RHINE.ANDER SUING WIFE; ADMITS LYING Sensational Statement Sprung by Sweet Defenses Startles Spectators LIFTING :: :: :: :: LIFT TOO $2.00 a Year—5c a Copy RHINE Sensation KIP RHINELANDER WANTED ALICE FOR HIS PARAMOUR Attorney for Defense Secures Damning Admission That He Courted Girl with Other Intention Than Marriage WITNESS ADMITS THAT HE LIED Knowingly Signed Five False Statements in Bill of Particulars—Wife's Relatives Brought to His Attention White Plains, N. Y.—The attorneys for Leonard Kip Rhinelander, who is suing his wife, Alice Jones Rhinelander, for annulment of the marriage on the grounds that she concealed from him the fact that she belonged to the Negro race but represented herself as being "pure white", have attempted to-prove that he was the helpless victim of a designing woman. The defendant is now having her day in court and her attorneys are proving, by Rhinelander, himself, that he was the pursuer and ardent woeer of this servant girl, whom he wanted not as his wife, but as his paramour, that he persuaded her to go to the fashionable hotel with him where they spent a week, registered as man and wife, prior to their marriage, and that he had lied and been guilty of perjury when he swore to and signed a bill of particulars in which it was stated that they had discussed the question of his fiancee's color. Here is a tabulation of the events of the trial on Tuesday: 1. From the witness stand Kip reviewed a procession of the dark-skinned relatives of Alice Jones Rhinelander and declared that the sight of them had never roused a suspicion concerning the color of his wife. 2. Asserting that he was suing of his own volition, he admitted turning over more than $238,000 in securities to Leon Jacobs, personal counsel for his father, Philip Rhinelander. 3. Shown the bill of particulars supporting the annulment action, he confessed to signing FIVE FALSE STATEMENTS in the FOUR paragraphs. 4. Confronted by ten letters and a telegram to his wife before their marriage he admitted that he was the PURSUER and she the PURSUED in their romance and that his primary object was NOT MARRIAGE. Finally, a minute before adjournment, Lee Parsons Davis, the lank lawyer for Mrs. Rhinelander, whirled on him and demanded: "Are you a free agent in this action?" The witness hesitated, then stuttered in a low tone: "Yes, I am." Again, the attorney thrust at him: "You don't think Jacobs here will prevent you doing as you see fit in your own law suit?" Will Follow Orders The youth answered warily: "If advised, I'll follow his orders." Then came the interrogation that the inquisitor hoped might send the whole case tumbling to the floor: "But do you really want to proceed with this law - suit?" Exhausted by six hours' raking examination, Rhinelander hesited again and his eyes roved the room unsteadily, but he mumbled the response: "I do." "Asked when he first doubted Mrs. Rhinelander was white, he declared it was when he read the newspapers after their marriage, but this did not prevent them living as man and wife until the very day he fled from her alley home. Then Lee Davis abruptly ordered Alice to stand up beside him at the end of the table, facing her husband. She rose quietly, tears filling her eyes, and gazed at Kip as the lawyer demanded: "She didn't look any different when you woofed her in 1921, 1922, 1923 and 1924 than she does now?" Never Questioned Color Stammering, the bridegroom admitted she did not. Had he ever questioned Alice or anyone else about her color before marriage? No, he was sure he had not. Then Davis fluttered the bill of particulars in the suit before him and made him read the paragraph in which he _swore_ that when Emily, sister of his wife, married a black man, Rhinelander introduced the THE MONITOR MEMBERS NATIONAL POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC CONFERENCE AT WHITE HOUSE.

