SLAYS 12 PAGES IN TWO PARTS VOL. XXIV No. 39 SLA ASSAILS PARTY RECORD IN BOSTON SPEECH Implifies His Previous Decoration That Republicans Abandoned Constitutional Rights of Negro In 1896. VOTES HARDING AS AUTHORITY FOR DIVIDING Boston. Mass. Sept. 23—Dearing that the Republican party abandoned its stand for the constitutional rights of the Negro fifty years ago, and that the time has arrived for the race to divide its vote between the major parties, William H. Lewis, Assistant Attorney General of the United States under Pres. Taft asailed the past records of Republicans in a speech delivered in support of the Democratic party's candidate for president. Comparing the political status of the race to ship tossed on a raging sea, Lewis says that since the Republicans have been content merely to cast out a few lives and a cask of water, the pilot feels that it is expedient to heed the radio message of the staunch old ship democracy and get on board. Would the ship make the hard of political rights, a new city will dawn for the race, the high lights in Mr. Lewis' speech as follows: FATEFUL YEAR FOR VOTERS The action of the colored voter year holds the fate of himself this race for the coming years, prepared to accept criticism at the present day, as I am conditioned of the verdict of posturity and before you upon my record thirty years in your midst. Our arrangements here are not due to you, but upon your Civil Rights bill day, I was the cause of that place upon your statutes with the aid of a Democraticerner, William E. Russell. "I right against the Birth of a riot, Governor Walsh lent us a rest hand. In the contest must the condition of John Johnerner McCauley stood, Governor Commonwealth when the case into the Federal Courts, a Democratic Attorney General from Texas, Thomas Gregory, refused to go beaten the United States Commissar. When I made the fight for colored lawyer in the American association, I had the sympathy and support of John W. DENT TO REPUBLICANS PAID For fifty years we have been having slavishly the Republican party for purely historical, and political reasons. That party us used as paws, upon the boardroom of politics, to be used armed, and laid aside as the agencies of the game required. We men of paws? Citizens? We have a right in this country of our Lord one thousand nine and twenty-four to think ourselves, and to act for our interests. We owe the boardroom party nothing, we long since paid our debt of indebtedness, not, when what we in the country of how many years will it be said we have our debt? Was it for a change that the Republican party freed us? Or was it that we must take our place as citizens of the great American Republic, all the rights, duties, and images of American citizenship? We means the right to follow party in whose principles we live, and whose organization permits us to share in the administration of the Government, the party comes into power, the purpose of adultery, the ballot was to us for our protection, and the right and duty to vote, power, and parties into office, just as the Norfolk Journal and Guide Dixie Slater Fires Eight Bullets Into Body of His Affinity "I Loved Her and She Turned Me Down," Reason Given For Shooting:—Banked His Money in Her Name. men or the party serve our highest and best interests. Mrs. Mamie Powell is dead, the result of eight bullet wounds in DIVIDING VOTE ADVOCATED "The time has come for us to divide our votes like other men; so that whichever party is in power our race will have some representation. We must take a leaf out of the Irishman's experience in politics. When Pat was asked how he was going to vote, whether he was gain the Government or not, he said, "I am again the Government. I voted again the Government, I ought again the Government, until I became a part of the Government, and at last the Government itself." "Look back over the history of the Negro in American politics. Enamphirised in '63, enfranchised in '68, the reconstruction period ended in '70, then a few brief years of glory and triumph, and then he Republican party threw the Negro overboard for the electoral votes that put Hayes in the White House. "In 76 the Federal troops were withdrawn from the South. The story of what followed you know by heart. You ask me who is responsible for what followed? I answer, a solid black Republican party in the South, was made necessary by a solid white Democratic party, both sides made mistakes. But he the Democratic party was made necessary for he the Democratic party to put it under obligations to us. But, on the other hand, the Republican party wed us everything. We were handed to our fate. 1890 was he last effort made by Henry Cabot Lodge for suffrage and protection. Three decades have passed since then, and there has been no serious effort, save sporadic attempts by a Grumpacker, a "inkhaka" for the tenth amendment. Would it have not have made the part of wisdom to have made a virtue of necessity, and made new political alliances in the north as well as in the South for our own protection and salvation? QUOTES HARDING AS AUTHORITY "October 26, 1921, in his speech Birmingham, Alabama, the late President Harding gave us the best advice when he said: "I do not want colored people to be entirely of one party, wish that both the tradition of the Democratic South and the tradition of the Republican black race might be broken up. Neither political sectionalism nor any system of rigid groupings of the people will in the long run prosper our country. I want to see the time come when black men will regard themselves as full participants in the benefits and duties of American citizenship; when they vote for Democratic candidates, if they prefer the Democratic candidates, if they prefer the Republican ticket only for like reasons. We can not go on, as we have gone on for more than a half century? "During the incumbency of President Harding, I pressed upon the Republican organization the claim of the colored voter for representation in the Federal government. I recall talking with John T. Adams, chairman of the National Committee. I presented the claim based simply upon the mugre representation enojed with her hedero enjoyment. His answer was, You look good to me. The President is thinking the matter over. I knew that the President had been thinking. COOING Hilders HARDING POLICY "In the Providence of God, Mr. Coolidge became President of the United States. I had the highest hopes that at last justice would be done to the colored voter. But up to now the plan, and policy of President Harding has been faithfully carried out by President Coolidge. The first step in that direction was the appointment of C. Bassom Slemp as Secretary of the President. I protested against that appointment with all the power and strength that I had to Mr. Browder, Mr. Stearns, friends of the President, and to Speaker Gillette, now candidate for Senator, Mr. Gillette stoutly defended the appointment. Mr. Stearns (Continued on Page Six) WOMAN Mrs. Manie Powell is dead, the result of eight bullet wounds inflicted by Dixie Slater last Monday morning about ten o'clock at the White House Bakery, 700 Church Street. Slater is incarcerated in the city jail while his victim lies cold beneath the sad, age all because "he loved her and she turned him down." The woman who lived at 924 Dolphin Street had gone in to the bakery to make a purchase after an alteration between the two which is said to have started in the Metropolitan Bank and Trust Company. Mrs. Powell had made her purchase and was on the verge of leaving after securing her change when Slater walked in and without any words began to clap. She fell and ruckled under one of the racked lines against the wall of the bakery, but her assault never ceased shooting until eight bullets had entered her body. After Slater had committed his atrocious crime he made no attempts to escape and was arrested by police who came immediately upon the scene of the tragedy, which was the second of its kind in cold blooded murders done in Norfolk in the past summer. The fatally wounded woman was rushed to St Vincent's Hospital where the died immediately there. According to written confession from the prisoner by the police, he said he killed Mrs Powell because he loved her and she had turned him down. The murdered woman was the wife of Charlie Powell, but was not living with her husband, having parted from him about two years ago, during which time an intimacy had grown up between her and the murderer, the wife of Hertford M. Carr, who had been living at 12 Dolphin St., 18 Years, aged 21. Slater, who is a Portuguese and brick mason by trade, had his money banked in the name of the Powell woman according to information obtained. It was said that the murdered woman had told Slater the night before that she did not want him any more and the latter went to Portsmouth and procured an automatic revolver. Monday morning the two went to the bank to draw on the account and the woman would let Slater see what amount she was drawing. She, then left the bank and went into the White House Bakery where she was soon followed by her spurned lover and shot to death. The case will be heard at the October term of Corporation Court.

