SHOOTS GIRL WIFE THREE TIMES WITH SINGLE BARRELED GUN
WISE COUNTY MAN MUST SERVE YEAR FOR LEADING MOB
Lynching Took Place in 1921. Supreme Court Refused to Entertain in Judgment of the Lower Court. Action is Final.
ANOTHER MEMBER OF MOB BEGINS TWO YEAR TERM
Special to Journal and Guide
Richmond, Va.—General satisfaction is expressed there over the refusal of Governor Trinkle to pardon A. L. Napier, prominent Wise county man, who is under sentence of one year in the penitentiary for participating in a mob which lynched a Negro in 1921. Napier presented a strong petition for pardon, although the judge and commonwealth's attorney, refused to sign same. He had been granted a stay, of execution pending a review of his case by the Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals, which recently declined to interfere.
It was said at the capitol today that the Governor felt that the exercise of clemency in Napier's case might tend to encourage mob violence. Northerly the trinity commonwealth's attorney signed the petition pardon, their position being that the law should be permitted to take its course.
Shaler D. Tate, another, alleged member of the mob, who drew a two-year sentence, began serving his sentence several months ago.

ing by Rev. J. E. Kirkland, D. D., pastor of White Rock Baptist Church, Durham, N. C., Sunday morning. His discourse was one of eloquence and power, and greatly spired the large audience that heard it. Dr. Kirkland preached also at the night service. Both sermons by the Durham divine left a lasting impression upon those who heard him.
On Monday night Rev. J. A. Young, D. D., pastor of St. John's A. M. E. Church, was the preacher. A large congregation heard him deliver an eloquent and impressive discourse.
Tuesday night the celebration closed with a sermon by the eloquent pulpit orator, Rev. A. Hobbs, D. D., pastor of Jerusalem Baptist Church.
At each service there were expressions from heads of the official boards and auxiliaries of the church, attesting to the high esteem in which Rev. Long is held as pastor of the church, and the high degree of co-operation between pastor and congregation.
Bank Street Baptist Church is one of the oldest and most distinguished congregations in the State. Rev. Long's pastorate of two years has been conspicuously successful.
HOSE FREE WITH SHOES
With the first 50 pairs of shoes purchased this Saturday March 17th at the Bankrupt shoe sale going on at Ash's Shoe Store, 311 Church St., a pair of ladies hose will be given free.

SALES FORCE INCREASED
Messrs. Burns & Norman, dealers in fine killed meals etc., at 406 Church street announce that they have increased their sales force in order to handle their increasing trade.

Messrs. Burns and Norman are located at 406 Church street, next door to D. P. Store, phone 1970.

The B-W Store No. 2, will open Saturday, March 17th, at corner of Bolton and Dunbar streets. Mr. J. C. Booth, Jr., will be in charge. Mr. John Lawson, formerly of the Masonic Association has been appointed manager of the B-W store at 1136 Chapel street.
Votes Pensions To Faithful Slaves
Columbia, S. C.—"Faithful" Negroes who "stood by" their owners during a war fought to free them were voted pensions by the South Carolina legislature today. The House passed the Johnstone bill providing such pensions, which already had passed the Senate by a vote of 67 to 34.
The bill provides that slaves who served the State and their masters in the Confederate Army during the war shall be granted pensions under virtually the same conditions as those now paid to Confederate veterans.
RIGHT THINKING WILL BRING WORLD PEACE.--DUBOIS
Says Settlement of Race Question Hinges on Distribution of Income. Race Prejudice Economic In Final Analysis.
AFRICA AND INDIA MUST BE FREE ECONOMICALLY
Los Angeles, Calif—Dr. W. E. DuBois, speaking before a large audience at Trinity Auditorium last night, branded as impractical Garvey's "Back to Africa" dream.
RACE ADJUSTMENTS
"The thing that I am emphasizing in my lectures," he said, "is the light the world war has thrown upon the economic divisions of mankind. We use think of races as physical races. Now we see them as economical races."
"White men," Dr. DuBois said, "were now attempting to organize their work and income in Europe so as to eliminate drudgery and provide an income. They are trying to use democratic methods in the distribution of that income.
"They they have no such ideas," he wanted, "with regard to Asia and Africa. They are still thinking of the profit that can be taken out of those countries. There they will use drudgery and reduce income to the lowest terms and prevent democratic development.
"They will still think of superior and inferior races because
PERMANENT PEACE
Until this kind of thinking ceases, according to Dr. DuBois, there can never be permanent world peace. The settlement question is the distribution of income—using income in its broadest and most comprehensive meaning.
"Race prejudice in the last analysis is economic. It is always the races who are looked upon as sources of income for others rather than sources of income for themselves who are from impressed with a sense of inferiority."
It is the opinion of Dr. DuBois that justice alone can still the rising tide of protest which is welling up from millions of lips throughout the world, especially in those countries inhabited by the dark races of mankind, but at present under the forcible control of the whites.
N. C. MUTUAL-TAKES OVER ANOTHER COMP'Y
Reinsures Business of Charlotte Concern, the Twelfth It Has Absorbed in Recent Years.
Special to Journal and Guide
Durham, N. C.—The North Carolina Mutual has at various times insured the business of twelve different colored companies operating in North Carolina. It now announces that it has taken over the business of the Afro-American Insurance Company, of Charlotte, N.C. The Afro-American is the second oldest life insurance company in North Carolina, the North Carolina Mutual being the oldest. The first named company was organized and fostered for nearly twenty years by Mr. Thad-
eus Tate, the. The tests of depression through which the country has just passed were severe tests on the management and strength of every business con-
nexion. The Afro-American is to be congratulated on having passed this period with success. At the close of 1922 Mr. Tate and his associates, with their usual ober and farsighted judgment, say that the day of big business was at hand and that if they wanted to give the largest return and the greatest security to their policyholders the Afro-American can should ally itself with some larger company. Naturally they turned the North Carolina Mutual, the largest Negro life insurance company in the world. In such a splendid dition were the affairs of these two companies that a reinsurance plan

