No. 44 FARM CONFERENCE CALLED BY HARDING TO CONVENE MONDAY (Associated Negro Press) (Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C., Jan. 20. — The third notable conference which has been called by the president assemblies in Washington January 23. This conference will be composed of between 200 and 300 conferees representing the agricultural interests of the country and interests closely affiliated with agriculture and dependent upon it. President Harding issued the call for this meeting after consultation with Secretary of Agriculture Wallace has left the selection of the personnel with Wallace. The purpose of the conference as indicated in the president's statement is two-fold. It will give immediate consideration to the agricultural troubles, which are very serious, even though they are temporary, and which can be remedied by quick and effective action. In addition to this it will take a more deliberate survey of the great policies affecting the industry of agriculture, such as the co-ordination of the agricultural, manufacturing and general business interests, with a view to putting agriculture upon such a basis that never again will it be confronted with the distressing emergencies which have all but rendered it prostrate during the past 12 to 18 months. In order that this may be done more effectively, it is understood that the personnel of the conference will include not only members of farm organiaztions, commissioners of agriculture, prominent farmers and stock growers, but will also include representatives of the packing industry, implement manufacturers and dealers, bankers whose interests are located largely in agricultural sections, grain dealers, elevator men, railroads and any other activity which comes in close contact with the farming communities and interests. The president truly stated in his call for the conference that the agricultural depression which marked the year just closed could not have been avoided. But that fact does not indicate that steps cannot be taken to reorganize agriculture, so to speak, in order that similar conditions may never occur again. In calling the conference the president has but followed his precedent in calling the conference last year to consider the problem of unemployment and his calling the conference to discuss limitation of armaments for the purpose of promoting world peace and reducing the terrific burdens of taxations. Co-operation is the keynote of the Harding administration, which is on record as believing that more can be accomplished by friendly counsel and exchange of ideas than by any other method. Whatever program this conference decided upon will undoubtedly have the influence of the administration and the congress back of it to put it into effect. To Our Readers No person is in a better position to know the attitude of the business concerns of a community than the one who solicits the advertisements and comes in personal contact with the heads of the business concern. When the advertisement of a business firm is carried in the Tribune, it not only serves as an announcement of the special prices or the line of goods handled by that concern, but it is a Direct Invitation to members of the race to patronize the business place; further, it is assurance of fair and courteous treatment. Go Where You Are Invited LONE MAN CAPTURES NOTORIOUS GUNMAN IN PHILADELPHIA LONE MAN CAPTURES NOTORIOUS GUNMAN IN PHILADELPHIA (Associated Negro Press) Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 20.—Luther Boddy, Negro, alleged slayer of two New York detectives was captured in South Philadelphia. He was seized as the result of a tip furnished Amos Scott, a Negro magistrate. Scott captured Boddy single-handed. He entered the bed room where Boddy was asleep with his gun beneath his pillow and forced him to put on his trousers. Scott and a policeman then walked Boddy barefooted over snow-covered sidewalks to the nearest police station. The tip came to Scott indirectly from the owner of the house where Boddy had come seeking a room. Scott telephoned the police station. Only one police was available. So Scott went with him. On the way he obtained a revolver. At the house the policeman remained on the first floor as a guard while Scott went to Boddy's room and flung open the door. Boddy awoke. Scott raised his revolver and shouted: "Lie still or I'll riddle you with bullets." Boddy reached his hand toward the pillow. Scott advanced pressing the gun forward and commanded the prisoner to remain still. Then he reached beneath the pillow and pulled out Boddy's pistol, his "sure death gun." ELEVATOR OPERATOR INVENTS MOUSE TRAP WORTH SMALL FORTUNE ELEVATOR OPERATOR INVENTS MOUSE TRAP WORTH SMALL FORTUNE (Associated Negro Press) New York City, N. Y., Jan. 20.—Allen Dixon, a Negro, fifty-seven years old, who drives the elevator in an apartment store in Nashville, Tenn., seems to be in a fair way to change his vehicle for a motor car and perhaps a chauffeur as a result of a little imagination. To most persons bailing wire is simply wire, but to Dixon, looking at all the rusty wire going to waste from bales of hay shipped into Nashville, rusty wire was rat traps. He pulled some wire off a bale, experimented with it—and got a patent. Hart and Hart are negotiating for permission to sell the patent right. Mr. Hardy admits that Dixon will probably make a lot of money. He is said to have received already an offer of $25,000 in cash, or $5,000 down and 5 cents royalty on every trap sold. Dixon said he patented his trap last July. Just to show how much rats liked it, he said, he entered two in a competition at the Commercial Club in Nashville, and in one night caught twenty-six rats in the big one and fifteen in the small one. Only one other trap entered caught any rats, and that got only one. Dixon said he had other inventions that ought to pay him better than this one. He did not know whether he would keep his job after he got his money, but he would have to do something for he had worked too long to be able to quit. NEGRO PAGEANT WILL BE GIVEN IN NEWARK JAN. TWENTY SIXTH NEGRO PAGEANT WILL BE GIVEN IN NEWARK JAN. TWENTY SIXTH (Associated Negro Press) Newark, N. J. Jan. 20.