Leaping, hungry flames, which illuminated the entire campus of the Virginia Union University, abou 3 o'clock Thursday morning, caused nearly $5,000 damages, by burning the roof and top floor or the north end of beautiful Pickford Hall, the administration building of the institution. It is believed by some of the officials that a short circuit in the electric wires was the cause of the conflagration. As few students reside in Pickford, none was injured, and their valuables saved, but one fireman received an injury to his arm while fighting the flames, Pickford Hall, in its entirety, where in the business offices and main class rooms are located was threatened by the fire and only a gallant fight by the fire squadrons which came helter-skelter from all parts of the city and the assistance of students and faculty saved the building and eliminated the possibility of terrific explosions if the flames penetrated one floor deeper to the extensive chemical laboratories. The rooms in this department contained some of the highest explosives. Leigh St., was entered by ythieves Sun night and jewelry fountain pens and drugs valued at $150.00 stolen.

A student is said to have discovered a huge column of smoke curling from the roof of Pickford Han shortly before three o'clock and roused the University residents by changing out the fire alarm with the historic South Chapel Bell. A hurried telephone call summoned the fire departments, but ere they arrived the smoke had burst into licking, leaping flames which reddened the sky. Before the fire could be checked, the entire roof of the North end of the building was demolished. Practically the entire student body and faculty rushed to the scene and assisted in whatever way possible; some carrying the precious records to a safe place, others assisting the firemen and some helping to remove furniture and other property from the burning edifice. People from blocks around were attracted by and came hurrying to the scene of the conflagration. Professor Russell, Superintendent of Grounds of the University, when interviewed by a Planet reporter, stated that the financial damage would probably be under $5,000. DR.

NASHVILLE, Tenn., April 16—The National Youth convention held by the American Federation of Negro Students came to a successful close here last week following a four day session. The sessions were held in the heart of the city at Clark Memorial M. E. Church. Virtually every section of the country was represented. With the slogan that a race is no "Deader than its youth, and no more Alive." Youths represent leading Negro educational institutions were sent as delegates. Among the larger college, and universities represented were: Atlanta, University Atlanta, Ga.; Lincoln University, Lincoln, Pa.; Mehary Medical College, Nashville, Tenn.; West Virginia College Institute, Institute, W. Va.; University of Chicago, Chicago, Ill.; University of Illinois, Northwestern University, Armour Institute of Technology, were among the Illinois institutions of learning represented by the Chicago Intercollegiate Society. The sessions of the meetings were given over quite entirely to the consideration of a practical program. The convention pledged itself anew to the carrying out of a vigorous drive to encourage the youth of the race to prepare for the great field of business. TO SPREAD INSPIRATION AMONG YOUTH Many of the educational institutions of the country will be federated with the Youth Movement during the ensuing year. One of the tenents of the movement—Unite the Race Through Youth—will herein be crystallized into a reality. All the delegates dedicated themselves to warring upon the indifence of youth wherever it is encountered throughout the country.

INSTALLMENT NO. 4. (Established by American Federation of Negro Students.—Distributed by Preston News Service.) The Negro Youth Movement known as the American Federation of Negro Students in obtaining distinguished persons to aid in naming "The Big Ten," was ably assisted by Dr. Gilbert Haven Jones, dean, and vice-president of Wilberforce University. Eminently fitted for the task, Dr. Jones is a man of rare and outstanding qualifications and achievement. Much of the meteoric rise of Wilberforce University to position of prominence in the educational world is due to his uniting zeal and progressive spirit. As an expert in education Dr. Jones has enlarged and modernized the work of the college bringing in the best teachers, the latest methods and the most recent text-books. Through his efforts the college recently adopted the quarter system, a late arrival in educational procedure and administration. He possesses a literary training that for extensiveness is rarely round among men anywhere. Certainly it is equated by no other American Negro re holds five College Degrees, all received or work done in residence study. A. B., Wilberforce University; B. S. Ohio State University; Ph.

Dr. Jones spent nearly three years abroad in study, matriculating in the universities at Goettingen, Berlin, Leipzig Heid elberg and Jena Apart from his work in education, Dr. Jones is a specialist in psychology, particularly, psychiatry which deals with abnormal mind in both its healthy and diseased phases. As a student of Psychiatry his studies took him into abnormal Psychology, Psychology of Hypnosis and Criminal and Legal Psychology. As a writer, he has a book, (Inaugural Dissertation) in Philosophy, (in German) one on Education and one one General Psychology. Besides these many pamphlets and articles in magazines in his chosen field. At a recent meeting of the Sanhedrin in Chicago he was placed at the head of the Educational Commission and wrote up the educational policy for the Sanhedrin. The Educational Commission voted to make a survey of Negro education in the United States. edit and publish its findings as a monogram on Negro education. Dr. Jones was asked to head that movement and be the editor-in-chief of the Monogram. In this selection and comments on "The Big Ten" Dr. Jones goes on to say, "Any attempt to select men in any field carries with it so much of the personal element and files so boldly in the face of the opinions and prejudices of others that such an undertaking is to me, difficult and at the same time hardly of great value. I remember reading H. G. Wells' selection on the six greatest men in history, and some of the fine points he brought out as given by Bruce Baron. Afer hearing Wells' reasons of his selection, everyone would have great respect for his judgment, though one might differ from him as to his selections. Of course, it would take a very long article to justify my selection of each one of the ten of the persons selected. In making my selection I have tried to feel that the general recognition of worth has been the basis for judgment. The man who does something in such a way as to attract the attention of the general press and the public platform to the greatest extent because of that something is for humanity, is to me the greatest man in that particular field. I have tried to bring into my judgment the person's achievement and its worth to society as the estimate of his greatness. There are many names worthy of mention, but who had to be omitted because restricted to ten. There are some whose claim to greatness is based upon the opinion of restricted groups. These of course, in the general summary, had to be omitted. "This, in brief, is the basis of my judgment. I present it after careful consideration from all angles. I have tried to keep out of it all efforts at propaganda or selfish aims. I realize that I am risking my reputation as a safe and sane judge in this matter and that my capacity to look a situation squarely in the face, and TWO (Presten News Service) without fear or favor give my unblas- ed judgment will be seriously question ed bysome.