QUIETON POTOMAC; TROUBLE BREWING IN THE DISTANCE
President Harding Will Be Renominated But Powerful Progressive Bloc Bodes Ill to G. O. P. Regulars in Campaign.
AFRO-AMERICAN GROUP IS ALSO UNCERTAIN ELEMENT
By MORRIS BROWN
(Washington, Correspondent)
Washington, D. C., Mar 13.—With Congress adjourned and the President with Mrs. Harding, Attorney General Daugherty and other members of his cabinet vacationing in Florida, the center of political activities is removed from the Capital for the time being. Washington is also under high Government officials, and there has been an exodus of office-seekers.
HARDING AGAIN
As the first skirmishes of the political campaign looking to the Republican nomination in 1924 are made, President Harding appears to have the nomination sewed up. He has control of the party machinery, and federal patronage is at his disposal. Besides the Republican party cannot refuse him a nomination and at the same time stand upon the record of his administration.
However, dark clouds are gathering Hiram Johnson—off to Europe—will return with first information to oppose the President's plan for membership in the Permanent Court of International Justice. Borah emerges from the sixty-seventh Congress as the most outstanding figure. He is very likely to make trouble for the President.
COLORED DISGRUNTLED
Then there is, still extant among colored Republicans a feeling that they have not had a square deal at the hands of the Harding administration. Colored delegates in the next national convention—though they will be few in number—will be ready to get off the reservation and go into the camp of any candidate who should show sufficient strength to warrant them in believing that there is a possibility of his winning.
Subsequent to the rejection of Walter L. Cohen, to be controller of customs at New Orleans, arises the question of identity of Republican senators who voted with the Democrats against confirmation.
The vote to object was 35 to 27. The Senate during the last session was composed of 59 Republicans and 37 Democrats.
Several Democrats had gone home. Senator Underwood, of Alabama, was on his way to Europe. There were two or three other Democratic absentees. By no method of calculation was it possible for the Democrats—unaided by Republicans—to have rejected the nomination.
BAD FAITH
Now comes the information of bad faith on the part of certain Republican senators. It is intimated that Senator Jones, of Washington, chairman of the Commerce Committee, to which this nomination was referred—and incidentally he also had charge of the Henry Lincoln Johnson nomination—was recruit in his duty. There is also some question of Senator Spencer, of Missouri, and Senator Nebraska, of Wisconsin, it is stated that Senator Lola Follette, of Wisconsin, spoke in support of "senatorial courtesy." But, perhaps, the keenest disappointment is in Senator George Wharton Pepper, of Pennsylvania, who is included in this suspicious group.
NEGROES NOT TO MINE RUHR COAL
Strike-Breaking Detective Agency Finds It Impossible to Corral Colored Workers for Job.
Crusader Service
New York-Negro non-union coal miners of West Virginia and Southern Illinois will not dig coal in the Ruhr, even for the bait of $7 a day and transportation to Eu-
The organized French workers—socialists, communists and trade unionists—will not work the coal mines. Coal isn't being mined because of the solidarity of the miners. The French turned to their imperial possessions and sought to flood the coal fields with Algerian colonials, but they couldn't do the job.
Then, in desparation, a "commissionaire" who was supplying the Algerians, turned to a private detective agency, the Dougherty "Detective Bureau and Mercantile Police" 'of New York, which has a record of having engaged for several years in strike-breaking work, and called upon them to supply non-union Negroes to do what the Germans and the French soldiers and the French workers and the Algerians would not do. Dougherty found that the

Morris’ Doctrines Strike Hearer
As Being Practical Idealism
Gifted Young Negro Orator, In Role of Evangel of Good Will, Is Rare Experience For Some Among the Multitudes Who Hear Him.
When Charles Satchell Morris, Jr., had finished his speech of an hour and a half before an audience and thousand people at Armory Hall Sunday afternoon a young white woman who had been an interested listener to the gifted orator’s handling of “The Bright Side of a Dark Subject,” grasped his hand and exclaimed: “I am happy to meet a practical idealist—a rare person to see.”
That is probably the secret of Morris’ wonderful following. People see in his doctrine something that is practical. Americans—white and black—have been surfeited by musical doctrines of orator who can produce something that sounds practical strikes the heart of the multitude.
on the cheeks of the morning. I held communion with the coilstilling corps in the ‘Old North State,’ and returned to the wonderful ‘Old Dominion,’ to storied Tidewater, where Jehovah, Himself, seems to have caught the jewels from the sky and bade them sparkle here, Norfolk, city of noble hearts and stalwart souls, bright galaxy in the bejeweled constellation of coming Dixie, bearing onward as fast as the winged feet of Medici, as unassailable as Gladiator, as determined as a martyr.
The serious points of his address detailed in earnest manner “What the Southern white man is doing for the Southern Negro; what the white man
WHITES HEAR HIM
It has been regarded as difficult to get a large number of white persons to hear a colored speaker in Norfolk, although the relations between the races here are now, and have been, unusually amicable. The late Dr. Booker T. Washington overrode Dr. Robert R. Moeon to add Dr. Robert R. Moeon to add 400 to hear him at the Armory Hall last August.
Sunday afternoon at 3:00 o'clock, the hour when Mr. Morris was advertised to speak, over a thousand white men and women had taken seats in the hall. At least two hundred more came. Three thousand colored people were there despite the fact that he had only recently spoken in Norfolk on the subject discussed Sunday after-
A RHETORICAL FLIGHT
The speaker began his address with a flight of rhetoric, painting a vivid word-picture of his recent country-wide speaking tour that ran like this: "I boarded my steed of steel among the sandy prairies of fair Illinois and rode on through the golden grain fields of sun-kissed Kansas, on through opulent Arkansas to the streaming oil wells of mystic Texas, where a thousand fortunes have been builted and a thousand likewise have been blasted. I rode on through romantic Louisiana, preeminent of field where I held the sage to be being treaded to and framed in the evening zephyr, and whose Creole belles are as beautiful as Heaven's cherubims. Yea, my iron horse rushed on to Mississippi, where cotton is King—Mississippi—whose mouth kisses the Gulf of Mexico, and whose feet nestle coyly in the dimpled vales of Tennessee. I rode on past proud Atlanta, the 'Athens of the South,' the busy hum of whose wheels of industry are as ceaseless as the revolutions of a magnet around its pole. I rode on to tropical Florida, where the sunbeams caress the earth by day, and Luna plays fitfully by night, Florida, to bruze play their dulcet obligatos in the swaying tree tops, and where tropical fountains roll down their golden sand. I swept through the borders of South Carolina, where I beheld the rice fields noding to greet the blush
on the checks of the morning. I held communion with the scintillating stars in the 'Old North State', and returned to the wonderful 'Old Dominion', to storied Tidewater, where Jehovah, Himself, seems to have caught the jewels from the sky and bade them sparkle here, forlok, city on them, bright galaxy in the bejeweled constellation of coming Dixie, bearing, onward as fast as the winged feet of Mercury, as unassailable as a Gladiator, as determined as a martyr.
The serious points of his address detailed in earnest manner "What the Southern white man is doing for the Southern Negro; what the white man and the Negro are doing for each other; what the Southern Negro is doing for the Southern white man, and the Southern Negro is doing for himself."
He related numerous specific instances of recent large appropriations for Negro education in the South. Told of the extensive studies and investigations of the Southern University commission and the constructive study of the Negro problems in Southern white colleges as the white man's outstanding contributions to Negro progress.
The work of the Southern Interracial commission he described as the outstanding seat at the two colleges doing together to cultivate and promote harmony, progress and good-will.
The Negro's conservatism in industrial disputes; his dependability as a source of labor supply; freedom from anarchy and bolshevism, Mr. Morris regarded as the Negro's main contribution to the progress and peace of the South. Speaking of the Negro's loyalty the speaker quoted Henry W. Grady: "Whenever he struck a blow for his own freedom, he fought in open battle, and when at last he raised his black and humble hands that the shackles might be stricken off, those hands were innocent of wrong against his helpless charges and worthy to be taken in loving grasp by every man who honors loyalty and devotion."
His closing peroration was a delimitation of what the Negro is doing for himself. Deploring the occasional habit of labelling a particularly successful member of the race as a "Black Billy Sunday," or "Black Demosthenes," etc., Morris declared that "The only way to instil pride of race is by teaching our sons and daughters to glory in the achievements of their uncrowned heroes." Then he proceeded with inspiring eloquence to detail the achievements of members of the race in every line of human endeavor.
The meeting was held under the auspices of the Norfolk Lyceum Association. Mr. Morris was introduced in fitting terms by Mr. W. W. Foreman. Rev. W. Long, pastor of White Baptist Church, pastor of White Rock Baptist Church, Durham, N. C., offered the opening prayer.

