THE RICHMOND PLANET Judge Parker's Enthusiasts Threaten Negroes In N. C.!! Big Inter-Fraternal Mass Meeting Held At Centralia, Va. An Epochal Event. VOLUME XLVII. No. 26 Judge Pa Big Inter-Frate At Cen A Union mass meeting of the fraternal organizations of Chesterfield County, Va., was held Sunday, April 27, 1930 at First Baptist Church Centralia, Va., of which Rev. C. A. Cobbs is pastor. The idea of this great meeting was born in the mind of Mrs. Rosa B. Wilkerson who is a great church and fraternal worker in her community. Putting her idea into action, she and her co-workers put over a program that has never before been realized in the history of fraternalism in Chesterfield County. Two services were rendered and each service was attended by crowds of enthusiastic and interested listeners from all sections of the county. Visitors were present from Petersburg, Richmond, Lynchburg, Portsmouth, Southampton County and New York. Mr. J. S. Long of Lynchburg conducted devotionals in the afternoon service. Speakers in the afternoon service were Sister Thos. H. Reid, G. C of Virginia K. of P.'s, Mr. Roscoe C. Mitchell, editor of Richmond Planet, Sir Thos. Newbie, G. K. of R. S of Virginia K. of P.'s, Mrs. Rowenia White, G. W. C of Virginia C. of C; Mrs. Mary W. Blake, D. W. G. C of Chesterfield, Mr. J. W. Thompson, Sec.-Manager of S. G. Lodge No. 6, I. O. G. S. an D. of S; Mr. A. B. Doles, C. G of S. G. Lodge No. 6, O. G. S. and D. of S; Mrs Ross B. Wilkerson Founded and President of Union Beneficial Club; Mrs J. P Crawley, county supervision; Rev F. Yates of Petersburg; Mr. I. Beverly, S. T. of N. I. B.; Mrs. Laura King of South Richmond. Va. After this service we were ushered into the old church building where a committee led by Mrs. Mary Blake and Mrs. E. Q. Brunley had prepared an elaborate dinner, of good, wholesome country cooked food, and all ate until their utensils were satisfied. Mr. W. L. Dean, V. G. C. of I. O. G. S. and D. of S. conducted evening devotionals. Speakers of the evening were Mr. J. A. Hines, Sec.Treasurer, Supreme Lodge of St. Luke. Mr. W. H. Layton, Home Deputy. St. Luke. Mrs. S. B. Cogbill S. Sec. N. I. B. S.; Mr. A. W. Holmes. S. G' M. of N. I. B. S.; Mrs. E. Q. Bromley, S. S. of Mosaic Templars of America; Mr Joseph Friend, S. A. G. M. of M. T. of A. The County High School Chorus furnished music for th e afternoon program and a i g h t i n g a l e, Mrs. Guther Cheatham. The lady ushers of Zion Baptist Church served us beautifully. Music for the evening session was rendered by the Choir of First Baptist Church. Centralia, in addition to a solo by the beloved and esteemed wife of our Pastor, Mrs. C. A. Cobbs, who is considered the orile of Fulton. This meeting was indeed an inspiration, and great benefit to all who attended. Souvenirs were presented the speakers by Mrs. M. W. Blake. An unusually fine art exhibit was staged at the Phyllis Wheatley Branch, Y.W.C.A., 515 North Seventh Street, last week by the Educational Department of the associations, Mrs. Mary E. Carter, chairman. Thirty-three local artists submitted work for the display. The exhibit created so much interest that a popular demand made it necessary that the exhibits be held for two days longer, to make it possible for several hundred additional people to see the work placed on display. The exhibits consisted of practically all forms of art work, with the possible exception of sculpturing. Included in the types of work placed on exhibition were portrait painting in oil, water color, penil and charcoal sketches, pen and ink drawing, landscapes, silhouettes, cone painting, pastels, painted places, clay modeling, china painting, textile painting, wood carving, hlaid furniture with intricate designs, and crayon drawings. A number of local white artists and critics who inspected the exhibits commended the work very highly and exposed the belief that some of the artists who had work on exhibition showed marked ability which would be able to give greater assertion through larger outlets with some additional training. The creative ability and imaginative powers of the artists were striking. The educational department of the Y. W. C. A. is gratified with the results of the exhibit. Workers Pledge To Wage Unified War On Lynching LEADERS IN WILLIAMS LODGE DRIVE FOR 1000 MEMBERS. K. B. Browne J. A. JONES President of Big Ten League Team in Big Ten League Campaign. A. E. Rosedale, Miss., April (CNA)—A gang of 200 white landlords and business men took Dave Harris, a Negro farm hand worker out into the country last night, tied him to a tree, and riddled him with bullets. Previous to the murder of Harris, the gangs had hunted him down in the Mississippi River swamps. He was accused of shooting a white farmer and fled knowing that no evidence of innocence would be accepted. Workers Ple Unified War (Crusader News Agency) New York, April—Denouncing the recent lynchings of J. H. Wilkins, Pullman porter, in Georgia, Robert Burney, Columbia, Ohio, Edward Pierson, Scotland, Ind., together with the legal attempt to lynch Anderson McPherson, in Kentucky, as part of an intensified drive against the working class, and particularly upon its most exploited section (the Negro workers) arising out of the present sharpening economic crisis in the United稻 masses(CNAmbmb mb mb mb States crisis of capitalism, the American Negro Labor Class, a statement issued today, calls upon the Negro masses to "participate boldly and in hundreds of thousands" in the May First demonstration" against unemployment, speed-up, wage cuts, part-time and imperialist oppression at home and abroad. "May Day," says the statement, "is the traditional day of celebration and demonstration of the international working class against the brutal exploitation of the bosses. It is the symbol of that solidarity of the world tailors which makes possible the emancipation of the Negro masses of the United States, the West Indies, Africa, etc. But Ex-Cop Confessed Murder Frame Up Fort Worth, Tex., April (CNA)—A deliberate murder of two Negro workers, Wilt Tate and George Terrell, by P. Boyt and John Alsup, former policeman, was revealed yesterday. The murder of the Negro workers was perpetrated by the ex-policemen and several other white police agents in order to collect a reward for dead bank bandits. The facts revealed by the district attorney's office show that Boyt and Alsup, the former official gunmen, induced the Negro workers to go through the motions of a bank hold-up. Boyt, Alsup and their friends then deliberately killed Tate and Terrell in order to collect $5,000 offered by the State Bankers' Association for the killing of any bank robber. P. Boyt confessed the frame-up and murder and is being held for trial, with the chances slim for conviction in view of the hatred of Negroes by the white master class which controls the courts. New York, April (CNA)—Meeting in Finnish Co-operative Hall last night, in Harlem, New York workers, Negro and white, denounced the lynching of the Pullman porter, Wilkins, and adopted resolutions pledging to fight on against the murder of workers. The meeting was called by the American Negro Labor Congress and the International Labor Defense. It was pointed out by speakers that an increasing number of lynchings are taking place now during the economic crisis, and that this is a form of terror visited on the most exploited section of the working class, to keep them from organizing and fighting for better conditions. It is worth noticing, the speakers pointed out, that only workers and farmers are lynched, and the speakers assailed the role of the reactionary organizations, whether Negro or white, which seek to block the hands of those who would fight lynching. Demand Harper's Release The sentencing of Sol Harper, an organizer for the American Negro Labor Congress, to three months for speaking for militant struggle against the lynchers brought condemnation from the meeting, not only for the capitalist order, that sentenced him but also for the Randolph clique in the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters who brought the charge against him. for that solidarity and the revolutionary temper of tens of millions of white workers it would be futile to talk of full equality, of self-determination, in the face of the superior armament and organization of the imperialist plunderers. May Day will be celebrated in practically every country in the world by large masses of workers and peasants who recognize their class interests and see behind the efforts of the ruling class, through its press, courts, schools, churches, etc., to split and weaken the class on lines of nationalism, race, color, etc. These revolutionary workers are the vanguard of the proletariat in the struggle tothrow the oppressive capitalist system. They are the hope, not only of the exploited masses in their own countries, but of the oppressed colonials of Africa, Asia, West Indies, Indonesia, etc. The workers and peasants of the colonial countries are, themselves, rising up against imperialism. The oppressed masses of China are continuing their struggle in spite of the combined attack of the imperialist powers. The toilers of India, rejecting the stupefying opium of Gandhi, are rising up in revolt. The exploited masses of Africa, of Continued on page four $2.00 PER YEAR; COPY, FIVE CENTS New York, April25. Latest developments in the nation-wide bitterly fought contest over the nomination of the anti-Negro Judge John J. Parker to the U. S. Supreme Court, include a telegram from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to the Governor of North Carolina, asking protection from Parker supporters for Negro citizens, threaten because they decline to endorse the Parker nomination. The North Carolina colored people are standing firm in their refusal to endorses the southern judge and say they will leave their homes before they will submit to coercion and endorse the man who urged in 1920 that the Negro was unfit to vote. Governor O. Max Garner of North Carolina, to whome the N. A. A. C. P. telegram was sent disclaimed knowledge of attempts to coerce Negroes but it is reported in newspapers despatches that "Republican workers" in Raleigh and other North Carolina cities are circulating "petitions" among Negroes. In making public the telegram to Governor Garner, the N. A. A. C. P. made it clear there was no reason for supposing that Judge Parker knew what was being done in his behalf or would countenance it, but the facts indicated the kind of backing the nomination was receiving. Joining in the protest against the Parker nomination are nineteen members of the social science faculty at Dartmouth College, in New Hampshire, who have petitioned Senators Moses and keys from that State to oppose the nomination. Meanwhile confidential reports reaching N. A. A. C. P. from Washing and elsewhere state that the Hover Administration is straining every nerve to jam through this appointment despite nationwide opposition. Miniature Golf Course Opens In Richmond The first miniature golf course for colored people in Richmond, consisting of 18 holes, will be opened next week between Clay and Leigh on 3rd Street by the Outdoor Sports, Inc.

