WOMAN MURDERED; HER HUSBAND IS HELD CONVENTIONS WILL COST MANY MILLIONS DURING AUGUST Estimated That Colored Americans Will Spend the Enormous Sum of $25,000,000 Attending Conventions PLAN LAVISH ENTERTAINMENT Richmond, Louisville, Chicago, Tulsa And Other Cities Wil Vie In Extending Hospitality to Thousands of Guests (Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill., Aug. 14.—Throughout the month of August, it has been conservatively estimated that Colored America, alone, will spend more that $25,000,000 for railroad fares and expenses during attendance at conventions and in having vacations. This does not include the other amount, say at least another $1,000,000 or more that will be spent by those who travel in automobiles, buy thousands of gallons of gasoline, oil, and other necessities connected with motor touring. August is the "climax month" of conventions. The Knights of Pythias, 25,000 will swoop down on Louisville; the military end of the aggregation being under the direction of Major General R. R. Jackson of Chicago, who will keep the division under strict military discipline during the entire period. The sessions of the Grand Lodge will be under the direction of Supreme Commander S. W. Green of New Orleans. The national convention of the Independent, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World meets in Richmond, Va. This will be guided by the hand of J. Finley Wilson of Washington, Grand Exalted Ruler. It has been announced that 40,000 will accept the hospitality of the famous capitol of Virginia, and "make the welkin ring" for practically a week. This occasion will be particularly enlivened by the contest for Grand Exalted Ruler, in which T. B. Watkins of Kansas City seems to be the leading candidate. A magnificent parade is a feature of both Elks and K. of P.'s. The National Negro Business League, Dr. R. B. Moton, president, will have its day and say in Tulsa, Oklahoma, the land of oil, wealth and hospitality. The entire state of Oklahoma has joined hands with the Tulsaites in helping to make the occasion one long to be remembered. For almost a year, business men in all of the cities have been co-operating with the hosts of the convention in helping to make the occasion a success. It has been stated on high authority that every visitor will be surprised at the genuine courtesies that will be extended by all groups and classes. A number of surrounding places will be visited. Special consideration of business and economic conditions will be studied. Doctors in Chicago The National Medical Association, Dr. M. O. Dumas of Washington, president, will hold its session in Chicago. The attendance at this convention, while not as large as that of some of the fraternal bodies, nevertheless, promises to be the largest in the history of the organization. The Chicago committee informs us that preparations are being made to entertain several hundred visitors who will be in Chicago at the time of the convention, "just because Chicago is such a fine place to visit." All Chicago organizations, including the Associated Business Club, the Apomattox Club, the newspapers, and individual citizens, will have special entertainment during the week of the convention. Word has been received in Chicago that coming and going many hundreds of visitors attending other conventions will spend a day or two in Chicago. Preparations, are also being made by "Windy City" folks to extend the glad hand of welcome to these, "as though their main objective were Chicago," as one citizen put it. There are always changes of progress going on in Chicago, and visitors will find that the last year has brought a larger percentage of advancement than has ever been known before. There has been more building, more businesses established, and more new homes provided in the most exclusive sections of the city, than has ever been known heretofore. EDUCATORS ENDORSE KINDNESS Durham, N. C., Aug. 14.—During the national convention of Teachers in Colored Schools here last week, the convention went on record endorsing humane education in the schools of the country, and elected Seymour Carroll, field secretary of the American Humane Education Society of Boston, Mass., as the chairman of the department. Mr. Carroll, who makes his home at Greenville, S. C., will speak at all the colleges and high schools this winter in the interest of kindness, justice and mercy to every living creature, even Negroes down here.

