John Urquhart the Former Husband of Church Beauty, Starts Legal Action, that Is Due for Hearing Some time Time this Week. The Former Miss Brown Claims Urquhart Marriage Annulled. "For years I've preached the gospel truth To each and every one, But when some brother trys to steal, My brown skinned gal, I'm done. "The good book says, "Thou shall not covet" That's the gospel law, But I'll bust the Ten Commandments On some Brother's jaw."

For the Miss Douglass-Brown heart by name, a few years previous legal action that is due some time this on the present Mrs. Thornton at the When the Rev. Montross Thornton, pastor of Bethel A. M. E. Church at 52 West 132nd Street, took unto himself a wife about two months ago, in the person of the fascinating Miss Alma Douglass Brown, a member of his congregation, he knowingly or unknowingly, it matters not which, sewed the seed of trouble that threatens to have far reaching results. For the Miss Douglass-Brown had married a young man, John Urquhart by name, a few years previous and that gentleman has launched legal action that is due some time this week, the papers having been served on the present Mrs. Thornton at the church some weeks ago. The triangle presents some of the most startling peculiarities, that rival any story of love fiction ever written. It presents one of the most complexed, complicated cases of But he was a patient lad and waited, waited for the final shock, notice that his wife had started divorce actions against him, claiming P. R. S. REV. MONTROSE THORNTON twisted love, rash, thoughtless, blind love, and deceit, ever told. And strange as it may seem, contrary to all the love novels, the man was the blind, foolish victim, a victim of his own thoughtless love, his mad love for a woman who never loved him, yet who went to the altar and said, "I do", perhaps never realizing her own state of mind. John Urquhart and Alma Douglass Brown were married according to the young man, in February, 1922. She was about twenty years old and he was about three years older. The two had been very friendly, both being active members of Bethel Church. But Alma's mother, Mrs. Douglass, had objected it seems, to her being courted by John, and they met clandestinely, where ever convenient. At first Miss Brown felt seriously aggrieved at her mother's objections to John calling, and rumor has it that she tried to take her own life. Apparently she told her devoted lover of her displeasure, and the two quietly arranged to be united, and they did, the ceremony being performed at the Municipal building. And that ceremony was the death of John Urquhart's love dream, for after that Miss Alma broke away from him completely. Unaware of his newly married wife's change of heart, or rather her awakening to the fact that she did not love him, John went to the expense of furnishing a home at 182 West 135th Street for his bride, spending about one thousand dollars on its equipment. But when he sent for his wife, she never came. Then came the news that she was enroute to California, and while others heard from the young lady, poor John never received a line as to her whereabouts or intentions. All the while she was enjoying the splendors of the coast trip and kept her friends informed.

M. E. took unto himself a wife about two discinating Miss Alma Douglass Brown, knowingly or unknowingly, it matters like that threatens to have far reaching had married a young man, John Urquius and that gentleman has launched this week, the papers having been served the church some weeks ago. But he was a patient lad and waited, waited for the final shock, notice that his wife had started divorce actions against him, claiming that the marriage was forced, and he did not know any thing more until about two months ago, when notice of her marriage to Rev. Thornton appeared in one of the papers. Rev. Thornton and the young lady were married according to reports, in Philadelphia July 7th, 1924, at the residence of Mrs. C. F. Boggs, 30 South Ruby Street, the Reverend Dr. Watkins performing the ceremony. Shortly after being united, the couple came to New York and took up their residence at the pastor's residence next to the church in West 132nd Street. Rev. Thornton has had a spirited time of it during his stay of about four years at Bethel Church. As a matter of fact, he was forced to resort to legal aid to assume charge of the West 132nd Street religious institution, as there was some hostility toward him. Then more recently he was involved in a legal action against John D. Robinson, whom he was or is sueing for $50,000.00 damages for criminal libel and slander. Now comes the action of John Urquhart against the Mrs. Thornton. Mrs. Thornton claims that her marriage to John Urquhart was annulled in 1923, November 7th, but absolutely refused to divulge on just what grounds the annullment was granted. What she claims will come out in due time. But what is puzzling many of the SUES FOR DIVORCE A. JOHN URQUHART First Husband of the Present Mrs. Thornton church folks is, why did Miss Brown or rather Mrs. Urquhart go all the way to California for her action against her husband, John Urquhart, and where did the money come from to finance the trip for her and her mother, Mrs. Douglass? And the most puzzling angle to them is, when did the Rev. Thornton begin his courtship of the popular church beauty, for she left shortly after her marriage to Urquhart, making the long, expensive trip to MRS. MONTR Formerly the Wife of John Urq Was Annulled By The atmosphere of this occasion was most dramatic, Mr. Volley V. Stokes, spokesman for the crew, was not lacking in picturesqueness of language in uligizing Mr. Smith and his official staff for their firmness of character and splendid generalship which causes them not only to be admired but also loved by their followers. Mr. Smith, though greatly moved by the intense feeling and demonstration of the occasion, did not lose his splendid command of rhetoric in praising his crew for their loyal support, outlining his standard of manhood and womanhood necessary to survival among the fittest.

VILLEPIGUE INN CREW HONORS LEADERS September 21st, will mark the end of a very interesting season at Villepigue's Inn, Sheepshead Bay, N. Y. The army of workers are possessed, as usual, with that complex emotion peculiar to that group; that is, joy as a result of the splendid fellowship that has pervailed, and sorrow that time, master of all things, has decreed an early parting hour. This feeling, no less than ever, found its expression in the usual way of concentrating honor upon the dynamic features of the organization where they were justly due. The whole crew, both men and women, assembled in the main room of the institution, on Saturday afternoon, and presented to Mr. W. Lee Smith, headwaiter, a handsome toilet set of cut glass silver; to Mr. William G. (Billy) Burke, secondwaiter, a white-gold "Gruen" watch; to Mr. W. George Hall, Captain, a handsome traveling bag.

