NO. 36 MARC $25,000 FIXED AS AMOUNT TO HOLD PRISONER Upon Recommendation of Col. William Hayward, United States District Attorney, Garvey Is Admitted to Bail. GUILT OR INNOCENCE NOT CONSIDERED New York, N. Y., Sept. 1—Up on the recommendation of Colonel William Hayward, United States attorney for the southern district of New York, Marcus Garvey, president general, New York National Guard Association, which granted bail. The amount was fixed at $25,000. Marcus Garvey was convicted on June 18, 1923, for using the mails to defraud in connection with the sale of stock in the Black Star steamship line, a subsidiary organization of the National Investment Association. He sued out and was allowed a writ of error. The trial judge, however, denied him bail pending the appeal. At different times two judges of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals denied his petitions for bail. He was incarcerated in the Tombs prison since his conviction. At the first the Government was opposed to the release of Marcus Garvey on bail, Maxwell S. Mattuck, the assistant United States attorney, represented to the court that in view of the numerous written threats made upon the lives of himself and Judge Mack, who presided over the trial, it would be dangerous for Garvey to be at large, and that he would not get his bond and never serve his sentence. It is thought that the views of Perry W. Howard, special assistant to the Attorney General, had much to do with changing the Gov't order to the guilt or innocence of Marcus Garvey, it is said that he took the view that the ends of justice would be more properly served by admitting Garvey to bail and made this representation to Attorney General Danghey, who contended that, with the consent of Colonel Hayward, Marcus Garvey has been given bail.

It is quite correct of organizing the Tuskegee Hospital upon a colored officers and staff to prove it is an institution for Negro service men. It is located adjacent to the great Negro University. These people have a right to prove their ability to be of service among them, but certainly such a program will be followed out if we find available the abundance of experienced professional people to inaugurate such a program. I would not, for anything in the world, do that which would suggest the rank of any racial unit. I am it; I understand what your telegram means to convey to me relating to that phase of the situation. Meanwhile, the survey is going on with very great care and no small degree of hopefulness of being a fine unguent and specific reason why should not it be done. I should be more than glad to consider them. Very tally yours, (signed) Gwenn G. Harding.

NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1923 Says Races Should Co- Operate In Better Housing Chicago's Commissioner of Public Welfare Urges Development of the Home Thru More Adequate Living Conditions. STANLEY REMOVED MEDICO ASSOCIATION FROM VET'S HOSPITAL EXPELS CROSSLAND Kansas City, Kans. Sept. 4, Chicago's Commissioner of Public Welfare, Mary E.

Commissioner McDowell said in part: "Qver crowding in homes, breeds immorality as well as sickness. Criminal germs are found in dark overcrowded rooms, where every natural function is performed in public. Privacy is necessary to the young if they are to keep their minds clean. We only need to be indifferent and simply neglect the human plant in its growing period to produce a tough or orangery fruit. We also very truly that the city tough is born but is manufactured by the tenement house, the street and the alley. "Because of abnormal conditions in many cities, we are compelled to consider the housing of the colored people as if it were an emergency health problem. Prejudice has made housing an emergency matter that has to be met by both (Special To The Journal and Guide) Washington, D. C., Sept. 4—Notwithstanding the regional of Colonel R. H. Stanley as commanding officer of the United States hospital for disabled colored ex-soldiers at Tuskegee, Alabama, and the notification of six colored tuberculosis experts of their selection for places at this hospital, there is dissatisfaction and determined opposition among Negrets because of the plan finally settled upon by Director Frank Hines of the hospital for the management of this hospital. This plan calls for the retention of three white men at the head of the hospital. They are the commanding officer, the executive officer and the clinician. If six Negro physicians can be found, who are willing to accept places there under this arrangement, they will relieve the present white tuberculosis exports on duty there. Later neuro-psychiatric specialists will be recruited to a group of colored neuro-psychiatric specialists. But it is very doubtful that any self-respecting Negro physician will accept employment there under this scheme. Stanley Transferred Colonel R. H. Stanley, has been hospital at Fort Bayard, New Mexico. He is succeeded by Dr. Griffin, a white man who has been the executive officer at this hospital. New York Race Man Gets Federal Job New York, Aug. 28—Paul W.

