TURDAY, AUGUST 118, 1923. From 'Superman' To Man" (Copyright, Kelly Newspaper Feature Service) Author of "Blood-Money" and Other Stories SYNOPSIS Dixon, a World War veteran center on the California Limited reading reading. Finot's "Race He advised as" Southern Senator his "hine taste for books," that the races are not equal. Dixon, a World War veteran and College man—is a Pullman meter on the California Limited. He is spending his spare moments reading Finch's *Bare Freedice*, when he is interviewed a passenger in his hearspeaker. Lester he is驶到 a Southern Senator, also a passenger on the train, in "fine taste for books," and is forced to agree with him if the races are not equal.

Don't you just say you questioned the Senator for you misunderstood me, HE Senator looked up as if he had not been expecting a response, but seemingly pleased with Dixon's acquiescence as he turned the leaves: "Writers of this type don't what they are talking about. They write from mere. If they had to live among 'niggers' they would sing an une different tune." He felt that he ought not to let this remark go unchallenged. He protested courteously: "Yet, sir, M. Finot had proved arguments admirably. I am sure if you were to read his you would agree with him, too." "Didn't you just say you differed with the views in this questioned the Senator sharply. for you misunderstood me, al.

This thought deceived him. He would answer nothing at the same conversation with the topic of the and the question in the Bureau responded with that any divi- sion according to phy- logeny is merely nominal in the phi- logeny of human behavior to a rechange know, both there are agreed names came from scientists who have question tell us the Red Indian humanity becomes grate zone, while humanity becomes One summer's beaching beach is ever darker than the the skin of the same place under the blend- ing processes to produce natures each one and continu- ing and continu- ing processes have to classify human as you know, the greater sin- ces, the smaller of vague is evident, is it the creation of human- ity of skin, hair to be other than to be one of men- sity of humanity you know, Nature so, Nature is the individu- al. This idea has been ably expressed by Lamarck, who, in speaking of the human race, says, 'classifications are artificial, for nature had created neither classes, nor orders, nor familial or permanent species, but only individuals.' The Senator handed back the book to Dixon huffily, 'But you have not answered my question yet,' he insisted. 'I asked, do you believe the black race will ever attain the intellectual standard of the Caucasus?' 'Intellect, whether of civilized or uncivilized humanity as you know, sir, is elastic in quality. That is, the man, when transplanted to civilized or uncivilized, but sometimes excels some of those whose ancestors have had centuries of culture, and the child of civilized man when isolated among primitive becomes one himself. We would find that the difference between a people who had acquired say and a people who had cent culture and another who had been long civilized would be about the same as would exist between the individuals, in the long-civilized group. That is, the usual human differences would exist. To be accurate we would have to appraise each of the groups, and the sons between the groups would be inexact.' "But," reiterated the other, sarcastically, "you have not answered my question. Do you believe the will of God will answer the intellectual standard of the Caucasian? We or not?" "For the most authoritative answer," responded Dixon in the calm of the room. "We must look to modern science. If you don't mind, sir, I will give you some quotations from scientists of acknowledged authority, all of your own, and draw out his notebook." "Bah," said the other savagely, "opinions! Mere opinions! I asked you what you think and are telling me what someone else says. What I want to know is, what do you each of us," replied Dixon, evenly, "however learned, however independent, is compelled to seek the opinion of someone else on some particular subject at some time. There is the doctor and the other professionals, for instance, New York, which one usually places the most reliance on those one considers experts, is it not? This afternoon I overheard you quoting from one of Lincoln's debates with Douglas in order to prove your views." Since, Dixon opened his notebook. After finding the desired passage he said: "In 1911 most of the leading sociologists and anthropologists, of the world met in a Universal Races Congress in London. On the day that all the so-called races of men are essentially Gustav Spiller, its organizer and secretary, voiced the findings of that entire body of experts when, after a careful weighing of the question of superiority and inferiority, he were Dixon read from the notebook: "We are then under the necessity of concluding that an impartial investigator would be inclined to look upon the various important peoples of the world as, to and purposes, essentially equal in interest, enterprise, morality and wisdom." Dixon found another passage and said: "Finit, whose findings ought to/be regarded as more valuable than the expressions base their arguments on sentiment people may attain this distant frontier which the brains of the whites have reached." He also says, The conclusion, therefore, forces itself upon that there are no inferior races, but poor races, and people living outside or within the in- "The appearance of civilization and its evolution among certain white people and skin in a geographical context is only the effect of circumstance." "Zamhenho, in his paper before the Universal Races Congress, says the Africans, the Americans, sinking of rancor, oppression, a high and find their mental level will not differ from ours. Abolish the whole our civilization and the whole will sink to the bottom. An African culture is not a difference of mentality in the race, but a difference of instruction." Dixon closed his notebook and said, "The so-called varieties of manhood are the equal of the civeties in this case. There is latent within them the same possibilities of development.

