SIX MEN UNDER The Nation-Wide Fight of Race for Men Convicted of Murder in Connection With Elaine "Race Riots" Brings Results. (Special to The Monitor) LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Dec. 9.—The splendid fight that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, backed by the race throughout the nation, has been waging for justice to the six men convicted of murder in connection with the Elaine "race riots" bore additional fruit here Monday when the Arkansas supreme court reversed and remanded for new trial the cases of these men on the ground that the Phillips court had erred in refusing to permit introduction of evidence to support a charge that prejudice had been shown in the exclusion of Negroes in the selection of the jury. It will be recalled that originally twelve Negroes were convicted of murder in eleven minutes. Upon an appeal to a higher court, six of the twelve were acquitted and six held for murder. These six were awaiting execution, but the fight was carried up to the supreme court of Arkansas. MARINE IS TAKEN CHARGE OF MURDER PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti, Dec. 9. —Dorcas Williams, a marine sergeant, formerly of Birmingham, Ala., accused of killing a native of Haiti, arrived here Saturday in custody aboard the United States destroyer McCormick. The court of inquiry which is investigating the activities of the American marines in Haiti deferred hearing Williams to enable him to confer with witnesses for the defense. Student in Union College Has Had Experience as Member of Signal Corps. (By the Associated Negro Press) SCHENECTADY, N. Y., Dec. 9.—Probably the only student in Union college to have had experience in trans-Atlantic radio work is Wendell W. King, a Negro student, who entered college in 1916, but spent two years in the signal corps of the army. He returned last year to finish his course in electrical engineering. He is now a junior and chief engineer of the college radio club. His hobby, as King himself admits, is wireless telegraphy, in which he has been interested in an amateur way since 1911. He was among the first to sug- gest the use of the powerful Union college radio set for sending out aerial concerts weekly, a feature which has proved highly successful. In college he is also a member of the Cosmopolitan club. JAPAN EAGER FOR WAR ON U. S. TO PREVENT REVOLT MILAN, Italy, Dec. 9.—A leading newspaper here declares it has learned that Japan is busy preparing public opinion in that country for war with the United States. It states that the Tokio government, fearing revolution, has resolved upon war with America even in face of the knowledge that it may be fatal to Japan. The entire press is urging war. The newspaper Yoredzu bluntly states: "There is no possibility of settling the California question peacefully." WOULD EQUALIZE TEACHERS' SALARIES (By the Associated Negro Press) BALTIMORE, Md., Dec. 9.-Revision of the 1921 salary schedule for the teachers in the high schools and teachers' training schools, for the purpose of equalizing the pay of white and colored teachers, was requested of the school board by the board of estimates. The request was the result of complaint from the educational section of the Women's Civic league and a delegation of "Negro citizens and taxpayers" that in arranging its salary increases the school board discriminated against the Negro teachers. DR. BENTLEY IS HOWARD LECTURER (By the Associated Negro Press) WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.—Dr. Chas. E.

Scott, Secretary-Treasurer of Howard University—Details of Game By NORMAN L. McGHEE WASHINGTON, Dec. 9. — Howard University won the colored intercollegiate football championship Thanksgiving afternoon at the American league base ball park from Lincoln University of Chester county, Pennsylvania, before twenty thousand enthusiastic football followers and friends of both schools. The final score of the game was 42 to 0 in favor of the capital city lads. The event, which is the "football classic of the year," attracted thousands of visitors from all the large cities in the country. Persons of note from all walks of life were seen from as far west as Tennessee and Illinois and as far south as Jacksonville, Fla. New York, Philadelphia and Atlantic City sent the buggest delegations. Baltimore, Norfolk, Newport News, Wilmington and Charleston coming next. Cleveland and Pittsburgh were well represented. Wednesday night the van guard of the visitors began to arrive, completely swamping the Whitelaw hotel and rooming houses. The night previous to the game the Howard alumni and the student body held a big "get together" meeting in the Rankin Memorial chapel and the Alpha Phi Alpha and other Greek letter fraternities held open house to all visiting brothers and friends. Early Thanksgiving morning the big crowd began to gather. The Lincoln eleven, who had spent the two previous days at Morgan College in Baltimore, arrived, closely followed by the famous under graduates' special of a thousand strong from Philadelphia, led by Lincoln's Old Guard, a society of graduates from that school of years back. COMMISSION OF PAGE SEVEN Hold Open House With Lincoln's eleven was Paul Robeson, former star end on the Rutgers eleven, now a student in the law schools of Columbia University, and William Mathews, assistant United States district attorney of Boston during the republican administration, and himself a football player of note from Harvard. Both men were engaged in a last minute effort on the part of the Lincoln alumni to stop Howard. Pollard, who has been coaching Lincoln for the past two years, did not put in an appearance. The game itself was one of the most brilliant social events in the history of colored football. Never before has such a crowd of women and men gathered to see any two teams play, and it might be said too much credit cannot be given Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer of Howard University, who is wholly responsible for this remarkable turnout. In days gone by this annual struggle between the two universities has been played on Howard's campus, when that school acted as host, but Dr. Scott saw clearly that the grounds there were not large enough and sought the use of the Washington American league park and after several refusals on the part of the management, he finally succeeded in winning over those in charge to his way of thinking and the park was turned over to him for the day's game. More Credit for Dr. Scott Then came the real test. Two of the biggest Washington universities wanted the park for the same afternoon and every pressure was brought to bear to get it. Dr. Scott again set (Continued on Page Seven) LIFTING. LIFT, TOO! Stupendous Reductions at Our First Anniversary Sale We are overloaded. Prices on furniture are coming down.

