I secured admission to the Richmond city jail, where Ruby Brown, charged with the murder of Harry Brown, is confined. Ascending the iron stairway, a word to the competent white matron resulted in the admission of this comely woman into the room there for a conference. She seemed to be in good spirits and is anxious to be at liberty once more. It is only when the happenings of that fatal early morning tragedy are braached that she says that she is nervous and cannot talk more. She stated though that she called assist once to 408 East Duval Street after Harry Brown, to whom she had not been married, but whom she had known for four years, had been fatally stabbed. Her father's name, she says, was John Wesley Brown, instead of John Wesley, as I had been told it was. She also stated that she had been married twice and that her first husband was dead. She could not remember his name. Efforts are being made by her mother and friends to employ counsel for her and two Richmond attorneys are mentioned in this connection. She had known J. H. Robinson for some time. She said she could produce witnesses to prove that she had been badly beaten by Harry Brown many times before. The murdered man also hails from Farmville, Va., and he has a relative residing at 207 East Duval Street. Mr. Reginald Smith, son of Prof. William B. Smith, arrived in the city, Sunday night, from St. Emma's Institute, Rock Castle. He is enroute to White Sulphur Springs, where he will be employed during the summer months. You can be waited upon either alive or dead by Funeral Director C. P. Hayes, phone Madison 2778, and either you or your friends will be satisfied at the treatment you will receive. When it comes to a tonsorial shave, shampoo, hair trim or hair bobbing, you have only to stop at 18 East Clay Street, where either Prof. Wm. B. Smith or one of his expert barbers will serve you. You know the prices, so further talk is unnecessary. You can get either day or night service, all equally prompt, and the quality of the goods and the nature of the service will cause you to smile and be happy even through your tears. Young Price is always going and his competent mother is always coming to please and serve you. Mayor J. Full Wins th Colored Folks F Appeal of Pro crats--Outlo Regulars By Earle Lutz Democratic voters in the mayor- alty election here yesterday rallied to the urgent plea of party leaders and swept Mayor John Fulmer Bright back into office by a decisive margin over George Ainslie, whose name was written or stamped on the hallots in spite of his positive declaration that he would not accept if elected. The vote was 9,582 to 1,656. For the first time in two generations a Democratic nominee drew fire in the mayoralty election. Without leadership, a stubborn drive was made to elect Ainslie, who ran second in the three-cornered primary in April. Because of the unauthorized contest, a total of 11,238 votes were counted making a record for a general municipal election in Richmond. Approximately 150 votes Judge W. Kirk Mathews Metes Punishment--Commonwealth's Att'y Dave E. Satterfield Asks Questions but Says Nothing--Wounded Man Object of Pity--Had Sinned Deeply. (Special by John Mitchell, Jr.) A most remarkable scene was enacted Friday morning, June 8, 1928, when Michael Lewis, who hails from New York City was on trial in the Hustings Court of this city, with Judge W. Kirk Mathews presiding, upon two charges of burglary. This is the pen picture. On the bench sat a clean faced jurist, his regular contour, massive head, stern but handsome features, piercing eyes riveted upon the slender-built bright-skinned prisoner, who had a slight excuse for a moustache and who gazed vainly into those stern eyes and unpleasant countenance with hope that at sometime and somehow, he might detect a glimmer of sympathy, which might show that he would receive at least a little of the mercy for which he pleaded. Had No Counsel Michael Lewis had no counsel. He had decided to waive jury trial and be tried by the judge, himself. He was charged with a capital of offense. There were two indictments on Clerk Walter Christian's desk, to which charges he pleaded guilty and upon which plea, he threw himself upon the mercy, of the court. On a table were two revolvers. One of them belonged to Lewis. It was a massive affair, being a Colt automatic, 45 calibre, large enough to kill a bear. The other appeared to be an army Colt. It was owned by Suhor, the white man, who had shot Michael Lewis as he chased him, after he had attempted to ef- (Continued on page 4) Amer Bright the Mayoralty.

Elect Without Opposition Six members of the Board of Aldermen and twenty members of the Common Council were elected without opposition, although a few scattering names were written on the ballots in some precincts. The whole fight was aimed at Mayor Bright in whose behalf State and city leaders for the past ten days had worked energetically to stem the undercover opposition that had been gaining momentum until exposed by publicity. The election in spite of the interest, passed off quietly. There was no disorder at the polls in spite of the watchers from both camps. The Bright forces were augmented by scores of city employees who (Continued on page 4.

QUARLES HONORED In recognition of his faithful services to the Charitable Union, for the past 27 years, Rev. F. W. Quarles, Manager, was the honor guest at an entertainment at the residence of Mrs. Mary Robinson, 518 St. James Street, given under the aupices of the officials of the Charitable Union. Mrs. Robinson stated the object of the meeting and extended a glowing welcome to the many friends and visitors. The remarks by Mrs. Joseph Loving were enjoyed by all, as well as the expressions of others present. The menu consisted of ham sandwiches, cold tea, ice cream and cake in abundance. Rev. Quarles was asked to come forward and was presented with a purse as an evidence of love and esteem. The following committee handled this grand affair: Mrs. Mary Robinson, Joseph Loving, Mrs. Lue Twine and George Johnson. Rev. Quarles was at a loss for words to express himself. He said, "Mistress of this occasion, it is impossible for me to measure up to all that has been said. I have the greatest respect for those who have set before us all the sign of the iron oak." He then told of a vision in his early life and how it came to be one solid oak, much to the amusement and delight of his hearers. The Second Baptist Church officials are awaiting a reply to the call extended to Rev. Joseph T. Hill, D. D., of Hot Springs, Ark. The indications are that he will accept. It was certainly loud enough for him to both hear it and accept it. Grocer Edward Stewart is a fixity in his section. He covers Richmond in service to his customers.

