Shocking Revelations of Hilarity and Licentiousness in "Black and Tan" Hotels Lead to Police Clean-Up Orders.
(Special to The Pittsburgh Courier)
CLEVELAND, O., Sept. 20.
Booze, dope, the mingling of all races in all sections of this city in the most despicable and unprintable of orgies!
This is the situation disclosed in an investigation into Cleveland's "black and tan" night life, which is being slowly wiped out in a relentless police war vice and immorality.
White girls are portrayed as selling their souls that colored slave masters might wax fat; American young women of both races are subdued and wished of foreign panders.
"Circuses," in which groups of girls and women staged grossly immoral performances for parties of men, many of them promiscuous in business and professional life, have been disclosed.
There are just a few of the obnoxious scenes: which are being revealed with a wealth of detail as the police, thoroughly, notwithstanding all moral demeany through the exposure by the Sunday Star head with every bit of the strategy and power they possess.
From A MARVEL LIFE
In the first part of the story, the police are in the midst of an investigation into the death of a woman from several salaries. By day are demure stammerers, stalked accountable, predeceased clerks, debts from families, socially prominent, males, witty men, martyrs, men of virtue, parvous men of deprivacy, to which there is seemingly no limit.
The Barbary coast is a mild and modest place compared to this "hotel." It is alleged that the manager herself is not above bartering her soul away to any "Dick Tom" or Harry."
Regardless of the habitue's vocation by day, the fair or dusky inhabitant or this den or immorality lets loose at night with every who she has in her, delving into the land of wicked dreams and idioticness.
A white girl, who wanted a room in this hotel, thinking that it was as advertised, gave a graphic word picture of some of the wild scenes heard and seen from the hotel, parades in the halls of the hotel, in which both girls and men were wont to walk the floors in a state of nudity. And the strangest part of the entire thing, acting as the "color line" is entirely wiped out in these places of iniquity. It is said that the girls who lure their willing victims are models of fashion and conduct and are born to be born. These girls of both races, with pretty imposted faces, play for high stakes.
Along Woodland Avenue, Scovill, Central, E. 40th Street, St. Clair Avenue, Payne Avenue, Super Avenue, and the last "colormobia" is even pronounced. The men and women of both races mingle in blaze disregard. White girls employed by colored slave women aster barter themselves to whatever happens along, their master or mistress, their establishment, their single eye and ex-colored palm to garner the pound of fish it is reported.
In some of the houses, however, on Prospect Avenue and Euclid Avenue, the women and girls are of "high class." They are snappy, dressed, exacting, especially for companions, but horribly indifferent to their conduct in the privacy of their bellish rooms.
Girls Stage "Eve" Dances
From Prospect avenue, the investigation leads to Payne avenue, in the very heart of the "black and tan" district. In one house, booze and cocaine form the chief article of trade, while rooms are provided as amorous retreats for visitors, some of the girls being more school children not more than fourteen or fifteen years old. The "star boy" is a hired man. The pianist, and it is said that he plays the instrument while some of the girls, ranging in age from sixteen to thirty dance: "Strip poker" sessions are quite the vogue. The players do in course, play for keeps, for the joys of life. The losers strip themselves of such wearable apparel as they have.

JOHNSTOWN, Pa., Sept. 19—Joseph Cauffel, self styled "Ivan the Terrible," arch persecutor, has been called to account for his infamous edict ordering the wholesale deportation of Negroes from this city. Mayor Cauffel, following the killing of two policemen, by Negroes, is credited with ordering all Negroes who have not been residents of Johnstown for seven years to leave immediately; commanding all Negroes coming to Johnstown to report to himself or the chief of police their business here, and denying to Negroes the right of assembly other than for worship.

Excitement and confusion was running over Morgan Street; early Friday morning, fray at 714 Morgan Street; brought a dozen police officers and dozens of neighbors to the street in answer to the frantic screams of women occupants of the house.

If the North Carolina Governor Pinchot, allows the mob to come into Pennsylvania, take an innocent man away and deliver him to the North Carolina officials, then the state does not afford safety, because the mob has been given a fine precedent for Governor Pinchot, to follow. They are Governor Allen of Kansas, Governor Grosback of Michigan and Governor McCall of Massachusetts. They are fused to seek the truth of the tradition, and they were commended and applauded for their stand.
History of McCoy Case
McCoy according to all available evidence is innocent of the crimes, and this fact is attested to because of the wagon, which was being drawn along the road by Beard's horse. The dead man was discovered when the wagon got to the edge of the road, where the principals in the traced lived.
The fire of excitement was quickly fanned into, a destructive, blaze when bloodbounds, put on the trail of the wagon, traced it back to the home of Ned Morgan, a colored man. Immediately, thoughts of lynching began. When Morgan's wife was questioned as to where her husband's abstention was located, they were informed that the gun had been loaned out to another to hunt rabbits.

That "Changing South"
Leading citizens are speaking of "the changing south." Much has been done in the cities of Mississippi and Alabama in improved sanitation of the colored sections and the disease and death rates have been greatly down typhoid and have made sections like the Yazoo delta hnbitated by whites.
In a ten mile tour from Memphis to mobile this writer has been accosted by only two mosquitoes, which tells the story. But as one drives through the colored sections he is impressed with the squator, even distinguished by sunshine. The cabins in the town average, seem by stack up well with the shacks of white farmers in many sections of the west, but in the cities one is impressed with the lack of ordinary improvements such as decently paved streets. Many white leaders say streets will be the next improvement and that, next to schools, pavement will help anchor the colored population.
Oppose "Jim Crowism"
Growing attention, too, is being paid to the complaints against "Jim Crowism." The races will always be segregated on the street cars and railroad trains, but some are now beginning to say that the Negro ought to be given the chance to the dirt and a decent coach to travel in, inasmuch as he pays the same fare as the white.
"We've got to keep the bulk of the Negroes," said one citizen. "The South is changing. The old slaves have about died out and one rarely nowadays sees the fine old type of Negroism is different, more radical. The servants now all want to live in their own homes; they insist on the right of opportunities for self-development. Hence the gradualetterment of schools. Whites See Tuskegee Need. Whites See a people disliked the idea of Tuskegee because of the old idea that ignorant workers were better than those with schooling, they would be more content as workers—now the south is realizing that improvements in Tuskego as a race mean in education.

Ku Klux Mob Rule Upheld By Minister
Ku Klux Mob Rule Upheld By Minister
YORK, Pa., Sept. 20—"Why the Ku Klux Klan?" This question was the theme of an address last week in the Bethlehem Evangelical Church by the Rev. C. B. Curtgastress, who took 'pains' to explain that he was not an apologist for the Klan, but that he simply was presenting reasons for the development of the organization. Here are the reasons he gave: 1. Movies, which give their patrons a distorted view of life and quench a desire for spiritual development. 2. Automobiles, which have done some good but more evil. 3. Growing disregard for law and constituted authority. 4. Grafting, inner-circle clique of politicians, the "constituted authority and the makers of law," who, by their own example, encourage law-breakers. 5. "Sporting" by men of other men's wives.
The pastor declared that the Klan is more feared than the law. While he professed to deploy mob rule and lynchings he said the law could not prevent crime as reason, as the fear lynchmen from the limb of a tree on a lonely read. He said: "There is an element that will respect the vision of a rope in the hands of an angry mob more than volumes of law stacked on the / bible laws stacked on the / "Disregard for la w and authority is stalking boldly up the aisles of the church."

