UNITED STATES SENATE GRANTS COMPENSATION TO ABLE-BODIED VETERANS OF THE WORLD WAR. Tens of Thousands of Colored Men Come within Its Provisions.----Insurance and Loan Features Prominent----Both Parties Split Wide-open in the Issue Insurance Policies Go to 3,038,583 Veterans Cash Payments to 389,583 Under Bonus Law Adjusted service compensation is figured on the basis of $1, day for home service and $1.25 a day for overseas service. The first sixty days cannot be counted. Also a maximum of 500 days would be allowed. All veterans up to and including the rank of Captain in the army and Marine Corps and Lieutenant in the navy are eligible for the bonus. It is estimated that the average insurance policy would be valued at $962, while the maximum value of the policies would be about $1,900 for overseas service and $1,600 for home service. The value of the policy would be the equivalent of the amount which the adjusted service credit, plus 25 per cent., would purchase at regular insurance prices based on 4 per cent. interest compounded annually. To determine the latter computation a table of factors has been compiled by experts. Multiplication of the proper factor by the amount of adjusted service compensation due the veteran, plus 25 per cent., would give the face value of the insurance certificate. Each certificate, of course, would vary according to the length of service of the veteran and his age at the date of issuance of the policy. The policies would be dated next January 1. Application for the bonus may be made at any time before January 1 1928, but the cash payments will not be distributed until after next March 1. Loans may be made on the policies up to 90 per cent. of their current face value any time after two years from the date of issuance. Thus, on a $1,000 policy, at the end of two years a loan of $78.93 could be made. On this same policy at the end of nineteen years a loan of $831.23 would be possible. The loans may be made at any national or State bank. Service between April 5, 1917, and July 1, 1919, may be counted in computing the adjusted service credit, although enlistment must have been made before November 11, 1918. Women who served as yeomen in the navy and Marine Corps also were included in the bill as eligible to receive its benefits. The bill stipulates that no one shall be entitled to its benefits for service as a civilian officer or for membership in the Reserve Officers' Training Corps, or the Students' Army Training Corps.

Had the Administration been able to win three more votes to its cause it would have been able to offset the two-thirds majority by which the bonus triumphed, but as it was, the bill passed over the veto in the Senate by a margin of 2 1-3 ballots. One-third of those massed behind the President were Democrats who have been consistently against the theory of adjusted compensation. All the power that the White House could summon was exercised to swing sufficient strength to its camp, President Coolidge inviting to breakfast with him today seven Republicans, who, it was hoped, would change their attitude and vote against the bill. The conference over the breakfastable was partly successful, for Senators Keyes of New Hampshire, McKinley of Illinois, Phippe of Colorado and Sterling of South Dakota, all of whom voted for the bill when it passed in March, stood with President Coolidge this afternoon, as did senator Coll of Rhode Island, although he was not at the White --- House. Senators Cameron and Dale who were at the breakfast, voted for the bill, and so did Senator Harreld, another guest who was absent during the March vote. ALPHAS CLOSE CAMPAIGN HERE The local chapter of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity brought its "Go To High School, Go To College" Campaign to a close on last Sunday with a program in the chapel of the Virginia Union University. Dr. William T. Sanger, Secretary of the Virginia Educational Board delivered the principal address. He presented the need for education in such a manner as to include the necessity for high school and college training. COMING!!

Rison, one of the best known colored citizens in the State, took place Sunday, May 18, from the Calvary Baptist Church, Rev G. W. Goode, D. D., pastor. Danyville Va. A large crowd gathered and it was about 3:30 when the solemn dreg played with the band was heard and with solemn tread a long line of Masons, Elks and Odd Fellows led the procession to the church from his late residence at 1256 Paxton street. White friends were in the church with the mourners. Rev. Goode was assisted by Prof. W. F. Gratty, who offered a fervent prayer. Rev Goode then proceeded to deliver a funeral oration. He left the record of the deceased to His God and he drew pointed densions from the uncertainty of life and the certainty of death. His sermon created a profound impression. The choir sang appropriate selections and the organizations went through their ceremonies before the funeral cortege passed out. George Washington Rison was one of the most respected citizens in Dan- PRICE, FIVE CENTS TO OF DGE.

He left two brothers, two sons, two daughters, one step-daughter, two grandchildren, two sons-in-law, four sisters-in-law to mourn their loss. He died Tuesday morning, May 13th after a protracted illness, although he was confined to his bed only two weeks prior to his death. Editor John Mitchell, Jr., attended the funeral and paid a glowing tribute to him at the church. The relatives attending the funeral were: Miss Nannie Pryor, Mrs. Ellen N.

The casket was silver Spartan metallic with heavy extension handles. The grave was decorated with budding flowers, the same being pinned to the lining and presenting a most pleasing effect. The funeral designs were numerous and costly. WILLIAMS LODGE OF ELKS EXCURSION TO BAY SHORE, MONDAY, JUNE 2, 1924. Come and Go. With Us—F. B. Miller. How 20 Prominent Negroes Impressed Me.

