The gun was too light for its missile to inflict fatal results. Hancock was taken to the Southside hospital. His condition is not serious. In his room were found goodbye notes written to Mahal Clark, said to be his sweetheart and to Lillian Hancock's, the man's sister. In the notes he said he could not find employment and was tired

Veteran Journalist Garvey-Dubbed "Duke," Gets Royal Burial
NEW YORK, Aug. 14—Harlem buried its first "aug. 14" Sunday, when three funeral services were held for John Edward Bruce, newspaperman and politician, who bore the title of "Duke of Uganda" in the U. N. I. A. Over 5,000 members in regalia of crimson and gold, with sabres drawn, marched behind the hearse, following the funeral services.
Mr. Bruce, who was 67 years old was employed in 1870 in the Washington office of the New York Times, where he was fired with an ambition to become a journalist.
His writings were circulated throughout this country. Europe and even Africa, and he developed great influence. He covered Washington for a syndicate of Negro journals for years, writing many political stories under the pen-name of "Bruce Grit." He was a member of the American Negro Academy and a founder of the Negro Society for Historical Research.
Bruce died in the Bellevue Hospital Thursday afternoon.

No Smallpox Epidemic In City; Elks Are Coming

In emphatic and direct combat against the anonymous propaganda to the effect that there is an epidemic of smallpox in Pittsburgh, and the coming conventions may necessarily have to be moved, the office of Mayor William A. Magee has made public a letter written to Joseph R. King of Cleveland, Ohio, in which he clearly sets forth that Pittsburgh is not "only a very healthy city but a very beautiful one," and welcomes the fraternal bodies to convene here.

wrote to the Mayor as follows:
Your Honor:
I have been informed through the railroad agents that there is an epidemic of smallpox in your city and that the authorities are moving the sessions of the Imperial Council, N. M. S., and the International Conference, Knights Templar, scheduled to be held there Aug. 18 to 24 to some other point.
Please advise me immediately whether are not there is any apparent danger, and if you think it will be necessary to move the meeting elsewhere.
Chairman, Transportation The secretary at the Mayor replied as follows:
August 12th, 1924.
Dear Sir:—
Replying to your letter of August 3rd, addressed to the Mayor of Pittsburgh with reference to a smallpox epidemic in this city, I wish to state that Pittsburgh has not had over thirty-five cases of smallpox at any one time during this year. We have no smallpox epidemic here and I believe that your own city has had more of an epidemic of this kind than any of the other cities in the United States which have recently been visited by this disease.
The various committees here are completing their arrangements for the Knights Templar convention and I understand two or three other large conventions are due to meet here following yours. We not only have a very healthy city, but a beautiful one as well, and it will be worth your while to attend the convention and also visit our various historical and educational sites.
Trusting this will lanswer your inquiry satisfactorily, I am, Very truly yours.

Secretary to the Mayor.

President Backs Rights Of Negroes
Rebukes Man Who Asked Him to Interfere In Nomination of Dr. Roberts—Draws No Color Line.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 14—Hitting straight-from-the shoulder in the forceful, direct manner which has marked all his actions since he became President, Calvin Coolidge, in a letter made public Monday released Charles F. Gardner of New York City, who said his influence to prevent the nomination of Charles D. Roberts, Negro dentist, as the Republican candidate for Congress in the Twenty-first New York City District.
The President cited the constitutional pledge of equal rights and the war record of the Negro race as two fundamental reasons for his attitude. He said that to deny the Negro his full political rights would be a repudiation of the traditions and principles of the Republican party.
The letter from Gardner, which drew from the President this definite statement of position said:
"It is of some concern whether a Negro is allowed to run for Congress anywhere, at any time, in any party, in this, a white man's country. Repeated ignoring of the growing race problems does not excuse us for allowing encroachment. Temporizing with the negro whether he will or will not vote, either a Democratic or a Republican ticket, as evident by the recent turnover in Oklahoma, is contemptible."
Not One Evaded Draft
To this statement, President Coolidge made reply as follows:
"Leaving out of consideration the manifest impropriety of the President's intruding himself in a local municipality, I am amazed to receive such a letter. During the war 500,000 colored men and boys were called up under the draft, not one of whom sought to evade it.
The suggestion of denying any measure of their full political rights to such a great group of our population as the colored people is one which, however it might be received

New Yorker Named For Customs Office
NEW YORK, Aug. 14 — Alfred Allen, 38 W. 139th street, a member of the Manhattan Republican club, has been named a U. S. Customs Inspector. Republican Leader Robert S.

Fight On Roberts Begun In New York
NEW YORK, Aug. 14-Ass-ment that Dr. Roberts is not the type to represent the race in Congress, the fight on the election of Dr.-Charles Roberts started Monday.
The Progressive Group, connected with the LaFollette-Wheeler movement, are urging that William Pickens, Yale graduate, be named.
Republicans here can recall, that a Negro has been selected as nominee of one of the two major parties in a Congressional battle. The 21st District, which includes Harlem, is normally Republican. Political leaders said Dr. Roberts had a fair chance of going to Washington.
His selection, made in response to demands from Negroes in all parts of the country, was made possible by the fact that the Republican County Committee has designated Martin C. Ansorge, former representative from the 21st, for election to the General Sessions bench.
The selection of Dr. Roberts was reached after consultation with leaders and after conferences with Republican leaders in Manhattan.
He is 50 years old and lives at No. 233 West 139th street.

Legacy of Wealthy Kentucky Man Gives Faithful Servants Bulk of Vast Estate.
LEXINGTON, Ky., Aug. 14
For faithful service covering of a period of more than forty years, Mrs. Ellen Davis and Alex Rankin, employees in the home of the late John T. Hughes, have been rewarded with the bulk of his estate valued at half million dollars. With in ink on legal can papers, filing six pages, the last written the wealthy farmer, honored on his residence at the Mayville Pike last Monday, brings coveted riches to the feet of two loyal servants who had long since learned to believe wealth and luxury were not their lot. News of the legacy has stirred the countryside.
The bulk of the estate includes 1,000 acres of Bluegrass farmland adapted for thoroughbred horsebreeding.
Ellen Davis, faithful servant, is given the home farm on the Maysville pike, containing 273½ acres absolutely. She is also given the contents of the house, the farming utensils on the place, wagons, work stock and a black saddle mare, "Red Belle H." Her part is worth $200,000, it is estimated.

Hallie Q. Brown Chosen To Lead Women by G.O.P.
CHICAGO, Ill., Aug. 14 — Miss Hallie B. Q. Brown, the talented leader of the women of the country, has been chosen to direct the Negro women in the Republican campaign for Coolidge and Dawes. The appointment was made known by Mrs. A. T. Hert, of Kentucky, and announced at the closing meeting of the biennial session of the National Association of Colored Women, of which Miss Brown is the retiring president. Congratulations have been given to the new leader her home in Wilberforce from all parts of the country. Following her appointment, jealous interests began to work against her strong influence, but to no avail.
Two rival meetings were held Friday. Miss Brown called a meeting at the Y. M. C. A. in the afternoon. Mrs. George S. Williams, member of the Republican National committee from Georgia, and Mrs. Ma. C. Booze, committeewoman from Mississippi, held a meeting at the Wendell Phillips high school in the morning in the interests of the Collidge c. campaign.
Miss Brown has Big Following.
"The great majority of the Negro women are back of the meeting called by Miss Brown," according to Mrs. Bertha Montgomery, president of the Cook County Women's Permanent Republic club, and Mrs. Joanna Snowden-Porter. "We worked very hard to secure the appointment of Miss Brown at national health care because she is one of the best-known women to follow her leadership in the campaign. We feel that our women should be directed by one who can vote.
"The National Association of Colored Women is nonpartisan, but most of its leaders are behind Miss Brown. The new president, Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, and Mrs. Booker T. Washington spoke at the meeting this afternoon."
Miss Brown will take up her work at the Chicago headquarters August 18th.

