U.N.I.A. Head Will Fight Case To End
Sentenced to Five Years at Atlanta, Garvey Is Held in New York Prison Awaiting Action on Appeal.
NEW YORK, June 28.—Marcus Garvey, "master mind" of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, convicted late Monday night by a federal jury of using the mails to defraud, and sentenced last Thursday to serve five years in the Federal prison at Atlanta, Ga., together with a $100 fine, will fight the case to the bitter end!
This fact was made known immediately, after the conviction, when Garvey, through his white lawyer, admitted to the appeal, attorney Kehr also asked that the former head of the Black Star Line be released on bond until action had been taken on the appeal.
Freedom under bail was refused Garvey, and he was ordered back to the Tombs. Assistant United States Attorney Mattuck agreed to permit the U. N. I. A. leader to remain in the "Black Marie," "provided he does not write any inflammatory articles for his newspaper." Garvey appeared depressed and drooping. He was surrounded by a score of detectives and police to prevent any effort at rescue on the part of his followers.
Marks End of Long Fight.
The climax of the trial followed a lengthy argument between the prosecution and the defense, represented by Garvey himself, who had fired" his colored attorneys. The trial last four weeks and sensation followed sensation as the schemes and "dreams" of Garvey, were aired in rapid succession.
At times riven to flowery heights of oratory, and at others, showing little or no knowledge of the law, "dreams" appeared in a ridiculous role as he attempted to train his guns against the overwhelming array of keen intellects which represented the prosecution.
NEW YORK, June 28—The first gun in the long fight just ending against Marcus Garvey and his fraudulent schemes was fired by several of the leaders of the African Blood Brotherhood, notably Messrs. Cyril V. Briggs and W. A. Domingo, through the columns of their organs. The Crusader Magazine and The Emancipator, a weekly newspaper.
It was Messrs. Briggs and Domingo who exposed the fact that Garvey did not own the steamship "Yarmouth" at the time he was selling Black Star stock on pretensions of ownership. It was Messrs. Briggs and Domingo, aided by others of their associates, Messrs Richard B. Moore, Thomas Potter, who, scornful of the efforts of Marcus Garvey and his lieutenants to incite their followers to violence against them, accepted the foolish dare of Marcus (Continued on Page 11, Col. 7)

Man Forced To Wed Girl At Gun Point
Teachers at Missouri School Implicated in Scandal With Girl Pupils—One Elees, Other Forced to Wed.
KANSAS CITY, Mo., June 28—There was more in the sudden, unannounced marriage of "Prof. Peter Crutchfield of Western University to Mae Bridgeforth, a student there, and the hasty by night flight of Lawrence Patton to Colorado, and the immediate preparations for a trip home by June Smith, a student at Western, on the day before commencement exercises than would at first be suspected.
Crutchfield, who is storekeeper at Western University, Quirk, Kans., and Patton, who is assistant instructor in electricity and engineering at Western, kept nineteen-year-old Mae Bridgeforth and seventeen-year-old Smith, both students to attend the laboratory.
PATTON
According to students, Patton Crutchfield had planned the escape for days in advance of its happening. On the morning of the incident Patton and Crutchfield were heard planning with the girls, in a store near the school. Following this talk. Crutchfield and Patton, who, because of their capacity, had no restrictions on their movements about the campus, were seen to go across the chicken farm down in the lonely woods near the river.
Within half an hour they were followed by the girls. They were stopped in their course by a teacher in their arm to go to their dormitory. According to his statement, the girls turned as if to obey him, but took a round about way and went to the woods, where, in the company of the men, they were later discovered by students and two of the instructors of the school. The girls attempted the flight when they were discovered. Surprised in their act, Patton and Crutchfield assumed a meek and humiliating expression.
Crutchfield Resigns.
Crutchfield immediately harded in his resignation, Patton, who is married, first attempted to "smooth" wings with President Peck, who refused to hear him. Patton left about midnight of the following night, leaving the girl, June Smith, to suffer the humiliation.
Mother Hastens To School.
Mrs. C. Crutchfield, who resides here, is mother of the girl, she hastened to the school when this news reached her and it is said that at the point of a revolver commanded Crutchfield to marry her daughter. Reluctantly, he compiled, but it is rumored that he deserted her shortly after the marriage, leaving for parts unknown.

"The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is advised by Scipio A. Jones, its attorney at Little Rock, Ark, that the Supreme Court of Arkansas, by a decision rendered this day has ordered the Elaine prisoners released."
148 Fourth Ave, Pittsburgh, PA. "The Arkansas State Supreme Court adjudged, respectively, Gretwinkle and ordinance. The Bismarck Area tendants, discharged. These are cases in which State Supreme Court twice reversed Phillips County convictions. Men have been awaiting retrial for more than two years. We applied for writ of dismissal whereupon we appealed to State Supreme Court, gaining decision today after nearly four years of fighting and cost of more than fourteen thousand dollars. This marks beginning of end of greatest case of its kind in history of America."
(Special to The Pittsburgh Courier. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 28. Flashing over the wires from Arkansas to New York and Washington came the news late Monday that six Elaine farms, held for more than four years, following the fatal Arkansas race riot, had been ordered released from prison by the Arkansas Supreme Court. The news is the course of these six men is being held to really mark the "beginning of the end," for all the men, and has brought to its final stage on the of the most unique and tragic injustices the race has ever forced to undergo.
Influential Colored citizens, civic and fraternal organizations, headed by the N. A. A. C. P., have staged an unceasing barrage of protest ever since the men were arrested. More than $14,000 has been spent in a mammoth effort to keep the ends of justice unthwarted, and to release the sixteen, unfortunate men who had been slapped into prison at the height of the disorder. Twice convicted by the Phillips County Court, and with the decision twice reversed by order of the State Supreme Court, the case was brought to a head early this year, when Moorfield Storey, former president of the American Bar Assoc.

The Concentration of Negro Wealth
. CHICAGO, Ill., June 28.—The Douglas National. Bank's new $250,000.00 building on State St,
opposite the nearly $1,000,000 Binga State Bank on.the opposite corner, will be the greatest, centraliza-
tion and concentration of the colored peoples’ wealth in the United S:ates and doubtless the world. Here
on one corer in their own building capitalized at_ $200,000.00 is the first colored National Bank in this
country with total resources of over 2 half million dollars, April 1; on the dpposite corner is. one of the
largest State Banks owned and operated~by colored people in the United States: capitalized at $100,000,
with over $600,000.00 total resources, according to the April statement, and we daresay it has passed the
million mark by now with many new deposits due to this tidal wave of prosperity in Chicago. In our
Joop all the big financial houses center around LaSalle Street, as Well Street in New York—why should
not the wealth of the colored people af America Be concentrated near 85th and State Street in Chicago?
Mr. Anthony B. Overton, the president of the Douglas National Bank, is the owner and manufacturer of-
the world famous “High' Brown” Powder and Toilet Goods, which concern has a rating of $400,000.00.
Mr, Jesse Binga, president of the Binga State Bank, is Chicago's oldest and most successful real ostate
broker and private banker with s personal fortune rated above the half million mark. I am going to '
tell you about the personal side of these two financial giants in the near future. They are as Sitrerent
‘as Henry Ford and John D. Rockefeller. If you have a guess or a suggestion, write me at 3763 S. Wa-
bash Avenue, Chicago.

of the performers were molested.

at OUN, June 28.— Slavery
and human sacrifices are still going
on in some of the mountain dis-
tricts of Northern Burma, accord-
ing to the annual report of the
commissioner af the northeastern
frontier, published by the govern-
ment here. It is in the territory
known as the Naga Hills that the
sacrifices take place,
Atterapts by the government to
eradicate these practices have not
entirely succeeded. The redemption
of slaves intended for sacrifices has
only resulted in the use of money
saved for a binger and more ex-
pensive sacrifice later on.
By a recent Yovernment investiza-
tion, it was discovered that the num-
her o£ human sacrifices in the Naga
Hills is never tess than from six to
ten & year.
The victims usually are both boys
and girls, kidnapped from Assam,
although ' any kind of | avuilable
slaves may be included in the slaugh-
ter. One dark-skinned girl, who-al-
ready bad been earmarked for sacri-
fice by the Nagas was recently re-
leased through government action..
At the time of the last_govern-
ment éstimate there were 271 slaves
in Hkmapti, against 473. in the pre-
vious yenr, A few deaths of slaves
had occurred, but the reduction was
mainly due to slaves . redeeming
themselves or being released yolun-
tarily by their owners.
The report mentions several cases
in which natives were enticed by the
Nagas to enter the country to work
as blacksmiths and subsequently
were seized anil soll as slaves in the
Hukong valley. Some of these men
had settled down with wives provid-
ed for them and had no desire to be
liberated. A certain number, how-
ever, appealed to British officials,
who'were alle to procure their free-
dom. In addition to those found
among the Nagas, seven cases of
human slavery were _diseoveres
among the Hukong Kuchins.