Rogers HARDING FAMILY HAD PREMONITION OF TRAGEDY Those who are interested in psychic phenomena will find much food for speculation in the fact that several members of the Harding family seem to have been forewarned of impending tragedy. Dr. George T. Harding, Jr. brother of the late President, says that before the President started on his personal affairs he placed his personal affairs as though he had a premonition, that he would not return. There is reason to believe that Mr. Harding felt uncertain about the outcome of his trip. It is known that Mrs. Harding had the most definite misgivings as to her husband's and the ascribed President. She worried the keenest anxiety about his safety and has been quoted as saying, on the day of his election, that it was a "tragedy," the constant and exceptional care which Mrs. Harding constantly bestowed on her husband after his election was augmented by foreboding that he would never to finish his term of office. Dixon, apparently unmoved, responded: "He Continued Next Week." BETTER SPEAK NICE TO FRIEND WIFE Judge Rules It Better Illegal to "Cuss" Better Half. NEW YORK, N.

The vaulted personal liberty of Jerseytes has received a severe blow. It's getting so a man can't swear at his wife. The magistrate has ruled. Mr. Leahman is amazed. So is Mrs. Leahman. Mr. Leahman is in jail; Mrs. Leahman is in tears. The blow fell after Recorder Kinsley of the man had heard the testimony of Mr. Steven Obellich, a neighbor of the Leahmans: "He swore at me called me awful names, Mrs. Obellich testified."

THE PITTSBURGH COURIER PASSING THROUGH On her way to New York last week to sign contracts to appear with Sissle and Blake's original "Shuffle Alone," Miss Spencer looked out on the "Smoky City" and waved a fond adieu. She spent the summer with her relatives in Youngstown, Ohio. "How did you ever become a star on Broadway," she was once asked. "Via hard work," she replied. But she forgot to add that beauty and talent shared in the making. She is appearing this week at the Lafayette Theater, New York, with Irvin C Miller's "Sheik of Harlem." but I said 'em to my wife.' | tounding story the authorities "That's true, judge," Mrs. Leahman echoed. "He was just swearing at me all the time." He wanted to take the car out and she wouldn't give me the key—would you, mamma? So I naturally got mad. Mamma corroborated: "Honest, judge, I wouldn't give him the key. And he only got mad at me, and it was me he was swearing at me." "Hilarious," said Recorder Kirayu, "makes me different when I dressed.

