After routine business the roll of committees was called and the report of the committee on credentials awaited. Miss Mary M. Scott, G. W. S., called the roster of delegates. The grand officers had previously answered to their names. An acquaintance meeting, at which free refreshments were served, took place Tuesday at 1 P. M. The spectacular parade took place at 7 P. M. Tuesday. The new uniform for the Uniform rank was displayed and greatly pleased this department. Captain Hester Friend had charge of the rank. Miss Julia Robinson marched as David, the Shepherd. The exercises Tuesday night were as follows: Grand Worthy Ruler A. G. Taylor presided as mistress of ceremonies. A large crowd filled the auditorium. The 23rd Psalm was read. The Sharon Baptist Church choir, under the efficient leadership of Dr. J. L. Peters, sang, after which Miss Sallie Cowan, the accomplished Sunday School worker, read the Scriptures. Prayer was offered by Rev. W. H. Ford, first vice-ruler. Music by the choir. Mr. Bernard Allen read a well prepared address of welcome on the behalf of the church. Response by Rev. J. R. Beverly.

Then Mrs. Rosa Talley Branch thrilled the audience with her singing of "When the Bridegroom Cometh Bye and Bye". She was rapturously applauded and returned to sing another selection. The efficient secretary, Miss Mary M. Scott, read a short report of the work during the past year. It was brimfull of information. The choir sang a selection during which a collection was delivered. Mrs. Taylor introduced Rev. Fendall W. Wil- liams, D. D., pastor of the Fourth Baptist Church. He spoke from Esther 4:14. Subject, "God's Purpose and Our Opportunity". For forty minutes he gave advice to the congregation, drawing vivid comparisons with the story as told in the Book of Ether, awarding of prizes to the winners concluded the evening exercises. SABBATH GLEE CLUB SCORES HEAVILY The Sabbath Glee Club scored heavily on their second annual appearance at the Queen Street Baptist Church, Hampton, Va., Rev. B. H. Johnson, pastor, on Sunday, September 2, 1928, at 3:30 P. M. On this Sunday, which was the opening of the fall rally, the club rendered a program of about an hour, consisting of about fourteen numbers, being divided between the popular spirituals and semi-classical renditions. Solo by Mr. Walter White, Miss Ivadell Porter, instructor of music at State College, accompanist. The esteem with which the club is held can best be judged when it is stated that the church was packed. Before and after the concert the club was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. B. E. Minkins, 2961 Hampton Road, an instructor of carpentry at the Normal School and the director of music at Queen Church. After being invited an elaborate support at his residence, an impromptu musical program was rendered, interspersed with remarks from several guests present. Miss Porter's rendition of "Inflammatus," assisted by the club and our own "Bob" Wilder as toastmaster, were the features of the day.

LEAVE FOR MAINE (New York Times, September 1st) Dr. Hubert Work, chairman of the Republican National Committee, stopped off here yesterday on his way from Washington to Maine, conferred with local party leaders and declared in a talk with newspaper reporters that Herbert Hoover would carry New York against Governor Smith. Dr. Work added that he had no doubt of Mr. Hoover's election and predicted that Governor Smith would get 'about as many electoral votes as John W. Davis did in 1924.' Dr. Work based his prediction on national prosperity. "Economic conditions are about the same as they were when the landslide for Coolidge occurred," he said. "If anything, they have improved."

Impressive Exercises Here The National Ideal Society held a fine session here this week. The prime move was the dedication of the new building, which was a veritable scene of beauty last Tuesday night when it was thrown open to the inspection of the public. It had been elaborately decorated, both inside and out. Supreme Worthy Master A. W. Holmes was congratulated on all sides for his effort. The spacious auditorium in the building accommodated the visiting delegates. All expense incident to the erection of this structure has been paid. Mrs. Lelia Williams Bankett was a central figure arranging the affair and she is now ready for a whirlwind canvass for members throughout the country. Elks Have Great Session in Chicago G Secretary Bates and G. Treas. Carter Succeeded by Others. Steam Roller Said to be All Powerful—Atlantic City in 1929 Greatest Social Event in Tidewater Eclipsing in brilliancy of setting and in the personnel of attendance of any social event witnessed here within the memory of the oldest inhabitants was the beautiful wedding of Miss Maurice Ethelred, only daughter of Lawyer and Mrs. J. Thomas Newsome, to Prof. Irving Antony Derbigny, at the first Baptist Church of Newport News, Va., last Wednesday. Attracted to the nuptials by the popularity of the contracting pair were hosts of many of the most prominent people of the race from this and other States. The entire faculty of the State College located at Petersburg, headed by Dr. John M. Gandy, president of that institution, was present. Filling every available seat and space in the spacious church and overflowing in the streets adjacent to it were throngs of people who came out to show their respects to the young couple. The ring ceremony which was used in wearing the pair was beautifully and impressively performed by Rev. E. E. Smith, pastor of Zion Baptist Church of Portsmouth, Va., the foster son-in-law of Mr. and Mrs. Newsome. Beginning the ceremony was a solo, entitled "Beloved, Tis Morn," sung by Prof. L. F. Palmer, principal of the Huntington High School, in that charming voice of his, which profoundly pleased the vast audience. At its conclusion Mendelsohn's wedding march was beautifully executed by Miss Undine Anna Smith, who also played the (Continued from page 5) We direct attention to the advertisement of the Lawnwown Shoe Co.