mitted a segregated special race
column to appear in his Chicago
Daily News; but a colored reporter
has been a regular member of the
staff for years at an equal salary to
all other employees. In another ar-

New Market for Negro
Talent and the Organiza-
tion of Two Theatrical
Circuits Seen in New
Movement.
By J. A. JACKSON
Performers and those interested in the show world have just begun to notice the probable effects of the migration of wage-earning Negroes to Northern industrial centers.
The first inhabitant has, besides the diminished patronage in a number of Southern cities. In some few instances theaters have actually been obliged to close. Skipping the closed town has added to the transportation costs of shows and acts, and reduced the route by one or more weeks.
A more pleasing outgrowth of the migration is the promise that is held out for the establishment of theaters in Northern centers of Negro population that has heretofore been too small to be considered by show interests catering to Negro patronage.
Within the past three months several different theatrical groups have set about investigating the possibilities in the towns whose Negro population has been augmented by the migrants. Contrary to the general impression, these Negroes are not going entirely to the big cities. Many are going to the smaller towns. Bridgeport and New Haven, in Connecticut; Haverstraw, N. Y.; Bethlehem, Alcoona, Johnstown and Farrell, Pa.; Akron and Youngstown, in Ohio; Gary, Ind., and the very best theater, purify the establishment of a Colored theater. There are many other similar cities.
The most natural result will be that it will be possible to find a big theater for Negro talent. These towns will provide the needed jump between the already established theaters in the big Northern cities. All indications to the organization of a new circuit with Washington and Louisville as the southernmost cities.

'Dixiana Revue,' To Be Given By Johnnie L. Long
Johnnie Lee Long, owner of the "Shu-Shu-Shu" company, announces that the poor struggling boy that he describes himself will put on another show. It will be called the "Dixiana Revue" and will be equipped, as is his other company, with special, scenery and electric effects. With two shows he is on his way to becoming a magnate. Wish him well with both of them.
As a substitute for this plan, it may develop that the powers that be in the Colored show world may get, together and out of the confusion that seems imminent. will two circuits, one comprising the smaller houses, and the other theaters of sufficient size to support dramatic shows, musical comedies and the vaudeville units headed by draw, name acts.
Should either of these come to pass the producers will be encouraged to continue producing for the Colored market, for with enough weeks in these houses and the available time in the other theaters that have recently come to look with favor upon Negro talent, assures them of a reasonable run for their shows with a chance to get off the nut. There is a lot doing among promoters of Colored enterprises, but most of the fellows are trying to keep under cover. However, their own letters are scattering the stories of the various efforts that are being made to control the Negro business. We can't predict results, but whatever may happen will help, inasmuch as anything that tends to keep the actors of the race employed is helpful.

After arrangements had been made for a special performance for colored patrons at the Hyman Auditorium on June 13, Rudolph Valentino disappointed about 3,500 of them by abruptly leaving the city of New York for a engagement that had been advertised at the Bijou theater, a colored house. Just why this engagement fell through is not explained..

Effort Of Race Carnival Show Brings Praise
The Jones-Jenkins Carnival Co., the pioneer Colored organization of its type, is but a month old in actual operations, yet the page has been the recipient of more than a half dozen letters of approval concerning the attraction.
Henry Hartman, band director and the representative of the Baltimore Afro-American at Rockville, Md., was the first to place the stamp of approval on the little organization of Negro showmen and their effort. Robert Cross, secretary of the National Association of Colored Fairs, who visited the outfit in Washington, in the interest of the nearly 60 colored fairs who comprise the organization, reported favorably upon the carnival, and recommends it to the different Colored fairs. Class, style, courtesy, deportment and talent compares favorably with any, says Mr. Cross. He admits that the show is not so large as most of the established concerns in the field. The youngest man, while the player has declared that the deportment was such as not to require any of the services his office affords to malefactors.
And Charles A. Oliver, Grand Traveling Deputy of the I. B. P. O. Elks of the World, advises that he inspected the shows when they played under the auspices of Ancient City Lodge, 175, at Annapolis, Md., with the result that he recommends it to the order at large, and does it on the official stationery of his office.
This carries out the assurances given by Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson, given to Mr. Dudley during the promotion days of the project, that if the shows were of standard caliber that they would be off. Both sides have made good, and the Elks of the World will hereafter have an attraction at their disposal that is of assured merit.

Former Stage Star, Now Race's Best Costumer
Has Designed and Made Some of Most Famous Dresses to Have Appeared on Stage—Made "Radio Gown."
Ten years ago Jennie Hillman decided to quit the profession, and as she did not want to settle down in her home town in Ohio, she started a dressmaking career in New York, catering especially to the performers with whom she had worked for so long.
Today Jennie has a history of achievement in her chosen line that would be a credit to a much more potentious establishment than her Harlem home and studio appears to be. She has declined several offers to lend her name to Broadway concerns.
In these ten years she has dressed a lot of New York ladies in exclusively designed gowns. Her greatest achievement in that direction being the Radio gown, prize winner at the Tattler Style Show last winter.
Her products have been ordered and shipped to all parts of the country. Her credit standing with the big department stores and the dealers in theatrical costume supplies is virtually unlimited.
She has done whole shows for Straus and Franklin, Charles Barton, Gus Hill and other big burlesque producers. She made the whole equipment for the unfortunate "Dumb Luck" show and press comment on these gowns in New England papers was most favorable. N. S. Feldman has had a number of his girl acts dressed by Miss Hillman, and Joe Sheltell is proud of the work she delivered to his revue.
Leona Wilson, Ethel Waters, Evon Robinson, Ethel Williams, Jerry Brown, Margaret Lee, Sarah Martin, Margaret Lee of the "Liza" show; Lottie Gee of the original "Shuffle Along"; Nellie Brown and Theresa West are among the stars whom she has gowned. For years she designed and made the "Smart Set" costumes.
Miss Hillman says her original capital was five dollars. Be that as it may, it would take a lot of added ciphers to express the value of the business her efforts has built up.

Famous New York Club Provides Inmates of Sing Sing Prison With Evening's Entertainment.
On June 14 Charles Gilpin, the star of "Emperor Jones," headed a group of artists who went from the C. V. B. A. club in New York up to Sing Sing prison and presented the unfortunate with an evening's entertainment that was very much appreciated, if one may judge from Gilpin and Mr. Slater by the Mutual Welfare League of that institution. Here are some extracts from the rather long communication:
"It is with a decided sense of inadequacy that . . . I attempt to thank you for your entertainment last evening. I feel that the men very audibly registered our appreciation and gratitude in the great applause. To me, what seems more important than the entertainment itself is the spirit in which it was given. The thought that lies behind the music, the pleasure and please and brighten our hours. The kindly feeling and interest toward us, is what counts.
"You gave us something of laughter, something of music, something of dance, and something of yourselves to take back to our cells with us. Something for mind overhauling. . . I wish it had been possible to have talked with you. There is much that I would liked to have told you. You would be interested in some of the things the men, many of them colored, are doing to better prepare themselves for life upon release. For would be the year of our commercial school, or year of our repairing plant, out music school, our band and orchestra hours . . . and the fires of ambition that makes the deserving men fit for decent lives after leaving here.
... Please pass to Mr. Slater and the others our sincere thanks and good wishes for your success. . . Merritt T. W., Director of Entertainments." Charles S. Gilpin acted as master of ceremonies and read part of the lines from "The Emperor Jones." Others in the party were Billy Conway and his Creole Quartette; Billy Mitchell, the boy the insnake met; the Boy Luggy Tril; the Moose, Blanch Levy and Mabel Jones, Moss and Prye, Ethel Waters, the blues singer. Bob Slater was general director and Mrs. Luclie Randolph and Mrs. Fred R. Moore were chaperons for the party.