"Every child has certain inable rights, the right to be. born and reared in rooms that have sunshine, fresh air and space; the right to an education; the right to play and work under conditions that develop, not stunt, body and soul. The nation also has the right to be in every child of every complexion. Dark rooms are a menace to health and to morals in any house where a family is crowded into a few rooms. Germs of immorality are bred in darkness and in overcrowding quite as much as tuberculosis germs. "The rumor that Negroes depreciate property is only a half truth. Colored people have been compelled to enter neighborhoods after whites had begun to move out. Wabash Avenue in Chicago illustrates this point. The white people wanted to go to the North Shore, leaving and very good buildings, when then became the homes of colored people, but the depreciation began when the white people first became ambitious to join the Lake Shore society and moved from the neighborhood."

WILL PROTECT THE MEN AGAINST ANY VIOLENCE (By The Associated Negro Press) Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 3.—That the United States government is able to protect all of it employees and has the disposition to do so is the burden of a letter received by Mrs. Otto J.

General New's letter has won general satisfaction from both white and colored people, not only in this state, from which he hails, but from all over the country. The letter follows: "My dear Madam: Your letter of July 23, complaining that a colored man is serving as mail carrier on the route on which you happen to live in Indianapolis, has brought to my attention, I note your repeated complained threats directed against this man. I am further informed, as I have been on previous occasions, that you have repeatedly complained of the fact that your route was thus served, employing most inimitable language and 'threatening' all possible language and sequences to the carrier if the matter were ranged to your personal satisfaction. "I have to say that there are a number of colored carriers in the service of the Indianapolis post office, as there are in post offices all over the country. Those men have attained their positions in accordance with the requirements of law and the post office regulations. They are entitled to the office which faithful employees of the United States Government are entitled at all times and at all places, without regard to race, color, or political consideration. The Post Office Department could not, if it would, and would not, if it could, be so unjust to this man as to cause his removal as the consequence as is contained in the letter your signature which is now before me, and the Department would remind you that all the power this Government has at its command will be employed, to protect its employees against violence or wrong resulting from anybody's prejudices, from whatever cause arising, so long as those employees faithfully discharge the duties which have been assigned to them, which I am assured by the postmaster at Indianapolis the carrier in question does." Very respectfully yours. HARRY S. NEW, Postmaster General."

In his talks to the company'sills, he told them: "You must drop your Southern ways of doing your work. Foreign labor is being introduced on a large scale again and it will drive you back to the South if you do not mend your ways. You must work like you had some sense. Give a fair day's work for a fair day's pay. That's the thing to do."

Zeller, the President of the great Michigan State Automobile School in Detroit, Michigan, where most of the automobiles in the world are made, is making an effort to offer a special school in Detroit for negro students if there are enough who desire training as automobile mechanics.

Fort Worth, Tex., Sept. 4.—The pine organ recital by Prof. Hiram Simmons, of Portsmouth, Va., Friday night, August the 31st, was easily one of the grandest entertainments ever given in the history of Allen Chapel A. M. E. Church. Prof. Simmons proved to the delight of his great audience that he is a master of the organ, and twenty minutes he held his audience spellbound; and they generously applauded every peroration. The pastor and members of Allen Chapel Church and the city of Fort Worth, Texas, are singing his praises loud and long. Monday night, September 3, 75 trained voices of Allen Chapel M. E. Church, under the direction of Fort Worth, under the directorship of Mr. Simmons, rundered his famous oratorio, "The Story of Our Lord's Supper." Here Mr. Simmons displayed again his wonderful musical ability, although this is a song-play of many difficult parts, he trained 75 voices to sing it in one week. The director and the singers covered themselves in glory. "The Story of Our Lord's Supper," composed by Prof. Hiram Simmons and sung by the combined choirs of Allen Chapel A. M. E. Church and the city of Fort Worth was one of the most charming and musical scores ever witnessed here. The two pianists, the pipe organ, and the 75 voices blended so perfectly that the music sounded as if the whole earth was making music. COLUMBIA GUESTS AT HOTEL DALE Cape May, N.

THESTE LAWRENCE CLORK, J. M. H. Brown, d. c. The Vamp and the Virgin A Serial Story of Negro Life and Love THE HELIOTROPE DANCE A WEEK had passed and a miracle had happened. The society-hating Virgin, in full dress and top hat, stood side a Boston ballroom. Beatrix Marley had done it two days before; she had telephoned the Virgin that she must see him, and as he could not very well visit her home after his physical encounter with her father, she had begged him to come to the annual dance of the Heliotrope Club, of which she was secretary, and had mailed him an invitation. Almost starving for a sight of her, he had accepted the invitation. So here he was, in an anteroom, listening to a languorous waltz that floated out from the dancing floor.