TATTLER PROMOTING FIRST BEAUTY CONTEST Tattler Ball Will Give Beauties From All Over the East An Opportunity to Win One Hundred Dollars in Gold. Are you pretty, or think you are? Do you measure thirty-eight or less? If so, then you are eligible to candidacy in the stupendous beauty contest and pageant, to be given by the Tattler at Manhattan Casino, 155th Street and 8th Avenue, on Friday evening. October 10th. Just apply at the office of this popular weekly for an application and then sign on the dotted line, if you do not measure up to the above specifications, do not bother, for already nearly two-hundred entries have been received, and the difficulty of deciding the winner can be imagined when you learn that these entries come from as far south as Richmond, Va., and as far north as Boston, Mass. It will be necessary to hold an elimination contest before the night of the pageant, and only those who survive will appear at the pageant. The winner will be chosen from this group by competent judges of beauty, and will be presented with one hundred dollars in gold. Other prizes which you learn of by reading the Tattler weekly, will be given away also. A short program of select talent will open the pageant, which will be followed by dancing to the strains of Della Sutton's augmented orchestra of Melody Girls. This orchestra of young women is fast taking the place of more famous musical organizations because of their more efficient work, and it is in line with the Tattler's progressive ideas to be among the first to recognize their ability. It is also appropriate at this beauty pageant, for there are numbered among Miss Sutton's musicians many who might be well up in the contest if they had a mind to enter. It is safe to say, that the Tattler Beauty Pageant will be the first of its kind in the East, and as to its elaborateness, one has only to recall the fashion shows of the last two years to rest assured that this latest endeavor will be up to the minute. The general admission will be one dollar. Boxes and Lodges are on sale at the office of the Tattler, 201 West 138th Street, N. Y. C. Phone Bradhurst 2321. "LOST VIGOR RESTORED IN 24 HOURS" "Glands Awakened in One Day" Is the Amazing Statement of a 76-Year-Old Veteran. Lost vigor, deadened glands and nerves, and that weak, worn-out, depressed and half-alive feeling need not be dreaded any longer since the discovery of a well known chemist. Now it is possible for those who feel "prematurely old" to become "rejuvenated" and regain the "vital force of youth," often in a day's time, with Mando Formula, is the amazing statement of one who has taken the treatment. This famous discovery is bringing "renewed youth" and "strength" to thousands where everything else had failed. "I want to say that my 'lost vigor' was restored and 'glands renewed' in twenty-four hours," says D. B. Peake of Kansas City, Mo. "Today I am 76, but I don't feel a day over 40. Before I started taking the treatment I felt I was an old, worn-out' man; but now I am enjoying a remarkable 'gland restoration' and am convinced' my 'rejuvenation' is complete and permanent. May God's blessing rest on the discoverer of such a 'boon to humanity.'" This wonderful formula, prepared by one of the largest laboratories in the world and generally known as Mando, is easily used at home and seems to work like magic in its rapidity on people of all ages and sexes. No matter how bad your condition, no matter what your age or occupation, no matter what you have tried if you are lacking in "vigor" and the "vital force of youth" we are so confident Mando Formula will restore you that we offer to send a large $3.50 bottle for only $1.95 on 10 days' free trial. If the results are not satisfactory and you are not more than pleased in every way, it costs you nothing. Send no money—just your name and address to F. L. Carlin, 661 Baltimore Bldg., Kansas City, Mo., and the treatment will be mailed at once. Use it according to simple directions. If at the end of 10 days you are not showing "wonderful improvement" and "rejuvenation," just send it back and your money will be refunded without question. This offer is fully guaranteed, so write today and give this "remarkable formula" a trial.

The Republicans, with avowed klan support, carried Maine with a sweep, winning the Governor, the United States Senator and the four members of Congress. The result is said to have stiffened the Republican leaders to take all the klan support they can get and say nothing about the klan, with President Coolidge keeping silent on the challenge of Mr. Davis that he come out in the open and declare himself on the klan issue. Think of Abraham Lincoln and the Republican party of which he was the first President taking any such position. It can't be thought, because Mr. Lincoln denounced the same doctrine when put forward, and had the country in an uproar, in his times, by the Know Nothing cranks and firebrands. The reasons given by Mr. Lewis are succinctly stated in the following paragraph: "I propose to vote against the Republican ticket this year as a protest against the treatment accorded the colored voter by the Republican party in power, which has used the Negro vote to get into power, and then turned against it to pursue a policy of 'Lily Whitism,' exclusion from office, and segregation in office. Appeals to the responsible authorities for representation, for plain justice for the colored Republicans, have fallen upon deaf ears. There is nothing left for self-respecting colored Republicans, except to turn that party out of power and to try another. Every four years we are given a pat on the back and a few kind words, only to raise hopes and expectations which are never realized." The truth of these strictures made by Mr. Lewis cannot be gainsaid. The practice of exclusion from office was exemplified in the case of the minister to Haiti, the register of the Treasury, the collectors of customs at various Southern ports, the Internal Revenue collectors at Atlanta, Jacksonville, Hawaii, and other places, besides the many posts in the consular service from which the colored occupants were ejected by Secretary Bryan, in order to find places for "deserving Democrats." The practice of excluding applicants of darker skins from the civil service by requiring photographs to be attached to their applications, a Democratic device, has been continued under the Republicans with the same drastic intolerance. The petty and humiliating barriers raised to segregate the two races in the departments at Washington, and in many of the offices throughout the country, still remain in force, regardless of any change of administration. Promotion has been denied those who have deserved advancement, solely on the ground of color. The shortcomings enumerated by the Age are far from being all of them by a heap which can and will be enumerated as we go along. But justification for protest and bolting on the part of Afro-Americans from the Republican party is furnished by the High Priest of Negro Republican Regularity, and that's going some, and should make the Republican managers tired in the knees. Editor Moore's position is a painful one. If he should need some sympathy, The Tattler, which keeps a large assortment in stock, is willing and ready to give him as he may need. His painful position may be summed up as follows: He who in other campaigns was the Big Thing at Republican Headquarters must find himself looked upon with suspicion because of his outspoken criticism of Republican policies and men, and because Mr. George W. Harris, the Ishmaelic editor of the New York News, whom Mr. Moore despises and passes by on the other side, is chief of the Negro Publicity department, while Mr. Lester A. Walton, his son-in-law, is chief of the Negro Publicity department of the Democratic party, and he can't go near either headquarters without starting th eshaking of heads and wagging of tongues. We have tolerated the shortcomings of the Republican THE TATTLER THEY SAY HARRY WILL YET TO COVER ELUSIVE HEY say, who are able authority and how they should be, and they say that it is at the end, and that it is a last rung and a real top.

