Organized labor struck another the jazz band with the Walker's "Go Get Em" out of the theater last summer in compliance with a call which has been issued and the Howard Theater. "Understanding the loss of its which was the big feature the show, Drake and Walker's Get Em" company played the Howard for the remainder of the week. It drew capacity forces. Parley Results Futility partly between A. C. Hayden, presenting the American Federation of Musicians, and A. E. Manhoe, who is running the theater, at matinee Tuesday, failed. Mr. Hayden immediately advised Henry to head the of the Drake and shower, that the Howard theater was unfair to organized and that the union musicians in his show could not play in house. Lichtman ordered orchestra into the pit Drake and Walker went on the show. Mr. Hayden demanded that Mr. Manhoe sign an agreement to a union stage crew, moving machine operator and organist. Lichtman refused, according to representatives of International Alliance of International Stage Employees and Picture Machine Operator and the American Federation Musicians, the Howard Theater was unfair to organized labor because of its employment of union stage crew, moving machine operator and organist. terrible Labor Troubles were labor troubles at the Theater a year ago when crew struck for pay for proving some scenery.

It also musicians because of the agreement between the organizations. Fraternal insurance organizations to which the new law applies are more familiarly known as lodges or secret societies offering sick, accident, and death benefits. These organizations or societies generally operate with a grand lodge and subordinate lodges, have regular meetings' and collect dues at these meetings or otherwise through a secretary or other officer of the lodge. Industrial insurance companies, which are not affected by the new law, are stock companies issuing sick, accident and death benefit policies, upon which the premiums are collected weekly or monthly by an agent at the home of the policyholder or at the local office of the company. Industrial insurance has no lodges and no regular meetings of the policyholders with the officers. COMMISSIONER. BUTTON'S STATEMENT Col. Joseph Button, commissioner of insurance for Virginia has sent the Journal and Guide a copy of the new act and makes the following statement with regard to same: "This is a new section added to Chapter 171, which refers entirely to fraternal beneficiary associations, orders or societies. "This new section has no reference whatsoever to industrial sick benefit companies or any stock company and it applies only to fraternal beneficiary associations organized under the law as such and having a lodge system, a representative form of government and a ritualistic form of work." A Society known as the Modern Workmen of the World, Inc., of Alexandria, and operating, it is said, in several southern states, including Virginia, was one of such fraternal insurance company with white officers and colored members that came under the ban of the new law. It was the officers of this society who brought a test case against the act in the Federal Court, receiving an adverse ruling from Judge D. Lawrence Groner.

REED EDWARD WRIGHT DEFIES SENATOR JAMES A. REED (Special Correspondence) Chicago, August 5—The senate committee investigating expenditures in the Illinois primary delivered into Chicago ward politics today, was defied by Edward H. Wright, ward boss, who declared that his word was law among the colored people and ended its session by placing the latest slush figure at $971,596. Edward H. Wright, Negro member of the Illinois commerce commission, which regulates public utilities, caused the first disturbance of the inquiry by refusing to tell Chairman James A. Reed how much he collected and spent in the Second word to nominate Colonel Frank L. Smith, the Republican senatorial candidate and the Crowe-Barrett county ticket. Reed Is Rilled Reed was obviously riled by Wright, who lobbed back in the witness chair, and tapped on the table top with a large diamond ring on the middle finger of his left hand. "Well, we'll see later whether you will answer or not," Reed said after Wright had declined to tell the committee anything about the finances of his ward. "Meantime, please try to refresh your memory on these other matters." Reed had questioned Wright about the work of the commerce commission and whether it had ever given any rate or fare increases to Samuel Insull's public utility companies. Wright could not remember and Reed said: "I rather thought some of these facts might have stuck in your head." Smith Received $125,000 Colonel Smith, who is chairman of the commerce commission, received more than $125,000 from Insull for his senatorial campaign, but in questioning Wright, Chairman Reed failed to connect this contribution with any decisions of the state commission favoring Insull. Wright got a big laugh from the spectators' when he described his work as a ward boss. "Did you have meetings at which you asked the people to vote a certain way?" Reed asked. "Didn't ask them; I told them," Wright said. "They do what I say in the Second ward." NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 7, 1926 KILLS WIFE, MOTHER OF A NINE MONTHS OLD BABY; CALLS POLICE Cranford, Pictured As A Persecuted Gentleman Found Not Guilty by Jury (Special Correspondence) Albemarle, N. C.—Like a master artist deftly wielding his brush with all of his innate genius, P. L. Smith of the local bar, defense counsel in the case of the State against Nevin C. Cranford, boss of a Stankey county convict camp, charged with the brutal murder of James Terry and James Howell, Negro prisoners, in the summer of 1918, painted the defendant as a persecuted Christian gentleman, a man of integrity whose footsteps always trod in the paths of rectitude and whose mantle of gentlemanly conduct was immaculately clean, in his plea for an acquittal of his client. And the jury just forty-five minutes after getting the case returned on the case a verdict of not guilty as had been freely predicted by many. As the long drawn out trial drew near its finals, there were differences of opinions as to the outcome. Some predicted manslaughter and other kindred verdicts, that a host of others held that the accused would be freed. Smith, of Albemarle; McLendon, of Wadesboro; Covington and Caudel, of Wadesboro were the attorneys who addressed the jury in the case, with Caudel the only one for the State. When the hearing of testimony had been concluded, Covington opened the argument for the defenses, followed by Caule for the State. Following a recess, Messrs. Browne and Covington defense, consuming the entire seven hours allowed by special agreement. Cranford Flaved The most outstanding argument of the day was that made by Mr. Caulef for the prosecution, in which he flayed the chaining boss, taking two hours to deliver his able address. Despite numerous interruptions during the course of his address, Caule remained unruffled and unperturbed. He would not let these seeming trivial matters happen with a renewed vigor. His respects were paid to A. F. Biles, chairman of the county highway board for "firing every guard from the gang who dared tell anything about Cranford's cruelty." "Where is old Amos Biles?" Mr. Caucle dreads. "He has not himself on this witness stand since this trial started. He knows how to save his own hide," he continued, declaring that while entire Stanley county was not on trial with the defendant, as some of the counsel for the defense told the jury, "yet old Amos Biles and the other members of the county highway board who have known of Cranford's cruelties and have tried to uphold him in his brutalities, are on trial with him and ought to be." The lawyer mined no words in announcing the alleged Twentieth Century court for his dastardly deed and handish conduct. Caucle's condemnation was boldly and fearlessly expressed, holding no brief for the accused and those who sympathized with him. In every gesture and every word, Mr. Caucle sought incessantly to flank Cranford. He held up two bills of indictment which had been previously found by Stanley county grand juries against Nevin Charles Cranford for arch-brutilities to prisoners under his charge, that have been not prossed. Exhibiting these indictments, he said, "Cranford was simply whitewashed then and he has been white-washed ever since," insinuating that the same scheming machinations were being affected to clothe the wolf in sheep's skin as were done in the other cases. Caudle Attacked Mr. Cauleid's speech was so severe in its condemnation and criticism of the defendant and "those who have stood by him in his cruelty and brutality," during the past years, that in responding to this address, H. H. McLendon stated, "he teaches a Sunday school class but is not fit to do so, would not go to school, teach Sunday school, he means to tell counsel." He also stated that Cauleid had "shown himself to be a friend of the law violators" but Cauleid so strongly prosecuted that the jury's attention was held and the twelve men I mean ostensibly with him when he closed his address. An earnest appeal was made by R. L. Smith, or the local bar who followed Mr. Caudle. He painted Cranford as everything good and discredited every witness that testified against the defendant. He worked diligently for his client and over, anxiously brought out many points. Smith was followed by McLendon, characterized as a powerful and convincing advocate, who stated to the jury that so much evidence having no connection with the killing of James Terry and James Howell, having been presented to them by the state, that he believed they did not know or have the slightest idea of what they were in court for. "They have talked about everything else but the case in point," he said. He took up his full time in covering the evidence, but he apparently failed to impress the jury, which obviously showed signs of fatigue. Three of the jurors appeared to be with him but the other nine showed no signs of interest at all. James H. Pou, leading defense counsel pulled his chair up within three feet of the McLendon during the course of the former's speech, and from time to time made suggestions and nodded his approval when McLendon asked him to corroborate his argument. Phillips Makes Long Speech Phillips Makes Long Speech The argument of Solicitor Phillips was closed at 8:20 p.m., the night preceding the jury's findings and after a brief recess of five minutes, Judge Finley began to deliver his charge to the jury which covered an hour and fifteen minutes, regarded by many as fair to both the state and defendant as any ever heard. The jury took the case and court adjourned until Thursday morning at 9 o'clock. The little court house was packed to its capacity during the address of Solicitor Phillips. He made speech, hour and ten minutes in length. It was a strong, eloquent and fearless address and many were heard to say it was the most effective and forceful speech of the entire trial. Mr. Covington, the Wadsboro attorney did not consume as much time as the others, in his talk, but he spoke with an earnestness, intimating that some of the soft sentimentalists would, if they had their way, make a resort of the prison camps and dress the convicts in fine linens of purple by day and furnish them with silk pajamas to sleep in by night. Lasted Nearly Three Weeks The charges brought against Cranford, the Stanley county chaining boss, grew out of investigations by the State into the deaths of Howell and Terry in the summer of 1918. The grand jury returned true bills as was done on two other occasions, in which Cranford was found not guilty. The trial lasted over a period of nearly three weeks and the little courthouse of Albemarle was crowded each day until the case drew near the close when the crowd dwindled perceptibly, apparently growing tired of the long drawn out affair. During the trial hundreds of witnesses testified for and against the accused. Many hair raising and repugnant stories were told by witnesses for the state. Some of the deeds of Cranford, as told by these witnesses, were only paralleled by the atrocities of the dark and distant ages. They charged that he beat men with clubs and lashes, how he jabbed sticks down the throats of some, how he would knock men down with boards, like men felling an ax, then step on their heads with iron-clad boots. They charged that he hitted men to tractors and had them hauled over newly broken ground where stone and gravel and tree stumps would cut deep gashes in their flesh. It was declared that Cranford, reigned over his camp like a belligerent tyrant, holding prisoners in fear of his monstrous brutalities. The prison boss was relentless in administering lashing and severe beating, nothing being too hard or serious for him to do, it was testi- (Continued on Page 3.) TWELVE PAGES—TWO PARTS INJUNCTION AGAINSTHOME BUYER DENIED District Of Columbia Court Rules Against Plaintiffs Seeking To Force Colored Residents To Vacate. PROPERTY COVENANTS AGAIN IN COURT Washington, D. C., Aug. 3—Chief Justice Walter I. McCoy last Friday denied a motion for a preliminary injunction to compel Edgar T. Newton, Mrs. Sarah P. Newton and Robert H. Peterson to vacate the premises at No. 77 Randolph street, northwest, which they purchased from Edward B. Russell and Mrs. Susie B. Russell in an alleged violation of a restrictive covenant. Court's Ruling Chief Justice McCoy held that mandatory injunctions, ought not to be granted until a final hearing unless the situation indicates an absolute necessity for it in the preservation of the rights of the parties. No such necessity exists in this case, he said. The suit was filed by Frank S. Wallace, 75 Randolph street, N.W.; Francis and Ann F. Cleary, 45 Randolph street; Charles J. and Martha Orem, 47 Randolph street; Mary E. Regan, 55 Randolph street; Agnes Ramsay, 66 Randolph street; and Henry Holby, 63 Randolph street, for the purpose of enforcing a covenant which provided that the property of the persons signing the agreement should not be used or occupied by, or sold, conveyed, leased, or rented, or given to any colored person for a period of 21 years. DEATH OF DR. LANKFORD IS A SHOCK TOCITY DEATH OF DR. LANKFORD IS A SHOCK TOCITY The shock that the city felt Wednesday morning upon learning of the untimely death of Dr. Burnley Lankford, who was drowned while battling in the surf at Virginia Beach Tuesday afternoon spread among the colored citizens with equal force. Dr. Lankford came from a family whose members for a generation have been known to entertain deep sympathies for and interest in the problems of the colored people of this city. His father, Dr. Lavius Lankford, for a number of years practiced his profession here among all classes and races, and his admirable charity won for him hundreds of friends among Negroes. Not since the death of Judge Wilcox, has the passing of a white citizen been so keenly felt by his colored fellow-citizens as in the case of Dr. Lankford; who had gained among all races and classes profound affection. Haitian Building Is Dedicated At Sesqui (By Associated Negro Press) Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 3.—The Haitian exhibit at the Sesqui-Centennial was formally opened July 28, when the Honorable Hannibal Price, envy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary, from Haiti, was the guest of honor.