The only harmless way to bleach the skin white is to mix the juice of two lemons with three ounces of Orchard White, which any druggist will supply for a few cents. Shake well in a bottle, and you have a whole quarter-pint of the most wonderful skin whitener, softener and beautifier. Massage this sweetly fragrant lemon bleach into the face, neck, arms and hands. It can not irritate. Famous stage beauties use it to bring that clear, youthful skin and rosy-white complexion. You must mix this remarkable lotion yourself. It can not be bought ready to use because it acts best immediately after it is prepared.
well known lawyer here, won out last week in his wife's suit for divorce against him charging abandonment. The wife was formerly Mrs. Geraldine M. Jefferson of Norfolk. The two were married four years ago and lived for awhile in Durham, where the attorney represented the North Carolina Mutual.
Squandered $17,000.
In her bill, Mrs. Andrews claimed that her husband squandered $17,000 which she received from the estate of her first husband, Dr. W. W. Jefferson; that he abandoned her and her four children and failed to give them adequate support.
Andrews, testified that, he abandoned his wife only after she put him out. He testified that he had spent $12,000 on the family in the four years of his married life, of which sum his father had given him $3,000.
Ruined Practice.
"She ruined my practice," wailed young Andrews referring to the fact that his wife had had him arrested and confined to jail, while arranging bond. He declared he looked after his wife's estate and had saved her more than $2,000 in handling it.
Mrs. Andrews, he said, took down the bed in which they slept, took back the furniture, she had put in his office, separated her furniture from his, and put hers in the storage and for the last straw took away from him their Jordan automobile.
Andrews is the first colored lawyer to practice in Wilmington for the past 25 years.

Draws No Color Line
"Our Constitution guarantees equal rights to all our citizens, without discrimination on account of race or color. I have taken my oath to support that Constitution.
"A colored man is precisely as much entitled to submit his candidacy in a party primary as is any other citizen. The decision must be made by the constituents to whom he offers himself, and by nobody else. You have suggested that in some fashion I should bring influence to bear to prevent the possibility of a colored man being nominated for Congress. In reply I quote my great Predecessor, Theodore Roosevelt.

and Uttackber also was an officer in the organization until last week, when his term expired.
Mr. Washington was a chef at a hotel here, where it is alleged that he and a pretty white waitress carried on an "affair." It is alleged that the Klansmen forced the girl to agree to arrangements for her own behalf and Washington on the night of February 29. When the man arrived, he was surrounded by masked and robed men. He tried to escape and was shot in the back.
Fell: Feigned Death
Dragged into a nearby ravine, Washington feigned death and the ceremonial was held. After the masked men had departed, he crawled to the road and was taken to a hospital by a passing motorist. Mrs. Brown, the woman in the case, and her husband, were indicted for the shooting, and recently were brought back here from St. Louis, where they were arrested. Authorities say they have confessed and have revealed the names of the other members of the mob. Additional arrests are expected.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 7. There is to be held at Meadowmount, Essex County, New York, a pageant in honor of Inez Milholland on August 16, 17, 18, 1924. The women of America revere the memory of Inez Milholland because of her plucky fight in behalf of woman suffrage. A New York newspaper says: "No woman of modern times was more wrapped up in securing for her sisters the rights which were their due than Inez Milholland. She may not like Joan of Arc, have heard

nounces that arrangements have about been completed. The decoration committee assures the visitors that they are merely awniting the signal. The entertainment committee has provided for something to go to every minute of the day and night. Local business places and places of amusement have secured special attractions to aid. Civic spirit is at fever heat. Pittsburgh intends to outrival all other cities in showing their ability to handle the biggest gathering it has ever been their lot to entertain.
Other incidents, in some measure, have apparently overshadowed the real purpose of the convention, but it is understood that real sessions are being planned and that questions of vital interest to the Negro will be taken up and thoroughly discussed. Elections to the many offices is creating quite a stir, and some pretty inside "politics" might be played in an effort to get a favorite son over.

Ladies Auxiliaries
The following ladies Auxiliaries will be in session:
The Daughters of Isis; Order of the Eastern Star, Interstate chapter; The Interstate Grand Court Order of Cyrene; The Interstate Court of the Heroes, and The Interstate Grand Guild of Templar Crusaders.

One of the biggest features of the annual Masonic convention, to be held here next week, will be the Sahara Light May, on Watts street, between Wylie and Center avenues. The street has been officially turned over to the Templars and Shrine by the City, and will be the center of attraction.
When lit up at night, it will be a veritable "gilded open-air palace."
One curious calling is that of a New York woman who earns a living by pawning and redeeming the belongings of other women who are in need of ready cash, but do not like to be seen visiting the pawnshop. She collects a small percentage on each transaction.
Next January will mark the one hundredth anniversary of the death of Eli Whitney, who revolutionized the cotton industry by his invention of a successful machine for separating cotton from the seed and cleaning it with great expedition.
heavenly voices, but she heard the voice of humanity and she laid down her life a martyr to the cause she espoused as truly as did the Maid of Orleans at Rouen.3
The colored women of America have particular reason to remember Inex Milholland. When the great woman suffrage parade was planned for Washington several years ago, she refused to lead the parade as chief marshal unless a place were given to colored women particularly to the Howard University group. She these Howard girls marched in the parade—and not at the end of the procession. In the pilgrimage of women to Meadowmount to be present at the masque to be staged in her honor, a group of Howard University girls, will be present along with other representatives of the colored people of America, who recall Inex Milholland's upstanding fight in behalf of the constitutional rights of colored women of America. Colored people have not forgotten the long continued fight of her father, Honorable John E. Milholland, for all of the rights guaranteed to colored people under the constitution, and it is all the more fitting that groups of colored people representing all sections of the country be present at the masque.
Several officers of Howard University will be present, along with representatives of the girls' student body. Among those who will make the pilgrimage to Meadowmount will be Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary of Howard University; Miss Lucy D. Slowe, dean of women, and Prof. T. Montgomery Gregory, head of the department of dramatic art. A number of women of the National Association of Colored College. Woman is also planning to be present.
Love Crazed Man Shoots Wife; Kills Two Others

ened for the safety of the women, who were unprotected in the house, the girl, who, before her marriage, was one of the city's prettiest girls, began to scream.
A district policeman, heard the women's cries and went to their assistance. Tucker was persuaded to leave the house and the policeman, it is said, walked with him to a corner and turned him loose. Before the policeman was a block away, the enraged man walked back to the house, and pulling an automatic pistol, from his pocket, attempted to break in the screen door.
Shoots Three Women
One of the women stepped out on the porch and started to pick up a chair, apparently intending to strike at the intruder. 'tucker began firing immediately. The first bullet killed Mrs. Smith. As she fell across the threshold Tucker, it is said, stepped over her dying body and ran into the house, firing as he ran. One of the shots struck Mrs. Gray and she fell dead. Mrs. Tucker was wounded by two bullets. One penetrated her back and the other a hip. It was said she would probably die.