"In field of poetry our bards have 'carried on' so nobly that one should have a place on the roll of honor. There are many distinguished persons among them. James Weldon Johnson, Leslie Pinkney, Hill, Langston Hughes and Contee P. Cullen of our own day, who have evinced such rare taste, singular style, thoughtful theme and withal poetic charm; have in a marked degree impressed the poetic world with their songs. "It is seriously questioned, however, that any of these can be matched with the philosophic, unique and original Paul Laurence Dunbar. Better than any other creature in history the genius of this great poet has immortalized his own race in America. The wide spread of popularity of his work and the true humorous as well as solid ring of his peerless talent in innately picturing our ante bellum and immediate postbellum dialect gained in three century episode of the race easily picks him out as one of the Ten Greatest Negroes of our country." Dunbar, although a poet was essentlally a fighter. He fought for self, for fame, and to show the possibility of unadulterated Negro blood. THE RACE NEEDS FIGHTERS Here we consider those whose ambition and privilege it was to defend the honor of their country and its traditions. In this field Crispus Attucks and Charles Young are our chief exponents of soldiery and patriotism. In comparing these two bright persons, one comes into full consideration of the question as to the number of acts one must do to be called great. Lack of information on Attuck's life prior to his memorable fall on the Boston Commons shedding the first drop of blood for American liberty in our war for independence, makes a judgment difficult. In the case of the late Charles Young there is a striking contrast and yet a close similarity. In Colonel Young's acts there was the constant use of the will, purpose, fighting and struggling for the opportunity to be patriotic. Contrawise, Crispus Attucks' great act occurred up on the heels of the moment and in liberal Massachusetts. Col. Charles Young fought his way through the highest military institution of the new world to the highest military position of any of any member of the race. No attempt can be made to insinuate that Crispus Attucks would not have been equal to the task, but rather to say that Young's life is a long story of recorded facts, while Attucks, truly heroic figure, furnishes a theme initiating much conjecture. They are both similar in that they were both patrols, both dying in harm, voluntarily in the service of our country. Col. Young like the great soiler he was however, fought the hard or battle subdued his will to the unfair and unjust dictates of his government. He was a great character, and is justly named as a member of the mythical ten. He is a cause for pride and worthy of emulation by the youths of color in America. Indeed, there are eight great Negroes who have produced in America. WANTED—At Hot Springs, Va., maid for cooking and a little general house work. Must be a good plain cook and neat.

(Preston News Service) ORATORICAL EFFORTS, seldom equalled either in logic or euphony, have just been made in the U. S. Senate and the U. S. House of Representatives over bills S. 2576 and H. R. 7995, respectively, "to restrict the entrance of aliens into the United States," etc. The California statesmen, of course, into whose territory the shrewd Japanese obtained such a firm foothold, have been specifically eloquent in their efforts to put over the "selective and restrictive immigration plan." Said Congressman Free, of Sunny California, "The Japanese got control of many crops in California, as the following figures will show: Celery, 80 to 85 per cent; berries, 90 to 95 per cent; asparagus, 70 to 75 per cent; cantaloupes, 65 to 70 per cent; onions, 80 to 85 per cent; tomatoes, 75 to 80 per cent; florists' products, 72 per cent; seeds, 52 per cent; sugar beets, 45 per cent; mixed vegetables, 90 to 95 per cent; grapes, 25 to 30 per cent; rice, 25 per cent; potatoes, 20 per cent; beans, 15 per cent; cotton 15 per cent; and fruits, 12 per cent." To make matters worse, the Congressman showed that now the thrifty Japs "control 28 per cent of the fish catch of California waters," and that "of the colored races the Japanese are the most progressive." (We judge, too, that they are more progressive than some of the white races.) Pursuing the color and racial phases of the immigration, problem the debate wandered away from the "Nordics" (of whom the Ku-Klux-Klan is presumed to be largely composed) to the Negroes who are migrating North, East, and West (but not South); and one thoughtful Congressman was frank enough to warn the Solid South that its loss of Negro labor was some one's else gain. Health charts, crime charts, birth charts, and the like were put in evidence as documentary proofs of the conclusions of the various debaters, and after vibrant sounds of eloquent voices had subsided and the manuscripts of many a lengthy speech were again entrusted to the files, it was the consensus of opinion, in both Houses of Congress, that AMERICA WAS FOR AMERICANS, and that "Native-Borns" should have the call over "foreign-borns." To thoughtful ones of the BRETHREN, however, toiling upward with the unseen balls and chains of prejudice around their ankles, three facts stand eminently clear in a summerization of the Congressional arguments: (1) Any sort of a competition by colorful people with the productions of white Americans is a signal for careful scrutiny and an attempt at subsequent control; (2) When you can produce something that the other fellow needs in his business, you can nearly always effect an equitable compromise with him; and (3) Negro labor, a wonderful producer, but severely hampered in its fight for greater industrial freedom, is indeed benefited by a restricted supply of foreign labor. It is to be regretted that Negro organizations were dilatory in swinging their influence in favor of restricted Immigration, and that Negro constituents have not urged their Congressmen to vote in favor of this legislation; for, if it fails to pass, Negro labor will be forced back ten years in its industrial march, in that employers who don't care a picayune about the doctrine of AMERICA FOR AMERICANS will jump at an opportunity of employing cheap foreign labor, and, you know, it's just as easy to fire as it is to hire. WHA' D'YE GOIN' T'DO 'BOUT IT? A NEGRO STUDENT at Columbia University, New York City, the Alma Mater of many a colored man, who, within its walls and amid its atmosphere, surcharged with knowledge, has prepared himself for a larger life and a greater service, is said to have received a note of warning against his rooming location, the same being near to the college domicile of other students (white), some of whom are probably from Dixieland. The note is said to close with this sentence: "To a real white man, the presence of a Negro—the touch of one—is absolutely REPULSIVE." We regret to observe the tone of the sentence, because its sentiments are entirely out of keeping with the creed of Columbia University. Far more than this, however, we regret that, to our deep sorrow, history in the Solid South entirely dispels the truth of the sentence, in a manner far more prejudicial to us than at Columbia University. Here is our argument: In Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Louisiana, North Carolina, Texas, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, Mississippi, Arkansas, Florida, Maryland, and Pennsylvania, States having a Negro population of more than 100,000, in 1920, mulattoes increased during the 30-year period, 1890 to 1920, 47.3 per cent. In Florida, they increased, during the period named, 115.4 per cent; Georgia 98.8 per cent; Texas, 73.1 per cent; North Carolina, 62.5 per cent; South Carolina, 73.4 per cent; Arkansas, 55.4 per cent; Mississippi, 43.4 per cent; Alabama, 71.9 per cent; Louisiana, 28.3 per cent; Virginia, 34 per cent; Tennessee, 11.3 per cent; and Pennsylvania, 14.4 per cent. Thanks to the saints, in Kentucky and Maryland, mulattoes decreased 20.2 per cent and 8.9 per cent, respectively. We are by no means proud of this showing. Quite on the (Continued Next Week.) contrary, we are sad that repulsiveness, in these instances, was brow-beaten and throttled by IMPULSIVENESS. We are tearful that these tragedies are so apparent and that among every 1,000 Negroes in the States named there are 153 mulattoes. Whose fault do you think it is? Should not the note be revised to read: "To every colored woman the touch of a white man is REPULSIVE" and put into the hands of the white people of those States? The Columbia Negro student should dip his pen in his own tears and write and forward this last note to his correspondent; and that correspondent should bow his head and say: WORD COMES FROM NEW JERSEY that the Negro democrats of that State are organized, and have a scintillating program for indorsement by the "overhead" managers. This sounds like a new "Treasure Island" tale, or a "feeler" to find out just how much coalition may be expected from the Republicans of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, in some definite national program for greater political recognition from the section comprised by the "Big Three." Here is why we draw that conclusion. A few years ago, the economic experts placed New Jersey third on the list as a "promised land" for Negro migrants, it being preceded, they said, only by Pennsylvania and Ohio. At that, they estimated that New Jersey always had a migrant population of 25,000 persons, who had vacated the ballotless South, at least so far as they were concerned, for Jersey City, Trenton, Newark Camden, Bayonne, Patterson, New Brunswick, Atlantic City and other Jersey centers. It is presumed, the politicians say, that the migrant class not being any too familiar with the make-up of a ballot, on account of its denial to them in the Southland, will be tickled to rush to the polls and vote, but that there is no likelihood of this group's being organized in democratic circles or voting for the entries of that ticket. This theory, coupled with the fact that a number of race men have been given good appointments in New Jersey make the rumor of democratic organization among the BRETHREN seem more like a fancy than a fact. And when the minor internal differences of the Harlem Republicans of New York have been ironed out, and the local Pennsylvania machines of Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Harrisburg are started ahead, full speed, it is to be doubted that any colorful group of New Jerseyites will have the temerity to sound any loud proclamation of their hopes or votes, as democrats. In New Jersey, colored women comprise more than 50 per cent of Negro workers, of the age of 10 years and over, who are gainfully employed. What's the matter, men? Word comes from Constantinople that the Turks have begun the segregation of racial minorities. Someone from Dixie must have gone to Turkey.

