FOOTBALL AS A VEHICLE "Miss Washington" Welcome Sign Holds Out As Philadelphia Prepares Just Before The Battle "Conier Special" Arrives "On Time" 7 initial, our accepted national sport, has been reduced to a purely the sporting feature of the game has been so highly scaled that the game per se is now tabulated among America's known prizes. Baseball is both an economic and a civic in- flict. It is no sense, a social institution. Like baseball, college football is a social, educational and economic it will not assume the economic proportions known to baseball and the fertility of the season of play. Then, too, it is distinctly a social institution with the social phase very highly developed. Institutions have so emphasized the social feature of the sport Cincinnati and Negro institutes of education free institutions how especially adapted is the sport to school and life. The public does not entertain football as a commercial propo- sition of school and college relations. There must be a school or season with or responsible for the game, or it loses its proper function. our experiences show that the game has a decided education and American colleges bear a very happy relation to other. And this relation can be reduced to values. One inservice will suffice to support us: Center College, until we are practically unknown in the educational world. In the year College sent forth a football team of unusual skill and ability, the number of men who reported to the football coach exceeded enrollment of the school in 1915. This was admitted by the colleges to be due to the startling and unexpected success of the years, 1820, 1921 and 1922. It is now accepted that an inexcellible educational value as an attraction for students, and the economic value as an honorable medium of advertisement, as a social vehicle, the game offers our group a decided benefit that is highly valuable. The social benefits of the game shall force ourselves upon us as a group. Perhaps, we have an excellent opportunity to see ourselves socially as we are intercollegiate football games. Here we are socially engaged without criticism from, or contact with, the Caucasian, and for ourselves whether, our own social order is risen, we get a glimpse of the relative differences between us and that of our critical Caucasian. At the game where we come from various localities, bringing as many different custodians, we get a glimpse of our own social units as represented, our half-tutored and our non-tutored folk. It is aided us, and to the observant, the rough edges of our effort, while the finished product stands out in bold. We look back upon football as one of the largest social development. Certainly, we are already beginning it is to enjoy exclusively one's own social position maintained by one's own group, in accordance with our development. It is only a matter of years when we really say to the Caucasian that we are quite grateful for exclusive social order fashioned and made to our own will be as eager to draw social lines against others whose identity is not compatible with our own. ideal to the minds that conceived the idea of an an- twer on our outstanding institutions. Aside from the knowledge we have gained, we make rich and strong in social ideals and stand- boss on, will make us entirely happy in our own "Aces" to Be Watched In Tomorrow's Game PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Nov. 28— As in most cases there will be several outstanding stars, which the public has so often read about, and who will be the vortex around which the game will be fought tomorrow. Lincoln has its two "acces" Byrd and Captain Johnson, while Howard's threat men are Captain Denghey and "Bulldoor" Williams. It is these men who will draw the lion's snare of attention. We advise friend furs to watch them closely. Winner of the Washington Tribune's "Washington to Philadelphia" Beauty Contest, Miss Hamilton, who won out over a field of pretty rivals is a prominent school teacher and member of the younger set. WHERE TO GO WHILE IN PHILADELPHIA—See Page 3 (Special Wire to: The Pittsburgh Courier) PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Nov. 28.—The Quaker City is agog with the flash and flare of college-frocked enthusiasm. Everywhere there is the rush and flory of excited college youths and their loyal followers. Philadelphia is ready to greet the thousands of visitors who are crowding into the city by auto end train. "Welcome" hangs significantly in every shop window. Gaudy muslin streamers stretched from telegraph piles tell of the big athletic feature and the festivities anent the gridiron battle. Lincoln enthusiasts have written "Beat Howard" on large placards and posted them in every accessible place. Howard followers are religiously shouting the merits of the capital city team. All is expectancy, all saviors of the feverish pleasure of witnessing a fair struggle on the football grid by sterling athletes from two most reputable institutions. Automobiles Many The automobiles poured into the city Tuesday night, bearing hundreds of young and old. The license plates are marked Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky, Georgia, Virginia, New Jersey, Rhode Island and Tennessee. There is a general-complaint of inadequate parking space. The hotels are filled and many more are expected Thanksgiving morning. Tickets at Premium Tickets for the game are at a premium. Early last night word was given that several ticket scalers were working among the out-of-town guests and warned visitors from accepting tickets from passersby. The committee announced that National League Park, where the game will be called at 2 P.M. Thanksgiving Day, quite adequate to accommodate the crowd expected. Already the "female of the species" has given evidence of a fashion promenade of rare beauty and richness. Luxurious fur coats. French-made hats that fairly breath Paris, suede and patent shoes of striking combination are worn by beautiful women. A prominent New York woman has a handsome sable coat, made short; worn with a dark-brown velvet gown, the skirt of which is edged with the valuable fur.

Of the 18 games played Lincoln University has won nine, Howard University has won five and four were tie games. The most crushing defeat came in 1920 at Washington, when the Lincoln eleven was beaten, 42 to 0. The highest number of points run up on a Howard eleven was in 1914, when Lincoln won, 14 to 0. Howard has held Lincoln scoreless eight times, while on nine occasions Lincoln has kept Howard from scoring. This includes the tie, 0 to 0, games in 1911, 1913 and 1919. Game Has Become "Annual Classic" In Last Five Years PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Nov. 28. Why have the Howard-Lincoln games become the "annual classics" of our race? Just who is behind the movement, whose the guiding spirit and for how many years have the games really created such fever-interest? A look into the records discloses the fact that the two teams have played 18 games, the first game being played back in 1894. Of these games Lincoln University has won nip, Howard has won five, while four have resulted in the tie scores. It is was not until five years ago, back in 1918, that the games really assumed national importance. Twas (Continued on Page 3, Col. 3) PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Nov. 29. Carryink the largest crowd in the history of a special train from Pittsburgh, the Pittsburgh Courier Special, with a horde of rooters and admirers, arrived at Broad Street Station "On Time" this morning, coming in at 6:55 A. M. The train left Pittsburgh last night at 10:30 P.M. Trains Coming From Big Eastern Cities PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Nov. 29.—Interest in the "annual classic" is at fever here and special trains are due to arrive in the city this morning from all of the big eastern centers. The Hotel Tattler, sending a special train from New York; the Washington Tribune's delegation is coming from the Capitol City, bringing hundreds of students and fans of Howard University, and the Baltimore Afro-American's special train will get in in plenty of time for the game.

BETTING ODDS FAVOR HOWARD TO WIN PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Nov. 29.—Betting odds on the eve of the game are 6-5 Howard, the betting odds favoring the Washingtonians because of the showing of the two teams against Hampton, last year's C. I. A. A. champions. Hampton, it will be remembered, administered a 7-3 defeat to Lincoln, the victory being largely attributed to penalties, while Howard conquered the Virginia eleven, 19-6. But close followers of football, remembering Lincoln's valiant stand of the two past seasons and knowing the rule of the "underdog," to upset the dope, are showing plenty of Lincoln coin. $5,000 Rain Insurance Policy to Cover Game PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Nov. 29.—For the first time in the history of a collegiate football event, the Howard-Lincoln game of tomorrow will be covered with a $5,000 rain insurance policy. This precaution was taken by Dr. W. G. Alexander, Graduate Manager of the Chester County school and its directing genius. "CUTE" CARTER BACK ON HOWARD, SOLED WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 29.—Word has just been sent out from Howard University, the bailiwick of the "Bison, that "Cute" Carter, famed quarterback of former, years, will be on the Howard squad this year. Carter distinguished himself by his all-around play in the games of 1921 and 22, and has been placed on the mythical "All-American." For Best and Most Complete Details of the Game, read The PITTSBURGH COURIER, issue of December 8. PITTSBURGH, Pa., Nov. 28. Two Pittsburghers, former Lincoln University gridiron stars, are among those who travelled to the Chester wilds this week to help the "Lion" sharpen his claws for the big game. C. T. Green, welfare worker at the Westinghouse E. & M. Co., and W. P. Young; former Lincoln star and brother of the Lincoln coach, are the two men. WHERE TO GO WHILE IN PHILADELPHIA—See Page 3 Plan Community House Zoar Church at 1204 Melon street was the scene of wild enthuasism Friday evening, November 28rd, when a citizens' committee (called by E. T. Wright, N. Philadelphia's most active politician), gathered to show in a very tangible manner interest in a Community House for everybody in N. Philadelphia. Without preliminaries Mr. Wright called the meeting to order and said that although in the audience were many very splendid speakers, he preferred that money "talk," and for about twenty minutes men in organized units came forward and you only heard the word "donation" and the gentle ruffle of bank notes until the chairman said, talking from behind a table well covered with money: "I am delighted as your response to this most necessary and inadible work and take pleasure in turning over to the campaign committee $550 as a citizens' rally effort." The After-Money Speeches Mr. Geo. Hilton/ financial secretary of the young 15th Ward Republican club, made an enthusiastic address. He said, "To my mind, you are doing one of the finest things that has been attempted by any Fired At Tro AndPeo Fired At Trolley Cars And People On Street William Adams, of South street, near Eleventh, made things lively for the Nineteenth district police when they attempted to arrest him for firing a revolver at passing trolley cars, store windows and persons on the street. Adams, who it seems was only amusing himself, was reported to be a brother of Alabama Joe, who three years ago held the police at bay for five hours with a revolver. William, it is alleged not only used his revolver in warding off the ceps, but even hurled a trunk and an oil lamp downstairs at them. According to the police, Adams sat on his front door step and entertained himself with his revolver. Hearing the shots Policemen Frazier and White, of the Nineteenth district, hastened to the scene, whereupon Adams darted into the house, Cop's Topcoat Found In Moonshine Plant Director of Public Safety Cortelou has been asked by the Federal prohibition authorities to investigate the finding of a patrolman's overcoat in an alleged denatured alcohol redistilling plant at 933 North Second street, said to have been operated by Joseph Newman. The patrolman is Roger Williams, of the Tenth district, who, it was shown by police records, lives at the house. The dry squad led by William J. McClure, white, supervising agent, reports finding two large stills and a large quantity of moonshine in the place, besides the overcoat. Williams' name and number were found in a pocket and the No. 10 on each side of the collar.

A large delegation, from the 16th Ward club voiced Mr. Hilton's speech by vociferous applause. Mr. Nelson, of the 20th Ward, representing the Progressive club, made timely remarks, gave his personal support and brought club greetings. Dr. Barnes, director, and - Chairman Perry were indeed encouraged by the very outstanding demonstration of Mr. Wright and his community supporters. Mr. Wright said in closing that the community need had been brought to the attention of Attorney John R. K Scott and coining the much used welfare phrase, N. Philadelphia should know just "how much he cares" before the drive ends. Lena Trent Gordon, executive of the Field Department, expressed her deep appreciation to Mr. Wright in these closing hours of the campaign for his co-operation in the Field Department created to weigh the interest of all the people in a people's project. Ernest Wright and the man of N. Philadelphia are all right. Hilley Cars ople On Street fled upstairs and locked himself in a room at the head of the second floor landing. The policemen made several attempts to rush the stairs. Every time the man reopened fire, exclaiming: "I'll make it hot for you." A riot call was sent in and reinforcements arrived to help Frazier and White. Adams had a supply of 200 cartridges, but his weapon became clogged and would not work. He then threw open the door and hurled a trunk down the staircase toward the policemen. A lighted lamp followed, but prompt action on the part of the cops averted a fire. At last the policemen made a rush upstairs and captured Adams, who was taken to the police station. He told the police he had been drinking rum. confiscated the stills and the liquor Patrolman Williams stated that he sold the overcoat, but did not remember to whom. Asked how it found its way back to the same hque where he is living, and in which were located stills, he is said to have stated that he only had an apartment there and never saw the stills. Penn Student Held On Charge Of Fraud Julius S. White, thirty years old, a student at the University of Pennsylvania, was held under $300 bail for court on the charge of defrauding the government of $2.34 while he was a postal clerk at 9th and Market streets.

White, a World war veteran, said he was graduated from the West Chester State Normal School and later taught in a colored school at Coatesville, Pa. He denied he had cheated the government by punching the time clock when he was not on duty. Government officials admit the cost of the investigation and prosecution for White's alleged swindle of $2.34 will be far more than the amount involved, but the action is brought to put a stop to the petty defrauding by postal employees. White was a substitute clerk. Penn Has No Room for Klan The "White, Protestant and Gentile" students of the University of Pennsylvania are living up to the best traditions of Ben Franklin's college in rejecting as an insult the "honor" offered them of membership in the Ku Klux Klan. The Pennsylvanian, the University's daily, says, editorially, "All the highest ideals of Pennsylvania — democracy, tolerance, broad-mindedness and faith in those things which are open and above-board—are directly opposed to the very principles of the Klan." Truck Driver Goes Insane, Two Are Dying PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Nov. 28.—John Cowser, 34 years old, of Tenth street, near Christian, was stricken insane at the wheel of a large truck and statted on a wild ride in Kensington avenue that resulted in a head-on-collision with a trolley. With Cowser were John Rowan, 35 years old, of Tenth and Fairmont avenues; Charles Snyder, 28, of 4830 Salmon street, and Herbert Watson, 23 years old, of Tenth street near Greensboro Both Cowser and Watson were taken to the Frankford hospital in a dying condition. The truck, a mid 8 van, was bound for New Jersey, as it reared Allegheny avenue, Cowser suddenly seemed to lose his mind. Gripping the wheel he put on, all the speed his large vehicle could command. The shouts of a pursuing policeman and pleas of this companion were disregarded as the van swayed from side to side. At Kensington avenue the truck struck a trolley car containing about thirty passengers, several of whom were injured. Both the trolley and moving van were wrecked.

The social schedule is filled with a score of events. All eyes, all attention are centered on the big game. Victory or defeat for one's favorite team cannot dim the brilliance of the splendid setting Philadelphia has made for the event. GAME HAS BECOME "ANNUAL CLASSIC" IN LAST 5 YEARS then that Dr. Emmett J. Scott of Howard University and Dr. W. G. Alexander of Lincoln took over the reins of management of the games. Both men, prominent throughout the country, knew the extent to which the games could be worked up: Named "Annual Classic." In 1918 Dr. Scott christened the big game "The Football Classic of the Season" and since then the popularity of the games have grown by leaps and bounds.

Speaking to a crowded banquet hall of Elks and visitors Mr. Vann pointed out just what Elkdom stands for and what it should do to enhance its worth to the community. Elks, he said, should take part in public welfare; they should impress their communities and help mold public opinion. The first interest of an Elk should be Negro Americanism, just as the first interest of the K. K. K is white, Protestant Americanism. They must be willing to work and they will better appreciate the things which they get. "To him that hath halls be given, but he hath not been given," a common objective, he said, means advancement to all. This is an age of new thought brought about by disappointment and dissatisfaction at the results of the war. The war was won on a false slogan of practical Democracy. Our group has found no Democracy, hence the dissatisfaction and the thinking anew. Elks must demand a square deal. Pennsylvania leads in Grand Lodge assessments. The City of Pittsburgh officially invited the Grand Lodge to meet there next year. Elkdom represents 50,000 united Negroes. Edward W. Henry was toastmaster and other speakers were James C. Avery, E. R. of O. V. Catto Lodge; Chief Antler Hayes, of Coatteville, and Dr. Claiborne, of Savannah, Ga., chairman of the Board of Grand Auditors.

