county, it was announced last week by Ferdinand D. Lee, president of the National Memorial Association, Inc. The association was formed in 1916 and its size was widened after the World War. The governors of several states by request have appealed to the governors from their respective states to co-operate with the association, it was stated.
Bill Introduce
Shortly after the organization was perfected, a bill was introduced in Congress, providing for a site and an appropriation for the erection of the memorial, but the entrance of the United States in the World war prevented action. In 1919 Representative L. C. Dyer, of Missouri, introduced a bill to create a commission to procure a site, plan and design for the proposed building, but demand for government economy blocked passage of the measure. The building, planned, will be an imposing collapsed structure, not only as a memorial to living and dead heroes of the Negro race, but as an educational temple where statues of colored leaders may be placed, the association points out.
Those Indorsing Move
The movement, it was explained, has been indoors by the following national organizations: Spanish War Veterans, Grand Army of the Republic, Army and Navy Union, National Encampment W. R. C.; National Baptist Convention, American Methodist Episcopal Church Conference, Negro Business League, Negro National Education League, National Negro Press Association and National Negro Race Congress.
Officers of the association, in addition to President Lee, are: Julia M. Layton, corresponding secretary; Rev. W. H. Jernagin, first vice president; Julia West Hamilton, second vice president; James H. W. Howard, financial secretary.

PROFESSOR AT MORRIS BROWN UNIV. ATTACKER
andal Rocks the Famous Southern College as Details of Shooting Area Aired—Teacher Un-hurt
ATLANTA, Ga., April 5. Atlanta's famed Morris Brown University has had the jolt of its eventful life—a breath of scandal has permeated the dignified and cultured atmosphere. Students have come, and students have gone, taking with them their diplomas and their troubles and their secretly betrothed. Professors have come and professors have gone, carrying with them heavy hearts and light hearts—and more than once have they cared for some dark-haired student, whom they loved, but dare not raise a voice in acknowledgement. But—In these days of Tufusism, even Morris Brown has changed. It is said that one Professor A. G. Simpson, a member of the faculty and some of the students, came enamoured of a "dark-eyed Susan" and took pleasure in mingling his teachings from the books of the masters with squibbs from the select shelves of his heart. "The dark-eyed Susan" did not object to being by the learned and youthful professor, but a William Brown, of 137 East Linden Street, did! He could not bear to see the "apple of his eye" devoured as it were by the elever Socialist. So, like the Socialists, he rebelled, and forthwith came to believe that the professor was instructing a class and shot five times at the teacher, none of the bullets taking effect.
The students were thrown into a panic, many being hurt in tramping upon one another in their naste to leave the room; it is said. When the police arrived, it is said, they found Brown reloading the gun preoccupied with giving the Professor another chase. Brown was jailed, by the police under a charge of shooting at another, while the professor professed the greatest surprise at his action. A girl was at the bottom of it all, the police were told. It seems that Professor Simpson was the favorite suitor of a woman both he and his assailant were visiting, and this aroused the jealousy and ire of Brown.

Postpone Sale Of Nutter Lots At His Request
Eastern Attorney Reported To Be Seeking $4,000 for Bonds—'Estate' Limited.
'ATLANTIC CITY, N.J., April 5.
At the request of Isaac H Nutter the sale of his property located in Ventnor and scheduled to take place Thursday afternoon in the court room in the Guarantee Trust Building, has been postponed for two weeks by Sheriff Malcolm Woodruff.
The property was seized by Sheriff Woodruff and is to be sold on the order of Judge William H Smatners who acquired when Albert Blair and Robert Helmholz, two alleged conde-nemen, for whom Nutter was an attorney. The swirr-charges of attempting to swindle William Wingard, wealthy Pottstown, Pa., visitor, out of $40,000 in a fake horse racing game by Nutter in Douglas Park, Pleasantville.
The postponement of two weeks is customary, according to Sheriff Woodruff. It has been rumored that Nutter is making a last attempt to raise the funds to satisfy the two judgments against him. Unless he pays over the money to the county authorities, the property will be sold. According to information in the hands of the county authorities, the twenty-five building lots in Ventnor will not bring a sufficient sum at a sale to satisfy the claims against the colorado property. The building will be located in the mendous back of City Hall and to be practically inaccessible. The assessment of the whole block is in the neighborhood of $350.
Nutter was severely criticised by Judge Smathers when Blair and Helmholz failed to appear to answer to indictments. He charges Nutter with misrepresenting the facts to him when application was made for the Court, and each to $2,000 each. At that time Nutter is said to have represented to the Court that both Blair and Helmholz were living with their families in Chelsea and could be produced in Chelsea and could be indictedments were either they had disappeared and Judge Smathers ordered the bail bond forfeited.

George Owens On Trial For Murder
"Stack of Dollars" Well-Known Locally, Pleads Self-Defense on Witness Stand.
Unusual interest was aroused Monday at the beginning of the trial of George Owens, otherwise known as "Stack of Dollars," who was in court charged with the murder of a woman in October, while the jury was being picked one R. E. Stragand, a printer of Mount Oliver, was challenged by the attorney for the defense and asked if he could render an impartial verdict. He could not. The Court then put the case on trial to Stragand and asked him to explain, asking him if he meant to say that he could not give an unprejudiced verdict where a. colored man had pleaded that this was the case. He was promptly dismissed by Judge Haymaker.
The killing with which Owens is charged is alleged to have been committed in a Penn avenue saloon and is supposed to have been the result of a series of arguments about the hospital's St. Francis Hospital a few days after the attacking. It is alleged that he was with a Mauser automatic Owens took the stand and defense Tuesday afternoon the details of the shooting trouble leading up to it, being self defense.

ISSUE INVITATION FOR FIRST SESSION OF 'SANHEDRIN' HERE
Baptist Ministers' Union Takes First Concrete Step In Formulating Plans for Mammoth Idea of Dean Kelly Miller.
The proposition for a Sanhedrin of Nergu leaders, recently presented to this body by Dean Kelly Miller, of Howard University, is a subject which should engage sincere and painstaking consideration of Degrees every where and in all walks of life, with the whole who hold positions of leadership.
This Race Sanhedrin as defined by Dean Kelly Miller construes no embarrassment, negation or conflict to any other constructive Negro organization, or otherwise; but contemplates a general clearing house formed of representatives from these organizations. The idea suggests, a mighty Parliament of Negroes, a Continental Congress dedicated to the task of securing united Negro effort on all questions affecting our racial status, and of instituting a *daily written statement or policy* expressive of our views. Other races represented in this country, with purposes specific of advance not of their respective ideals and aspirations, are organizing their own and in many instances with awoken intent of wilful indifference to the welfare and cravings of the Negro group. It is there-
we exceedingly timely and highly important, that the Committee assemble their leaders in such a conference as the Dean of Harvard University suggests. The existing political, social and economic situation confronting our people in this Nation disables any one of the expediency of conference.
Dean Miller's effort as above required to be not without other notable precedents of history; it was that Moses did in Horeb, when with the Ten Laws he organized the Hebrew Bible. It was what Martin Luther did in the establishment of Protestantism, when his thesis in Wittenburg, East Algeria, was investigation retains its importance. The committee will desist of Indoctrination, and it is the purpose to expect the solidification of twelve million Negroes without a similar process.
To this end your Committee on Race Relations and Civic Affairs argues consideration of the following:
that we, the Baptist Ministers' Conference of Pittsburgh shall heartily endora the Kelly. Miller Sahedrin idea and commend it for similar consideration among New-organized Americas. We will pledge both our collective and individual support to help foster this enterprise and publish its merits.
That we shall seek co-operation from other organizations in this extension for the first session of this conference to be held in Pittsburgh, respectively.
R. Brown, Chairman; C. C. Adams, W. R. Powell, W. M. Johnson; M. A. Talloy, Secretary.
This report on the Kelly Miller Sahedrin was unanimously adopted.

U.S. Supreme Court Reversed Itself In Arkansas Case
Prominent New York Attorney Comments on Decision of National Body. Probable That the Condemned Men Will Never Suffer Death Sentence.
NEW YORK, N. Y., April 5. — New York lawyers have been commended for the victory of the victory by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in the Arkansas Caser, in which the United States Supreme Court reversed the decision, of the law that condemned five colored farmers to death.
Walter Nellos, a prominent New York lawyer, writing in The Law and Freedom Bulletin issued by the American Civil Liberties Union, has written that the Arkansas case, only reversed a lower court in the Arkansas Case, but halls the Arkansas decision as the one of the most far-reaching in regard to the principle of habeas corpus that the Supreme Court contrained to the decision. The Lao Frank case, the Supreme Court has held in the Arkansas Cases that despite legal forms, if a mob has dominated a court room, a fair trial not been held. As Mr. Louis Krause, for Lao Frank stated to the N. A. C. A. P: "The stone that the builders rejected has now become the chief of the corner. Due process of law now ignores not more than a court, but that it must be before a court that is not paralyzed by mob domination. "The case is held especially important for Negro citizens in that unless posited in contest of any case the case is known that a mob influenced decision.
The N. A. A. C. P, paid tribute to Scipio A. Jones, the colored lawyer of Little Rock, who has had charge and was in the forefront of the four-year legal battle culminating in the preme Court. This case is regarded by the N. A. A. C. P, as the most important legal battle fought, as it was the most costly, nearly $15,000 being expended to obtain the action before the Supreme Court. This would enable that the condemned men will never suffer, the death sentence which has three times been assured. The true humanity of continuous aviation by speakers and audience, many high tributes being paid to her devoted spirit and remarkable executive ability. Beginning eighteen years ago without capital, she has built up an institution with assets of over $800,000 and a student loan considered to double the school's capacity and make it co-educational.

Participated In Riot; Governor Refuses Pardon
RICHMOND, Va., April 5—By A. N. P.—Governor Trinkle has taken a stand against mob violence when he refused pardon in the case of A. L. Napier, a prominent white man, of Wise county, sentenced to one year in the penitentiary for participating in the lynching in 1921 of a Wise county Negro. Napier was convicted in the circuit court of Wise county and the Virginia superior court of appeals turned to a motion for a writ of acquittal after which citizens of the county presented a petition to the governor. S. B. Tate, another Wise county citizen, was sentenced to two years in state prison on the charge of being an accomplice in the lynching. Napier is said to have sententious citizen in the county, but in granting clemency, the governor stand he would be lending his help to mob violence.