BRUTAL CRIME STIRS
CITIZENS OF DURHAM
Victim of Jealous Husband Only Fifteen Years Old. Shot While Mother Looks On.
(Special To Journal and Guide)
Durham, N. C.—In sight of her terror-striken mother and others, Mrs. Ella Williams, fifteen-year-old wife of John Williams, was shot three times by her enraged husband, and at this report lies at the point of death in Lincoln Hospital.
Williams used a single-barreled shot gun, firing. then calmly reloading and firing again. One shot failed to take effect, but two loads of shot lodged in the girl's body.
The place at the home of Mr. Charles Nichols, in East Durham, where the couple lived, and in the presence of Mrs. Nichols and several white persons who were passing the home at the time.
It is declared that Williams came to the house and asked his wife where she had been. She replied that she had been out looking for work. Enraged at her leaving the house while she was away, it is declared that the man told the girl he was going to kill her. He went into an adjoining room, for his wife we fed outside. She was overtaken and shot down, but arose again and tried to run, only to be hit again by a full load of shot. The man shot her one more time while she was lying on the ground. Williams then went back into the house and got several more shells for the gun and disappeared in the woods nearby. Sheriff John F. Harward and a deputy appeared the second of the three minutes later, but darkness came and handicapped their efforts to locate the fugitive.
Later several deputies and Sheriff Harward returned and made another search, going as far as Raleigh, but the man succeeded in getting his gun. The woman was dressed in rather short, 32 years of age, has two gold front teeth, and wears a small moustache.
At Lincoln Hospital it was found that the girl had been shot in the right shoulder and the right hip. Two fingers were blown off her hand.
BISHOP UPHOLDS THE
DIVINITY OF CHRIST
Through Him All Men Will Seek Truth, Says Bishop Ross In Norfolk Sermon.
The annual Men's Day services were held at St. John's Church Sunday, under the auspices of the St. John's Brotherhood of which Attorney V. C. Hodges is the president. The speaker at the morning service was Bishop I. N. Ross, president of the 12th Episcopal district of the A. M. E. Church, embracing the state of Arkansas. Bishop Ross was elected to the bishopric in 1916 at Philadelphia, after pastoring the largest churches of the connection with A. L. Temple, Chimmitta, Ohio Bothel, Atlanta (Ga.; Metropolitan, Washington, D. C. For four years he presided over the conferences in West Africa. He became well known as a lecturer and preacher of great eloquence. St. John's was full to overflowing to hear him who was at his best in every way. The great congregation was charmed. It was first held spell-bound, and then under the mighty power of his eloquence it would burst forth in praise. His theme was, "A Man Wanted," choosing as the text, Jeremiah 5.1. The king to and for through the five streets and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that executech judgment, that seekketh the truth; and I will pardon it."
He treated his subject negatively first, describing the kind of men who would not fit well in the scheme of human advancement; those who see caste, or race or condition or self above everything else. Then affirmatively, those who seek the truth.
He affirmed his abiding faith in the divinity of Jesus Christ and declared that he believed that through Him men, in church and state, would come to, above everything else, seek the truth. The governments of the world will not see selfishly in dealing with other government in doing not equally with their composite groups, but all will seek the truth.
At night the program was rendered by the men of the Brotherhood. Bishop Ross spoke on "Co-operation," Mr. William Robinson sang very beautifully "The Lord Is My Light." The Peerless Four Quartette sang several very fine selections.

YOUNG WOMAN IS GIVEN
ESTATE VALUED AT $299,000
Special to Journal and Guide
Charleston, W. V.—Legal proceedings to set aside the will of Roman Pickens, anticipated since it was probated, have been instituted by John E., his brother, and a bitter fight is in prospect for the large estate left by the decedent to his daughter "outside the law."
Pickens, once sheriff of this—Kaplan county, and a picturesque figure, county and district, is acquiring his estate to Garnet Pickens, commonly known and accepted as his daughter by a colored woman, long a domestic in his household.
The will gave the entire estate, appraised at $20,000, to Miss Garnet, with directions that she "treat with love and affection" the lawful widow, Mary E. Pickens (white), who holds the estate during her life time. It also directed that she "well and comfortably provide for Cora," the servant" during her life.
BEQUEATHED ADVICE ALSO
Much common-sense advice was conveyed to the heiress, a beautiful young woman who has since reached her majority, by the document. It directs her to consult with experienced business men in all business affairs, cautions her never to sign or endorse her notes, and warns her that she will be required to present a record of designing persons. The testimony is also commanded not to sell any of the real estate until she reaches the age of 30 years, as the real property, located in this city and in the farming sections of this and neighboring counties, rapidly is increasing in value.
H. P. Brightwell, city treasurer, and vice-president of a local trust company, of which Pickens is a rector, was named administrator by the will and other prominent officials of the same institution were appointed appraisers by the court.
Miss Pickens has had little or no association with other members of her race than her mother, with whom she lived in the home of her fathor on a farm at Tornado, about 18 miles up Coal River, in a white farming school and her fathor on or too "close" to send her away, she, those who know her intimately say, has had the advantage only of what little education her parents and an occasional tutor could give her.
GARVEY STILL DREAMS OF AN AFRICAN EMPIRE
Thinks Time is Coming When There Will Be No Room On American Continent for Negro
(MORRIS BROWN)
(Washington Correspondent)
Washington, D. C.—Marcus Garvey—self styled "Provisional President of Africa"—was the principal speaker at a meeting of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, of which he is the president-general, held here on Sunday afternoon.
He urged that Negro people take courage affirmative Negotion toward the establishment of an independent nation and the government of their homeland, Africa.
He predicted that economic conditions would soon become such in this country that there would be no room for the American Negro and he would become extinct.
He explained the objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association.
"This organization with which I am connected is an organization to bring about the emancipation of the colored race," he stated. The time has come when the Negro should fight to make them the black man's country in every respect. Never will we have racial equality until we have our own country, our own railroad systems, our own financiers and our own form of government."
As to the investigation being asked at the hands of the Federal Government, he declared his readiness for it. Persons in New York City undered to have the State Legislature take action against me, but have failed" he said. "Now the Federal government has taken a hand, and I expect my case to come up in New York tomorrow. The members of the association do not know what the Federal authorities are talking about, so we are going to court to find out."