INTERNATIONAL CARTOON CO. N.Y. CHINESE STUDENTS PROTEST New York, Aug. 14.—The Chinese Students Club of Colorado college, Colorado Springs, has sent to James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, a statement placing the blame for recent disorders in China upon British police, and asserting that unarmed Chinese students were massacred. The statement quotes from evidence showing that most of the Chinest shot were shot in the back, that no British police were wounded, that at least 70 Chinese were killed and 300 wounded and that the massacre occurred during a parade conducted by the students in protest against the arrest of fellow students by the British police for making speeches and distributing handbills. The statement includes a motion unanimously passed by the faculty of Tsing Hua college, Peking, including British and American professors, which is as follows: "Recently in Shanghai a number of Chinese students were shot and killed or wounded by the British Police. We wish to voice our extreme indignation at this occurrence. For those who died and tor the wounded, we feel the deepest sorrow and we join in expressing our profound sympathy to the people throughout the nation who protest against these atrocities." Moreover, in Peking 118 foreign women united in issuing a manifesto, the names including Mrs. Henry Houghton, wife of the president of Pekin Union Medical college; Mrs. W. J. Calhoun, wife of the former American minister to Pekin, and other well known women. The Chinese students also ask for the abolition of extra-territorial rights by foreign powers, alleging that racial prejudice in the European courts of justice maintained on Chinese soil results in grave discrimination and injustice to the Chinese. BROWN BABIES RAISE OVER $22,000 New York, Aug. 14.—The Brown Babies of the United States were asked to raise $25,000 during 1925. They answered by raising just about that amount in the first seven months. At the same rate they would make it between $40,000 and $50,000 by the end of the year. This deed of the Babies is the biggest single thing that any group ever did for the Association in a financial way. Our reports from Baby Contests for the N. A. A. C. P. since January 1, 1925, until July show $22,633,80. for the branches and the national office, and we have not all of the reports. There are still about 30 contests pending and many others will be organized PROTEST RENEWED ATTEMPTS AT RESIDENTIAL SEGREGATION St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 14.—A mass meeting called for the purpose of protecting the property rights of the colored citizens of this city was held last Monday night at St. Paul A. M. E. church. Eforts have been made by realy dealers and neighborhood organizations here to establish agreements not to sell to colored people in certain blocks and a temporary injunction has been granted Dr. Holt, who purchased in the 4500 block on Cote Brillante, a street in which many of the better colored homes are already located. The meeting was called to protest and to arange a defense fund to fight the encroachments being made. It was held under the auspices of the Inter-denominational Ministers Alliance, The St. Louis Business League and the St. Louis Negro Insurance Association. NORTH CAROLINA LEADS IN COLORED SCHOOLS Raleigh, N. C., Aug. 14.—North Carolina olina, leading all other southern states, has 494 Resenwald schools and fourteen teachers' homes, representing a total expen-ditures of $2,319,053, according to A. L. Smith, general field agent of the Julius Rosenwald Fund. The nearest competitor, so far as Rosenwald schools are concerned, is Mississippi, which is mighty bad in many other ways. OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 14, 1925 Prompt Action by Officers Averts Race Trouble Prompt Action by Officers Averts Race Trouble BROWN AND STEVEN'S BANK SOLD AT AUCTION (Associated Negro Press) Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 14.—The property at the northeast corner of Broad and Lombard streets, formerly occupied by Brown and Stevens, bankers, was offered by the sheriff at a public sale on Monday. August 31, on foreclosure of one of the mortgages. The property, a very good looking one, consists of twenty-one feet on Broad street by ninety-three feet on Lombard street to an alley, and is improved by a three-story building, the top of which contains three apartments. Two offices occupy the second floor, the first floor the bank, and a side office. Ninety-four thousand dollars was the consideration for which the building sold, and is considered by real estate operators to be a big price. Letters of thanks have been sent by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to Mayor Charles Green of Battle Creek, Michigan, and Brigadier General Benjamin A. Poore, commanding officer at Camp Custer, for their prompt action in suppressing what threatened for a time to become a race roit between white soldiers and colored citizens of the city. The Calhoun branch of the