Williams, owner of the famous Georgia "Murder Farm" near here, was freed on a $3,000 bond following his surrender Tuesday to Sheriff W. F. Pearson, of Jasper county where Williams, together with his father and other two brothers murdered colored farm hands whom were held as peons. Williams, who had evaded arrest for more than three years, demanded trial at the February term of the Jasper county court, last Tuesday, but due to the absence of several witnesses a continuance was asked until the August term of the court.

Figuring On Negroes In Next War A news dispatch from London says that military "experts" meeting here to plan how to fight the next war are studying the book of J. B. S. Haldane, called "The Defense in Chemical Warfare," in which Haldane declares that the next war will be fought largely by Negro troops directed by white officers. The "experts" are recalling the number of French and English colonial troops slaughtered in the last war, and give much credence to Haldanes prediction. Haldane declares that "colored troops can stand poison gas better than white." It is expected that perhaps the colonial peoples who are to be led to slaughter by the imperialistic nations which exploit their labor at home will make vigorous protest against Haldane's book. Reckless Driver Gets $20 Fine Driver of Car Which Collided With Ambulance Causing Woman's Death, Released From Manslaughter Charge P. C. Green, (white), driver of the Essex coach that collided with a Public Health Service ambulance at the intersection of Monticello avenue and Olney road shortly after midnight Tuesday, January 15, which accident resulted in the killing of Mrs. Mary K. Washington, of Alexander street who was standing on the corner to await the passing of the fast approaching cars, was fined $20 and costs by Police Justice Spindle Tuesday on a charge of violating the right of way section of the reckless driving ordinance. Green was arraigned on a manslaughter charge in the connection with the accident, but this charge was amended by Justice Spindle to be reckless driving. This action was brought about because of the fact that the court ruled that ambulances have the right of way over other vehicles regardless of which approached a street intersection and that Green had approached the corner at an excessive rate of speed, but that manslaughter charge against him would not stand as it was the ambulance which struck the woman causing her instant death. Mrs. Washington was the mother of four children and was on her way home from visiting a friend and was standing on the southwest corner of Monticello avenue and Olney road where she met her death. She was caught up on the bumper of the ambulance after it had collided with the Essex coach and was jammed against the brick wall of the dwelling on that corner. Her body was covered with the fallen bricks. BONUS FOR BIRTHS Constantinople.—The Ang or a government has voted to give a monthly bonus to the parents of eight children. In regards to the two other brothers, Marvin and Hulan Williams, involved in the wholesale murders and indicted by the state for murder and peonage, no word has been received concerning their whereabouts. Leroy Williams, after his release would not disclose the facts concerning the place of his retreat during the three years he was absent from the county. The arrests of the Williams Alam was the result of investigation which was occasioned by sensational discoveries of alleged poonage and killing in Jasper county and the discovery of dead bodies of men mysteriously chained and weighted in the Yellow river and the unearthing of several bodies that were buried in various places on the Williams' plantation in the spring of 1921. The Federal authorities' investigations on the farm had just given Williams a clean slate before the bodies of the three men were found in the river, but while investigating conditions on one of Williams' son's farms they found armed guards stationed over the men working in the fields. The arrest of all three of the Williams boys was then ordered. Clyde Manning, colored was the farm boss and he was indicted together with John Williams and his sons. The men were charged with the killing of the total of eleven men, in addition to the three in Newton county. The elder Williams was tried, found guilty of murder in the first degree and sentenced to life imprisonment by Judge John B. Hutchson, April 9, 1921. The verdict was the first of its kind to be returned against a white man in Jasper county carrying life sentence and it nearly took Williams and his friends off their feet. Where race people were concerned, the whites in this section practically make their own laws. The jury was composed mostly of young men and farmers who deliberated about 18 hours before a verdice could be reached. The trial lasted a week and aroused the interest of the people of all the adjoining counties. The court house was jammed with spectators during the trial, but perfect order was maintained and no heated scenes developed between the lawyers. Manning who turned State's evidence and his wife were the State's principal witnesses. After the verdict was returned and the sentence fixed by the judge, the defense attorneys immediately filed petition for a new trial which was denied.

Feb. 6—Isaac Caldwell, a race tenant farmer, filed suit for $1,000 on January 29, against his former landlord, P. H. Williams, alleging great humiliation and mental anguish as a result of the alleged beating the defendant administered to him in the court of Magistrate S. S. Strokes in December. Caldwell is represented by Redd and Small.

The court disagreement was over a division of Caldwell Farm product. The plaintiff contends that he offered no prosecution for the assault, but that Williams mal-treated him without cause. For alleged physical injuries he asks $500, and for punitive damages he asks $500. EXTRA!

C., Feb. 6—Members of highest social circles in Washington and North Carolina are in a state of fecivish anxiety because Henry W. Faison, (white) aged 33, son of former Congressman John Miller Faison, of North Carolina, married Miss Annia Nelson, colored maid on January 17. Young Faison has been placed it is said forbible, in St. Elizabeth's Sanitarium by his parents because of the marriage. Well known as an availer here, Faison is under the supervision and control, it is said, of the Veterans' Bureau. He is said to be suffering from bronchial trouble. Because of the furore the incident of the marriage raised in social circles it is expected that an effort will be made to have the marriage annuled on the ground that Faison was mentally irresponsible at the time of the ceremony. Close family friends last week said that the young man would be treated for alcoholism and mental aberration. It is said that Faison's father was found dead in his bedroom a bullet wound in his temple. Many believe he took his own life. This it is thought, will make it much easier for the family to establish a strain of mental weakness inherited by young Faison. CHRISTIAN STUDENTS CO-OPERATE IN SOUTH CHRISTIAN STUDENTS CO-OPERATE IN SOUTH Ru Wim Anthony Acry By Wm. Anthony Acky Hampton, Va., Feb. 5—William C. Craven, student secretary of the International Y. M. C. A., recently spoke to the Hampton Institute workers and students on "Ventures Made by Christian Students in the South." He referred to the four big questions which everywhere confront Christian students—war; relations; capital and labor and democracy for students, or the youth movement. He stated that students throughout the world are attempting to find their place in the world's work. He outlined the after-effects of the student convention at Indianapolis at which some 5000 representatives from 600 colleges, including 500 colored students from 100 institutions, attempted through frank discussion to discover how Christ would have them solve perplexing problems. He referred particularly to the interracial cooperation of college students in the South who have during the past year through forum discussion and helpful contacts, come to understand the problems which white and colored people everywhere face.

"The Ku Klux Klan in its practical effort is an attempt to unite in one crusade Protestant religion and nationalism or the non-racial religion of Christianity and the ultra racial Nordicism," declared Dr. Glenn Frank, editor of Century Magazine, speaking Thursday afternoon at a program of Women's Club of Orange. "Christ would be, the last person to connect with a movement impelled by race prejudice and dedicated to race persecution," the speaker continued. "I can understand religious fanaticism and can understand racial fanaticism and can think of them together in one crusade provided the religion were primitive and the god feudal, but I cannot understand Christianity and Nordicism together." Dr. Frank brought up the klan in its dealings with the race problem in America, which he says is a vital question that all the theologians in Christiandom cannot theorize out of existence. His lecture was on the three challenges of 1925 and he characterized religion, race and radicalism as the three R's of the present day and the issues which throw down to us the challenges for 1925. He asked for a pragmatic attitude toward religion, a Christian attitude toward race and a scientific attitude toward radicalism.

"I think so, but first we must set aside both the theories of the swash-buckling racial realist and those of the racial sentimentist who thinks he can solve the problem by calling everybody brother and squirting rose warter. Two things are involved: Scientific facts and social procedure, that is, what to do with the facts when found. The facts must be found in the laboratory, for Christianity has no contribution. Christ was not a scientist, and there is no more answer to this first point in the New Testament than there is a plan therefore disposing of sewage of the Oranges. When it comes to social procedure, Christianity recognizes the supremacy of moral values and emphasizes moral consideration and allows a reconsideration for personality and the individual human being."

COURT OF APPEALS AFFIRMS ACTION OF LOWER COURT COURT OF APPEALS AFFIRMS ACTION OF LOWER COURT Was Convicted In June 1923 And Given Five Years And Fined $1,000 For Using Mails To Defraud. SENSATIONAL TRIAL LASTED NEARLY YEAR New York, Feb. 2. The sentence of Marcus Garvey, self-elected provisional president of the invisible African Republic, who was indicted, tried, convicted, sentenced to five years in the Leavenworth penitentiary and fined $1,000 by Judge Mack of the U.S. District Court, of New York in June 1923, for using the United States mails to defraud with the sale of stock in the Black Star Line Steamship Company, a subsidiary organization of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, from which he appealed was affirmed here today by the United States Circuit Court of Appeals. Investigation into the affairs and activities of Garvey was brought about by people who became disgruntled as the result of their belief that they were being fleeced by the schemes of the leader of the Black Star Line and of the U. N. L. A. and he was arrested on the above stated indictments. The trial which lasted nearly a year was sensational from every angle, including Garvey's dismissal of his lawyer to plead his own case. Even the impainting of the jury which consumed nearly the entire day which grew out of the fact that the right of challenge was freely exercised, took an a sensational aspect. Repeated postponements of Marcus Garvey's trial allowed him to be free to roam the country at will, but the recent action of the court of appeals may now cause him to have to serve his sentence.

