C. Wortham, and clubbed the officer to death with the butt of the gun, after both Lewis' wife and sister had been slain with bullets from the sheriff's pistol, was acquitted of the charge of murder by a jury in the Memphis criminal court Wednesday last, according to press dispatches from that city. The fight between Lewis and the deputy sheriff took place in Lewis' home. Worthham had a rested Lewis' wife after an altercation with her over the payment of a $5.00 debt when Lewis appeared and remonstrated with the officer. A bloody fight followed in which Lewis' wife and sister were slain with bullets pumped from the sheriff's pistol. Lewis flushed into the flying bullets, overpowered the officer, wrenched the pistol from his hands and with a mad man's blows crushed Worthham's skull with the butt of his own pistol. He pleaded self-defense and the jury accepted his plea. Credulous Persons Nod Wisely Over Woman's Prophecy (Richmond Bureau.) Richmond, Va.—Credulous persons hereabouts are nodding wisely concerning the alleged prophecies made by a woman who was said to have been interested in the Disse case, and the recent fire in the Executive Mansion. These people claim that they are reminded of an alleged prediction made by one Rosa Primus some time ago, who was dissatisfied with the outcome of the Disse case, and who, in a letter to the Governor convening it expressed her disapproval and said to the effect that the young man didn't get a fair trial. In the same letter she was said to have stated that pretty soon some calamity would befall some member of the Chief Executive's family. Disse shot and killed a woman, a man and a policeman, and is now awaiting death in the electric chair. Mrs. Trinkle, wife of the Governor, was painfully burned in the fire in the mansion. The central and southern States of Brazil—Parana particularly—are expected to experience a great development in the next few years as the result of an influx of Germans. Entered as Second Class Matter at the Post Office at Norfolk, Virginia. The case of Mrs. Jones Hand Corrigan and Mrs. Hoea Curtis against John J. Buckley, which involves this question, was argued before the Supreme Court last Friday. Came Up On Appeal It came to the Supreme Court on appeal from a decision of the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia, affirming a decree of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia. The Supreme Court of the District of Columbia granted an injunction restraining Mrs. Corrigan from selling and Mrs. Curtis from buying the property at No. 1719 S. street, northwest. On June 1, 1921, 26 persons owning adjacent property on both sides of S street between N.W. Hampshire avenue and Eighteenth street, northwest, entered into a covenant which provided that no part of their property shall ever be used or occupied by or sold, conveyed, leased, rented, or given, to Negroes or persons of the Negro race or blood. It was also agreed that the covenant "shall run with the land and bind the respective heirs and assigns of the parties bereft for the period of 21 years." Mrs. Corrigan was one of those who signed this agreement. September 26, 1922, Mrs. Corrigan entered into a contract to sell her property to Mrs. Curtis. Neighbors of Mrs. Corrigan protested to her against carrying out the contract of sale. Mrs. Corrigan indicated that she would not refuse to sell or convey her property to Mrs. Curtis. Mr. Buckley then applied to the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia for an injunction to enjoin Mrs. Corrigan from selling and Mrs. Curtis from buying the premises at No. 1719 S street, northwest. Motion To Dismiss Overruled Both Mrs. Curtis and Mrs. Corrigan moved to dismiss the bill. These motions were overruled. An injunction was granted, and attorneys for Mrs. Corrigan and Mrs. Curtis carried the case to the Court of Appeals, which affirmed the degree of the District Supreme Court. The case was then appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States. Louis Marshall, of New York, on behalf of Mrs. Corrigan and Mrs. Curtis, made the opening argument. He contended that the decree granted is unconstitutional because it deprives the defendants of their property without due process of law, and, secondly, that the covenant is void as being contrary to public policy. Louisville Segregation Case Mr. Marshall directed the attention of the court to the Louisville segregation case. He declared that "the court in that case having decided that legislature or municipality through its common council could not segregate white owners from black owners, this covenant was invented for the purpose of bringing about the same result by means of agreements between the owners of property in a particular neighborhood, and covenants of that character have come into being in various parts of the country, and some improved by adding that they would not sell to Jews or Catholics." He argued that no agency of a state could do any act that a state was prohibited from doing under the Fourteenth Amendment, and that the aid of the judicial branch could not be invoked in enforcing acts which the state could not do through its legislative branch. Contrary To Law Mr. Marshall contended that the covenant was contrary to public policy. He cited certain statutes of the United States declaring that all citizens of the United States shall have the same right in every (Continued on Page Three) HARE RAISES USUAL POINT AGAINST BILL Items For University Stricken Out In House Measure On Point of Order By Representative From S. Carolina. BELIEVED SENATE WILL RESTORE ITEMS (Special Correspondence.) Washington, D.C.. Jan. 14—The annual congressional pastime of striking appropriations for Howard University from the Interior Department appropriations bill in the House was performed Monday afternoon when Representative Butler B. Hare, Democrat, of South Carolina, made points of order against each of the items for that institution. These items, it is believed, will be restored in the Senate. Successor To Byrnes Representative Hate succeeded James F. Byrnes as the representative of the second district of South Carolina in the House. While he was in the House, Byrnes was the usual maker of this point of order. Representative Hate made no remarks relative to the items appropriating funds for Howard University, but insisted upon his point of order against each item that it was not authorized by law. Points Admitted Valid Representative Louis C. Crampton, Republican, of Michigan, in charge of the Interior Department appropriations bill, admitted that the points of order were valid. He asked Mr. Hare, however, not to insist upon his points of order. During the discussion, in response to Representative John Philip Hill, Republican, of Maryland, Representative Crampton stated that he had reintroduced in this Congress his bill authorizing annual federal appropriations for Howard University, Mr. Hill (expressed the hope that the measure of Mr. Crampton authorizing the appropriation will pass. Representative Hill Speaks In his remarks Representative Hill said that "the appropriation for Howard University stands on a different basis from other appropriations connected with the federal encouragement of education. Federal assistance has been rendered to Howard University for 10 or 50 years. The appropriation might well be contained in the District of Columbia appropriation bill. While I am against the Federal Government taking over control of education in the states from state authorities, I do favor in every possible way the encouragement of education by the Federal Government in its own proper sphere." The Interior Department appropriations bill as passed by the House carries a total of $52,834 for Freedman's Hospital. The Howard University items, which were stricken from the bill, amounted to $218,000. Bill To Prohibit Intermarriage Of Races In D. of C. (Special Correspondence.) (Special correspondence) Washington, D. C., Jan. 14—A bill prohibiting the intermarriage of colored and white persons in the District of Columbia has been introduced in the Senate by Senator T. H. Caraway, Democrat, of Arkansas. It was referred to the Committee on the District of Columbia. The terms of the bill make it unlawful for any colored and white person to intermarry in the District of Columbia. It makes the issue born of any such marriage illegitimate. The bill would also make it unlawful for any intermarried couple of white and colored persons to reside in the District of Columbia. Such intermarried couples as have already established residence here would be exempted from the provisions of the bill, but should they remove from here, they would be prohibited from returning for the purpose of re-establishing residence. NORFOLK, VIRGINA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 16, 1926 Night Riders Try To Frighten Florida Property Owners Press reports coming from Tampa, Fla., state that night riders at the instigation of real estate operators are making wholesale attempts to frighten colored property owners to sell their property and leave the city. Officials were said to have called a conference to determine what steps are to be taken to single out those responsible for the attempts at intimidation of these law-abiding citizens. R. C. Doby, an aged colored man, said to be the owner of several thousand dollars worth of property in Tampa, reported to the city commission Monday that his home had been visited by a band of night riders who ordered him to leave the city within 18 hours. A burning cross was left at his front gate, it is said. City officials admitted that they had received like complaints from other colored property owners, the press dispatches, stated. TRUSTEES RAISE MORE MONEY FOR KITTRELL Building Program: To Begin At Once; $190,000 Needed For Salaries of New Teachers and Beautifying Campus BY W. R. GULLINS Kittrell, N. C.-At a special meeting of the trustees of Kittrell College on January 6, held in the office of Prof. G. A. Edwards, president of the College, plans were definitely outlined for carrying out the wonderful program of physical expansion of the institution made possible through the munificent gift of $750,000 by B. N. Duke. Dr. G. J. Wilson, vice president of the board, who presided over the meeting, informed the trustees that the gift was now available, and that Mr. Duke was anxious that work begin at once on the erection of four manmoth college buildings. Additional land of 30 acres has been bought and paid for, which brings the college grounds up into the town of Kittrell and along the main federal highway running from Portland, Maine, through New York and direct to Jacksonville, Fl. Sites Selected The trustees selected the sites for the buildings, Science Hall, Administration Building and Library, Girls' dormitory and chapel. The erection of these buildings, according to Mr. Duke's intentions, included complete equipment even a great organ in the chapel. The program which is to be carried out with Mr. Duke's girls has given rise to other urgent needs such as grading the grounds, beautifying the whole campus to comport with the protected buildings, and the raising of a salary fund necessary to pay such teachers as will be required, beginning with the next school year. The situation had been minutely surveyed by trustees John R. Hawkins, John M. Avery, W. G. Pearson and G. A. Edwards, who informed the board that $190,000 was needed, and if the Second Episcopal District would raise $100,000 the remaining $80,000 would be forthcoming. The board at once began to consider ways and means of raising the $100,000, and to show sincerity and enthusiasm, the trustees themselves laid in cash and pledges on a table $7755. When the outlined program has been put over Kittrell College will be the best equipped and foremost college of the great A. M. E. Church, and fact one of the best colleges in this country for the race. The following representatives were present—North Carolina a conference—Revs. A. J. Wilson, G. D. Carnes, W. R. Gullins, J. E. C. Barham, J. D. Cowan, C. C. Cerguson, Western North Carolina a conference—Revs. J. W. Walker, W. C. Clandel, C. A. Stroud, K. C. Holt, F. W. Sowell, C. C. Scott, A. D. Avery, W. G.

