Brown Panther Fails to Knock Out Tough Irish Heavyweight, But Gets Clean Decision on Points MAY 17, 1923 VOLUME XLI. NO. 30 PRE FIRST NE DELE Credentials Party Org Harry Wills Bartley M 15-Rour Brown Panther Fails to Heavyweight, But Gets NEW YORK, JUNE 10—Harry Wills, the "Brown Panther of New Orleans," won the decision over Bartley Madden, the Irish boxer, in their fifteen round bout at the Queensboro Stadium in Long Island City last night. It was a gruelling battle with Wills not only failing to knock out or knock down his opponent, but with Madden furnishing most of the excitement by making an unexpectedly strong finish. Wills forced the fighting at the start and punished Madden severely at close quarters, but the Irishman hung on desperately and his awkward, style of fighting seemed to prevent Wills from landing a finishing blow. As the fight wore on Madden began to show better, while Wills appeared to be tiring from his own efforts. By the time of the tenth round Madden was standing toe to toe with Wills and, while the Irishman's blows had little effect on the giant brown panther, the crowd cheered Bartley for his plucky showing. Wills relied for his forts in the last three rounds, and though he battered his opponent, Madden stuck by his guns to the finish. A crowd of close to 20,000 persons turned out for the opportunity of seeing Wills in action. Not all the gathering was in the arena. The fans hung from telegraph poles over looking the arena and crowded nearby housetops which offered a view of the ring. The outer rim of the new arena, that section of the plant holding the $2 admission enthusiasts filled first and quickly once the sale of these tickets opened. By the time the main bout started, however not a vacant seat was to be seen in the arena. Tommy Wint, colored middle-weight, knocked out Al Studdy in the fourth and last round of the opening preliminary. In the second bout, Sandy Selfert disposed of Tom Lazuka in two rounds. Jimmy Slattery, Buffalo light heavyweight, carried off the decision over Jack Lynch, Arizona boxer, in a fast and interesting six-round boxing Slattery clearly excited him in every round. Lynch showed gameness in standing up under punishment and earned the plaudits of the crowd as he left the ring. The final bell found Lynch on the floor at the count of two from a terrific right to the law. Tommy O'Brien, Milwaukee light weight scored a knockout over Pete August, of Bridgeport, Conn., when the referee stopped the fight in the ninth round to save August from further punishment. A shower of hooks to the jaw battered August into helplessness, but he did not take a count, the fight being stopped as he hung helpless on the ropes in a neutral corner. The round-by-round story of the Harry Wills-Bartley Madden bout at the Queensboro Stadium Monday night follows: ROUND 1. Wills chased Madden into a corner twice, landing both hands to the head without a return. Madden cov- ered cautiously, but took four uppercents to the head. Madden tanded a right to the jaw. Wills punished his opponent about the body at close range. Wills used his long reach to good advantage and kept Madden backing away from his drives to the head and body at the close of the round Wills pummelled Madden about the body as they wrestled along the ropes. Madden landed a long right to the head and then clinched. Wills battered his opponent about the ribs with powerful rights. They exchanged light blows to the head. Wills was warned for holding as they broke from a clinch. Madden was hanging on persistently to avoid Wills's sweeping right at the gong. ROUND 3. Wills mauled Madden about and resumed the more determined offensive. The big fighter winked to an admirer in the crowd as he pummeled the Irishman's side. Madden landed a short right uppercut but took four rights to the jaw in return. Madden landed a right to the head. They spent most of their time clinching. Madden's left found Wills' jaw twice. They were locked in a clinch at the end of the round. ROUND 4. Wills drove Madden to the ropes with a fierce attack to the head. Wills took a long left to the ear, but complained to the referee that Madden was prolonging the clinches. Madden took a stiff jolt to the head and absorbed more punishment at the end of the fight, aggressiveness and brought blood to Wills' mouth with a right hook just before the gong ended the round ROUND 5 Madden backed away from a vicious right, but was mauled about the body as they rushed together. Wills took a left hook to the head, but rushed his man to the ropes with both fists swinging to the head. Wills battered Madden about the jaw, and the Irishman seemed groggy. Wills missed a vicious right at the close of the round. ROUND 6. Wills drove his right to the body, but Madden covered quickly. Wills rushed in quickly and sank both fists into his opponent's ribs. Madden stabbed lightly with his left to the jaw, but sought the clinches frequently. Wills punished Madden about the body, but Bartley ducked most of his swings. Wills shook Madden with an attack to the head, but the Irishman stuck to his guns. ROUND 7. Madden missed with his right and backed to a corner as Wills landed a rabbit blow with his right. Madden blocked a vicious right, but his ear was split by a sharp left. Mad-(continued on the Sixth Page.) RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JUNE 14, 1924 "COLOR LINE" HELD LEGAL FOR D. C. PROPERTY. District Appellate Court Holds White Owners May Exclude Colored. (Prestor News Service) WASHINGTON, D. C., June 13—The "Color Line" may be drawn in restrict ing the scale of property here, according to opinion handed down last Monday by the District of Columbia Court of Appeals. White property owners in any neighborhood, who fear that an invasion of colored residents might take place unless they are hound in a column contract to exclude colored people, may get, together and blind them, not to sell, rent, give away, or in any manner transfer any property to colored persons, and the appellate court held such a document or covenant is binding and cannot be held for haught by one of the signers who takes a motion to disregard it. The decision arose in the case of John J. Buckley, who sued Irene Hand Courtran, (white) to prevent the latter from selling a house in S Street, Northwest, between New Hampshire Avenue and Eighteenth Street to Heilen Curtis, a colored woman. The lower court issued an injunction preventing the sale on the ground that it was a breach of the covenant signed by 30 owners of nearby property. Mrs. Curtis appealed, but the appellate court