Scott - Hawkins Faction Calls Conference One Killed, Many Hurt In Crash Pittsburgh, Pa., April (CNA)—One man was killed and seven injured, including four whites, when falling slate crashed upon a man trip entering the Arnold City mine in Fayette county, owned by the Pittsburgh Coal Cmpany. The dead man is Ed. Armstrong, a 32-year-old Negro miner of Arnold City. Three of the injured are not expected to live. Loose slate had been hanging in this mine for a long period, endangering the lives of miners daily, but the company refused to have it removed, or to timber the roof. This adds to a long list of disasters in the mining industry since the smashing of the 1927 coal strike which, with the aid of the United Mine Workers of America, resulted in the complete open shop mines, subjecting the miners to the dangerous conditions of safety. Measures which the coal operators pretend to install, prove to be ballyhoo in these open shop mines, in which miners are murdered by the hundreds. The National Miners' Union is organizing the miners to fight against such conditions to compel the operators to make the mines safe for miners to work in. To check the profits of the coal operators, and exposing the miners to the most dangerous working conditions. E. E. Pratt, Dr. E. P. Roberts, Colonel William Jay Schie琳, Prof. W. R. A. Seligman, Miss Elizabeth Walton, Miss Carolena Wood and Mr. L. Hollingsworth Wood. The speakers will be Edwin R. A. Seligman, Professor of Political Economy at Columbia University, New York City, and first President of the National Urban League, and president of the John Editor of PITTSBURGH COURIER. The toastmaster will be L. Hollingsworth Wood, present President of the National Urban League. LYNCH 50-YEAR-OLD WORKER Walhalla, S. C., April (CNA)—On the same day that a Mississippi mob of white planters lynched Dave Harris on the charge of shooting a white boy of 17 years, a South Carolina mob of planters and business men dragged Allen Green, 50-year-old Negro worker, from the Washington, May (By the Associated Negro Press)—Meeting in response to a call signed by John R. Hawkins, financial secretary of the African Methodist Episcopal Church and chairman during the last national campaign of the colored voter's division, some twenty persons selected from various sections of the country met in the A. E. headquarters here Friday, April 28 for a meeting of officers and luncheon during which they formed the National Negro Republican League. Mr. Hawkins, who was elected chairman of the new body which it is hoped to expand into national proportions, explained the purpose of the gathering after detailing the fine record which the colored division had made under his leadership during the late campaign. He attributed general apathy among colored Republicans of the country because of "the seeming indifference of the party toward Negroes." Mr. Hawkins told of the futile effort he had made to secure the consent of former chairman, Hubert Work, and present chairman, Claudius Huston, of the Republican National Committee, to the continuance of the colored division. Despite Mr. Hawkins' voluntary offer RICHMOND, VA., SATURDAY, MAY 3, 1930 WILLIAMS LODGE'S EXALTED RULER JULIAN JONES Commissioner in Pennant Race Between Teams Representing American and National Lengues in MK Drive for One Thousand Members.

Green had been armed with a charge of attempting to attack an 18-year-old Oceano County girl. Such charges are being made with increasing frequency against Negro workers who show the least resistance against the economic and racial oppression to which they are subjected by the white ruling class. The sheriff, John Thomas, gave the usual co-operation to the mob to serve as chairman, the Republican National Committee turned a deaf ear to even the slenderest budget. Visits to the White House were equally futile from the standpoint of seeing the chief executive while letters and programs brought no action. Finally, Mr. Hawkins, Dr. Emmett J. Scott, and Judge James A. Cobb carried the discontent of the colored division to Postmaster General Walter F. Brown of Toledo, generally recognized as a spokesman of the administration on affairs relating to people of color. Mr. Hawkins said that the present gathering had been brought about with Mr. Brown's sanction. Mr. Brown reported to have felt that a representative group of colored Republicans voicing a protest and asking for recognition might receive some consideration. Brown is said to have suggested that all the representative Negro Republicans of the country be invited. While the conference was at first reported as a revival of the colored voters division, Mr. Hawkins informed a reporter that it was not so much a calling together of the former division as it was of mobilizing of leaders who resided in States where Negroes had votes which counted and where these leaders could influence those votes.

Starving to death he forced his way into the bakery in hopes of finding something to eat. His presence was discovered by police who took him out, by him three times, and then beat him to death. In order to excuse themselves the police attempted to claim that Burney died as a result of eating poison dough. Another story circulated by the police claims that Burney ate dough which swelled up in his stomach and caused his death. The bakers claim, however, that at that time there was no dough in the bakery and therefore his death could not have been due to that cause. Witnesses claim that they saw Burnel taken out of the bakery, shot, and beaten to death. They further testify that he begged for mercy while he was being beaten.

