SUICIDE NOTE TELLS OF WOMAN'S WRETCHED LIFE VOL. XXIII. NO. 17 TEN PAGES SUICIDE YOUNG WOMAN FIRES BULLET THROUGH BRAIN Mrs. Myrtle Thomas Ends Life In Her Bedroom on Lexington Street While Members of The Household Sleep. SAID HER WEAKNESS HAD CAUSED HER SHAME What sin exacted its inexorable wage, what pathos, what blighted hopes and disappointments were in the life of Myrtle Thomas, aged 60, that drove out of the world for further earthly violence and caused her to end her young life with a bullet thru the brain the world will probably never know. The young woman was found Tuesday morning lying on the floor of her room at 916 Lexington street with a bullet hole through the temple and beside her a 38 calibre owl head pistol with one empty chamber. An alleged suicide note found under her body by detective Leon Nowitsky told the story of her death there was interwoven in her life a story of sin and wretchedness is borne out by the note which read as follows: Mrs. Piddick: You have tried hard to make a woman out of me, but there is something bad in me in that I cannot understand. God bless you and keep you for I am going to end it all. This note will surely vindicate you to my poor sister, brother and dear old grandmother. I have nothing to say. I am so ashamed of my weakness. -MYRTLE THOMAS. To whom it may concern: Give neither Riddick no trouble. They know nothing of my affairs and of my suffering. I am bad through and through. —MYRTLE THOMAS. This note was scribbled in ink on a regular size sheet of paper while the writer was, evidently, under a very nervous strain. The Riddicks referred to in the note are Mr. and Mrs. N. L. Riddick, at whose home the suicide lived. A NATIVE OF NEW YORK Mrs. Myrtle Thomas came to this city from New York around the first of the year and made the acquaintance of Mrs. Riddick with whom she went to reside. She returned to New York recently, but came back to Norfolk. She informed her acquaintances here that she had a husband living in New York, but just why she spent so much time away from him has not been revealed. The Riddicks made things pleasant for her in their home and aided her in forming a circle of friends, yet it is understood that they noticed that at times she was prepared to be melancholy and depressed, but she never admitted anyone to the secrets of her life. She had planned to return to her home the middle of this week and nearer the time approached for her to go it is said, the more depressed she appeared to be. But no one had ever heard her threaten to take her life. Tuesday morning at 6:10, Mr. Rildick stated that he was awakened by the report of a pistol coming from the direction of the young woman's room, and upon investigation found her lying in a pool of blood, her body warm, but life extinct. HAD NOT RETIRED From the appearance of her room she had not retired during the night, it is said, and evidently had been out of the room until the wee hours of the morning. She was dressed except shoes, her other clothes being only somewhat disheveled. Everything in the room was in perfect order. Police headquarters was notified and detectives Notizzy and Manby investigated. It was found that the bullet passed "entirely through the woman's head and fell on the floor. Coroner William's viewed the body after which it was turned over to undertaker J. A. Brown. In her room was found a letter written either during the night or the day before, addressed to Albert H. Green, 148-West 128th street, New York City, who is said to be the woman's husband. In this letter she wrote that she had spent the money she had saved to come home when she would have to have more, stating further that her ankle was giving her trouble. There was nothing said to indicate she intended taking her life. READ "BLOOD MONEY" It Will Make Your Blood Tingle. Second Installment on Page 7. Intensive Vocational Training for Colored Youths Washington, D. C.—The colored boy, who wishes to become a farmer can now receive practical agricultural training in the public schools of his community, says Calvin F. McIntosh, member of the Federal Board for Vocational Education. In 15 of the 17 Southern States which maintain separate public schools, vocation schools of agriculture have been opening in these schools, the colored boy is offered intensive training to fit him for all branches of practical farming. At the close of the fiscal year 1921-22, a total of 165 vocational agricultural schools for colored Glass Manufacturer Convicted Upon Charge of Receiving Stolen Glass Valued at $4,000. H. Omohundro, owner and operator of the Norfolk Mirror Factory at 321 Brewer street, was convicted by a jury in Corporation Court No. 1, Wednesday and sentenced to two years in the penitentiary upon a charge of receiving glass valued at $4,000 said to have been stolen from the Builder's Supply Corporation. Robert Layton, formerly a truck driver for the supply concern, who it is charged stole and sold the glass to Mr. Omohundro pleaded guilty to a charge of grand larceny, and was sentenced to one year with a suspended sentence. The prosecution introduced evidence intending to show that for sixteen months Layton had purloined glass from his employer which he sold to the defendant for a small per centage of its value. Officials of the company stated that they had been unable to trace the missing glass until a concession was made by Layton. On the stand Omohundro denied that he was any way implicated in the theft. He asserted that he had never had an agreement with Layton, whereby the latter was to furnish him with stolen property. Furthermore, he declared that on March 13, he was enticed into the office of the Building Supplies Corporation and forced by duress and fear of bodily harm into signing a note for $2,000, payable on demand, and a deed of trust transferring his mirror factory as security. He asserted that the "threatening attitude" of those in the office frightened him into signing the note. He has filed a suit in Circuit Court to be relieved of the responsibility of this note. On cross-examination by Mr. Old, Mr. Omohundro denied having made a statement Mr. Barron to the effect that the glass he had received "did not amount to $4,000, but was something like $2,000." He denied also that he had admitted receiving the stolen glass. Mr. Barron-tested that the defendant had told him that he had been receiving stolen goods from Layton, and that he was sorry. sorry. H. Omohundro is regarded as one of the most successful race business men in the city. His glass factory is located in the downtown section and is owned outright by him. There some of the finest art and stained glass in the country is manufactured and his business is so unique in many of its phases that there is but small competition in his line. His factory has supplied some of the finest church and the city with stained glass. es. His case will be appealed. He claims that the whole proceedings are an attempt to ruin his business. Attorney Edward Waldridge defended Mr. Omohundro. suicide used was his property. He stated that it had been kept in his room unloaded and how when she secreted it out he did not know. Every cartridge in the weapon when found was new, when and where she bought the bullets, if she bought them it had not been disclosed. at all, has no abo. Whether the victisultudes that bore on her mind and drove her to the rash act all triumphed 'before she came to this city or that she was in some way involved in a sordid affair here is not known. She was a comely young woman, and one who all would have thought of everything to live for. had everything A telegram was sent to Albert H. Green, whom she stated was her husband, notify him of Mrs. Thomas's death. Her body was being held for his arrival here when this paper went to press. While the detective bureau is convinced that it was unquestionably a suicide, it is intimated in several quarters that there were incidents during the night before she slew her self which when thoroughly investigated, will throw some light on her motive. Upon the request of the dead girl's sister, very effort will be made to charge the charged atmosphere rounding the tragic end of this young NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, APRIL 28, 1923 people were in operation. This number compares with 133 schools, reported for the previous Year. Pupils enrolled in agricultural classes in 1921-22 numbered 4,064. In 1920-21, the enrollment was only 3,243. The increase for the year approximated 25 per cent. The only limiting factor to the expansion of these schools is the lack of trained Negro vocational teachers, says Mr. McIntosh. To supply teachers, the States are maintaining teacher-training schools. Last year, 280 prospective vocational teachers were in training in these schools. In 12 A. MISS AUGUSTA SAVAGE A committee of eight American architects, painters and sculptors, with full authority to pass on applications of American students for entrance to the Fountainebue School of Fine Arts, in France, has turned down the application of Miss Augusta Savage, because she is of the Negro race. They profess to believe her trip to France and her presence in the school would be disagreeable to some of her fellow students—white—and embarrassing to her. Miss Savage has studied sculpture at Cooper Union ever since she came to New York two years ago from a Florida village, after having attended a Florida state normal school. The matter is to be put before the French authorities at Fontaineblue by Alfred W. Martin, a leader of the Ethical Culture Society, who has interested himself in the case. PENNSYLVANIA FAVORS ANTI-LYNCHING BILL Stevens' Bill Passes Lower House After Four Hours Debate into Early Morning. Special to Journal and Guide Harrisburg, Pa.—After four hours debate which carried last night's session into the early morning hours, the Stevens' Anti-Lynching Bill passed the House of Representatives with only one negative vote against it. So tense was the interest in this measure, an evidenced by the crowd in attendance which packed every available space, that the result of the balloting gave a great surprise. censorship. So skillfully had the author of this remedial legislation engineered this measure that every amendment proposed was defeated. The bill is almost a replica of the Dyer Bill, as it was originally introduced in Congress. The only difference is that it is made applicable to the State. EVERY DEMOCRAT SUPPORTED BILL. The entire Democratic delegation of forty-three members voted for the Stevens Bill. The one negative vote was cast by a Republican. The bill goes to the Senate next Wednesday for the final passage, and will soon become a law, as Governor Pinchot is strongly urging the measure. Representative Andrew F. Stevens, the author of the bill, is a member of the well known banking firm of Brown and Stevens of Philadelphia. He is one of the most popular men in public affairs, the most recipient of great awards from all classes for his remarkable tact and efficiency as a new maker. Already he is being mentioned for higher legislative honors. UNION 2 ST PAUL 0. UNION 2, ST. PAUL Lawrenceville, Va., April 18—Union University came out a 2 to 0 victory over St. Paul School today, two errors costing the home team the game. Wallace of St. Paul, twirling one of the best games of his career, struck out fifteen Union men. The contest was one of the most thrilling games witnessed on the St. Paul field. of the States, further assistance is given to vocational teachers by itinerant teacher trainers who spend part of each year travelling from school to school, and aiding in the organization of local work. Vocational education for Negroes is supported by combined Federal, State, and local appropriations.