This assertion, he admitted, was false. Why then did he swear to it? Because Jacobs told him. Was there anything else untrue in the four paragraphs? Rhinelander confessed that four other statements were false. These were that his wife's representations that she was white were made orally, that no copies of the representations could be furnished, that Mrs. Rhinelander had repeatedly falsified to him and that he made inquiries as to her color when Emily married Brooks, the colored Butter. While the witness was still impaled on these points, Davis directed Emily Brooks to rise and the plump, personable quadron obeyed, grinning widely into Rhinelander's face. She is the darkest of all the Jones daughters, but the youth declared that the sight of her four years ago did not stir a suspicion of her ancestry in him. Then her husband, Robert, colored, rose beside her, blacker than any of the Jones clan. Again, Rhinelander asserted that Emily's marriage to him created no doubt of Alice's blood. Grace Faces Kip Grace rose next to face him, with the family smile spreading across her round cheeks. The suggestion stirred that this was a parade of dark wraths come to haunt the youth in the hour of direst need. George Jones, father-in-law of the Rhinelander sion, stood up next, and again the bridegroom repeated that the appearance of the man, or all of them, did not cause him to think the family colored. Color Question Up Under pressing interrogation, the youth asserted that time in 1924, before their marriage, he had no idea just when the color question came up between him and Alice four or five times. Then this trap was set and sprung on him: Q—You did not want to marry into a colored family or associate with colored folks or me on terms of intimacy with them, did you? A—No. Q—I show you postcards in what you admit to be your handwriting directed to Mr. and Mrs. Robert Brooks, in 1924, on which is written: “Dear Emily and Robert” and “Dear Em and Bob” and saying “Love to Roberta.” Now does not that indicate you were on terms of intimacy with Robert Brooks and his colored baby? A—Yes, it does. Q—Do you still say you did not wish to be on terms of intimacy with colored people? A—I can't answer that question. Q—But Brooks called you Len at your request and you called him Bob? A—Yes. Q—and you played cards with him? A—Yes. Says Brain Was Q. K. Q—Was your brain all right then? A—Yes. Q—Did you fall in love with Alice voluntarily? A—Yes, very soon after I met her in September, 1921, a couple of weeks after. Q—Were you pursuing her with honest marriage in view? A—No. Davis demanded details of Rhine-lander's courtship. Q—Innocent as you were, you held OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1925 A $50,000 Defense Fund Being Raised MEMBERS NATIONAL POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC CONFERENCE AT WHITE HOUSE. her hand, didn't you, knowing that it was different from a handshake? A—Yes. Q—Ever put your arm around her? A—Yes. Q—Ever kiss her? A—Yes. Q—What else is there to learn about making love? Rhinelander refused to answer. "Come, tell us about your love making," urged Davis. "I want to see how far advanced you are. You took her around in your auto, you held her hand, put an arm around her, kissed her, now tell us what else you did to that little girl they claim snared you." Ultimately the details came, beginning mildly enough, then slipping into the unprintable. Rhinelander acknowledged that he had planned to undermine the moral opposition of Alice and compel her surrender. He just played with her, he admitted stammeringly. New York—There has been a country-wide response to the appeal of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People for a $50,000 Legal Defense Fund. Two branches of the N. A. A. C. P. have given $1,000 each. Those branches are Cleveland and Philadelphia, the latter's president, Isadore Martin bringing a thousand dollar check in person to the National office. In addition, Julian St. George White, secretary of the Philadelphia Branch a check for $50. Among the first individuals to respond to the appeal for funds was Representative Leonidas C. Dyer, of Missouri, sponsor of the Anti-Lynching Bill, whose check for $50 was accompanied by a note reading: "To help in the fight for justice." The Washington Branch of the National Association has sent in an additional check for $200.65 bringing its total contribution to date up to $880.15 and the Chicago Branch, through its secretary, Morris Lewis, telegraphs "Defense fund now $500, goal $5,000 for Chicago.

