Norfolk Journal and Guide KANSAS COURT UPHOLDS EXCLUSION A decision that a restaurant keeper is not bound by the same requirements as the owners of inns, hotels and boarding houses, or places of entertainment or amusement, in statutes providing that no distinction be made on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude, has been handed down by the Supreme Court of Kansas in the case of the State against Brown, which was the prosecution of a restaurant owner for refusing to serve a colored man. STOPS PREACHER IN MIDST OF SERMON TO ARGUE "POINT" Young Bible Student Interrupts Richmond Pastor To Call For An Explanation of His Statement On Bible. ROBERT A. CRUMP Richmond, Va.—Quite a singular thing occurred at the night services at Sharon Baptist church Sunday, last, when Rev. R. H. Johnson was interrupted in the midst of his sermon by a member of the congregation. It is the usual custom of church goers to sit quietly and listen and accept the gospel, or, at least pretend to do so, while it is being delivered from the pulpit. Jacob Horn, a young Bible student-who is a member of Sharon church gave the pastor a "call down" before his congregation and endeavored to show him that he was preaching false doctrine. According to Mr. Horn's own statement he told the minister that he was preaching a lot of lies. Mr. Horn had listened carefully to the reading of the text and had followed the course of the sermon with grave intent. His sudden outburst, however, while the sermon was at its height rather confused the minister but he attempted to answer his questioner who had already pulled his Bible out of his pocket and began reading what he thought the preacher should have read and explained to his congregation. This, while adding more to the confusion, brought forth at the same time, many "Amens" from different parts of the church. The minister finally finished his discourse and after the service took the young man back into his study where he tried to thrash the subject out to the satisfaction of both. There was a similar occurrence a few months ago when the rector of St. Paul's Episcopal church was interrupted in the middle of his sermon because he spoke in opposition to the Ku Klux Klan. The disturber in that instance was led to the door and was politely knocked down by a member of the congregation. Mortgages Home For A "Gold Brick" "A fool and his money are soon parted," is a saying as old as money itself and contains a germ of truth. This is not saying Mrs. Mary Teacher, of Goldsboro, N. C., was a fool, but she certainly is now a fooled woman, according to reports from that town. This woman placed a $500 mortgage on her home and exchanged the money for a "gold brick." She has the mortgage and the brick and no easy way to rid herself of either. According to the report a smoothed tongue appealing 'gent' called by the home of Mrs. Teacher and talked so engagingly that she invited him not to hurry. He didn't, at that time at least, but evidently has hurried a good deal since. This stranger, who called himself George Williams, went out into Mrs. Teacher's field and dug up a "gold brick." It was worth $75,000, he told the woman. The brick had to be sold to get the $75,000, however, he explained and $500 was required to engage a near friend at Raleigh to do the selling. Mrs. Teacher, of course, was to come in on the bounty found on her property if she kept her mouth shut and would get the necessary $500. The house was mortgaged to get the needed amount. A letter was duly mailed to Raleigh, because the woman saw that done. George Williams, the smoothongued stranger soon followed in the direction of his letter or some other direction not yet ascertained by the woman, or the police. No answer has yet come from Raleigh or George and Mary Teacher is a wiser woman. TAKE SEVEN IN RAID ON GANG OF ALLEGED THIEVES Leot Valued At $100,000 Said To Have Been Made Off By Group Of Burglars Operating In Atlantic City, N. J. ACTIVITIES SAID TO COVER MONTHS Three Norfolk men and a former Norfolk woman were arrested by detectives at Atlantic City, N. J., in their haul of an alleged gang of thieves Monday of last week. The gang was alleged to have made off with a loot valued at $100,000 in the last few months. The Norfolk men arrested were Ollie Washington, Ernest Crowell and Page Obey, according to reports from the seashore resort. Taken in custody with them were Andrew Terry, a reputed political leader, his wife, Barbara, charged with conducting a "fence" where the plunder was disposed, Mrs. Thelma Brown and Mrs. Katherine Eagle, Mrs. Barbara Terry is said to have been formerly of Norfolk, where she is known as Barbara Byrd. All of the group were held pending an investigation, except Ollie Washington, who has returned to this city. carried on this evening. Sweoping down on 202 North Carolina avenue, detectives arrested the gang when they seized a quantity of goods, including a beautiful diamond stick pin, said by the police to be worth $14,000. Other booty included a fur coat, and a trunk filled with watches and jewelry. Police officers declare that this huge cache constituted only a part of the goods stolen in the past few months by a gang of burglars and search is being made for others who may have had a part in the robbery. Following questioning by the detectives Ollie Washington, who explained that he had no connection with the robbery and was in Norfolk at the time it was alleged to have occurred, was released. After Race Police In Texas City The Inter-racial Committee of Houston, Tex., is bending its efforts toward securing from the city administration added civic recognition for the colored people in the form of five Negro policemen the establishment of a senior high school and two junior high schools for colored children. A meeting at which it was decided to ask for this recognition was recently held in the Chamber of Commerce rooms of that city and, it is reported, was attended by a representative group of white and colored leaders, mostly business and professional men. Among the white men present were the former secretary and president of the school board and one of the city's civil service commissioners. The colored group was represented by a number of teachers, ministers and physicists. The fullest freedom of expression was encouraged and committees were appointed to take up with the city administration the matters agreed upon. Editor Love, of the Texas Freeman, a local colored paper, commenting on the meeting says: "The editor observed that the men constituting the committee were honest and sincere in their efforts to get together on a common level, to harmonize their differences, and to stamp out friction wherever and whenever it boils up." (Preston News Service). Okemah, Okla., July 15—Two men were reported killed and several injured in a clash between Negroes and whites at Clearview, seven miles southeast of here, late Wednesday. Reports to the sheriff's office are meager. Deputy sheriff were rushed to the town. DR. MORRIS TO SPEAK HERE MONDAY Dr. Charles S. Morris' talks on "Evolution" are omitted this week but will be resumed in next week's paper. Dr. Morris will be in the city next week and will address the Baptist Ministers' Conference here Monday. NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JULY 18, 1925 Misleading Letter Addressed To Prominent Group by Fanatics On The Question of Racial Integrity. RACE WATCHES NEW ATTACK BY FANATICS Negroes through out the country are watching with deep interest the attempt of leaders of the Anglo-Saxon Clubs of America with headquarters at Richmond, to force Hampton Institute into an unfavorable position and to turn public sentiment against the institution by open appeals to race prejudice. The principal, administrative officers and most of the instructors at Hampton are white. The school is privately endowed. This latest assault on the institute, which is a continuation of the first, takes the form of letters addressed to prominent members of the Southern Hampton-Tuskegee Endowment Fund Committee including the governors of Virginia and North Carolina by Dr. Lawrence T. Price, chairman of the legislative committee of the Anglo-Saxon Clubs, requesting that they withdraw from the committee until Dr. James E. Gregg, president of the institution, publicly announces a policy of strict separation of the races at Hampton. This sinister move against Hampton Institute, which the colored people of Virginia in particular and of America in general find difficult to reconcile with the Anglo-Saxon Clubs' alleged policy of fostering "better race relations," at first came unmasked before the public in editorial utterances of the Newport News Daily Press when that newspaper bitterly assailed the institution. When the attack was brought to the attention of Principal Gregg he wrote the Newport News editor a letter in which he denied that the institution encouraged the mingling of the races in a "romantic nature," and said the institute existed to help the colored people and had tried to be fair to both its white friends and its Negro constituency. This letter drew from the editor a number of questions on how the race issue is handled at the institute and demands for an answer. Dr. Gregg, evidently not feeling inclined to encourage agitation of race issues, has withheld his answer to these questions. An answer that will conform to the views of leaders of the Anglo-Saxon Clubs on the race issue is what John Powell is apparently endeavoring to force from Dr. Gregg through his method of spreading unfavorable propaganda among the members of the endowment committee of Hampton and Tuskegee. Mr. Powell goes so far as to pledge to Dr. Gregg, in case the Newport News editor's questions are "satisfactorily" answered, "the sympathy and support of those Southerners who have a ready proved their friendiness toward Negro education and towards Hampton Institute." But Mr. Powell goes even farther than that and makes his remarks amusing when he says, "I can also assure you of cordial support of the Universal Negro Improvement Association." Marec Garvey is the leader of that movement and is serving a five-year sentence in Atlanta Federal penitentiary. Powell states that both Governor Trinkle of Virginia and Ex-Governor Richard I. Manning of South Carolina have indicated they will take action in regard to the matter. EGYPTS HISTORY 14,000 YEARS OLD A continuous view of successive civilization in Egypt, carried back some 14,000 years, is provided as a result of the discoveries of the British School of Archaeology in Egypt, says Prof. Flinders Petrie, a writer in the London Times. During the last winter, he says, the work of the school was devoted to evacuating the remains of the earliest civilization, known as the Sadarian civilization, so-called from the name of the district which is south of Asyut. Heads Executive Committee of the Postal Auxiliary Mrs. R. J. Salisbury, of this city, who was elected Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Woman's Auxiliary of the National Alliance of Postal Employees at the biennial session of that body in Washington, D. C., July 8-11. POSTAL EMPLOYEES END BIENNIAL MEET, BEST IN HISTORY POSTAL EMPLOYEES END BIENNIAL MEET, BEST IN HISTORY Delegates Representing Every Section Of Country Were In Attendance; Asst. Postmaster General Praises Men The National Alliance of Postal Employees closed one of the most eventful sessions within the history of the organization in Washington Saturday which began Tuesday, July 7, according to reports from the Capital. Delegates representing every section of the country were in attendance. R. A. Willohot, of St. Louis, Mo., was elected president; S. M. Jackson, of Washington, secretary, and Memphis, Tenn., was chosen as the place of meeting for the 1927 convention. The Woman's Auxiliary of the National Alliance held its session simultaneously with that of the men's body. the principal speakers for the occasion were Postmaster General New; First Assistant Postmaster General J. H. Bartlett, Second Assistant Postmaster General Paul Henderson, General Superintendent of Railway Mail Service Riddell, Perry Howard, of the Department of Justice, John D. Gainey, assistant chief clerk-at-large, John Risher and Henry Lincoln Johnson. First Assistant Postmaster General J. H. Bartlett was received with enthusiasm when introduced at the convention. He invited the colored clerks, carriers and railway mail service men to examine the bright side of their employment and to think with optimism of the future. Eight Per Cent Colored Eight Per Cent Colored Mr. Bartlett stated that colored men comprise about 8 per cent of the total of postal employees. There are, he said, 22,000 colored postal employees out of a total of 300,000 none of whom received in salary less than 1,700. Responding to questions, he suggested that the clerk's pension should be $1,200 rather than $720. He also outlined the policy of the departments to give employees as much time off Saturday afternoons as the work would permit. Kindness Bringing About Better Feeling Referring especially to matters of discrimination affecting colored men in the service, he said: "I do not find a general belittling of the colored race in this country any more. You have your traditional troubles, but huw man kindness is fast driving out of the minds of people the distinction of color and race. Each day we see some fellow, of whatever race, who commands the respect of the world. "You have wonderfully preferred positions. But you have, best of all, the pride of knowing that you are working for the best government in the world. You are more than employees. Every one who is a part of the government of the United States is an officer of the country. You should take pride in being trusted by the government as an officer.

