President's Fails to Afro SARAH MITCHELL NOT GUILTY OF MURDER Self Defense Plea Wins Freedom For Woman Charged With the Killing of Shorts. Sarah Mitchell, on trial before a jury in Corporation Court Wednesday morning for murder in connection with the killing of Sam Shorts on Hull street late in October, won her freedom. The woman pleaded self-defense. She was represented by attorneys J. M. Harrison and J. Eugene Diggs. Scars on her chest and garments said to belong to her, bearing knife slashes, were exhibited by the defense to substantiate testimony to the effect that the man was stabbed to death while endearing to kill the defendant. Sara claimed that an argument between her and Sam Shorts was precipitated when she refused to resist in dancing with a man whom he objected to her dancing with. The argument lead to a fight, she alleged, in which Sam drew his knife and tried to stab her. She too drew a knife and a cutting knife enugued. She made several gestures as she said, each stroke of the knife cutting her clothes. In the meantime she was cutting at him. The blade of the knife in her hands found its mark in Sam's heart and inflicted a fatal wound. The couple separated and Sam Shorts walked a couple of blocks and fell dead. The jury deliberated a few minutes and returned a verdict of not guilty. Young Woman Passes Pharmacy Board Edenton, N. C.—Miss B. Siele B.

WALTER SMITH Late, reports from the Norfolk Home Building and Loan Association campaign show Mr. Walter Smith, of Hunter street, one of the leaders to be leading, reporting the soliciting of 100 shares in 24 working hours. Mr. Smith avows that his motto is: If one prospect fails him, he'll find another. There are thirty solicitors in the campaign covering Norfolk and Portsmouth and Mr. Smith declared that he expects to outstrip all of them and win the prize of $100,000. The campaign committee, Messrs. Walter Smith, M. R. Jackson and C. C.

PARAGRAPH ON RACE NOTED FOR MANY OMISSIONS Executive Fails to Take Decided Stand For Enforcement of Fourteenth Amendment in First Message. COLORED POLITICIANS HAVE LITTLE TO BOOST (By A. N. P.) Chicago, Ill.—Leaders of Negro thought who have been communicated with since the reading of the presidential message in the early part of the week are frankly puzzled by that part of the message which referred to the Negro. Here is now, more pronounced than ever, the feeling that something, something more advanced than was suggested by Mr. Coolidge has not to be done with the so-called problem. There is a disposition on the part of many to give Mr. Coolidge credit for the courage to say the same things that other presidents have said without considerable effort to suggest anything new. It is significant that, placed as the paragraphs on the Negro are in the message, following those on prohibition and the necessity of law enforcement, there is nothing said about stricter enforcement of the laws relative to the treatment to be accorded the Negro is the same as that of the Negro is the same as that of America's citizenry. He should be treated all right. The crimeof lynching is bad. We ought to do something, probably create a commission to study all the forms of mistreatment to which these 12,000,000 are subjected. Of course much in the improvement of race relations will depend upon conditions and the improvement of understanding. Dr. Moton has just told us that two races understand each other cannot hate each other. So we think there had better be this commission, some kind of a commission to study the matter." Asks Help For Howard That's the way it has gone along the while. Mr. Coolidge adds the other note of doing something for Howard University's medical school subject in which he races the race in on-page, but which is based on Page, Six). YOUNG WIFE ATTEMPTS SUICIDE Spaulding Issues Plain Statement To Tariff Head Colored Citizens Bluntly Affronted After Responding To Invitation To Cooperate For The Good of The South. AID SPURNED WHEN IDENTITY IS KNOWN Special to the Journal and Globe Durham, N. C.—A statement issued here this week by Mr. C. C. Spaulding, president of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company and president of the Mechanics and Farmers Bank, relative to the invitation extended to him by the Southern Tariff Association to serve as a member of a committee called to meet at Chattanooga, Tenn., to discuss the tariff situation as it affects the South, and the subsequent withdrawal of this invitation upon learning that Mr. Spaulding is a Negro, has thrown considerable light on the circumstances involved, and further elevates Mr. Spaulding in the estimation of his fellow citizens of this community. Recently C. C. Spaulding and another citizen of Raleigh received a telegram from the Southern Tariff Association which, after calling attention to the menace to southern industries involved in the appeals of "powerful, organized, selfish interests antagonistic to white business," States tariff commission for a reduction of the tariff on certain products peculiar to this section, invited him to meet in a conference with southern producing interests at Chattanooga, Tenn., December 7-8 to lend moral and financial support to a movement looking to establish a network of southern interests. This invitation Mr. Spaulding accepted upon the condition that the meeting was for the purpose expressly stated in the invitation. A few days later he received another telegram informing him that he had been selected as a member of the reception committee to meet the W. Kellogg fellowship war finance company, who was to be in attendance upon the meeting. This invitation Mr. Spaulding declined for the reason as stated in his own words, "I surmised that the reception committee's work savored a social tinge." Apparently the secretary of the tariff association J. A. Arnold, of Washington, D. C., learned that the Raleigh citizen invited are colored persons, and immediately withdrew his action concerning these men. The entire matter has been the subject of much comment in this section and the statement of Mr. Spaulding which is printed below brings to light the salient facts. He prefaces the withfice of the assertion, the southern tariff association has sought to indict me for the grievous offense of not advising it I am a Negro—just that and nothing more." Telegram To Mr. Spaulding On November 20, 1923 the following telegram was received by Mr. Spaulding: "Deflation of values of southern products certain if United States tariff commission yields to appeals of powerful, selfish, organized interests antagonistic to south who are seeking reduction tariff schedule on vegetable oils, involving cotton, seed, peanut, dairy and other southern products by invoking flexible provision of present tariff law and who are bringing strong pressure to bear on the new conquest; materially destructive destroy southern raw material tariff schedule. Such action will adversely effect every bank security and bring disaster to south. We must prevent this discrimination against us. If your producers are permitted to remove, present debt burden conditions must remain stable and free from tariff charges and inequalities. As president of the southern tariff association, I have issued a call for a conference of southern producing interests Chattanooga.org. We are preparing an appeal to bank-industrial, mercantile and industries of south to lend moral support and give financial assistance to the worthy movement and in order to make, committee thoroughly representative and high- NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1923 M. S. S. l influential we desire to add your name to list of other outstanding citizens of your state. Active service on your part not necessary as experienced organizers will handle details. We must have your prestige and influence in preventing this national calamity and urge you grant permission for the use of your name." In the revelations of this telegram, Mr. Spaulding perceived a menace to the South, a section in which the interest with which he is affiliated have more than three million dollars invested. He envisioned a more than seven million members of his race who obtain their subsistence from the soil of the South, and indeed, if there was any support that he could lend to prevent economic stagnation of this section he was ready and willing to serve. Spaulding's Reply The following reply was wired to the association: "Use my name if your program is based on your telegram of November twentieth." "And why should I not answer thus. Mr. Spaulding remarked. Institutions with which I am connected have over three millions of dollars in university securities while as well as colored. If the fair value of these securities is threatened and an opportunity comes to help prevent such condition, I want to seize that opportunity every time and I have no apology to make for such an attitude. Mr. Spaulding states that this is not the first time that invitations have been extended to the business he represents. The North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company of which he is the head, is the largest Negro Life Insurance Company in the world. The Bankers' Fire Insurance Company, the Mechanics and Farmers' Bind and other interests with which he has members of the national national association.

PORO COLLEGE HEADS RETURNED HOME Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Malone Receive Royal Welcome After Concluring Tour. St. Louis, Mo., Dec. 14—Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Malone, heads of Poro College returned home last week and were given a royal reception by the employees of the famous Poro College. They were in fine health and full of enthusiasm over observations on their western trip, and especially program made by Kindly welcome was extended by the friends and employees of Poro College. A source of joy came to Mr. and Mrs. Malone when they were ushered into the assembly hall and a splendid program was rendered by the Choral Society and Orchestra. The splendid work done by the Orchestra under the direction of Mr. Harris was high pleasing to the Manus, and the heads of Poro College see great possibilities for this musical organization. Among the guests during their homecoming were Banker and Mrs. Jessie Binga, Chicago, Ill. This was the first visit of Mr. Ill. Mrs. Binga to Poro College and they were slated over the wonderful progress made by Mr. and Mrs. Malone in cooperation by all of their employees.

