YOUTH TAKEN FROM HOSPITAL COT AND HANGED BY MOBBISTS NASHVILLE, Tenn., Dec. 18.—Defiling the spirit of the Uyletide season with one of the most atrocious and bloodthirsty crimes in the annals of "Lynch Law" history, and mocking the sacred Bible quotation of "Peace on Earth. Good Will Toward Men," a gang of Southern hoodlums snatched 15-year-old Sammy Smith from his cot in the bed of a local hospital here Monday night, removed him to a distant and remote spot, and lynched him by hanging. The youth, it is alleged, had shot Ike Eastwood, a white grocer, who operated a store near Nashville. The youth was hanged and several shots fired into his body. Crime Atrocious Unschooled and made desperate by the fact that he was hungry and penniless, and as he sobbingly declared while being taken to the hospital, "kain't get Mom nothin' for Christmas," the youth was a victim of unusual restraints. The wound was not very serious, and the store owner then secured his gun and shot the lad before escape was possible. Feeling ran high throughout the town all day Monday. Eastwood's cronies, said to have consisted of the tougher element of the town, hurled dire threats of a lynching. Police authorities were notified of the threats, but refused to place added police protection around the hospital. Midnight Monday found the He made no secret of the fact that he had intended to rob the white man, but hinted that the money he planned on getting would have only been in repairation for some crime the owner of the story had committed against an older sister of his. What this crime was, the youth would not say, but rumors had been going the rounds for some time in the Negro community of the town that Eastwood bore an unsavory reputation of being a despoiler of young colored girls. The lad, caught as he was about to rifle the cash register, is thought to have shot Eastwood through fear.

PHILADELPHIA HEARS FATAL Mattie Jones Again Found Guilty Of First Degree Murder For Killing Man Brilliant Defense Plea Goes For Naught — Judge's Charge to Jury Characterized as Unfair. Despite the brilliant and forceful defense of her attorneys, Lewis and Norris, Mattie Jones, convicted last winter of the murder of her paramour, Willie Martin, and later ordered a new trial by the Supreme Court, was again convicted of first degree murder by a jury here Saturday morning. The jury was not all of Friday night deliberating. Sentence was deferred pending argument on motion for a new trial. This cas attracted more than passing notice last December because a prominent society, and political woman who was on the jury made capital of her position. Then, when Miss Jones was brought in to have the death sentence passed upon her, Director Butler and a party of friends made it a holiday and gave Mary Roberts Rinehart a chance to get a new "thrill," all of which she has since duly recorded—for pay. The State proved that at a party the night before the crime Mattie Jones told Martin that she would kill him if he did not leave the festivities and take her home. It proved that she had made other threats Triple Funeral Is Held In Uniontown UNIONTOWN, Pa., Dec. 18 With hundreds of persons lining the streets, a triple burial was held here last week, as the result of a fatal auto mishop.

Minister To Teach Poultry Raising In Liberia BY LESTER A. WALTON (In the New York World) NEW YORK, Dec. 18.—As the wife of a United States Minster to Liberia, during the administrations of Woodrow Wilson, Mrs. Helen M. Curtis was a prominent figure in the social life of Monrovia's diplomatic corps. Now, a widow, she is returning to the Negro republic in a new role—the manager of a chicken farm. Mrs. Curtis sailed for Liberia on the Deutschland Thanksgiving Day, first visiting Paris, London and other European cities. She shipped to Liberia four coops of chickens, dozens of fresh eggs and incubators of latest make. It is her purpose to engage in the chicken raising industry on a large scale and demonstrate to America-Liberians and natives the efficacy of scientific poultry breeding. A part of the summer and fall was spent by Mrs. Curtis in California studying improved methods of hatching chickens by incubation. Her hope is that Africans on the West Coast will benefit by the technical experience she has gained and will enthusiastically enter into her program of chicken raising along modern lines. Fifteen DELPHIA S FATAL Again Found first Degree Killing Man to kill him. She left the party at 12 o'clock and at six in the morn- ing reported to the police that she had killed Martin in self-defense. He was shot in the back of the head and through the ribs. A third bul- let missed him. The defense attacked the evidence, showing that the statements were not threats but made in jest, if at all; that they were not made; that the District Attorney could not connect the threat with the killing; that she had a good reputation and the man had repeatedly beaten her; that he was the one who was most likely to have started the fight and thus have raised a new provocation. For two hours and nine minutes Attorney J. Austin Norris addressed the jury in what many lawyers and court attaches said was one of the most brilliant appeals and expositions of the law ever heard. His defense was self-recognition that the defense acknowledged the morning shot Martin. He stressed the fact that there were no witnesses to the alleged murder and that Miss Jones had surrendered herself to the law. The charge of Judge Davis to the jury is said to have been partial and to have ignored many points of law which might have been cited in favor of the prisoner. All over the city the public is comparing this case with the notorious Rosier affair and asking "What is Justice?" PARKERSBURG, W. Va., Dec. 18—James G. Hill, Jr., left home October 11 and since that time search has been made, but no trace of him found. His father, James G. Hill, 909 Laverne street, asks the general public to help him find the boy. When he left home he wore a light brown suit, pin stripe, a pair of overalls and short pants. He is five feet one inch tall, aged 14, and weighs 98 pounds; light brown color and has curly hair.

Jamaica In Land NEW OR IA W ALVE Victim of Auto Mishap Mrs. Anna Stewart, Victim of auto mighbp in Atlantic City last week. "Spite Fence" Held Cause Of Womans' Death ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Dec. 18. —A coroner's jury, composed entirely of colored persons, investigating the death of Mrs. Anna Stewart, wife of Edward Lee Stewart, both of Pittsburgh, who was killed recently when his automobile crashed into a so-called "spite fence" on Maine avenue, rendered a verdict exonerating Stewart: from responsibility and placing the blame entirely upon the owners of the fence. Just who the owner of the spite fence is seems now to be a matter of dispute. Benjamin R. Fox, reality operator, who formerly owned the ground which the fence is supposed to shut off from Maine avenue, said on the witness stand that he had sold it about a year ago to the "Ralston Realty Co.", but no such name appears in the city directory and no one seemed to know what just the concern the conerun. Fox also said the conerun he received from the man he did not know whether it was within or without the private property line. The ownership of the fence and the responsibility for the protection of the public against accidents resulting from its existence will probably be settled regardless of the coroner's inquest, as it is understood that George B. Motheral, owner of the car in which Mrs. Stewart was killed, and employer of the dead woman's husband, will enter suit for damages in behalf of his chauffeur.