PENCHANT FOR SWEETSCAUSE OF SHOOTING Isle of Wight County Lad Says He Killed Girl Because She Refused To Cook A Cake. IS SENTENCED TO A TERM IN REFORMATORY A penchant for sweets caused Richard Channel, 14 year-old Isle of Wight county boy, to shoot and kill Miss Georgia Diggs, 16 years old, at their home several weeks ago, according to testimony adduced at his trial before Judge B. D. White; in Isle of Wight Court last week. According to the testimony, Richard end-avowed to persuade the girl to bake a cake, which was to be eaten while his grand parents were away from home. The lifeless form of Miss Diggs was found inside the ironing board in their home near Carrollton when the grandparents returned. Richard was arrested and held in jail several days before he would make a statement a- to how she met her death. He finally confessed to shooting her to death. Judge White sentenced Channel to a term in the Reformatory. CAIN ACQUITTED OF MURDER IN LYNCHING CASE Mississippi Jury Demonstrates Impossibility of Convicting Lynchers in That State; Similar Verdicts Expected. (Special to Journal and Guide) Clarksdale, Miss.—The virtual impossibility of convicting white men charged with lynching Negroes in this state was demonstrated here Wednesday, January 13, when Gold O. Cain, the first of a quartette indicted on charges of murder in connection with the lynching of Lindsay Cobman within a stone's throw of Coahoma county courthouse on the night of December 19, was acquitted by a jury in the Coahoma county Circuit Court before Judge W. A. Alcorn after 27 hours delinquency. Cain had been on trial since the first of last week. J. T. Traynham, Tom Nicholas and S. Blockley, all awaiting trial on murder indictments growing out of the lynching are at library on the persons who have watched the Cain trial entertain a small doubt as to a similar outcome of the trials of the other indicted men. Trial Watched With Interest The Cain trial was watched with interest throughout the nation. His was the first case of the kind remembered in Mississippi. The oldest generations of the states do not recall that a lynching of a Negro by white men has even before brought about a murder indictment and trial in Mississippi. The outcome of the Cain trial is taken as indicating how powerless the best citizens of Mississippi are to punish lynchers. The indictment of the four men was brought about by prominent woman of the state who demanded that Mississippi vindicate the law by meting out quick punishment to the lynchers. A jury in Coahoma county Circuit Court has furnished the answer. Coleman was lynched after he had been acquitted by a jury of white men of a murder charge growing out of the killing of a plantation owner. Cain had been positively identified by Sheiff W. S. Glass who declared while testifying for the state: "I saw Cain and Nicholas seize the Negro and push him into a car on the east side of the courthouse." Narrowly Escapes Serious Accident Mr. James Hatchett, an employee of the Norfolk and Western Railroad, narrowly escaped losing his right leg, when it became entangled in a cable used in removing empty coal cars from the piers at Lambert's Point. He is being treated at his residence, 1448 W. 46th St., and is resting comfortably. J. SEN. W. B. McKINLEY is sponsoring the anti-lynching bill in the Senate. His bill is identical with the Dyer Bill in the House, defeated by a Democratic filibuster in the Senate at the last session of Congress. Recent outbreaks of lynching have revived interest in a federal statute dealing with this form of lawlessness. Inquest In Death Of Leroy Strother Set For Tuesday The coroner's inquest into the death of Laroy Strother, 11 year-old boy, of 304 Chapel street, who was shot and killed by Israel Banks a grocer merchant on Monday afternoon of last week, which was scheduled to be held Tuesday of this week, was again postponed to Tuesday of next week, on account of the absence of important witnesses, it was said. Banks, who claims the killing was accidental, is at liberty under $5,000 bond granted by Judge Sergio shortly after the tragedy. CHEST FUND PLEDGES DUE AND PAYABLE CHEST FUND PLEDGES DUE AND PAYABLE Headquarters For Collection Of Pledges Set Up In Metropolitan Bank and Trust Company Building. The Colored Branch Division of the Community Chest Fund has set up headquarters in the Metropolitan Bank and Trust Building room 308, for the convenience of collection and payment of Chest Fund pledges. All pledges made to the Fund during the October campaign are now due and payable. Mrs. Ruth N. Bass has been appointed special representative with authority to collect from all persons who have made pledges to the Fund. Prompt Payments Urged However, the office in the bank building is open daily and payments may be made there by mail or in person. Checks should be made payable to the Colored Branch Division: Community Chest Fund. The public is urged to make prompt payments on pledges inasmuch as with the beginning of the new year the eight member agencies of the coloured division began operating on their 1926 budgets, those for which the fall campaign, was conducted. For sustained operations they must get this money regularly and promptly, which cannot be done unless those persons who made pledges should pay them promptly. Charities Face Emergency Rev. F. W. Williams is president, Mr. William Rich, treasurer and Mr. Abner E. Lee, secretary of the Colored Branch Division of the Norfolk Community Chess Fund. METHODISTS MOB HANGS AFFIRM RACE UP 1ST. LYNCH BROTHERHOOD VICTIM IN 1926 TWELVE PAGES—TWO PARTS SEGREC METHODISTS AFFIRM RACE BROTHERHOOD Race Relations Given Prominent Place On Program of Great Southern Denomination. WOULD DISPLACE STRIFE WITH RESPECT Memphis. Tenn.—Four thousand Methodists, young people from all parts of the South, in convention in this city, went on record with the declaration that "divisive, unbrotherly attitudes as between races must be displaced by the spirit of generosity, service, and mutual respect." "We must abide by the principles of Jesus," said the young people, "namely, the Fatherhood of God, the brotherhood of man, and the supreme value of human personality." Their denomination, the M. E. Church South numbering 2,500,000, was requested to "take steps to bring about as far as possible equal advantages between the races in the South in education, in the courts, in economic matters, and in the opportunity for self-adven- The subject of race relations had a prominent place on the three-day program. The speakers and leaders on this subject were Dr. W. D. Weatherford, president of Southern Y. M. C. A. International Secretary, New York; Dr. W. W. Alexander, Director Commission on Interracial Cooperation, Atlanta; and Dr. E. D. Soper, of Duke University, Durham, N. C. The subject was also discussed freely from the floor. The resolutions on race relations were part of the findings formulated by the young people and were as follows:— "There is conflict and strife, separation of groups of individuals, one against the other, unbrotherhood and antagonism which the spirit of Christ cannot abide. These divisive, unbrotherhood traits we must eliminate from our society." Particularly do we feel that the situation in the South calls for the finest expressions of the Christian spirit of generosity, service and respect. In this matter, as in others, we must abide by the principles of Jesus, namely the Fatherhood of God, the brotherhood of man, and the supreme value of human personality. We go on record as favoring and we recommend that our church take steps to bring about, as far as possible, equal advantages between the races on education, in the administration of the law, in economic matters and in opportunity for self-adventure." Boy Walks Calmly Thru Streets With A Still In Hand (Richmond Bureau) Richmond, Va. — A police man captured a still in the middle of Second street Saturday morning. A small boy about 10 years old was walking calmly up the street, between Leigh and Clay with a good sized copper still in his hands. No one in the street paid much attention to the lad until he was mer by a policeman who accosted him and asked him where he got it. The boy refused to tell. The officers then asked the boy where he was going. The wise youngster informed him that he was going to the junk shop to sell the junk he had. The policeman took this for a fish story, and placed the chap under arrest, carried him to the police station where he was held for further investigation. It is believed by the police that the boy was being sent some plaque by older people, and had sense enough not to divulge the names of the persons sending him. Judge Gives Woman Five Years For 35-Cent Theft (By Preston News Service) Dallas, Tex., Jan. 14—Mrs. Minnie Thomas was given five years in the penitentiary for stealing 35 cents from a white man in Indiana alley on August 17, last. The verdict was returned Tuesday afternoon by a jury in Judge F. D. Robertson's court. Forests can only exist where there is a summer temperature of 50 degrees and an annual rainfall of 30 inches. "All the News that's Worth Reading" PRICE 7 CENTS GATION SMOB HANGS UP 1ST. LYNCH VICTIM IN 1926 Nick Williams Slain By Florida Lynchers Without Being Formally Accused Of Any Crime Whatsoever. HAD BEEN ARRESTED ONLY AS A SUSPECT With the year just a half a month old, the first score for the lynchers was chalked up against the state of Florida, when, at Osceola, on Tuesday, January 11, according to press dispatches, a band of men took Nick Williams from two officers, hurried him off in an automobile and lynch him at a spot 18 miles from the city. The lynching compares in its outrages of all human and legal rights, in its palpable disregard of constituted authority with the recent lynching of Lindsay Coleman, who was put to death by a Mississippi mob, after having been freed of a murder charge by a jury of white men. Williams was arrested on suspicion of having criminally attacked a young white woman. It was nothing more than suspicion. While, he was being taken to the hospital to face his alleged victim for identification he was taken from the officers and lynched. In the former case the mob victim had been vindicated by the law. In Williams case, he was merely a suspect--not yet even accused by the woman. The band of men was said to have surrounded the automobile as it approached the hospital building, tore open the storm curtains, and covering the guard with pistols, demanded that the prisoner be surrendered to them. Father Asks Road Sentence For Son Percy Pendleton, of Raleigh, N.C., will serve four months on the county roads without the consolation of knowing that a dotty father's thoughts of love and cheer back home are abiding with and sustaining him as he goes about the duties of road building for the state. Pendleton is just where his father willed that he should be under the circumstances. Pendleton was convicted in Judge Barnhill's court and fined $25,00 and costs. The parent was displeased with the punishment meted out to his son. He wanted the boy to serve time on the roads and told the court as much. The sentence was changed to four months on the chain gang. Looked At A Still While It Was Red; Got Year In Jail It does not pay to sit and look upon a still while it is red. It is even hazardous business to loiter around one when it is cold. W. O. Luquire, of Chatham, N. C., has discovered the truth of the former statement much to his sorrow. Recently Luquire and a colored man, Bob Evans were caught sitting up with a still. The white man testified against the others and thought he had immunized himself. Moreover, he said he was just looking at the still while it was red. Judge Barnhill, of Raleigh, couldn't see it that way. The Turlington act of North Carolina does bestow certain favors upon persons who turn up offenders, but Judge Barnhill couldn't just see where Luquire came in under the benefits of this law. Luquire was sentenced to one year. He appealed. Pittsburgh American Suspends Publication Pittsburgh, Pa., Jan. 14—It has been reported that the Pittsburgh American Publishing Company publishers of the Pittsburgh American of which N. J.

Prices Marked Low PRICES MARKED BOW Mr. Bungstein, proprietor of the store, who is well-known by the local colored public, in a statement to the Journal and Guide, impatiently declared that this sale will be one of the most remarkable for price cutting and value-giving ever held by a clothing store of this city. When the Religious One-Price store was on Church street, where it did business for a number of years, it was then regarded as one of the last stocked uptown clothing establishment in the city, and the prices obtaining there were considered to be as low or lower than those prevailing anywhere else in Norfolk. When the store moved to its Main street location, where its floor since was just about doubled, its stock of quality merchandise likewise was doubled. Downtown the business has enjoyed a very encouraging success, stated the proprietor, and during the next two weeks it will be the aim of the store to unload thousands of dollars worth of mid-winter goods in order to clear the shelves for an immense shipment of spring stock. In a whole page advertisement in this paper detailed prices on several lines of the goods that are to go in this sale are announced. The most festive and thrifty shopper will doubleslash realize at once that in the prices here announced there positively are many genuine bargains. For instance, all-wool overcoats are priced as low as $15.00; all-wool water proof top coats as low as $24.50; and all-wool suits as low as $16.65. And there are men's shirts, socks, neckwear, overalls, caps and underwear marked at ridiculously low prices. The Reliable One-Price Store carries besides a most excellent line of men's dress wear, most durable working garments, and clothes that are specially made for the running school boy. On the last day of the sale $10.00 in gold will be given for the best letter received at the store telling why the writer prefers to deal at the Reliable One-Price Store. Mr. Bluestein stated that he would be pleased to have all of his old customers to attend the sale early so as to make choice selection before the lot has been picked over. He said that he appreciates the patronage these customers have extended the store in the past, and assures them that uniform courtesy for which his place is known, will prevail throughout the sale, just as it does in his regular selling service.