American 'Colorphobia' Is Criticized By French
Police Shut Down Places
Where Race Men Were
Ejected on Complaint of
Yankee Tourists
(Crusader Service)
PARIS, Sept. 20—The French are so astounded by their discovery of anti-Negro prejudice among white Americans that they are still sputtering. To them it is inconceivable—fantastic—that a man whose skin happens to be white should object to the company because he was born to be black.
When French newspapers told how Americans at Montmartre night resorts rose immediately at their tables and shouted angrily for the manager to "throw out" two Negroes who had taken places, the French public was widowed at Paris in 1914. Then they were furious when it was explained what it meant.
There seems to be very little acquaintance with the history of the anglo-saxon attitude toward the Negro prejudices' in America. The French had joined with the anglo-saxons in first robbing Africa of her children and later robbing the Africans of their land and liberties.
Aged Man Is Cleared Of Assault Charge
CHICAGO, Sept. 20—Miss Bessie Lyles, 3102 Indiana avenue, had Frank Gray, 59 years old, employee of the American Wrecking Co. at 12th and Michigan avenue, arrested last Tuesday for alleged rape. According to the stories of both Grey and Miss Lyles the latter had been a frequent caller at Greys place of employment. On this occasion she was there to bring the aged man lunch. After each trip the man was asked to provide, with the result that Miss Lyles usually left with all the money. But on this occasion fate was with the old man and he won all Miss Lyle's money.
Miss Lyles called n the police and had Grey arrested on the charge that he had attacked her bodily. Judge Trude dismissed the case after Miss Lyles called n the police must keep away from Grey's place of employment.

But French exploitation of darker people is based merely upon the weakness of the darker people and not upon their color. The French exploit all colors where they can, as witness their present exploitation of the German workers in the Ruhr. When the before, France freed her hands, the French exploited the matter. Unlike the ango-saxons, the French had no phrasal attitude to maintain, no fake morality to pose before the world. The ango-saxons, however, being so often and easily moved to great bursts of morality, indulged in the persecution by others, had to go to the trouble of advancing a reason for their exploitation and enslavement of the Negro race, and feverishly called upon Bible and science to prove the inferiority of this race, in the effort to secure the race against it. Moral justification! That is what the ango-saxons seek for all their crimes against weaker peoples. Just let them be able to find the thinnest grounds for moral justification and they are compelled to satisfy them, however, and strongly object to anglo-saxons importing their home prejudices into French territory.

It indeed belongs to those in the fold of Spiritualism to witness the decided change, the trend and mind of the populace, people of keen perception, investigators of high intellect, even the masses observe a new awakening, all conscious things including Creeds, Dogmas, and Theology, are being weighed and found wanting; yes, they can be likened to the salt that has lost its savor. These systems founded on faith do not satisfy the hungry soul and are not sufficient for the thirst. People who are not aware of the sinister influences, like the sin -hat so easily beats, cannot withstand the mind in the making. Infants are contented with what is given them for a certain period, but are they grown to accept experiences extrainduces, and knowledge increases. They will not accept the standards given them in infancy. The child of today does not countenance a Santa Claus or the like. they have outgrown these limitations who is abreast with t:imes and conditions of today; will not for a moment by any overtures, accept or purchase an obsolete dwelling with hydrant on the outside and no conveniences on the inside and no certain dems, saying I want a residence with all modern residences. With these conditions material in life prevailing, so are conditions spiritually. People of earth will not accept the doctrines of man as to the greater extent than to the lesser ones, his might follows the dictates of his God- given conscience. He then is free. Modern Spiritualism in enunciation invites the sincere truth seeker, has that unfailing faith that will not shrink though oppressed by fear, knowing that the truth of life is infinitely whole. Rev. Charles G. Mundell, Oakland, California; Rev. C. W. Shaw, Portland, Oregon; Rev. C. M. De Goller, Mayor of Bradford, who are almost persuaded awaken to decision, let that sunlight in your very self banish doubt and fear, sorrow and sighing will flee instantly, the lost chord will have been found, and your heart will be awakened. There is no death.

Parents of White Pupils Object to Colored Teacher
School Board Assigns Her to Teach Class of Her Race and Row Is Quelled
NEW YORK, Sept. 20—Supervising Principal William A. S. Smith rescued the Hackensack Board of Education from an embarrassing predeath with Miss Nellie Morrow, a newly appointed teacher, to take charge of backward colored pupils in the State Street school, and thus save the board the necessity of assigning the program to children. Petitions signed by some 1,500 parents were to be presented the board at its meeting held Monday, the day before reopening of the schools, protesting a colored teacher being placed in charge of white pupils.
It is said the local Ku Klux Klan had been active in a quiet way in connection with these petitions, but hundreds of mothers with no thought about the war were active. Miss Morrow is competent and there was nothing personal in the opposition. Her color was the only issue. She passed the necessary examination, and was placed on the board. She was also the board. The board was compelled to appoint her according to law, and could not evade the problem.
NEW YORK; Sept. 20—Mrs. Ann Lynch, 38 years old, a colored woman living in the year of a dry goods store, died in her floor of a five story tenement house at 322 Easl.

"When Love Rejected Turns to Hate," Is Strong Theme of "St. Elmo" Film
"When love rejected turns to hate

Mr. Kipling with these words of

novel, "If Winter Comes," which will

St. Elmo's personality highly
charged with moods and quick tem-
pered reactions. He loves with his

violence.
When in the photoplay St. Elmo comes unexpectedly upon his sweet-heart in the arms of the man he hithertobefore considered his best friend; when he hears his sweetheart planning to marry one of his friends by means of his money; when he hears this—the flaming passion, of St. Elmo's love for this-girl changes to bitter, disillusioned hatred of her, of his friends, of everything he'dear, "Then ill-betide the man," warned Kipling, when love rejected turns to love, "Then ill-betide the man," loved.

The blackmailing gang, learning that the packet is in the hands of P-very, sends an emissary to Beverly's home, where he steals a valuable string of pearls given to Beverly by her husband. Clo takes up the trail which leads to the Blackmailers' hangout. Hiring a room alongside, she bores a hole in the wall and discovers where the pearls and the package have been hidden. In answer to her call for help, Justin O'Reilly, who has fallen in love with her, goes to her rescue. finding the coast clear, she enters the room and secures possession of the pearls, which she is about to throw to O'Reilly on the street, when the gang returns.
There is a scuffle and a pistol shot. Clo is wounded. The pearls and the packet are then delivered to Beverly. The next night at a fashionable lawn party given by the Sands, the black-mailers again make an effort to regain the lost packet, but they are frustrated by Clo and the police.

dreamy bit of femininity.
It is her sincerity, her trust, his love for her that enables St. Elmo to wage a vicious fight with his bitterness and hatred of people. The great suspense maintained as the man fights the "devil within him" makes of this William Fox screen version of Augustus Evans's romance a photoplay of unusual power.
Supporting John Gilbert is Barbara La Marr, entrusted with the rest of the wrestler's faithlessness starts the plot wheels to revolve; Bessie Love as Edna Earle, whose faith and sincerity and love are the deciding factors in St. Elmo's life; Warner Baxter, Nigel De Bruller and Lydia Knott.

Short Cuts
Warsaw papers consider favorably the proposition of the French government to colonize the overflow of Polish population in Africa. The determination of the United States to restrict immigration into this country from foreign countries until its own labor is fully included and employed in its industries causes the Poles to seek other outlets.

Five men sent out with loads of furs have failed to shield Shaad, the tyrannical faction that offers five hundred dollars to whomever makes the trip, and Gzibli accents.
Intrusting Felice McTavish, his sweetheart, with the care of a babe left him by a dead friend, he leaves with his team. As he stops to fix his sled, one of the handles is splintered by a bullet. Gabrielle backs to the edge of a high precipice as three fur-clad figures approach. The outlaws, thinking him dead, drive off with the team.

