Alam, Ala., June 14—Mrs. Marra, married another man of Teemson, her husband, and hero of Teemson's hero, was While the woman was treated with the Hospital for sore- wounds Tuesday night, women accused of her own throath before she left his own throath of the kitchen of his home that is expected to die. The following story, written by a prisoner in our Western Penitentiary, came to us through the United States Mails, registered. The letter, in its original form, is on file in our offices to be seen and inspected by any who may be interested in Prison Life, Prison Reform, Gruculty to Human Beings, or any kindred subject. The letter carries such a sweeping indictment, we are forced to publish it in the interest of society and humanity. If the letter tells the truth about the conditions described Governor Pinchot ought to start some kind of investigation at the prison. If the statements are not true, the writer is evidently insane, and ought to be cared for at the proper institutions. We should tell the judge the cause of homosexual justice attention to the conditions described, or the proper assistance to the man who wrote it.—The Editor. "I fought on the firing line in France for Democracy, facing the bullets of the Hun, and now, because I committed an act of indiscretion, for which I was sentenced to seven and one-half years in the Western Penitentiary, I am forced to undergo punishment far worse than death itself. "I have been beaten and tramped until I couldn't stand up, thrown in a damp and dusky dungeon, infested by rats and other vermin, and otherwise mistreated in such a manner that I have lost 30 pounds. I am writing this history, of my prison life in order to draw an investigation which I hope will better the living and working conditions of my fellow-prisoners and myself." So writes an inmate of the Western Penitentiary, and the story comes as a mocking aftermath and almost concurrent with reports of the dreaded "lash" system in Florida and Alabama. The story, a true-to-life version of life behind the grim, gray, cold, tomb-like walls of "Justice's Playground," rivals the famous Congo, Kishineff and Siberian horrors, and discloses, if correct, the greatest disgrace and mockery this country has ever known. In his article, the prisoner, whom we will designate as (X), tells of the cause of the famous prison riot of 1921, tells of the horrors—the food—the inhuman brutality of the guards and the warden: The following is the story in detail as related by (X): To the Editor, Pittsburgh Courier: I want the people to know, just what a prisoner's life is behind the dim, gray walls of the Western Penitentiary, as am appalling to service the prisoner who reads this story to aid me in getting my case before the pardon board. The government army doctor was here recently and examined all-service men in the institution. He pronounced me a victim of tuberculosis. He entered this place April 121, 1921 and sound man, weighing 180 pounds. Now I am 39 pounds under weight. My present physical condition is due to savage and inhuman treatment. In July, 1921, there was a riot here in the prison. The riot was the only means the prisoners had to let the public know that they were being ill-treated and undered, and at that with food unattable. There was no investigation made of the riot, as the prison authorities would have to investigate those cases. We was over and all the prisoners safely locked in their cells, the state police were called, in to help intimidate the prisoners by beating them up. Beaten for Nothing A prisoner did not have to do anything to get beat up. Of times the inmates might speak to a fellow-prisoner, might give the guard a "deye-or" or might not be walking to suit a guard. The first time I was punished, came as a result of my not walking fast enough to suit one of the guards. I was taken in to the deputy wardens office and the so-called charge was read to me, signal the deputy wardens to me, signal the guards jumped me. They beat me and trumped me until I couldn't stand up. Then they dragged me down to the dungeon (Continued on Page 12, Col. 3) Pres. Blair Calls Hand OfRadicals Surface Lines in Chicago May Soon Be Manned By Colored Men. By Edgar G. Brown (Staff Correspondent.) Chicago, June 14.—In an open letter to the mayor of Chicago, Hon. Henry A. Blair, president of the Chicago Surface Lines, gives an unanswerable explanation of the past and present services of the surface lines to the 800,000,000 people who yearly ride in the most modern vehicles on the city's transportation system in the United States and possibly the world. The 15,000 employees of the surface lines are the highest paid and the best treated street car workers of any city in the country, averaging 15 cents more per hour than men in similar positions, the shop floor and the warehouse have to be satisfied with practically no interest on the more than $161,000,000 worth of securities which have made this gigantic enterprise possible. Now the employees, headd by a group of "hot-headed" radicals, cry "Strike! Strike!" for morg wages than the traffic can bear or up public will tolerate. The company will be sensible membership by "slugging tactics," declaring they will have more and still more money or everybody can walk and the city's economic life can be hanged. Contrast with what President Blair, who says, "Our company stands ready to serve (Continued on Page 8, Col. 1)." Action of National Body Expenses to Fellow cusation of Race Delegate. Wheeling, W. Va. June 14.—Colored men in trade unions throughout the country will be recognized in the future, according to an announcement made by the Ohio Valley trades and Labor Assembly at their second-month meeting here last week. The statement followed an accusation by Abraham Evans, colored mine delegate from Warwood, in which he asserted that his race was being ignored by the labor men before the assembly, as well as throughout the country. Evans declared that the Negro should stand upon the same footing of organized union labor, if he is loyal to the organization. To Force Recognition. Evans was assured by officials of the assembly that color should be no bad organized labor. He also discussed announcement was made that a concerted effort to enforce recognition of colored miners in this district would be immediately launched, and that the complaint of the delegation would be carried to the national body. It was reported that some labor organizations in certain sections of the country have recently taken a decided stand on barring Negro labor from the ranks of organized labor. Some of those who claim that the colored man cannot get a "look in", these high-harassed methods have not been abandoned. There are hundreds of colored men involved in the total assail by the majority of them using miners, and there are thousands of colored men throughout the country connected with the different trades unions. The action of the Ohio Valley Trades and Labor Assembly, it is believed, marks an opening in the war to waged against discriminatory practices in the unions. Armond W.

Policeman Held For Manslaughter By Coroner's Jury White Officer, Who Told Story "Voluntarily," Unable to Offset Testimony of Eye-witnesses. "I cannot tell a lie. I saw Officer Fullerton shoot Richardson," dramatically declared George Wentz before the coroner in the inquest held Friday morning into the fatal shooting of Joseph Richardson, near Westcott, seventh and Butler streets, May 21. More than a dozen witnesses, seven of them white, practically substantiated Wentz's testimony. The coroner's jury held Fullerton for man-slaughter. Officer Testified Although Attorney, Robert, L. Vann, who with Attorney P. J. C. Randall, represented the family of the victims, objected to permitting Fullerton to testify, the coroner ruled that he could do so since he had volunteered." Fullerton said in part: "I was standing on the corner of Thirty-eighth street talking to Ramsey, when someone called my attention to a fight. After they called my attention to the fight, I went down to the street and man standing on the sidewalk rubbing his forehead. I ran into the little alley there and met Walters and Richardson. I asked him, what was the trouble. "You don't want me," he said, I put my hands on him and he acted funny and I thought something was wrong. I began to search him, looked here and here (indicating he was in the street) a man would carry a gun. I called that fellow there to assist me and he held him while I searched him. I found the gun down here (indicating the front of his trousers). I (Continued on Page 8, Col. 2) Thousands Watch As Elks March In Mammoth Parade Armond W. Scott, Past G. E.

Parker, gray, reckless, caerfree and a small-town "shiek", was a lover of good times. He was said to fairly sparkle when surrounded by a bevy pretty girl, and was forbidden for his humour and insatiable wit. Among his fellow friends, he was called a "hall-fellow-well-met". It is alleged that he was not nausee to staking his "roll" on games of chance. His game was never known to drink to access.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., June 14—(By A. N. P.)—"The world no longer looks upon us as babies, but full grown men and women," declared Mrs. Carrie A Tuggle, of Birmingham, in addressing the 46th annual meeting of the Bingham Sons and Daughters of Protection, as the opening, "and we must measure up to the standard or stand aside. "There was a 'a time that 'we got sympathy because our parents were slaves, but that time has passed, for our parents are now our father and father and what could they do, the question is 'Who are you and what can you do?' Since this is the case, it behoves us to see to it that our boys are an asset to us, but without our ignorance, illiteracy and sin. It is indeed a crime to permit a boy or girl to grow up without at least a common school education, and the 'time is near when it will be even a greater sin to grow up without a high school education. "Where is Abel thy brother? is the question put to us every day and unless you are able to answer you are a guilty Cain if he is some where wallowing in ignorance, illiteracy and sin. "The Rising Sons and Daughters of Protection joins hands with the Calante, with the Knights of Pythias, and the Knights of Athenry, and the most irascible Tuggle Institute is placing an opportunity at the door of every buy and girl of Alabama. Many come who are not able to pay a cent. Two children here know no other. By the help of God, and you, they shall be educated and put in position to make it in this world. They had a grandmother and she died, but before her death she asked, not to take care of themselves. They are twins. Shall they, he protected?" "Yes, yes," came the reply from many throats, and women and men wept like children as Mrs. Tuggle, whose heart is as big as the world, told the story, not only of the two girls, but others who were there. "Let us as a ruse," she said, "line to, some sinking son or daughter. Let us do our duty, and leave the rest with God. He will take care of you." The Sons and Daughters of Protection is a fraternal organization whose origin came from the fertile brain of Mrs. C. A. Tuggle, one of the most remarkable women of age and who is revered as leader of men. She is at the official head of three strong organizations and declares that they should do more than look after the sick and burry the dead, but look after the shaping of the lives of the future men and women. The outcome of which is the Tuggle Institute, attached this year to over five hundred boys and girls, were also made by Mrs. Coving, of Montgomery; Herbert H. Glover, of Birmingham; Charles Stewart, of Chicago; and others. Resolutions were adopted condemning crime, criminality, lynching, mob violence, sniffiness, ignorance, illiteracy, and every other evil which would mar happiness and wreck manhood. The organization on record as author and order is the meeting was the reminder of a love feast or an old-time revival; for during the session there were several converted.

This momentous question asked by the dean of poets, Job, who in the anguish of his soul was at a quandary, as to the hereafter. At this moment, the same question is asked by peoples, of earth plane, yes, Pleading "Whither Way?" The Spiritualists of the world to-day are to the fore by teaching, and demonstrating, that we not only live again, that life is one continuous whole, unbroken; that there is no death, and the immediate resurrection of the soul. (I pause here to use the definition of Spiritualism as given by "National" Spiritualists Association of America, as follows: "Spiritualism is the science, philosophy, and religion of continuous life based on demonstration." Though of all religions it is the most maligned, scooff, and jeered, yet we are consoled and comforted when we attune our thougths to that beautiful stanza, thus: "Through many dangerous toils and snares we have already come; His Grace has brought as safe thus far, His Grace will lead us home." Spiritualism pure and simple, the foundation of the whole, gives that solace, that piece of mind to the soul that none other system "Yean," thought abundant of love, which emanates from love of all true love "God," who is spirit. And with this message; of consolation, comfort, and cheer, we are confident, as to results. We conclude by stating the principle: we ask; thus, "ye shall know the truth and the truth: lull make you free." In the next issue we will say more on this "subject."