He will discuss Negro Migration and its effects; 20 prominent Negroes he met on the tour. Tell of plans of the Business Scholarship to be given under the direction of the American Federation of Negro Students; as well as publish criticisms of the "Ten Great est Negroes America Has Produced") INSTALLMENT II. LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKIANS: WILSON LOVETT, President of the First National Bank, calm and keen. W. B. HUGHES, President of the Domestic Life Insurance Company diplomatic, difficult to fathom. W. H. WRIGHT, President of Mutual Savings Bank, formal, stubborn and eccentric. I. WILLIS COLE, Editor of the Louisville Leader, energetic and distant I loft this interesting quartet and stumbled into as striking a Big Four in Nashville, Tenn. as can be found anywhere in the whole of Dixie. We have big men who never care to seek personal advertisement. Such are these. Perhaps one of these has had his share. Wherever American dollar bills have circulated his name been heralded. That man is tall, olive in complexion, with gray hair and quiet eyes. He is ordinary of speech, and retiring in disposition. If one walked not by the Citizens Savings and Trust Company and saw his name beneath the window labelled "Cashier" or be informed by someone in the street he would never dream that this personage was Hon. J. C. Napier, ex-Register of the United States Treasury. He im pressed me as a man who does not seek notoriously, but one who remains respectfully aloof without pretentious claims to prestige, distinction or superiority. The people around Nashville like him too. He doesn't try to tell them how to run the town. When you see dollar bills again, watch them. There are many of the Napier series in circulation. Besides looking for a great character of our race there will be much to be learned. It is a safe guess to say that nine hundred and ninety-nine out of every thousand of us unobserving, intellectually lazy Americans can not accurately describe ten important features on our friendly dollar notes we love so well but know so little. A second member of the Big Four in the Tennessee Capital is Henry Allen Boyd, bank president, editor, and successor of his father as head of the National Baptist Publishing House. Somehow in him I was reminded of the late Madam Walker. He was of her complexion, of medium height and weighs nearly one hundred ninety His father made a breach with the Baptist person. The son seems to be filling that breach by his sincerity of manner. One would judge him as naturally kind. One must be busy to preside over a trust company, to operate a great publishing house, and edit a decent newspaper, but Henry Allen Boyd does all of these, seems frequent addresses, but never seems to be worried or in a great bluster of a hurry. Compose and self mastery are his attributes. I found him in shirt sleeves busy at work in his publishing house. There was nothing about him suggesting that he knew he was a national figure. Frankness was written plainly upon his brow. There was every visible evidence of a truly sturdy conservative character. A passer-by would not expect him to be Henry Allen Boyd. The Original Fisk Jubilee Quartet made that university famous. Men know less, however, of the personnel who composed it. It was interesting to meet Prof. John Wesley Work, a member of that noted quartet, an ex-professor of music at Fisk, and now President of Roger Williams University. The voice of Professor Work was one of the first Negro voices of the world to be embalmed in the records for talking machines. He still has a rich tenor voice, outweighs 200 pounds, is dark-brown skinned, but not talkative. He is easily met and belongs to that easy allis-well type of personality One hears little about Professor Work because he has sought to develop Negro music. He and his brother Frederick, also a member of the famous Foursome, were pioneers in the field of arranging and popularizing our folk songs. Millions of dollars have been raised for Negro education and other causes because of what the Works have done. The scores of quartets which roam the country every year from any number of our schools and colleges are following the example of this retiring old Fiskite. Despite the abounding good of his instrumentality, he is little known and other men instruments to less beneficial ends repalnational applause, oftimes because they are fortunate in having good advertising back of them—illustration of the results of organized publicity. The Nashville quartet was completed with the race's most eminent pathologist, the noted Doctor W. S. Quinland, Meharyar's "Big Gun." I was among whom, I judge are thousands of others of our group, who are much better acquainted with Harry Wills, Amos Hokum and our meaning "blues-singing" Sara Martin, than the illustrious Dr. Quinland. We would all sing the blues were it not for such big characters as he. Had I been asked to answer the question who is or what is Quinland? I might have tried a foul guess that it was a group of islands straggling off the coast of Labrador. We have all heard of Harvard University, however. He has served to instruct Harvard students. Upon the staff of the famous Peter Bent Brigham Hospital of Boston, as assistant in Pathology. Today he does research work in Pathology at Meharry. He prepares slides for Meharry students to study various perplexing diseases like cancer, diseased lungs, syphilis, diseases of the heart and other maladies. The slides used in the branch of medicine in the great laboratories of Harvard University are prepared by this celebrity. It thus happens that both Meharry and Harvard medical students use the same slides for pathological work. Out of the eight dignitaries discussed, Dr. Quinland is the man who came nearest to conforming with the classic case. The learned doctor has a square he id, resembling that of the Egyptian Pharoh who built the big pyramids on the Nile. His nose is broad, mouth small, with lips which barely seem to meet. He wears a gotee, walks erectly but not stiffly, talks in a measured manner and as he walked about his laboratory demonstrating various pathological specimens, he gave the impression of one vested with thoroughness and dignity. Bankers, editors, insurance men, advertisers, and other dignitaries of St. Louis and Chicago will be discussed in next week and subsequent installments.