Franciscus, of the Foreign Participation Department of the Sesqui. At the Navy Yard, Mr. Price was welcomed by Admiral T. P. Magruder, and at the Camp Anthony Wayne by General H. C. Learned, luncheon being served in the Russian pavilion. (Special Correspondence) Court's Ruling ER OF CALLS Joseph Moorman Files Suit For A Divorce Mr. Joseph V. Moorman, well-known young man of this city, has through his counsel Frederic J. Thorood, fitted a suit in the Court of Law and Chancery, asking a divorce from his wife, Clara Lee Moorman on the grounds of desertion. Both Mr. and Mrs. Moorman have been making their home in this city since childhood days. The latter, however, has in months made her home in New York. Moorman gained considerable popularity as a star football player on the Booker T. Washington High School Team, and has since leaving that institution been engaged in the commercial life of the city. He is at present connected with the Richmond Beneficial Insurance Company. His bill states that they have one child who is now with the mother. DOPE RAIDS STILL TALK OF UNDERWORLD Ed Mullen, Hadn't Furnished Bond Up Until Wednesday Afternoon Late; Mrs. Carrie Wood Gains Her Liberty The sweeping narcotic raids conducted here last Friday afternoon resulting in the arrest of 59 persons—including seven druggists, in which 47 federal narcotic agents brought here from ten states and 125 local policemen took part, are still the talk of the underworld. The clean-up was staged under supervision of Dr. B. R. Rhesse and Col. L. G. Nutt, of narcotic headquarters at Washington, who are in the city, but the credit for the effectiveness of the drive goes largely to Policeman J. J. Shannon, who has been working with federal undercover men here since June 1, and Joshua L. Taylor, colored federal undercover man and two other local Negro alleged dope addicts who have aided in the undercover work, as well as Agent Chambers of the local office. The raid caught the dope traffickers completely unaware, so systematically had it been planned. The entire 59 arrests occurred simultaneously, 37 taxicabs being used to convey the officers to the places to be raided and the prisoners to the jail. Ed, Mullen, who is already involved in a narcotic law violation charge, was among those arrested and was held under $20,000 bond, the heaviest required of any of those arrested. Subsequently, his bail was reduced to $7,500, but up until Wednesday afternoon he had not gained his liberty. Mrs. Carrie Wood, wife of "Tex" Wood, now serving four years in Atlanta on a narcotic conviction, was also caught in the net. Her bond was fixed at $10,000. Four men went her security. Since Saturday morning a stream of those arrested has filed into the room of the United States Commissioner in the Post Office Building for hearings. Quietly, but positively, the colored narcotic agent and his two alleged addict assistants have identified the prisoners as men and from whom they have purchased cocaine. The whole local police department has come in for "profuse praise from the federal agents for the co-operation given in staging the raids. Body of Colored S-51 Victim Buried Philadelphia, Pa.—The body of George H. Martin, the only colored victim of the S-51 submarine disaster, which occurred last September when the U boat w a srammed by the "City of Rome" off Block Island, was recovered with the bodies of 18 white victims and brought here for burial last week. ALL NEWS THAT'S WORTH READING PRICE 7 CENTS A NINE POLICE AXE HANDLE USED TO SLAY YOUNG WIFE Witnesses Declare Husband A Spendthrift And Ne'er-Do- Well, While Wife Was Thrifty and Hard-Working CHARGES VICTIM WITH GROSS INFIDELITY Washington, D. C., Aug. 3 —A coroner's jury on Tuesday, ordered Roy Otis Henson, 26, held for the action of the grand jury in connection with the murder of his wife, Elsie Henson, 22, in the janitor's quarters at the Irvington apartment house, 1731 T street, northwest, last Monday. Responding to a telephone call from Henson that someone had killed his wife, police found her lying on the floor in a pool of blood. She had been beaten to death with a pick axe handle, which was found near her body. Henson was arrested and taken to police headquarters where he confessed the crime. Charges Wife With Infidelity He told police that another man had been running with his wife. He asked her about him, he said, and she had refused to tell him anything except that her new friend was going to kill him. Last Sunday afternoon, he stated, he went to her place of employment, 1420 Twenty-first street, northeast, to meet her and she failed to show up. She came home about 9:30 or 10 o'clock Sunday night, he said, and they had an argument. She took a small knife from his pocket, he stated, and slept with it under the argument was renewed the next morning about 7 o'clock when he struck her on the head with a stick which was used for a window prop, he stated. He then left the house and went to his work at Eighteenth and S streets, northwest. He worked until lunch time. He returned home, found her dead and telephoned the police that someone had killed his wife. Tell Different Story Witnesses at the inquest, however, gave a different motive for the crime. They testified that the killing was the result of an argument over funds for the maintenance of two children of the Hensons, who were cared for by Mrs. Bessie Shaw, 2456 Ontario road, northwest. Three weeks ago, Mrs. Shaw stated, the young mother came to her and asked her if she would care for her two children. Both are boys. One is 2 years old and the other is only 9 months old. After the mother had told her that she had to support the children out of her carninigs of $12 a week, Mrs. Shaw said that she agreed to take them for $4 a week each. Failed To Provide Sunday before last, Mrs. Shaw testified, the dead woman told her that she had given her husband money with which to pay the children's board, but he failed to do so. He promised to pay the money last Sunday. He came to her house last Sunday, Mrs. Shaw said, and gave her $0 and told her that his wife would pay her the balance of $7 on Monday night. Mrs. Henson came to her home between 9 and 10 o'clock Sunday night. Mrs. Shaw stated, and asked her how much her husband had paid her. When she was told that he had paid only $2 she paid the balance, Mrs. Shaw said. Mrs. Henson then told her that she was afraid to go home, Mrs. Shaw said, and she begged her to stay all night at her home. Mrs. Henson also told her, Mrs. Shaw testified, that when she got off work Sunday afternoon, she saw her husband waiting for her and went out the back way with a couple of girls to their home and they dressed and went to Suburban Gardens.

Celebrates 25 Anniversary It is interesting to note in an advertisement appearing in this issue of the Journal and Guide, the announcement of the 25th anniversary of the G. L. Hall Optical Co., of Norfolk and Richmond. A quarter century is a long span in the life of a man, as well as a business. As in an oak, such length of life and development denotes the sterling qualities of sturdiness, character, efficiency, and dependability. In every profession, the first thing naturally desired before entrusting one's welfare to a man, is experience. While experience must be backed with thorough knowledge and intensive training in a profession, the fact that that experience exists is an assurance that the necessary knowledge is in evidence, as well as methods consistent with the highest principles of business and professional ethics which have ensured the continued successful life of twenty-five years. World-Wide Changes Within this period there have been numerous changes of worldwide significance. Nations have been revamped and the map of Europe has been made. The necessities of life—luxuries a few years ago—have been born and developed to a high state of efficiency; electricity and gasoline have revised the modes and methods of living; the North Pole has been conquered in a day; the radio is carrying voices thousands of miles. These, and many other of the events incidents that are viewed with slight concern, have been developed within the period of a quarter of a century. In the particular profession and business so ably represented by the G. L. Hall Optical Co. the changes have been as radical and definitely marked, as in other lines of endeavor. Science has contributed of its best in the advancement of vision-conservation. Precision instruments now permit the skilled operator to view the interior field of the eye, measure with mathematical accuracy the refractive error and prescribe corrective lenses—detect such physical ailments as are therein reflected, referring such for medical treatment to the family or other physician—and enables the Scientific refractionist to render a protective and efficient service impossible a few years ago. New forms of lenses, scientifically perfect, have been developed which extend the field of vision to double its former capacity. For those who need corrective lenses for both far and near sight, solid biofocus or double lenses have been invented which are remarkable for their appearance and effectiveness, superceding the antiquated Franklin and other forms of visible, disfurring biofocus. The X-Ray Has Come The X-Ray has seen its development within this period—that wonderful servant of the physician and surgeon which pictures a broken bone or foreign substance within the human body—contributing to the saving of thousands of lives who would otherwise have been sacrificed for the lack of such definite information.

L. Hall Optical Co., is to be congratulated upon its quarter century efficient existence—upon the service it has rendered to the tens of thousands of patrons and well-wishers in an effective manner—upon the high plane of development that has so consistently applied to bring its business and profession—and we wish to the continued success and happiness so richly merited thru its conscientious endeavor.

Naomi Jamming the many interesting letters that appear in your column, the one signed "Sad and Lonely," appeals to me most. As she would say, "I am not going to tell her that I am flapper too, and I am very anxious to meet such a wonderful character as she, too, I am just as lonely as you, and I am an old man of 26 years, and brown skin, five feet four inches in height, weight, 135 pounds. I go to the movies some time when I have some one who appreciates the Sunday school and work day and don't take up much time with girls because they are too fast for me and seem to be gold-diggers.

Why are you just right age and I am sure that as soon as "Sad and Lonely" sees your letter she will write to me and we can arrange a greeting.

