NEW, YORK, March 6—Beverly D. Harris, hard-handed New York banker; formerly vice president of the National City Bank, of which James A. Stillman was president, contends that he let a slid of a southern bank be unwieldy in his business, she was a Tennessee aristocrat, and that he married her in haste, without checking up on her story. Harris claims his wife is the illegitimate child of a notorious southern gambler by a colorful mistress. Mrs. Harris admits that she was steadfastly declares she is not the woman witnesses have identified and point to as the notorious character who tumped her way into the luxury of millions, and an unsuspectable Fifth avenue mansion. The case is to be one of the queues interrupted, known, growing out, of the illicit relations between white men and colored women which in some places is openly practiced in the south.

Kelly Miller Criticized By School Head
Accuses Dean of Nearly Wrecking $500,000 Appropriation—Alumni Up in Arms.
WASHINGTON, D. C.
March 6. — "Kelly Miller Nearly Wrecks Howard Appropriation."
This glaring headline, which appeared in a local paper last week, threatens to precipitate a factional war at Howard University, which may, ere its close, result in an entire change of the directing and governing body of the university, father of the "San Bernardino" and mother of the most learned educators of the race, has been inside the target of severe criminal hurled at him by the white press and President J.

Failure of the appropriation to pass would have meant the closing of the portals of Howard. In the case of the school have risen in a body supporting Dean Miller's action, and in a countercharge declare that President Durkee took refuge when the fight to secure the appropriation reached its most critical stage.

Race Hatred Is Scored By Dr.G.W.Eddy
MADISON, Wis. Mar. 6—Showing that America was not 98 per cent all right in every respect and that there is a youth revolt against the old order in most of the countries of the world, Dr. G. Sherwood Eddy opened the annual all-university religious conference at the student convocation last week in Lathrop hall.
"Of all the 22 countries I have no reason to my recent world tour, no country has shown more color, more race prejudice and more mistreatment of the men of darker races than we have here in the United States," Dr. Eddy declared. "There is more lynching here than in all the rest of the world, we have savaged two lynchings a week. On this campus, students use terms of contempt as nigger, chinch, jap, dago.
"I was safer in the streets of Russia without government guards than in some district of Chicago and New York city. The men are exhibited to me. I was never free to go as I pleased," he asserted.
"Students who swallow such false material on the Soviet as a booklet, 'Russia, the White Slave of the World,' are accepting without question me. I am not a slave," Dr. Eddy pointed out on the subject of the reported nationalization of women in Russia.
In Europe as in the other countries of the world, Dr. Eddy said that, the people of the world were in the mistress of the old order that had brought up militarism, war and hardships. In India, the speaker is id that the people were affine against the American government, just as the Americans had been enflamed in 1776.

Holsey Replies To Attack On Him By'Linc' Johnson
"It is true that I consulted with Col. Johnson last spring on the subject of the hospital, just as I consulted with and sought the advice and co-operation of many other leaders." "It is also true that I later "parted company" with Col. Johnson and some of his associates at 1216 Pennsylvania avenue, Washington, D. C., and the cause of our disagreement was NOT, as he claims, that Tuskegee appalled at the Johnson attack, but it was because of the arrangement of personnel which Col. Johnson had selected to head the hospital. "On the occasion of one of my visits to Washington last April, I dropped into his office, and to my attention Johnson had just submitted to President Harding a personnel program which included the appointment of John T. Rischer as commanding officer of the Tuskegee Hospital. Mr. Rischer was then, and is now, the chief Johnson's office. The Pennsylvania office. The Dr. T. Edward Jones, I was informed, was suggested for the second place. The recommendation made by Col.

White Personnel's Departure Follows Order From Headquarters—Believed Result of Protest.
TUSKEEGE, Ala., March 6
—The Veterans' Bureau has ordered the white personnel at the Veterans' Hospital here to vacate their quarters and move into the court of Tuskegee. The orders followed the arrival of Dr. Joseph H. Ward, chief of the surgical department, the highest commissioned medical officer during the hospital, and the institute community in extending Dr. Ward a cordial welcome.
Dr. Ward expressed satisfaction over the order.
Attaches at the hospital made no comment on the removal of the white personnel to the town of Tuskegee, although the news seemed to fairly breathe in relief from the tension of the housing situation.
Almost immediately the colored personnel began making preparations to move into the beautiful cottages with their lovely flower gardens, patches of flourishing vegetables, narrow walks and old-fashioned fences. And these cottages were built by Negro labors skilled in carpentry, training school, which gives a daily shower if inspiring influence to the villager who lives in the shadow of its picturesque buildings. All talk of poor living conditions for the colored staff is tabooed, it is believed.
It was learned today that the white personnel had "folded their tents," and taken up quarters in Tuscaloosa, where they were hospital. There was no _comment from their ranks, save the sadness of the decree to "move." It is not believed that they were aware of the _persistent effort to give the Negro medical attaches the power to administer rea's action was no doubt due to the storm of protest registered by Negro citizens the country over.

Re-Open Fight To Have Cohen As Controller
WASHINGTON, D. C., March 6—Under the Senate's surface, veiled by the official secrety of executive business, the fight over the nomination of Walter L. Cohen, Louisiana, leader, to be controller of customs at New Orleans, was opened again through a re-arranging the case formally before the Senate.
Charges and counter charges of deals and trades, political and otherwise; the effect on the Negro vote in the northern states and the members of the Senate figures in the unofficial reports of what is going on while senators refuse to discuss "executive affairs."

SOUTHERN TRADITION IS SMASHED
Charles S. Morris Appears Before Female White Audience in North Carolina.
(Special Correspondence)
CHARLOTTE, M. C., Mar. G.—Breaking a rigid Southern tradition that no Negro shall appear before a white female audience in any representative capacity, Charles Satechell Morris, Jr., of Norfolk, Virginia, the famiies colored journalist and orator, was invited to address the students of the Flora McDonald College, at Red Springs, North Carolina, on Friday morning. The institution is the leading school of the Scotch Presbyterians, in the South, its attendants numbering hundreds, coming from every state in this section.
The noted orator spoke to a vast throng in the city on Thursday night, at which time several members of the faculty as well as a large number of the young women heard him, as a result of which he was tendered the invitation to speak at the girls' seminary. He was cordially received by the student body when he stepped upon the platform adequately, introduced by the president. He held the students spellbound by his wit and humor, his logic and his fervent appeals for "my struggling, aspiring, hopeful, race," couched in brilliant language.
The speaker declared: "The Negro in the South is the acid test of the courage and the Christianity of the American white man. In proportion as my weak and often times defenseless race is accorded just and equitable treatment here in Dixie, will the dominant group succeed not only in the marts of peace and commerce, but in the grander realm of human service. I appeal to this magnificent group of the queenly daughters of the South, the linear descendants of its idols, to let no color blind your eyes to truth, or hatred steel your heart to action. The fallacious doctrine that might makes right must be supplanted by the gospel of the winged Prince of Peace that right makes might, and truth is God." He was tended a great reception at the conclusion of his speech, many showers, upon him the warmest congratulations.
Young Morris spoke to a record crowd of more than 3,000 persons of both races in Columbia, South Carolina, last Monday night, at the end of his whirlwind trip through the South.

SOCIETY WOMEN SEEK SHELTER OF AUTOMOBILES AS GANGSTERS' GUNS SPIT FLAME IN MIDNIGHT BATTLE
By GEORGE ENDOM TAYLOR
NEW YORK, March 6—The fashionable section of Seventh avenue and One Hundred and Forty-fourth street was given a midnight jar Friday when a running battle between late-hour crooks and police officers occurred. After the smoke from the revolvers had cleared away and the ambulance doctors began to mop up the blood and take count of the casualties, it was discovered that James Robinson, 20, of 18 West One Hundred and Thirty-seventh street, was suffering and bleeding from a wound inflicted by an officers pistol in the left arm, Patrolman Tom Mullens of the Thirty-eighth Police Precinct, had been severely stabbed. Policeman Robinson was stabbed in the back. Frank Duke, alleged highwayman, of 110 West One Hundred and Thirty-third street, was shot in the arm.
Officer Mullens received a knife wound in the back. Officer Arthur B. Matthews, formerly sergeant of the colored reserves, had the second finger on his left-hand burned severely from the explosion of his own revolver when one of his knuckles it out of his hand while the kicked it out of his hand, while the hand wounded him. It was the fiercest hand-to-hand battle that has been known to occur within the uptown "dead line." There has been a wholesale breaking-in, hold-up, and robberies of all descriptions reported to the police of

the thirty-eighth precinct in this section for some time. Officers Tom Micheal, with Matthews, stood a long watch before the fray began. When they surprised a gang of two jimmying a door near One Hundred and Forty-fifth street and Seventh avenue, they little thought that they would have to contest with more than these.
The firing had no more than begun before the officers discovered that three others of the gangsters had fraped from their hiding places and turned upon them. They were really encamped and had to make the best of it.
Colored society women starting to the Lafayette theater midnight performances sought shelter in their automobiles while others, screaming, ran into hallways. Detectives McFarland and Butler and others who happened to be in the neighborhood, bent on some hunt, jumped from their automobiles and took place in the little war. It was the beginning of the time that Officer Robinson was stebled in the back, but he stopped his duty until weakened by the loss of blood.
Captain Scheanich of the Thirty-eighth Detective Bureau complimented his men when they returned bleeding from wounds with the prisoners. He took occasion to tell the newspapermen that "While I am up-town here these colored people are going to be protected."
Woman Writes Farewell Note; Tries Suicide
CHICAGO, Ill., March 6—A bizarre and colorful romance of the South Side's underworld night life took on a tragic aspect Friday night when Dorothy Burrell, white, who describes herself as the wife of Robert "Sug" Burrell, well-dressed frequenter of all-night cabcures, attempted suicide at their room in the Vincennes Hotel Friday night, and for more than six hours hovered between life and death.
When hotel attendants found her unconscious body lying across the bed, beside it was pinned a note, intended to be the girl's farewell to a "cruel world."
In the letter, written in a scrawling hand, the girl addressed her husband as "Daddy Sug," and declared that she had given him her all, soul and body, and now that his attentions were growing cold, she had no recourse but death.

Dr. Crossland Resigns From Hospital Job
Stormy Career of Bureau Employee, in Which Love Escapades Played Prominent Part, Ended.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Mar. 6.—Dr. J. R. A. Crossland, of St. Joseph Mo., is no longer in the Government employ. His resignation became effective February 15, it was announced today at the Veterans Bureau.
Stormy Career.
The Veterans' Bureau would give no definite information as to the reasons for the resignation; but it is generally understood that Director General F. T. Hines, requested it because of the trouble and annoyance the doctor caused him, not only at the hospital for disabled Negro veterans at Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, but while he had offices in the bureau and was the technical assistant in charge of colored trainees.
Since his appointment Dr. Crossland has had a stormy career. His troubles began when he became involved in a love scandal with a Chicago courts. Complaints were filed with the Veterans' Bureau, by the heads of schools he visited on official business alleging that he had talked over the long distance to a person in Chicago and had failed to pay the telephone charges. Always he was able to give an explanation satisfactory to the officials of the Veterans' Bureau and extricate himself from any serious consequences.
Connived.
At the completion of the United States hospital at Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, the doctor became ambitious and sought to become either the commanding or executive officer. It is alleged that in his efforts to the effect his plans in this regard, he connived at the abolishment of his office in the Veterans' Bureau and agreed with Director Hines to work on a "60-50 basis" with any white man the director might send there.
Dr. Crossland was then sent to three of the leading United States hospitals where he especially prepared himself to become the executive officer of the Tuskegee hospital. After three months preparation he was transferred to Tuskegee. It is charged that he plotted the removal of Major Charles M. Griffith, the commanding officer, in order to have Major Johnson, the executive officer promoted to commanding officer and he himself made the executive officer. Charges of sanding out false information in regard to conditions at the hospital, of inciting race hatred in the Tuskegee community, and divers other things were preferred against him. Major R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, wired that his removal was necessary.
On January 18, he was ordered to proceed immediately to Washington and report to the director for further assignment. His immediate dismissal was recommended but it was agreed that he should be permitted to continue until February 15. In the meantime he submitted his resignation to prevent his dismissal.
Wrote Too Much.
The doctor's uncontrollable habit of writing promiscuously led to his forced resignation, his friends believe. First a number of his love letters fell into the hands of persons who gave them to the press. Then, when he went to Tuskegee he kept up his letter writing, although the men who were seeking his undoing were carrying copies of them around in his pocket. He was charged with being the author of an anonymous letter to Hiram Johnson telling him to have his campaign manager, Frank Hitchock, to call on Dr. Crossland if he desired to secure the Negro vote.

