CONFERENCE ON DISAPPOINTED IN CONDITIONS IN LOVE; MAN TRIES AFRICA CALLED TO KILL HIMSEL Will Be Attended Largely By Representatives of Mission Boards At Hartford, Conn., October 30-November 1. The Africa committee of the Committee of Reference and Counsel has called an open conference on Africa to be held in Hartford, Connecticut, October 30, to November 1. The sessions of the conference will be held in the Kennedy School of Missions. 50080 Some of the problems to be considered at this conference, which will be attended largely by representatives of mission boards having work on that continent will be: "Present Situation in Africa," "Educational Objectives in Africa," "The Education of Women and Girls," "Cooperation for Africa and Africans," as well as a consideration of problems in hygiene and public health, languages and literature, and in the reaching of the people in large cities and mining centers of Africa. Plans will also be made looking toward the "World Conference on Africa," which is to be held during 1926. Among the missionary and educational leaders who will address the conference are: Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, educational director of the Phelps-Stokes Fund, Dr. Homer L. Shantz, of the United States Department of Agriculture, Dr. J. H. Dillard, president of the Jeanes and Slater Funds, Prof. Dr. Westerman, of the University of Berlin, Rev. Thomas S. Donohue, associate secretary of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and Mr. J. H. Oldman, of London, secretary of the International Missionary Council, and editor of the International Review of Missions. SEVERELY GASHED IN AN ARGUMENT Tuesday night, Daisy Williams, 1033 Church street, was taken to St. Vincent's Hospital cut on the face, breast and head. She told Detective Nowitzky, who investigated the cutting, that her wounds were inflicted by a woman named Alma, who resides in Calver's street. The cutting was the outgrowth of an argument over a man she said. Her assailant has not been apprehended. Edward Morgan Takes Concoction of Mange Cure And Tops It Off With Bottle Of Furniture Polish. A lunacy commission will probably examine Edward Morgan, age 26, as soon as his physical condition will permit, according to the opinion of the police. Sunday night Morgan became despondent over a love affair which evidently was going awry, and decided to end it all in so far as he was concerned by emptying a bottle of mange cure down his throat and a bottle of furniture polish for a "chaser." Excited neighbors summoned the police, and when Detectives Wilkins and Smallley reached Morgan's room, pain had struck him and he was begging to be given medical aid, and bemoaning his plight with the girl. The would-be suicide was rushed to St. Vincent's Hospital. After antidotes had been administered he fell to sleep. Altho in a precarious condition, the physicians are of the opinion that he will survive the concoction he sent to his stomach. MECHANICS' BANK BUILDING SOLD Magnificent Structure Brought $75,300 At Public Auction; Mitchell Rumored Purchaser The Mechanics Savings bank building which at one time housed one of the finest Negro banks in the country, has changed hands, it having been sold at public auction Thursday last, to the highest bidder, in an endeavor to help to pay off the depositors of the defunct institution. This magnificent structure, built years ago under the direction of Mr. John Mitchell jr., then the president of the bank, containing everything necessary for a complete banking institution, with offices for rent on the two upper floors and a roof garden, the first one ever in the colored section of the city, brought $75,300. It has been rumored that it was bought in by Mr. Mitchell himself. NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 22, 1925 GARVEY'S PAPER REPUDIATES COX AND JOHN POWELL Negro World Says "They Have No Authority To Use Mr. Garvey and U. N. I. A. For Furthering Propaganda SITUATION AMUSING TO LGCAL OBSERVERS of Richmond, prime movers in the Anglo-Saxon Clubs of America, an organization dedicated to the "saving" of the white race, who have been making the public impression that the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the Anglo-Saxon Clubs stand for one and the same thing, are repudiated in an editorial which appeared in last week's issue of the Negro World, Marne Garvey's newspaper. The Negro World says, "We are against them because they are against us, and we protest that they have no authority to us Mr. Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association to further their infamous propaganda of isolation and degradation of the Negro in American life." Situation Amusing Several local people who have read the editorial in the Negro World seet something amusing in the situation as created by the repudiation of Messrs. Cox and Powell, when it is known that Mr. Cox has recently been the guest of both the Richmond and local branches of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and has delivered addresses under auspices of the association which at times received vociferous applause from Garvey followers. The Negro World says they have no authority to use Mr. Garvey and the association to further their infamous propaganda, while at the same time branches of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are hiring city auditoriums for Mr. Cox (one of the they's referred to,) to use for the spread of his "infamous propaganda." Observers who have closely scrutinized this anomalous situation are reasoning that either the Negro World or Mr. Garvey is cloaking something, or there is a serious misunderstanding within the ranks of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The Negro World editorial follows: "A movement has been started in Virginia, with headquarters in Richmond, which appears to have more than one name, such as the White America Society, the Anglo-Saxon Clubs, and the like, whose purpose it is to segregate and drive the Negro out of American life whether he wants to be driven out or not. The contention is that the Negro has no future in the United States, that he should not have contact or association with white people in any of the thought or effort of the nation. 'Race purity,' is the slogan which the Anglo-Saxon Clubs has adopted. Under this heading they would make a pariah of the American Negro and drive him out of the country whether he wants to be driven out or not. That is to say, Messrs. Powell and Cox have set up a color bar in this country as the white scalawags have set up one in Africa. They expect that self-respecting citizens will subscribe to their basic principle and all of the infamous propaganda stuff with which it is being backed up, and in that they show that they do not know the Negro whom they desire to make a pariah of with the Negro's sympathy and support. Using Visit As A Club Mr. Powell of the Anglo-Saxon Clubs recently saw Mr. Garvey in Atlanta and has been using the visit as a club with which to smash the Negro's head. He claims that Mr. Garvey assured him that he has 'the fullest support of his organization.' Mr. Garvey tells us that the extent of his assurance is that he believes in the doctrine of 'race purity' and 'Africa for the Africans.' The Norfolk Journal and Guide has been giving much space to its Richmond correspondent in playing up the alleged alliance of Mr. Garvey with Powell and Cox. Mr. Cox has written a pamphlet, 'Let My People Go,' and dedicated it to Mr. Garvey, but there is nothing in it that Mr. Garvey can subscribe to except the principle of 'race purity' and 'Africa for the Africans.' All the propaganda to rule the Negro out of his citizenship and American life is foreign to the main purpose and Mr. Garvey could not subscribe to it without abnegating his common sense, which none of us can con- (Continued on Page Three) PRINCIPAL CANDIDATES FOR GRAND EXALTED RULER J. FINLEY WILSON, Grand Exalted Ruler of the Elks, who is a candidate for a fourth term. He is admittedly strong, but faces a hard fight. VANGUARDS OF ELKS MOVE ON RICHMOND TO BIG CONVENTION Wilson, Steele And Watkins Are Principal Candidates; Dark Horses In the Grooming. Vanguards of the Elks and Daughters will move on to Richmond. Saturday night and all day Sunday to be in the capital city for the convening of the grand convention Monday morning. Reports from Richmond state that the city is prepared to entertain the hordes. More than 40,000 Elks and Daughter Elks are expected to attend the convention. Early in this week the street decorating in Richmond began in full. The great arch that spans Fourth street, adjacent to the Williams' lodge home is completed. It is built of substantial material, so as to withstand the knocks and bumps to which it is certain to be subjected; for in this block there is to be a street fair and carnival with concessions of every description. Houses and stores all over the city are being decorated. Two life-sized elks, with beautiful illuminations, which are being placed at the intersection of Second and Broad streets, the gateway to the convention, will await only the turning on the current to display the words, "Hello Bill" and "Welcome," by the time the crowd enters the city. Election, The Big Interest Overshadowing all other interests at the convention will be the election of Grand Exalted Ruler. The election will be hotly contested, there is no doubt about that, and the walls of the Rayo Theatre, where the sessions will be held, will reverberate with the mighty echo of the memorable contest which is certain to be staged in that building next week. Interest over the election of Grand Exalted Ruler is widespread throughout the country and is not confined to the order of Elks. Practically everybody who is interested even casually in things fraternal, is watching and waiting to see what will be the outcome of the Elks election in 1925. The current and cross current of the country is impossible of a definite analysis, which might afford a reasonably accurate forecast of how the election for the highest Elk honor will result. Three prominent candidates have their hats in the ring, and a half dozen or more high rank members are receptive if the lightning should strike them. J. Finley Wilson, incumbent, is completing his third term. He is a candidate for reelection, and there is no obscuring the fact that Mr. Wilson is a strong contender. I. Dalmus Steele, of Manhattan Lodge, New York, has conducted an active campaign throughout the North, East, and South in interest of his candidacy, and it resulted from several sestions that Mr. Steele made a favorable impression. T. B. Watkins, the Western candidate, will go to Richmond with a strong backing J. DALMUS STEELE. of Manhattan Lodge, I. B. P. O. E. of W., of New York, who is an aggressive candidate for the position of Grand Exalted Ruler. Mr. Steele has waged a vigorous campaign, and will enter the affray with a fighting face. Will He Hold Reins? DR. J. E. MILLS, of Norfolk, it is being freely predicted, will play an important part in determining who the next Grand Exalted Ruler of J. B. P. O. E. of W. shall be. Many an important issue has turned upon the strategy of this pioneer in the leadership of the Order. See article on page 7. from the West, and no small amount of favor from other sections of the country. It would certainly not be surprising if these three principal candidates should deadlock the convention. No careful observer would attempt to estimate the strength of any of them More or less, the public has been lead to believe that all three of them are strong. All May Fail Of Election Business Sessions The business sessions of the Grand Lodge will be held in the Rayo Theatre, while the business sessions of the Grand Temple will be held either in the auditorium of the Armstrong High School or the True Reformers' Hall; the latter being preferred by the general chairman, because of the fact that Continued on page Three SUBSCRIPTION PRICE $2.00 PER YEAR T. B. WATKINS, of Kansas City, regarded as the West's choice for the position of Grand Exaltd Ruler, J. B. P. O. E. of W. ORPHANS RECEIVE LAND AND BUILDING VALUED AT $20,000 J. C. Scarborough, of Durham N. C., Donates Old Lincoln Hospital For Home For Aged And Orphaned. J. C. Scarborough, of Durham, N. C. has donated property worth between $20,000 and $25,000 to the Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance of that city to be used as an Aged and Orphan Home, according to an announcement made by the alliance this week. The property is the old Lincoln Hospital, which recently has been replaced by a new hospital costing $150,000, half of which sum was given by James B. Duke and B. N. Duke and the remainder raised by popular local subscription among white and colored citizens. The gift is unconditional and is regarded as perhaps the largest lump sum ever given by a colored citizens of Durham for race uplift, and largest sum given by a colored man for local people. 2 WOMEN, MOTHERS OF 262 CHILDREN, DIE Aged Women of Connecticut and North Carolina Leave Large Number of Offspring. News dispatches tell of the death of Mrs. Eliza Hicks, at her home in Hartford, Conn., whose age is given at 100 years. Mrs. Hicks was born in slavery and boasted of having been freed by President Lincoln's "emancipation proclamation." She had been making her home with her son, John Hicks. Seven of fourteen children born to her are still living, as are eight grandchildren, 134 great grandchildren and eight great great grandchildren. The exact date of her birth was March 15, 1825, Crawford county, Georgia, being the birthplace. Mrs. Ruth Chavis, of Raleigh, N. C., who died Sunday night at the age of 98 years, was probably the oldest woman in city. She unlike the Connecticut woman, did not boast of being freed by Lincoln's proclamation, for the obvious reason that Mrs. Chavis never was a slave. Born in 1827, she was 34 years old at the beginning of the Civil War. She was one year old when the first railroad in America was begun. Morse invented the telephone when she was 8 years old. She was 18 when Texas was admitted to the Union. When the Mexican war began she was 19 years old. Napoleon died six years bfeore she was born. She is survived by two children, 22 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren. 7 CENTS At All News Stands and By Carriers TION PRICE $2.00 PER YEAR RIVER PUT SEGREGATED FEDERAL BUREAUS UP TO SEN. BUTLER Delegation From Equal Rights League Meet Republican National Chairman In His Office In Boston. SENATOR PROMISED TO INVESTIGATE MATTER Boston, Mass., Aug. 15—A direct attack on federal segregation, resulting in the starting of a positive move to eliminate it, was made this week here at a face-to-face interview with the Chairman of the National Republican Committee in an audience granted by Sen. W. M., Butler, whose campaign for return to the U. S. Senate is about to begin, at his Boston office, 77 Franklin St., to a delegation of the National Equal Rights League of national and local officers and Rev. H. H. Proctor of the Brooklyn branch. Rev. D. L. Ferguson opened the appeal, Secretary Wm. Monroe Trotter elaborated on the prevalence and injury of the practice and urged Mr. Butler to remove it through his power as national party chairman and chief adviser to the President, stating the League urged the race to support the party in the belief that with a President and a Chairman both from Massachusetts, segregation will be removed. Senator Butler said he was opposed to segregation and would work against it. While it was a matter of principle, and he had been told there was little of it at Washington, yet his mind was open as to its extent. He did not favor legislation against it, as segregation was an executive and administrative matter. He said he would introduce the Dyer Bill at the coming session. He might not be able to have his way on segregation but would try and would confer later with representatives of the League. Race Action Asked Mrs. M. Cravath Simpson's offer to again send data as to where segregation existed and how much, was accepted. The League appeals to every member of the race, who doubtless will criticize the Republican Chairman if he does not discover its extensiveness, to let Senator Butler know the facts and the feeling of the race at once, (also to send data to Secretary Trotter at 9 Cornhill) especially the colored campaign workers, and thus to make sure of this opportunity to remove the worst of all degradations. 4 NEWPORT NEWS MEN NAMED TO GO TO RACE CONGRESS J.