Finley Wilson Leaves Hall At Point Of Gun Elk Head Center of Stormy Session In New York One Seriously Hurt, May Not Live. NEW YORK, Dec. 18—Revolvers were finished, heads were broken and the Grand Exalted Ruler of the L B. P. O. E. of W. J. Finley Wilson, was escorted from Imperial Hall, 164 W. 129th street, at the point of a gun at a stormy session of Manhattan Lodge No. 45, last Thursday night. It is said that Ruler Wilson, who had not visited Manhattan lodge, was invited to be present at the election of officers. When the lodge was opened, it is alleged the question of forming a grand lodge arose and the Exalted Ruler questioned whether that was the proper procedure. He was informed that in the absence of the Grand Lodge the Grand Exalted Ruler has executive power. After some formalities Mr. Wilson was invited to the chair and a Grand Lodge was formed for the election of officers. On learning that the Grand Lodge had been formed, a spectator, who did not understand the procedure, shouted: "This is no Grand Lodge!" The Exalted Ruler is said, then closed the Bible and ordered all present to go home. The squirrel made an effort to remove the charm from the wall, when a revolver appeared under his nose and he was ordered to leave it alone. It was at this point that a general scrimmage followed in which it is alleged Ruler Wilson was struck and finally escorted from the room under the protection of Officer Battle. Escaping with him were deputies N. B. Sterrett and Samuel B. Mitchell, Blondie Brown and Buck Terry. Expensive chairs, costing over one hundred dollars, were smashed, so was the altar, while John Lovett, 165 W. 130th street, had to be carried from the room, so badly beaten that it is said to be a question as to whether he will live. According to a certificate he will D. B. Brown, 291 W. 130th street, Lovett is suffering from injuries to his eye and left side, as well as internal injuries and nervous shock.

Remedy Lies in Colonization California through its isolation by distance from the Southern cotton states is not affected by the shifting of the two or more million acres of the densely unplanned, who compries the labor reserves of the lumber, railroad, construction and agricultural industries. California's labor solution lies in the systematic supervision of its various colonization projects. Farm Laborers The only type of Negro laborer needed in California is the farm laborer. The type of Negro farm laborer who is not a driller, but who desires to settle, colonize and become a permanent asset to the community is what is needed in the Far West. The colonization of western farm land is to come a bit and proportion it to be left to the inexperienced and irresponsible, whose only interest is an immediate profit regardless of the class of land sold or what may happen to the purchaser. Non-Profit Organization Successful colonization is based on confidences. To move people from one section to another they must be inspired with confidence in the new country; in the value of the lands and what they will produce. Also they must believe that fair returns may be expected for the labor and capital invested. They must succeed along the future?

Lloyd Horton. Blalock was bound over to the superior court by Magistrate L. M. Waring on a charge of raping Luvenia Jones, young colored girl. Solicitor W. F.

Archeologists Seek African Joan D'Arc PARIS, France, Dec. 17—French explorers working in the Mediterranean section of North Africa are attempting to find evidences of a black Joan of Arc, who ruled the Burba tribe in the seventh century. In a war with Byzantine forces the King of the Burbas was killed. La Kahen, a woman, known as the black Joan of Arc, took his place and with only 12,000 troops drove off and defeated an Arabian army of 40,000. For five years she was able to stand off the Arabian conquerors at El Dijeen, being well supplied with food from unknown subterranean forces. She was subsequently defeated and killed leading her troops to battle. All Races The Same, States D.C. Scientist WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 18- (A. N. P.)—According to Dr. Alex Hardick, anthropologist of the Smithsonian Institution, it is impossible to draw an exact line between the Negro and the white race on a basis of color and curliness of hair. As the white race extends further south, the Negro is the blacker and the hair curlier, until the external appearance is largely the same as that of the true Negro, he explains. The statement was made in the course of a lecture at the National Museum. Science has been forced to discern the theory that white, black and yellow are of different primal ancestry.

Preacher Who Killed Wife Gets 10 Years "Slaying Pastor" Pleads Self-Defense and Drags Dead Mate's Name Through Mire in Effort to Gain Freedom. LEXINGTON, Mo., Dec. 18.—The Rev. C. A. Raulston has been sentenced to ten years in the penitentiary by a jury in Circuit Court here for the murder of his wife June 20. The extreme brutality of the murder of the minister's wife attracted more than ordinary interest last June. The body of Mrs. Raulston was found in bed in a pool of blood. Her head had been crushed by the blows of a hammer and she had been shot three times with a 45 caliber revolver. Pleads Self-Defense Counsel for the defense sought to build up a case of self-defense on the part of the defendant. The evidence, they declared, showed the defendant's wife had drawn a revolver on her husband on previous occasions. When he entered his wife's bedroom on the night-of the killing, the counsel stated, the defendant saw a man, dressed in his underclothing, leap from the room. Evidence in the case warranted a first degree conviction, the prosecutor. The defendant sat within the railing with his attorneys during the entire trial. There was a nervous air about him during the long wait for the jury Saturday night. The court room was thronged beyond capacity throughout the trial. Alsies were taxed and there were scores standing in the hallways outside the court room. Comparatively few left when the jury retired Saturday night, and at midnight, when court was adjourned for the week, there was still almost a capacity house waiting in the hope the jury would find a verdict before midnight. At the time of the killing Raulston was pastor of the Argentine Baptist Church, Kansas City, Kan., and had gone home for a few days.

The colored man had _ Ba incicted on.charges of such a crime and the case had been twice Postponed. It was duc.to be heard before the court of general sessions at Abbeville, in January. “I generally drive my=own car, but I was a:little too fol, and-I got one of the boys to drive for me. 1 was riding and telling him which Way to go.

Wright went to the door and con- tinued firing, backing out then and rejoining his companions. ‘The Anderson Daily Mail, com- menting editorially upon the’ crime asks ‘for justice against murderer, Saar “It is useless for us to tell of what would have happened had the posi- tion been reversed—had it been a Negro man who entered the home of a white man and committed such « crime—for everyone knows what would have happened. * * * We do-not want, with maudlin sentiment, to attempt to prejudice the case against the prisoner; nor do we want to array class’ and color-in such a ‘manner as to argue for his acquittal.

The statement, given out by President C. C. Spaulding, is as follows: "The North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company has attained a national reputation.

A Service Institution A Service institution: "The North Carolina national is a service institution. It is undertaking to definite contribution to Negro life. It is recording its experiences with a view to having them serve as a basis for the operation of institutions which are to follow. The company is generally referred to now as a broadcasting station because of its activity in disseminating information. Its Life Extension Department has very extensive programs during the coming year, including a scientific approach to the subject of mortality among Negroes and hopes to render a valuable service when the time comes for compiling an experience table of Negro mortality. Run on Budget Plan "Experience has convinced the North Carolina Mutual that operation on the basis of the American Experience Table of Mortality is really unscientific for a company insuring colored risks on bone. The sooner, then, a race mortality table is compiled, the better. Scientific management in every phase of the company's work is feature of the Darham program. The company is operated on the budget plan and the expectancy under ordinary conditions is indicated in advance. Each department is required to operate within its alliances and expenditures are preportioned scientifically. Won Confidence "The North Carolina Mutual has enjoyed the confidence of the people for a long time. For twenty-five years it has handled the people's money honestly and conservatively. The company is very jealous of its reputation and the management is ever mindful of the very great responsibility that rests upon "The North Carolina Mutual death claims have averaged seven a day during this year for a total of $145,000, while $197,600 have been in sick claims. Twenty year endowments are beginning to mature. The total twenty year endowment insurance in force now is over four million dollars. The value of insurance to a person can hardly be overestimated. The payment of the first premium creates an estate of real money, which continues in force so long as the premiums are paid promptly. No The MME. E. B.