GREEN GIVES LECTURE ON WHAT IS THE SOUL FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH The church was filled to its limit Sunday afternoon to hear Dr. A. B. Green on his famous subject: "What Is The Soul." Dr. Green's silvery tone, eloquent manner, and wonderful flow of well arranged words held the audience spell-bound for more than an hour. He showed that man was created of dust of the earth, the wrong conception that God created him out of nothing. He refuted the idea that God has ever created something out of nothing. He argued that the formation of man was an organization and that when God breathed the breath of life, it was simply a certain substance as representation of that found in the air and the only medium that the soul can act upon is a human body. He recited several theories of the ancients in regards to the soul. He explained certain structures of human anatomy and the relationship. He gave the formation of brain and nerves. He pointed out how every act is but a response of the soul. He further showed the period at which the soul enters the body. Several very vital factors were argued to prove that all suffering and acts are but the external manifestation of the soul. He went on further and showed where the soul was situated. He asked if heaven was a city of pigmies or did the soul reach maturity during the period of the intermediate state and general resurrection? He argued the idea of the materialist in regards to the soul and also the embryo development and traced it until it became visible. He closed his discourse with the most beautiful climax telling where the soul was and vividly picturing the final state of the soul. --- The choir of the church sang, "Jerusalem, the Golden," so sweetly Sunday morning that it stirred up the souls of almost every one present. Miss Gladys School rendered two beautiful sales. Rev. Diamond spoke on the Consolation of Old Age, taken from I Samuel 10:4. He portrayed the life of Samuel from childhood to old age, showing his humbleness, forgiving spirit and how when he came to his last days he could ask the question: "Whose ox have I taken" and receives the answer, you have lived a clean and honest life. The pastor showed that one of the greatest sadnesses of old age was that the children failed to walk in their footsteps. He further showed that one of the consolations of old age was a clear conscience and a life that has been spent in the service of God. The church is holding up its motto: "A Soul Saved at Each Service." There were four to join church at the morning service. The topic for the Bible Class Wednesday night will be "Shining in the Church." Rev. J. C. Diamond conducted Communion Service for the Central Church as the pastor, Rev. Griffin was absent. TRINITY A.

Stone Finds Remarkable Way to Stop Rheumatic Pains in One Day Rheumatism, Neuritis, and that terrible suffering caused by stiff joints and muscles need not to be breded any longer since the discovery of Kurex Prescription. Now it is possible for those who are tortured with Rheumatism and sleepless nights to overcome these troubles often in one day's time, is the remarkable statement of one who has used the treatment. This amazing prescription is bringing renewed health and freedom from dread Rheumatism to thousands where everything else has failed.

'RUNNIN' WILD' PROVES VERY ENTERTAINING Miller and Lyles in "Running" Wild" a highly amusing musical entertainment were the attraction at the Academy Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. The audiences were with the players from the minute the curtain went up until the last scene. The songs and dances were clever and all of the principals could be classed as stars. The chorus was full of pop and worked with a will. Miss Hughes was particularly good in her songs and Miss Sarr brought down the house with "HeartBreaking Joe" and "Slow and Easy Goin Man." The little Charleston Dancer was especially pleasing. The big hit of the show of course is the screamingly funny dialogue of Miller and Lyles. They are just naturally funny and everything they do provokes a laugh. Their final number "Fistieuffs" was a fitting climax to two and a half hours of mighty fine entertainment LEROY WILLIAMS (Continued from Page One) Peonage Charge May Be Drowned Leroy Williams' bond was given for the charge of murder, and Federal officials in Atlanta stated that if the State pressed the killing charge, the peonage charge of the Government may be dropped. The Williams case was not the first of peonage that had been reported to the authorities. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peole had called to the attention of the Department of Justice numbers of other existing peonage farms in the South prior to the ghostly discovery of activities on the Williams' farm.

But before he does that pit sBgms more than likely that we will engage in one other contest— @prolably right here in New York, According to the most reliable Ninfofmation, Dempsey and Kearns have promised Tom Gibbons a ‘re- Stifre-mateh. “In fact Jack Kearns has admitted this much.

A. & T. drew first blood when Brown the lightning like center, crossed his way to the side line and made a beautiful overhand shot than passed through the wires without touching. But this appeared to be the only stimulus necessary to star Smith on its way for. it was “curtain” for A. &T. Pride and Anderson shared hon- ors on the Smith squad, with the former having a slight edge. Pride was responsible for 14 of Smith's points while Anderson caged 10. Clever passing and stellar team work were the outstanding fea- tures of Smith's playing.

On top of this, Hople sank anothe- field goal, Union appeared now ‘to be outclassed, but with the score 9 to 1 against them, by way of two eh by Walker, the local five be- gan to climb. The lone point so far secured by Union High came jas the result of a successful free throw by Borden. Union Ties Score A field goal and a successful Jattempt from the foul line by Bor- den accounted for three points, and [the score stood 9-1. Robinson tal- lied from the floor, “Billy” Borden sank another, and Jordan got’ the one point now necessary to tie the score at 9-9. Supporters for Un- ‘ion went wild.” They called ur- gently and loudly for even one point; anything they shrieked, to secure a lead, It was a tense moment. Any kind of score for cither team would mean much, Coach Johnson of Seminary foresaw the rally, and fe sent his star forward, and all- American quarterback, ‘Whedbee into the fray. A Union player fouled Whed- ee within the 17 foot line.

Both fights would be staged, either in the Yankee Stad- jum or Boyle's Thirty Acres, The announcement was the result of ‘an hour's conference with Gibbons [and his manager at which the St. Paul fighter came to definite terms with the promoter. Wills is al- ready under contract with Rickard. No binding agreement has been ‘yeached with Dempsey in connee- ‘tion with the proposed bouts, but doubts that he would be seen in ‘action again seems to be removed ‘ty a statement in Los Angeles by Jack Kearns, the champion’s man- ager, that Dempsey would give both Gibbons and Wills a chance at the title, Rickard avers that he expects no difficulty in coming to terms with Dempsey, The sy chronization of the statements of Kearns and Rickards, leading fight experts, accustumed to mid-winter cautions and contradiction in the business of the ring gaine, jumped at the conclusion that the program ‘of two title fights here this year was as good as clinched.

Calm and cool, Whedbee made the first attempt, but the try failed. The famous “Whirlwind” said something under his breath—we did not hear it. Slowly, this tims, Whedbee tossed the ball. It swished through, and the “Dragons” had sent home the telling” blow. Union made several attempts to ov:itake the lead, but fell ex- hausted by the way. The score at half time was 12-11 in Seminary's favor. Last Half Rally The last half was featured by rallies by both teams. Scores by Steptoe, Whedbee, Patrick, Perry, and Watson ~ccounted for Semi- nary’s 12 poins in the last 20 minutes. Borden, Nelson, and Rob- inson secured two cach for the lo- cals in the last frav:*, Borden of Union with 7 points was high point man. Robinson with 6 points; Steptoe and Hoyle of Sem- inary.

Le a is gai ge . Hampton, Va., Jan 31—The fa- mous Dragon of mythology entered the sanctum of the Seasiders to- day disguiseed as the basketball team of the Virginia Seminary and College of Lymhburg, but its sinewy coils failed to claw effect- ively enough to break Hampton's string of consecutive victories, and Hampton repulsed the attack with case in a loosely played game. The final score stood 40 points for Hampton and 11 for the Seminary “Dragons.” The game as a whole was slow and uninteresting. But a few of the players put themselves into it with the fight and spirit that lends color and interest to any contest. Some did, and chief among tthem wis “Shorty” Lambright, Hamp- ton’s dwarfish but sensationally playing forward. Covering the court in admirable style, this ear- nest player fought from the be- ginning to near the completion of the game when Coach Williams sent a substitute to relieve him. ‘The spectators applauded Lam- bright's playing heartily, and when he came out, they cheereed him, Hargrove got the tap for Hamp- ton on the first play.

