LILLIAN MORGAN LOSES LIFE A Gruesome Happening in West-end of the City George Brackett's Statement---Jealousy the Cause of the Horrible Affair VOLUME XLIV, NO. 15 STABB A Grue George Br Killed in West-end (Special by John Mitchell, Jr.) A colored woman lay on a cooling board in the morgue of Funeral Director A. D. Price, Jr. last Wednes day morning with a knife wound in her back. Her name was Lillian Morgan and the youth charged with the crime was George Bracket. He resides with his mother at 1512 Staples Street and the dead woman resided at the same address. In the Police Court Wednesday morning, the case was continued until Satur day, 19th inst. AT THE CITY JAIL A visit to the city jail and here in the midst of this surging mass of humanity was found the prisoner, charged with murder. A word or two with Deputy Sergeant John H. Saunders and his assistants and then was seen George Brackett. He is of dark complexion and not more than 5 feet 6 inches in height. He wanted to know my mission and it took some time for him to understand. In reply to queries, he said that he had no lawyer. ATTENDED MOORE SCHOOL His mother's name was Mary Brackett and his grandmother's name was Frances Brackett. They all lived at 1512 Staples Street. He said that he was 20 years of age. He had attended Moore School. He was employed by the Richmond Transfer Company. He said that Mr. Gentry, the magistrate, had warned him about this girl. She was in trouble last week. He had one time paid her fine. "It all started," he said. "when I started going with another girl named Caroline Hatcher. USED VILE LANGUAGE "She told me she wanted to see me. She said, 'You s—n of a b—I'll cut you.' She had a knife and I caught it. See, here is where I cut my finger in doing so." He had his finger tied up. "I had started to go out to meet the other girl and after the trouble. I went to her house and there the officers arrested me. She had been in trouble before for cutting people. Lillian is 20 years old. PEOPLE NOT KNOWN "I do not know any of her people. She had been staying at my mother's house. She does not do anything. I give her money. I paid her fine the other day and I paid her fine Saturday." This ended the interview. Coroner Whitfield viewed the remains on Wednesday morning. Lillian Morgan's mother has arrived in the city from Indianapolis, Ind. to make arrangements for the funeral of her daughter. Her daughter's remains had been prepared for burial and rest in the parlors of Funeral Director A. D. Price, Jr. There are two wounds, one under the left nipple of her breast, producing death and the other in the back. It is also reported that Brackett killed her because she was going with another man. The witnesses summoned in the case are as follows: Dr. M. M. Hill, John Morgan Mary Brackett Peter Smith, Dr. I. A. Jackson, J. T. Sacra, J. E. Cook, G. Z. Parker, L. C. Haake G. P. Smith, A. C. Holt, C. M. Hooker. DEATH OF MRS.

Brown's Great Sermon. Sixth Mount Zion Baptist Church Packed--Prayer Meeting the Theme--Everybody Happy There. Despite a downpour of rain, a large crowd filled the main auditorium and the galleries at the Sixth Mt. Zion Baptist Church to hear a powerful sermon scheduled to be delivered by Rev. A. W. Brown, the pastor, entitled, "The Prayer Meeting's Place in the Church." The S. M. M. REV A W BROWN divine spoke of a committee from the University of Richmond (white) which was present and had come to state that a meeting had been arranged for Saturday night. Feb. 19, at the William Byrd Hotel in honor of John Jasper. A speaker would deliver an address with him as a subject. This committee was composed of Brothers J. B. Kinon and R. W. Milbourn. A quartete from the Sixth Mt. Zion Church had been requested to sing. Chairman C. H. Branch made an announcement, after which Clerk N. W. Bouldin read notice. Dea con Spurlock made an appeal for money and the collection was lifted. Collection, $108.05. The committee from the University of Richmond was requested to stand. The choir rendered, "I Couldn't Hear Nobody Pray." Then came the sensational singing by Rev. J. E. Jeltz Gospel Singer of the National Baptist Convention and also the soloist and song leader for that great body. He sang "Lower Down the Charlot, Let Me Ride." He has a stentorian voice of remarkable power and rich melody and he is as deeply affected as his hearers. Rev. Brown's great sermon was as follows: "Peter therefore was kept in prison but prayer was made without coaxing of the Church unto God for him"—Acts 12:5. PRAYER MEETINGS' PLACE IN THE CHURCH. Herdod had killed James and saw that it pleased the Jews; he decided to take Peter as soon as the days of enleven bread were over. During this time the church held a continual prayer meeting, for his deliverance. THE EARLY CHURCHES WERE BORN IN PRAYER MEETINGS. All the churches of the apostolic A. day were born in prayer meetings. That is why they had such a tremendous growth. They were the daughters of praying mothers. Prayer meeting is the mother of churches i. e. real churches, and all others are spiritual bastards. God has never intended for any church to be born in grief and confusion such as we have and suffer at this day and time. The New Testament condemns one half of these eye-sore objects we see calling themselves unjustly and oppressing them (Matt. 18:16-18). The New Testament will condemn nearly one half of the organizations that call themselves churches. They grow up out of confusion. When it is plainly set forth in the New Testament what a church is and how it is to be born.