Subway Train Rolls Over Man; Still Lives NEW YORK, Dec. 18—Bert Somerall, 02, of 220 West 62d St., fell from the northbound platform of the Seventh avenue subway station at 66th street, in front of a six-car train, Wednesday. Four cars passed over him. He is still alive. A wrecking crew and Dr. Bishop of Knickerbocker Hospital were called. While the doctor and Patrolman Keogh of West 68th street station waited to extricate the remains, Somerall rolled out, got to his feet, and remarked with feeling: "I saw some nasty "scenery." He escaped death by rolling into the depression between the tracks. Dr. Bishop patched up a small cut on his head. Somerall then continued on his way to work. greater safeguard exists, all things being considered. The person without insurance is really unwise. That's the note the North Carolina Mutual is broadcasting. Its big mission is to forever and eternally carry that message to the people." Love Nest Is Bared By Pair In Argument BALTIMORE, Md., Dec. 18 — A regular love nest, where fine raiment and costly furnishings made the last Monday morning crowd at the Northwestern Police Station sit up and take notice, came to light when Jacob Costolas, white, and Miss Martha Stokes, 22, 943 Pennsylvania avenue, were hailed into court following an altercation. When unusual noises reported by other occupants of the building brought police officers they found the white man and the young woman in a much disarranged but costly furnished apartment. Testimony given by Miss Stokes revealed that jealousy on the put of Costolas brought on the altercation. Although he gave her many fine clothes and costly jewelry, he made life hard by forbidding her going out at any time or associating with others. When she took a walk with a former male friend Sunday night, Costolas' blood rose to fever heat, and when she returned he administered Italian punishment on her. In self-defense, she declared, she cut him in the chest. Miss Stokes, who is just 22, was clad in a rich fur coat and displayed expensive jewelry at the hearing. Both were fined $25 and costs, and given a warning. Remove White Babies From Negro Homes PLEASANTVILLE, N. J., Dec. 18—(A. N. P.)—An orphan's home in Atlantic City was ordered to remove two white babies found in the homes of two race families that were left by two white woman, who stated that the fathers of their babies had disappeared. The two white women, Alice Gelger and Mrs. Margaret Bowman, were ordered to pay $5 per week for maintenance of the infants. The two race families who would have probably brought the white babies up among their people made no protest when the court order was shown them. Police are seeking the fathers. FRANK&SEDER'S Sale of 2,500 Men's OVERCOATS SUITS -Hand- -High- LODGE AND FRATERNAL NOTES Are you a reader of the National Fraternal Review? If not, why not? Generally speaking, our group is bound on joining, but we are short on reading the periodicals pertaining to the orders of which we are part and parcel. We think, or most of us do, that we are necessary. We hei ourselves to some jewelry store and purchase an emblem, but fall to realize that there are principles involved that they should be able to explain if challenged. Or we are necessary. Can you do it? I doubt if you can. Why? It is because we do not have the time to devote to this life. Or it was because we are not particular about becoming conversant with its principles.

Elmore—"Last Mistake" In the Elmore next week as a special holiday feature "Last Mistake," a whirlwind musical comedy played by Benbow's "Get-Happy Company," is indeed a fitting Yuletie attraction. This veteran company of 25 stars, including Margie Cohen, Odel Irving, Harry Brooks, Strathorns, Loveless and McLain, supported by an attractive, well-trained singing and dancing chorus, will surely drive away the blues. A big midnight show on Wednesday night with a change of program will be a real riot. In McLain and Loveless you will see the greatest musical comedy team that has been played in Dixie. Their comedy is clean and of the highest grade; their songs are snappy and the latest numbers. To hear Henrietta Loveless sing "Mammy Loves Her Child," will knock one cold, says J. A.

AT THE GAYETY Every city in which it has been presented has given praise to Fred Clark's Columbia Burlesque, "Let's Go," next week's attraction at the Crystal Theatre—praise for the unending variety of the entertainment offered, for the lavish manner in which the show is staged, for the work of the principals, and for the many new ideas incorporated. The show is one of the 21 scenes is striking in originality and entertaining to the "nth" degree, and the 21 includes scenes representing virtually everywhere from the South Sea Islands to the North Pole, with a range of musical and other features equally as wide. The chorus is said to be hand-picked from the choice of Broadway's peppiest beauties, and trained in songs and dances to the limit of perfection. Fast and furious in fun is said to be the pace of the show; it is particularly marked by the presence at the head of the cast of Munny King, who, in addition to his unique line of laugh-getting with words and actions, has an able ally in his violin.

(eee: = KONG ay ssn eo NO MORE BASEBALL FOR ME," SAYS OWNER OF DETROIT STARS Occuses Foster of Unfairness in Effort to "Break" Him—Withdraws Deposit From League—Explains Player Controversy Threatens Exposures. DETROIT, Mich., Dec. 18.—Following the charges against Penny Blount, formerly owner of the Detroit Stars, who was the center of one of the biggest baseball wars of modern times at the annual meeting of the Negro National League, held in Chicago two weeks ago, the Wolverine magnate has sent out an article, answering the press release, which was sent all over the country and appeared last week. This article charged that Blount had refused to pay the salaries of his players after the 15th of September. He was also censured because he refused to comply with the schedule and play a four-game series in TWEEVE Professional TENNY "NO MORE H FOR ME," SA OF DETR Occuses Foster of U "Break" Him—Wi League—Explains Threatens Exposure (Special to The P DETROIT, Mich., Dec. 18. Tenny Blount, formerly owner the center of one of the biggest at the annual meeting of the Chicago two weeks ago, the Wo article, answering the press re country and appeared last week This article charged that laries of his players after th also censured because he refus and play a four-game series in Cleveland. Mr. Blount was given until January 1 to pay players or to present an affidavit signed by all his players that they agreed to his proposition, with the alternate of being dropped from the league. Mr. Blount's reply follows: "There are always two sides to all arguments, and in fairness to myself and the baseball fans of Detroit I am writing this article to the different newspapers. "I attended the baseball meeting in Chicago two weeks ago and after paying all indebtedness to the league, withheld theosit of securities after the thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500) from Foster with the consent and vote of the following persons present: "Ruth of Birmingham, Wilkinson of Kansas City, Lewis of Memphis, Dr. Key and Brown of St. Louis, Foster of Chicago, Blount of Detroit, Dorsey of Cleveland, Cuban Stars by proxy." "The following is in the minutes of meeting of December 4, 1924: Mr. Blount of the Detroit Stars asks the securities which he has placed on deposit with the league, valued at $2,500, representing his league deposit; he returned to him, stating that he would qualify in the time limit for the present season. On motion of Dr. Key of St. Louis, supported by Wilkinson of Kansas City, the time of the withdrawal Poster brought up the question contradicts of the Detroit players for the season of 1924. Poster stated that he had letters from several of the Detroit players asking for pay from September 16 until October 1, 1924. I stated to the members of the meeting that after finishing the last league game scheduled on September 16, that I called all members of the team under contract to me, at that time to my office. Poster was held in my office with all players present. I stated to them that Foster had been very unfair as to the booking of league games in Detroit and that I had been told on good authority that he stated he intended to break me and put me out of baseball, and as there were no more baseball games booked, he stated that date, September 16. I was through with baseball and had decided to disband my ball club and that I had already booked several games with white clubs for the balance of the season, and at that time I was negotiating with the Cleveland Indians of the American League for three-game series, which was later booked by me, but I would pay them off to date, which was done, and that I would call in my uniforms. I stated to them at that time if they cared to they could have the use of my uniforms, the use of Mack Park and if they cared, they could play the games booked already by me and after all expense, the net receipts divided between the players, that I did not have to handle one dollar of the receipts nor would I accept one dollar of the profits.

