Tinsley, Jr., who was shot at four times by his wife, Dollie Williams Tinsley, three of the bullets taking effect, is out on the streets again and meeting him, he related the following story: "I was shot July 7, 1924, about 5:45 P. M. by my wife. We were married in May, 1924. She left me two weeks before she shot me. We had been staying at the Biltmore. She did not want to stay there. She wanted me to move to the residence of my father, on 5th street and I moved there, and after I had the place furnished, she did not want to stay there. MUCH DISSATISFIED "She wanted to move away again after staying there one week. She said the place did not suit her. I told her to wait a while until I could find a better place for her, but she refused to wait. She left and went down on 5th street to an indecent place. I caught her there hugging another man. I went to her and to this man and talked to her and asked her in his presence what she meant. He said he did not mean anything. There was nothing to it. I left. She came with me and went on back home. We did not have any fuss at all that night or at any other time. TROUBLE WITH THE BROTHERS. "A week after she left again and she went with her sister and brother to stay on Church Hill, 517 308 street. I went after her. When I went after her, her brother checked me and asked me where I was going. I told him I was going after her and then her brothers told me she was not going back with me any damn time. She leaves and don't choose to come back she will stay away and they would put my lights out. I left the residence directly after talking with them. I started to the other side of the street. AN OFFICER APPEARS. "The two of them rushed towards me, one putting his hand into his bosom to draw his gun. Before he got it half way out. I drew mine and held it drawn upon him until an officer came and he made the arrest. I was fined $10.00 for having a concealed weapon. When he arrested them, they had gone into the house with their guns. The week afterward, the shooting took place. My wife was sitting on Mrs. McNeal's porch at 5th and Duval streets. I left the house across the street where I live and she called me to her and asked me would I take her back. WANTED TO COME BACK AGAIN "I told her, No. She asked why. Because she left when she had no reason to leave. She had a good home and she couldn't appreciate it. She said she knew that. She wasn't talking about that part. She wanted to know if I was going to take her back. She didn't have any place to call home. I told her I didn't have any taking back to do, because she left herself without reason.

T. Johnson, pastor of First Baptist Church, Wednesday morning, ten o'clock, at the home of the bride, 316 West Leigh street. The home was tastefully decorated with large palms and chote cut flowers. With Mr. Charles M. Bland at the piano, the little ribbon girls, sweet in their exquisite costumes of pink georgette, entered, led by little Miss Carolina Robinson, —the little Miss Miriam Robinson, Harriet Hayes, Lilian Swan and Jerena Frayser followed; then little Miss Elizabeth Frayser, sweet in her little frock of yellow georgette with hat to match, preceded the bride, bearing the ring in the heart of a beautiful lily. The bride, a perfect picture in traveling costume, carrying a shower bouquet of bride's roses, approaching the beautifully improvised altar on the arm of her father—was met there by the groom and Mr. H. J. Brown, Jr. who acted as best man. Thruout the ceremony soft, beautiful violin music was rendered by Mr. Alvan Campbell, accompanied by Mr. Battle, of Washington, D. C. The reception —so ably handled by Mr. William Rush, assisted by Misses Burnadine Smith, Marie Seay, Susie and Maria Banks, Ann Ellis, Mrs. Julia Smith and Mr. Wise Ellis, friends of the bride and her family —immediately followed the ceremony. Many were the guests assembled, the bride, an efficient teacher in one of the Asheville, N. C. schools, prominent in social affairs in Virginia and elsewhere, being an issue of one of the oldest families in Richmond. Cars that conveyed the guests, who followed the bride and groom to see them off on their honeymoon to Atlantic City and points in New York, were furnished by W. I. Johnson and Sons.