He went farther than Alexander the Great, who carried his arms and civilization of Greece into the heart of Asia, or that of Caesar when he landed on the shores of Great Britain, or Columbus' voyage from Palos, Spain to America. The destiny of the Christian world was decided by Paul in his westernly direction. If Paul had (Continued on page 4.) RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1927. Cornelius Yancey Found "Not Guilty" The Plea of Unwritten Law Saves Church-hill Youth from Electric Chair--Attorney C. W. Moss Makes Great Effort Cornellius Yancey was tried in the Hustings Court of this city last Monday, Judge Coleman of Fredericksburg, presiding in place of Judge Matthews, who is sick. The charge was murder. He shot and killed Clarence Kelly shortly before midnight, Monday, November 15, 1926. His plea at the time was that he left his house and upon his return saw a man running out and getting over the fence. He fired at him and killed him. GRAND JURY FAILED TO INDIOT WILLIAM HAMILTON.

William Hamilton, the chauffeur charged with involuntary man slaughter, was not indicted by the February grand jury and the case against him in the death of Mrs. Mary Eliza Cooper, at 7th and Grace Streets, Tuesday January 18th, was dropped. A GREAT WORK OF FAITH. (Newport, News Star.) Twenty-five years ago there came to this city a young minister, who took charge of a poor, struggling church on Twentieth Street and Ivy Avenue. This church was then surrounded by what was known as the "tough element of Bloodfield" the entire population being hostile to the church. The field offered everything but a bright future to the young minister who took charge. But he went about his work with an energy, intelligence and thoroughness that still distinguish him as a pastor, and have made of his inauspicious beginning one of the foremost churches in Tidewater. .Dr. C. E. Jones is the man who has wrought this miracle in twenty-five years. The old frame building, dilapidated, and lacking in all modern improvements has been replaced by a brick and stone edifice, beautiful of design with a large searing capacity and in all respects one of our very best church buildings. The influence of the church has been felt to such an extent that Ivy Avenue is now a good place to live, and many of our citizens felt it at that location. Add to all this the fact that the church is free of debt, is well organized and gives generously to every worthy movement in the community, and you get a conception of the vision and faith which have made Dr. C. E. Jones conspicuous among the great pastors of the State. The Star congratulates Dr. Jones up on his great work, which was celebrated in his twenty-fifth anniversary this week and we extend our felicitations in equal portions to his officers and members whose work, loyalty, and cooperation have made the work of Dr. Jones successful and established his church—Zion Baptist—as a veritable 'mother in Zion.' THE ACADEMY OF MUSIC. The stock company known as the Academy Players are scoring heavily with the Richmond public in their renditions. Director James H. Doyle has been particularly fortunate with the advice of Manager Loo Wise, in his selections from the Great White Way of Broadway New York. "Treat 'em Rough" was especially pleasing. The players are well adapted to the lightning changes now necessary in placing before the theatre-goers of this section these dramatic masterpieces and transcendently pleasing comedies. At times seats have soared to a premium. As to Mr. Doyle he is "at home" either as a director or as an actor. This week "Alias the Deacon" has "brought down the house." In "Treat 'em Rough," the New York Italian jargon was the feature. Tony Kubiak and Tom with the addition of the organ grinder the monkey and the inimitable Miss Kathleen Comegys charmed and delighted Richmond for a whole week. The other characters were brilliant and impressive. No aggregation of players as a whole have ever held up without noticeable weakening on the part of any of them as these Academy Players are doing.

