Jack's Memory Hazy. Colored Man and Woman Involved With the Multi-Millionaire. Chicago, Ill., Feb. 23.—The State called Jack Johnson, former world's heavyweight champion, to testify in the case of the multi-millionaire, W. E. Stokes, who, with Mrs. Hattie Johnson and Robert Lee, is charged with conspiracy to injure the name of Mrs. Helen Elwood Stokes, the wife of the well-known New York money king. February 27, 1925. JACK JOHNSON, FORMER CHAMPION ON ST Conqueror of Jim Jeffries To Conspiracy Case and I Flippant Remarks. Colored Man Involved Multi-M Chicago, Ill., Feb. 23.—The State heavyweight champion, to testify to W. E. Stokes, who, with Mrs. Hattie with conspiracy to injure the name wife of the well-known New York Johnson's statements that two of the defendants, colored, Robert Lee, of Chicago, and Mrs. Hattie Johnson, of New York, alleged former agents of Stokes, asked him to swear he knew Mrs. Stokes, were subjected to severe cross-examination. Jinned down, Johnson said he was unable to give definite dates for his alleged interviews with the couple, and admitted that his recollection of the conversations was very general. Johnson testified that both Lee and Mrs. Johnson had approached him and asked him if he had known Mrs. Stokes, whom the state charges the defendants were trying to prove had been an inmate of a notorious Chicago club and had associated with negroes. Johnson said he told both Lee and Mrs. Johnson that he did not know Mrs. Stokes, and that they offered him "good money" if he would testify that he had known her. He said he told Mrs. Johnson that he would not testify in court against a woman, even if he had known Mrs. Stokes. He had never seen Mrs. Stokes, he said in reply to a question. Lee, Johnson said, approached him in Kansas City in August, 1923. Hattie Johnson's approach he put vaguely at a boarding house in New York in the fall of 1923. He does not know Helen Stokes, he said, and told the Stokes agents as much. "I saw Lee," testified Johnson. "He asked me if I knew Mrs. Stokes, and I said 'no.' He said: 'It don't matter whether you do or not, here's a chance to make some easy money.' I told Lee I wouldn't know her if she was sitting in front of me, and I wouldn't sign an affidavit, and, besides," with a lunge forward that shook the stenographer's table at his feet, "I wouldn't sign an affidavit against any woman." Johnson and Charles F. Rathbun, defense lawyer, sparred verbally in the cross-examination until Johnson was fighting mad. Rathbun tried to show that Lee, as a collector for a Chicago furniture company, incurred Johnson's hatred by seizing furniture the witness had not paid for. "Lee did seize some furniture you had forgotten to pay for, didn't he?" Rathbun asked. "Take it. No; he stole it," Johnson said. Johnson became so insolent in his answers that Judge Gemmill admonished him. "You answer these questions without volunteering or you'll find yourself in trouble," the Judge said. CAPT. OF 19th A. D. M. B. HARRY GRIFFIN Right Hand Man of Charles W. Anderson, the Republican Leader. FORMER WORLD'S CHAMP. THE BASEBALL TEAM Jack Johnson, who held the world's heavy weight championship for several years, is one fellow who won't stay "Put." Johnson has a way of getting into the picture that passes all understanding. The big fellow, this time, is mixed up in the Stokes conspiracy case and got a lot of publicity by his attitude in the court room. Jack loves publicity and note, and eats it up at every opportunity. If Harry Wills had possessed just one tenth of Johnson's audacity, Jack Dempsey would have been forced to the issue many months ago. WIFE SLAYER GETS Pittsburgh. — Warren Scott, colored, was sentenced to serve from nine to 18 years in the Western Penitentiary on a charge of second degree murder after Judge Carpenter, in Criminal Court, abiding by a State Supreme Court decision, held that there was insufficient evidence to convict him of first degree murder in connection with the death of his wife, Frances Scott, who was found dead in her home. In a trial lasting only five minutes Scott pleaded guilty to murder. He was sentenced to be electrocuted in a previous trial and the case was appealed to the Supreme Court, which set the first degree verdict aside. BASKETBALL & DANCE ST.

