Several hard thumps to Jamaica's seemed to leave the Kid in bad way, but he came through. A number of times the two fighters rallied it furiously and had the wedge edge.

These preparations are very notice- absent, except in the vicinity of 129th court, where two new courts are built, one of which will be occupied by the St. Thomas Tennis Club. The Cosmopolitan Tennis Club, which has always been the first of the clubs to get ready, has had the misfortune to have their courts takeaway, on the spot where formerly on a finesse courts Harlem, now stands alone at a station for motor cars. This is to be regretted, for with the acquiring of young blood this club was on the way to doing much for tennis. The Ideal Tennis Club, supposed to be the foremost club, has not made a move yet, except for the holding of the interest will not relegate this, the most popular of outdoor games, to the confines of the woul pile as has been the case with the Amateur Basketball Clubs. And may we ask what of the New York Tennis Association? No word has come from this August body of tennis. Some time during the season a committee was appointed to rate the local players, but no ratings have yet been given to the press. We wonder if the Face that two of the members of the rating committee are members of the Ideal Tennis Club has been the face. Whatever the cause, the sport loving public should like to know how their favorites stood during the last season. The National Association is also guilty of the same offense. Why must such things be? Where will we land in the field of sports if we don't wake up to a sense of our obligations, dilatory methods in this and in any other way is an uppercut of the eastern city so far ahead of the locals. It ought to be an easy job to rate them. E. C.

The other position withholds until after the rating committee has published its findings. With the moving out west of the National, this season we expect to see quite a few Westerners bidding for homes, but it will be impressed to hear that Mr. Clarke, of Jamaica, is coming here to help New York. We should rather like to see him in action against Mr. Brown. By the looks of the new Tates, there must have been an excursion for the horse.

Show That Jack this approach to meet him in Rim Recorctingle sound. in her eyes and Johnson Is Sensively After 24 Years rangford a Champion After 22 Years Fighting. Who can explain why colored gladiators, longer in jastie harness, live at the white ones—and the white ones seem to improve after they have hit the "down grade" line of thirty? All the laws of athletes seem to rule that the white man should outlast his darker brother. For the white man usually sticks to a rigorous training program, and through white feathered leather in a single year moderate in his habits. The colored battler lives a life exactly the reverse. Study the career of any of the ebony warriors and you will find that in ten years not a single one ever trained as much as the average white feathered leather in a single year. You likewise will find that they indulge in spores of dissipation, which dissipation does not necessarily mean drinking. But it does mean that they eat things destined to rob an athlete of condition, that they go late hours, and sometimes skip a whole night of sleep. Yet, long after the white fighter has been repeatedly beaten, finally sidetracked and forgotten, the Negro continues along his warring ways and lingeras a fistic star. Jack Johnson was born in 1878. He began his career in 1899. In the years since then no athlete ever has gone to greater excess, or displeased with his warrior. Yet, here in 1928, he is still a marvel in the fistic world. In gymnastium workouts he has taken on the best of the young heavyweights, white and colored, and made each and every one of them look like a champion in addition that Johnson is now matched for a ring battle in Cubs. Sam Langford, born in 1886, became a fighter when he was sixteen years old. That means he got his fistic start in 1902. In 1923—twenty-two fistic seasons. later—Langford won a heavyweight championship in Mexico. Then there was Joe Gans, who started his fistic career in 1891, when he was seventeen years old. The wonder fighter had his best look. And in his reason that he didn't endure beyond that is that he practically killed himself making weight for Battling Nelson in their championship battle a few years before. George Dixon, born in 1870, started to fight in 1886 and lingered in ring warfare until 1906. That twenty years. Dixon died in 1909. Sam McVehy, who started to fight in 1903, when he was eighteen years old, continued to be a ring star almost up to the time of his death in 1922. One of the ring inmortals is Peter Jackson. Born in 1863, he started fighting twenty years later. His last bout was in 1893, which meant eighteen years of fighting in the ring. He was born in 1851, lilting his first fighting in 1901 and lust for twenty years. So here you have six outstanding colored ringen, none of whom ever obeyed implicitly the golden rules of health, and none of whom ever paid attention to the average ring lifetime of each was in the neighborhood of twenty years.