MEMPHIS, Tenn., March 6—"The Mississippi Life Insurance Company presents 15 years of hard labor, of pooled en-

imaged spirited speech of protest against the sale of the

fiers against their seizure of the colored corporation.
Speaking further against the deal, Mr. Lee said:
"The white South is going to have a hard time explaining to the world just why they are making efforts to take from the heart of the Negro people one of the biggest insurance companies that they have, when there is all the capital necessary within the Negro race to fulfill the demands of this company's continued existence as a colored institution. We have gathered here today not to temporize or mince our words; nor to make you believe that if you win this case in the courts, we are going to continue in your employ. This thing either belongs to you or it belongs to us. If you get it we want no part of it. If we get it we will close ranks and hold what we have got."
It was built upon the blood and sweat money of the women from the wash tubs, the men from the farms, the anvils and the forge. It has established a brand of efficiency that represents the highest expression of a struggling people, who stand trembling on the borders of the economic universe and are looking to this and similar institutions to establish the trade mark of Negro competency.

These managers who stand before you, white men, cannot assist you in carrying out your plans to take over the Mississippi Life without sticking into the basest ingratitude and handing their names down to posterity to be linked with Benedict Arnold and Judas as the arch traitors of their time. We cannot for any consideration continue in your employ if you win in the courts and be loyal to the cause of our hearts. The Negroes everywhere are believing that this is a well-founded plan on the part of white men of the South to exterminate the Negro in an economic way.
"You have told us time and time again that we should live here in the South by your side and develop our own institutions without interference from without. And now, when we build an institution, that is a credit to the race you conspire to take it by her force and influence. Shall I interpret these actions to mean that you no longer want among you the thrifty and intelligent group of Negroes who are able by their own shoulder straps to lift themselves to the highest plane or self-determination? Shall I interpret this to mean that you want only the headscratcher and Samba Negro; who has no ambitions save to serve you and whose ambitions don't extend beyond being your body servant and your wood chopper, to live here in the South?"
The white company has been restrained temporarily from taking active control of the colored concern by an injunction which will be heard on March 10.
The Mississippi Life was recently sold to the Service Company, of which Heman Perry is president, an Atalanta, Ga., concern. Perry is at the head of a chain of big businesses, one of which is the Standard Life Insurance Company of Atlanta.

Shields was popular for her unusual dash and attraticiveness. Possessed of the appearance of the modern vampire, her alleged unfaithfulness, has long been the talk of the town, it is said. Only a few days before the fatal affair, Adams had interfered when her husband attempted to reprimand her about her manner of living. It is said that Shields had not lived with his wife for several days. The dapper, suave, well-groomed Adams was a personal friend of Shields, who was regularly employed as a bartender in the Lafayette cafe, 132nd street and Seventh avenue. The avenue and the neighborhood in which the tragedy occurred is mostly populated by whites, it is reported. Very recently a number of disreputable white women were taken in a raid on the adjoining building, it is said.
Claimed Body.
Claimed body.
The authorities expressed astonishment today when Mrs. Shields claimed the body of her late lover, after the wife of the dead man refused to call at the morgue. The time limit would have expired and Adams would have been buried in Potters Field, had not the Shields woman consented to give the body a Christian burial. She called at the morgue, it is said, and arranged to have the body taken to the Paris undertaking parlors and prepared for burial, paying for the same out of her own funds. She also arranged to have the body shipped to Adams' sister in Indiann, when Mrs. Adams demanded the body, saying she would reimburse Mrs. Shields for the expense she had undergone. It is said Mrs. Adams paid the money, and that the funeral services held Saturday were under her direction. A notice was posted prohibiting anyone from viewing the remains.
Denies She is Woman.
In an attempt to interview Mrs. Shields at her St. Nicholas avenue apartment, she declared to a Pittsburgh Courier reporter, she was not the "woman." Shields' hearing will come up Thursday, the 6th.
DEMAND THAT DURKEE BE OUSTED AT HOWARD

he virtually disclaimed all leadership in the night. In support of their charge, they quote the following words, which may go down in administrative history as a "prize horror." This statement, "The lid is off; go to it," spoken by the president on Thursday afternoon at a special meeting of the administration, after the $500,000 appropriation item had been ruled out of the Senate on a point of order, was the signal for others to take the initiative.
Ask Durkee's Dismissal.
So enraged are alumni from different sections of the country, that many are demanding the resignation of Dr. Durkee from Howard University "for the good of the race." They base their demand on a number of facts of rather startling significance, which have happened at the school within the last few years. They cite his rather distant and not altogether friendly action with the deans of the school, his "bluff" action following the students' strike of several years ago, when he stated that either the president

of the Student Council or he would leave the university, and last his excuses to congress following the discovery of socialistic literature in the library of the school. They further cite that all of the courses in the school catalog are not taught, and say that Dr. Durkee is directly responsible for the failure to bring up the curriculum of the school to the standard.
Kelly Miller's Note.
Kelly Miller's note to Senator Smoot was to the purport that in case it seemed that the $500,000 item would jeopardize the normal appropriation to Howard University, it might be well not to insist upon its inclusion. This is exactly what the president had said himself.
This memorandum was left upon the Senator's desk Saturday morning, owing to Professor Miller's inability to see Smoot. Monday, Senator Smoot submitted the letter to Senators Lodge and Lenroot and it was then read upon the floor of the Senate. This necessitated considerable confusion, and when President Durkee was communicated with, he announced that no one had been authorized to write such a note and that the statement contained in it did not in any way represent the attitude of the university toward the items. In refutation of this statement Dean Miller, in a lengthy reply, quotes the following from the Record of the Senate Hearings committee: "Senator Smoot — You want the amount restored which the House Committee recommended.
"President Durkee—Just restored, sir. We are not asking anything more."
The appropriation, as introduced under the Interior Department appropriations, was for $870,000, $500,000 of which was for the Medical Department. In the House, on a point of order, the item of $207,000. was stricken out, and that is what those representing the university were interested in.
In commenting on the note to Senator Smoot, Dean Miller said:
ator Smoot, Dean Miller said: "The memorandum was signed in my name without any title or description whatsoever. This expressed the combined judgment of every member of the faculty and of the administration whom I had consulted up to that time. I then went to Senator Philips office, where I learned that the item would be fought vigorously on the floor of the Senate. I then saw Senator Curtis, the "whip" of the Senate, who explained his negative vote on Thursday and stated that he would push the $500,000 item vigorously unless it might seem to jeopardize the regular and normal university appropriations at which point he would withdraw it. This was the accepted opinion of all of us.
"I might add that up to Saturday morning I had kept in close touch with the administration and members of the faculty, all of whom at that time, had given up hope of the $500,000 item. No one at that time could foresee or predict that it would be forced through the Senate as a matter of political expediency. "For three days I camped on the flanks of the Senate."
In closing, he says: "I deeply regret, however, that as often happens, service is required with criticism."
It is hinted that as the aftermath of the affair, conferences are now being held at the school, and that possibly several resignations may be asked for.
Many are of the opinion that Dr. Durkee's interest in Howard could be expressed with less possibility of friction.
and his associates at 1216 Pennsylvania avenue.
"Two days later I talked with Mr. Perry Howard, C.L. Johnson's associate, and told him frankly that I could not endorse and support such a program and gave him my reasons. It was Dr. Moton's thought that the National Medical Association was the proper organization in our group to recommend physicians for this hospital. It shared Dr. Moton's opinion and acted accordingly.
"Although I had been to the White House several times before, it is true that immediately after my disagreement with Mr. Johnson and Mr. Howard that some influence was brought to hear to keep me from seeing Mr. Christian at the White House, and that I had to secure a letter of introduction from Chief

It is further true that when I interviewed Mr. Christian, he told me that the President had NOT requested Col. Johnson to take over the personnel of the Hospital, but that the president had asked "several colored leaders," including Col. Johnson, to suggest the names of colored persons who might qualify for positions at the hospital and to ask such persons to make application at once. Mr. Christian further emphasized that the selection of personnel for the hospital was in the hands of General Hines and would remain there.

Col. Johnson accuses me of having shown a letter of his to Chief Justice Taft. I did not show any letter of any kind to the Chief Justice the day I interviewed him and I can prove it, nor have I shown or spent to him any letter since then. The charge that I dictated a letter in his office is also a misstatement of facts. I have never dictated a letter of any kind to any stenographer employed in Col. Johnson's office, and the only letter he wrote to Dr. Moton on the subject of the hospital was written of his own free will and accord, and that letter was then and is now in our files at Tuskegee Institute.
Following the idea that the selection of physicians for the Government Hospital was a matter for the National Medical Association to handle, I met, during the spring and summer of 1923, a number of officials of the National Medical Association, including Dr. M. O. Dumas of Washington, and Dr. George E. Cannon of Jersey City, and I do not believe any of these gentiemen would accuse me of double dealing and trickery.
It is possible that in facing many delicate and unexpected situations I may have made some mistakes, but I honestly tried to serve a righteous cause in an honorable way. If you

rejected by an almost solid line-up of Democrats strengthened by insurgent Republicans. When Senator Brookheart. Republican, of Iowa, was asked concerning an unofficial report of the executive session that his position against Cohen had brought him support for the chairmanship of the special committee to investigate Attorney General Daugherty, he replied that he never discusses executive business and was in favor of abolishing executive session. He added, "I don't make deals with anybody." The rollcall on Cohen's rejection has not been made public and a pending resolution by Senator Jones. Republican, of Washington, to put the thing in the open by publishing the votes has threatened a new complication.
Democrats charge privately that Republicans fighting for Cohen's confirmation are acting with regard to the Negro vote in the northern states, and in turn the Republican charge the Democrats opposing Cohen with race prejudice. There is another charge that various senators, not wishing to become involved, absented themselves at voting time.