N. A. A. C. P., through Geo. W. Corrothers, its president; C. L. Evans, chairman of the executive committee, and Carrie E. Foster, secretary, makes the following report: "The trouble started on Sunday, July 19, between 3 and 5 o'clock in a house with a questionable reputation, among the ATLANTA, Ga., Aug. 14. (Special). Georgia will join the growing list of Southern states which are taking active steps to end rioting and mob violence if the Legislature enacts the Law and Order bill introduced in the House of Representatives. The bill, entitled "An Act to Maintain Law and Order," provides that in any case of riot, riotous assembly, or mob violence, careful investigation shall be made by the Judge of the Superior Court. If it apears from this investigation that any sheriff, deputy sheriff, jailer, or other peace officer was negligent or incompetent in dealing with such disorder, the Chief Justice or other Justice of the Supreme Court shall appoint a special Law and Order Commission to hear all the evidence in the case and render judgment as to the faithfulness or negligence of the officer in question. If he is found by the Commission to have been negligent, judgment to that effect shall be communicated to the Governor, who in turn shall remove the officer from his position. Proof that any person was taken from the custody of the officer by the mob, or killed or injured while in his custody, shall be prima facie evidence of neglect, to be offset only by affirmative proof that the officer had in fact used all reasonable precaution and exercised the utmost diligence in the effort to maintain order. The bill provides further that in the case of an officer so adjudged negligent in the prevention of rioting or violence, the Attorney General of the State shall bring suit against such officer for the full value of any property destroyed by the mob and for the sum of $5,000 or each homeide committed by it. Any person removed from office under the provisions of the act shall be disqualified for a period of five years to hold any peace office of the state, county, or municipality. Friends of the measure point out that it is in line with similar laws enacted in other Southern states which have been found very effective in BISHOP DECLARES FOUNDATION OF AMERICAN DEMOCRACY BEING SHAKEN Round Lake, N. Y., Aug. 14—Bishop Robert E. Jones of the Methodist Episcopal church declared here Friday in an address before the Men's Council that the foundations of American democracy are being shaken by race barriers and race antipathy. The Bishop further pointed out that the good-natured, docile Negro is being transformed and he is becoming resentful of the treatment accorded him. "If we will keep in mind", said the Bishop, "that the Negro does not want philanthropy but justice, that he wants a chance and not charity, we shall have an approach to the subject of race relations that will give us finally an entirely different result to which we have had heretofore." lower element of our race, a white woman and a white soldier. The outcome of it was that the soldier was cut by a member of our race, not seriously, however, but just enough to form an excuse for revenge, not upon the man who committed the deed but upon the race. This soldier was stationed at Comp Custer which is located in the immediate vicinity of Battle Creek. He returned to the camp and that night a large bunch of soldiers came into Battle Creek and were joined by Battle Creek civilians and started the trouble which, however, was not of any great proportion. "We wish to state here that as soon as the major (Charles Green) of Battle Creek was informed of the existent circumstances the reduction of mob violence. It is said to be widely suported by religious, civic and welfare organizations over the State. Associated Matter 1926 St. Louis, Mo., Mo. App. 14.—C. F. Hethington of Charleston, So. Car., who is alleged to have travelled half around the world in search of his brother's slayer in the past twenty years and who thought his search was at an end, must now cover the other half as Circuit Judge Mix refused to grant the requisition of South Carolina authorities for Sam Brown, whom Hethington had claimed he recognized as the man who killed his brother. At the hearing here Friday, Brown, who says he is Nat Winston and has never been in South Carolina was granted a writ of habeas corpus because of insufficient evidence. "FARM IS BUSINESS AND HOME" (COLUMBIA Press Bureau) WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.