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA COLORFUL NEWS "MOVIES" WHEN CARDINAL HAYES returned from Rome, a few weeks ago, it is said that he was questioned regarding the Ku Klux Klan, the civic inebriate of today, and that the Cardinal stated that there were enough Catholics in this country to uphold the Church in any assault which might be made upon it by the Invisible Empire, said to be so relentlessly opposed to Catholicism and to the Negro. Since that time the curtain has risen upon an internal melodrama which makes us forget all we ever knew about Barnum's Circus or the Back-to-Africa Movement. First, a former official of the Klan testifies under oath, before the Senate Committee, which is investigating the election of Senator Mayfield of Texas, that the K. K. K. of Texas frequently held parades for the purpose of discouraging Negroes from attempting to vote in the Lone Star State. Next, Senator Underwood, of Alabama, it is said, plans to carry the fight against the Ku Klux Klan to the floor of the Democratic National Convention, with the insistence that an anti-Klan plank be adopted by his party and that complete religious freedom be asserted. Next, Indiana democrats are said to have declared an open political war upon the alleged Klan candidate for the governorship of the Hoosier State, stating that they will fight for "purity of the courts, the supremacy of the law, and the right to worship according to conscience." Last, but by no means least, dear reader, the call has been issued to the Negroes of Indiana to oppose the Klan in its "religious bigotry, its racial intolerance, and its appeal to crude mob sentiment," such, we suppose, as that which "Grand Titan" Clark testified to before the Senate Committee. Can you beat this melting pot of opinion and sentiment? But there's a class phase in the whole internal nexus which is worthy of note, all the way down from the declaration of Cardinal Hayes to the pronouncement of the Negro protestants—and that is the religious vein of thought. The racial onslaught of the civic inebriate is mentioned by none but the last named group, showing that despite the antipathy to the Klan, "self preservation is the first law of nature."...Is an alliance between Church and Race yearned for or evaded? Is the Church interested solely in its own welfare? There are about twenty million Catholics in this country as against ten million Negroes, thousands of whom, of course, are Catholics. By right and might, however, that should make a total of thirty million people in the United States, or nearly a third of the population, who would be delighted to "ENTERTAIN" the Klan any time, any place. A coalition should be brought about and prayers sounded by the Church and the Race. The Negro protestants against the Klan were sincere enough to sound this prayer. The Church should be interested enough to broadcast it, and the Klan, child that it is of the evils of post-bellum days, should be "kept in its place," which is NOWHERE. Although it has been pending periodically in some form ever since the close of the Civil War, state and national legislation has been accelerated by the migration. Group alliances of both races have, in various localities, been active in building up legislative formulae for racial ills, as is evidenced by national legislation which is now on the table at Washington, and by state measures which have been up for consideration. Some of the measures have been barren of actual good, and many of them have contained elements which would be genuinely helpful; but it can hardly be said that any of them have been born of bad faith. The various commission bills, the Capper Bill, the War Memorial Bill, and a number of state measures, aimed at discrimination and other inequalities, are examples of the quickened spirit to accelerate the consummation of the rights of citizens. The migration has undoubtedly added to the zeal for a greater freedom. Growing out of this there has come a closer scrutiny, by the Negro voters, of those whom they would select to carry on their fight to the state and national legislatures. In New York City, this scrutiny is being keenly practiced, and the close electoral contests of the Harlem district are proofs that the Negro voters are seeking candidates who really mean to invoke reform by legislative methods. The northward movement of Negro youth for educational betterment has been marked during the migration period. The great free-spirited universities of the North are being sought by colored students from the far South. This sentiment in favor of the finer education which is available in northern sections has had a helpful effect in the South, the directors of whose schools have improved their curricula and prevailed upon supporters for larger appropriations, more modern equipment, and better-trained faculties. In academic school life of the North, the Negro youth has captured prize after prize in educational contests, emphasizing that competition with whijtes in the field of knowledge has no terrors for the newcomers, who, in the southland, meet only their own racial lights in the school room. The Negro parent is no different than any other parent; and as greater civilization has been gained the foot-steps of other races have been followed in the matter of progeny, the percentage of which is slowly decreasing. Unfavorable housing conditions and higher living costs have lent their influences in this regard; and the over-sized family, difficult of maintenance, is nowdays no more popular in Negro life than it is with the highly-civilized whites. During a conference, which was held in Pennsylvania last winter, it was urged that the professional group of the race be more largely utilized, and action was taken to see that Negro physicians and nurses, under the auspices of the State Health Department, should be given a larger field of service. In a general way, throughout the centers where migrants abound, 1—KLEW KLUCKS KLASHES WHEN CARDINAL HAYES resided few weeks ago, it is said that he was quarrelu Klux Klan, the civic inebriate of tocolnal stated that there were enough Cau uphold the Church in any assault woon it by the Invisible Empire, said to passed to Catholicism and to the Negro.

