BURRELL INJURED BY TRUCK Rev, Sobt t C, Burrell, D, D., the well known and popular secretary of the Y, M, C, A., corner of Third and Leach streets, met with an accident Friday night. 2nd inst. at about 10 o'clock. He was struck by a truck owned by Emma Moody, 921 St. John street and driven gy Walter Smith, a plasterer, of 1206 W. Clay street. The witnesses summoned were Dr. Zenobia B. Gilpin. 1019 St. Peter street; Dr. A. A. Tennant, 316 E. Clay street; Dr. Moseley, 1213 Boyd street; Mary Massey, 500 Gilliam street; Henry P.ckles, 532 1-2 N. REV. SCOTT C. BURRELL, D. D. Second street; Charles Bailey, 208A W. Leigh street; John Wright, 8 W. Clay street; R. V. Dorsey, 520 N. Adams street; Officers H. E. Taylor and J. H. Woods. JAW BONE BROKEN Smith was charged with careless and reckless driving. Rev. Dr. Burrell was carried home at first by an ambulance and after a brief consultation, his condition being critical, it was deemed advisable to remove him to the Retreat for the Sick. He suffered a broken or fractured lower jaw bone from side to side, his teeth being knocked out. He had a bruise on the side of his face and was injured in the back, it being feared that his spine was injured. The weight or the testimony was that the truck was moving slowly and that he had an umbrella over him to shelter him from the driving ra n. WALKED INTO TRUCK It is also stated that he had lecters in his hand, which he was scanning and that he practically walked into the truck. He later was able to converse and is reported to have said that he did not wish the driver of the truck punished. During the incapacity of General Secretary Burroll the board has named Rev. Samuel Turner, Prof. R. P. Daniel and Mr. William Spurlock to conduct the work under the general supervision of President John S. Powell. --- Macon, Ga., Sept.—The Macon Telegraph, leading daily paper of this city, commenting editorially on recent lynchings, says: "We have not yet emerged from the age of barbarism. Unless there comes out of these crimes and all other crimes in which men take the laws under which we live into their own hands, the swift and sure punishment that should come, we cannot really claim to be civilized. We have the veneer of civilization and the coatings of culture and th luxuries of modern invention, but if we condone these crimes against society we have the primal instincts of the brute and the savage." --- Mr. and Mrs. Edward Bailey and Miss Jeraldine Boxley, of Asbury Park, N. J. spent several weeks here the guest of Mr. and Mrs. James Jones, of 14 E. 20th street and Mrs. Roberta Miller, of 12 E. 20th street. They left last week for their homes after a pleasant stay. C.

It was first reported that 100 men had been killed, but this proved to be erroneous. The fireman escaped, but was sso badly scalded that he dide shortly afterwards. The engine was located about 75 feet from the 18th Street entrance. In an effort to rescue any men, who might be alive, a steam shovel was used and this caused a part of Jefferson Park at 21st and Marshall Streets to begin to slide and work had to be abandoned. Crowds gathered and traffic over the Marshall Street Viaduct was abandoned. Benjamin Pollins, who resides at 1814 E. Marshall Street, and whose home is in South Carolina, was killed almost instantly, Tuesday, 6th inst., on Washington Street, just about two blocks west of Seventeenth Street, by a steam shovel at work on Shockoe Creek. The large iron steam shovel had been disconnected from the engine and was on the ground in close vicinity of the revolving steam shovel house and was being used as a pile driver, putting poles in the bed of the creek.

