VOLUME XLIV. NO. NO. 46 GRUES Child Two Babes Sough Octavia Elliott Epps, wife of William Epps, residing at 2109 East Franklin Street, was found murdered Monday morning, 12th instant, in her room. Her husband had disappeared. She had three gashes, made by an axe, in her head. Neighbors say they heard the couple quarrelling Sunday night. The unfortunate woman was the mother of two children, one being about thirteen months old and the other only about three weeks old. The body lay upon the "cooling board" in Funeral Director Robert C. Scott's morgue since September 15th. She did not die until that time, being removed to St. Philip's Hospital. She did not regain consciousness. The sudden disappearance of her husband left the impression that he was responsible for her death. The murdered woman was born June 12, 1911, being only about 16 years of age. Her father's name is John Elliott and her mother's name is Ella Johnson Elliott. They reside at Natural Bridge, Va., from which place the unfortunate woman came. A peculiar story is told about the affair. Her people say she was led away from home two years ago by this man William Epps, who is supposed to have married her. She has a sister here living at 2405 Carrington Street. The body was shipped by the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad to Natural Bridge Wednesday night at 11:30 o'clock. The authorities are on a lookout for William Epps and should he be apprehended must stand trial for murder. The axe is in the possession of the police and is a mute witness to the horrible crime, the exact nature of which is forever sealed on the lips of the dead child-wife. The children could not have known what happened inside three death-dealing wounds in the head of his unfortunate victim. BIG BAPTIZING AT FOUNTAIN BAPTIST CHURCH.

SHEPHERDS HOLD GREAT MEETING IN NEWP'T NEWS A Grand Parade Mrs. Ora B. Stokes Presides Secretary A. C. Clark Makes Fine Report. (By Roger J. Kyles) Newport News, Va. September 13, 1927. The seventeenth annual session of the Improved Order Shepherds and Daughters of Bethlehem convened at the First Baptist Church, Newport News, Va. Called to order by the Grand Presiding Shepherd, Mrs. Ora Brown Stokes. After some preliminary remarks, the Grand Presiding Shepherd appointed the following Committee on Credentials: Amos C. Clark, Kulah Cunningham, James Kyle and Fannie B. Taulton. Devotional exercises were conducted by the Grand Chaplain, assisted by Revs. Daly and Payne. While the Committee on Credentials were out, the time was spent by the delegation in song and expressions. Prof. Lee Explains Prof. J. S. Lee told the work of the Grand Presiding Shepherd in defending the cause of the organization before the Insurance Department of the State of Pennsylvania. He told how she ably represented the cause, which gave the Order the right to continue business in Pennsylvania. The Committee on Credentials reported as follows: ported as follows: Folds represented by delegates..... 82 Folds represented by letter..... 21 Total..... 103 Number of delegates..... 119 Dr. S. A. Thomas, general chairman, and Mr. R. J. Kyles, chairman of the Housing Committee, were presented to the body and made some remarks. Sang "Blest Be the Tie That Binds" and adjourned until 3 P. M. AFTERNOON SESSION. Called to order by the Grand Presiding Shepherd. Devotional exercises conducted by the Grand Chaplain, assisted by Revs. Allen and Garfield. The Grand Vice-Presiding Officer took the chair and spoke of the great worth of the Grand Presiding Shepherd to the Order, stating that he did not believe she had an equal in the State, being earnest in her purpose and determined in her will. He then presented her to the delegation for the purpose of delivering her report. The Grand Presiding Shepherd thanked the Grand Vice for his complimentary remarks. Many. Difficulties. In her report she called attention to the difficulties that this organization had to contend with, stating that immediately after the last grand session trouble arose in Pennsylvania, and the continuance of the work in that State was threatened. She told of the steps taken which resulted in the organization being permitted to continue business in Pennsylvania. She spoke of campaign for new members in various portions of its territory which resulted in additional additions to the membership. She paid especial tribute to her deputies, whom she said had on whole done very good work during the year. She spoke of the Uniform Department and told of the excellent showing it made the first Sunday in June when it had its first sermon preached at the Sixth Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Richmond, Va. She also told of the prestige that the band had made for the Order and