H. WALKER. Military Police Withdrawn It has been explained by persons admitted to be familiar with the vice situation that in recent months military police as formerly were seen policing the boundaries of sections known to be the rendezvous of vice divis, and forbidding the entry thereto of sailors, have been withdrawn on complaints of merchants, who felt that the presence of this patrol deterred sailors from frequenting the sections and incidentally hurt the business of merchants in the military policed area. Withdrawing of this military patrol, it has been said, explains who sailors are again frequenting the immoral resorts in Smith, St. Paul, Bute streets and Brambleton avenue, as well as other places uptown, in such large numbers. The presence of white men and their freedom of movements in these vice areas has stirred considerable comment among those of the colored people who vividly recall the vigorous activity of the police in closing the Lincoln Hotel (Continued on page 2.)

While more than a hundred guests including socially prominent people of the city danced to the strains of a jazz orchestra at an elaborate, but exclusive party and danced Friday night of last week at the Tent's Hall, on Church street, their host, Fred Jones, 23 years old, of 425 Bute street, was lounging in the city jail, where he had been lodged a few hours earlier on a charge of housebreaking and burglary. Jones was arrested by officers from Portsmouth, assisted by Detectives Stanley and Williams of the Norfolk police force a few minutes before nine o'clock, shortly after he arrived at the hall, where he was to receive his invited guests. He was charged with entering the home of F. R. Cord, Argyle apartments, Portsmouth, on the night of July 25, and stealing a pistol, ring and other jewelry. After a night in the Norfolk jail, he was transferred to Portsmouth, where he is at present held under $500.00 bond.

Gresham, Supervisor of Negro Education, and Jackson Davis, of General Education Board Support Idea. BOTH WRITE JOURNAL AND GUIDE ON SUBJECT That there is at present held by some of the most prominent officials of public education in the South, particularly those who have to do with Negro education, a very pronounced as well as promising opinion favorable to the teaching of Negro history in the public schools, is evidenced in recent statements to this paper by Dr. N. C. Newbold. Supervisor of Negro Education for North Carolina; Dr. W. D. Gresham, Supervisor of Negro Education for Virginia, and Mr. Jackson Davis of Richmond, General Field Agent for the General Education Board. Statement of Officials Recently there was published in the Journal and Guide Mr. Newbold's statement which set out his opinion as to the teaching of this subject in the public schools. In this connection he said: "If some far-seeing Negro historian who has both broad knowledge and broad sympathy can be secured to write a history giving facts I feel quite sure such a book would find its place in the Negro schools, especially do I think that is true in this State." On the same subject last week Dr, W. D. Gresham wrote the Journal and Guide: (Continued on Page Five) Frank Pender Arrested On Street When Miss Elizabeth Johnson Recognizes Him And Calls Officers. Frank Pender was arrested Wednesday afternoon about 5 o'clock on the streets by Patrolman Johnson and Detectives Spencer and Nowitzky and charged with attempted criminal assault, upon the instigation of Miss Elizabeth Johnson, 646 Goff street. Pender is charged with having entered a window of the house at 1406 Anne street on the morning of August 31, about 7 o'clock and at the point of gun attempted to criminally assault Miss Johnson, who was at that time living at that address. He was frustrated in his attempt by the young woman's screams, it is alleged. Wednesday afternoon Miss Johnson while walking along the streets saw and recognized her alleged assailant. She followed him until an opportunity to summon an officer presented itself. Officer Johnson was called, who arrested the man and turned him over to Detectives Nowitzky and Spencer. Miss Johnson was positive in her identification of Pender as the man who attempted to attack her. Attacked Aged Woman After being taken to police headquarters, Pender was lined up to be looked over by Mrs. Ellen G. Lewis, 964.614 Mainey street, a upon police believe he attempted a criminal assault and robbed of $9.00 at the point of a pistol on the same day Miss Johnson was attacked. Mrs. Lewis was not so sure in her identification, because, she said, he was not wearing a black derby as the man who robbed and tried to assault her was wearing when the incident occurred. She was quite strong in her belief, however, that Pender was the man. Mrs. Lewis is an aged and afflicted woman. She told the police that the man who robbed her was prevented in carrying out his other designs on account of her afflictions on account of her accomplishing his purpose. Nevertheless, with his pistol, he forced her to turn over to him her money, $9.00. Pender is at present being held without bail, while detectives are bending every effort to clear up the circumstances of both alleged attempts at criminal assaults through his conviction.

C.-Setting a trap to catch the man whom he suspected of being intimate with his wife cost Dock Brewer of this city his own life Tuesday night, September 15, and resulted in sending Henry Johnson, the man he caught, to the hospital precariously wounded. Both men engaged in a sudden pistol duel precipitated by Brewer's suddenly encountering Johnson in Brewer's back yard conversing with the former's wife. The dead man was shot through the chest after he had opened fire on the man who killed him. Johnson was hit twice by bullets from Brewer's pistol, but whipped out his own gun and fired in return. Johnson was shot through the left arm and side, his lower limbs being paralyzed. Victim of His Trap Investigation disclosed that the dead man suspected Johnson of intimacy with his wife and planned to break up the affair. He left home Tuesday morning ostensibly for Durham. He returned home that night and found Johnson with his wife as suspected and opened fire. Evidence before the coroner's jury disclosed that Johnson went to the Brewer home Tuesday night after receiving a note from the dead man's wife. Both were talking on the back porch when Brewer appeared on the scene and the pistol duel began. Johnson was captured within a few hours following the shooting. GROW The News-star Norfolk Journ during the months BASCOM SLEMP PAYS H. LINCOLN JOHNSON TRIBUTE Former Virginia Republican Congressman and ex-Secretary to the President, Jauds Virtues of One-Time Foe. Washington, D. C., Sept. 23 —The late Henry Lincoln Johnson "succeeded only by overcoming unnatural difficulties." says C. Bascom Slemp, former secretary to the President, who has fought within the Republican party both with and against Mr. Johnson. In 1920 they opposed each other. Mr. Slemp sought the elimination of the Negro from the councils of the Republican party in the South. Two years later when he became the secretary to President Coolidge, Mr. Johnson made the statement that Mr. Slemp had undergone a change of heart and was all right on the race question. At the Cleveland convention in 1924 Mr. Slemp produced a letter from the late President Harding saying that a mistake had been made in ousting the Johnson Republicans in Georgia and setting up a "billywhite" organization in their place. Mr. Slemp's Tribute Today Mr. Slemp paid the following tribute to Mr. Johnson: "Henry Lincoln Johnson had to overcome in his life what Bismark called the imponderables. He succeeded only by overcoming unnatural difficulties. He had to fight to secure what naturally should have come to him as it had to others. "He was a man of great persuasive powers, of magnetic personality and undoubtedly the most prominent political factor of his race during his quarter of a century of active effort. "He awakened my sympathy for himself and his cause because he was always appealing for a higher right of self-expression for his race. He succeeded where others failed because he exercised great tast, worked without friction and always made friends. His taking away is untimely and with his friends I mourn his loss."

