LOVE QUADRANGLE ENDS IN WIFE MURDER Local Preacher Convicted of Running House of Ill Fame PREACHED, AND RENTED ROOMS AS A SIDE LINE PREACHED, AND RENTED ROOMS AS A SIDE LINE Rev. C. B. Creecy Informed the Police of Vice Conditions at Lincoln Hotel When He Was Former Manager. AND GETS HIMSELF INTO A FINE LOT OF TROUBLE Rev. C. B. Creecy is not a member of the Tidewater Baptist Ministers' Conference, according to information given out by officials of that body, neither does he hold any pastorate in this city. When the Lincoln Hotel, an apartment house located between Chapel and Pulaski streets, was raided some time last week, and numerous couples faced the police court charged with lewd and lascivious living together, evidence was produced to show that Norfolk had a colored "House of David" in its midst. "Vav" (?) C. B. Creecy, who has figured in the police court before and who had lost his position as manager of the house, informed the police, after losing his job, of conditions existing there. Upon his information Sergeant Hatton and several officers raided the place finding men and en together in rooms at the trial Spindle was convinced that the informer knew then was good for himself, and while testifying as an informer was himself placed on the court by the judge who issued a bench warrant, charging the informer with maintaining a place resorted to for the purpose of prostitution. VICTIMS FINES SUSPENDED The fines against several of the victims of Crecy's duplicity were suspended, and the worm turned. Crecy's name was placed on the dock, and after two continuances, was heard Tuesday. Men of native and foreign birth testified that the "Reverend" had rented rooms to couples, taking the door and turning them out later. Mr. Anderson, of the Anderson Auction Company, owner of the house, said that he had heard of many complaints against the alleged preacher before discharging him. There were about 15 witnesses excluding one, lice, who testified in an informer had carried on lively business of the Creecy, on the other hand, spoke of his Christian character and lainted at a "frame-up." PLACE HAD BAD REPUTATION While it is said the place in question has been notorious for many years, under the alleged preacher's administration things became worse. After hearing the evidence in the case Spindle was convinced that the alleged "Man of God" was engaged in prescribing, and as a side line running in full blast a house of prostitution. A sentence of 30 days and a $50 fine was the verdict, from which Creecy, through his attorney, J. S. Hall, appealed. Detective Dickens, who claims he gave Crecy S2 some time ago to purchase whiskey for use as evidence said that from that day to the present, the "Reverend" has been as elusive as the proverbial Irish flea. 2ND ANNUAL COLORED FAIR SEPTEMBER 12-15 Promises To Be Bigger And Better in Every Way This Year; Big Amusements Booked. It has been officially announced that the second annual Colored Agricultural and Industrial Fair will be held at the Greater Norfolk Fair Grounds September 12 to 15. This news will be hailed with delight by the thousands of patrons who attended the fair last year, as well as by those who failed to attend, because they did not realize the vast and interesting features comprising this new enterprise for our people. The Fair this year will be bigger and better in every way and the management plans to put on some very large and interesting exhibits in all departments and took some of the biggest outdoor amusement attractions that will be obtained among the colored professional performers. The speed contests, enjoyed so much by all who attended last year, will be maintained on the program arranged for this year with an additional string of fast horses from Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Kentucky. The officers of Norfolk's Colored Fair Association are as follows: Dr. A. L. Paay, president; W. J. Kemp, vice-president; Dr. J. Q. A. Webb, vice-president and C. A. Palmer, secretary-treasurer; R. H. Cross, man- Hospital Will Have A Colored Personnel Strenuous objections raised by white Alabamians, especially Governor Brandon, and white Southerners in general, to the manning of the new Negro World War veterans hospital at Tuskegee Institute with a colored medical and executive staff, were of no avail. The hospital will have a colored personnel. Writing to Berlert Seligman of York, Secretary Christian says: "Your communication . . . has been submitted to the President and he directs me to make reply and say that the task of selecting and completing the colored staff for the management and administration of the Tuskegee Hospital is well under way. It is the plan of the director of the Veterans' Bureau, with the approval of the President, to man this institution completely with a colored personnel. It is not an easy task to perfect such organization under the limitations of the civil service, but the program is being worked out in a most gratifying and encouraging way. The Tuskegee experiment is going to afford the trained representatives of the colored race to give proof of their capacity and efficiency in a highly important public service." "GO TO HIGH SCHOOL, GO TO COLLEGE" CALL Drive On To Persuade Parents To Keep Their Boy and Girl Graduates In School. Washington, D. C.—"Go to High School—Go to College," is the message being delivered this week to the colored students of America by the members and friends of the Alpha Phi Fraternity. Starting with the observance of Educational Sunday, April 29th, and continuing through the week with conferences with parents, teachers and students, and with visits to homes and special communications to leaders asking co-operation, this educational campaign will end in a great mass meeting in the various large cities of the country on Sunday, May 6th, at which addresses will be made by outstanding educational leaders. This year marks the fourth annual campaign to spread the gospel of "Go to High School—Go to College" among the youth of our race. From all indications, this important message will be carried to every State in the Union as there are now some 45 chapters of the Alpha Phi Alpha with members in practically every city of importance in the United States. The goal of the Fraternity is to reach over three million parents and students with fundamental message regarding the need of education. The Zeta Lambda chapter of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, which has a large membership through the Tidewater cities is making an intensive personal appeal to parents of graduates this year of the school of Norfolk, Portsmouth, Newport News, Suffolk, and vicinity to make herculean sacrifices, if need to be to continue the education of their children. A personal letter will be put in the hands of every parent of graduates from grammar and high schools directing their attention to the paramount necessity of keeping the child in school. A request was made of both Baptist Memorial Associations of this city at their last meeting that the ministers promote interest in the cause of education at this particular time by preaching special sermons the subject in their churches. The same request was made on the Methodist minister. All have promised their support of the "Go to high school, go to college movement" either through special sermons Sunday or addresses. This method will be pursued only in this city but through Tidewater. out Tidewater. Public mass meetings will be dispensed with this year and the appeal carried direct to the parent. Educational talks will be given to the eighth grades of all grammar schools and to the seniors in the high schools.