SARAH E. JACKSON, WIFE, .. IS SOLE BENEFICIARY. (Richmond Times Dispatch) The will of Giles B. Jackson, prominent colored lawyer here for many years, was probated in the Chancery Court yesterday. He leaves a small estate, all of which goes to his wife, Sarah E. Jackson. The estate is valued at $700, $500 of which is in real estate. In his will he writes: "For many years I have striven for the uplift of my race and in my untiring zeal to promote its welfare. I have spent thousands of dollars upon various objects too numerous to mention, but all universally known. For this reason perhaps at the time of my death my estate may be of small value." AGENT FOR ISLANDER SAYS EXCURSION WAS ORDERLY The following communication from Mr. H. G. Benner, agent for "The Islander" the excursion steamer on which 381 excursionists were arrested some time ago, proves the previous statement that the excursion was orderly and that no rowdyism or boisterous conduct was present: "Nichmond, Va., August 21, 1924 "To My Colored Patrons: "Inasmuch as has been said and done to as the behavior of the colored race on the excursion steamer, I have been agent for the river excursions for the past six years and I can gladly say that I never yet, but on one occasion had to return on account of bad behavior, and on this occasion no shooting or fighting occurred. I never had but one person arrested and that was proven in court, when he was convicted for stealing another passenger's (colored passenger) coat and had ransacked my larder or ice box, where food is kept for the crew. I thank the colored race for their courteous manner and respect they have shown me and my previous employers, hoping my dealings in the future will be as they always have been. I regret very much, as well as the Captain and owners of the Steamer Islander, that the conditions existed Sunday night. The Captain said that it was one of the most orderly, quietest excursions run this season, both on to Hopewell and return trip. "The severe illness of my wife at my home kept me from accompanying the Association this trip. "Yours, "H. G. BENNER, Agent, "2408 Hull St, Richmond, Va." REV. COBBS LAMBASTS SUNDAY RIVER MOONLIGHTS. Using the fourth commandment as a theme, Rev. C. A. Cobbs took occasion to censure the Sunday river excursions prevalent in Ridghmond. "Remember the Sabbath Day and keep it holy," cautioned the divine in his morning's discourse at Calvary Baptist Church, Fulton. He reprimanded the members of his church who largely composed the club that ran a Sunday moonlight down the James this month, echoes from which are still in the courts DR. R. ALONZO SCOTT HERE. Dr. K. Alonzo Scott visited The Planet office this week. This remarkable lecturer, philosopher and poet has been touring the Southern States and he came direct from Tarboro, N. C., where he met with great success. He was enroute to Charlottesville, Va., where he is scheduled to lecture this week. He was the picture of health. Although he says he is 70 years of age, he looked to be only 50. While here he was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. John A. Brown: PRICE, FIVE CENTS LIVES UICIDE R FIRES S BRAIN early Satur- o Shots tal. A commotion was caused shortly after 5 o'clock, Saturday morning, August 23rd, when two revolvers shot wave heard in a garage in the rear of 608 E. Marshall street. Substitute Mall-carrier Frank E. Carter was found by his wife out there, immediately afterwards. He was dead. No direct cause is assigned for the tragedy. Mrs. Ruth Carter. who had been married some eight years stated that she had been away for two weeks visiting relatives. Her husband, Frank came up there in the country, where she was and while there told her that he had something on his mind. He stated that he had been boycotted on the Northside and he felt it very keenly. VERY TIRED He went to the Superintendent over there and was told that he was giving satisfaction, being regarded as one of the best of the substitute carriers. Mrs. Carter stated that she was tired out Friday night and laid down. Her husband was in the other room, where he usually slept during the hot days. She asked him to get up so that she could open the lounge and fix his bed, but he told her that he preferred it just as it was. He was a profound reader. She went to bed. Some time in the early morning she felt some one put a hand on her face, maybe kissing her. She opened her eyes and saw a figure. FOUND DEAD She heard her husband go into the bathroom. She heard the water running. Shortly after that, she heard the report of a revolver. She jumped up and went to the door leading down stairs. It was open. She remembered she had left it closed. She went to the garage and found her husband there with a bullet hole in his right temple. She called to him, but he was dead. She started to call up a doctor, but as she could not see the names in the book, she started for the Second Police Station across the street. The lady next door came over. She went back and pulled Frank out so that his body was laid on the floor. NO REASON GIVEN She could not ascribe any reason for his rash act. Frank E. Carter had one sister. His people live in the neighborhood of Goddin street. Mrs. Ruth Carter is niece to Mrs. Alice Burrell. The funeral took place from the residence Monday afternoon at three o'clock. Rev. W. H. Stokes, Ph. D. officiated. The deceased was a member of Moore Street Baptist Church, but the pastor was out of the city. Frank E. Carter served in the World War. THOSE POWDER MARKS. No powder stains were found around the wound in Frank E. Carter's head. His body was found in a garage in the back yard of his premises, which garage neither belonged to or was occupied by him.