The fate of the Norfolk segregation ordinance adopted on August 25th will be determined when the New Orleans ordinance, which closely resembles the Norfolk measure reaches the supreme court of the United States, to which it is being carried by the Louisiana branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. If the supreme court rules against the law, as it did in 1917 in the case of Buchanan vs Warley, carried up from Louisville, it will invalidate the Norfolk ordinance just as it did the one that was in operation at the time Louisville measure was declared unconstitutional. The Norfolk ordinance reads in part as follows: Section 1. That whenever the building inspector shall have notice or information that any person whomsoever proposes to construct a house for Negroes in a white community or portion of the municipality inhabited by white people, or a house for white persons in a Negro community, or portion of the municipality inhabited by Negroes, he shall not issue a building permit for the said house, except upon a written consent of a majority of the persons of the opposite race inhabiting such community, or portion of city to be affected. Section 2. That it shall be unlawful for any white person to hereafter establish a home residence on any property located in a Negro community, or portion of the municipality inhabited by Negroes, or for any Negro to establish home residence on any property located in a white community, or portion of the municipality inhabited by white people, except upon the written consent of a majority of the persons of the opposite, race inhabiting such community, or portion of the city to be affected; the aforesaid written consent to be filed with the City Manager. Fines and imprisonment are provided as penalty for violation of the ordinance. A four-year intensive campaign against illiteracy is sponsored by the Interior Department. Bureau of Education, in order to reduce the number of illiterates before the 1930 census. WALTER COHEN RUM CHARGES FALL THROUGH Special Government Agents Sent From Washington Find Charges Purely of A Circumstantial Nature. Findings of special agents sent by the President to New Orleans to investigate the charges upon which a Federal grand jury recently indicted Walter Cohen, Comptroller of Customs for the port of New Orleans with 44 others, alleged to have been involved in a gigantic illicit rum conspiracy, are understood to relieve Cohen of culpable complicity in the alleged conspiracy, according to reports from Washington. It is not believed that bureau officials in Washington ever entertained serious suspicions of Cohen's guilt, which was evidenced by their refusal to suspend him from office following his indictment. Cohen's part in the conspiracy was alleged to have been to "tip off" the movements of Government rum cruisers to the syndicate of organized bootleggers. Charges Circumstantial The charges against him were found to be purely of a circumstantial nature, according to press reports from Washington and not of sufficient weight to merit further prosecution. Immediately following Cohen's indictment the President personally directed that special agents be sent to New Orleans to make a thorough investigation of the charges. It is the report based on the findings of these special agents, which it is understood absolves Cohen from criminality in connection with the operations of the alleged syndicate of bootleggers. White Women Get Tar And Feathers Tarring and feathering of white women by white men whose displeasure they have incurred, is still a popular pastime in certain sections of civilized America, according to intermittent press reports. The latest reported of these episodes occurred in Jacksonville, Fla., when a mob of 150 men, police say, seized two women, who were walking toward town from the city prison, where they had been sentenced to serve 30-day terms on disorderly conduct charges, took them to a secluded spot and tarred and feathered them. The women, police say, were brought back to town and let out of an automobile on a downtown street, clad only in gunny sacks. ASHEVILLE MOB TRIED TO LYNCH THE WRONG MAN Prominent White Men State That Accused Was At Work Under Their Charge At The Time of Alleged Attack. NORFOLK NEWSPAPER MAKES STRONG COMMENT It is reported here that two prominent white men have made the statements that Alvin Mansel, the Negro arrested at Asheville, North Carolina Saturday and suspected of having criminally assaulted a young white woman earlier in the day, was at least two miles from the scene of the attack at the moment it occurred and working under their charge. Saturday night a mob of several hundred white men stormed the jail and searched every cell in quest of Mansel so as to stage a lynching party, but officers had spirted the prisoner to Charlotte. Thirty alleged members of the mob have been indicted on charges of rioting, and all but seven of these have been arrested and the Sheriff is confident that they will be quickly apprehended. The Norfolk Virginian-Pilot, commenting editorially on the incident in its issue of September 24, presents a striking contrast with the attitude assumed by Missouri newspapers on the recent lynching of Will Mitchell in that State, when a number of those newspapers virtually eulogized the mob and expressed sentiments favorable to lynch-law by declaring that in such cases there would always be lynching. It subsequently turned out that Mitchell had not attacked a white woman, but had thrashed her escort, a man alleged to have been a member of a cattle stealing ring, with whom the lynched man had had a quarrel. In reference to the Asheville affair the Virginian-Pilot said: PORTRAIT OF A MOB "In Asheville, North Carolina, last week, a mob stormed the jail in which a Negro accused of criminal assault was supposed to be confined. A prudent sheriff had removed the man, and the mob did no more than liberate some other prisoners. Incidentally, reputable white men have now come forward to testify that the Negro suspect was actually at work under their eyes two miles from the scene of the crime at the moment of its perpetration. The prudence of the sheriff saved the State of North Carolina from the disgrace of murdering an innocent man under the guise of wreaking merited vengeance on a criminal. "But the Asheville jail officials did more than save an innocent man's life. They have issued an interesting description of the mob. They say (Continued on Page 3) WEEK'S ECHOES FROM THE MOBS Mississippi New Albany, Miss., Sept. 21—A coroner's jury which investigated the lynching of J. P.

North Carolina Ashville, N. C.—A mob stormed the jail here Saturday in an effort to procure a Negro, who was alleged to have criminally assaulted a young woman. Officers had spirited the prisoner out of town, but the mob would not disperse until a committee of its members had been permitted to search every cell in the jail. Atchison, Kan., Sept. 14—Sheriff Ben Federson slept in a chair in front of Negro prisoner's door and defied would-be lynchers to storm the county jail in an effort to get to Melynin Bailey.

Borland Promises (Continued from Page One) Pope, in jail just a few years ago, and putting its proprietor, John on charges which grew out of the alleged co-mingling of whites and blacks in his hotel and cabaret. Conditions hot a great deal dissimilar from those that were charged against the Lineino Hotel exist in certain uptown sections almost daily, it is complained, in that white sailors make a practice of seeking out these Negro dives and Negro prostitutes. Not only is this condition noticed in the streets already named, but Wide street, corner of Olney road is notorious for this sort of thing, particularly on Saturday nights. It is expected however, with Col. Borland's assistance that the police will take particularly notice of the situation in the future and that an almost complete rent for these gangs of prostitutes and their immoral con sorts will soon be in order.

Represented activity on the tier of the solicitors is expected to in evidence next week, after all patients will have had sufficient to map out their offensives and launch their full force into the tier.

In other words, the impious, chivalric gentlemen trapped in defending the honour of Southern womanhood are partly identified as a gang of drunken jailbirds. This bucketful of icy truth finished in the face of a public taxonomic by false tradition more sobering than many prosecutions. The Asheville mob undoubtedly was pretty much like all other lynching mobs. Drunks and jailbirds—low-patients and thin-wits—there is the type of citizenship that does our lynching for us. The sooner we quit sentimentizing mobs and see them what they see, are minions of the devil out to serve their master, the sooner we shall proceed to put them where they belong. in the attitude of the North China authorities also presents a contrast to the Missouri morities relative to these mobs Missouri mob was photo- phed, yet, none of its members identified and no arrests made though they killed their man and indictments have been re- d in the Asheville mob case 23 arrests made, yet there no photographs and neither there any killing done.

Hobbs to present the speaker of the evening, Rev. F. W. Black, of the Metropolitan Baptist Church, of Portsmouth, Rev. Black's sermon was of inspiration and indeed timely. Mrs. S. A. Hobbs, president Missionary Circle; Rev. A. Hobbs, pastor. At the hour of service, Rev. R. H. Bowling, spoke briefly of his attending the National Baptist Convention in Baltimore. He commended highly the work of the convention, especially the work of the Foreign Mission Board. He chose for his text, John 5:8 and preached a very powerful sermon, subject, "Jesus and the Psalctic." Everybody most thoroughly enjoyed the discourse. At the conclusion one man, came forward and confessed Christ as his personal Savior. Immediately following the sermon several candidates were baptized. In the afternoon quite a crowd returned at 3:30 for Holy Communion. At night a large audience heard another one of the series of sermons Rev. Bowling Is preaching. His subject was "Theology's True Place", in reference to text, Acts 17:23. This was informing and motivating. The Sunday school teachers were greeted with large numbers in their respective classes. Superintendent Watkins outlined the work for the fall, calling special attention to the Union S. S. parade to be held October 4th. The B. Y. P. U., both senior and junior were largely attended and helpful programs rendered. NEW PASTOR TAKES CHARGE AT SHILOH Rev. V. V. K.

A large number of teachers and scholars of the Sunday school, after an interesting lesson, listened intently to Dr. Stokes' lecture. The church members confidently expected to make a splendid progress under this able and promising minister. B. N. D. H. conferred at 6:30 p. B. J. P. G. convened at 8:30 p.m. with Miss E. E. Johnson, the president, presiding. The topic was discussed by many and the orchestra rendered several fine selections. Night services began with the singing of choice selections by the male choir. A large crowd was out to hear the pastor in his initial sermon to his new charge. Rev. Stokes explained that he knew that some of his predecessors at Shiloh had greater oratorical ability than he, but said none could outlive him for God and man. He thanked the congregation for the honor of pastoring it. JUNIOR B. Y. P. U. OF FIRST BAPTIST Meet the Junior B. Y. P. U. at 5 p. m., this Sunday at the First Baptist Church.

Dr. Drake, in a few remarks gave a brief history of Lambert's pt. as he had known it for the past twenty years. He spoke of the continued progress of the people. The growth of the school under Miss Constance Fuller, from two teachers to ten or twelve, the growth of the school from a two room inadequate building to a large modern brick school building; and how thru the Patrons League children were kept in school; how the brothels and dens have given place to a better citizenship; how the small, one room up and two room houses have given way for the modern homes owned and being bought by the people themselves.