(Preston News Service) this sentiment is gaining weight and favor. It bespeaks a greater prosperity for the professional group and an increased interest in the welfare of the Race. Higher training, more valuable contacts, better business, greater race pride, a nearer approach to the brotherhood of man, and, in the end, a genuine advancement in the principles of Christianity will undoubtedly follow in the wake of these specific effects of Negro migration. Bridgeport, Conn., Newark, N. J., New York, N. Y., Philadelphia, Pa., Detroit, Mich., Nashville, Tenn., Charleston, W. Va., and numbers of other cities, North and South, are living examples of the facts sought to be shown in these three brief installments on this absorbing topic. ```markdown ``` JUST PRIOR TO THE 1920 ELECTION, many Negro workers, who had acquired voting qualifications in northern states, were dropped from payrolls and forced to find a new location in new voting districts, where, by reason of an insufficient period of actual residence, they were unable to qualify as voters. It was said that this was a scientifically-devised method of snatching the ballot from those who might not vote the right way. Color has been added to this theory when it is observed that already, this year, there is a rumor that the same practice will be invoked as to Negro voters. As a forerunner to the event it has been announced that factory employment in a number of northern states, including New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and New Jersey, is declining and that, on the other hand, an influx of workers is noted in North Carolina, Georgia, Virginia, and other southern states. The latest available reports of officially-compiled figures on spring employment show that in New York, "the continued and steady increase of operations in several branches of the iron and steel industry, metal-working trades, machine shops, and foundries, has stimulated the employment of labor. Reports from many sections of the State show that the anticipated boom in building is starting and this is evidenced by the increased activity in industries manufacturing building materials and jn structural fabricating plants;" that in New Jersey, "good weather has increased out-door employment. Several branches of the iron and steel industry, automobile and accessory trades, rubber and leather industries, and certain textile trades, show a marked improvement, with employment in these lines approaching normal capacity;" that in Pennsylvania, "manufacturing plants and factories are becoming more active and employment conditions are good. The high rate of activity in the iron and steel and allied industries shows no appreciable let-up and substantial employment gains are reported;" and that in Ohio, "employment conditions generally are good, all indications pointing to a very prosperous year. Increased production is reported in the automobile and rubber industries and more new factory buildings are being erected than at any time since 1918." On the other hand, of Virginia, it is said officially, that the "cotton mills are operating on a curtailed employment and production basis, and that there is a surplus of common labor apparent;" of North Carolina, that "industrial employment conditions are fairly satisfactory, excepting the textile mills, which are still operating on a curtailed basis, affecting many hundreds of workers;" and of Georgia, that "industrial activity is fairly satisfactory, though cotton-oil mills are on a part-time basis." The above is quite contrary to the rumors of unemployment and of restiveness on the part of workers. If the news and notes of such unemployment and restiveness, first referred to, are propaganda, or are, by psychological pressure, intended to move Negro workers away from their voting residences, then there is a full refutation; if they are mis-stated facts, so set loose in bad faith, then here is the truth.