THIS TRIANGLE OUGHT TO SQUARE Naomi. I am a girl of thirty and have been married. My husband and I separated on account of a boy and he and I are going together. My sister lives like me, but I think if fair for me to quarrel with him or her? He has a store and every time my sister goes there, I think he is with him. Do you think it right for me to accuse him of her even though he never takes her out? Cora. Dear Cora: The very best thing for you to do is to be your husband, if he will take you back. There could never be any real happiness for any of you with conditions as they are now. Even if you were free to marry this boy, you would always be careful not to have two couples happy instead of three individuals miserable? Naomi. IEALOUSY CAUSING TROUBLE Bear Nooni: Mme.

PORO SYSTEM 420 Cumberland St., Ph. 34374 LAWRENCEVILLE, VIRGINIA A young man has been going with me for two years who seems to like me very much. Do you think it right for him to have two girl friends? He tells me that he loves one no one but me, still he dances with the other girl when I am present. Should I tell him not to dance with any girls when I am there? I am very jealous but I hope to cure myself of it. Sallie C. Dear Sallie C. Don't you know that the surst way to treat other girls is to pay attention to other girls, is to let him know that you don't like it? The way to cure it is that for you to get another beau and some times when he wants you to himself, you just be busy engaged with the other girls, you don't want to ask him not to dance with others. A good dose of indifference will be ever so much better than jealousy. Do try real hard to cure yourself of the habit HOME & KITCHEN SUGGESTIONS Edited by MARIAN-J. APT, Calumet Baking. Fowd Co. TABLE MANNERS Looking about us as we eat in various types of dining rooms, hotels, tea rooms, Pullmans, private homes, or banquet tables, we expect to have perfect manners. We may expect to have perfect manners. It is true, one is quick to judge a person by their habits, and nowadays we may find chil- dren down-ups in many of their table manners. Three things which most jar, on us are the spreading of the knife and folk from the wrong holding of fork when cutting meat, or when carrying the food to the mouth—and the balancing of the knife when holding it to the table while laying it on the side of the plate. Why, or why? do not people learn these simple rules of etiquette? Are they not aware that we are more quickly judged by our manners than practicing anything else? KITCHEN SUGGESTIONS For House Plants: If you are going away for a week and wish your plants to be well watered, take a strip of soft white cloth one inch wide by two feet long and tie it over the plant. Place a water and bury the other end in the dirt around the plant. To Improve the Flavor of Soup: Add an apple to vegetable soup and the flavor will improve. When Cooking Pie-Grust: To prevent pie-crust from breaking or sticking to the board, roll it on a sheet of waxed paper. When ready to place in the pie-pie crust, roll it up and turn crust over once so that the paper will be between the folded dough. Place on half of the tin, grasp the paper and crust and fold over the other half on the tin. When the crust is in place, the pastry will be on top and can easily removed. To Whip Cream: A few drops of glycerine added to cream will help it to whip. The department of Home Economics, Cramer College, Powder Co. stands ready at times to assist housewives, students, teachers and all others interested in Domestic Science in their daily problems. Instruction in all departments is free, and is given by an experienced faculty from some of the country's best colleges and universities.

Cranford Pictured As A Persecuted Gentleman (Continued from Page One) Wife With Him During the course of the entire trial, Nevin C. Cranford's wife was with him daily. The accused man maintained a stoical front practically throughout the trial, only showing emotions now and then, when State's witnesses unrelentlessly told of his horrifying and shocking deeds. He showed signs of weakening again, when the teeth and hair of a victim was exhibited. After forty-five minutes of deliberation and returning a verdict of not guilty, Cranford's wife fell into his arms when the foreman of the jury announced the findings. After being acquitted, Cranford and his wife shook the hands of the defense lawyers and the hand of each juryman. NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE A COLORED MAN HELPED ON FIRST LEDGER-DISPATCH Hezekiah Anderson, Now 77 Years Old, Was The First Pressman For Norfolk Daily Paper, 50 Years Ago. Tuesday of this week, August 3, the Norfolk Ledger-Dispatch was fifty years old. On that day the paper, with pardonable pride, recited briefly and modestly a bit of its own history. The story of the Ledger's birth and of its growth, which has ever kept space with the growth of the city—Nortfolk boasting a population of 20,000 souls when the paper first saw the light of day and now being peopled by one hundred and seventy-four thousands—formed one of the choicest bits of news in retrospect that was found in the columns of that always newsy publication on its golden anniversary. The recital of how the Public Ledger, as the Ledger Dispatch w a s christened, came off an old hand press on the second floor of a building on Main street, on the site where now stands the imposing National Bank of Commerce in an initial edition of 500 four-page copies, and the recounting of its great strides of progress from then until now when it issues more than 40,000 of from 18 to 40 pages daily was absorbed by its vast army of readers with avidity. Seen Maryellous Growth Norfolk has experienced marvellous growth in fifty years. The Norfolk Ledger-Dispatch throughout the time has been a significant contributing factor to that growth and has itself grown with each intervening era. The Ledger-Dispatch is now an institution here. It would be extremely difficult to contemplate Norfolk without the paper, but there were few people who knew before the story was told in the Ledger's columns on its golden anniversary that a colored man, Hezekiah Anderson, still living and 77 years old, served as nurse at the aborning of the Ledger-Dispatch. First Pressman Mr. Anderson was the paper's first pressman. It was he who put the forms to press and turned the crank of the old-time hand contrivance that brought forth the swaddling infant of journalism. The paper was conceived in the brains of Col. Richard Lewellyn, Joseph G. Fiveash and Walter A. Edwards, and it was they who breathed into it the breath of life, but it was not actually born until it rolled from the press propelled by the hand of Hezekiah Anderson, then a young man of 27. He M. H. HEZEKIAH ANDERSON was the pressman—there can be no newspaper without a pressman—who turned out the paper. A Journal and Guide reporter found "Uncle" Hezekiah, as some affectionately call him, sitting amid the cozy comforts of his home at 421 Powell street, Wednesday night. After an exchange of greetings, the reporter said, "Mr. Anderson." I learn that you helped to print the first edition of the Ledger fifty years ago." The old gentleman's face beamed. Piled on a table near where he sat in his easy chair was a number of copies of the Ledger containing the write-up of the paper's fiftieth anniversary. Mr. Anderson is modest. He would volunteer no more information than was solicited. "Yes," he said, "I was there when the first paper was printed." It was on August 3, 1876, he said, when he turned the 'old crank' and the paper began to print. He was the only colored man in the pressroom as a regular employee, he stated, but two other colored men were picked up as extras when needed to assist in turning the crank. Hezekiah served the Ledger for 29 years after that eventful day, giving away, as he states it, "when those linotypes and other new things came in that I didn't know anything about." Now Janitor He is now janitor of an apartment house on Boush street and is probably the only man living who saw printed the first edition of what is now one of the country's most prominent newspapers. He has never missed a day reading the paper whose birth he had much to do with, he said, in the fifty years except when he was sick or out of the city. Hezekiah is a good reader, too, in spite of his age. He is quite an intelligent 'old gent' and is deacon of the First Baptist Church, having served in this capacity for 41 years. He is the father of two children, Eugene Anderson, employed at Jacob's Pawn Shop on Church street, and Mrs. Helen Ramos. Turning from printing presses and newspapers, the reporter asked: "What about the younger generation, Mr. Anderson?" "Living too fast, trifling away too much time," was his quick reply. Axe Handle Used To Slay Young Wife (Continued from Page One) The dead woman was last seen alive by Mrs. Estelle Moore, who lived in the apartment above the janitor's quarters. Mrs. Moore said that she had heard the couple arguing Sunday night. "I don't get but $12 a week and I gave you the money to pay that lady and you have taken it and thrown it away." Mrs. Moore declared she heard Mrs. Henson say. This argument continued until about 3 o'clock in the morning.

"The Tunney crowd has attacked the dignity, not alone of Chairman Tarley, but the entire athletic commission," and Governor Smith, whom it represents, by Muldon and Brower permit this to go on unpunished, they will present the gorgeous spectacle of the legal heads of boxing invested with the dignity of the state of New York thanking a common pug for administering a good swift kick in the official trousers and asking for more from him and others of his ik." The following article, ostensibly penned by Mr. Gene Tunney, aftrenting the chairman of the Athletic Commission for his stand anent the Dempsey-Tunney-Wills triangle: By GENE TUNNEY "Saratoga Springs, July 26.—James A. Farley, of the New York state athletic commission, whose sportsmanslike manner of self-election to the chairmanship of that body is still being decried by all New York sportsmen, yesterday took the trouble to arrange a statement for the press, in which he vainly tries to explain his stand in voting against the proposed bout between Jack Dempsey and myself taking place in New York City. "He talks about the challenge of Harry Wills being on file with the commission for a long time and that that is the only challenge he will recognize. His endeavor to excuse his incompetence is as ridiculous as his famous speech on patriotism; delivered recently at a commission meeting in the presence of newspaper seribes. Harsh Words, Gene "The chairman carefully avoids mentioning that the challenge of Tommy Gibbons was posted and accepted by the commission at the THE EASTERN LEA COMMISSIONERS RUMORS OF I Philadelphia—With the air filled with rumors that internal strife would cause the overthrow of the Eastern Colored League, the commissioners of that body met at the Christian Street Y. M. C. A., and spikes the report that they would quit. There were six of the seven remaining clubs represented and Alex Pompey, in the absence of Nat Stratong caught the box, Brooke Royalts, and the other commissioners present were Chairman E. Bolden, Jim Seeman, Charlie Spedden, Hammond Daniels and Cononel Strothts. The all important status of the organization was the order of the day for the first business and acknowledging and accepting the constructive and some of the caustic criticism that has been forth coming from various sources, the commissioners, to a man went on record that the benefit derived from business relation alone in organization, warranted a continuation of the effort and deplored the intimation that they would return to former methods of independent ball. The Week In The BY A. D. WILLIAMS Chicago, Ill., Aug. 6. It's a neck and neck race in the Negro National League in the second half. That much is already assured. The American Giants and the Kansas City Monarchs are the only clubs only losing only the game so far during the second half. However, the Giants are at this time in the lead, due to the fact that they played a larger number of games than the Monarchs who played out through Kansas during the last week while the moguls were lining up, the schedule for the last lap of the race. St. Louis is close on the heels of the leaders with only a pair of defeats against it and they should be rather troublesome to the Detroit Stars this week. If one of the leaders should happen to slip by, the Stars are in a position to threaten their supremacy. Indianapolis, while they dropped four games to the Monarchs, have been going along at pretty fair tip on the road, winning seven of their fifteen games played on the road, finishing up in Chicago this week. Chicago will follow the A's home for a series next week and if they are able to take the measure of the A's both in Chicago and in Indianapolis they will stop the Monarchs at a time or two. They might be that. They have always been away, with at least one win from the Kaws in each series this season. Trades. Changes Seen Several of the league clubs are same time Wills was notified to put his challenge. And he probably does not want to retali e it that Gibbons tried in vain to get Wills to accept a match with him. "If it can be taken for granted that, by the action of the commission in accepting both challenges, it placed on challengers on an equal footing in so far as the logic of their contendership went, what place would the conqueror of either of them find himself in? It naturally follows that he should find himself at least on an equal-footing with the remaining contender. "That is, unless the remaining contender happens to be a gladiator of color, ebony. In defeating Tommy Gibbons, my natural ring inheritance should have been equal recognition in this contendership business. "Just to prove my superiority over the celebrated and patriotic chairman's pampered panther, I endeavored in every manner possible to coax him into a ring. "For positive evidence of what I claim, one can see the contract signed by Billy Gibson and myself at Rickard's office. Or, step into the Polo Grounds A. C. office and question Jimmy Dear Forst. "Proving that there is no logic to Wills' contendency m 2 a n s nothing, as there are other angles to be considered. Politics must be served. The colored vote of Halem must be saved. Also the alibing chairman's colored constituency at the Haverstraw brickyards, from whom he devises his political power, must be considered. Called Figurehead "So big James is told by his political god-father just what course he is to take. The chairman being only a figurehead and puppet, whom, as far as my knowledge goes, never saw a boxing match before his appointment to the membership of the commission, and therefore unable to comprehend, obediently obeys orders. And in the meantime, goes about seriously making what appears to others ludicrous and facetious statements and sneezes." Six-Club League For Next Season Realizing that it is too late to work any radical changes the current season, the commissioners are already building prospective plans for the next season. No matter the league, they have to eight clubs have they finished a season without one they dropped out of the race. The early demise of the Newark team this season has just about "cured" the staple teams from looking for another member. While a rule has been adopted that a club must play at least 50 games to be eligible to compete in the World Series or figure "in the money," it is quite plausible that some adjustment will be made in the event that a club finishes with some where no player of allotted games played. Taking into consideration that not since organized ball has been tried by colored clubs, have they been able play a strictly game for game schedule, the commissioners feel that barring the showing of the Brooklyn team they are entitled a little clementy. negotiating trades which they hope will give them a stronger club, and it is foreseen that change or two in the personnel as well as the management of one or two clubs will take place in a short time. In the meantime the contenders are busy seeking new material from other sections. Even the Cubans have their eyes glued onto one or two hustling players to bolster up their club for the second half. Detroit showed that they were in a slump or either indifferent when they succumbed to the Giants last week in five games. True, they were good games, but the Stars should have at least made them even closer. They missed several good chances to win. Judging from indication after the third game was lost, the Stars will shortly be in the midst of a shake-up. Windsor Sox Wins Seventh Straight Windsor, N. C.—Windsor Red Sox won their seventh straight by annexing two tilts from the Williamston nine at 5-4 and 15-5.

