MAYS SUES CHISUM FOR $10,000; AFTERMATH OF SCANDAL STORY MAN ARRESTED AFTER TERRIFIC STRUGGLE IS MURDER SUSPECT Wife Who Told of Long String of Killings Admits She Sought Revenge When Husband Proved Untrue. Of all sad words of tongue or pen, The saddest are these—it might have been. Clem Bruen, held in connection with the murder of three men, may not be familiar with the above lines from Whittier's comedy, but he would find the sentence of offence nothing less than a crime. He might be the woman who loved him. Goaded to desperation, she told the local police that a reward for $1,000 was offered for the arrest of her husband for crimes committed in Birmingham and Indianapolis. Lieutenant James Hoban and Patrolmen Rufus Pinkney and L. Neff arrested Bruen at his home at 1840 Rose street Monday after a terrific struggle in which shots were fired threatening the lives of the officers and the suspect. Decree Passed In Celebrated With tears streaming down her cheeks, Mrs. Bruen is alleged to have told a pitiful story of abuse and "trifling" since coming to Pittsburgh. "I was true to him," and would have kept his heart, but when he I couldn't stand it," she is reported to have confessed to local authorities. She admitted, police say, that she after "revenge." She offered aid in his capture. After committing a double murder in Birmingham in 1918, Mrs. Bruen says, and she and Bruen are said to Indianapolis worked in said to committed another murder. They then came to Pittsburgh, she said. Lieutenant Hoban's three day search for Bruen terminated when he saw him on the street Monday afternoon. When he attempted to seize him, Bruen dug and ran. Lieutenant Hoban summoned patrolmen an exiting chase, participated, followed. Bruen was arrested recently in a raid on a gambling house and was fined $5 and released. At that time the authorities did not know he was a man. The double murder - alleged to have been committed by him in Birchwood - had to have been the shooting to death of a woman, who resisted his attempt to hold up her. In the chase which followed he is alleged to have shot another man.

New Political Leader Hinted In High Circles ASSOCIATE WILLIAM H. LEWIS WASHINGTON, D. C., April 17. A new deal in the future may be expected in matters affecting the political interests of the colored people of the United States with the increased attention President Coolidge is giving to the high respect and confidence of the rank and file of the colored citizens of the country. An example of this type of leadership is Hon. William H. Lewis, former assistant attorney general of the United States, who is now general agent, or at least the standing influence at the White House in bringing about political changes affecting the race. Mr. Lewis is a visitor at the national capital recently and while in the city was in consultation by appointment at the White House with Secretary C. Bassom Slep, on Tuesday, April 1, and on Wednesday, April 2, with President Coolidge. Mr. Lewis, as a fellow-alumnus with President Coolidge of Amherst College, Amherst, Mass., and with a large acquaintance throughout the country with the alumni of Amherst College and Harvard University, and the high rank he holds at the Massachusetts chusets as an legal high, has a position of vantage hardly to be equalled by any other member of the race. He is a militant leader of the colored people, jealous of seeing that their best interests are always protected, and possesses in no part of his stalwart being any trace of self-seeking. Coolidge will with favor by President Coolidge and his advisors will be regarded all over the country as a sign for larger and more important recognition of colored people in the affairs of our government. Honorable Harlan Fiske Stone, former dean of the School of Law of Columbia University. He has who just be appointed Attorney General of the United States, a student at Amherst during Mr. Lewis' college days and played on the Amherst football team with Mr. Lewis as coach. The friendship of the two men has continued until this day.

Workers Given Unfair Deal By U. S. Labor Board; Not Unionized BY LELAND OLDS WASHINGTON, April 17. — The U. S. railroad labor board's decision sustaining the right of the St. Louis-San Francisco railroad to discriminate against certain train service employees simply because they are colored and unorganized is condemned by A. O. Wharton, labor's most active member of that board, in a dissenting opinion. He finds it in comprehensible that a tribunal created by congress to deal out justice to citizens irrespective of their race, creed or nationality should reach such a decision on the evidence presented. The evidence shows according to Wharton, "that the prior has arbitrarily disregarded the rights of these employees and reclassified their duties in changing their duties that if has reduced their rates of pay and established less favorable working conditions because they are colored men and for no other reason. It has sought to establish a separate and distinct class based solely on the fact that they are of the Negro race instead of the white race." Unorganized. The case involves 145 passenger brakemen whom the board describes as follows: "The employees involved in this dispute are colored men and on Feb. 1, 1821, the effective date of the wage reduction complained of they were unorganized. Up to the time of the hearing of this case they were still unorganized and their complaint is submitted by 100 (or more) unorganized employees in accordance with a provision of the transportation act. On account of their color these employees are ineligible to membership in the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen. Prior to the war the carrier took advantage of this fact to classify them as train porters, although they were required to perform the duties of passenger brakemen. In this way the management was able to evade the agreement with the trainmen and to pay these colored employees a lower wage. Government control changed this situation. The U. S. railroad administration defied the duties of pas- Before Senate In Oil Scandal Before Senate In Oil Scandal WASHINGTON, D. C., April 17 Daniel B. Smith, was the second rine witness called before the Sen- ate investigating committee this week in the oil scandal. Smith served as butler in the little green house on K street and had waited on Hurry F. St. Clair, Will Orr, ex-attorney General Daughery, Jesse Smith, George B. Christian, secretary to Mr. Harding and a number of other big politicians, who spent time in conference there. Twenty case shipments of liquor were received from Wells Fargo Express at the K street house, Smith said, around August, 12. A. U. S. revenue man was in the wagon. The liquor was in bottles labeled whiskey and gin and was not covered up or disguised, but delivered in broad daylight, he said. C. C. Spaulding's Life Insured For $200,000 DURHAM, N. C., April 17—The North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company has just insured its president, Mr. Charles Clinton Spauling, for $100,000 in favor of his company—making a total of more than $200,000 now carried on his life. Harry Wills plans to pick up a half million in easy money before going to the Elks' Convention with L. G. E. R. DYERSBURG, TENN. On April 20th we, the Christian congregates, congregate to pay homage to the Noble One, who appeared as the infant Jesus, the Savior of the world. He preached to the Jews and taught His apostles for three years, then His work is brought to a close. He spends 40 days fasting and praying, which is Lent, and spends a week in meditation known as passion week. On Palm Sunday He enters the Holy City of Jerusalem astride a donkey and receives the grandest ovation. On Good Friday, between midnight and 1 a.m. He, in company with Peter, James and John, goes to the Garden of Gethsemane, where He spent three hours in prayer to the Father, asking that the "Bitter Cup," death, be removed, but said, "Let Thy will be done, not Mine." As they were leaving they were surrounded by a body of Roman soldiers, led by Judas, the arch traitor, deceiver and money-lover, who for thirty pieces of silver betrayed the Innocent One into the hands of His enemies, who bound Him and took Him before the high priest took Him. He was the first to countenance. His trial and crucifixion quickly followed. His body was laid to rest in Joseph's new tomb with a great stone on it and Roman guards to prevent any of Christ's followers taking His body away. His body lay in the tomb three days, but on the third God sent His angel, who put the guards in a stupor and rolled the stone away and the Holy One of Israel arose from the dead, the conqueror of death. We celebrate this glorious day. He spent 40 days on earth after His resurrection from the grave and made Himself visible to the natural eye 14 times. senger brakemen and ordered that colored trainmen performing those duties should be so designated and paid the same rate of wages as white men in the same capacities. The road then classified these colored employees as passenger brakemen and maid them accordingly. In 1921 the labor board confirmed the conditions established by the railroad administration subject to change only by agreement between management and representatives chosen by a majority of any class of employees. It specified that such agreements should apply without discrimination to all the craft of class covered. Brakemen Called Porters. The St. Louis-San Francisco railroad, disregarded this order of the board and on Feb. 1, 1921, arbitrarily reclassified its colored brakesmen as train porters. It thereupon c' their pay to $120 a month based on 240 hours' work. The carrier admits that no change was made in their duties. Representatives of the employees affected made two efforts to get the carrier to conform to the conditions established by the authority of the board and then on July 6, 1921, submitted the case for the board's consideration. The fact that decision in such a case involving the major principles of race discrimination was delayed for more than two and a half years is itself a commentary upon this government tribunal. Evidence presented in the case showed that subsequent to the submission 112 colored trainmen were individually coerced into signing an agreement to accept the conditions established by the railroad in violation of its agreement with the trainmen. In spite of the fact that they later sent signed statements to the board repudiating this agreement under coerced the majority board members took this technicality as an excuse for refusing to right a clear cut wrong against their own decision, the transportation act and the constitution itself.

Seeking Death Drinks Poison CHICAGO, IL, April 17—Dependent over the fact that she was about to become a mother, and unwilling to bear the oudre, Mrs. Effie Flower, 18, of 708 East 98th street, attempted suicide at her heroe early Sunday morning. She drank a quantity of lysol in her unsuccessful attempt to escape motherhood. The girl was rushed to a hospital where restoratives were administered. Attendants declare she will recover. Mrs. Flower was married two years ago and appeared to her friends to be living in perfect happiness with her husband. When it became apparent that she was to become a mother, however, she began to brood and became more and more morose. Sunday she appeared to be extremely dependent, but other occupants of the house had no intimation that she contemplated suicide. Shortly before noon they were attracted by her agonized screens as the poison she had drunk burned at her vitals. She refused to discuss her attempted suicide with newspaper reporters. Howard Univ.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., April 17. —Mrs. Mitte Ward, mother of Major Joseph H. Ward, Chief Surgeon in the United States Veterans' Hospital, Number 91, Tuskegee, Alabama, departed this life Friday, April 4, 1924. She was visiting her oldest daughter, Mrs. Saran Moody, in Washington, D.C., and had a stroke of paralysis and lived only one week. She had planned to visit her other daughter in Denver, Colorado. Mrs. Ward was born in Green County, North Carolina, more than twenty years ago, and was either one son and daughter, all of whom she came to Indianapolis, Indiana, many years ago to live with her son. During these years of residence her devotion and affection regard won for her the title Mother Ward. She was affectionately greeted by her distinguished son's neighbors and friends everywhere. Mrs. Ward was the ideal type of mother and was equally devoted to all of her children. She lived to see her son elevated to the highest position offered to his profession and race in his government. Major and Mrs. Ward were at the bedside of the stricken mother, having gone there from Tuskegee. They accompanied the body home last Sunday afternoon. The funeral was held from the Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Rev. S. B. Butler officiating. Interment was at Crown Hill Cemetery. Surviving, are Major Joseph H. Ward, Mrs. Minerva Biggs, Denver, Colorado, Mrs. Sarah Moody, Washington, D. C., several grandchildren, and a host of intimate friends in many sections of the country. AKRON, O.

