HUBEARD, NEGRO STAR, MAKES A RECORD LIFTING :: :: :: :: LIFT TOO PICKENS PRESENTS PERTINENT POINTS TO BIG AUDIENCE Field Secretary of National Advancement Association Brings Inspiring Message of Work Done ITS VALUABLE CONTRIBUTION Teaching Race Importance of Cooperative Defense and Raising Level of American Civilization. A large and appreciative audience assembled in St. John's A. M. E. church Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock and heard an inspiring message from William Pickens of New York, field secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The meeting was held under the auspices of the Omaha branch of the N. A. A. C. P. Its object was to arouse interest in the great work the national association is accomplishing for justice to the Negro race in the United States. Mr. Picken's eloquent and forcible presentation of some of the major accomplishments of the association was such as to convince the most skeptical of the necessity for enthusiastic and whole-hearted support of the organization. Mr. Pickens said in part: "I am inclined to think that the present name of our organization should be changed. It should be called the Association for the Advancement of American Civilization, for that is its real purpose. In our battle for justice for the Negro, who happens to be at the present time the man who is lowest down, we are fighting for justice for all men who reside within the territorial limits of this land and in so doing we are raising the level of American civilization. This is the philosophy underlying all our work, and this is the principle I desire you to keep in mind, while I recite only a few of the accomplishments of the N. A. A. C. P. which prove this contention." The speaker then showed with irresistible logic that in fighting lynching Negroes are not alone concerned, but it is a fight to banish mob-murder from America, maintain the supremacy of regularly constituted courts of justice and so protect every man. Passing to a review of the long and successful legal fight to save the so-called "Elaine rioters", or the farmers of Phillip's county, Ark., who in the most lawful manner possible simply sought to save themselves from robbery and were fired upon while holding a meeting in a church, and for defending themselves were charged with murder. Mr. Pickens showed how this had established the principle that a mob-dominated court deprives one of the constitutional right of an impartial trial by "due process of law." "Iff," said Mr. Pickens, "the N. A. A. C. P. in all the years of its existence had done nothing more than win the fight it waged for nearly six years and saved the lives of those men, that accomplishment alone is sufficient to justify its existence and enlist the hearty support of every right-thinking American, white or black, and especially of every Negro. None should hesitate to give his money to carry on its work. It took over $15,000 to win the battle and save the lives of these black men. It takes money to carry on the work of the association and while generous white people, believers in justice, contribute to the cause, the bulk of the support must come, and rightly so, from the colored people themselves." Mr. Pickens, citing this concrete illustration of co-operative defense, maintained that the greatest contribution of the N. A. A. C. P. to our race in America has been its demonstration of the power of and the necessity for co-operative defense in winning justice not only for the Negro, but for all men and so contributing to the advancement of American civilization and real democracy. This is the great lesson that the race needs to be taught. Many other achievements of the N. A. A. C. P. were hastily reviewed by the speaker, chief among which are the fight against residential segregation still going on; Jim Crowism in various forms and for full educational privileges. The fight for admission into the public schools is a pioneer fight not only for the Negro but for all American citizens. If the man lowest down wins his right to an education that settles it for all. Preceding the address, "America" was sung by the