BOSTON, May, 16.—Massachusetts for the first time in her history will try a child, less than thirteen years of age, for first degree murder. That fact was decided when the District Attorney's office declared that every proper means would be taken to send little Elizabeth Macdonald, white, to the elec- tric J. "Sonny" McDonald, white, four-year-old son of a well-known Suffolk street, Chelsea, family. Not for years has Massachusetts witnessed such an astounding case. It parallels that of the famous Jesse Pomery, as little Elizabeth boasts her fourth victim within a year. Almost at the same hour that the body of the little victim was being lowered into a grave at Glenwood Cemetery, Elizabeth was laughingly admitting to the Chelsea police that she had pushed the little fellow into the water in the what was Texas Oil Company on Marginal street, Chelsea. "I told him to jump through the hole," she explained. "He was frightened and didn't want to, so I grabbed him and pushed him through. He came up and grabbed the man and kicked his hands and with my foot pushed him down under the water." Immediately after hearing her as tounding story the authorities rounded up the four children who had witnessed the crime. Upon interview, she and her agent, Office Of Lawyer Ignarro, the three other occurrences along similar lines. During the course of a year Elizabeth had pushed three other victims into the water. When confronted with these accusations, she and her agent, their truth and furnished the gruesome details. Elizabeth was commanded to jail without bail, the case being continued. Despite the efforts made to transfer her to a hospital for observation, the Court held her for first degree murder, committing her to Charles street jail without bail, with the comment: "You are as sane as I and must stand trial for the terrible crime." In which Elizabeth took with a rather silly giggle. 198 Babies Born To Mothers of 15 Years Or Under Authorities place the child-bearing period from 15 to 45 and state that women do not reach sufficient maturity to enter this period without endangering their health. There were 198 children born to mothers 15 years of age or under in 1922, according to the records of the State Bureau of Vital Statistics. These records show 159 mothers 14 years old; 36 at 13 years, and 100 at 8 years. Of the mothers that gave their ages as 60; five as 51; three as 52; two as 53; three as 54; three as 55; one as 58; three as 59, and one as 60 years of age. Of the 69,615 children born in 1922, 36,929, or 3 per cent, were born to mothers between 2 and 8 years. Ages 26 per cent to mothers between 30 and 40, and 4.5 per cent to mothers over 40 years of age. The records of births show 158 Negro mothers were 15 years or less; 5,561 between 15 and 20. Of the white children 65.9 were born between 15 and 20. The records indicate that 73.8 per cent of all coloured mothers were under 25. DO YOUR BEST FRIENDS KNOW YOU AS A POSER? When Your Husband's Friend Showers You With Flattery, Aze You Really Surprised or Do You Affect That Indifferent Attitude So Common Among Women of the Present Generation? Perhaps calculate is a cold word, but do you study effects? Do you see yourself as a character in a book? To be sure we all are good little posers in the beginning. We mimic we mock and we pretend. We effect whatever ways and whims we can discover in grown-ups. Then one day these affectations are our own for good. We imitate and finally we become. "We grow by posing," says the golden-haired author of the cynical tale. "We pretend this and that. We pose for our own entertainment and for the entertainment of others. We pose for our own edification and for the civilization of others." And is this not true? But where does there come an end of posing and when does the pose become a real part of our real selves? Posing may have a certain value to others, but only that part of ourselves which is real can mean anything vital to our own selves. For instance you pose as a martyr. This has its effect on others and it entertains yourself for an amuse. But unless you are a martyr at heart the situation of others can be more valuable after a time. You will cast it off perhaps and make yourself despaired and ridiculous or you will continue to wear it and break yourself nervously, just as Marigold did. The world will probably take you at your pose because the world has nothing else to go by, but you have to take yourself at something more than a pose. If you do not then you are going to find that the earth is hollow and the golden ball is only a ballroom that the whimsy of any stray breeze can puncture. If watermelon just because your hostess has no other dessert surely the fates will sustain you with an added charm. But if you pose as loving a man who is giving you sincerely of whatever he may have left of his own heart, it is perhaps another matter. Is it not perhaps true? A peacock poses and it is a fine sight to see. One will go miles and pay strange fees in francs, in kronen, in lire, in shillings, and in cents to see the peacock's pose. And we spend an amount of admiration on this bird of dignified poses. A peacock of the secret of the secret of it. Peachs in our unwritten code of what is what we recognize a place for dignified posing. It is true that undigified posing does not sit well on the shoulders of anyone who whomsoever. It Took a Fulcrutor to Revive Monroe's-Histress NEW YORK CITY, N. Y., Aug. 16 —Jimmy, a young monkey "willed" to Sutton, twenty-eight, a colored mule in the boarding house of Mrs. Mary Ryan, at No. 64 Riverside Drive, yesterday afternoon, while his mis- sion was taking a map in her room in the basement, opened the jet of a gas stove. Instead of lying down to die when the room became filled with gas, he applauded the group and stuck his head to the ground, escaping the effects of the gas. Maurice D'Arvin, an actor, with the Canadian Motion Picture Company, was the director of the other, an actor with the Famous Players Company, traced the gas odor to Miss Sutton's room; and forced the door. They found Miss Sutton's room, and had to be sent for to revive her. But the monkey was in no wise affected. Writing: Yes, my dear Mimi, for the present I must declare myself contented with your refusal of my proposal, but if nothing better should turn up I still hope you'll accept me. Turquoise in Sea Wolf's Stomach MARSEILLES, France, Aug. 16. Jean Raners, a fisherman, caught a sea wolf and found an Oriental turquoise, weighing 59 grams, in the fish's stomach. The gem is perfect and is said to be worth $800. DO YOUR BEST KNOW YOU When Your Husband's Flattery, Are You Really That Indifferent Attitude Women of the Present C Are you a poser? Well, maybe you are one but do you calculate the effect you want? Perhaps calculate is a cold word see yourself as a character in a book but a best picture standing there with a brow unausily may be, in your hand, are you surprised? Has your mind preconditioned from an uncleor? When the letter carrier hands through the pile of bills and brings you a cup of coffee, saying she can not come Thursday yourself to her Wednesday time, but gray coated carrier to believe that romances lies within the flat-looking When in a cloak and gown she stands frantically that you only have the price shale is just a little bit off and lands and holdings? Are you a poser? Do you pretze like you to see yourself in a love s black because you yourself is a friend, because it seems to be drinking just whatever he can Are you a poser? Yourself, how much you do life interesting or do your sincerity? To be sure all are good life and because you can discover in grownnuts. Then or for good. We imitate and finally "We grow by posing," says the tale. "We pretend this and that, and for the entertainment of others for them." And is this not true? But where does there come an become a real part of our real selves to others, but only that part of our thing vital to our own selves. For instance you pose as a man it will become invisible. The role will become unbearable of haps and make yourself despised a wear it and break yourself nervous. The world will probably take has nothing to go by, but you more than a pose. If you do not earth is hollow and the golden ball of amnesia is missing. If you pose as liking to eat has no other dessert surely the fates Babies, Not Business, Obtain College Girls' Vote In Questionnaire Marriages Not to Play Second Fiddle to NEW YORK, Aug. 16.—By a big majority girls who were graduated from Howard, Wilborforce and Fiska demand their rights as wives and mothers. They have no intention of permitting marriage to play second fiddle to their parents, the androtes professors or commerce. They declare their intention of being old-fashioned on the subject of "Business or Babies." "Babies," they cry. "Career and marriage don't mix," declared a Howard 23. "When a man marries he usually wants a home in his own house in home working and careering. Men like the feeling of obligation, of protecting the women they love and to whom they have given their names. Then there is the question of children. If women are working outside the home they must either negate their rights or accept. No woman who is unwilling to have babies out to marry; any woman who farms out her children to hire help or to her relatives, by blood or by law, is not fit to be a mother... I think we read not long ago in a popular novel ("The Freedom") of a woman leaving the rearing of her children to professional servants and the hideous price she paid." "I know I shall let myself in for scorn when I go on record as being immovably and unalterably opposed to women working out of the home if there are children. I am happy to work with women and it is the declaration of a brand new A. B. from Fiske College. "Nor do I believe that a part time job is a whitewash. A woman itching for a career will manage to stretch office hours until they encroach upon home and the net worth of mother who is created with her children, snappish to her husband and whose reserve strength must be saved for work in the office. The process may be a slow one, but it is sure. "I always ask writing 'successful alumnus with great interest how they combined business with home and the invariable answer is. Oh my mind is on my work because can afford to hire trained servants to care for my children. I know I touch a sore spot because their sparkle dies." "I think it resolves itself into the question, 'How can a woman best serve the world—by rearing a female or prom or some other profession.' Personally I want for a household of healthy boys and girls, and any honors from the glory of achievement in outside affairs can go hang. "Flappers, hip flasks, parked cars cats and petting parties have been giving girls much newspaper publicity since I entered college, fond of only a temporary backpack and a know girls, at least those being graduated this year, the sedentic mirred," wrote a senior at Wilb- force. "No woman should allow herself to become so absorbed in the daily routine of home tasks that she can contend for herself, paly for the outside world. The woman who successfully leaves a home for herself, her husband and perhaps children, will find herself developing her mind as well as her bees. She don't refer to women who can't live alone, but a family must live out of pateboard cartons, tins and paper bags, but to the woman, a college, graduate, who is supposed to know about ca- nuses of foods, household sanitation and hygiene, honest-to-goodness fair play in the direction of the man she has married. "The married woman whose mental development is checked by gold band on the third finger of her left hand would have stopped thinking anyhow, marriage or no marriage. The woman who is on the third finger of her left hand would only with all the instruments of beauty and culture, but she is dealing with living, growing human beings giving back not just what is put into them, but a hundred fold more in return. To make the most of home one has use for all the ingenious devices she can acquire. To make the most of children, with their varied interests and possibilities, a mother must develop her mind to its greatest capacity. "I think the whole point is this. Is marriage in itself a bread and butter provided the woman has the brain to convert what are generally known as menial tasks into something worth while, into something holy. Another slant on this stay-at-home point of view is that of the husband. Many a man seems to think he needs a wife in leisure as his badge woman is a woman goes to work for the sake of having better and more finery, or if she prefers to work outside and have her despised household chores performed by somebody else, then she is a menace to womanhood, an interloper in the business world, an interloper in her husband's rear and a final word of praise for her children when they are old enough to understand. "If a woman works for the sake of helping her husband provide for the family in this day of sharp competition and sourcing cost of living then she is doing her part in institutions woman whose prices is far above rubies.