Philadelphia, P a —Beginning with the respective leagues of the East and West being called to order at noon Wednesday, January 6, and ending with the Rube Currie deal that was consummated at the close of the joint session Saturday the cowers who control colored baseball of the country sat in council at the Christian Street Y. M.C.A. in the Second Annual Joint Meeting of the two organized bodies since the dove of peace settled down on the hitherto warring factions. The meetings were marked by the concerted amicable actions of the baseball moguls and are for a few spasmatic outbursts confined to the respective meetings personality reigned supreme. The delegation from the wide-open spaces consisted of Andrew "Bube" Foster, representing the American Giants and the Western Cubans, J. L. Wilkinson of the St. Louis Stars, L. B. Derrick of the Detroit Stars and Warring Jewel who owns the Indianapolis A. B. Cs. A full quota of the Eastern lage owners are on hand to greet the Western representatives: Chas. B. Johnson of the Bacharach Giants, Nat. C. Strong of the Brooklyn Giants, James J. Keenan of the Lincoln Giants, Alexandra Pomczek of the Cuban Stars, C. W. Brothers of the Harrisburg Giants, Chas. P. Spedden of the Baltimore Black Sox and Edw. Bolden, Chair of the Hilliade Club represented the East. Eastern League Annual Meeting By a unanimous vote officers of the Eastern Colored League were reelected fo; another year where upon Ed. Bolden was retained as chairman. James J. Keenan as treasurer, his former duties being split and Chas. Spesdén elected as secretary. To the end that the game be elevated the commissioners, went on record that all fines previously incurred during the 1925 season by players and had been paid by club owners were considered unpaid and liable for collection in the event the amount of fine had not been deducted from players salary. Managers, players and subordinate employees who are not financially interested in a league club come under the ban for releasing for publication matter considered detrimental to the welfare of the league and heavy penalties will be inflicted for violation of this ruling. For the information of the press the league secretary will furnish names and addresses of club owners and persons in authority to release articles pertaining to official business. John Henry Lloyd, who is property of the Bacharack Giants, is angling for his offer in order to accept an offer to lead Jim Keenan's Lincoln Giants. However, Charlie Johnson, who is looking after the interest of the Atlantic City owner, turned a deaf ear to the appeal and it looks as though a trade or sale will have to be effected to enable John Henry to leave the shoreshore contingent. Newark A. B. C's Admitted What proved to be the real bone of contention in the Eastern body was the controversy over admitting the Newark, N. J. club that had previously applied for a franchise. This same issue necessitated the league meeting being continued the second day when the Newark Club was admitted. Wilbur C. Crelin, who is heading the new entry advised that the club would play all home games at David's Stadium, the new home of the Newark International League Club. The park is now being constructed and will be ready for use about April 15. With the admission of the Newark Club it rounds out an eight club circuit for the East. DEHART HUBBARD WINS IN FIRST APPEARANCE Dehart Hubbard, National College and Western Conference sprint champion, in his first Eastern appearance in the opening meet of the Metropolitan A. U. card in the Patterson, N. J., armory, won the 60-gard special in six and two-fifth seconds, which is one-fifth of a second from the world's indoor record. Hubbard failed to qualify in the 60-gard handicap, in which he was entered. In the same race with the University of Michigan Ace were Louis Clarke, record holder for the 100-dash dash; Chester Bownan and Eric Dawkins. Hubbard won by two yards. Dawkins came in second and Clarke finished third. M.T. LEBANON BAPTIST CHURCH Services on last Sunday were very good, beginning with the early morning prayer meeting. Each Sunday school class made a fine report, the pastor's class holding the banner. Rev. S. P. Dixon preached SALE OF RUBE CURRIE TO AMERICAN GIANTS ON LY TRADE DEAL; A. B. C's ADMITTED TO ASSOCIATION. The 1925 office holders of the Negro National League were given a solid vote for re-election. Andrew "Rube" Foster continues as president, Quincy J. Gillmore, secretary; and J. L. Wilkinson, treasurer. Advance information to the effect that both Birmingham and Memphis Clubs would be dropped and the circuit cut to a six club league went somewhat awry. The Memphis club will be dropped from the circuit and the Tennessee players will be held to create a new club. The Birmingham club will again be in the field, but the Alabam contingent will be headed by another owner since Joe Rush has given up his affiliation with the Black Barons. This gives the Western loop seven clubs in line and between now and time for the umpire to yell play, General Rube intends to line up another city that will balance the circuit. The National League will adhere to the system of dividing the league race in halves and playing an elimination series to decide the league championship. Limit Salaries Realizing that many of the clubs in both leagues have been playing a losing proposition relatives to the top heavy salaries that are being paid and where figures show that it does not come in at the gate, it was decided to set a salary limit to be adhered to by all clubs, the figure reached was three thousand dollars per month for the pay roll of any club. Decide Upon No Associate Members One application for associate membership to organized baseball and the proposition rejected. Play All Independent Clubs The ruling that prohibited playing colored clubs that were not members of either league was amended to the effect that all league clubs were free to play any club with the exception of those harboring league players. Player Rooster Submitted With the exception of the newly admitted Newark club, all of the clubs turned in the reserve list of ball players for 1926. The few changes that were made were due to several Memphis players being placed on other Western League teams. Not a single controversy ensued and the lists were duly ratified by the respective leagues. The Newark owner advised that he had a club in the making and would soon be in position to release his line-up. The Currie Deal The only deal that was put thru during the convention was the sales of pitcher Robe Currie to the American Giants. The transfer was or a cash consideration and no other players involved. Thursday night an elaborate spread was tendered the visiting league moguls at the Marion Ten Room. Aside from the baseball contingent, many distinguished visitors, sport writers and fans from other cities were present. SOUTHERN BASE BALL LEAGUE ORGANIZED Birmingham, Ala., Jan. 14.—A Negro Southern baseball league, to play the 1926 season, was organized at Birmingham Monday for a meeting for that purpose at the Pythian Temple. Eight clubs will comprise the circuit, and each of these, Birmingham, Memphis, New Orleans, Houston, Atlanta, Montgomery, Albany and the Cuban All-Stars were represented in person with the exception of the Cubans, whose proxy looked after their interests. The baseball moguls prepared for business and each club evinced good faith by depositing $500 with Joe Bush, president as franchise money and $70 for promotion purposes. It was an agreeable surprise to backers of the movement to organize the loop that the franchise (ees should be so promptly taken care of and the success of the coats assured. the league seceded. It was voted that five per cent of the gross gate receipts go to the central organization as a league fund. Playing rules, umpires, park rents and other matter of interest to the various clubs were also discussed. Besides President Rush, other officers named were: Vice president, Henry Hanson of Montgomery, and secretary Montgomery of Albany, Ga. at 11:30 in the absence of the pastor. His secession was very acceptable to the congregation. The B. Y. P. U. vendered an excellent program at 5:30 o'clock. Rev. Dixon preached again at night. On next Sunday the pastor will preach morning and evening. FROM THE PRESS BOX By WILLEY A. JOHNSON, JR The Tiger's Chance The recent edict of the New York State Boxing Commission gives Tiger Flowers the chance of his lifetime. Greb has met the demands of the Commission and a bout has been, at least, tentatively arranged for February 26, at the New Madison Square Garden. This fight involves a championship and a title in a division that no Race fighter has had the honor of holding. If Flowers is the victor over the Pittsburgh Windmill, he will be the first man of color to hold the middleweight championship and the third southpaw to wear the crown. The winning of the title itself, would be enough glow and glamour for the Georgia Deacon, without the additional embellishments. Flowers stands a good chance of taking the scheduled fray. To his credit, he already has chalked up a decision against the champion in their bout at Fremont, O. The Atlanta battler gave as good as he received from the heedy Greb and was awarded the popular verdict. He experienced the same thing in this fight that he experienced in the fiasco with Mike McTigue, the judges seeing otherwise. Flowers' spectacular rise is only spotted with the two defeats at the hands of the hard socking Jack DeLaney, but despite that, he is still regarded as a menace and conceded equal chances with the best in the racket. Race fighters have held four world's titles in the boxing game and these fellows reigned supreme, meeting all-comers, taking them on as fast as they sprang up. There are nine divisions in boxing now, but at the time most of these champions held the fort against all invaders there were only eight recognized classes. The addition of the Junior lightweight class makes the nine. All-American elevenes are growing as numerous as Fords. At every turn, you see one. There may be enough teams in the country for every Tom-Dick and Harry to pick one. Followers may rest contented hereafter. If their favorite player doesn't appear on one eleven, he's sure to land a berth before the picking and selecting is over. Again, nearly everyone who picks an All-American claims it to be an authentic one and this leaves the fans as befuddled as before. It can be justly said that, a very few of them are relied upon. Fans pick up, read them and pass them on as any other piece of uninteresting news matter. Many of them are looked upon with much apprehension. Keep it up fellows, they furnish good bed-time stories during the long, cold winter nights. DeHART HUBBARD'S SPORT REVIEW By DEHART HURBARD World's Broad Jump Title Holder The Basketball Muddle Some time ago one of our prominent sport writers suggested that an amateur basketball league he formed among the leading teams of the country. This plan was looked upon with favor by a number of cities, but nothing ever came of it. It seemed that amateur teams were hard to locate in these wild spaces of our fair land. So, the rather good suggestion went the way of other good suggestions. Every year a number of teams claim some kind of championship. Every team is a champion, if only the champion of the street upon which they hang out in their leisure moments. There are more championship basketball teams than there are All-American football teams, which is going some. This is absurd and should be straightened out. Two leagues could easily be formed—one East and one West. The winners of the league championships could play a special series to determine the national champion. Then we would be getting somewhere. In the West Cincinnati, Dayton, Columbus, Detroit, Louisville, Indianapolis and Chicago, all have amateur teams. Why couldn't they play in a league? They play each other anyway. Some definite results could be accomplished in a league. Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, New York, Washington, Baltimore and one or two other teams could get together and have a regular season. The idea is not a bad one and deserves a trial. The writer will be glad to cooperate in forming such leagues. Another Coming Athlete Up in Detroit there is a boy who knowing the untruth of his asses will be heard from in national athletics. He is Bill Loving, and he "Maybe you are right. But goes to Cass Tech High school of that were the case, and judge that city. From well known facts, I show. Loving was recently elected cap-think the Jews would outjump allain of the Cass Tech team, one of other races by several feet." All-Americans TURNS I THE BOX JOHNSON, JR. Tiger Flowers has been and is very much unlike other fighters who have graced the squared circle. Usually, when a fighter suffers a set-back, he's forget and has to start all over again. He loses much of the glow that followed in his wake, but Flowers had brief upsets, and they weren't very far apart. In spite of this, he's still carrying on and those set-backs didn't seem to affect the Tiger much. Instead of having to fight hard to gain his way back to the foreground, he took his time, fighting in the usual style, with same frequency, and is now considered the most logical contender for two titles, that of Paul Berlenbach, light heavyweight champion and Harry Gieb, middleweight champion. Jimmy Slattery was going along at a rapid pace and hailed as a coming title holder, but—hiff Shade landed on the button and nice little Jimmy was mussed up. Very little is heard of Slattery now. Since the time he suffered his setback, Flowers has been upset twice but is still highly regarded and is now a double contender. Champions of Today Champions of today have a rather easy going time, especially Jack Dempsey. Back in the days when fighters were fighters and practiced their professions at frequent intervals, there was plenty of action among the title holders, but now, things have changed quite a bit. Fighters win titles and stay out of the game as long as they can. Those men of yesteryears, ford for the love and glory of the game, but money has now contaminated the sport so that there are a number of fighters in the game who have no love at all for the sport. They have been attracted by such exhilarant prices. Surely when an individual does not love his work, there's very little willingness to become very active. Of course, there are exceptions at the present time. Some of the champions are willing to mix it with any logical opponent. They are a comparative few, though. Berlenbach seems to be the best example of the real champion. Benny Leonard can not be forgot. He was forever active and one of the best liked fighters of the present era. He was as popular as any title holder and more so than a great number. It will be a great day, for the game when a national boxing body is formed, whose duty it will be to control the sport and force each and every scrapper in the racket to do his share in the practicing of the art or profession of fist-cuffing. Until this is done, there will always be inactive champions, men who gain titles and use them, only for pecuniary gain. UBBARD'S REVIEW the few such cases on record. Last year he was the backbone of the track team, and well deserved the honor given him. He has run the high hurdles in 15 4-5 seconds, the low hurdles in 24 4-5 seconds, and has high jumped 5 feet 10 inches. These records are much better than the average high school performance, and promise great things for the future. Bill is the kind of a chap who takes care of himself, and he will make good, or I miss my guess. "Jack Dempsey's duty to Country to Fight." Headline. It was his duty to fight in 1917 too, but that didn't mean anything to him. Why should we expect him to do his duty now, when there is no more than Harry Wills to bother him? Howard's recent victories on the basketball floor indicate that she is getting away from her fraternity bugaboo and means to assume her rightful place in the sport world. The Negro Heel Last summer an amusing incident that is worth relating occurred on one of the writer's trips. I was discussing jumping with a number of white sports writers. One of them seemed to have formed theories on the subject, so he lead the discussion. "Don't you think the colored man's jumping ability comes partially from the size of the heel? It seems that his extra large heel means more muscles are concentrated in the back of the leg, and so he can get more power in his jump." I didn't know whether or not he was kidding or was serious, too, knowing the untruth of his assertion. I very gravelly replied. "Maybe you are right. But if that were the case, and judging from well known facts, I should think the Jews would outjump all other races by several feet." RNS IN BRILLI HO HUM! SOME MORE MYTHICAL AGGREGATIONS HO HUM!