THE MONITOR JEWISH PEOPLE FIGHTING ANTI-SEMITIC PROPAGANDA This Group of Citizens Suffering From Campaign of Slander and Misrepresentation Appeal to Justice of American People. (By the Associated Negro Press) NEW YORK, Dec. 9.—The Jewish people of America have at last spoken in no uncertain terms against the propaganda that has been used ‘against them for a number of months by Henry Ford and others who seek, as they claim, to misrepresent their attitude before the American people. ‘The document is signed by the lead- ing Jewish people, of all activities, in every section of the country. In closing the statement the follow- ing appeal is made: “We have an abiding confidenee in the spirit of justice and fairness that permeates the true American and we are satisfied that our fellow citizens will not permit the campagn of slan- der and libel that has been launched against us to go unreproved, ‘There is enough ‘for all of us to do in the great task of building up our common country and of developing the prin- ciples on which it was founded. Let not hatred and misunderstanding arise where peace and harmony, unity and brotherliness are required to per- petuate all that America represents and to enable all men to know that within her wide boundaries there is no room for injustice and intoler- ance.” ‘This public address was prepared as a result of a conference of lead- ing Jewish organizations called by the ‘American Jewish committee to dis- cuss the widespread campaign of secret and public anti-Jewish propa- ganda in the United States. The American Jewish committee was incorporated in 1911 in New York state “to prevent the infraction of ‘the civil and religious rights of Jews in all parts of the world, to secure for Jews equality of economic, social and educational opportunity, to alleviate the consequences of persecution, and to afford relief from calamities af- fecting Jews whenever they may oc- eur.” FIRST ACQUITTAL IN HISTORY OF STATE (By the Associated Negro Press) PITTSBURGH, Pa., Dec. 9.—For the first time in the history of the state, 2 Negro was acquitted for the murder of a white man.

The game was hard fought from start to finish and even though the score was 28 to 0, and indicates a one-sided affair, the game was one of the most spectacular ever witnessed on the Talladega gridiron. Fans claim that Talladega has this year the best team in the history of the college. Both teams had well proportioned athletes, but the Booker boys by far outweighed the Talladega squad. Each team showed marked ability and confidence to win. Talladega was the favorite, yet the long, tall, heavy team from Tuskegee aroused suspicion among those who knew little about the inside football stuff which Coach Bragg had drilled into his warring aggregation. The Tuskegee boys showed good sportsmanship and at no stage of the game were they found loafing. Many fans claim it the best game they have ever seen. Many visiting friends and alumni were present. Talladega showed exceptionally good form. Her backfield showed up in super condition. Cox, who for the past four years has been the brilliant Talladega half, played his last game for the crimson and blue in a form which places him among the bright stars of the southern gridiron. The spectacular playing of Rivers and Gordon secured for them a permanent place in Talladega's hall of fame.

Norfleet HAMPTON FORFEITS HAMPTON, Va., Dec. 9.—One of the hardest fought games ever played on the Hampton Institute grounds was witnessed on Thanksgiving day, when Hampton and Union clashed in their annual game. The day was a perfect one. The biggest crowd of the season was on hand. During the first part of the game the visitors were taken off their feet by the aggressive play of Hampton. A field goal was kicked after the first few minutes of play, which was followed by a touchdown, ending the first half 9 to 0 in Hampton's favor. In the second half Union came back with a fighting spirit. During the third quarter Hampton was forced to hold Union for downs three times on the one and two-yard lines. A touchdown was finally made by Union, re- sulting from a thirty-yard forward pass, which was dropped in the field of play, rolling across the goal line, and covered by a Union man. It was declared a fumbled ball by the officials, thus giving Union a touchdown. During the last few minutes of play Union carried the ball within the five-yard-line on a forward pass. It was the play on the last down on which the referee declared a touchdown. The Hampton team refused to accept the decision. At this time the crowd surged on the field and became unmanageable. The unfortunate ending marred one of the cleanest and most thrilling games of the year. (©. 1920. The tall desk brush studious for patiently. "Well D this time?" "Beg pagetically, " interrupted.

The complainant against Marceau was Harold E.