Will Make Loans To Approved Going Concerns. MORE CAPITAL ASSURED AS BUSINESS EXPANDS The National Negro Finance Corporation with headquarters at Durham, N. C., is ready for business, according to an announcement made from that city by its secretary-manager W. Gomez last Tuesday. Mr. Gomez stated that $150,000 of the capital stock has been subscribed and $50,000 paid in, it was therefore decided because of the fertile field which awaits the new concern to put the capital thus far paid in to work at once. The officers and stockholders express confidence that ample funds will be available as the corporation expands. Organized Two Years Ago The National Negro Finance Corporation which was organized about two years ago represents a concerted attempt of business and professional men of the race to amass in a gigantic pool available capital of the colored people of America to provide working capital; to seek new opportunities for profitable efforts; to create and develop a market for listing Negro securities; to create a nation-wide spirit of cooperation, and to foster and advance the financial and commercial development of Negroes. It is the outgrowth of an idea put forth by Dr. R. R. Moton, president of Tuskegee Institute, president of the National Negro Business League, at the 1922 annual meeting of the league in Norfolk. Realizing the wonderful possibilities such a project, well organized and conservatively managed held for race development a number of prominent Negro business men immediately gave their approval to the movement and lined themselves up in support of it. A year or later the organization was formed at Durham with Dr. Moton as its president, C. C. Spaulding, president of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, chairman of the executive board and W. Gomez, secretary-manager. In other official capacities and in large the board of directors are a large number of the most successful and substantial Negro business and professional men in the world. Stock Sales A Success Ever since the organization was formed the stock selling campaign has met with steady success, which indicates, it is generally conceded, the national confidence its personnel has on the public, and points to the fact that the race thoroughly appreciates that the concern holds the possibilities of providing unprecedented for development of Negro people of America. Acknowledgement Receipt Of $7.00 Donation The Journal and Guide has received acknowledgement from the Colored United Charities for $7.00 turned over to that organization, the amount being a contribution from St. John's A. M. E. Church to the Walter Blow Fund, but was received after this fund had been closed. Gne-Third Of Bond Issue For Colored Schools Colored citizens of Union City, Tenn., will benefit directly to the extent of $35,000 from the $90,000 bond issue. just authorized. Obion county has decided to set aside that amount for colored school buildings and equipment. During the following 12 months the school authorities plan to erect nine Rosenwald schools. This movement is being promoted by the Interracial Committee, of which the county superintendent of education is chairman. SUBSCRIPTION PRICE $2.00 PER YEAR "A good local paper makes a good local community," says the Spokane Spokesman-Review. "The well-edited paper is a distinct advantage to its community and serves a need that will always exist. It prints the current news of the community, and, with a capable editor, it becomes a real factor in the upbuilding of the community. It can and does accomplish much for the commonwealth. It reflects the character of the community itself. It aids materially in the direction and assistance of all community development, both industrial and educational. It could not survive one year if no need existed or it failed to fill the wants." DEMAND TO SEE GIRL, MET WITH LOAD OF SHOT DEMAND TO SEE GIRL, MET WITH LOAD OF SHOT Young Men Learn To Their Regret: That It Is Decidedly Unsafe To Attempt Caveman Stuff On A Father. Two young men of Statesville, N. C. have learned to their serious regrets that it is not only contrary to all accepted proprieties of courtship but decidedly unsafe to go to the home of a girl and threateningly demand of her father the privilege of seeing her. A little lesson in the proper approach to both the father and daughter cost Arthur Bunch, of Blacksville, S. C., and John Sipes a trip to jail and the hospital one night last week when they in company with two other night adventurers, Raymond Fox and John Fox, went to the home of Dillard Javis at 10:35 o'clock and demanded with threats to see his daughter. Bunch is in the hospital in a serious condition having had his demands answered with a full load of shot in the face, head, neck and breast, fired at close range. Sipes lies wounded in jail. Raymond Fox gave bond of $500 for his appearance in Recorder's Court and John Fox, the only unmarried man in the party, escaped to parts unknown. Mr. Javis lives five miles north of Statesville and the Wilkesboro highway. WOMAN FRATERNAL LEADER IS DEAD Mrs. Agnes Rogers Allen Succumbs To Paralytic Stroke After Suffering For A Month. One of the most prominently known fraternal women of the city was removed in the death of Mrs. Agnes Rogers Allen which occurred at her home, 549 East Brambleton avenue Friday, July 10, following a stroke of paralysis from which she had been a sufferer since June 12, last. Mrs. Allen was the wife of Daniel Allen with whom she lived at her home address. She also enjoyed a large, acquaintance outside of her fraternal connections and was a most respected character. Her funeral was held at Bank Street Baptist Church, of which she was a member, Wednesday afternoon, Rev. C. M. Long, her pastor, officiating. Mrs. Allen was a member of the Past Daughter Rulers' Council, I. B. P. O. E. W., the Progressive Aid Society No. 18, Eastern Star, Arabia Courts, Princess of Absinia and the Beaugrens. She was an active church worker and served faithfully every order of which she was a member. She died at 40 years of age and was a native of Norfolk. Interment was in Calvary cemetery. "Original" Sermons For Sale A certain concern in Chicago now offers "original live up-to-date sermons, neatly typewritten, ready to take into the pulpit, for just a few cents in addition to the cost of typewriting and postage." A fine sermon just prepared might have been procured recently for only $2 and it was guaranteed to "create a sensation in any congregation." "Special prices for standing orders of one to five sermons a month." Why should ministers worry? 7 CENTS At All News Stands and By Carriers SAYS RACE SUFFERS FROM SHORTAGE OF DECENT HOMESITES Federal Council Of Churches Finds That Negroes Do Not Invade White Neighborhood For Social Equality. DESIRE TO ELEVATE LIVING STATUS, MOTIVE "Negro Americans have even more difficulty than other residents in finding suitable places in which to live because prejudice against them operates regardless of culture or financial standing" says the introduction to the report on housing by the Commission on Race Relations of the Federal Council of Churches. Negro families are attempting to move from alleys and congested districts in nearly every part of the country. In some cities where they have moved into neighborhoods tenanted by white residents their new homes have been set on fire in others they have been bombed, declares the report. One of the most surprising incidents in which intimidation was used to force colored people to vacate, the report finds, was that of a white congregation singing, "Onward Christian Soldiers" marching to the home of a highly-educated Negro who was engaged in important educational work. The leader handed the owner of the home a written demand that he leave the neighborhood and waited for his reply. The owner said he would remain where he was. The crowd left, but special police protection was needed for some time before the family felt safe in their home. Suffer From Shortage Explaining why Negroes continue the invasion of the theretofore white districts the report declares it is not because Negroes wish merely to move into white neighborhoods and to have white neighbors, but because they have suffered even more from housing shortage than white persons and are seeking to improve their health and living conditions by leaving the alleys and undesirable districts to which they have generally been expected to confine themselves. The report continues: "Under ordinary conditions other racial and national groups can usually secure housing accommodations in almost any residential area if they can pay for them and maintain the neighborhood standards in other resents. "It has frequently happened, however, that Negro residents have not been permitted to remain unmolested in their own homes even though they kept their property in superior condition and otherwise conducted themselves with entire propriety. Hoodlums have been permitted to break windows and to destroy flowers and shrubbery. Houses have been bombed. Concerted action on the part of supposedly respectable citizens in the way of anonymous warnings of calamities unless the property was vacated, actual physical attacks on members of the family, and destruction of property by fire or other means, threatened or carried out, are measures that have been used to force colored people from homes in neighborhoods where living conditions are desirable. Legal Measures Resorted 10 "Court action has been resorted to. Decision by the United States Supreme Court has made impossible restriction by ordinance of the residence privilege of any part of the population, but groups of property holders have entered into voluntary agreement to exclude Negro residents from property owned or controlled by them, and have brought pressure to bear on neighbors to force them to join in so excluding Negroes. A suit to make impossible this method of abrogating the constitutional right of citizens is now pending before the Supreme Court of the United States. "Frequently the only houses available for colored tenants have been in districts infested with vice or other low moral standards, in spite of the desire of the colored people to provide decent surroundings for their children. Almost always the areas to which they are expected to confine their residence are those least adequately provided with street paving, sewerage and Continued on page Three. iiinn 4 Site igs . a . _ NORE Bie) wm om w lem lke me lle EOD et 2 ‘<= i se é ° 4 : oe , ie Aye : f * za * § or ao ; " ee = Las he - A ps Ams | . ge Pico | ® “al L. 6, el OC \ ae | EDN GESHGS ON SS m AE SNS BS? ae (ON oes DEY 2.

