Norfolk Journal and Guide The Times Are Out Of Joint; Too Much Disregard For Law, Says Commencement Speaker Virginia's Leading Weekly Rev. Dr. H. H. Proctor Speaks Of The Birth Throes Of A New Era At Hampton Finals. St. Phillips Prize Awarded. EIGHTY GRADUATES RECEIVE DIPLOMAS Hampton, Va.—The Rev. Dr. Henry Hugh Proctor, pastor of the Nazarene Congregational Church, of Brooklyn, N. Y., delivered the principal address at the Hampton Institute commencement exercises, which were televised by the college question, "What is the Matter with the World?" Principal James. E. Gregg presented diplomas to a class of 80 (41 boys and 39 girls), including four graduates of the College of Annie Ruth Baker, of Bassets, Va.; Mabel Richardson Blow, of Norfolk, Va.; Ulysses Beatrice Collins, of Columbia, S. C., and Olivia Stanford White, of Norfolk, Va. He announced that next year he would degree to graduates of the Agricultural School and in the near future degrees to those who finish the four-year collegiate normal course. He added that General Armstrong in 1870 had foreseen the time when Hampton should be prepared to give collegiate instruction. "We are not forsaking," said Dector Gregg, "Hampton standards, Hampton principles in the least. We are not for a moment belittling the great man of the world. We should be in our education and in the life of our democracy." ST. PHILIP'S PRIZ IS AWARDED John Henry Calhoun, Jr., Greenville, S. C., delivered the salutatory. The valedictory oration, "The Contribution of the Individual," was delivered by Arthur Paul Davis, Hampton, Va., who received, at the hands of Doctor Greeg, the St. Philip's Church School annual prize in the school's annual competition in the Hampton class of 1922. The valedictorian referred to the conflict which is now going on between standardization and individualism. He cited the bloodyless revolution in India under the leadership of Gandhi, who, like Ruskin, has been making a vigorous plea for the development of personality and co- operation, the class contributed to the commencement program - William McKinley Hubbard, Richmond, Va. a Croix de Guerre medalist, who played a tuba solo, and Marjorie Josephine Johnson, Cannan, Conn. who sang a soprano solo, "The Swimmer," by BIRTH OF A NEW ERA According to the testimony of many people, stated Doctor Proctor, the times are out of joint, because of the widespread disregard for law, the spasmodic outbreaks of mob violence in certain parts of the country, the breaking down of domestic life, the neglect of the army, the failure of the business world, the rush for pleasure, and the alleged inefficiency of the Church. According to other people, everything is all right, because of the unparalleled philanthropy, the popular diffusion of education, the new spirit of world democracy, the broadening spirit of brotherhood, the construction of the tide of will, and the rising tide of good-will, all over the world. Doctor Proctor stated that the world is simply in the birth throes of a new era, when traditional social lines seem to be snapping, when thrones seem to be tootling, when old things are passing away and all things are being made new people must be awake. He referred to the sacrifice of treasure and toil which has been made for the training of the Hampton Institute graduates, who are called upon to be leaders and not trailers. The Hampton trained men and women must be able "to distinguish between good and bad in the great cross-currents of life and activity, open and unrestricted, and too many distinguish between good and bad." "I am glad to belong to a race," said Doctor Proctor, "for which Lincoln died and Armstrong pleaded; a race that produced Frederick Douglass and Booker-T. Washington: a race that in the first fifty years after its emancipation, removed, abolished, and reduced 76 percent of its illiteracy; a race that, by its genius and thrift, has saved a billion dollars in the first half-century of its emancipation." COMMENCEMENT WEEK The class day program included the following numbers: History; Annie E. Coles, Eaatham, Va.; prophecy, George P. Watley, Jacksonville, Ala.; will, Kate C.

Fitchett, Cape Charles, Va., and Tree Song, words by Bernard Byrd, Dallas, Texas. Doctor Greeng in his baccalaureate sermon on "Doublemindedness" stated that people often try to combine evil with good in their lives and too often sanction with their heads what their hearts disapprove. "The bankrupts disapprove." A guiding principle for mankind" he comes more and more evident with each international conference. Christ's way of fairness and friendliness, of sympathy, courtesy, honesty, courage, and good-will, is seen to be the one straight road to lasting peace; sound prosperity; real success. honorable happiness.