Fifty per cent going to the owner and the balance split between the players, so the Detroit players were not even on the co-operative plan, but were given the entire net receipts by me of all games played after September 16, 1924. The following players attended the meeting at my office: Petway, Daniels, Roth, Cooper, Combs, Alexander, Terrill, Pierce, Pryor, Stuart, Strickland and Williams (secretary). Every player present accepted and was glad to have the net receipts of all games given them and played baseball until near the middle of October, and all receipts of all games played were handled by Mr. Williams and the money received from games played was kept by the players. I refused to accept one dollar of the receipts. "After making this statement in the league meeting on December 4, 1924, the owners decided to let me withdraw my deposit from the league. It is stated plainly in one section of the by-laws of the league that all debts and obligations must be paid to the league before you can withdraw my deposit from the league, and had there been any doubt as to any money owed by me to any ball player I would not have been allowed to withdraw my deposit. The league has the power to withhold deposits and pay all just debts. In the discussion Mr. Lewis of Memphis, Dorsey of Cleveland and Rush of Birmingham stated that they had disbanded their clubs early in September and had done just as I had done in regards to salaries. At this discussion no correspondence from any Detroit ball players was produced by Mr. Foster. "On Friday morning, December 6, 1924, I was called to Detroit on urgent business matters and did not attend the meeting on that date. After the close of the baseball season Foster, after finding out that I had decided to quit baseball, wrote to the Detroit players and told them to send in their contracts and that he would collect the money for the balance of the season from me after I had disbanded my ball club. After I had left Chicago Foster proceeded to take the steps he took and to try to show the baseball players what he claims is due them by January 1, 1925, he would drop the Detroit Stars from the league, when, in fact, I quit baseball on September 16, 1924. Today there is not one player under contract to me to last season of 1925 and every player of last season is from foreign and can sign with club that may want their service. Mack Park, the home of the Detroit Stars, is for *nint*. My contention is this: If the Detroit players are right in their claim made by Foster, then in fairness to the Memphis, Cleveland and Birmingham clubs, after taking all receipts, those clubs are entitled to the same consideration. I will state that I was never put in jail for not paying a ball player as was done to Rube Foster. "If Foster can prove one statement fail, that is made by me in this article I am willing to deposit a certified check of five hundred dollars with any newspaper that he may name, and let Frank Young, Ira F Lewis and Al Monroe, sporting editors of the-Chicago Defender, Pittsburgh Courler and Chicago Whip, decide, and if they decide that I have misstated one fact in this article, can take the money deposit and give it to any charitable organization that they think worthy of it. I am a tax-payer in the City of Detroit, also in his home city, Chicago, and the courts in both states are open to him for redress. "Next week I will give to the baseball fans the inside dope on why 11 baseball clubs have either gone broke or withdrawn from the Negro National League, and I will also explain how the Detroit Stars lost over five thousand dollars last season, but one hundred dollars and forty cents for booking games and this money went into his pocket and not into the league treasury.

DISMUKES DIAMOND A baseball player likes his babe better than any other thing connected with baseball, with the possible exception of the first and the fifteenth of each month. If you doubt this statement, just let one know that you are the official owner of a game in which he is playing and he gets on base through some fluke and see if that player won't immediately inquire with a "blow." Another successful season has passed and the players as well as the fans are gettingting, pitching, base running and other feats which are combined to make the make the national pastime what it is. I happen to know that there is a certain circuit which obligates each club in the league to send in to the secretary of the league a complete boxing circuit which is played in their home town, for the sole purpose of having averages compiled and published each month of the league race. Let us hope that a clause will be written to the meeting of the two respective leagues rigidly enforcing the keeping a record of all averages. From the last report we got from players and clubs on the coast, Manatee and the California Winter League, are still in first place and going strong, Goodwin's Los Angeles Whitessox, and under the name of Kansas City Monarchs, are still finding it hard to win. This club is dotted with some of last season's championship players with ex-Monarchs, present and near luminaries thrown in to round out a ball club, but hardly good enough to sport the title of Kansas City Monarchs when it is considered that the Monarchs are our world champions. If this club can win over all exposition encountered on the coast, alright, well and good-Monarchs; if not—an ill effect. Encountering teams whose lineups sport such players as Chadbourne, an ex-big leaguer; Pete Schneider, a star pitcher on the Cincinnati Reds a few years back, who has made a reputation as an c THE PITTSBURGH COURIER ES TO Howard Withdrew Athletic Board of Control Decision On Account of Game and Barring Game.

The C. I. A.

DOPE fielder and slugger since going to the minors; Deal, a Boston National world series hero; Truck Hannah, a Yankee catcher; Gillespie of the Athletics, not making mention of Murphy, will make the going pretty tough. The White Sox lineup and clubs played with follows: Hawkins, first base, Kansas City; Fagen, second base, Cleveland; Moore, shortstop, Kansas City; McNair, centerfield, Kansas City; Pullin, catcher, Baltimore; Day, third base, Baltimore; Butcher, left field (unknown to writer); Foreman, right field, Homestead Grays; Carr, pitcher, Washington Potomacs; Bell, pitcher, Kansas City; Currie, pitcher, Hilldale. The baseball fans probably would welcome fewer games for the world's title the coming season. The last series, while all games were well played, lagged into the third week. Oscar Owens, star of the Home-stead Gray hurling staff, while possessing bewildering speed, could never be relied upon to turn back a real high class club on account of his wildness. But the past season Owens, having a deceptive curve ball, as good as any pitcher in the game, proved a stumbling block to the best clubs in the game. Pitching nine innings against Detroit Stars he allowed four scattered hits and no runs and against Rube Foster's American Giants he allowed no hits and no runs for the five innings he opposed them. During these fourteen innings not a batter reached first base by the base on ball route. Owens, like Rogan of the world's champion Monarchs, is played in the cutfield when not laboring on the mound on account of his timely hitting. Wheeler, another pitcher who toiled with the Grays the past season, possessing great speed, a deceptive spitter and a tantalizing curve ball, should be one of the best in the game the coming season. Wildness is his greatest handicap at present. TREATMENT. It gives quick relief. Swelling and short sores soon treat, symptoms rapidly disappear. Liver and kidneys act better.

Flowers Stops Jack Townsend In Fifth Round BY W. ROLLO WILSON PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Dec. 18— Monday night at the Arena Tiger Flowers again knocked out his man. This time it was Black Jack Townsend, of Buffalo, who essayed to tame the Georgian Jungleger and his little better than those of the two men whom Tiger manhandled in the same ring a few weeks ago. A packed house testified to the gate-pulling worth of the Deacon. Townsend was in such a bad way in the fifth round that his seconds raised the pallid pennant in the form of a water-soaked towel while the Buffalo boy was down on one knee and trying to shake the cobwebs from a wracked and disordered brain. They entered the ring with Deacon Theodore about 30 pounds lighter and appalled. Thirty pounds don't mean a thing to Tiger, a fact which he proceeded to demonstrate as soon as Joe Cervino sent them off. For three rounds Townsend imitated an elephant seeking a tempting morsel near the ground and refused to straighten up and fight. Flowers pummelled him about the head and back and bruised him considerably whenever Townsend came close quarters in a clinch. * In the fourth the Bear walked like a man. He tried to box Flowers at long range and the Tiger bored in close and ripped him fore and aft. A sliff left to the right eye drew blood and transformed Townsend's face to a burst tomato — in effect. A runaway right collided with the Georgian's jaw and he caused the impact several seconds. However, he attacked Townsend with both haymakers and had the latter hanging on at the end. The Jury of Flowers' unleashed blows in the fifth soon had Jack in right smart trouble. A right to the button and a southpaw kick in the stomach floored the collegian (q.v. Lou Jaffe, Public Ledger) and the rumpled ragged saved him a trip to the cradle of the sleep. Suspended Fighter Has Nothing to Say Kid Crutchfield, recently suspended by the Pennsylvania State Boxing Commission, when seen Monday night, refused to have anything to say on the action of the governing body. both Mr. Young and Owens to meet all comers of the state in bank pool games, which will be played each afternoon started imminently.