Lewis, Jr., of Chicago, Ill., were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Malone and spent one week enjoying their courtesy and hospitality. The Lewis, however, were present at the dedication of the new building, the annex and the well-lit of the beautiful mansion in the lobby. Mr. and Mrs. Malone arrived in the city just in time to take part in the Community Chest Fund drive. PUBLIC URGED TO BUY XMAS SEALS Purchase of Stickers Will Aid in the Fight Against Dreaded Disease of Tuberculosis. The colored citizens of Norfolk are requested to buy Christmas seals for the purpose of waging battle against the dreaded disease of tuberculosis. In the recent Community Chest Fund drive, the centers in charge of the allowance for an amount of $2,000.00 to be raised through the purchase of the seals would provide for free clinics, sanatorium treatment for the needy patients, and for the support of public health nurses in the fight against consumption. Not less than $500.00 will be expected to be raised by the colored people of the city as their part in the contribution toward the coming year's work. A splendid record was made last year by the Virginia Tuberculosis Association. The event be slackened if next year's work is urged to buy the stickers and place them on the letters and packages sent to friends and acquaintances in order to assist in the matter of raising tuberculosis fund when most such assistance—arouse an indeficient and help advance the kind of education necessary successfully to combat the scourge.

One person upon whom the handling of the details in connection with the recent Community Chest Fund campaign among the colored section rested with particular exactness was Mr. George A. Webb executive secretary of the Community Center, and who was secretary of the colored campaign committee. It was Mr. Webb's duty to route and apportion the workers, receive their reports, pass on to them instructions received from the general committee, and otherwise work to instill a spirit of harmony among the several groups. How well he performed this duty is reflected in the success of the campaign. Alto executive secretary of the Community Center and having a plenty of duties in connection with this position, he divided his time (Continued on Page Six) Republican Restores Repres OBSTRUCTING MAPP ACT CASE DISMISSED A Person Cannot Obstruct The Mapp Act Without Knowledge of Search Warrant. Police Justice Spindle rendered a decision in his court upon the argument of Attorney J. Eugene Diggs, Monday morning that police officers bent on searching private or public premises for unlawful possessed whiskey might well to bear in mind. Zelle Edlow and his wife, 801 Highland avenue, were arrested by the police who, after a search of their home, charged the couple with disorderly conduct and obstructing the Mapp act. No whiskey was found on the premises, but the officers allogued that the abuse and obstructive tactics directed at them by Edlow and his wife during the search amounted to disorderly conduct and a violation of section 23½ of the Mapp act which required the police to pretend to attempt to obstruct an officer from acting under the provisions of the act relative to search and seizure. Upon cross examination of the officers by Attorney Diggs it developed that the policemen failed to inform the inmates of the house that they possessed a search warrant. Just as soon as the truth of this evidence had been well established, Justice Spindle stated that it was impossible for Eldow and his wife to be guilt of obstructing the Mapp act, when they had not been informed by the raiding policemen that they possessed a search warrant. In other words, the decision means that it is not possible for any person to obstruct the Mapp act, when that person has not been definitely in STREET BAPT. CHURCH Rev. F. W.

Wharton Pepper, of Pennsylvania; Lincoln Johnson Leads Discussion. THREE SENATORS VOTE AGAINST THE RESOLUTION. Washington, D. C., Dec. 12. The subcommittee of the Republican National Committee in session here today voted after two days consideration to adopt the resolution restoring southern representation in Republican National Conventions which practically amounts to rescinding its former action in reducing this representation to: One district delegate from each congressional district maintain therein a Republican district organization and casting 2,500 votes or more for any republican candidate in presiding presidential election or for the Republican nominee for Congress in the last preceding congressional election. The action of the subcommittee in reducing southern representation brought a storm of protest from Negro politicians and was viewed with considerable concern by the entire Afro-American group, as the working out of it would have further eliminated the Negro from Republican politics. The provision basing the election of delegates to the National Convention on votes cast in the last-presidential election would have automatically barred Negro politicians from emiggrity to sit in the Senate, are almost wholly colored in southern states, for the obvious fact that the operation of southern disfranchisement laws acts to hold the Republican vote, which is large; Negro below the 2,500 requirement in practically all southern districts. Negro political leaders thronged the committee room. The resolution for restoring the representation was introduced by Senator Pepper, of Pennsylvania. Discussion in favor of adoption was led by Henry Lincoln Johnson, Dr. George Cannon, of Newark, M'3.

E. Church Tuesday night by Bishop Plummer's chorus of Belleville Industrial School, Belleville, Va. Preceding the program, Rev. J. A. Young, pastor of St. John's the secretary of the bishop's secretary, who is his son. The secretary spoke of the work that is being done at the institution for the race. Bishop Plummer is the founder of Belleville School and its president. He said the idea of the institution sprang from the church members deciding to get-to-gether purchase a tract of land and build a school for the orphans and widows of the church, also to help those, who were not able to help themselves. The speaker said this school has saved a many boy from the reform school and one of its main objects is to help make the coming education a producing one, and with this in view, great stress is laid upon agriculture in the school's curriculum. The mixed chorus under Bishop Plummer is one of the best that has been heard in this section recently. Harmony and melody, they have a plenty of, and a singular thing about their program is that they sing unaccompanied by music of any kind. Elder Plummer, the Bishop's son, acted as master of ceremonies. WHERE IT'S FOUND The long skirt is on the wane in Paris. It is chiefly on the bow-legged in America, adds John Lewis meanly.

W.RUSSELL IN THE THEATRES What Fools Men Are Begins Attucks Bill "What Fools Men Are," a picture adapted from Eugene Walter's play, the "Flapper" directed by George Hewillering, will be shown at the Attucks Theatre next week, Monday and Tuesday. The screen of this screen thriller is laid in New York City, where the exploits of the flapper heroine can be seen in all their devilty. The big photoplay will be followed Wednesday and Thursday by Carl Lemke's big special "The Six-Fifty." The gay white lights and a new over, suave, cultured, insistent Will were the perils for Hester Taylor. Lack of ambition, this was her husband's menace. They separated; and then—the story is told in terms of human hearts. "Good Men and Bad"—the picture which fills the bill at the Attacks Friday and Saturday at the Guggenheim Museum, depicting Western life. It is a new melodramatic picture with a cast including Marian Sais, Merrill McCormick, Steve Carrie, Faith Hope and many others. Pictures of Western life have always been attacked because they have demanded that American characters be very wild and wooy. In this one, audiences will see how attractive a typical western cowboy is to a Spanish senorita, or rather to a senorita of the Argentine action transpires in that obvious setting. In "Good Men and Bad" Felicia, the heroine meets Steve Carrie, a cowboy, buying cattle in Argentina for an American syndicate. She is the daughter of the proud Don Esteban Valdeo, whose ill health has so impaired his finances that he cannot pay a debt to Mr. Martinez and his wife, Debbie. And the latter has signified his eagerness to marry Felicia and thereby cancel the obligation. The girl rides away to think over the difficulty in which she finds herself and to plan a way of escape. It is then that she meets the American. "His easy, conventional greeting and after a brief conversation she rides on with renewed hope though she does not know why. Later developments bring the American into her life in such a way that she cannot forget him. On his own initiative he renders her a service of great importance. He deepens and ruins the good impression she has made. The remainder of the picture shows what the cowboy does to prove that American men are the world's best. Smashing Scenes In The "Whistle" A drawbridge tender asleep at his post; an open bridge and a motor crashing into the inky waters below; child's scream and a man's brave plunge to the rescue! This is one of the smashing scenes in "The Whistle"—a picture produced by William Hiltier. Hillyer who also directed it. The original story is by May Wilmoth and Olin Lyman. In this new Paramount offering, which will be shown, at the Star theater next Tuesday, Mr. Hart has a new role—that of a factory worker, a man accustomed to 'jump to the sound of the whistle!' His attempt to mete out justice to a man whose selfishness has resulted in the death of the worker's beloved child, develops a series of situations that come as a completely satisfying train of events which round out to a conclusion that is distinguishty compelling. Every way this is a powerful drama and every way that would satisfy the most exacting. Three famous juvenile players appear in the cast. Frank Brownie has the "heavy" role. Mrs. Wallace Reid In "Human Wreckage" No child will be safe from dope peddlers unless the nation acts. Mrs. Wallace Reid sounds warning to generations of the future. This photo play created to make people think by Mrs. Wallace Reid, with the appalling information that there are more than a million narcotic addicts in this country today, and that the tide of addiction is rising. It is high time that we did something concrete—something worthwhile, to stem the onrush of the dreaded beast that harasses humanity, and spreads misery in its wake. Unless immediate action is taken by those empowered by law to take such action, no child will be safe from the avarices of the dope peddler. Embolden by the protection they have enjoyed the power to protect their beasts of prey are venturing to the very school-house door—the pride of our vaudevil civilization at the mercy of dope venders. Imagine that and ask yourself what you are going to do to assist in the world wide movement to check the spread of addiction. We undertook the production of "Human Wreckage" for one great purpose—to make the beopower the foremost thinking men and women of this country to deep thought on the matter of the dope problem, we are certain to get the sort of concerted action the situation so desperately requires. The management of the Colonial Theatre went to the great expense to hook this great photoplay for the Theatre going public of North Portland mouth and don't. This is the first time "Human Wreckage" has been shown in any colored theatre in this vicinity. The management urges you to attend the daily matinee or early evening performance to avoid the rush.