E. of W. met last week in Chicago Illinois, with Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson presiding. Grand Secretary George E. Bates was secretary. The parade was a grand affair. The re-election of J. Finley Wilson was brought about before the committee on credentials had reported and was later in the session ratified. The account of the election is given as follows: The sensation of the Grand Lodge occurred last Thursday when George E. Bates, grand secretary, and James T. Carter, grand treasurer, were defeated for re-election. Mr. Bates had served as secretary for seventeen years. Mr. Carter had been the treasurer for fifteen years. James E. Kelley, a postman and exalted ruler of Jones Valley Lodge, No. 14, Birmingham, Ala., was elected to succeed Bates. James C. Mar- (Continued on page 5) Reindeer to Meet in Baltimore. The Richmond Lodge, No. 12, B. P. of Reindeer, is making extensive preparation to attend the Sixth Annual Convention of Reindeer, which convenes in Baltimore, September 9th-12th, inclusively. The following members have been elected to represent Richmond Lodge at that time, Brothers Charles E. Dudley, John Fulford, John Walker, George Edward Hunter, Nathaniel Roy and Willie M. Grant. The Richmond Lodge of Reindeer has made rapid progress. Though young in existence, it boasts of one of the largest memberships of Reindeer. Albert R. Patterson as dictator has given much of his time and means. Therefore much of the success is due largely to his efforts. The Order of Reindeer offers many inducements to men and women without any added taxation. The Fifth Anniversary of Richmond Lodge will be held from Armstrong High School auditorium, September 30, 1928, at 3:30 P. M. A very elaborate program has been arranged, featuring the famous Sabbath Glee Club, the honorable James T. Carter as speaker of the evening and many other features. The public is cordially invited to attend. ```markdown ``` a Di: Frank Crane Says EMPLOYING THE DEAF What people want, most of all, that is, the self-respecting kind of people, is not charity but employment. ‘A man who can work at all wants to do his bit. ‘The most commendable trait in a human being is a desire to stand ‘on his own feet and get himself off other peoples’ backs. When you give a man a job, therefore, you give a boost to his persoaality. You help him respect himself. ‘When you give a man charity it depresses his personality and encourages that spirit in him which makes him a pauper. ‘We are all sorry for deaf people and none of us would object to giving them a quarter now and then to help them along, But this is the cheapest thing we can do. It is mere sop to sentiment. It is giving a little of our surplus money to relieve ourselves of the respon- sibility of giving our time and interest and effort, ‘The American Federation of Organizations for the Hard of Hearing with headquartersyat Washington, D.C, is seeking to help she teat by finding them jobs. The New York League for the Hard of rearing has done a great deal for the unemployed deaf. ‘These organizations are investigating constantly occupations in which the deafened can make good, giving advice as to chance of occu~ pations or as to training for available occupations. For instance, it suggested to a deafened fur salesman that he give ‘up the salesmanship of fur for fur cutting, and he is making a success in that line, whereas he was failing in the former line. ‘A New York store employed hard of hearing cash girls with success Decause the crash of noise of the carriers does not distract them. ‘There are many occupations which a deaf person can pursue, altho zh he is handicapped in many. The public should realize that the best way to help deaf people, as well as other crippled or impaired people, is to give them employ- ment. aid the employers of the country would do 2 great deal more | ‘good work, to people than they could do in giving them charity or dispensing largess in any way. It is not ursed that peopie should let their sympathy, interfere with their brsiness, but wherever their business can be carried on just as well“ whe need it the job should be given them.

In Boudoirland BY Natalie Thurston HOME BEAUTY SHELF Times have changed since Grand-mother thought she was doing handsomely by her school girl beauty when she powdered her nose with pulverized starch and nourished her cheeks with white salve from the family medicine cabinet. Today some women use as many as forty different powders, cold creams, toning lotions, rouges, and what-have-you to conserve their facial charm. Following are the contents of my own home beauty shelf: Cleansing Cream—Absorbs powder, dust and impurities of skin without working them into pores. Massage Cream—Lubricates skin for the daily massage which is essential for supplying nourishment to epidermal cells. Toning Lotion—For removing all traces of creams and stimulating circulation. Tissue Cream—To be used at night for nourishing skin. Pore Paste—Essential for dry and sensitive skins as substitute for soap about nose and chin areas. Foundation—A greaseless cream or astringent lotion for checking oily secretions of over-active pores preliminary to powdering or rouging. Bath Powder—For whitening and Complexión Powder—For face and neck. Bouge — Gives checks normal, healthy glow. Toilet Water — Exudes pleasing aroma. Perfume — Heightens charm and individuality of toilette. Naturally, a home beauty shelf must mirror the activities of its owner. Mine reflects me as I am—an average workaday woman. Of course, that of a society woman would be much more complete. Women of wealth, whose days are an endless cycle of golf, tennis, judge luncheons, charity, garden fetes, dinners and balls require special make-ups for day-time work, for sports, and for evening.

SMITH Miracle Change in Travel Ways in One Generation THE RAILWAY An ox-drawn emigrant wagon trekked across the unplanned prairies of Illinois and Iowa seventy years ago. A side-wheel river steamboat paddled its slow way to the upper reaches of the Mississippi. So effective was the carrying value of these two modes of travel, and so responsive the country through which they ran, that in the span of an average man's life, an incredible contrast in transportation has come to ease. Two Pullman limited trains with a smooth safe speed and luxury unreamed in the middle nineteenth century, were put into service to the Chicago and North Western Railway, August 20, across the plains to the Missouri river, and north through the Mississippi Valley. The story of transportation in the west is told in the three score years and on that stretch between the coveted oregon and the river boat at one THE RICHMAN DAY PHONE, RAN. 4903 --- PACE, Incorporated VECTOR AND BANK Meetings and BAND WARER T, RICHMOND IN CITY OR COUNTY INSTITUTE PACE for PRESENT HERBERT H.