Cubans Win Out In Tenth Frame
TAMPA, Fla. April 5—The Cubans took the third game in their seven-game series with the All-Americans Thursday afternoon at MacDill Air Force Base, of 7 to 6. Ten innings were needed before the Americans gave up the ghost and let their opponents slip in the winning marker. Thursday's game gave the Cubans two wins while the Americans have won but one. The game was close all along the court. After the first inning, which was rather disastrous for Qy Young, hurrier for the Americans, the Cubans were shut out until the lucky seventh frame bobbed up. There an error and a brace of hits tied the score, with the final inning around 6 to 3, and the next two innings rocked along with clichers for both aggregations.
Bill Stalnaker and Craig. pulled some good fielding for the Americans, while Ruton in center for the Indians, while Ruton in center for the Indians, last year boxer for the St. Petersburg club of the Florida State League, was touched rather freely in the fourth innings, where he last the lead. However, he came up with a comeback in the hunt which caught the Americans glued on their heels and which, incidentally won the game for his mates.
Score by innings:
Americans: 411 400 000 0-6
Indians: 200 000 300 1-7

Colored Athletes Have Reached Pinnacle In All Branches Of Sports
DETROIT, April 5—Although restricted by prejudice and always outnumbered in competitive lists, the American Negro has achieved individual athletic records that challenge emulation.
In boxing, football, on track and field he has placed his stamp indelibly. He is not yet known in golf and tennis tournaments, while an unwritten law is the only thing that keeps him from reaching the top in organized baseball. Almost any follower of the diamond can recall offhand some colored ball player of major league ability, kept in the background because of his race.

Of all sports the Negro gains his greatest eminence in boxing. Joe Gauss, the old, "master," whose memory is still the fetish of countless boxing followers; Jack Johnson, for instance; Peter Jackson, the world; Peter Jackson, twoweight of an earlier period; whose dark shadow haunted John L. Sullivan in his heyday, and George Dixon, one-timeantwimmand and flyweighttieholder, are notable instances of Senegambian success in the ring; not to mention Joe Walcott, Sam Langford and Janetteanne. And Molineaux. If you would go further into history, research work will reveal Tom Molineaux, the first American Negro to attain prominence in the boxing game. As early as 1810, the record books show, he fought Tom Cribb, the English champion, for the second time. The first effort, Molineaux, had a back and made a second futile attempt to overthrow the English monarch.
Or, if you would prefer an example of the present day, there is Harper's book *The Insecure from Way Down* in New York, this moment, Wills is so close to the heavyweight top that William Muldoon, chairman of the New York boxing commission, will not countance a bout between him and Jack Patterson, the championship judge of fictional talent record Wills most formidable of Dempse's recognized challengers. It also was a colored lad, Lee Patterson, of Joplin, Mo., who won the championship at A.E. F. at the interiated games in Paris. The colored race further must be credited with the singular rise of Battling Skii, who lost the world's championship to Mike Mergei after taking it from Georges Carpentier in one of the most famous spets on record Skii because of his peculiar methods of training, probably never will rank the immortals of his profession. But Skii was away from him the distinction of having once been a world's champion.
Two colored men are on Walter Camp's All-America football lists. Bobby Valentine, a star guard, was picked by the noted sideline at the conclusion of the 1925 season.

Holds World Record
His eligibility for many college athletic teams has given the coached youth a chance that he has not ignored. He is well known for well in track and field. Some of his feats still defy his challengers.
For instance, New Gordin of Harvard, holds the world's broad jump record, 24 feet 3 inches. Howard P. Drew shares with Arthur Duff, Dan Keitel, Charles Pindlock and a few others the world's record for the 100-yard dash, 9.3-3 seconds. To prove that his part is no fluff, Drew dives at the same clip in three different meets. Clyde Gilbert, another Negro entry, has turned the distance in 9.4-5 seconds.
Lest we get the habit of looking in far-away fields for the noteworthy performers, there is DeHart Hubbard, at the University of Michigan, point maker in the Mines and Rock track team. In the Big Ten indoor meet at Chicago a week ago he tied the Western Conference, record for most points. His work flashed also in the Illinois college at Urbana two weeks earlier.
Another notable athlete is, Sol Butler, who was a scintillating member of America's last Olympic team in 'n-spinner and jumper of exten-sion took part in the interlaced contests with the "...it all气 forces. Along with some other athletes he made such an impression on King Nicho-cho of Montenegro that he was walle-lected with high Montenegroian Pencors.

He was not only understand the situation, I tell just what happened at that times My club had been to St. Louis earlier in the season and won four straights. On our first visit, Charleston showed the impulse. He was promptly put on the field and he went to go. I walked over and told him to go on out. Foster fined him ten collars and when we arrived in Chicago, the fine was given back to him. But he was not given back to the St. Louis fans, together with the fact that they could not win a game from us.
On our second trip there it was said that we 'would not get away with any rough stuff this time.' The one that was going to work behind the plate, came to me before the game started our our second Sunday. At that time I was injured, out of the game, but was out in uniform. He asked me to come to the plate, it is. He then said to me, "We are not going to have any arguing here today. The first man that says anything to me will be put out of the game." I asked him what he did to me. He said that. That fellow gave about the rottenest exhibition of umpiring I have ever seen. St. Louis won the first game. I was not even allowed to make a protest. The second day I decided must get in the game. He must get in the game, six to one in our favor. Jeff was unbentable. It was about the sixth innning. My club was at bat. Mackey

morning I went to get my money, I was asked by the president if I was going to get something in the west I would not go. He then said, "I was to give you this money if you would stay in the league. I agreed, and was told one with capital to put a club in Cincinnati.
At the same time he wrote Jeffries that he would send him his $50 bill to the same salary as last year. Jeffries had asked for a raise, and was told that the $60 that was returned to him would count as his salary. He gave the "owner" of the A's $60 to let him pitch for them this year.
I could not get any one interested in Cincinnati, and in the meantime Pittsburgh wanted to leave Indianapolis, that he would rather I would stay, and that he thought he could arrange it all right. I told him there was nothing doing, and asked him if he had any idea to go to any other club in the league merely as a player. I told him that whatever club I was on this year I wanted to be part owner. He answered that whatever was done in up with the present "owner" of the B.C. S., and if I would stay here he was sure he would have to give it up soon and then I could step in and take control. It was then the latter I had made no plans, but I wanted to see if he was going to anything. I then went to Washington.

I have been in this city since 1014 and did my share in building it up. My record in baseball speaks for itself. I have done more for baseball than a whole flock of little secretaries. The loyal fans, will not forget that I am a man without a bachelor. I am a man without a game, and now at this late date game, responsible person "brays" that for the good of the game, get rid of one of the pillars. What did the secretary ever do for the good of the game? Did he help build from the bottom up as I did? No. When he worked until within the last few years, a ball began to take on the aspects of a profession. Then it was that the N. S. W. A. secretary stepped in to enjoy the fruits of other men's labor, and if we are not careful such men, with the power of the press, do the game more harm than all the others. Something needs to be done to curb their irresponsible pen. I am not going to Washington merely as a manager, but I am manager and half owner of the Washington Baseball. I may play or manage a club in the Western League until my useless as manager or anything else is no longer. My best chance was here and I was rob of that.

It was apparent that the bout got fairly started that it wouldn't go far and that Langford would win the Mexican heavyweight championship. Savage was trembling visibly in his corner and he was an aisy pray color. When the gong startled the bout, it was just as apparent that the bout would last only long enough for the colored veteran to catch up with the fleeing, young-ster.
Savage kept running around the ring away from Langford, but Sam cornered him and put him down with one sledgehammer blow.

When Savage had been counted out, the crowd swarmed into the room, almost dulled in their joy and gave Langford one of the greatest ovations in ring history. He was hoisted on the shoulders of his admirers and proclaimed as a real champion. He took his new laurels very modestly, refusing to comment on the outcome.

Cubans Win Out In Tenth Frame
TAMPA, Fla. April 5—The Cubans took the third game in their seven-game series with the All-Americans Thursday afternoon at MacArthur Park in West Tampa. The Cubans were needed before the Americans gave up the ghost and their opponents slip in the winning marker. Thursday's game gave the Cubans two wins while the Americans have lost. The game was close all along the route. After the first inning, which was rather disastrous for Cy Young, hurler for the Americans, the Cubans were shut out until the lucky seventh game bobbed up. There an error and a brace of hits tied the two games, leading around 6 to 3, and the next two innings rocked along with clippers for both aggregations.
Bill Stalnaker and Craig pulled some good fielding for the Americans, while Raton in center for the Mountains, last year boxman for the St. Petersburg club of the Florida State League, was touched rather freely in the fourth inning, where he just lost, however, he came through in the 'tent' in a bunt which caught the Americans glued on their heels and which, incidentally won the game for his mates.

Colored Athletes Have Reached Pinnacle In All Branches Of Sports
DETROIT, April 5—Although restricted by prejudice and always outnumbered in competitive lists, the American Negro has achieved individual athletic records that challenge emulation.
In boxing, football, on track and field he has placed his stamp indelibly. He is not yet known in golf and tennis tournaments, while an unwritten law is the only thing that keeps him from reaching the top in organized baseball. Almost any follower of the diamond can recall offhand some colored ball player of major league ability, kept in the background because of his race.

About Molineaux
If you would go further into history, research work will reveal Tom Molineaux, the first American Negro to attain prominence in the boxing game. As early as 1810, the record books show, he fought Tom Cribb, the English champion, for the first effort, Molineaux back a second time and made a second futile attempt to overthrow the English monarch.
Or, if you would prefer an example of the present day, there is Harry Wills, the silent steward from Yale Down in New Orleans. "Ah this heavyweight top that William Moen, chairman of the New York boxing commission, will not countenance a bout between him and Jack Dempsey. Many competent judges of fistle talent regard Wills as the most formidable of Dempsey's recognized challengers. It also was a colored lad, Leo Patineau, Popin, Mo. who won the lightweight championship of the A. E. F. at the inferred games in Paris. The colored race further must be credited with the singular rise of Battling Siki, who lost the world's light-heavyweight championship to Mike Mergeia after taking it from Georges Carpenter in one of the most famous upsets on record. Siki won the most methodous of training, probably over him with the immortals of his profession. But you cannot take away from him the distinction of having once been a world champion.

