RICKARD TRIES TO STALL THE PANTHER NEW YORK, June 2.—Promoter Tex Rickard and his heavyweight championship plans, lately, discussed in the South with Jack Dempsey, are due in New York today. Jack has broadcast that he is ready, even any lous to dispose of the long standing challenge of Harry Wills, but world has preceded Rickard northward that Tex has decided upon Gene Tunney as the champion's opponent in an open air conflict next September. A formal announcement to that effect by Rickard is expected. Observers here consider that Rickard holds the whip hand through his agreements with Dempsey and Tunney. Indications that Wills and Paddy Mullins his manager, have been counted out of consideration are seen in the fact that Tex has made no attempt to confer with Mullins, who took his veteran contender to the Midwest yesterday for an exhibition contest. The boxing commission described its action in this statement; "In that Jack Dempsey on July 17, 1925, accepted the challenge of Harry Wills to box for the heavyweight championship of the world, the commission now feels that ample time has elapsed for signing articles and hereby directs Jack Dempsey to enter into proper articles of agreement with the challenger not later than June 22, 1926." TEXAS RACE MAN APPEALS TO U. S. SUPREME COURT (Preston News Service.) WASHINGTON D. G. June 2—L. A. Nixon of El Paso, Texas filed in the Supreme Court Wednesday a brief in his appeal contesting validity of the Texas law under which he was prohibited from voting in the general Democratic primaries in July 1924 contending that the statute which renders a Negro ineligible to participate in Democratic primaries in the State is unconstitutional. In the Federal District Court for Western Texas the suit, which sought to recover $5,000 damages against precinct judges, was dismissed on the grounds that the Federal Constitution and laws relating to suffrage do not apply to primaries. The case will be reached for oral argument early in the next term of the court, beginning in October.

Beard's wife's sister was killed while enroute with Roderick R. Beard to visit the latter's brother in King William county Sunday afternoon. The party were in a Ford car driven by R. R. Beard, when it is reported, that either the wheel came off or the radius rod became bent causing the car to turn over. In the car were R. R. Beard, John Carter, Hannibal Beard and McDonald Beard, the latter two being sons of R. R. Beard. Mr. Beard was much bruised and is now confined to his bed, while Carter suffered a fractured skull He was brought to the city and conveyed to the Retreat for the Sick, dying shortly afterwards. On the cooling board in A. D Price, Jr's morgue the injuries could be plainly noted. He was stocky built and was in prime condition. The wounds on the right side of his head just above the right eye, showed where his skull had been fractured, while his right knee was badly gashed. It is reported that Joint Carter was carried to the hospital at about 2:25 and died shortly after being entered there. He resided at No. 3945 New North Road. He was employed at the C and O Station.

A frightful knife due) took place on Church-hill, at 14:05 N 27th St. yesterday (Memorial Day) as a result of what is reported to have been a disagreement between John Wilkes who resides at that number and Albert Bennett, who gangs up his hat at 527 N. 18th St. The blood of both men was up as they wieded deadly knives in stabbing and cutting each other. They were evenly matched and stopped from exhaustion. The sergeant at the First Police Station reports that the call for the ambiance came in at 6:20 P. M. The result was the arrest of both men, although they are under treatment at St Phillips Hospital, as a result of the deadly gashes and slashes made by the knives which both seemed to be adepts in handling. At St Phillips Hospital today, it was reported that they we retesting easier. The outcome of their frightful injuries cannot at this time be determined. Both men were bleeding probably and one not knowing would have thought that they had been employed in a slaughter pen. While no undertaker has been put on notice, some 8 or 10 of them in this city are ready to be as prompt in handling the bodies as were the surgeons, who had the job of sewing up the awful wounds. The exact details as to the cause of t is duel have not been definitely determined, but it is reported that disagreement between the two men in a game was primarily the cause of the reciprocal onslaught. NEGRO SINGER TRIUMPHS BERLIN, June 1—Edna Thomas, of New Orleans, one of the greatest singers of Negro spirituals, repeated her London triumph in Berlin last Friday evening. German critics were amazed to hear in Negro music of half a century ago the fore-runner of the modern jazz. The singer closed her program with old Negro street cries from New Orleans and Baltimore, and songs in the Creole dialect. The audience remained and demanded encore after encore until she finally was forced to beg to be permitted to go home. (By Chicago Daily News Company.) Mr. Joe Bright, manager and producer, who is now in charge of the stock company operating at the Hippodrome Theater, scored heavily this week in his production of the transition of a weekly colored journal into a daily. He was well supported by his caste and each rendition was punctuated by enthusiastic applause. It is a practical, visible lesson in race pride and in support of professional and the merchant class of colored people in business. The names of some of our prominent citizens were called and the play produced something of a sensation. The Planet office furnished some of its outfit to complete the stage appearance. The two comedians now playing, known as _____ and "Sox," are among the best ever seen in this vicinity and in their ability to change the program from time to time without repeating former "stunts" they outrival any of them. Mr. R. E.