Jones, chairman executive committee of our National Business League, Dr. Emmett J. Scott, for twenty-one years the League secretary, recently tendered his resignation to take effect at once. Duthe and responsibilities as secretary Howard University were given as the result University giving up the League secretaryship, position he has held since the organization was founded by the late Dr. Booker T. Washington HOLD POLICE OFFICERS FOR SHOOTING BOY COURT GIVES "THIRD DEGREE" KNOCK-OUT Supreme Tribunal of Mississippi Reverses Conviction Obtained On Confession Wrung From Accused By Torture. Jackson, Miss.—In the case of Gerard White, a colored youth, 18 years old, against the State of Mississippi, heard by the Supreme Court last week Justice Holden handed down an opinion that a confession obtained from White by brutal and coercive methods could not be used against him in a murder trial, and that the "water curse" and the other confessions from colored men accused of crimes against prominent white people do not reach the end desired, a hanging. White was convicted of the murder of T. H. Gross, a prosperous merchant and postmaster at Hollyridge, Sturnflower county, and sentenced to be hanged. Mr. Gross was found dead on the floor of the house on June 1921. He had been struck on the head with an ax and chopped with a hatchet, the body and the cash drawer had been robbed. The sheriff arrested. White took him to the scene of the murder, conducted an investigation that satisfied him that White was not the murderer and released him. Later he was arrested some of the neighbors of Mr. Gross and again taken to the scene of the crime, and in the presence of the corpse, the doors being locked, when an effort was made to obtain a confession, the boy stoutly denied his guilt, but his hands were tied and he was laid on a bed. Mr. Gross man stood with one foot on his breast, the other on his neck, while others present poured water into his nose. As was anticipated this so-called "water cure" brought the "confession in short order. One Gilbert testified on the trim that the youth was in the house, but the water cure was administered, but nobody else heard it. The boy told his persecutors where the money stolen from Mr. Gross had been hidden, but search failed to reveal it. The accused was then taken to Greenville, and lodged in jail. A few days later, he was willed into the jail, and there it is said again he confessed. In an opinion handed down by Justice Holden, the court sitting en banc, the court says: "We do not hostile to say that a confession obtained under these conditions and circumstances is not free and voluntary. Confessions induced by fear, though not aroused by spoken threats, are nevertheless voluntary, because the judge takes into account that may arise solely from the conditions and circumstances surrounding the confession. The circumstances in this case were such as to convince us that the confession was involuntary." The case was therefore reversed and remanded for a new trial. This decision is construed in this state as a blow to practices that have prevailed here in similar cases from their time. This mob however, possessed one redeeming trait, in that; after securing a confession from the youth it turned him over to the courts to decide which act enabled this High Tribunal to impose a lower subject for its far reaching and courageous decision. COLLEGE FRATS PLAN ANTI-LYNCHING DAY Plan To Hold Nation-Wide Observance Of The Day Through The Pulpit. Washington, D. C.—Colored college fraternities and sororities all over the United States are combining their efforts to hold a national Anti-Lynching Day, when the whole story of the atrocious crime of lynching will be told from every pulpit, and before ovation is called, the fraternial organization in the country. At the Inter-Fraternity Conference recently held in this city a council was formed composed of the four largest colored college fraternities,—the Alpha Phi Alpha, the Kappa Alpha Pi, the Omega Phi Pi and the Delta Phi Pi, and the three colored college sororities,—the Alpha Kappa Alpha, the Delta Sigma Theta and the ota Phi Beta. In order to carry out the recommendations of the conference, the Inter-fraternial Council formed a committee on public affairs to be located at Washington to work out plans whereby the colored colleges and sororities having membership in the college men and women, may join in the effort to better the condition of colored Americans. The fraternities will undertake to promote through their chapters an Anti-Lynching Day and, in this connection they will seek to have a meeting with the fraternity every pulpit; in every city and town in the United States on that day, have every fraternal, religious and social society hold meetings and have a monster circulation and distribution of posters, hand cards and pamphlets, An interview with the Senate Judiciary Committee which now has the Anti-Lynching Day bill; it is being asked at an early date. Life is full of disappointments, and the things the waiter brings to you are more than the things you ordered. FACTORS IN FIGHT ON ILLITERACY IN THE SOUTH The colored race has reduced its percentage of illiteracy in the South to 26.3, leaving only 1,735,000 members of the race who cannot read and write. The above picture shows at the left a typical Southern Negro country school house, and at the right the type of building that is gradually taking its place. Many of these have been erected through the co-operation of Julius Roneswald, Chicago philanthropist, with school authorities and colored patrons, each raising a part of the money. The new building shown above is in Virginia.