M. S. A. Headquarters at New York, that Dr. J. E. Moorland, the Senior Secretary of Colored Men's Department on the International Committee, will retire this year. This announcement is according to the proclamation of the Y. M. C. A. Retirement Fund, and it is said that Dr. Moorland will be the first, colored secretary to have reached this point, as he will attain to the age of sixty-five as provided In the Retirement Fund regulations. Dr. Moorland is one of the few pioneers now living, in projecting the work of the Y. M. C. A. among the colored men and boys. He was associated with the late W. O. Hunton, one of the outstanding figures in the early days of movement. Dr. Moorland's activities in a large measure that resulted in Mr. Julius Rosanwald's generosity in offering £25,000 for every city in the United States that would raise $75,006 to erect a colored men's bronze within a given time. Fourteen titles took advantage of the opportunity. Dr. W. M. C. A. Organizations attest the wisdom and the far-sightedness exercised by Dr. Moorland in pressing this program. The work of the Y. M. C. A. among the colored people of the United States has been developed by leaps and bounds until, according to figures issued in the last Year Book, the total membership in the City Y. M. C. A. the State Y. M. C. A. the Y. M. C. A. and the Railroad Department of the Y. M. C. A. aggregates 26 640.

Iron City, as usual, looked good in her regulation white and purple. But say, boys, how about our daughter Elks? No lodge turns out a more�ifty uniform set of ladies, and they march some, if you will let them. I am afraid that the boys are getting jealous, as they can do some drills. Along the line of march to the church, when the Twin City Juvenile Elks came along, it surprised even the oldest inhabitants to know who had such a fine looking set of children—all Elks too—with George E. Neal, Jr., the Premier. Hats off! We would be remiss if we failed to mention J. P. Hitchins, who was madehal of the day and who was, to a large degree, responsible for the success of the parade. We are conscious of the fact that without a good leader such a mammoth undertaking would be a failure. The banquet was held at Iron City Lodge No. 17. In honor of Brother Armond J. Scott and visiting brothers, and was served by Iron City's expert, Caterer; Thomas Boston. Even the available space was taken by the brothers.

When our Grand Exalted Ruler of the world something was lacking for the well being of him, he caused him to fall and created a woman, so it has been for generations that no nation has so formed that no woman is a woman. When nations and societies are in serious trouble and the way agams dark and the only solution for them is to have its women that are connected with them. So it is that way today with our only salvation is our noble women. The first temple of Daughters of August in the year 1901. The male branch of the order was buffeted on the ground by the storm, and our race, but by the wise counsel and motherly advice of our beloved weathered the storm, met all oblities in its path and crushed them the best of all Negro society societies.

They must have a father or brother or husband that is a member of the order. The Call Issued by Col. S. M. Thomas of the First-Reg. U. R. K. of P., was productive of much good. On Monday evening, June 4th Col. Sanford M. Thomas called for a rally of The Members of the First Reg. U. R. K. of P. A good number responded to the call. After issuing commissions to the officers of the several regiments then stated the call of the meeting. He said that this call was for the unifying of members of the regiment to come in closer contact with such members of the rank and make the regiment self-sustaining which, in turn, will help none in the Country. This fact that this regiment which was once the pride of this state seemed to lack in Morale or Cohesiveness from some reason or other, and that his aim was to help build it to its greatest, highest with the building of a regimental fund to be used for the sole benefit of all that were members of this regiment, and asked for the hearty co-operation of all Sir Knights, which was heartily responded to by all that was present. After his explanation stated he asked one to do any more than what he would do. He stated also that the way to do a thing was to start right himself and not depend on others to take the invitation, so he started the first voluntary sub-committee with five dollars followed by others with cash subscriptions as well as others who pledged themselves for various amounts to be paid at the Regimental meeting to be held at Continental Hall on the third Thursday of the First Regiment, rally to the Colonel's call—he is doing something then was suggested by a dozen or more of the officers when we were Opening Friday evening, June 15, 1923, 2521 Wylie avenue, 8 P.

Much has been said about the master skill of seriousness on the part of our young folk in Pittsburgh. The fact has been deplored; regret is felt that the character is proven by the amount of real interest, sincere courage and encouragement manifested on June 21st. The Imperial Art Players, with Youzella N. Jones, as directress, form a permanent organization which is to continue doing big and worthwhile things. The play, "A Mid-Summer Night's Dream," in which they make their initial bow, is perhaps one of the difficult of all Shakespeare plays to stage because of the absolute necessity of spectacular setting, the three different plays together people, who will lift the characters of so fantastic a dream; the three different plays which must be definitely handled to be intelligible; the difficult metre of the lines and the expense and scenery. For these reasons this play is not so often used on the professional stage. Recently, however, it created occasion when staged by the leading movie stars at their annual benefit in Californin. The setting of the play in Athens, Greece. - One of the three plays revolves around two pairs of lover, Mary Beckett as Heram, Nemanham as Lysander, Helen Dandridge as Helena and Benjamin Ellison as Demetrius. Another pair of lover, Mary Beckett as Oberon, Nilliam both as the mischievous Puck and little-Hilda McCoy, daughter of Prof. L. M. McCoy; Dean of Morgan College, Baltimore, as the fairy child.

Five-Game Series Will Have Decided Bearing On League Leadership Foster's Club, Now Menacing Leaders, Prepared to Battle Crippled Indianapolis Club—All Other Clubs in Regular League Games. CHICAGO, Ill., June 14—The Indianapolis A. B. C.'s, piloted by Dismukes and owned by M.C. I. Taylor, widow of the late C. I. Taylor, Indianapolis baseball manager, will drive town Friday for a series of five games with the American Giants, which starts the following day that will have a direct bearing on the leadership of the Negro National league. If the visitors carry off the series, they will hold a lead that will be hard to combat, as they battle Foster in return series, and it will be a hard proposition for him to win in the Hoosier cantal. The Indianapolis club comes direct from Detroit, where they have engaged in a series with Blount's Stars. Dismukes has been handicapped in the recent series at St. Louis. He is one of the star catchers, named Brown, who is out of the game owing to an injury. Dixon, last year's second-string catcher with the American Giants, is doing the bulk of the receiving. Dismukes also lost Clark, who is out of the game from Morehouse College in Atlanta. Clark, who is under age, was ordered home by his sister. Nevertheless with Charleston on first, the Hoosier club is pulling together like a one-team, all-playing thing—the hopes of the winning of the pennant. The Giants are primed for the series. Retrieving from their two defeats at the hands of the Cubans, they have come back strong in the second game, when they came from behind in the ninth inning, and taking the second when Wolfolf, a recruit from Kentucky, showed midseason form by holding the Mound City sluggers to three hits. While the Giants beat the Giants and lost Kansas City and Toledo hard on open games, the Milwaukee club goes to Detroit, where they engage Bloomin's Stats and the Cubans move over to St. Louis, for five games.

Tate Stars Trim Harrisburg In TwoHard Games Branahan Proves Hero of First Contest, While Harrisburg Errors Give Home Club Second Tilt. BY WILBUR COOPER CLEVELAND, O. June 14. — The Famous Harrisburg, Giants met defender Danny Stern, the Tate Stars here last Sunday by the local in twelve innings at Tate Field before a small crowd. Manager Clark Johnson called on Branahan to call for the local while Pettus sent Henry, the slow ball, to oppose the hard-biting ball, but Branney proved the best, for he only allowed the visitation hits in the entire twelve stanza. Just as darkness was approaching, we approached the lengthy contour of the field, where was hurting such wonderful ball, sent only, and winning marker for the second base. Manager Tettus, of the first base, figured he could make the putter first-sucker misjudged the distance when the back and the lanky Tate twisted the back and the lanky Tate all of this was taking place Hammond came trotting home with the winning putter. Henry, the settling hurler, had the Stars eating out of his hands with his uncanny delivery, which consisted of a series of backs and the Tate nine sane safes, but his buddies managed to back him up and the putter was in the middle platter in the early sessions. As for the Giants, we must admit they are illibable "Hooks" Johnson shared honors with Brannahan in the Tate vicinity. Next Sunday Ben Taylor's Washington Potomac will meet the Stars in the rubber contest to determine the previous series, which ended two all. GIANTS ABR. R. H. O. A.