-The Negro pagen that was presented with such marked success in New York at Carnegie Hall last November, is to be given in Newark, at Krueger's Auditorium on Thursday evening, January 26th, at 8 p. m. for the benefit of Atlanta University, with the co-operation of the Sojourner Truth Branch of the Newark Young Women's Christian Association. PHOENIX, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 21, 1922 MARCUS GARVEY NOW IN TOILS OF LAW. HELD ON SERIOUS CHARGE (Associated Negro Press) New York City, N. Y., Jan. 20.—Marcus Garvey's heralded plans for the colonization of Africa by means of a half dozen stock selling corporations caused his arrest on charges of using the mails to defraud. This proved a climax to a bizarre career that lifted the Colored man from obscurity to titles, hero worship, and wealth. Provisional president of the "Republic of Africa," guiding spirit of the Black Star line and other organizations, he was hailed in Harlem as a wizard. Specifically Garvey is accused as president of the Black Star line, of advertising and selling passage to Africa on a mythical vessel and that he used the mails to defraud in disposing of stock in the Black Star line. FRENCH GENERAL IS LOUD IN HIS PRAISE OF BLACK AMERICANS (Associated Negro Press) Paris, France, Jan. 20.—"An end must be put to this absurd legend of the inferiority of the black race. It is based solely on the tradition of slavery and is not at all flattering to the white races." So declares General Mangin, whose utterance is the most authoritative of those who have taken up advocacy of the cause of the blacks, following the winning of the Goncourt literary prize by the Martinique writer, Rene Maran. Mangin is the great champion of the black army theory, holding that only by training and arming her colonial subjects can France redress the balance in face of more populous Germany. Their fighting value, he proved in the war, for "Manager" Mangin's colonial army was always in the thick of the French offensives. The general gained his affection for the Colored races during the 20 years he spent in colonial military and administrative commands. He is not merely a soldier, but has considerable competence in literary talent, which gives weight to his remarks on culture among the Negro races. "There really is an intellectual elite among the blacks, whom liberty has introduced to our culture," he asserted in an interview. "And experience has demonstrated that this elite possesses the ability to excel in every domain of human activity." Chicago, Ill. Jan. 20.—The annual election of the Cook County Bar Association, at which officers for the forthcoming year were elected, was held at the Appomattox Club. Richard E.

The big fighter and his manager found many offers awaiting them. Portland promoters want Tate to meet Fred Fulton early next month, while New Orleans is anxious to rematch Tate with Wills. Billy Haak the Memphis promoter, wants to pit Tate against some worthy opponent, as does Jack Kanner of Denver, and Promoter Boyle of Omaha. Carr's promise to Gary promoters to show Tate is holding up acceptance of any one of the offers. Carr was loud in his praise for the fighter as a result of the Portland match. "Tate won the title by winning the first fight on a foul," Manager Carr said. "The referee was honest in his decision, but the crowd which had expected to see an interesting mill, was disappointed when the fight terminated in the first round. "I was asked by the promoters, for the good of the boxing game, to agree to a second match. This I did and Tate went into that fight with everything to lose and nothing to win. Needless to state he made a great hit with the crowd, who received him warmly as the Colored heavyweight champion of the world. DR. SCARBROUGH VISITS NATIONAL CAPITAL ON BUSINESS STRICTLY (Associated Negro Press) (Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C., ban. 20—Dr. W. S. Scarborough, formerly president of Wilberforce University at Xenia, Ohio, now serving as assistant economist in the Department of Agriculture is in Washington on business connected with this department. For several months past he has been maintaining temporary headquarters at Hampton Institute, Va., where he had held a number of important conferences with the Hampton professors, Negro farmers and other interested in agriculture from various parts of the country. Dr. Scarborough has been specially designated to represent the Department of Agriculture at the forthcoming annual Tuskegee Conference of Negro farmers to be held at Tuskegee Institute, Ala., beginning January 18, 1922. MASKED MEN SEIZE NEGRO Texarkana, Teras, Jan. 20.