Of course players have "off days" just as all athletes but no player should have more than one "off day" out of eight or a season if he expects to be selected on mythical elevens. Fortunately, I have at some time seen twenty of the twenty-two members on the above teams in action. Ritchie and Stevenson, the exceptions but reports warrant their selection. I shall not attempt to name the various position and give the requirements necessary to fill each position. Other selections have mentioned the requisites of various players, there are no perfect players but the above are to me the most nearly perfect. Take it or leave it. FIRST TEAM Lancaster—Lincoln—L.

Since 1918 there has never been a white champion in the broad-jump, Sol Butler, Ned Gourdin and the writer, have seen to it that our record has been kept clean. Sol and Ned have retired, and the writer may do so soon, so we have to get busy to find a successful successor so we can carry on the record. Hop Hubbard, the well known basketball star really deserves his name of "Hop". Every season he hops to a different team. Announ SPERTN Announcement SPERTNER'S, Inc.

TRACK MEET Schoolboy runners of New York, fitting down the indoor tracks at killing paces, reached unprecedented heights and as Gus Moore and Otto Rosner, fought brilliantly to beat the field, they both amused records. The story can be best told in the words of J. P. Abramson, of the New York Herald-Tribune: "Two schoolboy runners of New York yesterday accomplished feats hitherto unequalled in the annals of interscholastic track and field competition in this city. One ran a half-mile in 1:59 4-5 and another won a mile race in 4:31. "The heroes of these unprecedented performances were Otto Rosner, blond-haired star of New Utrecht High School, and Gus Moore, invincible Negro miler of Boys' High, and the setting for their greatest efforts was De La Salle Institute's annual indoor games for high and prep schools held in the 102d Engineers' Armory before a wildly enthusiastic crowd of 6,000 youngsters. Both Races Are Gems "The great races of Rosner and Moore were gems of the purest rays. The former's victory in the 880-yard run was by far the more spectacular, for he came through with a tremendous, all-conquering drive through the final lap after a sizzling race from the crack of the gun, and, while 6,000 persons turned the huge drill shed into a bedlam, the blond-haired youth nosed out Jerry Gorman, of Manual Training High School, the P.S. A. L. indoor quarter mile champion for the last two years by a margin of two years. "Moore's triumph was scored without competition. He added just another glorious performance to a long list of unbroken successes indoors and outdoors and over hill and dale extending through the last fifteen months. His time of 4:31 was a full second better than his own previous best time of 4:32, set last year in the De Witt Clinton games, and Moore won by 120 yards with most of the field interrupting his speedy progress on the last lap. His time also bettered the listed P. S. A. L. indoor standard by more than twelve sec- Be Prepared for the Next Cold Snap Norfolk Cool & Ice Co.

For four laps he suffered Irving Roth of Stuyvesant and Albert Erda of Poly Prep to remain at his heels, then he tore loose and left his main rivals far in the ruck. Running with easy stride and faultless motion, the little-limbed Negro youth of Brooklyn passed the first quarter in 1:02, the half in 2:10, the three-quarter in 3:18, and the mile in 3:31. During the last lap Moore had to slow down considerably for he was forced to go around many of the schoolboys and collided with one or two. "Irving Roth, who has been trailing Moore in all his races lately, captured second place, and third went to Philip Shacklette of Manhattan Prep, the private schools cross-country titleholder."

SHILOH BAPTIST CHURCH The morning prayer meeting at Shiloh Church last Sunday was one that will long be remembered by those witnessing it. The teachers and scholars of the Sunday School are displaying intensive efforts to greatly increase the school's enrollment. At 11:30 the pastor preached one of his best sermons on the subject, "Is it well with thy husband; is it well with thy child?" 1 Kings 4:36. Holy Communion was administered at 3:30 o'clock. The pastor preached again at 8 o'clock on "Heavenly Knowledge." The B. Y. P. U. met at 6 o'clock and the topic was interestingly discussed by the young people. The orchestra rendered excellent music.

East Orange, N. J.—Installation services for Rev. C. M. Long, formerly of Norfolk, Va., as pastor of Calvary Baptist Church, this city, will begin the week of January 17 and continue to the end of the month. More than 45 persons have been added to the church since the calling of Rev. Long. Many members who have come back were away for a number of years. The pastor preached a wonderful sermon Sunday morning, January 10, taking his text from the 6th chapter of Hebrews 15th verse. His subject was "Abraham's Realization of the Promise of God" Giving historical facts in conjunction with the laying of the foundation for the sermon, the pastor explained how Abraham saw the promise of God after patiently waiting and enduring for the period of 99 years and the realization taking place in the 100th year. The evening service was well attended and many candidates which have been taken into the Church during the last three months were baptized. The sermon was preached by the pastor along the lines of baptism. The Sunday school elected new officers and teachers for the year and the success is bright before them. The choirs of the church have been vested with the robes for regular service. These robes make the singing and service more sacred, it seems. The installation of the pastor will take place beginning the week of January 17, and ending on the 31st. Many good things are in store for the church.

The Feast of Lights at Grace Church last Sunday evening was a great success. The Church was crowded with every available seat taken. With a very bright star over the altar, the only light in the church the three wise men, Messrs. Chas. S. Carter, Edward King and F. M. Johnson, dressed in their Oriental costumes, came slowly up the aisle chanting, "We three kings of Orient are." The choir joined in the chorus. After reaching the chancel each wise man sang his stanza and presented his gift of gold, frankincense and myrrh. Gold signifying that the Christ Child was to be king, frankincense that He was God and myrrh that He was to suffer death. Evening Prayer was sung and Rev. Harris preached a sermon for the occasion. He showed how the scene in Matt. 2, was reproduced and taking the idea of Christ's manifestation to the wise men as the first manifestation to the Gentiles, the universality of the gospel was emphasized. He showed how Old Testament prophesy was fulfilled and how Christ during his ministry had tried to overcome the barriers erected against the Gentiles and how He commissioned his disciples to "preach the gospel to all nations." SHILOH BAPTIST The Lady Usher Board of Shiloh Baptist Church met on January 5, at the home of Mrs. Eliza Felton, 910 Washington avenue, with Mrs. Felton presiding. The meeting was well attended.

A debt of gratitude, he said was owed to the Northern men and women who thought so much of us that immediately after the Civil War they came to the South and under great handicaps they gave their means and themselves to bring us out of darkness into light. The responsibility tests upon you now to carry on that gospel that you have received. At the end of the services all lights were put out and a candle was lighted on the altar and Rev. Harrius lighted those of the wise men and they in turn lighted the first, in each ben in the church and each one passed on his light to the next until everyone in the church had his light. This showed how the gospel had been carried from generation down to generation.

DRIVES FOR LEGAL DEFENSE FUND Large Crowd Attends Mass Meeting At Second Calvary Baptist Church-Sunday Afternoon; Many Subscribe. The large crowd that attended the mass meeting under auspices of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. in Second Calvary Baptist Church, Sunday afternoon, gave evidence that this organization has begun actively to function in this community. The purpose of the meeting was to lay the nucleus of a legal defense fund in co-operation with the legal defense of the national body and for possible local requirements. Although unequivocally expressing the opinion that the time has come for Negroes to stand up as real men and to confront with both their money and with the aid of enlightened public sentiment all illegal and unmoral obstructions to progress thrown in their pathway, the speeches and the tenor of the meeting was marked by a lack of racial animus. Greater economic achievements for the race were urged for the New Year. Notice was taken of the progress of the Washington residential segregation case now before the U. S. Supreme Court; the recent Norfolk residential segregation ordinance, and the killing of little Lepy Strother by a merchant on last Monday. In the last named instance, the speakers urged against passionate demonstrations or prejudgment of the circumstances involved. It was decided, however, that the local branch do whatever it might to see that all the facts in connection with the case be laid before the courts. The legal defense fund was started with pledges and cash amounting $106,00, with a number of people subscribing. action of business the ladies were served a delicious repast.