They're Responsible For Ais Sensational Showing ABC NEWSOH COIRBEL COOPER MIXED BOUTS ARE NOT SERIOUS MENACE TO THE BOXING GAME No Race Riots Ever Due to Ring Contests — Gans and Wolcott Had Numerous BattlesWith White Men Without Ensuing Disorder—Dixon Fought in South By Charles F. Mathison in the New York Herald With the talk relative to a Wills-Dempsey fight renewed, and with New York or New Jersey as the two logical spots for staging such a match, the mixed bout bugaboo will doubleb, entirely disappear from the Empire State. During the regime of the Horton and Frawley law boxing contests between colored fighters and whites was the Frawley law period that the pid rule against decisions on points at the end of scheduled bouts was put into effect. It is true that many erroneous decisions 'are given by judges' at the present time, but in the main the rulings are fair. The advantage of decisions on points is that they tend to encourage the boxing team to win, particularly true of championship matches, which in this State can be decided on decisions by the judges. At the time mixed bouts were allowed by the Frawley law, the argument was advanced that ring contests between the two races might tend to stir up racial feeling, and impairment of those who insisted that mixed bouts were fought with great danger to the sport of boxing, less disorder attended the mixed contests than was the case in bouts between white boxers. Benny Leonard, shortly after he became champion, joined the colored lightweight in the country, stopped him in the first round. The bout took place September 21, 1917, and while there was in attendance a large crowd of colored and white, no disorder followed the knockout. On the other hand, when Leonard met Frankie Conifrey, the *Pride of the Ring* department, and knocked him out in the final session, 1916, Conifrey's friends started a riot that wrecked the Star A. C. Lenox avenue and 110th street. Dixon Fought in New Orleans A. As a matter of fact, there never has mattered to Dixon in matches, between the races, George Dixon went to New Orleans in 1892 and knocked out Jack Skelly in eight rounds. There was no disturbance and Dixon lived to return North and many more bouts from white boxer losing at last to Terry McGovern. Dixon lost another notable bout in the Lennox A. C., the victor being Ben-Jordan, English featherweight champion. The Briton, who had come here especially to get a bout the worst title, dribed Little Chuck in the most round contest, after which Jordan discovered that Dixon did not hold the American title. Dixon had lost the honors to Solly Smith in a bout the Coach, and while Smith insists match with Jordan, the California were elbowed out of the affair. Dixon was one of the first boxers to lose title and then regain it. Smith, after his rebuff in the matter of a contest with Jordan, made a match with Dave Sullivan, and lost his championship. Smith suffered a broken arm early in the battle and was compelled to withdraw. Dixon then got a match with Sullivan and stopped him in eleven rounds. Dixon held the title till he was knocked out by McGoverson in eight rounds, the mixed bouts were conducted without disorder, and they furnished thrilling entertainment for the ticket buyers. Joe Gans and Joe Walcott also boxed numerous contests with white opponents during the Horton law, which was won with the George ("Elbows") McFadden in the Broadway A. C. in 1899. This was previous to the time that Gans won the title. McFadden was not nicknamed "Elbows" because of foul use of his elbows, but because of his blocking skill. No one else in the game elbows, it was almost certain that his fists would collide with one of McFadden's elbows. McFadden was in prime condition the night of the bout with Gans and he gradually wore out in the twenty-third round. This caused a sensation at the time, for Gans was regarded as invincible. Gans Won With One Punch Gans proved his skill on the field by 12, 1902, with one knockout. Ont, and knocked out lightweight champion Frank Erne with the first punch he let fly in the first round. He knocked out hands as a record in quick knockouts in lightweight championship bouts. McAdadeh was unfortunate in one respect, and that was in '11 scoring knockout over Gans before the late George Lavigne and over George Lavigne after the Signaw Kid had lost the title. Joe Walcott was also a prolific performer in the ring with white boxers. Although the Black Demon was but a 140 pounder he made a spectacle of knocking out middle-aged Dan Creedon in 6 rounds, and knocked out Joe Choynski in 7 rounds. Bolt of these affairs took place in this city and were not followed up. He studied disinclination of other white heavyweights to meet Walcott in the ring he would have scored more victories. He is alleged to have stopped Tom Sharkey in training quarters. He tempted to whip Kid Lalvigne at 183 pounds ringside, a weakening weight for the colored fighter. At his normal weight of 140 pounds Walcott would have made short work of Lavigne. Pugilistic history is replete, with the first fight of his career and if any serious trouble has followed a bout with a white man the incident has escaped attention. The one blot on the sport charged to the race was put there by Jack Johnson. It does not follow because of Johnson's actions, any more than that baseball should be prohibited because of the world's series scandal of 1919. Boxers black or white are engaged in quite as legitimate a form of sport as the athletes in any other rough vigorous pastime. Raleigh Clippers Defeat Scarbro, 3-2 Raleigh, W.

FEO. M. BELL I will do well to observe that only R. GEEO, M. BELL YORK, N. Y., June 14—The discusses of both the New York and Amsterdam) News contain its opposing view. The National Mattings Committee, once that are no signatures attest, will not touch for its authority. Whether authentic or grounds are in the report, and adverse criticism by sport and other players, the three players dur- fice four years. the mish has been the pleasure of unstabbed account of ill matter in New York, Washing- ington. Sin during these felt that I possess the eve- nior reason to proceed in a very systematic manner to my objections to some wings of the committee, as in the above named pa- will begin by taking into account the ratings of the men and the score sheets from his committee quotes, to justify decisions, as the n means of the militia must be conscripted. I can conclude that it is possible. No one on the face of last season's single lay claim to one position than E. G. Brown, of Inman, to whom this position definitely given, will be defeated in which case, and defeating both Talby and Sylvester, of Washington, Williams, of Chicago, who have ratings 2, 3 and 4 respectively. These positions are unquestionable.

Entrance at Budd's 2nd Floor. I will do well to observe that only Nos. 1 and 2 had the record of their score sheet published. We should like to know what method was used in arriving at a decision for the placing of the other eight players. I would like to show the committee either to show how the committee either to otherwise supervised players others with absolutely nothing to base their findings on. Omit one and two, Miss Channels and Mrs. Wash as rightfully placed. Let us number three, Miss Alma Crawford, and number four, Miss Alma Crawford, number three. New look as her last year's record. The most that can be said for Miss Crawford is that she is a semi-finalist having defeated Madison in the National Tournament. But Mrs. Madison was run up in the New York State Tournament, and should rate higher than semi-finalist, but suppose by stretching a point we succeeded the higher position to Miss Crawford, because of her victory over Mrs. Madison, by then the same method of reasoning, Mrs. Conick be rated ahead of Miss Crawford, and she sheets show that Mrs. Conick was ahead of the National Tournament, a semi-finalist in the New York State Tournament and runner up in the Harlem tournament, and besides all this has defeated Miss Crawford on every occasion. What did the committee do with these records when they decided to rate Mrs. Conick number eight? By what process of reason did the committee arrive at the conclusion to put Mrs. Burwell or Miss Glass ahead of Mrs. Conick? Maybe the center can us. It is evident on the table for the foregoing that if the same method used in case of the men was adopted in rating the ladies and Miss Crawford was allowed precedence over the men, yary-over the latter, the final position would go without contact to Mrs. Conick, with Miss Crawford and Mrs. Madison fourth and fifth respectively. This leaves the other anyone could be placed in the next position without any trouble. In conclusion I want to ask why the committee rated Mrs. Wade with Sylvester Smith as a mixed doubles team, although admitting that the mixed doubles team did not play regularly enough together to be ratified, doubles team was not a team of Frank Jones and Mrs. Couick, who by consistently playing together for the past few years, was able, in Philadelphia last year, against the team of Williams and Channels, to give us the finest mixed. And I left out the splendid our people.

Big 4th Inning For Darbyites Results In Win Hilldale Finally Breaks Crane Nine's Jinx Steven Stars at Short for Home Club - Pitcher Hampton Bought. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., June 14—One big inning gave Hildale sweet revenge on the Crane Ice Ice Team team here Saturday. Nine runs in the fourth completely routed the jinx which "Wide" Conroy's boys had hitherto kept over the Darby stuggers. In two previous encounters, the Hildale, had been left holding the bag. Manager Lloyd, with one foot in the grave and a boil on his neck, decided to take a rest and elected Kid Stevens in his place. The Kid did it all right, with neatness and dispatch, both afield and at bat. He did was to stam one of the pitches and handle seven chances with nary a slip-up. In the seventh he retried the side on three hard fires, one of which took him from deep short to the pitches box and one to the foul territory in left. "Script" Lee did the honors and triled a master's game. Only once did he, and then there was no danger. His slow ball, started from his shoe laces, a la "Dizzy" Dismucers, reminded a suzale throughout the game. "Rube Chambers got along wonderfully, allowing, but one hit till the fateful fourth, then with Briggs gone, Walker to Cotter, Frank Warfield singled over second. Steve around singled to the right field stands, Warfield being held on third by the ground rule. Thomas, walked and Mackeys double, a lusty blow to center, sent Warfield and Stevens over. Carr went down on four wide ones and Judy Johnson scored Thomas with a sharp single. Chambers sent Bier "Bir" Mackey. On an attempted double squeeze Carr scored. Lee Lee was safe at first but Judy Johnson was caught at the plate on hair-line decision. Briggs singled and Allen's lengthy thyet brought him in from second. Warfield scored Lee with his second hit of the frame; Mr. Chambers, the second hit of the frame; Mr. Art Summers and Mr. Widow Conroy, sought the comparative safety of right field. Piez going to the bench and Leslie assuming the white man's burden. Stevens second two baggers went. Stevens second two baggers went. Warfield carried over another tally. Thomas famed. With two gone in the sixth Spheron's easy飞 was dropped by Carr, subbing for our George in left, a two-base line of the line's line line holding the catcher on third. Cotter strolled. Leslie doubled to extreme left leaving the bases as empty as a married man's purse the morning after payday. Jim's single accounted for another run. McGeechan diled out to Thomas. Two runs were made out of a double and three singles in the eight. Stave ended the agony by taking Walker's line hit. It knocked him into the dandelions but the old boy touched theMgr groove. Before the match Mr. Llyod confirmed the report that pitcher Ping Gardner had jumped the team to pitch for Chappie Johnson. He also announced the purse of Hampton, a twirl, to the Bachman. The next pitch was a victim of Newrits, in uniform for the first time in over two weeks. It is not thought that John Henry's boil will keep him out of the line-up for over a day or two scores.

"Chappie" Johnson, who held a membership in the association, disbanded his team and resigned. He lost 19 straight games with his outfit. Immediately, after his resignation he began to sign up another team. ```markdown ``` With Impure Blood Not Visible, Yet Liable to Break Out Any Day. Be Warned in Time.

Three shots Fired. A short time after Brown had left the house, Junior Hurd, living in the rear of the dwelling heard three shots fired, one bullet going through a window. He said he rushed to the front of the house and found Mrs. Owens partly clothed on the second floor. According to the man she appeared dazed and uncaptain. "My God Norah whats happened," he is alleged to have declared. "I shot Diamond, oh, what shall I do," the woman manned in reply. Then, according to Hurd's statement, both entered the room, where saw Parker lying on the floor with a bullet wound in his mouth and neck. The man was apparently dead at that time. Hurd then started for the first floor to get assistance and to notify the man when two more pistol shots rung out. Returning he said he found Mrs. Owens lying on the floor with a bullet wound in her bare breast. Another bullet had lodged in the calling of the room. The man then notified the police and county detectives. **Argued, Over "Other Girls"** It is thought that the tragedy resulted from an argument over another girl when Parker went to Mrs. Owens' room in his regular early morning appointment and that Parker and Mrs. Owens had attended a dance the night before and that the man's very obvious attentions to other girls had aroused her jealousy. It is alleged that she warned him that he would have to "account to her" and that as she saw it, the only way out would be an elopement. Barely fifteen minutes passed between the time Parker entered the room until both were lifeless corpses. Neighbors shocked by the tragedy hightened a love-scandal of long duration, which the husband had apparently ignored. They alleged that the couple were "very intimate" that they had been seen together numerous times, and that they oftimes visited the house of a friend nearby. Craved To Be Loved. John Parker, the husband, nearing the end of a span of years silted to him evinced little emotion when notified of the shooting. Burdened down by years of toil, the man apparently realized the fact that he could not fill the void in his wife's life, who it is alleged, often asserted that "she craved to be loved." Pretty and admired, the woman was the apples of his eye he admitted to, and at different times to "go out and enjoy yourself." He also is alleged to have told her that he realized that "youth must be served." M. LLOYD BOYD of Newburgh, N. Y., who could not walk and was laid up for five weeks. Cured of Rheumatism by "Neutrone Prescription 90." "For the benefit of everyone who is suffering from rheumatism, I want to send them a few prescriptions from 'Neutrone Prescription 99'. 'Last March, I was suddenly taken with severe pain in my hips and legs, and has to stop work and go home. I have a small annual size and the pain was awful. I was in bed for five weeks and could hardly move'. He amused to help me; doctors and medlems did no good. Some friends told my wife about 'Neutrone Prescription 99', and she got a bottle of painkiller that night. I took two doses before and then commenced to leave. It seemed too good to be true. Within four days the swellings and pain left me and became worse. I kept right on taking 'Neutrone Prescription 99' and in two weeks was back on the job feeling as good as she 'fellows me, I cannot say too much in praise of 'Neutrone Prescription 99', and I want all Rheumatics to know that the pain can be cured. My case is too serious, and all report the same results'. "Neutronus Prescription 99" can be depended upon to cure rheumatism; there is no need of anyone suffering from it. It is not necessary.