All schools receiving Federal and State money must be public, and SECOND ANNUAL FOOD SHOW HERE MAY 21-26 SECOND ANNUAL FOOD SHOW HERE MAY 21-26 Big Event Will Be Held Under Auspices of Norfolk Journal and Guide, May 21-26. The Second Annual Food Show under auspices of NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE will be held at the Norfolk: Auditorium, 731 Church street, May 21 to 26, inclusive, with a Better Homes Demonstration an added feature. It is the purpose of the promoters this year to make the occasion one of real value to those co-operating as well as to the public. The Better Homes feature will embrace lecture and demonstrations on the theme, furnishing, planning and opening of the home. For this purpose the services of several teachers of Domestic Art and Science have been secured. Negotiations are also under way for the securing of a number of County Home Demonstration Agents to lecture on the subject of improving the home. Each merchant occupying booths will be given ample opportunity to display and demonstrate their products and co-operation in securing competent persons to do so. Every effort will be made to make the occasion one of real benefit to both the public and the manufacturer or dealer in food products and home furnishings. The First Annual Food Show for colored people held last year was the first of its kind in the life of the city. It was a success from the opening to the closing night. More than five thousand persons attended and grocery bargains prevailing at the early booths were snapped up by the crowd of housewives. There was also plenty of playful entertainment beginning with afternoon with a dance. Patrons kept full of good music and good gourds handed out. This year will surpass last year's efforts as the promoters have behind them a year's experience in conducting such affairs and, moreover, a good deal of study has been given the project during the past year.

When the young women walked at a rapid gate to rid themselves of the insulters the ruffians then throw stones at them. Fortunately no one seriously hurt, but an otherwise pleasant evening was spoiled unwarrantedly. The identity of the attackers, was not learned. South Waging War On Illiteracy (The Associated Negro Press) Hot Springs Ark. — A resolution declaring that illiteracy must be wiped out of the South before the census of 1930 is taken, was adopted unanimously late today by representatives of 14 Southern States, gathered for the closing session of the Illiteracy Conference of Southern States. This declaration followed closely upon a concise statement of the educational situation in the South, as summarized by Mrs. Cora Wilson Stewart, of Kentucky, chairman of the conference and also of the illiteracy commission of the National Education Association. Two important points were brought out. "One that was that colored people are more interested in learning to read and write is the poorer whites and the other, that the South is being to realize that a great portion of its racial problem comes from illiterate whites. "These are the most lawless elements in the South, and the hardest to deal with," said one of the speakers. "When all of our citizens are educated out emancipation from race hatreds will begin."

The instruction in these schools must be of a character to actually fit the graduate pupil to successfully enter the vocation of agriculture. The cost of such schools is almost completely reimbursed by the yield of farm products of the pupils, in supervised practice work, and by the yield of farm pupils are required to put in six months of each year in practice farming, under school supervision. During the fiscal year 1920-21, farm projects were completed by 2,475 pupils in the school for colored children. The total crop yield from such projects was $211,389.08. Dr. Emmett J. Scott's telegram to Judge Elbert H. Gary, chairman of the United States Steel Corporation, stating that ample labor to man the great industries of the country could be drawn from eight million colored people in the South has given considerable impetus to the discussion of the present immigration laws, to which Judge Gary BRIEF'S FROM THE WEEK'S NEWS (By The Associated Negro-Press) Atlanta, Ga.