Minor Leagues close before the Majors, Ed Bolden's triple champions of the Eastern Colored League have arranged a three game series with the Jersey City Internationals. Saturday, Sept. 26, the Jerseys play at Hildale Park and the following day Sunday, Sept. 27 the Darby Daisies travel to Jersey City and play the Skeeters a double header at the Jersey City International League Park. The Hildale team has been going great guns this season, in fact it is one of the best years that the Darby aggregation has experienced and the fans are always anxious to see the colored boys stack up against the white league teams. The Hildale pitching staff is conceded to be the best in colored ranks, with Currie, Red Ryan, Script Lee and Nip Winters, Phil Cockrell, Ruble Bullet Campbell. The Skeeters will have to battle with this array of twirlers who have blazed a path through the best clubs in the colored circuit. Effectiveness on the offense is another department where the Hilldale team shows no weakness. Big George Carr, Bizz Mackey, Clint Thomas, and Judy Johnson pack a terrific punch with the willow and the rest of the gang have to be reckoned with. Carr, without doubt is the sensation of the Eastern circuit this season, the big fellow has clubbed out 25 home runs and played his position in failless style. Paul Stevens, the Hilldale shortstop will have an opportunity to show his wares against Moe Berg, who will play short for the Skeeters. Berg has just been sold to the Chicago White Sox for a fat sum and will report next season. Stevie" is known everywhere that colored clubs perform and famous for his ground covering ability. "Snooks" Dowd, the second sacker for the Jerseys is the leading base stealer of the International League and Lena Styles, the former Athletic Player, will cover first base, because Red Holt who played that position through the season was sold to Connie Macks Athletics and is finishing the season with the Philadelphia Americans. BOFFMAN STOP WING HIM ON HIS FORTY—FIVE YARD SPRINT AGAINST UNION — HIS ONLY THREAT IN THAT GAME HE WAS THERE! YES—BUT HE AVENT NOW! JAZZ BYRD "THE FUTTING GHOST OF THE GRID IRON" THE RAN HIS OPPONENTS DIZZY Local High Opens Season With Bright Prospects Jazz Byrd, "The Flitting Ghost of the Gridiron" was last year's most brilliant and colorful performer on the football fields. He furnished a thrill in every game and drew large crowds to see his spectacular sprints that made his opponents dizzy. Byrd's presence will be greatly missed from the gridiron this season, unless he elects to go back to school and take his graduate work. As said in the beginning, Jazz Byrd was the most brilliant and colorful knight of the gridiron last year, more than that, he was one of the most selffilating performers that has come to the fore in some BY P. BERNARD YOUNG, JR. With somewhat rearranged but equally strong team, from early season indications, the "Fighting Bookers" of Washington high school, undergoing rigorous training each week-day afternoon under the competent eyes and directions of Coach Queen Wilson and his assistant, "Teddy" Boyd, will open the season Friday, Sept. 25 against the Royal A. C. a local football team of reputed formidable strength. The schedule released by Coach Wilson is undoubtedly the most pretentious ever undertaken by the local school and includes teams from the District of Columbia, North Carolina, Maryland and Virginia. Seven of the eleven scheduled contests will be played in Norfolk, the other four being played in Richmond, Washington, Ranooke, and Elizabeth City, N. C. Despite the loss of three outstanding stars, Boyd, All-State end, Smith, All-State center, and Coble, second team All State quarter and captain, the outlook for a winning team is good. Coble is casting his lot with Wilberforce University: Smith with College of the City of New York; and Boyd is still in the local high, but due to a serious operation last year is unable to play. He is helping Coach Wilson whip the team into shape. When seen during the week, the squad numbered about forty. Several new candidates are expected in a few days and along with them will report some of last season's regulars and alternates. Coach Wilson is predicting nothing definite, except that he is going to put a fighting team on the field. He constantly reminds the candidates in practice that if they want to make Washington's team they must fight—and they were fighting from the beginning of practices until darkness forced a cessation of activities. That is why they are called "Fighting Bookers." The teams ran through their signals with snap and precision. Every play went as planned—and if it did not, one of the coaches pounced down upon the hapless fellows and immediately things went with clock-like precision. It looked good to the large number of onlookers and even the coaches had to smile now and then. But the going is to be tough That is a settled fact. To be able to produce victories the team must make every minute of the practice periods count. Any lstup, accord to the coaches, will be disastrous and any player who lets up is liable to find himself replaced time. His last starts, sudden stops and take off in another direction made him a menace to all teams he opposed. Many football stars have come and gone and each one had his own style of play, but very few, if any, possessed the individual and unique style of Byrd who proved to be a whirling dervish of the gridiron as well as a "Fitting Ghost of the Gridiron" as he was so ably dubbed. His methods were somewhat unenoyant and battling. He was, not of the broken field type that slips, slides, sidesteps, dukes, dodges and finally scouts through a field that has been completely scattered. Byrd started like a by a candidate who is keen for the tray. One of the biggest jobs the mentors have is the developing and choice of a capable center to replace Smith. Dunning and Tucker loom as possibilities. Some of the players who will probably figure in the varsity lineup are Bibbins, Thomas J. Williams, R. Tolliver, and Teamer;ends; Faison, Hart, Mitchell and Ferebee, tackles; Poole, Mayfield, Coble, and Holmes, guards; Dunning and Tucker, centers; Johnson, Ross, Sread and Tolliver, quarterbacks; Nottingham, Tynes, L. Williams, Ransome, O. m o h u n d r o, Southall, Wilkins, and Coltran, backs. There are others; and the d finite lineup will not be kept until after several games have been played. But from these a fine team should come, if they keep fighting like "Fighting Bookers." Schedule Sept. 25, Royal A.

A., declared the baseball season of 1925 closed and awarded the pennant to the Hilldale Club which had established a very prominent lead long before the season neared its end and maintained it until the curtains fell. Rube Foster, big gun in the Western League was present and dates set for the world's series, and October 1, was scheduled as the day of beginning with Hilldale playing in, either St. Louis or Kansas City. The series will be handled by two commissioners and contesting club owners, Rube Foster and Charles Spedderd will represent West and East respectively. It is claimed that the series will be played on the same basis as last year, but with more economical measures. NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE By Johnson JAZZ BYRD "THE FLITTING GHOST OF THE GRID IRON" JOHNSON flash to the side line pulling the entire field and with a suddenness that he only possessed himself, came to a complete stop, do a reverse and was off like unchained and greased lightning in another direction with his foes non-plussed behind him. These tactics gained many precious yards for his teammates and scored many touchdowns. Byrd and his style is without a peer. Being a 10-second man, his pace was much faster than the average football player and having the fine coordination of mind and body, was able to stop on a dime and have nine cents change to spare.

JOHNSON, JR. The Norfolk Athletic Club is being off the rough edges in preparation for the scheduled game league with the Elks Athletic Club of Portsmouth. It is being rumored that, the South team is working very hard and overtime to take the feature of the local eleven. Jim, formerly of the Norfolk Athletic Club is in charge of the addition of the Elk team and is believed that it will be on edge Monday's fray, which will be a initial game of the semi-professional football season here. The Norfolk club has been putting in good work during the past weeks and expects to be in good form for the opening match. Which to get a little on his material, men have constantly relied on practices and all of them give a chance to show their football qualifications before the first of the heavy campaigning is The first game is considered one of a test game than anything Portsmouth is not regarded a tough foe, in spite of the fact the two cities are and have been bitter rivals. The local squad had an easy time last year in trouncing the Portsmouth Nevertheless, this game will be by any means, be taken lightly it is realized that Norfolk will be to her best against the aggregation from across the pond. She has always been the case. Portsmouth always works exceptionally hard before a combat wintk and for this reason a live-time can be expected when the little starts these eleven on their points to the fact that the Norfolk Athletic Club be almost an entirely rebuilt organization this season. A number of the old men have not relied for assignments yet. Some them are out of town and are expected to be in harness this the team ought to fare well the preliminary training is over. The new men are to their work with interest are showing plenty grit and ing spirit. The squad ought at least, as good has last and if things pan out well, improvement over last year is in evidence. Public Education (Continued from Page One) I have been thinking about this issue for some time and am of the opinion that Negroes should use the salient facts about men of their own race who contributed to the welfare and progress of the Nation. Hence, I would be glad to see some fair, trusted writer of your race proclaim a book that could be used as a auxiliary reader in our Negro schools and which, of course would subject to the rules and regulations of the State Board of Education governing text books." Mr. Jackson Davis shows a lively interest in this matter in his letter to the Journal and Guide under the date of September 12, in which he said: "I have read your editorials and comments by Prof. Wesley and Newblow, in regard to Negro history in the school curriculum, in growing interest in this subject, encouraging A. Knowles of the history of achievement in industry, literature, art and all other phases. Life must form the basis of true life and inspiration for Negro youth." Interest in this subject is by no means confined to colored students, in the many years students in the two colleges of the South have enrolled in classes for study of lifegro. The recent book by W. D. Weatherford, "The Nebraska to America," was intended to meet the need for more comprehensive text, and it has favourably received. The number of books is steadily increasing and the number of persons of both races who are similarly急 to get at the fact student any sort of propaganda is one of the best signs of progress in the matter of race resumes. Lynchburg, Va., Sept. 19—With the large number of new men and Dragons who have answered the call of the Old White and Blue, summary sees a successful future. Each E. P.

The Lawrenceville boys are taking to their work with a vip and the mentors are predicting, this early, a formidable St. Paul It is, yet, too early to do anything in the line of predicting on the Hampton-St. Paul clash which is scheduled for the local park, but from indications, it seems that both elevens will wage hot battles in the preliminary games in preparation for the struggle here. Each squad will no doubt have some games tacked away under their wings before wending their way seaward. The Tiger aggregation is determined to lick Hampton in the presence of Norfolk fans to average itself for the victory; it dropped here last year to the New siders. The coaches express the utmost confidence in building up a team that will eclipse that of last year in spite of the loss of some insignia men, and a team that will be in the running for association honors when all is said in done.

A number of letter men have returned to the fold and if that has much weight the team will come out somewhere near the top, not the top. St. Louis has suffered a new and promising material has shown up and from what was left from last year's squad ought to be a fairly good nucleus from which to build this season's eleven.

