Leroy Williams, Of Georgia'Murder Farm' Demands Early Trial
Man Indicted In Sensational Murder Case In Which; With His Father, John Williams, He Was Accused, Gives Himself Up.
Monticello, Ga., Feb. 4—Leroy Williams, one of the three sons of John S. 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. Williams was granted bail and the continuance sustained.
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.

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.

(Special to the Journal and Guide)
Nashville, Tenn., Feb. 6 — Aiotious demonstration of over 100 students of Fisk University against Dr. F. A. McKenzie, president of the school, required fifty reserves of the local police department to subdue the disturbances here today.

Jefferson, a professor of the institution to put in their appearance on the campus.
Following closely on the heels of the outbreak, shots were fired from windows of Livingstone hall, a four-story dormitory. A number of the 300 windows were shattered by the flying bullets.

High Social Circles In Washington Amazed When World War Hero Marries Maid. Groom Now In Hospital.
FAMILY WOULD HAVE MARRIAGE ANNULLED
Washington, D. 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.

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.

AVERS RELIGION, RACE AND RADICALISM ARE CHALLENGES OF 1925
---
(By Preston News Service)
Newark, N. J., Feb. 6. "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.
The question arises: Has Christianity any contribution to make

toward the solution of the race problem in America?" he asked.
"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
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.

Two Men Killed
* When Tank Expolds
(By Preston News Service)
Danville, Va., Feb. 5- William Stultz and Daniel Hariston were blown to pieces at Martinsville Wednesday morning, when a tank collecting gasoline exploded. Stultz, owner of a pressing club, was preparing to remove the tank from an excavation to a new location and the use of hot water to remove ice apparently caused vaporization to a point where the container could not withstand the pressure. One of the bodies is said to have soared to a considerable height.

DR. A. B. 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.

RHEUMATISM STOPPED IN ONE DAY
H. B. 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.
"I want to say that my Rheumatism was stopped the first day," says H. B. Stone. "I had been a sufferer from Rheumatism for years, and I had tried many treatments without relief. I started taking Kurex in the morning and by evening the pain had left. Inside of a week the swelling had gone down" and the stiffness had left my joints. Today I feel as good as ever, thanks to your wondrous Kurex.
This wonderful prescription prepared by a large laboratory and generally known as Kurex is easily used in home and seems to work like magic in its rapidity on people of all ages and sexes.
No matter how bad your condition, no matter what your age or occupation, no matter what you have tried if you are suffering from Rheumatism, Neuritis or stiff joints, we are so confident Kurex Prescription will stop it that we offer to send a large treatment for only $8.95 on 14 days' trial. If the results are not satisfactory and you are not more than pleased in every way, it costs you nothing.
Send no money - just your name and address to R. A. Harmon, 61 A. & R. Eldge, Kansas City, Mo, and the treatment will be mailed at once. Simply pay postmaster postage on arrival. Use it according to simple directions. If, at the end 14 days you are not showing "wonderful improvement" and freedom from Rheumatim, just send it back and your money will be refunded without question. This offer is fully guaranteed, so white today and give this "remarkable prescription" a call.

'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

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.

if Batlle with a bitter half——pronto! Gibbons claimed the heavy-
{weight title, but what is « claim. Wills’ claims is as good as any other
[fehter’s if he feels disposed to claim the title aiso.
{Since Wills and Gibbons are running neck and neck for a erack

{ : What Others Think
¢ some of the wise acres seem to think that Wills will get

sJack Lawrence says about the situation in the New York
Tribune:
Fo. Jack Dempsey, world's heavy weight champion, has not caught the
‘Mretivement, fever.” He has no immediate intention of following in
‘the footsteps 6f Johnny Dundee ard Benny Leonard and toss his classic
title on the open market. Jack ir going to have at least one more mil-
Aion-dollar battle before he hangs up his gloves for the last time.
4. ‘This information is contained in a letter that the champion wrote
recently to a close friend in this city, Incidentally, Jack stated that
‘when he reaches New York he intends to make his position clear as to
fe future plans. When he doer this it will probably be-found that
3 wi be ready to wind up his ving career with one more “battle of