Simple as they were, they have puzzled some of our readers so the following solutions should be closely studied: Answer to Problem No. 6 (a) If hearts are trumps and Z is in the lead, how can Y Z win one trick against any defense? (b) If hearts are trumps and either A or B is in the lead, how can A B win all of the tricks? (a) Solution: Y Z can win one trick by the lead of the eight clubs by Z. Y should trump with the queen of hearts. B must over-trump with the ace so that Z must now make the jack of hearts. (b) Solution: If either A or B is in the lead, hearts should be led and won in A's hand with the king. A can then Answer to Problem No. 7 There are no trump and Z is in the there are no trump and Z is all of the tricks against any defense. **Solution:** Z should lead the ten of hearts and discard the eight of spades from Y's hand. Z should now lead the deuce of spades and A is forced to discard. If he discards the six of diamonds, Y should discard the nine of clubs and Y's ace of diamonds and Z's jack of diamonds will thus win the balance of Answer to Problem No. 8 Hearts — none Clubs — J, 2 Diamonds — K Spades — J : Y : : A B : : Z : Hearts — 9, 2 Clubs — 4 Diamonds — A Spades — none Hearts — 7 Clubs — Q, 6 Diamonds — ♥ Spades — none Clubs are trumps and Z is in the lead. How can Y Z win three of the four tricks against any defense? Solution: Z should lead the nine of hearts and discard the king of diamonds from Y's hand. Z should now lead the ace of diamonds. A should trump this trick with the ten of clubs and Y should over-trump with the jack. Y should now lead the jack of spades and no matter what B plays, Y should now lead the jack of clubs. If at trick two A refuses to trump the ace of diamonds, Y should trump with the deuce of clubs and lead the jack of spades. B can either trump with the queen of clubs, in which case Y's jack of clubs is good, or trump with the trey of clubs, in which case Z over- Answer to Problem No. 9 Hearts — K Clubs — none Diamonds — none Spades — Q, 4 : Y : : A B : : Z : Hearts — none Clubs — none Diamonds — K Spades — K, 7 Hearts — Q Clubs — none Diamonds — none Spades — A, 2 Spades are trumpa and Z is in the lead. How can Y Z win two of the three tricks against any defense? Solution: Z should lead the deuce of spades. If A plays the trey of spades, Y should play the four. If A plays the ten of spades, Y should play the queen. In either case, B is forced in the lead, either with the seven or king of spades. He must win this trick or Z Y will win and be able to win. Having won this trick, B can lead either a spade or a diamond. If he leads the spade, Z wins the trick with the ace and Y's king of hearts must win the next trick. If B should lead the king of diamonds, Z should discard the DO YOU KNOW THESE? DO YOU KNOW THESE? Please try to locate my boy. He left home on the 2nd of this month. I heard he was stranded in Richmond. When he left home he was wearing a light camel hair coat, a pink shirt, brown hat and a pair of worn patent leather shoes. He is tall, slender, light color boy, 18 years old. He has a good job here at the art gallery. The man is going to give him if he remains. He hasn't done anything here to be arrested for; I just want him to come home. His name is Harvey Coulter Lewis. Please notify me at 1806 Fifteenth Street. N. W., Washington, D. C. --- --- Hearts — K Clubs — 7 Diamonds — J, 10 Sadades — nong Hearts — 3 Clubs — A Diamonds — K, 6 Sneakers — 6 Hearts — 10 Clube — 10 Diamonds — none Spades — 6, 8 Hearts — none Clubs — Q Diamonds — none Spades — 10, 3 Dear Sir: Hearts — A, 10, 4, 3 Clubs — none Diamonds — none Spades — none lead either the ten of diamonds or seven of clubs which B should trump with the four of hearts. B should then lead the ace of hearts, dropping 2'z jack and thus enabling B to win the balance of the tricks. This end play was given to show the importance of the lead. Very frequently it is worth a trick or more to have one hand or the other in the lead, so be careful to figure out in advance, if possible, whether or not it is advantageous to obtain the lead yourself or allow your partner or an opponent to do so. Hearts — 2 Clubs — none Diamonds — 9, 7, 5 Spades — none the tricks. If A discards the ace of clubs, Y should discard the trey of diamonds and Y will thus win the balance of the tricks. No matter what A discards at trick two, Y Z can win the balance of the tricks. This end play is given to show the importance of forcing the opponents to discard. Very frequently tricks can be gained by so doing. Hearts — 7 Clubs — Q, 8 Diamonds — 9 Spades — zone trumps with the four of clubs. In either case Y Z must therefore win three tricks. This end play is given to show the necessity at times of trumping your partner's tricks in order to get into an advantageous position yourself, or to place your partner in that position. For example, suppose at trick two both A and Y refused to trump the opponent. In that case, Z can lead a trump or the deuce of hearts, the former, A B must win two trump tricks no matter how Y plays. If Z leads the deuce of hearts, A should discard and no matter which trump Y plays, B can over-trump and thus enable A B to win two tricks. Note this end play carefully for it is a tricky one. queen of hearts and A is forced to trump. As J just overplayed A's trump on the first trick, he can still do so no matter what was played on the first trick. As a result Y must thus win trick two and Z's ace of spades must win trick three. In this way Y Z must win two of the three tricks. This end play is given to show the importance of throwing one opponent in the lead so he is forced to lead a suit to his disadvantage. Other end plays will be given from time to time, but the best way to profit from these example hands is to be on the lookout for opportunities in actual play. Paterson, N.

(Herbert Photos) "Old Man of the Seas" Appears to Passengers Aboard the Leviathan 90 IMPORTANCE OF THE PRINTED PROC With many of Fashion's recent problems definitely settled we survey the horizon with an eye to Fashion in general—only to find that this is obviously to be a "Printed Season." Dresses for every hour of the day, whether silk, cotton or rayon, feature charming colorful designs with a decided leaning toward the small patterns, either widely or closely spaced. In a recent interview in New York with Lane Bryant, the country's greatest specialist in slenderizing Fashions for Stout Women, we learn that prints are unusually kind to the stout figure because they tend to diminish the effect of size and give the figure a more compact and graceful line. That is why she is featuring them in her style book which she sends free on request to all stout women everywhere. Charmingly printed frocks like those pictured have been heartily endorsed by the 800,000 stout women all over the country who order from her by mail. It is therefore safe to say that printed frocks must play an important part in every well-planned Spring and Summer Wardrobe.

CHICAGO—Passengers aboard the ocean eater Leviathan on its recent voyage to Europe do not have to stretch their imaginations very far in thinking that they have had a feeting glimpse of the "old man of the seas." In fact, Hans Bilsten of voerde, a statuteholder, bumper manufacturer in Germany, who was one of the Leviathan's passengers, photographed the "old man" by accli- dent, and his snapshot is shown as convincing proof of their claims. Mr. Blisten sent the strikingly unusual photograph to Carl J. Metzger of Houdaille-Hershey Corporation, whose guest he was on a tour of the company's spring bumper cars throughout the East and Central West. The photograph is attracting widespread interest, said Mr. Metzger.

Lake Louise is in Alberta, Canada. 45 miles from Banff, one of the best known resorts in the world.

WHAT THE WORLD Let us all be noble builders, For we're climbing day by day; Let the ladder which we're climbing. Cause us not to fall or sway. Do not hesitate in building, Build a tower that all may see; Let it not cause one to stumble And fall back on bended knee. I will tell you how to start it, Tell the truth wherever you go, Help the poor and cherish the lonely, Speak kind words to friend and foe. Do not make no one discouraged, If they're trying to do their best; Though their way seems long and dismal, Be no stumbling block or pest. Tell them that the way is open To the ones that will adhere; Try to make them all intrepid, Let them not be full of fear. If we'll do the things commanded, Wouldn't we be considered great; We would be an architect that's Worth existing through the state. So from this day let's start building, For it's easier when we're young; Do not wait until tomorrow, We'd have waited then too long. Now I'll leave this to you hearers, And I'm sure you'll all take heed; To the things I've said before-hand, For good architects we need.