The rumors that led to the run on the bank began several weeks ago and kept on growing until the run was begun. It is said that one million dollars is involved in the failure, but until the receiver makes a statement it will be impossible to get a real slant on the extent of the disaster, for that is what it amounts to. Following fast on the recent smash-up of the Standard Life Insurance Company of Atlanta, and its merger with a white company, due to the wildcat financiering of its president, Heman E. Perry, the failure of Brown and Stevens makes a situation for the race which we must meet with courage and fortitude, as these failures must in no way be allowed to impair the confidence which has developed in the race in its own financial and insurance enterprises. These are too important and necessary to the welfare of the race to be set back by any sort of failures we may have. We have to learn that failures and successes go hand in hand in business. Thousands of white concerns fail every year but does not in the least impair public confidence or weaken the financial concerns which depend upon public confidence and support. It must be so with us. Old Philadelphia who have the accumulated money are a conservative people and keep their money in white institutions where their fathers and grandfathers and great-grandfathers placed it. They have no confidence in race institutions. It is much that way with such people in New York, Baltimore, Washington and other large cities of the country. The race has millions of money locked up in that way and it is hard to unlock it, to build up the confidence that will do it. This is one of the discouraging aspects of the failure of Brown and Stevens. They are Philadelphia, they belong to old Philadelphia families, and the growth of their business was due largely to this fact. The people had faith in them because they were old Philadelphia. It has been our experience that it is just as easy, just as possible, for an old Philadelphia to fall down flat upon his face in a business and other way as it is for a new Philadelphia to do so. And what is true of Philadelphia is true of others. If you deviate from the straight and narrow way in business, or other matters, you are liable to have troubles more or less serious. It was that way with Heman Perry and with Brown and Stevens. And it will be that way with you if you do not keep in the middle of the road. Mr. Brown is one of our best known financiers. He has been in business for quite a number of years. He knows all of the tricks of the trade. It was expected that he was too wise in the business to get tangled in the mazes of speculation. This he began to do several years ago by promoting hotel and theatre development in Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York and Brooklyn. He went as a plunger into this sort of business and he had a time of it squeezing out of the tight places he got into. He says his bank will pay dollar for dollar, and perhaps it will, but it will take time, and it will take yet longer before the lost confidence of the depositors in race banking will be restored in Philadelphia. It should not be so, perhaps, but it is, that more is expected of our business men than of those of other race groups. The obligation is upon them, therefore they must watch their steps and guard more zealously than others the confidence reposed in them. THE TROUBLE AT FISK UNIVERSITY DIFFERENCE has arisen at Fisk University, at Nashville, between the President and his white assistants and the student body which has led to several student demonstrations and to the arrest of several students by police on complaint of President McKenzie.

