THE PLANET GREAT CROWDS THRONG WASHINGTON Calvin Coolidge of Massachusetts Inaugurated. President Now in His Own Right--Makes Rigid Economy and Tax Reduction Main Issue--Silent on Human Rights--Lines Up for World Peace. VOLUME XLII. NO. 17 GREAT Calvin President Main PRESIDENT CALVIN COOLIDGE. WASHINGTON. March 4 — Calvin Coolidge was sworn into office as President of the United States today. In keeping with the Coolidge preachment of economy in all the affairs of government, the ceremony lacked the ostentation and display which have marked past inaugurals. Coolidge took the cath at 1 o'clock on a stand erected at the east portal of the Capitol, Chief Justice Taft, officiating. Preceding him by half an hour, Charles O. Dawes took the cath as Vice-President in the Senate chamber and became that body's presiding officer. Near the President was Mrs Coolidge, his father and son, and other relatives, while backed on either side of the platform were members of his Cabinet, members of the Senate and House and other dignitaries. Before him was seated a vast throng which spread out far across the Capitol plaza. In the forefront of the crowd were members of the diplomatic corps and many distinguished guests of honor. Except for the grouping of American flags around the platform the sole touch of brilliance was given to the scene by the gaily-caparisoned uniforms of the Marine Band. Coolidge followed his taking of the oath with his inaugural address, which lasted just about forty-five minutes. Its theme was economy, and in its preparation the President wasted not one word nor used one unnecessary syllable. It was a cool, calculated, dispassionate review of the administration's program for continued economy, and reduction of taxation, with a few glittering promises for continued efforts by the administration to bring to the world an era of peace —Miss Eden Washington, of New York, was an the city last week, visiting relatives and friends. —Miss Alice B. Russell, the noted dramatic singer from Montclair, N. J., was presented here Thursday in reitaly at the Corey Lyceum of Union University. While here she is the guest of Mrs. S. L. M.

Cogbill. --- PRESIDENT KING CALLS VIRGINIA BAPTISTS TO SERVICE To the Pastors and Congregations which are committed to the Program of the Virginia Baptist State Convention: My dear Yoke-fellows in the Lord: Have you stopped to consider that on Wednesday morning, May 13th, at nine o'clock the Virginia Baptist State Convention will meet in its 68th Annual Session with the First Baptist Church of Newport News, Va., Dr. A.

The spacious Johnson's Auditorium ballroom was again a scene of rare beauty Wednesday night, when the members of the local chapter of the Phi Beta Sigma of Virginia Union University gave one of the most brilliant social functions of the season. Each year society looks forward to the wonderful balls given by the Phi Betas and each year the ball is voted more wonderful than its predecessor, but the mid winter soiree will always be "the Prom to be remembered". The decorations were carried out in blue and white effect and the ladies were gowned in some of the most exquisite costumes. The young men affected the new famous collegiate style. The ladies and gentlemen were creations of lovefulness and grace combined. Many local celebrities were in attendance, including well-known professional and business men. Society is indebted to Dr. C.

The Richmond Planet to publish this communication as follows: This is to certify that the First Baptist Church, of Buchanan, Va., hold its business meeting February 27, 1925 to investigate the cause of closing the church door against the pastor and congregation. In the investigation we found no cause against the Pastor to justify the action of the trustee board and the deacon board to close the church. Therefore, the trustee board and the deacons acknowledged their error and asked nardon and the church give them. And so 'Zon's door is open for service according to her former schedule.

