PROSECUTION RESTS IN GARVEY'S CASE DEFENSE OPENS AS NOTED TRIAL DRAWS TO END Sensational Testimony Develops in Cross-Examination of Witnesses; Auditors say Money Was Squandered. New York, June 8—Further testimony against Marcus Garvey and three of his associates who are on trial here charged with using the mails to defraud, were developed on Friday when it was brout out by testimony of Thomas P. Merrilless, expert accountant for the Black Star Line, for an examination of the books of the Black Star Line he discovered a deficit of $476,169.58. This is for the period from July 1, 1919 to January 5, 1922. The amount the bankank at the latter date was $31.12. At Friday's session the court was even more crowded than usual. The legal style of Marus Garvey, who is acting as his own attorney, cramped in somewhat cramped by the terrible blows of, recent testimony. His impressive cost was absurd. His whole attitude indicated a lowering of morale. He fell into blunder after blunder and once get the court to reconsider the decision to a ruling by Judge Mack in his favor. Prosecutor Mattuck had objected to one of Garvey's questions, and he was acquitted by court. Garvey, however, broke into hot protest. Judge Mack informed him that he had already overruled the objection the prosecution had made. Garvey loved "objection," and the court went into a paroxysm of mirth as the self-constituted lawyer put an end to the objection on behalf of his opponent. INSISTED ON BLANK CHECK ACCOUNT When Fred Powell at one time assistant treasurer of the Black Star Line, was being cross-examined by Garvey and had testified that all money that came from sale to Garvey was to be given to Garvey, the latter asked: "For what purpose was the money turned over to Mr. Garvey?" "I can tread your mind. You took money you wanted it," you said. Q. How do you know Mr. Garvey took that money? A. Because I saw you. Q. Saw me? Hearsay, you mean. A. Hearsay, nothing! Say, you saw you go ask Tobias (treasurer and one of the defendants) for blank checks and he signed a whole bunch and gave them to you. Because I tried to get a better system for the fold hand on me and said I was a conspiracy against you. "There were times," he told Garvey with an engaging "frankness, "when I thought you were off your mind." Testimony by Merrillides brought out that the number of shares in the Black Star Line-outstanding at the time of his examination was approximately only a part, as testimony is only a part, as testimony to another account, W. L. Jamison, showed that forty-three stock record books are missing. SEVERAL SUSPICIOUS ENTRIES Figures from the statements showed frequent items under stock-selling expenses of more than $10,000 for "music," Travel cost than $4,000, and there one "advertising" item of $28,369 from June 10, 1920. From that date to June 10, 1921, there was an operating deficit of $163,512.15 on the line's three ships. $9,000 on "GHOST SHIP" Almost $9,000 was collected for passages on the "ghost" ship "ship" and the time difference was exposed by the Crusader Magazine, in an article that laid the basis for the present prosecution. The State rested its case about 2:30 p.m. Friday afternoon, and the court adjourned that court be adjourned until Monday. Judge Mack smilingly agreed and asked all persons interested to pray for a "speedy defense." CHARGE FAUD FROM THE START The prosecution has attempted to prove so far, that Garvey had no intention of getting "bushy," that NORFOLK, VIRGINIA/SATURDAY, JUNE 9, 1923 when he was finally forced to do so, he used it mainly as a bait to trap the guilthead—one witness said that Garvey allowed a cargo to perish while he took the Yarmouth from port to port in order to exert pressure on the money to his own use, not paying his employees. GARVEY WAS ANXIOUS TO GET SHIP Leo H. Healy, Assistant District Attorney in the Brooklyn courts, said that, as counsel for the North American Steamship Co., he said he had difficulty in accomplishing this, as no officer was available. Black Star Line, to Garvey for $168,500—$3,500 of which was for transfer from the Canadian registry to the American one. Mr. Healy said that he had difficulty in accomplishing this, as no officer was available. Black Star Line had the money, and because of Garvey's "objection to American citizens." I told him he could get one American citizen on and so fix the matter. Mr. Healy said that he actually objected, saying that he wanted Liberians only." There was considerable embarrassment in the negotiations from the start, said Henly. The day the Yarmouth was to sail, he said, "If it did not go on, I absolutely refused to let it go. Mr. Garvey said that there would be a riot if the vessel did not go — there were some 6,000 on it, and I absolutely refused to see it, if off—and Mr. Garvey pleaded with me and I finally consented to let it go as far as 23rd street. He was then at the 135th. Under a cross-examination, by Garvey, Healy said that Garvey was so anxious to get the Yarmouth that he would have paid $200,000 out. I can't it a fact that Harrison, McGill and Co. did everything they could to influence the purchase of the Yarmouth, Mr. Henly. Yes. No, they were not anxious. I knew I'd have paid $200,000, you were so-anxious to get the boat. Q. Do you know of any reason why Garvey wanted a ship? A. I heard that Kilroo was forcing him to buy one. Q. When you negotiated a contract for $165,000 did you believe the ship was worth it? I did not. Q. You did not? Mr. Harris (the president of the North American Steamship Co.) told me Garvey had plenty of money—that you had 6,000,000 Negroes and that you were going to collect a dollar a head from every Negro in the world, and that he was out to get much as he could out of the deal. Under continued cross-examination Healy persisted in declaring that Garvey was much more anxious to buy than his clients were to sell. Witness, when asked by Garvey regarding his personal opinion of Garvey, said that the latter had impressed him so much "that it almost made me feel that I wanted to buy some, stock."