Fifty thousand dollars are being sought to assist the Negro in gaining the rights which the conviction of Dr. Sweet would endanger. 300 Letters to Alice Rhinelander admitted writing 300 letters to Alice, at a rate of three a day. He admitted writing on October 28, 1921, a month after their meeting, urging her to attend the marriage of his sister, Adelaide, to Julian St. John Shackno in St. Thomas' church, and repeating the invitation later. WHITE AND COLORED WORKERS COMBINE New 'Orleans, La.—(By the Associated Negro Press) Amalgamation of the white and colored longshoremen, who have been on strike for the past two years was consumed Sunday, when the two organizations by an unanimous vote decided to join hands in an effort to win better wages and conditions generally. Hereafter the two organizations will meet as one body, with Kerry Keagan, white, as president, and Mose Johnson, late president of the Negro longshoremen, as vice-president. ver Branch writes that Denver is sending $200 and V. D. Turner telegraphs that the St. Paul Branch is sending $375. New Haven has sent $50; Toledo, $446.57; Portland, Oregon, $71.90; Princeton, $50; Richmond, Ind., $50; and Connellsville, Pa., $25.

The business-like way in which they handle their local affairs bespeaks great public careers for them upon their graduation. A typical illustration of the progress these sterling young men and women are making is found in Beta Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi. Earl B. Dickerson, Grand Polemarch of this organization, recently visited this chapter to learn, at first hand, just what the boys were doing. He found that they have, among themselves, raised sufficient funds to purchase a palatial chapter house, that they have remodelled this home on the strict college fraternity plan, adding a dormitory that will accommodate thirty young men; that all the members of this chapter are living in the home and managing their own affairs with the same pre Washington, D. C.—(By the Associated Negro Press) That the Negro is not receiving a "square deal" in law enforcement and in the government service was voiced by Bishop A. J. Carey of Chicago presiding officer of the Race Conference held here this week, which considered the President and leaders of the party in control of the government directly responsible for failure to ameliorate conditions. The bishop said: "The Negro voter will never understand continuance of discrimination under the civil service in a Republican Administration. He is bitter in various sections, because of sharp discrimination in extension of rural credits. He feels keenly the need of assignment of Negro educational experts to national educational tasks, particularly in the South. Give to the Community Chest! Still to go.....23,977.40 Commenting on the results to date, James Weldon Johnson, National Association secretary said: "The country-wide response to the appeal for funds to fight for the Negro's fundamental citizenship rights is most encouraging. With these funds we hope to win the Detroit case. But that case is only the most dramatic one of many we have to fight. The Washington Segregation case is no less important. Colored people should know that in the Washington case, the eminent counsel associated with the attorneys for the plaintiffs, Messrs. Moorfield Storey, Louis Marshall, Arthur B. Spingar and Herbert K. Stockton are giving their services absolutely without compensation. For that reason only the Washington case will cost less than the very expensive Detroit fight, but the incidental expenses such as printing, will nevertheless be heavy. There is crying need for every cent that anyone has to give. The enthusiastic response to the N. A. A. C. P. appeal shows that both white and colored people are aware of the critical moment." cision as the most select clubs are managed.

In this way they are forestalling possible failures and improving the scholarship of the organization. STABS COLORED BOY TO DEATH El Dorado, Ark.—(By the Associated Negro Press) E. P. Hall, 18-year-old white boy, is held in jail here, charged with first degree murder as a result of the stabbing to death of Ernest Wood, a colored employee. Hall, the white boy explains that he did not mean to kill Wood, although they had been arguing. Other employees state that Hall was running around the plant of the Ritchie Grocery Company looking for Wood. Please be ready to pay your subscription when the collector for The Monitor calls.