It gives the Giants the jump of one game in the series of three between these two clubs for the championship of the city. Besides hurling fine ball Whites got sweet revenge from the Y. He was not rated good enough for that team and were asked for a try out on the Giants was given a chance and the opportunity of hurling the opening game of the series. He came through with flying colors. He allowed but five bitten hits and after the first frame was absolute master of the situation. He found himself on one or two occasions in a bad hole but brilliant support by the Giant infield and outfield pulled him through. His battery mate deserves high praise for his work. Hall caught the best game of his career and his work behind the bat went a long way toward bringing victory to the Giants. Robinson at short for the Y had only four chances but three of them were of the scintillating order. His work was one of the outstanding features. Y. M. C. A. AB R H PO A E S.

NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE Wills Offered $300,000 To Lay Down To Champ TITLE HOLDER WILL NOT FIGHT HIS CONTENDERS TITLE HOLDER WILL NOT FIGHT HIS CONTENDERS BY BENNIE BUTLER (In Interstate Tailer) Despite all the bally-hoo and Tex Rickard's efforts, there will be no Dempsey-Tunney fight for the world's heavyweight championship this year. In fact, there will be no fight with Jack Dempsey, the present incumbent of the heavyweight crown; involved. Dempsey does not intend to fight Harry Wills or anyone else for that matter. My information comes from a very reliable source, one that at this time I can't disclose. But it smacks of the truth; and when one has had a bit of experience with the manipulators who direct the plays; can be relied on as gospel. According to the information, Dempsey was willing to surrender the crown but his demands were exhibitant. It was the old game, disposing of a title that had become a liability instead of a set and making the public pay the price of the transaction. Pay the price of the transaction to Gene via the decision route and all hail the new king. But there was a rub; the demands of the champion were so impossible that both Gene and his manager, Billy Gibson, balked. Just what Dempsey demanded of Gibson and his fighter is not known. But there was no doubt that Jace could buy a king's ransom from the old title. Tunney, my affirmant claims, was to pay Jack a big, cash bonus, in addition, FROM THE PRESS BOX By WILLEY A. JOHNSON JR. On The Imbroglio For some time, the paramount query in the minds of those sharply related, connected, or by any means interested in the Cauliflower Industry was when will Jack Dempsey, habitat of the regal throne of the heavyweight box fighting division, fight—whom, why and what for? Now it seems that that much of the situation has been cleared up, then, whom, where and why he will fight, since that august body of regulators and controllers of padded mitt thumpers of New York has done a complete reversal and sanctioned the very fight that it was opposed to and voted down then voted for again by a two to one vote in less than a fortnight. The only hitch now, seems to be in Col. John J. Phelan, chairman of the license committee, an associated but independent body. What he will do is not timed and he says that he reaches New York after his regiment breaks camp and returns to the metropolis August 11. Anyone of a fair amount of intelligence can realize the amount of work attached to the promotion of an event of any proportions. It must be ballyhooed and a proper amount of propagation attached to it. There are many schemes or plans devised to keep interest keen and make for the promotion of a promoterable fellow. This Phelan fellow has a great line of stuff and you may bet your bottom dollar that he knows well, the ground he trods. Everybody connected with this affair knows exactly what is going to happen and at what time. They know whether Col. Phelan will give the proposed contestants a clear bill or not. They knew, in advance what George Brower, who changed his vote, would do. It was known that Col. whether Wills or Tummy will or will not fight Dempsey. And it was known all along whether Dempsey would fight again or who he would fight. Everything is working out as planned and all of it gives impetus to Richard's plans. Col. hard, accurate driving was the deathly weapon employed by Dr. Downing in breaking through the DuBissette line and capturing the concession. Miss Eunice Brown, of Winton, N. C., romped away with the women's singles championship when she won her final match from Mrs. Gertrude Preston, of Roanoke, Va., with a score of 6-2, 6-3. Miss Brown displayed superb skill and uncanny driving for placements. The men's doubles were won by E. D. Downing and L. C. McGriff. The women and L. C. McGriff and McCoy. The smatch went the full route and the final set was determined only after extra games had been played. The women's doubles were contested by Miss Allie Griffin, basketball star of Bluefield Institute and Miss Emile Brown of Manitou, Manitou and Miss E. E. Moore of Bluefield Institute, Miss Griffith and Miss Brown won the spirited match with a score of 6-1, 6-3. ERMAN FIG ered $300 Dempsey was to get a big percentage of Gene's ring earnings after winning the title. While this in itself was exacting, an additional clause inserted by the champion, has made the proposed championship bout an impossibility. "Harry Wills could have had a crack at the title, that is, he could have faced the champion in the ring had he been willing: to accept $300,000 and flopped, according to this party. "Yes, Harry was offered a quarter of a million and a bonus of $50,000 to sign for the big act. Don't pay any attention about that talk about politics blocking a Wills-Dempsey fight. Had Harry agreed to flop, the fight would have been staged long ago. But your big fellow is too square for anything like that; nor would he sign and double the gamblers like Johnson did. That was the way it was spilled to me, word for word. According to the story, Rickard, Dempsey, Tunney, Gibson and several others are in the "Know all" and at the right moment, the proposed fight will be called off. But before this happens, Paddy Mullins and Harry Wills will be used in the bally-hoo; in fact that is what is being done at the present time. But the mystery lies in what the object is; Dempsey may get publicity for his screen ventures; Tunney no doubt will try to optimize claiming the title, but who does Rickard come in? Is it a Harry Wills-Gene Tunney match? Don't be surprised. Tunney is almost certain to hit the title and perhaps fight it against Harry. In the event of victory over the "Panther," Gene and Jack might fight soon time next year and for a record gate. But, if Harry the ex-marine, Dempsey will dispute Harry's right to the title, maybe fight him in 1927. Who can tell? It's a nice little kettle of fish. I'll say. THE BOX A.JOHNSON,JR Phelan knows, at this time, what he will do when he reaches New York. Those on the outside are in the dark and many of them think everything is running along as best they can, but there are those who will not be deceived. Rickard is not yet a candidate for a padded cell. You would not find him losing time and a bunch of duets too, fighting, fussing and fuming over a lost cause. Everything is all set, to be or not to be. Time will prove as it does in all other cases. Just Ahead August has just crept in upon us and September is just around the corner which means that the jump is just a few jumps on the road. At present, the proposed activities of most of the schools and colleges have not been announced and much cannot be said of prospects and possibilities. Undoubtedly many eyes will be focused on the newly formed American Academy of Achievement of Howard and Lincoln are among the leading members. It has been reported that the outlook for this organization is very bright. The approval of Johnson C. Smith's membership in the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association adds a bit of color and a little more interest and boosts the membership to eight schools. Smith tends to make competition keen and more interesting. It is expected that Smith will come around with a strong team. The Bear - Brigade of Shaw seems to have been the hardest hit team at the close of the past school year. Practically the entire squad graduated, leaving little or no muscle to build this year's squad around. However, it is expected that Martin is equal to the task and will produce a creditable team. St. Paul also holds promise of coming back strong this season and make the pace hot for the other contenders. The Tiger clan suffered some setbacks early last season, but it came back hard and strong to spill much dope. You will lose lead figuring on St. Paul. She always springs into action. The association were not hard hit and are expected to produce teams equal to those of last year, if not better. Disquieting Rumors It has come from a somewhat reliable source, that the activities of Virginia Seminary will be crimped this year owing to some difficulties. How much credence to put in this rumor is a question. The source from which it comes cannot help but cause a bit of alarm. It would be very regretful if such is the case. Whatever that difficulty might be, here's hoping that it will be surmounted and that the activities of the institution will continue without any interruption. Seminary would have to drop out of the scheme of things, it would mean that Norfolk would be without college games this year, according to tentative schedules released so far. FLOWERS WINS FAVOR OF LOS ANGELES FANS FLOWERS WINS FAVOR OF LOS ANGELES FANS (By The Associated Negro Press) Los Angeles, Cal., Aug. 17—The second colored world champion to ever appear in the Angeles in its history listened to the cheers from over 2,500 crowds at Saturdays day, "the old master," Joe Gans, fought here, but no greater or more enthusiastic crowd welcomed him than saw Tiger Flowers, the middleweight king of the world, beat Sailor Eddie Huffman, white, the pride of Los Angeles. Flowers, who is without doubt the most popular champion of years because of his gameness, his colorful fighting, and clean living, has been the idol and attraction of the city during his fortnight here. Dozens of invitations churches have poured into the office of his manager, Walk Miller, besides many cigar, cigarettes, and private clubs. Few were acceded for he is very strict and business-like in training. Saturday's fight took place in the great Ascot arena, where 20,000 automobiles were parked long before the gates opened. Over 6,000 colored persons bought tickets in advance Friday night at the ticket offices on Central Avenue, according to Joe Lillard, owner of the Arena with Dick Donald, also an owner. Flowers entered the arena first to a rousing cheer from colored and white. Betting had switched to Huffman and he too received a big ovation. Abie Roth was refreee. The St. Paul-Hampton game has been taken from Norfolk this year and might continue to remain away for some time, if not all time. The game scheduled here for two years will be played this season in Lawrenceville and Hampton and Lawrenceville alternately each year after.