If a Man Die, Shall He Live Again?
The great struggle for democracy has passed; souls as well as bodies have been emancipated. Let us mortals be as intelligent at least as the popliss of Flanders Field, look up with them to the sunlight and heaven, and say with our souls, "There is no death." Beesath our little rooted feet lies the old house where once lived a brave soldier. Ceases singing, "Death is the grate to end less life, and in our hearts believe our loved ones die daily. When the Seer and Medium, Jesus of Nazareth, came to us he taught man to banish from his mind preparation for the no evil death, instilling within himself the principles of the resurrection, demonstrating conculsively and beyond doubt that death has no dominion over the immediate rise of the soul, "O, believe, the wonderful prophet who is the early days of his separation (the material to spiritual) was seen walking and talking on earth by many accredited witnesses—Matthew, 28th chapter, 9th to 20th verses—St. Luke, 24th chapter—St. John, 21st chapter, and further by St. Paul, 13th Corinthians, 15th chapter, 5th to 8th verses—thus bringing into truth the argument of Modern Spiritualism as taught and demonstrated through mediumship. May (God) Holy Spirit hasten the day when every heart shall be filled with the divine glory of Resurrection Morn, and when every soul shall have accepted the truths of Spiritualism as taught and demonstrated by Jesus Christ of Nazareth, who when making the change (called death) exclaimed with all assurance, thus, "This day witht shall be with me in Paradise." (And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free) (Jesus). (Read and think for yourselves.)

OPPORTUNITY IS CALLING YOUR ATTENTION PROPOSITION OF THE G. M. JOHNSON MANUFACTURING CO. OF JEANNETTE, PA.
History of the Development of the G.M. Johnson Manufacturing Company
The Company was chartered in the State of Delaware under date of January 19, 1917, with an authorized capital of $250,000.00—divided into 25,000 shares of common stock, of equal par value, $10.00 per share.
The Company owns a chain of patents, consisting of eleven broad and basic patents issued by the United States Patent Office.
The Company, since its incorporation, has sold its common stock by personal representation of the officers of the Company who have to date disposed of the present outstanding stock, amounting to $101,930.00.
During the year 1918, a plant was purchased in the town of Jeannette, Pa., which was used as a warehouse until the year 1920, at which time the demand for our equipment has reached such a stage that we were compelled to equip this building with machinery, which we have been operating ever since. Our equipment is constantly increasing and from present orders on hand and the outlook for the balance of this year, this will be the banner year for our business in its history and career.
As our present facilities are inadequate to meet this increasing demand for our products, we have therefore purchased a new site on which we intend to build a factory large enough to take care of our present and future requirements. This new factory will be equipped with the latest and most improved facilities for manufacturing our line of products.
With this new plant and the modern facilities for producing our products, we will be enabled to manufacture our complete line of equipment at a saving of from 10 to 15 per cent of the cost that is at present consumed in manufacturing.
For the purpose of providing the additional facilities and working capital, we have concluded to sell the remaining treasury stock which we have now remaining at $10.00 per share par value, subject to prior sale and advance in price without notice.
THE OFFICERS OF THIS COMPANY WILL BE GLAD TO GIVE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION DESIRED WITH REGARDS TO THE AFFAIRS OF THE COMPANY. If you desire the same, just fill out this coupon and mail it to us at once.
as high as previously, the time of the courts has been saved, and the expense to the county correspondingly cut.
Mr. Gardner announces as his future policy a practice that he has inaugurated since taking the office of District Attorney, of refusing to countenance the use of the powers of the office for the purpose of collecting civil obligations for anyone, or for the encouragement of those who seek to use the courts for the dictions are not asked unless there is substantial evidence of material wrong-doing, nor are convictions sought when the District Attorney's office is convinced that the indicted man is innocent. In the past many "spite" cases have ornamented the criminal court dockets, but they
have been growing fewer and fewer under Mr. Gardner's administration, as it has become known that he will not lend his office to the persecution of any citizen.
District Attorney Gardner entered the district attorney's office equipped by nature and by training for its duties, as few men have been in the past. He was the choice of 13 Common Pleas judges for the place when Judge Rowand went on the bench, and these judges had ample time to consider his qualifications and fitness as since 1918 he had been serving as an assistant district attorney, having risen from fifth to second assistant during that period.
Mr. Gardner was born in Washington township, Westmoreland county. August 15, 1876. As the

In 1918 he was selected as fifth assistant by District Attorney Rowand and by hard work has risen to the head of that office. His appointive term of one year expires next January, and he asks the support of all good citizens on his platform, which is, "I will enforce the laws of the Commonwealth as they are on the statute books, without fear or favor."

Now he is a boy workman. His pitching was classy that he had to stick on that mound through nine long inings and do his stuff. He beat the man and three Sox pitchers. One man stoof for the Baltimore boys like a straw on instastm Day. That was Possum, who bids fair to being the field king when John Henry aged 16 and agile brain to co-ordinate. (About 19301) Possum's easiest efforts were some help to co-ordinate.

Griffin proved himself Patterson's lieutenant, the Patterson undergoing such severe punishment from the terrific catapult-like punches of his adversary that the physician was called in to administer treatment to the Detroit lad. Monday night was the first time Griffin has fought in the seaside meadows of Detroit, ago, when he fought and defeated Al Stern. Griffin's next bout in Atlantic City will be with Joe Tiltipz or which he will be playing the character in the boxing world.

Dope' Indicates That Dr. Brown Will Win Again
Dope' Indicates That Dr. Brown Will Win Again
CHICAGO, Ill., June 28—Looks like Edgar G. B. Brown, present Illinois National, Ohio, Indiana and New York champion 'net, title holder will retain his laurels. He has entered the semi-nails, having defeated John Taylor, Kansas City champion and the only player to win one set from him in practice this season. Score of match played Monday at Princile Tennis Club, Chicago, where Nationals will hold forth August 20-26: 6-2, 3-6, 6-3. Brown kept Taylor guessing by his steady baseline driving and his uncanny, volleying decisively to the corners for needed and crucial points. Taylor is a great "getter," being only a 20-year-old lad. Dr. O. B. Williams, 1921 Western champion, is unlikely to play further as he injured his right hand. Richard Hudlin, University of Chicago Freshman champion, and R. A. Toney, with the cannon ball service, have also advanced to semi-final round. The women's singles and men's doubles are up in the air with Toney and Williams, Lewis and Taylor, Brown and Hudlin going great. Mrs. O. S. Seams, Miss Dorothy Radcliffe, Miss Henderson and the present champion, Illinois and National, Miss Isadore Channels, are in the semi-finals of the women's bracket. It looks like Dorothy or Isadore.
BEN TAYLOR'S POTOMACS SETTING LIVELY PACE
By W. Rollo Wilson
PHILADELPHIA. June 28—Gennial, hustling Ben Taylor and his crippled Potomacs, accompanied by Secretary Butler, are registered at local hotel. They are filling 'dakes with P. B. A. teams during the week. When seen by the writer Ben was as cheerful as usual.
"We have a good team," he said, "and as soon as the men recover from injuries no one will be able to see us for our dust. Lewis, Brown, Eggleston, Clarke, all are suffering from injuries. Lewis has a broken leg and the others all ought to be in some one's hospital. But the boys are all game and want to play and how are you going to keep such fellows on the bench? You can say for me that they are the most loyal, unselfish chaps I was ever associated with."
The outfit is going good and have won a majority of their games to date. They have met all sorts of competition and have played as far West as Cleveland. They dropped two games to the Farmers in New York Sunday, but made such an impression that Mr. Butler was asked to name his own terms for a return date. They play snappy, intelligent baseball and that is what the fans want.
The team is on the road till July 2nd and then they return home to play a five-game series with the Harrisburg Giants.
Local Tennis Club Joins National Body
The Rex Raquet Club is progressing wonderfully and promises to establish Pittsburgh on the tennis map. Although they have no stars at present, they do have talent that is very promising. This organization is planning to secure courts that they might develop this talent. They have been installed in the National Tennis Association that they might compete in the coming tournaments. The social end of the club is being taken care of very ably by the ladies, quite a few original, unique ideas have been suggested for entertainments, so that the public is in store for some real treats. The last week in June looms as the time for a novel lawn-fete. The club will do its utmost to make this affair an unusual success so that all present will be assured an evening's real pleasure. For final date and place watch next issue of this paper.

