HARRY WILLS SUSPENDED FOR THIRTY DAYS. Five Hundred Dollars Fine--Involuntary Manslaughter Charged. A Similar Case in Norfolk--The Jury Assesses Fine of One Hundred Dollars Mrs. Willie Jackson's aunt's husband was being buried and his funeral obsequies were taking place at Farmville, Va., Friday afternoon, October 15, 1926. A party decided to attend the funeral at Farmville in Mr. Olie Knox's car and left this city after 12 o'clock. Friday, arriving there too late for the exercises were well nigh over. In the party were Mrs J. E. Byrd, Mrs. Emma Page, mother of Mrs. Jackson, and Mrs. Martha Skipwith, wife of the well-known evangelist, Rev. W H. Skipwith, D. D., who resides at 413 W. Marshall street. TRAVELLING AT NIGHT The party left Farmville, Va., a little after dark. As there were many curves and declivities in the roadway between Farmville and Richmond it was urged that the party leave for the return trip at once. Archie Helms offered to pilot the party as far as Burkville, Va and Mrs. Skipwith and Mrs. Jackson accepted the invitation to ride in the pilot car and join their friends from Richmond at Burkville, Va. Lying in bed at her residence, 413 W. Marshall St., Mrs. Skipwith said, "We were late getting to Farmville. We got some sandwiches and I sat beside the chaufeur, while Mrs. Jackson sat with an elderly man on the rear seat. SAW BRIGHT LIGHTS It was a little after dark. As we were going around a curve, I saw two bright headlights. When I came to, I was lying on the ground. I must have gone through the windshield, for it was a closed car. Mr Jackson and his brother had left Richmond ahead of us. In returning the other members of the party were in the Richmond car and they came up after the accident. I did not know that I was injured the blood was flowing and I found out that I had been bruised on the right side of my face and arm down to my knee. The swelling has been much reduced under the treatment of Dr. E. R. Jefferson, the family physician. PAIN IN RIBS I felt pain in the ribs when I breathed, but that has left me to day. I found Mrs. Jackson and we were rubbing her. We asked the doctor if she was badly hurt and he informed us that she was dead. Her skull had been fractured, as blood was oozing from it. I was informed that the man on the rear seat of the car with Mrs. Jackson was still unconscious. It was later learned that his name was Brown, Mrs. Byrd was praying over Mrs. Jackson's body. The funeral of Mrs. Jackson took place Tuesday afternoon from the First Baptist Church of this city. Rev. Dr. Skipwitt is in Philadelphia under treatment of a specialist. Farmville, Va., Oct. 18 — (Special to The News Leader) — Archie Helms, Farmville Negro insurance agent, was arraigned this morning before Magistrate Walter Smith, of Prince Edward County, and charged with manslaughter, due to an automobile wreck last night in which Ella Jackson, colored, of 107 West Baker street, Richmond, Va., was killed and John Brown, colored, Farmville drayman, badly hurt. Helms was the owner and driver of the car. Previous to the arraignment of Helms, Dr Paulus A, Irving, coroner, held an inquest and several witnesses were examined. Willie Atkins and Clarence Walker, white men, from near Burkeville, Va. testified that between 8:30 and o'clock Friday night they were proceeding towards Farmville in a Ford car, and one mile east of Farmville, on the Petersburg road, saw a car approaching rapidly on its left, or wrong side of the road. They pulled over to their side of the road and had nearly stopped when the approaching car hit them and carried their car back down the road about a hundred feet, pitching their car into the ditch. They miraculously escaped injury, though their car was badly damaged. They testified that Helms was driving around forty or forty five miles an hour, as best they could judge. Police Officer Beasley testified that he, with Police Officer Crue and Chief Lipscomb, arrived soon after the accident, finding the woman dead, Brown hurt, both cars wrecked and Helms in an intoxicated condition. They could not make Helms realize what he had done, and when told in jail this morning by the officers that he had wrecked two cars, hurt a man and killed a woman, he said he did not remember anything about it, but that he had taken a drink of rock candy and whisky and smoked a strong cigar, which he judged was responsible for his condition. Helms waived a preliminary hearing and was released on bond for his appearance before the November grand jury of the Prince Edward circuit court. The dead woman had come by automobile Friday from Richmond to attend the funeral of a relative and was on her way back home when the accident happened. Farmville, Va., Oct. 15.—Ella jackson, colored, was instantly killed tonight when the automobile in which she was riding in company with three men collided, with a machine driven by two white boys just outside of this city. The two cars approaching from opposite directions, struck with such impact that both machines were almost totally wrecked, while the woman was thrown from the one in which she was riding and instantly killed. The colored man driving the car in which the woman was riding was arrested on a charge of careless and reckless driving and will be given a healing in the Trial Court here tomorrow morning. No charges were placed against the white boys, who were said to be residents of Jennings' Ordinary, Amelia County. In conversation with Mr. W. W. Jackson at 107A W. Baker St. he said that he left Richmond at about 11 A. M. Friday. 15th inst. and reached Farmville in time for the funeral of Mr. Reid. His wife and party came after he got there and left before he did. When he heard the news of the accident, he remained in Farmville until the body arrived. The funeral took place here at the First Baptist Church Tuesday 19th inst. with Rev W. T. Johnson officiating. The funeral designs were numerous and costly. Funeral Directors W. I. Johnson Sons officiated with complete satisfaction. Mr. Jackson has been employed at the Jefferson Club for 22 years. A CARD OF THANKS Mr. and Mrs. William F. Denny wish to thank their many friends for the many handsome and useful gifts on the occasion of their "thirtieth Wedding Anniversary." Mr. William Dupre, our good friend of Latta, S. C., sends another substantial remittance for the Planet. It is appreciated. The case of P. P. Brooks, (white) charged with involuntary manslaughter in that he struck and killed Joe Belghal while driving a car was tried in the Husting Court of this city, Tuesday, October 12, 1926. Brooks pleaded guilty and elected that Judge Matthews should sit in judgment upon his case. Commonwealth's Attorney Dave E. Satterfield appeared for the prosecution. Upon his plea of guilty and with the assent of the relatives of the deceased Judge W Kirk Mattews fined him $500. He was allowed until October 19, 1926 to pay the amount. The reading of the indictment was as follows: "Being then and there the driver and operator of a certain automobile in and upon one Joe Belghal negligently, carelessly, recklessly, unlawfully and feloniously did make an assault; and that he, the said P. P. Brooks being then and there engaged in the act of running operating and driving a certain automobile in a northerly direction along and upon a certain street in the said city commonly called Brook Ave. did then and there negligently, carelessly, recklessly, unlawfully and feloniously and in an unlawful manner run, operate and drive the said automobile so that it did collide with and knocked down Joe Belghal, whereby his left leg was broken an parts of the said Joe Belghal were then and there crushed and wounded and thereby did, give to and inflict upon the said Joe Belghal divers mortals wounds of which the said mortal wounds so caused and inflicted by the said P. P. Brooks by the means and in the manner aforesaid, the said Joe Belghal then and there dled. The witnesses in the case were Messrs J. H. Harvey, J. E. Berry, R. L. Dean, Ulysses Fountain, Sergeant R. W Crafton, John Harris and Lee Holmes. Norfolk, Va., Oct. 15. —Ledger-Dispatch) —Found guilty of involuntary manslaughter Frank Alton Tarral, was fined $100 by jury in Corporation Court No. 2. The jury was out for three hours before reaching a verdict reporting their findings to Judge O. L Shackleford at 9 o'clock last night. The charge in this case grew out of the death of Warner M. Burroughs, 70, who was struck by an automobile driven by Tarral on the afternoon of September 23. The aged man was struck as he was crossing Ballentine Boulevard at Davis St. Tarral stop, picked up the man and carried him to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead and a coroner's jury found that he had died as a result of a fractured skull. Sergeant E. L. Ewing, Marine Corps, principal witness for the Commonwealth, testified he had seen the Tarral car approaching at a speed estimated 50 miles an hour just before the man was struck. This testimony was contradicted by other witnesses who testified that Tarral had been driving at approximately the same speed as other motorists using the boulevard while one stated that he had seen Burroughs crossing the street and thought he was blind. Tarrall testified that he had not seen the man until too late. He said that there had been a large truck in the way and that he had applied the breaks as soon as he saw Burroughs, who dodged from side to side and walked into the car often it had turned out to avoid hitting him. Tarrall contended that he was going at a rate of 25 miles an hour before applying the breaks. Tarrall was represented by Ralph Daughton and J Stanley Shaffer with Harry E. McCoy prosecuting. "THE WAR OF THE ROSES" AT THIRD STREET BETHEL A. M. E. CHURCH Great things are happening at Bethel. Last Sunday we had two grown men and one little girl happily converted at our Morning Worship. Total offering for the day, $93, three conversions and five accessions. Dr. Hatcher who is preaching with unusual power and wisdom drove right from his church Sunday A M. 25 miles to Greenwood Baptist Church where he preached in a great Baptist Rally and had three conversions. In the last few months we have more than 35 adult accessions and 15 adult conversions, right in our Sunday Worship. We have better spiritual and fellowship conditions than we have had in 30 years. The Bishop Waymant Bible Class has raised for Miss Susie Harris, who is away in the Sanitorium, more than $30. This Bible Class is bigger and is doing better work now than ever in its history. The Soyers came over last Sunday for their Annual Sermon and the Mistress of Ceremony and Brother Jackson were delighted with the great sermon by the pastor. And now, "The War of the Roses," a Sunday School Bazar will begin Monday night, Oct 25th. Come and enjoy yourself from 7:30 to 10 P. M. each evening.