Set Up New Record For Continuous Piano Playing Graham W. Jackson, 710 Carroll street, Portsmouth, is the young pianist who played the first twenty-seven hours and thirty-two minutes of the endurance dancing test staged at the Dalby Dancing School by Chas. H. Meyers and Miss Eleanor Spruill Taylor when Miss Taylor made a record of over 90 hours. the previous record for continuous piling marathon race was 23 1-2 hours, made at Cleveland, Ohio, and that his feat of playing 27 1-2 hours set up a new record. Young Jackson says that Miss Eleanor Spruill Taylor when Miss Taylor made a record of over 90 hours. the previous record for continuous piano playing for marathon dancing was 23 1-2 hours, made at Cleveland, Ohio, and that his fest of playing 27 1-2 hours set up a new record. Young Jackson says that know, he states, that he was to be called upon to play continuously for the marathon until he had performed three hours and a half. He went in to the contest without any rest or preparation, having played for a dance practically all of the previous night. "You long for luxury, ease and joy; You're set on breaking in the show, I've tried it too; believe me, boy." SUBSCRIPTION PRICE $2.00 PER YEAR A new development in the vocational field is the organization of part-time and evening classes, for adult farmers. At the close of the fiscal year 1921-22, there were 64 part-time or evening schools in operation, with an enrollment of 1,053 pupils. Thru the part-time and evening schools vocational training is extended to the great group which is already outside of the public schools. The vocational schools for Negroes are conducted directly by the States, with the co-operation of the Federal Board for Vocational Education. H. O. Sargent is the field representative of the Federal Board in this activity. SE LABOR New Working Parts Lumber Man iterates Statement made cites Some of Fundament Exodus of Labor. takes exception, and the new exodus of colored people from Southern farms and lumber industries to the North and West. South is Shorthanded That there already exists a shortage of labor in the South is the claim set forth by Mr. John M. Gibbs, secretary-treasurer of the North Carolina Pine Association, who wrote Dr. Scott for particulars/regarding his knowledge of Southern conditions and information as to how the labor he told Judge Gary was available could be rotten out of the South. Mills Running Part Time After reciting that there were 150 members in the North Carolina Pine Association, scattered throughout Maryland, Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama, and that there were approximately 60,000 Negroes employed in their plants, Mr. Gibbs stated in his letter to Dr. Scott that "at no time in the past six months have we had a surplus of labor at our mills and in the yards and mills." Situation Growing Worse The situation is growing worse, he stated, and none of the mills are running full time. What is true of the lumber industry, wrote Mr. Gibbs, is also true of other Southern industries. In concluding his leap, Mr. Gibbs told. Dr. Scott, in his statement concerning the economic condition of the Southern colored people "fatalicious." On this point he said: "Argument Fallacious" "A portion of your telegram reads as follows: "They are tied to a one-crop system and oppressed by economic conditions that hinder and prevent their fullest development and the fullest enjoyment of American citizenship." "I presume you intend the foregoing statement to depict the Negro's condition in the South. The argument is so fallacious that there is no need to discuss it at this time. I would, however, suggest that you familiarize yourself with the conditions as they actually are, after the death of which, I am sure you will admit that you are wrong. Therefore, I can only conclude that the article with which you are credited has been seen through a misunderstanding of the real situation. "Without wanting to appear captious or argumentative, I really would appreciate some kind of an explanation." Dr. Scott's Reply In his reply Dr. Scott informs Mr. Gibbs that he is a Southern man and thoroughly familiar with Southern conditions; that under a commission from the Carnegie Endowment for the causes of Negro migration during the war, and sums up his conclusions (Continued on Page Four) Color Line To Be Effaced In Next Olympic Games Paris, April—Algeria and Morocco may be invited to participate in the next Olympic games, said the French president, the american Olympic committee. "I see no reason why we should draw the color line," he said. "In fact, some of our best college athletes in American Colleges have been Negroes and there never has been any serious objection to competing on teams with white men." The International Olympic Committee will meet in Rome soon and Mr. Sherill is enroute there. OHIO TO HONOR THE MEMORY OF COLONEL YOUNG Assembly Passes Set of Resolutions Attesting to The Worth and Character of Splendid Race Soldier. STATE TO BE REPRESENTED AT ARLINGTON CEREMONY (The Associated Negro Press) Columbus, Ohio.—Colonel Charles Young is to be honored by Ohio, his home state, when his remains are brought from Africa, to be interred forever in Arlington, the final resting place of the nation's soldier dead. Resolutions to this effect were unanimously passed by the State and House of Representatives of the Ohio legislature, being introduced in the response, bodied by Senator McCoy and Representative Harry E. Davis, the latter colored. The resolutions state: "Whereas, Colonel-Charles Young, a native of Ohio, and the only colored American to attain the rank of colonel in the regular army of the United States, was assigned to command the Battalion I, O.N. G. during that period, and through his oneyear skill, and knowledge of military tactics, succeeded in bringing it up to a state of efficiency second to none in the army; and there after served with distinction and honor in the Philippines, on the Mexican border, and in the World War, and later died in the line of duty in Liberia; and "Whereas, The State of Ohio owes a debt of gratitude to the patriotic sons of Ohio of African descent, who in all wars, waged by this government, have served with unswerving devotion and loyalty to the Flag and all for which it stands; therefore, be it "Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 85th General Assembly of the State of Ohio. That the adjutant general of Ohio be and hereby is authorized and directed to make and provide such arrangements and committees in accordance with 109 Ohio Laws, page 408, as shall properly represent the State of Ohio at the interment in Arlington, thereby showing to the memory of Colonel Charles Young the respect and honor due a citizen of this state who rendered eminent service. "Be it further resolved, That a copy of these resolutions engrossed upon parchment, be forwarded to the widow of the said Colonel Young by the clerk of the Senate and that these resolutions be printed in the appendix of the journal." SOUTHERN PROFESSOR PLEADS FOR MIGRANT SOUTHERN PROFESSOR PLEADS FOR MIGRANT Addressing Audience in New Jersey Asks Colored People to Aid Southern Brother. Vineland, N. J.—"Colored people who are already residing in the North have a wonderful opportunity before them in extending a helping hand to the migrant who is coming this way," declared Prof. Wm. Holtzclaw, principal of Utica Institute, Utica, Miss., in a thoughtful address here this week, which attracted wide attention among the white and colored people who heard him. "Mississippi, my state, is losing many of its workers, attracted to communities like this because of higher wages, better educational opportunities, and greater freedom on the pursuit of the ordinary happiness of life. Many of them are unused, to city life when they temptations. Coming North represents an entire change in their mode of living. In order that they may become assets to these communities to which some and have the fullest opportunity for development and usefulness, the colored people who are already established should keep in close contact with the newcomers and point the way. This will lessen the friction which has been noticeable in some communities as a result of the inflow of Southerners. The planters of Mississippi are worried over the loss of their labor. In my section meetings are being held to hear the grievances of the colored people, schools are being built, and leaders are urged to talk frankly about the reason the exodus and I for one, having so I tell the Southerners of what that with fair treatment, safety of life and property, equitable distribution of school funds, square healing on the plantations, better wages and a chance to vote, the Negroes would rather live in the South than in any other section of the country. "Am I right?" he asked the colored section of his audience. And nearly every hand went up. Professor Holtz-claw, who is a speaker of rare ability and tremendous force, has been filling engagements in various sections of the North, lecturing upon the problems of the day as they affect colored people. OUT-OF-TOWN CALLERS Messrs. M. S. Konec and C. W. Banton, of Washington, D. C., were visitors in the city this week and welcomed callers, at the Guide office.

