VOL. XXII. NO. 13 MOB SPIRIT AFFECTS JURY AND JUDGE New Trial For H. Latimer; Who Was Arrested, Indicted, Tried, Convicted and Sentenced To Be Hung All In 24 Hours. FEELING RAN HIGH AGAINST ACCUSED Charleston, W. Va.—“The mob spirit dictated this conviction.” “The bloodthirsty mob spirit permeated the atmosphere of the trial and had its effect upon court and jury.” From a unanimous opinion of the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals written by Judge Frank Lively and handed down Tuesday ordering a new trial of Harry Latimer, Nogro, convicted in the Circuit Court of Mingo County on the charge of raping an eight-year-old girl. In 1921. The same day he was arrested and within 24 hours had been indicted, tried, convicted, sentenced to be hanged and was on his way to the state penitentiary, according to the records of the case. In this exceeding hurried conviction is apparent in the statement from the circuit court, which has been made part of the record. In this statement the judge of the circuit court said: “I knew that feeling was running high against the accused in and about the court house being inflicted on the accused if speedy justice were not met out to him by the court.” "The mob spirit has dictated this conviction," said Judge Lively, in his opinion. "The bloodthirsty mob spirit permeated the atmosphere of the trial, and had its effect upon the court and jury. The defendant may have done nothing wrong, but he is entitled to fair and impartial trial, to the calm, deliberate and uninfluenced judgement of his peers. Orderly and constituted governments demand such a trial. It is a safeguard in which all members of society are held accountable for their jealousy upheld and guarded. A judicial lynching is a a verer and more startling crime than a lynching by an irresponsible rabble. It undermines the foundation of orderly government and workens respect for imminent danger. It compromises with the spirit of lynching for any crime. "What we have said is entirely impersonal," he says, and is not to be considered as reflecting upon the conduct of the offenders in charge of the case. It is not to impel the choice of what was considered the lesser evil. The duty is therefore imperative on this court to annul the result brought about by a choice of evils, and to preserve to every member of society, however small the effect of the crime, he may be, the right of fair and impartial trial." SYLLABUS IN CASE In the syllabus in the case, Judge Lively said: "Where a person has been arrested for an alleged crime, committed on the day of the arrest, and on the day following is indicted, tried, convicted, sentenced to hang, and immediately taken to the penitentiary for a sentence of purpose and apologize that he has been given no time to prepare his defense, was assigned counsel after he announced that he was ready for trial and plead not guilty, and the judge certifies that he knew that feeling was running high against the accused in and about the court room, and that no violence being inflicted upon the accused if a speedy trial was not had; and it appears that no witnesses were summoned for the defendant, no motion made for change of venue, improper evidence admitted on the trial without objection on the prisoner's part, and an intervened, the appellate court will set aside the verdict and award the prisoner a new trial, because he has not been accorded a fair and impartial trial. WIFE CHARGED WITH MURDER Claim That Woman Conspired 'With Colored Man To Kill 'Her Husband. Peter Smith Charged With Actual Killing' (Associated Negro Press) Mailland, Fla.—Mrs. Alice E. Shields was remanded for trial on charge of murder in the first degree after a preliminary hearing before a justice of the peace, growing out of the killing of her husband early last month. A colored man, Peter Smith, arrest- ed shortly after Shields has suppo- sedly met his death from ambush while returning with Mrs. Shields from Deland to St. Cloud, near here, is charged with the murder of the shield in the hearing was to the effect that Mrs. Shields conspired with the colored man to affect her husband's death. It was brought out that she was driving the car at the time and that she suddenly brought it to a stop in the road to avoid firing. She aligned from the machine to move the ob- struction and was shot through the head with a shotgun. Mrs. Shields was arrested several days later when Asst. Attorney Mett acted upon a communication from the "Committee of Investigation, Klan" offering a solution of the offi- cial formerly lived at Wachita Kansas.