The two new trains leaving the Chicago & North Western Terminal, and the four river cities on the same date, on August 20, the climax, chapter in the romance that began when the first ozek of ozen was beaded west and the first crude little steamboat started north to Port Snelling. MOND OND PLANE HRE המשתמש Published Every Saturday by John Mitchell, in at 111 North Fourth Street, Richmond, Pa. JOHN MITCHELL, JR....EDITOR all communications intended for publication would be sent to reach us by Wednesday. Entered at the Post Office at Richmond, Virginia, as second class matter. A singular happening took place in Chicago last week. Joe Dundee, the welterweight champion of the world, would not agree to meet the colored prize fighter from San Francisco unless he would agree to weigh in at one pound over-weight, so that his pugilistic crown would not be endangered. In the welterweight class 147 pounds is said to be the limit and not an ounce over. Jack Thompson, the colored fighter, succeeded in increasing his weight to 148 pounds and on the Wednesday night weighed in at that weight. The bout had to be postponed until a day or two later. In the meantime he had dropped to the weight at which he fights best and he met Jack Dundee before an audience of 9,000 fans and he knocked him out technically in the second round. Thompson displayed a skill that was reminiscent of the famous Joe Gans, of Baltimore, and it is evident that Dundee will be forced to fight him for the championship or retire from that class. REPUBLICAN VICTORY SURE The Colored Voters Division of the Republican National Committee sends out a report that the first meeting of the executive committee was held recently with Dr. John R. Hawkins presiding. Dr. Hubert Work, chairman of the Republican National Committee, and Mrs. Alvin T. Hert, chairman of the Women's Division of the Republican National Committee, were present. Chairman Work is reported to have said: "This is a different campaign. The sentiment is different. The procedure is different. In the campaign we are making use of business and professional leaders and other right-thinking people. Your organization like ours, is comprised of men and women who represent the best in brain, character, worth and ability within the ranks of the Republican party." Evidently, this can be considered as a reply to the declinations of Hon. J. Thomas Newsome, of Virginia, and Hon. R. R. Church, of Tennessee. He is quoted further: "We have the utmost faith in the ability of this organization, and feel that you will prove worthy of the trust which has imposed in you. We are entering a great campaign and expect a real battle, but we are confident of victory." This settles it. According to Chairman Work, "It is all over but the shouting." The recognition of this colored Voters' Division is but a gesture. Negroes can vote for Hoover and Curtis or for Smith and Robinson, so far as the Republican chairman is concerned. No doubtful States exist in the North, as such. It is only a deceptive appearance, a veritable "Jack-O-Lantern" light or scare that has no existence in fact. With this view of the situation, Chairman Hawkins is secure. He is all right. Blunders either by him or by his superior officers amount to nothing. It is, so far as Hon. Herbert Hoover is concerned a foregone conclusion that he will be elected. "Come it will. The day decreed by Fate." To the political seers and prophets of the Old School, it is a case of "Good-night and good-bye". Let us hope that he has read the "Signs of the times" aright. MRS. WILLEBRANDT DENIES HOOVER HALTED HER DRY LAW ACTIVITIES IN NEW YORK (Special to The New York Times) Washington, Aug. 31.—The published report that Mrs. Mabel W. Willebrandt, Assistant Attorney General in charge of prohibition enforcement, was hurriedly summoned to a conference here yesterday with Herbert Hoover, H. Edmund Machold, Republican State Chairman of New York, and William H. Hill, Chairman of the New York Hoover-Curtis Campaign Committee, to discuss her activities in recent prohibition cases in New York, brought denial today from Mrs. Willebrandt that she and the New York politicians and Mr. There is a Golden Brown Beauty Aid for every beauty need. You can't buy better at any price. Be sure you get the original Golden Brown Products. None genuine without this signature Madame Mamie Nightower's Golden Brown BEAUTY PREPARATIONS Hoover had discussed her official duties. Mrs. Willebrandt entered this conference late in the day, and there was speculation as to whether the New Yorkers had told her that the recent wholesale raids in New York City by Federal prohibition agents were having a bad effect upon the fortunes of the Republican Party in the city and State. Mrs. Willebrandt was plainly annoyed today by deductions drawn from her conference with Messrs. Hoover, Machold and Hill. "It is postoperative," she said "that Mr. Hoover or any other candidate for a high and dignified office such as the Presidency of the United States, would be able to control a public officer in the discharge of official duties. Mr. Hoover has not done so and would not do so. The conduct of my official duties was not discussed with Mr. Hoover." Mrs. Willebrandt did not deny that the effect of prohibition on the New York campaign was brought up in the discussion, saying that it is an issue there of perhaps greater import than in any other State. She declared in discussing the matter informally that there had been no mention by any one in the conference of her activities in dry law enforcement. There was no suggestion that the Government cease its activities in prohibition cases, she said, and added that the recent raids on the night clubs in New York were not mentioned. Mrs. Willebrandt did not explain why she was called to Mr. Hoover's personal headquarters while Mr. Machold and Mr. Hill were there. She declined to give any especial reason for participating in a conference which presumably dealt entirely with practical politics in New York and policies to be followed by the Hoover managers and the new Republican State Chairman.

We wish every one to know that we appreciate and thank from the bottom of our hearts all those dear kind and lovely friends who gave us such fine assistance and support in the dark hour of sorrow and death of our dearly beloved wife and mother, Mrs. Lucey Clark.