BILLIANT WEDDING AT DURHAM, N. C. Ms Amey Parham Becomes The Bride of Mr. Merritt Holloway, Well Known Nor- folk Man. Durham, N. C.-The residence Mr. and Mrs. T. David Parham, this city last week was the place the scene of one of the most nautiful marriages that has come this city at least since those now can remember. When Mr. and Mrs. Parham gave their nighter, Miss Amey, in marriage Mr. Merritt Holloway, a busi- ness man of Norfolk, Va. those who know Miss Parham, Mrs. Holloway, know her as of the race's finest young ladies with a host of friends and admir- ing among all the people who know her, both old and young, men and men. And the fact that she was apparently happy in event of her marriage caused joy to spread to all her friends. the crowd that witnessed the eest was immensely large—there was no room for them within the adrious residence of her brother's and the porch was crowded to its capacity with anxious and equally appy guests who came to see Miss Parham" for the last time. Within twenty minutes from the home the home was crowded, Dr. M.G. Avant, her pastor, had leg- changed the name of this should young lady to that worn title "beloved." A. B. as to the general appearance and dress there was no end. A friend of this reporter gave the following account of the affair: That the little flower girls were little Misses Catherine Nurse and Edith Amy the flower girls were; little Misses Parham dressed in white organdy. The groomsmen were Messrs. Royster, Monroe and Malone, wearing full dress suits. The bride's malds were Miss Lucile Baker, wearing blue satin crepe trimmed in wreaths of pink roses; Mrs. E. S. Parkman, wearing pink silk crepe and Miss Sadie Hawkins, wearing yellow georgette beautifully lace trimmed. The matron of honor was Mrs. S. Holloway, who wore pale green georgette over pink flesh. Maid of honor, Miss Mattie Woodward, was beautifully gowned in orchid Crepe de Chine with silver lace trimming, silver slippers, orchid veil trimmed in orange blossoms. The bride wore white dove skin satin with lace trimming, silk lace veil trimmed in roses. She looked exquisitely beautiful. The bridesmaids carried a bouquet of sweet peas and ferns; tied with tulle to match their dresses and the bride carried a corsage of bridal roses and ferns. Miss Annie Woodward sang, "Oh Promise Me," and wore white satin crepe. None has ever sung this selection more beautifully than she sang it. Miss Minnie Whitted presided at the piano and wore old rose crepe and she was at her best as she accompanied Miss Woodward with "Oh Promis Me," as well as the wedding march. A canopy of rainbow colors decorated with palms and ferns overshadowed them. Master T. David Parham jr., bore the ring and Master Ward S. Parham carried the train. Rev. Avant performed the ceremony in a very impressive manner. Baby Ella Luelle Parham was baptized by Grandfather M. J. Seabrook immediately following the marriage ceremonies. Out-of-town guests attending the marriage were: Rev. and Mrs. T. G. Hadden, Raleigh, N. C.; Miss Jackson, Rev. and Mrs. M. J. Seabrook, and son, Prof. J. W. Seabrook, of Fayetteville, N. C. The reception and shower was given June 22, at Mrs. Austin's home on Payetteville street. Durham has not witnessed a more beautiful wedding and we wish for this couple a long and most happy life of service to mankind. Miss Parham has been a teacher in the schools of Durham county since coming to this city some few years ago, first as a member of a faculty then as principal of a faculty. Last year she was principal of one of our best schools just outside of the present limits of our city.

Legislatures Inadequate "In many cases no adequate housing legislation has been enacted. In other cases existing legislation does not afford colored tenants the protection it gives to others because it is not enforced for their benefit. Efficient enforcement requires an adequate staff for inspection. Inefficient enforcement is sometimes due to lack of and sometimes to unequal distribution of inspection service, and sometimes to failure to enforce the regulations for other reasons. "In addition to difficulties due to prejudice, the economic limitations of the colored citizens still further restrict their choice of dwellings. As a result of these conditions, at a time when there is a shortage of houses the situation of the Negro population, especially in the cities, is most acute. "Negroes have repeatedly explained that the efforts of colored families to move into 'white neighborhoods' are not due to the fact that they wish to associate with the white people as such, but rather to the fact that usually the only decent housing conditions are in such neighborhoods." Attempts of various kinds have been made by individuals and organizations to meet the different situations and to provide adequate housing for the colored people. Important illustrations of some of these efforts are described in the report to answer the questions of those who want to know what has been done, how it has been done, by whom, and what the result has been. In order to increase their knowledge of cathquakes, some of the world's greatest scientists have experimented with artificial explosions in mines, and they hope that in time they will be able to warn the inhabitants of volcanic districts when disturbances are likely to occur. —The Sunday school of the 1st Baptist Church is growing rapidly.