Apply at 719 Cumberland street. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Early prayer meeting was led interestingly by Deacon N. A. Overton. At the hour for preaching, Dr. Richard H. Bowling arose and captivated his hearers by simply reading his text 1 Kings 22:48, and announcing his subject, "Ships That Never Leave Port." This subject was thoughtfully and interestingly discussed by the speaker. He cited graphically some human ships that never leave port, among them, individuals who die before old age, having accomplished nothing; far-sighted investor who never get any returns on their investments; and well trained and ambitious young people, who for one reason or another get nowhere in spite of their exceptional ability and determined ambition. Every hearers went away with an abundance of facts for meditation. Following the morning services Rev. Bowling preached two funerals. Quite a crowd returned at night and listened with interest and profit to Rev. F. W. Jacobs on the subject, "The Essential Thing in Christianity," text 2 Tim. 1:12. The speaker said, the essential thing in Christianity cannot be possessed until an internal experience has been wrought in the heart. This experience, "I know" is something of which one is not ashamed; and this experience "I know" motivates one to a life of useful service. The R.' H. Bowling, st., quartet rendered a selection to the delight of all. The Sunday School was largely attended and greatly enjoyed. The B. Y. P. U. held a joint program with the Christian Endeavor of St. John A. M. E. Church, which was very largely attended and an unusually interesting program rendered. "The Man Who Had 24 Fingers and Toes" Sermon Topic "The Man Who Had Twenty-four Fingers and Tons" will be the subject of a special sermon by Rev. Richard H. Bowling at the First Baptist Church this Sunday night. He says of this thought-provoking subject, "Is it not remarkable how full the Bible is of these human interest items? Everybody flocks to the side-show in a circus to take a book at the freaks, the poor unfortunates born with no ears or with only one eye or with hair-covered faces. Everybody reads the story of the twins joined together in body from birth. The unusual has interest for us all. And here in the sacred writings occurs the mention of an ancient freak, a man with six fingers and six toes on each hand and foot respectively. Best of all, there is suggested by such a character a lesson helpful for people of every class and age." Services at this church begin promptly at 7:30 and close before 9 o'clock. Church Serves Old Folks Dinner To Large Number The Good Will Baptist Church held its seventh annual old folk-dinner January 0, the day generally known as old Christmas. A large number of old persons were served a sumptuous feast and intense devotional services were conducted in connection with the dinner. The pastor, Rev. W. H. Evans preached a most searching sermon. Honolulu's building boom continues, permits taken out in a recent month totalling $800,000. DEDICATORIAL SERVICES ON IN LOGAN PARK Prominent Ministers Join In Impressive Ceremonies To Aid In Dedication of New And Handsome Edifice. Dedicatorial services of the new First Baptist Church, Logan Park which have been in progress since Sunday, December 27, and will continue until Friday, January 22, are meeting with marked success. Rev. J. E. Williams is the pastor. The church is a hardship office, and stands in marked contrast to the building from which the congregation has recently moved. It represents the fruition of 16 years of labor of the present pastor and his loyal officers and members.

SECOND SECTION George Fost To Influence Sympathy W Declares That In The There Is A Vast Mi "Old Time Religion" The Heart. By LUCIEN H. WHITE Recently, at Tuskegee Institute, Mr. George Foster Peabody of New York City and Saratoga Springs, a philanthropist who has shown the liveliest and most helpful interest in the perpetuation of Negro music, both the folk song and the spiritual, delivered an address in which he said some fine things about the influence of Negro music. Incidentally, he mentioned that a few days previously he had heard over in Georgia, of a colored choir leader whose singers could not sing Negro spirituals because they did not know any, and his comment was: "Think how poverty stricken was that choir leader who did not want to sing the spirituals." Why? He wanted to be like white folks. It is not good to be like anybody else than yourselves, whether it is a white man, red man, yellow man or any other type. It is worth while to try to imitate anyone. We have thinking machine of ours and we want to use it and like ourselves and give the world what we have." The editor of the Shreveport (La.) Sun took exceptions to the use of the phrase "be like white folks" and in what has been termed, "a rather vicious way," commented very adversely to what he considered Mr. Peabody's attitude, the comments appearing in a Sun editorially. A brought up comment by Peabody's attention, and Mr. Peabody replied at length not only on the particular matter of Negro music, but also upon the general, to the editor in a letter that sets forth in an unusual manner his attitude, on the question of "race superiority." "There is so much of interest in what Mr. Peabody had to say about the influence of Negro music in his Tuskegee community," he comments brought out in his letter to the editor to the Shreveport Sun, that both the address, in part, and his letter are reproduced herewith. Excerpts From Address "Mr. Boileau told you of his first impression of a great mass of people singing these wonderful spirituals. Some had occasion to study and think a great deal about them. I have had opportunity to think with Dr. Moton and others about them. I am sure you saw that remarkable young man—George James Nicholas Ballanta Taylor. The Taylor' was put on when his grandfather was baptized. His name was originally only Ballanta and I have advised him to use simply the Ballanta. So he has dropped 'Taylor' in the great work he is doing in writing the life of Afra McFarland, the he discovered at Fort Valley, at Hampton Institute, at Tuskegee leading at Penn School on the island of St. Helena, which he finds is based on seventen notes in the octave with over-tones and under-tones in between our twelve notes poor white people have never been able to sing. And as I hear your Mrs. Lee's beautiful voice leading, I think how true Mr. Ballanta was in telling us what a vast mine of resources you have in this music of your race. I heard the other day of some singers of your people who said they did not know the spirituals when asked, over in Georgia, to sing some of them. Think of how poverty stricken was that choir leader who did not want to sing the spirituals. Why? He wanted to be like white folks. It is not good to be like anybody else than yourselves, whether it is a white man, red man, yellow man or any other type. It is not worthwhile to try to imitate anyone. We have a thinking machine of our own and we want to use it and be like ourselves and give to the world what we have. Music is Language of Heart "And so I go away enriched and inspired. When I think of the old time religion," it is a real religion of the heart which is closely related to the beautiful life to come, which is what Andrew said about Jesus, "Come and see, we have Sound Him!" This is no question of sentiment or of theories. Christ said, "Out of the heart are the issues of life." And so I see before twelve hundred minds who are going to think straight, who are going to sing out so that they will see that this is real and worthwhile. "Yesterday, I had the great pleasure of meeting Colonel Ward, that fine surgeon of the Army of the United States, who is so splendidly organizing and drawing this to the hospital the government held. He told me of a very interesting experience when he was in France. "His regiment was foll owing some white troops who had circulated various reports about the character and conduct of Negro troops. They were going into some other sections of France, free in the sense that they were not so strictly under orders. He was in regio troops and thought with the frie ming of the white troops with the French population. We will be free, we will go here and here, they said. The French people are most hospitable and generous." 13 Whites And Five Colored Await Execution In Ga. Prison An Inspired Act "They are a very grateful people and endure many things. But he said, 'We colored troops cannot do that. We are called by these facts to a better and larger life, noblesse oblige, to be something better and higher than that.' "And the spirit of the Lord put it into our mind to sing the spirituals; and so the voices of those soldiers rose in those old melodies about and listened. The women hung out of the windows. Not a word of the language could they understand. But the melody and the theme were beautiful and it went deep down their hearts. And Major Ward said to the commanding officer, 'Let's sing some more.' And the French children and men and women came and crowded about. The tears ran down their faces in spirit and in understanding what was being sung. It was great music, the language of the heart to which the French people responded. "And as Mrs. Lee leads you with her voice in those beautiful overtones and undertones, she gets all our hears under the spell of your music. And those soldiers were models of soldiers of whom every citizen in the United States could be a soldier in an atmosphere which was the true atmosphere of the heart, of which desas Christ tells us." Letter To The Sun Editor "Editor of The Shreveport Sun: I have not the pleasure of your acquaintance but I fortune cely have had called to my attention the editorial in your issue of November 20. I beg to express my appreciation of your very kind and gracious reference to me. "I venture further, however, to ask you to consider another point of view respecting my use of the phrase "like white folks." I beg to assure you that I have not the least sympathy with any view of race superiority. I deny that any race has superiority. I think this is clearly demonstrated by our teaching of the teaching of Christ, who is superior to Superior Man of all history. He says very clearly: "Whoever would be chieftest among you let him be the servant of all." Of course it is the modern realization of what true service is and clear understanding of the Life of Christ as one of service makes it very clear that the true basis of any precedence is a matter of individual character and can in no sense apply to the race. While it is true that what we call civilization has made more rapid advances through the evolution of knowledge than any other, race. Yet it seems to me that it is quite clear that this advance has been very largely due to the cleaved apprehension of justice and mercy on the part of these races because of their fuller knowledge of the teaching of Jesus Christ. Has Affectional Faculty "I recall a letter I received twenty-five years ago from a friend orientation in public life, in which he says: "I do not know very much about the Negro, but I do know that while I am in the Anglo-Saxon race have developed intellectual faculties, the Negro has developed more of the --- According to a news story in a recent issue of the Atlanta Constitution, there are 18 citizens of that state, who look to the coming of the New Year with grave foreboding. They are men who have been convicted of capital offenses and face the death penalty. Of these 18 men, five are colored and 13 are white all of whom await execution dates or appeal decisions. Not one of the colored men were convicted on charges against women, but two of the white men were. The Constitution said ten days ago, no date for any of the cases had been set, all of the cases being in the appeal stage, but with the resentencing of Jones and Blondworm of Coggeshall and McCormack to die on January 29, date has been set for: four of the cold男 men. Willie Jones and Gervis Bloodworth, convicted twice of the murder of H. F. Underwood in Taylors county in 1923, have been sentenced the sixth time to die upon the gulfs, the last date being January Ted Coggeshall and F. W. McClelland convicted of the death of Professor W. C. Wright, school head of Putnam county, on March 4, last, were Wednesday resentenced at Eatton to do electric chair on January 29, an appeal for new trial being denied by the supreme court. Crisis Youth Convicted Nabier, a crisp county youth has been convicted of an alleged attack upon a girl, and he awaits a new trial appeal. R. G. Curington was found guilty affectual faculties of life.' This seems to me to correspond with what Jesus Christ said: 'Out of the heart are the issues of life.' Therefore I am inclined to think that, taking them generally, the Negroes of the United States have shown themselves superior to the white people through their development of the patience and endurance and the teaching that has made clear to be the first quality of mankind. What I mean is the living up to the principles taught by Jesus Christ to 'Love them that persecute you and do all manner of evil against you.' This was, I think, brought out more generally in the conduct of the Negroes in the South during the Civil War, think, also, in the case of the man who returned from France to act like Christians instead of like devils, as many expected when the Ku Klux Klan was first organized. "May I say that my more than 50 years of active association with the cultivation of Negro character through association with Hampton, Tuskegee, Fort Valley, Owolona, Piney Woods and many other schools has given me very definite support in supporting the splendid capacity of the Negro race to show the feelings of the Christ life, and, as well, I have had occasion to observe the great art capacity of the Negro race. The Negro Art Capacity "This has been most notable in music. I have recently had the good fortune to be associated with Mr. Nicholas George Julius Ballanta (Taylor), a native of Sierre Leone, whom I found to have one of the most powerful musical minds I have ever met with. I am asking to have sent to you a copy of "Opportunity," in which Professor or Alain Locke reviews his most scientific study of African music. I also had the good fortune to have some association with the notable work done by Mrs. Nathalie Curtis Berlin in the 1960s. I am having invited you a copy of the book, published by Hampton. One of the most eminent and brilliant of our musicians told me once that he considered Mrs. Berlin to have the finest musical mind of anyone in America. She was a niece of the late George William Curtis, one of the most splendid friends the Negro race ever had. She had no slightest feeling of race superiority but believed, as I do, that the Negro race has to be the evolution of true Christian civilization through the art talent so richly given to this race. "It is because I wish this distinctive quality of the Negro people to be emphasized as indicating that they have a very real contribution to make to our civilization that I am so urgent in pleading that they do not just copy 'white folks.' I believe if you will give study to the philosophy underlying my thought, you will come to the conclusion that the group of rural Negroes in Georgia made a great mistake in not singing their own quite remarkable music rather than singing something that all the heavens considered poor, unlucky to listen to, abiding by them did hear, because of their subtle sympathy with the Negro—an unfortunate sympathy in my mind, because sympathy was attached to a feeling of lack of capacity in the Negroes, whereas it is true that the Negro spirituals are beyond the capacity of white folks because of their very notable fulness of rhythm. "Mr. Ballanta has proved to his own satisfaction and to other musical scholars that the Negroes use (Continued on Page Ten) and given the death sentence for killing his brother in Talabo county several months ago. His case has been appealed. C. A. Wheeler was convicted recently in Emanuel county court in October for an alleged attack upon a young woman and was sentenced to be electrocuted. He is awaiting an appeal. At Fitzgerald, Oscar Mars is awaiting the outcome of an appeal, having been convicted and sentenced to die for the murder of his wife in Ben Hill county. Jones county juries have sentenced three men to die. Garrent Blindford and A. Wade Johnson were given death sentences when convicted of a crime against a woman, early in 1921. They await an appeal verdict. John D. Batcher was convicted this fall of killing his mother-in-law and was sentenced to the electric chair. His case has been appealed. Two Macon citizens received death sentence during 1925. James A. Swain was convicted in February of killing Walter Johnson on a Macon street. Swain also wounded James in the back in a law. His new trial appeal was recently argued in the state supreme court but decision has been handed down. John Howell, tried in Houston county on change of venue was convicted and given a death sentence for the murder of Harry Green, a deputy sheriff on the outskirts of May. He awaits a new trial appeal.