Howard Announces Athletic Program; Track Team To Take Part In Penn Relays WASHINGTON, D. C. April 26.—The Howard University Tennis Tournament announced for April 25th-May 5th, is arousing great interest in the cast. Letters will be awarded to six men and four women and cups will go to the single and final. The finals will be played on the university courts, May 5th at 8 o'clock. Among the special features of the tournament will be the presentation in all probability of Dick Morris, the New York champion, and the favorite B. B. Bubba, of Baltimore. The James B. Bubba, of Boston, has awarded a cup for the events. The Alfred Athletic House and Sport Mart, of Washington, have also awarded cups. Donations are expected from many other firms shortly. Talladega College, of Talladega, Ala, has asked Howard for a date on her football calendar to play a game in Atlantic City, N. J. Howard's schedule is already filled, and as it is against the policy of the university to play, post-season games, Howard must ignore the challenge, as was done in the case of Atlanta U. The chances of Howard's relay team staring a comeback and taking a heat at the Penn Relay Carnival on April 28th, was greatly augmented through a recent change in class or group that will oppose the Blue and White quartet. Communication from Mr. Orten, Howard, to Howard, athletic director, recommended another group higher than Class C, yet lower than Class B, which in turn was accepted by Director Watson. The colleges represented in the Virginia Wilberforce University Bucknell, Colgate, University of Montreal and Howard. Game Sidelights By" "Coon" Bert Stokke will the first fan to enter the park at 1:30 last Sunday. Big Roy Moore, former home run slugger of the Tates in years gone by, was in uniform Sunday and handed the initial bag in old time style. Cordova, the flashy Cuban short stop, amused us by his constant chatter while resting on the bench between innings. We are planning on taking a course in Spanish soon so we can understand our friend, "Cordy?" Bep Taylor, Manager and Pitcher Richmond Giants Hold Washington Potomacs To Tie By C. L. Washington, Jr. RICHMOND, Va., April 26. Ben Taylor's Washington Potomacs made their initial bow in the "pro" baseball arena here last Wednesday at Mayo, with Richmond Giants to a 2-2 tie, in a brilliant game of baseball. Lightning-like double plays and remarkable fielding featured, the keenly-contested game, viewed with much interest by the enthusiastic field proved to be of the highest and this field performed is very well. nobly. The only position at which any arms or torso can shortest station, where Brown booted a few; but with the arrival of the veteran Clark to occupy this berth, Taylor will have a "machine" in which each coq will, in all probability, function smoothly. The team's splendid form, their main asset being the masterful twirling of Henderson, a curve ball artist, Richmond's star mountainer held the group of batters with a the "rep" in check and allowed the Potomacs only seven scatters. The Giants tallied in the second inning, when North smashed out a single to right field, Carter walked and Clark smashed one through center, scoring North. After reaching the outfield, the mack scored again for the home team when North hit for two bases. The Potomacs got their runs in the seventh; after Brown walked, B. Taylor singled and both scored when Henderson fielded Ridgey's hit and over the third baseman's head. Woods was the fielding star of the day, cavorting like a coll in the outer garden, and Ben Taylor's consistent work at first was a decided advantage to the visitors. Lewis Perry starred at third for Richmond, and his teammate, Clark, has an accurate throwing arm. Talladega Nine Wins Two From Tuskegee By H. Samuel Hill. TALLADEGA, Ala., April 26—Talladega College defeated Tuskegee Institute in both games of the series 7-4 in the first game and 5-2 in the second, featuring by sensational fielding and good pitching. In the first game Edwards, twirling for the Talladegans allowed only three hits, while Knox allowed only three hits in the second game. Groves and Nicolas Woodridge and Talladega Woodridge was the star at short for Tuskegee. His fielding was characterized by his ability to throw accurately. Trimble was the star at bat for Talladega, getting two safeties in first game and a homer, a triple and two singles in the second game. C Totals ..... 38 1 4 39 4 GIANTS ..... 38 1 4 39 4 AB. R. H.

TATE FIELD, April 26—The Tellings, world's class AA champs, are certainly the happiest bunch in town, for they finally annexed an 8-6 victory over the Tate Stars, their ancient rivals last Sunday at Tate Field before a crowd of 800 shakers. We do not propose to offer any alibis for the Tates, but must confess that the Novario warriors received all the breaks of the game and most of all were ably assisted by the terrific wind which played have with the entire Tate regiment. we "was Boots" McClain who started the meles by a terrific line drive to deep left and gave the diminutive third sacker his third two-bagger of the season. He scored by a sacrifice off of the bat of Freddy Dower and an infield to Cordova. At this point the Tellings head to set the Tates on a merry chase, it proved to be a bevy of high flies just over the infielder's head, the terrific wind carried the ball a bit short of its intended landing place. By this series of tricks the ice cream team registered in the fourth, two in round five, and their final marker in the sixth. McClure was assigned to the hill by Manager Johnson, but was relieved of his hard luck task by Branahan, who also met with the same trouble as McClure. The only difference was that the terrific gale caused Branny to be a big wild, but only one Telling man crossed the platter during his four rounds of mound duty. We scored 8-5 in the last of the ninth the Stars made a bitter attempt to even the count, but Charley Dorknott, the Telling's new graduate hurler from Class B circles, managed to put a stop to the proposed rally. Manager Claude Johnson called upon Roy Moore; the former Babe 10 James Stephens and a power favorite. He is member of the famous Philadelphia Giants of years gone by. Our team were Bowman, Rube Stern, original "Home Run" Johnson has to his credit in "James one perfect game against the Not a batter reached first.

Louisville News Hits "Straight" The April 14 issue of the Louisville news contains the picture of a man who is a member of the Lincoln Theater in that city. There is also a number of theatrical works in the city, a reader on the subject of the "Negro" in the theatrical world; and a masterful editorial that describes the contentions of the letter writer. In that editorial, it is pointed out that the colored theaters suffer an additional cost because of the good plays because, such persons as the letter writer referred to deny the right to play in the theater to the promotion necessary to the promotion better things. It is a fact that the letter writer refers to play to their own people, yet are obliged to go into the general market with their wares because of the race, those economically able to support better things will not do so. In the theaters of the race The Will Sarian Cook tour has recently been turned into a 14th season.