HOWARD'S PLEA OF INNOCENCE. The only information I have with reference to my indictment is what I have read in the daily papers. I am a martyr to the cause I represent—Negro Leadership. Persecution is the price of martyrdom. Prison walls to martyrs are like palaces to the nobility. I am perfectly willing to be offered up and pay the price of martyrdom. A cause is certainly far greater than the individual. I have been pursued politically and in the civil courts, and now my political enemies seek to have me crucified in the criminal courts. I have no idea what the charge is. Whatever it is, I know that it is the back-fire from the current of a righteous cause, and this cause will go on, whether I am temporarily incarcerated or not. I am guilty of no wrong doing, directly or indirectly. My ''lily-white'' adversaries have enlisted the aid of powerful influence, material, political and otherwise, and I am not surprised at what happened. For seven years, I have been the most hounded and investigated man in the United States. No man in the Nation has done more than I to prevent anything that ever smacked of the purchase and sale of public offices. I required of applicants for offices in the State of xMississippi affidavits declaring that the applicant had given or promised to give no consideration of any kind for the office. This was at the inception of my administration and prior to the enactment of the statute requiring the filing of affidavits to that effect with the Comptroller General. I appeared before the House Judiciary Committee as the records of that Committee will show, and urged the enactment of a law requiring all appointees to make an affidavit stating that they had not given or promised to give any consideration for their appointment. I repeat that I have done no wrong. I have been merely accused as the result of an exparte hearing. No one in public life is safe from accusations by his political enemies, and all fair-minded Americans will throw around me the presumption of innocence until I have been proven guilty. I have no fear of the outcome of a trial in Mississippi. A grand jury indicted Perry W. Howard and associates, and postponed trial until Nov. 5, 1928, nearly four months from date of indictment and during the entire time of the campaign for the Presidency, in which campaign Howard and his associates are virtually interested. Such delays are positively prohibited by the Constitution of the United States, Article VI: In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and District wherein the crime shall have been committed, which District shall have been previously ascertained by law and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process DERBIGNY—NEWSOME NUPTIALS (Concluded from page 1) wedding march by Lohengrin as the bride entered. The altar was artistically and elaborately decorated with Easter lilies, palms, ferns, trailing smilax and cathedral candles, by Vansant. The bridal party was very large, consisting of three junior bridesmaids, ten bridesmaids, ring bearer, ten groomsmen, best man, maid of honor, and matron of honor, which preceded the bride to the altar, which was given in marriage by her father, Lawyer J. Thomas Newsome, and met at the altar by the groom and best man, Dean Wilbur Florence, of the State College at Petersburg. The bride's gown was of white bride's satin, fashioned in basque style, a full skirt draped a neck quantity revealing a panel of brown lace. The veil or embroidered French tulle was arranged in caramel effect and caught at each side with orange blossoms. Satin wore a white satin pumps with white hose and carried a shower bouquet of white bride's roses and lilies of the valley. The bride's only companion was a siring of pearls. The maid of honor, Miss Salome Shivers, wore a creation of Maize crepe-back satin, with tulle of burnt orange, made bouffant style, with shirred ruffles of tulle, making an uneven benneline. She wore a large picture hat of tulle Maize and carried an arm bouquet of Asters showered with white and green ribbon. The matron of honor, Mrs. Lena Sykes Smith, foster sister of the bride, wore rose orchid creation, made bouffant style, with large picture hat to match, wearing silver slippers and hose to match and carried an arm bouquet of Asters to wear with costume. The bridesmaids were ten in number. They were gowned in taffeta gowns of two colors, carrying out the rainbow effect. Their dresses carried the uneven hemlines in the darker tones with the surplice effect terminating at the waistline in a large bow with a rose of the same material. They wore large picture hats matching the darker color of their dresses and carried arm bouquets of Asterns of the same color. They wore silver slippers with hose to match. The bridesmaids came in as follows: Miss Theresa Davis with Miss Arnetta Jones, Miss Ruth Pinkett with Miss Gladys Sears, Miss Gwendolyn Jordan with Miss Ethel Mason, Miss Jessie Wyche with Miss Johnsye Mae Ridley, and Miss Marion Gandy with Miss Miriam Price. Little Miss Jewel Cuffey, attired in a maize taffeta, made with a full ruffle skirt, carried a white basket filled with rose petals which she scattered in the pathway of the bride. Master L. F. Palmer, Jr., in a suit of black satin with blouse of white crepe dechine with plaited cuffs and collar, carried the license on a white satin pillow, ornamented with orange blossoms. The junior maids were three in number and were Misses Julia P. Spaulding, Iris Bradby and Marietta Sniers, who were attired in blue taffeta made basque effect with full skirts. On their heads were little Dutch bonnets coquettishly turned in the back and two of them, Miss Julia P. Spaulding and Miss Iris Bradby, carried white satin crooks ornamented with white ribbons and orange blossoms, while Miss Marietta Sniers lighted the candles. The mother of the bride wore black chiffon and satin over a ship of Copenhagen blue with blue orchids at shoulder and waistline and a black velvet hat. She was escorted to her seat by Dr. L. A. Fowkes, who was master of ceremonies. The groomsmen were Messrs. A. D. Manning, Hugh T. Jackson, Arthur Jackson, Walter Brower, Hannibal Ridley, John Balloon, Dr. Leonard Banks, and Professors F. A. Burton, H. E. Fauntleroy and John McNeile Hunter, of the State College at Petersburg. The bride's gifts to her maids were sterling silver and enamel pins. Her gifts to the junior maids were atomizers, her gift to the little license bearer was a sterling silver pin, her gift to the little flower girl was a sterling silver and enamel pin, and to the organist, Miss Undine Anna Smith, of Petersburg, a silver pin with enamel. At the conclusion of the ceremonies a reception was held at the residence of the bride's parents, where dainty refreshments were served. The groom's gift to his groommen were white gold cuff links. The bride's gift to the groom was a tie chem, and the matron of honor and maid of honor crystal chokers. numerous girls were given the bride, some coming as far Southwest as Texas and as far North as Canada. A dinner at the State College of Petersburg, Va., given by Prof. I. A. Derbigny to his fiancee was the forerunner of the prenuptial affairs. At this dinner Mrs. John M. Gandy, wife of the president of the college, was hostess. This was followed by a reception given by the bride-to-be to her bridesmaids at the home of her parents. Following in the wake of this reception was a shower sponsored by Mrs. Marsh Jordan at her residence, assisted by Jordan at her residence, sponsored by Mesdames Catherine Bailey Moore, Mrs. Bailey and Mrs. Annie Hardy was given at the residence of Mrs. Moore. The bride elect was born in this house. Another was a block shower sponsored by Mrs. Carrie Bolden, assisted by the ladies of the same block. The bride-elect lives in this block. The bride is the only child of Lawyer and Mrs. J. the Thomas Newsome, a graduate of the State College at Petersburg, has a degree of A. B. from Fisk University, and is a master of Columbia University. The groom, who is at the head of the science department at the State College at Petersburg, is an A. B. from Talledge College, and took his master degree at Cornell. The bridal pair left $ 4 0 \circ$clock last Wednesday for an extensive trip to Northern Newfoundland and Eastern cities.