SEEK SAFETY FOR BULLOCK SEEK SAFETY FOR BULLOCK Adequate-Police Protection Arranged For Youth When It Is Reported That Ku Klux Klan Threatens. Toronto, Can—The Rev. Wm. E. Guy, pastor of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, arranged for adequate police protection for Matthew Bullock, whom Canada refused to turn over to the authorities on a charge of attempted murder in connection with a road riots. Robert Hickory, N.C., that one million members of the Ku Klux Klan from Texas to Maine had been pledged to see that the colored youth was returned to North Carolina have reached here and the authorities and Bullock's friends are determined to protect him. Bullock's father has displayed evidence of piracy since the threats were reported. He is constantly with his son when the latter is not working at his job in the Union Railway Station. For eleven years the National Urban League, which has its headquarters in New York and which has done such unusual work in promoting more friendly relations between the races, in finding opportunities for jobs, in helping schools in corporations and large manufactures where they have never had opportunities before, and improving the housing and health conditions of the 500,000 colored people who have gone north during the past few years has been supported by large-hearted white men and women. Beginning with this the 12th year, the League is seeking to interest our own people in its support. Mr. J. R. E. Lee, who for many years was director of the Academic department at Tuskegee Institute and who for the High School in Kansas City, Missouri, has recently joined with Mr. Eugene Kinkle Jones, the executive secretary and his staff in the capacity of extension secretary with the view of interesting our people in the support of this work. He has just completed a work for the raising $500.00 for the National Urban League. He came to Norfolk from Richmond where the churches, business men and women contributed $652.00. Such contributions from our people go a long way to stimulate and encourage the good-hearted white people of large means to their support of the League's services. Norfolk has no less race vision and no less interest in large race welfare welfare Dr. Bowling, Dr. Madison, Dr. Martin and their large-hearted people have made substantial contributions in the direction of the $500.00 for Norfolk. Other ministers and their offices are in the same next Sunday, April 21. NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, APRIL 1, 1922 BUSINESS AWAKENING IN HARLEM Enterprising Men Make Long Strides In Entering New Fields and Developing Business Already Established. STRIVE TO ATTAIN HIGH STANDARDS New York, N. Y.-Harlem has had a 1922 business awakening. It is manifesting itself in activities that rebound to have a nation wide effect, and, besides being inspiration for the rest of the country, will further demonstrate the aroused commercial consciousness of the people. Notable among the events that point to the signs of the times, is the marvelous growth of the Pace Photograph Company, producing the Black Swan Records, and instruments. Harry H. Pace, president of the Company, has appointed Newport, that that organization is placing branch offices in all of the principal states of the country, and will shortly double its producing capacity. Working under handicaps that would have discouraged less experienced business men, this company last year, in an audited statement, shows that more than $100,000 worth of business occupies an entire building on Seventh Avenue, and gives employment to scores of people. As an indication of the high standard of production attained by this company, together with the popular musician, the composer it is noted, it has just released several selections in Grand Opera singing by Madam Antoinette Garnes, of Chicago, who is a prominent member of the Chicago Grand Opera Company, now playing in New York. Madam Garnes is the wife of Dr. Harry Garnes, of Chicago. "REEL NEGRO NEWS" Leigh Whipper, who for a number of years was assistant director of David Griffith, has opened offices on Seventh Avenue, where he is not only producing a remarkable pictorial news reel, equal to those in the press, he is also preparing to produce pictures with colored characters which from his unusual experience, promise to be a sensation in the picture world. Mr. Whipper has fallen on a new idea; has made an art arrangement for the press, whereby clever sayings from our newspapers will be thrown regularly upon the screen throut the country. In the same building, Sissle and Blake, Miller and Lyles, stars of the famous "Shuffle Along, Compete, Compete, Compete" series, have opened them in Breedway, have opened booking offices where they will not only send out road shaws and produce movies, but will handle their musical successes. Oscar Micheau, of the Micheau Filho Corporation, with headquarters in Chicago has practically completed his latest production in New York, which is said to be his most prenetic effort, and is greatly encouraged for the business outlook for the year. To the Associated Negro Press, he said, "We can do it, we can not only raise the standard of our commercial achievements, but we can give employment to the growing talent of our race, and other enterprises."

P. and former president of the American Bar Association, has signified his intention of appearing before the committee. Wade H. Ellis, of Washington, former assistant to the United States Attorney General, will appear if he can in Washington when the hearing held. Cobb, former assistant to the United States Attorney in the District of Columbia, has also signified his intention of appearing before Senator Borah's committee. Our business men and women are as liberal and as loyal to race welfare as the people of Richmond. In his canvass of our business and professional men, Mr. Lee has already found a ready response as shown by contributions from them in amounts that exceed the amount sure that by the end of Mr. Lee's ten days stay here, he will have more than realized his object. Mr. Lee is not only having receipts sent directly to each contributor from the home of his friends, but also staying, have published in the Journal and Guide the name and amount of N.A.A.C.P. Prevents Ku Klux Parade In National Capitol New York. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has been instrumental in preventing a parade of the Ku Klux Klan in Washington, it was announced today at headquarters, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York. A report that such a parade was planned came to the District of Columbia Branch, N. A. A. C. P., and Shelby J. Davidson, executive secretary of the Branch at once major of Washington Police, to inform him of it. An investigation was immediately begun and police insurance was given that no such parade would be held. As a result of the investigation a new police regulation was issued by the National Capital, prohibiting parades in disguise. The regulation is as follows: Ordered that "Processions and parades, except funerals, shall not be allowed, except permit, the police and Stateendent. Police, which permit shall designate the time and route of such procession or parade, and no part of such procession or parade shall move except according to the terms or such parade, and Stateendent. Police, which permit shall be issued for any procession or parade of any group, body or organization, the members of which are so costumed, dressed, masked or disguised as to be unrecognizable; provided, that persons to persons costumed as clowns taking part in authorized circus parades." every contributor as he has done of the Richmond contributors in the Richmond papers. The desire of Norfolk to help this worthy organization, our citizens will take even more pride in this effort because one of Virginia's own sons, in the person of Mr. Eugene Kinkle Jones, has built up one of the past eleven years. Surely no individual organization of Norfolk will fail to take this opportunity to respond to duty in this case and to stand hard by one of Virginia's sons. As many cities throughout the United States, the League during these eleven years has assisted directly more than two hundred and fifty thousand of our people toward economic independence and more satisfactory living condition.

WOMAN FAILS TO GET ESTATE WOMAN FAILS TO GET ESTATE Francis Scott Glenn, Who Claims To Be Daughter of Iona McGhee Gets None of Estate Awarded To Lillie G. Taylor. (The Associated Negro Press) New Orleans, La. — The Louisiana Supreme Court today denied the claim of Francis Scott Glenn, race woman of Memphis, Tennessee, to one half of the oil lands in Claiborne Parish and $20,000,000 recently awarded to Lillie G. Taylor another race woman. The woman was to be the daughter of Lona McGhee by a second husband, sued George West, in possession of the lands when claimed by Lillie Taylor, and the Gulf Refining Company, who had leased them to bore for oil, for possession of one hundred acres of land, money realized from oil taken from the property. The court in its decision awarded the property to the Taylor woman and declared that the latter was natural daughter of Lona McGhee. The court denied the Glenn woman suit on the ground that she could not claim the land as property of her, father as he had not been placed in possession of it by law, nor was he in possession of it as owner when Lona McGhee died. Mt. Vernon, Ill.—Mrs. Margaret Edm. Milton, age 122, died here this week of old age. She was born in Richmond, Va., a slave and was the property of ten different owners.