"Mercy has been asked for you," said the Court, "because you have a mother. I cannot ignore the fact, however, that another's mother lost her life through your carelessness. While there is no evidence that you deliberately ran her down, there is evidence: that you had been drinking. An example must be made of those who kill through carelessness and recklessness."

Millions in Mining A GOLDEN Opportunity to Get In On a Bona-Fide $3,000,000 Proposition On An Investment of Only $50,000.00 MAMMOTH STUPENDOUS OFFER OF THE Co-Owner Group of Mining Claims Rich From Grass Roots Down—ProducingFree Milling Gold, Silver and Copper Ore "Tis a long lane that has no turning" is the statement of G. W. Miller, grizzled western financial magnate and mining expert, and president of the Co-Owner Group of Mining Claims, who, with his vast wealth is standing behind this company—child of his own brain—and said by him to be the practical solution the race's pressing economic, social and political problems. Mr. Miller, a true son of the west, that fabled country which we have often read about but few of us have ever seen, has spent 23 years in the vast solitude of that unexplored region, analyzing the country, has come out of that country, a powerful, picturesque figure, typical of the majestic solidarity of the mountains which have for so long been his companions, and brings 'o you a wealth of facts, supported by affidavits of western bankers and business men of integrity. Showing It’s Not a Speculation My associates and promoters in Pittsburgh: Ernest Davis J. W. Jordan W. G. Thornton Tony Watking Mrs. Mary Wingfield Richard Baker A. L. Thornton J. Avery Wm. Thornton, Jr. Here Is the Co-Owner Plan:— Here are the salient and vital points; 1. The Property The property owned by the Co-Owner Group of Mining Claims comprises 700 acres of land in Pima County, Arizona, 60 miles, west of the city of Tucson the county seat. This land comprises one of the richest mining and ore districts in the entire country. These ores consist of gold, silver and copper. The ores occur from native metals, all grades, down to the average milling ore. 2. Not a Prospect The property is already being shown up for sale to big eastern companies. Several representatives of these companies have already been on the ground, and have carried favorable reports back to the organizations which they represent. So you can see that the proposition is not a prospect., Over $15,000 has been expended by the coowners of the company in showing up the property and employees are working day and night to complete the work begun within the next six months. 3. Nation's Storehouse of Gold This 700-acre plot consists of 35 mines. Over 800 feet of work has been done in sinking shafts and driving in tunnels. Great gold-bearing ore veins have been shown up. The $50,000 still needed is for the purpose of completing the tunnels, and showing up to the satisfaction of the corporations interested in the proposition, the coarse gold zone and the zone of secondary enrichment for silver. These zones are known.

There are several millions of tons of this rock in sight. 4. Possibilities of Profit If this property is sold for $3,000,000, the price asked for, every co-owner will receive around $40 for every one dollar invested! This selling price is already in sight, and G. W. Miller, president of the company, is authority for the statement that when the showing-up process is completed, the property will sell for five times what he could get for it at present. This is why he is putting his co-owner proposition before the public, in order that they can line up with what he says "is the greatest mining financial plan ever offered to any people." 5. The Co-Owner Plan The co-owner plan is a novel one, original and the idea has its origin from G. W. Miller himself. The entire amount of stock for sale is limited to $65,000. Of this amount $15,000 has already been subscribed for and the balance is going fast. (a) Co-owner interests sell from $5.00 up. (b) Your money will not be tied up longer than six months. (c) At the end of this time the property will have been sold and you will reap a return of around $40 for every dollar invested. 6. Financial Backing The company has not only the support, but the financial backing of some of the recognized leaders of the race. All who have heard the co-owner proposition, have been convinced of its worth, of the integrity of its president, and the wonderful business opportunity it represents.

Baptist and Methodist Ministers Laud Courier's Unemployment Program Grayson Home for Girls and Coleman Home for Boys Ask Public Help Keep Doors Open to Needy and Suffering. Continuing its investigation into the agencies now at work to relieve suffering and want this winter at the peak of an anticipated unemployment crisis, the Pittsburgh Courier went to two ministerial alliances and got specific details, on their methods for public welfare work later in the season. Rev. J. C. Austin, pastor of Ebenezer Baptist church, has been at his home at No. 14 Juniula street and asked for information on the work his denomination has planned. He referred the Courier man to Rev. John S. Morton, 45 Lombard street, who said he could speak for the Baptist ministers of the city. Rev. Morton gave the representative the following set of resolutions which were offered to the Pennsylvania Baptist State Convention held in this city in October, and which were adopted. The resolutions are "Whereas, there is now and has been for several years past enormous increase in migration of Negro laborers from the southern states into Pennsylvania, seeking employment in mines, mills and factories of our industrial districts; and "Whereas, these laborers are coming into our midst without adequate information as to where and how to find employment and without sufficient knowledge of the social and economic conditions under which they will have to live and work; and "Whereas, without education and organized direction, leadership and help from some source, confusion and suffering among them will result, as has happened in the past; and "Whereas, it is recognized that the social and economic problems which their presence in our midst has created, and will continue to create, must be met and solved by concerted, organized action; "Now, therefore, be it resolved by this convention in meeting assembled, that action be forthwith taken by it with a view to meeting the Woman Sells Children To Come North ATBANTA, Ga. Nov. 28—(By A. N. P.)—One of the queer stories coming out of the migration chois is that of a Negro woman.

The children were given by contract to her brothers-in-law. situation and attempting to assist in solving the problems which this influx of wage carriers is creating, and to that end that a committee be by this convention elected, to consist of twenty-five or more members from and representing the important and larger industrial centers of the State, said committee to serve for one year or until their successors are elected; that this committee be called the 'Industrial Committee of the Pennsylvania Baptist State Convention,' and that after its election and organization it proceed to meet and promulgate a welfare program for assisting Negroes to find work, to educate, lead and direct them in such a way as will best fit them for solving their own employment, home and community problems, and will make them efficient, contented workers and good, law-abiding citizens; that said committee be authorized and directed to secure, if possible, the co-operation of churches, schools and other organizations throughout the State in position to assist in successfully carrying out any program adopted by the committee. Rev. Morton explained that the committee is still in the making, but all plans will be complete within the next three weeks.

Wright Appointed by Gov. Small. Salary Is $7,000 Per Year. CHICAGO, Ill., Nov. 28—(By A. N. P.)—Edward H. Wright, Republican committeeman of Chicago's famous Second ward, was appointed to the highest-salaried position occupied by any Negro in the country by Gov. Len Small, Monday. Mr. Wright was made a member of the Illinois Commerce Commission. The position carries with it a salary of $7,000. It is believed that Mr. Wright's appointment is one of the first big steps taken by the governor in the gubernatorial fight which faces him next year. Wright, it is believed, will prove a puzzle to the opponents of the governor among white voters and politicians, and will bring to the support of Small, the Negro electorate of Chicago. His appointment. it is felt, is not going to favor white constituents, fluences, led by the Chicago Tribune, which have sought to calumnify Small and produce gubernatorial timber that would insure Small's defeat.

HEIRESS WEDS 'MID POMP-SPLENDOR NEW YORK THRILLED AT GORGEOUS SPECTACLE; THOUSANDS ARE AWED NEW YORK THRILLED AT GORGEOUS SPECTACLE; THOUSANDS ARE AWED Marriage of Miss Robinson, Grandaughter of Late Mme. C. J. Walker, to Chicago Physician Unites Two of Largest Race Fortunes in Country. NEW YORK, Nov. 24.—Harlem's loveliest wedding took place today! Garbed, bejeweled and attended like a fairy princess, Miss Mae Walker Robinson, daughter of Mrs. A'Lelia Walker Wilson and granddaughter of the late Madam C. J. Walker, became the bride of Dr. Henry Gordon Jackson of Chicago, Illinois. The services were read by the Rev. Hutchins Bishop in the St. Phillips' Episcopal Church at high noon. Fashionable New York turned out in its most luxurious array to witness the ceremony and reception which followed. New York's socially prominent attended and lent rare beauty and dignity to the occasion. The bride was the granddaughter of the late Mme. C. J. Walker and the greatest of heiresses. She is the owner of the majority stock in the Mme. C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company, a concern founded by her grandmother who, once a laundress, discovered a tonic warranted to take the kink out of the hair of Negroes. She died worth more than $1,000,-000. Her daughter, Mme. A'Lelia Walker, built the business to greater proportions and doubled her mother's fortune. Yesterday's bride, the only child of A'Lelia, inherited the business. The bridegroom was Dr. Henry Gordon Jackson, of Chicago. His father is one of the wealthiest Negroes in the Middle West, having made much money in Chicago real estate. In solemn grandeur this couple were married in ultra-modern style. There was no promise to obey in the service. Nothing so elegant as yesterday's affair has ever been staged in Harlem; very seldom in New York City. Master Verner Tandy, Jr., was ring bearer. Musical Program Tall palms and slender baskets filled with white and chrysanthemums and autumn leaves decorated the chancel and altar; the altar candelabra with white candles enhancing the simplicity and loveliness of the setting. Professor Paul Bolin, organist of St. Phillips church, rendered a program of beautiful music preceding the entrance of the bridal party. The joyous singing of Mendelssohn's Wedding March by St. Phillips' sweet-voiced boys' choir announced the approach of the attendants and central figures of the interesting occasion. Beautiful Attendants The bachelor attends by Mrs. Norman Harris, of Washington, D.C., as matron of honor, and Miss Consuelo Street, of Indianapolis, Ind, as maid of honor. Mrs. Harris was beautiful in a gown of silver cloth, smartly draped. She wore a charming chiffon hat and carried a Shepherd's Staff of butterfly yellow roses, tied with ribbon. Miss Street was charming in a dainty bouffant gown of chantilly lace over silver cloth, with coronet of braided silver cloth and brocaded silver slippers. The bridesmaids, like the maid of honor, were pretty pictures of fairy loveliness in the same styled lace gown and silver accessories. Each carried an ivory, Episcopal prayer book with white and silver ribbon shower. They were Miss Anita Thompson, of Los Angeles, Cal.; the Misses Eunice Hunton, Louise Jackson, Marion Moore and Mildred Randolph, of New York. Attorney-Clarke L. Smith, of Baltimore; Attorney Henry Rucker, of New York; Dr. Libert Lezama, Dr. Ned Chestnut, Bendly Cyrus and Dr. Waldo Alexander, of Chicago, were wives.

(Special to The Pittsburgh Courier) (Special to The Pittsburgh Course) NEWARK, N. J., Nov. 28. —Repudiating in its entirety an alleged "confession" read to members of his church which was alleged to have unearthed a church "love" tangle, in which his wife and a boarder at his home played leading roles, the Rev. Dr. Edgar E. Ricks' pastor of the wealthy Bethany Baptist Church of this city, and one of the leading religious leaders of the East, has made public the letter of resignation which was read to his congregation on Sunday morning, November 11. And backing her husband with another statement comes the intimation in another letter from Mrs. Ricks, that the story, published the following week, seemed to be a well-planned prosecution and "that there is a veiled hand that is endeavoring through manufactured falsehoods to destroy us." The story, as it appeared, was a highly-colored article in which veiled insinuations were cast at the minister's moral fitness. The charges alleged that Dr. Ricks was said to have associated with him a young man named Simmons, formerly of Washington, D. C., and that what was at first thought to be merely a close friend- (Continued on Page 18, Col. 4) Mrs. Thomas Reid, formerly Miss Hazel Wells, of Chicago, whose marriage was solemnized in Richmond, Va., Monday night.

READ "TWILIGHT MADNESS" By DRUSILLA TANDY A vivid, colorful, romantic story of a young girl who decided against LOVE for a CAREER On the Feature Page of this issue Leaves Two Wives And $40,000 Estate Widows Split Sum JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Nov. 28.—(By A. N. P.)—The two widows of John D. Floyd have been satisfied by a decision of Judge DeBose, judge of the County Court here. The two widows were having legal troubles over the disposition of the property left by the late John L. Floyd, a prominent fraternal man of this city. The property was valued at $40,000, and the two widows took the matter into court. John L. Floyd died, leaving no will and two widows, having been married three times.

Judge DeBose decided that the best way to do was to "split it." This he suggested to the widows and they did it, each receiving $20,000. Savage Found Guilty Of First Degree Murder Jury Returns Verdict After All - Night Deliberation, Doomed Man. Shows No Emotion. Lorenzo Savage was found guilty of murder in the first degree in criminal court last Thursday. He was charged with slaying Miss Elise M. Barthel, 20-year-old white nurse, on October 6. The verdict carries a death penalty. The jury was out from 7:45 Wednesday evening to 11:25 Thursday morning. Savage, when the verdict was read, remained calm and expressionless. He was calm and well-poised throughout the trial. Even under the withering cross-examination of State's Attorney Estep he held his composition. Attorney William H. Stanton, who defended Savage, asked that the jurors be polled. Each answered "guilty of murder in the first dee- (Continued on Page 19.

Of Home Owners 30 Race People to Each Home Owned in Georgia and 26 to Each Home Owned in Mississippi, Statistics Disclose. WASHINGTON, Nov. 29. — The philosophy of history teaches that the chief activities of human beings are those relating to the maintenance of life. The production and preparation of foodstuffs are primary, and the next things in importance as an essential to life is shelter. Upon these two fundamental depend the life and progress of humanity the life and progress of a nation, of a race, of a people. It has been said that the ownership of homes and civilization go hand in hand and that the history of one is the history of the other. In this connection it is interesting to note the ownership of homes by the colored people in the rural democratic states of the South, and particularly in the five states from which the colored citizens have migrated so largely during recent years. In the democratic State of Georgia there are thirty colored people to each home owned by a member of tent group, although there are only about eleven white persons per owned home among their group. In the rural and democratic state of Mississippi, where there is no one city with a population of 25,000 or more inhabitants, there is only one owned home among the colored citizens for each group of about 26 colored inhabitants, but among the whites there is one for every group of nine persons. In Alabama the proportion is about 25.4 persons for the colored and 8.8 for the whites in Louisiana there are about 21 colored and only 11 white persons per owned home among their respective racial groups, and in South Carolina there is approximately only one owned home for every 21 colored persons as compared with one for every eleven among the whites. This homeless condition in rural states where both labor and lumber are cheap has been one of the chief contributing causes of the unimproved exodus to the northern states. The colored citizen has reached a stage in his development where he is thinking less about "mansions in the sky" than about a comfortable home here on earth, and the system of exploitation that has been so generally practiced in the democratic cotton states has become exceedingly irkome to him. It has been reported that in some communities progressive colored men who desired to remedy this homeless condition among their people were unable to secure the required surety bonds for their own officers of building and loan associations; and that in a number of instances local officials refuse to permit colored applicants to participate in the agricultural credit system so generally provided to all Say "Bayer" and Insist BAYER ER Genuine Unless you see the name "Bayer" on package or on tablets you are not pricing the genuine Bayer product presented by physicians over twenty-five years and proved safe by Cable Headache Toothpaste Lumbago Emacace Rheumatism Nematoda Pain, Pain Accept "Bayer Tablets of Aspirin" only.

