Foreign Service School Makes Hurried Graduation Of Clifford Wharton When Whites Object. (By Preston News Services) Washington, D. C., May 6—Nordicism, Ku Kluxianism, race superiority and other white isms in America was manifested by the white students of the Foreign Service School of the State Department last week when the "Superior" (?) Nordics went on a strike protesting the presence of Clifford Wharton, of Massachusetts, the only Negro student to enter the school. After several lengthy conferences of State Department officials Wharton was immediately "graduated," without taking a day's work of the required year's course, and given official recognition as a full-fledged diplomat and sent to Liberia as a United States attache. Foreign Service School The Foreign Service School was recently established with the idea that American diplomatic would be professional, who had been taught thoroughly in all the wiles of international procedure, before being sent abroad to speak for Uncle Sam. Congress provided in the bill authorizing the school that every new attache taken into the Government's foreign service must receive a thorough preliminary training in all diplomatic practices and procedures before abroad. After the graduation an attache can gradually be promoted until he finally becomes a full-fledged ambassador if ability warrants. It appears that the white students of the school could not "stomach" the idea of a Negro taking the preliminary qualifications. SAYS BARBOUR BILL INIMICAL TO LODGES (By Associated Negro Press.)

Watkins of the real estate firm of Thompson and Watkins, previously located at 2257 Seventh Avenue, but now located in new offices at 12th St., and Seventh avenue, have been made defendants in an action to recover the sum of $1840. The plaintiffs were charged with a fraction or part of what they are alleged to have received from Lena May Morrison of 201 West 131 St. The National Service Co. after a very careful investigation discovered that there is also another party from whom they are said to have received approximately two thousand dollars. The case of the plaintiffs is in the hands of Sullivan and Sullivan, Woolworth Building. Mr. Freedman represents the defense. From evidence uncovered, the defendants represented themselves as being agents of forty two apartment houses. They also made the assertion that all money received by them was to be used for investment purposes on a basis of twenty per cent, the lenders to receive fifteen, and they four. It turned out, however, that when one note of the sum of $1840 drawn to the order of the Mac Morrison was paid to the plaintiffs, they claimed that the person to whom this money had been given was in Atlantic City, but would make good several days later. Mr. John Morrison immediately appended to the New York representative of the Freeman and the Norfolk Journal and Guide for assistance in recovering at least a part of his wife's money. It was immediately found out that Thompson, and Watkins, according to the statement of one on the inside of their affairs, was a defaulant concern from more than one house, and that all of their borrowing had been purely fraudulent. There is at present another note of $920 held by Mrs. Morrison which is long past due, and which the concern of Thompson and Watkins refuses to honor. Mrs. Morrison has also placed this in the hands of Sullivan and Sullivan, her lawyers, for collection. On top of this there is a young man by the name of Beckerman who holds against the same firm several notes of $400.00, and which are long past due. Thompson and Watkins is one of the oldest and best known real estate firms in New York. Prior to the formation of the partnership it was known simply as A. G. Thompson Co., and at the time was most successful. LATE FRANK L. GILLESPIE Augustus Watt's, of Portsmouth and Hodges Ferry Tragic Victim of Crash on Suffolk Boulevard.

Student Choruses Resent Segregation and Refuse To Sing FRANK L. GILLESPIE HEAD OF THE LIBERTY LIFE COMPANY, DIES Prominent Chicago Business Man Succumbs To Hemorrhage Attack In the Midst Of Career. DEATH PROVES SHOCK THRUOUT THE COUNTRY (By Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill., May 6—The city was shocked at half-past twelve Friday afternoon when the news was cried out that Frank L. Gillespie, founder and president of the Liberty Life Insurance Company of Illinois, had succumbed at his residence, 4524 Grand Boulevard, to an attack of hemorrhage. He had been ailing slightly, but not enough to give the slightest suspicion that his end was near. He is survived by his wife and two children, a boy of 20, and a girl of 17. Chicago Shocked It is doubtful if any single event could have produced the effect on colored Chicago that the death of Frank L. Gillespie did. In the last five years of his life, he had promoted a business which was the pride of Chicago and had come to be regarded as one of the new and salutary influences in Negro business. The trepid, keen and resourceful. When his aids in the beautiful Liberty Life's building, heard of their leader's death, they were stunned. The girls in the office cried. The men were sad. Asked as to who their new leader might be, they couldn't say. It was hard for them, it is hard for anybody, to think of a successor to Frank, as he was familiarly called by those who knew him. Only one name had so far been named that Roy Taylor, vice-principal of Tuskegee, as a possible man to take up the reins where Gillespie left off. Mr. Taylor is a member of the board of directors. Native of Arkansas Frank L. Gillespie was born in Oscoea, November 8 1876. The early years of his life were spent in Memphis, Tenn., where he received his grammar school education. Later, when his family moved to St. Louis, Mo., he attended Summer High school for three years. However, as young Gillespie was a violinist of rare talent, his parents planned to give him a musical education. With this intention, they sent him to study at the Boston Conservatory of Music. The opportunity to finish high school was gained while he studied music in that city. Then instead of completing his musical career, young Gillespie entered the University of Hofstra for a while all went well; but difficulties came and he was forced to abandon his formal education. Early Career Once out of school Gillespie began his fight for a place in the world of business and large affairs. First he returned to Chicago, there he secured employment as private secretary to Mr. J. C. Yeager, a prominent Chicago capitalist. At the death of this employer he sought other activities. Positions followed one another in rapid succession. He became the first colored employee of the Automatic Telephone Company and afterwards entered the real estate business with Mr. Oscar DePriest. For two years he engaged in that profession but he had not yet found his life work. Finally in January of 1916, he left to join the agency force of the Royal Life Insurance Company. With that organization he began his first real ascent on the ladder of achievement. He had found his calling. By August of the same year Gillespie was made superintendent of the company. He thus became the first colored superintendent of an Old Line Legal Reserve Insurance Company doing both industrial and ordinary business. ROYAL AWARDED A CARNEGIE HERO MEDAL (Preston News Service.)

File One Of The Auditorium In A Body. (Special to Journal and Guide) Washington, D. C., May 6—Resenting what they believed to have been a deliberate "double-cross," fifty colored entertainers, students from the race's most prominent schools, turned what had been arranged as a mammoth musical concert under auspices of the International Council of Women meeting here this week in its annual Quinquennial, into a scene of turmoil which predated the events of the 1960s, when they refused to act, as a protest against the "jim crow" seating arrangement in the auditorium and the colored patrons, who filled the balcony, evidenced their approval of the students' actions by filing out of the hall in a body. Audience Struck Silent The large audience, wholly unprepared for such a move, momentarily was struck silent by the announcement of Miss Hallie Q. Brown, telling the decision: "We are so grateful for your assistance their reasons for taking such a step, but soon let loose confusion and turmoil which was checked only thru quick action of the police in expelling all loud talkers. At the very moment the entertainers were to have appeared, Miss Brown, who directed their rehearsal on the stage, said: 'Colored singers from Hampton Institute, Howard University and Richmond, Va., have trained faithful entertainers on you, on the promise that there would be no segregation. Now, we refuse to act because colored people in the audience have been segregated to the balcony." The Marine Band struck up a tune to drown any demonstration, while the colored people in the balcony arose in a body and filed out. R. Nathaniel Dett, head of the musical department of Hampton University, said a trustee of the school, if his group should go on with their act. Mr. Dett said Justice Taft declined to advise him. According to Mrs. Phillip North Moore, American president of the council, the blame for the segregation, if any, rested with the auditorium management. L. G. Fancy, manager of the auditorium passed the blame on to the ticket committee. Edward Talbert, in charge of the box office, said he had covered seats in the balcony on the balefield that it was the general custom. The singling out of Negroes to discriminate against while representatives of various other nationalities were allowed to choose their seats in the auditorium is said to have aggravated the sense of injustice felt by the students and the colored patrons. The Women's Council is an international body drawing its membership from practitioners everywhere on the Globe, it is said, but the committee found it feasible to apply discrimination exclusively to American Negroes, even in the face of hundreds of those in the audience to whom American race prejudice is entirely unknown.