now holds that the restriction against her is valid. The appellate court took notice of the fact that it was lawful for colored residents to exclude white people from their localities, their places of business and places of pleasure, and no one protested against the exclusion of white people. Therefore, the court stated it was just as lawful for the white people to exclude colored people. "Segregation does not imply inferiority" the Appellate Court stated. Segregation was the result of agitation by both white and colored persons, the court stated and therefore, one race has the right to exclude the other. Dr. Emmett J. Scott, treasurer of Howard University, Recorder of Deeds, Arthur G. Froe; Attorney Perry W. Howard, it is said have purchased properties close to the enjoined residence, and Washington folks are wondering whether the decision will be far reaching in its effect. It is believed however, that attorneys for Mrs. Curtis will carry the matter to the U. S. Supreme Court and that, as a well known attorney said, "It is not probable that U S. Supreme Court precedes will affirm the decision of the District of Columbia." --- PLAN MILLION DOLLAR RACE CORPORATION. (Preston News Service) DURHAM, N. C., June 12—With an authorized capitalization of one million dollars, the National Negro Finance Corporation was formed here at a meeting of prominent race men from various sections of the United States recently, it is announced, Maj. R. R. M.ton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, was elected president. Durham will be headquarters. The purpose of the organization it is said, is to lend financial aid to worthy and responsible Negroes throughout the United States to assist them in opening up or improving business. One of the prime objects is to encourage race men and women throughout the country to enter the business world. Plans have been worked out, it is said, and in the near future a campaign will be launched by the corporation among Negroes of the nation to secure contributions to the loan fund. Stock will be issued to those contributing. PRESIDENT COOLIDGE COMMUTES HOUSTON MARTYR SENTENCE NEW YORK—(N. A. A. C. P. Service)—President Coolidge has directed commutation of sentence of John Hudson, former member of the 24th Infantry, serving a life sentence for alleged participation in the Houston riot of 1817. It was announced by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the commutation making the life termer obligible for release this year. The release follows action by the N. A. A. C. P. in behalf of this man whose case was not reviewed by the board of officers recently appointed, because he had been transferred to a hospital for the insane. He was still in the hospital at the time the clementey board was in session at Leavenworth. Shortly after the officers had finished their work, Hudson was declared, sane and transferred back to Leavenworth-Prison to complete his life sentence. When these facts were brought to the attention of John W. Weeks, Secretary of War, by the N. A. A. C. P. he took the matter up with President Coolidge. As a result the following letter to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has been received from the War Department: "Referring to your letter of the 17th instant, relative to the case of John Hudson, a general prisoner confined at the United States Penitentiary, Leavenworth, Kansas, I am directed by the Secretary of War to inform you that the sentence of confinement of Hudson has, by direction of the President, been reduced from life to twenty (20) years. The Warden of the Penitentiary has been so advised." As Federal prisoners are eligible for parole after serving one-third of their terms, the commutation to 20 years makes Hudson eligible for parole this year. This increases the number of commutations to 55. THETA CHAPTER PRESENTS ITS SECOND ANNUAL PLAY (Preston News Service) COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 13—The Theta Chapter of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Ohio State University, presented its second annual play at the Chamber of Commerce auditorium. The play, "A Pull house," was a farce of three acts, given for the benefit of the piano fund of the Y. W. C. A. The Sorority girls' effort last year resulted in one room of the Y. W. C. A. being completely furnished. The char actors in the play were all students at Ohio State University except Alonzo Mangrum, leading man, and Miss Mable Jones, asthetic dancer. Mr. Mangrum is an ex-student of Temple University and Miss Jones is a graduate of the Vestoff-Servea School of Dancing, of New York. Miss Jones' specialty being Indian folk-love dances. Between the acts Miss Jones rendered numbers which were enthusiastically received. Prof. J. Cleveland LeMouns was at the piano. The principals in the play were coached by Miss Laura Camp bell, assisted by Mesdames Jessis Glover and R. A. Johnston. The patronesses were: Mesdames N. B. Allen, C. W. Bryant, R. C. Carter, H. Godman, R. A. Johnston, J. E. Williams and J. H. Wilson. WHITES TERRORIZER COLORED HOME BUYERS IN KANSAS CITY (Preston Sewa Service) KANSAS CITY, Mo. June 13—The bomber has returned to Kansas City. Beeginning with demands three weeks ago and culminating in a bomb thrown SAT urday night, terrorism against Negro home buyers has burst forth again. POLICE OFFICER VICTIM. The buyer who suffers this time is Patrolman Smothers, who has purchased a cottage on the south west corner of Montgall Avenue and Twenty-fifth Street. For a number of years Twenty-fifth Street has been the "line" on Montgall, although on the other avenues the "line" has been as far south as Twenty-Eighth street. Demands formulated at a meeting in the Twenty-five hundred block were addressed to the police commissioners and the chief of police recently. NOT DISCHARGED. The police officer's neither discharged Patrolman Smothers nor advised him to sell, as requested in the demand it is said. The bomb was thrown between the Smothers house and another home and two windows were broken in the officer's home when the bomb exploded. Fifteen years ago Negro homes were bombed for appearing anywhere on Montgall avenue. In other sections where Negroes have expanded to the south and west there have been bombings, but the progress of the population has not stopped. It is believed that this latest demonstration of terrorism is but the preliminary to the moving south on Montgall Avenue, which is now one of the "show" residential streets. —Peter Hall the "Bootblack King," at 511 1-2 North Second Street is doing first class work.