The personnel of the group was notable, including the presidents of the Clubs, the State Association, University Women and the Woman's Legislative Council, and of nearly all the great denominational missionary organizations. The group accepted membership in the Inter-Racial Committee and issued a declaration that justice must be made to prevail in race relations and that all movements for better citizenship, public health, sanitation, education, recreation and religion must include the Negro, the common welfare, State and local authorities were called upon to protect all citizens alike. gardless of color, and the idea that lynching is ever justified was vigorously repudiated. Mr. Walter Smith Entertains Children of the Price School on Private Playground. The children of J. C. Price School on B avenue, enjoyed a delightful picnic through the generosity of Mr. Walter, Smith, 1709 Hunter street, on his private playground adjoining his home Wednesday afternoon. Mr. Smith had previously arrived to entertain the little ones and had children than twenty feet long, laden with peanuts, besides he had lemonade in large size he had tubs. Through the cooperation of the Robinson, and teachers, the children permitted, to avail themselves of Mr. Smith's hospitality. At about 12:30 the scholars, led by Mr. Robinson and escorted by a number of teachers and Mr. Patron's League, arrived of the playground, and there was a veritable bive of them. They were grouped and with difficulty kept seated, they could be photographed. The photographed circling. With this they kept the little ones just fell to it, and away they did make with the nice things Mr. Smith had prepared for them. Eating, drinking and playground and teachers had to call the affair off so as to resume school work for the afternoon. Probably there is not, on record and certainly not in this section, a private citizen has picniced a whole school at his personal expense. Mr. Smith seems to possess a sense of idealism difficult to duplicate in these days of materialism. He is a child of the neighborhood on a valuable locket, 45 by 150 feet, a private playground which he has equipped at his personal expense with a modest outfit of playground equipment. All children in the neighborhood are not only invited to come and play but encouraged to use it. The lot is fenced in, and is high and wide, with a door and in order. In fact, it is a splendid playground, affording the little ones plenty of room to roam and play one corner of the lot, constructing a playground of 10 by 10 feet, with a deep floor of dry sand. This is the playhouse for the tiny tots. In the sand Mr. Burries pennies and enjoys himself watching the kiddies dig them out. One of the most admirable features noticeable about the whole thing is that in this little house there hang on the walls large picture charts, each one particularly appropriate for suggesting Jesus to the little minds. It is said by the neighbors that at times there are as many as a hundred children using the playground suggested pay of any sort from their parents. When asked what prompted his idea of converting such a valuable plot into a playground from which no revenue could possibly incur, he suggested pay of the father of nine children and watching them enjoy their play caused him to offer his big yard for the benefit of all children in the neighborhood. But, he did not stop at offering it, to the kiddies, he also bought equipment at his personal home. He claims that he maintains his youth by only watching the children play. And it appears to be true, because Mr. Smith gives his looks not a day past 36. He says that he hopes to enlarge the play facilities on the large board, reaching all the way across the front gate, the inscription, "Play of the indelible Labor in Its Highest Form." One need not get an idea that Mr. Smith is a man of wealth and in doing this he is doing what he has done for him, and he is true. He is a thirty man and works every day for the city at the Armory building. He says that no money could possibly buy for him what he could buy for entertaining the army of children who call on him. And to watch him carry heavy tubs of certainty, become convinced that what he says is true. SCHOOLS MAKE A FINE SHOWING WITH EXHIBITS Vocational Work of Colored Children Very Creitable; Miscellany of Objects Show Results of Courses Studied. The vocational work of the colored school children made a very creditable showing in the Norfolk City Schools Vocational Exhibit held at Rountree's old place at the corner of Main and Granby streets Friday and Saturday. Hundreds of people viewed the exhibit and very favorable comment was heard related to the work of the colored pupils. The whole exhibit made an excellent system, the work of the white children covering various phases of domestic and mechanical arts. These boys and girls had fashioned electric motors, plumbing, furniture, millinery, dresses and a mime. The work of the future will fill for the future fitness of the high school graduate to find a place in the scheme of things. Great Educational Value ..... Altho the work of the colored pupils was not near so elaborate, it was no less significant in its educational value. The teacher T. Washington High School exhibited a complete bedroom set; that compared vigorably with like products of specialized factories. Kitchen cabinet, flower stands, electric lamp stands were also exhibited as concrete evidence of the training in the manual arts. All of this work was creditable, indeed. Rugs fashioned from old neck ties and other discarded material made by the girls of this school readily impressed one of the value of the domestic art course pursued by the girls of this school. United States flags, children's garments, millinery and various objects were among their collection. The exhibit of the J. C. Price, John T. West, Lott-Carey and Armstrong school was admirable, especially so as boys and girls. Children's clothes made from old garments were numerous among this collection. And the finished products could readily be made use of. There was a collection of baskets made by the ungraded school students, so as boys and girls. Scholars from a class of backward children who do not so readily take to the three Rs. They are coached slowly in class work and much attention is given to developing them in the manual and domestic arts to which they more readily respond. The school method, obtaining human values undreamed of in former days. Mothers of today viewing the work of the children and reflecting over their lack of opportunity to secure such training in their youth were deeply impressed as they read the book, which has been trained along the lines which they must now of necessity follow with hit or miss methods. Idea of Thrift The ida of thrift predominate in the whole vocational method as exhibited by the schools. No costumes are required in any of the garments or rugs. Each object represented the savaging of something. Old night gowns, house dresses and suits are made into useful clothes for children. Prof. Rydingsvard is head of the vocational work of the city schools. Mrs. W. E. Lawrence, Miss Monter, Miss Jordan and others had charge of the exhibit of the colored schools. Dr. Cottén On District Rev. T. W. Cotton, D. D. who was made presiding elder of the Roanoke district at the recent session of the Virginia A. M.

John Mitchell, Jr. Visits The City John Mitchell, Jr., of Richmond, recently convicted on charges growing out of alleged irregularities in the operation of the Mechanics Savings Bank of which he was president, was in the city this week. Mr. Mitchell in referring to his case, stated that he realizes that he has a hard fight on hand, but adds that he will be vindicated in the end. He was in fine spirit and showed no signs of depression on account of his recent experiences. The will to fight to the bitter end was evident in his dismisman as he lithosophically remarked, "I've got a hard fight, but I'll beat 'em."