H. Sweet and 10 other Negroes, has telegraphed the following last minute report on the progress of the trial; "End of second week of trial finds prosecution's case almost finished. Witness after witness has been forced into damaging contradictions by merciless cross-examination of Darrow and Hays. three of prosecution's witnesses have through Darrow's questioning admitted they saw persons throwing stones at Sweet home just before shots were fired. "The outlook is good but are far from being out of the woods. There is urgent need of immediate funds for payment heavy costs including attorney fees, payment of investigators, payment for daily transcript alone averages over $150 per day. Public sentiment changing in our favor and general opinion that counsel for defense is most eminent array of attorneys even seen in a Michigan count." The Detroit City-Wide Committee, raising funds in cooperation with the N. A. A. C. P., has paid $400 to each of the three colored attorneys in the case. ANGLO-SAXON CLUB PROTESTS CONCERT AT HAMPTON Hampton, Va.—(By the Associated Negro Press) Objection to the spirit of Hampton Institute which lies dormant in the breasts of many whites in this section flared into a nasty flame Monday when the infamous Anglo-Saxon Club, which gained some notoriety some months ago by criticising the practice of "social equality" at Hampton, took exception to a recital to be given in the Institute auditorium by the glee club of the University of North Carolina because the colored and white members of the audience were expected to sit together. The glee club gave its concert despite the protest which was made to the governor of North Carolina. GETS PORTION OF ESTATE Texarkana, Ark.,—(By the Associated Negro Press) Ned Brooks, 62, has been awarded a judgment of $50,000 against the estate of the late J. H. Herndon. Herndon was 82 when he died. In the suit filed by Brooks, it is stated that the plaintiff had worked for the deceased defendant for nearly fifty years without pay and that it was with the understanding that if Herndon died, Brooks was to get the estate. Shortly before he died, Herndon discovered oil on his farm property, and his wealth grew to nearly one million dollars. He left it to near relatives and Brooks contested the will. As soon as the suit was filed, $60,000,000 in a local bank was attached. ST. PHILIP'S EPISCOPAL CHURCH A large congregation was present Sunday morning.

The packed courtroom was stunned and electrified. "We shall prove," said Hays, "that a Detroit policeman fired the bullet that killed Breiner. The direction from which the bullet entered his body is sufficient proof that it could not have come from the upper window in the home of Dr. Ossian H. Sweet, as indicated by the prosecution. The man who fired this shot is from Tennessee. We will show in this connection that fully one quarter, over 500 men, of all the Detroit police force are southerners, and we will prove the animosity of Detroit police assigned to guard the home of the Negro physician towards members of the colored race." "We shall also prove that the state of mind of the defendants barricaded in their home, caused by the treatment, that Negroes had received not only in the South, but also in the North would have justified the defendant in shooting." The state concluded the presentation of its witnesses Saturday. Effort was made by the state to prove a conspiracy upon the part of Dr. Ossian H. Sweet and his co-defendants to commit murder; but the grilling cross-examination of the witnesses by Clarence Darrow, seems to have clearly disproved this by the state's own witnesses and showed that there was conspiracy and threats upon the part of the Waterworks Improvement association to use force if necessary to keep colored residents out of that community. Mr. Darrow forced some of the witnesses to admit that the Waterworks Improvement Association was formed for the express purpose of driving Negro residents from the neighborhood. In the opening days of the trial the state attempted to show that Dr. Sweet's home was under adequate police protection. If it was Darrow clearly proved by his cross-examination of Police Lieutenant Schellenberger that Dr. Sweet did not know of this protection. The officer admitted that neither he nor any of his men had communicated with Dr. Sweet. He admitted that he did not go to the house until after the shooting when he said he asked them: "What in hell are you fellows shooting about?" In his direct testimony Schellenberger said he noticed only a few persons around the Sweet residence on the night of the shooting, probably 50. By patient work Darrow made him admit there were 150 and finally 200. Schellenberger said when he entered the Sweet home he found only one small stone on the floor and some clothing and that was all. "Why didn't you tell about that?" "Why didn't you ask me?" "Oh, I intended asking you. Don't worry about that." Heard Windows Broken Edward Wettlanger, white, a witness for the state, admitted that he heard the sounds of stones striking Dr. Sweet's house and the sound of broken glass falling a minute before Breiner was killed. Darrow took out his watch and referring to Wettlanger's testimony that the glass was broken a minute before the shooting, asked him to make a signal when he thought a minute had passed. Wettlanger squirmed for 30 seconds and gave the signal. (Continued on Page 2) (Special to The Monitor.) "Was there any broken glass?" "Yes."