Instead of getting better they have progressively gotten worse. Simple manhood, and decency and self-respect require that we back up the protest with works that talk louder than words. THEY SAY HARRY WILLS HAS MUCH DISTANCE YET TO COVER BEFORE FACING THE ELUSIVE JACK DEMPSEY. HEY say, who are always questionable and irresponsible authority and hard to trace in the places where they should be, and which is characteristic of Gossips, they say that it is a long lane that does not turn up at the end, and that it is a long ladder, indeed, which has no last rung and a real top. The chase of Afro-American pugilists after Jack Dempsey's championship belt and the Big Money appears to be a sort of lane that has no end to turn up and no last rung and top to be reached. Like the Dutchman's flea, he is always somewhere else when you think he is where you expect him. Jack Dempsey is a veteran in the dodging business, not only as a prize fighter but as a patriot, and dodged into a work shop instead of into the ranks as a soldier during the World War. He has been dodging Harry Wills for years and he is still dodging him. Jack Kearns, his manager, is out with the noise that Harry Wills, although he may have a match with Dempsey, having disposed of Luis Angel Firpo, should first meet Tommie Gibbons. That is nothing but a sidestep of the whiskered sort. Before he got the decision from Firpo the Sports writers all had it that he would be entitled to meet Dempsey, but they must not have consulted Jack Kearns. It should not be forgotten that Dempsey failed to do any more than get the decision over Gibbons, who is a stiff proposition. Why don't Dempsey go after Gibbons and do him or be done before he takes on Wills? Candidly, The Tattler does not think that Wills has much of a chance of besting Dempsey if they should meet, and we think he will if Wills shall not be bested by some other on his way to Dempsey mapped out for him by Kearns. We base our opinion on Wills' showing against Firpo. Firpo acknowledged that he was the easy mark at the end of the first round. In the second, when he was down Wills could have finished him when he got up and would have done so, as he had plenty of reserved strength and opportunity, if he had not been too cautious. After the second round Firpo got wise to his danger and gave Wills little chance to kayo him simply by clinching and hanging on to Wills, hitting in the clinches not being allowed and opportunity out of them not being given by the fat bull. Because he did hit in the clinches, because he could not get the chance to hit otherwise, many Sports writers claim that Wills was guilty of many fouls, which the referee, who was no friend of Wills, allowed, so that the bout should not be broken off before the fans had got something for the big money they paid to see the go. Wills was the better man and should have rushed matters after the knockdown in the second and kept on rushing until he put the Angel out for the count. Jack Dempsey did that thing in dealing with the same gent in the same place. If a fighter is too timid to go in and finish the win when he has the advantage he will be discredited even when he gets the decision. If he should take the same plan of battle to Jack Dmpsey he would get pulped, as Dempsey has shown he is not afraid to go the limit when he has the advantage. Wills received $150,000 for the fight, and we are glad of it, and hope that he will hold on to enough of it not to die a pauper after living in poverty, as has been the lot of some of our best ringmasters. Firpo received $159,000 as his share, but did not earn $9,000 of it. Note and Comment By T. THOMAS FORTUNE DEFENSE DAY statistics show that whatever peace advocates and opponents of war may think about it, the people of the United States are convinced that the time to prepare for war is in times of peace and that the best way to prevent war is to be prepared for it if it should break upon the country any old how. Personally that is the way I feel about it. A person should always be prepared for trouble, although a perfectly law abiding person. Crooks of all sorts are always prepared for trouble. So it is with Nations; although loving peace they should be prepared to fight if they have to. Mankind are naturally warlike, for the most part; that is, one part want peace and the other part want war of some sort, and those who don't want it will be smashed up if they are not prepared for those who want it and force it upon them. Afro-Americans have always done their full duty by the country as soldiers when called upon, but the country has never done us justice as soldiers. This was especially true in the World War, in which we were disgracefully treated upon the European fronts and in the home camps. But we are proud of our soldier boys, and when the Fighting Fifteenth as reorganized marched off to camp the other day they not only made a brave appearance but all D .