Several critics have publicly demanded that Wills be ed the recognition his record merits. They expressed the that Gibbons was not merely talking ed the recognition his record that Gibbons was not merely talking to hear his teeth rattle, when he stated, upon his departure for the west several days ago, that he was willing to frolic with Wills, among others, and intimated that such a bout would clear the way to Dempsey like a tank tractor. Our Mr. Rickard has been strangely silent on the question, however. There is a persistent idea along Broadway that Wills is to be kept out of the big shots as much as possible, and certainly, if Gibbons goes on to another match with Dempsey without first climbing over Wills, this belief will be ting' with a faint suggestion of 'act. A Gibbons-Wills bout would pile the customers in neat, comp- itt stacks. Further, it would provide the so-called logical contender for the championship and permit the promoter to make a single dollar grow twice in the same place, a highly desirable situation. Yet the silenceremains profound. However, teday's "demands" say mean the preface for big business ahead. The bout needs little smoke-up because Wills, regardless of indifferent performances last year, remains the most, dangerous challenge. Gibbons is a gent who may make a gib out of any man at any time.

LINCOLN UNIVERSITY, Chester County, Pa., Dec. 18.—Just about a year ago today several weekly newspapers created a real sensation when he hinted that the official statement in connection with the Howard-ninth football classic, held in Philadelphia, was mismanaged; that the rest of 13,000 was incorrect, and that the game was mismanaged in various details by those in charge. In answer to this, Dr. W. G. Alexander, graduate manager of Lincoln University, penned the following statement: Mr. Carl Murphy, care of Afro-American, Dear Mr. Murphy: Various newspapers which reported the recent Lincoln-Howard game gave estimates of attendance ranging from fifteen, thousand (15,000) to thirty-one thousand (31,000). I have not yet seen a copy of your paper, and do not know, therefore, what your estimate was. The New York World and the Washington Post both gave figures of twenty-eight thousand (28,000). A communication has just been received from Honorable Emmet W. Scott of Howard, which states that the unofficial attendance is in the neighborhood of fifteen thousand (15,000). This number includes, however, all admissions, and there must have been in this, at least, one thousand (1,000) passes, complimentaries and other free admissions, which would make a paying attendance of around fourteen thousand (14,000), or less. In the light of these facts, it does seem to me that it would be a matter of simple justice, since your paper was so conspicuous in casting reflections on the game last year and in making conspicuous the charges of dishonesty in connection therewith that you would either publish as conspicuous the last year, the same statements expressing your disdain in the attendance as indicated in the report coming from the Howard authorities, or else acknowledge that your statements of last year were incorrect. This will certainly be regarded as a personal favor to those of us who were concerned in the management of the game last I am asking this favor because all of the papers which I have seen have stated that the crowd this year was undoubtedly the largest that has ever attended one of these games, and if the real attendance was below fifteen thousand (15,000), it is evident that there was considerable misrepresentation and injustice done with regard to the game last year. I think we can accept the figures as given out this year as being absolutely correct, because they were made from a turntable. One can very readily see that the facts we now have in hand show that few people are able to estimate the numbers in a crowd. It was perhaps a peculiar coincidence, that during the game Mr. Clark of the Washington Tribune, Mr. Nunn of The Courier and myself were standing on the sidelines together. I asked Mr. Clark his opinion of the number of people present. Without hesitation he said not less than twenty-five thousand (25,000). I said to him that my estimate was fifteen thousand (15,000) as a maximum and one thousand (1,000) less than this as a minimum. Mr. Nunn concurred in my opinion, and should you note that The Courier is the only paper that has estimate as low as fifteen (15,000). In our final accounting last year we figured out more than thirty thousand (13,000) paid admissions. There was at that game there was in Washington this year, at Ileana and (13,000) who were admitted on passes upon complimentaries, I think a fair analysis of the facts will, therefore, indicate that comparatively few people entered the park last year with- pausing for admission. The following clubs have amateur interball teams and no place to play: Saratoga, N. S. Scholastics, Y. Cross, Homewood Civics, Sewaldy Y. M. C. A., Spartans and Legan Community. The Pittsburgh Courier is working out a plan which will permit these teams to play each other forming a league which will include the above named teams as well as Y. M. C. A., Spartans from Britain and Clark Memorials of Ireland. The Saratoga Club, Holy Cross, Iron Community, Sewickley W. M. C. A., Homewood Civics and Clark Memorials are anxious for this league. The Pittsburgh Courier is of the opinion that the manager of Y. M. C. A. and the North Side Scholastics would also favor this league. Letters have been sent to all of the managers to meet at the Pittsburgh Courier office; also to Mr. Morsell, secretary of the Y. M. C. A., to work out a plan for this league, which will be for amateurs only and will be sponsored by the Pittsburgh Courier, not only by giving space to all the games, but to aid in operating the league and donating a huge emblem to be given the winning team each season.

Famous 18-Piece Orch Pittsburgh Fighter May Tachle Flowers KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Dec. 18. —Homer Robertson, middle-weight fighter of Pittsburgh, may be matched with Tiger Flowers of Atlanta in an eight-round fight at the Bijou theater soon, under the auspices of the American Legion. The promoters plan to match Robertson with Dynamite Dan of Chattanooga, as a test match. If he wins, then he will get a chance at Flowers. Robertson recently knocked out Black Jack Williams of Knoxville. Wheeling Is No Match For Leondi Tank Playing against one of the few teams which had handed them an unpleasant surprise package last season, the fast Leoni quintet scored sweet revenge last Thursday evening at Labor Temple, when they scored a 60-18 triumph over the Wheeling K. of C's before a small, but enthusiastic crowd. The playing of the Leoni team indicates a world of strength and reserve power, and their easy triumphs over all opponents to date, augurs ill for the stronger team they will meet later on in the season. "Speaks" Moton, of New York fame, with 6 field goals, led the processing process while Johnson, Young and Jones aided materially in running up the large score. Snyder, with four field goals, led the scoring for the visitors. The score: Leoni—60 W. K. of C's—18 Moton F.... Oakhill Shelton F.... Snyder Johnson C.... Parris Betts G.... Dalia Young G....

Omega Psi Phi trampled Phi Beta Sigma in one of the most hot contested games ever played on the local floor, by the score of 11 to 9. Captain Stewart of Phi Beta Sigma was the outstanding star of the game, also high point man for his team, with two field goals, and two free throws to his credit. Singleton was the individual star for Omega, with two field baskets and two free throws to his credit. All attention now centers on the great clash between Kappa Alpha Psi and Omega Psi Phi, old time rivals, to be played on Saturday night, December 20. Saratogas And 'Y To Clash Friday The Y. M. G. A.