Charles Jordan, incarcerated in the city jail, figured a way to get out cheap. He approached the warden and informed him that he was ready to pay his fine, naming another prisoner whose fine was $3. He gave this to him and walked out. Later the jailkeeper learned that Jordan's fine $1000. NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1924 PARTY LEADERS CONFER WITH NEWSPAPERMEN National Republican Committee Demands Editors Support Its Candidate In Return For Advertisement. PROPOSITION MEETS Baltimore, Md., Sept. 25—(P. N. S.)—Henry F. Arnold, advertising manager of the Baltimore Afro-American, discloses that the object of the conference of Eastern Negro Editors called by the National Republican Committee was to demand support for the Presidential candidates in trade for advertisements. There were, according to Carl J. Murphy, editor of the Afro-American, about 20 of the 26 eastern editors at the conference. The call was issued by William C. Matthews, chairman of the Eastern Division of publicity among colored people. After a banquet there was a business meeting, presided over by Atty. Robert L. Vann, editor of the Pittsburgh Courier. It was here, according to Mr. Arnold that the ultimatum was issued and we were told space would be bought consistent with the effort we put forth in the interest of the Republican ticket this fall. It is said that Editor Murphy at once arose and told the presiding officer that the editorial columns of his paper were not for sale and left the meeting. Mr. Murphy said the first man on his feet following the "ads-for-c editorial" proposition criticised the plan. He was Benjamin J. Davis, editor of the Atlanta Independent, of Atlanta, Ga., a Republican paper. According to Mr. Arnold, the chairman, Atty, R. L. Vann, soon sensed the mistake he made in the way he launched his proposition and endeavored to give a lengthy explanation that the proposition was innocent. Murphy and Arnold left early in the meeting and could not tell what happened afterwards. Among those eastern editors attending the conference were: Arthur W. Lynch, Public Journal, Philadelphia; Carl J. Murphy, Afro-American; Baltimore, Md.; E. Washington Rhodes, Philadelphia Tribune, Philadelphia; R. F.

Belligerent Man Gets Big Surprise Lunging Towards Companion With Knife In Hand He Falls Into Arms of Patrolman. (Special to the Journal and Guide.) Greensboro, N. C., Sept. 25—Charlence Wharton, colored, got the surprise of his 30 years when he ran unknowingly into the arms of Patrolman B. H. Pickford, of the police department, while attempting to carve another colored man, Isaac Yellock, with a long, sharp knife. Patrolman Pickford was no less surprised than Wharton, and in the excitement he got away after handcuffing him. The affair took place in the store of Prickard and Coble, on East Market street where the officer was seated on a box near the front door. Without previous notice, Isaac entered the store with whirlwind speed. Sensing trouble the officer arose. Wharton with knife in hand, leaped squarely into the patrolman's arms. After the handcuffs had奏 took another flying start, this time for the entrance, and after traveling at high speed for a few steps, he fell sprawling into the mud. The officer, who is of portly physique, started in pursuit. The race ended when the officer, who had gained great momentum, slipped into the mud, and stumbled over the prostrated Clarence, and there the two lay until assistance was rendered by spectators. Clarence is charged with assault with a deadly weapon. SPEEDING TAXI INJURES BOY Little Richard Southall Has Fractured Skull as Result of Accident. Richard Southall, age six years, son of Mr. and Mrs. Napoleon Lee Southall, of 706 Cumberland street was knocked down and seriously injured by James T. Bryant, operator of a Black and White taxi.