The services in commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the Eben ezer Baptist Church, began Sunday, June 10, 1923 at 11:15 A. M. The rostrum was beautifully decorated with ferns, palms and cut flowers. The side windows were also beautiful. Three drawings of the church furnished by Architect Charles T. Russell were hung across the pipes of the organ and could be seen from any and all parts of the spacious auditorium. The first drawing, an imaginary picture drawn from a description given by some of the members, was dated 1858; the next being a remodelled structure of 1873 and the last the present structure dated 1911. me.

Branch chairman of the general committee and he in turn introduced Prof. Charles T. Russell, chairman of the program committee, who made a historical statement concerning the church. It was brought out that the original walls and original windows, so far as the present structure is concerned still exist and the church occupies the original 60 feet of ground. In plain language, the same structure of 70 years ago is hidden under the embellishments of the present day improvements. The choir under the leadership of Leader Walter D. Jones sang and rendered specially prepared songs. REV. CARTER AND THE SCRIPTIRES. rev. J. J. Carter read respon- sively with the congregation Ro- mans 12th chapter, after Clerk Robert H.

Reid's text was from Ephesus 5:27. "That He might present it to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish". What do men think of the Christian church today? What place does it hold in modern society? What does it mean to men and what is their attitude towards the church? The church has a glorious orig'n.

Most women learn is that the important score of beauty is harmony and she can only achieve this by being herself.

"It is the sheep-like instinct to look after each other instead of taking into account their own personalities that quashes the efforts of love to be attractive," he wrote in an article written for the June issue of Smart New magazine. Almost any woman, unless she is downright ugly, can be more attractive if she will only be herself, he says. But usually she won't she insists upon following every change in styles, whether or not it is suited to her type. She bobs her hair when bows are popular, although she may appear to better advantage with long hair. She diets for a fashionable silhouette, although it makes her angular. She wears short skirts when she has low legs or knobby knees, because they are being worn. She adopts colors that conflict with her complexion because they are the season's vogue. "The short girl dons high heels and totters around awkwardly," White continues. "The tall girl adopts flats; the girl with a large mouth puts on a microscopic cupid's bow in a screaming red, and the girl with thick brows uses the sweezers until she looks like an Oriental. The pale girl sneers on red; the fluid girl gives herself a coat of white. And the result is usually so inartificial that she serves to attract attention to the scene."

Reid AUTOCASTER KANSAS CITY·1928 SENATOR MOSES REED SMOOT SIMEON D FESS Farmer Becomes Pampered Pet of Broadcasters; Everybody Now Aims at "Farm Relief" by Radio -AND I WAS JUST GETTING SET FOR THE EVENING! The farmer without a radio will have difficulty in keeping abreast of his fellow agriculturists this summer, on the opinion of Mores Salisbury, chief of the radio service of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Everybody's aiming to please and help the farmer with a receiving set. For while Congress is still undered as to ways and means for "farm relief," Salisbury and his assistants have been working to improve and extend radio services to the American farm along lines that will enable farmers to "cash in" on their labor through more efficient management, increased production, proper handling and grading of products and more effective marketing. The result is the most competitive and carefully planned program of agricultural assistance ever undertaken by Uncle Sam. The government's program, presupposes that every up-to-date farm is equipped with radio, just as it is equipped with modern planting, cultivating and harvesting machinery. "The scope of radio assistance to the farmer is being broadened." Salisbury explains, "along lines requested by the farmers themselves, will cover, in programs to be broadcast this summer, the only information of farmers' value and importance but regional and seasonal information and a general background of farm information and advice of lasting benefit. "When agricultural broadcasting first started, it was believed the value of radio to the farmer lay chiefly in the dissemination of 'good' informa- DUNKEL AUTOCASTER MORSE H. SALISBURY CMP. Radio Section, U.S. Dept. Agriculture tion, such as weather and market reports. "Experience has shown, however, that while these are of unquestioned value, returning dividends in actual dollars and cents, they meet but one phase of the farmers' radio needs. "Seasonal problems, dealing with seeding, cultivation, harvesting, marketing, the eradication of pests, etc. can be dealt with very effectively by radio. The discussion. At these seasonal questions is to be put on a regional basis, so that the programs of any given area will deal specifically with the products of that area. In addition to spot broadcasts and timely regional and seasonal programs, Salisbury promises a series of radio discussions dealing in a constructive way with practical farming in its broader, long-range problems Farm methods that have produced dividends or losses, accumulated by the Bureau of Agricultural Economics, will be discussed in simple and effective form through the Radio Farm School. Supplementing the programs provided by the government, this summer also will find on the air a much greater number of programs provided by independent sources that will benefit the farm family culturally as well as economically. Programs such as are provided by the opera and concert stars of the Atwater Keat Hour, the entertainment and instructive features sponsored by a score or more of national organizations over various networks, all serve to broaden the farm horizon and to put the farm family in touch, as never before, with world interests and world affairs. Discussion of political affairs by radio this summer will keep the farmer informed on who's who and what's what in the national campaign. Anyway, the use of the air is being directed more toward the farmer. The farmer with a radio, who makes the best of his opportunities, will find the air full of helpful advice and instruction that can be coined into real dollars. The farmer without a radio will hell probably have to continue waiting for Congress to provide "farm relief." By Dunkel The above Records on sale at Bailey Furniture Co., 1406 E.