PHILADELPHIA, April 5—Manager Edward Bolden, of the Hildale Club, has sent notices to all of his players, instructing them to report at the Daily grounds for spring training Monday, April 9. There will be two weeks of intensive drilling, including several practice games, before the opening of the league and P. B. A. season. Outfielder Cari, formerly of Kansas City, was one of the first arrivals here. The big speed morphed to appeal to in the middle with Oscar Briggs and George Johnson in the outer gardens.

as one of the two greatest ends in collegiate ranks. Two years before, Ertz Pollard, of Brown University, earned a place on Camp's select team of brilliant service in the backfield. Duke Slater, who finished at Iowa along with Aubrey and Glenn Devine, was considered for similar roles, and did land on Camp's honor roll. He received credit for much of the enclave ground gaining by Aubrey Devine, a choice for the All-America. Often the humble toiler in the line overlooked while praise is lavished in the given uniform back, whose work in the open is more easy to follow.

For instance, New Gordon of Harvard, holds the world's broad jump record, 24 feet 3 inches. Howard P. Drew shares with Arthur Daffy, five others the world's record for the 100-vard dash, 9:3-5 seconds. To prove that his part is no fluke, Drew has raced the century distance at the same clip in three different meets. Claude Gilbert, another Negro entry, has turned the distance in 9:4-5 seconds.
Last we get the habit of looking in the gym for performers, there is Delbert Hubbard, at the University of Michigan. He is one of the outstanding point makers in the Maize and Blue track team. In the Big Ten indoor meet at Chicago a week ago he tied the conference record for the 500-vard dash. His work flashed also in the Illinois recys at Urbana two weeks earlier.
Another notable athlete is 'Sol Butler, who was a schilling member of America's last Olympic team—n sprinter and jumper of exponents—who took part in the interscholars contest with the 'real' military forces. Along with some other athletes he made such an impression on King Nicholas of Montenegro that he was decorated with high Montenegro ban.
"We must say something, it does not matter if it is not true, anything to do with it," said the egg" was their opinion. Through the present "owner" of the A.'s, Williams was hired to release to the Indianapolis Leider and other papers throughout the country the sound of the 15. They cared nothing for facts, although the secretary of the N. S. W. A. is familiar with most of them.
First, I was called the "Deposed Manager" of the A. B. C's. The fact is, I refused to consider the job for this season, because I would not consent to be a manager in name only. I told the present "owner" of the A's in the middle of last season that I was over and to look for a new manager for 1923. In September, I was called into conference, asked if I had changed my mind and if I would not pilot the club again this year. I refused that time the secretary of the N. S. Club was a good friend. I told him all about it. I was told that some time later he was called by in the "officials" of the A. B. C's and given a substantial check, which of course changed the situation. I promised to A. Rube Foster and Why It Was Made. The secretary of the N. S. Club was in Jimmy's chair the N. S. W. A. further says U. S. utterly disregarded my promises to the president and Jeffries $50 for our share in the St. Louis trouble last season.
In order for the public to fully understand the situation, I will tell just what happened at that time. My club had been to St. Louis earlier in the season and our straight straights. On the first visit; Charles on the umpire. He was promptly put out of game. He at first refused to go. I walked over and told him to go on out. Foster fined him ten dollars and when we arrived in Chicago, the fine was given back to him. But the police were not sure of the St. Louis fans, together with the fact that they could not win a game from us.
On our second trip there it was said that we "would not get away with any rough stitch this time." The game was going to work behind the plate, came to me before the game started on our second Sunday. At that time I was injured and out of the game, but was out in uniform. He asked me if I was going to work behind the plate, is it. He then said to me, "We are not going to have any arguing here today. The first man that says anything to me will be put out off the game. I asked him what did he want to do? That fellow gave about the rottenest exhibition of umpiring I have ever seen. St. Louis won the first game. I was not even allowed to make a protest. The second day I was going to play. Jeffries was pitching, the score was six to one in our favor. Jeff was闷热able. It was about the sixth innning. My club was at bat. Mackey

was on first base, two out. St. Louis was working a left手er. Mackey took a good lead at first, the pitcher being young, thought he would catch the base runner napping. In addition, the pitcher started his throw to that base, Mackey dashed for second, which completely upset the youngster. He did not complete the throw to first, but instead turned and threw to second. The base umpire was on base runner out. I immediately protested that it was a balk and the man was entitled to second base. The base umpire sent me to the umpire-in-chief. He told me it was not a balk, and without giving me any consideration in that gave me one chance to win, and I was sitting at home plate. My men were on the bench as that was the third out. I told the men to go to their positions and I started to mine. Jeffries was standing in the pitcher's box read to warm up the橡皮球 his left hand entered first most of the other men were in their positions.
I picked up my glove and turned at first in time, to see Jeffries up close to the umpire, and was told that he had hit him. I found out that the umpire had forced the tie up time to go on the field, and that after he did that Jeffries hit him.
For doing nothing at all, I was supposed to have been finned $200, or at least the A. B. C. bascball club was fined that amount, and because the manager was taken out of my game, I have ball for fifteen years and in that time have played all over the country. No one will say that I have been a rowdy, either on or off the field. And in all of that time I have been put one hat game in. The team was at St. Louis two years ago. At the league meeting last December, the board voted to give me my money back after they decided that the umpire
nothing I went to get my money. I was asked by the president if I was going East. I told him if I could get something in the west I would not go. He then said, "I was to give you this money if you would stay in the league. I agreed, and was told to see if I could get some one with capacity to put a club in Cincinnati. At the same time he wrote Jeffries that he would send him his $50 if he would sign with the A. B. C's at the same salary as last year. Jeffries had asked for a raise, and was told that the $50 that was reused to him would count as his ruler. He gave me the "owner" of the A.'s $50 to let him pitch for them this year.
I could not get any one interested in Cincinnati, and in the meantime Foster wrote and asked if I still would be Indianapolis, that he would rather be Indianapolis, that he thought he could arrange it all right. I told him there was nothing doing, and asked him if he had anything else for me. I did not want to get any club player in the league whatever player I was on this year I wanted to be part owner. He answered that whatever was done in any case would have to be taken up. He preset "owner of the A-B-C's" and that was sure he would have to give it up soon and then I could step in and take control. It was then the latter part of January. Up until that time he was waiting to see if he was going to do something. I then went to Washington.
got a lease on the American Leagues grounds, and will put a big leagues club there this year.
After leaving Washington, coming home, I stopped off in Pittsburgh and while there released something to the Pittsburgh Courter, and at the same time wrote a letter to Dr. Howard Smith at Kansas City, Mo., whom I have known for several years. In my letter to him, was the names of the same men I gave the Pittsburgh paper, which was run in the issue of March 3. - He sent the letter here to the "owner" of the A. B. C. and not to Foster as the secretary of the N. S. W. A. says.
The secretary shows his ignorance of baseball ways, when he says I intended transferring the franchise, as well as players to Washington. He did not know that this franchise in the western league would not be any good in the eastern league. If I should get a franchise in that league I would have to get one from them, and not a franchise from the western league.
On his Jeathbed, my brother, the late C. K. Taylor, told his widow and myself, that he wanted me to have twenty-five per cent of the club, and that he wanted me to run it the same as he had always run it, and that he had tea and Taylors A. B. C., he had tea every except the two of us, and I had no way to prove what he said I was told later by the new "owner" that I was to get twenty per cent and still later that I could not get anything. Foster knew of these conditions as I kept him posted on it. Doest any one know of the robbery of my shores of the club last spring, I told her all right, and worked just as hard to moke the A. B. C.'s a success.
Yet I am the "deposed manager."

I have been in this city since 1914 and did my share in building it up. My record in baseball speaks for itself. I have done more for baseball than a whole flack of little reeferries. The loyal fans will not miss a black mark in our uniform without a black mark in our uniform and now at this late date some irresponsible person "brays" that for the good of the game, get rid of one of the pillars. What did the secretary ever do for the good of the game? Did he help build from the bottom up as I did? No. When he had had fought and worked until within years, base ball began to take on the profession. Then it was that the N. S. W. A. secretary stepped in to enjoy the fruits of other men's labor, and if we are not careful such men, with the power of the press behind them, will do the game more. Somehow the rowdy player, Somehow the irresponsible pen, can do their irresponsible pen, not going to Washington merely as a manager, but I am a manager and half owner of the Washington Baseball Club. I may lay or manage a club in the Western League until my usefulness as manager or anything else is over, and still get no higher. My chance was here and I was robbed.

AMONG THE CHURCHES
BLACK MAMMIES' RESURRECTION
By REV. J. C. AUSTIN
Pastor Ebenezer Baptist Church
Oh, yes, we heard the story of the risen Lord last Sunday. People from every parish report the most inspirational services ever witnessed. The Christian forces believe as never before in a "Risen Lord" and they believe that his resurrection has touched the entire gamut of human society. We saw not only the possibility of the dead rising in the last day, but even in this our day, the heart of the South has been touched, "Joseph is remembered" and tears of gratitude are watering the sunken graves of Southern mammies.
O, how the white man of the South loves his black mamnie! O, how he struggles to the wasted years of ingratitude! He has now m and with his political shovel, he has ex-
exhumed "mammies" bones from their quiet rest. He has resurrected her deeds of love and achievements and passed a bill in Congress to build for "mammie" a monument of marble.
In a few days, the pilgrims of earth, who travel to the capital of this nation to behold America's glory, will gaze upon monuments, which perpetuate the memories of heroes, and martyrts, statesmen and diplomats, poets and sculptors, explorers and orators, inventors and explorers and orators, memorial epitaphs, will be seen one of marked distinction, "Unto the Black Mammies of the South." Ha! ha! "What fools, we mortals be!" What manner of consistence! What manner of consistency! What turns to honor black "mammies" the mothers of their master's children—"Mammies," the common-law wives of their task masters; "Mammies," who nurse "the white boy at one breast and the black boy (his brother) at the other breast. She is to have a monument of marble.
What about her sons at the hands of her memorialists? 'they have a monument of disfranchisement, segregation, and hellish mob violence.' "Mammies" sons appeared at the White House with a bill in answer to the House's veto of a bill. After lynching bill. The South cried in holy horror, "No, we will not stop our sport and pastime of burning Negroes. No, we will not stand for any interference, nor 'abriding of rights in our pursuit of happiness in burning black sons of our 'black mammies.' build a menu ment unto 'these men' and use them which to sacrifice their sons unto the 'god our prejudice and hate'."
Should our mothers and the white man's "Black mammies" have a monument? Yes, but it should be built by pure hands, unstained by the blood of "mammies" for mother or the "Southern mammies"; First, dig away the fifth of race hatred, lies and dishonesty—lay the base of the monument on the rock of brotherly love—erect this memorial tablet in three sections. Let the first be equality in educational opportunity, square representation in politics. Then crown it with fair play in the field of economics and labor.
If you, my Southern white brother, love my mother, whom you call "Mammie," and desire to give her a memorial tablet, just stand back and chance to see and will have living monuments unto her: joy and Goi's glory and America's honor.