ADVISED RACE LEADERS TO THINK CAREFULLY Columbia, S. C., June 8.—In a letter addressed to a leading citizen of the State, Governor McLeod, of South Carolina, states in effect that migration of Negroes to the north and west is not so much the Southern white man's concern as it is of the Negro himself and the communities to which he goes. The text of the letter in part is as follows: "The lack of prosperity coming to the Negro in the south is by he means altogether to be blamed, or even in a large measure, to the treatment he received. It is due more especially to economics and other conditions which neither he nor the white people who like him nor the black people who are able to control. These conditions, we all hope, will change for the better, and upon a return of profitable farming to the south an quite new world would suffice for us. My objections to that our Negro people shared, in enjoyed the days of prosperity. They have of course suffered in the days of adversity. They have not been so severely affected by the ingestion. I think the most serious problem from the standpoint of the Negro is whether or not his condition has improved by removal to the north. You must bear in mind the proven historical fact that while the northern people love the Negro en masse and as a race, they have not been able to improve him as an individual. On the other hand it is a fact that there are few white people in the south who have not friendly relations with the Negro, and vice versa. All these things are to be taken into consideration. Certainly, no one will disagree with you on the proposition that the Negro is entitled to justice in the jurisdiction of labor from this state is upon the statute books and is the law of the land. It applies to the solicitation of labor of any kind, white or Negro, and is primarily solicitation of labor from agricultural or individual stagnation by a general exodus of labor at any time. It is likewise intend of to protect laborers, who are not away by olly-tongued, per capita paid solicitors who carry them into conditions which may or may not be lucrative or comfortable and our difficulty conditions they are in course of time recover, and will. It is primarily the problem of the exodus of the Negro from the south is by no means entirely the south in course of time recover, and will. It is primarily the problem of the Negro. He goes to a new home different occupation, different climate, different surroundings, and differently different class of white people than those among whom he has been accustomed to live. It is likewise a problem of the communities migrating. He is only wanted there as a laborer and is not welcomed by others than those in whose employment he goes. We have had experiences of the north and in the west and expresses itself not only as against the individual, but enmase "I am writing you more fully because there is much that the thoughtful people of your race should consider, and he who encourages his people to be thoroughly cognizant and reasonably sure of their future in the homes they are going to establish."

Nixon the hair-hair, who has been in Norfolk for 16 years, one of the first persons who started in the hair dressing work, having been a barber for years in first class colored and white shops it was an easy matter for him to skim the idea of treating the hair. He Chattanooga, Tenn., working for a white shop in his white shop I observed Mrs. Higgs, his wife, who conducted a hair dressing parlor for white people as there were no hairdressing parlor for colored people at that time, crimping and curling straight hair with hot crimpers. It then came into view mind that if, hot iron could curl and crimple straight hair, then hot iron could straighten kinky hair also. From that idea he combined the straighten comb which is used in the Eureka comb. That was in the years 1881-1892.

So I've got to be keerful what I do, In front of my offspring guest, For I'm the chap that he keeps in view. This fellow that knows me best. He'll lean on the arm of my Morris choo firs cheer, With eyes wide open ye know, 'An he'll ast what tobaker is fer, An' what makes the whiskers grow. He'll mebble inquire afore he's thru, Why I don't button my vest, He's a little aristocrat, staunch and true, This feller that knows me best. I've got to look pleasant around the house, An' cultivate manners new, For I can't make a move that this little mouse don't copy, The thing that I do. In short, I'm living a constant prayer, With anxious heart in my breast, An' I don't it's nothing more than fair, To the feller that knows me best. When you cross two plants you raise a hybrid.

"I have been married thirty-five years. Yes sir! One of the first lessons my father ever taught me was to take my punishment without squealing." "That was the hardest blow of all," said the little boy blue as he blew his nosc. "That's where the shoe hurts," said the Norfolk bride, as she felt the back of her head.

(Nehemiah, an Example for Men of 10:1. The Work of Nehemiah Opposed, verses 6-8. The Importance of Nehemiah's Walt Nehemiah was a devoted people in a new opportunity in life. It was to help keep a live a civilization which was not there. It stood for the conversation in Israel which would contain Israel to give the most that Nehemiah fully understood all this in order to see the wall he built was to shelter the people together in days to come. When the wall was completed a furtive people had to and group life by. Hugh. Sahaliata, and Thibah, and the Arabina and the Ammanites and the Ashabites and the building of the well. They used the weapons of riddle, threat, and compulsion in the building of the well. They used the work. What are those feewide doing? Doe. Even that which they are building is not done. But all the wall was built into the heights: for the people had a mini-world. So the Sahaliata are not dead often when you would attempt some new or difficult modern Sahaliata, or modern Sahaliata need to stand about and say. You can't anything; you are not strong enough; you cannot enough; you haven't enough; the idea of your attentions such a A. B. B. There are times we must may with us look upon when: light of danger, danger paying against danger is but a sham, danger against danger is but a sham, danger against danger. If we pray that watchman be surprised by the enemy, we must watch lost the enemy surprise us. I use the word "surprise" because we must watch for the enemy's coming but we may use our God-given strength and not approach us, we ought to until an answer to our prayers, that we may use our God-given strength and not approach us, we ought to until a God for help that does not include inclusion of doing something ourselves. The Work of Nehemiah Makes Preserves verses 13-15 13-15.

Inter-Collegiate Association Issues A List of Officials COMMITTEE PICKS ALL C.I.A.A. TEAM Shaw and Hampton Only Schools in Association Not Represented Among Aces. Richmond, Va., June 8.—At the annual meeting of the C. I. A. A. March 10, 1922, at Shaw University, Raleigh, N. C., a committed of four was appointed, whose official mission is to pick the All C. I. A. A. teams at the close of each sport season. The committee realizes that such a mission is difficult when conditions are the best, but the past season has been one in which so many players have shown exceptionally good form, that the committee found considerable difficulty in choosing a man who might be termed the best in the association. However, the job had to be done, although several good men will, of necessity, have to be left out. - ALL C. I. A. A., FIRST TEAM - Moses, catcher, N. V. I.