P M In Boudoirland WITH Natalie Thurston MAKING FAT FACES, THIN No imperfect forty-six ever regained her school girl sinless by pushing her rabbits foot across her cheeks. But, more than one round-face girl has successfully cosmetized an aspect of slenderness into her chub cheeks by correctly using her powder puff and brush her lip. lip stock eyebrow pencil and all the rest. Any of you women who "look" fat can go a long way towards reducing your heavy "looks" by remembering that the trick of "looking" thin lines in creating vertical lines in your face. Try these few boudou hints: First, with regard to your coiffure You will find you can give your round face an almost oval aspect by arranging your hair to emphasize your forehead and minimize your well-ear, an-cheek. Wear it entirely, part it, and coiff it so that the part makes a definite break in your hair-line. Also, be careful to wave your side-pieces about your face so as to conceal the ear-part of your cheeks. Second, there is the matter of make-up. In a previous article I have explained how applying rouge in triangular areas, high and well back on your cheeks, will slenderize a full face. Third, the lips. There is nothing more facially fattening than a broad mouth. Hence, the importance of making up only the center, being careful to emphasize your cupid's bow and your point-ulip. Fourth, the eyes. Shadow the eyelids with elongated triangles of brown or blue eye cream (according to the color of your eyes), and outline with mascara. Bailey Furni W. A.

PROMPT SERVICE IN CITY Political Convention Varied Sum "There will be a great many radio listeners this summer who will forsake their tennis, their golf and their garden for the radio," says William D. Terrell, Chief of the Radio Division, U. S. Department of Commerce. "The political conventions and the many political events of radio interest, in addition to the baseball and other radio attractions of the summer months." Formerly, radio was thought of only in connection with cold weather. The extension of broadcasting, the improvement in programs and the adention of the A. C. receiving set will, it is expected, keep radio sets in use this summer to a much greater degree ever before in the summer months. To the a. C. or house current set, is attributed much of the credit for the sustained interest in radio in cities and towns where house current kets can be operated. Many farm homes, however, are now equipped with electric current but farmers who still have to use battery sets are said to be showing a year round interest in radio reception because of the good things they are receiving over the air. Formerly, the farmer got only weather and market reports; now, he hears a variety of programs specially prepared for his entertainment and instruction. "The farmer is being supplied with more material this summer than ever before." Morse Salisbury, in charge of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, says. "And radio stations are not slacking off for the summer months at all. They protest against the idea that radio is not a year-round source of information and environment. We are continuing to supply cooperating stations, which now number 135. So the farmer has his supply of information by radio coming in just the same—more variety this summer than ever before." Reports from the radio industry itself would seem to confirm these views. Usually, radio manufacturing plants are shut down in March, since distributors find the demand for receiving sets so high that factory orders in Spring and Summer. This year, however, the HERE IS BIG THRE WM.D. TERRELL H.G.E. Atwater Kent plant, largest of the radio manufacturing companies, is still busy turning out receiving sets and speakers and had to increase production 500 sets a day over what Mr. Kent had estimated would be sufficient. The factory is turning out over 1,250 sets and speakers a day at a time when, ordinarily, the radio manufacturing company has only this. This factory turned out over 20,000 receiving sets and speakers in the first four months of 1928. This is six times as many sets as the big paint ever turned out before in the same period of any previous year. Mr. Kent will produce his second millionth set this Fall. That Atwater Kent, conservative manufacturer, believes the public demand may tax the facilities of his 15% here factory at Germany. This is a stultifying new machinery and taking advantage of every spare foot in his factory to add to his production. “90h eS eee . oS eee 4 SOARS F ne .

JUNE 16, 1928 THE PASSING OF TIMOTHY THOMAS FORTUNE The death of Timothy Thomas Fortune, Saturday night, June 2, 1928, at the home of his son, Dr. Frederick W. Fortune, in’ Philadel- phia, Pa., “rings down the curtain” upon one of the greatest characters ‘Afro-American journalism has ever produced. In fact, Mr. Fortune, if we mis- take not coined the expression “Afro-American”. We were trained in journalism under him. He was accorded recognition by the New York Sun of a kind and character never enjoyed before or since by any of our group. Fortune was a stead-fast friend and an inveterate enemy. He was high-strung, but honorable in his dealings. He was passionate and lovable. It might be said that he was erratic. He was quick to resent a slight, but whenever he in error er anger offended a person, ho was gallant in hastening to make amends. Taken all in ally he was a most lovable character. Those who knew him best will never forget him. We spent many happy mo- ‘ments with him during the days of his prosperity in New York City. He was a spendthrift, who believed from the bottom of his heart that money was made to circulate. He had an “iron” constitution. We never could understand how he could live so long, being apparently slim and delicate. Our people have lost a faithful friend, a fearless defender and a tirgess fighter for their cause, He shifted polities, but he never traduced or sacrificed the colored people he represented. At all times, on all oceasions and in the face of merciless traducers, he was ever true to them. We know that the last chapter in our career will soon be written, for T. Thomas Fortune is gone. Peace to his ashes. Rest for his soul. “Pare thee well and if forever, still forever, Fare thee well.—Byron. HOOVER NOMINATED, ‘The nomination of Hon. Herbert ©. Hoover as the Republican candi- date for President of the United States insures a brilliant, tempestu- ous fight from the start. With the lights before us, we were of the opinion that Hon, Andrew W. Mel- lon, Secretary of the Treasury was correct in his conclusion that he was the most available «statesman for that position now before the Ameri- can public. He is able,and popular in many cections of this country and will be the strongest drawing card in the border Southern States in view of the certainty’ of the nomination of that popular leader, Hon, Alfred E. Smith, who is so un- popular in certain parts of our beloved South-land. ‘This unpopularity is based, of course upon religious prejudice and Tammany Hall. We do not believe that Mr. Hoover can fail to lose New York and several other highly important Eastern States. He must make up this loss in the Southern and the Western States, he has a chance to do this. He must prepare himself for a whirlwind campaign. Alfred E, Smith is a strong political fighter and he will carry the cam- paign personally into the enemy's country, so to speak, However, if the Republican party cannot win with Herbert Hoover, it cannot win with any other candidate. ‘As for the Western farmers, they must rely on the Republican party for aid and it cannot expect any help frem the Democratic party. If Prohibition is on the wane, Hon. Alfred B. Smith has a chance of success. If it is not, he is hope- lessly beaten from the start. “And there ye aire.” RICHMOND SHEPHERDS (Goaeleded tram naae tl) Bar! iin ern rage eT RET PRE TREC NE official cars followed with the Grand Shepherd, Mrs. Ora Brown Stokes, director; ' Nellie A.