—"The farm is a business, but it is is more—it is a home" recently declared the Secretary of Agriculture. Continuing, he said: "We want men and women to stay on the farm, not merely because they have been able to make a living there but because they have been profoundly satisfied with a farm life. We must have good schools, good rural churches, good roads, wholesome recreation and pleasure if farm life is to prove attractive in the highest degree. My efforts will be directed to help bring about an efficient, stable and profitable agriculture which will provide a standard of living which is in accord with American deals. A firmly established, enlightened and prosperous land-owning population is not only a great national asset but it is the safest balance wheel in our civilization. HELD IN RECORD BOND $500,000 Chicago, Ill., Aug. 14—Robert Snedd and John Mitchell whom five persons testified held them up with guns were held in a half-million dollar bond by Judge H. Lyle in the Criminal Court here Monday. Judge Lyle is a storm center because of the heavy bonds in which he has been holding suspects. WILBERFORCE ORGANIZES A SCHOOL OF MUSIC (Associated Negro Press) Wilberforce, Ohio, Aug. 14.—In making his plans for the advancement of Wilberforce university for another year, President Gilbert H. Jones has announced the employment of high class artists for the School o Music which is being established there. Prof. Norton E. Dennis, a graduate of the Chicago Musical College, is the director. Prof. Dennis has for seven years been director of the Department of Music at Wiley university. He is assisted by Prof. M. S. Stewart, instructor in violin, band and orchestra work, a graduate of Wilberforce university and the Illinois Conservatory of Music. Aunt Mandy's Observations in next weeks' issue. even though it was in the middle of the night, he immediately communicated with the camp authorities (Brig. Gen. Benjamin A. Poore, commander-in-charge) and they in turn sent military police into the affected district and with the assistance of the police and detective forces of Battle Creek and the sheriff's department of Calhoun county, order was restored for that night. The following evening, however, several of our people were accosted and beaten by men wearing soldiers' uniforms, in the outlying district, just outside of the city limits, in another part of the town. There have been no lives lost nor has anyone been seriously injured. Since Tuesday the camp authorities have kept all of the soldiers in camp, by order." HAWAII AN INTERRACIAL EXPERIMENT STATION (Columbia Press Bureau) N E W Y O R K August "Hawaii is not a land of hulu hulu dances, grasst skirts and 'ukeleses,' writes Dr. Albert W. Palmer in his book, "The Human Side of Hawaii." "Rather," says the author, "Hawaii is America's and the world's experiment station in interracial relationships. The sugar industry has changed Hawaii from a simply Polynesian paradise into a seething interracial pot. All the racial groups have come by invitation. From a population of 57,000 in 1872, the total has grown to 307,100, of whom 63 per cent are Asiatics, 40.8 per cent being Japanese. Hawaii is an integral part of the United States, and the greatest single problem in Hawaii is the Americanization of her polyglot Oriental population, especially the children, who are American citizens by virtue of their birth under the American flag in Hawaii." (Associated Negro Press) New York, Aug. 14. Word has just been received here from Cape Town, Africa, that the professor o anatomy in Cape Town University has just got possession of the skull of a native who recently died, that is probably the largest in the world. It is scientifically interesting, because of its resemblance to the famous Boskup skull, which is said to be the oldest in the world. If it should be established that the Boskup skull was native to Africa, it would mean that Africa is the cradle of humanity. GORILLAS AS HEALTH INSTRUCTORS OF HUMANS (Associated Negro Press) London, Aug. 14—According to Dr. Hubert Pocock, who spoke before the annual meeting of osteopaths in this city, walking on one's tiptoes is one of the best cures and preventives for ailments. He claimed it to be especially helpful in cases of diabetes. "Watch the gorilla and you can see how the human frame can best be supported," he explained. "The gorilla's tremendous chest is the result of its posture. Men must learn to walk on their toes." AND IS AND IS WINNERS OF URBAN LEAGUE FELLOWSHIPS BL New York, Aug. 14.—The National Urban League announces the following successful candidates for its 1925-1926 Fellowships: Miss Miriam Atkins of Winston-Salem, N.

Dut to the fact that the College is ranked as one of the accredited schools of the Southwest—by Standardizing Agencies—is responsible for teachers coming from every section of the state. In connection with the regular work there was in operation a Practice School under the competent supervision of Miss Elizabeth T. Perry for the benefit of those studying Primary Methods. This phase of the work proved to be a most valuable and popular feature of the session. Every effort was made by the institution to give those who attended an opportunity for the very best training along the lines of their profession. The members of the faculty for the regular session are studying this summer at Hampton Institute, Columbia, Illinois and Chicago Universities. COLLECTOR NICHOLS APPOINTS COLORED STENOGRAPHER BOSTON, Mass., Aug. 14.—On recommendation of William C. Matthews, Malcolm E.