Phi Beta: Sigma Fraternity Ball {Merrill Hale o: j.-",
|Fraternity-set a sotial precedent at
Howard University on Friday eve-
ning, February 29, by holding its
annual ball in'the new two hundred
and, one thousand dollar university
dining room, In order_to lend the
proper dignity and academic sir to
-a fraternity affair it should be given
‘under the shadow of the university.
‘The university heads highly favored.
the idea and offered further to ad-
vance the plan. The-idea of giving
fraternity affairs away ‘from the
campus sets aside the fact that such
organizations were born in the col~
leges-and for, the most pact nour
ished there. ‘Therefore, in order to
maintain this bond of affiliation Phi
Beta Sigma and her guests gath-
ered beneath the roof of the beauti-
fal dining hall and danced, to the
strains of “Smith's Imperial Band”
until 1:30 a. m.
‘The scheme of the decorations was
that of a Venetian garden. Ferns,
palms, various kinds of green
plants, blue and white crepe paper
(the fraternity's colors) and numer-
ous banners and pennants were so
arranged "as to bring out the de-
sired effect. From the west bai-
cony an iminense spotlight produc-
ing every color of. the rainbow. set
between two large blue and white
rectangular lights, played upon the
gay throng as-mellow as moonlight.
‘Upon the east wall was set the fra-
ternity pin with a gold background,
in’ which were set 12 white frosted
clectric bulbs as pearls, giving an
exact duplication of the gin itself.
All the lights were extinguished at
intervals to allow the‘electric pin to
blaze forth in all its beauty and
splendor. At 11:30 five hundred bal-
loons filled with an odorless and
harmless gas, a late French inven-
tion, were let loose simultaneously,
which floated atmtessly throughout
the hall the femainder.of the eve-
ning. Confetti and serpertine thrown
hither and thither amidst the show-
er of: lights and balloons gave, a
splendid appearance of sthe Vene-
tian ‘gardens of old. The beautiful
gowns blended perfectly with the
foft mellow lights of many hues that
danced merrily upon them as the
dancers swayed Tightly as with fan-
tastie toes. ‘The whole thing made
one think he was dancing in a land
of fairies and dreams.
Caterers served punch from the
Orient to Keep-the Venetians fresh
of body and light of foot. | During
intermission three photographers
“boomed” away with a flashlight
picture, catching everyone smiling
and by surprise. Ice cream a la
Sigma and Alpha dainties, were
served and dancing resumed until
1:30.

Cataracts of fear, hatred, jealousy selfishness have enveloped the people's vision, through sinister influences of material origin for mercenary ends. The scene is appalling; the suspense is tense; this condition cannot survive. In this dense, hungry creatures are clamoring for release. Souls free-born, conscience and with light divine, have arise asking more light to freedom, that the light may feast abundant on spiritual things. We paranose whom "The Eternal Presence" has willed his children. Modern Spiritualism, the Genesis of systems, of yesterday and to-day, give claim by knowledge acquired and through demonstration to this fact. Thus we feel no hesitancy and declare with emphasis that through the organism of Mediums of honest report we have obtained evidence conclusive; that we are spirit in and out of the body, being component part of God, Spirit, and cannot die that death is the gate of endless joy.

ARRISBURG, Pa., March 6—communications dealing with the issues, problems of defense and communities plans of defense in Pennsylvania were emailed in the report made public last week by the Findings Committee of defense to consider needs of a large population of the state there in January. The meeting is presided over by Dr. Ellen C. Manatee secretary of welfare.

encourage young people to train for community work, establishment of community centers in mining regions, and that welfare workers in community organizations are among employees in the welfare programs.
Recommendations relating to dependency problems proposed that a survey be made of the field of child dependency with a view of erection of a home for border-line children and first-class family homes for training dependent children; that steps be taken to make it possible to keep more children in their own homes and that a home be erected in Pittsburgh for destitute men and another home in the same city for fallen or wayward girls and women. Community plans recommended were that children be educated regarding inter-racial facts through distribution of proper literature in school, a co-ordinating program to be established by the states, to reach all agencies serving Negroes so that any community may have at its disposal, the services of all such agencies in the states established by all centers of Negro population to co-ordinate local agencies and to work for assimilation of the Negro masses; that Negro labor be diffused throughout the State by aid of the Department of Labor or other departments, and that greater emphasis be placed on the assimilation of the Negro masses, with a special program in each center of Negro population on a scale similar to the Americanization program among the foreign born. The committee recommended that a proposed survey of welfare conditions among Negroes in Pennsylvania be undertaken and completed at the earliest possible date and that it be followed by a constructive state program.

Watchman Averts Big Whiskey Haul
The vigilance of Timothy Willis, watchman for the W. J. Glimore Wholesale Drug Company last Wednesday, thwarted what is believed to have been an attempt at a wholesale whiskey robbery early Wednesday morning, according to J. B. McCormick, manager of the firm.
While making his rounds of the building Timothy Willis, who has been employed for more than 20 years as a night custodian of the establishment, discovered fresh snow prints in the shipping room on the first floor. Knowing that no other person had a right to be in the building at that time and suspecting robbers, Willis telephoned to McCormick at his home, and to police officers. The robbers had cut the burglar alarm wires and had jimmed the windows to gain entrance into the building. The watchman was able to detain the intruder until the arrival of the police.
It is said that over a $100,000 worth of whiskey was in the establishment. The officials of the company are loud in their praise of Willis for his exhibition of coolness and courage.

Cops Surprise ColemanHome With Nice Gift
The Coleman Home was the scene of much excitement Friday afternoon between 5 and 6 o'clock when the police patrol drove up with three big cops, of the cops came into the house with a paper in his hand and it goes without saying that everybody's attention was arrested. In front of the house people from several blocks had gathered to see what was happening. People alighted from street cars to see what the trouble was. The matron followed the cops to the door and there he pulled out a large basket of home-made bread for the boys, which had been sent up from the food show. Everybody was happy and all felt fine toward the cops.

each other in giving honor to the brothers and their distinguished guests. Bejeweled women, the fashion plate of this and surrounding cities, were in evidence everywhere, while men in their evening dress with their escorts whirled away their time in strolling or dancing to the strains of the syncopators. Never has Elkdom shown to better advantage. This old stately mansion, I dare say, has never had such an inspiring, jolly, good-natured crowd since built by their former owners. It has everything that that goes to make an ideal home such as no one could be ashamed of. Its large, spacious rooms, covered by the best tapestry that money can buy; its large reception hall and beautiful chandeliers, was panorama worth coping miles to see. This is what Pittsburgh has waited for. This, a long felt want, is now a realization—not a dream.
Much praise can be given to the untiring efforts of the committee who was in charge, for they did things well. While we give praise to G. E. K. Hon J. Finley Wilson for his most timely and instructive ideals, we must not overlook our giant gift of oratory, W. H. W. Stanton, whom we all take off our hats to. Although laboring under a handicraft, our deputy, Charles Gantt, with the assistance of E. R. Bro. Wesley Lane, Majors Lewis and a host of other progressive brothers, are responsible for this lovely home of the I. B. P. O. E. of W., in center avenue. Col. Thomas Boston had charge of the cats, and he fed well. Brother Robert Williams had charge of the door and saw that everyone had a good time. P. E. R. Frank Bay looked after the welfare of all the ladies—some job, Frank. Let me in on it some time.
After the opening night, which was Tuesday, when the thousands who came to hear the great speakers and take part in the banquet, they were told that there, was still more fun and good Elk time on Wednesday, the 27th, and like the previous night, every nook and corner was filled with visit - and automobiles were strung along Center avenue for squares. Everybody enjoyed themselves till the wee hours when all went to their homes singing praises of Iron City Lodge No. 17, I. B. P. O. E. of W. The committee was composed of the following names: Wesley Lane, Oville Major, William S. Lewis, Frank Bay, James C. D gross, Charles Wayne, C. W. Gant, James E. Curtis, George Wade, chairman. Music was furnished by Iron City Orchestra, conducted by James G. Jenkins.

In loving memory of Walter Fairfax Cole, who died four years ago today, February 26, 1920.

Recalls the smile, the love, the voice of him who had sat there.
Dear Walter, you are not forgotten, and never shall, you be As long life and memory last we shall remember thee.

Foster's Giants Lead Way, Others To Follow Soon
Many New Faces to be Seen Among Eastern Entries — New League Promises to be Strong.
(By Special Correspondent)
With the baseball season fast approaching, players East and West are getting ready to answer the call to the diamond. Although there are quite a few players from different team, new playing in Cuba, California and Palm Beach, Andrew Ruble Foster and his American Giants were the first to grab their bat bags and sink cases and hike to the sunny south for their initial limbering up. The club in charge of Capitol Demos, leaving for Houston, Texas, where they will be joined by Coach Manager, Foster, who has been in Hot Springs for about three weeks.
According to reports, other clubs will go into spring training about
This is sure to be a banner year for football among our group, barring few exceptions.
In my travels from the west to the east the past month, and stopping at various points en route, there are seemingly many complexing problems confronting both sections. At the same time, they are of such trial matters, at present, that with the smallest amount of precaution, can be very easily remedied.
The acquisition of Birmingham is sure to help in clubs going there, the past season, report reaping a harvest. St. Louis is bound to be unrestrained and the Hot Tamale team-bring over a club just a trifle better than the one which made the trip the past season, things will wax warm in the Western circuit the coming season.
The East
At Pittsburgh, there seems to be a plan on foot to have the strongest team outside of the organized ranks, one that holds fair to beat anything in the East or West. This team is augmented by Beckwith, of American Giant, Dismukes and Williams of A. B. C. and the pick of the surrounding district. There are quite a few new managers in the east. Some of the fans put up a bowl when the veteran Joe Williams was rephed by Gans, but Keenan evidently stuck to his cars, as the last report has Williams signed with a club other than the Lincoln. If Holland and Dave Brown can deliver for the Lincoln as they are doing in Cuba the Lincoln should make things hot for the Hildaleids, last year perennial winners. Warfield seems to have been as Popular as the Veteran Lloyd in and around the city of "brotherly love" as his selection as Lloyd's successor, met with approval of all the fans in general. From what we learned at Philadelphia, Markey will be shifted from behind the bat to the vacancy BM by the release of Lloyd.
We could gather very little news about the Royals, as the Lincoln Giants' little scrap had about monopolize the baseball gossip rather than that first baseball Douglas will again announce the club. De Taylor after many reverses at Washington, has been admitted to the bench and will be in a position to offer the fans at Washington once his class attraction, the Jack Nicklaus game, is attended. He got to offer the fans there the past season. Walt is varied experience. Typhoon could be able to put a team up to field in to cope with any club he location.

'Pop' Watkins, Noted Baseball Figure, Is Dead
DURHAM, N. C., March 6—"Pop" Watkins, manager of the Havana Red Sox of Northern New York, and one of the most historic diamond figures in the country, died here last Friday morning.
Watkins came South in November and had planned to leave for Watertown, N. Y., with his club in April. He had been in failing health for several months, "Pop," as he was called everywhere, caught for the Original Cuban Grants for 15 years, and during his career as a manager turned out such men as Duncan, Wallace, Forrest, McDonald, Lander, Cockrell, Scotland, Watkins, Dixon and many others.
The entire baseball world mourns his death.
on trial with a big salary offer and has let it be known that Day, Holloway, Blackman and Cooper of the A. B. C. Club would, or rather had signed, also one Johnston from Kansas City. From the above mentioned players, the club should change its name to A. B. C.
If memory serves me right, there was a plan on foot at one time to transfer the Indianapolis club to Baltimore, but not in the like manner. The Cuban Stars playing in the East, under the capable leadership of the veteran short-stop, Chacon, had about the next best team in the East and past season, and we can learn nothing of their makeup for the coming season before their arrival on American soil.
After being given the gate by the Hilldale management, Lloyd affixed his signature to a Bacharach Giant contract, and will direct the success or destiny of the seashore brigade the coming season, replacing Lundy. Rumors has Lloyd playing second and Lundy short.
Dear reader, wouldn't it be better were the two sections on playing terms?
American Giants Training In Texas
CHICAGO, Ill., March 6—The American Giants, with Captain DeMoss in charge, engrained Saturday morning for Texas, where they will prepare themselves for the strenuous campaign anent the 1924 baseball season. President "Rube" Foster will pick up the players in Arkansas. Several of the old-timers, notably among them "Dicta" Johnson and Beckwith, will be among the missing. Beckwith is going to Pittsburgh to play with the "Home-teed Grays," crack independent team of that city.