June 12—Bishop W. A. Candler is out of harmony with his own church," in his opposition to the plan of unification of the northern and southern branches of the M. E. Church, says Bishop E. D. Mouzin in reply to Bishop Candler's attack on the unification plan. Bishop Mouzin is a strong proponent for unification with the n- rthern branch and declares that the plan recently proposed by the northern branch is the same as the plan propounded by the southern branch. He charges that Bishop Candler has failed to study the plan. 3 MEN FOUND IN STOLEN CAR (Preston News Service) DANVILLE, III., June 12.—George Turner, Charles Bradley and Eddie Morrow, all of St. Louis, were brought here from Westoka, Thursday night when they were arrested Wednesday afternoon, charged with crowding autoists off the Dixie Highway.

COLORED ATED. Enunciated. President. ANTI-LYNCHING AND NEGRO COMMISSION PLANK IN PLATFORM CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 11—The Republican National Convention convened yesterday with Chairman John T. Adams, presiding. He then jailed. Then Theodore E. Burton as temporary chairman and that distinguished republican leader arose amidst a plause. He delivered an address and when Secretary of the Treasury, Andrew W. Mellon arose, there was an ovation, which lasted five minutes. He acknowledged the greeting. The delivery of an address by the temporary chairman brought forth a speedy recess. With the completion of the roll by the Committee on Credentials and the seating of the delegates, the body got down to business with Hon. Frank W. Mondell of Wyoming as permanent chairman. PARTY LOYALTY FIRST. The attitude of the convention is to put a premium upon party loyalty to the end that party measures may be enacted into law. The platform has been skillfully drawn and the anti-Ku-Kluan plank in a modified form inserted. The difficulty in selecting a vicepresidential candidate constituted one of the greatest stumbling blocks to the work of the convention. It is evident that President Coolidge and his manager will endeavor to make this next selection one in which only sturdy republicans will be recognized. READ OUT OF PARTY. That is to say that men, who do not stand squarely behind the platform deliverances of the party will be virtually read out of the party. Hon. William M. Butler, the present representative of President Calvin Coolidge is the dominating figure in this convention and his mandates are considered law. Hon. B. Bascom Slemp gives no evidence what ever of his "illy-white" proclivities and he fraternizes with the Negro group upon a basis of equality that reminds one of former days of Republican supremacy. CONFIDENT OF SUCCESS The feeling here is that the Republic (Continued on Page 4 Mrs. Julia Conley announces the marriage of her daughter, Louarthur, to Mr. Byron Stanley Dougall: Wednesday morning June the 18th at ten o'clock, 13 1-2 West Leigh Street, Richmond, Va.

How 20 Prominent Negroes Impressed Me. (By I. J. K. Wells, Pres. A. F. of N. S.—Negro Youth Movement) Louis ille, Kentuckians: 1. Wilson Lovett, President First Standard Bank. 2. W. P. Hughes, President Domestic Life Insurance Co. 3. I. Williss Cole, Editor Louisville Leader. 4. W. H. Wright, President American Mutual Savings Bank Nashville, Tennessee: 5. Hon. J. C. Napier, Ex-Register of Treasury. 6. Prof. J. W. Work, Original Member Famous Fisk Jubliee Quartet. 7. H. A. Boyd, Noted Baptist Publisher. 8. Dr. W. S. Quinland, Race's Greatest Pathologist (Meharry College.) TWO I felt that Nashville would bear leaving. Her quartet composed of that distinguished pathologist, Dr. Quinland, her great Baptist sion Boyd, the Fisk Jubilee Tenor Work, and Uncle Sam's good Ex-Register of the Treasury Napier, could harp harmonies to calm the temper of the furies. So the scene shifted to quaint old St. Louis. I was soon on Market Street, a full-blooded parallel of Beau Street, Wylie Avenue and Philadelphia's South Street. I was looking for the editor of the St. Louis Argus, one of Missouri's moving spirits. His complexion is that of ebony. Five feet, seven inches compasses his height. He was much easier to meet than the stenographic force. Though surrounded by work, he with apparently no effort showed patience and spared the time for me to conclude my mission with him. He has a very pleasant countenance, is polite, and appeared to be thought fully, kind. Few persons of color go to St. Louis without the desire to see the Poro establishment. I found it, but the generous Malones were absent. Summer High School said by many to be the best for Negroes in America was near. I met several of the teachers among them, Miss Althea Merchant. Although beautiful, this is not the quality which ranks her as one of the prominent personages of America. She has brains. We are addicted to the belief that our sorority womanhood is the cream of the world. Miss Merchant. Editor of the Ivy Leaf, Organ of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority shapes the policy of this great organization of womanhood. She is less than thirty light-brown of skin, prepossessing, but gives no evidence of self-exaltation. At the University of Illinois, I met another striking character, Robert R. Taylor. He is not a member of the Phl Beta Kappa, but the Phl Beta Sigma instead. He is not a commencement oror, nor Rhodes scholar. What is more than that he is active and has a constructive mind. He founded the College Dreamer, a first class publication. So impressed was the American Federation of Negro Students with this publication that it negotiated an agreement with Taylor and his staff for the use of this organ as its official spokesman, Taylor is tall, light-skinned, has firm lips, with a countenance suggesting the business man rather than the gay, good-time artist. One will gather that he is a pusher from the fact that he earned nearly two thousand dollars last summer selling stock for a certain colored insurance company of Illinois BOOST OUR YOUTH. These cases are worthy of citation because it illustrates the way our youth are going. They express the trend of the race's movement. I travelled these three thousand miles in the interest of the Negro Youth Movement. We believe in a Bigger and Better Negro Business, and that in order to bring this to pass we must wake up youth to the great possibilities of Negro business. WE ARE A RACE OF LABOR MERCHANTS. Educated youth sells too much labor. "Bob" Taylor, as his friends at Illinois know him, serves to illustrate what might be done by hundreds of our college youth who "red cap," "hotel" and "Pullmanize" for the summer. Negro youth has not learned that selling goods beats selling labor. Sell suits, sell insurance sell hosiery, sell real estate and a hundred other things. The biggest thing that one needs is the courage to dare and the will to pioneer. I have gone into this airing of the Big People I have met with motives other than the purient, vain display of selfishness, which we mortals are "heir to." Personalities are our guide stars. Lincoln was one, Booker T. Washington was one. So is Anthony Overton. Self analysis tells me I take much stock in the use of superlatives. Many of them and good ones too, fit Anthony Overton of Chicago. Previously in discussing Honorable J. C. Napier of Nashville, he was referred to as one who has signed many notes of American currency. These notes were Uncle Sam's. Anthony Overton signs his own, as President of the Douglass National Bank of Chicago. This is the only Negro National Bank in America. You will see some of these Five Dollar Bills again. They are to be cherished and admired, and shown to the neighbors. Colored men stand back of them and more than any one colored man is this Anthony Overton. Overton is a capitalist and an organizer. In addition to this bank he is President and Founder of the Victory Life Insurance Company of Chicago. Who has not heard of "High Brown" face powder and other products of this name? He is creator of these. The Overton Hygienic and Chemical Company is his creature. These establishments look as big and as impressive as they sound. In the offices there are a fleet of secretaries and Overton is back of them all. How would Overton impress one? On the surface he is not distant from the ordinary, yet he, when identified as Overton, is not an astonishing discovery. He has not the classic gotee; is medium sized, and has not the stentorian voice like Richard, the Lion hearted. He is light brown skinned and possibly no kni to the Nordics. I guess his age as 48 or 50, deep lines around his mouth are the furrows, worn by care and character struggles. He impressed me as a character mid-way between the ordinary and the austere. He appears as one who can be talked to, but not slapped on the shoulder. Comparison of two of the Windy City's editors, the power that wields the slashing Whip and the Defender, a national fraternal figure and one of the race's pioneering young men will be discussed next week. WHITE REPUBLICAN ATTACKS NEGRO ASCENDANCY (N. A. A. C. P. Press Service.) An attack upon "Negro ascendancy" in the councils of the Republican Party in the State of Alabama, has been made by the former chairman of the Republican Executive Committee in Montgomery, Alabama. George N. King who charged that at the recent county convention Negroes were not only the majority but had the bad taste to elect people of their own race to the chairmanship of the county committee and other offices. In a published letter Mr. King refers to the "disgusting scenes" of the election and warns Alabama Republics of "how embarrassing it would be to bring out the fact that your county organization was a body of Negroes." Mr. King alleged that the Negro elected to county chairmanship, George Newstall, was an "undertaker," that he carried on a saloon business until forced out by the Federal government and that he owns property padlocked by an injunction from the Federal court. These allegations of Mr. King are contradicted by a correspondent of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, who asserts that Mr. Newstall was never an undertaker, that he was never arrested for any offense, that he carried on a saloon business about fourteen years ago and was legally empowered to do so, and finally, that the property referred to as being closed by Federal injunction was being run by a white man.