the impression it makes wherever it goes, and felt that a substantial donation ought to be made to help pay for the instruments purchased, which is the property of the Order and not of any individual. The Juvenile Department. In speaking of the Juvenile Department, she stated that some of the lodges had not attached the proper degree of importance to that department, and that for a Fold to be alive, it should have connected with it a Juvenile Fold. Her report also dealt with the needs for headquarters and stated that before many months we will be able to notify the organization of the purchase of suitable headquarters. The Grand Presiding Shepherd dwelt at length on the subject of lapsation and urged that the secretaries do all within their power to prevent lapses. Said she, "Remember that the expiration of two months in the payment of dues that lapsation does not occur until after the meeting in the third month, and if a member pays anything at all, even if it is only one month, he retains his membership until the next meeting. She urged that the secretaries of local Folds should try to keep their members on the inside by collecting their dues from them and bringing them to the meetings, where it is inconvenient for the members to attend and bring it, and compensation should be allowed a collector for this work. The Lines of Progress She stated further that in order for an organization to be listed among the forward thinking organizations, it must do something other than taking care of the sick and burying the dead. She told of the possibilities of the organization meeting the issue with no expense to the Order, but would give them greater prestige. The Grand Presiding Shepherd told of her travels, and stated that her recent visit to New York and New Jersey had convinced her that they are splendid fields in which to push our work. The report showed that more than 3,000 new members had been added to the ranks, 465 being secured by herself. She spoke of the Welfare Department as being necessary to protect our aged members and orphan children. Said she, "The orphan and neglected child must be cared for. Not only our children, but the children of other races, must be kept from the jails and penitentiaries. She plainly showed the possibilities of the Welfare Department. Rev. Daly, Mrs. Wynn and Mrs. Susie Robinson spoke on the report, and on motion of Mr. Hines, the report of the Grand Shepherd was received and adopted and placed in the hand of the proper committee. Rules Suspended. Rev. Cobbs at this point moved that the rules be suspended and the Grand Shepherd be elected for a term of four years today instead of the last day. The Grand Presiding Shepherd thanked the members for their vote of confidence. Mrs. Yancey spoke of her friendship and good will towards the Presiding Shepherd and urged those who have professed friendship for her to stick by her. Mrs. Morgan also spoke along the same lines.

He also says: "There have been countless women in my life. They have participated in my triumphs, and suffered with me in my moments of disappointment. They have caused me joy and they have heaped misery upon me. They have been faithful to the utmost and they have been faithless. They have praised and loved me and they have hated and denounced me." Jack Johnson then tells of his colored wives and later says: "The next woman who came into my life was Hattie McLay, a New York girl.

These doctors advised me to be operated on, as that was the only chance for me. I was advised to go and get some of L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicine and try before being operated on. I did so, and in twenty-four hours after using his medicines, I passed at least a half dozen gravel, some as big as a large pea. Since that time I have not suffered with the gravel. I highly recommend L. J. Hayden's medicine to all suffering humanity. I am, J. A. PAGE, Auburn Ave., Richmond, Va. IMPROVEMENT NOTED AT ONCE Mr. L. J.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1927 Going up is hard work. Coming down is easy. Some people do not seem to know this. SEES eet ‘ You can grumble all you please but this world is wicked and it is get- ting more wicked every day. White folks are all right when you Know them, but you've “got to know them first.” Business is good in some sections o° the country and “rotten” in most c* the other sections of this great gov- ernment of ours. . Parts of the bodies of married wom- en, which were shown only to thei husbands in the privacy of their bed rooms, may now be seen by anybed on the streets of the city without th asking. ‘A white woman is suing a hospita for giving her the wrong baby at a hospital, where she was confined. They told her it was a boy and sh finds