Senator Walker is the father of the boxing law, as aforesaid and is a staunch supporter of the sport, believing in a square deal to everybody who participates in the game, regardless of color. Senator Walker said that he would not lend his name to the present boxing measure for one moment, if there were any distinction as to race, creed or color. It seems that the Senator has been ired about the things that have been said in connection with the muddled boxing situation. It is believed that all of the ballyhooing is only the silly reformers who have little else to do. According to the news, Senator Jimmy Walker is quoted as having said: "Why not a Dempsey and Wills match? If I thought that there were any racial distinction or prejudices cutting in on the boxing game I would ask that the bill be passed. I have been my stand ever since the inception of the law that bears my name. "I don't think that any law, enacted by the sovereign power of the state—the legislature—can be repealed by the mere prejudices of any fanatics or professional reformers. The vast majority of the people of this State are manifestly for fair play and have no sympathy for the charlatan who makes a living for being against something. "I don't know what the boxing commission is going to do about Dempsey and his challengers, but I do know that the commission is made up of as fine a set of men as could be found in the State. They have administered the law to the satisfaction of every one. Messrs. Farley, Brower, Muldoon and others that make up the board were picked by Gov. McCormack was happy to recommend them be, I were men of intelligence and courage. They are left entirely free, without suggestion from any source that I know of. That is the only way to keep boxing on the high plane it enjoys today. "I personally believe that Kearns and Dempsey ought to fish or cut bait. In other words, Dempsey ought to fight or retire. I have a high personal regard for Dempsey, but I have a higher regard for the boxing fans who support the game. They are entitled to know whether or not we have an active champion of the world. "There has never been any political opposition to a match between Jack Dempsey and Harry Wills that I know of and I would have heard something about it. It is mere projection on the part of some folks who think that principal leaders are afraid of a match because one of the principals happens to be a colored man. I wouldn't hesitate to expose such a situation if it prevailed." Senator Walker is rather firm in his stand and convictions. If there were occasion for trouble in case Wills and Dempsey battled he is, most assuredly one of the persons to know it. It seems that some body such as the little little such between a colored and white man, especially Wills and Dempsey, for fear that the title might change hands. Hubbard To BeIn Exhibition Meet Restaurant Name Service (President News Service) Indiana is July 17—With no little elation, the local grand lodge entertainment committee of the Knights of Pythias, Indiana jurisdiction, has announced the acceptance of behalf of the grand lodge of the Knights Marvel, to appear at their Annual Gala field meet, in this city on July 29th.

He has appeared in every athletic event of the country in the past year, among colleges, and to have him appear in local event is considered no little honor and triumph for Hoosierdom in general and the Knights of Pythias, Indiana jurisdiction, in particular.

Auto Race Fans Looking Toward Indianapolis, Ind. [Provision News Service.] Indianapolis,印洛, July 15—Auto racing fans the country over have turned their eyes towards the big Capitol. "Speed" of America as they make their plans to meet old friends and renew acquaintances at the running of the second annual re-newal of the Gold and Glory Sweepstakes, America's premier 100 mile dirt track championship auto racing classic, to be held here Saturday, August 8th, in which all competing drivers are members of the group. The smaller races staged throughout the country this spring and summer have merely served to whet the appetites of the dyed-in-wool fans for the real display of speed thrills that are out of reach of those who have dwells of the group face the starter's flag at the State Fair Grounds here, with the roar of thousands of speed crazed rining in their ears. Fraternal Visitors To Witness Event The big race this year was moved back a week by the management in order that the hundreds of delegates and visiting friends of the A. U. X. and D. A. one of the largest universities in America, may have the opportunity to witness the running of the big event. Inquiries Pouring In Interest in the big affair is doubled this year, directors of the Indianapolis Colored Speedway say, basing their statement on the numbers of inquiries regarding the race which have been arriving daily at the office. 101% Michigan St., Indianapolis, has been a story of the race plans a week ago. They further base their faith in the permanence of the race as an annual institution on the great amount of activity among auto builders and drivers throughout the Middle West. Ready a local young man of the group has completed and is in readiness to try out his car, built especially for this race, while another resident of the eastern section of the city will be ready for the first tryout in a few days. Thompson Beats Champ Holmes Finalists in Last National Tournament Again Battle In Finals of Washington District Championships. Washington, D. C.—Youth was served here in the recent Washington district championships held on the Walker Tennis Club courts. The youthful college star and second ranking player, finalist in the last national tournament and member of the national doubles championship team, Ted Thompson, conquered the present champ, Tally Holmes, in a fast four set match, 5-7, 6-4, 8-6, 6-2. The victory makes Thompson champion of the Washington district. Holmes had just defeated Allan Waddle,ridge ranking player in the present-finals, and the strenuousness of the game had its effect upon him, Ted winning three straight sets after dropping the first, set 5-7. Bordentown Stars Here Several tennis stars of Bordentown, N. J., headed by Lester Granger, came to Washington, Sunday, July 12, to play a special engagement with the stars of the Walker Tennis Club. The Bordentown players were scheduled to play in Baltimore on the 11th and took advantage of this occasion to come here to meet the local stars.

They were beaten Monday at the Norfolk and Western R. R. Park in Lambert's Point by a score of 6 to 2. A large crowd of fans witnessed the affair. Palmer was in tip top shape, and his mound duty for the Elks was very acceptable. His ability kept the hits well scattered for Lambert's Point Slides.

Scoring 35 strikeouts in a single afternoon is just one of the feats credited to "Smoky" Joe Williams, regular member of the famous Homestead Grays of Pittsburgh. Besides this Williams' blinding speed and his general effectiveness have earned for him recognition as one of the greatest, if not the greatest pitcher to toe the rubber on a baseball diamond. In that afternoon when "Smoky" Joe Williams scored 15 strikeouts he started the first game, winning by a comfortable margin and registering 18 strikeouts. Then he was called upon as a player the second of the next game he shifted 17 more for his grand total of 35. These and other facts are called from Williams later history on the diamond, according to a writer in the Pittsburgh American, who gives his early history as well.

Bebe's real purpose, however, is to be near Harlan, who has cultured. She entertains the soldiers in the front line trenches, goes through a gas attack and makes a wild ride on a motorcycle in an effort to save Harlan, who has gone to destroy hine in nine innings for a semi-rec record.

Miss Sadye Margaret Spencer who died July 5th, 1925, was a native of Norfolk, attended the public schools, finishing from the S. C. Armstrong School in June 1915, with honorable mention. She then entered the Dunbar High School. Washington, D. C., finishing from that institution in June 1919, winning the reputation of being an excellent student. Having a desire for higher training she matriculated at Howard University. College of Arts and Sciences. Owing to illness she was compelled to return home to recuperate. She was employed as an instructor in the English Department of the Junior High School of Norfolk filling this important post with credit. It was while serving in this capacity that Miss Spencer's labors were terminated. She her mother suffering with patience, neverce complaining and the end came peacefully in the hospital, surrounded by the members of her family. She was a young woman of unusual brilliance and greatly beloved by a large circle for friends. Having lived a little more than twenty-two years, hers was a life of service, and as an ideal Christian smiling under all adversities, she has passed away. The form of Sadie Spence has found its final testing place in the grave, but the soul returneth to its Maker, and the character of this young woman has passed unto the ages.

Plans for the Sunday School parade; report on progress of Sunday School contest; plans for bi-monthly meeting and such other business that may come before the body will be enacted.

Through this contest the general average and spirit has been maintained. Bethany Presbyterian school is inhaling the spirit of the contest. It seemed that Bethany was asleep. This week Bethany arose took in plenty of fresh air and reported 15 cents per capita with 54 per cent of attendance. This is a record for Bethany.

Zion Acquires Splendid Addition In This New Building Tuesday, June 30, Garrett's C. M. E. Temple formally became Garrett's A. M. E. Zion Temple, having passed through a change of denominational affiliations. With to ironing out of a few legal phases in connection with the transfer which will be accomplished soon, this fine church edifice becomes the property of the Zion denomination which is steadily increasing its holdings, extending its denominational lines and project its evangelization program into every section of the country. The acquisition of Garrett's Temple is regarded as a very substantial addition for Zion. This is a splendid church building and is practically new and occupying a valuable site. It was founded and built in 1920 by its present pastor, Dr. R. K. D. Garrett, who, too, becomes an A. M. E. Zion minister. The edifice and grounds represented a total cost of $55,000 when built, and has a membership of 250. Dr. Garrett and his congregation have been vital factors in the religious life of this city. The church enjoys prominence and the pastor a wide acquaintance of friends and admirers. His fiery and profound sermons have been heard by thousands of people of Norfolk and adjacent communities. Garrett's Temple is now in the District over which Bishop G. L. Blackwell of Philadelphia, and Presiding Elder W. M. Lyons, preside. Miss Lucille Bumperus, of 963 Barney street, is recuperating from an operation she underwent in the Tidewater Hospital and is expecting to be home soon. SICK NOTICE.

We ‘have come to the conclusion’ that they have been satisfied with the clean cut dressing down adminis- tered to this old man by Joe Bibb, editor of the Chicago Whip, some months ago and s0 they have doubtless decided to leave ole Ben alone in com- miseration of his senile but crafty decrepitude. “He says ‘we believe thor- oughly in the Southern idea of every race staying in its place socially.” “The white people among whom old Ben lives have: sue- ceeded in convincing this old war relie that his race has its place atid an inferior one at that.

