BASCOM SLEMP RESIGNS POST VOLUME XLI, NO. 31 ALLEGED SLEN Virginia Chief Breach Face WASHINGTON, D. C., June 18.— Outwardly unchanged the tense situation created by the open breach between C. Bascom Slemp, former Republican dictator of Virginia, and secretary to President Coolidge, since the death of President Harding, is bolling beneath the surface between the President and his secretary. The row is also causing comment and a division of allegiance in Republican ranks to some extent. SITUATION IS WARMER. Things are warmer, but in no sense fairer, between President Coolidge backed by the group of Massachusetts politicians who wish unharmed control of his campaign and Secretary Slep. It would be only natural if the Massachusetts group has the President's ear, since the include tried and true party men who have been intimately associated with the President since his advent into political life. With this group it has long been patent that Secretary Slep is at loggerheads, and the break definitely came at the Cleveland convention, when the trouble and humiliation which developed ed over the selection of a Vice-President was attributed by Mr. Slep to bungling. The trouble was not mended by the accidental selection of a running mate not congenial to the President. Mr. Slep has been selected as a sort of secretary extraordinary. Former secretaries had been content to be buffers for the President and managers of the more intimate details of his campaign. Mr. Slep was selected as the man who could deliver anything worth having from a Republican standpoint in the South, and he was selected at a time when it appeared likely the Coolidge management could not afford to over-look anything. TRACE BREACH TO SLEMP. When news of the break was first published by a newspaper which is a sort of court chronicle of the administration, no names were mentioned and speculation at first centured about the probability of Herbert Hoover, Secretary of Commerce, who twice refused the post of Vice-Pres. and Secretary of War Weeks, who was said to be disgruntled at the course events and taken at the convention. It was not until the next day that the fact was established. Mr. Slemp was the man likely to get out shortly. There is still no official confirmation of the break as far as the principles are concerned. It is generally regarded as desirable in the highest degree that no further rifts occur in the Presi dent's official family before the campaign. The advisory committee to which it is said Mr. Slemp will devote his talents is a new thing in Republican administrative machinery, and is believed to have been created more to save the situation than anything else. It is even claimed that Mr. Slemp is done with active work for the administration, preferring to leave that to advisors who, in his opinion, obtain alrer consideration. FORCED TO BOW TO CLIQUE. Mr. Slemp's absence from Washington was said by him to be occasioned by the illness of a relative. A later statement spoke of the need of a vacation. At any rate his departure followed closely upon a clear intimation from the White House that National Chairman William M. Butler and not the new advisory committee would have active control of the campaign. Mr. Slemp while extremely prudent in speech, is known to be a stickler for its official prerogatives and to be intolerant of interference. Among some of his Republican colleagues the opinion expressed that he had no choice but submit to dictation of a Massachusetts clique, or to come an open bracket with his chief and that he probably is not diminished his chances of a blunt post in the event of Republican access at the polls, by his recent and by T. D. Ranson in the Richmond Times-Dispatch. Phoned Picture From Convention Above are shown C. Bascom Slemp, Secretary to the President, and Congressman Nicholas Longworth, the late President Roosevelt's son-in-law, at the Cleveland office, by telephone and was on New York streets in less than one hour after being taken in Cleveland. THE FUNERAL OF MRS. HADEN the funeral of Mrs. Betsie Haden, beloved wife of Mr. R. L. Haden, who departed this life Thursday, June 12th at 1:15 o'clock at her home. 31 Midlothian Pike took place last Sunday at 1 o'clock at the First Baptist Church. She had been a faithful member for a number of years and the edifice was packed with sympathizing friends from far and near. Rev. A. L. Britton delivered the funeral eulogy and he spoke of the deceased in complimentary terms, having known her all her life. His subject was: "Be Strong in the Grace that is in Jesus Christ." Resolutions of condolence were read from Hobson Lodge of Samaritans, Golden Branch of Y. M. L. and U. Order of Menalkis, Sunshine Lodge of N. I. B. S.