WASHINGTON SEGREG CAMPAIGN TO ORG ON SEGREGATIONISTS WAGING A ON TO ORGANIZE THE ENTIRE CITY WASHINGTON SEGREGATIONISTS WAGING A CAMPAIGN TO ORGANIZE THE ENTIRE CITY (N. A. A. C. P. Press Service) White property owners of Washington, D. C., whose private segregation agreements are to be brought before the Supreme Court th's April by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, are attempting to organize the entire National Capital, so that colored peo' will be unable to buy or occupy property in any but the districts assigned to them. The segregation advocates are publishing their own daily newspaper, called "The North Capitol Citizen", which gives daily reports of the extension of the segregation movement. One of its recent issues which has come to the offices of the N. A. A. C. P. reports that for the first time in the history of the District of Columbia, all the 38 white property owners in a square, had placed on record in the office of the Recorder of Deeds an indenture prohibiting the sale of any of the property to any Negro or colored person for the next 21 years. The same issue of the North Capitol Citizen reports that organization of the segregation forces by blocks on a citywide basis is proceeding and the news is headed by such lines as the following: "Randolph Ploe Dancing Great Work", "S Street Continues to Get Results", "Adams Street Not to Be Outdone", "Other Streets Also Busy". Cases involving the sale of property to colored people are being vigorously pushed by the white property owners. And it is reported that Justice Hoehling has fixed March 10 as the date for commencing the trial of a case involving the sale of land at 69 Seaton Place. N. W., where fraud has been charged. James A. Cobb, attorney for the N. A. A. C. P., in the segregation case coming before the United States Supreme Court, reports that the white segregationists of Washington are closely watching all the movement's of the N. A. A. C. P. and are publishing in the North Capitol Citizens accounts of what the Advancement Association is doing in opposition to their movement. Commenting on this report James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the --- PRICE, FIVE CENTS Association, said: "This movement in Washington has all the earmarks of a crusade. Here we have a fanatical segregation organization which has for its purpose the pledging of white people of the whole city of Washington, block by block and street by street to enter into agreement not to sell property to Negroes. "This movement is a menace which apparently the colored people of the country have not yet fully realized nor are they fully aroused to its dangers. If this movement succeeds in Washington it will be put in motion 'n cities all over the country. The N. A. A. C. P. is fighting the matter through the. United States supreme Court. Members and friends of the Association should bear in mind that we are not contesting the right of white property owners to agree not to sell their property to Negroes, but we are contesting their right to invoke the powers of the State and the government to enforce such an agreement upon any person who wishes to break it and to sell his property to whomsoever he chooses. This is the cause of the case we now have in the Supreme Court. We appeal to colored people in their own interest to help us in this fight." Mrs Roberta Miller 18.

WORK SAYS NEGRO LIFE EXPECTANCY INCREASES, VOTING POSITION OF RACE IS STRENGTHENED. (Preston News Service) WASHINGTON, D. C.—Monroe N. Work, of Tuskegee Institute, for the last 20 years compiler of the Negro Year Book, after a recent survey, stated that the wealth of the Negroes in America as recent is about $2,600,000,000, which is one and a half times as much as it was in 1912. The amount extended in 1924 for Negro education totalled $40,000,000 as contrasted with $12,576,561 in 1912. To that year about 5,000 Negroes had completed college courses. In the last 12 years the number he doubled. During the past decade the Negro according to Mr. Work, has shown a declining death rate and an increasing health span. In 1912 the death rate a thousand was 22.9, while in 1922, ten years later, it was 15.7 a thousand. For Negro policy holders in the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company in 1912 the average expectancy of life for males and females of all ages from two years was 60. In 1922 the expectancy for males was 45.2 years and for females 46.1 years. Mr. Work noted tendency in poli- tics toward independence on the part of the Negro voter, and an increasing endency to vote the Democratic ticket locally. He also demonstrated a large increase to public office. Other features set forth in the year book are the entry and activities of colored women in politics, the gradual increase in the South of the number of Negroes allowed to vote, the increased effort of Negroes to break down the "white primary" in the South, and the population shifts of the last 13 years.

Ministers would be prohibited marrying white persons to those of different race. Fines of $500 to $1,000 and imprisonment from three to nine years would be imposed on persons violating the law. It is said that Mr. Roberts claims that the only way to preserve racial integrity in this country is to mete out severe punishment to persons who would destroy the purity of the Norsebs by intermarrying with other racial types.