Man and dog become friends that winter. On one day, while resting a shot pixieces Gabrielle's arm, the figure emerges from the wood. The dog rushes at him, but the would-bombassin escapes, leaving part of the scarf with the dog.
With spring, Galloway, having designs on Felter, tells her Gabrielle has perished. When the trapper re-opens the post, he is furious. Learning of the scarf episode, he orders his henchman, the "Fox," to make away with the dog.
To offset strapicion piling against him, Galloway has the "Fox," plant a compromising letter in Gabrielle's house. The dog has escaped, discovers the "Fox" in the act and makes short work of him.
Gabrielle, entring, finds the dog cowering, block covered, and thinking the baby killed in jealousy, angrily beats the de- who sets out for the pack. Gabrielle allows to bring him back, meets Galloway, who attacks her. The dog rushes at Galloway, hurting him over a cliff after a fierce but brief struggle. Police are seated in light before the fireside, thinking of old times, when a barking is heard. They open the door to admit the wolf-dog who assured of a welcome, goes out and returns with five puppies and mates. And renamed, all make a happy household.

Wins Second Leg On Magnificent Cup; Hubbard Gets Trophy
Edgar Thomson "Ace" Runs Entire Race Under Handicap—Breaks Own Record for 22-Mile Course by Eight Minutes. DeHart Takes Three Firsts.
(Special to The Pittsburgh Courier)
DETROIT, Mich., Sept. 20—Running against Fate, a field of the very cream of marathoners, and overcoming almost unsurmountable difficulties, R. Earl Johnson, of Pittsburgh, national five-mile champion and conceded Olympic entrant for this country, ran to a glorious victory last Saturday in the Detroit News marathon.
In winning the 22-mile race, Johnson broke his own record for the course, completing the distance in two hours and nine minutes, exactly eight minutes faster than the time in which he won the race two years ago. In winning Sat-
today, Johnson obtained a second
leg on the handsome $300 trophy,
to be given to the first person
winning the marathon three times.
Hubbard Wins Trophy
Scintillating with equal brilliance in the track and field events, DeHartubbard, youthful phenom from the University of Michigan, and holder of the A. A. U. broad jump, won the individual trophy, when he garnered the jump, the jump and the 100-yard dash. No greater all-round and more versatile athlete has ever performed here than Hubbard, and his achievements last Saturday marked the crowning event which is chosen with noteworthy performances. From the Penn Relays, held in Philadelphia, April, through the A. A. U. meet in Chicago and the Wilco games in New York, Hubbard's star has been with noteworthy performances with more brilliance than in more Saturday's contests, when he came to his greatest heights.
Handicapped Before Start
Johnson was handicapped before the start of the race, inasmuch as he had lost his shoes, and reached Detroit only after two nights riding on train, just in time to participate in Johnson's bag was lost in Chicago, and he was unable to purchase shoes either in New York or Pittsburgh. last week he took a trip to Hammond, Va. when his mansion, Leaving there Thursday night, he arrived in Pittsburgh Friday afternoon. Leaving Pittsburgh Friday night, he hit here Saturday morning, still without his marathon shoes.
Unable to purchase a pair suitable for him, Johnson bought a pair of baseball shoes and cut the spikes. With this as a handicap, he started the race. Forced to Quit
Quickly assuming the lead, Johnson, with that "close to the ground" section, so characteristic of his stride, soon amassed a comforting trio to the chars of race with whom he is a prime favorite.
About the fifth mile the shoes begin to give him trouble. He pluckily continued, however, until the eleventh mile, when blistered, would allow him to continue. Obtaining a knife from a spectator, Johnson proceeded to demolish the shoes, cutting them almost apart, and then placing inner soles in their tunnels. The tunnels who finished second and third, had overtaken and passed him, the men were almost a mile ahead, as Johnson again started out. Onookers, who saw the pain that he was in, conceded that he and no chance.
Passes Up Rivals
Then began the hardest part of the race. Johnson knew that somewhere in the distance his two competitors were forging steadily ahead. Again falling into that ground-covering pace, he realized that he was pickup in the field and a great burst of speed, with plaudits of hundreds ringing in his ears, the Edgar Thomson runner passed the men in the nineteenth mile. From then on, the race was Johnson's, and he finished over 200 yards in front of his nearest opponent.
Johnson will go on the 1924 Olympic, unless he breaks a leg or somewhat like that. And it is said that the will enter in three events, the 0,000 metre the cross-country run and the marathon.
That Johnson won the race is all important when one considers the fact that he had not run in a race over five miles since last Thanksgiving.

Chicagoans Come From Behind to Win 10-6 From Squares in Elimination Game.
CHICAGO, Ill., Sept. 15—Crawling along on the short and of a 6 to 1 score in their half of the sixth inning, with the umpire seemingly refusing to give any sort of a fair decision on balls and strikes unless Rile cut the heart of the plate during the early part of the game and acting the same with Diana Johnson, the American Giants came to life with Grant doubled in the eighth with the scoring two runs. Then come the home eighth in which Johnson wiggled through, three up and three down.
The Giants half of the ninth was one of the wildest ever seen at the Logan Square park; and put, the white boys down another notch in the elty semi-pro championship series. The rally by dumping a Cincinnati hit into right, Gardner was safe on an error at first, DeMoss walked, Torrienti hit a home run into the center field bleachers. Kenyon came along and doubled to the score board. Marlarcher walked, Grant sacrificed Kenyon, Williams single scored Kenyon, Williams' batting for the second time in the same inning, beat out a hit, while Brown scored. Williams pulled up at third. Lysons stole second to make it a good day's work. Gardner, in an attempted squeeze game in foul territory and Williams was doubled before he could get back to third. The Giants took the field, with Owens pitching. Owens fanned the first batter, a single, an error and a walk filled the bases.

'Nip' Winters Ball For Ea Only To Los
Now that Tex Rickard, Jack Kearns, et al., have gathered the 1923 Lemon Crop, and have put over the big harvest of dollars, it will be interesting to note just how much sincerity the gang will show towards the oft-expressed desire to give Harry Wills a chance at the big dough. We will have to consider the fact that the champion has too much ability to be afraid of any one, but as The Courier has contended right along, it was "business" that kept Wills from his chance. Wills will undoubtedly be the most dangerous opponent Dempsey has ever met, and the gang reckons that it is the height of folly to tackle something dangerous to the reason of losing a Dollar asset, because the champion is proved to be too successful, results could be achieved without danger of placing the title in jeopardy.
While Firpo is a colorful figure, whose whims and peculiar characteristics are bound to appeal to the gullible and make of himself a big attraction, the real fight fans want to see Wills and Dempsey in action. And though the big press ballyhoo is liable to be bought off, the champion, knows full well, that he is being accused only of ducking Wills, aided and abetted in his program by the big papers of the East. And the indoor games do not compare with the big outdoor stuff, it might not be and idea for Wills to take a hand at bounding to pulp some of the Bill Brennans, Billy Miskes and the long list of heavyweight dubs and trial horses during the coming winter to keep his hands in and to keep before the public. Knocking out a long list of dubs will do more towards getting a chance at a championship than all the injunctions six judges can issue.
'Nip' Winters Hurls Hitless Ball For Eight Innings Only To Lose In Ninth, 1-0
PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Sept. 20.—"Nip" Winters, pitching for the Hilldale club Saturday 10st. a tough game when the Doherty Silk Sox, known as the Paterson Silk Sox, scored a run in the ninth and won, 1 to 0, on Hilldale field. "Nip" had pitched to but 24 men in eight innings, not allowing a hit, and, with Crowell-out in the ninth, he walked Smith. Gaiton then socked one over second base, which Warfield managed to knock down but could not field. Miller then beat out a slow roller along the third base line and, with the bases loaded, Peterson came through with a single to left,

We has been afraid of Wills; no, sir; he is afraid of any one, but as The Couus "business" that keep Wills empire a most dangerous opponent, that it is the height of folly to tackle risk of losing a Million Dollar asset, when the same financial results could gig the title in jeopardy.
Rickard is trying to match Firpo and meet Dempsey. THIS looks about the same, but would, on the other hand, of which he is capable. Wills has much speed, more reach, is a better as resourceful, and while his punches the simple reason we do not believe in heavyweight who has in his record Kid Norfork, has more to his credit over Brennan, Willard, Miske and take anything away from the champion he has fought was Tommy Gibbievable advantage, except knowledge just now to ravage by the dog-bellion that he will never be able to be that this view the reason for the Argentinian instead of slugging with on the champion, as shifty as he was, block, duck, sidestep or counter last for the old Briton. Wills is a primal opponent, has seen each a fighter of this type to do any an elephant to Tango. If he is able defense, he will certainly lose on his to heat Firpo just as often as he is he, whose whims and peculiar charm gullible and make of himself a big to see Wills and Dempsey in action, is liable to be bought off, the chaining accused only of ducking Wills, the big papers of the East, compare with the big outdoor stuff, it to take a hand at pounding to pulp and the long heavy knee to keep his head in position out a long list of dubs will do more sponsorship than all the injunctions six.