CHARLES C. BELDEN IN the sudden death Tuesday afternoon of Charles C. Belden, one of the city's pioneer merchants, Omaha loses the earthly presence of one of her foremost citizens and hundreds of people in all walks of life a sincere and warmhearted friend. Mr. Belden was one of those wholesome sweet characters whom to meet was an inspiration and a delight. He was a kindly, cordial Christian gentleman. Void of sham and hypocrisy he always rang true. Catholic-minded in his sympathies he loved his fellowmen, irrespective of race or creed. His sudden passing befitted his life. Active and energetic, despite his more than three score and ten years, the Master called and he was ready to depart. It is such men as Charles C. Belden, characters all too rare, who reveal to us human nature at its best and show the real nobility of man. AN UNUSUAL INCIDENT THE village of Mays Landing, New Jersey, and, incidentally, the United States of America, received a wonderful revelation recently. A Negro by the name of John Wesley Underwood, the sole representative of his race among its 2,500 population died. He had lived quietly and unobtrusively in the village conducting a small candy store, generously patronized by the children, whom he loved and by whom he was loved for his kindness and friendiness. Upon his death it was learned that he had bejeuathed $100,000 to the village to be used in education al and recreational advantages for the children of the town. Like Enoch Arden's "the village never saw a grander funeral." All eulogized the philanthropic spirit shown by Underwood and declared that he had opened their eyes and taught his fel low villagers a wonderful lesson by which they hoped to profit. Unmindful of him as they had been he had not been unmindful of them and their children and of their needs. We cannot but wonder how far reaching will be the influence of John Underwood's benefaction to the village which he claimed as home. It ought to be far reaching. UNANIMITY OF SENTIMENT THE unanimity of sentiment of the race press on the Sweet case is strikingly significant. It shows the awakening of a racial consciousness which recognizes the fact that we, as a racial group, are facing a serious crisis in the United States which must be fearlessly with a united front. There is the recognition of the sobering fact that we have a battle on our hands, not one that we have sought, but one that has been forced upon us. It is a defensive battle to determine and protect our status as citizens. This is the light in which the race press regards it. Editorial sentiment is unanimous in asserting that Dr. Sweet did the right thing in repelling the attack by a mob upon his home. They regret that this necessity was forced upon him, but they are proud of the fact that he met it like a man and refused to run like a cringing coward. The press truly interprets the growing spirit of determination upon the part of our people to defend our homes from lawless THE NEGRO'S CONTRIBU A moment's thought will persons that the contribution nationality as slave, freedom negligible.

Moder 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 chessiest heritages of this land. Finally the Negro has played a popular 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."

Our people, as law-abiding citizens, do not want to have to protect themselves, but when the authorities fail to grant us protection, there is one of two things which we can do, either run like cowards, or fight like men, and if we do not misread the signs of the times, the second alternative will be the one from now on, most generally chosen. "For how can men die better than by fearing fearful odds For the hearthstone of their fathers, for the, altar, of their gods? ACHILLES' HEEL YOU know the story, do you not? It comes to us from the Greek mythology. Thetis, his mother, so the fable goes, in order to make him invulnerable, dipped Achilles, soon after his birth, in the River Styx. In doing this she held him by the heel. This one spot by which the mother held her infant son was protected from the magical water of the river and so while he was invulnerable in every other part of his body, this one small spot was his vulnerable place. He could be wounded in no place but this small, apparently insignificant, out-of-the way spot on his heel. However, in a battle, the shaft from an archer's bow wounded him in this little spot and from that wound he died. The lesson taught is very plain. It is this, that every mortal has his vulnerable spot in which he may be mortally wounded as to his moral character, which fact should make all men look charitably upon the faults of others, knowing that they them selves