Mrs. Emma S. Ransom, of New York, Delivered Charming Address. Day one of Features.
Sunday was a great day at Emanuel A. M. E. Church, the occasion being Woman's Day.
The day was begun with the early morning class meetings, with a very good attendance at the Sunday school. The lesson was reviewed by Mr. W. Walsey, a local preacher. At the eleventh clock hour a very large congregation reached the pastor, Dr. Berry, who reached a special sermon to the Women, which was very well received.
At 3 p.m., a special program was carried out by the women. Mrs. Emma S. Ransom, of New York City, was the special speaker. She thrilled her audience with a great address. At the close of the program Bishop I. N. Ross, incidently dropped in, and he was called upon to say a word, and in a few minutes he took the vast audience, J. A. Young, pastor of St. John's A. M. E. Church, Norfolk, was also present and made remarks.
At 7:30 p.m., another program of rare merit was carried out to the delight of all present. It has been said from many quarters of the church, that this Women's Day program was the best in the history of the church. Mrs. Gertrude V. Wilson was president, and presided with rare ability. The female choir gave choice selections during the day. Mrs. Mamie Hall-Richardson presided at the organ while Mrs. J. O. Churchill directed the choir for all of the services. Mrs. Caplym Washington maintained her reputation as a soloist. The song composed and played by Mrs. Blanche K. Thomas, "We Women Are Marching On," was sung as a solo by Mrs. J. O. Churchill with telling effect, while the choir joined in the chorus.

Kingston, Jamaica,—Lord Burnham editor of the London Telegram, whi is visiting here as an observer, recently heard expressions of dissatisfaction with prevailing political and economic conditions from representative public men. Mr. J. A. G. Smith, Simpson, Young and Lowe, colored men, assured Lord Burnham that they are unalterably opposed to the island being handed over to the United States and they are anxious to see fewer South African officials with color prejudice. Generally expressions of preference for England were tendered along with the plea for fuller control of the island's destiny by its native population. The distinguished visitor assured numerous delegations of his interest and promised to use his influence to ameliorate the conditions complained against.

Frequently the JOURNAL AND GUIDE receives for publication an announcement of a concert or entertainment of some sort that is to be held, at which an admission price is charged, the proceeds of which go to a private individual or group. We are asked to give considerable space to advertising the affair as "news" and in that way help to work up a good attendance. Here is a fair example which we received this week:
"To Music Lovers: You will miss a rare treat if you fail to be present at _____ on _____ 1923, to hear the famous _____ of _____ who will appear in one of their self composed concerts. They are known as the star _____ of _____ and have pleased many audiences, and they can and will please you. Come early to avoid the rush. Concert begins at 8:30 o'clock sharp.

We are always pleased to publish as news, reports of events that have occurred and that have some news value. We are always glad to give advance notices to such affairs when accompanied by a reasonable amount of display advertising, but we are getting weary of being imposed upon by people who do not know what reciprocity means.

If this conclusion is confirmed by later experiments, any increased damage to fruit by frost in a cover-cropped citrus grove must be attributed to some other agency than a depression of the air temperature by the cover crop. The answer may be found in natural differences in temperature due to difference in elevation or similar cause, or to the physiological effect of the cover crop on the tree.
Cuban tachnid parasites of the sugar-cane moth borer were released by the United States Department of Agriculture at 41 sugar-plantations in Louisiana during 1919 and 1920. A recent inspection of the sugar parishes of Louisiana by the Bureau of Entomology shows that the parasites have apparently become established, as they were found this fall at 14 plantations, and probably occur at others. Since their release the parasites have been recovered at at total of 25 plantations:

RELIGIOUS PLAY [IMPORTANCE OF
A BIG SUCCESS VACCINATI!
Washington, N. C.—Before an au-
dience that packed the Auditorium of
the New Elk's Temple on Friday night
local talent’ under the direction of
Miss Florence K. Randolph, staged the
play “Joseph’s Bondage,” with decid-
ed success.
‘The play was a dramatization of the
acepaeal story on the subject.
e cast Was composed of fifty
characters, attired in’ costumes sug-
gestive of ‘the times in which the sto-
ry originated.
The effective handling of the stage
lights against the varied costumes
and the faces of the pretty young
women presented a scene of beauty.
The play was divided in aboue
ten brief acts, each accompanied by
an appropriate change of scenry.
Each character was a star in his or
her role and thé lines were enacted
with an evenness that was admirable.
The whole performance reflected a
very creditable amount of time tal-
ent and study put forth by the re-
spective participants.
‘The characters were as follows:-

ington, Leah, Mary L. Bryant; Zila,

VACCINATION
Greenville, N. C—The subject of
vaccination for smallpox should ap-
Peal most earnestly to colored peo-
ple, especially when urged by a prac-
tial physician like Dr. Battle. | There
ate insurance companies that will not
insure colored people, which shows
the low condition physically in which
these companies regard colored peo-
ple. Dr, J, A. Battle, prominent phy-
sician of this city has issued the fol-
lowing statement on vaccination:
Omission of Vaccination; Prevalence
‘of Smal! Pox
Persons poe to the conta-
gon of Small Pox should be revac-
Ginated during an epidemic or en-
demic. One can never know when
‘he or she is exposed to the dis-
ease but if he has been success-
fully vaccinated recently, there
need not be any cause for alarm.
Quarantine is a useful auxiliary
but should not be viewed in the —
light of a substitute. Until the
.. public is made to know that eee
antine offers a falso sense of se-,
curity, and that vaccination and
revaccination for Smal! Pox gives
‘one real protection; will continue
«to have sporadic outbreaks reach-
ing endemic and sometimes ep-
idemic proportions. The worse
case of vaccination can hardly be |
compared with the mildest case of
‘Small Pox in the stage of byper-
pyrexia.