NEW YORK, Mar. 6—For a long time, and especially since the recent Howard-Lincoln game in Philadelphia, Alumni of both institutions have been in-listing that future games ought to be staged in New York. They point to the fact that accommodations are available in New York which do not preclude in any other city; and that there is more opportunity after the game than is possible elsewhere. There has been started a well determined activation on the part of the alumni of both institutions, who live in and around the Metropolis, to induce the authorities of the two schools to consent to have the game played at either a re- or the big parks in New York. They claim it is almost self-evident that with the large-population in New York, and the large

YOUNGSTOWN, O., March 6—The Washington Athletic Club of this city will hold an all-star boxing show at the Rayen-Wood auditorium, featuring two star 10-round bouts in a double main event.
Frisco Kid, claimant of the colored welterweight title and one of the most popular boxers to show his wares here, will meet Battling Lawrence, West Virginia bearcat, in one of the main events. The winner of this bout will be matched with Panama Joe Gans.
In the other feature bout: Nubby Joe Gans is to box Battling[Brown of Pittsburgh]. This bout promises to be a real humdinger. Gans, who holds the colored lightweight championship of the world, recently returned from Cuba, where during the winter he defeated such boxers as Johnny Lisse, Archie Walker and the Cuban welterweight champion. Brown, according to all reports, is a comer and an set to give Gans his life. Promoter George Patterson of the Booker T. Washington Club, has about decided to make this show a popular price affair, which, no doubt, will meet the approval of most of the boxing fans of the city.

Washington Potomacs To Train In Texas
PHILADELPHIA, Pa., March 6—George W.

Their home games will be played on that field this year. Ben leaves on the fifteenth to chaperon a party of ball haws from the wilde of Texas to the Capitol City for spring training.

In addition to this it is believed that the large number of visitors who attend these games, and which is growing by leap and bounds each year, would much prefer to be in New York for this game than elsewhere for a great many people who make long journeys for the Classic, and who do not happen to have friends in either Washington or Philadelphia, there is no other attraction for them during their stay except the game itself, for Washington affords practically no means of diversion or entertainment and those in Philadelphia are comparatively few while in New York the stranger can always find something to make his life worth while.

Hampton To Hold Big Track And Field Meet On May 17
Third Annual Championship Event Has Sanction of Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association.
By CHARLES H. WILLIAMS
HAMPTON, MA, March 6—Since the opening of Armstrong Field at Hampton Institute in 1922, it has been the custom to hold each year a meeting, to which the various universities, colleges and high schools have sent representative teams.
The third annual championship track and field meet will be held on Armstrong Field, on Saturday, May 17. The meet is sanctioned by the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association, which is a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association. The meet this year has an added attraction for college athletes with exceptional ability. Those who win championships in the track and field meet, and who are of Olympic caliber, will be able to compete in the sectional tryouts for the Olympic team. The three-place winners in the sectional tryouts will be selected for the final tryouts to be held in Boston, on June 13-14. This arrangement to select men who make outstanding records in the Hampton meet for the

Perth Amboy Defeated By Southwest 'Y'
"The Philadelphia, Southwest Big "Y" volley ball team, composed of business and professional men, met and took the upper Jersey Y. M. C. A. six into camp after a five-game siege in which the visitors won the first game 15-10. Southwest the second 15-8, visitors coming back again winning the third 15-6, with our "Home Team Hopes" finishing the match winning fourth 15-5, and fifth 15-12 all by small margins. With the real dubious resistance put up by both teams, nor the tense or excitement that pervaded the huge Central branch gym, where the two teams clasped last Saturday night.
Southwest Holes in Punch
It was morale that kept Southwest from crumbling under the attack of the visiting team who had "smashers" who used both right and left hand, and varied it with clever placement" which brought the defensive work up to an unusual standard. Captain B. H. George, Dr. M. B. Dahney, Dr. G. A. Jenkins, Dr. L. P. Gordon, Dr. A. R. Thomas and Mr. William E. Griffin started the works for the Christian Street team. Dr. W. C. Brannon and Dr. J. P. Turner were called into the play at critical periods and showed a real reserve ability.
Saturday evening, March S. The Southwest team will play Brooklyn Central Branch Y. M. C. A. in a five-game match. This will test the home team's ability when meeting a first-rate team on their home board. Fans are invited to make the trip.
Cubans Strengthen Lineup For Season; Chacon To Lead Club
NEW YORK. March 6—Manager Alex Pompex of the Cuban Stars of Havana, Cuba, members of the Eastern League, is making great preparations for the coming season and will leave within a few days for Havana to get a few famous clips together. All of them at present are playing winter ball in the Cuban League. The Cubans last season were in the runner-up position, and it reports are true, will be stronger than ever this year.
An All-Star Lineup
The following players have been signed up; Galeto and Ferrandi, catcher; Oscal, Fabre, Juanelo, Lopez, Martinez and Sanchez, pitcher; Dhigo, first base; Jiminez, second base; Portuano, third base; Chacon, shortstop, captain, and Baro, Omar and Moss in the outfield. This will be the strongest team of players that ever left the Pearl of the Antilles. Manager Pompez will bring the team along with him about the middle of April, and the first games en route North will be at Washington. D. C., where three Eastern league games will be played with Ben Taylor, Washington Potomac or April 21. 23 and 26.

By F. A. PARKER
B. F. T. A. PARKER
INSTITUTE, W. Va., March 6—
In a speedy, hard-fought game
featured by clever passing and wonderful
team work, the goal tossers of the West Virginia Collegiate Institute surprised the "Wonder-Team" of Wilberforce University, and handed them their only defeat in 15 games by the score of 23 to 14.
An account of the game is the same old story, and triumph of team work over individual players. The Wilberforceans handled the ball like men who were quite familiar with everything connected with basketball. The dribbling and dodging of "Pete" Willett and "Woofang" Ward were exhibitions such as have never before been seen in the West Virginia court. The work of Hudson at center, too, was a wonderful display of that lanky lad's ability to handle a basketball. But Institute led a well-drilled team of versatile and agile men which repeatedly broke up the attempts of the Ohio stars, and which in turn by short accurate passes carried the ball with startling rapidity to the opponent's goal. The floor work of Gaiters at center, the speed of Drain and Sinclair at forward, and the very good guarding of both White and Cultures were very much in evidence throughout the game.
Newark American Giants In Field
NEWARK, N. J., March 6—The Colored people of Newark are awake after having been asleep for years, and being awake have come to a realization of the fact that Newark with thousands of colored people among her population should have a representative colored baseball team. With this end in view a group of colored business men have organized the "Newark American As-sociation" to promote "The Newark American Giants." Incorporating papers authorizing a capital of $15,000 will be sent to Treston this week, and Charles E. Holmes, the manager, has signed some promising youngsters together with a few stars at a guaranteed salary and a bonus for games won. We intend to make the name of the Newark American Giants respected in baseball land. Our full lineup will be announced soon and on it are going to be some players that any of the other leading colored clubs would be glad to have.
The white papers here in Newark, mainly The Newark Ledger, after seeing that we mean business, are playing us up strong and giving us lots of space, and we have promised them that we will make the Newark American Giants a credit to Newark and the colored people. And we are going to keep that promise.
We are also going to give some players a tryout, as there is a possibility of finding a few "diamonds in the rough."
Good baseball players in this vicinity wishing a tryout, write stating the position they play are requested to write to The Newark American Giants. Charles E. Holmes, manager of Waverly avenue, Newark, N. J.

BASKET BALL LEAGUE TITLE IN QUESTION
BASEBALL
The mathematical side of the controversy between the East and West figures something like this: Bolien is minus one thousand plunks, while the west is minus some nifty baseball material. The West has added one thousand plunks to their treasury, while the East has added the cream of playing talent to their roster.
1923 Losses and Gains
Kansas City, Carr; Chicago, Dave Brown; Detroit, Warfield, Holland and Thomas; Indianapolis, B. Taylor, Clark, Carr, Ross, Eggleston, Mackey, Hampton and Mahoney.
1924 Casuals
Kansas City, Johnson; Chicago and Detroit, none; Indianapolis, Charleston, Day, Dismuses, Blackmon, Williams, Holloway, Shively, Corbett, Cooper and Burnett.
Although the fight seems to hinge between one Ed Bolden of the East and one "Rube" Foster of the West, Indianapolis seems to be the greatest loser.
Rube Foster's American Giants who are the taller guard outfielder. Rube will pick up a good boy while in the south.
There is a rumor that Williams, the short stop of last season's A. II. C. Club, will accompany Burnett and "Hoboe" Leonard to Lincoln Ginnat. Williams, who signed the contract with Ginnat and will be rumor, but there is "mmy a slip twist the cup and the lip."
There is one thing certain. Eastern baseball magnates are picking up some big bloomers among the stars. Watch the exodus of the lineups about Decoration Day.
The writer has seen last season's illidale, Lincoln Giants, American Giants, Kansas City Monarchs and Pittsburgh Pirates have yet to see a more consistent right hand hitter than "No" Harris and left hand hitter than "Win" Harris.
Homestead Grays now have 14 of their 21 Saturday dates filled. These teams have been the best in Bellevue, West Newton, Uniontown, Jeannette Braddock Elks still clamoring for home and home series.
"Hugs" Hoberts, the captain and assistant manager of Pittsburgh Giants, is busy lining up a pitcher, his woman and hard-hitting outfielder, and out the material already at hand.
Louisville, last season's Homestead Grays catcher, is reported as signed with illidale.
Baltimore Black Sox present a formidable array with Rolo佐恩 catching it all. The Orioles' Wilson, first base; Bly, second base; Fisher, shortstop; Blackman, third base; Jim Jung, Wilson, third baseman; Jim Hollaway, brownie; Holloway, rightfield; "Possum" Poles, utility. This is a good team, but last shortstop Kemp, Bluney Hull was good if got better than the present outfielder, especially in fielding. With Rolo佐恩 catching it all, R.C. the infielder will miss Cheo Smith's hitting.
Speaking of outfields, give me "Jolly Roll" Gardner, Stearns of DeKalb, well dealt with. However, this trio does not compare with Shively, Charleston, Lions of C. J. Taylor's 1916 Club.
Branham, Leffy, Williams, Dlamukes, Clark still look to good, good.