"TWILIGHT MADNESS" By DRUSILLA TANDY A vivid, colorful, romantic story of a young girl who decided against LOVE for a CAREER On the Feature Page of this issue Inability to purchase homes and to live like human beings because of low wages and seasonal employment; inadequate educational opportunities; the denial of citizenship, economic exploitation, "Jim Crow" railroad facilities and the lack of protection for life and property are sufficient reasons to cause, unrest among any group of people. But a person, black or white, who owns a comfortable home is less liable to leave a community, and his life long friends, than is the man who, because of a ruthless system of exploitation, is obliged to live in an unsanitary rented hut. The song, "Home Sweet Home," means as much to the colored as to the white citizen. New York To Have Five New Pastors NEW YORK.

Nov. 29—Thursday marked the Eighth Anniversary of the passing of Booker T. Washington. Without interrupting the routine of the usual week-day program, appropriate exercises exercised the occasion. There have been the usual whir of machinery and the usual assembly of classes, but pilgrims from fourthirty in the morning all through the day have silently made their way to the spot where his dust lies resting. Before sunrise the local Alumni, more than fifty in number, most of whom knew him personally and intimately, gathered around the tomb and paid a formal but fervent tribute to the memory of the Founder. There were personal reminiscences of the man whose memory they love, honor and revere. The eulogy was delivered by Francis H. Gow, of the '06 class. In the course of his remarks, the speaker referred to a recent meeting between Principal Moton and the Honorable David Lloyd George, when the latter said: "I have followed with a great deal of interest the work of Tuskeege Institute. I have read 'Up From Slavery' and feel that I had a personal acquaintance with Dr. Washington." The deep interest of the ex-Premier of Great Britain in the life and work of Dr. Washington reflects, said the speaker, "the esteem in which he is held by the great characters of the world." In all the classes of the day, time was set aside for quotations from his sayings and for recounting his achievements. The tomb is banked with flowers, placed there by nearly 2,000 students and workers. Three hundred pupils from the Children's House, including the little kindergarteners, paid their tribute by classes, reciting quotations from his writings or as in the case of one group, repeating the Lord's prayer and placing flowers upon his grave.

Responsible "Race Riot" Scare Headline In Daily Papers Proves Hoax; Investigation Discloses Prejudiced Reports in White Journals Cited as Reason for Race Disturbances Over Country. LOS ANGELES, Cal., Nov. 29. There was no riot at the corner of Ninth and Central avenue Tuesday afternoon or evening. The flatting headlines of the daily paper extras playing up "Race Riot" were either a deliberate attempt at cheap agitation or the most inexcessible piece of bonehead journalism seem for a long time. An investigation by the New Age Dispatch establishes the fact that a mere traffic episode, such as happens probably a dozen times a day anywhere in the city, was fastened upon for a play-up because occurring on Central avenue and the race issue could thereby be injected. So small was the number involved, so quickly was the incident over, that storekeepers on the corners—and these are of both races—knew nothing of any disturbance and were indignant over the "riot" publication of the daily papers. Here are the facts: An auto being driven east on Ninth street by the Caucasian bumped the fender of a car being driven north on Central avenue by the Raceman. The drivers exchanged a few words and the matter would have ended there except for an insulting remark made by the Caucasian's female companion. She was told to keep out of the argument, and drew other words by shouting that she was not accustomed to hearing a n—talk back XMAS RACE By Bessie Smith, Clara Smith Also Sacr BESSIE SMITH Cemetery Blues... 13001 Any Woman's Blues... 13001 My Sister's Unit Away... 13000 When Tillie, Take Your Time... 13000 FLETCHER HENDERSON'S ORCHESTRA Diette Blues... 5095 Do Doodle Owl... 5095 WE HAVE THEM Order from us any Race Record you we "Specialize in We Repair All Makes of Talking Mail Orders Shipped S "ONCE OUR CUST ARCARO PHONOG 918 WYLIE AVENUE The Funeral Church Modern Facilities for Burials of the Dead 220-4 AUBURN STREET East End PITTSBURGH Phone Hiland 4595 JACKSON UND XMAS RACE RECORDS By Bessie Smith, Clara Smith and other famous Race Stars.

(Afro-Courier Service) BALTIMORE. Md. Nov. 28.—Acquitted by a jury after a short deliberation Mrs. Ida Baxter, charged with shooting to death her affinity, James Mappon, in her apartment at 209 N. Poppleton street, on the night of October 11 walked from Part 2 of the Criminal Court Tuesday a free woman. The acquittal followed a trial which consumed most of the day and which was punctured with highly sensational evidence that bared the life tragedies of a forsaken wife, neglected children, and the other woman of the triangle. Self defense and accidental discharge of a revolver in her hands, but the property of the dead man was the defense of Mrs. Baxter. Jealousy Led to Killing Mr. Baxter, who had been separated from her husband for some time, lived with her brother and a tender couple at 209 Poplestone street. James Mapson, who lived with his wife and two children at 124 Stricker street, became infatuated with her and she accepted, according to her testimony, his love, his association and his money. On the night of the killing Archer Williams, 600 W. Saratoga street, visited John Davis, brother of Mrs. plaster at the apartment. Mapson became enraged and quarred violently with his sweetheart. The two went to her room, when like a bolt out of a clear sky the report of a revolver rang out. Davis rushed to the room to find Mapson mortally wounded with Mrs. Baxter bending over him wiping the blood from a caping wound over his heart. Pointing to the smoking revolver on the mantle she admitted firing the fatal shot. Widow Tells of Neglect Heavily veiled, with tears in her eyes, and a voice evidently subdued by many hours of sorrow, Mrs. Mary Mumpon, widow of the dead man, took the witness stand and told of the long struggle and lost fight to hold the love of her husband and the support it gave to her two small children. On the Saturday night before the killing, she said she trailed him to its home. When admitted her husband made a hurried exit by the back door. In the presence of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph German, tenants in the house, she begged Mrs. Baxter not to move further between her and her husband, mainly she said, for the sake of the children. At this time she altered Mrs. Baxter child her for not being able to hold her husband and stated that she would keep him in spite of wife, children, or anything else. In her testimony she also hinted at a veiled threat made by Mrs. Baxter. It was on the following Sunday that the killing took place. Taking the standen her own do- ference, Mrs. Baxter admitted the kill- ing, but stated that it was done in self-defence and unintentionally. A- cording to her story, Mason abused her because of the presence of Wili- iams in the house and Williams had come to see her brother. He de- tains.

C., Nov. 29.—The extent of some of the "reforms" of Southern prison methods is seen when it was reported here recently that at the Hirifax county prison farm dark cells in which men are chaired to the floor in solitary confinement on a 12-hour ration of six soda crackers and a pint of water have taken the place of the leather strap. It is alleged some men have been kept thus, for violation of the prison rules, for his long as 172 hours. The cells, according to an inmate who had been released, are in a building formerly used for a hospital. There are eight of them. They are six feet long, wide enough to accommodate a man's body and high enough for a man of little more than average height to touch the ceiling by standing on his toes. A mere wisp of light and a hint of ventilation comes through slats at the top. Inside the floors and the walls are ceiled smoothly and the basin door must serve for a bench bed. An opening in the door just big enough to allow a pint cup of water to be shoved through, is kept securely closed except twice in 24 hours when six soda crackers and a pint of water are thrust into the cell. Hanging on the wall by a per. to be seen by all who enter the house, is a leather muzzle, a home-made affair that sprains across the face and locks behind the head, clamping a wad of sheep's hide securely over the mouth.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Nov. 28.—Anunexpected invasion into the room of a rather prominent young white woman by a girl called after afternoon, during the absence of other members of the household spoiled a social situation that was being enjoyed by the first girl and her dark-brown complexioned lover. The startled visitor uttered exclamations of surprise, then she made hasty exit. The snow thoroughly frightened young colored man, half-dressed, beat it down the backstairs and out through the backyard into an alley, since which he has not been seen. Inside Story of What Was Doing. With quick wit, the "caught" young woman ran down the front stairs, she while screaming; "Oh! Oh! A Negro assaulted me." For awhile the ruse was effective. But the unthinking girl visitor had rushed to where several other of her friends was assembled and there she spilled the beans; "Horror of horror." She was nearly undressed; and he, too, and she was sitting right on that Negro's lap! I liked to have died from the shock!" she told them, and that's how the inside story of what was doing got out. Police and detectives, early on the scene, accidentally heard the right side of the black and white story, it was said. The following is what appeared in a local daily newspaper regarding the affair. Story Given to Public. Story Given to Punish. "Police today were investigating a reported attack on a young white woman by a Negro man. Few details of the alleged assault could be procured. According to the police report the Negro attacked the young woman in her room, and then disappeared. They obtained his description, and other information in connection with him, that it is believed will lead to his arrest if he is still in the city or will cause him to be picked up elsewhere, if he has left town. "The young woman was not seriously hurt, the reports indicated, and was able to go to her home today. Her name was not made public. She is not a resident of the city."

MONTGOMERY, Ala., Nov. 29.—Corn shucks are helping pay the way of Miss Georgia Sharp, a 17-year-old Montgomery County girl, through Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. Miss Sharp has always lived on a remote tenant farm, which she and her mother worked. doing most of the plowing themselves. Miss Sharp learned from the home demonstration agent of the county how to twist corn shucks and weave them into chair bottoms, hand bags and hats. She attended, through the offices of the home-demission agent, a short course for boys and girls at Tuskegee Institute, riding for the first time on a railway train. Through new twists and weaves of the shucks, which she learned in the short course, she has been able to secure a number of orders for her work and in this way added to her school fund.

Dr. C. A. Owens in the course of a discussion of the Ku Klux Klan, incidental to his sermon last week in the First Baptist church. "A little encouragement with a leather strap may prove helpful." Maid Told of Wild Parties Gets Beating "Dr. Owens was concluding his final sermon in a two-weeks' revival series in the local church. His meetings have been largely attended and he has been called to Winston-Salem for a similar protracted service to be conducted shortly. He is pastor of the First Baptist church of Lexington, a charge to which he moved last month from Atlanta, where he was serving as the evangelist of the Southern Baptist church. He is a native of Georgia. He discussed the present lawlessness which he declared to be growing rapidly and asserted that the klan is possessed of sound principles and "is a desperate attempt of a band of well meaning men, in an age of lawlessness to secure the enforcement of laws." "With the present movement northward of Negroes," Dr. Owens said, "and in the absence of a race prejudice that has protected the southerners there is the greatest possible danger of the mingling of the races, so that in the future it may come to pass that you will send your daughter to the north for culture and she will come back with a little Negro." "My knowledge of the present Ku Klux Klan is limited, and I do not presume to speak as one having authority. But some things may well be said. This order has done more to acquaint the public with its principles and purposes than any secret order in existence. In my judgment these principles are sound, and in the main I believe the motives of the order to be good. "It is the desperate attempt of a band of well meaning men, in an age of lawlessness, to secure the enforcement of laws. I have been informed that the klan is the only secret order that has for its avowed purpose, among other things, the protection of white blood in this country. On the other hand, there are states that have no law against the mingling of the races, and with a great movement of Negroes from the south to the north, where they will mingle with foreigners from many lands and in the absurd race prejudice that has protected them; there is the greatest possible danger in mingling of the races, so that in the future it may come to pass you will send your daughter to the north for culture and she will come back with a little Negro. "It is not my purpose here to make a lecture on the present Ku Klux Klan, and the methods sometimes employed are desperate in the extreme. When men are eager to take an oath to enforce the law they fought to be properly encouraged by public sentiment and cooperation and in the failure of these little encouragement with a leather rattle." But with reference to the old Ku Klux Klan that met an emergency shortly after the close of the war between the states I wish to say that in my judgment it was the noblest secret order that ever sprang in ex- Telling by cards or grounds is a duilt pastime compared with the taping.

Better than a Mastard Plaster MUSTEROLE WILL NOT BLISTER RELIUS MAYOR Wife Accuses White Woman of Wrecking Home Wife Accuses White Woman of Wrecking Home Chicago Woman Says She Took Husband and Automobile Went Also CHICAGO, Ill., Nov. 28.—After a union of 26 years with her husband, Charley, Mrs. Cora Jones, 41 years old, of 4416 Prinie avenue, has lost him. For this Mrs. Jones blames Mrs. M. Barbour, a middle-aged white woman living at 4318 Grand boulevard. Mrs. Barbour is alleged to have become acquainted with Jones three years ago when he was janitor of the building at 5031 Michigan avenue. Mrs. Barbour occupied an apartment in the building and Jones and his wife had rooms in the basement. During that time the friendship between Jones and Mrs. Barbour is said to have developed rapidly—too much so for the continued domestic happiness of Mrs. Jones. Friday the latter was arrested by the Third district police after she had invaded the home of Mrs. Barbour in quest of her husband. When arraigned before Judge Joseph Burke of the Englewood court she charged the white woman with wrecking her home. In July, she said, she went to the Barbour home and found her husband ill in bed there. Mrs. Barbour, who is a widow with a grown son, was nursing and waiting on Jones, serving him his breakfast in bed, the wife said. Later Jones returned to his wife and all went well until five weeks ago when he let her again. Mrs. Jones knew that her husband had gone back to Mrs. Barbour Friday, when with a grip belonging to the latter, he came in and packed his clothes. That afternoon she went to the Barbour home. Her husband was there. When she appeared he beat her and ilied out the back door, she said. Mrs. Jones was arrested on complaint of Mrs. Barbour, who charged that the former had cut to pieces, a screen door with a butcher knife. The white woman made no denial of the wife's charges and admitted that her son was driving an automobile, but the mother had taken from her Mrs. Jones was discharged by the court and advised to sue Mrs. Barbour for alienating the affections of her husband.