MOORE AT HIS DURHAM HOME DEATH CLAIMS DR. A. M. MOORE AT HIS DURHAM HOME President of And One of The Pioneers in Organizing North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company Ends Career. RACE LOSES ONE OF ITS MOST VALUED CITIZENS Durham, N. C.—Dr. Aaron MeDuffie Moore, president of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, Durham, N. C., the largest Negro business company in the world, and incidentally the strongest Negro business enterprise in America, died at his home in this city, Sunday, April 29, at 12:30 p.m. Dr. Moore had been ailing for more than a year but only recently did it appear to his family and friends that he had suffered a breakdown from which he probably would never recover. With the passing of Dr. Aaron McDuffie Moore the race has lost one of its saintest, strongest and ablest men. There has not been a movement in North Carolina for the betterment of the race within the last thirty years with which Dr. Moore has not been directly or indirectly connected. His contact, in this state, with the large economic enterprises of the race has always been helpful and fruitful. Dr. Moore's activities are all the more remarkable when his life's history is recalled. A NATIVE OF NORTH CAROLINA He was born on September 6th, 1863, in Columbus County, North Carolina at a place then called Rosindale. He was one of ten children, all of whom worked on the farm and went to the country school between the harvesting and planting seasons. For three years after completing the course of study provided by the country school Aaron Moore taught in a country school himself. He realized, however, his limited education and returned to school as a student entering the Whiting Normal School at Lumberton and the next venue, Normal School at Fayetteville, N.C. After completing his term at the last named school he was called home by his father, who needed his help on the farm. But Aaron Moore was not satisfied to stay home and farm. The next year, 1885, he made another effort to secure a higher education. He went to Shaw University with the determination to enter the college department and become a professor. The medical school was at this time in great need of students. The heads of this department of the University talked with every bright student who appeared at the University, in an effort to secure his enrollment in the medical school. They won Moore over to their side. Matriculated in Leonard Medical College and completed within three years the course of study described for four years. In the end he was a Doctor of Medicine. This same year he came up, along with forty other medical students, thirty of whom were white, the Medical Examiners of the North Carolina. He passed their rigid examination second in rank. Now he was ready to practice medicine and Dr. Moore selected Durham as the seat of his activity. BEGAN HIS PRACTICE For the first ten years he was out in the world Dr. Moore found every minute used with urgent calls to administer to the sick and the afflicted. Along about 1895 he began, however, to find sufficient leisure to think about the development of social and business institutions among the colored people of Durham. From this date on his life was filled with charitable endeavors to promote the welfare of his people. A chronological statement of a few of his major activities will be efficient to prove this statement. sure that Dr. Moore was the leading spirit and the originator of the idea to organize a colored drug store in Durham for the benefit of the citizens and to help colored druggists gain experiences and obtain a place. If never made the choice for the members of the group but did give the colored store of Durham a first class drug store and a young pharmacist an opportunity to use his profession. FORMED INSURANCE CO. In 1896 Dr. Moore and seven other men, notably, John Merrick, came together and formed a Negro Life Insurance Company. This first attempt was unsuccessful and five of the charmers withdrew. 1899—Dr. Moore and Mr. Merrick, believing that a Negro Life Insurance Company could be run started over an and sent for C. C. Spaulding to push the company formed the previous year, which had been the North Carolina Hospital and Provident Association. Dr. Moore turned over one hive to his office space to the Association and served it as Medical Director without any compensation until the Association was well established. FOUNDED LINCOLN HOSPITAL 1901—Lincoln Hospital was found Poor Sunday School Enrollment Alarms Leaders LATE DR. A. M. MOORE ed by Dr. Moore, brought the generosity of the Duke family. It had at first been proposed to put a separate wing on the city hospital for colored patients. Dr. Moore convinced the management that this would not provide facilities for Negro doctors or for the training of colored nurses. John Merrick who was on particularly friendly terms with the Dukes, secured their support and Dr. Moore directed the erection of the Lincoln Hospital, of which he was the Superintendent from the time of its foundation until his death. One of his fondest dreams' was to see the new $150,000.00 hospital building completed. The subscriptions secured for its erection were large, a result of his personal effort and determination to see the citizens of Durham possess every medical attention obtainable in a modern hospital. BECAME A BANKER 1007—The Mechanics and Farmers Bank of Durham was charted. One of its staunch supporters was Dr. Moore. In recognition of his services he was elected to the Board of Directors and to the position of vice-president. 1913—The colored people of Durham had no library. This worried Dr. Moore and caused him great concern. Finally he decided to organize a library in the basement of his church, White Rock Baptist. His personal funds were used to a great extent for the realization of this purpose. But after having secured a fair number of volumes Dr. Moore discovered that due to strong denominational lines the mass of the people would not reach the library. So he moved the library, securing by popular subscription a building devoted to this process, and support for the library from the city and county. Dr. Moore was elected president of the Continued on Page Six.

(The Associated Negro Press) Atlanta, Ga.—Something akin to alarming figures concerning the Negro Church was given out by Dr. I. Garland Penn, of Cincinnati, Ohio, corresponding secretary of the Board of Education for Negroes, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, at the commencement exercises of Gammon Theological Seminary held here last week. A party of bishops and education of the Methodist Episcopal Church were here, consisting of Bishops E. G. Richardson, Atlanta Ga.; Wilbur P. Thirkind, Mexico City, Mexico; Dr. William H. Crawford, New York City, president emeritus of Allegheny College; Dean T. F. Holgate, Evanston, Ill., Northwestern University; Dean H. C. Minnich, Oxford, Ohio, Miami University; Dr. John L. Seaton, New York, N. Y., assistant secretary of Board of Education, and Drs. I. Garland Penn and P. J. Mavey, Cincinnati, Ohio, corresponding secretaries of Board of Education for Negroes. The special occasion was the laying of the corner stone of the new administration building and chapel for Gammon. It will be 3 YEAR SENTENCE, VERDICT IN JOHN MITCHELL'S CASE 3 YEAR SENTENCE, VERDICT IN JOHN MITCHELL'S CASE Jury Decides Adversely in Case of President of Mechanics Savings Bank of Richmond After a Three Day Hearing. CHARGES AGAINST OTHER DEFENDANTS TO BE TRIED (By wire to Journal and Guide) Richmond, Va., May 3—John Mitchell, Jr., who on Monday April 30th was remanded to jail to await outcome of motion of his counsel for new trial which will be argued May 15th had not up to today been granted bail. (Special To Journal and Guide) Richmond, Va.—After a trial that lasted three days, a jury in Hustings court, Judge D. C. Richardson presiding, Monday, returned a verdict of guilty in the case of John Mitchell, Jr., president of the Mechanics Savings Bank, now in the hands of receivers, and fixed his punishment at three years in the penitentiary. His lawyers immediately moved to set aside the verdict on several grounds, argument upon which will be heard by the court on May 15th. Mr. Mitchell was tried on the charge of making a false entry upon the books of the bank, envolving the amount of $19,000. On account of the prominence of John Mitchell, Jr. and his connection with varied interests his case has attracted wide attention throughout the country. As well as being president of the bank he is grand chancellor of the Virginia Knights of Pythias. He has maintained since the closing of the bank by the bank banking department that all the alleged irregularities with which he was charged both in the management of the bank and the Pythian order were legi-gerals, and to indemnify depositors of the bank against any loss he has given a deed of trust secured by real estate valued at $150,000. Charges pending against Albert V. Norrell, cashier of the bank, and other employees, are yet to be tried.

