John Mitchell, Jr., convicted in the Hustings Court of false and fraudulent entries with intent to defraud the Mechanics Savings Bank, will have a new trial, the Supreme Court of Appeals today reversing his case on several grounds.
The original indictment against Mitchell contained eighteen counts. These were reduced to three. On a motion to quash, two of these, charging larceny of $19,000, were eliminated, leaving the matter of the entries to be determined by the jury.
The appellate court today held that having charged that the entries were "false and fraudulent" it was necessary for the commonwealth to prove this and that on the face of the record there was failure of proof on this point. It was also held, among other things, that the trial court's instruction on the weight of character evidence was erroneous.

FLORIDA'S "WHIPPING BOSS"
ON ANOTHER MURDER CHARGE
(Crosson News Service)
CROSS CITY FLA, March 18.—Evidently T. W. Higginbotham, the notorious "whipping boss" of the Putnam Lumber Company did not learn a lesson from the humiliating experiences and wide publicity given him in connection with the death of Martin W. Talbert, a white youth, alleged to have been caused by beatings administered by "Brute" Higginbotham, who is to face charges of murder in connection with the recent death of Lewis Barker, who is alleged to have been the victim of the "Brute's" lash.
It is said that Barker has been missing since October, 1924 and recently his skeleton was found on the property of the Putnam Lumber Company. Higginbotham is alleged to have severely beaten Barker several times early in October.
Higginbotham was convicted in 1923 on a charge of second degree murder and sentenced to 20 years in the penitentiary. He appealed the case and was granted a new trial and was subsequently released pending a new trial. Following the finding of the skeleton of Barker, the "whipping boss" was arrested and granted his liberty again on a $20,000 bond.
A HUMAN MECHANICAL WONDER
When in the city recently Mrs. M. C. Adams, wife of Rev. Dr. R. G. Adams, gave an interesting account of a human mechanical wonder. A colored man, who is badly crippled, has a natural ability for repairing ether clocks or watches. He can tell the time of day at any moment without consulting a timepiece. He can be called at any hour of the night and can do the same thing. The information given is accurate as he specifies the minute of the day and he has been subjected to all kinds of tests by white and colored people. He has never received any instructions along this line. He resides at Portsmouth. Va. and his name is Henry Watkins.
—Mrs. Willie Lewis left the city last week for Charlottesville, Va.
—Mrs. Alease Sully, 611 N. Seventh street, who has been confined to her room is slowly improving.
—Mrs. Alberta Jenkins Stevenson and her little son, Joseph returned from Washington last week. They attended the inauguration.
—Mrs. Ardella Patterson, of New York City was called to the city last week on account of the death of her brother, Mr. Edward Johnson, Sr.
—Dr. A. H. Robins 100 in 1 is magical in its effect upon the human body. It will pay you to keep a bottle on hand with the full strength.
—Dr. W. J. Pettis is doing a thriving business in his palatial offices at Second and Clay streets. His patrons are well pleased.
—Mr. William R. Cogbill left the city last Thursday for his home in Boston.
—Mr. Ray Hollinger is keeping the Globe Theatre up to its record of high class amusements and its critical patrons are all well pleased. It is necessary to go early now in order to secure a choice seat.
—Messrs. Miller and Archer have a large and steadily increasing rental list and they are inviting the public to take advantage of their services.
—Dr. H. A. Allen is steadily increasing the number of his patients, who come to him for treatment, by the prompt service he is rendering. He answers day or night calls.
—Dr. Albert A. Tennant had a slight accident to his car recently, but it did not interfere with his movements. He is so busy that he is pressed for time to take his meals. His Madame looks the picture of health now, despite the recent surgical operation to which she was subjected in Washington.
—Dr. L. J. Hayden is "a seven days wonder". His preparations have stood the test for more than twenty years and he is still caring the people. Call and see him.
—King's Confectionery on Second street is one of the most attractive establishments in the city. It is kept as "meat as a pin" and the service rivals the best in the city.
—Mr. John A. Hines has a green grocery, wood and coal, quick lunch room, all combined in one. Mrs. Harris is the manager. His cleaning and pressing establishment and the shoe repairing department is next door.
—Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson announces that the trouble with Manhattan Lodge of New York has been adjusted. A slight fine was assessed and the lodge re-elected its former officers.

RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, MARCH 21, 1925.
Richmond colored people this week and next are being asked to give $50,000 to Virginia Union University and Hartshorn Memorial College as their, part of a building and endowment fund of $600,000. Negroes throughout the State will be asked for an additional $50,000 and later white friends for $200,000. The general education board of the Baptist Church will then give these schools $300,000 more, bringing the entire amount to the $600,000 needed. Because Negroes are to be asked to give only $100,000 of the sum sought the campaign committee selected "5 for 1" as the slogan for the appeal. A campaign organization has been completed, which is combing every nook and corner of the city because, as officials have pointed out, it is absolutely essential for the colored people to raise their part of the fund. "Give Negroes self-sacrificing, far seeing, industrious, upright, thoughtfully trained leaders and the race will work out its own future", Rev. W. T. Johnson, D. D., president of the board of trustees, declared. Two dormitories, one for girls and one for boys, and a science hall are badly needed, Dr. William J. Clark, president of the university, stated. The present enrollment is nearly 700 students, 200 more than have been graduated from Hartshorn since its beginning 46 years ago.
A short time ago, Virginia Union University was recognized by the state board as a standard four year college and it is the only place in Virginia where colored youth can receive any college education or training that will prepare him to teach in colored high schools, Dr. Clark pointed out.

DEACON JOHNSON PASSES AWAY
The funeral of Deacon Edward Johnson, Sr. who departed this Life Wednesday, March 11th at his residence, 29 E. 18th street took place Friday at 2 o'clock from the Morning Star Baptist Church, Rev. Thomas Smith, the pastor, officiating. Mr. Johnson had been an officer in this church for a number of years and was well known by the church going people of the North and South side. So kind and courteous in his manners, he was familiarly known as "Sunny Boy" Johnson by his most intimate friends. The deceased had been falling in health for more than 18 months, but he bore it all with Christian patience. He leaves many relatives and friends to mourn their loss. The interment was made in Mt. Olivet Cemetery, the colored section of Maury's.

STAUNTON MASONS CARRY GRAND LODGE OF VA. INTO COURT
STAUNTON MASONS CARRY GRAND LODGE OF VA. INTO COURT
STAUNTON, VA. March 12—With the door literally closed in their faces, nine men sought today to have it reopened by the City Corporation Court as the outgrowth of a mandate of the Grand Lodge of Masons in Virginia, suspending them from membership in the local lodge for three to comply with a duly enacted law that fraternal society.
R. S. Ker heard the pleas of the men through their counsel, setting up the convention that the order of the Grand Lodge was invalid, and will hand down a decision at a later date.
Complainants in the suit against the local lodge and the Grand Lodge at Richmond are: Dr. S. L. Scott, A. C. Mabrey, L. C. Jones, John Childs, Coleman Jackson, Noah Brown R. B. Wilson, Edmund Scott and B. Finke.
Some months ago the Grand Lodge passed a law directing that members of subordination lodges take out an endowment policy, payable at death to their widows and orphans. Approximately one year's grace was granted for compliance with the order, which terminated early in December.
The complainants refused to abide by the Grand Lodge's directive on the ground that the law was invalid, but when they learned the local lodge had shut them out its facto and refused to recognize their previous good standing they resorted to the courts to regain them.
Counsel for the plaintiffs based his fight for their reinstatement on the same grounds which the complainants refused to comply with the mandate, that it was invalid.
The action was demurred by counsel for the lodges, setting up the contention that a civil court has no jurisdiction in the matter, there being no civil rights involved, and the only question presented being purely a matter of internal management of the lodge. It was contended that the court had no jurisdiction.
A large number of spectators were present to hear the case as it was

Addison St. 19 years of age was lying on a "cooking board" of W. A.

The story told by Danton Clinton, of 708 Buchanan street is interesting. She says they had been together that Sunday and had a "drink or two". In fact, both were in such a condition that they fired, each of them, the revolver one time each in the street that might and before they were detected, they went to 901 Short 19th St. where Addison asked her if she wanted to see him do something funny.
FIRED IN HIS OWN MOUTH.
He put the muzzle of the revolver in his mouth closed his lips upon the barrel and pulled the trigger. Death was instantaneous. There were no powder stains anywhere and as he lay there at the undertaker's establishment, he looked as peaceful and as un-disfigured as though he had died a natural death. Only by opening his mouth could it be seen that his tongue had been split by the explosion. The conclusion reached was that he was so drunk that he did not know what he was doing.

In Memoriam
WILLIAMS—In memory of my beloved son, John Williams, who died nine years ago, March 15, 1916:
I sit oftimes lone and weary,
After the toll of the day,
Thinking of my darling boy
Who is far, far away.
Called in the bloom of manhood,
Just in the prime of life,
Away from this world of sorrow
To the land where all is bright.
The stars are dimly shining
Upon the lonely grave,
Where sleepepth without waking,
One we loved but could not save.
Sufferings are over,
Trials are done: ...
Rest in Heaven
Until mother comes,

Some this 20-year-old "stenog" defied the state's organized manufacturers, who attempted to use her to break the minimum wage law, and pitted her will and wits against their lawyers and millions. Helen was working for a local detective agency when one day she got orders to report for a job as chocolate dipper in a candy factory. The boss refused her the $24 a week minimum under the law, and offered her $4. She was forced to turn it down.