—Clarence Weatherby, Negro, was seized by masked men, under the gaze of a large theater crowd, spirited to some out of the way place and given a severe beating, because, he said he was told, "he had been fooling with a white woman." He was hit over the head with a pistol and knocked down before he was carried off. He was brought back to the office of a morning newspaper here, with instructions to tell what had occurred. PREACHER EDITOR HAS UNIQUE IDEAS ABOUT NEWSPAPERS (Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill., Jan. 20. — The Rev. Charles Monroe Sheldon, 64 years old, rosy, cordial, emphatic, lectured before the Medill School of Journalism on the American newspaper as he would have it. Twenty years ago, the editor of the Topeka Daily Capital gave Mr. Sheldon an opportunity for a week to make the Capital the kind of newspaper he (the dominie) thought Jesus would like. The experiment aroused much talk from end to end of the country. It did not establish any enduring precedent, nor could it in so brief a time. He talked to the Medillians along the lines and in reminiscence of his interesting experiment of twenty years ago. There was in what he said much practical sense and much that for a fallible and lively world seems purely idyllic. The audience gave him close heed for nearly an hour and a half. Here are detached specimen paragraphs: "The newspaper's report a great deal of crime. Well, the bible reports a great deal of crime. But the papers don't do it in the right way. The Bible's way is right. To David's adultery and murder it gives a few lines, but to the prophet's rebuke of David's crimes it gives several pages. "Same Important Now" "That was important. It would be important now—not the morbid and horrible details of the crime, to daily pour the contents of the gutter into your home, but the reason of the crime and the rebuke, the reason of the holdups, and the survey of social conditions that cause them. And all that not in the remote and occasional editorial, and emphatically, although briefly, right under the brief account of the crime. "I am for the signed editorial. It would add to the interest. I am for the signed news article too. It would make the reporter more careful about his facts and more choice about his facts and more choice about his English. I enforced this rule about signature that week in Topeka. It worked to the benefit of all concerned—all." METROPOLITAN INS., DOES NOT ENCOURAGE NEGRO INSURANCE RISK Vice President, Mr. Woodward, Urges Negroes To Organize Their Own Companies New York, Jan. 20.—That the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company does not encourage Negroes to take out policies in their institution has just been disclosed by Mr. Woodward, vice president of the company, in an interview with James H. Hubert, Executive Secretary of the New York Urban League. It is said that Mr. Woodward admitted that over 12 per cent of the company's policy holders are colored; stating that to employ colored agents would only stimulate more business among the race which is not desired. "The law forces us," said Mr. Woodward, "to give the same policies to Negroes we gave to whites, while the rating due to high mortality among Negroes is almost twice as great." Mr. Woodward did not hesitate to urge that Negroes organize their own companies instead of seeking policies with his company. This information was elicited from Mr. Woodward when Jas. H. Hubert of the New York Urban League called upon him and urged him to employ Negro collectors in Negro neighborhoods. Many Negroes throughout the country have taken offense at the statement by Mr. Woodward and a "strike" is threatened. Little Frank O'Neil, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ira O'Neil, is reported ill this week with pneumonia. He is being attended by Dr. W. C. Hackett. ATTORNEY GENERAL DOUGHERTY PROVES GREAT PHILOSOPHER (Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C., Jan. 20.—In addition to being a masterful politician, first class lawyer and a good fellow, Attorney General Dougherty has proved himself to be a philosopher. This is evidenced in his issuance recently of several whoelsome proverbs, seven of which follow: "If a man does the right thing, he will have the help and approval of those who know him and if he does not do the right thing, he doesn't deserve it." "The world never turns against a man until after he has turned against the world, and it is never too late to wake up." "A man owes society, his country and the world more than it owes him and more than he can ever pay." "If one has self-respect he will not go far wrong." "If one respects others he will do them no injury, either in person or property." "In this country one man has the same freedom and the same rights as another." "Every man owes the same degree of loyalty to his country and the same obligation to society." Attorney Daugherty concluded with: "Let us hold up our heads and be of good cheer. Let us love God and be grateful. Let us obey the laws of our country and let us obey the ten commandments." EMANCIPATION DAY IS CELEBRATED BY BLACKS IN RALEIGH (Associated Negro Press) Raleigh, N. C., Jan. 20.—The Emancipation Society of Raleigh, N. C., held its annual celebration January 2nd. More interest was shown by the people of the city in this meeting than has been shown for some time past. Professor W. S. Turner, Dean of Shaw University gave a masterly address on the "Further Emancipation of the Negro," calling attention to the needs of and the program for the social, economic and spiritual emancipation of the Negro. Professor Turner declared that these were necessary in order to complete the work so nobly begun by the immortal Lincoln. Mr. L. E. Graves, agency director Standard Life Insurance Company gave a Brilliant address on the Negro's position in the life of the nation, commenting briefly on the salient points of the problem, national and local before the race today. He said in part: "The American people are facing today in the Negro a developing race consciousness and an enlightening public opinion on the position of the Negro in the life of the nation." POPULAR HOSTLERY IS SOLD AT AUCTION FOR ONLY $145,000 POPULAR HOSTLERY IS SOLD AT AUCTION FOR ONLY $145,000 (Associated Negro Press) Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 20. — The Hotel Dale, which has been in the hands of receivers for some time past, was sold today at sheriff sale. After some spirited bidding on the part of many who wished to obtain control of the property, the hotel was bought in by receivers, Bishop Heard, Edward W. Henry, Mr. Netter. The hotel will continue to accommodate its patrons as formerly. It will be run by the receivers in the interest of stockholders, to whom it will be turned over in 60 days. The figure at which it was bid in by the receivers is said to be $145,000. 