It is planned that, through an early start, the members of the club will arrive in Cleveland sufficiently early to enable them to meet the special train of the Republican State Committee and to act as escort for the official party to the State headquarters. They will also volunteer to hold the right-of-line in all demonstrations and parades of the Massachusetts visitors. The Coolidge Republican club of Massachusetts is not an organization of recent sporadic growth, conceived in the heyday of success of the President, with the obvious purpose of basking in the limelight and seeking selfish aggrandizement from the reflected glory of Mr. Coolidge's ascendancy. The club was organized in the dark hours of the President when he, then Governor of the Crommwealth, in September 1919, made his sturdy appeal for "Law and Order," as he stood with his back to the wall: resolutely facing the forces of rebellion and anarchy which were threatening to sweep the State. Inspired by the stand of Calvin Coolidge, a handful of colored men, headed by Dr. Benjamin E. Robinson, taking as their slogan his ringing phrase "Law and Order," brought into existence the first national college in the United States named in honor of the man who is now President. To this group of colored men must be accorded the credit of having rallied to him before his white compatriots had come to visionize the true measure of his greatness. Calvin Coolidge has not betrayed the trust which these men imposed in him. Within a few days after the first meeting incorporation papers were issued by the Secretary of State of Massachusetts granting authority for the use of the corporate name of "The Coolidge Republican Club of Massachusetts." (Incorporated.)" From a small beginning the club has prospered. Early in 1920 a four story steam, heated, brick building at 115 Dartmouth street, Boston, was purchased for a permanent house and improved to meet the needs of the organization, with assembly hall, smoking, bombing, card and billboard. The Coolidge Club today occupies the unique position of being the only purely political body in Massachusetts occupying headquarters standing in its own name. Believing the advancement of Calvi Coolidge and the Republican party to be of paramount importance, and that the attainment of these ends far surpassed the mere building of the colored voters into a body having; an entity, separate and distinct from a united Republican party, membership in the club was thrown open to every republican, regardless of color, creed or sex. The sole requisite for membership is allegiance to Republican principles. That this action was eminently wise is proven by: the enthusiastic MEN!

Realizing that the permanency of effort was the foundation principle of the club, and not temporary pre-election flurries of activity for purely selfish ends, the republican party leaders, without attempting to secure control of the organization, have been of the greatest assistance by wise and unselfish advice and cooperation. Today the club has a large percentage of white members who, in their best for an enactment, addition with an astonishing degree of confidence between the white and the colored members, has come a much wider recognition of the colored men in politics throughout the State of Massachusetts. The membership today is over 3000 with constant accessions to the membership list. Senator Harris In Campaign for Re-Nomination Keen interest is felt among Republican voters throughout this neighborhood in the candidacy of Senator John P. Harris, for re-nomination at the primaries on April 22, 1924. Senator Harris was elected to fill the unexpired term of the late Senator Norman Whitten in the forty-fifth Senatorial District. He was chosen by a tremendous majority, showing that he is unquestionably the choice of the rank and file of republican voters throughout the district. He now seeks nomination and election for the full term. Senator Harris is a resident of Crafton and a prominent business man whose interests are diverse. He is interested largely in the amusement business and has his headquarters in Pittsburgh. He is the type of man commonly spoken of as self made', and in the session of the Legislature of 1923, proved his fitness for the office by the application to the Senatorship of sound business methods. In the session, which began early in January and ended in June, Senator Harris misused but two days, and was not only present on all other days, but voted and spoke on pending legislation and took an active part in safeguarding the interests of his confidences of the forty-fifth district of whole commonwealth. The Senator's personal popularity using his fellow legislators, made an influential factor in all pend matters, and he was able to to his aid in purely local matters, many of the leading Senators from other districts. In this way, he immediately became an important factor and throughout the session wielded a beneficial influence. Senator Harris' record in the voting, shows a conscientious devotion to duty and art-unselfish abandonment of all personal matters. He went to Harrisburg to serve the people and devoted every minute of his time to that idealistic purpose.

Knight Templar and Shriner bands are being formed and organized every year, but the musicians from Harrisburg, Pa., Chicago, Cincinnati, Louisville, Ky.; Detroit, Indianapolis and Columbus, O., will attract especial attention. Harrisburg has a Knight Templar Band several years old, and can well be proud of the same. The Fraters who attended the conclave of the grand commandery at Altoona last August will recall the excellent work performed by this band. Chicago has a Knight Templar Band which always attracts attention on the street. We first noticed them at Cincinnati in 1920. When they leave the Windy City to render service, you are compelled to stop, look and listen. Chicago, the city of big things, is at present organizing a Shriner band, but we have not yet heard whether Arabic-Temple will bring it on the pilgrimage to the Oasis of Pittsburgh. Cincinnati has a Shriner band less than four years old, but you'll be surprised. The martial music rendered by this organization on the street, will cause the oldest as well THE NAME PORO MBOL OF QU me defines your character and that you are.

Treats In Visiting Hosts August Conclave as the youngest, among us to desire to march along with it. Truly Sinai Temple of Cincinnati is entitled to feel a high degree of righteous pride for much accomplished in a very short time. Louisville, Ky., has a Shriner Band. Let me say it again, a band: It is not more than three years of age, but when they appear on the street, and cut loose with that big band, you will think the organization is much older. It is one of the very best Shriner bands in the country. In Indianapolis last year, this band really played and marched its way into the hearts of all who beheld the wonderful Shriner display in that city. Watch out for it in Pittsburgh in August. Marraei Temple of Detroit, as to be expected, being one of the leading musical centers of the country, has a sweet Shriner band. With the great number of qualified musicians from which to draw Detroit is really ably represented either on the street or in concert work. Just wait and see as well as listen. Indianapolis will very likely be represented by the most excellent Shriner Band of Persian Temple. If you have never heard this band, then prepare for a musical treat. The boys of the middle western city are top notchers in every sense of the word. They leave nothing to be desired. That band is like a big pipe organ on the street or on the platform. This band is also one of the very best equipped musical units to be found anywhere, and reflects only the highest degree of credit upon Persian Temple and the nobility everywhere. This temple is one of the very foremost in every department, but her marching club, drill team and chanters receive their great inspiration from that excel- MARK QUALITY personality and is exceptional Hair and Hair and Beauty thousands. of this great busi- nality and ability. amazingly efficient. ents dispensed by LEASED a PORO AGENT, call.

Active in all branches of Masonry in the city. lent band of proven musicians. Keep an eye and an ear open for them this summer. Columbus, O., needless to say, has the cream of everything in Shrine-dom. Having had the champion drill team for years, she has also developed the Shriner Band championship. When the representatives of Ali Baba Temple step out on the street; no apologies of any nature need be made. The secret of the success of that temple is: Men from every walk of life whether menial, commercial or professional, always have this thought uppermost in their minds, "What can I do to advance the very best interests of Ali Baba Temple." With such a corps of workers, only the very best results for all bound to prevail. Watch for the band from this temple, you will not be disappointed by what you see and hear. Baltimore very likely will bring Thomas' Band of that city. This young man has a military band of the highest efficiency. Mr. Thomas is one of our younger musicians, and a former bandmaster of an U. S. army band. This civilian band is one of the very best of our race. If they come next August, you will behold a very fine group of qualified musicians. Philadelphia has a Templar band that will delight you with fine music when on the street. Truly the grand commandery of Pennsylvania can march proudly behind this capable organization. However, do not think old Pittsburgh is lost in the shuffle. True, we have not yet developed to the fullest our latent musical talent, but in one department we stand at the head. I refer to the pride of Sahara Temple, the Oriental Band. Through the unceasing efforts of Past Potentate J. R. Williams and his excellent co-workers has resulted the fruition of this unique band. With the various instruments of the Far and Near East, you will see and say something entirely different can that witnessed heretofore. On the whole, the musical outlook for the week of August 17 will mark each milestone progress among our group, and it will be cried by the memorial in memory of Masonic poets who left the city in 1923.

Manning, First Potentate OBITUARY Little Adolph Harris Velar, Jr. loved little son of Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas Velar, passed from this life in the morning of April 10 at the tender age of 3 years and six months.

EASTERN —SPORT— FLASHES By GEORGE M. BELL BY GEORGE M. BELL The Commonwealth Big Five engaged in a post season game of basketball at the New Renaissance Casketball Hall of Fame, for the benefit of the N.C. O's of the 360th Regiment, and the Mighty Lodge of Elks. The Antlers, an off-season No. 4, took the victorious score won 11-23, the Commonwealth winning. The preliminary game was played between the Elks junior team and a team of white horses, known as the original Celtics Juniors. The white horses took the victory, the seniorators, for they lost to the Elks by a large margin. Georgie Fial and Clarence (Fat) Jeenkins made the trip all the way from Harrisburg to take part in that game. George and Fat took things too seriously, and ended 15-12. In the second half the Elks lost their Antlers, and have been bemoaning this fact ever since. Since that game every time they one says Harold to George, he just grins.

Libby Gets Decision Over Vincent Lopez PHILADELPHIA, Apr. 17 — Jee Libby, welterweight champion of Pennsylvania, won his third straight victory at the Adelphia on Monday night when he was given the judges' decision over Vincent Lopez, Mexican middleweight, after 10 rounds of fast and furious boxing. The shifty Mexican was not match for Carl Barrott's star and took a scientific beating, although his courage and ability to stand the gaff won many friends for him. At the end of the session his face resembled a beefsteak, but he was still coming in for more. Young Stribling, the Georgia Peach, had a technical K.