Mr. Garvey does not stand for anything that would degrade the Negro in his manhood or citizenship, and the White American Society, the Anglo-Saxon Clubs and the Ku Klux Klan stand for nothing in the last analysis, that would recognize the manhood and citizenship of the American Negro in law. They simply use the "tracurity" and "Africa for the African" terms to drive the American Negro out of his social, civil and economic rights, and we are against them because they are against us, and we protest that they have no authority to use Mr. Garvey and the Universal Improvement Association to further their infamous propaganda of isolation and degradation of the Negro in American life. "The American Negro will go to Africa when he gets to it, and he will go when he does of his own free will, and he will not be driven to do it because a bunch of racehating white burybodies insist that he do so. That is the long and short of it." DURKEE TO REMAIN AT HOWARD UNIV'TY DURKEE TO REMAIN AT HOWARD UNIV'TY President Of Board Of Trustees Declares Board Is In Charge Of Institution. The Howard Welfare League which has been promoting a movement having for its object the outing of Dr. J.

Brown, dean of the Divinity School of Yale University, and president of the board of trustees of Howard is credited with having issued a statement in which he said Dr. Durkee will continue as head of Howard. Dr. Brown said in a further discussion of the controversy which has raged around Dr. Durkee. "The trustees of Howard University and not a group of dissatisfied people are in control of the University." At a recent mass meeting of students and interested parties, a threat of another strike at the opening of the fall term was made.

The campus of Bordentown Institute is a fitting setting for this great exhibition and a subsequent trip to the grass teams courts on the estate of Dr. John T.

Quite a congregation greeted him. Among the visitors were Mrs. Perry, a prominent Presbyterian worker of Raleigh, N. C. and Miss Wilson, a teacher of Philadelphia and a former member of Bethany. The Sunday school convened at the usual hour, and a fair attendance was present, upon Prof. J. Riley Dungue called the school to order.

The judge will look at how does that make the Atlantic ocean any nearer the Pacific? There has been so much bally-hooping about this Dempsey-Wills mess that too much credence can not be put into anything that is done now. Fans, near fans, well wishers and other lesser lights will not actually believe that there will ever be a Dempsey-Wills seramble until they see these boys in the ring trying to bite a hunk out of the cars of each other.

Mullins Shv After everything was said and done, it was noticed that Paddy Mullins, the silent man of Harry Wills' affairs was shy in the pot, Kearns and Rickard had picked up their cards and were about ready to play, but they could not induce the silent one to post judgment at this point. His objection was where would the forfeit money go in case Dempsey failed to agree to fight. The commission said it would go to him, but Paddy wished to know how it will go to him when Kearn's forfeit check is made payable to Tex Rickard. Very logical question, then!

This veteran milt artist who has commuted to and from the States for the past decade inserted a piny single, the fifth innings of the fracas waged by Hilliard Park and despised Phil Cockrell of a mob-in-run game, as it was Cockrell blanked the Cubans 4 to 1. Now that the matter is history, it is quite natural that Cockrell should be somewhat perturbed and covered over the turn of affairs, in the way of Fe. nandee's base knack, that knocked his chances of grabbing a no-bit contest, which is the secret ambition of every living hurder who toes the slab, however it is not the novelty of the matter but rather the possibility of hanging up a record that place the fly in Phil's汁entment. On four former occasions Cockrell has entered the hall of fame by no-hit too-run contest and Fernando's unusual string to five. And may it be known that Georgia Rose has picked on no weeklings to accomplish the feat, the New York Internationalists, Detroit Stars, Paterson Silk Sox and American Giants were the victims of Cockrell and his "spitter." Oscar, the ace of the Cuban hun- gers opposed Cockrell and since Oscar believes in wetting the house, the slipperly elm market should shaw a boom if any suitles were to come. Aside from the famous Oscar pitched a deadly game when the home club gathered three singles and mixed bem with pass for three runs that sweed up the contest. Warfield made a heroic effort to keep Cockrell's slate clean, but his diving clutch at Fernandez's hit in the fifth inning was full, the ball just eluded his grasp.

HARRY WILLS GETS HIGH HAT MANNERS, IT IS RUMOREC Harry Wills, known in various parts as the "Brown Panther," having now proved his claim as the logical contender for the rusting crown of Dempsey, is credited with having high-hitting airs. The expressive but incle g an way to put the protest to our Harvay, it is suggested, is, "How do you get that way?" Wills, not very long ago, was getting $30 for weekly wrestling with freight on the docks. When he sailed on a fine trans-Atlantic him to fight anyone; and in event Kearns did sign for him to fight that he would immediately hang up his gloves until the life of their contract needed the attention of an embalmer. What's what now, and if it is, why is it? It seems very strong the way he is being considered of the intelligence, would dicker with Kearns for a scrap featuring Dempsey and post $25,000 to bind the agreement, if the champion claims he will not fight under his manager's arrangement. The situation becomes more beclouded from the actions that took place at that Tuesday's session. Rickard must know what he is doing and if he dots, he will prove the ducking champion a fibber. According to reports, Floud Fitzsimmons had raised the necessary sum to promote a bout between Wills and Dempsey and the champion had signed on the dotted lines. The two players would like to know now. The mess is getting worse day by day in every little way. Some have reached the conclusion that there will be no Wills-Dempsey championship tight and from indications, that has been a foregoing conclusion. Mullins, also wants to know if, by the Rickard-Kearns agreement, Dempsey refuses to mix in a ring, will Wills be declared the champion. To this the commission replied no, and there you are again. Press reports say that the downsider says by Rickard and Kearns agrees that the latter's chance will go to the former if Dempsey failed to appear, while the commission says it will go to Mullins. Just who will it go to? It seems that the only thing that was accomplished at that meeting was the pleasing of Kearns in good with the commission's letter of acceptance. After all, maybe that was all Kearns booed to accomplish. skier recently he had a drawing account credited at $250,000. He got it from the generous support of the press. When he was getting ready to sail, a newspaper man is said to have asked Wills for an interview. It wouldn't have taken ten minutes of his time, but Wills said he was too busy to be bothered. Which might have been true. But had it not been for the press, a representative of which had just asked a faver, Wills' greatest activity might have been in connection with truckushing. LINGCOLN HARD HIT BY GRADUATION Lincoln University, August 19—Stars of the gridiron, diamond, track, and basketball and tennis courts will be lost to Lincoln by graduation this year. The football team is the hardest hit as it loses Captain B. D. Crudu, and "Jazz" Byrd, halfback and Morgan, center—three All C. I. A. A, and All-American selections of last season. The team loses in addition to these stars, "Bai" Taylor, quarterback, Polk and Scott, ends, Howard, a linesman of merit, and Webber, a dependable halfbacks. On the diamond and track the losses overlap as Crudu, an infielder of excerpts, is bity while Byrd records the colored inter-collegiate for the high jump. Other back stars to finish are "Ken" Jones, middle distance runner and Webber, pole vaulter. In basketball, Massie Woods, forward, is the chief loss while the passing of Emory Birch leaves a big gap in the tennis team. A wealth of athletic material however is found in the undergraduate bodies and Physical Director U. S. Young, is confident of producing capable, fighting teams in all branches of competitive sport next year. The Ara-Mural track meet of last June showed that a wealth of material will be on hand for track and field work next spring. SAYS JOE GANS SLOW FIGHTER (By Associated Negro Press.) Philadelphia, Pa.,—Allen t o w n Joe Gans (Joe Hicks), the light-hitting and fast-stopping welterweight, who gave Jack Denney the decision after the judges had disproved, made his first appearance in this city after an absence of two years, when he met Sailor Frederun in one of the ten-round bouts at Shilie Park Monday night. The daily papers for a week or more were loud in their praise for the coming appearance of the Gans, but Monday night he made a sorry showing before a large crowd. It seemed as if he did not want to Tennis Sensation OF North Carolina Miss Eunice A. Brown, of Winton, N. C., has made one of those rare records in the field of athletics. She copied all of the prizes offered the opposite sex at the North Carolina State Tennis Tournament held in Raleigh recently, Miss Brown seems to be riding the founy crest that will lead her to other accomplishments on the courts. Miss Brown is entered in the Southeastern tournament at Petersburg and will play in the National tournament to be held at Bordentown, N. J. hurt Freedman and the bout lagged on. The fight was very slow and at the end of 10 rounds the judges failed to arrive at a verdict and the referee also dodged the issue by calling it a draw. FROM THE FROM THE PRESS BOX WILLEY A. JOHNSON, JR. WONDER if the New York State Boxing Jack Dempsey's advice and took the run into the wet and chilly water below? He wet body the bag all right and all it can Tuesday morning's session really showed the colors and brought to the surface something this country—others as well, for that matter the commission was affronted by Mr. Dempsey WONDER if the New York State Boxing Commission took Mr. Jack Dempsey's advice and took the running jump off the docks into the wet and chilly water below? He sure handed that Augu- met body the bag all right and all it can do is to hold Tuesday morning's session really showed the commission on its true colors and brought to the surface something that it needed in this country—others as well, for that reason. We realize the fact the commission was affronted Mr. Dempsey and knew that it had a most earnest desire to fish him for his act of affrontery. We even believe that he should do so in a manner that would affect him greatly, but see that it has done no more than heretofore and that is not true. Suspending Dempsey in New York is like throwing a fish overboard to drown him. Throw him in at one point and he bobs up at another very much alive. The only thing that barring the champion in New York has done is to deprive the fans of Gotham of the opportunity of seeing Mr. Dempsey in action in defense of the title. The New York boxing board barred Dempsey and Dempsey in turned barred New York. He has wiped it completely from his slate and according to press reports—which are, at times so very unreliable—Hizzener has negotiated to fire Harry Wills, somewhere near Chicago in 1926. The commission couldn't make Dempsey come up or shut up and the laugh is on the revered fathers this time. He wasn't licensed that board, so what could that board do nothing to help him, or suspend or fail to recognize any fighter who is used for the initialization of that board, who fights Dempsey who is used for its demands. That board, who fights Dempsey who is there in New York who is lying by the board, who could make a worthy opponent for the title holder, unless it is Gene Tunny, and a match of that kind doesn't seem to be any where in the minkies. Of course, Harry Wills is not considered in this because all of this mess has come about him, therefore he is completely out of the picture at this moment. THE Commission is missing. It seems to be all out of whack and not biting on all four. It knew very well what it could and could not do. It had a number of us fooled, thinking that it was in a position to do wanders, but fortunately this situation came up and showed all of us the true lights on the whole works. It is good that Dempsey remained ill as long as he did. It was the commission telegraphed him, requested him, and accepted the challenge posted by him. It was that Jack Kearns sent the commission, stating he who was and that the commission could sit on a tack if it wanted. All of the aforementioned is not good because we sanction such, but all of it was good because it brings out a flaw that should be eradicated. It shows the working power of the boxing commission is restricted to its State. This hokum about other commission having a working agreement with other states isn't worth two cents worth of platinum. I don't believe the working agreement between the New York Commission and others is even worth that much, that is the way things are conducted. Dempsey said he did not have to listen to the dictations of the New York Board. He doesn't and didn't. We easily see now that it had no autonomy to demand him to fight Wills or anybody else. It was not in any position to say who he should fight, unless it was trying to promote a fight between Dempsey and some other of the cauliflower gentry. Since it did not have that express purpose in mind, what could it do but put up a lot of idle chatter, which would only have as much affect as pouring water on a ducks back. THE whole thing is, the cauliflower car industry is rotten to the core. I have been saying how good the game was and how it had come out of the rut and taken its place with other good sports, but I and it is his last place, fighters have been held too much money for their services and this caused the game to be corrupted. Next, fighters have been given the opportunity to especially the heavyweight champions. They are allowed to die when they please and everybody seems to be helpless a champion going nearly three years with defending his title is a pretty example of how good the game is getting. Howindll you account for that? The champion won't fight and nobody can make him take his honors from him and throw it up for someone among men who are, apparently more vicious. And you can account for that. A commission says you must fight your most logical challenger and you say, go stick your heart to horrors nest. How do you account for that? You don't fight and you make those fellows out a lie by not fighting and your crown isn't deceived even. How do you account for that? It says you are wiped off our state and can't fight in our fair state until you condescend to meet our demands. And what, whatinl do I care. I've wiped your state off our state and that makes us even. You wipe and I wipe to see who wipes the cleanest. How do you account for it? Well, it's all damn sense, and something ought to be in a hurry too. Something can be done and I believe you off of it we wiseres will soon awaken to the fact and do it. You can be honored to be saved from the dead, legalized warriors. It is all well and good that there should be a working agreement between the boxing commissions of various states, if that working agreement meant anything. There ought to be boxing commissions in any state, where that commission places a penalty upon one of the subjects and the same subject crosses the border to another state, the commission of that state allows him to do as he pleases. What is needed is a national boxing commission, which permits a national boxing law with a governing body in every state, that permits the sport. By this means every state is working on the same principle and will be classified in one state, he is classified in all states and will be as requested. With every commission functioning separately and independently, it is like a man committing a crime in the United States and crosses the border into Mexico. He renders the American government powerless to do anything. This could follow situation can only be rectified by having a national boxing which makes every fighter in the union subject to the law and principles. Until this is done, champions will lay off the job as they please and when told they must fight a logical contender, tell them, go and take a running jump off some convenient dock, or something equally important. James Walker introduced his boxing bill and it went through legalizing boxing in New York under commission rule, it was thought that a great thing had been done. All of us can see how great it was. It was so great that that same commission had the low down to a fighter and he gives it the merry hat and it cannot help itself either. Of course, Dempsy is a past victim of the New York Board is concerned, but that does not affect his health any. There are other state that will give it the right and be glad to have him, because high Dempsy will sure boost the batting age and Coffe. That's what the New York Commission will lose by not having the proper amount of authority. TENNIS PLAYERS MOVING ON TO BORDENTOWN (ly Associated Negra Press) Bordentown, N., J., Aug. 17-The stage for the Ninth Annual National Championships of the American Tennis Association is set.