P A determined effort is being made to organize a branch of the National Association for the Advancemen to Colored People in Richmond. A novel method is being used to build up a strong unit of this very useful organization. The various organizations of Richmond are asked to take out membership and send representatives to the meetings. Instead of being composed of individual memberships, the branch will be made up of organizations here. By Frank R. Crosswaith An Army of Americans unemployed; an army variously estimated as between four and five millions. Many of these homeless, foolish men not so long ago were told to "work or light" to make the world safe for Democracy; they obeyed, all we obeyed. An Industrial Depression born of the avarice and greed of man, nurtured by the gods of capital who have no heart, who shut their eyes to the woe, and poverty that now lifts up its voice in steadily swelling volume, and who stubbornly refuse to recognize the stark, tragic necessity that steadily lenghtens the bread-lines in our big cities, that bring quick death to babies for want of milk the agonized mother can no longer buy, and that drive strong men, now desperate and frenzied, into the shamores of crime, which is their last ditch. Self-preservation! That is their law, and the only one to which they may now subscribe. They know that a deliberate, concerned and ghoulish attempt has been made to snake them down—starve them into condition of hepeless. I. During the summer session the Norman Kennington Company will publish "Modern Advanced English Grammar" and "A Simplified Review of Grammar" by Thomas Desire Pawley, A.B., Amherst, A.M. Harvard, Head of the English Department of the Virginia State College. II. The first book is different from many other texts of English Grammar now available for use in that it is especially adopted for use in high school, normal school and college instruction. III. The style of the book is fresh and animated. The subject matter is brought up to modern times and includes newly coined expressions and idioms which form an essential part of modern everyday usage. It will be attractive to both teachers and students because of the method approached, the use of modern idioms, skillful handling of prepositions, and the intensive study of verbs and sentence construction.

But the attempt is meeting with resistance. Demonstrations in New York and in other big cities, have challenged an engraved public opinion; ripped away the curtain of so-called "prosperity" and exposed to the naked eye the tragic phase of what is now known as "technological unemployment," the extent of when, for years, has been caretfully obscured from a recently awakened and questioning public opinion. The Best Brains, so-called, of the capitalist system, from Hoover to Henry Ford, representing the master class on the one hand, and Wm. Green of the American Federation of Labor, to the Knights of Columbus representing the masses on the other hand, each advancing theories intended to destroy this plague of unemployment, have run the whole gamut of the problems but they are not those in order, organized social mind that has concentrated on this problem and delved to the bottom of it. Every plan so far advanced by them is aimed to strike at the erects and not at the cause of unemployment. that it contains ejercises which make possible objective measurements when are in keeping with practical practice in education. "A Simplified Review of Grammar" by the same author lends itself to the requirements of the elementary and secondary level. It is also useful in the intensive courses for adults in summer schools. It is written in the same charming style of the first book. It is also useful in the diagram system which involves a visual method of correcting the most prevalent faults in oral and written English. The writing of textbooks is a new departure for Negro people. professor raewley's book represents a pioneer euror which should be encouraged for two reasons: first, because it represents creative euror, a phase of Kace development which has been neglected; second, because Professor raewley is tuted by training and experience to do a scholarly piece of work in this field. The Administration, Va. State College. A They Read the PLANET every week to find what's going on at the Churches. Amplifier goes from church to church AT SIXTH MT. ZION LAST SUNDAY Mr. Churchman: "Boulevard 7-5-2-5-W, please." Amplifier: "Hullo! Hullo! Hello, amplifier at the phone; who is this?" Churchman: "This is Mr. and Mrs. Churchman speaking." Amplifier: "Ah, I know who you are now. You called me some time ago I was thinking of you last week. What do you wish to know this time brother churchman?" Churchman: "Well, just things along the same line about the services at various churches. Where did you attend services last Sunday, April 2th?" Amplifier: "I worshiped at the Sixth att. Zion Baptist Church here. Whose pastor is the rev. Dr. A. W. Brown." Churchman: "I-C. Did Rev. Brown preach; kindly give me a little synopsis of his sermon." Amplifier: "Now brother churchman, I will not be able to give you as much information as you may desire at this time because of other engagements pending, nevertheless, the services thruout the day were very impressive." Sister Churchman: "Say, you have not told my hubby anything at all about the preaching; remember I'm at this phone with him listening also. What did Brother Brown preach about?" Amplifier: "Oblige, Sister Churchman I didn't have the least idea that you were sitting at the telephone listening too. That it is quite difficult to talk with two persons over the phone at the same time. Your hubby, no doubt, clearly understood that our conversation was not concluded. It appears that your hubby has the MOUTHPIECE and you have the RECEIVER, why don't you take both parts of the phone?" Amplifier: "The pastor came forward, and made some helpful remarks; after which, he gave us the outgushing of his soul. Using for his text Revelation 1:10. Subject, 'SPIRITUAL VALUE'. (At this point, the pastor was slightly interrupted by an aged sister, who was taken ill. Dr. Newman was present, so the excitement soon subsided); Words, "I was in the Scrippt on the Lord's day, etc. Please find it and read it." Churchman: "Umm, wish we had heard him. If nothing prevents well certainly be there next Sunday." Amplifier: "Yes, Rev. Brown handled the subject with ability and thought that inspired the multitude which was there to become more spiritually elevated. This sermon stirred the audience to a degree of spiritual uplift. It was brim-full of first-hand information, and quite applicable was it, to the needs of the people. 'Amen! Hailuijah! Preach His word! Glory! Glory, were cries of men and women, old and young." Churchman: "I see that it was a high day at Zion. Did the choir sing as well as usual?" Amplifier: "Verily, Verily, I say to you, that the choir furnished some very sweet music. This the junior choir, directed by sister Eloise Shelton, is due much praise and comment for their excellent service." Sister Churchman: "Did they ask for any collection; I have a reason for asking you that question? Tee-hee." Amplifier: "Now sister Churchman, why ask me such unreasonable question. Certainly, they asked for collection. Why not?" Sister Churchman: "Well, simply because I thought the brethren were so full of the spirit that they forgot to ask for any money, "A-h-e-m." Amplifier: "You thought no-such of a-thing. Remember they have a system—they ask for the collection before preaching. Therefore, when the spirit ARISES the money is RAISED and out the way. See they play safety-first. It was, in the morning, $105.00." Churchman: "Did they have splendid night service; tell us about it, if not intruding?" Amplifier: "At 8 P. M., the service (Hello! Hello!) Churchman: "Operator says our time is out. We'll call you up again next week. Good-bye." NOTE: Be sure to get the PLANET and see what the Amplifier has to say.

Ariz., and was buried in said city with Masonic honors, March 29, 1930. What man is he that liveth under the clouded canopy of stardecked heaven and snail not see death. Man born of woman, is of a few days. He cometh tothr as a flower and is cut down; the number of his days are determined; the number of his months are with the Almighty God, who has appointed his bounds that he cannot pass. On March 22, 1930, Past Master Richard Davis of Charity Lodge No. 25, A. F. and A. M., of the city of Richmond, Va., was caused from labor to reward; to appeal before the Supreme Court; to observe to see if erected agreeable to the rules and designs laid down upon the trestle board in the Great Book of nature and Revelation. Past Master Richard Davis was one of the charter members of Charity Lodge for more than twenty-five years. He was true and faithful to his trust, and lived in Love and died in Peace with his brethren. Past Master Richard Davis demeaned himself as a real upright Mason, having walked upon the Masonic Pavement, under the rays of the Blazing Star and its beautiful surroundings; and deeply impressed with the lodge furniture, jewels, tenents and Perfect Points; all of which seemed to have had the desired effect upon his life. He embraced the Christian religion; was baptized and joined the church. Past Master Richard Davis, while standing on the third step, as the last one of the oldest Masses of the city of Richmond, enjoyng the happy reflections, consequent upon a well spent life. He was cut down by the scythe of time and launched into eternity; into the land where many true brethren have gone before him; that bourne where no companion returns. He is now confined in yonder borders, remaining there for further orders. His bones are dust, His good sword rust; His spirit is with His God, we trust. The body of our deceased brother, Past Master Richard Davis has been consigned to the grave in Phoenix, Arizona; there to remain until the general resurrection. We bow in/humble submission to the will of God, who doth all things after the counsel of His own wisdom; and we pray Almighty God, of His infinite goodness to comfort his family and the hearts which have been stricken by this affliction and to extend His saving mercy to us.

However, they were united in the holy bonds of matrimony by Rev. H. E. Williams of this city and afterward were the guests of Mr. William F. Coles. Having someone and something to fight for now, why shouldn't Mr. Godfrey claim the heavyweight title? Motor Trips— Messrs. W. F. Coles, S. R. Wilson and Miss B. C.