The SUN GENT'S FESTIVALS A Small Damage in Fire American Propaganda Instilling Spirit of Race Hatred In Old Country LONDON, England, April 26.—Prejudice is growing in England. In fact, it is claimed that the agenda money are fostering and encouraging it to a remarkable degree. It has been especially noticeable in the theatrical field, where recently there has been a remarkable demand for coloured talent. Several companies have already come over, and others are planding to follow, including the famous "Shuffle Along" aggregation that for two years cheered America. The troupe of American Colored musical comedy artists as the star turn in a show marking the reopening of London's famous old music hall, the Empire, and the engagement by another manager of a second band of entertainers. The Empire has resulted in several theatrical critics trumping up a color war, which has become so acute that the opening of a cabaret, in which colored actors were to appear, has been indefinitely postponed. The Differences between theaters, already the debut in Sir Alfred Butts' appropriately named show, "The Rainbow." They paraded their wares to the jollification of the greater part of the audience, but to the "disgust" of certain critics, who next morning continued their disparagement colored enclaves, which began weeks before the show opened. The basis of most of their criticisms has been the unemployment prevalent throughout the English-speaking world, worse by invading aliens, but they also injected the consideration of color in their comments. The producers, however, maintain the box office receipts to demonstrate Col Atlanta University Wins from Howard InLynching Debate ATLANTA Ga, April 28—Atlanta University defended Howard University in their annual debate by a unanimous decision of the judges Friday night.

Agent Is Sought In Big Insurance Fraud In South Certificates of Hundreds of Persons "Death" Forged and Big Sum Is Secured. ATLANTA, Ga., April 26—Foragers of death-certificates, of policy holdings of death-certificates, of record certificates to state department of vital statistics and of indorsements on checks sent in payment to supposed dead beneficiaries was Tuesday revealed by the forgery bond department of the National Security Council case of the agent at Washington, Ga., of a local Insurance company. In view of the fact that the agent, who is being sought by the surrey company, committed five alleged forgeryes on each of the police officers in the Wilkes county case one of the boldest cases of forgery in the hisi-ge Georgia criminal annals. The agent is said to have secured a considerable sum as the result of his operations. The method pursued was the forgery, as outlined by officials of the Georgia company; were as follows: Method Employed After he had issued the policies to bona fide colored patrons of the Atlanta Insurance Company, the agent forged a physician's certificate of the death" of the policy holder. That agent forged a certificate and later a death certificate to state bureau of vital statistics, which officially recorded the "death" of the policy holders. The death claims were next forwarded to the home office and checks were issued in payment to beneficiaries and then agent. The latter then forged indemnities of the beneficiaries and deposited the checks in Washington and Atlanta banks. Meanwhile the policy holders were ignorant of the fact that their "death" had officially occurred, and it was due to the fact that one of the beneficiaries was unable to pay a premium that the fraud was brought to light. Losses Covered Tuesday the claims were presented by the Atlanta Insurance Company to the local forgery bond company, which insures the insurance company against forgery, and the losses were covered by the surety company. It is stated that policy holders will be protected against less despite the fact that their policies have been marked "paid" and cancelled. Officials of the surety company Tuesday stated that this is the second case of forgery of its particular kind to come to light in the history of the organization. The wage was more than it had been paying it had progress due to the fact that the agent had apparently kept up some of the policies by paying premiums out of his own pocket in order to cash in heavily later.

Now the men militant entities want the Minister of Labor to intervene in the role of liberator and encapitate the entry of the second troupe to the country. "The Rainbow" first night, was enlivened by the low white comedian John C.

It was also reported that one minister forced his attention upon a young girl until her year or so four girls in the Lincoln School have been forced to marry their youthful paramours in order to give legitimate birth to their children and that five other girls are the victims of immoral escapades. Professor Smalls resigned "under fire," following a threatened exposure by the Ministerial Alliance. The School Board hesitated to take action on the charges preferred by the ministers and they called on officers, who were sent home until eleven o'clock Wednesday to resign. In case he refused, the ministers declared they would have him hailed into Court to answer serious charges.

"The whole matter was branded as an attempted blackmail, and a political framing, but the public schools, who made known this fact through the press: "This same organization, backed by two or three jealous and disgruntled persons, resigned the small, in the last local school board election, and swore that they would up-turn 'heaven and hell' to accomplish their ends and purposes. They have opened, and brushed, in dirty, unhanded mid-sizing, since then, to accomplish this, feeling that they had the ear of one member of the board, but could not understand the assistant as he knew their game. "The story as presented to the school board by the Milsterial Alliance is nothing but a network of lies. Their charges of undue familiarity between girl students of the school and myself is schelutely innane. My relations toward all of my pupils during the three years I served as principal were open and above-board, and I defy the Alliance to prove that they were otherwise."

The judge, who had just returned from a trip abroad, said there was an abundance of labor on the other side of the ocean. "Laborers would be glad to come here and work; but they are re-educated." Judge Gary said, "and isboro is scared." Believes In Restriction Monday morning Judge Gary de-licitated that Judge Gary of unrestricted immigration. "On the contrary," he said, in a statement to newspaper men, "I believe there be restrictions. I do not think our immigration laws should permit immigration that restricts immigrant inimical to domestic labor of any kind, to our government or to the public welfare." "If the general public should believe generally that I favor an unlimited immigration it might be harmful to the steel industry, to the masses of workmen and to the government. The reason for his statement, he said, was that some newspapers had assumed in editorsials that he had expressed an opinion in favor of unrestricted immigration at the stockholders' meeting of the United States Steel Corporation last week. He argued for that conclusion which was based on a misconception resulting from d lack of knowledge as to exactly what he said at that time.