After a very enjoyable discussion the Stewardess served the party to Salad and Hot Cocoa. Dr. A. J. Nottingham will preach Sunday at 11 A. M. Quarterly Conference Friday night, Oct 22nd. Come and see how your church is growing. OFFICE VACATED Information comes that the office held by W. H. C. Brown. Esq as Grand Attorney of the Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias of Virginia has been vacated. It will be remembered that publications in these columns revealed the fact that W. H. C. Brown could not practice law in Virginia, due to the fact that he had not qualified before the Board of Bar Examiners of the Supreme Court of Appeals. He was receiving a salary of one thousand dollars per year in addition to the $500 voted to him by the Grand Lodge on the recommendation of Grand Chancellor W. B. F. Crowell. It is intimated that further action will be taken in this case. DR. W. T. JOHNSON AND FIRST BAPTIST CELEBRATE The First Baptist Church of this city has been observing the 25th anniversary of its pastor, the very able Rev. W. T. Johnson, D.D., this week. Rev. David N. Vassar, D.D., of Philadelphia, who practically installed him into the pastorate, delivered an able sermon Sunday morning at 11:30 o'clock. Dr. Vassar is now 80 years of age, but bears lightly the frosts of old age. A handsome souvenir booklet was distributed. It contains the programme and fine "cuts" of Rev Dr. Johnson and his accomplished madame. Rev. A W. Brown's sermon Sunday afternoon was a feature. Rev. J. H Randolph preached at nite. The programme was carried out according to schedule and the reception staged Friday night ended the affair in a "blaze of glory."