He attempted to cross the street and the taxi, which was being driven at a rapid rate of speed struck and knocked him down fracturing his skull and hardly scarring his body. It was said that the speed of the taxi was so great that it covered half the block between Powell and Brambleton Ave., before its momentum could be checked. The injured boy was taken. Six officers, operated by Bryant, the operator of the car where he was arrested and charged with assault with an automobile. The condition of Richard Southall was expressed as grave by the attending physicians. He did not gain consciousness until early Tuesday morning. HE HOWARD HURLS JOINT DEBATE DEFI AT LEWIS Former Republican Who Has Joined Democratic Ranks Asked To Defend Present Allegiance. CHALLENGE POINTS OUT PARTY DIFFERENCES Washington, D. C., Sept. 22 —Declaring in a letter to William H. Lewis of Boston, Assistant Attorney General of the United States under the Taft Administration, that it would have been better for him to have fought out his differences within the Republican party than to have bolted to the Democratic party, Perry W. Howard, special assistant to the Attorney General, challenges him to defend his position in a joint debate lest he be charged with ingratitude. DEMOCRATIC EVILS Mr. Howard sarcastically invites Mr. Lewis to reflect upon the conduct of the Democratic party toward the Negro. He directs his attention to the greatest evils from which the Negro suffers and puts the responsibility for their existence upon the Democratic party. They are, he says, disfranchisement, segregation, peonage, lynching, inequitable division of taxes for school purposes and jim crow car laws. In full text of his letter challenging Mr. Lewis to debate the issues of the campaign affecting the Negro is as follows: "My dear Will: "I am painfully surprised at your desolation of the Republican party in mid stream. My pain is intensified by the reflection that you have been given higher recognition by the Republican party than any colored man and its history. The prestige and lucrative prairie fortune you enjoy are due in measure to the honors the party conferred upon you both as an Assistant United States Attorney in Boston and as Attorney General of the United States. REPUBLICANS DID ALL "Perhaps the Republican party has not done all it could or should have done, but you must admit that it has done all that has been done for our group, whether in the emancipation of our fathers or the civic recognition of us, their offspring. It would have been better to have threshed out your complaints within the ranks of the party than to have fled to 'tils you know no one.' We kindly reflect upon the good things done for the Negro by the Democratic party? They are naught. On the other hand, we may charge the Democratic party with the following crimes, to-wit: (1) disfranchisement; (2) segregation; (3) peonage; (4) lynching and burning human beings; (5) inequitable division of taxes for educational purposes; (6) jim crow car laws; (7) hostile legislation at every opportunity. As to what the Republican party hates, the other side of the lie, it is unnecessary for me to enumerate, as these matters are fresh within your memory, including the recognition of your aspirations as set out above. "May I ask, do you believe that the twelve millions of our group in this country would be as safe under an administration of John W. Davis and Charles W. Bryan, with their advisers of Heilf and Gone way, as under the same laws and same administration and the indomitable Davies did by the outstanding political factors in the Republican party? "Will you not admit that during a period of one year President Coolidge has done as much in a substantial way for our group as any other President, and certainly more than any Democratic President, during the same period of time, notwithstanding the fact that he has been handicapped by an unfriendly Senate? CHALLENGE "If you sincerely believe in the propaganda you are broadcasting SUBSCRIPTION PRICE $2.00 PER YEAR White Enrollment Drops, While Race Enrollment, Jumps Wilmington, N. C., Sept 26 —A total of 3,971 white students were enrolled in the city School system on the opening day, and 1,960 children. This is an increase of 162 in the Negro enrollment over last year and a decrease of 40 in the white enrollment. I most respectfully challenge you to a joint debate on the issues involved affecting our group between the two major parties, on any date that may suit your convenience and at any time that you may designate; the debate to be managed by Mr. William C. Matthews, the national organizer among colored voters for the Republican party, and Mr. Ferdinand Q. Morton, the representative of the Democratic party. May I add that the great pre-promotion massing of the colored electorate are disappointed in your attitude and it would be very much to your credit to appear in debate and defend your position lest you be charged with smiting the hand that lifted you up. Sincerely yours, "PERRY W. HOWARD" GARVEY DELIVERS TWO ADDRESSES Admonishes His Hearers To Refrain From Shiftlessness and Stick to Industry. Marcus Garvey, provisional president of Africa and president of the Universal Negro Improvement Association delivered addresses at the Bank Street Baptist Church. Thursday and Friday nights of last week under the auspices of Division No. 1, U. N. I. A. The speaker was introduced by Prof. Scott. Mr. Garvey delivered an eloquent address which is characteristic of him. In his discourse, he admonished the Negroes for their shiftlessness, saying that, if they wished to command the respect of other races of mankind, they must up and doing. A subject of Mr. Garvey's trip was to raise funds to pay on the recent ship which it is said is being purhased to establish trade relations with other countries. He left New York to tour the country in connection with his project. Delegation Greets Democratic Nominee New York, N. Y., Sept. 24.—In the large crowd that greeted Juno W. Davis last Sunday evening at the Grand Central Station upon his return from the West were nearly two hundred and fifty colored men and women. The male entrant was billed by the Mafia. Chief Edward E.

Man Confesses Warehouse Robbery Sidney Hall took full responsibility of the robbery last Thursday night of the clothing warehouse of S. Frank and Son, 242 West Tazewell street, which was frustrated by the early arrival of the police. Three other men were rounded up by police, but dismissed after Hall assumed all responsibility of planning and perpetuating the robbery. The warehouse robbery was interrupted by officer Umphlett, who seeing a parked automobile in the rear of the Franks place, investigated. According to the officer, three other men jumped from the machine and fled as he approached. He fired three times after the fugitives, but they escaped. 50 suits of clothes and 15 overcoats were found in the abandoned automobile by the officer and were placed at approximately, $1,600.

The jury required three hours to reach a decision. HAYNES STRESSES CO-OPERATION Interracial Cooperation Versus Interracial Friction Urged As Means of Peace. Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 24- Speaking here before the National Baptist Convention Inc., Dr. Geo. E. Haynes, Secretary of the Commission on the Church and Race Relations. Federal Council of Churches, said in pnt: "The principles of Christian brotherhood between the races comes as a special challenge to the Churches. The Federal Council from the time of its organization has recognized the force of this challenge and Negro churchmen have had a share in its organization and work of evangelism, of Social Service and of other phases of applied brotherhood. Especially has the work of the Commission on the Church and Race Relations appealed to the Churches." Continuing further the speaker described interracial conferences which have been held in Northern and Southern cities with the assistance or under the auspices of the Race Relations Commission of the Federal Council and the interracial relations started by this means in such Northern cities as Toledo, Ohio, Wichita, Kan., and Chicago. He said: "After an intensive study in thousands of classes in churches all over the nation in 1922 and 1923, white and colored Christian men and women are facing squarely the facts of race relations in America and propose to do something about the situation. They have taken note of the misunderstandings, prejudices, friction and suspicion that are all too widespread. The churches are slowly but surely tackling the task of removing these with phasing them with cooperation and guidance in the everyday relations of life. Finally, the forces of religion and idealism today have such a gigantic task to rehabilitate a wartorn world that Christians of all color and creeds have a clarion call from the Christ to join in a united program of prayer, of purpose and of service."