S. that was picked up via Paige's Park Tuesday, August 1, was the Saints of the Belleville Industrial School calling for help, after having invaded the baseball diamond of the Berkley Elks once too often. The Saints took the small end of an encounter by a score of 7 to 1. Manager Caseus sent Whirly Johnson to do the sharpshooting. The visitors were dazed by the stick work of the Elks. Gary and Johnson featured in the batting, Gary connecting with the old pill for a homer. Johnson struck out 0 and allowed only for Wagner, for the visitors struck 15 hits and caught three Elks, although Wagner was credited with the only score chalked in favor of his team. Score by innings: Saints ------------ 000 010 000-1 Elks ------------ 330 010 00x-7 The Berkley Elks defeated Belleville Industrial School at Paige's Park, August 11, before one of the largest mid-week crowds witnessed on the park this season.

All major league managers, so far as can be gleaned from them, are convinced that the pitching is not as good as it was in other days. It doesn't seem to need more than a ton of hats to drop on one's head to convince others of the identical thing. All kinds of reasons are advanced as to why there are not so many stars as there were in the old days. Perhaps nature may not have been so good all world. Sometimes it looks that way. On the other hand, maybe there are too many of them. A manager keeps pitcheres hanging around him to make up a ball team of themselves. He expects to develop about four who will be of some use, but he is so afraid that he will let a good one go of the other five, he keeps a crop of deadwood on the bench, which gets it D.P.

To Figure Out of Present Hitting most violent exercise in pitching during batting practice. Many of these kid pitchers are perfectly willing to get by with their salaries for the season. They haven't a lot or ambition. They enjoy the novelty of traveling around and stopping at good hotels, which they had not experienced before, and they see much more of the country than they ever did. Some of them are not taking baseball seriously, anyhow. It is a means to a pretty good vacation for one year and maybe another. They have little pride in their work because they know there is always some one to relieve them. They must over anxious to go to the minors, but if it is a good league, it doesn't worry them much, because in those they get very good accommodations. In fact, they get them in almost all circuits. The managers refuse to cut the number of their pitchers down because they can not rely upon themselves.

If the big and lesser leagues would throw off a lot of the material on the bench that won't earn salt this year or next, and cause the pitchers to come to the belief that their noble task is one of business rather than luxury, somebody would get results before long. In the old days they never thought of carrying more than six pitchers, unless a club had a surplus in the bank. Once a championship-was won with two pitchers. In those days the pitchers who couldn't get in were scared stiff because they thought they would lose their jobs, and now they are scared stiff for fear they will have to in and show something. That is, a large number of pitchers are. On the other side of the argument, however, is the fact that good pitchers still perform. PUBLIC AND PRESS FAVOR BATTLING SIKI'S DEPORTATION Actions of Former Light- Heavyweight Champ Embarrassing To Race. Universal opinion seems to be favourable toward the deportation of Battling Siki, or Louis Fall, as he is known in private circles, because of his recent alleged actions that have drawn severe criticism. Siki has been in more scraps and done more clowning in and out of the ring that the wish has been expressed on frequent occasion; that he be sent back to Paris. His actions have simply hurt other boxes of the race and cast a rebellion not pleasant to contemplate. The recent offense of the Singular Senegaless was in New York City, where he clowned and booed his way into being disqualified by the referee and booed by the crowd. Now that the order has been sued that Siki must return to country or have deportation proceedings instigated against him, a sigh of relief so to speak, has passed over the country. The limit of his stay has been long since past. Since last November his stay, so it is said, has been illegal. Deportation seemed the only way out of the trouble. Just prior to his notice from Immigration officials, the New York Boxing Commission issued an indictive suspension for his crazy sporting Club, New York City, August 8. NEXT WEEK MON. TUES. WED.

From indications at last Sunday's meeting the boys seem to be greatly interested in the new program outlined. A good number, most all of the "vets," attgnded Sunday's pow wow. During the second meeting which was held three or four weeks ago the following officers were elected: William Nash, president; Willay A. Johnson, Jr., vice president; R. E. Jordan, secretary; Howard Wright, assistant secretary; Linwood Billups, treasurer; Jas. H. Hill, chapain and Patrick Thornton, sergeant-at-arms. Atty. J. M. Harrison still retains his post as business manager and Thornton was elected captain to succeed Floyd Williams. When this year's eleven trots out on the field, it is expected to be under a competent coach and the local gridders are going after the bacon, grease and all.

RUBIE CURRIE BAFFLES CUBANS, HILLDALE WINS Philadelphia, Pa.—Despite the fact that Rube Currie yielded seven rafe hits, while Hilldale could garner six from Jaunelo's slants, the elongated right-hander was returned a winner in a rather easy fashion when Hilldale scored a 5 to 2 victory over Manager Pompez's islanders at Hilldale Park. Two of the blows struck by Bolden's charges were of the damaging nature, being home run clouts by Captain Warfield and Clint Thomas. These circuit smashes produced enough runs to gain the verdict. Warfield put his club in the lead in the fifth inning by pounding a drive into the center field bleachers with the sacks unoccupied and Clint Thomas unloaded his crash in the following frame with Judy Johnson on second base. The invaders were the first to dent the rubber. Dihigo making a personally conducted affair of it by hitting a long homerun over the center field fence. An error by Chacon permitted the home team to tie the count in their half of the fourth. "Walla-Walla" Oms was the hitting star for the visitors, the hard hitting center fielder hit safely three times out of four trips to the plate and accounted for almost half of the safe hits gathered by the Cubans. George Garr, that menace to all hurlers in the Eastern Circuit continued his slugging tactics and was the only Hildale player to get a brace of bingles from Juanelo's offerings. Cuban Stars ..... 100 100 100-2 Hildale ..... 100 113 00x-2 Two-base hits—J. Johnson, Fernandez, Carr, Oms. Home runs—Diligo, Warfield, Thomas. Double plays—Stevens to Carr. Struck out—Juanelo 3.

Pittsburgh, Pa., Aug. 20—The famous Homestead Grays of Pittsburgh have been censured by the Pittsburgh Umpires Association for alleged boisterous action on the playing field. In a recent game an umpire ejected three members of the Grays, of which Cum Posey is manager, two for using vile language. Claims have been put up in certain quarters that the decisions of the ums were absolutely unsatisfactory, and that the players kicked and were somewhat justified. However, it has been said that things might have been taken too far on the field of play, whereas the matter should have been cleared up after the game. The feeling is that the ums are "killing the goose that laid the golden erg." AN' ATU AT! THE REVERED "COMISER" SIM. J. S. A. His CROWNING AROUND GOT WIN-IM-BAD IN THE U.S.A.