Following closely on this shot came another two points when Hargrove sank a field goal to send the score to to 0, Steptoe fol- lowed with a field goal for Sem- inary to come within two points of tying the seore. The score, how- ever was never tied, for under the close guarding of Captain Jones and es-Captain Langston Semi- nary’s big guns were spiked. Whedbee, usually the most dan- serous player on the visiting team was held scoreless throughout the fray. He was, however, in every play, and by his accurate passing accounted for many points indi- reetly. At half time the score stood 13 to 6 in the local’s favor. Dragon is Smothered The astonishim% part of today’s contest rests in the manner in which the Blue and White offense of Hampton piled up the sedre de- spite the listless effort that some- times characterized their play. Against Seminary, despite the stubborn resistence offered, the Seasiders van amuck. They were like a novice viding a motoreycle through a crowd—roving roaming, but still leaving the erowd baffied ‘and bewildered. Today Steptoe scored four points; Patrick, a substitute, earned five points; and Perry looped in one field goal. Semi- naty’s lone points in the last half were those five of Patrick's. ‘This was all, Seminary outside of these eleven points never was able to rally threatenly. You ean picture ‘a spasmodically thrilling game, with a gradually increasing score for the winners, and a point here and there for the losers.

HOWARD U.GOES EXTRA SESSION TO LIGK MORGAN Ballimore, Jan. 30—Before one of the largest crowds that ever witnessed an intercollegiate game in Baltimore, Howard University basketball team won a most thrilling battle by the score of 44-43. Morgan got away to an early lead, Young scoring a floor basket from a difficult angle. This was followed by pretty shots by Sheffy and Hill, giving Morgan a 6 point lead. Here Howard broke the ice by a goal from foul line, followed by a shot by Carpenter directly under the basket. Then by pretty pass work Howard was able to get a comfortable lead through the good team work of Lee McCoy, and Meroney. Morgan's defense then tightened and a few spectacular shots from the center of the floor by Sheffy, Hill, and Young, the half ended with Howard on the short end, the score being 23-18 in favor of Morgan. In the second half Morgan seemed to be baffled by the pretty passing, pivoting and shooting of the Howardites and before time was called Morgan found Howard had been able to gather a total of 40 points. This tied the score and necessitated an extra period when Howard was awarded 2 free shots which Cobbs made. This was followed by a pretty shot under the basket by Washington who was sent into the game when Carpenter was put out on personal fouls. Hill of Morgan made a desperate effort to overcome this three point lead but was only successful in getting one long shot from the center. The game ended with Howard in possession of the ball.

College was completely deluged. In the first half Morehouse completely outclassed and outplayed her opponents making 32 points to A. & T's 8. The last half was a repetition of the first with the A. & T. basketceteers shooting a little more accurately. Throughout the game the Morehouse players showed an excellent passing system.

ANNUAL CLASSIC TO BE STAGED ANNUAL CLASSIC TO BE STAGED Howard And Lincoln Will Meet In Philadelphia And Play Game According To Contract. --- (Tribune Press Service) Lincoln University, Feb. 5. The football teams of Howard and Lincoln Universities will meet in Philadelphia next Thanksgiving Day and play their annual game according to contract. This fact was definitely settled today when the Lincoln Athletic Commission, including faculty, alumni and student representatives, met and discussed the matter from every angle. Two-Year Contract The fact that a two-year contract exists between the two colleges was the big factor in bringing about the decision to play the game. Last year, Howard in bringing Lincoln to Washington kept her part of that contract and the commission felt duty bound to stage the game in Philadelphia, as promised. Serving on the commission that handed down this decision were Dean George Johnson, Professors H. F. Grimm and Prof. Coles, faculty representatives; Dr. George Cannon and Mr. E. Washington Rhodes, alumni representatives. Among the student representatives were Jones, Archer, Polk, line coach "Sty" Woods. Physical Director U. S. Young was also present. Backs C. I. A. A. BACKS C. I. A. A. The commission in its entirety expressed itself as in sympathy with the C. I. A. A. and its policies, and opposed to the Howard policy, but the fact that Howard had fulfilled her part of a two-year contract, staging the game in Washington, made the Lincoln commission feel duty bound to go through with Lincoln's part of the contract. Association Rules Enforced The game is to be played under the C. I. A. A. a eligibility rules which means that any player that the association would rule to be ineligible will be ineligible in the big game. Public A Consideration The commission also considered the public in deciding the question. It is a fact that the Howard-Lincoln game is the biggest athletic event that we have. It has reached such a position in the public mind that the breaking of a contract in the wrecking of a would seriously shake the public confidence in collegiate athletics. No C. I. A. A. Lincoln Break The commission has its act with the C. I. A. A. No other contracts for games exist between Lincoln and Howard and no others will be made under the present C. I. A. ruling that no member of the C. I. A. A. should play Howard. It is hoped by the commission that the breach between Howard and the C. I. A. A. can be adjusted. It was further expressed that every adjustment possible would be made to keep up the great interest that is being exhibited in intercollegiate sport by the public. Nothing should be done to kill the spirit that is growing in collegiate sport. E. WASHINGTON RHODES (By Associated Negro Press) Atlantic City, N.

UNION STREET BEATS HOWARD Beat Wilmington, Delaware Team In Brilliant Game Union High Girls Down Huntington Hi Girls' Team By P. BERNARD YOUNG. JR. Hampton, Va., Jan 30—Shaking off the dangerous attack of the Howard High School basketball team of Wilmington, Delaware, just enough to maintain a lead through three periods of play, and scoring in the last period with enough regularity to easily assure it a victory, the Union High School team of this city won a fiercely contested game from the visitors by 28 to 15 score. Opening up with a rush, both Howard High and Union High indicated that the victory would not be an easy one for either team. And it was not. At the completion of the first quarter of play the score stood 6-2 in the local's favor; at half time Union High was leading by two points with the score 10 to 8; and at the end of the third period of play Union was leading, 17 to 12. After the third period of play Union had complete mastery over the opposing team in the matter of scoring and eased on to victory. Union Girls Win The Union High School girls' basketball team defeated the girls' team from the Huntington High School of Newport News by a 11 to 3 score. This game came off before the boys contest, and was evenly fought until Union's first string girls went into the fray. Then the score shot up. Miss Johnson was the star of the night with 6 points. Nelson, Borden, Diggs and Jordan were outstanding for Union. Anderson, Jones, Jackson and Hollis were the visitors' stars. Borden with 9 points was high scorer. Diggs with 7 points was next. Nelson with 6 points and Anderson with 5 came next in scoring.

DEFEATED BYMOOREHOUSE --- Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 5—Morehouse College showed herself complete master of Atlanta University when they defeated them in an exciting game of basketball Friday afternoon, January 30. The score does not give an inking of the game that was played because A. U. although outplayed, in all departments of the game, showed a wonderful fighting spirit. Whenever Morehouse and Atlanta University mix in athletics it is bound to be a good game and this was no exception. Excitement ran high in the first part of the last half when A. U. tied Morehouse 26-26 and 30-30. However, when the game closed Morehouse had tallied 53 points while the A. U. players were able to make six additional points. In the first half, A. U.'s defensive tactics kept the Morehouse scoring machine in check and the end of the half Morehouse had 21 points while A. U. lagged six points behind. In the first part of the last half Roberts of A. U. started shooting some uncanny baskets, until Dohbs was put in to guard him. Bailey led the march for Morehouse making 15 points and Trayler stepping on his heels with 14 points. Roberts took individual honors for A. U. making 18 points. THE LINEUP Morehouse—53 A.

BERNARD YOUNG, JR. Newport News, Va. Jan. 31—Huntington high school of this city defeated the strong Howard high school basketball five of Wilmington, Del., tonight in a hard fought game, by 30 to 17. Using Mayer as the chief and most dependable offensive weapon, the local quint overcame a lead obtained by the visitors early in the first tap-off, Howard high was in the lead on a free throw scored by Henderson. Spivey made good a free throw and tied the score at 1 to 1. Williams sank a shot for Huntington and Ayers retaliated for Howard with a free throw. With the count 3-2 Taylor scored a beautiful field goal and sent Howard into a lead, but Mayer accounted for two points on free throws and put Huntington ahead. This lead was never relinguished by the local five. "Kid" Newport won a technical decision over "One Round" Winfield in the fifth round of a scheduled five round bout staged as a preliminary. Winfield plainly was the better fighter, but neither seemed anxious to mix it. Newport weighed 147 pounds and Winfield 149. Jack Rabbit $5.00 MEN'S SHOES BEST IN THE WORLD FOR SALE BY M. J.

Religion gives freedom. {Every individual who is not free irom the thraldom of sin is a slave Jand must suffer a divine punish- iment, for ‘whatsover a man sow- eth, that shall he also reap.’ ” Explaining that David, who had sinned, against the laws of man and God, was punished through jorrow, he drew comparisons be- fern tho lives of those who were the victims of sinfulness ond those who were now. “Sin brings jorrow and sadness through end- less trouble,” he said, “and one who lives under the veil of sin, loses the sweet touch which associ- fates people of God, therefore, Dav- a who had sinned, prayed to be restored to lost joy.” “Bvery man has a desire to get jout of his avocation, whatever line Not endeavor he follows,” he con- tinued, “but joy comes only thru ‘righteous labor.