Kemp, Philadelphia, Pa; Daughter Martha Simmons, Philadelphia, Pa.; Daughter Lelia A. Wynn, Richmond; Prof. Saunders, Petersburg, Va., with Mr, Frank Me- Williams at the wheel of the Grand Shepherd’s car. ‘The Philadelphia delegation’s car was second. ‘They motored here for the parade. These cars were followed by a number of ears carrying members of the Order. When the end of this parade swung into Leigh Street it presented one of the most attractive and_ pleasing sights ever exhibited in Richmond. The female members of the Provi- sional Battalion showed that they had been in intense training. Alpha Company made a very impressive showing. The Juveniles were the sen- sation of the parade. It appeared that the Shepherds Band looked bet- ter than on any previous engagement and their music gained for them many words of praise. and commen- dation. Prof. Benjamin Prosser has added another star to his crown of musical attainment. The Reindeer Band with its boy’s drum corps deserve no small. share of the credit for the splendid pa- rade. Their music was faultless and they made a fine appearance in their summer uniforms. Our band and or- ganization are under many obliga- tions to the splendid aggregation of musicians for their wonderful con- tribution to the occasion. We ap- preciate the splendid and efficient way in which Sergeant Robert Craf- ton and his police motorcycle detail looked after the routing of our’ pa- rade through the streets of the city. The program was good. Grand Recording "Secretary Mary E. Cou- sins was mistress of ceremonies and served in this capacity in her own amiable way. The Shepherds Chorus led by Daughter Emily 0. Lewis sang the opening ode. Devotionals were conducted by Rev. W. B. Ball. The choir of the church then tendered one of its sweet select songs. In a very eloquent and gripping address Mx. Preston Jokinson made the Or- der welcome. Words of welcome on behalf of the Folds of the West End were spoken by Director Charles Mc- Claiborne. Shepherd A. D. Daniel in a very happy vein responded to these addresses. Mrs. Daisy Johnson of Rey. William Thomas Memorial Fold, rendered a sweet and charming solo. Secretary A. C. Clark spoke on the progress of the Order in the Richmond District. He showed that the membership in this district had increased 912 members since last June. He also stated that the Rich- mond District had lost 15 members by death during the year and had paid in death $1,283.33. The 912 members will place back into the Or- der $2,188.00 in twelve months, a net gain for the mortuary depart- ment of $954.67. Remarks were made by Commissioner R, C. Miteh- ell on the military department. He was optimistic as to the future of this growing department of our Order. ‘Miss Ethel Henly sang with charm- ing sweetness, The Grand Shepherd, Mrs, Ora Brown Stokes, delivered a ringing address, teeming with inspi- ration, She stressed the modern pro- gram of the Shepherds in preparing to look out for the social welfare of its members and pled for_ closet unity in developing our institutions as they march forward toward the goal of economic success. . Her ad- dress was well received by the large crowd, which voiced its approval with vociferous applause. ‘The co!- lection was lifted by Shepherds John Mayo, Thomas Beverly, Daughters Susie H. Robinson and Louise Lewis. The collection was good. ‘The annual sermon was delivered by Rey. J. A. Brinkley, pastor of Mosby’s Memorial Baptist Church. The Reverend delivered the message in grandiloquent style and succeed- ed in putting the keynote of the day in the minds of his hearers. It was a message of hope and a criterion of inspiration for the members of the Order. They felt that they were the better prepared for a bigger and bet- ter year because of this message. Presentations were made by Daugh- ter Emma Wynn, Remarks were made by Daughter Mary E. Freeman, representing the Philadelphia Dis- trict, She complimented Richmond for its work and served notice that Philadelphia would not stop short of ‘first place in the activities of our Order. ‘The Juvenile Chorus sang the closing song. The remarkable manner in which Matron Lillie Bas- kerville has brought the Juvenile Department up to its present state of efficiency is one of the outstand- ing achievements of the year. | Deputy Susie J. Williams, repre- sented the Grand Shepherd, Mrs. Ora Brown Stokes, at the fourth an- nual sermon of St. James Fold, as- sociated with Pride of Remington, Oak Shade, Hearts Delight and the Meetz Folds, at Bealeton, Va.