Boast Strong Inner Works Lincoln Gts. Boast Strong Inner Works NEW YORK, April 17.—With the Eastern league preparing to swing into full stride this month, metropolitan baseball fans are eyeing closely the work of their two representative teams, the Lincoln Giants and the Brooklyn Royals. The Lincoln Giants, with new blood in the lineup, are expected to make a much better showing this year than last. At present it seems that Kenyon, last year's centerfielder, will supplant Pierce behind bat. Kenyon is dangerous behind him, but the baseball ability Burnett is thought, will do the bulk of the receiving, however. Starks' showing last week demonstrated the fact that the Giants have another diamond in the rough for mound work. The Giants are boasting one of the classic infield's in Negro baseball this season, with Williams, formerly with the A. B. C.'s, at short; Marcel and Scales holding down the fortress on either side of him, and Hudspeth at first. Marcel is one of the best third basemen in the game. Two new pitchers, Chambers and Donald, are expected to win their spurs during the season. Brooklyn also Strong. The Brooklyn Royal Giants also have good playing material. Williams, the veteran pitcher, shows no signs of developing, show no horse, or developing the only man to put him down for the count. Together with the Lincoln Giants, the Royals present two formidable clubs. Cuban Giants Invade League To Get Players NEW YORK, April 10. — The Brooklyn Cuban Giants' new team under the management of J. B. Johnson, have signed up the leading baseball stars and are booked to play, the leading colored and white teams in the East and Canada. The following players are lined up: William J.

The locals were baffled by the high-class twirling of "Bullet" Rogan, Mendez and Morris.

A capacity crowd witnessed the game. A.B.C.'s Break Evenin Games, "Dizzy" Wins MUNCIE, Ind., April 17—Indianapolis of the Negro National League and Muskegon of the Michigan-Ontario League broke even in two games here Saturday and Sunday. Saturday's game resolved itself into a pitcher's battle between Dismukes for Indianapolis and Albertson for Muskegon. Indianapolis won by bunching a double, three singles and a sacrifice hit in the fifth inning, scoring two runs which proved enough to win the game. Only thirteen batters faced Albertson in the first four innings, Davis' double in the first inning being the only thing resembling a hit. Indianapolis bunched three singles in the ninth for the last run. Muskegon scored their lone run in the eighth inning on a three-base hit by Meyers and Clancy's double. Ward featured with a great running catch in right field and was given an ovation when he came in from his position. Stamps was chosen by Indianapolis as their hope for a second victory. He makes a specialty of delivering from the left hand side. Something was misused with the special delivery Sunday and he was yanked in the third inning after Muskegon had got to him for a double, single, base on balls, an error by himself and a home run, good for four runs. A. Evans, who relieved him, held the minor league safe until the seventh inning, a beast of two twos, a hit batsman and a double produced three runs and the game. The final score was 9-5. Indianapolis plays Dayton C. M. I. A's at Dayton Saturday and Sunday. Lincoln Giants Play Double-Header Sunday NEW YORK, April 17—Next Sunday at Protectory Oval, the Lincoln Giants will again engage in a double header, meeting the great Wilmington nine of Wilmington, Del., at 2 o'clock, and playing the Hazelton, Pa., team champions of the mining district of Pennsylvania in the second game.

The Giants are training daily on their home grounds and the outfit gives every promise of being much stronger than last season. highly probable that practically all of them will get a chance to play before the game is over. The lure for the opening game will see Graham, the eastern flash, in right field at Washington on Laudie Walker, at this Gray in centerfield; Beckwith behind the bat with Young ready to relieve Cannady on first; Moody or "Rags" Roberts in leftfield; M. Harris at second base; "Scrappy" Brown at shortstop, and with "Win" Harris, Bud Brown and Moore in the role of utility men. Williams, Smith or Owens will do the twirling. All three of the men have been showing up well in the practice games staged between the Grays and the Pittsburgh Giants this week at Washington Park, and it is hardly probable that the final selection will be made before gametime. Geo. Shively ToPlayWith Ben Taylor WASHINGTON, D. C., April 17—George Shively, one of the greatest outfielders Negro baseball has ever known, is reported to have signed up with Ben Taylor's Washington Potomac. Shively was formerly a member of the A. B. C.s of Indianapolis. Manager Taylor had been dickering to get Jones, the clubbing outfielder of the Birmingham club, but failing in this, was able to bring Shively to term. Shively is known in sport as the fleetest outfielder in the west, and was a member of the famous outfield of Shively, Jimmy Lyons and Oscar Charleston, playing for the late C. I. in 1916. This outfield was said to be the greatest in the country. Phila. Giants Readyto Open PHILADELPHIA, Pa.

Gans piled up a comfortable lead, which Palmer battled desperately to overcome in the last two rounds. Gans was the aggressor in every round and fought a winning battle throughout.

BOSTON, Mass., April 17—Smarting under the tensions and jibes of newspapermen, Harry Greb has announced his willingness to meet Kid Norfolk, and the match is scheduled to take place here Saturday evening. Many fans believe that Norfolk's chances of a victory are rather remote, while others, remembering the battle in Pittsburgh two years ago, are inclined to believe that the Pittsburgh "jumping jack" is risking his title, in meeting the hard-hitting, clever, experienced "Keed." On that occasion, Greb was floored for a count of nine by Norfolk. The fight is arousing a deal of local interest, and a capacity house will be out togress the battle. Greb is bound to succeed for Norfolk several weeks ago, but cancelled the bout because, it was stated in the telegram, he had met with an accident, while motoring. The fuss raised following this announcement, caused Greb and his manager, "Red" Mason to reconsider, with the result that the bout is again "on". Indianapolis Stars INDIANAPOLIS. Ind., April 17. The Indianapolis Stars, leaders in the Indiana Semi-pro league, are out to eclipse their record of 1923, when they lost two games, according to Manager Dickerson. This club has been the cradle for many of the present big league stars; such players as Branahan, Barnes and Newsome receiving their start here. The club will tour Ohio the latter part of April, opening the season at Columbus.

The Middletown Dauphin Giants have organized their team for the season. A Dixon will be the manager and will be a bench boss. Play stars on the 26th. We understand that Colonel Strothers will farm out some of his excess men to the Dauphins. Dixon's boys will play three home games a week on the Middletown Fair Grounds. Among those already signed for the year are said to be George Briscoe, Chief Shaw, Jordan, Murray and McCurdy, pitchers; Noon, catcher; P. Dixon and Brown of Beaver Falls, second baseman; Price, short; Slaughter and Thompson, third; Barber, Clark, Mears and Duncan, outfielders. Unser John Johnson, sometimes referred to as Artha of the Golden Smile, has been signed to fight Jack Renault, Canadian heavyweight, at the Mount Royal race track, Montreal, on May 21. Renault's chief claim to fame is his knockout of Gorger George Gorell. Our friends down in Greensboro, N. C., are playing baseball now. We have a note from Prof. Nelson of the Washington Street High School, telling us of their thrilling games in the town made famous by the House of Vick. Manager Wharton's St. Jame's Cyclops also have a nifty diamond outfit and make the scholastics step some whenever they meet. Many future_stars for the big leagues are getting their rulimentary athletics down Greensboro way. Washington High has in Reid one of the best pitching prospects in the south, competent observers say. The Adelphia Arena, Philly, will probably conclude its season with the show of May 5. In the face of many discouragements Lecky Packer and Jack Hannon stuck to their guns and Fortune has been smiling on them for several weeks. They deserve it and we are for them. This is the biggest club in Pennsylvania and they gave our boys a chance at the money. "The fight's the thing," says Packer. "Color means nothing; we try to give our patrons the best talent obtainable. If a boy can fight we are willing to give him an opportunity to prove it and if he makes good we will let him have another whirl at the card. We have tried to bring Gibbons, Renault, Fulton and other fighters here to box Godfrey, but they would not hear of it. Jimmy Dougherty offered Gibbons $10,000 to meet George, but he turned it down cold. "We wanted Mickey Walker for Joe Libby, but could we get him? Jack is our matchmaker, of course, and he has worn off what little hair he had left trying to scratch plans into his head for big bouts for these top notch colored ringers. It is a little early to say anything now, but this tip—watch our stuff next fall." John Henry, son of Lloyd, greets us in the mail this morning. He is at the Shore trying to get field and team in shape for the race. Practice has started and all men are on hand save a few who are in college. Henderson, Lockhart and Harper will be the pitching standbys, while Gatewood and Jones will do the catching, Chaney White, Ramirez and Corporal Charley Mason will patrol the outer pastures. "Hot Dogs" Cummings, Richard the Lundy, Lloyd and Reid are the guardians of the inner gates. We timidly venture that this will not be the worst team in the league. The Eastern League met in Philadelphia on Saturday. Everybody reported progress; everyone is ready for the bell. Perhaps the most pleased manager at the season's prospects is Ben Taylor- Ben says he has a bunch of future greats who are going to show the older boys how to fight. "We may not win the pennant this year," says the ex-Hoosier, "but the team which does will have to lick us frequently. I am very well satisfied with my squad and know that each man on it is a hustler and a fighter. With Stringbeans Williams, Eggleston, Shively and myself as a nucleus we are going to have a bunch of men who will never be licked till the last man is out." Robert Levy, Havana dispatches state, has decided to let the Simple Senegalese, which is classic for Battling Siki, manage himself for awhile and has quit the island in disgust. He thinks that when Siki has spent his final peso he will sober up and be ready to reason. Which thought, say we, is among "those things" which ought to be narrated to Mrs. Sweeney's husband. Mrs. Bessie Prenty, whose flyer in the boxer game was no fraught with disaster for herself and for numerous boxers, was before the State Athletie Commission last week to show cause why her license should not be revoked. After the solons considered the matter they decided to await an opinion from the Attorney General's office before acting. State Boxing Commissioner Bugge of New Jersey stated last week that he would sanction the proposed heavyweight championship bout between Jack Dempsey and Harry Wills, challenger, in the Skeeter state. Bugge refused to draw the color line and said that Wills was entitled to the same considerations as any other law-abiding citizen. Danny McClellan is authority for the info that he has signed Paul Stevens, the classy utility infielder of the Hildale team. All Steve needs is a chance to play regularly and to get his confidence strengthened and he will be one of the niftiest shortfielders in the country. At this writing the Column does not know the details of the transfer. Allentown Joe Gans, the pride of his home town, won a ten-round battle from Andy Kid Palmer, of Philly, last week. It was a hard struggle, boys, from bell to bell. Joey scored the only knockdown of the fight when he sent Palmer to the mat in the second with a straight right to the jaw. He was up without a count. Gans piled up a comfortable lead which Andy tried hard to overcome in the last two rounds. Gans was the aggressor throughout. Bizz Mackey, prince of good fellows, who is slated to play short for Hilldale this year, is suffering from an injury to his knee. This is an old throne of the Big Fellow's and was aggravated by indoor work at the Y. George Carr, Mackey's buddy from the Coast, blew into town Saturday, looking fit for a hard season. Talk of a sport writers' association in the East is late rather than premature. The wonder to us is that it was not organized years since. The sooner the step is taken the sooner various so-called magnates will realize that sporting pages are not free advertising media for their unlimited use. But more anon. We like Bennie Butler's spiel on the subject and we should "admire" to hear, personally or through their columns, what such men as Romee Dougherty, Bill White, Diall, Howe, Watson, Magill and others think. ```markdown ``` Athletic "Bowl" Planned At Tuskegee Institute Athletic "Bowl" Planned At Tuskegee Institute TUSKEGEE, Ala., April 17—(By A. N. P.)—The general alumni association of Tuskegee has assumed the responsibility of raising $20,000 for the erection of an athletic "bowl" by October of this year. Every graduate and former student is being asked to give at least $10 and more if possible. Tuskegee's football team tied with Atlanta and Morehouse for the southern championship this year, and alumni of the Washington school are certain that a modern athletic field is all that is needed to place and keep the Tiger warriors on top. Local alumni have pledged $1,000. You will like my tailoring and materials, you will like my price. I want to set a pace in this new store that will be impossible for any other tailor to follow.