Harris Ways.” It is no necessary to be poor, he said, an¢ gave a reason for poverty, mans conditions which could be relieved by the authorities of government, ‘and, the people themselves. Lack ‘of employment, he said was one ‘of the hardest to remedy. He gave as another contributory eause taxation on the necessities of life —the burden of which always falls ‘upon the poor and never upon the rich, ‘Then there were other caus- es recited which he charged the poor themselves were directly re- sponsible for. Every country, he said, has its peasantry, but in ‘America, no man who works makes so little that be cannot save some of his earnings. Thrift. ines, he said, was one of the greatest deterrents to poverty. Giving ignorance as another cause he stated that so numerous were the free schools and colleges of the country there was now no possible excuse for anyone not se- curing an education which would qualify them for more lucretive positions for which there is such a great demand for trained workers. Should Support Race Enterprises Referring to the immediate con- dition of the race. he said, it was partly attributable to its indiffer- ence to the support of race enter- prizes and institutions. ‘That the race's economie condition depended largely upon the success of its business enterprises which could not possibly succeed without the hearty support of members of the race. Unlike white enterprises, he said, they could dpend only upon the support of their own people. Giving an illustration of how the support of enterprises conducted by members of the race would im- prove its economic status as a whole, he stated that race enter prises were giving dignified em- ployment to young men and wom- en of the race that they could not hope to get from white firms and that the more numerous and suc- cessful race enterprises would be- come the firmer would be the ec- onomie foundation cf the race as a whole, Rev.

The program was called “Negro Ideals and Activities,” and consist- ‘ed of ten scenes depicting every phase of the business and profes- jonal life in which our: Gone. is en- gaged. At the same time that the ideal was set forth a contrasting ‘actuality was also shown and thus ‘the lesson of group development Was effectively stressed. For in- stance, the scene showing the ideai ‘physician in thorough examina- tion of a patient and the modern very effective method of injecting remedies directly into the blood, was followed by the advent of the all too prevalent root doctor and quack who preys ape superstition and ignorance and does much to keep up our already too high death rate. ‘A splendid lesson in co-operation was also taught by the . whole- hearted way in which the business and professional men of the city gave their time and means to make Program a success. The churches Sehools and lodges also lent them- selves unreservedly.

C., Feb. 4.—Consman Martin B. Madden, ofinois, or Congressman Nicholongworth, of Ohio, will in alllhood be the next Speaker of House of Representatives. Ause February 27th is called to Congressman Madden began life as a poor boy. He came up politically, through all the various stages of political progress on the Southside. He has become one of the most conspicuous men in public life, and as chairman of the appropriations committee, he has great power in Congress. He has been conspicuous in many of his efforts for Aamerican justice. Many of these things he has done never saw publicity. He has been like Gilbraltar in the appropriations for Howard University. He has fought Jim Crow cars South without much success, but the service is constantly improving and some believe that the day will come when the whole system will go blues! Chicago slants on human problems are different from Cincinnati slants. Like the Colonel's lady and the Widow O'Grady who were sisters under the skin, a white Congressman from Cincinnati and the same from Chicago may be brothers under the skin, but the citizen votes every two years may make a conspicuous difference Congressman Madden may "cuss like a sailor" when he reflects that he is held in his job by black votes, but he always gives very respectful consideration to suggestions hailing from the leaders of the First District of Illinois, Colored Americans of Chicago have political power and they know how to use it judiciously, effectively and most intelligently. They can feel the pulse beats of Washington as well as Chicago and Illinois.

He spent an hour or two looking for Redgate avenue before he discovered that no such address existed. "Oh, well," he decided, "I haven't got a job, but I've still got my money." And he ripped open the envelope. Instead of $4 inside, there was nothing but four strips torn from a newspaper. It began to dawn upon the Boston boy that somebody had done him wrong, so he went to police headquarters. There he learned that he had been subjected to one of the favorite tricks of the flim-flamming fraternity. "You know, sir," said the Boston boy, in explaining his predicament to Detective Nowitzky, "when I opened that envelope and found only paper inside, I could have expired from exasperation." That's one of the flim-flam swindler's methods of extracting money from the unwary. It was a different process that was used on Bennie Banks, a colored farmer from York County, a few nights ago. Proposition Sounded Easy Banks came down from his home up Bull's Island way for a boat load of fertilizer. Just before time for his boat to start on the return trip, he remembered some shopping instructions from his wife and went up on Church street to carry them out. On the way he met two engaging strangers. One of them confided to him that the other fellow was a "green horn" and that he had a big roll of money—more than $800—from which he could be easily separated. Now Banks was not a thief, but the way the "slick-tongued fellow"—that's the way the victim described him—explained the case it wouldn't really be stealing to blea a sucker. Then—the green horn having obligingly stepped into a store—the film-flammer explained the proposed strategy. "We'll get him in a crap game," he said. "Just to make everything seem straight to him, you pretend to play—just put up your money on the bets—and when I get through cleaning him, I'll split with you." Banks refused, hesitated, then fell. And when the fake crap game was over, he was minus $17. Fortunately, he already had purchased the things his wife had instructed him to buy. "What I found out," Banks said in reporting the incident to the police, "was that I was the green horn the bird was talking about all the time, and the other fellow was the slick-tongued fellow's partner."

NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1925 WASHINGTON The Nation's Capital Many Hear Dr. Hope And Heywood Broun at Urban League Meeting Urban League Pictured As Greatest Agency So Far Projected For Betterment Of Colored People In Cities. "The Eclipse and Racial Friction," Ably Discussed Democrats Oppose Crampton Bill To Federalize Howard Induced by conditions arising at every session of Congress, when some Democrat objects to the appropriation for Howard University, Representative Crampton of Michigan, has introduced a bill into Congress to make an annual appropriation for the great national Negro University. Five Democrats headed by B. G. Lowery of Mississippi, made a minority report and argued at length against the bill. They claim that it is illegal and always has been to appropriate money for Howard. They also showed by facts from Monroe Work's Year Book that the race is prosperous and ought to support its own university. Washington Teachers Again In Limelight The Pollyanna Club, an organization of young society matrons who are wives of socially prominent physicians and business men with a few sponsors from among the elite, gave two shows at Lincoln Theater, last week, and introduced dances which caused a howl of protest that has riven the city in twain. Dean Lucy Slowe of Howard tried to get first assistant superintendent Wilkinson to stop the show and she condemned teachers for fostering Mr. Wilkinson to the matter public and said the schools had nothing to do with the matter. Since that time the ministers have taken it up and the air is full of rumors. One dance was by a Baltimore teacher and the other was by a professional from a musical comedy.

Many Heart And Heywo Urban Leag Urban League Picture So Far Projected Fored People In Citi Racial Friction," Ab New York, N. Y.-That the Urban League has only begun to realize its responsibility to the Negro in America, was the leading thought advanced by Dr. John Hope, President of Morehouse College at the Annual Meeting of the New York Urban League at Salem Church in this city, Sunday afternoon. Heywood Broun, of the N e w York World, speaking on "The Eclipse and Racial Friction," ventured the prediction that a Negro would come whose genius and influence will be so great it will catch the imagination of the world the imagination of the world and cause the disabilities of his race to disappear. "Roland Hayes," said he, "has done much to dispel from the minds of thousands the inferiority complex. All real great humanizing movements have followed the wake of some great soul. This man may already be born or he may be born any moment. When he comes the day is yours." Recognizes New Trend In Population Dr. Hope declared that the Urban League s the greatest agency so far projected for the betterment of colored people n cities. "The significant word in the name Urban League is 'Urban' as it indicates the recognition for the first time of a new trend in Negro population. Until recently from 70 to 80 per cent of the Negro population was living in the country. In spite of all handicaps the country Negro succeeded. Then almost suddenly a movement towards the city occurred. Some few people, white and colored, were discerning enough to forecast the dire need that might come to these country dwellers as they trekked cty-ward. Further- SLEMP REMEMBERED UPON RETIREMENT The services to our group were marked by the presentation of a token of esteem last week. A delegation composed of Henry Lincoln Johnson, Perry W. Howard assistant attorney general, Arthur Froe, recorder of deeds, John D Gainey of the post office department, L. I. Mellinger, and Dr Harris of the register's office, told Mr. Slemp how his services were appraised. He at all times had sympathetic for our group and carried important matters direct to Mr. Coolidge. Mattess too small for big men to think about, got his attention. Last summer Mr. Slemp interested him self in a colored summer school in his district in Virginia, and he greatly aided them.