Several papers to the publicity to the fact that all delegates and visitors must be vaccinated before coming to the city, but the information is unfounded and there is no cause for alarm.
According to figures compiled by Director C. J. Vaux, of the health department, the prevalence of smallpox in Pittsburgh has not been so widespread as in several other cities, due to the prompt response on the part of the public in the vaccinating program: From January 1, to July 21, smallpox cases were reported in other cities as follows:

Late Wednesday afternoon, before dinner, he came to her house under the influence of liquor and threatened her with a beating, and also threatened her life. While he was waving a knife about and abusing her, a companion came and took him away:
**Warned to Stay Away**
He returned immediately after dinner and again threatened her, at which time she cried and begged him to go away from her house. He advanced toward the door of her room with his hand behind him and when he kept comigr, on in spite of her entreaties to stop, she shot him three times.

with the renowned family of Allens, whose high ideals and noble lives as citizens of Athens, Ga., won for them the honor of having a village on the outskirts of the city to receive their name. Allensville, the name of the village, has since been incorporated.
Miss Greenwood enjoys a very successful musical career. She has been organist for the First Congregational Church, Rev. Russell S. Brown, pastor; for the past three years, while her success at the piano has been very marked. In a piano recital held in the Ware Memorial Chapel of Atlanta University last April, Miss Greenwood very capably demonstrated her ability as an artist.
This attractive "grad" is now pursuing a special course on the organ. She intends to resume her studies on the piano in the fall.
Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority is the pride of Mildred's heart and surely A. K. A. has a jewel in her. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Greenwood, both of whom are graduates of Atlanta University.

Fakes Suicide To Regain Love Of Young Wife
WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 14.—(P. N. S. T.)—James Wilson; age-137 years, got himself into a peck of trouble when he endeavored as a last resort to get his white wife away from her relatives, who it is said, had induced her to leave Wilson.
According to the police Wilson faked a suicide Wednesday. He told the police he took up the telephone early in the morning and called his wife. He imitated his father, and told her that "my son" had shot himself and wanted her. She went to the bedside of the man. The police say that when they arrived they found Wilson lying on a bed gasping and apparently with little life. He left. Kneeling beside him was his wife of eight months, feeding him water with a spoon. On a chair near the side of the bed was a revolver, no shell. He was sitting on the bed. The man's head was swarched in gauze bandages. Cotton padding under the gauze had been stained carmine. An ambulance was called and brought a physician, who examined the bandages and the head of the patient. He found no wound. He discovered the crimson stains on the padding was red ink.
Wilson was then taken to the police station charged with disorderly conduct. The woman and Wilson were married in Harrisburg, Pa. November 6, last.
Thought "Light" Lover Was White, Now In Hospital
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Aug. 14. (By the Associated Negro Press.)—Monsy Gilreath is so light in color that he can "pass." Therefore, when Lucius Hill saw him in the park with two colored women he thought he was white. Hill decided that a white man should not sit out in a Birmingham park with these ladies unmolested. He threw a brick at Gilreath's head which didn't connect. Gilreath retaliated with two pistol bullets, which did connect. Hill will recover. Gilreath gave himself up and proved that he is colored. Hill has apologized for his mistake.

Race's Failure To Enter Trade Seen As Mistake
NEW NEGRO MASONIC TEMPLE, Birmingham, Ala.
Opportunities In Harlem, Taken Advantage of By Whites, Said to Be Missed Gold Mines.
A question being generally discussed among local Negroes is: "If an outlet for 'racial egoism' must be had, is not Harlem a more ideal setting than somewhere in Africa or in a prescribed section of the United States exclusively occupied by Negroes?"
Marcus Garvey, president of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, dreams dreams of a Negro empire on the dark continent. Hubert Harrison, public speaker, sighs for a Negro State in this country, where the Negro energies will be harnessed for the promotion of his economic, political and spiritual self-help and advancement.
Mr. Harrison says a Negro State in Africa is impracticable. Mr. Garvey says poohl to Mr. Harrison's pet scheme. The average Negro in Harlem frowns upon both, pronounces them vague and imaginary, and maintains that instead of chasing rainbows advantage should be taken of the golden opportunities which so abundantly present themselves in the most thickly populated Negro community in the world.
Harlem & Gold mine
North Harlem is frequently likened to a gold mine over which the Negro daily passes to and fro seemingly unmindful or unappreciative of the potential wealth and power within his very midst. This simile does not exaggerate. It very aptly

describes the situation. Here is a unique settlement of nearly 200,000 souls. It has numbers, a growing racial consciousness, and in some respects has taken on the characteristics of a budding city in the Middle West.
But unlike other sections of greater New York people largely by a distinctive racial group, the Negro appears, to be more concerned to spending money than in joining in any organized movement to legitimately gather in the many thousands of dollars which each day flow into the coffers of storekeepers. On this important phase of his economic development the rank and file appear indifferent and unconcerned. Two-thirds of the business places conducted in this thriving Negro community are owned and managed by white people, who cannot be for their attainable display of acumen and initiative. It certainly is not their fault they are reaping a financial harvest. They recognize North Harlem as an ideal action to make money and are doing so.
The characteristic attitude of the two races in the matter of promoting business enterprises in accurately reflected in the rental of a block of twenty-two stores recently built on one of the principal thoroughfares. A survey shows that eight of the stores are tenanted by colored people with a barber shop, real estate office, cigar store, lunchroom, jewelry store and beauty parlor each occupying half the premises and an automobile stand, combined with shoe-shine parlor and stationery store.
Whites Handle Staples
White tenants occupy most of the building with a meat market, grocery store, bakery, tailoring establishment, two delicatessens, dress goods, store, cleaning establishment, tea and coffee store, lunchroom, soda fountain and confectionary store.
The question inevitably projects itself: "Why are not the Negro's energies harnessed more effectively for the promotion of his economic self-help and advancement in Harlem?" For, whose fault is it that he fails to grasp many of the chances for making money among his own?
Aentent the New York Negro's political status, whatever position he occupies he, for a very large measure, has made for himself. It is well known that petty jealousness, bickering, selfishness and a lack of resourcefulness have been contributory elements to operate against the race's superiority. No one familiar with the situation can deny that if the Harlem Negro registered and voted in proportion to his numerical strength, then played the game "according to Hoyle," the race would enjoy a larger representation in the Adlerman Board and at Albany, to say nothing of the possibility of a Negro. Congressman.
As a former Police Captain of the 38th Precinct stated some months ago, there were more colored churches in the district in proportion to population than in any other sector. Other than Harlem, Harlem is well adapted for the promotion of the Negro's spiritual self-help and advancement.
The expression is repeatedly made: "Garvey should have invested the many thousands of dollars he collected in - Harlem apartment in business." Had such a practical course been pursued by the head of the Universi:l Negro Improvement Association he undoubtedly would have been a constructive force to Garvey. He was also pealed to the imagination of his followers by talking New York real estate and business instead of "ships for the redemption of Africa" is an 'her question.
Masons Build Home
In contrast to the mental attitude of those who are inclined to think that Africa or some place far removed from the white man should be used as a sort of laboratory to demonstrate the Negro's capacity to do big things, perhaps it is opportune to mention that during August the new $600,000 Masonic Temple built at Birmingham by Negro Masons of the State of Alabama will be dedicated with imposing ceremonies. The temple is one of the largest and most impressive buildings erected and owned by Negroes anywhere. There are six stores on the ground floor, an auditorium seating 2,500 and a woman's rest room on the second floor, four lodge rooms and eight offices are on the fourth floor. The building is equipped with three elevators and is heated by the overhead vacuum system.
Taylor and Persley, architects of Tuskegee Institute, designed the building built by gro contracting firm of Windham Brothers.
Workmen All Leave, Plant Closes Down
FAYETEVILLE, N. C., Aug. 14.
—(By the Associated Negro Press.)
—Because they cannot be operated as now organized with white labor and because of the absence of Negro workers, due to migration North, the Hawthorne Sikh Mills, run here for the last 85 years, have been forced to close down. In normal times the mills employed 600 Negro workers. Since the war they have had to import workers from other towns and states, but have now found it so difficult to do so that it is less necessary to close down to avert bankruptcy. Officials of the firm declare that talk about the Negroes returning after a while is all "piffie."