The men were awarded letters on the basis of three or more points scored during two meets. Five of these men will be graduated in June. It is hoped that the material on hand, plus the new material, will be used again the next intercollegiate track championship that was recently lost to Howard by difference of two points. Athletics Down Point Slides It was one of the best games of the season, when Mason, known as Lefty Louis, and his pots of Lambert's Point, met Riddick and his famous nine for the first time of the season at Page's Park, Campo Verde, Louis. For the Slides seemed to have been in form, but the Athletic's batting eye had developed. Hockaday led off with a single, stealing second, while Nash laid out for a double, scoring him. *Hobson scratched*, Simmons taking him to third, Jaccocks had down a bunt and Hobson scored two runs. The Athletics got four hits and scored two runs in the first inning, and then, o boy, Steel Arm Tucker walked on the mound with Ellis to receive them from him, known as the Athletics' two aces. While the fans yelled Tucker beckoning, the team got one hit and no runs. 786 fans were present to cheer Tucker on to victory. The Slides filled the bases in the ninth with no one out. Tucker then struck one man, the second hit to him and he rushed it to home plate, and Ellis cut the man off, at first base. Simmons put on something extra to receive the throw. R. H. E.

Of the eight teams in the league, Shaw University of Raleigh, the only one that did not figure in the final rating of the teams. Clean, keen competition marked all the games and the friendly feeling manifested by all the schools speaks very encouragingly for the future of the league.

ST,PAUL REVISES ITS FOOT BALL SCHEDULE Williams Elected '24 Track Captain. Spring Football Practice a Success. Lawrenceville, Va., June S. - St. Paul School found it necessary to take a few changes in their 1924 football schedule. In order to give the schools of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association suitable dates. The schedule, which is a very heavy one, stands as follows: October 6, V. Seminary at Lawrenceville; October 13, N. C. State Normal at Lawrenceville; October 20, Hampton at Hampton; October 27, Livingstone at Lawrenceville; November 3, National Training School at Lawrenceville; November 17, St. Augustine's at Lawrenceville; November 24, Union at Richmond; November 29, Shaw at Raleigh. St. Paul will play Howard and Virginia Normal in 1924. It will be recalled that Howard was scheduled for October 13th in a previous announcement. Howard, however, told the tigers that date because of the fact that the school which for a number of years had met the bisons on the second Saturday in October, desired to follow tradition. Junius Wilson Williams, '25, the flesty 100 yard and 220 yard dash at the 1924 Olympics, a 'varsity end on the '23 football team, was elected captain of St. Paul's '24 track team by the unanimous vote of the nine boys who represented the institution at the Hampton meet. Williams is a North Carolinaian. He is an agile and he is certain to prove himself a good leader and an all-round player of renown. The Football spring practice under Coach Winston Douglass and Captain Parker was a complete success. Fifty boys, among them new and promising recruits, took part in the preliminaries; and they manifested a keen interest in the great sport, regular football, which will begin Saturday afternoon, September 1st. The athletic management has assurances that all of the old players will be on hand at that time. :: IN THE THEATRES. plions of the C. I. A. A., losing but two games, one to Union and one to Hampton.

PORTSMOUTH COLONIAL If you want to discover who your real friends are, tell the world you're broke, says Tom Meighan." There is many a man longing to return to his old home town who does not because he would not want to come home "broke" as expressed in the title of Thomas Meighan's new Paramount picture coming to the Colonial Monday for a two days showing. Tom returns to the old town and goes thru all the embarrasses and humiliations of a man coming back home The strange part of it is that he is failure. You doubtless wonders what failure of going back with a big "splash" he allows the townpeople to believe that he has been unsuccessful. This wonderful picture is full of comedy and drama.

Chestier, P., Jan., June 8.—During commencement exercises Dr. W. G. Alexander, graduate manager of football, gave out the following statement: "Lincoln University seriously regretted that it will not have for another year the splendid services of ex-captain James E. Law, as director of athletics and football coach. The management had every reason to believe that after a successful year, Mr. Law would continue in the position which he so acceptably filled; but in deference to the urgent solicitation of his minister it became his task to establish his scholastic work, and will, therefore, enter upon the study of dentistry in Philadelphia in the fall. "While the University regrets the loss of the services of Mr. Law, yet it feels that it has been more than fortunate in securing as Director of Athletics and coach of football, basketball and baseball, Mr. U. S. Young, who at the present time is athletic supervisor of colored schools in Evansville, Ind. Mr. Young is graduate of Lincoln University, where his graduation he has been actively engaged in coaching high school and Y. M. C. A. teams. During the past two years the teams which he has coached at Evansville, have been considered the best in that section of the country. While at Lincoln Mr. Young was noted for his versatility. He was an honor student, the leader of the University Glee Club, a member of the football squad, a member of the baseball team and captain of the basketball team and addition to this was one of the most popular students in the University, and while he had the absolute confidence of the faculty, he was a recognized leader of the "Rabble" Mr. Young is coming to Lincoln under a three-year contract. This will insure a continuance of our policy for sometime to come. The longer the selection could have been made than that of Mr. Young." Panama Joe. Proves Easy for The Atlanta Scrapper In Snappy Bout. (By The Associated Negro Press) Toledo, Ohio, June 8—Kid Norfolk may be too much Tiger Flowers, but Panama Joe Gans is made to measure for him. The Atlanta Scrapper lived up to his jungle reputation when he won the middle weight colored championship of the world from Gans last Friday and made the spectators believe the chief likeness to his famous name sake which Panama possesses in the mountain. Before a well-filled Colkham, one of the host houses that has witnessed a fight here since Jimmy Wilde and Frankie Mason met for flyweight title. Flowers took a lead in the first round and not only held it but went further in front with each succeeding round, until when the twelfth was ended he was winner. Flowers was knocked down in the first round when Gans sneaked a hard left hook to the chin, coming out in a clinch. Flowers tripped over Referee Record's foot as he staggered back, and sat down, solidly. Record offered to award the fight to him on a foul but Eowers refused to claim victory on a foul: "I wanted to react, beat his man. Then he sailed, in and what he did to Gans was sinful. Someone said after the fight that the only solid blow Gans landed WELLS Richard Barthelmess in "The Bond Boy," appears at the Wells for a whole week beginning Monday.