There is nothing so ingenious as fear; he is most ingenious than fear; he is most especially when its concern is with the preservation of money.—Bayle St. John. The welcome sound, "Play Ball!" is again heard in the land. A man who should know says that the Sunday-school has served its purpose and must pass out. But he does not know. Our Sunday-schools in Norfolk were never more popular and numerously attended. Sugar, which has been as low as three and a half cents since the World War, has got as far as nine and a half cents a pound and those who ought to know say it is on the way to twenty cents. Why? Because the proffitee asked by him to teach the farmers. "There is plenty of sugar in sight, but if the consumers want it they must pay what the proffitee ask for it. One of the finest services which Mr. Herbert Cochran has rendered the city of Norfolk as Public Defender is the abolishment of "third degree" methods upon the part of the police in obtaining evidence or confessions from prisoners. Mr. Cochran's firm and courageous protest against this brutal and generally lawful practice brought immediate orders from City Manager Ashburner and Director of Public Safety Borland that the practice he discontinued. Following these orders, and as if to give emphasis to them Police Justice Spindle fined a policeman in his court $10 for assaulting a prisoner while making an arrest. Such action on the part of the authorities will humanize the police system in some spots where it is deficient in that respect. Long Distance Dancing Dancing is a very pleasant and healthful recreation when indulged in decently and in order. That is a very hard thing to do with the modern dancing, with jazz accompaniments, which has swept the Christian nations off their feet, the immortal and suggestive being the things accomplished whether aimed at or not. The French, who run to realism in literature and art, and most other things, and whom prudence was not expected, have had to prohibit the extremes of vulgarity which have become popular in the gay resorts of Paris, and the English musicians complain so loudly against the Athenian society of musical jazz and frank dancing that the matter has reached the British House of Commons. The regal, stately and modest music and dancing of the days of our youth appear to have gone forever. The sated appetite for amusement, however, is seeking always some new thing. Long distance dancing broke out somewhere not long ago and has swept the country, the element of crucify entering largely in the endurance tests, in so far that the authorities in several cities have had to place a limit to the hours such tests shall go. All physical and mental tests are helpful when properly indulged in, but long distance tests are always hurtful and react upon those who undergo them. Those who care for notoriety never think of this. More's the pity. Liquors, Sweets and Smokes A New York judge says that liquor drinking is now given by most criminals as cause of their downfall, and the Volstead Enforcement act is accused of making the Nation one of criminals in the illicit sale and manufacture of liquors and the efforts to enforce the act. True it is that automobile accidents and banditry and Liquor enforcement scandals, with tragedies growing out of sex relations, monopolize most of the space in the daily newspapers and make a nauseating and monotonous assembling of news and opinion, corrupting and demoralizing of public morality to the best degree possible. An generation fed daily upon such rotten news and opinion cannot possibly be strong intellectually, nor morally. The prohibition of strong drinks has not only led to much demoralization in the manufacture and sale of liquors, but it has led to a greater consumption of coffee and sweets of all kinds and to a radical increase in the use of tobacco, especially in smokes of all kinds. The Department of Commerce says that smoking' is on the increase, there having been a jump of 165 per cent in the value of cigars and cigarettes from 1914 to 1921, and of this 4 per cent was from 1919 to 1921. The value in 1915 was $314,844,000, and in 1921 $73,662,000, and in 1922 $96,749,000. We are densely physically and spiritually through Noah and Lot, delightfully (from the vine), from a drinking ancestry, and a large portion of mankind appear incapable of overcoming the appetite for strong drink, but the salvation of mankind depends upon doing so. Governor Bilbo in Jail Not long ago Governor Catts, of Florida, who among his other accomplishments was a preacher of the Gospel, was convicted of peonage in the handling of convicts of the State, but against whom the conviction has not been pressed. Now former Governor Theodore G. Bilbo, of Mississippi, has just been fined $100 and sent to jail for thirty days, at Oxford, for contempt, by Judge Edwin Holmes, of the United States District Court. Governor Bilbo had failed to answer a summons to appear as a witness in the case of Miss Friar Birkhead M. Russell when the case was governed Lee M. Russell when the case was tried for trial last December. "Had you been a laboring man the sentence would have been the same," said the Judge. The enormous increase of white criminality in the Southern States is making it necessary to revise the rule that white folks are all good and can do no unlawful acts, and that all Negroes are bad and can do no lawful acts, and that, therefore, there must be one law for the white man and another law for the black man. Of a truth, "Time makes ancient wrong uncouth." We shall have a better condition of affairs in the Southern States when white and black criminals are judged by the same law and evidence and when neither white nor black unfortunates can be railroaded to convict camps to supply the demand for cheap labor and to swell the fees of judges and sheriffs. In order to protect his own rights the white man is being constrained to protect the rights of the black man. His name would indicate that Governor Bilbo is a descendant of the Spanish conquestors under DeSota, whose remains sleep in the bottom of the cave. But, in even the high and low get what is coming to them. Leasing and Flogging Convicts A famous journalist, one who had been with John Brown in Kansas, once said that he never knew a man who was good enough to control the liberties of another man. That is a hard thing to say, and would argue the average deprivacy of mankind when placed in "a little brief authority." The disposition to tyranny as shown from the gang foreman to the president of large corporations, determined to get as much work out of a given piece of man power as it can and leave the man with sufficient vitality to produce, is so very general that our law books are crowded with statutes intended to curb the disposition. What is true of corporations, which are said to have no souls, is true of individuals as employers, and the disposition extends not only to man power but to animal power, the dumb creature often being worked beyond endurance and given not sufficient rest and provender to keep it on its feet. The besetting sin of Christian mankind may be summed up in the greed for power and wealth and the disposition to use them brutally when unrestrained by law and public opinion. The prison systems of the Southern States have been operated upon the brutal principle of greed, profit and graft ever since the Civil War, with the lease system as the root of all evil, and thousands upon thousands of Negroes have been railroaded to prison and worked and beaten to death in the effort to get out of them all of the labor they were capable, with the driver's lash and bloodhounds to goad the unfortunates to labor and death. Only of late years have the prisons of the South begun to be killed with white as well as black crimens but those bent upon giving profits out to the poor have not drawn the color line in using the lash and the bloodhound, and this fact has led to an outcry against the system which may lead to radical reforms. The New York World's special correspondent investigating the penal conditions in Florida, says: "Taking only the minimum figure, 617, for the last three months, the number of whippings administered during the last twelve months to prisoners in Florida is conservatively estimated at 2,468. On an average 200 men are whipped each month. "These records show that in all the various camps during the last three months there were 2,002 prisoners, of whom thirty-five were women, all Negroes. Of the 1,967 male prisoners, 1,472 were Negroes and 495 were white. "The 2,468 whippings reported were divided among 1,967 men. Almost every prisoner, it seems reasonable to assume from these figures, was whipped at least once. "Incidentally, at twenty of these sixty-six camps forty-two bloodhounds were kept to pursue prisoners who attempted to escape. There was little use in trying to get away from the lash." The State of Florida is all stirred up over the disclosures following the murder of Martin Tabert, a North Dakota farm youngster, made by the New York World, with the demand of the legislature of North Dakota that the legislature of Florida abolish the convict lease system. The Florida legislature is now busy investigating the whole system and the promise is that the lease system will be abolished and radical forms be inaugurated in the treatment of criminals by the State. But it took the brutal murdering of a young white man to stir up the State and the legislature of Florida. The United States, on the side of the Nation against the prison abuses of Florida. What has been done in the case of Florida can be done in every State where such abuses are practiced by turning the light of publicity upon the system. study upon the system Briefs and Spices (BY S. J. C.) The atrocities perpetrated in Florida prison camps are tame compared with the censored press reports that emanate from more civilized sections. So many stock concerns offer such flattering returns that one is liable to doubt the grandeur of a safe institution that only offers four per cent. That's another perplexity. The trouble seems to be, and it's the funny part of it too, that the immigration bars don't restrict our relatives immigrating. Sousa displays real courage by selecting Foster's melody "Old Folks at Home," as one of the world's best melodies, judging from the number of times we heard it hissed. Although it is generally believed that the late flirtatious spring weather caused the charming this season, youth one obsessed this season, aspiration is aroused when it blooms a little higher in one cheek than the other. It cannot grow on false pretense. Heard Around Town By A.

I was at a dance in Titusown, and late in the evening, I took a walk out- side to get some air—likewis- ness, no moon—no stars— just blackness. I bumped into something in the dark: "Her voice was soft as softest wool, Her words just thrilled me thru." We walked about. It was dark. Nothing in sight but darkness, whispered sweet words of love and I loved her. I loved her. I proposed and she accepted. It was dark—nothing in sight but darkness. She bid me return alone while she mused upon what had been said. Next morning, I was told that she had given me four old chaperon wished to see me. I wondered if she knew—but when I remembered the inky darkness of the night before—she couldn't know. But she did know. I'm thru with girls. I'm leaving for New York tonight. If I don't, I'll have to marry—the chaperon. Cheerfulness is an excellent wearing quality. It has been called the bright weather of the heart. Chas. S.

NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE Can one be inoculated against divorce, as against typhoid? with information about the prinitive with information about the primitive instincts of man, and the impulses, the working of the human mind, the instability of human emotions, and the will as a stabilizer of human con "But that stuff is too high brow. It's a post-graduate course for students," someone protests. Not at all. A liberal education it may be, but it is of a kind not impossible to a nation which one generation learned how to control typhoid, and malaria; and how to swat the There's this difference, however: we wanted to get rid of the physical diseases and we swatted the fly with dice. We are not so anxious to rid the race of the emotional diseases the composite of which is divorce. We can kill off all of divorce must set the will to work. It is not doing so at the present time. Why? Kipling's verse puts the reason thus: "These are the four that are never content, that have never been filled since the world began." Acta and the glut of the Kite, and the hands of the Ape, and the Eyes of Man." Letters From The People The South and the Negro Editor, Journal and Guide. Sir: I have read with considerable interest the information contained in yours of the 21st and I propose taking the Journal and Guide home with me this evening so that I may have an opportunity of reading it thru without fear. Frequently it is altogether too true that measures are instituted in some sections of our Country which are terrorizing to our colored citizens but it has been my observation that these measures are begun by those people in the kite which do not intend for high class citizenship in the white race. Social righteousness should be every man's objective regardless of color and when the standard of fairness to all is pulled down, no matter by whom and regardless of color, this will cause gloom to somebody somewhere. From time immemorial the Southern white man and the Southern colored man have worked side by side. There have been and remain several interactions between them. Even as I am writing, I can visualize several colored men, who, during the past thirty years, have filled positions of trust and responsibility for the company and have been be associated for a great many years. I look upon these men as friends who have been tried. They have proven true. I appreciate their friendship and naturally, such a sentiment of respect and affection. The welfare, the education, the moral uplift of the colored man are questions which I am sure are seriously considered by our soundest white citizens and whenever I am inclined to employ the "iron heel," he is not only violating the rights of man but he is also disrupting and thwarting the law of brotherly love which should be big enough, broad enough and genuine enough to cast off selfishness. There can be no question but that the Southland is the place for our mutual happiness. It is here that we understand the whims and caprices of each other. There is a bond of sympathy inherent and also cultivated by acquaintance and by which cannot be ignored and it is my earnest hope that some plan may be evolved whereby our march together shall be continued to the end that we may evermore fight our battles side by side of yore. Yors very truly. JNO M. GIBBS, Secretary-treasurer, N. C. Pine Association. Norfolk Va.