PRICE, FIVE CENTS JOSEPHINE LEGGETT MISS GOLDEN BROWN Wins Beauty Crown and Hudson Coach. Famous Star to Be Honored At Atlantic City October 9th. OTHER NATIONAL LEADERS IN GREAT EVENT. MEMPHIS, TENN.—Miss Josephine Leggett, striking race artiste, and a star of the Shuffle Along Company on its triumphal tour, is Miss Golden Brown of America. According to announcement made today at the offices of Madame Mamie Hightower, offi- cial check by the Golden Brown Chemical Company since the close of the great National Golden Brown Beauty Contest on Tuesday, September 15, determines Miss Leggett as the victor. To her then, at Atlantic City, on October 9-10, during the First Annual Golden Brown Beauty Pete will be presented a latest model Hudson Super-Six Coach. Her expenses to Atlantic City are also borne by the Golden Brown Chemical Company, manufacturers of Golden Brown Beauty Preparations. A valuable trouseau is to be given also. Miss Leggett, always one of the most popular of race stage favorites, has recently made a swing where she has been acclaimed in many of the nation's largest centers, including Pittsburgh, Louisville, Indianapolis, Columbus, and a dozen more cities, her engagements being extended to one week by demand in these centers. Theodore McDonald is a member of the same.company. According to Madame Hightower, of the Golden Brown Chemical Company, votes came in torrents during the closing days of the contest: "Crucial moments," says Madame Hightower, "friends of contestants fought bitterly for their favorites, and it was anybody's Hudson up to the last, with positions constantly shifting. Emphatically our race is interested in beauty. That is proved by the tremendous vote cast." Four other contestants from as many states have won free trips to Atlantic City to the fete, with all expenses paid, and a fine trouse-free. They are Miss Texas (Mrs. Lula Booth), who polled over 225,000 votes; Miss Ohio (Miss Mabel Peoples), who polled over 168,000 votes; Miss Columbia (Miss Gladys Randolph) who had more than 150,000 votes, and Miss Wisconsin (Miss Lina Gray), just under the 140,000 mark. Miss Leggett, the national winner, polled over 300,000 votes, according to final count and re-check. Miss Randolph Spurts Miss Randolph, by far the youngest of the capital prize winners, also won a diamond bar pin for being the leader in the contest for the week ending September 15. She was never a serious contender until the final week of the contest, when by the great work of her friends she finished fourth in the nation. Since May 15 votes have been packed with all Golden Brown Preparations, and a deluge of these have been cast from all parts of the country in order to find the race's real choice as the most beautiful and fair of our flowers. The National Reception Committee at Atlantic City includes Robert L. Vann, of the Pittsburgh Courier, and a notable assemblage of artists, publicists and writers of our Group. Diamond rings are to be awarded to the state leaders following the capital prize winners. A full list of diamond ring winners in the United States will be published in this paper next week. Also votes polled by the various state leaders.

SOMETIMES we think from what we see and hear that there are in proportion as many people in prison, who should not be there as there are people outside of prison who should be in there.

The only way for them to obtain their rights and privileges is to get into it, although they should exercise discriminating judgment in dealing with the elective franchise. WHITE AND COLORED FOLKS are still getting away from the Word of God and from religion and the result is that they are being caught as it were in a spider's web. The more they complain and struggle, the less is the liability of their getting out. GOL. HENRY W. ANDERSON announced recently that two-thirds of the white people of Virginia are practically disfranchised. This has caused the colored folks to let us on their complaints. They have so much good white company out here in the field of disfranchisement that they are not worried. The government as now administered will be turned upside down after a while.