Our primary object and desire is to reimburse any of our people who have invested in any enterprise fostered by us We solemnly swear now, as we swore upon the witness stand, that not one dollar of our forty-five years' accumulation has been the result of dishonorable actions or sharp practices. We insist that the money alleged to be missing cannot be traced to us either directly or indirectly and that of all the people involved we are the greatest sufferer, even as our honesty has been our greatest asset. The money belonging to us and to the organizations with which we are affiliated was taken by others or was accredited to other accounts, so that when checks were drawn upon the account there was no money to meet them. There was no other course for us to pursue, other than to assume complete responsibility Our ledger sheets at the Bank had been stolen, removed in order to cover up these peculations and to make us the victim. We had not transferred our property. It was all in our own name and while the liability chargeable to us from this source was approximately ($64,000) Sixty-four Thousand Dollars, we surrendered assets (real estate) which conservatively handled, will bring over ($100,000) One Hundred Thousand Dollars, which is ($36,000) Thirty six Thousand Dollars more than the alleged liability. We have never had charge of a record in the Mechanics Savings Bank in twenty years' service. We could not have made a false entry upon the books of that concern. We had no reason so to do when we had surrendered property with a gross rental of ($11,000) Eleven Thousand Dollars. We have defended colored people, secured their release from jails, penitentiaries and stopped executions upon the gallows. We are now called upon to defend ourselves. Certain it is, that the people whom we have defended will stand by us. As for the better class of Southerners, their testimony in our behalf is an outstanding feature of this crucial period of our existence.