Spectacular Inauguration Is Being Stagee The main inaugural committee headed by W. T. Gallier, banker, has named as members of the auxiliary committee, Thos. L. Jones, president of the Coolidge and n Dawes league, J. Finley Wilson, Grand Exalted Ruler of the Elks of the World, John R. Hawkins, Miss Nannie Burroughs, Dr. Emmet T. Scott, Mrs. Mary L.

A monster inaugural ball has been announced to include the visiting bands among which is to be the famous 24th infantry band of the army, and the bands of the 15th New York, the 8th Illinois, and the Massachusetts guards. The band of the army has been chosen for the function. The Crispus Attucks is the official headquarters for the inaugural committee. Dr. Hope good Broun at ague Meeting ed As Greatest Agency for Betterment Of Col- es. "The Eclipse and ly Discussed more, they realized the great possi- bilities that existed for these new city folk if some concerted effort was not made to get them employment, house them, and help them generally to find themselves in this new environment—this new world. The result of this Urban League venture is that people, white and colored, have been made to think of the city-dwelling Negro. Improvement Merely Material But much of this improvement has been merely material, and perhaps we have been too satisfied to reflect on this simple food—and—clothes aspect of our life; as if life were mere food and clothes. The spiritual and practical message of Christ was that life is more than meat and the body more than riment; and one important part of this divine message is this: That those who make of life only food and clothes will soon find themselves even physically hungry and naked. The Urban League therefore, to accomplish its greatest task must, turn all this economic advantage into the building of stirring character among Negroes. Will the City Negro be a Builder? The City Negro has yet to show that he will be a builder. The country Negro has faced the devastation of nature and the hostility of human beings, and still carried on. So that when he came to the city he often brought the price of a home, the courage of a pioneer and proceeded to make the most of his new environment. Will the Negro in the city face his advantages and handicaps and do as well? He will not be able to do it alone. The Urban League has depending upon it the success or failure of millions of people seeking improvement in an entire- ly new environment and vocation. We talk about the Harlem attitude, the Harlem point of view. But there is no great fundamental difference between Harlem and other groups of city Negroes, and one thing Harlem needs to learn is this: that while it may supply temporary protection, the proper outcome ought to be that Negroes in that group will learn to walk alone, develop independence, be able to walk out of Harlem and hold their own with any other people in all things that go to make a people or an individual worthwhile in this great American body-politic." Arthur C. Holden, president of the League presided, being introduced by John E. Neal. The report of the executive secretary, James H. Hubert, indicated that the accomplishments of the New York Urban League in 1924 had surpassed those of any previous year. The public evidenced its interest in the League's program by contributing nearly $40,000 during the past year. EDENTON Edenton, N.

Haitcox, guests of the Madam C. J. Walker Mfg. Co., on a trip to and from Palestine with all expenses paid. Upon debarking from the palatial Steamship Paris at Harve, France, January 14, they sent the following cablegam: "Arrived safely, all well." Writing three days later from the Hotel Bedford, Rue de la Arcade, (Madeleine), their residence while in Paris, among other things they had this to say: "Fine thus far. No one could have bettered things. The people are as nice as can be. Only wish I could stay in Paris. The people here are all smiles. Best regards to all the firm, especially Madam Walker. Will be back in Paris in thirty days." After traversing lofty Switzerland and extensive sight-seeing in sunny Italy, the party has reached Cairo, Egypt, from whence comes the following cablegram: "Party well. Receiving rich experiences."

Features - Virginia and North Carolina News - Editorials Appropriate Exercises Held at President's Day Celebration at V.N.I.I. Dr. W. T. Johnson Spoke On "Life and Work of the Late President Johnston." Mrs. H. B. Hunter, of Suffolk, Told of "Life of Mrs. Della Irving Hayden." Others Speak Petersburg, Va.—Presidents' Day was celebrated at the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute, Friday, January 23. Exercises were held in the chapel at 8 p. m. at which time the history of the Institute was reviewed by Major William H. Johnson, of Petersburg "The Life and Works of the late President, James Hugo Johnston," was spoken by Dr. W. T. Johnson, pastor of the First Baptist Church, Richmond, Va., and the "Life of Mrs. Della Irving Hayden" was treated by Mrs. Helen Brett Hunter, of Suffolk, Va. Major Johnson spoke from personal knowledge of the facts in the establishment and development of the Institute, for her came into close relationship with the Institute especially in its early years. He has followed closely the growth of the Institute throughout its forty-two years of existence from an institution of a single building, one hundred and fifty students, and thirteen faculty members to its present number of twenty-three buildings, and eighty-eight faculty members. He enumerated the principal characteristics of the Honorable John Mercer Langston, the first President, and showed how his great spirit of inspiration and courage still shows itself in the lives of those who came under his influence. Reverend Dr. Johnson, in his calm impressive manner, characterized President J. H. Johnston. The details brought out in the life of his subject justified the conclusion that all who really knew President Johnson have arrived at, namely that he was a man of high moral ideals, upright, Christian character, and keen intellectual perception. The recent shock, because of the untimely death of Mrs. Della L. Hayden has not faded from the minds of those who knew her. This recency gave added weight to the speech of Mrs. Hunter, who clearly outlined the unselfish work of this noble woman, who for 14 years served in the capacity of lady principal at this institution, and for 21 years gave her life to the cause of trying to give the boys and girls of her native county of Southampton, Va., better opportunities for secondary education. The exercises aimed to acquaint the students with the early history of the Institute and the work of those whose labors made possible the present Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute.

Craver, a member of the international committee of Y. M. C. and in charge of the National student secretaries of the Y. M. C. A. spent January 23, 24 at the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute. Mr. Collins gave two especially excellent scientific lectures to the student body on the subject of "Race Relationships" and "International Relationships." The open forums, which were conducted on two evenings, gave the students and faculty members the opportunity to ask and to discuss with these men any questions in their minds relative to these two perplexing questions. Each session was crowded to the utmost capacity of the rooms, and intense interest was shown in the subjects by the students. Mr. Collins pointed out the fallacy in the argument in favor of the idea of race superiority, and gave scientific evidence to disprove the claim. Mr. Collins' ideas are in line with those of Professor Boaz, of Columbia University; Dr. Paris, of the sociological department of the University of Chicago and also with that as of Mr. Albert A. Hopkins, associate editor of the Scientific American, as expressed in the article entitled "Which Races Are Best", appearing in the Scientific American of February, 1925. "Prejudice of any kind," said Mr. Collins, "is based upon ignorance." Therefore if we ever hope to banish prejudice it must be done through knowledge gained by wholesome contact: The Student Volunteer Movement: recognizes this fact, and it is putting forth efforts to establish this kind of contact among all the races of America. On the matter of war, Mr. Collins is quite progressive in his thinking. He showed how possible it would be for nations in the future to engage in war and survive. The vast increase of casualties in the World War as compared with what men deemed a tremendous calamity in the Civil War of America illustrates, in a measure, what effect the advancement in the scientific knowledge has had on rendering war a close approximation of what Sherman termed it. To use the recently developed deadly weapon against nations in any future war of large proportion will mean national suicide. What then, says Mr. Collins? For the preservation of nations, men must come to realize the basic doctrine of Christianity, "Love the neighbor as thyself," and where love is, strife can not end. ference is raised. Mr. Rockefeller is a native of Cleveland. Miss Jane Hunter, the founder of the home, began the work a few years ago practically single handed and under great handicaps. She heldivered, and made even her bittest opponents respect her. That's the way to do it.

WAYS OF KEEPING LIGHT BILLS LIGHT Writing on the question of "Keeping Light Bills Light," in the February Woman's Home Companion, Mary Ormsbee Whitton offers the following suggestions: "First, find out from your light-ing company the precise voltage of lamp which can be used to best advantage on your circuit. If you are using lamps of too high voltage, they will burn dimly, and in self-defense you will be turning on more light than you really need. "After you have made sure that your lamp voltage is correct and the lights still seem dim, instead of substituting those of larger wattage, try washing the glassware. It is marvelous how quickly dust accumulates on bulbs and shades, especially those hung from the ceiling. And it is also marvelous how thoroughly a little dust will choke off the brilliance of the best lamp made. Offices and business buildings find that it pays them to hire washers to keep their lamps and fixtures clean, and housewives can profit from their example. "Next be sure that the lamps you buy are of standard make; the cheaper ones offered at "cucates,' are usually made to sell, and not to burn, and quickly lose their efficiency."—Woman's Home companion.