TO MEET IN ATLANTA, JULY 3
[Signature]
Jackson And Flowers Get Down To Work
Ohio Pugilist Will Outweigh Rival by Ten Lounds July 3 Card Biggest in History of Atlanta.
ATLANTA, Ga., June 28—With Tiger Flowers and Tut Jackson as the main event over the 12-round distance and a card embracing a total of more than 50 rounds of boxing, the big show at the Auditorium on July 3 will undoubtedly be the biggest ever staged in Atlanta. Other matches are in the making, including five 10-round battles between boxers of known ability.
Will Make 175 Pounds
Tut Jackson will make 175 pounds for the main go, which will be about 10 pounds advantage over Flowers. Flowers is under 165 at present, but will be built up in weight by several pounds in order to have a better chance at the big Washington Courthouse light-heavyweight. A victory over Rufus Cameron, coast heavyweight, in Nashville Wednesday night is but another feather in the cap of the Tiger. He took every round from Cameron, despite the fact that he was giving away 38 pounds, and twice had the big fellow down for the count of nine. The bell saved him in the fifth round.
Jackson has a record of 72 victories, and has not lost but one fight in two years, that being to Harry Wills, contender for the world's heavyweight championship, who weighs 220 pounds.
The July 3 boxing card is being widely advertised throughout the south, and one of the biggest houses that ever assembled to witness a boxing show south of the Mason and Dixon line is expected, when the star card is staged.

Liberty Homing Club Hold 500 Mile Race
The Liberty Homing Club of the Garfield district flew their sixth old bird rage from Vandalia, Ill., a distance of 500 miles air line. There were 75 birds from 6 lofts in the contest. The birds were liberated at 6:30 A. M., Saturday morning, but as the day was very warm and only 4 miles of wind per hour, the birds had a very hot day to travel. There were no birds home the same day and after a good night's rest somewhere in the fields, of West Virginia or some other place down that party. Pete John's Little Jake flashed home a winner 8:45 Sunday morning followed by Right Fast Jr. from the same loft. Old Hootchook took third for Pete, so we can plainly see now the Mr. Johns have the best flying birds in Pittsburgh, when it comes to flying long races. John Morgan was second man to report. Scott and Allen were third, while T. Thomas was fourth, and loft no report. Little John made 6over 900 yards a minute. Morgan made 800, Scott and Allen made around 800 per min. This will finish old bird races. The first young bird race will be flown from Coshocton, Ohio, on the 2nd of September, 1923.

Consumers on Friday, 7-6, in a hard-fought game. The feature of Thursday's contest was the superb twirling of Oscar Owens for the Grays. Owens allowed but two hits. The hitting of Canady and Moody was sensational. 'The feature of Friday's game' was the hitting of Owens, Johnson and Washington.
Cuban Stars Sensation Of Junior League
Hildale Continues to Set Dizzy Pace, But Winning Streak of Cuban's Make Them Dangerous Foe.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa., June 28. By keeping their slate clean since the reverse handed them by the Bacharach Giants in Atlantic City, the Hildale Club has breezed along at a one-thousand clip and are still out in front in the first pennant chase of the Eastern Colored League.
Winters, the lone southpaw, drawing stipend from the house of Bolden, has been a tower of strength to the Philadelphia contingent, since the elongated portside has rounded into form he has been turning in victories with marked regularity. Lee is another hurler that has been hanging a great record. The underhand artist has slow-balled his way to a couple of victories and suffered no defeats in league contests. While much may be said regarding the defensive works of the Hilldale outfit, it is really the murderous offensive of the Hilldale crew that has blazed the way to so many victories. Captain Lloyd, playing the true role of a leader, has been delivering in the pinches, turning apparent defeats into victories and the grizzled veteran has been ably assisted by Mackey, Carr, George Johnson, Briggs and Thomas.
Intent upon packing the laurals of the new league back to the "islands" Manager Pépezel's Cuban team, after applying the brunt in the series with the Baltimore Sox by coping three straight from the Monumental City boys run their string to six straight at the expense of the Bacharachaints, when the Islanders inaded the sand dunes of Atlantic City and turned back the seashore crowd in three straight contests. Taking into consideration that the Cubans are on the road all of the time, they are placed at greater disadvantage than the clubs that have home grounds, but this apparently does not worry the Chacon and his warriors. Oscar, the spitball demon, has been a source of trouble to all opposing league clubs and is now one of the league's leading hurlers. The Cubans, although a light hitting club, are producing timely wallops when they have men on the bases.
The Lincoln Giants are still in a deep slump, but Big Joe Williams and his gang are figuring on the proverbial worm doing the turning act and getting off the skids.
Baltimore Sox and the Bacharach Giants have both dropped in the percentage: column due to falling victims to the wiley, "Gubes," while the Royal Giants will get back into league games after a long trip through New York State.

Cuban X Giants Re-open Central Park Saturday
Former Home of Keystones Have Been Remodeled. Big League Clubs May Be Seen in Action.
Once again local baesball followers, lovers of fast semi-pro ball, will be given the chance to visit Central Park, following an announcement last week, to the effect that Sell Hall, manager of the Cuban X Giants, had secured the park, and after more than two weeks spent in remodeling the ground, enlarging the playing field and erecting grandstand and bleachers, has arranged to play twilight and Saturday games at the park.
The first big game will be played Saturday afternoon, when the strong Duquesne club, one of the speediest semi-clubs in this district, will be met at 3:30 P. M. The visitors, it is said, are preparing to strengthen their lineup for Saturday's encounter, and from all appearances, one of the best games of the season in the city will be on tap. Hall's Giants have been travelling at a sensational clip this season and local fans will again have the chance to see Johnny Spencer, "Bull" Barbour, Johnny Allen, Archie Barnett, Roy Anderson, Portaundo, Mellix and others well known in local circles in action. All of these lads have been seen in action with the Keystones and the Grays, and their ability is well-known. Mellix, Collins and Hall, himself, will appear to be having the best season in several years, form the backbone of the pitching staff. A new receiver, Sands by name, is also in a Giant uniform, and his work has been of a highly sensational nature.

Eastern Tennis Stars Prepare To Invade Chicago
Clubs Holding Inter-Sectional Tournaments in Effort to Pick Best Material. By GEORGE M. BELL
NEW YORK, June 28 — Simultaneous with the announcement that the Western players were beginning to arrive in Chicago, and that those already there are wasting no time in getting in shape, the Eastern Vigilantes have started a recruiting drive whereby they hope by the end of August to have an array of talent that will hold its own against the best in the land. Preparatory to this invasion, the New Jersey team will be the new member of the National Body, held an Inter-sectional Tournament on Saturday, last, with the result that some sturdy recruits were unearthened; these they will send to New York to take part in the State Championships in August where they will get their real tryout before going west. Among these players are Mr. Mitchell, late of the Springfield Y. M. C. A., representing South Jersey; George White of the Warde brothers, of New Jersey, which won the tournament. The tournament took place on the courts of the now famous Shady Rest Country, Club Westfield, N. J., with the following results:
Lindsies Singles
Mrs. Thornhill, of New Jersey, defeated Miss Karney, of South Jersey, 6-0, 6-1.
Lindsies Doubles
Miss Vaughn and Mrs. Burnett, N. J., defeated Miss Williams and Miss Lowe, S. J. 6-0, 6-0.
Mixed Doubles
Miss Gorman and Miss Karney, S. J. and Mrs. H. Williams and Mrs. Myatt, of N. J., played a three-set match to a tie, when the match had to be called. The score stood 6-4, 1-6, 10-10.
Men's Doubles
S. Williams and J. Francis, of North Jersey, defeated J. Granger and T. C. Williams, of S. Jersey, score, 6-2, 4-6, 7-5.
Men's Singles
Terry, of North Jersey, defeated Granger, of S. Jersey, 6-4, 6-1, Warde defeated Dr. Robinson, 6-3, 6-1.
Pryor, of S. Jersey, defeated Butler, of North Jersey, 6-4, 3-6, 6-3.
Mitchell, of S. Jersey, defeated George Hill, of N. Jersey, 3-6, 6-3, 7-5
North Jersey thus won 6 matches and lost 2.
ARROW T. C. ENTERTAINS
The combined strength of New Jersey and Love Island could not stop the youngsters in the Arrow Tennis club, by whom they were entertained on Sunday afternoon, June 21.
Players representing not less than half dozen clubs came to 1838th street confident of defeating the Arrows, but were sadly disappointed for reason. Arrows can burst of not only but also the youngest players in the east.
A large sized gallery spent the better part of the afternoon watching the several contests which proved very interesting. The players and friends were served with refreshments and an enjoyable afternoon was spent by all. Match games of this nature will be held whenever possible, as the Arrow clubs in the East out to bring the National Championships to New York in August. Among the players of not only are members of the Arrow T. C. are Ayers, Sakth, E. Gomes, R. D. Ponder, J. C. McDowell and J: B. Williams, who is captain of the club.