are neither infallible nor invulnerable. Remember the fable of Achilles heel. UNEMPLOYMENT "CAN you get me a job?" This is the question that has been put to us several times lately by reliable men out of a job but anxious to work. We have had to answer the question in the negative. These frequent queries have forced upon our attention the fact that there are hundreds of men out of work. What is the matter with industrial conditions that there is such a scarcity of work? With unemployment so general the outlook for the winter is not encouraging. Those who are employed should be grateful and do all in their power to keep their jobs by promptness and dependability for jobs are scarce. NO TIME TO FIDDLE "Now is the time for all good men,"—well listen folks. The Sweet case in Detroit marks an epoch in the life of Colored America. The decision of this case—which has not arrived when this is written—will be as historical as the Dred Scott Decision; editors, from observation, have sensed this, and are not only properly playing up the story for the news value it gives, but are shaping their editorial coment in a way that demonstrates fitting comprehension of the significance. Clarence Darrow of Chicago, enters that small group of humanitarians, along with Garrison, Sunner, Phillips, Brown, Lovejoy, Parker and their contemporaries. There has never been a case like it before; let us pray God, there will never be one like it again. Darrow identified with the case adds to the na- CUTTION NOT NEGLIGIBLE I will easily convince open-minded man of the Negro to American man and citizen was far from american life has so subtly and warp and woof of our thinking negro.

CLERKS IN STEWART'S SEED SHOP Stewart's Seed and Flower Shop, or Sixteenth street opposite the Postoffice is one of the very few stores that has for a long time given employment to colored people in a clerical capacity, as well as in other departments. For many years Miss Irene Cochran was employed by the Stewart's and it was a pleasant sight to see her with the other employees waiting upon customers. Miss Gertrude Dysart has been employed in the same capacity for the past two years. A representative of the Monitor was in the store Tuesday for a few minutes and noticed three on four customers, among the foremost white ladies of the city, who without the slightest hesitation and as a matter of course went to Miss Dysart for their purchases and were courteously waited on by her. The Monitor asked Miss Dysart if customers ever resented her waiting on them. She replied that occasionally, and that quite rarely, some customer, generally of the porter class, declined to have her wait on them. Mr. Charles Stewart said, "Many of our best customers seem to prefer to have Gertrude wait on them." What Stewart's Seed and Flower Shop does, other stores which enjoy a good patronage of the best people could do, if they only had the moral courage to do it, and that is give work as clerks and saleswomen to some of our capable and cuteous young women. The Omaha Braith of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People met Sunday afternoon at the North Side Branch of the Y. W. C. A. at 4 o'clock for the election for the ensuing year. The following officers were chosen: Rev. John Albert Williams, president; Milton L. Hunter, vice-president; the Rev. Russell Taylor, secretary and H. L. Anderson, treasurer. The five following persons were elected members of the executive committee: Henry W. Black, Rev. J. A. Harris, Mrs. W. Peebles, W. N. McAllaster and William Hall, leaving four vacancies on the executive committee to be filled later. The executive committee met Monday night at the Colored Commercial club and organized by the election of Henry W. Black as chairman. Chairmen of committees were also chosen as follows: Membership, Rev. J. A. Harris; Press and Publicity, Rev. Russel Taylor; Meetings, Mrs. W. W. Peebles; Grievance, W. N. McAllaster. The election of chairmen of the Legal Redress Committee and Education were deferred. It was decided to hold a mass meeting at an early date in December to raise money for the $50,000 Legal Defense Fund that the Nationan orice needs for the Sweet defense, the anti segregation cases and like matters which are demanding attention. WORKERS' COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION The Workers' Community Association is persistently calling to service men and women of the working class in Omaha and vicinity. We are organized, not to fight other racial, or any other group or groups, or individuals, but organized to study our Industrial, Social, Political, and Economic rights. We realize the seriousness of the affair and we have