By the same token, Gov. Al Smith has handled the State, and is, equally popolar with the race. It has not been’ determined how this division ill be made in “following the leader.” “On the Other Hand, the Republican Party” On the other hand, the Republi- ean party has played more with Sentiment and indifference than it has with pructical polities, Its organization, like the organization in national polities, has been loose Knit. There has heen very Tittle done ina tangible way to whieh the. politicians may “point with pride.” ‘The leaders have held themselves aloof, exeept in here und there personal instances.

True, he backed Charles W.

But, the Republican party, head- ed by President Coolidge and Sen- ator Butler, of Massachusetts, needs Wadsworth in the Senate. All the influence of the adminis- tration and the national organiza- ‘tion will be thrown behind him for retaining the seat. The mayor- ality of New York is the first bat- tie; with Gov.

Dr. Gresham said the colored people paid off the debt on Manusah State, and it is hoped that State will take over the institution and make it a State Normal School to help train some of 300 colored teachers who are for Virginia schools.

In this State school terms are never as city school terms and the leaders of rural schools generalize far less than the salary of their co-workers in the urban fields.

There is nothing in the way of early education in the South to expect money, declared Dr. W. R.

The average has been increased, and the fields are annually well worked and are generally free from grass. The stand, however, is only 85 to 90 per cent perfect because of an favorable weather at planting. The peanut acreage is estimated to be 135,000 acres which is an increase of 18 per cent above the area harvested in 1924. The reason given for the larger acreage this year are favorable prices for last year's crop, excellent weather last spring for plowing, and decrease in cotton. Last year many fields were never-planted. Bears of wet weather, so the hainu nuts were less than usual. The span type of peanut is reported to be slightly less than last year, and the counties of Dinwiddie Greenville, and Prince George, which produce the greater part of this variety, have either reduced the total acreage or planted more of Virginia types. The condition of peanuts on July 1 was 85 per cent of normal, compared with 71 per cent last year. This condition indicates a production of 109,012,000 pounds, compared with 74,100,000 pounds produced last year. The season has been favorable for the growth of this crop, as rains have generally come when needed but not too frequently to interfere with cultivation.

FARMERS TOLD TO OWN LAND AND ROTATE THEIR CROPS Garden Cultivation, Home Industries Ad Improvement of Rural Life Objects Outlined For Better Farming. When the agricultural workers representing some 22,000 Negro farm families in Virginia, North Carolina and Maryland met in the annual Hampton Institute Farmers' Conference recently they received inspiration and information of a practical value which doubtlessly be reflected in still greatly important investments on the farms in those states. Speakers of national reputations addressed the gathering including, Dr. James Hardy Dillard, President of the Jeanes and Slater Boards; W. P. Moore, assistant State Director, Extension service from Virginia Polytechnic Institute; Miss Edith Allen, specialist in Agriculture Education, United States Department of Agriculture; Gordon A. Elean, assistant State Club Agent, Virginia Polytechnic Institute; Mrs. M. M. Davis, State Agent, Cooperative Extension Work in Home Economics; Jessie Hoover, specialist in milk utilization; Miss Olivia Well, Field Agent, Southern Division of Extension Work, United States Department of Agriculture and a number of Virginia, North Carolina and Maryland State agents and educators. This group of representative agriculturists were told by Dr. Dillard that every man who tills the soil ought to own the soil he tills. "The finest and most independent human being," he said, "is the small farmer who tills his own acres." Dr. J. E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, said: "To the farmer should stand for something different from the business man. He should never sink his service into the mere ambition to make money. He should belong to the profession of service. He should be ready to produce, not for mere personal gain, but to fulfill low-men's institution was designed for the ideal of unselfish farmers. Farmers, teachers, and ministers are fellow-workers for humanity." Mrs. M. M. Davis, in her address on "Self-support through Home-demonstration Work in Virginia," discussed the case of one woman who in a single year had had to walk 221 miles for a manger water supply and during that time had to walk 4,750 pounds of water. When these facts were brought to the attention of her husband he put in a home water-supply system at a cost of $30. Mrs. Davis also made a vigorous appeal for the introduction through the country districts of a good milk supply in order that the manger supply of adulthood food. Mrs. Davis also made a plea for the cultivations of year-round gardens. Talks On Home Industries Miss Powell outlined what is being done in the Southern states to establish home industries. She showed the products of rural women and girls who have learned to standardize the canning of fruits to meet the commercial demands. These home products include those which come from the family cow, the garden, the orchard, and the poultry yard. She showed what is being done by women and girls who have learned to convert white honeycuckle basket and standard sweet-pet basket, and pine needles into attractive candy bushes. She also exhibited articles which had been made from so-called ulexes bides on the farm. These articles included attractive hats, gloves and gloves. Gordon A. Elean outlined the five-year program for Virginia agriculture—a program that has been formulated on the findings of 11 committees representing 34 State organizations. The Virginia program calls for more economical methods of production, better Warni When you ask for rations—be sure the wrong package—just because the original Dr. FREED proven their men are getting the Whitener Prepa TUTE.

It is to be made known that the fourteen days before the estimated date of release of the State Department of Public Health may "take very measures to protect others from such infection." It has been generally accepted by the various states, says the U. S. Public Health Service, that provision should be made for the medical examination, care and treatment of venereally afflicted inmates of state institutions, and that a show animation, and treatment are provided. The Maine a mendment, requiring the report of infectious cases before their release, is a significant venereal disease control measure. PLYMOUTH Plymouth, N. C.—Rev. R. H.