Miss Cox certainly demonstrates to the public that she is a high-class singer. She puts each of her numbers over perfect case and uses the strain to sing many singers do. She makes a great hit with "Any Woman's Blues" and "Grave Yard Dream Blues." She also knocks them cold with "I Have Got the Blues for Rampart Street." Miss Cox will soon be singing two new blues hits, "Lawdy, Lawdy Blues" and "Moonin', Grownin'" and "Moonin'" has been recorded exclusively for Paramount Records since Miss Cox is an exclusive Paramount star. She is accompanied by Mr. Jessie Crump at the piano. Crump is one of the best in the business. He makes the house rock when he demonstrates his piano specialty. Speaking of costumes, that's what Miss Cox has nothing else, but, and her drop is said to be the best displayed in our theaters for years.

Y., Dec 12—Emil Morro of the 369th Infantry lost the decision, after 10 rounds of hard battling to Petey Hayes (white) at the 47th Regiment army, Nov. 27. In an eight-round affair, Edwin Riley of the 369th Infantry defeated Al Miller after a fast scrap. It was the best fight of the night. Riley was the more clever of the two, and Miller carried an awful sock. Riley's aggressiveness won him the honors. NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE PROTESTED BY THE KELLY N. P. SERVICE WELL I CUGHT UP! NOW ILL JUST SLOW BEING THE PROCESSION, I SURE AM SORRY OL' BILL'S CONE! HER- TO A SUCH F? CHEAP STUFF? IT COST TEN DOLLARS AN QUINCE IMAG IN TO Richmond Edi On Roland Ha Tribute Richmond Editor's Comment On Roland Hayes A Splendid Tribute To His Genius Mr. Douglas Gordon, editor of the Richmond Times Dispatch, and a musical and dramatic critic of national note, in commenting on the recital of Roland Hayes, celebrated Negro tenor, held in Richmond, recently, pays the singer and to the artistic qualifications of the race, one of the finest tributes ever penned by a white American. Mr. Gordon was for a number of years connected with the Norfolk Leider Dispatch, leaving this city shortly after writing a masterly and most impartial review of a concert held in this city by Dr. R. Nathaniel Dett and a Hampton Institute Glee Club last April. Mr. Gordon's high tributes as appeared in the Richmond Times Dispatch of November 20, follows: "Those who were fortunate enough or farsighted enough to go to the City Auditorium last night were rewarded by hearing one of the finest concert tenors Richmond has listened to within the memory of this column which has extended throughout a period of a good month. One of the nearly known as patrons of lovers of music were there; they could not have known what manner of recital it promised to be; they could not have heard of the singer. Why? Was he a French, German, Russian, English or Italian singer of great gifts, but of little reputation? No. He was an American Negro, about whom our people in this section have nothing or at most one, is an American Negro born in Georgia and "raised" there—what an ironical commentary!—and he is one of the most finished recital artists before the public today. Gives Close Attentoin As a matter of straight reporting Roland Hayes is a young Negro with the features, color and hair of our darker colored people and with none of the marks that denote an admixture. Apparently he is modest though he has perfect poise and he is as many other artist who is quite certain of himself. Again reporting, last night's audience gave him the closest attention at all times; when it was necessary sat almost breathless and at the end of each number cordially applauded him. Speaking editorially and from many years of intimate knowledge of our own colored people in the adjournence, it is fairly certain that the restraint on their part prevented the applause from being enthusiastic rather than merely cordial. For Rland Hayes unquestionably deserved all the enthusiasm that an auditorium full of white people certainly would have displayed. Last Sunday, this column said in part: "Most of us old-timers have long clung to the idea that the Negro voice does not lend itself happily to schooling, that its qualities just as we used to believe that only such men as Blind Tom, who played by ear, could become famous as instrumentalists.

A further instruction in the matter of the highly schooled Negro singer." Pure Lyric Tenor That is precisely what he gave us last night, in addition to the sheer delight of hearing a beautiful voice used by an artist skilled in interpretation. His voice is pure lyric tenor, but in the lower register heavier more solid than that of most lyric tenors and thruout its range which is abundant for fourteen minutes made upon it last night, it is warm and rich, smooth and of finest texture. Suppose he had that to begin with, 'hough he hadn't all of this to begin with. He has been so schooled by some body or many somebodies that he is able to forget the mere voice its placement its production and the like and use it as an accustomed instrument for the conveyance of thought, for the expression of empathy, for the expression of empathy, for the expression of empathy, for the expression of empathy, he has the intelligence that must, finally, make the complete artist. Spirituals Unexcelled His program last night ran from old song of Paradisi and Purcell through an air of Handel—and his Handel singing is marked by as lovely and limp a legato as John McCormack's—through Schuman and Strauss (inexcellent German) through the Dream aria from Massenet's "Manson" which was a veritable masterpiece of soft "singing to a group of palettes, no other singer in America can sing them. And with exception of two or three instances of flatting in one spot in his voice the entire program was something, very like a lesson in the art of singing especially of half-voice singing and of interpretation. One of his four spirituals which was one of two arranged by himself, is more nearly like the spontaneous outbursts of his few of us nowadays have ever heard in meeting houses in the country—than any other these cars have heard. And when he sang that and "Steal Away To Jesus" the man seemed lifted out of himself—schoolled singer and highly trained though he is. That is incidentally, however. Not relatively, but positively, speaking if there is a lyric tenor capable of giving a more admirable recital in America today through DOUGLASS GORDON BACK HOME FROM DIXIE HOSPITAL Mr. W. C.

Wills and Firpo May Bout In New York PRESTON SERVICE New York, Dec. 13—Tex Rickard today declined to reveal details of negotiations he has had under way for some time to match Harry Wills, Negro heavyweight, and Luis Firpo, but indicated that some progress toward arranging the final bout has been made. Rickard admitted receiving word from Firpo in which the latter suggested May 5 as a satisfactory date for holding the fight. The promoter, however, said he had no definite date in mind, although he said some time about May 1 would be desirable. Rickard apparently has definitively given up a proposal to stage the bout in the Argentine, particularly as Wills is opposed to meeting Firpo in the latter's native country. The most likely scene will be New York, but the promoter will not reveal whether he plus build a new title, if it gestured, might also be used for a match between Firpo-Wills victor and Jack Dempsey, heavyweight champion. Rickard already has Fipro upon contract to fight Wills but so far only the former have steadily refused to accept the promoter's terms. Wrestling Siki Loses To Zbyszko Chicago, II., Dec.—Conning as he did out of nowhere, Wrestling Reggie Siki, the recently imported, met his defeat at the hands of the one time heavyweight champion, Stanislas Zbyzsko. Stanislas held the championship for a long time, and when Siki suggested as an opponent gladly did, he turned after many had turned the match down. From the starting gong Siki was on the defensive. He avoided Stanis at every turn. Many times he walked around the ring, making a sudden turn and grabbing the old timer about the limbs, pulling his feet from under him sending him to the mat. Once on the mat the match was up and down. Siki showed his marvelous strength by getting up on the heights of Stanis and shattering Zbyzsko's head makes head holding out of the question while Siki's was a formidable target. Each time Stanisan would try the head hold Siki would work him down to the arm lock which he knew very well and used whenever he could. He put this hold on Stanis eight times but lacking the margin of weight he failed to put his shoulders down. He put this hold on Stanis secured a body scissor and wrist lock, punishing his opponent severely. Skii won applause when he bridged after Stanis had secured a body scivir. While in this position Zhyszko hammered at Skii's midship section in a vain effort to bend him. After he tried several times Skii rolled over and let the bulky champion fall to the mat. For one solid hour these two grapplers tugged and pulled. Soon the terrific pace began to toll on the inexperienced Skii and Stanis tied him in a knot with a jack knife and they retired from the ring and after a short resumed the battle. It was evident that Stanis wanted no more punishment so he quickly slipped on the one hold the youthful Skii failed to break, winwork his way up gradually.