The procession was headed by the Trinity Lodge band. The eulogy was delivered by Past Grand Exalted Ruler Scott. During his address, the speaker dwell often on the position of the king, and belongs to the greatest reps that God has ever created. He spoke in glowing terms of the demapped brothers and sisters and instructed the living in their duty to the race and order to which they "For almost 23 years this order has been the butt of persecution, but today it stands head and shoulda- above every secret order in the country. I am glad to see that two ministers in this church have enough to connect themselves, with the order. "Every. Negro man should remember that he is the son of a Negro woman who strugge, and strugged at a time when liberty was threatened. It was also the thing that we need most now is race consciousness and pride. Slaves caused distrust of one, another. When the Negroes learn to stand by one another, class and race prejudices will be respected. We need stout-hearted and brave men to place themselves on the altar to fight for their race. The condition of the Negro Mr. Scott further asserted, is the same than it has been at any time since the constitution and it grows worse. Every race has been benefited by the world war except the American Negro. The country's leaders are pleasing for the exorcement of the slave, and never fight to enforce the 14th and 15th amendments."

"We can boast of the fact that we belong to a race that has never had a traitor who took up arms against us, and we are as worthy as any race to have rights under the constitution.

TALLARASSEE, Fla., April 26—The House Wednesday voted, 63 to 15, to abolish corporal punishment in this state in the handling of county prisoners. The action came on the adoption of an amendment offered by prosecutors. Savis, of Lehigh, to the measure which would abolish the county convict lease system. It would be physically impossible for a man to receive 100 lashes with a strap and survive, Dr. T. Capers Jones, convict camp physician employed by the Putnam Lumber Company at Clara, Fla., told the joint investigators inquiring into the death of Martin Tabert, of North Dakota, and other reported brutalities in prison camps. Dr. Jones attributed the primary cause of Tabert's death to pneumonia, contracted after he had treated him for a disease which caused pains, pains, ulcers and挫ches on the lower Lumber Company Employee. The camp doctor said he had been employed by the Putnam Lumber Company for three years and a half and that the convicts were treated humanly; were well fed and that he never heard any general complaints. He described the camp as being sanctioned by all recommendations made by him to the company were carried out. Other witnesses testifying before the committee told how Tabert had been administered more than 100 lashes by a whipping boss named Walter Higgenbotham on one Friday night to dignity the convicts, and that death resulted the following Wednesday. Food Testimony Conflicts. A. B. Shivers, an ex-guard, said that the convicts were fed on hot water, bacon and corn bread for breakfast six times a week. On Sunday they were given coffee.

Gardner, in answer to questioned by John Stokes, chairman, declared that he was whipped three times within a week; that he received approximately fifty licks each time, and that Walter Higgenbotham was the whipping boss.

I. A. NEWS The meeting at "Liberty Hall" on Sunday, April 23rd, was a success of great magnitude from every point of view. The speakers were in good form and gave justice to the occasion and those who missed it lost a volume of good thoughts. The Rev. Cornish and his assistant were in charge of the meeting and he helped them showed that they have made a deep study of the Holy Book, and that they were able to impart the doctrine in a way that it would be digestible. The president, Hon. George A. Weston, in a brief way explained a fine editorial of the Pittsburgh Press on the truth and how all of us make light of the truth in many reasons. He paid attention to Mr. McCoy, the cartoonist. He also refreshed the memory of the members that the president, General Honorable Marcus Garvey, will speak here at the People's Gospel Tabernacle Thursday, May 3rd, at S o'clock. the regular Sunday evening meeting held at "Liberty Hall" Colwell and Miller streets, Sunday, April 15th was a regular success, although the audience was not up to expectations. The Rev. Z. D. Green, as usual, was in charge of the religious exercises and he read for the evening lesson, St. John 3:1. The program was then turned into the hands of the Lady President, Mrs. L. Lafoe and the other marks said that she was more than glad to see that the Young People are taking more interest in the Universal Negro Improvement Association and to hope that in the near future the so-called educated negroes; who think that they are above those negroes who are members of the Association, who are not all races that all races are judged by the mass. Mr. Logan, a member of the Chicago Division, who during his stay in Pittsburgh was doing his very best to help the Association said that his departure will be soon, but until then his service in the future will be the same as the best. This gentleman made speeches and asked all the negroes should stick together and stay together always to be of any good. Dr. S. F. Willman and Mr. Petner of "The Woodmen" were the principal speakers of the evenings and both gentlemen left the house. The Hon. Goo W. Weston, president of the Pittsburgh Local, in introducing Dr. Willman said that in introducing the speaker he was sure that he was introducing to the members and the audience with the race of which he was so fortunate to belong and said that the association and presence of prizes would benefit more if men of the type of Dr. Willman could be The subject of Dr. Williman's talk was "The Price of Liberty." Those who were not at "Liberty Hall" missed a great treat as time and space will not permit us to deal at length with the injured on the other hand the following will be enough to throw light on the sub-the price and is still paying it. He "Higgenbotham told me afterwards that he thought I was one of those turpentine fellows, eight men, who had been in the camp." He was a victim of mistaken identity" he was asked. "Yes," replied the witness. "The boss whipped of the eighteen turpentine men after that. He said they complained about treatment they received in the last camp they were in." The witness related the story of the flogging given Tabert by Higgenbotham four days before the Dakotaan died, corroborating witnesses who testified toward this end at the hearing yesterday. A list of thirty-seven witnesses, including Mrs. Ben Tabert, of Munich, N. D., mother of Tabert, and Ben Bent, of Munich, submitted today by Assistant Attorney General Grison, of North Dakota. Persons residing in the states of Washington, North, New York, Tennessee and Florida are scheduled to come here to appear before the committee. the price, Marcus Garvey has paid not overlook the fact that there are some fundamentals that we as a race must not overlook, and some of the points that we must always have in mind are that the Negro race alone must expect the price. When the race will remain said and done the race will remain that we until we start to see things from a practical angle our efforts will be considered wasted.