audience, led by a chorus and the Chapel orchestra, un- THE MONITOR WM. PICKENS WELCOMED BY LARGE AUDIENCE Leading Pastors of City Unite in Urgin People to Hear Outstanding Leader of Our Race Fremont, Neb., June 18—(Special to The Monitor)—A large audience greeted William Pickens, field secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., who spoke here Tuesday night before a large and appreciative audience in the First Methodist Episcopal church of which the Rev. Dr. Baker is pastor. The meeting had been arranged for by the Rev. John Adams of Omaha who supplies the pulpit of the colored Methodist church here every other Sunday. The Fremont Ministers' Alliance had voted to do everything in their power to make the meeting a success and carried in their church bulletins publicity matter advertising Mr. Pickens as an outstanding leader of the Negro race with an extraordinary message. Mr. Pickens measured up to the standard set. The Fremont Chamber of Commerce, by resolution, voted the use of their parlors and dining room for a reception to Mr. Pickens after the address. A chorus of twenty-five voices had been organized by the Negro citizens and sang folk songs most pleasingly. Mr. Thomas Watts, the oldest Negro citizen of Fremont and founder of the Negro church of this city, introduced the meeting with divine invocation. Mrs. Hattie Gardenhier Brown captured the audience by the rendition of three songs. Mrs. Brown is an exceptional contralto singer. Mr. Pickens spoke for an hour and ten minutes on race relationship emphasizing the fact that the Negro was maligned and misunderstood because of available methods of the white race to understand his problems by reading Negro books. He paid his respects to the white press in commercializing scandalous articles in reference to the Negro and refusing to publish outstanding facts of Negro achievement and accomplishment along the lines of industry, economic and moral accomplishments. At the close of the meeting the white congregation appreciated the effort of the evening by giving a large free will offering. RESERVES FUNERAL PEWS FOR NEGRO MOURNERS Little Rock, Ark., June 18.—(Columbian Press Bureau)—Leaving instructions for the conducting of her funeral services, Mrs. Margaret T Rose, who recently died in this city had provided that: "Pews on one side of the pulpit are to be reserved for the Negroes who have done much for me; have waited on me and kept me from drudgery all of my life; and I have never received one act of unkindness from any of them." TWO NEW BOOKS ON VITAL RACE QUESTIONS Washington, D. C., June 18.—(Columbian Press Bureau)—Two new books on the so-called racial problem have made their appearance. "The Basis of Racial Arjumtment", by Dr. Thomas J. Woftofer (white) of Georgia, sets forth his opinion of how the different races of mankind are to dwell together in peace and harmony; while "The Menace of Color" by Dr. J. W. Gregory (white) deals with the same topic in a very detailed way, and attempts to prove that "the color classification is of more value in political guidance than that based on the skull or hair." The first-named book is published by Ginn & Company, of New York; while Dr. Gregory selected the J. B. Lippincott Company, of Philadelphia, as his salesman-in-chief. We have 90 retail dealers in curios, antiques and novelties. der the direction of J. A. Harris; invocation by the Rev. E. H. McDonald; words of welcome to St. John's by the Rev. C. A. Williams; a solo by Miss Eleise Cottrell, teacher of music at Lincoln University, Jefferson City, Mo.; and the introduction of the speaker by the Rev. Russel Taylor. The Rev. John Albert Williams, president of the Omaha branch, presided. Sixty new members were secured. Before closing the meeting, the Negro National hymn, "Lift Every Voice and Sing," written by James Weldon Johnson, national secretary, was sung by a chorus led by the orchestra. Mr. Pickens spoke at Fremont Tuesday night before a large audience, returning to Omaha Wednesday morning and leaving for Des Moines Wednesday afternoon. NEBRASKA'S WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS THE REV.