Harry Wills for years and he turns, his manager, is out with the though he may have a match with of Luis Angel Firpo, should first it is nothing but a sidestep of the got the decision from Firpo that it he would be entitled to meet he have consulted Jack Kearns. If Dempsey failed to do any more babbons, who is a stiff proposition Gibbons and do him or be done. does not think that Wills has much desey if they should meet, and wi not be bested by some other on his for him by Kearns. We base our against Firpo. Firpo acknowledges the end of the first round. In the Wills could have finished him where he so, as he had plenty of reserves, had not been too cautious. After rise to his danger and gave Wills apply by clinching and hanging on is not being allowed and opportun in by the fat bull. Because he did he could not get the chance to his claim that Wills was guilty of who was no friend of Wills, all not be broken off before the fans money they paid to see the goo and should have rushed matters second and kept on rushing until count. Jack Dempsey did that he gent in the same place. If a had finish the win when he has the and even when he gets the decision man of battle to Jack Dmpsey how has shown he is not afraid to advantage. In the fight, and we are glad of it, so enough of it not to die a pauper been the lot of some of our best 159,000 as his share, but did not Harlem turned out on the sidewalks and at the windows to observe and applaud them. Now, then, are the people of the country interested in being prepared for war while loving peace? In the nine corps areas on Defense Day 16,000,000 civilians participated in the exercises and 2,000,000 are enrolled and ready to fight. That shows the proper National spirit. The Nations of the world know that the United States is ready to fight if the fight is fetched to them. Personally the race is not noted for courage when its rights are violently assailed or when the honor of their women is at stake. They are always ready to fight among themselves but they are seldom ready to fight white scamps who would impose upon them. We are growing better in this respect, however, and we should keep on a-coming. I admire men like J. Finley Wilson, who, when returning from Cuba with his bride, was ready with two guns when a Florida mob aroused him in the Pullman car. When they saw he was ready and willing to shoot they backed away like the cowards they always are. But Mr. Wilson, who is proprietor and editor of the Washington Eagle and Grand Exalted Ruler of the Elks, showed the same sort of courage in the Washington riots, as did 21, 1984 Sunday, September GIVING The gift of giving gracefully and the art of receiving graciously—is it true that we have lost these two attributes? Is it a fact that we have grown suspicious of those who could do good to us? And have we been burned by gifts which had their origin in the low, slow fires of greed? Is it that to be under obligation for a gift which should have been made freely, is to have incurred a debt which can never be paid, that we do not receive with pleasure? What are the means of giving which shall add to the sum of our happiness and therefore our health and especially to the total of that grace which we covet for our personalities? Not more than ten days ago, it came to my attention that someone weary and troubled, much alone with anxieties which called for courage, and both physical and mental fortitude, was walking—half running perhaps—between work and home and hospital. This person told me that many a time an ordinary decent friendly glance from one of the fellow trevelers would have cheered and encouraged beyond measure, but instead of the courteous and friendly look, there were rude stares and glances which held in leash unkindness, hardness, and one would almost say, hatred. Those people little knew that such unconsidered passive acts plunged lower the heavy spirits of one who sorely needed the evidence of man's humanity to man. It is true—plainly, soberly and demonstratably true—that bitterness, unkindness, secretly or openly harbored emotions of dislike and hatred, act as destroyers of that peace of mind which is essential to the health of mentally normal human beings. Just as bacteria throw off poisons which, when absorbed into the blood stream, cause a toxemia which is manifested by a loss of resistance, a lack of power to do one's best work, irritability and kindred symptoms, so does the poison of uncharitable thoughts spread throughout the system to wreck its actual physical harm. It is not beyond the province of preventive medicine to call attention to the fact that every endeavor to cultivate sincere kindness of thought and deed reacts upon—the "inward grace" truly—and upon the health of individuals. T. HARVEY BURRIS PAYS THE "TATTLER" A VISIT Mr. Burris, head of the Morehouse unit of the American Federation of Negro Students, dropped in last week to pay his respects to the Editor and thank him on behalf of the Negro Youth Movement for the fine spirit of cooperation shown by "The Tattler." Mr. Burris has dedicated his life to the promotion of a higher culture and more whole-hearted cooperation among members of our racial group as have all members of the A. F. N. S. He has been attending the Summer Session at Columbia in an effort to complete the four-year college course at Morehouse in three years. His record was A in all subjects taken with perfect papers in every examination of the Session. a host of other race men and women, who made it so hot that, after the third day, the white rioters were ready to quit and did quit. My idea is never to run into a fight and never to run out of a fight. Make the scamp or scamps who fetch the fight to you run. I have traveled all over the country and half around the globe and I have found that those who wanted to row with me were glad to compromise when they found I was ready to row with them. "Still, in thy hands carry gentle peace to silence envious tongues withal," as Mr. William Shakespeare teaches us. And it is worthy of observation that our prize fighters have never shown any fear of their white opponents, even although the vast assemblages were made up of white men who were hostile and showed that they were. The average of us may be no better than our prize fighters in this matter of courage but we certainly should be as good. (1) What do you know about this! What do you know about this! Sunday. September 21, 1924 WAR RISK On Sept. 2, 1914, a month after the outbreak of a recent war, Congress, by statute, authorized the Treasury Department to insure U. S. merchant vessels and their cargoes against the hazards of war. Thus came into being the Bureau of War Risk Insurance. Last week, this insurance business was "wound up"; it has ceased to exist. Apparently, this was one of the few departments of the Government which made a financial profit out of the War. Although $29,497,331.23 was paid out on claims for losses, there remained over $17 million in profit; and the appropriation of $50 million made by Congress to cover losses was entirely untouched. The largest single loss was $4,-467,336 on the steamer Argonaut and the largest single payment was $2,200,000 for the loss of the Standard Oil tanker John D. Archbold. Thus has the account been closed out with no red ink on the ledger. POLITICAL NOTES The campaign to get out the vote for the November election is becoming picturesque. The National Association of Manufacturers is planning to have some 15 million pieces of literature sent out. One of them is a circular entitled: "Stockholders' Meeting of the U. S. A., Nov. 4. Attend and vote! Vote as you please, but vote!" MAYOR CURLEY In Boston, Mayor James M. Curley vetoed the request of the Socialist Party for permission to hold a peace demonstration on Boston Common on Defense Day. Sept. 12. "As an American Mayor of an American city, interested in America, I am opposed to anything that savors of pacifist propaganda which, in my opinion, unless checked, may serve to deprive Americans of their present splendid heritage which was secured through use of the sword; and, so long as the governments of the world continue constructed as at present, they can only be preserved and perpetuated by the sword." True Democracy Congress received a neat roasting last week: "The British Colonies are a source of revenue to the Crown. The Philippines have been in our possession for over 25 years; we have spent over $750,000,000 in developing them, but they have returned no revenue. MATERNITY The Department of Labor issued its first report on one of its latest Labors-or relatively one of its latest Labors. In November, 1921, Congress passed a Maternity and Infancy Act. On March 20, 1922, the first funds became available. The report covers the following 15 months of work. The Act is administered by six people who comprise the Division of Maternity and Infant Hygiene of the Children's Bureau of the Department of Labor. The Bureau disseminates authoritative information on maternity and infant hygiene, and it furnishes funds with which States carry on the active work within their borders. There are various conditions on which this financial aid is given. Some is given outright; some must be matched by an equal appropriation from the State. During the 15 months' period under report, $1,046,523 was dispersed by the Federal Government and $641,523 by States in cooperation with the Federal agency. "WE SAY IT WITH NEWS" COOLIDGE IS URGED TO SPURN KU KLUX Washington, Sept. 14. Indiana Republicans are splitting away from Senator Watson's decision that the way for them to handle the Klan issue there is to ignore it. It is now rumored that representations are being made to President Coolidge that the position taken bids fair to defeat Ed. Jackson, their candidate for Governor, and the suggestion is made that the only thing which can save the Republican national ticket is for the President to take the issue out of politics, by himself declaring against the Ku Klux. Reports from Indiana say pressure has been brought on Jackson to take the issue away from the Democrats by repudiating the Klan, which has indorsed him; but the answer was made that a recantation at this late day would not bring back the Republicans who have quit him because of the Klan, while it inevitably would break up the one solid block of votes on which he can rely. So it is assumed that the candidate for Governor will have to go through on his original schedule. The only hope for him, it is urged, is for the President to take the initiative. As he has indorsed Jackson, this might bring back the Negroes to the Republican fold. WOMEN BREAK THREE ATHLETIC RECORDS Paris, Sept.