CONGRESSMAN DYER WANTS ACTION ON BILL Writes Letter To Senator Knute Nelson Of Judiciary Committee Urging Action. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, has received from Congressman L. C. Yyer, a copy of a letter he wrote to Senator Nelson of the Senate, Judiciary Committee, asking prompt action on the Anti-Lynching Bill. Mr. Dyer's letter says in part: "I feel that the situation is so serious that no delay other than absolutely necessary should be permitted. The most horrible lynchings are now in some of the States of the Union. "The Congress certainly ought to legislate if it has the authority to do so. It is beyond dispute that States are unable to protect citizens of the United States resident in the respective States where lynchings are going on. If the United States Government has no authority under the protection to protect its citizens, as indicated, then that fact should be determined. "Since the House of Representatives believes we have the Constitutional authority, I am in hopes that the Senate will pass the Bill referred to, and I feel sure the Supreme court of the United States will sustain the constitutionality of the Bill. In case it does not think, then we do what has been done in other instances, endeavor to secure an amendment to the Constitution." "The Attorney General of the United States says, he is ready to go to the Supreme Court upon the Bill as passed by the House, and feels satisfied that its constitutionality will be maintained. We disgraced the world over on account of mob law prevailing in many of the States. The Federal Government ought to be able and willing to protect its citizens from such. We command our citizens from every state to fight for the preservation of the Constitution. If we can do that and then not be able to protect them from mobs, we are certainly in a bad way. Something ought to be done. The House has acted, and I do not believe that any effective results can come from any conferences concerning the legislation. If we can do that the matter can then go to conference as provided by the rules of the Senate and of the House." Chas. M. Tucker Not Dead; Report an Error It was stated in last week's issue that Mr. Chas. M. Tucker, formerly of this city, now living in St. Paul, Minn., had lost his life by accidental drowning. It develops that the report was erroneous. Mr. Tucker had been overtaken by a storm and had taken refuge in a cavern. Failing to show up after the storm friends wired his relatives here that he had been drowned. Later Mr. Tucker turned up alive and well and sent out some wires that corrected the reports of his death. His hosts of friends here are delighted to hear that the report of his death was erroneous.

Admiral Andwers, commandant of the Norfolk Navy Yard insists on nothing short of a thorough investigation of the circumstances leading up to the fatal shooting of Freeman Jennings Vaughan, a yard policeman, on last Sunday. A naval inquiry board and Department of Justice agents are working on the case. Dr Sharp (right) and/or yard watchman is being held without bail. Reports have it that of late thefts from the naval Annex have been quite numerous and on Sunday afternoon Mr. Vaughan was detained to the annex on a special watch. While on duty he saw policeman Short whose boat was around building 33, far from the warehouse in company with a marine attempt to enter a warehouse at the annex on Vaughan's post. Vaughan accosted them and asked them not to enter the warehouse taking policeman Short by the arm. When he did this a fight ensued resulting in Vaughan's death. It is stated that an examination of his body showed that he had been struck behind the car and shot at the temple. Vaughan died at the Naval Annex of Vaughan. Several men are being detained for interrogation by the investigator board most of whom, it is said, marines besides one colored man, a watchman at a nearby mill whom it is claimed saw a part of the fight. Froeman Jennigs Vaughan resided at 407 Appomattox St., Berkley Ward. He was the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. J.