As the funeral procession entered the church the choir sang very touchingly "Nearer My God to Thee." Rev A. A. Hector, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church read the 23rd Psalm, after which he offered prayer. Mr. Harrison Deane, in his unassuming manner sang very feelingly, "They Are Waiting For Me." Rev W. T. Johnson enlisted the life and character of the deceased in a most beautiful and sympathetic way, using as his text, Mark 7:37, "He has done all things well." He spoke of the number of years Mrs. White had been a member of the church, referring to Dr. Ryland as being her first pastor, and what an ardent worker she had been. A to many comforting words to the children and to the daughter-in-law, who had been in the home for quite a number of years and upon whom she looked as a real daughter, he commended them to their Heavenly Father who doeth all things well. Miss Margaret Tinsley sang very sweetly, "Jesus Lover of My Soul." Letters of condolence were read, one from the neighborhood, who looked upon the deceased as a "Mother" and from Dorcas Society, of which she had been a member for 13 years. Surviving her are the following children: Messrs. Amphy, Homestead P; Matthew E. and Mrs. Kate C. Ellis, Philadelphia, Pa.; John P.

About Your Heaith ‘Things You Should Know = ha ioral . E Hu 4 AS Vy Wt | iby John Joseph Gaines, M. D. HEADACHES. Many people suffer with head- aches, indeed few escape this dis- tressing sae a The cause of headashes may Indicated with tolerable accuracy by the location of the pain in the head. For instance, if the top the head is the site of pain, the trouble is with over-wrought nerves in either sex. If the patient is a woman, the ovaries may be suspected as the cause, which ovare ian sedatives are likely to relieve, The futility of “headache tablets” is plainly apparent. ‘The cause must. be removed, Headaches between the eyes— at the top of the nasal bone—are generally due to disease of the na- sal passages, attention t> which will produce ‘relief and cure. Head- aches over the brows, called “frontal” are in the main due to the stomach, where our efforts should be directed. If the pain is above the frontal region, at the margin of the scalp above the fore- head, attend to constipation, Basal headaches may be due to defective eyesight or glasses; they may also be due to Ieidney disease; or to a rheumatic condition; or to working in an un-natural position for long periods. Massage and Physfeal culture movements, and iter still, exercise in the open may wear away such attacks, plain- ly due to fatigue, unless other causes are apparent. Finally, head- aches beneath the eye-brows are at- tributed to disease of the eye it- self. The oculist should be consult ed. Remember lastly, that headache tablets are often dangerous, espec- jally so when chosen at random without the gdvice of a capable physician. Headaches. should not be ignored or passed up lightly. ‘They may announce something ser ious.