BIG RELIGIOUS PARADE
‘Newbern, N. C.—Betwenn 300 and
400 people composed the religious pa-
rade last night, which was lead by
C. P. Dixon, “Black Billy Sunday”
tnd Rev. BF. Rollins... During. the
march many beautiful songs were
sung and several sincere prayers were
offered at different points which touch:
ed many of the hearers.
‘The procession marched back to
the church and congregated. ‘The very
large congregation witnessed one of
the greatest sermons that has. been
preached by Dr. Dixon. His subject
was “The Prodigal Son.” He said the
prodigal son, who had. intentionally
cut himself off from his father and
his ancestral estate and had then fal-
jen into excesses and sin beyond tell
ing, until he was vtterly brought low,
so low until he became a despised
swineheardsman and was glad to live
on such food as was given the’ swine.
“This young man went out to fash-
ion his life with his own plan,” said
Dr, Dixon, “and what he, called a
geod time,” but when the wind of af-
liction and the storm clouds of life
thickened, suddenly learns that he is
utterly helpless and alone. The pleas-
ures of the world are then a mockery
ad the friends of his riotous days
are gone, the he thinks of God and
‘ongs to return to him. Jesus is as
eager to have him return as he is
to come, He does more; he meets. the
prodigal half, way and restores shim
“o full sonship. 7
“he anigels in Heaven rejoice wher
a sinner repents and returns to God.’
declared Dr. Dixon.
‘The revival meeting closed Sunday,

Pocket Gophers Troublesome
On Reclamation Projects
Pocket gopliers are -among the
worst of our native rodent pests. On
some of the reclamation projects they
‘cause great damage by destroying
‘crops and burrowing in irrigation
canal banks. This causes serious
Washouts, resulting in an enormous
annual loss to farmers. An instance
of sucessful control measures under-
taken by. the Biological Survey, Unit-
ed States Department of Agriculture,
fs furnished in Dona Ana County, Ni.
Mex, Losees there, estimated at $60,-
000 9 year, were eliminated at a total
cost to the farmers of about $9,500.
Field operations as a result have been
extended to other portions of the Ele-
phant ‘Butte prolect, both in: New
Mexico and ‘Texas, with a-Wiew:to cov-
efing completely this important irri-
gation area, In Idaho approximately
Y40 miles of canal banks were treated
with poison in two counties, in con-
unction with work done on’ farming
lands Jn “11 counties of that State,
where 79,000 acres of private lands
were treated to destroy these animals.
Effect of Weather on Crops
of Corn, Oats, and Cotton
Definite relations exist between
weather conditions and the yields. of
Various important crops. ~ Studies
have been’ conducted by the Weather
Bureau, United States Depaitment of
Agriculture, to determine the influ-
ence of the weather on the yield of
potatoes, com, oats and cotton, The
effort har been to show the kind of
weather ‘that has the greatest influ-
ance in varying the yield of a crop,
as well ag the most critical period of
growth. ‘There is a possibility, many
Believe, that the yield of several im-
portant crops may be predicted con-
siderably before harvesting time from
a knowledge of antecedent weather
taken into account up to about. the
harvest date for oats, but the prob-
able yield for corn can be determined
by the end of July and of cotton at
the ond of June in the eastern part
of the belt,

A Brownie Story in Serial Form
The Bank Failure
(A Brownie Story in Serial Form)
When you are a capitalist you feel different and for days Hannah and Henry went about feeling too chesy to work. Then a new uneasiness began to show in the child's face.
"What's Hannah like, how knew we promise never to go yellow on each other? What you think'in about."
"Meet me at the office in half an hour, busy now. You see, Henry, $2500 is a lot of money to lose and I read in the Guide another bank book, you know the Saving Bank go broke with our capital? I for one, would be plum discouraged. 'Cause you know, I don't never hardly get to skate and have good times and you either, Henry. 'Chucks, girls always git scared at their own shadow and take all the out of life.'
"Now Henry Smith, you promised never to use that expression again so long as this firm lives and I feel like getting out this very much. I can't fight and why should you talk to me like that. Good evening Mr. Man, and should that bank bust right here in your face don't say a word to Hannah Jones, no never again."
"Come on Pal, you know I didn't mean any thing but me to surprise. Why will we do with the island. Is there any gilt edge bank or place to keep it where we could have it for investment and yet not loose it. I tell you Hannah I will dig a hole under the house and cement it and make it a wall. I will cover the hole and keep our money there until we go to the city and put it in the biggest Brownie bank in the country." Things went on well for a while and Hannah began to ask her fears when one morning her faithfulness met with the failure of the Gatesville Bank. "Henry, I told you I had a hunch. Providence always takes care of a true Brownie."
DARK DAYS
With the failure of the bank came trouble to Mr. Smith, Henry's father, who was a stockholder and heavy looser. His home was barely saved and his credit ruined. Mrs. Smith, smarting under the injurious fell size, seemed to be the one that seemed to loall desire for living and gradualy grew worse.
Hannah forgot all about her million and looked after the sick woman as her own child. One day as she sat before the fire chafing the invalid's hands a light broke on Mrs. Smith's brow and she opened it. "Why, Hannah, you are really growing she whispered, and so good. When I am gone do something for my boy. Help to keep him good and be a little sister to him as you have always been. Then the girl she had gone and Hannah left she had gone. Then she whispered, "Please, Mrs. Smith, don't go. Stay for Henry's sake. He needs you and the old money don't count. We are going to make a whole miracle you stay, but if you go he won't help, he will. But he will." "Bless your wife, he will you," faintly whispered the sick woman, "and God willing I will hold on." When the doctor came he noted a change for the better and when the balmy days of April the sick woman was taken on the little listen to the birds.
Henry began to forget his hat and whistle at his work, and one day when Hannah was reading to his mother and he was cutting wood in the shed he yelled, "Hannoo! This agency has been idle long enough, let me buy, 'Twas your million dollars, but now its henry we have that million dollars, it this very summer 'cause our Mars are going to Atlantic City for a month."
"That's settled Henry, 'cause you know we have private funds enough for that and we will get busy building them at once. Your sons old, that's what happened, Mrs. Smith was able to take care of themselves—'No to be continued."

Sea and the River of Jordan with muddy, turbulent, water, and which rises in Mount Hermon. These are by no means all the wonders of the Holy Land. There are as many more, of lesser importance, but intreating and related very directly to the more places.
Palestine is wonderful, and though the least of all the lands, it is with influence that penetrates into the furthermost corner of the earth. It is not a wild land, but pictured and possesses make beauty - hills and valleys, sloping plateaus and rugged shore lines, barren deserts and verdant meadows. To go there and the wonders of the palestine to receive an unequal education to gain a biblical history and to gain a more clear and comprehensive knowledge of the Christ that was and the Christianity that is. A trip to the Holy Land and full realization, much the whole experience, could be aspired to because one and most certainly by the large number of church-men whose chosen fields is service and the perpetuation the teachings of Christ, and such a trip is not possible. It is a A trip to Palestine, the wonderful Holy Land,

THE LION'S CAGE
Horace's little sister had been a cripple since she fell from the cherry tree a year ago and could not run about and play with him as usual. Their parents were 'too poor to hire a noted surgeon and have the child sick. The little fellow was always sad and whenever he could earn a penny running the neighbors he put it in his little box against the day when he would have fifty dollars, the cost of the operation that would make Maragret well.
A new sorrow had come to Horace, the bill men put up a picture about the big circus that was coming and the garter could not even see the parade, but he did a dhac Was there; nothing a Brown was do to help his own sister? Horace was ten and small for his age, but maybe the circus folk could use him. With a hump in his throat he walked over the presser man and blurted out the whistle sonny, I will give you fifty dollars if you will go in the animal cage with the trainer. It will be a big thing for the show and you will be safe. You will keep an eye, on you all the time." The time, a heavy feeling rose to his heart and he wanted to cry. "Lions, all right, but sign a contract first, 'cause I am a Brown and I do things right." Horace found the big surgeon that was coming again, then he offered to look after Margaret. The great man offered to perform the operation free and not risk the child's life when he saw that a fine little fellow he was. "Never take the brown and God will take care of me."
When the day of the big parade came off Horace rode with the lion trainer and received his fifty dollars. The surgeon operated on Margaret and when she came again she was able to run about and play in the garden. The fifty dollars was given her as a present because the great man refused to use what he called blood money. BESSIE LEE DIXON.