Two games, the dates of which will be announced through these columns a few days hence, are definitely slated for this city. That information comes to the writer from absolutely authoritative sources. Shaw University of Raleigh and Hampton Institute of Hampton have an argument to settle, since a 0-0 tie last season decided nothing in particular, and they expressed themselves as perfectly pleased with the prospect of having Norfolk as the battle ground. The other colorful collegiate struggle of importance that the seaside city is sure of witnessing is the Hampton-St. Paul game.

The Entire Outlook Since the great football game between Morehouse College and Union University, held here several years ago, football has become very popular with Norfolk sport lovers. Lincoln University, Shaw University, St. Paul and Hampton Institutes met in gridironal combat last season. Since the great football gam Union University, held here several popular with Norfolk sport lovers, city, St. Paul and Hampton Insti season.

Other Unconfirmed Rumors There is a rumor, unconfirmed, that Lincoln, Union, Morehouse, and several toher members of the collegiate groups are planning to visit this seaside city.

Wills Will Leave For Home Does The Trick. Karloviyary, a city, town, village, or burg of Red Russia, has not been heard of as a boxing center, but our "Brown Panther." Harry Wills has certainly caused more than one person, rusty on his Russian geography, to peer intently at the map of the European home of the Soviets. The "Partner" cabled his silent manager, Paddy Mullins, from that now historical seaport that he was ready and about to come home. He said nothing in detail or generalities about a Tunney or Dempsey bout. But the entire world knows he will step against Dempsey—if Dempsey will really agree to step before the perpetual "next year." One of the wrinkles that seems to be hard to iron out is Jack's demand that a guarantee of ONE MILLION DOLLARS be posted before he does anything. In fact, Mr. William Harrison Dempsey declares he will do nothing, which same he has done a lot of, unless said ducats are placed in a steel vault. The vault by the way must be bomb proof; this in case of way. The heavy weight muddle is less clear at this writing in a few months. Denials follow every statement almost and until actual training begins for the match, with Dempsey safely signed away for the light, the public has indicated that it is more interested in keep-in cool just at present.

CHRISTOPHER 'FIND' SENSATION AT HAMPTON MEET JOHN WATSON COPPED NINE GOLD MEDALS IN 2 MEETS. —NOW NEW YORK STAR. New York City, August 20.—John Watson, a recent find and now a star of the St. Christopher Athletic Club of this city, was once the "iron man" track star of Bordentown Industrial School, Bordentown, N. J., and while setting his spectacula, pace for that institution copied nine gold medals in 2 track meets. In addition to this, Watson scored valuable points and won prizes for several second places. Can Be Remembered Can be Remembered. Those individuals who witnessed the first Hampton Institute Championship track and field meet will long remember the almost unequaled stamina and ability and courage of the dusky new Jeijeyeh. The first meet was in 1922. Watson wore a white elastic knee covering, and during each race, after his brilliant victory over a fast field in the 100-yard dash, the stands would watch for the flashing white covered knee. And in the 100-yard dash, the furlong sprint, the broad jump, and the relay, Watson's flashing limbs, with the elastic support, would thunder down the cinder path or across the jump pit, a winner. In the broad jump Watson jumped 21 feet and 4 inches; in the 100-yard dash he was timed in slightly over ten seconds; in the 220-yard dash the watches caught Watson, as he twirled across the line, in 23 seconds; he won the 120-yard low hurdles in 16 1-5 seconds; and his face in the relay as anchor man was a classic. Besides this, which brought Watson four gold medals, the marvelous athlete made a good showing in other events. It was a memorable example of all-around ability, and is all the more wonderful when it is remem- PAGE FIVE bered that among the other almost equally great stars was Charles Drew, now Amherst's best all-around star in track and football and other sports. Repeats In 1923. Repeats In 1923. The next year John Watson returned to the Hampton Institute meet, wearing again the blue and white of Bordentown school. Again he won the century and furlong dashes, the broad jump and was on the winning relay team, as anchor man. He bettered his time in the 220-yard dash, fell off a little in the broad jump and lost, by inches, the 120-yard low hurdles. But he won four gold medals that year, just one less than in the preceding year. Now With St. Christopher He is now a star on the St. Christopher A. C. track team, which is competing in New York City. Among his teammates are the scholastic mile record holder, Gus Moore; Bill Stokeley, veteran runner in the mile; Joseph Jackson and C. W. Miller in the 100 and 220 dashes; Chas. Dickey, 220 - yard dash; Align Williams, Manual high school star, quarte; mile; Clarence Sherman and George Wilson, half mile; Arthur Hall and John Goff, three milers; and several other budding stars. Hopes To Regain Stride of 22 - 23 Watson hopes to regain the brilliant stride, while running and jumping for St. Christopher, that he had in 1922 and 1923, while running in the Hampton track meet, when he won nine gold medals and several second and third place medals in two meets.

ZION CONNECTIONAL COUNCIL ADJOURNS Splendid Three-Day Session on Showed Marked Progress In The Connection; Sermon on Were Highly Entertaining. The A. M. E. Zion Connectional Council which began its session at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church Wednesday last, came to a close Friday night. The session was intense, interesting, fun, yet worth not only to those immediately connected with the affairs of the Council but to the public in general. All of the 12 Zion Bishops were in attendance as well as all of the general officers. Bishop Clements opened the convention Wednesday morning with an eloquent sermon. In the afternoon reports of Dr. F. M. Jacobs, general secretary of Dr. S. D. Watkins, manager of Publication House and Dr. H. Goler, Financial Secretary, were read. These reports showed marked progress in the denation in their respective fields. At Wednesday night's session the welcome addresses were heard: Dr. P. S. Schenck, Director of Public Safety, spoke on behalf of the city, while various delegates spoke on behalf of branches of the Connection. Dr. W. H. Davenport, editor of Public Zion, Dr. W. O. Carrington, editor of Quarterly Review, Dr. J. Francis Lee, editor of Sunday school literature, and Prof. W. J. Trent, president of Livingstone College made reports Thursday morning. In the afternoon Prof. J. W. Younge Correspondent Secretary, W. J. Matthews, Corresponding Secretary of Foreign Missions, reported. Thursday night the session was held at Garrett's A. M. E Zion Temple, where a rally on behalf of that church resulted successfully. During this service, Bishop W. J. Walls, preached a masterly morning. Friday morning Dr. C. S. Whitted, secretary of the ministry, brotherhood read his report. Friday night's session was fraught with the greatest interest. It was then Secretary Jacobs read the auditor's report covering every department of the connection. This reading precipitated warm discussions among the bishops, leading ministers and laity. Dr. Jacobs, as is characteristic of him, was pointed in his remarks to the powerful things which required the immediate attention of the Board of Bishops. While the discussion waxed warm, it was good natured and the public seemed to enjoy it immensely. Bishop J. W. Woods was presiding. Sunday was given over entirely to devotionals. Both the Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion pulpit and Garrett's Temple pulpit were filled by visiting ministers.

Quite a number of the delegates left the city Friday night, among whom were pastors, expecting to get back to their charges for the Sunday services. The prosperous, happy appearance of the visitors made a big impression upon them, fok's in beautiful and high-powered cars. They were a composite of Negro intellectuality, progress and religious advancement.

Mr. Barclay is forty-three years old and speaks English fluently. And while the Liberia was a country for young men and that if he were asked to speak to American Negro organizations relative to Negroes from the United States going to his country to settle he would be pleased to do so.

CONVOCATION OF SOUTHERN VIRGINIA GETS FINE REPORTS Archdeacon Russell Recommends Uniform Service Hour, 11 a. m.; Five New Churches During Year. The thirty-third annual convocation of the Diocese of Southern Virginia which was held in St. Mary's Church, LaCross, Va., August 4-5, was one of the best attended in recent years. The reports of the various committees were germane and showed evidence of careful preparation and thought. On account of its importance, interest centered in the report of the special commissions appointed to contain and make recommendation with reference to the reply of the Diocesan Council to the memorial of the Colored Convocation, asking for full diocesan representation in the Council. Holy Communion Following the administration of the Holy Communion Thursday morning, with Archdeacon Russell celebrant, assisted by Rev. H. T. Butler, minister in charge of St. Mary's Church, and organization of the Convocation, Archdeacon Russell delivered his address, which consisted of a general review of conditions in the diocese with especial mention of the splendid progress in Church building. Five new churches were mentioned as either building or completed building. St. James, Portsmouth; St. Mark's, Bracey, and St. James, N. Emporia, brick edifices. St. Philip's, Dillard Siding, Lunenburg county, and St. John, Sketten, Brunswick county, frame structures. Of these St. James, Portsmouth, and St. Philips, Dillard Siding, are complete; St. James, N. Emporia and St. Mark's, about 75 per cent complete. The Archdeacon recommended a uniform service hour, 11 a.m., and the acceptance by the report of the Special Commission of the Diocese on the memorial from the Colored Convocation: Bishop Thomson's Address In his annual address, Bishop Condjutor Thomson laid special stress upon the necessity of churches and missions making proper reports and raising their full quota of appoinments and assessments as provided by the church program. On presentation the report of the special committee on reply to the Diocesan Council to the memorial from the Convocation was a adopted without debate. Rev. E. E. Miller, who presented the report stated that while the reply felt somewhat short of their expectation in regard to the scope of the representation, it is limited in what he felt under the circumstances that it was wise to accept it with the reserved right upon the part of the Convocation to re-open the question, if future events justified such a course. During the church school convention the reports from the various schools showed gratifying progress Dr. W. E. Reid was re-elected president; Mrs. M. B. B. Birchtee, sec. of the church school; Dr. Grace Church, Norfolk, assistant secretary, and Mr. P. E. Bowman treasurer.

Grandy, of Norfolk, president of the Woman's Auxiliary, was on the program for an address, but being unable to attend, Mrs. Wichard, vice president served in her stead. Mrs. Wishard told of the work the Auxiliary was trying to do in the Diocese and made an urgent plea that the Auxiliary send delegates to the annual meeting at Petersburg next fall. The financial report showed that a total of $170.27 had been sent up by the various auxiliaries. The appropriations were as follows: "Virginia Morgan Russell" scholarships of $75.00 each to Bishop William H. Paul's School; $20.00 to Mrs. S. E Cassell, Monrovia, Liberia; $10.00 to Bronley School, for the African work; $5.00 each to a number of other objects and $10.00 to the Piedmont Sanatorium, Burkville Total disbursements amounted to $100.12.