CHAIRMAN GARY REQUESTED TO UTILIZE COLORED AMERICANS TO SUPPLY LABOR SHORTAGE WASHINGTON, D. C., Apr. 25—Doctor Emmett J. Scott, Secretary-Treasurer of Howard University, an institution specializing in the training of Negro youth here at the National Capital, today sent the following telegram to Honorable E. H. Gary, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the United States Steel Corporation: TRELEGRAM Hon. Elbert H. Gary, Chairman, Board of Directors, United States Steel Corporation, Hoboken, N. J. I have read with interest your statement reported in Associated Press Dispatches this morning declaration principally to present immigration laws. You are reported to have said that "there is a great abundance of labor on the other side of the world that would be glad to come here and develop our American nation and that there are in this country today twelve million colored people. Eighty million of these twelve million are in the South. They are citizens of the American Republic. They possess one crown and oppressed by constant conditions that hinder and prevent their fullest development and the enjoyment of the fullest American citizenship. They possess strong bodies and have a real pathetic character and are uneducated institutions. They are in position to supply the labor shortage to which you refer if plans are undertaken on a large and important scale to transfer them to the centers where their needs are necessary to look to foreign shores to supply any labor shortage that may exist in American industry when there is this large and sympathetic group within reach. These Colored Americans are not alienated to the Government nor do they harbor Bolshevistic or Anarchistic ideals. They are ready and willing to help develop the resources of their country, but the position of the Government is certain and they are to lend the weight of your great influence in opening larger group of people struggling under these conditions in the rural districts of the far South where lynching and peonage are practiced upon them with impunity. Your support of such a movement will be gratefully appreciated. I have read with interest your statement reported in Associated Press Dispatches this morning declaration of the state of the world that would be gled to come here and develop power in the country. More certainty to say that there are in this country today twelve million colored people. Eighty万 million of these twelve million are in the South. They are citizens of the American Republic. They are tied to one crop system and have a real patriotic affinity. They are in position to supply the labor shortage to which you refer if plans are undertaken on a large and important scale to transfer them to the centers where their services are needed. It seems unheard of to supply any labor shortage that may exist in American industry when there is this large and sympathetic group within reach. These Colored Americans are not aliens they have never sought to displace. Colored Americans are an archaistic ideals. They are ready and willing to help develop the resources of their country. Will it not be possible for one circumstances as you think it would be possible for the great influence in opening larger group who are struggling under adverse conditions in the rural district. The teaching and preaching are practiced upon them with impunity. Your support of such a movement will be gratefully appreciated. (Signaq) Emmett J.