BANNERS, BADGES, REGALIA FOR ALL SOCIETIES DRAWER-827 MASONIC TEMPLE DIVERSIFICATION OF CROPS URGED AT FARM CONFERENCE Thirty-fourth Annual Negro Conference At Tuskegee Presided Over By Dr. Moton. Big Poultry Show. (By Associated Negro Press) T. kegee Institute, Ala., Feb. 5. That success for Negro farmers of today is clearly linked up to two essentials "economic and honest effort" was the key-note of the thirty-fourth annual Tuskegee Negro Conference which closed here Thursday evening after a two days' session in which "A Balanced Program For Farming and Firm Life", had been the subject and which was presided over by Dr. Robert Moton. The first day was designated as Farmers' Day and the activities centered around farming and farm life. Farm products of every variety were exhibited. Farm machinery was demonstrated and farm problems were discussed. One of the features was the poultry show comprising some 400 chickens belonging to 1011 exhibitors. Another was an exposition on urging improved homes. This was emphasized by two types of dwellings: one the one room type, unsanitary and poorly furnished; the other a well appointed cottage neatly kept and attractively furnished. Overcoming the boll weevil, preparation of fertilizers and the business side of farming were other phases of farm life discussed. Dr. H. O. Sargeant, Federal agent of the Board of Vocational Education of Washington, D. C., and Dr. Moton delivered the principal addresses. Dr. Sargeant explained the work being done for Negroes in the South under the Smith-Hughes Act and cited progress which had been made. Dr. Moton referred to increasing competition in foreign production of cotton and pointed out that the cost of production was constantly increasing. It was therefore up to the farmer, he showed, to use the utmost economy in production and emphasized the need of diversification of corps. He said in part "One undesirable effect of depending upon cotton alone is that it increases the hazard of farming due to climatic and other natural causes. Bankers, planters and merchants can render a great service to Negro farmers by helping them finance corn, wheat, poultry and dairy products in the same manner as cotton. With a varied crop on hand the farmer will more evenly distribute his financial risks and at the same time feed himself." Washington, N. C. Washington, N. C.-Rev. S. D. Moton filled his pulpit at t h e Spring Garden Baptist Church at 11 o'clock. At 3 o'clock, Rev. J. R. Brittee, of Edenton, N. C., delivered an excellent sermon and the Holy Communion was administered. The funeral of Rev. John Walker was held Sunday, January 25 at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church of which he was a member for thirty years or more. Rev. Walker died Wednesday night at 9:30 o'clock at his home on Blounts Road. He leaves a wife, five sons and a host of relatives and friends. "Mr. H. C.

FRED PALMER'S LABORATORY Degt. P-3 SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1925 EDITOR OF THE EMANCIPATION APPEALS CASE Claim That Virgin Isles Editor Was Tried By Political Enemy. Jury Trial Refused New York, Feb. 5.—Freedom of the press in the Virgin Islands from arbitrary interference by white officials will be tested in the U. S. Circuit Court at Philadelphia in the appeal of Rothschild Francis, editor of the Emancipator, sentenced to thirty days on January 10th on a charge of criminal libel for an article charging brutality against a policeman. The American Civil Liberties Union which will assist in carrying up the appeal states that Francis was trial without a jury before District Judge Washington Williams at St. Thomas, who is "known to be his political enemy." According to the Union the conviction is "the climax of a long political fued between Francis and the naval administration, particularly Judge Williams, whose appointment the editor opposed." Efforts on behalf of Francis will also be made by the N. A. C. P., and by the Associated Virgin Island Societies of New York headed by Casper Holstein. He will be represented by A. A. Berle Jr., New York attorney who has specialized in Virgin Island matters. The article for which Francis was indicted appeared in the December 27th issue of the Emancipator under the heading "A Native Batesko," and read as follows: "Something is wrong with our police force", everybody is saying. Recently a policeman fired a shot which lodged in the tub of a private citizen, then he attempted a false arrest, and before we are about to go to press he used his club in a brutal manner on a woman that he was ordered to take home, we understand. Merchants and other citizens are indignant. How long, O Justice! How Long? Francis was arraigned before Judge Washington Williams on January 6th. He pleaded not guilty and was tried on January 9th and 10th. The indictment filed by Government Attorney Charles H. Gibson, named Phillip Mathias a member of the St. Thomas police force as the policeman meant in the Emancipator article. Francis was charged with publishing "a certain false, scandalous, defamatory libel of and concerning him, Phillip Mathias, containing false, scandalous, wicked, malicious, mischievous and defamatory and libellous words and matters." Francis' request for a jury trial was denied. The following statement on the case was issued today by the Civil Liberties Union: "Rothschild Francis was tried and found guilty by a man whom he has opposed as hostile to the welfare of the Virgin Islands. In reply to criticisms by Francis appearing in the New York Times Current History Magazine, Washington Williams when Government Attorney and Police Judge of the Virgin Islands, published an article in the January 26, 1924 issue of the St. Thomas Mail Notes, attacking Francis as 'the loudest-mouthed howler on the subject of the freedom of the press' and a 'calmity-howler and publicity-seeker.' "On July 7, 1924 Francis published in the Emancipator two protests against the appointment of Williams to his present post of district judge. One protest was addressed to President Coolidge by the Associated Virgin Islands Societies of New York, the other to Governor Phillip Williams by the Civil Liberties Union, specifically warning that 'the feeling between Williams and the inhabitants of the Islands has been so notoriously bitter that they fear he would use his new post to settle old scores.' "Articles criticising the naval administration appeared in the Emancipator in August and September. Attempts to punish Francis were made several times unsuccessfully. Government Attorney Charles H. Gibson, who filed the present indictment, threatened Francis with a libel suit following charges of election irregularities appearing in the Emancipator or September 27th and 29th. "Under these conditions it is a travesty on justice for Judge Williams to try Francis without a jury. The article for which Francis was indicted is purely political. His conviction by a political foe is a dangerous form of press censorship." Judge Washington Williams is a native of Maryland. He has of- ten been accused by Virgin Island papers of anti-Negro prejudice. Frequent protests against naval rule in the islands have been sent to the government by Virgin Islanders and their friends. A bill establishing a permanent civil government in the Islands is now pending in Congress.

For two years the litigation and stubborn court battles have been zealously followed by the divorce fans who crowded every session of the court at which the case was called, eager to hear perhaps the allusions to moral indiscretions which many seemed to expect, but attorneys on each side were careful to protect the names of other people although many were mentioned in the counter charges. A brief history of this most sensational case follows: Mrs. Majors' first divorce suit was filed against the doctor in January, 1923, charging adultery. The case was tried before Superior Judge Hurley and dismissed. In May, 1923, the present bill was filed in the circuit court and a few days later Dr. Majors was arrested for having struck Mrs. Majors. The case was dismissed when he appeared for trial in the municipal court. On June 4, 1923, the doctor was again arrested at the instigation of Mrs. Majors, who charged that he was carrying concealed weapons She sought to have him sent to the bridewell, but the court placed Dr. Majors on probation. The next day, on complaint of Mrs. Majors, the doctor was sent to the Psychopathic hospital as insane. After a bitter struggle before Judge John J. Sullivan, the doctor was released on a writ of habeas corpus. The decision of Judge Rush in granting the decree to Mrs. Majors was summed up as follows: that the evidence in the case was conflicting that the preponderance of same was in her favor; that solicitors' fee of $259.00 should be granted her together with an undivided half interest on the beautiful property at 4450 Prairie avenue.

EMERSON POINTS OUT METHODS OF CHILD TRAINING "The better the boy, the better the brain," is the title of an article on child health by Dr. William R.P. Emerson in the February Woman's Home Companion. After setting forth that the mental welfare of the child is closely tied up with his physical well-being, Dr. Emerson lays down four mental essentials of health: "The first requisite of these mental essentials of health is the teaching of obedience. The child's instinctive desires are expressed by crying if he does not immediately get what he wants, and if this method is successful, chaos reigns in the home with the forming of habits that directly interfere with growth. Self-control through obedience is the foundation for all training. "A second need is mothering on love which brings with it trust, happiness and contentment. It is common knowledge that it is not good for a child to be kept too long in a hospital, however perfect the hygienic conditions may be. He must have personal relationships, and mothering is essential to growth. "A third factor is regularity which has to do with habit formation and helps to give to the child a sense of order and security. In studying a child we ask for a list of his entire activities for 2 days. One of the object of this two-day list is to discover the rhyme or regularity of at least a part of the child's life. We follow the line of least resistance and make a few changes in his program as possible in order that all the energies of the child and his mother may be concentrated upon those health habits which clearly make for regularity and growth. THE HAIR To keep the hair healthy, thoroughly cleanse it with Mulberry C. 4, Walker's Shampoo Soap at least every two weeks. The scalp should be well massaged and enriched with our Wonderful Hair Grower. For diseased scissors try Mulberry Walker's Tetter Salve. To add life and silky lustre use Glassine by brushing well onto the Hair. C Boll's Mill, Va.—Services at Mt. Lebanon Baptist Church were well attended Sunday. The pastor, the Rev. T. W.

