BELIEVE FEAT CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED New York, N. Y., May 27—(A. N. P)—The plainly evident need of a greater participation in the affairs of government by the Negroes of America and the intense desire to forge into such a participation are rapidly crystalizing into efforts of the race of this city to send a member of its group to the national legislature. Colored political leaders of here are declaring that the matter of sending a colored man to the national congress at Washington is a feat which can be and should be accomplished and, undeterred by the recent defeat of a candidate for nomination in Chicago, heralded as the city with the strongest Negro electorate in the country, have rolled up their sleeves, decided on a candidate and are offering him to the good pleasure of the Negro voters of the Harlem district in the coming fall election. DEMOCRATS ALERT The Republican party will be called upon to do in the case of the candidate, James L. P. Rumble, what it has failed to do in instances where the Negro in general in this city was affected. Politicians are arguing that the G. O. P. has got to strike out with something worth while in order to entice back into the fold those black Republicans who have deserted and those others who are sitting on the fence. It is pointed out that the Democrats of the state figure to have the G. O. P. on the run for the black vote and that in order to clinch their position have recently appointed three colored men to prominent positions in the state Cornelius A. McDougall as assistant (attributed on Page Six). Young Man is Alleged To Have Assaulted Eight Year-Old School Girl. Kinston, N. C., May 29.—(P. N. S.): Albert Byrd, aged 23 years, is being held in the county jail here on a charge that may cost him his life. Byrd is alleged to have criminally assaulted an 8-year old colored girl in South Kinston more than a week ago. Because of desperate fear of the man, the victim is said to have kept the assault a secret until last Tuesday, when her physical condition resulted in her mother learning the facts. The case was reported to the police and Byrd was immediately arrested, arranged in police court and sent up to Superior Court without bail. It is expected that he will get a hearing in the county court in a few days. A physician's examination revealed the fact that girl was severely, but not fatally injured. SAYS CUTS IN LOWER BRACKETS UNNECESSARY Captain J. D. Wood, of the Wood Towing Company, who is a candidate for councilman in the election which is to be held June 10, to fill vacancies occurring in that body in September, offered himself for the consideration of Norfolk voters on what he characterizes as a platform of "efficiency and constructive economy." After summing up what he believes to be the most vital and most necessary approaches to the adoption of an economy program for the city government, he allows it to be clearly understood that in spite of his advocacy of retirement, he is an exponent of municipal progress "within the means of the city as she grows in taxable property around the government already set up, thus increasing revenue." Captain Wood (according to his platform statements, if elected to the Council, will endeavor to proceed with the consolidation of municipal departments, reduction of forces and the regulation of higher paid salaries where they do not compare favorably with kindred service in commercial pursuits consistent with efficiency and progress. In the lower salaried brackets, which include such employees as policemen, firemen, workers in the street department and others who perform mental labor, Captain Wood declares he is not in favor of reduction in pay, asserting the small saving from salary cuts of these employees would be inconsequential and are neither necessary or desirable. He points out what is implied as the city's already heavy financial burden and states that re- (Continued on Page Six) Wife Alleged to Have Attempted to Conceal Murder of Husband. Raleigh, N. C., May 29.—Robert Basket, tenant farmer near Zebulon, charged with the murder of S. B. Bobbitt, a well-to-do Negro planter and Baskett's landlord, was last Thursday bound over to the Wake County grand jury without privileges of bail by Justice of the Peace, J. E. Owens. The dead man was found in bed on May 5 with his shot gun by his side. His wife, Ellen Bobbitt, stated that the death was due to suicide. A jury convened by Ownes, acting in the capacity of coroner, ordered the woman, her daughter and Baskett all held. Later Mrs. Bobbitt made a statement in jail fastening the guillow upon Baskett, and she repeated her statement at the preliminary hearing last Thursday. She and her daughter were released under bonds to appear as witnesses. WOMAN'S FOOT STUMBLES OVER HUMAN SKULL Excavators Uncover Parts of Skeleton Over Water Mains; Hint of Tragedy or Relic of History Undetermined. Mrs. Maud Whitler, 836 White avenue, made a gruesome discovery Tuesday afternoon, while passing an exavation over the water mains in White avenue, between Pulaski and Chapel streets, when she stumbled over a human skull. The skull was black and resembled the earth removed from the exavation. Whether the color was the result of the effect of some chemical or from age the police have been unable to determine. Mrs. Whitler notified detective Novitzky of her find, who went to the scene and upon fishing around in the hole uncovered other portions of a human body, including rib bones. The detective is conducting an investigation in an effort to determine if the scene was ever a cemetery. Within the memory of the oldest residents of Norfolk it is not known that such was the case. The water mains were laid in this spot about 30 years ago and the parts of the skeleton were found deposited on top of them, indicating that the body was buried since the laying of the pipes. Some people have advanced the theory that the bones may be the remnants of an Indian who rounded these parts before white men out foot here. SABBATH GLEE CLUB, FAMOUS SINGERS, COMING SABBATH GLEE CLUB, FAMOUS SINGERS, COMING Under auspices of the music committee and choir of St. John A. M. E. Church the Sabbath Glee Club of Richmond, will be presented in concert at that church Friday night, June G, at 8:15 o'clock. The Sabbath Glee Club is composed of thirty professional and business men of Richmond and has achieved national fame in its rendition of the classics and Negro spirituals. The club has had the distinction of entertaining large and appreciative audiences under auspices of such prominent organizations as the fashionable Women's Club of Richmond; the Westhampton College Faculty and St. Stephen's Church Guild. The singers have received tremendous applause for their choice renditions before numerous audiences in the Academy of Music; have entertained in the halls of the state legislature, and were especially invited to the fashionable mansion of John Stewart Bryant of Richmond, owner of the Richmond News Leader, to sing for his distinguished guest, the Honorable David Lloyd George, ex-Premier of Great Britain, on his recent visit to this country. After hearing the appealing songs sung by these master singers, the eminent British commented: "That is one of the best male choirs that I have ever heard. I am almost certain it is the best. They are wonderful." Dr. Douglass Freeman, editor of the News Leader, added, "I have not the slightest hesitation in commending the club without qualification, and I assure any prospective audience that to hear the Sabbath Glee Club is to get a new conception, both of the Negro spirituals and of male chorus effects." PETERSBURG PAPER COMMENTS The Progressive Index of Petersburg in its review of a concert given in that city by the Sabbath Glee Club early in May said: "For 90 minutes the Sabbath Glee Club held the entire vast concourse under the spell of its music, matheless, harmony-blended voices. Encores were almost as frequent, and certainly thunderous in volume and spontaneous in recognition of the case, exactness and skill in interpretation of the world famed Negro spiritual songs. The club not only rendered faultlessly the songs of the race, but it exacted spontaneous applause in near volume in its rendition of the classics of the other races. "Everyone, black and white, left the theatre profoundly impressed. Sabbath Glee Club had right royally sustained its reputation as star vocalists in interpreting America's, yea, the world's native music.

P.): Dr. William Watts Ball, head of the department of journalism of the University of South Carolina, complains in a letter recently published in the Sun of this city against the clamorous demand of Americans that Japanese be denied the privilege of entering America while the open arm is extended, in the same manner as to the fairest blonds, to West Indian and African Negroes. The professor doesn't think it just nor reasonable that so much sleep should be lost over the oriental, to the exclusion of the thousands of foreign Negroes who pass our Eastern bars and get a chance to compete against native whites and blacks. He takes occasion to chide the Far West and the North for their unseeming zeal in criticizing the south and its problem of nine million Negroes while getting all "het" up over a few thousand yellow people. According to Dr. Ball, the South gets the worst of it all around, Senator Shortridge, California, being one of the most insistent that a federal anti-lynch law be passed to prevent the South from doing as it pleases in regard to that pastime. DISTRICT COURT DENIES PETITION COLUMBIA ELKS Prayer for Restraining Order Against J. Finley Wilson, Grand Exalted Ruler, Unsustained in Washington. MORRIS BROWN Washington, Correspondent Washington, D. C., May 26.—Columbia Lodge No. 85, Improved Benevolent Protective Order of Elks of the World, was denied an injunction restraining J. Finley Wilson, Grand Exalted Ruler, and Clarence W. Jackson, District Deputy, from suspending the lodge of revoking its charter by Justice Stafford in equity division No. 2 of the District Supreme Court last Friday morning. Upon his refusal to sign an order restraining the defendants, Justice Stafford suggested to counsel that a stipulation be entered into regarding the revocation of the charter of Columbia Lodge and the expenditure of money for a home for indigent Elks. This suggestion was in agreement with the answer of the Grand Exalted Ruler to the petition of Columbia Lodge for the restraining order. Thru Charles S. Hill, his attorney, he denied that there was any suspension or threatened suspension of the lodge. ABSENCE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF The answer sets out that on April 8, 1924, the Grand Exalted Ruler cited Columbia Lodge to show cause for the purpose of getting at the truth of the charges against it and to determine them peaceably in the best interest of the Order; that about April 20, he was called from the city on business of the Order and did not return until April 28; that he was informed the lodge made answer on April 22, but he had no knowledge of this until he received a telegram at Columbus, Ohio, advising him of this suit for injunction, filed April 23. The Grand Exalted Ruler stated that the lodge took advantage of his absence from the city to file this suit within less than 24 hours after having answered the rule. He said that he had not been given an opportunity to study the answer in order to reach a decision. He also cited that the lodge had the right of appeal from his decision to a trial committee, and from the findings of this committee to a committee on appeals and grievances which reports its findings to the Grand Lodge. He set forth that such procedure was in keeping with the constitution, the by-laws and the oath of obligation of the Grand Lodge, to which the local lodge subscribed and agreed to. This suit for an injunction was filed by the trustees of Columbia Lodge. It followed immediately upon their answer to a rule to show cause why the lodge should not be suspended for various violations of the Grand Lodge laws. "Catfish" Held For Murdering Branch The coroner's jury returned a verdict of homicide against Harvey Moore, alias "Catfish", Tuesday morning, in connection with the shooting to death of James Branch in front of a pool room at the corner of Bank and Nichlson streets last week. Moore told the police that he shot Branch in self-defense after the latter had followed, abused and threatened him on account of his refusal to bootleg for him. Branch was shot four times as he sat on a bench in front of the pool room and died instantly. Five shots were fired at him. Moore later surrendered to the police.

Claims He Was Implicated In Many Robberies He also declares that he was implicated in robberies in New York, Mansfield, Ohio, and Lynchburgh, Va. He told the police that he was convicted in connection with a car-brobbery in Lynchburg and sentenced to year in the Virginia State Prison.

After which time he went to Chicago and participated in the robbery of the bank messenger. The o.cials checked upon the story of the man as far as the records on file in the office would permit and placed a charge of vagrancy against him in order to hold him for further investigation. He will also come under observation of the local police physician as to his mental condition. Laundry Explosion Scalds Workers Memphis, Tenn., May—(A. N.

Spencer told the police, and said at that instant everything came dark to him and the spirits told him to shoot. He fired once. The woman leaped from the chair and ran into the street, where she fell unconscious. STORY DENIED Spencer's story is denied by his step-son, Henry Jones, who told the police that he was in the kitchen when his mother's husband came down stairs. Mrs. Spencer said to her husband I know what you got, and I am going out of here, according to the step-son's story. When she started to the door Spencer fired on her, Jones claims. He said he immediately grappled with his step-father for the pistol, breaking open the breech and dumping out the bullets. Thru his attorney, Dan Coleman, Spencer waived preliminary examination in Police Court Monday morning and was held for action of the grand jury.