HUNDREDS APPLY TO SING LEADING ROLE IN "AIDA" Noted Grand Opera Singer Gives Opportunity To Negro Soprano To Appear In Grand Opera In New York. An opportunity, heretofore unparalleled, has been offered the Negra race to break into grand opera, according to an announcement carried in recent issues of New York papers, in which it is stated that Edwardo Ferrari-Fontana, who won fame overnight in the Metropolitan Opera House when he sang in the opera "L Amore die tre re," is looking for a Negro soprana to train to sing the leading role in the opera "Aida," through the Amsterdam News. Hundreds of enthusiastic students have sent in their application. Some applicants have written letters, expressing their appreciation of the opportunity. Mr. Fontana was born in Rome in 1878. His uncle was Ettore, the sculptor, and his father, a noted physician. After going thru the lower school, the gymnas and the lycee, Fontana attended the University of Rome and took up the medical course, intending to go to the University of Paris. He went there for three years and then spent another year in the Hospital of San Giancione, where his father was connected. An Artist By Chance After a most thrilling account of adventures in South America, comes the tale of how he came to sing in America. St was almost an accident. Mr. Ferrari-Pontanak was a famous States for the purpose of visiting his wife, Mme. Margarete Matzenauer, a contralto of the Metropolitan Opera Company. During his two years' service at the consultate in Montevideo, he had begun to take singing seriously, cultivating his voice and singing at private parties as an amateur. He had made his first public appearance before an audience in Rio Janeiro in 1901, where he was greatly praised. But when he came to New York, he found such thing in his mind as singing in New York. He just happened to be available when Mr. Russell was scouring the country for a tenor to sing in "Tristan." To be brief, the career of Ferrari-Fontana reads somewhat like this—He made his debut at the Tecno Regio of Turin in the year 1900 with "Tristano." He sang later on the best stages of Italy, and in 1903 he two at the Dal Verna of Milano, three at the Regio of Turin, two at the San Carlo of Naples, two at the commune of Bologna. Leaving Italy for America, he sang two seasons, in Buenos Aires; two at Boston, two at Chicago and two at New York. In the first four years of his career he gave about eighty recitals of "Tristano" and seventy of "Tambucco." He gave many first interruptions of new operas such as "Giulia" by the Golden Gate at the Bologna, "Laura," by Zanella at Bologna, and "L'Amore due te re" at La Seala. Mrs. Alice P. Read, a wealthy colored woman with extensive realty holdings in New York City, has volunteered incidental funds necessary to take advantage of the re-employment benefits she will be tried but separately by competent voice culturers before being passed on to Mr. Fontana for his final decision. Preliminary try-outs have begun in the Harlem Branch of the New York Public Library. If Mr. Fontana finalizes his application in getting it in the metropolitan Opera House, it will be the first time a Negro has ever been heard there. South and Close Connect HowardStudy FacultySha Dismissed Instructor of Idea," In Dropping tent; And Alleges G Case; Appeals To Th Close Connection Between HowardStudent Revolt And Faculty Shake-Up Alleged Dismissed Instructor Charges "Economy Idea," In Dropping Professors Inconsistent; And Alleges Gross Unfairness In His Case; Appeals To The Public. Orlando Cecil Thornton, former instructor in finance and business organization, School of Commerce, Howard University, who, along with a number of other professors, was dropped from the teaching program the recent shake-up at Howard University, has issued to the press a detailed statement calling attention to alleged unfairness of his dismissal. He also charges that the summary severance of his connection with the school was contrary to Government policy regarding employment of ex-service men, Mr. Thornton served with the 351st Field Artillery overseas), and declares that he was an expected official by the ad valentive officials for extricating themselves from a delicate situation precipitated by their own blundering. Mr. Thornton's statement bolsters the opinion held by a large section of the public that the recent Howard shake-up had a close connection with the student revolt which preceded it by only a few weeks than administrative officials of the University have showed inclination to admit. Immune to co-operation among all classes of co-operation between the faculty and president and domineering by the latter. Efficiency and Economy Boo-hooed The dismissed instructor virtually explodes the assertion made by the board of trustees in a lengthy statement following the shake-up in which they claimed the re-organization was based on greater efficiency and the promotion of economy, following recommendations made by a Columbia University expert, who conducted an exhaustive survey of Howard. He calls attention to the salary increases of deans which, he says, entirely offset the salary increases that might have resulted from his dismissal. Mr. Thornton says: "I have been teaching accountancy and allied subjects at the Howard University for a period of five (5) years, my subjects being along the line of my special preparation. I have done such work as to elicit enthusiastic and favorable comment each year from both faculty members and student-body alike. And now I am notified that I am to be unceremoniously dropped from my position allegedly because I desire to become a faculty member, as seem to think that the reason advanced is merely a subterfuge which cannot be supported by the facts in any way whatsoever, one notable instance to refute the alleged reason being that my salary from 1920 to this year remained at $1500 per annum, and was accidentally increased by $50 this year as a result of the insti tence of the com bined faculty, for a long time, for some consideration in this regard, until this week the salaries of some professors have been considerably increased to say nothing of the increase from $1000 to $3500 in each of the cases of 6 or 7 deans, the fallacy in the reason (economy) given will at once be appreciated. One professor, as example, received an increase of $400, so I am reliably informed, because of his/her clever disposition, etc. But I am casting no reflection upon the individual; I merely want to show the inconsistency of the matter, for drawing me, except that, perhaps, it is desired to increase salaries to bear by influential members of the faculty, and, ostensibly, the only way to increase certain salaries is to "let somebody out." Meeting of Trustees Referring to the meeting of the Board of Trustees on June 2nd, when the re-organization program was mapped out, Mr. Thornton says it was a "memorable meeting". Some of the trustees who were said not to be going along with the additional deadlock, failed of the decision he instigated. In the motions, which had been passed by the board to the detriment of certain faculty members leaked out before being officially confirmed, he charges, and names the following members of the faculty as having involved: "Dean Kelly Miller, it was reported, lost his Deanship of the Junior College on the grounds that the Junior College Work overlapped that of the School of Liberal Arts; lost his Professorship of Sociology, and was to be placed by office of the President to raise endowment. His Professorship is said to have been of the one who had been his subordinate. "Dean George William Cook, for fifty (50) years intimately connected with the academic and of official life of the University, it was further reported, lost his Deanship, that being based on the recent action of the Trustees to receive teachers at the age of 62 years, his work in the School of Cumerlee and Finance, merged with that of the College of Liberal Arts, as result of a so-called survey of an educational expert from Columbia University. "These' two men, particularly have never entered into the good graces of the present-administra rition, it seems. These were 'tole songs'. Then there were "Prof. Alain Leroy Locke, probably the best prepared teacher along his line in the University from the standpoint of his graduate and undergraduate work. A. B. and Ph. D., from Harvard University, Litt. B., from Oxford England, the only Negro Rhodes scholar. "Prof. Alonze H. Brown, teacher of mathematics, and Assistant Professor Leroy Lockard, teacher of African languages. Plans Leaked Out Plans Leaked Out "Now let me emphasize that these Last Three men, it was really and understood, were dropped for having had too much sympathy with the students; they were not student students. The information, although denied, is appealing nevertheless. "Now, you see the plans seem to have leaked out' prematurely; the teachers involved—at least some of them I definitely know, put their wits to work, and the influential ones were able to bring sufficient puerasure to bear to cause a denial of the purported action of the Trustees. The counted aroused, the president clamped, and the admin said to be not the representative group, though it is hard to believe) demanded the resignation of Dr. Durkice as president of the University, and the restoration of the men slated to go. Well, here is what happened after all, and which is said to be the official action, the only action contemplated. (The fallacy of the denials is pretty general, the矣es 15th, the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees issued a statement which in substance is this: "Denn George W. Cooke, made Dean Ementus with a salary increase from $310 to $3500, given one year's notice of his retirement. 'Dean Kelly Miller retained his Professorship in Sociology, but lost the Deanship of the Junior College on the grounds of its abolition. This salary was increased from $310 to $3500. It is generally believed this is a punishment of his role to vaccinate. 'Professors Locke, Brown, Lochal and (as a substitute) Thorn, were dragged from the University on the purported grounds of Economy. "Now Thornton's name caused distinct surprise to everybody, as he had not entered into any quarrels his work was considered efficient, he had strenuously supported the faculty and the administration during the recent strike, and his work was a prime essential in the education of the students with no teacher at the University being prepared to take over his work, and one refusing to try it. Referring to himself, Mr. Thornton says: "I dislike very, very seriously!being "I should treat at a time when there is expressed hereabout some doubt of the loyalty of a few teachers to the administration. While I am definitely made to understand that my case is a 'clean one'; that there is no imputation of disloyalty, certainly the public will not understand, and I would naturally be classed as a malcontent, and I would be treated with disgust when the 'shake-up' at Howard is due, in a large measure, to so-called administration enemies. I fear that I shall be unable to bear up under the disgrace of that! "It seems clear, therefore, that I was not among those who were stated to go AT FIRST; they were composed of the so-called administration enemies. But they, in several instances, were fortunate enough to be able to bring sufficient pressure to bear, with the result that the plans to be rid of them placed, at least for the time being. "My career will be ruined, I fear, if this atrocity (dropping me without any logical reason) is allowed to stand. It seems though I had to be substituted for others who could not be dropped, that most likely I could be dropped with impunity, in spite of the fact that everywhere World War Veterans, if interested in them, are given preference at time like that. Such a calamity will be a terrible experience for my wife to hear; and I think of her especially in this 'hour of trial'. "It is definitely known that Dr. Durkee bakes, to a large degree, action on the announced economy plan of President Coolidge; and the practice which is now pervading the several Government Departments. This plea falls short for two outstanding reasons, which are: (1) President Coolidge's economy policy includes a commitment to the proposition that where dropping is necessary, the cases of World War Veterans who are efficient; shall be given first consid- eration; the Durkee is committed to the statement that Thornton is very efficient, that no charge is brought against him. (2) The administration seems not to be practicing economy, in that, it is just now increasing the salaries of 6 or 7 or more deans from $3100 to $3500, increasing salaries of professors—in one case much more—the increase to the deans. While Thornton's salary was the insignificant amount of $1550, which. If paid, relatively speaking would not be felt. The former instructor sets out in detail the work of his department over a period of five years. He marshals figures to show that the number of students enrolled in his class was representative, this in refutation of the Columbia University expert's contention, "that there are not enough students at the present time interested in these fields to justify the development of the school (meaning School of Commerce and Finance, which recommends be merged with the College of Liberal Arts), Mr. Thornton mentions, that even though the expert said, that even though merged, the students would be given the same opportunity to specialize that they now have." "To curtail the work is to deny them what he recommends, in face of the fact that this recommendation was adopted by the board," asserts the former instructor. Referring to his record at the University, he says, "President Durke has expressed time and again verbally and in writing that Thornton's services were highly efficient, and yet in face of the expert's observation that there is scarcity of this type of teacher, the fact is that one of these teachers received his diploma misissi June 17. It has been reliably reported that the statement was made, a teacher that if it were not Thornton, somebody had to be trapped." Mr. Thornton also gives out a copy of a letter which he addressed to a member of the Board of Trustees calling attention to Thornton's case and asking a review. The answer, the former instructor, declares, indicates how powerful is the dominance in the board. This teacherDurke tells Mr. Thornton that he is in full agreement with the action of the university authorities. In issuing his statement, Mr. Thornton frankly admits that this is his 'hour of trial' and seemingly he is in a defensesless manner. He demands a correcting 'of the alleged wrongs inflicted upon him.'