Theodore Lyndon EXTENSION CLASS OF VA. UNION UNIV. BEGINS NEW WORK Class Enthusiastically Begins Work-On Course In Tests And Measurements. Prof. Connor Pleased. The Portsmouth Extension Class of Union University met in regular session on last Saturday at the C. S. S. The work of the day began with a brief review of the examination questions by Prof. Connor. After the doubtful points had been made clear, Prof Connor expressed himself as very much pleased with the work of the class in the examination. The new work of the day was then begun. The main topic for discussion was "Measuring in Education." The work done by the class in this connection showed careful preparation. Mrs. Ethel Griffin then explained and demonstrated a project which had been carried out in her grade, 3A. The work was highly commended by Prof. Connor and the members of the class. Mrs. M. Estelle Elliott then explained the three-fold arrangement of educational practices in education, viz., elementary, secondary, higher. Mrs. Malinda Burleigh followed and showed what the result would have been had these three divisions originated at the same time. Mrs. Frances Melvin discussed "Secondary Education during the Colonial Period" and Prof. Willis showed how the separate origin of the elementary and high schools caused a difference in preparation and standing of high school teachers and elementary teachers. Prof. Clarke showed how the Latin-Grammar schools were opposed to democracy and Prof. Baker showed why it was impossible for the Latin Grammar school to become a connecting link between elementary schools and colleges. Rev. T. J. Johnson read a very interesting paper whose subject was "The Development of Negro Private High Schools." The paper gave great information and showed that Rev.

Smith preached a wonderful sermon using Matt. 5:16, as his text and "Let your light shine" as his subject. He said in part, "The text is a part of the memorable sermon on the mount. In this instance the light spoken of is Christian character as distinguished from reputation. Reputation may be likened to a shadow, character to the person who casts the shadow, crepitation, is the house by the side of the road, character the person who lives in the house. Reputation can only go to the brink of the Jordan, character goes to the bar of God. Let your light so shine. The injunction shows that Christian lights or Character lights, or character need no force to make them shine. They are the great men to glorify our Father in heaven. We are called upon to light the whole world. It will be tragic if we fail for men will stumble and go down to destruction. So let us shine everywhere, shine all the time, for Jesus is depending on us to light up the world. Let us shine to the glory of God, knowing that if we let our lights so shine men will see our good works and glorify our Father in heaven." At the conclusion of the sermon there was one conversion and one admission to the church by Christian experience. TAYLORSVILLE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH At the First Baptist Church Sunday.

J. U.S.A. Tells How to End Night Coughing To quickly stop hacking, irritating coughing at night, a very simple treatment may be had that often enables you to sleep the whole night through undisturbed almost at once. The treatment is based on a remarkable prescription known as Dr. King's New Discovery for Coughs. You simply take a transportful at night before retiring, and hold it in your throat for 15 or 20 seconds before swallowing it, without following with water. The prescription has a double action. It not only soothes and relieves irritation and soreness, but it quickly loosens and removes the phlegm and congestion which are one direct cause of the coughing. So you must yourself your cough. So it is dry and tight, or loose with much mucus, the coughing soon stops, you can usually sleep your accustomed time without a break, and the whole cough condition goes in a very short time. The prescription contains absolutely no narcotics or other harmful drugs. The prescription is not necessary, it actually helps the system to throw off the trouble in a perfectly natural way. Furthermore, it is very important the nurse being only on hand to treatpoisoned. It is highly recommended for coughs, chest colds, ticking, horrorsness and bronchitis, and is used to treat coughs and spasmodic croup. On sale at all good druggists. Ask for DR.

Frederick Douglass deserves a place in the Hall of Fame, but if he does not get into it his fame will not suffer much. Dur- ing his life time he built his own hall of fame and his own monument, and he will grow in fame with the years and the intel- ligence of the people for whom he gave the example of a splendid Christian manhood, a fine public spirit and a matehless eloquence in the days that tried men’s souls. Dean Kelly Millér has reached the con- élusion that our educated people do not marry and have children as generally as they should and the good of the race re- quires. The educated whites are in the same boat. We are not having the greatest possible birth rate and our infant mortality is greater than it should be, according to judicious surveys, and it should stimulate our doctors and fathers and mothers to greater care in looking after the welfare of the children. President Coolidge is still urging econ- omy in the expenditure of public moneys and is going to practice what he preaches in the White House service. He wants the payrolls of all the departments relieved of the services of those not actually needed. There is every reason why this rule should ‘be observed in the conduct of public as it is in private business. The President has the taxpayers with him heart and soul in his economy program. They want the Govern- ment cconomivally hut efficiently adminis- tered and they do not want to pay more in taxes than is necessary for this purpose. Tt now looks as if the child labor amend- mient to the Federal Constitution would fail of ratification, Reverting to Dr. R. H. Bowling’s suggestion that we need more con- centration of Government to handle such matters, it is sufficient to say that the surest ‘and quickest way to destroy our democratic system of government is to continue to de- stroy the reserved rights of the States and to enlarge the rights delegated to the Federal .Government, What is needed is to compel the States to build their constitutions and “Jaws on the reserved rights which are theirs and to compel the Federal Government to ‘operate within the rights delegated to it, It ig the business of the Supreme Court to pre- serve the even balance between the States and the Federal Government, but it has not always done so, but made precedents which “work the contrary purpose. : In his sermon last Sunday evening at Grace P. E. Church, in touching upon race iloyalty and patronage of race enterprises, the Rev. Mr. B. W. Harris sounded a key- tote that may well Le spontaneously taken up and kept up by all the occupants of pul- pits throughout the country. Rev. Harris said that Negro enterprises have to depend almost wholly-upon the patronage of mem- bers of the race for their support, which is true, and is also a mighty strong reason why. Afro-Americans who have money to spend, and all of them do, should spend as much of it as possible, with those race institutions that are building for future generations. The race can grow strong economically only through its industrial and commoreial enter- prises, the development of which means the providing of dignified employment for the thousands of young men and women of the race whom the schools and colleges of the country are turning out yearly. No right thinking purents can fail to see the vast im- portance to the race of its business enter- prises which are’ offering employment op- Bortunities for their offspring. “+ Phe Head of a Caesar “Sart circles in New York are agitated. ‘A dredging machine, gouging into the bed “of the Hudson River, recently: sucked up a marble head which resembled that of Au- gustue:Coesar.

Gas- war was too cruel, they said, and the world would be depopulated unless poison gas was done away with. We were never much im- pressed by such talk. The killing power of gas is overestimated and even if it were not the nations would still use it. Never in the world’s history have the nations abandoned a military weapon because it was too deadly. Humanitarianism has no place in warfare. Paul Levy, a German publicist, now charges both Germany and France with com- peling to devise new forms of gas poison. Hansilan, a German chemist, says the world will have to become reconciled to the use of terrible chemicals. We do not doubt for a moment that the work of inventing new weipons has been carried on intensively since the last war and will be carried on right up to the day the next war begins. What else can be expected? While men and nations live they will fight, and woe to the nation that is caught unprepared. In the last war Germany was the only power that did not lose a single man from lack of preparedness. France and England suf- fered dreadfully and probably 80 per cent of the American deaths could be thus accounted for. ‘America of all nations is the slowest to learn the terrible lessons of war. We are such spoiled children of fortune that we can- not realize that what happened to France may happen to us. We call a man foolish for not carrying a personal insurance policy but we cannot see the need of a national in- surance policy. France has 4,000 airplanes, "England at least 1,000, and Japan is building 500 planes a month, We have perhaps a hun- dred in shape to fight. Thus while other nations are insuring their lives we do noth- ing, childishly trusting in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. When the next war comes we may lose a half-million lives while get- ting ready to fight. Re-organization of State Department ‘and Our Foreign Policy ‘The resignation of Secretary of state Charles E, Hughes from the Coolidge cabi- net was surprising to us who have no in- side knowledge of Washington affairs. The ostensible reason given by Mr. Hughes is that he wishes to resume his law practice. Somehow it is not convincing. After his brilliant success at the bar it is not likely that he needs the money. His long service in public life as Governor of New York, Jus- tice of the United States Supreme Court, Republican candidate for the Presidency and Secretary of State, was an excellent reason for continuing at his post. He has always preached the ideal of patriotic service; he could give that service far more effectively as Secretary of Slate than as a private cor- poration lawyer. In the cabinet he was a figure to be reckoned with. In the midst of all the palaver about international peace he startled the European chancelleries with his conerete proposal for a show-down. The dis- armament conference made them show their hand, and though the results have not met expectations the example remains. We wonder if Senator Borah's accession to the chairmanship of the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs had something to do with Mr. Hughes’ resignation. Certainly the con- servative Hughes had more in common with the cultured Lodge than with Borah the Westerner. Borah is a brilliant man but a little wild-eyed; he lacks the solid histori- eal grounding of Senator Lodge. In our ‘opinion the loss of a Hughes is not offset by the gain of a Borah. It is rumored that Mr. Hughes resigned because of his aspirations to the Presidency, which he might pursue with better grace if he-were not in the cabinet. Be that as it may, the Presidency is an uncertain, heart- breaking will o' the wisp. Mr, Hughes’ can- didacy in 1916 was so poorly managed that we wonder whether his party would take ‘another chance with him in 1928, Health And Welfare 5 WARIONAL wenjent: axsocilion ee Can People Live One Hundred Years?