—Three world and two French records were broken to-day in the athletic competition of the French Feminine Federation. Madame Regel of France set a new world's record for the half-mile walk of 4 minutes 13 seconds, and, continuing, made a kilometre record of 5 minutes 15 1-5 seconds. Mlle. Alauze, France, established a world record of 17 4-5 seconds for the 120-yard dash. The two new French records were for the 80-metres dash, which Mme. Radideau, the titleholder, set at 10 1-5 seconds, and the 200-metre dash, which she lowered to 26 2-5 seconds. JAPAN Ambassadors Ambassadors are exchangeable commodities. When Washington announced that it was sending Edgar Addison Bancroft to Tokyo as U. S. Ambassador to Japan, Tokyo scouted about to find someone to send to Washington as Japanese Ambassador to the U. S. in succession to smiling Ambassador Masanao Hanihara. The choice was said to have fallen upon Tokichi Tanaka, whilom Vice Minister for Foreign Affairs, whilom Counselor of Embassy, whilom Consul at Seattle. But Eki Hioki, once Japanese Ambassador to Germany, and Tsunso Matsudaira, a sub-minister in the present Cabinet, were also mentioned as marketable diplomats. OIL The Government's special counsel for investigating and prosecuting the oil scandals has apparently hit upon an entirely new tack. Behind closed portals in Washington, a Special Grand Jury was called to hear 15 witnesses, subpoenaed duces tecum (bring your books and papers). All that transpired was that the proceedings had nothing to do with the Sinclair and Doheny oil leases. The witnesses were an entirely different group from that which was examined by the Senatorial Committees (Time, May 12 et seq.). The new investigation is supposed to have something to do with the Mexia oil field in Texas. THE TATTLER CHICAGO DEFENDER M. TONY LANGSTON "Boss of the "Old Roll Top Desk" TONY LANGSTON WITH JORDAN AT BIG FIGHT Rotund and smiling, hail and hearty, Tony Langston, well known theatrical critic of the Chicago Defender, rode into town on Wednesday to write his views of the WillsFirpo battle for the readers of the popular Windy City sheet. After making a survey of the New York office of his own paper where smiling "Bill" White and Jim Chestnut were waiting for this congenial fellow with open arms (every one seems glad of his presence wherever he goes), Tony made a beeline for the office of the Tattler, where he was ushered into the presence of the Chief Editor, Jordan, without the least sort of preliminaries. Everyone on the Tattler office force knows Tony Langston, and the good fellowship that exists between him and our Chief. Therefore, he has the key to the office whenever he appears. Tony and the Chief went to the big fight together, and had a wonderful time. Before they reached home they spent an enjoyable evening cheering Harry Wills as the Brown Panther tamed the "Wild Bull." It is this affable and congenial spirit of good fellowship that has brought success to Mr. Langston in the world of journalism, for he can surely be counted among the successful men of color in his profession. Starting with this famous newspaper of the western metropolis, The Chicago Defender, in its infancy, Mr. Langston, along with Mr. Abbott, its owner, saw many hard and trying times. He can give one a particularly entertaining evening relating some of the amusing incidents which were a part of his life during the early days of the paper he now points to with pride. And he can also bring tears of pity to your eyes as he relates some of the hardships endured endeavoring to put this great enterprise over. The success of the Defender speaks for itself, and Mr. Langston is now enjoying the benefits of his endeavor, along with the others who were with Mr. Abbott through thick and thin. In his present capacity as theatrical critic, a particularly trying position, especially on a race journal, Mr. Langston or Tony as most theatrical folk affectionately refer to him, has endeared himself to the hearts of a great host of performers through his full-hearted consideration of their welfare. Not one in a hundred will stand for an ill word against their "Moses" and many of them will get right down to fisticuffs for Tony. His stay in New York has been an extremely enjoyable one, for his --- By F. J. Accooe friends have seen to it that everything was done to make him feel at home—our Chief included. The Tattler will be always glad to welcome any member of the craft especially if he possesses just one-half the qualities that have endeared Mr. Langston to his many friends. H. B. Rowe, another newspaper man, of Minneapolis, Minn., also came East to witness the big fight, and was a visitor at the Tattler office. He was very much disappointed at not having seen Wills knock out Firpo. MR. FORTUNE WAS PIONEER IN RACE'S POLITICAL THINKING HON. WILLIAM H. LEWIS RECALLS WHAT MR. FORTUNE WROTE ON THE SUBJECT FORTY YEARS AGO. HE following letter to T. Thomas Fortune from Hon. William H. Lewis, of the Boston Law firm of Lewis, Fox & Andrew, one of the most outstanding and upstanding public men of the race to-day, who has declared that he will support Mr. John W. Davis and the Democratic party in the pending cam- sign. will be read with interest: "My dear Tom:—Thank you so much for your letter of September 8th, and your kindly offer of sympathy and assistance. Nothing could possibly please me more than t ohave your approval and assistance in this movement. I recognize you as the pioneer in this work. I have taken occasion recently to read over some of the things which you have said in your book called 'Black and White,' written forty years ago. One of the things that struck me very forcibly is the following: "It is time that the colored voter learned to leave his powerless 'protectors' and take care of himself. Let every one read, listen, think, form his own ideas of affairs in his locality;—when the colored voters differ among themselves, and will be found on both sides of local political contests, they will begin to find themselves of some political importance; their votes will be sought, cast and counted. This is the key to the whole situation. Let them make themselves a part of the people. It will take time, patience, intelligence, courage, but it can be done. Until it is done their path will lie in darkness and perhaps in blood." There were no disfranchising laws and few jim crow regulations in travel when Mr. Fortune wrote the foregoing forty years ago, and the awful history which has been made since then may have been entirely different if the race had followed the political policy Mr. Fortune then advocated. Mr. Fortune now declares that, among the most conclusive reasons at this time why Afro-Americans should divide their votes and become independent of dependence upon the Republican party is that, as the Federal Supreme Court has decided that all of the social, civil and economic legislation which affects the rights of the race is entirely within the jurisdiction of the States, and not within the scope of Federal jurisdiction,—if the race continues its blind and stubborn support of the Republican party in the Northern and Western States, a like system of discriminatory policy and legislation as we have to contend with now in the Southern States may be expected to develop in the Northern and Western States, in which the influx of Southern Negroes has already created a problem. The privileges and immunities of citizens are almost within the scope of State jurisdiction and are touched only remotely by Federal jurisdiction. That is true of all groups of the citizenship. The State in which he resides is the proper place for the citizen to fight out his fight for justice and fairplay. If he doesn't get these in his State he will not get them through Federal authority because they are not within the jurisdiction of Federal authority. Mr. John W. Davis is four-square on all questions affecting the rights of the race, and the record proves it to be so. That is a great deal more than the record shows and proves for Mr. Calvin Coolidge.