Wins Fame Behind Prison WallsRemarkable Experience of a Brilliant Colored Man. LH01 By An Insider (Reprint and publishing rights reserved exclusively by the author.) (Editor's Note: "Within Prison Walls," the first installment of which is published in this issue was written by a young colored man of good family and training who for obvious reasons is withholding his real identity, and who due to his ability served (during a course of nearly ten years) in his positions (while an inmate) one of which has never been filled by any other inmate of any race. During this series he will dwell intimately on certain phases of prison life that are rarely, if ever, disclosed to the public.) In writing this story, "Within Prison Walls" the writer will at no time swerve from the path of facts to one of fancied romance or fiction and the actual happenings that will be described from time to time may savor of an experienced pen of a fiction writer or novelist still the event will be portrayed only as the writer actually experienced, witnessed or knows to be correct. Fourteen Years' Sentence It was early in the year of 1917 when a certain benevolent judge (from society's viewpoint) sentenced this writer to fourteen years in a State prison. At the time it seemed an eternity, but as I now look back it seems as though it was only yesterday and when I realize that during this nearly ten years that among other positions, I have served as secretary to one warden, handled sales and orders of a prison industry, secretary and assistant to an executive highway official, assisted to install and maintain in a new $10,000,000 institution being built by the State, a uniform accounting system and for which reward I have but recently received my freedom, it is no wonder that the time seems to have fairly "flew." Then, too, the fact that at one period and under a kind and generous prison administration I was permitted to develop and put into execution an original and unique mail-order scheme, based on service, out of which in a period of three years and operating entirely from a prison cell that I disposed of over $5,000 of this service, and was featured by a prominent special writer in the Sunday edition of one of the largest newspapers in America and subsequently written up in several trade or mail-order magazines, it is then my belief taken from a resume of the fore-going facts, that while not a professional nor even much of an amateur writer (as the editor will no doubt admit) that I have a story, a message, that in its telling might prove interesting reading to the subscriber—a story that in its telling might prove to be the necusus from which some good might result both from society's viewpoint and that of either the unfortunate or the deliberate criminal. Rapid Growth of Crime Surely with the rapid growth of crime, the less prevention of same and the over-increasing (without any seeming beneficial results) of the country's prison population their needs to be some intermediary between society and crime that can possibly point out a few weaknesses in the present methods that are being dwelt between the two and possibly give some encouragement to other methods that if further developed might prove of even greater benefit to both. The Jury Verdict The jury had found me guilty. The effect was instantaneous. I immediately I became, from a mild-mannered apologetic type of person to a dangerous brutal convict. Two bailiffs moved over, one to either side. The judge ordered me back to the county jail awaiting a future date for sentence. I had left the jail, but a few hours before, but one of a number of happ-go-lucky opportunities all of whom were jokingly wondering how the "twelve men tried and true," were going to treat them that day, wondering the moods the jurymen would be in, etc., for their freedom depended more on the whim or good or bad feelings of one of the "twelve good men" than on the astuteness of their own defender. I, too, was wondering what would happen to me. Now, however, I was returning, not in the company of a bunch of happy-go-luckies, but between two deputies, securely manacled and guarded and watched by the keen eye of those whose business it is to watch the cruel and desperate criminal, for the moment the jury said "Guilty" the system made me a desperado. Back to Jail Back in the county jail I was not allowed to go to the same ward I had been in. I was now a desperado and I was moved to the "desperado" ward, deprived of every little jail privilege or luxury that I had previously obtained and I was being made to feel what I was supposed to be, a desperado. My fellow-unfortunate really looked the part and no wonder, even the razors and little personal effects by which you could keep yourself looking neat, were taken away and it was not long before I too looked and felt the part I was then sun- posed to play. Life seemed to hold no future. All was black. It was my darkest hour. Not knowing anything of a State prison I had no hopes of ever again being surrounded with cleanliness, sunshine or a ray of happiness for many years to come. I relieved my entire life, it came