The trouble at Fisk is the same at bottom in all of our schools of higher learning that have white presidents and a mixed faculty. Southern public opinion requires certain conduct on the part of such instructors which places a barrier, more or less pronounced, between the president and the student body. It is largely a matter of social relations, and in a university or small community it can provoke much bad blood and strife, if carried far enough. We have the same condition of friction and discontent at Lincoln, Howard and Atlanta universities. The students feel that they should have presidents and professors of their own, and we do not think they will ever be satisfied until they have them. It is the same in the United States army; we shall never be satisfied until we have our own officers. The disposition is a very natural and common one. People who are expected to follow and obey want to be in a position to command and be obeyed when it comes their turn, and their turn comes when a vacancy occurs. If color and not fitness is made the bar they resent it, and they are justified in doing so. It will take time, but all of the perplexing phases of the race problem will be settled and in our favor in the long run. It is up to us to keep on a-coming. By A. A. JACKSON. Jr. It has been truly said that the prizes of life go to those men who do the right things at the right time without being told, and furthermore, that fully nine-tenths of the great deeds born in men's minds have died of the disease known as irresolution before the world even knew they had been christened. Man, builder of the Tower of Babel and architect-lord of Egypt, its pyramids, temples, the sphinxes, maker of Grecian's marbles and Rome's indestructible city, it is perfectly true that reading some good work, listening to a lecture or talking to some one who stimulates us will often stir up a determination to do something worth while tomorrow. And then tomorrow comes. The determination is a little weaker, perhaps you think of your color as a New York Tuherc "The Harlem Tuberculosis Committee of the New York Tuberculosis Association is the kind of organization for which I have been looking. It is an organization that is doing a good deal and talking very little," said George W. Harris, editor of the New York News, Friday night, in an address before the annual meeting of the Tuberculosis Committee held at the West 135th Street Branch of the Public Library. "If I had known, when I was alderman, as much as I know now about the excellent work that this committee is doing, and the comprehensive way in which it is accomplishing its purpose, I most certainly would have tried to raise some money for it in order to help it further to educate the community." Mr. Harris also commented upon the fact that it was gratifying to him to learn that Dr. H. O. Harding, chairman of the Harlem Tuberculosis Committee, is also a member of the board of directors of the New York Tuberculosis Association. He felt that this was a decided step toward a bigger understanding and closer relationship. Mr. Harris also pointed out that to his knowledge there was no other association that worked in closer cooperation with the physicians and dentists of the community than the Harlem Committee. He particularly called attention to the thirteen Harlem dentists who are giving so generously of their services to the Committee's dental clinic. In the absence of Mrs. Mabel Doyle Keaton, Executive Secretary of handicap and the good deed is put off. Finally it dies from much postponement and we drift in the same old way until something else causes a fresh stimulation. Do you want the good things of life? Then do the thing that you feel to be right and do it NOW. Take yourself by the car or ask someone to give you a good kick the next time that you find yourself drifting, and make yourself do what you should. No matter whether you are tired, sleepy or rushed, or there is a wedding in the family--just do it NOW. There is no greater lesson than that of thrift. And thrift of time is one of its most important parts. Decide today to begin to do one thing that you are tempted to put off until tomorrow. the Harlem Tuberculosis Committee, who was away on account of illness, the assistant secretary, Miss J. Ida Roberts, present, the annual report From it, it appeared that during 1924 there were 516 visits paid to the home and 291 visits to physicians in regard to patients; 1461 persons came for information to the office; 2344 letters answering health inquiries were written; 894 telephone interviews on health were given; 195 persons were referred to clinics, hospitals or family physicians; 47 were referred to social agencies; 409 cases were registered at the dental clinic; 154 physical examinations for adults and children were arranged; health lectures were arranged in churches, clubs, etc.; 185 undernourished children were sent away to the country last summer.

HERBEN Of the New York Tuberculosis Association WHAT NOT TO DO FOR ABDOMINAL PAIN In the last article I spoke of the thing not to be done for a patient who has had a sudden attack of sharp pain in the abdomen. Cathartics are especially dangerous when there is severe abdominal pain. As I pointed out, the cathartic, by stimulating the muscle walls to contract will put unnecessary strain upon a weak section and the result may be a rupture with the resultant emptying of pus and other products into the peritoneal cavity. (The peritoneal cavity is the area which contains the abdominal organs.) Peritonitis, or inflammation of the peritoneal membrane, is a serious thing at all times. It is not only peritonitis which is to be feared either. In the case of some acute abdominal condition, there is the possibility that drastic cathartic action of salts or castor oil may cause some injured blood vessel to give way and this means, as a rule, hemorrhage. Hemorrhage or bleeding may be slight; it may be profuse. If it be slight and continue for a period of hours unheeded, the result may be quite as bad as though it were sudden and profuse. A sudden hemorrhage, however, if of any great amount, will produce symptoms of shock which will lead to an immediate call for help. In "gastric ulcers," or ulcers of the stomach, rupture is not uncommon and hemorrhage is more frequently found in those cases than it is in ruptured appendiceal abscess. The menace of hemorrhage is that the patient's brain and other vital portions of the body may be so depleted of blood supply that life is sustained with great difficulty. Add to this the necessity for operation (and operation is necessary in case of a rupture of an abscess or ulcer) and you can imagine the risk involved. Therefore, it is well to warn my readers that in case of sudden and severe abdominal pain, a physician should assume the responsibility for giving or withholding a cathartic. Send for him and let him consider all the conditions before dosing with castor oil or Epsom salts, etc. The chances are that if there be any question the physician himself will avoid the use of cathartics taken by mouth. It is far wiser to call the doctor and learn that there is no serious trouble than to take these cases into your own hands and by MISTREATING them allow the elapse of those hours which spell the difference between life and death. In acute appendicitis, or in ruptured abscess or ulcer, time IS life in many cases. HARTFORD, CONN. The Fashion Review at New Haven, under the direction of Mrs. C. W.