Crook Boulevard, South Side BODY IDENTIFIED BY COUSIN Zeno White, Husband of Woman, Identified As Man Last Seen With Her Near the Scene of Murder About noon Wednesday the body of Mrs. Emma White, 27, of 2634 Hamilton street, was discovered in a corn field, partially buried under dirt and corn stalks, in Sarpy county, near Twelfth and Edwards streets. This is some distance south of the terminus of the Albright car line. The woman's throat had been cut, and her clothing was badly torn, indicating a struggle. Harrison Stephens, ice man, found a blood stained woman's purse and a hat in the road near the scene of the murder and notified the police, who upon investigation, found the body. Osie Nolan, 2505 P street, cousin of the slain woman, identified the body. Zeno White, 4724 South Twenty-sixth street, her husband, from whom it is alleged she separated two weeks ago, since which time she has been making her home with her bronter, Charles Johnson, 2634 Hamilton street, was arrested Wednesday afternoon by Detectives Keane and Nelson at the Swift plant, where he was at work and is being held for investigation. Harold Munan, 1317 Edwards street, and Charles Bashus, Route 5, Fort Crook Boulevard, identified White as the man whom they saw talking with the woman at the end of the Albright car line, the couple having alighted from an Albright car shortly after 9 o'clock on the night of the murder. According to information given at the Johnson home, where Mrs. White was living, White telephoned his wife Tuesday night to meet him in South Omaha and she left home to keep the appointment. That was the last time they saw her alive. WOMAN RETAINS HOME LOS ANGELES, Calif., Aug. 14.—In January of this year, Miss Frances Henderson purchased a piece of property at 230 East 45th street. It afterwards developed that 135 property owners in that neighborhood had signed an agreement which they called a covenant to prevent any non-white persons occupying any lots in the community at any future time. The man who sold to Miss Henderson signed this agreement. Miss Henderson purchased this beautiful modern home and occupied it with her mother. The 135 white neighbors filed a suit in court to oust her from possession of the property. This suit was decided July 29th in Department 4, before Carlos S. Hardy, judge, in favor of Miss Henderson. The "covenant" was declared void as to her and she was allowed to retain possession of the property. Miss Henderson was represented by Attorney Willis O. Tyler who has made a careful study for the past ten years of race restrictions and who is an authority on real estate law in the state of California. The decision was by trial court and the opponents have threatened to appeal the case. Miss Henderson is one of the progressive young women of our group.

THE PATHWAY TO DISASTER ATTORNEY H. J. Pinkett wrote a thoughtful and most commendable article on the recent Klan parade in Washington, D. C., which was published in the "Public Pulse" section of the World-Herald Tuesday morning. city for all. And in that day there will be no organization teaching oppression and in justice toward their fellowmen. When that day, in truth comes, we will have an American democracy worthy to claim the right to the "moral leadership of the world." It is the high duty of the lighter race Mr. Pinkett's logical and thought-compelling article will undoubtedly commend it to the favorable consideration of thousands of World-Herald readers, and we are glad that he wrote it. Such calm, candid and unimpassioned articles from writers of our race cannot but be helpful. For the benefit of our readers we herewith reprint Mr. Pinkett's letter, and comment it to their thoughtful perusal. Here it is: August 8, 1925. Editor Omaha World-Herald: The news columns of the daily papers this morning convey the intelligence that in the Capitol of the Nation, Washington, D. C., fifty thousand Knights of the Order of the Klu Klux Klan will parade down Pennsylvania avenue today. The apparent purpose of the demonstration in the nation's capitol is to show by weight of numbers, the political power of the organization. Surely, if Washington, and Lincoln, and Roosevelt, and Wilson, who suffered so much, and gave so much, to advance the cause of human brotherhood, could see and know what is passing today in the capitol they knew and loved they would bow down in grief at such a spectacle. For the announced principles of this organization are the opposite of the American ideal. They would array man against man, woman against woman, and child against child; and, of a united nation, composed of all races and creeds, they would make a land of suspicion and mistrust, and hate, and, maybe, a land drenched again in fraternal blood. Must we admit that the great American experiment in Democracy has ended in failure? This question must necessarily give concern to all men and women who love