THE PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS. THE ADDRESS of President Calvin Coolidge delivered last Tuesday before the American Legion's representatives at Omaha, Nebraska was in the nature of a masterpiece in its review of fundamental principles and in the array of great ideals. It calls the nation back to its "first love", so to speak. Racial antipathies and religious bigotry linked up with rank parisianry have had so much play as to seriously endanger the safety of the Republic itself. The axiom, "Truth fears nothing, but concealment" and the essence of the experience of centuries summed up in, "It is not the severity of punishment that checks crime, but the certainty of it" seem not only to have been ignored, but absolutely forgotten. It is to be hoped that the Chief Executive of the nation will continue to drive home these fundamental truths until the American people are fully awakened to the dangers of fanaticism, whether that fanaticism expresses itself in religion, racial antagonisms or antipathies to alcoholism. He must move along conservative routes in order to accomplish permanent reforms. THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND' VIRGINIA By "THE CAMERAMAN." 2 TUT! TUT! PROF. SCARBOROUGH 3 ONE HUNDRED BABY FINGERS. (Preston News Service) ties like Cleveland, Chicago, Philadelphia, and New York the more I am convinced that the best place for the average Negro, is a farmer, and if he is in any degree, as such, is in the farming district of the South. It is a well known fact that wherever Negro people gather in large rural groups, prejudice is intensified and the situation of the color problem is indeed difficult and is longer deferred", writes S. S. Scarborough, formerly of the State and president of Wilberforce University's Current History Magazine. This sort of unlike Germany's warning to the Negro to lausitania, and its subsequent demolition of the barbaric nation. First speaking of the 'average Negro is a farmer", is like saying 'the average, if he is a baseball player, should the baseball districts'. There are the hills and thousands of Negro farmers, ordering to the U. S. Census Bureau, who probably has fair means of studying position and occupations, the average Negro the average white man is not a fair nose of his ranks, who pursue that lau employment, should decide what their moral should be upon a specialized job the Negro as a Negro, and without resignation other than his citizenship, can move to and fro, just as he sees fit. There is no reason why he should immer just to escape the congested New York or Chicago. Even the average is not a pawnbroker, and it would common sense to have him change and retreat to the streets of Jerusalem. The fact is that if other Americans live in Cleveland, Chicago or New York neglected or otherwise, just so should American Negro expect to thrive in cities, and the citizens of the Nation state and federal government should this aid in bringing about a pleasant train. If Geography, History and Ariths books were more plentifully distributed among the Negro schools of the South Negro output would know more of Chicago and Chicago and be better prepared intelligent people in ridling the cost of the highly-magnetized color proft.

It is a well known fact that wherever Negro people gather in large racial groups prejudice is intensified and the solution of the color problem is indeed more difficult and is longer deferred", writes Prof. W.

This sounds not unlike Germany's warning to the good ship Lusitania, and its subsequent demolition by the barbaric nation. First speaking of the 'average Negro, if he is a farmer', is like saying 'the average man, if he is a baseball player, should stay in the baseball districts'. There are thousands and thousands of Negro farmers, but, according to the U. S. Census Bureau, which probably has fair means of studying population and occupations, the average Negro, like the average white man, is not a farmer. Those of his ranks, who pursue that laudable employment, should decide what their modus operandi should be upon a specialized basis. But the Negro as a Negro, and without any designation other than his citizenship ought to move to and fro, just as he sees fit. There is no reason why he should turn farmer just to escape the congested rigors of New York or Chicago. Even the average Jew is not a pawnbroker, and it would not be common sense to have him change his trade and retreat to the streets of Jerusalem. The fact is that if other Americans can thrive in Cleveland, Chicago or New York congested or otherwise, just so should the American Negro expect to thrive in those points, and the citizens of the Nation and its state and federal government should rush to his aid in brining about a pleasant transition. If Geography History and Arithmetic books were more plentifully distributed among the Negro schools of the Southland, its Negro output would know more of Cleveland and Chicago and he better prepared to aid intelligent people in ridding the country of the highly-magnetized color problem, which Prof. Scarborough seeks to transform to balloon size. Let Negroes go where they will, and as a Cabinet official said last Spring, let each section of the country bear its just burden in preparing the Negro to meet the calls of necessity by training him and educating him in American ways and institutions.

They bring their children into the world and let them go their way, while the parents have their time.

When as a matter of fact the parent should have been setting an example (good) for the child from its earliest years on up through the formative period.