Fails to Support Favorite The flood of rubber stamps bear- ing the name of George Ainslie did not materialize, although there were some in evidence. The word was passed to his backers to draw a line through the name of the nominee and to write in his, This was ap- parently done, as evidenced by the large number of incorrectly marked ballots. Ainslie carried only two precinets, first Madison and second Lee. Pecu- liarly, the first precinct reporting was second Lee with a margin of seven votes in favor of the indepen- dents’ candidate. The next to come in was Jefferson Ward, with a ma- jority of 252 for Bright. From that time the landslide continued un- checked. Does Not Materalize Lee Ward, always considered an Ainslie stronghold, failed to support its" favorite “son,” the count being 8,117 to 467. Jefferson Ward, home of John Hirschberg, who trailed the other two candidates in the primary, gave a majority of 1,600 to Bright. Madison, the only ward carried by Ainsle in the primary, gave him 812. or the lightest vote yesterday, Bright winning by 1,200. Clay Ward gave Ainslie 624 votes his largest ward total, but Bright received 2,997. he Chairman F. M, McClure, of the City Democratic Committee, issued a statement last night thanking the voters for their loyalty in going ta the polls in such large numbers Mr. McClure, aided by State leaders, worked to get out a vote and the former arranged a mass meeting last Saturday night to help stem the tide of opposition. Counted on Aid The “bolters” counted on material aid from Negro and Republican voters. Apparently they got little support from either. The rumored effort to elect a Negro to the Coun- cil was conspicuous by its absence. Several names besides that of Ainslie were written on the ballots. B. Roy Dudley, whose resignation as a member of the City Library Board was asked by the Mayor, thereby precipitating the fight, was given one vote. Bob Angell, Republican State chairman, and Joseph W. Stewart, Republican postmaster of Richmond were given a vote each. Louis F. Leaman was honored by one voter. John Hirschberg got three votes and M. B.

Had Nearly Killed Him With this weapon Suhor had near- ly succeeded in ending Lewis’ life for he laid in the hospital for weeks, hovering between life and death. There too was an aviator’s cap. In- side was a dark brownish veil with checkered, spots. Lewis claimed that it was the lining to the cap. This lining was long enough, however, to drop over the face and conceal the identity of the wearer in the night-time. Judge Mathews levelled his questions as to the purpose of all nf this. The commonwealth’s attorney was silent. His eyes showed, what seemed to be inward fury, a desire to get at the quarry. He never, got the opportunity Judge Mathews was doing the work and it was only once or twice that he was able to propound a question, which would tend to clarify the situation. Lewis was there to make a “clean breast” of the two affairs and he evidently was forced to do <0, for once or twice, Judge Mathews’ trapped him into contra- ficting himself, Only once did. the jurist admit that Michael Lewis had come to a correct conclusion. It was when he pleadingly said with a tone of despair, “I cannot make you believe me”. Judge Mathews wanted to know why he came to Richmond. Lewis had insisted that he had never been to Richmond before and finally was forced to admit that he was here many years ago, during the Cernival. i Still an Invalid Lew’s is still an invalid. He had been shot in the groin and in the leg. He limps badly. He knows now as he never knew before, that wrong-living does not pay. | The cap with veil was put on his head. He couidn’t be recognized for a cer- tainty in the day-time, much less at night. Then the Judge spoke of a letter which he had received from Michael Lewis. in which he said that he had learned that they were hard on colored people from. the North, whé got into trouble ‘dewn here. He was asked to, specify Where he got the information. He did not do this. In this group around the Judge's bench were white men, constituting those, who would have served on the jury. There were detectives, police officers and a few witnesses’ to. whom Michael Lewis had turned over some of the stolen plunder and for which he got nothing. Expected Light Sentence Lewis had evidently hoped to get a light sentence. Judge Mathews seemed determined that the affair would be arranged so that when Michael Lewis is released from servitude, he (the judge) together with many of those present will have gone the way of all the earth. He declared that a jury would in all probability have sent Michael Lewis to the electric chair. He announced that he would give him 18 years in each case a total of 36 years, which, with the allowance . Moore St. Bapt. Church, § on Leigh’St., between’Kinney and Bowe Sts ‘Dr. Gordon B.

Cheese-Vegetable Combinations From World's Only Model Cheese Kitchen. CHEF A CHEESE COMBINATION IN PREPARATION ```markdown ``` Vimoutier, a small village in France, recently erected a bronze tablet to the memory of Mme. Harel, the creator of that world famous delicacy, Camen-pert cheese. So important was the occasion that the President of France came down from Paris to officiate at the ceremony. In America, however, man's oldest food has not assumed a degree of importance. The home-economics specialist has found romance in a model blue and gray kitchen, the only cheese kitchen in the world, where the originates and perfects novel ways to use all varieties of cheese. The idea of the kitchen was that of L. Kraft, president of the Kraft-phenix Cheese company. The director of the unique kitchen is Maryahnke, who has done much of the ploner work that has helped to make cheese a really popular and smart delicacy with the American epigram. The scientific home-economics specialist daily proves that cheese is a nutritious and delicious food if correctly combined with other foods and eaten with a well-balanced diet. This Is Your Last Chance. The Negro in the World War A detailed description may be found in another column. Here is the coupon : Here are some of the vegetable cheese combinations which are new and original and scientifically tested: **String Beans With Cheese.** Turn the contents of one can of cut string beans into a saucepan. Put over a fire, let heat to the boiling point in the saucepan until the beans in one cup of cream sauce (using half of white stock as the liquid if convenient) and one half cup of cream as the liquid if convenient. Add one half cup of cream occasionally until the cheese is melted. Serve very hot. **Bermuda Onions Au Gratin.** Ball the onions until tender but not too soft. Put them in a saucepan and cream. Put the onions in a outtered glass baking dish: pour over them the cream and one tablespoon of chopped parsley. Season well and cover the top with a half cup of buttered bread crumbs. Bake for 20 minutes or 325 degrees until browned on top. Asparagus Au Gratin. Drain a can of asparagus. Add enough cream or evaporated milk to liquid to the same amount as in shallow baking dish. Make a sauce of the liquid, a tablespoon of butter and one tablespoon of flour. Season well. pour this over the asparagus. Cover with a half cup of cream and with one-half cup of grated cheese.