SHERIFF SAYS MANHUNTWAS NOT ORDERED Youth Escaped Death By Miracle When Run Down And Shot By Five Officers Of The Law In Carolina. HE WAS CHARGED WITH VAGRANCY Special to The Journal and Guide Elizabeth City, N. C.-Preliminary hearing in the celebrated case of the State against police Captain George Twiddy, Horatio Seymour, deputy sheriff of Camden county; Ralph Cuthrell, of Camden-Lindwood Cart- wright, of Camden and L. T. Sawyer, of Camden, of David Overton, Jr. a sixteen year old colored boy, on the morning of April 2, was held Tuesday in Recorder's court, and the men were held in bonds of $250 each for the grand jury at the September term of Superior court. BRUTAL CRIME The shooting of the boy who was charged with nothing more serious than vagrancy and petty thefts, was one of the most brutal acts in the police annals of this city and county, besides office and this compartment, who warrant for the arrest and took it upon themselves to arrest him without authority. THE BOY'S STORY Young Overton told his story on the witness stand, explaining how on Sunday morning of April 2, near the old shack on Body Road, he was wounded by a shot fired from a group of men who came to that vicinity in the woods. Thursday he wandered in the woods, until he came to his father's farm and was put to bed by his mother, the court was told. That afternoon, he testified, the elder Overton went to town and told Sheriff Rold of the affair and took the boy into custody and locked him up with where Dr. C. B. Williams County Health Officer examined him and sent him to the Community Hospital. Dr. John Saliba performed an operation on young Overton at 5:30 o'clock that Thursday afternoon, removing the body at that time. Dr. Saliba held out little hope for recovery, but the boy rallied, the doctor testified. Following Dr. Saliba on the stand came Bill Jones, who said that Cuthrell, one of the defendants, told him that he was a member of the party. Police Officer Anderson then testified that Police Captain Twiddy told him that he was present on the occasion, but that he did not shoot the boy. UNAUTHORIZED, SAYS SHERIFF Sheriff Reid testified that no one had authority to go after Overton and that he had been made to him of the shooting. The State rested its case with Sheriff Reid, although several witnesses remained. No evidence of a rebuttal nature was introduced by the defense. Prosecutor Sawyer, in summing up, declared that he thought the case was one of the most important in Pasquale's case. He said that the offense was such that the affair should be investigated by the grand jury. He was bitter in his denunciation of Police Captain Twiddy, whom he characterized as a man leading a band of gunmen in a man hunt without having a warrant for the youth's arrest. Mary Jeydell, for the defense, asked Judge Spence to dismiss who had no part in the affair, according to the testimony, but Judge Spence decided to hold all the defendants.

Harris Of The American Legion States That Matter After Discharge Are Unfit. According to Mr. C. H. Harris, an official of the American Legion headquarters at Indianapolis, in charge of ex-soldier claims against the government, there are two suicides among ex-soldiers that the largest per centage of these men have been discharged from government hospitals as cured but after a struggle in civil life to maintain an existence for a while, their nerves soon succumb to the effects of shell shock and life in the trenches and they take a road to final committing suicide. The Legion is preparing a petition to Congress to liberalize the Sweet bill. This bill now makes it impossible for an ex-soldier to obtain government treatment for war injuries which show up more than two years after discharge from the service. This might easily be from four to five years after discharge before any disturbing symptoms show themselves. PORT NORFOLK.