dedicated our all in all to the cause. We know that out of this organization will come a new era, and when that day comes we the working-class must be prepared to present the right man at the right hour to champion our cause, hence we are calling for the unorganized men and women to organize. Mr. Walter L. Seals, twenty years an employee in the department of Agriculture will address the Workers Community Association on Tuesday night, Nov. 24th in K. P. Hall, north 24th and Burdette streets. Subject, "Essentials of organization." Milton L. Hunter, organizer ATTY. W. C. MATTHEWS PAYS OMAHA A BRIEF VISIT Attorney William C. Matthews of Boston, Mass., recently appointed special assistant to the United States Attorney General, enroute to the east from Lincoln, Nehr., where he had been sent on official business for the government, spent a few busy hours in Omaha last Wednesday. Arriving shortly before 4 o'clock, he was taken to the Colored Commercial Club rooms where he addressed a gathering of business and professional men hastily summoned for the occasion. Doubtless, many others would have been present had not their business and other engagements prevented or had a longer notice been given. It was not until 2 o'clock Wednesday when an effort to reach several persons by telephone for this meeting at 4 o'clock was made. Upon such short notice it was impossible for many to be present who would like to have been. Mr. Matthews, who is close to the administration, having headed the national Colored Republican campaign bureau which was handled so successfully made a favorable impression by his clear statements concerning the administration policy towards our people which is causing much impatience. The sum total of his remarks was that Coolidge is fundamentally sound touching the claims of all American citizens and is moving as rapidly in the amelioration of conditions affecting our own group as the situation will permit. Mr. Matthews left shortly after midnight for Washington. COLORED DOCTORS VOTE New York,—Dr. W. G. Alexander, of Orange, N. J. President-elect of the National Medical Association, has informed that the colored doctors have unanimously voted to ask their entire membership to contribute to the $50,000 Legal Defense Fund being raised by the N. A. A. C. P. This action has come about not only by reason of the defense of Dr. O. H. Sweet in Detroit, undertaken by the N. A. A. C. P. but inasmuch as many of the victims of mob attempts at segregation have been colored doctors of standing. On Oct. 25, a group of seven doctors met at the home of Dr. J. P. Turner, in Philadelphia, the group, besides Dr. Alexander, including: Dr. G. W. Bowles, York, Pa., chairman of the Executive Committee of the National Medical Association; Dr. J. P. Turner, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee; Dr. E. C. Brown, Washington, D. C., representing Dr. Clyde Donnell, General Secretary N. M. A.; Dr. C. P. McClendon, New Rochelle, N. Y., Assistant Secretary; and Dr. R. M. Fowler, Atlantic City. Dr. R. C. Brown was designated secretary. The seven doctors decided to place the matter of assisting the N. A. A. C. P. Legal Defense Fund by establishing at once a fund of $5,000, and that a general committee be appointed, to solicit and collect the fund. This plan has now received the unanimous endorsement of the Executive Board of the N. M. A. A disbursing committee has been nominated to cooperate with the N. A. A. C. P. as follows; Dr. W. G. Alexander, New Jersey; Dr. C. P. McClendon, New York Dr. R. M. Fowler, New Jersey; Dr. G. W Bowles and Dr. J. P.Turner of Pennsylvania Dr. E. P. Roberts of New York has been nominated for treasurer of the fund HIGH SCHOOL GRID MAN STARS York, Nehr.—(By the Associated Negro Press) Great preparations are being made by the high school of this town for Fremont which plays here Saturday. The cause of concern is Jack Herndon, half-back on the Fremont team, who this year has brought about the defeat of every team, except Omaha Central, which Fremont has played. He is said to be the finest open field runner in the state. WOMAN CONFESSES LIE Chicago, Ill.