TULSA HERE WEEK-END Omaha Western Leaguers Steadily Climbing in League Standing After Poor Start at Beginning of Season—Team Is Being Strengthened Hartington, Neb., June 15, 1925. Editor, The Monitor: I am a white man and I wish it understood that the suggestion I have to make is strictly in the interest of your colored people. I read carefully your editorial of May 28th. It was good, so good that I gave the paper to one of our leading attorneys to read. I have just read the article written on that editorial by the Publicity Committee of the Colored Commercial Club. If the proposition made by that committee were carried out in full it would argue toward the segregation of the colored people. If I mistake not I have read criticisms in your paper of firms conducted by white people because they discriminated against CROPPER SYSTEM DOOMED Washington, D. C., June 18.—The system of tenant farming in the South is rapidly undergoing a change, and it appears that the "cropper" system, which has long held the colored farmers in a state of serfdom, is doomed. It is a system peculiar to the cotton-growing section of the country and has left in its trail thousands of poverty-stricken and hopeless human beings. But the ravages of the boll weevil and the opening of industrial opportunities in the North are bringing about a change that should result in a readjustment of agricultural conditions in the South—a change that will be beneficial to all concerned, especially to the colored farmers, who too frequently are the victims of the "naught's a naught 'na figger's a figger" method of book-keeping so generally used by their exploiters. During the five years between January 1, 1920, and January 1, 1925, thousands of these tenant farmers, mostly "croppers", have left the farms and are now engaged in industrial pursuits. Sumter county, Ga, has lost 961; Fayette county, Tennessee, 808; McCormick county, South Carolina, 790; Lincoln county, Arkansas 592; Warren county, Mississippi, 295; Giles county, Tennessee, 286; Claiborne county, Mississippi, 193, making a total of 3,925 colored farmers in seven separated counties. If this movement continues, there is every reason to believe that conditions more favorable to tenant farmers in the South will be urged as 'an economic necessity. NEGRO PRIEST READS ORDINAL ORDINAL PREFACE New York, June 18—(Columbian Press Bureau).—For the first time in the history of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, a Negro priest, Rev. Dr. Hutchins C. Bishop, rector of St. Philip's Episcopal church, 213 West 134th street, read the preface to the ordinal. The occasion was the ordination, by Bishop William T. Manning, of class of five young men to the diaconate and the advancement of five deacons to the priesthood. Among those advanced to the priesthood was Rev. Aaron J. Cuffee, the assistant at St. Philips. After the ordination Bishop and Mrs. Manning entertained the ten young men at their residence at luncheon. Omaha followers of Western League baseball have a feast in store for them. The Omaha Buffaloes arrived home Wednesday for the longest home stand of the season. Games each day until July 2nd. Saturday and Sunday of this week Tula will be the visiting attraction and as the Buffaloes took the entire series from the Tulsans at their home diggings last week, Lyman's team will be out for revenge, so great games can be expected. Following them in succession come St. Joseph, Oklahoma City and Des Moines. This home series for the locals will have a strong bearing on the ultimate outcome in the standings. The locals are playing great ball at present and are out for another flag. Lee King, who has played centerfield for Omaha all season, has been released and the position has been strengthened by the purchase of Lourance from the East Texas League. This youngster is a .400 hitter and is now batting at that stride. Mag- the colored people in the employment of help. The point was well taken. But if the suggestion made by your committee is the right thing then the same thing would be right for the white people. What is food for the goose is food for the gander. If there is any one thing that you colored people, or any broad-minded man, is opposed to more than any other thing it is the segregation, in any sense, of your class or any other class, and if the suggestion offered by your correspondent were carried to its logical conclusion it would mean segregation in a very definite sense. We should work as individuals and not as classes. It is your peoples' duty and every man's duty to buy where he can do JOHNSON AWARDED SPINGARN MEDAL Secretary of National Advancement Association Receives a Musk Gorilla New York, June 18.—The Spingarn medal, given each year to an American of African descent for "most distinguished achievement", has been awarded for 1925 to James Weldon Johnson, New York secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, "author, diplomat and public servant," it was announced Saturday. He was appointed United States consul to Corinto, Nicaragua in 1909, after serving as consul in Puerto Cabello, Venezuela, since 1906. In 1920 he made an investigation of the American rule in Haiti, publishing charges of misrule in The Nation, which are said to have led to a congressional investigation. Mr. Johnson is the author of several volumes of prose and poetry and a few years ago won the prize offered by Columbia university for the best editorial in which over 2,000 American editors competed. SEEKS WEST INDIES TRADE Ottawa, June 18.