Although the weather was sold the Easter services at our church were well attended all day. Our pastor, Dr. Robert B. Bunce, excellent sermon in the morning. The Easter program was a great success, and seemingly was enjoyed by all. Many visitors were present to witness the program. It was given under the auspices of the Sunday School. The Easter Bunnie visited our belief in God and loved it. She gave a surprise token of love and appreciation from the church and Sunday School. A chicken and waffle supper will be given on the 12th instant by the Volunteer Workers' Club.

Clark Memorial Baptist Church
The Central Baptist Church
On last Sunday an unusually large attendance of members and friends attended the services at our church. The sermons of our pastor, Rev. V. Augustus Jones, were very ably delivered—full with religious fervor, prayer, and thanksgiving. A. M. text Rev. K. A. Scott, "The Authority and Power of Our Risen Redeemer." The choir, under the direction of Mr. J. T. Scott, rendered exceptionally fine music from the following selections: "Happy Morning, Golden Harps are Sounding," and "Arthur Miller, 'Christ Our Passover,' by T. M. Shepherd. The sermon at 8 P. M. was to the Masonic Order, subject "The Mystery of Godliness." The evening services consisted of a pageant of the resurrection, entitled the "Dawning," in three parts, by Lyman Bayard, and performed by the young people of the church toward the direction and management of W. Augustus Jones. The portraying of characters and circumstances after the resurrection of Christ was well developed and performed in every detail and became an unanimous appreciation for benefits received from the production. The Radio program presented last Thursday evening at the church, by Mr. John Robinson, a huge success. A permanent Radio station will be installed at the church and weekly program will be rendered. The program will be regarded to the right kind of social diversion for the young people and he is being supported by the officers and members of the church in the arrangement of this program. We are happy to note that completion toward the award of the contract or performance was perfected and within a few weeks work on the building will begin. The "Church" with a welcome, awaits to greet the public and friends at all times.

The church, under the leadership
of Rev. S. G. Means, is now
boasting of its 15 days. One is
realizing that we can realize the spiritual life of
the church. Rev. Means is indeed,
a great preacher, and to say that
under God, he is bringing things
to pass is but a mild expression.
The church baptistry has been
finished and the pastor baptized nine
persons Easter morning. This was
the first time that any one had
been baptized in our church build-
ing. It has been our pleasure to
listen to a wonderful lecture last
Monday night by Hon. Major R. R.
Wright, Sr. of Philadelphia, Pa.
He spoke from the subject, "A

I found "that by working late last night I could get home early this morning, instead of Wednesday. How pleased I was at the thought of surprising Bettie and I actually laughed aloud as I pictured her happy little laugh when she saw me. Stopping only long enough to buy her a car, I hurried a car, hastened home. When I reached here it was: 7:45.

The narrative broke off abruptly there. The men sat looking at each other for a few moments before they hook hands with Jack Cummings and with each other and left the room. It was not a time for words.
When Bettie Anton succeeded in gaining admission to the room, in which her husband and baby were, she found them lying apparently asleep on his father's cheek. After watching them for a moment or two, she realized that the baby was not breathing. Examining him, she saw her husband for a new dawn. Her husband rallied for her, under the vigorous treatment of a hastily summoned physician, but he died with her name on his lips. "An overdose of chloral," his doctor said, and he latin name charitably explained the cause of the baby's death.
Bettie Anton is trying now to explain her sins in a convent, while Jim's friends ask themselves.
What About Your Town?
An Investigator Tells An Unusual, But "True-to-life" Account of His Experiences in a Restaurant "An Investigator" writes in the Chicago Half Century
I had occasion to visit a lunchroom in my neighborhood the other night. The place looked very promising — the meal served me was fairly good, but the proprietor, although he had never seen me before, insisted on entertaining me, during the entire meal with an account of the cost of running a business. "And you can't depend on the trade!" he said, "not at all, they cat here today, and across the street to tomorrow, and first thing you know they're eating 'way down town somewhere. Colored people just won't patronize each other, that's all." And they expect me to feed 'em as cheap as them, self-service place down town. I just can't cause 'I can't buy grub as cheap as they can." Living woes of my own I didn't feel as though I wanted to hear about anyone else's, so next evening I sought a new eating place.
This one was in the very heart of the largest colored district in that part of the city. Dimly lighted, at the first glance, the cloth on the table I selected seemed fresher than the ones grew accustomed to the flickering light of the gas jet, I could see that the cloth bore many stains of varying colors, left there by previous diners. Here was the red of strawberry juice, there the dark stain of peanut butter, the salt and pepper containers, was the siffened aftermath of a splash of soup. While I waited for someone to come in from the kitchen and take my order, I searched the place for a cleaner looking table. I found one in corner corner, but the observation revealed grease here and there as well as blackened streaks on the edges of the cloth from the dirty coat-sweeps of many layers who had eaten before me
The vicinity of the courtyard.

were greasy from muddled with
the sugar in the in the
strakes of corn from the
spoons of many frogs. I was
very hungry and it was two blocks to the
next restaurant so I decided to make
the best of it.
A woman slouched in a few minutes later. Her hair bore the disheveled appearance of one who had taken off the comb, merely smoothing it back. Her face, guillotine of powder, was shiny and greasy looking. Her blue gingham dress was crumpled and soiled and minus two buttons. Runnin' through the cotton stockings completed her costume. She wore no apron.
"What have you today?" I asked. "Ham and cabbage, roast's beef, an spaghetti." As none of these appeared to me, I said:
"I'd like a t-hone steak, fried potato, combination, salad and coffee."
Without a word she shuffled back to the kitchen and after a hurried consultation with an invisible person there, she slouched past me with a meek grip, entered the market across the street, ten minutes later she returned with several packages. in her hand. Halt an hour later she placed a very small, dry-looking short steak beak potatoes, gritty lettuce, tomato. I had to ask for water. Hungry as I was I could not eat any of it. I paid my bill—their prices compared with these charged by restaurants giving high class service—to avoid that place in order to walked four blocks on that street searching eagerly for some place that looked cleaner, but the first six lunchrooms I passed had their winery ancient vintage with fried fish of an ancient vintage with dried fish of an ancient dry, burnt-sparrier. The foul odor exhulted by all of them made me hurry past. a lunch car or two well supplied with "hot dogs", pickles and cheese, and rewarded half an hour's walk. I chucked a chocolate bar and walked on in disgust.
"Not a decent place on the street," I muttered. At the next corner I met an old friend and told him of my new place. "I know a good place near here," he informed me. I hastened to the number he gave and found everything much as he described — even nicer in some respects. There were two tables in the place with clean white tablecloth still crested and fresh. A neat man in black with a spoiledess brought me a glass of water. "What that," he said, "I deserved something especially nice after my previous experience."
The waitress brought me a small piece of stewed chicken, a tiny potato, a tiny dish of peas and half a sweet potato. A dainty salad on a daisy and a cup of delicious coffee accounted for the meal, and a very tiny piece of shortcake completed the meal. It was delicious. I have never tasted finer cooking nor received quicker, better service, but there was so little food served that when I had finished the meal I hardly realized I had eaten not a meal at all—taste of everything—not a meal at all. The dress—one dollar, she shaded for this sample meal—and I left with a feeling that much as I liked both the food and the service there, I would have to stay away until they decided to serve larger portions or I could to order two or three dinners at once.

Ethiopians Are Not Africans Says Professors
Harvard Educator Says Ethiopians Are Dark Colored Races in Which Brown Prevails.
Increasing marriages with members of the white race is responsible for the rapid disappearance of the full-blooded Indian from North America, said Dr. Alex Hrdilicka, a professor in Anthropology of the Simi Valley institution in Washington, and on the staff of the United States National Museum, speaking last week at a joint meeting of the New York Academy of Sciences and the American Ethnological Society at Columbia University.
There are about 335,000 Indians in the United States and its possession, Dr. Hedrickla, "more than most people know. As a body they have slowly increased during the last two three generations, but it has been an increase in mixed-bloods. The full-blooded Indian is passing from exhilaration." The pure Eskimo is also gradually passing. He intermaries, with either whites or Indians, and as the invading white population pushes the Eskimo and further northward the Eskimo is surge with it. "In the United States the speaker, the 'white man's race problems have solved themselves in every favorable way. The incoming native stock have blended with the native stock and many people call most successful the people little doubt that the traditional melting pot of this country is an established blend. The blending has been better on the whole in the cities than the rural districts, where the same European strain persists even to the third and fourth generations."

The principal achievement of the expedition; during the last three years, under the auspices of Harvard, University and the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, has probably been scientific examination and analysis of the fifty royal tombs in the cemeteries at Mereo, and the reverence of the chroneological basis for the history of Ethiopia during the Merotic era, the report indicated.

Sir Charles Lucas gives a complete summary of Africa in world politics. In the beginning Africa was only a waystation. The slave trade opened it up.

