The Inter-State Tattler

Rhinelander Suit Greatest Love Tragedy of Modern Times. Alice to Receive up to One Million Dollars for Wounded Feelings Inter State Tattler SPORTS THEATRICAL AND SOCIETY NEWS FEATURES MRS. KIP RHINELANDER Wife of Leonard "Kip" Rhinelander, scion of one of New York's blue bloods. Whose love letters to her husband furnished the public many thrills. While Phillip Rhinelander. the father of Kip has not been seen for three weeks, it has been disclosed that he has ordered that the bride be paid up to one million dollars, to soothe her wounded feelings and that she will not force the reading of certain mystery letters which are alleged to be very damaging to the Rhinelander family.

Informal Invitation UNABLE to reach my host of friends through formal, individual invitations, I take this method through this public medium to thus informally invite all of you and the entire public who have made possible the establishment of this splendid community and racial institution to be present at the dedication and consecration of my funeral church, 2332 Seventh Avenue, on Monday, November 30, 1925, at 1:30 p.m., and also to take part in the celebration of this notable occasion at 8 p.m. Page 2 In the development of the annulment suit of Leonard Kip Rhinelander, white, wealthy and highly educated aristocrat and his colored wife, two "mystery" love letters figure that may settle for the time being at least the claim by members of the Ku Klux Klan an other bodies of white people that "the white race is superior to all others". The additional claim by white Southern Crackers that "the Negro race has no rights which a white man is bound to respect." Day by day as the case goes from the semblance of decency to that of total indecency and vulgarity, it unfolds all the love-emotions to which human beings may become subjected. Two things stand out above the startling revelations of the testimony elicited from Rhinelander by counsel for his wife Lee Parson-Davis—Rhinelander's abject misery and Davis' brilliant legal mind. Most remarkable has been the fact that since the trial started ten days ago, there has been only three objections by Rhinelander's counsel, to the cross examination of Mr. Davis, and of those three once has the objection been sustained. The contents of the letters already mentioned will undoubtedly have an important bearing on the final outcome of the trial, now being regarded as the most sensational in the history of American jurisprudence. Speculation mounts high as to the letters being made public, but the significance of the questions asked by counsel for Mrs. Rhinelander cannot be ignored by intelligent readers. For the benefit of the out of town TATTLER readers who perhaps were unable to follow the trial we quote the following from a local paper: Rhinelander's Cross Examination Leonard Kip Rhinelander, when his cross-examination by Attorney Davis was resumed yesterday, admitted continuance of relations with his wife, Alice, after he first suspected she was colored—the defense thus scoring one of the most important items of evidence so far. Kip made this confession with great reluctance, but it hurt even more when he was asked to recall requesting Alice to wear long sleeves and powder her nose. Questioned as to his school days in Arizona after he had left Alice, he admitted having beeen one of the editors of the school paper, standing first in his class and being a member of the tennis team. One of Kip's school poems was quoted for the edification of the judge and jury. His testimony follows: Q.—Mr. Rhinelander, you claim that Alice made representations to you that she was white on four or five occasions. A.—Yes. Q.—Are you the owner of a camera. A.—I was, yes. Q.—What size picture did it take? A.—I don't remember. Q.—You took that camera to the Marie Antoinette Hotel, did you not? A.—I had a camera there, yes. Q.—And you got Alice to pose for a picture in a room where you were living with her as your wife? A.—Yes. Q.—You took the camera to the hotel for that purpose? A.—No, I did not. Q.—How did you happen to have the camera in your luggage? A.—I don't remember that. Q.—Well, you knew that you were going to the Marie Antoinette, that was a planned affair, wasn't it? A.—Yes. Q.—And you packed your bag to go to the Marie Antoinette in January, with the idea that Alice would be with you? A.—I believe so. Q.—I asked you a few minutes ago if you took a camera to the Marie Antoinette and you said that you did. Now, did you? A.—As I remember now, I did not. I think it, was Alice's. Q.—Is that the picture that you posed THE INTER-STATE TATTLER ED AND MIXED MARRIED MINELANDER CASE BY A ked Into A“Cocked Hat”As We Are Bared Under Merciless ns Davis—Family's Millions sh Up” Disgraceful Annuln Degeneracy Hinted At. (showing picture to witness)? A.—It is, yes. Mr. Davis: "I offer it in evidence." Q.—And then you got Alice to take a picture of you, didn't you. A.—Yes, sir. Q.—Showed her how to work a time exposure in the room, didn't you? A.—Yes, I think I did. Q.—And that is the product of your request (showing picture to witness)? A.—Yes. Mr. Davis: I offer it in evidence. Q.—Why did you want a picture of Alice in. her night dress, lying on a bed, a girl you did not love? A.—I don't know. Q.—Was it so that you could carry it around with you and excite your passion? A.—No. Q.—You just desired her picture? A.--Yes. Q.—Why, you had lots of opportunities to take her picture out in God's free air, didn't you? A.—There was not any mention of it then. Did not have a camera available. Q.—Well, it is a good picture of you when you were courting Alice sometime before the marriage? A.—Yes. Q.—Will you look at that and tell us whether or not you were wearing a moustache at that time? A.—I cannot tell there. Q.—I show you this picture and ask you if that is a good photograph of you. A.—It is. Q.—Who took it? A.—I believe Alice. Q.—And you had it enlarged? A.—Yes. Q.—When was it taken? A.—I don't remember. Q.—Is that your handwriting on there? A.—Yes. Q.—Well, look at it and see if you can't tell us about when it was taken. A.—That was when it was sent. I don't remember when it was taken. Q.—Well, you sent it when? A.—Feb- --- Mr. Davis (addressing the jury) "Look at it gentlemen. It says on here "much love' 'Dear Alice' 'from Leonard', Feb. 11, 1922. That is the way it was on that date. Have you any pictures of Alice in the court room? Mr. Mills hand several pictures to Mr. Davis. Q.—Did you take that picture of Alice? A.—I did not. Q.—That was sent to you, I presume? A.—Yes. Mr. Davis: I offer it in evidence. On the back of it is, "Dearest, I look as though something was in my way. I need glasses. Love." Q.—That is a good picture of Alice? A.—No. Q.—Except for the squint? A.—Yes. Mr. Davis: "Let the jury see it, please." Q.—Now, you had plenty of opportunity to get pictures in the day time? Q.—There wasn't any necessity of your taking a picture of Alice in a bedroom in order to get a picture of her, was there? A.—The camera was there so we made use of it. Q.—Well, now, which is your explanation? All I am after is why you took a picture of a girl in a bedroom, that you didn't love? Is it because you didn't have any other picture of her? A.—I believe so. Q.—Has it been your habit, when you haven't any other picture of a person, to get them in their night dress? A.—No. Q.—This was a little unusual, wasn't it? A.—Yes. Q.—You were quite innocent-minded about it? A.—Yes. Q.—Well, why did you want to pose in bed in pajamas? You told this jury, didn't you, that you asked Alice to take a picture of you and you showed her how to take it? A.—I don't know. Respectfully, H. ADOLPH HOWELL. ruary 11, 1922. Friday, November 27, 1925 Q.—You don't know. You can't give a single explanation for that to this jury? A.—When I took Alice, why, I believe I kissed her to take me then. Q.—You wanted her to have a picture of you in bed in pajamas? Is that it? A. —No, I didn't want her to have it. Q.—If you didn't want her to have it, why did you suggest it? A.—Well, I... Q.—You don't know. Now, wouldn't this refresh your recollection? Didn't you want Alice to have a picture of you in bed so that it would keep her firing her passion? A.—No. Q.—Didn't you want to have a picture of Alice in bed so as to keep in mind this time you had in the Marie Antoinette? A.—I did not. Q.—How many days did you spend at the Marie Antoinette, on the first occasion, in December? A.—About four days or... Q.—And you went out once? You left the Marie Antoinette once? A.—Yes. Q.—And you locked Alice in the room, didn't you—took the key with you? A.— No, I did not. Q.—Well, on that occasion when you left Alice in this bedroom, you went to your home at No. 12 W. 48th St? A.—Yes. Q.—To eat dinner with your family? A.—Yes. Q.—And after eating Christmas dinner with your family you went back to Alice? A.—Yes. Q.—Well you went to Christmas dinner with your family and then you returned to the hotel room? A.—Yes. Q.—And then you continued this relationship, did you? A.—Yes. Q.—Did you dress every morning? A.—No, I did not. Q.—And all you saw of Alice was her arms in four or five days and nights? A.—Yes. Q.—So you saw, as a matter of fact, most of her body at the Marie Antoinette on the first occasion, didn't you? A.—I saw some of it. Q.—Well, let us jump for a moment to the second occasion, January. Did you see all of her body on that trip? A.—Yes. Q.—So you had the lights lit while you were *** pastime? Withdrawn. It was a pastime, was it not, at that time? A.—No, it wasn't to me. Q.—Well, under the electric light you could see her entire body clearly? A.—Yes. Q.—And you saw its color? A.—Yes. Q.—You bathed her? A.—Yes.