HICHMOND BOY APPOINTED TO FREEDMEN'S WITH HIGH RATING Dr. Daniel Webster Davis, Jr., son of the late Rev. D. Webster Davis, a member of the graduating class in Medicine of Howard University has had a signal honor conferred upon him by being selected among the "choice few," to internship at Freedman's Hospital, Washington, D.C. with a very high rating. Besides ranking very high in the competitive examination Dr. Davis was practically assured his place because of his brilliant record all thru school, his personality and pronounced ability for team work and leadership and as is often said of him, his faculty for keeping cool under fire." Dr. Davis is well known in this city in business, social and athletic circles, is a graduate of Virginia Union University and former member of the faculty of his Alma Mater. The young physician takes up his duties at Freedman's July 1st of this year and will serve for one year after which he will specialize in diseases of the heart and lungs and practice in Virgina. This climax to a brilliant collegiate and medical school career was no surprise to hosts of Richmond people, who have been following the young man closely to determine whether he is destined to deserve the description "chip off the old block," very little dute can be offered to this at present. He enters upon his new duties with the best wishes of all of Richmond behind him. HAY—AUGUSTUS.

ATLANTA, Ga., June 18.—Jim Democrat, the old Cobb County Negro who drove the attending physician to the McAdoo home on the night that William G. McAdoo was born, is to accompany the Georgia delegation to the Democratic National Convention in New York according to announcement today by Judge Newt Morris of Marietta delegate at large to the convention. Judge Morris states that the old Neo gro will be provided with a new "stove pipe" hat and will be bedded with streamers. The Georgia delegation has provided Jim with a huge placard, on which is printed the following: "Jim Democrat is my name, of Marietta, Georgia—the Birthplace of William Gibbs McAdoo, am an old expire dangery man. I love the attending physician to the McAdoo home on the night that William Gibbs McAdoo was born. I came here with the Georgia delegation to see him nominated for President. Won't you vote for him?" CTED L CRIME. k.--A Murder The Police ve. The finding of the body of Mrs. Violet Sydnor, white, aged 23 years of 10:16 Semmes Street, South Richmond floating in the dock at the foot of 22nd Street Tuesday morning led the authorities to suspect foul play and her alleged husband, Walter Sydnor, 23 years of age is being sought. It developed that Sydnor had another wife living on 22nd Street, Church hill. The body had been in the water about three days A MINUTE DESCRIPTION: The dead woman is about five feet seven inches tall and weighs about 180 pounds. She had dark bobbed hair and was tastefully, although scantily dressed. When found, she was hatters wore a blue crepe de chine dress with gold cord sweater to the border of several lower ruffles; no petticoat, purple pants under waist and bloomers and supporting girdle, silk shockings and black satin slippers about size 5. Even though her face was swollen from being several days in the water, it is obvious that she was strikingly pretty. The woman wore two rings, one an orange blossom wedding ring, with no identification marks on it and one a gold ring set with a red stone. HEAD CUT. SKULL FRACTURED: That Mrs. Sydnor was murdered and her body thrown in the dock is the theory upon which the police are working. Severe scalp acessions and one blow that fractured the skull bear out the theory that the woman had been brutally beaten with a heavy, blunt instrument before being consigned to the muddy stream. The fact that no water was found in the lungs indicates, according to physicians that the woman was dead before her body was thrown into the dock. At this writing Sydnor had not been apprehended. Y. W. C. A. NOTES. ON TO KINGS MOUNTAIN, N. C. The Richmond delegation will leave for the National Girl Reserve Conference convening at Kings Mountain, N.C. Monday June 23rd at 10:20 P.M. Main Street Station. Most of the girls that make up the number are girls who have joined the organization six months ago. Will this be a wonderful opportunity for these girls—an expert ence in camping, fellowship work, study, living life, which they can never forget. An experience which will be rich with the elements that make a worth while life. The delegates elected and who will probably attend are: Misses Alice Spindle, Blue Triangle Clubs Helen Foy. Constance Turpin, Violet Smith1, Armstrong High G.R.; Flosse Parker Geneva Hinton. R.I.C. It is hoped that this number will be doubled. Miss M. Sydney Mayo. Adviser Armstrong G.R. Club. Dr. Bessie B. Tharps, Miss Viola L. F. Chaplain, secretary will be the leaders from Richmond. Misses Clarissa V. Kryls and B.C. Edmunds who were appointed Head Councilor by Conference Division of the National Board will not be able to attend because of Summer School work.