Sends Message to the National Negro Business League Session at Chicago Sends Message to the National Negro Business League Session at Chicago PRAISES PROGRESS OF COLORED CITIZENS. Washington, August 21.—The White house gave out for publication today a letter written by President Coolidge in which he reiterates his recent tributes to the progress of the Negroes of America and emphasizes his announced stand for giving the Negro full political rights. There is no reference in the letter to the sympathetic attitude shown by the President in his acceptance address for legislation intended to curb lynching, but the whole tone of the communication amounts to a declaration of policy to see that colored people have the protection guaranteed to American citizens by the Constitution and the laws. (Dr. Kelly Miller, Howard Univ.) (Marcus Garvey would paint God in his own image. Even the black man turns from the suggestion with a feeling of revulsion and disgust. We have been so long accustomed to regarding God as white that we have identified His visage with His essence. Any change in the accustomed color implies alteration in character. In all the religious schemes of the world, the gods create men in their own image and in their own likeness. Man, in his turn, fashions his gods after his own physical similitude. Alexander Pope tells us that, "an honest man's the noblest work of God." Robert Ingersol, with blasphemic aptness, retorts, that, "an honest God is the noblest work of man. DETAILED INFORMATION All nations, races and peoples have been anthropomorphic. A collection of tools and graven images of all ages and times would make an interesting and instructive museum. The delties of the different peoples and races would be found to possess the physical idiosyncrasies of those who fashion them. Some would be white, some yellow some red, some brown and some black. No other conclusion is conceivable. The human mind is ever prone to fashion its highest conception after its own physical model. TOO GREAT A TAX. Man is by nature idolatrous. He bows down and worships before images of wood and stone. This is most especially true of concrete-minded rares and nations. It is too great a tax to focus the emotions on an abstract idea. The spirit we worship must manifest itself in outward embodiment. It must have eyes to see and ears to hear and visage to be looked upon. After all has been said and done, idolatry is only personified selfishness. Our God must have our own color and facial features, must speak our vernacular and typify our moral and social aim. A UNIVERSAL RELIGION A universal religion must make the universal appeal and must rise above and transcend the incidents of race, color, language, age or clime. The Asiatic, the European the African in the fullness of self consciousness, will not accept a religion whose carnal peculiarities are built on an alien pattern. The Hebrew-Christian religion has the fundamental requirement of universality. In its essential character and quality, it is all but completely detached from the incidents of time and place and racial and ethnic idiosyncrasies. It forever forbids PRESIDENT COOL HIS INTENTION OUR CONSTITUTE Sends Message to Business League S PRAISES PROGRESS OF Washington, August 21.—publication today a letter written which he reiterates his recent Negroes of America and emphasizes the Negro full political right. There is no reference in the book shown by the President in his address intended to curb lynching, but the application amounts to a declaration people have the protection given by the Constitution and the law. The President's letter was sent to Dr. Robert R. Moton at Chicago. President, of. the National Negro Business League. Its text follows: White House. Washington, Aug. 14, 1924. My dear Mr. Moton: The approaching annual convention of the National Negro Business League is of particular interest and note, because it will mark the quarter centennial of this organization. In addressing to you for the convention my felicitations and good wishes on this occasion, I wish particularly to pay tribute to the league's founder and your distinguished predecessor, the late Booker T. Washington. His vision of the problems of the colored people was indeed that of a seer, and your league is one of the monuments to his life work. Only a few weeks ago I had the pleasure, at the Commencement of Howard University, of reviewing briefly and inadequately the material evidence of the progress of the colored people. I shall not now re-registrate what was then said, but wish to tell you of the deep imposition that was made upon me by racial selfworship by prohibiting idolatry. "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image or likeness; thou shalt not bow down thyself to them nor serve them." This commandment saves Hebraism from idolatry, freees it from narrow racial isolation, and raises it to the highest reaches of the yearnings of the human spirit for all peoples and for all times. CONSTANT APOSTACY. There was and is constant apostacy from the great ideal. The Samaritans sought to localize and racialize Jehovah, and to monopolize his worship as their particular and exclusive privilege. Jesus in rebuke the narrow, intolerant spirit of the Samaritan woman universalized the claim of Christianity as the creed of mankind. "Woman, believe me, the hour cometh and now is when ye shall neither in this mountain nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. The True worshipper shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth. For the Father taketh such to worship Him. God in a spirit, and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth." This declaration forever banishes time and place and race from the Kingdom of God which Jesus came to set up on earth. FLESHLY IDOLATRY. (But the more carnally minded portion of the European race, which is now dominant in the material affairs of the world, has lapsed into a fleshly idolatry. They have made graven image of whiteness and bow down and worship it with a reverence surpassing that rendered to any other God. The decree of color has the strongest controlling sanction. It is more blessed to be white than to be right. All ideals of beauty and goodness are made in this mold. White and black have been made connotative of opposite ethical qualities, of good and bad. The artistic and moral emotions have become adjusted to the unity of color and quality. AT THE NEGATIVE POLE The Christian religion is interpreted in terms of flesh and blood. The Negro is placed at the negative pole. His color must be apologized for when it is not belittled. The poet, Cowper felt that he was complimenting the Negro to concede that. "Fleecy locks and dark complexion cannot forfeit natures claim." Two apolytic negatives never yet made an emphatic affirmative. Marcus Garvey, finding his race confounded by such a color scheme, calculated to humiliate and degrade its spirit, utters an emphatic revolt which seems grotesque and bizarre IDGE REITERATES TO SAFEGUARD INSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS. the National Negro Session at Chicago OF COLORED CITIZENS.