"The Negro can be kept on the cotton plantation, by kindness and personal attention," said Kaminer, president of the South Carolina Cotton Grower's Association here recently, in discussing Cotton's Big Need. "The landowner needs to get the cotton plantation continued." "The production of cotton can be based too much on the ignorance of To the unfilled eye of man's is due the phenomenal growth of divorce today. On an average, more than twice as many divorces are granted to the wife as to the husband. It is important information for a girl who is filling her hope and looking up the etiquet of weddings. But it is information which she ought to have and her lover as a cupid issues no insurance policies. Proper precaution prevents many a confuguration. If it were admitted before marriage that the man is twice as liable as the woman to pay a lesser for divorce than the woman to pay a lower, which set a watch upon emotions, which might prove unstable. And engaged persons would profitably discuss a truth as put by Chastenton. He writes of "the dance of divorce." A man had a hundred houses, there would still be more houses than he had days in which to dream of them; if a man had a hundred wives, there would still be more women than we could ever know, and philosophy that behind them is a considerable element of this unnatural hunger. ** * They are crying for the world, and if they had it, they would want another. What is vital to poetry, where, in places of art, poetry is in polities, is choice; a creative power in the will as well as in the mind." Royal Love Story, 3,500 Years Old, Is Revealed by Records Found in Tomb of Pharoh. San Francisco.—The great Red Egyptian moon, hanging over the Nile, inspired in men and women 3,500 years ago the same passions it inspires today. Love, as self-sacrificing and unrewarded consequence as any love detailed in a modern novel, dominated the lives of the people of ancient Egypt, though inscriptions have taught us to look upon them, wooden-like creatures. The sensation of a royal love scandal was filling the Nile valley when King Tutankhamen, monarch whose tomb has just been opened, was born. For Amenhotep III, father of Tutankhamen, so loved that he cast tradition to the winds, spanned maritime lands with powerful neighboring nations and Tit, a simple lady-in-waiting. SCARAB TELLS TALE All this is revealed in an ageworn chipped little piece of stone—the marriage scarf of Amenhotep—which has lain 20 years practically unnoticed in a gallery in the University of California anthropological museum. And this is the story as the heiroglyphics tell it to Prof. H. F. Lutz, Egyptologist at the university, and as Prof. Lutz tells it to you: "The scarab proves there was one pharaoh to whom love was greater than throne or power. To understand the story of his father, the story of his father, Amenhotep, and of Tilia, lady-in-waiting, whom he made queen. "We who gossip over the back fence about the latest newspaper scandal can but slightly imagine the storm that broke over Egypt when it became known the pharaoh's mother's maid that snatched caledon BROADCASTS NEWS "Yet this scarab shows Amenhotep did just that, and what is more important, he made no effort to hide it. He snapped his fingers at tradition and broadcast these scarab notices that he had made to the people who had considered the royal pair to be divine. Now they were disillusioned. "Their faith crumpled. Here was one of their kind as queen; a creature of common clay. It did not anguin; well for those that were to follow. "The result of this mating was Akenaton, father of the woman Tutankhamen married. Tutankhamen himself was not born of it, but of another wife. A story of courageous love as may be found anywhere." CLUB ENTERTAINS Suffolk, Va.- "The Red Circle Club," delightfully entertained its friends April 19, at the home of Miss Josephine Bernard, 114 Popular St., with the club colors, red decorated with the club colors, red decorated. The guests were delightfully served salads, sandwiches, pickles and ice. The features of the evening were one steps, fox trots and waltzes.

But recently more Southern leaders are getting behind the movement to improve fundamental sociological conditions, thereby feeling between the landlord and tenant, largely because they rarely saw each other. Leaving the management of plantations to overseers is seldom satisfactory. We may soon learn that sharing basis of dealing with plantations either At any rate the absentee landlord is a curse to South Carolina." Rome, Ga. — Rural districts of Floyd county lost almost 40 per cent of the colored population last year to the school census. In some districts, entire populations have gone, according to W. C. Rash, county staff. Some few have come to Rome to live, but the majority have continued North. SOUTH MUST ACT QUICKLY OR LOSE Continued from Page One and his knowledge of the present situation, as follows: "I write to acknowledge receipt of your letter of April 19th. I fear from the tenor of your communication that you must not have read complete telegram but send them thereof. I hope you, send you here with one of said telegram that you more fully inform yourself of just what I said to Judge Gary. Is Familiar With Southern Conditions "Evidently you rest under the misapprehension that I am, as you state, "unfamiliar with Southern conditions." You are probably informed of the fact that I am Southerner who has spent years of his life in the country, having been born in Texas, where for a number of years I conducted a newspaper, and of my having served for 22 years in heart of the Black River, retiring to late Booker T. Washing- and of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. I also served for twenty-one years as secretary of the National Negro Business League. I am, therefore, very familiar with the early accurate knowledge of Southern conditions. "The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace commissioned me to make a study of the whole program of Negro migration during the war. The conclusions of that study are forth in a publication, only distributed by the organization. I would venture to call the conclusions of that Study to your attention." Owes Negro Square Deal "I approached the study of Negro migration in no spirit of hostility. I did approach it, however, with the very definite feeling that the South is more vulnerable than it has been given them. The horrible stories of -peonage, the lynching crime, the lack of educational opportunities, the residential and labor segregation laws, the destruction of political privileges and the curtailment of civil rights, are all matters which stimulate the migration of colored people from the South. "I am now coming to that part of your letter in which you attempt to show that there is a shortage of labor in the South. I am assuming you are referring to Negro migration in the South, the reasons therefore must be apparent to you. Even when a 50 per cent increase in wages has been made for Negro labor, I wonder if one circumstance like yourself, is not acquainted with the fact that even this increase in wages would require relative relation to the amount offered in other sections of the country. No Longer Willing to Accept Conditions "I must not fail to emphasize the fact that the Negro is no longer willing to accept the intolerable conditions to which I have referred and a lowered wage at one and the same time. It is a matter of common knowledge that the vagrancy laws of the South are used to intimidate Negro laborers to work under the intolerable conditions. It is equally a matter of common knowledge that as a result of his refusal to work under the oppressive economic conditions of the South he has even suffered himself to be placed in prison. If unwillingness to work under these restrictive and dehumanizing conditions is to be interpreted as a shortage of labor or a shortage of labor in the lumber plants and other industries of the South, there should be such a shortage. "I very definitely feel that it is the duty of colored people wherever opportunity offers to leave those sections where lynching and peonage are practiced upon them with impunity. I know quite definitely the difficulties that attach us likely to meet some of the Northern sections, but these difficulties are inconsequential when compared with the privileges of a free and untrammeled citizenship. "I am sorry that you are disposed to consider the ambition on the part of colored people to seek their fullest development and the enjoyment of the fullest American citizenship as being unworthy. I should very much dislike to feel that the South, the natural habitat of the Negro, as you say, is going to assume a permanent feel of the South, these fundamental directions. If it does, migration northward will continue. Letters of Approval "Dozens of letters and telegrams have reached me from all parts of the South—from as far for instance and from points in South as Lake Charles, Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama and Virginia from colored men and women, my telegram to Judge Gary Corney interprets the situation in their sections just as I described them. "These communications very definitely indicate that these colored Americans seeking a higher wage and release from the economic slavery which holds them in many parts of the South to a one-crop system are ready and willing to supply the labor shortage in American industrial plants where conditions are more satiric than plans are undertaken on a large and uneven scale to transfer them to the centers where their services are needed." "Very truly yours, "EMIETT J. SCOTT." St. Paul Singers Highly Entertain The St. Paul Singers of St. Paul Normal and Industrial School, Lawrenceville, Va., appeared at Emanuel A. M. E.