Wells has a plan for management and government of this earth, with one board of directors running the whole thing. Religions, says Wells, have run their course. Christianity, which began with "the completest communism," has become the completest capitalism. "Take all thou hast and give to the poor," has been changed to "get all thou canst, and Devil take the hindmost." Buddhism began in complete renunciation. Buddha let the hungry tress eat his body. Now vilest superstition replaces Buddha's teachings—and so it goes. Mr. Wells' plan is interesting, like those of Plato, in his "Republic" Moore in his "Utopia," and Karl Marx, in his book that became the foundation of modern socialism. Each one would work as well as the other, that is to say, not at all. Yet each is useful, for it makes men think, and that is important. The human race is an individual on a bigger scale, and it is in its infancy. It is useless to contemplate a baby two years old and plan to make a man of it in six months. You must observe how and at what rate your race or individual can grow, then do what you can to direct and promote good growth. The most important work now is to encourage thought and distribute knowledge. And the greatest agency is the public school. "Give light, and the people will find their own way." Give good public schools and you give light. Madame Reggio, opera singer, climbed the 1,358 steps of New York's Woolworth building in 13 minutes and 4 seconds, beating previous records. Thirty-eight years old, weight 104 pounds, the lady earned $3,000 by the climb, and did a useful thing by impressing the health value of singing. Nothing develops the lungs as singing does. Sing at your work and avoid consumption. Teach your children to sing. Imitate the British, who always sing, whether they CAN sing or not.

No rain has fallen in four years, fertile lands turn to deserts, farm houses are falling into ruins, the last green leaf has disappeared. We have all cause for thankfulness. Lack of rainfall would make life impossible. A tilting of the earth, spilling the oceans, would sweep this continent with a tidal wave a mile high. A change in water from H2O to H2O2 would change that water into peroxide of hydrogen. And if, like other substances, water contracted with the cold, instead of expanding, as it turns to ice, the ice would sink to the bottom of lakes and rivers, accumulate there and prevent navigation. We have reason to be thankful. Whom would you suggest for Vice-President on the Republican ticket? How would you go about selecting him? New York's Business Men's League suggests Colonel Theodore Roosevelt. His father accepted the Vice-Presidency against his will, complaining "I am being sidetracked." It turned out to be quite a conspicuous "side track." Governor Lowen is said to have declined the Vice-Presidency when Harding was elected. Had he accepted, he would be President now. One blast, one underground explosion, one cave-in miners in West, Kentucky, and Nevada. And hope has been abandoned for more than one hundred miners in the Mather mine in Pennsylvania.

Smiling domestic science An intimate view of the workings of a modern school system recently was afforded more than 200,000 people who attended the unique exhibit of the Cleveland public schools. The exposition, which was representative of every phase of the city's education activity, was held in the lobby of the Union Trust Co. Cleveland the largest bank (looby in the world) that has so many thousands of visitors the amazing progress that has been made in education methods in comparatively recent years. The fundamentals of learning the "three Rs" no longer suffice in THE FABULOUS TOAD. 31 GERMAN PARTIES. MR. ROSENWALD'S GIFTS. PICTURES AND VOICE. A horned toad, known to newspaper readers as Rip Van Winkle, is supposed to have lived more than thirty years in a corner stone without air, water or food. The toad has been seen by many, including the President. Some believe the yarn. The President has not committed himself. When the toad was placed on the President's desk neither said a word. Now the toad's owner heightens interest, saying that in his dark, airless corner stone the toad sat next to a Bible, and that noble book enabled him to hold out. Many will believe that it is a credulous human race. In a few days Germany will elect a new *Reichstag*, and thirty-one different parties will fight for the seats. These include two Catholic, two Socialist, two Nationalist, three Communist, and three Anti-Semitic parties. In America we have only two parties that count, and our people can hardly keep track of them. Not ten in a hundred could tell what either wants or plans. Fortune the country with little political excitement. It is quiet, because it is doing well. The success of the individual is often the good fortune of the many. Julius Rosenwald, who began with a public school education, courage and the desire to help others, has established a fund "for the benefit of humanity" recently adding $2,000,000 to other gifts, now in excess of $20,000,000. Mr. Rosenwald gives the money to trustees for the public benefit, and imposes only one condition, that "all the money shall be spent, principal and interest, within twenty-five years of Mr. Rosenwald's death." May that death be long postponed. Moving picture enthusiasts will soon have sound with their pictures. Actors will talk and sing on the screen and news reels will enable crowds to see and HEAR what happens. Moving picture actors will need good voices as well as beautiful teeth, faces, legs and hair. Soon the actor without a good voice will be a moving picture artist for the locus. Where Coolidge Will Keep Cool!