AGENTS WANTED JASON LEE JASON LEE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON Instructor of Theology and the English Bible, Virginia Seminary and College, Va. GOLDEN TEXT—Be not afraid because of them for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith Jehovah. 1. Jeremiah's Warning to King Zedekiah—Jeremiah 37:11-21. "From Jehoiakim to Zedekiah. After the miserable death of King Jehoiakim, his son Jehovahichin ("Jehovah will uphold") ascended the throne of Judah. He was only eighteen years old (2 kings 28:4); only eighteen years old accorded to 2 Chron. 36:9); he was old enough to show a matter as corrupt as that of his father. He reigned for only three months and ten days when he was captured by Nebuchadnezzar, king byylon, and carried off. eightteen years old accession to Chron. 869; but he was enough to show a character as corrupt as that of his father. He reigned for only three months and ten days when he was captured by Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, and off into exile with his wives, his mother, his palace servants, the dignitaries and skillful artisans of Judah. Zedekiah (Jehovah my righteousness) was the name given by Nebuchadnezzar to Mattanian, the uncle of Joichoian, brother of Judah. He was twenty-one years when the began to reign on the throne of Judah and he reigned eleven years. Zedekiah was guilty of three great sins: 1st, ingratitude, he rebelled against his lord and friend Nebu- hah, 2nd, land, the king turned a deaf ear to land, and 3rd, the prophet; 3rd, he put his trust in Egypt, the arm of flash. Jeremiah speaks boldly the Word of God, when the king inquired whether there any word from Jehovah. For though he was armed with the army of Chaldeans, etc., the wounded men among them would rise up every man in his tent, and burn this city with fire." Irijah accused Jeremiah of falling away to the Chaldeans, and was cast into prison by the princes of Babylon, and prophet fetched from the prison, and asked him secretly if there was any word from God. Jeremiah answered, "Thou shalt be delivered into the land of the King of Babylon." At the urgency of the story of Jeremiah Zedekiah releases the prophet from prison. "Jeremiah teaches us the duty of loyalty to truth. In the beginning of his Majesty, Blutarch says, "There is nothing more important for a man to receive, or more noble for a god to grant, than truth. Socrates died someone more renounce it, and that person becomes so adduced by modern spirit for modern spirit, especially as it is exhibited in science, makes of all us 'seekers after truth.' We do not need to be urged to respect truth and appears in the stones and in the running brooks, but we need to be urged to loyalty to it as it appears in the scriptures of God." J. D. Burton, "Jeremiah Cast Into The Dunn—Jereh. 38:1-6. "The highest courage you can over know is to dare to do your duty." Wayland. Jeremiah dared to do his whole duty: he prophesied bodily the Word of Jehovah. "Thus saith Jehovah. He that abideth in this city shall die by the sword, by the famine, by the pestilence; but he that tooth forth forth to the Childsears shall live, his life shall be unto him for a prey." So then am I become your enemy by telling you the truth?— The plain speaking of the prophet ancestor the princess. They requested Jeremiah, "This man weakeneth the hands of the fighting man of the city, and he seeketh not the welfare of this people but hurt." Zeekiah was a weakling, a man with the heart of a mouse. He rendily gave Jeremiah the prophet he beunished. "The king was afraid of Jeremiah, afraid of God, afraid of his princes, afraid of his enemies, afraid even to be himself—Emily Huntley." After the princess threw Jeremiah in the dungeon in which there was no water, Jeremiah sank in the mire. It is difficult to imagine a connection between this incident and the sixty-ninth Psalm: I sink in the mire, where there is no bottom, deliver me out of the mire, that I sink not: Let not the sinking its mouth upon me." (Stanley.) 3. Jeremiah Rescued From the Dungeon—Jere. 387-13. Travelers to the higher Alps sometimes rise to heights; so great that they see beneath them the clouds rolling, the lightning flashing, and the rain falling in to rents; but the mountain peaks on which they stand are above the storm and are bathed in the ray of unclouded sunshine. Such is the case of those who make God their refuge. They are in unbroken light in undisturbed peace, and in unfailing joy."