A nomination here is equivalent to an election. * * * (By The Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C—Judge Robert H. Terrell, of the Municipal Court, who was stricken recently, and whose wife was in despair for several days, is some what improved at the time Judge Terrell, a judge of the Municipal Court, ordered four Presidents, has enjoyed the best of health until the last year. Early in the fall Judge Terrell suffered for nearly three weeks with an attack of hiecrows: remembered that the Board of Education for Negroes has been making large gifts to Meharry Medical College at Nashville, Tenn., in connection with the General Education Board, the Carnegie Corporation and the Meharry Alumni, until Meharry is having a new day in the medical work for the medical education of the Negro race. Now the Board of Education for Negroes and the Nesters of Gammon ecological Seminary are turning their attention to the urgent necessity for trained ministers, and are enlarging the capacity of Gammon Theological Seminary for student attendance. In collecting information on the church situation among the colored people, secretary Penn gives out the figures that while there are 4,800,000 Negro communicants in Negro churches of all denominations, there are 2,250,000 Negro Sunday school pupils. In other words there are not half as many Negro Sunday school pupils as there are Negro members of churches. Dr. Penn stated, "This is alarming and shows that while the race is making headway in education, business and home life, as a traveler can SUBSCRIPTION PRICE $2.00 PER YEAR 1,000,000 Africans Have Gospel for First Time London, England. — T he English Bible Society of London has just completed publication of the Scriptures in six new African languages making a total of 164 languages of Africa in which the Bible has been printed and distributed to over one million native Africans.

EXODUS ALARMING TO COTTON GROWERS Head of Cotton Growers Association Admits Ku Klux and Lynching Partly Responsible. (Special To Journal and Guide) Washington, D. C. - Southern cotton growers and industries are waking up to the seriousness of the exodus of Negro labor, according to a statement made today by J. S. Wannamaker, president of the American Cotton Growers Association. Mr. Wannamaker said: "We have personal representatives canvassing every section of the cotton belt and they confirm the statement of an accurate report on acreage. We also have representatives in the north to ascertain the truth concerning the migration of labor. As a result of this investigation we find that labor is being drawn from the agricultural centers of America to the industrial centers; however, from no section to a greater extent than from the rural sections of the south. We found in many of these plants they have already employed thousands of Negro laborers and state it as the purpose to employ them in largely increasing numbers. We found that the wages paid these laborers is due twenty times the amount it was possible for them to earn in the cotton fields of the south and their working hours are far shorter and their living conditions far better. "That is the sort of talk that takes the Negro north. He is hunting more money, and he is being employed in capacities never dreamed of ten years ago. The 'bohunk'—the general term for a low type foreigner who used to pour into this country for the pick and shovel job—has been blocked. Somebody must do his work. Negro field hands of the south are going to it." 10 Commandments Bill Defeated (The Associated Negro Press) Jefferson, Missouri—A bill to repeal the State constitution and substitute the Ten commandments in its place has been defeated in the legislature. The Bill's opponents were afraid that the Negro vote could not be handled to advantage by the proposed change. easily see, yet the same progress is not being registered in the church through its principal training agency, the Sunday school. Churches of all denominations with large memberships and youthful constituency have but meager Sunday school enrollment and still meager attendance." There are 37,000 Negro ministers of all kinds in the United States, and it is charged that too many of them take but little interest in seeking out the youth and prevailing upon them and their parents to have them attend Sunday schools. Dr. Penn says that there are but 60,000 students, in 36 theological institutions and departments in the entire country, and that there is not the same effort being put forth to direct the Negro young man to the ministry, that is put forth in the home and public for other professions and vocations. If the Negro youth is seeking everything else and forsakes the fundamentals of progress, which are religion and morality, leadership needs to wake up and change the trend.

Wood said he knew Brown's handwriting and one letter supposed to have been sent him in Norfolk was written by Brown. He said he knew his wife had been intimate with the man for over a year. HURRIED TO -NEW YORK Convinced of his wife's unfaithfulness, Wood said he came home from Virginia and arrived at his home at 9:15 and was let in by a Mr. Henry Potter, who is alleged to be the owner of the apartment. Wood and his wife were lodgers. He went directly to his wife's room and found her in bed. A discussion took place concerning her relationship with Brown.

Lee Tidewater Hospital Begins Ninth Year in Good Financial Condition SATURDAY, MAY 5, 1923 Dr. Wilbur A. Drake, surgeon-in-chief of Tidewater Hospital has submitted to the Board of Trustees his eighth annual report which shows that the institution is in better condition financially and otherwise than ever before. This report discloses a year's work done of which the hospital may be justly proud. During the year it cared for 148 cases and, major operations were performed, and it begins its ninth year with greater hopes and determination for wider accomplishments. The report follows: In presenting to you the 8th Annual Report of the hospital it gives me much pleasure to state that during the eight years of the work of the hospital we have made slow, but continuous progress. Each year finds us a step farther up the road in our plans to build up here in Norfolk a real first class hospital operated by our people for our people. "The hospital makes no claims to originality or anything out of the usual service which should be expected of an institution of its kind, but the management has aimed at all times to render a service to humanity both intelligent and efficient. By doing so it has won the confidence of a large number of our own people and a number of the best white people of the community. "During the past year we have had added to our board of trustees two very influential white friends and have the promise of a new building which will add greatly to our work." "It has been very regrettable that we have not as yet been able to secure funds with which to accommodate a few, at least, of the large number of persons who are constantly applying for free care. Many of these cases are worthy of care, and while we are amply prepared to give them proper medical and surgeal services, we are without funds to take care of their hospital expenses. We have from time to time appealed to our people for funds for this purpose, but as yet there has been no response. We hope the board of trustees may find some means by which this condition may be brought before our churches, lodges and other organizations and the people in general with a view of having us to care for these members of our own race, who are ever and on calling us on us for aid. It is our Christian duty to help those who are sick and are unable to care for themselves. 119 Operations Last Year During the past year we have cared for 148 patients and performed 119 major operations. Our work in every way has been most successful and we feel proud of the good results obtained. "It is gratifying that during all these eight years the work has been accomplished with the most satisfactory co-operation from a professional point of view. THANKS FOR SUPPORT GIVEN V.N. & I.I. SINGERS Dr. Gandy Expresses Gratitude of Faculty For Public Co-operation in Cities Visited. Petersburg, Va.—The V. N. & I. I. Singers on their recent tour of Virginia cities were received with such enthusiasm and hospitality that the heads of the institute are expressing their deep gratitude to the public for the co-operation and encouragement given. The following letter signed by Dr. John M. Gandy, president of the institute expresses concretely the feelings of the officers and faculty on this matter: "The Officers and members of the Faculty of the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute desires to express their earnest gratitude and very great appreciation to the people of Suffolk, Portsmouth, Newport News and Norfolk for their many courtesies and for the hospitality extended to the members of the Choral Society on its recent concert tour in the Tidewater on. The patrons of these courtesies and of the hospitality are so numerous that it is impossible to get personal letters to them. At each of the places visited an enthusiastic and appreciative audience heard the young singers. Many the best homes were opened for their entertainment, automobiles were put at their service, societies were arranged after concerts, and every attention given to the comfort and ent joyfulness. Aside from the attention given by the general public, the graduates of the Institute, living in the section visited, received the singers with open hearts and a sense of pride that was most pleasing and gratifying. At Suffolk and Newport News many of them drove twenty-five and thirty miles across the country to be present. at the bone. We have returned to our work with a deep sense of the place the Institute holds in the affections of the public and of the responsibility resting upon its laborers to so direct its growth that it will in an increasing way continue the merit the esteem and love of the Virginia people. CAPE CHARLES Cape Charles, Va. — The Missionary Circle of the First Baptist Church held an all day services Sunday. Sermon at 11:15 A.M. by Rev. Bollomd, at 3:00 another time by the pastor, Rev. P.