Once my hair is anything but long and silky soft as it is now, and my complexion was sallow, and there were often unsightly pimples on my face.
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 clear, lovely skin, flowing with health. For pimples and other skin blemishes, it has no equal.
If I am as beautiful as people say, it is all due to Exelento preparations. Exelento Quinine Pomade and Exelento Skin Beautifier may be obtained for only 25¢ at most drug stores, or will be sent postpaid upon receipt of price by the

Simple Exercise
Thousands are troubled with persistent coughing at night, which by robbing them of valuable sleep weakens their systems and lays a weak foundation for more severe cough can quickly act to prevent this danger through a very simple treat-ment. You can also make it more able to rest at all on account of coughing spells have found they can sleep the whole night through uninterrupted often the first time they try it.
The treatment is based on a remarkable prescription known as Dr. Brennan's prescription. You simply take a teaspoonful at night before retiring, and hold it in your mouth for several minutes before swallowing it, without following with water. The prescription is a mixture of soothes and heals soreness and irritation, but it quickly loosens and reduces the pain and congestion of the coughing. The result is you usually sleep soundly the very first night, and the condition goes in a very short time.
The prescription is highly recommended for coughs, chest colds, hoarseness, and bronchitis, and is wonderful for children's coughs and spasmodic croup—no harmful drugs. Economical, too, as the dose is only one teaspoonful. At all good drug-gists. Ask for

The following story shows how the

it unnecessary and undesirable. He

group looked forward to the expected
debate.
"At the next meeting of the commit.

‘The white North and the white South are
blending more and more each year, forgetting
the great internal conflict of the sixties and
the bleaching bones of Gettysburg, Antietam
and Vicksburg, when the Union was nearly
torn asunder by the intersectional combat. It
is good that friendship has taken the place of
dissension in a nation which, as Lincoln said:
cotild not endure half slave and half free} and
it is good that this devout wish for an insep-
arable nation has been realized.

The South Carolina bill provides that moy-

and lends strength to the presumption that
the BRETHREN may have an auspicious
place in the Pennsylvanians’ coming celebra-
tion: Pennsylvania has much to present iu
the way of an exhibition of the attainments of
its Negro citizens. ‘As far back as 1920, the
U. S. Census gave Philadelphia a Negro pop-
ulation of 134000 and upwards: Philadel
phians now roundly assert that this population
is now approaching the 200,000 mark, ‘There
is undoubtedly a reason for this. It must be
admitted that executives and officials of the
Keystone State, partly by sheer of good wiil
and partly by pressure of the BRETHREN
themselves, have seen to it that the citizens of
Pennsylvania have an active participation i1
the affairs of its government. .
(Under Dr. Bllen C, Potter, Director of the
State Department of Welfare, effective work
has been done to make comfortable and healthy:
the State’s Negro citizens. Experts from our
own ranks» such as Forrester B. Washington,
A.L. Manly, John T. Clark and others, have
kept faithful watch upon the industrial and
housing conditions which our Pennsylvania
group has faced) Employment has been
plentiful, and our race members have become
thrifty, educated, and promotive of genuine
progress in an atmosphere normally free from
prejudice and full of political opportunities.
‘The professions and businesses among our
€roup have thrived in the Keystone State.
It is to be ardently hoped that eminent
colored ladies and gentlemen of this country
as well as from over the seas will receive in.

coming Exposition. Our race is proud of
Pennsylvania and of Philadelphia: as to which

SMOOTH HAIR IN FIVE MINUTES
NO OILS. NO SOAP. NO IRONS—
A SIMPLE HOME TREATMENT.
While in the army I met a Colored Prince
from his hometown in Missouri. He had
a novel blood color: spike French, English
and other languages and had beautiful silky, smooth
hair. We became acquainted and I asked him
what he used on his hair. He told me it was a
family secret, which we used exclusively
for our generations.
I did a him favor and he repaid me by giving
me the recipe for this wonderful hair dressing
so that I might pass it on to thousands of
young men. I do not turn it red, does not make the hair
slick and greasy looking, but makes it lay
smooth, and pretty. No matter how short,
or how thin your hair may be, nowadays
we smooth silky hair with a natural aneurysm.

address and put a $100 bill or money order
from your local bank. I will send you a $100
Jars of Bear Oil Hair Dressing. You pay for
the one, the other is yours free to keep or sell

Secretary Weeks tells the Congressional com-itter that he holds no grudge against Brigadier-General Mitchell for telling the truth, and that he has no thought of disciplining General Mitchell. That is welcome. The people would like to think that the truth is not kept from them by official threats.
Science says the greatest battle of the human race is to be against insects and microscopic germs. Those tiny enemies do infinitely more harm than ever was done by all the wild beasts and poisonous reptiles that men have gradually conquered. Insects and plant insects destroy billions every year in crops and forests. And germs destroy millions of lives.