Harlem Cabaret Situation Beginning with a series of colored citizens, the license commissioner has granted a license to a "ConnieGaia" inn, cabaret in Harlem's Theatheo building. It is reported that "hooch" joints thrive in the quadrant bounded by St. Sylvester St and 122nd St and in the vienna.

Policeman Krause, who at the time was off duty, heard the shots as he was on his way to the station house. He came upon Wallace immediately after he had fired the third shot. Mrs. Wallace was still on her feet, and was screaming in while her enraged husband was again directing the gun at her head. Krause led at Wallace, and the Negro turned only upon the officer and emptied his gun at him, none of the bullets taking effect. Krause drew his automatic and let Wallace have it in the shoulder and leg, causing him to drop his weapon and fall to the pavement. Mean time, the wife had collapsed and neighbors, aroused by the shooting, had summoned aid from the station house. Wallace and his wife were rushed to St. Joseph's Hospital, where doctors operated immediately in an effort to save her life. They say her condition is critical, and do not expect her to recover. Wallace was not seriously injured, merely being rendered helpless. This is the third altercation between Negroes and whites in this neighborhood in the last eight days, and eight persons have been taken to the hospital with minor wounds. White Rioters (?) In Philadelphia Are Not Arrested According to the ninthponent Department of Public Safety all the racial brawls which are of too frequent occurrence lately are caused by our group and not by white people, as these excerpts from Monday's police records are made to show: Race rioting in South Philadelphia broke out again at Third and Federal streets, when Chalmers McDowell, of Oxford street is said to have told Joseph Pine, of 1232 Moyamensing avenue, a white man, that he wasn't wanted in that neighborhood and struck Pine on the jaw. Instantly white men rushed to his assistance. McDowell drew a gun and when the crowd increased he fired shots in the air, held the men at bay and boarded a trolley car, fireing another shot through the window and throwing his gun away. The motorman brought his car to stop and threw open the door to let a policeman get McDowell, who jumped out of a window and started to run. The crowd, then five times as large, made after them, catching him at Seventh and Kimball streets. He was protected by a patrolman and arrested on charges of inciting to riot, carrying concealed weapons, and firing shots wan'tonly. George Jones, of Bainbridge St., near Twelfth, was arrested by Motorcycle Police Against Leo, of the Seventh district, after a chase in which several shots were exchanged between Jones and the policeman. The prisoner was charged with inciting to riot some men who engaged in a fight with white men near Third and Bainbridge streets. The combatants fled at the appearance of the policeman, who pursued Jones, who is an alleged leader Philadelphia HOTEL ATTUCKS Refined Entertainment Grill Room Inner Parties and Banquets Service Ala Carte G Water in Each Room Eddick, Prop.