JOHNSON, JR. With September swiftly passing and the bleak days of fall just around the corner, football players, stars, near stars, ember swiftly passing and the bleak days of the corner, football players, stars, near stars, would-be's and hopefuls are swarming the fields of the schools colleges and universities of the country, getting ready for another season of pigskin revelry, in which a number of changes have been made, thus putting an edge on the already keen interest of the fans. Since football has been modernized and become recognized as the premier college and leading fall sport, games between members of the C. I. A. A. are looked upon with zest, especially since these games lead to a climax that settle many disputes as to which team is the best. Most of the squad have taken to the fields and are slowly but surely evolving from a chaotic mass and assuming the shape of something that looks like a football team. Soon the coaches will be able to throw eleven men together and justly say he has a football team. A number of the athletic directors are going through the seriousness of filling up gaps left open by varsity players who graduated; then some are going through the seriousness of taking up the work where some mentors left off, installing new systems and ironing out kinks in order to have a well finished fabric when the first whistle, sounds sending the gridiron gladiators into action. At the beginning of each year it is thought that the incoming season will be the banner year, but it is a consensus of cock-eyed opinions that the season of 1924 will knock the daylights out of previously set precedents. Nearly eighty thousand fans witnessed games played between members of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association last season, but this year bids fair to that attendance being engulfed. Among the most important clashes slated on the menu this year are, the meeting of Union and Lincoln in Norfolk, October 27. The tough foes for other schools are lined up as follows: Union meets Shaw, St. Paul and Lincoln. Hampton meets all of the elevens in the C. I. A. A. Howard meets Lincoln, Hampton and St. Paul. The above clashes are about the most important on tap and are looked forward to with interest. BISONS OUT FOR SEASONS MELEE BISONS OUT FOR WONDER TEAM SEASONS MELEE HAS 51 IN TOGS Washington, D. C.-Sixty-five husky candidates for Howard's 1924 football squad met Coach W. E. Morrison on the University gridiron Monday. September 15 for practice for the coming football season. A loyal group of vets also reported to Coach Morrison and offered their services in connection with the development of a great team to represent Howard on the gridiron this year. Among those were: Raymond Contee, star halfback, Ernest Johnson, center. Dr. Leo Holton, star center of the 1922 team, former Captain Dongeghy, and James Long, star end. The first four days of the past week have been spent in limbering up exercises, consisting of calisthenics, duck walk, passing pigskin, medicine ball practice, and jogging around track from four to eight times. The first scrimmages to be engaged in took place on Friday and Saturday. HARD SCHEDULE AHEAD A hard schedule is ahead for the Howard Bisons this year, the first game being on October 4th with A. and T. College, at home, and the others follow: October 11th, St. Paul Normal, at home; October 18th, open; October 25th, W. Va. Collegiate Institute, at home November 1st, Wilberforce University at Wilberforce; November 8th, Va. Normal at Petersburg; November 15th, Hampton Institute, at home, and ending with "The Football-Classic of the Year" on Thanksgiving Day November 27th, at the American League Park, Washington, D. C. While Coach Morrison is pleased to have such a large number of men to report for practice he has not, of course, committed himself with reference to possibilities for the year. He, however, expects to put forth every effort to develop for Howard an "A No. 1" team.