As the men were above the middleweight limit, Flower's title was not involved HAMPTON DOWNS NORTH CARO- LINA STATE 20-9 By James B. Clarke Hampton, Va., Oct. 16.—For two and three-fourths quarters the Hampton Institute Seasiders and North Carolina State College (formerly Durham State) seawed up and down Armstrong Field, the Seasiders apparently unable to score on one hand, and on the other, the Tarheel boys staying off almost sure defeat. It was a game far below the college standard of modern football. While the North Carolina boys kept Hampton from scoring until well into the second half, it was done by playing for time: shifting and reshifting, arcums among themselves, inability to interpret signals, substitutions and the like as often seen in sand lot football. The Seasiders went on the field a bit over confident, as a result of the Tarheel showing in the Petersburg N. C. State game that ended 40-0. MABEL LOUSE WILLIAMS PASSES AWAY. Mabel L. Williams, 913 W. Marshall Street, passed away Wednesday day morning October 13, 1926. How remarkably well Mabel bore her illness to all who came in her presence, she breathed a benediction upon them. She always carried a saintly smile for those who came in contact with her. No one knew Mabel but to love her. Mabel was born in Richmond, Va., September 25th, 1905. When five years old she was carried to Blackstone, Va. to live and there she made many true friends. She was a member of the Shiloh Baptist Church, Blackstone, Va., baptized by the Rev, R. W. Ashburn. She was a member of the Lady Knights of King David, Blackstone, Va. When Mabel was sixteen years old she came to Richmond with her aunt and here she made a host of friends. She joined under the watch care of Fifth Street Baptist Church under pastorate of Rev T. J. King, She was a Christian and carried sunshine throughout her days. She was a member of Friends Fold, No. 341, Improved Order Shepheds and Daughters of Bethlehem. Funeral services were conducted at the house by Rev. J. H. Burnham of the Fifth Street Baptist Church. The Shepherds had charge of the body, After the funeral services the body was shipped to Blackstone for burial. The floral designs were many and beautiful, attesting the esteem in which she was held. The funeral was preached Sunday October 17th from the Shiloh Baptist Church, Blackstone, Va., by the pastor Rev. J. W. Megginson, who so beautifully portrayed the life of Mabel. The church was filled with sorrowing relatives and friends from Baltimore, Md., Richmond, Burkeville, Crewe, Kenbridge and Norfolk Va. She is survived by one sister and three brothers, Miss Hattie Williams and Mr. Oscar Williams, of Richmond: Mr. Preston Williams, Camden, N. J.; Mr. Albert Williams Philadelphia, Penn.; four aunts Miss Sallie Greenhill, Miss Mary Williams, Richmond, Mrs. Anna Seay, Blackstone; Mrs Nellie Winston, Blackstone six uncles Mr. Eddie Greenhill, Mr. Willie Williams Mr. Charles Watts, Mr. Matthew Williams, Richmond; Mr. Henry Williams, New York and a grandmother, Mrs. Williams. The Honorary pall bearers were as follows: Misses Edith and Minnie Turner Alice Reines, Gladys Threat. Annie Williams Richmond and Miss Ruth Thomas, Amelia, Va. Active pall bearers were as follows: Messrs. T. L. Hill, W. H. Edwards, John Benson, Isaac Winston George A. Cunningham, Jr., and Quarlie Coleman, of Richmond. Interment was in Greenview Cemetery, Blackstone, Va. AROUND FIFTH STREET The Fifth Street Baptist Church, under the pastorate of Dr. Charles S. Morris continues on the upward trend. The auxiliaries are beginning to take on new life and the full program of the church is developing nicely. Dr. Morris began the new weekly Bible Class last Wednesday night which was well attended and promises much. All are invited to hear this great teacher. Please are about completed for the earliest service which begins very soon. Tam A. W. Brown, pastor of the Cathch Mt. Zion Baptist Church, has just returned from a two weeks' visit to Columbia, S. C. He is looking well. (N. Y. Times, October 20) Whatever official or moral support remained with Harry Wills after his crushing defeat at the hands of Jack Sharkey was snatched from under the big Brown Panther yesterday when the State Athletic Commission whidde majority championed the cause of Wills, even to the extent of barring the fight here between Gene Tunney and Dempsey plastered a thirty-day suspension on the tamed gladiator. The suspension was imposed at the meeting of the Commission. It was a routine matter, as is usually the case in all suspensions when they are imposed for fouls. But this suspension of Wills was a jarring gesture in the direction of the man who patiently pursued a heavyweight title match for seven long years. There was no other punishment for Wills, aside from the physical and mental pain he suffered through the beating he received at the hands of Sharkey. Wills received his money for the recent Ebbets Field bout—collected it last week, when the Commission ordered his pay check released. Nor will the suspension interfere at all with Wills' career if he intends to follow his announced plan and continue boxing, for he has no ring engagements within the next thirty days. SHARKEY CHALLENGE FILED At the meeting at which Wills was suspended, his conqueror, Sharkey was practically elevated to the position once held by the colored champ. On behalf of the Boston heavyweight Manager Johnny Buckley mailed a challenge to Gene Tunney to battle for the heavyweight title. No action will or can be taken on the challenge until March 23 next year when the six months' period allowed champions to defend their titles, will have expired in Tunney's case. Sharkey's challenge, however, was placed on file, is recorded as the first aimed at Tunney through the Commission, and is assured serious consideration at the proper time with the Commission's announcement that all challenges will be placed on file in the order in which they are received.

Tests now being made with radio in school work, not only as an adjunct to classroom instruction but in stimulating and broadening the interest of pupils, parents and teachers alike, promise to establish school broadcasting, in the near future, as one of the most effective as well as most economical methods of instruction.