INSTALLMENT NO. 4 Men seldom venture to inquire or search beyond their needs. Quite every rustic reader in America has pored over the pages of the Chica go Blade and Ledger, and what reader, urban or rural, who has not seen or heard of the Saturday Evening Post? The greater marvel is that only a scant few can tell the name of the editor of either of these widely known publications. The same is true of the editor of The Chicago Whip? What is his name? Where did he originate, and what does he look like? His name is J. L, Bibb, and to the writer his origin is unknown. To be candid, judging from the choppy name of his paper, I expected to find a person whose actions were images of "The Whip." The anticipation lacked much of being the wrongest ever connived at. His expressions were natural, and most forceful. In conversation his words are incisive. His actions decisive. Instead of talking his point to a conclusion, he whips them there. We often refer to southwesterners as having drawing accents. In speed we might say they are as graceful as elephants. Here, however, was an example wholly a contrast. This editor impressed in this regard as being a bluster. Ordinarily Mr. Bibb takes a position which is anything but natural. He is thoughtful, considerate and quite easy to talk to, but by no means stingy with criticism. One interviewing him will probably agree that he has a crystal clear heart. He feels that he knows what he is talking about and hasn't any reluctance in giving voice to his view of the question, usually couched in choice words dynamized to the point. He is further, the possessor of the great quality of FRANKNESS. Those who have been unfortunate as to fail in their jobs or their help are, likely to hold, this opinion. VISITS "WORLD'S GREATEST At the office of The Defender one has quite a different personality in Editor Robert S. Abbott. In him I expected to discover, at least a 200-pound gathering of protoplasm. Instead Mr. Abbott falls about forty pounds short of the two century mark. His voice is soft, somewhat paternal, and was certainly raised in Dixie where hurried words were not survival elements. Apparently one cannot storm the citadel of his acquaintance in a moment. His good graces must be acquired instead of captured. No matter how gained, he has ability to repose responsibility upon the officers of his enterprise. He refers all business connected with his newspaper to his general manager, Phil A. Jones. Try to talk business of this description with R. S. Abbott and he is as pliant as a deep sea clam. One is sure to stiffly encounter that "see my lawyer" attitude. Qualities and rules of this kind, per haps, account for the success of the Chicago Defender. Upon the surface he is not enthusiastic nor does he appear to be as aggressive and persevering as he had to be to accomplish that which he has. His face is not easily read. Whereas many every-day porters have Chesterfieldian bearing and kingly mainly this Windy City Scribe is diametrically opposite. His real achievements are greater than his physique and face would rate him upon inspection. OTHER BIG MEN There are in virile Chicago other torch bearers of progress besides editors and bankers. I should like to discuss Colonel Franklin A. Denison and Dr. George Cleveland Hall but humanity finds such savory interest in new things that it shall be introduced to two lesser known, yet, notwithstanding, doughy members of the race.

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA COLORFUL NEWS "MOVIES" 1—CONSTITUTIONAL "ENFORCEMENT." 3—A NEEDLESS DEBATE. FOLLOWING CLOSELY UPON Senator Bayard's statement in the U.S. Senate that had "fair consideration been given the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments" by the States, he questions whether they would have been ratified, Congressman George Holden Tinkham, of Massachusetts, has again come to the front with a demand for enforcement of the Fourteenth Amendment. Mr. Tinkham referred to the Prohibitic Amendment, and then said that "free government has no greater menace than unequal enforcement or continual violation of law." Upon reflection, the remarks from the two statesmen form trends of thought which are quite at variance. The Senator refers to the "rush and hurry" which accompanied legislation bringing about the passage of the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments; and the Congressman, holding that the preliminaries of amending the Constitution having become immaterial, prays for equal enforcement of each and every amendment. IA national conscience, pricked to the core, did probably speed up national legislation following the Civil War, and it may be that some haste was unintentionally permitted to involve certain national legislation which was passed during the sixties and seventies. A subsequent consideration by the States in the South, however, has, as Mr. Tinkham says, "virtually nullified" the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments. In practically every instance, evasive phrases, which have been incorporated into State statutes, have acted as an elastic band to the Constitution, and at this period of time, when American citzens are preparing to go to the polls and designate the gentlemen who are to be in charge of amending the Constitution