—Columbian Press Bureau)—A conference which is expected to result in a new trade agreement between Canada and the West Indies will open here June 19. Traffic experts of the Finance Department and the Department of Trade and Commerce are now preparing data bearing on the tariff as it affects the countries concerned and this will be presented to the conference. Other departments of the government have been instructed to gather information covering the field of communication via wireless and cable. At present there is a trade agreement in force between Canada and the West Indies, entered into in 1920. It provides for the institution of a subsidized mail, passenger and freight steamship service between the islands and Canada. Since this agreement came into existence, and more particularly during the past year, it has been contended in the House of Commons that the steamship service is inadequate, with the result that trade between the United States and the West Indies has shown remarkable growth while that of Canada has not nate Burch paid out a real wad of cash for this boy. And Tony DeFate, a real ball player will be eligible in a few days and then our weakest corner on the club, 3rd base, will be sound and secure. Mr. Burch is making every effort to secure a real team and should be encouraged in his efforts. Attendance has not been what it should. Support, both moral and financial, is what wins pennants, and Omaha fans should be doing their share. We have every chance of coping the flag, as the race in the Western is now a topic of writing in all the country's sporting sheets. No other league in the country is staging such a close fight. Let's greet the home team during their stay here this month with banner crowds and then watch the wins stack up. Single games start at 2:45 and double headers at 2:00 o'clock. the best for himself. In doing that we include every business man, white or black, to do the best he can by his patrons. It is a crime against nature for the white man to segregate your people and it is a crime against yourselves for you to do anything that works to that end. What we want is to eliminate class. We can't do it all at once, but we are doing fine. Let our employment of labor or the purchase of any commodity be determined by the value of the goods. That will encourage honesty in labor or trade. Let us work for unity and harmony between the races and not encourage segregation in any form. Your friend, DR. W. M. WARD. VENEREAL DISEASES ARE DESTROYERS OF HEALTH AND WEALTH (By the United States Public Health Service.) IV. The Remedies—Educational Measures The first three articles of this series recounted the history and distribution of the venereal diseases and pointed out their cost in health and wealth. Having noted the facts, the question arises what can be done to reduce this economic burden and lessen the strain which these diseases place upon individual, family and social welfare. The measures which are being employed in this effort may for convenience be divided into three parts—educational, legal and medical. This article presents the educational measures, the others being reserved for subsequent articles. The aim of educational measures is to arouse the individual and the community to the seriousness of the problem by emphasizing the following facts: That syphilis and gonorrhea are communicable germ diseases and dangerous to the public health; That persons having acquired them should place themselves under thorough, reputable, and continued treatment; That under such treatment cure is possible: That every person who has been exposed to venereal diseases or thinks he has been exposed seek medical treatment immediately; That the diseases are spread principally through prostitution and illicit sex conduct; That many persons, however, acquire these diseases innocently through the carelessness, indifference or viciousness of persons already infected, and, for this reason, such indifferent persons should be controlled even to the extent of quarantine, if necessary; That the only certain prevention is for everyone to limit sex relations to those sanctioned by law and morals. The presentation of these facts varies, of course, with the age and particular interest or function of the various groups and institutions participating with the official agencies in this educational effort. Among such groups and institutions may be mentioned civic clubs, women's organizations, welfare societies, the schools and churches, industrial organizations. The Federal, State and local health departments in conveying this information to the general public utilize such facilities as: Pamphlets, books, placards, lectures, motion pictures, exhibits and stereopicture slides. Some of the more important educational materials which the United States Public Health Service makes available for use in its co-operative work with the State Health departments are: "The Science of Life"—a 12-reel motion picture. "Keeping Fit"—an exhibit for boys. "Youth and Life"—an exhibit for girls. "The Venereal Disease Menace"—an exhibit for adults. "Venereal Disease Information"—a monthly publication for physicians and health officers. "Social Pathology"—a publication for social workers and kindred groups. A series of pamphlets: Set A—for young men. Set B—for officials and the general public. Set C—for boys. Set D—for parents. Set E—for girls and young women. Set F—for educators. These pamphlets, as well as the other