The Elks Have Great (Continued from page 1) tin, a poolroom owner and exalted ruler of Fort Dearborn Lodge, No. 44, was chosen to succeed Carter. The defeat of Bates and Carter was a signal victory for Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson. Ever since his election in 1922 there has been a continual fight between Mr. Wilson and Mr. Bates and Mr. Carter. At this session the presiding officer for the grand officees who would support the policies and program of the grand exalted ruler. The first move in the strategy to beat Bates and Carter came when George W. Lee on the opening day of the convention moved that the rules be suspended and Mr. Wilson elected to succeed himself by acclamation. Mr. Wilson had just finished the reading of his annual report. The convention had not been organized, the report of the Committee on Credentials not having been for obtaining witnesses in his favor and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense. What will the Ten Million Colored People, with their lone Representative on the Republican National Committee do about it? The great Republican National Convention confirmed his title to his seat and recognized him as entitled to sit with representatives from other States. Upon the demand of that anti-Negro "Carpet-bagger" George L. Shelden, ex-Governor of Nebraska, is Howard to be sacrificed in the Courts and crucified in the Republican Party? Let the Colored People and their organizations give the answer now, so that its reverberations may be heard Nov. 6. 1928 from the Atlantic to the Pacific; from Canada to the Gulf. THAT PLEA OF INNOCENCE. "The more you mow us down, the more thickly we grow; the blood of Christians is fresh seed."—Tertullian It has been a common saying among white southerners that whenever northerners attempt to deal with the Negro question in the Southland, they almost invariably make a mess of it. This seems to have been verified in the case of Hon. George L. Sheldon, former Governor of Nebraska, who seems to have tired of residing within the State, which had rewarded him with high office. He preferred to occupy the southern designation of "carpet-bagger" and he moved into Perry W. Howard's State of Mississippi to make trouble for him and the rest of the able colored men of that far Southern State. As a rule, with the exception of the "poor whites", thousands of southerners, who are against the Negroes are against the other fellow's Negroes and he is "gloriously" in favor of his own Negroes, those, who possess family ties coming down the line from slavery, many of whom now trace their lineage to the black mammals of other days and to the "big house" Negroes, who were butlers, hostlers valets and the like. This class of southerners have a bitter antipathy to Negroes from the North. They dislike that nasal twang and they despise everything pertaining to this class of the "brothers in black" who aspire to civil rights and social privileges. The Hon. George L. Sheldon evidently did not know this when he went up against that Negro Mississippi, who hallied from the State of Hon. John Sharp Williams and whose appointment as Special Assistant Attorney General made. To correct any flaw in his election at that time Mr. Wilson later had the convention to ratify its previous action. Before the convention proceeded with the election of officers Thursday, Bishop W. Sampson Brooks, of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, offered a prayer. The election of the commissioner of education was put ahead of the election of the more important officers. William C. Hueston, the commissioner, had presided at the caucuses which had for their purposes the defeat of Bates and Carter. He was recognized as the Wilson floor leader. Without having made a campaign of any kind, Past Grand Exalted Ruler Scott was nominated by Judge Edward W. Henry against Mr. Hueston. Mr. Scott was given a fine complimentary vote. When he saw that he would be defeated, he withdrew from the race and moved that the election of Mr. Hueston be made unanimous. As soon as Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson declared him elected, Mr. Hueston was given the floor and proceeded to nominate J. E. Kelley, of Birmingham, for grand secretary, Past Grand Exalted Ruler McMechen nominated Mr. Bates, asking for the favorable consideration by the Grand Lodge of his nominee, "who has proved faithful, honest and honorable." The tense moment came when Mr. Nutter, of Atlantic City, obtained the floor. His brother, T. Gillis Nutter, a past grand exalted ruler, had just seconded the nomination of Mr. Bates. The delegates sensed the dramatic. Mr. Nutter paced the platform, differing from his brother, and argued with the delegates as if they were a jury. He asked for the election of Mr. Kelley. When Kelley had been given 350 votes to 215 for Bates, Mr. Bates withdrew his name and asked that the election of Mr. Kelley be made unanimous. He promised his support to the newly elected secretary. Alderman K. K. Jackson, of Chicago, nominated James C. Martin for grand treasurer. Before permitting Mr. Carter to be nominated, Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson recognized Dr. Hudson D. Oliver, of New York, and Mr. Hueston. They seconded the nomination of Mr. Martin, W. B. F. Crowell of Roanoke, Va., nominated Mr. Carter. Dr. John Barkus, of Philadelphia, nominated Major R. R. Wright. Major Wright declined. He said that the "steam roller" of the grand exalted ruler was too well greased. Mr. Carter withdrew after the balloting had begun. Mr. Martin was leading by a large majority. WHERE IS DAVE TYNDALL? Mrs. Anna Marshall is very anxious to get in touch with her brother, Dave Tyndall. When she heard from him, about ten or more years ago, he was living in Richmond, Va. Any information concerning his duties will be greatly received by her at 10:06 Congress Street, Louisville, Ky. of the United States was appreciated by Perry W. Howard's white colleagues, who often proudly mentioned him as a living example of what the much abused State had done for this class and type of Negroes, who knew how to appreciate Southern rules and customs and to accord credit to the liberal-minded white elements in this section of the country, who had made such an achievement possible. As a result when the "carpet bagger" Hon. George L. Sheldon went up against Perry W. Howard and his southern white Republican friends in the Courts of Mississippi Howard and his friends won out. This was later confirmed by the Republican National Committee and later still by the Committee on Credentials and finally by the Republican National Convention itself. This would logically have ended the controversy. But Sheldon was not sat infiled. He had whispered into the ear of the distinguished Californian, Hon. Herbert Hoover and he in turn left the matter to one of his managers, it being understood that Sheldon was "a friend of the family." Berry W. Howard was entered upon the roster of the Republican National Committee. This gave him control of the campaign in Mississippi. People from this State, both white and black, know how to fight and Howard was no exception. Ex-Governor Sheldon, not being able to win by fair means proceeded to appeal to the court of unfair means. The blow was aimed, so to speak, "Below the belt." A harsh decision was not wanted, despite the positive command of Article VI of the Constitution of the United States. Another "carpet bagger" for a few days was imported in the person of THE MOSQUE THEATRE. (Special by John Mitchell, Jr.) They have an organist at the Mosque Theatre now who is reported to be practically blind. His name is Ferdinand Himmelreich. He succeeded one of the greatest pianists and organists in the country. My inquiry as to his ability to handle the great Wurlitzer organ in this magnificent playhouse, suffering as he was presumed to be from this handicap, was met with the invitation to come and hear him play. So on Saturday night, September 1st, despite the falling rain, I entered this palatial edifice and saw a slender, well