EVENING JOURNAL’S STORY OF ELAINE DOUGLAS’S SHOOTING, FALSE Denies That Police Officer Was Shot As Stated In The Hearst Pub- lication As The Policeman Did Not Arrive Until After He Had Disarmed The Girl, Gun Was Not Discharged. : Expects Full Vindication Professional circles and Harlem’s medical world was turned into an uproar last week when daily newspapers came out with a story, in glaring headlines, describing in detail the alleged conduct of one.of our leading physicians and his relations with a young woman. Upon investigation by a TATTLER reporter, it was found that the daily newspaper story was decidedly contrary to the true state ‘of affairs as given by the physician concerned and, that he was being made the victim of a woman patient’s emotional outbreak, while under the influence of a drug, which probably had been administered by another, The report as published by the Journal was as follows: “Elaine Douglas, twenty-five, No. 666 St. Nicholas Avenue, is being held in $3,000 bail today on a charge of shooting Patrolman Henry Seward, of thé West one hundred and Thirty-fifth street station. The bullet was meant for Dr. Perry W. Cheney, of No. 574 St. Nicholas avenue. The policeman saved Dr. Cheney’s life by twisting the girl’s arm, just as the gun went off. The deflected slug plowed a furrow neross the rescner’s own choylder. Friday, November 27, 1925 - “The shooting occured in Dr. Che- ney’s office. Miss Douglas, who is soon to become a mother appeared there and demanded that the physician marry her, according to police information. Dr. Cheney refused, whereupon the girl drew a 38 calibre automatic pistol from her pocket and aimed it at him. The physician made a leap for the girl and knocked the weapon out of her hand. The gun fell to the ground and ex- plodea. “The bullet buried itself in the wall. The report was heard by Officer Sew- ard, and he hurried into the office. He found Dr. Cheney and Miss Douglas struggling for possession of the gun. Seward picked up the gun and _ at- tempted to separate the couple. In do- ing so, the gun was knocked from his hand. Miss Douglas, it is alleged, seiz- ed it and again pointed it at Dr. Che- ney. Patrolman Seward made a_ hasty grab for the gun, caught the girl’s arm and spoiled her aim a second before the second shot was fired. “Miss Douglas was horrified when she found she had shot the policeman and ceased fighting. Patrolman Sew- ard immediately placed her under ar- rest. Dr. Cheney dressed the police- man’s wound, which was found to be not serious. The trio then went to Washington Heights Court where Miss Douglas was arranged on charges of felonious assault and violation of the Sullivan law, She was held in $3,000 on the former and an additional $1,000 on the gun charge.” According to Dr. Cheney, who is one of Harlem’s leading medicos, Miss Douglas, “has been annoying him for sometime.” She came into my office on the night in question” he said “and stated that she was in a delicate state. She wanted to know what I intended doing about the matter. I told her that I did not know how to perform an il- legal operation. She became angry and left the office. Later Miss Douglas called at my residence and pointed an automatic gun, making an attempt to shoot. I grabbed the arm holding the gun. By this time the tenants were aroused and the landlady arrived with an officer.” “Miss Douglas was then placed under ge THE INTER-STATE TATTLER arrest. The statement that the officer was shot is. untrue. No shots were fired. It is my belief that Miss Douglas was under the influence of some opiate, at the time she created the disturbance. All of the fact in the case will be brought out at the trial, which will be held in the Washington Heights Court.” Friends of Dr. Cheney are looking forward to his complete vindication. BIG FOLKS ANN LAWRENCE, — Contributor Just how big are you? Oh! Friends, none of us are but so big after all. We are her- alded sometimes as “Big Fellows” by a certain set of small “minded individuals, who gage our “Bigness” by the roar of artificial voices, but who can tell how big a man is better than himself? None of us are stronger than our weakest point, or Bigger than our smallest capability. Have- n’t you ever felt that you were being over- rated in a way of public praise? If not, friend, you will never be big. Truely big; false imitation blows us up like a balloon and it soon exceeds its endurance, bursts and we are like the withered skin only a show and little after all. Who are the Big Folks? Well it is not the things that other folks know or tell about us that makes us “Big” or “Little” it is the things we know ourselves. Often we envy folks their ap- praisement because of the worlds ap- plause, but if we could examine the con- science of the same person, could know what they know about themselves, we would perhaps be satisfied to be not so Big. Ones Friends say to us what we want but, our size is gaged by our own knowl- bigger than the smallest act we are capa- to hear; of us— what they really think, edge of our characteristics and none can be ble of doing. .