Pictures are said to be the greatest educational theatres in existence and the proper kind are no less inspirational. The booklet issued by Poro College should be in every Negro home in the country. The boys and girls should look through its pages, for in them is recorded the progress of a race and is pointed out an example of the worth of industriousness and honesty in dealings. In its pages may be discovered a light enterprise for struggling commercial enterprises that may well be kept in view as a guiding star. In the first pages of the folder are the pictures of Mrs. Annie M. Pope Turnbo Malone, founder of Poro College, and Mr. Aaron Eugene Browne, president of the company. It begins with the history of Poro College with its beginning in a rear upstairs room in Lovejoy, Ill., in 1900, where it remained for two years. Its next home was in business establishment on Market street in St. Louis, Mo. This building was more adapted to the needs of the growing company than the first, but eight years later it took and became inadequate for Poro needs. Mrs. Malone began the business with the manufacture of a hair dressing known as "Wonderful Hair Grower," which she sold from house to house. It was not long before it became a frigurine upon her rights that it became necessary for her to adopt a copyrighted name, when the product took the name of Poro. In 1910 it became necessary to find large quarters and the college moved to a more pretentious building that was竣工 until 1918 when the present plant was built at a cost of $750,000. SECRET TROUBLES?

NORFOLK, VA. ORDAY, APRIL 28, 1929 NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE PAGE SEVEN John Walton, an aspiring Negro lad in a Georgia village wins a scholarship in a Northern university after years of hard study. This arouses the jealousy of some of his white neighbors and they send him a warning not to leave town. John refuses to be intimidated and after postponing his trip for a few days to please his mother sets out at midnight for the railway station. Six ne'er-do-well ladds of his own age waylay him in a dark forest. Now go on with the story. A SHIVER of fear traversed John Walton's spine as he saw the dim shadowy figures before him and he realized what they meant to do to him. Just for the fraction of a second, however. Quickly rallying his powers he intuitively saw that his one chance of escape lay in putting as bold a face on the matter as possible. He remembered having read somewhere that mobs are composed of cowards and bullies—men who would not think of facing an opponent alone, except when victory seemed certain. The only way to treat with the mob, the same thought told him, was to either to amuse it in some spectaaculer way, or to face without the least show of fear, as an experienced trainer of wild beasts. Once show the least sign of cowardice and You are lost. Luckily, he had a revolver. This gave him added confidence, but they were at least six to one, and might there not be at least one in the party? Bailey's Park THE PARK is undergoing extensive improvements of facilities and will open better prepared than ever to provide wholesome amusement and recreation to the public. Parties interested in renting concessions are requested to apply to 303 MARKET STREET, NORFOLK, VIRGINIA Between hours of five and eight p. m. All of this reasoning flashed thru brain with lightning rapidity. Although taken aback with the suddenness of the attack, he had been deeming something of a similar nature in his mind for the past week, and the decision had been made in a sound. His first impulse was to shoot straight at the flashlight, but the fear of possible revenge on his mother and grandfather deterred him. No, he must try to escape without taking it, if possible. He said in a dry, steady staccato: "Stand still, boys. Not a move. The first man that man is a dead man. I have you covered." He stepped quickly out of the beam of light, getting a better view of his opponents. He thought he saw a movement as some one were leveling a gun. "Come on," he said sharply in the one firm voice. "I mean what I say, am pointing at Jim Stewart, I shoot at three." He been to count rapidly: "One! Two—" Stop! Stop! Hen, Josh, Bill! For his sake, stop, screamed Jim Stewart. He knew that John would be as bad as his word. "Don't shoot me, him" he whined, "we're only joking." The little band stopped short. "Ive a great mind to shoot you away, Jim," said John in mock We all jes' came to tell yo' goodie "wined someone. I knew it!" John laughed, grimly, hereame, Jim Stewart," he comanded. "Remember, I have your eye cover, one false move and will never eat another piece of sowy, or go with Kitty Dugal any day. I can see you righ now lying in Campbell's undertaking slab all messed up ready for the worms. carry up!" including Dining Room, Soda Fountain, Cigars, Tobacco and Ice Cream, Billiard Parlor and Dancing Pavilion are Jim Stewart advanced trembling. "Now turn that light round, and let me see the members of this farewell committee." John scanned the little party. "Hello Will, and Hen, and Bill! Why Josh, you're here too! So you all came to see me off and josh me a little, eh? Quite a nice little farewell party, I should say. Before I shake hands with you, Hen, I'll ask you to drop that shotgun. Oh, anywhere. At your feet will do. Will Stewart, I think I'll take that raw-hide whip as a souvenir. Just drop it right there, I'll get it later. Thank you, Will." The lads, all of whom were about John's age, looked like a pack of whipped curs. "Now boys," continued John, blithely, "have you any knives or guns? Turn your pockets out and let's see. Move quick, I'd hate to have my finger slip on this trigger." The little group moved with alacrity. Pocket-knives, cartridges, and coins fell to the road. "Now take off your coats and drop them right in your tracks." They did so. "Good," continued John, "since you're all so kind as to come and see me off, I'm not going to disappoint you. Come, one by one, and tell me how sorry you all are to see me go. You first Jim." Each advanced and shock John's hand. "Good-bye, all of you," said John in a stern, but kindly voice. "I've never done you anything, have I? Haven't I tried to be a gentleman all along. Didn't we all get along pretty well as little boys. Why should you be against me now? " "I'm only a poor Negro, trying to get along. No need to be jealous of me. I have to strive like the devil for whatever I get. You, as white men, can get what you want with a thousandth part of the trouble I had. Put in the time you use up in thinking how to keep us colored folks back doing something for yourselves and you'll be so far ahead of us you won't be able to see us. Now you may all go. Good-bye and good-luck. You may return for your things in half an hour—not before. I may be somewhere's 'round here." "John, can I say somethin'," said a voice. "Sure Hen." "I reckon you're right, John, I'm sorry." "Me, too," piped another voice. "That's all right. Go along now. First give that light. Good-bye." The six young men left. "The idea of yo' apoligisin' to that niggah," he heard some one say with an oath in a low voice. This made John think of possible danger to his mother and grandfather. He shouted through the darkness: "Remember, boys, no nonsense, or I will sneak back some night and make a Swiss cheese of somebody." Taking the gun, the cartridges and the knives, he pitched them into the woods. He then picked up his grip and continued his way, thinking deeply upon the incident. "They're to be pitied rather than censured," he said half aloud. "They were brought up that way. When their parents and even the machinery of the state—the entire South—compire to instill into them this very sort of thing, how can you expect any better?" Taking out his revolver he kissed it: "God bless you, little gat," he said, "you sure saved my life that time." John stumbled his way through the dark pine forest giving now and then a thought to the lads he had left behind. He came into a clearing at last, and looked at his watch by the moon, which had recently risen, he saw it a quarter to two. He would be at the station in another hour at least, which would mean a wait of an hour or more for the train. A strange presentiment warned him of danger. What if the returning lads had aroused the village. He was afoot, and the posse could easily overtake him at the station. The safest way, he decided, was to reach Atlanta some other way; on foot, if necessary. When he reached the cross-roads, instead of going to the station, he struck out boldly to the left until he reached the highway leading to the city. On and on, he trudged in the bracing morning air. The sun was just rising over the tops of the pine-clad hills, making dew-drops on the grass sparkle like myriads of diamonds. The dow-laden cobwebs on the ripening cung hung like glistening strings of myethysts. The birds were singing and the air was redolent with the perfume of early autumn. How beautiful it was! John Walton's heart was heavy within him as he realized he was leaving this beautiful country, the scene of many happy childhood hours, perhaps never to return. "What a pity it is," he murmured, "that some of our white folks are so bad and cruel. What a paradise the Southland would be to live in. Every prospect pleases and only man is vile. Oh, if they would only forget of us and let us all join hands for the common good, how happy we all, black and white, would be" Several automobiles passed him, almost stifling him with dust. Presently a wagon that had just passed stopped and the driver called out: "Jump up if yo' like. How far you goin'?" Running up, John thanked the driver and got up beside him. "I am going to Atlanta," said John. "I're goin' to Kingsland, about six miles from theh," said the driver, starting up his wagon. "Yu' can ketch a trolley cyar from theh right into Atlanta." "Good!" "Say, Ah jes' come from Eas' Brighton. A great big mob is waiting foh the train from Easton foh a nigger who theh claims robbed some white folks in B'eckenridge woods." "Did you hear what the Negro "Did you hear what the Negro looked like?" "Tall daik, lightish suit, and brown hat, Iuhk'd, symbody say." John realized what a narrow escape he had had. Coming to the station and not finding him the mob had telegrahed to East Brighton, the station ahead! Would any harm come to his mother and her aged father? He bitterly reproached himself for having exposed them to danger and took a solemn oath to take revenge if any harm befell them. He thought it best to say nothing of this to the driver, and quickly changed the subject. He had been passing a good many deserted cabins. Pointing to one he asked: "Gone North?" "Sho" is a scandal howse shrdl m is goin' Noth. I'd like to git away myself, but ah kaint. Ah has two boys in Chicago, and then say they likes it." They rode on chatting about the migration to the North. Presently the driver said: "See that big popular theeh? Theeh lynched a white man theeh some three, foh, yeahs back. What foh do you think?" "Attacking a colored girl?" "Ha! Ha!!' laughed the other as the idea tickled him. 'Ef then was to do that roun' heah the white folks would sho' run short o' rope. He! He!" "What did they lynch him for then? Offering to marry one after he had wronged her?" "Taint that nuther" he laughed, "but it's about us culdul folks jes' the same. 'Twas a wite man from the Noth, a labor agent who was recruit'in men for the shipya'ds and animition factries during the las' war." "I remember it! No one was caught!"