B Uncle Sam has taken the de- spised rat into partnership in the business of safeguarding the na- tional food. In popular conception, the rat is regarded as one of the greatest species both to our food and our health. He has long been associated with a dangerous and destructive behavior. He destroys annually vast quantities of food and foodstuffs, the carries disease and contagion, the carries millions of dollars in the attempt to eradicate him andreset his ravages. And yet—scientists agree that the human rat well-being of the human race during the next generation may be more greatly advanced, by reason of the rat, than by any other factor now known. For it is to the rat that science looks chiefly for further knowledge concerning the vitamins and proteins essential to human growth and health. As the partner of the scientist, the rat may yet renew mankind for all his days now, to look now he no assistance be based on in the government's good investigation TANS SCRAWNY RAT GOT NONE. "stable" of several hundred rats is maintained. Exact records are kept of the food elements provided different individuals and groups, and close studies made to determine the effects on growth, health, reproductive ability and all phases of development. From these tests the action of various food ingredients in the vitamins and proteins, which determine the nutritive value and wholesomeness of individual foodstuffs, can be determined. Vitamins are need life and affected of addin tables, to inl Also that the such as minum mins. The baking "Most that we know about vitamins' says Dr. D. Breeze Jones, senior chemist of this government laboratory, "has been learned from the effects they produce upon animals. Vitamins play a very different role in nutrition from other food constituents. neither energy nor tissue-building material is required for tissue-building to that of a spark plug in a gas engine. In some way, not yet understood, they regulate and control certain vital processes. The relative vitamin content of any food can be ascertained only by feeding experiments in animal animals such as rats, in which the digestive processes are closely While the vitamin content of most primary foods already has been determined in comparative degrees, such as "abundant", "rich", "poor", "deficient", etc. study has been made to date of the effects on the health of the various agricultural, mineral elements, conservatives and other exotic ingredients contained in many modern-day foods. This is recognized as the big future field for dietary research. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND' VIRGINIA and Dr. Charles A. Browne chief of the U. S. Bureau of Chemistry, charged with pure food enforcement, maintains that if the nation's food supply is to be properly protected the whole field of nutrition and dietetics must be restudied in the light of present-day knowledge of vitamins and proteins. This is particularly true, he holds, because of the increasing consumption of prepared foods. In these studies, Drs. Browne and Jones agree, the lowly rat will work hand in hand with the scientist. If the American public is to remain strong and vigorous on a diet of prepared, prechewed, predigested foods, it will be due to the martyrdom of a host of rats, sacrificed in the study of how to prepare, prechew and preigest foods without killing off their vitality. Small-Town Girl Excels City Sister As Cook—She "Knows Her Groceries" "Small town girls are better looks than their city sisters." This is the decision of Miss Dabel Stegner, domestic science expert, of New York, after reviewing some thousands of manuscripts received in a contest held among the science students in high schools. Not only are the girls in small towns more interested in the ways and means of preparing tasty dishes. Miss Stegner found, but they understand better the action of the ingredients that go into their cooking and remembrance. They are indicted by their city sisters. As the current slang phrase has it—the "know their groceries." The interest of American girls in culinary science probably was never better guaged than by this contest, in which a free trip to Europe was given the winner by the Royal Baking Powder Co. While the contest itself was based specifically on the subject of why baking powder made with cream of tartar is best, the preparation of the papers required not only a theoretical, but a practical knowledge of cooking, particularly of baking, and an understanding of dietetics and kitchen chemistry. Almost without exception, the judges found, the girls from well-known schools excelling the girls from large cities. Of the 25 manuscripts selected for serious consideration, for instance, just two came from cities of over 100,000. Of the 10 from which the final selection was made, not one came from a town of over 10,000. The greater distractions of city life, existence in small apartments, the convenience of delicatessen stores and bake shops, all contribute to the city girl's lack of culinary skill, in the opinion of Miss Lulu Graves, consultant in dietetics, another of the judges. Circumstances that than innate "crutinization" "says Miss Graves, "are responsible for the greater interest and skill of girls in small town and rural communities. More meals eaten more time dedicated to done Vitamin B, for instance which is necessary for maintenance of life and health at all ages, is easily affected by alkalies. The custom of adding soda when cooking vegetables, Dr. Jones states, is found to injure the vitamin content. Also there is reason to believe that the presence of mineral salts, such as salts of copper and aluminum, is destructive to the vita- The form of alum used in some baking powders is indicated likely to be harmful to the vitamins, probably through the action of its mineral content. The facility with which such compounds enter into combination with natural food elements make them potentially detrimental in rendering non-nutritious foods which otherwise are valuable.

P. Taylor, of the United States government's new maritime Tampa, predicted recently in New York at the conclusion of an experiment in which hunter College girls ran the ship, from engine room to pilot house. The students received no notice from the regular crew. The success of this experiment," Captain Taylor said, "demonstrates conclusively that America, in producing the new Washington Diesel engine, has the personnel problem of ocean navigation for all nations. Without fires to stoke or ash pits to clean, work in the living room ceases to require physical strength, and be a question of intelligence. "I would not say that their operation of the Tampa today was perfect, but as far as any one, 1970 the home and the preparation of meals is more largely shared by the girls of the household. The city girl works at a greater variety of things outside the home than does the girl in the small town and has a greater number of distractions." The most encouraging thing developed by the contest, in the opinion of Miss Stegner, is that each year 300,000 girls, in high school domestic science classes, are learning the fundamentals of dietetics and the preparation of wholesome foods. "The result," she declares, "will be a generation of housewives who will be able to judge the foods available. While their mothers used certain ingredients or methods because they never fall or because they give good results, the daughters will use them for the same reasons plus a definite knowledge of the whys and wherefores of their action and of their effects on palatability and direction."