RUTHERFORD, Secretary and General Manager At dinner he had listened to Will Reese, Nick Hartwell and Phil Worden discussing the Helicoptre affair and wondering who was going to escort whom, especially who was going to be Miss Marley's escort. Apparently none of them was destined for the honor. The Virgin wondered, too. It appeared that Beatrix had told her friends that she had a surprise for them, and they thought the surprise would be new young man. The Virgin had no idea of the boys about his invitation, and they were not even aware that he knew Beatrix Marley, it never occurred to them that he might be asked to the dance. He foresaw their surprise when he should appear at the hall. He wondered if he was the surprise that Beatrix had promised them. It was too bad that her father's anger prevented his going to Beatrix's house and escorting her. That would have made the thing a perfect drama, but, of course, perfection is not to be attained on earth. When the Virgin appeared at the entrance to the cloakroom the dance was in full swing and no one saw him. By the time he had finished his priming the music had stopped, and he showed himself at the door of the hall. There was an exclamation, and his college mates spontaneously drew together in the middle of the floor. "My, my!" said Phil Worden, "dost thou see it." "Indeed, I dost," said Nick Hart-well. Soon all the eyes in the little hall were fixed on the stranger at the door. It was then that Miss Beatrix Marley stepped from a circle rooftop and made her way offusively. She came and made the air "Oh, Chris!" she said loudly "I'll "Oh, Chris," she said aloud "I'm so glad you came!" "Chris!" exclaimed the fellows involuntarily.

Beatrix, rose-colored from head to foot, took the Virgin's arm and led him to the astonished, group of his college mates. They looked on as if they scarcely believe their eyes. "I promised you a surprise," she said. "Behold him." "Yes," said Joe Grimes, who had been as ignorant as the others of the Virgin's invitation. "We're being held in a right. 'Am I right in assuming that the next dance is ours, Beatrix?' asked the Virgin, while the other men looked on amazed at the familiarity. "Dance?" said Will Reese, "Does the Virgin dance?" The hall was beautiful that night. It was just large enough for thirty couples to dance comfortably, and the ceiling was high, which caused the room to look smaller than it really was. The walls were covered with wreaths and festoons and streamers, all of which were at the attic of the room as a balcony, adged with gilt, shone white against the prevailing purple, like an altar. In such a setting everything seems light and graceful, and even the most rotund young women gave one the illusion of airy slenderness, especially when their gowns are as insubstantial as the morning mist. Into this sanctum of Boston's best and tenderest Beatrix led the Virgin, leaning fondly on his arm, as if she were unaware of the glances of the other women and did what was being said behind their eyes, her head high, which did not keep her from turning her eyes fulllown on the Virgin every other second with a look that set his blood simmering. "Of course, the next dance is ours" she said, as she led him away from his astounded college mates. "You must forgive me if I make ss.

"Remember, I'm a coun- tryman, seeing metropolitan so- cies for the first time." "Oh, I think you'll be civilized enough. You'll be the big hit of the dance. Right now, out of the corners of my eyes, I can count six girls who are aching for an introduction." "But I don't wish to meet many people," said the Virgin. "They can't find anything interesting in me." "They can't. You know very little about girls; you unaffected innocence will have them all after you. I see your college mates circulating among them, so, by this time, they all know that you're the famous Virgin, the only personable young man who ever stayed a year in college without going near them. They know all about you; you've been unintentionally advertised for a year." As she spoke the low chord of a bass viol sounded through the hall, and with the rustle of many silk dresses the dancers sprang to their partners. The bass chord resounded, the violins began to sigh, a drum fluttered softly, and the piano struck in. "What is it?" asked the Virgin. "A waltz," said Beatrix, her eyes shining as she turned into his arms. It was indeed a waltz—one of the best ever written—Offenbach's waltz from "The Tales of Hoffman," in which the supposed Olympia dances Hoffman into vertigo. In a moment the Virgin and Beatrix were springing, winding and whirling through the dancers, many of whom cast quick sidewise glances at the new cavailer. Beatrix's eyes were shining into his, his arm was about her warm, supple, yielding waist, and she was looking at "Chris" she said, "you surprise me. How you can dance!" "Yes—with you." "No," she insisted, "with anyone; you were born for it." With a few long, high retarded notes, in which the dizzy Hoffman spins helplessly around by himself and falls exhausted upon a sofa, the waltz ended, and the assemblage, their faces flushing with delight, betook themselves to seats. "Look about you, Chris," said Beringin, and tell what lady you would like to meet." She might as well have offered vinegar to a man who had just been drinking champagne.