Banks, of Sokols, wife of Mr. Arthur Banks, departed this life April 28, friends to mourn their lost. The funeral services were held at the Capeville Baptist Church of which she was a member Monday. "The most pleasant relations have always existed among the managers of the hospital and team work has characterized all of our efforts. I believe if the work of the hospital, its needs and prospects were brought more forcefully to the attention of the public it would be far easier for us to obtain support for the institution. The year ending February 1, 1923, shows the hospital to be in fine shape financially, when we consider the hard times, enough which we have been passing for the past two years. While the hospital is amply supplied with the things necessary to carry on the work, our outstanding obligations which consists of open accounts with different firms amends only $84.25. To Train Practical Nurses **Tactual Nurses** "Our hospital has been selected by the Bureau of Rehabilitation of the state to train a number of young women as practical nurses and by the State Board of Health for training practical nurses and midwives for the rural districts, already we have entered students nurses for this work. We are practically assured of three free beds for lying-in cases in the next year so as to provide teaching material for these students. We hope to have the co-operation of our local people in putting this program into effect. Our delay in accepting students in larger numbers then, are taking them is due to the lack of room which we hope will be provided in our new building very soon. "These endorsements have come to us wholly unsolicited and is a practical testimony of the splendid work that is being done by our hospital. "During the past year I have had the hospital painted and some repair work done in various parts of the building. All of which I have personally paid for. "Our greatest need now is a new building and some adequate method of publicity. I do not mean advertising, but a method of keeping the general public informed of their relationship to the hospital and what the hospital means to the community. Were such institutions capable of making money it would not be hard to get sufficient co-operation to run the hospital without appealing to the public at all for aid. Our people need to be educated along the line of supporting their charitable institutions, and once they are shown the benefits to be derived from these institutions I have no doubts that they will give them the needed support. "When everything is considered, the patronage of the hospital has been really remarkable. And our thanks goes out to those who have shown their faith in their own people and who have and are still giving the hospital encouragement and support. Your loyalty to the hospital as a board of trustees is greatly appreciated and I would like to emphasize EMPORIA Emporial Va.—The Fund sufficient to bring a Dentist to this county has been raised, and Dr. Fowlkes is here and busily at work.

DANVILLE Danville, Va.—Sunday, April 22 was a joyous day for every true Philanthropy, for on that day from the standpoint of organization, the young ladies' Bible class of Calvary Baptist Sunday school was celebrating its first annual event. Never was a day more balmy than these more propitious, and never were Philanthropy more happy and Barracas more anxious. A very splendid program was indeed and same was really rendered. Every number was outstanding one and every participant was at her best. The Philanthropies selected their pastor, Dr. G. W] Goode, to address them on this occasion and he chose as his subject. Dr. Goode addressed this address. Dr. Goode stressed the importance of every Sunday school worker being well acquainted with the work to be done before attempting to do it. He complimented the young ladies on their spirit and urged them to work more thoroughly versed in the Bible and the Bible School, where there was Power his keynote. Knowing the audience was surprisingly pleased at the wealth of talent in the class, especially the musical talent, turned out in large numbers and through their representatives, Messrs. C. H.

Healing the sick was one of the most important things He did while on earth, one true physician, who applies his talents in healing the sick performs important service in Christianity is the one who preaches the gospel. Next to the church should come the hospital and should be there to help the sick with their Christian service. All enlightened people of this day have awakened to this important fact except the Negro. And as he has awakened to nearly all the important enterprises for the uplift of his race we are sure it is only a matter of time before he awakens to this one. "Personal consideration should be ruled out when giving thought to such an important matter as an hospital. I would support a movement for a large, well equipped colored hospital for Norfolk it mattered not who fathered the movements if it gave promise of accomplishing the purpose. Tidewater Hospital has stood the test. In spite of the lack of public co-operation and support, except in a very small degree, the hospital has continued to forge ahead and to-day is an officially recognized hospital and is doing a very acceptable service in this community. "I believe that when the facts are brought clearly and forcefully to the attention of our people there will not be any need to doubt the loyal support the hospital will receive. Our people are generous and will help any good movement once they are correctly informed as to its merits. It is my earnest hope that the board of trustees will take the necessary steps to get our work before the public in such way as to prove the public that the primary purpose of the hospital is to serve the community. Better Shape Financially "In spite of a lack of proper support from our people in the way of co-operation and financial aid, the hospital begins its nineth year of service in better shape financially and otherwise than ever before. The future of the institution is very bright and we are going to do more work and give the public better service than ever before. A faithful few are giving the best there is in them to this noble work for the sick and wounded and feel a keen pleasure in the sacrifices they are making, believing that generations yet unborn may be benefited thereby. "With thanks to you, gentlemen, for your very great help to the hospital and your kind considerations of me personally. I humbly submit to you for your consideration this my eighth annual report. Sincerely yours, Wilbur A. Drake, M. D. Surgeon-in-charge. DANVILLE BANK HAS SUBSTANTIAL GROWTH Directors' Report Shows a Gain of 10 Per Cent in Undivided Profits for Past Year.

HONOR FRISSELL AT COLLEGE STUDENTS HAMPTON EXERCISES DRIVE ON PROFANITY George Foster Peabody Presents "Frissell Memorial Organ" From the Palmer Fund. (BY WILLIAM ANTHONY AERY) Hampton, Va.—The statesman-like service of Dr. Hollis B. Frissell, principal of Hampton Institute from 1893 to 1917, to education and social progress throughout the South, the Nation, and the world was graphically described during the fifty-fifth anniversary celebration, just brought to a close, of the Tuskegee Institute, and Andrew Jackson Montague, former governor of Virginia, and George Foster Peabody, of New York, senior member of the Hampton board of trustees. Mr. Peabody declared that it had been his high privilege to have the "Frisell Memorial Organ" in Ogden Hall built from a fund which had been entrusted to him many years ago by "William J. Palmer, a brilliant, farseeing, trustful Quaker gentleman, who became a general." Mr. Peabody referred to Doctor Frissell as a man who became in his lifetime a far-seeing statesman and a great educator who was known throughout the world for his understanding of what was needed to make human nature come into its own. This memorial gift was accepted by Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, who said that organ music expressed uniquely the reverence and beauty which characterized the mind, heart, and spirit of Doctor Frissell. Governor Montague referred to Dr. Frissell's relation to the renaissance of education in Virginia and to the building of a new civilization. Dr. Moton declared that at Hampton Institute Dr. Frissell rounded out a system of education that took account of the whole man and provided of his life.

Seminary Seniors Produce Drama Farmville, Va.—The Senior Class of Virginia Seminary and College produced "A Doll's House" last night at the old opera house, before a crowd that packed the lower floor. The performance was for the benefit of the First Baptist Church. The drama is an exceedingly strong one, by the Norwegian dramatist, Henrik Ibsen. It treats in Ibsen's characteristic way of some of the evils of modern day society. The leading role was played by Miss Loretta Henderson, who, as Nora Helmer, the typical "doll" wife, captivated the entire audience. She performed the difficult feat of remaining on the stage during practically the entire two and one half hours of the play, and playing the entire time with a force and an emotion far beyond wonderful. D. A. Jackson and Torsvald Helmer, her forceful, domineering husband; Sadie Jackson as Christina Linder, a scheming widow; William Duncan as Nils Krogstad, the money lender; Ernest Boardley as Dr. Rank, a prosperous physican, and Ethel Boyd and Lottie Bailey as nurse and maid, respectively, were also far above the average amateurs in their portraits of their parts. The serious tone of their roles was lightened and lendid setting of two children Roslyn Woods, nine years of age, and Bessie B. Drewry, four years old, who won much favorable comment. This was the third performance of this drama, the first two performances of the play. The drama will be produced in Ronnoke Va., Saturday, May 12.