Herod put Peter in jail, and placed four quartierlan (16) of soldiers to watch with the best guns of their day and time, with orders to shoot to kill, with the seal of their government at his back. PETER HAD A PRAYER MEETING AT HIS BACK. Well, you say, what did Peter have at his back? He had a handful of Christian people holding prayer meeting for him. But they had Jesus at their back and that was more powerful than all the legions of the Roman army. This Bible tells me that while Peter was in prison the church was in "earnest prayer to God" in Mary's house. PETER WAS WELL GUARDED AS THEY THOUGHT. Peter was well guarded. Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, with keepers before the gates (Acts 12:6:7). I notice Peter was asleep. What? To die tomorrow and asleep? Yes, they are having prayer meeting for me, Peter said. As long as that band of Christians yonder have a prayer meeting I can sleep. JESUS WAS AWAKE. And then you notice again while Peter was asleep Jesus was awake and that little crowd in Mary's house was awake and every angel in Heaven was on guard. That isn't the first time they stood on watch. They stood on guard in Egypt Babylon at the Red Sea, at the grave of Jesus. And they came down to see about Peter. I believe every angel, if need be, would have flown out of the windows of Heaven. THEY TOLD PETER TO PUT ON HIS SHOES. The angels touched Peter, woke him up and told him to put on his shoes, take time lace them up, never mind these legions of soldiers, take your time, gird yourself up right; don't be in a hurry, there is plenty of time. God doesn't have to hurry to beat the Devil. God has never been too late to beat the Devil. He is always on time. The child of God doesn't have to leave half dressed. Wrap your cloak etc. THE ANGEL LED PETER PAST THE DANGER ZONE. They led Peter past the first second and third watch. There were three gates and soldiers at each gate. The angel stayed with Peter until he had passed every obstacle and gotten out in the street. Brother, God will stay with you until you pass the last danger pane. His orders are to his angels, "Don't leave my child in trouble in the danger zone." THE PRAYER MEETING GOD'S ARMORY The prayer meeting is God's armory. Do you know what an armory is? It is the place where you keep in safety the arms, ammunition and assemble the militia and weapons of war. The man or woman who does not go to the prayer meeting sometime hasn't much ammunition. You may have influence, but no power. The prayer meeting is to a church what the battery is to an automobile. It does not add any life but it sets the life in motion that is already in the car. I had an experience not long since that is very applicable. I had a long distance telephone message to come to Ashland to fill an engagement. I went to the garage and took my seat in the car. Everything was in place, looked as it did the day I drove it from the firm. I stepped on the starter, but there was no sign of life. On examination I found the battery had gone dead, and on closer examination I found there was a short circuit that had drawn the life from the battery. The man or woman who does not go to the praver meeting is out of harmony with the spirit of the church and is a short circuit. God has so many short circuits in His churches. PRAYER MEETINGS FREED US. We were freed by prayer meetings that were held under brush arbors and log cabins on dirt floors. We didn't have a single college or university. God knew what he was doing if we had had them I guess we would be in slavery now. The greatest weapon in all this world is prayer. Yes sir it has won more victories than all the long range and machine guns that science can invent. PAUL AND SILAS FREED FROM JAIL (Acts 12: 6-26) Paul and Silas went to Phillip, opened up a prayer meeting in a "certain house." A damsel that brought her master a big income was converted and stopped telling fortunes (lies). Her master got mad and framed up a charge and swore out a false indictment. Sued them, had them put in jail beat them with many stripes, said to the jaller. "Keep them safely." He put them in the inner prison and to make sure, fastened their feet in stocks. THEY HELD A MIDNIGHT PRAYER MEETING. (Acts 16:25) At midnight Paul and Silas sang and prayed unto God. The prisoners heard them. God and THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND' VIRGINIA the angels, too. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, that shook the foundation (ground) of the jail Shook every shackle off, and then shook every lock loose and then shook every gate open. The jailer knowing the penalty, after seeing every door open, drew his sword and attempted to kill himself. Paul cried with a loud voice, "Do thyself no harm, for we are all here, there is a better way out of this than self murder." He trembling and fearful unto death cried "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" as he knelt at the feet of Paul and Silas. PRAYER WILL MAKE ENEMIES KNEEL AT YOUR FEET. The right kind of prayer will make your enemies kneel at your feet and change their attitude toward your welfare. Yes, sir, he now says, "Shrs" a term of respect, "what must I do to be saved!" He sees his lost condition and his inability to save himself. Paul gave him the remedy. "Believe on our God and our Christ and thou shalt be saved. Paul and Silas became their guest. He washed their stripes and put meat before them. JESUS WAS A GREAT BELIEVER IN BRAYER MEETING. Jesus Himself was a great believer in prayer meeting. All the important events of His public ministry were preceded by a prayer meeting, either by Himself or His chosen few. Let us follow the record as recorded in His Gospel. Jesus has just come from His hour of prayer and while praying, God spoke from Heaven as the Holy Dove descended upon Him and said, "This is My Beloved Son, etc." (Luke 3:21). HE SPENT THE NIGHT IN PRAYER. (Luke 6:12-13) We are taken with Him up the mountain side, where He spent the night in prayer before selecting the Twelve chosen to make up the cabinet. Brethren we can never forget that memorable occasion as He came winding down the side of the mountain in the fourth watch of the morning-walking. HE WALKED ON THE WATER. By the side of the sea where the winds had whipped the waves into foam. He sees the little boat still battling against the wind. His disciples discern the form of a man. They are afraid. He speaks "It is I, be not afraid". Then Peter, tempting Peter applied the test which worked all right as long as he kept his eye on Jesus. HIS PRAYER MEETING ON THE NIGHT OF TRANSFIGURATION. (Luke 9:29-29) He took with him Peter, James and John upon the mountain to attend a prayer meeting. He was to have two very distinguished and outstanding guest, Moses and Elijah. Here Peter's soul caught on fire. Jesus prayed until His face was lightened up with the presence of Heaven. If you want your face to light up, go to the prayer meeting. JESUS CLOSED HIS WORK HERE WITH PRAYER. My brethren, God grant that I may have that halo or bliss Jesus asked for and received in the closing scene of His life (John 17:1-12) when with one eternal breath God shall blow out the sun and the stars will be piled up along the highways of eternity like wrecked cart wheels, this expanse will close in and old time will reach her hand across the narrow circle and all! all! will become one vast eternity; may I then rest forever with my Lord, my King, my Saviour. Increase your weight 5 Pounds in 30 days or Money Back Doctors and good pharmacists know that Cod Liver Oil is full of vitamins that make flesh, create appetite, build up the power to resist disease and puts good solid flesh on skinny men and women. But it's repulsive in taste and smell and nearly every stomach rebels against it. So now men and women who keep up with the times are taking McCoy's Cod Liver Oil Compound Tablets—rich in flesh producing, health building, strength creating vitamins and as easy to take as candy. Try them for 30 days if you want to fill out those scrawny hollows in chest, cheeks and neck and gain strength and vigor. And bear this in mind if they don't help you in that time any druggist anywhere will return your money—But demand McCoy's 60 tablets 60 cents. FIFTH ST. BAPTIST CHURCH "Like the man who was given one talent, many people today are digging in the earth and hiding their talents instead of using them for the Master; but Q, how awful! it will be to stand before Him. and hear Him say, 'Thou wicked and slothful servant!' and be driven away from His presence forever." These won dertful pictures on "The Return of Our Lord to This Earth" are making lasting impressions as they are being so beautifully painted by our pastor, Dr. Charles S. Morris each Sunday morning. His subject at 11:30 "The Man Who Loafed on the Job" was taken from Matthew the 25th chapter. The rainfall was heavy; but the services were well attended. Mrs. Josephine Graham, wife of Dr. W. F. Graham, who pastored Fifth Street fifteen years ago, brought us greetings from Philadelphia. It is always a treat to have Sister Graham with us. ..A group of young people: Thelma Henderson, Geneva Clayton Kermit Lucas, Joseph Lucas, Meta Jones.