Ben Taylor's Washington Potomacs have completed a second wok of games in the Philadelphia district. Though beaten in most of their starts here, Ben's boys were by no means disgraced. Genial Ben's cup of trouble is sure filled to the brim. Brown, Lewis, Clark and Eggleston are all crippled, but, like the game guys they are, they will not quit. With such loyal players the Potomacs are bound to be a success.

Just now the Baltimore Black Sox are shot to pieces by injuries, but that is no excuse for the indifferent game they are playing. Saturday several players made absolutely no effort to run when they hit fly balls. The black and tan owners of this outfit need to get a he-man as playing manager. They need someone to cuss them out and put the fear of God in their hearts. Under the present divided management of the man on the bench and Pitchcher Mihoney, their results can be obtained. The club might self-identify as *weaning Dick Pettus are*. However, if such a thing he possibly
Manager Lloyd is authority for the statement that all of his players are satisfied with their berths and his management. This is to refute the rumor published in the Courrier two weeks ago, said rumor having set the town on fire.
Reputation has not meant a thing to the Lincoln Giants. Conceded to have perhaps the strongest team in the East, they now repose in last place in the Eastern League. The name they made for themselves playing white teams has not been worth a tinker's dam when they have stacked up against the colored brother.
Dir. McClealain's Philadelphia Giants will soon start on a road trip which will last well into August. Here is a first-class team in good standing in the Philadelphia Baseball Association, which finds it impossible to secure bookings with member teams. Whenever a game is scheduled with a Philadelphia team, some sinister influence sees that it is cancelled. In one week they had four games knocked out at the last minute. Mr. Sherlock Holmes might be paged to good advantage.
E. Gomes defeated Mr. Brown, of Widley, 6-9, 6-2.

Harrisburg Continues To Set Hot Pace
HARRISBURG, Pa., June 28.—Upwards of 1,600 baseball fans were marooned in Island Park Saturday afternoon as a result of a heavy thunder-storm which broke about 4:45 oclock, and stopped the game between the Harrisburg Giants and Shenandoah. Dark clouds of the denseness of night made it impossible to play and the game was called at the end of the first half of the fifth inning, with the score 7 to 2 in favor of the local team.
Five minutes after the game was called the storm broke. Rain fell in torrents for an hour, flooding the field and walks and making exit from the baseball field impossible, until after the water had subsided. Hasty calls were made in the city fo. automobiles, but it was long after 6 o'clock until everybody was off the island.

The latest release on the Tuskegee hospital tangle gives the public just cause for impatience with the whole affair. Now comes the lengthy report tending to show that the present white personnel is due to Southern activity, in spite of Moton influences; as well as the prediction that soon the personnel will be Negro from top to bottom.
There is little need of fooling the people, on this hospital question. It is very evident now that there are at work at least two opposing forces. The one seems bent upon depriving the other of any reward or honor for the personnel finally to be chosen for the hospital; while both desire to impress the public with their strong political influence around the White House.
Of course, the reading public will weigh each report, and give value to either or to both as seems fit and proper. There is little real value in either, in our judgment. And why?
It is evident that President Harding directed that Negroes he selected to operate the hospital. It is just as evident now that whites are in control, with a few blacks acting as "funkies." This state of things evidences one of two conclusions, viz: President Harding was sincere in requesting a Negro personnel, or he was not. If he was sincere, and then allowed Southern sentiment to drive him from his course, he is nothing but a slave to sentiment, and is too spineless to be President of the United States. If he was not sincere, and did not intend to put any force behind his orders, then he simply acted the part of a cheat to the Negroes, and again disqualifies himself for the high and exalted position he holds.
But we have our suspicions that the President has not pursued either course. He is too wise, or he is surrounded with counsel too wise, for any such a stupid course of conduct. We are of the opinion that too many chefs have spoiled the broth. All the talk about crackers ruling the situation sounds well; but too often the crackers are assisted by a few evil-minded Negroes. But that aside.
The activity of Major Moton justifies, we think, our recent criticism of his conduct. He lives in the South, where he MUST ship to sentiment, and save his life from actual danger. He knows all this, and he knows that his great work is in the South, where he will die trying to fill Booker Washington's shoes, a la directions. It is utterly impossible for Moton, living where he does, and under the conditions he does, to take the lead at any time in anything political touching all the Negroes of this great country. Political leaders MUST hail from a section of the country where there are votes to support the leader. Moton, by his activity, middled in a political quagmire when he tried to thrust Southern leadership upon Northern voters. It simply spells confusion, strife, envy, jealousy and prejudice. The Negroes of the North are not going to see their voting pressure added.
strongen peded around over the country by Moton. He ought not thrust his leadership upon the men who must do the voting in all political campaigns. Major Moton need never expect to see the Northern Negro sitting idly by while Southern leadership assumes the role of dictator for the whole country. The hospital has been and always will be a subject of political manipulation. Major Moton knows the black South means little or nothing to the Republican party. The great pivotal states are in the North and West. It was not the part of wisdom for Major Moton to thrust his assumed leadership into a national question, especially when he could have avoided it by simply attending to his duties as head of Tuskegee. A political hospital is a subject for politicians, not educators. Nor will good intentions justify bad judgment.
Now it is very easy for President Harding to say that his original plans to have Negroes operate the hospital were broken asunder by a division among the Negroes themselves. This is just what he wanted, and the two factions played into his hands as completely as if he had directed them in person.
The result: The Negro loses its power.
The result: The Negro loses as usual.

Whatever else may be said of the N. A. A. C. P., unstinted credit belongs to its uniring activity in behalf of those Arkansas farmers whose lives were about to be snuffed out by the hand of prejudice and Southern "speedy" justice. The Arkansas court, following orders from a higher tribunal, has ordered the release of the men. For this ray of light along our benighted road, let us give thanks to those whose hands and heads directed the rescue of our ill-fated brethren.
And there is another benefit which comes to us all, and which we might not have received, had not the hasty judgment of the court been reversed. We refer to the established practice of giving Negroes a hasty trial to escape the lynchers. The reversal of the court and its hasty action serves notice that there must not only be a trial, but a trial clothed with all the formality, dignity and impartial rulings common to trials in our highest tribunals.
The net benefit will not dawn upon us until in after years. Precedent is a most valuable thing, at times. In future years, when a kindred situation is brought before the courts of the land, the rulings, findings and orders of court in the case of the Arkansas farmers will be referred to with pride and confidence.
The N. A. A. C. P. may catalogue this case as one living thing actually accomplished.
The Battles Monument Commission
One of the last acts of the Chief Executive, before leaving to invade the West and Alaska, was to name the American Battles Monument Commission. We are not acquainted with the whole Commission, but we happen to know two of the gentlemen: the Hon. David A. Reed, United States Senator from Pennsylvania, and Hon. Robert G. Woodside, Sheriff of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. If the remainder of the personnel measures up to these two gentlemen, monuments erected in memory of American battles will represent real Americanism.