In the six years that this campaign has been carried on, the local chapter has given four scholarships to young men of this section to aid them in obtaining a college education. Oratorical Contest Planned In the past an essay contest and a public mass meeting have been the features of "Go-to-High School-Go-College" week. This year the two ideas will be combined in an oratorical contest between representatives of the several high schools in this section of the State. Huntington of Newport News, I. C. Norcom of Portsmouth, Union St., of Hampton, Hampton Academy, St. Joseph's, and Booker T. Washington of Norfolk are the schools expected to be represented in the contest. A large silver cup is to be awarded to the school whose representative wins the contest. If one school wins the cup three years (not successive), that school automatically becomes permanent holder of the cup. A gold and silver medal will be given the two most successful contestants. The contest is to be held at the First Baptist Church, Bute street, Norfolk, on Friday evening, May 15, at 8 o'clock. The admission is free and the public is cordially invited to attend. Visiting Speakers In keeping with its custom of former years, Zeta Lambda chapter will send visitors to the schools of this section—both grammar and high. Since the sixth grade is the highest grade in some of the schools some pupils feel that when they have finished the sixth grade they have finished grammar school and drop out of school. A special effort will be made to reach these pupils and correct this idea. Efforts are being made to impress upon those who do not go to school the necessity of doing so, and to encourage those in school to go high. Special Sermons When an appeal was made to the ministers for cooperation in this movement, the Baptist Minister's Union immediately endorsed the movement and passed a resolution to preach special sermons on Education on Sunday, May 17. Other ministers also expressed their desire to help by preaching sermons on that date. Zeta Lambda Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha wishes to thank those organizations and individuals who have given aid in carrying on the "Go-to-High School-Go-to-College" campaign in this vicinity. Altho this movement was instituted by the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, the fraternity recognizes and appreciates the valuable aid rendered by other organizations. PERSONALS —Mrs. Irma L.

It was one of those notices to the world such as was expressed by Booker T. Washington in Atlanta, in 1895. The four thousand delegates to the conference were electrified. The hard-working, brilliant woman from Florida literally brought the vast assemblage to its feet. The daily press told the story of the story she told, using such words as "unprecedented," "for the first time," "marvelous" and kindred glowing terms. Colored delegates had a vision of a new champion who would be heard. The editor-in-chief of the Associated Negro Press, wired the home office that quite by surprise this colored woman had taken the huge, dignified convention by storm.

It presents a so striking in its picture of a woman from all circumstances, with her five students around her, the prized scope and influence of Daytona Institute, it was caught by the great biologist Epicurus Church, feel that her personal experience from the humble man who saw a vision to the leadership in many ways that now enjoy, would be of a greater interest every man reader. of the most significant in Blue Bird Pearls Diamond Rings Wrist-Watches Guaranteed Diamond-Onyx Rings Parasols Distinguished A. E. a log cabin, one of seventeen children. In a short story of that life and work, prepared by the Rev. F. K. Stratton, Medford Hillside, Mass, it is written that at an early age she had a vision of the great needs of her people and that she became intensely local to that vision. A kindly providence opened her way for specific training for the work which she had in mind. A white woman interested in Negro education, having learned of the young girl's ambition, furnished the scholarships necessary as a work of charity. A prominent educator describes the preparation of Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune for the work she has accomplished, in this way: "A childhood of hard labor with ex-slave parents on a little cotton and rice farm in South Carolina where she was born in a three-room log cabin July 10, 1875. Then walking six miles a day thru the winter to attend the Mission school in Mayesville; later, seven years in Scotia Seminary for girls in North Carolina, and one year in the Moody Bible School in Chicago. Then a few terms of teaching in mission and public schools in Georgia and Florida, then marriage, motherhood, sorrow and loss." Patently, but eagerly she hollowed the way of her vision and the waisting of her heart to aid in the upbringing of her people. To the advantage of her, as though by divine appoinment at, Mrs. Bethune had been guided to Daytona, Florida, and we located in a section of the city, peopled exclusively by Negroes. Her vision as to opportunity was realized. The young life of the streets was apparently unconsciously waiting for an initiative to history ideals than those to which had been known. The young missionary was at hand ready for the beginning of her life's work. Wisely and prudently she first sought the approval of the parents to her plan to gather their children from their will life into a school for instruction, first as to the essential for the home. This presentation appealed to them. Her second step was to secure a place where a temporary home might be established and object lessons might be taught showing the value of refinement in manners, conduct and conversation. Application was made to a black man for the rent of a four-room cabin—the applicant saying to him—"I have no money now to pay, but you certainly shall be paid." After looking into her eyes for a moment, he said: "I will trust you." She secured boxes from the stores for seats and cast-off furniture from the white householder in the city, which gave somewhat the appearance of a tidy homestead. Her first class of five little black girls gathered from the streets into a black man's rented cabin was the beginning of the Daytona-Normal and Industrial Institute in 1901, with one dollar and fifty cents in each, with prayer and great faith.

College Field Meets (By Associated Negro Press) It is interesting, as well as encouraging to see Negro colleges promoting interscholastic meets and tournaments. Claflin university has just put, over a successful track and field meet, in which a number of South Carolina high schools were entered. Last month, West Virginia Collegiate Institute, the high school's successful basketball tournament for the interscholastic championship of the State. Aside from the fact that such gatherings have a highly educational value to the students who participate, they encourage other lads to enter the high schools. Maybe they enter with the hope of getting on the team so that they make a difference in the tournament they enter. Anything that encourages our youth to go farther along the way of education should be applauded. JUNIORS WIN IN CLASS MEET JUNIORS WIN IN CLASS MEET Inclement Weather During Week Handi capped Runners' Training Resulting in Few Exceptional Records. By P. BERNARD YOUNG, JR. Hampton, Vn., May 2—To its already impressive record in athletics at Hampton Institute, the Junior Class added another star today when it captured the annual interclass track and field meet held by Hampton, on her Armstrong Field, which will be the scene of the fourth annual Collegiate meet on the 16th. The lads of the 1926 class, known as the "trustees," by placing in eleven of the fifteen events on the ppg course, all-but eluded strength which gave them the honors over five other classes in a meet that took on a very important aspect due to the coming championship meet. The '26 class emerged victorious with an amassed total of 49 points. The college division was a 'good second with a total of 35 points. The next nearest opponents were the Sophomore class with 24 points and the Senior class with 77 points, 16 of which points were won by W. M. King, present to I. A. Record holder in the 229 lowest league, who once broke strongly after a year's absence from track competition. He placed first or second in four events, and then, at the coach's orders withdrew from the low hurdles, his favorite event. Robert A. Coles Jr., present variety track captain, copied two first places—in the mile and two mile events. Though his time was comparatively slow, it was evident he had plenty in reserve. Henry Jackson also a member of the winning team, with brilliant vies. He scored the 100 and 220 yard dashes, aided materially in '26's victory. One existing record of the C. I. A. A. was equaled and one smashed. King equalled the 120 yard high hurdle record, though Baker, who was disqualified for knocking down three hurdles, finished first. Hargrove smashed the javelin throw record with a heave of 161 feet and 11 inches. There were many other good performances too numerous to mention, and in the coming Hampton meet, today's records are expected to be celled by good margins. Summary of Events 100 Yard Dash; H. A.