Dr. Charles S/ Morris pastor of the old and influential Fifth Street Baptist Chureh, Rich- mond, denies categorically charges made by Attorney James C. Thomas of New York City in a suit to eollect fees for services alleged. to have heen rendered by Mr. Thomas in pekalf of Mr. Morris when the latter was arrested on December 4. 1925, on an extradition warrant from ‘Tennessee. In account of the suit instituted by ‘Attorney Thomas to collect a fee of $200, and expenses for taxicab and telegrams totalling $6.20, it was published that Mr. Morris | was charged with theft of an automobile; that Mr. Thomas procured dismissal Ot the indictment that all disburse- ments for expenses had been paid by Mr, Thomas and that Morris had refused to reimburse the lawyer for funds advanced, or pay the legal fee. Suit was filed by Attorney Max- well Shapiro on bebalf of Mr. Thom- as on December 30, and the sum: mong was served on Mr, Morris on Monday. January 24. DENIED CHARGE WAS THEFT. In a statement to The Age, Mr. Merrie denied that theft of the auto was charged in the warrant, assert irg that the only basis of the charge against him was that he had pur- cased a car in Memphis. Tenn. from the HallDobb Company on a de ferred payment plan, that he had driven to Newark, N. J. in the car; Ried defaulted in making payments; and. in consequences, the Memphis firm had sworn out a Warrant chats: ing hin with driving the car out of the state without their written consent— (notwithstanding that he Kept the company advised as to his whereabouts). And he claims fur ther that when illness caused him to defauit in payments, he had written the company, asking for a new schedule of payments: ar to be al- lowed to turn the car back to the company PAID FOR CAR—CHARGE DROPPED. ‘Mr, Morrie denied that Mr. Thomas procured dismissal of the warrant. ‘This was brought about through the act of the young man’s father the Rev, Dr. Morris of Richmond, who on being apprised of his son's pre- dicament, got in touch over the long distance ‘phone with the Memphis firm and won an agreement from them that the warrant would be withdrawn and the charge dropped it the sum ot $620 was paid. The money was immediately transmitted by telegraph from Richmond to Memphis, whereupon the New York authorities were notified and Young Morris reteased on Tuesday, Decem- her 7. having been in custody since Saturday, the 4th. ‘Denying the allegation that At torney Thomas had made disburse- ments trom his own funds and that his client had not reimbursed him. young Morris exhibited photographi¢ copies of a cancelled cashier's check for $8.50, drawn to his order by the South Carolina National Bank, Col: umbia, S. C., dated December 2, 1926 and asserted that this check had been endorsed and turned over to Attorney Thomas on December 6 in payment of expenditures for, tel egraph messages and taxicab fares incurred by the lawyer, which, ac- cording to a bill later sent Mr, Mor ris totalled $6.82. A photographic reproduction of the reverse of the check showed two names as endorse ments: ‘Chas. S. Morris, Jr.” and “Jemes ©. Thomas.” FEE JUMPED $75 TO $300. ‘To the charge that he had refused to pay Mr. Thomas the legal fee for - servi¢es. Mr. Morris entered an em- phatic denial. In explanation, he , save the following version: When the case was concluded by with- drawal of the warrant and his dis- missal from custod” Morris asked ‘Thomas about the bi).

Then on December 20, came a telegram alleged to be from Attorney ‘Thomas, informing Rev. Morris that as te fee had not heen paid, suit was being entered for $200. ‘THOUGHT $75 A STIFF FEE. Young Morris returned to New York on January 10, ond states that he got in touch with Mr, Thomas on the 11th. at which time he asked to be allowed to pay the fee in in- stallments, as he was in school and not in possession of the amount of the original bill, $8182. At the same time. says Mr. Morris he sug- gested that the feo was a bit high for the actual service rendered. But the leniency asked for was de- nied him, alleges Mr. Morris, and he was scmmoned for a hearing in the 7th District Municipal Court on ‘Wednesday.

Lincoln's Birth- day the anniversary of the great emancipator marked the opening of the second of an annual series of the William E, Harmon Awards for Distinguished Achievement Among Negroes. A statement explaining the offer was issued by Dr. George B. Haynes, Secretary of the Commis- sion on the Church and Race Rela- tions of the Federal Council ‘of Churches, Who is administering the awards for the Harmon Foundation. Seven first awards of $400 with gold medals and the same number of second awards of $100 with bronze medals will be given in the fields of literature. music, fine arts, business including industry, science includ- ing invention education ‘and rell- gicus service, Both white and col- ored persons are eligible for an eighth award of $500 with a gold medal which will be given to the individual making the most distine- tive contribution during the year to the betterment of relations between the two races. As no music award was made in 1926, the fund in this field may be used this year, should the judges decide contributions mer- it such added recognition. It may be distributed by increasing the amounts of. the first and second awards or by duplicating them. . Nominations and applications will be received by Dr. Haynes at 105 EB. 22nd Street, New York until August 15th. Successful candidates will be named on or about January 1. 1928 and awards will be presented on Lincoln's Birthday, 1928. “Tt is hoped by the Harmon Foun- dation,’ said Dr. Haynes. ,‘that in bringiig public recognition to the exceptional accomplishments of col ored people, their achievement may be given a degree of distinction which has not been possible hereto fore.