that she has a girl on her hands. It is great to be a boy when you are born. Ce a aad, ‘A QUESTION OF CANDIDATES. Hon. William G. McAdoo, son-in- law of the late Hon. Woodrow Wilson, has, in an extended deliverance de- clined to be @ candidate for the nomi- nation of President of the United States upon thé Democratic ticket. ‘This attitude on his part is looked upon from two angles. One is that he sees the hopelessness of the strug- gle for the same honor in a contest with Governor Alfred H. Smith, of New York, and from another as a‘bid for the distinguished Governor of New York State to do the same thin in order to promote harmony within the ranks of the Democratic Party. ‘The two statesmen represent in- terests diametrically opposed to each other. Governor Smith is a pro- nounced “wet”, and Mr. McAdoo is a pronounced “dry.” They disagre’ too, upon other great issues confront- ing the country. Governor Smith is a Roman Catholic, and as such is op- posed by the Ku Klux Klan. The situation is interesting and it seems to foreshadow the election of a Re- publican for President. It seems a foregone conclusion that unless Gov- ernor Smith, of New York, sees fi to eliminate himself as candidate for President, the split in the Democratic Party will be disastrous. ‘The Republican Party is also hav- ing its troubles. ‘The Lowden boom is assuming widespread and alarming proportions and it is “on the cards” that the administration does not favor this distinguished Ilinoisan. — Vice- President Charles G. Dawes is said to be a personal friend of ex-Gov- ernor Frank G. Lowden. The Hoover boom is looked upon with favor. Ir the meantime, the familiar form and features of Hon. Charles G. Hughe: appear upon the horizon. He is um. questionably the ablest and the bes individual as yet mentioned. He mild ly protests that he is too old to rur for President, but his admirers re mark that he does not say that he i too old to serve as President. ‘A man of his kind and calibr would make an ideal President. W regard him as the ablest statesmar now before the American people. H is the only man mentioned, who coul neutralize and probably eliminate th “AY” Smith majority in New Yori State. Still, we shall see what w shall see. We wonder if the Reput tican leaders will be far-seeing enoug! to draft him for service in the nex campaign for President of the Unite States? Some people make efforts to help omer people. That is what our patrons do when they pay us what js dug us. HAVING passed satisfactorily the recent Virginia Bar Examination, the undersigned takes this method of an- nouncing to his friends and the general public the opening of an office at 801 Mechanics Bank Building for the Gen- eral Practice of Law. LORENZO ¢. WHITE Radio Night ing big sports and news events. Qutstrip Former Shows. The 1927 show promises to far out- strip its two predecessors in size, character of exhibits and entertain- ment features. There will be attrac- tions for men and women, young and old, and children. In addition, the show has been extended one day in order that the colored people of Rich- mond may have an opportunity to visit it. The fifth ae closing day has been set aside for them. Finishing touches on preliminary details were added yesterday at a meeting of all the chairmen of the dealers’ committees and representa- tives of The News Leader. Booths are being constructed and decorations placed in the big build- ing formerly occupied by the Used Car Exchange, Meadow Street, near Broad, This work is being pressed in order that every detail will be com- plete when the doors are thrown open to the public. Daily Prize Awards. Apart from expensive and com- plete entertainment features, public interest is expected to be heightened by the daily award of prizes, valued in an aggregate at more than $1,000. Nesr'y all of the exhibitors have agreed to contribute the prizes, which will be given away. Each will per- tain to radio, and most of them doubtless will be eagerly sought by all spectators. They will include re- ceiving sets, loud-speakers and other equipment. L. H. Hoffman, chairman of the publicity committee, said today that the following firms already have agreed to donate prizes, principally receivers: : Dabney & Bugg, Hoffman & Good- man, Howell Brothers, the Halladay Company, The Kaufman Store, Price Brothers, Tower-Binford. Others are expected to swell the list Mr, Hoffman stated that local deal- ers are reporting the arrival of new ‘model receivers and the latest thing in equipment. Scores of different kinds of sets will be on display. This year's show is expected to eclipse that ‘of 1926 because the Used Car Ex- change quarters. offers far more space. oma A rr (Continued from page 1) nesday morning, September 14, 1927.