Housing Corporation Warns Truxtun Delinquents TO OBSERVE HEALTH WEEK APRIL SECOND Negro Organization Society and State Board of Health Call Attention To Health Campaign And Clean-Up Week. URGE INTEREST IN MOVEMENT Richmond, Va.—The Negro Organization Society in co-operation with the State Board of Health, is calling the attention of the colored people to the Clean-Up Week and Health Campaign beginning Sunday, April 2nd. This organization, whose most is better, has more health and better farms, has found that hundreds of Negroes die annually from preventable diseases and many others lose time from their work and their families are made to suffer because of the lackness of health and been prevented. It therefore uses this method by which the public mind may be aroused to the need of changing these conditions. Unsanitary "conditions around the home, including impure water supply, inadequate water supply, and the importance of the land of health are the main sources of this trouble. Reports from the work in past years have shown that much good has been accomplished. Houses, barns and fences have been white-washed, yards cleaned, water supply improved and private privy spaces built. The organization is urging a greater interest in this movement this year. The following statements prepared and issued at request of the Negro Organization Society of the State Board of Health in its April bulletin briefly sets forth the appeal: To the Colored Citizens of Virginia: In accordance with our yearly plan, based on a study of the health condition of the race, we are calling your attention to the need of putting forth all possible effort to make them better. Statistics show that within the last year hundreds of our race have died and hundreds of others have been kept out of work and have greatly affected the health of the race, which might easily have been prevented. Filthy homes, impure water supply, improper precaution against the spread of disease are some of the things actually affecting the great amount of sickness. We are asking you to study carefully the contents of this bulletin and to follow the suggestions given. Our homes must not be a breeding place for germs and a harbor for all that may be present. A dying race can never rise to its greatest possibilities, therefore we are urging that every man, woman and child will work together, for the purpose of making this the most effective Clean-Up week and Health plan that has ever been conducted. We are further asking that on Sunday, April 2nd, each minister will preach a Health sermon and churches and Sunday schools lift collections for the Negro Organization Society to help promote its campaign, of education. Please make report on furnished blanks to the N. O. S. Mechanics Bank Building, Richmond, Va., showing what work has been done. By order of the Negro Organize Society of Virginia. Albert B. President John M. Geman, Ex. Sec'y. Lorenzo C. White, Fld. Art- The United States Housing Corporation recently sent out from Washington, letters of warning to delinquent purchasers of Truxtun property, informing them that the corporation could grant no further leniency. Since July of last year many of the contract holders have fallen greatly in arrears on their monthly payments, due, of course, to the heavy discharges instituted in the Navy Yard at Fort McHenry, and that uninterruptedly up to the present. Representations have been made to Washington through petitions signed by a number of the purchasers and forwarded to Senator Swanson, Congressman Deal, Secretary of Labor, Davis and Robt. Watson of the Housing Corporation, for a revision of the purchase, and have been sent nearly in a just relation to present day living conditions. A movement to have Congress recede Truxtun back to the state of Virginia, also has been started. For the past several months, in deserving cases, the Housing Corporation has permitted the purchaser to pay the purchase price to pay the utilities tax. This in a measure has afforded temporary relief, but it is not desired a permanent policy, under this practice if it were continued indefinitely the purchaser would not acquire a right to the property. What is wanted by the contract holders is a reduction of monthly payments and elimination of interferences retroactive from date of purchase. Should Congress recede Truxtun back to the state the town would automatically become a part of Portsmouth, as it lies within the corporate limits of that city. It is not clear, however, that if Congress should take such action just before the benefit to the residents, unless, at the same time, deeds should be delivered Statue of Booker T.

MANY SENATORS FAVOR PASSAGE (Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C.—Senator Wm. E. Borah, chairman of the sub-committee in charge of the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill, has let it be known that it is his opinion that the bill will be put up before the present Congress, for it to be approved, prior to the recess adjournment. From all over the country, the Senator is receiving requests from individuals and organizations, that the committee conduct hearings as early as possible, and urging that the bill be passed. Borah has replied to all inquiries that at the first opportunity he will arrange for hearings. It is known that the Senator realizes the great national interest in this legislation, and that he will lead the fight against it. Borah seems to be a foregone conclusion. James Weldon Johnson, Executive Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., and assisting in the public representation of the bill, held an interview recently with Senator Borah here, and was invited to attend a hearing by the Moore-Field Store, of Boston, Attorney General Wickersham, of New York; Wm. H. Lewis of Boston and Edward H. Morris of Chicago, as well as Alexander H. Martin, of Cleveland, Ohio, are some of the high-profile professions who will be invited to denounce the institutional subject before the senatorial committee. PREVAILING SENATORIAL SENTIMENT The Associated Negro Press, both by personal interviews and correspondence has learned that there is prevailing sentiment in the United States that African Americans are publicists, for the passage of the bill. Many of them have expressed their opinion in no uncertain terms. From the lofty manner in which these Senators discuss the necessity for the bill, the charge of politics cannot be laid at their door. While it is true that a number of them are up the majority side and not the majority are taking bold stance on the law, it is also true that a number of Senators whose terms are comparatively new, are, likewise speaking favorably for the bill. The colored people of the United States are urged to make the passage of the anti-lynching bill, a subject of great interest and concern, in disposition of this particular bill, will depend much of the attitude of the American people so far as Negro Americans are concerned, for many years to come. If a bill for the protection of life and property is frowned upon by the U. S. Senate, it is certain that the people will feel uncertain in a large degree, in the safety and protection of the American constitution. That the opposition from certain elements of Democrats, will equal if not surpass that with reference to the Disarmament Conference treaties, and other measures, goes without saying. When the bill finally goes to the Senate, it will doubtless call for the more obsequious as well as bitterest ostracy listened to by the public in many years. But there will neither be a let up nor fear upon the part of the advocates of the measure. LOCAL PHYSICIANS WILL Dr. D. W. Byrd and Dr. S. O. Fields are leaving town Saturday for Tuskegee, Alabama, give lectures and demonstrations in the John Andrews Post Graduate Medical Course in the John Andrews Hospital.