HOWARD UNIVERSITY The tall good-looking man at the desk brushed his hair back from his studious forehead and glanced up impatiently. "Well Dan," he asked, "what is it this time?" "Beg pardon sir," Dan said apologetically. "I know you asked not to be interrupted Mr. Hammond, but this young lady—" "Young lady!" the man at the desk exclaimed, his tone expressed exasperation. "I asked to be guarded from young ladies, especially." "I know Mr. Hammond." Dan hastened to say, "and I have guarded you well, but it's your fame, I reckon, Mr. Hammond, that has got here before you, am' you bein' a bach, and all." "Dan," cried the master of the house fiercely, "will you stop talking and leave me; I was at a most interesting point in my work." "But this lady," Dan went on unmoved, "is different from the rest of 'em, she says she's got to see you if only for a minute, an' she's the one who moved into the little house next door." Clark Hammond laughed with one of his sudden changes of humor. "The spinster person," he said. "I recollect now that Louisa told me a spinster had taken the house. Show her in Dan, and let's get it over quickly." The old serving man grinned as he shuffled out of the room while the "spinister person" entered in a sort of soft little rush and sat down in a big study chair. Professor Clark Hammond stared for a moment unblinking, the intruder was so different from what she expected. She held a huge basket upon her knees as she waited, almost trepidantly. The "spinister person" from next door had more the appearance of a small boy who had been caught robbing one's orchard, which was nearer the truth than the professor knew. She was, in fact, petite Nan Norris, lately of the city. "Won't you," the professor asked pleasantly, "allow me to relieve you of that great basket." The young woman looked more startled than ever; then as the rose color flooded her cheeks she spoke quickly. "You are going to be dreadfully angry with me Professor Hammond," she said, "and I owe you an apology. You see, I did not know that it was your tree and I stripped it completely." "I am afraid," the man said puzzled, "that I do not understand." "It was," she answered steadily, "your prized pear tree that I robbed, the one with which you have been making experiments. I thought it was on our line, we have recently rented the house next door and I went out one evening with some of the school boys to help me, and we picked all your pears." A light of pleasant reminiscence came to the blue eyes. "It was a glorious moonlight night," the girl added, "and the pears were small and sweet as sugar—" "When old Mrs. Ryan told me next day—Mrs. Ryan is the woman who is going to live with me here—that the pear tree was on your property, I—I had given away most of the pears, sent them to the city I came from, to people there who do not often have pears or nice things to eat, and the rest I canned." Clark Hammond leaned back in his chair watching the various emotions flit across the girl's sweet face. His own first emotion of chagrin and disappointment gave way suddenly to sympathetic amusement. "And now," he asked whimsically, "what are you going to do about it?" "I cannot offer to pay for all those pears yet," the young woman answered as she removed the wrappings while the professor leaned forward incredulously to inspect the contents of neatly labeled lars. "These are the spiced pears," the girl explained. "I hope—that you will accept them." She regarded her offering ruefully. "They are the very first that I ever did up in my life, and they turned out splendidly." Her eyes were pleading. "Won't you?" she begged, "just as a sort of peace offering?" There was something strangely disconcerting in that blue-eyed repentant gaze; it was Clark Hammond's turn to flush, and he emerged from the procedure pleasantly perturbed. "I'll tell you what," he agreed boyishly. "just bring some pears over whenever I happen to feel that I'd like them. Dan will let you know." The girl laughed. "I am proud of my own experiment," she said, then asked besitatingly, "But what of yours?" "A small matter," he generously assured her. And one late fall evening Nan, entering the professor's dining room with her dish of pears, found there places laid for two. "I hope," Clark Hammond said with new diffidence, "that you will stay to spare me another lonely meal. I have always wondered," he went on, as she slipped into the opposite chair, "how it would seem to have you there, my wife—and this the home I have dreamed of. Nan, will you stay and make my dream come true?" The girl smiled as he came toward her, but after a while she raised a tremulous laughing face. "Home," agreed Nan, "beneath our own vine—and pear tree." The gift with the personal touch personal raph Your Photograph IDEAL EFFECTIVE INEXPENSIVE Make the appointment to-day.

THE ASSOCIATED MAGRO PRESS FIRST IN SERVICE SMACKS OF HYPOCRISY LAST week a young woman of careless life was shot by her paramour in a downtown cabaret alleged to be frequented largely by the sporting element of both races. We say largely by the sporting class, because it is this element who regularly frequent cabarets. These habitues may belong to the wealthy classes who spend their money freely for what they consider a good time or by their imitators who have less money at their command. The jilted youth, committed suicide. This tragedy at the Monarch Gardens, which has been operated for several months under license from the Board of Public Welfare, brought the place into the public eye and immediately there arose a clamor for the closing of this "notorious resort." The real motive back of this clamor seems to be the fact that it is conducted by colored men and frequented by both whites and blacks who belong to the social strata which take delight in frequenting places of this character. Under the laws of Nebraska public places are conducted for the public. The public includes all citizens whatever their creed or color may be. This is a fact which by practice many are striving to ignore. If, therefore, white people and black people voluntarily patronize any public places which admit them they are within their rights. They do not go there under duress, but by their own free will. Now, if the Monarch Gardens are or have been improperly conducted or run in violation of the law, they and all like places which violate the law should be closed. But the fact that a tragedy occurred there is no more reason for arbitrarily closing it than there was for closing the Madison Square Gardens when Harry Thaw shot Stanford White over Evelyn Nesbit. The moral spasm into which certain would-be reformers have been thrown by the tragedy which happened in a place which has been conducted for several months under their sanction and license smacks of hypocrisy. The Monitor thinks that every city would be better off without cabarets and similar places which cater only to the frivolous and unrestrained side of life, but all people are not cast in the same groove. Each, therefore, to his own. THE COMMISSION FORM AGAIN THE commission form of government as operated in Omaha is more expensive than the old aldermanic system and less efficient. It is human nature to shift responsibility wherever and whenever it can be done. To this the commission form lends itself most admirably, while the public awaits results. Not only is the evasion of responsibility a defect of the system, but there is another unsound principle of government involved. The commissioners are not elected to discharge any specific duties, but after election they themselves choose what duties they shall discharge. It is not a sound policy in the administration either of business or government that employees or servants shall determine what they will or will not do. The theory of the commission form of government is the division and distribution of responsibility, but in practice it virtually destroys responsibility. Then, again, it weakens the executive function of the city government, depriving the mayor of control of the police power. It is a fundamental principle of government that the executive thereof should have control of the police power to enforce the law and preserve order. The Monitor urges a return to the councilmanic system. Back to normalcy. Back to efficiency. PRESIDENT'S SWAN SONG PRESIDENT Wilson has delivered his last message to congress. It may well be called his swan song. It is cast in a minor chord and breathes a lofty faith in the final triumph of the principles for which he has unfalteringly stood. His interpretation of speak so glowingly has never beer conceived in his one track mind to include our group. This we believe to be in his case an unfortunate and regrettable mental and temperamental limitation. His practice as touching our group has been so at variance with the lofty sentiments which he so eloquently expressed that many of our people have considered him purely hypocritical. The Monitor has never held this view. We regretted his attitude but attributed it to mental bias THE WILEY JAP JAPAN, alert and shrewd, has again forced the "race equality" question to the attention of the powers in conference. She has said she will not press it at this time, but will wait a more opportune moment. There is undoubtedly method in Japan's practice of patience. She will ultimately get all she rightfully demands. The brain weight of the Japanese is larger than that of European or American diplomats. SNYCOPATED SPASMS THE more and more we hoof it up and down these here streets and highways of Omaha trying to find a vacant shack, the more we are convinced that the guy who doesn't own his own home is worse off than a shriveled prune. The situation is simply terrible! It has our angora tied, staked and circumscribed. We remember those days in ancient times when a landlord wore a smile and slipped you the glad grab when he saw you looking at one of his chunks of real estate, but never no more. Now he scowls at you as if he thinks you are a grave digger. You have to get down on your tender knees and implore him with tears of anguish in order to get a hearing. If he deigns to rent you a shaky habitation, he lets you ease in on a price that is about five times as much as the domicile is worth. Then, just as you get settled and finish making contracts with the furniture man, the grocery man, the butcher man and the coal man, in he blows and raises you 50 per cent. You holler like a stuck hog and he simply laughs. But your hollering does no good. He has you gagged, bound and otherwise rendered harmless. You can't tear up the property, because it isn't worth tearing up, anyway. You either have to come across or stage the tragedy all over again. We murmur again, it is simply terrible! We've been cussing a blue streak until we are sick, but it doesn't help us any. It only reinforces our opinion that a man should own his own wickiup.