TEN Five big games on Day of Thanks hold the spotlight of the athletic world. Ten elevenes are more equally matched than in any previous year in gridiron history. Four other magnificent frays besides the Quaker City luminary will be sumptuous feasts spread before a hundred thousand eyes throughout the nation. If all of them were brought upon one gridiron and their fans with them, what an unusual and gorgeous feast to behold. About 50,000 people, leaving out you, would be there. Under such an unusual circumstance one would drink in the great tussles between Hamilton and Union at Richmond, Morehouse and Fisk at Nashville, Tuskegee and Talladega at Tuskegee, Wilberforce and West Virginia at Columbus, Ohio, and Lincoln and Howard at Baltimore. Hampton and Union in Tough Midwest Glories. Coach Martin of Union will release his wild Panthers against Hampton in their seventeen annual clash. Union has apparently the greatest defensive combination of the year. No cliven has scored upon by bat, radio or land. Hampton has been defended by Howard, but no other. The Armstrong 'Seasiders' have all-American timber in Gum and Coleman. The former's toe accounted for Union's defeat last year. This year it seems that the Steel lads of the Old Dominion have an advantage over the tables. Union wishes to lick Hampton, who has a long lead in victories. Since their first encounter in 1906 Hampton has won ten times, Union three, two ended in ties and one was forfeited to Union by Hampton. If Union wins the C.I.A. A. title will be in a mixup. Wilberforce-West Virginia The clash between the force and the Yellow-Jackets of the Kawanah Valley will be a big feature at the Buckeye capital. Coumbus will witness the biggest and most colorful athletic event of its kind in its history. Both of these notable teams are exceptionally formidable. Both have fast backfields. However, Hurd and Huff of Wilberforce are two of the best backfield men on any eleven in the country. If Drewery, Cardwell and Eaves of Institute can equal the fleet, heavy backs of Wilberforce a great game will be worth it. The wonderful Each have met defeat but once during the whole season and those were by the very narrow margin of one touchdown. The "force" lost to Howard and the Yellow-jackets fought Lincoln a giant's battle, losing only 7-0. The game may end in a tie. Neither will win by a large score. Morehouse and Fish Old Fisk and Morehouse struggle at Nashville for honors. This will be the outstanding game of the year in the center of the South. Morehouse has lost to no team in the South. Fisk lost to Atlanta University, I.S.S., in a hard fought game. Previous games, however, have little or no bearing on this gala occasion, when old rivals meet. Morehouse will have a third time stopping "Tubby" Johnson, famous all-American back of Fisk. A grid banner is at stake in this battle and the Georgia Tigers will be ferocious in their onslaught. This is my pleasure. When you call me you will go me, I love my own office and treat you personally. Dr J. L. WINSLOW Dr. J. L. WINLOS Dr. J. L.

The game, played before the largest crowd of the season, was a thriller. Although outwitted the Northside team, the running of the first half the Lyceum quiet was leading, 12-10, but the Northside lads overcame this lead, and held on to a two-paint advantage until the last two minutes of play when two field goals and two foul shots spelled their defeat.

POSTON, Mass. Nov. 27. "Can that Cornell off tackle play be stopped?" That's almost a national question right now, with Cornell, one of the few underedged teams in the country, and the only one of the lot that seems to have an even chance, aside from Yale, of finishing the season in that same blissful condition. Every team on the Cornell schedule has tried for three years to stop that killer crash at the thunks, into which Dobie manages to jump a fourman and sometimes a five-man interference. "Can it ever be stopped?" queries the constant reader. There are probably only two men who have ever stopped that play, one a white man, the other a Negro. These two men were playing on the famous Green Dartmouth eleven. One of them was old Gustavus Adolphus Von Sonsenberg, the famous "Iron Duke of the Griadion." He was at left tackle for Dartmouth that day, one November Saturday it was, in the Palo Grounds, back in 1920. And it is doubtful if even he could have withstood the terrific battering had it not been for the dark and massive hulk of one of the game's immortals, a Negro, who stood with him. The mischy Gus, backed to the last bitter limit by old John Arthur Shellburne, Dartmouth's fighting 200 pound fullback, stood there in his tracks, like the rock of Gibraltar, momentarily checking the onrushing tide, until Shelly threw his magnificent physique into the breach. For the entire afternoon the two immortals hurled back the big Red Sea wave. It was one of the heroic chapters THE PITTSBURGH COURIER Norfolk Got $11,379; Skill's Share $17,959 NEW YORK. Nov. 28—Norfolk got $11,379 as his share, 20 per cent. Skill got 50 per cent, or $17,00. The state tax amounted to $2,000. Norfolk also bet $5,800 on himself at odds of 8 to 5. of modern football. Old Gus and Sigblumme, the former with blood streaming down his face in rivers, and the latter with his headgear off, his white tooth gleaning through the bloody froth that rimmed his lips, had the time of their adventures live. They loved it. Time and time again Cornell sent that play ripping. Time and time and time again Old Gus went burrowing in with Shelly hot on his heels. Gus broke the interference and nailed the runner or he'd break the interference and John would nail the runner. And the force of these tackles of Shellburne's. Gus and John linked Cornell that day, while Old Gus grazed teeth. Gus never gotLinked again until another Gus Sonnenberg comes alone with another John Shellburne to trail him into that forest of human red woods. That play is a play of power. It takes power to stop it. And Shellburne and Gus were power personified. Wiley "Wildcats" BeatHouston40-0 Wiley "Wildcats" BeatHouston40-0 AUSTIN, Tex., Nov. 23.—The Wiley Wilciss, who are making such wonderful strides in southern football circles, took the fast and aggressive Sam Huston eleven to defeat, 40 to 0. Although they were defecated last week by Paul Quinn, last season's champions, the Wildcats weren't slowed a bit in their terrible onslaught. Not once during the whole game were they in any immediate danger of being defeated. Much of the playing was confined to Sam Huston's territory. The first touchdown came after several minutes of play of the first quarter, when Captain Gillespie, Wiley's halfback, plunged through Huston's line for a 12-yard gain and a touchdown. In the second quarter, Captain Gillespie intercepted one of Sam Huston's passes and carried the pikekin 40 yards for the score. In the third period Quarterback Hines of Wiley made two touchdowns, Orange and Walker added to the score with two more. Newton and Whitney took the honors for Sam Huston. Summary: S. HOUSTON--40.

With the heavyweight coast extending a distance of 10,000 miles, with Romain, the Canadian champion on one road, and Pirpo, South American "bull" on the other, and Henry Wills, popping up as the champion should take on a brilliant hue in the raids of the border during the winter and spring months. Efforts are being made to match one of these two men, profecially Renault, with Gibbos, and the other with Wills in a maddish elimination titer series, to decide just who is the logical opponent for Dempsey. This might be accomplished, but it is just possible that the gods that be, and the fighters themselves, especially Gibbos and Firpo, are laying back for another chance at Dempsey and would prove rather difficult to approach in connection with any other bout. If the thing were pulled off it would furnish two great boxing carnivals. Another one would be stained, when the winners of these bouts met to decide just who would meet the right to meet Dempsey. Renault has been advancing steadily. Any boxer that can knock out George Goiffrey, conqueror of Tiny Tate, Tiny Herman, Fulton and Johnson in succession is at least due for some consideration. The Canadian can hit, has improved vastly as a boxer and has something on his glove. But after all is is said and done Wills still looms as the most dangerous rival of Dempey, and but for the refusal of Paddy Mullins to have anything to do with Tex Rickard, the major domo of the fistic arena, might even now be preparing for the bout of bouts. Rickard has a strangle hold on the boxing game. With the New York boxing commission makes him a necessary adjunct i. the life of any fighter. Wills is fighting now, and while many are prone to criticize his various tactics, all concede his undoubted ability. Wills Hopes to Get Money Bout in Spring NEW YORK, Nov. 29. — Harry Wills has implicit faith in the goods that be. Recently Wills said he was sure of getting a big money outdoor fight next summer. Wills has things deped out in this manner. If Renault defeats Gibbons this winter (and Wills says the two will meet), then he will get his chance against the Canadian in the spring. Wills had nothing to say about Dempcy. Alabama State Wins From Miles Eleven, 16-0 Normal Gridders Show Bouldering Overhead Attack. MONTGOMERY, Ala., Nov. 29—With an aerial attack that surpassed anything they have attempted this season, the strong State Normal eleven braced here in the last half of Thursday's game and defeated the Miles Memorial gridders, 16-0. Coming up for a gain of 142 yards and in pursuit five out of the 10 which Miles tried, the Tigers showed distinct superiority via the air route. The playing of Moore at quarter and N. Cooley at full stood out for the Alabama. Eastern Snapshots By W. Rollo Wilson Even money is the rule in all bets on the Lincoln-Howard war on Thanksgiving.

John's trainer is a wild Irishman. S. Bey and his wife who are running the camp, are Turkish. Taking it all in all, they have a nucleus for an international battle royal. Siki himself speaks nine languages, but no English. In odd moments he goes from one to another, conversing in their native tongues. Harlem's "world's champions," Commonwealth Five, do not look so good to us, brothers. It seems that Jenkins and Fiall must carry five men's burden. That is too much for a pair of giants and those boys are almost midgets in size, you must remember. That lineup can't stand the gait, folks. John Henry Lolyd, who started the Cuban season on first base for Havana, has moved to his regular position at shortstop. Chacon is covering third. Manager Lague certainly has the left side of his diamond in capable hands. Santa Clara still leads the Reds by half a game. Three thousand grid fans journeyed to Hilldale Park, Philly, on Saturday to witness one of the most bitter struggles seen on the barred field anywhere, anytime. Dunbar High, of Washington, and Bordentown Manual Training Institute were opponents in the fierce struggle, which went to the District boys by a 7-0 score. The M. T.

Af- him as the greatest h of his showing the pose his trip home The column holds no brief for Louis Pai, which is slang for Battling Ski, but we tilt the rain-soaked and dust-streaked chapeau to the Singular One for his gameness and his aggressiveness. Ski proved he had cast iron nerves when he fought an Irishman in Paladin on St. Patrick's Day. And he demonstrated it again in the Garden on Tuesday night. Twelve thousand fans were shouting in a to-him foreign tongue. A hostie press had criticized and belittled him. He had no assurance that there would be a spirit of fair play. But did that snare his anguora? Not so you could notice. He was there for one purpose and that purpose was FIGHT. And fight he did. Often he took two punches in order to land one. He was never going away from Norfolk; he was always coming in. Had Ski been a boxer rather than a fighter the Norfolk person would have been carried out on a stretcher. Had he boxed at long range he would in time have broken his opponent's concrete jaw. Once or twice as it was he had the birdies tuning up to sing a melody for the "Keed." But the primitive in him demanded "five points" contact. He would rush Norfolk and such a fighter is made to order for that hearty. In the infighting Norfolk wore him down and rendered ineffective those mighty drives which had too great a leverage for close quarters. Leo Flynn, Norfolk's manager, still shudders when he thinks of what might have developed in the third, the thirteenth and the last round. In the thirteenth we were all set to "flash" a "K. O. by Sikui," but the Harlem man proceed that he, also, could "take it." He shook off those pile-driving lefts and rights to head and torso and, although in great distress, hung on till the bell. With such a man as Jimmy De Forest to train him Siki would, in one year, be a world-beater. Just now the only thing he needs is technique. He has the heart, the stamina, the punch. After the first few rounds the press writers acclaimed him as the greatest European fighter they had ever seen. On the strength of his showing the Battler has been swamped with offers and may postpone his trip home indefinitely. A whisper—one of those stage kind—comes to us that Oscar Charleston is to manage Harrisburg next year and that that team will be admitted to membership in the Eastern League. Brothers in the West will take due notice, etc. One of those fortunate folk in a 5.50 at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday night was Hunter Johnston.

Last week there was indicted in Georgia Bob Hasty, one of Connie Mack's pitchers, along with several others on the charge of flogging a man and a woman. Of course, Bob denies the charge and, for the good of the game, we hope he is innocent. At the close of the season Hasty lost a hot pitching duel to Phil Cockrell, of Hilldale. If he is a Ku Kluxer we can imagine how he appreciated that licking at the hands of the colored boys. One New York writer says that Siki reminds him for all the world of a big Joe Walcott. He adds the corso of a Sharkey thereto. We do not claim to be an expert at GUESSING, but an analysis of all elements entering into the "classic" gives these results: Doneghy, Crudup and Byrd should be the point-makers. There will be no last-minute snatching of victory from the mud because the Washington boys will get their two touchdowns in the first half and thereafter play it safe. So speakk the G. O. Dope.

Early in the game, it was known that the visitors, fighters in the way through, were out to a real game of it. Led on by playing of Waite and Dalzell only seconded by the rest of the Allwine kept in the running uninterrupted quarter, when "Pappy" in the eastern flash, got under nearthmost the first half, the two fourers along on almost even in the playing of Edmonds, and Poeey keeping the lo- gth to foot.

At the first half, Loendi was the Poey. Poeey had made well goals. Edmonds had drop- hate. Young had caged four, Curt Bettin and Ricks had to go with one apiece. For At- tain Wale, Williams and Dalzell faced for six baskets, Waite had all of these.

Then to add to the consternation, Waite followed with another difficult shot and Attawa was in the lead for the first time during the game. But their lead, and the hopes of their followers was short-lived. At this stage of the game, Posey, who had gone out of the game and had been substituted by Shelton, former Y. M. C. A. player, went back again. Betts was moved to center in place of Edmonds, and then Ricks got started. Smarting under the close guarding of the first half, "Pappy" began getting his hands on the ball. Nine times he connected with the rim in less than 20 minutes of playing, and this spurt was all that gave Loen迪 the lead, although the Homewoodiers continued to fight and protest every inch of the way. The game was cleanly played, and it is said that the same team will be brought back later in the season. Harrisburg Next. Harrisburg's strong and independent floor team will be the next to invade the hair of the champions. Unusual interest centers in the game, which will be played at Labor Temple on December 6. Harrisburg is one of the really strong contenders for national, as well as state floor honors, and with the acquisition of "Scrapy" Brown, formerly with the Baltimore Athenians, the Capitol followers feel that their team has a fighting-chance to win. Specks Moton Coming It is also being rumored that Specks Moton, the elongated New York star, who made such an impression here last season, will be in the Loendi fold are the next game played. If the local management secures this player, the team will well be able to boost a pair of forwards far superior to that of any other in the country. Moton's long-distance shots have won more than one game for Loendi, while Ricks is acknowledged to be the most dangerous shooting forward in the country, inside the 15-foot mark.

Union's Goal Line Still Uncrossed As St. Paul Is Beaten 6-0 In Great Game HOVEY : FIELD, RICHMOND, Va., Nov. 28.—In one of the most sensational football games ever staged on historic Hovey stadium, the mighty unbeaten Union Panther defeated the stellar St. Paul warriors, 6-0, in a spectacular gridiron clash staged last Saturday before a great crowd of local and visiting enthusiasts. Union Not Yet Scored On The game was intensely interesting and thrilling, the contest reaching its climax when the St. Paul eleven ploughed down the field, after Union had scored, to the Panther's 6-yard line, and, with the awarding of a "first and 10" at that point, the visiting warriors attempted to do what no team has done this season, that is, cross Union's goal line, and they failed. Spectacular Line Clashing A veritable "battle of lines" was staged with the Union eleven easily outplaying their opponents and earning eight "first and 10's" to St. Paul's five. The Lawrenceville aggregation, however, proved to be a worthy fee, their heavy line serving as their main means of defense. Corrothers starred at end, while Shields was "running wild" in the backfield; Miller's work was outstanding on the line. W. A. Smith's end was "uncircled," Boffman played a great game, Fentress and Motion shone brilliantly as fullbacks, and W. J. Smith, aided by Merritt, recovered the pigskin behind St. Paul's goal line for the lone touchdown. Barksdale's center was almost impenetrable and Derritt's head playing was a feature of the game. Houston played well, and, in all the Panther "machine" looked like a champion team. Parker, a rugged fullback, played the leading role for the St. Paul eleven. He is one of the few grillers this season who have made much progress through Union's famous "stonewall" line. Williams barked signals in a deliberate manner; Martto starred at end, and the entire line was a real menace to Union's aspiring plungers. Pierce and Bookkins, line stars, battled nobly and Walker proved to be a valuable backfield man. First Half Scoreless After the kickoff by Derritt to St. Paul's 15-yard line, where Turner received and advanced the pigeon 10 yards, the teams clashed fiercely in mid-field for a time and then the scene of activities was shifted almost completely to St. Paul's territory. The reckless dashes of Shields for Union and Parker for St. Paul featured this period. Fentress and Boffman, for the Panthers, and Williams and Walker, for the visitors, were the backs who were gaining most ground. Smith, Guard, Scores The Panthers started off like a whirlwind in the final half, and after Boffman made a fleet 15-yard run to St. Paul's 12-yard line, and it being the fourth down, Derritt kick- Beautiful Keeps Correct Time We Have An A M.