during the four-year period beginning with March 4, 1925, it is not difficult to note the contrast between the attitudes of the Senator and the Congressman. "Enforcement"—the magic word—applied or not applied, according to the sentiment of each State, is needed as never before. And there is no reason why the Eighteenth Amendment should be any more famous than the Fourteenth and Fifteenth, except when it is remembered that the former affects nearly everybody, while the latter affects only a meagre one-tenth of our population. A poor reason is that. NEGRO GRADUATES of classes of 1924 are facing a future far brighter than any that has ever been available to their predecessors; and we were glad to note the optimistic note in Prof. Kelly Miller's column regarding Howard University's 1924 contribution to art, science, medicine, law, etc. Without attempting to "poach" upon the ground of any commencement orator, but feeling that, perhaps, in some lonely corner there may be a graduate "rarin'" to reach Miss Opportunity, but not quite sure, in a general way, just where She resides, we take this occasion to give a little advice. School teachers are "short." If you're well equipped, you will have but little difficulty in being placed. If you're not informed about schools, write to the U. S. Bureau of Education, Washington, D. C. and procure its bulletin on "Negro Schools in the U. S.," prepared under the direction of Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones. If you're trained in the arts and trades of industry, get in touch with the Employment Manager of any large industry, and file your application. If you're in doubt as to how to do this, go to the Public Library in your city and look for a copy of the "Manufacturers' Guide." Pick out the industry, the city, and the firm; invest in some two-cent stamps and go to it. Oh, yes, you'll be turned down frequently, but if you stick it out you'll probably land something, somewhere. If you're a farm worker—well, they're as scarce as hen's teeth—and if anybody ever finds out that you want farm work you will have an ample selection of employers. A twenty cent "ad" in any paper will bring immediate results. If you're a doctor, a lawyer, a druggist, or other professional you must know that the large cities with their problems are beckoning to you in S. O. S. style. Public Health agencies are calling for trained assistants; urban dwellers are becoming more and more clannish about their "own" doctors and lawyers; and the Negro population of hundreds of busy cities is fairly jumping upwards. You can't go wrong. Just pick your city, and don't be afraid of competition. Last, but not least, if you're "fuzzy" with capital, jump in the swim of NEGRO BUSINESS. It's the principal thing that's eventually going to be your economic savior. It's a young child, but it's growing stronger and better looking each day. It needs your training, your capital, and your patriotism. Some day it will give your kiddie a job when he's been turned down elsewhere. "And the last shall be first." PRINTER'S INK AND TYPE are busy registering a needless "debate" between Dr. DuBois and Mr. Garvey. From the last exchange of heated English, it is apparent that the "debate" is more given to personalities than it is to the logical establishment of the virtues of the associations of which these noted leaders are the cornerstones. The work of both Mr. Garvey and Dr. DuBois is so well understood that it is unfortunate that it should be temporarily beclouded by their present war of words. (To be continued.)

Family pick flaws in the programs of each man more unfortunate than this is the tororously, we think, finding fault with distinct work and the world is lax sufficient numbers of "blackfolk," voices of both Mr. Garvey and Dr. Garvey, eight-hour work day, without therowing stones at each other. Dr. DuBois has devoted a lifetime to racial uplift, and, particularly, to surcharging his people with race consciousness. Along came Mr. Garvey, and, despite what may be said in his disfavor, he certainly put more organization in the Race than it had enjoyed heretofore. Faultfinders, of course, can easily pick flaws in the programs of each of the gentlemen; but, even more unfortunate than this is the fact that they are, too vigorously, we think, finding fault with each other. Each has a distinct work and the world is large enough and there are sufficient numbers of "blackfolk," with souls, who need the services of both Mr. Garvey and Dr. DuBois, to insure to each an eight-hour work day, without the surplus occupation of throwing stones at each other. OPENS AND INK were quickly in between Harry Wills and "Battling" played the full distance with Harry Wills of Madden's feat, and was equalled by Wills, who has been kept on the memorial. "Old Age," and similar sessions were quickly applied to Wills' year for a match with Dempsey, the white sports will probably wait to have to use crutches; then they will champion, and if he loses, they will very good. From the time Gentleman Jim Cox want any more of Peter Jackson, Jim Burns around the world, it has pass through the eye of a needle, stored fighter to get a "square" mate; there is nothing strange about this wusually takes a mob to mete out "juju," whose skin was tanned by Nature.