"Until then I hope you will be agreeable to my friends. I've told them all about you—what a gentleman you are and all that." "And yet," he said, "on my first visit to your home you told me I was not a gentleman." She leaned close to him and fixed him with her eyes. In a low, concentrated voice she said: "What did I tell you on your second visit?" His heart vaulted into his throat, his eyes blazed into hers as if he were about to take her into his arms before all Boston. His eyes fell. "Don't look at me like that—here," she whispered.

BIG CONCESSIONS AND FEATURES SECURED Suffolk, Va., Aug. 27.—The annual agricultural fair of the Tidewater Fair Association will be held October 16, 17, 18 and 19, on its pecious grounds, located on the Suffolk-Portsmouth state highway, about one-quarter of a mile from the city of Suffolk. Because of its location, access to the grounds is easy and travel is comfortable and enjoyable. From all points in Nansenmond and adjoining counties the roadbed is good. If not hard surfaced the roads are built of such material that gives perfect satisfaction in transportation at this season of the year, when the usual large gathering at the fair wends its way to the mecca of agricultural fairs operated by the colored people of the State of Virginia. In view of these natural advantages larger crowds are expected this year than before. All eyes are not being turned in the direction of Suffolk for the great gala event, and everyone is making arrangements to spend from one to four days at the greatest of colored fairs of Virginia, which is modestly styled the Colored State Fair. Work is now under way, making changes and necessary additions to the grounds and buildings to improve the general appearance, and to procure better accommodations for friends, patrons and the general public, who will visit the fair. It is the purpose of the officers to make this fair worth while, second to none in the state. Hence no effort is being reserved to create conditions that will meet the approval of the most pious and skeptic. The officers countenance that which is elevating and helpful from every point of view related to moral, educational, spiritual and physical education. Every attention to the contrary, when their attention is directed to it, or when it comes under their observation, that may detract from the purpose and policies of the Association, is specially suppressed and eliminated. The exhibits in general combined with those of the boys' clubs from several counties of the state, will be better this year than at any time during our past history as promoters of an agricultural fair, these excursions and the certain those who will visit the exhibit buildings, but being prepared by men and women who know how, and who are actually engaged in the various phases of production as deers and teachers, they will serve as educational hints and helps in increasing personal knowledge in the production of the many products of the soil, animal husbandry, canning, art and needle work, etc. The catalogues with premium list, have come from the press and are ready for distribution. Those who are interested to become acquainted with the list of exhibits, and who desire to exhibit any artworks in this catalogue may secure a copy by writing to the Secretary-Manager, who will gladly forward one. WILLIAMSTON Race Woman Named On Education Board Charleston, W. Vn., Aug. 28—Mrs. Irene Moats, of Clarksville, a graduate of Ohio State University and a prominent colored teacher in this State, has been appointed Governor E. F.

Severely Injured In Cutting Fray Smithfield, N. C. Sept. 4.—John Hunter, an employee of the Edmondson Redrying Tobacco Plant, stabbed an associate "employee, Fred Horton, with a knife last week because, it is alleged, Horton ran a tobacco stick truck against him. Horton is at his home suffering a stab wound in his side, while Horton evaded arrest. The fight took place in the hanging room of the plant. The injured man was rushed to the office of Dr. Thelhook, who took several stitches in his side to close up the wound: "According to best reports on the fracas, Horton was pushing a truck containing the sticks and passed close enough to Hunter, who was unloading tobacco to strike him with the truck. Heated the truck and uncovered the incident, which resulted in the cutting. Officers have been searching for Hunter since the affair but have not located him. It is said that he has recently finished serving time on the road and bears a bad reputation. ELIZABETH CITY ROPER DENBEIGH Denebeligh, Va.-Colossian: Baptist-Sunday school was well attended Sunday.

In addition to having been loyal and conscientious to the performance of his Christian duties as pastor, he has displayed more than ordinary executive ability and initiative. Be it resolved, that we highly recommend him wherever he may go as being well qualified and worthy of the position he is called to fill. He takes with him the prayers and good wishes of the *pentire church for his success in the new field which he is placed.* At this very crucial hour when we are without a pastor, we humbly besech the guidance of Our Heavenly Father that He may direct us in getting another such a pastor as Dr. Sills has been.