Held in honor of the three successful contestants in the Greater New York popularity contest, which was sponsored by the Negro Youth Movement, it eclipsed in scope and presentation, anything attempted along the same lines within recent years. The three fortunate young ladies who received the plaudits of the happy throng were, Miss Alice Davis, winner with 8,300,000 votes; Miss Gertrude Wil- liams, 226 West 138th St. with approximately 2,210,900 votes and Mrs. Geraldine Dismond, close to 500,000 votes. Miss Ethel Moses, who was designated by this publication as “Miss TATTLER” finished fourth with nearly 400,000 votes; Miss Dolores Coles was fifth with 150,000 votes; Elfreda Clarke, sixth with 100,000 votes, Ethel Bennet, seventh, 75,000 votes. The remainder of the contestants nalled lece than TNN ANN vwatec Page 4 ceived the titles of “Miss Lincoln” and “Miss Howard” respectively, while Mrs. Dismond became the Alternate, These three young ladies will be escorted by the Local Committee of the Negro Youth Movement, to Philadelphia for the annual grid classic between Lincoln University and Howard University. At the breakfast prom, which will be held Thanksgiving morning, New York’s re- presentatives will compete with winners from other cities for the grand title of the “Queen of the Classic”. This affair will be held at the Palais Royal (formerly the Olympia Theatre). The winning contestants and their friends will leave in a specially provided pull- man, Wednesday evening at 7 o’clock. The contest which was one of the most successful journalistic efforts was conducted under the auspices of the N. Y. News and the Negro Youth Move- ment. Wilfred R. Bain, city editor for The TATTLER was also Contest Edit- or for the N. Y. News. It was his third successful contest in a period of seven years. The judges who counted the votes were as follows: Former Assem- blyman John Clifford Hawkins, chair- man; Prof, William Ferris, editor of The Spokesman, A. A.* Jackson, Jr., editor of The TATTLER, George H. Fleming, former Vice President of The Association of Trade and Commerce, and C, A. Williams. Assistant checkers were: Walter Beckles, Wilfred Wood- ruff, J. C. Reid, and Skeeter Gorham. While it might be premature to say so, present indications are that the crown of victory will rest upon the ef- forts of all Colored New York in choos- ing the first “Queen of the Classic’, since with 3,300,000 votes it is hardly possible that any other city can or will top that splendid record. The presenta- tion speech and prizes were delivered by Associate Republican Leader Geor- ge W. Harris. John C. Smith and his Vocalizing Dance Orchestra furnished the music in the true Smith style, and merited much applause. . nm George McClemon and Dorothy Hop- kins were married in Toledo, Ohio on October 30th, 1925.

Smith was at his best in sending forth soul music that one found it impossible to keep quiet and not dance. The exceptionally good looking committee were greatly ap- plauded when they appeared with their blooming bloomers. Much credit is due Mrs. Ida Oston and Mrs. Elise Harbor who designed and made the most beau- tiful hats worn by the committee. We would dare leave out the charming lit- tle chairman Mrs. Iola Lawson whose arrangement of everything could not be excelled and who was justly ap- plauded when she tipped down the hall between the two floor managers, Mr. Wm. Logan’ and Mr. Wilfred Butler. The president of the Women’s Auxi- liary, Mrs. Francis Butler, also deserves much credit in her selection and we know she was proud because she strut- ted like a peacock. The blooming bloomers were made by Mrs. Hazel Baker. Messrs. Jimmy Harris and Arturo Sofo of Greenwich Village gave a sur- prise party at Mme, A’Lelia Walker’s apartment on the evening of Friday, November 20th in honor of Mrs. Helen Thorne of Chicago.