The closing days of June bring to us our annual quota of graduates from our various institutions of various grades and classes. Regardless of the curricula taught, each institution is the "best school" in the country, in the estimation of its respective alumni. And this is the proper spirit.
We wonder, as these thousands of eager ones, young, strong and hopeful, step upon the great campus of life to play their respective parts, whether they have been told, by their professors and teachers, what a tedious road lies before the man or woman who seeks to find his or her way UP. The way UP is long and hard. The world is a place so different from the school pictures painted by our teachers and the visiting orators. More and more, the way UP is becoming uniformly hard and long,—for all alike.
The time was when the Colored youth was ushered into the world to "aid his struggling people." The youth of today finds that not only his people must struggle, but all the world about him is a grand struggle,—UPWARD. The way DOWN-WARD is still as easy as when honest men were sought with a lantern. No longer is the race one for the men and women-of color. The race is an open contest for all men and women alike.
Perhaps the Colored youth encounters a greater handicap. He must carry the load of prejudice, race hatred and oppression. But his white brother has to carry his load, not very unlike that of the Colored fellow citizen. The white youth starts out with his load of conceit, self importance, superiority and preference. Before he is very far up life's rugged road he finds other men his equals, just as important, not a whit inferior, and no more a preference in God's sight than himself. If success is to be reached,—and it awaits us some distance up the hill—we must rid ourselves of the handicaps, as far as possible, and set out to accomplish, and achieve all that his offers to those who are willing to toil. Not my brother's career is for me; but mine alone quite engages me. Not what others say, but what may I do. Not the impressions others have made, but what impressions may I make. These are the mile posts between the beginner and the coveted temple of SUCCESS. Diplomas are but certificates which entitle us to enter the race. They guarantee us no place in the running whatever.
The long, hard way lies before us; and there are no detours.
Of course, it will be a happy day when a President of the United States sees fit to honor some worthy Negro citizen with a place of recognition for glorious deeds of black Americans in American wars. We suppose this country is afraid the world will misconstrue such recognition, and for that reason it is not granted us. But we may be pardoned if we contemplate the joy that would be ours if this great country could rise, just once, to the dignity of the occasion and reward black men for the blood they give in battles they have no part in framing or provoking. From Bunker Hill to Metz, the black soldier has made the supreme sacrifice. Always he has answered roll call, or the draft. He has the distinction of fighting for a chance to fight.
But since we are not worthy of a suitable expression of recognition for the sacrifices we have made, we do borrow some consolation from the fact that men like Senator Reed and Sheriff Woodside have been chosen on the Commission to erect monuments to American battles.
Somewhere in France, on some spot where black men fell, we are certain the two Pennsylvanians will stop and say: Let us build here a monument to the black boys of America. We hope to see such a shaft rise upon the soil of the nations we fought to save.
We suppose one of the party planks next year will be something about the Negro personnel of the force at the Tuskegee Hospital. Some Negroes would fall for it.

ELAINE RIOTERS FREED
RY ORDER OF ARK COURT
(Continued:From Page 1)
citation, appeared before the United States Supreme Court in a final plea for justice.
In his speech, Attorney Storey charged that the sixteen men had been practically "railroaded" to the electric chair. The counts of Arkansas and the Rotary Club, American Legion and other organizations were included in the startling revelations. Storey, declared in his brief that torture of the most vicious nature was employed to make the prisoner dominate their trial, which is alleged to have taken place in less than an hour. At that time, he declared that he had "distinct evidence" that 200 or 500 alleged to have been killed during the rioting, that the citizen Helena "were determined that these men should be convicted," and that "they manufactured the evidence for the purpose."
The sixteen men for whom Storey pleaded at that time were first sentenced to death, following alleged participation in rioting, when it is said white farmers tried to place Colored workers in a state of bondage and peonage.
It was contended at the trial in behalf of the accused Colored men that they had assembled in their church at Hoop Spur, in Phillips County, October 1, 1919, to devise means as tenant farmers to relieve the church of all debts which they asserted amounted to peonage. While so as assembled, the men claimed that armed whites surrounded the church and fired upon them, killing a number. They marked the beginning of one of the fiercest race riots in the history of the country. For days, armed poses of men of both races hunted each other as one would hunt an animal. Scores-were killed in the outburst, and an officer was objected to the brutal torture and suffered untold indignities. On behalf of the State, it was asserted that the condemned men had assembled in connection with a plot to kill men, and that the firing was done by a posse sent to quell the riot.
Decision Marks Real Triumph
The decision of the Arkansas Supreme Court marks a real triumph, not only for the organizations which oppose it, but surprisingly, for the entire race.
The petition was based on a statute which provides that unless a date for trial is set by the court within two terms from the indictment, the defendants are entitled to discretion.
The attorneys for the men contended that their cases had been pending for two terms, and that, although they had filed motions in each term to have the day set for trial, the court had not set the day against them; they were, consequently, entitled to dismiss under the statute.

The fire was returned by some of those in the mob. The 3 o'clock the streets were quiet. Later in the morning Mayor Seabrooks got in touch with Governor Hardwick and expressed fear of another outbreak.

The Billboard maintains a free service for conventions, and it is to be regretted that the secretaries and other officials of the various Negro bodies do not avail themselves of this service by informing that public members of the office should attend the dates selected. The Editors have been obliged to go to considerable trouble to ascertain the dates for our affairs, and usually when they are obtained it is too late for publication. One prominent Race organization that has frequently requested and received such information from the public advises the date of the coming meeting of the body, reported as being set for Kansas City.
Deserted Wife Seeks
Parole, for Husband
Who, Was Unfaithful
William Shakespeare once said "the course of true love never did run smooth." Time has proven the truth of those words. It is equally certain that true love remains unshaken no matter how rough the going.
Monday, a quietly dressed woman called at the executive department. She said she wanted to see the governor. In the course of time she did what she wanted to have her husband paroled. It developed the man in the case deserted her; that later he married another woman without observing the necessary formality of obtaining a marriage from her. No. 1 wanted some time later, man was convicted of bigamy and given a prison sentence. Soon thereafter, wife No. 2 divorced him. No. wife No. 1 wants him set free. The course of true love may not always fine and strong and amoral. Of all the things on earth, true love more nearly approaches, perhaps, the divine.
CHAMBER'S REVIEW
Frolic Theater, Birmingham, Ala., June 4, Evening Performance, Andrew Bishop Presents the Famous Lafayette Players. With the elimination of the congregational type of Colored shows playing this city, this company of artistists will house this for the week, offering "What a Young Girl Should Know" and "Over the Hill to the Poorhouse." The cast included Andrew Bishop, J. Lawrence Criner, William Babe) Townsend, A. B. Comathere, Walter Robinson, Harry Plater, Edward Thompson, Frances Wood, Shinzie Howard, Isabelle Jones and Cloe Desmond, who proved that Colored talent can be found. Monday's performance was a treat to the better class of the theatergoers who would not ordinarily have been there. But the regulars showed that the patrons as a whole enjoyed an evening, entertainment of this galerier, the impression left is that the city presents drama, but prefers musical演出 or vaudeville acts. However, the attendance increased each day.
During the performance "Babe" Townsend made an announcement commenting favorably on their show, and fighting smut, suggestiveness and vulgarity so much that the without distinction he condemned tabs and minstrels, which caused a majority of the patrons to become offended, since they have respect for some shows that have played here, for there have been quite a fewLEAN shows here that have left favorable mission and are a credit to the race. "Over the Hill to the Poorhouse" was the best of their offerings, pulling a bigger house than the former act. Poor advertising was the cause of a falling off of the first half's attestation, as displayed few pictures together with slides were the only advance billing for this high-priced show, causing a difference in the box-office. The members of the company were nice lookers, and ladies and gentlemen on and off, and were all apparently aware of the people of this city. The show was great, well staged and carried their own special sceneries.

thus to all intents and purposes forgiven the her hand, Mr. Dyer, its author, is touring the convention of the nation to the imperative demand if there is any clearly differentiated method of aid with the Negro, it is to be found in his animation and persistence. Now is the time of all us upon whatever legislative relief the race is written, and it is now written, it is too late to inject special design consideration of our special grievances. The self with the formulation of some plan of manliness, the next Congress will only devise which are demanded by the people. The presiding. The administration will be over-analyzed, the Negro regime he should formulate it now. The proceedings proceed at once to have a suitable meet at the opening of the next Congress. Whatever should be brought to bear upon the political his suffrage. The American Bar Association hate a measure enabling the federal governess to legal body such and doubtless frame an argument against such institutions.