T. HARVEY, Director of Athletic Morehouse College, Atlanta, Ga. When I came South in the fall of 1916 to teach and coach at Morehouse College, I found in existence a loosely constructed Southeastern Intercollegiate Athletic Association, having as nominal members, Fisk, Talladge, Knoxville, Tuskegee, Clark, Morris, Kentucky, Atlanta, and Morehouse. Since that time, every college or less nebula education has censured to function in spirit or name, its past efforts being in the form of questionaries sent out last year by Mr. Holloway of Talladge College. Never before has there been so many apparent needs of a Intercollegiate Athletic Association in this section of the country, as during the past season. Let me mention a few things this Association could do, that would have been of great help during the past season to contesting teams and the general public. 1- The certification and appointment of competent officials. 2-Review of decisions on technical points. 3-A definite and accurate assignment of the championship in all branches of sport. 4-Standards of eligibility and rules concerning migratory students. 5-Investigation of rumors of poor sportsmanship on the part of home teams toward visitors. 6—Uniform contracts and strict adherence to same. Therefore as a result of these observations and personal conference I wish to suggest that the athletic representatives of the following schools come together and form a Southeastern Intercollegiate Conference, numerous in the State of Morris Brown, Wilcoxville, Morehouse, Morris Brown, Talladega, Tennessee, State, and Tuskegee Institute. In line with the above suggestion, my review and selection of players has been based on these teams. The Southeast considers itself fortunate in welcoming to them onches in Abbott of Tuskegee and Kindle of Talladega. Both of these men brought their teams up to a high plane of efficiency this year, and finally on Thanksgiving, Mr. Abbott secured the edge as to success by defeating Talladega at Talladega 7-0. At the same time we regres to the University from whom has resigned at Morris Brown and returned to Allen University. The season itself has been a series of upsets, with all teams showing remarkable defensive strength. On the whole the teams have shown better training in fundamentals. However, all teams have been unable to play in intensity to hold the ball on forward passes and when tackled in the open field. The question of champion will be the cause of much debate, and four teams can boast of only one defeat, Morehouse, Fisk, Atlanta Univ., and Tuskegee. Morehouse won both games, Fisk 6-0, Fisk won three games and lost to Atlanta University, JSB- Atlanta University won six games, tied Tuskegee and lost to Morris Brown, 6-0, after Morris Brown had been defeated by Taldegee and Morehouse. Tuskegee won games, tied Atlanta Univ., and lost to Tuskegee 6-0. Pick the winner, as you will. Atlanta University was the best defensive team. Morochue showed the best offensive and variety of attack, and with less fumbling would have presented a clean slate, as every score can be traced directly to an unfortunate fumble. Morochue Brown had the best backfield shift play. Tuskegee with Stoneton a triple threat from kick formation showed the team with the best grounding team kick formation. Ala. State showed wonderful improvement and will bear watching by all in 1924. Tenn. State did not show to advantage because of injuries, and physical condition of their coach. The following selection of men has not been made from press report but from actual observation of players pitted against each other in their respective positions. I have already seen one All-American team with a man on it who did not get in but two games this year. Only one man named has not been seen in action this year and I have decided on him - by a process of elimination and observation of coaches of teams who have met him this season. Allow me to say a word before naming the teams this year, concerning them in other years and are still playing thinking especially of Leak, A. U.; Gayles, of Morchouse; Long, Fisk; Boss, Tuskegee; and others. I wish to commend them for their valiant attempts to stem the onrushing tide of youth in their respective teams. We have done well, but the old order changeth giving place to the new. ALL-SOUTHEASTERN ELEVENS 1ST. TEAM Chy. A, U. U Hall, A. S. N. S. Cromwell, K. C. I. Williams, M. C. Cromwell, M. C. Irving, M.

Father Football came upon the stage and reigned supreme for three months. After a successful ride down the pages of time, during the time which feathers flew high and high and but now the pages of the past and goes down as history like the passing of seasons. In many instances dope ran true to form and on the other hand old man dope was knocked sprawling and panting for breath. Early September saw many veterans and candidates don the old pigskin togs to prepare for another season of gorefest. It also saw the lofty ambitions of new candidates mount to the highest pitch, only to fall back, fade and die. Sought for laurals on the gridiron proved to be nothing but vision of something popular for. The great men of the sport waged squads of and forty to squads of thirty and forty. Instead of the expectants wearing the colors of their colleges in the form of jerseys and stockings, they wore them in the form of pennants and ribbons. Beginning with the first happening of interest, at the meeting of the Colored Intercollegiate Association, held as Shaw University early in the Spring of 1923, St. Paul Institute was unanimously voted a member of the St. Paul's meteorology team to a team of students in cognition made her hailed as one of the strongest contenders for Colored conference honors. She was highly respected and honored and given a wide berth. After the production of a team of weight, coupled efficient training and speed she proved to be a threatening foe to older members of the Association. Some of the wise ones picked St. Paul to win, but her tail fathers were clipped when the teenagers journeyed to Hampton to squabble with the Sea Otter. Of course the game was won by one point, but one is as good as a thousand when it is the deciding one. St. Paul held the mighty Lincoln Lions to a score of 3-3. This was an additional star to her crown. Lincoln and Hampton were the only hard ones for the Tigers. All other Conference squads proved easy marks. The war battered Shaw Bugs made her tighten up at times, but she would not be denied victory. Union the team of all teams this season, rode the crest majestically and successfully, only having one tally pushed across her final white line and then it was not for a victory. Coach Martin had his charges in fine fettle, and they did justice to his training and the every game a victory. The work of Boffman, Martin, Derritt, Fentress, Corrothers and the Smiths was the main factor in their wheel of success. Howard Bisons with an aggregation of forty griddists entered the arena with their eyes on but one game—Lincoln. All games prior to the Turkey Day clash with Lincoln were merely looked upon as stepping stones to that annual contest. Nevertheless, she did not fail to make a good season of it and come out of the band of the horn. One of the Bisons greatest achievements was the stealth rolling of Hampton to the stealth of 19-6. Howard did not lose a Conference game, in fact no other but her goal was darkened on more than one occasion. The work of Captain Donehy, Williams, and Contee were about the most preeminent. It is generally conceded that the whole team deserves credit, and it played well as a whole. Some of those to suffer at the hands of the ruthing at the mating of Bisons were H. hup on, Lincoln, Petersburg, Morehouse, A. & T., and Wilberforce. Next week—Shaw, Lincoln and Hampton. Information has just been received in this city that the Union University. All-Stars will meet the Norfolk Athletic Club in a football game here at League Park Christmas Day. CRUDUP ELECTED CAPTAIN LINCOLN LIONS FOR 1924 CRUDUP ELECTED CAPTAIN LINCOLN LIONS FOR 1924 Lineinch University, Pa.—In a football meeting of the Varsity men held last Saturday for the election of a Captain, Crudup was elected by his teammates as their leader for the next season. After the election Crudup expressed the hope that for the high appraisal soon, him by his teammates, "I feel greatly honored since I have been chosen as your captain. I am confident the Lions are going to be a good team next year. It is a lamentable fact that we are losing a valuable crop of football material this year, but the team is now left which is after all the essential thing for a good team," said the captain. The captain elect will have at his disposal six Varsity men besides some of this year's promising "subs." Lincoln will lose ex-captain Johnson, Brown, Carter, Coston, Hogans, Jason and Pindexter. The new captain will win the best winnings of the past season, the not a flash, he is very consistent and the best placement kicker in Negro football. The election of Crudup met with the approval of the entire student body. He was coach of the Freshman team in its annual battle with the Sophomores, after the game he was busy shaking hands, with the undergraduates and received many congratulatory remarks from the alumni during the week. After the game, the inspirational leader, a versatile and headplayer, and a triple threat man. He possesses a rare gift of leadership and is expected to be the most popular captain next fall. NORFOLK ATHLETICS AND MERRIMACS AT THE PARK MONDAY A game which will attract a great deal of interest is that to be played next Monday, December 17, 1923 at League Park, Church and Eighteenth (18) streets, when the Norfolk Athletic Club and the Merrimac of Hampton meet to settle the Independent Colored Football Championship supremacy. The locals will have their full quota of games in the game, and they will to sustain the reputation they have won by their brilliant work during the season. The game will be called at three (3) P. M. sharp and a large crowd is expected to witness this battle. Merrimac Romps Away With N. A. C. In a game devoid of everything that goes in the making of a real football game, and a game that did not do justice to the memorable Armstrong Field, Norfolk Athletic Club lost to the Merrivine Club of Hampton, last Monday. The gridiron stadium of Hampton Institute witnessed the sorrist spectacle performed on its turf since its erection. The game ended with a score of 19-0, the Merrivine's on the big end. The kind of game that resulted in this score, should have resulted in a larger score. The N. A. C. left Norfolk with a squad of sixteen strong to humble the seasiders, but they were humbled instead. The N. A. C, that cuffed the ears of State Normal; steamed rolled Newport News Y. M. C. A., and held the mighty Adelaide to a cold, off-color when she went down in defeat. Merrivine had little difficulty in making three tallies on the Norfolk Club. Poor generalship and bad judgment was the sole cause of the Norfolk aggregation's defeat. The Norfolk lineup is as follows: Bibbins, L. E. Jones, Giddy, G. B.; G. B., G. B.; Jordan, R.; G. B.; Booth, R.; T. Lee, R. E.; Gay, Q. B.; Whistchurst, L. H.; Robinson, R. H.; Smith, F. B. Va. Normal Snatches Win From mSt. Paul Va. Normal Snatches Win From mSt. Paul (Br J. L. WHITEHEAD) (BJ. Y. WINDSOR) Pete Peterson, Winnemucca—In a game that spread several thousand spectators to a bedlam of shouts, shrieks and plain yells at McKenzie Street Park here today, the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute through sheer strategy snatched a 7 to 6 victory from the St. Paul Normal and Industrial School. It was a titan struggle that never ended. The official's final whistle indicated that the sixty minutes of gridiron had vanished the opposing eleven cheerfully trotted off the field with an unattarnished record for sportsmanship, with the sign of elation upon their brows, and with the sympathy, support and goodness of every sportier who saw the eleven hard battle for 1923 football honors. The 1923 football curtain has closed. The game this afternoon Between the Orange and Black and the Orange and Blue machines was a fitting climax to the greatest football season in the history of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association. Today marked the reopening of the female athletic center in the city's greatest rivals in the strongest and most progressive athletic organization among Negro schools. NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE The first period was a seesaw, or testing, affair with neither team coming within scoring distance. An exchange of punts, three attempted forward pass by Virginia Normal and four thrilling line plunges by St. Paul, and a 15 yard penalty on the former enabled the latter to reach Virginia Normal's 12 yard line. Failing to gain a "first and ten," on three attempts Walker tried a game with Hillioppie placement line. The kick for placement went wild. Coming out to the 20 yard line, the Virginia Normal boys found it necessary to use the toe on the 2nd down. An exchange of punts followed and landed the ball in Virginia Normal's possession in midfield. Two end runs, two long forward passes, and a 5 yard penalty on St. Paul, all of which resulted in three downs, placed the owl the Tigers' goal, and got the Hillioppies. As Coles end to yell his signals the period ended. All the scoring was done in the third period. Virginia Normal received the kick-off. They punted on the third down; St. Paul kicked on the 4th, and Virginia Normal returned the kick on the 3rd. It was St. Paul's ball on their 40 yard line. Here the Tigers uncorried that baffling shift, and right through the Hilltop defense, with Walker, Collins, Walker, I. Willingham carrying the pikskin for four first downs and a touchdown. Walker made 7 yards through his right tackle for the score. Walker's "try" for point by placement was blocked: St. Paul's fans went into ectasy, but before those youthful, jubilant chants even echoed Virginia Normal had tied the score. Receiving the kick-off on his back 28 yards, Coles ran first play Turner went around his left end and, with an audacious four-men interference he went on his memorable 62 yard journey for a touchdown. This was a great run. The Tiger's secondary defense connived to drive this feely star outside, but, after shaking off three tacklers, his wonderful presence of mind enabled him to change his course and ran with a clean field before him. To the dismay of some, he landed the ball behind the coveted spot. Coles scored the extra point by 15 yard dropkick. The fourth period was a desperate fight, and most of this act found St. Paul on the defense in her own territory. Douglass instructed his proteges to "steal the gas," and the players tried to "cut loose." The Tigers clawed, the Hilltoppers released holders, but the teams at this juncture were evenly balanced. St. Paul's line was impenetrable, and it was useless to attempt to circle the ends in the last minutes. Virginia Normal was outstanding in this act. Two tackle plays, and two forward passes brought them to St. Paul's 4 yard line for first and goal, and the Orange and Blue lost the ball on downs. Failing to gain an inch on three downs, Coles passed to goal from the field. He goal from the field. All expected him to boot the oval on the fourth down, instead he called for his famous fake, and was downed in his tracks.