They came from France, Sweden, Germany, Cuba, Costa Rica, East India. It was hated in most qooest India, and few leaves. Argentine tango, meriengue, "shimmy|shawable," the "passion glide"—it was the most cosmopolitan cafe in the district. On "G" street, a block away, shrouded in perpetual semi-darkness, floured the less well-to-do places. Here the Bush Negroes of Paramaribo and the "Big Tree" men of Jamaica predominated. Here the standard on which a man's prowess was judged was on a higher plane. Here one-armed men and Chinese lottery ticket vendors and Japanese dandy-makers, grew. Work other than the knuckle-dusting kind was unknown. Only the men who stabbed without spilling blood, shot without being heard, danced on a "dime" these, only, survived.

GUY ALCOTT was one of the most prosperous colored medical men in Allen County; and the richest one in the city of Lima. He was known as the honest doctor, which appellation in itself accounted for his large practice and wonderful success. In keeping with his expensively, furnished imposing pressed brick mansion he had extra cars, house servants and all the other things that go between. When he loved it was as sincere as his hatred for relentless, and he never did either without good grounds for doing so. The man who would try to cheat his neighbor had about a much chance of winning the favor of Dr. Guy Alcott as the man who also voted the Republican ticket solely because Abe Lincoln freed him. He was no politician, but he comprehended a few political maximus. When Louise, died, the deep-rootedness of his love for her almost resulted in his losing his reason, but he found that there was at least one more woman in the world who had a real heart. It would be exactly three years at 25 minutes past seven on the evening of March 24, since Louise had passed away, which also would be the anniversary of Guy's and her marriage, and singular enough the birthday of both himself, and Jean, his present wife. His marriage to Louise was a happy one and after it followed a happy year of supreme bliss—just one year of it. Then came the flu and all was away in a trice. Lillian Aldermar, had come at their invitation for dinner; just a sort of informal affair, and among the things she told them while at the table was the shocking information of the depth of Caroline Evans, the speedy result of an attack of that terrible disease. Impulsively Louise and Guy looked at each other. Guy's face went ghastly pale as he noticed a worst peculiar expression upon the face of his wife. It was one such as he had never seen on. He was before in all his life. A chill ran down the length of his spine, and he dropped his gaze to the hardwood floor. But that high-pitched surface seemed to magnify and reflect rather than that look of his wife which almost spoke out from her eyes these words: "I'm going to leave you, Guy." "Just think of it, Guy, only four days," said Louise, unable to back the tears. "Well and hearty on Monday and a sorrow on Satur- day. Louise attributed her husband's Pittsburgh THE Courier AMERICA'S BEST WEEKLY It was a humming hell. In the day if you passed by it you would have seen a set of bars, and shops with high windows—the shutters of which were always carefully down. The sidewalk was always scrupu- clean. One or two stuay chairs and a can around around the front, left in lastе most likely by madame as she shuffled at sunrise into Fat Hing's to get herself a steaming omelette. Down in the bowels of lower Cash street, however, stalked the living cancer. Chinamen with lepros ulcers on their 'skins; sloppy streets; dirt, vice, fifth, disease; lie, fice, chiggers. It was a hell on earth. And over this shimmering volano of gluttony and licentiousness (to make matters worse), hovered the mystic spell of Black Art. In the little shops and eating, places and syrup-boiling holes, one saw bottles and flasks and demijohns of rum and falernum and amisse. High up to the ceiling, the casks were piled. Jars of tamarind, fruits, vegetables and meats made up the rest of the picture. How in the name of Providence they managed to sleep! But it did not matter. They didn't care anything about sleep. On Cash street nobody slept. High noon saw Spanish girls, with their does barely stuck in rose-colored slippers, sipping liquor in the salons or whining away the hours at the Red Raven. The folk on Lower Cash street got their morals from those higher up—from those who visited the Red Raven! On these pay-days the "Gatun Lambst" over-ran the district. McClinty Marshall at that time, was in his 'heydey at the construction works at Gatun. Thousands of Negroes from the isles of the Caribbean worked as laborers on it. They were unused to high wages, and the lapsful of gold they drew at the end of each month disturbed their otherwise reliable mental equilibrium. An Unusual Love Story He Loved. His Second Wife as Also His First Wife. Where Did His failure to reply to inward sadness and emotion, which was correct, but something other than Caroline's death superinduced his apparent speechlessness. That men of approaching eyel that appeared on the face of Louise had paralyzed his tongue. Neither she nor Guy referred to the matter any more than was really necessary or consistent with ordinary interest, though Caroline was one of their closest friends. The shock had stupefied them both to such a degree that they retired to their bed that night in silence, fearing that the discussion of any subject whatever might dove-tail into a discussion of Caroline. Louise slept all night, peacefully and unfitfully, but Guy had a miserable night, lying awake the better part of the time listening to her breathing, which was both smooth and rhythmic and showed no signs of abnormality. Occasionally he would gently stroke her beautiful black hair then close his eyes. But go to sleep he could not. He found this out early in the night and stopped trying. Every time he closed his eyes he saw that prophetic look that she gave him in the dining room that evening and the thing got on his nerves badly.: He kissed her awake the next morning and though she appeared as refreshed as a dew-kissed morning glory he seldom could get rid of that awful prodding of evil. He dressed evenly, waited and had breakfast with her, lingered and made himself late for the office by attempting to return them all. Just five days after this he was anxiously asking the doctor whether he thought there was any hope for her, and at 7:25, on the evening of the 24th day of March, she stopped in the midst of one of her spasms of coughing and turned her eyes on her husband with this appeal: "Oh, Guy, can't you cough for me? You could cough this loose for me, couldn't you?" Suddenly she raised her head. "Oh, cough-cough—cough quick!" Then as she turned her face away from him slowly she saw for the second time strange expression upon her face. Not one of pain or terror anxiety; simply resignation and a farewell. Eighteen months later he married Jean. Like Louise she was beautiful with a most lovable and sympathetic disposition. She and Louise would have easily passed for twin sisters; the pretty round face, the —only these artists of the road could populate "G" street. (Continued next week.) Ai He L His I HAS SMALLEST BIBLE IN U. S. 520-Page Volume Is Half the Size of Two-Cent Stamp LEXINGTON, Ky., April 17.—M. H. Livingston, residing in Boyle County, 35 miles south of here, is the owner of what he considers the smallest Bible in America. This miniature copy of the Scriptures comprises the New Testament, is about the size of two cent passages stamp and may be read only by the aid of a powerful microscope. It has 520 pages, printed in two columns like the ordinary Bible. The letters are so small they can hardly be distinguished as separate entities with the naked eye. This unique volume was printed in 1895 in Glasgow, Scotland, and presented to Mr. Livingston by a kinsman. GARDEN PEA IN HER BRAIN X-ray Reveals It, and Woman Survives Major Operation SAN FERNANDO, Cal, April 17. — A minor affliction that required a major operation is reported from Mission Ares, near here. With alarming suddenness Mrs. Laura E. Elston complained of excruciating pains in the head. These pains, constant and growing hourly worse, were so alarming that medical aid was called at once. An examination by means of the X-ray gave evidence of the presence of some eign substance. In the brain, the operation was undertaken at result in the removal of an ordinary garden pea. Just as soon as the pea was removed the pain vanished and the patient is rapidly recovering. How the pea come to be in the patent's brain is a mystery that none can explain. COAL GATE, Okla., April 17.—John Huckaby, 14, while hunting chased a rabbit into a hollow tree. His dog digging at the bark of the tree uncovered an old skunk hide wrapped around $10,000 in currency. The money is believed to have been buried half a century ago, as the printing on the bills is dim. The money was sent to the Currency Department at Washington for redemption. soft, clear, brown eyes, the faultless peery teeth, the triad of dimples—all was there that characterized the beauty of Louise, except Jean was a shade or two darker. This small margin of an execution gave Jean a shade of advantage in beauty. It was the unusual similarity of her appearance that served to heal the wound in r.D Guy Alcott's heart to a large extent, yet there was one item that contributed to or rather was responsible for a large part of his sadness that he kept from the knowledge of Jean. He had just one photograph of Louise. This was taken while they were on their honeymoon in the West, and the likeness was so perfect that they had decided to have it enlarged. But now since he had married again he concluded not to do this for fear that it might possibly prove a stumbling block or rock of defense in his present domestic affairs, so he let the little oval gilded frame hanging in its not-to-conspicuous corner in the sitting room. But he never passed through that room without turning sad and adoring eyes upon it. And when Jean was not present he would go to it and lift it from its support in the wall, look long and lovingly at it, burst into tears and kiss it and then he would replace it on the wall again with 'as much tenderness as if it were alive.' One morning he awoke and found himself over half an hour late for the office, without taking into consideration the time consumed in dressing and eating breakfast. He made a whirlwind toilet and was down stairs in record-breaking time. His breakfast he could eat downtown, so he would eliminate that from his morning duties at home. His hat and coat hung over the back of a big leather chair in the sitting room and for these he made a rush. This was a fatal move for him for two reasons. First, because Louise's photo hung on the wall directly above the chair, and as soon as his eyes fell on it the office was doomed to a longer wait of five minutes. Secondly, Jean awoke, slipped on a kimono and came down to give him the kiss that he was in the habit of getting before he, but he was not aware of her presence until he had replaced the picture and turned to leave, then he beheld with wide eyes his wife standing in the archway in a pink kimono and flanked on both sides by the silver and gold portiers. Neither of them spoke, but Jean advanced, put her arms around his neck and pulled his head down until his lips touched hers. A tear drop- The KISS By EVE LYNN CRAWFORD Once upon a time many thousand years ago two lovers met in a Greek garden under the first rays of moonlight. They were a glorious night and philandophees and Kissanthiones meandered hand in hand, just happy in the presence of each other, just in cataclysis to breathe the same aroma of an delectable breezes of night, that mystic time when lovers seek the love, had greatly the strands of philandophees hair low, against the cheek of Kissanthiones and haunted his being until at last he spoke. Ah! my love, now beautiful is the moonlight touch, more lovely than you my precious. And she listened and held the words close to her heart. Kissanthiones was her lover—the man of her dreams. And always wore they happy in the Greek treasure was swabbing my mysteries and wonderful after this garden greater and sweeter understanding. Well, even lovers of yesterday had their quarrel. For philandophis was beaten and told to look upon. Her father had a creew of Spanish mariners, who sailed off to the Orient very often, and brought back a load of spices, silks, laces and jewels. One of the mariners had looked upon philandophis with a great admiration for many a day. So, he brought her an unset jewel, cut exquisitely and of a color of blue and silver, as beautiful as a bit of the sky. Teasingly, philandophis showed in the joy of Kissanthiones and instantly in the spirit of play he tried to take the jewel from her. And she was little vixen, placed the jewel in her mouth to hide it from the determinate Kissanthiones. But alas he discovered it. When she smiled and her cape wore that blue gem, Kissanthiones was a Greek gentleman—member—and he could not attempt to take the jewel from her mouth with his fingers—so her lover placed his lips upon the lips of philandophis in tender contemplate and soon the unset jewel fell to the ground—forgotten. And their lips clung in harmony in perfect unison. And so they began to live—and because of this first kiss—it was married from the great philandophis. And this happened many, many years ago. But a Kissanthiones and a philandophite meet every night in wondrous garden and discover that a kiss in the test of a tender lion which life forever. So the kiss of yesterday, the kiss of today and the kiss of tomorrow are just the same. Customs, habits, ideas and ideals may change, but kisses of today and tomorrow shall just be kisses. Competition In Africa Between Black and White Labor Keen, Says Tourist Robert Williams, a co-worker in Africa, almost forty years ago, with Cecil Rhodes, and directly in touch ever since with events and developments there, read an interesting paper recently before the Royal Colonial Institute in London, describing his observations and experiences in an extensive continental tour last year. Mr. Williams said: "Since 1911, when I last went through Africa, the black man has been rapidly rising above his former status of a mere laborer, but he may have a long furrow to plough before he arrives at the stage of self-government. The Sudan is now full of promise and destined to play an" important role in the future of Africa and the whole world. "The desert begins to give place to rich vegetation, and enormous tracts of fertile land are adapted to cotton, sugar, tobacco and other crops, while tens of thousands of square miles in the highlands are fit for cattle ranching. More than 300,000 acres are now under cotton cultivation and irrigation will bring in some further 3,000,000 acres, a ped from his eye on to her cheek and she shuddered. She had never seen him cry before. In fact she did not see him crying this time. She only saw a tear. This might equally be a much evidence of laughing as crying. But in this case it would be hard to believe that a person would laugh himself to tears looking at the photo of a dead loved one. "Jean dear, did you—ah—er send my laundry out yesterday?" he avoided in answer to her questioning look. His attempt at avoiding an explanation for his action, though successful, was a poor one in that it was both irrelevant and disconnected and besides, the look in her eyes told that she understood. So he kissed her again and fled from the house. "Jean, dear, did you—ah—er send my laundry out yesterday?" he avoided in answer to her questioning look.