HERMON Representative Colored Group at Benefit (The Associated Negro Press) New York City—It’s too bad the white people of America cannot know its as really a William Pickens of the Associated Negro Press, recently, “Fifteen Hundred people paid one dollar each to enter the Star Casino in New York City, last week and to entertain themselves with game and music, for the benefit of the National Association or the Advancement of Colored People and to forward its great fight against lynching and other evils. There was a colored American group, for sheer physical beauty the round world. There was present a man and woman known to the creative powers of Nature. They were clean and bright and attractive in their manners. If only the LYNCHER could have seen this social gathering, which he indirectly helped to call into being. Would he despair or would he grow mad?—He could not lynch all of these people, even, these gathered at the Casino. Some of them wont be yanked. And yet the gathering was only one ten-thousandth of the Colored population of the United States.

National Race Congress through its Executive Secretary, Marshall A. Talley, 1505 Miflin St., Homestead, Pa., desires to call attention to the tragic fact that the American Negro is facing, a most critical situation in this country; a situation which demands careful and painstaking consideration of all the data and phenomena, internal as well as external affecting our future in this country; a situation which calls for the needed action of the Race leaders. It is alarming that such a potential Race group representing twelve million people universally segregated as we are has no DECLARATIONS OF PRINCIPLES, no RACE CREED OF ACTION, no ORGANIZED DEFENSE AGAINST THE WIDE SPREAD DISCRIMINATION AND INJUSTICE PERPETRATED AGAINST US DAILY IN OUR ECONOMICAL AND POLITICAL LIFE. Like the Israelites in Egypt, we have too long looked for the hearts of the Pharohs' of our time to soften towards our needs to the extent that our people would be let go to enjoy larger lib- erties and full citizenship but by various emphatic inferences we are firmly impressed that the hearts of the Pharohs are becoming harder and harder and that our salvation is a burdened by unfit fort on our part rather than to depend upon others. The National Race Congress faces the challenge of the hour with the courageous effort to assemble the virile, sane and potent leaders of all Race organizations in Washington, D.C., M. May 2-6, 1922 to institute a National Race policy and to adopt Declarations and Principles to be hung upon the walls of every Negro school, with the hope of off-site, store, and other business places as a public expression of our standards, source of inspiration for our youth and a code of Race action for members of our group. All lodge leaders, leaders' of civic organizations, labor leaders, educational leaders, leaders of farm organizations, women's groups and other leaders are invited to take membership with the Congress, to participate in these proceedings on equal basis without sacrificing the rights of the bodies which they represent. A commission to draft these Declarations of Principles headed by Dean Kelly Miller of Howard University is already appointed and will present this important document for our adoption at the next session of the Congress. We are appealing for a cessation of group antagonism, if there be any, that the leaders of all organized groups of our peopole, in this country will join in this Race uniting effort. Such a united force will be felt—a united Negro voice will be heard. Elect your delegates now. Cape Charles News (Chas. Wiggins). Services of the First Baptist church were well attended last Sunday.

THE CITY NEEDS CERTAIN THINGS FOR ITS HEALTH One of the advantages of living in a city is to be found in the sanitary conditions that are not to be found in the country districts and which rake for the comfort, convenience and health of the people. Plenty of water in the home for domestic use and bathing purposes is an essential which cannot well be dispensed with. Life without proper bathing facilities is at most an aggravation. Then, proper pavements are essential, both as to streets and sidewalks. In the absence of such, getting to and from the homes, especially in damp and rainy weather, is not only a trial of the patience but a positive danger to the health of those who have to endure the hardship. All these improvements, as they are called, those who live in the cities expect as a matter of course, and the cities usually provide them for the protection of their health conditions, which are of vital moment to every city. These improvements are paid for out of the general taxation and out of special taxation. A united effort should be made by our residents of the districts enumerated in our news article in the issue of March 18, headed, "Many Streets now Impassable in Colored Sections of the City" to get some or all of the improvements needed, as well as good lighting of the streets, before the "frost is on the pumpkin" again. It is their business and they should keep very busy about it. Organize, agitate, insist, persist, and something will be done by the City Fathers, who are human, and will appreciate such public spirit on our part. THE NEW PARK AND PLAY GROUND Colored citizens are enthusiastic over the action of the City Council of Norfolk in voting to purchase the seven and half acres of land adjoining the Abraham Lincoln School, to be used as playground and park for our children and grown-ups who want an open space to breathe in, in the Berkley district. The Citizens' League did splendid work in securing the grant by the City Council, and we all appreciate the good work of Attorney R. G. L. Paige, the attorney for the League. The decisive support of Mrs. Frank Anthony Walke and Judge Thos.' H. Willex shows that there are times when we have the support of the best white sentiment in the city and are enabled by it to get the good things that might otherwise escape us. And readers of the JOURNAL AND GUIDE should not overlook the fact that organization wisely directed is the most tremendous power in the Nation. We have not invoked that power in civic matters to the extent that we should, but when we have do so the good results have justified the effort and should encourage us to invoke it as often as occasion arises as citizens of Norfolk. THE MYSTIC GHANDHI IMPRISONED The readers of THE JOURNAL, AND GUIDE are interested in the millions of East Indians because they are an off-color people seeking a larger measure of self-determination and participation in their governmental affairs than the British Government allows them as a part of the Empire and have been since the conquest of the country by Lord Clive and Warren Hastings, as representatives of the British Eastern Indian Trading Company; we are further interested in them because they are in their basic race group descendants of Abraham through Keturah, to whose six sons he gave gifts and sent them Eastward, in the East country, their Buddhist and Barbminic sects denoting their origin from Abraham. Of course the British do not know and consider this matter, although they claim Abraham for Spiritual Father. The masses of the East Indians are wonderfully backward, and divided disastrously in their caste, social and religious beliefs, which makes it easy for a strong government to rule them, as Great Britain does, in spite of their three or four hundred million souls. Mohandhas K. Ghandhi has done more than any other man to harmonize the conflicting opinions of the people, who have come to regard him as a prophet, a Mystic, one having supernatural inspiration. He is thoroughly educated in the English education and law. He threatened the supremacy of the British Government by inculcation of the doctrine of non-co-operation with the British Government, and was having much success, along peaceful lines of resistance, and the authorities found it necessary to arrest and try him for sedition. He has been sentenced to a term of years, without hard labor. It is a difficult matter for tyrannical governments to throttle the aspiration of the oppressed to be free. FOUR POWER TREATY RATIFIED After prolonged disagreements, wranglings and uncertainty, the Federal Sonate has ratified the Four Power Treaty. Four Republicans and twenty-three Democrats voted against ratification. The treaty contains the grist of the deliberations of the Conference on Disarmament, held at Washington, in an effort to make for the peace of the world. By the provisions of the treaty the alliance heretofore existing between Great Britain and Japan, which the United States regarded with great disfavor, is dissolved, Japan being one of the high contracting parties to the four power pact. The new understanding should do much to make for the peace of the world and to reduce the cost of taxation for the maintenance of large armies and navies, which are among the most costly things modern governments have to contend with. They are also the most dangerous to the liberties of the people, as they have been since the dawn of written history. Japan gains greatly by the Conference and the ratification of the treaty, as she not only becomes an equal ally of the three greatest Nations of modern times, but she secures; without any heralding of the fact the racial equality which she contended for in the Paris Peace Conference, and which was denied her. NEW YORK HAS THIRTY POLICEMEN A great many readers of THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE may elevate their eyebrows and shrug their shoulders when told that New York City, whose aggregate population is something more than 6,000,000, has thirty policemen; the fact is that there are more than six thousand policemen in New York, and every day's report would indicate that the city needs a great many more to keep the criminal element in subjection to law and order. But of the six million people in New York, who have some six thousand policemen to protect their lives and property, only about 150,000 of them are Afro-Americans, and it is they whom we want to tell our readers have thirty policemen of their race. Five of these have been but lately added to the police force, which is generally spoken of as "The Finest" in the country. In many respects it is. The effort to get Afro-Americans on the New York police force began thirty years ago, when T. Thomas Fortune was editor of the New York Age, and had as a helpful co-worker the distinguished lawyer T. McCants Stewart, now prelicensing law in the Virgin Islands, and other public spirited men of the race. The entering wedge was made by independent political organization and action, and was made through the Democratic party and not through the Republican party, when it controlled the big city. The growth since that time has been very slow but without letting up, and of late years, by independent action of the United Colored Democracy the Tammany Hall Democracy has increased the number of our representation on the force to thirty, giving us also many high municipal appointments, among them an assistant district attorney, an assistant corporation counsel, and very recently a commissioner of the civil service, one of the highest appointive offices the race has received. The New York authorities found out in the long run that Afro-Americans, made as efficient and dependable police officers as the whites, and that they were especially fitted to deal with the disorderly and criminal members of their race in the districts, like Harlem, where they are so numerous. It would be a good and politic thing for the City Fathers of Norfolk, and other large cities of the South, to adopt the policy which the New York authorities have adopted and worked out with such satisfactory results. It would create a better and more helpful sentiment among the races if the Norfolk City Fathers would look at the matter as the City Fathers of New York look at it.

NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE WHEN SHE WAS BAD By WINIFRED KITTREDGE © 1921, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate and when she was good She was well good; But when she was bad But when she was good. Angelica Morn lived just outside Baltimore court. This was a thing for which the dwellers within that sanctuary thanked their lucky stars night and morning, and sometimes in between times, too, as on their way to work they furtively passed the little yellow cottage where she dwells. They found it well to walk softly, and drive their cars quickly, past this small and unimposing domicile. Angelica had an unpleasant habit of making shining cars and now hats the targets for small, over-ripe crabapples, of which she had in her yard three trees, and angled them in a remarkably accurate. Lover's often turn preceding street in their walks, and careful mothers sent their scrubbed little boys and girls to school the other way. Frequently, when their well-knew poodle dogs came home with muddy coats and followed by a short length of twine, and their angora nurses abbreviated cars and bloody paws, the Baltimore court housewives might be heard to make scorching remarks about their small neighbor. But concludes, "Angela's mother won her too easy, the best. And, too, it did make a feel a trifle foolish to be making unpleasant remarks about a demure little girl who had just brought a chair and now stood looking up with innocent eyes. Angela's manners were by spasms, unbelievable 'cherubic.' One day Angelica came from school unusually thoughtful. To her mother's inquiries she merely said, "Oh, she was a dentist came to the second grade to talk." But the thoughts moodful reminded for the rest of the day. The Misses Pebody rose early. The elder Miss Pebody went to raise the curtains at exactly half-past five. "Sister, I think we are going to be blest with rain," she said. Then her gaze fell to the front walk. "Jane Mirndus, come here at once. What is that?" Large letters in this inscription, "Mis Pebody brush you teef." Angrily the two ladies glared at each other. In unison they gasped one word, "Angelica." Scarcely had they recovered from the first shock when the telephone Jangled wildly. A wrashful voice shouted: "Has that young racal been at your house, too? What did she write?" He shut off at once when they told him, and Jane was just quick enough to see their bachelor neighbor efface the remains of a large heart above an elongated toothbrush. The lion's mouth in the heart were "J. M. P." "This is going entirely too far," said the elder Miss Peebody, "Something must be said to Angelica's mother. At nine o'clock we will go over." But the Misses Pebody were not the only ones to whom had occurred the necessity of a visit to Angelica's mother. A little later they heard even through their closed windows the uplifted voice of the Court blering: And if you believe it, Mrs. Gowing, that you should sit in your front steps: "Shut you mouth brush you teet." And for her to say that to me! I could scarcely trust my eyes. The Misses Phobly were at the door in time to hear the gentle voice of the minister's wife reply, "Yes, I really think something ought to be done. Angelica should have known better. She wrote on the front walk, right where the children could see: 'You are a devil. Did you no it?' The two listeners gasped. "Walt," they cried. "Are you on the way to Angelicida?" We will be ready, shortly. Just as they were going down their walk their hachelor friend emerged from his house. "Guess I'll go too," he observed, grimly. Mrs. Morn was ready to start work, Angelica," she said. "Where's my tailor's chalk?" Angelica didn't know; didn't even know where it was now; hadn't seen it for a long time. Just then a knock sounded. Angellica became irreproachably demure. But the combined utterances of five determined individuals prevailed over her innocence. Immediately after their departure, Angellica was sent to the court with a pall and sponge. Her return was markedly tearful, but Mrs. Morn was stern. "Not once may you go out of the yard today," was her sentence. Angellica sulked, then as she looked up toward the court, grew surprising and cheerful whose sadly reduced newness. She glanced toward the crab-apple tree, and grew positively radiant. The next morning several of Baltimore court's most prominent men stood barreheaded, waiting for the nearest harborshery to open. Lose Nearly Million Trees Yearly. The Bell telephone system uses fully 500,000 cordar telephone poles a year; also 200,000 chastustant poles and 3,000 crescent pine poles. That is an achievement, measured in usual business terms. But it means 785,000 trees chopped down yearly. Why not use concrete or steel poles and conserve the Humber? Porches are vandalizing like snow on a hot stove-fold. Is howling at the door —Chicago Post, K. K. K.