THE INAUGURATION ADDRESS of President Calvin Coolidge is more the work of a politician than it is of a statesman. His essay avoids all controversial questions and his declarations are based upon a condition of affairs which has caused the people of this great nation to clamor for a lessening of the burdens imposed by the World War. He has a great task ahead of him and many of those who listened to his ringing announcements will immediately set the work to unify them. - The people of this country believe that the distinguished citizen of Massachusetts is sincere and that he will do all in his power to bring about a full realization of the plans, which he has fathered and which he expects to see put into effect during his term of office. Certain it is that Hon. Andrew W. Mellon, the Secretary of the Treasury is determined to have effected into law all of the financial proposals for the bettering of existing conditions and the im- President deglige has eschewed racial conditions and the indications are that the "black cabinet" will not function during the period of time that he occupies the White House in his own right. The President is known to be "brutally frank" within the continues of his office at the White House. Colored delegations will soon be pressing to ascertain just what recognition is to be accorded colored folks upon the basis of merit and ability. It is reported that President Coolidge remarked to a colored leader, who had been unduly frank in his expressions upon the race question and was retiring. "When I want you, I shall ring the bell." The bell never rang and if it did he could not hear it, for he was hard at work as an independent Republican within the Democratic Party lines. It may be that colored leaders in this country, including Hon. William C. Matthews of Massachusetts, who did so much 100 for the Republican Party and at the conclusion of the campaign did some plain talking to the Republican leaders, will be required to wait, too, for the ringing of the bell. President Coolidge hardly expects to succeed himself four years hence, having already served nearly a whole term and for this reason, he may not pay particular attention to those who are disposed to tender to him political advice. He has made a safe Chief Executive and the people of all parts seem to have respect for and confidence in him. WHITE FOLKS' TROUBLES. COLORED FOLKS, in some respects are peculiar, but in some others, they are very much like the white folks. Rev. Dr. J. Milton Waldron, the able pulpit divine of Washington, has been launching an attack on dancing in the public schools there, emphasizing the fact that the custom is immoral and demoralizing. He did not intimate that the lack of sobriety characterized these practices. We know that practically half the exhilarating effect of "tripping the light fantastic toe" is taken away, when it is confined to all of one sex. Women do not object to embracing women a minute or two and the same is true of men, but when it comes to keeping up the practice during an entire set, the case is different. But to the point. We notice in the New York Times of March 4th that the President of Hotel Bella-claire Broadway and Seventy seventh street, New York, announced that there, would be no more high school fraternity dances at the hotel, because there had been more drinking than dancing at many of the student organization "hops". Other leading hotels have announced a similar rule of action. The storm centre was the Sigma Tau Epsilon fraternity and its dance Friday night. February 27th. The dance was stopped only by admitting cold air through the windows and the police through the doors. Four of the students, too drunk to help themselves, were carried out through the rear entrance of the hotel. Hotel furnishings were destroyed and the employees swept up twenty-five empty whiskey bottles. In describing the situation, an ob server says: "Every hotel man knows that juvenile drinking has reached grave proportions. The hotels know that carried liquor is in evidence at practically every function arranged at hotels by student organizations, and they know that clandestine drinking by boys and girls of from 15 to 20 years of age is resulting in deplorable excesses". Theoretically, this condition so graphically described is impossible for there is no liquor legally obtainable in this country, except by prescription. The Government is expending more than twenty million dollars in a vain effort to enforce the drastic statute and the increase in taxation to support this expense is in the offing. The remedy is in the cradle and in the home and not in the halls of legislation at Washington and other parts of this country. It is as true as Holy Writ.

For by a very simple treatment you can stop the coughing spells almost instantly and often relieve the stubborn cough in 24 hours. This simple treatment is based on a remarkable prescription known as Dr. King's New Discovery for Coughs. You simply take a teapointful and hold it in your throat for 15 or 20 seconds before swallowing it, without following with the coughing spells. It not only soothes and heals soreness and irritation, but it quickly loses and removes the phlegm and congestion. The prompt relief of the heaviest cough seems almost magical. The prescription is highly recommended for coughs, throat sores, haemorrhoids and bronchitis and is wonderful for children's coughs and spasmodic croup—no opiates or other harmful drugs.

NEGRO INSURANCE COMPANIES Despite the spectacle of the racial loss of the Standard Life Insurance Company, long one of the pillars of pride of Race business, Negro insurance companies are making astounding strides forward. With the one exception mentioned, their progress has been most remarkable during the past decade. There is not a single backslider among the remainder, and the onward march of the North Carolina Mutual, The Liberty Life of Illinois, and the Supreme Casualty of Ohio would be a hard one for any of the white companies to equal in a proportionate way. White insurance companies have underwritten Negro business for years and years. Their returns have been tremendous from Negroes who have taken policies ranging from ten cents a week upwards. But the white insurance companies have taken care to save for their own race members the revenues derived from Negro business. It has been difficult for a Negro to procure a representative position with the Metropolitan or Equitable as it has been for him to work for an enterprise which was not deriving one single cent from his Race. Furthermore, these companies have been most careful to withhold from Negro applicants for insurance certain policies which they claimed the Negro was not entitled to because of the alleged high mortality of his Race. While it is true that certain white companies have cooperated wholesomely with movements to foster the health welfare of the Negro people. it cannot be said that, aside from policy principals in those cases which were acceptable to the companies, the Negro insurer and insured have made any outstanding gains from white companies. The tide is turning with rapidity. Life and health are now being underwritten by Race companies, and it is only a question of time when every phase of insurance can be procured from Race companies, meaning great advancement, security and employment for Race workers. We have never seen more orderly, better organized, or systematized insurance offices than those of a Negro company which we visited last week, and through out the company's offices there was the quiet serious atmosphere of safety as strong as Gibraltar, and efficiency equal to the best.