And so in her quest for harmless gapety this pretty social butterfly fell into the flames of Parker's all-consuming-love listened with favor for his amorous pleasures of infatuation and infatuation drove her to madness.

POLICEMAN HELD FOR ordered him to get up I had my gun out and was carrying Richardson's gun, too When I walked out of the alley I had my gun locked pretty close to his back. So when he got in the street he gave a jerk and the pressure of his body against the gun caused it to explode. "Did Richardson say anything to you? Attorney Vann asked. "The only thing he said was 'Let me go and I'll go with you.'" Fallout produced the gun which shot the man's head.

The intended victim took a very small amount, which relatives testify made him very ill for several days. Poison Plof Several weeks later-Hall gave his wife, sixty centers she says, and told her to, get the amount in "tasteful poison", and advised her upon inquiry to say that she wanted it to be poisoned. She said she chased the poison and invaded the victim to her home, but he was unable to come because the suit, which he intended to wear, was stolen from his room in Penn Avenue. On last-Friday night she met Hollinsgworth by appointment. Although she remained with him several hours with the gun in her possession, she left him at 38th street to return home. When she got to her apartment, she met Hollinsworth was standing there to meet her. She says they walked across the bridge, and in the rear of Apple Avenue, he attempted to take advantage of her. She declares her over an embankment across the railroad tracks, threatening to throw her over the hill to Washington Boulevard below if she refuses to submit to his demands. She consented and when he attempted to remove his coat, she shot him. Husband's Revolver The revolver belonged to Jerry Hall, it was said, and the girl secured it from him several days before. The Holllingsworth lad was to live until June 10th, or Hall said he would kill the girl, she testified. In an interview with a representative of the Pittsburgh Courier, Mrs. Mary White the girl's mother, of 3 Dick Street, said she only knew her mother and daughter. Mrs. White a comely, little woman, surprisingly youthful in her appearance, is mothering her daughter's three year old son. Daniel Winfield of 3350 Penn Avenue, uncle of young Hollingworth, declared he would do all in his power to see that the guilty persons are punished. It was Winfield who aided the detectives in locating the wife. He identified the body at the morning and later had it removed to the boy's parents home in Penn Avenue.

As you know, the Chicago Surface Lines for a number of years have been forced to fight for their existence. Harassed by unfriendly and unscrupulous interests much of their corporate energy necessarily has been expended in an attempt, thus far successful, to protect the rights of the public (they serve and of the investors whose millions have made the great system possible. During these trying years, in proceedings before judicial and regulatory bodies, the searchlight of a maliciously antagonistic foe has been turned upon the companies and their affairs. Every phase of their operations has been analyzed, and their exact financial condition has been determined. The character and amounts of their expenditures of every description have been subjected to the closest scrutiny, and the reasonableness and propriety of their transactions have not been successfully challenged. When certain of the fare rate cases rescheduled the Federal Court you, will remember that the one important expense the court questioned was the high hourly wage paid to the trainmen. At that time it was 80 cents, and admittedly was excessive as compared with wages in other cities. Upon the proof that except as to wages the companies had employed every reasonable economy in operation, the court issued an order the effect of which was to limit the fare to be charged to 7 cents, with three tickets for 20 cents. This reduced the possible yearly revenue of the companies by nearly $8,000,000, and, as the only extravagance of the companies lay in the matter of wages, the wage scale, following a six-day strike was fixed at 70 cents an hour. That was ten months ago. Tifis rate is still the highest in the country—119 percent above the prevailing scale in 1914. Cost-of-living figures show an increase over 1914 of 68 percent in Chicago. The rise in wages, therefore, has far distanced the advance in living costs. Not only is the scale the highest for this form of employment but the increase over the 1914 rate, when compared with the increase in other trades, shows a higher percentage that the so-called seasonal occupations. With reference to the wages paid to trainmen in other cities the following table indicates how far in the lead we are in Chicago In this connection it is interesting to note 1914 a trainman working 313 days a year for the present average rate of 69.94 cents, we trainman can earn $1751.30. If he choose average rate he could earn $1970.21. If he which is offered him to work every day hour basis, he can earn $2042.25, or $2297.365 days' work on a nine-hour basis paid Now, with a scale of wages far above the conditions so liberal that the men re half hours' actual work on their cars 78 cante per hour for actual working effect, the companies are confronted by a increase in wages, seven days' pay for si man cars—the additional cost represented approximately $9,000,000 a year. Any such increase in the companies' as it would leave less than 1 percent to $160,000,000 of outstanding obligations. This wholly unjustified demand upon Surface Lines are recovering from the destru In this connection it is interesting to note that with an average rate of 30.3 cents in 11 a trainman working 313 days a year nine hours a day could earn $853.5. With the present average rate of 69.9 cents, working only eight hours a day for 313 days, a trainman can earn $1751.30. If he chooses to pick a nine-hour run, at the present average rate he could earn $1970.21. If he desires to take advantage of the opportunity which is offered him to work every day at the present average rate, on an eight-hour basis, he can earn $2042.25, or $2297.53 on a nine-hour basis; whereas, in 1914, 365 days' work on a nine-hour basis paid him $995.36. Now, with a scale of wages far above that in leading American cities and working conditions so liberal that the men receive eight hours' pay for six and one-half hours' actual work on their cars serving the public (which means over 78 cents per hour for actual working time); with a reduced rate of fare still in effect, the companies are confronted by an arbitrary demand for a ten-cent-an-hour increase in wages, seven days' pay for six days' work, and the abandonment of one-man cars—the additional cost represented by these combined demands aggregating approximately $9,000,000 a year. Any such increase in the companies' operating expenses would spell financial ruin, as it would leave less than 1 percent to apply on the interest charges on over $160,000,000 of outstanding obligations. This wholly unjustified demand upon the companies comes at a time when the Surface Lines are recovering from the destructive assaults of the former administration. With the cessation of the vicious camp accession of an administration which see transportation, the Surface Lines have been great task—the transportation of 2,500,000 New and additional cars are being placed short time there will have been added to e modern, comfortable cars.

New and additional cars are being placed in service weekly, and within a comparatively short time there will have been added to equipment on the street more than 214 new, modern, comfortable cars. The complete equipment of one of the heaviest lines with solid two-car train operation is one of the plans for improved service for the summer. On June 1 there were in service on the streets 3105 cars—a greater number than ever before operated by the companies; and the traffic control efficiency of your administration through your Police Department has made the operation of this larger number of cars of direct benefit to the car riders by a freer and more rapid movement.

The dying woman's statement, used during the trial, completely exonerated William Armstrong, colored boy chauffeuf of the wealthy white family. At the trial an effort was made to show, that the boy committed the crime. Following the shooting, Diamond attempted to have her state that the youth fired the shot, but she refused. Cannon, East Chicago drugrust, testified that Diamond carried his wife into the drug store and said to him, "I will kill you, wife and I shot him. Whereupon Mrs. Diamond exclaimed: "Don't you believe him? He shot me. The Negro did not shoot me." "Honey, tell them the nigger shot you," Diamond pleaded. She replied: "You are a liar. You shot me." utility was doing for the public interests generally, entirely apart from its functions as a transportation system: Millions Contributed as Public Benefits The Surface Lines, coming in daily touch with and serving more people than any other public utility in the country, or in the world for that matter, have contributed millions of dollars revenue to the community in the way of public benefits. In the nine years of existence as a unified system the Surface Lines have poured into the public coffers more than $45,600,000 in public benefits, divided as follows: Although the ordinance specifically provides that the city's traction fund may be used to reduce rates of fare, not one dollar of the more than Thirty and One-half Million Dollars accumulated since 1907 has been spent by the city for the benefit of the car riders. The vastness of the system and its importance as a means of transportation to Chicago car riders is impressively indicated by the figures for three years showing the volume of transportation by classes: It will interest you to know that during a recent visit of a group of London Transportation officials it was stated that the combined traffic of the London tubes, buses and tramways (exclusive of the London County Council Lines) was practically the same as that of the Chicago Surface Lines, both as to the total passengers carried and as to gross revenue. The London visitors were amazed at the volume of free transfer passengers carried in Chicago, free transfers being practically unknown in London; and their observation in other American cities indicated that none approached Chicago's liberality in this respect, 30 percent of free transfers being the highest in any other city. During the various public hearings before regulatory and judicial bodies the financial magnitude of the Surface Lines was clearly disclosed. Since 1907, when an appraisal of the properties was made by an independent traction valuation commission representing the City of Chicago, there has been put into the property over $105,000,000 of new capital, bringing the total capital value of the combined properties under the terms of the 1907 ordinance up to $161,098,625.37, at April 30, 1923. Serving the Interest of the Public I have been identified with surface transportation in Chicago for nearly twenty years, and as I look upon this great system with its millions of invested capital furnishing its service to more than one thousand million of car riders every year and pouring into the public treasury more than $5,000,000 a year in cash, for public benefits, it seems to me that here is an enterprise which should be understood and appreciated at its true value by the public whose convenience and interests it serves. A public service, like a public office, is a public trust. And the public should resent any interference with the proper and orderly conduct of its business. Justice and fairness demand that a service like this should receive a fair return upon its investment. The Surface Lines, since the 7 cent fare was established, are earning on the basis of 5.7 per cent on the capital account. The gross revenue in the last fiscal year was $56,103,061.93. How Each Dollar Received is Expended The following table shows how each dollar of revenue was distributed: Operating Costs - Wages - Material, power, taxes and all other operating expenses - 50.08 - 30.20 - Cents - 80.28 - Sinking fund and Interest obligations - 14.78 - 55% to City of Chicago - 2.97 - Remainder for distribution to the Companies - 1.97 - 100.00 When these figures are considered and digested it is easy to see why the companies cannot grant a demand that would add $9,000,000 to the operating expense and why the only answer of the companies must be that the present high rates of pay are fair, and enough, and that the present margin of return is so narrow that no counter offer carrying an increase can be made. The companies are ready and willing to submit the whole question of wages and working conditions to disinterested arbitration, and the men have been so advised. We are deeply sensible of your efforts to bring about a complete understanding with an adequate appreciation of the rights of the public, the men, and the companies.