Jackson of the editorial staff of the Billboard, in which he expressed his great interest in the subject of movies as they affect colored Americans. The Chicago Press can state with authority that the movie of Mr. Hayes to give special attention to this subject in the relation to colored people in the breadstick way. Not only will he consider the business but the ethical side, and it is evident that there will be some distinct advantages worked out under the direction of Mr. Hayes. Jackson is regarded as one of the best authorities in the country on the moving picture subject.

HEALTH, THRIFT, AND GOOD FUN CLUBS Health, thrift and good fun epitomize the general program of Community Service in Norfolk. In the Recreation Department health and thrift are emphasized almost as much as the clubs already organized, much interest is being shown. A few minutes of each meeting are spent in taking physical exercise and doing stunts that bring unused muscles into activity by the leader along health lines. The thrift idea is rather novel and those already trying it are getting results. The idea is not to put aside any special amount or definite part of the program, but all right but this affords more fun, and if carried out according to present plans will prove surprisingly effective. As soon as arrangements can be completed, regular Community Sings will be held continuing to the warm weather.

He has followed the steamship work for six years and has been catering for fifteen years. His many friend wish for his mid-succeeds, he has been made no mistake in selecting Mr. Dallesfer for this position, which carries with it not only responsibility, but honesty *u* dignity. Mr. White already knew of his experience as steamship man with whom he will thank Mr. Dallesfer for his thanks made hi: selection of help, having selected twenty-five men of experience in steamship lines, all of Norfolk except his cooking crew who will be from New York. The following twenty-five men of experience foot, Wm. Russell, Walter Thangard, B. Brickhouse, J. S.'inner, J. Fuller C. Bray, J. Harrison, Wm. Lewis Wm. Hicks, W. Guict, C. Johnson, Leroy Talbott, T. Griffin, A. Halkins, Robt. Thomas, George Clyde, Paul Wkmb J. Wallace, Wm. Harris Mr. Dailferes carries the highest recommendations from some of the strongest men in the state. The follow-up is a few from the many coming from them: Norfolk, Vn. March 25, 1922. That The Old Dominion Transportation Co., means to give the best of service, is proven by the fact of employment in the stewards department. Clarence Dalfers, who is employed as head waiter, was formerly employed by me for years as steward head waiter at Hampton Roads Yacht Club. All who expect to travel by the Old Dominion may feel certain of getting first case service. A. Lynton Jones, Pres., of Cotton Exchange Thomas J. Hogans, Board of Directors of O. D. T. Co. POUR F. M. B. Norfolk, Va. March 25, 1922. It is my opinion that The Old Dominion Transportation Co., could not have made a better selection of a man for head waiter or could have secured a man more capable for the job than Clarence Dalfers, whom they have employed in them. I am sure the passengers on this line will be entirely satisfied with the service they get. W. H. Venable. Law Building. Norfolk, Va. Norfolk, Va. March 25, 1922. Everyone who travels with the old Dominion Transportation Co. may rest assured of getting the best of service and courteous treatment. I am personally acquainted with the work of Clarence Dalferes, who is employed as head waiter on one of their bureaus he danced to observe his work as dinner given to Governor Trinkle and his party and know him to be thoroughly can- able, and it is reasonable to believe that all of the employees will be carefully selected. W. Lee Lewis; Monticello Hotel. Norfolk, Va. October 27th, 1921. While I was Commander of the American Legion in Norfolk, Clarence Dailferes catered for a banquet the State Department. He also catered for a banquet of the Overseas Doctors on another occasion. I was directly in charge of both functions. It gives me great pleasure to say that I have served for both occasions was highly satisfactory. The preparation of the food was as good as I have seen in Norfolk and the service was up to a high standard. Judging by my experience with him, I feel that Clarence Dailferes will give satisfaction in any catering business he undertakes. Thomas V. Williamson.

NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE Interest To OF INTEREST T By Miriam D EARLY FAITH Dear Mrs. Dixon: What do you think of children accepting Christ in the way the present day evangelists do? You know they did, come thur that way when I was a child. OLD FASHIONED. Well, I am glad you asked that question. There is a divided opinion on this, but I am with the evangelist. Children though born in sin are innocent of volume. They are guilty in the sight of God. These little ones being tender hearted, usually accept salvation at its face value and trust implicitly. After accepting Christ they should be trained in the way and they will not depart from it. Please tell me how to interest the fellows. You said in one of your answers what should you choose the way and go after him. How can this be done? I am twenty. --PERPLEXED. I do not advise immodesty in a girl, whatever her aim in life and when I say go her aim, I do not mean you should literally run after him. First, choose your ideal and work toward making yourself a fit companion for him. This can be done by learning his taste and dress, his ideas about religion, etc. If you become an interest to the man your first difficulty will have been overcome. Many girls lose out because they too eager, too eager, too eager, and withhold all endearment. After marriage is the best time, especially when you are more anxious than he. Dear Mrs. Dixon: I have been twice married and have a very good husband. Of late he seems to be climbing considerably. I hardly know what is the matter with him and I am very unhappy. MARGARET. Margaret, suppose you want put yourself in the man's place and him more than half way. Don't giret tired, keep this up until you have located his trouble. Renew your little attentions and the coals will begin to burn again. It may be that some one is trying to influence him or he is magnifying your defects. In eth- imide you are to blame. Keep this in mind and you will find yourself overcoming. Mrs. Dixon: I read your department each week and think your answers full of good sense. Please advise me if you think medicine a suit- able profession for a woman. MARY. I do wish some good girl would study medicine and specialize in disases of infants and children. It is true that, in our city it is hard to find any one truly interested in this branch of medicine. A woman has both the instinct and tenderness to succeed in the sick room. Virginia: I do not have your in- formation yet, but watch for an an- swer next week. What is happiness, where and how can it be found? A happy person is one who can be content with what he or she is doing at all times to better his condition. OUT OF THE SKILLET ONELET Eggs are down. To serve six persons, separate the yolks till thick and lemon colored, add six tablespoonfuls of water and beat all together. Beat all together. Beat whites in a separate bowl until stiff. Fold whites into yellow mixture lightly. Pour mixture into a hot buttered omelet or frying pan. Reheat until hot. Serve with diced meat, grated cheese or thinly sliced ham or shoulder. STUFFED BEEF Select a large slice of fresh beef remove bone (if any), make filling, three onions (chopped fine) one-half cupful of suet, 2 cupfuls stale bread, salt pepper, sage and thyme to taste, Mix salt pepper and thyme with stock to moisten. Lay meat flat, spread mixture evenly over it and roll tightly. Tie or pin and dust with flour. Place in a casserole, add one-half cupful of hot water, cover and cook one hour, if dry add more water, make gravity and serve hot. FUDGE 1 tablespoonful of butter 2 cupfuls sugar 2 ounces chocolate 1/4 cupful milk 1 pinch cream of tartar 1 cupful vanilla Combine the chocolate, cut in small pieces, butter and milk in a sauce-pan and stir over the heat till the sugar is dissolved. Boil until a little of the mixture when tried in cold water forms a soft ball. Cool until it may be dented with the fingernail, and heat until creamy. Pour a half-inch into a pan lightly rubbed with butter, mark in squares I SEE BY THE PAPERS That women are more adept at learning foreign languages than men. That at a London wedding a woman recently appeared as "best man" in support of the bridegroom. That, in China a woman never thinks of shaking hands with a man. If a geteleman wishes to give a lady a far hand does not hand it to her feet their hands touch. Instead he places it beside her. That the wife of a former English banker sells newspapers on a street corner of Cleveland, Ohio, and finds the business quite profitable. That women now possess suffrage rights in twenty-one countries. That Evaenginele Booth commander of the Salvation Army, says that if the modern women would think more of "fending a helping hand" than worrying about their next bridge game and other useless recreations, poverty and homelessness would disappear from this country in a short space of time. That throughout Belgium women no longer work in the mines and on the docks where many of them were employed before the war. That a young woman appeared in the shopping district of Winchester, Va., dressed in a close fitting pants of khaki met at the knee with gray woolen hose. She wore also a snug slipover sweater of white wool with stocking cap to match and her shoes were tan oxford.

Miss Foster is the daughter of Rachel and O. Foster of Hobson street and Miss Saunders the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Saunders of Key Road. SENGALESE TROOPS IN FRANCE Paris, France—The fact that France is the only European power which maintains regiments of colored troops is a sign of attack on the system which keeps garrisons of Sengalese troops in France, recently made in L'Ouverture.

FEAR OF EXPOSURE CAUSES MURDER Frank Lee 16, Colored Declares That White Youth Killed His Father and Sister, Fearing They Would Expose Burglary. (Associated Negro Prese) Chicago, Ill.—The police have wrung a confession from Frank Lee, 16, a colored boy who declared that Charles Shader, 19, white, killed his father and sister because he feared they would expose his operations as a murderer. The sister Margaret was 16 years old. Charles told the police that she killed herself because her parents objected to her marrying Lee. Shader was a white man, and he did it in self-defense. He denied killing his sister. The police Shader also had a hand in the murder of Policeman Harry J. Buse, last January. Both youths confessed to more than 150 robberies in the last few years.

THE VIRGINIA MISSIONARY BAPTIST CONVENTION Richmond, Virginia March 8, 1922. My Dear Brethren: The Virginia Missionary Baptist Convention will hold its Fifty-fifth Annual Session with the Loyal Street Church, Danville, Rev. C. T. Murry, B. D. Past, Wednesday. May the Bath through Sunday be enjoyed. The Rafter and Church of Danville are making every necessary preparation to make this session a mountain ton one from point of entertainment. Permit me to thank you for the very splendid way in which you responded to the semi-annual session assembled for the purpose of dedicating Thought. Tough your loyalty this effort was a glorious success, assembling representatives from seven State Conventions and placing on the table four thousand dollars, which were greatly needed to put the finishing touches on the new building and pay off some contracts already due. This has been made easier with the investment for Colored Baptists particularly and the cause of Christian Education generally. This building cost us considerably more than one hundred thousand dollars. We paid while it was in course of erection more than fifty thousand dollars. We still own fifty thousand in it, you have to carry it is for every church and individual to do their very best for the coming session. Every church should aim to bring for all conventional purposes not less than one dollar for each member you carry on your roll. Let our business and professional men, who must of course be involved in our work we teach, make special contribution. All individual contributions will be listed in the minutes separately. There are in our Foreign Mission Treasury, four thousand dollars. We have promised you as soon as we have received five thousand dollars to help in Africa, and we will credit our convention, if not fail to send a large sum for Foreign Missions and any money you may have idle for this purpose in your Church, District Conventions or Associations. The good people of Virginia should be known in Africa. It is our desire that a large number of laymen generally shall attend the conventions and take a larger hand in the affairs of the denomination; thus we have arranged for a layman's hour Friday morning and a business conference Friday afternoon, May 12. At these times, a program will be turned over to our laymen. Let a larger number of laymen come; the King's Business calls for you. Brethren—these are peculiar times, the winds are contrary and the waves lash in terrible fury against our bark. Every man to his oars, and with mighty prayer and desperate faith strokes, let us drive on in the name of God, and we will stand with a way, even unto the end of the ages." Let this holy strife not cease until oppressed and suffering people are extricated from the throes of death and danger; of illiteracy, poverty and dissention and lifted to those lofty heights; when we can present to our great God, a peculiar people thoroughly revenge, to the lump in their heart, to the pride of identity for truth and righteousness, ready to minister with efficient hand to every known human need. If you cannot be present in Danville, the president not later than May 3. Rev W W. Deener and Wife, Evangelists and Gospel Singers, of Washington, D. C., closed a three weeks revival at the A. M. E.

