MOTON CANVASSING FOR THOSE INTERESTED IN IT
Tuskegee Institute, Ala., March 1
"Citizens' Military Training Camps will be established for Negro citizens this summer, according to a statement made by Secretary of War, John W. Reeves. This opportunity, within the Department, principal of the Tuskegee Institute.
Following the close of the recent war, systematic military training was offered to white men and boys, thru the establishment of what was known as Citizens' Military Training Camps. This opportunity, for some reason, was denied our group. Realizing that the population of the United States, and that during the past war furnished at least ten per cent of the American population, that of another war, they would be called to furnish like quotas. Dr. Moton requested the Secretary of War to establish camps for the training of our group, that they too, might enjoy the advantage of military training along with other American citizens.
SECRETARY WEEKS' REPLY
In reply Secretary of War Were wrote as follows: "I am pleased to inform you that plans are now under way for the establishment of Citizen Military Training camp for colored candidates. He further stated that such a camp would probably be established also in the Fourth Corps Area, Fort McPherson, Georgia. The camps will be one month's duration and will offer many recreation and physical training. Expenses to and from the camps and during the period of training will be furnished by the government. Dr. Moton is canvassing the country in the effort to ascertain the number of students interested in this movement, and is urging all interested to write him.

Norfolk Orator Speaks to 2,000 Persons in Goldsboro, N. C., Who Acclaim Him.
(Special To Journal and Guide)
Goldsboro, N. C.—More than two thousand persons of both races attended the great mass meeting站ed in the court house here today by a representative committee of white and colored people. The principal address of the occasion was delivered by Chas. Stitchell Morris, Jr., of Norfolk, Va. was officially welcomed to the city by his Honor Mayor Edgar H. Bain.
The noted orater spoke from the theme, "The Bright Side of a Dark Subject," which he considered from three viewpoints, namely, what the Southern white man is doing for the Southern Negro; second, the Southern Negro is doing for each other, the Southern Negro is doing for himself. Mr. Morris made an eloquent and brilliant plea for inter-racial understanding, for the white man and the inferiority of the Negro, but on the "Sure basis of equality of all the sons of men." He begged each race to refrain from hating the other on the simple ground and color, reminding his auditors that men rose suspicious to all petitions under "theater."
The noted orator was induced to come here by a committee consisting of Mr. R. J. Frederick, K. H. Hall, W. L. Beezer and other influential citizens. He left on Monday morning for a brief visit to South Carolina. In this you notice that he was invited by a group of white ladies to return to Aiken, and speak under the auspices of the white Chamber of Commerce in the opera house, following his address there three weeks ago. He said that this marks an occasion the hardest he has ever been announced that the invitation had been accepted, and that he is expected to speak during the early half of March. Mr. Morris will spend the next (Continued on Page Five.)
Odd Pickings
Parkersburg, Va.—One cold day last week Mrs. Hattie Johnson sat down by an open gas fire to warm her feet. A few minutes later she was dazed by an off the tip of one of her shoes. Her toes were so badly injured that amputation was necessary. She has lied in Circuit Court here for $5,000 damages, charging the barber for the electric chair, walked into a barber shop in Atlantic City for a shave. The barber was a colored man. After the judge had seated himself in the chair and was prepared to scrape his razor vigorously, turned and held it above his Honor's throat preparatory to making a downward stroke, when he said, "I'm going to battle to the chair." The judge says the barber wore a threatening look and the situation was tense. The barber then said, "He wasn't any good anyhow." Not until he was out of the shop, however, did the latter feel absolutely safe.
Cleveland, Ohio—Edward R. Brandon, colored, who lived in poverty died about one year ago, leaving an estate of $16,648, and no heirs. The county, auditor claimed that his entire estate attorney were paid should revert to the state to be credited to the country school fund. Undertaker James A. Rogers, colored, did not agree with the death of the dead man with a $4,700 bronze coffin and a mournment for $2,200. Added to this the wide-awake undertaker added the seeming insignificant items of $872 for a mournment of $465. The county officials are yet wondering how to get even with the undertaker.
Fork Union, Va.—A young colored man was on trial at Alstor State Jail last week as a result of drawing a pistol on another resident of the village. Robert Johnson, a brother of the accused, was listening to the evidence, when a statement did not like, which he admitted by knocking the witness down. A general melee followed, well nigh resulting in breaking up the court. The magistrate ordered Johnson but before he could be seized he escaped from the building followed by a trail of bullets from the constable's revolver.
Richmond, Va.—An ordinary looking well, thirty feet deep, from which corn liquor was being run off was discovered last week at Montpelier. County, and John Bolles, white, was arrested. Tom Shelton, colored, Nuckels confederate, made his escape.
Kinston, N. C.—A few weeks ago Sheriff Arden Taylor was taking Sam Slade arrested in a room for complicity in a robbery, back to Kinston. The sheriff and his prison were riding a Southern train taking 35 miles an hour. Slade was handcuffed with his hands in front of him. "Suddenly he ed and "let" him plunging head first through a toilet window windowed through a toilet window the sheriff requested the instructor to stop the train. The latter replied, "No use, he is a dead nigger." Upon the instance of the officer the man was brought to a stop. No one saw Slade pick himself up. Cars were picked and the immediate motherhood searched, but there was no trace of the prisoner. He disappeared completely and evidently escaped almost certain death.