He felt that some of these had features might be overcome by having inspectors visit all the country schools, offer suggestions and see that they were followed out. So in 1914 he paid the salary of an inspector for the state of North Carolina and started him out. So successful was this work in improving the conditions of the rural schools that the following year the work was taken over by the state and Dr. Moore was made secretary-treasurer of the Rural School Extension Department of North Carolina Teacher's Association. This position he held until 1922, when on account of his physical infirmities he was forced to resign. SUCCEEDS JOHN MERRICK 1918—With the death of John Merrick in 1918 Dr. Moore found the presidency of the North Carolina Mutual falling upon his shoulders. He had always been of invaluable assistance in directing the general affairs of the company. Now, however, he assumed the entire responsibility. He did not sit in his office and send out bulletins. He went to the field himself and was the bulletin. In fact, the long trip which he took in 1921 to the agencies in Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Oklahoma and Arkansas had much to do with breaking his health and starting him on the downward path. BECAME STATE AGENT 1919—In addition to the numerous duties incumbent upon Dr. Moore, as president of the North Carolina Mutual he very willingly accepted to help in the war emergency and accepted an appointment as Special Agent and Supervisor of Negro Economics in the state of North Carolina. In this capacity he was most influential in securing openings for Negro labor during the war and help for colored farmers. GREAT CHURCH WORKER All of these activities were entirely separate from the part Dr. Moore took in his church; which would be considered by some men a life's work, in itself. He was one of the pillows in the White Rock Baptist Church. For more than twenty-five years he served as superintendent of the Sunday school in White Rock. In recognition of his devoted services he was made superintendent for life. His keen interest in Sunday school work resulted in his being elected president of the Baptist Sunday School Convention. In addition he was secretary of the Haitian work for the Lott Carey Foreign Missionary Convention. In order to secure first hand knowledge of his duties he took a trip to Haiti at his own expense. He was also chairman of the Deacon Board of White Rock Baptist Church. This interest in his church did not keep him from seeing the needs of young men of Durham. It was a successful undertaking as were all of Dr. Moore's activities. When, however, the building in which the Association was located burned, Dr. Moore did not have the physical strength to raise money for the erection of another place and no one else understood this work. TRUSTEE OF SHAW Shaw University was another of Dr. Moore's interests. For ten years he has been president of the Board of Trustees and for a greater number of years he was one of the largest individual donors to that institution. This brings to mind the great philanthropic work carried on by Dr. Moore. It was a part of his religion ORENCE K STOVE Now on demonstration in our store.

Arriving at the university, he suddenly comes face to face with an old friend, receives him in a most unexpected manner.

THE elegantly dressed white youth that confronted John when the latter emerged from the inner office was no other than Philip Breckenridge, Jr., youngest son of Philip Breckenridge, Sr., the wealthy banker of Salem, and John's Supposed father. On seeing Philip visons of the happy boyhood hours both had together back in Salem instantly arose in John's mind. Remembrances of the watermelon raids they had made, and their hours of stolen companionship came crowding back into his mind. He remembered how he and Philip had been inseparable companions, until one never-to-be-forgotten afternoon when he was abruptly stopped by Philip's mother as he was about to pass through the door of the great house on the hill, as he had done ever so many times before, and asked where he was going in such a tone that made him instinctively feel that he would be welcome no longer in the rich home. The incident had burned itself deep into his sensitive soul. Philip had been warned to stay away from him but in spite of the warning had escaped that very afternoon to look for him, and thereafter both used to meet in the woods under a rocky ledge to play and to read detective tales. This halcyon companionship had continued, not without interruption, until Philip had been sent to a preparatory school in Atlanta. After this they had met from time to time but Philip's demeanor had changed somewhat and the bond was weakened. Now on seeing Philip again all the bitter memories had faded leaving only the sweet. Forgetting color, wealth, everything, but the joy of seeing an old chum, and a fellow townmen—the first he had seen since he elered this new exciting environment—he had sprung instinctively to greet Now at the look on the other's face the welcome faded out of his eyes, and his hand dropped slowly to his side. He became painfully conscious of his suit, shabby hat, worn shoes, and countrified appearance in contrast to the well-tailored brown suit, the fashionable collar and the tie, and the elegant appearance of Philip. He stammered: "Howdy, Phi—Mr. Breckenridge." The other bowed almost imperceptibly. "What're you doing here," he demanded brusely, "I'm studying." Muttering an oath Philip Breckenridge left him abruptly and strode toward the desk." "When did he get here?" he asked the clerk angrily, pointing at John's retreating figure. "Today. He's the winner of the Arnold scholarship." "The h—he is," he said, savagely.

Instinctively he saw that he would have a strong rival—a stiff classmate to work against. The idea of having to compete with a Negro was most repulsive to him and demanding to see the registrar he asked to be put into another class. "It's too late now," said that official. CHAPTER VII. John Walton's first task was to secure employment for his spare hours. The $300 scholarship fund, he decided, was to go to the support of his mother and her aged father. On applying to the clerk in charge of employment he was directed to the bulletin board. There he saw a good many positions listed—bus boys, clerks, handy men. Seeing one that offered two meals a day for one hour's work at noon clearing soiled dishes he applied for it, and was given a card to the manager of the restaurant. A single glance at him, however, and the flustered manager stammeringly told him that the place had already been filled. On seeing his disappointed face, she added sweetly: "I'll take your name and let you know when there's a vacancy." Back at the university John returned the card to the clerk. "The job is filled," he said. "That's strange," was the reply, "They wanted four. There must be some mistake." She called up the restaurant and after a brief conversation with the manager said to John: "I'll get you something else." Several days later John saw the same job on the board, and overheard two of his white classmates inducing a third to go to work with them at the restaurant. MODEL CITY LODGE, NO. 305 I. B. P. O.