UNITED STATES SUPPLY CO. 4437 ELSTON, AVE. DEPT.21-IC CHICAGO ILL. . The "Wild Bull" No Match for the "Brown Panther" But 50,000 Fans Are Disappointed by Tame Fight Harry Wills easily defeated Luis Firpo at Boyle's Thirty Acres, Jersey City, last Thursday night, Sept. 11th, in a slow and one-sided contest that more resembled a steveadore rough house than a boxing contest between two trained athletes. Firpo proved a mere novice and from the very start showed that he was the rankest kind of an apology. Yet he managed to stay 12 dreary dull rounds with the highly touted "Brown Panther" Harry Wills. Only in the second round was there a thrill to arouse interest in the extensively advertised bout. In the second round Harry dropped a short right hand chop on the jaw of the gent from Argentine, and Luis was floored for a short count. Apparently he was more surprised than hurt, for he scrambled to his feet with surprising agility and a pained expression on his face that seemed to say, "Hey, Harry, you're a bit too rough." At any rate, Harry forgot all about fighting the rest of that round, and the crowd was disappointed. The crowd was with the "Panther" almost to a man. When the big New Orleans fighter entered the ring a few minutes before ten, he was given a bigger ovation than that accorded the world's champion, Jack Dempsey, but a few minutes previous. Dempsey, for some reason or other, saw fit to enter the ring prior to the main bout, and while the big gathering gave him a nice round of applause, they kept reminding the big champ that the "Panther" was on his trail, and wanted to know when he would fight Harry. The preliminaries were the poorest ever seen by us, the best bout being that between Joe Stoessel and Jim Maloney, the latter winning easily. Stoessell was picked by Damon Runyon as a prospective world's champion, therefore Maloney should be a champion. Bill Tate scored a quick knockout over John Casanova, putting the Casanova gent away in two minutes and a half of the first round. Firpo was the first to enter the ring and was given a mild reception, but when Harry followed a few minute later, the crowd broke loose and cheered the colored heavyweight champion as if he were a king. Harry was the favorite and when the men squared off the fans implored him things of Bill Dill and good wishes for his sure doubt or aspersion of Bill Dill is a real jolly and should make an aficer for the new man the Breakers as wellployees who desire to THE BALL Firpo Getting up after being floored for a short count by a right on the jaw. Page 6 "LIVE NEWS WELL FEATURED" THE TATTLER By BENNIE BUTLER make a quick job of the visitor from Argentine. Wills seemed to forget how to use his left hand for anything other than holding while slambing away in steveadore fashion with his right. He pounded Luis around the kidney all through the fight, but made little effort to use a left hook or to jaw. But one thing that Harry did do, was to show up the critics who had claimed that Firpo would prove stronger than the "Panther" and he very clearly proved that Firpo's right was a joke weapon. He toyed with the so-called "Wild Bull" and made him look like a garden nanny goat. And just why Harry failed to knock out the visitor from Argentine is one of those passing mysteries that is beyond understanding. If the bout was on the level, then Wills' left arm must be muscle bound or paralized. The big fellow is not the Wills of about ten years ago, nor did we expect that he would be. But he did have to be no more than 40 per cent of the Wills of earlier days to have stopped Firpo, and that quickly. There were fully 50,000 people out, representing almost every walk of life. The colored fight fans turned out in force to cheer the "Brown Panther," coming from all parts of the country. About eight thousand colored folks were present, including men and women. And several thousand more would have journeyed here to cheer Harry had they been certain that the fight would certainly be staged. BILL DILL. The Hotel World can justly feel proud of men who continuously make good, for the reason that they are supports for the few remaining jobs left open for colored men that depend on ability for continuation. Bill Dill, one of the most adept headwaiters in our service, has been recently acclaimed as headwaiter for the "Breakers" Hotel, Palm Beach, Fla., succeeding the late Morris Skelly, whose personality is a fixed monument in the minds of thousands of co-workers as well as guests. Mr. Dill realizes that his advancement is creditable because he has proved his ability in rendering service as an assistant and now he can feel safely assured, in his new position, of having the good will of the hotel men and women from every quarter. THE TATTLER is expecting big things of Bill Dill and we cast our good wishes for his success without doubt or aspersion of his ability. Bill Dill is a real jolly good fellow and should make an acceptable officer for the new management of the Breakers as well as the employees who desire to return. ST. CHRISTOPHER CLUB GIVES BIG RECEPTION Once Famous Club of St. Phillips' Parish Stages Great Come-Back in Dance at Renaissance Casino. Tuesday evening, September 16th, proved a banner night for the revived St. Christopher Club of St. Phillips' Parish, for this organization that once enjoyed the greatest popularity of any of the clubs around New York, got under way once more when they put over one of the best dances that this season will see, at Renaissance Casino, on that evening. Many of the old followers of this club showed their appreciation of what the revived organization is doing by turning out and aiding in making this affair the great success it turned out to be. It has been many a day since so many of the old followers of the once famous "Red and Black Machine" have been assembled together, and it made one's mind travel back to the good old days when "You and I were young Maggie." John C. Smith's Society Orchestra was on the job with the sort of syncopation that has made this group of musicians famous, and they brought the good old times close to home with their renditions of old time melodies of the days when St. Christopher was ablaze with the glory of conquest. The officers of the revived organization are for the most part men who were active in the doings of the old club, and they are: Lauritz M. Berry, President; David Watkins, Vice-President; Egbert C. Pile, Secretary; H. Bouchet Day, Treasurer; Rushford-Lord, Financial Secretary and Waverly Hargrave, Sergeant at Arms. Together with the members of the club these men worked faithfully to make their initial dance a success, and they were splendidly warded for their effort.