THREE ENGAGE IN DESPERATE SHOOTING FRAY
Farmer Standing in Doorway Opens Fire on Armed Visitors Who in Turn Shoot to Kill; Are Captured at Sawmill.
OF THE TROUBLE
New Bern, N. C.—Bad blood existing between William Bryant, a colored farmer, who resides near Clarks and Joe and John Leary, brothers, also colored, terminated in a triangular shooting affray here this week with almost fatal results.
According to the story obtained by the sheriff, Bryant and the Leary brothers had some disagreement with which the farmer was ordered by the brothers to leave Clarks. A note was found in his pocket bearing the warning to "leave Clarks immediately unless he possesses the knife" the farmer stood his grounds and refused to leave, evidently preparing himself for trouble.
The Leary's approached Bryant's home. He came to the door with a gun in his hand. One of the brothers manned some of the guns, according to the best version of the shooting. The farmer threw his shooter in position and fired, but missed his aim. The brothers opened fire upon his aim. In his doorway the brothers immediately left the scene after the shooting.
John Leary assumes the full responsibility for shooting the farmer, stating that his brother did not fire. He also says, however, that both men shot him.
The two men were arrested at the
museum where they were awaiting
to be paid off.

Rev. Bowling Warns That Secret Sins May Find Open Expression in Simple Acts.
"You must be careful how you harbor secret sins in your life. Your hankering after sin may some day disclose itself in a simple act which will bring disgrace and shame. Sin gets to you, and you are surely make itself known. A lily look, an improper word or act, evident enjoyment of a smutty act, or some other single simple act may tear away the veneer and reveal the innermost secret; striking lessons drawn from the story of Lot's lot wife by Rev. Richard H. Bowling, the master of the First Baptist Church, in a special sermon to the Know Nothing Club last Sunday night. Taking as a text Gen. 19:26 "The woman Who Was used by a look."
MRS. LOT'S LOOK HER UNDOING "But Mrs. Lot's last look was not only a revealing look, disclosing as did mighty women in her son. Sodom it was a disobedient look. To look back upon Sodom that morning was against an express command, And Mrs. Lot cannot be excused on the ground, the ground was from a fine a 'peeping Tom' accused of unlawful trespass in peering into a lady's bedroom. And so no plea will save a sinfully inclined woman from the judgment of
"But such a look is yet possible. You may turn the eyes of your heart contrary to the warnings of Scripture, conscience and friendly advice. And that today will be sinful disobedience as in the day of the doom of Sodom. "REMINDED OF SODOM'S FATE"
"Finally, be reminded that some awful fate overtook Lots's wife. She left Sodom that early morning along with her fleeing husband and ened daughter, whom they reach Zoar ame, that the distant mount, which is no longer with the family. One last lingering look and the catastrophe that swept the cities of the Plain swept her into death and judgment . . . A look may reveal a hidden chance that an outwake manifestation of disobedience will a sinful look may hasten one disaster and hell."
"The Woman Whose Love Upset the Plans of a woman," Bowling's special sermon to young women this Sunday night.
Mr. Lonnie Williams, one of Norfolk's business men, is at present holding a position with the Reserve Steel Fleet, U. S. Shipping Boat. He will be out of town until June 1st, after that time will be in Norfolk for a few days, then he will visit Washington, Philadelphia, New York and Baltimore to make plans for the Amusement Auditorium which will be hosted on the corner of Queen and Church streets.