Thieves Use Gag On Aged Woman Thieves Use Gag On Aged Woman Ella Davis, 63 years old, who conducts a boarding and rooming house at 727 South Sixteenth street, was chloroformed and bound and gagged in the dining room of her home by three white men, and robbed of $1,000 in currency and a check for $51.25. She was found unconscious on the floor in the dining room thirty minutes later by her daughter, Mabel Hassell, of 1541 Kater street. The daughter removed the gag and revived her. Dr. E. G. Kenovese treated her. Mrs. Davis said that one of the three white men entered the house shortly before no oclock and asked her for coffee. She in the hall served meals, and she allowed the man to sit in the kitchen. Two others joined him and the three attacked here. She was choked into submission after a struggle during which a rag satured with chloroform was pressed against her nostrils. She was dragged into the dining room and a money bag at her waist was snatched away. She said that she had prepared to pay a large bill today, and to make a payment on the installation of a new heating system, or the money would have been paid to the owner of a number of houses. Louis Volde, a Porto Rican, was asleep in a room upstairs during the attack. Her son Billy, six years old, was playing in the street near by. Benj. Butts Dies Benjamin F.

Programs in various departments to be announced soon. New dormitories ready in early fall. With the closing of the boys' camp at Bordentown and the return of many of the employed staff from the annual vacations, the plans for the coming season's activities at the Southwest M. C. A. are being filled the next day, a dorm room some of the work. The new additions to the dormitory space for young men are rapidly nearing completion and will be occupied in time to take care of the return of the students in attendance at the schools of the city, who have been out of the city during the vacation season. The physical department will increase the schedule of work attempted for men and boys, as well as for women and girls. The volley ball teams have been at work for most of the summer time for the basket ball season to begin. The season for this sport promises to be one of the most lively in the history of the city, and already many new teams have been formed. The program of educational work will be announced in the very near future and several new and interesting courses are in prospect. It is the desire of the officials in charge of this department to make this a very practical addition to the school facilities of the city and to offer THE PITTSBURGH COURIER such courses that can not be given in a satisfactory manner elsewhere. The prospectus will soon be mailed to the members and friends of the association. Plans to take care of any group in any subject will be made on request and those interested in any particular type of instructive should consult with the secretary before the final schedule is completed.

Colored C Interest Receive Real Recognition in of Organization—Harva His People on Civil Servi Three Members for All Population. Colored Citizens of New York Put Interest Above Any Political Receive Real Recognition in City's Government Because of Organization-Harvard Honor Student Represents His People on Civil Service Commission Composed of Three Members for All of New York's 6,000,000 Population. By Edgar G. Brown a year was considered enough for the 150,000 colored tax payers as NEW YORK CITY, Aug. 16. The Colored Citizens and Voters of New York City have demonstrated to a greater degree than those of any other American city the power and influence of their suffrage when properly exercised. The taxpayers of little old New York are not the chattel of the Republican Party. When Honorable Ferdinand Q. Morton graduated from Harvard after winning debate after debate against the country's best minds by showing the intrinsic and fundamental advantages of the people or Democratic Party over the selfish money interests and the only principles of the Republican Party, he came to Harlem, and despite the then prevalent idea that the Republican Party was the ship, all else the sea, young Morton started out to educate his people. Let the scoffers and skeptics who constantly repeat "What is the use" and "it can't be done" take a new lease on life and catch the vision of that same so-called impossible upstart from Cambridge today he enters his private offices in the City Hall of New York, the largest municipal city in the world, and sits down with three other commissioners to pass on the positions of over 20,000 city employees. From Commissioner Ferdinand Q. Morton's office the writer was escorted over to the office of Mayor John F. Hylan, the chief executive of more people than live in the whole state of Texas, and gained an immediate audience with a man whose duties are possibly more exacting than that of the President of the United States. The Mayor of New York has six secretaries to attend to the many people having business which they think he should approve, and if you think it easy to see him in person call some time at Brooklyn Bridge, usually about the best one can do is to enjoy a pleasant chat with the rather tactful, amiable but firm uniformed attendant in the outer office, who will finally suggest, "The Mayor is in conference at present, I think. Mr. Sound-So, his special secretary, would probably be able to take care of you." But I was escorted into the private sanctum sanctorum by a messenger from Commissioner Morton's office—I was to see Mayor Hylan because it was Mr. Morton's request and back of that request was the tens of thousands of independent and intelligent colored voters, who have entrusted the Harvard scholar is their personal representative and leader. The colored citizens of New York are careful to place their confidence in astute and well-trained leaders of their race and as a result today over $2,000,000 is received annually by colored employees of New York City, while under Republican domination only a few years ago $40,000 "Everybody DANIEL WINTERS (Political Ad) REPUBLICAN "Everybody's Friend" Trained — Tried Efficient — True A Regular Republican Candidate for COUNCIL Your influence and sup- port respectfully solicited Primaries Tuesday, September 18th DANIEL WINTERS (Political Advertisement) for CLERK OF COURTS OF ALLEGHENY COUNTY EXPERIENCE.