In the language of the South, this is the white man's country. It reports coming from Florida anent the brutalities committed upon convicts hired out by a judge for $20.00 per man, true, even in part, some one ought to call in the Indians to teach the white man how to run his country. A drunken Judge, a drunken Sheriff, drunken deputies,—all drunk, constituted a "Court," we whisper the name, to sit in judgment on other men who were charged with being drunk. This is travesty at its zenith. This happened right here in these United States—the country so anxious to meddle in Europe. It has been the complaint of Negroes for years that slavery actually exists in this country. No one heard the cry of the Negro. It was simply the cry of a "nigger." No one, but God, ever hears the cries of the black man. It remained for the death of a white boy to make the startling disclosure that there is a system of slavery in Florida which beggars even the olden days of the auction block and the whipping post. A young white man, convicted of some crime, was "farmed out" to some lumber camp in Florida. A man who was a jailor for twenty years said the judge got $20.00 for every man he sentenced to a certain employer. The young man was whipped by the "camp flogger" and as a result of his wounds received, he died. He was buried in a hole of water, according to one witness; while others stated that there was a suitable ceremony held over the remains. The "flogger" said he whipped the boy, but insisted that he whipped him "mildly," giving him about ten or fifteen lashes. Others testified that as many as one hundred nineteen lashes were given the youth. One of the leading witnesses for the Committee was a former jailor. He had been in the service for 28 years. He said while he was jailor, a colored woman was taken by him and others to the country and there placed her across a stump and whipped her in an endeavor to make her tell something about a case under investigation. This same witness, said he deputies were drunk in fact too drunk to climb the hole. tree and throw the rope across the limb in order to complete the hanging of the woman. The rope had been placed about her neck—but the man lacked the physical strength, due to drunkenness, to complete the job. This was never heard of until the white youth died, and an investigation was demanded. The United States stands convicted of hypocrisy, if it permits the impression to get abroad that everything is being done that can be done to protect American citizens in their rights. The very records of this country give us the lie abroad. This country seems equal to any demand, except the one to control and properly punish criminals. In crime, this country is helpless. In every other endeavor, this country seeks to take the lead. Our "Near East" Drives, our loud declarations about the poor starving people in the far East; our mouthings about feeding starving Russians; and our chesty determination to "get into Europe" in an official way—all are but the boastings of a giant hypocrisy. We are nothing, but "blowers;" braggers, strong-num bullies, if we do not first convince the world that we CAN aid our own civilization of the very "social cancers" we seem to be able to discover in other countries. Recall our missionaries, recall our Relief Funds, revise our code of ethics and set our own house in order, lest the truth be known, and hypocrisy become the target of the civilized world. The Malone Gift To Howard Our whole group rejoices with Howard University in its rightful pride over the recent gift of Mr. and Mrs. Aaron E. Malone, more extensively known in the business world as the proprietors of Pope College, St. Louis, Mo. The gift spells the business triumph of the Malones; and indicates to the world that their group are as safe guardians of wealth as any silicon group. In making the donation to Howard University, the Malones have emphasized the difference between flashy demonstrations for the gallery and the more substantial performance which carries its own applause. To have risen in the business world to the point where a surplus can be set aside to aid other and higher enterprises, bespeaks the spirit of Poro College. When the nobler sentiment is permitted to rise and find expression in a service which touches mankind, truly may it be said that fortune has its virtues. Not once have we seen any false show by the Poro College people. They have grown in our esteem for that very reason. Their every effort 'has been directed toward the substantial things in life, and they have contributed, as largely to the world as they have received. In our own way, by our own might and skill, we, like others can climb the heights of business accomplishment. The Malones have shown us the way. As soon as we pass the age of frivolity, of show and idle pomp, we shall find ourselves as a group, and begin seriously the "business of making a living." Howard University will always live to tell us of the Malones; and we shall point with pardonable pride to our latest self-made benefactors whose example it shall be our pleasure to follow. The Malones are fixtures in our social and industrial fabric. We extend our congratulations! The Lucy Stone Scholarships In establishing a scholarship at Howard for both sexes of car group, and a scholarship at the University of Pittsburgh for girls, the Lucy Stone Suffrage League of Allegheny County has placed Pittsburgh in the front rank of the great school of self-help. The incident shows that we are growing in consciousness and vision. The good women of the Lucy Stone League are careful to give Pittsburgh full credit for the funds raised; and the community, in turn, is quite as positive in its compliments to KUSH YOU BOYS OUT QUARRELING AND FIGHTING EACH OTHER AND TAKE CARE OF BABY NEGRO AMERICA MOST INHABITED AMERICAN MIGRATION NEGRO BUSINESS BUTCHER THE recent excursion taken by Secretary of the Navy Denby included Jamaica, one of the islands from which has come $e$ large percentage of our south sea islanders. The description given of Jamaica is interesting from more view points than one. The official report of the trip gives some very dark pictures of the land of Jamaica. It pictures the women of the island as laborers, working the roads beside the men. Common labor is paid 85 cents per day. Men who receive as high as 60 and 75 cents per day are considered well paid. They live in bamboo huts, not one in a thousand has shoes for his feet, 50 and 60 miles per day beside the ox cart or the burrows is a common task—and all the while no shoes and little clothing are worm. Pidgin English is the language of the majority. The few educated speak the over-worked English. The natives will not work, say the planters, and the natives say they can not get work. Poverty is all over the island. Perhaps other islands are better. This is the island from which many of our West Indian Negroes have come. It is this type of islander who his migrated to this country for the purpose of making a better living than he could make on his native soil. Conditions as pictured by the Denby party are probably responsible for the migration. Surely, the plight of the Jamaican is nothing to be proud of, if reports are reliable. And this type of islander has come to this country with a very fixed determination. The West Indian has tried to impress the American Negro with the difference between a "British subject" and the ex-slave. The West Indian Negro, with few exceptions which are noteworthy, has tried to assume leadership in this country, and his efforts have been the cause of no little dissension. The American Negro will never agree that a foreign-born Negro can enter this country from an island such as Jamaica, equipped with enough