A soldier blows along, lays down a few pounds and says he will buy. He gets into the house and then tells ye landlord that he has changed his mind and thinks he will rent. Then it is the landlord's chance to belly-ache and he bellyaches some. And the law laughs at him, as it were. WHAT THE EDITORS SAY OUR SENTIMENTS. TOO We are in hearty sympathy with the appeal of the National Equal Rights league to Oswald Garrison Villard of New York and Miss Jane Addams of Chicago, members of the committee of one hundred, which is at Washington, D. C., hearing evidence on the troubles in Ireland. The appeal asks that the committee shall continue on after it has completed its investigations on Ireland and then hear evidence on the proscription, persecutions and killings of Afro-Americans, which are claimed to constitute a reign of terror in the South of like sort with that in Ireland. If Englishmen were more like Americans, they would tell this country, in tones that would reach around the world, to first clean their own doorsills before meddling in the affairs of other countries. —Cleveland Gazette. IMMIGRATION AND NEGRO LABOR The great tide of immigration now setting in from Europe, and the southern influx along the Mexican border, with their bearing upon Negro labor in both sections, are receiving careful attention from Negro leaders. The result of their cogitations, as expressed in the colored press, is full of encouragement to all who wish the Negro well. There is a marked absence of complaint of self-pity in considering this new competition. Negro labor is merely warned that increased efficiency in production, and greater thrift are necessary if advantages gained are to be held, North or South. There is no way, the leaders urge, for any worker to permanently profit by temporary circumstances except by raising his own standards of faithfulness and efficiency. "Employment." the workers are told, "is economic, not sentimental. However sympathetic employers may be, efficiency is the watchword. If employees do not measure up, there is but one thing to do—make a change." If colored laborers—or any others—will follow this advice, prosperity is ahead of them and for their employers alike—Tampa Bulletin. Robert Lowe, a Negro youth charged with criminal assault and twice rescued from an angry mob, has been acquitted by the Texas jury which sat on his case. This shows better than words the inherent viciousness of lynching. It is the most elemental principle of justice that every man is entitled to a fair trial. And a fair trial at the hands of an infuriated mob is impossible. Young Lowe has made a fortunate escape. But more important than the saving from violent death of an innocent person is the hope that the lesson which this incident contains will not be lost, that it may be the means of preventing many lynchings in the future.—New York Sun.

This is a slogan that was recently adopted by the Omaha traffic safety committee. The use of this slogan is a part of the campaign of the safety traffic committee in its efforts to reduce reckless driving and to teach the public that reckless driving at any speed is against the law. Under the provisions of the Omaha ordinances, auto trucks of three or more tons carrying capacity are limited to a speed of not to exceed eight miles an hour. Drivers of automobiles are law violators if they cross intersections, or pass school houses at a speed of more than twelve miles an hour. In the congested districts of the city driving at a speed greater than fifteen miles an hour is a violation of law. On boulevards, highways and outlying streets of the city a speed of twen ty miles may be attained and main trained without a violation of law. TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMITTEE. Omaha Chamber of Commerce. EX-DEPUTY SHERIFF SHOT LEADING MOB (By the Associated Negro Press) GOLDSBORO, N. C., Dec. 9.—One man, H. Futrell, former deputy sheriff of Wayne county, was shot last week during an attack on a special guard of twelve citizens barricaded in the Wayne county court house when a mob of citizens fired upon the jail in an attempt to seize and lynch five Negroes held on charge of murdering a white man. The firing lasted only a few minutes. Barricaded behind felt mattresses, the small force in the court house returned the fire, and Futrell, said to have been the leader of the mob, was killed. The mob scattered, but further trouble was expected and a company of state troops was sent here from Durham. ROSE BEAUTY CREAM That Peroxide Greaseless Cream.