LYNCHING MOB: STORMS
JAIL BUT IS REPULSED
Crusader Service
Palatka, Fla.—After making an un-
successful effort to storm the ‘Putnam
county jail here and get a Negro pris-
oner, 11 white men, members of a
lynching crowd said to have numbered
16, were: captured early today and
locked in the Alachua jail.
_ ‘The attackers were repulsed at the
jail by Sherif? Hagan, who was shot
in the left hand by one of about 50
pullets fired by the crowd. Upon re-
treating the mob left a 50-foot rope
behind, The 11 were apprehended by
the police authorities at Alachua as
the result of a telephone message to
that town from the Putnam county
jail, :
Elijah Lawrence was the ‘Negro
whom the mob sought ot get out of
jail. He conducted a business, place
at Gainsville, Pla., in which Ctifford
Sinith, a white man, had been shot
and killed. A brother of the Negro,
Ed. Lawrence, is alleged to have done
the shooting. It is expected that a
special grand jury will be called im-
mediately to act on the attack,

Caruthersville, Mo—A carefully

has driven more than 2,000 Nogro
workers from the cotton fields of
southeastern Missouri within the last
30 days, according to complaints made
to local officials here today.
Negro leaders charged that threats
and warnings were-sent to Negroes
by white laborers fearful of losing
their jobs by the influx of Negroes
into the recently reclaimed sections.
“Nigger, get to hell out of, here.
This is a white man’s country,” was
one notice ‘delivered by five hooded
men, Young said.
“The next morning I found another

“Nigger, if-you can read run. Tf

URGES FREEDOM OF NEWS,
"LYING DOES NOT PAY"
Crusader Service
St. Louis, Mo.—A statement urging unrestricted transmission or news was issued by the Executive Committee of the Press Congress of the World, following a meeting here today.
"Before the next war comes, if it comes, Governments and nations must be convinced that, in the long run, lying does not pay." the statement asserted, referring to the grand series of lies put over in the press during the last war.
EGYPTIANS WOVE LINEN OVER 7,000 YEARS AGO
Crusader Service
Cairo—Professor Peirie says the weaving of a piece of linen, of 7,000 years ago presented no difference from that of the finest handkerchief today. The Egyptians gave to their work the maximum of skill.
in its largest aspects forestry is not merely a land problem but an agricultural problem, says Col. William. B. Greely in the annual report of the Forest Service, United States Department of Agriculture. Not only should lands, best suited to forests be used for forests but these forests should be intensively managed, as farms are intensively managed.

King Tut Was First Banker, Lawyer Says
Washington.—Theodore G. Risley, solicitor for the Department of Labor has advanced the belief that King Tutankhamen, of Egypt, was one of the first bankers in the world, and could stump many a modern banker on the theory of the game. The Negro Egyptians and the Chinese, he maintains were taking our loan interest in advance and turning down worthless checks are the Europeans had quit using seashells in the place of coin.
During the past fiscal year $5,068,527.42 of national forest revenue was paid into the Federal Treasury, according to the annual report of the Forest Service, United States Department of Agriculture. These receipts are from the use of timber, forage, and land, including water-power sites.

March 1821
Reg. children
In remembrance of our dear son and brother, Arthur W. Langley, who departed this life, March 10, 1922. Gone but not forgotten, Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Langley and family, 1834 Bolton Street, City.
In sad and loving memory of our dearly beloved mother and grandmother, Mary A. Moffatt, who passed away March 15, 1923. One year has gone, our hearts still sore. As a loving mother and grandmother gone, a once we loved is stillled. A place is vacant in our hearts. That never can be filled. Children and grandchildren.
In memory of Mr. John H. Foreman who departed this life March 11, 1920. Just a token of remembrance. Just a sorrowful tear. For my dear and only brother, Wham I hold so dear.
Just a tear of sorrow. Just a vacant sigh. For my departed husband, I shall meet bye and be by. For her life and sister, Mrs. M. K. F. Foreman. Mrs. Katie F. Parker.
I love remembrance of my husband,
James Jones, who departed this life a year
ahead March 13, 1922.
There blooms a flower divinely fair,
That springs from Love's own sod;
Mess call it "Love" but I call it "Flower
of God."
The earth's roots are firmly bound.
The heavens the perfume fills;
I love blooming place is holy ground,
Watched ever by Angel rose.
In memory of my daughter and
cherist Irena J. Mooreland, who passed away March 17, 1918.
Days of sadness come. Times of sorrow still flow,
will throw us so deeply so deeply.
She passed away five years ago.
Madaline Malone Moreland, mother, Gladys
Moreland, sister, BEN. Moreland, brother.

John Butts was a classy, flashy player and besides being a good infielder was a fair pitcher.
LOCAL COMPANY
SCORES SUCCESS
The Greater Norfolk Players, a local dramatic company, headed by Mr Thomas W. Stancil and Miss Marguerite Moseley, held the board for the last three nights last week at the Attucks, in that delightful old English Drama, "East Lynne." A fair sized audience greeted the young players at each performance and were given a rare treat. And his supporting company gave a very creditable interpretation of the play. Miss Moseley captured her audience by the clever manner in which she portrayed the role of Cornelia, the sharp tongued but kindly English spinster, and proved herself to be an artist in character parts.
In the dual role of Lady Isabell, the jealous wife and Madam Vine, the governess, Mrs. Elizabeth Davies, the effective executive would have improved the impersonation a bit had she shown more emotion in the climaxes.
As Archibald Carlyle, Mr. Stancil lived up to his reputation and gave a smooth and finished piece of acting as an English country gentleman. All the actors did well and aided materially in rounding out a well balanced performance. To mention each one would be indeed a hard task, as each and every one worked hard and the results were most pleasing.