"Leonard Not In Class With Gans"--Nelson
By James J. Lang
(In the Pittsburgh Sun)
OLD RING FANS OBJECT
Many veteran boxing fans will take vigorous exception to the asser-
tion that Johnny Dundee was Johnston, formerly manager of Ted (Kid) Lewis and other prominent
boxers and no wmatchmaker for the Cromwell Athletic Club, which promotes big biceps show at the new
statement for the press Johnston declared that Johnny Dundee was a much greater fighter than Terry McGovenn ever had been, and that Benny Leonard was by just as wide a man superior to Joe Gans at his best.
Those who know Johnston and the ways of modern fight promoters are not willing, to believe that Jimmy was sincere in this statement. It is just possible that he was only trying to boost the Leonard-Duncee schedule for late Wednesday night, and, as subsequent developments showed, it needed even boosting that it got, as for various reasons not made clear—no doubt one of them was a distressingly small advance sale—the affair had to be postponed until September 27. Moreover, there were some who took his remarks seriously, and, needless to say, Johnston quickly became the target for a lot of stinging criticism. For instance, one scribe reports that when he repeated Johnston's remarks about McGoventry to Patsy Haley, the old-time battler, who was twice knocked out by McGoventry, had a suggestion of Dundee's being in the same class with McGoventry gave him a brainstorm.
Then the remark about Leonard and Gans was repeated to Kid McPartland, another topnotch miller of the Gans, who might be might of Gans. McPartland is quoted as saying, "You aren't serious, are you? Because, if you are, the present generation is more goofy than I thought it was." The insinuator the reply made once by Battling Nelson, when he was asked about the relative merits of Leonard and Gans. "Don't ask me again," said Nelson. "Gans sees me up, some, I am no longer to stand with his memory insulted."
Nelson put it rather strongly, for the average fight follower realizes that it is an honor, not an insult, for Gans or any one else to be compared with Leonard. Benny is really a great fighter and one worthy of being compared with the best champions of the past, even if he cannot be called superior to them, but Nelson is more famous than Nelson and McPayland, like the manager which Haley received the report of Johnston's remarks, reflects, the sentiments of the general public on the question.
It is silly to compare Dundee with McGovern. One of the most wonderful fighting machines of all time in any class, Terryible Terry was a brilliant defender. He was readily realized when you look back over the caliber of modern boxers whom Dundee has fought and how he fared with them, and then recall that McGovern beat George Dixon in eight rounds, Oscar Gardiner in nine rounds, and Frank Irwin in three, Eddie Santry in five, Harry Forbes in two, Patsy Haley in one, Sammy Kelly in five, Kid Broad in six, Tommy White in three, Joe Bernstein-in seven and Tommy Murphy in one, to say not more victories, over men like Dave Sullivan and others in longer periods.
As for Gans, all that he did during his heyday was to beat such men as Battling Nelson, Frank Erne, Spike Sullivan, George McFadden, Jimmy McFadden, and John Burn, Fitzgarland, Eddie Connelly, Rufe Turner, Mike (Twin) Sullivan, Dal Hawkins, Jack Daly, Spiker Kelly, Billy -Bilr; Mike Leonard, Martin Judge, Otto Sielow, Tammy Smith, Gatherer, Tommy Sielow, Gatherer, Tommy Sielow, weights worthy of the name. Leonard has not had any bunch like that to compete with, so that the assertion that he is better than Gans is rather fetched. But imagine a man who has Leonard at his peak! That probably would be worth going a block or two to witness.

Harrisburg Giants In Big City Series
Club Has Made Formidable Record—Copped 16 Out
of Last 21 games Played
HARRISBURG, Pa. Sept. 20.—The Harrisburg Giants is undoubtedly one of the strongest nines in the Quaker state, and up to the present seemingly the stoutest squad on the diamond in central Pennsylvania. The Giants have also credibly met several out-of-state teams, including the All Cubans and a live wire aggregation from Elizabeth, N. J. score will show that at least nine in which the Giants have played contention the Giants will场 lot "tallies," which are the ear-marks of poor baseball training.
The traditional unlucky "113" seems to yet be a Jnx. It was the thirteenth game in which the stream of victories of the up-state team was imitated by the Tower City (Pn.) team, score being 5 to 4.

"GRIDIRON DUST" FROM SOUTHERN COLLEGS
Last week Harlem reminded one of a meeting place for Southern football players. The writer was kept busy getting an introduction to the many gridiron performers who are now winding their ways. back to their respective schools. Captain Wingfield of Morris Brown, Lyman Athens; Morgan of Atlanta, Hunter of Edward Waters; Proctor of Morris Brown, and Coach Tutt of Halves were among those who were all filled with thoughts of the approaching football season.
When I woke up the other morning and felt the cool breeze winging their way into my New York domicile, all thoughts turned toward ball. I too could resist the impulse no longer so boys and I felt the dud of the pigkin as it spiralled its way through the air. I could feel the old familiar touch of the tackling dummy, I could hear the commands of "Chief" as he thundered "ten more laps. "Any boy sure enough there were the howling mob on the side lines crying 'touchdown'. Gee! what else could a fellow do but "hit the trail."
With all of the men from last year's squad back, and a wealth of new material in sight to pick from, College Bryan of A. & T. College at Greensboro, N. C. has promised a strong Blu-ray disc world. All but two of this year's games will be played on the home grounds.
The following schedule has been presented for publication: October 6, Howard Univ., Wash., D. C.; October 2, Shaw Univ., Greenboro, N. C.; October 19, Johnson College, Smith Univ., Greensboro, N. C.; October 26, St. Augustine, Greensboro, N. C.; November 3, Va. N. & . I. Petersburg, Va.; November 10, open; November 10, Greenboro, N. C.; November 24, open; November 29, Bennett College, Greensboro, N. C.
Mr. William O. Kindle, graduate of William O. Kindle, will take charge of athletics at Talladge College this fall. Mr. Kindle was formerly physical director at the Harlem branch of the Y. M. C. A. College, will take charge of athletics at Talladge College this fall. Mr. Kindle was formerly physical director at the Harlem branch of the Y. M. C. A. College, will take charge of athletics into Southern athletic activities and predict for Talladge a creditable showing in all branches of athletics.
Mr. Rudough Moses, graduate of New Orleans College and a former student at Columbia-University will be connected with athletes at the seat of his Alma Mater this fall. The athletic spirit should be very much revived under the leadership of this young man.