"I can mix with white people up here, and yet I can't get me a job taking out dirty dishes. Neither of these would have happened down south." The next day, however, he was called to the office and offered a position in a private family. In exchange for tending the furnace and doing odd jobs about the house he would receive room and board. He accepted readily and with the problem of living off his mind he buckled down to his studies working at least eighteen hours a day. One evening a few weeks later he was briskly sweeping the last of the autumn leaves from the side walk when he saw Philip drive by in his new car. He had felt angry with himself for having given Philip the occasion to snub him, and now the thought returned to torment him at sight of him. Finally he shrugged his shoulders and said, "I should have known better, but after all wasn't I acting as a real human should." As he saw the shining new car of the other and thought of his own strained circumstances he said to himself: "How lucky he is. Just think if I had his leisure and could devote all my time to my studies!" He went on to reflect on the great hardships he had encountered to get his scholarship and one of my brightest stu-been all paved for him from birth. "How unequal life is," he mused. "Some have everything and others nothing. Well, there's no use crying over it. The only way I can see to change it is to work hard. Did I say I had nothing? I'm dead wrong. I have the will to win and I am going to show 'em." He continued with decision: "I'm going to beat Phil. See if I don't." And he started to conjugate a French verb in his mind for the morrow's lesson. Philip drew up his automobile at the sidewalk to speak to a couple who was approaching. As John advanced sweeping briskly he saw that the pair was Prof. Wellington Bruce and his wife. Prof. Bruce was his geology instructor. They were coming in his direction. "Hello, Mr. Walton," greeted Prof. Bruce as he came up. Then turning to his wife he said, "this is John Walton, the winner of the Arnold scholarship and one of by brightest students." "Good evening, Mr. Walton, Mr. Bruce has told me of you many times," she said as she went on to congratulate him of his success. John shook the extended hand warmly. He felt a strange, indefinable restraint in her greeting, however. She was cordial to be sure but he had detected a sad look, a tremor of alarm, as it were, suddenly sweep over her face on meeting him. John had no time to analyze the strange look in Mrs. Bruce's face for her husband continued: "I was just coming to see you. Miss Williams at the office has told me that you wanted more work. Is that so?" "Yes sir. I'm working here with Mrs. Stewart for my room and board, but I need a little spending money." "Well, Mrs. Bruce needs some one to help her as little, cleaning the porches, sweeping the sidewalk and making the fire in the morning. It won't take more than an hour or so a day. Do you think you'd like it?" "I'd be delighted." "Mrs. Bruce will give you $5 a week and pay you extra for cleaning the windows. There's our house just two doors down. No. 372," he added, pointing to a neat wooden house with a porch, on the same side of the street. "Thank you, sir." "You can start tonight. Sweep off our sidewalk when you're finished, if you've time." Again John noticed the same queer look that puzzled him. And thus he accepted a job, which could he have seen into the future, he would have avoided as the plague. CHAPTER IX. Considerably cheered with the prospect of the five dollars, and the thot of the new suit he would soon be able to buy, John buckled down to his work again sweeping off the walk with rapid strokes right and left, oblivious of everything else. Presently he started as he felt the broom strike something, and saw a lady's handbag fall to the grass. Looking quickly up he saw a colored girl. She had come noisely upon him, and had been trying to pass. John stood transfixed for a moment as he found himself looking into the eyes of the most charming girl he had ever seen. Quickly recovering, however, he picked up the bag, dusted it off and said as he returned it to her with a bow: "I apologize for having monopolized the sidewalk. I hope I didn't soil your dress." "We'll let you off this time," said the fair one, with an engaging smile, brushing off her dress. John found her voice as charming as her face and figure. Then he realized for the first time that there was another girl present. The ladies started to walk on. John felt a great impulse to detain them. He tried hard to find something that would start a conversation but for the life of him he could not. When he did they had gone too far. He continued to gaze at the retreating figures. Never before had he met a girl who appealed as strongly to him. He hoped that she would at least look back but she did not. The other one did, however. He had been so busy that he had not been able to look up the colored people in the town. Now he resolved to do so. He would find that girl again. The next day he described the ladies to two colored fellow students but received no satisfactory clue. The next Saturday evening, science book in hand, studying as he went, he walked down to the little town, a mile Standard Reference on all matters relating to the Negro most extensively used Compendium information on this subject.

Man Beaten, Robbed and Sentenced To Die, His Baby and Wife Beaten; State Supreme Court, Orders New Trial. A letter written by a well-to-do colored man describing the horrible treatment accorded him by white men of Saluda County, South Carolina, just made public furnishes further-evidence that one-half of the brutalities perpetrated against the defenseless Negro of the far South never reaches the public ear. The brutality visited upon this man and his wife and children by the barbarians of that South Carolina county is enough to drive from the state every man, woman and child of color. For wanton savagery and satanic meanness it beggars duplication. "My wife has not been back there since this trouble happened and none of the children neither. I will tell you all to boot that they even burned up my father's fine big house. Write to Epworth, S. C., to C. N. Dane, he will tell you all about it. Mr. E. is my lawyer, but he don't seem to do anything for me. Dear sir if you can please help for I have not had a fair trial and they will not give me a fair trial in South Carolina. JUDGE REFUSES VERDICT "Whenthey tried me the last time the jury brought out a verdict of guilty and the judge made them go If you want something disgusting here it is, read it: "My trouble arrived on the 4th Saturday night in November, 1920. I was in my bed asleep and a mob of white men came to my-house and started shooting and why they did that I don't know. They never said hello or anything and they broke the back door open. My wife and children were taken, both—and my wife and children began screaming and yelling and my wife was holding the front door and one of the children. One woke me up. They were shooting in the house and I asked them, what the matter was and they said to me, there is a crowd out there after you. I ran to the back door and they shot at me and I ran behind the bed and got my pistol and I shot 2 (shots) out of the door. But I did not hit anybody. When they stopped shooting they ran to the woods and stayed there a quarter of an hour and I heard them coming mack. "They called my wife and asked her, hadn't they killed me and she told them, no; he has just left here and they went behind the house and looked in the alley. And they found one of their men dead and they said, I thought that I had killed the Nigger; I shot the wrong man. My wife told the next morning (what had been said) and they beat her and put her in jail and kept her there three months. They told her if she told what they said, they would kill her. ACCUSED OF KILLING "That morning they run them all away from home and beat them all and the little baby was crying for bread and they knocked a hole in my baby's head with a pistol. They stuved there and ate my food for two weeks. They left their automobile and slept there. They got there at 11 o'clock at night. If they had called me I would have gone anywhere they wanted me to. Because I have never done anything to anybody. My pistol was a 32 (calibre) and the man was killed with a 38. You see that there was no way for me to kill that man and the paper stated that he came over here to the state penitentiary three times trying to make me tell them who done the killing. They are now punishing me for it and know they punish me for what one of their own men done. They said I shot him through the crack and there was no crack in my house. I asked the lawyer to go to my house and look because there is no crack in my house. "They whipped all the colored people so that they all are scared to do anything to help me. I had about 300 acres of land and I only tended to a 3 horse farm for myself and I worked a 5 horse farm for the white folks and let the best of my land lay out. I had not got anything out of the 5 horse farm that I worked for and I ran an 8 horse farm in all. I was not half done picking cotton and had not gathered none of my corn. I always take one hundred bales of cotton and 100 bales of corn. I had the crop that I had in some time. I owed some on my land but it was not much. But I had made arrangement with the Federal Bank of Columbia, S. C., and was looking for the check the same week that this trouble happened to me. "They had loaned me $1,800.50 to pay up what is owed, and the same time the trouble happened. They took all that I had ever to my household and kitchen furniture and they took my clothes, and my wife's clothes and all the chickens and my gun out of my house. They took 150 chickens; 14 hogs; 5 turkeys; 6 geces; 150 gulls of syrup; 15 bushel of peanuts; all of my sweet potatoes, about 25 or 30 bushel and about 20 bushel of peas. They took my gold watch, value $00, and my wife's watch value $00, and the girl's watch, worth $35 and $55 in cash and a car worth $700. * * * The whole value is about $2,000. My tax bill was from $60 to $85 every year and I always have arranged to pay them.