The theaters of this community are catering to the class of picture-creators are enjoyable, educational, uplifting, and entertaining; the caterer to the better class of pictures as far as that is possible, because they find that it pays both in box office receipts, and steady attendance. The oftener they have high class features, thrilling top notch serials and side-splitting comedies, the oftener the patron who attends comes back. He is not disappointed in his expectations, and returns. Consequently the reason the managers keep good productions. The moving picture is being recognized as a wonderful means of educating the public. It can impress the mind some time stronger than the newspaper or the schoolroom. In it there are chances for as much evil as good, and especiality as the true in regard to the young. The movies' purpose is the young have a greater impression upon them than is generally thought, and the movies which are presented to the young should be selected with this in mind. Colored parents should want their children to gain what education they can through the "movies." Its field is broader than any other we know of, except perhaps the newspaper, but at the same time Colored parents should insists that the programs are clean to be seen by their children. It is to deny children the benefits of amusement; neither should they be denounced for wanting them. But we do not believe that the theaters in this city that cater to our race give anything but the best possible. This is attested in the steady attendance the theaters enjoy. A glance at the advertisements of the various theaters in the Journal and Guide will furnish an insight into the kind of programs presented.* Plenty of spice, variety, fun, laughter, thrills, and heart-stirring photo-dramas. The theaters cater to such producers as Merton, First National, Paramount, Fox, Vitagram, Ince, and occasionally a picture Race producers, and many other known producers. Keith's variable will be moved from the Academy to the completely renovated Colonial theater and patrons who visit the playhouse will see one of the most artistically decorated theaters in the South. Some Sidelights On Our Athletes The cool tang of the few sample days that Autumn sent along recently brought into action again the "awful" temptation to talk football. St. Paul and Hampton will be among the most closely watched teams this year. St. Paul is making the greatest bid for the championship it has ever made. Hampton will be watched because of its wonderful performance and good prospectives last season. Howard and Lincoln will fight it out in Quincy City. Union is expected to have a strong team on the field. The fight fans at large are busy figuring it all out. "Firpo" one writes, "has never beaten a good heavyweight. But neither has Dempsey, Morris, Fulton, Willard, Miske, Brennan, Carpenter (gone far back at the time), and Gibbons badly beaten by Greb. Firpo, in the main has fought setups, but so has Dempsey, in the main—at least, they were only ordinary second-raters. Why, right after Brennan stayed in the gym, he couldn't even enjoy Bob Martin, who was certainly no star in any way. Wills is the toughest contender left, but next to Wills, Firpo will be much more dangerous than Willard, Brennan, Carpenter, etc." So thinks Grantland Rice, a famous white writer. The old-timers point out that the present scheme of bandaging the hands is a bad thing, for boxers. Constant punching makes the hands expand, and this is impossible, with the tight bandages. There are more broken hands among present day boxers than among the old-timers. The oldtimers used to harden the skin by soaking them in brine. To refute the claims of the old-timers, it is pointed out that boxing has advanced in every way. It is more intensive than it used to be, and the game has more speed than ever before. There is little occasion now for long-drawn out fights. The modern fan will not tolerate a stalling match and killle, a triumphal clutching and trailing, a training in to fight the boxers for speed rather than endurance. Legalizing the game with decision bouts, has done away with the limited-round bouts through which the boxers used to dance their way harmlessly. Great Collegiate Sport Near at Hand Teams Soon To Prepare For the Season, and Fast Field Work To Be Featured. Fall is knocking at the door and as a result football is now attempting to rush baseball into oblivion and to receive all the spotlight in the field of athletics. The great college sport is near at hand. Teams all over the country are to be in readiness for the season soon to be ushered in. Most of the teams in the air are around the 6th of October. All in all the season is expected to be a humdinger. Soon the crisp afternoons will be made delightful by the sound of the quarterbacks staccato-like animals, the impact of the leather oval against jersey as a fierce tacque against the pikin, the attack against the pikin, the bird-like flight of the long spirals, the tenseness of a race between an end and a long forward pass, the shrill of the refreshes whistle—all familiar in high school, the chalked arena of the greatest of all football sports." Football is one sport that really belongs to the colleges, universities, and high schools of the country. Pleasant summer is now, ending with its lazy days and soon the boys will romp back to the campus ways. In the college gardens the football will be booted, and scrimmages will take place. Candidates that they will win a covetel position on the varsity. There have been few changes made in the football rules this year. The onside kick has been tabooed. Hampton, Howard, Lincoln, St. Paul, V. N. I. L., Union, all of the C. I. A. A. teams will start practicing the latter part of September. Some of the institutions have already formed the football call for practice. The Thanksgiving Classes between Howard and Lincoln, Hampton and Union will be staged in Philadelphia and Richmond respectively. WHEN RUSSIA Mob Scenes Graphically. Pictured in "The Face in the Fog." In the prologue to "The Face in the Fog," Jack Boyle's famous "Boston Blackie" story pictured by Cosmopolitan Productione for Paramount, with Lionel Barrymore in the leading role, there is a graphic glimpse of what happened when Russia "went Red." A magnificent palace of the last of the Grand Dukes is wrecked by a Soviet mob, led by the brutal Petrus. Massive wrought-iron candelabra, six feet tall and bearing a dozen carefully designed, are used as battering rams to break the oak doors; beautiful statues and objects of art are smashed, furniture wrecked and cabinets rifled—all in frantic search for the famous Romanoff diamonds. But Grund Duchess Tatiana, played by Seena Owen, and a faithful servant smuggle them to this country, where the redoubtable "Blackie Dawson," portrayed by Lionel Barrymore, takes a hard hand in foiling the Soviet emissary and smashing out the course of true love. "The Face in the Fog," will be the feature at the Star theatre next Tuesday. It is well worth seeing. "The Face in the Fog" Coming "The Face in the Fog," a massive Cosmopolitan production for Paramount, is coming to the Star theatre next Tuesday. Lionel Barrmore, Seena Owen and Lowell Sherman, head a fine cast. The story deals with the efforts of a band of Russian crooks to steal the Romanoff diamonds and graphically shows how they were outwitted by "Boston. Blackie" Davson, reformed American crook.