IN MOURNFUL FIGURES OF SPEECH, and in a style of narration not unlike that of Hamiet, bereaved Prince of Denmark, an ardent advocate of simon-pure Christianity has written to the Editor of "The Negro World," upon the subject of "Religion." The enthusiastic correspondent delved deeply into his subject, referring to the life of Christ; contrasting His religious philosophies with those of the people of today; lamenting the status of the present-day types of Catholicism, Protestantism, etc.; berrating "the white man's Christianity," as described by him; and closing with the pronouncement that "the sooner Negroes realize that Christ and white Christianity are utterly dissimilar forces, the more rapid will we go forward in every branch of endeavor; and the sooner will we occupy the status of a great race and nation—a status that, looking back to the imperial greatness that was once Africa's, tells us such a position is our rightful heritage." STATING, IN A VOICE which cuivered with emotion, that "Negro Americans are not only fellow human beings, with spirits created in God's image, but they are fellow citizens by birthright, having right to life, liberty, education and the pursuit of those things on which their welfare depends," Congressman Leonidas Carstarphen Dyer, of the Twelfth District of Missouri, addressed the U. S. House of Representatives, on June 4, on the so-called anti-lynching bill, which, on January 19, 1924, was reported favorably from the House Judiciary Committee and placed upon the House Calendar. Mr. Dyer told of his supplementary resolutions asking for immediate consideration of the anti-lynching legislation, and of his request of the Committee on Rules for special action upon the bill, and, after reviewing the legislative history surrounding his first anti-lynching bill, which finally went down before a filibuster, Mr. Dyer explained that the present delay in the consideration of his last bill was because of the opinion expressed by "leaders" that action upon it prior to election would awaken the rumor that politics, rather than good faith, was the motive power behind the attempt to wipe out the lynching fever, so prevalent in certain sections of the country. Such pessimistic utterances, as a foreground, and such heights of desire, as a background, are not uncommon today; in fact, they are on the increase, due to the forgetfulness, even of thinking people, that the doctrine of "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth" is still dominant in the minds of all men, white, black, yellow, red or brown. There is no such "animal" as "the white man's Christianity" and it is a grave mistake to use such a designation. There are, it is true, the selfish aims and desires of all men. There is the aborted church institution so different, no doubt, from that of Jesus Christ. His institution, nevertheless, still reigns triumphant; and it is for us here, be what color we may, to transplant its virtues to the churches of men. Coming from a man of the sincerity and initiative of Congressman Dyer, it must be true that political influences have skidded off the highway of science on to the boulevard traversed by the flesh and bones of a goodly portion of America's human content, and 'tis a shame that a land so brave and free should be the habitat of "leaders" who could not give assurance that good faith has far more virtue than good politics; for, as to an anti-lynching measure, it is just as Mr. Dyer said when he pointed out that "the need for it is great, and there is no GOOD EXCUSE for us to fail to enact the law. There, as the Brooklyn correspondent avers, many injustices disguised by the robes of a so-called Christian people. These are, however, mere artifices of man, not God, in man's onward march to the "imperial greatness," so enthusiastically described by the Brooklyn correspondent. And, there is the same bitterness in the hearts of many people of many religious sects as there is in the heart of our Brooklyn correspondent when he utters his desire that "we should occupy the status of a great race," and thus partake of our "rightful heritage." Even since January 1, 1924, Florida, Georgia and South Carolina have reinscribed their names in the lynching ledger, and, judging from past history, there is a waiting list of "prospective" mobbists who will disclose their identities almost any time, in which case, "good politics" will certainly be charged with a fearful responsibility. There is solace, however, in the knowledge that Mr. Dyer is on duty, and that despite the murmurings of politicians, he is ready at all times to equal or exceed his past record of service to his state and to his nation, the Negro content of which, says Mr. Dyer "is in American life TO STAY." There is neither greatness nor a heritage in simon-pure Christianity, save the greatness of Faith, Hope and Charity. When men throw stones at these virtues, any greatness they would achieve takes rapid flight, and reminds us once again that like things can be compared only with like things. Hence, there can be no comparison between the Religion of Jesus and the doings of men, white or black. This is not the test of Christianity's progress. ALTHOUGH NO FORMAL ANNOUNCEMENT will be made, it is almost time for the "open-hunting" season to begin. With the Republican Convention over, and but meagre interest, so far as the BRETHREN are concerned, in the Democratic Convention, "hunting" has practically begun in earnest. It is a reciprocal pasttime, with classes and masses as actors in the busy arena of political life. Aside from the civic duty which prompts a candidate to sacrifice his personal career and the things he loves most for the stern call of service to his country, there are some attractive incidentals which are attached, in a thread-like way, to the emoluments of office. To these things the classes do not always turn a blind eye in their "hunt" for national honors. On the other hand, certain representatives of the masses are not too indolent to use field glasses, if necessary, in "hunting" for a twin-soul in the classes who believes that fair exchange is no robbery, even though the exchange may never take place. See List of Prizes on Page 3 We met a BROTHER the other day, who hailed from one of the storm centers of political strife, and he was most loquacious in his observations, which pursued the following trend of thought: "Mr. Cameraman," said he, "I'm sorter suspicious this year. Just after last 'lection I came all the way to Washington to hunt for a job which was supposed to be a 'sure thing.' Didn't I deliver my whole ward last 'lection? I sure did; 'n I was even promised transportation to Washington and 'ncidental expenses; but when I got here, I was referred and referred and referred to first one person and another, until I forgot where I started. Beside my money gave out, and the Madam would not send me a cent to get home. I dunno whether Bill Smith queered me or not, 'cause, at the last moment I wouldn't sign the resolutions which our club agreed to take to the convention. I couldn't do that, 'cause my groceryman told me they'd never do. Of course, I couldn't tell Bill Smith that; but he ughta' known it. The man we put up for Congress, he was 'lected. On the morning of 'lection, he 'hunted' me up and told me he'd have my brother appointed on the police force; but he's still working down at the stockyards. Then, Mirandy, she got mixed up with the women at the sewing circle, and she bawled out Ham Jones' wife because he wouldn't let 'em meet over his lunch room. Then Ham said he wouldn't vote for our man. Even at that, though, we put the ticket over; but the very first Sunday after 'lection, Rev. Johnson preached a sermon against our man. Said he was a 'wet.' Well, that wasn't anything because I'd given Rev. Johnson's wife some stuff to put in the mince pies at Christmas, and the preacher didn't kick over them a darned bit. Maybe they're through with all of us this year. Well, I'm going to 'hunt' up that guy, and if he's still sure he can arrange it for me to get them pigs this fall, I'm going to stand by his man. Good-bye, be sure to hunt me up, I'm on the inside, and I might know something." And we picked up the camera and departed homeward. VIRGINIA: In Hastings Court Part II.