ST. PAUL BOWS TO SHAW NINE Raleigh, N. C.—The "Bear brigade" nosed out the St. Paul nine by a creditable margin in one of the most brilliant games of the season on "red hill." The "Bears" were the first to score, holding a three-run lead over one third of the journey. The battle was thought to be a whitewash on the part of the Shawites, owing to their pep, fight and lead as well, but the said nine made a good attack the Virginians in the fifth frame when they netted four runs. "Bullet Joe" Campbell who was on the mound for the home boys was relieved by "Izzy" Diamond who left the Virginians down with two hits the rest of the way. Jimmy Lytle, an old vet, and master in the baseball world, was then pulled in from left garden to replace Diamond at first. The "Bears" settled down once more with the old time pep and finished the inning in jig time. With two down in the sixth and a runner on second. Diamond's timely single tied the count 4-4. The hitting inning was appreciated beyond the reasonable doubt in the sight of the anxious fans and teammates, in that, the resulting runs put the game on ice. St. Paul however, came back in the next frame and coped two more runs when Tyler with two on connected with one of the Shaw twirler's fast ones for two bases. This ended the scoring for the visitors but the "Bears" made one or two more scores for the sake of the margin. The hitting of Lytle for Shaw and Walker for St. Paul set the scoring, and two hits respectively, out of five times up. "Blue" Black hit safely in his tenth consecutive game for Shaw, while Wallace for St. Paul did good work with the willow. "Red" Armstrong played a consistent game at the hot corner and manager "Hob" also played; "his playing-will not be forgotten." Famous Walker Back (By Associated Negro Press.)

NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE Southeastern Colleges A Nearing Close Of Se Southeastern Colleges Are Nearing Close Of Season --- Atlanta, Ga—With both Morehouse and Atlanta University, leading contenders for the beautiful Spalding trophy to be awarded the championship baseball team of the S. I. A. A., having only three games left on their respective schedules, interest is at fever heat. The game next Saturday on Morehouse College campus between A. U. and Morehouse will undoubtedly decide the champion. In addition Morehouse has two games with Tuskegee and A. U. has two NORCOM FALLS BEFORE BOOKERS BY WILLEY A. JOHNSON Norcom fell behind the superb playing of the Fighting Bookers Monday at Portsmouth Leagua Park and was walloped to the tune of 9-6. Norcom's downfall can easily be attributed to lack of the necessary punch which rendered the nine incapable of standing the gaff met out by the Norfolk high school clan. Johnson who hurled for the locals was in top form and kept the team across the "Lazy Lizzie" puzzled from gong to gong. Johnson fed Norcom out of his mitt from the first to the ninth when he staged a rally occasioned by loose playing on the part of the Bookers and threatened seriously to catch the lead established by his team, which opened by beating over five runs in the final frame. However, this effort was soon nipped in the bud by the locals tightening up and checking Norcom's seeming onslaught. Booker Washington drew first blood in the first inning. Ross was given a free trip to first and steadily advanced on the bags until Thomas placed the willow on the pill for a single scoring the runner. Ragsdale singled to leftfield and scored Thomas, making the total two in the first. In Norcom's half of the second the first run was scored. The Bookers scored again in the fourth and eighth while the Portsmouth team failed to register. In the ninth Washington pushed over four runs and Norcom increased her number by adding five. Johnson and Toliver bore the brunt of the offensive for the Scrapping Bookers while Williams for Norcom stood out for his team.

Y., May 4—After being located for many years in the most accessible and most readily discernible corner of famed Times Square, the New York office of the Billboard has been moved to 1560 Broadway just below the Palace Theater Building. While the move was one made necessary by the intention of the Paramount Film Company, owners of the Paramount Pictures, the office building on the spot, the new location is more in the centre of the Rialto that is a constantly changing, steadily moving northward axis of things theatrical for the nation at large. J. A. Jackson, editor of "The Page" of course, goes with him and will hereafter welcome his visitors at Room 309 in the new offices. Incidentally no office in America is so open and so hospitable as is the reception room where the reception accorded visitors one whit less than accorded to any others. One need, not be in the theatricals or amusements to be welcome in the home of the great showworld publication. Jumping Jack Dempsey (By Associated Negro Press) Jumping Jack Dempsey, non-fighting heavyweight champion of the world, on his way to fistiana, but to Europe. His mission? Honeymooning. Quite naturally he is chaperoned by his new manager, Madame Estelle Taylor Dempsey. On his trip across the States from coast to coast to New York, he was asked by the scribes if he intended to fight any more. His answer was always "Yes." His answer to the scribes his comeback was always "See Kearns." He arranges the scraps and I take care of 'em. In our opinion, Dempsey will never again. Not even if he makes up his mind and wants to do so. A few months ago the Dodger made a statement something like this: "I don't owe anything to the newspapers. They have never done anything for me." Think of that! Newspaper writers have made him and he says that they have done nothing for him. They have told the world that he is the greatest champion that has worn the crown, despite the fact that he has fought few real hitting fighters. They have placed him on a pinnacle with the howling mob of fight fairs at his feet. Yet he says he owes the newspapers nothing. with Clark University. However, barring sensational upsets of the dope both teams should emerge victors in these games. Hence the interest surrounding the second game between Morehouse and A. U. The first game which was played on A. U.'s campus and closed by rain the 6th inning resulted in a 5 to 4 victory for Morehouse College. Since the game undergone several shake-ups and has shown such decided improvements in their last few games that it seems highly probably that they will get the edge on Morehouse in the closing and deciding game of the season. Morehouse College finds itself with its back to the wall in an endeavor to win the championship because of the loss of a loosely played game last Saturday which Morris Brown won 10 to 4. The following is the standing of the teams in the S. A. A. to date: Morochouse ..... 9 A. U. ..... 3 Morris Brown ..... 7 Fla. A. & M. 1 Tuskegee ..... 3 Clark ..... 2 Ala.

FOUR WORLD RECORDS UPSET FOUR WORLD RECORDS UPSET During the last two weeks, according to the tabulations of the Associated Press, four world records in standard track and field events, two American collegiate and one national mark have been knocked to thirteenth by athletes in meets extending from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Figures for two medley events have been totally swept away, Texas" four running to a new mark of 7 minutes 35 5- seconds at the Lawrence, Kansas, meet a week ago, and Georgetown establishing a 3 minutes and 2 seconds for a mile at the University Pennsylvania relays at Philadelphia.

New York City, May 5. The Literary Contest which was conducted by The Opportunity Magazine, for the purpose of stimulating and creating literary effort on the part of the Negro, and to discover new and promising young writers, was brought to a close last Friday evening, at an Award dinner at the Fifth Avenue Restaurant. It was one of the most inspiring and epok-making occasions in the life of the Negro in this country, and marked a new stride in the cultural development of the race. It was a most brilliant setting, with some of the most noted and distinguished men and women of both races present. Men and women whose names stand high in the literary life of the nation, rubbed elbows with new and budding writers, many of them being introduced for the first time. The contest which was under the supervision of Charles S. Johnson, editor of The Opportunity Magazine, was of national significance. There were 732 entries, from every section of the country. Older Writers Realized Significance Older writers who realized the significance of the contest, joined with the young writers in expressing their race ife. The contest showed the striking reactions on many of the vital problems confronting the Negro in America, as well to call attention to the vast material built around the Negro, which has not been fully explored. The contestants dealt frankly with their race life, and presented the Negro in his relationship to the nation. The contest was divided into the following divisions: Poetry, Short Story, Essays, Plays and Personal Experiences Sketches. All of the manuscripts submitted showed a high degree of intelligence, and brought forth the praise of the judges. The contest is to be a permanent feature of The Opportunity Magazine, and through this method the magazine believes that it will be able to encourage writers of the race to express their own life of which they are a vital part, and of which they are familiar. The May issue of Opportunity Magazine carried the full account of the winners and the judges. I the $500.00 from which the cash prizes were awarded was donated by Mrs. Henry Goddard Leach, a fine American white woman, and the wife of Henry Goddard Leach, editor of the Forum Magazine. Mrs. Leach felt that there were hundreds of young Negroes, as well as older, who were but waiting the call to express themselves. It was a most inspiring sight to see coming forth what is to be a new note in Negro life in America. ing. *Mrs. Mary Little Kays has returned from Wilson. *Miss Edie Doye has returned after closing of her school. *Miss Maggie Floyd was suddenly called home from Livingstone College to be at the bedside of her mother, Mrs. J.