Dec. 13 — Tony Thomas, white, local bantam weight, was awarded the judge's decision over Danny Edwards, the pacific coast bantam, after 10 rows of furious fighting Friday. The decision was far from being satisfactory to the large gathering of fans, and they viced their disapproval by bhooting for many minutes after the boys left the ring. Edwards weighed 1202.2 pounds, and Thomas scaled 1140.4 pounds. His presence of many policemen, who it is understood, were permitted to see the contest, free, probably averted a free-for-all fight. A large mixed audience came from Springfield and the word passed out beforehand by local fans "on the inside" that Thomas, who is a local boy, would be given the decision of the fight. Policemen hung around the scene until far after midnight. HAMPTON AWARDS LETTERS TO SEASON'S ATHLETIC WARRIORS By P. BERNARD YOUNG, Jr. Hampton V.A.-After meeting the requirements with regard to the number of Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association games participated in and after showing the necessary skill in playing their various positions, the trips have been awarded their letter "EI" in football at Hampton Institute; Adice C. Butler, Memphis, Teen, guard; W. W. Cardozo, Washington, D. C., fullback; Thodore T. Coleman, Cumberland, Va., tackle and captain for the 1923 season; Thos. J. Coleman, Memphis, Teen, guard; David L. Gunn, Stockbridge, Mass, halfback; Herbert Hardwick, Savannah, Ga., halfback; Edward Hargrove, New York City, halfback; Bertrand C. Jacobs, Pittsfield, Mass, quarterback; James H. Jones, Boston, Mass., end; Oscar Winter, Boston, Va., winter and opion-lect for the 1924 season; Arthur R. Ruffin, Couthorville, VA., end; J. Spencer Ruffin, Couthorville, VA., tackle; James P. Taylor, Montgomery, Ala., tackle; and William D. Williams, Tulsa, Okla., fullback. Pindle Elected Captain At a meeting held at the Hampton Institute Gymnasium, the letter men elected Oscar A. Carson to play next year. He is, good student and a wonderful player and leader. The sport writers and others who have watched Pindle play declare him the greatest center of the season. In all the games of this season his perfect passing his aggressiveness, his salient defensive playing and his ability to play as the most probable all-association selected for the center. Indeed, no center this season has out played him. All-Association Selections There is little doubt as to the right of Theodore T. Coleman, tackle and captain of the "Seasideers" during the 1923 season, to be placed on the mythical eleven. He has done wonders on the offense and defense. When his team wanted a touchdown in the Union game he was the only one to receive other occasions he came into the backfield and gained some of the much needed yardage. "Jimmie" Jones will probably receive the honor of a berth on the mythical eleven again this year. He is one of the fastest ends in the association and is good at receiving passes. He is a wonderful tackler. Adice Cutter at guard has proved to be a great strength on the Very few gains have been made through him this season. His playing has also been of all-association caliber. Bertrand "Sticky" Jacobs, Hampton's 135-pound general, displayed in every game this season his superior generalship. His ability to diagnose the play of his opponents, his choice of his own plays, and his power to instill the fighting spirit into the players, have made him invaluable to the "Seasiders" and a threat to the opponents. "Bulldog" Williams at fullback TIGER FLOWERS TO BOUT IN CUBA AND IN MEXICO SOON PRESTON SERVICE Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 15—After a sensational 12-round draw with Boston George Robinson here on Nov. 27, Manager Walk Miller, who handles Georgia Flowers, feels it is sufficiently mended to warrant his fulfilling the contracts that were called off in Mexico and Cuba. On Dec. 15, at San Antonio, Tex., Flowers will meet Siki or Sonny Goodrich in a twelve round match. New Year's Day, he will meet either Jeff Smith or Gordon McCay at the first round of January, Manager Miller and Flowers will embark for Havana where the best middleweight obtainable will face Flowers in a 12-round match. The recent match in Atlanta was pronounced the best fight ever staged there, and it is likely that the two and Flowers will be matched for Christmas Day in Atlanta. The Tiger is by far the best attraction in the South, Southeast and Middle West, as well as in both Cuba and Mexico, and many of his managers have made his manager from all parts of the United States. It is very likely that Flowers will be seen in the East after he has filled his Cuban contract, in such places as Boston, Buffalo, Pittsburg, Philadelphia, Portland and Portland have made offers for the popular Georgia fighter. George Robinson holds the distinction of being the only man in the ring that has held Flowers to a draw, and outweighed the Tiger some twelve pounds in their match. Flowers has defended such well against the Tiger, Gan Jamaica Kid Tut Clackson and Kid Palmer, Jimmy O'Cattay, Tom King, Gorilla Jones, Jimmy Barry, Jim Flyn, Bob Lawson, Frankie Murphy, Eddie Palmer Frank Carbone and a number of lesser lights. Jamaica Kid and Tut Jackson, both outweighing Flowers many pounds, have fought the Tiger 24 rounds each, in two matches, and neither man was given and even out of the twenty-four fight. was Hampton's most consistent gainer and her best defensive back. He sored touchdowns on St. Paul and Shaw. He is the only player who has scored a touchdown on St. Paul on a line plunge and thereby demonstrated his plunging ability. Consistent Players Gun, in his kicking, excelled any man in the association. He was excellent on passing. Hardwijk was a good driving, ground-gaining back. Hargrove is the passing "ace" of the association. Rarely did a touchdown not result from a touchdown, but from a touchdown, himself on the Lincoln "Lions" Cardozo, the Ruffin brothers, Coleman at guard, and Taylor at trickle played ball in every game which they played. 561 Church Street Toys Do SAM FR TOY Come To See Our S Doll Big Mama Dolls from 6 $5.00 Reed Carriages, big Go-Carts from 69c to... $2.00 Rockers.....