CONVENTION IN OHIO One hundred members of the Coolidge Republican Club of Massachusetts, headed by a band of 40 pieces, will journey over the road in a gaily decorated caravan of autos and auto trucks, in pursuance with plans which have already been practically perfected, to augment the Massachusetts host of rooters that will go to Cleveland in June to cheer on the nomination of Calvin Coolidge at the Republican National Convention. Reservations for balcony seats in Convention Hall have bee nequested from the National Committee to accommodate the entire party. The Coolidge Club representatives will be handed by Dr. Benjamin E. Robinson of Boston, Republican leader in Massachusetts, an alternate delegate to the convention, who, with Robert M. Stevens of Pittsfield, are the only two colored men who are seeking places on the delegation. Both are in cluded among the 39 aspirants whose names will go on the ballot with the endorsement of President Coolidge. Dr. Robinson, who is chairman of the executive committee of the Coolidge Club, will go on the Massachusetts Coolidge delegation from the 11th Congressional District. It is planned that, through an early start, the members of the club will arive in Cleveland sufficiently early to enable them to meet the special train of the Republican State Committee and to act as escort for the official party to the State headquarters. They will also volunteer to hold the righo online in all demonstrations and parades of the Massachusetts visitors. The Coolidge Republican Club of Massachusetts is not an organization of recent sporadic growth, conceived in the heyday of success of the President, with the obvious purpose of basking in the limelight and seeking selfish aggrandizement from the reflected glory of Mr. Coolidge's ascendency. The club was organized in the dark hours of the President Coolidge Club hours of the President when he then Goxenor of the Commonwealth, in September 1919 made Ms. sturdy appeal for "Law and Order," as he stood with his back to the wall resolutely facing the forces of rebellion and anarchy which were threatening to sweep the State. Inspired by the stand of Calvin Coolidge a handful of colored men, headed by Dr. Benjamin E. Robinson, taking as their slogan his ringing phrase "Law and Order" brought into existence the first organization founded in the United States named in honor of the mna who is now President. To this group of colored men must be accorded the credit of having rallied to him before his white compatriots had come to visionize the true measure of his greatness. Calvin Coolidge has not be trayed the trust which these men imposed in him. Within a few days after the initial meeting incorporation papers were issued by the Secretary of State of Massachusetts granting authority for the use of the corporate name of "The Coolidge Republican Club of Massachusetts (Incorporated.)" From a small beginning the club has prospered. Early in 1920 a four story, steam heated, brick building at 115 Dartmouth Street, Boston was purchased for a permanent club house and improved to meet the needs of the or organization, with assembly hall and smoking, lounging card and billiard rooms. The Coolidge Club today occupies the unique position of being the only purely political body in Massachusetts occupying headquarters standing in its own $n$ name. Believing the advancement of Calvin Coolidge and the Republican party to be of paramount importance, and that the attainment of these ends for super seded the mere building of the colored voters into a body having an entity, separate and distinct from a united Republican party, membership in the club was thrown open to every Republican regardless of color, creed or sex. The sole requisite for membership is allegiance to Republican principles. That this action was eminently wise is proven by the enthusiastic response which has come from the white Republicans. Realizing that the permanency of effort was the foundation principle of the club, and not temporary pre-election flurries of activity for purely selfish ends, the Republican party leaders without attempting to secure control of the organization, have been of the greatest assistance by wise and unselfish advice and cooperation. Today the club has a large percentage of white members who are doing their best for its advancement. In addition, with an astonishing growth of confidence between the white and the colored members, has come a much wider recognition of the colored men in politics throughout the State of Massachusetts. The membership today is over 3000 with constant accessions to the membership list. Not only in Massachusetts is the influence of the club potent, but it possesses a considerable active membership in many other states, especially in the Southern and Middle sections. As the power and influence of Calvin Coolidge has grown so the Coolidge Club has followed pace until today as an important factor in country wide Republican politics. The President has always followed the fortunes of the club which especial and fatherly interest. At the last annual dinner, when compelled to remain in Washington through the press of business, he delegated his cousin, Hon. Richard Coolidge as his special representative to address the members. In many other ways he has been of material assistance. In addition to the President many men, whose names are household words both state wide and nationally, are either active or honorary members of the Coolidge Club. Among these are: Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, practically every member of the Massachusetts Delegation in Congress, Governor Chau ning H. Cox and all of the other active officers of the Commonwealth, Hon. William M. Butler, chairman of the Coolidge Campaign Committee Hon. Louis A. Coolidge, candidate for United States Senator. Hon.

Voters Increase 33,786 in Four Years in St. Louis ST. LOUIS, Mo. April 12—There has been an increase of 33,786 in the number of qualified Negro voters residing in St. Louis, a survey completed last Thursday by Hon. John Edwards, chairman of the Board of Election Commissioners, disclosed. The total Negro registration at the last president's election was 30,378, and it is estimated that it will reach 64,164 this year, or more than double the 1920 registration. It is said that Mr. Edwards used these figures in his talk before the Lion's Club in discussing the horrible housing conditions in Negro districts here. He pointed out that these new, enfranchised voters were largely new comers from the South and the increase is believed to be tantamount to that many more Republican votes. He said the investigation disclosed the fact that practically all the Negroes voted the Republican ticket. 666 is a prescription for Malaria Chills and Fever, Dengue or Bilious Fever.

Colord women in business, not im- into power, measure- pressed with the importance of using relieve the farmer. the ballot in the coming election to important factor in put over another Republican adminis-tration, ought to sit up and take no- notice.

The from him, which v- bigger success you make of it, the big various businesses- bigger influence you have, the better ope- this means business opportunities you can give your children for you. and the greater happiness and content- protective tariff ment you can enjoy. Business success depends on the prosperity of the country, and prosperity is the result of wise and careful handling of the country's affairs and interests. People buy when they have money, and they have money when there is employment. Employment depends upon public demands. The Republican party, in order that American industries may be protected, decides on a few policies which react with a powerful force to increase business. Every colored woman in business should thoroughly understand these policies and realize the benefits to her in business. Farm relief measures, the protective tariff, and restricted immigration are some that have direct bearing on business. At the close of the last Democratic administration, the farmers were on the verge of bankruptcy, due to high cost of production, necesity of loans to raise stock and produce and free trade with foreign ports, which swamped the country with food stuffs at very low costs. To make bad matters worse, the Democrats saw fit to refuse extension of time on loans. foodstuffs dropped below cost of production and the farmer could not afford the expense of sending his products to the markets, so he burned it up. As soon as the Republicans came There is no terror, Cassius, in your threats For I am armed so strong in honesty that they pass me by Like the idle wind, that I respect not. into power, measures were passed to relieve the farmer. As the farmer is an important factor in the production and consumption of the country, the re establishment of his credit brought about a wave of prosperity radiating from him, which was felt by all the various businesses in the country. This means business—good business, for you. Protective tariff makes the competition between American and foreign made goods a fair competition. In Europe, those employed in factories and other industries are paid a very low wage. This makes the cost of production of any article from 40 to 80 per cent lower than the same could be produced in America. The result is that unless tresse is a protective tariff American industries and factories would have to close. This, then, reacts upon you and the Business World, be cause when industries close, thousands of people are thrown out of work, and when work stops, wages stop and with out wages the unemployed cannot patronize you. Restricted immigration is the cutting down of the great numbers of foreigners who each year desire to enter the United States. These people have low standards of living, demand very little wages. Resultantly, they procure many jobs, to the prejudice of American workmen. Take bread and shelter from the women and children and sickness, suffering, sorrow and death may follow. Often, riot and lawlessness result. Business again suffers, because one must work to have money. Approximately 35,000 colored women are in various businesses in the United States. With this young women are in various etai shdrui cnwfpy vbekql x States. With this young army of deter mined women back of the Republican party you have a fighting chance to win. It is for the best interests of your business as the prosperity of the country helps to make good business. Many Democratic policies are evil detriments to business success. We must not lose sight of the fact that the terrific war debts, wild extravagances, wastes and inefficiencies of the past democratic administration, jeopardized the country's prosperity beyond estimation. But the Republicans have invoked remedial activities and are standing today as they have stood since Lincoln, for those laws, policies and reforms which mean for the national betterment of all people. A WHITE FIEND TRIES TO RAPE SMALL RACE CHILD IN W, VIRGINIA (Preston News Service) WHEELING, W. Va., April 12—Negroes of this city were incensed when they learned that an unidentified white man lured a six-year-old colored girl into his automobile. According to residents of Chapine street, last Saturday night a little six-year-old colored girl was playing with a rubber ball in Chapine street and missed catching it. At the time a well dressed white man, walking down the street caught the ball and lured the child along, holding the ball out playfully with the child innocently following, until the yhad passed the Pythian Temple when he seized her arm and pulled her into an automobile. Having disarranged his clothing he attempted to do likewise with the child's who became afraid and yelled and managed to get out of the automobile. She ran to her home and told her mother who rushed out to investigate, only to find that the man had disappeared.