He has taken active part in the plans of the Dorrance Brooks Post to dedicate a square in New York City to the memory of Private Dorrance Brooks of the 369th Regiment, the war hero after whom the post is named and who was killed overseas and posthumously decorated with the Croix de Guerre. The square is situated at 136th street, St. Nicholas Park and Morningside avenue, New York City, and will be dedicated during the week of Memorial Day by the post with appropriate ceremonies. He was a visitor in Norfolk during the V. F. W. Encampment here two years ago. Are there 2,500 drug addicts among the Negro population of Norfolk? Out of a total population of approximately 60,000 people, are 2,500, around 5 per cent of them ensnared in the tentacles of cocaine, heroin, or morphine, never to be released until a merciful death "takes them off." That is a serious question, and if it were not so clearly realized that candor in faces facts often does a great deal of good, much of this story would be better unwritten. Judge D. Lawrence Groner, of the United States District Courts of the Eastern District of Virginia, just a few months ago in delivering a charge to the Federal grand jury anent the convening of his court in Norfolk pointed to an alarming increase of the illegal traffic in drugs locally and warned of the seriousness of the problem. More recently in addressing an audience in St. Paul C. M. E. Church he estimated that approximately 2,500 Inhabitants of the colored sections of the city were addicted to drugs. Lieutenant J. Williams Clifford, United States Government Investigator and Federal Narcotics Officer, who recently conducted a two months' probe of this phase in the drug traffic in this city concludes that about 5 per cent of the colored folks here are addicted to drugs. Compare the estimates, taking 60,000 as a convenient figure from which to get an eve per centage especially, inasmuch as that figure also represents the approximate total colored population here. Five per cent of 60,000 is 3,000. Quite close to Judge Groner's estimate, and allowing for the disparity that would follow if the exact population 57,000 were taken, the judge's estimate and the estimate of Lieutenant Clifford would come very close together. Alarming as these figures are, it is a little consoling to recall that Federal Narcotics Agents making a probe in Baltimore about three years ago estimated that out of the city's total population there were 25,000 "dope" addicts. Whether the above estimates are the result of cool calculations or of casual observations, the fact remains that the illicit drug traffic NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, MAY 9, 1925 Thousands of Future Citizens March In Loyalty Day Parade Race Group Makes Splendid Showing In March; Every School In City Represented; Week Successfully Closed. Youth had its day last Friday. Upwards of 6000 boys ranging from tots, able to do little more than toddle down the streets, and lads, just peeping anxiously over the fence into manhood, marched in the Loyalty Day Parade here behind several brass bands, drum corps, etc., that blared martial strains for the thousands of prancing feet. In this impressive group of tomorrow's citizens, were approximately 2000 colored boys. In the line of march, they brought up the rear, but in step, appearances, and outward manifestation of national loyalty they were far from being behind. Thousands of people lined the streets and craned their necks with obvious glee as the whole parade trumped by. It was an inspiring sight, the inscriptions on the banners and placards carried by the marchers, briefly told of youth's ambitions. But uneasiness was evident among the large group of Negro citizens that peered down the streets, hoping that their own boys would soon put in an appearance. Finally the unrivalled tunes of the Execsior Band floated on the air. That was enough. It was the anxiously awaited signal—the boys were coming. With military tramp and with a feeling of the spirit of the moment the Execsior played, and played and played and the crowds along the streets could not possibly conceal their elation. The colored boys were marching in grand review. Boys of Booker T. The boys of Booker T. High marched behind the Excelsior They too were on dress parade, and realized that fact. With becoming decorum, now and then displaying slight military drill tactics, the boys acquitted themselves splendidly. School after school followed, every one of Norfolk's oases of learning was represented. It would be impossible to pick a best from the lot. All were good. But it would not detract credit from a single unit in the parade to say that both St. Joseph's band and St. Joseph's boys stood out. (Continued on page 11.) has increased enormously in the past few years. A famous investigator who conducted the Baltimore probe, is authority for the following statement: "Give anyone two years of using drugs—morphine, cocaine or heroin—and only death can release him from the shackles of this curse. There is no cure. There is no drawing back once the drugs gets its tentacles around its victim. "The addict, the name given the habitual user, knows this. There comes a time when he or she suffers all the tortures of the damned for want of drugs. The result is many take the easiest way out of their misery—suicide. "With calculating coolness of a brain not diseased and in a manner that baffles detection, these victims take their leave-taking. Only a mourning father, mother, brother or sister knows their dark secret." The new and deadly drug industry has grown up to supply this craving. It supplies by stealth that which is denied by law—the drug. In Norfolk, there are a group of people who are growing rich by trading upon the weakness of drug users. Hear Federal Narcotics Agent Percy Clarke, now of this city, but who conducted the investigation in Baltimore in 1922: "Of all the despicable type of criminal that is known to the police, the drug-booster is by far the worst. It is he or she (for those contemptible beings are not confined to sex) who, working on a commission business, snares the victims into a trap from which few ever draw back * * * * It may be a little party, or "dope" racket where the snaring is done. It is not a hard matter to induce unsuspecting victims to take a "shot" or a "bang" * * * What of the young girls who attend these parties? It would be best perhaps to draw the curtain were it not for the fact that candor in facing facts often does a great deal of good." Once filled with drugs these young women are possessed of feelings that know of no repression when it comes to morals. Too late do they awaken to a realization that their moral fibre has been weakened to a point that has vir- available at Wholesale Rates to Undertakers everywhere. Connections in all Principal Cities.

OFFICERS OF LEKIES HOME BUILD FINE APARTMENTHOUSES Fine Buildings Erected On Johnson Avenue And On Chicazola Street Will Be Ready By May 15. The directors of the Lekies Home for Colored Aged and Orphans are just about ready to announce the completion of two modern brick apartment houses for rental purposes which they have had under erection for the past several weeks. One of these buildings, the apartment on Johnson avenue, near Chicazola street, will accommodate two families, allowing each family four rooms. The building on Chicazola street, near Johnson avenue, has accommodations for four families, each apartment containing three rooms. All, of the apartments are equipped with electric lights, gas bath rooms, washtubs, bookcases, pantries, ample closets and kitchen cabinets. They are among the coziest and most modern buildings in the city offered for rentals. It is believed by the contractor who is erecting the structures that they will be ready for occupancy by May 15. The Johnson avenue building has been named the "Lekies Apartments," in honor of the late Mrs Lekies, a prominent white woman whose donations to the home for the aged has contributed largely to its maintenance. The building on Chicazola street has been named the "Hayes Apartments," in honor of the late Mrs. Elizabeth Hayes, a prominent colored woman, who, at her death made an annuity to the home of $5.00 a month. Miss E. M. Poole was made administratrix of this trust and monthly she has paid this sum to Lekies Home for a period covering five years. Will Provide Revenue The property on Johnson avenue tually cast them outside the pale of society. Why Police Are Baffled Police and federal officers keep a perpetual vigilance for these "done" noddlers. Fighting this form of vice aid human depravity is rendered difficult on account of the case with which such valuable consignments of drugs can be concealed. The lapel of a man's coat, a vent in a seam in any of his garments may be the receptacle for $100 worth of cocaine. Police may have every reason to believe that certain houses are "dope" dens, but how are they to get the evidence? It takes evidence to get a conviction, and drug vendors are well aware of that fact. Suppose the police attempt to batter down the securely barred doors to these death traps, then the inmates of the house find it easy to consign their precious stuff to the sink or toilet, $500 worth of the white powders can be washed down the sewer with one flush of the toilet. Will the addicts "squeal" on those who supply them? Seldom ever. They must have a supply and they will be the last persons to contribute to Will Get Medal MAJOR LeROY HODGES Major LeRoy Hodges, managing director of the Virginia State Chamber of Commerce, who will be decorated by the National Committee on Prisons and Prison Labor on May 23, for "distinguished service toward the improvement of prisons."