All are welcome, --- This Week By Arthur, Brisbane WHO IS THE RICHEST? "TWIN" AUTOMOBILES. WHEN GABRIEL BLOWS— A FLYING OFFICE. Who is richest among the men that have piled up millions in this country? Is it Mr. Rockefeller, with billions of barrels of oil under ground—he has no idea how many—and the world's most wonderful business organization above ground? Is it Ford, with his hundred millions a year profit, gigantic plants and brain full of industrial ideas, or is it some little man, of whom nobody has heard, hatching a thought destined to be worth more than all the automobiles and all the oil? The latest idea in buying cars is the "twin car" plan. "One car to a family" is old-fashioned. You might as well say, "One pair of wings to a nest full of birds." What would the other birds do while one was flying? Unlike horses, automobiles do not eat when not working. The "twin car" idea will spread, especially in suburbs and country where the garage problem is simple. One car for the young people, another for older people. The crop of young people, produced by a population of 118,000,000 will keep calling for new cars as it reaches the license age, and will get them. Mr. Sinclair Lewis, author of several books, once from a Western pulpit challenged God to strike him dead with lightning. Divina Providence, perhaps, having more important things to attend to, ignored the challenge. Now Mr. Lewis, writing a novel to "expose" and attack clergymen, reminds you of the little boy who, "didn't say my prayers last night, ain't going to say them tonight, and then, if nothing happens, I'll never say them." Mr. Lewis's novel about the Rev. Dr. Gantry begins "Elmer Gantry was drunk." If Mr. Lewis isn't struck by lightning this time, he may conclude that Providence is afraid of him. Then, what a surprise when Gabriel's horn blows and, "Everybody get up!" rings over the earth. Professor Sauerbruch tells German doctors that forty per cent of consumptives are cured entirely and another forty per cent returned to useful work by surgical operations on the lungs, cutting out lung patches infected by tuberculosis. The idea is not new. Several years ago this writer saw such an operation performed by Dr. Carrel, the great French surgeon, at the Rockefeller Institute, in the presence of John D. Rockefeller, Jr. The operation was performed on a dog. Air under high pressure was pumped into the lungs of the dog to prevent collapse of the lung cells, which naturally would be caused by atmospheric pressure on opening the lung cavity. The operation was perfectly successful, the dog never knew what happened, felt no pain. Dr. Carrel, so far as known, has not yet decided to perform the operation on human beings. It appeared to be simple, took only two or three minutes and less than an ounce of blood was lost. Boston young women taking a course in secretarial duties wrote the Ten Commandments in the order of their importance as they saw it. Two put last "Thou shalt not kill." The majority vote put "Honor thy father and thy mother" first, an excellent selection, and, last of all, "Remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy," which is in keeping with the times. Standard Oil has bought a new all metal monoplane, with three engines doing 100 miles an hour, carrying twelve passengers. The Standard Oil airship will be a flying Standard Oil office, with typewriting machines, table and cots to be used by executives and their secretaries. That brings real American flying nearer. My Room is Vogue, Says The average home owner who previously had an alarm clock for general utility and a mantel timepiece in the parlor, is realizing that good clocks are the cheapest investment he can make. As a result, five or six clocks are now found in many homes. Some of the larger homes have ten and fifteen clocks. "Importance and attractive decorative qualities of clocks are more and more being recognized by interior decorators," declared Marian Gheen, president of the Women Interior Decorators Association of Chicago. "A clock should be an integral part of the living room, decoration for the floor shelf. There should be a floor clock in the hall, or one on a bracket in the reception room or in the dining room. The scientific home-making depot THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND' VIRGINIA Magazine Page About Your Health Things You Should I by John Joseph Gaines, M. D. Since my last letter to this paper, I have seen the announcements of at least five deaths—the victims ranging in age from 51 to 66 years, all of them business men. The cause of death in each report was given as "heart disease." What has brought about this state of affairs? What may take place in the next decade, among our business men if this goes on? The question is deserving of our most profound study. From an experience of almost thirty-five years, I am led to be lieve that the heart is one of the most durable, lasting organs of the human body; it is capable of enduring more punishment—and, undoubtedly gets it. Where? Not from intense physical effort; hearts fall in the swivel-chair—at the steering-wheel of the car. Pugilists never drop dead from heart disease—at least I never heard of one doing so; heart disease is rare among the laboring class. The greatest enemy of the heart is, the overloaded stomach—the stagnant blood-stream—the