It is a striking story of vivid and intensely dramatic action, laid in a background that ranges from the grim routine of New York's criminal courts to the smart social atmosphere of Fifth Avenue's exclusive homes. The chief character is a brilliant young laywoman, who becomes an Assistant District Attorney in New York-City and is forced to choose between his ideal of duty and the girl he loves, under thrilling circumstances. His refusal to prosecute the mystery-woman, charged with the murder of his fiancée's father; his desperate and eventually successful efforts to save her from conviction in the face of a perfect network that point to her guilt; and his ultimate and startling disclosure as to her real identity make up a picture throbbing with human interest and terrific emotional power.

NOT Apply to Industrial Insurance Companies The Commissioner of Insurance Explains that the New Law recently passed by Legislature only applies to FRATERNAL ORGANIZATIONS having white officers and colored members and FRATERNAL ORGANIZATIONS having colored officers and white members. State of Virginia BUREAU of INSURANCE To the Industrial Insurance Companies of Virginia. Norfolk, Virginia. I have just been advised of an article appearing in the Norfolk Journal and Guide, under date of Saturday, July 31, 1926. After reading the above mentioned article, it occurred to me that this statement might be misleading to a great many Negro policyholders who were holding policies in our Industrial Companies in this State, therefore, thought it best to issue a statement to relieve the impression on the part of some of these policyholders that their insurance was not good. This has no reference to policies issued by the INDUSTRIAL INSURANCE COMPANIES OF VIRGINIA, the law mentioned in the above article only applying to the policies issued by fraternal organizations having white officers and admitting colored people to membership, and fraternal organizations having colored officers and admitting white people to membership. This law does not prevent insurance companies with white officers from issuing policies to colored people; therefore, the policies issued by the Industrial Insurance Companies of Virginia are good under our present law. Commissioner of Insurance for the State of Virginia. By FRATERNAL INSURANCE is meant the sick and death benefits paid by Societies and Organizations which conduct their business through lodges. By INDUSTRIAL INSURANCE is meant policies paying sick, accident and death benefits that are issued by stock companies which collect their premiums or dues weekly or monthly through agents, or at their local office. PUBLISHERS' NOTE—The above advertisement is published in the Journal and Guide to further explain the New Insurance Law, and to remove any impression in the mind of any person that the law applies to INDUSTRIAL INSURANCE.—P.

He boldly discovers the methods of sociology, anthropology and religion in the more subtle and potent essence of art." Jarid Belasco's Prediction Belasco, pre-eminent art showman, a producer of discussing the cast of his Belle, his current success, in August 7 issue of Liberty Ma- ter under the caption "The And the Stage." predicts The Negro from today on will compel recognition thru power of his instinctive ability.

Every member of the company was a type truly representative of the 200,000 blacks congregated in the Harlem section of New York City. At first I was minded to do the play with white actors in burnt-cork make-up but I sensed the unrealness of such a proceeding and turned to a study of the Negro race at first hand. Success of the play depended on whether the Negro would display a talent sufficient to fit my needs. The Play, Lulu Belle "Here was my requirement: Lulu Belle is a symphonic cross-section of modern conditions. There are the major and minor motifs on the high-brown cabaret dancer's life—all in the center of the stage. Back of it, surrounding it, and mingling with it, are the colorful overtones of Negro community life. "One does not invest thousands of dollars in a mere hunch. So, with Miss Ulric, my star, and members of my production staff, I made journey after journey into the night life of Harlem Negro section to watch the black roll in their hours of play. "It was a revelation to me—no less. Quickly I came to sense the strong dramatic urge that runs through all the life of these apparently carefree people. "I found them neither parrot-like nor, as I had thought, conscious poseurs. Instead, I realized that they have the faculty of reacting emotionally to their surroundings, each individual falling naturally into the role his own station in life would indicate under the new circumstances. Actually, they are emotion chameleons." Describes Harlem Night Life Here Mr. Belasco gives an intimate penetrating description of Harlem's cabaret night life. "Night after night," he continues, "we went to the cabarets, until my entire mental attitude toward Negroes had undergone a change. In them I found that ingenuous, willing something that producers de- ROANOKE NEWS J. WARREN WHITTEN, Correspondent Grand Chancellor Crowell Honored With Ranguet Roanoke, Va.-On Friday evening at the City Market Auditorium, the William M. Reid Lodge No. 268, K. of P., of which Atty. Henry D. Dolphin is chancellor commander, gave an elaborate banquet and dance in honor of the Grand Chancellor, W. B. F. Crowell. The banquet was one of the most elaborate of its kind that has ever been given in the city, and the guests numbered about 100 more. Grand Chancellor Crowell having been invited to his at the Grand Lodge Session in Iowa was made to feel very proud as he marched around the spacious auditorium during the grand march that was played by Locklayer's Orchestra with a host of admirers and friends following. The William M. Reid Lodge No. 268, is one of the several Pythian Lodges in the city of Roanoke, and since Attty Dolphin has been the Chancellor of this lodge is to be given honor for the great increase in number that it has received. And it is predicted that with the leadership it has, it will soon become one of the largest lodges in the Jurisdiction. This lodge is to be commended for the unique manner in which it entertained its guests. MRS. PINKIE ARMSTEAD MRS. PINKIE ARMSTEAD, Mrs. Pinkie Armstead, of 203 Harrison avenue, N. W., Roanoke, Va, departed this life to the world unknown, July 9, 1926. She wil be for two weeks and three days, during which time she was visited by a host of friends and loved ones. On Wednesday, July 7, she began to give up the things that she had once possessed on this side of the Jordan and to fit herself for the eternal job that awaited her. In her talk she said that she wanted to go home, that she was tired of this. She left to mourn their loss a devoted daughter and a loving husband, relatives and a host of friends. She was a loyal and faithful member of the High Norfolk Journal and Guide mand of players cast for character roles. "I am amazed!" I told Miss Ulric. "These people are natural actors. And best of all, I know they will act without realizing they are in a character." Speaking of his five weeks' experience in rehearsal with the 117 Negroes of his company, chosen from the various Harlem types, Mr. Belasco says: "They never failed me in loyalty, interest, ambition to achieve, or in their almost childish devotion. There were no deflections, no failures. When the play opened in Philadelphia, it was with an original cast. Ordinarily in a company of that size there would have been ten or a dozen changes." "This condition I credit entirely to that dominating loyalty, added to the innate dramatic talent that unquestionably is a part of their soul equipment. Often I wonder if Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe had not sensed more than a bit of this when she wrote Uncle Tom's Cabin. Certainly she recognized something in the Negro deeper than merely the reflexes of an alien human chattel. . . . I marvel continually over their delicate sensibility to external influence. Actually I have found it necessary to neutralize, rather than speed up, their emotional expression, so finely are they attuned to life's harmonies—and disharmonies. "Also I found the Negro, particularly the one with educational advantages, thinking very saney along racial lines. . . . . I am gled to be the first producer to show the Negro; not in caricature, but as he really is. "It is a far cry from natual kraal to cosmopolitan stage—but— "The Negro has made the jour nev. "Watch him during the next decade!" David Bolasco, after fifty years experience with the American stage, sees new vistas opened to the Negro race through the dramatic art. The thought is entrenching.

H. Garvin, a prominent Negro physician of Cleveland, Ohio, in a paper on the "immunity to Disease of Dark-Skinned People" in the August number of Opportunity, published by the National Urban Library, inviting findings of immense racial import. His paper reflects the passion of the research scholar, and is not too erudite for the lay reader. Other features for August include "Muttsy," a short story by Zora Hurston; "Doing His Bit," the epic tale of a Pullman porter, by Nimrod B. Allen; "The Pink Hat," a corking satirical sketch by Mrs. Aaron Day jr., a review of W. C. Handy's "Blues" by Langston Hughes; "Whites and Blacks," by David H.

OGDEN L. MILLS FLAYS BORAH'S GEORGIA SPEECH OGDEN L. MILLS FLAYS BORAH'S GEORGIA SPEECH New York—The recent speech by Senator Borah of I daho in Georgia in which he advocated the strict enforcement of the Prohibition Amendment and in which he neglected to refer even by inference to the wilful disregard of the 14th and 15th Amendments has brought acrimonious criticism of Borah. In referring to the 15th Amendment and Mr. Borah and the proposed Prohibition referendum in New York, Representative Ogden L. Mills, of New York said: "One word as to political courage. The Senator says those responsible for the submission of this question to the people of New York were actuated by cowardice rather than by conviction. When Senator Borah urges in Atlanta the enforcement of the Fifteenth Amendment, and defends Volsteadism and its fruits in New York City, he may in consequence of others'捏捏恤捏 of theirs. But as long as he remains discreetly silent on the nullification of the Fifteenth Amendment, and selects the heart of the dry belt as the appropriate place to proach the sacredness of the Volstead act, he is hardly in a position to question the backbone of others. "The Fifteenth Amendment," Mr. Mills wrote, "is still part of the constitution. Section 2 of the Fifteenth Amendment provides that "The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation." "It would be interesting to know what Senator Borah, who professes to believe that full force and effect should be given to every line of the constitution, has ever done to see that Congress lived up to the obligation imposed by section 2. Referring to the "concurrent power" clause of the Eighteenth Amendment, Mr. Mills went on. "On the one hand, Senator Borah has, by his silence and failure to introduce the necessary legislation, participated in the nullification of the Fifteenth Amendment; on the other hand, the Senator charges with nullification those who desire to see the State make use of the concurrent power specifically granted them by the constitution. In other words, the failure of Congress to perform the exclusionly it is posed upon it so severely, nullification, but the attempt by the states to cure a condition that threatens the moral life of the nation, by making use of the authority expressly provided for, would be. This inconsistency is so great as to be almost ludicrous." VISITORS TO OUR CITY Miss Bertha Walker, of Charleston, West Virginia, arrived in the city during the week of the 26th, to pay a visit to her aunt, Mrs. Louise Dent, of 215 Harrison avenue, west.