Hampton Prepares For Field Meet May 3 Great interest is being shown in the track and field meet this year. Judging from the entries sent in by schools and the large number Hampton Institute, Va., April 28 of entrants, this will be one of the largest meets held at Hampton. Colleges entered so far are Virginia Union, Howard, Lincoln, North Carolina A. & T. College, Cheyney State Normal, and St. Augustine. Today's mail is expected to bring in entries for Virginia State and Morgan Colleges. For the high school division, entries have been received from the following schools: B. T. Washington High School, Norfolk; Dunban f.Washington, D. C.; Bordentown, b.Washington N. J.; Manasquan Va. b. Princeton Academy Princess Ann Md.; St. Joseph's High School, Norfolk, Va., and I. C. Norcom High School, Portsmouth, Va. A few of the standing records should be broken. Williams of Hampton, who won second place in the javelin throw at the Pennsylvania Relay Carnival, with a throw of 191 feet, nine and one half inches, should set a new meet mark. Clapp of Virginia State College should better his discuss record. There are some fast men this year entered in the 440-yard run, and from all indications this record should fall! In the mile relays there are three teams that won their events at the Penn Relays, two in the collegiate division and one in the scholastic. Lincoln won its event in the fast time of 3m 27 5-10s. Judging from this Lincoln's relay team is 4-10 of a second faster and should best the Hampton team by that mrigin. Morgan College ran a wonderful race in the Penn Relays, finishing in third place and should give a good account of itself. Bordentown should furnish the thriller in the high school division. This school won its event in the Penn Relays. After the meet the visiting track enthusiasts will have an opportunity to attend Bay Shore where they may dance and discuss the exciting events of the day. HONOR ROLL OF 1929 SHOWS SMALL DECREASE IN LYNCHING WITH 43 STATES FREE OF THE EVIL New York, April 27.—In its Knoxville Wins Twice From Bluefield Inst. Knoxville, Tenn., April 25. — Knoxville College opened a somewhat belated baseball season by twice defeating Bluefield on the local diamond Tuesday and Wednesday, April 22 and 2. Scores were 6-1 and 8-1. While Knoxville has a young team early indications are that it is one of the strongest in the south. For pitchers Knoxville used Hobson and Cheatham, each one carrying through the whole game. Bluefield was weakest in the pitching box and Knoxville men were able to get good hits whenever they were needed. Weather for the games was cold and probably slowed up the playing a little as only a fair-sized group of fans was on hand to see the teams cross hats. In the first game Bluefield started off with a "bang" and was able to score one run in the first inning, but it proved to be the only score for the visitors. Knoxville scattered her scoring through several innings in the first game. In eighth annual Honor Roll of States free of lynching, the Commission Race Relations of the Federal Council of Churches shows that forty-three States had a clean record in 1929. While this number shows no increase over 1928, when 43 States were similarly recorded as free of the lynching evil, it shows a decided increase in comparison with the second year of the keeping of the Honor Roll, 1928, when only 39 States were free. The Honor Roll shows a total of ten lynchings during 1929. New Mexico, which dropped from the Roll in 1928, has been restored, and Florida, Kentucky and Tennessee have been removed because of lynchings in 1929. The number of lynchings for 1929 shows a reduction of one since 1928, when trache were eleven victims. Of the ten persons lynched in 1929, four were in Florida, one each in Kentucky and Tennessee, one in Mississippi and three in Texas. Three of the victims were white and seven Negro.

The weather was ideal, cool, sunny, and bright, just the kind to make ones clothes show. The P. P. P.'s gave an Easter dance and fashion show at the B. of P. Hall on Monday night which was quite a brilliant affair. Miss Lilly Bell Pettigrew won the prize as Miss Lexington, the best dressed girl. Rev. I. H. Carpenter preached an Easter sermon in the morning. Rev. Goodgame, the newly elected pastor of the Baptist Church preached morning and night. In the afternoon Mrs. Rowland gave a religious pagan, entitled the "Unshadowed Cross." All these services well attended. Mrs. Mayme S. Jones, her sons and mother, Mrs. Sarah Aayres, motored to Lynchburg Easter Sunday to visit relatives. On Easter Monday, Mrs. Jones and Mrs. J. M.

SE Grounds to Give Free Instructions eek Every country has its national sport. In America baseball seems to be the greatest and most beloved sport, and millions of dollars are spent each year to foster this great American game. In this great game are ars eos players that are so good and draw such a crowd when they are playing the question of salary is only a matter of "how much you want." Bab eRuth, the king of home run hitters draws a salary greater than the President of the United States. The Negro, since he makes of the population of this country, also draws his attention to this game, but like in other lines of endeavor is never given the chance to show his real worth in this great game, and no matter how good he is can never demand the money the white players can. John McGraw, one of the greatest men in organized baseball said more than once if certain colored players were white he would give most anything for them. Now in England the most popular game in cricket, and therefore most of the colored people who live under an english flag have etaken a liking to this game. In the West Indies islands can be found many colored stars in this game. Among them is the great St. Edwin Hill. The above cartoon drawn by Mr. Little, the famous Paramount Sport Cartoon Artist, gives you an idea of what colored cricket players are doing. Mr. Austin the greatest authority on cricket claims that h e i s one of the best men, colored or white, in the game. I know that there are very few scores in this country that know more about this game, an dtherefore are not interested in a Star Cricket player but it is good to know that there is a colored star to be found playing this game. St. Hill is an all-round cricket player and an up-date bowler. He is always ready to play a cricket team. I would say more concerning the great cricket player, but I fear the interest you may have in such a game is very small, and to write a lengthy article on cricket in America is like putting kerosene on cottage pudding for sauce.

Williams, whose recent purchase of homes in a "select neighborhood" of Yonkers roused the white bourgeois to a furious protest, have announced their willingness to sell out for a "good bonus" the right of Negroes to live where they please. The announcement was made by their lawyer, John A. Ross, of 111 John Street, Ross, who is also a member of the same treacherous Negro petty bourgeois group, declared that Dr. Collymore had previously refused an offer to sell and get out at a price which would have netted him a profit of $2,000 on his investment with Collymore and Williams to sell now ready, he declared, to sell at "a good bonus" on their investments in the two $15,000 houses. At about the same time Ross was making his announcement, a committee of white bourgeoisie, including a minister and several lawyers, were calling on Dr. Collymore. They were received by S. R. Morsell, a Negro Y. M. C. A. secretary who was recently brought from Pittsburgh by the white bourgeoisie to organize a Jim-Crow Y. M. C. A. in White Plains. Morsell's attempt to convince the committee of white Christians of the "brotherhood of all men in Christ" had only one result and that was a meeting of the White Plains discharges of who to do. Morsell considered what to about Morsell. The decision of the directors was not made public, but it is highly probable that the presence of Morsell in Dr. Collymore's house will result in the selection by the white bourgeoisie of another Negro tool to organize their Jim-Crow Y. M. C. A. In the meantime, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which shows marked reluctance in intervening in situations where Negro workers are involved, celeres itself' ready to back the two professionals but invites them to stay" even though it admits "there are human rights more valuable than property values."

By JAMES A. JACKSON EET the Racketeers! Meet the M. fellows “who toil not, neither do they spin,” but who have dedi- eated their mental capacities to collect- ing the living that the world is alleged to have owed them, without rendering any compensating service. Rack- eteers are legion, and Chica- go is the stamping ground of as many of them as may be found in any city in the land, New York, the home of the big money “Boob” alone be- ing excepted. - The term “racketeer,” is the successor to the former word “Hustler,” and the ‘word is without gender. Its -devotees are of both sexes. They combine all the arts of the one time grafter, the fair ground “shilliber,” and what was once called the “Fakir” by those of us sophisticated enough to realize when we had been trimmed. The discipline of the racketeer, his battle song and his whole busi- ness policy are fabricated upon the belief that a “Sucker is born to be trimmed, and the trimmer might as well be me as some other bird.” ‘They Like It “One Legged John,” for years an operator of games at the country fairs onze said succinctly, “Folks go out to spend so muek money for fun. The kick of losing their money is the big thrill of the year to most of then.