Monday morning as a result of the activi- ties of the police over the week- end. Zeb Williams, 708 Highland av- venue, was held in $250 bond for his appearance in Corporation Court to answer on a Mapp act charge. Whipped. His Horse William Kelley was fined $10.00 and costs for cruelty to animals, it being testified by the arresting offi- cer that Kelley cruelly whipped the beast. John Thornton and William My- ors were assessed $5.00 and costs for being drunk. Mabel Brown, a girl appearing to be not over 17 years of age, paid a fine of $5.00 and costs on a drunkenness charge. Had No Worl Tom Sims picked up Saturday by a police逮捕, who charged him with vagrancy. The detective alleged that Sims informed him when arrested that he had just arrived in the city from West Virginia, and had neither employment or money. In Police Court Sims testified that he had a job with the Old Dominion Steamship Company at the company's pier, foot of Church street. He said he had been arrested, ordered arresting and told the court that a Mr. Welch hired him. A telephone call to the pier disclosed that no Mr. Welch was known by the company officials. Sims went to jail in default of a $100 bond to guaranty his not becoming a public charge. Screams Caused Arrest Nettie Williams was hailed before the court on a drunkenness charge. The complaining officer testified that screams coming from Nettie's home attracted his attention. On investigation he found no one in the house except the woman. She was drunk, he said. The accused testified that two men, who had noticed that she was carrying money in her stocking, followed her to her home, and when asked, she looked at her with robbery intent. She admitted, however, that she was drunk, and went to the pen in default of a fine of $5.00 and costs. Promised To Leave Town Mary Johnson, Highland avenue were Wide street, was up on a charge of being drunk. Mary testified that Saturday morning she received a telegram from Richmond forming her of the death of her mother. She was very much worried, she said, and began to drink. She got out of jail Saturday morning after serving a 21 day sentence and claimed that the officers on he beat "had it in", for her and pick her up for the most trivial thing... She begged Justice Spindle not to send her back to jail, promising that if he would let her of this time, she would leave tawn before night. Justice Spindle took her word and dismissed the charge. Immoral Conduct Addie Williams, Grant street, was charged with resisting on officer and soliciting for immoral purposes. She was arrested by patrolman T. J. Murden, who alleged that the woman had been seen accosting men at the corner of Queen and Grant streets. Attorney J. Eugene Diggs defended the woman, and brought out in cross examination of the policeman that the charge being immoral conduct did not be substantiated. She was find $5.00 and costs for running from the officer after having been placed under arrest. Alex Small, charged with vagrancy was given until Tuesday to get a job. Thomas Farr was arrested on a warrant sworn out by John R. Jones, his brother-in-law, who charged him with vagrancy. Mr. Jones said that he hailed Farr in court to an effort to compel him to find employment and support his wife and children. Mr. Farr told the court that he "clare to God," he'd go to work if some one would find a job for him. He said that he had been to people and begged them to allow him to work, even at their own price, he said. He pleaded that he would work for the sake of his own welfare, even if he did not have the wife and babies, and was certain that having a family, he wanted work. Farr implored the court to give him more chance to get employment, and said if the court doubted that he would work for job for him and he'd prove that he is a worker. Justice Spindle decided to allow him until Tuesday to find employment. Farr profusely thanked the court, but just before, leaving the bar, he asked Justice Spindle to tell him where the job was. This was too much and a wrist injury in the court came forward and informed Farr that the contractors for the proposed new grain elevator were advertising for laborers. Mr.-Farr thanked him and left the court room. Rifled Coat Pockets The assistant stevedore on the N. Y. P. & N. dock was the complaining witness against James Patrick, a young man, whom the complainant alleged he saw rifling the pockets of workmen's coats hanging on the pier. Patrick was then arrested and he was alleged that he was seen to leave his work and go thru the coat pockets about five o'clock in the morning and when questioned by the boss stevedore ran into the streets. He was later, arrested and charged with attempted theft. -A, fine of $10.00 and costs was the penalty. Patrick went to jail. Henry Walker, of Lincoln street, accused James Epps of the larceny from his room of $24.00. Walker said that he and Epps were in a room together during the early part of the night, and that he pulled off his trousers, hung them on the chair with $24.00 in their pockets. He fell -sleep, he testified and later awoke to find both Epps and the money gone. Early Sunday morning he found Epps coming out of another house on the same street drunk. Walker said a web on Epps claiming that his money. The complaint appeared plausible until Epps got his chance to talk. He not only denied the theft of the $24.00, but alleged that Walker runs a "coke joint." He said that he with another man had been to Walker's house several times Saturday night and found Walker sitting at the table rolling out cocaine pills. They had bought both "coke" and bootleg whiskey from the company. Epps declared. He even accused Walker of failing to deliver $4.00 worth of the "stuff" after he and his friend had paid for it. It was plain that Epps testimony was interesting the court, and causing Walker no little uneasiness. Epps said that he intended to tell the truth even if he should have been wrong, and would kill him if his testimony was not true. Justice Spindle questioned Walker very closely about what the defendant had testified to concerning him. Walker was put on the defensive and it was Epps trying to discredit Epps instead of pressing the charge of larceny. The charge was dismissed. Too Much Sightseeing George Hawkins got drunk and fell out on the street at the corner Wide street and Highland avenue. His getting drunk got William Coleman and Luke Harris in trouble.

Both men testified that they were enroute home and while passing the corner the policeman was grabbing after everybody in sight and grabbed them too. Coleman said that he and the patrol wagon happened to arrive on the scene at the same time and the policeman was trying to lead it up with everybody anywhere around.

They were represented by attorney Thomas. Each defendant was endeavoring to frame a plausible story of how he happened to be in the house, at the same time denying that they were gambling. Testimony of this nature was dragging along until he was allowed to testify. His request was granted.

SUNDAY DECEMBER 16TH, 1923 World-Wide Missage—Acts 16:1-28. Rom. 15:18-21. Eph. 3:2-9 Golden Text I am not ashamed to the Gospel; it is the power of God to salvation to every one that believeth. Rom. 1:16. I. Paul preaches the Gospel in Europe. Acts 16:9-15 The Second Missionary Journey of Paul was the most momentous of faith and worship because it added a new continents the continent of progress, to the domain of the church. It made Christianity not an Ousental religion, according to the Bible, but an Ocidental religion according to of the three because it added a new continent, the continent of progress, to the domain of the church. It made Christianity not an Oriental religion, according to the land of its birth, but an Occidental religion, according to the adoption. Strongly established in the West, it is now returning to become once more at home in the East." The beginning of the gospel in Europe may be properly said to be the Macedonian Call. Paul had a vision—some think that Luke was the man of the vision, beckoning Paul to come over and help. The Christian Church established in Europe, was at Philippi, a Roman colony. This church is the result of a prayer-meeting on the sabbath day by the river side. The first convert was Lydia, a seller of purge, from the city of Thyatira. "It is another of many striking examples of the way in which God delights to meet his people in the ordinary business employments of life. He called Matthew when seated at the toll-bay of custom, Peter and Andrew when in their petty stranger dungeon where she had for some time prosecuted her trade. It teaches us that great truth—that we do not need to leave the duties of life in order to be religious." Bible Trees. II. Paul realizes his life's ambition—to preach the Gospel in Rome—Acts 28:39-31. "It is thrilling to note the way in which Paul adhered to his purpose to visit Jerusalem, though warned that imprisonment and possibly death awaited him there, and though he believed the warning, Paul set his face toward Jerusalem as determined as his master had done on his way to crucifixion. He sent the Jerusalem port to deliver, and had his son to perform in the temple. Must we not also believe that Paul was led bishop by the Holy Spirit that he might accommodate his long-desired purpose and visit Rome?" Paul, in his own hired house, for the space of two years, at Rome, preached and taught the burgers concerning the kingdom of God and the Holy Christ with all boldness. The church was one of liberty among one forbid him. In his own house Paul had persecuted religious liberty. The Jews did not dare to interfere with him, and the Romans did not care to. The chain that bound Paul also protected him from mobs and assassinations and all forms of persecution. Probably as a Roman prisoner Paul preached to more people and won more converts of Christ, and accomplished more for the salaries he had earned. He have possible had entered Rome as a free man to make his as an evangelist in synagogues, the streets, markets and such halls it should have been obtained." III. Paul's Aim—The Gospel to all. Mark's Aim—15:18-21. This is what missions have to give to the world: not healing of the body, though that is good; not better ways of farming and planting now-industries, thought that is good; not a widening of the intellectual horizon and an introduction to the world; though that is good; not even a purer morality, just courts, the reformer of social customs, though that is good; but, with all these things and infinitely beyond them, the thing that reaches the deep places of the souls, the thing that lasts through eternity, the thing that underlies and pervades all other blessings as that without it are nothing—the love of God in Jesus Christ our Lord."