William Fox and his "Movetone" aided by Walter S. Gifford, of the big telephone company, and Mr. Bloom, of the Western Electric, have convinced the moving picture industry that moving pictures in future will require "sound and fury." Various changes will come, actors with good voices will be imported to Hollywood or moving picture studios will be transferred to places where good voices can be found. New York State has signed a check for $33,723,734, the biggest ever drawn by the richest State. The best part of it is that the money will be spent for public schools. Not long ago every State spent more for prisons than for public schools, and nothing at all for public libraries. There is progress. Art objects, from the Bronze Age, and pottery made by Philistines are dug in Palestine. It is impossible to realize what it meant to the human race when the ancients discovered, probably by accident, how to get copper from ore, and went traveling over the earth in search of it. Centuries ago, boats sailed cautiously from Mediterranean ports, keeping in sight of land, having no compass. Bold Phoenicians from the eastern end of the inland sea, traders that gold Solomon some of the wonderful things he put into his temple, sailed through the Straits of Gibraltar, into the wild Atlantic, using stars in place of a compass, pushing on to what we call the British Islands. That was a wonder. Yesterday the Italian flier, Umberto Nobile, in his dirigible, Italia, started through the air for the North Pole, but was forced back by fog and a gale. He took with him a cross, 6 feet long, to be dropped as near to the Pole as possible, and the flag of Pone Plus. The earth is conquered, sea and air. Will men ever conquer outside space?

A's. and various other organizations have deen estadl'shed., I fear that many ef them are forgetting the source from which they have come, the rock from which they were hewn. ‘The church inspires men and women for service. If there is anything for which Ebenezer should be proud, it ts the work of {ts men and women. ‘They are rendering service. } ~— WRONG CRITICISMS. Fully 90 per cent. of the perman ent supporters of our colleges are members of the Christian church. T haven't the time to stray off, but sometimes I hear men criticising members of our institutions of learning and our faculty. Brethren, they Bre members of your church. Take him back if He has strayed off, and handle it there, Some one was talking to me about Darrow, the great friend of the Negro. Who are the people who have stood up for the betterment of humanity? Did they spring from the church, or were they men who had no faith in God? I think that the statement is cor rect, that they have been men who had faith in God. WAITING FOR POWER. Rev. Reid spoke of the disciples weiting for the power of ths Holy Ghost. ‘Through the ages. the church has gone forth conquering and to conaner. Ebenezer stands among the first among all of this country. He spoke of the say'ng that the young people are on their way to hell. Ifthey are on their way to hell, they are being led by the old folks. The church today is as it has ever deen. It has a ministry that is as godly as it has ever been. ‘The church has won miracles through {ts ministry. Tt is qs fair as the moon. as clear as the sun and as terrible ‘as an army with banners.

Campbell, of Anderson, South Caro- lina, who is condueting a revival at Sixth Mt, Zion Baptist Church, the Baptist Ministers’ Conference went into Executive Session at the call of the President, Rev. J. E. Fountain BL Th. The object of the session was to consider charges brought against Rev. G. L. Rawlins. Rev. Rawlins was charged with being guilty of conduct unbecoming a minister and a gentleman. Several brethren stated that the brother in question had appeared in the Conference on occasion in such condition as to bring reproach on the sacred office of the, ministry. Altho summoned to appear in his defense, Rev. Rawlins failed to do so, the ‘committee waiting upon him, reporting that he replied to the request of the Conference in un- printable language. After hearing the evidence, which produced much discussion, the Con- ference voted unanimously that the Rev. G. L: Rawlins, be expelled from the body. Expressions of regret were heard that this unpleasant duty had to be performed near to the ‘close of one of the most helpful and interesting years in Conference history. ‘The Baptist Ministers’ Conference is composed of men whose sense of christian manhood and ministeria! dignity is high, Tt ideals and stand- ards are those set up by the Man of Galilee, hence Rey. Rawlins con- duct left the body but one course to persue, this it did, regretting that such action had become necessary.