APPEAL TO COOLIDGE Resolutions Sent From Douglass Lincoln Armiversaries Meetings Asking President in Name of These Givers of Freedom to End Race Segregation by Federal Government Boston, Mass., Feb. 14, 1925. -From Lincoln Day public meetings in several cities in Massachusetts, home state of President Coolidge and of Republican Chairman Butler, held to commemorate the birth anniversaries of Abraham Lincoln, the Emancipator, and of Frederick Douglas, the noted Colored Abolitionist and worker for freedom, by branches of the National Equal Rights League, resolutions were sent to the President, and copies to the G. O. P. Chairman, asking that in the name of these saviors of the Union and givers of freedom federal segregation be promptly abolished. The same occurred in other states. The most notable of these meetings in Massachusetts were those in New Bedford, home city of Chairman William M. Butler, of the National Republican Committee, and in Boston, where the President served as Governor. Dr. William A. Sinclair of Philadelphia was the Douglass orator at the Boston meeting, where he urged such meetings for historic Colored Americans since the public school histories omitted mention of them. He instanced omission of Peter Salem of the Battle of Bunker Hill and especially Crispus Attucks, first American martyr, whose death he urged the race to commemorate March 5 of every year. Rev. D. S. Klugh, pastor of the People's Baptist Church, where the meeting was held, presided. Rev. C. C. Somerville extolled Lincoln in a masterly oration and William Monroe Trotter read the resolutions which were adopted and closed as follows: "Especially do we appeal, in the name of Douglass and Lincoln, to President Calvin Coolidge of Massachusetts, refuge state of Douglass, state of equality of rights, to restore to the race of Douglass in the national government he helped to save under Lincoln and for which this race has ever fought and died, the freedom and civil equality enjoyed under the Republicanism of Lincoln. --- February 27, 1925. Grant and Roosevelt, and even under the Democracy of Cleveland," until the sons of those who sought to disrupt the Union and perpetual slavery gained control and in revenge introduced into the federal executive departments at the federal capitol race and color segregation, which degradation and humiliation we of Massachusetts ask the Republican President from our state, the state of Sumner and Douglass, to promptly abolish." It was announced that the national body urges the race by old or new branch leagues, equal rights committees or otherwise, to observe the anniversary of the death of Crispus Attucks, first American martyr, on March 5, the day after inauguration, as Citizenship Foundation Day, and send anti-segregation resolutions to President Coolidge.

Miller has some interesting ideas of his own as to managing pugs, and his successful handling of the "Tiger" is pretty fair proof as to their value. PETER H. BURGESS One of the fighters in this Southern gentleman's stable is a Bob Lawson, who has scored eight straight victories to date. Lawson boxed at the Commonwealth several weeks ago and made a favorable impression, stopping his opponent in a few rounds. Lawson really looked good to us that night, fighting a cool, methodical battle. He is a light heavyweight, well proportioned and powerfully built. He handles himself well, is fast on his feet and carries a kick in either fist. It was not so much his stopping the white boy against whom he was matched, but the way he went about the task. He impressed me as being a very good boxer, much better than his stablemate, Flowers, who depends on a bewildering attack. But Lawson is more methodical, more of the boxer, yet with the rugged fighting force of the fighter. I believe that he can mix it as well as box and will give a good account of himself at either style. Lawson's methods will carry him further than the style employed by Flowers, providing he possesses the class. The "Tiger" will eventually lose his speed for after all he is human. THIS LEE IS WHITE A number of colored fight bugs were under the impression that George (Kid) Lee, who boxed at the Pioneer on Wednesday night in the lightweight elimination contests, was a colored boy, the mistage being due to the fact that there is a colored boy from New England by the name of Walter Lee. Walter is a trifle heavy for this division, tipping the scales at 138 pounds, which happens to be three pounds over the lightweight limit. However, he can fight, for which Sandy Taylor will vouch.