FROM THE PRESS BOX Somebody's Afraid that a little break in the atmosphere practices of a football squad, and dart around the corner. Well, it has to be, whichever the case may be, to dart in the preamble. We had a good not enough to make a real conscience and that's that. Right of last week, a local squad of their training grinds, but on a numbers put in their appearance. Then if somebody is afraid of water, they should not be afraid of water, especially the kind of knickknack players do not care we are many times when it is also necessary, how can one expect to prepare to do so? How can any that particular issue demands some examples that do not practice because of elles well in a game in rainy weather difficulty in wet and soggy atmospheric under such conditions is he a situation. Our coaches who when there has been and wet the training fields to go to work, accustoming them to meet sooner or later. Perfection and the most trying conditions and adversities will never reach that It doesn't seem that a little break in the atmosphere should be enough to hinder the practices of a football squad, and even more so when a game is just around the corner. Well, it has been my pleasure or displeasure, whichever the case may be, happening as stated in the preamble. We had a good bit of rain during last week, but not enough to make a real conscientious squad stay behind and that's that. Wednesday night of last week, a local squad was scheduled to go through one of their training grinds, but on account of a little rain, only four members put in their appearance. That doesn't look good. It seems as if somebody is afraid of water. Persons who put water on themselves should not be afraid of somebody else putting a little water on them, especially in a case of the kind in question. It might be true that football players do not care to play in rainy weather, but there are many times when it is altogether necessary. And when it is necessary, how can one expect to cope with a situation when he is not prepared to do so? How can anyone expect to meet the issue, when that particular issue dehands some special qualification? Football teams that do not practice because of a little rain, cannot handle themselves well in a game in rainy weather. The most skillful player has difficulty in wet and soggy atmosphere conditions and only by having practiced under such conditions is he able by any means to cope with the situation. There are some coaches who, when there has been no rain for some time, wet the kails and wet the training fields to get them good and soggy and put their men to work, accustoming them to the things that they are surely to meet sooner or later. Perfection comes, only the practice under all and the most trying conditions and those who shirk because of a few adversities will never reach that high plane of persistence. Football Officials Association at approach of the 1925 football season a situation that needs some conscience was touched on during the latter that is a football official's associs of this kind would help a great deal. Local teams would be assured, at all the arbiters in games, men who would impartial decisions, interpretations. As it is now, things are do not times teams do not know when they play in games. There are a number of important to act as football officials, I running, they do not wish to lose to occupations to bother to bother to occupation and at certain times inside a day or night to come in, intemper rules and do many dey to speed up games. All office would work in games at regular would be equally distributed among official would receive very near the season. This thing could be easily be derived be measurable. Youth and Some More Fights, unmerited that somebody is thinking across the pond. Those fellows over few fans that witness unenishment, in fact they are gluttones that have been held in Portsmouth at never expected to be fooled by I brand of leather pushing they have to lose of its relative weight bum fights that fans would ever be staged in, They is something very deep. I can only attribie someone who think they are proud themselves. They need to take promoting, if such a course is available in is great need of someone With the fast approach of the 1925 football season brings to my attention, another situation that needs some consideration and it is a situation that was touched on during the latter part of the last pigeonskin session, that is a football official's association for Norfolk. An organization of this kind would help a great deal in standardizing officiating here. Local teams would be assured, at all times in securing competent men to be arbiters in games, men who would be fully capable of rendering fair, and impartial decisions, interpreting rules and deciding most questions. As it is now, things are done in a hapazian manner and many times teams do not know when they have men who are qualified to work in games. There are a number of men in Norfolk who are fully competent to act as football officials, but due to the way things have been running, they do not wish to lose the time from their professions and occupations to bother with the games. An organization could be formed and certain times, at least once in each week, set aside to come together to discuss intricate questions, with rules and do many other things that the team may speed up games. All officials of an association of this kind would work in games at regular intervals, in other words, the work would be equally distributed among the members in order that each official would receive very near the same amount of work during the season. This thing could be easily worked out and the tool that would be derived would be incalculable. Partmouth and Some More Fights. Wow! It has been mirrored that somebody is thinking of staging another boxing cannival across the pond. Those fellows over there sure have some gall and the few fans that witness those contests, most assuredly can take some punishment, in fact they are gluttons for it. At all of the imitation fighters that have been held in Portsmouth, I have heard many fans say that they never expected to be fooled out to another of those not affairs, and I have noticed that each fight has a smaller gathering. The brand of the fight is one of its prestigious relative to sports. There have been so many bum fighters that fans would not even feel inclined to a good card if one was staged. There is something wrong somewhere, absolutely—and very wrong too. I can only attribute it to poor management. There are some who think they are promoters. How sad they have fooled themselves. They need to take a correspondence course in fight promoting, if such a course is available, if not they ought to drop out of the thing altogether. They have made things very hard and the town is in great need of someone to come along and College Games Here College teams are finding Norfolk a lucrative field in which to stage their combats. The bringing here of Union and Morshouse a few years back started the rolling and since that time we have been having two college games a year. It had been so long since there was a college game here that fans turned out in record numbers, but the past games have not had such attendances as the Union-Morshouse game. That looks bad. It reflects on our city. We should be proud of out-of-town games and should show our appreciation by turing out to witness them. It is not possible true that the Union-Morshouse game was a better brand of football than has been displayed by any of the games that have folloled. Norfolk is a great place to play as good as any other here. Of course, this does not mean that the Union-Morshouse game was not of the best brand. In spite of the large score, the game was good from gong to gong and interspersed with thrills. s are finding Norfolk a lucrative The bringing here of Union and the rolling and since that time we a year.

Last year's Union-Lin Prespects look very bright for the games to be staged here this year between Hampton and St. Paul and Hampton and Shaw. These games should be as good as any ever staged here. All three of the teams will have strong aggregations this year, stronger than last year, and stronger than Shaw. The latter game will be the best in view of the fact that these teams will come here much later in the season when all squares are at their best. In November, when Hampton, and Shaw come here, most squads are in mid-season form and are if a position to show some good stuff. This is Martin's second year at Shaw and his eleven ought to be much better than that of last year. It is not expected of a coach to make a sound in a year. It takes some time to get used for the coach. This year ought to bring out a much improved Bear Brigade. HIGH SCHOOL GRIDIRON STARS ON TO HOWARD HIGH SCHOOL GRIDIRON STARS ON TO HOWARD (by Preston News Service) Mifford Martin, Pa., Sept. 24—Mifford Martin, George G. jefferson, Quinn Banks and James Dillard, four of the greatest stars who cared for the football team, left Wednesday for Washington, D.C., where they will enter Howard University and become candidates for the football team. The quartet was induced to enter the capital institution by Charles West, former luminary at Washington High, W. and J., who is now coaching at Howard. All four were members of Washington High, that won the championship. Jefferson played on the championship teams at high in 1919 and 1920 and later was a varsity player at Waynesburg College.

A. E. A movement was started in Chicago recently to raise $25,000 of the $100,000 deficit of the million dollar endowment fund for Fisk University by the alumni. Miss Boaz, practicing attorney of that and a graduate of Fisk, class 1911, directed the executive secretary of the drive to travel among the alumni in interest of the institution. In spite of the difference of language—to which I am rapidly getting accustomed—I feel more at home in Paris than in London. The French remind me more of colored fabrics, exotic, exotic, light-hearted, pleasure-loving and take their own time about everything: two hours for lunch. They take time to live and get acquainted with life as they pass through it—which no doubt accounts for their very high state of artistic development. All during the day and late into the night I spend hours sipping their cafe, beer or wine at the delightful tables on the sidewalks. Paris is indeed a city in which to dream dreams. Another thing that has helped to make me feel more at home is the large number of colored folks. In my articles on England I said that I found a minimum of color prejudice there. In France it is apparently what I paid for, and what I did not in England, namely, the employment of Nigraes. I see Negro officers in the white regiments, in the bands, stores, subway, banks, on the stage and as chauffees. On the main floor of the Louvre—a department store, I saw two on the sales force. One of them told me that he wanted to go to America but that the quota and the low value of the franc were in his way. He saw Negroes treated with courtesy but he is the last to be given a job. Wages are much lower than in England, and since it takes 20 frames to make a dollar—before the war it took five—the wage of the French workman will sound ridiculously low to American ears. An American can live about a third in Paris if he knows the language. If he doesn't it will cost him about a third more than in New York City. America is indeed a paradise for the worker, white or black. As I said the Negro is own better treated here than in England. One of the first things I have discovered is that if I am to get along here I must throw over all the ideas of American that have adhered to my psychology in spite of myself, and simply think of myself a man. What would not the Negro in America have accomplished if he had not to use up so much of his energy fighting the despicable color question—that philosophy of imbeciles which declares that the color makes But the truth is I had better not forget those "race differences" too much or I will have to re-learn them on my return. As I said the Negro can go anywhere. He is on the stage not as a flunkey, but as the equal of the white actors. The other night at the Foies Borgere, perhaps the most famous music hall in the world, I saw a sight that made the crackers, who are here in large numbers, raving mad. I stood by them and then I saw them by their left arm and their remarks. This sight was one of the acts in which a magnificent Senegalese Negro, nude save for aoinloth, danced with an equally striking white woman, similarly dressed. It sure made the Mason-Dixon folks mad. In the dance the woman sat on the Negro's knee and caressed him. Then my mind ran back to the tremendous fuss that was made over "All God's Chillun" and I thought what a queer old world this is. On all the public buildings is the motto: Liberty, Fraternity, Equality; and the French live up to it, at least so far as race is concerned. For those wishing to write to me my address is cjo American Express, 11 Rue Scribe, Paris. In my next article I will give further impressions of France and also tell of many French customs which will sound peculiar to Americans. --- J. A. J. ROGERS "From Man to Man." Exclusive for the Nor- Journal and Guide On the first of September very pleasant stay of two and a half months in England I said good-bye to my English friends and took the train for Folkstone en route to Paris. I had heard much about the rough- ness of the Engl ish Channel and when I saw the small steamer that was to take us across and the choppy waves I thought that for once I was in for sea-sickness.