In the accumulation of wealth, establishment of material independence and the assumption of a full and honorable part in the economic life of the nation, it may fairly be said that the colored people themselves have already substantially solved these phases of their problem. If they will but go forward along the lines of their progress in recent decades, and under such leadership as your own and many others their excellent organizations are affording their future would be well cared for. That they will continue in this way of advancement can not be doubted by any one who knows their accomplishments heretofore. They will continue their efforts for educational progress and spiritual betterment, and just as they demonstrate their eagerness for such improvement they will find themselves enjoying a constantly greater and greater support and sympathy at the hands of the whole community. As to the political status and future of the colored people I can not better present my views than by THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND. VIRGINIA to those who are habituated to the white man's forms of thought and feeling. But why should God be pictured white rather than black, or yellow or brown, except for the fact that the white man has given his own color to the graven image which he has made? COLORED ANGELS I have seen colored angels painted on the walls of Negro churches, and an involuntary shudder has come over me, because of the unconscious absorption of the white man's mode of portraying heavenly things as proper and normal. I recall seeing in a magazine the Chinese pictorial interpretation of the escapades of the Prodigial Son. The trusant son the loving father were typical Chinamen with pig eyes, pig tails and pigmented hue. It at first struck me as a travesty; but the Chinese artist was simply true to the artistic genius of his race. He could not paint on an alien model. No Methodist artist can paint John the Baptist baptising in the River Jordan. No Catholic can do justice to the portrayal of Martin Luther. AN IMPOSSIBLE PROPOSITION. A polochrome world can never accept a monochrome art. It is essential to eliminate artistic portrayal of heavenly characters, else each physical variety will have its own type, and will not fail to bow down and worship it. The Negro is pitiless befitted in the world by which he is surrounded. His standards are borrowed, and too often, prove to be a misfit. He is naively unconscious of his predicament. I never witness a Negro dramatic cast performing a play intending to harmonize color and quality without a feeling of mixed revolt and pity. A Negro theatrical troupe where the lighter hued women and the darker-colored men are contrasted to ridicule, bellittle and burlesque the race suggests the unconscious degradation of the mimicry of alien art. A PECULIAR PREDICAMENT. According to the prevailing mode, all standards of excellence attach to the white race. The high stations in our social scheme are held by them. The Negro is relegated to the lower levels of service and dignity. We get in the habit of looking for noble qualities in one color and ignoble ones in the other. Othelo is the only conspicuous hero of off color, that the white man has ever portrayed in modern literature and even he was endowed with fatal weakness. In modern literature one no where finds a hero of unmistakable Negro blood who holds excelence to the end. Even when given quoting from a letter which I wrote a few days ago to a correspondent, who had sought to enlist my influence against having a colored man become a candidate for a Congressional nomination. In reply, among other things, I said: "The suggestion of denying any measure of their full political rights to such a great group of our population as the colored people is one which, however it might be received in some quarters, could not possibly be permitted by one who feels his responsibility for living up to the traditions and maintaining the principles of the Republican Party. Our Constitution guarantees equal rights to all our citizens without discrimination on account of race or color. I have taken my oath to support that Constitution. It is the source of your rights and my rights. I propose to regard it and administer it as the source of the rights of all the people, whatever their belief or race. I stand on that statement, and believe it marks the line along which the colored people will advance to the full establishment of their rightful political status. Just as emancipation from slavery was granted by the immortal Lincoln, so is economic emancipation being splendidly LOOK TO THE LAW. Reports from centers into which Negro "first-time" voters have migrated during the past two or three years indicate that insincere advice and false instructions regarding their rights as voters, under the laws of the respective States in which they reside, are being given by unscrupulous misinformers, who desire to defect the Negro vote or to influence it to swing to the selfish desires of insincere candidates and their "boosters." No No greater political injustice could possibly be done than this; and "first-time" voters should look to the election laws of their Counties and States to see that they are correctly informed as to State voting regulations, and are not the victims of misleaders and propagandists. The right of the ballot is a sacred right, gained through constitutional amendment; and persons who would wilfully resort to unethical methods to prevent "first-time" voters, or any others, for that matter, from enjoying the full measures of suffrage in their districts, are nothing short of criminals of the first degree. In most of the urban districts there are a sufficient number of race attorneys and other interested persons to see to it that the law is accurately interpreted, and that voters are truthfully advised of the election laws to which they are subject. LOOK TO THE LAW—and in an unfaltering way. (By the CAMERAMAN, for Preston News Service.) a good start he is always made to break down in the midst of his career. The high qualities of the lady or the gentleman must not be exhibited in that color. RACIAL APPRECIATION LACKING The Negro is a great patron of the moving picture, where he witnesses all noble qualities attributed to white men and women; while his own type never rises above the buffoon or the good and faithful servant. Unless he is careful to distinguish between the essential of quality and the non-essentials of color, he will find that modern art steals away his racial self-respect he is aware. THAT VINDICTIVE ALTERNATIVE The remedy does not consist in the vindictive alternative of Marcus Garvey. There cannot be two standards in one civilization; neither can we have two Gods, one white and one black. We should have to have, not only a God for white and black, but one for every hue and shade between. The Episcopalian definition of God is that He, 'is a being without body parts or passion.' The true God can have no race, no color, no national preferences. He is father alike to all of His children of every clime and hue. I have on my mantel busts of Plato and Shakespeare. But to me the race and nationality count for naught; their intellect for everything. I care nothing for race, color or superficial aspect of the author of the Sermon on the Mount. Religion appeals to the soul and not to the skin. Science and philosophy are color blind. A Christianity that reckons with color is no Christianity at all. The Negro's only salvation is to stress the essentials in science, art and religion. Let those who will, revel in superficialities. A DEVOUT WISH And yet I devoutly wish that more members of the Negro blood might command high places and achieve great deeds. It brings respect to the race and makes it easier for the Negro to respect himself. It is tragedy to have white men monopolize what few high stations Negro life affords. It adds nothing to the glory of the white race, but leaves the Negro poor indeed. In the normal state of things every race will produce illustrious names in about the same relative numbers. There is no inherent relation between race and excellence or color and noble quality. Flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God. Just as we deem it a sin for the white race to bow down and worship a white God, just so it is no less for the Negro to bow down and worship a black one. wrought out by the colored people for themselves; so I believe their full political rights will be won thru the inevitable logic of their position and rightfulness of their claims. Very truly yours, CALVIN COOLIDGE. COLORED HOLY NAME SOCIETIES TO MARCH IN BIG PARADE.

His speech in Maine was a masterly production and the remarkable wis- dom and foresight displayed will be observable as the campaign proceeds. WE REGARD President Calvin Coolidge’s speech of acceptance of the Republican nomination for prest- dency of the United States as a mas- terpiece. His appeal for the exercise of common sense in this campaign ‘will appeal to the masses of voters.