Citizens of all states have arisen with loud acclaim in offering their assistance in making the celebration a success. Among the persons interested are the teachers in the public schools, heads of various systems, residents of college, churchmen, and outstanding men of achievement in other important lines. The Superintendent of the State of New York will take note of it in his bulletin to the schools. The Department of Public Instruction of Utah says that the idea will find a willing response on the part of the school of that State. The Department of Education of Arkansas says out my suggestion, you have to make in bringing this matter before the colored teachers of Arkansas." The State Superintendent of Public Instruction of Delaware writes that after a conference with Mr. R. S. Grossley, who has agreed to head up the celebration in that State he will send out a message to the Negro teachers in that State. The Department of Negro Education of North Carolina has sent a similar letter to the Negro High Schools if that Commonwealth and expresses a willingness to do anything else, to bring the matter before the teachers of that jurisdiction. Mr. G. C.

S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE DECLARES MUCH OF GRAIN HARVESTED LAST YEAR UNFIT FOR SEED. Seed corn for 1926 planting offers an interesting contrast to that for last year, says the United States Department of Agriculture. From the staple point of maturing corn, the summer of 1924 was one of the poorest in many years. As a consequence there was every indication that there would not be enough seed corn to go around in the spring of 1925. An active campaign by the agricultural experiment stations and the Federal Department of Agriculture, audited by realization of the very evident danger, resulted in more seed corn being field selected and dried than ever before. Finally, unusually fast weather during September helped in improving corn to dry in the field without being damaged for seed purposes. Therefore an abundance of good seed corn was available for planting in 1925. In contrast, the summer of 1923 was unusually favorable for the rapid development of corn. The crop went into September in excellent condition and the prospects for seed corn were the best. Field selection of seed corn was put off in many cases because of these facts. Corn was grown in many farmers had selected their seed. These conditions have contributed to a prospective seed corn situation next spring which, while not serious may be unfavorable. In Iowa, for example, the temperature during the last week in October was low, zero weather occurring over more than half of the State. Corn containing more than 200 per cent moisture is required for the crop to be successful in such temperatures. Conditions belong to those in Iowa occurred very much of the time. Belt: Farmers did not have seed corn out of the field before the first froze should test it for germination as soon as possible. Directions for conducting these tests may be had from their State agricultural experiment station or the United State, Department of Agriculture.

It is not many years since so overwhelming was the majority of Negroes in the penitentiary that it was regarded practically as an institution for the incarceration of black criminals. But that is true no longer; the Negroes have lost the majority there, captured it—a shameful victory. "The can-aus of prisoners on color lines taken at the State penitentiary within the week revealed 37 more whites than Negroes. In South Carolina we can not fall back upon the 'foreign element' or the 'sum of European cities' alibi; such components of population are practically unknown here, forcing the Negroes into second place are chiefly of the 'old American stock.' "That census, of course, does not take into account chaining or outside convicts, where Negroes doubtless predominate, where its showing for the white, is nevertheless as deplorable, and two circuit judges fihappled, upon opening, their eyes, to the convict, to direct attention to helplessness and the increasing art taken the emily whites. Judge Featherstone at Spartanburg did not hold the counts guiltless. He quoted with approval twice of Jaime. Tefft saying that our criminal counts are a group of crimes with the changes in law on the criminal; and with the criminal who is, by chance, convicted. Then he continued. The criminals now are not all Negroes. I can remember when it was the rare thing in the world for a white man to be in session-court except for fighting or homicide, but now three-fourths of the cases of housebreaking and harcery and other similar crimes were being handled in stanford county last year there were 138 whites convicted against 117 Negroes. "While Jago, Featherstone was speaking in the upper part of the State, Judge Henry, addressing the grand jury of Richland county, at Columbia, was saying that time was when the state would be beheaded for murder or for defending; those offenses were not committed by him, but in looking through the list of indictments, he found numbers of whites charged with those crimes. "There is some cause for a Negro stealing," said the judge. "He was bought in, in slavery, or his ancestors were, and he thought it little harm to seize a little of the property belonging to his boss, but in these days, the race is on because he grows to which will occupy the other in the penitentiary." Iacz of training in the home believes this judge, has something to do with this condition. He continued: "There is apparently a breakdown in reverence for parental authority; if children have no regard for the authority of their parents, the chances are that they will have no regards for the law of the land. I believe in the wisdom of Solomon, "Spare the rod and the wounds of your child." We are making our reasons of responsibility with our reverence. There is a cult growing up which says we have no fixed moral standards—this lack of standards may have its beginning in the home. We, however, can't correct that here—we can merely put on the penalty here—the penalty that was not put on by the parent. "Thousands will agree: there is free for thought" in such presentations. But if the swelling tail of evil among whites is to be checked and turned back, measures more often than sorrowful thought must be found and applied."

JANUARY 16, 1926 LIGHTNING RODS REAL PROTECTION FOR BUILDINGS WHEN PROPERLY INSTALLED AS A SYSTEM THEY ARE ALMOST CERTAIN SAFEGUARD AGAINST LIGHTNING BOLTS. Lightning rods, although of scant vogue in these days, give real protection to buildings, declares the United States Department of Agriculture. Lightning rods, says the department, with their accompanying connections, when property installed as a system on a building or other structure, give nearly complete protection from lightning. Statistics from a State such as Iowa, where thunderstorms are frequent, show that more than 95 out of each 100 buildings - sustaining fire losses from lightning were not reduced. It is estimated that about 50 per cent of the farm buildings are reduced. Lightning rods, or more properly lighting conductors, are nearly always made of copper or heavily galvanized iron or steel, the former generally in the form of a stranded cable, the latter of star cross section twisted into a long spiral. Coping is somewhat the better in durability. Both kinds of conductors when correctly installed give satisfactory protection. Conductors Copper conductors should weigh not less than 3 ounces per foot; iron not less than 2 ounces per foot; or a little over 5 ounces per foot, says the Weather Bureau of the United States Department of Agriculture. Lightning conductors should be attached direct to the surface of a building without insulators. The air terminal- to protect upward-pointing parts of the roof should be secured against overturning by the wind, and the ground connection permanently moist soil, usually found at a depth of 8 to 10 feet below the surface. All joints should be permanently made and of low electrical resistance. Death Claims Well-Known N. Carolina Woman Como, N.

GEORGE FOSTER PEABODY PAYS T RIBU TE (Continued from page 7.) in their singing of the spirituals seventeen notes within the octave rather than the twelve of our classical music. It is because of these beautiful under and over tones that the first musicians are so full of admiration for him that he is able to subtle know of the frequent use of these themes by F. Cigna musicians, but no use of these themes has been comparable to that of one Mr. Nathaniel Dett, musical director at Hampdon, whose *Julia Daniel* was the most popular piece of piano music in the United States five years ago. Percy Granger, one of the greatest of our modern musicians, has unlimited enthusiasm for those Negro themes. The issue of St. Helena's high technical foreword by Mr. Ballantyne, recently has called forth much more favorable com- ments, as indicated by Professor Lester's review in Opportunity. "May I say that you have, in my opinion, a very definitely wrong angle in the associations of those spirituals with slavery. You make that a cause of offence in connection with them, whereas it is the glory of the Negro that while in such disparate state of subordination' his soul rose to the high and supreme faith in God and His Christ, and his wonderful distal temptation, he did not within the active to give this permanent setting of loyalty to this demonstration of joy.

Well, seven-eighths of the total outrages is nothing to be proud of, is it? A well known psychologist says that one is never defeated unless one admits it. That is very good theory, but it would be hard to convince a practical politician who had been a candidate for office that the verdict of ballots meant nothing to him if he turned up with a minority vote. The North Carolina lawyer who convinced a Pennsylvania judge that Negroes down home were often illegally tried and convicted of crime should try his persuasive powers along that line upon the judicial minds of his native state. Leonard Kip Rhinelander, Red Grange, Irving Berlin and a few others have demonstrated recently the road to fame is not so difficult as it used to be. A Prophet That Is Honored In His Own Country A number of citizens of Newport News have agreed among themselves to purchase an automobile, which they will present to the Newport News Star, the newspaper in turn to give the automobile away in a subscription campaign which it is to conduct in an effort to increase the circulation and prestige of the paper in its home city and vicinity. The singular thing about the affair is that the citizens of Newport News are so alert to the value of a good newspaper in a community that they would go down into their own pockets to raise a sum in excess of $2,000 to strengthen the arms of the publisher and to give more power to his paper. It is a tribute that is unique in the annals of newspaper history, and one of which Col. Matt N. Lewis, the publisher of the Star, may feel justly proud. Through his newspaper Col. Lewis has been serving Newport News faithfully for many years. He has permitted no worthy cause, to go unspoused, nor has he failed to combat anything which threatened to injure the community which he so much loved. Often he has kept his paper going at a keen personal sacrifice. Indeed he has sunk much of his personal estate into it. Now it is indeed refreshing to note that his fellow citizens have the appreciation, the decency and the intelligence to do the splendid thing that they are doing. * Exploiting A Bank Failure The Albemarle Bank at Elizabeth City closed its doors on Christmas eve and subsequent investigation by the state bank examiner discloses a shortage of approximately $30,000. The cashier voluntarily aurrendered himself to the authorities and is being held in jail under bonds of $25,000. The Albemarle Bank at Elizabeth City closed its doors on Christmas eve and subsequent investigation by the state bank examiner discloses a shortage of approximately $20,000. The cashier voluntarily surrendered himself to the authorities and is being held in jail under bonds of $25,000. There are a large number of bank failures each year, many of them under circumstances similar to the Elizabeth City failure. There are so many of them, in fact, that except to those whose reactions to news are unduly sensitive, reports of bank failures are seldom sensational. Because this particular failure happened to concern a Negro bank, accounts perhaps, for the very large amount of publicity given it, not only by the Elizabeth City papers, but in the state press. The Afro-American papers, the "red strip" variety particularly, have not failed to do their part in giving publicity out of proportion to the importance of the matter, to this bank failure. One Elizabeth City paper went so far as to publish a detailed list of the stockholders of the bank. That is the first time that such enterprising journalism has come to the notice of this writer. Stories dealing with nearly every angle of the bank failure, even down to the "white blood which flows in the veins of the Negro cashier" have been written and published in the Elizabeth City papers about this $30,000 bank failure.