Come-back Most Wonderful In History. By LESTER A. WALTSON (In New York World) Tulsa, Oldn., Sept. 5—"Five Years Later," might be an appropriate title to a highly interesting narrative on the remarkable comeback of the Negroes in Tulsa; After the race viot in 1920/ they were left homeless, without food or clothing. The majority were peniless. Out of the stark and unsightly ruins of yesterday where once lay the bodies of innocent men, women and children, the Negro section of the town has risen Phoenix-like. This is no hyperbole. It is doubtless there has been a more living experience of its self-determination and optimism in similar circumstances. When subjected to the acid test these colored Americans were not found wanting. In his welcoming address to delegates to the National Negro Business League, Mayor H. F. Newblock declared: "I will say that you could not make me believe in a thousand years but that the colored people of Tuisa are the most progressive people on earth." These were not honeyed words for out-of-town consumption. The they were spoken in all sincerely, in the quiet, standing in thirty-five city blocks after lawless whites had destroyed the Negro district by fire, and nearly 1,000 homes were burned to the ground. Many of the business buildings and dwellings were old frame structures. Modern brick structures have sprung up in their place. There are one-fourth more houses in the section than before the riot. The property value has increased from $2,000,000 to $3,250,000. Mayor H. F. Newblock wrote: "The people had nothing left but their improvements on them are 100 per cent better than before the fire." Visitors who have not been in Tulsa for six years assert it is difficult to associate the business and residential sections now occupied by Negroes with what they knew them to be. The metamorphosis excites their admiration and moves them to expressionism in the North North Street is the saw place for family residences. The embers, had not cooked, the wave of racial antagonism had not subsided, when the victims set to work cleaning away the debris where once stood their homes. They went about their tasks using borrowed picks and shovels, not knowing whence the first brick or piece of limber was coming. They were embarked with abiding faith and hope. Every Negro gave the other a helping hand. Negro bricklayers, carpenters and plasterers labored day and night. They performed their work in nominal cost. The need of co-workers was contagious. The better element of white people in Tulsa began to lend moral and financial aid by standing sponsor with local banks and trust companies for the rebuilding of homes. Few were better and more than home buyers. The physical rehabilitation of Tulsa's Negro district was assured. Immediately following the riot the homeless Negroes of Tulsa thwarted a plot to deliberately deprive them of their land. Their secession is in the path of the former divided from the white business section by railroad tracks. Prior to June 21, 1921, covetous eyes had been cast in the direction of Greenwood and Archer streets. Business had to expand. The erection of a large union station was and is under contemplation. Warehouses and commercial buildings added additional property. The desirability of the property owned by Negroes was an open secret. It therefore was no big surprise to fire victims when offers were made to send them out of town, far as California, if desired, with transportation paid. But there is not an instance on record where a property owner accepted such a proposition, preferring to remain in Tulsa and work out his destiny. The next discouragement faced in the move to deprive Negroes of their land was when the house was put in the first zoo which imposed exacting buildings restrictions. It would have been impossible to have built new houses in accordance with specifications. Nothing could have been put up for less than $5,000. The erection of business buildings would have been With the aid of white friends legal proceedings were instituted in the courts of Tulsa for the abrogation of the order. Usually one judge renders a decision, but in this particular instance three sat at the hearing, and handed down an opinion which was unanimously in favor of Negro property owners. The action of the three judges realizes the beginning of the building campaign on a big scale. It is still going on. The first home is said to have been rebuilt by a white man for an old and highly respected employee.

C. January 30, 1925 by Dr. Chas. H. Wesley of the Department of History of Howard University. The speech or the monograph is regarded by leading educators as a very able treatise of a subject, which of late, has increasingly engaged the attention of students. It is entitled the interest of students. The monograph is being published serially in these colums, and below is the fourth installment, which deals with "The Negro In America." During Civil War During Civil War When the storm-cloud of Civil War which had been endangering American affairs threatened with menacing thunders to pour its torents of sectional strife and discord for a final settlement of liberty's future in America, it was at Port Hudson, at Millikens Bend, at Fort Wagner, at Fort Willow, in the Campaign in Virginia, in the Battle of the Wilderness, around Petersburg and in other engagements that regiments of Colored soldiers heroically defended and marvelously surpassed their reputation and the gallantry of previous wars. Their display of soldiery qualities in the Spanish-American War and in the World War has won for them distinction and such acknowledgment of their worth that in later days, rarely are misapprehensions expressed as to their military prowess which may be based upon historical facts. In Congress and in the halls of state legislatures; in Industry and in the field of Invention; in the professions and in business; in Education, Music and Art large con- who was also in the city, migrated to California, where Sammie was born. When he was about two years old it was discovered that he possessed some unusual talent, and after much persuasion she allowed him to go for a try-out after which the development began, and after a few rehearsals he was developed into a real movie star, and since that time he has been moved continuously in the movies. While traveling he has a private teacher which he takes much interest. "Mirrison is the mother of "Parmiron", who is also a movie star and four, and on Tuesday afternoon, last Sunshine Sammie held a reception for the Boy Scouts at the Press Club, and sent them all with new boy-scuits suits, they were also his guests at the Howard Theatre on Sunday night. Mr. and Mrs. Morrison, with Sammie and his co-star were the guests of the Crispus Attucks Press Club. Mrs. Jaceline A. Cuney, Legislative Chairman for the National Political Study Club, has returned from a western tour where she received much attention socially and otherwise from women in the several states she visited, and reports that the women are forming clubs and organizations which will be for the raising of the status of women generally. Mrs. Morissette, of Philadelphia, Pa., is very busy these days mobilizing the women of her State inward and district clubs preparatory to the coming congressional tributions have been made to American life. Such facts are worthy of presentation in any course in American History. Books are being published which may serve as illustrative material and as collateral material in every classroom. If separate courses are not established, collateral reading may be assigned and informal talks and reports arranged. The teacher need feel no longer that there is only controversial material upon this subject. Scholarly works are coming from the press which may be read with profit by public school teachers and which may be read with profit by students. A select group of these texts is: Williams, George W.

Desire the more immediate sources of information, on this subject. With the aid of these books and magazines, scientifically edited in the main, the contributions of the Colored American may be profitably correlated with other histories or specially studied. If separate courses are not established and special textbooks introduced, in the interest of efficient teaching, every teacher should be encouraged to familiarize himself with non-partisan facts and with information which is disentangled from untruthful tradition and testimony based upon personal opinion. If every successful teacher prepares an outline, what is to prevent, during the study of the American Revolution, an inclusion of Attucks, Salem Poor, and the Negro Soldiers with Washington at Valley Forge? In presenting Slavery, what is to prevent the mention in contrast of free Negroes who caught the attention of thinking Americans in spite of their economic debasement? In many public schools, because of the many special subjects and special teachers for whom place must be made, it may not be possible to give special and detailed courses. But it is possible for every teacher of history to be acquainted with information upon special topics growing out of this field of study. Next Week: "The Advantages of This Study."

The Independent states: "The Independent has been reliably informed by the agent on the Standard Life Division of the Southern Insurance Co., that the Standard Life Insurance Co., has not been taken over by state or coloured state of Louisiana, was announced by release from St. Louis last week.