He is president of the Virginia Penitentiary Board. and on Chicazola street, now that it has been improved, will in time provide handsome revenue towards the unknee of the home. LeKies Home has served very creditably in this community in its aims and purposes. Aged applicants are admitted whether they are able to pay for their support or not. Its officers and directors have struggled valiantly with the problems of the institution since its organization in 1893, and considering the magnitude of some of these problems, particularly those relating to its financial status, which have been in the main, they have done remarkably well. The present board of directors consists of Dr. F. R. Trigg, Prof. J. R. Dungee, Prof. D. G. Jacox, Dr. W. T. Lovette, Messrs. S. L. Tucker, Alfred Robinson, H. C. Young, Alex Wright, George S. Collins and Mrs. Casper Titus. Dr. Trigg is president; Alex Wright, secretary-treasurer. the stoppage of that supply. How did Lieut. Clifford manage to get his evidence? If he were never permitted to take any of the drugs out of the houses he visited. But he did take some out and took it out while the eyes of his host rested firmly on him. How that was done is a secret of sleuthing and is not a subject to be revealed in this article. Again, there are times when the seller relents in his no-take-out rule. But only after he has become thoroly convinced that his customer is a genuine customer. Here is where the sleuth must play the game for all it is worth. Every move he makes must be a cautious one. They must not think he is not one of them. Once suspected, his life is in immediate peril. Alone in the "den" with none other than the denizens, to attempt to make an arrest, even if he had orders to do so, would be suicidal. The Lieutenant is playing evidence, but he must also get out of the house with his life. The drug he has purchased, he cannot put into his pocket. He must "sniff" it. But he doesn't sniff it. By all means he must keep a clear head. His life depends on that and his service to the Government would be worthless without it. But the dose he has ordered and paid for must disappear right in the sight of the person who sold it, and it must not disappear in the supposed addict's pocket. No haste is necessary, only caution. The "Lone Wolf" takes his time, "sniffs" the "coke" in the regular way, but does not "sniff" it at all.

IN THE STATE Campaign Launched For $10, 000 For Piedmont Sanatorium; State Health Cimmissioner Secures $15,000.00. The Negro Organization Society of Virginia, whose membership is composed of churches, Sunday schools, public leagues, lodges and societies and other uplift organizations in the State, is committed to the task of raising Ten Thousand ($10,000) Dollars, to supplement a fund of Fifteen Thousand ($15,000) Dollars, which has been secured by Dr. E. G. Williams, State Health Commissioner, for the erection of another building at Piedmont Sanatorium. The purpose of the new building is to relieve the present crowded condition at the Sanatorium which often makes it necessary for applicants to wait from two to three months for admittance owing to the shortage of beds. Rev. M. E. Davis, Chairman in a recent meeting of the Central Committee of the Society, Dr. M. E. Davis, of Portsmouth, was appointed chairman of the State-wide Committee, created to conduct the campaign, with authority to appoint suitable persons in every city and county, to direct the work in their respective localities; every city and county being asked to raise a certain amount. To facilitate the work of raising this $10,000, the Governor of our State, Hon. E.

On National Negro Finance Corporat SECRETARY REPORTS MORE THAN$100,000SUBSCRIBED PAGE EIGHT Prominent Men From All Over State Meet At Durham And Put O. K. On Great Commercial Enterprise. (By Associated Negro Press) Durham, N. C, May 6—In the State-wide meeting here this week attended by about one hundred business men gathered from all sections of the State, the O. K. of these representatives of the commercial life in the State was given enthusiastically to the Negro Finance Corporation. All of the officials of the organization were present, including Dr. Robert R. Motson, president, C. S. Capland, chairman of the Board, W. Gomez, secretary-manager, and J. M. Aery, treasurer. W. Gomez, in his report to the conference, announced that already more than $100,000.00 had been subscribed, $12,000.00 of which same from the State of Texas, howing how widespread was the interest in the movement. He also stated that many applications for stock had come in by mail unso- Bishop L. W. Kyles, of the A. M. E. Zion Church, Winston-Salem, stated that with men like Dr. Monton and C. C. Spaulding behind the corporation, he believed in the corporation and would support it. Bishop Kyles demonstrated his belief in the corporation by taking 500,000 work Dr. James F. Sheard, State Grand Master of Masons and President of the Durham State College for Negroes, who is one of the stockholders of the corporation was unable to be present, but signified his interest by stating in a message that he was backing the program of service which the organization offers. Dr. Moton Believes in Business When Dr. Moton was presented, the men gave him a rousing ovation. He spoke in part as follows: "Twenty-five years ago the National Negro Business League was founded by the late Booker T. Washington to promote the financial and commercial development of the Negro race and I attended every meeting. I did not go because I thought I could give anything to the sessions, but I went regularly because of my faith in Booker T. Washington and the organization which he founded. I believe then and I believe now that the forces of our people should be directed toward business. "After Dr. Washington's death when I was elected president of the League as his successor, I determined if the league would survive and continue to serve, it should undertake a very definite purpose. On one of my trips abroad I had the opportunity to study the financing methods of the Irish Organization Society; and I wanted to look into some of the Jewish organizations of this country, which have for their purpose the financing of members who desire to go into business. When money has been advanced by these organizations the records show that some of the borrowers have returned the amounts in small installments and paid as much as ten per cent. additional. One of these Jewish organizations now have a million dollars. It was this general idea which inspired the launching of the National Negro Finance Corporation. How It Will Operate It has been interesting to Mr. Spalding, M. Gomez and myself to note already the unusual amount of opportunities that the Finance Corporation even now has to serve. If this sum cannot be secured, there is easily more property which is easily worth eight hundred thousand dollars. Another concern needs twenty-five thousand dollars for the expansion of its business and it has sufficient assets. Still another organization needs seventy-five thousand dollars. All of these enterprises are controlled by men of our race who have reputations of good business and having some difficulty in raising necessary funds. When our organization shall have opened for business, we would in each case send experts to make the proper investigation of the assets before the loans are made. We find that it is not always money that our business men need in their organizations. More often it is merely advice and instructions as to how they should proceed. Frequently they have gotten into difficulties in issuing their backed stocks. The finance Corporation will have competent men to install the proper systems for handling their business and if, in their judgment, financing is needed, the Finance Corporation can do it. Some times re-organization is needed and sometimes with a new system installed, that will be sufficient to give them a new start on the road to success. EDENTON Edenton, N.

On Natio ORGANIZED LABOR PLANS TO STUDY RACE RELATIONS Bearing Of Question On Industry To Be Given Special Attention Of American Federation of Labor. MOVEMENT INDORSED BY NOTED OFFICIALS (Special to Journal and Guide) Philadelphia, Pa., April 30—What is regarded by many authorities as a new epopoe in the relation between white and Negro workers in America was begun on Sunday of last week when in the Fourth Annual Convention in this city of the Workers' Educational Bureau a resolution was passed in favor of the development of courses of interracial and international adjustment in connection with the study of trade union problems by leaders of labor movements. This resolution was introduced at the request of T. Arnold Hill, Director of the Department of Industrial Relations of the National Urban League, who at the invitation of some of the members of the convention attended the session. The text of the resolution is as follows:— "Because of the very evident contribution the various races and nationalities are making to the development of the labor movement in all lands and the widespread misunderstanding and ignorance with reference to these contributions, we strongly recommend that the American Labor movement study of races and nationalities and their relationship to the labor movement. This is especially essential in this country in view of the varied racial composition of American industry and the vital sympathies and concern of the American Labor movement towards workers of all races." This paves the way for the introduction of courses of study in Labor Colleges of lectures on relations between Negro workers and the labor movement and the contributions which Negroes as laborers have made and are making to the development of American life. e Turn Out Fashion Show John Jackson, Cotton, Pinney, Farmer and Henry Otey.

The commission determined to push the crusade more vigorously than ever, by appeals to governors, sheriffs and other law enforcement officers, by efforts to secure additional legislation in certain States, by personal intervention in case of threatened lynchings, and by the cultivation through the press and in every other way possible of such a public sentiment as will no longer tolerate mob murder.