Court Gives Dashing and Charming Real Estate Dealer Clean Name—Society's Appetite For Scandal Not Appeased.
CHICAGO, Ill., Aug. 14.—(By the Associated Negro Press)—Mrs. Mattie Walker Thompson is not a common thief nor any other kind of thief, for that matter. This fact was determined by Judge Holmes of the Municipal Court after he had heard the evidence presented in his court by the attorneys of one, Firse, who had accused Mrs. Thompson of operating a "con" game and stealing $300, which sum he claimed he had entrusted to her during the course of a real estate deal, as an agent for him. A local paper had already printed a sensational story affected to be a true account of the affair and the social and business circles have been literally torn asunder during the past-two weeks in every section of Chicago.
in accordance with the traditions and customs of the real estate business in Chicago and referred to Illinois Supreme Court decision in support of court's outcome, and dismissed

The first hearing ended in a continuance of the case until last Tuesday morning. At the second hearing Mrs. Thompson testified that Firse had given her a sum of money with which she was to close a real estate deal in his behalf. She concluded her end of the contract, but, in the meantime, Firse changed his mind and demanded a return of the money he had given her to close the deal. She complied with his request to the extent the full amount save $300, which amount she held, as by agreement, as "Earnest Money" that had been given by her in good faith to the owners of the property she was negotiating to procure for Firse.
Judge Holmes held that the transaction was perfectly legitimate and

Read spoke freely of his part in the traffic, but remained reticent when questioned about the parties from whom he received his supply of the narcotic, police declare. Federal narcotic agents in both Wheeling, Pittsburgh, which are believed to be the traffic centers were immediately notified of the seizure. Both Reed and Peters are being held in the county jail for questioning by the Federal authorities. Late Monday night narcotic agents in the two cities were attempting to run down the clues given by Reed in his admissions to the officers.

After throwing a man and his wife out of their home and taking complete possession for themselves, two local men, one with a long criminal record, the police say, were finally dislodged by policemen and lodged in the Center avenus police station Monday morning. According to the police, two brothers, who said they were Samuel Brown, "City" and Theodore Brown, 107 Sommers street, entered the home of Harper Johnson, 2128 Hymen street, and threw out Johnson and his wife. When the brothers attempted to throw Johnson out he seized a revolver and started to shoot. They overpowered him and threw him down the rear steps.
Plainclothesmen Charles Pryor and James Hughes, hearing the shooting, rushed to the house and found Samuel Brown in front of the house. He was arrested. Meanwhile Acting Motorcycle Lieutenant George Franz, and Patrolmen William Harper and William Williams, set out to Gosford avenue station. The three officers found Johnson, and started a search of the house. When the officers entered a bedroom on the second floor they found Theodore Brown in bed. Brown

Loendi's New Steward Pleasing Club Guests
Since the cuisine of the famous Loendi Club has been in charge of the now well-known steward, William Wells' local club patrons have decided that there are just two best places in town to eat—at home and at the club.
Under the careful direction of Mr. Wells, the culinary department of the club has advanced to such a degree of excellence that those with the most exciting taste can be satisfied and pleased with the opulent food cooked in the best possible manner.
Much favorable comment has been made over his unusual ability to give the public what they want to eat and make it taste just a little better than they expect it to taste.

Homestead Club To Battle 'Rube' At Forbes Field
Galaxy of Diamond Stars to Be Seen In Action Elk Week—Westerns Big Attraction.
After years of consistent ball playing, in local independent and big league circuits, the famous Homestead Gray Baseball club plans to take a long step forward in crossing bats with what is considered one of the greatest colored ball clubs today. Rube Foster's great American Giants, one of the most formidable teams in the Negro National League and an aggregation which has not only made impressive showing in Negro baseball arenas, but even in white National League chasers, Rube's team has left their sting.
Local fans will have a chance to see Allegheny county's pride, just fresh from a string of hard-earned victories, do battle with what is considered one of the greatest Negro teams in baseball week after next, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, Aug. 19-20-21.
Just as Napoleon prepared for Waterloo, the hurling Grays and their aggressive manager are getting their beat bets in tip-top condition for the clash which they have been looking forward to for years. The boast "Bill" will witness his visit when this hard-fighting local club attempts to keep Rube's men from boarding the lion in his own labyrinth, the spacious National league park. Forbes Field.
The Grays boast of a quintet of starling horsehide tosers—the menace of local base cavorters, in the persons of Williams, Cannady, Owens, Wheeler and Branahan; Brown, Moody, Gray and Washington have been fielding stars, and Graham, Johnson, Cannady and Forman are among those who have been doing good stickwork.
But the mighty Ruble comes here with such highly-touted stars on his roster as DeMoss, premier second baseman; Gardner, star center fielder; J. Brown, receive; Torrienti, hard-hitting left field; Ryle, formerly of the Grays, star moundman; Bobby Williams and others.
Both teams plan to fight hard for honors, and the strategy of the brainy Ruble vs. Posey is sure to be thrilling.