"All men do not come into this world equal, not do they have equal opportunities after they come here. This is a world of inequality on every hand. Our work here is by no means complete. There should be a place somewhere where man may finish it. There should be a world where are no mysteries; where we shall be able to understand some of the things that perplex man here below and where we shall be rewarded justly according to the life lived here," said Rev. Henderson. After his graduation from Union, in June, Rev. Henderson will become associate pastor of the Roanoke Baptist Church, Hot Springs, Arkansas, during the summer.

AN ANSWER TO MODERNIST PREACHERS By Columbus Maxwell So, they( the fathers), Invented this kind of an HOLY GHOST—"T H E-THIRD-PERSON-IN-THE GODHEAD" KIND OF "HOLY GHOST" (meaning the Holy Spirit. "HOLY GHOST", THE THIRD PERSON IN THE TRINITY. THE HOLY GHOST, is a REAL DISTINCT PERSON In The Godhead"—(Buck's Theological Dictionary). The word "TRINITY" is not a BIBLE word; nor is there in the Scriptures, from Genesis to Revelation, a single word that could be translated by the word "TRINITY": nor is there a single genuine verse of Scripture in the ENTIRE BIBLE whereby the Ne农奢 "DOCTRINE OF THE TRINITY" can be substantiated. The ancient Jews had no such DOCTRINE. It (the Trinity) is not to be found in the writings of Moses, But, Moses writes: "HEAR O ISRAEL: The LORD OUR GOD is ONE LORD. (Deut. 6:4). If anyone can INVENT a DOCTRINE of the TRINITY for the Jews, of what Moses here writes, let him go to it! Jesus did not teach the DOCTRINE of the TRINITY. The Apostles did not teach the DOCTRINE of the TRINITY and there is nothing in the writings of any of the Apostles to substantiate such a DOCTRINE. There is nothing in the SYBOLISM of the TABERNACLE no r of SOLOMON'S TEMPLE to indicate it (the doctrine of the Trinity). NOW, the BIBLE teaches that, there is ONE GOD, JEHOVAH; THE FATHER; that there is ONE SON of GOD, Christ Jesus, the REDEEMER, and ONE HOLY SPIRIT, which I am now discussing under the Query: "BUT, WHAT IS THE HOLY SPIRIT, which I will hope to find and selfforth as the Holy Spirit of the BIBLE. Now, let us see about the "Godhead". If it (the Godhead) fares no better under the BIBLE, SSEARCHLIGHT than the TRINITY, it will be self demonstrative of the fact that, "Othello's Occasion of the Gone." The Translators of our BIBLE were TRINITARIANS poisoned through and through by a "Trinity-Godhead" TOXIN with never a dream that GOD held in RESBVE an ANTITOXIN that would destroy the GERMS of this DIABOLISM with which they have inoculated the MINDS of HIS (GOD'S) people throughout all ages. Let us now see what Foundations, in Scriptures, and in facts they have for their "Godhead." The Translators of our BIBLE, make Acts 17:29 to read: "We ought not to think that the GODHEAD (ho Theios) is like unto gold nor silver or stone." But "GODHEAD" is not a translation for (ho Theios), this word is previously translated by "the DIETY." The passage would then read: "We ought not to think that DIETY (ho Theios) is like unto gold or silver or stone." This same word is again used in II Peter 1:3, 4, and is there translated "divine". II—They make Rom. 1:20 to read: "For the invisible things of HIM (GOD) from the creation of --- --- by noted evangelists of Washington, in the United States and visited Ger- and Africa.

She is well educated she has been endorsed by some of the as being the greatest preacher among are forceful preachers and Bible press is 2210 H. Street, N. W. Wash- FATHER AN ANSWER IST PREACHERS the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His (God's) eternal Power and GODIEAD (Theios); so that they are without excuse." BUT, "GODHEAD" does not translate the word (Theios), but this word is properly translated the word "DIVINITY" or "DEITY". This passage properly translated, then, reads: "For the invisible things of HIM (GOD) from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things which are made even His (GOD's) eternal power and DIVINITY or, DEITY (Theios); so that they are without excuse." III—Again the Translators make Josiasius 2:9 to read "For in him (Christ) dwelleth all the fullness of the GODHEAD (Theotes) bodily." But, the word, GODHEAD, does not translate the Greek word (Theotes), this word is properly translated by the word 'DEITY'. This passage then properly translated reads: "For in him (Christ) dwelleth all the fullness of the DEITY (Theotes) bodily." You will note from the examination of these three passages of Scriptures that the Translators used the word "G O D H E A D" or translate three different Greek words. 1. "ho, Theios," (the DEITY): 2. "Theiotes" (DIVINITY or DEITY); and "Theotes" (DEITY). This is what you will miss the mark THREE TIMES OUT OF THREE! Good for ORTHODOXY! When it comes to MAL-TRANSLATING and MAL-EXPLAINING the BIBLE, ORTHODOXY knows how to so AT ITS WORST! With this, I submit my case on the matter under investigation here, feeling that the same thing has happened to Q-THRODOXY'S "God-head" that would happen to a snow-ball if it should happen to fall into the "department of fire," of "Dante's Inferno." Now, that the "GODHEAD" has been ANNIHILATED BY THE HOLY SCRIPTURES, it is apparent that the (god) of Q-THRODOXY have no HOUSE to live in and, NO WHERE TO GO. "Hear O Israel: Our God Is ONE LORD". Since, therefore, there is NO TRINITY nor GODHEAD ACCORDING TO THE HOLY SCRIPTURES, It Logically Follows. That there is NO THIRD-PERSON-H O LY-GHOST. The questions and answers then which were excerpted from the Catechism of African Methodist Episcopal Church together with the Articles cited from Buck's Theological Dictionary and cited at the head of this paragraph are therefore dismissed with a single phrase: WITHOUT MERIT: NULL, and VOID! "But while he was reflecting on these things, behold! an Angel of the Lord appeared in a Dream, saying, "Joseph, Son of David, fear not to take Mary, thy affianced wife; FOR THAT BEING FORMED IN HER IS BY THE HOLY SPIRIT." BUT, WHAT IS THE HOLY SPIRIT?

The Intercollegiate Baseball Season Drawing To A Close FOOTBALL - BASEBALL - BOXING - WRESTLING PAGE FOUR The Int Basketball - Tennis Sportboard FOOTBALL - BASEBALL By P. BERNARD-YOUNG, JR. Not the least interesting and important events of the third annual Hamilton Track and Field Meet are the performances of the first place winners in several of the events, and the unique record of Captain Junius Langston of the 1994 track squad. In 1922 Captain Langston set an intercollegiate record, which was surpassed by another last year. But Saturday Langston ran his first "440" of the present season and won in record time, or at least in new record time. He won in 51 2-5 seconds, clipping one-fifth of a second off the old record for the C.I.I. A, A. In doing so he helped his team to five more points and the championship. The most distinctive feature, about the career of this athlete is the record which he has set in being captain of two championship teams in one school year. His other championship team was the basketball team. LANGSTON'S UNIQUE ATHLETIC RECORD For speed in running off the meet and for keen and intense rivalry, hard fought races, brilliant finishes, record breaking performances, and everything else that goes to make a track and flick meet a success, the meet of Saturday had no equal in the schools of the Race. Eight new intercollegiate records were made and two interscholastic records were made and one equalled in the progress of the meet. In the intercollegiate events the record for the 440 was broken by Langston of Hampton; the two mile record set by Earl Johnson was broken by Hampton's premier miler, Coles; the record for the 120 yard high hurdles was lowered by W. D. Williams of Hampton; the shot put record was broken by Hampton; the discus record of Howard discusses throw record; while Edward Taylor of Hampton through deligent and intelligent practice, set a new mark in the javelin throw of 149 feet and 9 inches. The high jump record was smashed by a quarter of an inch by I. Young of Morgan College. In the pole vault, Stephens of Hampton established a new record of feet. On the whole the meet was the event of more shattered records than any previous meet on record. In the scholastic class two records were broken and one equaled. Richardson of Shaw Junior High of Washington was easily the star of the high school athletes. He has a smoothness of action, and a stride that is superb. His only fault in a general way is the fact that he seems content to win only, when he could have made record time. As it was he lowered the 100 yard dash record by a fraction of a second and came in an easy winner in the 220 yard dash. He has great prospects as a runner, and with proper development will soon be among the select on the track. His performances were wonderful, but he was by no means the only outstanding person among the follows. Miller of Dunbairn High, Burton, Croppe, and several others 'came in for a great deal of honor. Croppe established new poli vault mark in the scholastic event. The accompanying article reports the performance of the athletes in general, but this column would like to mention two other performances of the meet. In the mile and two mile races, Coles, of Hampton, ran two of the headlies and most thrilling races to take place on Armstrong Field, and that is saying a lot. He would not break his stride, accept a challenge to sprint, or attempt to win his race in the first lap. Instead he raced on and on until the final two hundred yards and then with a burst of speed, he won. In the relay race one of the surprises of the meet was furnished. Lincoln was confident of victory and most everybody had the feeling that she would win, but with a fight of course, Lincoln never led. Howard led from the time Craft made a St. Paul runner and gave his team mate a long lead. Strickland of Lincoln came to within a yard of winning, but the lead was too great. "There is an old saying that if never rains, but what it pours." What fact was amply demonstrated all over the country last Saturday. What the elements did was the creation of the wind and sand storms, the fastest schoolboy spinner, in the world, to be unable to be tested fairly for a record in the century dash. With the stage all set for an attempt to equal or break the world record for the hundred yard dash. Hussey had to run against a veritable gale and sand storm, and, on account of, the weather, in his sweat shirt. Even under these conditions he ran at 10:30 second and won easily for the fourth consecutive year. His victory fame as expected gave him a huge sixth championship, many years. This boy is the fastest schoolboy spinner in the world and one of the fastest run- 'ners living, if not the fastest. And he is a Negro. To prove, that with other things equal, he can equal the world record. we give this: Hussey has won every race he has entered in this year. In only three of them has he been timed over 10 1-30 seconds. His slowest time has been 10 3-10 seconds—and that race run against a gale. He has been timed in a fraction over nine seconds, and in New York. He ran a 9 3-5 second race recently and the record was accepted by every member of the A. A. U. except one. For that reason in the recent Public School meet of New York City, the most efficient timers of the A. A. U. and the secretary of the A. A. U. were present. They were present because they expected Hussey to do what we expected him to do: To prove that he could run as fast as any other man, and that color is no advantage or disadvantage. Will Compete With The World's Fastest. Hussey's next appearance will be against the fastest men in the world in an Olympic tryout. He will toe the mark against such speed demons as Murchinson, Bowman, Clarke, LeConey, McAllister, and many others. All of these runners have and are able to run in two seconds flat—which is, by the way, the speed of greased lightning. This tryout comes on June 7th. The elements may be more favorable on that day. With Hussey tooing the mark either he will win or the record will be broken or equalled. We All Believe In Hussey. This is not a conviction born of a faith in a Race lad solely. It is substantiated strongly by records and performances. If Hussey crosses the ocean and returns a victor, we will not be surprised. And we are not the only persons who believe 'in' and respect the speed of Hussey. Some thousands or so of our white friends, who are sometimes hard to convince, also believe in Hussey. Starters Withdraw To Other Events. All starters, who may have had a chance to win had not Hussey been entered, withdrew and entered in the 220-yard dash. Any race in which Frank is entered, as is good as won—at least, that is what his opponents believe, and they are not far wrong. Eric Dawkins, three years ago the 100 and 220 yard junior dash champion of N w York known as the "Colored Streak," has the honor of losing the first race Hussey ever won. It was an impromptu affair staged in the street soon after Hussey in his own gym class. Hussey ran away from the then junior sprint champ. Dawkins has stopped wondering how he did it. Dawkins in his running. *was* noted for his smoothness. He set an indoor junior for the 220 yard dash at 24 1-5 seconds. So you can see that even in Hussey, *infancy* he did not have a snail.