Old Silver Tip the Big Game Price in British Columbia OLD SILVER TIP PARDEN SHEEP URSUS HORRIBILIS, HIMSELF HUNTERS AND TROPHIES ```markdown ``` This Week By Arthur Brisbane WHO WILL BE THE MAN? THE VANISHING BOB. PROGRESS AND SACRIFICE. BREWERY STOCK. Now is the time to pick your candidate, with President Colidge not choosing," which means that he does not intend to be a candidate. Hoover, Mellon, Hughes, Lowden or a dark horse, who will it be? Charles Evans Hughes is back from Europe, with "nothing to say to reporters," a dangerous sign with a national convention near. Mr. Hughes never said, "I am too old to be President," that would be preposterous, from one of the most hard working men in public life. He did say, "I am too old TO RUN for President." Secretary Mellon is back from Europe, also "with nothing to say to reporters." Secretary Mellon was walking up Park avenue in New York City last weeks, looking about half his age and going at a rate that would have taken him from his desk in the Treasury building to the front door of the White House in considerably less than a minute and a half. The Smithsonian Institution will have a weather station in south-west Africa. There, high up in the air, in the dry, clear atmosphere, science will study the sun, calculate solar radiation, and, if hopes are realized, predict weather as much as a week or a month, and even one year, in advances. It has taken a long while cold out that what they have and what happens to them depends largely on the big star that lights their sort lives. Old Silver Tip the URSUS HORRIBILIS MINSELF HUNTERS AND TROPHIES The Carboir district of British Columbia, according to E. S. Knight, of Ashcroft, B. C. whose guides coam this region with hunters, is the favorite haunt of "Old Silver Tip." the grizzly, one of the most sought and most feared big game animals. Grizzles, black and brown bear cartoon, goats and smaller animals are plentiful in this region, out the fierce and fighting grizzly is the chief prize desired by the hunter. Many of the British Columbia grizzlies weigh nearly half a ton, and when a wound one charges a sporting plenty of excitement "Pick out your trooper you shoot." is a good trooper. A charges in iny as a nobleman, was arrested recently accused of harrying fifty women and getting a million dollars in money and jewelry from them. There is nothing to be said about that except that it is in the nature of a woman to trust men, unfortunately for women. "Darla is coming back," says a professor of physiology, even "puff girls" and the "shingle" will pass. Common sense is with the bob. Romance with the puffed ear. You could not imagine Martha Washington with a bob. No great thing is achieved without sacrifice. Those distressed by loss of life in flying may remember that the total number of deaths in trans-Athletic flying is smaller than the number killed automobiling on any fine Sunday: The thing is to keep on and conquer. L. V. Miller, of Toronto, left brewery stock to seven Methodist ministers and Ontario Jockey Club shares to opponents of race track gambling. At the end of nine years, the proceeds of his estate go to the parents of the largest family born in the province during that time. Methodist ministers, to get the $75,000 brewery stock, must draw the dividends and vote on the company's management "to see whether their availance for money was greater than their principles." The ministers, of course, will do what is necessary to collect the money, and use it for prohibition propaganda, thus thwarting Satan. Leaving your money to the biggest family is dull. The money would beat any human being, the shad would beat a monkey, the female oyster, the female millions of youngsters each year would make the shad look like birth control. Leaving money to poor parents that take the best care of their children might be a good idea. But money lack for benevolent purposes—excepting science and education—is usually wasted. The work you do while you live counts; there's no knowing what your money may do after you. Great Britain intends to protect ignorant investors against get-rich-quick stock salesmen and other schemers. Peddling stocks from door to door is to be stopped, selling stocks through the mail restricted and watched. The oil real estate, and mining schemes that rob investors in the oil industry would not be possible in Great Britain. Big Game Prize in L FARM SHEEP grizzly of art which is supposed to charge walking like a man. A male grizzly unwounded will get away if he can a female with joints will charge a hunter if she gets his scent. All in all the grizzly is a big game animal worthy of the best efforts of late darting sportman.

There are many guides in British Columbia including E S Knight of Ashercraft; Fred Mansell of North Vancouver who shot an 11-foot grizzly; Kibbe and Reed Thompson Bros. D. Cochran and Joseph Wendle Barkersville B C. and Gough v. Allen Likely B Q. These and others are known to A O Seymour Canadian Pacific Montreal. The Indian guides have a great respect to the grizzly.