THE PITTSBURGH COUNIER Eastern Snapshots By W. Rello Wilcon THIS JULY THE SAGA OF TIGER FLOWERS, the hard-slugging terror from the sandy reaches of Georgia. We make it unanimous among writers of sport when we say that, he is the biggest sensation in the American prize ring today. Not even Jack, the Dempsey, is getting the publicity which is coming the Deconon's way. And why? Because he is a two-fisted killer, who scorns no odds as being too great. He is another Tham Langford in that he cares not how big they come. What is a little matter of thirty-forty or fifty pounds handicap to him? Nothing, Mr. Shean. Tuesday night in the Garden, Theodore got his big shot and now he is the most sought after fighter (by promoters) in the game. He is also the most dodged fighter (by prospective opponents) in the game. Even our distinguished fighter (by prospective opponents) that he is THE CARD! Hearken to Harry, Greb, who is reported to have refused a $50,000 guarantee from Jimmy Johnston to fight Flowers at an early ballyday show in Gotham: "He is the toughest man I ever fought. Out there in Ohio he swarmed all over me and I never saw so much leather in all my life. No, sir. I don't want any more of the Tiger's game and he won't have a chance to win my title unless some promoter takes the elastic totally off the bankroll." In the absence of any printed or spoken word on the subject from him we are willing to believe that Johnny Wilson, the ex-hoss of the middleweights, feels the same. John wanted another crack at Tiger in Boston next month, but suddenly decided he would need a year or two to get ready, so cancelled. Wilson never before in life took the fierce mauling Flowers meted out to him within the Garden walls. He tried to slug with the Black Lily in the first act, but soon got enough of that. From then on he was always on the defensive and always on the retreat. When Referee Purdy stopped, the affair it had ceased to be a contest. Wilson had less aggressiveness than a six-dollar punching bag. We hate to see Tiger go out of his class to fight the man-mountains. Such tactics will "get" him in time and we think that Walk Miller should give pause ere he kills the provider of the golden eggs. Flowers will be the next champion if or when given the chance and he should be protected for the future. NEWS DISPATCHES SAY THAT THE BASEBALL magnates considered ways to reduce salaries. Now what we want the smart-alek players to do is to laugh off the statement we made some months, and again some weeks, since that such a condition would obtain. We also said that the "stare" need not look towards the Homestead Grays as a port in the time of storms. In support of our claim is a letter from Cumberland Posey, himself, saying that a prominent Eastern Leaguer (name given) wanted to sign up with him for next year and requested an "advance" to tide him over. Cum will string along with the organizations and cut down HIS payroll. Yes, Cum is crazy—like a fox. BATTLING BUDD IS ANOTHER BOY who looks like a championship possibility to Walk Miller. Budd is 24 and has been boxing since he was 16. He won two victories over Young Stribling, they say, in six different bouts with that youth when he was a welterweight. Among others of his victims are Eddie Hanlon, Red McLaughlin, Ray Kirke, K. O. Jeakle, Ponce de Leon (Heavens above!), Lucky Tanner, Cole Miller and Jimmy Conway. LEO PATTERSON. A. E. F. LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPION, is another boxer who is trying to come back and is located in Philly for the attempt. He wants to fight Johnny Mosely of the Shore. MARIANAO, THE ONLY ALL-WHITE TEAM in the Cuban League, seems to get no place very rapidly in spite of the galaxy of American Association stars in its lineup. Special Representative King Tut Lloyd writes us singing the praises of Oscar Charleston, Richard de Lundy and others. Charleston came through in a pinch against Santa Clara and won a game in the ninth. With the score, the team was on top. Florida finished over second and broke it up, S. C. stepped three in a row and Mique Gonzales' Havana Reds have tied them for second place. Lundy is playing the game of his life. Bullet Rogan has joined Almendares and Red Ryan is on the island, but had not hooked up with any outfit when our letter was mailed. Eddie, the Douglass, has joined Havana and Catcher Jim Brown of the American Giants is with Santa Clara. THE COLUMBUS, OHIO, LUENDIS are planning an Eastern tour and write the Column to broadcast that they want games in Harrisburg, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington. Anyone interested should write to E. Daubert, 615 Franklin avenue, Columbus. We would advise Mr. Daubert to write to Gerald Allen, 806 Wylie avenue, Pittsburgh, who might be in a position to give him a game in that city. THE DUMBBELLS WHO SAY THAT KID NORFOLK "laid down" to Sir Thomas Gibbons were not present at their party the other night. There were just two reasons why Gibbons won—Norfolk has gone back and Tom is one of the cleverest men in the ring. Norfolk took a sure-enough licking for three rounds and was willing to continue. But he had been blinded by the St. Paul筛 and systematically cut to ribbons. Stopping the daughter was the only humane thing to do. At that, the crowd voiced its approval of Wilkie Ward for the game fight he made against a superior foe. The ovation he got when he left the ring must have been some balm for his aides and pain. A whole flock of dollars was lost on the Kid, but the old gentleman who we have nicknamed Nature, always takes his pay. Norfolk has passed into the night and his was no craven retreat, but the desperate efforts of one who succumbed only to the might and craft of a better man. We feel that Gibbons deserves very high rating for overcoming Norfolk at this stage of the latter's career. In fact, we are of the opinion that the Norfolk who fought Siki would have stayed the limit and beaten Tom. But well never know. What drew 14,000 fans to the Garden? Was it Tiger Flowers? Would they have been there for a Gibbons-Wilson and a Norfolk-Flowers seto? Absolutely not. They came to see mixed bouts between high-class boxers and what they saw pleased them. Negro battlers were never in such high favor as now. Witness their drawing powers in our own Philly. The boys who can punch are in for a wad of the national currency. Two of them are being carefully avoided by champions. Others are rapidly climbing the heights. It would seem that the Jack Johnson bugaboo has at last been laid away in naphthalene flakes. Even the anties of the Simple Siki are passed over without extra mention nowadays. The raucous cries to "get that shine" emulate only from college rooters and not from the hoi-pollio who attend boxing matches. In the square circle a man is now measured only by his ability to give and take and the greater his skill the greater his popularity with the fans. This is as it should be and we are content. Incidentally, we feel somewhat honored because most metropolitan writers frequently referred to Norfolk as "the Keed." We first gave that expression of Siki's to the wide, wide world. Scribes Picking 'Em Forget Lee of Lincoln Several would-be football authorities, having seen two of the big college teams play, have become all sold on the proposition of selecting an All-American or an All-Association football team. That's all well and good. But a selection reached the editor's desk last week, in which two writers had failed to even mention Tom Lee, the Lincoln halfback, on any of three teams. How come? A compilation of facts and figures will show that while Byrd got away for long runs in practically every game, Lee was the most consistent gainer on the team.