An impartial student of the American language, however, finds that there are two large groups of words in current use in this country which are unknown or inacceptable across the Atlantic.
One group consists of words now obsolete in England, which were brought to this country by Massachusetts and Virginian colonists. It is one of the immutable laws of language that transplanted words tend to crystallize and become fixed.
The other group, in conformance with another law of language, consists of new words that have been coined to express our changing life and thought. It is this latter group of words that is most offensive to British custodians of the language. And side by side with denunciations of the American coinage some of the London newspapers attempt translations of such words as "hand-wacen," "mimo-steerer," "cleanup," "cinch," "drummer," "dive," in the sense of a den of thieves, "to feature," "get-away," "graft," "hobe," "hoodlum," "hold-up," "live-wire," "quitter," "road agent," "rubber neck," "shack," "sucker" and "stuck-up."
Some of the translators go a little astray, as when they define "confidence queen," as a "女婿" outcome, outcome of state of society or more fiery procession; as of the more fiery American drinks," and "doughnut," as "a baker of the German variety."
The other group of Americanisms, that consist of words ancient and memorable lineage that have become familiar in England or are disliked in England, is less bitten by the homelife obsessive. I Have a Sacramento society by certain chill from the at-terior opposes Senator L. McCain, who has taken time from affairs of state and is many of the Americanisms ridiculed in many of the American papers and on the English stage one of his essays he traces back these typical American expressions, such as "to guess," in the sense of "to think," and "well," used as an interjection, to Shakespeare himself.
For instance he cites from "Measure for Measure" an empathetic "I guess," used with the exact shade of meaning that idioms in current speech today. And again in "Winter's Tale" he points out "Which I do guess, you do not purpose to him."
"Be it said also in passing that 'guess' is a far better word than 'within' which the British are fond of putting a similar service," Mr. Lodge comments.
Shakespeare used "well" over and over again in precisely the same way as we use it to today. For instance in "Hamlet," in the conversion between two soldiers, there lines occur.
"Have you had a quiet guard?" "Not a mouse stirring." "Well, good night."
Some so-called 'slang' words are also traced back to a classical lineage. For instance 'fire out' is found in Shakespeare's 14th sonnet:
Yet this shall I ne'er know but live in doubt,
Til my bad angel fire my good one out.
Jazz Weddings Held to be Cause of Divorce Wave
New York Woman Raps
Modern Society in
Chicago Speech.
CHICAGO, April 5—For trot
compatibility as the basis of w
many modern marriages is what
is making the divorce court so popular.
"Real homes are a thing of the
past.
City flats are so small, privacy is
given as a bad job.
"Suburban houses are little more
than dolt houses the size of cheese
boxes."
These were some of the raps at
modern society delivered by Mrs.
Beatrice Forbes Robertson Hale of
New York speaking to the Chicago
Teacher's College.
"Every girl of today should be
able to make her own living if
necessary," said Mrs. Hale. "She must
be her husband's mental companion.
Instinctive motherhood. in which a
mother ignorantly gives her baby a
sip of beer must give way to inform-
tivity. The blue bird of a
woman's happiness centers in her
home.
"These are the ideals that should be taught to the girl of today, not the over-stimulation of money spending pleasures. Because all the big excuse homes and parents must overcome."
PART TWO SECTION
In The Easter Parade
Everything but hats were gry fancy, elaborately trimmed. A few bright colors, like blue and green, but different from a few others. They are about as long, but have round heads, touched up with color, and are furnished with wrist-strikes like the modern umbrella. Gray was a predominating background for brilliant splashes of bright colors.
hurtest
It is a "drysty" season, sports clothes, to far as the Easter parade is concerned at least, being inundated completely under wavers of more formal dress.
Embroidered and printed jackets in Paillier miff give protection against chill spring breezes and long line costs and long tread (cap), furry, or lightly aggrigated.
Shoes, those not tan or gray, carry out the color of the frock or form a direct contrast. The goosens were in lustrous reds, blues, greens, yellows, pink in no modest shades. And everywhere were shoes; of whatever color, pierced and strapped and tied beyond former motions of intracrises.
Gloves, too, were certainly not plain. Those that are not elbow-length are gauntlets the stiffs beaded and embroidered.
Suicide Among The Young Doubled Since World War
Lack of Understanding of Life's True Values and Failures to Obey the Divine Laws is Cause, Declares President of Save-a-Life League.
The number of suicides among young people has almost doubled since the World War, presided over the Save-a-Life League, declared in his report for 1922, made public today.
'Uncle Joe' Cannon Tells Best Joke
From 477 juvenile suicides in 1919 the known total had jumped to 900 in 1920. The probability that for every known suicide there was one self-inflicted death not so listed. The total number of tabulated for the user was 13,550.
Boy suicides averaged in age 16 years, while the girls who died by their own hands averaged 15. One boy left a note that he was killing himself "just for that he was killing her life" "just to get a new thrill." Another took poison because she didn't like the way she looked with her hair bobbed.
Existence of at least one "sulcide club" of girls was disclosed, while numerous suicide pacts were reported.
Discussing child suicide, Dr. Warren listed as the three principal causes, intolerable home conditions, faulty school system and temperamental disorder. "His marriage," he continued "is another serious cause. In 1920 there were 1,600 children in the United States listed as murdered. Nearly 600 of them were recorded as divorced or widowed.
"Many of these children soon after marriage find that they have made a great mistake in their choice; quarrel and separate, get rid of them and supply many of our suicides as homicides. "Parents and teachers should educate children to avoid emotional excesses, to meet bravely the unpleasant things of life and to consider others as well as themselves."
Farmer Women Are Advised To Dress In Style
Farm women are being advised to dress with style and attractiveness at their chores and household duties. "There are housekeeping signs says, 'There is no reason woman on the farm to look like the devil even when cooking pancakes or hoeing the lettuce.'" Women are alluring in the country as in the city.
"Because a farm woman has the chickens to feed is no reason why she should wear a lovingly wrapper. She will have had raked the hay in a dirty pile. Whittier never would have written a poem about her.
"Driving to town with the butter and eggs is no alibi for a mussy coiffure. Sweeping off the front and crumpled a wrangled kimono is a crime and run-in shoes in dusting the parlor are art argument for capital punishment.
"My advice to my sisters of the farm is to look attractive all day. Have your wash dresses in bright colors and styles. The way to keep your skirts sheeps clean is to have them both short. I am not an apostle of immolidity, but there is no law against them, the charm of a shapely leg. Silk Stockings of black or sober tits, seamless so they will keep their shape and not rip, will look just as short and more harmonious. Pay attention to shoes. If they must be sturdy, they can at least be neatly polished.
"A touch of ribbon, in the hair
won't hurt and a bit of lace at the
throat is often an effective detail.
It is often so, so gowned that
you won't have to handle
when a strange automobile
unexpectedly stops at the gate."
A Latin Phrase Stumped "Cracker" Magistrate and Resulted in Aged Man's Freedom.
WASHINGTON, D. C., April 3—"Uncle Joe" Cannon says that "Private" John Allen, of Mississippi, was one of the best story tellers that ever served in congress. While in a reminiscent mood not long ago "Uncle Joe" says that many years ago several memoirs were told, with the short room telling stories, and when Allen's turn came he told this one.
"I want to tell you of the greatest victory of my life. It was down in Tupelo, during the period just after the war. I was at that time a practicing lawyer—that is, I practiced when the war ended. I was one time a one day old Tupelo, one one, the old colored tree, pertinenced pharmacist. It continues or allow himself to become less than nature the embodiment, came into my office and said: "Mars John, I want you to clam me. I see guine be arrested for stealin' two hams out en de cross road store." "Well, Mose," I asked, "did you really steal the hams?" "Mars John, I just took 'em.'" "Did any one see you?" asked. "Yessah, boss, two done, see me," replied the old man sadly. "Well, Mose, I replied. I can do anything for you under the circumstances."
"Well, I consented to try. The case was to be tried before an old registrar named Johnson. He was a perfect dictator and was moreover a perfect dictator; and aoloed man ever came before him when he find the maximum penalty, and sent out to his field to expiate his crime in sweat of his brow.
"The registrar heard the case. Every possession was brought to show that Mose had steered there. There could be no doubt of it being the testimony. I had not put a sigh
gle question to any of the witnesses, but when the testimony was all arrose, and in my most dignified man addressed the magistrate. "May I please your honor, it would be useless for you to argue the facts in such a case as the one who would adorn the superior if not the supreme court bench of this grand old commonwealth; and I would take that those who know you best say that you could grace even the supreme court in the United States—the highest tribunal in the land. It will be useless to dwell upon the testimony; you have heard it the case as well as I do. However, if it to cell honor's attention to a short passage of the old English law, which clearly denies this case, and which for the moment your honor may have forgotten.
"Then I fished down in my pocket, and drew forth, with a great flour kettle, to the Caesar. I opened it with great diggity. I first page and read the line which is familiar to every school boy. 'Om' I read, 'That tres diss est' That decides the book, throwing the book upon the table. That clearly acquires the defendant!
great dignity and solemnity I the man who the old magistrate was commended plussed. He looked at me a monce quizzically and scratched his head. "Mose, he raily is himself to this full." Mose, I know you stole themacing

Will Marion Cook Scores Great Hit With Clefties
The signing of contracts last week for an extensive campaign of advertising, together with the increased activity the fire department indicates Attractions Circuit, incorporated, indicates that Robert Levy has accomplished his long sought purpose of combining the theatres that cater tocolour audiences with products by Nego performers, in a booking combination that will assure consecutive bookings to colored attractions, and an equally good assurance of the theatres having a steady supply of attractions.

Great Hit
Rare Assemblage of Talent and Beauty Presented to New York Audience at the Lafayette Theatre.
After a few days in concert halls and theatres in Philadelphia and Baltimore, where they scored tremendous artistic successes, and satisfactory financial gains, the Chel Club, its glee club contingent and an annual fundraiser, the Lovetoy Theatre in New York and simply stood the audience up with surprises.

In their respect, lines all conducted with the Will Marion Cook artistry and efficiency.
For once in this house, the curtain arose on time, and the performance concluded at the right time; and with the exception of a slight climax in the moment of entrance, offerings, the whole thing was as perfectly done.

McKissick and Haliday in a rough comedy act provided such comedy as felt as was merely songs to break the motive of things; and if this attraction is not kept intact, and taken on a nation-wide tour, the nation will miss a treat, and a lot of managers lose a love of the show.

Last night, there was Jack Goldberg and Sam Crismar of the "How Miss Lil" series, with Miss "Lil" and Messrs. Shields and Pryor of "The Emporter Jones"; Rosamond Johnson from the Kieth circuit, one of the foremost musicians and composers of the race; Monty Hawley, late of the "Salome" company; Jack Johnson, from the fistic arena; Alex Rogers, the lyric writer of "Go-Go" Broadway's big present musical surprise.