BOOK REVIEW
THE IRON PUDDLER (My Life-in the Rolling Mills and What Came of
10) by James’J. Davis, Secretary of Labor in the Harding and Coo!-
idte Cabinets. ‘The Bobbs-Merrill Company, Publishers, Indianapolis,
Ind. 276 Pages.. Price $2.00.
dames J. Davis, the ‘present Secretary of Labor, was-born in Tredegar,
Wales, 50 years.ago: He came to America at the age of 8. He is descended
from a family of iron-workers. He started out in that trade himself at
Sharon, Pa., when only 11 years of age. At 16 he was a master puddler.
He roamed over the country working at his trade, from Sharon to Pitts-
burkh, and from Pittsburgh ‘into Ohio, and from Ohio to Birmingham.
He was caught in-a convict camp in Louisiana. He came back to Indiana
and there laid the foundation for his later successes. He became a master
tin worker, was elected president of the-tiri-plate workers’ union. From
there he was elected city clerk at Elwood, then county recorder, and.s0 on
up the political ladder.
Mr, Davis, like Sinclair Lewis's George F. Babbit, is a born booster.
He believes there is nothing like work. He.preaches work. He is bitterly
opposed: to agitators and Red propagandists, He is against unrestricted
immigration; although he is an immigrant. In short, he is an American,
just as much so as 4f he had been born here. His philosophy of govern-
ment and his beliefs on capital and labor are sound. He favors the union,
and ‘he favors the workers getting good pay and the best possible working
conditions, but he is against outlaw strikes and unreasonable demands,
from either capital or labor. He is a “good mixer.” As chief promoter of
“Mooseheart,” the famous school in Illinois, he is known as one of the
foremost educators of the country. .
‘Mr, Davis has a healthy distaste for “reformers.” He says work in
the milis under any conditions never hurt him, and according to his story
he did about as Hard-work as there is to be found. He thinks the work-
ers are able to take care of themselves without the interference of out-
siders, because hesays the worker knows what is best for himself better
than the outsider does, His arguments along these lines are convincing:
‘The! book is easily read. The author has a kind of extemporaneous
sinig bleh is nunetuated with jokes, ete, which Keeps the story lively,
Ie's-an especially goBd book for growing boys and girls—filled with am
bition and the will’to do and be. Like Edward Bok, Davis made his mark
by sheer work, hard work, and he offers that as the only true way up for
any other ambitious youthful ‘aspirants to higher things. And we think
Davis is right. tke ea
CONQUEST OF COOMASSIE, an-Epic.of the Mashanti Nation, by Alde-
“baran, with illustrations, by Henry M. Brooks. Published by the Coo-
-massie Publishing Company, 1315 East Twelfth Street, Los Angeles,
Cal, 130 Pages. Price $2.00."
‘The Conquest of Coomassie is an epic poem, a tale of the African
people, giving a vivid yisioned description of the glory of ancient Ethiopia.
It was written by a West Indian who has traveled abroad extensively, and
is said to be unusvally familiar-with his subject, ‘George S. Grant, in his
introduction, says:-““The Conquest of Coomassie” challenges the western
civilization; reveals its paucity of purpose, and, prophesies its downfall.
Its message to black people is invaluable; the recital of the heroic achieve-
ments and grandeur of Ancient ‘Ethiopia irresistibly. supports the virile
suggestion contained in “Wake! mighty men of Ethiop’s line.”
aeomassie as the capital of an African confederacy known, as Ma:
shanti, and wis built by Ossi Tutu the Great, early in the Seventeenth
Century, The story tells how the British, by artful treachery, abused
treaties ‘and agreements with the natives, took advantage of their weak-
ness, and finally conquered them. The book is an effort to inspire con-
fidence and respect in Negroes. of today by praising their African an-
cestors.” The question is asked: Who were your ancestors? Then an-
swered: Sir. Black Man, do you know that your forefathers were a highly
civilized” people when the ancestors of the present day white man: were
savages in the wilds of Europe and Asie?, That your ancestors originated
the Sciences, Arts, Philosophies and Laws that now govern the world?
That black men have maintained this hierarchy on the African continent
Up to tle present day? -

but the poetry is beautiful and wéll worth reading. The illustrations are

LOST DOG HIKES 2000 MILES
Collie Finds His Way Home From Iowa to Oregon
SILVERTON, Ore., March 6. —
He was just an ordinary collie dog. But's dog, no matter how lowly, wants to be the dog. So faithfully to his master, the dog which did appear last summer while he. B. Blazier was touring by automobile in Iowa, one night this week, came trotting home to Blazier's restaurant here, two thousand miles away.
His toe nails were worn off by his long hike, but he was in good condition and apparently well fed. The faithful collie wagged his tail overmuch and went to his customary place behind the restaurant for his nightly bone, just as if he hadn't been away at all.

CHICAGO, MAR. 6.—H a husband lends his wife to his friends for an occasional party, he must prepare for the consequences. This is the attitude of Mrs. Robert E. O'Donnell, who replied today that she didn't care a bang if he does get the divorce he has asked. O'Donnell got into a habit of inviting his pals to take her out for the evening. Mrs. O'Donnell declared. Eventually he filed a divorce petition, naming Arnold Greenhush, his best friend, and several other co-respondents. "He married me to avoid the draft, anyway," she declared, "and Mr. Greenhush, who gave me food and shelter when my husband me out of our home with blows," was cited in France for bringing in 15 German prisoners.

The caveman, who gave the name of Dick Fisher, was taken into custody by Detective Frank McCabe and Art Contron of Valderde. Wheel captured, the caveman, wearing his overcoat made of a double-fold of grain gunny sacks, had a knife in his hand and home cave in the outskirts of Denver. He told Detective McCabe that the canine was ill and he was taking it home to see what he could do for it. Residents complain that he has
Farmer Invents "Squealophone"
Farmer Invents "Squealophone"
Jed Starkweather, a young farmer near St. Albans, t., who specializes in pigs, and usually has from 50 to 100 on hand and of assorted sizes, has constructed a sealiphone. The sealiphone is a musical contrivance in which live pigs of various ages and vocal tones furnish the notes.
Jed first made eight small boxes, bound together by two white sheet iron bands. Into each box he puts a pig whose seal is the same as the pig's original seal of the musical octave. The weight of the pigs ranges from 100 down to about thirty pounds. By pulling or twisting their tails the pigs are made to seal, and thus jed is enabled to play many of the standard melodies, such as *Home*, *Snag Home*, *Last Ride* of *Summer River*, *etc*. Hardly a day passes that Jed doesn't have visitors eager to listen to his animated sealiphone.

Fisher is more than 60 years old. He was locked up at headquarters for observation. He has been living in the cave since last summer, police believe.

He said it would be possible to witness in motion picture football game and while comfortably seated indoors in a city miles [from the scene], Prize rights and ceremonies of national importance could be flashed to all parts of the country and seen by millions.

AMERICA'S GREAT
Wylie PITT
Avenue
Notwithstanding the wild rumors concerning the estrangement of a certain professional man and his wife, they are still living together peacefully at the same address.
FRIENDS of the Column might be interested in knowing that the $8.90, representing prescription fees of Ed. Bailey's apothecary, shop has been returned, and Ed. Bailey says the Column deserves credit for locating it. Thanks.
But we haven't been able to locate Lola Jesseme's "French"—for which $25 is offered and no questions asked.
IT WAS nearing the "wee hours of the morning." The lady remained on one side of the Avenue, while the gentleman, crossed over, and entered a Negro hotel. He remained inside about ten minutes, and entered the waiting lady. Both crossed over, entered the hotel and registered.
Wonder if it ever occurred to the clerk: that it is unusual for respectable white couples to leave the downtown section—where all modern accommodations are to be had—and inquire; here and there for an establishment conducted by a Negro and did not occur to the clerk wrong with the whole procedure, when a man leaves his "wife" outside while he enters to inquire about being accommodated.
Yes, we wonder!
This practice of Negro citizens and merchantmen catering to the scum of other races at the expense of their own, must be stopped—especially when confined to sections where Negroes are thickly settled.
And somebody is going to stop it.
THE Little Savoy "Hoochery," at Townsend street, is no more. The police have finally convinced Mr. Silverman that he must go straight or quit going.
The fact that he preferred the latter course serves to prove the Column's contention that this class of Jews are in our midst for no good purpose.
Next!
THE gentleman who misconstrued our account of the family which moved from the Avenue last week will be pitted by some commended by us.
We offer no pity to Negroes who aspire to leadership and fail to make use of our free schools—day or night.
HROUGH some misunderstand-
ing. Jim Gross has named his
The Jim Gross has made the "Little Paris" establishment the "Little Paris". This name is far from being appropriate because Parisian cakes are seldom underground and also because French people prefer and advertise French cooking—not Chinese or American. The Column is of the opinion that Jim will be compelled to change that sign because it is understood that patrons will have something to say about the name. However, the formal opening will take place Tuesday, March 11, afternoon and evening, at which time we advise each person to register their opinion as to whether the name is appropriate or not.
Leave your bottles at home—and don't expect Jim to lend you one.
THE intellectuals of the Avenue are up in arms over the Negro weeklies giving so much space to the account of a white woman placing an oppose in which the white man kisses the Negro's hand—in the final act. The Column's opinion has been requested, so here she goes:
In view of the fact that all trained and recognized leaders of our race are fighting incessantly for equal industrial and professional opportunities for members of our race, it seems like an act of contradiction to emphasize this incident and give it more importance. A white woman is making a sacrifice. In a number of trades and professions, with which we are familiar, some white woman is working opposite a Negro day by day, in sections of a building, or in separate rooms set aside for that particular work—and each regard the other as a superior. The results obtained by such a combination are satisfactory because their relations with each other are anything but those pictured by the "Southern white"—or those people whose mental dynamos are impelled by unfulfilled anticipations. Workers who excel are too busy with their white faces working opposite to be elements of undue emphasis or distraction, because it is nausea and ordinary.
Dramatizing this particular play is the work of a man for monetary considerations only, has no endorsement from either race, therefore, it represents none—other than an outburst of insults to the surmise pay. The hand-kissing is a part of the player's work, and represents no mental, moral, physical or financial standard of either race. The kissed or kisser gains or loses no more by this incident than they would if the Negro was pictured as the future Saviour—because, after all, the entire play is the interpreter of the play, which is not substantiated by actual facts. So, if the play is a great play, Mr. Robeson a great actor, Miss Blair a great actress, the status of the play

and phyliers are too nearly equal to emphasize the color of opposite players, where they play or whom they kiss.
Evidently, this news item was written by a youngster who is unfamiliar with the fundamentals of propaganda or the relations of the two races. Instead of a racial achievement as set forth by the weeklies, it is an unscrupulous piece of degradation, accepted by weeklies without consideration to the efforts of institutions who have—and are still—hammering away for equal opportunities to display our talents and thereby earn a decent livelihood.
This style of propaganda does no good.
MR. CHARLES S. GILIPIN is in our midst. We understand that the Pitt Theater was sold out four days in advance. Two years ago Mr. Gilpin was here in "Emperor Jones." Progressive organizations were debating each other whether would he him. The Business Men's League planned to arrange a spread at Loenildi Club, but were informed by Mr. Gilpin that he could not attend.
Harry Collins prepared a sumptuous dinner, built around Jumbo Squabs, sent out invitations, with cards of acceptance, decorated with flowers printed in Days Sepia, with the likeness of Mr. Gilpin there, plate cards, etc. Over 100 people accepted and began to file in Collins' Inn dining room early in the evening—prepared for an evening of sycophancy, entertainment and hero-worshiping. There were doctors, nurses, bankers, preachers and business men—all successful in their respective vocations.
Mr. Glipin arrived, spent some time downstairs, and after being reminded several times of the waiting throng, made his way upstairs, looked in the rear of the living room, about and returned downstairs.
In a conversation with Frank Sutton recently he said that nobody seemed to know him and that, he felt that he was out of place. We will grant that nobody knew him, because he became the GREAT Charles Gilpin overnight and this was his first visit to Pittsburgh as the race's greatest triumph, but he acknowledged introduction to the polished Mr. Randolph, a lover of art, who was master of ceremonies and who would have introduced him as none but Mr. Randolph could. He returned to the downstairs without a word of apology for his sudden decision, unminful of the brains who had put aside their work, their business in order to do honor to Mr. Gilpin setting at naught the study, the Gilpin, the Gilpin and his organization in seeing that every little detail be in order, so that the function would be void of flaws and errors.
Mr. Gilpin probably expected some "kow-towing" as did the West Indian subjects to Emperor Jones." But the people present were not ignorant peasants—but great men—men who, like Mr. Gilpin, had been on the ropes, called upon their reserve stamina, fought back—and won. They had expected to make on their appreciation of another great man—but were disappointed, for Mr. Gilpin is a great actor, but a small man, and on this occasion he proved it. It is understood that he was to appear at Labor Temple last night night—an affair conducted, by Negroes. As yet he has not shown up. But they say he visited the New Lincoln Theater, operated by Harry Tannenbaum (who is not a Negro) and made a few remembrances for people, her in a conversation, which was not intended for publication, he is quoted as saying: "I am not interested in the race problem."
And considering the ungrateful acts as here recorded, we actually believe that Mr. Gilpin is not interested in the problem or the race. We would enjoy seeing Mr. Gilpin 365 days out of every year. But as a NogAN M—well, keep him in New York, or any city but Pittsburgh.
THE business interests of the Avenue are to have a baseball game games on the games-broad. Players who like to chase the hidden sphere, get in touch with Nate Harris or Ed. Bailey as soon as possible.