Coach Law, formerly of Lincoln, who is reported to have signed up to coach the Sam Houston College down in Texas this season.
Jim Law, Former Lincoln Mentor, ToCoachin Texas
PHILADELPHA, Sept. 20.—James Law, former head coach at Lincoln University, has left for Austin, Texas, where he will be football coach at Sam Houston College.
Law was, football captain at Lincoln in 1921 and was made athletic director the following season when the graduate system was installed. He resigned last spring with the announced intention to return to the local school. His acceptance of the coaching job in the south, therefore, comes as a surprise.
Local Birds In 130-MileRace
The Liberty Homing Club of the Garfield district held its second bird race of the season last week when six fleet-winged fowls, took the air at Newark, Ohio, for their home lofts at Pittsburgh. The distance from Newark to Pittsburgh is 130 miles, Airline.
The race was a close contest, but Elizabeth Clay, a neat blue checkered hen, flying to the board of the paddle boat of stubborn for Worrell Weeden's Billy, which was the closest contest of the victor. As will be observed from the tabulation below, the contest was on the whole evently matched. Five of the birds flew almost in an irregular phalanx. The distance of the previous and initial flight was only 100 miles as compared with the 130-mile path of last week.
This perhaps accounts for the difference that in the case of the fowls, especially that of "Miss Clay," who had an average of 54 seconds less than that of Sir Dorthyson, winner of first flight.
Two other birds were in the contest but no report was had from their lofts. The Liberty Homing Club is continuing to extend the length of the air line. In the next contest the feathered' futterers will have the pleasure of wading through two hundred miles of atmosphere.
The following is a summary of the race:

New Changes In Football Rules
New Changes In Football Rules
Incident to the beginning of the football season it is wise for coaches and players to become familiar with the slight changes that have been made in the playing rules, most of which are herewith described by Benjamin Washington, approved A.

Dempsey Must Defeat Wills To Clear Title
Tex Rickard Quoted as Saying That Colored Challenger Only Dempsey Opponent of Championship Calibre.
NEW YORK, Sept. 20. — To be monarch of all he surveys, it now remains for Jack Dempsey to meet Harry Wills, the New York steward.
Will the bout be held? And if so, will it be held in New York City? Ever since the question of a Wills-Dempsey fight was broached, the opinion has been held by many that it would be bad stuff to pull off the battles in New York City, there are 500 co-curators of citizens in the metropolis and they might get too excited over affairs. Race riots are pleasant things.
When Dempsey put the giant Firpo down for the count and the 90-, 000 flight bugs at the Polo grounds gave Jack the first real enthusiastic cheer he has received since he won the title, the next thing the fans'd was to crave the blood of Harry Wills.
Fans Want Wills Go
Not one, but scores of the spectators who filled out of the arena Friday, Dempsey is a real champion. He's only got one more job on his hands—and that job is to put Harry Wills out of business."
So the contest now is up to Tex

Rickard. Rickard, it will be remembered, has said all along that Harry Wills is the one man in the fight game today who could enter the ring with Dempsey, with an equal chance of leaving the squared circle as the world's champion. In this connection, however, a little up-and-up on Wills may not be amiss.
Harry Wills' hands' are on the bum. They've been that way since he traded wallops with Clem Johnson, heavyweight. But Harry wants a chance at Dempsey and he wants a chance at the doubles and he wanted to scrap for the world's heavyweight title. Paddy Mullins, his manager, also wants the same chance for his ward.
So Harry, like Brew Fox in Uncle Remus' stories, has jes' been layin' low since the Clem Johnson fight. He has been nursing his dukes, and he thinks that if he got in the ring

"From 'Superman' To Man"

Author of "Blood-Money" and Other Stories
SYNOPSIS
Dixon, a World War veteran and College man, is a Pullman porter on the California Limited. He is spending his spare moments reading Finot's "Race Prejudice," when he is interviewed by a passenger whom he finds an interesting talker. Later he is ridiculed by a Southern Senator, also a passenger on the train, for his "fine taste for books," and is forced to agree with him that the races are not equal.
WITH regard to this matter of unity among my people," responded Dixon, "the first point to be considered: is shall we have Negroes or shall we have Americans? We can't have both. The closer certain nationalities in our population get together the further they drift from what ought to be the predominating idea—the general welfare of the State. I think that the aim of the so-called Negro should be national, not segregated, unity; provided, of course, that the white man will permit him. Why should a certain class of citizens band themselves in a separate camp, patronizing only themselves, working only among themselves, and so on? Let us suppose that the Jews, the Irish, the Mayflower descendants, and others, form themselves into their respective camps, patronizing only themselves. Wouldn't it make for narrowness, not to say national disharmony? None of the nationalities that come here are forced to segregate themselves—indeed, they are upbraided when they do so, as listen to the fuss that was made about the German-American. Another point: a too close Negro unity makes for segregation.
"And with regard to Negroes not acting more in unity, the truth is you can never get any group of human beings to think alike, not most vital interests are concerned. Didn't the Welsh collisions strike, and the English labor unions hamper the Government just when unity was most needed? Again, in California great rackets made about the Jews, and the Germans who are their main support? The Gentile has complained for centuries about the Jews, yet doesn't he go on dealing with him just the same? And there are even those Negroes who causticians in his treatment of their Jews. And people I notice that those, who preach what they call racial unity do not practice it when it affects their pocketbooks. Just as long as the so-called Negro has the same ideals of pacified, pacified, and remains as credulous as he is, I do not think that he will be more united than at present.
"On the other hand, I think there are three reasons why the Negro should spend his money among his own people; first, a matter of personal interest, second, the white persons whom he patronizes really despise him in their hearts; second, his is a struggling group and needs support, and third, since he is forced to work for the whites for smaller than the usual wage, he should not spend it with them at the bottom. Third, he must not forget that the principal supporters of Negro business are Negroes."
The senator drew his overcrowd closer around him. Dixon noticed his motion and asked if he were cold, "Somewhat," was the reply. Dixon reached under the seat and turned in the steam. A few minutes later, when the steam was thumping in the room, he was a whiner. He is always whining, whining. He would do better by not protesting so much.
"Sir," replied Dixon, "it's very evident that, since the Negro's disparity in numbers and wealth makes it impossible to take up arms for his rights, at least at this time he must follow the course pursued by him in a similar disadvantage that is, protect." "But the rice loses valuable time in protesting—time that could be employed in bettering its condition."
employed in bettering its condition. "Losing time by protesting! Can't you imagine King George and his supporters making just such an argument against it?" they protested against unjust taxes? If the Negro were to say nothing wouldn't it most naturally be taken; that he is contented? I do consider it the duty not only of those who suffer from, but also those who see injustice, to protest against it. We hold Great denounce the charisers and the rich will the might of His soul. When the Jews were rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem on their return from Babylonian captivity did they not wield sword in one hand and trowel in the other? Consider this, also: At school the spirit of independence is instilled into the hearts of men to admire满, indomitable spirits like Julius Caesar, William Tell. Patrick Henry, George Washington. We are expected to be brave in war—in short, all the standards of the whites are impressed upon us. Do you suppose, then, we can remember while our most rights are transfixed? Has taxation with representation ceased to be terrifying?
"Agnain, look at the large number of discontented native whites who are bitterly fighting and who already have what Negroes are fighting for! There are the La Follettes, the Hiram Johnsons, the Borahs and the Scott Nearings, the DuPoises, the Owenses and the Helphols? But this object to our protesting is a hopeful sign; it shows that conscience is at work." Dixon reflected an instant and continued: "A similar number of whites would undoubtedly take more active measures to gain their rights, but the Negro, not much educated and without efficient organization, is almost impossible to plead for, which he might demand he united. He represents not less than one-ninth of the population, yet, as you say, there is not a single one in the higher councils.