THE PASSING OF TIMOTHY THOMAS FORTUNE (By Kelly Miller) | Thomas Fortune is dead. His active life covered the most dynamic [half century in human _ history More rapid and radical changes took place in his day than this old planet of ours had witnessed from creation’s dawn up to the time of shis arrival. These world sweeping movements made little or no con: scious. impressions upon him, He lived in a limited racial world. The onward sweep of cosmic forees made litte impression upon his zealous soul, Amid the cosmic sweep of science, discovery, invention, the world transforming changes _ in literature, art, religion and practi- cal life, he stood aloof and indif- ferent like the Hebrew prophets ‘declaring with clarion voice, that | righteousness and _ righteousness alone is the salvation of the nation. |Like unto a voice crying in the wilderness, the world listened for but a moment, then stopped its ears to the impotent wailings of the conscience, | Fortune was born in the year of the Dred Scott Decision. "His infancy covered the stirritg years of the Civil War. As soon as his boyish imagination began to stir his spirit, he was caught up in the whirl ‘of Reconstruction. Never did youthful spirit feed on more nourishing and stimulating pabulum. His soul made instant response to that stimulus. ‘The diverse strains of Negro, Indian and Caucasian blood Kept his nature in unstable equilibrium, He was motivated by the dynamics of unbalanced pres- sure. The waters of liberty were stirred, and his zealous youth was baptized therein. These were the days that tried men’s souls. In such an environment as this young Fortune found his soul. Contrast that day with this day. The rally- ing cry of the Civil War was the purchase of liberty; the watchword of the World War was the purchase of liberty bonds. The youth of that day was obsessed with a love of liberty that would not let him go; the youth of our day is obsessed with the craze for luxury and ease, as with a demonical possession. A reverent and devout friend of mine declares that he is glad that he get religion fifty years ago, for it would be impossible for him to get it now. The same timely dis- advantage applies to indoctrination into the principles of liberty and the rights of man. Young Fortune, at once launched upon the political tide, then at high flood. At twelve years of age he was a page in the Florida legis- Jature. He soon found himself in Howard University as did many a high spirited youth of that day. But he found the tedium of peda- ‘gogy too restrictive for his rest- Tess soul, Indeed the school has nothing to impart to a great mind or a great spirit except dead formu- las under which it chafes as a spirited horse under restraint of the bit. Who could teach Jesus religion, Darwin biology, Emerson philosophy, Henry Ford ‘business, or Theodore Roosevelt polities? | And, so Young ‘Thomas passed through .. Howard University without the slightest "im: Ea upon his ‘impatient and impetuous spirit. He at once plunged into jour- nalism which is the swiftest and surest institution yet devised by man to bring into life and power whatever is within us. After all has been said and done Timothy ‘Thomas Fortune represents the best developed journalist that the Negro race has produced in the Western world. His pen knew but one theme—the right of man. His editorials ‘were accepted throughout the journalistic world, as the voice of the Negro, For a’ season, bridg- ing the decline of Douglass and the rise of Booker T. Washington, he was the most influential Negro in the nation. A record of his life would be an adequate history of the Negro race for the past fifty years. He knew intimately and in- fluentially every upstanding Negro who participated in the dramatic episodes of Reconstruction. He was not merely an onlooker, but a par- Gatient: Edw. Wright Charéed with " Murder S=— (Republished by request) (Special by John Mitchell, Jr.) Eddie Wright was in the Police Court, Thursday, May Sist, 1928, charged with unlawfully and felon- jously shooting with a shotgun James Valentine and Phyllis Roberts. The witnesses were OC. E. Parker, I. G. Cousins, B. C. Leber, F. H. Kemmerer, C. ©, Addleton, William Schools, Edward Dennis, Phyllis Roberts and James Valen- tine. Later this charge was changed to first degree murder, after the death of James Valentine. The ~6B66 Cures Chills and. Fever Intermittent, Remittent and Bilious Fever due | to Malaria.

Eddie Wrigh came to the barred enclosure anc made the following statement: | bought a pint of whiskey from boy named Whit, who was selling for Jake Robinson. I told him | would pay him Thursday, that day being Wednesday. He ‘went anc got Jake Robinson. Jake came back and told me to pay him $1.00 for the pint, I told him I would paj him Thursday. He took me out and under a pistol, which he held he had the boy beat me, Ure Nee a Guay I went home and got a gun and came back, Jake and his wife were sitting on’ the porch. She said, yonder he comes. He pulled out a Pistol. She jumped up and I fired, some of the load striking her. Jake went through the front door and came out the back way with a pistol in his hand, I shot at him again. As I shot, the boy came out from behind the house behind him and beit taller than Jake, he caught the toad right in his neck. Wife and Children. I have a wife .and two children and am employed by Mr. E. 0. Lenz at the club. This ended the inter- view. Wright is entered up as be- ing 35 years of age. The boy shot had nothing whatever to do with the affair. Coroner Jathes M. Whitfield held an inquest June 2nd, in the City Hall, over” the body of James Valentine. Jake Roberts said, “I live at 902 N. Thirty-first Street, in this city. James Valentine was shot by Eddie Wright on May 30, 1928, about 5 P. M., at 902 N. Thirty-first Street. He -was shot with a shotgun, Eddie Wright came to my house and asked change for a dollar. I gave him two 50 cent pieces, and he jumped in his automobile and drove away without giving me the dollar bill he had in his hand. Later on in the afternoon I saw him with four of his friends at Thirty-second and Q Streets. I asked him for my money and he vefnsed and said he would not give ‘me anything. “{ hit him and he threw the money toward me and said, ‘There is the money,’ as he fell. As he was getting up, he put his right hand under his coat. I thought he was going p draw a pistol and his four friends started toward me. I pulled out my pistol, | His friends went back to the automobile and Wright got up, did not pull out his pistol and went to the semomobile. “He said, ‘Never mind, I will get you’, and the friends said, ‘That’s damn right, we'll get you’ They drove away. Wright and his friends and I went home. Whit Tersy, James Valentine, Phyllis (my wife), and I were sitting on the front porch, I went back into the kitchen and while in there heard a shot. I heard my wife scream and run next door to my mother’s house, and heard a second shot. When I came out of her house, Eddie Wright shot at me. My wife was shot and told me that “Heatith” shot her. This is Eddie Wright's nick-name. May Roberts told me that they had shot James Valentine.” Whit Terry said, “I live at 1210 North Thirty-first Street. | “Heatith shot James Valentine with a shot- gun while Valentine was sitting on Roberts’ porch, 902 N. Thirty-first Street. I was sitting beside Valen- tine. “The automobile in which was ‘Heatith’ came from P_ Street in front of 902 N. Thirty-first Street, and then ‘Heatith’ shot Valentine.