FILIBUSTERERS KILL THE SHIPPING BILL
FILIBUSTERERS KILL THE SHIPPING BILL
Measure Suffers From Dose of Same Potion That Ended Life of Dyer Bill.
Washington, D. C., Feb—Final objections for the administration ship subsidy bill, scheduled to take place on yesterday, were deferred by an extended speech in its support by Senator Ransdell, Democrat, of Louisiana. However, all are agreed that it is dead.
KILLED BY FILIBUSTER
Death was the result of a filibuster by a coalition of Democrats and progressive Republicans. Senator Jones, Republican, of Washington, in charge of the measure, fought valiantly to prevent the president plied for some decisive action—for a vote on the bill; but the opponents were determined to withhold action on it in the present Congress. And was somewhat analogous to that of the Dyer anti-lynching bill. The death potions in both instances were administered by filibusters. The only difference is that the demise of the anti-lynching bill was more untimely. It was killed a billion years ago, and become the unfinished business of the Senate only to be talked to death.

BITTER FIGHT ON CONFIRMATION OF WALTER COHEN
Coterie of Republicans and President Harding Standing by Colored Nominee and Insist Upon Confirmation.
FREELINGHUYSEN MAKES
A CAUSTIC COMMENT
Washington, D. C., March 1—the nomination of Walter Cohen, as comptroller of customs, port of New Orleans, was rejected by the Senate tonight by a vote of 37 to 25.
Washington, D. C., Feb. 28—A bitter partisan debate over the confirmation of Walter L. Cohen, prominent Negro Republican of Louisiana, to be comptroller of customs at New Orleans, was staged behind closed doors in the Senate last night.
When the nomination was called up for confirmation, Senators Broussard and Anderson of Louisiana, arose and stated that the nominee was personally objectionable to them. This precipitated the debate. Senator Reed Smoot, Republican, of Utah, demanded that the Louisiana Senators state the grounds upon which the nominee was objectionable. Senator Heflin, Democrat, of Alabama, wanted to know by what right Senator Smoot dared ask a Senator what his personal objections are. "It is sufficient for him to state that the nominee is personally objectionable," he said.
Senator Smoot replied that he wanted to be frank about the matter; that he understood that the question of personal objections grew out of some personal differences between a nominee and a Senator—not that a man happened to be of a different background than understood the personal objections to be in the case of Mr. Cohen.
Senator Willis, Republican, of Ohio, interrupted and took the same position as Senator Smoot. Senator Moses obtained the floor and scored the Hefflin in particular for the attitude assumed in matters in which Negroes are concerned. He was followed by Senators Calder, of New York, Shortridge, of California, and Curtis, of Kansas, that they would vote for the confirmation of Mr. Cohen, the personal objections of the Louisiana senators notwithstanding.
The debate was rather heated. Upon motion of Senator Curtis, the Senators notwithstanding, the matter still pending.
Senators Curtis and Lodge on yesterday morning had a conference at the White House with President Harding in regard to the Cohen nomination. He told them that he had no regard whatever for senatorial courtey in a case where the objections of a senator are based on color and that he desired Mr. Cohen confirmed.
Senator Frelinghausen, of New Jersey, made the following statement:
"I do not give a d—for Louisiana senators who would put the Republican party in hell much less out of power, and we are going to confirm Cohen. He deserves to be treated that way simply because he is a colored man?"
It is expected that final disposition of the Cohen nomination will be made at the next executive session of the Senate. It may be late this afternoon. In the meantime, Henry Lincoln Johnson, Georgia member of the Republican national committee's Attorney General, special assistant to the Attorney General, and Gilchrist Stewart, of New York, ar polling Republican senators with a view to whipping recalcitrants in line through their constituents.

The Eagle's Quartette then rendered some unique and entertaining selections which were very pleasing to the audience as well as the violin solo by Mr. Rob Ase and a Dunbar selection by Miss Grace Rivers. The singing of the choir of the North Street A. M. E. Church was also one of the stellar attractions of the occasion. The banjo solo by Mr. Kenneth Dunston brought reflections of long ago memories of the old banjo held its greatest chord in music lovers. A solo by Mrs. Julia Foster gives the hearty approbation of the listeners, and the skillful playing of the Lyric Orchestra proved to be a most entertaining feature. At the closing of the program Admiral Andrews of the Navy Yard, paid the participants a glowing tribute and invited them stage a return engagement of the affair to the people only. The invitation was extended to Tuesday night of this week the program was rendered before a packed audience and was enthusiastically received.—W. Scotland Young.

Burns And Grief
Cause Death
Hertford, N. C.—Mr. Charlie Jones who was severely burned in his home Monday morning died at the hospital in Elizabeth City where he was rushed immediately after the accident
It is believed in the community that grief over the death of his mother attributed to his death. Mr. Jones' mind seemingly became unbalanced after the death of his mother, it is said. Monday morning his nephew went to school, leaving him in bed and informing him that he was going. A short while after a man driving a fish cart passed the house and noticed that it was afire. Mr. Jones was found walking out of the house burning, and making no attempt to secure assistance to put out the fire, or even given notice that the house was burning.