Tuskegee Institute, Ala. June 8. Tuskegee to make the following statement: Many of our southern white friends have recently sought to express in some tangible way their deep gratitude for the unselfish devotion displayed by our mothers—slavery time Negroes and our fathers—even though no monument to them has been suggested—who were just as loyal to their owners as were our women. It is felt, that it would not be out of place also if more were said of the first and second generations of these same Negro people. Have they not a sense of honor that is shared with all of us, that we meet the present conditions as was true of their mothers and fathers in their day and time? It is not thought opportune to praise individual Negroes to the extreme and at the expense of the race. The mass of Negroes will discount such but in a broad and impartial way, set forth facts on the progress of the Negro people in the past twenty-five years. If the Negro is needed to help develop this section (which is commonly conceded) it is suggested that in their own way the daily white papers of the South carry the story of the Negro, forth some of the many good traits and virtues of the "New" Southern Negro as a racial group at the present time, as for instance: (a) Home Ownership, (b) Education, (c) Religious Growth, (d) Business, (e) Professions, (f) The Negro in the World War, (g) The Negro as Farmers, Mechanics, Common Laborers, etc. The white South could tell these stories more accurately than any other because that the Negro responds more quickly to praise, encouragement and fair treatment than any other separate racial group living among white people. Most of the Southern States are putting on advertising campaigns to attract white farmers from other states, and similar methods might be employed to help keep Negro labor here which the South already has. It is believed that through such campaigns, much good can be accomplished. It is also thought that no other agency can do as much constructive good at the present time as the Southern press towards building the friendship of the two races; for indeed there is much distrust and misunderstanding existing now, and the Negroes who are going North in large numbers are carrying, by word of mouth, a kind of news that is destined to do harm to this section of the country for many years to come, and that the Negroes are set in motion at once. In order to be effective, the desired change must first come from within. ROPER Roper, N. C.-Rice: C. S. Sesson, of Education,授到 at Mt. Erew Sunday, in R. E.

The council opened at 10:20 a.m., with devotionals conducted by Reys, J. H. Ricks and H. A. Brinkley, after which a roll call of the churches invited.

D. pastor of Pine Street Baptist Church, was called, and made a clear, forceful statement concerning the actions of the church from the time the Pine Street Baptist Church, Pine street, was torn down and the taking over of the property by the city, up until the congregation moved on Beech street, specified by Deacon Taylor and the church clerk, J. White, who produced a minute of the Pine Street Baptist Church as evidence. T. T. Tate, who led the disgruntled faction and Joe Reid, were given an opportunity to tell the cause of their rebellion. After all had been said, a committee was appointed to review the case and bring in a report according to the evidence. In a following report was unanimously adopted: I. We, your committee, after considering the matter of disagreement and disturbance of the members of Pine Street Baptist Church, recommend that with all the facts brought out in the open meeting, that the congregation worshipping at this place of worship (Beech street) is the real bona fide Pine Street Baptist Church. We, your committee, and recommend the Pine Street Baptist Church to grant letters to such persons as may apply for them, when they have complied with the regulations of the church. 3. Your committee further recommends, that all parties concerned will cultivate a Christian spirit and brotherly fellowship, and that nothing be done to encourage strife or ill will, but that each and all will do all in their power to show and to prove the spirit of the Lord Jesus. 4. We further recommend that the pastor, Rev. T. J. Johnson, has shown a beautiful Christian spirit and has done these things that become a Christian hearer and a pastor, and therefore has the full endorsement of this council and because of his actions and the course he has pursued, he has the sympathy, encouragement and support of the Christian ministry.