Virtually every phase of the business is dis- tinct from the others with the ex- ception of two possible points in common. These points are, first. the almost certain need of exercising a cunning that virtually amounts to a breach of confidence; second, the further certainty that without some degyee 0: protection from those charged with enforcing the law, or, at least, the complacent indulgence of the legal authorities, the racketeer and the ladies dependent upon his fi- nancial and moral support would not thrive. Found Everywhere There are variations galore, but the fundamentals of the racketeers remain the same. The old time driftin. carnival, and the medicine show were all, more or less, travel- ing rackets. The former was a com- bination of every money getting de- vice, combined with organization to make the efforts of the individual worker more effective. These were in.a class by themselves.

The carnival grafter behind the, little table with the “three balls” is as successful with his particular racket as the boot- iegger. It is a game which is sup- posed to draw its recruits from the country “hicks,” but there is good reason to believe .that the city man too, has lost his share unwarily to this old fashioned.racketeer. And the game still goes on. % a ap ee PSS de) lien ee : a eS bs Pe OES sod ites eRe eS comme OIL cs Tae him, we aave with us always. We mect Lim in the innocent looking smoke shop, in the employment agency that covers a clever resort for recruiting the human mills of vice in the distant manufacturing towns, the patent medicine cure-all with an appropriated foreign name, the bootlegger, whose activities are concealed beneath a cenontaae of respectability, and the operator of even more horrible institutions, All are racketeers. The “Numbers” The dominant racket 0. today is the “numbers” game. Strong is no name cor this thing in-which the public is literally pouring millions of hard earned dollars, Nothing is passed up. pennies, nickels, dimes and dollars all go into the aggre- gate upon which these concealed racketeers feed. It is said eae tae game was introduced into NeW York by a Cuban. Be that as it may, it is known that the first operators there were Negroes. This, too was true of Chicago and some other large cities. But ‘ike all things of a commer- cial character. just as soon as “numbers” became Big Business, others more familiar with the hand- ling of money machinery became interested and through superior in- telligence, bolder moves, the pur- chase of immunity for themselves and th? buying of authoritative persecution for the Negro pioneers,. these folk now command the game in most cities a Bankers Can't Lose Who are they? How do I know? They remain well concealed behind a veritable army of collectors, sub agents, district depositories, run- ners, and auto scouts. They are barricaded behind more movable of- fices than there were types of large guns i1 the World War. Those peripatetic officials may not be found in the same place for more than a few days; and mere custom- ers never learn the location of the financial centre of the wep in which they and their pennies are en- meshed. The odds, if paid, are 600 to 1; while the odds if legitimately ap- plied should be 1000 to 1. Not a bad difference. Yet from this the collector. when he does pay. with- holds ten per cent for services. Should “hits” be too plentiful for the receipts of a given dav pay- ments are suspended, for no rack- eteer ever gives from the surplus of other days; and there is no recourse unless one wishes to invite prosecu- tion as an accomplice to gambling, always cutlawed. The “Benefit” Racket Others of the genus racketeer, create organizations with high sounding names and give dances or other entertainments that serve to obtain public funds for apparently legitimate charities, while in reality they are but lining the personal pocket of the promoting genius. Associated with this fellow is the provram mar. who sells advertising space in programs for these affairs. Thousands of copies are to be dis- tribute: ii one believes the solicitor. In fact. ofttimes, jus: enough are printed to provide one for each ad- vertiser. Last year. one of these promo- ters advertised a dance in Chicago that atsracted just fourteen people, but the names appearing upon the placards advertising the affair, car- ried such weight with the neigh- borhood that the promoters were enabled to stanc the absence of the public, and to meet the obligations entailed with a nice balance in hand from the advertising sold in the program, the printing order for which was for precisely 200 copies. The advertising sold for $50.00 per page, and many pages were sold, “Hot Stuff” Not long since a racketeer whose bank roll had disappeared in the hands of one more versed than he in the manipulation of cards, went down towr. and bought a dozen suits of cheao clothing. and carrying one suit at a time. went forth to sell “some hot stuff” just from Mar- shall Field’s Chicago’s most ex- clusive clothiers. He sold every suit for move than twice what it was worth without the-formality of an exact fit for any customer. His jrofit for one day was more than a hundred dollars after pay- ing the loan of less than six hours with tie bonus of a ten dollar in- terest. Smooth work, almost clean merchandising.

No; Just a Good Artist So this Colored Girl Breaks in- to Difficult and Exclusive Field of Commercial Art By JOHN W. DOUGLAS Some of us lose valuable time before we are able final- ly to decide what we want to do. Not so with Gladys Black. She had hardly cut her first teeth before her parents dis- covered that their daughter intended to be an artist. All little Miss Black required was a pencil and~something on which to draw. Her mother’s nice clean walls often served when there wasn’t any paper handy. As she grew older she continued to draw. When other children were playing “hide and go seek,” Gladys was industriously covering the side- walk with chalk figures. When other children were puzzling over the three “Rs,” Gladys waz drawing pictures in her copy book. ‘There was nothing else for her parents to do but send Gladys to art school as soon as her high school course was completed. Here she spent three happy years drawing, painting, creating beautiful designs and having the pleasure of seei-.g her work displayed in the school’s year book. In 1927 she graduated, the only colored girl in her class. The important thing now was where to find a job as a commercial artist. The field of commercial art 1s not an easy one. It is somewhat overcrowded, and only the most cap- able are able to gain a foothold. Gladys wanted to specialize in de- signs, to make those pretty shaw and dainty covers that delight the hearts of women. Looking through the want ads, she saw that a large firm in New York wanted a girl to do “Aurora” work. This type of work includes the -de- signing of banners for churches, Sun- day Schools, lodges and similar or- ganizations. Miss Black went to New York and applied for the posi- tion, She took with her as a sample a wall hanging that one of her art teachers had offered to buy. The manager looked at Miss Black, rubbed his chin thoughtfully, examined the sample critically, looked at Miss Black again, considered for a min- ute and forthwith employed her. Evidently the excellence of her work overbalanced any objection: he might have had to her color. Some may consider this a stroke of good luck and, in truth, good luck coomed to follow this young lady.

Three times have I heard Mordecai Wyatt John- son, B.D.,S.T.D.,D.D., speak from the platform, and I liked him less eact time. I do not care ever to hea him again. Well. that is not quite true. T think that if I were given assurance beforehand that he would not try to convince his white audience that, after all, he was a member in good standing of the traditional Negro school of oratory—well, I might go. But I do not like monkeyshines in public speakers, unless the act is sup- posed to be in their repertory. Of course, it is all a matter taste. My taste chances to run in the op- posite direction.

These litle characteristics of speech bu tendear the man to the people whom he leads. And he does lead them most effectively, whether it be in singing of a spine with the refrain “glory hallelujah” or as the hard-working head of an insti- ‘tution still spoken of at times as “the capstone of of Negro education.” Dr. Johnson is interesting, too, as typifying the Negro college president; as a rather noisy and blustery pul- pit orator of less than profound scholarship; as_a man who would be idealized as a Baptist pastor of a se- date country church. He is an earnest man, just a litle pompous and self- conscious in the destiny a blunder- ing fate thrust upon him; but, for- tunately for the boys and girls who look to him for deaderabiy, he is fully aware of his responsibility, even if aware also of his inabiltiy to ful- fill it. Very interesting. Very, very interesting! I do not agree with the Bostonian who said that Nannie Helen Bur- roughs and William Pickens, AM., Litt.D., would make a hell of a fine vaudeville team. I should prefer to se Miss Burroughs paired with Pro- fesor Alain Leroy Locke, AM., Ph.D., in such a venture, if there had to be such a team. I doubt seriously, however, that Dr. Locke contemplates going into vaudeville. Certainly he has not indicated such an intention in any of the public speeches I have heard him make.