After providing for Marie Louise's welfare, he took his baby and went away, determined to make the most of his life's shattered dreams and went up to the best that was in him."

They are: Don't open each other's letters to avoid interruptions. you might not like the contents. Don't hone each other — change your conversation, change your interests; if you must, change your hair. If you absolutely must be frank do so privately. Once a day to a woman, "How beautiful you are." Once a day to a man, "How strong you are!" or if you can't say that, say, "How clever you are!" because everyone believes that. If it seems hard to be married to "him" remember that "he" is married to "you." "Find out on your hymnson whether swearing or crying is more effective.

Bride Leads Hubby To First Breakfast at End of Dog Chain KANSAS CITY, June 14.—In order to get accustomed to "leading a dog's life" a bridegroom was shackled with a dog collar and led by a dog chain from a wedding ceremony here Wednesday. Of course, the bridegroom resented the unusual experience, but friends of the newly married couple agreed that "a dog and cat should start right." Following the ceremony Jack Hotz, "the unhappy man," chained in a dog ambulance and his bride was forced to drive him through the downtown streets. And just to finish it up in style, the bride led her husband to the wedding breakfast by a dog chain. Thinks Women Will Propose To Men In Future WEST CHESTER, Pa., June 7. Young women are beginning to find the jazz period too shallow and are turning to things of more healthy type. Dr. Frank Paxon Bye, professor of psychology and director of Darlington Seminary, said today in an address at the commencement exercises. The present flapper period, he said, was merely a forerunner and constructive era of womanhood. "The girl of today," said Dr. Bye, "is not of the clinging type. She has departed from the Victorian period, but she doesn't know what direction to take. This has given us the flapper, and her fondness for jazz! She is an undefined expression. The modern girl really is stepping out, although not fully aware of the fact. She is preparing to move in the competition with men, suffer the defeat and gain achievements. "This stage of growing equality may reach the point when proposals of marriage may come from women as well as men. Marriage will be re-envisioned in the sense of a business partnership as well as a romantic phase."

THE PITTSBURGH COURIER HUSBAND'S COMMANDMENTS LED TO WIFE'S DIVORCE PLEA If You're Going to the Beach, You'd Better Read This Story The separation of church and state in Russia has exercised a strong influence on marriage, as well as on its corollary, divorce. It has been pointed out that marriage by church has no legal basis in Russia, and in a half hour is an actual legal possibility in Soviet Russia, unless, of course, the queues in front of the -respective registrar's tables happen to be too long. Or, if the couple are of a sentiment of mind, they may re-enter the church and divorce, time, if the officials are not too busy. Ease of marriage and even greater ease of divorce is one of the Communist government's answers to three of the world's greatest social problems: antimony, morality and illegitimate child. The simple net of both persons appearing before a magistrate and signing a marriage contract constitutes the only marriage ceremony recognized by present law in Russia. There is not even a formal name for a bride, must be bothicians, however, must present themselves. Divorce is still easier, in that the desire of only one of the two parties affected is sufficient. Either husband or wife may obtain abrogation of their marriage by appearing at the registrar's office and indicating that HUSBAND'S COM LED TO WIFE CHICAGO, Ill., June 14. — Within two months after their marriage, ten new commandments, neatly printed and framed, supplanted the "love, honor and obey" vows, declared Mrs. La P. Abelson in her suit and voce from George S. Abelson, president of the Carman Manufacturing company, filed last week. The commandments, according to the bill, were the climax of Abelson's "whims, eccentricities and idiosyncrasies" laid with the holding and inhuman treatment," which manifested itself in beatings, when she was unable to "beally entertain his friends on a princessly, lowance of $25 a week for all household expenses." When Abelson left for West Baden he left behind the following: "Rules of Conduct for My Wife—"1—Show love. If You're Going You'd Better I Daring bathing suits are drawing fire at beaches. Eight water 'torture reports have been laid on the mind of bathing suits to be worn. Here is what they say: Atlantic City—First bathing beach buds of the season have appeared in costumes designed to attract as little attention as possible from what they do not cover. Aside from the rhyloglyphics, designers have apparently decided to make the spring bathing suits as modest as possible, insofar as their aspirations to conceal are concerned. New York—Beach styles at New York's resorts will run the gamut from 1888 to 1923. Long Beach is displaying the scantiest and colorful costumes, but Cayne Island frequently features the ankle-length skirts of a by-gone age. They attract more attention than the one-piece's. Brighton, Manhattan and Asbury Park are in between. Nantasket, Mass., — Landlocked mermaids may wear the so-called one-piece bathing costume with a short skirt effect, dropping well below the hips, so far as toastable garments. They are covered this summer. Girls' must wear their stockings, however. Old Orchard, Maine — One-piece bathing suits may be worn on Old Orchard Beach this summer — provided the fair bathers keep well within the limits of propriety. "Fashion" parades, on the other hand, will be frowned upon by police. KUM | Isn't Taking HE GET HERE T. ZATSO? continuance of conjugal relations is no longer craved. There is no trial, no appeal. The dissatisfied husband simply signs a paper and walks out a free man. If there are children, however, he does not escape, responsibility for support. This latter point, as well as several other corporeal legal phases of the divorce question, are still a bit vague, owing to the fact that Russia has no written code of statutes. The only law that exists consists of a few decrees promulgated by the Kremlin and the common sense and conscience of the official. MANDMENTS Y'S DIVORCE PLEA "2- Show sympathy.

The two-piece bathing suit will be the favorite style, it is predicted. The sand nymph may not be required to wear stockings. Washington—Washington's bathing suit styles show a wide range this year. Conservatives, symbolized by stockings, suits for men and women and stockings for women and bathers, prevail at the tidal basin, the only beach in the city proper. At Chesapeake beach, a Maryland resort, much patronized by Washington, the only rule is, "let your conscience be your guide." San Francisco — From Seattle to San Diego, and including Los Angeles, Portland and San Francisco, the one-piece bathing suit will rule unhampered by censorship on the Pacific Coast this year. Although by a few, rather obvious regulations, in the main, each bather will judge for himself or herself how large the one-piece shall be. In Portland, the chief of police has its animal inspection of the river resorts to see if there was anything not to his liking. Apparently he liked everything he saw. Southern California beaches require that bathers, who go window shopping in the business districts, wear bath robes. But no one has gone so far as can be learned.

One day he stood by the butcher's master cutting a bullock's head. After a while the butcher cut out the tongue, and, turning to the lad, he remarked: "There, my boy. That's a tongue that never told a lie." "Ay, sir, answered the boy. "Can you beat it?" asked the butcher. "Ay, sir," sad the boy again. "In what way, sonny?" asked the other. "Well, sir," said the boy, pointing to his own mouth, "this tongue has often told the truth. The bullock's never has."

Mary Ellen, who is dressed in blue, the result is not likely to please the visitor or the visited. Company was expected in the first grade room and Miss Mary started to clean house. Mary Ellen, aged six and five months, was her right hand. While the class was spreading the story of the Three Little Pigs to make sure of it, Mary Ellen, who was dressed in black and was as you preferred, was allowed to dust. Having wiped down the blackboards she blew off the dust on the chalk tray annotated "bronchial Izzie to coursing violently." "Why, Mary Ellen, yok know nobody ever blow chalk dust! What ever possessed you?" "was in a hurry!" said Mary Ellen. "I was afraid they would come." Miss Mary waved her info silence and she ran down stairs to clean the erasers.

"Mary Ellen!" screamed the teacher. "Oo-oo-wow!" screered the class for frantic Mary Ellen snatched at the tulips, missed them and sent the bowl of sparkling goldfish to the floor. Fish and sand and weeds, and water, tulips and green paper, and soil, spread in a sloppy, messy oven. "Sit down! Get the mop! Look out for the fish! My goodness! Keep still! Sit down, I say!" Class and teacher together tried to salvage the wreck and the guest of the day escorted by the beaming principal walked in.

Geno was dealt out to the unchaste by the natives. The culprits are obliged to drink poison. Conductance Our sympathy goes out to Mr. and Mrs. Browne in the sad and untimely loss of their little daughter, Caroline.

Pinkard will direct the orchestra and a pair of saxophonies will be carried to augment house orchestra, June 4th, and the production is expected to be ready by the latter part of the month.