COMMENCEMENT AT NANSEMOND INST COMMENCEMENT AT NANSEMOND INST Suffolk Institution Closes Most Successful Year With Elaborate Ceremonies. Suffolk, Va.—After months of strenuous work, anxiety and effor- t, the school began its finals on Friday night, May 25. Under the training of Mrs. Alma Cannon, the music teacher, the high school classes presented the musical drama, "Pasquito," a Philippine play. The gay costumes of the tropics was a most attractive feature. The rendering of the music was entrancing and a clear knowledge of the tropical habits and spirit added to the attractiveness of the play. The actor was at his best and the vast audience attested their delight by frequent applause. This opening of the closing exercises was a fine fore- runner of what was to follow. On Sunday, May 27, a vast assembly of teachers, students and friends was present in the institute auditorium to hear the annual sermon to graduates and students delivered by the president. Dr. T. Kramer, deputy at 3 o'clock students assembled in respective places upon the campus at 3:15 o'clock the procession headed by the president, together with members of the school board and other prominent ment entered the chapel, as the school choir hastily sang "A Mighty Fortress is Our God." The various other classes, together with their respective teachers, followed. The members of the graduating class following last. Dr. T. D. Tharpe, Rev. J. J. Poez and others participated in the devotion of Solos were rendered by Miss Alberto Hall and Mr. Eddie Clary, the Institute and Mr. J. Wilson Parker, of Portsmouth, Va. These solos were rich and rare. Then followed one of the most masterful sermons ever heard in our city. In fact, it was a sermon of the highest merit, which any body of graduates might hope ever to hear. The text was taken from Proverbs, 4th chapter, 27th verse. The subject was, "The Challenge of the World in the Remaking of the American Negro." It was complete and to the point. The splendid collection was lifted by Dr. A. R. Themming, professor of Physics and chemistry in the Institute, and Mr. Henry Askew, cashier of Phoenix Business. On Monday night the primary grades, under Miss. Claudine Arrington, presented a very high class entertainment. The tiny tots covered themselves with glory. On Tuesday night the third and fourth grades, under the able instruction of Mrs. Mamie Estes, covered themselves with glory. Many were the pleasing comments of the large audience. On Wednesday night, the intermediate grades, under Mrs. Via Morris, followed with a very splendid program, which added to the incumens already given the school. On Thursday the purple rob and thira told of the crowning of all that had been. It was the Seniors’ "Class Under direction of Mrs. Dellah C. town supervisor of the school. This was a full of traditional fancies and fun. The Historian, the Prophet, the Gifttorian, the Mimic, and Biographist, each and all portrayed the characteristics with exertitude. They seemed to look into the future which fixed the deserthood of senior. The one expression elicited by Ne was, No plus ultra: There could be none, but Graduating night is to follow. Friday night was the record breaking night of the entire week. Long before the hour, the auditorium and' grounds were surging with a human throng such as had never before witnessed a graduating exercise at the institute in its historian. Graduating class, together with other members of Junior High School, presented a petition entitled, "The Striking of America's Hour." This was one of the most interesting as well as inspiring plays ever given by local talent of Suffolk. Following the close of the pageant, vocal and violin solos were rendered by Mr. Eddie Clary and Miss Emma Cannon respectively. Fourteen promising graduates met and were addressed by Dr. T. J. Johnson, after which he awarded them from the grammar department of the school. Forty members of the first, second and third years high school were awarded their cards of promotion. Dr. T. D. Tharpe now presented three prizes for excellence in physiology course. These prizes were awarded as follows: first, to Miss Margarete Skeeter; second, to Mr. William Williams; third, to Miss Katrina Williams; fourth, to graduate class presented to Dr. and Mrs. J. Johnson a handsome cut glass flower worm. Mrs. Johnson accepted in touch but beffting words. Dr. T. J. Johnson was at his best during the entire week. His addresses to the graduates was a masterpiece. The entire working force, together with student body, deserve special commendation for the wonderful progress made during the past term. With added facilities and teaching force, the president is looking forward to the coming term, which will begin September 17, as the record breaking year of the Institute. More than 25,000 square miles in Alaska have been acquired by the government as a naval oil reserve.