Andy Bishop—Cleo Desmond Players To Tour The South
As proof that the T. O. B. A. officials meant business when they declared at the last meeting of the association that a greater variety of entertainment would be provided for the patrons in nowhere more than Mitte. V. Starr is personally conducting a tour of the Andrew Bison-Oles Desmond Players through the bigger houses of the circuit.
C. P. McClane, manager of the Royal Theatre, Philadelphia, who visited the Bishop Dramatic Company, advises us that the company will open at Mr. Starr's own theatre, the Bijou, in Nashville, on April 2, with a/route that includes Memphis, the Bishop Dramatic Company, Jacksonville, Charleston and Savannah.
This is the tour that was being neglected last autumn, and upon the advice of Messrs. Starr and Reevin was deferred, no doubt with good reason. The experiment of handwashing during the last weeks will be watched with considerable interest by the whole show world.
When Mr. McClane called at the Billboard last week, he was very enthusiastic about the possibilities. With him were the two Mr. Williams, owners of an ad-dressing business and lessees of the auditorium in the new Olympic Theatre on Broad street.

INGRATITUDE
Rumored That "Go-Go"
May Be Moved From
Daley's Theatre to Get
Away From Colored
Patronage.
A trade paper (not the Billboard); states that "Go-Go" may be moved from the Daley Theatre on Sixty-third street to another theatre farther down town to get away from the big Negro patronage that was to the house interior nearly two years run of "Shuffle Along." This seems like a bit of ingratiation from those whom this very patronage has brought from the depths of financial despair to affluence. The theatre in question had been dark and the audience "Shuffle" went into it. Since then it has been a money maker, and the subject of some, very expensive improvements, made from these earnings. Its owners have paid off a very long list of judgments of long standing; and all of the men in the business end of the colored attraction are again "on velvet."
The lyries and music of "Go-Go"
are by two colored men, Alex Rogers
and Luckyh Roberts. It was a tribute
to these men that attracted
their attention. The fame as this piece has achieved is based on its admitted Negro characteristics of speed, etc. it is known that during the run of "Shuffle" and of "Liza" in the house, that a colored man was paid to sit through the fights that pleased the public
and the critics remark upon the resemblance to those productions.

ROBERT S. ABBOTT MENTIONED FOR SPINGARN MEDAL
ROBERT S. ABBOTT MENTIONED FOR SPINGARN MEDAL
The Amsterdam News of New York has placed the name of Robert S. Abbott, publisher of the Chicago Defender in nomination for the Spin-garn medal that is bestowed annually to the recipient with having made, the greatest contribution to racial advancement. In seconding the nomination, we believe Abbott, as the owner and publisher of the race, should be so honoured, for the sake of journalism and its contributions, as for his personal contributions, by up holding his great publication house that produce his weekly, that covers the world.
Burleigh and Gilpin have been chosen from the musical and theatrical professions, and they have merited the distinction, yet even their worth would not have been recognized. The distinction, the same is true of all of our accomplishments. The Negro press has contributed long and faithfully to every advance the race has made; have helped when no other assistance was available and has received quiesities of more material character, than has any other instrument of civilization.
Now that, in spite of handlees, Negro writers, publishers and their journals have commanded respectful attention from the world, it would be worthwhile to have the craft should receive this tardy recognition of its worth; and equally fitting that the biggest among us should wear it. Many among us may differ with Mr. Abbott's editorial policy at times; but we must all accept that the craft of this influence; and we must admit that both he and his paper are BIG.
"Shuffle Along" the club had to forego the practice for the opening night because the house / was sold out. When the first midnight show was given, the house management asked eleven to withdraw its reservation for textbook that the public might be supplied. Since this was the first show of the season that did not require the financial assistance by way of pay. The company was represented Thursday night at the club house on 131st street.
Some members of the Liza show, playing at the Nora Bayes Theatre, the "How Come?" people, now in rehearsal, and the second edition of the Plantation rehearsing at the Lafayette Hall, together with members were present. Jesse Shipp, the club president; Sam Tolson, the custodian; Emmett Anthony of the "Liza" show, and Mr. Salem T. Whitney were the speakers of the evening. It was a most pleasant occasion, and greatly emphasized the growing harmony, as well as growing number of group in the amusement world. Jackson, Jr., represented the Page.

Preyer were sustained by Mrs. Preyer priestess of the Westminster Hotel and an array of other witnesses, whose testimony could not be shaken by the cross examination of the attorneys representing Mr. Perry. The defense entered a general detail, and attempted to build up a defenses ground that Mr. Perry had planned a hotel party of a number of his friends, Mrs. Preyer being one of the party.
Mrs. Weed, the proprietress, denied this most emphatically,

SYNDICATE ATTRACTION CO. FORMED
The first and only exclusive organization ever perfected in the United States to play only colored musical shows in the largest metropolitan cities has just been completed by the Lafayette Circuit. The circuit is known as the Syndicate Attractions Circuit, Inc, and it is claimed that there are fifteen weeks already contracted for and ready to open, within the next six weeks.
Robert Levy is president and general manager of the circuit, and also the owner of the idea. Levy is the father of the colored show movement and it was he who organized the Lafayette Players, which company won world-wide fame by its superb performances. Levy is also credited with being the first producer to have organized a successful season of a co-operative successful season of 62 weeks for five consecutive years.
The Syndicate Attractions Circuit will control the shows and houses and it is expected that the complete route will be able to play a show for a season of at least forty weeks. Houses will be located in the principal cities, some of which have been playing colored shows. The idea of forming the syndicate circuit came from the self-promotion of own several theatres when it developed that there was a field for exclusive colored organizations, but that consecutive attractions could not be secured.
"To date owners of the剧院 playing only colored shows have been at a loss to get the proper consecutive bookings," said Mr. Levy. "Myself and several other theatre owners found our houses doing a good business and we have shown the剧院. But it developed that we could only get shows spasmodically. We have organized for the sole purpose of supplying attractions to the剧院, such as mine, so that we can have new ones every week. We have made our proposition to the producer as structurally as possible, and we will then produce any shows ourselves, we will set a standard of production and every show on the circuit will be as complete as any musical organization now playing other剧院 and circuits. We have a number of shows now, we will start our season shortly. We can start just as well in May or June as we can in the fall for our season is a perpetual one."
A number of well known comedy producers have already been granted franchises for productions and they have shows in rehearsal. Producers can qualify, and can show the circuit officials they can produce theatrical shows at the stadium or the circuit will be taken on as fast as the necessity arrives.
The circuit will comprise theatres as for West as Chicago, and will also take in Southern houses, as well as theatres in all the Eastern cities. While many colored organizations are now playing wherever from week to week, playing wherever they can get a theatre, these shows although making money will come into the new circuit.
All business will be transacted from the home office at 255 North sixth street, New York where a half hour is being used as headquarters. All public matter, printing, railroading and booking will be handled direct from the home office and the business will be standardized.
Contraint to the prevailing reports I. H. Hark, of the late Affiliated Circuit, will not be associated with the Syndicate Attractions Circuit in any way, shape or manner. Robert Lewy will be the active president and general manager and has surrounded himself with a corps of able and well known executives familiar with the new game and the theatricals in general.
THE HEALTH WEEK PROGRAM
1 It is suggested that ministers give health sermons or that physicians lecture on health in the churches at least once a quarter.
2 Some part of the exercises of this day (Thursday, April 5) should be devoted to commemoration of the birthday of the late Booker T. Washington, founder of National Health Week.

Such an act will be significant of the tenseness of the times, politically, and of the aroused determination of the Democrats district. Former Senator Frelinghuysen who declared in the closing days of the last Congress that, "We are not going to let the Southern Democrats send the Republican party to hell." That, indeed, may be regarded as a Simon pure statement of the feeling of red-blooded Republicans who, like the distinguished former Senator Smith, "did that neglect, indifference and double dealing are prices that bring disaster."
Newspaper comment on the appointment of Charles W. Anderson is generally favorable. In argued to bolster up the prospects of President Harding's re-election in 1924 it may be too late. While, on the other hand, many are saying, "He is not a good candidate" or "lacoonically; "While the lamp holds out to burn, the vilest sinner may return."

It was pointed out by one of the group who knows the workings of the several lodges that he is connected with, that as far as the professional man is concerned, we would never have a home or building of our own, if we depended on them.
A sorry situation, I must admit, to think that men who have all advantages of a higher education, who should be first and foremost in all things pertaining to racial betterment and pride, to be so lax in either attending their lodge or mingling with the brothers when they have something to raise money for or to keep up with them of some place they may call them. We was pointed out, also, that some of those said brothers reap a goodly sum from their respective lodges through examinations and other professional duties; yet not one dime goes back to their lodge, only as dues or some assessment.
To these brothers, I will ask, "Do you think those brothers that you

have joined with are any less because you became a part of them? Or was it your intention, just to join so that when out of the city and meet some professional brother who is a true brother to his lodge at home, you can fraternalize with them and call yourself Big Boy, and at the same time you hardly remember the name of one member or your lodge.
We oftimes in our eagerness for business preach about race pride, and how we should spend our monies among one another. We point with pride to other racial groups and what they have did to achieve success, yet when we as an organization, attempt to do something for the betterment of our conditions, the one that will stay farsthest from us in our struggles today, is this dote which has been successful in our last dollar on their mortgage, deplored the fact that of the many professional men that they had on their rooter, not one dime had they spent to help to pay that debt, other than their assessment.
My answer to this indictment is they are ashamed of their brothers The answer should be then, I AM ASHAMED OF YOU.