On both accessions, the fight going public flocked to Rickard's swa: emporium, and each time f. g. p. got value received for their money paid at the gate. Running true to the form that made him one of the biggest cards to draw New York fight followers to the box office, the Georgio tornado on each occasion went out to make the fight. Delaney's reply to the Flowers fistuff style was to backpedal on all cylinders, laying back for his killing right uppercet to the button. The Tiger's anxiety to please the sixth custodian Delaney immediately. The Bridgeport battler is decided at sea with a hostile opponent. He likes 'em rough and ready. The customers who paid to see Flowers in action watched Walk Miller's entry step along from the first bell. Flowers pressed his rangy antagonist around the ring, flailing away at head and body, Delaney occasionally shooting his poisonous right in a desperate attempt to end the mill. Despite a well intentioned attempt to remodel his highly pleasing aggressive fighting style, Deacon Flowers could not refrain from forcing the action in his return match. Seemingly, he does not know the meaning of the word caution. round—exceedingly so. A right and Delaney looked bad in the third left that landed on his head shivered the Bridport battler's timbeds and he did not look any too confident as the bell clamped. In fact the Georgian's admirers were congratulating themselves that their favorite surely would reverse the previous Delaney victory. Disregarding corner orders from Walk Miller who planned a conservative battle program for the initial part of the 15-round session. Flowers apparently unable to overcome his schooling to fight hard at all times, tore from his corner in the fourth round. Rushing Delaney into a neutral corner, the tigah man forgot his caution and unbuckled a brace of rights and lefts, Delaney equal to the tde occasion, unscored his right gun. The shot landed on the colored man's chin and he went down. He was hurt. In trying to arise, he fell back on the canvas just as Delaney, primed for the kill let fly with a savage right. This punch started by Delaney while Flowers was not on his feet, was a general alarm signal for the 12,000 souls present to excite themselves. The mob spirit flared up around the ringside with numerous fins howling that Flowers won on a foul. Just as many ringsiders protested that Flowers went down without being struck.

Referee Patsy Haley sent both fighters to their corners, announcing to some of the news paper men that he awarded the fight to Flowers on a foul. Ensued business of much arguing pro and con. Haley sensing a possible riot, reconsidered his decision and informed Manager Miller in Flowers' corner that Flowers went down without being hit, explaining that it was his earnest desire that the match continue. Under the excellent judgment, Haley excellent Flowers went to Miller. Miller nodded assent. Which probably explains the oft repeated claims of Miller that Flowers never accepted a contest on a foul unless totally disabled by a blow. That Flowers was still in a befud- Tiger Flowers dled state, was apparent when the fighters resumed the center of the ring. He tore out against Delaney in the 'second half' of the fourth round, but proved a mark for the hard hitting Bridgeport fighter, who measured him for a hard right upward. This time Flowers was counted out. Thus after winning on a foul (official verdict) Flowers lost on a knockout in the same round. Phones informed the gathering that After the combat, Announcer Hum the finish came in the "continuation of the fourth round". Thus, while the record will show that Flowers has twice been stopped by Delaney, neither the fighter nor the manager will suffer any loss of prestige.

There can be a day now that Jackie Briley bring light heavy weight, he is the master of Tiger Flowers, the Atlanta Negro. Last night in their scheduled twelve round bout at Milton Square Garden, before a crowd which packed the famous old argus Delaney actually knocked out twice. In the process Delaney came near being *qualified* for fouling in one of the most exerting and confusing finishes to a boxing bout seen here since the sport was established in this State. For purposes of record Delaney knocked out Flowers in the fourth round after 1 minute 5 seconds of action. A right flush to the face sent Flowers sprawling on the canvas in mid-ring and he was counted out by Referee Patty Haley. Before the finish, however, the boxing enthusiasts present, keyed to a high pitch had witnessed a double foul and a double knockout, and excitement ran high. All the trouble, as well as the finish, came in the fourth round. For three rounds Delaney had played possum with his colored rival, waiting for the big chance to drop over the right which knocked out Flowers to the last battle. Not until the fourth session, however, did the opportunity come, and then things began to happen. DELANEY DISQUALIFIED. In the last minute of the fourth session on Delaney worked Flowers to a control corner and with a right to the jaw drove Flowers against the ropes to stile to the floor. Flowers resigned his feet without waiting for a count but when he saw Delaney rushing across the ring to finish the job Flowers dropped to one knee without being hit. This, under the rules justified his disqualification. Before action could be taken, however it, indeed, Haley contemplated disqualifying Flowers. Haley eager and excited with victory within his grasp, continued his advance upon Flowers and while the colored fight' it was done roasting and awaiting court on his left knee, drove a head right to Flowers' face. Hue Referee Haley stepped between the boxes and ordered each to the corner. The arbiter then declares his intention of disqualifying the latter was down. The crowd was bracing for striking flowers while in an unbridled and clamored for an official announcement from the ring, considering the matter, and at the urgent protests of Delaney and his handlers, Haley, after aapse of several minutes, decided to let the contest resume, and notified the timekeeper, Eddie Munson to start the fourth round over again. There were only a few passages aturing in the revised fourth round when flowers crumpled in a heap in mid ring as Delaney sent a right to the face. This finish satisfied everybody. GODFREY STOPS JACKSON. George Godfrey, Philadelphia colored heavyweight, who is a sparring partner of Champion Jack Dempsey, knocked out Tut Jackson, Washington Courthouse (Ohio) colored fighter, in the fifth round of their scheduled twelve-round semifinal bout, a right to the jaw sewn Jackson to the floor thirty seconds after the start of the fifth round. Referee Patty Haley halted the contest then dispensing with the necessity for counting Jackson out. The Ohioan was floored three times in the fourth round, once for a count of hix and twice for nine counts, the bell coming to his rescue. A few light lefts to the face followed by a right to the jaw finished Jackson in the fifth. Subscribe to The Planet Coids, Grippe, Dengue, Headaches, Constipation, Billiousness.