A.—Yes. Q.—No suspicion crept into your mind then? A.—No. Q.—You knew how to go about this relationship, did you not, when you went to the Marie Antoinette on the first occasion? A.—I did not, no. Q.—You didn't know how to start? Is that it? A.—I believe human instinct. Q.—You did nothing that was *** did you? A.—No. Q.—You went through *** with this girl in the Antoinette in December and January? And you mean that answer? A.—Yes. Q.—And there is nothing will change it? A.—No. Q.—I hand you a letter and envelope and ask you if it is in your handwriting? A.—It is. Q.—Would you mind reading that letter through? (The witness looks at the letter for identification.) Intimate Letter The inference is that the letter is of such an intimate nature that young Rhinelander would prefer marriage to a colored woman with separation rather than to have the contents of the missive made public. It undoubtedly hinges on the letter introduced for identifcation, but not for admission, in evidence several days ago when, after letting Kip read it as he did the one yesterday, Mr. Davis asked: "Mr. Rhinelander, do you still want to continue this law suit?" Kip had swallowed hard, reddened and whispered "Yes" to that. In questioning him about his premarital relationship with his wife, Attoney Davis had brought up the question of the nature of his love for Alice Jones. "There was nothing *** unnatural about your love?" he asked. "No." "You understand my question?" "Yes." "And you mean your answer?" "Yes." "Nothing could change it?" "No." Produces Letter Davis turned quickly to his files and produced a letter. "Did you write this letter?" Kip studied the many sheeted missive and twisted in his chair. "Yes." Davis turned to the court: "May I ask for a 5 or 10-minute recess?" "May I ask for a 5 or 10-minute recess?" On the return to the courtroom, Justice Morschauser immediately adjourned the proceedings after cautioning the jury again not to read newspaper articles concerning the case. Then Kip was whisked away and Alice Jones Rhinelander and her white mother hurried from the room, down through the curious throngs that crowded the corridors of the courthouse, across the street and into their pretentious automobile.

I No. 40—Friday Nov. 27, 1925 THE RHINELANDER CASE COUPLE of years ago € hardly anyone knew Alice Jones Rhinelander . Prob- ably very few of her asso- ciates knew that she had colored blood in her veins, and little did she realizé that she would be the outstanding figure in one of the greatest cases of its kind in his- tory. At present nearly every- body knows all about: Alice and all the intimate details of her life with her husband. There is ho reason why such a case should not have been heard within the privacy of the judge’s chambers. Testimony highly sen- -Sational was heralded by the press to whet the appetites of the mor- bid inclined. The papers, how- ever, were justified owing to the fact that the trial was public. The issues in the case were of law and fact, whether she committed a fraud in hiding her true racial connection or not. The Judge could have stated the law a jury can not. The issues of fact were clear and definable. The terrible mental toll that Rhinelander and his wife have undergone no one will ever know. It is the opinion-of many that _ the case will help soften the pub- lic’s view on inter-marriage es- pecially when it was admitted that Kip’s mentality was improv- ed by his association with his colored bride; this, itself, will help to break down some of the vicious propaganda that a person of mixed blood always inherits the very worst of the two races. Al- tho Mrs. Rhinelander is semi-il- literate, she possessed cleverness to win the scion of one of New York’s wealthiest families and made him love her, something that women of his own class could not do. She’s due credit for that. THE FINAL — RENT HEARING EW YORK’S landlords have Ny sent up a wail at the final werd rent hearing; no doubt they wa? have grievances to air. So have the Colored tenants of Har- lem, .but at these hearings they are conspicous by their absence. Harlem is a community that THE INTER-STATE TATTLER has never stayed “put,” by that, we mean that at one time it was in the hands of the Dutch, after- wards came the Germans and the Jews. The rent situation played an important part in their remov- ing to other places. With the continued depression ‘in employment, how will our ‘group be able to maintain exist- ‘ing high rents if the emergency ‘law is not extended in February? ‘We are willing to allow others to fight for us, in fact, we are always looking for some one to do some- thing for us. Show that you have ‘an interest in the community by attending the local rent meetings. HOWARD TO PREVENT PULLMAN PORTER UNION ERRY W. HOWARD, Afro- American republican leader reed from Mississippi, who is a Mee <necig]l assistant Attorney mms Special assistant Attorney General, has been designated to prevent A. Phillip Randolph from organizing the twelve thousand porters of the Pullman Company into a union. The charge has been made that Moscow and the Communists are engineering the scheme to union- ize them. Since the American Federation of Labor is considered a lawful organization and if the proposed Porter Union would be governed by the laws of the A. F. O. L., it appears that whoever engineers the unionizing of this group would be within their legal rights whether radical or conser- vative. 5 ° Twelve thousand Pullman port- ers are a unit not to be reckoned with lightly. It is surprising that the A. F. O. L. has not demanded their joining the union some time ago. ‘ Howard, formerly a Pullman porter, is. no doubt receiving orders from the Department of Labor, and his statement that the proposed union is not popular with the rank and file does not hold water. From reports eman- ating from the Union headquar- ters in Chicago, they claim that hundreds of men are joining daily. The fact that Randolph who-con- siders himself the only intelligent race editor, and that he edits a Socialist magazine, should not prevent porters from joining the union should they elect.

We wonder what makes him lie like that, he should know that from his appearance that the man could see that the only thing that he could be Mgr. of and get away with that rig he had on would be a rag shop, and that Bowling center sure don’t look like any.

C., the greatest woman orator before the American people, gave one of the most interesting speeches, that has ever been heard by one of our race in this city, on Sunday afternoon at the Bethany Baptist Church. She spoke on the selfish material things of life, and the great work that has been,accomplished by the Lincoln Institute on Washington Heights.