rotten artery. Keep away from these and you will have escaped nine-tenths of the terrors of death from "heart disease." It can only be done by moderate indulgence in food of the plainest variety—and, drinking plenty of pure water; commercialized drinks, let them be water or what-not, should be thoroughly investigated as to their fitness for human consumption. "The old oaken bucket that hangs in the well" supplies about the safest beverage known. Tobacco is a genuine poison,—but don't be horrified, when I say Frankfurters and kraut may kill a man quicker if over-indulged. I am loth to call the faithful Irish potato a silent assassin, but am tempted to do so sometimes. NEXT WEEK HEART DISEASE s Woman Decorator orator is sometimes amazed to find that the family timepiece has been relegated to the upper cupboard shelf and that there is no visible sign of one of the most important adjuncts to the day's work or play. There is a tendency among some classes to make home too pretty and not sufficiently comfortable. The first and last analysis of homemaking is comfort. We think cheer and distinction must also be established, but comfort comes first. Therefore, clocks are one of the most essential requisites in a well-furnished home. "Practically every move we make is guided by time. We consult clocks innumerable times daily. It, therefore, follows that the kinds of timepieces we own are in a large measure an index to the efficiency and accomplishments of their owners." Two New Frocks for Spring Designed by Lucile of Paris LUCILE'S STYLE SALON IN PARIS Fashion connoisseurs from fifty nations gather here each season to view the celebrated designer's latest creations as they are shown by mannequins on the stage. VERMILION CHIFFON SEX-BLUE FAILLE DOUGLAS HAINS AND WILD TIMBER WOLF HOOTCH, SON OF "MOUNTIE" "MOUNTIE" PARIS — "Great is vermilion splashed with gold," sang Kipling. Lucile, the celebrated Parisian routiere, reading the immortal line, agreed with Kipling so enthusiastically that she promptly involved a vermilion and gold afternoon frock for brunettes. From the tightly fitting yoke which outlines the shoulders, she contrived virils of vermilion chiffon, which air in charming motion as the earer moves. Gold metallic catching joins the yoke and blouses and marks the clusters of tush Training Timba DOUGLAS HAIRS AND WILD TIMBER WOLF Most of the best huskies used in the Eastern International Dog-Sled Derby, Quebec, are crosses between huskie dogs and wild timber wolves. The actual wild timber wolf is very difficult to train. but Douglas Hains, of the Canadian Pacific and Arthur Beauvais, driver of the Chateau Frontenac dog team, have been trying to get three of these timber wolves demesticated sufficiently to warrant their use with huskie dogs as their teammates. Neither of these experts is sanguine that the experiment will work out successfully. and of course the wolves will not be used unless they lose their ner- which lend fullness to the skirt. A dull bronze gold belt and bands about the cuffs complete the exotic affliction of the frock. But— "No gown can rise above the level of its accessories." Lucille assures. "There should be slippers or vampilion kid to wear with the frock. And this is important—the hosiery should bring to the ankles the flesh tint of the face and hands. Yvonne, the very pale rose-beige chiffon which I created for the Holoproof hosiery company and intended especially for American women, is perfect. Flush tones in stockings are best artificially as I desire that my hosiery per Wolves for A Dog- vousness and become accustomed The three timber wolves were caught by Arthur Beauvais in Ontario, north of Lake Superior, when they were tiny pups, and they are now about half grown. All three were shown at the Boston Sportsman's Show and one permitted Hans to handle him freely, with gloves, and did his best to look pleasant for photographers. The animal showed no disposition to bite or create other trouble. "Mountie", the lead, dog of the Chateau Frontenac dog team, is part wolf and the wolf strain shows in his handsome head, snarp ears bloom to the skies. That the springtime needs of the blonde for the tea hour be not slighted, Lucile designed a companion frock in the new mood of 1927. Sea-blue skull fille, with a silver sheen that is emphasized by silver filgree buttons, paleest gray chiffon and touches of ermine are bleached into an ensemble of pliant loveliness. With this cappes are prescribed blue kid slippers and Lucile's Fleur de Lis hose, created for Hesperol hosiery, a pinkish ivory shade harmonizing with the coloring of the year blonde women. -Sled Team HOOTCH, SON OF "MOUNTIE" "MOUNTIE" and nose, and gleaming slit eyes. For five years he was lead dog for the Royal Northwest Mounted Police, and displayed wonderful intelligence and sagacity. Although he is eleven years old, and has done his best work, he resents being left off the Chateau Frontenac team, when the dogs burn out for visitors, on Duffin Terrace, and in his wise old dog way he tells Arthur Beauvais as plainly as a dog can that "there's life in the old dog yet," possibly because his frivolous son Hootch on the team is full of "pep" and is always warging a tail and smiling a cup smile when Beauvais cries "Musn!" ```markdown ``` SOME WOMEN HAVE THE FIRST DOLLAR THEIR HUSBANDS EVER EARNED.