J. Smith, aided by Merritt, recovered for the touchdown. Like a flash, St. Paul attempted to march down the field, but on the 6-yard line the valiant work of Miller, W. A. and W. J. Smith, Barksdale, Corrothers, Merritt and Houston prevented a touchdown. Then both teams opened up an aerial attack in which Corrothers, Pentress, Boffman and Derritt featured for Union, and Parker, Walker and Williams were successful for St. Paul. In the last quarter, the insertion of "Julie" Martin, the stellar half who has been nursing an injured ankle, seemed to give added pep to Union. Martin instantly threw a perfect 15-yard pass to Corrothers; then another, and Union had marched down to St. Paul's 12-yard line when the referee's shrill whistle announced that Union had won.

Phone East 303 and Chemicals fully Compounded by ED CLERKS MOTTO Service Quality Flowers May Battle Siki In Atlanta Sensational Southerner Back in Ring After Lay Off — George Robinson First Opponent. ATLANTA, Ga., Nov. 26.—Word has just come to our office from Walk Miller, manager of the sensational colored middleweight \Tiger Flowers of Atlanta, who has for the past two months been out of the boxing game, due to a broken hand, that the Tiger will resume his climb to the top of the middleweight class this month at Atlanta. On November 27 Flowers will meet George Robinson, the crack Boston middleweight, in a 12-round decision match. Robinson only two weeks ago gave ex-Champion Johnny Wilson one of the toughest fights of his life at Boston, losing the decision by the closest of margins and extending the ex-champion to his utmost. Manager Miller has made repeated efforts to sign Panama Joe Gans against Flowers and has offered him more money than any fighter ever not in a match in Georgia, but since the meeting at Toledo early this year when Gans took the worst pasting in his career, he has steadily refused to again face Flowers. Batting Siki has been made an attractive offer to face Flowers in Atlanta on December 14 and this will be the Tiger's next start after the Robinson match. He will then fill contracts at Jaurez and Mexico City, Mex. and at Havana Cuba. Then Manager Miller expects to pay the East a visit the first of the new year and most any and all of the middleweights that will agree to meet the Georgia Tornado.

WINTER'S AND SUMMER ECHOES By William Dismukes For quite a few years individual ball players of our group have been compared. to individual players of the major leagues, but as teams we have been woefully weak, when a comparison was demanded. Popularity of the game has grown and with the growth a wealth of baseball material has been found and developed to such a stage of perfection that quite a few of our really leading clubs are on a par with the white majors, barring one exception, that of being able to carry a suitable number of substitutes for a season's play. Games played between the Negro National League clubs and the majors for the past two seasons will bear out this fact. of the rival thing sure, we ball brains in a not given any among our groshady hue. The adage, "have its effect if the inter-series grow." At the close of the '22 season the Kansas City Monarchs won over the Kansas City Blues in a series of five games. The season just past: Detroit Stars bested the St. Louis Browns in a five-game series, three out of five, while Rube Foster's American Giants broke even with the Detroit Tigers in a three-game series, winning one, losing one and tying one. Out East the Hilldale baseball club whipped the tar out of Connie Macs Athletics, while numerous instances could be cled where our clubs have played and more than held their own with all-star clubs made up of major league stars. The above mentioned victories were not decided by any flukes, but by hard and timely hitting and superior pitching. I am at a loss to explain why, but city championship series usually played in cities which harbor two major league clubs have been abandoned for the past three years in every city, with the single exception of Chicago, the majors preferring to play teams of color, in post-season games. I, for one, am of the opinion that it's done to bring out some specific point. It's been whispered by some that the Negroes could not play major league ball on account of the wrangling, but in post-season games the decisions of the umpires have been accepted without a murmur, while the play of the field has been clean, to the letter of sportsmanship. Commenting on the comparative strength of the Negro teams and the majors, perhaps, as some people say, the managers have a lot to do with the showing of the clubs.

We a FEW weeks ago a calm man, a plain man, upon whose shoulders had fallen the mantle of authority, stopped at the graveside of a deceased mother to catch, as it were, a torch of light to guide his steps in his new and untried duties. Today, the country awaits his first message to Congress, and the waiting is of a feverish character. The world joins our country in the waiting. President Coolidge is to say what is his policy toward his home problems and toward our multiplying foreign questions. Until now he has enjoyed the silence which has held in abeyance the thought and action of millions. Such is the significance of the very character of the man. Whatever he says to Congress will be said to the world. All mankind may hang upon his words which are certainly to be few, but direct. To anticipate such a man is not an easy task. But, suffice it is to say that his words, whether they please or enrage the waiting world, will represent the very heart and soul of the man. If his political future were of paramount concern to him, we might imagine him seeking favor of factions, blocs, and groups, by some words suited to such units. We think, rather, that the man will deliver his honest convictions, and let the political future take care of itself. It will be a source of refreshing reassurance, if this country has at last brought forward a man who believes that the fireside of the nation is paramount to entangling alliances abroad, or special interests at home. We await to hear President Coolidge.

We would have disclaimed any such progress, and probably ridiculed the suggestion. But we are actually entering the very doors of big business. The many business houses, enterprises and institutions under a successful management shown us in The Messenger, ought to tell us something. The display is one taken from life; there is no fiction in it. We have the business, the men back of the business. It is a reality. If we could establish a better business confidence; a more wholesome spirit of competition; a more stable credit in our dealings one with the other, our big business of today would be a tremendous business tomorrow. Those who have blazed the way must insist upon integrity—nothing less. Promises are worthless things, unless backed by some kind of security, the loss of which would mean serious business retrogression to the promiser. We are in the habit of losing too much in our daily dealings. We are in the habit of indulging carelessness, poor intentions, and business indifference which almost equals dishonesty. Big business is now leading. It will lead other enterprises of smaller proportions; but the leading must be sound, dependable and constant. There is no real reason why we should not develop gigantic enterprises enveloping many of the smaller and weaker efforts. Our capital, if properly pooled, is quite sufficient now to control almost all of our actual living necessities, and many of the modern luxuries. Within the next fifty years we shall have not only holding companies fashioned after our Atlanta institution, but we shall have established among ourselves sufficient business credit to open and operate almost any kind of business our group desires to have. The few big leading enterprises we have are but evidences of our possibilities; they are, for the most part, individual efforts. We shall see ourselves in still bigger business when we develop enough confidence to invest in group efforts instead of individual. The inspiration ought to serve us well in these days of propagation, organization and incorporation of ideas. The right idea with the right management back of it generally yields a big business. Love In Business From The Atlanta Constitution "The doctrine of love is applicable in business," said John D. Rockefeller, Jr., speaking before a group of young business men of New York City. A press report says— He pointed out that "only where service to others is considered first and present secondarily can business reach its highest success." Such an attitude, he added, "made possible the memorable色彩 the bloody coal strike in southern Colorado the gold and brought about the industrial harmony that now presents there, a situation that includes one of the most advanced welfare programs in the world." Commending on Mr. Rockefeller's statement, The Chicago News observes that— "Love applied in business means that today goods will not be palmed off as TWELVE man, a plain man, upon whose e mantle of authority, stopped deceased mother to catch, as it his steps in his new and untried his first message to Congress, fish character.

Such love could be found beneficial today in industrial and professional, in public and private life. If "lost in business" can cover the wide territory outlined by The Newer, then the application of such a rule would bring about an attrituent situation that would reach the border land of a fairy-world. But it is true. There could not be much love unless the gold in rule could be observed. The doctrine of love in business could or should add to the motive of personal gain the motive of promoting the social good. It should cause the recognition of species as a primary aim and distribution of industrial enterprise. WELCOME! H. O. TANNER PENNSYLVAN TO AMERICA IN THE return to America of H. O. Tanner, the artist, we receive not only one of our native sons, but a finished product as well. It is nothing to the credit of America that he is a finished product. He had to expatriate himself to get a chance to develop what God gave him in the form of natural ability. All praise to Free France that any may enter her territory and ply his trade unmolested by prejudice or prosecution. We welcome our Mr. Tanner to his native soil. We hold him up as an example of our group possibilities when given the chance due all men. Without a France, perhaps we could not boast of Tanner, the artist. At any rate, we have demonstrated, with the assistance of France, that Art, like Truth, will accept all men at its shrine upon equal terms, and the accident of color or race is never a qualification. BAPTIST AND METHODIST MINISTERS LAUD COURIER'S UNEMPLOYMENT DRIVE taken care of according to the funds in the chest. oprintendent and treasurer; John W. Hendrickson, of the Pressed Steel Car Company, McKees Rocks, is sec. Rev. Payne also said his church is (Continued From Page 1.) church, is chairman. In spite of the inclement weather several ministers were present. The representative, in outlining the Courier's purpose, said: "The Pittsburgh Courier, being a public institution functioning especially in the interest of colored people, by past experience is enabled now to look forward and see an un-employment crisis when men will be out of work and need something to cover, and relief is forthcoming from some direction there will be a reaction to the migration wave that may result in a nation-wide racial scandal. "The Courier understands that at previous times the churches, social agencies and Christian welfare workers have acquitted themselves creditably and ably in such an unavoidable pinch, but still it believes that more can be done by concerted action backed by an influential press and the general goodwill and understanding of the public which the press can easily swing to their support. "Therefore, The Courier, asks of you gentlemen three questions: "1—Have you already any plans for public community work in case of an unemployment crisis?" "2—If so, what are those plans?" "3—Do you think your present plans can be improved in any way to be of wider usefulness, such as by co-operating with white welfare agencies for permanent charity work, and by naming a general 'Charity Day,' when a fund will be raised for helping to maintain welfare agencies already in operation in the city." The response came readily and heartily. Each minister present unhesitatingly favored the movement and began to enumerate what he is already doing and what he has planned to do. Rev. H. G. Payne, pastor of the Park Place A. M. E. Church, Homestead, Pa., 7 miles from Pittsburgh, said his congregation is conducting a Central Cifarities Drive, of which he is captain. They are co-operating with the white people of that city in building a Community Chest which will be under the supervision of board of directors comprised of white and colored members. Rev. Payne is a member of the board. The city organization is known as the Park Place Welfare Agency and when the crisis comes, all neatly case, white and colored, will be reported to the board of directors and THE PITTSBURGH COURIER Welcome Tanner, the Artist of H. O. Tanner, the artist, we had product as well. It is nothing to he had to expatriate himself to get natural ability. All praise to Free Fr unmolested by prejudice or prosec nner to his native soil. We hold when the chance due all men. Without ist. At any rate, we have demons th, will accept all men at its shrir never a qualification. taken care of according to the funds in the chest Rev. Payne also said his church is doing welfare work within itself. Their method is and has been for the past six weeks to urge the colored men to save at least $5 or $10 a month to go into a local real estate agency which the church has adopted to buy homes which can be rented to colored people or sold to them on low monthly installments. The church gets in touch with those who need homes and offers them the best opportunity it has and urges upon them to accept. Rev. W. N. Young, 1S10 Fulton street, North Pittsburgh, said his church is now organizing for the purpose of helping those in need. Rev. B. E. Evans, Belleveron, Pa., said he would have his church begin work at once along lines which were outlined by Rev. Payne. Seeking further information on the colored social and welfare agencies of the city the Courier representative called at the Ella Grayson Home, 556 Francis street, of which Mrs. Lucy Humes has been matron for 13 months. The Home was founded in 1902, is incorporated and under the management of a board of directors composed of Dr. Charles Carroll, 1301 Boyle street; Miss Grace Lowndes, 3316 Camp street; Mr. John T. Clark, Dr. James Hall and Dr. Winstead. There is a house committee of which Miss. Sadie Hamilton is chairman, and Mrs. Rosie Diggs and Mrs. Bidie Cuts are members. The work of the home is described in a leaflet prepared for public distribution. It says: "A home for the young girl who is without a home of her own and for the stranger in the city. A real home, attractive bedrooms, good home cooking and lovely parlorers, where she may see and entertain her friends surrounded by Christian influences. All of this at a low weekly rate." There are 14 rooms. The girls have an "at-home" evening every Thursday from 8 to 11, when they invite their company, tell stories, crack nuts, make cake, dance and play whist. Mrs. Humes said the home has been in bad favor with the public at times because it was thought that the girls were given too much freedom, but she declared she is doing her best to make the place just as nice as any private family and would be glad to have the support of the community. The Coleman Industrial Home for Colored Boys is located at No. 1721 Bedford avenue, and is under the dispersion of Mrs. Bettie Mae Nyckens. Robert A. Forest, attendant at the City-County building, is su- —By Holloway we receive not only one of our to the credit of America that he a chance to develop what God rance that any may enter her cution. him up as an example of our out a France, perhaps we could strated, with the assistance of ine upon equal terms, and the pintent and treasurer; John W. Hendrickson, of the Pressed Steel Car Company, McKees Rocks, is secretary. The board of directors is composed of Allen H. Kerr, white, lawyer for the school, with offices in the Frick building; Rev. W. A. Jones, pastor of the Central Baptist Church; F. B. Patton, white, of the Pittsburgh Dry Goods Company; John W. Hedrickson and W. B. Wetland, white, principal of the Moorhead school. The building has a capacity for 33 boys and was full last winter. At present there are 25 boys in its rooms. The State formerly appropriated $1,800 annually, but that has been cut off and the home is on the public goodwill for support. An Embroidery club is now working on plans for a Donation Day on November 27, when they will ask the public for sustaining funds. The boys are from 6 to 14 years of age and go to school. Some work after school and on Saturdays. Most of them are orphans, but some are put there by their parents and supported. The Home is confronted with the expense of feeding and collching the boys, as well as giving them medical care. Dr. William E. Franklin of 1805 Wylie avenue, gives his services free, and Dr. Henry Brown, of 1803 Wylie avenue, examines the boys free of charge, when they are sent to him. Over $100 in foodstuffs, a new front porch, $60 in chairs and help on electric light fixtures have been given by the Embroidery club of which Mrs. Lillian P. Harris, 2604 Wylie avenue, is president, and of which the following ladies are officers and members: Mrs. Susie A. Tate, 2334 Beiford avenue, secretary; Mrs. Milred Thompson, 2906 Wylie avenue; Mrs. Ladonia Speedwell, 1118 Pennsylvania avenue; Mrs. Mary Thompson, 730 Junilia street, and Mrs. Alice Denny, 2313 Webster avenue. Each year the Missionary Circle, white, sends a donation, the Shriners, white, send foodstuffs and a check, and send Santa Claus on Christmas, and the Newbsby's Home, white, gives the boys their Christmas dinner. The house committee is launching a $1 drive on December 6, when each person in the city will be asked for a contribution. Mrs. Nychkens said the home is often in hard luck and doesn't know where the next penny is coming from. The different drives that are being launched now are frantic efforts to keep from closing the doors. Unless the public takes a deeper interest in their work, she said, they will be compelled to suspend. Garvey's "Sell-Out" By Floyd J. Calvin The Negro World, in answering the alleged Garvey "sell-out" letter to a United States senator published by The Courier three weeks ago, admits all the charges made by The Courier, but gets pessy because the editor said if Garvey did write the letter he "revolts at the idea, and views it as insidious." But The Courier also said "As long as Garvey confines his activity to interesting Negroes in electing to go to Africa at their own expense, we have nothing to say. Since some Negroes just delight to be fleeced, we are as content to see Garvey fleece them as any one else." As a defense of Garvey's attitude, As a defense of Garvey's attitude, the Negro World states: "It is strictly in line with Mr. Garvey's business to further the idea of creating a Negro state in Africa, to which those who want to go can do so. In seeking the opinion of United States senators upon the question he is equally in line with his business, which is legitimate business." This is false. Senators are officials who speak with the authority of the people. If a senator commits himself in favor of Garvey's program, technically speaking, one half the population of a state says it wants Negroes to leave this country and go to Africa. This would be a terrible dilemma if for no other reason than its obvious inconsistency. The people of a state have sworn, through their state constitution, to uphold the national constitution, and the national constitution guaranteed that Negroes are citizens just as much so as white people. Then if a senator, as such, said "Yes" to Garvey he would be liable to impeachment for violating his oath of office. The Courier has given Garvey leeway. So long as his "personal magnetism" can draw Negroes, let him draw them. But it is not his business to seek the aid of government officials, and even if it were, the business would be illegitimate. There is a big difference between the elected representative the people and the people in the street. The Negro World also states: "Robert Vann edits The Pittsburgh Courier when he is not practiced law or playing politics." It is very evident that the man who answered The Courier's editorial is not a lawyer. Whatnot Column By Robert P. Edwards (For A. N. P.) What condition of affairs existed on this continent the time of the first colored convention? Emancipation had just taken place in New York, and had just been arrested in Virginia by the Nat Turner rebellion and Walker's pamphlet. Secret sessions of the legislatures of the several Southern States had been held to deliberate upon the production of a colored man who had coolly recommended to his fellow blacks the only solution to the slave question, which, after twenty-five years of arduous labor of the most hopeful and noble-hearted abolitionists, seems the forlorn hope of freedom today—insurrection and bloodshed. Great Britain was in the midst of that bloodless revolution which two years afterwards, culminated in the passage of the Reform Bill, and thus prepared the joyous and generous state of the British heart which dictated the West India Emancipation Act. What is the origin of the word TARIF in referring to customs duties? Tariff was originally the name of a Moorish (African) chief who, having a port in Spain, Gibraltar, was accustomed to levy toll on passages. His toll became a regularly understood thing and the amount was added to the price of the goods. What did Gen. Thomas Morgan say of the Negro troops at the battle of Nashville, Tenn.? Gen. T. J. Morgan, speaking of the courage of Negro troops in the battle of Nashville, and its effect upon Maj. J. George H. Thomas, says: "Those who fell nearest the enemy's work were colored." Gen. Thomas spoke very feelingly of the sight which met his eyes as he rode over the field, and he confessed that the Negro had fully vindicated his bravery, and wiped from his mind the last vestige of prejudice and doubt.