An I was a likely find two. Then he sez, before giving me a chace for a verbal retaliation. "If you will listen to my instruction, I will make you a blooming good scraper an we can cash in on the long run." Well, I was about to cash in then, cause I was craving to look a dime in the face. So sez all right lead me to it. We jumped in his boat and we filled the imported affairs with four breaks. Oh boy! she rode good. He could step on a dime an have nine cents change to snare.

S.) the game between Rutgers alumni and the varsity baseball teams is expected to be one of the most interesting events of the commencement week, as it will be played on Commencement Day, June 14. It will be held in the afternoon at 3 o'clock, and a large crowd of alumni and relatives of the graduating students have signified their intentions to be on hand. The alumni team will be made up of former stars who have kept playing in a regular competition. Their number will probably be Walter French, the great football and baseball star, who transferred from Rutgers to West Point and was a sensation with the army. Another who will play for the old grads is Paul Robeson, the great athlete, four-letter man and Phi Beta Kappa man, now an actor prominent in New York through his portrayal of villains characters. Born O'Neill's of New York, Robinson is great favorite at the institution and it is said that his presence will be cause for a large crowd. For particular People. Velmont Hair Dressing.

Great things are expected back kiddelkid things are expected of him next year. Captain Langston his season's team is expected back school next year, along with the other athletes, is expected to perform just as brilliantly as this ELKS HOLD THE SAINTS AT BAY The Elks' baseball team of Portsmouth met the strong aggregation of Saints of Bellville Industrial School Sunday, May 25, and routed them by a 10 to 8 score. Joe Crump started the game for the "Hello Bills" and pitched nine innings. He was relieved by "Subway" right who stopped the thwarted push of the saints and held them at bay. The feature of the game was the stunt of "Smiling" Rosebud, in the eighth frame, with the bases full and two outs and two stilkes on the batter, the batter landed the old pill in centerfield, ran at full speed and caught it off his toe. In the ninth inning with two outs, no one on base, a batter sent th bail to rightfield and James Foy made of it a sensational catch.

Queen Street Elects Mayor mony with marked pomposity and grave dignity. It has been, for quite a spell, a consensus of whistling opinions that were members of the Queen street were the popular characters in that district. The discussion became so heated after it had reached the maximum Farenheit degree, that the big ones decided to nominate candidates and elect the most popular one the mayor of the street. The fight waxed strong throughout the preliminary proceedings nominees were: Joe Leary and "Kid-Ram" eminent figures of the street. When election might rolled around, it found the campaign handlers with everything in readiness. The polls were the same as used in any other primary election. The voters turned out in full numbers to do their stuff for the mayor. Some came out merely to lamp the situation over, which would give them food for burping the man, who was high-hatted. The voting got underway and after the smoke of battle "had died away," the Honorable Joe Leary emerged the victor by seventeen votes. PRECINCTS AND WARS In the landside the Hon. Joe Leary carried Queen een street, Queen's court and Grant street. Queen's "Ki-Ram" was most popular in Church street, Fox lane, Proeschers court, Franklin court and Fifth street. The latter had more precincts and wards to draw from, but apparently the former's district was more infested with the non-tax payers and voters causing him to win by such a majority.

With everyone expecting Hampton to wind up her athletic season with a win over Shaw, the heavens opened up and the rain fell, and the game was washed out during the last half of the second frame with Hampton at bat and leading by one run, the only run made in the part of the game that had been played. The team did well. Before the time for the game and then went away, only to return and remove all hope of playing the contest that was to have wound up the season for the Hamptonians. Hampton scored one tally in her half of the first chapter. Captain Jackson reached first on the right field's error. Jackson out on out, while Jackson added to second, stole third, and came home on Gunn's single to score the only run in the shortot battle. Some of Hampton's team will be lost through graduation. Those men she will remember as having their best for their Alma Mater, point of forgiving to the front next year and having a team that will make opposing teams fight for victories. Huntington & B.

Corbett, former world's heavyweight champion; said: "If Tiger Flowers, the Georgia flash were white he either would he mild dieweight, champion of the world, or as kingpin aspirant, would he degaying huge purses for his every ring appearance. But Flowers is Negro. The greatest of all fighters, he color, the color line, pretext and Flowers must fight for sums of about one-tenth of what, he would get were he other than dark-skinned." Tiger Flowers has proven to be a sensation in the squared, circle and all of the good ones are giving him a wide berth. They do not seem to want any of the Georgian's business. He has fought himself out of a job and there's nothing for him to do, but seek bouts. The whirlwind, as he is dubbed by some penwilders, is trying to get Mike McTigue, the light-heavyweight, to Harry Grob, world's middle champion in the ring with him. Tiger is willing to give up his end of the purse just to get either of the two champions in the same ring. Tiger Flowers is considered to be one of the most picturesque figures in the ring today and one of the most remarkable fighters. Corbett also said: "If ever there was perpetual motion in human form, it is the whirlwind of Atlanta, whose trio of victories in New York, in the last six weeks has given tremendous prestige to Georgia as a fight-producing State. The scrapping middleweight is a southpaw and hits the heams around 164. Flowers' case is somewhat like that of Joe Woolcott, the black terror, who weighed around 150 pounds and made things go hot for the welterweights of that time that he was forced to go out of his division to fight other men. Woolcott did not stop at the next class above, but defeated men throughout the heavyweight division. He licked Jack Chosny, who once put Jack Johnson a way. Flowers is now doing the thing. It's impossible to met him of his height to the sing with him. He fought and whipped men from 105 to 256. The 160 pounds, both white and black always added the Georgia Tiger. Flowers made his debut in New York, after a year of effort to break in, against Lee Anderson. The 182 pound who had knocked out Kid Norfolk. Flowers chopped Anderson to ribbons and won every round by a good margin. His wonderful showing we saw the blase Anderson the critics went into superlatives concerning him. LICKS GO ONES In the last year or so Flowers has met and beaten some of the best that could be found. After whipping Anderson, he returned to New York in two weeks and whipped Jimmy Darcy and Ted Jamieson, who had defeated Jack Renison. Jack Renison, former partner of Jack Dempsey and is considered by the critics as a promising scraper. He has been rising by leaps and bounds to the top of the pugilistic ladder. By the time Flowers accomplished this, incredulous New York had lost its incredulity, and one of the greatest bowers, one of the highest hitting and highest middleweights that ever dropped the middled hits. LOCAL SPORT COMMENT From all indications, Battling Sessons is not satisfied with the lacing he received at the hands of the steward at night of the 17th at St. Helena Reservation. He is plannig to make arrangements for a return bout with the gentleman who rocked him into the land of Nod. His iire has been stirred on account of his poor showing with the Kid and he believes a return fiasco will tell a different tale. Far be it from us, the scribes of hastiness to know whether or not he will be able to weather the storm. Apparently he is bubbling over with confidence. In fact he was bubbling over the first time. A return engagement may prove to be all right. From his view point, but it is doubtful whether or not it would disturb the inquisitiveness of the followers of the game. Fans may journey to see it, proclaim it, proclaim it, as a feature bout it would no doubt receive the ballyhoo and the royal rattle. A good way to make it of interest to the fans, would be for Sessoms to meet Wilson on the street and settle his grievance. It would draw a good gate. It has been learned that George Washington will come to Norfolk in August. Smiley Smith is a Norfolk boy and has made good in the fight game in New York. The Battling Sessoms and Kid Wilson better give this boy a wide berth. He knocks 'em dizzy, ranged 'neverything else. He packs a wallop like an armor helmet and is wielded in the manner of using it. A few weeks ago it was stated in this column that the First Baptist Church provided tennis courts for boys of the Sunday school. Instead, the classes provided the courts and pay for the upkeep of them. Thanks. JOHNSON, JR.

Tennis is by means an accident. By far it is not that. It is the results of the tribal desire for combat in certain desirable physical activities. It has passed the stage of being a game for the idle rich. It is played by the poor, the rich, the old, and the youth of the human race. Apparently tennis has the distinction of being created in the mind of some individual or individuals for a definite purpose, that is for the personal benefit of the participants. It should not be a game that is planned from the standpoint of the onlookers. It should not be intended as a game exhibit skill and aid, and be fundamental to form of musculature, the recreative type, which is greatly needed in every day life. Teenis should supplement and not supplant other very necessary, forms of physical actions. It should not be an end in itself, but a means of helping to develop the finest type of physique the world or race has ever seen. Teenis allows plenty of精力 for individual initiative and ability, the strongest type of constant demand for team work and this. This is one of the valuable products, for it is of investible value that one should learn early in life through practical experience the superlative advantages of working in close harmony with others in seeking to reach desirable objectives. Another of the great advantages of tennis is found in the realm of character training. From the very beginning, tennis is the sportman's game, conceived and perpetuated in the ideals of clean sports. Of course, there are a number of challenges, these being up to, that but is due to those who ignore and violate the rules of true sportsmanship. Grand races and knives will be found in all sports. In a sense, all athletic games are simply modified forms of war combat. Low ideals are left over from the war. Members of the Tidewater Tennis Club will not leave any stone unturned in trying to maintain the true ideals and sportsmanship for which tennis was intended. They have already provided the means by which their members can oppose or derive the benefits of learning how to be a true and clean sport. Games are one of the most potent factors in character-training known to man. Life itself is a game and the athletic field is a laboratory for early learning. In learning how to play the game, it is not that you won or lost, "But how you played the game." SAM LANGFORD'S OPTIC RESPONDS TO SCIENCE WILLEY A. JOHNSON, JR. The vision to SAM Langford's right optic was temporarily restored when he visited the office of the specialist in charge of military offenses, an attempt to save the bronze warrior's sight. Langford's admirers of Los Angeles got enough ducats to send the fighter to New York for the treatment and he immediately wended his way to the doctor. According to statements, Langford said he has not received anything but kindness since he was a child. A number of his old time followers sent him cheeks and cash with their sincere compliments.

"The Boston Tar Baby" has been the guest of Joe Woodman, a veteran matchmaker, during his short stay in the metropolis of Woodland. Woodman managed the fighter and said, after Sam's elation over the prospects of his sight being restored, "I know the doctor had worked wonders in his first treatment, but I was certain of it when Sam pointed out a big red oil truck. It was good to hear the old fellow laugh with joy. Say, he had me swallowing a dozen cookies. He has it. Just I didn't believe that you could bring so much happiness into a man's life. It's worth while, well worth while." According to the specialist, Langford's eye may be saved without any cutting, however he will do whatever is necessary to save thatailing member. Langford expresses his desire to fight Firpo and Battling Siki. He said he them with him, like a tickle on his skin. He hitting them on the jaw makes them come faster," he said. "Skii must be funny and I would like to tickle his funny ribs some." he added.