Too many have bread and butter men. 2. We want a ten-cent fare to London so that Jerry Preston and a few others can keep up with the English fashions. 3. We want the ofays that attend our clubs to learn to dance instead of jumping around like a lot of Jacks. 4. We want all Harlemites to be equipped with machine guns. Too many shebas are being bitten in the back. 5. We want a stop put to house rent parties. Too many lodgers are kept awake. We wonder why "Rabbi" Brown doesn't cut off that beard, for when he gets thru with his luncheon you can comb out enough to feed six people. Dutch and the little Edmond's girl of the Imperial Barber Shop are hitting it up most much -watch for the wedding bells. A certain girl thought that Sobrian was a doctor because he wears pince-nez glasses. He is an "I" man when he is not selling flowers. Renee Harris that "Fussy little lady" of Club Alabam, hasn't learned the art of holding a man yet. C. P. better use his head before it's too late and go back to "Louise" while she's "yearning for him." Pretty little Lila Pendleton's telephone number is written all over a certain sheik's desk on 137th St. Looks like you're the "hot-mamma" of Audubon 2613. That "Hard-to-vamp" man says he's thru with deceitful women. Guess he'll be a prosperous star at the next Faggots Ball, and 138th St. seems to be the cause of it all. We see that Caroline Sparrow and "Billie" Beyton are ducking summons. Dame rumor claims that Grace Giles has entered the holy state of matrimony and has resided in that state for one month page the Dextra chorus. Wedding bells for Mildred Lambert on last Sunday. That accounts for her staying away from business on Friday morning. She was out buying pretty Smockobockers and everything. They Dine So Differently THE INTER-STATE TATTLER FLESH & THE DEVIL SAY NOTHING RAL MONKEYS The Three Must Get Theirs, of which Billie Cain is the queen, Aida Ward and Mercia Marquez had a bang up time at Basha Inn. They had plenty of juice and the bunch would like to know why Billie left to go to the hot dog party next door? Pauline Webster, please tell us about the new Chandler car that you have been driving from White Plains. "Too bad." Flo, why did you have to bawl out the "Big butter and egg man" from White Plains? Page Ray S. Just as we thought. Grace and Eddie Rector are crazy about one another and the jealous plays of these two have been a lot of "hootchpap." The two of them were out Cabareting and as usual Grace, "Madame Sherry," was drinking her juice. Eddie escorted her to Jimmy Marshall's where he put her safely to bed; he became weary from rocking her to sleep and dozed off, which was "too bad." In the meanwhile, Eddie did the hero act by escorting Grace to a place of safety. Luck ole dears. Cornell Vigal, why don't you come home and attend to the little one since Johnny is drawing down the big B. R. at the Cotton Club? Fred Celestine, why do you waste your time at Basha's? There are better opportunities for you elsewhere. Are the "Red Hot Mamas" keeping you there? The gossips claim that Pauline and the gang passed Al Mosby up Friday night at Smalls'. What do you mean girls? Don't you know that Al is a "Butter and egg man?" Eddie Hunter, what has happened to you and the Chicago Queen? "Love will find a way back home." "Yes sir, she's my baby now." The Queen of the "Must Get Theirs" should not worry, as George Rickman's new "red hot mama" won't be here long. She doesn't stay in any place long, especially if it gets as hot as it was out in Minnesota. "Deep stuff." Shirley Hickman is gaining in weight since Leon bought her the new Radio. She loves loud speakers including those red hot garters that she is wearing. We noticed that Pauline Webster's hubby gave her a red hot squirrel coat to go to the Football Game. Look out, Pauline Shirley next. Ethelyn Boyd has returned to the land of the living. While the cat's away the mice will play. Monsento, why did you quit Basha Inn? Because Clarice did? Oh you pretty mamas. Harlem Sheiks and Shebas no doubt have that "Red Hot Mama" does not occur in his note. HARLEM "Oh, darling girl." "Oh, dearest." "Oh, dear love." AND FARTHER "Your still faithful daddy." "Your heart lonesome boy." "I send my warm lips to you." YEARS "My heart was broken the night you said and night for your caresses."

"Oh, love, do not for thing to do with my forgetting you." "My lover broader, deeper, and more to be relied upon." never let anything, no matter what it may will not do for you." "Angel child, what does you." Harlem Sheiks and Shebas no doubt have a love litany similar to Kips. It is noted that "Red Hot Mama" does not occur in his vocabulary, for Alice was all of that. Editors note. HAIL "Oh, darling girl." "Oh, dearest." "Oh, dear blessed girl." "Oh, loved one." "My own love." AND FAREWELL "Your still faithful daddy." "Your heart-broken boy." "Your loving boy." "Your lonesome boy." "I send my warm lips to you, darling." "Yours till Saturday night." "My heart was broken the night you said goodbye." "My poor heart is longing day and night for your caresses." "God, Alice, I do want you to come back." "Oh, oh, God, Alice, you have no idea what your letter means to me." "Oh, Alice; life is not worth living if the one you love is far away." "I shall go to bed and sleep (all by myself)." JEALOUSY "Say you will be faithful forever and have only me." "Don't forget your boy in the days that are to come." "I wonder if you think of me just a little tonight, being in Stamford 'all by myself'." "I hope you got home early last night." "I suppose you were at one of your so-called 'strutting parties'." "I wonder where you will be Wednesday night." "Our love for each other cannot be broken." "You can trust me, Alice, to be true to you now and always." "Oh, love, do not for one moment think that time will have anything to do with my forgetting you." "My love for you has never been greater, stronger, broader, deeper, and more to be relied upon." "You can rely on me to do my share and never let anything, no matter what it may be, come between us." "There is nothing I will not do for you." "Angel child, what does this mean when I shall always be true to you." Fortune passes some of us by, but they say Mercia will be a happy girl. Should dame Fortune pick her up after one of those "feinting" spells? A certain dentist sent a collector to interview Charlie Brown about some upholstery that was done on his chairs. Now he won't be able to bite so hard. Minnie G. one of the "Wooden shoe sisters," and Marie C. and the grass widow with the silver threads among the gold were certainly drinking plenty of juice just as fast as Cliff could hand it out. Frances Walker was seen doing the "death grip dance" with Freddy Johnson at The Ambassadors dance, Friday night. Willie Heard was observed with his wife in a box Friday night, and they certainly passed out plenty of juice. Sheik Truly, president of the Postos, who was the keen brown that you paid so much attention to on Friday night? Poor "Snake" Reid, can certainly hang around a box when there is plenty of juice flowing. Madame Pinkney, the grass widow, you certainly did love when the lights were low, especially when dancing to the strains of Johin C. Smith's orchestra, "Save Your Sorrows." Jerry Preston gave a bang up party for H. B. Nichols, "the big butter and egg man" from Cleveland, at The Cotton Club. Among those present were Cliff Brown, Joe Rudder, and Pinkie Bailou. Helen Davis wants to know why Walter Beckles doesn't bring us that hot suit that he has cached away in his closet. Bring us a new one, Sir.