He was buried in thoughts of home and his narrow escape. At last they reached Kingsland. "Follow this road a piece and yo'll hit the cyar," said the man. CHAPTER VI. Arriving in Atlanta John's first thought was of his mother. After racking his brain for some time he at last solved the problem by writing the postman and asking him to telegraph him the latest news, under an assumed name.

A. E. While I was captain of the old Red Stockings, when Charles Brown, the well known barber, played against a white team from Washington, the Washington, Shamrock's, here in Norfolk. They not only played here but in Old Point again for big leaguers to play post season game against colored teams. In fact, last fall I had the opportunity to promote a game here between McGraw's Giants, who had recently humiliated the Yankees, who had Bill Ryan, Bancroft, Meusel, Barnes, Scott, and others of the world's champions. Sentiment, that is, official sentiment was against it, and rather than have the players suffer any embarrassment from this source, the project was abandoned. When Connie Mack's 'Athletes were holding the spotlight in baseball, the Philadelphia Giants the great team for them. When Wilt Chamberlain was with them. This was the game in which "Kid", Carter made "Buck" Freeman, the famous slugger ST. PAULITES LOSE TO UNION UNIV. ST. PAULITES LOSE TO UNION UNIV. Wallace Effective Twirler; Edgar Makes Spectacular Catch; Game Fast and Snappy. Lawrenceville, Va.—In a fast game and one that was a thriller from start to finish, Virginia Union University submerged the St. Paul team on Russell Field here today by the score of 2 to 0. Three costly errors, two by Bruce and one by Cooke, were directly responsible for the orange and black defeat. Eight hundred St. Paulites and Unionites cheered the opposing teams. Both teams played good ball as attested by the official score. In two games against Union, Union excelled Paul. Union garnered seven safeties to St. Pauls two, and drew four errors to St. Paul's eight. Wallace went the entire route for St. Paul. He hurled a brilliant game. He whipped fourteen men, among them Jackson, who swung desperately nine times at the lad's deceptive out-curve, only to have nine strikes called against him. Williams, who relieved Bruce in the fourth inning, performed exceptionally well at short stop. Parker held the first sack perfectly. Wilkerson demonstrated superior playing on the third corner, while the rest of Captain Harris' men played snappy ball. Merritt, who essayed the role on the mound for Union, was in the best of form, giving the locals only two hits. He struck out nine men. The spectacular catch by Edgar of Bruce's deep left field foul was a great feature of the game. Gregory's work at first was admirable, notwithstanding the fact that the old veteran first sacker registered three errors. Captain Adams cavorted in short stop in unique fashion, and with the exception of a muffed fly, he played a flashy and airtight game. Jackson's capability, commandable. Wilson's performance at second was superb, and his throw out of Blackwell at first after the former had stumbled and fumbled was a marvelous feat. Brach: Mask and Boffman acted in enviable form.

Waters Normal Defeats State Winston, N. C.—A large crowd witnessed the game between Waters Normal Institute and State Normal at Elizabeth City Friday, April 13.

Carter held them scoreless for five innings, he having them at his mercy, but ragged fielding caused his downhill to the Athletics and giving the 5 O'Connor team Dan McClenan made a triple in the game. Buck Freeman was a very sick person after this and was in the same position of Ruth last fall. Three years after I finished my course, Mr. William T. Hannan, president of the old Tidewater League that brought forth the popular Dave Robertson, now piloting Richmond, recognizing my influence in athletics especially in clean sports, had thousands of cards printed for me to distribute among my colored friends containing the following: "Mr. Wm T. Hannan, president of the Tidewater Baseball League, through the courtesy of James M. Harrison, respectfully invite you to attend a championship game of baseball between Norfolk and 1911." As I stated before, I started as a pitcher, retired as an umpire, but enjoyed my enthusiasm. Since 1909, my name has appeared in Spalding's Official football record as one of the colored football officials, but I have worked in few games. Recently on request of the football board I recommended Dr. Coppage. HAMPTON DEFEATS PETERSBURG G-1 HAMPTON DEFEATS PETERSBURG G-1 Virginia Union and Hampton Will Play Two Games at Hampton on April 28. Ivy H. A. CORNISH Hampton, Va.—Hampton's baseball team won a great victory over the strong orange and blue nine of Petersburg by a six to one score on Saturday, April 21. This contest, which was the first appearance of the Hampton nine, was a brilliant pitching battle between Ruffin of Hampton and Armstead of Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute. Petersburg scored a lone run in the first frame. Moses, the first man up fawned. Epps got a triple and was caught napping. Coles singled, stole second and advanced on Braxton's single. A wild pitch by Ruffin allowed him to score. In the first inning Hampton scored three tallies. B. C. Jacobs, Jackson, and Alexander scored. In the third inning Gunn scored. Again in the fifth and sixth innings B. C. Jacobs scored. In four times up B. C. Jacobs got three hits and three runs. Several times Ruffin was in hot water but managed to pull out thru wonderful pitching and excellent fielding. Armstead was also able to pull out of several holes through his masterful pitching. J. DeWitt Jacobs, the last man up in the first inning, robbed himself of a home run by failing to touch third. Capt. George A. Alexander fielded a wonderful game. On Saturday, April 28, the strong nine from Virginia Union University of Richmond, will invade Hampton and play two games. BOX SCORE HAMPTON a.b. r 1b. p.o. c Jacobs, B.