Mills, of Eureka No. 5 was Grand Organizer for the parent body and right-hand man to Howard. Determined that the old body should grow in spite of the split, Dr. Mills set out on an itinerary through the country talking Elkland, preaching Elkland and setting up new lodges under the parent wing where he went. From Boston, Mass., in the North to Savannah, Ga., in the South, the Grand Organizer traveled. During this period he succeeded in setting up over 40 lodges, adding materially to the strength of his faction. Mills Howard had formed an unbreakable alliance with the good of Negro Elkland, and Mills former close association with the founder makes him just about the best informed man on Elkland in this country. Eureka Lodge No. 5. of Norfolk, of which Dr. Mills was a member, too, was standing by the parent body, insisting that Howard be permitted to serve his time and providing money and inspiration to hold together what appeared to many to be a tottering structure. The Norfolk Lodge was consistently regular, never wavering in its loyalty to the founder and his faction. It was not long, however, before leading. Elks of both factions realized that in dissension there was inherent weakness. Outside forces were at work against Negro Elks, and internal strife made the fight of the outsiders easier. A truce was called and negotiations instituted looking toward bringing together the parent body and its refractory child. The necessity unified the war for now being strongly for the fight without was looming formidable and foreboding. In 1908, by agreement, both factions met in Detroit, Mich., for the purpose of bringing about cohesion. Unification papers were drawn up, which stipulated that Howard should be paid a certain sum of money, and the position of Grand Exalted Ruler thrown open to be won by the best man. The path for unification seemed bright, but it was not. The drawback was that the offspring body was not in a position to come up with its share of the sum stipulated to be Howard, and the body design of Grand Exalted Ruler until all terms agreed upon should have been complied with. The result was the meeting broke up without the split having been closed and both factions returned home prepared to go on with their separate activities. Dr. Mills Elected Ruler Mr. Howard's ten-year term having expired, his faction proceeded to elect Dr. J. E. Mills, of Eureka Lodge, Norfolk as Grand Exalted Ruler. Atkins was reelected head of his group. Outside agencies still were menacing the Negro Elks, and the necessity for unification was being more keenly felt. In Norfolk during those hectic days for the Elks, propaganda from the pulpits and religious bodies was strong and bitter against the order. Preachers were openly denouncing the Elks as sports and dudes, and declaring their order would foster an unmoral influence in the community. This was the period of Negro Elks greatest trawl. They were being being afflicted by the clergy, and fought at by the churches and suffering internal strife. During this shadowy period, Eureka Lodge virtually grit its teeth against the attacking forces, and poured liberally from its treasury the sinews of war. Dr. Mills and Dr. Atkins finally effected a conference at which it was decided that both factions should meet in Washington D. C. in 1909, with Dr. Mills presiding. Both bodies met us had been previously arranged. The committee was formed consisting of Dr. Mills, the two grand Exalted Rulers; Dr. W. T. Jones, of Newport News; J. Frank Wheaton, a New York lawyer; James M. Harrison of Norfolk; Dr. P. A. Scott, of Newport News; Sandy Daughtry, Portsmouth; Archie Drew, Portsmouth; Rev. Gray, Hampton; J. D. Dickerson, of Providence, R. I.; John Patterson, officer of Washington, Dr. J. Finley, Wilson legal adviser and J. Finley, Wilson news reporter, and J. Finley, Wilson succeeded in coming out the difficulties which had kept the lodges apart for seven years, united the Elks and J. Frank Wheaton was elected Grand Exalted Ruler over all. New Era In Elkdom Once more together as a single body, Negro *Elks* of the United States then set about for unparalleled expansion. Internal snipers had been brought in, but still outside attacks were growing in volume and intensity. They were then coming from every section of of 40,000 to 50,000 colli will gather in Richmond gather to 28 in the 26th and Conceive of the section of the United for every vocation of life presented in the multifaceted herd.

Fioneers of the order were determined, however, not to give up, and they were comforted by the fact that sentiment among the race group had undergone a change and the Elks were rapidly growing in admiration of colored people.

Hatchet Buried In New York Some time later a meeting was held in New York at which were representatives of the contending forces. Prominent white and colored Elk made up the representation. Following prolonged discussion the hatchet was buried and differences composed to the satisfaction of all concerned. The officer not perch upon the boast staff of the Elk of the World until much vain litigation had been resorted to. From then until the present day the growth of Negro Elk has witnessed no abatement. Its has been phenomenal. There are over 400 Elk lodges in the United States at present with a Grand Lodge of Ury totalling more than $100,000. The organization spreads its wings to New England shores, to the shores that border on the Gulf of Mexico, over the rugged Rockies to the peaceful Pacific down through the valley of the Mississippi and back to the Atlantic on the East. Eureka Lodge Takes Pride Euteka lodge of Norfolk takes a merited pride in the part it has played throughout the history of Negro Elkdom. It is one of the pioneers and one of its Past Exalted Rulers, Dr. J. E. Mills has been a leading factor in the upbuilding of the lodge with ways backed by Euteka's money and finances. At present this lodge possesses a membership close to 1,000 persons and has one of the handsomest homes among Elks of the South. This building on East Brambleton avenue was purchased in March 1923 at a cost of $21,500 and more than $2,000 was spent in remodeling its interior. A pool room, buffet, lounge room and offices comprise the first room. The second and third rooms are given over to lodge rooms. The building is self-sustaining, according to officials of the lodge. Jerry G. William is the present Exalted Ruler, who is members a loyal and enthusiastic group, modestly boasting a splendid record of achievement for the good of the order. LONDON'S PHONE RECORD.

NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 22, 1925 Indicative of Old World fear that the colored races of the world will eventually cause the white races considerable trouble through a coalition w i th the Soviet Government of Russia was the recent grilling thru which Scotland Yard detectives put J. A. Rogers, the American writer, who is at present visiting European cities gathering material for his forth coming book. Mr. Rogers says that Impersonor William Bred, of the famous detective in London, told the detective "Moscow was causing a lot of trouble among the colored 'races' and would only be too glad to get hold of a man of my education." Rogers was trailed from New Yorn to Plymouth by a detective, who continued on the S. S. George Washington to France. This alleged secret service man stationed on Communism on shipboard.

Investigates Rogers Accordingly instructions we are forwarded to Scotland Yard to investigate Rogers at the address he had given. Rogers, however, did not go straight to London but went to Penzance. Cornwall, in search of matter for his coming novel. In the meantime the detectives had gone to the London address and not finding Rogers there accused another American of being Rogers. When interview took the place of humourously: "I hope Moscow will take the hint," he laughed, "and send me on some money. Believe me I can use it. This is a hard country to live in." Section Hand Falls Heir To Thousands Section Hand Falls Heir To Thousands How would it be if you while, a poor laborer were quietly work- and just about accepted your lot in life as about as good as that of the common herd, a voice should suddenly, as if coming out of nowhere, say to you that you are today worth $25,000? Well, that is just what happened to Elijah Manik, age 35, a section hand for the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, employed in the yards at Costa Rica. Manik has had fallen heir to that amount. Upon receipt of news of his good fortune he immediately ceased to swing-pick and shovel and left for New York to collect the fortune that had come to him through the death of a near relation. It is said that efforts to locate Manik have been in progress for more than two years. Last week he was found at Postoria where he was working for several months. Manick is a world war veteran and since leaving the service has not kept in touch with his family in New York. After coming to Fostoria Manick decided to write to his sister. It is said that Manick was so surprised, he almost suffered an attack of grogginess when he received his sister's letter telling him of the fortune he waited until he had misgivings about the actuality of the fortune as related in his sister's letter, but when he received a letter from a big firm in New York City telling him about the matter, then he almost went wild with delight and he immediately departed for the East. Ruler of Eureka No.5 A. E. H. JERRY O. GILLIAM, Exec. Adj. Ruler of Eureka Lodge of Elks, Mr. Gilliam is credited with having inaugurated several improved business methods in the conduct of the affairs of his lodge, which go far toward conserving and advancing the property interests of the Eurekas. "The trouble," he said, "began in New York City when I applied for a vise to go to Sierra Leone in British West Africa. The truth is that I had only the slightest hope of being able to go so far. When I get to France I do hope to visit Algeria and Morocco, but knowing many American Negroes who had talked of going to Africa, and having heard that the latter were not permitted to land there I thought I would verify the matter and asked." Told He Could Not Go To Africa After some questioning Rogers said that he was told that he could not be given a vise for Africa and that he would have to take up the matter in England. Then the authorities apparently became suspicious and took him into an inner office where he was questioned by a young woman. "This young woman," says Rogers, "wanted to find out whether I was a musician or a Communist but instead of going to the point began to ask me several questions in a negative way: 'You're not going to join a hand?' 'You're not going to Glasgow, or India, or Russia, or Germany?' She also didn't seem to believe that I, a Negro writer, could be traveling on my own. Well, you can hardly blame her for that. "In applying for a vise one must give an address but knowing no address of Mr. Whaleley, the address of Scott and Whaleley, that had been given to me by my friend, Lawrence Brown, the composer." "Arriving in England I visited Cornwall, Devon and other places, where I had a splendid time. Later I arrived in London and was congratulating myself that I was really having a holiday from the eternal color question when to my great astonishment I was informed by Mr. Johnston to Johnstone. Johnstone that Scotland Yard had been looking for me for some time and had been accusing Whaley of being me.

He received me very courteously and told me that he was only carrying out instructions, which were to the effect that I had doubtful associations in New York City. I waited while he conducted a large sheaf of documents for him to name these questionable parties expecting the names of any of the dozen or so Negro Communists I know in New York, or perhaps, Marcus Garvey, when to my great astupishment he named Dr. DuBois, who he informed me was, "a dangerous man." This, as I said, was news to me for not only had I hitherto not regarded DuBois as dangerous to white world domination, but he fact is that although no man I have many blocks away from him I have the slightest possible personal acquaintance with him. I am further associated with the Messenger who supposes most of DuBois policies. "I was also questioned as to the means of my income, the inspector informing me that Moscow was causing a lot of trouble among the colored races and would only be too glad to get hold of a man of my education. I told him that the money I was traveling on was the result of my hard earned savings. After asking me to leave a copy of "From Superman to Man" for him to read, he advised me to register with the police, and told me that I wouldn't be troubled any further. Male of the courtesy and this assurance I felt a big uncomfortable at first. It is not pleasant to think that one is being followed everywhere by sleuths, still all in all it was great fun." Trailed to Plymouth According to Rogers he was trailed from New York to Plymouth by a detective who continued on the S. S. George Washington to France. This alleged Secret Service man, he says, made friends with him the second day out and brought up the subject of Communism several days later. Something told me that this man was a spy, says Rogers, "particularly after the question had been put to me in New York City. I have been around the police and the courts too long not to know a "dick" when I see one so I killed him full of bull. the subject of Communion one evening as we paced the deck and declared that it was the only cure for the ills of the world. I was ready for him and gave him a full dose of the usual line of Communist chatter. I thought that if he was a "dick" I did not let him take all that long trip for nothing. And the amusing part of it was that it was rumored on board that I was a Secret Service man. Yes, Europe, like the South hasn't got over the war yet.

Taking candy from a baby is not a fretful task, nor did we fail to smile when once we robbed a bird's nest and its mother of her eggs, but when an unknown husky prowls promiscuously around and about your premises through the small hours of the morning, it is indeed time to rid your face of an expression signifying anything other than seriousness and worry. Well, that is what happened to the home of a family connected with this paper last Friday morning one half an hour after the clock toiled three. Clever Tactics The "haul" was evidently planned by two of these "midnight raiders" as one (incidentally the one who escaped the iron hand of the law) was parading the sidewalk in front of the house obviously watch- IN THIS SECTION City News-Virginia and North Carolina Features and Editorials.