C. SMITH announces that his vote in the Republican primary for the gubernatorial nomination was considerably reduced when the returns came in after the usual Do- litical manipulation, He might have expected this. He is lucky to be accredited with a following of 15,000 in the State of Ohio, This is a dan gerous aggregation of votes, which the astute political manager will carefully reckon with in the fina count.

DUBOIS is one o! the ablest leaders in this country and occupies an enviable position ir the eyes of the civilized frorld, As fa political leader, his position wobbly and not clearly defined, it we are to judge by his editorial utter ances in recent editions of the New York Crisis. He is not in a position to advise colored people, unless he comes out boldly for the Socialist Party, with which political organt zation, he is known to have political affiliations. It the Socialist Party is the greatest and best for the Negroes in the country, he should come out and say so and at the same time give reasons for the faith that is in him. : | WE HAVE read with Interest the ‘basis of the charges against Prest dent General Mareus Garvey as made by several of the disgruntled chief tains and it seems that Mr. Garvey’s Inability or disincliation to fulfill his financial obligations towards them is the basis of their grievances against him, although he had prom ised faithfully so to do. Did Garvey have at his disposal the money with which to carry out these obligations or was he depending upon paying the amount out of proceeds, which never came to hand? Upon the an- swers to these questions, will depend our conclusions relative to this re- markable and much persecuted lead- er, When we shall know these facts we shall be able to ascertain whether or not he deserves to be persecuted. THE DEATH of John Edward Bruce, familiarly known by his news- paper designation of ;BrueeGrit” removes from the arena of publie life one of the most brilliant men our race has ever produced. He was “true to the core” and his deep in- torest in Africa and all that pertained to its welfare was hir most notice- able characteristic. He allied him- self with the Garvey movement and despite all of the many unpleasant things said about this chieftain, he yas true to him to the end. We were not surprised at this for he had identified himself primarily with the canse and secondarily with the man and he realized that with the destruction of the leader and the chiet advocate of the cause, all was lost. | Wo have felt this death keenly, for we regarded him as “nature's gentleman,” one of the most patriotic members of the race that ever breathed the breath of life.

It was all be cause Flowers worrjed him so serious ly during the ten rounds at Fremont, ‘Ohio, In tact Flowers compelled the famous “Jumping Jack” of Gar field Bottoms to extend himself to utmost in order to come through the bout without his reputation being tarnished. In fact, many spectators of the bout beljeve that Greb won by only the slightest margin. In fuct they claim that were Flowers and Greb to meet again soon in the ring. Flowers would put him to sleep. It is believed that Fiowers has weakened Greb's courage and that a 4 ee Loe A eee | ae 3) Nee Sen sl | | te : ' | : Guee> | Monee victory for Flowers over him now Would be an easy matter. ‘On the other hand, it is thought that Flow- Cts went into the battle filled with doubt, but the great showing he made against the Pittsburgh fighter has given the Atlanta boy courage. Greb fang his manager are aware of this psydhological phase qf the matter and therefore have drawn the color line, to avoid the possibility of los- ing his crown to a Negro. fm some quarters it is sald that a delegation of local klansmen visited Greb and his manager soon after their arrival from Rremont, 0. and requested that he not again meet a Negro in the prize ring. But there ts still another version joing the rounds in sportdom, It oes something like this—Mr. Flow- sis going to find himself ina feculiar’ predicament before long. jo is so. good that the “money” ighters are going to refuse to meet jim under any conditions. Csually a man must measure up jo certain standards of ability be- fore matchmakers and promoters il use him, You often hear it id of a fighter: “Who? That bum? We can’t use im, he's no good.” But of Tiger Flowers promoters rill say very soon to his manager: “Who, Tiger Flowers? He's to‘ ood; we can't use him; nobody wil ight him.” \Greb is the first man, pugilisticall Jspeaking, of importance that Flov ers has had an opportunity to mee ind tho result is that Greb conside exceedingly lucky that h janaged to pull through and in orde fo save his bacon he has resorted | the “convenient” color line, Gre In the pink of condition and sa} imself that he deserves a world « redit for getting the decision ov lowers.

Persons who have seen Greb in numerous fights declare that they never saw him fight so hard in his entire ring career as he was forced to do in his battle with Tiger Flow- ers of Atlanta, in theif bout at Fre mont, O. last Thursday night. Seldom has it ever been noticed where Greb appeared to be somewhat “pewildered by an opponent in the prize ring. But on several occasions towers appeared to have Greb com- pletely under his control. On two occasions during the bout it Flowers had followed up his strong slashes to Greb’s chin, the Pittsburgh man would have been his victim. But Flowers is wise. That was a no decision, no title fight, Flowers was waiting for a chance to get somewhere, ‘Greb found that out, got afraid and drew the color line from now on. So really Flowers is the best man. Should be champion, but color line stands in way of real chance. SAM LANGFORD PULLS DOWN $436 WITHOUT HITTING BLOW. NEW YORK, Aug. 27.—(P. N. 8.) —The most noted veteran of the ring, Sam Langford, pulled down a $456 purse here last Friday night at the Lafayette theatre, and he did not have to take a jolt in the tummy or smash on the Jaw to earn the money. Old Sam just ambled across the stage and ambled back again. Then he acted as referee for the spirited three-round exhibjtion be- tween Joe Jeannette and’ one of voannette’s pupils. But, poor Sam was as bashful as a school girl and the famous old hero of the prize ring was nearly frightened to death when Mr. Bern- ard, master of ceremonies, intro- duced hjm as the “Uncrowned King” of the prize ring, The show netted about $873.40, from which the war tax and expenses left a balance of $436. This sum willebe added to by several contributions due the committee and it is expected that the sum will exceed the $500 mark on final tabulations. ——_~-2+- (Continued from Page 1) complimenting the speakers of the evening.