A poor old maid of Massachusetts, called "poor," not because she was an old maid, but because she spent fifty-six years in the insane asylum, has just died. While she was in the asylum her small fortune increased to $2,000,000, to be divided now among seven nieces. "Money runs into money" rapidly in this country, if you give it any sort of an opportunity. What becomes of all the money the people earn? Why does the average American die with about enough to bury him or her? The Deputy Attorney General of New York shows some of the money goes. Bogus stock sales alone take $500,000,000 from the people of the State each year. Even that leaves a good deal of money for other swindlers to take. Evidence at the Shenandoah investigation shows that Commander Lansdowne, who understood flying, protested against taking his ship through the storm belt of the Middle West, and asked for a postponement. Those knowing nothing about flying, but unfortunately controlling aviation in the United States, ordered him to go, in order to "impress certain State fairs on the way." Because his advice was not taken, Lansdowne was killed. Who is RESPONSIBLE for his death? And how good a suit for damages have his widow and the other Shenandoah widows against those that sent their husbands to death? The Museum of Natural History will soon present to your kind attention a fossil horse, with claws instead of hoofs, dug up in Asia. According to scientists, this little creature, ancestor of the big horse of today with its hoofs, vanished from the earth long before men came here to need horses. It will amaze you to read the various kinds of "despair" listed by Professor Glenn Frank, new president of the University of Wisconsin. There is BILOGICAL fear, PSYCHOLOGICAL fear, POLITICAL fear, ECONOMIC fear, HISTORICAL fear, ADMINISTRATIVE fear, MORAL fear. These fears can all be boiled down into one word, "NERVES." The only thing we need be afraid of is ourselves, our weaknesses. And for our fears Magazine Page About Your Health Things You Should Know by John Joseph Caine, M.D. Limit the Intake Let's talk awhile about absorption. It acts invisibly and also independently of our will. It is the one process of nature that never ceases unless, mayhap, there is nothing to absorb. It is our friend, until we over-crowd it, in which instance it becomes an unrelenting enemy. Our absorbing glance and channels know no taste—no discrimination. They take up a machine or other deadly poison with the same avidity with which they welcome taffy or gruel. Absorption takes no cognizance of results. It goes on after we are dead! The safe-guard against absorption, is not to overburden it, since meals are dangerous. Many people complain of being over-fat. The trouble is, that they are crowding their absorbents. Large quantities of fluids are taken with meals, and absorption quicker and faster than it should go on. It is possible to reduce flesh by taking no fluid of any kind with meals. No amount of physical cohesion called "Physical Culture" can place over-supply of readily absorbable food. It is wrong to take the sweat-glands with work that the more gross eliminants should do. The man or woman who expects a sweat out of the quack "day" may disappoint her, whether their billows be removed by massage. Limit the intake and get plenty of walking exercise—thus stimulating elimination, and let the absorbents rest. A six-o'clock dinner is too often absorbed—not digested. Food in the average alimentary canal undergoes fermentation, and even in some cases decomposition! The longer it remains there, the more advanced the process. What can be worse for mental torpor than the absorption of such poisonous matter? NEXT WEEK Dunges and O'clock Dinner THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND' VIRGINIA The SKELETON FINGER by Headon Hall © 1925 by NEA Service Inc. BEGIN HERE TODAY SIR DUDLEY, believed to be the murderer of his cousin, James Glenister, following the finding of a skeleton finger of the dead man. asks the hand to KATHLEEN GLENISTER, sister of the dead man, in marri- age. He is refused by Kathleen, who believes him a murderer, and who is in love with— mill across the stream. He walked up to the door or rapped with his knuckles. The scro- of of a chair sounded within and a sou- feced woman opened to him. "Bless us and save us! I thoug- twas the man with the poult- food," she exclaimed. "What mig- you please to want, sir?" NORMAN SLATER. Kathleen is tricked by Sir Dudley into visiting a lonely place to obtain information about her brother's death. Slater, fearful of her safety, follows on a motorcycle. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY No, sir. It leads to Beechwood village and Cohnbrook beyond. But both places are a long way off—a lonely walk for a young lady. Norman's anxiety was increasing. Did the young lady use the telephone while she was here? We ain't on it, sir? Norman gave the waiter five shilings and retreated into the hall. He had reached the entrance and was making for his cycle, which he had left at the curb, when the throaty voice of the wafter stopped aim: 'Arr a mo. sir. I dunno if this has to do with you. I found it when I was sweeping up after the luncheon people were gone.' "This" was a scrap of paper, the creases in it suggesting that it had originally been twisted into that normally form of communication, a three-cornered note. It bore a few words in pencil: "Prevented at last moment from joining you. Come to keeper's cottage. You will find me there without fail." Putting the note in his pocket, Norman added a pound to his first tip. Then he went out and started his motorcycle, the drone of it drowning the chuckle with which the wheezy waiter retreated into the hotel. CHAPTER XVIII The Trap Closes THE ancients who named Cupid "the blind god" were wise in their generation. No one not under the influence of that divinity would have behaved quite so rashly as did Norman Slater after "picking up his clues" at The Bull. It never occurred to him that they had been planted on him as a card is planted on three-card tricksters. Alt Grinstead's selection of a monkey had been sound, and the seven nues of road vanished like a lurid dream. With a blast from his horn we ate through Beechwood village, past the lodge gates of Beechwood Orange and so into the network of nues that led to the stile beyond which wound the woodland path to the cottage of the head keeper. The cycle had earned its rest. Norman bestowed it among the bracken in a dry ditch close to the stile and of necessity set out to finish his journey on foot. Eventually he came out into the clearing. The diamond-paned windows of the cottage were laced with light from within, but there was no moon to show the old #Jedge's Josh WOMEN ARE GETTIN' TO DRESS MORE AND MORE LIKE MEN—BUT IF STILL TAKES THEM LONGER/ PAUL PEDINGSON AULYCOSTER Your Birth Is it this Week Your Birthday Is it this week?