SLATER HAYNES Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 25—With hite regular schedule of eight hard games and the post-season affair with Atlanta University, More- house College is facing one of its hardest football seasons. The student body is expecting the Tiger to attack the big assignment, especially the last bit—the game with Atlanta University, with the spirit of past seasons. When questioned as to methods and men, Coach Harvey was un- usually reticent. But we will give a guess and say that emphasis will be placed on open football. The squad looses only four men by graduation; ex-captain Charles Kelly, hard hitting halfback; C. Felton Gayles, who for many gridiron seasons had been the South's foremost end; William Howard, guard, and E. Davingsson Hutt, last season's all-Southern quarterback. A number of new men have already appeared on the campus and some of them look like good material. Morehouse is prepared to take care of the expected crowds with its new, large grandstand. She has already placed on sale season tickets for the four home games, Benedict College, Morris Brown University, Talladega College, and Fisk University. Last Saturday afternoon was paint time. The Morehouse students who have been in the city all summer, took time out from football practice and with the aid of a number of patrons gave the new grandstand a coat of paint. Last week saw the first regular practice, as a number of men have returned. Monday practically all of the squad will be seen in action. 'WONDER TEAM' HAS 51 IN TOGS Lawrenceville, Vn., Sept. 25—On Tuesday, September 16, fifty-one sturdy youngsters donned the coveted football togs of St. Paul each eager to become an integral part of the "wonder team" which is certain to boast of an eleven in 1921 superior by at least twenty-five per cent to that which astounded the public and made the C. I. A. a sit up and take notice in 1923. Mentor Douglas refuses to make a statement for the press but the fact that he has great hopes and is entirely satisfied with the condition and playing of his cohorts is obvious in his physiognomy. After two weeks of strenuous and diligent training, the boys are rapidly rounding into shape. Head Coach Douglas is concentrating on the Howard game. While he is holding his main practices in secret, it is the consensus of opinion that he will use only straight football against "Dock" Morrison. Parker and Maddux are missing men from last year's premier outfit. There great athletes' places, however, will be filled by boys of demonstrated ability, experience and football acumen, who are destined to attain gridiron heights which never appeared in the visions of their renowned predecessors. Five stars representing four states have matriculated at St Paul. Russell, the New Haven flash, looks promising; Tyler, the Colorado punter, is sure to land a varsity back; Moseley, the Blue ridge Stoic, is expected to topform sensationally; Tate, the Old North State triple threat, is already a varsity back, and Leigh, the Old Dominion man of destiny, has to be reckoned with. St. Paul will open the 1924 season with the game against North Carolina State Normal School, of Elizabeth City, N. C., at Lawrenceville on Saturday, October 4th. DEMPSEY MAY DODGE WILLS BY RETIRING New York City, Sept. 25—(P. N. S.)—Now that Harry Wills has eliminated every possible barrier between himself and Jack Dempsey the Manassas Mauler, who bears on his bottled brow the crown of --- By J. L. WHITEHEAD --- heavyweight authority, there comes a rumor that the meal-ticket of Jack Kearns may elude a bout with the Brown Panther by retiring from the ring in favor of the screen. Lounging around in Hollywood and the idol of a gaping crowd of screen idols who break into print every now and then with a scandal story of sensational form, the man who has made a fortune by meeting near greats and "built-ups" real opponent he has ever been fighters, is ready to dodge the first real opponent he has ever been called upon to meet. According to fight scribes, it may be exceedingly difficult to get Wills and Dempsey, but as they say, no one should overlook the fact that the Brown Panther has fought his way to a position where he must get some recognition from the champion. There may be arguments advanced against his claims for a chance at Dempsey, but who else is there for Dempsey to mingle with unless it is the powerful fighter who so decisively defeated Firpo. The case has been in the calendar for many years, and must be disposed of before the boxing fans will be satisfied that Dempsey is fully entitled to reign over the heavyweight class. However, Dempsey may never fight again. It is said by close friends of his that they think the champion would be just as well pleased to toss away his boxing gloves for all time. The big fellow has plenty, and is a big attraction in the movie game so long as he holds the title. Dempsey is said to have intimated to close friends that he has earned a rest from the game in which he won his fame and fortune. Tommyret! It isn't the custom of a real champion to dodge the first real issue which confronts him. The time for a man to retire, is when Father Time takes its toll on when the horizon is clear of a logical opponent. And the man who contemplates "retiring" is in the prime of his life. Still under thirty, he has yet to meet a man who can be really considered among the top-notchers in the game. And then, when a real opportunity presents itself, is it the custom for a champion to speak of "retiring"? You can call it retiring if you want to, but from this side it has a rather unsanitary atmosphere and is called by a name not quite so genteel from the neck of the woods where we come from. Dempsey may retire alright. But there will be a stigma behind his name and the sport which he is supposed o represent far worse than the episode of concerning Jack Johnson. UNION HAS GOOD NUCLEUS FOR THE NEW COACH UNION HAS GOOD NUCLEUS FOR THE NEW COACH Richmond, Va., Sept. 25—The Panther Eleven has now been in camp for several days and under the watchful eye of Coach Tom Harvey, the Washburn College sensation and four letter man, the team is "getting fit." Coach Harvey has three All-Ameri in players around which to build his machine, Captain "Hank" Cromwells end, Sam Barksdale, tackles, and Allen Jackson quarterback, now a listed by young Jimmie Shilch, Harry Boffman, Moten, Edgar, Derritt and Williams as veteran backs along with Smith, Merritt, tua Lightfoot, Houston, Jackson, and Brooks as linemen. But few have to be filled and it seems evident that Tobin, Tuskegee star of All-Southern center will cop pivot position. Hester, former West Philadelphia High athlethe Holland of Bordentown, Anderson and Johnson of Mary Potter and Stuart former Hampton athlethe are promising linesmen, while Motley of Simmons University, Loper of Alabama state, "Spider" Meade the Long Branch High School lad, young Crosby of Hartford High and Twine the Muskogee High triple threat man seem to be the most promising of the new backs. Seventy-one "red and steel" warriors answered the Panther's firstery and Coach Harvey smiled with pleasure as he introduced his new western system. Union looks good and it is expected that she will have but little trouble in duplicating her feat of '21 and '23. The schedule follows: Oct. 4th, practice game at Richmond; Oct. 11, A. & T. at Greensboro; Oct. 18, Shaw University at Richmond; Oct. 27, (Monday) Lincoln University at Norfolk; Nov. 1, pending; Nov. 8, Lynchburg Seminary at Richmond; Nov. 15, V.

NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE The Field HAMPTON'S FOOT THIS TIME BRIG Hampton Meets St. Pa 18, and Lincoln in F 1, in Two of Season's HAMPTON'S FOOT BALL OUTLOOK THIS TIME BRIGHTEST IN YEARS By P. BERNARD YOUNG. JR. Hampton, Va., Sept. 24.—With 2 weeks of preliminary outdoor practice already behind it, the Hampton squad of gridiron warriors this season has the brightest prospects for a victorious eleven that has faced it in years. Led by the redoubtable Captain Oscar Pindle, one of Hampton's mainstays in her line last season, the sixty-odd knights of the pigskin who have reported are rapidly rounding into condition under the skilled tutelage of conches Charles H. Williams, Gideon E. Smith and William S. Parker. In fact the entire athletic program of Hampton has brighter outlooks for the seasons that lead to championships than it has had in many years, in the opinion of those closest to Hampton's athletic life. Football, basketball track, tennis, and baseball are slated to come into no small share of the success that indications point out for the "Seasiders" this year. Hampton's Schedule Is Fine Scheduled to play through the best and, incidentally, the most difficult schedule ever arranged for it, the squad is determined to bear out predictions an dpresent a team worthy of meeting its most formidable opponents. Hampton plays every team in the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association this year and one nonmember. On October 4 she opens the season with Durham State Normal at Hampton; tackles Virginia Seminary and College the following Saturday, and then plays her first big game away from home in Norfolk the following Saturday against the St. Paul "Tigers." This is undoubtedly going to be one of the most colorful and thrilling struggles of the year. St. Paul thirty for revenge because of her recent defeats by the "Seasiders," and Hampton believing that "they shall not pass." Already reports show that League Park in Norfolk will be filled to overflowing on Oct. 18. Special trains will be run for rooters who do not live in the immediate vicinity of the seaport town. Of course Hampton and Lincoln rooters will pack the Park for the Philadelphia game Social Side Remembered Dances, receptions, dinners and all the other social activities that go to make the games more interesting have been arranged for this game, and also the big battle with the Lincoln "Lions" in the Quaker City on November 1. The same is true of the other games on the schedule, but these two battle between Hampton and the "Tigers" and "Lions" will be unusually interesting. The complete schedule is as follows: Oct. 4, Durham State Normal at Hampton; Oct. 11, Virginia Seminary and College at Hampton; Oct. 18, St. Paul at Norfolk; Oct. 25, Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute at Petersburg; Nov. 1, Lincoln at Philadelphia; Nov. 8, Shaw University at Hampton; Nov. 15, Howard at Washington; Thanksgiving, Union at Hampton. Letter Men Return Hampton has lost an All-American tackle in the graduation of T. Coleman, captain of the 1923 team. The Ruffin brothers, Herbert Hardwick, J. P. Taylor, and W. W. Cardozo were also lost thru duction. "Bulldog" Williams, an season's versatile fullback, also ductioned, but was expected to return for advance work. Owing to illness, he was unable to return at the time school opened. Butler Out-Out Town Elevens To Open Season Here The Portsmouth T. M. C. A. squad has begun training for the first game of the season with Union Street high school in Norfolk Wednesday, October 1. A number of the last year's team have returned to try for be he is on the 1924 eleven. In spite of the loss of some of last year team including Bull Merritt, the con. "Jim" Jones, who formerly played guard for the Norfolk Athletic Club, expect to have a fast and scrappy aggregation. Mds of T T BALL OUTLOOK HIGHEST IN YEARS Paul in Norfolk, October Philadelphia, November s Best Games also failed to return as was expected. Experienced Material To offset that, however, Hampton has six letter men returning; and every one of them an outstanding figure in football circles last season. They are Oscar Pindle, center and captain, aggressive, sure in tackling and perfect in passing; David Gunn, the premier kicker and a terror on either end of the forward pass. Together with his experience and craftiness, these abilities of his are expected to make his last year in football his best. Then there are others, including Bertrand Jacobs, Hampton's diminutive quarter and all-round football star; Edward Hargrove, one of Hampton's triple threats; "Jimmie" Jones, one of the choices for an All-American berth last season at end; and T. J. Coleman, who for his ability to literally roll a line out of his way has been called "Steamroller". In reality, every candidate is a potential member of the varsity until his superior is found.