The second shot struck me in my right breast, just as I turned my side. I ran about three yards and fell on my face. After falling she shot me in the back, That ball entered my stomach and tore my intestines, The other shot missed me. She told the officer that she shot to kill me. I was conscious the whole time, until they put me under ether. SCENE AT HOSPITAL. She visited St. Philips Hospital, where I was confined. She acted suspiciously. She had a hand-bag in her hand and she had her other hand in a hand-bag, in a chair. She asked me what was I doing in bed. At that time one of the nurses came in and asked her what was she doing in there. Did she have a special permit? She replied, ‘No, I haven't any permit to be in here and I am not going to get one either or go out,” Sho went out and came back in an hour and the nurse got an officer.

Tabloid Magazine Sallie's Temptations BY GIADY'S BASKET Sallie Changes Her Plans. 81X # 2023年11月16日 "You don't approve of flappers, do you?" I asked Mr. Wright, as we left the driveway and he turned my roadster into the elm-bordered road. "As far as I know," he responded whimsically, "I don't believe I've ever known one of the home wrecking, heart-devastating creatures at close range enough to pass judgment." Once again I felt that he was ridiculing me, or either he preferred not to commit himself on the subject. "Oh, you needn't think you can crawl out of it," I persisted. "I've heard all that you've said about us." I was determined to have his opinion so that I could quote him to the girls, who would be clamoring for news when they heard that I had been out with the celebrated architect, whose arrival had been heralded in the social columns. "Heard what I said about you," he was replying to my accusation. "Why, I've only had the pleasure of knowing you a few hours. Fair Lady and," he hurried on, "as much as I dislike to reopen an unpleasant subject, it is almost necessary that I ask you which is the road that will bring us to the Davis?" "Honestly, Mr. Wright," I implored, "after hearing the family dissertation on that subject, did you really have any idea that we were going there when we once got started?" "But your father—I am his guest—I recall his insisting and telling you—" "Did YOU ever do everything YOU're father told YOU to do, Mr. Goody-Goody?" I interrupted. "And as for your being implicated, I guarantee to protect you. If father finds out that we ditched the Davis funeral, I won't let him scold you for heading his little, bitsy baby girl astray. Really, I won't. I'll protect you." I teased, with maddening solemnity. "All right; you win." he announced with a sort of I can't stand much more of THAT in his resignation "Where to, then, My Princess? I am at your service." "To the right." I commanded, and moved over as I gave the direction. "We're going to the party at Atlantic Beach. The bunch knew I'd get some way or other." He faced me for a moment, and I noticed from the rays of an arclight that there were little lines around his eyes, caused, not so much from laughter but from a keen, appreciating sense of Life and its complicated situations, which, I judged, he had grown to handle philosophically. I asked him to raise the windshield. I loved the breeze through my hair. It always gave me the thought of freedom and the wide, wide world. "Wish you'd step on it." I moved over a bit closer. The road stretched ahead with beckoning fingers, and there swept over me the strange, nomadic emotion that comes when I follow a road that leads on and on with no turning. "Yates" will be an oasis." I said enthusiastically. "Slowly but surely I am sinking. By the way." I continued, "how many did you and father have before dinner?" "It little 'bitsy girls shouldn't ask so many questions," he hitched me perfectly, but I noticed that the speed of the car increased slightly. --- At last the light of the roadhouse! The subdued yellow glow reached out through the darkness—friendly and alluring. "Come ahead, and I'll introduce you to some of those notorious fappers." I tried to look like a deacon and, taking his hand, we started toward the aurora cast by the wrought from lanterns. "Hurrah, its Sallie!" yelled one of a group standing on the verandah. I could see that the party was well under way, and that it needed no assistance on our part to keep up its hilarity. They crowded about us, and although I knew I was one of Ten years ago when Charles H. Jury of Pasadena, California, was 52 years old he reached the breaking point of his life. A year before he had been wiped out in business, losing everything he possessed but a small cottage and a bare plot of ground 75 by 100 feet. To add to his troubles he was stricken with incipient rheumatism of so progressive a nature that he became a "hopeless" cripple. Starvation faced him and his feeble wife. A specialist whom he couldn't told him he would not walk against him, they would never be given his hands again. A neighbor gave him a wheeled chain and he settled back to die, either of starvation or creeping paralysis. them I also realized that some of their enthusiasm was of the 'hail fellow well met' variety that makes even an unpopular arrival at a party feel welcome and a popular person a riot. "Hear ye all!" I announced, hopping onto a chair and drawing my words like a State Fair squawker, "its the famous Mr. Wright I'm introducing, the well-known architect, who builds the floors of his house with women's hearts—to tramp on." I ended. Mr. Wright laughingly threatened to pull the chair from under me and there was one thing I observed about him: while he was certainly not at ease in our crowd, he had evidently made up his mind to enter into things as whole-heartedly as possible. The way he took my foolishness was nothing short of splendid sportsmanship. "Drink anything, Sallie?" asked Ted Billings, who had been standing by my side since our approach was signaled. "Yes, anything!" I responded, and we moved toward the well known room at the far end of the Inn, overlooking the ocean. The pleasing sound of cracked ice against the metal cocktail shakers brought the rest of the crowd, and soon there prevailed a spirit of gay camaraderie. "I'm famished." I sighed defectedly, holding out my glass to the bartender." "Refill the prescription. That was a pretty good sample." I began to feel reckless. Then the unexpected happened. (Continued Next Week.) Thrifty Tips for the H O M E by FLO. Baked Apples: When baking apples they should be baked in a hot oven and frequently basted with syrup. White Clothes: White clothes of any kind that have turned yellow should be yut in the boiler, half full of water, to which a handful of salt and washing soda have been added. Let come to a boil and keep simmering for about three hours. Rinse the clothes in plenty of cold water and hang in the sun to dry. When they have dried they will be perfectly white. Custard: A custard that curdles in cooking can be made smooth by placing over cold water and beating with an egg-beater. Windows: Windows will be very gright if a lumv of starch is dissolved in the water with which they are to be washed. ..... Fruit Tart: Mix a little corn starch with the sugar when making a fruit tart before adding the fruit. This will make the juice thick and will prevent its boiling over. Furniture: When polishing furniture rub the same way as the grain. The furniture will polish much brighter and quicker. Lemon: Before squeezing the juice out of a lemon, warm it well in the oven. You will get twice as much juice from it. Linen: If a teaspoonful of salt is added to a basin of starch, the linen will have a gloss equal to new. Scissors: To sharpen scissors cut a piece of sandpaper to pieces. This will sharpen them very nicely. ened him that he determined to live and not only to live but to again earn money and to again take his place in the world of useful persons. He was resolved to make the barren ground he owned support him. Fighting back the numbness in his swollen hands and exercising them a few minutes out of each hour in the day despite the agony it entailed, he managed within three months' time to manipulate a hoe, and with this hoe and the aid of his wife he filled the entire plot of ground before the Spring of that year had closed.