The scoop of a chair sounded within and a sour-faced woman opened to him. "Bless us and save us! I thought 'twas the man with the poultry food,' she exclaimed. "What might you please to want, sir?" "I came to inquire about Miss Glenister," replied Norman. "I have reason to believe that she was here this afternoon." Mrs. Grimes moved away from the doorway in an implied invitation to enter which Norman instantly accepted. "I dunno nothing about Miss Glenister," she said. "I've been out all day. You'd best ask me husband. There he sets." At the other end of the low-celled living room John Grimes sat on a stool warming his hands at a wood fire. His great shoulders were 14 HIS HAND FLEW TO THE PISTOL IN HIS POCKET. hunched in an attitude of dejection. Norman, who was quicker in action than at arm-chair theory, noticed this, and he also noticed two other things. On the wall was a telephone. And Mrs. Grimes was struck with sudden solicitude for an oil lamp which stood on a table in the window-bay. She went over to it and moved the lamp three times before she got it to her satisfaction. Norman had got to know the silent head keeper rather well during the short period when he had been a shooting guest at the Grange. "How are you, Grimes?" he said, forcing the cordial note. "You can't have forgotten me yet." The keeper reared his giant bulk from the stool and confronted his visitor. But he ignored his visitor's outstretched hand and avoided his eye. "I mind ye well enough, sir," he said in surly fashion. "Come to stay with the master again?" "No. I just wanted to ask you a few questions," rejoined Norman. He did not like the book of things. The man's manner was furtive. The woman's action with the lamp might have been a signal. "We've got a rare pack of pheasants left." Grimes' remarked with baffling irrelevance. He lifted his 亦 gaze now, but it was directed over Norman's shoulder—toward the door. The keeper's hard, gray eyes seemed to put a question and to receive an answer. Norman took the warning of that interchange a fraction of a second too late. His hand flew to the pistol in his pocket, but the bear's hug of John Grimes pinched his arms and a jer-itus lock in the small of his neck did the rest. He was borne to the floor and a moment later he was vainly fighting the fames of a chloroformed sponge pressed to his mouth and nostrils. CHAPTER XIX The Art of Finesse IN the train, going down to Beechwood next day, Inspector Wraggie was not in the guise of a subscription-hunting clergyman. On this occasion he was in his own natural semblance, since he wished Sir Dudley to recognize him at sight as the police officer who had pulled Norman Slater off him in the fracas at Cadogan Gardens. He alighted at the little wayside station, went to the lodge gates of the Grange, walked up the avenue, and rang the bell at the great oaken front door. Hinkley rather jibbed at admitting him, but yielded at once on being informed of the visitor's official position. There was no one in the library and Wraggie had to wait a long half-hour before Sir Dudley joined him. "Come to arrest me for murdering Wragge assumed a servility he was far from feeling. "You will have your little joke, Sir Dudley," the inspector laughed. "I am after Mr. George Glenister's murderer all right, but it is your help I want—not you." "The object of my call, Sir Dudley," said Wragge, "is to beg you to tell me if you have heard the names of any local gentlemen mentioned in connection with the keeper's daughter. You must have all the local gossip at your finger tips." The baronet shook his head. "They don't tell me much, these village clods," he said. "No, I never heard who Sally's mashes were except that there were plenty of them. The talk is that she was married to some fellow in London." Wragge made a wry face expressive of disappointment. "That's not very informing," he said. "I seem to have had my journey for nothing. But I should value your opinion on one other point. Sir Didley. How about your keeper, John Grimes, as the murderer?" Had a high explosive shell burst within a hundred yards of the house the effect on its owner could not have been more marked. He sprang to his feet, his face gone all purple and working strangely. "What on earth put such tommy rot into your head?" he hectored. "Why should Grimes want to kill my cousin?" "I don't say he did; it is only a conjecture," replied the inspector soothingly. "There might have been the old melodramatic motive of the outraged father who wants to get square on his daughter's seducer, eh?" Sir Dudley broke into a cackle of harsh laughter. "That's a bad break. Wragre," he said. "I was beginning to be impressed with your cleverness but now you've gone and spit it." "We will rule Grimes out then," said Wragre, rising to depart. "Good day, Sir Dudley, and many thanks."