Arthur Hopkins, the producer of this opera, is one of the best known producers in New York. "What Price Glory" was produced by him. The River" will have a chorus of about one hundred voices and three conductors using the baton at the same time. The music in the opera is modern and polyphonic in every respect.

(By Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill, Aug. 3—The Chicago Tribune has taken the initiative this week in questioning a number of senators and senate aspirants relative to their attitude toward the suffrage of the Negro in states where he is not permitted to vote. The Tribune action is felt to have been inspired by a speech of Senator Borah in Atlanta, Ga., who characterized the effort to repeal the Volunteer Act to nullify the Eighteenth Amendment. The Tribune wants to discover how many senators there are who feel that there should be some such act as the Volstead to enforce the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. having trouble enough with the force laws we have already. "The late Senator Lodge of Massachusetts was the author of the last force bill and he made a vigorous effort to pass it. Some Southern Senators strenuously opposed it and in doing so revived some of the fever that existed in the carpet bag days after the Civil War. Senator Lodge told me a short time ago that these things should be forgotten and that he realized his force bill was a mistake. "White people and colored in the South seem to be getting along very satisfactorily and the Negroes I have talked According to the Tribune, Gov. John J. Blaine, contesting for the seat now occupied by Senator Lenroot of Wisconsin, said in response to the inquiry, that congress should enact legislation that will compel southern states to carry out the intent of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. "These two amendments should be enforced and observed," Governor Blaine declared. "Congress should carry out the duty to enforce these amendments by appropriate legislation, and such duty, in my opinion, is mandatory. I shall vote for legislation to make these amendments effective." Senator Lenroot was less definite. He wired in reply to a long-distance telephone inquiry; "Could not answer your question without knowing the law and the facts in a particular case. The Fourteenth Amendment covers many subjects, and, of course, any state law in conflict with it is invalid." Subsequently, a message asking a further statement was unanswered by Senator Lenroot. Senator James A. Reed, Missouri Democrat in charge of the Senate's slush fund investigation, expressed himself as being against any more force laws to prop up amendments to the constitution of the United States. "Let the South take care of its own problems," Senator Reed said. "If we have any more force laws, we'll only have more trouble, and were V. Kelley; grand conductress, Mrs. Alice K.

Senator Lodge told me a short time before his death that those things should be forgotten and that he realized his force bill was a mistake. "White people and colored in the South seem to be getting along very satisfactorily and the Negroes I have talked to seem to be pretty well satisfied with things as they are. We don't want any more force laws." Southern senators in Washington, according to the Tribune, refused to be quoted, but expressed the belief that Gov. Blaine would be unable to accomplish anything along the line of enforcing the Negro amendments. They were of the opinion that the governor was talking for campaign effect in Wisconsin rather than with any serious idea of obtaining action. Some senators were puzzled to know just how Gov. Blaine, thru any senate action would be able to bring suffrage to the colored citizens of the South. They point out that the Supreme Court of the United States uphold the constitutionality of laws of southern states which provide conditions under which the right of franklinism may be exercised. Such state laws have been upheld, provided the same conditions were made to seem to apply to all. The Republican Senator Reed from Pennsylvania, it will be recalled; threatened at one time to propose a provision which would prohibit the seating of a senator from a state where Negroes were not permitted to vote. His proposal failed to receive serious consideration. It is significant that Senator LaFollette, Wisconsin, a friend and political colleague of Gov. Blaine, declined to express himself on the subject. Negro leaders in this city have pointed out that Negro voters should keep strict tab on how their senators feel on this matter with a view of holding them to "strict accountability" when the time comes. WHITE STUDENTS PROTEST AGAINST DISCRIMINATION New York—A number of white students of Columbia University have protested against the attempted barring of Negro students from the teachers College Men's dinner to be held on August 7. Teachers College is an integral part of Columbia University. The Men's Dinner is an annual event. Last year 1102 men were present at the affair, according to the announcement and the same source of information predicts that 1300 will be in attendance this year, the number of tickets being limited to that number. The protest against the attempted barring of Negroes from the university in an article posted on the bulletin board of International: House at 124th Street and Riverside Drive where many of the students are staying. The protest reads: "Word has come to the undersigned white men studying at Teachers. College this summer that unofficially the committee in charge of the Men's Dinner does not wish to have tickets sold to Negroes. These men (the undersigned) and doubtless many others cannot with a clear conscience attend a dinner with which is conducted an undercocratic and un-Christian fashion. "These men request the committee to sell tickets to all Teachers College men who may wish to buy them and allow brotherhood to prevail among those who seek the truth." This brave and fair stand by these white students will it is felt affect profoundly sentiment, at Teachers College and will result in the rescinding of the order or tactic agreement to bar Negro students from the dinner.

A. C. P. asking him if this "wanton and gratuitous insult to the colored people of the United States" should they simply say in part: "While I do not know what occasioned the writing of the editorial in the Paris Herald, to which you refer, I am able to say that it does not represent in any way the past or the Herald-Tribune in the present." Editorial Sent to N. A. A. C. P. The editorial in question was sent to the N. A. A. C. P. by Charles Edward Russell, a member of its Board of Directors, who is speaking slightly of the changing psychology of the American Negro from "the extreme abjection of the slavery period" to "the grateful humility of the period immediately following emancipation" and now to the demand for full equality and rights, the editorial sneeringly speaks of Clarence Darrow's naming of the N. A. C. Colleague of what Mr. Darrow said in his recent speech at the Chicago Conference of the N. A. A. C. P. "boshy sentiment and meretricious eloquence" the writer says, "The stand which he (Mr. Darrow) now takes is partly against the continuation of the so-called slave system of the white and colored race, and partly against the continuation of Negro disfranchisement in the Southern States. Even great abilities such as Mr. Darrow possesses can not throw down social barriers. They are erected and maintained and unrestrained, with time only and the slow growth of custom can change." The writer then goes on to compare Mr. Darrow's incompromising stand for full justice to the Negro with the recent statement by Senator Borah of Idaho that the enfranchisement of the Negro was praising Mr. Borah for his stand. In his letter to the N. A. A. C. P. sending the editorial Mr. Russell said: "The attack is obviously malicious, spitty and without covenant of the Negro is no issue about colored people in Europe, outside of Great Britain. Whatever may be their attitude at home, Americans in France have no reason to indulge in attacks upon colored Americans. It is possible that some of them are gratifying his prejudices. I think such an exhibition of petty meanness should not be allowed to go unreubaked." The Advancement Association in thanking Mr. Reid has requested him, in view of his disagreement with his官僚, to take such steps as are necessary to prevent the repetition of such malicious attacks.

This church is taking on new life under its new pastor and preacher, of which this city is proud. Mrs. Gibbs and Mrs. Hudson are yet sick. The new parsonage is partly completed. "The Negro Business League is being reorganized in this city and the local pastors are asking all of their members to take part in this worthy movement. That Baby You've Longed For Mrs. Burton Advices Women on Motherhood and Companionship "For several years I was denied the blessing of motherhood," writes Mrs. Burton. "I was terribly nervous and subject to perils of terrible suffering and melancholia. I felt a little daughter and a true companion and inspiration to my mother. I begged her to know the secret of my happiness, like to know the secret of my happiness, woman who will write me." Mrs. Burton offers her advice entirely without should be addressed to Mrs. Marax.

NOREOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE Crowd Expected To Go To Yorktown With St. John S. S. Monday One of the largest excursion crowds of the season is expected to go with St. John's A. M. E. Church Sunday school on its tour to historical Yorktown Va., Monday morning, August 9, aboard the palatial steamer New York, of the Pennsylvania lines. This outing offers an exceptionally good opportunity for mothers and children, in fact, whole families to spend a day of real enjoyment. Yorktown abounds with sights of historical interest in connection with the founding of this nation. A visit to the quaint town is in itself a fine education for any child or adult. St. John Sunday school has a wide reputation of giving only the very best outings, excellent order, fine service and abundance of refreshments. The town will leave the Pennsylvania pier at the foot of Brook avenue at 9 o'clock a.m., returning, it will leave Yorktown at 6 p. m., affording a remarkable moonlight sail over the placid waters of the James. ROANOKE DISTRICT A. M. E. CONFERENCE IN MEMORABLE MEET ROANOKE DISTRICT A. M. E. CONFERENCE IN MEMORABLE MEET Roanoke District Conference of the Virginia Annual Conference A. M. E. Church met in Memorial Session at Martinsville, July 20-23rd, Rev. Dr. T. W. Cotten, presiding. On July 20th at the call of Presiding Elder Cotton, the ministers and prominent laymen of the Roanoke District of the Virginia Conference assembled in their annual session at Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church, Martinsville, Va. The Rev. Buiunger minister, pastor, is Tempelman minister, "Brook," Conference goes on forever, so this one and many things in common with those preceding it. But its peculiar characteristics give it a distinction which easily places it in a class to itself. Educationally and spiritually it broke all previous records. After listening to Prof. W, G. Pearson, of Durham, N. G., who is now director of the Endowment and Maintenance Fund of Kittrell College, the district subscribed over $1,000 to be paid to that institution by ministers, most of whom are serving mission charges. Rev. Dr. J. Alex Valentine, dex-cean of Kittrell College, introduced Prof. Pearson who presented his project elementarily and convincingly. Rev. O. E. Bungardon, with the banishment of Dr. S. W. T. Cotton and J. Alexander Vulteiling, offered a resolution creating a scholarship fund for the benefit of worthy boys and girls of the Roanoke District, who are desirous of obtaining an education and have not sufficient means. This fund will be in charge of five laymen elected by the district conference. The splendid literary addresses of T. P. D. Smith, E. Harris, L. P. Herring, G. H. Holman and Leroy Grandy; and the inspirational sermons ably delivered by Rev. D. A. Blake, L. L. Watson and Geo. J. Rones were heartily received. Presiding Elder Cotten impressed upon his co-workers the great need of preaching a burning gospel. There were present many of our leading churchmen: Drs. M. E. Davis, P. E., of Portsmouth District; A. J. Nottingham, P. E., of Richmond district; L. L. Berry, Fraternal delegate of Norfolk district; S. W. Fouqua, of Franktown; R. J. Butt, of Hampton and J. H. Pinkard, of Roanoke. Mrs. Georgia Roberts, of Lynchburg, presided over the Sunday School Institute, and Mrs. Nora B. Taylor, of the W. M. M. S. of Virginia, came up from Newport News to bring greetings. Martinsville opened her gates and the visitors were formally welcomed by Rev. G. P. Watkins, of the Presbyterian Church, Rev. Morris, of Baptist Church and Drs. Woodward and C. S. Cowan. MOUNT LEBANON BAPTIST CHURCH The members and friends came out in large numbers on last Sunday to take part and enjoy the services. The early morning prayer meeting was highly spiritual. In the Sunday school there were many teachers and scholars present and several visitors. After a most interesting lesson study the various classes made commendable reports, with the Adult Class holding the banner. At 11:30 a. m. the pastor gave a wonderful sermon, showing how God would always protect his people. In the afternoon a spiritual covenant meeting was held. The B. Y. P. U. rendered an excellent program at 5:30 p. m. At night the sacrament of the Lord's Supper was administered to a large number of communicants, and two persons received the right-hand of fellowship. Next Sunday morning the pastor will preach on "No Victory Without Hardships." In the afternoon the Rising Sons and Daughters of Moses will hold memorial services. The pastor will preach again at night. BETHEL BAPTIST CHURCH The attendance: was good at Sabbath School on last Sunday. Lessons were interesting and the contribution commendable. Those who attended the morning service were certainly benefited by the splendid sermon preached by the pastor, Rev. R. L. Harris on the subject: "The Lord Will Provide," showing the necessity for one to do his duty and have faith in God to believe that He will provide, "And Abraham said, my son, 'God A. M. E.