SATURDAY...OCTOBER 23, 1926 You cannot expect to raise decent children with indecent mothers. You cannot do wrong all of the time and then suddenly change with the expectation of doing right. President Calvin Coolidge may not be a candidate for re-election, but his friends are endeavoring to have him enter the contest. Colored folks are all right as a whole, but this rising, generation gives the older element a pain and a shock by its shiftlessness and lack of self-respect. The effort of the Government these days seems to increase the severity of the law and to put everybody in jail. This process has never checked crime and it never will. You must start at the cradle and the good results will be seen down to the grave. Marcus Garvey may be suffering in the Atlanta Prison, but he gives no evidence of it in the articles, which he is contributing to the New York Negro World. Putting him in prison was a mistake and the keeping him there is an outrage. He has his opinions, with which many of us do not agree; but persecution is the surest means of increasing his influence and multiplying his followers. We have not as yet heard the last of Marcus Garvey. The brillaint James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People issues under date of October 15, 1926, a vitriolic reply to the attack of Robert L. Vann, editor of the influential and widely read Pittsburgh Courier, in which he announced that he had investigated the "Garland Fund" and that the same had been improperly dissipated. Mr. Johnson's language, if used in France would mean "pistols and coffee," for two, for he charges the popular editor with down right lying. We as a race cannot afford this kind of a controversy. This Association is doing a great work and it is unfortunate that our people do not rally and place a half million dollars at its disposal. Certainly it is blazing the way to the securing of inherent fundamental rights for our people. We do not know the animus on either side in this unfortunate controversy. To injure and destroy this great organization would be a calamity. Let us have peace at least amongst ourselves. The Pacific Coast News Bureau at Log Angeles reports that Southern California, or that part in this neighborhood has but 1500 feet available to the 75,000 colored population. The privileges secured are about to be lost. At San Monica, a colored man owns a hotel several blocks from the beach and bathers must walk half a mile. Repeated efforts to secure finance for these privileges have resulted in failure. The same conditions which were in vogue at Atlantic City, N. J., where George Walls held sway have crept up on the beach in California. Of course colored folks are largely responsible for these discriminations. They are too selfish, every one of them being for himself. It is God's way of working out the problem. When they become absolute pariahs in their own land, they will awaken to the need of a unity of purpose and a oneness of action.

The end came in the thirteenth round of a scheduled 15-round battle which was desperately, viciously, savagely fought, a spectacular struggle to death. Forty three seconds after the thirteenth session started Referee Patty Haley a gray-haired pymy patrolside the two giants stepped between the pair, and wiped them apart from a clinch, and went right on waving in the direction of Wills forcing the Negro heavyweight to his corner, disqualified for fouling. Wills' disqualification came as a consequence of his repeated use of the back-hand blow and his offense in hitting on the breaks. It was for backhanding, or hitting with the heel of his glove, and for twice striking Sharkey in the face with short right crosses after Referee Haley ordered the embattled pair to break from a clinch, that Haley disqualified Wills. "I disqualified Wills for pulling his arm and hand back and using his right in a backhand blow in the clinches and for hitting twice in this round after being ordered to break," said Referee Haley after halting the battle. "I warned him no less than ten times during the fight. I could do nothing else." Sharkey Well in Lead Of the twelve rounds that preceded the final one, the Boston battler had won all and was well in the lead in the thirteenth. At times he had Wills so groggy that after several rounds the colored boxer started to the wrong corner. The fans were startled at the poor showing of Wills who was unable to do anything but clinch. He was badly beaten and left the ring a battered boxer. Sharkey First in the Ring Sharkey was the first to enter the ring and seemed to be in excellent spirits and, jigging around, went to a neutral corner and spoke into the radio microphone. When Sharkey was introduced he got a big hand but Wills received a bigger cheer. As they came to the center for a preliminary talk, the fighters towered over the white haired referee, Patsy Haley. At the bell Sharkey drove a right to Wills' body. Sharkey then rushed in and Wills crossed a heavy right hook to the jaw. They fought along the ropes and then Sharkey saw a right to the head and Sharkey came in again with his right. Sharkey weaved in and sent a right to the jaw. They clinched on the ropes and Wills missed a left. Sharkey sent another to the jaw as they clinched. Wills sent Sharkey back to the ropes and Sharkey sent another to the body. Sharkey was backing Wills into Harry's corner at the bell. It was Sharkey's round. They met in the center for the second round and Jack drove two sharps left to the face as Wills missed a right to the face and then clinched. They sparred at long range, after a session of wrestling in which Haley had his troubles parting the men. Wills misled left to the head and St. John in will a right to the head. Sharkey then sent a right to the face put a left to the body then wrestled Sharkey to the corner and was bored by the crowd for holding. This, too, appeared to be the round. Sharkey Rushes Rival Sharley rushed a jacket to the ring at the opening of the trunk and soo rushed. This to the ropes as they were wrapped in a collar, or say on moon's. Wills missed with his right as Sharley rushed in with two short righs to the jaw and Harry pushed back against the roses again. They sparred, after which Jack looked a fierce right to the jaw. Will slowed up considerable and for a little power in his punches. Will abbed Sharkey's right eye with a left and right to the head opened a cut or Shark eye. They were capped at the back after Will hit him. Was Sharkey's round. They met in the center, for the fourth round. Wills' right arm left to the body were to pedal a Jack jabbed to the face as they clinched at the ropes. As they came out of the clutch Wills jabbed, she spy to the jaw. Wills threw in a pose to the body but Jack brought up a right to the jaw and Wills was in bird shape. Sharkey missed a right percuss by an evelash, which probably would have ended the battle. He weaved in close and they basked into a corner. Sharkey not over a left to the face and a jab to the stomach which jarred Wills.