J. June 9—Last Night, the cream of North Jersey Society occupied Kruegers Auditorium in Newark with one of the finest combined concerts and dance programs in New York. Before the curtain arose, every available seat in the big hall was occupied and the picture made by the well dressed audience was in itself a pleasure to converse with. The committee given by the committee of One Hundred for the Colored Home for Aged and Orphans at Montclair, N. J. The Sojourner Truth Ukelele Club, Francis Jones, leading opened the program. This is a local organization that was making its first appearance. They acquitted themselves well. A group of amateur-musical comedy artists under the direction of Elizabeth Nixon presented "In hot tamaleamal," a two act musical by the veteran secretary of the C. V. B.; Robert Slater, of New York. Miss Nixon in a character part, and in a song number that was well 'sold,' proved herself to be of professional callibre. So did little Fannie Boll, a child dancer of unusual meth. She and her colleagues were the out-standing charisers. Others in the group were Leonard Wright, Adeline Vaughn, Arthur Wright, James Thigpen, James Vaughn, Richard Vaughn, Curriezer Cobb, Leon Shackleford as principals and the chorus that did the credit to "Bob" included—Misses Alice Avery, Helen Miller, Dora Emery, Ella Wood, Eva Miller, Dora Emery, Edna Edna, Lillian Scotland, Myrtle Bodine, Lydia Vanderer, Fannie Bell, Bernice Vaughan, Anna Newvins Natalie Vaughn, Messrs. Arthur Bernice Vaughn, Messrs. Douglas, Georgette Kenton, Everett Shields, Henry Walker, Raymond-Waters, Clarence Sherman, Felix Walker, William Vaughn, Richard Stewart, Winfield Sards, Richard Sards, Trindors-Wells. In response to Mr. Charles Ringling I must say that if all Carnivals will adopt the plan that the Jones-Jenkins Carnival is based upon, soon the event will be eliminated. One must give Uncle Dudley credit for the massive show and personnel from the advance agent to the most humble laborer in his employ for both white and colored people, in which all of them conduct themselves. The show played my town Rockville, Md., last week and there was nothing but good word said for it from both white and colored people, in which all of them conduct themselves was liberally patronized each evening with its mixed crowd. While "Dad" James with his Dog-and Pony act and Willie King a volunteer at the Top. The Concessions-all of them were clean without the least scintillation of dishonesty or graft, the Merry-go-round and wings were operated by a gentlemanly Corps of attendants, the people who were all that was said for it and more than what was expected. Hartman and his Queen Orchard Band kept the crowds in good humor and on their toes the entire week as they flitted from one amusement spot to the other. (I would have been pleased to see him but previous engagements and local-obligations would not permit me to-at least this season), while I cannot say as to the financial success derived so far, I will say that S. H. Dudley has had many ups and downs since this time, and I do take a little time to get on a good working, profitable basis. Faint heart never won a fair lady or fat fainter, but if S H., holds on in the manner that a fair lady or fainter must be his. Again with kindest regards to madam, I The big smash of the evening was the "Down Home Trio" composed of Joe Simms and Mr. and Mrs. Russell Lee. This set volunteered their time on in street so completely impressed the people with their work, and later with their social grace as to prompt the master of ceremonies to be more responsible for the assurance given the Page who was present that from now on, there is one home in this land with an open door for the professional show acts.

The Salome Slipin were last minute disappointments, a fact that was regretted by both them and the Newark folks. beg to remain most sincerely yours. From other success, the information has come that the show was so cleanly presented, so fair about conduct and so approachable, and that the grounds as remained free from fighting, therefore the Sheriff of the county has, volunteered to provide the management of a public letter indorsing these facts. The show will play the lot adjoining the Douglas theater in Baltimore during the week of June18, the day of the funeral of Woodman. At Lakeland, Md, they played under the auspices of the A. M. E.

Salome 'Producers' In Fistic Argument Show. Changes Hands — Now Reassembled in New York as Property of Mrs. Anderson. The Ethiopian Art Players who went to Philadelphia after their brief stay on Broadway, were again at the Lafayette theater in New York for the fiesta in the city. The company was idle, the victims of troubles between their promoter and the Robert Levy interests who had booked the show in Norfolk for a week at the Attucks theater. Names that Mr. Levy and his associates who had booked the attractions into the Frazey theater down on 42nd street, New York had also advanced considerable money toward financing the trip, in addition to Mr. Levy, the director knowing that the Levy obligation which are alleged to total $1600, had Mrs. T. Anderson who has been with the attraction as a press representative, attach the responsibility to prevent the move to Norfolk. It is reported that Messrs. Levy and O'Neil indulged in Fistlecus in the Quater City over the matter. At any rate, after the week lay at work, which was continued in New York show was re-assembled in the property of Mrs. Anderson. The performers, all of them being of the original case, seem to have been satisfied and at press time weeks ago there was some long faces over back pay. The added people who appeared in some productions other than "The Chip Woman", and "Sallome", paid. Among those are Lewis Thomas, Montgomery and the Two mother and son. MF.

It is unfortunate that such an exceptionally capable cast of artists should be victims of amateur management. People like Evelyn Preer, Laura, Bowman and Sidney Kirkpatrick deserve a better fate.

The dungeon was about 5x9, with no ventilation nor toilet fixtures. (Here follows a description of the hole too vile to publish.) We had to sleep on the cement floor. Of times there were so many in one dungeon that some would have to stand up while the others tried to sleep. Food Uneatable We were given two crusts of bread twice a day, and the bread oftimes was so moldy that it couldn't be eaten. We were made to drink the water before we ate the bread. On this first occasion I was "down" 16 days. After being cut 20 days, they took me in one deputy warden's office again on another "trumped-up" charge. I was beaten so badly this time that I didn't walk in the dungeon 13 days. When I finally came out, I was so weak I couldn't get about very fast, and four days later they took me in the deputy warden's office for the third time. "Beaten Until!" I Was Blind This time they beat me until I was blinded. They forced my jaw and nose. They knocked out a tooth and refused to give me any medical attention. Just imagine 10 state police and three prison guards beating on one defenseless prisoner. Four held me while the others beat me up with 100 affidavits from other fellow-prisoners. I judge that over 300 men were subjected to the "club" system, but none were beaten up as badly as I was. I was beaten up as high as 54 men in seven dungeons. Some of these "hell-holes" became lousy. On my third trip to the dungeon, seven others were in with me. And as I sat there, bruised, battered and sore, beaten up for—nothing—I began to think of how I had fought on the firing line in the Great War. I watched the bullets of the Hun, while these men, now my persecutors, had stayed behind in safety, under the pretext of "working for the government." I told the rest of the boys of my experiences, tears of bitterness from tears of sorrow, because I was so helpless. I said: "Boys, they told us that we were battling for Democracy, but you all see that is one h—1 of a Democracy for me. But now I have made up my mind that I would sooner die in battle than I would survive and myself. How many of you will battle to death when they open up the doors to give us water?" Three white men and two colored buddies, with myself, agreed. Two THE PITTSBURGH COURIER men, one white, the other colored, refused, and when the guards came they squealed. But I had made up my mind to battle with them every time they ate me. I was the one who they attacked me again. They were surprised to find that the worm had turned. When I got started I thought I was going over the top at the Huns. I knew I couldn't win, but I gave them a great battle. They finally overpowered me and when I came to, I was in the dum- ness, on the floor, unable to rise. This time I stayed down nine days before the doctor ordered me out. On April 10, 1922, they came in and beat me up. This time I refused to come out of my cell, telling them that if they wanted to heat me up, they would have to come in my cell. They did, the deputy warden had shot me with an ammunition gun. When I came to, five or six guards had me. When they attacked me, I fought them as long as I could raise my hands. I was thrown into a dungeon, unconscious, and kept there for 10 days. When I came out, I was put in cell DK range, directly in front of an outside door. The cold draft blew right through my cell. None of the other prisoners could come near me. Every day some one of them came in, and caused, and the thought of it almost drove me crazy. On July 24, 1922 they pulled my partner out of the exercise line and four guards were beating him up. This was more than I could stand, so I went to his assistance. When we got into the deputy warden's office, the present warden and deputy warden, with several others, ganged me. This time I stayed down in the "hell-hole" for nine days. With me were my friend and two white fellows. All of the guards who helped do this dirty work have turned yellow and out, with the exception of three guards who were here for years. The new guards who have taken their places will not stand to be tools. But Warden _____, who was then parole agent and Deputy Warden _____ are still here, and through their brutality, my health has been impaired. I have been taken to a hospital and I want to seek redress by a bail against them and Foreman for $100,000. I have never seen Warden _____ who resigned last August. Men who have been here five and seven years, and who have been paroled, warden has always run the place. Now, since Governor Pinchot has been elected, Warden _____ has become a self-interested proselyte. The warden has been connected with the prison. He has always been hostile toward a prisoner. This dates even back to the time when he was parole agent. Even then he would not allow a prisoner to stop him while passing through the prison and he seldom granted an interview to a prisoner. He has always believed in deformation and then reformation for the prisoners. Warden, personally, has helped beat me up as well as other prisoners. One particular case where he took a hand in helping beat up a prisoner was No. 500, an elderly man. He was 60 years old. This man is still a cripple from the effect of this beating. There are other men in here, half-blind, cripple and victims of tuberculosis and other diseases, the result of brutal and bestial treatment. One man I know, by the name of "S" is in the last stages of consumption. He wakes up when he entered the prison, but the "lash" and "club" system have taken their toll of human vitality. Men Indirectly Murdered Man have been indirectly murdered here. I saw one big Turk thrown into a dungeon, beaten up, so bad that he was crazy. He was in such a condition that he didn't know where he was. When he was taken out of the dungeon and put back in 51 cell on the k-range, he was carried out three days later—dead! The officials claimed that he committed suicide, but we here knew better than that. Another colored man by the name of ..., who also went through brutal treatment, was carried out dead from his cell on K-44. Another colored man, known by the name of ..., and who was under medical treatment for a venereal disease, was beaten into a prison for talking to prison an adjoining cell. He also died several days after being taken out of the dungeon. The mortality and insane record of this institution for the last two years is a disgrace to the State of Pennsylvania. Warden —— is trying to cover up all his dirty work by having a few stool pigeons, who write letters to newspapers, who letters to newspapers, praising his administration. The Warden's Bluff The greatest one of all he ever put over on us was about two months ago when one Dr. ——— of the Russell Sage Foundation, past president of the American Congress, and Sage were here for three days looking over the prison. They were steered around the prison by the warden and when they made a request to interview some of the prisoners, so as to get their view of conditions in the prison, they were taken into a reception room and 36 hand-picked prisoners were sent into them. Not one of the 36 men were idle, not one of them had ever been beaten up or put in the dungeon. And not one of them had the courage to speak the truth about the report which they made to ——— would have been more conserved. show the trickery which is resorted to, in an effort to suppress the real conditions of this place. In conclusion, I beg to say I wish to make an application for a pardon this fall, and give my freedom, to the Government Hospital. I can't get any treatment here. I am locked in a small cell 22 hours out of 24. Lieut. Gov. Col. Davis knows what us boys went through for 18 months on the other side, and he fully knows how we found conditions when we returned home. And those conditions were the cause of many like myself going wrong. What I want through since I have been here makes my stay overseas appear like a holiday. I have wished a thousand times that I would have died upon the battlefield, surrounded by loving and considerate comrades, dying, fired with enthusiasm. Then the sacrifice would not have been in vain Editor, The Pittsburgh Courier, Pittsburgh, Pa. Dear Sir-I and the rest of the prisoners are very clated to know that you are going to give the public our gide of the prison conditions. I am enclosing you the regular prison letter head, which will show you the details of the thing against the prison when he had a visitor. If one would start to say anything about ill-treatment, his visitor would be ushered out of the visiting room and when the visitor was out of sight, said prisoner would be given the room to his cell. "Pushish" his cell. no matter what he would make no difference whether your visitor was from East Liberty or California, he or she would be allowed only 15 minutes. At the time of the riot, it was told to the press that the prisoners did not tell the statement was untrue. The riot started as the prisoners had assembled in the mess hall at noon. Two minutes after the smashup started, a guard couldn't be seen in sight. Most of them were hiding in the hospital, for twenty or more prisoners had full sway in the yards. No prisoner tried to get over the wall. After the smashup in the yard, the prisoners returned to the cell-block and started to smash that up. When police reinforcements came from the outside, the wrecking was all about where the prisoner who were shot were fired on while they were on the range. Many of them had taken no part in the disorder. The two prisoners who were pardoned in January, 1922, for heroic actions were somewhere hiding at the news office. These two stool piggons did what give the names of a lot of the prisoners they thought took part in the smashup. A week or so after the riot, Warden — called all the guards in his office, and there told them that his work was on a thread, further declaring: "Show sympathy for those convicts. Black-jack the —" The guard who told us this resigned the next day. A number of others, who refused to do this dirty work, quit their jobs. Whose full name warden, was a local prize fighter and a pool room parasite before he came here to work. After the trouble, when he was hiring guards, he always asked them if they could use their dukes. If they could use their dukes here, they stole thousands of dollars worth of headed bags and necklaces from the prisoners. The more ignorant a prisoner is, the better he can get. along with the prisoner, one is a stool pigion, one is a model prisoner. I guess this will fill out the bill. Of course I could fill a book of the doings of the things of this place. The stool pigions have told the prison officials what is coming next week and you should see the look on their faces.