information to lead in the great subjects affecting our group in the United States. A glaring example of their inability to furnish a constructive leadership is found in Harlem, New York City. There is no better section of the great city than Harlem. It is most desirable in houses, in beauty, in arrangement and convenience. About one half of the Negro population, or a very large percentage of it, is composed of West Indians. Perhaps not all of them are from Jamaica, but they have a common sympathy. And what has Harlem? Not a bank, not a first class drug store, not a high grade restaurant, not a theater, not a single big business, nothing that does not enjoy the financial support of the Jews. Harlem is mortgaged to the roof, and the Jews hold the mortgages. This condition does not exist in a single other city in the United States where the population is entirely made up of American Negroes. There is something about the very life of Harlem that make it static. It simply stands still. The West Indian is not the American type. There is little or no business co-operation between the groups. The one prefers to operate independently of the other. Energies, capital, interest, sympathies and every other ingredient of big business are divided. The whole district is pulling against itself. The West Indian simply will not follow; he insists upon leading, a facility he can never have while his native temperament endures. Force and direction are lost. Jamaica has nothing to offer us, if the Denby party reports conditions accurately. The few fine fellows who form the exception to the rule afford us hope for a blending of groups, but the average West Indian offers us nothing which can excel what we have among our native sons. Water seldom rises above its source. the members of the League. The work has been conducted without the blast of trumpets or ostentation. A quiet, but assiduous campaign has been waged until the funds necessary were made available. There is every indication now that Pittsburgh will maintain this newly created advantage by donating as often as necessity requires. Our men and women of today are the sources of our achievements of tomorrow. The better we prepare the present generation, the stronger the product of the next. Education has no substitute. We must educate, if we expect to measure with the powers that dictate and govern the activities of the human family. The Lucy Stone has opened an additional door. Pittsburgh must keep that door open. We have had "Mother's Day," "Clean-Up" week, "Flag Day," and "tag-days" by the thousands, but we have never had any day or any week set apart for the Boys of America. It was a happy thought that gave us the suggestion that the whole country devote a week to our boys. It seems that sufficient favor has been developed for the suggestion to insure the observance of Boys' Week from April 29, to May 5. The more one thinks of what may be done for our boys during the proposed week, the larger looms the project. Suppose for the moment, all American boys could be given to know and understand the meaning of the word, "citizen." Suppose the whole week should be devoted to giving our American boys a working definition for "citizen." If our future men could be taught the real meaning of just this one word, the country would reap untold profit from these boys twenty years hence. Each year, some distinct lesson could be taught the American boy. While he grows to manhood, he ought to grow in a better knowledge of the true significance of the common fundamentals which ought to be instilled into every youth of the nation. A common ideal for all boys: a common meaning among Squibs Suppose the Wilson administration had turned over to white doctors and white nurses a hospital for Negro soldiers. What a howl would have gone up from Republican organs. If, as suggested, the Spingarn Medal is given to Robert S. Abbott for founding The Chicago Defender, it should be made in three pieces: One for Abbott, one for Phil Jones and one for Frank Young. State Rights are successfully pleaded to prevent the Government from regulating lynching, whipping posts, and convict slavery in the several States. And yet, the Government is appropriating several million dollars trying to regulate the manufacture and sale of liquor in the several States. Rawther queer, ch? And since Harvard has reversed President Lowell, we presume he will resign as soon as his doctor can discover that he needs an "extended rest." Daylight saving may economize on light, but it means a waste of darkness. WHAT THEY SAID LAST WEEK The Atlanta Independent, after playing hooks for three weeks made its appearance upon our desk. It brought a real he-male message from B. J. Davis. This fellow lives in Georgia and edits his paper in the same town wherein he resides, and he has lived and grown fat by telling the truth. On the duty of the "white South," how much stronger need a man be than these words? The Atlanta South would adopt a program of conciliation, peace and harmony in co-operation and co-ordination among black people with a view of satisfying him and making him believe and see that he is a part of the progress of the citizenry; put him in business; give him employment and hand him the same kind of treatment that it hands the German, the Irishman, Frenchman, Pole, Swede, Italian, Greek and whatnot, we would have a glorious country, and in fifty years the wealth and character of the south would he increased 100 per cent. The Kansas City Sun appropriated our editorial of a few weeks ago, entitled, "A Hard Customer." The Kansas editor did not give us credit for the editorial, but simply took it, without even a courtesy line. We still say: the brother is a "hard customer." The Dallas Express has rendered a service by distributing editorial comment by The Enquirer-Sun, Columbus, Ga. We found the following in the Express: These suggestions and requests are reasonable, should be looked into, and if the Negroes are receiving unjust treatment in any of the instances, some measures should be put in operation to help them. The decent Negroes are not looking for anything liberal equality. They know that will never be, and they do not expect it or and they never desire just treatment before the law and in other ways, and grudge them that. They are entitled to it and it will make them better citizens. The more good citizens a community has the better the community becomes. We must not overlook the fact that we cannot mistreat the Negro without at the same time do an injustice to ourselves, while on the other hand, when we help him we are helping ourselves as well. This is only the selfishness of the Negroes without taking into consideration any intrinsic motive. Either is sufficient to cause us to give the Negro proper consideration. The Detroit Independent says the Pittsburgh Courier, along with another journal, has endorsed Robert S. Abbott as a candidate for the Spingarm medal. The Pittsburgh Courier has NOT done anything of the kind. Detroit Independent will please correct its statement. We are for a "dark horse" in that race. The Chicago Whip, in characteristic style, gives us the difference between men who are improved by attendance upon colleges and universities and those who are fools of the d-est of all fools. We are for a "dark horse" is by far the d-est of all fools. But the Whin deserves them perfectly: We have produced some big fools whose lone contribution to society is the parchment paper called a diploma which they point to with "peacock pride" and avow is a racial distinction, this they dedicate to their classmates. We have taken from big universities who leech like the blood from the white men with whom they have been in contact while in the big university. We