As there will be more than one vacancy, it may be well to remark that our old-time friend, Rev. Dr. A. L. Gaines of Balt: more has been endorsed for one of the positions by both the Washington and Baltimore Conferences, From our knowledge of his life's work and his executive ability, he too “fills the bill” and will no doubt give an account of himself. He is a man of the highest integrity and believes in and practices the high- est ideals. The position would not only honor him, but re would honor the position. PRES, COOLIDGE’S PROTEST. ‘The political investigations, which have been going on in Washington re ceived a rude setback in the special message of President Calvin Coolidge, in which he specifically declares that the legislative branch of the Govero- ‘ment was encroaching upon the preroga tives of the Executive Department. No one, who bas observed the trend of af fairs during the past few months can doubt the correctness of his conclus fons. ‘We buve been able to observe the Policy fostered by these senatorial in vestigating committees and under thett plans, the reputation of no respectable citizen ts secure. Testimony which should have been listened to behind closed doors has been given to the pub Uc for what it is worth. It has alwoys heen the custom to hold closed sessions in considering confirmations for office, in order that idle gossip given out by Jealous or spiteful enemies might not be used to injure the standing of reputable citizen. ‘The forcing of Secretary Denby into retirement was an outrage and the sim: ilar treatment of Attorney General Daugherty was wellnigh just as bad. Neither was given an opportunity to be heard but unanswered rumors were sent broadcast over the country to in- jure them and their families. True, the Department of (in) Justice had been folowing this policy long bafore Me Daugherty took charge, but it was in no sense less reprehensible. When the attac’c was made on Seere- tary Andrew W. Mellon, one of the abl- est, certainly the ablest cabinet mem ber with the lone exeception of Scere: tary Hughes then the whole super structure of the Government was en- dangered, Presiden Coolidge found that pen for which he is noted in using, as a defensive weapon and his bitterest | enemies haye felt the full effect of it. ‘That it went true to the mark and ac complished its purpose is self-evident when a Senator offers @ resolution to have it expunged from the records of the United States Senate. It is gratifying to observe that partl- sanry is being disearded by the press of the country that President Coolidge is being commended by leaders throwet- out the country representing both Re- publican and Democratic constituen- cies, The days of hysteria are rapidly passing and the American people are about to value statesmen at their true worth. Picking off members of tho cabinet is a risky piece of business and it now seems that the practice has been carried too far. The result will ultimately be to trl amphantly sweep Calvin Coolidge into| the presidential chair again and to pro- long his stay there. ‘THAT SPECIFIC Dene ‘The Liberian News, of Monrovia, Africa for February 1924 has this to say: We have continuously for a long time noticed in very many of our con- temporaries published, in the United States and elsewhere, that the term “Negro” appears to be reproachful, end is seldom used; the word “elored” being substituted in its stead ard fs also very often used by certain Ameri: ‘ean Negroes here in zits country. ‘The term as applied to a portion of Africans, is regarded by many nice and fastidious persons as inp-oxchful, ‘and therefore, objectionate: but we ‘ask why should it be? We are sure that there is nothing disgraceful inthe etymology of the word in its right use, there is no degrading allusion; for it fs the exact word we understand, winich in the Spanish language is used to de- note biack in the abstrac: or cuncrete. ft is derived from the Latin adjective ‘niger’ which signities black. “Tn the English language it is a ‘dis: ‘tinetive’ term used by all selentitie writers to designate that portion of “Africa south of the Sahara. In respect ‘to the term; Negro the term African ‘is properly a generic term. In respect ‘to Mandingo, Foulah, Grebo, ete, the term Negro is also generic. Byery Ne gro is an African, but every African is not a Negro; because the tawny or olive colored inhabitants of the Bar bary States are Africans, but they are not Negroes. They then in our opinion are inerror who would discard the word Negro from the English language on the ground that it is employed dis- pitefully by some. It is no ground for Aiscountenancing the proper use of the word because it is depreciated by some vulgar, clownish, and insulting men. ‘This is sound Yeasoning, but there is mueh to be said on both sides of this important question. It tells why this term is objectionable, when it says: It is only the present condition of the class to whom the word Negro is “applied that renders it so objectionable to some. If the Negro were a learned, ‘wealthy and fluential people, the term would be regarded as honourable as Anglo saxon American, or any other respectable term. In consequence ot the generally ignor ant and debased character of the Irish people some time ago who immigrated to some parts of the United States, the terms Irish in that part of the country ‘was regarded as contemptuous; | and even many of the sons. of Hibernic ‘were ashamed of being known as Iris men, And why? Was there anything disgraceful in the name itself? No, it was the association around it that caused the disgrace. But today, theit education, their wealtlx, and influence have catised them to be respected among the nations of the earth. Noth ing can divest a people of power, influ- ‘ence, or respectability if tiley have the necessary qualification and if they are intellectually and morally great. Let men call them what they may, it will de an honorable title; while if they are ignorant and degraded and miserable there is no appellation, which if applied to them will not be considered degrad- ing. “A rose by any other namie would smell as sweet 2” Tt, then, we think that the term Ne- gro has been applied to us contempt ‘ously, and we see that that term is in general scientifically used to distingw- ish the type of African to which we be Jong: and if en s people, ‘we have not sufficient influence in the literary and scientific world to bring the term into desuetude, or even to check its curren- cy, let us by elevating ourselves, ele- vate the term. ‘This is the logical conclusion and We took the same position years ago. The Liberian News concludes as follows: ‘The term Quaker and Methodist were also when first used, reproachful terms ut the classes to which they were ap- plied have outlived the disgrace, and ‘no man in Christendom is now asham- THE BIOHMOND PLANET, BIOHMOND, VIRGINIA ed to be called a Quaker or Methodist. | And even the term Christian was first given in derison to believers in Christ, at Antioch. But what term to day is more universally respectable /and honorable? “Names are but breath; Deeds, deeds alone are things.” Since the Negro and bis name have been brought through the prejudice of Jour opposers into. such general disre pute that for a black man to be intel- ligent is to have his Negro blood ignor ed, it appears to us that the Race in different parts of the world are rising into notice and respectability, and are now prepared to disprove practically and scientifically the slanderous aster tions of the'r enemies, there should be no dispositicn on our part to discarn the appellation, but should rather cling to it and show our friends (?) that we the veritable Negroes whom they have Inboured 60 hard to prove identity with the “brute that perish.” We, whom they have 80 much mocked and insulted, and abused, are coming up still deeply imbued with our Negro blood to occupy with them positions of influence in the literary and scientific world,.and oc- cupy our place in the sun. It may be observed though that a universal proposition and in the sense in which Marcus Garvey uses it, Negro is preferable, but when it come to indl- vidual citizenship and to subject rela- tionshfp in America, France, Great Bri- tain, Germany and other like republics and kingdoms and einpires, the racial distinction is rightfully lost in the generic definition and designation of American citizen, Frenchman, British subject, German citizen and the like. ‘We hope that all of us will yet learn to agree and disagree and that bitter, hostile feeling will form no part of a temperate, enlightening discussion of this important subject.