Since that time some members of the lodge have attempted to pull some tea pot dome investigation this Lynch Law stuff is not known at this writing, but here is one thing planly evident and that is that this investigation was properly timed. It is the purpose of the investigators to bring something out of the lodge administration. Whether or not that is possible is yet to be seen but it is certain that if the feeling that if the election was two or three weeks off instead of seven Peterson would win over any of his erstwhile friends, it is generally believed that he will be stronger at the time of the election than he is now. The candidacy of D. Leroy Baxter is gaining some favor and is but for the fact that Geo. Lawer and in the race it would be Baxter lawyer Win. B. Brandon is very popular with the young progressive element in the lodge. This election promises to be very inter- THE MESSENGER casting. Rumor has it that Douglas Mitchell, Recording Secretary of the lodge is thinking of realigning his office. Mr. Mitchell was put through a severe grilling and report to the Moorish committee and to Moorish Financial secretary, has served notice that he will welcome any investigation they wish to make but it seems that the leaders of the Peterson administration are opposed to whether the committee considers through the business of the lodge.

Roosevelt Temple Closing session of the L. Corrothers' labor of Sylvester L. Corrothers, pastor of the Roosevelt Temple, will take place Sunday April 20th. There's no other city in the United States where a Zion minister can point to a record equal to that established six years ago, Roosevelt Temple, located in the heart of the city of Newark, has become largely the center of the religious, political and civic movement among the colored citizens for the city, county and North Carolina, a source of pride and inspiration of the colored population of the entire state of New Jersey. One of the most remarkable things in connection with the Temple movement is the fact that Dr. Corrothers has held a conference co-operated with the city officials of the leading parties from the start. The membership has went from a few to a large and representative audience of more than seven hundred (700). The various community deadlines did working order, and every week something of national interest to the State and country is originated at the Temple.

Conference At Louisville, Ky. (By Rheby) Ex African Methodist Episcopal Church has never elected a bishop, what is termed in politics, a black hostel, not inconspicuous in decisionally; and it is likely within the probabilities that it goes after a hundred years, with such a critical age as at present. I have previously said, "there are some aspirations for episcopal mission into unsewned into the essential life of the church, and not like the highest; peaks of a range. Such characters from the very nature of things foster and formidable the stresses of the church's competitors. Such men, A. G. Guines, of Baltimore, A. G. Geog, president of Worcester University; R. C. Ranier, of the A. M. E. Review; W. Therston, of New York; S. Green, president of Shorttown; W. H. Mixon, of Akron; and J. A. Lindsey, of The first mentioned above was the choice of the men who will attend at the next General Conference. Their ability and experience as pastors, with their long and extensive association, will be undoubtedly their church and undoubtedly their superior to any other minister. But not matters not who are elected to new bishops must go to school from which fields Bishops and Black have just returned. From what we have learned, Bristol Group is willing to assume the episcopal role made an extensive visi- tion of some years ago, he is in an enviro- to go. No ex- gence is we know of. Has been given by Dr. Gaines or Ran- concerning episcopal supervival in Africa if elected. But it is in presence of a minister of what is a nish- tinct order of them would give the order in that account. . . After all, however, it is dangerous the life of any man to allow him to have himself obsessed with the body of another. In the A. M. K. church. Some have died from such obsession that but all their vitality to be retained after putting it died with having a conference. Of all the bishop bug or mans the web.

Dr. Sims, of Texas, who would like to succeed Prof. John R. Hawkins as secretary of finance—this office from the time of its establishment, p. to 1912, had been held by a minister used, it is said, ostensibly as the last and sure step to the bishopric. This condition of affairs had become so notorious that 'the / church, through its representatives at Kansas City in 1912 declared itself unlawful' to approach the practice and elected a person of Prof. Hawkins, who has held the office ever since and bids fare to continue for another quadrennium. The Rev. Dr. Sims by his published statements proposes to do some big things in saving thousands of dollars of interest money to the credit of the superanuated preachers, whom the Lord knows need it. But on the face of those statements, it is not known how much about the banking business or he does know, and is making his campaign on the ignorance of the delegates. Mighty hard travelling for the doctor! The office of secretary of missions is to be filled by somebody, as the Rev. Dr. Rankin, who has been ill during the entire quadrennium is now available. There are five candidates for that office: Rev. Doctors R. R. Downs, N. W. Williams, of Louisville; C. W. Abington, of Texas; W. M. Mickens, of Huntington, W. V. and J. A. Hadley, of Georgia. Rev. Dr. Downs is on the inside, having been selected two years ago as editor of the Voice of Missions, the official organ of that department and mission. Downs has proven to be a brilliant debiter, and will be pretty hard to heat. Rev. Mr. Abbington is making a strenuous campaign, having taken a trip to Africa to give prestige to his candidacy. And, by the way, that reminds me of the late Bishop Smith, who took a trip to Africa, went some five miles in the interior, came to the airport, and "glimpses of Africa." What, says one, "can a man get out of Africa by way of experience in visiting Monrovia, Sierralone, Johannesburg or Cape Town?" Well, I'll bite. "He can get just as much by experience of the oil and gas fields and coal mines of Western Pennsylvania if he visited Pittsburgh and Bradford, where you are. And, we have quoted from one who knows. Rev. Mr. Mickens is by no means standing still until the voters come to him. He has made a whirlwind trip, visiting the southern conferences. From this distance it looks good for Mr. Downs. Here, he has the vacancy to be filled and that is the Department of Church Extension. The Rev. Dr. B. F. Watson, the former incumbent, now deceased. (To be Continued) OBITUARY Mr. William Reed of the North Side, Pittsburgh, Pa. died Tuesday morning, March 25, 1924. He was a member of the abunclemary Baptist Church in Pittsburgh. His pastor, Rev. Dr. S. G. Means, officiated. He was a patient sufferer, and a devoted husband, who died in full triumph of the Lord. He leaves to mourn his loss availably. He is the man for Mr. Meed, and also several sisters and a host of friends. The resolutions coming from the church and choir and the Missionary Circle were read by Mrs. S. G. Means.