5 Cents a Copy; $2.50 a Year DEMOCRATIC MAYOR REWARDING BLACKS FOR SUPPORT GIVEN (Associated Negro Press) New York City,*N. Y., Jan. 20.—The biggest appointment of an able Colored citizen that has ever been made by a New York mayor was that of Ferdinand Q. Morton to be a civil service commissioner of New York City. The appointment was a partial recognition of the tremendous black vote which Mr. Morton as chief of the united Colored democracy had led into tammy hall at the last election and secondly a deserved recognition of one of the most able and popular democrats regardless of race in New York City. The appointment of Morton was to the place on the commission of the three guardians of the civil service held by Commissioner Killilea. The commission now consists of Commissioners Kaplan, Morton and Drennan, the last named a republican. His appointment means a great step forward for the Colored citizens in New York and a larger place for them in the city employe. It is generally believed that Morton would have been named a magistrate to succeed Judge Marcuso but the alternative was given him after another was named as the commission portfolio. Mr. Morton was born in Mississippi in 1882 and moved with his family at an early age to Washington where he attended and graduated from the public and high schools. He entered Harvard College after graduation and later finished Boston University Law School. He came to New York and entered actively in the practice of law and plunged into politics. His rise has been meteoric and deserved. It is not known as to who will be given Mr. Morton's place in the district attorney's office, but it is rumored that Attorney James McClendon will be given one of the deputy assistants. Alderman George W. Harris who was given his certificate and sworn in for his second term two weeks ago has taken his seat in the front rank of republicans at the Aldermanic Chamber. He was the recipient of many congratulations.

In the first place, the gathering got afraid to allow itself even to be called "disarmament", and called itself "limitation of arms",—or better and more ironical still, "the arms parley". That is what it is: an arms conference,—really trying to make a better and more economical arrangement of its arms, but by no means trying to get rid of them. It is as if thugs of rival gangs had gotten so weighted down trying to carry more guns and ammunition than their foes and had suddenly found the burden unbearable and got together to consider how they could effect a gentlemen's agreement" or some other such contract to burden themselves less,—to carry fewer guns, just enough to do the necessary killing with, for example. Then they could agree on a proportionate reduction, which would leave them IN STATU QUO ANTE. And they could effect this agreement as to heavy guns, which were so burdensome to them all,—but there was strong objection to any limitation on the use of their fine new types of very light guns which were so handy in ambushing and bush-whacking (submarines and war-planes). "The "civilizing" of the crime all looks toward the relief of the gangsters and not to the protection and security of the public. "War cannot be civilized. Murder cannot be reformed. War is murder, when one innocent man is made to kill any innocent stranger to him, or even his own friend, if that friend happens to disagree with some scheme of things about which both of them know little. "Who can make a nation, when it is fighting for its life, use submarines and air bombs respectably? The only reason why the Germans beat the English to the use of Zeppelins and poison gas, is that they had the Zeppelins and invented the gas first. No weapon is too terrible in a death struggle, if the weapon be in reach."

Already maned from the shock of reconstruction and We are beginning a new year of progress and industry. The future looks brighter than any period during the past decade. Business will not be done under the high pressure activity of the war, and we trust such conditions may never exist again; for, those were strenuous days that tried our resources to the limit. Money was plentiful, but values were high and there was little gained over and above the steady grind of normal years. We are returning to a stabilized condition. Already many industries have recovered from the shock of reconstruction and are running along smoothly. Soon all will be going well. This is the promise of the year book. We look back with a feeling of thankfulness that the clouds that hung over us one year ago have broken and the sunshine of prosperity is sending its effulgent rays to warm our congealed industrial blood into activity. We see hope stamped upon every countenance, and we feel that long before "Father Time" cuts the thread of the year 1922, this nation will have resumed its normalcy and that the conditions in Europe will have so far improved that the world will be at rest and actively pursuing the industries that will bring comfort and happiness to all mankind.