TIMES DEMAND YOUNG MAN MUST 'TRAIN' TO BE A MODEL HUSBAND
Negro Dialect Is Defended By English Prof.
NEW YORK, March 6—Negro-
syntax and pronunciation has no
other origin than English, said G.
K-Prapp, professor of English
at Columbia University, in a
recent lecture here, writes an "Asso-
sociated Press Dispatch" from
Stanford University, Cal.
There remains no trace of any alien speech which the Negroes might have had at first. Professor Krapp pointed out. He added that the words "voo-doo" and "hooodoo" might possibly be of African origin but the word "jazz" and "tote" and many other slang expressions spread by the American Negro were ancient English derivatives.
KILLS 1,380 CROWS AT NIGHT
Birds Fly Right Back to Tree After Many Are Shot
SMITH CENTER, Kan., March 6
—Clyde Patterson, a Smith County farmer, took to the county clerk, office the other day 1,380 crow heads and collected a bounty of $138 for them. The crows were killed on the Paterson farms in three nights. Killing crows at night is quite a popular sport and also quite profitable if the hunter has any luck in finding a tree full of crowds. When a shot is fired into the flock the birds fly around for a moment and come right back to their roost. Crows have been known to carry out nearly every county offers a bounty for their heads.
Some maintain that a year or so at a coed center of learning is the most effective training ground for husbands; others that the "highly specialized clam methods used by Summer girls when they put their husbands on the floor, times turn out a finished product within two weeks' time. But it has remained for the Brooklyn Y. M. C. A., white, to institute a six weeks' course of lectures with the frankly avowed purpose of helping young men to fit themselves for matrimony. April 1 will be the date of the first lecture—which may or may not be significant. Time will tell.
Being serious, as everybody knows, is one of the funniest things in the world, and earnestness has been under a cloud for so long that it takes a brave man to uphold it. They are not moral courage. The powers that he are not blind to the fact that people are laughing—they themselves concede that it is amusing, but they uphold their opinions so sincerely and back them up with such vigorous common, sense that many of those who come to scoffre remain, if not to at least to hope for their success.
Carroll M. Gibney, the director of the educational department at Central branch, is a young married man, has a healthy son aged 3, and is a strong advocate of happy married life. He feels that much can be done to help smooth matters out for new parents, and he has planned he has canned. The idea has been in the back of his head for nearly ten years and has grown and flourished as a result of his observation of matrimonial ventures and his discussions with many people. And after one gets through giggling at the idea of a group of earnest young men, he learns that means and hows and why (while the girls they have in mind may be at the movies with some less worthful,) it isn't so amusing as it seems at first blush.
Laughter Can't Stop It
Mr. Gibney says: "No human under-
taking is more important than

Egyptian Jewelry In Vogue Brings Tales of The Gleaming Emerald.
Jewelry in the early days of its use was worn for a symbolic reason as well as for its beauty and ornamentation. Old Egyptian jewelry is particularly interesting because the different articles were supposed to have magic powers or were able to ward off evil.
The scarab ring was the emblem of the resurrection of the dead. The scarecrow a shortening of the scientific name for the beetle, was made of timber or green glass in such a way that, turned on one side, the outline of the insect was revealed, while the other was carved with symbols portraying life, death, resurrection and immortality. The stone was made of a gold ring and with a wire running through it might be threaded with either side worn out.
Bright Hues Were Favored
The Egyptian used all the precious stones of delightful colors, as well as many brightly colored glasses which were often cemented together in picture designs like the one you see in the bottom. The emerald was of favorite of Egyptian days, for it was much in demand for carving and enaming.
In Cooptos, Egypt are found tools evidently used by miners, huge barricet-like buildings, large enough to hold 2,000 people, which were probably the father of slaves who worked in the mines. The main sources of emeralds today are Peru and Colombia in South America, those from Peru, being of most value and having the most intense color. Emeralds in smaller quantities are found in New Wales, Siberia, Hindustan, Norway and North Carolina in the United States.
Especially fine emeralds are referred to as "fine old Spanish emeralds" even though no emeralds were mined in Spain. When Peru was conquered by Spain an enormous quantity of highly prized emeralds was brought back to Spain where they were distributed among a number of families.
The emerald is rated next to the ruby in value because of its charming color. Emeralds are generally not large in size, but when a large specimen is found, it is rarely without a flaw. Yet the emerald is the only stone in which an imperfection does not detract from its value.
The emerald is one of the softest of precious stones and when heated to a certain degree will become of a blue hue, recovering its natural color when cool. If the stone is subjected to an extreme heat, it becomes opaque.
The emerald brings good luck to those born in May.
marriage, and yet ione is entered with less preparation—especially on the part of the men. I believe there would be far less work for the divorce courts if both men and girls were to be married. They ought to be equally intelligent in the matter of managing their affairs, not each relying on the other to do the lion's share and neither one capable.
"Some of the papers have described him as a man who pick his wife. That is not our idea at all; we wouldn't attempt anything, so arbitrary, as that.
"This thing broke too soon—I had no idea that all this stir would be made. It may not be a success at all, but it will be if it is, we'll have a longer and more complete course in the winter session of classes."
Matrimonial Wisdom
"Needless to say, he has a number of theories of his own. He believes that, people should not wait for the woman to speak before he la s3, generally speaking. He says that if they can't make ends meet unless the woman works
too, let her keep her job rather than let too many years pass, but not work any longer than she really has to. Marriage without mutual sex attraction will then failure, he and children are an insurance of happiness.
He was asked what quality drew a man to a girl at first, and gave as his opinion that style was the important thing, much more potent a charm than just prettiness. In the girls of today from the manners of their mothers, or even of older sisters, have ind like changes in the boys to keep pace with them; that there is no great discrepancy of ideas and ideas between the two, as so many would have us think. We should to have a parallel course for girls, under the direction of the Y. W. C. A., and, at the conclusion of each course, intrude the members of the respective classes?
Mr. Gibney laughed and declared that the matter hadn't gone that far, implying that the proof of the existence of children in private eating, not institutional.
Let this be said to those who laugh: At no time has the Brooklyn "Y" promised its matrimonial puns, but a certificate of graduation from course will have any weight whatsoever with the Coy opposite sex.

Advocates Race Pageant on Fair Grounds In U.S. Dr. J. H. Love, Presides at Annual Meeting of Fair Association in Washington
WASHINGTON, D. G., Mar. 6. The second annual, meeting of the National Association of Colored Fairs was held in Wash. D. C., Feb. 22, at the New Liberty Hotel. Dr. J. H. Love, of Raleigh, N. C., is president and R. H. Cross of Norfolk, Va., is secretary and treasurer. The meeting was addressed by Dr. Roscoe G. Simmons of Chicago, Ill., and Dr. Emmanuel J. Scott of Washington, D. C. Both addresses were inspiring and those in attendance expressed their appreciation for the many timely topics hit upon by the speakers as affecting the colored fairs. Mr. J. G. Saunders, president of the Lexington Colored Fair at Lexington, Kentucky, made a very interesting talk on the educational value fairs and showed the advantage of advertising properly, as well as largely, in order to get the de. The president, Dr. J. H. Love, in his annual address stresses the need of more training verified at being placed on exhibition at the colored fairs and advocated a Race Pageant on the fair grounds, while the fairs are being held, depicting the progress of the American Negro from the days of his ancestors in Africa to the present day, as a pageant of this kind will be staged at some of the larger fairs during the season of 1924.
The secretary R. H. Cross, in his annual report showed that the National Association carried sixty two (62) cases that the co-operative method and proved to be of great financial value along economic lines in the operation of curious fairs throughout the country. A round table talk on the topic of the organizing and operating of fairs, was one of the interesting features of the meeting. The next meeting will be held at Norfolk, Va.

Business Men's League
Business Men's Leadership
We are still doing growing by great speed and the latest mem-
bies cards show that all real live business men are getting in - the Business League, and helping to make bigger and better business in our city. A splendid program was rendered at Zion Baptist church in the interest of Mercy hospital. The program was as good as John Edison, pastor; so by Mrs. Gatewood, head nurse; "An Appeal," by Dr. E. D. Duvol Colley, chief surgeon; essay, "Civic and Business Pride," W. J. Walden; "The Good, of Our Hospital," F. A. B. Hall, president, Hospital Association. The league then presented the association $25 for a meeting Mr. W. J. Walden made a strong plea for members to show all the civic pride possible whenever opportunity presents itself. We are very much delighted to have enrolled with us Rev. William, pastor of the Southern Baptist church, and a real live business factor. We are also our hustling grecian. We still have room for membership in our league.
Among the latest visitors to our league we have been highly honored with a visit from Liberia, Africa, in the person of Mr. A. L. George, who spoke to us concerning export and import in his country. Remember our slogan, "A delegate to the National meeting this year."

These "Y" stars promise to become nationally known within the next four years. Fik Jubai Sisters, the March 10th Zion Presbyterian Church, promises to be the most largely attended of the "Y" concerts for the 1923-24 season. Miss Marian E. Anderson, is expected as the next on the Course for the season and finally comes to the concert with untold success. Avery Institute, one of the A. M. A. schools located in this city has been quite an educational factor, in that it has for more than fifty years offered the only high school training for Colored students. It is offered by Prof. B. F. Cox and a splendid corps of well-trained teachers. The Avory Five played Cuyler High of Savannah, Ga., to a great loss of 18.1.

Already the work is going forward with marked improvement. Dr. J. C. Dunbar, of the Morris Street Baptist Church, has recently hired him, indubitably, from $10,000. Dunbar has been pastor for a few months, but has proved himself to be master of the great work he came to accomplish in the name of the Most High. The subscription dance given at Dart's Casino last week was indeed a unique affair, being part of the season. Many out of town guests were present: Ms. Clarence O.

Only those who have lost can tell,
Of the grief that's borne in silence.
For the one we loved so well.
Friends may think that we forget him,
When they see us smile.
—Sadly missed by his wife and children.
One day I heard of Exelento Quinine Pomade for the hair and purchased a jar. Almost immediately it stopped all dandruff, made my hair grow long, soft and fine, and gave it a delightful sheen.
Because of the perfectly wonderful results I obtained from Exelento Quinine Pomade, I purchased a jar of Exelento Skin Beautifier. It changed my sallow complexion to a clear, lovely skin, glowing with health. For pimples and other skin blemishes, it has no equal.
If I am as beautiful as people say, it is all due to Exelento preparations. Exelento Quinine Pomade and Exelento Skin Beautifier may be obtained for only 25% at most drug stores, or will be sent postpaid upon receipt of price by the EXELENTO MEDICINE CO., Atlanta, Ga.