By JOHN WESLEY CROMWELL, President American Negro Academy WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.—Major Charles R. Douglass, the surviving son of the family of Frederick Douglass, who died here Tuesday night, November 24, in the seventy-seventh year of his age, was buried from the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian church. Mr. Douglass was born in Lynn, Mass., in the spring of 1844, when the anti-slavery agitation was at its height, and his father, Frederick Douglass, was easily the most conspicuous figure at struggle. Under the stress of the justling life of that period young Douglass grew up. All of the foremost men and women of that time he knew—William Lloyd Garrison, Wendell Phillips, Martin R. Delaney, Samuel Ringgold Ward, Charles Lenox Remond, Alexander Crummell, James McCune Smith, Henry Highland Garnet, Gerrit Smith, John Brown, for they were all visitors at his father's house. It was a thrilling experience, a severe training, a most exacting discipline under the master of the Douglass home that he received and under which he grew up to man's estate, to bare his breast to shot and shell when Abraham Lincoln called for the colored volunteer in the early sixties, when the Fifty-fourth and Fifty-fifth were mustered in the service of Uncle Sam on the soil of Massachusetts. When the civil war was over and he was a battle-worn hero, he settled here in Washington, where he had lived ever since, the father of Joseph H. Douglass, the violinist, and Haley Douglass, the teacher in the Dunbar high school. Mr. Douglass in the early seventies was a member of the school board, later a clerk in the pension office until he retired only a few months ago. During all these years he was a citizen highly esteemed. A tall, commanding figure, with profile and hair strongly recalling the distinguishing features of his illustrious father—these characteristics made him a figure, once seen, to be ever afterwards remembered.

A political club is being organized at Community Center for the young women of our group and much interest is being taken in the studies in government. THE ROUND TABLE I again take my seat at the table and wish to enjoy a pen-chat with my brother scribes and continue our studies on the subject of Masonry among the Negroes of the United States. Being under obligations to Bro. Harry Williamson of New York Grand Lodge (Prince Hall) from whose writings we have quoted so freely, we therefore continue to use his data so logically presented. "The writer ventures to make the statement that Bro. Upton and the colored Masonic authorities previously mentioned have answered to complete satisfaction all the foregoing objections, and in connection with objection 6, relates some very interesting and important history concerning his own Grand Lodge." Previously mention has been made that Prince Hall Grand Lodge established four lodges in New York City. In 1845 these lodges withdrew from the jurisdiction of Massachusetts and formed the "Boyer Grand Lodge of New York." About 1848, dissension arose relative to the formation of a National Grand Lodge and those who favored the proposition withdrew from the "Boyer" organization and formed an independent Grand Lodge under the jurisdiction of the National Grand Lodge of North America. In the fall of 1848 the members of the original Grand Lodge (Boyer) reorganized under the title of the "United Grand Lodge of New York," which body continued in active operation until 1877, when the dissenters withdrew from the national body, begged forgiveness and were receivied back into the original fold with open arms and great rejoicing, upon practically the same grounds as those given at the reunion of the rival white Grand Lodges of New York, some sixty-ode years and more ago. As previously stated, Negro Masonry or Freemasonry among Negroes has been the source of considerable urpleasantness among the white Grand Lodges of America. Some fifteen or more years ago when the Grand Lodge of the state of Washington declared it to be the sense of that body that men who had been initiated into Negro lodges were regularly made Masons, all the other white Grand Lodges raised a great protest, and many of them immediately severed their fraternal relations with the said state. It therefore devolved upon that jurisdiction to give satisfactory reasons for having the courage to assume a true and brotherly attitude toward the black brethren. Consequently Bro. Uptoa and two others were appointed a committee for that purpose. This brother with his associates, ably and to the confusion of Washington's critics successfully answered every objection offered; and to this day, after the lapse of years, the answers of the Grand Lodge of Washington remain uncontrovertible and unshaken. After a number of years the dissenting Grand Lodges came creeping back one by one, each craving for a resumption of the friendly intercourse so hastily severed. For about forty-odd years the white Grand Lodge of New Jersey has had upon its roster a lodge which at one time consisted of white and colored members. I regret that my limited time at this writing will not permit my going further into this, to us, very interesting line of research. However, we will resume at a later date. So we say, "until we meet again." THE SCRIBE. DIAMONDS SET IN TEETH INDICTED Mrs. Mabel King Hickman of San Francisco wears diamond fillings in her teeth, just because each diamond is symbolical of a husband's love. One diamond was given her by her first husband, William King, who, on his deathbed requested that she keep the gem always with her. So she had it set in a tooth. Her second husband, Augustine Hickman, supplied another sparkler, a perfect match for the first, and these two help to make Mrs. Hickman's smile quite iridescent.