Don't force us to murder you. If we're peaceable, what's to prevent you from givin' us a passage back to San Francisco, where we're known an' where we'll have at least a fightin' chance to git somethin' to eat occasionally?" "You know mighty well what's to prevent me, Gib. I ain't got no passenger license, an' I'll be keel-hauled an' skull-dragged if I fall for your cute little game, my son. I ain't layin' myself liable to a fine from the inspectors an' maybe have my ticket book took away to boot." Cibney in your business templatin' hookin' snakin' her into San F liblin' her for ten t salvage. You an' Mac head here have sail coast too long together the first good piece of run into. Come, Scrago forget the past, an' gether. The new navigator Captain Scraggsy asid in his car: "Make Smart Alecks, Scraggsy, but if we Scrago "Enough of this gab," Mr. Gibney roared. "My patience is exhausted. I'm dog-tired an' I'm goin' to have peace if I have to fight for it. Me an' Bart stays aboard the steamer Maggle until she gets back to Frisco town or until we have overboard in the interim by the weight of numbers. An' if any man, or set o' male bipeds that calls theirselves men, is so foolish as to try to evict us from this packet, then all I got to say is that they're triflin' with death. I got my arms left, even if my feet is on the fritz, Scraggs, he continued, "an' if you start anything I'll hug you an' your A "I'll Hug You and Your Crew to Death." crew to death. I'm a rip-roarin' grizzly bear once I'm started an' there's such a thing as drivin' a man to desperation." The bluff worked! Captain Scraggs turned to his retainers and with a condescending and paternal smile, said: "Boys, let's give the dumb fools their own way. If they insist upon takin' forcible possession o' my ship on the high seas, there's only one name for the crime—an' that's piracy, punishable by hangin' from the yard-arm. We'll just let 'em stay aboard an' turn 'em over to the police when we git back to the city." He started for his cabin and the crew, vastly relieved, followed him. The pirates once more sat down and permitted their hot feet to loll overboard. About ten o'clock next morning the little vessel completed taking on her cargo, the lines were cast off, and the homeward voyage was begun. Messrs. Gibney and McGuffey were seated on the stern bits as the Maggie came abreast the Point Montara fog signal station, when Mr. Gibney observed a long telescope poking out the side window of the pilot house, and following the direction in which the telescope was pointing he made out a large bark standing in dangerously close to the beach. In fact, the breakers were tumbling in a long white streak over the reefs less than a quarter of a mile from her. In an instant all was excitement aboard the Maggie. "That looks like an elegant little pick-up. She's plumb deserted," Scraggs shouted to his navigating officer. "I don't see any distress signals flyin' an' yet she's got an anchor out while her canvas is hangin' so-so." "If she had any hands aboard, you'd think they'd have sense enough to clew up her courses," the mate answered. At this juncture, Mr. Gibney and McGuffey, unable to restrain their curiosity, and forgetful of the fact that they were pirates with very sore feet, came running over the deckload and invaded the pilot house. "Gimme that glass, you sock-eyed salmon, you." Gibney ordered Scraggs, and tore the telescope from the owner's hands. "Hum—m—m! American bark Chesapeake. Starboard anchor out; yards braced a-box; royal an' to-gallan'-sls clewed up; courses hangin' in the buntlines an' clew garnets, Stars-an'-Stripes upside down." He lowered the glass and roared at Neils Halvorsen, who was at the wheel. "Starboard your helm, Squarehead. Don't be afraid of her. We're goin' over there an' hook on to her. I should say she is a pick-up!" Mr. Gibney had abdicated as a p-rate and assumed command of the S. S. Maggie. With the memory of a scant breakfast upon him, however, Captain Scraggs was still harsh and bitter. "Git out it' my pilot house an' aft where the police can find you when they come lookin' for you," he screeched. "Don't you give no orders to my deckhand." "Stow it, you ass. Yonder's a prize, but it'll require imagination to win it; consequently you need Adelhert P. Cinney in your business, if you're con- emplatin' hookin' on to that bark, snakin' her into San Francisco bay, an' libellin' her for ten thousand dollars' savage. You an' Mac an' The Square- head here have sailed this strip o' coast too long together to quarrel over the first good piece o' salvage we ever run into. Come, Scraggsy. Be decent, forget the past, an' let's dig in to- ogether." The new navigating officer drew Captain Scraggs aside and whispered in his car; "Make it up with these Smart Alecks, Scraggs. They got it on us, but if we can send you an' Hal- vorsen, McGuffey and Gibney over the bark, you can get some sail on her an' what with the wind helpin' us along, the Maggle can tow her all right." Mr. Gibney saw by the hopeful, even cunning, look that leaped to Scraggs' eyes that the problem was about to be solved without recourse to the Gibney imagination, so he resolved to be alert and not permit himself to be caught out on the end of a limb. "Well, Scraggsy?" he demanded. "I guess I need you in my business, Gib. You're right an' I'm always wrong. It's a fact. I ain't got no more imagination than a chicken." "Spoken like a man—I do not think, Scraggs, for once in my life I have you where the hair is short. I'm willin' to dig in an' help out in a pinch, but it's gettin' so me an' Mac can't trust you no more. We're that leery of you we won't take your word for nothin', since you fooled him on the new boler an' me on the paint; consequently, we're off you an' this salvage job unless you give us a clearance, in writin', statin' that we are not an' never was pirates, that we're good, law-abidin' citizens an' aboard