The charge was made that the orphanage was insanitary several months ago, and Mrs. Morris was under suspended sentence. The orphanage was kept in her home and many white persons contributed to the work even after her work was taken into court. 40 Candidates Forty candidates took to the fields in the initial workout of the Booker Warner High School in preparation for the roming season. Coach Wilson is putting the squad through hard drilling, in view of the fact that the school has a tough schedule, ahead. N. A. C. GAME HIGH HATTED On account of protests on the part of members of the High school eleven, the Norfolk Athletic, and fans, the proposed game between the teams was called off. The trend of public opinion seemed to run against a game of that kind so the Royal Social Club was sub- stituted and will engage the high school team in the opening game. The schedule released very re- cently has undergone some changes and the new one is as follows: Friday, Oct. 3, Royal S. C., Norfolk; Friday, Oct. 10, Roanoke H. S.

The decision brings to a close very lively competition between New York City, Atlantic City, Baltimore and Washington as the place where the next "football classic" of the year shall be played. It is the intention of the officials to place tickets on sale early in October, orders already have been placed for printing the entire reserved sections of the park, including boxes and grandstand seats. Precautions are being taken to see that each and every patron of the game is assured the best possible treatment.

POLA NEGRI LEADING STAR AT ATTUCKS Biggest Attraction of Year Coming To Population Playhouse Next Week. The Attucks Theatre has booked three of the years most outstanding pictures to be shown next week. The week's program consists of a rare combination of stories, stars directors and authors, which makes the screen showing extraordinary. Pola Negri's greatest picture, "The Cheat," tops the bill, beginning Monday and Tuesday. It is listed among the best cinema stories ever written featuring one of the screen's greatest love-actresses supported by Jack Holt and Charles de Roche. "West of the Water Tower," a widely discussed novel, starring Gleen Hunter and May McAvoy follows the opening show. This show is a dramatic study of small town life, with its powerful story or reckless love—a story crowded with enough seagational scenes for ten ordinary screen versions of its kind.

Brown Panther And Tame Bull But the Bull is no longer wild, from the way he is talking now through the American white press, he is just "bull". Wills proved to be the only clever boxer, and the better ring general, as was expected, but by far the stronger man in muscle, which most people did not expect. Firpo's "T terrible Right," had no terror, for when he shot it across, Wills sometimes caught it in his left glove, as a ball player sometimes catches the ball, and contemptuously shoved it to Firpo, or bent it and twisted it with his bronze arm, as the average man might handle the arm of the average woman. Dempsey was looking on, and it is our opinion, that Dempsey and the "one hundred percenters", will continue to find excuses why Wills should not be given a chance at Dempsey. Harry did not need to knock Firpo's head off; a simple victory over him without any risk, makes Wills the logical and the ONLY contender against Dempsey. And the Dempsey myths are exploded: He claimed that the public would not support such a fight with Wills,—but the public was there. Firpo was a much better and more experienced boxer when he met Wills in Jersey City than when he fought Dempsey in New York City,—but Firpo knocked Dempsey out of the ring, and Firpo could not even hit Wills, and when he managed to touch the brown man, it didn't hurt. Everybody thought, at the Firpo-Dempsey fight, that Firpo was at least every bit as strong, and maybe stronger than Dempsey. But everybody saw last night that ONCE MORE We direct your attention to the real and worthwhile economy that comes from using Kenny's Popular 35c Coffee and Che-On 60c Tea, instead of higher priced kinds.

And yet the Argent time "right," the unopposed, did not not seem to matter with Wills as it pounded the two fouls into his side. But when Harry did "in work" on Firpo's poor left kidney, it was terrible to see the suffering of the Argentinian. It was awful. Now, will Dempsey fight Wills? Not if he and Jack Kearns can still get out of it. They will "explain, and explain," but they will not fight,—unless they are forced to do so. Harry Wills is a clean boxer and was cool and never disturbed, and was evidently just as well started when the 12 rounds came to an end. A very few more rounds would have put Firpo out of action.