Support race enterprises and include race journals first in the number. During all of your 'ups and downs' remember that God rules in the affairs of men. President Coolidge is having a hard time of it. If he is elected, some people in this country will experience a hard time at his hands, although the country will prosper. Some so-called friends hinder you in your efforts, while they profess to be trying to help you. Some others, who are not classed as friends help you although they make no profession of friendship. Attorney R. B. Barcus of Columbus Ohio comes out in a "flat-footed" denial that he compromised the interests of the race in any shape or manner or that he had any part in any compromise agreement relative to the sending of a colored delegate to the National Republican Convention at Cleveland next month and Editor Harry C. Smith accepts this denial. We take it that one correspondent to the Cleveland Gazette will "roost low" in all communication sent to that influential journal. One thing we know R. B. Barcus is reliable and his statement will pass for its full value anywhere in this neighborhood. THE BONUS. Tens of thousands of colored people stood with President Calvin Coolidge in the position he assumed that patriotism was not a purchasable commodity and could not be valued in dollars and cents. As the Bonus Bill was drawn, to be consistent, there was no other course left open to him, but to veto it. He also set up the plea of economy, that it would create a deficit and would tend to increase taxation rather than relieve a burdensome situation, from which the whole country is suffering. He favored compensation and care for the disabled and afflicted. In other words, a nation can not do enough to compensate those men, whose lives were endangered and whose families were left suffering in this country as a result of this war. On the other hand, if it were a commercial war with no fundamental, patriotic principles underlying the contest, then these veterans are entitled to compensating benefits for the time they lost by going abroad and for the suffering occasioned by the sacrifices made in so doing, regardless of whether they are now sick or well. Hundreds of thousands of colored men will receive benefits as a result of the passage of the bill over the presidential veto and it will be welcomed by them and their families, although they were not forward in bringing it about. The nation should do all it can to aid and help all the men engaged in this contest, but they should not be required to lobby and persuade a President and a Congress so to do. While the colored folks did not make any particular ado over the blessing and they are not particular as to which source from which it came they are thankful just the same. A FINE REPORT. We have received the annual report of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. It contains a complete record of the Tuskegee Hospital Controversy, the lynching statistics and other information for the year, an account of the Supreme Court's decision upholding the fight of the Association against peonage in Arkansas and the records of the fight against discrimination, segregation and mob rule, the Johnstown Pa., deportations. This report emphasizes the great need of this organization and speaks in clarion tones advising our people as well as the liberty-loving white people of this country to support it. That great American, Moorfield Storey, Esq., is President of the Association James Weldon Johnson is the able and aggressive secretary, and he has been as tireless in the discharge of his duties as was his predecessor in office. Despite statements to the contrary in some quarters, Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois is the luminous literary centre around which this great organization revolves Without him it would be the play of Hamlet with Hamlet left out. The achievements are all that the "heart could wish" but the disappointing part is found in the financial report, accurate though it is, it shows that the colored people have built up a system of individualism. Anything that pertains to one's personal welfare is welcome, but anything else relating to the colored people as a whole is, if not actually tabooed woefully neglected. The time has come when the well-to-do colored people are being made the victims of race prejudice and mob violence. Few if any of the victims can show that they have aid ed at any time materially work of this kind. But this greed, organization does not consider their work in this light and it proceeds to aid the oppressed anywhere. We regard this Association as one of the greatest ever organized in this country and as being on a par with the anti-slavery organizations of ante-bellum times. SOUTHERN BAPSTIST WONT DISCUSS THE RACE PROBLEM WITH NORTHERN BROTHERS (Preston News Service) ATLANTA/ Ga., May 22.—For some time there has been a tendency on her part of a great number of southern white churchmen as well as northern white churchmen to get together in an endeavor to come to some common ununderstanding anent the question of dealing with the so-called Negro problem. In an effort to ascertain the attitude of southern white Baptists on the matter, it was brought before the convention here last Wednesday by the executive committee. The convention voted its determination to handle the Negro problem in the South according to the southern white man's conception of how it should be handled without conference or consultation with the Northern Baptist Convention or any other organization. Many speakers declared that it was but a piece of impertinence on the part of northern white churchmen to endeavor to intrude themselves into the affairs of the South as respects the Negro. "We know the Negro better than anybody else and also how to have him best. We don't need any outside advice or help in taking care of the situation' one speaker declared The convention finally decided to more politely word the refusal to accept the proposal and went on record stating that "it would complicate a situation already delicate enough." MAN PLUNGS TO DEATH FROM OFFICE WINDOW. (Preston News Service) PITTSBURGH, Pa., May 22—Down town crowds saw a window cleaner plunge to his death from the fourth floor of a building in Liberty avenue shortly after 9:30 A. M. Wednesday. The dead man was Walter E. Huffler of Hazel street. The victim had finished his work and had removed his sari, belt and other apparatus, according to the story of employees of the American Railway Express Company, where Huffler was at work. It is believed his foot slipped on the ledge of the window, wet by the rain, as he started to climb back through the window. Women screamed in the street below as Huffler's body hurled through the air to crash upon the pavement. Police picked up the crumpled form and rush ed it away to a hospital but Huffler had been instantly killed by the shattering force of the fall. --- URBAN LEAGUE HEAD SPEAKS TO U. OF PITTSBURGH STUDENTS (Preston News Service) PITTSBURGH Pa., May 22—Eugene Kinckle Jones, executive secretary of the National Urban League, with head quarters in New York, addressed the class in the Department of Economics at the University of Pittsburgh, on emigration problems last Thursday morning. Mr. Jones had a very enthusiastic reception. In the short left for discussion, was crowded with questions which the students wanted to know about the Negro question. Mr. Jones spoke of the great national problems which are affecting the future of bth races. He analyzed the various causes for prejudice as fundamentally based on bad housing, bad health—bad housing a high incident in mortality, illness, and higher incidents in comparison with other race groups. He advised the students upon leaving the university to go out in their various fields of endeavor to accord the same opportunities to the ambitious colored men and women, whom they will meet out in life, as they accord to the ambitious students whom they meet in class rooms. The class is presided over by Dr. Francis D. Tyson of the Economics Department of the University, and also president of the Pittsburgh Urban League. Dr. Tyson has supervised a number of scientific surveys and studies of the conditions among Negroes in the Pittsburgh district during the last 10 years and is regarded by many leading sociologists of the country as a leading authority on matters pertaining to the Negro from a highly scientific sociological standpoint.

The report submitted by the accountants brings the bank's affairs up to the present time.

Search continued for two days and nights for two patients who escaped early Thursday morning from Galli-ger hospital, after sluding police guards. The fugitives are David Massey, sufering from a bullet wound in the shoulder and Curtis Owens a mental patient. Massey, it is said, engineered the escape by rolling extra blankets in his bed to make the police believe he was sleeping there. Then, he with Owens, removed two locks and a wire screen from the window and dropped a few feet to liberty. The policeman from the tenth precinct assigned to guard the prisoners had been excluded from the ward because of a small-pox case. The officer said he was unable to see the window from his station. A nurse discovered the ruse. --- WOMEN ELECT DELEGATES TO STATE CONFERENCE. NEWARK, N.