The vacation days are upon us, when the teachers can have a rest from hard work and responsibility and the children from hard work and enforced restraint, which are always irksome to youth. And may teachers and pupils profit to the utmost by the vacation days. Oswald Garrison Willard says in *The Nation*, his powerful weekly magazine, that Henry Ford can make good automobiles but would make a bad President. Like the late Pheneas T. Barnum, Henry Ford knows how to get a lot of advertising without paying the usual rates for it. Anyhow, a woman who can bake good biscuits will be able to hold a good husband, when she gets one, better than a woman who knows how to dodge making biscuits of any sort and resorts to baker's bread as a substitute. The woman who knows the most home accomplishments and how to make the most of them in a home, is simply a woman priceless. Herbert Leonard, the Harlem boy, has been jazzy his way to fame and cash in a New York theatre ever since he won second prize in the recent harmonica contest, and may have a regular engagement coming to him. Being real black ain't holding him back any and it should not hold anyone. The man makes the color; not the color the man; so go to it, whatever be your color. Colonel Young's Disappointment There was a worty clash between Dr. DuBois, editor of the Crisis and General Winchester Sladen, commandant of the West Point Military Academy, at the memorial services to Colonel Charles Young, at City College, in New York City, recently, upon the arrival of his remains from West Africa, for interment in the National Cemetery, at Arlington, Va. Dr. DuBois, in a splendidly prepared address, claimed that Colonel Young died of a broken heart and disappointment at being retired at the beginning of the World War, for physical disability, instead of being promoted to the rank of Brigadier General, to which he was eligible, and allowed to have active service in the war. General Sladen, who was a classmate of Colonel Young at West Point, took sharp issue with Dr. DuBois as to the treatment Colonel Young received at West Point and defended the War Department from the charge of having discriminated against Colonel Young. He said there were others who died of a broken heart because the War Department saw fit to retire them on account of their physical condition. "I make this point!", he said, "to show that Young was 'not singled out especially.' Which of them, the editor or the general, based his statement upon the facts? That is a very interesting question, one in which all of our former service men and those now in the service are vitally concerned. As a matter of fact the treatment our soldiers received at the hands of the War Department and their fellow officers and comrades in the World War, not only in the case of Colonel Young, who was not allowed to have active service, has been one of heated controversy, and will continue to be one. The facts appear to be against the War Department and against the white officers and service men overseas. The French, who showered honors upon our soldiers, could not be made to understand the hostile attitude of white American officers and soldiers towards their Afro-American comrades, and are still befuddled by it. But the attitude is not new; it has been held towards our soldiers by the white officers and soldiers of West Point, and adopted by the War Department in practice, ever since the Civil War days, with the outstanding exceptions of President Lincoln and General Grant, who were proud of our soldiers and not ashamed to place them in the forefront of the battle or to brevet them when they deserved it. No American will ever go further than Ulysses S. Grant in his utter disregard of race and color prejudice, in his treatment of our soldiers in war or our civilians in peace. It is a hopeful sign that General Sladen has deemed it good to defend West Point and the War Department against race and color pre- It is a hopeful sign that General Sladen has deemed it good to defend West Point and the War Department against race and color prejudices and practices. It may be the augury of better things. The Only Way to Success Such lectures as Judge William H. Harrison, of Chicago, gave the people of Norfolk recently, are the sort that help most the masses of the people who are laboring earnestly for better things but need the proper emphasis on the way best to obtain them. There is no new road to success. The old road is the new road. Sobriety, industry and the saving habit, which should be the lessons learned in the home and Sunday school and church, are the only signs by which the average man has made his condition of life and living better. All other signs fail and often land those who make use of them in the penitentiary. Take the following advice given by Judge Harrison and strive to live up to it and see what will happen, in contrast with those who follow a contrary philosophy: "Think of industry as we build a race. Work and save, we probably work enough, but we do not save enough. Spend for the things that count, put something in the bank for a rainy day. Have confidence in one's ability to do things. Confidence with skill of hands to do whatever man's hand can do. Strive on and we will make the highest contribution to the permanency of the world's civilization." We have banks and building and loan associations and insurance companies of our own to help us to be saving of what we earn and to invest the surplus to our advantage, and we are buying homes and rearing families and educating them for good citizenship. "All these things are praiseworthy and will grow as we grow in age and strength of years, the children building upon the works of the fathers. It is the only way to success, and we cannot have too much advice as to how to make the most of it. The Potato and Peanut Wizard What Luther Burbank, of California, has done for agricultural science by the crossing and grafting of fruit trees and the creation of new food products, Professor George W. Carver, of Tuskegee Institute, an Afro-American, is doing for Southern agricultural science. He is spoken of as the man who has developed 67 products from the peanut; 117 products from sweet potatoes; 85 from peanuts, "and an impossible array of cold-water paints and stains from Georgia clays." Prof. Carver is a scientist by nature. In his research work he has always had the enthusiasm of the born naturalist. His pupils are infected by his enthusiasm, his love of research, and inbibe much of his splendid spirit. Prof. Carver recently gave a three-day demonstration of his research work on the roof garden of the Cecil Hotel, at Atlanta, and captivated the white people of that city to such an extent that the Daughters of the Confederacy, Atlanta Chapter, passed a resolution commending his splendid work and pledging their interest and appreciation of his efforts to "exhibit, the products and possible industries of our South." That is a tribute of appreciation worth while to deserve but which is not always given. But the Daughters of the Confederacy have of late been doing some unusual things that show their appreciation of Afro-American people and their efforts to make good, and we would encourage their sympathy and appreciation, as it is easy to admit that no body of persons in the South stand higher in public esteem or is more influential in whatever they interest themselves than the Daughters of the Confederacy. Let us hope that we have many men in the making with the genius and character of George W. Carver, of "Tuskegee Institute. Their conquests in science will be worth everything to the race that makes for respect and influence. The Value of a Man Man is the unit of the world's thought, effort and achievement. For all that we may know, other creatures may be as good thinkers as man, but they are so built that they cannot make the use of their thought which counts for results. There is something lacking in their makeup. What is it? What is the value of a man in the community that he lives? That is a debatable question always. The man who can build up an industry that gives employment to a thousand people is worth a thousand and one persons to the community. The chances are that not one of the persons he employs has the genius to build a like industry or to operate it after another so built it. For purposes of voting and taxation one man is worth as much as another in a given community, and this makes the average man; but for purposes of conducting the public business or of creating tax valuations the exceptional man is not to be rated in the same way as the average-man. It has been estimated that the average man is worth a thousand dollars per annum in taxable valuation to his community, simply in the labor he furnishes and the necessaries that he purchases in order to furnish the labor; but he is not in the same rating with the man who conducts a large business, or owns much reality, which makes the basis of taxation, which the owner, albeit, pays through the labor of those he employs, as well as the upkeep of the labor so employed, and of himself and his family. In discussing causes that are loading to the loss by the South of much of its Afro-American labor supply, the Greensboro (N.C.) Daily News cites the case of the Federal agent, an intelligent Negro farmer, employed to instruct his fellows in agriculture by the State and Federal authorities, who was whipped near Chadbourn by some forty masked men, and reaches the following conclusion: "The DAILY NEWS, therefore, unhesitatingly declares that this one Negro is worth more to the state of North Carolina than the combined value of the 40 white toughs who whipped him. To which element in the population will the thoughtful citizenship of the state lends its support? It is utterly useless for the south to sit down and bewail the hard fate that is threatening to strip its fields of laborers. Wailing will do no one any good. Work, alone, is capable of changing the conditions that have brought about the movement; and it must be head work, a form of labor that has been entirely too rare among us hitherto." The efforts being made in some Southern States to divert foreign labor to the South is not likely to amount to much, as the Legitations of foreign countries at Washington would not advise any such movement because of the very conditions of wages and living and lawless abuse of law and legal process, which are the strongest arguments that are acting the Afro-American migrants to seek betterment in other sections of the country. Change, existing unjust laws and bad civic and legal conditions and the migrants will not go away. WEEK DAY S By DR. H. T.

Truth is stranger than fiction, but somehow it never gets listed among the best sellers. The Ethiopian Art Club starring on Broadway quite a distance downtown from Harlem, N. Y., suggests that we are growing somewhat serious as we grow older. People who advocate the return of "those wonderful days" do so evidently with the hope that if they return the commensurate pay-check won't. A recent scientific report states that fat people can stand more heat than thin people. Could it be possible that science has entered a conspiracy with Cupid to play favorites? Contrary to the views expressed by some of the laymen, New York's medical corps totter forward under the assumption that symptoms of illness can be treated effectively by eliminating restricted thirst. Abe Martin says, he "kin allus tell a pedestrian when she sits down in a cafe 'cause he decides so quickly." Don't be mislead, some married men act the same way. Some Alabama citizens, it appears, are naturally inclined to suspect that the veterans' hospital at Tuskegee should be a democratic institution with an autocratic personnel. Speaking of the June graduates, their first practical lesson will be a conviction that it requires an appreciation of the destiny of labor to climb. To the average European, the United States is New York City. Some New Yorkers are in the same dilemma, judging from their views on prohibition enforcement. It is said that a miracle is simply the result of a law that we do not understand. This seems to account for it. Henry Ford makes dollars out of tin. And though each morning new arise, Soon will say, you're out of date? Then winter comes with all his fears, And wilts you without warning, Too late, you'll shed some bitter tears, From early eve 'till morning. Spirit of The Press From Baltimore Afro-American "The death struggle of the Garvey movement" is what some people will discern in the pending court trial that "His Majesty, the Provisional President of Africa," is facing in New York. There is something tragic about the whole affair. Opinion will no doubt divide on the actual guilt of Garvey as to intent to defraud. Evidence already shows, however, that more than a million dollars was thrown to the winds in first one high shouting scheme after another; and that many a dollar was carelessly, if not fraudently used. The one outstanding fact in the whole debacle, is that it was possible to organize such a moralose movement the history of the world has a Negro anism with the ambitions of Garvey. Toussaint I. Overture sought to free a group of his countrymen. Denmark Vesey struck for the freedom of American slaves; but Garvey's vision embraced the Negro world. Garvey failed because he lacked business experience. The people of the colonized people could be organized in such a movement is significant. Some day, some leader, will arise who has both, organizing and business ability and then what things may happen God only knows. Bull Fighting in Rome From The Springfield. (Mass.) Union. Dispatches from Rome state that 80,000 persons filled the national stadium yesterday to witness the first-bull fights there and that the first-bulls were blood of the animals during each fight, but without seeing one of them dispatched." It is not a nice subject to contemplate, this business of infuriating animals so that humans may show their skill in combating them and perhaps slaughtering them before the multitude. But we can hardly assume a high and unty attitude toward the spectacle over here, but we can assume that the gooses to go unpunished without giving the poor unfortunate black men a chance to prove their innocence in court; also while in certain sections of our country self constituted groups are permitted to take the law into their own hands dragging persons from their homes and torturing them like savages. However, one of the Romans have seen so much bloodhed in the past that the sight of the blood of bulls would make them sick at heart.