of the nation. The truth is that the Negro, like, the Irish in Ireland, lacks that spirit of give and take that many oppressed peoples like the more oppressed Jews. Inter-racial jealousy, as you said. Like the Irish, we are a race of individualists:"
"Then all the other nationalities go ahead of the Negro said the senator, the Polocks and all the others:"
"Your analogy isn't fair."
"Can't see why."
"These people are all white," replied Dixon, "and, however hard the first generation, may find it, such hard experiences being due almost entirely to their own deficiencies, the rest of the white population ever, is regarded as a separate entity. Another point, sir, the immigrant not only gets ahead of the Negro, but of the native whites as well. Just look at the names on the signs along any business street or railroad, and you will see that American group of whites is the most decadent of all—for example, the whites of the Southern States, like Georgia and the Carolinas. The most progressive Northern States are those that have received the highest education, like New York, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts; the least progressive, those that have received little, like Maine and New Hampshire. The same holds true of the western ones. The least progressive, those that have our cosmopolitan population happens to be the Anglo-Saxon. I refer directly to the poor white mountainters of Kentucky and Tennessee.
"Albert Bushnell Hart, in his book, 'The Southern South,' compares them with the peoples of New England in the seventeenth century. Then, there are the poor native whites of good Anglo-Saxon stock and Franklin Counties, New York Areau stock County, Maine, and Windham County, Connecticut. Prof. Branson of North Carolina, compares these people to those crab-like creatures mentioned in 'Lea Miserables'—people who, before advancing light, steadily retreat into the fringe of darkness, while the Chicago Journal, 'are not beyond the help of education,' 'These poor and decadent whites, North as well as South, are, as I said, the purest representatives of that Anglo-Saxon race that the Watons, Vardamans and Rodidenberries are always bragging about. They are a striking example of decay. Most communities of African ores and certainly much below a people like the Basutos. You a spoke of inferior races; here, if anywhere on earth, is one."
"The Negro, however, is growing out of the ideas inculcated in slavery. Each succeeding generation will be progressively assertive of its manhood. I repeat, all that the group lacks is training and opportunity." No more of the black man can make him anything else but a Negro, snapped the senator; "he is simply incapable of governing himself. Who evolved the white man's government for him? Look what a miserable failure Liberia has been amid the wealth of the vast African continent! Look what a farce Haiti is! There never has been a successful government by Negroes, and the only thing he'll give a hundred dollars to immease a single one."

CALF FRISKS ON WOODEN LEG
MOBERLY, Mo, Sept. 20. — A calf that has to be "assembled every morning is the property of J. W. Boucher, who lives near Moberly. The animal has a wooden leg, which must be attached before she can run and play in the woods again when the calf was only 3 days old, a sow bit off the end of her tail and the lower part of her right hind leg. Reluctant to sacrifice a heifer calf from the best cow of his herd, Boucher devised an artificial leg, attached to a leather casing, to jump up every morning. The calf takes kindly to the device and bawls loudly for her leg each morning if her owner is late in assembling her for the day's antics.

Almost Buried Alive
Aged Woman Victim of Lethargy Giving Her Death Look
Mourner Saves "Corpse"
Discovers Rigar Mortis Had Not Set In, Although Heart Had Stopped Beating and Woman Had Ceased to Breathe.
A mourner at the funeral of Mme. Elize La Flamme, of Montreal Canada, probably saved the aged woman from burial alive by calling attention that rigor mortis had not set in. The doctors had Madame La Flamme taken from her casket and put to bed for treatment as a suspected case of catalytic lethargy, which they said, might give her the appearance of death. Priest Waiting The Parish priest and the choir boys were waiting in the little church of St. Jean Baptiste de Rouville, and the pall-bearers had just raised the casket when one of the mourners spotted that Mme. La Flamme was the appearance of a dead woman. Her heart was not beating, and she was not breathing, but the "corpse" was neither rigid nor cold. Fearful that they might be burying her alive, the mourners sent for two doctors, who made an examination.
The physicians decided the ceremonies shouldn't be halted immediately, particularly when told that Mine, the son of the same condition for two days before she was supposed to have breathed her last.

Fifty Metal Objects Are Taken From Her Stomach by Surgeons ST. JOSEPH, Mo., Sept. 20. — A middle-aged woman, whose name is being withheld by the surgeons at St. Joseph Hospital, was brought to that institution suffering from internal pains. X-ray examination of a wrist injury was imperative, and it was performed.

FINDS GOLD TEETH IN BREAD
This Georgia Farmer Bites Off More Than He, Can Chew SWAINSBORO, Ga., Sept. 20. — Preston Gibbs, a farmer near here, came with a piece of carrot that he did on his arrival here, after putting up his team of mules, was to go to a lunch counter for a snack to eat. He ordered a hamburger sandwich and tore into it and placed it on a circular plate. After the first mouthful had been disposed of he bit into a complete lower set of false teeth, mounted in thin gold. The discovery stirred up considerable excitement in the restaurant, as may be indicated. The proprietor made inquiries among the bakers who supply him with bread, one of whom said he had employed a tramp bread baker for a couple of nights, but as the man in charge of baking during working hours he had to let him go.

Odd Triangle Bared When Police Find Man Eloped With Wife of Own Brother
'Artist' Comes 'Seven' But Is Killed By Pals
Public Likes Jazz; Musician Declares
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Sept. 20. — A wife's apparent preference for her husband's younger brother led the b: ther and the woman to police headquarters, while the husband, armed with warrants, prepared to prosecute. A maze of circumstances surround the case, the result of a love triangle in the home of Oliver Snyder, the husband, a building contractor of Wichita, Kan. He made the complaint against his wife, Mrs. Loyia Jane Snyder, and his brother, William Snyder. In the last year many colorful events have been chronicled in the life of Oliver Snyder. It was hardly twelve months ago that Snyder and Mrs. Snyder was married. It was the second marriage for Mrs. Snyder and she had two small children. The honeymoon was spent at Mr. Hope, near Wichita, Kan. Then they moved to Wichita and Willard Snyder, the brother, came to live with Oliver and family. Mrs. Snyder became named of the police told. Events moved swiftly. One day last February Snyder went

Questioning the Judge
Aunt Aurora, a Canadian woman, was a great advocate of the rod as a help in child-rearing. As a result of an unmerciful beating which she gave her youngest and "orneriest," she was brought into court one day by outraged neighbors.
The judge, after giving her a severe lecture, asked if she had any difficulty. "Test one thing, judge," she replied. "I want to ax you a

He arrived here this week and went with notice to a house on Jefferson street, where Mrs. Snyder, the faithless brother and the two children wer found.
Oliver Snyder scorned the proffered hand of the younger brother, and ordered the police to arrest the offenders. Willard was arrested and being held at the officer's Mrs. Snyder, after being held in the matron's room, twenty-four hours, was released and ordered to report to the police.

Asylum Inmate Is Candidate for Office
Is First to Enter Race for City Council Nomination.
BUFFALO, N. Y., Sept 20—Henry Hoffstetter, an inmate of the Buffalo State Hospital for the Insane, is the 51st candidate officially to enter the city primaries for nomination as councilman. The position is important, since Buffalo, is governed by five councilmen. Another filed his entry petition with 600 signatures attached and Election Commissioner Beyer said the name would go on the primaries ballot.
No, effort is made to conceal the fact that the entrant is a resident of the insane asylum. The candidate's name added to the explanation wording "At, present State Hospital, ward 11."
The committee on the Hoffettetter candidacy is composed of some well known Buffaloonians. Hoffettetter's former friend in Haskell, Mike, attitude on public questions frequently commands generous attention. Hoffettetter was committed to the Office because of the much letter writing of the committee men and officials criticizing his actions.