materials mentioned, may be obtained from the State Boards of Health or from the United States Public Health Service, Washington, D. C. Whole Number 520 OMAHA ROYAL GIANTS MAKE CLEAN SWEEP OF S. C. GHOSTS SERIES New Omaha Professional Team, Composed of Stars, Makes Good Impression at First Brown's Omaha Royal Giants, Omaha's new professional colored base ball team teamed their season Sunday at League Park with a win over the Sioux City Ghosts, one of the fastest colored traveling teams in the country today. This game was considered by all fans alike to be one of the best games played in Omaha for some time. On Monday evening the same clubs met again and once more Brown's home boys pulled up in front to the count of 5 to 4 in 12 innings of fast baseball. One of the real features of the games between these clubs was the work of both catchers. These were undoubtedly two as clever workmen could be found. Both were adepts at one hand catching and clever trickery. Gray, the Omaha receiver, has a wonderful arm but uses poor judgment in throwing or returning a ball to one of the basemen. There is little to be gained by such throwing. The club is now at Sioux City, but will return here on the first open date at League Park. Plans are made to attend these games, which will be held all season on open dates at League Park. The team is a real credit to Omaha. ENFORCED EXPANSION FOLLOWS MIGRATION Washington, D. C., June 18.—(Columbian Press Bureau) — Economists far and near are hailing with delight the findings with a recently-made survey of the South have brought to light. The survey shows that in the solid area heretofore solely dependent upon the cotton industry and agriculture, manufacturing is now of equal financial importance. Birmingham pig iron and steel are now finding markets in the North, West and overseas; whereas a few years ago its limitations were restrictive. In yardage of woven goods, the cotton-growing states now show an output which compares with New England's output as 4 to 3, and the South is now utilizing its climate, soil and water power, mineral and forest resources, together with modern machinery and equipment, in a way as never before. These changes have become most marked during the past decade which witnessed the departure from the South of more than a million Negroes, the majority of whom had labored long and faithfully to produce wealth for the South. And the effects of so great a loss of efficient labor were made more noticeable when the restricted immigration regulations, fostered by the republican party in its endeavor to protect American labor from too great an influx of foreign labor, became fully effective. In the South, necessity became the mother of invention, and a remarkable progress, which cheers the world, has ensued. SOUTHERN TEACHER SOLICITS FOR SCHOOL Ransom . Johnson, head teacher of Street Manual Training School of Richmond, Ala., is visiting Omaha in the interest of his school. Several prominent and well-known -persons constitute the board of trustees. The school, which is in a rural community and has an enrollment of 300 pupils and employs ten teachers, receives the princely appropriation of $120 a year, or $10 a month from the state. It costs $10,000 a year to maintain the school despite the fact that the teachers receive only $35 a month and their board. Mr. Johnson spoke at the Unitarian church, the Rev. Ralph Bailey pastor, last Sunday morning He is soliciting money for a building fund. He bears letters and well authenticated credentials. OLD FOLKS HOME IS GIVEN AN ORGAN Mr. Randall has given an organ to the Old Folks Home, which is very much appreciated. Mrs. W. W. Peebles has donated clothing for inmates of the Home. The regular monthly meeting will be held the first Wednesday in July at 10 a. m.; and the Board meeting Thursday evening, July 2, at 8 o'clock at Dr. J. H. Hutten's office. Applicants for the Home should communicate with Mrs. Laura Hicks, 2530 Maple street, chairman of the House Committee. There are only 20 colored motormen on street railways.

Lealtad, rector of St. Philip's Episcopal church, St. Paul, Minn., accompanied Elmer Morris, a successful druggist of that city, in an automobile trip to Omaha Monday, and was the house guest of Dr. and Mrs. Craig Morris, 3035 Manderson street. Mr. Morris was the house guest of his sister, Mrs. Grace M. Hutten. Father Lealtad, before going to St. Paul, where he has been located for twenty years, was rector of St. Thomas' Church, Chicago He was a classmate in the Western Theological Seminary and a warm friend of the late Rt Rev. Arthur L. Williams, Bishop of Nebraska. Father Lealtad and Father John Albert Williams have also been intimate personal friends for thirty-five years. Father Lealtad and Mr. Morris left for St. Paul Friday morning. THE NEW ERA BAPTIST ASSOCIATION HOLDS SUCCESSFUL SESSION The New Era Baptist Association, which was in session at Pilgrim Baptist church June 8-14, held the most successful meeting in its eight years' history. The convention included the Ministers and Deacons Union, the Woman's Auxiliary, the Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. convention. There was a large attendance, encouraging reports, instructive papers, addresses, sermons and discussions with musical numbers interspersed. Among the outstanding visitors to the association was Mrs. Alice Brown of Kansas City Mo., who will sail in the autumn as a missionary to Africa. The Rev. Mr. Bocker presented her to the convention.

JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS. THE NEGRO’S CONTRIBUTION NOT NEGLIGIBLE A moment's thought will easily convince open-minded persons that the contribution of the Negro to American nationality as slave, freedman and citizen was far from negligible. No element of American life has so subtly and yet clearly woven itself into warp and woof of our thinking and acting as the American Negro, He came with the first explorers and helped in exploration. His labor was from the first the foundation of the American prosperity and the cause of the rapid growth of the new world in social and economic importance. Modern democracy rests not simply on the striving white men in Europe and America but also on the persistent struggle of the black men in America for two centuries. The military defense of this land has de- pended upon Negro soldiers from the time of the Colonial wars down to the struggle of the World War. Not only does the Negro appear, reappear and persist in American Jitera- ture but a Negro American literature has arisen of deep significance, and Negro folk lore and music aré among the Sholcest heritages of this land, Finally the Negro has played peculiar spiritual role in America as a sort of living, ag test of our ideals sad an example of the faith, and tolerance of our religion—Du Bois, “The Gift of ick Folk.’ uk.” 4 isan "AGE TWO THINK IT OVER A HIGHLY esteemed friend and reader of The Monitor writes us in well-meant criticism of the position taken by the Pub- licity Committee of the Colored Commercial Club in its letter published in last week's issue, commending our recent editorial, “Our Strength in Omaha.” Our correspondent of this week was also pleased with our editorial, but he sees in the logical carrying out of the proposition submitted by our last week's ‘correspondent, the emphasis and entrench: ment of the. very principle which every righthinking American should oppose and that is segregation. Dr. Ward maintains, in substance, that we cannot consistently encourage the principle of segregation on ‘one hand and oppose it on the other. Is hhe not right? Read his letter and think it over Cam it be satisfactorily answered? We withhold our comment while thanking ‘our correspondents for furnishing our readers with much food for thought. HOLDING THE WORLD'S RECORD DE HART HUBBARD holds the world record for the running broad jump. At Chicago last Saturday he jumped nearly twenty-six feet. or to be exact 25 feet, 10 78 inches. This is nearly five inches, or, again to be perfectly exact, four and 11-16 inches farther than any other human being is known to have jumped be- fore, He has, therefore, set a record for the entire world that will be difficult even to equal, to say nothing of surpassing. ‘That a Negro athlete holds the world’s record is a gratifying fact in the face ‘of the disposition to write his race as in- ferior in all realms of activity. Negro athletes are knocking big holes in the high wall of Nordic superiority. Hubbard has brought an enviable honor to his alma mater, Michigan university, by his athletic prowess and Michigan has been honored by admitting him to its privileges, schol astic and athletic. He has brought honor to America and American athletics and lan especial honor to his race. His achieve ments will be an inspiration to other Amer ican athletes, whose countenaces wear the burnished livery of the sun, Hubbard ha brought honor to America. He holds the world’s record. And yet the sad though that intrudes itself is that America, nar row-minded, prejudice-blighted, craven hearted America will not treat him as an American son, but as an alien, because hhis face is black. But this must not daun tus, or palsy our endeavors. We must keep striving to make and break world record: wherever opportunity offers and some day America will be just, banish her Jim Crow cars and other humiliations which she permits such men as Granville Woods, in science, George Carver in chemistry and DeHart Hubbard in athletics to suffer. MUNICIPAL STREET CARS WHY cannot Omaha own her street car system? Municipal ownership of gas and water has proven beneficial not only from the standpoint of efficient service but from the other important angle of ‘economy. Municipal street cars is. what Omaha needs, Let's go after them. MORE POLITICAL HERESY