They are simple to use plexion wonderfully and make PENS AND INK were quickly in order following the "go" between Harry Wills and "Battling" Bartley Madden, who stayed the full distance with Harry. The white press was glad of Madden's feat, and was equally unkind in its estimate of Wills, who has been kept on the bench almost since time immemorial. "Old Age," and similar uncomplimentary expressions were quickly applied to Wills, who has striven year after year for a match with Dempsep and other head-liners. The white sports will probably wait until Harry is so old that he has to use crutches; then they will match him with a white champion, and if he loses, they will say that he never was any good. From the time Gentleman Jim Corbett decided that he did not want any more of Peter Jackson, until Jack Johnson chased Tommy Burns around the world, it has been easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than it was for a good colored fighter to get a "square" match with a good white one. There is nothing strange about this when it is remembered that it usually takes a mob to mete out "justice" to an alleged criminal, whose skin was tanned by Nature. If the uncivilized game of the prize ring must go on, then Wills should be given the chance to fight and to keep in condition by being matched with "first-raters." He should not be "panned" for his showing with Madden, any more than Dempsey was when Tommy Gibbons went the full route with the Champion.

Do right, colored folks, serve God and fear not. A writer says fear means failure. No thoughtful person will question this. Teach your children politeness and be polite yourself and all will be well Good-timers live a life out in a short time; conservative workers live much longer. Difficult tasks are abhorred by some people and that is why they do not get anywhere in this life. The cause of church troubles is primarily due to the ease with which hypocrites attain membership. Going to heaven is all righ. but remember you must live down here on this earth first. Encourage end support racial enter prices and racial enterprises will encourage and support you. Let us do right and fear not. This world is governed by great principles and right will finally triumph. Education is all right, but it comes to be all wrong when it is engrafted in an individual, where the rudimentary principles of good breeding have not been implanted. Climbing is hard, sliding down is easy, but even in the latter operation, if you slide down too rapidly you will take the skin off. Don't forget that. The best friends to colored people may be found in the South-land and it takes an old-time colored person to find them. Some people wear religion as a loose garment and use it only in localities where it is fashionable. This class of people are at home either at a card table or on the dancing floor. Some people are satisfied to live one easy street and they do not strive to patronize any other thorough-fare. The road to independence, prosperity and final happiness does not run that way and every one of us should know it. The "Lily-Whitee" had full sway at Roanoke Va., and no sway at Cleveland, Ohio and this was true of well-nigh every other southern State. Some people believe in spreading bad news and in suppressing good tidings. They are miserable themselves and they try to make every one else miserable. When disgruntled democrats demand that in order for them to enter the Republican Party, they must first see the colored brother kicked out of it with "neither rhyme nor reason" for so doing, they deceive themselves. Verily wonders will never cease. The legislature of Louisiana has passed a law prohibiting the wearing of maska in that State. This is anti-Ku Klux Klan legislation. The Governor promptly signed the measure. This law shou'd be enacted in every State in the Union. Modest women are not to be found as readily these days as they ,used to be." It is due primarily to the crop of new women, who follow in the footsteps of men in their boldness and which was at one time designated by the old mammals as brazenness. Southern men did not like this kind of femine beauty. Mayor George Ainsale, the able chief executive of this city is again at his post of duty and there is much rejoicing over the fact that his disability was only temporary. It is to be hoped that he will not accept tempting offers from other localities, but will continue to remain in the midst of his many friends, who have not only learned to love, but also to adore him. We have received a communication which tends to show that opportunities will be available to the better class of colored people, who desire to locate in the vicinity of San Francisco, California. If self-sustaining colored people and their families will take an interest in this movement and appreciate the offers about to be made to people of their type, a new proposition will be tendered us and we may yet find that the lowering clouds of proscription are lifting and that the labor shortage question will prove to be a great blessing to one of the humblest and best races of people upon the face of the globe. A STRONG TICKET. It is a generally accepted fact that the Republican National Convention at Cleveland named a strong ticket. Much criticism has been voiced relative to the radical policy pursued with