Kentucky Girls "5" Preparing to Play FRANKFORT, Ky., Dec. 17. —The Kentucky girl's quintet, champions of last year, are ready for a peppy scholastic basketball season. Under the tutelage of Irving S. Hamer the orange and green squad donned basketball togs a little over three weeks ago, and have undergone stiff work-outs daily until they have been shaped into their usual brilliant form. The most promising material is Francis Leavell, Rosa Norris and Vivian "Tootsie" Moorman, captain of last year's team. A tentative net schedule is being arranged with the strongest quintets of the west and the annual n't classic with Wilberforce will be the main feature of the season. NEW MENTOR TO TAKE PLACE OF MORRISON, CHARLEY WEST TO AID School Adopts Principle of American Athletics Association to Make Coach a Member of the Faculty. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 18. At its meeting last Thursday night, the board of athletic control of Howard University elected Louis L. Watson, director of the department of physical education, as football coach to succeed Dr. W. E. Morrison, whose one-year contract has expired. The contract between Mr. Watson and the board of athletic control is for a period of three years. It is subject to approval by the executive committee of the board of trustees, but this will be done as a matter of course. The consideration involved was not made public, but it is understood that Mr. Watson will receive a substantial increase in Musical Fund Hall Basketball Dec. 26 Friday Eve.

Ballots for, Vote obtained at Door with paid admission. Triumph for Watson This action of the board of athletic control of the college, Triumph for Watson. He served as football coach in 1923. The Lincoln-Howard football game that year ended in a 6 to 6 tie. The gambling element, of which the school authorities have taken cognizance, was not satisfied with this result. The college fraternities, with which Morrison was, a favorite, threw the full weight of their influence against the retention of Watson. As a result of combined opposition, the effect he was released, Morrison, who had coached in 1920, 1921 and 1922, was recalled. The immediate reason for the failure of the board of athletic control to renew its contract with Morrison is the poor showing of the Howard University football team in the game with Lincoln University last Thanksgiving Day. Howard was overwhelmingly defeated by the score of 31 to 0. This was the most humiliating defeat of any Howard eleven in the history of the annual struggle. Morrison was regarded as a great coach. Morrison came to Howard as a coach in 1920. That year Howard defeated Lincoln by the score of 4 to 0. But he was never able afterward to send a team against Lincoln that returned victorious. His team lost in 1921 and 1922 by score of 7 to 13 and 12 to 13, respectively. The failure of Morrison is due largely to his system. He instilled fear into his players. An error of omission or commission generally resulted in the player being taken out of the game and manhandled by the coach, either on the field or in the gymnasium. He "pointed" for but one game—the annual clash with Lincoln. He kept his plays under cover until then. He was the generalissimo. He ran the team from the sidelines. The quarterback was a mere automaton, whose duty was to bark out signals to Morrison and get his approval before putting a play into execution. This system failed to produce a great Howard eleven. Morrison's football strategy failed him at the crucial moment.

The consideration involved understood that Mr. Watson will Watson is a Howard graduate of 1917. He was a captain in the army during the World War. He gained his football experience at Springfield College, Springfield, Mass., where he played in 1919 and 1920. He was an end and half back. He was also a member of the track team and did not lose a race in his two-year membership. In the fall of 1921 Watson became coach at the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute, Petersburg, Va. He had great success and attracted the attention of the then University in January 1923, he came to Howard as football coach under a one-year contract. At the expiration of this contract he was retained as director of the department of physical education. Mr. Watson had no statement to make upon his selection. He emphasized, however, that "it was not at my solicitation, but the board after weighing all matters decided to make the change." He has under consideration the question of assistants. Among those mentioned are Mr. Watson, who was born in 1928, and Charley West, the Washington and Jefferson football star, who is now a student in the medical school of Howard University. The statement issued by Dr. E. P. Davis, president of the board of athletic control, stated that "Mr. Louis L. Watson was by unanimous vote of the board of athletic control nominated to be head coach in football for the next three years, 1925, 1935 and 1927. Professor Watson charged in addition to his assistant duties with such assistance as is necessary. He will be given all the help essential to the best interests of the sport.

Shaderick Fields, Proprietor DRTEEN Dr. Corrothe Brother Past NEWARK, N. J., Dec. 18—The Church Baptist Temple, on Hudson Street, celebrated Red Letter Day on Sunday. There was great reeling when they celebrated the occasion of their new church home. Just a little more than 18 months to the Pilgrim Forum was formed. The Roosevelt Memorial Temple, only church that would give faith to the deposed minister and faithful followers. Despite the tide of displeasure of the Dr. S. J. Corothers threw open wide the doors of the spacious temple and welcomed Dr. Ricks on his pilgrim travelers. Many of the officers of the Temple were very much displeased at the action taken by their minister, in permitting Dr. Ricks to hold services in the Temple. Dr. Corothers stated in an interview that he firmly believed it was a plan to kill all of the prestige gained by Rev. Ricks while in the state, and that he was determined to see that this prestige would not fall. Ricks congregation has raised $120,000 and have paid a substantial sum on purchasing one of the best churches owned by our group. Thus proving the superior leadership of Dr. Edgar E. Ricks. Sunday the Rev. Dr. Corothers delivered the sermon of the day and more than $250.00 was raised and 12 new members were added to the Jorge number visited Canton and Delumbus Sunday.

Buildings in Orange Swept By Fire As Families Flee Into Early Morning Cold. ORANGE, N. J., Dec. 18—St. Paul's African Methodist Church in south street, Orange, was the starting point of a fire which early Monday morning drove dozens of families into the bitter cold, caused ice-sheathed firemen from Orange and East Orange to battle desperately as the wind showered the neighborhood with embers, and ended only with the ruin of half a dozen buildings at an estimated loss $50,000. Heroic rescue work was done by persons who raced with the flames to rout sleeping families in the path of the fire. Almost all of the families were orphaned, and panic threatened as men, women and children poured into the street bearing treasured household goods, hastily assembled. The damaged area was within Hill street, Oakwood avenue and Kenilworth place, but threatened at times to spread through adjoining blocks. The church, the home of Samuel Goode, at 113 South street, and the two-family house at No. 111 were destroyed.

C., Dec. 18 Mr. and Mrs. L. L. Watson, of 603 L street, southeast, were pres- ented with a baby girl on Thanksgiving morning. Mr. Watson was the first person in the department of Physical Education of Howard University. The doctor reports that mother and baby are doing fine. ing that the presence of this dutiful officer, with a splendid record in the police department and in the city, was an outrage. I want to tell you with all the emphasis at my com- mand that the outrage was your un- seemly conduct and not the presence this officer who even our white president conceded with wise dis- cension and cultured use of authority. Immediately one gallant knight from the enlightened state of South Carolina, where men exult in such feats as burning human beings and sovereigns as souvenirs the charred bones of the honourable bodies, rushed a police to the police department against-sending a Negro goer to suppress infractions against the public peace by "cultured" white ladies, without a word of hawiness that made police interference necessary. FINE SENSIBILITY. I am forced to state that the Negro officers are the most intelligent, discreet, and dutiful on the police force. The cruel discrimination that exists in America forces superior Negroes into callings that no white man can accept, we find we a far, superior grade of public servant in the Negro officer. Yet you object to his presence to make you obey the laws of your own making. You did not object to his care and honorable solicitude when he was alone with you, but when he was off to war to wreck this nation and fix the curse of slavery on this land forever. Nor did you in the World war object to his staying the German hords in France and Flanders Field while Southern boys were dodging the draft and being made of all proportion to their percentage of the population. You do not object to his presence in the criminal peon camp and in your mills at starvation wage for your selfish profit. No, it is the old repel spirit that the awful arrogant one of us had to endure that there shall be a master and slave class in America, and that no Negro shall be anything but a humble servant, who shall submerge himself in service to you. All you have ever offered him is a Mammy Statue, not in gratitude for ten generations of service, and that no Negro should be an eloquent advocate of your heightened, tenth-century conception of an ideal commonwealth.