Going to the Armstrong High School Auditorium, we found te other side, those, who had been granted letters from the Sixth Mount Zon Baptist Church and had formed themseives in toa body known as the Mt. Moriah Baptist Church. Rev, R. Beecher Tay- lor preached to them. About 250 per- Sons were present. From the number in the Sixth Mount Zion Baptist Chureh, it would not have been thought that even this number would have been found on the other side. Conditions were satisfactory and no indications other than those of perfect harmony prevailed. We could understand that Rev. A. W. Brown, by his powerful dis course Was not so much seeking after ‘lost sheep” as he was for keeping those he had witty him continuously in eee SHARON BAPTIST SMRVICES.

Observance of Anniversary of Reconstruction President Urged by League for Nation-Wide Demand for the Anti-Lynching Bill—Grant Enforced the Amendments. BOSTON, Mass., April 18.—In a Call issued today from the national headquarters of the National Equal Rights League the entire race is urged to begin a drive for the passage of the Anti Lynching Bill by Congress on Sunday, April 27th, the anniversary of the birth of Gen. U. S. Grant who won the war against slavery and enforced the great war amendments, putting down the Ku Klux Klan. The League urges every church to send a church vote to the Judiciary Committees of the U. S. House, Cong-Wm. Graham-Chairman and Senate and to President Coolidge, asking immediate action on the Anti-Lynching bill. The Call claims that since this was the first bill introduced at this session further silence by race is dangerous as investigations may be kept up all summer. It is urged that Grant's anniversary should be observed annually. General mass meetings by Leagueues where such exist and otherwise by Citizenes Equal Rights Committees for these Grant Sunday Observances for Law Enforcement are especially urged; each meeting to send resolutions by letter or telegram. Copies of votes and resolutions sent to Washington which are forwarded to League Headquarters, 103 Court Street, Boston, will be used to good advantage for the cause of Anti-Lynching. FORT LIMBER MILITARY AIR MILITARY AIR FORCE MILITARY AIR FORCE - 117: RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA A REMARKABLE RELIGIOUS Church members who have an anti-pathy for playhouses can well afford to lay aside their prejudices and go to the Bijou next week and see that three million dollar religious masterpiece, known as "After Six Days." We saw it screened at the Bijou Theatre last. Thursday morning and were astounded at its magnificence and amazed at its grandeur. The Passion Play is not only intensified and surpassed, but it begins with creation and ends with the reign of King Solomon. The Garden of Eden and the murder of Abel by Cain are treated in a manner never seen before. The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah with fire and briststone, the turning of Lot's wife into a pillar of salt, the realistic dividing of the waters of the Red Sea with the hosts of Israel passing triumphantly over the destruction of Pharaoh and his hosts, the story of Joseph and his brethren, the portrayal of Potiphar's wife and Joseph the story of Moses in the bullrushes, and the loves of Solomon form chapters which will interest both the religious and the irreligious. The scenes were staged in the Holy Land and as many as 15,000 people took a part in the portrayal. It took five years to complete the work. Weiss Brothers have succeeded in accomplishing what might well have been considered to be the impossible. It will be shown at the Bijou Theatre all of next week at the prevailing prices. VIRGINIA UNION TO ENGAGE IN TWO DEBATES This Spring Virginia Union University is to take part in two debates. The subject for the triangular debate in which Lincoln and Howard participate is one of the most important questions before the American nation. Since the signing of the Armistice in 1918 the question as to how the United States might cooperate with Europe to achieve and preserve the peace of the world has occupied a unique place in the collective American conscience. The League of Nations has been rejected by the United States Senate and there seems to be little hope that that body will reconsider its action. Isolation from Europe, however, is considered unwise and impossible in the long run, by the most conservative American. Hence the organizing of the World Court has revived the old question. This question will be debated in the triangular meeting on May 2. The subject as stated is "Resolved. That the United States Should Join the World Court as Stipulated by President Harding." Union and Shaw meet in debate at Shaw University April 25. Subject for this debate is, "Resolve." That the United States Should Grant Immediate Independence to the Philippines." Mr. D. V. Jemison and Mr. C. A. Ausin will represent Union.