That's the reason, darling. I hate to sit down at this desk tonight, because it will be long, long time before I can mail you another one, and, dear, it will be a longer time still, I am sorry to say, before that letter reaches you. Lord only knows when you will receive another one of my notes, but remember this, dear girl. I am going to write you a few lines every day while on the steamer and will post it just as soon as we land at Honolulu, so Alice, in the meantime wait patiently and pray for your old boy, while he is on the deep blue sea. I don't know how often the boats run from Honolulu to San Francisco, but, old scout, you can bet your bottom dollar that whenever one leaves, it will be carrying letter to you from your faithful Len. Last night, sweetheart, after writing three full pages to you, I undressed and scrambled into bed, but not to go to sleep. No, baby, do you know what I did? Something that you do when my letters arrive at night. Yes, loved one, I took everyone of your notes which I received at General Delivery and read them while laying on the bed. Oh, blessed sweetheart of mine, some of the things you told me brought tears to my blue eyes, others made my heart seem as though it would burst with joy, and when you mentioned the time we were at the "Marie Antoinette" * * * * Oh, sweetheart, many, many nights I lay in bed and think about my darling girl and long for * * * * God, Alice, can you imagine me reading your tempting notes in bed last night!

If reports are true Jerry Preston's protege has fallen in love with the charming Minnie Mc Dowell of Chicago. Jerry must be disgusted after having schooled Pinkie so long and then have him fall into the clutches of The Misery Club. Jimmy Moss, why didn't you bring Camille Cavelle to the party on last Wednesday? A certain girl declared that she would not have cared as long as "Snake" was there. Al Mosby looked very good to a certain little "brown vamp" at the dance on Friday night. She stated that you looked better than ever. Page the sweet brown skin Nettie. Arthur Desport, why were you missing Friday night? Was it because the little manicurist had to stay home with hubby? We see that Cliff Westcott is trying to make fast time with "Brown Betty." Be careful as she has so many "Butter and egg men"; it will be some hard job to capture her. The best horse wins in a long race, however. Any old place is lover's lane so far as Woodie is concerned. He even made love to her down at Smalls'. Harry Ross why did you join the Misery Club on Sunday afternoon? Was it due to the fact that Woodie made such a headway?

Why not follow the N. Y. M. and be in line? We hope that the Campaign Manager of a certain contestant, who resides in West 137th Street, near Eighth Avenue, bought all the votes with the money that he collected on the Avenue from the gang and the boys at The Bamville. They say that Allen Stoute is singing, "Oh! Oh! Alice where art thou?" L. Cherry is some loud speaker; a certain cabaret manager said that he was not in need of a Radio so long as Cherry was around to broadcast the different dances. Jimmy Moss why did you slight Elizabeth Fisher by not inviting her to the party? Was it because Camille was there? Bill Warren, the "Big wine man", is doing a rushing business. He says that he loves his wine strong and his women weak. Keep it up, ole top, you will get some strong sisters if you weaken your wine a little. The cute little Ingenue from Mt. Vernon is pretty clever, but she slipped up on Friday night on two dates. Things looked bad for awhile, but towards the end the best man won and we saw her strolling up the Avenue looking quite pleased with the world. Who said that Charlie Brown hasn't a drag up in Mt.

KIP, THE POET (Dedicated to Bill Crampton) Leonard Kip Rhinelander heard his wife's love poems read to him in court last week. Yesterday "Len's" own effort at verse, written for his college paper in Arizona, was read in his wife's hearing: Old man Hutch, the sweet-pea farmer, Regularly meets his music mama; Practices diligently all the time, To equal and rival friend Rubenstein. He's an incubator fan of the rarest sort, He hatches chickens and calls it sport; Dear Old Dinty with his kinky rope, Me's got ambition, but there's not much hope. Yes! Yes!