In a New York hotel the other day, a woman guest came rather hurriedly to the desk and asked if she might have a blotter. The clerk, snilling, obliged her, and she disappeared toward her room.

The clerk assured her it was all right, but when she returned for the third, the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh, his curiosity got the better of him.

These doctors advised me to be operated on, as that was the only chance for me. I was advised to go and get some of L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicine and try to be fine being operated on. I did so, and in twenty-four hours after using his medicines 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.

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 Indication in her Herb Medicine at No. 220 W. Broad Street, Richmond, Va. I recommend Mr. L. J.

Los Angeles—Norman Serby, "Kid McCoy" of the prize ring is held here on charges of shooting and killing Mrs. Theresa Mors, wife of a former New York millionaire RIGHT This Week By Arthur Brisbane IRON FALSE TEETH WAR AND CRIME DOESN'T PAY YOUTH AND LAWLESSNESS. SOME CAN'T WEAR EM The great Krupp concern, maker of big cannon on which the Kaiser's power used to rest, now manufactures false teeth of steel, enamel, d the same steel that once went into fighting machinery. Can you imagine anything stranger in history than the possibility of the Kaiser wearing a set of false teeth made by the Krups? Not the same bite in that set as there was in the old cannon. Two things never pay—crime and war. The big war cost two hundred and fifty billions of dollars, besides lives lost. The Chicago crime that attracts attention will cost at least $800,000. It's expensive, even for taxpayers. They will supply about $100,000 as their share. The parents of the deprived youths that murdered young Frankis will spend about $500,000. That is the price of two young men's attempt to get $10,000 by kidnaping. Their two necks may be added to the total. A Hollander is on his way to Marseilles, a distance of 700 miles. To win a bet he must travel all the way turning somersaults. Starting in November, 1923, he has until next February 12 to finish the trip. About two million somersaults will cover the distance. The man is well padded, and seems quite happy, like many that think as he travels, also in somersaults. Italy doesn't know what to do with her wine crop this year. She has not enough casks to hold it. Citizens can walk into a wine cellar and "drink as much as desired" for a few cents. Good prohibitionists will say, "What terrible干瘁ness there will be in Italy." But they don't know the Italian people. They don't get drunk, whether the wine is cheap or dear. Judge Talley says, "The United States is the most lawless nation, and most criminals are youngsters." That's just it. The United States is a youngster. Youth is always lawless. Lawlessness is terrible, but there is one worse thing, and that is stagnation. Parts of the West that were once most lawless in the old gold fever days are now typically law abiding. This country will settle down. "There is a cure for exuberance, none for sterility." --- Disease is one of earth's mysteries. And most mysterious is the trouble that Nature takes to protect disease germs against their enemies, including man. For instance, the tubercular bacillus, which kills millions, lives encased in "a heavy capsule of fat," which gives it elasticity and protects it from its enemies in our blood. Sir Leonard Rogers, who has specialized in fighting leprosy, noticed the resemblance between the germs of leprosy and of tuberculosis, and tried on his consumptive patients injections of sodium morrhuate, that worked well in leprosy. It is the salt obtained from the body of codfish, and has shown extraordinary results in leprosy and tuberculosis. Knickerbockers are sensible, worn at the right time, but they are not for every female figure. In the North you see 'hundreds of young women in knickerbockers that remind you of the stone wall built by the honest farmer, "Three feet high, three feet wide," so that if it blows over it will be just the same. Some young ladies in knickerbockers would look about the same if they blew over. But why fine the poor creatures? Many are fining themselves to the value of one husband. A woman, eighty, bobs her hair, partly because she is tired of hearing young people of fifty and sixty talking about it. Some of the youngsters consider an eighty-year-old "boyish bob" amusing. But many a woman of eighty is literally younger than the worn-out flapper of eighteen or thirty-eight. It's the youth in the eyes, not in the years, that counts. HUSBAND WANTED.