“the patient Senezambain stevedore.
BS Dempsey To Finish With Wills
£ Dempsey will bring his ring career to a close next summer when
the figally climbs into the'ring aginst Wills. 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. Tt would
“Be possible for the champion to ight twice next summer and it now
“gems certain that this is what he plans to do, provided nothing hap-
pane meanwhile to detract from Tom Gibbons’ standing as a challenger.
(aa Next Summer Or Never
©" Hie Dempsey doesn’t fight Wills next summer he probably will
gmever fight fim at all. The colored heavyweight is older than the
Yehainpion and he is not getting cny younger as he waits up there in

has anounced he would match Tom
Gibbons and Jack Dempsey in a
return title engagement in the
summer and the winner will be
pitted against Harry Wills, the
perennial contender, some time in
September. 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.

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.
Wills may or may not regard his

Seasiders Win Slow Game
_ From “Whirlwind Johnson's
Dragons To Run String Of
Consecutive Victories To 6.
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-

ball swishing for two points and a
ead that steady iniereased, even
after the second string players took
the floor.
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. You
can picture such stars as Whedbee
and Hoyle held scoreless, and you
Jean picture suck players as com-
pose Hampton's team flashing: here
and here, breaking up opposing
rallies and flitting under the
‘basket for goals.

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.

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. Traryler took away individual honors by making 18 points. Archer next with 17, and Clark 10.
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

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.

A. U. 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.

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.

Hect: “The Restoration of Lost
joy,” the Rev. M. D. Smith, pastor
of the Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion
jebwreh, moved the vast eongresa-

Hday morning as he expounded the
five of religion.
“There is much joy in religion,”
he said “and real joy in divine
ifreedom. 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

tinued, “but joy comes only thru

1 tn his final analysis he showed
{his hearers that close communion
with God would keep them from
ithe temptations of sin which arc
tdemoralizing and lead only to
‘death and destruction.

Funder the leadership of Professor

Rev. BW. 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

sponsible for. Every country, he
said, has its peasantry, but in
‘America, no man who works
makes so little that be cannot

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

For four hours, from 8:30 to
12:30, before an audience at the
First’ Baptist Chureh, Berkley ave-
‘nue, which packed every inch of
available space and which one hour
before the time set for opening
were banging at the doors of the
church for admision and which
showed its appreciation, sometimes
bytumultous applause and at other
times by a rapt stillness in which
the falling of the ptoverbial pin
could have easily been heard,
Berkley,, last Monday night, en-
Joyed what was conceded by ev-
erybody present to be the best, all
around entertainment ever given
‘in this city.
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. Taken alto-
gether the affair forever gives the
Tie to the widely. disseminated slan-
der that our group is incapable of
getting together and sticking to-
gether until the desired end is at-
tained.
‘A healthy reaction in the shape
of jnereased race pride and lovalty
is bound to be the result of such
a program wherevr it can be put,

Longworth or Madden May Head Next House Of Representatives
Both Men, One of Whom Will Succeed Speaker Gillette, of Massachusetts, Hail From the Middle West and Have Been Members of Congress For Many Years
washington, D. 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.