Sports and Theatrical NewS By BENNIE BUTLER Page 10 Topics of Moment By the Editor To-morrow, (Thursday) afternoon at Shibe Park, Philadelphia, the sturdy sons of old Father Penn and Lincoln University, will valiantly strive to keep the bridge and prevent the mighty gridiron warriors from the District of Columbia and Howard University, from triumphantly crossing. "They shall not pass" is the histrionic battle cry of Lincolnites while the all powerful invaders are pouring into the city with their new war song, "We'll tramp our way to glory just the same." Despite the poor showing of Lincoln's football aggregation so far, the game between the two illustrious old institutions is certain to be most stubbornly contested. Lincoln has a way of being at her best against Howard. On the present dope, the D. C. eleven figures to win, and by a fair margin. But don't forget that this has been a year of up-sets where the dopesters have been given some rude jolts. However, while the game is the central factor of interest, regardless of which way the fortune of battle flows, the thousands who attend will be the real victors. The annual "Gridiron Classic" invariably brings forth the elite from every nook and corner of Uncle Sam's glorious land. Thanksgiving Day means more than just Thanksgiving to us, if such a thing is possible. ```markdown ``` It's not only a day of athletic effort and holiday festivities but one of reunion and the opportunity to mingle again in that atmosphere that has become a sacred treasure to us, more sacred and still more treasured with the flight of time. We have a great deal to be thankful for and it is well that we are thankful and will have this one great and glorious opportunity each and every year to mingle with our friends and buddies of academic days, with friends and relatives who have encouraged us in the effort to better prepare for the struggle of life, whether it was at Howard or Lincoln Hampton or Wilberforce, Atlanta or Livingston. And the sight of these gallant, sturdy athletes, who will struggle for the supremacy of their Alma Mater in the great baseball Stadium of Philadelphia, will encourage other lads of the Race to better equip themselves for the still more exacting tests that must be met in the years to come. By the example set and the nation wide interest shown in the coming Thanksgiving day event, thousands of colored boys will be encouraged to go on and ever up in the bitter struggle of life, with its numerous perplexing and heartbreaking problems. Howard may win or lose; Lincoln may win or lose. And then there is another possibility, that of a deadlock or tie game. But, in the battle of life you either win or lose, and the world has no use for a loser, regardless of how noble or courageous the effort made. There can be no tie—you either succeed or fail. And, as in everything else, whether it's a football game or a foot race, a prize fight or a swimming contest, the man best qualified—greater skill, greater courage, greater vitality and ability to execute will invariably win. THE INTER-STATE TATTLER geatrical NewS E BUTLER GUS MOORE EASILY WINS P.S.A.L. RACE AND TITLE Brooklyn High School Runner Romps Home An Easy Winner Of Schoolboy's Cross Country Run For Second Time Little Gus Moore of Boy's High School, Brooklyn, New York, romped home an easy winner in the slow time of 13 minutes 42 seconds over the two and one fourth of a mile course at Van Cortland Park Saturday afternoon, winning by about fifteen yards from Irving Roth of Stuyvesant High School. Moore, the P. S. A. L. mile and cross country champion and undoubtedly the greatest schoolboy miler ever developed in the country, has not been defeated since his winning of the championship last year. The race of last Saturday was conceded to be his and interest was centered in team honors and the battle for second place. The slim but powerful little champion, just eighteen years old, rounded out a marvelous year of the most spectacular successes ever achieved by a schoolboy runner. It was at this same course last November when he first won the title and startled the athletic world with his wonderful running. During the year, he won the Public School Athletic League's out-door and indoor championships and every other race he was entered in. He sprang a sensational surprise in running the mile in 4:281/5 seconds and this when only seventeen years old and on a heavy, soggy track. Gus has proved beyond the shadow of doubt, that he is the greatest of all schoolboy distant runners. His triumph of last Saturday in defense of his title and for the New York Tribune's special gold medal, while not won in anywhere near record time, was convincing. He galloped over the finish line strong and fresh and had he not loafed along to encourage Irving Roth, his old rival, to win second place, could easily have won by a hundred yards, and in much better time. But the colored title holder deliberately stuck with Roth all the way, setting a pace just fast enough for the Stuyvesant youth, who was making a courageous fight for the place against Matthew Roche of Richmond Hill and Paul De Marco of Bryant High School, who finished in the order named. and while Moore finished strong with yards to spare, the other three lads staggered home badly exhausted and well spent in the terrific struggle for the place behind the flying form of the colored lad from Boy's High School.

Frisco McGale And Harry Dudley Conquered By Harlem's Pride. Makel Wins Jack McVey defeated George Levine at the Commonwealth Sporting Club last Saturday night in the ten round feature event of three tens. The bout was most stubbornly contested every second of the way, both lads crashing home terrific punches with McVey being the better and harded hitter. Early in the fight, in fact in the very first round, Levine learned that Jack carried dynamite in both hands. Just about ten seconds after the first bell started the fight, McVey hooked George with a snappy left that hurt. Then, to prove that his right was as deadly, he drove the white boy into a neutral corner and floored him there with a short right jolt under the heart. Levine was up before Eddie Munson, the time keeper could start the count but from that time on he was on his bicycle and never took any chances with his dangerous rival. Jack crowed him every minute of action, but only now and then was he able to catch up with the speedy and elusive Levine. Although Levine was fighting a defensive battle, he at times stung McVey with a crashing right. Twice during the contest, he landed flush on Jack's jaw but McVey can take it and come back strong. Levine's hardest blows never halted the colored boy's relentless attack even for a second. Carrying the milling to Levine, McVey hit inside his cagey foeman's leads or stepped inside and countered heavily to body 7th Avenue and 132nd.

George soon found that the youngster facing him was not so easily handled as Panama Joe Gans, "Fisco McGale and Harry (Young) Dudley whom he defeated. Levine could not work his favorite trick of turning his opponent as in these other bouts. While in the writer's judgment, Levine did not defeat Panama Joe, Levine did turn Joe around almost at will. But McVey was the stronger of the two and when George attempted his favorite trick, found Jack right on the job. Little Willie Makel, conceding about seven pounds to Herman Singer, won a very close decision in the ten round semifinal. Makel has been showing to better advantage every time out. His victory over a body of Singer's class, to whom he conceded a big weight advantage, was most creditable. The weights of the men were, McVey 151 pounds, Levine $ 149 \frac{1}{2} $ .