reference to party regularity and the dire consequences, which might follow such action. We take it that President Coolidge has reached a point where patience has ceased to be a virtue. Party ties and party platforms have been tabooed and abandoned. Men get nominated as Republicans, wear the livery of that organization and then refuse to be found by the action of the majority of the party with which they are affiliated. If the principles of a party are antagonistic to fundamental principles, in which a member of the party believes, the member of the party should sever his connections with the organization and act either as an independent or join some other party that believes in the policies and the principles, which he advocates. When the La Follette group remained in the Republican National Convention until its close, that La Follette group was bound by the actions of the convention and stand pledged to support the nominees named by that body. We cannot see any other honorable way to deal with the situation. The La Follette members could have retired upon the adoption of the platform. It is an evident fact that the Republican nominees will have no "walk over" this year. It will require hard, systematic work, with none but the faithful on guard. It is related that during the Civil War, at the Battle of the Crater at Petersburg. Va., conditions became almost unbearable and the Confederates were on the verge of surrendering. Gen. William Mahone heard of it and sent word down the line, "Boys, the yanks are worse off than we are." This gave the exhausted Confederates renewed hope and they held out and won that particular contest. Relative to disaffections inside of the Republican camp, the same ringing words are applicable. The Democrats are hopelessly divided and Chief Butler has but to repeat the words of that brainy Confederate general, "Boys, the Democrats are worse off than we are." WHAT DOES IT MEAN? We have received a communication from that able newspaper correspondent Wm. Anthony Aery, in which he announced that Hampton Institute at its fifty-seventh commencement, conferred degrees. We live to learn, but we were not aware that an institute with a principal and not a president could rightfully confer degrees, even though the course established embraced subjects, the mastery of which would prepare a student and make him entitled to such a degree. To speak plainly, we have always regarded the conferring of valid degrees to be the duty of a college or a university. Hampton Institute and Tuskegee Institute were founded to deal with lower education for the average colored individual and their standards have been held down to accomplish this purpose. We take it then that Dr. James E. Gregg is in favor of giving a colored student the highest education, of which he seems capable and not to THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA hold him within the radius of any prescribed limits. How did he succeed in doing this? Twenty years ago, it would have been in our opinion as much as his job is worth to have advocated any such policy at Hampton Institute. Still, we are yet puzzled and we indulge in the remark that surely the world moves and Hampton Institute is moving with it. A REMARKABLE TRIBUTE. The Richmond, Va., News-Leader published a rather remarkable tribute recently to the retiring Director of Public Works, Allen J. Saville. The first inquiry that came into our mind was as to whether the appraisal of the achievements of this able official was correct, and if correct, why was it that some practical effort was not made to retain his services for the city? No one who has impartially and with out prejudice of any kind observed the improvement in conditions in this locality and the outlying district will hesitate to answer the inquiry in the affirmative. The trouble is that the public is not willing to pay the price and officials who make sacrifices produce the best results seldom receive the recognition to which they are entitled. We believe that Director Saville will find that in making the change, he and his associates will profit financially, while the city of Richmond will for a time at least suffer as the result of the loss of the efficiency which characterized his Department. A new official of transcendent ability may in time establish the same efficiency, but during the period of probation, this community will be the loser. RELIGIOUS CHRONICLER NEWS OF THE KINGDOM THIRD STREET BETHEL A. M. E. CHURCH NEWS. The Children's Day program rendered in the Sunday School last Sunday was a treat to all. At 11 A. M.

We wish to thank the ladies from all the churches who helped us to make this occasion a success. At 8 P. M. Dr. Hatcher's subject was: "What Jesus Did For Barnabas."

(Preston News Service) MEMPHIS, Tenn., June 19.—Five persons who met on Beale Avenue after the picture show had closed, drove to Germantown and then to Frayers station, are trying to convince Judge Pittman and a jury that they are entitled to damages averaging about $2,000 each in connection with an accident at the L. and N. crossing when the machine in which they were riding was struck on their return to the city just as day was dawning December 1st last. The men testified that their carerved so sharply to miss the train that it turned over and then was dragged by the train.