built musician seated in the center of a blaze of golden light at the console, as the keyboard of this great musical instrument is called. Soon there flashed on the screen the announcement of that masterpiece, "William Tell," a most difficult musical selection, to be played by Ferdinand Himmelreich. The pipes in this great organ are on both sides of the stage opening. They are concealed by a golden lattice work through which the sounds are emitted. With as much ease as though he was handling an ordinary piano, Mr. Himmelreich proceeded. They came the surprising melody. I could hear the snare drum, the bass drum, the orchestra, the roll of the veritable artillery of the skies, while his fingers danced nimbly and skillfully from one bank of keys to the other. That Roll of Thunder Then came forth a veritable roll of thunder. Back of the footlights realistic lightness that was produced and I was led to believe that the steady falling rain on the outside had been followed by a regular storm of thunder and lightning. The audience was spellbound. Then came the knowledge that this effect had been produced by the master at the console and the artist manipulating the electric lights unseen, back or rather on the right hand side of the stage. The music had been made to attain such a volume as to apparently shake this great Mosque building. With the conclusion of the rendition came thunderous applause from the audience. Prof. Himmelreich gracefully arose and made bow after bow in a most bewitching and charming manner, showing his appreciation of the complimentary testimonial of all who had listened to his marvelous manipulation of the keys of this great Wurlitzer organ. The wonderful combination of lights by an unseen artist puzzled me. With a magnificent, rich cream-colored curtain as a background and the side decorations as a "dressing", he changed at will the colors of all of it and utilized every one shown in a rainbow. Words Fail Beautiful, lovely, grand, sublime, heavenly. All of these expressions supply the wealth of words needed to describe this showing by one who sat comfortably among the audience enjoying it all. I could now understand how and why I had been invited to come and hear Ferdinand Himmelreich in reply to my query. The Union Life Insurance Company of Virginia invites your patronage See Adv. on Page 8 Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt Assistant Attorney General of the United States. She assisted in having Perry W. Howard indicted for conspiracy; set the hearing for November 5, 1928 when she and Sheldon knew that the election was Tuesday. November 6, 1928. In the meantime an order was secured from Attorney General Sargent suspending Perry W. Howard from office and p.v. pending this hearing, presuming him guilty until he proves himself innocent, thus upsetting a fundamental principle of criminal law, which is as old as English jurisprudence itself. In the meantime, the Chairman of is in the embarrassing predicament the Republican National Committee of trying not to deal with the official Republican National Committeeman from Mississippi, and who occupies that position until he has been found guilty of crime before a vacancy can exist in the office held by him. In the meantime, Perry W. Howard announces to the world to use his exact language: "I have done no wrong. I have been merely accused as a result of an expire hearing. No one in public life is safe from accusations by his political enemies and all farm-minded Americans will throw around me the presumption of innocence until I have been proven guilty. I have no fear of the outcome of a trial in Mississippi." We agree with him. It is an issue between a black native Mississippiian and a "carpet-bagger" Nebraskan. In such a contest, Justice will be enthroned and a proper judgment be reached in short order. We would suggest that Hon. George L. Sheldon of Nebraska go on back home and permit the black and white Mississippiians to get along in peace To all who ask me about him my reply is, "That gentleman is a master." His impaired sight may be found in his finger tips. It was nearly a half century ago that I heard that musical black marvel, "Blind Tom." He was regarded as a world wonder in his deft handling of the piano by hearing alone. He could have sat down and listened to a master like Himmelreich and then be led away to the nearest piano and reproduce faithfully every one and effect that he had heard from the trained, educated individual who had just left, the keys. That Electric Light Artist Prof. Himmelreich is magnificently supported by Mr. C. W. Wilson, who in the manipulation of that intricate network of electric lights with the dome of the building as a starting point, has no equal in this section of the country and, so far as I know, no superior anywhere else. It is inborn and he takes pleasure in showing that God has given him power powers of Shanghai" followed. It was a combination of the sublime and the ridiculous, pleasing to all classes and serving to wind up an evening's enjoyment at this, the greatest playhouse now operating in all of this Southland. FIV and harmony together. This indictment business might well be considered in the nature of a joke were it not for the serious consequences to follow Perry W. Howard's persecution. Powerful Negro organizations throughout the country should resent it. More than ten million Negroes have this bone honest, able Negro leader to represent them on the Republican National Committee and they will see it at the ballot boxes in the States of the North and West that the blow aimed at them from this source shall be resented at the polls. Whether it will result in landing the "vote getting" Hon. Alfred E. Smith of New York or the able staistical Hon. Herbert Hoover of California in the White House of the Nation will be an after consideration. Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt may be fine on a whisky scent in the tracing of bootlegger, but she has shown absolutely no bloodhound ability in the trailing of Southern Negroes. She is wholly unable to tell the difference between an innocent Negro and a guilty one. We would suggest that Attorney General Sargent call her off and send her to the Canadian border or to the Florida shore line, where she may be able to tell the difference between a whisky shark and a prohibition blue fish.

A dog may eat meats all his life, and die of old age. The ox may do the same thing on vegetarian diet exclusively. But man is a very complex, highly-organized being, and requires wide variety to properly nourish his body. He must have both animal and vegetable food, properly balanced; meat is not the only animal food; all dairy products are animal. Fresh meats must be diminished, or eaten with great care during hot months. I saw a fat old man buying two pounds of fresh pork sausage the other evening, for his breakfast next morning. I bought ten cents worth of chipped beef—and I am a fat old man myself! I had as a lifelong swallow a hot fat iron on a warm morning as two or three "oats" of fresh sausage! Cured meats are preferable in hot weather; my reason for this belief is, the curing takes much of the nitrogenous element out of it, and leaves the lean cells, which are provided with enough blood-restoring elements to restore energies that have been in part exhausted by the daily toil. Meats, from the amount of combustion necessary to appropriate them to our needs, are heat-producers, and fresh meats produce more heat than cured meat. It requires more systemic outlay to digest fresh meats—more of potential energy; and this is a conducive to good feeling in hot weather. A moderate portion of cured meat, once a day, supplies the need of the body, and is much more comfortable. Another argument against excess of fresh meats is the strong juices in meats—those characteristic of the animal slaughtered—are hurtful if not inadaptable to the human body. The more of the native juices that are removed by curing, the better for us. --- A Portia in Knickers Miss Madeline Kaye, woman attorney, of Brooklyn, N.