J. Brennan change his order to have the Stadium abandoned as a boxing arena. Flaherty appealed to Brennan in person, but that official informed him that the matter was out of his hands and that he had acted solely on the recommendation of Chief of the New York City Fire Department, John Kenlon, who held that the Stadium was a fire hazard. There are a number of fight fans who are of the opinion that this is simply another exhibition of the determined plan of Anglo-Saxons to prevent any dangerous American of color ever again becoming heavyweight champion of the world. On divers occasions it is pointed out that first one ruse and then another has been resorted to mutilating against the actual achievement of the desire of Harry Wills to get a chance at the championship. However, this small set-back in the offiny, does not appear significant, but it is simply another stumbling block cleverly put in the pathway of Wills toward the goal of his ambition. According to Flaherty, however, the bout "may be held Friday night May 23, or in the event Kenlon refuses to pass favorably upon the Stadium, the show probably will be taken across the river to Dreamland Park New N. J. and will be staged Monday night. May 26. It now seems likely this latter spot will be the ultimate scene of battle. It is it ever pulled off, for it appears that New York politicians catering to the foggyism white church people, timidity of, white hopes' and general sentiment for "Anglo-supremacy" are said to be behind the ban on the Stadium at Long Island City. While the Queensboro matter is hanging fire, Harry Wills and Bartley Maden are continuing their training in the hope, probably valm, that they will eventually be "permitted" to meet some place, some time. Wills is conti- uing his work in New York and Maden has returned to Pompton Lake. KID NORFOLK AND GREB ARE BARRED OUT IN MINNESOTA St. PAUL, Minn. May 23—Harry Greb, Pittsburgh Middleweight champion and Kid Norfolk. New York light heavyweight, were barred from fighting in Minnesota last week by the Min (By "Ches" L. Washington, Member, Western Sport Writers' Ass'n.) Another annual sporting tornado has enveloped the college athlete world for the school year and has now passed on, leaving in its wake new champions and new heroes; another, thrilling chapter, the gaga of the college athlete world; another, complete and complete, and it is our purpose to turn back the brilliant pages of this historic volume, scan the pages with an eye of retrospection, and pay tribute to those who are truly great in V. U. U's, athletic world, and also to those who spurred them on to their memorable accomplishments. THE UNIVERSITY Union, now a Class A College, has accomplished wonders during the past athletic season. Virginia Union won the 1923-24 Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association's grid iron championship; were runners-up for the Association's baseball championship; made a decided impression in Collegiate basketball circles; established her track and field ability at the Penn Relays, Howard and Hampton meets; and gained honor in the first collegiate tennis tournament held on her campus. THE ATHLETES To the writers' mind, the college athlete is and should be the highest exponent of good sportmanship in the athletic world. Even the almost fabulous salary paid the stellar National Negro Baseball League outfielder, Oscar Charleston, or the large compensation given the diminutive though clever gridiron demon, Fritz Pollard, we believe, cannot compare with the glory and honor accorded the gallant college athlete for his supreme efforts in behalf of his Alma Mater. Tho' he may be a wizard on the gridiron, a demon on the diamond, a satellite on the basketball court, a flash on the cinder path, or a wonder on the tennis court, the Union athlete gives his services willingly and freely in the best of spirit to promote the honor of Union. Many outstanding athletes have received trophies, letters, etc., but others will find their remuneration in the great game of life when the principles of fair play and keen competition developed at Union will help them to win the great battles of life. Whenever any athlete accomplishes anything, there is always some great motive or all-inspiring influence which helps to spur him on to success. At Union, the students, faculty and friends do their important part by "making a big noise" and giving the contestants the "glad hand" and a word of encouragement. Union spirit was evidenced very greatly when Union beat Hampton in a titular Turkey Day struggle and wrested the C. I. A. A championship away from the Seasiders, but one event during the course of Union's athletic "menu" is well worthy of mention. When Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute played Union Easter Day, in the last of the ninth inning, with two outs, two strikes on the batter and Union no hits and no runs, with Petersburg having tucked safely away three tallies, things looked pretty dark for the old red and steel devotees. A great Union professor had just pleaded with the batter to stage a rally in the "good old Union way" and hundreds of students and friends were pleading for a belated "comeback." And it came-5 batters in succession hit and scored 3 runs, and then Union came back in the 11th and won the game. Some scribes say it was a miracle. I say it was that "GOOD OLD UNION SPIRIT." At any rate it was a never-to-be forgotten event and a concrete Union demonstration of that "never-say-die" spirit that should pervade not only all athletic games, but in the great game of life.

TIGER FLOWERS PUTS K O ON WALKER NEW YORK, May 22—Tiger Flowers, sensational mindful weight of Atlanta, Ga., hung up his four successive victory at the Commonwealth Sporting Club here Wednesday night when he knocked out Willie Walker, of Harlem, in the seventh round of their scheduled 12-round bout featured as the star event of the evening. Flowers forced the engagement all the way, and took every round from the Harlemite up to the knockout. Walker danced about like a jumping jack trying to evade the sleep-producing blows of Flowers, but the Tiger was too fast, too accurate, too clever and succeeded in landing often and "very" hard. The semi-final, also scheduled for 12 rounds, was cut short in the fourth stanza, when Chick Suggs, Massachusetts featherweight, making his first appearance in a Gotham ring since the inception of the Walker law knocked out Nick Mercer of New York. LOMBARDO WINS ON FOUL New York, May 22—Jose Lombardo, of Panama had his first fight in this country Monday night and won on a foul from Jack Hauser in the third round of a scheduled 10-round affair at the Pioneer Club. It was a very fast and interesting fight up to that stage and Lombardo made a good impression upon the spectators. Hauser, hit Lombardo low several times in the third round after repeated warnings from the referee, Jack Dorman, who finally disqualified him. HOWARD HONORS CHARLEY WEST, W. AND J LUMINARY. WASHINGTON, Pa., May 22.—Charley West, W. and J., captain and intercollegiate pentathlon champion, has just returned from Washington, D.