have men from Harvard and Yale, etc., who seek alms from their classmates in the big universities and abuse, prostitute and exploit their friendliness. Other big fools from big universities are those who have assumed a supercilious attitude, who have thrown their heads into the air, who can't be reached with "a ten-foot pole". These men have an exaggerated sense of their own importance and no ambition. They are not used for useful careers and are dead weights upon society. This is the fool who went to college, but did not learn how to think. After reading these descriptions, we are dead sure we have seen some of these very fellows. all boys of the fundamentals; a common worship of the proper traditions, customs and proven usages of the nation; a mutual respect for citizenship, and a common devotion to law and orderly government are some of the better things which might be brought to the attention of the boys during the proposed week. While we are yet boys, let us learn some of the higher duties which will be exacted of us all alike, when we become men: Those Nice Turks For quite some time, citizens of the United States have been reading reports of the "terrible Turk," and other uncomplimentary accounts of the inhuman conduct of the most hated people in Europe. There has been a very noticeable change in the tone of comment appearing in the American press during the very recent weeks. And there is a reason, say those who enjoy a confidential proximity to the real facts. It has just escaped by way of gossip that the United States has a new interest in the land of the terrible Turk; and it is the history of this country that money "makes a difference." Since it became known that Rear Admiral Chester secured certain Oil Concessions from the Angora Assembly, American attitude toward the Turk has encountered a very sudden and decided change. Along with concessions for oil came the right and license to construct a railroad of about 2500 miles. This action on the part of the Angora Assembly practically placed the American Rear Admiral in charge of what is called "new" Turkey. But the rights of the American brought new difficulties. It has developed that France will not stand aside and allow the American to take over Turkey. It has been discovered that Britain is peeved, and will not yield to the demands of the American. There are some difficulties to be ironed out, if the three great powers of the world are to agree on all Turkish questions. It is amusing how readily this country can change its face on a question when financial reasons arise. The concessions given the Rear Admiral put the Turks in a different light in the eyes of Americans, and now the "terrible" Turks are simply the nicest kind of people, after all. $50,000 For An Idea The Tasl... He The Financial Board of the A. M. E. Ch Commencement Season Labor Sh HE, North Carolina, Mutual Insurance. Company has stated insurance in force. Several other of our large companies have their volume of business in numbers of eight figures. Their terribly impressive records and coerced affairs according to the approved cannons of business, preceded day of Negro big business is at hand. Indeed the volume of transacted by race concerns would be respectable even when by the standards of the whole world. We do not have to turn generations to rea! the time when an enterprise contemplating millions of dollars was considered of the first magnitude. These generations and their terms of billions have made their most rapid advance fifty years. Negro enterprises on a broad national scale take from the True Reformers of Richmond, Va., originated by Bent Brown. This was, if my memory serves me right, in 1851. At a Negro Stenographer was a curiosity, and a colored typist would make him read, Mr. Brown built up a staff of colored bookkeeper accountants. This ill-starred organization failed lamentably until it had inspired numerous like enterprises which are thus good promise today. Luckily for the good name of the founder withdrawn from the movement, through disagreement with his readers well as on account of failing health. The organization had 800 members, and was doubtless the award ever made to a Negro for an idea. When he had removed a little further from the disagreeable incidents personal memories, the Negro business enterprises will make the monument to the Founder of the True Reformers. The Financial Board of the A.M.E.Church LORD comes that President Harding has overruled the resicion to man the Tuskegee Hospital with a white man assured that, the entire management, from top to bottom, supplied from the race to be served. The one conspicuous army Booker Washington taught the white man as well as the Negro the Negro himself was able, out of his own intellectual resources, to teach the white man. was a visitor at great state colleges and observed that all blacks as the staff of skilled and manual laborers. But the one of the machinery was a white man. In inquiry into this soon informed that the regents were not willing to entrust such machinery to the race. I went from this school immediate Tuskegee, and saw immensely greater engineering operated by man race. Mr. Washington informed me that he could always help to do the work which his school needed. This indeed was a skill of his philosophy, to make the Negro sufficient for his own needs would be a strange reversal of Dr. Washington's principles to great hospital placed at Tuskegee as a compliment to his white doctors instead of a doctor. (WV) And the great educator think could he return and do upon such a spectacle? The medical fraternity can easily demand. We have in the race several men with the talent, learning perience to serve as surgeon-in-chief. All other places can be filled. The race stands solidly, behind the demand that the top of the race should not be snatched from them by white men, because the top of the race is the winner. This victory is due to the energetic interposition of Hon. Lincoln and Hon. Perry Howard. If this be true, all honor to them. are demanding that the bars be let down to secure them to man their mills and factories to meet the demands of the market. In the past, they have often depended wages to be jeopardized by fresh inflow from abroad at all likely that Congress will liberalize the existing law, view of the rising tide of progressives who are swearing vengeful slaughter against the conservative regime. There are ten million workers in the labor market. Every shortage in the labor market, inuries to his advantage, European white immigrant shut out from our shores makes some Negro workman. There is a renewed stream of minors North to take advantage of the higher wage inducement in the labor market. South to bring blue blood to the labor.

THERE was held in Philadelphia last week an all-city call the various phases of charitable and social work. Auring the widest range of topics was presented by several fields on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The session on Saturday afternoon gives over the topic of relations, "The Woman's Nation Wide Anti-Lynching Crusade Mary B.

As this section of the program has not been written, it can only prove that cussion ought to be interesting and valuable. The subject is race-wide in their significance. They are by no means located to the city of Philadelphia. Every Negro, everywhere, will be learn that these questions will be discussed by colored and women before an audience composed mainly of white Negro's cause must be presented in its proper, light before the commencement Season. IRE Commencement season is approaching. The vote on commencement orator will shortly resound through the wisdom of the ancients will be revitalized with the presence of eternal youth.