(2) Wills’ hana, injured in January, has not yet recov ered its full strength and he was work ing with an idea to protect this mitt as much as possible. (3) Madden is one of the toughest Irishmen in the fight game and some question of his hardness of head can be perceived, when it is a recognized fact that he has never been knocked off his feet, much Jess knocked out. (4) Madden if re- ports are true, was greatly aided by the referee. Tt is said that Madden went into the ring to stay 15-rounds. Wills, whose fighting tactics have een the subject of much discussion, was breaking clean as a whistle yet he continually heard in his ears, the warn ing sound of the referee’s words as he said ‘fight clean Wills.’ Madden on the the other hand; hung on and hung on. and despite Wills’ plea to the referee, ‘these tactics prevailed throughout the fight. Wills in a statement after the fight, said the only target he iad to shoot at was Madden's hard head and hee took no chances with that. REMEBER DEMPSEY ‘AND GIBBONS ‘These are the facts in the case. But immediately, a mighty how! goes up from the assembled ranks of the scrib es, declaring that Wills is through, that he is as slow as a truck horse, and that he has lost his punch. In short, they attempt to make a hero out of Madden and a farmer out of wills. ‘Then, send your mind back down the trail of memorles less than a year ack. The place is Shelby! Mont. The date July 2.

(REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED? ‘At the end of the fight, Gibbons, still on his feet and fighting back, had given Jack Dempsey -one of the hard- ‘est battles of his career. Dempsey had not been fighting for more than a year. ‘But, was Dempsey declared a goner? ‘Was Gibbons touted to the skies? No. ‘most emphatically no. The sport writ: ers, on that occasion, gave Dempsey the benefit of the doubt. They alibied and sald that Dempsey was working for another big bout. Dempsey was and still is. the champion. That's the dit- ference. ‘Then. not more than a month ago, Gibbons was unable to knock out Georges Carpentier, at Michigan City, Sndieus. ‘ DID PADDY MULLINS ERR? \ While most of the writers are riding Wills, some are placing the blame for Wills’ seeming swing on the down- ward path to the dumb management 0° Paddy Mullins, his manager. Mullins kmew the stuff of which Madden was made. He also knew that it was Dos sible for him to have secured easie* fights for Wills until such time as that individual had become acclimated. as it were. Mullins, all along the line, thas been the subject for severe criti- cism. Wills has been ,patiently wait- ing” for more than four years for a chance to meet Dempsey. He has been cast aside and seen men like Carpen- tiem Firpo come from across the pond and then depart, for their native homes after being’ beaten, with nice- sized fortunes tucked away in their money belts. ‘Those interested in Wills believe that had the “Panther” fought his way through all comers, or consistently trailed Dempsey and his manager, Jack Kearns public opinion, voiced through the newspapers, woud have caused a showdown ong before this. Either Wills would ‘have been the world’s champion or ie he would have been given the op portunity to prove that be was not a champ. Now, Wills has passed his prime, and it is a question whether, even it he fights Dempsey, what he will be able to accomplish. ‘Herman Taylor, famous fight pro- moter of Philadelphia, told a reporter ‘of the Preston News Service when ask ed what he thought of the possibilities of a mateh between Wills and Demp- sey, that “it is my opinion that these two men will never box as you Know yourself their managers and quite a number of prominent promot: ers have been wrangling for years and this will have a tendency to keep them apart.” ae Ce ac oe cea CARPENTIBR CHOOSES wos ‘OVER DEMPSEY. | (Preston ews ervice.)