Clever Vaudeville Acts Please Sandy Burns stole away from Gibson and the Standard Theatre of Philadelphia, for a short visit to the big Metropolis and were welcomed at the Lincoln Theatre by Mr. Raymond Snyder and several thousand Harlemites who heard of the famous Quaker City comedien's arrival here And Sandy certainly made everybody happy with the aid of his wonderful musical comedy company of some fifteen people. There was that most pleasing little artist, Inez Dennis, the queen of song and dance. Sam Russell, the funniest funny man that ever cracked a joke, and George Wiltshire, rated among the best of straight men. The little theatre of Mrs. Downs was packed at every performance during the week, and everybody was highly pleased with the spirited comedy and clever musical numbers of the aggregation. They featured a clever little sketch dealing with theatrical life, and the public was well entertained. Other acts on the bill were the "Ebony Trio," of Joe Simms, Ethel Ridley and Jimmy Thomas, and won hearty applause for their clever work. And the two white novelty acts, one musical and the other acrobatic, proved clever artists. These acts were the Miline and Curtis act, musical entertainers, and the Oxford Trio. 66 West 140th St., Apt. 2; 4 Room Apartment For Rent as long as desired. 101 West 130th St., Basement, Janitor.

Smith, who weighed 152 pounds, put up a good fight against the colored lad, who weighed 148, up to the time of the knock-out, but Jeck kept far enough in the lead of his opponent to gain the verdict if it had gone the limit. His counters had the white boy beat at every turn and his trusty left hand kept the dangerous Smith from getting close enough to get in any effective work. Smith walked into a right cross in the fifth that put him completely out. In the ten round semi-final Al Brown, the elongated flyweight of Harlem, scored another of his quick knockouts, when he put Willie Salter away after twenty-two seconds of fighting in the first round. Salter was no match for Brown, who battered his opponent all around the ring before finally finishing him. Brown weighed 113 pounds and his opponent, who was substituting for Billy Marlow, weighed 112. Sunday, September 21, 1924 RAYETTE CASTLE ENTIRE NEW SHOW MON-THUR.

Billy King has assembled an array of good talent for his current offering, having no less a star than Billy Higgins, one of our cleverest wearers of the cork, as one of his chief entertainers, Higgins stops to show with his nonsense, and pandemonium breaks loose when he renders the "West Indies Blues" as only Billy Higgins can. Alexander Patti proved to be a very clever juggler and balancer. Difficult feats, such as eating and drinking while standing on his head, entertained a large audience immensely. Ferguson and Smith were highly entertaining with their nifty dancing, while Justa and her Boys, though opening rather slow, did some dancing that gained them rounds of applause at the end. Prince Sherdi, in musical novelties, closed a particularly clean and wholesome program. A photo-drama entitled "The Masked Dancer", with Lowel Sherman and Helen Chadwick in leading roles, came between Billy King's abbreviation comedy and the remainder of the bill and was of a calibre that fitted in well with the rest of the bill.

PETER "SNAPPY AND INTERESTING" JUST ONE CLINCH AFT HARRY EASILY TOSSED A HARRY EASILY TOSSED THE "BULL" "CHOCOLATE DANDIES" IS SCORING HEAVILY (By F. J. ACCOOE) Finishing up the first month of their run at the Colonial Theatre with unusual prosperity and artistic success, Sissle and Blake's "Chocolate Dandies" seem due for a long stay at this playhouse. For the nightly throngs that are seeing this production leave at the finale well pleased with what they have seen and heard. "Chocolate Dandies" is without a doubt the most picturesque product that a colored company has ever presented to Broadway, with the possible exception of Williams and Walker's classical production "ABYSSINIA", and it is not overstepping bounds in comparing it's beautiful settings with the best that Broadway affords.

CH AFTER ANOTHER CROSSED THE "BULL" of the star composers, and long a star over Columbia Burlesque circuit, carries the burden of the comedy upon his shoulders, and this funny fellow surely makes a hit with the public. His clever dancing has stopped the show at each performance since the opening night and if the show has the long stay predicted, Hudgins will have a great share in it's success. Lew Payton supports Hudgins in admirable style and a host of other stars who are doing their share to put this production over include: Lottie Gee, Ivan Browning, Josephine Baker, Valade Snow, Elizabeth Welsh, W. A. Hann, Amanda Randolph, Fred. Robinson, Russell Smith, J. Mardo Brown, William Grundy, Mildred Smallwood and a beautiful dancing chorus. The racing scene which is very realistic, with real live horses, gives the sporting fraternity a thrill the like of which is seldom experienced in a theatre. Folks became excited and all over the house they could be heard urging the horses to greater effort. "The Slave of Love" the musical hit of the show has a beautiful theme, but it is doubtful if it will ever attain the popularity of "Love Will Find A Way." The whole score is very good and compares very favorably with the one and only "Shuffle Along," and from present indications the "Chocolate Dandies" will enjoy the distinction of being one of the greatest of musical comedies.

(THOMAS MOORE) NOT being satisfied to answer the roll call as a "Red Cap," Luke Craig of 129th St., had to answer the roll call in court, for biting his wife in the back, his teeth must have been quite sharp as it is rumored that wifie Craig showed the marks to the Judge, "All God's Chillun got teeth." Tod Sloane, famous "Gas Hound," of the Kingwood Garage, is rather sore as he has been giving a certain lady from Boston plenty of distance, remember Tod "That a rag a bone of hair does not always make a Dickdy." We wonder if the bottle that Lovey Joe had in his hand Saturday night was liniment, to rub his sore limbs, caused by a certain lady who Lovey had to run from in Saratoga, remember "Old Top" when a woman wins on a horse she wants bucks and not promises. We wonder where was Jimmy Knowles when a certain beautiful queen from Boston by the name of Marion, was strolling down Seventh Avenue Sunday night with a good looking Sheik? Maybe it was her brother. Taking one's vacation in Atlantic City, to enjoy the salt air is one thing; and taking one's vacation to imbibe freely in "Liquid Spirits" is another. It was the latter that came near landing Chester Booth, in the handcuffs of matrimony, to a little Damsel by the name of Betty. The light brigade composed of popular Harlem girls saved Chester from what might have been a sad awakening. Out of Harlem back to Baltimore, travelled Harry Bragg, skilled in the art craft of a lover, learned in all the lore of old men, from his lodge went "Harrywatha," dressed for travel, armed with cupid arrows, he could shoot love's arrows, with such strength and swiftness, that the tenth had left the bow string, ere the first a heart had found, "warning" said Bea King, "Go not forth Harrywatha, to the kingdom of the South wind, to the realms of the lovely Sarah Lillian, lest she entice you with her magic, lest you love her with her beauty, but the fearless "Harrywatha" heeded not her woman's warning, forwith to the realm of Sarah, traveled the brave "Harrywatha," at each mile he measured, fair seemed the sky above him, lurid seemed the earth beneath him, like a living coal his heart was, so he journeyed and left the fleetest dear behind him, crossed the rushing Delaware, passed the hills of Maryland, into the Teepees of Baltimore, to the realm of Sarah Lillian, in the face of "Harrywatha" saw the beauty of Sarah Lillian, to the realm of New York, long I have been waiting for you, youth is lovely, age is lonely, you bring back the days departed thus sang "Harrywatha."