Theatrical Promoter To Emulate Ziegfeld With A Brown Skin "Follies" At Howard Theatre, Washington, D. C. For the past five or six weeks the famous old Howard Theatre of Washington, D.C. has been in charge of Jimmy Cooper, one of the ablest of theatrical producers, who was known far and wide because of his spectacular burlesque production on the Columbia wheel, The Black and White Revue. Jimmy, as he is familiarly known to THE BROOKLYN EAGLE JIMMY COOPER the profession, has laid extensive plans for the illustrious playhouse and to date has gone to considerable expense in the re-modelling of the building. Always aggressive and alive to budding possibilities, he jumped at the opportunity when it came to assume charge of the old amusement house. Cooper believes that the Howard can be made to pay and has the courage to undertake the task. And he is going about it in a way that is convincing and instantly wins confidence. Jimmy promises some starling surprises for the good folks of the capital city, surprises that are certain to please. First of all, he has interested capital in his gigantic venture, and secondly, he has lined-up several high-class artists of the Race. That is a combination that should spell success. Appreciating the wonderful success that Florenz Ziegfeld had with the "Follies", glorifying the American girl, Jimmy intends to emulate the celebrated producer with another "Follies" but in this case, glorifying the "Brown Skin Girl". And in this effort, he hopes to establish a permanent institution. PAUL'S TAILOR SHOP CLEANING. DYEING & PRESSING Paul Bass, Prop.

GORDON DINGLE SUES WASHINGTONIAN WHO FAILS TO MAKE PROPER ACCOUNTING The Suit Involves Property Estimated At Or About $80,000. — Defendent Refutes The Charges In Absolute Denial. Judge Siddons Takes View That Case Was One For The Auditor And Should Be Referred To Him For Decision. Friday, November 27, 1925 J. GORDON DINGLE SUPP WHO FAILS TO MAKE The Suit Involves Property Esti fendent Refutes The Charges In Takes View That Case Was Should Be Referred An interesting glance into the manipulations of real estate dealers was disclosed recently in the suit of J. Gordon Dingle, well known local attorney against Mortimer M. Harris, a real estate broker of Washington, D. C., when the case was heard last week. His attorneys, Leckie, Cox and Sherier, told the court that Mr. Harris had sold ten houses in the 1800 block of Eighth Street, Northwest, for their client and failed to make an accounting. Attorney James A. Cobb, who with attorneys George E. C. Hayes and J. T. Settle appeared for Mr. Harris, refuted the charges in absolute denial. After hearing the two sides to the argument Judge Siddons took the view that inasmuch as it was a matter of accounting, the case should be referred to the auditor. The story as told in court is to the effect that 10 to 15 houses were sold, for a sum aggregating $80,000, through the office of Mr. Harris. Mr. Dingle is said to put up $3,500 as a contract binder. The sellers took back a first mortgage of $4,000 and negotiations were consumed for a second blanket mortgage of $60,000, the difference between the amount paid by Mr. Dingle and the purchase price. The resale of the ten houses brought more than $7,500 each, the purchases assumed the first trusts of $4,000 each and made small cash payments. Mr. Dingle turned over the notes of the second trusts to be discounted in the market for ready cash. Mr. Harris had the notes discounted and turned over the cash realized to the title company for Mr. Dingle, which he accepted. On July 2, 1924, just on the eve of Mr. Harris' departure for Europe, he and Mr. Dingle began a settlement. On July 3, 1924, Mr. Dingle gave Mr. Harris one check for $1,149.44, making a notation on the back of it that it was for commissions and adjustments. He also gave him on the same day another check for $400, putting a notation on its back that it was an advance on commissions to be earned on account of Eighth street property. Mr. Harris, on the other hand, turned over to Mr. Dingle a check purporting to be in full settlement for the sale of the 10 houses. Mr. Harris deposited the two checks he had received immediately. His bank was advised by telegram that payment on them had been stopped. The checks were later returned to the Mechanics Bank of New York, on which they were drawn, marked "payment stopped." Under the terms of the contract for the sale of these houses, Mr. Harris was to submit all contracts for their sale to Mr. Dingle for his approval, attorneys for Mr. Harris contend that this provision was strictly followed and Mr. Dingle approved each sale and was so well pleased with the transaction that he made an advance on commission for the sale of the remaining five houses. Since the filing of this suit it is reported that Mr. Harris has had to pay the sum of $3,600 on a note which he endorsed for Mr. Dingle. --- JUST FOR FUN (Phila.)

On Thanksgiving night, a most appropriate time for a wedding, the popular Miss Mae Hackley of our city will become the bride of Mr. Herbert Murray, also well known in Quaker City circles.

Levy Edwards, who so successfully staged the musical comedy, "It's Just Too Bad" at St. Simon's on November 9th, will repeat this show on December 14th at Claver's. This is being done by special request of the public, as many were unable to see the performance due to the limited seating capacity of St. Simon's, and those who were fortunate enough to witness it were so appreciative of the efforts of Levy's Fun Makers as to request its reproduction at an early date. There will be a number of added attractions when the curtain again rises on the Fun Makers. Mrs. Edna Accooe, dancing director, will introduce the chorus to some new and novel steps, and in its entirety, good as the show in the original was, the repetition is expected to be even better. Mme. Io Keene will furnish the music on this occasion and who better? Ralph Horde, did you tell the "Little lady with the diamond tooth" down on S. Opal Street that you are engaged to Mabyle Meyers on Thanksgiving nite? Why not be on the level once in your life? Johnny Cobb, the famous international host has just returned from his vacation in the Adirondacks—and had the usual amount of luck according to his fish stories.