Some people are weak-minded, just as some others are in possession of a strong mind. Envious folks essay to injure others, while taking retrograding steps themselves in so doing. People, who accomplish much are usually persons with high tempers and a disposition to get angry quickly. Yes, we do get "rilled" with our own people sometimes and feel inclined to repeat in our own way much that some white folks say about them. People who believe in God and in His power will never die of a broken heart or suffer much from any failure in an undertaking. Praising white folks is doubly as beneficial to colored folks as is the habit of abusing. Care should be exercised in awarding praise, and more care in meeting condemnation. People, who say they want to go to Africa spend most of their time urging other people to go there. When it comes to their turn to go that route, they are usually lost in the crowd and it takes a life-time to find them and force them to go there. The doctor seldom wants to take his own medicine and the surgeon fears his own knife. --- We have received a copy of the fine souvenir publication issued by Virginia Union University, under the caption of "Virginia Union University and some of Her Achievements: Twenty-fifth Anniversary, 1899-1924."

Knight in its issue of the 7th inst., for his attack on the proposition to create a commission to deal with the racial question. He places him in the category with Hon. Hoke Donithin of "no Negro delegate to the Republican National Convention fame." While not specifically committing himself to the commission plan Editor Smith shows that both of these gentlemen have radical antipathies to the colored people in this country. This distinguished Ohioan is making a record-breaking fight and is pursuing a consistent course throughout. His support and the support of his host of friends are absolutely necessary to com plete Republican success in the Buckeye State and we hope, in view of the patriotic work done at Cleveland by the great Republican organization in according to Negroes proper recognition, the breach may be healed and the principles for which this great leader has been contending duly recognized in his own State. THE TROUBLE WITH JAPAN. The Immigration Law, excluding the Japanese from this country, which law will be effective in this particular July 1, 1925 has raised a furore in Japan and untold comment on this side of the Pacific. The oncoming presidential election has had much to do with the outcome and if the matter could have been delayed until after next November, some way might have been found to sooth the outraged feeling of the best in Nippon. The issue is primarily one of race and color. It is the opinion of the people on the Pacific Coast that the Japanese cannot be assimilated. That is to say that intermarriage between the inhabitants of Japan and the white residents of this country is not desirable. It is this color question that is stirring the upper classes of Japanese to undisguised anger. They simply demand the same rights and privileges in this country as are accorded to the citizens or subjects of the other Great Powers. The incident will not lead directly to war but future trouble along some other lines will be accentuated by the incident and a rupture that might otherwise be avoided may become certain on account of our present attitude. Moreover, it will tend to disturb our trade relationship with Japan. It is probable that the balance of trade with this country is in our favor at present, but already a movement is on foot to deal with other countries to the exclusion of American products. This is where "the shoe pinches" at the present time and there is but little doubt, but what the pain will increase as the months go by. The end is neither near nor nigh. WILLS' FIRST ANTAGONIST. No pugilist in recent years has received a worse beating than that given Bartley Madden, white in his gruelling contest with Harry Wills, the colored heavy-weight fighter June 10th in the New Queensboro Stadium at Long Island, New York. The bout last fifteen rounds and at the conclusion, Maden, while able to stand was one mass of bloody flesh about the head. Harry Wills, smiling and without any injury accepted the decision of victory from the judges based upon points. Bartley Madden went into the contest to take a beating. No one believed that he would be on his feet at the conclusion of the contest and that he was, gave him the favor of the vast crowd despite his defeat. Tommy Gibbons had stood up ten rounds against Jack Dempsey and made a much better showing than Madden. Still, Harry Wills won a hollow victory and many of his friends and admirers are wondering what it all means. He obeyed the orders of his managers implicitly. He was tired only from his own exertions and at no time was he in any danger at the hands of his plucky antagonist. Was he ordered not to knock Bartley Madden out? The latter claims never to have been either knocked out or knocked down. He is a proverbial punching bag, to receive punishment and not to give any. Was Harry Wills concealing his real ability as a fighter and did he extend himself in this contest? This is a question which must be answered. That some of his white backers understand the situation is evident. Tex Rickard announces that the result of the contest will not materially interfere with his plans for matching Wills against Luis Firpo and as the elimination contest included one other fighter besides Madden, a question mark is now seen all over the country and the public will await with keen interest, the result of the next boxing contest. Certainly one of the men named has been eliminated. How about the next one? Let us all wait patiently and see. THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM It begins to look as though the Republican National Convention at Cleveland is carrying the organization back to its own