the Maggie as your guests, takin' the trip at our own risk. When you sign such a paper with your crew for witnesses, I'll demonstrate how that bark can be salvaged. My imagination's better'n my reputation, Scraggsy, an' I ain't workin' for nothin'!" "Gib, my dear boy. You are the most sensitive man I ever sailed with. Can't you take a little joke?" "Sure, I can take a little joke. It's the big ones that stick in my cray an' stifle my friendship. Gimme a fountain pen an' a leaf out o' the log book an' I'll draw up the affydavit for your signature." Scraggs complied precipitately with this request, whereupon Mr. Gibney spread his great bulk over the chart case and with many a twist and flip of his tongue on the up and down strokes, produced this remarkable document: "At Sea. Off Point Montara." "This is to certify that A. P. Gibney, Esq., and Bart McGuffey, Esq., is lawabildin' sitisens of the U. S. A. and the constitution thereof, and in no way pirates or such; and be it further resolved that the said parties hereto are aboard said American steamer Maggie this date on the special invite of Phineas P. Scraggs, owner, as his guests and at their own risk. Captain Scraggs signed without reading and the new mate and Neils Haltorsen appended their signatures as witnesses. Mr. Gibney thereupon folded this clearance paper into the tiniest possible compact ban, wrapped it in a piece of tinfoil torn from a package of tobacco, to protect it from his saliva, tucked it in his cheek and with a sign for McGuffey to follow him, started crawling over the cargo aft. By this time the Maggie was within a hundred yards of the distressed bark and was catching slowly backward and forward before her. "In all my born days," quoth Mr. Gibney, speaking a trifle thickly because of the document in his mouth, "I never got such a wallop as Scraggs handed me an' you last night. I don't forget things like that in a hurry. Now that we got a vindication o' the charge o' piracy again us, I'm achin' to get set of the Maggie an' her crew; so if you'll kindly peel off all of your clothes with the exception, say, of your underdrawers, we'll swim off to that bark an' give Phineas P. Scraggs an exhibition of real sailorizin' an' seamanship." "What's the big idea?" McGuffey demanded cautiously. "Why, we sail her in ourselves—me an' you an' glom all the salvage for ourselves. 'Tell with Scraggs an' the Maggie an' that new mate an' engineer. I'm off n' 'em for life." Pop-eyed with excitement and interest, B. McGuffey, Esquire, stood up, and with a single twist shed his cap and coat. His shirts followed. Both he and Gibney were already minus their shoes and socks. To slip out of their faded dungarees was the work of an instant. Strapping their belts around their waists to hold up their drawers, the worthy pair stepped to the rail of the Maggle. "Hey, there? Where you goin', Gib? I give you that clearance paper on condition that you was to tell me how to salvage that there bark." "I'm just about to tell you, Scraggs. You don't touch a thing aboard the Maggie. You leave her out of it entirely. You just jump overboard, like me an' Mac will in a jiffy, swim over to the bark, climb aboard, and sail her in to San Francisco bay. When you get there you drop anchor an' call it a day's work." He grinned broadly. "One o' these bright days, Scraggs, when me an' Mac is just wallerin' in salvage money, drop around to see us an' we'll give you a kick in the face. Farewell, you boobs," and he dove overboard. "Ta-ta," McGuffey cried in his tantalizing falsetale voice, and followed his leader into the briny deep. CHAPTER VI. The tide was still at the flood and the two adventurers made fast progress toward the Chesapeake. Choosing a favorable opportunity as the vessel dipped, they grasped her martingale, climbed up on the bowsprit, and ran along the bowsprit to the to-gallan'fo'castle. On the deck below a dead man lay in the scuppers, and such a horrible stench pervaded the vessel that McGuffey was taken very ill and was forced to seek the rail. "Scurvy or somethin'," Mr. Gibney announced, quite calmly. "There should be chloride of lime in the mate's storeroom—I'll scatter some on these poor devils. Too close to port now to chuck 'em overboard. Anyhow, Bart, me an' you ain't doctors, nor yet coroners or undertakers, so you'd better skip along an' build a fire under the donkey att. Matches in the galley, of course." He trotted down to the main deck and prowled aft. On the port side of her house he found two more dead men, and a cursory inspection of the bodies told him they had dled of scurvy. He cireled the ship, came back to the fo'enastle, entered, and found four men alive in their berths, but too far gone to leave them. "I'll have you boys in the Marine hospital tonight," he informed the poor creatures, and sought the master's cabin. Lying on his bed, fully dressed, he found the skipper of the Chesapeake. The man was gaunt and emaclated. The freebooter of the green-pen trade touched his wet forelock respectfully. "My name is Gibney, sir, an' I hold an unlimited license as first mate of sail or steam. I was passin' up the coast on a good-for-nothin' little bumboat, an' seen you in distress, so me an' a friend swum over to give you the double O. You're in a bad way, sir." "Two hundred and eighty-seven days from Hamburg, Mr. Gibney. Our vegetables gave out and we drank too much rain water and ate too much fresh fish down in the Doldrums. Our potatoes all went rotten before we were out two months. Naturally, the ship's officers stuck it out longest, but when we drifted in here this morning, I was the only man aboard able to stand up. I crawled up on the to-'gallan' to-castle and let go the starboard anchor. I'd had it cock-billed for three weeks. All I had to do was knock out the stopper." While Mr. Gibney questioned him and listened avidly to the horrible tale of privation and despair, McGuffey appeared to report