Washington NEW YORK, Dec. 18—Two recent gifts to the cause of Negro education have served to recall the pioneer career of probably the greatest leader that the American Negro has yet produced. The-school he started 43 years ago in a one-room shanty was given recognition several months ago by the General Education Board of the Rockefeller Foundation, which gave $500,000, an new endowment fund. On top of the General Education Board's action came the announcement last week that George Eastman, head of the Eastman Kodak Company, in making gifts of $15,000,000 to four educational institutions, had offered $1,000,000 to the present outgrowth of that one-room shanty. In 1881 Booker T. Washington ingrained the idea that he remained as principal for thirty-four years, until his death in 1915. The school was started by Washington in a one-room shanty with fifteen pupils. Today it has an enrollment of 1748. Washington founded Tuskegee upon the principles he had learned at Hampton. He made its primary purpose the training of selected Negro youth of both sexes to be leaders and teachers of their race. Washington lived to see thousands of such young men and women go out from Tuskegee and, by their example and teaching, prove mighty actors in uplifting the economic and social status of their race. It was in recognition of the importance of Tuskegee and its sister school, Hampton, in American educational life, that the General Education Board purchased $1,000,000 and $15,000,000 endowment fund for the institutes. George Eastman, in giving $2,000,000 to Hampton and Tuskegee, the largest single sum ever offered to the cause of Negro education, said that, in his opinion, the only hope the institution would obtain in America lay in an extension of the Hampton-Tuskegee type of education.

Donora Minister Will Act Against Police Officers Rev. Simms of Donora is not pastor of an A. M. E. church as recently stated, but pastors the Mt. Olive Baptist Church of Monessam: This rumor has caused much talk among the church people of this vicinity and some action is expected soon. Rev. Dr. R. A. Simms, alias Charles Jones, is the center of a big sensation here. According to the Donora Evening Herald, Rev. Simms fell into the clutches of the law after he had spied on the priest in the Wireton district. According to the Monesson police, they first learned on the pastor's presence about three o'clock in the morning, when he called a constable, claiming that he had been robbed. When informed that he could be arrested for the arrest of the party, he refused, but later again called the police with a tale of a daring robbery. Investigation, it is alleged, proved the man visibly under the influence of liquor. After he had denied the robbery story, he was arrested and re-pledged to place a $15.00 forfeit for a hearing. He failed to appear and the money was forfeited.

Dec. 18—Dr. John Hope, president of Morehouse, College, Atlanta, Ga., 'told members of the Monday Lunchroom Club here today that their way of thinking to a large extent is all wrong: "The Negro must learn to change his present manner of thinking before he can hope to reach his much sought after goal, his friends rather than his friends rather of what he has, thereby letting go from his grasp that which he has while he chases after that which he does stated that the Negro in this country today has far more than any other Negro in all of the other countries combined and that they held the key to their own salvation brothers if they would only use it. He told of an incident which happened in England last spring. He spoke at a club of native Africans in London and at the end of his speech he was asked several questions which seemed to have devolved into a fight. Finally one native said: "You American Negroes have the best of all of us, you have in America a citizenship, no matter 'ow jugged, still a citizenship, while we are subjects." Dr. Hope said that we as a race should hold tight to what is left of our citizenship and that we would eventually attain all that citizenship entitles us. Hon. C. R. Blake, Imperial Potentate of the Shriners, Charlotte, N. C., also spoke at the Euniceon Club. He told of the progress of the Negro in the State of North Carolina, especially that progress now being made by the Negro in New York soon as the Negro, said Mr. Blake, "learn t. lesson which has been so successfully learned in Charlotte and in N. t. Carolina, that they must bow to real leadership in anything, regardless of their petty personal likes and dislikes, just so soon will Negroes everywhere become more business and industrial lines." Mr. Blake thinks that the Negro must put a bit more trust in real organizers and less in the fly-by-nights" who would do them more injury than good. Dr. Hope was introduced by Atticus Halley on Mr. Blake by Mr. C. E. Dawson. The Rev. Herod responded to the visiting speakers on behalf of the club. Mr. Wallace Vaugh, a member of the Luncheon Club suggested that inasmuch as the club has been holding its meetings in the Y. M. C. A. building it would be proper and fitting if the club members donated several membership to young boys to the "Y" as Christmas gifts. This met a hearty approval and the donation was made, insuring membership to several young boys for the coming year.

Why do you people in the South insist on foisting your beliefs upon everybody else? Don't you give anybody else, credit for knowing anything besides yourself. Are you afraid of your own life? You can't as if you were not 'sure of your own ground.' "No, sir—No, sir. Not where the Negro comes into the discussion. They're no good. Never were 'any good—and never will be any good." "If I remember history at all they were very good when the plantation, the slave plantation, keep them slaves, and they remained behind caring for the families and farms of those who were fighting to hold them in bondage—It strikes me that is a pretty good sign of a man who is not afraid. The economic cant show anything any better than that. Besides, though you may not admit it, the Negro is the bone and sinew of your financial and economic structure. The South lives it."

"You tell that stuff to the Marines," Dr. Tansley continued. "I think the white race all over the world has been too easily gulled by the blacks. I don't know of the blacks I've come into contact with have been at least on par with the whites, and better than many of those we welcome from European countries. No, captain. Thank you for your advice. Prudently, it is well given, but just the same it's the white race, and it's time the white race got on its job. You people are blessed and don't know it." "Just the same, you'd better mind your own business and keep mum on the Negro question, if you want to stay here." He took-the-wheel again; as if to end the conversation. Dr. Tansey and Bennet left the pilot house for the deck below and stood at the rail as the ship passed Fort Sumter, lapped against the wall, and barred. As the ship rounded up to her pier, from the wharves of cotton bales, barrels of resin, and other products waiting to be shipped North, there rose, seemingly a small battalion of Negro stevedores and rostautbouts, shouting, laughing, singing and dancing with the hawks that would moor the ship so they could begin their task of unloading and reloading the vessel. At the passenger gangplank stood a dozen or more boys of all shades, hands covered with white gloves, ready to step aboard ship and assist the passengers in debarking and departing from the ship. Dr. Tansey and Bennet stood at the rail watching the scene. Bennet, unaccustomed to the sight of so Okeh Records JUST OUT Don't send any money.

The money must be provided, if the men are to receive the raise. : 3 : Many of us note with some interest the proposal to place DAditional postage on newspapers. This suggestion carries the additional one that letters are to remain as they are. Those who are charged with the duty of “finding the money” are quite sure that increased'postal rates is the only source of revenue for the postal employes. But there are others who do not share this view. During the war we used a three cent stamp for letters without kicking. Are we opposed to doing for ourselves in times of peacawhat we do for others in time of war? ith The empl should have something to suggest. They placed their plea'before the country and asked for public en- darsément of their position. The newspapers of the country gatried the plea with editorial comment in support of the raise if the newspapers are to be taxed to supply the raise, it seems ike visiting retribution on the newspapers. It is known that the Hewspapers are charged quite enough postage now.