Jack Johnson, Tut Jackson Battle Aug.11
Former Champion Will Attempt Come-Back in Chicago Friday—Gives Age As 46.
CHICAGO, Ill., Aug. 14 — John Arthur Johnson, he of the "golden smile" and former heavyweight champion of the world, said to be the best defensive boxer ever known, is planning to stage a comeback.
Wednesday afternoon of last week signed articles with Howard Carr, owner of the Arcade Gymnastium and matchmaker, for a 10-bound bout with Tut Jackson, of Winnemucca Court, Hines O., at East Chicago, on the night of Aug. 15th.
The bout is a no-decision affair, but Johnson, the former champ, is confident of winning by a knockout. Forty-six years old, the veteran and crafty ringman; still has a world of confidence in his own ability to "carry through" and states that when he steps into the ring he does not feel a day older than that memorable afternoon when he sent Jim Jeffries t. obliquy and perched himself permanently on the top of the heavyweight class.
Johnson plans a trip to Australia and India, and has been offered $25,000 for six months by .. Captain Collins, who is backing the proposed journey. He is planning to open three health schools in Chicago.
Duquesne Bats Too Much For Bullock
The Duquesne A. C. defeated the Willock A. C. in an interesting game Saturday at Willock by the score of 14 to 7.
Marshall and Vassar, for the Northsiders, a powerful twirling combination, matched baseball wits with Martin and Letmitt, of Willock for the honors of the day, and a pitcher's battle was staged, which was well-worth witnessing.
The game was keenly contested from start to finish, with Duquesne getting an early lead and holding their guests scoreless until the 8th.
L. Johnson had two home runs and W. Johnson had one. Other batting stars were Friend, two 3-base hits; Vassar, one 2-base hits; F. Johnson, Friend, Hornsby, Vassar.
The score: R

Flowers' Long Quest For Chanceto End Aug.21, When He Meets Greb At Fremont Two Fastest Middleweights in Country Prepare For Big Bout-Advance Sale of Tickets Heavy, Says Promoter.
By GEORGE PULFORD FREMONT, O., Aug. 14.—On the night of August 21, if all goes well, one of the longest quests on record in the boxing world will conclude in a 24-foot ring. After asking three postponements since signing articles and also insisting that he shall name the referee, Middleweight World's Champion Harry Greb has been notified by the Ohio State Boxing Commission that he must go through with the ten-round no decision match with "Tiger" Flowers of Atlanta as his opponent.
FREMONT, O., Aug. 14. goes well, one of the longest of world will conclude in a 24-foot ponements since signing articles name the referee, Middleweight has been notified by the Ohio he must go through with the te "Tiger" Flowers of Atlanta as h Promoter Ray Bronson, has completed his large open air arena, which was erected especially for this great match, and to date has more than 20,000 in advance ticket, sales. Bronson anticipates more than a $60,000 house to witness the match, that experts have said would be the greatest middleweight fight ever staged.
That it will be fast goes without saying, for the rivals are the fastest men in their class today. Both have met and defeated the best middleweights, light-heavies and many of the heavyweights since they became so good, that finding opponents for them was hard work.
Harry Greb won the referee's decision from Tommy Gibbons in Madison Square Garden. He has beaten every fighter of note in his class and many out of the class.
"Tiger" Flowers is the untreated colored shirt of the champion of the world. He made mincement of Panama Joo Gans, and Larry Estridge, who recently won the mystical colored title from Gans, has repeatedly and steadfastly refused to ever have anything to do with Flowers.
Flowers is the lone exception Greb has not beaten and Greb is the one man Flowers has not made a punching bag of—yet.

Black Barons Bow Twice To Kay Sees Bats
KANSAS CITY, Mo., Aug. 14—The Monarchs narrowly escaped with a victory in the opening game of the series with the Black Barons of Birmingham at Muelebach Field Saturday, winning 6 to 3. In the tying run on the bases in the ninth inning, a fast double play, Rogan to Duncan to Hawkins, saved the day for the home club.
Allen's home run to the center field fence in the third proved the feature of the game. In the fourth inning "Heavys" Johnson was hit in the head by a pitched ball and was carried from the field. Score:
Birmingham. 000 100 101—3 Monarchs. 021 003 00*—6
After trouncing the Birmingham Black Barons in the first game, 7 to 6, in ten innings, the Monarchs were denied further opportunity for victory before a crowd of seven thousand fans at Muelebach field Sunday, the aftermath being called on account of darkness.

all its times, gave the wild bull
his first hard work.
Shadow-boxing, rope-skipping and
a few rounds of sparring were
induced in.
Tate boxed two rounds with the
Argentinian and shook him up with
lefts. Luis appeared annoyed and missed several
vicious returns.

With his retinue of trainers, handlers and sparring partners, the New York contender states that the excellent care being given him by his wife, Mrs. Harry Wills, is doing now to keep him in a contented frame of mind than anything else.
Wills is still doing light training work, and will unot undertake the rigorous drive of conditioning himself until next week. He shadow-boxes a bit, punches the bag some and skips rope, but most of his time is swimming, great outdoors. Rowing, swimming, great outdoors. Are-taking up of most of his time.

Cuban Stars Are Jolted By Hilldale
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 14 — Ed Bolden's hillel team made another notch up the percentage column of the Eastern Colleged league, Saturday, when they handed a setback to Pompez's soldiers of fortune, which is another way of describing the Cuban Stars, who have been finding the sledding tough, victims of many misfortunes. The Islanders are now bringing up the iner in the Eastern league scramble. The local missile maulers took a liking to Juanelo's benders and combed his delivery for 11 lusty blows! Judy Johnson leading the van with three hits that totaled a half dozen bases. Red Ryan, who tossed them up for Hildale, was found for a marker in the first-session, but after that pitched a brand new defensive swissfisher and barring the opening inning of play, the visitors never threatened the eld gun.
The combination of Warfield and Stevens, the pony duo guardians of the keystones sack, furnished the fielding thrills for the 3,000 cash customers, a total of 17 chances were handled by these 2 agile pastimers without, the semblance of a slip. Score:

Western Man Says "Let's Have Negro World Series"
LET'S HAVE NEGRO WORLD SERIES
By Ollie Womack, Kansas City, Mo.
To The Sporting Editor
The Pittsburgh Courier,
Pittsburgh, Pa.
KANSAS CITY, Aug. 14—"The 1923 Champions of the Negro National League, and apparently sure repeaters for the current season, have shown themselves to be the real monarchs of Negro baseball in the west, which is by no means a small achievement, knowing as we do the class of ball that is and has been played by the American Giants, Detroit Stars, and other strong teams in years past and present—recalling the defeat of the Bacharach Giants, the cream of the east two years ago.
"The fans of Kansas City, who should share equally the credit for the success of the sterling athletes under the able
guidance of Joe Mendez, because of their loyal support—nire demanding a reward for their pets in the form of a championship series at the end of the season with the champions of the Eastern League. This popular demand is by no means unreasonable, but instead is. very logical. There must be some great objective to which the players may appeal, they as a result will lose the interest which makes them play to win.
"The National and American Leagues (white) are wonderful organizations, and their entertainment is of the highest type. Why? Because of the research they when they work. For instance, they have received $3,500 or better—and the honor of being World Cham-
pulled "So why should these Negro athletes, who are pioneers in their line, not be allowed to enjoy the same advantages and distinctions they do? How can following men be found in late September?

Total receipts, $2,000 per share over $2,000 each, so much to losing owners, so much to winners, so much on."
"At any rate one can see that this would mean hundreds or thousands to all concerned, besides the first-class entertainment the fans would receive as their reward for their loyalty to their local teams.