LOVESICK SWAINS LOSE COUNSELLOR The army of dusky lovesick Swains, and colored folks craving power over other colored folks or seeking means of escape from the evil spells that their enemies have put upon them need appeal no longer to E. R. Goode, of Boydton Va., either by mail or in person. E. R. Goode has closed his mystic laboratory and gone to jail for thirty days. Mr. Gode went to jail voluntarily yesterday rather than trust his future to jury of the United States District Court, feeling that jurymen are too matter-of-fact and not sufficiently versed in the black arts to extend proper sympathy to a man in his, Mr. Gode's situation. Hence he pleaded guilty before Judge Groner to an indictment about 4,000 words long which charges him with "defrauding Joseph Craig, of Camden, N. J., and other readers of the Defender, a colored newspaper published in Chicago, Ill., by obtaining from the said victims money by means of false and fraudulent pretenses and representations." **Judge Accepts Plea** Judge Groner accepted the plea on recommendation of Assistant District Attorney Callon B. Jones and imposed a fine of $500 on Goode in addition to the thirty days' jail sentence. Goode lured his victims with an advertisement, signed "E. R. Goode, Bovdton, Va., which read as follows: When the victim responded with the dime Goode would send a follow-up letter, giving a list of his herbs and powders, their prices and the results he represented would be obtained. He offered to send any of his weird goods on receipt of one-fourth of their price, the remainder to be paid when the desired results were obtained. On April 10, 1925, Goode, according to the indictment returned against him, sent the following letter from Boydton to "Miss Lillian Lee, Savoy, Ill.": "Dear Friend. There is a spell put on you by a party and that is the cause of your trouble. Now, I prepare a spell remover, and I am sure it will relieve your trouble in a short time. The price is $20, but I allow you credit. Pay $5 now, then, after you see improvement, pay what you can each week. I use only pure herbs from the earth and I guarantee them to help you." (Signed) "E.

The police say that when they reached the physician's home the men had departed, but "K. K. K., Beware" was chalked in front of the steps of Dr. Lawrence's home. Occupants of the house held the police that the letters had been written by one of the masked men. TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN. Having qualified as executrix of Thomas H.

A NEW REVISED BOOK WITH PEACE TERMS—750 Pages 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 had made me a perfectly well man to 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 got cured. My daughter was also cured of Rheumatism and Indigestion by L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicines at 220 W. Broad Street, Richmond, Va. I recommend Mr. L. J. Hayden as one of the greatest healers of the sick on earth. Respectfully. J. D. TAYLOR 2419 M. Grace St. Richmond, Va.