THE Monitor believes that the Com- mission form of government is less ef- ficient than the old councilimanie form. ‘The ward councilman looked after needed improvements in his ward ond got them ‘or his constituents knew the reason why. Interest was localized. As it is now, it is easy to pass the buck and delay mat ters. This is political heresy, but _never- theless we aire willing to confess that we would like to see a return to the old coun- eilmanie form of city government. “WHITE SUPREMACY” THERE is much talk these days about the maintenance of “White Supremacy.” Much of it is hysterical; a vast deal of it is quite unnecessary and foolish. There is a wellknown biological law called “the survival of the fittest.” If the white races are the fittest to survive, the fittest to be supreme, they will survive and maintain their supremacy which they will deserve to doj_but feverish and hysterical boasts about the maintenance of white supremacy, unless moral, spiritual and intellectual standards and ideals conform thereto are foolish and vain. EASTERN DELEGATES TO N. A. A.C. P. CONVENTION ARE COMING TUESDAY . ‘A large delegation from the eastern states, enroute to the sixteenth annual conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which opens in Denver next Wednesday, will reach Omaha over the Burlington at 3:50 Tuesday afternoon, leaving at 4:25. That will give them thirty-five minutes in Om- ‘aha. The local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. plans to give these visitors a twenty: minute amo ride over the city during their stop here.

FORTUNE CLAIMED BY PEA SHELLER London Market Woman Seeks O'Connor Wealth. SD ee et Oto a aes nor Tindall, 8 Doon street, London, England, who has been shelling peas in Covent Garden, London, for 50 years and claims to be the champion pea sheller of the world, has put in a claim for the fortune of John O'Connor, Hastings’ shoemaker recluse, who dled 12 yeurs ago leaving $150,000 and no known heirs. The property is now worth about $250,000 and Is held by the state until the true helrs are lo- cated. f Meantime, some 500 or more O'Con- nors all over the world have been after the fortune, but none have been able to prove relationship to the recluse. ‘The fortune consists of cash, gilt- edged bonds and mortgages and sev- eral of the finest farms in Adama county. Mrs. Tindall has Just written Judge Waldo Withersteen of the Distriet court that she believes she is a sis- ter of John O'Connor and, as such, she thinks she is entitled to the $250,000, Referred to Three Brothers Mrs, Tindall says that 59 yeurs ago her Uttle brother, John O'Connor, at that time twelve years old, started for America in company with Dan, Denny and Mike Ryan, brothers and friends of the O'Connor family. “If you can find either Dan, Denny or Mike Ryan, they will tell you [am John O'Connor's sister,” Mrs. Tindall naively remarks in her letter. Mrs, ‘Tindall was “written up” a couple, of years ago as the champion pea sheller of the world. Her story gradually drifted around until a wom ‘an in Spanishburg, W. Va., read it. The West Virginia woman had also read of the O'Connor fortune. She wrote Mrs. ‘Tindall about the American fortune awaiting proof of relationship. Mra, ‘Tindall remembered her brother of half a century ayo, and Immediately addressed Judge Wintersteen, For over fifty years Mrs. Tindall has done nothing but shell pews, she saya, Shelling peas Is her one and only Job. But she has never seen a pea growing on a vine, She husn’t been out of London for over fifty years and sel- dom has left the block where she works. In Hastings there's always some- thing new In the O'Connor case. “O'Connor” is standing assignment on the books of the city editors. Re porters, every day, stop by to see, not if there’s anything new in O'Con. nor affairs, but what the new thing is. ‘There's always something new, For 12 years it's been the standing news of Hastings. Last month the new O'Connor story was the trial of James B. O'Connor, Kansas City lawyer, charged with forging « will giving himself the for- tune of the recluse, whom he claimed ag un uncle. This was O'Connor's ‘third trial. One trial in 1922 lasted for four months. ‘This was the case in which four claimants of the fortune—one from North Carolina, another from Lapeer, Mich.; a third from Fresno, Cal., and