HIGH SCHOOL SAGS; WISITORS TAKE THE GAME Booker Washington tried vainly to check the stem of the tide, but after Huntington began new rhyme wars he devised the necessary runs to clinch the title. GOOD PLAYS BY BOTH TEAMS Pitchers of both teams traveled the distance well, but the Huntington moundsman had the better of the box duel. In spite of the fact that the game was replete with wild heaves and a bit of loose playing at times, it was exceptionally good. The boys put up a fight be fitting high school youngsters. Mayer, playing second for the visitors, starred when he got a hot twisting one under the arm from the bat of Ross. Taylor brings in first tally for Washington when a wild throw was made to the catcher pasting him in the optic. Boyd shoved across another often. The mad for runs napped High School four in the second and third periods. Huntington settled down to business and would not yield another tally until the eighth and in the meantime they had tied the score. It seemed to be coincidental every time Johnson got into a hole, Elliott, of the visitors was at bat, a man that the local hurler had little or no difficulty in disposing of. When Huntington got two rushes in the first half of it to forge ahead the game was settled then and there.

The records of the Preseciting Attorney's office will show that Miss Perkins has won more criminal cases during the last two years than any of the other eight hundred lawyers in Franklin county. Of the 800 lawyers, 20 are colored. Miss Perkins is the daughter of John H. Perkins, a local barber in Shawnee, a mining town in Perry county where she was born. Her mother died when she was fourteen months old. Mr. Perkins reared and educated his six children himself. She was a graduate from the Findley High School of 15and four years later from the collegiate department of Wilberforce University. After leaving college Miss Perkins took up the study of stenography and became an expert court and convention reporter which she did for sixteen years. She also made complete abstracts which were never questioned by the Building Loan Associations of Columbus. She studied law during her spar time in the office of the late Judge H. B. Earnhart who had the distinction of being one of the best criminal lawyers in the middle west, and was admitted to the Franklin County Bar June 1, 1919. Place of Business (Continued from Page One) men were failing, he showed an undanny ability to succeed, his businesses growing in spite of numerous reverses. He was known as the backer of sporting enterprises, as well as for the cafes he had conducted in this city and in Atlantic City during the last 40 years. At one time he was the financial backer of Jack Johnson, and he financed in large measure most of the colored baseball teams of the city. At times he was interseted in politics, he being a Republican or Democrat as his mood or business interest dictated. He could always be counted on to sway his followers. OF A KINDLY NATURE Much of his influence was attributed to his kindness. Scores of people who had been able to lend and get tid.

Motor Wilkins had only recently been married to Miss Caroline Sparrow. She, at the time of his death, was in Lakewood, N. J., where she had gone just a few hours before her husband was shot. She returned immediately. Besides his wife, Mr. Wilkins is sur- vived by a full brother, Leroy, two half-brothers, Charles and Edward Herrick, and two sisters. The funeral was held privately Wednesday. Interment was made in the Brooklyn cemetery. Mr' Wilkins' full name was Baron D. Ware Wilkins, the interesting theory now being that that his first name was after the barons of the English nobility, he having later changed it with the addition of an "r." He is said to have left Virginia between 35 and 40 years ago. --- Candidate for Council Pledges SaneEconomy (Continued from Page One) trenchment is always an unpleasant task, but adds, that Norfolk has no choice.

I hear a persistent chewing sound. Edgar Connor and Edgar Martin in "Shuffle Along" "Say,'Half Pint,' Did You Ever Reside In Kokomo?" The conciliable election in June will be non-partisan in so far as politics are concerned. On account of Norfolk's form of government the party affiliations do not engage the attention of voters in choosing their legislative officials. The merits and demerits of the respective candidates as believed by the voters constitutes the main question. Ror that reason, especially, all qualified voters in the city of whatever race, creed or denomination are expected to vote their preferences for councilmen. Edgar Connor in "Thuff "Say, 'Half P Ever Reside Yep, Here They Are—The Two Edgars of "Shuffle Along." The Tall One Is Edgar Martin and the Short One Is Edgar Connor. Those of our readers who have seen "Shuffle Along" will feel like they want to "bust out laffin'" the minute they see this picture, for it recalls to their minds one of the funniest parts of the great show which has become famous around the world, and which you must not fail to see when it plays within a hundred miles of you. The Race has reason to be proud of the histrionic ability evidenced by the "Shuffle Along" Company. This company has been playing to packed houses for nearly four years. It was one of Broadway's greatest successes and is now on tour of the United States, with probabilities of going to Lofdon and Paris. The patronage has largely been among the whites, and while the prices for seats are considered high, they are cheap by comparison because "Shuffle Along" is positively the funniest show ever seen in America. Edgar Martin and Edgar Connor have a great part. Mr. Connor is variously known as "Shorty" and "Half Pint." They are modest gentlemen and deprecate the statements made by some critics that they are the life of the show.

BIBLE DRAMA MONDAY NIGHT (Continued from Page One) Spice and zest will be added to the performance by superb music, vocal and instrumental and costumes featuring the day and times of King Ahasuerus and Queen Esther. These costumes alone create a striking interest in Bible history and hold one in reverent attention while the appealing and almost sacred lines are being said. The downfall of the Prime Minister and the promotion of the gate-keeper to the premiership is a striking scene in the play. In fact, the story of Queen Esther unfolds the triumph of a true God over idolatry. The drama has a special appeal to women, for in it is depicted the heroism of their sex even in the ages when they were enslaved to the opinions and caprices of men. The cast includes: King, Mr. Jas, Queen; Queen, Mrs. Laura Bowman, Haman, Mr. Chages Brooms; Zeresh, Mrs. Nora Sykes; Mordecai, Mr. Weldon Brace; Leah, Mrs. M. O. Perry; Salome, Miss Alice Blacken; Sara, Mrs. Rosa Harris; Harbora, Mr. Richard Nesbitt; Hatch, Mr. Robert Wilson; Flower girl, Miss Theresa Sykes; King's Guards, Messrs. C. M. Alexander, G. W. Bullock, William Johnson, Banjamin Northington B. Johnson; King's Herald, Mr. Ernest Bowman. Persian Merrymakers, Mesdames Willie Peacock, Viola B. Bowe; Mary Mackey, Emaline Parker, ty, Esther Morris, Thelma Bracey Misses Naomi and May Bell Chari- and Theresa Sykes. Court Ladies: Messdames Annie Robinson, Maud Smith, Rosa Davis, M. Jordan; Misses Georgia Smith, Annie Jordan. Pianist, Prof. Willie Peacock; Directress, Miss Carrie Bellamy; Manager, Mr. F. E. Puryear; Sergt.-at-arms, Mr. Robert Harris; Secretary, Mr. N. E. Sykes. The diectress, Miss Bellamy, is a graduate of St. Augustine School and during her period of teaching devoted considerable time to dramatic art. She is admirably fitted to direct such works as she undertakes to present in "Queen Esther." Practically all of the members of the cast have been seen in dramatic presentations in local churches and theatres on various occasions and have a natural propensity for acting which gives them the ability to excel in amateur work. Under the intensive training they have received from Miss Bellamy for "Queen Esther" the public can be assured of witnessing one of the best performances of this nature ever seen in Tidewater. Sabbath Glee Club Famous Singers Coming June 6th (Continued from Page One) The Richmond Times-Dispatch in a news review of the concert given by the Sabbath Glee Club under auspices of the Women's Club, November last said; "The Glee Club is under the direction of Joseph Matthews, who is indeed a natural genius. The training which the club has received is entirely his, and even the most unmusical person, who hears this club must immediately realize the excellence of this training. Its thirty-odd members sing together in perfect harmony, in perfect time, in perfect rhythm. There is no accompaniment, for the haunting minor tones of these voices and their weird melody cannot be reproduced on the piano. All the paths, all the tragedy of their race is in the singing of these wonderful melodious old spirituals, and all their deeply religious feeling. "And, besides, there is a wonderful resonance of tone, a marvelous shading and flaring of notes, and an almost heartaching tenderness from the ringing deepness of the basses to the high tremolo of the tenors. "Richmond has in this Sabbath Glee Club a unique musical organization, an done of which she can will be proud. It is perpetuating an invaluable art, almost entirely lost. One cannot imagine a more beautiful program than the one which the members of this club gave at the Women's Club yesterday." The bringing of this club which has received nothing but the highest commendation from music critics of note, vast audiences and eminent people, is hailed as conning admirable progress in the appreciation of the best music by Norfolk people, especially the masses. -o doubt, after hearing the Sabath Bleege Club sing at St. John Church Friday night, Norfolk people will feel deeply obligated to the committee whose efforts will have made the presentation possible in this city. St. John Church has a great seating capacity and a tremendous audience is expected to pack it to the doors.

The sessions will be held in the First United Preyhistorian Church, Princess Anne Road. The opening meeting will be held in St. John Church. The program will be announced later. Mrs. Janie Porter Barrett is president and a large gathering is expected. The Federation of Women's Clubs has for its purpose the securing of harmonious action and co-operation among all women in raising to the highest plane home, moral and civic life. Among the special accomplishments of the Virginia State Federation has been the purchase of 147 acres of land at Peake, Va., and the establishment of the Virginia Industrial School; raised for that institution $10,000.08, and for other worthy causes $1,197.00, besides having, done some of the most effective uplift work in Virginia. The Federation has projected itself extensively along the lines of racial co-operation, the school at Peake being a splendid example of such co-operation. On its boards of directors are both white and colored members. Norfolk is expected, to give these prominent and earnest women workers a genuine welcome to the city and extend to them its cordial hospitality. A Chance To Win A Phonograph The New York Recording Laboratories, manufacturers of the Paramount Phonograph records, is offering to members of the race 100 valuable prizes including a beautiful console, two other high quality phonographs, and a number of choice Paramount-Black Swan records. Competition for these prizes is open to every colored man, woman and child in the country, and it doesn't cost one cent to enter the contest, nor are there any fees or extras. "Ma" Rainey, a Paramount star, and "Mother of the Blues", has just recorded a wonderful song for the New York Recording Laboratories which is said to represent her crowning achievement in Blues singing. The "hit" is said to be so good, the record manufacturers are at a losso t give it a name. "Ma" Rainey herself did not name it. She suggested that the public be allowed to name her latest and best Blues. This the company has consented to do. They have simply numbered the new record 12200 and is distributing it, under this number to the public, who is asked to play it over in their own homes on their phonographs and then suggest for it a suitable title. The title is to be sent to the makers, and may win for its author a beautiful phonograph. Full instructions on how to enter the contest are found in Paramount advertisement on page 11.

Church South. The Bishops' Council of the M. Church South in seas- t at Nashville at the same upon being informed of action of the Northern Methodists sent up a shout and their congratulations. Also there appeared bright use of a unification of the Methodist bodies. The early years breach was about healed. Newspapers died these choice bits of as the forerunners of a wraea in Methodism and, in- evidences of advance- ment of Thy Kingdom on orth. but the Northern Methodists adopted one resolution of their conference which seemingly has proved to be the in the ointment. They enforced the Dyer Anti-lynching bill after a spirited wrangle. This action of the Northern Methodists has served to place Bishop Warren A. Candler, senior shop of the M. E. Church youth, squarely on record against unification. The Northern Churchmen meddle into political affairs, declares the venible bishop. They have not several committees to Washington in support of this that measure, he asserts, have endorsed a bill enforced the Dyer Anti-lynching bill which is unconstitutional and aimed directly at the truth. The Bishop follows with a strong statement against unification which he claims could be troublesome bifurition. It is plain that the color question, altho eighty years old in the Methodist Church, is still the leading obstacle to infestation. If Bishop Candre expresses the sentiments this fellow churchmen of the truth, one can imagine what bitter wrangle would have issued over the anti-lynching resolution before a united conference of the North and wings of the denomination.