and serve their country. What would it profit America, if the Klan principles should prevail for a time? They would necessarily deny the equality of opportunity to certain races and creeds and would teach the lesson to them of hate and oppression, and at some future day the oppressed elements might gain the sceptre of power and in turn apply the lesson which they had learned to their fellowmen. This condition would not advance the cause of our country or the interests of civilization itself. If civilization in America and the world is to endure and progress, it can only do so on a basis of justice and the principles of brotherhood laid down by "The Man of Sorrow." And she must have, to achieve her high destiny, a rededication to the American ideals of liberty, fraternity and equality. We cannot endure "half slave and half free," whether our action be in the physical, economic, political, or religious sphere. The colored people of America who have suffered most and who have given most for their country, earnestly hope that the day is dawning when hate, and prejudice, the child of ignorance, and its handmaiden, shall be banished from our land, and in their places shall be erected the standard of justice and liberty and equal- THE NEGRO'S CONTRIBU A moment's thought will persons that the contribution nationality as slave, freedma negligible. No element of An yet clearly woven itself into and acting as the American N explorers and helped in explore the first the foundation of the cause of the rapid growth economic importance. Moden 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 depended 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 literature but a Negro American literature has arisen of deep significance, and Negro folk lore and music are among the choicest heritages of this land. Finally the Negro has played a peculiar spiritual role in America as a sort of living, breathing test of our ideals and an example of the faith, hope and tolerance of our religion.—Du Bois, "The Gift of Black Folk."

And in that day there will be no organization teaching oppression and injustice toward their fellowmen. When that day, in truth comes, we will have an American democracy worthy to claim the right to the "moral leadership of the world." It is the high duty of the lighter races of mankind, who, today hold the sceptre of power and leadership, to so teach and to so treat all the races of men amenable to that leadership, as to make it well for mankind when the sceptre of power and leadership shall pass to other hands. The demonstration in Washington today is not that way. It is the pathway to disaster. THE SIMMONS CASE WALTER SIMMONS has been executed for the murder three years ago of a man named Pahl at Spencer, Nebraska, and for which he was convicted on strong circumstantial evidence. A desperate battle was fought to save him from the electric chair. He was granted twenty-three reprieves. Each time the defense claimed to have discovered new evidence which would establish his innocence. This new evidence was never produced. It can be understood why further appeals for clemency and extension of time were denied. There were those who urged commutation of the sentence from that of death to life imprisonment since the evidence was circumstantial. In the face of the increase of murder and homicides and the belief that the parole system in some cases has been abused many held that such commutation would be a serious mistake. Those who doubted Simmons' guilt claimed that he had been "framed" and was the unfortunate victim of bootleggers who really committed the crime and that he was only an accessory to and not a principal in the crime. If this be true, it would seem that the defense was given ample time and opportunity to present these facts. It is true that innocent men are sometimes punished for the crimes of others. It is to be hoped that this was not true in the Simmons' case. But if ever a man was granted respite after respite in the hope of proving his innocence that man was Walter Simmons. GO AFTER BETTER LIGHTS THE MONITOR'S suggestion that the merchants and business men of North Twenty-fourth street organize and go after better lighting of that growing business thoroughfare has elicited favorable comment. We hope that it will not stop with words of approval but will result in organization and action. It's up to the business interests and and property owners of that section to get busy and get a white way from Cuming to Lake street. North Twenty-fourth street business men get busy. Go after better lights. They cost no more on North Twenty-fourth than they do on South Twenty-fourth street. FOR A FREE BRIDGE THE MONITOR is for a free bridge between Omaha and Council Bluffs. Our toll bridge between these two cities is something that should have been abandoned long ago. Let everybody boost for a free bridge between Omaha and the east.