Philip Randolph and Chandler Owhe, the Messenger's editors, are brilliant men, but they were led off by the radical forces during the war and are just now getting back to normal. In 1918, when The Messenger was begun, it started as The Hotel Messenger, similar to what the Hotel Tattler of New York is now. It was chiefly interested in the social life of colored waiters and hoped to gradually develop a union similar to white unions. Mr. Randolph had been a waiter himself; Mr. Owen had been a painter. Both were interested in developing group consciousness among Negro workers. But once the magazine was started he became the injustice against Negroes to be treated by The Hotel out, finally to the exclusion of the Hotel part of their program, and changed the name to just The Messenger. The editors were vigorous writers and once started attempted to go to the bottom of any question. They analyzed lynching in terms of economics with a historical background; exploited pennance with a capitalistic interpretation; and attacked race prejudice with a vengeance. Both were socialists because they fancied they saw nothing in either the Republican or Democratic parties, but had faith in Debs' program because its principles were embedded in human fairness and equality, even if its practices were to the contrary. Times were good immediately after the war. Wages were high and everybody was at work. Negroes were dissatisfied with the treatment they had received overseas and The Messenger played this to the limit. The maiden had a regular booze. But it is a strange commentary on the practicalities of those two brilliant economists that when times were good they made no preparation and took no thought beyond editorial prophecy of the inevitable slump in industry that was sure to come. In these days 1920-20 they were at the zenith of their power. Both gave lectures on economics in history as contained to the Negro in the Rand School of Social Science; both were greatly in demand as public speakers before white audiences both were commented upon and praised widely by the white press. But hard times really came even as they had forseen. The panic struck. And one of the chief sufferers was the Messenger. It retreated gradually until finally it was published only now and then. Its subhead was changed from "The Only Radical Negro Magazine in the World" to "A Journal of Scientific Radicalism," and now to the "World's Greatest Negro Monthly." When good times returned this year The Messenger had lost its broad, international character. But it didn't give up without a struggle. It continued to daily with its old ideals at least editorially the World Debacle," the World As It Is," "International Scabbing" and "The Ruhr were pointers indicating their affect for a lost love. It harked back to the days when they felt effusively on "Public Heart," "Propaganda," "Woodrow Wilson," and "Soviet Russia." The old line had lost its appeal. It was never genuinely appreciated, but was admired because it hadn't been done before by Nerroes. Now The Messenger, like a prodigal son, is back. It left the Negro race and became "international". It saw the Negro problem only as a humanitarian problem—"any people similarly situated would do as the Negro—take the Russian peasants for example—take the East Indians—ireland is struggling—there is the brutal hand of capital—workers prepare for the New Day" — but they are back now to help the Negro in particular. Who rememberes how they blasphemed Moton —("that hat in-hand, me-too-boss, Uncle Tom Xegro") — and now Moton writes for The Messenger, Pickens was once their seep-gout, and now Pickens is a contributing editor. The Messenger is welcome back into the racial fold. It is a brilliant mouthpiece and we need its energy. Its editors have learned at least this much: Water can not rise above its source. NOVEMBER 11 was also Mary Mary's Day. It was so observed by Norwegians the country over because fifty-four men of the fau- mous twenty-fourth Infantry are now in Leavenworth prison for participating in the Houston riot of 1917. Judge John W. Willis, white, speaking to the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in Minne- apolis, said: "I believe in law and order. When a man premeditates crime Own a Home I have no sympathy for him, but these men, though they did wrong so far as law is concerned, are without doubt eligible to pardon. They have been the victims of southern prejudice and ignorance and if there is penalty to pay they have fully atoned by their six years in confinement." If public sentiment will free these men by all means let us free them. Thirteen of their number were hanged—a sad fact when remembered with the Brownsville riot under Roosevelt. The 24th had a brilliant record; it was the victim of jealousy and prejudice. Southern whites were envious of their reputation they had suicide Mexico and heaped insults him high. In rash moments the 24th paid, but the remaining few should have the benefit of executive clemency. THE New York Herald is anxious about immigration. It says: "Even the Southern members are reported to be afraid of amending the immigration law to admit the European labor that the North needs. The labor organizations want the bars kept kept up and the politicians are afraid to buck them. The result of the present law is high rents and high prices generally. In the South, where many plantations have had to reduce their cotton crops a great industry may be preemently injured. Until the immigration law is made same both the North and South will suffer." This is a capitalist speaking who is more concerned about production and profits than about human welfare. This same New York Herald waged a relentless campaign against the Soldiers' Bonus and characterized the proposed legislation for war veterans as an indefensible raid on the U. S. Treasury. But back to immigration. We are flatly against it. There are enough men in the country now to insure normal prosperity. With the winter coming on even now thousands are being thrown out of employment. If the gates were opened at Ellis Island, New York, we would soon have such a horde as would crowd native Americans to the wall unless restrictive measures were used. But the Herald is worried about cotton. Either new and more efficient machinery will have to be invented or the option or it can't keep pace with other leading staple. The life of the cotton grower is too sorid and narrow. The pay is too uncertain. Europeans would not produce cotton to any considerable extent. They have been tried before in South Carolina and Mississippi. In the first place the Southern whites are hostile to them and make their social life miserable. Secondly, they are not adapted to that kind of work. They are more of an urban and factory class. There is no use suggesting that Negroes go back South to make room for Europeans in the North. It is true that high wages drew them up here, but now that they are here there is small chance that they will all go back. The difference between the two sections is too obvious. There was more than high wages to push the migrant out. The unpleasant contacts between the races in the South was the other factor. Even if the bottom should fall out of the "roseate promises" the Negro would not be ready to start an "exodus" back. The factors which were behind his coming will face him each time he looks southward. Hence he had just as well hold or here. PROPERTY owner in Chicago wrote one of the colored editions "The way these folks are housing the best neighborhoods in the city is getting to be crime and I suggest that you interest yourself in looking the residential sections over. In every house on the boulevards where we live when you look in the windows you will see a sign advertising "hair culture" or moving vans. I think that business should be conducted in business neighborhoods and the property in our best districts should be maintained as residences pure and simple. One man put up a soft drink stand in front of his yard and whitewashed a beautiful oak tree in the yard. This was done on Vincennes avenue, and another man had an old sign for "Cleaning and Pressing" nailed on his window on Michigan avenue. These things have got to stop and I wish that you would use your great influence in looking into this and putting a stop to it. Our property will keep on getting cheap if this is allowed." This letter needs no comment. It is self explanatory. It goes for every city where Negroes live. FROM a recent issue of the Association News, a Y. M. C.

Her tall, slender figu THE crucial moment had come, all too soon! Irma had hoped to put off the ordeal to a later day, but now it had happened and there was nothing to do but face it—decide tonight between love and ambition. She threw a soft garment about her bare shoulders, seated herself at the little white dressing table and loosened her long brown hair, preparatory to reining. Irma was not a beautiful girl, but the reflection in the mirror was altogether pleasing. She was very fair with large drooping gray eyes and classic features. Her tall, slender figure was well formed and gracefully carried. The gods had crowned her with a wealth of dark hair that hung like a cape about her. All the strange qualities of a "peculiarly mixed ancestry seemed to make up her soul, which lighted her counterfeit. She stared in the mirror before her, as if she were a total stranger to the image therein. Ah! the hope she had given him, the encouragement—she had kissed him. what God intended for us, and it is love that makes it possible for us to do so. If I did not love you I would find and love you here on the rocks with you watching the gleaming, moaning deep, utterly bewitched by the veiled mystery. No more could I want other than that I may have the undisputed right to care for you and that we may enter the Enchanted Garden together. We have known each other He had come to see her that evening and, charmed by the balmy spring air, the dim moonlight and the gentle moan of the sea, they had walked down to the shore and watched the glistening waves glide in. He had told of the strange countries and customs that lay beyond the great expanse of water; of the good and bad spirits in the heathen lands; the ghosts that walked at midnight in the temples of the ancients, and the Enchanted Garden of the Gods, where love was born and where dwelled Sorrow and Happiness, the offspring of Love. His deep voice had carried her away from the struggle and strife of the present to the days of spirits, of gods, of angels, of song; to the days of pure love, relish and incense burning; the days of classic culture and true beauty, of creative art and spiritual ambitions. She had forgotten the present and its evils, the every day grind for sustenance, the oppression of the weak, the faithlessness of the many, the wrangling of the nations, the sins of the world. How could she have thought of these, when the man she loved had wafted her to fair reals on an enchanted night? "I should like to live in an enchanted garden just for a day, Bob," she had said. "Where I could eat fresh fruits and not worry about the cost, sip milk from a golden cup and know that it was unadulterated, wear comfortable clothing and not feel out of style and have perfect contentment—just for a day." "Perfect contentment—and you excluded me from it all. Would you be happy without me, little girl? Am I unessential to your happiness? he asked wistfully. "Oh, I meant that you and I should be there together, Bobby. It would be awfully lonely there by myself, and then one can appreciate happiness so much more if he shares it with another, n'est-ce pas?" "Yes, that is life—sharing one another's burdens and fortunes. It is ne, all too soon! Irma had hoped later day, but now it had hap ing to do but face it—decide to on- about her bare shoulders, seated ing table and loosened her long ring.

If I did not love you I would find no pleasure in sitting here on the rocks with you watching the gleaming, moaning deep, utterly bawished by the veiled mystery above. No more could I want other than that I may have the undisputed right to care for you and that we may enter the Enchanted Garden together. We have known each other a long time, Irma. We have the opportunity to study each other and know whether we are mates. It is up to you now to complete the story. Shall we end it or shall we go on together to eternity?" SHE was very silent. The greatest moment of her life had come. She had reached the fork of the road. Which should she take? She could not think, she could not speak—she just stared out on the silvery path of the moon. "Don't tell me tonight, dear. Dream over it, and if you choose me come up on the crest at sunrise and we shall watch the dawn of a new day together. May I hope for happiness? Kiss me, my sweet." Mechanically she had leaned toward him and offered her lips, not realizing the boldness of her act. "I could have won the war by myself. If I had had you by my side, dear." Now just one more and then you shall be free: they had climbed the rocks and walked home. It seemed they were afraid the least noise might have broken the magic spell that hung over them. "This has been a wonderful evening, I shall never forget it," he had said when they reached the old rusty gate. "No, I'll not go in. It looks as though your mother has callers. Be good—and good night, little sweet." She had watched his tall figure disappear into the night. He was quite the handsomest man she knew. She remembered how his raven black hair shone in the moonlight, and how so many times she had compared his complexion to "coffee with cream." Long after he had vanished in the darkness, after the sound of his footsteps had died in the distance, she had stood by the gate and dreamed—dreamed of a wedding in June, when all of nature is at its height and when everything seems happy and gay; dreamed of a little cottage by the roadside, all covered with roses SO CLOSE HE CHEATED HEN Wife Tells How Husband Made a Rooster Set.