They met in midrning coming out for the fifth. Wills put in a right to the jaw, but Sharkey came over with a hard right to the head and Wills was blowing. Sharkey shot another left to the jaw and Harry shot a left to the face. He then put over a round-house right to the head and staggered Wills again as they By James P. Dawson A feeling of relief in the removal of the menace he constituted and a sense of satisfaction for those who championed the cause and the capabilities of Jack Dempsey whenever talk of a mixed title match occurred, stood out in the backwash of the downfall of Harry Wills at Ebbets Field last Tuesday night. Mingled with these emotions was a feeling of regret that it was not Dempsey who brought about the revelation. For not a man or woman in the vast throng which witnessed this latest ring debate would deny for a moment that Dempsey always was the master of Wills, basing the statement on the standard of comparisons. The fight brought another title contender to the front—a more dangerous challenger than many yet realize; certainly a more qualified and established contender than ever Wills was. Jack Sharkey today is on a plane with Jack Dempsey in the list of pursuers for Gene Tunney, present champion. if, indeed, he is not deserving of precedence over the former title holder. The Boston ex sailor did what Dempsey could not or would not do when he undertook the match with Wills. He also did what Tunney would not do. Tunney Once Evaded Sharkey Sharkey right now looks like the man who will heat Gone Tunney if Tunney is so reckless as to give the HubLithuanian a chance at the title in his first defense of the crown he won a few weeks ago. It is reasonable to conclude, too, that Tunney has a wholesome respect for the Boston lad. The work of Sharkey here against Eddie Huffman and against Wills recalls to mind that this same Sharkey was responsible for the difficulties in which Tunney found himself with the State Athletic Commission and the License Committee last summer. Colonel John J. Phelan of the License Committee insisted on Tunney boxing Sharkey in Madison Square Garden as a qualifying test for Tunney, then being boomed as an opponent for Dempsey. Sharkey signed for the bout with alacrity Tunney, or Billy Gibson acting for Tunney, verbally accepted the bout, according to Colonel Phelan, but never signed Sharkey. Subsequently Colonel Phelan favored suspension of Tunney until he fought Sharkey, and, while the suspension never actually was imposed, the fact remains that Tunney never was permitted to fight here. Now, as champion Tunney has this same Sharkey camping on his trail. What is more, while Tunney is ring idle, Sharkey plans to keep active in the sport, fighting any rivals selected for him, gradually forcing the issue until the public demands that Tunney give him his title chance. The first step in this direction will be taken by Johnny Buckley, manager of Sharkey, next Tuesday, when Buckley plans to go before the commission and submit a challenge from Sharkey to Tunney. Will Press Claim for Match "I want to get Sharkey a match with Tunney for "the title now" said Buckley yesterday. "We have been chasing Tunney for more than a year, but have right up with him yet. I think Jack is entitled to recognize you as the outstanding challenger for the title and I am confident the public will support us in our campaign to get Tunney on the ring when the time comes to defend him." "In the months to come will come." "In the meantime Sharkey will continue fighting. I am not going to try him. Plenty of fighting is a good prospect in the world, and it won't do him any harm. Let me protect him up the opponents. Jack Demper Jack Deloney. Jack will win again, anyone. Jack will fight them." The Boston lad left by auto-last night for his home in the Chestnut section of Boston. Sharkey is in good father of two daughters, nineteen months old, and fifty-four months old, and his deserves to get back home to his family took him away from the city without delay. "I never had any fear of Willa, said Sharkey. "I knew I could beat him he was made to observe the city. I am happy that I am who know I is up as something of an overseeing officer. Now I want Tunney. I think I deserve a chance at title and I intend to keep after until I get it." at Wills is not yet through with the ring, or so he says. "I would like another chance with Shriekey," said Wills wilted eyey. "I didn't fight my fight last night, that's he only excuse I can offer. I have no alibis. But I feel I can turn the tables if Snarkey will meet me again. I'm not going to retire. I still have plenty of good fighting in me and maybe now it won't be so hard for me to get fellows to fight." Wills' check for the fight was sent yesterday by Promoter Humbert Fugazy to the State Athletic Commission in accordance with the rules of the Commission which withholds the money of all boxers disqualified for fouling, pending investigation. Promoter Fugazy announced Wills' check was made out for $41,701, representing 35 per cent of the receipts. It is reported, however that Wills' reward will be $100,000, in which case the fight will result in a financial loss. The paid admissions yesterday were said to total 21,097 and the gross receipts were said to amount to $133,000. Sharkey's end was $17,700, or 15 per cent of the net receipts. This constitutes the biggest purse the Hub ladd ever has collected. His largest purse prior to Tuesday night was $9,000 for his last fight with Jim Maloney. He has been boxing professionally for twenty-eight months and in that time, has earned close to $50,000.

CHEYNEY DEFEATS DOWNING-TOWN 18 to 7 Wins Second Annual Game in Hard-Fought Contest In a gridiron battle marked by Cheyney's clever thrusts off tackle and several long dashes around the ends. Downingtown Industrial School's eleven was defeated 18-7 in its second annual contest with Cheyney Training School for Teachers. The latter's victory was all the more noteworthy as it bonks a squad of only thirteen men. Downingtown outweighed fifteen pounds to the man, made a plucky, stubborn fight, but was unable to unock an offensive which could gain consistently. In the final quarter a twenty-ward pass from H. Taliaferro to Leeder was blocked by a Cheyney back, but dropped into the arms of Haul who sned fifty yards to a touchdown with beautiful interference. Harry Taliaferro, diminutive Downingtown quarterback, was the outstanding defensive player on the field. His tackling was hard and sure and prevented Cheyney from rolling up a larger score. However, his judgment in the selections of plays was faulty and will have to be improved in the future games. Jackson, end, also played a 'fast game despite an injury received during the first scrimmage of the game. Downingtown plays James Adams School of Coatesville, October 30. The school has open dates for November 13 and 20, and would like to arrange games with some team that averages about 145 pounds. Write G. B. Lomax, Athletic Director. DO YOU KNOW THEM? Vienna, Ga.