Jury System To Be Changed Under all the rules of Court, the litigant who asks for a jury trial feels that this is the way to have his dispute submitted to twelve impartial men for a fair and final adjustment. He thinks the verdict of the jury ought to "settle it." But under recent indictments laid at the door of the present system, the average citizen is led to believe that it is next to impossible to secure a fair trial before a jury. To correct the alleged evil, a Bill was introduced in the Senate at Harrisburg, and the Bill was intended to make "the jury system fair." The Bill, if enacted into law, will make the system fair, so say the advocates of the measure. But what of a fair system if the members of a jury are not of the fair-minded type of citizen? Why kick on the system, when it is the members of the jury who must pass upon the cases. A correction of a system may afford satisfaction to those who want a change in the system, but this does not assure the people of any better men and women as jurors than we have today. The trouble lies with the individual heart and conscience. The system has very little to do with the question. Suppose we went out and brought into Court the first twelve men and women we saw on the streets, what would be wrong with that system? Suppose we found twelve people who were fairminded, honest of conviction and conscientious—what would we care about the system employed to find these people? Not much. The jury system is good enough. The trouble lies in the itching palm of those who are so void of a sense of honor and duty that they allow themselves to be approached on the subject they are to pass upon as a juror. The American man and woman will have to be improved, before we may expect a higher type of arbitration of human disputes. The Political Pot Pittsburgh and Allegheny County is soon to be the center of a political storm, unless the reported "harmony angel" hovers long enough over certain belligerent camps to insure peace. The factions are allowing the report to spread that there is to be a peace program. The Courier predicts right now that unless Secretary Mellon stops the "boys" from scrapping over preferences, by refusing to finance their contests, there will be somewhat of a scrap here in the fall. This harmony report is in line with political precedent. We have heard similar reports before. All the report is intended for is to prevent the "little fry" from declaring themselves too soon. This gives the big fellows—who could not call the name of three voters in any given district—an opportunity to prepare the candidates and their announcements. It is the same old story, fold in language just strange enough to make it stick. As for the factions, there is little to be concealed. It is known that some people want the political scalp of Max Leslie, the leader of the "Strip." Their wants will have to grow older. His head is not to be sacrificed this year. Others want to see a few of the Pinchot followers escorted to the rear of the political council and quieted. Others think Mayor Magee will have the time of his life keeping the payroll in line, in view of his attitude toward it a few months hence. Then, there are a few ambitious ones who are tired of the small county plums and have their eyes on state melons, such as auditor generalships and similar berths. All this leads us to say that the usual scramble will be on this year, unless Mr. Mellon orders the safe locked until after the election. A Gun Law. Why Not? Almost every one knows there is law against, carrying concealed weapons. But it is as generally known that weapons are carried, and concealed at that. The daily papers keep us fairly well informed on the shooting, the gun play, the hold-up man, and kindred crimes made prevalent by reason of the revolver. Aside from the proper use to which fire arms may be put, there is little or no excuse for carrying concealed weapons for protection. True it is that many people are held up and robbed at the point of the gun, but very few of these victims would have improved upon the situation, if they had possessed a gun when ordered to put "hands up." Too often the man who refuses to "hands up" and attempts to empty his own gun, is shot dead by his assailant. Then, too, the man who reaches for his own weapon frequently loses his life by the reaching. Few people escape robbery by reason of their own gun. What seems to be needed just now is some regulation of gun production, and some drastic regulation on gun distribution. Stores all along the public streets display guns of all calibres, all sizes and all prices. To the weaker minds this display is taken as an invitation to buy. The curious fellow usually buys his first gun out of curiosity and his second one after he has become hardened to the habit of carrying a gun. Every day some one is shot, some one is held up, some one is injured in some form by the unlawful or careless use of a gun. Ordinances regulating the sale of arms should be passed and enforced. At our present rate, we shall soon have a daily list of gun victims, not unlike our present list of automobile victims. Why not a gun law, while we are at Harrisburg? Located almost in the center of Pennsylvania is the proud little town of Altoona. And there is just reason for the pride one sees bubbling over on every hand as one moves about, among the inhabitants. Every resident of Altoona knows the Mayor, and he, in turn, knows almost every inhabitant. The population of the town is about 75,000, and this indicates how thoroughly the people and the Chief Magistrate understand each other. The human touch is ever present on each inch of the city soil. And when the outside world learns some of the happy faculties of Mayor Charles E. Rhodes; little surprise will be THE PITTSBURGH COURIER LEND THEM A HELPING HAND On every hand we hear some remark about the migrating Negro from the South. He is the general topic of almost every section of the country. In the South he is advised that he will encounter strange people and a cold reception in the North. He is warned against leaving the place of his birth. When we see Negroes coming into our various railroad stations, we must remember that they have given up the South only after ignoring every argument imaginable. They have left all, and come North to cast their lot with friends who have preceded them, and with strangers whose hospitality bears not too good a reputation. The northern Negroes watch the influx with keen interest and not a little apprehension. The great hordes, pouring in on every train, give rise to serious questions which must be met successfully before the various communities into which these strangers come can add just themselves. Too often, the northern Negro is impatient with the stranger from the South. Too frequently the northern Negro offers open opposition to the brother from the South, in one form or another. If the opposition does not take the form of criticism, it breaks out in derision and haughty avoidance. If the Negroes from the South are to be made useful to the communities into which they come, they must be given a chance. If we expect our various cities to absorb the new arrivals, we must give the new arrivals an opportunity to acquaint themselves with the new conditions, demands and regulations. We can not expect strangers in our midst to know our customs, our habits, our various social ordinances, without some instructions. They can not become a part of us until we are ready and willing to accept them. They will discard their revolvers when we arm them with confidence and contentment. It is argued that we get the bad element, the undesirables. This is true only relatively. We get some good and we get some bad. The good we get need a chance, and opportunity, if they are to remain good. The bad must have a chance, an opportunity, some instructions, some help, if they are to become good. Before we hasten to discourage the brother whose flight from the South is just a little later than our own, let us give him a chance, a mans chance. Strangers are suspicious of other strangers, and naturally so. It is our duty to offer the welcome, and they will accept it in the spirit given. We have little reason to point to their faults, their awkwardness, their crude customs, their revolvers and their lack of decorum, until we are sure they have been taught by us in all the nicer things known to our community life. Give them a chance. LEND THEM A HELPING HAND SOUTHEAST MIGRATES CROOKS FAKE LABOR AGENT MICK DON Give Them a Chance On every hand we hear some remark about the migrating Negro from the South.