Fifty players will be in the squad, and, according to Coach Douglas, that number will be cut down at the end of the second week. St. Pauls Coach starts off with a better outlook this year than he has had in some time. There are twenty-two veterans, as veterans go, on its roster. Some of them have had but one year's drilling in in the big show, while others have had two and three. With the probable exception of Maddux, the veritable touchdown on Union last fall, and "Judge" Vaughan, the big formidable guard, who ripped Lincoln's line to pieces, the 1922 varsity machine will return. In the backfield Coach Douglas has Captain Parker, a plunging line bucker with great endurance, Walker, a seasoned quarterback of mature training and football intuition; Lawyer Williams All-American quarterback and a seasoned quarterback, Spoody 90; Collin an experienced and treacherous halfback, and "Shorty" Everley, the chusive halfback. On the ends he is depending on Junius Williams and ess Byrd. "Tom" Burrell will handle the destinies of center while the guard positions will fall to "Mighty" Blackwell and All-America, will hold the powerful, poignant, will doublebleb be assigned to left tackle, and "Quiet" Spady will develop valuable substitutes from an unreconcended flock of second string men. St. Paul's Football Mentor fairly radiates with enthusiasm. He is getting in shap by playing tennis and baseball, and without making any prediction believes that the Orange and Black will have a good campaign. The season open on October 6th with Va. Seminary at Lawrenceville. Seeks To Block The Firpo-Dempsy Fight Secures Order From Brooklyn · Supreme Court Directing Rickard to Show Why Order Shouldn't Be Issued. New York, Sept. 3—Paddy Mullins, manager for Harley Wills, have right to bring championship aspirant obtained an order in Brooklyn supreme court today directing Tex Rickard to show cause why a writ should not be issued restraining the conduct of the Dempsey-Firpo fight September 14. In his argument for the order Mullins said that if the fight between Dempsey and Firpo takes place as scheduled will be allowed, the rule is New York State Athletic Commission, because of Dempsey's failure to meet him.* He said Wills was the logical opponent of Dempsey because he had $2,500 forfit money posted for more than a year.