Communion 2 meeting. Rev. D. Jennings, pastor. Paul had preached the gospel, the preaching was powerfully and effectively done. The preacher's ministry had been energized by the power of the Holy Spirit. There was still much land to be possessed. The Apostle to the Gentiles wanted to evangelize the unevangelized fields where the mission of Christ had been already known. Jesus had seen their whore to the sun. Daphne his successive journey run; His Kingdom stretch from shore to shore. to shoot, 'Till moons shall wax and wane no more—Iseoc Watts. BRIGGSOGRAMS The church has only one Found- er - locus Christ. The 'cry' of all non-Christian peoples is—"Come over and help us." The first convert to Christianity in Europe was a woman—a business woman. The women are still in majority in the church—they deserve a larger place in the work and government of the church.

But like most white people, when he attempts to discuss the Negro in persona, he misses the mark. Every Negro knows that the exposure of most crimes committed by Negroes comes through Negroes.

The Parents of Martin Tabert, who was whipped to death in the Patam Lumber Company camp in Florida, which led to some remedial camp in Florida, which led to some medical damages for the loss of their son. The parents of all of the Negro victims who have been whipped and worked to death in the Florida peonage camps should receive $20,000 damages for each victim it would bankrupt every such company in Florida. But they may give any cent damages. The victims were only poor, helpless, black, unfortunate. A recent advertisement in The Journal and Guide has the following great big caption: "Have You as Much Money as You Need for the Holidays?" Sure, we never knew of a person who had as much money as he though he needed for the Holidays or any other day, the more money a person has, generally, the more he thinks he needs. It is the happy-gorky creature who exists and does not live who doesn't worry about money and cares nothing about the value of it. When he needs something he just gets it and is very often gotten in the act. So runs the mad world away. Mark Sullivan, one of the reliable newspaper men at Washington, thinks that one of the factors counted upon to help the Republicans in the elections next year is the "redistribution of the colored population." Missouri having some 75,000 and Illinois some 150,000 added to the Republican strength by theigrant movement." That is a nice way to look at it, but not a safe way. The Republican party is not now what it has been and the neglect of the race by the party for forty years and the cold-blooded ingratitude of thearding Administration, made the average thinking "colored voter" not what he has been the November elections showed this to be so the Negro cannot rely upon the Republican party any longer and the Republican party cannot rely on the Negro any longer. "pity is true; but, true, 'tis pity." One by one the days of the old year are dying.

The Happy Christmas Fund People The race banks in Tidewater Virginia, as we have shown in the news columns of the Journal and Guide, will pay to Christmas Savings Club members during the holidays, if they have not already done so, some $173,500 while the white banks of the same district will pay their members over $2,000,000. Our Metropolitan Bank and Trust Company had 5,000 members of its club who will receive $125,000, the showing by the aggregate number of our The race banks in Tidewater Virginia, as we have shown in the news columns of The Journal and Guide, will pay to Christmas Savings Club members during the holidays, if they have not already done so, some $173,500 while the white banks of the same district will pay their members over $2,000,000. Our Metropolitan Bank and Trust Company had 5,000 members of its club who will receive $125,000. The showing by the aggregate number of our banks is a splendid indication of the growing thriftiness of the people, many of whom will redeposit a large part of their Christmas Fund savings, and is the best possible argument for the existence of our banks, which have gradually grown in the confidence of the masses and will continue to do so. Our banks, like our insurance companies, are a standing invitation to all of the people to be thrifty. When once a person who has been spending as he goes begins to save, however small the beginning, the saving spirit grows on him, in such a way that in comparatively short time, he has such a fine showing to his credit that he is surprised that he did not begin to save long ago. The beginning is the main thing. Sticking to it comes after and grows upon the person, who can feel reasonably proud and self-sufficient as his account grows and places him "on easy street," off which spendthrifts are barred as a matter of course, and many of whom dislike the conclusion and gradually are won over to the ranks of the thrifty, when they "are happy ever after" as they say in the love story papars and books. The people who hustle for their share of the education and culture and good morality and wealth of the time and place in which they live and hope and strive will enjoy their own self respect as well as that of their neighbors. The person who has a bank account has an unfailing friend in every dollar to his credit—the best and most sympathetic and responsive of all friends. Roland Hayes In New York Triumph Roland Hayes, the race's premier lyric tenor, has appeared in recitals in Tidewater Virginia, recently, and met with the greatest public welcome and approval. His appearance at Hampton Institute was a very great and successful one. In his critic of the Hampton appearance, Mr. Wm. Anthony Aery, in his release, says, he "held a large and representative audience of music lovers spellbound with his wonderful singing. Throughout his pro Editorial Page of gram he showed that he was an artist with rare natural gift, who, by faithful training and study, had brought himself into the front rank of American tenors." Mr. Hayes appeared in Recital at The Town Hall, one of the famous New York houses adapted to such appearances, Saturday evening, December 1. He had a mixed audience, of course, said to have been one of the largest that had attended a recital in it. The prices ranged from $1 to $2.10. He must be a real artist to draw to him a mixed audience of 2,000 people and hold them in admiration and continuous applause for two hours. Mr. Hayes did that. The Musical critic of the New York Evening Mail, voicing similar findings of the New York daily newspaper, said: "At this recital he offered a programme that ranged from Bach and Handel to Negro spirituals, and employed Italian, German and French, besides English both pure and tinged with Negro dialect. Mr. Hayes has an unusually clear enunciation, especially, it seems, when he sings in German or an French. "His voice is an agreeable lyric tenor and he is a highly cultivated if not an impeccable singer. His command of half voice—and for that matter quarter voice—is exceptional. On that account, perhaps, he was only too free on this occasion with piano and pianissimo singing. He also appeared found of very slow tempi. His soft, and even whispered, singing was often admirably effective, for Mr. Hayes can sing a true legato (though he didn't always on Saturday) and he can phrase with a most engaging grace." Mr. Hayes now has an outstanding reputation as one of the masterful lyric tenors of the age in Europe and America. Wherever he has appeared since his recent triumphant appearances in Europe, he has emphasized his mastery of his art, capturing his audiences and constraining even hostile critics to "hand it to him." He is so young yet, and he started from such lowly surroundings and had such a struggle to get the splendid education he possesses, that the race can congratulate itself because it can produce such heroes, "who dare and do," and resolutely go on to higher and better achievements, not only in music but in every other high pursuit in which the entrants are many but the victors are few. Commissioner Brown Dead There was general surprise and shock among the well informed upon the announcement from Washington that Phil H. Brown of Kentucky, Commissioner of Conciliation in the Department of Labor, had died suddenly of heart failure on Thanksgiving night. He had been in such fine physical condition, as apparently, that there was not the least expectation among those who knew him that the Angel of Death had marked him for its own hour of relaxation and Thanksgiving. We should never be surprised when the lightning strikes, but human nature is so constituted that it always comes as a shock. And often "the tallest trees in in the forest of the Lord," be come the shining masks for sudden destruction. Newspaper will best remember Mr. Brown as a journalist. His best work in the respect was done as owner and editor of the Hopkinsville (Ky.) Saturday News, which was brilliantly edited. It was through the agenda of this newspaper that Mr. Brown made a large place for himself in the Republican parties of Kentucky and a close friend of the National Committeeman for that State, when it will be recalled, dropped dead in Washington shortly after the inauguration of President Harding. This man, who refused a position in the diplomatic service, it is alleged, as he expected a Cabinet position, was the influence which secured the appointment of Mr. Brown as Commissioner of Conciliation in the Department of Labor, a position created by President Wilson during the World War as the Bureau of Negro Economics, and which Dr. George H. Haynes, a scientific expert in uplift work, a chief, brought to a high pitch of usefulness in his researches. There was great surprise when Dr. Haynes was displaced to make a political opening for Mr. Brown. It is fair to both men to say that Mr. Brown, while he did some notable work, could not keep the bureau up in highly respectable and useful standard which Dr. Haynes had lifted it. Rumors persisted in Washington that Mr. Brown, having secured his job, used the large influence he possessed with Chairman Adams of the National Committee and heads of Department to prevent other Afro-American from being appointed to positions. Like many other Negro office holders, he appeared to have the idea that the best way to have influence with his superiors was to disparaghe the claims of others. We have had many such success in office, not only in Washington but in other parts of the country, and we have a few of them now. When they are all dead, and the need of them destroyed, we shall have more success in politics than we have had and now have. Political leadership among us has grown to the last frazelle, having been stripped of all of the influence it ever had. But what we have lost in the South we seem gradually to be recovering in the Northern and Western states, where we are getting something in politics worth having. There was general surprise and shock among the well informed upon the announcement from Washington that Phil H. Brown of Kentucky, Commissioner of Conciliation in the department of Labor, had died suddenly of heart failure on Thanksgiving night. He had been in such fine physical condition, apparently, that there was not the least expectation among those who knew him that the Angel of Death had marked him for its own in the hour of relaxation and Thanksgiving. We should never be surprised when the lightning strikes, but human nature is so constituted that it always comes as a shock. And often "the tallest trees in in the forest of the Lord," become the shining macks for sudden destruction. Newspaper people will best remember Mr. Brown as a journalist. His best work in this respect was done as owner and editor of the Hopkinsville (Ky.) Saturday News, which was brilliantly edited. It was through the agency of this newspaper that Mr. Brown made a large place for himself in the Republican politics of Kentucky and a close friend of the National Committeeman for that State, when it will be recalled, dropped dead in Washington shortly after the inauguration of President Harding. This man, who refused a position in the diplomatic service, it is alleged, as he expected a Cabinet position, was the influence which secured the appointment of Mr. Brown as Commissioner of Consiliation in the Department of Labor, a position created by President Wilson during the World War as the Bureau of Negro Economics, and which Dr. George E. Haynes, a scientific expert in uplift work, as chief, brought to a high pitch of usefulness by his researches. There was great surprise when Dr. Haynes was displaced to make a political opening for Mr. Brown. It is fair to both men to say that Mr. Brown, while he did some notable work, could not keep the bureau up to a highly respectable and useful standard to which Dr. Haynes had lifted it. Rumors persisted in Washington that Mr. Brown, having secured his job, used the large influence he possessed with Chairman Adams, of the National Committee and heads of Departments to prevent other Afro-Americans from being appointed to positions.