FOURTEEN a year was considered enough for the 150,000 colored tax payers, as one Republican Boss said, "I know the colored people better than I do my people. You could not drive them out of the Republican Party." Poor, misguided dupe, for today the Republican Party of New York sadly reflects, "but look what a hole we are in." Not only has New York City a democratic independent Mayor, but a fearless champion of the people's rights and genuine 100% and true Jeffersonian Democrat in Governor Al Smith, who presides over the State Capitol in Albany, with a huge Democratic majority in the Assembly. Mayor John F. Hylan, of New York City, promised me he would set forth in a letter his views on the most feasible way of abolishing lynching and would comment on the Governor's conference plan as advocated by Hon. Wm. Cabell Bruce, Junior Senator of Maryland, who has been the first United States Senator to publicly declare himself and suggest a comprehensive program, and he is not a Republican "friend of the race" either, and he has never made a bid for the Negro vote in Maryland and is not now seeking office. Friends like Lincoln Providence alone declares. Colored America Generally Ignored At Harding Funeral Race Overlooks Rebuffs and Pays Respect in Flowers and Telegrams. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 16.—(By A. N. P.) In the military division of the great funeral parade of the President, there was a sad deficiency of representation for Colored America. There were a few scattered representatives, but no regular military bodies. In the civic division there was a committee of prominent citizens, including Dr. Emmett J. Scott, John R. Hawkins and others; and representatives from the Masonic, Knights of Pythias, Elks and other fraternal orders. Colored America, reviewing the funeral parade of President Harding, could but recall the very recent tribute paid to the remains of Colonel Charles Young as the procession had moved slowly along the same Pennsylvania avenue, to Arlington Cemetery. Each was a nation's hero, each was honored by tens of thousands, and each was from Ohio, giving his life for his dy's Friend" Trained — Tried Efficient — True A Regular Republican Candidate for COUNCIL Your influence and sup- port respectfully solicited Primaries Tuesday, September 18th (Advertisement).

Despite the sharing of the national grief, it was an assemblage that will long be remembered. More than five thousand members were in the city with as many more members of their respective families and admirers of the Order. In the different groups were a lot of show folks. The big parade on Wednesday disclosed many of the great musicians of the race. Dozens of patrols and marching clubs participated, each with its band. The "Lite-way" with its Oasis that was created on Vermont St., between Indiana and West Streets was an electric lighted stroll that would have cheered the heart of any old veteran showman of the school now disappearing. On the "Lite-way", Egyptian costumed daughters of the Nobles of Persian Temple operated every known device for amusingly extracting the special coin of their realm from the visitors who had been provide with full pockets of it when they registered their entry on this Caris. Harry W. Lewis, the Atlantic City decorator had the contract for the decorations, and with the funds elocted for the purpose accomplished a very satisfactory job. He had participated in the work at a similar convention in Washington recently, and goes from here to fix up Mason City, and Superior, its, for the American League, Billboard bumped into him at General headquarters offices where he was screened Henry Schwartz the New York Novelty man who had the souvenir concession. He had a dozen men with four stands on the "Lite-way" and he had a nice line of special goods. Professor Blue of the Blue and Haskell Music School of St. Louis was in charge of the Medinah Triple band that led the patrol from that city. Lockwood Lewis of Louisville functioned in a similar capacity with the Louisville band. Both are ex-minstrel troupers. Billy King, President of the Deacons Club of Masonic profession was much in evidence with his big McFarland car. He with "The Page" from the Billboard, Editor J. A. Jackson who is secretary of the club constituted a committee that presented Ceasar R. Blake, Jr. Imperial Pote entate of the Shriners with an angry attitude the membership in the Deacons.