According to an explanation given in a letter received by the Journal and Guide from Mr. C. F. Graves, principal of Roanoke Institute, Elizabeth City, N. C., concerning the recently published announcement writing, that the school had been award an accredited high rating, it appears that Mr. Graves was misled in releasing this statement to the press from improper interpretation of literature he read relative to the schools of North Carolina. From the tenor of his letter and the explanation offered there seems to have been absolutely no desire on his part to mislead anyone in regard to the status of Roanoke Institute. "I have your letter stating that you have received a letter from Mr. Robinson, of the State Department of Education in which he asks for a correction of the statement appearing in the April 25 issue of that report that Ramone Institute has been accredited by North Carolina. "The error for which Roanoke Institute seems responsible was the result of a misunderstanding in the reading and interpretation of some literature coming from the Department. Mr. Robinson, who is supervisor of the Negro high schools of North Carolina, visited our school early in the year and gave suggestions as to how we might become accredited, the requirements generally already being known to us. We have followed out his suggestions as well as we could and felt that we were in line for State recognition. Meanwhile letters have been received from the obvious principal in the Department providing us. One letter from Mr. Newbold stated that from information he had in his Division that it seemed possible for Roanoke Institute to become accredited this year.

RICHMOND Journal and 'Golde Hiread 1212 St. John St. ROBERT A. CRUMP THINKS CIGARETTES MAY BEOUTGROWTH OF BABY PACIFIERS Woman Doctor Says Hankering For Smokes And Gum May Be Relic Of Old Fashioned "Sugar Rag." Richmondi, Va.-Dr. Bessie B Tharp, a prominent woman physician, speaking in the interest of child welfare at the Second Baptist Church Sunday morning, declared that it is her belief that the immediate cause for the inherent desire on the part of men and women to be continually placing something in their mouths, such as cigarettes, cigars, chewing gum and the like, is the outgrowth of the old fashion "passifier" that had always been given to children to quiet them the moment they began to smoke. Those children had been the higher stage of development of the old-fashioned "sugar-rag," which created an appetite that has clung to the people through the years. The occasion was Baby Day and there were any number of mothers with babies 'of all ages. Dr. Tharps urged these mothers to be more careful in the use of 'passifiers' and soothing syrups and songs that will have a tendency to lure them. The children can only be quieted by drink or something similar. On the other hand she prevailed upon them to create a family altar in the home and "let the, children see you pray," "Teach them by precept and example, for children learn far more by what they see than by what they hear," "consisting of recitations and songs, etc., by the little children of the Sunday school was very pleasing.

Tells Seniors To (Continued from page 7.) This spirit is an intangible thing which we can feel in the life of Hampton. It is remarkable to see how Hampton has influenced this country. The work of the Jeanes Board grew out of the spirit and life of Dr. H. B. Krissell. The work of the Rosenwa Fund grew out of the spirit and life of Booker T. Washington. All this work can be traced back to Armstrong. Hampton Institute has always stood for co-operation among all people. It has always taught white men and black men to live together in mutual helpfulness, one another. It has taught that the finest thing for the people of this Nation and the world to do is to fight against the enemies of the human race. If we fight each other, we are gone. If we all work together against ignorance, disease, and other enemies of human life, then the human race will survive." NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE FRANKLIN MRS.

Thursday numerous groups of boys were escorted thru several race business establishments of the city, where they were shown the how and whereof the enterprises visited. Other wholesome features were provided for the boys during the week in keeping with the National Boys' Week program. The ministers of the city gave due cognizance to the event. Practically everyone of them preached boys' sermons Sunday. With the meagre facilities available the colored boys made an excellent showing in Boys' Week participation. Don't share the old-fashioned notion that one has to be unusually skilled in gardening to raise flowers. There are flowers that are hard to raise, but there are others especially the Peony, "the nearest rival to the rose,"—which can be grown by any amateur gardener. "The gardener for whom many other flowers present insuperable difficulties," writes Grace Tabor, Garden Editor of the Woman's Home Companion, in the May issue, "may with confidence turn to the Peony and the Peony once planted, will grow and bloom for him however unskillie he may be." ARE THERE 2,500 DOPE ADDICTS HERE (Continued from page 7.) However, it disappears and the peddler is disarmed of all suspicion. Dope peddlers are a wary lot of people. They are suspicious of everything and everybody. They are superstitious and it is only after an addict has thorny won the confidence of the peddler that he is permitted to take a few "decks" out with him. No one ever enters a "dodo den without having been beeped" on before he meets "peeped" what the gogole is for. If it is down to be the "law" at the door, a quick signal to the inmates upstairs and the "stuff" is passing down the sewer. Licut. Clifford posed while operating here as a "dope" addict, and cocaine fiend. He hobbled with big dope sellers and little peddlers. A number of those trafficking in the "goods" here were spotted. He was able to get the evidence that would stand up in court. His first duty when reaching a city he is to work is to survey the suspected "dope" area, then become a denizen of that area until he becomes on the best terms with one or two addicts. The way he did that was setting him able to put over a good job before he leaves that particular town. In spite of the large supply of "dope" in the city, it is virtually impossible for a stranger to purchase even a single grain. The vendors are far too crafty to deal with strangers. Sell to no white man is an unwritten but firm rule of the game. The law is personified in white people in this part of the country, and colored traffickers to play safe, never sell to white people. Easy Money It is the easy money and the big money that attracts so many to the selling end of the "dope" game. A half an ounce of cocaine is bought by the retailer for $18.00. On this lot he easily cleans up $25.00 a day. Fifty regular customers will net him this daily, revenue. Ten or twenty customer, "dope" houses generally net the wholesaler around 100 or $200 a day. The wholesaler never sells "coke" himself. His house or "funkies" are all high as $500 to $100.00 to make a trip to New York and return with a $500 or $1,000 purchase. More flunkies are paid to distribute it to the "houses." While these little "fish" are "flirting" with the law and taking chances on penitentiary sentences, the big "fish," the men who make the distribution of the poison possible, and who are directly responsible for the untold suffering and misery it causes, ride about town in high powered cars, most of the even unsuspected. The "mumneys" will do their work in the pen before he is healed, and there is nothing to do other than send them there while the ring-leaders go to a baseball game. As long as the big fellows are free and have the money the traffic will go on, because new runners are employed as rapidly as old ones go to jail. Street Peddler The street peddler of cocaine is exposed to very little risk. He never sells in the presence of anyone except himself and customer. In case of arrest, the seller's word is as good as the addict's. If none is found on the peddler, why there no evidence. I discuss the drug evil as observed in his secret investigations Lieutenant Cliffard said: "The drug evil is an insidious thing that ensnares old and young alike, male and female; breaks a down morality, turns the honest into thieves and gives up its victims to death alone. To the average persons the dope addict and peddler is considered nothing more than a social degenerate. He is this and more. He is a dangerous criminal. The "dope" peddler is a person, who by the very nature of his business will accomplish almost any ends to carry on his illegal traffic in narcotics. On the slightest provocation he will resort to phishing if caught, has very little regard for human life. The addict, to obtain money to satisfy his craving will resort to anythine." Lieut. Clifford added: "The citizens of Norfolk can render the Government and the community, great assistance and a great service in this connection by promptly requesting an investigation by federal officers of all houses, which they have reason to believe are carrying on the nefarious business of drug-selling. This is done by simply S. Nairing an unsigned letter to V.A. requesting the suspected house be investigated. National Agent Clifford is a native of Columbus, Ohio. He is the son of Hon. William H. and Carrie Clifford, the father having been elected for two terms to the Ohio Legislature, and his mother is the author of a book of poems entitled, "The Widening Light," just published and said to rival Dunbar in poetical expression. Mr. Clifford his primary education, graduated from the Public schools of Columbia. In 1908 he entered Howard University, graduating with the degree of A. B., in 1910, later taking post-graduate work in Columbia University. He was commissioned a First Lieutenant in Infantry from the 17th Provisional Officers Training Regiment at Fort Des Moines, in 1917, and later served overseas. He is credited with having been the first officer of his company to come in actual contact with the Germans in combat by capturing a German machine gun and bringing it back to his company while in the Argonne.