a brisk fire under the donkey and to promise steam in forty minutes; also that the Maggie was hove to a cable length distant, with her crew digging under the deckload of vegetables for the small boat. "Help yourself to a belayin' pin, Bart, an' knock 'em on the heads if they try to come aboard," Mr. Gibney ordered nonchalantly. "Do I understand there is a steamer at hand, Mr. Gibney?" the master of the Chesapeake querled. "There's an excuse for one, sir. The little vegetable freighter Maggie. She'll never be able to tow you in, because she ain't got power enough, an' if she had power enough she ain't got coal enough. Besides, Scraggs, her owner, is a rotten bad article an' before he'll put a rope aboard you he'll tie you up on a contract for a figer that'd make an angel weep. The way your ship lies an' everything, me an' McGuffey can sail her in for you at half the price." "I can't risk my ship in the hands of two men," the sick captain answered. "She's too valuable and so is her cargo. If this little steamer will tow me in I'll gladly give her my towline and let the court settle the bill." "Not by a million," Mr. Gibney protested. "Beg pardon, sir, but you don't know this here Scraggs like I do. I couldn't think of lettin' him set foot on this deck." "You couldn't think of it? Well A man in a tight shirt is standing in front of a man sitting on a bed, who is holding a cup of coffee. The man in the tight shirt is holding a cloth in his hand. "Out of My Cabin or I'll Riddle You," He Barked Feebly. when did you take command of my ship? "You're flotsam an' jetsam, sir, an' practically in the breakers.

At 11 o'clock dainty refreshments were served. Mrs. Taylor presided at the piano and rendered splendid music for the occasion. Everyone left with a happy heart and all declared the "Jolly Girls" great entertainers. Chaperons were Mesdames Hall and Crump.

Mrs. Laura McCloud Mr. and Mrs. Hardy McCloud, and family Close Game Basketball The Colored boys basketball team of the Union High school met the Indian school team Saturday on the Indian school court and played a good game of basketball. This was the second time the Colored boys played the Indians and they showed a marked improvement. The Indians won by the score of 25 to 23, but everybody, including the Indians themselves, knew they had been in a game. Next time it will be different. Bob Kinney Arrested Robert Kinney, Colored, elevator operator in the Fleming building, surrendered Wednesday morning to the city authorities following an all night search for him by city and county officers. Kinney is alleged to have struck John B. Holt, one of the Colored porters in the Fleming building, over the head with a gas pipe following an altercation in the basement of the building. Holt says that he does not know why Kinney struck him, as they had been the best of friends and no ill feeling is supposed to have existed between them. Kinney tells quite a different story and intimated that he was justified in striking Holt. The preliminary trial will bring out the facts in the case and same will be held just as soon as Holt recovers sufficiently to appear in court. Last reports are that he is getting along nicely and nothing serious will result from the blow he received on the head. Second Baptist Church Sunday was a banner day at the Second Baptist church and the pastor, Rev. E. D. Greene, delivered an able sermon in the morning. In the evening the pulpit was turned over to a visiting minister who delivered a good sermon to the congregation. The attendance at both meetings was good and the collections up to the usual standard.

Feb. 10th It Happens All clubs, societies and other organizations are requested to keep off the date, February 10, as there will be something doing on that evening at the C. M. E. church. Take due and timely notice and govern yourself accordingly. Church Of God In Christ Splendid services were held Sunday at the Church of God in Christ and the pastor, Rev. Britton, delivered two able and inspiring sermons. The attendance was large as usual and the meetings very spiritual. You are invited to attend services at this church. Sunday School Growing The C. M. E. Sunday school is growing by leaps and bounds and soon will be the largest in the state of Arizona. The wide awake superintendent, Mr. W. J. Jones, deserves much credit for the novel and original plans put forth to arouse the interest of the pupils. The lessons are interestingly taught and intelligently applied. If you enjoy a lively Sunday school, attend the C. M. E. School begins promptly at 9:45 a.m. Debate Was Interesting The great debate held Friday evening at the C.M.E. church on the subject, "Resolved that Conditions Will Grow Worse," was indeed interesting. Long before time to begin, the house was filled with people who came to hear the discussion. Major Jones and Mrs. Nola Hamilton presented the affirmative in an eloquent, and convincing manner and it is agreed that their arguments will go down in history as masterpieces. A. R. Smith and Mrs. A. E. Thompson upheld the negative side of the question and their argument won lasting applause. The judges retired and after deliberating for more than half an hour, decided the contest a draw and stated that time alone would tell which side was right. The audience was dissatisfied with the decision of the judges and called for a popular vote on the subject. When the question was submitted to the house, the negative won overwhelmingly. In this case we believe, vox populi est vox Dei. Improve Their Property Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Brown of 1720 East Jefferson street have made some wonderful improvements in their home. A kitchen has been added, bath room built and other substantial improvements that add much to the attractiveness of this modern home. Their home is now very comfortable and they should be complimented for their enterprise. Confined To Bed Mr. Roy R.