Quite a deal has been published about this failure destroying the confidence of the Negroes of Northeastern Carolina in their leaders. "It will be twenty years" before they will regain this confidence. Wonder why? Also why is nothing said about white people losing confidence in themselves when one of their number wrecks a bank? Aren't colored people very much like white people in all that they think, feel and do? It is recalled that a lieutenant governor of North Carolina was recently tried and convicted of wrecking two or three banks, involving a loss of a million or more, and in none of the papers did we notice any solemn dissertation of what a, damaging effect it would have upon the white race, or even upon the Democratic administration of North Carolina. Now, one of the judges of the judicial system has proposed to the governor that the former lieutenant governor be permitted to exchange his prison term for a payment of $30,000 to depositors in one of the banks he wrecked, a degree of leniency which would not be expected to flow from such a source.

More recently a chairman of the Democratic party in North Carolina was convicted of wrecking a bank, involving a loss of $600,000. He was given a prison sentence but not a word did we hear about the damaging effect it would have upon the white people of North Carolina, or upon the Democratic party. Those cases were just bank failures, that were picked up in the ordinary run of the day's news. Such failures are occurring somewhere in the United States every day. Thoughtful people attribute them to natural causes, a large element of which is the failibility of human nature. But when a Negro bank fails it is different. It is news. It is like the story of some wiseacre who said that if a dog bit a man, that was not news; but if a man bit a dog that was news. Perhaps Negro banks are not expected to fail in proportion as those conducted by other racial groups do. The Attucks Theatre The recent installation of a Robert Morton pipe organ by the Attucks Theatre at a cost of $15,000,000 enhances considerably the entertainment facilities of that playhouse. There are now no theatres in the city that surpass the Attucks in entertainment features and facilities for the comfort of patrons. There may be some with more expensive appointments, but these superfulties do not add anything to the pleasure to be derived from theatre going by those of conservative aesthetic tastes. The efforts put forth by the present owners of the Attucks Theatre to give the public the very best in motion pictures, music and plays, at a very moderate outlay to the patron are worthy of the thoughtful consideration of Norfolk people and should be reciprocated. There are very few cities in the United States that can boast of a theatre of the type of the Attucks—in design, appointments, ownership and unique accommodations afforded its clientele. There is no other theatre in Norfolk in which this particular clientele may obtain the same accommodations to be had at the Attucks, and that is not said in derogation of any of the other theatres, because all of those of equal proportions with the Attucks were designed to meet the needs of a different clientele, and have very little, if anything to offer anyone else. The Attucks Theatre has a romantic history, holding for a comparatively few persons a touch of tragedy. The original designers and builders of the playhouse visualized a theatre which would represent and become a shrine, perhaps, in this particular section, of the cultural progress of the group in music and the dramatic arts, and for the less artistic delineation of an abundance of native talent. Before those hopes could be realized there occurred a transition in economic conditions locally which made business so difficult that liquidation was the only alternative for the romantic investors—or, more properly perhaps—adventurers. While this was accomplished with complete loss to the original owners, it was not without its compensations, for the property did not—thanks to a stalwart race business group, the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company—pass out of the hands of the race. It is now owned by this group, the members of which are doing everything within their power to bring to fruition, in every way consistent with sound business principles, the romantic, but highly laudable aspirations of the original owners and builders of the house. Recent months have witnessed renewed interest in the Attucks, and there is every reason to believe that the future success of the theatre is assured. Cerbainly the present owners and management deserve the unstinted support of Norfolk citizens. They have expressed by actions their faith in Norfolk. If Norfolk does less it will do the unnatural thing of discouraging soundly invested capital and opportunities for larger economic advancement; and that is unthinkable. Crime Decreasing Among Negroes; Increasing Among Whites It should be a master for general satisfaction that there have been so many public expressions recently by court officials concerning the decrease in crime among Negroes. Recently there have been statements from the bench in North Carolina and South Carolina to the effect that before the courts and in the prisons there is a noticeable decline in Negroes accused and convicted of crime and a corresponding increase of white offenders. While the Journal AND GUIDE takes no pride in the fact that crime is increasing in any element of the population, it is interesting to note that the increase among whites and decrease among Negroes has recently been commented on by a number of influential journals, for the simple reason that it is a subject with wide sociological implications. The State (Columbia, S. C.) in a recent editorial which is quoted in a news story elsewhere in this paper points to this general reversal of the dominant complexion of criminal court dockets in that state and concludes that in the subject there is "food for thought." The State makes no attempt to venture an explanation for this gaining the lead in disrepute before the law by white men of the South, but in an incidental reference to the political and economic status of the Negro in South Carolina it does remark: "He is making much, very much more money than he was ten years ago; and he does not require a compelling law to send his children to school. They troop there, rain or shine. He is dressing better and generally living better than he dreamed of doing a half generation ago." Right there The State, whether it realized it or not, put its finger on the cause for the decrease of crime among Negroes. That single paragraph in the South Carolina paper's editorial provides an all sufficient explanation as to why the criminal record of Negroes in Southern communities declines in contrast with that of the whites. Half a generation ago when Negroes were providing three-fourths of the activity for county sheriffs and criminal courts in the South, is the same time when Negro education was struggling for a footing in that section. Now the record of education has a holding check upon the record of crime. Here it is suggested that if South Carolina would remove the tremendous disparity between its annual per capita educational allotment for colored and white children, which is more than ten times as much for the latter as for the former, the Negro crime record of the state might all but fade away. On the other hand, why does crime among the whites increase simultaneously with the tremendous increase in educational advantages and wealth which that race enjoys? quotation from a statement by Judge Gary, the famous magistrate, in which he pays a wholly original but nevertheless deserved tribute to education. Elsewhere in the course of the same statement Judge Gary says: "The strength, character, reputation, and influence of a nation depend upon the education of the citizens. Education goes hand in hand, in support, as a part of religion and piety. "Ignorance breeds crime, cruelty, dishonesty, disease, and poverty. It results in sufferer decay, destruction, and obliteration. "Everything that is done THE GUIDE POST By RICHARD H. BOWLING Trains In The Desert For one whole day we were racing across the desert areas of Arizona and Southern California. Mile after mile of treeless mountains, grassless plains, sun-baked arroyos. Here and there a giant cactus. At first it was fascinating; watching these mountains that changed colors at every turn of the train; following the little whirling pillars of sand that sped like wraiths into the distance; thinking of how we were entering upon a new ex- perience, crossing the Rev. Bowling desert. Then the glamor began to wear off. The heat became move and more oppressive as the unhindered rays of the sun and the hot winds kept beating mercilessly and the omnipresent dust kept sifting in despite the fast closed doors and double windows. Almost universal quiet now obtained among all the passengers. No one seemed to have the energy requisite for the gay songs and hilarious laughter that had made the trip thus far an extended holiday. First in this car and then in that someone was on the verge of prostration. Many were quietly couldiding that they never wanted to pass through a desert again. But, my! what resources we had at our command. Anticipating our needs in such an hour the "Sunset Limited" had been stocked with the most varied offerings of good things to eat, there was a sufficiency of clear, cool water, ample supplies of ice, and an assortment of emergency medicines. Besides, there were descriptive pamphlets and magazines and papers a plenty with which to while away the hours. Above all, there was the kindly fellowship of one's fellow travelers. After this, let no one tell me that life's arid regions need drive one to despair. Like trains in the desert, one's life may likewise be sufficient in itself. The monotonous hours of a sick room need not remain monotonous. Have we cultivated a taste for the finer things in literature and art? Do we know what it is to lose oneself in sustained study or in quiet contemplation of a beautiful picture, until the hours flit by like seconds? The years of preparation spent in high school, in college, in professional school need not be day and uninspiring because of the lack of monetary rewards or the chance to put one's knowledge to practical use. Have we never had day dreams? Have we never had times when in body we spent whole afternoons tramping the woods or hiking over the hills, but in spirit building castles overseas? The hours or months or years one may sometimes be forced to spend in the company of the untutored and uncultured need not be periods of irksomeness and tedious. The traveler, the country school teacher, the rural pastor, the small town doctor, the non-press-agented social worker, the overseas missionary, any one of these can be as happy as the most widely heralded workers in more favored fields. If, only, one has cultivated the power of readiness for fellowship with people of any group, has aimed at the ideal of solving the needy as well as of enjoying cultural contacts. From Norfolk Leather-Dispatch Completion of the $7,000,000 endowment fund for Hampton Institute, Virginia, and Tuskegee Institute, Ala., will place these—the two leading schools for the practical and theoretical education of Negroes in the country—on a more sound financial basis and provide for needed expansion of their activities, which are directed along the soundest sort of lines with a view to placing the younger members of the race in a position of leadership and self-respect. * Schools like Tuskegee and Hampton have done much to eliminate the race problem in the South, and there is really now no issue of this character except where it is raised by some radical element in one form or another. Hampton and Tuskegee are two of the most important links in the chain of Negro educational institutions that has been evolved in the South during the past few decades. In addition to their work along cultural lines, they serve a special purpose in the field of industrial training to which no other institutions have addressed themselves with such conspicuous success. Their usefulness will be enhanced by the establishment of endowments to give them an assured and independent income. One of the notable developments in connection with the endowments is the fact that alumni of the two institutions contributed more than $200,000 of the amounts raised by miscellaneous subscription. Such a showing reflects a high degree of loyalty among the alumni and also a high appreciation of the benefits that attendance on such institutions confers. From the Roanoke Times.