before me as if on a screen. Yes, I had lived, but now I was beginning to pay the price. The Judge's Sentence In such surroundings and in such a mood it was no wonder that several days later when I was again manacled and brought before the judge for sentence, that I looked like a tough, being unkempt and unnate in appearance, surely in disposition and with absolutely not a single hope for the future I saw no use in saying a word, what was the use, when the judge asked me if I had anything to say before sentence was passed and I stood up, my mind wondering while my heart and soul was being unmercifully flayed by the tongue-lashing that the judge for the benefit of society was given me. From his remarks the observer would have gathered that I had been responsible for all the crime, for all the sins of the world, and having caught and convicted such a desperate criminal that society from, then on would be free from all crime and all sin and for the good of society I was then sent to the State prison for fourteen years. (It might be interesting to note right here that in this same State and in the same manner, not one but ten thousand other unfortunates have had the same experience and even as I now glance at the paper I see that society has more crime, more sin, than ever before). The Remaining Privilege I was escorted back to the jail again and the only remaining privilege that I had then enjoyed, being free to walk around in the little open enclosure of the ward, was denied me and I was securely locked in a single gloomy, dirty cell, there to wait till the next batch of felons was sent to the State prison—like cattle in a pen waiting to be slaughtered. My wait was not for long. Soon the cry of "Prison Bound" was heard in our little world and we were herded together, again searched, manaced in pairs and through a lead chain in which manner we were herded in a closed van to the depot and through a special door and gate to the train and coach that was to take us to our doom and an eternal doom it seemed to me. In spite of the impending darkness fate seemed to be hovering around and a little ray of brightness seemed to appear around the corner. The men to whom I was manacled, if you could see through his present slovenly, unkempt appearance, was a man of some experience in the world and seemed to have a domineering attitude and I noted that something about him attracted him to the two special deputies sitting directly opposite us. Prisoner With Money They seemed to chat about all the current events and my new partner seemed well posted. He had money. The deputy took a couple of dollars out of his property bag and let him spend it with the train butcher. He shared his little luxuries with me and we struck up an immediate friendship. He told me of himself. He was of Polish-German origin. He had been editor of a Polish paper. People at that time were decidedly anti-German. With some of his articles he had caused trouble for himself that eventually found him maneuched to me both headed for years of uncertainty. However he with his broader experience seemed more self-assured. He stated that one of the deputies was a fraternal brother of his. Also that his lawyer would be down to the prison in a day or two to intercede for him. That he would be given a "good thing" in the prison and that he would help me through and see that I got the breaks. Things indeed did seem brighter to me. I had no friends, no money and not even an acquaintance in the entire State to intercede for me, but luck had placed beside me a man who had and who said he would help me. Little did either of us realize the little trick that fate had in store for us. (Taubman) 666 is a prescription for Colds, Grippe, Flu, Dengue Larous Fever and Malaria It Kills the Germs.

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA ABD-EL-KRIM GIVES UP TO THE FRENCH (The New York Times) FEZ May 27.—Mant'ed in a brown burnous against the cold African mountain dawn and mounted on a white horse, Aid'el-Krim rode into the French lines this morning. His face showed no emotion. Muszulman and fatalist, he accepted his surrender without anger, without self-pity. It was the will of Allah. Two French officers accompanied him. They were sent on horseback yesterday through the enemy country to Snada to meet and escort him. All day they had ridden through the savage mountainous country and all night they rode back. Dawn had come and the sun had risen, but up there in the interminal chains of summits which make the Riff it was as cold as an October morning. The men who waited had built great wood fires to keep themselves warm. The French camp stood perched on the Plateau Tizem Imaouene, from which one sees a barren gorge far below. It was nearly 5 o'clock when the outlook man gave the signal that someone was approaching out of the Riff country. There was a cloud of dust coming from the north and up dashed some Spains and a mounted rifleman with two officers and in their midst the Riffian leader and Sheriff Hamedon Ouedzani, Chief of Snada tribe, through whom Abdel-Krim's final submission was obtained. The French soldiers