Make Yourself
More Attractive
USE QUINADE
No other single factor contributes so much to personal charm and atractiveness as beautiful hair. Seeby's Quinade will help to beautify and improve the hair. It will soften harsh, kinky hair, making it easier to put up in any style its length will permit.
Quinade is a medicated pomade scientifically compounded by an experienced pharmacist. It contains ingredients which stimulate the scald and roots of the hair, and which are calculated to encourage its growth.
To get best results from the use of Quinade, the scalp should be xashed regularly with Quinasoap, theides shampoo. Seeby's Quinasoap is made with a pure vegetable oil base and produces a rich, creamy lather so desirable in a shampoo. It leaves the hair so soft that it imparts a rich feeling to the scalp, uncalledered to other shampoos.
Insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Quinasoap, asking for them by the full name. If unable to obtain them at your druggist's or dealer mail us the price - Quinade $3c Quinasoap 25c—and we will send them to you postpaid. Seeby Drug Co. Rawson street and Queen boulevard. Long Island City, N. Y.

infinite. He proved that life stops

life. A beautiful solo by Mrs. Louise

Beautiful music by Temple Baptist Church choir was rendered. Tear-stained cheeks, sobbing voices and grimness from bedlammed eyes, were evidences that faith and triumph, and that Emma Nokes is merely absent, not dead, but still lives.

Charged with the murder of Bella Rossoe at Horse Pond, a small town near Charleston, S. C., about three months ago, John H. Pugh was arrested in Camden, N. J. He admitted having shot the woman, saying that she had attacked him and that he acted in self-defence and expressed a willingness to go back to South Carolina.

Charles Fred White Refuses To Vacate Bldg.
Charles Fred White, recently appointed to the State Athletic Commission by Governor Pinchot, was given orders to vacate his real estate offices in the Jefferson building on Chestnut street. Not merely content with sending him a letter to the effect, the superintendent of the building had his name removed from the building directory. Mr. White experienced the same condition in the Drexel building, also on Chestnut street. It is rumored that a 'Southerner with offices in the Jefferson building' has taken exception to the presence of a Negro tenant and is the aggressor in the movement to oust Mr. White. Given twenty-four hours to vacate, Mr. White has held his ground, refusing to accept such an order, and states that he will sue for damages if he is forced to leave.
Fire Routs 13 Uptown
Thirteen persons were forced to flee in their night clothes shortly before midnight when fire damaged the home of Aaron Baylor, 1316 Ogden street.
The first started in the basement of the building. Baylor was awakened by the crackling of the flames and aroused the other occupants. He and his wife fought the flames until firemen arrived.
A defective flue started the blaze, it is believed. The loss is estimated at $600.
Y.M.C.A. Seeks To Raise $4,500 For Expensea
A movement to raise $4,500 for the current expenses of the Young Men's Christian Association on West Rittenhouse street, Germantown, has been started and is receiving the active co-operation of the local Y. M. C. A.

Railroad, Not Porter, Liable
Railroad, Not Porter, Liable
Railroads are responsible for the errors of careless porters in stations, Judge Keller of Superior Court decided. The decision was made in the suit of Mrs. Jennie S. Booker of Wilmington against the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. A porter at Broad Street Station took her bag from Pullman ostensibly to put it in another. When she reached her seat the bag was missing. The company contended the porter was in her employ during the transfer and that it was not responsible. But she will receive $870, the value of the bag and clothing.
has been living for several weeks, one of his two small boys called to Pugh to "beat it." He fled over a back fence, but was caught after a chase of several squares by Patrolman Branch and taken to the city hall with his children. His wife having "deserted him last week, the boys were turned over to the police matron until disposition of them can be decided upon.
Tries To Kill Self 5 Times In City Hall
After he had been held on charges of forcible entry and larceny, Charles Johnson, 19 years old, of Bainbridge street, near Twelfth, made five attempts to commit suicide in City Hall. Before being taken to City Hall, Johnson had been held without Ball by Magistrate Grelis on the larceny charges. After he had been placed in a cell in the Central Station, Turnkay Walsh! heard dead body, and that he resisted, found that Johnson had hung himself from the iron-grated cell door, using his scarf for a noose. Walsh cut him down and he was quickly revived.
As he was being taken to Rogue's gallery to be photographed, Johnsized a bottle of ink and started to drink the contents, but swallowed only a little of it, spilling most of it over Sergeant Beppel, who had snatched the bottle from him. He arrived in the gallery, he attempted to leap out of a window, but was unable. Placed in the cell again he ran to one side and tried to bang his head against the wall, but was not injured except for slight wound wounds. He said he wanted to die because he was "disgusted with life." He is being guarded closely.
Woman Attacks School System
Woman Attacks School System
The use of intelligence tests for grouping students in the high schools of the city was criticised by the Tri-State Conference of Negro Women in a resolution which eliminated the tests were being used to segregate Negro pupils.
"Our investigation shows that a special class of fifteen Negro girls has been formed in the Philadelphia High School for Girls," said Mrs. M. Mossell Griffin, of Philadelphia, who called the conference.
The resolution asserts that "the intelligence tests have not yet proved to be satisfactory." It recommends the discontinuance of these methods. A committee is to be appointed by the Tri-State Conference further to investigate the tests and their effect and to report to the various clubs embraced in the conference.
Authorities of the Philadelphia High School for Girls denied and denounced the assertion made by the Tri-State Conference.
A teacher speaking for Miss Jenna Allen, principal of the school, now attending a convention in Chicago, branded the entire statement as false.
"This is all utterly untrue," she said. "We have no special class of fifteen girls grouped together. As for the intelligence test, we group all our students according to their averages in these tests. Any discussion of the intelligence tests should be taken up with the Superintendent of Schools.
"A number of Negro women called at the school, in reference to this matter, and we told them at that time there was no truth in it."
Sat. Eye. Social Center
An enjoyable evening was spent by the Felicia Club at the Social Service Center of Girl Scouts, Troup 114, Claver's auditorium. The Stratton Society Serenaders furnished the music.

EVE LYNN CHATS
As Lent approaches 'tis natural for folks everywhere to cram and cram all the social affairs into one week. And Philadelphia has surely lived up to the reputation, for there are many quiet and some few large affairs to be given in and about town. Before the Lenten spell over-mes the people and they grow reverently silent and attempt a spiritual "clean up" for the course of the next few沙 days, the Quaker City shall dive in for Five Hundred, dances, teas, a few musicales and then—silence.

Baltimore boasts of its pretty girls and Miss Lillian Thomas is certainly an argument in its favor.
She is one of the cast of "The Little Whopper," played at the Douglass Theatre last Friday.

ered into a dining room, where a most delectable repast was served. Then to the grill for a dance; it was indeed a beautiful sight. There were debutantes, young and older matrons, in fact, there were three generations, who enjoyed the party. And this fact added such a sweetness to the affair.
Mrs. Wm. Cowdery wore black charmeuse. Mrs. Thomas James was seen in Fuchia Canton Crepe, and Miss Cowdery, the lady of the hour, was adorned in silver cloth with a scarf of tangerine gloveette. An assistant that shall linger in the memories of folkks for many days. Miss Cowdery was ushered into society with poise and grace, and she shall take her place among a group of debutantes which is hard to boat.
Pre-Lenten Leap Year Dance by Dames and Damselfs Goes Off With a Punch
Happy have we met and happy have we parted. Such was the atmosphere of the affair given at O'Nell hall by a charming group of dames and damsels on Friday evening. February 29.
Just a select few planned the leap year affair, the ladies being the hostesses of the evening. From 9 until 2, the air rang with merry laughter and good will. And 'twas a Charleston party. Everyone glided around the hall to the tune of irresistible jazz music—here, there and everywhere, doing that fascinating, new and very snappy Charleston. At the midnight hour showers of confetti fell upon the fair couples. Whistles and colored ping pong balls were heard and seen in every nook and corner. Each one was adorned with a pretty, green cap and — on with the dance. The throng grew more and more jolly and the evening was over—far too son Fitz Brown sang to the strains of Girtle Monk's orchestra and even the musicians had to put in a step now and then. A delicious collation was served during the entire evening. Twas a party long to be remembered, and the girls looked so lovely, they all wore summer frocks. Can you picture Mrs. Percy Bentley in a pink apron frock and a summer hat trimmed in pink roses?
And Elizabeth Jones was clever in a red organdy and cretonne creation.
Mrs. Helen Benson always looks chique; she wore rose organdy and bands of net. And say, Mrs. Forrester Washington was so kiddish in red and white gingham and her long black plaits.
And who could be sweeter than Laura Baxter in yellow gingham, Diana Baxter in red organdy, Edith Taylor in white and Gladys Syers in yellow and white?
Agnes Upshar and Priscilla Jenkins wore such pretty orange frocks, "Dede" Hinkson wore cretonne and Maudelle Frower was in green linen. Ruth Deane looked charming in peach organdy and a very lovely hat. But I shall tell you more next time. Because, really, every girlie at the party was charming, but we shall pass down Fashion Row again and again, and you shall know them all sooner or later.

Newly Organized Publishing Co. To Open Building
Newly Organized Publishing Co. To Open Building
What seems to be a unique idea, comes in the form of a newly organized publishing concern under the name of the Plant Company. They will soon open their new building at 1617 Lombard street, in the heart of the business district of Philadelphia.
A brief interview with the president and manager, Mr. Chas. B. Plant, of Bryn Mawr, a young man representing and typifying the progressive and aggressive Negro of today, stated that the company's main interest would be directed in the production of 'The Afro-American Blue Book.' That already work had been started on this large undertaking, this work will be a complete registry of colored American families of the United States and territories and will be issued in volumes for states and territories. The first volume will be Philadelphia and vicinity. The company will make a careful research of every listed name in order to guarantee the work to the subscribers.
The plant will be equipped to handle all classes of printing. The building itself stands out as a mark of distinction for the colored people of the city in that it is stitched here. Another scheme. A special event, it is learned, is under way for the opening of the building.
OBSERVED BY WALLY PEELE
That money of which has been said, "is the root of all evil," nevertheless, is most essential to our very living. Therefore, it is important that we should consider from every available angle, the reasons, effects and possibilities. It is a very poor rule which doesn't work both ways. The above quotation, no doubt, has been heard for many thousands of years and has been handed down in modern translation to guide us. The effects time and the wearing qualities of the ages has effected the rule to the point where it could be changed with apologies to the author. 'Money is the root of all evil or happiness.'
To the colored people of America is slowly dawning the realization that money is -the one avenue up which all must wend their way. The door of success may be reached up this direct route, by no other way. So many of our conditions over which we cry so loud are due merely to the fact, that we are without, money. It is very true that in the United States one must be able to back up his efforts with money or be supported by capital, before any recognition will be given. The mad rush to accumulate capital is leaving our group out in the cold. No time is being lost in consideration of things which in no way represent capital. As a n group we must look to ourselves in the accumulation of money. Unable and able to back our demands by capital we can hardly hope to compete with those who not only represent capital, but hold our destinies in their hands, by controlling the very necessities of life. In this we are mere specks hardly noticeable in this big world of affairs.
It is quite polite to make apologies but they will not help and surely do no develop the qualities that are needed to accumulate capital. So many colored people are 'breat for going back and quoting Biblical phrases regarding the riches of Ethiopia and Egypt. To indulge in such hypocrisy will not elevate us as a people to any high place of men and women who accomplish great things. The amassment of capital is the art of arts to day. A race or group of people to receive a just recognition must first have developed this art. In the United States you are considered and measured by the standard of dollars and cents. All our fights for advancement as right of citizens are largely dependent upon 'what do we represent financially.' The answer comes back 'not so much.' Measured as a group we are still pretty low financially.
There are many reasons. First, one could say, 'we are still young, look what we have accomplished in such a short time.' All very well, but the minute you stop to think of what you have accomplished in such a short time you cease to develop. Don't think about it, but keep going and don't look back. Its dangerous and every one cannot stand dizzy heights, you know. Second, we have still to work out of our systems the effect of the
charming girls and snappy boys. And song and dance and play and everything and sh—but Joe Wood and Sterling Rex and someone else you know real well are going to put it over. Ju: watch for the date.
Aren't you glad, that you are living today? Why it is the hour of life and life abundant!