To off this new attack the mar --- If the South is unprepared to concede anything at all to Northern sentiment and opinion on the race question, it would be better for all concerned that the Northern M. E. Church and the M. E. Church South to remain forever separate and distinct. There is nothing the Negro race might hope to gain thru an united Methodism should the South go into the union with prevailing sentiments, like those held by its senior bishop and the determination to persistently defend them. The South's views on the color question are changing, it is admitted, but the process is, indeed, slow. And instead of this sentiment toward the Negro being made more wholesome thru a unification with the Northern Methidist, there is great danger of Northern sentiment toward us suffering a contamination that might easily prove a great hindrance to race progress. The Dyer Anti-lynching Bill is aimed at the South, says Bishop Candler. It is probably this thought that disturbs his conscience more than the alleged unconstitutionality of the measure. Even the the bill may be conducive to orderly functioning of the laws of the country; even the it may hold possibilities of reducing mob law, it is aimed at the South and the prestige of the South is greater than the lives of a thousand lynchred black men and lynchred law, is the apparent opinion of the senior Bishop of the South. A SERIOUS INDICTMENT In every profession, vocation and calling there are those who are a slotch upon the ethics or standards of those professions. But there is probably no profession on earth in which one of its bad members can be of more real injury to the public than the ministry. Another minister filling a North Carolina pulpit, the Rev. Charles Hudson, of Raleigh, admits the impotency of the law, the church and public sentiment, in suppressing what he characterizes as immorality going on in his city and calls upon the Ku Klux Klan to rise up and purge his community. Rev. Hudson's assertions, besides bringing against the lawfully constituted authority of the Capital of North By BEN GOODLOW released me and turned to Floyd. Floyd struck out with his first while his body was still in the air—struck in the middle of his spring. The man could not dodge the blow. It caught him on the neck. The impact was sickening. He turned a dirty yellow color, his eyes rolled back in his head, and slumped sprawlingly to the walk. Floyd falling over his body, unable to stop himself. "In less than alf a minute the street was thronged with angry men. They came from everywhere. They seemed to rise up out of the very ground. There was shouting and cursing and tumult. Floyd and I were in the very center of the milling throng. We fought shoulder to shoulder like tigers. Then some one struck me and I knew no more until I regained consciousness in the back roof of the little barbershop. Frightened men and women told me what had happened. The mob had beaten Floyd terribly after he had become haunted, and then they had locked him up in the county jail. In some way I reached home. Maisie was with me. She was in a worse mental state than I was. She broke down completely, while I tried to brave. For the next several hours, excitement reached the dangerous point. It grew apace when news was disseminated that the man struck by Floyd was dead—stone dead. Floyd had broken his neck with that one terrible blow. I fully tell describe the I cannot accurately night that followed. Everytime I think of it the horrors seize me. It haunts me, haunts me, haunts me. I used to fear it would drive me mad. But I have been brave, very brave. For hours that night beginning with sundown, the riffraff and scum of the community paraded the miserable streets. They filtered then Niggertown like skulking wolves. They prowled through the alleys, congregated on the corners and cluttered the roadways. The fear of death and blood and fire and destruction was in the air. The tension 'was the tension of hell itself. No one can describe it. Not even those who have been through the furnace themselves, can describe that horrible feeling. In every shack and hut and house in our district good people were Norfolk Journal and Guide Carolina a most serious indictment, clothes the Ku Klux Klan with a power of wholesome supergovernment surpassing in ability to suppress crime all other legal agencies. Rev. Hudson in a sermon Sunday night is quoted as having said: "I am not a member of the Ku Klux Klan. I do not know anything about the Ku Klux Klan, but if it is what it says it is, they can and must save the citizenship of this community. They must see to it that every scoundrel is brought to the law and punished for his crime. "I believe that the law is willing and ready to do its part, but it is not able. "I do now call on the Ku Klux Klan, if they can help us, and I would not blame you if you should take a man out of an automobile and beat the hound out of him. "The Ku Klux Klan can remedy this thing, and I call on them to do it." No attempt at interpretation of the motives, policies and practices of the Klan need be included in this review to point out that a few ministers the like of Rev. Hudson are far more dangerous to Raleigh or any other community than the immorality which he artigans. Even if the klan should be entirely blameless of every stigma charged against it, the Raleigh minister would still be grievously in error in publicly calling upon it, or any other agency outside of the legal machinery of his city to handle a situation of law transgression. It is time that this minister lay aside his vestments and step out of the pulpit—the supposed shrine of the consecrated—if he feels that both law and gospel are ineffective agencies of good in Raleigh and join, publicly, the Ku Klux Klan, which he avers not to be a member, and start on a crusade of night-riding and terror spreading. Rev. Hudson's sympathies for the klan are his own. This review does not attempt to question them, but it, with all law-abiding citizens, questions the right of any man in public life to urge law enforcement thru means outside of the law itself. Immorality is a blight upon any civilized community, but neither it or any other form of lawlessness, should be delegated to lawlessness for a correction. bowing their heads in devoted supplication to the Father in Heaven. It was a night never to be forgotten. "It was near midnight that we heard the firing of pistols and rifles. The firing was accompanied by the distant sound of tumult and the pack howls of the farious and vicious mob. I was ill in my bed. I was in a terrible mental state, but on hearing the clamor I got up and dressed and rushed out into the night to go to the aid of my lover, who needed me. Maisie, who had not retired, saw me and tried to detain me. We fought, so mad was I to get to Floyd. Then she saw that I was determined to go, so she followed me. Confused, half-crazy, spurred on by something unseen and unknown, we scurried and scuttled through the darkened streets and alleys until we reached a point where we could gaze upon the scene. Huddled on the ground praying, locked in each others arms, two helpless, hopeless women who could not aid the men who we loved, two women denied every protection and safeguard, that should be ours, who looked on the red scene and saw hundreds of men plying the trade of murder and wilful destruction of property. They danced and howled and raged like the slimy and horny imps of hell on a holiday. We saw them batter and smash down the doors of the jail. We saw them ruffle the sheriff's hair, slap him on the back, pull his hat down over his eyes, pinch his ears, vote him a square sport. Minutes seemed to elapse—minutes crammed with the sound of strife. They came out. They had caught Sampson. He fought them in a way that they would always remember. They had guns, billies, clubs, ball bats, and black-jacks. He had his bare hands and his man's heart. They numbered into the hundreds. He was one. Yet he fought them and fought them and fought them. His last dying action was a blow and a kick at a leering face. Right there in the jail lawn they murdered him. "How we ever got back to the house I do not know. An angel must have guided and guarded us. And all that night I tossed on the fiery cinder floors of Purgatory while the man I loved—my fiance—lay stark and still and bloody—wrapped in the chains of death—with only the fading stars to keep vigil over his body. NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, MAY 31, 1924 life and death. The one morning I heard a plaintive little cry at my breast and looked down into the little face of this child—my Elvyd's child! "I'll mention here that the murder of Floyd Darrow was scarcely a nine days wonder. No questions were asked, no investigation started, and no arrests made. The papers merely nibbled at the story. Some of them ignored it altogether. They did not even hint that he died because he was man enough to fight for the woman that was to be his wife. They did say, that he died game, died fighting, and snarling like a tiger, spitting out his hatred in the faces of his murders, but that is all they said. "Now that my child was born and Floyd was gone the road was strewn with rocks and boulders for me. I did not meet with sympathy from any one. Folks wept over the soul of Floyd Darrow but they cursed the memory of the woman that had been his during his life time. That he was dead they ceased to heap contumely upon him. It is characteristic of us to pay hallowed respect to the dead. We did not accord me one sympathetic word. Even my father would hurry a parrot when approached, a thing to be censored and scorned. Only Maise and Floyd's mother played the Good Samaritan. For his sake they loved me. They treated me humanely. They did by me as Christians should. But it was impossible for me to live on their bounty and goodness forever. I had a child to support. I had myself to feed. I had responsibilities. I needed work, wantle it, and searched for it, in some instances I found work—the kind I liked. But always the poison on tongues would wag. It got so that nobody in Bradshaw wanted me to work for them. That was a calamity. Without work, no poverty-stricken person can survive for long. With this thought in mind I decided to leave that town for good and all. I had never known anything but unhappiness there. Why remain? I consulted with Maise but she did not want me to go. We had along talk. Finally I convinced her that there was no other way out. But she insisted that I should leave the child with her. It would be impossible HOLY LAND CONTEST DRAWING TO CLOSE Winners To Be Announced On July 1. Five Weeks More For Final Sprint. Indianapolis, Ind., May 21—The offer made by the Madam C. J. Walker Mfg.

June 30. Addresses Mixed Group On The Garden Pier Atlantic City, N. J., May 27—Neval H. Thomas of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People addressed a large group of more than two thousands of the other race on the Garden Pier, Atlantic City, New Jersey, on Monday evening. A group of whites who attended the mass meeting on Saturday desired that he give the Negroes' viewpoint to the meeting of Whites. Mr. Thomas entered the Pier amid thunderous applause and gave the Negro's message on the Klan, segregation, and all of the other handicaps under which he is laboring. The vast audience signified approval by frequent outbursts of applause. Congressman Siegel of New York also addressed the meeting. The question of segregation is agitating Atlantic City as it is in many other Northern communities, with many Negroes falling in line with the segregationists. It is the first time that a Negro has been invited to speak on Garden Pier. Units of the 92nd Division were trained in the following camps: Camps Mead, Dix, Upton, Sherman, Dodge, Grant, and Funston.