DEATHS SHOW SLUMP IN 1919 Rate for 81 Per Cent of Population Is Lowest in Any One Year, Says Census Bureau. Washington.—The 1919 death rate in the death registration area of continental United States, embracing 81 per cent of the total population, was shown in statistics made public by the census bureau, to be the lowest recorded for any one year. The rate of 12.9 per 1,000 of population showed a drop of 5.1 per 1,000 from the unusually high rate of 1918 resulting from the epidemic of influenza. The total number of deaths in 1919 was 1,096,436, of which 111,579, or 10.2 per cent, were caused by heart disease, while tuberculosis resulted in 106,985, or 9.8 per cent, the statistics showed. Deaths attributed to pneumonia totaled 105,218, influenza, 84,113, nephritis and Bright's disease, 75,005, and cancer and other malignant tumors, 68,551. Three states, Delaware, Florida and Mississippi, were added to the registration area in 1919, making a total of 33 states, the District of Columbia, and 18 registration cities in nonregistration states in the area. ARMED GIRL ROUTS HAZERS Rescues Escort Who Shot Sophomore in Free for All Fight Among Students. Chicago.—Antagonism between sophomore and freshman classes of the Waukegan high school developed into a gun battle and free for all fight in which one student was shot and another beaten into insensibility. The students involved were from some of the most prominent families. The row started when three boys and two girls drove up to attend a party. They were seized by five hazers. Carl Ambrose, a boy escorting the girls, drew a revolver and shot Theodore Liex, sophomore. Neil Dickson, an upper classman, tore the gun from Ambrose. The masked youths beat Ambrose into insensibility. Two of the girls then took a hand. One obtained the gun and fired two shots. The masked boys ran, leaving their wounded companion.

WOMEN OF EGYPT ARE ACTIVE Interest in Affairs Outside of Home Draws Comment From High Commissioner. London.—Egyptian women are at last beginning to take an interest in public affairs, particularly in the schools. Viscount Milner in his report as high commissioner of Egypt, says that no change in that country in the last few years is more striking than the awakening interest of women in affairs outside of the home. The commissioner added that a few years ago it was rare to find a mother showing a direct personal interest in the welfare of her daughter at school. All this was left to the father, who often had to overcome the mother's opposition to the education of her daughter. "During the last few . ```markdown ``` SKA, DE THE REVIEW" 225 So conditions have changed in the larger towns where mothers now visit the schools and discuss their daughter's progress with the head teacher," said the report. This change is attributed by the high commissioner largely to education, and he predicts that its influence will be potent on the future progress of educational development in Egypt. RUSS TOTS SMASH WINDOWS United in Drastic Protest Against Be- ing .Barred From Their Own Country. Berlin.—Only 125 of the 781 Rus- sian children brought from Vladivostok by the American Red Cross and landed at a Finnish port have been permitted to enter Russia, according to Col. E. W. Ryan, director of the Red Cross work in the Baltic states, who passed through Berlin en route to Paris. The children are being held in Finland until proper papers are presented, showing that parents or other responsible relatives will receive them. Some of the little Russians, he said, had smashed windows and furniture in a sanitarium near Helsingfors, where they are being quartered. Their action was in protest against being denied the privilege of entering Russia at once. FIND LOST FRENCH TREASURE Money Believed to Have Been Cargo of Sunken Ship Taken—Man Nabbed. Marseilles, France. — When the steamer Afrique of the Chargeurs Reunis line sank in the Bay of Biscay last January with frightful loss of life. It carried 15,000,000 francs in new bills for the Banque Francais Afrique Occidentale at Dakar. Seven hundred thousand francs, which police have identified as belonging to the Afrique shipment, were however, seized Sunday when Jules Carassy, an automobile dealer, was arrested in this city. Carassy was about to board a train for Paris when police officers invited him to accompany them to the station. In a suitcase he carried were 700,000 francs in new bills, the numbers of which were consecutive and tallied Dandruff Is A Warning if you are bothered with dandruff and itching scalp it ought to be a warning to you.

A Trade in Babies Indianapolis, Ind.—Mrs. Ella York of Detroit lost her baby, but holds a strange one as the result of a swap made in the local station. Mrs. York, en route to Palatine, Ill., to visit her parents, left her one month old baby on the seat while she used the telephone. Coming out of the booth, a strange woman handed her a baby and left. It was not her baby, and when she hurried to her seat her own infant was gone. "Miss Jones in the House?"

FINDER KEEPS $1,300 GOLD Judge Settles Dispute Over Ownership of Treasure Found Buried on Farm. Newcastle, Ind.—Ownership of $1,300 in gold found buried on a farm near Greensboro six months ago by Levi Todd, a fifteen-year-old boy, was settled in court here. Judge Gause decided "finders are keepers." While excavating for a basement under an old house, young Todd drove his pick into an earthware jar containing the money. Then started a three-cornered fight for ownership. Mrs. Clara Freeman Vickerey claimed the money was part of her mother's estate, and John Hardlin, present owner of the farm, sought an interest as owner of the land.