A patrol was summoned and the gang was taken to Sixteenth District station. All were discharged with the exception of Timbers, alleged proprietor of the place.
GAVE WRONG. NUMBER
When Arthur Lunn was arrested by the police of the Forty-second District for driving an auto while intoxicated he was asked his address, the would you like to have, boss?" in question. He was told to give the correct number. He then gave a number which would be about in the middle of the Schuylkill River.
Shot Man, Arrested
Charged with aggravated assault and battery with and attempt to kill by shooting, Edith Cloud, of Bainbridge Street; near Twelfth, was held without bail for court by Magistrate Grills, at the Second District Court, at the corner of Fourth Avenue to have shot Bradley Elephant following an argument at Thirteenth and South Streets.
She was arrested by District Detective Pierson, of the Second District, as she was running away from the scene. Elephant was taken to the Howard Hospital, where physicians stated that an amputation of his arm would probably be necessary to save his life.
Robbed, Locked in Car
Harvey Rice spent most of yesterday pounding on the door of a boxcar from the inside. When Rice was going home he met another man who drew a revolver and robbed him of $18. Rice, much incensed, began calling the thug names. The hold-up man then pushed him into an armchair and wrestled at a 17th and Washington Avenue, shut and locked the door.
Late in the day a passerby heard Rice hammering on the door and released him. On his description Thomas Edgerton, aged 26, of 17th and Addison Streets, was arrested identified and held under $800 bail.

However, he sympathetically listened to the pleas of his prisoner, and after some discussion stated that he might fix the matter up on payment of a consideration, of course. Gatewood turned over all money he had, $33 in bills, but Harp said it was not enough, and took his watch and had.
After telling Morton his tale, he swore out a warrant against Harp. The policeman found him at the corner of Ridge Avenue and Oxford Street and placed him under arrest. the prisoner started 'willingly' broke away from the teacher the corner of Twentieth Street, broke away from his captor, and kicked him in the stomach, run into the side door of the house of J.

To further intimidate the gathering he displayed a letter which he claimed proved he was not only a member of the Vice Squad, but also a special Federal agent. He settled on this occasion when a collection yielded $68.

Southwest Y.M.C.A. Notes
On Friday night of next week April 13, Dr. Erwin C. Broome, superintendent of schools of the city of Philadelphia, will speak in the Assembly room of the Y. M. C. A under the auspices of the Association. Dr. Broome's subject for the occasion will be "Investing in Our Senses." Those who know the capability of good leaders and his ability as a forceful, convincing speaker, will be delighted with this opportunity to hear him. Under the superintendency of Dr. Broome the local schools have reached a high stage of efficiency and are now pointed out as models for the entire country in the way of organized, well-instructed. This condition has been brought about largely by the splendid reorganization methods instituted by the present head of the schools and his interest in the wel-
fare of the teaching force and the pupils of the schools.
The local schools are co-operating with the officials of the Y. M. C. A. in the program. Musical selections will be rendered by pupils of the Durham, Logan and Stanton schools under the supervision of the teachers of the schools, Professor George Lyle, principal of the Logan School, who serves as master of ceremonies and professor Clarence R. Whyte of the Durham School; will introduce Dr. Broome.
A cordial invitation is extended to all the members and friends of the M. Y. C. A. to hear the address and a special invitation has been extended to the teachers, parents and all interested in the educational affairs of the city to be present. The meeting will be held on Friday night, April 13. No admission is charged and plans have been made to seat a large number on this occasion. Dr. Broome's address will doubtless be a practical message to his audience and is the first of a series of such meetings that will take place in the college of educational and inspirational addresses. Prominent speakers have been engaged for the remaining weeks of April.
These meetings are in the nature of the celebration of the Ninth Anniversary of the occupancy of the present building which was used for the first time in 1914. The secret of the association since that time showed a great deal of very important and constructive work being done in the city for the welfare of men and boys in addition to certain types of work that has been done for women and girls, particularly in the gymnasium and swimming pool.
The two additional properties, making possible the enlargement of the present building of the Young Men's Christian Association, were recently acquired by the Committee of Management of the local institution. These properties adjoin the present structure on the west side and when building now being occupied will make possible an assembly room that is now badly needed and an enlarged gymnasium and swimming pool. The facilities have been needed for a long time and the officials are delighted that there is in prospect facilities that will take care of the rapidly increasing membership. The teams of the Committee of Management and officers of the M. C. A., who have been satisfied for funds to make these additional plans that about one-half of the quota has been raised in cash subscriptions and pledges to the fund. Others of the membership and friends are being seen and it is expected that in the near future the whole amount will be reported. Immediately plans will be considered for the proposed improvements and it is expected that in the future plans for the additions will be ready for the approval of the Committee of Management, in charge of the building.
The report of the executive secretary recently made to the Committee showed that a considerable variety and volume of work had been done during the nine years of the occupancy of the present building, which was completed in the spring of 1981 and accommodated in the dormitories, more than 26,000 used shower baths, 23,000 in gymnasium classes, 112,000 played games on the billiard and pool tables, 26,000 in clubs and organizations using the building, 123,000 attended educational and real estate games in gymnasium, 160 games in gymnasium, employment found for 3,000 men and boys and 22,000 cases where advice and counsel were given. This represents some phases of the work done in the modern Y. M. M. C. A. building by the staff of workers in the character and volume with the additions which the Committee plans for the Southwest Building.
The present need is for $5,500 to come into possession of the two properties described above. The total cost of remodeling conserved in the future may be less than what is provided on condition that the $5,500 is raised. A general appeal is sent to those who desire to make this possible and it is expected that the response will be prompt and generous. Organizations that have already contributed a part of the amount needed.

Justifiable Shooting
Pittsburgh has handed to the world another case of justifiable shooting, according to the verdict of our Coroner's jury in the case of James Monroe, who was shot by a Pittsburgh policeman and killed.
The Coroner released the officer without bail pending the inquest. The Coroner's jury, after hearing the testimony, found that the shooting was justifiable. The officer is discharged by the verdict of the jury.
Without regard to the verdict, let us rehearse the facts for the benefit of law and order.
The officer testified that he asked the man, Monroe, to stop. The man fled and did not stop. The officer said he shot at Monroe while Monroe was fleeing. The bullet wounds were all, in Monroe's back. Monroe had committed no felony, and the officer testified that he had not seen Monroe commit any felony. Yet the officer shot and killed Monroe.
These facts were given to the Coroner's jury. The jury went out—stayed a while, and came back with its verdict of justifiable homicide. The Coroner's judgment in releasing the officer without any bail, was justified by the "verdict" of his jury.
Seeing The Holy Land
The Madam C. J. Walker Company has attempted a very landable piece of constructive education for our ministry, if the campaign to send certain successful contestants to the Holy Land succeeds. The money spent to advertise the Walker Products will be an investment, in more ways than one.
First of all, our ministry needs a trip to the Holy Land. Our ministers are aweighing from books. They are telling us expressions of their conviction of Christ as they get the facts from the New Testament. They tell us of Paul's conversion on his way to Damascus, as they get it from the New Testament. Our pastor grows eloquent on the death and passion of the Christ as he died on the cross at Golgotha, as he gets the facts from the New Testament writers. Books, reports, testimony of others—in short hearsay, evidence, if the life and death of Christ is the best many of our ministers have.
The Madam C. J. Walker Company proposes to allow some successful ministers an opportunity to visit the very sacred soil in which Christ offered up his prayer in the Garden; to see and perhaps travel the very route He took to the little hill on which was erected the cross. The successful ministers will have an opportunity to visit the Jordan and pick for themselves the very spot where John baptised our Saviour. From there they may trace the steps of Paul on his way to Damascus, and on the very spot where Paul saw the light and heard the voice saying: "Saul, Saul, why persecute thou me?" our ministers may stand and get the inspiration that comes to those who see the things that Christ saw, and lived, for the time, in the very city in which our Christ lived. It will be a wonderful experience for those who are fortunate enough to go.
Armed with the facts, the knowledge of the very ground, the sacred spots, the waters, the sands, the land scapes, and cities, the hills and gardens which are the scenes of the childhood of Christ, our ministers can return to us filled with a knowledge of the very places where Christ suffered for sinful man. Thus armed, our ministers need not preach from hearsay. They can preach from experience. The Bible will seem plainer and more forceful. Christ will be brought nearer.
The Madam C. J. Walker Company is to be congratulated upon attempting such a worthy favor as will be ours by reason of the educational value the voyage will have for those who take it.
Two Terms For A Mayor
Senator John P. Harris, theater magnate of Pittsburgh, has introduced in the senate a Bill which would make it possible for a Pittsburgh Mayor to succeed himself. As our Law now stands with respect to cities of the second class, the Mayor can not succeed himself. If the people desire to have a certain individual as Mayor of Pittsburgh, they must allow a term to elapse before they can draft such a man into service the second time. Mayor Magee is serving us a second time, but he did not succeed himself.
Regardless of the motive which brought the question before the senate in the form of the Harris Bill, there is some common sense in making it possible for a man to succeed himself. For example, if the people find a man has served the community well, and they desire to continue his services, the law ought to permit the people to do so. This could not injure the community, nor make of any one man a political boss for the reason he could not serve a second term unless the people desired to have him. Of course, there are those who feel that one term is enough for any one man. There are others who feel that two terms will allow one man to build up too much power. But there is the saving feature which must not overlook. If any man has not served the people in a man, which commends him to the people, he could not be elected into a new cond term.
a speaking proposed law is not any more a Magee law than a law present dispute, as we see it. If Magee is a bad Mayor, he could succeed himself. If he is a good Mayor, and the of treatment to continue in office, the proposed law would If we have safe for the people.