LANSING, Mich., Nov. 30—The annual cost of owning and operating the 14,000,000 motor vehicles in the United States is approximately $9,600,000,000 and the investment in these vehicles probably is about $10,000,000,000. A. R. Hirst, Wisconsin state highway engineer, declared in an address before the Michigan Good Roads Association. He said the cost of operating motor vehicles is more than one-half of all taxes. He urged that motor vehicle owners' payments for highway service should be measured by the benefits they receive and declared that taxation upon motor vehicles should not be uniform, but vary with the highway facilities of the various states. He advocated a valuation tax, licensing by weigh, "police power" licensing, and a motor fuel tax, but opposed imposts by counties and cities and nestled among the trees and shrubs; of little baby arms about her neck, the patter of tiny feet and chatter of infant voices.

REGAINS LOST RING THRU VIVID DREAM REGAINS LOST RING THRU VIVID DREAM Girl Is Aroused by Words Flashed on Wall. Recovery of $2,000 Gem Is More Mysterious Than Was Its Disappearance BOULDER, Col., Nov. 30.—One week ago Miss Dorothy Wynn, a Boulder visitor from Oklahoma City, carelessly laid her diamond ring, valued at $2,000, on the rim of a washstand in the rest room of the courthouse building here. Several other women were in the room at the time and when Miss Wynn reached to pick up her gem it was gone. Days went by; the loss was advertised in the local papers and all efforts to find the jewel were unavailing. Now, however, Miss Wynn's again in possession of her ring, and its recovery is far more mysterious than was its disappearance. On a recent night, Miss Wynn, who is the guest of a hotel, is said to have had a vivid dream. In her vision the word "look" appeared on the wall, the foot of her bed in glowing letters. Then the word "in" flashed into view, followed by the words "the flower pot." The words, all in large capitals, it is said, resembled a bright electric sign that had suddenly burst into a commanding sentence: "LOOK IN THE FLOWER POT." Now, during the evening some one, unknown to Miss Wynn, had placed a large American beauty rose in a porcelain flower pot in her room, the receptacle being well filled with black dirt which had formerly nourished a geranium plant. The letters on the wall seemed so bright, according to her story, that she finally awakened, struck a light and went to the flower pot. In removing the long-stemmed rose to inspect its interior, the beautiful flower tipped slightly and out dropped Miss Wynn's sparkling ring, none the worse for its several days' sojourn in "parts unknown." Mrs. John Parker, theker of the most station, as in the employee label where she is stopping, are all quite as mystified over the return of the valuable jewel and it is the opinion of all that the giver of the rose will never be discovered, while the vivid letters of Miss Wynn's dream is something that none will even attempt to explain.

The men set out with their dogs to flush a swamp for birds. Louis barking and a great commotion in the swamp led the hunters to investigate, when the bear ran into the clearing where the hunters were. It stopped at intervals to slap at the dogs, who were snapping and hitting at its heels. As the bear rose on its hind legs to give the dogs battle he was brought to the ground by a volley of the fine shot. Regaining his feet he attempted to escape, but several more shots ended brun's career.

NEW YORK, Nov. 28.—According to a letter from Joseph Mirault, Haitian correspondent of 108 West 141st street, this city, another crime has been laid at the door of the American Marines in Haiti. He writes: "Mrs. Andre Nicolas, married only five months ago, was returning home from church at about 9 p.m. when she was seized by two marines, who attempted to assault her; but, she fought them off and yelled for help. Her husband, who had just got home from work, hearing her screams, ran outside to his wife's assistance, but was shot down mercilessly. Up to now nothing was said to them, and it is said they will not be brought to trial for their inhuman act. "This crime was committed in Jacmel, Haifi, on the 21st of last month.

PARIS, Nov. 29.—As a result of various inter-racial clashes, occurring between tourists from the southern portion of the United States and colored people, which called for drastic action on the part of the French Foreign Office, general discussion of race prejudice is occupying the editorial expression in the leading French journals. The tone of sentiment thus editorially expressed, extracts of some of these given herewith, is unanimous in condemning the affrontery of the Southerners, especially in their attempt to make French customs conform to their prejudices. The editors seem to agree that the admonition to the Southerners should be: "We have no race prejudice here; so leave yours at home." Le People—"Such manners are inadmissible in France. Foreigners should know that the black citizens have the same rights as white persons, even if the latter are rich, gay Americans."

Just why the couple walked eight or ten blocks from Market to Choutau street, when it is known that the girl refused to go out at all with the young man, still remains a mystery. It is the belief of the St. Louis colored population that Level lured the girl to a colored neighborhood, shot her, they thought it would be an easy matter to fasten the crime on a colored man.

THE PITTSBURGH COURIER Threatens Life of Sweetheart,Then Kills Patrolman Threatens Life of Sweetheart,Then Kills Patrolman HUNTINGTON, W. V., Nov. 28. -Huntington was thrown into excitement last Saturday night, and has not yet recovered from the shock of the shooting and killing of Officer Charles Ball, a patrolman of this city. Reports differ as to the origin of the trouble, but as far as has been learned a colored girl went in search of the law for her sweetheart, W. N. Brown, who she claimed had beaten her and threatened her life. She found Patrolman Charles Ball, who went in pursuit of Brown. When he found the man he attempted to put him under arrest, but Brown broke loose and ran away. The policeman threw his mace to stop him. Brown ran around the corner of a building followed by Ball. It is claimed that the officer drew his pistol and fired once at the man, but the fire was returned by Brown's pistol; the bullet from the latter's gun burying itself in the muzzle of the officer's weapon. Brown then continued to fire at the officer, three shots taking effect, and each one sufficient to cause death. Brown then left the scene of the shooting, made haste to his home on Artisan avenue and left in a hurry to some point which has not been discovered. Dillig search has been kept up since the hour of the shooting. Excitement is running high, and some threats have been made. The shooting occurred on Eighth avenue, just above Sixteenth street.

Teeters, 2420 Montgall avenue, is the subject of the first article on "Old Timers" published in the Commerce Pulse, the house organ of the Commerce Trust Company. The article on Mr. Teeters follows: The oldest employee in the Commerce family is George W. Teeters, who began his banking experience in the old Union National Bank August 1, 1993. George was born in Fayette, Mo., in 1863. His father was a slave. When George was seven years old the family moved to Huntsville, where the lad attended public school for eight years. Then he came to Kansas City to live with Rev. R. Rickettts, pastor of Allen Chapel, A. M. E. and served as the preacher's secretary. Later he became a letter carrier for a period of about ten years, and then went to the Union-National Bank as Janitor and messenger. In 1908 that bank was absorbed by the Commerce, and one of its valuable assets acquired by us was George Teeters.

Of course, the great demand for blues songs is naturally bringing inferior numbers on the market, but the originality of the music still makes its appeal irresistible." Loves to Drive Car. When asked in what manner she spent her leisure hours, the singer declared that she enjoyed the quiet of her New York home and was very fond of fiction. But right here her husband and business manager, Mr. Ocey Wilson, laughingly interrupted, "The thing she likes to do, above everything else in this world is to drive that Lincoln machine of hers," he said, "And really I have never seen a more skillful woman driver. She has been driving three years and has only had one accident, and that occurred when she ran the car into me one day. I'm still wondering though if that was really an accident or whether she just decided that was the best way to run over me." Mamie "Smith and her Jazz Demons intend to tour the Middle West during this season, featuring such new blues numbers as "Alexandre's Wedding Day," "Kansas City Blues" and "Don't Mess With Me."

The wholly amusing character who walks the stage in the "Place of Business" skirt is an utterly different person from Eddie Hunter, the writer of plays and student of dramatic art. "I find little time for anything but work," he said. "I am engaged in writing a new play now and writing to please the public has its difficulties." Hunter's life is an extremely busy one. He believes that the possibilities of the Negro on the stage are boundless. "But we must develop along our own original lines to get the best results," he said.

Jackson (In The Billboard) When the Negro Grand Opera Company, a Freeman family dream of years, opened at the Lafayette Theater, New York, November 12, the house completed the record of having everything in the way of possible indoor entertainment. More or less successfully it has seen Negro artists and white ones offer its colored patrons "low-brow" and "high-brow" bills with every variation that comes between these extremes. Three very evident conclusions are arrived at from the week's performance of "Vendetta," a very pretty three-act opera: 1. First, a colored composer can write really good music. To listen to the orchestra, which, by the way, was carefully selected, play Professor Lawrence Freeman's scores was in itself a whole evening's joy. Second, while nature has endowed many of our race with most excellent voices, voices of entrenching beauty, the lack of opportunity for experience in work of this character will keep postponed for some time the race operatic company of standard merit. And finally the lack of enough cultured patrons sufficiently educated to appreciate grand opera enough to support it is only too obvious. A successful week in this theater requires 8,000 patrons. There are not so many lovers of high-grade music among the 200,000 members of the race in New York, veneered pretenders to the contrary. Less than half that number responded to the very heavy billing with which Valdo Freeman, who had charge of the business end, had placed. The young man made a most efficient effort to apprise all the Negroes and as many of the whites whom he thought might in any way be interested. Each night's performance was witnessed by a few white persons, but if one-third of the many race members of the many cultural societies with which Harlem abounds had attended there would be more reason to have hopes for more frequent opera performances by race artists. Carlotta Freeman, Cecile DeSilva, Taylor Gordon and Valdo Freeman were especially good. The woman who played the witch did a nice bit of character work. The fellow who played the servitor to Freeman, while of good voice, was an actor of such poor qualities as to be hopeless, in fact, the audience snickered at both his work and his very insistent efforts to intrude upon the stars when taking curtain calls. The ballet was just what one would expect from an amateur group—sincere effort without uniformity of movement, emphasized by a very apparent self-consciousness. However, the ballet meant well and with more training would acquit itself satisfactorily. By A. B RICE The General Committee of Arrangements for the International Conference of Knights Templar, Imperial Council Order of the Mystic Shrine, and Appendant Orders for 1924 will meet Sunday, December 2, instead of Sunday, December 9. Owing to such a large delegation leaving Pittsburgh on Saturday night, December 8, to attend the annual session of the Annual Session of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of the State of Pennsylvania, convening in Philadelphia Monday, 10th and 11th, and the Grand Royal Arch Chapter, convening on the 12th, makes it necessary to hold our regular meeting on December 2, as there will be business of great importance. We wish the members of this community would take due notice and be governed according, Jericho Lodge No. 20, F. & A. M., celebrated their twelfth at Smith's Hall, East End. The meeting was well attended by Past and Present Grand Officers of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of the State of Pennsylvania, and especially of the Seventh Masonic District. Stirring addresses made by Past Grand Master of the state—Brother John C. Morton, and the present District Deputy Grand Master, Brother Thomas A. Brown, followed by Grand Lecturer Brother James Matthews of Swickeyley, Pa. Jericho being one of the young lodges in the Seventh Masonic District, chartered under Brother John C.

Mr. Hunter is now singing for the Victor Record Company. Two of the records, "Complainin'" and "I Got," are already out, and on Friday two more are to be made over at the Victor studios in Camden.—From Philadelphia Tribune. The augmented orchestra under Professor Freeman was the outstanding feature of the evening. Even "Battle Ax," the house drummer, with a jazz reputation, rose to the demands of the score in an impressive manner. Every musician in the group deserves credit for his contribution to the artistic success achieved. The costuming and the scenic investiture were just about perfect and must be commended. The production as a whole deserves a tour of the big city theaters and a visit to each of the educational institutions of the race, but it is obvious that the thing can not be done on a commercial basis, for it would be education for us that is well worth being paid for on that basis. After such a tour the more general field could be approached with some degree of confidence. Otherwise Professor Freeman had better sell his series of operas with the atmosphere of the darker races to the masters of the big opera companies. They are deserving of production for any public.

ATERNAL NOTES of the good fathers that once mingled with us, who now lie asleep in the great beyond. Our Most Worshipful Grand Master Brother Clarence C. Kittrell of Erie, Pa., was in the city for a short while last Friday, but was unable to attend our anniversary, due to the fact he was compelled to leave early en route for home to make preparations for the Annual Grand Session in Philadelphia December 10, and 11th. Progress Lodge No. 95 held their annual lodge of sorrow at Ebenezer Baptist Church Sunday, November 25, at 8 p. m. As usual they again gave one of the best lodge of sorrow seen in the district since their last annual lodge of sorrow, the meeting being well attended by fraters and visitors.

While much of Pittsburgh's elite are attending the Howard-Lincoln classic in Philadelphia, those who are remaining at home will no doubt take advantage of the whirl of festivities which are scheduled at beautiful Temple Casino for the holiday week. The Bell Bottom Boys open the week's program with an affair on Wednesday, November 28. Thursday, November 29, Thanksgiving day, will be an all-day dancing reception at the Casino under the supervision of the Temple Amusement Company. Manager Sellers Hall has secured three orchestras—Deppe's Serenaders, the Royal Syncapitors, and Della J. Sutton's Melody Girls of New York City, to furnish the music. This affair stands second to none scheduled so far this week. On Monday, December 3, a full delegation of the Knights of Pythias of Allegheny County will hold a monstrous reception and ball in the beautiful ballroom of Labor Temple. Due to the fact that this will be a fraternal affair the committee is making extra preparation to take care of the large patronage. Sunday morning at 1:30 Mrs. Mollie B.

"Is such a marriage wrong theologically? Evidently not, for the Bible says that God struck Miriam with leprosy for objecting to Moses' Ethiopian wife, and Joseph and Solomon both married Egyptians. Second, is it harmful biologically? It is possible to produce healthy offspring by a union of the most cultivated type and the lowest of the most primitive. Some of the finest types, mentally and physically, have been produced by crossing dissimilar races, as Coleridge Taylor, one of England's greatest musicians; Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington and General Dumas. Third, is it wrong ethically? Quite the contrary, for our laws forbid sexual immorality. AS I was saying, first, like the Negro the Bible," continued Dixon.

Would you care to hear what Finot has to say on the subject?" Both assented. He found the place and began: "Cross-breeding among the most differentiated races, far from resulting in sterility, adds to their fecundity. According to Le Valliant, a Hottentot woman, who generally has three or four children, will have as many as ten or twelve when united to a white man or Negro. The crossing of Negroes with white women or white men with Negro women produces similar results. Cross-breeding has in no sense the spur result of physical degeneracy nor of bringing peoples to final ruin. Where did Taylor find the most beautiful women in the world? At Tristan d'Acunha (a little island between the Cape and South America) among the descendants of white and Negroes. Among the young girls were some with such entirely beautiful heads that I do not remember having anything so splendid. And yet I am familiar with all the strands of the earth. Ball and its Malays, Havana and its Creoles, Tahiti and its nymphs and the United States and its most distinguished women." Dixon closed the book and taking out his note-book, said, "Dr. J. B. De Lacerda, director of the National Museum at Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, said, in his address at the University Place Congress: 'Galton's deductions in regard to hybridity in animals cannot be wholly applied to human half-breeds. In the case of man there is an inheritance of moral and intellectual qualities that follows no fixed and absolute rules. Under the influence of agencies of which we do not know the nature the intellectual qualities often reach in the mixed progeny of the white and black a degree of superiority which cannot be explained in terms of heredity, either remote or proximate. Some unknown force gives rise in them to an intelligence that is capable of developing to a pitch neither of the parents could reach. It is, in fact, common to find as the off-spring of a white of very mediocre intelligence mated with a Negress of the lowest grade of culture, an individual of considerable intellectual powers; just as if one of the effects of crossing in the case of man was precisely to improve the intelligence or the moral and reflective qualities which distinguish individuals of the two races crossed." He closed the notebook and added: "Another important point to be noted is that our physiques conform to climatic environment. The Negro has been living in America for centuries. His constitution is therefore very likely to be similar to that of the native, white, with the Negro processing a better circulatory system and sounder tissue, due to greater physical exertion."