(For The Associated Negro Press) Dempsey will fight Harry Wills somewhen, somehow, somewhere—in the east or the west or the north or south,—in New York or somewhere else,—under "Tex" Rickard's promotion or under that of somebody else, —in 1926 or 1936,—probably, perhaps, and MAYBE. The fight is always "next year." It is always just twelve months from NOW. This is fresh "news" all the time. Once upon a time the audience laughed when the chairman announced: "We have just received some important news,—if true" ..... One thing we may assert with reasonable confidence: That "Jack" Dempsey will fight Harry Wills if and when he is compelled to do so by public pressure and boxing commissions. But not otherwise nor otherwise. BRIEFS Customs officers at New York have seized a tapestry rug with the design of a one-dollar bill on it, including pictures of Grant and Lincoln.

KILL OFF USELESS WILD HORSES TO MAKE HOG FEED Stockmen Favor New Plan as Solution of Range Problem in Eastern Washington. Olympia, Wash.—The apparent success of an experiment in converting horse flesh into hog feed has given rise to the hope among eastern Washington stockmen that a practical means has at last been found to rid Washington ranges of thousands of worthless wild horses, declares Harold Dobyns, field leader for the biological survey, who returned recently from a coyote hunting trip in Benton county. Cattle men and wool growers have long considered the horses a menace to the live stock industry, since the animals, described locally as "knot-head Cayuses," place an added burden on the none too abundant range. In recent months, Mr. Dobyns said, an enterprising individual has established a slaughter-house and hog-feed plant at Plymouth, on the southern border of the Horse Heaven country, long famous as its name implies as a horse range. The horses are purchased at an average price of about $3 a head, which while low, enables the owners of the long-neglected ponies to realize a profit by rounding up their otherwise valueless animals, and the supply has so far kept pace with the demand. The slaughter-house is modern in every respect, M.Doyens said, and none of the carcass is wasted. The flesh is cooked with corn and other cereals for hog feed, and hides bring about $2 each, or nearly the cost of the horse, while the bones are disposed of to fertilizer plants at a price said to average $15 a ton. The hogs are shipped in, fattened and then reshipped to the markets. Approximately 600 hogs are fed at a time, while there is always a supply of horses awaiting slaughter in the corrals. When the supply of cheap horse flesh is exhausted at Plymouth, the slaughter-house will be dismantled and moved to other fields. Washington.—Frank Neuhauser, an eleven-year-old schoolboy of Louisville, Ky., is the national juvenile spelling champion, because he was able to spell "gladiolus" after Edna Stover, eleven, of Trenton, N. J., had spelled it with a "y" instead of an "i." Young Neuhauser won the title here in the finals of a national contest sponsored by newspapers. The $200 he received, along with a gold medal, will be used for a college education, he said. About 2,000,000*school children were entered in sectional contests. The nine finalists laughed at the easy words pronounced for them during the first half-hour of the spelling bee the other night. At the end of that time all were taking the hurdles easily, and then Almeda Pennington, Houston, Texas, fell out on the word "skittish." "Cosmos" proved the undoing of Mary Coddens of South Bend, Ind., and Loren Mackey, Oklahoma state champion, failed on "propeller." Ten-year-old Patrick Kelly, orphan of New Haven, Conn., stumbled on "blackguard" and "statistician" baffled Dorothy Karrick of Detroit. Then Mary Daniel and Helen Fischer tripped on "valuing" and "mortbund," respectively, and the contest was between the first and second prime winners. THE MONITOR WAN Wide Awake The Monitor South Or Counci Call Webster 42 1119 No. 2 Call Webster 4243 or apply at 1119 No. 21st Street QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS IN NEGRO HISTORY This column is conducted by George Wells Parker, author of "The Chillren of the Sun" and founder of the Hamitic League. He will be glad to answer in the column all questions of a reasonable length. Where space will not permit, he will answer correspondents who inclose postage for a return reply. Questions for him should be addressed to George Wells Parker, Associated Negro Press, 3423 Indiana Avenue, Chicago, Illinois. Will you kindly refer me to a volume that treats scientifically with the question of racial values and the matter of so-called inferior and superior