Every man should live so that he has no cause for a lawyer to get him out of trouble. Enthusiasm is something that begins to ooze away after the third installment has been paid. Noise Makers Lack Nervous Sensitivity Noise makers of all sorts may be classed as people lacking in nervous sensitivity. The natural effect of noise is to create confusion and too much of it will induce craziness of one sort and another. Some people are so highly string that they cannot stand the noise of thunder, and the victim of shell shock, is one of the most pathetic of the casualties of war. Whole communities noted for their noise making drive people away who want quiet, and those who seek quietude, especially in their home life, fight stubbornly to keep out of their neighborhoods persons who make noise a plenty and appear to grow fat on it. The news reports have it that an Italian dweller in a New York apartment house asked his neighbor on the next floor to let up on the noise making of his victoria prolonged into the small hours of the morning, and when he refused to abate the noise shot him up, and when the police came with their noise to arrest him he shot them up also and could only be overmastered and taken to the hospital after he had been shot and beaten to a frazile. We sympathize deeply with the man who protested against the noise making. Imagine a tenement in which there is a victrola, a radio, a banjo and a piano jumble with some vocal horrification, staged from 8 to 1 a. m., with the thermometer 90 in the shade, and you have an inferno for a person who dislikes noise as perfect as could be made to order, and there are millions of such infernos in full swing in the United States on over night of the week. Is it any wonder that insanity is on the increase and that so many people do unheard of things neither they nor their neighbors can understand! The noise makers have much to answer for. Death of Mr. Lincoln's Surviving Son The readers of the JOURNAL AND GUIDE have more than a sentimental interest in the death of Robert Todd Lincoln, the oldest and surviving of the four sons of President Lincoln. He died in his sleep, at his country home, at Manchester, Vermont, July 26, at the age of 82 years. He had been in poor health for some time. Mr. Lincoln's modesty was one of his most outstanding characteristics. He was born in Springfield, Ill., August 1, 1843, and graduated from Harvard University in 1864. Mr. Lincoln had all of the solid qualities of his illustrious father with little of his father's brilliance. He was a good plodder and knew how to make a place for himself by sticking to his last. He never cared for the deep waters of politics. When he came out of Harvard he went into the army as captain on the staff of General Grant, and served as such until the surrender of General Lee at Appomattox. He was present in Ford's Opera, in Washington, when his father was assassinated by J. Wilkes Booth, April 14, 1865. After the war Mr. Lincoln settled in Chicago and engaged in the practice of law. He was one of the lawyers of George M. Pullman and upon the death of that great and good man became president of the Pullman Palace Car Company, and was chairman of its executive board at the time of his death. But this was after he had served as Secretary of War under President Garfield and through the administration of President Arthur, and after he had served as Minister to Great Britain by appointment of President Harrison and served from 1889 until 1893. Mr. Lincoln was cold and undemonstrative, and very untalkative. He bore no physical resemblance to his father and appeared to possess none of his good nature and wit. Perhaps he lived and died under the shadow of the tragedy which separated him from his father when he was just entering upon the active work of life. We owe the Lincoln's a great deal and we shall always have a lively interest in the name of the father and those, who shall come after him in his name. And Father Abraham, the saviour of the nation, was more father to the emancipated slave than to any other group of the American people. He gave the slave social, civil and economic life, and the Afro-American people will always regard him as their spiritual father and saviour. Editorial Page of Separation of Church and State Convulsing Mexico The people of Mexico are all wrought up over a conflict between the State and the Catholic Church, and there has been some bloodshed, the differences arising out of the gradual development of political interference of the Catholic authorities in the government of the country. The Mexican constitution guarantees freedom of political worship, the same as does the constitution of the United States, but churchly activities have been aimed at political as well as spiritual control since the independence of the country from Spanish rule. The people of Mexico are Catholics, but they insist that State and Church administrations shall be separate. This has at last led to open antagonism between the Church and State. President Calles has put in force the provisions of the constitution which provide complete separation of Church and State, that none but Mexicans may be ministers of a cult in Mexico, that elementary primary education must be non-sectarian and that neither convents nor any of the other religious organizations forbidden since the time of President Jaurez shall be permitted. The expulsion of the foreign priests and the closing of the schools and nunneries, with possible confiscation of church property, have created a tense situation which may easily degenerate into civil war, a situation withal which the people of the United States and Latin America and Europe are regarding with more or less of interest. It is a significant fact that the United States and Canada are the only Protestant countries in North, Central and South America, all of Latin America, purely of Spanish and Indian origins being Catholic. But Catholic domination in the political affairs of the nations has steadily declined since the Protestant Reformation, headed by Martin Luther, so that everywhere today separation of Church and State in the administration of governments has been effected, but the Catholic heirarchy insists upon striving to recover temporal dominations. Religious wars have always been among the bloodiest and it is to be hoped that Mexico may not have such a war to contend with. Norfolk, Portsmouth and South Norfolk Consolidation The proposal which has been intermittently advanced over a number of years that the neighboring cities of Norfolk, Portsmouth and South Norfolk might advantageously consolidate into a single great city second in population in the South to none save New Orleans, and which has been lately revived seems to have met wider encouragement at this time than at any time in the past. A prominent citizen of Portsmouth, the city heretofore regarded as the main stumbling block to consolidation, brought up the proposal a few weeks ago and it has since received official recognition from the other communities concerned in the form of committees named to study its feasibility. The picture presented in consolidation is a fascinating one. A thriving city of approximately 225,000 population; with miles and miles of unmatchable harbor front; with a vast area of choice land for homesites; with a great area accessible by both rail and water beckoning for industrial development; that city having within its borders and contiguous to it a combined Negro population of a hundred thousand people as a vast source of the most loyal and contented labor on earth, all swept by the finest climate on the continent and nestling in the palm of a vast truck farming region, is the picture presented in the proposal to consolidate Norfolk, Portsmouth and South Norfolk. It is a consummation devoutly to be wished. It is indeed a community pessimist who does not already visualize this section entering upon an era of unprecedented prosperity, just about ready to receive a baptism of unparalleled commercial and industrial development. With these three communities combined as one, each striving for the good of the whole, there is no doubt that the ushering in of that era would be greatly accelerated. "Cast down your buckets where you are" seems now more than ever an appropriate advice to the colored people of this section. In the southern end of Portsmouth there is an abundance of choice home sites that are available at a reasonable figure; the colored population of South Norfolk can be doubled without over-crowding, and the northern and eastern extremities of Norfolk still possess plenty of beautiful home tracts. With the three cities combined under a single government much of that natural provincial prejudice would be eliminated and development in each of them would be considerably stimulated. In the event of consolidation we will have a city with a colored population of approximately 90,000, boasting a wealth unequalled by Negroes in any city between here and Atlanta. If such a tremendous population would rid itself of petty jealousies, acquire a genuine community spirit, imbue itself with faith and confidence in its people, the possibilities for development in every phase of our lives would be unsurpassed by any like group anywhere. The JOURNAL AND GUIDE hopes that the committees which are to study the feasibility of consolidation will be able to report favorably and with unanimity, in order that the preliminary steps may at once be taken to bring these three neighboring cities into one great municipality of the South. Norfolk Journal and Guide "Nigger" The train had stopped at Grewe, Virginia. In the park beside the railroad two park beside the railroad two well matched teams were playing baseball. An orderly crowd sat in the grandstand. Both halls and bats were evidently new, while the players' uniforms were either now or very well kept. And a mighty good game was in progress. Needless to say, all eyes soon turned that way. Finally, one of the passengers, who had alighted and was standing watching the game, asked what teams well matched 'teams' were playing baseball. An orderly crowd sat in the grandstand. Both halls and bats were evidently new, while the players' uniforms were either now or very well kept. And a mighty good game was in progress. Needless to say, all eyes soon turned that way. Finally, one of the passengers, who had alighted and was standing-watching the game, asked what teams they were. Before anyone could venture a reply a little white girl standing near remarked aloud to her younger brother, "it's a 'nigger' team." Immediately her face and neck reddened, and she gave a sudden look around of shame and fear as if this simple statement might be offensive. And well she might. For there I stood close by her, also the train porter who likewise was a Negro. Even this child of not more than eleven realized that "nigger" was no complimentary descriptive for a man who was not white. Until the train left, not another word was spoken. The little girl and her brother watched in silence. The men from the white coaches looked on without comment. The porter and I were left to nurse our wounded feelings and muse over our resentments. Say what you please, no thoughtful person could be without resentment at being so discourteously spoken of. Is there any white man, woman or child who enjoys being tarmed "poor white trash"? Is there any white person who welcomes being dubbed a "cracker", even if he does eat cracked corn because of his poverty? Is there any man of Chinese blood who would employ a sign painter to advertise his business as a "Chink' Restaurant"? No more does a Negro mentally tolerate such a term as "nigger." Negroes really enjoy, just as other people, being accorded the simple courtesy of being called what they are in current good English instead of slang. That is why so many colored citizens of Norfolk have been thrilled with pride here of late as they have read the Virginia-Pilot. This paper has fallen in line with so many other progressive Southern dailies in capitalizing the word Negro. And why not? The word Caucasian is mere descriptive of the white division of the human species. It carries with it no understanding that every white person is a descendant of dwellers in the Caucasus mountains. Yet the word is capitalized. Similarly, the term Negro is a universally accepted descriptive of the black division of the human species. There is no necessity that every black man be able to point out a land or nation named Negro, in order to have this racial descriptive spelled with a capital N. So I am a Negro, not a nigger; a Negro, not a negro. Spirit of The Press Ever since the American Colored people have had the right of franchise they have been accused of selling their votes. According to the information brought out by the Senate Committee, to investigate the expenditure of the three Pennsylvania candidates for the United States Senate in the recent primaries, nearly two million dollars were spent. Only a small proportion of this money found its way into the pockets of the colored voters. Compared with what the white workers received the colored voters gave their services free and without cost. The TRIBUNE has consistently maintained that the colored voters do not sell their votes. They give them away. Colored ward leaders are pikers. For every dollar spent to corral the colored vote ten thousand is spent among the white people. Aside from the actual cash spent, millions in patronage is handed out to the faithful. But very little of the big juicy political plums fall into the laps of the colored brother. In the face of these things we are accused of selling out. Can you beat it? Honesty In Business From the Petersburg Progress-Index. One C. F. Sesinger, of New York, described as "an official of the protective department" of a surety company, declared in the course of an address at a luncheon of the