School Boy And Farmer Fall Victims Of Age Old Game; Youth Non-plussed When Ruse Is Discovered.
From the Virginia Pilot.
A Boston school boy and a York County farmer—both Negroes—are the latest victims of film-flam artists on Norfolk streets.
Charles Phiney, aged 17, came down from Boston on a barge and lost his job. Yesterday morning he had $4.25 between him and starvation or work. He didn't want to starve, and he wasn't averse to work, so he set out to hunt a job. He strolling along Wood street when a colored man volunteered assistance.
"Got any references?" the stranger inquired.
"Well," the stranger remarked, "money is as good as a reference any time in getting a job. Now I know a man out in Ghent who needs a young fellow, and you're just the chap for the place. Here, give me your $4 and I'll put it in an envelope with a note to this gentleman."
Phiney passed over the four one dollar bills. The obliging stranger placed the money in an envelope, then turned around and leaned against a brick wall, explaining that he was addressing the envelope. Then he passed an addressed and sealed envelope to the boy.
Slipped Money Out
"Just take this to the address indicated," he said, "and the gentleman will give you a job. Your money is in the enveloped."
The letter was addressed to "Mr. W. E. Right, 210 Redgate avenue."

washington, D. C., Feb. 4.—Conssman Martin B. Madden, of iois, or Congressman Nichol Longworth, of Ohio, will in alllhood be the next Speaker of House of Representatives. Aucs February 27th is called to at the decision. It is a most interesting outlook for Colored Aisles.
both men, one of whom will succeed the present Speaker Gillette Massachusetts, who has graduated to the Senate, have been ingress for a number of years, have a large following, and from the Middle West, and are sed with this world's goods, are the parallel ceases Congress Madden is what America calls itself-man; Congressman gaworth was born with the itonal "silver spoon in his th." After all, there is an parallel, probably the most important for this story! Both owe their presence in Cons to their Colored constituent, Mr. Madden far more so Mr. Langworth. But it will sell and timely to look into thisation a bit further, inasmuch the next Speaker of the House hope to hold the gavel during the whole of the four-years of President Coolidge, and red America looks upon the four years as the most notious in the aural history of good old U. S. A. "The next years will either make or us," said one observer. They it so to do.

Ininnati there are both separate mixed schools, but there is aIAL suggestion from school cities that Colored children to the Douglass School, on out Hill, or the Harriet Beechlow school down town.

ing capital, Phinney bought an apple, then boarded a street car bound for Redgate avenue. 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."

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.

The Prudential bank headed by Joel R. R. Krause, is managed by a board of directors composed of the best business and professional men in Washington.
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. Lew, Dr. James H.

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.

"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:

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.

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.

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.

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."

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.

LONG DRAWN OUT DIVORCE SUIT WON BY MRS. MAJORS
Sensational Case Finally Ended Giving Wife of Prominent Chicago Physician Her Freedom.
(By Associated Negro Press)
Chicago, Ill., Feb. 5.—The famed Majors Divorce case has come to a close. Sitting in the Circuit Court of Cook County Judge Rush ended a drama of marital discord which because of the more or less nation-wide acquaintance and prominence of the principals involved has held widespread attention. Under the decree as handed down, Mrs. Jessie P. Majors, won her freedom from Monroe Majors, well-known resident physician and author of the South Side. Mrs. Majors, formerly wife of Dr. W. S. Hambrick, of Nashville, a matron of exceptional culture and attractiveness is well known in the musical world. 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.

DR. 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.

Do not make the error of regarding Influenza and Grip as exaggerated colds. There is a vast difference and at no time is the human body in greater need of the healing, strength producing, rebuilding force contained in Pe-ru-na than when recovering from an attack of Flu or Grip.
PE-RU-NA
Used by Thousands in This Crisis
Precautionary measures now may save a severe illness later. The aim should be to reduce the inflammation of the mucous membranes, stimulate digestion, drive out the poisons, and increase the powers of resistance.
Pe-ru-na tones up and strengthens the entire system. It is a good medicine any time but especially so right now as a protection against these deadly winter diseases which are going the rounds.
Don't be careless. Profit by the experience of such people as Mrs. P. S. Skinner, Box 263, Tobia, Nebraska, who writes: "I keep Pe-ru-na in the house all the time for coughs, colds and pains in the chest. I had pneumonia six years ago and I now use Pe-ru-na to keep from taking it again. I find it great."
Pe-ru-na has been healing the sick and protecting the health of the American people through Grip and Influenza epidemics for more than half a century.