So I let her have little Floyd, promising to send money for his keep at regular intervals, and to return for him at sometime in the future. "Story writers say that mothers do not desert their children. In my case I could not figure any other way around. I did not call it desertion: I did not mean to desert little Floyd. I only wanted to be with me. Jobs seemed was wrapped up in that proposition. I had no thought of, gayety, pleasure, or good times. I was not seeking happiness. My happiness died that night on the lawn of the county jail at Bradshaw. All that I was seeking was a living—an honest living. "First we went to Atlanta. From there I drifted on and on until I reached Memphis. From there to Louisville. From there to Chicago. From Chicago here. I did not have a hard time. Good luck seemed t obe with me. Jobs seemed plentiful—good jobs. The farther North I came the more money I received for my wrok. When I arrived in this city I was beginning to feel that there was something a woman could live for after all. "Then, my husband, I met you. You were different from any man that I had met before. You were not handsome—for I have seen handsome men; you were not better dressed—for I have seen fashion plates; you weren't smarter—I have seen the world's best smart ales; but you were different in some way that I could not apprehend. It seemed to me that the fates had ordained that you should be the holder of my future happiness. It was not a silly romantic sentiment that caused me to regard you as such, for I was no longer a foolish little school girl guided by the guazy threads of romance; I was a woman with a woman's unconquerable soul—of that is, I thought that it was unconquerable. "You were so wise, so good, so gentle, so sympathetic that I could not help hunger for your protection and love and pleasure. I learned to worship you. You taught me a love that was new and thrilling and heavenly. I had loved Floyd, but this new love that you whispered into the ears of my hungry soul was so vastly different that I was hypnotized. My whole life was changed. I was made anew. I was exalted. In my wonderful passion I forgot my poor little baby. I forgot the tragic story of Bradshaw, I forgot the early struggle and misadventures. I forgot everything. I only remembered that you were the greatest man in the world to me. (To be continued.) Glimpsed Along the Way NORFOLK DISTRICT NEW TEST FOR STRW-BERRIES In several cases where our way-faring girls were arraigned on charges involving being not of good fame, the defendants were able to explain to the satisfaction of the court that they earn their living by honest toil thru either presenting strawberry tickets or naming the fields in which they last picked the delicious fruit. Policemen declared that these girls plied trades of picking "suckers" from the streets, but in one instance the girls were armed with the little pasteboards marked "so many quarts, so many cents, with the name of the grover." In another case the girl did not possess tickets, because she said she worked in the capping plant and not the fields. Policemen will find it difficult to make out cases of vagrancy as long as the strawberry season is on and the accused can get ahold of the pasteboards. Early corn in Norfolk and Princess Anne counties is being stunted by the rain and cool weather. The young plants are turning yellow. The weather has not, however, effected the city supply of "corn", other than probably create for it a steady spring demand. Regarding the bootlegging situation opinion seems to be at last turning in the right direction. It is being discovered that the source of the evil rests in the buyers. Of course, that is not information. Any of the regulars around the streets of Norfolk have been in possession of that fact ever since prohibition came. Concerted effort is being made to stamp out the traffic in Norfolk. To be effective the drive must be directed at the buyers, who include church folks, society folks and common folks, as well as the sellers. Of late, a number of instances have come to light where grown persons have CHILDREN been arrested and AS A CLOAK charges ranging all the way from disorderly conduct, bootlegging and immorality preferred against them, when young children were discovered in the houses where the arrests were made. The presence of these children, sometimes babies, have been used to give the accused persons a cloak of respectability. Judges, policeman and even the public find it di-cult to believe that a home where young children live is being used as a house of prostitution. The thing so outrages one's sense of decency and love of the young that it is actually hard to believe. For that very reason it happens often that a case which will hold before the courts is not made out, but whether the people who resort to this heinous practice are legally convicted or not, practically everybody will agree that children are living under an awful influence when the grown-ups in the house are brought before the courts on charges of immorality or bootlegging. A case was heard in Police Court this week in which the complaining officer stated that on a previous occasion he had made an arrest of the same woman on a similar charge. She was freed on account of young children being found in the home, he said. This week she was convicted. There have been several other similar instances. It is a sad condition and presents a problem for social workers. that every seaport town is infested with them. Yes, he has encountered them in Norfolk many times, he said. They do not resort to gun play followed by the polite command of "stick 'em up." Their methods are so much easier. The only arms they carry are a quarter of an inch of face rouge well packed on, painted eyebrows and an affected smile. Instead of "stick 'em up", a pleasant "hey oh" is substituted. Often not even this introductory expression is used. It may be just a slant of the head and a broad smile. They are far more merciful in entrapping their victims than their hardy gun-toting sisters. But when a victim is, once led to the slaughter the relieving is no less drastic. He seldom gets away with the price of a beef steak. However, he has the cohesion of so tenderly that he never runs to having been relieved so gently and the police with his story. Rates reduced in keeping with time.

LOUIS DRIVE Will Be the First City in the Country to Have Two Modern Y. M. C. A. Buildings for the Race. The colored citizens of St. Louis participating in the Three Million Dollar Y. M. C. A. Development Campaign, went beyond all prey records in their subscriptions When the final reports were compiled on Friday night, May 23, the total stood at $125,838. This set a new high-water mark for the paricipation of our people in philanthropic enterprises, and will stand for years to come, as an inspiration to them in all future financial projects. Two things stand out in this Campaign. First, the colored citizens were an integral part of a big city-wide effort. There was no Negro quota assigned, but, instead, the Negro citizens were asked to join with all of the citizens of St. Louis in raising three million dollars to meet the common needs of the city. From the very first committee meetings, the race group was represented. There were members of our group on the Big Gifts Committee and other functioning members of the campaign as a whole. This situation held good throughout the campaign down to and into the noon-day report lunch-cones. St. Louis is to be congratulated in taking this forward sten in recognizing the manhood status of our men. The second outstanding feature of the campaign is the denomination of the gifts. One of these gifts was for $25,000 by Mr. and Mrs. Malone. This, of course, established a new record for an individual gift. Other gifts were in denomination of $2500, $2000, $1,000, $500, $250 and so on. There were one hundred and twenty gifts of $250 and over. The funds secured from this campaign will be used in the erection of five new buildings in various parts of the city. One of these buildings will be erected west of Grand avenue in the rapidly growing celered section of the city, and will be given wholly to the use of colored men and boys. This will make St. Louis the first city in the country to have two modern buildings for colored people. In addition, the extensive extensions will be made on the present building at Pine and Ewing streets. The third feature coming from the campaign will be the establishment of three Boys' Clubs in congeated sections of the city. DANVILLE, VA. Danville, Va.-Mr. James C.

VIRGIN ISLANDS DELEGATION IN UNITED STATES Proceeds to Washington to Urge Passage of Legislation Granting Citizenship to Natives Here And on Islands. New York, N. Y., May 24—The Virgin Island delegation elected at the recent mass demonstrations in St. Thomas to appear directly to Congress to pass the bill granting the Islands a permanent for of civil government, arrived here on the St. Porto Rico island will be presented Washington within the next few days, it was announced by the Virgin Islands Committee today. The delegation consists of Octavus Cato Granady, for the Island of St. Thomas; Ralph J. Bough, for St. Croix, and Frederick Gurty, for St. John. The bill whose passage they will urge grants citizenship to Virgin Islanders and the United States, and provides for a civil government similar to the one in Porto Rico. The overwhelming majority of the natives are opposed to "government by naval officers who rule the islands as they would a battleship," according to Mr. Granady, who is chairman of the delegation. "The local press and a number of mass meetings virtually repudiated the Colonial Council for its recent opposition* to Senate Bill 278 granting the islands a civil government. The people of the islands are not citizens of any country; and they are not citizens of any country." The franchise is so limited that out of 22,000 inhabitants only 800 have the right to vote, which is granted on the basis of property and income." Mr. Granady is a native of the Virgin Island who was educated in the United States. He is a graduate of Howard University and for some years practiced law in Chicago. In 1917 a few days before the Virgin Islands were taken over by the United States, he returned to St. Thomas, where he has since been active in the navy as a civil governor. Mr. Granady organized St. Thomas, the first in American history. The eighteen members of the Colonial Council represent the property holders and the naval executives only, according to Mr. Granady. Of these eighteen, five are appointed by the governor and most of the others are either relatives or friends of R. L. Merwin city council, and head of R. L. Merwin and Co. Mr. Granady stated that the five government appointees and the Merwin faction, representing the merchant element, act as a single combination and dominate the legislature. "The Virgin Islands are the only American possession with the exception of the United States subject to military rule, though 98 per cent of the population can read or write English," Mr. Granady added. Hampton Students Present "Taming" Of The Shrew" Hampton, Va., May.-Shakespeare's famous comedy, "The Taming of the Shrew," was brilliantly presented recently in Orgine Hall, Hampton Institute, by the Shakespeare Dramatic Club, a student organization, which has made a careful study of stagecraft and highgrade dramatic literature. The role of Katharina, the shrewish, oldest daughter of Baptista, a rich gentleman of Padua, was played with dramatic quality and with keen insight into human nature by Gladys H.

Stonington, Conn., who showed the power of newly-found obedience in a world of strife. This Hampton student was as furious and untamed as Shakespeare depicted "Katharina." She was also as mild to her lord and master after a long, long siege, as Shakespeare wished "Katharina" to appear. In costume, voice, and stage presence, she was thoroughly excellent. The Association will inaugurate a campaign of education directed to the housewives of America, featuring the wholesomeness of Evaporation. The Association will distribute a billion quartz of milk each year in tin cans. "Petruchio," gentleman from Verona, who deliberately set out to win " the prettiest Kate in Christendom", though the way was as rough and stormy as any student of human nature could have predicted, was played by William H. B. Sapp of Brunswick, Ga. It has taken more than thirty years of painstaking effort to bring this method of marketing milk to the present high state of perfection. The new, handy, sanitary, tin can packaging of milk is a tributing of milk of the best quality to millions of homes, combining purity with freshness and high quality with lowest possible cost. Mr. Herbert C. Hooks, well known throughout the milk industry, and a member of the committee representing the industry, in the Food Administration during the war, has been selected to conduct the activities of the new Association. Complications due to disguises and wagers added interests to the dramatic action. The principal characters were ably supported by well-trained minor characters who added to the picturesqueness and sprightness of the Shakespearean comedy, which reveals deep insight into human nature that changes so slightly from age to age. Mr. Hooks has been active as a manufacturer of Evaporated Milk since 1906 when he became identified with the Hires Condensed Milk Company at Philadelphia. Having served in all the departments of a rapidly growing business, Mr. Hooks became General Manager in 1911 continuing until 1918 when the Hires Company combined with others to form Nestles Food Company. He recently resigned the treasureship of this company in order to administer the work of the Evaporated Milk Association. The students, through their committee on costume, scenery, and property, and through the cooperation of friendly advisers, made "The Taming of the Shrew" a production of artistic and dramatic value. They spoke their lines with distinctiveness, accuracy, a n freedom. The play was given inactive acts and ten scenes. The staging was kept carefully and nevertheless a carefully planned that it gave a fine background for the period costumes and the fine acting.

Beautiful Girl Reveals Secret Once my hair was anything but long and silky soft as it is now, and my complexion was sallow, and there were often unsightly pimples on my face. One day I heard of Exelenta Quinine Pomade for the hair and it was almost immediately it stopped all dandruff, made my hair grow long, soft and fine, and gave it a delightful sheen. Because of the perfectly wonderful results I obtained from Exelenta Quinine Pomade, I purchased a new skin Beautifier. It changed my sallow complexion to a clear, lovely skin, glowing with health. For pimples and other skin blemishes, it has no equal. If I am as beautiful as people say, it is all due to Exelenta preparations.

AGENTS WANTED EVERYWHERE Write For Particulars NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE James Weldon Johnson Writes to White Press Relative to Colored Man's Crime. New York, N. Y., May 21—A letter sent out to white editors of St. Paul and Minneapolis, Minn., by James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, has eased racial tension in those cities resulting from the commission of a series of assaults by a colored boy of low-grade mentality according to a report to the National Office of the N. A. A. C. P. from the St. Paul branch. In a letter to the N. A. A. C. P. Dr. V. D Turner, Vice-President of the St. Paul Branch, writes: "Everything seems to be getting normal in St. Peter's. The letter is by the Association to揍 the puppies here was effective and shows what organization can do." The letter sent to the white editors by the N. A. A. C. P. was as follows: "It is to be hoped that a crime committed by a degenerate or a mentally defective will not be visited upon law-abiding and industrious citizens of the same race; for mental defectives are to be punished aroused and apprehended and committed to an institution often commit the most atrocious crimes.