THOMAS FORTUNE quotation from a statement by Judge Gary, the famous steel magnate, in which he pays a not wholly original but nevertheless deserved tribute to education. Elsewhere in the course of the same statement Judge Gary said: "The strength, character, reputation, and influence of a nation depend upon the education of the citizens. Education goes hand in hand, in support, and as a part of religion and piety. "Ignorance breeds crime, cruelty, dishonesty, disease, and poverty. It results in suffering, decay, destruction, and obliteration. "Everything that is done or said in favor of better and still better education is a step toward God and country and humanity. In self-defense, for the protection of life and health and happiness, the people must be educated." That is a though that is well worth while taking with us into the new week and the New Year on which we are entering. In the great plants of the industry of which he is the head there is a great deal of ignorance and Judge Gary and his fellow executives have had abundant opportunity to note its destructive and demoralizing consequences—"time, cruelty, dishonesty, disease, and poverty," is the way he enumerates some of them. Not the least of the blessings of this land of ours are the educational opportunities it offers to its ambitious sons and daughters. The readers of the JOURNAL AND GUIDE may have been some-what surprised at the disclosure in the Washington correspondence of January 2, headed, "Color Issue Looms Up on Haitian Post," printed on the last column of the first page, that the Hai- Mr. Fortune tian government was not disposed to accept "a colored man" as Minister Resident and Consul-General, although, as we remember, the mission had been raised to a higher grade just before the advent of the American Occupation during the administration of President Wilson, when the Haitian government was forcibly seized, to all intents and purposes, by the American marines and has since been ruled by a commissioner, with dictatorial powers, ostensibly with the consent of a Haitian government set up by the American Commissioner, without who so advice and consent the Haitian government can do nothing, and with whose servile consent many outrages have been perpetrated upon the life and property of Haitians in the high and low station, and against which they have lodged repeated protests with our government, which has always dismissed them with scant courtesy. We have had seven Ministers to Haiti since President Guant appointed E. D. Bassett of Pennsylvania, in 1868, we thikn, among them Frederick Douglass, John M. Langston and John S. Durham. One of them was a white man, Henry M. Smythe of Virginia, who was appointed by President Cleveland. The writer has known all of our Ministers to Haiti and has been on intimate terms with three of them, and he learned long ago from them that the Haitian government did not care to have "Colored Ministers" accredited to it, because they have not a high opinion of the American Negro and thought that they should not have had "colored men" sent to them as Ministers who would not be acceptable to white governments. And all of the Haitian Ministers to the United States have been very white men, as in the case of Mr. Preston, long the dean of the diplomatic corps at Washington, or high browns, as in the case of Mr. Hannibal Price, and none of the Haitian Ministers at Washington, or Consuls-General at New York, cultivated the friendship of distinguished Afro-Americans, socially or otherwise, and this included such men as Mr. Douglass, Mr. Langston, Sen. B. K. Bruce Prof. Richard Theodore Greener, and others, of the highest character and social and political standing. The Haitian Ministers and Consuls-General just ignored their existence, having no touch whatever with Afro-Americans in Washington or New York City. They had also the feeling that such contacts would affect injuriously their standing as representatives because of the social standing and prejudice against Afro-Americans. It is noticeable, however, that since the American Occupation and iron rule, the Haitians affected, some of them of high standing, have made con st a n appeals through the Afro-American newspapers for their sym- Saturday, January 16, 1926 Residential Segregation by Practice and by Law By KELLY MILLER Last Friday I sat in the Supreme Court of the United State to listen to the arguments on the Curtis Case involving the principle of residential segregation. Ten years ago I sat in the same court to hear the same question presented under another form. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, then as now on the alert for the civil rights of the race, had taken over the cases presented by the cities of Louisville and Balti- more, both of which cities had passed ordinations laying down certain residential restrictions on the basis of race. The local and state courts had uphold the validity of these ordinances. Appeal had been Dr. Miller pear had been made to the Supreme Court of the United States for final judicial determination of the issue. Learned arguments had been presented on both sides. The pathy and support in the their efforts to get some sort of consideration and justice from our government. West Indians are also accused of having a low estimate of the Afro-American people, and many of them have not disguised it, while it is notorious that native Africans have the like feeling of disrespect and contempt, when they are visitors here as well as in Africa, the feeling among the Africans being caused, it is said, because the American Negro was once a slave, although they overlook the fact that they, the native Africans, were the worst slave traders of them all, Dr. Robert R. Moton's grandfather being one of them and responsible for Dr. Moton's presence in the country, as he was kidnapped and shanghied by the traders after he had come down to the coast and sold the traders a lot of victims they had captured in battle. We are not surprised, therefore, that the Haitian government has signified that it does not desire "a colored person" accredited to it as the American Minister, nor are we feeling aggrieved, simply because the American Negro is making the high calling in the world's thought and effort that no other group of the race is making anywhere else in the world, "paddling his own canoe," as it were, and helping the Negro in the West Indies and Africa all that he can while hewing to the line for himself. Close Upthe Gaps Brethren From Newport News Star. None of the folks down in this bullwijk care a rap how many stores in Richmond put up the signs which point to the fact that their trade is not wanted, because years ago we knew of efforts of the True Reformers and others who tired to convince the Negroes of that city that they ought to buy their goods from Negro dealers, and then carried out their convictions by putting in operation such stores to cater to their wants. But, my sakes, we forget that these same people are the ones who have not the courage to have the white superintendents displaced from the principalships of Negro schools, who brag about their wealth and their ability to build up institutions, but who, when the white folks smite them on one cheek, will present the other for like insult! Why, bless your soul, while the whole country was singing the praises of the wonderful success staged in Richmond by the Elks, the Richmond people themselves have broken up into factions and have begun to call each other ugly names and accuse each other of unbecoming things. The white people are confident that you cannot stand together in any great cause; hence, they take advantage of your division to insult and spit upon you. What a pity 'tis true! People of 'San Salvadore are taking a horn rim spectacle from America. One family in England boasts of six daughters who are 'steeped in ink.' Two of them are Miss Joan Kennedy and Mrs. Stanley Wrench, both of whom are successful novelists, and a third is Mrs. Lambur, who edits several women's periodicals. The three others also are writers. Dr. Miller, turning his attention to the Irine Hund Corrigan and Helen Curtie versus John J. Buckley (the Washington segregation) case now before the United States Supreme Court, declares: "Which ever way this decision may go, it will not determine the issue, nor very seriously interfere with its operation. The more basic decision of ten years ago (Louisville case) has had no appreciable effect upon the volume of segregation. The process has been tremendously increased during the past ten years in all of the cities of the country. But these decisions make the process flexible, rather than rigid. It is legal fixity that the Negro mainly dreads." Supreme Court held the matter under consideration for fully a year, and finally requested reargument of the question by both parties in litigation. This was a momentous occasion. The mind of the nation was motivated by war psychology. The allies were sending delegations to this country urging the United States to save democracy from destruction. I vividly recall that Viviani, the ex-promier of France, headed the French delegation, which came over to make the last desperate appeal. Viviani sat as guest of the Chief Justice on the bench of the Supreme Court, while this segregation case was under argument. The deep cry unto the deep. The democracy of Europe appealed unto the democracy of America. The presence of the French representatives in the Supreme Court at this superlative moment possessed a poetic fitness. Must Viviani take back to France the verdict that American democracy restricts the rights of its citizens on the ground of race and color? Or must he report that the spirit of democracy in the West is true to the idea instilled by the French a century and a half ago, that all men are equal before the law? The verdict was unanimous. The members of the court from South and North alike. Democrats and Republicans, concurred in the unanimous decree. It was determined, once for all time that it is unconstitutional for any municipality as creature of the state to pass any ordinance or law restricting the right to buy and occupy property on the basis of race. How far this decision may have been influenced by war psychology must remain a matter of speculation. Such subtle influences, however, may unconscious invade even the sacred precepts of the courts of justice. The present case missed the dramatic setting and spectacular background. Only eight of the nine justices were in sitting. The case for the Negroes was ably presented by Mr. Louis Marshall, who is conceded to be one of the greatest constitutional lawyers in the United States, and Mr. Moorfield Storey, president of the N. A. A. C. P., one of the leading legal lights before the New England Bar. Mr. Storey is over eighty years of age but his mind is as clear and his heart as true as in the earlier years of his manhood when he served as private secretary for Charles Sunner. The opposition was ably presented by Easby Smith, who is a party in interest in the particular block involved in the litigation. The present case is but a subterfuge to evade the general principle laid down in the previous decision. It lacks the broad basis and comprehensiveness of the former issue. The question at issue is to determine whether local covenants entered into by a number of individuals binding themselves not to sell or rent property to colored people is merely a gentleman's agreement, as it has hitherto been understood, or whether it has the force and sanction of a binding legal obligation from which no party to it can withdraw without legal liability. Such covenants have been in operation from time immemorial, and have been effective in preserving the racial integrity of residential districts so long as all the signatory parties were willing to observe the agreement without legal compulsion. Similar cases have arisen in fifteen to twenty different cities. Cases have been appealed from local to state courts in six instances. In all of which, it appeared, that the states had upheld the legality of such covenants. It so happened that the state of Michigan, it seemed had decided the case both ways. But on closer analysis it was disclosed that the two decisions possessed essentially different features. The opposition practically conceded that it was against public policy to tie up property by restrictions for an indefinite period, but that it might legally be done for a period of years. Although six states have decided the case in one form or the other, this is the first instance in which this class of cases has been appealed to the Supreme Court for final decision. There were only two points contended by both sides,—is the decision of the lower court constitutional, and is it in harmony with public policy. The question of constitutionality was a bly argued on both sides. The justices evinced keen interest by the flood of cross questions, almost amounting at times to beckling. On the issue of public policy the issue was clearly drawn. Our counsel contended that the public policy is set forth in the Declaration of Independence, and not in the narrow provincial dogmation of the Ku Klux Klan. Mr. Smith maintained that public policy of the race question is indicated by all but nationwide policy of social separation. The two lower courts have agreed with Mr. Smith as to public policy as in prevails in the District of Columbia. It remains to be seen how the Supreme Court will decide this momentous issue. This August tribunal has before it an awful precedent which ought to serve as a warning for all time. Justice Taney rendered the decision in the Dred Scott Case on what the court then interpreted to be the historic and prevalent public policy, to the effect that the Negro did not possess the status of a man and a citizen. But righteous public sentiment asserted itself in the vigor of indignation and utterly repudiated his dicta, which has made the name of an otherwise righteous and upright judge a sigma and a reproach. There is no name in American history which is so generally associated with obliquity except that of Benedict Arnold. Such is the risk in attempting to interpret public policy to suit the requirements of a temporary propaganda. The case is now on the knees of the gods. The layman who listened to the arguments and observed the reactions of the judges has little or no cue at the outcome. The lawyers are equally puzzled. Among them there are three types of opinion. Some feel sure that the judgment of the lower court will be reversed; others look for a flat denial of our claim; while still others predict that the case will be thrown out of court for lack of jurisdiction. We can only stand and wait. If the decision is favorea, it will by no means stem the tide of segregation. It this device is judicially estopped, other devices of like subtlety will be forth coming. The issue will merely assume another form. If on the other hand the decision goes against us, we may fall back upon the more basic decision that segregation can only be effected by limited local agreement, and not by city ordinances or legislative enactments. It is much easier to break by and overcome mere individual covenants than to override the ordinances of a city or the enactments of a state. Which ever way this decision may go, it will not determine the issue, nor very seriously interfere with its operation. The more basic decision of ten years ago has had no appreciable effect upon the volume of segregation. The process has been tremendously increased during the past ten years in all of the cities of the country. But these decisions make the process flexible, rather than rigid. It is legal fixity that the Negro mainly dreads. I have had personal experience in Baltimore and Washington to thirty years ago, the bulk of the Negroes in both cities lived in South Baltimore and in South Washington. In the growth and expansion of these two cities, the Southern portions were left behind in the race. They became most undesirable as places of residence. In the earlier years practically every Negro who sought better home facilities had to fight the prejudice and opposition of the white neighborhood into which he sought to move. Had we then had laws restricting racial residence, these paupers would still be penned up in these forbidding and untoward sections of these two cities. The tale of two cities can be multiplied by fifty. We must fight iniquity and inequity with instrumentality of the law, for this is the only weapon which we can command.