In The Land Where Christ Lived
REV, LONG ENDS
SPECIAL SERMONS
nue Sunday With a Strong
Discourse on The Pale Horse;
Large Crowd Hears Sermon.
A large congregation listened atten-
tively to the final number of the se
ries of sermons which have been de-
livered by Hey. Long since the hrs
Sunday in February.
‘The’ subject discussed was. “The
Pale Horse,” which symbolized death,
Having made a survey of the three
preceeding sermons, Rev. Long
launched “into the diseussion of the
subject, just’ mentioned.» ‘The, leséon
‘whieh jhe taught under the “White
Horse,” was that where civie and po-
litical’ justice reigned there would be
‘widespread peace, happiness and pros-
perity,....Prom the “Red Horse,” he
drew the lesson that where civie and|
political injustice prevailed, that na
tion could expect revolution and even
civil war; from the “Black Horse," he
drew out the fact that evils’ and
Wickedneses as well “as. oppression
once winked at or allowed to go un-
restrained develop into a power for}
unrighteousness, which cannot be
easily subdued. From the “Pale
Horse," he deducted the truth that
every. nation which exalts itself
against God and persista in rebellion
shall be brought low, for righteous
ness exalteth a-nation, but sin is a|
eproach to any people.
He further added’ that these same
principles work alike in church and
nthe individual life. ‘The church
vhich guffers its doctrines and. prin-|)
iples to become corrupt without seek-|
ng to purify itself shall awake to fnd|
self not a virile. energetic institu.
ion, but one which is pale, sickly and|
ying and therefore the church which |
nrist meant to be an aggressive war-| |
jor has to be on the defensive and|
se9 its power for conquest, 3
As to the individual life, the speak-|

young man. Rev. Henderson at once lifted his audiobook, for all hour or longer held it enveloped and spell-bound, so much so that when he concluded it seemed as if he had been speaking for about ten minutes only and everybody regretted" he had finished. The sword of his address was manifold: his life, life and grander and the dependency of all on it. His courtesy was elegant, his voice clear, and lucid, and his delivery masterful, convinicing and flowery, including oratorical flights and figures of speech. He would sway his hand whenever and when he needed, for man of the moment experience, its doubtful sound could be found. Rev.

To a grave so far away:

Loving hearts will always linger,
Around the grave where you are laid.
How we miss you darling Major, only God
can tell.
And since you have gone before us,
May you be a guiding star.
That will lead our hearts to Jesus,
That may never stay afar.

GEORGIA INDICTS 42;
CONVICTS 4 LYNCHERS
GEORGIA INDICTS 42;
CONVICTS 4 LYNCHERS
Sets Best Record Toward Law Enforcement in of Year 1922. Sentiment Changing.
Petersburg, Va.—A mass meeting of the citizens of Petersburg was held on Tuesday night at Gillfield Baptist church under the auspices of the Henry Williams and Stephenson-Jordan Bible classes. The church was well filled with interested listeners, all of whom were desirous to help to bring about complete amicable relations between the races. Dr. J. M. Normandy, President of the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute was the principal speaker. Dr. Gandy spoke enthusiastically on the subject. His sane and thoughtful utterances were based an scientific facts concerning the inter racial conditions, past and present, which have and do exist in the South.
A need for organized efforts in the city of Petersburg, to bring about better feeling between the races, was based by the speaker upon the facts of the race, and the other local communities; that the Southern Socialological Congress, the University Race Commission, and the Phelps-Stokes Fellowship, all of which take in the entire South, and are sponsored and carried on by the leading white citizens of the South and North, are studying scientifically the race relations of the South and North, a peaceful and same method of dealing with the race relations.
As second point, Dr. Gandy showed what has been accomplished through the efforts of these organized bodies. He showed that the state of Georgia has taken a decided change in its methods of dealing with those who were 1920s there were 437 lynchings in that state, and one indictment; in 1922 there were eight lynchings, 22 indictments, and four convictions.
The third idea emphasized the fact that the Negro must do his part in helping on this era of good will; and it is only by the exercising of the same principles that any permanent good will be accomplished. An evolutionary rather than a revolutionary procedure is the most effective find of action.
This young lady gives all the credit for her beautiful hair and long hair as well as for EXELENT preparation.