Healthy Hair . is Beautiful The DARK KNIGHT A Smashing Story of Brown Love and Thrilling Intrigue by WILLIAM T. SMITH Talented Negro Writer . (Begin Reading Here) SYNOPSIS Rod Herrick, of Golden Arrow, Montana, has come to Chicago to enter the university. It is spring and he intends to earn enough money to enter school by fall. His lawyer friend, Martin Thompson, takes him to a party given by Alderman Durant for his daughter, Lyla. Rod, unused to society's ways, treads on the girl's foot and is insulted for his clumsiness by Reggie, her fiance. To avert trouble between the two, she takes Rod into the garden where he tells her of his life in the West. A warm friendship springs up between them. Later, Lyla, Reggie, Rod, and several others go to the Swamp Hut, a cabaret, where Reggie drinks too much. He strikes Rod who fails to return his blow. Lyla thinks Rod is a coward, but she learns differently when he takes her from Wolf. a notorious gangster who had snatched her from Reggie's arms while they were dancing. Wolf attacks Rod and is knocked out. Several of Wolf's henchmen also attack the youth but are routed just as police raid the place. Rod is able to get the girl safely out of the place. The next night, as he leaves her home after having spent the evening with her, he is kidnapped by Wolf and his gang, who take him out of the city in their car. They tell him they are going to kill him, but he is saved by federal agents who are laving in wait for bootleggers. As manager of prizefighters, Kling, who was in the cabaret when Rod fought with the gangsters, offers him a contract to become a boxer, and Rod accepts in order to make enough money to enter school. At the gymnasium Kling orders Kelly, another of his boxers, to put on the gloves with Rod, in order to see how skilled his new fighter is. Kelly afraid that Rod may replace him, tries to harm him when they get into the ring, but Rod knocks him out. That evening Rod goes to see Lyla. They go for a walk to the beach. He tells her of his love and takes her into his arms. Intoxicated with her nearness and softness, he kisses her hungriily, but she averts disaster by begging him not to spoil their friendship. They leave the beach, and as they reach the sidewalk, she discovers that she hasn't her pocketbook. Rod runs back after it and when he returns he sees her being dragged into a car. A half block away, the machine crashes into the sidewalk and Rod is able to catch it. He finds Lyla's abductor is Reggie, who has been drinking heavily. However, Reggie's identity is not known to him until after he has beaten him severely. Lyla, for some reason which he does not understand becomes angry at him and after they take Reggie to a doctor, tells him to go away. A. the days pass, Rod trains faithfully and sees no one except the other fighters in the gym. He does not try to see Lyla. One afternoon his friend, Martin, takes him to a "tea party" at a young society girl's home. There is much galley at the party, which Rod soon discovers is caused by free drinking of liquor. He meets a seductive looking girl named Zeda, who makes him take a drink — the first one in his life. Under the influence of the liquor, he kisses Zeda in the hallway of the place and looks up to see Lyla entering. Zeda laughs triumphantly and, pulling Rod into the room, slams the door. Rod goes to King's office, where his manager informs him that, in two weeks, he is to fight Mickey Latzo, chief contender for the middleweight; championship. They go to the offices of the Arena's manager, where the contract is signed, several newspaper reporters being present. When they leave the place, two of the reporters accompany them. At one of the city's busiest corners, a truck carrying a number of steers, crashes into another machine. One of the animals breaks loose and charges madly across the street. Rod, trained on the range for just such an emergency as this, leaps out in front of the beast as hundreds of people watch in fascinated horror. Directly back of him are a number of small children who will be crushed by the enraged steer unless Rod is able to halt its terrible charge. Rod leaps aside just in time to avoid the charging steer, then, after the fashion of the West, he succeeds in "bulldogging" the animal by twisting its neck so that it falls to the ground. That night he is awakened from sleep by kisses, and by soft hands stroking his face and halt. At first, only half-awake, he dream: it is Lyla, but Zeda's voice brings him to the consciousness that she has come in his room while he slept. She tells him that when she wants a man she "gets" him. Being a normal youth, Rod gives in to her wiles, and returns her kisses and embraces. A more serious development is avoided when Martin, Rod's lawyer friend, arrives. Zeda hides in Rod's eloset. Martin brings the evening papers which contain Rod's picture and the story of his exploit. Finally he goes, and Zeda emerges from the closet dressed in Rod's bathrobe, her dress in her hand. Rod stares as she throws off the robe, disclosing her lovely form in sheer silk garments. She holds out her arms to him, and he walks slowly toward her. Zeda has come to Rod's room unannounced, but is forced to hide in a clothes closet when Rod's friend, Martin, arrives. After Martin leaves she emerges almost unclothed, but Martin, suspecting her presence, returns unexpectedly. She is furious, and slaps his face, then leaves. Martin explains to Rod that he doesn't want to see him mixed up with the girl, as she has been involved in several ugly scandals. Kiling comes to get Rod in his car the next morning, taking him to the gymnasium where Rod trains before a large audience of fans, who, having read of his heroism in the papers, are anxious to see him. Kiling tells him that their share ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—May 3, 1930 927 "I let you off once." Wolf panted . . . "But I'll not do it again." the money from the fight may amount to $35,000. After leaving the gym, Rod calls Lyla. She begged him to come to see her at once. She tells him that she must marry Reggie, because his father and her father are all tangled in an affair with Wolf, and that if her father incurs the banker's ill-will, it will disgrace him. Rod declares that she will not marry Reggie and starts to leave after threatening thir: Wolf may have to settle with him. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. CHAPTER IX "Just a minute, young man!" Rod wheeled around to find Alderman Durant facing him, his thin feature severe. "Yes, sir?" Lyla jumped up and ran to her father as though she sensed that something was wrong. "Oh, Daddy, what's the matter?" "am not habitually an eavesdropper," the girl's father observed directir_ his glance at Rod and paying Lyla no attention, "but I happened to hear what you said. Young man, you are interfering with something which does not concern you. trouble than you ever dreamed of." Rod's expression became resolute. "Mr. Durant, if you heard what we've been saying, you know that I love your daughter, and want to marry her. And I know that she loves me!" The elder man darted a quick look at his daughter. "That's true, Daddy," Lyla cried "I do love him!" "And you are willing to disobey my wishes even—," the Alderman's voice broke, then again became incisive, commanding, "—even though you know what it means to me—to us?" "Oh, no. I've told Rod that I intend to marry Reggie in spite of—of my love for him," Lyla sobbed. "And I don't intend to let her sacrifice herself for anyone, even you!" the youth cried. "Mr. Durant, there must be some way out of this besides making Lyla marry that fellow." "Young man, I have been in politics for twenty years, and if there were any way in which I could free myself of this tangle—which you seem to know about," his voice became bitter," through the efforts of my daughter, whom I thought I could trust, I would know that way out." Lyla threw her arms around his neck. "I told him about it, Daddy, but I thought I did owe it to him to >explain why I must marry Reggie when we've been—so much to each other!" "But you violated my confidence when you told him!" the Alderman said inexorably. "But, sir—." Rod began. ROD AND "POP" DURANT QUARREL "There is nothing you can say, young man!" Mr. Durant cut him off sharply. "I can only ask that you stay out of this affair completely. Your interference can only mean disaster for me, and if what you say about caring for my daughter is true, you must realize that any stigma which falls on me also affects her." "Oh, Daddy, surely there must be "Oh, Daddy, surely there must be something—" "Nothing, my dear," the Alderman said more gently. "Well. I'm sorry that you won't let me help," Rod said, starting for the door, his young face set in hard lines, "but I don't intend to give up Lyla for anyone." He turned to face them. "Even you!" With that he plunged down the hall and out of the front door. "Your young man seems determined," Mr. Durant said in a voice which suddenly seemed old and tired. "Oh, he's wonderful, Daddy, and IT ng Writer I do love him!" Lyla cried. "Isn't there really anything we can do so I won't have to go through with marrying Reggie?" "What have you against Reggie?" her father asked evasively. "Before this other fellow came along, you seemed to like Reggie all right. He's a nice looking boy, and he'll be able to give you anything you want." "But. I have everything I want. You give me everything, dear!" "However, if I incur Reggie's father's ill-will, I will have nothing." He spread out his hands in an expressive gesture. "Nothing! I've never been in such a position in my life. Without that gangster Wolf to back him up, I should be able to give Reggie's father the political licking of his life, but—Wolf is firmly intrenched." **LYLA LEARNS SOMETHING** "I'll bet Rod will do something to that Wolf!" Lyla prophesied. "He beat him up once!" "Yes, and he came near losing his life as a result, too," her father told her. "What do you mean?" Lyla asked quickly. Her father related how Wolf had abducted Rod and taken him out into the country with the intention of shooting him, and how the Federal agents had saved him. "How do you know all this, Daddy? Rod never breathed a word of it to me!" the girl cried, her eyes frightened. "Never mind how I happened to know it," he replied wearily. "I can tell you that the only reason Wolf didn't do away with your boy friend afterwards was because I asked him not to. I knew you liked the boy." "Oh, Daddy!" the girl sobbed, throwing her arms once more around her father. "And to think I didn't know." "Don't let me down, dear," he begged, his voice pleading. "If I can just get through this situation, I promise you I'm going to get out of politics for good." "You mean—marry Reggie?" Lyla faltered. "Yes, I do mean that," he sighed. "Reggie is his father's only interest in life, in spite of the fact that everyone thinks he is absolutely heartless. Where that boy is concerned he's as soft as mush. He knows that Reggie is in love with you, and if you should happen to turn him down — that would be—my finish." He sagged down into a chair, covering his face with his hands. LYLA CONSENTS In a voice which she tride to make brave, Lyla spoke. "All right, Daddy. If it will help you any, I will marry Reggie whenever you say." Immediately the man brightened. "I knew you wouldn't fail me, my dear child." He rose to his feet impetuously. "The sooner the better, because once Reggie's family and mine are connected, his father wouldn't dare do anything which might bring disgrace upon us all." Lyla choked back her tears and faced him with as bright a smile as she could summon. "Whatever you say, Daddy." "Well, let's make it next Sunday," he suggested eagerly. "I'll call Reginald and tell him the glad news." Lyla was silent as her father made his way quickly to the telephone. She was thinking that Saturday night Rod would have his bout in the ring. And Sunday she would be married to a man whom she did not love. She sighed deeply, but did not attempt to halt her father as he talked to Reggie's father. II Rod left the house in a blaze of angry emotion. In spite of his brave words he had not the least idea of how to avert the catastrophe which threatened. He cast around in his mind for a way to render the Wolf helpless, but no idea came to him. If he sought him out it would only mean that he would probably be bested in a physical encounter, as the Wolf would not again allow him close enough to rely on his fists, as he had done so successfully that night in the Swamp Hut. ROD GETS AN IDEA Then he remembered the card which the Federal agent had given him, and what the agent had told him. It was early afternoon. He decided quickly to go to the offices of the Prohibition Department, and lay his case before the prohibition chief. In a short time he had reached the vast, forbidding building downtown that housed the prohibition offices. Unhesitatingly he took an elevator to the designated floor, and found the room number without difficulty. He asked for the man whose name (Continued on page seven) Do Racketeers Really Rule America?