land-marks, with the idea of having it start out on a campaign of great principles that will not only awaken old memories, but will arouse the patriotic spirit in the members of that organization. Standing squarely upon the principles of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States, the wandering about in the wilderness of wild ideas and selfish propagandas will soon be naught but a memory. Many voters, who have left the party will return and some who are in it for special purposes will leave it. The out look is encouraging. President Calvin Coolidge has contributed much to the consummation of this ideal and is taking a long step forward in the matter of unselfish leadership. The platform is a document which will attract much THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA notice. Some of us may not agree in full with all of its provisions, but where fundamental principles are not involved, it behooves the minority to bow to the will of the majority. One of the most potent statements of achievement is contained in the following: "We believe that the achievement of the Republican administration in reducing taxation by $1,250,000,000 per annum; reducing of the public debt by $2,432,000,000; installing a budget system; reducing the public expenditures from $5,500,000,000 per annum to approximately $3,400,000,000 per annum; thus reducing the ordinary expenditures of the government to substantially a pre-war basis; and the complete restoration of public credit; the payment of refunding of seven and a half billions of public obligations without disturbance of credit or industry, all during the short period of three years—presents a record unsurpassed in the history of public finance. This statement of fact is unanswerable and with no other statement in the platform, President Calvin Coolidge could confidently make his appeal for election to the electorate of the country. With reference to the colored people, the platform reads: "We urge the Congress to enact at the earliest possible date a Federal anti-lynching law so that the full influence of the Federal government may be wielded to exterminate this hideous crime. We believe that much of the misunderstanding which now exists can be eliminated by humane and sympathetic study on its causes. The President has recommended the creation of a commission for the investigation of social and economic conditions and the promotion of mutual understanding and confidence. This is a plank that will be appreciated by the justice loving citizens, North as well as South, East as well as West. From an impartial view-point this platform is a masterly piece of parliamentary building. RAYO THEATRE RUNS SUMMER POLICY. FEOPLES POPULAR THEATRE PLAYING MOVIES AT 10 AND 20 CENTS. The Rayo Theatre, which has won a warm spot in everyone's heart for the good shows and courteous treatment as handed out by the Management, has changed its policy for the Summer Months, and starting this week the Rayo will open its doors every night at 7 P. M. and run continuously until 11 P. M. No Matines will be given during the Summer. The program will consist of the very best pictures on the market and the price will be 20 sents for grown ups and 10 cents for children. Monday and Tuesday, a Feature Picture and a News Reel will be shown. Wednesday and Thursday, a Double Feature and a Comedy; and Friday and Saturday a Western Feature and a Serial will be shown. Complete change of pictures on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Monday and Tuesday June 16th and 17th, the program will be "Smiling Hate" and "Stepping High." Two Big Features Made by All Star Cast of Colored Artists. By Special arrangement with the producers the Rayo has obtained the startling film, "Where Are My Children" and will show this wonderful picture on Friday and Saturday, June 20-21st. Due to the very delicate nature of this picture, Men and Women will not be admitted to the Rayo at the same performance, so separate shows will be given for Men only and Women only. It is said that this picture is far more instructive than "Wild Oats." Every man and woman in the city should see "Where Are My Children," as it answers in a frank, forceful way one of the most vital questions of the day. URGES FEDERAL CONTROL FOR HOWARD UNIVERSITY (Preston News Service) WASHINGTON, D. C., June 13.—Federal supervision of Howard University, through the Bureau of Education, is proposed in a bill introduced in the House last Tuesday by Representative Cramton, Republican of Michigan. "The University is performing a very important and effective work of a truly national character," Mr. Cramton said. "The limited supervision by the Bureau of Education, which I propose, will be helpful." "The appointment of the trustees by the President is a deserved recognition of the institution and is further desirable because of the Federal contribution which the bill authorizes. That authorization is of real importance, the continued welfare of the institution being often menaced by points of order, the appropriations which have been made annually for forty years or more being without statutory authority."

After waiting thirteen years and have not suffered from the horrible disease, Gravel, I desire to make a statement to L. J. Hayden. Thirteen years ago twelve leading physicians of my city treated me for Kidney trouble and gravel with the desired benefit. These doctors admiSED me to be greater as that was the only chance for me. I was to have and get some of L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicine and try to be more operated on. I did so, and in twenty-four hours after using his medicine I passed at least a half dozen gravel, some as big as a large pea. Since that time I have not suffered with the gravel. I highly recommend L. J. Hayden's medicine to all suffering humanity. I am. J. A. PAGE. 4 Auburn Ave., Richmond Va. this famous institute.