Unpublished History of Football and Baseball
:: IN THE THEATRES
(By J. M. HARRISON)
Besides the Red Clairs and Lancastras, there were the Stonewalls, Huntersville Tappers, Virginia Batters and Quebecs. In those days these teams fostered as much bitter rivalry as Norfolk and Portsmouth today. After the games were the in-visible fights. The Bute street boys had as their natural enemies the Cumberland street boys and
Hills and Lancaster, these were the Stonewalls, Huntsville Tappers, Virginia Batters and Quebecs. In those days these teams fostered as much bitter rivalry as Norfolk and Portsmouth today. After the games were the inexpensive fights. The Bute street boys had as their natural enemies the Cumberland street boys and living in one section would have chips on their shoulders for those of other sections. There was a team down town known as the Athletics and to go in their territory was the occasion for disorderly retreats. A team from Norfolk playing Portsmouth usually broke the speed laws returning home.
BOYS DIFFERENT THEN
Despite the fact that fights would invariably follow our games, I do not recall any weapons such as guns and knives being brought into play. Boys then fought fairly and loved to fight. Today a boy will use a gun or knife on the slightest provocation, many times with fatal results. Policemen then, used to use a sort of "curfew" influence. When the nine o'clock gun fired, the cop on the beat used to chase us home.
VIRGINIA BATTERS
"Priest" Thomas has kindly presented me with a lineup of the Virginia Batters, his old team, which follows: George Williams, Jim Ames, Elijah Hunt, Tom Smith, Ed Nottingham, Charlie Old, Fred Minkley, and "Priest" Thomas. Thomas who is an attorney, was one of the pitchers of that team.

The Greater Norfolk Dramatic Company, under the W. W.

Gloria Swanson and Rudolph Valentino
Gloria Swanson and Rudolph Valentino, Paramount stars, will be seen at the Colonial Theatre, Portsmouth Monday and Tuesday in a new Paramount picture, "Beyond the Rocks." This picture is based on Elinor Glynn's famous novel of the same name which scored a big hit several years ago. Rudolph Valentino, who supported Dorothy Dalton in "Moran of the Lady Letty," is her leading man, and he heads an unusual strong supporting cast of players. Gloria Swanson is the most famous actor on the screen today while Rudolph Valentino has won fame as being the most handsome actor on the screen. If you have never seen the
mous sum of twenty cents, but no team was affluent enough to boast of more than one. "Duck" Davis could smite one a mile. Our "outfits consisted of mother's stockings and gloves. Enviied indeed was he who had a cotton flannel home-made suit, was a star and a hero. Every vacant lot was in an improvised ball ground and "over the fence was out." I recall having knotted a liner thru one of the new stained glass windows of St. John's A. M. E. Church. That game broke up immediately, eighteen times. Dr. Edward E. Field, for whom I drove a buggy, paid for the glass out of my wages.
"HAM" WILLIAMS A FAVORITE EVERYWHERE
"Ham" Williams, my old pitcher who died recently at Portsmouth, was one of the best liked players I ever saw. He was a favorite everywhere and was to colored baseball what "Rube" Waddell and Nick Altrock was to white, especially in the role of comedy. He had speed, control and a pace that was bewildering at all times, and when in form was a hard hard man to beat. He always wore a smile and his funny antics made him laugh. He was there, have seen him try out his comedy by pitching widely, and when I would "cuss" him out, would yell "Alright Piggy I'll get him," and either strike out his man or allow him to make a puny hit. At Atlantic City, Everett Maher, one of the wealthiest men, then owner of the Inlet Hotel, adopted "Ham" and almost alienated his affection from me. When "Ham" was with Mr. Maher, he would kid me by not even speaking to me. We used to joke each other about our respective ability and say, "If it had not been for me, you would never have been able to play long arms and hands, ill-shaped and good natured, withal, he was somewhere in the At Bryn Mawr and Atlantic City we were known as the "Meat Battery"—"Ham" and "Piggy."

Freshman Class of High School To Present Play
"The College Chap," a drama in three acts and sixteen characters, will be presented by the Freshman Class of the Booker T. Washington High School, Wednesday evening, March 7. Dave Crave fails at college but betrays the rebuke of Madge who he loves and who is a historian, he exposes the rascality of Madge's father. He later becomes a hotel manager and wins Madge.
Miss Antonell Hines as Madge and Scott Briscoe as Dave Crane are very good. Clarance Snead as the talky traveling salesman cannot be beat. Estelle Johnson as Sallie Crane is very impulsive. Clarence Willy as Art Wimpel is certainly the warmest person in the Virginia Bynum as Samuel and Jane Crane are fatherly and motherly souls. As the nervous Mrs. Mortimer Jones-Brown, Augusta Tilley is very good. Other characters are: Seth Hines, Winston Tylier; Elijah Gooding, Wilbur Phillips; Clarach Stray,