"The Bureau of American Ethnology for the year 1907-8 gives 7.9 per thousand deaths among the Indians from this disease, while it gives 4 for the Negro and 1.7 for the Caucasian. This disease is quite as prevalent among the poorer classes of whites.

Bryce, in his American Commonwealth, speaking of the law forbidding the marriage of black and white, says it is 'one of the least defensible of all laws.' "Fourth, the right, to select one's mate is one of the most ancient and most sacred of individual rights, and when the state interferes in this, except in the case of the mentally unfit, it but adds humor to the witchism: "This is a free country." "The rattle of a freight train in the opposite direction made it impossible for the speaker to continue. When the noise was over the three looked at him to continue. "The two reasons in favor of intermarriage," he went on, "are first, it is beneficial sociologically. As the color of the mulatto is generally more pleasing, not only to the whites but to the blacks, the situation is improved. Roosevelt, in an article on Brazil in 'The Outlook,' said that a prominent Brazilian pointed out to him how the danger of color friction had been overtied by Brazil's policy of race fusion, whereas in the United States color disagreements are more likely to increase. "Second, and most important of all, the honor and dignity of the Republic demands a cessation of the dishonourable relations that have existed for more than three hundred years between white men and colored women." "Amalgamation leads to degeneracy," persisted the Senator with determination. "The mulatto is the inferior of both races." He inherits the bad qualities of both and the good traits of neither. "No," objected No.1, handling over to catch the eye of the Senator. "That's impossible. How could it be possible for the mulatto to inherit the bad qualities of both races. He is inferior only in longevity. I have aged white men and aged Negroes, but never an aged mulatto. Why should the mulatto inherit the bad qualities of both race?" A discussion between the two went on for some time. Dixon and the other passages listened interestfully. "Here, where the doctor disagree," laughed Dixon to himself. "They say the mulatto is more vicious simply because he isn't so easy to handle as the full-blended black," whispered No.2 to Dixon. The latter took advantage of a short fall to refer them to the following quotation from Von Lachen: "We are absolutely ignorant FREE!

Prof. Elliott Smith examined ten thousand skeletons of ancient Egypt without finding any trace of it; Dr. Ales Hrdlicka of the Smithsonian Institute reports similarly on the pre-Columbian Indian. Syphilis, like consumption, cannot live in primitive surroundings. Syphilis first came into notice in the early part of the sixteenth century, when a great epidemic of it swept through southern Europe. Assertions to the contrary have been examined by lending scholars and found to be false." "But what about heredity, that most important of all points to be considered in the crossing of animals, human or otherwise?" asked No.1 "A most important question, sir," replied Dixon, "and one that has been sadly neglected, as witness the welcome extended to all types of European immigrants, nearly all of whom, except the German, French and Scandinavian, and, possibly, the English have always lived far below the economic level of the American Negro. The Negro has a more intelligent and better-fed appearance than the average immigrant one sees at Ellis Island or in the steerage of transatlantic liners. This is indisputable. The percentage of paupers among foreign-born whites is almost five times that of the Negro. The figures, according to the census of 1910, are 294.2 and 63.9 per 100,000, respectively. Foreign-born whites are also more illiterate than Negroes. The Russian of Europe is nearly three times more illiterate. The Italian, Bulgarian, Greek, Portuguese, Spaniard, Rumanian and Servian of Europe all have a higher percentage of illiteracy than American Negroes." "Anyway," said No. 1, with finality, "I still believe that every one should marry his own color. It doesn't look good to see a mixed couple." "What would you think of the marriage of a full-blooded Negro to an octooroon, who was to all appearances white?" asked Dixon. "That would be all right. They are both of the same race." "And what would you think of the marriage of that same octoaroon to another white, or believed to be white?" "That would be wrong." "But didn't you just say every one should marry his own color? In other words, that blacks should marry blacks, browns, browns, and blondes, blondes?" Passenger No. 2, who had hitherto been silent, now spoke. "It is not a matter of whether it looks good," he said, "but whether it is right or wrong. Intermarriage, as the porter so clearly showed us, is in accord with the law of nature and of nature's God. Physical affinity has ever been the principal motive in the mating of human beings, often regardless of racial differences. Ignore it as you will, the fact remains that there are a great many whites of both sexes who find their affinity, mental, as well as physical, among Negroes, also many Negroes of both sexes who find theirs among whites. Most people, in speaking about the inherent dislike the races have for each other, forget that there is also an inherent attraction between them. From my observations and studies, which I flatter myself are pretty comprehensive, I see that nature, throughout all ages and all climes, simply refuses to submit to man-made laws and conventions, at least as far as the mixing of races is concerned.

THE PITTSBURGH COURIER The vilifying of either of the races in question will not help, since love is illogical. The harm done by laws against the marriage of blacks and whites is immense. Persons of the two races, while meeting often clandestinely, get into the habit of shunning marriage even in those states where such a union is permissible. These restrictions also give many a convenient excuse for leading a double life, since, while they may find their affinity in one of the other races, they are conventionally bound to marry in their own. This artificial condition is, in short, responsible for a great amount of deception, especially on our part. Since so-called intermarriage does not mean the taking up of blacks and whites at random and marrying them off willy-nilly, but proceeds entirely from personal choice, I should think this matter revolves on the query, 'Should such persons be encouraged to live wedded or forced to live unwedded?'

Will I spend wakeful hours in future years trying to devise means of bringing about an understanding between my boy and me? Can I avoid the many worries that the 'Joneses' have with their boy? How can I rear this boy that he will be an honor to me and mother and the family?" This is Father and Son's Week. The boys need more attention. Negro boys rarely get the companionship they should have from their elders. It has been almost an obsession with colored mothers and fathers that only girls need careful training. This is false. How will the daughter get a good husband if the boys are not properly brought up? There is the problem of veneral diseases. Boys should not be allowed to get their first impression of sex from smutty sources. Do your part. Also Scout organizations are good places for your boy to get his younger associates and develop a healthy mind in his "off" hours. Do you own your own home? Here are seven reasons why you should: Property ownership is the most commanding desire of life. It creates interest in your community. It is the foundation of good citizenship. It inspires thrift and independence. It stimulates ambition and integrity. It provides comfort and contentment. You owe to your family and yourself the independence and self-respect that is yours when you own your own home. Property owners are the people who count. If a bank receives a protest against some of its business methods from one of its substantial depositors it is likely to change if the protest or objection is reasonable. But if somebody who doesn't deposit money there objects to something, they get no consideration. The same rule is almost practically true in the business of government, although the Constitution guarantees each citizen equal rights. If the Negro race becomes known as a property-owning race, rich—they will quickly become powerful. Witness the Jews. You can start on the road to prosperity by first owning your home.

NEW YORK, Nov. 29.—Prompt action by the Denver Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, has resulted in a reprimand to a white police officer of that city, who invaded a dance being given by colored people and insulted several colored women. The following report of the affair is given in the Denver Star: A delightful dancing party was in progress under the auspices of the "Independent Six," the proceeds of which was to go to the Day Nursery and Negro Woman's Home. It was purely a private affair and admission could be gained by invitation only. About. 11 o'clock Policeman Knauss with three other officers invaded the hall without right or sanction, stood around with their caps on and clubs in hand as though at a notorious prize fight. Suddenly Knauss took it upon himself to go out upon the floor, catch hold of some of the ladies and brute, inquire of them whether they were white or colored. And when one of the ladies jerked her arm loose from his hold he (Knauss) threatened to call the patrol wagon. At this point the Negro man saw what was going on and only the advice of cooler heads saved a happening that might have merged into a tragedy. The Denver Branch, N. A. A. C. P., took the matter up at once and at 11 o'clock Saturday morning a committee consisting of George W. Gross, president; Dr. J. H. P. Westbrook, father H. E. Rahming, Herbert Moseley, Dr. C. F. Hahn, Rev. Thomas H. Heederson and J. M. Williamson, together with Miss Willa Golson and Miss Marie Stewart, two of the ladies that were most interested, waited upon Mayor B. F. Stapleton by appointment. The committee requested that Commission of Safety and Engineer B. W. Hershey and Chief of Police H. Hugh William be brought into the conference and this was done by the mayor. Mayor Stapleton needed the committee most precisely and in ready to the charges and before him said: to officiating officers each one without authority and youth on the reprimand demanded a committee." mavors, Commissioner Herb and Chief Williams were all stung in their demonstration of Knessin and Major Sampson said: "Every race and class of people should be given a square deal in every respect and that he won't not stand for any discriminatory practice of any character by city officials as long as he was mayor."

Weds 13-Year Old Girl, Court Gives Its O. K. BALTIMORE, Md, Nov. 28—Charles Daniels, aged 20, 1000 Park avenue; was on trial in Criminal Court yesterday for perjury. Daniels secured a license to wed 13-year-old Rosie Smith by swearing she was over 18. Rev. George Shorter, who performed the ceremony, declared he did not notice the girl's youth. At the trial the parents withdrew the charge of perjury, declaring they wanted the couple to live together. Sentence was suspended. HEIRESS WEDDED MID POMP AND SPLENDOR (Continued From Page 1) Three charming little maids, A.Lelia Emma Ransom, of Indianapolis; Katherine Farnum Williams and Betty Peyton, immediately preceded the bride, spattering flower petals from tiny baskets adorned with tulle bows. They were dressed in dainty white georgette frocks with fluted ruffles and touches of real lace, hand-made rosebuds and ribbon. Lovely Bride The bride entered with Attorney F. B. Ranson, of Indianapolis, who gave her in marriage. They were met at the altar by the groom, with his best man, Dr. Norwood Thorne, of Chicago. She was radiantly lovely in an exquisite creation of chiffon beaded with sen pearls over bride's satin. The gown was a simple long waisted model with six-inch panels of the corrugated beaded chiffon, composing the skirt, the under-dress of the bride's matte, the closely embroidered in pearls. A bridal veil of tulle was caught to her hair with a basilisse Egyptian headress, brought from the Holy land by the bride's mother. Her bouquet was bride's pearls showered with valley lilies. Her only ornament was an consistently set diamond brooch, the gift of the groom. Reception Following this ceremony an informal reception was given at Villa Leonea at Irvington on the Hudson, Beautiful Villa. The entire lower floor and spacious upstairs hall where the array of magnificent wooing gifts were on display, were thrown open and adorned by an artistic and graceful arrangement of smilax, palms, ferns and chrysanthemums. Tall wicker in beds were everywhere filled with the lavender of blossoms; myriads of twining lights from crystal chandeliers to were draped in milky, the dining room was adorned in decorations of chrysanthemums; chrysanthemums; pink tapers, ornamented the table. The wedding cake was richly embalmed in white frostings built high. Lovely Gowns Mrs. A. Llecha Walker-Wilson, the bishop's mother, wore a Paris gown of gold cloth. Her hat was of gold cloth walled in black chiffon, fitting closely turban style. The mother's gift to the couple was an especially made solid mumory case containing 125 pieces of starling silver from Tiffany's. The bride presented her matron of honor with a plaited green gold bracelet, fastening with lock, containing two diamonds and 'a blue sapphire. The groom gave his best man canes and cigaret cases. The gifts to the bride were many, a large and valuable assortment of liver, linens, china and cut glass. During the reception selections on the organ were rendered by Lorenzo Dyer, organist of Mt. Olive Baptist church; "O Promise Me," by Mrs. Charlotte Murray; piano selections by Mrs. Helen Hagan Williams; harp selections by Miss Anna Welch.

Attorney Stanton based his defense of Savage on the theory that an automobile containing two men was seen driving up to the Hussey mansion, where Miss Barthel was found murdered shortly after Savage says he left her. He produced one witness who testified to this effect, and said she heard a woman crying "Don't, don't, for God's sake don't. Savage admitted that he had the girl, a telephone appointment, held her, which she believed would help her win her white sweetheart, who had caused her to become an expectant mother. He says she gave him money for the cards and he left and new nothing of the crime until he was arrested the next evening.

And a witness for the defense, a white nurse, admitted the mansion is a regular spooning place for lovers. Savage was remanded to jail to await his execution or further action by his attorney.

The story further alleged that Dr. Ricks, who toured Switzerland and other European countries during his vacation this summer, wrote many letters of an ardent and affectionate turn to Simms. The statement also alleged that, according to Mrs. Ricks, the platonic friendship grew to such an extent that Dr. Ricks slept with Simms every night. Than, according to the story, Mrs. Ricks is alleged to have done a bit of sleuthing on her own part, with the result that she is alleged to have found the "loving couple" in the attic. It is alleged that this was the final straw—the secret was open. An alleged fist fight, in which anister emerged the worse for woe; an alleged "confession" to the church and Rev. Rick's resignation followed. In answering the charges, Rev Ricks wrote as follows, giving his so-called "confession" to a Courier reporter. It follows; To the Members and Friends, Bethany Baptist Church. Dear Brethren—It has come to my notice that there is considerable agitation and misrepresentation as to my resigning from my position as minister of the church.

I resigned of my own accord and in good faith and do not desire any put forth any effort to rescind the church or to do anything that will in any way cause a division in her faith. I love Bethany and want her to prosper and will do all I can and my family likewise, and beg others to join us in seeking her future prosperity.

For the general information of the public, it is necessary to publish the letter which Mrs. Ricks sent to the church to be read on Sunday, November 18. The below letter is a true copy of the letter which Mrs. Ricks sent to be read in the church. Newark, N. J. To the Bethany Baptist Church and Congregation. Dear Brotherh—In view of the statements made by the newspaper and individuals attempting to quote me as having made statements with reference to alleged happenings in my home derogatory to myself, my daughter, and my husband, and my home; and because such statements have been entirely untrue, and because no such statements have ever been made by me, and no such happenings as alleged have ever taken my home; I bred them all as untrue and positively state that all such persons making such statements have made them of their own accord, with malice toward me and mine, with full knowledge of their falsity. Season's First Lyceum Opens with Packed House A packed house with nearly half those present clamoring for only standing room witnessed the opening program of the season's first lyceum at Grace Memorial Presbyterian Church, Sunday night. Some of the best talent in the city co-operated under the chairmanship of Mrs. Genevieve Lewis to make the occasion the best musical and oratorical treat of the season. Participants from all denominations, as well as attendants from all denominations were in evidence. This lyceum was one of the closing features of a week's celebration, which ended Monday night, of the 55th anniversary of the founding of the church, and of the 13th anniversary of the present pastor, Rev. Charles Henry Trusty. Miss Charlotte D. E. Enty, talented musician, rendered two well appreciated selections from Chopin.