However, passing automobiles proved to be his "Waterloo" and indirectly exposed the job. Sounds of an approaching auto sensed in him the danger of its brilliant headlights, and he proceeded to climb the porch railings and seek refuge in the narrow lane adjoining the house. But he berry misjudged the speed of the vehicle, and before he could clear his barrier, it was clear to him. Realizing that it was late to come to察觉 his per his original intentions, he resorted to a less conspicuous corner of the porch. Two officers were sitting quietly, hidden behind a screen of darkness on a neighbor's porch two doors below, watching the highwayman's every move, waiting only for a single action which would serve a evidence to convict him in his despicable undertaking. The first such movement was one in which the thief intended either to move or remove a hammock from the front porch, where he had likely discovered his secret entrance through an unblocked window. The Surrender Rapidly approaching footsteps* a snuffle of heels* - thump! - a crash were some of the sounds, usually foreign to that stage of the slumber period, which tended to arouse the occupants of the besieged house. An investigation revealed the fact that the gentleman who was on the porch was still there, but in the custody of an officer of the law while the other cop was vainly searching about in possible hiding places for the second party to the attenuated robbery. Amusing Alibis. When first questioned about his motive for such an act as robbing one's home, the lawbreaker replied, "looking for someone." When no one in the house recognized him as a welcome inquirer, his next alibi, which was of as medicier composition as was the first, war that he took the hammock down to go to sleep on. One after another his explanations became more contradictory, but at the same time he was reluctant about saying more than was necessary to answer the queries. Troublesome No More. Regardless of what he came for, the girl was a swift rift to the Police Station, and later in the same morning a six-month vacation at hard labor on the roads. And we feel that he deserved as least that much. Half of such dangerous paracles on the honest could be similarly dealt with, doubt less some of the crimes committed by just that sort of stumbling block to civilization could be checked. PLEASANT RIDGE Pleasant Ridge, Vn.—The revival which started at Asbury M. E Church on the 2nd Sunday, was quite a success. Rev.

Burkeville, Va. Miss Theresa C. S. Oliver, prominent young woman of this city has returned from Philadelphia, Pa. A few weeks ago the Journal and Guide published an account of the poor educational advantages for colored children in Deep Creek District, Norfolk county, Va. The conditions set out in that article were regarded as most extreme and thought to be difficult to duplicate, Sumter county, Georgia, however comes forth as a rival to Deep Creek, according to the following which is reprinted from Opportunity Magazine. "Tennessee's claim to distinction as our most militantly unlightened commonwealth is being quietly challenged by Georgia. In Georgia about 40 per cent of the population are Negroes. The Governor recently appointed a Committee to make a survey of the educational needs of the State. They have surveyed and recommended. They ask for more than a million dollars for schools. Of this amount, the committee thought $122,500 would be about enough for the Negro schools. The remainder, a bout eight times as much, they felt would be fair apportionment for the other 60 per cent of the population. "But it is left for Sumter county of this State to step out boldly from the ranks to make history of its own. There are 6,583 children of public school age in the county, of whom 1,622 are white and 4,361 colored. The County Board of Education has felt the urge to economize more rigidly, and this is the result: They have cut the salaries of all Negro teachers who receive over $25.00 a month (the highest is $47.00); the school term for the Negro county schools is to be reduced from eight to six months; four Negro schools will be abolished entirely (all the schools are crowded); one of the two Smith-flagged nurses of James Jones was required to be removed. The State Treasury grants $4.41 per child to the county, theoretically without regard to color, and Sumter received in 1925, $29.228. But, although $22.00 came to the county—if not for, then certainly because of the colored children, all the Negroes got of it was $6,400. "It is perfectly plain thus, why in the State there are 261,115 Negro literates, and in Sumter county 4,948 Negro literates out of 5,138 literates, despite the fact that Negro illiteracy in North Carolina, for example, dropped from 31.9 in 1910 to 24.5 in 1920, this illiteracy in Sumter county in was 33.6 and in 1970 it was 33.6, these were the reasons to explain why Negro population, which, between 1000 and 1910 increased naturally from 18,813 to 21,243, dropped to 19,862 between 1910 and 1920, when they got their first chance to move away." where she recently graduated from the Derrick Business College.

WALDEN COLLEGE LOOKS FORWARD TO BEST SCHOOL YEAR Methodist Institution at Nashville, Tenn., Enters Upon Sphere of Larger Usefulness. Faculty Increased. Walden College at Nashville, Tenn., is culminating plans for quite an eventful school year which begins September 21. Instead of the third year being "the charm," the authorities of the school look forward, with much in their favor, to the fourth year, of the college on the new site, as the year whose results will mean victory for a larger outlook and development. Careful attention has been given to the selection of the added teachers to the faculty which will be the best in the history of the school. A more strict departmental plan will go into operation this year and the college teachers will do college work only, while the preparatory teachers will teach only in their department. In order to safeguard approval by the State Board of Education, the course of study will be arranged as to convey the requirements of the State and also meet the demands of other educational agencies of the country. Some of the Plans Cognizant of the spirit and outlook of youth today, plans which tend to stimulate the proper development of student life, will continue to be fostered, and methods will be employed which encourage the development of the initiative on part of the student. The student council, which has proven a valuable asset to the discipline of the school, has already been elected by the student body and await cheerfully the duty of enforcing among the students their own rules and regulations. The team, with Prof. Wm. Snyrk, of Clafin, will come from Indiana University and from Miami University of Oxford Ohio. Several excellent new players for the sports have been accepted as students and the veterans of previous years will return, also. Russ, probably the leading athlete in colored schools if today, will be found as he, himself, puts it "at the old homestead, Walden." Educators to Make Survey A committee of educators, representing the Board of Education of the Methodist Episcopal Church will make a survey, this coming school year, of the nineteen schools under the Board, with the view of rigidly classifying these schools. It is highly probable that, as a result of the survey, Welden will win a prominent place among this group of schools.

(By Associated Negro Press.) New York, N. Y. Aug. 20—Tuesday the mortal remains of H. W. Donaldson, founder and publisher of the "Billboard," a theatrical weekly journal, were inlid to rest at Evergreen cemetery, Newport, Kentucky, the family name. He had died in Sarasota, Florida, where his failing health had obliged him to retire, participating in activism and other interests. Henry failure was the immediate cause of his demise. "Bill" Donaldson, as he was known to the show world, was a man with the finest type of personality, the broadest education and the keenest perception of any trade journalist in the whole world. Ofttes him the greatest gift of his tremendous influence; and only too often the Negro benefited from this. He first startled the world when he placed James A. Jackson on the staff of his paper as a full-fledged editor with all of the prerogatives of that office and with not one single abridgment of the great privileges that accompany him. He was organized in certain quarters, he unwavered in gifting supported the move that today has many followers on papers throughout the country. One Negro show-owner in Georgia owes his present liberty and perhaps life to his intervention after the poor fellow had been arrested for defending his wife. Another performer is free from a Virginia prison because his appeal was financed by the late Mr. Donaldson, and there are many duplicates of these instances. In the case of his paper has been a subscriber to the service of the Associated Negro Press, and its publisher extended every courtesy to its officials. Supported Gilpin When Gilpin's right to the Dramatic Club dinner was questioned, W. H. Donaldson threw the weight of his influence behind the star to tremendous moral advantage. He once courted it $25,000 libel suit in defense of eight Negro chorus girls, spending several thousands of dollars in preparing a defense for the court, and convinced the preliminary expense of organizing the National Negro Fair Officials Association, and encouraged substantially a number of other uplifting projects, not always confining himself to theatrical propositions. It is checks have found their way into every prison welfare organization in America, and often through Negro ties to beneficiaries of the same race. His final act on the last trip North was an effort to place a Negro on the staff of the Director of the Sesqui-Centennial at Philadelphia. Though the effort did not reach success before his final call had come, the effort did much toward awakening interest in the race and its progress, for he placed information before those whom Negroes could not reach under so favorable circumstances. A great man has passed. The Negro has lost a militant friend, the one who gave a veritable "Duddy." It is a far cry from the "Pork chop hand" of straggling Cincinnati musicians to the present theatrical opulence of the race; but through those three decades, William H. Donaldson has been the unwavering friend of the Negro without once capitalizing on that friendship. If Negroes had known his benefactions as does the writer, the funeral would have been a spectacular one indeed. HERTFORD Hertford, N.

Their first stop was Weldon, N. C., and while there they took a hurried view of the town and from the looks of every thing they concluded that it is agressive community center. After leaving here they met to Eastman School where they situated in Halifax they found conditions here ideal. Everything was built according to nature's plan. No paint was used on the buildings and no timber was dressed. The simplicity with which buildings are constructed and the method of obtaining water made a great impression upon the boys. The hydraulic ram was used to force the water from place to place. There are 3,700 acres in this tract which is cultivated by many people, and whose crops and livestock were among the best. Prof. Wynn and his party camped there for the night. Specially for professors, Seymour and Hays, and were given a sociable that night, at which time the H. C. T. School quartet rendered several selections. Encore after encore was the response. After they had viewed in detail the many features of the school they left for Enfield. Here they viewed the business section of the town and then left for J. K. Brick's Agricultural and Industrial School. They found this to be an idea ischool, with all modern facilities. Everything was clean and tidy. The boys were greatly impressed with the bee industry. The principal, Prof. Ibiondon, was getting ready to send off 8000.00 worth of honey. From here they went to Rocky Mount and were especially impressed with the Negro business enterprises, such as drug stores, undertaking establishments, and the methods of exterminating the same. The boys had the privilege of examining the hibernating insects, the boll weevil in particular, and also the methods of exterminating the same.

Then on top of William Windsor and back to Winton 5:30 August 9. and Prof. Wynn reports that he and his party enjoyed a pleasant trip. It was real inspiration for the boys.

C. T. School, Winton, N. C. Each member of the party was required to take notes and will report same to agriculture class this winter. WAVERLY Waverly, Va.—Mrs. Annie M.

RICHMOND RICHMOND BRANCH LIBRARY INVITING Richmond, Va.—The public library of this city has been placed way out on West Franklin street, far out of the reach of the colored people; too far, in fact to be of any service to them. But a splendid branch of that same institution is conducted at the Phyllis Wheatley branch of the Y. W. C. A. on N. Seventh street. A great number of good books have been placed on the shelves of the new acquisition to the public library, for the use of the general public and it is carnestly hoped that every body in the city will avail themselves of the opportunity and privileges among the library. It has two splendid reading rooms, courteous and obliqued matrons in attendance, who seem to take keen delight in serving the public and books of almost every nature and promises of many more if the library is patronized as it should be. BOWERS HILL Sunday at Little Zion church, shortly after Sunday School, which was well attended, the Junior Missionaries took charge under the direction of Mrs. Elmira Rodgers and Mrs. Lizzie King.

Harmer from Matt. 5:16. The speaker chooses for his subject, "Good Works," from which many helpful suggestions were gleaned.