—Rev. R. S. McArthur, D. I. God's man is always hard by. He comes on the scene, at the right time. Ebed-melech, an Ethiopian was God's man sent to rescue God's prophet. These men have done evil in all that they have done to Jerusalem: He. And fieldmen dungeon and likely to die. And fieldmen Zedekiah commanded the enqueue of men and rescue the prophet. Every man under the sun is in debt to the black man. He is the world's friend. "It is Ebed-melech, a foreigner, not one of the chosen people, a palace official knowing well what vengeance may be exposed to, who appeals to the insolute king and rescues Jeremiah from his miserable skin of skin nor crocodile with grace has as free an entry into the heart of the Samaritan as into the heart of the Jew, and Ebed-melech is moved to kindness when the Jews are cruel every man is capable of love and holiness, and we should reverence man as a potential saint." — N. R. M. Meyer. BRIGGSOGRAMS "A friend in need is a friend indeed." The Jew is not the only race wearing a man's shirt, succeeded in time of trouble. God is concerned about the welfare of his people, and his people are unavailable all the ways. Some men hate you when you tell Woman's Corner Conducted by MIRIAM DIXON Women Everywhere Seattle has elected two women to the city council. Capetown: May 31.—Natives of the Congo are now able to purchase wives as low as eighty-seven cents. Before the war the price never fell below the dollar ($1.00). Questions and Answers I am engaged to a man who is a widower. He has been married three times, has one living wife, from whom he is divorced. Do you think this a too risky proposition. —WOMAN. You have a nerve all right, I would not like being the fourth wife of any man. Is there a way to stop a man from smoking? I have a splendid husband save my life, and I am not the one came it takes so much of his earnings to gratify this habit, that the children and I are almost destitute. —A MOTHER. This problem requires plenty of love and patience; please help through your babies and live in an attitude of prayer. God alone can bring him. Are mulberries ever used for pies or wine? No, you must know how. They must be covered lightly with lemon or some other high flavor to kill the mulberry faintness. Dear Mrs. Dixon: I have a friend with a large family, who goes a long way to show off. I know she is in need and when I hear her say silly things in a bluff it makes me tired. I don't want to be so selfish, weren't so hifalutin. I like this woman and would assist her if I could. —A FRIEND. Readers is this you? Pride is a very foolish thing, it carries its own weight. I don't want to be prepared to assist her when she finds she needs help. A RECONCILLIATION My brother and I have been out of harmony about three years, he avoids me like the plague. I do not mind making up to him as he is the baby who goes with me. We are both men but our mother is dead and I thought you'd help me. —A BROTHER. Be the first to offer your hand at any note he is your brother but do not show a condescending but a loving spirit. HOW DO THEY DO IT? Build houses on small incomes; wear silk stockings all the time; dress their children becoming and nice. Dress fine on eight dollars a week, and go to the movies regularly, and patronize the hairdressers. Is it selfish to think one's husband and children the finest in the world? I am critiqued for this. FUND PARENT. It is all right to think, but decidedly wrong to burden your friends with the idea even the little ones should be spared for fear of teaching selfishness. Please give me a recipe for the blues. I am nineteen. —LILLIAN. Blue at nineteen, what can be the matter? Maybe you are sick, consult a good doctor first and if your health quick, do so scandling; for somebody quick, keep it at it and the blues will soon be on the toboggan. HOMELY HINTS Forgive. and you will be forgiven. Adverse criticism is woman's penknife. Fill the cupboard shelves, you'll be glad next summer. Get about the things you ylan to do this summer, its June. JOURNAL AND GUIDE Boys and Girls BY MIRIAM DIXON The Brownies Club.

Fannie Hurst, author of "Humoresque," showing at the Palace Theatre next Thursday, Friday and Saturday, learned much of the intensely human side from acting as "sob sister" on a newspaper. Just out of college Miss Hurst secured a job on the paper at a time when women reporters were practically unknown. She made good from the start, showing an annnizing facility for writing up the tears and desires of ordinary life in an appealing manner. She wrote a magazine field, and today she is one of the highest paid writers in America. She receives well over $2,000 for a single story. "Humoresque" ran serially in a popular magazine and was later published as a novel. The spirit of the book was transferred to the screen with remarkable fidelity under the direction of Frank Borzage. The work of Alm Raimon, Vera Corcel and Gaston Glass, and Dore Davidson in the chief roles is said to be particularly pleasing. Cosmopolitan Productions made the picture and it is a Paramount release. MAN GETS TWELVE YEARS New Born, N. C.—Judge E. H. Granmer, of Southport, who is conducting criminal court here this week, today accepted the plea of guilty entered by James Gibbs, colored, charged with the manslaughter of Oliver Davis, colored, and sentenced him to serve a term of 12 years minimum and 18 years' maximum at hard labor in the State penitentiary.