BY CLEVELAND G. ALLEN The passing of the late John W. Work, who for twenty-five years was a member of the faculty of Fisk University, and who was a pioneer in the collecting and preserving of the Negro spirituals, removes one of the most remarkable men of this generation. He was one of the most gifted and erudite men produced by the race, and has left a fine heritage of the artistic values given to the world by the Negro. His career was a picturesque one, and he filled a place that was unique and distinct. It was at Fisk University where he gave the most beautiful and valuable years of his life, and so much more to make the Negro Folk Songs so universally loved and admired, and, which made that university such an interesting center as a pioneer in saving the music of the Negro. Perhaps to John Work, more than any other man, and his brother Fred, do we owe more for being among the most recognize and worth and beauty of the Negro spirituals. Made Negro Music Admired John Work made the music of the Negro admired, honored, and loved, and caused it to be accepted as the native music of America. For many years he organized, and traveled with Fisk i University quattets, and while serving in that capacity carried the songs of the Negro throughout America and Europe. He had a voice of unusual beauty which was well suited to his masterful and soulful interpretation of the Negro spirituals. No one could sing the spirituals like John Work, for he knew them as few did. Beside Fisk, he loved most of his life to the preservation of the music of the race, and in this direction he was regarded as a foremost authority. His book on Folk Songs of the American Negro is regarded on Negro spirituals which is widely used in schools and colleges throughout the country. He was frequently asked while with the Fisk quartet to make records for the leading phonograph companies, and this has done much towards the perpetuation of the music of the race. After his graduation at Fisk, he did past-graduate work at the University of Chicago, and then returned to Fisk where he remained up until t w o years ago, when he was elected to the presidency of Roger Williams University, and then brought at Fisk bright about a breaken tween him and ExPres. McKenzie, which is believed to have led to his resignation. This is thought by some to have undermined his health, from which he never recovered. Since things had become adjusted at Fisk, the university was seeking his return. Prof. Work was on his way to New York when he was stricken. A Great Inspiration He was coming for treatment at the invitation of Dr. Ernest Alexander. John Work was a great inspiration to his generation, and in his death the colored people of Los Angeles Race Concern Supplies Odd and High-priced Bedroom Suites to Wealthy Families. Blazing a unique trail for Negroes in the commercial field is the Hefflin Manufacturing Company of Los Angeles, Cal., a furniture manufacturing concern whose pretentious exhibit was a center of attraction at the recent session of the National Negro Business League in Tulsa, Okla. This concern specializes in the manufacture of specially designed furniture for some of the wealthiest families of the West in filling orders for odd pieces or pieces to match for furniture sales houses in various sections of the country, the country where he was a year old founder, designer and president has been a woodworker all his life. When just a lad from the manual training department of grammar school, he became an apprentice in a furniture plant, which has grown until it now covers more than five acres of floor space. In five years he had worked in every department of this lion house, which he built the complete manufacture of all kinds of household furniture. Alert to the possibilities he decided to go in business for himself, building special furniture and parts for other manufacturers. His venture was successful. He added one man and then others until today they have a plant with $30,000 worth of new and modern machinery and last year report that they did a total of $50,000 in designer of special bedroom, dining room and parlor furniture of artistic design, Mr. Heflin has won recognition and has had orders from a number of big figures in the movie industry who have commissioned him to do special individual designs for their personal use. Mr. Heflin points out that a great furniture maker says that even at present he is only hampered by lack of facilities for doing more business. He plans, he said, to expand and build a new factory.

America have lost one of their strongest characters, and Fisk University, one of its most distinguished graduates. I hope that throughout the country Fisk University men and women pause long enough to pay a tribute to him who inspired me to love and revere the music of our fathers, and to assist in keeping it before the world. He goes at a time when he is needed most. I hope that there will be a great national memorial service when fitting tributes by the leading men and women will be paid to John Work. Negro music is taking a new place in music as we now new value is placed upon it. For this we have such pioneers as John Work to thank. He will ever be-remembered by Fisk University men and women by the Fisk song which he and his brother wrote; the first verse runs as follows: "The warm and genial setting sun, Lights up the hill with mellow hue Where Fisk our alma mater stands Majestic dear gold and blue."

Wray Farm Club Agent, Warns That Fall 'Planting of Food Stuffs Must be Resorted To. (By Preston News, Service) Raleigh, N. C., Sept. 25—"Negro club members and farmers generally through the drought-striken land of Piedmont North Carolina and those sections where recent hail storms have devastated crops, should act quickly in growing food and feedstuffs for themselves their livestock. If they are not suffered during winter, says D. Wray, Negro club agents for the Agricultural exten- sion of State college. one of the first things for these farmers to do, according to Wray, is to prepare and plant a good fall and winter garden at once. This habitates, will help to furnish food for the family. Another important thing to do is to set some heirs or start the incubators to provide a crop of boilers and fryers for the Christmas trade. Citrullus. To grow hay during 1920, Wray advises on: Sowing a hay acres in heavy vetch and Virginia Grey oats, or crimson clover and oats or Abruzzi rye for both grazing and hay. To prepare for early spring next year, Wray advises the farmers to plant some spring vetch and burt kuts, buckwheat, German millet, or early amaral sorghum and any other early spring grass for hay. He also advises an early grain and a good crop of early spring headers and 4 trivers. "if every club member and fanier will follow these suggestions, he says 'there is a chance for them to save themselves a large grocery bill and the buying of a great deal of high priced lay.'

SAYS MUTILATION WAS PERFORMED BY STEP-DAUGHTER Turner Blanchard Repudiates Story of Attack By "Band of Hooded Men" As First Related To Sheriff. Love triangles have taken various courses to an end, some of them tragic, some melo-dramatic, but there is no record of any having had such weird culmination as the finale of one recently reported from Monroe, N. C. This alleged love triangle existed within the bounds of a single family, and if press reports concerning it are true, the principal in the triangle the man must have been an orthodox fundamentalist who believed literally in the scriptural admonition: "If they right hand offend them, cut it off." The story according to press reports, is that Turner Blanchard, of Monroe, on September 19, confessed that the criminal operation performed on him Sunday morning was done by his stepdaughter, Marie Griffin, and not a "band of hooded men" as he had first told authorities, and that he paid her one dollar for performing it. The confession was alleged to have been made to Sheriff Clifford Fowler in the presence of Deputy Sheriffs B. F. Nivens, W. J. Armfield and the head nurse at the Ellen Fitzgerald Hospital. TURTLE Blanchard stated that he had experienced much trouble in restraining himself, that both his wife and stepdaughter were very jealous of him, and that because of this jealousy there had been continuous turmoil in his family. Blanchard stated that he decided that the best solution was in removing the offending organs; and that he had asked his wife to do this several times and at one time had attempted it himself. He stated that on last Sunday morning a boy o'clock he sharpened his knife and paid his 15-year-old stepdaughter a dollar to perform the operation. The emasculation, according to his story was, made while he lay on the floor in a back room in the Blanchard home, with not one present save the victim and the operator. Mrs. Blanchard Testifies When Blanchard made his con- fession Sheriff Fowler immi- nately wife and step- daughter, who after being questioned, substantiated Blanchard's story in detail.

Many of the most learned men_ of today are great, exponents of the theory of evolution, ‘There have heen many men o! many minds, whe have said many things about this all too perples- ing evolution, consequently there are many sides to it, most of whicl try to discredit, or they at least go contrary to the teachings of the scripture as it relates Lo the crea tion of man, Compared To Heinz’s 57 One by one many of the theo- retical beliefs and teachings of such great men as Lamark, Darwin, De- Vries and other xreat scientists, cach with his own brand ef evolu- tion, were presented to his hear. crs by Rov. James S. Hatcher, D. D,, pastor of Bethel A.M. E. Church Sunday night, who betieves that almost every scientist has his own pet variation of the hypothe: sis. Rev. Hatcher delivered i mas. terful, scholarly sermon an. “The Meaning and Menace of Fvolu- tion.” Justis promptly as he pre- sented the side of the evolutionists, often quoting these eminent men. just so promptly did he bombard them with scriptural shrapnel ex- ploding Husley’s beliefs, literally picking to pieces, with the sharp point of biblical truths, the teach ing of Darwin, “The adherents of the theory of evolution,” said Rev. Hatcher, “have becn go gudent and so anxious to keep it in’ respectable company that they have modified it so often that it has become like tho famous Heinz pickles, there are at least {57 varieties,’ and each Vva- riety is destructive fo the word of God.” ‘The most disturbing ques: tions of the day, according, to. Rev. Hatcher, are, “Can onz be x Chris: tian and believe in~ evolution?” "Can one lay claim to scholarship and reject it?” “Does it confiie with the Bible, ig it a menace or a help?” Explain Variations Dr. Hatcher explained thet, he was brought up in a Christian, Bible reading home. In college he ‘was taught the doctrine of evolu- tion and accepted it without ques- tion; being young like the Atken- ians’ living to hear or to tell some- thing new; being taught that the Mosaic theory or account was true historically and otherwise, he be- lieved it, but when va finding that it conflicted wit!. Cenesis he essayed to’harmonize them. Laying aside, he said, his belief in atheist evo- lution whieh says, “that matter has progressed from one stage to an- other by the mherent or inborn foree without any. outside inter- fercnee,” and putting God at the heginning he uecepted what might ke called Modal evolution, that is that everything in nature is evolved from the one cell protoplasm, but he luter discovered that he did not Know Uhen the meaning of evolu- ‘tion nor the varieties of it,, and that each variety was destructive to the word ef God. Principal a- “mong. thy varieties of evolution are Cosmic, Organic, Suborganic, The- istic, Atheistic, Casual, Modal and others, According to Huxley, “The whole world, living and non-living, is the result of mutual attraction, aecord- ing to the definite laws of powers possessed by molecules hy which the primitive nebulosity of the unf- verse. was composed.” Here Dr. Hatcher provoked a laugh when af- ter he had finished his quotation frim Huxley, asked, “do you un- derstand that dictum? T don't, It sounds like a sentence from Mary Buker Eddy's Christian Science.” “We have four unprovable as suiiptions,” said Dr. Hatcher. 1, | All life, vegetable and anim al started from a single protoplasmic lcell. 2. Different specie of plant and animal life are formed by one spceis changing into another, 3. 7 ‘his came by gradual process from lower to higher. 4. It took mil- Jions of years to form man. The supporters of evolution say that Comparative Anatomy shows that speleton of an anthropoid ape re- sembles the skeleton of man_ so closely that only. a close observer could tell the difference. Again the supporters turn to Embryol- ‘ogy; they say the embryo in de- veloping from single cell has the appearance at various stages of orm, then fish, then reptile, then quadruped, thence to fully | de- veloped child. In this they fail to ‘see that the development of a fer- ‘tilized germ is one thing and the -transmulation of one species to another is quite another thing.” Says There is No Evidence Rev. Hatcher ex plained that ‘there is not a scintilla of evidence to support the first three assump: ‘tions. And as to transmutation of specie, it is an irrefutable, unde- niatle, indisputable fact that hy- irids are always sterile. God has cursed the transmutation of specie, [he said. Take the mule for an ex- jumple, eros the ass with the horse ‘and i produces a mule, but you have’ never seen a mule bear fold. : Declares It Untrue | “All kinds of evolution is a lie and a menace. Evolution is un- scientific, not only.is it unscientific but it ig destrnctive and menacing ‘to our faith and inspiration. « Hux- ‘ley himself ndmitted that evolution ‘and Genesis could not be reconciled. God took pains to say nine times in the book of Genesis that He created every thing ufter its kind God created matter. God created man, God created every living creature, God eveated man in his own image. Man did not evelove “Eyolution is destructive to the Diety of Christ. hecause it does gway with the virgin birth of Christ. The Cosmis coming of Christ according io cvolutionists was a little warm water with a liftie scum on it, # colony of cell evolving into a fish then to a rep tile then into a man, Christ, Jesus Imagine Jesus coming up throug! ‘a. serpent. Jesus does not trac his genealogy from protoplasmic cells or from monkeys, but from God. When men fail to glorify God they devolve. Ga down from Gori to Satan, from Holy to Unholy from sinless to sinful, from heaver to hell. The church is trying t save the world on evolution. Saying that all men need is littie time, but the more time he has the lower he goes. Sin is just a misfortine, they say. but T tel You that’s destructive atonement These and many other pertinen points were presented showing thal man eould build no hopes on evo Jution. And to show that man i: dovolving he cited, the building o! the Pyramids and the Sphins speaking of the wonderful arbi tecture of the ancients and science: ‘and geometrieal precision wit! which these great structures wer erectod, In building of the Pyra mids the stones being eat 500 mile from the building, carried there hoisted 150 feet into place where after 3,000 years one ean not tel even on elose insuection wher Stones were placed together.