LOUIS, Mo., Dec. 9.—In the midst of the profusion of beautiful flowers, folk-lore, music and fitting decorations, the new annex to Poro college was joined to the mother plant last week. The dedicatory exercises occupied the final four days of Thanksgiving week and were attended and participated in by the flower of racial endeavor and accomplishment from all over the country. The event brought so many of the outstanding members of the race to St. Louis that Prof. Aaron E. Malone, president, and Mrs. Annie M. Malone founder of Poro college, anticipated it as a signal for the arrangement of various conferences looking up to the welfare and advancement of colored people. Five Acres Floor Space Admiring visitors inspected the different departments of the institution and were greatly impressed by the magnitude of the undertaking, the almost flawless system of administration and the abiding evidence of its success. It is truly a unique organization, with its compact combination of industrial, commercial, educational philanthropic and religious features and probably has no counterpart in all the world. With the added 20,000 square feet in the newly completed annex, floor space in the Poro establishment aggregates five acres, every inch of which is devoted to teaching some useful lessons to the youth of the race. The spectacle of 230 young women and young men engaged in the manufacture, shipping and clerical addenda of Poro products; the array of hundreds of girls uniformly intent upon acquiring the culture to fit them for useful occupation; the gentle Christian atmosphere that starts with the chapel assembly in the morning and pervades the discipline of the entire day, suggesting an iron hand in a velvet glove; the elegant simplicity Seven-Ounce Hen Pet of Pacific Coast Boy Oregon City. — Eugene Kitzmiller, aged seven, son of Mr. and Mrs. E. P. Kitzmiller of this city, is probably the owner of the smallest hen for her age in the state of Oregon. She is of a black-breasted red game breed, weighing seven ounces. She is six months and seven days old and struts around the yard with the big Rhode Island reds as if she owned the entire poultry yard. She Died Upon a Kiss. Cincinnati, O.—Pollice believe the story of Robert Gibb, aged 22, former soldier, who said his revolver was accidentally discharged while he was kissing his sweetheart. Miss Clara Stuminski, good night. Gibb carried the revolver to protect himself from attack when returning from the girl's home. She hid it for him when they went to a picture show, and had handed it to him just before it was discharged. HEY THERE! HEY THERE!

Rapid evolution of the Poro enterprise necessitated the erection less than two years ago, of a building that cost $350,000. As soon as the plant was installed it was discovered that even with the most careful economy of space the new building did not meet the demands of the business, and one of the first plans set to work in its new home was to project additional floor acreage. This was accomplished two weeks ago, when the annex, was completed at a cost of $150,000, bringing the building investments of Poro college during the last two years up to $500,000, absolute bookkeeper's figures. The annex adjoins the mother plant and, like the first, is built of the finest and most secure of fireproof materials and is connected with sundry tunnels and bridges, the arteries of the economic system. Every improvement in equipment that is available has been installed; mechanical carriers that bring the Poro products from the laboratories to the shipping tables; labor-saving office appliances; cleanly young women diligently operating in scrupulously clean factories, flooded with light from hundreds of windows—that is the new home of Poro college. The new annex is equipped with a laundry with all of the latest improved machinery, a bakery that has a capacity not only for the demands of the institution, but it's a boon to the neighborhood; a refrigerating plant and other useful and advanced features. Not a Matter of Flavor. One who evidently speaks from experience says a girl's surprise in getting her first kiss is to find that there is no taste to it. Taste, indeed! The palate is properly numb at such an impact. A kiss isn't a matter of flavor. If it were, the Lord knows there are onions enough. Where there are thrill, tickle, throb, ritillation and tremors, who in the mischief can think of taste?—Louisville Lyre. HOWARD WINS INTER- COLLEGIATE CHAMPIONSHIP (Continued From First Page.) to work to carry out his original plans. He won. The two universities made their final effort. They asked for the park and for a morning game, but finally decided to play elsewhere. Howard First on Field Howard First on Field The Howard eleven was first on the field, arriving at 1:30, followed by their band and one thousand singing and cheering students. Lincoln trotted out twelve minutes later. The Lincoln followers paraded the field headed by their band, which stopped in front of Z.Z.Z.Z. Z.Z.Z.Z. Z.Z.Z.Z. Cost $500,000 the Lincoln cheering station, where, with bared heads, they sang Lincoln's "Alma Mater." The Howard squad was presented with a huge floral H, a gift of the student body, by President J. Stanley Durkee, who urged the boys to go into the game bent on winning, but cautioned them to be gentlemen as well as clean fighters. The Howard section rose in a body and sang "O, Howard, We Sing to Thee." Captain Lawrence of Howard won the toss and chose to defend the south goal, with the wind at his back. Lincoln Recovers Fumble Lincoln Recovers Fumble Lincoln kicked off and in the attempt to run it back Howard fumbled when tackled. In the scramble Lincoln recovered the ball. The visitors' cheering section went wild. Lincoln found Howard's line strong, for in four rushes they failed to make the necessary yards and the ball went over. Howard punted and Lincoln worked the ball by a series of end runs to Howard's territory. Lincoln tried an on side kick when the blue and white line held and Howard fell on the ball. Howard worked the ball into Lincoln's territory only to lose it on downs. Howard First to Score Lincoln tried the Howard line and on the third try Williams broke through, recovered a fumble and ran twenty yards for a touchdown. Lincoln came back strong and made a desperate effort to hold their rivals. In the second quarter, after Coach Morrison had sent in six substitutes, Lincoln worked their way down to the Howard five-yard line, when the whistle blew. Between the halves motion pictures were taken of the crowd, who used this valuable time to renew social acquaintances with friends from other cities whom they had not seen in years. Williams Runs Eighty Yards Lincoln kicked off to Williams on Howard's twenty-yard line and the slippery fellow ran through the entire blue and gold eleven, eighty yards down the side line for a touchdown. This took the spirit out of the visitors, who fought then, not to win the game, but to keep down the size of the score. Downing, Payne, Carter and the Howard backfield pulled off sensational end runs, coupled with terrific line plunges, mixed with an aerial attack that swept the Lincoln eleven off their feet. Howard was penalized for rough play in the final quarter, but on the first play a forward pass by Lincoln fell into Downing's hands and another march for the goal was started. Lincoln fought bravely on, despite being outplayed in every department of the game. Howard Has Wonderful Team Howard Has Wonderful Team Coach Morrison's men showed not only good judgment in the second half, but a clean-cut knowledge of America's finest college sport. The game will go down in history as having been one of the best played games in the history of Howard. The visitors were modest. When Morrison was asked if he had anything to say he simply answered, "We played the best we knew how." Morrison comes from Everett, where he played on the Everett high school eleven, and from Tufts College, Medford, Mass., where he played three years on the varsity squad. He was ably assisted by Penderhuges of last year's bile and white eleven. The summary: Howard. Positions. Lincoln. Williams. L.E. J. Wilson Fuller. L.T. Coston Smith. L.G. Wood Lawrence. C.