Urged for School Boys and Girls THE FAMILY OF THE BROOKLYN CITY OF NEW YORK Canada is still the finest big game area in North America. Moose deer and caribou still abound in the provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia—the latter two offering mountain sheep, mountain goats and grizzly bears for good measure, but caribou may not be shot in Nova Scotia or New Brunswick. Early reports from veteran guides in all these provinces indicate that game will be more plentiful this year than for many seasons past. Nova Scotia, fascinating country of Longtown Acadia, has in South Fourth Meal at 4 P HEALTHY ON FOUR MEALS A DAY CHICAGO—"Fourth Ideal At Four" is the slogan of moths throughout the middle west and is rapidly becoming national, according to Henry Stude, president of the American Bakers Association, who annual convention takes place here September 29-29. "Health rules for the modern child demand many hours of exercise and play," said Mr. Stude. "But play to the child amounts to actual work and work means the up use of energy. "The operation of the human body is much like that of a steam engine. When the fuel supply gets low through lack of food, the body, instead of stopping as an engine would, draws on its own body tissues to supply fuel. "The child uses up this body tissue much faster than the grown-up with the result that a repeated call on the emergency supply results in anaemic, nourished and underweight children. The long hours between such an hour and a dinner at six detrimental to the child unless some time during this interim food is forished to replenish the used u-energy. The mothers of the children have learned that if a child is not well fed, it is not of actual use. Children who have learned that they are not well fed will not be able to learn the right to eat. BIG GRIzzLY, BISHIP COLUMBIA Milford its most famous "jumping-off" place to the hunting district bordering Lake Rodgenakooge, and Lake Rossignol. These lake regions are the haunt of the finest specimens of moose, deer and black bear. In New Brunswick, the hunter has thousands of square miles of big game country. From Plaster Rock, on the Canadian Pacific Railway, there is easy access to the wild life areas of the Tobique, Neptisquit and Upsaquit Rivers. Other noted game districts border the Miramar. Gaspareaux. Serpentine grouse rivers. P. M. Urged for School BREAK-FAST 4TH MEAL IN FOUR DINNER 亦 Quebec, with its 700,000 square miles, its enormous game resources and favorable water routes, is a most attractive prospect for the sportsman. Moose, deer and black bear abound in the districts of Lake St. John, Kipawa Lake, Upper Gatineau River, Lake Mistassin, Lake Megantic and Champion Gene Tunney resisted last spring. Noted "going-in" places to this hunter's paradise are at Labelle, Nominingue and St. Jovite. Similar attractions are found in the province of Ontario, whose 407,000 square miles are heavily wooded and plentifully stocked with wildlife. Attractive regions here include Georgian Bay, French River, Lake Terniskamming, Metagama, ignace and Nipigon. Alberta has a great plenty of moose, marmots, mountain deer, moose, grizzlies caribou and a variety of small game, all of which can be conveniently reached from such noted "jumping-off" places as Banff, Calgary, Edmonton and High River. British Columbia's Cariboo and Ossair districts offer the very biggest of big game in the Canadian Rockies. From Anchorage, B. C., the hunter enters the Cariboo Country where, with other big game, are found the great shaggy grinders whose very ferocity lures the ambitious and daring sportman. From Field, Kamlope, Revelstoke and Stamous great numbers of shaggy go every season in which the rookies are bound. ool Boys and Girls NEW YORK PRICE POPULATION AMERICA PLEASE READ THE TEXT BELOW FOR THE QUESTION.

A, the War Cam- munity Service, the Library, Loan dives, etc.' This Volume tells the world how the Negro has won his place and his right to a voice in the affairs of mankind against prejudice, ridicule, race hatred, and many insurmountable obstacles. Many striking testimonies from the Secretary of War and Army Officers of high rank and reputation are set forth in no uncertain terms. The following ringing words of Major General Bell, addressed to the famous "Buffaloes," the 367th Regiment, are typical of the high regard and respect of American and European officers for our colored troops. Every private in this regiment and most of the officers were Negroes. The General said:— "This is the best disciplined and best drilled and best spirited regiment that has been under my command at this cantonment. I predicted last fall that Colonel Moss would have the best regiment stationed here and you men have made my predation come true.

The loyalty and patriotism 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.