Address, MANAGER OF THE BAY SHOR DUCKROE, BEACH 100 Val 1st Prize "We realize, of course, that the commission of crimes creates uneasiness among all classes of citizens. That is a time for firmness and a good common sense to arise, but that the best traditions of citizenship and the harmonious co-operation of white and colored people may be strengthened rather than a weakened. I am sure the colored people of your city will want to see full justice, meted out to any member from their community, and other race who has made himself amenable to the law." "I am moved to write to you inasmuch as we have received reports that because of a crime alleged to have been committed by a young colored man, other respectable and industrious colored people of your city have lost their positions and feeling against them for the worse. We are informed that the man accused of the crime, although 24 years old, has the mentality of a child oil seven or eight years. "Needless to say, colored citizens are as horrified as white people when an atrocious crime is committed and are equally eager to have the guilty person apprehended. It seems - to colored people hard, however, that because of a crime committed by some men the police could not remember they could not remotely be held responsible, hard-working and thoroughly decent people should be made to suffer.

Certificates (not receipts) should be applied for when purchasing tickets and should be given, immediately upon arrival in Philadelphia, to Walter F. White, Assistant Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., who will present them to the railroad's agent for validation. Unless certificates are applied for to Mr. White, the reduction of one half the amount of the return fare to delegates and visitors cannot be granted. Only persons obtaining certificates will receive the benefit of rate reductions. Persons meeting the Conference may thereby obtain certificates in order to help obtain rate reduction for delegates coming from distant points. Bedtime Stories The Lincoln News Service THE ELECTRICAL ENGINEER When the train stopped the Pullman porter informed the few passengers on the sleeper that on account of the freight wreck ahead we would be held up several hours.

After explaining my lack of expert knowledge of the game I consented to take a hand, and after all a round introduction, (we were all strangers to each other) we started a game that I shall long remember because of the general conversation rather than the excellence of the playing.

But along came the automobiles and the auto-trucks, which cut into our passenger traffic and played have with our light freight and express business, until 15-day many of the electric inter-urban roads in the densely populated states are on the verge of bankruptcy."

At that time, it was the best paying railroad in your state, and it held the record for the least number of trips made behind the scheduled time, which was rather fast. This record for splendid service, however, was largely due to a colored man, Jones, who is an expert electrical engineer, and who was, at that time, the chief "trouble-finder," whose opinion on motive power was also the last word with us. He had graduated from one of the best technical schools in the land, and when we sold to your committee, we advised the gentlemen to retain his services because we looked upon him as an electrical genius.

Use the record play it - send in your suggestions! Records Like These Have Mada Purportation Supreme in Race Plead Say, "What are the wild waves saying?" Anyhow, the race is going very strong in baseball of its own. The Afro-American Republicans of Indiana have been given a Klan candidate for Governor and the thing is so unexpected and unusual as to make them see double and stagger in the way they should go. There are only 166,000 East Indians in South Africa, but they are making it so interesting for the 1,500,000 whites, as workers and traders, that there is a determined demand by the whites that they be segregated or deported. There are 6,000,000 Native Blacks and they rather sympathize with the East Indians, as they are treated in much the same way as the East Indians. The East Indians, like the Japanese and Chinese, know how not to put all they make on their backs and in their stomachs, and they know how to work as well as save. That makes them dangerous competitors to white workers and traders. The National Democratic Committee has begun the campaign to elect their candidate for the Presidency by selecting Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi to be temporary chairman of the June Convention, in New York, and to pitch the Democratic keynote of the campaign. Senator Harrison and Senator Heflin, of Alebann, are among the smallest and most bothersome of the Democratic statesmen of the times. We much doubt that they should be classed as statesmen. They are entirely sectional rather than National in their mental attitude. Senator Harrison is a very small statesman, and incapable of striking a keynote that will in any way appeal to the best thought of the country. Our Bishops Throw Off Party Shackles The Afro-American people have been shaken in their old political faith by the outspoken opinions of both the Bethel and Zion branches of the African Methodist Episcopal Churches, in General Conference respectively at Louisville and Indianapolis. They are the two largest and most influential organizations that we have in the Methodist group. They have been among the most loyal and devoted Republican partisans in the Nation. They could always be depended upon to hold fast the Republican shibboleth when others shuffled and slid. In fact, they have been so pertinaciously partisan as to produce a scandalous situation in more than one Presidential contest. Our advanced political thinkers have always been regarded with suspicion by our bishops and ministers. But our bishops and ministers have seen a new light. Contempt and bad treatment by the leaders of the Republican party have made them to understand that there has got to be a change of policy on the part of those leaders if they wish the good will and support of our thoughtful members in the future. That is as it should be. Those who help win party victories are entitled to enjoy the benefits in common with other partisans of such victories. But our partisan allegiance has been a one-sided arrangement ever since the downfall of the Reconstruction governments of the South, some fifty years ago, and the party has benefited enormously at our expense. It has promised much and done little. It is natural that reasoning creatures should get tired of any such arrangement. At the Indianapolis Conference, the Zionites denounced the action of Congress for excluding the Japanese and urged immediate passage of the anti-lynching bill and the Coolidge administration was blamed for lack of interest in the race and enforcement of the war amendments. At Louisville the Bethelites went further; they denounced in the name of the Board of Bishops the shortcomings of the Republican party and advised the race to act independently and for its best interests in all of the states, and promised at once to begin to practice what they preach. Mr Charles E. Mitchell of West Virginia and Mr. W. H. C. Brown of Virginia, members of the Federal Virgin Islands Commission, were on hand and influential enough to get an endorsement of the Coolidge Administration by the Lay Delegates. THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE believes in the Republican party and in Republican policies, but it is bound to say that the Bishops of both the great Methodist bodies have interpreted and expressed courageously the feelings of the masses of the race towards the Republican party of today and its shortcomings. If the party leaders do not amend their ways they will suffer for it in the November elections, as the race is in no mood to be further juggled. President Coolidge Overridden by Congress The final test of sentiment in the Congress on bonus legislation came last week when the Senate, by a vote of 59 to 26, passed the Insurance Bonus bill over the President's veto. The vote stood for overriding the veto, 32 Republicans and 27 Democrats; to sustain the veto, 17 Republicans and 9 Democrats. It is noteworthy that both Senator Glass and Senator Swanson of Virginia, voted to sustain the veto. It is estimated that the bonus legislation will cause a deficit in the current public revenues for the first year of $295,000,000. President Colidge has thus far been beaten in his efforts to reduce taxation, by confining appropriations within the estimates furnished for maintaining the Government, and there are yet, other schemes pending which will be vetoed or become law over the President's veto which call for vast appropriations and which will greatly increase Federal taxation, which is high enough now. It is a fair statement of the case that a vast majority of the people want the war taxes reduced and are in sympathy with President Coolidge, and that they are not with the Senators and Representatives in the Congress, who appear reckless in their efforts to buy reelection in November by vast appropriations of public monies for questionable purposes. We believe the people will resent at the polls this recklessness by punishing those responsible for it. We believe the people will sustain President Coolidge and rebue those Republicans who have crippled his efforts to reduce taxation and to administer the Government economically. The Republican majority in Congress shows in the vote on the bonus bill the same division and demoralization it displayed in the Ku Klux Klan investigation in the position it maintained on the anti-lynching bill and in its action on the Liberian loan. The party is without effective leadership in Congress, and by refusing to sustain President Coolidge's wise policies, shows that it will have troubles aplenty in the November elections unless an effective leadership is evolved out of the June Convention at Cleveland. Three New Bishops It is creditable to the good sense of the African Methodist Episcopal Bethel Church, in General Conference at Louisville last week, that it elected three of the best men in that connection to be Bishop. There was as usual a very large number of aspirants from which to choose and there was the usual danger of electing some who could not measure up to the high standard of the office of a bishop, as has frequently happened in the past, to the injury of the Church and the good work in which it has been engaged. In the election of Dr. A. L. Gaines, a popular pastor of Baltimore, who has been a prominent aspirant for several General Conferences, Dr. J. A. Gregg, president of Wilberforce University, and Dr. Drverdy C. Ransom, editor of the Church Quarterly, the Conference selected the three men most deserving of the high honor. It is no disparagement of the other two, to single out Dr. Ransom as the most outstanding and best known of those elected. He is one of the most brilliant orators the race has, and he has displayed a high order of scholarship in the conduct of the Church Quarterly. His election will please a host of people in his denomination and out of it who know and appreciate his solid manhood and splendid work as a preacher and as an editor. He has withal been consistent in all good works for racial unlift and betterment. The African Methodist Episcopal Bethe Church and the race are to be congratulated upon the selection of three strong and deserving men to be bishops. Briefs and Spices People who crave a career are usually so busy providing they don't have time to start one. Some men get old and retire from active business while others get old and acquire active rheumatism. Prohibition in America is a great success, if you happen to doubt in the least that statement just ask any bootlegger. One reason why the modern flappers are a coming success is their faces aren't enameled so they are not very careful about cracking a smile. It is indeed a peculiar coincidence to have two Butlers in the headlines, one for prohibition and the other against. But that's American style a la carte. After the American team had won at rugby during the Olympic games in France, the bands began to play and during the hoisting of an American flag, press reports say, the French hissed and booed terribly. 'Don't blame France. Sherman was right.' In granting a bonus to veterans of the late war Congress after five years of successful maneuvering against it, settled many direct differences of opinion. The thing that stands out is, will the bonus put the pain in campaign. IN MAY There's a thundering, hush! Form the clouds that rush Floating like a whirlwind o'er the plains.