Stores Overcome Evil With Good "But I command you all, love your enemies and pray for your servants; that so you may become true sons of your Father in Heaven; for he causes His sun to rise on the wicked as well as the good and sends rain upon those who do right and those who do wrong."—Matt, 5:44. Anyone who reads with care the text quoted above is bound to conclude that it is in place both as to spirit and time. It is timely because: 1. It was given by Jesus Christ our Savior. By oral confession unselfish living and vicarious suffering, Jesus proved that His mission on earth was to help and save mankind. That being true it is only necessary to know that Jesus said do something for us to act accordingly. He who 'gave up the glory that his War, took upon Himself the form of sintul fesh, and suffered the hardships of the poorest of the poor, for no purpose other than to save a lost world, is not a man who would not prove a blessing. Therefore, it is safe to conclude that the advice of the text is timely, because Jesus grave it. 2. It has universal application Every race group can point to enemies and at some time in its history has felt the heel of oppression. The command to love one's enemies and to pray for one's persecutors can therefore be applied to all races, especially the poorples. Especially can the Negro in America say that Jesus put that in His great Sermon on the Mount for him. Who is more conscious of enemies and has felt dire persecutions more keenly than the Negro who lives under the Stars and Triplets. Surely Jesus meant him when he prayed for his persecutors." 3. It is a challenge to all that it is highest, and best in man. There was a time in my life when I regarded the command to love enemies and pray for persecutors as base cowardice. I almost hated Jesus for having commanded it. But now I see in that command a challenge to all that is best in man. Since the devil is constantly appealing to that which is low and mean, Jesus would have been reckent to the Hirsch trust had He not apologized to the Hirsch and man. The devil's business is to make men like himself, wholly bad, Jesus' mission is to make men like Himself, wholly good, or "complete in goodness." This end cannot be obtained except through the exercise of highest virtues. Hence Jesus exhorts: "Love your enemies and pray for your persecutors." That is a call upward from the usual to the unusual; from the ordinary to the extraordinary; from the following after the devil to walking in the footsteps of the Gospels; from the following after the devil leads to eternal Walking after Jesus leads to everlasting peace and never-ending joys. Which will you do; men and women of my race? There is no disrupting the fact that, the Negro has cause for feelings of enmity against the American white man. But can he afford to let that cause produce the usual effect? Jesus says, "no." Common sense says the same. The person who hates incites the one hated to acts of vengeance which may affect the welfare of thousands through generations yet unborn. But it has a reaction, upon the one who hates which is many. It is the same science and makes impossible growth of soul. It dwarfs and petrifies the soul. Individual, conflicts, group uprisings and wars have their ground in hate thoughts. If men would quit hating one another, murders would cease and wars would be no more. That is why Jesus said, "Love your enemies and pray for your persecutors." The Negro's safety in this country depends upon his practicing the counsel of this text. If he encourages that he takes care of the white man, a conflict individually or in group, will be the inevitable result. That will enable some individual or group to kill a few white people and win plaudits from the less serious for having played the hero, but the race suffers. The Negro is too much handicapped to help the race by fighting. The better way is to love and pray. If you cannot love the white man, it is because you have not prayed for him. It is impossible to pray for a people and hate them. Pray for a people and hate them. Pray for hatred will banish in proportion as you pray. Yeah, emotions of love will manifest themselves in proportion as you mean your prayers. Since we cannot whip the white man into better treatment of us let us love him into it. Especially is this advisable since we grow stronger and better by the exercise. 4. It exhorts to that which proves Divine sonship. "So you may become true sons of your Father in Heaven, for He causes His sun to rise on the hill where winds rain upon those who do right and those who do wrong." It is more important that our lives prove sonship to God than our ability to get even with the white man. We are not God's sons until we reflect Him in our lives. He gives the sunshine and rain in the same degree to the wicked who delight in His displeasure as He does to the god who are striving for our relation as "true sons of our Father in Heaven," must love everybody, even the enemy. Love will bridge the chasm of race prejudice and usher in an era of peace and good will. PUPILS DEMONSTRATE AT JOHN T. WEST Three or four hundred persons accepted the League's invitation to attend its final meeting and witness demonstrations by pupils in the school auditorium Friday night. A group of first grade pupils under direction of Miss A. V.

I would advise all who read this to take out a policy in the Union. I have been paid to this date seventy-five weeks and I know that the Union will pay me until I get well or die. Thanking you for your kind attention, Yours respectfully, JACOB FELTON. 963 Cambridge Street, Norfolk, Va. We also write the best forms of Life Insurance. Get a Policy with us at Once.