NEWYORK, U.S.A. MADE BY THE EAGLE PENCIL FACTORY JR. THE WORLD (on 8 Hm. Friday) Hill has not been able to get up from his bed or to examine to raise his head from the pillow since March 27, 1912. He was stricken with a peculiar form of rheumatism in 1910. He tried all the known remedies. None of them did him any good. In 1912 he was put to bed, and the doctor, after an examination, told him he would never walk again. JOINTS PULLED FROM SOCKET His muscles had drawn taught and pulled the joints of his limbs from their sockets. Undoubtedly to lie flat on his back for the remainder of his days, Hill covered wristmered. After 15 years of this he still signs all his letters with his Wife with a Grin. He believes that he has done anything other than any one else. PIVE of the finest examples of fortitude since Job. For, you see, Hill did, not drop back upon charity for a living when he learned his fate. He just called his wife, and together they faced the future with a determination to see it through on their own. MAKES OWN LIVING Disease had ruined Hill's body, but his mind was unimpaired, and Mrs. Hill could get about and also help him plan. Soon opened up a magazine and magazine subscription agency, and from their small home in Piqua they are doing fairly good business, and making a living. Hill's bed is equipped with rubber-tired wheels, and when he and his wife attend any of their lodge conventions the bed is pushed to station.

Can you truthfully report that since leaving Lynchburg you have done your bast to be ready when the roll is called for Newport News, or have you been resting on your oars to put forth a sort of hurry-up, half-hearted effort at the last moment? These last moment, hurry up efforts will forever keep God's Churches, Schools and Missionaries on the starvation list, and we, ourselves, robbed of God's blessings by s'n of neglect. Our Church began to raise its money on Sunday after the last Convention and has seen at work the failure. If you have been slothful, please get busy; God's cause is suffering while you wait. If you like your President, have worked all the year, fight on warrior, don't turn back nor slack the hand until victory is won for Him who redeemed us by his blood. Seven years ago in Newport News you made me President. If you are pleased with my humble service, come to the same city after seven years and gladden my heart with a real success. May I call your attention to a few things which I hope you will not only consider well, but permit them to influence your actions on this occasion? The first is the Virginia Theological Seminary and College with an enrolment of more than five hundred students is counting on you to see that its bills are paid and that continuity and growth are guaranteed. Second, there is no endowment or wealthy contributors to save the life of the institution should we fall. Third, there is no available help to supplement a shortage should we even make a partial failure; but the running of the School next year depends solely upon us and our actions at the coming Convention. Last year it cost us $106,000 on one and six thousand dollars to keep and six thousand dollars to keep all of it was placed upon the altar by people of our own race, who of necessity must give in small bits. Fourth, the Foreign Mission program of our Convention has likewise grown and imposed upon us a much larger obligation than ever before, one of the largest Missionary Stations on African soil is the child of the Virginia Baptist State Convention; thus you see what a large portion of Christ's world program rests on our shoulders. We say large because thus it seems to us, but compared with what others are doing it is but a drop in the ocean. My brethren, can the Lord depend on you? Shall His cause be turned from your door empty handed? The Honorable E. Lee Trinkle, Governor of Virginia, and the biggest man that has been in the chair for some years, said from the pulpit of Fifth Street Baptist Church, Sunday March the 1st, "The time has come when you people must no longer depend upon others to do for you; but as the opportunity is accorded must do for yourselves." Come on men, this is the opportunity. Hurrah! Rally! Be Men! Your devoted President.