Hilldale Wins In Ninth From Harrisburg Gts
PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Aug. 14—After having the game apparely within their grasp, the Harrisburg Giants lost a sensational game to Hildale at the local park, score 5 to 4.
Pitcher Charlie Henry had been going great guns for seven innings and after the Capital City team had socked Cockrell's offerings for four innings he took the Golden Clown carr. Carr out the home team within striking distance in the eighth, when he doubled down the first base line with two, on scoring both runners. Mackey on the first base line, Sibley, Henry weakened and passed Sibley the visiting pitcher made matters worse, when he failed: to field Thomas's roller that he dropped down with sarcificial intentions. Judy Johnson's sacrifice fly scored Mackey, top and crossed the plate with the winning run when Rodgers threw Warfield out and Wesley's relay to the plate was late. Wesley hit a home run, two doubles and a slam. Charleston trips to the plate. Carr and Charleston also hit home. Score:

Eastern Snapshots
"WHAT DO YOU THINK OF FIRPO AS A DEFENSIVE FIGHTER?" postcards H. D. Bogue of classic Boston. What we think is of that expression accredited to John Joseph McGraw: "A strong attack is the best defense." Of course, he was referring to baseball teams, but it holds good in the box-fight game as well. It is easy to hit le Bull, as Dempsey proved last summer when he knocked him down a half dozen times in two rounds. Newspaper reports also indicate that the ancient and honorable William Tait is finding him easy to reach in his present training. Each of them is getting $25 a day for it. Firpo is truly a bull, for attacks viciously follow him many times. He rushed Jack and knocked him out of the floor and almost into oblivion. But Dempsey came back and in the coming proved himself a real champion, something we were not ready to admit prior to that incident. He hit Luis hard and often and the Argentinian's morale and attack collapsed together. What happened is profane history. Harry Wills will find no iron-jawed, lion-hearted Bobby Madden in the ring opposite him on the night of September 11. But he will find a pit-driven, ham-like right fist whistling, sudden demise around him. And here entereth IF. If he can build, a defense against that right, Wills stands an excellent chance of winning. Firpo does not have the boxing ring permission may be the turn of the fide. Last week we saw 'Sid Barbarian, the Detroit Armenian, in combat with our Nate Goldman of Kensington. Curiously enough Sid seems a pocket edition of Firpo. Two or three times he had Nate all packed up and ready to go, but he did not know how to open the door and kick him out. Nathaniel weathered the hurricane and won the decision. Something similar may happen to Firpo-Wills.
ATLANTIC CITY WAS EN PETE LAST WEEK when the Bees took two, out of three from Hilldale there. After winning six straight league games Ben Taylor's Washington Potomacs were headed by the despised and mistreated Royal Giants, who took-them for two straight. Harris-burbed dubbed away one to the champions on Thursday. This week the Clan Darbie and the Potomacs are embroiled in a five-game series which may tighten up the race "powerful much," as Hop says.
COLONEL C. W. STROTHERS, THE SVELTE OWNER OF THE HARRISBURG GiANTS, lured away Pitcher Bell, a right-hander on the staff of Charley Mills' St. Louis Giants. He made an inauspicious start with the Capital boys, being shelled from the hill at Wildwood two days later.
HARD LUCK STILL SNAPS AT THE HEELS of Alex Pomper, the owner of the Cuban Stars. Saturation at Hilldale, the greatest Chacon, whom our boy friend, Cum Posey, styles the world's fractured a finger when he stopped a drive from the bat of Yulius Johnson, which is slang. For Judy. Baro is still out of the fray with a broken leg and several others have been incapacitated from time to time. This, we might add, is one reason why the islanders are not around the top in the seaboard loop.
IN "RATS" HENDERSON AND "BUCK" EWING CHAPPEL JOHNSON has one of the greatest batteries in captivity. Many baseball men consider "Rats" the best right-hander in the game today. He is a shrewd pitcher with a head and that is the kind we believe in boosting at all times.
STRINGGEANS WILLIAMS HAS MANY A GOOD GAME in his ancient whip. Last week he held the St. Louis Giants to four hits and no runs, while Lloyd and company slugged out 18 hits and scored 19 runs behind him. Shively and Lloyd each had four bingles and Richard, Duke of the Duchy of Lundy, had three.
BILL TATE IS LIABLE TO FIND HINSELF JOBLESS. The big Norseman has been making a punching bag of Luis Firpo and the Seltshrae caret not for that type of sparring partner. Unless Bill cases up he may find himself on the bread line again, as far as the Wild Bull is concerned.
THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE BOXING COMMISSION took drastic steps to weed out incompetent officials at the Philly show last week when Chairman Rocap fired a judge who had made a ridiculous decision in the Philly sparring bout. Mr. Tiptilz built that Mr. Tiptilz was entitled to the verdict over Dundee. The only jurors in the ported that contention was Mr. Tiptilz and Yusil might be considered as prejudiced. The chairman immediately handed Mr. Cohen his straw benny and bade him be on his merry way. And we are assured that any other official who proves himself unfitted for his duties will join Mr. Cohen in the wilderness.
MACK EGLESTON AND GEORGE WASHINGTON LED THE ATTACK of the Potomacs against the South Phillies on Saturday, when the downtowners were handed the short end of a 15-1 score on their own grounds. Beating the South Phillies in Shetzline park is like trying to lick a German in Berlin. You know what we mean.
A WEST PHILLY FLAPPER (WE SUPPOSE) ASKS US AN EASY ONE. She wants to know who is the best southpaw in the Eastern League. While not having access to the official records we would say off-hand that Dave Brown of the Lincoln Giants is the best porssider we have seen in action this year. He may not have the best percentage, but he is our choice, just the same. His strongest assets are control of self-und the ball. That temperamental complex which is considered part of a forkhander, is missing in Dave's makeup, and he is as steady, as a Quaker on his meeting day. Dave will be on our All-Eastern team at the end of the season.
EIGHT CONTENDERS FOR BENNAH LEONARD'S CROWN were in action at Shetzline Park, Philly, last week, and some of them looked mighty good to us. Pete Waxler put up a dandy show and gave the fans a run for their money. In the first bout Jude Dundee of Baltimore was jobbed out of a victory over Joe Tiptitz as related above. Jack Zivie of Pittsburgh conquered Ray Mitchell in an impressive fashion. Eddie Kid Wagner gave Al Moran a look from the pitcher's glare. Two killers were the wind-up and furnished thrills in the comeback and Sid Bardarian gave him plenty of opportunity. Nate's superior ability overcame the rugged Armenian with the wind-mill punch. So good was their stunt that they were rematched for August 25 at the same park.
BILL PETTUS WAS A GOOD FELLOW WHEN HE HAD IT. He gave his all to ballgame, the game he loved, and developed many a star for the sport. Now the oldtimer is down and out. He is fighting the most difficult season. Indeed, he is fighting for his life. His need is great. Every dollar he can get few more miles of railroad fare toward the West and health. He deserves his chance, which he certainly cannot get where he now is.

Main Liners Play West Indian Cricket Team At Haverford

Even though Bellevue has made the famous Gray club bow before them earlier in the season, the high-class branch of baseball played in the Oakland stadium was more than enough to overcome the apparent hoooo which was said to be evident when Belle-

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Aug. 14—
Eggleton and Washington were the leading sluggers in a batting spree induged in by the Washington Potomac. Saturday, afternoon at Paterson Park, Brentwood, bright streets, when they defeated the South Phillips by the score of 15 to 1.
Over 6000 fans saw Pat Ragan and his clans go down to defeat in a game marked by ragged fielding by the home team. Fairbairn, the South Phillips’ shrunetop helped greatly in their downfall by committing three glaring errors.
Manager Ryan's team was badly crippled for the game. Bustard Lloyd led the team, and Kewpie Dean was forced to play first base, and he played the initial back in fine style, accepting 15 chances without an error.