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. Johnson was in possession of much historical data pertaining to Negro schools. The class has entered upon the second semester of its work with new zeal and hopes to complete a course in Tests and Measurements before the end of the term.

Baptism and the Lord's Supper were administered at the evening hour. At the morning hour 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.

RICHMOND
The. Wall Street Beneficial Club held its annual mid-winter Ball, styled as a Bobbed Hair Soiree, at Johnson's auditorium. The spacious hall, which was beautifully decorated for the occasion, was jammed to the doors with the elect. The regular Wall Street good order, which always marked any affair given by this popular club and for which reason the first people of the city go without hesitancy, prevailed. The playing of the Har
prevented. The playing of the Hairy Brothers Orchestra was exceptionally good and when two o'clock in the morning came all were clamoring for just one more dance. A prize was awarded to the lady with the best bobbed hair.
—"Elks, Rest, "Elks Home"
"Elks Lunch Room" and many other such names are the names of some of the new places of business, opening up in different parts of the city in preparation of the big Elks Convention to be held here next August.
The Musical Lyceum Bureau of the Virginia University presented Mr. Joseph Douglass, *violinist of national reputation and a grandson of Hon. Frederick Douglass, concert at the Armstrong Auditorium Friday night. The playing of Mr. Douglass was superb, the concert being largely attended by music lovers of this city.
A — very successful Bazaar just closed at the 5th Street Baptist Church after having been conducted for an entire week. Every night was, feature night. Among the prominent people taking part were Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, Right Worthy Grand Secretary-Treasurer, I. O. of St. Luke; Mrs. Ora B Stokes, Presiding Shepherd of Shepherds and daughters of B Shepherds and daughters of Peters, and D wife, who sang beautifully; the Alpha Female Glee Club under the leadership of Mr. Joseph Matthews and Madam Savilla E Briggs, the noted soprano.
—The Bijon Theatre was crowded to the doors a full half hour before time to begin the Folk-song recital on last Sunday. So great was the crowd turned away because of a lack of room for them that the management of the Clubs fostering the affair had to arrange to repeat the concert for the benefit of those who could not get in and still refused to go away. Never before in the history of Richmond has Broad street been so lined with people, both white and colored who stood in line for more hour waiting for an opportunity to see a colored performance more than two seconded were turned away. The singers, the combined Sabbath Glee Club and the Alpha Female Glee Club, simply covered themselves with glory, having been well drilled by the imimatable Joseph Matthes who is a wizard at training and conducting group singing and whose directing on this occasion far surpassed anything Richmond has seen in many a day.

IN MEMORIAM
In sad and loving memory of my dear son, Lloyd Spruill, who died February 6, 1924.
I shed my tears with an aching heart,
While others are sound asleep.
I often sit and think of you,
When I am all alone,
For memory is the only friend
That grief can call its own.
A happy home I once enjoyed,
How sweet the memory still,
But death has left a vacant chair
That no one in this world can fill
Mother,
Mrs. Millie Spruill.

NEW BRUSSWICK N. 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.

Insuring the Nation’s Life
At the ctose of the recent great war a
good deal was said about abolishing the
use of poison gas in future wars. 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,

hog undertaken seriously this year a pro-
gram of study and research, health
edueution and service, by the cumulative
results of which it hopes to demonstrate
not only that the prophecy of David
the oldest recorded standard for mortality
statisties, that the years of man shall be
“three score and ten,” is even now about to
be realized; but the life span of a hundred
and twenty years, as given in earlier proph-
ecy is attainable. 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,

tury and social service, a period of
quarter of « century, the North Carolina

National Medical Association forecast

lenge of reasonable possibility, which the

international intelligence und practice,
by logical deduction and vitul appraisal,

panded now into a whole floor of activ-
ities for effective operation, these

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.

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

“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.