COOLIDGE NOMINATED (Continued from page 1) can National Convention is naming the next President of the United States. Hon. William J. Bryan is a. notable figure and he is taking a profound in terrest in the happenings here occupying as he does a seat in the newspaper reservation. The declination of some of the leading Republicans to enter the race for the office of Vice-President has delayed matters. Only a man, who stands on "all fours" with President Coolidge and his policies would dare accept in view of the attitude of the Convention. CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 10.—The migration of tens of thousands of colored people from points south of the Mason and Dixon line to sections N. of that line has had positive effect in the obliteration of the color line and in the according to colored delegates equal and exact justice in the matter of representation. The action of the Republican National Committee in usecasing the Mississippi delegation under National Committeeman M. J. Mulvihill, representing the "illy white contingent in favor of Perry W. Howard, Esq., the well-known colored attorney and those affiliated with him, emphasizes this fact. TWO PERMANENT LEADERS. Mr. Howard is Assistant United YOUNG MEN!! 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 gotten 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 B. Grace St., Richmond, Va. States Attorney-General and is one of the most influential leaders in the country. The vote in the credentials committee was overwhelming. Immediately after the decision, the majority of the delegation from Mississippi met and elected Perry W. Howard national committeeman. There were five colored men and two white, composing the gaucus. The delegation headed by Henry Lincoln Johnson, national committee man from Georgia was seated today over the faction led by J. L. Phillips. "White-woman" politician from Georgia. Henry Lincoln Johnson is an able attorney and politically speaking ranks head and shoulders above any other colored leader in the country today. STRONG BACKING There are many others just as able, but he is in the lime-light at the national capital and here at this convention. With Perry W. Howard as an associate with him on the Republican National Committee, he will be able to accomplish wonders for the colored people in side of the Republican Party of the nation. Both are backed by some of the strongest colored organizations ever in existence in this country. The situation here among the colored leaders in Ohio is very unsatisfactory, but positive efforts will be made to bring them all in line for the ticket. The only democratic nominee, who could seriously affect the situation would be in Ohio is very unsatisfactory, but Governor "Al" Smith of New York, NEGRO-HATERS SIDE-TRACKED The "lily white" contingent has been forced into a back seat and there is no more chance of securing consideration on the race issue solely than there is to insert a pro-ku klux klan plank in the Republican platform.

STATUS OF ANTI- LYNCHING BILL IN CONGRESS TODAY N. A. A. C. P. SECRETARY MAKES STATEMENT ON DYER BILL. Would Prevent Bill Being Made A Political Football in the Coming Campaign. NEW YORK, June 9.—James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the National Association for the Advance ment of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue, today made the following statement on the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bul: The Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill is still on the calendar as House Bill Number 1. The resolution for a rule to make it a special order of business is still in the House Committee on Rules. No report on the Resolution has yet been made. With sufficient pressure a rule could have been secured, we believe, from the Committee, and it is possible that the Bill might have been jammed through the House before the adjournment of Congress. But this course was not pursued for the following reasons: 1. The plans made by the leaders contemplated the adjournment of Congress the early part of June. 2. We realized that there was absolutely no possibility of getting any action on the Bill in the Senate before the adjournment of Congress, even if it had been passed by the House. This was because of the disorganized condition of the Senate due to investigations, etc. We felt that the passage of the Bill by the House and the adjournment of Congress before the Senate could act, would have the effect of making the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill a factional political issue and a bait for colored votes without any definite assurance of action by the Senate on the re-assembling of Congress. We shall move strongly for passage of this legislation by both houses immediately upon the re-convening of Congress.

M. E. CHURCH ABOBISHES JOB HELD BY I. GARLAND PENN. (Preston News Service.) SPRINGFIELD, Mass., June 12.—At the recent meeting of the general conference of the M. E. Church here the Board of Education for Negroes was abolished. It is said the conference took the matter up after it had first been considered in a council made up of Negro delegates, in which Dr. Penn fought for his board to be continued. But under the double blow of its uselessness and his alleged misma-agement of schools it was agreed by a two to one vote that the board should be abolished. The results of the conference's action places the Negro schools under the same management as the white schools. Dr. Penn was severely criticised for his heartless and inconsiderate treatment of an aged educator, it is sale, who had given his life to school work of the church. Among other things cited against Dr. Penn was the cost of the construction of a school at Atlanta and the purchase of the school properties at Meridan, Miss. SHAW HOLDS COMMENCEMENT.

ARKANSAS LANDLORDS URGED TO REFORM BY INVESTIGATOR (Preston News Service) LITTLE ROCK, Ark., June 13. Arkansas landlords must change the present operating system or continue to lose the Negro tenant farmer and laborer, according to a report submitted to T. A. Wilson, commissioner by a Negro farm agent, graduate of Tuskegee Institute, employed to influence Negroes to return to the farms. "Once the Negro has moved to the city, or gone North, there is little hope of having him return to the farm," the agent reported after several weeks' thorough investigation among those who have migrated to the city. The agent recommends substitution of cash for the present credit system; education to raise food and feed stuffs in addition to cotton; encouragement of home ownership; elimination of over charging; good churches and schools; vigorous restrictions of crime and immorality and better homes. The agent also said, despite high wages received in northern industrial centers, the Negro is dissatisfied with crowded conditions. The agent also stated that the Negro did not leave the farms of the south willingly. The Negro farmer is often overcharged to what he buys and underpaid for what he sells. In his report to Mr. Wilson, the agent tells of numerous complaints. No Negro canvassed made complaint of assault or threats by white men, he said. Before the employment of a Negro agent, the Labor Department made a effort to persuade the surplus Negro labor in the larger cities to move to the farm. The idle Negroes gave little attention, according to Mr. Wilson, and the plan of having a Negro work among them was adopted. The unemployed were given the opportunity of visiting prospective farms without cost. More than 500 were interviewed, but only 47 indicated that they cared to return to the farms. Many families were induced to return to farming by private agents of the large planters. Frequently the families refused to return, though the men were persuaded, according to the agent. The Negro women received little or nothing for their hard work on farms while in the city they get pay for their labor and the children have the opportunity of attending good schools. PEHENY W.