Atlantic City Kiwanis Club last week that, "Ninety per cent of the people in this country are potential crooks." We have no data on the character or personal record of Mr. Sesinger, but we can't help feeling that a man holding such opinions of his fellowmen is entitled to be classed among that 90 per cent of which he speaks. Sesinger seems to be no more nor less than the head of the detective department of the surety company, by which he is employed. It is his business to keep his eye open for crookedness and crooks. Naturally honest men whom he meets in the line of duty make little impression upon him. Hence his wild declaration asserting the preponderance of crooks among the country's population. The average sane individual will not be impressed by such statement. Unfortunately, young men and the more thoughtless among their elders will be affected differently. Thousands and tens of thousands of able men of affairs in constant contact, with other business men, will be quick to denounce the statement that only ten per cent of those engaged in business are honest. That the average business man is honest in his dealings is established by overwhelming testimony. The dishonest man is the exception. THE FORUM Readers of the Journal and Guide are invited to express their views upon public questions in this column. Letters should be brief and to the point, not exceeding 100 words. Public responsibility for the views herein expressed. Sir:—Your editorial in last week's issue, under the caption "Col. Cabell's Speech" is, in my opinion, very illogical, unwholesome and unsound. You start out by establishing a false premise and quite naturally you arrive at an erroneous conclusion. Referring to, the practice of inviting white speakers to address colored audiences, you state . . . "And these speakers, coming to us from time to time, have almost invariably inspired and helped us and have advanced the cause of racial understanding and adjustment." Since when, may I ask Mr. Editor, did this become the invariable result? My observation, and the overwhelming consensus of opinion among the thinking Negroes, is that this result is the exception rather than the rule. The fact is, the great majority of Southern white speakers who accept invitations to address Negro audiences have so "invariably" fed them with the hokum of how they. loved their old "black mammies," or what a good old "darky" "uncle Tom" or "aunt Mary" was, that intelligent, self respecting Negroes have become totally disgusted with such programs and about the best way to keep them away from a meeting of any kind is to advertise a white speaker. As to the assertions, "It is plain that Col. Cabell did not deliver the speech he came to deliver, and it is evident that something occurred between the time he arrived at the church and the time he arose to speak that induced him to make the sort of speech he did make." .and. .and. .and."and it comes with equally poor grace for the host to get the guest in his house and then smoke him out on questions the guest had not been forewarned would be discussed," these are palpable criticisms of Attorney W. W. Foreman, for referring to certain high-handed practices indulged in by the white South relative to the political rights and privileges of Negro citizens, when he introduced the Colonel. I witnessed the entire program and I am quite certain that I voice the sentiment of a vast majority of those who witnessed it. with me when I say the remarks of Mr. Foreman in introducing the speaker were as polite and courteous as one could ask for, albeit, they were dignified, manly and courageous and straight from the shoulder. At any rate, his remarks did not put anything into the heart of the speaker that was not in it when he arrived at the church, and if Mr. Foreman's remarks caused him to utter his real sentiments, and exhibit his true attitude towards Negroes instead of giving us the usual "applesauce" that his type "would give us on occasions of this kind, I think he did his race a great service and deserves to be applauded and encouraged rather than censured. If the Colonel was riled at what Mr. Foreman said, he should have answered him personally rather than vent his spleen upon his innocent auditors, and I believe the Colonel is intelligent enough to have known this. May I ask in passing, do you think that an editor of any of our white papers would gratuitously have taken it upon himself (as you did in this case) to criticise a white speaker for making observations similar to those made by Mr. Foreman in introducing a colored speaker to a white audience? You did not publish a news item of the program and it would seem that it were more proper for you to have avoided any comment on it whatever. Your editorial doubtless expresses your personal views, which you have a perfect right to, but I feel that your views are entirely out of harmony with the progressive type of manly, intelligent, members of our group, and these latter form the overwhelming majority of your readers. If "interracial good will" and "interracial harmony" can only be bead by the cowardly sacrifice of our manhood and the truth, then we had better eschew these other wise to-be-hoped-for ends. —A NEW NEGRO The Russian revolution was the successful reply of the Russian masses to a tyranny, centuries old, to a ruling class that only granted limited constitutional rights under pressure from the masses and took them away when the pressure lessened. There are eight varieties of poisonous mushrooms, according to recent investigations. P. NORFOLK SOUTH NORFOLK PORTSMOUTH After leaving Dayton, about which I spoke in my last release, Dayton, about my last release, my next stop was Detroit, the queen city of the lakes. My lecture was staged for the Independent Church, which Dr. Wilbur Johnson is the presiding genius. The subject of my discourse was, "Manhood and PETER B. the Inferiority Complex." It is for the audience, and not the lecturer, to comment upon the reception and appreciation of the lecture. A friend of mine expressed surprise that I had been before the public for so many years as a lecturer and public speaker, and yet am so frequently called upon to speak at places where I have so often spoken before. This reminds me to say that Detroit has been made anew, so far as the Negro is concerned since I first began to visit this automobile town some twelve years ago. Detroit was one of the cities in the Northwest where the Civil War attitude of friendship and favor towards the Afro-American was most pronounced. There were only five thousand of us there at that time. They were mainly the old citizens who boasted of the exceptional privileges which they enjoyed as compared with other less friendly communities. Any suggestion that smacked of discrimination was fought to the bitter end. Just then the idea of a colored Y. M. C. A. was beginning to take local lodgment. The old citizens who had themselves enjoyed every semblance of racial equality were bitterly opposed to the discriminatory innovation. They failed, as it seemed to me to grasp the psychology of the Nordic mind. The tolerance accorded to a few is no real indication of its normal attitude. Race prejudice sustains a relation to provoking numbers. Since those early days, Detroit has received a greater relative influx of Negro migrants than any other large city. There are now eighty-three thousand Negroes among the million and a half inhabitants. The racial spirit that once knew Detroit now knows it no more. A colored Y. M. C. A., coating over a half million dollars, is the one central community house for the whole Negro population. No one can now be found who opposes this separate establishment, except a few die hards, who will shortly be gathered with their fathers in the course of nature. The lives of the two races are as separate in all social ways as one finds in Washington or Atlanta. Detroit is perhaps the most interesting of our large cities to study from the standpoint of race sociology. The large mass of Negroes were drawn to this city for purely economic reasons. The automobile industry is the drawing card. Henry Ford is the good angel. Mr. John C. Dancey, the secretary of the loinclosed me that sixteen thoulsonal branch of the Urban League, Dr. Kelley Miller, who is making a tour of the mid-western states, finds the problems confronting the race in this section of the country not a great deal dissimilar from the problems with which it has to deal in the areas believed to be less favored in race adjustment. In Detroit, from where Dr. Miller writes this, he finds a Negro population of 83,000 among a total population of a million and a half. More than 16,000 of these Negroes are employed in the Ford industry at greater ages than the economic status this great group of colored people does not compare favorable with the economic status of people in sections where the industrial opportunities are not half so good. Negroes in Detroit earn fifty million dollars a year, but, thinks Dr. Miller, "make poorer use of their munificent earnings than any other like number of our people working under favorable circumstances." and Negroes are employed in the Ford plants of this city. The Negroes of Detroit have the best industrial chance of any group of Negroes in the world. It is estimated that they earn fifty million dollars a year. But horein lies a sad story to relate. The Detroit Negroes perhaps make a poorer use of their munificent earnings than any other like number of our people working under favorable circumstances. The fault is not wholly theirs, and therefore the greater is the pity. The Negro so far has only one means of saving, and that is in the purchase of a home. He does not understand any other more intricate form of investment. The measure of the economic progress of any Negro community can be appraised almost wholly in the matter of home ownership. There is little of their surplus earnings devoted to business or the other forms of security. Dealing in paper is all but an unfamiliar process. Even insurance which is rapidly gaining vogue is mainly for purposes of sick and death benefit rather than that of regular and normal savings. In Detroit a home is hard to secure. The ordinary workman has little idea of purchasing a home. The area has become so restricted that only the fortunate few could reasonably hope to attain to it. As result there has been general lavishness and waste of their hard-earned wages. The few homes that were available were at such an extravagant figure that only the more fortunate or the better favored would dare assume the necessary, risk and responsibility. The crying need, not only in Detroit but in all cities where similar restrictions prevail is an ample supply of available homes that fall within the reach of the average workman. It is for this reason that the colored people of Baltimore have made so much progress during the past twenty-five years. They have not received high wages but have enjoyed good and advantageous home owning opportunities. This brings me to the question of segregation as I found it operating in Detroit. There is not one lota of difference between this city and other large centers where the Negro population is pressing hard upon the heels of white tenants. Black encroachment is gradually pushing white occupants out of blocks and sections and is thus establishing larger and larger areas of solid Negro communities. The whites everywhere are disposed to move out of a block whenever two or three tenants move in. For the most part this process goes on quietly and without public notice. The process operates in New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago and other centers with as much uniformity as if worked by the same formula. Occasionally there is friction but only of the nature of a border skirmish. The same form of friction breaks out everywhere. There is nothing exceptional in Detroit. I merely happened that in one of these border skirmishes a fatality occurred. This is, I believe the only instance in which Negro encroachment has actually led to bloodshed. Negroes throughout the nation became aroused. What is to be the future of the Negro in Detroit? To answer this question would be to hazard a solution of the race problem in all of our large industrial centers. Up to the present the black workman is but a factory hand receiving fair remuneration. He does not enter into business ventures except in the narrow sense of catering to the sumptuity tastes and appetites of his race. There is not yet any indication that he will shortly enter into the management or control of the industries from which he derives his livelihood as a wage earner. This is equally true of the vast proportion of whites similarly situated. But all such control management and supervision go to the credit of the whiter race. Shall we then contemplate in perpetuity a race doomed to hand labor as wage receivers with only such independent activities as the non-productive professional pursuits? The serious student of the race problem will have to think seriously upon these things. Before closing, I must mention my visit to Ann Arbor, the seat of the University of Michigan. I lectured in this little college town on Tuesday night. In the afternoon, I was the guest of the Negro-Caucasian Club, composed of students of the white and colored races in equal numbers. The purpose of this interracial get together will be readily understood and appreciated by serious students of the race problem. The meeting was held at the house of one of the university professors who served as host. I very greatly enjoyed the meeting and was deeply impressed with its significance and meaning. The races come together at the bottom of the social scale; they meet again on the higher level of intellectual, moral and spiritual eminence. But there is wide divergence in the 'mid region where the bulk of both elements fall.