This statement is sup- plemented by the rejoinder that it is no categorical acceptance of ancient prophecy, unsupported: by scientific knowledge and accomplishment, but rather the projection of human life to a hypothetical span of more than twice its present longevity, on the basis of scientifically phenomenal and pop- ularity marvelous achievements from 1880 to 1924, during which period the average age at death was raised from 33 years, to Ba years, adding 21 years to the 12 produe- tive years of man’s life in the earlier part of the nineteenth century, and making a working period of 33 years, in 1924, after reaching 21 years of age, equal to the whole life span of man in 1880. Based on this pheriomenal progress, admittedly almost wholly the results of the twenticth centutry, of medical sani- tury and social service, a period of quarter of « century, the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Compuny and the National Medical Association forecast %q hundred and twenty years” as not an arbitrury prophecy, but indeed a chal- lenge of reasonable possibility, which the current rate of improvement in habits of licing and environmental influences of the human race and the control of health and life hazards, through interstate and international intelligence und practice, by logical deduction and vitul appraisal, project through the ensuing decades to tu threc-figure life span of « century and more as @ not wusual attainment sub- ject to the wonder and the comment of the phenomenal, Supporting this state- sient with a competent Life Extension staff and modern equipment and ,¢x- panded now into a whole floor of activ- ities for effective operation, these gencies ure already adding performance to propheey and hypothesis, tee That these health protection and pro- motion agencies of the Negro race ave not given to madness and unreason in their hypothesis is supported by the declaration of no less authority than the group of mas~ ter hygicnists and sanitarians who compose the administrative and technical staffs of the Gorgas Memoria] Institute, the chairman of which organization has given to the na- tion’s press the news of a nation-wide cam- paign, launched January 1, and dedicated to the prevention of disease and the length- ening of the average span of human life by 7 to 12 years, and who has announced a financial eampaign to raise $5,000,000 as fain endowment to enable the human family to more quickly realize the lesser of the prophecies, that the years of man shall be “three score and ten.” This investment of $5,000,000 vividly flushes again the economic picture i whiek this sum, large as it i, becomes a small price to pay for the multiple good returns on the investment. The account of life values in the United States carries tho appalling debit of one billion and a half dollars ($1,500,- 000,000!) due to preventable sickness and death. Not only does this mean that we have one in every 40 people of the country sick during the year and one in every 100 people absent from gainful occcupation, at an average loss of $166.00 to the sick and a per cupita Joss of S12 for the country; but also thut there is @ loss, further, of over $100 per individual for funeral expenses of the one-half of the serious illnesses which terminate in dedth, and over $50 per mouth in carning ability. eee Of the total loss for the country in preventable sickness and death, $1,500,000,- (000, the proportion for the colored popula- tion is $20,000,000 a year, about one seventh of the total economic loss, though the race has only one-tenth of the total pop- ulation. ‘This is the outstanding challenge to the national, state and local health departments, voluntary health and social welfare 3- gencies, schools and churches, business and industry for survey and research and the application of acquired knowledge and dem- onstrated practices to secure for the peo- ce ney and for the human fam- 2 | By LEONARD MASBSENBURGE The A.

It is something of a shock to Amer- ieans to learn that it is the Jap- anese. In the United States 39,000,000 people live in homes lighted by electricity and in Japan only 23,000,000; but in proportion to population, the Japanese are ahead of us. There are 59 per-cent of them using electricity and only 57 per cent of Americans. On the twenty-third day of May, 1881, President Garfield appointed the late ex-Senator B. K, Bruce, of Mississippi, Regis- ter of the United States Treas- ury. This was the first colored man whose signature made money of worthless paper. The Parana River adds a square mile of territory every year to Argentina. This new territory is formed by river de- posits washed away from Brazil and Paraguay. Nothing can be done about it, so no country pro- tests. Dr. Henry Fitzbutler, Louis- ville, was born December 22, 1842. He graduated from Mich- igan University in 1872, He was granted a charter by the legis- lature of Kentucky in 1888 to practice medicine, having grad- uated from the Louisville Na- tional Medical College. He was the first régular physician of the Negro race to enter upon the practice of medicine in the State of Kentucky. ‘The National Republican Con- vention held at Philadelphia in June, 1872 received as delegates ‘a number of colored men, and for the first time in the history for presidential conventions, the Negro's voice was heard and ap- plauded; Charles L, Redmond was the first Negro to take the platform as a regular lecturer, in the anti-slavery cause, and was no doubt, the ablest representative that the race had until the ap- pearance of Frederick Douglass in 1842. ‘The first race newspaper pub- lished in the South was ‘The Colored American." It was pub- lished in Augusta, Georgia, and was edited by J, T. Shuften in 1865. Miss Ida Platt, of Chicago, was the first woman of the race to be admitted to the bar of any State. Book Review ean D, Appleton and Company, has published a novel by Robert McBlair, which novel bears the title “Mister Fish Kelley.” The author tries to show how, much humor there is in Negro life, and claims that the Negro is at his best in the South. The novel carries the name of the leading character, Fish Kelly is not at all a masterful man; he lacks initiative, and becomes easy prey to any one exhibiting stronger tendencies than his. He falls a victim to a member of his own race, a little higher up. In fact it is the usual thing that ran for so many years in all of our colored shows, i. ea man with little brains who had money, and a polished dandy, kind o' slick like, who manages the money af- fairs. Little, the name of the other man who poses as a law- yer and a preacher, simply uses poor Kelly, but Kelly finally finds a way out. Kelly marries and is still an easy “victim” but the spirit in him is lofty and the book ends by showing that even an “humble” slave can strike a telling blow for freedom. “Negrolana” is the name of a book published by the Christo- pher Publishing House ($2.50). It is unique; the name of the author cannot be ascertained, but he believes that-the work will have a wider circulation if less referred to in the forewore ag “Dr. Frank” who-has been @ Southern educator for twenty- five years, superintendent of schodls in a Texas city. , ‘The book is a study, of racial relations and conditions and aims to contribute to the understand- ing of the Negro and the sup- posed problem which his. pres- ence creates in American life s0- called, ‘There is nothing in the book to’ recommend its purchase for library use, and there is nothing that. will give it a last- ing place in'literature. ‘The au- thor expresses his views as to mob violence, is of the opinion that the establishment of an Af- rican Republic would be the cor- reet thing, and has his charac- ters committing crimes, the like of which no person, whatever may be the color of his skin, would commit. “PACTS. STRANGER THAN FICTION." By Joho P, Green. Published by, the Bich!’ Printing Company, Cleveland, 0 The author of this highly en- tertaining life-story, who-is the oldest practicing lawyer in Cleveland, was recently com- mended: by Bishop .Leonard for being on time to church services every Sunday for the past twen- ty-five years, It is to be ex- pected that a character who can ‘achieve a record like that, is an interesting writer. The author begins with the origin of the family Green back in Revolution- ary tims and traces his ancestry down to the time of his birth in 1845 in New Bern, N. C. His parents were free colored peo- ple of mixed blood, in comfort- able financial circumstances. The death of the father leaves the family in reversed cireum- stances and the boy begins a struggle for mere existence that would have broken a weaker char- acter, The family moved, to Ohio, and it was there that Mr. Green educated himself without the aid of instructors. until he was prepared to enter High School. He was married after his graduation and returned to South Carolina with his bride. Looking about for a way to earn a living’ he began reading law and was admitted to the: South Carolina’ Bar in 1890. His po- litical career began, and he ad- dressed a State Convention in 1872, Returning to Cleveland with his wife and baby he faced some trying experiences but with dogged determination he won signal honors, one of the most important of which was that he wrote and fathered the Ohio Labor Day law, while he was a member of the Ohio, Assembly. He was later elected Senator. Having known some of the great- est characters of his day, he tells wonderfully interesting stories of his experiences with them. The narrative is conclud- ed with the relation of some fam- ily experiences and the story of European travel. Hortense THOMPSON HOOSIT?