No Secrets to Making Perfect Cup of Coffee Can Be Achieved By Following A Few Simple Rules Says Famous Cooking Expert By Mildred Maddocks Bentley Formerly Director of Good Housekeeping Institute What is the secret of first-rate coffee—the kind that starts the day right—that makes you feel "like a million dollars"? Literally hundreds of women—and a surprising number of men—have asked me this question in one form or another. And it's an important one—for what can be more blighting to domestic happiness than a cup of muddy coffee or coffee improperly "creamed"? And, on the contrary, what can be more exhilarating than a good cup—fragrant, golden, delicious? Luckily there's no hidden secret about making and serving the perfect coffee—it's just a matter of minding your p's and q's and following a few simple directions. easily be spoiled by using cream of inferior quality or the "top of the bottle" if carelessly poured off. In my study of food habits, I am finding that every year more and more people prefer sweetened condensed milk in their coffee. You see this kind is twice as rich and creamy as ordinary milk and furthermore already contains sugar, thus serving the additional purpose of sweetening the coffee. Try it for a few days, and I think you will agree that the condensed milk gives a delightfully rich, smoothly blended drink, bringing out the real coffee flavor. And of course it is very convenient, as it keeps fresh without ice even after the can is opened—and the cost is extremely moderate. Selection of Coffee There are many excellent brands of coffee in the market—the choice of one of these is largely a matter of individual taste. But I do want to say that usually coffee in the bean retains its flavor longer than in the ground form—so, if possible, buy the whole beans and grind your coffee fresh for each meal. If, however, the breakfast hour—or fifteen minutes—is too hectic to admit of this extra step, at least keep your ground coffee in an air tight container—a glass fruit jar for instance. And it's well to remember that the more finely the coffee is ground, the easier it is to extract its full strength and flavor—consequently finely-ground coffee is economical and time-saving. Connoisseurs maintain that coffee brewed in a metal pot has a less delicate flavor than in a container of glass, stone-ware or agate. Whatever kind of coffee pot you prefer—it should be scoured frequently and occasionally "boiled out" with water to which a pinch of baking soda has been added—then rinsed, dried, and left uncovered. If a percolator is used, the pipe should be carefully washed every day with a brush to remove all scum from the preceding brew. For drip coffee, if you do not have a special drip coffee pot, an ordinary one equipped with a double cheesecloth bag will serve the purpose. The cheesecloth should be washed in cold water after using and renewed at least once a week. Keep the bag always moist.

You see this kind is twice as rich and creamy as ordinary milk and furthermore already contains sugar, thus serving the additional purpose of sweetening the coffee. Try it for a few days, and I think you will agree that the condensed milk gives a delightfully rich, smoothly blended drink, bringing out the real coffee flavor And of course it is very convenient, as it keeps fresh without ice even after the can is opened—and the cost is extremely moderate. Now as to the actual methods of brewing. There are several and your choice is entirely a matter of individual taste. If the directions are carefully followed, any of the methods will yield the "perfect cup of coffee"—mellow in flavor, with a delicate, fragrant aroma, free from sediment and of a dark golden hue. Rinse the pot with hot water, put the coffee in the pot — one rounded tablepoon of medium-ground coffee — cup of boiling water, with an additional spoon — cup of boiling water, with an additional egg, or crushed egg shell and one fourth of water, stirring braiky. Add the boiling water, place the coffee pot over heat, and bring to a full boil. Add the coffee pot over heat or over heat for about ten minutes to selté, but keep the coffee to become unsetified by caramel pouri Percolated Coffee Use one cup of finely-ground coffee to six cups of water. Place the coffee in the strainer in the upper part of the cup, and the water bubble through the tube, percolating through the coffee into the lower part, until the coffee is of the desired strength. Serve at least one. Coffee made in a percolator is not good if allowed to cook after the strength is reached. **Drip Coffee** Heat the pot by stirring in hot water, and wet the strainer. Measure carefully the coffee (finely-ground) in the pot and pour it over the water. Place in the drip-medium and pour boiling water through the coffee very slowly. Cover and let stand to drip through and simmer. Do not let stand to boil. If the service is delayed, put in or over hot water. Never reheat by placing over the fire. **Steeped Coffee** In making steeped coffee use one rounded tablespoon of coffee to each cup of water, with an addition of sugar. The coffee should be heated and bring quickly to the boiling point. Either let it stand for a moment to sit or add a little cold water. Remember—the best coffee will lose its flavor if allowed to stand. Coffee should always be freshly made and served piping hot, as soon as it is brewed. If necessary to let stand, the pot should be tightly covered and the spout closed by stuffing with soft cloth or paper, so that none of the aroma and flavor may be lost. pices of Sister Maria Motley on behaf of brother Drew, who has been in failing health for a long while, $20.00 was collected.

Seven robbers in two automobiles opened fire with a sub-machine gun at a street corner in Elizabeth. N. J., at 9:10 o'clock yesterday morning on a small United States mail truck which was carrying registered mail and cash said to total $200,000 from the Federal Reserve Bank in this city to the Elizabethport Banking Company. John Enz the driver of the truck, toppled dead from his seat, having been hit in the head by two expanding bullets. John Quinn, the assistant driver, was shot three times and badly wounded. Motorcycle Policeman Jacob Christman was shot and run over by one of the bandit automobiles. Men who ran out of stores and cafes at Sixth and Elizabeth Avenues where the shooting occurred, were driven back by bullets. Between thirty and forty shots were fired altogether. In the meantime, using metal shears, three feet in length robbers cut through the padlock and slashed the heavy wire of the truck. They loaded the six sacks into their two cars and sped away. Of the $300,000 which the truck was carrying, $160,000 in cash was said to be destined, to the Singer Manufacturing Company for payroll purposes.