The work on this church almost in its entirety, from the arehitecture down to the remov- ling of the debris was and is being \done by Negroes. All of this great building work at an enor- mous cost has been undertaken in fone year under the able adminis- tration and direction of Dr. A. W. Brown, pastor of the chureh. Rev. Brown is a man of broad vision and tremendous executive ability, which he has so clearly demon- strated in the year that he has been here.

Walk Miller who has so suecgss- fully directed the affairs of the.fa- mous “Tiger” and many other eol- ored fighters of note signed "Sun- ny Jim” to a five year contract immediately on his arrival in the Big City. Miller says he feels con- fident that in Flowers and Wil- liams, he has the two best middle- weights in the world today. Tt is possible one of Walk’s friends: on the Coast tipped him off as to the ability of Williams, and the astute lite manager had a motive in signing “Sunny Jim" and keeping him under the same direction with Flowers, Be that as it may, this fellow Williams will bear wateh- ing in the future, He is sure to tive all of the present day middie and lightweights a tough argument for leading: honors. “Sunny Jim” has fought in fea ‘ture attractions at the Dreamland ‘Club, Doyle's Vernon Club, Madi- son Square Gardens at Los Ange- jles, and at Portland, Ohio.

Billy “Conley, Battling Ortega, Steve Dalton, Ray Pelkey, Frankie Murphy,” Bert Collin and many others have dropped decisions to Williams. He knocked out the sensational Gordon McKay in two rounds, which so far as is known, was the only tinie this fighter had ever been knocked out. “Sunny Jim” is aggressive and ulways makes the fight an interest- ing one, he never stalls or uses any taetics that would tend to slow up 2 mateh, and should immediately become a prime favorite with the cash ‘customers in this territory, Where the fans always follow a fighter who fights.

The anniversary edition of the In- dependent ought to be filed away by these in whose hands it shall fall as part of a treasured record of contemporary race his- tory to be preserved for the guidance of future compilers on Negro Life in America. Understanding, us experience has taught us, the mammoth task that confronts the av- evage race newspaper when it steps out of the routine and uttempts to do something big, we uppreciate the vast amount of work the staff of the Independent has bad to ae complish to put this edition in the hands of its readers. ‘The work, however, us repre- sented in the finished product wus worthy of its performance, und it bespeaks unmistak- ably the steady progress the Ludependent has and is making in the hands of its able editor and his assistants, Motors On Ferries Motorists should pay special heed to the warning recently given by the Commissioner of Navigation of the United States Depart- ment of Commerce relative to the handling of automobile engines on ferry boats. ‘The Commissioner warns that unless au- tofsts shut off their motors while on ferries and similar crossings they will be liable to a fine undey the Federal law, up to $500, “and their automobiles shall be linble for the fine.” Previous to the lust session of Con- gress, when the statute was changed, the law upplied to ferry owners. They pleaded in- ability to enforce it and asu result Congress placed the responsibility on the autoists. All fires must be extinguished in the auto and its motor stopped immediately after the machine has tuken its position on the vessel, and the motor must remain idle until the boat is made fust to its landing, ‘The law is very explicit on this subject, and even inadvertent violation may get the uutomobile driver into nd little trouble. Jt is eusy to imagine how a day's outing may be spoiled, other unnecessary expense and . inconveniences encountered by the motorists “who disregard this law even for a brief moment in the presence of. an aggressive of- ficer.

Before the blood tingle, which Daniels’ act gave that great body of Amer- icans who are thrilled by individual daring had time to subside, a nine-year-old girl of Hagerstown, Md,, thought quickly and in- telligently enough to improvise a flag und wave down a passenger train in time to avert an impending wreck. Her heroism undoubtedly saved the lives of another score or more persons. + The heroes and heroine were lowly in- dividuals and members of the Negro race. The beneficiaries of their heroism were white, wealthy and influential. But the race of those heroes and heroine had noth- ing to do with their acts. The fact is, race is such an insignificant factor in the realm of human aceomplishments that really there is no need of referring to it here, except in refutation of the opinion held by certain people that daring, courage, instant thinking and acting recognize racial limitations. These individuals were instinetively im- pelled by that touch of nature which makes the whole world kin, And being impelled, they suceeeded because they possessed the in- nate capacity, like other normal humans, to face emergencies and rise to greatness. To Spread Negro Literature In Europ ‘Those fifty white women, prominent so- cial service workers of Chieago, who have planned to distribute in Europe literature on Negro progress in America at the con- vention of the World Federation of Educa- tion Associations this summer have struck upon an idea that is fraught with the possi- bilities of rendering iricaleulable service to the whole wonld As a race we will be compelled to feel elated and diply apprecistive of their ef- forts in our behalf, but the good that is certain to follow the carrying out of their Plans is too great, tuo far-reaching to be compremended merely as a race benefit. Any plan whatsoever that contemplates the softening of racial and world distrust, ha- treds and misundeustandings comprehends world benefits, It is an old and more or less truthful saying that bad news travels doubly as, fast a good news and always gets the first start. But it is also a truism that truth, once started on its way, is never again caged but goes on and on gradually reforming the world and world conditions. Unfavorable Propaganda and unmitiguted falsehoods con- cerning the American Negro have been car- ried to Europe, very likely, ever since the first American touched foot on foreign shores. With the increase of ocean travel the carrying of that stuff has become ac- celerated. Occasionally the light of truth has blazoned across the Atluntic and has served to cause race prejudice to grow in the.Old World with « slackened pace. These Chicago women are going to make a sys- tematic and organized attempt to spread the truth over there. To Miss Holbrook, who is to do the distributing, we bid God's speed, und say to her that her mission approaches the Divine.

Of all the states concerned with the del- ‘cate race problem, Virginia is at present oceupying the conspicuous and unenviable position of being the seat of an organized and apparently determined movement to negative and to destroy all that is being done in the State and elsewhere to bring about a peaceful and satisfactory adjust- ment of conditions, And all because of the fanatical notions of a small group of men who have conceived the idea—if they are really sincere—that the white race in Amer- ‘iea must be saved from absorption by those of African and Indian. descent! The men who are most active in this strange, organized movement to wreck amicable vace relations in Virginia und in the South are: John Powell, » professional pianist; Dr, Lawrence T. Price, a physician; Dr. W. A. Plecker, State Registrar of Vital Statistics; Earnest S. Cox, a disciple of Marcus Garvey, all of Richmond; and W. S. Copeland, editor of a Newport News ddily newspaper. They are the authors and sponsors of the Anglo-Saxon Clubs move- ment, and tiey have launchéd a vicious and maligious broadside against the affiliation of white people in any personal capacity with Negro educational or social welfare work. ‘Their Intest move was to formally ‘request twenty outstanding Southerners, in- cluding Governor Trinkle of Virginia and Governor MeLean of North Carolina, to withdraw from the Hampton-Tuskegee en- dowment fund committee, because, they al- lege, “social equality is taught and practiced at Hampton,” a charge both impudent and infamous in its spirit and motive. Even during the days of slavery there were social contacts between master and slave. General Robt. E.-Lee, the ido! of the South, and General Stonewall Jackson taught colored people how to read the Bible and instructed them in religious precepts. Thousands of Southerners of pure Anglo- Saxon blood emulated the ideals and ex- amples of Lee and Jackson, John Powell and his misguided followers could learn something to their own benefit, by studying the experiences of some of these Southern- ers in their relations with colored people. | Health And.