While in the national capital, West participated in an invitation track and field meet in which the cream of the talent of the nation took part. West TORIAL D UNION N SPIRIT." (Preston News Service) (Preston News Services) --- (Preston News Service) THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA ATHLETIC PAGE Yes, the owners of the Mechanics Savings Bank, representing approximately three hundred individuals, the depositors, representing about three thousand, not including the holders of Christmas Savings Club Cards, the white and colored people of this city, who are vitally interested in retaining the confidence of the colored people of this community and the good opinion of the white and colored people of the United States, are waiting. 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. and Ned Gourdin, the famous Howard star, competed against each other in special events. Putting the shot was substituted because of the condition of the arch of West's foot, which he did not care to risk aggravating in the broad jump. In the discus throw, West beat Gourdin with a toss of 111 feet as compared to 109. In throwing the javelin West again was superior, getting the ancient weapon away from him for a throw of 176 feet, as compared to 157, Gourdin's best. They were then pitted against each other in the 440-yard dash West winning. Captain West has started preparation for the dual meet between W. and J. and Ohio Wesleyan at Delaware, Ohio next Saturday afternoon. His foot, which has bothered him all spring is improving and he hopes it will be in shape to permit him taking a really active part in the contest with the Ohioans, who are making a determined effort to beat the Presidents and even up for the reverse they received last year. It is not likely that West will be active in the college meets after next Sat urday as he is particularly anxious to be in the best of condition when he enters the Olympic Pentathlon finals in New York on June 10th. —The Planet will be sent to you for one year, price $2.00 or it will be delivered at your door every Saturday for Five Cents per week.

Great Sabbatical Jubilee Great Rally at the Virginia Theological Seminary and College June 24th-29th, 1924—All Invited to Attend Remarkable Progress. FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLAR RALLY In the year of our Lord 1867, the Colored Baptists of Virginia formed themselves into an organization which took the name of The Virginia Baptist State Convention. In 1917 this Convention assembled in its fiftieth anniversary and celebrated the half century of its organic life under the caption, "Golden Jubilee." This celebration under the masterly leadership of Dr. Alexander A. Galvin caused a great walking and sacred enthusiasm among Colored Baptists in particular and Kingdom interests generally. So complete was the esuccess and so fruitful was the effort the Convention votel to hold a Sabbatical Jubilee at the expiration of every 7 years there after. The first Sabbatical Jubilee will be held on the grounds and in the buildings of the Virginia Theological Seminary and College, Lynchburg, Virginia June 24th through the 29th, 1924. A few days, and we will find ourselves assembled on this auspicious occasion. The convention proper will meet in the new auditorium of our school which seats fifteen hundred people and is scarcely excelled in beauty or quality in the state of Virginia. The women's convention will be held in the gymnasium, spacious and comfortable; the Sunday School convention will hold its session in a large tent and the B. Y. P. U. in a third assembly room in our great Administration Hall. This quartette of Conventions will do business for the King, and the musi.ie of its deeds with the harmony of its activities will greatly inspire the lovers of the Lord and cause the very air to vibrate with the praises of God. Presidents of State Conventions the country over have been and are here invited to be present. A whole session is set apart for a conference of the State Convention Presidents; no President can afford to miss it. Sermons and addresses will be delivered by the ablest men of our group. The Lord is going to be there and there will be heaven in the air. Our budget for that occasion is $50,000 (fifty thousand dollars) for christian education and christian Missions Our school alone needs this meager amount; it is costing $100,000 (one Hundred Thousand Dollars) in running expense and improvements per annum We are appealing to every church whether it is a member of the Conviction or not, and every individual interested in the salvation and education of the Black Man of America, to bring or send a donation. When you see the strenuous efforts we are putting forth and the wonderful way God is blessing these humble efforts, you can afford to play "hands off" or stand idle while a few faithful ones in consecrated toil verily sweat blood for this cause which is so worthy? Whether church or individual, if you can not come, mall your contribution not later than the 18th of June to President T. J. King 1005 North Fourth Street, Richmond, Va. or Correspondent Secretary M. C. A. l昂 A. B., Virginia Seminary, Lynchburg, Va. Any amount will be grateful by received and entered on the records from $1.00 upward. Let our business and fraternal organizations help in this worthy cause. Here is the basis of our appeal: (1) The Virginia Theological Seminary and College is the only institution of its kind in the State and several adjacent States owned, operated and financed by Colored Baptists; the only expression of Colored Baptists' interest in their own salvation and education; the only effort to make a distinct contribution towards redemption through the medium of College and Seminary training. (2.) This movement is no longer an experiment, it is already a success. Many of the ablest pastors on the field record this humble Institution as their alma-mater; thus, the Trustee Board and that princely educator. President R. C. Woods have proven themselves worthy of the confidence and sacred trust of all who have in any way aided this movement or may yet do so through this and other appeals. (3). In an effort to provide accommodation for that large number of students who are being annually turned away from our doors, the Trustee Board and administration have made a large out-lay of money contracting a good heavy debt, and our creditors at the close of this session are expecting payment; and not pleas of poverty nor piles of excuses. Let us free the President from any such annoyance by bringing up our money and placing it on the altar. By the grace of God, I will meet you on Seminary Hill at nine o'clock Tuesday morning. June 24th with between $1500 (Fifteen Hundred Dollars) and $2000.00 (Two Thousand Dollars) from dear old Fifth Street. Yours for a great Jubilee —T. J. KING, President.