Philadelphia, Pa.—Philadelphia has set the pace by being the birth-place of eastern organized colored baseball. This is really due to the stering efforts, and reliability of Edw. Bolden. It is the consensus of opinion that no other manager of color could have called such a powerful aggregation together and whipped them into a concrete organization, holding the guiding hand, both institutional and emerging as head with everybody satisfied pledged to work untimely for the success of the Mutual Association of Eastern colored baseball Clubs.
For nineteen years Bolden has been a clerk in the Central Post Office in Philadelphia. The past fifteen years has seen him hit the job again, with caseinations and floorwork unsurpassed and seldom equalled. Without neglecting Unger Sam
Hampton, Va.—A call for Hampton Institute candidates was answered by 54 candidates who signed up for track and 50 for baseball. With the exception of ex-Captain Watley of the track team, all the members of the successful team of last year will be recruited. The track team will commence this week. Capt. Reuben F. Jones, of Baltimore, will lead his men out each day for the daily work-outs. Hampton has some excellent pole vaulters and half-milers. The track team will participate in two meet-ups—at Howard, on May 12, and at the second annual championship meet, on Armstrong field. Hampton Institute, on May 19.
The Hampton inter-class track meet will be held during the last part of April or early in May. A large number of colleges and schools are planning to be represented at the Hampton track and field meet on May 19.
Lawrenceville, Va.—At the annual meeting of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association (member of National Intercollegiate Athletic Association). Held at Shaw University, Raleigh, N. C., on Saturday, March 10, St. Paul School was elected a member, making a total of eight institutions in the association. The schools of the association are Hampton, Union, Virginia. Normal, Virginia Seminary, St. Paul, Shaw, Howard and Lincoln. St. Paul's 1923 football schedule is as follows: October 6, Virginia Seminary at Lawrenceville; October 18, (date pending) Howard at Washington; October 20, Hampton at Hampton; October 27, North Carolina State at Lawrenceville; November 3, National Training at Lawrenceville; November 10, Lincoln at Lincoln; November 17, St. Augustine's at Lawrenceville; November 29, University at Richmond; November 29, Thanksgiving Day), Shaw at Raleigh.

"PLAYING PETER BEHIND THE BAT I think the most laughable incident I ever witnessed was in a game between the Red Stockings and Richmond. Jackson, a short, long headed man, was catching Sidney Fentress, but kept taking off his mask. Fentress warned him to replace it, but he refused. A swift inshoot, a foul tip which struck Jackson on the nose, knocking him out. He fell down and crawled around the plate on his hands and knees. The crowd and players nearly fell out laughing, and I believe that was Jackson's last game.
WHITE UMPIRES
In those days white umpires used to officiate. Harry Woods, who I believe at one time was a policeman, handled the indicator. The double umpire system was not then in vogue, and he always had his hands full from the time he cried "Play ball," until the game was over.

he sacrificed time and energy enough to develop baseball to it's present status around Philadelphia.
John H. Lloyd, who has played ball coast to coast, and in Canada and Cuba, will be field general, and judging by the way star athletes are focking up, he will be the organization to doubt lead the team in Hilldale's history. More effort in schooling players to planes of greater efficiency and promoting individual and team fighting spirit so essential to successful baseball will be put forth.
Phil Cockrell, "the pitching wonder who is wintering at Palm Beach, Fla., received a flattering letter from Rube Foster. The letter is in Edward Bob don't hands and Phil declares he will stick with the Hildale team and support his present manager who has spent more money on, and has given more consideration to ball players than any other.

Wilberforce University, of Ohio, and Livingstone College, of North Carolina, have given assurance that will be teams. It is expected that all members of the Colored Inter-Collegiate Athletic Association will enter teams.
The work in baseball will be done with the pitchers and catchers for the present. This work will be carried on in the Hampton Institute gymnasium. As soon as the weather man behaves, the fielders and other players will be limbered up.
Capt. George Alexander, of Cynthiana Ky., will lead the baseball squad into action this year.
The football men are becoming restless. It is proposed that some spring training be given them in order not to let them remain idle so long after their intensive fall training. Capt. T. T. Coleman, Cumberland, Vn., of the famous 1922 squad, will be in charge of this group.

Bequest for Negro Scholarships
New York—The will of Horatio P. Howard, who died February 20, at 205 W. 115th Street, gives $5,000 to Hampton Normal and Industrial Institute to establish scholarships for deserving Negro students to be as the Captain Paul Coffee Scholarships. The residuary estate goes to Tuskegee. The will was filed yesterday.