Please allow me space in your valuable medium to state the facts concerning the cancellation of the game of football scheduled for October 6th, between Booker T. Washington and Norfolk Athletic Club. Prior to the publication of this schedule, Mr. Owen Wilson, coach, agreed to play the Norfolk Athletic Club by my consenting to eliminate Booth from playing, the reason stated by him being that his men refused to play against him. The park bookings will show that Mr. Wilson engaged the grounds for that date. On yesterday, the 22nd, Mr. James Jones of Portsmouth apprised me that Mr. Wilson had canceled the game. It seems that in fairness to the team and the public this should have been divulged to the manager of the local club. I saw Mr. Wilson shortly after receiving Mr. Jones' information and he verified the statement, and gave as an alibi for what I deem a gross breach of RFAIR good faith, and said he could not get his men to play, (not only against Booth) but the team as a while. If the question of weight created fear in the hearts of the young warriors representing Booker T. Washington High to the extent or repudiating a gentleman's agreement, this should have been known in advance of the agreement between Mr. Wilson and my self. Last season with a crippled team an some of the best men unable to po, I insisted on taking my team and some of the best men unimac Club.

At eight, the church under Maunus lesson, the pastor was to the delight of all. They were indeed at their best. Thus closed a blessed day with two additions and a collection of $230.27. BANK STREET BAPTIST CHURCH The Sunday morning services at the Bank Street Church were impressive. The pastor spoke from Amos 4:12, last clause: "Prepare to Meet Thy God." The sermon was in keeping with the coming revival which will open this Sunday. Rev. William assists as pastor of the Baptist Church, Portsmouth, Va. will conduct revival services. Rev. Long stressed the importance and the necessity of turning the minds and hearts of the people back to God. He referred to the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah as witnesses of Jehovah's displeasure at continued sin and wickedness. The admonition should not be lost in or when the opened doors and the opened forms, that were erstwhile considered stable in the world are brought to view. A fine congregation greeted the speaker. METROPOLTAN A. M. E. ZION CHIRCH The Sunday school at this church was inspiring and uplifting to those present on last Sunday. A number of visitors were present and several new members were enrolled. The school is in a good condition. The officers and members are always on hand to make visitors, strangers and delinquent members welcome in our school. At 11 o'clock, Rev. A. F. Gussum, delivered a wonderful and soul-stirring sermon from these words: "I am the vine, ye are the branches." All enjoyed the services. The V. C. E. League was out in large numbers. Many took part in the discussion of the topic. At 7:30 p. m., Rev. Gussum again filled the pulpit and delivered an inspiring sermon on the subject: "Love of God." CHURCH DIRECTORY Subject of Sermon "Give Love A Chance" will be the subject of Rev. Bowling's special sermon at the First Baptist Church this Sunday night. He says it will be a sermon addressed to both young and old, to courting couples and to newly weds and to those grown used to marriages. The evening service at this church begins promptly at eight o'clock and closes shortly after nine. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Sunday was a great day spiritually and institutionally at our church. The morning, Rev. Bowling delivered a very thoughtful and heart touching sermon on the subject, "Misguided Zeal," Acts 269. After which six candidates were baptized. At 3 p. m., Holy Communion was administered to a large gathering of saints and the right hand of Fellowship was extended to nine new members. At night, Rev. Bowling's subject was: "Our New Outlook of Hope," Is. 21:6. As he pictured the outlook as a denomination, as a Race and as individuals, our hearts were made to rejoice in the hope of a future for giving to us a man to lead us, who has such a vision of the Master's work, and whose life is exemplary. The Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. were well attended and much interest is being manifested in the work of both organizations. The Dorcas Class recently holds its annual farewell reception, gives a speech of those of the church who are leaving for the various schools of higher learning. This affair was largely attended and a splendid program was rendered. ST. PETER'S CHURCH OF CHRIST (DISCIPLES) PRINCESS ANNE & BOLTON ST. All students attended last Sunday.

LEBANON BAPTIST Services were at a very high spiritual tide last Sunday. Early morning prayer meeting was good. The Sunday school made a fine showing with large attendance.

U. met at the usual hour and rendered a fine program. At night, the pastor gave us another excellent sermon from Rom. 8:28. Thus ended a glorious day with two additions.

RECORD (Continued from Page One) said he had nothing to do with it; Mr. Butler regretted the appointment, and said he would see what he could do in the matter, which turned out to be nothing. "Early in Mr. Coolidge's administration, I met the White I saw Mr. Slemp. I told him that I had viewed his appointment with alarm, not pointing to it with pride, but since he was an accomplished fact, I would work with him as far as I could. I called upon the President to pay my respects. The President asked me if he could do anything for me. I said no; I wanted nothing, but would like to be in position. He said I should "need I when you I will ring the bell." I know what the President meant. "I again called at the White House, pressed our claims, informing the President that while under Taft and Roosevelt we were in numerous appointments in Washington, numerous Presidential appointments outside of Washington, including Minister to Haiti; that we had now simply one Presidential appointment in Washington. Not once, but many times, I presented your claims as citizens to representation in the Federal Government, our party, the Republican party, our party, as it is now in power. URGES SLEMP TO ACT "My last visit to the White House was in April of present year. I was told Mr. Slemp, my friend, Mr. Seitz, would get short, you have done nothing." He said to me, "We have appointed a diplomatic commission to the Virgin Islands, a thing that has never been done before." I said, "Mr. Secretary, that's a joke, and besides, it is not a fact. President Taft appointed a mixed commission to the American seas, and paid them well." He urged again that the intended to turn over the Veteran's Hospital at Taskegey to the colored people. I told him that the Veteran's Hospital was no more political than any other hospital; that Senator Underwood of Alabama, when the white people asked him, told the staff members of the staff positions, told them that they assigned a segregated hospital, and they got it. He said to me, "You amaze me; you, a leader of your people, don't appreciate from the white people." I said, "Mr. Secretary, I am not looking for gestures. I am looking for what we are entitled to." He said. I told him that a few negro ministers and barbers vote, and I don't understand you." I said, "I understand you perfectly; but you can never get my point of view." I told him that they had the organization, and they could get the nomination, but that it cannot be done, another matter, I pointed out what had been done for the colored people in Northern cities by Democrats, in New York and Boston. He said, "You don't mean that colored men will vote the Democratic ticket?" I said, "Yes, that's just what they will do. And furthermore, I say, that something done by the colored public voter by this administration they ought to." "God moves in mysterious ways. The great migrations during the last ten years to the North, East, and West, have given you the balance of power in twenty American Commonwealths. What will you do with it? It is for you to say. You can hand it over to the Republican party, or you can use it as wise men engaged in the struggle for freedom and representation in the government. One defeat of the Republican party at our hands in a National election, and a new Republican party, and a new Democratic party in America, both anxious for the colored vote.