Now, in the name of invalids and luxurious folk, a novel tray has been designed to fit over the knees, with its sides resting solidly on the mattress. The table top is broad and firm, and there are side pockets to hold the morning paper and personal items. You may have your choice of pink, blue, mauve, or pale green or ivory in these trays—and usually there is a delicate flower motif by way of additional decoration. A Satisfying, Well-Balanced Dinner Iced Honey Dew Cream of Potato Soup Cheese souffle with spinach Succotash Tomato and cucumber salad Brown Betty Non-stimulating drink Good Recipe for Baked Hash Use equal parts of diced cooked potato and cooked meat, chopped. Season well with salt, pepper, onion and a speck of bay leaf. Put in a well buttered pan, spread top with butter, add a cup of stock and bake for 45 minutes. When Washing the Coffee Pot Never use soap suds in cleaning the inside of tea or coffee pots. Rinse with scalding water and dry them. When the pot becomes badly discolored, fill with old water, add a tablespoon of borax and heat to boiling point. Rinse and you will find the discoloration has disappeared. Another Canning Hint When buying supplies for preserving, remember that sugar is sugar, whether made from Cuban cane, Canadian syrup or beets, just as eggs are eggs, whether laid by Rhode Island Reds or White Leghorns. Food value and cooking properties are exactly the same in each case. A "Byrd" Dog AUTOCASTER Muskeg, one of the sled dogs bound for the South Pole with Commander Pyrd's expedition.

"Very Latests" By Cecile So charming did the transparent velvet coats of summer make themselves that their near-relations—the Fall Velvets — are received with even greater enthusiasm for wraps and coats. The conservative model illustrated for us by Kathryn Crawford, a Universal star, is one of the most pleasing examples of these coats, developed in mauve transparent velvet with flattering collar and cuffs of chinchilla. It would be hard to devise a more luxurious combination of fur and fabric and still remain within the needs of the average wardrobe. Among other new velvet arrivals one sees great collars of fox used with wine-red velvet; a silver-tipped fox collar of one transparent velvet coat in the new blue was most effective; and again, grey fox was used, with the new blue. Rough Textures Dominate for Fall We are to have a season of rough fabrics, it seems, judging by the group of fabrics sponsored by Parisian designers. Particularly is this true when wool is used. The new woolens include a number of slanting, rib-like weaves, and ribbed fabrics that are most substantial looking, and several new silks present a grained or pebbly surface. Corsets of New Importance As frocks become more feminine in design, more and more attention the figure—so lately concealed by the straight-line boyish styles. Which is to say, the right girdle or corseit is of utmost importance. As the French corsets continue to arrive one remarks the almost total ploy elastic entirely instead of absence of boning. Usually these absence of boning. Usually these bones—however flexible. New Collars and Cuffs A scalloped collar and cuff set of velvet for the youthful frock of flat crepe is very smart just now. These sets may be of ivory or beige velvet blending in with the curtain wines and browns, or they may be self-toned, in a silk-ink shade than the silk.

Suddenly the household is shocked to find that John Drane has been accused of stealing the money by borne, the maid, then by Amy Drane and Simon Judd. The latter faints. Investigations begin. Dr. Blessington is called, and after seeing the murdered Drane, makes the astounding revelation to Amy Drane that she was the maid but was not Dr. Blessington discounts the theory of suicide, saying that Drane was definitely the murderer. Drane comments on the fact that all the sensitive documents hold of Drane are sick, and that Drane has no charge to serve for ill health. Drane is the detective, arrives to investigate the case. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY "Yes. Dr. Blessington made the examination; victim dead several hours, cause of death stab wound to heart. Suicide theory untenable, Dick, because the old lady couldn't have used so much strength. And there ain't no knife around, either, Dick. She's been murdered, all right. Well, the queer part is she's this old John Drane that's been living here, see? He was a she all the time, wouldn't it jar you?" Yes. Hang around. I'll just take a look or two." He went to the bed and looked down at the victim of the murder and, turning, surveyed the room. He walked across the floor and opened the door of the closet. Here hung many suits of men's garments, on proper hangers each on its own hook, while a dozen pairs of shoes stood in a neat row on the floor. He stood on a chair and examined the shelf, taking down several hats, looking into each and noting the makers' marks in them. He moved the hanging clothes and tapped on the inner wall of the closet. His next act was to open the door leading into John Drane's private bath. Here the walls were tiled to the height of a man and the porcelain tube was built in, as was the shower. The whole was immaculately white, as was the wall above the tile and the ceiling. On a glass shelf stood the few toilet articles any man might use—a safety razor in its gold-plated case, talc, bum, and so on. There was no opening out of the room except the door into the bedroom and a narrow window the lower part of which was in leaded glass. "The door wasn't locked, huh?" Brennan asked. "No. This maid Josie came up to call the old lady and when nobody answered she open the door and fainted. Door couldn't have been locked. It don't look like the old lady was expected to be killed, Dick, does it?" "Nothing stolen out of here that you've heard of?" "Not that I know of," the officer said. "We didn't ask. We waited for you." "All right!" Brennan said, going to the door. "I'm through here, I guess. You better telephone the coroner, Henry, and Joe--you look around for a knife or something. You might keep your hands off anything smooth, in case of fingerprints. Reach in under the mattress and around and anywhere you think a knife might be. Sometimes these killers shove things in under when they get a panic. I'm going down. What did you say the girl name was that saw in here first?" "Josie. But she ain't downstairs. She's in that room across the hall. She's got a weak heart and they took her in there to bring her to. There's an old dame with her--the housekeeper." "I'll see them," Brennan said. His interview with Josie in Amy's room yielded him, however, nothing we do not already know. "What you?" Brennan demanded Zella. "I don't know anything" Zella was down in the kitchen, along with George~he was the cha- lrier~ and Maggie Maney, the cook, and we heard Jake screaming and laughing as he could. She was fainted on the floor, and Mr. Judd, too—" "Mr. Judd? Fainted? Brennan "Mr. Judd? Fainted? Brennan asked. "Who's Judd?" "He's a