Clarence I. Merritte, more widely known as "Bull" Merritte in the athletic circles of Norfolk, has received a wire from New York inviting him to take part in the wrestling tournament given by the Amateur-Athletic Union, of New York. The A. A. U. is an athletic association that is widely known in the athletic world. Merritte does not have to be introduced to local mat followers. He is well known throughout Virginia and parts of New York, where he has wrestled and is heralded the middle-weight wrestling champion of Virginia. During his few years of wrestling in the amateur circles, Merritte has made a record, himself on the mound, in the state of Virginia. Though he has not been constantly in action in the past year, he will go to New York to take part in the tournament beginning March 20, and lasting for a week.
His followers believe he will be credit to Norfolk. It is traditional that all Norfolk boys who venture into the athletic world usually make good, and Merritt says he will live up to that tradition.
The wrestler has completely recovered from his injuries received during the football season with the Acelian A. C. The injuries received while playing football were the cause of Merritt's poor showing recently in a bout at the Attucks Theatre when he encountered the Masked Marvel from Atlantic City. However, the versatile "Bull" expects to raise havoc this time.
The winners in this tournament will receive lucrative prizes. Prize or no prize "Bull" Merittie resolves to win.
JUVENILE NEGRO ACTOR
NOW FULL-FLEDGED STAR
(Pacific News Burbank)
Hollywood, Calif.—Earnest Frederick Morrison, the 10-year-old film actor, known to millions the world over as "Sunshine Sammy," has at last won the coveted goal of stardom.
Young Morrison with his baby sister Florence (Farina) head the cast of juvenile actors in the series of "Our Gang" comedies made at the Hal Roach studios in Culver City and released to the leading theatres throughout the world by Pathe.
Born in 1913, Earnest has played in more pictures than any juvenile actor in the films. From co-starring with Baby Marie Osborne in two and five reel dramas, Earnest has supported in almost weekly releases "Snub Pollard" and Harold Lloyd. His success with these comedians won him the starring position of "Our Gang" comedies; and incidentally a substantial raise in weekly salary, which is said to run into three figures; the highest salary any Negro film actor has received.
New York Wets
Defeated In DryLaw
Renewal Move
Albany, N. Y., March 13 (Special)
—Despite the boasting claims made by the wets of the Empire State when Gov. Alfred E. Smith, an avowed anti-prohibitionist with presidential aspirations in 1924, was elected last November, the liquor interests have encountered defeat in the Assembly, which by a vote of 74 to 70, declined to consider Assemblyman L. A. Cuvillier's request to repose the Mullan-Gage state prohibition enforcement law.
The vote was taken on a motion of Mr. Cuvillier of Manhattan to get from the Excise Committee his bill to repeal the dry act.
The debate was vigorous. There was a large number in the Assembly chamber, which listened closely to the speeches. Nearly all the spectators remained until the debate ended and the final vote had been announced.
In opposing the Cuvillier measure, Assemblyman B. D. Esmond of Saratoga declared the repeal of the Mullan-Gage law would make New York State a "battle ground for bootleggers." He continued:
"If we repeal the State dry enforcement law, the State not only will be a battle ground for the bootleggers, but brutal violence will run rampant in the cities and up and down the highways, which eventually might lead to revolution. The repeal of the State's dry law would bring a carnage of crime into this State such as the people have never before seen. It can picture the army of bootleggers which would be using our highways and running down innocent persons in their high-powered machines."
Assemblyman L. R. Long of Delaware, chairman of the Excise Committee, asserted that the repeal of the Mullan-Gage law would be the first step toward bringing back the old-time saloon.
Charles Donohue, the Democratic leader, pointed out that while undoubtedly there was popular demand for repeal of the Mullan-Gage law, there was in the Democratic platform "not a single word which held out any hope that the party would take its stand in favor of a repeal bill."
Football Ruling Committee Meets;
But One Fundamental Change Made
Chinaman Shoots and Kills Colored Woman In Street
(By W. A. JOHNSON, JIC)
At the annual meeting of the Football Rule Committee, a far-reaching step, calculated to simplify misinterpreations and eliminate misinterpretations of them, was taken. An approved ruling committee, charged with the task of establishing a basis for procedure in disputed issues arising in the game, was created. This action was characterized by members of the most important action of the committee. Serving as a virtual board of arbitration, the approved ruling committee will interpret most questions and publish its decisions annually in the form of a supplement to the regular football rules. Its findings will be subject to final approval of the regular rules committee as a whole. It is believed that the results of its work will establish a series of precedents to guide officials and others connected with the conduct of the premier college sport.
T. K. Hall, chairman of both the rule and advisory committees, in pointing out the significance of the work of which the new body will accomplish, declared it would enable greater simplicity of the rules and serve as a basis of education for increasing competency among officials. ONE FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE After a lengthy discussion, but one fundamental change was made in the rules or regulations for 1923. This change was the abolishment of the onside kick from scrimmage formation, a feature which was said to have been little used in recent years, and has been difficult to rule upon when it occurred. However, the onside kick from kick-off formation was not affected by this decision.
The committee devoted most of its time to clarifying the rules of the king, a number of
Bad Feeling Existed Between Laundryman, Who Has a Colored Wife, and Neighborhood Colored Folks.
Kinston, N. C.-John W. Tung, a Chinese laundryman, on East North street, near Spruce's Alley, shot and killed Lottie Latham or Metz, 28, of Spruce's Alley, in front of his place of business, Tuesday night about 8 o'clock.
The shooting attracted a crowd of curious persons and all sorts of rumors flew thick and fast as to the cause of the murder.
The most reliable reports state that the Chinaman and a 13 year old son of the dead woman had some trouble a few minutes before the shooting and the boy's mother threatened to beat the Chinaman if he further molested her son. An argument led to a brawl in which, it is said, some of the woman's companions joined.
After what is claimed to have been a street fight in which the dead woman's sister also suffered many facial bruises, the laundryman rushed back into the door of his place, where he stood and fired two shots point-blank at the Latham or Metz woman, who was standing beside a telephone pole about twenty feet away. She fell dead from the bullet that penetrated her chest below the left breast. It is said the Chinaman will be admitted to bail. Neighborhood folks say that friction has existed between the colored people of that section and the laundryman, someone in a house where they betrayed his colored wife and the people of her race, the Chinaman accusing the women of Spruce's Alley of harboring his wife and exposing her to the attentions of colored men. For this reason, Tung was bitter against the residents of the alley and it is believed that the murder was a culmination of sordidness and racial incompatibility.
James J. Jeffries Broke;
Files Bankruptcy Petition
Los Angeles, Calif.—Jas. J. Jeffries, former heavyweight champion, has filed a voluntary petition in bankruptcy in the local Federal Court, listing his liabilities at $292,183, with assets of $130,950. Jeffries who gave his occupation as farmer and who at one time was ratied a millionaire, received his greatest single source of income from his fight with Jack Johnson, 40 per cent of the gate, for that bout amounted to $400,000; he received a bonus of $10,000,000; he $65,000 for motion picture rights. Conservatively estimated his total earnings from the ring, directly or indirectly, amounted to considerable more than $500,000.
Only A Picture Left Of 500 Gallons Rum
Washington, March 14.—With the mist-shrouded Lincoln memorial as an imposing back ground, federal revenue agents today poured in the Potomac river more than 600 gallonose confiscated liquor—corn whiskey, Italian home made wine, and a small quantity of "the real stuff."
The obsequies opened at 1418 Penn sylvanie avenue, in the government cellar, where the liquor was stored. A crowd gathered around the sidewalk opening to which the tins bottles, jars and kegs were conveyed by an elevator.
Newspaper photographers and motion picture men were stationed at all points of vantage, some climbing the balconies overhead. A motor to balconies overhead. A motor truck backed up to the curbing, and agent lifted the liquor into this vehicle. The entire quantity to be destroyed filled the truck.
The cortege proceeded to a muddy eminence on the river, in the rear of the Lincoln Memorial. Photographers automobiles and a machine full of revenue agents followed the ligation, denuded truck, opened the ceremony by rushing several bottles-to ruins on the road at the brink of the river. Others broke bottles against the side of the truck. The dry workers left a keg fall to the mud, and agents with nxe and pick-axe upraised, waited obligingly for the word from the officious camera-men. "Go," said the spokesman for the knights of the lens.

minor changes. These alterations included: Imposing the penalty of 15 yards for clipping; either from the spot where the ball was put in play, as the former rule provided, or where the offense occurred which ever will give the offended; side the most ground; removal of the five yard penalty, where an onside man touches a kicked ball; giving the defending team the ball if it intercepts an incomplete illegal forward pass, instead of allowing the attacking team to put it in play again; imposing for delay in starting the second half a penalty of 25 yards, the same as that for delay at the start of the game, but at the discretion of the referee.
OTHER CHANGES
As a result of the removal of the onside kick, the committee eliminated the touchback, where the player who is offside and within the opponent's 10-yard line, is touched by the ball kicked by his own side. Formerly the touchback, under these circumstances, resulted in giving the ball to the defending side on its own 20-yard line.
Hereafter, time out will be taken during the try, for point after touch-down, as precluded under the old goal kicking attempt.
A new type of football, which differed from the standard type in that the valve was on the opposite side from the leeings, was exhibited to the rules committee, but the committee did not give its stamp of approval to a new type of football. It was claimed that the new type football is better balanced than the old type.
Hall and Walter Camp were re-elected to their respective offices together with W. S. Langford, of Trinity and F. W. Moore, of Harvard. They also form the new body created.