peoples? G. B. F., St. Louis, Missouri. One of the best and least technical is "The Mind of Primitive Man" by Frank Boas, who is an authority and fair-minded writer. Are the Riffians who are fighting, the French Negroes? B. K. L., Des Moines, Iowa. The Riffians are a Mohammedan tribe inhabiting the hills of Morocco and considerably mixed with Negro blood. Perhaps it would be more correct to call them originally African and Negro people whose blood has been mixed with various strains. Of just what value to the American Negro is an ancient history of racial achievement? V. F. D., Philadelphia, Pa. Such a knowledge should stimulate pride and pride begets the desire for further achievement. It is the only study that can eventually overcome the so-called "inferiority complex" which is the greatest bane of the American Negro. As a man thinks, so must he be. Was Modern Masonry really founded by Negroes? G. G. D., Washington, D. C. Modern Masonry was not founded by Negroes but by English. Ancient Masonry, such as we understand it, was pre-eminently an African craft. This subject requires considerable detailed information and space will not permit the answer here. Is the wife of Harry Wills, the Negro heavyweight, a white woman? I saw her picture in the paper recently on board ship with her husband and she seems rather fair. W. L. T., Cleveland, Ohio. Mrs. Wills is a colored woman. Was the science of mechanics well-known to the ancient Egyptians? H. W., Fulton, Ky. The science of mechanics was indeed well-known to the Egyptians and many phases beter known to them than to moderns. The secrets of lifting enormous weights, moving mammoth stones, drilling into granite, etc., are but a few in which they excel even us of today. WHITE STUDENTS CHEER PLEA FOR FAIR PLAY No address delivered at the recent Y. M. C. A. Student Conference at Blue Ridge, N.

Addressing hundreds of white students from southern colleges, Mrs. Bethune made a powerful plea for better understanding and fair dealing between the races, declaring that the people of her race are asking no special favors, but only the rights and opportunities to which every American citizen is entitled—the right of life, liberty, protection, education; the right to develop and achieve. "In asking for these rights," said Mrs. Bethune, "the Negro is not trying to be white. He only wants a fair chance in the race of life, that he may be his own best." The address was received with prolonged applause; many of the students crowded forward to express their appreciation of the address and all spoke of it in the highest terms. WAR ON CHILD LABOR (Columbia Press Bureau) WASHINGTON, August 14—The President of the American Federation of Labor is having distributed to all all union workers a pamphlet entitled "Child Labor." The purpose is to rally sufficient support to the national child labor constitutional amendment to force its approval. The pamphlet shows that "over 1,000,000 children from 10 to 16 years of age are working in the United States in factories, mills, canneries, mines, farms and other occupations. Nearly 400,000 of them are less than 14 years of age. More than 400,000 of the million children at work between 10 and 15 are in non-agricultural occupations." Mr. Green claims that twelve countries have at least the fourteen year minimum and that the United States has no national standard or legislative provision to give its children protection against exploitation. Slightly more than 317,000 or nearly 30 per cent of these children are colored, about 85 per cent of whom are employed in agricultural work. FLOGGING OF NEGRO CAUSE New York, Aug. 14—Application for the formation of a new branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has come from Hardeeville, South Carolina, as the consequence of the flogging of a colored man by a crowd of whites in that section. The colored man, Joe Jackson, was taken from Hampton county and brought to Hardeeville, where he was lodged in the jail by the town marshall, without the authority of the country from which the colored man was taken, according to the report sent to the N. A. A. C. P. The colored man was placed in jail on Saturday night and on Sunday he was taken out and severely beaten by a mob, "no one knowing the cause of his arrest." The letter reporting this occurrence concludes: "We as a race would like to be connected with this association (N. A. A. C. P.) in order that brutal treatment to colored people might be stopped." The necessary literature has been sent to Hardeville and reports from there state that the organization of a branch of the N. A. A. C. P. is under way. Perpetual motion is re-invented about three times in every two years.