JUDGE REFUSES VERDICT "Whenthey tried me the last time the jury brought out a verdict of not guilty and the judge made them go back in the room and change their decision.

The sheriff told my wife that if she would swear for me, that they were going to kill her or any of the rest of my people and they were scared to come to the court house and tell the truth about it. "You know they did not have a right to come to my house at 11 o'clock at night and break in. They claim that they had a warrant for me for a bale of cotton but it was untrue. They must have come there to kill me. If they had called me I would have gone anywhere they wanted me to go with them and got them all the cotton they wanted. It seems to me like they would come in the day. I don't see why they came at that time at night. "I stayed around there one week and I saw they was going to kill me, I went into Georgia. They whipped Gus Glover so bad until the people are looking for him to die and Ida Culbreath, Sump Jones, Joe Culbreath, David Glover and Butler and all my family. They whipped all of them. I have got the names. * * * * * . Write these people that I gave their names and they will tell you all about it. The State Supreme Court in reviewing the man's trial said that no one had been deputized to make the arrest of Culbreath. A band of men gathered at his house and someone called that the sheriff was there with a warrant, which was untrue, accorded to him. The sentence of death was held unjustified because the man was fleeing out of fear and not to escape arrest.

The professor had told him that he could use it whenever he wished. Selecting a book on astronomy he sat down to read. After reading for some time he heard a sound as if someone were ascending the back stairs. "It is Mrs. Bruce," he said as he continued reading. He remembered that Prof. Bruce had gone to attend a meeting at the club. Suddenly he became aware of voices upstairs. Going to the foot of the stairs he thought he recognized Mrs. Bruce's voice: there was another that sounded like a man's. He had never heard it before. The voices were quarrelling and grew louder and louder. He started to climb the stairs. Presently he heard Mrs. Bruce say distinctly, "I am sorry. My husband was here any moment."

GOLDEN TEXT - fear, fear the Lord, and serve him with truth in your heart; for consider how great things he hath done for you. The Integrity of Samuel's Administration-Ve. 1-5. "Samuel is remembered in Isalitiah history as prophet, reformer, judge, man of prayer, and king of Israel, among our leaders. We wish that we know more about his active years, but if we compare the condition of the Isalitians in Els' days with their condition when, strong in their belief in the Lord they overthrew the Phillisite yoke we shall realize how great a man he was and how great a great prophet. Perhaps if we, knew more of his history we should go further and declare him to be the second founder of true religion among the Isalitites." Samuel as the last representative of the theocracy addressed to all assembled at Mispel. The old prince granted by God's permission and command Israel's request-appointed a king to rule over the people. The people testified that Samuel was a just judge he had not oppressed or defended the people neither in the tribe nor in any of his dealings with the people. The venerable judge, in resigning his magistral authority, challenged the most minute inquiry in to every act of his administration. History scarcely any where presents a more striking example of the moral巩华". And he said unto them, The Lord is witness against thee, that ye have not found caught in my hand. And they answered, He is witness. V. 5. There was done of Tennison in his Ode on the Duke of Wellington apply to serve, the True Patriot: The Statesman-warrior, moderate, resolute, Whole in himself a common good; Great in council and great in War. President captain of his time. 0 good gray head which all men knew, 0 voice from which their all men all men drew, 0 iron nerve to true occasion truel 0 iron nerve to Unwering Loyalty to God. Va. 20.23. "The point upon which Samuel insulate me to be this: whatever form of government you have, judge or king, you cannot do without Jehovah. You how is not in the same hands as him. You have not in the same hands and may have been you may have him. Now the two considerations behagging to this old time, pertinent to our own are: (1) You cannot do without God, whatever ability, organization, wealth; what you have in your work in the way of aparasus ad machinery, you cannot do without him. The great danger of Israel now was that she should trust entirely in her hands. The great danger of Israel now was the great danger in machinery or in man. And the other thing is (2) That we may have God: he does not forsake we men who forsake him. It is our one and only hue that he clauses to us, in our wilful controlling hand." (Charles Brown). Samuel admonishes Israel to fear God and to serve him with all the heart; and turn aside from following the Lost. The proverb should be from God: (1) to be should be loyal to God: (1) to serve idols (in things) was unprofitable: (2) God would forsake his people: (3) God had already sent his people to be locked up; God would destroy Israel and her king. Make no delay in the choice of God; give him up to talent, whole and fresh to be life-long to his service. Dr. Bushnell. Samuel was an unselfless leader. That he was deeply concerned about the welfare of Israel is evidenced from verse 23 he would be prostrate to prey on people and to leash them to right their feet. Samuel would not withdraw himself from his case for Israel's future. There remained in him the two greatest weapons for moral deception and teaching. The one point she made was that she was his other faith. Such are a prophet's weapons, and her minister than a king's sceptre or a warrior's sword. - Fraser. Samuel's sphere was not that of a warrior, of a spokesman for God. The more important role she played was all to him, especially in his noble unselflessness and humility, in his devotion to the highest interests of his people and in his loyalty to Israel. Prof. George L. Robinson. BRIGGSGOSH SMITH His strength is the substance to his poor, his sympathy to the oppressed, his heart to God. V. 4. So live that your life will stand an in vestition. Then hands and a pure heart are the external requisites of a good judge. The whole of religion is to fear God and to right. GRACE P. F. CHURCH Bishop P. E.

Powell and the matchless J. E. Oustin of Penna, and from Va., such men of affairs as Mr. B. L. Jordan, the secretary-treasurer of the Southern Aid Society of Virginia, Geo. E. Moore, M. D., Rev. M. L. Gordon, of Staunton; Mr. Watkins Thompson, of Danville, and others whom we cannot here mention. Every church and district organization, every big hearted Baptist, should be there; not some time during the session; but at the opening hour, the first chorus of thanksgiving and recension which welcome the great hearts of Roanoke hold in reserve for us. I take this method of thanking you for the kind and very hearty support you have given me during the five years I have had the honor to be your president. However feeble the efforts, I have done my best under the circumstances to add something worth more to our heritage which we are to leave our children. We have ought to make the work of His kingdom go, spread His gospel and build a great Christian institution of learning which shall stand in the shadows of the eternal, and spread its light far and wide. The further we go the greater the work, and thus the greater the need of more moral and financial support. Brethren who are forward, don't give less but more each year until his work is done and His Kingdom is come. We are asking you for $2,000 as your contribution towards the support of our great school at Lynchburg and Christian Missions this year. And when you consider how little this is for each member of your church, I am sure you will say we cannot afford to give less than our president is asking of us, for the amount per member is too small and the needs of our Lord's work are too great. If you cannot possibly send a delegate, mail your contribution to our organizing secretary, Rev. M. C. Allen, A. B. Alhogar, Va. Pray for a great success and meet us at the First Baptist Church, Roanoke, Va., Wednesday, May 9th, at 9 a.m. Memorial service will be held on Tuesday night the 8th, at 8:00 o'clock to the memory of Doctors Nelson Jordan, B.