Tt was noted that among the large num- ber who paid their poll taxes and qualified to vote just prior to the expiration of the time limit were quite a number of our group. The proposed referendum on the jitney bus ordinance is perhaps responsible for this. The. referendum may, or may not, bring about the desired relief, but the oecasion for it will have served to show an clement of the population which has heretofore be€n lethargic on the question of voting that the ballot is a fine safeguard for one's pocket- book, The judicious use of the ballot in this democracy of ours is the only saféguard against: theithings that would rob us of “life, liberty-and'the pursuit of happiness.” The New Boys’ Club A group of public-spirited citizens have initiated 2 movement which aims to give the colored boys.of Norfolk a real live and worthwhile club. They have already en- rolled more than a hundred boys and have determinedly set themselves about, to do something that will partly remove the dis- advantage under which thousands of male youths in this city suffer in the mattter of needed recreational facilities. Here is a community project that should elicit the spontancous endorsement and tan- gible support of the city’s whole colored pop- ulation. It is difficult to recall any move- ment started here in recent years that was more deserving of the opportunity to live and enjoy a robust growth nurtured by pop- ular interest than is the new Boys’ Club. Anyone reviewing that splendid column of Negro boys in the mammoth parade last Friday whose heart did not quicken with an interest in this group that constrained him to say, “this is my own problem, what I do now will largely determine what they shall be able to do in years to come,” is utterly unimaginative. Considerable can be done for the boys through a well-ordered and e- quipped club such as the sponsors for the one recently organized have in mind. It should be done, and that without unneces- sary deiny. The executive committee is composed of young men whose connection with the proj- cot should draw unto it public confidence. They are giving their services for the boys gratuitously, Certainly if they feel inter- ested enough in the boy and his problems to take the initiative to help him, fathers and mothers might at least fall in line and sup- port the movement in every possible way. John Powell to the Rescue Tuesday's issue of the Newport Press Mr. John Powell, origina ngslo-Saxon clubs movement uses mn of space in an effort to dist nttitude of the Jourwat axp Gu ssed_ in our editorial discussi In Tuesday's issue of the Newport News Duily Press Mer. John Powell, originator of the Anglo-Saxon clubs movement uses nearly a column of space in an effort to distort the true attitude of the JouRNaL AND Guipe as expressed in our editorial discussion on April 4, of certain articles by the editor of the Daily Prese on the question of Negro education, racial integrity, ete. Mr. Powell, who has been variously describe as a mu- sician, scholar, ethnologist, historian and student of racial questions, descends to the level of a cheap politician and demagogue in trying to prove that this paper “covertly desired racial amalgamation.” His argu- ments are so puerile as to be unworthy of serious notice. Unable evidently to intelli- gently discuss the issues raised in our editor- ial, he runs around in the news columns to see if he ean find something that would justify his far-fetched assumption that what we really desired was “racial amalgama- tion.” So, he cites a violent” attack on Dr. Plecker on the front page; a picture of Mrs. A’Lelia Walker, on the same page; William Pickens’ arraignment of the re- markable Newport News miscegenation col- ony on page 12, and finally Parker's “Questions and Answers in Negro History,” on page 12, as proof that all Negroes in gen- eral and this paper in particular desired to “lose their African characteristics.” Following the thread of his argument what do we find? 1. ‘That Mrs. Walker is a manufacturer of toilet preparations, among which are so- called facisl “bleaches and hair tonics. So also are John Woodbury and hundreds of Bditorial Page of other white Americans who have made for- tunes selling face bleaches and hair tonics to white people, Were Anglo-Saxons trying to change their racial characteristic when they used these preparations? 2, He quotes William Pickens, but docs not answer him, Why? Let him read the reply of Maj, Cox, his friend. and co-worker, quoted below. : ‘ 3. He says that Parker’s “Questions and Answers in Negro History” are gro- . tesque misrepresentations, Matter of opin- ion; but suppose they are, what bearing do they have upon the question at issue? Why did not Mr. Powell address himself to the editorial expressions of this’ paper, which are a true index of our convictions, and which were pertinent to the subject un- der discussion, instead of evading the ques- tion? The answer, perhaps, is found in the following quotations from a letter which the JOURNAL aND Gu1DE received from Mr. Ernest S. Cox, under date of April 16. Mr. Cox is friend and co-worker of, Mr. Powell. Among other things he said: “T do not believe that the editor of the Press sanctions a red light district where the city of Newport News per- mits white men to keep colored women and where no colored man is allowed. But I am in jull agreement with the writer of the article in his desire to show the ridiculous and contemptible position of the white ruce when it pro- claims the danger of miscegenation und yet practices it. “INegal miscegenation is the white man's weak point in his theoretical color line. The weak point is the place to attack. Were I a Negro I would attack from this angle until the white man abandoned the color line or mended it” Mr, Cox was frank and honest. He went tight to the heart of the question and was manly enough to address his communication whore he thought it would do the most. good. Mr, Powell was evasive and mischievous, and worded his communication so that it would becloud the real issues and mislead those who had not read the JouRNAL AND Guie editorials. He is as ethical on that point as he is sincere in other respects. For his benefit and the benefit of others who think as he does, we should like to say that there is no difference of opinion be- tween the decent people of hoth races as to the desirability of maintaining strict mo- rality and racial integrity. There is no question about that. And these white men like himself, with their history of illegal miscegenation, who ate going around the country yelling for protection, are making themselves both ridiculous and disgusting. : An Experiment That Paid The startling revelations brought to é during the recent investigations of the " | traffic in narcotic drugs emphatically , | fied the government's experiment of se , | an Afro-American agent to explore “| phases of the Norfolk situation.

While he did not succeed in tearing up root and branch of the traffle, which in some of its aspects enjoys the benefit of intrenchment flowing from years of practical immunity, Federal Agent Clifford made inroads upon the local traffic heretofore regarded as im- pregnuble by the dope dealers and addicts, The main obstacle to approach of the drug dealers’ strongholds has been the color of the investigators, Reviewing the rami- fications of the local drug traffic the Fed- eral Agent concludes that colored persons engaged in the nefarious business have al- most immunized themselves against detec- tion and arrest-by the simple expedient of refusing in any way to deal with while per- sons in carrying on their illegal trade, Knowing that in the South all representa- tives of the law are white persons, these criminals safeguard themsglves by adoptinng, a no-trade rule with any man in whom the law might be personified. In that way it has heen made exceedingly difficult for the regular Federal officers to ferret out the eaders in the traffic, and it has grown to enormous proportions, spreading its tentacles ‘over the populace in an alarming manner, boastful and arrogant in its apparent im- munity, Experimenting with a colored investiga- tor the government corralled ten of the prin- cipal operators in the first raid as a result, of his disclosures. There is every reason to believe that if this policy is carried out vig- orously, in Norfolk and in other Southern cities, a marked decrease iA the traffic in narcotic drugs will be noted, In practically every instance where it has been tried it has been proved that law enforcement among certain groups is strengthened by the employment of men be- longing to the particular race group which it is desired to reach. This fact should out- weigh all other considerations in the enforce- ment of law and the suppression of crime, for the best interests of society depend more upon these factors than upon the doubtful political expediency of keeping men of a certain racial group out of the Jaw enforce- eng machinery, _—Harfoll, Zoseerual and Gade _sxteries The government has set a wholesome ee me OR, that precedent which might be followed with and killed: a mt rete wa mt tind ws [| QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS || S's mow nacuindimegore |.

The chairman predicts that before many. months the American system of rural edu- “cation as taught by the United States Farm Demonstration Agents and the Jeanes- Fund teachers will be used in Afriea, repre- sentatives of the British Colonial Office al- ready being in America studying Negro schools and our method of education for the purpose of going out to Africa and im- proving the lot of the masses in the rural districts of the Black Continent. Here, indeed, is set out a pictitre of Af- rica that must give hope to those who main- tain a sympathetic interest in the plight of less favored humanity. If at last the Colon- ial Empire has receded from its former un- savory policy of Africa and Africans for exploitation and adopted in its stead an at- titude of helpfulness toward its African protectorates, that is much to provoke gen- eral thankfulness. .