The wide spread of popularity of his work, and the true, humorous as well as solid ring of his perceptual talent innately picturing our ante bellum and immediate post-bellum distain gained in three century episode of the race, easily picks him out as one of the Ten Greatest of our country. Negroes of our country. Dunbar, although a poet, was essentially a fighter. He fought for self, for fame, and to show the possibility of unadulterated Negro blood! The Race Needs Fighters Here we consider those ambition and privilege it was to defend the honor of their country and its traditions. In this field Crispus Attucks and Charles Young are our chief exponents of soldiery and patriotism. In comparing these two bright persons, one comes into full consideration of the question as to the number of acts one must do to be called great. Lack of information on Attuck's life prior to his memorable fall on the Boston Commons shedding the first drop of blood for American liberty in our war for independence, makes a judgment difficult. In the case of the late Charles Young there is a striking contrast and yet a close similarity. In Colonel Young's acts there was the constant use of the will, purpose, fighting and struggling for the opportunity to be patriotic. Contrawise, Crispus Attucks' great act occurred upon the heels of the moment and in liberal Massachusetts. Col. Charles Young fought his way through the highest military institution of the new world to the highest military position of any member of the race. No attempt can be made to simulate that Crispus Attucks would not have been equal to the task, but rather to say that Young's life is a long story of recorded facts, while Attucks, truly heroic figure, furnishes a theme initiating much conjecture. They are both similar in that they were both patriots, both dying in harness, voluntarily in the service of our country. Col. Young, like the great soldier he was, however, fought the harder battle, subdued his fury, and afflicted his arm and intellect of his government.

Through his efforts the college recently adopted the quarter system, a late arrival in educational procedure and administration. He possesses in literary training that for extensiveness is rarely found among men anywhere. Certainly it is equalled by no other American Negro. He holds five college degrees, all received for work done in residence study. A. B. Wilberforce University; B. S., Ohio State University; Ph.B., and A. M., Dickinson College; Ph.D., University of Jena, Germany. Dr. Jones spent nearly three years abroad in study, matriculating in the universities at Goettingen, Berlin, Leipsi, Heideiberg and Jena. Apart from his work in education, Dr. Jones is a specialist in psychology, particularly, psychiatry, which deals with abnormal mind in both its healthy and diseased phases. As a student of psychiatry his studies took him into abnormal psychology, psychology of hypnosis and criminal and legal psychology. As a writer, he has a book (Inaugural Dissertation) in philosophy (in German) one on education and one on general psychology. Besides these many pamphlets and articles in magazines in his chosen field. As a recent meeting of the Sanhedrin in Chicago he was placed at the head of the Educational Commission and wrote up the educational policy for the Sanhedrin. The Educational Commission voted to make a survey of Negro education in the United States, edit and publish its findings as a monogram on Negro education. Dr. Jones was asked to head that movement and he the editor-in-chief of the Monogram. In this selection and comments on "The Big Ten" Dr. Jones goes on to say, "Any tempt to select men in any field carries with it so much of the personal element, and flies so boldly in the face of the opinions and prejudices of others such as the old, old, old." At the same time hardy of great value. I remember reading H. G. Wells' selection of the six great men in history, and some of the fine paints he brought out as given by Bruce Barton. After hearing Wells' reasons of his selection, everyone would have great respect for his judgment, of course. One of the reasons he would take a very long article to justify my selection of each one of the ten of the persons selected.

Golden text—But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first fruits of them that slept—1 Cris. 15:20. Today is Easter Day. The Christian Church the world over celebrates the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. The crucifixion of our Lord, terrible tragedy that it was, is completely overrated the dead. All that Christians are now, all that they hope to be, is based on this transcending fact of the resurrection. The Apostle Paul, with characteristic eloquence in that wonderful chapter of first Corinthians, 15th, said, "If Christ be not the resurrection of you and your faith is also vain." For Christian people the resurrection is a fact, undeniable, indisputable. People in all ages, even heathen nations, have believed in a life after death. The Elysian field of the Christians of the Indians, Yallah, of the Norwegians, the heaven of the Christians—all of these hinge on the resurrection from the dead. The crucifixion of Christ is the world's greatest tragedy. "He came to His own, and they received Him not." For thirty-three years he lived among the people. For three years he traveled all over Palestine, preaching a new, gospel, giving sight to the blind, making the deaf to hear and the lame to walk, casting people from the dead. He spoke "like one having authority," and "the common people heard him gladly." Downtrodden, crushed under the iron heel of the Roman government, they gladly welcomed this apostle of a brighter day. He inspired them. He rekindled in their hearts the smouldering angels of the deafened Him, and He entered Jerusalem in triumph. The powers-that-beced His death. They trumped up charges against Him. He died on the cross, a death of ignominy and shame, between two thieves. He gave His life for us. The world has always crucified his progeny. "Today with a message of hope for the common people" will be persecuted. Christ Arose But Christ arose, as He had told His disciples He would. The Romans, aware of this declaration, sealed the tomb in a special manner and put a guard over it. A great stone was put at the door. And yet Christ arose. Heaven's messengers rolled the stone away, and Jesus walked out. He had conquered the earth, and the sting of death. As He rose, we too, shall rise, both now and hereafter. Now, we shall cut loose from sin, and rise to the highest state of manhood and womanhood. Hereafter, we shall rise with bodies incorruptible and dressed in robes washed white in the blood of the lamb. Then we will be a Christian today ought to say with Job: "For I kn w that my Redeemer liveth, and that the latter day he shall stand upon the earth, and though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet out of my flesh shall I see God." Golden Text. "But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first fruits of them' that slept." Christian men and women need no longer fear death. Christ rose as an evidence that we, too, would rise. The resurrection is a fact. The question for us is—on which side will we be? Shall we be among the crowd to be blamed of the blinding of my Father. Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world?" Or shall He say to us: "Depart from Me, we workers of iniquity, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels?" This is our task: To so live here and now that on the resurrection morning we shall be on the right side hitherto Him to "Canaan's fair and happy shore," there I remain and to bask in the sunlight of God's eternal love, giving praises and honor and glory to His holy name for ever and ever.

A. BROWN'S SOCIETY ORCHESTRA Direction: Just follow the crowd! BY GEORGE ENDOM TAYLOR NEW YORK. April 17—Educational classes of colored people in Harlem are real upset and their affiliation is unbounded following the information that a white man, together with a corps of white teachers, are to be in charge of the new public school building, P. S. 133, recently erected in 140th street and Seventh avenue. The ill feelings have reached a fever heat here and such valuable assets as Testaments and Bibles have been shelved for the time being. The colored female voters formerly relied upon the Colored Democratic care for the situation in fact this much was understood by leaders of the colored workers. Nearly all of the classes of colored children at P. S. 89 will be shifted up town to the new school with white officials and instructors. The colored population has, it seems just awoke to the real situation as it had been considered as a matter of course that the colored democracy would take care of the situation. It now develops that the Board of Education had a similar idea of his own, cut and drilled ready for use. This has angered the colored people to their gills and trouble is expected from refined quarters when ever the move to the new school is made. Information as to what is really happening or going on, on the inside is very difficult to obtain. John M. Royall a big colored political leader here is preparing some plans by which a relief can be obtained in some educational circles and welfare, communities, but Mr. Royall refused to give the target at which his guns are aimed to the press at a late hour last night. Louis Lavelle prospective colored candidate for U. S. Congress was too much occupied with a big law suit case to jail his position in the matter, at any rate it is to be a lively fight later on. A white official of the school P. S. 89 whoh I talked with, and who asked me to withhold his name said: "Well there is much excitement about the building in regards to who it is become the official head of the big new colored school up in 140th street just erected by the City for colored children.

You see the classes here, the higher ones will be shifted up to the new school, the officers like one, the light is now centered merely upon this building—who will take charge here. I can positively say right now that it will be a white man because the colored people in Harlem and the City of New York have failed to groom a colored man for the position. There is not a colored man on the list eligible for the position at either school. The only way they can join a colored man in at this late hour is the colored people here in Harlem up and demand it then the Board of Education will be compelled to lend an car to their Please do not mention the source of your information as I am forbidden to give out any information for the press about this squibble, but to tell it right it is purely the fault of your own people." Mrs. Eddie Aspinall head of the Parents Committee for the colored city schools of New York, who permitted her name to be used said: "The colored women and men in the city might not be on or off the list who can qualify to assume the duties at either P. S. 89 the old school or P. S. 139 the new school as Principal or Superintendent. They are incompetent and a white man will certainly be put up here at both schools. What about the flagrant rumors of the immoral conduct of the half-grown colored school girls up here who have been giving the police department some trouble, you think this will be remedied any? She was a victim of all of our crimes and its attitude is doing all it can to keep down these rumors and to check up the Street brawls among these girls." That Old Gang of Mine (By A. A.