Miller preached two interesting sermons Sunday. For his morning topic he talked from Psalm 100: 1. "Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, the word of picture of how the Lord can use the people to a better advantage when they praise him with gladness.

PAUL SHUTS OUT BRICK, BEATS SEMINARY AND LOSES TO UNION (BY J. L. WHITEKLEE) Bricks, N. C., April 28rd — In a fast game featured by heavy hitting and brilliant fielding, the opposing teams superb nine shut the aggressive machine of Joseph K. Brick School here today by the score of 4 to 0. Only one man of the local team reached the third sack. Jones starred for Brick. Reid played a good game; and Ashford, while found for four clean hits, showed splendid form. Blackwell, Maddux, Wilkerson; Parker and Captain Harris were among the outstanding figures in the visitor's dugout. Walker and Williams tossed nice ball and held the locals to eight scattering hits.

Captain Harris exhibited a spectacular defense and fensive game. Parker played stellar ball at and handled the old slab timely, while Blackwell, Wilkerson, Cooke, Collins and Madden were at their best. Bruce played snappy baseball. Hilton's fielding was opportune and thrilling. Abbott pitched well. The catching and throwing of Polk and Woodruff were good.

This company comprised 15 including beautiful girls, good singers and dancers and witty comedians. Tuesday and Wednesday will be seen on the screen. Speed Charles Hutchinson's latest book will be small and booked booked for the Palace is "Thunderclap" which will be shown Tuesday and Wednesday. "Thunderclap" is the greatest race track drama ever staged. It features high play in high life, attended by stirring adventures. The book is set in scenes in the swirling rages reach the pinnacle of sensation in "Thunderclap." One of the big emotional moments in this screen-drama is, a Woman paralyzed in a chair, unable to move while those she loves are threatened with dinger, and a creature that is unable to move and only with her eyes she gives indication that she knows what is going on. Unless the girl marries the man he has picked for her, the camper is doomed to die alone. But if she is the mother, he tries to force the girl to consent. But fate steps in at the door and saves her. That is a big dramatic moment in *Thunderstorm*. It is written. It is filled with tingling scenes cynicism, romance of youth and glamor of love. permeate the stirring scenes. It is the most elaborate drama ever flashed upon the screen. The director selects the characters in the edges of their seats. form. After the third inning the game was an interesting encounter. Veritable sportsmanship took precedence over everything. Williams pitched a unique game, and in the last five acts was well supported. Wilkerson performed admirably. His double play resulted from his catch of Jones' short foul, and his subsequent throw to Parker in the outing of Edgar off first, was the outstanding event of the battle. Parker was a terror at first. Harris, Bruce, Maddux and Cooke deported themselves in a manner befitting veteran athletes. Although Merritt was found for seven hits, his delivery was effective. Edgar, Adams, Gregory, Nelson, Mask, Boffman and Wilson a nice, snaggy game. Johnson acted in perfect form. Both Jackson and Captain Adam were forced to retire on account of injuries. They were succeeded by Jones and Ballard, who displayed a varied style of baseball. ST.

UNION TRIUMPHS OVER HAMPTON UNION TRIUMPHS OVER HAMPTON Now Formidable Contenders for Inter-Collegiate Championship Honors; Even Chances. Richmond, Va.—With the star twirler, Merritt, pitching big league ball, the Virginia Union University baseball team added another victory Saturday by defeating the formidable Hampton Institute baseball club, 8-3, thereby practically cinching the Colored Intercollegiate Championship. By comparative scores, Union's chances of defeating V. N. and I. I. in the runners-up Saturday should be good. Hampton defeated V. N. and I. I. 6-1, and Union beat Hampton 8-3. Three remaining games are to be played. Merritt had 15 strikeouts to his credit and his best value in the victory, but not a timely triumph. His team-mate, Misk, also connected with the pill for a triple and a single, Gunn, of Hampton, hit for three bases for his team. Hampton was held scoreness for the first seven innings, but staged a belated rally in the eighth which netted them 3 runs. The game was called in the 8th on account of darkness. Jackson, the blue and white shortstop, surprised the visitors by making a sensational catch of a ball. Jackson, of Union caught his usual consistent game.

Hill Toppers Easy Victors Over Seminary Nine In a Slow Game With Many Errors. Petersburg, Va.—In a game characterized by a lack of pep, and punctured by costly errors on the part of the visitors, the Hill Topppers sent the Lynchburg pitching ace to the showers and pounded on a second, to the tune of 14-3, in a loosely played game today. The visitors were able to score in the third, when they got three of their six hits, together with a walk, and two more in the sixth when Brown made a costly error in right field, along with a two bagger by Wingo, and a pass to Lander. With the exception of these two innings they were never within "scoring distance." The Hill Topppers, however, scored in every inning, but the first, and should have scored in this had not Moses and Coles tried to stretch too much. Score by innings: r. h. Va.

PHILADELPHIA TEAM WILL ACCEPT DATES Philadelphia, Pa.—The Philadelphia Seconds have a winning club of young players, who expect to make it hard for some of the best lightweight teams in the country this season. They hope to meet the Hillsdales, Royal Giants, Black Sox, and other teams of equal strength. The line-up at present constituted is as follows: James Sarges, first base; Herbert Ames, second base; Milton Knight, short stop; Herman Baird, right field; base John Goodman, left field; H Harris, center field; Grant Spaulding, center field; Ole Skinner, catcher; Amase, catcher; Walter O'Connor, pitcher; Thomas Lewis, pitcher; Sain back, McHare, Howlett. Manager, Clarence Bowe, Philadelphia Scout Baseball Club, 1809 Water street, Philadelphia, Pa. Portsmouth Pirates To Begin Season Manager John Wright had his Portsmouth Pirates on the diamond Thursday for a general practice and they were certainly there with "ginger" and "peep." They are a promising looking bunch of ball players, and it is believed will give the clubs of this section some real trouble. The team has not played a game this season, but is scheduled to meet the Athletics, of Berkley, Saturday, May 5, at Paige's Park, Campestella. Those present at the general practice were: Captain John Gilliam at the initial sack; "Kid" Adams, at the keystone corner; "Duth" Alexander, short field; "Cootie" Potts at the hot corner; besides being a good ball player Potts has the reputation of being the clown of the team, as he is always doing the comical stuff; "New Baby" Penn, right garden; "New Baby" cane; Joe Hahn, left garden. Mann has a reputation worth considering. He played in 9 games last season, accepting 32 chances, without an error and batted 286. "Dye" Scott went to the center garden for a few rounds, showing much of last year's form. Clearly, a catcher secured Dove Creek, looks to be a valuable man. Charlie Alexander, also a new man, looks very good on the diamond. "Pop" Bullock and Howard Smith seem to be the most effective pitches. Grimes, a catcher, has not arrived from a high school team with which he is playing. Butt's hasn't reported from Baltimore. Blount, who played center field last season, is now with a club in Boston, Mass. Last season's second baseman has not yet reported. Persons wishing to get in touch with these club games write to John Wright, 602 Effingham street, Portsmouth. V. N. & I. I.