We have had many such men in office, not only in Washington but in other parts of the country, and we have a few of them now. When they are all dead, and the seed of them destroyed, we shall have more success in politics than we have had and now have. Political leadership among us has got down to the last frazelle, having been stripped of all of the influence it ever had. But what we have lost in the South we seem gradually to be recovering in the Northern and Western States, where we are getting some things in politics worth having. Drainage of John T.

West school brings gratification to all of us who are familiar with the approaches to this school during rainy weather. Much effort has been exerted by patrons and interested citizens in the past several years to secure this needed improvement, and at last, it appears that their hopes are to be realized. The Council is to be commended for taking such action at this time, when the work can be completed before severe weather sets in and the children of this school be spared another winter of mud ploughing. We have had an altogether good year at the hands of the city administration, in spite of the many improvements still lacking in our sections; and above and beyond the consideration of the mere fact that this improvement is to be made, we derive a larger pleasure thru the Council's action, because it serves to strengthen the evidence now being manifested in many Southern communities, that the day is not far distant when the lid of the public exchequer will be more easily pried for the benefit of that group of citizens, the of an off-color, add so materially to the South's taxable wealth.

Spirit of the Press Frosperous Durham Negroes From The Durham (N.C.) Morning Herald Some of these days we are going to take time off from our regular work and collect a bit of real and definite information about the part that the colored race in Durham is playing in the industrial development of the city. We know off-hand that the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance company is the largest Negro life insurance company in the world; we know in a general way that there is a prosperous Negro fire insurance company here; we know that there is a large Negro bank here, a couple of building and loan associations, a big Negro hospital, state school for colored, stores and other business, as well as professional, interests. But outside that genre known people are more information than many other many other Durham people who know much more about the business life of the colored people of this city. At least, so far as we know, nobody has collected all this information and brought it up to date.

But outside of the The last issue of the Standard Advertiser gave some information, but it was too general to convey much meaning. Rev. R. Spiller, editor of the Advertiser, started off an editorial which caused us to sit up and take notice, as it threatened to furnish the very information that we sought, but after a brilliant start, it, too, drifted into a list of generalities. We would suggest that Spiller in some issue of his paper in the near future, say, would have told us the facts about what his people are doing here in a big way. It would make interesting reading. For instance, the information furnished in the last issue of the Advertiser that the home office of the N. C. Mutual employed more than 50 clerks had more than 700 filing agents, and had loaned over a half million dollars for homebuilding among the colored people, along the line that we seek. If that relation of facts about that company had been extended further, and had not only given an idea of the scope of their work and influence, but had been carried out in prises such as the bank, the building and loan, the school, hospital, etc., and treated in the same manner, definite information would have been made available for the public.

What was the "Free African Society?" - 1787 Absalom Jones and Richard Allen of Philadelphia led in a movement to found an organization among the Race, the purpose of which was to support one another, and assist idle and fatherless children. This organization was formed without regard to religious tenets, but the persons were required to live an orderly and sober life. It was known as the "Free African Society" and the following interesting clause is a part of one of its articles of organization. It. "We deem it necessary that the children of our deceased members be under care of the Society, so far to pay for the education of their children; also to put them out apprentices to suitable trades or places. 77—Wit whose assistance did Simon Bolivar liberate South America from the yoke of Spain? In 1811 the illustrious Bolivar undertook the great task of shaking off the yoke of Spain, and securing the independence of South America. He fled to Ivory Coast, and was unsuccessful in obtaining assistance he required to Haiti, where Petion gave him a most cordial welcome and assisted him with men arms and money. Bolivar's first expedition with Haitian volunteers was unsuccessful, and he feared last Haiti refuse further assistance but to his surprise Haiti rushed to Bolivia, where he turned his disasters to victory and the spirit of liberty marched on to the redemption of South America. 78—Who was Pushkin?

Found Places of Business on thing to visit an nothing people who gather about different places, get so loud and boisterous that they can be heard by persons passing on the street or by customers coming to the place to transact business before they enter. Or when not too loud, they often show equally as poor breeding by continuing to sit, talk and customers come to transact business with the proprietor. Such conduct constitutes a nuisance, and the sooner the "boss" of the place learns that and puts a stop to it, the better it will be for his business. Many a doctor has lost a good patient who has come near enough to hear or see people leafing in his office, and desiring to see him personally and not being seen, have some other doctor where more privacy is observed. Especially is this true of women. The same thing holds good for all the businesses and professions. A business place of whatever kind, should be used strictly for business and should be kept established and should at all times. A place of business should "cut out" everything but business during business hours. --- Greeting Cards for Christmas NOW ON DISPLAY IN OUR OFFICE You cannot send your friends a more appropriate expression of the Christmas Spirit than a beautifully designed and worded Greeting Card.

Loafing Around Places of Business It is a common thing to visit an office or a business establishment owned by our people and see two or three men who are out of employment, or who may be employed, but off duty, sitting around engaged in a useless conversation, or a moment that attracts the attention of pedestrians on the streets, and people and two or three men who are out of employment, or who may be employed, but off duty sitting around engaged in useless conversation or a heated argument that attracts the attention of pedestrians on the streets, and particularly persons who come in stores or business places to transact business. Such persons may be there because they have nothing to do, or have no other place to go, or because the proprietors them to come in to gossip. Let the circumstances be what they may, it is a bad policy, and poor judgment from a business standpoint. Customers who go to a meat market do not care to see persons standing or sitting around observing their purchases especially women. People who go to a doctor's or lawyer's office, as a rule, go there on private business. They do not want to see anyone sitting around listening to their conversation, or wondering what the trouble may be; and as it is with the businesses and offices mentioned, so it is with every kind of business in which we are engaged. We always prefer to go into any business establishment that no one be present except the customers. We are to do business with, or to make our purchase through. Barber-shops, pool and clubrooms are supposed to be places where men gather to waste their time and engage in small useless conversations.