It was the occasion of the annual confirmation at the Church. The class numbered nearly two hundred, there being a number of converts among them. Father Plunket assisted by Father Connelly had prepared the candidates for confirmation; and the entire class took holy communion Sunday morning in final preparation for the event.

Harris With the exception of two present and voted every day of the session of 1023, which was in January and ended in February. I. J. K. Wells Re-elected as Head of Body "Unite the Race Through Youth" Is Slogan Adopted—Plan Big Expansion—West Virginia to be Host Next Year. NASHVILLE, Tenn., April 17—The National Youth convention held by the American Federation of Negro students came to a successful conclusion following a four day session. The sessions were held in the heart of the city at Clark Memorial M. E. Church. Virtually every section of the country was represented. With the slogan that a race is no "Deader than its youth, and no more Alive." Youths representing leading Negro educational institutions were sent as delegates. Among the larger college and universities represented were: Atlanta University, Atlanta, Ga.; Lincoln University, Lincoln, Pa.; Meherry Medical College, Nashville; Tenn.; West Virginia College Institute, Institute, W. Va.; University of Chicago, Chicago, Ill.; University of Illinois, Northwestern University, Armour Institute of Technology, were among the Illinois institutions of learning represented by the Chicago Intercollegiate Society. The sessions of the meetings were given over quite entirely to the consideration of a practical program. The convention pledged itself anew to the carrying out of a vigorous drive to encourage the youth of the race to prepare for the great field of business. To Spread Inspiration Among Youth Many of the educational institutions of the country will be federate with the youth movement during the ensuing year. One of the tenents of the movement. Unite the Race Through Youth——will herein be crystallized into a reality. All the delegates dedicated themselves to warring upon the indifference of youth wherever it is encountered throughout the country. During the summer the Youth Movement will station several field agents in numerous places throughout the United States. Next Connection in West Virginia Next Convention in West Virginia The delegates from West Virginia, instructed to bring the convention to their state next year, succeeded in carrying it to West Virginia Collegiate Institute, near Charleston, W. Va. The convention will meet in 1925 on Good Friday an. the following Saturday during the Easter vacation period. Officers Elected for 1920 The following officers were elected I. J. K. Wells, of Pittsburgh, Pa. president; George W. Goodman, Llnc Colun University, vice president; B. B. Simmars, Mcharyr Medical Col- lege, general secretary; F. W. Atkinson, Atlanta University, corres- ding secretary; L. M. G. Mough, # Associate Institute, treasurer. The United States was divided into zones consisting for four or more states throughout which zone secretaries are to supervise the work or the federation. The zone secretaries to function in these seve- ral regions are. D. R. Cross, West Virginia; George W. Goodman, E. D. Simmars, Dr. E. W. Washington, of Maherry; and Chicago; F. A. Walker of Atlanta; A. L. Richard- son of Washington, D. C. was elected chairman of publicity. The healthy outlook of the youth movement was shown in the friendly manner in which both college and professional students and all fraternities and sororities co-operated. This will be observed from the fact that the Kappa Alpha Psi, the Alpha Phi Alpha, Omega Psi Phi, Phi Beta Sigma, Chi Delta Mu fraternities and the Delta Sigma Theta, and Alpha Kappa Alpha were both officially and unofficially represented. The several officers of the A. P. of M. S., are from among these groups. The convention closed its sessions and President Wells began a tour of the southern and northern central states in the interest of movement. His itinerary included Tennessee, Arkansas, Missouri, Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana and Michigan. A. L. Richardson is in Louisiana establishing units and gathering information for the movement. The newspaper feature, "The Ten Greatest Negroes American Has Produced, released each week is the work of the American Federation of Negro students. ALBANY. N. Y.

THE PITTSBURGH COURIER BOOK REVIEW BOOK REVIEW IN THE LAND OF COTTON, by Dorothy Scarborough. The MacMillan Company, publishers, New York. Price, $300. This is the story of Rena Liewellyn—her sunny childhood, picking up folklore and songs from the Negro field hands to her father's plantation, her friendships, her romance—and through it all runs the story of cotton. Miss Scarborough writes with knowledge and humor of the picturesqueness and beauty of life on a cotton plantation, with convincing seriousness of the destruction caused by the dreaded boll weevil, by flood and by drought, and with indignation of the saarific of little children to the demand for labor in the cotton fields. demand for labor in the cotton industry. Cotton dominates the story as it does the lives of the characters, and makes this at the same time a typically American book and a novel of unique flavor. unique haven. One reviewer of this volume has written that it is the story of the Negro in the South and of Cotton, but we think he missed the mark. It took the work of any particular race, but of the people, both white and black, who live and die by King Cotton. It is a deep, moving story—one to be long remembered after it is read. All the characters excite the reader's sympathy—poor white and poor black alike. One becomes interested in their varying fortunes and follows them with increasing hope for their winning a hopeless battle. for their winning. There is a bloodied romance, the depth of which touches the best in all. But ever and anon cotton is the master, the relentless master, and the end the hero gives his life as he has lived it—for cotton. The book tries to answer the puzzle: What about cotton, but the answer is inadequate. There seems to be no answer. Cotton seems to say definitely that it will go on forever dominating its producers' lives—maiming, killing, elevating and rewarding—until nature or an accident removes him from his throne, and not the brain and genius of man. AS I LIKE IT, by William Lyons Phelps (Lampson professor of English literature at Yale University). Charles Scribner's Sons, Publishers, 592 Fifth avenue, New York. 236 pages, Price $2.00. This is a delightful volume of discussion on literature, art, music and matters of current interest, presented from a personal viewpoint. The twelve chapters originally appeared as monthly feature articles in Scribner's Magazine from September, 1922, to August, 1923. Almost everything is true and intellectual interest during that period is touched upon by this delightful critic. The interest the articles aroused by their publication in Scribner's magazine demanded their appearance in book form. form. Prof. Phelps talks about nothing, but he illuminates it, and he expresses his views in such a way that every one can understand them, and that even those who differ with him enjoy them and sympathize with them. In no form has he ever revealed his winning personality and the brilliant play of his thought so fully as in these discussions of the books that set the timely questions of the day. and the plays and the critics. After communing with Professor Phelps one feels much refreshed and ready to tackle hard problems again. "As I like it" is more or less for a certain cult, but any literary inclined person will find the work well worth reading, if for no other reason than to "brush up" on events that are half forgotten. $16.00 Value Six Jewel White Gold Filled With Choice of Assortment of Dainty Cases Very Special $9.50 Genuine Diamond 14 Carat Solid Green Gold in White Gold Top—Your Choice or Hexagon or Octagon Shape Easter Special $10.00 We also carry a full line of Musical Instruments and Accessories.

Arthur Brisbane's Insanity ARTHUR BRISBANE is paid $100,000 per year to write his column." This is the publicity stunt passed along to credulous, fools in order to keep Brisbane's paycheck moving in his direction so many times per year. To the mind of the slightest independence, Brisbane and his writings must appear as the most stupendous money scheme associated with American journalism. Brisbane says things which, if put to the test of reason, can no more prove instructive, valuable or profitable than so much intentional ruthish from the pen of the professional humorist. Every so often Brisbane runs out of argument, and man material. He falls right back on whatever he thinks is the popular food for his readers, and he feeds them rot and more rot until the space allotted him is filled. He always fills his allotted space. It is profitable that he fill it, and he fills. His latest tirade is in favor of the Ku Klux Klan. He thinks the "white supremacy question" is just the thing now and he travels all the way to Australia to find an argument that will take in America. He finds it. The whole island of Australia is the white man's private property. If that is so reasons Mr. Brisbane, then the whole of the rest of the world is the private property of the white man. There is nothing on earth quite as false as Brisbane's position. He knows there are ten black or dark people to every one white on the whole globe today. He knows that there are enough dark people in India to run the Britains into the arctic regions, if the Indian population decided that no one but themselves belonged on earth. The same is true of Africa, South America and other places now under white domination. Do Mr. Brisbane want the darker peoples of the world to stare something? Then his tirade on everything that is not strict Nordic is very timely indeed. To our mind, the man is running wild under the false impression that he is a writer of valuable "stuff."

He even accepted a place on the Republican organization ticket as Delegate at Large to Cleveland. But Senator Couzens of Michigan, in his endeavor to start something at Washington, got sorely worsened in his letter to tie with Mr. Mellon, and started out to injure the greatest Secretary of the Treasury the country ever had. This was a opportunity for Mr. Pinchot to strike President Coolidge through Mr. Mellon's Department, using the Michigan Senate as his smoke screen and financial assistant.

The bill has caused no little discussion because it touches the lives of Southern Europeans and Japanese. These people are talking against the provisions of the bill, and they are arousing as many people as possible, with the hope of having the provisions made milder, with respect to themselves. WE ARE hearing a great deal about the provisions the Johnson immigration bill. The bill has caused little discussion because it touches the lives of Southern Europeans and Japanese. These people are talking against the provisions of the bill, and they are arousing as many people as possible, with the hope of having the provisions made mild with respect to themselves. The people from Southern Europe do not want to be sent out of this country. The Japs are said to be very much hated and humiliated because they are excluded by a definite clausing with Orientals. But the Johnson following offers a great argument support of the bill. For example, few of us know how much of the Nordic races came to this country at a given time against members of the races from Southern and Eastern Europe. The following figures furnish us with some valuable formation: The people from Southern Europe do not want to be shut out of this country. The Japs are said to be very much hurt and humiliated because they are excluded by a definite clause dealing with Orientals. But the Johnson following offers a great argument in support of the bill.