I grew up with other black and white boys. I was nev. whipped by any, but made them all respect the teachers. I got my education from many. I got my private tutors. Two public schools two grammar. or high schools and t. colleges. My teachers were men and women of varied experiences and abilities; four of them were teachers; they studied me and I studied them. We came friendly in after years, others I drifted apart, because as a boy they wanted to whip me, and I simply insults to be whipped. I was not made to be whiph. It annoys to be defeated; hence to me, to be defeated to struggle for cause for an everlasting struggle to reach the top.
I became a printer's apprentice at an early age, while still attending school. My apprentice master: was a highly educated and alert man. In the affairs of business and the man he had no peer. He taught me many things before I reached 12, and at least enough intelligence and experience to manage men. I was strong and manly and made them respect me. I developed a strong and forceful character and have maintained it still.
To me, at home in my early days, there as no difference between white and black. On: of my father's properties, the place where I lived, the time, was adjoining that of a white man and two boys; the Wesleyan man, another man whose church my parents attended, also had property adjoining ours. He had three girls and one boy. All of us were playmates. We rumped and were happy when we met together. The little white girl knew no better than I did myself. We were two innocent fools who never dreamed of a race feeling and problem. As a child, I went to school with white boys and girls, like all other Negroes. We were not called the negro then. I never heard the term Negro used once until I was about 14.
it 14 my little white playmate and I parted. Her parents thought the time had come to separate us, when I was 14, and her and another sister to Edinburgh. Otland, and told her that she was never to write or try to get in touch with me; for I was a "nigger." It was never found for the first time that there were different races, each having its own separate and distinct social life. I did not care about the separation of races, and never thought all during our childhood association that the girl and the rest of the children of her race were better than I was; in fact, they used to look up to me. So I simply agreed. I only thought them "fresh."
After my first lesson in race distinction, I never thought of playing with white girls any more, even if they might be next door neighbors. At home my sister's company was good playmate. We took her to school and with the colors green nxt to me. White boys and I used to frolic together. We played cricket and baseball, ran races and rode bicycles together, look each other to the river and to the sea beach to learn to swim, and made boyish efforts while out in deep water, to retrieve a shark that for shore crushing but "shark, shark shark". In all our experiences, bows. (Continued on Page 12, Col 4)

While the piece is a long way from a finished craftsmanship, that day requires and while it is even great, as measured by the time of the day, it is a something the will provide in the play's entertainment; and it is very definite advance in the drama. In this piece Wilson, it has done several less ambitious plays, has told a simple story of day life in the merger, told the philosophy, comedy and the Negro folk songs logically presented.

Masons Rush to Aid Stricken Japanese
G. M. David W. Parker, of New York Prince Hall Grand Lodge, Collects From All Branches to Aid Earthquake Sufferers.
Editorial Staff of the Billboard.
One of the most emphatic demonstrations of the progress of the Negro, of the continued sense of sympathy with the African people, of old blending of the age old spirit of helplessness with the more solemn influence of the colored people, is provided by the prompt action of David W. Parker, the most worshipful grandmaster of the Ancient Honorable Fraternity of Prince Hall, who called upon every unit of the craft in his jurisdiction, including the affiliated higher branches to come to the relief of the Japanese earthquake sufferers.
The proclamation issued by the Grandmaster, counter signed by A.A. Schohn, Secretary, reads in part: "Free Masonry teaches us to relieve the affliction and aid those in distress, and as these people are members of the human family, it is our bounded due to the need of the Masonry—therefore the Masonle family. In this jurisdiction is asked to contribute, as much as their means will allow and the necessity of those in distress demands."

The Afro-American, a Baltimore race paper, has unleashed a corking good editorial on the Douglas theater situation in that city. Space forbids the reprinting of the very excellent book of the papers of the house by the Negro public for the purpose of maintaining a higher standard of entertainment for the race and for the encouragement it represents to the youth of the race.
The Chicago Defender is distributing a film depicting the parade and other features of the Elks convention which drew more than 50,000 people to that city. It was unmistakably the greatest numerical gathering, as well as the most spectacular of the many conventions of the year.
Joe. Treent, the Fred Fisher Publishing house, and Clarence Williams, of the house that bears his name, called the Music writers hall at New Star Casino, in New York, on October 21. A blues contest between recorded artists will be a feature.
Claire Campbell, a little end pony in the "How Come" chorus, was out of the show for a wee bbecause of an accident. The young woman was badly burned about the abdomen and was burned up in a heating appliance in her room in Elmirn, N. Y. She was treated at the St. Joseph hospital in that city and rejoined the show in Toronto.
Roland Webb is dancing and playing a part in an otherwise all Hebrew show called "Three Little Business Men," at the Nora Bayen theater in New York. Barrington newspaper notices for his work in "Magnolia," is another.
"Sweet Pain," by J. H. Trent and R. C. Irving, is a late release from the Fred Fisher Publishing house, "Oh, Oh, Please Don't," is, another number by the same writers. Trent lishers, with the same lishers, "One, 'Harmonics' Blues," the ownership of which he shares with Al. Koppel. The other, "I don't Like It," was by Jules Laster with lyrics by Trent. Incidentally Joe is the manager of the Blues and recording departments of the concern.
Willie Walls advise us that the Carleton Hayes Co. and the Tillie James companies, both of which are 100% attractions. He describes them as "clean and classy."

The action follows closely upon recent visits of M. B.

With the Gibson property in Philadelphia, the Dunbar and the probability of a theater catering to the audience has not been the welcome Pittsburgh has been according colored shows recently, there is an excellent opportunity now for the realization of the hope for a circuit of Negro patronized house for road shows. It is the manager; are willing to spend some money on real attractions and convince their audience that they really propose to meet the desires of the public for the thing offered off the road. The thing that causes the effort of another group to accomplish the thing, viz. *Trv* to take a profit out before any investment had been made in the enterprise. The day of everybody's body money but one's own has very definitely passed.
The Douglas Theater in Baltimore, built with money assembled in the city, is an example of what results from a concert at present virtually going to waste with a big public longing for amusement of the better sort. The Howard Theater in Washington should profit from any just because it is just about got its former clientele because of the uncertainty of the shows that have been offered. A corking good show has too often been followed by a call to the audience, and the confidence of the p-trans. Go to it, showmen, and take ad-

Present Stars of Phenomenal All-Color Show Tell of Trials Before Play "Went Over"
The coming of the new shuffl Along Go<sub>w</sub> by Sissle and Blake in Pittsburgh recently recalls to mind the fact of the wonderful success made by the old company consisting of Miller and Lyles, also Sissle and
These four Negroes, aided by Al. Mayer, a white man, developed "Shuffle Along" from a troup playing one night stands and going where he wanted, which has taken in gross receipts of $1,500,000 in two years. Don't get the idea that "Shuffle Along" was started on a shoe string, for as the five men put it, "it even have to have nothing, rehearsed on empty stomachs, taken on the road on promises, carried along on worthless cheeks and finally returned to New York with a deficit of $210,000." The success of "Shuffle Along" is also the narrative of the up-hill struggle of two young Negroes. Noble Sissle, who wrote the lyrics for the production music, Eubie Blake, who wrote the lyrics, and they have composed more than a score of popular songs. Blake is the "iron man" of the team and not only directs the orchestra, but plays the piano while doing so through entire production. One thing he goes to the stage for a piano con-
Sissle is 33 years old and was born in Indianapolis. He finished grade school and studied two years at DePaul University. During summer vacations he trouped on and got his early writing singing and upposing lyrics by writing an anecdies for football yells and songs.
Blake is 38 years old and can't remember when he could not play the piano. He was born in Baltimore and when a child came to him almost always heard someone else. He graduated from the doctor schools and then drove a doctor's carriage for $1.50 a week.
Played in Dance Hall.
"I got tired of driving that old carriage and got a joie playing the piano in a dance." He said.
"I could not hear a note of music after I was 25 years old. I married a competent musician and she taught me higher music."
Stissle and Blake met in the summer of 1915 in Baltimore. It was there they fourteen years later, their Fault." They got $22 for it, which was split, fifty-fifty.
"After the summer season," began Sissle, taking up the narrative, "we were engaged in a dance hall where we met headliners and wrote songs for them. Nor of the songs were accepted. We had a local reputation and he stayed in Baltimore, conducting orchestra. I moved to Palm Beach as an entertainer. Some New York people who thought I was good told Jim Europe, the orchestra leader, about me and he gave me a job. went to New York and all about Blake had been trying to get him, and we persuaded him to New York in the fall of 1916. At that time Europe was organizing his big band for Col. Hayward's Fifteenth Regiment of National Guards. I got into it. And then came the war and I went in the band in the war over with Hayward's Hell Fighters and soon got out of the band and into the intelligence service. I came out with a shame fail's commission.
"Blake, in the meantime, had
stayed at the University of
looking for Purple's interests."
"Iim Europe's interest," Interjected Blake. "Sislea here was looking out for the interests of Europe proper." "Well, we got back in February, 1919." Sislea continued, "and Europe's band went on the tour which ended, in Europe's death in Boston when a drummer stabbed him. Immediately after Blake and I teamed