THE Negro has to intents and purposes forgiven the Dyer on the other hand, Mr. Dyer, its author, is touring the coming the attention of the nation to the imperative demand moral measure. If there is any clearly differentiated method of the man as compared with the Negro, it is to be found in his domitable determination and persistence. Now is the time of all the Negro to focus upon whatever legislative relief the race may seek next Congress. After the issues have been set platform has been written to it in our expect favorable consideration of our special grievances. The nation should busy itself with the formulation of some plan of nation and control of lawlessness. The next Congress will only devise those measures which are demanded by the people. The president will be impending. The administration will be overseeing its stewardship to the American people. If the Negro expects its advantage, he should formulate it now. I suggest that rights organizations proceed at once to have a suitable measure and presented at the opening of the next Congress. Whatever it can command should be brought to bear upon the political situation for his suffrage. The American Bar Association should for his suffrage a federal law with lawlessness. This legal body could and doubtless would and willing to frame such a measure that would stand the stitutional objections. We should not sleep upon our rights and, as usual, wake only when it is too late. Let us rather Mr. Dyer and take time by the forelock.
The Negro in New England
Boston last week. Boston is New England. Boston, so far as the Negro is concerned, is a set address on the Negro Sanhedrin, with a delightful group that was giving graduates and students of Harvard, Boston, England Conservatory of Music and Art. Hon. William H. Lewis, ex-Assistant, was the orator of the occasion. His usual high standard of eloquence, with way, Mr. Lewis is recognized as being of New England. He has found ample room on top. It was an inspiration to win young men and women gathered from yeas seeking knowledge and culture of the time. I could not but advise them that they would find useful expression mainly in art, but would become comparatively impatient quickened by the human motive and vital and enthusiasm. The situation of the Negro is a study and a puzzle. The old test anthropy is dying with the years. The ages, and are dead. Their descendants must instant respect for the deeds and devotion they have little interest in the Negro in Near our Lord Nineteen Twenty-Three. The equality still survive. Harvard was for lack of deference to its traditions rather contemporary attitude and feeling. Trottie League are fighting manfully for the mandations. Foreigners are flooding New England differentism. On the whole, the race remaining in the sphere of racial rights and numbers are increasing slowly.

WAS in Boston last week. Boston is New England as England is Boston, so far as the Negro is concerned delivering my set address on the Negro Sanhedrin. I vited to meet with a delightful group that was giving a tition to the graduates and students of Harvard. Boston, the New England Conservatory of Music and collegial institutions. Hon. William H. Lewis, ex-Assistant torney General, was the orator of the occasion. His was up to his usual high standard of eloquence with wisdom. By the way, Mr. Lewis is recognized as being one great lawyers of New England. He has found ample to his profession on top. It was an inspiration to win thirty or forty young men and women gathered from the country seeking knowledge and culture of the scholastic type. I could not but advise them that their attainments would find useful expression mainly in their own group, but would become comparatively important barren unless quickened by the human motive and missionary zeal and enthusiasm. The situation of the England Negro is a study and a puzzle. The old trait spirit of philanthropy is dying with the years. The able freed the slaves, and are dead. Their descendants must decent and distant respect for the deeds and devotion of ancestors. They have little interest in the Negro in Newland in the year of our Lord Nineteen Twenty-Three. The of traditional equality still survive. Harvard was forrest right decision out of deference to its traditions rather than dictates of contemporary attitude and feeling. Trotters Equal Rights League are fighting manfully for the main of the old foundations. Foreigners are flooding New York with moral indifferentism. On the whole, the race is rather than gaining in the sphere of racial rights and relation. The numbers are increasing slowly. There are enough Negroes to sustain a highly functioning life on own, while there is a lessening disposition on the part whites to have them amalgamate with the general life community. There are no Negroes in business who move up to Lee and Lewis of a generation ago.
The ordinary workingman is scarcely more than his own. The professional men are doing well. There is a fine spirit of social service on the part of a number of women and worthy men. Associated business enterprises making a commendable beginning. The race problem now is as evident in Boston as it is in Baltimore. It merely on a different mode of manifestation. The Negro is the face to face with himself and his problems in all phases and actions of the country. The Negro in New England, like the gro in Mississippi, must keep constantly on the alert to from losing out. The Negro problem is one with other local actions, and the Negro must understand and deal with it.
The Tuskegee Hospital
of the medical department of the Army has decided for a colored-personnel. The colored race has not yet had the opportunity to treat treatment in tuberculosis and nonsurgical qualified experts are unwilling to leave the field in the far South. The proposition has been trying to specify a time when the colored person or name well qualified candidates for special training a course of training in government back cover which may now obtain. If can be qualified in a few months. Possess... It will be much more difficult to replace a man to install a colored staff from the beginning of the World War with a bad case of grief people. If the Tuskegee Hospital is taken from an impuplication of the whites, it would merely so disappointment.
It appears that the medical department of the Army has selected Dent Harding's decision for a colored-personnel. The claim advanced that the colored race has not yet had the opportunity to experts in hospital treatment in tuberculosis and nervous eral of our best qualified experts are unwilling to leave their berths for the field in the far South. The proposition has been to President Harding to specify a time when the colored persons be installed, and to name well qualified candidates for special place them under a course of training in government office, the lack of expertise which may now obtain. In the full colored staff can be qualified in a few months. Points of the law. It is to be much more difficult to replace a whale once installed, than to instill colored staff from the beginning. I gro came out of the World War with a bad case of prionias of the American people. If the Tuskegee Hospital is taken from the given to the manipulation of the whites, it would merely scare climax of their disappointment.

The result of this journalistic excursion to the Treasury Department, when he talked with Colonel Clifford and Miss Heffner, Dr. White's secretary, (Dr. White being out of town), was that there was little they could do in the matter of staffing the hospital, since their powers in particular had been transferred by the Veteran Bureau. Colonel Clifford on this day, made if clear that, but the President of the United States could effectively direct or control the tensions of the officials of the Bureau. All of which information, Chisum immediately transferred to Dr. Moton at Tuskegee.

We have the close-up on the scheme of the conspirators who have thus far defeated the ends and purposes of President Harding), discloses a fixed purpose and most skillfully designed scheme to prevent Negro practitioners functioning in this hospital as long as there is Government hospitalization.
We say without the slightest doubt of successful contradiction that there has not been one jot of sincerity on the part of the Civil-Service Commission to qualify our own men and women for this work, but on the contrary every subterfuge, scheme and trick known to the tight-knit oped bureau of discriminators have been employed to preclude persons qualifying for the bureaus, the bullets and other signs have deceived The Gov. yet.
The part played by the subordinate officials of the Civil Service Commission of the Fifth District has done much to help prove the case as we
There has been a great deal said as to the difficulty in finding experts in certain diseases to be treated at the hospital. Observations covering a period of eleven months prove that there are very few honest-to-godness specialists among the white men now serving in the Veterans' Hospitals. It is an undeniable fact that the so-called psychiatric specialists and others now serving in the Bureau learned all they know about the business during the World War. The colored doctors who enlisted in the army and went over seas were quite the equals and in many cases, infinitely superior to the white men who went into this branch of the service, and have quite as much knowledge of the work as men now serving. The great hue and cry which have been used by the conspirators in their plotting to keep colored out, have been calculated to deceive the public as to the efficiency of the black man, and also lead them to believe that great success such as are the Mayo brothers are now serving in the veterans' Bureau. The fact is, with a few notable exceptions, the men in the Veterans' Bureau, are young white fellows, the majority of them southerners, who have but mediocre ability as little humanity in this as would be expected to be found in a Hatterston doctor from the Aborigines.
Finally, if an executive order can be issued to take physicians out of the Public Health Service and place them in the Veterans' Bureau, then the same thing can be done by President Harding to place colored physicians and surgeons in charge of the work at Tuskegee Hospital; and if they ever get there, this is the only way they will be placed. A blank form now used by the Veterans' Bureau serves on which the white doctors serving in the Department have placed certain answers and signatures. This is the only examination required who are in this branch of the service.
The application blanks, a form provided by the Hospitalization Committee of the Treasury Department which doctors and nurses applying for places here fill out, has been construed by the officers of the Government to be a technical test and the only examination necessary to be given the white doctors and no other method has been employed to qualify them. The central office files of the Veterans' Bureau will bear out this fact.