THE GREEN PEA PIRATES (Continued from page three) of protest and proceeded to make his arrangements, regardless of the master's consent. As he and McGuffey busied themselves, laying the leading blocks along the deck, they glanced toward the Maggle and observed Captain Scraggs hurling crates of vegetables overboard in an effort to get at the small boat quickly. "He'll die when the freight claims come in," Mr. McGuffey chortled. "Poor o' Scraggs!" When Captain Scraggs came aboard, Mr. Gibney escorted him around to the master's cabin, introduced him, and stood by while they bargained. "The will will cost you five thousand, Captain," Scraggs began pompously. "Me an' McGuffey'll sall you in for four," Gibney declared. "Three thousand," snarled Scraggs. "Sailin's cheap as dirt at two thousand. As a matter of fact, Scraggsy, me an' Mac'll sail her in for nothin' just to skin you out o' the salvage." "Two thousand dollars is my lowest figure," Scraggs declared. "Take it or leave it, Captain. Under the circumstances, bargaining is useless. Two thousand is my last bid." The figure Scraggs named was probably one fifth of what the master of the Chesapeake knew a court would award; nevertheless he shook his head. "It's a straight towing job, Captain, and not a salvage proposition at all. A·tug would tow me in for two hundred and fifty, but I'll give you five hundred." Remembering the vegetables he had jettisoned, Scraggs knew he could not afford to accept that price. "Tm through," he bluffed—and his bluff worked. "Taken, Captain Scraggs. Write out an agreement and I'll sign it." With the agreement in his pocket, Scraggs, followed by Gibney, left the cabin. "One hundred each to you an Mac if you'll stay aboard the Cheesapeake, steer her, an' help the Maggie out with what sail you can' get on her," Scraggs promised. "Take a long, runnin' jump at yourself, Scraggsy, old sorrowful. The best me an' Mac' do is to help you cockbill the anchor, an' that'll cost you ten bucks for each of us—in advance." The artful fellow realized that Scraggs knew nothing whatever about a sailing ship and would have to depend upon The Squarehead for the information he required. "All right. Here's your money." Scraggs replied and handed Mr. Gibney twenty dollars. He and Nells Halvorsen then went forward, got out the steel towing cable, and fastened a light rope to the end of it. The skiff floated off the ship at the end of the painter, so The Squarehead hauled it in, climbed down into the skiff, and made the light rope fast to a thwart; then, with Captain Scraggs paying out the hawser, Nells bent manfully to the oars and started to tow the steel cable back to the Maggie. Half way there, the weight of the cable dragging behind slowed The Squarehead up and eventually stopped him. Exerting all his strength he pulled and pulled, but the sole result of his efforts was to wear himself out, seeing which the Maggie's navigating officer set the little steamer in toward the perspiring Nells, while Captain Scraggs, Gibney, and McGuffey cheered lustily. Suddenly an oar snapped. Instantly Neils unshipped the remaining oar, sprang to the stern, and attempted, by sculling, to keep the skiff's head up to the waves. But the weight of the cable whirled the little craft around, a wave rolled in over her counter, and half-filled her; the succeeding wave completed the job and rolled the skiff over and The Squarehead was forced A man is trapped in a stormy sea. He is struggling to stay afloat as the waves crash against his body. Was Forced to Swim Back to the Chesapeake. to swim back to the Chesapeake. He climbed up the Jacob's ladder to face a storm of abuse from Captain Scraggs. The cable was hauled back aboard with difficulty, owing to the submerged skiff at the end of it. Captain Scraggs and The Squarehead leaned over the Chesapeake's rail and tugged furiously, when the wreck came alongside, but all of their strength was unequal to the task of righting the little craft by hauling up on the light rope attached to her thwart. "For ten dollars more each me an' Mac'll tail on to that rope an' do our best to right the skiff. After she's righted, I'll ball her out, borrow new oars from this here bark, an' help Nellis row back to the Maggie with the cable." Mr. Gibney volunteered. "Cash in advance as per usual."