up again and spent eighteen months on the Kestrel. With Mark Miller and Lyle
"In January, 1921, we participated in a benefit at a Negro theater in Philadelphia. Miller and Lyle were on the same bill. Then and there "Shuffle Along" was born. Blake and I had always wanted to take out a show, but needed a book. Miller and Lyle had always wanted to have little success because they lacked original music.
"A short time later we were in New York looking for a cheap show that had failed. We intended to revamp it, use the lines prepared by Miller and Lyle, and we played it by Blake and myself, stage it in Negro theater and then call in the white managers to look it over. Miller and Lyle who had a lot of experience picking up up cheap shows, were looking for one when they met our friend, who was the hint enter our friend and benefactor."
Mayer took up the story:
"I had always believed there was room for a good Negro show, but I had never found the show. I had taken out seven Negro productions and all we were flops, I was filled with Miller and Lyle, and Sissle and Blake, and got busy.
"We five agreed to go into partnership. Miller and Lyle were to arrange the blues, Blake. and Sislea to handle the business end, and I was to handle the business end.
"Right here let me say this for these four boys: There has never been a piece of paper between us. We have nothing but the pledged contract, as is good as gold. The profits are split five ways.
"To get back to my story. I knew that John Cort had the scenery and wardrobe of Eddie Leonard's show, and I wanted lunch. He accepted. I told him I would be back in thirty minutes and I went out and hocked my overcast to get lunch money. I bought the lunch and offered to buy the stuff he wanted. I accepted. Now Sislea, tell him how you got the cast."
"There were a lot of good Negro vaudelle acts to pick from," Sisale said. "The players knew they had little future in vaudelle because of their race and when we told them we had no money but, would not take them from them, then from New York, they agreed to gamble with us. "We had planned to call our show 'The Mayor of Jintown,' but decided that inasmuch as we were going to shuffle along on the road for a while before tackling New York, we would call it 'Shuffle Along.' The name stuck. "We would to open in Trenton, but when we got to the Pennsylvania station Blake backed out." "Do you blame me?" Blake asked. "If had nothing in my pockets but a railroad ticket to Trenton."
"We finally talked Blake into coming along," Sissie explained.
"And what a nightmare was Trenton," Mayer cut in. "After the bills were paid I lacked $20 of having money in Washington but I finally found an uber who was saving for a new suit and upon my promise to send him $30 from Washington he loshed me $20. We had 'guarantee in Washington we had 'guarantee in Washington weeks and moved on to Philadelphia."

Julius Reremendal With a Wave of His
Mouth Rose to Him
M. Rosenthal, "Infernalia"
CHICAGO, Sept. 20—At the banquet of the tenth anniversary of the Wabash Ave. department of the Chicago Y. M. C. M. A. association the Honorable Julius Rosenwald replied to the many meritorious encomiums of the previous speaker of the last session, all the hardest and financial help aggregating millions of dollars we all know, so infinitely about, "infinitimal." He continued, bowing to Mr. W. L. Parker, former business manager and the successor to the late General Secretary of the bus company, whom he paid a great plating, and touching tributes as a friend whose place in his heart was second to none. To these two men more than any other in this country do we owe the great expansion of Y. M. C. A. work in America. It was a gift of that man, of it that raised it from a group of noonday prayer meetings. Mr. Rosenwald said he could not take credit for being a good Christian, but he was a good Christian. Association was a good Christian. It is our candid belief that if Mr. Rosenwald would hold the truth, the answer is what is quite obvious, that Y. M. C. A. work totaling almost $50,000,000 in the last ten years has resulted absolutely from the advent of the great and true hus-

"Negroes" said Sissle, "are naturally clamish, but they look to their white brathem, but they look to their black or leadership. Never forget that a Negro would rather be a big man among Negroes than a little man among whites." The blacks had been handicapped-by your race?" they were saddened.
"Yes and no," she said replied. "Our race has been an issue since I was a hand-cap in our song writing. Put-hers looked to us for jazz music and would accept such, but when we offered more serious the would not take it."
"For example, we wrote 'Baby Bunting,' the song hit of 'Elise,' seven years ago, but could not sell it. Two Hearts in Tune,' another song hit of 'Elise,' also was written several years ago, as were 'My Vision Girl' and 'Of the People,' and others. But the publishers could not see them until after our success with 'Snuffle Along.' "Now that we have arrived, so to speak, the handicap of race has been forgotten.
Do. You Want To Be A Dramatist.
The author of "Wildswater," Otto Harbach, submits the following rules for aspiring dramatists:
1. A play is written to be acted, not to be read. Because a play is intended to read is no reason it will be interesting when played, and vice versa.
2. The only measure of a play is its effect upon an audience; it must make them laugh, cry or think.
3. It is more interesting to witness a happening than to hear about it. Don't talk about things in your play, let them happen. What will happen will more interest in varying degrees, depending on what it happening? "why is it happening?" and "to what is it happening?"
5. Be sure that what is happening in your play is an adventure. Every life, no matter how humdum, has its high lights. These make it more interesting.
6. Don't let things happen in your play simply because you want them to happen, but because your characters want them to happen.
7. What happens should concern one character mainly. Beware of the deadly "divided interests."
8. An audience should be not only curious, but anxious about the outcome of your play. Remember that the fate of loyal characters will interact more people than that of disagreeable characters. 9. The surest way to know a character is to witness him or her under the stress of conflict. A clash of wills is absolutely necessary to dramatic interests.
10. If your play—besides presenting a moment in some human life is supposed to—to point a moral, let the audience discover if it is good or bad. Give a good joke—needs no explanations. 11. Don't arbitrarily limit the audience's exposure to acts, but remember that a modern audience expects to be kept entertained for about two hours and a half—it grows tired if kept listening too long at a stretch, and loses interest if interrupted too often. 12. Start your play with an interest that you can't keep unbroken to the end, so the cool making mayonnaise dressing. She starts with the yolk and an agege—her interest or "permeating ideas," she begins to stir it, adding slowly her "characters" and "episodes"—condiments and oil—dry by drop keeping the growing mixture always in action until it is finished. If it is not, she adds an oil or for any other reason of temperature or condition of materials used. "separates," or, as she says, "goes back" on her, no amount of stirring can save the situation. She must stir all over again.

Mr. Rosanwald emphasized that the contributions to colored Y. M. C. A. buildings, were not so important effects, the knew they were having in the lives of the people, related relations between the races. He cited as an interesting example the joy derived by the former vice president, Mr. Fairbanks, of Indianapolis, who was warded for interesting him to assist in raising the funds for a colored building in that city. In the words of the late Vice President, "Did you say your name was, Rosanwald?" as Mr. Rosanwald said, "National convention, we were meeting thousands each day, 'You are the man who got me in that trouble in Indianapolis. I never had so much genuine pleasure in my work, that, too, off my coat and got busy, but doing it colored Y. M. C. A. down there."

Should there be an outbreak in

Presumably they have power to stop
the tale of deadly weapons. If they

‘The argument for “free trade”. in