Thus far they only have two hundred, gathered over a period of two weeks by those who come to the building to look over the books and register. Among the names suggested are: Mrs. Rosa E. Bowser, D. Webster Davis, Paul Lawrence Dunbar, Phyllis Wheatley and J. E. Jones, the latter suggests the late Professor J. E. Jones, who before his death was instructor in theology at Va. Union University. Block Carnival The East End has carried off the palm for holding block carnivals. On last Thursday night they held two within a few blocks of each other and both seemed to do well. A sort of floating crowd attended them both. On the Thursday night the Fourth Baptist Church, funded by the Fourth Baptist Church, Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. On the same nights over on O St, a few blocks away the matrons of the L. O. St. Luke held sway. Both were splendidly arranged affairs. The city officials were extremely nice in blocking off the streets for them each night. Perfect. Perfect. It is indeed that they played to successful business. On the opening night the Williams Lodge of Elks band gave a concert for them. St. Luke Delegates Of A great throng of delegates and others equally interested in the order left the city Sunday morning for New York to be in attendance at the great St. Luke Convention held in that city during the week. Many prominent people were among them most of whom will come back to the city about the same time the delegates and visitors for the Elk convention will be coming in. Mr. Walter T. White the celebrated tenor of this city who left Saturday for New York as a delegate to the convention, will remain to the annual Beach Party as given by the students of Columbia University each year. The original Cruchers, once famous as hotel owners and Moonlight excursion monopolists and ever-time in this city, came to life again and gave one of their old time moonlights down the James. They revived the old crowd and had the same old time. WOMAN KILLED;MAN INJURED IN AUTO Returning from a "Big Patent" held up in the country Sunday, and with the roads black with automobiles a little Ford Sedan attempted to pass, on the wrong side it is said, a machine going in the same direction and ran headfirst into a telegraph post on the road side, and according to reports one woman was killed outright and a man severely injured. Of late the people the old fashioned man seemed to take the old fashioned meticulous settings for a place of sport and go into the country not for the meetings but for the pleasure it affords them. Many are the accidents that happen as a result of it. Powell and Cox Address Garveyites The Universal Negro Improvement Association held one of its regular metings here Wednesday night at which time Mrs. Marcus Browne, the wife of Mr. dress. She was preceded by Mr. John Powell author of the Race Integrity law and sponsor of the Anglo-Saxon Club, a number of whose members were present including Major Earnest S. Cox, who said, in his brief talk, "the National Association for the Advancement of Race" and the DuBois crowd is huddled in a number of white people, but by the Eternal God, we will give as many white people to Marcus Garvey and his movement as they have." REMEMBER Candles will burn better and more slowly if they are stored in a dry place six or seven weeks before they are to be used. To improve the flavor of currants and raisins in puddings and cakes, place them in a bowl, pour boiling water over them and leave to soak over night. Drain and dry in oven before adding to other ingredients. Cloth that has become mildewed can be restored by putting lemon juice on spots and exposing to strong sunshine. One teaspoonful of cornstarch added to 6 teaspoonfuls of salt will prevent lumping of salt in shakers. When polishing furniture rub the same way as the grain. The furniture will get bright more quickly. If the ends of paraffin candles are kept and melted they can be used to saturate dust-cloths. —If a carter fails to get this paper to your time, call 316.

Loses Life For Wild honey is regarded by many as a very precious substance, but nobody has ever been able to lose a life to obtain. Walter Hall, a farmer of New Albany, indcantly lost his life in years of the sweet. Hall tied an oil cloth about his head as protector from bees, then thrust a torch into a hollow hole in a tree to smoke out the bees. He then stuck it in the bee to see how things going on, like the bees' flight from the torch to his oil head covering, and igniting it. His body was seared by the fire, and he did a few hours later in a hospital. DAVIS BUS LINE Portsmouth—Cot. High and Crawford and Buffalo—Cot. E. Washington and Male Sites.

The Sunday school and the public school systems are the natural fortresses of the national morality and patriot- --- Airplane transportation of passenger and freight has made wonderful progress in Europe and is just beginning to gain headway in this country. Big business has become interested, with Henry Ford pioneering the way and the Morgan interests trailing in. What influence air service will have on railway service has begun to disturb those who control the latter, and well may. White American tourists have done much to spread race and color prejudice in Europe, but the great mass of European people do not understand nor appreciate the white American tourists' viewpoint, any more than they could understand the prejudice shown by white American officers and soldiers against colored American officers and soldiers during the World War. The Afro-American tourists in Europe find plenty of cordiality and hospitality wherever they go, with little display of race and color prejudice. The Ku Klux Klan demonstration in Washington, August 8, squeezed through without a disturbance of any kind, but the police and everybody else, including the Klansmen, were mighty glad when it was all over and the danger passed. The Klansmen were on their good behavior, some 60,000 of them. They say they are going to hold the next demonstration in New York City. It is significantly noticeable that very few Southern Klansmen attended the Washington demonstration, those of the Middle and New England States being in the majority. There is a great deal of real savagery remaining in human nature and it is cropping out in all parts of the country in most alarming and provoking ways. Banditry has degenerated into a profession and a menace to life and property. The two white men in Johnston county, N. C., who roasted a white youth over a burning stump gave us an example of the sort of savagery that is abroad in the land, and makes itself felt in many ways, and is keeping the law-enforcing officers busy. Life and property must be protected; legal process must prevail every where among us, or our system of government will be destroyed. Thoughtful people are beginning to realize this fact. The Wake county, N. C., jailer says: "The State prison is never going to pay until they put the "leather back." That is, he thinks that a revival of the whipping post is needed if the best labor results are to be got out of the convicts. The best sentiment of the nation is against the whipping post in penal institutions, although there are a few advocates of it in the North. Florida's experience with the whipping post in the lumber camps in the past three years, and the scandals growing out of it, led to legislation which may eliminate it from the penal system of the State. The whipping post is a relic of barbarism. Its revival is not needed. The whipping post in Delaware is a standing reproach. Andrew Jordan, thirty-seven years, a rail-road switchman at Memphis had an arm and leg cut off in attempting to board the front end of a switch engine. Two white ambulances were rushed to the scene but refused to take Jordan to a hospital, although importuned and jeered by onlookers. When an ambulance from a colored hospital arrived forty-five minutes after the accident the man had bled to death. Nothing could be more heartless than to allow a man to bleed to death in the way the white ambulance drivers did it. A grand jury might find those drivers guilty of manslaughter if it should go about the business in the proper spirit. Editorial Page of Negro History in the School Curriculum The JOURNAL AND GUIDE has frequently in the past directed the attention of its readers to the importance of a sufficient historical record of what the race has done in this country—in the thought, the industry and the wars,—for their own information and inspiration, and for the guidance of those, a numerous group, who do much writing on the race question and who draw freely upon imagination and prejudices when the facts are not accessible. We had this illustrated recently when General Robert Lee Bullard made a wholesale condemnation of Negro soldiers and their services in the World War. He was submerged by a flood of facts of record which those of us who knew were willing to gather together in proper formation, to which the white officers who had commanded our troops contributed in a very generous and conclusive way. We in this way secured a complete historical record of our part in the World War. In much the same way we got the record written into history of our splendid part in the Civil War and the Spanish American War. But we need a sufficient history of the race not only for general information and our protection and inspiration; we need a sufficient history for school purposes to be used generally in our schools; first in the schools controlled by the race or set apart and controlled by others for the race; and then and always a concerted effort should be made to have the history used in the public high schools and colleges. This latter will be difficult to accomplish, we believe, but we must strive to overcome the prevailing prejudices of those who control the public school system in the several states and who strangely enough do not think it good that we should have our own history taught us. The fact is they do not think we have made any history worth writing and teaching. Some of us know better than that and it is our business to inform the ignorance of those who doubt it. We are indebted to the Howard University Press for a copy or a monograph containing the main points of an address delivered before the Division and Allied High and Normal schools of Washington by Prof. Charles H. Wesley, Head of the Department of history of Howard University, on the subject, "Negro History in the School Curriculum." Prof. Wesley, in his extensive contacts and reading has found it "amazing that there should be such an immense amount of ignorance of the facts of history as they relate to the Negro group, and such a hero worship of the facts of history as they relate to other groups who live in America." There is really nothing amazing about it. We have not written the history and white persons have been too busy writing their own history to write ours for us. Prof. Wesley says: "I have examined about twenty-five text books in the field of American history—it could not be expected that there would be a great relation between Negro history and European history, for the Negro in Medieval and modern times has been almost a negligible factor in the history of Europe—but among the American history texts there were only two which made any other mention of Negroes than as a group of slaves and pauper free Negroes. Individual Negroes of merit are mentioned in none. Coming up under such a system, it is very apparent that Negroes cannot be expected to know anything of their past." The JOURNAL AND GUIDE has frequently in the past directed the attention of its readers to the importance of a sufficient historical record of what the race has done in this country—in the thought, the industry and the wars,—for their own information and inspiration, and for the guidance of those, a numerous group, who do much writing on the race question and who draw freely upon imagination and prejudices when the facts are not accessible.

Individual Negroes of merit are mentioned in none. Coming up under such a system, it is very apparent that Negroes cannot be expected to know anything of their past." When our children are crammed with history studies and realize that it is all a glorification of what other race groups have done, with not a paragraph about what their group has done, how can it have any other than depressing and discouraging influence upon them? And our grown-ups have the like feeling in reading the standard histories and biographies in which it is recorded that their white fellow-citizens have done everything to help and glorify themselves and the nation and that they have done nothing worthy of record. Of course the record is false, but it will remain so until we correct it. In his conquest of the Red Man of the Occident the white race only has written the history and a large part of it is in justification of his conquest and treatment of the subject people. The Indian did not write his side and a defense of himself, so we have none. It is largely that way in the matter of the enslavement of the Black Man in the Americas and the Islands of the West Indies and it will be that way until we write our own side and change it. The European conquest of Africa is proceeding in the same way. Prof. Wesley tells us a great deal more than we know, in a brief way, about the race and the necessity of getting the facts and traditions in historical shape. We need to sustain and encourage such work as Prof. --- Carter Woodson has done and is doing in this direction, and our thinkers will accomplish much by proceeding along the lines indicated by Prof. Wesley, whose splendid treatise we may republish in serial form in the JOURNAL AND GUIDE. Spirit of the Press What Price Glory? Contemplate, if you will, the consecrated response which our boys, even our girls, are making daily to Bullard's diabolical charge that our boys quivered when they faced death "over there." These are not war times, but peace is trying. The courage that braves the dangers of everyday is of the simple, fundamental sort. It is but a short while since Daincls, the Pullman porter, emulating the great English soldier Sir Philip Sydney, expired as he told those who brought succor to "take care of that little girl first." The days pass on and a Negro, Tom Lee, careless of the danger inherent in rescuing downing people, saves the lives of thirty-two of his white fellow citizens. In far-off Santa Barbara, where the aristocracy of a great nation plays and rests, an earthquake comes and a Negro is the voluntary hero. This Negro braves dangers where the ponderous waves of the Pacific wash our beloved shorts. Daniels died within carshot of the Atlantic. Lee labored in the South, the three of them proving that their courage and resourcefulness were native to the breed, that the thing that saves is a Negro trait wherever you find them. Easter Hill, a 12-year-old colored girl, saved the lives of many on a Baltimore and Ohio passenger train by discovering danger and giving the proper warning. Two boys, Edward and Langston Mitchell, just this past week, dove into the historic Monongahela and lost their lives trying to save Joseph H. Waters, a white lawyer, who wanted to die. This is the record of the race that Bullard calls cowardly. This is the daily chronicle of the papers. Is it for glory's sake that this tried race goes daily to death? At what a cost is such glory! It must be glorious to die for those who deny and persecute you. How large might be our measure of devotion in a land of true democracy! After our deeds of valor the individual Negro gets a kindly look of recognition and the virtue of the race is forgotten. Lee saved more than a score of white people, saved their lives and their insurance companies' money, yet so soon was his valor forgotten that it was with difficulty that enough money was secured to buy him a home. Easter Hill was given a measly one hundred dollars and modified praise. What price glory? Our glory is gained with the sacrifice of all that most men hold dear. Robbed of all things cherished by the spirit, we carry on. Let the lyncher slay, the overseer whip. Jim Crow us in every way and, because of that very divinity which shappus our ends, glory will still be ours because of the heroic sacrifices of our children and our children's children.