A of his own race there is a move raged and sanctioned by many Ic From Christian Science Moniter. Few, if any, among those Americans who are familiar with the history of their coun- try during the years preceding and im- mediately following the abolition of slavery, will oppose the plan to render national trib- ute to the life and works of Frederick Doug- lass, himself a former bondman. Among those of his own race there is a movement, encouraged and sanetioned by many leading white citizens, to allot to him a niche in the Hall of Fame. Surely if moral courage and devotion to a worthy cause entitle one to such recognition, the qualifications have been met in the present case. Fame knows no color line, no.aristocracy of birth or wealth, no country. It is by accomplishment only, by the maintenance of right ideals, and by steadfastness in times of discouragement and adversity, that the laurel wreath is won. Its bestowal, soon or late, comes only when those in whose behalf great sacrifices have been made learn to realize the true value of the service rendered. Douglass was a plantation slave, half Negro, and was sold by his master, a Mary- land planter, to a Baltimore shipbuilder, in 1832, when he was sixteen. Six years later “he escaped. Not until 1841, however, was his voice heard in condemnation of the ter- “rible system under which he was born and reared. It was at Nantucket that he first gave promise of the power and persuasive eloquence which later thrilled audiences both in his own country and in England. He was uneducated, except as ‘he was self- taught, but his thirst for knowledge was inspired by the realization that only through its attainment could he hope to exert an in- fluence which would aid in the deliverance of his people from human bondage. He lived to see his great hope realized, and to mark the progress of his fellows in their march upward and onward. In his lifetime, too, Douglass received that recognition to which he was so justly entitled. In 1871 he was appointed secre- tary of a commission sent by his Government to Santo Domingo; in 1872 he was a presi- dential elector; in 1877 he was marshal of the District of Columbia, and later Commis- sioner of Deeds, and in 1889 he was ap- pointed Minister to Haiti. In Rochester, N. ¥,, the city to which he fled after escap- ing slavery, a monument has been erected to his memory: In Boston, Douglass Square is named for him. No Negro has heretofore been proposed for a place in the Hall of Fame. Surely it seems fitting that the honor should be’ be- stowed. It would testify eloquently to the genuineness of American democracy. Per- haps it would likewise, tend to inspire and encourage, as such tributes are intended to do, greater unselfish devotion to the cause of humanity everywhere. It is only as hu- manity is emancipated and redeemed that it is freed from its own sense of hondage and its self-imposed servitude, | EGRO HISTORY ff IN NEGRO HIS ; By GEORGE WELLS PARKER (Copyright 1924 by A.

"relations, the causes of antago- nism, the signifieance of race, immigration, segregation, social equality, intermarriage, and po- litical rights, The discussions are dispassionate, scientific, and very interesting. Practical sug- gestions are offered for working out in safety and justice the va- rious problems raised. The au- thor's position in general is that radically diverse races who hap- pen to be in contact should seck to develop parallel civilizations, in mutual respect and helpful- ness, each preserving its racial integrity and making its pecu- liar contribution to the general welfare. Although an Englishman whose more intimate concern is with the problems of India and Africa, Dr. Oldham is neverthe- less remarkably well informed as to. conditions and attitudes in America. His viewpoint is broad, sympathetic, constructive, and thoroughly Christian. The book will give offense to no fair- minded reader, but one the con- trary will be enlightening and helpful to all.’ It should be very widely read. Notes On Labor Conditions Labor conditions have begun to show gradual improvement throughout the country, but a real demand is rather spotty, It will be a month or six weeks, be- fore things pick up sufficiently to encourage further migration. The government reports that farm labor is growing in demand in several sections of the coun- try with the promise of a great demand for this summer and fall. Steel business is still in a slump and will not likely make much improvement. this spring and summer. Packing houses are taking on a few men as is usual in the spring and increasing ca- pacity somewhat. The larger cities are to be a- voided as they are all filled with a surplus of common and semi- skilled labor. Chicago, Philadel- phia, New York, and Detroit, are cities where it is hest to keep away from for the present, Also Cleveland, Ohio. Building trades are showing a great pick- up, naturally, and most of the larger cities are having a brisk demand for ‘building tradesmen. However, get information first and be sure before you leave that there is a demand where you wish to go. | “Arkansas” In Bulgaria | By WILLIAM PICKENS ae The only difference is that Arkansas was a bit more savage: for in Bulgaria a bomb was ac. tually exploded and members of the oppressor class were actually killed while in Arkansas there had been neither plot nor attempt not intention to murder anybody, But otherwise that news from Bulgaria sounds very much like news fro Arkansas; we hear one -day that a bomb exploded and killed a number of: aristo- crats and we hear next day: that the King, the head aristocrat, has signed decree putting to death at once four hundred com- mon people who have not, been proved to have the remotest con- nection with the bombing. No- body has ever yet proved just who did the bombing, but the un- der-dogs must die at» once to avenge the deaths of a few of their’ “betters.” Of course, we hear from Bulgaria that some poor tortured devil has “con- fessed” that his friends did it— but we do not hear that from him, we hear it from ‘his tor, turers only and that is again like Arkansas. ‘All the news we are getting is coming from just one side, the King's side. ‘That is Arkansas toa “T.” We have tried to call the attention of fair-minded peo- ple of the United States to the fact that when they get reports of “race trouble” in the daily pa- pers, they are never getting the Negro's side of the matter. And coven when the Negro is quoted in those papers, some white man is responsible for the authenticity of the quotation and other white men edited it and printed it with “desirable” alterations! This news from Bulgaria is not going to fool everybody; it is not going to fool those in other lands who know the methods of the oppressor. King Boris is not going to prove to us how erim- inal his opponents are by killing them by the hundreds. (Oh, how we slaughtered Negroes in Ar- kansas and then jailed'a crowd of them,—and it took a six-year lit- gation on the part of a few civ- ilized people to prove that the Negroes were innocent!) Whoever set that bomb in that cathedral to murder men, women and children of the King’s party was a demon. But in our hum- ble opinion the man who signed the decree for the execution of four hundred of his fellow then, without adequate trial and suf- ficient proof of their guilt,—that man is today the greatest DE- MON in Bulgaria. Hampton-Tuskegee Endowment Boosted In Churches of Phila. | is Philadelphia, Pa—The Negro Churches of Philadelphia on April 19th inaugurated a program of in- terdenominational co-operation in support of the Hampton-Tuskegee Five Million Dollar Endowment Campaign, a non-sectarian enter- prise that is epoch-making in its character, and more far-reaching in its nature, than the average person would realize. At the present time when many of the churches in Phil- adelphia are engaged in building programs and meeting demands made upon’ them by their own de- nominational schools and other- wise, it is all the more significant and commendable that they should be willing to have some part, in this, the biggest single financial effort ever made on behalf of Ne- ro education, Sin'no other city of the United States has this joint campaign re- leeived such co-operation on the pact of the churches without. re- gard te denomination. On. April 1 ‘a number of leading ministers of various denominations, attended a luncheon in the interests of the Hampton-Tuskegee Endownment which resulted in the o pe n- ing of their churches on April 19, for the presentation of the cause lof Negro Education, Outstanding Addresses ‘The program consisted of selec- tions by the Hampton and Tuske- gee Quartettes, followed by ad- ‘dresses by Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute; Rev, Lawrence Fenniger, chaplain of Hampton Institute, and. Mr. Jesse O. Thomas, a field worker for the Urban League. They out- lined the purpose of the Endow- ment Campaign and described the wonderful opportunities for voca- tional and collegiate training that jwill be provided by these Institu- tions for the youth of the race. The conditions of George East- man’s pledge and the amount al- ready secured towards meeting that condition greatly appealed to the pastors and their congrega- tions and stimulated them to con: tribute. George Eastman, of the Eastman Kodak Co., Rochester, N. Y., agrees to give two million dol. Jats if Five Million is raised: ta cash pledges, independent of his gift by December 31, 1925.