visitor, a friend of Mr. Drane, I guess. He come last night and stayed over. He saw the blood and fainted!" "He reached the room before you did?" "Yes, but after Josie, didn't he, Josie? Josie was first, then Miss, Amy came—" "And who is Miss Amy?" "The grand-niece like of Mr. Drane—of her we thought was Mr. Drane," Zella explained. "Him and her was the family—the rest of us was just the help." "Then Josie was the first to open the door, and Miss Amy was the first to follow her, and then this Mr. Judd came. Who else after that?" "Norbert—he's the colord houseman. Mrs. Vincent—she's the housekeeper. Maggie Maney, the cook. George, the chauffeur. And He was holding her in his arms before he was aware he had intended to do any such thing. B WATSON FIFTH INSTALLMENT I came. We just stood at the door; nobody went in. "And about when was this?" "Around nine o'clock; maybe five or ten minutes after. Mrs. Vlencent sent Josie up because breakfast was ready and Mr. Drane hadn't come down yet." "Everyone else had?" "No; not Mr. Judd and not Mr. Dart—" Josie said. "Dart? What Dart?" "The undertake an man." Zella explained. "He's an old friend of Mr. Drane's and sometimes he comes to play cards and stays the night. He always has the blue guest room. But last night he didn't stay." "Not that I knew it," Josie interrupted, raising herself on her elbow. "I knocked on his door when I came up the first time. That was about half past eight. I thought—" she hesitated. "I thought he answered that time." "I see!" Brennan said. "You thought he was angry. What did thought he answered. What did MILTON HARRIS he say?" "I thought he said 'All right Yes!' or something like that. So then I went to. Mr. Judd's room and knocked and he said 'All right; I'm up.'" "But, that first trip, Mr. Drane did not answer." "No, sir, but I didn't think anything of it. Mr. Drane don't often have to be called; he always woke up of himself. I thought he was in the bathroom, likely, and would be down. I just knocked on his door and went on, sort of reminding him. The others I waited for an answer because they were guests, and guests ain't sure." "And the second time you can up you got no farther than Mr. Drane's door? You fainte there?" "Yes, sir: that's it." "Show me these two guest rooms," Brennan said to Zella, and she went with him, first to the yellow room Judd had occupied and then to the blue room with its untouched bed. Brennan looked around the rooms without much care, but on his way to the stairs he called the officer named Joe and told him to look into the two rooms carefully. Zella went back to Josie and Brennan went down to the lower floor. As Brennan reached the lower hall the screen of the front door was pulled open and a young man, his face betraying his excitement, came in, letting the screen slap shut behind him. The young fellow was almost breathless and his face was red from hurrying. As he saw Brennan he stopped short, "Oh!" he exclaimed. "I know who you are; you're the detective. I saw you—it was when our house was robbed and I was before the grand jury to tell what was stolen." "Yes. You're Robert Carter," Brennan said simply. "Seven three four Beech Avenue. You made a good witness. Your man went to the pen. You a friend here?" "Yes, Amy," young Carter said, reddening more. "We're — we would have been — engaged. I just heard of this awful business and I came as soon as I could. Is she—" "Eating breakfast, I shouldn't wonder, Brennan said. "Go right in, if it's the usual thing and you want to. I've been put on this case and I'tr. looking it over a bit." "If there anything I can do—" Carter suggested. "No; never mind that now," Brennan said. "I'll take it up with you if I need to. I want to talk to Miss Drane next and you can help me most by steadying her down if she's excited at all. Tell her I'm out here on the porch and will see her whenever she's ready. --- No hurry. Let her take her own time. Tell her it's nothing to be afraid of." "That's fine of you," Carter said, putting out his hand impulsively. "Brennan is the name," the detective said, shaking Carter's hand. "Trot along now." Bob Carter found Amy and Simon Judd finishing their breakfast and about to arise. Mrs. Vincent at her end of the table had eaten nothing, merely sipping tea, and her face showed she was still in great pain. Impulsively Amy arose and Carter entered, holding her in his arms before he was aware he had intended to do any such thing. "Oh, Bob, Bob! Isn't it dreadful? Amy cried as he tried to comfort her; 'If I didn't have you I wouldn't know what to do'." "Yes-well, you've got me all right, honey," he said. "Don't you take it so hard. It's bad enough, but you want to buck up. No good in letting it get you too hard. We'll stick it out together." He was holding her in his arms before he was aware he had intended to do any such thing. P E WATSON "It's so good to have you here, she said, wiping her eyes again, "I don't mean to break down. I'm trying to—to not." "That's the idea!" Carter agreed. "And now, look here, honey—there's a detective fellow out there wants to talk to you. Just don't let it worry you, that's all. He won't be rough; he's a nice sort. And we needn't go out until you're ready; he says he's in no hurry." "I'm ready now, Bob," she said. "You'll some, Mr. Judd." "Sure!" cried Simon Judd widely. "Burst thing you know. Detectives are the thing I want to see! I'm going to be one myself." "You'll see a good one—when you see this Brennan," Carter said. "None better." "That's the kind I want to see," said Simon Judd, and they went out to the veranda. Brennan arose as they appeared. "Miss Drane," he said. "And this would be Mr. Judy? My name's Brennan as Carter has probably told you. I've been put on this case. I've got to ask some questions of you, Miss Drane, but if there are any you don't care to answer in a crowd we'll leave them until later. No, you men need not go; I'd rather have you here—the young lady is less apt to be nervous. Let's sit down; we may as well be comfortable." They drew the chairs closer together. "I've had the officers make a search of three rooms to there," Brennan said. "Mr Drane's room—we'll call him that, or call her husband the room Mr. Dart was to occupy, and your room, Mr. Judd." "Suits me all right," Simon Judd said heartily. "Anything you do suits me; I'm going to be a detective myself, and the way you do it is what I want to see." "We'll talk that over later, then," said Brennan after a glance at the huge Westerner. "I don't support, Mia Drane, we'll find anything in those rooms that will mean nothing, although a man could tell you. We tailed to fosse and it tailed to tell me, and Zelia has told me her story. You, they say, were the second person to reach Mr. Drane's door. Just tell me why you went there and what you saw." Amy, folding and refolding her handkerchief, told what we already know. "Yes; nothing in all that," said Brennan. "Now, have you per- ment any reason to think any particular person killed—" He pointed toward the house with his thumb.