RICKARD NOT RUSHING INTO A FIRPOWILLS GO. NEW YORK, June 10.—Though Harry Wills suffered a sharp set-back in prestige in the opinion of most critics, when he failed to knock out Bartley Madden last night at the Queensboro Stadium, the giant Negro heavyweight remains in the front rank of title contenders and probably will not lose his chance to pave the way for a fight with Jack Dempsey. Tex Rickard intimated today that the result of the Madden-Wills bout would not alter his proposal to match the big Negro in an elimination test with Luis Firpo at Boyle's Thirty Acres 18 August, but declared his plans were yet indefinite. There were growing indications, meanwhile, that Wills, even if he hurdles Firpul will not be matched with Dempsey before next season, if then. Jack Kearns, manager of the champion, insisted today that he still was open for a "big shot," but turned down an offer of $150,000 from the Queensboro A. C., for a match in July with Madden, and intimated he would abandon plans for any bouts this year unless he comes to a definite agreement with Rickard within the next few days. Dempsey's motion picture engagement is taking an increasing amount of his time. Kearns added. Critics today as a result of Wills' disappointing showing against his rugged Irish opponent, generally voiced the view that the glint Negro seemed slow ed and lacked the speed and the devastating punch popularly credited to him. Wills had Madden in distress several times, but his hardest blow failed to bring the veteran down. ANNIVERSARY EXERCISES AT VIRGINIA NORMAL, PETERSB'G Dr. R. R.

TX JACK DEMPSEY WILL NOT DEFEND TITLE THIS YEAR, REPORT (Preston News Service) NEW YORK, June 12.—Jack Dempsey will not defend his heavyweight crown, this year if Tex Rickard goes through with his plans for a match between the titleholder's two outstanding rivals—Harry Wills and Luis Angel Firpo. This much was disclosed last week by the promoter, who explained that inability to sign Firpo for a match with Wills before August 20, precludes any possibility of arranging a championship contest for the winner with Dempsey. Rickard however, asserted that he might abandon the Wills Firpo contest for the long-waited title bout between the titleholder's two outstanding heavyweight attraction for the year. The promoter asserted he had determined to stage only one major match, but as yet has not decided which to conduct. Rickard has Wills signed for battles with either Firpo or Dempsey. He also has come to terms with Jack Kearns manager of Dempsey, for title fights with either Wills or Firpo. Firpo recently emerged from his retirement to announce that he had accepted Rickard's offer of $250,000 for a Wills's fight. HAROLD CHINN BREAKS INTERSCHOL. RECORD (Preston News Service.)

June 12.—The greatest south-paw find of many seas ons is thought to have been uncovered in Greer, the 20-year old southern lad. who came to Pittsburgh with the Brook lyn Cuban Giants and remained to play with the Pittsburgh Giants. Greer went with the Giants to Akron Ohio Sunday. In the first inning poot umpiring and an error, coupled with his own wildness, put him in a hola, and three runs were tailed for the opponents. From then on he had the dangorous Ohioans eating out of his hand. With wonderful control, a fast ball, a slow ball, and a curve and a drop that reminds one of "Letty" Williams, his action on the mound according to "Pep" Young, catcher and captain on the Giants is a 'thing of beauty and joy forever." Out of the 17 games in which he started Greer has won 15. Unassuming and with a bearing of the gentleman.

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA ATHLETIC PAGE 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.

Director Washington who is Executive Secretary of the Arm strong Association of Philadelphia, is nationally known for his efforts in behalf of the race. He holds degrees from Tufts, Howard and Columbia Universities. A trained social worker, Mr. Washington has been associated with the United States Department of Labor the National Urban League, the Detroit Welfare Federation and Welfare movements in other cities. He placed the first Negro employees with the Detroit Motor plants and later he found employment for thousands of others in the same shops. As past worshipful master of the Dorio Lodge A. F. A.

He has held positions as Principal of the Normal Department of Philander Smith College, Arkansas; vice principal of the Manassas Industrial School, Virginia; Community worker and director of athletics, Cheyney Training School for Teachers, Pennsylvania; superintendent of the State Employment Bureau, New York City.

STATE-WIDE SURVEY OF RACE RELATIONS IN PENNSYLVANIA Forrester B. Washington and Prince L. Edwoods Appointed by Governor Pinchot. (Preston News Service.) HARRISBURG, Pa., June 13—A survey of the conditions affecting the race in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has been officially started. On June 15, Governor Pinchot appointed Forrester B. Washington, Director of this survey, and Prince L. Edwoods Assistant and Field-Worker. Dr. Ellen C. Potter, Secretary of Public Welfare, introduced these two men to state officials at a meeting here on June 2nd. One unusual feature of this survey is the plan of the directors to call together representative Negro citizens in each community for advice and counsel before the local investigation is started and to assemble them again later to consider the findings and to assist in the making of final recommendations. This is a new and practical innovation in survey work. Other unique features of this survey will be the attempt to accomplish actual benefits for the race while the in investigation is going on. For instance, the industrial capabilities of the Negro worker will be widely advertised in the smaller industrial centers where they are not so well known as in Pittsburgh and to a certain degree in Phila delphia. It is probably true that if the industrial efficiency of Negroes were generally known, they would be eager accepted by many employers in the state who are now worried by the shortage of labor caused by the restriction of immigration. In addition, farming opportunities will be sought in order to provide an outlet from the fluctuating conditions in the larger cities. The housing problem, one of the most difficult with which the Negro has to contend, will be given considerable attention, according to Mr. Washington. For a long time the colored race has been the victim of a certain type of real estate sharks because it could not help itself. A more equitable distribution throughout the state will probably contribute toward the solution of this If your hair is beautiful you will be beautiful.