Hotel Bellman On Trial In Atlantic City Atlantic City, N. J., Aug. 30—(K.N. F. Service)—Kernit Campbell, a bellman in the Norton Hotel, is on trial here on a charge of stealing $1,081 in traveler's checks and currency from the hotel safe. He was arrested at the hotel. According to the police, Campbell had $609 in his pockets when arrested. Speaking at Atlantic City, Congressman L. C. Dyer, of Missouri, author of the Dyer Bill, sponsored by 4,000 colored citizens had been lynched in the South in thirty-five years. Thinks Dempsey Wills Fight Will Bring Customers New York, Aug.-Granting that his alleged plans may be nothing more than a laudable desire to publicize for a race track that frankly makes capital of a great national thirst, the proposal of Jim Cofforth to match Jack Dempsey and Harry Wills at Tia Jana during the winter season is not without downright practicability. A Dempsey Wills bouts, all hooky/side, would draw like an open cut. If it were held on the Isle of Yap. At Tia Jana the enterprise might easily become a gold mine. The popular, impression, is entertained locally that all big fights must be held within a trolley car ride of Times Square. The belief is entirely without fact of foundation. Within an hour's ride of Tia Juana is the city of Los Angeles, numbering about 800,000 souls. Then too, there is San Francisco, Oakland, Saraceno, Portland and other centers of activity to draw near. Our coast is hugely firing fist, and we could travel on hands and knees to a championship fight. California and environs, once the last word in all affairs of the fist hasn't seen a title bout these many years. It would have seen more than a fair representation up to Shelby if the latter could have persuaded a doubting public that all was well at least seventy-two hours before the Dempsey-Gibbons bout. As it was, California had to be content with blocking all traffic from its of newspaper bulletin boards in its haste to get the returns. A heavyweight championship bout promoted by a native son just across the line would be in no danger what ever of back-firing financially. Sectional pride is too keen in California to permit such a cannonball; they have implicit faith in Coffin's fight the fight was on, it would be on a rivet as far as they were concerned. Blues Singer Is Making Big Hit Ida Cox Has Played To Full Theatres Everywhere For a Number of Years. For years the public has applauded and praised the singing of Ida Cox. She has played to full theatres everywhere, billed as "The Blues Singer with a Feeling." Music lovers will be interested to know that Ida Cox, with her Blues Serenaders, have made a big hit in the phonograph record world as they have on the stage. The New York Recording Laboratories have signed up Miss Ida and her Serenaders to sing and exclusively for Paramount Records. Advertised as the "Unowned Queen of the Blues" Miss Cox is making all the other famous race stars look to their laurels. Her stuff is making a big hit. Accuse Negro Deputy in the Suppression of American Film New York, Aug. 30—(K. N. F. Service).—Little credence is placed in the attempt of the Ere Neuville, a Parisian newspaper, to cast reflection upon Deputy Candace of the French Republic, for his activity in the suppression of the Griffith film, "The Birth of a Nation," in Paris, after it had passed the censors there. The Ere Neuville announced under the headline, "Scandal," the discovery that Deputy Candance happens to be a director of a motion picture company and that he had an ulterior motive in suppressing the Dixon play. The film seems to have been suppressed in France for the same reason that it was suppressed in many places in the United States; because its presentation has a tendency to stir up racial strife. Bertram Hodges, fifteen yrs old, recently arrived, with his parents, migrating from Georgia, received a prize from a Philadelphia daily paper for the brightest answer to a want-ad query.

Washington, D. C., Sept. 4.—From Saturday afternoon entertainments while students at Fisk University, Nashville, Tenn., to Broadway stars is the achievement of Flournoy E. Miller and Aubrey Lyle. It was a Saturday night when I sauntered into their dressing room at the Howard theatre to learn of the real Miller and Lyle—not the characters in the "world of make believe." They were making up for their final performance of their Washington engagement. Flournoy Miller and Aubrey Lyle were college pals at Fisk University. The science department was badly in need of funds. This gave them their opportunity. They over themselves and slowly wend their way to fame and fortune. They began by giving entertainments for the benefit of the science department. In 1903 they began their professional career about the old Pekin theatre in Chicago. They then spent fifteen years on the Keith circuit. During this time they obtained leave of absence from the Keith vaudeville people and spent two years in the British Isles. They appeared with a musical comedy in West End, London—the Broadway of England. They also toured England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. They left the Keith circuit finally to form the Shuffle Along Company, which enjoyed the long run of any colored show. Broadway's new art for the Negro a t o r George White, producer of the famous "Scandals," was quick to see the possibilities in a colored musical comedy and he is now featuring them in a $200,000 production—"Running Wild." They closed their Washington engagement on their Saturday night. They opened at the Selwyn theatre in Boston, Mass., on Labor Day night. After a four week's engagement in Boston, they go to Broadway. The music for "Running Wild" was especially written by Cecil McMee, Jimmy Johnson, the orchestrist of theimy theatre is under the direction of Will Marion Cook. The book is by Miller and Lyle. Sarah Martin, OKch Record star is at the Gayette theatre with Jack Reid's "Record Breakers." "Liza" will open a two week's engagement at the Howard theatre beginning on September 9. The principal stars are Greenelee and Drayton, Irwin C. Miller, Emmett Anthony and Gertrude Saunders. Old Dominion Line ALL WATER ROUTE "Passenger and Freight Service" ..Streamers sail 7:30 P.M.