Read The INTER-STATE TATTLER Blue and Garnet Players Having Defeated the Local Quintets, Now Seek Eastern Title The crack girl's basketball machine sporting the colors of the Tattler Girls Athletic and Social Club, having defeated every local basketball team of real strength, have claimed the New York State Championship, and are now eager to meet the best aggregations that represent Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Washington, D. C. So far, the Tattler Girls have not a single defeat up against them, and have easily triumphed over the best of the local fives. Even the highly touted Tuxedos of New Jersey, fell easy victims to the powerful Tattler Blue and Garnet machine. But the phenominal success of the Tattler quintette has made it difficult for the team to get booking, even the defeated clubs refusing to face them a second time. The Gibralta Quintette, whom the Tattler Big Five defeated in a spirited game seem to be in no great hurry for a return battle on the courts. As for the others, well once was enough and no return game was desired. A side from that, few of the clubs who have successfully avoided the issue, seem anxious for a date. The local Y. W. has been promising a date, but never anything definite. Mr. Cobb, manager of the Mysterious Five, state champions of New Jersey, while not over anxious to play the crack New York five, imposes conditions that are almost prohibitive. He wants two ten minute halves and his own referee, who happens to be related to one of the players on the Mysterious Five. Tonight, (Thursday) the Tattler Girls swing into action against the speedy Little Helena Circle Five, at St. Mark's Hall, in West 138th St. The first game will bring together the Majestics and Buffaloes and a thrilling game is certain between these two fast quintettes.

GUS MOORE VICTOR IN THE MILE RACE Seventeen-year-old Colored Lad Romps to Brilliant Victory Gus Moore, the seventeen year old speed mravel of Boy's High School, Brooklyn, romped through a field of some twenty six crack school boy milers at the Fifteenth Annual Track Meet of Dickinson, last Monday evening, winning the feature event, the John J. Hopkins Memorial Mile in the splendid time of 4 minutes and 44 seconds on a twelve lap track. In winning this race, Moore defeated the New Jersey State mile champion, Ted Atkinson, who was the winner of the race last year. This was Moore's second victory within seventy-wto hours and his time for the twelve lap track was most creditable. The colored youngster took it easy in the early stages of the race, but came with a terrific spurt at the finish that left his compettiors far in the rear, with the exception of Atkinson and J. Kennedy who finished second and third respectively. Had Moore elected to have run the race at the start, he no doubt would have hung up new figures for the distance that would have stood for many years, despite the fact that the race was over a twelve lap trick Moore is still a youngster and will come neat to establishing new figures for most of the races ranging between one and ten miles, when he grows older. 2nd WEEK BEGINNING THE SEASONS BIGGEST Presented By The La The Harle FEAT ABBIE MITCHELL, BILLIE DEMONS, FLORENCE M THE SOUTHERN FO DANCING B Music by J.

Colored Star Leads All The Way Canada's great colored walker, Phil Granville came into his own last Tuesday evening when he outsmarted and outgamed Italy's great walking champion, Ugo Frigerio in the mile and a half walk at the indoor athletic games of the Cathedral Fund, staged at Madison Square Garden. Granville, formerly the national long distance walking champion, got off in the lead and was never headed. He was on scratch with Italy's great champion, allowing liberal handicaps to a crack field of walkers. But the Canadian and the visitor from over seas, as well as the athletic enthusiasts, that the race would almost to a certainty, be won be either of the wto inter-nationally famous champions. The trim slender built athlete from the other side of the big pond and the big six footer from across the border put up a thrilling battle that was decided by the colored boy's superior generalship and his ability to meet each effort of the Italian to pass him. Frigerio tried and tried desperately to take the Granville stubbornly refused to give way. The last lap showed Granville at his best. He walked fairly every step of the way and drew away slightly from the Italian, who wilted in the last fifty yards. Gran- --- Telephone: Morningside 1 8 1 1 MONDAY, MARCH 2nd T AND BEST PRODUCTION.

The, Club's | purpose is raudanie, and its object “wholly com-_ mendable. Syracuse has not a tew play centers for white children, but until the present time it has paid but little attention to the welfare needs of its 3,000 colored citizens. Where they have been given the opportunity they have demonstrated their inter- est in those essentmls tending toward race betterment. This is a factor that speaks well for the success of the Commonweal Club's venture. The ocal project will be under the direc- tion of Ernest T.