Now that there is a twang in the air and General Winter's advance guard is advancing on the big city, the "regulars" are preparing places of retreat when the first bombardment of snow is turned loose.

Didn't the Browne sisters look "Haim" in their flowered dresses at Isabelle Harris party on last Friday, Leonie Burnette was there with a new sheik, Blanche Russell, was also present; everyone missed Caroline where was she? The Arista dance last Saturday was a "Whang"; of course no affair is considered smart these days unless "Embalming Fluid" is plentiful. several taxi cabs played their parts as undertaker wagons, and many aristocratic young men rode home "non compos mentes," satisfied that the Arista dance was one grand affair. Young Jacobs was seen at the Arista dance, with his teeth sharpened to a razor's edge; Jacobs hails from Brooklyn, and is considered to be the best "Backbiter" from those parts. Bessie Riley of Yonkers, truly hopes that those persons who have been so busy writing articles and singing her name would attend to their own affairs at home. Nan I., of Yonkers, better known as "Few Hairs," it seems mighty strange that you mind every one's business but your own. "The Fly Little Oscar," played his game of indoor sports at Greenfields last week; it was a scream; he bought two tires, and later found that his tire covers did not fit, so Louie offered to give him one if The Fly Little Oscar would buy one.

We don't know whether Pull-man is the family coat of arms or trade mark; however, her hubby works on the road. A certain friend on Edgecomb avenue makes about $80.00 a week the year around, but he wishes to be somebody, and he is studying dentistry at night. Better take a tip from us, old boy, we know a dentist in 129th St. who makes about $80.00 a month and sleeps in the parlor on a pallet, and nibbles Uneeda Biscuits during the day with copious draits of water.

Remember, boy, winter is coming and surely you can't sleep over in St. Nicholas Park on a newspaper. According to a certain Harlem lady, who is the wife of a certain politician, "there are no good husbands." The fair madame is only twenty-four but speaks with the wisdom of fifty. She says "that there are plenty of good men but they don't make good husbands." Methinks that there is something in that. She also says that "her husband tries his level best to drink up all the hooch in Harlem," but the bootleggers are double-crossing him, inasmuch as they are making it so fast that he can't keep FOR YOUR COMPLEXION.

About 3 a.m. one morning last week, just when the stars and moon were shutting up shop for the night, three young ladies were seen in 141st Street, evidently enjoying a game of strip poker. Apparently one of them was a heavy loser, as she soon attired a la Eve. Remember girls to pull the shades down next time as the neighbors don't with their husbands to oversleep the next morning. Page L. M. H. and C. T. We are sorry that friend Cottman was blamed for the 130th St. mess. He was not at any party and says so far as he knows that there is no one in 130th St. or any other street that would have the temerity to even invite him, as he does not attend parties of any kind. A long tall sheik from Chicago has about put Johnny Cobb in the clock, so far as the pretty Corrine is around raving about the new Sheik whom she says is long in loving as he is in bucks. The Sheik's name, by the way, is Rudolph J., but we are sure that although Johnny isn't long on loving and bucks, it won't be long before he will present Corrine with some long lingering black eyes and then she won't have the pleasure of dancing at Jerry's for a long, long time. Hey, Hey. We see that "Uncle Joe Bizzard." is burning up tre roads between Mamaroneck and Yonkers.

Palmer's PARATIONS THE PROOF OF CARDAR by Gary Shaw Shroffy (Copyright 1924 of The Pamper Writers Guild) PART 14. A low groom escaped from all lines so everyone realized the extreme hazard of the undertaking. Cardar, horribly lighting his hair in his hand, with pincer to serrate the strands, managed by dragons of the water only low then thundered from the shore! With brutal breath and eyes straining to pierce the murky current, they waited his heat reappearance. He was many yards from the boat when finally, the black hand was lifted, not only long enough to get his longer refilled. Then, once more he sank below the surface. The waiting minutes seemed to drag into hours, though still at intervals, he appeared and always forging forward. He neared the shore at last and cautiously, his body still concealed, he raised his head to look about him. There was no one in sight. About twenty feet downstream, and well up in the mud of the bank, the patrol boat lay unprotected. Plank on his belly, like the afflictors he so dragged, he crawled along in the shallow water, till he lay just below the boat. Then, always that in the mud, that no eye from the lost at St. Mary's might perceive the movements, he dragged himself up across the bank till his hand caught the offer. Body gash now, wriggling and twisting in the shores of the river bottom, but in his knee through with almost imperceptible motion, the patrol boat followed his course. A slight of relief escaped his companions on the opposite shore. He gained deep water at last, and the low leashed easily on the light waves. Still swimming under water, Cardar did not release his hold on the rope until the boat held the center of the water, then he let go.

This club which is widely known for its promotion of highest type of dances, which has presented such artists as Paul Whitman, Vincent Lopez and Paul Specht in three successive seasons, has secured another great group of syncopators for their patrons' approval on next Friday evening. Wilbur Sweatman, one of the greatest saxophone artists in the world, and his Acme Syncopators, one of the best known orchestras along Broadway, will be the special feature. Wilbur Sweatman has been heard in most every home, for his phonograph records are used wherever good jazz music is appreciated. He himself is distinguished as the only artist playing three clarinets at one time, each carrying a distinct tone. His jazz orchestra, aside from playing for Columbia Phonograph Company, has headlined over the Keith vaudeville circuit and comprises some of the most efficient colored muscians that can be obtained. This famous orchestra will alternate with John C. Smith's famous Modern Dance Orchestra, which has successfully held its own against Whitman, Lopez and Specht at the previous affairs of Bretton Hall Boys. An enjoyable evening of continuous dancing is assured the patrons of this dance. We have been informed by the committee that there will be positively no admittance without invitation.