Greatly perturbed by the woman's remark, Lida questions her father, who calms her fears and prepares to take her to a Northern finishing school.
(Continued from Last Week)
AT THE beginning Lida and her companion failed to comprehend the seriousness of their predicament and stood so long gazing at the spectacle that before they fully sensed their danger they had been swept from the sidewalk and into the midst of the whirling, swirling, fighting mass. Indignation at their predicament and their inability to free themselves, as well as the irrit of battle that now seemed to trip all, caused them to forget the defining influences in their hearts and they bottled back with those whom they till they were so hummed in by the jam that their efforts were futile. They were last becoming as hysterical as those about them, losing their saner senses appreciation of their dangers overwhelming them.
As they struggled a cobblestone willed over Lida's shoulder and mashed against the skull of a citizen, who immediately lost consciousness and slumped, though the compactness of the crowd about him presented his body for a moment or so from falling to the paving, where it was later trampled into an unrecognizable mass. Both girls now began screaming is the horror of their redicament grew. In the midst of the confusion, just as Lida was losing control of her senses and becoming entirely nausea, she was conscious of a strong voice over her shoulder. "I'll protect you, ladies" it said. "Don't get nervous. Don't get nervous. Steady, no! Steady!"
There was something so commanding about the voice; something so brant, confident and reassuring that Lida's courage which had beenaking her began to return. She had to see who was behind her, but had. The soothing positiveness of the assertions she heard was restor- to her a calmness that a few moments before she was ready to be- was impossible. Her company, however, was still screamingbattling. Before she could collect her senses further the voice commanded, still in hat vibrant calm assured tone:
"Turn about now. Turn till you
are me."
The voice seemed now to be hawing the same effect on Miss 'Comtook as it had on Lida for she ceased to scream. Both girls, with every way and twist of the crowd wrenched their bodies till they were turned in the direction they had been commanded to take. With each give and surge of the crowd they gained more freedom of movement. When armed completely about they clung o each other desperately and looked or the face of their rescuer. His back was now turned to them, but he talked to them over his shoulder. "Now catch my coat and cling for life. Don't let go for anything, and see behind me," he shouted.
The girls battled till they were pressed closely against his back; so closely that they breathed with difficulty. He waited till he felt the dutch at his coat and the clinging arm about his waist. Tall of shoulders and ruggedly set up he was almost complete protection for the girls on their front. As they clung rantically to him he started to make a path through the fighting mass. Fists were flying and blows were immed in promiscuous, as well as disinterested generous profusion at the head of the young man who acted as their protector.
Lida was self-possessed enough by blow, thanks to the healthy outdoor life to which she had been bred that her nervousness was leaving her. They moved toward the outer edge if the crowd with slow, disputed steps. Lida looked up at her projector and marvelled at the coolness with which he fought for them; how he parried blows aimed for him and through it all waded toward the rim of it and safety.
Then his head was tilted back by he blows which were rained on him. Dace Lida felt his progress halted and his body tremble. She thought he was about to sink and inwardly uttered a prayer for strength for him. His dark almost curly hair, which fell about his face, was shaken back from his brow again and again blows. Being taller than most of those about him he was a target for almost every other fighting man. Police clubs swung at him at the same time that fist blows came his way. He parried them all with the defiantness of a ring-master, but never

drug store on a further corner, through the rear entrance of that and again into the street, but beyond the riot zone. As they emerged from the storm, a taxicab was passing. The driver was seeking safety, fearing the mob would soon turn that way. Without preliminaries: the young man halted the cab, opened the door, hurried the girls into it, shouting:
"East side!—East Side! Quick!!" The driver pulled his levers and drove rapidly up the hill past the University and toward the vicinity of Miss Gregory's school. The girls were still in such a frantic state of hysteria, though subdued, that when the cab halted they feared another assault. Asked where they wished to be driven, Lida, who was the more composed of the two, decided they would walk, having seen the school cupola a few streets away. Their rescuer started to accompany them, but they demurred. Miss Comstock, who had been weeping silently, regained self-control as they walked away. The driver realizing that the young man was in need of medical attention turned on the power and hurried to find a physician. The simple life of the Southern country girl had given her a constitution to which "nerves" were unknown. Due to this she was the more

composed of the two girls, the less shaken as they started down the street to the school entrance. Miss Comstock seemed to sense this strength and clung shiveringly to Lida's arm. The latter was the first to speak. "Wasn't it awful?" she commented, half musing. Her companion abuddered and clung to the arm she had grasped.
"A street fight!" Linda continued,
her mind retracing the events. "I
wonder what it was all about? I
surely thought we'd be killed—and
we would have had it not been for
him—Oh!" she cried, standing still
at the new thought that intruded.
"Oh! we didn't get his name—How rude!—and he was hurt, too." Then returning to Miss Comstock. "Did you see how his head was bleeding-Poor man. He must be frightfully hurt." She suddenly pictured again the flying stone as it crashed against the rescuer's head. Her heart filled with stifling pain. She, too, began to weep as she recalled their struggle to reach safety and the risk this unknown man had run to save them, hysterical reaction forcing the tears and sobs.

Creole Follies To Reign At The Elmore Theater
The famous Creole Follies, a sensational rye company, promises to be another "Running Wild", is the splendid compliment paid this new show by an exacting Eastern dramatic critic. This, together with the fact that packed houses throughout the best theatrical circuits have been praising the show highly, promises that "The Creole Follies" which will be offered for the entertainment of the local public next week at the beautiful Elmore theatre, will be a rare treat.
Jazzy music which originated with our group predominates throughout the production; there is plenty of tuneful music and the nimble footed principals aided by a good-looking chorus pulsar over songs in fine style. Mardy and Jazzy Rag are whistleable as Old Fashioned Lover or The Charleston from "Running Wild."

Business League Holds Big Meeting
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 14—The Negro Business League, of Philadelphia, held a public meeting Sunday afternoon on the subject of women in the hospitality of the Southwestern branch of the Y. M. C. A., 17th and Christian streets. The meeting was largely attended, but more men were present than women. The subject was comprehensively analyzed. Rev. T. D. Atkins gave the invocation, after which Charles Brooks, a Philadelphia broker, gave a brief sketch of the history of the league. He said that 25 years ago under the leadership of men and women were called together to form the league. Before this there were: various clubs, but these were not united and did not have the strength of the then proposed organization at Boston in 1900, and from 2000 members has grown to 70,000.
The league, under the direction of financial men, has formed a financial corporation with a capital of $1,000,000 to encourage business, and it is for this reason that young women and men are eligible to be financial officers. The object of the Negro Financial Council is to give credit to those who need it because of the periods of depression in every field of business. Those who have not yet entered the business world because they haven't the capital, can obtain money through the corporation. Major R. R. Wright, particularly interested in the success of the coalition, He put the big question to the audience: "What can you do to benefit Philadelphia in a business way?"
Dr. Atkins said that the man or woman today who does not plan for tomorrow is retarding the progress of the race and is selfish. In his hands he brought the greetings of the man to the Baptist Conference. Mrs. Mitchell, a business woman, in her address, said that a surprisingly large number of Negro women are working in big business, and in some respects the women have excelled in the mutual Help and Mutual Encouragement" and placed great stress on the value of organizing. Mr. Collier said that the business man cannot live without co-operation from the masses. The meeting was closed by the added pressure of the Honor of the Tribune, who reviewed the progress which the race and the league have made.