This Week By Arthur Brisbane USED CARS FOR EUROPE. A TEXT FOR FORD. WHAT IS A CAREER? THE JUDGE'S COCKTAIL. When the automobile arrived, old-fashioned carriages, Victorias, broughams, etc., became worthless here, and a market was found for them in South America where they did not give up horses and carriages so easily. Lately the American problem has been "how to get rid of second-hand automobiles." Europe, it seems, will help solve that problem. A company, formed to ship second-hand cars to Europe, sends over bargains by the shipload. Money is not as plentiful there as it is here. The "used car," at a whittled down price, is attractive. Unloading of used cars abroad will be a good thing for Europe, which needs economy, and a good thing for the United States, where millions need "a bigger or better car." The Senate Agricultural Committee, 11 to 5, voted against Ford's Muscle Shoals offer and took up Senator Norris's bill. Senators that refused Ford's offer are hurting farmers and hurting themselves. But that doesn't console Ford, who must now find his consolation in the 146th Psalm. Verse 3 is especially recommended: "Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help." The unreliable son of man in this case seems to be Mr. Coolidge. Chlorine gas that wiped out battalions in the great war, will be used on a bigger scale of destruction against germs of influenza, pneumonia, and other diseases. That's a better war. Exclusive clubs in New York decide to expand their visitors' list during the Democratic convention. This is presumably to philip mem- that occasionally dream political dreams, on their own account, but would not like to push the thing so far as to "invite those political chaps to one's own club, don't you know." We really have an American aristocracy, a poor thing, but our own. The Methodists, with "going forward" for their keynote, vote 5 to 1 in their general conference, to lift the church and the剧院. The old rule was no amusement "except those which can be used in the name of the Lord Jesus." Now amusement and religion can be kept separate, as education and religion are separate in public schools. Charles H. Mayo, great surgeon, says cancer will be conquered “within a few years.” Already seventy to eighty per cent of cancers can be cured “if taken in time.” Remember that over-eating is one of the principal causes of cancer. Keep your system light, clear, clean, full of energy, and it will deal with the diseases that attack it. Overloaded, it is helpless. Miss Gildersleeve, dean of Barnard College, tells the girls that marriage is not ENOUGH for women now. Each girl must have a career, as well as a husband. What IS a career? Beethoven’s job was music. Michel Angelo’s was art. Did not their mothers have a career, when they created them? Or must they also paint and write music? Is not the creator as great as the thing created? Mothers are the creators, men are only the product, depending for their fame on what their mothers give them. It would horrify you to read about a female gorilla capturing a young girl, skinning her, to use the skin as sandals. That never happened. But European ladies are having sandals made of the "soft and pliable" skin of monkeys, guaranteed not to "squeak." In a gorilla that would shock us. It's all right for a lady. Rebecca West, an intelligent young English writer, back in London, tells of a judge in the Middle West "who danced the 'ango with passion rarely exhibited in public places. And afterward gave me a wonderful cocktail made of a brand of white fire out of a silver flash the size of the Ascot Cup." - At his invitation she sat on the bench with him next day and saw him fine a colored lady, seventy-five years old, carrying a carryall, a moonshine whiskey. She presents that as a sample of "our respect for law." Have the Planet sent to your address for one year. The cost is only $200 per year. It will aid a journal that has served you.

I wouldn't do injustice to the chick or child of man, who pins his faith to dollars and replevins all he can—but we can't dismiss the question from the feller that reflecks, how brains compares with dollars in acquirin' men's respecks! Sometimes the man with millions creates an awful stir; while the baggy-kneed philosopher is one we're sorriest for. The fat-head with the fortune that's been handed down to him, may write a fust-rate poem—but his chance is mighty slim! I FEEL SORRY FOR THE BAGGY KNEED PHILOSOPHER!

The Richmond Planet, 311 N. 4th St. Back in 1884, when Gloucester, Mass., had a composite population as it has to-day of fishermen, glue and twine manufacturers and followers of the sea there was born in their midst one Harry Allen. His father and grandfather had been fishermen, his mother and grandmother makers of sails. His father was drowned the day he was born, his mother died giving him a job to solute husband attempted to raise him. He was sent to a Kinder garden when seven and ran away when he was ten. When eleven he was a cabin boy on a coastwise sailing vessel. The hardships of those days beggar description—hunger, cold, whippings, hard work, but he emerged from it at seven- teen a man, six feet tall, brawny, well balanced but bitter. He had managed to save from scant earnings $211, and with it he opened a small general store in a Gloucester side street. A year later a rival burned him out. Allen ferreted out the incendiary, whipped him into an inch of his life and then rode an inch of his life and a broomstick. He out of town on a glue factory, three years slept and also ate his meals followed, and then Allen opened a grocery store with the $570 he had saved. His campaign of personally soliciting trade brought results and his became the leading grocery, coal and wood, and accessory store in the town. Ten years later he had become a large figure in a small place and was the so-called political boss of Essex County, Mass. When he was thirty-two he moved to Boston, 28 miles distant, and opened a department store on Hanover. Street known as Harry Allen & Co. When he was forty he sold the store for $900,000 and retired, telling his friends that the first forty years of his life had been Hell and that he intended to make the next forty years a heaven. He is now enjoying the fruits of his labors. NEWS OF THE WORLD AS SEEN BY THE CAMERA'S EYE. 14 Scarboro, N.