—(By the Associated Negra Press) Mrs. Ruth Irene Davis, white, cashier in an exclusive restaurant, was placed on probation for a year in municipal court here, when she confessed that she and not a colored bandit had stolen $87 from the cash register. She claimed that she took the money to support her 5-year old daughter. Liberia On The Lap of The Gods Liberia, after all these years, may be the means of helping to eradicate some of the evils of American color prejudice. Hard upon the announcement that the Firestones are to spend $100,000000 in he little African republic developing rubber, comes the announcement from the Phelps-Stokes Fund of an immediate co-operative program in education, health, and general welfare development. It is announced that the welfare will dovetail in with the commercial and agricultural. The Associated Negro Press, some weeks ago, gave a forecast of this fact. Time may come when it will be as popular for Colored Americans to be seeking passports to Liberia as it is for White Americans today seeking passage to Florica. With the immigration law on, and Negro labor at a premium, perhaps economic white America will wake up and say: "Let's stop our foolish race hat red." ebster 4243 OLD LAW PUTS WHOLE TOWN IN DANGER OF JAIL New Brunswick, N. J.—(By the Association Negro Press) Between 7,000 and 10,000 residents of Middlesex County had their names handed to Prosecutor Joseph E. Stricker here Monday as law violators. Anyone who walked anywhere Sunday except to church, who bought a newspaper, tobacco, meals, trolley rides, gasoline, or in fact anything else, is eligible to appear on the list of offenders. So, too, are those who sold anything. The law under which the offenses were committed is known as the vice and immorality act, passed in colonial times and lately forgotten except by blue law advocates who unearthed it to force the closing of theaters on Sunday. Rare Snake Found Vermilion, S. D.—A small snake, red striped, uncovered in a Vermilion street when excavation was being done for the laying of water pipes, was pronounced a western milk snake, a species exceedingly rare in this section. It is only the fifth specimen of the kind to be found in the state, according to Mr. Ovr, who says it is nonpoisonous. Tosses Baby From Fire Stoughton.—Tossed by his mother from the second-story window of their burning cottage to the outstretched arms of his father on the ground below, two-year-old Herbert Carney of 43 Emerson street, South Boston, was the only one to escape injuries when fire destroyed their summer home on the shore of Glen Echo lake, forcing seven vacationists to leap from upper windows.

Webster 6323 QUALITY AND PALATABILITY IN MEAT SUBJECT OF STUDY Experimental Work to Be Conducted in Twenty-Nine State Agricultural Experiment Stations. Chicago.—Plans of procedure for a national study to determine the factors responsible for quality and palatability in meat have been definitely mapped out by a special committee of five live stock and meat specialists headed by Dean F.

Sheets, chief of the animal husbandry division, bureau of animal industry, United States Department of Agriculture, secretary; Prof. M. D. Helser, chief in meat investigation, Iowa agricultural experiment station; Prof. H. J. Gramilch, animal husbandman, Nebraska agricultural experiment station, and Dr. Dean F. B. Mumford. C, Robert Moulton, director of the department of nutrition, Institute of American Meat Packers. The experimental work decided upon by the committee will be carried out by 29 state agricultural experiment stations. It will include experiments on feeding, breeding, methods of slaughtering, methods of cooking and other phases of the subject. The study is sponsored by the National Live Stock and Meat board, an organization interested in extensive research and education regarding meat. Experimental stations co-operating with the board are Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Minnesota, New Mexico, New Jersey, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oregon, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Missouri, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming and New Hampshire. Head Hunting in Luzon New York.—"I was surprised and somewhat disappointed to learn when I reached the Philippines that head-hunting tribes had given up their ancient pastime under persuasion of American officials," declared Alvin Coombe, who recently has been around the world with his family.

PAGE FOUM ing had its greatest vogue, told me they had changed their habits by teaching them American sports. "A successful collector of skulls enjoyed the same prestige in his community as a successful collector of home runs on an American baseball team. "It was sound reasoning, and I think it could be applied in other parts of the world where half-civilized peoples who have no sports amuse themselves and reveal the competitive spirit in feuds and prolonged murder tournaments. "I think the most attractive part of the new school of recreation to the savage is the gallery his games attract. When he hunted heads he hunted alone. He gets more kicks from the cheers of the spectators at the games than from the deferred praise for a successful head hunt."