Burwell. 1925 described the evolution of the Hampton Trade School and indicate the need of mental growth among those who wish to achieve economic development. Homely Philosophy WHO DOES YOUR THINKING? Who does your thinking? Yourself or another? If another, why? What is the matter with your own 'think' department? Every man lest he be an infant or an imbecile should exercise his own thought of thought and arrive at his peculiarly individual concussions. Does another decide your daily activity or inactivity? Is the brain of another able to still your own inner convictions about matters that touch your life vitality? If so, you are a mental slave and well afford to exist without the God given faculty of thought. Do not allow your thought powers to go unused and grow useless while you turn over to another the vital ores of your being. Take stock of your thought form ing mental equipment, catch the light as it falls from your star of hopes and trusting to your own God given mentality, strike out into the vast arena of individual conscious thought. If you have been lazy or a slave throw off the yoke and begin to do your own thinking.

UNION NINE BEATS LINCOLN 87X FINAL ARRANGEMENTS COMPLETE FOR BIG BATTLE OF 15 ROUNDS The business of transferring the heavy-weight bout between Harry Wills Negro challenger for Jack Dempsey's title and Bartley Madden, west side heavyweight, from the National Sports men's Club of Newark to the Queens boro Stadium, Long Island City, was effected yesterday afternoon without a hitch. At a meeting in the Hotel Astor document's were signed by the parties involved in the transfer as the heavy-weight bout was duly announced as the feature of the opening card at the Long Island City City open-air arena for May 13. The length of the bout will be fifteen rounds instead of twelve as originally scheduled. Following this formality, Lew Raymond, matchmaker for the remodeled and renamed Queensboro A. C., announced that he had signed Frankie Senaro, American flyweight champion to a contract for three bouts at the club arenas, Sammy Mandell, Rockford Jr., junior lightweight, also has been signed to a contract for three bouts to be held in the Queensboro, Raymond announced, adding that the club plans to take a definite position in open-air boxing activities as one of the leading clubs of the country. Attending the meeting for the ransfer of the Wills-Madden bout were in addition to Matchmaker Raymond, Paddy Mullins, manager of Wills; Charley Rose, manager of Madden; the two prospective ring rivals and F-Frank Black, Harry Blaufuss and Babe Cullen, Newark promoters who held the original contract for the bout which has been often postponed, due to Wills' injured right hand. When the documents transferring the bout had been duly signed and attested, Matchmaker Raymond announced that Paul Burlenbach, Astoria lightheavyweight, would engage Jack Lynch, Oklahoma boxer, in the semi-final bout of ten rounds. Wills, who has been forced to forego hard training because of the condition of his right hand, will be permitted to resume gymnasium work on Thursday, according to the announcement made yesterday by Dr. W. G. Fralick, who has been treating Wills's injured hand. An examination of the injury disclosed that the progress made toward recovery has been so favorable as to warrant permitting Wills to engage in light bag punching tomorrow. If the hand with stands this exercise as it is expected to, Wills will be permitted to don the gloves for hard-bag punching on Thursday as the first step in his campaign to restore himself to fighting form. Wills plans to box Jack Taylor, Omaha Negro heavyweight in Hartford, Conn. April 30. The signing of Genaro to a contract for three bouts was announced in accordance with the elaborate plans of the Queensboro A. C. for the coming outdoor season. Genaro will engage in his first bout under this contract on May 20 when the American flyweight champion will engage Bud Taylor, Terre Haute, Ind., bantamweight. Following this match it is planned to pair Genaro and Eddie (Cannonbull) Martin, rugged Brooklyn bantamweight to close Genaro's series of three matchs with a clash against Pancho Villa, world's flyweight champion, if the FIPipino can be induced to defend his title against his American rival. Another match which Matchmaker Lew Raymond declared was closed will bring together Pal Moran New Orleans lightweight and Rocky Kansas, Buffalo veteran in a bout scheduled for fifteen rounds on May 27. No announcement was made as to opponents for Mandel or dates on which the Rockford boxer will appear in bouts in the Queensboro Club. --- Charley West in Penn Relay (Preston News Service) WASHINGTON, Pa., April 17—The varsity relay team of Washington and Jefferson College, which will compete in the University of Pennsylvania carnival at Philadelphia on April 25th and 26th was completed last week with the running of a trial in which two men were chosen. Captain Charles West, Pentathlon Champion, won the trial with Clarence Beck, a senior of Youngwood sec trial. Others selected in a previous trial were F. W. Niehaus, Akron, Ohio; and Herbert Greigh, of Washington. West is being backed by practically the entire East to duplicate his performance of last season when he starled the athletic world by coping individual honors as America's greatest college athlete. As a reward for his remarkable work he was elected captain of the present 1924 team. If West is able to duplicate his last season's feat it is almost a certainty that he will be a member of the American Olympic team.

St. Paul School Wins by Score of 3-2 and Petersburg Rolls Up 6-1 Score Hampton Plays Unevenly—Petersburg Plays Fine Game—Fortune Shows Possibilities. (By Charles H. Williams.) HAMPTON, Va., April 18—St. Paul defeated Hampton, 5 to 2, in one of the most exciting baseball games ever staged on nRussell FIELD. The game was played on a field of mud. In spite of that fact the teams were even matched and the game was not won until the last man was put out. This victory is the first of any kind that St. Paul has enjoyed over Hampton. After long years of waiting it came as sweet revenge. The two teams have one baseball victory each to its credit. Hampton having won the first, 4 to 3. The feature of the game was the pitching of Wallace or St. Paul and Hargrove for Hampton. St. Paul 7 hits, including 1 three-base and 1 two-base hit; Hampton 8, including 2 two-base hits.