Will Carry On The city has kept a stiff per- ion and believes the best way to help herself and her people now and in the future is to carry on as equal. Florida expects to welcome the greatest crowds in its history this winter. Hotels and apartment houses have been increased by 112,000,000 of construction in Florida during the past year. Modules of winter rates have been increased and the Miami Chamber of Commerce wishes it understood there will be no deviation from these prices. The extent of good roads has been greatly increased both in and in Florida and automobilists will be welcomed. --- THE CITY OF NEW YORK VISIT TIME IN PATENUS BUSY MIAMI A WEEK AFTER THE STORMA In cooperation with Miami the cities of the East Coast, including St. Augustine, Ormond Beach, Daytona Beach, New Smyrna, Fort Pierce, and West Palm Beach will stage the biggest athletic program, and meets, tournaments, races and other entertainments vet held in Florida. Visitors will find a new Miami facing the future with courage, and pushing on to the development of a greater and more permanent Florida. It is pointed out that the storm and constituted a little less than one percent of the area of Florida. But in this stretch Florida new and better homes are rising and will rise to take the THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND. VIRGINIA THE MACHINE place of structures damaged or destroyed. The greatest damage was the small cheaply built homes and buildings which had been considered ample for the semi-tropical where protection against heavy cold is unnecessary. Generally speaking, the loss was greatest to people of limited means, and Florida is deeply grateful to the nation for help extended through the Red Cross and other agencies. Public utilities carried on. The storm occurred on a Saturday and by Sunday evening the Electric Light Company, Miami had its service resumed. The Spectre Railway Company, of Miami, in September increased its business 95 per cent over September of last year. Marmoth Hostelries Pierce Skyline of Greatest Hotel Center in World THE HOTEL NEW PALMER HOUSE Chicago is destined to become the greatest hotel center in the world. At least that is the claim of those who have watched mam-moth hotels pierce the skylines in recent years.

Rising twenty-five stories and containing 2,280 rooms, the lower floors of the building are constructed of solid blocks Greater Miami T BeWorldCity Says Frank A Pierson FRANK A. PIERSON Frank A. Pierson, secretary of the Daytona Beach Chamber of Commerce, said in New York that Daytona Beach and the whole East Coast of Florida stand back of Miami and her sister cities in South Florida. "So when you consider the wealth of Miami, give the wealth and fertile soil of northern Florida a thought," said he.

This gives the hotel a massiveness and distinction that reflects beauty and permanence. Harmonizing in material with the Auditorium, one of Chicago's earliest and foremost hotels, the Congress, nationally known for its great political and commercial conventions, the beautiful Drake hotel on the lake shore, and others, the new Palmer House will take it place beside these famous monuments of the world's greatest hotel center. Demand for stone for hotel construction, according to the Indiana Limestone company, has been extremely heavy in the past six months and gives evidence of continuing well into 1927. Gold From Insists craft Gun Gold From Silver Nitrate! Chemist Insists It Can Be Done GOLD more plentiful than copper. Monetary standards of the whole world shattered to bits. The old fable of streets paved with gold actually come true. These are some of the predictions of Thomas G. Cockings. 73-year-old alchemist of Los Angeles. "I am making gold," says Cockings. "I am making it by a chemical and electrical process of treating chemically pure silver nitrate. For 32 years I have been trying to produce gold that could be made on a com- mercial basis. And I've succeeded." Cockings protests the claim of C. F. Adams of Dayton O. that he had made gold from a baser metal. "Adams used mercury," he says, "and mercury contains gold. All he is doing is recovering a residue I use silver nitrate—which contains no gold—as my base. My process is transmutation. I first get signs of copper, then of lead, then nickel and finally gold. "I have carried the process farther and secured platinum. And, if carried still further, I believe radium would be the result. "Making gold is nothing new. Millions of dollars" worth was made in Solomon's time. The walls of houses and public buildings were lined with it. Bu' when Solomon's people died they took the secret with them. "I have perfected my process and American Women Owe Much to Advertising, Says Mrs. Harriman American Women Owe Much to Advertising, Says Mrs. Harriman If the bargain-hunting women of America, the world's greatest shoppers, were to give serious study to the lure of "something-for-leas" they would learn many tricks of trade, according to Mrs. J. Borden Harriman, chairman of the National Consumers' League. "The average American woman is unaware of the her indebtedness to the consumption advertising of standardized products," said Mrs. Harriman. "Organized effort in the interest of truthful advertising has raised the standard, and the assurance back of trade-marked articles means a great deal to the woman buying a great variety of goods of which she cannot possibly be a judge. "Large stores and manufacturing plants employ experts to buy their wares and raw materials, but the infinite variety purchased by the large army of women shoppers precludes the possibility of a knowledge of materials and workmanship entering into all the items on her shopping list. "Her only safety lies in the purchase of a line of goods which she has tried with satisfaction and which she knows will measure up to the same standards of quality and value. Price alone is not a sufficient warranty of quality in shopping. "As chairman of the Consumers' League, I can think of nothing that would be so demoralizing to the retail business of the country as the sudden disappearance of all trade marks and other distinguishing names from our stores." Mrs. Harriman, because of her position with the Consumers' League, has made an intensive study of questions of merchandising and distribution.