Jackson assistant athletic director for the year 1923-24. In selecting him the students feel that they have obtained a man that is fully capable of filling the position in grand style. He has had a wide knowledge of all branches of athletics, having studied under the following coaching staff: J. Bacon), Michigan Aggies (Gideon E. Smith), Dennison University (T. L. Hickman) and Norwich University (H. D. Martin). In Scott and Chiles official organ he was selected as All American Quarterback, 1921-22, and wag adept at passing, kicking and running besides easily being the best punter in the Colored Inter-Collegiate Athletic Association. He is at present Union's mainstay behind the bat-and is already being annoyed by professional scouts, but he refuses to consider any offer until he has completed his college career. Before coming to Union this athlete was a student at V. N. I.

SEMINARY 9-1 Union Has Not Lost An Association Game This Season and is Contender for Championship. BY CHESTER L. WASHINGTON Richmond, Va.—Concluding their Southern jaunt with a grand finale, the Virginia Union University baseball team defeated the Virginia Seminary and College team by the score of 9 to 1 last Saturday. Union has not lost an association game this season, and prospects point to a repetition of last year's championship performance, considering the fact that several of the most formidable contenders have been conquered. St. Paul and Seminary fell before the onslaught of the Panthers from Richmond; the Lawrenceville School could not score against the visitors, and the Lynchburg institution was on the short end of the 1-6 score. Outside the Association, however, Union must defeat the hands of the National Training School at Durham, 7-1, and lost a hard fought game to Riddle, 7-6. Merritt's masterful twirling featured Saturday's contest at Lynchburg. The big moundsmans allowing only four hits. Gregory, smacked the pill for three safeties and Wilson, Edgar and Jackson each had two. Abbott pitched for the Lynchburg team, but was not given the best support and was hit freely.

The theatre-goers of her and Portsmouth will be told to see gloria in the Colonial in one of her later plays. In "Gilded Cage" she has a chance to display her varied wardrobe of beautiful gowns. This play was shown for one solid月月 on Broadway and was said to have broken all records for attendance. On Wednesday J. B. Warner presents the "Sheik of Araby." This is the play that the popular song "The Sheik" was written from those who have heard it. The phonograph records and played by orchestras will provide an opportunity to see the "Sheik of Araby" on the screen. This is for one day only, with an added attraction in Hoot Gipson in the "Gentleman from America." Thursday and Friday Mae Murray, Portsmouth's own girl, will be seen in "Peacock Alley" 'at: this popular playhouse. "Nothing is censorproof," says this star, Mae Murray, but she thinks "Peacock Alley" is near it despite the scenes of Paris night life in the play. This is a, Tiffany-style dress, and will be shown for two days, only at the Colonial. Mae Murray says the picture would be absolutely censorproof if there were any absolute in censorship. It is not milk and water-proof, however, but a photoplay that sparkles with the champagne of Paris restaurants and grows riddly with the night life of pocket flasks of New York. Miss Murray needs no introduction here as she was reared in Portsmouth and whenever she is presented to local movie fans crowds tax the seating capacity of the playhouses at each performance. Don't fail to see her in "Peacock Alley," a glamorous drama of passion and night life.

Hampton Students To Present Play May 5th Hampton, Va.—Breaking from one of the long established traditions in giving as its annual play one from the dramatist whose name it bears, the Shakespeare Dramatic Club is to present on May 5, "Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme" (The Merchant Gentleman) by Molliere. "The Merchant Gentleman," for the English title will be used from now on, is a comedy portraying the life of France in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. In this play the dramatist shows the desire of the merchant to better its condition, for Monsieur Jourdain, a wealthy merchant, will sacrifice anything, will give up his all ( his wife included) in order to be associated with the nobility. He admires this class towards which he is aspiring for entrance, and he considers all people in this distinguished aristocracy as "people of quality." The desire of the merchant becomes "people of quality" and in order to qualify he hires a Master of Music, a Master of Dancing, a Master of Fencing, and a Master of Philosophy, for he hears that "people of quality" study these arts. But in addition, to all this he lends enormous sums of money to a Count, who in return for the loans mentions him in the "King's presence." While Monsieur Jourdain, in his old age, begins to study these arts and is made to appear ridiculous (as he undoubtedly is) by Madame Jourdain, his wife, a very same women, he is informed that a suitor of his class, wishes to ask his daughter's hand in marriage. Monsieur Jourdain readily and forcibly declines the offer, for he says his daughter must be the wife of a noble. Here the real plot begins by which the pompous, ostentatious, all-important merchant is deceived into giving his daughter to the real suitor. The real suitor, by disguising himself as a Turkish prince, (his valet also being disguised and acting as the interpreter) is able to make the too-compending merchant aspirant agree to give The Shu Shu Shu Company, appearing here for the fodgouts at, the Palace, this week is a lively aggregation of entertainment. Their witty comedy, good singing and dancing keep the house in an uproar from the risu until the fall of the curtain. Especially good was the music furnished by their own select orchestra. The feature pictures were even a better attraction than the comedy bill, siding the size of the program. The Palace is giving the patrons more for their money than any other theatre in the country. Next Week's Attractions Gains and Kenneth with their Imp of Satan Company will be the leading attraction for next week. It is the first color picture show ever staged, and its mystery feature, there is beautiful scenery, pretty feature picture for the first half of the week is the Crusader, starring Wm. Russell—one of the screen's best artists. This will be accompanied by "Species Charles Hutchinson's latest and most remarkable serial." EXPOSURE IN Lon Chaney plays two distinct roles in "A Blind...Bargain," a vigorous drama from the Goldwyn Studios which will come to the Palace theatre for three days, begin- ning the Thursday of the week. Mr. Chaney imperializes a distinguished, physician, and a hunchback, certainly the most unfusional screen, shown on the screen. This latter character is a man in whom the maniacal physician has transferred the islands of a monkey, ensiling him to become a hunch-back hybrid. Precisely enough, the deformity is a sympathetic feature while the doctor is the placer. Because of this dual characterization complicated double exposure photography, was invented. Both characters 'appear' in many of the scenes. Tuamach as it took Chaney three hours to change his makeup from that of the physician to that of hunchback, there was always a wait, of the length of time between the beginning and the end of each of the characters, it is necessary to have everything in its rightful position. No object can be moved. Chalk marks were made on the floor to indicate the exact positions of the actor. to him his daughter's hand in marriage, in recompense for which Monieur Jourdain is to be very ceremoniously made a Turkish nobleman. Monieur Jourdain willingly consents, for upon becoming a member of the nobility, his most distant hope and his most desired goal have been realized; although he never realizes that the whole thing is a frame-up. Moliere was one of the worlds dramatic artists and many regard "The Merchant Gentleman," as one of Moliere's best plays. The Shakespeare Dramatic Club feels that by presenting one of Moliere's works, it will not only be intimately with Moliere but also more fully appreciate and help others to appreciate more fully the work of another great artist.