Odum, Ph, D., of the University of North Carolina, has the merit of frankness in dealing with the conditions whieh are responsible for the South's present lack in leadership of the first order.” ‘fhe book is intro spective in looking at these con- ditions and seeks with ingisive u- nalysis to lay bare the causes of the South’s want of leaders of distinetion. Mr. Odum constantly wields the lash in arousing his com- patriots to a sense of needed newer thought if the “self-im- posed impassable barriers” ob- structing the progress of the South, are to be removed to give place to the creation of situa- tions favorable to the achieve- ment, the distinction, the devel- opment of Southern talent. That this is possible and partakes of, the nature of a ‘Southern promise of the turning of Southern po- tential power into national pow- er is clearly indicated by Prof. Odum in his selection of the stories of Southern pioneers with which his work is supplemented. ‘Among the pioneers thus se lected for the purpose of emphu- sizing his views is the name of Booker T. Washington, whom he includes along with Woodrow Wilson, Walter Hines Page, Joel Chandler Harris, and others as representatives and leaders of the new thought awakening tak- ing place throughout the South today. ‘The writer goes on to infer that the Southern men who have risen to the heights of eminence have had their pushing force from sections outside the South. Just before making this infer- ence, hie observes “Even in. re- ligion and morality, for which we claim so much, we have been poor in the fruits of social right- vousness, justice und the essence of Christianity. ‘The religion that boasts much, complains con- tinuously, seeks motes in the ‘other peuple’s eyes, klans togeth- er for persecution, mobs the weak, has little respect for truth, is selfishly self-centered, is emo- tionally and lazily inelined to- ward the easiest way, would hardly be expected to produce distinguished creative contribu- tions in any field, So long as the majority of leaders and the great group of followers are rich in that spirit of self-right- eousness, of sensitive antagonism toward things not our own way of thinking, so long will the South be thrice not blessed.” Language like tie above can come only from one who is deep- ly in earnest about the welfare of his native land and who has the power of insight into her shortcomings. Again the writer calls atten- tion to the influence of Northern and Western universities upon professional folks of the South and decries the withholding of “the means and stimulus for dis- tinguished effort and service” ‘on the part of the South. Dr. Odum points out the sig- nificance of two viewpoints in dealing with situations which a- rise in the South. For example, the view taken by a Southern denominational leader in cam- paigning for financial support for “the South’s greatest Uni- versity” in which he says that the South “must endow and equip its own institutions of Jearning, and then by the most watchful cave keep them clear of liberalism and liberalists, ‘This is a high and holy obligation which the South owes the great Republic of which it is so im- portant a part.” Contrasted with this is President Wilson's utterance: “University spirit is intolerant of all things that put the human mind under restraint. it is intolerant of everything that seeks to retard the advance- ment of ideals, the acceptance of truth, the purification of life,” which statement, Prof. Odum thinks is the proper view, if per- sons are inclined to think in terms not of a narrow section- alism. The author does not believe in the defense mechanisms repeat- to that. revolution taking place which in due time is compelled to change the face of the Southland. ‘The constructive criticisms given’ in the volume are thought- fully presented and it should be carefully read by every one who yearns to see this great section tuke her place nationally, and who ‘by. reason of the author's vivid presentation of manifest shortcomings may be stirred to new endeavor in the great work of her advancement, —Wawrer Jeremiast Scort —_— Racial Issues In Current - Literature by DANIEL W. CHASE. The Basis of Racial Adjust: ment, The Menace of Color and Races, ‘Nations and (lasses are three recent publications dealing with, problems of race assimila- tion in the United States. ‘The ‘Basis of Racial Adjust- ment is by ‘Thomas’ Jackson Woofter ir, Ph. D., who points out that there is no real race problem involved, the only thing necessary heing to teach the two races howto live cooperatively and harmoniously. Dr. Woofter states that since the Civil War much has been done toward bringing about real cooperation between the races, and much more needs to be done. Educa- tion has made the colored peo- ple less dependent upon the white man, and the author states that as the facilities inerease for fit- ting the colored man to be able to care for himself more, race relationships will be better. He does not believe in, nor does he sve any danger in amalgamation, and it is his opinion that misceg- enation is on the decrease, neith- ev race desiring it. The - book will serve well as u textbook for those interested in how the races are to dwell together and certain other questions uffecting our social conditions, SRSA OBES See ee our social conditions. “Races Nations and Classes” by Herbert Adolphus Miller, is a fairly. human treatment of the color question. He gives some ugly facts, but he states them in a way xs ¢not to arouse group prejudice, He has timely illus- trations from ‘current history, dealing with the Jews in Poland, as well as throughout the world, the.Poles in Germany, the Bohe- mians in Austria, the Koreans in their relation to Japan; the Ne- gro in Afvica and America, in relation to the civilization of the white man. The Mohammedan and the Christian, the Catholic and the Protestant, the capitalist and the laborer, al] fnd a place in Dr, Miller’s Conflicts of Race, Nations and Classes, He be- lieves that the Jew has a three- fold mission: the fostering of cultural idealism, of economic re- organization along international lines and of humanitarian ten- dencies of world-wide scope. The book ix recommended for the reading table for it is both in- teresting and illuminating, It is from the press of the J. B. Lippincott company. Dr. J. W. Gregory, F. R. S., D, Se., really sees “The Menace of Color,” and declares that the migration of Southern Negroes to Northern centers will make stich a scarcity of labor in the South that it will become neces- sary to import ‘cheap’ white la- borers from Europe. He says that those coming from certain places along the Mediterranean Sea, where there is little feeling aguinst intermarriage with the black race, might lead to a ra- cial amalganition, the conse- quences of which are difficult at this time to see. Just to think, Dr. Gregory imagines, if these newcomers marry Southern Ne- groes, the problem “would be one of even greater and grave im- port.” However his book covers a wide range, and in speaking of persons of color Dr. Gregory ‘means all who do not belong to the white race. “The white race includes, with the exception on- ly of the Lapps, all the Euro- peans and their descendants in other continents. The yellow or Mongolian race includes the peo- ple. of Eastern and Northern Asia the Malays and American Indians. The brown race in- cludes all Asiaties who are mot Mongolian, all Africans who are not Negroes, the Australian aborigines, and the South Sea Is- landers or Polynesians.” —Con- tinue reading, “The Negro race includes all the frizzly-haired thick-lipped, broad-nosed inhabi- tants of Africa and an offshoot of. the same race in New Guinea and further east in the Melanes- ian Islands.” However, Dr, Gregory believes that each race should work out its own destiny by itself, and to show that he is not alone in his belict he quotes certain corres. pondence had by Herbert Spen. cer with Count Ito in 1892. Ho would relegate the white race to Europe, North America ang N . HOOSIT? 16, He was a Colonel in the Civil War. He drilled colored men inthe streets of Boston, and Gespite the pessimisms of the general public they became a regiment, and he was‘given com- mand, -They served for eigh- teen months without pay. He was mortally wounded early dur- ing the battle of Fort Wagner whereupon seeing the fall of their commander, his leaderless soldiers diyplayed the most ré- markable valor, and oxtraardi- nary courage ever witnessed in hatile unto this day. Wounded they refused to be suecored and actually fought until their hearts ceased to beat. One man, shot through both legs, erawled up the battlements on his bleeding stumps-and placed their gory flag on the heights yelling “The Old Flag never touched the ground.” When the United States asked for the body of their young lead- er, the Confederate Government replied “We buried him with his niggers.” Hoosit? ‘Answer to Hoosit 15.

The Poet’s Corer The Prosperous Black Race Over the seas from our native home, Bound in chain under a slavery band, We were scattered among strange nations to roam, Thou, O God, hath helped us with a powerful hand. We worked in the field’ with a faithful heart, "Twas our fathers’ who tilled the ground, planted, the cotton. In building the cities we took an active part, O faithful black race, such deeds cannot be forgotten. Elevate and magnify our stand- ard we must, ‘Tho steep and rugged is the hill we climb; Fame and’ strength lie in the unity of us. ‘The hilltop we reach in the steady march of time. "Twas our fathers’ helped Ameri- ca advance comprehensive and strong. To be victorious in wars, the hill of prosperity she climbed the height. Suecess and victory is achieved by help of the black man’s arm. Softly whisper I in my hesrt; To us she owes her might. Not envy and jealousy nor a geance we seek; But truth and righteousness and justice for all. St. Matt, chap. 5; the earth’s in- habitants shall be the meek. Every evil work, thought and deed shall fall. Prosper on ye valiant hearted black race of might. No nation has learned intelli- gence, nor prospered in such haste, Nor shown their work and skill a light so bright As the prosperous and faithful American black race. —L. G. Clarke New Haven, Conn. SKEPTICISM No greater baneful destroyer or racial hopes, exists than the skeptic,—the brother who lacks confidence in himself and his ruee. We have met several dif- ferent varieties of this member of the Four Horsemen, and it it both painful and pitiful to see him apply his extinguisher to the comfortable warmth of racial ad- vaneement. One skeptic, a phy- sician, said he never paid any attention to what he read in Negro newspapers,—that it: was all bunk, and he could get enough real news by reading the white dailies. Another, a Negro bus- inessman, said he had?no use tor Negro lawyers, all of whom were N. G. A modest washer- woman whose rent was being raised every quarter or so, said she'd rather pay her rent to a white agent while another promi- iment doctor, with a lucrative practice amoig his own people, always “cut in” a white under- taker whenever he could. Still another skeptic said he did not have much use for colored den- tists; and most of the brothers and sisters living near the young Australia; the yellow and brown Taces to’Asia, and the blacks to Africa, ‘The book has several il- lustrations and maps, ‘and con- dains about two hundred and six- ty pages.