Man goes steadily down, in stead of evolving into a sreate being, each day growing furthe from God.

Long, who has labored among us for five years, says of Norfolk are true, and if he feels that he should go where he will find the going smoother that is his business; but the race would be in a bad way if all its intelligent and experienced leaders like Rev. Long should feel it for the best to leave the hard conditions the race has to contend with in the South to be fought out by the rank and file. If the shepherds desert the flocks will the flocks be able to remain together? The vast army of our preachers and teachers and doctors and journalists who stick to their work and strive by preachment and example to make conditions in the South better for the great mass of the people, are heroes of the most approved type, but they never imagine that it is so. They know what the people need and they remain with the people and try to give them what they need. We wish Rev. Long well, but we would not encourage others to leave the work in the South, which needs them so imperatively, as he has done. Strong Endorsement Mr. Jackson Davis, general field agent for the General Education Board, and Mr. W. D. Griesham, supervisor of Negro education in Virginia express themselves in letters to the JOURNAL AND GUIDE as being in favor of including the study of Negro history in the school curriculum. These men, both of whom are experts in the field of education, indicate that they have been thinking seriously along this line for some time. It is apparent that the only step necessary to bring about this desirable improvement is the preparation of an acceptable text book covering the subject, and we believe that this is now receiving the close attention of competent race students of history. It appears that more has been done in recent years in the way of promoting the study of Negro life and history in white colleges than is generally known. Mr. Davis calls attention to this and refers particularly to the recent book by Dr. W. D. Weatherford, "The Negro from Africa to America," which is being used as a text in some white colleges. It is a distinct gain for the race to have such men as Messrs. Newbold, Davis and Gresham ondorse the movement to introduce the study of Negro life and history in our public schools. Our Lone Committeewoman The Afro-American people have been so circumstaned that they must have a "first" in everything. It has been really a matter of "in the beginning" with them. We can scarcely look over the columns of a race paper and not find mention of a person of the race who is classed as "the first who has done this thing," or "had this thing done to him or her." Because we have had to make a beginning in most everything requiring thought and effort it will be a long time before we cover the whole field and have representative in every department so that "he or she is the first" will cease to mean anything. Right now we are all interested more or less in Mrs. George S. Williams of Savannah, Ga. She is a woman of unusual capacity and character, and that is the reason the daily news dispatches could say, upon announcing the death of Henry Lincoln Johnson, "for the first time in the history of American politics, a Negro woman has gained membership on the Republican National Committee." She succeeds Mr. Johnson, but unless the State Committee which will meet soon elects her to the permanent position she is not likely to attend upon any Editorial Page of meeting of the National Committee. This is to be regretted. It would be a good thing for the Republicans of Georgia if they would give the job to Mrs. Williams. She is better qualified to fill it than any man of the race in Georgia that we know of. But the chances are that a white man, and a Lilywhite at that, will be elected to succeed Mr. Johnson. That is what factional differences among us usually lead to—while we quarrel over the good thing the white man grabs and makes off with it. Crusade on Vice Conditions The pastor and officers of St. John's A. M. E. Church, moved by the continued annoyance of gangs of immoral women who congregate and solicit within the vicinity of the church, have inaugurated a drive against open street trafficking by these underworld characters in the uptown section. In this move the church people should, and undoubtedly will have the active cooperation of a public that has long suffered the insistence created by these lecherous creatures, who brazenly ply their trade, right in the sections of the city through which a great part of the colored population is forced to pass daily. They do this in open defiance of the law and moral sensitiveness of the people. These women find some of their most lucrative patronage among white sailors who frequent their haunts and consort with them, racial integrity propaganda to the contrary notwithstanding. The practice can be greatly curbed, if not entirely broken up. To this situation the attention of the vice squad is especially invited. But in the curbing process, the men members of the community, who have moral fineness enough to cause them to shiver at the thought of their youthful sons and brothers falling prey to one of these morally and physically diseased vultures, must realize their responsibilities. It is not enough that they, when accosted, ignore the temptation, but they should prosecute the tempter as a duty toward the less worldly-wise and weaker youth, who may not escape a like temptation. Greater police surveillance in the areas known to be rendezvous of immorality and public cooperation can bring these women and their nuisances to boot. It should be done. Clean Labor Organization of Our Wage-Earners Needed Much discussion has arisen about the Negro Labor Congress, advertised to meet in Chicago next month; discussion as to its program, its real objects and its financial backers. These are all interesting questions. Mr. William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, has warned Negro members of his organization that he has nothing to do with the proposed Congress, and that he is of the opinion that it is being promoted by American Communists and the Moscow International, and he warns American labor against getting tangled in such alliances, which are creating disturbance of a serious nature among the laborers of all countries, as they are opposed to existing systems of government and industrialism. Mr. Lovett Fort-Whiteman, speaking for the promoters of the Labor Congress, denies that it has any foreign alliance, and says it is being promoted by those who have only the interests of the Negro workers at heart; but, he admits, the Labor Congress "marks the beginning of a new epoch in the life of the American Negro" and will "endeavor to set the Negro upon a new road of political thinking and to bring about a self-orientation on the part of the Negro toward world situations and in understanding of a common interest and a common enemy for the working class the world over, regardless of race, color or clime." This is an ambitious program and could easily carry the American Negro worker just where Mr. Green warms him against going, and where the JOURNAL AND GUIDE does not think it is good or to his advantage for him to go. What Afro-American labor needs more than anything else is more effective organization of its own, in all of the industries in which it is engaged, and a closer affiliation and working understanding with the existing white organizations, such as the American Federation of Labor. It will not gain anything at this stage by alliances with the Communists groups in the United States or the latter's foreign fountain heads—the Moscow International and the Russian Soviets,—which seek to overthrow existing governments and industrial systems. We have not exhausted our efforts to get the best out of those systems as they hedge us about in the United-States, and until our government and its industrial system fails us we should be careful how we go on record in a Negro Labor Congress or outside of such, as against our government and its industrial system. Norfolk Journal and Guide Saturday, September 26, 1925 "Gospel Preaching is the Biggest Preaching in the World" Making Progress Despite Their Handicap Bishop W. F. McDowell of Washington, although white, told the members of the Kentucky Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, at Newport, some truths that are worth while for ministers of all denominations to thoughtfully consider. The thoughtful among them do that, and we are of the opinion that the thoughtful are growing in number and influence among our ministers. They need to. If the pulpits do not give the pews the sort of intellectual and spiritual preachment they need they will seek it in other places, and they are doing that, if the report of the churches is to be accepted that the young folks have not the interest in the work of the church they used to have. The pulpits have to anticipate the needs of the pews, or the pews will desert the pulpits, and we all know that would be very bad for mankind, as the spiritual philosophy of the Church is the only thing that saves society from the material philosophy of Satan and the Devil, it being as impossible to mix the two philosophies without spoiling both as it is to mix oil and water. Bishop McDowell said: "Gospel preaching is the biggest preaching in the world and requires intellectual and earnest efforts," he said. "Ministers have no conception of the gospel in the turbulent age, and preachers do not understand the work of Jesus Christ because they can repeat a few words committed to memory. "I read hundreds of books a year, and the supreme intellectual achievement is to keep able to grasp and preach the gospel. To preach the gospel intelligently, requires understanding of the age in which we live." The bishop also declared that "too many country brethren try to be preachers in city churches, and that is one of the troubles with the church today. Some of the country brothers should go back to the country. There is no use to try to fool ourselves. Some preachers could leave their brain right out in a draught, and never catch cold." Preachers who are not hit by this lecture will be as much interested in it as those who are hit. Bishop McDowell has rendered the ministry a distinct service in telling the truth and telling it in plain, blunt phrase so that he who runs may read. Preaching is the "biggest" business in modern life. It calls for the best minds and the best training, and the preacher who does not realize this to be so is out of place in the pulpit. Spirit of the Press To The Dogs From Baltimore: Afro-American. The Rev. C. M. Long, of Norfolk, Va, quit the $3,000 pulpit of Bank Street Baptist Church for the $1,800 pulpit in New Jersey, because he finds his native city of Norfolk is rapidly going to the dogs. Here is Mr. Long's indictment of his former home city: He notes the growing spirit of the Ku Klux, manifested in street car advertisements, coupled with public demonstrations and initiations designed to frighten Negroes. Norfolk spends all the tax payers' money for parks and public golf links, from which colored people are excluded. Any attempt put forth by Negroes themselves to provide recreation for their children or young people is met with objection in the form of threats and fires, such as took place at a prosective Negro resort last week. Norfolk has enacted a new segregation law designed to keep colored people confined to one section of the city. The law keeps colored people out of white sections, but does not keep white out of colored sections. These are the conditions in the South which discouraged, disheartened and disgusted the Rev. Mr. Long. Similar conditions in cities south of the Mason and Dixon line everywhere obtain. They account for the outeropping of inter-racial committees working for better understanding between the races. They account in part for the migration of a half million workers with their families into the North, seeking the end of jim crow and relief from the cracker's superiority buncombe. Dr. Carter G. Woodson, the historian, describes the migration as the safety valve movement by which the Southern Negro maintains his equilibrium. Constantly oppressed and tormented by his stronger white brother, hatred and anger within him heat to the boiling point. There must be either a boiling over, and explosion or a flight Northward, where the outside pressure is not so great. For those who elect to remain in the South under unfavorable circumstances, we recall the celebrated reply of Harriet Tubman to Frederick Douglass, discouraged over the seeming failure of the abolition movement before the war. Said she, "Frederick, Is God Dead?" Far greater respect, however, have we for the radicals and pioneers, who are willing to sacrifice the home ties and the association of life long friends, in order to carve out a new destiny in a fairer land.