Vituperative Bickering By All Factions Played A Prominent Part In Stirring Fight. PAMPHLETS USED TO SPREAD PROFAGANDA. The admission of Missouri as a slave state was one of the dominant issues of the cafpaign of 1824, which, failiny before the people, was decided by the House of Representatives. The bitterness and sectionalism of the contest never has been ejualled, the attacks on Crawford being measurably approached only by the intensity of malignity with which President Wilson was assailed in some quarters. The North was openly against the South, the East desperately against the West. Arguments, powerful, logical, illogical, true and untrue; intrigue; scurrilous attack and vituperative bickering marked the contest up to the very moment of the count. As to-day the Western farmer interest was arrayed against the Eastern industrial forces. TRY THE YOUTH AND BEAUTY PREPARATIONS. A Cure for all Scalp Trouble.

Nothing Succeeds Like Success, and to Achieve Success you Must Look Successful. And while it is true that clothes do not make the man, they give a reliable tip on the sort of man he is. 609 BROOK AVENUE MADISON 4459-J Adams made a deliberate appeal to New England and the North, charging that the South was dominating the entire nation in that every President for twenty-four years had come from the South. This phase of the campaign inflamed both Northerners and Southerners to a point that was reached only in the Civil War. Owing to the difficulties of travel the speechmaking was of a stationary character. The candidates had no opportunity to appear before the country. Likewise, the press had not reached any widespread circulation, and while it played an important part in the contest locally, chief dependence was placed on the pamphlet. The pamphleteers were busy day in and day out. Before the fight was ended these organs of publicity developed into a mass of literature of a disgraceful and, judged by present day standards, highly dishonorable character. Few of the pamphlets produced were of a positive character. Mostly they were negative, devoted to attack and vilification rather than to giving reasons why their favorite sons, they in whose interest they were written, should be elected. Jackson was openly attacked as a murderer, a military despot without regard for the Constitution or for law. The Jacksonites swung their acid at Crawford, charging him with being a Federalist. Crawford was clearly the favorite, but this charge hurt. North Carolina and New Jersey practically deserted him. Still he retained the advantage. According to custom the party was to caucus in Congress and make the nomination. Crawford was confident. Adams, Jackson and Clay were nervous. They combined to attack the infamy of the caucus system, denouncing it as anti-republican, the agency Mme. L. K. BULLOCK MARY MAY THESE are the WORDS of WISDOM.

Martin Van Buren of New York, genius in politics and with a powerful organization back of him, tried his best to check the reform wave, but the combined scheming of the opposition could not be overcome. The caucus was called. The galleries were packed to suffocation, but the members were only scantily represented. An effort was made to adjourn, but Van Buren, battling for Crawford, opposed it because no mutually convenient date could be set. The people, he said, expected a nomination. Then came the ballot: Crawford 64, Adams 2. Macon 1, Jackson 1. Crawford was declared the nominee, but 68 votes out of 261 did not satisfy the people—it meant nothing and so the scramble for office went to the people. Soon after that Crawford was stricken with paralysis, a doctor having administered lobella to him. Every possible pressure was brought to bear, to have him withdraw, but he steadfastly declined. "His pitiful condition" was alluded to by his supporters and denounced as hypocritical propaganda by his enemies. It was quite obvious that with four candidates there would be no election. Clay believed he could carry Louisiana, but he came out fourth. Jack son led with a majority over Adams greater than the entire vote of Crawford or Clay. The bitterness of the fight grew in intensity. Public fights were a common occurrence. Even duels were fought. Then came a dramatic episode. Henry Clay appeared at the Crawford home and entered. Crawford's hopes were blasted. (Mr. Howard will conclude his intereststig article in The Planet next week.) BATH AND BEAUTY PREPARATIONS. Scalp Trouble. Stops Falling Hair. Sandruff.

One day I heard of Exelento Quinine Pomade for the hair and purchased a jar. Almost immediately it stopped all dandruff, made my hair grow long, soft and fine, and gave it a delightful sheen. Because of the perfectly wonderful results I obtained from Exelento Quinine Pomade, I purchased a jar of Exelento Skin Beautifier. It changed my sallow complexion to a clear, lovely skin, glowing with health. For pimples and other skin blemishes, it has no equal.