Young men with courage and ambition TURN YOUR MINDS TOWARD FLYING. Ex-service men that flew in the war, cheer up. Henry Ford and his son are building all-metal monoplanes, and small dirigibles, with all-metal gas containers.
That means opportunity.
Be among the first to get one of the monoplanes that will "fly 140 miles an hour, and carry a useful load of 2,000 pounds.
Such a machine, once he knows how to run it, should enable a young man of the right kind to earn 1,400 a year, and that empire $800 a week, would be a "useful load" to carry home each Saturday.
For information write to Henry Ford, or better still, to Edsel Ford, Dearborn, Michigan.
Mark this prediction: Within twenty years a million Americans that now ride in automobiles, labeled "Ford," will fly in airplanes also labeled Ford and go 100 miles on a gallon of gasoline and no tire wear.
The Queen of Belgium bobbed her hair, and there is much excitement. Kings and Queens take up new ideas cautiously. The King of England still drives to the opening of Parliament in a gilded coach drawn by six or eight cream-colored horses. And he wears a crown on State occasions, although everybody knows that the crown has long been the property of the House of Commons. If Carlyle, creator of "Sartor Resartus," were here he would find deep meaning in the Queen's bobbed hair.

JAMES SIMPSON'S PREDICTION.
MAN'S GREATEST WAR.
GET YOUR MONOPLANE.
THE QUEEN BOBS HER HAIR.
Manufacturers that produce, merchants that distribute and workers that depend for employment on generally prosperous conditions will be interested in one paragraph of a letter just received from Mr. James Simpson, president of Marshall Field & Company.
Mr. Simpson, whose business far exceeds one hundred millions a year, writes:
"Business for the year starts off very well with us, and the general feeling of confidence is developing with just enough conservatism to make me feel certain that we are entering upon a period of sound business development and activity."
Mr. Simpson's opinion does not merely reflect the enormous retail business done by Marshall Field & Company in Chicago.
The wholesale department of Marshall Field, biggest in the United States, reaches into every corner of the country, doing business with thousands of merchants.
There is no better test of national conditions than the story told on the books of that gigantic firm.
The duty of each citizen is to believe and say that prosperity is here, that it will remain and grow, and that this nation will realize to the full its extraordinary position and opportunities among the nations of the world.
We have everything that any

Poem
by
Uncle John
Lookin' toward the future
holds a fascination strange, for
ambitious human nature' ever
thirstin' for a change, — And,
though we're doin' well enough
as on our way we prance, we
embrace a resky promise every
time we get the chance!
Lookin' toward the future
holds the element of doubt—
jest enough to spur a feller who
delights in findin' out—No—it
aint the fact of dyn' that
arouses latent dread — it's the
likelihood of sufferin' at the
cross-roads on ahead
Lookin' toward the future fer a better, brighter day, we escape the hauntin' memory that would face us t'other way — While there's nothin' quite so certain as a snooze beneath the sod, nobody doubts the future of a parnership in God!

Richmond, Va. July 8, 1915.
A perfect cure has been effected by L. J. Hayden's Pure Herb Medicines. After waiting thirteen years and have not suffered from the humiliate disease, Gravel, I desire to make a statement to L. J. Hayden.
Thirteen years ago twelve leading physicians of my city treated me for kidney trouble and gravel without the desired benefit. These doctors advised me to be operated or, 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 fore being operated or. 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. PAGE.

I was cured of a very bad case of Rheumatism by two bottles of L. J. Hayden's wonderful Herb Medicine, after suffering a long time with the dreadful disease. I was unable to move hand or foot, and after I had taken three doses of the medicine I was able to get out of my bed and walk across the floor, and only two bottles of the medicine has made me a perfectly well man is every respect. I cannot give Mr. L. Havilyn too much praise for what he has done for me. I have sent many other letters on this occasion, and also longer cured. My daughter was also cured of Rheumatism and Indigestion by L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicines at No. 220 W. Broad Street, Richmond, Va. I recommended Mr. L. J. Hayden as one of the greatest healers of the sick on earth. Respectfully.