Wins Fame Behind Prison WallsRemarkable Experience of a Brilliant Colored Man. RIGHT Reprint and publishing rights reserved exclusively by the author.) "WITHIN PRISON WALLS." (Editor's Note: "Witness Prison Walls' 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 ten years) in his positions (as 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.) (Continued from last week.) WANTED SIGNED STATEMENT With such assurance I continued my way until on one occasion certain men in company with an attorney tried to force the girl to sign a statement on which they could base a parole violation against me. On the promise of the girl that she would see me no more she was released without making any statement. Of course I was immediately notified of their action and became so incensed that I immediately went to the office of these parties with a view of securing vengeance but everything was smoothed over, at least so I thought. It just happened that the Warden had taken sick and was rushed to Mayo Brothers' Hospital in Rochester, Minnesota. The parties were very prominent politically and the deputy warden was under their obligation, in fact his job was held subject to their good will]. RETURNED TO PRISON He was putty in their hands and at their command he sent for and returned me to prison without even a semblance of an excuse, without even any opportunity to allow me to save any of my business effects, files or compilations in which I had thousands of dollars invested in money and time. The Warden did not return for several weeks and when he did there was nothing he could do till the Parole Office at Lansing acted on my case. At this time a Parole and Pardon Commissioner had supplanted the old system of a Pardon Board and his visits to Marquette were held only at intervals of several months. WARDEN'S ENCOURAGEMENT With the encouragement received from the Warden I started communicating with firms outside the state with a view of securing definite offers from reliable firms so that I could be reparoled outside the state when the Parole Commissioner arrived. I successfully secured a splendid offer through Mr. Ira Lewis of the Pittsburgh Courier and a liberal contract was drawn up that would have netted me several thousands a year as their special traveling representative. They had gotten in touch both with the Governor and the Pardon Commissioner and their consent seemed imminent. SENT TO LANSING On a Friday night some months after my return a telegram was received by the Warden to send me to Lansing at once. I was several hundred miles from there and getting in communication by wire they were instructed that it was unnecessary to send an officer with me. This again meant freedom and I left the next day, this time with no money or business but an excellent contract with the Pittsburgh Courier people and felt I would have no trouble in making good. Arriving at Lansing however I was told that the Governor had assigned me as clerk to the superintendent of a Road Camp that he had just erected. MICHIGAN BEHIND Up to this period no prisoners had been employed on the roads and Michigan was frightfully behind other states in the matter of road improvements. This was the first camp established as an experiment and due to my knowledge and experience of prison conditions and men together with my ability to take charge of and carry out the routine office work in conjunction with the camp the Governor felt I would be a good assistant to Mr. Arnold, the road superintendent, which I afterwards became, Secretary and Assistant. AN EFFICIENT SYSTEM As this camp was but a beginning of what has since proved to be the most up-to-date and efficient system of road-building by prisoners undertaken anywhere in the country it might be appropriate to explain the method in vogue. It was the Governor's desire to take the men out of the stuffy sweat shouts inside the prison and place them in some beneficial fresh air work and road-building proved the result. At the same time he did not wish Michigan to become one of those states where the men working the roads were slaves to some contractor where brutalities and extortion existed. With this in view he organized model camps placing each camp under the charge of experienced humanitarian disciplina- CHILDLESS MARRIAGES EXPLAINED.

The very latest machinery was secured and installed thereby keeping each camp free from the cruel arduous drudgery that other states were using and at the same time providing a finished concrete job under the guidance of skilled expert engineers that was possible to obtain. In addition the men were paid a dollar and a quarter a day thus giving each man who was nearing the end of his prison term an opportunity of earning and saving a few hundred dollars towards the day when freedom should come. With the extension of these ideals and plans Michigan today surpasses any state in the country in the matter of its road building by its inmates. ENGROSSED IN WORK The writer became much engrossed in his work and soon won the confidence of all, such work bringing me almost daily in intimate contact with the officials at Lansing including the Governor and on occasions being summoned to Lansing for conference even into the Governor's office. Certainly in that field I was at the pinnacle of success but to use an expression which the Governor at a later date used while reprimanding me, "I couldn't stand prosperity" for I soon was spending my nights in cabarets, etc., a pleasure that no paroled man should indulge in much less one was holding a position where his every act was censored and reported on by scores of jealous ones. TEMPTATION OF WILD LIFE If at any time I should have exercised an abundance of will-power in shunning the bright lights and while of course I resented it at that time I can now see that they were perfectly justified in returning me to prison before the wild life that I was again beginning to sup got me into some definite trouble. Mr. Arnold, the road superintendent, did not feel that I had committed any offense or had been caught in any misdemeanor and that returning me to prison was too drastic and he immediately got in touch with the Governor with the result that I was returned to Jackson Prison instead of Marquette with the faint hope that when things were cleared up I would be given another chance. NEW PRISON PERSONNEL On arriving again at the prison in which my sentence originally started I was met with an almost new prison personnel. I was taken into the record clerk's office, registered and instructed to wait there as the Warden wished to personally see me. In due time he arrived and proceeded to give me a most scorching lecture, which I no doubt justly deserved, explaining to me that the Governor had called him personally on the phone and told him that if he ever "talked" to anyone to do so to me as I needed some sort of shaking up for me to realize the seriousness of life. The Warden told me to forget about any previous prison operations or positions that I had had for this time I was to be put through the "mill" right HARD WORK AHEAD He told me that I could look forward toward to nothing but hard work, possibly the coal pile, and that I would do every day of my sentence this time. All my correspondence was rigidly censored and even my personal letters to personal friends returned to me. Certainly I was in for a hard go of it which I accepted philosophically and decided to make the best of it. There had been many changes since I first entered the prison and under the modern efficient methods that Govenor Groosbeck had been instrumental in establishing in the various penal institutions the routine of receiving new prisoners had decidedly changed. From the record, clerk's office I was taken up to the guard room to the photographer's room and immediately photographed. (To be continued) Bring us your job work.

Richmond, Va I received your treatment O. K., and I have started to taking it already for a few days, and it has already begun to improve my aliment so I am sending to you for one more bottle of medicine for the b'ood. 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 "Buffalooes", 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 Moss 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 EGRO 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. As we have fought for the rights of mankind and for the future peace and security of the world, the people want to be correctly and fully informed of the facts concerning OUR Heroes—and this is THE Book they are looking for. THE ONLY HISTORY THAT WILL FULLY SATISFY THE AMERICAN COLORED PEOPLE This Book appeals to the Colored People. They are eager to buy it. Why—Because it is the only War Book published that thrillingly, graphically, yet faithfully describes the wonderful part that the Colored Soldier has taken in the World War and is absolutely fair to the Negro. It relates to the world now 300,000 Negroes crossed the North Atlantic, braving the attacks of the Submarine Peril, to battle for Democracy. The loyalty and parrotism that characterized the black man's nature his sublime self-sacrifice, his indisputable bravery, the wisdom of Negro Officers in command of their own troops.