The Dyer Bill Again?
Reports have it that Congressman Dyer will again try to secure favorable action on the Anti-lynching Bill he introduced at the last session. This is a fine spirit on the part of the representative. He has sensed his full duty, and exhibits an intention to discharge that duty fully.
If there is ever any need of advice, it is before action is taken, and not after. If Mr. Dyer expects to enjoy the aid of a united Negro front, he should seek the advice of the united Negro. He can not expect all Negroes to think alike any more than all white men think alike. The very division he finds in the House is due to a difference of opinion among white men. He has to concede some things to his opponents when he can not defeat them. He will find the same rule operating among Negroes. He must learn Negro opinion before trying to give expression to it.
There is but one way to learn Negro opinion. Negro opinion is found among Negroes themselves. No one man has been deputized to speak for all Negroes any more than any one white man has been accepted as the mouthpiece of the white people of this country. If Mr. Dyer will cultivate these truth as he proceeds with his second effort, he will find quite a different Negro opinion in this country.
The Pittsburgh Courier takes the liberty, which it enjoys to ask Senator Barr, of Allegheny County, a few questions, based upon his own record made at the last and the present session of the Pennsylvania legislature.
In 1921, when the Ashbury Bill, known as the Civil Rights bill, was before the senate for action, Mr. Barr declared that he was opposed to the Bill because he said there was a law on the statute books covering the very question raised in the Bill. He cited the whole Act of 1887, dealing with Race and Color. He told the Negro delegates that Pennsylvania has already legislated on the question of "civil rights." What you need, said Barr, is the enforcement of the law as it is on the books.
More than once, Mr. Barr reminded the Senate of the law of 1887. He was opposed to enacting any additional laws when there are laws already on the books.
But this session of the legislature is something else. Mr. Barr has either undergone a change of intelligence or of heart. He has "flip-flipped" as beautifully as a circus rider, and he does seem so sincere about his performances, too.
On the Day Light Saving question, he voted for the new law, and made a strong plea for the Bill.
Mr. Barr, why did you vote for the new law, when you knew there was a law already on the books? You even cited the law of 1887, dealing with Eastern Standard Time. Why, then, did you vote for more law on the question?
On the Dry Law, Mr. Barr voted for the new bill, and made a strong plea for its passage.
Mr. Barr, did you not know that the Government of the United States has long ago passed the Volstead Act? Why did you not stand on the law already on the Books? Did you not know of the Wenier Act? Was not that a law on the liquor question? Why did you need more law on the liquor question? Yet; you voted for the additional Dry Law. You forgot to enforce the law already on the Books.
Mr. Barr, can you harmonize your record with the rules of consistency? Would you dare say to the people of Allegheny County that you are consistent either in your voting or in your arguments for or against legislation?
Mr. Barr, can you sit in Sunday School and hear your children taught the Ten Commandments without shuddering?
The truth is, Mr. Barr, your record is the outpouring of your soul. You cannot change your "spots" any more than can the leopard change his "spots."
Your record shows that you voted against human rights and gave as your reason that there was a law already on the books on the subject. But when your vote was needed on the subject of commercialism, finances, conveniences—mere trifles as compared with human rights, your conscience never suffered the least shock while you voted for "more law" on two subjects on which there was former legislation.
Mr. Barn, the Pittsburgh Courier desires to know why you did this very thing. We have our own opinion, but we prefer your explanation.
Enforcement Is Different
Governor Pinchot succeeded in securing his Dry Law for the State of Pennsylvania. He is now faced with the necessity of enforcing it. This is accepted as something else, again. That there is a determined opposition to the Dry Law may be gathered from the assertion of saloonkeepers who say they will keep open on Sundays, inasmuch as the Governor's new law says nothing against such a practice. They hope, by this means, to draw the Governor into an attempt to prevent them from selling their "near beer" and kindred beverages on Sunday. This will force the Governor to use the old Blue Law of Pennsylvania, which has not been enforced for many years.
The Blue Law makes it a misdemeanor to keep open a restaurant, a drug store, to "bark newspapers" to sell wares, and to operate trolley cars on Sunday.
It is notorious that the Blue Law has not been enforced. Yet, there is such a law on the books. The saloon men have decided to show the Governor how absurd it is to attempt to regulate human appetites by legislation. To close a saloon under the Blue Law is just the same as closing a drug store, or preventing street cars operating, or the sale of newspapers. If the Governor can enforce his Dry Law by any method which will not embarrass other business than the saloons, he will have the opportunity thrust upon him.
There is a feeling that the Governor will ask the legislature to give him power, by other enactments, to enforce his Dry Law. It is this power the legislature is likely to deny him. If he fails to secure additional enforcement law, his Dry Law is a dead letter.
Law is one thing; its enforcement is another.

RIGHT OFF THE BAT
The lineup of the Lincoln Giants this year will be their strongest in years. With the club already playable, the Giants are "hypocrite" Hutkepst, last year with Bachrachs; Marcelle, Brown, Holland and Thomas, is appearing in the lineup, indicating that the proteus will be in the thick of the battle.
Fred. Dower is reported to have left f for Cleveland, while "Bull" Burbour "as announced his intentions of also playing for Claudie.
William Clarke, Pittsburgh Ind now twirling for a southern college nine, will play "Dismukes at the close of school
So "Pete" Hill will step back into bigtime as manager of the Milwaukee Club of the N. N. League. The entire baseball world rejoices at as his good fortune. They say he is a former Pittsburgh lad, and has contributed greatly to the perpetuity of Negro baseball.
Johnny Allen, promising local lad, who played shortstop for the Homestead Grays last season, has been confined to his bed for the last week. At this writing his condition is serious.
The Homestead Grays "Murderer's Row" this year will be more formidable than ever, and many a pitcher will have a twinge of conscience when the two Harrises, Willie Williams, and Lottie "Walker, Jap" Washington Allen, Moody Young and the rest of 'em come to bat.
"Diata" Johnson, last year manager of the, Pittsburgh Keystones, is in Youngstown, and writes that Hayes, White, and Holt will appear with him. The team started practice Wednesday, and from every indication, should be unusually strong.
Sell Hall is out this season with the Cuban Ex-Giants-Keystones, but just what his lineup will be is not certain, as many of the men he depended upon are leaving the city to join other clubs.
Rivalry in Cleveland is tense as the Tates, under the guidance of Claudie "Hooks" Johnson are battling with the Fears Giants, "Candy" Taylor's lads for the best go.
The local Industrial League will be out again this season in unusual, Edgar Thompson League is also on with a fast start in culm.
Practically all clubs in the big leagues have started preliminary rounds of the regular season, now less than three weeks away.
TIS done; the great transaction's done. The New York rin has passed from the domain of speculative realm of reality. An elemental race, conference is as simple civil rights organizations met in New York last week, spontaneous and enthusiastic unanimity adopted the sponsored call. It was entirely fitting that the organizations should take the initiative in this movement represent the aggressive militant spirit which is ever divide and disagree. Harmonization is easy in case ofitive ameliorative movements. Agreement among one of a religious, educational, benevolent and social taken as a corollary. The time is ripe; the spirit of the leaders would hold their peace, the masses would. The race can, must and will get together on matters mental principles and procedure.
The general press has carried the details of the organizations which have issued the call and set the conference on the higher side of April first, 1924. Active committee has best, appointed with plenary pari liminary arrangements. This committee will proceed with its prodigious task. The public will be kept adjoined procedure and progress.
In the meantime, rival cities are bidding for the chance. The mayor of Atlantic City writes: "It is wise that I, in the name of the City Commissioners and the citizens of Atlantic City, extend you a cordial and hospitable to bring your convention to our city." The Boarders' Conference of Pittsburgh, in urging the clan to "Smoky City," passed the following resolution: "That seek cooperation from other various organizations speak this community to join in extending invitation for the occasion of this Conference to be held in Pittsburgh."
Enthusiasm is catching. The biggest task before for the next twelve months is to make a big success of movement.
PRESIDENT HARDING, through his next political friend, nounced his decision to stand for a second term. Any candidate can renominate itself, but re-election is with the people. The command the strategic positions. The persuasive power of office is great. Every office holder must need a booster. Any Republican who dares now declare himself a candidate nomination put himself not only at enmity with the administration, but with his own authority. Mr. Harding's time by the forelook. Who dares dispute the right of way when dent when once he has declared his intentions? Any sports risk ten to one on Mr. Harding's nomination, but no good sports care to hazzard a wager beyond that.
BORN IN SOUTHERN REPUBLICAN politicians, white and black only commodity is delegates, and there is no market. When the field is full of rivals, each one disputes to the fertile Southern field, with his little barrel, delegates to the national convention. The early bird is to get the worm. An interesting political story might ten on "Twice Sold Delegates." This disgraceful and squabble has become a national scandal. It has cost dearly. It has grieved his friends and justified his Sherman, Reed and Robosevelt bore the pang with his and sorrow. When the South would deprive the New constitutional rights, no Northern statesman will say them, "Nay." The spectacle of Southern delegates dates their courage. The man who buys has only cared the man who sells his vote. There will be no buying of Southern delegates this time; for the simple reason it is not necessary. For this much, Mr. President, the
TWO years of Mr. Harding's administration has gone into foresight the faxes with the Negro? The Birmingham speech was logical rather than a political announcement. The President only venture in the field of sociology has been wholly barren of results. He laid down a promise, which no Negro approves, and a conclusion which no Southern white man accepts. My openness on this memorandum address expresses the feeling of every Negro on the ground who offered offence to the President would doubtless have signed the Dyer Bill laid both houses of Congress. But he did nothing to further it pass gave the measure only his lukewarm approval and tepid reappointment of Judge Terrrell he followed the good predecessor Wilson. In choking the liberty out of Hayt, he followed the same course as the president, sensed every semblance of political courage. Mr. Harding moved in the face of the voiciferously asserted and stoutly maintained the South, but reversed the policy of his own party as declared dent Taft. Indeed, President Harding reversed his own decision. But the appointment met with defaat, and great was the defaat of the Negro. The president, in South, then, the abortive attempt does the race move harm than unsuccessful attempt serves to discourage, if not to stop, the same direction.
We must credit the administration with the effort within the effect. We are reminded that Mr. Wilson named a colored Register of the Treasury, but, who, through senatorial visitation to reach the promised land. The designation of several distinguished men for high positions with racial function is commendable, cent appointment of Charles W. Anderson in New York lives the hurt felt over the defeat of Cohen. While no colored throw his hat over the moon when Mr. Harding's renomination thralled him, the prediction that the vest major voters will still remain on board the old Republican ship for the reason that the rival Democratic ship makes no provision for color.
HOW many Negroes are now entering the government through civil service examinations? When I was boy I secured a government appointment by this mean colored men and women recruited the ranks of government in those days. Has this channel been closer race by discriminatory methods on part of governors? What are our Negro Statesmen doing about it are shut out from appointive positions and also from aitive clerkships, we shall very soon be wholly eliminated ernmental functionaries.
THE Alpha Phi Alpha, the oldest of our intercollegiate feature set aside April thirteenth as the opening day of the "Go to Week."

LAST Sunday I addressed the Secular League of Wake city on the subject of "Lawlessness and Lynchism" organization is anti-religious, or at least anti-Christian motive and method. It claims to approach all questions free and open mind. There is probably not a white man association in the city which would have permitted one else to bring such a matter before it. It seems that the minds that have emanated themselves from gious shackles have a deep sympathy for and a liveliness in the inherent rights of man.