the fourth from Selkirk, Man —were fighting one another for the es- tute. ‘The Selkirk claimant was a half breed Cree Indian who sid old O’Con- nor was his father, and that he for merly had been a trapper for the Hud: son's Bay company. None of the four proved his claim Kept Affairs to Self. O'Connor came to Hastings when a young man, opened a shoemaker's ‘shop, attended to business, saved every cent, and made no confidants. He never wrote Metter nor received ‘one, and never spoke to a woman ex- cept on business. He invested every cent he got in lands at $1.25 to $2.50 an acre. ‘That land is now worth $200 an acre, He died without leaving « wil, ‘The court took over the property. ‘The story got into the newspapers, and it fairly rained claimants. At one time over 500 men, women and chil- dren had formally applied to the court for the fortune. ‘O'Connor's body was kept in cold storage for five years awaiting identl fication, and every O'Connor who saw it positively identified it us the body of his father, grandfather, uncle, brother, cousin, or some other rela- tive, although none of them had seen him for 50 years. ‘After burial it was extiumed for the benefit of a woman from Watervitet, N. Ye who immediately recognized it as the body of her runaway hus- band who had deserted her 51 years previously. But none has been able to prove re. lationship and the fortune Is still here. Mrs. Tindall, champion pea sheller of the world, has Just as good a chance of getting the money as anybody else, ‘especially if she can find Dan, Denny or Mike Ryan anywhere.

London.—Recent unofficial estimates of the population of Greater London have put the figures at about 8,000,000. ‘The London telephone aren covers 785 square miles, and the metropolitan po- Uce district 691 square miles, and both are said to be growing rapidly, ‘The distance across London trom various sections of the greater elty vary from twenty to thirty miles. ‘Sir Kingsley Wood, M.

The Narwhal, built at San Francisco in 1883, is one of the finest examples afloat of sailing-ship construction, in the view of the shipping men. Immediately after her launching she was entered in the whaling industry, in which she remained for many years. During that time she established many records, both in whale catches and fast cruises. After leaving the pursuit of whales, the craft was used for a number of years in the trade to the South seas. The final voyage of the Narwhal ended last year when she crept into San Francisco harbor from an expedition to the South seas. On her outbound trip from San Francisco, the barkentine disappeared for a period of sixteen months and was recorded as lost at sea. She later appeared at a South sea port, however, bearing stories of terrific wind storms. Shortly after casting anchor at San Francisco the Narwhal was sold at auction to satisfy claims, and the motion-picture interest that acquired the old-time whaler will move her down the coast to San Pedro. Gets Electric Ray Fish That Could Stun Elephant Danville, Va.—Dr. Russell J. Coles, tocbonist, whose hobby is deep-sea fishing, and who taught the late Theodore Roosevelt harpooning of devil fish, has presented to the Museum of Natural History in New York a giant specimen of the electric ray fish. He caught it off morehead City, N. C. It weighed 120 pounds, and, according to Doctor Coles, had a sufficient charge to "stun an elephant." It was stranded near his boat, he says, by a receding tide. Members of his crew pre- vented it from regaining the sea. When dead the electric energy stored in doctor Coles describes as batteries near the head of the fish, was found to be negligible. It was placed in preserving fluid and shipped to the curator of the museum. Lockport, La.-According to a recent aerial survey, more than 1,000 square miles of land have been added to the area of the state of Louisiana by deposits of silt left by the Mississippi river in the last 25 years. The survey shows that one sector of the land extends out to sea 12 miles farther than it did in 1900. Bays and inlets, in many cases, have been entirely filled in and numerous streams have disappeared. The building of a drainage system and the clearing of the land are responsible for the increasing deposits of silt and the slow but certain growth of land bordering on the river. H. J.