As a lawyer, Johnson devoted his wonderful ability to the use of his brothers. He was a humanitarian in the courts and he cared more for the hearty handshake of some man whom he aided him did for a liberal fee.

LINCOLN JOHNSON NEGRO PRESS ON H. LINCOLN JOHNSON BOOK REVIEW In private life Henry Lincoln Johnson was one of those lovable creatures that radiate good fellowship wherever they go. He loved men and men loved him. He had hatred and ill-will for no man. He was generous to Negro School To Study In French The Story Of Toussaint L'Overture Dr. G. R. Simpson has done the race a great favor in editing for school purposes Gragnon-Lacoste's biography of Toussaint L'Overture, the Negro soldier, statesman, and nartyr of Haiti. Here we have a valuable book subserve a double purpose. It facilitates the study of a foreign language by presenting matter of immediate interest to the Negro student. At the same time it supplies him with valuable information about one of the greatest figures in history regardless of his color. This book, then, meets a long felt need; for what stimulus can there come to a Negro student of French when he reads of the deeds of Louis the XIV, or the Negro student of history if he is to restrict himself altogether to the study of Ceasar, Ninoleon, and Gladstone? In this story, however one will not find propoganda. It is merely the narrative of the unusual deeds of an exceptional man. With little opportunity for development the hero of the story made himself a leader of men. Against tremendous odds he hurled his ill equipped soldiers at the military force of France, representing the proudest blood of Europe. He humiliatingly defeated these Frenchmen, and laid the foundation of an independent Republic. No story is more fascinating than this. Few writers have written a narrative as gripping as this of Touissiant L'Overture, the warrior, the hero, the savior of his country. To appreciate the worth of this man and the importance of a fault. His pocketbook was constantly open and nobody has ever seen any strings attached to it. He loved life and his philosophies were never sullied with bitterness or cynicism. Henry Lincoln Johnson put no premium upon money, for his private pos- drawing upon his career for impressive lessons to develop the character of the Negro youth, one cannot do better than bear in mind these words of Wendel Phillips: "I would call him Napoleon, but Napoleon made his way to empire over broken oaths and a sea of blood. This man never broke his word. "No Retaliation" was his great motto and the rule of his life; and the last words uttered to his son in France were these: "My boy, you will one day go back to San Domingo; forget that France murdered your father." I would call him Cromwell, but Cromwell was only a soldier, and the State he founded went down with him into his grave; I would call him Washington, but the great Virginian held slaves. This man risked his empire rather than permit the slave trade in the humble villages of his dominions * * * Fifty years hence, when truth gets a hearing, the muse of history will put Phocion for the Greeks, Brutus for the Romans, Hampton for England, Fayette for France, choose Washington as the bright consumate flower of our earlier civilization, and John Brown as the ripe fruit of our noon-day; then, dipping her pen in the clear blue, above them all, the name of the soldier, the statesman, the martyr, Toussaint L'Overture."

C session, and therefore he had very little. As a lawyer, Johnson devoted his wonderful ability to the use of his brothers. He was a humanitarian in the courts and he cared more for the hearty handshake of some man whom he aided than he did for a liberal fee. He was idolized and adored by those unfortunate thousands who live in the sub-strata of the South. He was their friend. They will mourn his passing as will all who knew him intimately. From Pittsburgh, American. There may be justification for stern criticism of his conduct as at National leader, but any fair appraisal of his life and works will more than substantiate the claim that in his death we lose a good citizen, an eminent scholar, an astute politician and a public servant sincerely honest at heart. It is a regrettable fact that during his last days of public life he subjected himself to harsh censure and rebuke by public and press, by reason of his endorsement of Marion O. Dunning, a Ku Klux leader from Georgia, for collector of Port at Savannah. We hardly believe that he could have completely justified this reactionary move, but had he been longer spared it is likely that something said or done would have served to soften the shame of his act, and certainly left a kindlier token by which the race might remember him. From Newport News Star. Henry Lincoln Johnson has at least helped to prove the fallacy of the charge that the Negro is inferior to any man. For years, by his own indomitable will and ability, he has managed, against odds which surrounded him, on all occasions to emerge victorious. Unafraid and unbeatable, the whole State of Georgia has been called upon through its legislature to deny the Negro a man's chance. Beaten at every turn of the game, the legislature of Georgia has been invoked to the cowardly expedient of passing a law which aims to prevent the duplication in that State of any similar political achievement akin to that Henry Lincoln Johnson wrought. From New York Age. Colonel Johnson had few equals in the field of politics, as was shown by his success in attaining the position of National Committeeman and holding it against all the opposition of the Southern Lilywhites. He was a man of brilliant intellect, and if he had given the same vigor to the practice of law that he gave to politics, he would undoubtedly have won rank as a foremost member of the bar and the financial returns that would have accompanied it. From Chicago Defender. Lincoln Johnson was an un- usual man, farsighted, sagittal and fearless, and he held an usual position in his relations with white people of his native state. He was by far the most outstanding figure our Race is offered in national politics, representing the State of Georgia National Republican conventions from 1896 to 1924. Ding the last two years his position reached its peak when John assumed the role of patron dispenser for his district. For almost thirty years he taken an active part in national issues and has always retained his positions with credit. He was one of our few leaders public life who protected him against slander of his enemy and who made adverse criticism almost impossible through his scrupulous attention to details. From Atlanta Independent. Line Johnson was the most widely known politician America of his group. He is a national character and recognized as the most astute practical Negro politician in country. He was one of the very men in political life who a lighted to be called "political Politics was his business, and played the game to the exclusion of his chosen profession, the he He has been the most conspicuous figure at every Republic National convention since 1881 and has been recognized as the greatest political contest law in America. From St. Luke Herald. Not only have the Negro citizens lost a valuable asset to the political hopes of the future, in the cause of Republicanism we receive a sure backset in the Solid South at the removal this mighty man among men statecraft affairs. He passes at an unusually early age of fifty-six. But the stress of years and success gainst overpowering odds would account for his early deeds. We mourn at his passing. Who will come to the fore and further blaze the highways of the coming success of our people in political duties? Who note his mistakes and lead Race from them by knowing better by watching his poor works? Who will lay aside action and go to take up the sword that fell from his valiant hand last week? From: Carolina Times He was not only the Nation's Republican leader everywhere in the State of Georgia, but he was the Negro's political leader everywhere in the Nation. He always on hand and ready to enter into the adjustment of an political question when Negro people's rights were involved. He was extremely diplomatic he never withheld expression against what he thought might hurt the material or political life of his people. He was both feared and honored by his fellow countrymen in his particular State as well as in the Nation. He could be and was trusted represent the majority of Republican voters in the State of his birth and was always called in questions of a political nature among our group everywhere. Now the question naturally arises, who will take his place from Georgia? Who will represent the Negro race on the Republican National Committee.