Less than an hour after he inflicted gunshot wounds which caused the death of Robert Duckrey, 38 years old, of 1714 Norwood street, Robert Randolph, also 38 years old, of 1723 Norwood street, was captured by police of the Twenty-third district, and landed in Moyamensing Prison on a charge of murder after a special hearing before Magistrate Roberts.
The shooting took place at the home of William C. Ford and is said to have resulted from an altercation the two men had earlier in the day over a woman, Randolph entered the home of Ford, where Duckery was visiting, and he claimed that Duckery drew a razor from his pocket and, thinking that he was about to be attacked, Randolph said he drew his revolver and fired three
training under the guidance of the slave drivers. 'To look to heaven and try to read the Bible.' Our forefathers succeeded pretty well. Man must now how to work the materialistic and the spiritualistic to be successful. Our forefathers had little chance at learning materialism and were too full of the spirit, to understand the game in its true light. It is necessary, therefore, to combine the two qualities in a happy medium. Another generation perhaps, will be quite different.
Third, the lack of education has eben a severe handicap. And for that reason alone, is it up to all parents to see that their offsprings are given the benefit of the schools and colleges. It is most essential in correcting the effects of narrow-mindedness and ignorance of our forcathers and ours.
Fourth, we must learn unity and co-operation. This must come from the relinquishing of old ideas and theories that we can learn alone. Never, we need together. Along an earth we need this old planet earth we will need one another in order to develop the possibilities of each individual power. Otherwise, we cannot grow.
Group strength must not only be considered in numbers, but in dollars and cents. This is a very important point. To be successful in this particular vein, the group must be represented in enterprises other than the church. Nearly nine-tenths of the wealth of the colored people is invested in churches. This does not give the group any material financial standing one way or the other. It may be termed stunted capital or that type of capital which does not grow. I know a great number of religious soils which deal with my statements. But my aim is to tell you the truth, whether it hurts or not. We must take our chances on going to heaven by helping ourselves, not by pauperizing ourselves.
We must capitalize our interest in industries and endeavor to give the public something it needs. To control more than one industry; to give wholesale employment to those who need it; preach thrift and set the example by being thrifty. This is one solution to the puzzle: 'Our rights as citizens.' The last war taught all people more concerning money than they had ever dreamed. The feeling of owning something or being a part of something, in many instances it something more vital, something more vital, the awakening of what has been termed the 'money consciousness.' We are all witnesses in the affect now, quite pronounced in the national capital. To have awakened, without the "pep" to hustle is the dangerous point, it is the breeder of criminals.
The step for ard, therefore, is a severe one and a hard one, the road is full of pitfalls and it is only the brave and courageous among us who will attempt the trip. We have never proved spineless or without courage when it came to fighting to safeguard the standards of the country.

New York Detective Sergeant Who Rose From Ranks, Carried to Final Resting Place by Buddies.
BY GEORGE ENDOM TAYLOR
NEW YORK, March 6—Never before in the history of the city has the white and colored population; with one accord, paid such a profound tribute to its hero-dead as on last Wednesday when thousands mounted the young colored detective sergeant. Regardless of creed or color men and women stood in snow and slush, facing a chilly wind for hours while the long silent lines passed. The occasion seemed as much as honorable triumph as one of funeral rites as muffled expression as one of the dense and solid walls of humanity that packed the streets through which the long parade slowly moved.
The line of march was composed of both white and colored officials. The guard of honor were police servicemen, and the police were police. Uniformed men were active pallbearers. The following white detectives under Captain Schoenol, acted as honorary pallbearers: Winterhatter, Mahoney, Connigh, Hulme, Malee, Peeble, Shallig, Nelson, Majewski, Scott, Butler, McFarland. Then came the line of colored reserves under Captain Richard White. Next were the lines of the Imperial Lodge. The young Duncan brothers, funeral directors, were highly complimented for the way they handled the crowd. The services were held in Grace Congregational Church and the inment made in Woodlawn cemeteries.

NEWARK, N. J., March 8. What is perhaps one of the most significant developments in the Negro church of today is the community idea in church service being developed by Booneville Temple in Newark under the leadership of Dr. S. J. Corrothers.
This idea has made the church become a receiving station for all the migrants from the South, has been made a place where all unemployed men, regardless of color, or creed, can find a free dinner every day, and has introduced the church as a constructive and educational institution, political and social movements in Northern New Jersey.
The fact that a large committee of fifty-seven prominent citizens, white and colored, has just completed plans for a wide drive in the interests of the temple, has brought the entire work of the church to the top of the agenda. The large white dallies in New York and Newark, the New York World having sent over a special reporter and photographer to describe the work in its widely circulated and extremely influential Sunday edition, has made the largest business man in Newark, heads the above committee. Several of the city officials are associated with him in this effort.
The temple, under the forceful leadership of Dr. Corrothers, and because of the ever widening influence, has bided fair to become a good church in every large city in the country.

Tucker and his wife, not knowing that Smith had been fatally wounded, returned to their sleep.
At the coroner's inquest into the death of Smith it was brought out in testimony that Mrs. Tucker had been a former sweetheart of the slain man, and that she had jilted him to marry Tucker. The flames of jealousy appeared to consume the disappointed lover, and he made several threats to kill both, unless Mrs. Tucker divorced her husband and marry him.
Turkens and his wife, who were kept in their room, were awakened by the crush of the door. The husband leaped from bed, and began a fierce crouching in the darkness of the early morning, yell: "What do you want here? Get 'ere come to get my sweetheart kill you" Smith replied, motioned on his hip pocket. Turkens reached to his dresser and used a razor. He slashed the inches several times across the

Warning is again issued to race folks who seem to have a careless disregard for the care of the eyes. Dr. Samuel H. Marcus, optometrist, 345 Fifth avenue, says: "If the eyes feel strained glasses should be worn to rest the nerves and to conserve the nerve energy for other parts of the body. A defective vision requires more nerve power through the eyes similarly as an engine consumes more fuel for the labor required. Men engaged in mills, factories, and shops seem somewhat indifferent to the value of the eyes and permit their vision to become very much impaired before the thought of protecting them takes hold. People in commercial institutions and schools are giving more attention to the eyes than ever before, while there should be something to arouse the public in general to the need of an examination before the sight becomes too badly impaired. The expense of examinations are now reduced to terms that if their expenses have been too high in other matters provisions have been made by a part payment plan. However, there is another feature and that is to avoid the use of cheap glass. We realize that the majority of our people neglect their eyes very often because they can not afford to get a proper eye examination and glasses and pay for it in one payment. But neglect of the eyes is not necessary when THE BLACKSTONE OPTICAL CO., with offices at 345 Fifth avenue, Room 402 Blackstone Building, having Dr. S. H. Marcus, a graduate Doctor of Optics in charge of all examinations and fitting of correct glasses is ready to serve you on their "Credit Paying Plan."

"after alt\the magnificent work done at the Washington
‘Gouference on Limitation of Armamerits, and after all’ the
rorid-wide import given to the results of that meeting of world
‘ugithdg on world subjects, we are confronted with the possibility
‘pt scbing all that work thrown to the ground aS'so much ob-
‘Jeetionable rubbish. :
‘e-”, Our ‘Congress is trying to enact some kind of immigration:
‘fiw. to prevent an undue flood into this country of persons who
pan never become Americans. The Japanese were shut out
“emphatically by the phraseology of a certain clause in the bill.
‘Bécretary Hughes objected to the clause; and gave as his rea-
‘gaa his fear that to adovt the clause might destroy the work
bf:the Disarmament Conference, at least so far as Japan is'con-
‘ered. The anti-Japanese journals of the country answered
’ Mr, Hughes ir. no uncertain language. ‘They want it understood
that the “clause” means ‘Japan just as much as language can
he made-to convey meaning.. Disarmament or no Disarmament,
"the colorphobias of this country want Japan shut out; and they
“employ language almost insulting to convey their feeling. |
1... Mr. Hughes is correct in his position, He Says the Jap-
“yieése-are concerned. He asks that they be treated under the
general provisions of the bill, and not singled: out for insult.
(Me, Hughes will be reniembered for his humanitarian position.
After all, the question is not one of race or color. It isa human
“question, and this country ‘cannot preach World Democracy one
‘year and inhumanity. the next. 4" :

chatred, with Japan as the object of its attack, it will be but a.
‘question of a few years when the whole sentiment will find its
‘way into other countries where darker peoples live. We will
“never convince the Philippines that we infend giving them in-
‘dependence as long as we practice such an attitude toward an-
‘other of the darker people. The American conscience has been

Se"! Our faith has been most abundantly justified by the Pull-
man: porters. Not only have they proved theix capacity. for
Service, but they have become a fixed part.of American life, just
as-steel workers and electricians are fixed parts of industrial
life. So the news that the Pullman porters will unionize and
demand shorter hours and more pay is welcome, Everybody
Amows they should get them. The public knows the porter has
been faithful and that he is entitled to.a‘generous reward for
‘his labor. The American Federation of La¥or will, in time,

4 ‘, Simplify the Return Blanks .
IPE HAVE just been notified that the United States Gov-
'W ernment has been collecting too much income tax from
= its citizens and corporations. Indeed, it appears that
‘the: dear government had to return to certain taxpayers. the
huge sum of one hundred and twenty-three milllion, ‘nie hun-
ved and ninety-two thousand and eight hundred and. twenty
dollars. Enough cash to start a city!
The ‘Treasury Department. in making kriown its action, in-
formed the country that the refund had to be made because the
Bersons and corporations enjoying the refund had been over-
taxed. The over-taxation wus caused'by “illegal or erroneously
Gollected taxes.” <
“And it is this illegal collecting and this erroneously col-
lecting that the taxpayer faces every time he mpkes out his
come tay retuin and mails it to the governmenf, It is very
evident, after perusing the list of corporations and persons re-
Saiving the refund, that the method of calculating incomes and
axes due the government on those incomes, is too intricate for

General, Rufus Saxon was the first
oficér to receive official . authority
fo enlist Negroes as soldiers. On
the 26th of August, 1862, the Secre-
fay of-War ordered him to proceed
to the Department of the South and
arganize 5,000 ‘troops of “African
descent,” which were to be desig-
nated -for service in garrisons not
in danger of attack by the enomy,
to relieve white regiments whose
fterms of enlistment had. expired.
‘Who was Carney of Wagner?
When. the: Sith Massachusetts
‘Regiment, under command of Col.
‘Shar, ‘stormed Fort Wagner: the
egimental colors were entrusted to
'W. H. Carney, a young sergeant. At
this gallant ‘regiment. ascended the
wall of the fort the ranks were-full,
but ‘as they. reached the top, thes
melted airay before the enemy's fire
almost instantly. Carney received a
severe, wound in the thigh, but fall-
ing apon his knees he quickly plant-
gathe fag upon the parapel, and
lay down on the outer slope for shel-
ter. Carney with 2 death grip on
the Aagstaff held it ‘erect for over
an hour, and despite that he was
later shot jn the head held on until
he was relieved by: another officer.
When he was being carried past a
brigade of-his comrades, on the way
to the field hospital, he parily raised
up and eried, “Boys, the old. flag
never touched the ground.”
What incident took place when the
first New Orleans colored regiment

der the command of Gen. Disight.
Before the’ regiment left the officers
ascembled at the quarters of Col:
Stafford, ‘where. the colored’ guard
marched up to receive the regiment-
al flags. Col. Stufford made a speech
full of atriotism ‘and feeling and
covicluded ‘by sexing: | “Colored