Girls' Week Observance Plans for the celebration of Girls' Week have gained a new impetus since the opening of the schools. Committees are vying with one another in arranging events for the amusement of our girls. The object of Girls' Week is that we may show the girlhood of the community that the men and women of our race are vitally interested in their welfare. The girls of today are the women of tomorrow. It is necessary that those things which are potent factors in their preparation for the future be stressed today. Wholesome recreation provides an outlet for the abundant energies of the growing girl. The committee has taken these facts into consideration and a program which is striking in it variety has been arranged. The community is invited to participated with the mothers and daughters at the Sing which will be held on Sunday, October 5 at 3:30 p. m., at St. John's A. M. E. Church. Movies, stunts at the schools and a field day where races, athletic exhibition and drills will be held; a picnic and a parade will be the out-of-town features. "Health" and "Negro Womanhood" are the special topic speakers will emphasize. Leaders will stress the problems of the girl and the adjustments which she must make day by day. Tiny tots will enjoy a day at the City Park. Special programs and features will be arranged in all the city churches. The parade will form at 3:30 p. m., at the Community Center on Friday. The line of march will be Princess Anne road to Church street to Washington avenue to Chapel to Wood to Bute and disband. PUBLIC PULSE In your excellent editorial on the late Wm. M. Reid you have stated with admirable force and directness the basic principles upon which his success was built—forces that inevitably bring success to all who employ them. During the last half century the American Negro has been on trial to determine his capacity to assimilate modern civilization. His adversaries—and they were many—gleefully prophesied his utter collapse. Barriers believed by them to be unsurmountable studded his pathway, to impede his progress. Only a race with boundless optimism could have risen above these depressing conditions. Still from this chronic state of affairs there are in the Negro law, physician, curmilian, and minister, the tomiener to use their brains! Theirs was a task and a struggle that would have overcome and discouraged less resolute souls. By but dint of hard work, fidelity to trust, and on steadfast devotion to high ideals—of which Mr. Reid was a conspicuous exponent—this once despised class has won the respect and confidence of an increasing host of its erstwhile detractors. REVIEW And COMMENT BY WILLIAM EBRITTON With the presidential election but six weeks off, keen and unbiased observation reveals that the party in power is still enjoying the advantage. Of course, Senator La-Follette has just begun his verbal barrage against both the Republicans and Democrats and the measure of effectiveness of his onslaughts remains to be seen. No doubt the Senator will strike and strike hard, but few there are who concede him any material strength outside of a few states in the West, John W. Davis, is well liked throughout the country, but as yet there has been no pronounced swing to him, altho he is engaged in a vigorous campaign. The Republicans coined the phrase, "Keep Cool with Coolidge," and for the present the country is either doing that very thing or still in a halo of indecision. At any rate, no decided swing one way or the other has yet appeared. Senator LaFollette's arrangement of both the two major parties and his charging them with being much alike as two peas in a pod, is more likely to aid the Republicans than the Democrats. If the voters are convinced that there is nothing to choose between the two parties, and at the same time are convinced that LaFollette as president is an impossibility, the party in power will be the beneficiary of this attitude. Defection of the Republican party by prominent members of the race, such as Messrs. Lewis, Bruce, Henry and Fortune, does not indicate that a general desertion has commenced, but it does indicate that the intelligent Negro has begun to do some real political thinking, and thinking independently. Whether the Democrates will be able to cause the thinking Negroes to think democratic is another question. It is a safe prediction, however, that when election time comes there will not be enough members of the race converted to the safety of the Democratic party to give it the strength to win.

Madison, Pastor FREDERICKSBURG GETS ORGANIZATION SOCIETY MEETING Elaborate Preparations Made For Meeting of Negro Organization Society. Representative citizens of Fredricksburg met in the First Baptist Church at 8 p.m., September 12th, and organized a local committee which will have full charge of the reception and entertainment of the delegates to the 12th Annual Meeting of the Negro Organization Society, November 12-14 inclusive. Rev. J. A. Bacon, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Fredricksburg, principal of the Mayfield, and a member of the Executive Committee of the Negro Organization Society, was appointed chairman by unanimous consent, and Mrs. L. N. Robinson was assigned Secretary. In accepting the chairmanship of the committee, Rev. Mr. Bacotae said, "Frederickburg feels honored to have been chosen as the meeting place for a worthy body as the Negro Organization Society, and every citizen is going to full share toward men's pleas. Please note how those who come as representatives of this splendid organization." The chairman then proceeded to name various sub-committees, included among them were the following: 1. Committee on local speakers, to secure a welcome address each from some one representing the city government, and some person representing the special interests the youth of the criminals, he set a precedent, whether that was his intention or not. And, moreover, he opened up the flood gates for appeals from sentences of death already hanging over minors in Chicago and other parts of the country. A petition hearing 200,000 signatures has been forwarded to the board of pardons of Illinois asking for commutation of the death sentence of two other youthful Chicago murders now awaiting the hangman's moose. The petition is based on the theory that these young men poor and friendless, have no more right to hang than the millionaire boys. In the penitentiary in Pennsylvania is a nineteen year-old colored girl, Louise Thomas, who has been sentenced to die in October for the murder of a policeman. At her trial she plead self-defense. If she is electrocuted her will be the first woman's life the state of Pennsylvania has exacted in thirty years. Ten thousand women including prominent matrons throughout the State have instituted a movement looking toward the commutation of her sentence to life imprisonment. She is a female and a minor. Certainly if minors should not pay the extreme penalty, as Judge Caverly has reasoned, then certainly a female minor should be spared the cup. If justice be not blinded, the Chicago Judge's decision must be heard in Pennsylvania and Louise Thomas is entitled to the privilege of spend-is entitled to the privilege of spend-hind prison walls.