Dodd & Allen 2014 No. 24th St. Webster 5036—5406 McGILL & DAVIS Long before Joe's fishing boat came within sight of shore he watched for the distant speck of light from the window, and as he neared land the speck of light grew and shone with his own delight in coming. Home coming was a never failing delight to Joe. He loved to warm his heart at the thought of the picture there, big blonde Elizabeth, the elder sister, briskly busy about the shining cook-stove, preparing for his evening meal the things he liked best—and Star, the small wrait of a sister, curled up in the couch corner, where she could easily part the curtains and peer out over the dark waters. For Star watched for Joe's white fishing boat as eagerly as his eyes searched out the light from the window. Lisbeth was a born grumbler, and perhaps sometimes the work did fall too heavily on her broad shoulders, for though Star might be wistful and willing, her strength was insufficient for many tasks. The cozy cottage on the shore had been handed down from grandparents to the three children. And now all their plans to beautify the cottage was made in the hope of pleasing Star—the prettiest clothes were hers, and it was Elizabeth who still grumbling arranged for her many pleasures. And Star was radiantly grateful; her love for the big bronzed brother and the sister whose own life had known but the happiness of service, was beyond expression. As for Joe, the mere thought of her there in the lamplit corner—brought a strange lump in his throat, in an emotion which dimmed his clear eyes as he steered toward the light. It was Elizabeth, who held open (be door for him, her rosy cheeks and white apron always a pleasant part of his welcome home picture. But it was to little Star that he turned breathlessly, as she slipped from her conch to stand laughing softly and holding out eager hands "I watched you," said Star, "since I first saw you far against the sky, and could not tell whether you were wave or really boat." "And while you watched," grumbled Llsbeth. I rolled cookies and biscuits 'till my arms ached, and they will burn in the oven this minute unless they are attended to. Star, you might at least take the pans from the oven while I talk to Joe." "I will take them." Joe offered quickly, and was off to the kitchen. That evening, when the girl had bidden them good night, lingering, her shining eyes caressing them both from the doorway. Elizabeth turned abruptly to her brother. "Joe," she said. "I have something to tell you. Something that I only learned today. I was hunting in the old Bible for my birth date; thought I'd made a mistake of a year, and looked it up. And there, folded in the birth and death place was an old letter. Seemed queer as I looked that Star's birth had never been registered with ours—but the letter explained that Mother had written it before she died, and left it there for safe keeping. Thought perhaps I'd find it when I went to write the date of her death. But I didn't think to do it, Joe. I will give you mother's letter in a minute, but this is what it said: Star isn't our sister at all; she never has—belonged. One night when we were away at school a boat came drifting along without any folks, or any oars, and in it all wrapped and quiet, lay a baby. First, mother thought the tiny white face was a reflection of one big star that seemed somehow to keep shining down on the boat. But when she found what it was, mother sent father out to bring in the boat, and the baby's eyes stared up at her she said, steady and shiny like the star. And so she named her. No one ever came to claim the baby, and though father tried to learn at the time, there was no word of accident or loss. That's all, Joe; but I've given my young life, it seems, to the care of a child not kith or kin. And I have kept from marrying Jed Warren because of what I considered my duty." Llisbeth paused. "I shall marry him now," she said determinedly. Joe made no reply. When at last his sister went sulkily to bed, he read the letter slowly through. Then with face aglow, big Joe jumped to his feet. "Star," he called softly. "Oh, my little Star." There was no answer. Vaguely troubled, Joe went out to the sands standing where the water, stretched silvering before him in the moonlight. Not far from there he saw a drifting boat, Star's own little boat, with the blue Star at its side that he had painted. The girl sat in the stern, a dejected figure, he could see her dark hair rippling over her shoulders as it used to do when years ago she came at bedtime for his good-night kiss. Joe strode out into the water. When he reached the boat's side the water was still beneath his strong arm. Star turned to him calmly. "I heard it all," she said, "and I am going to drift out of your lives as I drifted in. Some place I shall find—harbor." Big Joe nato her in his arms. "Your harbor is here, dear love," he said. "Don't you know that we have always belonged—to each other?" "Always?" breathed Star; the word was a question. Then her arms went about his neck. "Always," she answered her softly. Star By BESSIE HARRIS An unusual novelty will be placed on the market soon in the form of a paper umbrella, the New York Sun states. It is said that this newfangled rain shelter will be a very satisfactory substitute for the traditional alpaca or silk. It will retail for 50 cents, thereby cutting the cost of umbrellas down to a sum that should be considered distinctly nominal these days of the $8 and $10 variety. The color of the new umbrella will be black and the paper of a composition absolutely waterproof and crackless. It will have a steel frame, wooden knob handle and a ring at the lower end of the "stick." Those in charge of the manufacture of the novelty say it will be durable and that it will roll as small as a silk one.