LOVER BEING HELD IN DEATH OF CABARET QUEEN on writs of habeas corpus, but all such efforts have been unsuccessful. Several months ago, following a conference between Prosecutor Repetto, Assistant Prosecutor Hinkle and County Judge Smathers, Shaw was released on bail and promised to remain in the city to appear when wanted. Prosecutor Rapetto declared that the man has been continually shadowed by the resort police and private operatives since his release. Evidence secured in this manner, he stated, caused the rearrest of Shaw. At the time of the murder, Miss Woody was employed as a mail carrier in the city. Shaw was a musician and entertainer and was in love with the "Cabaret Queen." It is said that he openly took exception to the attentions, she received from white THE PITTSBURGH COURIER ```markdown ``` admirers, and reprimanded her several times because of her conduct in the cabaret. There is much conjecture as to the evidence the authorities hold against the Woody girl. There is rumor to the effect that she was paid to do the job, while others said she was jealous. The Garrison girl was very popular and dressed very expensively, wearing several handsome diamonds and other jewels. For several weeks officials of the prosecutor's office have been quietly conducting an investigation into the circumstance surrounding the case. Nearly a score of persons were grilled and it is believed that the evidence on the case of the Jury are based on the evidence unearthed by the investigation conducted under the direction of Prosecutor Repetto.

For the first title, said Dr. Jones, in many months, I am happy and ready to put my shoulder to the wheel for a completed Central. My people feel as proud as I do, and we have a great deal to be proud of, and thankful for. Next Sunday will seem like a new age to us at Central.

Gibson First Race Candidate for Philadelphia Council. By Edgar G. Brown PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Aug. 16.—Following the announcement that Powell Evans, millionaire manufacturer, would run in opposition to the boss picked candidate of the Republican machine for Mayor of the Quaker City, came the good news that John T. Gibson, millionaire colored theatrical magnate would be the candidate of the decent, law-abiding forces against the special privileged hat in hand political underlings of the present white councilman, Charley Hall, who boasts that he carries his district's vote around in his vest pocket and that regardless who runs against him, that he will win, hands down. But certain wise ones say that John T. Gibson is a clever fighter and has never yet lost a battle. When others tried to beat him in his business game, he put them in the business and the generally took over the race. So his fellow citizens from ruin. It is hard to beat a big-hearted, red-blooded champion of the colored people's rights, who understands big business and does not have to beg anyone for the financial wherewithal. Mr. Gibson, in accepting the invitation to run last Sunday at his country home, thanked his many friends present representing the louges, churches and civic organizations, and emphatically declared, "I am perfectly willing to make a great personal sacrifice for the interests of the race, and I earnestly follow the rules of the Council in the council who understand business methods; the colored people have too long been without representation in this important office. I have always studiously served the people of Philadelphia and if the people wish me to represent them in the Council, I will make the race." John T. Gibson is known all over Philadelphia as John T., as he rolls by in his Packard or Pierce Arrow. He rose from the people to success in ten years, because he believed ev- Care in.Selecting Immigrants Urged NEW YORK, Aug. 16—Careful selection of would be immigrants by American consular officers abroad, and their enrollment and surveillance for a period after they have been admitted to America, were urged by Secretary of Labor Davis to prevent the abolition of alienizing services.

CHICAGO, Ill., Aug. 16—According to all signs, indicating and expressions of opinion, a colored man will be elected to Congress from the First Illinois Congressional District, to represent the 120,000 people who reside in that district. Several able men have been mentioned as possible candidates, but the most absorbing topic of the day. Major Robert R. Jackson is being prominently mentioned as campaign manager. He is one of the shrewdest, most resourceful and ablest men in the country, and in addition to that, he is a fighter. The Tipper faction will have actual charge of the campaign. In 1918 Jako Tipper organized the colored people for William Hale Thompson for mayor through the vote. Thompson was 95 through 96 of the colored people. His skill as an organizer and his never quit-fitting tenacity will count tremendously in the battle to land a colored man in Congress. eat Orders D repeat orders for Strait- were received during our live business!