A reason- able question is, why those people, did- not buy an option in the property before they offered it for sale in subdivision? , Not to have done so looks ‘much like funny business, to say the Jeast.

Maher of the Norfolk and Western Rail way, concludes that the -“tesuitant. figures demonstrate beyond a. doubt that this law: is ‘saving life and limb and property and that the full enforcement of it in all sections would still further decrease these accidents, due in almost all instances to lack of care by. the user of the public highway.”. “An analysis of these figures,” states Mr. Maher, “shows that while the number of auto- mobiles in Virginia increased’ matgrially, ,the number of accidents‘ decreased; also that West Virginia, with less than half as many trains as Virginia, running over half as many erossings, had increased accidents, and a larger number of deaths and injuries; and Ohio, with less than one-third the number of trains, running over one-third less crossings, had more aeci- dents, more deaths and thore injuries.” * Commenting on. the grade crossing situa- tion in this country, Mr. Maher adds: “Of:course, the ideal solution of the erdss- ing mehace is broken crossings, and wherever possible, in conjunction with the local author- ities, we are endeavoring to eliminate grade ‘crossings, but the impossibility of!doing it at once is apparent. Sometime ago a committee from the various state corporation commis- sions made an investigation of the matter, and reported that it would cost as much to'raise and depress the existing grade crossings in this country as the present total investment in railroads, “Until we can reach such a state of development as to have no grade crossings, the only safe way to go over a. railroad track at grade is to STOP, LOOK and LISTEN. “There have been in the public: press com- plaints by motorists and others that this law | is’ not effective and that it is burdensome to them. On the other hand, the law has been favoyably commented on in many’ states, and has. Begn adopted in principle in some.” The good effects of it are apparent, and I beg per- mission to urge upon you the importance of advocating a proper enforcement of it, to the end that grade crossing accents may be mote nearly climinated; and that ‘passengers and employees of the Yailroads upon their trains may not be subjected to the risk of accident and injury or even death, as has occurred in|: many instances in this country, and in two in-|| stances on our own’ line, by reason of trains | trikig automobiles at grade crossings, result- ing in the derailment of the train.” Even tho the impossibility of striet.enforce-| nont of the Grade Crossing Vehigle Stop “Law |! s obvious, so long’as there are reckless motor- 1 sts, who disregard all- road laws, common-| ense and personal safety; and the policing of | ¢ ach grade crossing is impracticable, the in-|' ormatién gleaned from President Maher's re-| ort—assuming, of course, that motorists in |° irginia are not innately more careful than | 4 jotorists in West Virginia and Ohio—indi-|¢ ates that this law has had'a salutary effect | * pon grate crossing fatalities in this state. ~ Its observance may cause sliglit inconven-| # nce and anpoyanée to a few motorists—the | ame as the observance of all laws inconven-|# nee and annoy some people who find it more litable to-their pleasures to disregard them | P ‘but we are not persuaded to believe that the |” noyance complained of is great enough to] ® set the benefits derived by the public from q rict obegierice to the law.

By the nature of-the controversy Dr. Moton has pursued the discrect course of not having much to say about the matter, and this diplo- matie reticence has been taken advantage of by certain editors of ours to make it appear that Dr. Moton was hedging or siding with those who insist that the personnel of the hos- ‘pital shall be white persons, In his statement at Hot Springs Dr. Moton says positively that ‘he has advocated that the personnel of hospital shall be of our own physicians and surgeons and nurses, and has, done so from the beginning and will do so to the end. He says: “I stand on that’ position today, and there is no man living ‘who’ can make me change it, and there is no foree on earth or in heaven tliat will make me surren- der it.” He has acted all along, he says, upon two motives, that the Negroes have the right above all others-to serve their qwn ‘and the necessity of preserving the ‘good xelitions of the races, at Tuskegee which Dr. Washington made it a supreme object to create dhd keep live. a We think Dr. Moton -has established his position of honest contention that the person- ie] of the hospital should be of our raée group, ind all hope that the final settlement of the juestion by the Washington authorities will rive us the management’ in all of the depart- nents of the hospital.