From 1910 to 1920 there came to this country from Ireland 145,987 and from Germany 341,498; from Italy 1,109,524, and from Russia 921,957. The war held back the immigration from Russia and Italy, but in these two countries today are hordes of people waiting to come to this country in the greatest flow of humanity the world has ever known. In 1914 there were 1,124,480 immigrants admitted to the country, of which number 71.1 per cent were from Southern and Eastern Europe and but a small 13.6 per cent from Northern and Western Europe. It will be seen that the Southern and Eastern Europeans were crowding into this country much more rapidly than the members of the Nordic races. It is claimed that the purpose of this country is to save the country to the Nordic races as against the others from Southern Europe. The future of the country, it is claimed, depends upon the Nordics. This is the cause for the alarm among the Johnson following. If the Negro is allowed to take the place left vacant by the excluded Southern and Eastern Europeans; if the attitude of the Nordics toward the Negro is to improve as the country develops its Nordic family; if the family blood is made better by an increase of Nordics, and a better family blood means a better country for its citizens, then the Johnson Bill ought to mean a better opportunity for the American with the darker skin.

It is the only thing which makes the real and lasting splendor WITHOUT. Trust that inevitable law of self-expression. BE, not seem! Be TO seem! Be beautiful, and you will will and by seem so. Carve the face from within, not dress it from without. Within lies the robing room, the sculptor's workshop. For whoever would be fairer, illumination must begin in the soul—the face catches the glow only from that side. It is the spirit's beauty that makes the best face, even for the evening's company; and spirit's beauty is the only beauty that outlasts the work and wear and pain of life. The single prayer worth praying in this connection is that of Socrates, the ugly man: "Ye gods, grant me to become beautiful in the inner man; and that whatever outward things I have may be in harmony with those within!"—Rev. W. C. Gannet Before—And After SOUIBS Courie WEEKLY —By Holloway ARS FOR TURE GRETS FOR PAST Holloway. Homely Philosophy By Georgia Douglas Johnson Are you alive or just half alive? Your actions tell. Do wheels turn and things hum when, you are about? If so, you are alive, you are putting pep into things.

The Porter and His Tip John Baptist Ford, Pullman porter and the first of a series of lectures on transportation at Dartmouth College, views the porter's job very sensibly as both an opportunity for service and, because of the vacant hours which can be used in study for advancement. But on the subject of tipping, Mr. Ford is merely tolerant and noncommittal. When asked to define a fair tip, he answered, "Let your conscience be your guide," implying, probably, that passengers should adjust their gratuities to their incomes. As a matter of fact, no tip is fair to the man who receives it, whether the man who gives can or cannot afford it. The tipping system is a steady assault on the moral and economic independence of those who rely on it for their living. In the United States only a few classes of labor are afflicted with the servility induced by personal service in the expectation of gifts, but in Europe entire populations are corrupted by the practice. In fairness to railway norters, they, along with other people, should receive a living wage which would make tipping unnecessary and leave them their st. - respect. A man's work is worth a wage that is not determined by the momentary whim of anybody. WOMAN, 100, HAS PRAISE FOR FLAPPER OF TODAY The Present day "flapper" has a staunch supporter in Mrs. Margaret A. Latshew, who celebrated her one hundredth birthday. She said: "There isn't anything wrong with the girl of today, the 'flapper, as she is called. She is about the same as the girl of today, girls, and women as well, should wear more clothing for their own comfort, but there is nothing immodest in present-day styles that I can see." (N. Y. World) THE-DIGEST Miss Burroughs By Floyd J. Calvin Copyright, 1924, by Pittsburgh Courier Pub. Co. THE Filipino people are demanding independence from American control. It was promised them, they claim, when they showed their ability to govern themselves, and now they affirm, through Manuel Roxas, chairman of the Philippine Mission at Washington, that they are ready to take over the captaincy of their own destiny. The following two questions were asked to J. First: WHAT SENTENCE? ANSWER TO IS a labor organization. Pay one member, give your own members. Keep of their own destiny. It is but natural that people want to be free. As with individuals, so with nations. But the Filipinos are in a difficult position. This government has said it would free them when they show you can govern themselves. Yet they must labor under the restrictions set down by this government. Naturally such restrictions would be conservative and intricate. Yet a power coming into its own would be expected to make mistakes. Where it would show its real worth would be in its ability to go forward in spite of its errors. But these opportunities are denied. these opportunities are there. It would seem more the part of good-will toward the Filipinos after they have lived in hope of independence so long, to grant them their freedom with reservations rather than deny it altogether, indefinitely. Then if they failed in administering their affairs with reasonable peace and safety, America assuming new control might not be unjustified. control might. It is to be regretted that the government views the freedom of another nation in such a different light from which it viewed its own, now more than a century ago. JOHN W. DAVIS, ex-ambassador to England and one of the strong "dark horses" considered for the Democratic Presidential nomination, has in a letter to a friend declared in effect that he would rather be right then be President. He wrote: You offer me a chance to be the Democratic nominee. In exchange I am to nominate both with and immediately in my request which is both pleasant and honorable modest bounds profitable, to thank our honorable clients who offer my honest employment, and desert a group of professional colleagues who are able, upright and dedicated to his independence by trimming his professional course to lift the gusts of popular opinion. In my judgment, not only dishonors himself, but degrades his reputation. I tell you that our job must not pay this price for any honor in the gift of man. The reference to "the gusts of popular opinion" meant the wave of hysteria which followed the Tappot Dome oil investigation, when practically every American citizen who happened to be successful in a large way was prejudged without a chance to defend himself as being a tool of predatory interests. The answer Mr. Davis sent was not timid and uncertain. If the people have forgotten their own standards by which they appraise personal worth, it speaks well for Mr. Davis that he has not forgotten his. THE NEW YORK AGE has nominated Roland Hayes, distinguished tenor soloist, for the Tenth Spingarn Medal. The New York Amsterdam News has seconded the motion. We would like, also, to lend our own approval to this choice, but we think a name more appropriate is that of Henry Ossawa Tanner. Mr. Tanner is a painter and artist of international reputation, who was popularly hailed on his recent visit to this country as the "dean of American painters in Paris." We would not, for an instant, attempt to minimize Mr. Hayes' worth, but his achievements are so recent, and Mr. Tanner's of such lon-standing, that the latter would seem to deserve preference. "The rules for the Medal read: "The man or woman of African descent and American citizenship who shall have made the highest achievement during the preceding year or years in any honorable field of human endeavor." We think Mr. Tanner's "years" somewhat overshadow those of Mr. Hayes. Although his home is in Paris, Mr. Tanner is still an American—(born in Pittsburgh)—and we have had no notice of him claiming other than being "of African descent," in spite of the fact that the American (white) press negatively implied as much on its announcement of his arrival last winter. The Freedon have honored him with membership in the Legion of Honor. We, therefore, submit Mr. Tanner's name as a candidate for the Springarn Medal for 1923. OUR CASUAL reference to the National Association of Wage Earners on April 5 has brought this answer from Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, president of the organization: I have just read your comment on the purpose of the National Association of Wage Earners. I am sure you did not take the time to read the purpose of this organization. You see from the enclosed that we are not only encouraging them to become efficient in other callings, but that we are not only encouraging them to give employment to operators and mail order clerks. We are not setting up an organization of domestic workers only. As you will see when you read the literature, as you will see when you read the literature, we are doing a very laudable and necessary piece of work. You state that the people who go into domestic service go as a means to an end, that they do not become employers. We are not going to tend that if they are going to serve at all, they should know how, in order to make their work easier and their income larger. The majority of the colored women who work in the country are in the situation is, that in the northern section of this country white servants are getting the best places. If we were skilled in our line, we would be able to communicate with the workers, be released from labor of this kind for years to come, for the reason that the majority of the colored men seem to need their women to help them meet the bills. You spoke of the time when we shall have servantless homes. There has always been, and always will be, a demand for household assistants. House work will not be theudge of the workers, but the general intelligence of the workers themselves. Twenty-five years from now we will be applying the eight-hour law in this field of industry, and there will be any number of other industries. President National Association of Wage Earners, Washington, D. C., April 7. First we wish to inform Miss Burroughs that we did read all the literature on her organization before we wrote our opinion, which she sent with the letter given above. And incidentally we state it is not our habit to make any statement whatever without at least satisfying ourselves that we are competent to do so. From the literature sent we take the following "purposes" of the organization: "purposes" of the organization: FIRST—To develop and encourage efficient workers. SECOND—To bring the kind of work for which they seem best qualified. THIRD—To elevate the migrant class of workers and incorporate them permanently in service of some kind. FOURTH—To standardize. FIFTH—To ensure that will enable women to POWER N-10 RADIUMATE WORK POTENTIAL to secure a wage that will enable women to live freely. live decently. SLXTH—To assemble the multitudes of grievances of employers and employees into a set of common demands and strive, mutually, to adjust them. SEVENTH—To enlighten women as to the value of education EIGHTH—To make and supply appropriate uniforms for working women. This shall be done through a profit-sharing enterprise operated by the association, influence just legislation affecting women, wake earners. We confess that in our ignorance we can see nothing practical which might come of Miss Burroughs' movement. It is too general, too vague, too impatient. The nearest she could come to having a program like this work out be-to-establish a school to train girls in the art of "personal service" and have an employment agency in connection with the school to find them jobs when they graduated. SATURDAY, APRIL 19 EDITORIAL The following is "the working plan explained. Two questions came into your mind: were asked to join the work of the club? WHAT DO YOU GET OUT? Second: WHEN DO I GET IT? ANSWER TO QUESTION NUMBER 12 is a labor organization with a particular purpose: to receive your membership card, begin members. Keep your commission cents to reach membership sent to who you work for. If you work, you will pay the dollar (that you put in) back but you can earn a steady income keeping members. ANSWER TO QUESTION 13 When do I get it? When you keep twenty-five cents out of your pocket, five cents yourself as you work. This part makes us distressingly famous Marcus Garvey and his slogans."

Wesley Jenkins, Noble Sissom Blake, Lottie Gee, Florence Mills, W. H. Jackson, Shipp and Griffith B. Wilson. When we recall the theatrical strides made the past decade, and remember that it was the bers of the D. R. C. who did the work, graduations seem mild and inadequate. They wrought well. They have made more than the history; they have made social and racial history; they have done even more. They have opened up and more lucrative avenues of employment for creasing number of their group. The ice has broken. The only question for those to think whether they have talent and adaptability.