Almost every city has its RED.TAG for motorists. Almost every city has its motorized police force, employed and directed to get the violators. Every American is aware with what care, precaution and justified fear the average motorist enters the corporate limits of a city of 75,000. But Altoona is different. which have come to us, during the past year. Tears, flowers and habitations of the grave bring to us the realization of the sad and awful presence of death. In inevitable as the end of the day, is the close of life. Since time was, death has been its fully prepared to meet its terrible consequences. It is in the eternal plan of nature, that all living creatures must die, in order that others might live. The fragrant flowers of the blossom and bloom and send forth the fragrance, sweeten the air we breathe, and then die and the dead refuse, serves to fertilize and richen the earth, in order that other flowers might grow up in their places into a grand fruition. The lower animals come into the air, and them on the altar of death, in order to human beings may feed upon them and live. The Mayor has issued a RED TAG over his own signature. The TAG is new and so human in the message it bears, we offer it as a safe sample of American courtesy, to be practiced by all Americans toward all other Americans. The tag is issued to people who DO NOT live in Altoona. It reads: "The holder of this card is a welcome visitor to Altoona. In the event of minor violations of the traffic regulations in the matter of parking or otherwise, officers are hereby directed to show the holder every consideration." We submit that this TAG is something new in our neck of the woods, to say the least. Unlike other towns, the officers are instructed to aid strangers who violate regulations, rather than arrest them, jail them, and fine them for the good of the city treasury. Just a little more humanity like this, put into daily practice all over the country, would make the place HOME for every American. The spirit of Altoona will attract thousands of motorists who, otherwise, would detour around the town, as they do other towns unfavorably known for their lack of the Altoona spirit. Man comes upon the scene we are told in the Bible. That the number of our days are three score, years of our days are labor and strength that they may be four score, all we are soon cut off and we fly away. It is no respector of persons it knocks at the door of the peasant and we knock at the palace of the king and we know the coming, which is as certain as the ravages of time. SQUIBBS We note by the press that "throwing the bull" is to become a popular past time down in New Orleans. It's an evil wind that blows nobody good—who knows but what bull fights may detract, a few of the blood-thirsty lynchers? All liquor flows toward New York. This indicates that some one knows what the New York people want. If they want it, no law will remove the wanting. And yet the "Drys" yell about the dirty work of Al Smith. Your presence here today, coupled with this beautiful, but sad ceremony is a tribute cioquent in itself, and the blending of the amaranth and ivy, emblematic of love and immortality, united by a spray of forks all the sentiments that we tokens of all the sentiments that we bolize the lesson of existence. It has been the theme of poets, philosophers, theologians and orators fraages, and their songs and words have so glorified the great beyond that the offluence of its heavenly dispelled the gloom, and the music of angelic choirs have robbed the grave of its eternal silence. Garvey is using up quite a little time trying his case. Another way of putting off the sentence. That Democratic Mayor out in Chicago could almost "pass for colored" in a certain Ward of the Windy City. The boys really love him. Colonel Young, DEAD, was the greatest American that ever lived. The only way he could get official recognition in the public eye at Washington was in a casket. To The Editor STATE OF NEW YORK Executive Chamber Albany Alfred E. Smith Governor June 9, 1923 Editor, The Pittsburgh Courier, Pittsburgh, Pa. My Dear Sir:— I read the editorial which appeared in the issue of The Pittsburgh Courier, under date of June 9, with a great deal of satisfaction, and I am thankful to you for it. Sincerely yours, (Signed) Alfred E. Smith. Death is everywhere. If we go to the far off isles of the sea, or on the storm tossed billows of the mighty deep, in the depths of ocean, or on the peaks of the snow capped mountains, on the plains, or in the Vale. In this情形 all winter continually exactly its awful toll. In vain you have called the names of your absent brothers today; but from the silent tomb there comes no response. Their labors are ended and they have gone to receive their mental gift from the cold clay from which they came. You paid to them the last sad rites of departed brothers. You will see to it that the grass is kept green over their graves. You will write their faults upon the sands, their own the tablets of love and memory. Now my bretherh, while we pause and bow our heads in sadness for those who have gone before us; yet we must remember that we a debt to the living. This occasion should cause 'every one within the sound of my voice to look over his life!' And how have I spent my life? How have we prepared ourselves for the future? During all periods of the world's history, beginning with the savage tribes, all people have at some stated periods held some form of memorial service in honor of their dead it is a sacred space which once was in custom and while we are in the flesh and have the association of our brethern, it is indeed beautiful to contemplate, that after we have shaken off this mortal coll and all that is left of us have been deposited in the color of blood we are not forgotten; but that our memories live in the hearts of our brethern left behind and who only too scon will follow. That there will be some one from time to time to tenderly place a forget-me-not on the little mound, which marks the spot of our last resting place. To see to it, that the grass kept growing, we finally to write our faults upon the sands; our virtues upon the tablets of love. While we have assembled here today to pay our tribute of respect to the memory of our departed brothers, yet we should not be unmindful that we have the awful responsibility resting upon us, of relieving and making better the conditions of the living. So that, if each of us have made the ten commandments, if we have obeyed the ten commandments, if we have helped some unfortunate brother, if we have lived up to the principles of this order; then we Can wrap the drapery of our couch about us, And lie down to pleasant dreams." In order to succeed in this life, we must be unselfish, the selfish man is a misfit in human society. His nature is so warped that he is of no service to himself or to anyone else. He looks a life like a monkey. He keeps the standard of humanity by his own estimation of himself. He forgets that there are sermons in trees, books in the running brooks, and good in everything. The unselfish man finds profit and pleasure in assisting those who need it, and in helping them time that he is his brother's keeper. The great characters who have left their impress upon civilization and who have done most to benefit and upkeep humanity, have been in the man who worked ceaselessly and unselfishly. You will pardon me if I disregard long enough to call your attention to some of the selfishness now tolerated in our Order. I refer to the salaries paid our officers. These officers, and their friends, have shown a very selfish spirit by gradually increasing their original amounts, which were quite sufficient to their presents amounts which indicate that there is a tendency to keep raising salaries as long as the officers are continued. I am opposed to raising salaries for men who do no work for the Lodge when they do not work for the Lodge. Retry who labors all day for his employer for a salary, and then works for the Lodge after his day is done with his boss. If he can do what he does for us after dark, he ought to be willing to accept pay commensurate with his very light selfishness if he is willing to receive more from the Lodge than his services can possibly be worth. Imention this one officer as an example of selfishness. This ought not to be in the Lodge. I am against raising salaries for men who have nothing to do. We have no choice but to must stop this wholesale salary boxing, and keep that money for the widows and orphans of our Grand and Glorious Order. The four cardinal points upon which this order is founded constitute the bulwark of our fraternal existence. This order has gone forward by leaps and bounds in spite of opposition, because, every member of the family has his ability to live up to these principles. Charity dries the wiener tears and removes the thorns from the pathway of the orphan child. The Eighteenth Amendment—The Northern Mig The Negro and Prohibition Mr. Bryan's Fourth Defeat—Roscoe Conklin OVERNOR SMITH, of New York, has approved the bill repealed enforcement act of the state legislature. This decision and the prohibition issue upon public attention. The decision is the one and the most effective and the most effective. As a Democrat, it is very far-reversed in other course was left to him. No man has been to the same point as the other point. The policy laws. By some twist of attitude, the white South became the most efficient capम्ohibition, notwithstanding the fact that such federal management all of their received traditions concerning states rights has been eighty. Governor Smith has produced a state paper which has been the politicians much concern in the approaching campaign has its own scheme of ethics. The moral quality of an issue is the only one of the most important parties, playing with the issue of the policy of a game of expedition. The law was neither an immorally, but of dubious political advantage. Even if the institution's was never espoused by the astute politicians of that way is right moral issue. In the coming election, the grand old party has been the rallying cry of law enforcement in relation to the tenth amendment. The ethics of this position seems to be unmistakable. And yet to the clear-sighted student the policy manifits the policy law is not to be dislocated by political expedition. The statesmen will not push the logic of their ethics to the point of for the enforcement of all law. They very conveny, for the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments are parts of the federal process but the eighteenth amendment must be enforced or all order is still to be made. The who breaks one commandment is guilty purposes an ethical consistency which is not seriously a very far-reversed. The Republican party will probably endorse the right of the eighteenth amendment, because it may be so good as an easily prevailed by the law and to be a large vote. The party will likely insist upon liberal construction of the policy law because the states with an overwhelming city population are the New Jersey and Massachusetts can probably be carried on. The Southern states are safe for the party, whatever the issue. If either party may do will be dictated by political expedition, and any love of righteousness. The Negro and Prohibition THE Negro has a deeper moral interest in the question of inhibition is vital to the salvation of the race. Whatever consequences whiskey may bring to the white race are made by three when applied to the Negro. This disproportionate of intemperance is not due to color, but to condition. This without inhibition and cultural self restraint be the easiest victim of any evil habit. Every leader of the and promoter of the better life among the colored people of necessity be an advocate of prohibition. The question not admit of debate or argument. Any Negro who opposes inhibition does so because his deeds are evil or his aims are. I said on one occasion that the Negro bootleger greatest enemy of his race. The assertion led to critic some quarters. But I wish to repeat and reaffirm the issue. Not only does the black violator of the law contribute direct the physical and moral damnation of his race; but he skilishes an argument for the annulment of those providing the constitution intended for his especial benefit. If he becomes bootleger, he forfeits his moral right to conduct political profiteer who violates the fourteenth or fifth amendment. The weak race cannot afford to trifle with issues. It will be a lucky political stroke for the Negro party to espouse the cause of prohibition, if for no other than that it will somewhat redeem its ancient reputation the party of moral ideas, and will attract the great bulk. Negro vote, which is so significantly slipping away from political moorings. BOARDED the train at Union Station, Washington, D. C. last for the city of Philadelphia, where I was billed to speak on the gro Sanhedrin." To my utter amazement the depot was crowded migrants on their way North. A train of eleven cars was filled in this class of passengers. On the whole they were orderly and behaved, with the manners indicated that they sented the better element of the population many women with their children going to join their husbands who gone before to prepare a place for them. I talked to a number of and found that they were sensible and well meaning and bent tering their condition. They clearly had not weighed all of the adams and disadvantages of the situation; but they were not stamped and appageda. They were in quest of a new country and贮贮 with the appageda would be better than those few they had escaped. They possessed a range of vision and had cut loos from their old connections to hide them. As the train speeded northward I could not repress in possibility of closed shops and mills within the next few years, poor people would then become utter helpless. But I also began to have no immigration laws, and the collapsed condition of the industries of the North will have, able to absorb this years to come. I also mugged upon them that I should labor accustomed to southern shiftlessness when brought into compa with northern efficiency. Will the Negro carry himself to the North thus unify the white mind against him? Or can we get the South as the Negro as, easily we get the Negro of the South? What the Negro with such human consideration and he will prefer to remain sunny land of his delight? Then the Negro with such human consideration I watched this mass of half conscious humanity seeking for a better unguided by clear-vision and far-seeing consequence. Mr. Bryan's Fourth Defeat HON. WM. JENNINGS BRYAN went to the Presbyterian General Assembly fully hopeful of being elected Modern After many bitter experiences in politics, he still press his Presbyterian faith in the Doctrine of Election. But, also was doomed to a fourth defeat. Little did he dream that he espoused the Southern attitude on the race question that sudden shift of attitude would confront him in his national ambition. But Negro delegates were there. They were bereed the apostacy of the erstwhile apostle of the right man. It was their vote that brought about his defeat. Mr. Bryan has changed his residence to the South and since has, like the chameleon, taken on the moral coloration of his environment, might it not be well for him to transfer his bership from the Northern to the Southern Presbyterian church? The only difference between the two grew out of real differences over the race problem. He should make his position complete. In the Southern Presbyterian General Assembly, he would easily carry the day both against Darwin against the Negro. THE reports tell us that Mr. Bruce has given up the education and has planned to re-enter. Harvard to study law after an absence twenty-five years. Mr. Bruce is now forty-four years. He has filled high-emotional stations in the educational field decided to enter upon a college middle age. Four years of his preparation does seem to impede the thirty years of service yet remaining. Mr. Bruce possesses a capable well informed mind. His culture is thorough and genuine. He is an example to our educated young men and women, who are prone to enter upon the most difficult and intricate professions with adequate equipment. The old Miltonian formula still holds good: "not how late I enter upon the duties of life, since I enter fit." Lowell and Bruce It will be an auspicious moment indeed when President L. extends to Roscoe Bruce the glad hand; and welcomes him to "Fair Harvard."