Petersburg defeated Hampton 6 to 10 in a one-sided contest. The spectators were somewhat disappointed at the playing of the "Seasiders" because of their brilliant playing in the last two games. Instead of a closely contested game, Hampton was out of form and gave a poor exhibition of base ball. The day was perfect baseball weather and a large crowd was on hand to cheer their teams to victory. The Petersburg team played a fine game. Especially effective was the pitching of Armstead, who got 12 strike outs, against 10 by Hampton. Ruffin, who pitched Hampton to a 6 to 1 victory last season over Armstead, started the game, but soon went bad. Coupled with his pitching were several costly errors mostly by Johnson on second. Fortune relieved Ruffin in the fifth inning. Although this was his first game he showed great possibilities as a pitcher. Score by innings: PETERSBURG 1 2 0 0 1 0 1 1 x-6 HAMPTON THE RICHMOND PLANET. RIGHMOND. VIRGINIA They all want to know the approximate amount of the assets to re-open the Mechanics Savings Bank. The amount is stated in the following extract from the decree signed by the able Judge of the Richmond Chancery Court- But how much more is needed? The Receivers assert that they cannot determine this amount until all the pass-books of the depositors have been turned in and balanced. To meet this condition the depositors, in meeting assembled, by unanimous vote, decided to share in any liability in excess of the amount already ascertained. This relieves the situation and enables the Receivers to strike a balance and submit the same to the Court with such a recommendation as may, in their judgment be fair to the people whom they represent. This then will necessarily end the delay as the Receivers have been unofficially reported to be in favor of re-opening the Bank and willing to do all in their power to help the colored people of this community. The issue is plain. Personal feeling and animosities should not figure in this matter. Let us re-open the Mechanics Savings Bank in order that those depositors who are urgently in need of some of their money may be able to get it and those who wish to deposit their savings may be permitted so to do. The depositors stand pledged not to make any run on the Bank Other issues and conditions can be met as they are presented The primary purpose at this time is to do business again. Let us ascertain the approximate amount of liability, put up the assets necessary and with the aid and support of the good white people and the self-sacrificing colored ones, backed by an abiding faith in the Almighty God, let us re-open the Bank. Loendi BasketBall Team to Build Around Home Talent. PITTSBURGH Pa., April 18.—"The 1924 N篮球篮球队 will be built up around local talent," was the statement of "Cum" Posey, world's greatest colored basketball player and the brains of the Loeni club last week.

Beckwith, who was elected to captain the team this year, is saying little but driving the men hard. Thursday the men indulged in a two-hour brisk session in which fielding and hitting were about equally divided. Several of the men connected for long drives and the sharp crack took the pill to such dizzy heights that it was evident that the men are connecting solidly and squarely. Branahan to Harrisburg. (Prester News Service) PITTSBURGH, Pa., April 15. Pitcher Branahan, former Cleveland Tate Star and American Giants twirler, who was signed to come to Pittsburgh this season to play with the Homestead Grays, is reported to be in Harrisburg and will play with Oscar Charleston's team, the Harrisburg Giants of the Eastern League, this seas on. In Branahan's place, however, Posey has signed 'Midnight' Smith of Baltimore, said to possess a speedier ball than Oscar Owens, the Grays 'Tron-Man.' WAY PAVED FOR WILLS AND DEMPSEY TO MEET.

"After Six Days" Featuring "Moses and The Ten Commandments" Is Greatest of Pictures to Reach Richmond.

There has been but one book ever written that is perfect material for the screen without revision, deletion or retelling. That book has had the greatest sale of any volume ever published, yet there are no royalties to be paid its authors by a motion picture producer. That book tells the greatest love stories of all time, narrates the greatest drama of the ages, and offers the finest possibilities to the producer enterprising enough to envisage its wealth of hidden worth. I refer to the Bible, the old Testament, "AFTER SIX DAYS" featuring Moses and the TEN COMMANDMENTS, playing the entire week of April 21st at the Bijou Theatre. Despite its glorious possibilities, its educational, historical and entertaining value, the Old Testament has virtually been untouched by the producer in search of clean beautiful, worthwhile picture material, 'AFTER SIX DAYS' has seized the opportunity to present all the splendid drama and inspiring romance of the Bible as never have been shown before. Not only, were the identical locales filmed as background for the inspiring stories, but every possible effort was made to as sure accurate representations of the buildings, modes and costumes of Biblical times. The production. "AFTER SIX DAYS' took five years of actual photography, not including the time of preparation. The cast is the largest ever assembled for a picture, numbering more than ten thousand principals and supernumeraries. It required the work of a director-in-chief and eleven other directors, together with an army of assistants. Eight cameramen were carried all through the picture; in several of the scenes more than twenty cameras were "hooting" simultaneously. A SPECIAL VAUDEVILLE SHOW AT RAYO.

However, the "trifling" detail of signing Dempsey remains to be cleared up, but it is thought that that end of the transaction will be cleared without any trouble. Neither Kearns nor Dempsey has ever been known to hasten away from money and a Wills bout will get them plenty. It should draw as many customers as the Dempsey-Carpenter comedy, and at the new scale in Jersey of $25 per head, the gate will run at least a million and a quarter. Many wiseacres de clare the gate would run much higher. Of that amount. Dempsey will prob- ably get a guarantee of $600,000, win, lose or draw, while Wills will receive as his share something like $200,000 and much more if he wins. GANS BEATS PALMER IN TEN TORNED KOUNDS.

I was cured of a very bad case of Rheumatism by two bottles of L. J. Hayden's wonderful Herb Medicine, after suffering a long time with the dreadful disease. I was unable to move hand or foot, and after I had taken three doses of the medicine I was able to get out of my bed and walk across the floor, and only two bottles of the medicine has made me a perfectly well man in every respect. I cannot give Mr. L. J. Hayden too much praise for what he has done for me. I have sent many other suffering ones to him, and they have also got cured. My daughter was also cured of Rheumatism and Indigestion by L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicines at No. 220 W Broad Street, Richmond, Va. I recommand Mr. L. J. Hayden as one of the greatest healers of the sick on earth. Respectfully. J. D. TAYLOR 2419 E. Grace St. Richmond, Va 101 E. Clay 407 W. Leigh VISIT MALLORY'S MARKET, Inc.