"The medical department, especially, the hospital is a shame. A man can enter there but will receive no treatment from the doctor. The blood tests are taken by the inmates and the doctor writes a letter to-day, it will not leave here for a week or ten days." One sends in this bit of poetry:
"The sanitary conditions are such that existed in 1880. We must continually endure the foul fumes that come from the toilet drainage because there is no trap to check it. While confined in a space of 8 x 5 feet we must breathe into our lungs for twenty two hours each day poisonous gases from these toilets. The inside of the toilets are flaky with germs. At night we must flap with our feet on the toilet seat or our heads on the given newspapers for our purposes, which often clog the pipes. We spend restless nights due to bed bugs which are in every cell.
"It's tough to be within a space of eight by five feet wide,
Where we must either stay in bed or sit without a stride.
And all because a system rules that we should stay in pent
For twenty-two long hours we must each day be content;

informed them of the source of their information that Garvey was taking the Negro people. But given this cue by Marcus himself, the Post Office Inspector went direct to a newsstand after leaving Garvey's office and bought a copy of the Crusader. Later that same day, impressed by the articles in The Crusader, he visited the office of that publication where he bought several back numbers carrying articles on Garvey and the Black Star Line. He tried to get additional information from the editors, but was told that he would find all the facts in their possession in the columns of the two publications: the Crusader and the Emancipator.
Garvey to "go find out who owns the "Shadyside" which, following their documented exposure of his claims to ownership of the "Yarmouth" he held up to his followers as evidence that he did own something. However, those who had so effectively exposed his "Yarmouth" pretensions were not deterred by the fact that ownership of the "Shadyside". They investigated and discovered that Garvey at that time did not own even the rotten river steamboat "Shadyside" (appropriate name!)
These exposures won for Mr. Briggs and the others the bittes hatred of Marcus Garvey, and at one period of the fight when Marcus Garvey was so cornered and beheaded, he had insisted his paper, The Negro World, an advertisement to the effect that Mr. Briggs was a white man passing for colored. Mr. Briggs immediately brought action against him for criminal libel, and Marcus Garvey, faced with the alternative or retractions his lie or going against his statement that Mr. Briggs, a well-known Negro journalist, was a white man passing for colored.
Again, it was this group that ran down Marcus Garvey's claim that the Black Star Line possessed a steamship of ten thousand tons called the "Phyllis Wheatley" and sprang, through the Crusader Magazine and the Colored Press in general, the startling and spectacular exposure that the much-advertised ship was more real, a fragment of Garvey's voyage imagination and nothing more than a "ghost ship". At the time that this exposure was more tickets were being sold for passage to Africa and the West Indies on the "ghost ship" "Phyllis Wheatley" and the sale of Black Star stock was being pushed with the argument that the company owned such a vessel.
This action was shortly followed by one on the part of Marcus Garvey against Mr. Briggs for criminal libel, and the latter was indicted by a Grand Jury. This case has not been called as yet.
This trick was Garvey's undoing, Exposure of the non-existence of this widely-heralded vessel by the Crusader Magazine led to the filling of complaints with the Post Office and the Department of Justice by persons who had bought passage on the mythical ship or had invested their life-savings with Garvey on the strength of his ownership of a real vessel of that description and name.
Whether it was Garvey's flirtation with, and defence of the Ku Klux Klan, or his endorsement of the scheme of a Mississippi Senator to deport the race to Africa, or his praise of President Harding's infamous Birmingham speech; or his rendering of thanks to the white South for lynching Negroes, or any other of his numerous nonsensical and traitorous statement and acts, it was always Messrs Briggs and Smithing and James Wilson who led the association of Marxs Garvey and in the end roused a public opinion that would eventually have overwhelmed him even without the action of the Federal Government in sentencing him to prison.
An investigation followed. A post office inspector sent to interview Marcus Garvey was told that "this talk was all lies sent out by the Crusader Magazine". The Post Office and the office at time of the exposures carried on by the Crusader Magazine. Their complaints had not

Man, 62 Years
- Old, Held For
Wife Murder
_ MOUNT PLEASANT, Pa, June
£8—William I. Bray, aged 62 years,
was committed to the. county jail at
Greensburg last Friday “night,
charged with murder, following the
discovery of the badly mutilated
body of his wife, Mrs. Isabella Car-
ter Bray,.aged 68 years, in the Bray
home. The woman whose head had
been crushed by blows, had been
dead probably 50 hours before the
body was found. .
| Last Friday “morning Bray told
some of his friends that his wife
was seriously sick, In the afternoon
he told an acquaintance and friend
of the family that he thought that
his wife was dying. This man im-
mediately sent Dr. Horner to the
‘Bray home. When the physician ar-
rived he found the woman’s _ body.
Bray could not be found and the po-
lice began. a search.
Whe nthe police took Bray into
custody he told them that his wife
had been in an automobile accident
‘several days ago, but later he
changed his story, police say, and
‘said that there had been a disturb-
‘ance in the house and named sev-
eral persons who participated. Late
Friday night he again changed his
story and said that he and his wife
had quarreled on ‘Tuesday right and
that he had struck her on the head
with a hammer.

Church, Pittsburgh, and the pastor of Worshipful Mother Clarence Kittrell of Erie D. G. D. M. Thomas A. Brush of Pittsburgh and other Grand Lodge officers, all of whom made addresses. Services and headquarters were in the Charleroi High School Building and the contingent numbered into thousands, there being not only prominent colored Masons from this section present, but a representative number from a distance. It was probably the biggest day in Masonic Circles as they relate to the colored folk ever held in Charleroi (so much for the white press). On Monday, June 18, the grand master and wife, with other grand officers, attended a banquet at the Loandi Club, Fullerton street, Pittsburgh. Again numbered of the Seventh District were out, just as fresh and gay as the day before. The receiving line stood for an hour while the visitors passed. Mrs. Clarence C.

By the omission of the name of P. E. R. Council on the day of our annual sermon, it was an oversight on the part of the writer of this paper that he had been written especially for the Steel City Council No. 8. It commented the members of that organization for their department; use their military bearing along the lines of march, with their red fez. They made n fine showing and was applauded along the line.
I suppose those past exalted rangers were members of the council, felt out of place riding, when they heard the applause that was given to those who walked.
I am asking all lodges to send in names of their delegates to the various conventions for publication in this paper. We will place them so that they can be easily out and referred to later when we wish to know who the delegates are.

WASHINGTON, D. C., June 28—The Commencement Exercises of Dumbin High School on June 19th Britain and impression ceremony, Maine. Wrote a report of Washington ware in attendance. The principal, Professor Walter L. Smith, was the recipient of hearty congratulations on the evident results of his efficient administration of the great school of secondary instruction.
James Weldon Johnson, of New York, Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, was the principal of the school. He frequently pointed out to the graduates the part they are to play in the future of the Nation.
Mr. Johnson told the large graduating class their first debt is due the country and must be paid in the form of general service rendered as American citizens. The particular service which each must render, he declared, is one to their own race. Johnson declared, the Negro would have to be satisfied with a permanent secondary status.
"There is no middle ground," he declared, "You must rise to one or fall to the other."

Officers Kill Victim, Held on Murder Charge
Two Whitg Policemen
Held After Alleged Attack on Store Proprietor.
By W. Rollo Wilson
Halo Wilson
PHILADELPHIA, June 18, 2002
white police officer without bail and a third was paroled in the custody of his lieutenant by Magistrate Renshaw, after they had been arrested on a charge of homicide in connection with the death of George Shaw, proprietor of a cigar store, at Eighth and Buttonwood streets.
They were arrested on orders from Director Cortelyou, after he had investigated the charge that the man died in the Hahnamann Hospital as the result of a beating at the hands of the three policemen.
Patrolman Wesley Keeley, 444 Lemonte street, of the Manyunk station; and Patrolman George M. Jones, 5144 Kershaw street, of the Peach and Media streets station, were held without bail to await execution by Patrolman Edward Lancaster, 2327 North Cleveland avenue, of the Twenty-sixth and York streets station, was paroled in the custody of Lichtenant Lee. In charge of the vice squad.
The men arrested were assigned from their regular districts to the vice squad for quarantine duty in front of alleged disorderly houses.
The allied attack on Shaw occurred at 2:30 A. M., June 16th, but had been shrouded in suce hocsecrey that no report had been made of the encounter until Shaw died at 1 o'clock, June 23rd, in the hospital from a fractured skull.
Shaw had lapsed into unconsciousness soon after being taken to the hospital in a patrol of the Tenth and Buttonwood streets station, but before doing to told physicians the policemen had beaten him without cause. Police of the station were called, and such a case, and denied emphatically that such a man had been taken to the hospital despite the hospital record.
According to statements made by the accused men to Lieutenant Lee, head of the vice squad, Shaw's shop was not one of the places under the vice quarantine ordered by Mayor Moore.
The men-told Lee that they had entered the place to obtain cigarettes and during an altercation over payment were attacked by Shaw. According to Keeyle, Shaw acted like a burling the three patrol men to the street and beating them until they were compelled to use their clubs. Keeyle also exhibited a new loaded revolver, which he said he had found in Shaw's possession. He and the other men were bitten by Shaw, he said, and their uniforms tern.