ITZWATER. D. D- w. B. ITZWATER. The Rocky Bible Institute of Chicago.) Copyright, 1923, Western Newspaper Union LESSON FOR APRIL 2 —A Ruler Who Relied on God. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —The Source of Personal and National Power. 1. Asa's Reformation (vv. 1-5). Asa was the grandson of Ichobonam, Both his grandfather and father favored idolatry, but in spite of this record of his ancestors, Asa had a will of his own, an, though young when he came to the throne, imputation of his ancestors brought great good. He not only had the handicap of the idolatry and immortality fostered by the two former kings, but he had to contend against the influence of his mother who had encouraged immoral worship (1 Kings 15:13). In order to carry out his reformatory measures he had to wrest control of the church. Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of the Lord (v. 2). 1. Cleared the land of idolatrous emblems and images (vv. 3, 5). (1) Strange altars. These were the altars devoted to other gods. (2) High places. These were places where unlawful sacrifices were offered. (3) Broke down the images. These were upright stones connected with idolatrous worship. (4) Cut down the groves. These were trees or poles connected with tree worship. He had all these relics of idolatry destroyed in Jerusalem and other cities throughout his kingdom. 2. Commanded Judah to seek the Lord (v. 4). He knew that if the reformation was to be effective it must be by the positive seeking after and worshiping of God, accompanied by obedience to His commandments. Detractive work avoids little unless followed by constructive. 3. Ha'as Defensive Preparations (vv. 6-8). 1. Built fortified cities (v. 6). The cities are not named, but the meaning, doubtless, is that it was a general system of defense which involved the cities at strategic points. 2. He erected walls about the cities (v. 7). These were usually of stone. Upon the walls were observation towers from which the position and movements of the enemy could be seen, and from which defensive warfare could be waged. 3. Made gates and barred them (v. 10). The army he assigns for these defensive preparations was that they had sought the Lord God. Those who really trust God will make every effort to provide defense. 4. Had an army of spearmen (v. 3). These spearmen were also protected with large shields. The army was made up of 480,000 brave men. They were prepared to wage an offensive as well as a defensive war. 113. Aasa's Victory Over Zerah, the Ethiopian (v. 9-12). 1. Asa set the battle in army (v. 10). He would meet the enemy, do first battle a disposition of his means of defense. This was wisdom on his part. Intelligent faith moves the possessor to do first that which is within his power. 2. Asa's prayer (vv. 11, 12). He cried unto the Lord. He sought the source of national power. In this prayer note (1) his conscious helplessness. As he faced the Egyptian army two to one against him, he was clearly conscious of his impotency. The first requisite in obtaining help from God is conscious weakness. The Christian must self-distrust and faith in God. (2) Appeals to God for help. He knew that though they were helpless before the mighty enemy, with God's help they could win the victory. One man with God is a majority. (3) Reposes faith in God. The word "rest" means to lean upon—to cast the entire weight upon. In the measure that we realize our need of support will we lean hard upon God. (4) Advanced courageously. He went forth depending upon God to fight for him. Real faith does not wait until it sees its way clear, but goes forth expecting God to clear the way. (5) Hung himself upon God. (6) Changed their posture. His cause was God's cause. If God has taken us for His people, and if we have taken Him for our God, no enemy can prevail against us. May we experimentally say, "Thou art my God," and hear Him say, "I am thy God." The Kryptians smitten (v. 12). The enemy God before Irreal and could not resurrect themselves. Love, Faith and Hope. A little love from day to day, and strength enough to preach it; a glimpse of heaven along the way. And faith and hope to reach it. Console Thyself. If thou suffer injustice, console thyself, the true unhappiness is in doing it—Demogcritus. Mistake Gold for Good. Misers mistake gold for good, whereas it is only a means of obtaining it—Rochefoucauld.

On the first day, the teams were on the alert, ench wondering at, and trying to “get the number of the other.” After | winning the toss, which sent the “Blue and Gold” to the ficld, the “Red and White” boys be- gan'to score, making three runs in their half of the first inning and holding their opponents scoreless in the second half, But nothing dismayed, the "Blue and Gold” boys enme back again with the resolve to score, and they did, but after scoring until they had got- ten ahead, they became careless and overconfident, and as a result, made errors. thereby giving the gime to the “Red and “White” boys, who marched honte with a 12-6 victory. ‘The batteries were, Townsend and Kelly, for the “Blue and Gold,” Chambers and Miller for the "Red and White.” , Somewhat, taken aback, the “Blue and Gold” boys went home, had a war talk, and resolved to win, and on the next day easily ran away’ with a 22-10 voctory.

Tt was with the Jast-named production that they ap- peared so successfuly in London. George Walker died in 1907 and Wil- Viams featured alone in “Mr. Lode of Coal." In 1911 he made a Zieg- field contract under which he appear- ¢ din “The Follies” for ten years.