stood at attention. In full General Bolchut's order was obeyed. Abdel-Krim was received by a gallant enemy should be received by his vanquishers. ABD'EL-KRIM ARRIVES Slowly his white horse climbed the side of the ravine, guided by a man of the local troops who knew the countryside. For over a year his name has been something of a terror, something of a mystery to the men fighting against him, and for four years he has defied the might of Spain. We craned forward to have a good look at him, and the soldiers standing at attention in the ranks behind Genera Ibos, commander of the Moroccan division, and Coloael Coroa peered forward in defiance of discipline to see what manner of man was this Riffian, who had shown him self such a redoubtable enemy. Few men can dismount from a horse with dignity, but he is one of the exceptions. As calm as if paying a morning call, he advanced over a pile of stone and past a half-dead fire toward General Ibos. His bow was courteous, neither hurried nor deferential. In a minute the two men were discussing as equals the business of getting a caravan of wives and attendants escorted from Snada to the French lines and in ten minutes the journey south to Taza had begun under escort, to the Taza which less than a year ago his warriors had almost won and into which he expected to enter as a conqueror. Immediately messages to be dropped by airmen to the tribes announcing their chief's surrender were prepared, and these were scattered far and wide today. While the surrender of the caids and tribesmen are continuing there are indications that the Beni Zeroual and Beni Mestaras may continue a last desperate resistance, but to all real purposes the Riffian war is over. PRISONERS GET CHAMPAGNE. TAZA, May 27—Champagne was the stirrup cup that speed the ragged, war-weary, ill-conditioned French and Spanish prisoners on their way to the French lines, liberty and their homelands after months, even years of privation in the prison camps of the barren, besieged Riff. It was a knightly farewell Cald Haddow made to his late enemies, as recounted by two aviators Lieutenant Command and Sargent Chenu, on arriving at Taza. They were among the prisoners released by Abdel Krim, the Riffian Chieftain, in acknowledgment of his submission to the French and Spanish. Tuesday evening towards 9 o'clock said Commarger and Chenu, after a sultry day and when the prisoners feared for their lives under the menace of visible Rifian disorganization Caid Haddou surprised the captives with the news that they would be liberated the next morning. Many prisoners who had, so often received hope of freedom spent the night in despair, believing the promised liberation was only a blind for who'sale executions the next morning. At daybreak however, Caid Haddou assembled the prisoners and offered each of them a cup of champagne. Then they were sent off, scarcely comprehending what was taking place surrounded by an escort of cavalry, as the sun peeped over the stony hills, lighting up the path across the desert to liberty.

Hayden's Pure Herb Medicines. After waitin thirteen years and have not suffered from the horrible disease, Gravel, I desire to make a statement to L. J. Hayden. Thirteen years ago two vee leading physicians of my city treated me for Kidney trouble and gravel without the desired benefit. 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 before being operated on. I did so, every four tours after using his medicines I passed at least a half dozen gravel, some as big as a river. Since that time I have not suffered with the gravel I might recommend L. J. Hayden's medicine to all suffering humanity. I am, J. A. PAGE, 4 Auburn Ave., Richmond, Va. IMPROVEMENT NOTED AT ONCE. Mr. L. J. Hayden. 224 West Broad Street.

I have spoken to many of my friends and they say they are going to send for a treatment. I think it is a great remedy. I do not suffer with my pains as I used to and my appetite is just fine and I sleep much better every night and feel fine monials from the Secretary of War and Army Officers of high rank and reputation are set forth in no uncertain terms. The following ringing words of Major General Bell, addressed to the famous "Buffaloes", the 367th Regiment, are typical of the high regard and respect of American and European officers for our colored troops. Every private in this regiment and most of the officers were Negroes. The General said: "This is the best disciplined and best drilled and best spirited regiment that has been under my command at this cantonment. I predicted last fall that Colonel Moral would have the best regiment stationed here and you men have made my prediction come true. I would lead you in battle against any army in the world with every confidence in the outcome". THE NEGRO IN THE NAVY. More than fifty pages of the Book devoted to the Achievements of the Negro in the American Navy—Guarding the Trans-Atlantic Route to France—Battling the Submarine Peril—The Best Sailors in any Navy in the World—Making a Navy in Three Months from Negro Stevedores and Laborers—Wonderful Accomplishments of Our Negro Yeomen and Yeowomen.