A Sad Story Memphis News Semitar To our mind the saddest story printed in Memphis in many a day was the report of the death of Andrew Jordan, 50. Negro switchman, who bled to death recently as two white ambulances, are said to have stood by refusing to take himi to a hospital. A Negro ambulance came after, a while, but the trainman had lost so much blood that he was dead before he reached the hospital. To our mind the saddest story printed in Memphis in many a day was the report of the death of Andrew Jordan, 50. Negro switchman, who bled to death recently as two white ambulances, are said to have stood by refusing to take him to a hospital. A Negro ambulance came after a while, but the trainman had lost so much blood that he was dead before he reached the hospital. A human life is a human life. Although Jordan's right arm and right leg had been severed, he might have survived had he received, proper medical attention in time. For more than 30 years Jordan had worked as a switchman. He deserved better treatment. Humanity should know no color line. When Tom Lee rescued 32 persons from drowning after the sinking of the Norman many spoke words of praise for his heroism. Some contributed money. Part of the community's debt to Tom Lee could have been paid by showing a little kindness to Andrew Jordan. We doubt if there is a white doctor in the city of Memphis who would not have willingly treated the injured trainman had he been in the vicinity. There ought to be a city ordinance compelling ambulance drivers to rush any accident victim to the hospital, regardless of his color, race or religion. We must be human. We recall at the time of the oil blast in North Memphis how some ambulances at first refused to convey Negroes to the hospital, but Capt. Will Lee stepped out and commanded them to do it, and be quick about it. It is too bad that a man of Captain Lee's caliber was not present when Andrew Jordan was injured.

The action of those ambulance drivers did not reflect the sentiment of Memphis. The present system of paying Negro teachers does not place a premium upon competency and thorough preparation. One often finds in the Negro public schools one teacher teaching a certain grade at one salary and another teaching the same grade at another salary. And often when application is made to secure a position to teach, the official employs the teacher who is willing to teach for the lowest salary regardless of the efficiency of said applicant. Thus the incompetent and poorly prepared teacher is able to secure a position by underbuilding the competent one.—Florida Sentinel. --- Book Review **WHITE AMERICA** " Published by the White America Society, Richmond, Va. pp. 404, price. $2.00.

BY WALTER JEREMIAH SCOTT The book "Sevier America", by Earnest Sevier Cox, can be hardly called a scientific work on the subject which it attempts to treat. It is composed of material gathered from every available source, much of which is irrelevant and unreliable, thrown together without regard to its orderly disposal and arrangement. The first three propositions presented in the introduction, and upon which the author bases his conclusions, constitute a series of false premises, which no scientific data has ever verified. We give these premises in the author's own words: 1. "The white race has founded all civilizations. 2. The white race remaining white has not lost civilization. 3. The white race become hybrid has not retained civilization." The obsession of mind which seized the author, causing him to endure hardships and to go to unusual lengths to observe conditions in almost every country of the globe in order to substantiate his claims, places before us the results of those efforts. The sweeping statement contained in the volume that the civilizations of Egypt, India, China, Mexico, and Peru, perished on account of amalgamation taking place between white and colored races of those countries is fanciful in the extreme when we consider that it is doubtful if white people ever inhabited the countries in question during the time the various civilizations represented were flourishing at their height. Of equal grotesqueness is the assumption that the civilizations of South Africa and Latin America are being imperiled because of the amalgamation of the races inhabiting those countries at the present time. The author in the course of the work gives us a great many problems arising from contact of white with colored which, he suggests, it is necessary to solve if civilization is to be preserved in all its vigor and pristine glory. Lacks Vitality The publication is lacking in vitality, whatever interest attaches to it, will be, because it may be considered as the fit and representative expression of a new school, lately arisen, of sentimental alarmists over the problem of race in the United States. It will be evident at the outset to those who read this printed matter that these same sentimental alarmists are endeavoring to form a trust that will extend its influence over all minor concerns of the same kind in every quarter of the globe which may be given to exhibiting similar wares to the general public. It will be further evident as the reader goes into the book that there is a want of sustained argument in the presentation of views adopted. This is due, largely to the author's inability (judging from the book) to reason logically, and failure to make a comprehensive survey of conditions which he claims to have investigated. It is mainly due, therefore, to this cause, that so many portions of the volume, other than the long quotations from the works of various authors, sink into more twaddle and harangue. This is especially noticeable when the writer is engaged in pressing his own reasons home to the reader. We may readily infer, all things being equal, that the present civilization is, indeed, in danger of deterioration, if a work like this from a so-called trained intellect can gain the public ear and pass muster as the genuine article. The writer greatly insists that monumental piles composed of stone and mortar constitute the guide as to the extent and height of civilization. We might point him to a safer and worthier criteria in suggesting that it is the general prevalence of benevolent ideas among a people and the number of illuminated minds standing out from and above the general mass that gauges the standard of any civilization. Fanciful and Grotesque In the earlier phases of the volume, the white race comes in for its share of criticism. Those whites who have caused colored offspring to come into existence are classified as subnormal. Having prepared the public mind for the reception of his pet scheme "repatriation of the Negro" as the only way civilization is to be preserved in the United States, since the United States is Satūrādāy, August 22, 1925 the only country on the face of the globe where civilization has survived contact with the Negro, Mr. Cox proceeds to give us the details of how the program of settling the Negro in his new home shall be carried out. It is unnecessary to say that these details are in keeping with the general tenor of the work in which the fanciful and grotesque abound throughout its pages. According to Mr. Cox, if the Negro will not go of his own accord, he is to be forced to go against his will. A new Acadian episode is to take place in the history of the United States by and with the consent and advice of Mr. Cox. The author leaves us to infer that it will be more humane and enlightened in its execution than the removal of the French colonists from Nova Scotia in 1755, since the American army draft system is to be used, and quite naturally, of course, the men and women will be corralled in camps preparatory to the departure. Glaring Absurdities One of the many glaring absurdities of the book may be shown when the author expresses the conviction that he was struck with awe at the long and continued duration of Egyptian civilization, a period placed by some writers as extending from three to five thousand years, and then attempting to explain to his readers that amalgamation of races was the cause of its decay, when in reality no satisfactory proof has been offered to show that there was a time in which amalgamation ever took place in Egypt between white and colored, if a strictly pure Caucasian race ever trod the soil of that country, during the time of its ancient development. We have no reason to doubt Mr. Cox's sincerity in his writings along this line. We believe, however, that the production of this work is due more to an obsession of mind running in a peculiar direction than to an ardent desire to enlighten the public as to the promotion of civilization through carefully arranged scientific data and applying that data to practical conditions existing today. The examples of Egypt, India, and other countries, whose civilizations are ages old, are far-fetched when applied to conditions which obtain today. In Mr. Cox's attempt to construct a new theory as to the origin of civilization and to establish rules for its permanence, such eminent authorities as Guizot and Buckle seem never to have been consulted. By such a course, the author notifies us that he and his coadjutors are about to blaze a new pathway across the interminable and entangled forest for the future guidance of posterity. As they proceed, they will waymark it with "hybrids" and "remnants" "dead civilizations," "imperiled civilizations," and the like, so that they who run may read. Under the weight of this great altruistic service he is about to render humanity, Mr. Cox omitted, purposely or not purposefully, from his repertoire of gathered data, some of the important things that would have helped him to reach sound conclusions regarding civilization in general. In the scientific fiction (I so denominate it, since according to Mr. Cox, it is presumably scientific, and since in the absence of verification as such, it must have been imagined) he has presented to us for consideration, he seems to forget that civilization has its rise, growth and decay, as does everything else existing in time and space, and that, while soil and climate are large contributing factors, civilization of itself wears down the race that produces it to a state of enervation of mind and body. The seeds of decay are planted along with the seeds of advancement, and when the accomplishment has reached its height, decay sets in. He has drawn little from the history of civilization either past or present, but his work exhibits that he has drawn much from ethnological writers on the subject of the division of races. Lacking In Historical Accuracy That the torch of civilization is caught up from age to age by one race or another and thus kept burning, that it is the exclusive property of no one race, seems never to have occurred to the author in his zeal to attribute its origin to one race only. He seems to have forgotten that when Eastern civilization was at its height at one time, Western civilization, if the name of civil- "Up From Monkey Or Down From God" Dr. Charles Satchel Morris Talks on Evolution forgiveness, and daily brittle feels that he is God's elk.

Shuler, geologist Harvard University, writing International Quarterly in 1903 says, "It begins to be dent to naturalists that the win hypothesis is still easily unverified." Prof. H. Haynes, leading Americanologist, says, "the evidence for antiquity of man is purelyulative, no human remains being as yet been found either miocene or phocene strata." William Andrews is of the opinion that the "ice age" thoughegering still in Alaska and Canada is not farther away than 5,000 to 7,000 years ago. Mitchell, the great geologist, "Man has no place till after reign of ice. The very nings of our race are still in sight." This accords the Bible that makes man journ on earth about 6,000 years.

Great Opponents of Evelution Leading geologists, palentologists, biologists, physiologists, zoologists and experts in fossiology of all the leading nations of the earth, America, Canada, Great Britian, France, Germany and Russia openly scout and reject with scorn the idea that the guess of Darwin that we came from little, tiny, eyeless, eurial legless, brainless single sexless cells and have been crawling up through millions of species of water and land insects, bugs, creeping things, reptiles, beasts, monkeys till finally we appear as the lordly man, analyzer of the stars, harness if the lightning. If this were so, no wonder Darwin would say, writing to Louis Aggassiz, "with me the horrid doubt always arises whether the convictions of man's mind which has been developed from the mind of the lower animals are of any value or at all trustworthy." Would anyone trust in the convictions of a monkey's mind; if there are convictions in such a mind, a commentary on evolution. First, they take the whole mind God gave man and degrade if by tracing it not up to God but back to the monkey; then they say since the monkey has been "monkeying" with their minds they cannot trust its process. And they call this science and want us to throw away God, great noble revelation of how we really came to what we are for "Darwin's guess." Again, Darwin says, "Asa Gray, I am bewildered * * * I feel most deeply the subject; "Evolution;" is too profound for the human mind. A dog might as well speculate on the intellect of Newton. Let each man hope and believe what he can. I well remember my feelings at that time (in a Brazilian forest) that there is more in man than the breath of his body. But now the grandest scenes would not cause any such feelings and convictions to arise in my mind. I am like a man color-blind." This is what evolution did for the man who invented it. So does it do violence to every mind that accepts it. Here is a boy reated in a Christian home. He learns. "Now I lay Me." then the Lord's Prayer. He is converted, joins the church and prays for ization can be given to the savage and barbarous condition of central and northern Europe of that day, was dead as the body of Hector being dragged around the walls of Troy by the godlike Achilles. He seems to forget the spurt given to Western Europe in awakening her to the attainment of a higher civilization than she possessed, from contact with Eastern peoples in its attempt to regain the Holy Land to the Christians. A passage that cannot fail to move the merriment of the readers of Mr. Cox's book, is the one in which he declares Dr. DuBois, Booker T. Washington, Kelley Miller, and other distinguished Negroes, to be other than Negroes, and that, if they were white men they would be obscure, just as if men who advocate the cause of equality before the law, and men who are acknowledged leaders in the educational world could obscure anywhere. It is very probable that if they were white men, they would be more prominent than they are. We may sum the book up as an effort to stir up race prejudice and passion, while pretending to be a frank and fair discussion of the race problem in America and throughout the world. The book may be said to be an ingenious contrivance of specious arguments with the end in view of stirring up race hatred in this country, a condition which, if allowed to take place, will do more to retard the advancement of civilization in this favored spot than all the fears and dreams to which Mr. Cox has given vent in his recent publication, "White America."