A bustling, hustling arrival of

morning the party was reluctantly brought to a close.
Sunday brought a drive through the parks and the city. A great number of callers thonged the home of the Reynolds during the party, who were perfect at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Hodges. Sunday evening was spent very happily. Mrs. Ruth Deane sing in her usual sweet and deep voice. The evening was an unusual one, so happily and enjoyably spent. The Hodges are fine folks, with the real knack of knowing how to dance. They were changed to one of sorrow, because the frolicers began to leave for their respective homes.
Heigh—ho to the city of Cleveland, and, oh, how lasting an impression it has made upon the visitors of the last week. The frolicers are the last words in knowing how to show their friends the city.

Let There Be Health
Let There Be Health
BY DR. B. S. HERBEN
of the New York
Tuberculosis Association
"I'm No Longer Pretty"
"I am no longer pretty!"
These words came up from the
page as a pitiful cry. After all, a
person has a right to be happy in
her beauty and should be sad to lose
her prettiness—especially so when
she has lost it because of illness and
not by reason of "honorable service"
through a long life!
A woman who has 65 or 70 years
behind her and who yet preserves her
health and grace but isn't prettiness,
when through most of it it
obeyed by lines of care, is often more
beautiful than youth itself.
But YOUNG women who lose the
flush of health and freshness of vigorous normal life lack the softening influence of years and its delicate grace.
Remember that WORK ALONE CANNOT MAKE YOU.OLD before it is your turn to bow to age. But all work and no play may help to do it; lack of sufficient sleep, physical abroad. The church in giving him a boy to love, to teach him, to teach his members and friends are invited. He hard returned this week from his vacation and will preach Sunday evening. The pastor will administer the baptism at the close of his message.
The Chautauqua is being attended each evening and afternoon by good friends and family, meeting the expectations raised by the advertisements. The session will close with a presentation, which time an address will be delivered by Commissioner Enright.

G. Wallace Edwards, 24 Avenue A. Mr. Edwards is a man of intelligence and it seems a fine thing if the 20,000 colored voters of the district would bind him. He has issued a broadside against the Klan, which is strong in the district, a step which it is charged the other candidates not do either out of sympathy or that they are Klan. Mr. Edwards has the additional merit of running independently.
There are three colored policemen, one of whom, "Matthew D. Tucker, has been in the department for 14 years. Officer Tucker has an excellent record and has captured many desperate criminals. His friends have treated because he is still in the lowest grade, while less competent men, who are white, have been advanced over his head. Dr. Robinson, 21 Atkinson avenue, enjoys a fine practice and is head of the Asbury Tennis Club. Dr. Samson and Parks with their respective campus on Springwood avenue are among the leading medicals of the town. S. B. A. McKenzie has a very fine photo studio and runs a well patronized book and magazine shop at 1319 Springwood avenue. Mr. Hall has an up-to-date shop at 1203 Springwood avenue and so has Mr. Harnish on the same street. Both are highly respected members of the town.
The Whitehead, 25 Atkins avenue, enjoys the distinction of being known as the best hotel in the town. It is under the management of H. J. Thomas and Mrs. H. Stratton, the meals and general accommodations are excellent. The Hotel Palisade Court, 155 Atkins avenue; Mrs. J. T. Brent, proprietor; is another well known place. Another distinguished citizen is Ms. J. Stratton, the designs afford perhaps the unique sight on the boardwalk. Mr. Harris, as his designs show, is a creative artist of ability. They are all the more remarkable since he has only one arm. He has studied in several leading art schools. He has a fine home, which he occupies with charming and cultured wife and son.
Water's Restaurant on Springwood avenue is one of the largest in the town. There is a thriving division of the U. N. I. A., of which Samuel Davis, 108-1-2 Prospect Avenue, is president. Arthur Craig, who has the Pittsburgh Council set to a large number each week, Miss Mae Browne, has a hair dressing parlor at 1102 Springwood avenue.
A law school for Chinese women has been established in Shanghai as a step toward the emancipation of Chinese women. The school is the first of its kind in China.

Make Yourself More Attractive
No other single factor contributes so much to personal charm and attractiveness as beautiful hair. Seebys' Quinade will help to beautify your hair, and will make it harsh, kinky hair, making it easier to put up in any style its length will permit.
Quinade is a medicated pomade, scientifically compounded by an ex-merger of two ingredients which stimulate the scalp and roots of the hair, and which are calculated to encourage 'its growth.
To get best results from the use of Quinade, the scalp should be washed with a pure vegetable oil base and produces a rich, creamy lather, so desirable in a shampoo. It leaves the hair soft and 'fuffy and imparts the scalp's scald, muequaled in other shampoo.
Insist on getting Seebys' Quinade and Quinasop, asking for them by the full name. If unable to obtain them at your druggist's or dealer's store, visit the store 88c Quinasop 25c and we will them to you postpaid. Seebys Drug Cd., Rawson street and Queen boulevard, Long Island City, N. X.

One slightly, thin kid, aged 9, gained 12 pounds in 7 months.
She must ask any good drugstreet for McCoy's Cod Liver Oil. Tablets—60 tablets, 60 cents—as pleasant to take as cake.

_ As careful as. was the Convention at Madison Square “not

If he is as Progressive as he asserts; if his party is en-
tiled to the followering of all Progressives, except those “intel-

the campaign, it will be between the two major parties. And
we prefer, so far, the Republican party.

‘the Democratic Party expects: him ‘to lead: its
hosts to victory in November.’ ‘The urual hafrangue of

Tt might be-wige for those Negro. voters who con.
template going over into the Davis camp beeause of the
candidate's alleged “fighting “of Yim-Crow legislation,

cela and heartily approves the platform, although he
had nothing to do with its drafting, and it wan writter
by men who did not give Nero eitiens a single thought

to receive such a letter. — .
“Daring the war 500,000 colored men and boys were
called up under the draft, not one of whom sought to

ahy measure of their full political rights to such a
great group of our population as the colored people is
ne which, however, it might be received in some other
quartets, ‘could not possibly be permitted by one who
feels a responsibility for living up to the traditions and
‘maintaining the principles of'the Republican Party.
“Our Constitution guarantees equal rights to all
our citizens, without discrimination on account of race
or-color. Ihave taken my oath to support that Con-
stitution. It is the source of your rights and my
rights. I propose to regard it-and administer it as the
souree of the rights of all the people, whatever their

Dr. Over issuel a very bristling
statement; in which he declarad that
the Incorporated Baptists have snent
years in: muckraking, vilifying and
felse Tepresentation. of real contd
tions. Dr. Over said >
“During ten years Negro Baptists
have endured, with some patience, 2
condition of turr:oil and inte-~de-
nominational strife, whol!; without
prseedent. In a very real way T be
lieve it to have been Prpvidential.
But in spite of our upheata at Chi-
‘cago in 1915, its underlying caases
or consequent development, many
unincorpérated Baptists have persis-
tently ‘hoped that some. ground of
comity of intergsts might be found
‘and’ the two great sections of the
church agaiA brought together. Most
pefortsaately, at least for the time
being, this. glimmering hope has now
been. deliberately extinguisied: and
whatever “the “measure, of. ‘pain,