C. A. Wednesday evening, Miss Crystal Bird, National Y. W. C. A. worker, of New York. An exquisite bouquet of pink and white roses made a very pleasing centerpiece, while a similar color scheme was effected in the dainty favors and place cards. Pink lighted tapers added their charm to the beautiful decorations. A three-course dinner with musical numbers between the courses was enjoyed by all. The Club was then called to order by the president, Miss May White, by singing "Follow the Gleam." The members of the Club and also many of the visitors responded to the roll call with quotations from "Dunbar," after which interesting reports were given by Miss Sarah Fortune, chairman of the Membership Committee; Miss May Howard, chairman of the Social Committee, and Miss Thelma Austin, chairman of the Program Committee. Miss Moore, Girls' Work Secretary, presented Miss Crystal Bird, to the members and visitors of the Club. Miss Bird gave a very inspiring talk, especially emphasizing "Relationships," that is, the relation of one girl to another, whether she be rich or poor, or from what part of the country she may have come. After the speech the Dunbar Girls responded with their club yell. Miss Bird also taught the girls a number of interesting club songs to sing at their meetings, including "Monette," "Old MacDonald's Farm" and "McMarrow's Band." Several of the members of the Girls' Work Committee were also present and after a few encouraging words from Mrs. Berry, Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Conrad and Mrs. Youngblood, the Club adjourned to meet Wednesday, February 25, at the Belmont Y.

The Party left the home of Miss Edith Coleman at 8:15 and picked up the rest of the party along until they reached the home of Mrs. Cochrane of Nelson Ave. Then the fun began. The party went out to the outskirts of the city, past the Yaddo, Race Track, down Union Ave., out of the Geysers and after touching a few more of Saratoga's Famous Beauty Spots started homeward. The ride was just one grand Bubble of Joy from beginning to end. A few of the members have marks of remembrance for awhile. Miss Alice Mann has the most beautiful black eye ever seen. But she has just one that makes her a regular freak of the Club. * * * Miss L. Seymour injured her pretty pair of legs when she took a high snow dive up on Broadway. Gee but she's graceful! * * * Poor Olive froze her tender toes and spent half of the evening warming them. * * * Rebecca Dennis and Lenard Cochrane seemed to keep each other Jolly and warm. We are more than sorry that Daddy Bob was not there to comfort his pretty baby Gladys Clayton. * * * Say Macot, you certain were a soft seat for the whole gang once, tell us did it hurt. * * * Percy, the Marathon Runner and his sweetie Mable ill certainly enjoyed not only the ride but the moonlight night. Edith Coleman certainly held down her end of the sleigh, but she got a perfect snow bath when she got home, although it was rather cold it saved the hot water on Saturday night for some one else. * * * Mr. Sam Bailey was very quiet most of the time but that was because a certain young lady was missing. Too bad Messrs. Wendell King and Carl Miller were late for the Sleigh Ride, you don't know what you missed. But you made up by staying in Saratoga all night and part of the next morning. We wonder what kept them? After their return the party were entertained at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Coleman and served a very tasty supper. Each one received a number of Valentines and a favor full of tiny hearts which gave each one a task to perform. * * * Mr. Yerep's was to sick Miss Sinned, but Fate intervened. * * * It took him at least one hour to say good-night to his Sheba, and his explanations was "O, you know how it is." * * * After the supper the party past the time in Tickling their toes and playing games. The party adjoined at the wee hours of the morning, feeling happy, weary and yet cherishing the memories of the past. And that's that. * * * Misses Edna Bailey and Dolores Seymour are fast becoming Basketball Stars. A girls team is soon to be organized here. * * * To my many Tatler Readers:—If in any case a statement fits you, PUT IT ON. * * * Mr. B. J. has put Saratoga behind him and he sings "Out of a million you're the only one I love," to a sweet little lass in Albany. * * * We wonder why a certain J. J. wouldn't let Miss B. G. go to the last dance? He may be the world to his sweetheart but he's a pain in the neck to most of us. * * * Mr. Frank Jordon of Congress Street is confined at home with a severe cold. * * * Thus endeth the Gossip.

We know what Roland Hardy would do if he lost his job with the Kid. he would take a seat in Charity's Barber Shop and sing "What'll I do," as he seems to be so used to the Hudson it would be hard for him to make up his mind to drive anything else, pretty soft for you though my pal, ist really mushy for you.