These dramatic stars have been at their best, Ida Anderson as Mrs. Hawkins rivalled her best renditions, while Charles Olden as Mr. Hawkins "brought down the house." He ranks with the best actors regardless of color in this country. William "Babe" Townsend in the character of Signor Monte was in his element again and for nearly an hour had the large audiences actually writhing with laughter. The descent from the height of the serious vein to the level of reckless mirth was accomplished by the masterly ability of Ida Anderson, who has selected the Broadway successes to please and charm Richmond theatre-goers. She owns and controls the company. Rupert Marks was there "with the goods," while Hilda Thompson outdid herself in the character of Monte's wife, whom she alternately loved and hated. Theresa Brooks maintained her high reputation as an actress, while Arthur Taylor as the butler was all and more than the heart could wish. The stage costumes were magnificent. They are owned by the wearers, but the evident expensiveness of the gowns led some people to wonder if they were not shipped for the time-being from the Parisian modists having agencies in New York "Twin Beds" will be repeated at today's (Saturday) matinee and tonight FINE TWISTED MILK MILK CO.

Dear Sir: In harmony with the understanding with you, I am furnishing you the following information relative to the so-called Houston rioters: Of the fifty-four of these men who were in confinement in the penitentiary when the board of officers visited that institution, thirty were serving life sentences. As the result of the recommendations of the board of officers made after a most careful and exhaustive investigation and consideration of each case on its individual merits, ten of the thirty men under life sentences have received reductions in their sentences that will make them eligible for release on home parole during the calendar year 1925; and the remaining twenty have received reductions from life to thirty years, which will make sixteen of them eligible for home parole in 1927, and four of them eligible for home parole in 1928. In passing upon these cases, great weight was laid upon the evidence presented at the trial and the conduct in confinement of the prisoners concerned; and the investigation showed that the men whose sequences were reduced to thirty years were the more deeply involved in the effaill and bad the poor record of conduct in confinement. Of the other twenty-four prisoners in vowed in the Houston riot, serving sentences of less than life at the time of the investigation of the board, elgh been are eligible for parole during the calendar year 1924 and six will be eligible for home parole in 1925. As this recent investigation has resulted in reductions in sentences in every case of the so-called Houston rioters, with the exception of six who are eligible for parole not later than August 1924, as the latest date (under the modified sentences) on which any prisoner will become eligible for home parole is August, 1928 it is considered that the War Department has been most liberal in its treatment of the prisoners. Under a rule of the War Department governing the subject, the case of every military prisoner is considered for clemency at least once each year; and neither the recent investigation by the board of officers, nor any action taken upon its recommendation, will preclude the consideration annually of the case of each one of the prisoners involved. Very truly yours, (Signed:) —JOHN W. WEEKS, Secretary of War. LAFAYETTE PLAYERS' SECOND WEEK AT THE RAYO. Never before in the Theatrical History of Second Street have such crowds turned out as are nightly visiting the Rayo Theatre to see the truly wonderful plays produced by the Ida Anderson Company of Lafayette Players and the applause is gratifying to the artists as well as convincing proof of the big hit that this company is making. The Lafayette players will be at the Rayo all next week, May 26th to 31st and then they leave for Baltimore to fill an engagement there. Next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday they will present one of the most famous dramas the American stages has ever known, "Bought and Paid Fort" a thrilling story of love and politics. Thursday, Friday and Saturday they will present again by special request. "The Unloved Wife," this being the play in which they made such a big hit here some months ago and which so many people have asked them to present. Feature pictures from 7 to 8:30 and the Lafayette players start at 8:30 Matinees Monday, Thursday and Saturday. QUINTARD MILLER SHOW HERE Quintard Miller's show of Creole Follies made a success during their stay here at the Rayo Theatre last week and played to large audiences. Marcus F. Slaytor in the woman character was a great success and Eddie Lemons as comedian kept the audience laughing from the time of the rising of the curtain until the final show. THE NEW JERSEY JACKET Tailored of All Wool Materials in the New Styles and Colors down. Lemons never really smiles, but he is successful in causing every one else to do what he fails to do and it is all brought about by his gregesque actions and droll remarks. The leading character is Lula Whidly and her singing and stage effects brought forth applause. The chorus girls move on quick time and are general favorites. The show lived up to the reutation that had preceded it. Those participating were Lula Whidly, Emma Hawkins, Bessie Wrighton, Viola Williams Lucile Henderson, Olive Lopez, Eddie Lemons! Amon Davis, Edith Randolph. A SUPERINTENDENT'S TRIBUTE The well-known Mrs. Amanda H. Lee is an invalid in her home 401 S. Main Street, Danville, Va.