Norfolk Journal and Guide Spirit of the Press Disagreements Essential To Progress From The Wenton Chronicle Much criticism has been directed at Dr. W. E. B. DuBois because of his criticism of Mr. Marcus Garvey. Much criticism has been directed at Dr. Garvey because of his criticism of Dr. DuBois thus, there has arisen a third school of criticism in mission of which is to describe the first, law. criticise the first school of the critics of the critics, is distraught with shame that Negroes of so great prominence as Dr. DuBois and Mr. Garvey should find fault with each other. They third school fears that neighbors overhear the quarrel and so find out that all is not harmonious within. Members of the third school gesticulate excitedly, grimice expressively, making signs for the other two to quiet themselves and put on their best company manners, lest they be caught throwing mud into each other's face. "It would never do for outsiders to know we can't get peaceably together," they whisper. "What would our white neighbors say? We are not we could agree nothing ourselves? We are all Negroes looking for the same thing: why not fight together instead of one another? Here are logical questions. They may be logically answered. First of all, the black group in this country would be composed entirely of perfect angels or else of perfect fools if every man, woman and child in it agreed on all questions affecting the group. Since the group is composed wholly neither of perfect angels nor perfect fools (although we do believe it possible that a perfect angel may be a perfect fool) we may as well confess that there certain inevitable questions which, in nature, are to always disinspire. The question as to whether or not American Negroes might be below our empire by emigrating to Africa live in such a question. Especially why should every Negro in America be expected to live in perfect and tranquil accustomed to his neighbor? Especially why should every Negro be expected to think as his neighbor to agree fully with his neighbor? Is it because, the Negro being persecuted, "they ought to stick together"? Yes, this doubt is the reason. But so long as Negroes are human, actuated to quarrels, love, hate, fight, work for certain emoluments, by impulses and similar to those which actuate other men to vent natural emotions, just so another on all matters. One may as well expect water to run uphill of your force, or a stone to fly skywards if loosened on the earth, as to expel zealous accord men. But I Irish do it," some will cry and I Italian do, and so do other racial groups. Yes? They do nothing of the sort! They differ. They quarrel. They fight. Sometimes, on those matters known as fundamentals, they agree "for the good of the clan," but, so colored folk, for that matter. How beautifully we stick together on the question of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill! How well we worked together too for clemency for the condemned soldiers of Houston. Oh yes; Negroes can agree, and they will agree—on some things. But no one should expect, in births: thoroughly dissimilar from the rest of children in childhood environment, shaped their mature lives and Barry to agree on hardly anything. They are too human for that. With respect to the human qualities, neither differs from the Irish or the Jew. Both may be somewhat selfish, somewhat egistical, somewhat prideful and vain; but who is altogether unintended with these qualities, even if only slightly? Disagreements are essential to progress. When men agree amiably on all matters, complacently accepting one another's stagnation without dispute, then be alert for stagnation! Pricidity of views, self satisfaction, confidence and decadence. As long as our men disagree on big questions we may be safe in presuming that they are thinking for themselves. Follow Caucasians! We rise in defense of the white race. It has been grossly insulted; its power and dominance have been called into question. A regretable tenacity to question Caucasian supremacy has long been manifest in this country, but it has now burst out with dangerous virulence in the once honorable State of Virginia. The facts are these: The State of Virginia has long held it illegal for white persons and colored persons to marry. Recently this law has been enlarged and expanded. At the present moment, in the interest of something called "racial intimacy," it is unlawful in that state for a white person to marry any save person for a white person, or person with no other admixture of blood than white and American Indian. For the purpose of this act the term "white person" shall apply only to the person who has no trace whatsoever of any blood other than Caucasian; but persons who have one-sixteenth or less of the blood of the American Indian and have no other non-Caucasian blood shall be deemed to be white persons." In order to carry out this law a state-wide system of registration has been established under the Virginia bureau of vital statistics. Every man and woman and child is urged to fill out a blank giving his name and the 'color' of his parents and the signature of a physician willing to witness to the truth of his statements. A misstatement is wade a felony. A person need not register, but he may not obtain a marriage license unless all those acts are performed. Japanese people other Mongolian and Malay races, are under the ban as well as Asiatic Indians and persons one-eighth or more American Indian. Caucasian blood boils in our veins as we read these lines. What they mean is this: If John Alogiusius Jones, free, white and American, marries a person with the smallest imaginable fraction of any non-white racial strain—one-eighth or one-sixteenth or the square of any of these fractions all the way to infinity—his off-springs will be Chinese or Negro or Hindu or Melanesian, and all the fractions of white blood put together cannot prevent it. Before the darker races the white blood surrenders. A single Chinese ancestor eight generations back in a family of Virginia merchants is more polite, more determining, than all descent groups, and the persons greatest great-great great-great great-great-great-grand child will not be allowed to marry any Virginia grandchild of solid white ancestry. Woll, fellow- Caussians, how about it? Are you willing to admit that all the blood of your race cannot absorb and dissolve and obliterate a single drop from another racial stock? Are you willing to believe, on the contrary, that that single drop will absorb, dissolve and obliterate all the white blood that flows in your veins? Is Caussian blood thicker than water, indisputably we turn to the registrar than the State of Virginia to inquire: Is Negro or Chinese or Melanian more potent than 16 or 32 or 65 or 4,096 white men? Is one pure white man, not equal to the smallest imaginable fraction of any other kind of man?

Paul Robeson is the New Dramatic Star From The Hotel Tatutter The statement is accredited to Daniel Webster, the great Massachusetts statesman who threw away the Presidency as the matchless Hail Clay of Kentucky did by flirting with the numerous Slavs Power of the times, that when a young man complained that the profession of the law was overcrowded, he smashed his argument by the simple statement that there is always room on the top. That is a wise saying and by Daniel Webster did not say, if Daniel Webster did not say, if away affection. It applies with equal force to all of the activities of life. That is the reason why the lower reaches of such activities are always crowded with aspiring, or greedy, or impoverished persons, who hold each other down in the effort to reach the top, as Dr. Washington's crabs in a boat will not, I can't get up you shall not, and none of their strivings.

The injurious of the unfortunate dead and mainned ranged all the way from slight cuts to crushed chests and took their toll from both passengers and employees. A news item from Raleigh, N. C., states: "So badly smashed was the forward passenger train, the fatalities occurred, that the last of the dead were not removed until four hours after the wreck." Having traveled many times in a so-called "forward passenger coach" over the same route upon which the smash-up occurred, the writer feels qualified to venture a brief description. Such coaches are usually half baggage and half Jim Crow, the latter half of which is again added to children "and a non-smoker." The fatalities listed above, which were meted out through a responsibility which has not yet been fixed, beset an engineer, some firemen, an baggagemen and an Negro passengers. Not one single white passenger was a victim of the catastrophe, which we presume, some may say, an act of God. Whether it was act of God, an accident, or the proximate result of some one's negligence, we may never know. But we do know that a makeshift passenger coach, one-quarter of which carries baggage, one-quarter of which carries colored smokers, and one quarter of which is exclusive for colored women and colored non-smokers, passes its purpose "first-Rate" as it is rank of discrimination as can be found anywhere in this country. Quite naturally, the fatality list, crowded with the colored victims of discrimination, is as unequally comprised of racial victims as were the accomodations for all who rode the Seaboard train into North Carolina, with the safety riding and comfort, the African rug in jersey and discomfort in a baggage coach next to the engine. When, in a dissenting opinion of a high justice, before whose court the question of public rights had come, he said that public rights do at times become clothed with a preponderance of public interest, that it is of all that all that the justice is dispensed to all, an utterance of logic was set loose which contains the law and gospel of the North Carolina tragedy. The Jim Crow fatality list above proves the substance of that logic. Some day, some how, the Jim Crow coach, if it must remain, will be remodeled look like other books and the baggage will have full space, taking off of "First," passengers some of the shocks, the fatalities, and the horrors of wrecks which exact their toll principally from the downrotten.

Gilpin as a new dramatic star with a black background, and we were all proud of him and his splendid achievement, although we could have no admiration for "The Emperor Jones," in which he starred, the play outruging our sense of the morals and proprieties. With us, instead of the play being the thing, Gilpin was the thing. He made the reputation, and he has the reputation, and the race has the benefit by Today the same critics are acclaiming Paul Robeson, who also has a black background, and he has also shown that the actor and not the play is the thing. There is plenty of room on the top for both Gilpin and Robleson, and we can well have a few more of them in the same place, and are destined to have them. The race possesses in large measure the gift of music and song and drama, the opperior, we are bound to unfold in these respects as the bud gracefully blossoms into the flower. We have our own theatres as training schools and as we are perfected in these we shall be called to the white stage as well, with assured standing with our own and others. And what a glorious race the race has made the stage, on its own stage and the stage of the white people, in Europe and America. "On with the dance. Let joy be unconfined." A splendid future is before the race, with a most promising present. gro constituents, word ha is come that the white Southern Baptists have told the Northern Baptists and the National Baptists that they are going to solve their Negro church problem in their own country, state, they will have none; and that all well-wishers are to stay in their own backyards. Now, in deepest respect for the Baptist church, and, in fact, for all churches which believe in the forgiveness of sin and the immortality of the soul, if there is any one thing that the Baptist church believes in, it is that "we must be born again". Hence, it is a bit difficult to group all of Baptists, groups or South, who would permanently turn a deaf ear to conciliation. If those who speak for the parent body insist that they have given their last full measure of devotion to a solution of those "problems" which have arisen within the confines of the Church regarding their religious "brethren" of African descent, then a more glimpse at the grove church wards which are existing under the parent body's organization is sufficient, we think, to repel that insistence. Financial liberality is not enough. Soul harmony, we think, is what is most needed. An immersion in the virtues of brotherhood would, in our humble opinion, add to the efficacy of being born again, and a conference upon such a possibility is much desired, we think. Quite contrary to the announcement of the Baptists is the announcement that a colored woman has been elected to the National Y. W. C. A. Board, not because she is colored, but because she understands the pledged aims of that Association, and can aid the National Board in its supervision. No finer, more capable woman than Elizabeth Ross Haynes could have been elected for the Christian service which she is now called upon to perform. She stands human needs and human desires in a very definite way; (we work from personal assistance with her) and those two elements are often far, far apart, a sensible coordination between them within the Y. W. C. A., and concerning the things which it promises to accomplish is one of the crying heeds of the great organization that it is. Mrs. Haynes has a wonderful opportunity for a wonderful work. We wish her well. Horace Greely's famous advice to "Go West, young man," seems to have found a present-day atheism in the silent call of New England for sturdy, honest, industrious men and women to "Come Storm, swell the ranks of New England's and advance the protection of her products. The factories of Bridgeport, South Norwalk, and other Connecticut points, to say nothing of its tobacco fields; the busy life of Providence, R.

Half unconciously but very perceptibly, the colored population of New England is growing by leaps and bounds, and profitable employment at good wages is not difficult to find. Good air, good water, good ground, and good treatment are entices of many who have roving ideas, and, innost instances, when New England WHAT NOT BY ROBERT (Pot A. 116.

When the war broke out, Harriet Tubman, whose activities in the Underground Railroad earned her the cognomen of "The Moses of her people," secured a letter from Governor Andrew M.

With this appointment went a written order to all federal commanders, military, and naval to give her all facilities, transportation to the furlough of her duties and to should see them. What Negro was buried side by side with a famous American Navy Officer? In the War of 1812, Commodore Lawrence, commanding the U. S. S.

"Little Portugal," (New Bedford, Mass.) is busily absorbing a goodly supply of foreign labor, and other points are usually receptive to newcomers. To the "brethren," however, New England offers freedom seldom equaled elsewhere—a chance to develop, to grow, to live like men and women, to rear children in the wholesome atmosphere of Christianity, to school them in America's finest educational institutions, private a and public; and last, but by no means least, to depart this life sustained and comforted by a faith not forcefully daunted by fear. Truly, to "Go East," if one would go somewhere, is not the least desirable route that could be chosen by a struggling human, who, who helped, didn't want to be bihin. At worst, it is an even "break," and at best, it's—well, try it yourself. TECHNIQUE and SLANG There are only a few people who have not stopped to consider the fact that the Americans have more than one language. Probably it is true that all countries have more than one. In some countries, there are the linges of the lowlanders and that of the highlanders. In our own old U. S. A., there are the languages of the northerners, southerners, easterners and westerners. They all have some difference in speech. This is also true in th other lands, yet they are able to understand each other. But here in America there are two lingos that no one can understand, except people in the same class. They are the tongues of the flappers and of the deep ones. (masters of technical English.) Of course sometimes the flaps are able to understand the deep ones, on "nearness," the following total loss to understand the flappers. In a speech by one of the deep ones, on nearness the following statements were made throughout the discourse: "One of the first laws of nature is gregariousness. As man becomes more civilized he becomes more gregarious. And she went on to say: "And yet man's capacity for pro-pinquity is as inevitably limited as the saturation point of an ink blotter. Man's gregariousness is from his capacity for propinquity a thing a part." Then she says: "A man can sicken and die esthetically when propinquity capacitates him in describing his wife's stays dangling over the back of a chair." A girl asked one of the deep ones did he love her. He bristled up, cleared his throat and said: "Not knowing and feeling rather delicate to articulate fear that I may deviate from an unbiased state of rectitude. I supposed she knew what he was talking about. They lived happily afterwards—may be.

We were then ordered to the deck of the submarine, which slammed submerged, leaving us drowned, and I was saved by because I had hidden a life preserver under my raincoat.