RENT PARTIES She was a nice girl and had culture, of which she was proud. She fell upon unfortunate days, and the rent was overdue. She was in despair, until she happened to meet a racketeer. His heart was touched, but don't suppose he would jar loose his change. No. no. He would, however, relieve her situation by showing her what to do. The result was a rent party. Now rent parties are simple little social functions that yield nice profits to the promoters. A little barbecue meat, the making of a sandwich and a few bottles of needled beer: "Real Stuff" is what is whiskered as the guests are served at; fourfold price, and a gallon of moonshine, and your party is complete save for the guests. Here is where the racketeer shows his cunning. He passes the word to smoke shop friends, drops a tip as to the address to several taxicab drivers who "know their oats" and from some mysterious rendezvous, come the visitors, each of whom sincerely believes that he has struck some lucky streak in search of pleasure. The affair is a success. Profits have been about 600 per cent and the racketeer takes half of the ret. Out of this he slips his "boys" a "Bit" in the language of the craft, and goes wearily to bed with a nice piece of change and the credit of having done his daily good deed. Of course, if the officer on the beat had to be squared, or there was a neighbor who was so unkind as to "squawk" at noise, his part is diminished some by virtue of having to "do a fix." THE HOCK SHOP GAME The racketeer — bless his cunning hide — is with us always. There is the hock shop game which, today, doesn't seem to be very popular with the nimble-witted gentry. In this game the sucker, purchases a pawn ticket from the "lead on man" at a very low figure, and all he has to do is go to the pawn shop and get the pawned articles out. Of course, you are wise enough to see through that, and you insist that the seller accompany you to the alleged pawn shop and show you what he has to sell. THE "CON" MAN You are somewhat surprised when the "con" man readily agrees to the proposition. He takes you to the pawn shop, shows you what you have presumably purchased, and asks if you are satisfied. You reply that you are—but my, what a sad awakening is coming to you! You go back to get the stuff and the owner of the place informs you that the fellow To gain the strength you need When ordinary duties leave you tired and worn-out; when pleasure and recreation seem "flat" and dull; when mere trifles cause worry and depression—don't go on until you deplete what strength you have.

No, he can't give you your money back, is awfully sorry the thing happened in his place and all that sort of rot while you stand helpless to recover your money. This game, though, since the regulation of pawnshops by city ordinances, has become almost, if not practically, obsolete. "CROOKED COMPLEX" Another favorite stunt of the con man is to set up in the toilet manufacturing business and advertise for a lot of help. He sells you a kit of samples for five or ten dollars and then skips town. The kit is usually worth about ninety-eight cents. This, police say, is the border line between open banditry and high finance. The fellow usually operating such a confidence game as this, has the making of a business man of genius and a "crooked complex" that won't permit him to execute properly once cash gets within his hand. "PERSUADERS" Perhaps the most profitable racket today is the organization of protective bodies of one sort or another. Many small merchants have been victimized by nice sounding associations for trade advancement and protection that are really hold-up projects. Membership fees are high and hesitancy about joining is met with a call from the reception committee or the "persuaders"—little fire bombs, that shatter shops, or just throw a scare into the shopkeeper, as the occasion warrants. FEW NEGROES IN THIS It is said that Chicago, New York, Detroit, St. Louis, and other cities have provided a toll of several million dollars each to this type of racketeer and his gang. Few Negroes have been found engaged in this big business type. It takes more capital and more men working together than is usually possible in the African section of America's population. QUICK WITTED SALESMAN Two or three Negroes have become shining examples of distinctiveness in lone hand plays that depend upon sheer nerve for the perpetration of the hustle; and upon the vanity of the white man who bit, but who suffered his losses without a "squawk" rather than publicly admit that a Negro had victimized him.

The Thirteen Most Interesting Negroes in the United States gycene corvox together from the middle of Decem- ber, 19°7, to the middle of January, when we were shipped to Camp Upton. Having h.d a little military training previously to being inducted into the army. I was acting sergeant of the Negro detachment at Camp Devens when Rainey swaggered, that cold afternoon. into the cramped, boxlike orderly room. I took up the pink card and pre- pared to enter his record upon it. His name? “Julian D, Rainey,” he sang, in a deep bass, and watched the effect upon me. But I had never heard it before. He added impressively: “Julian . Rainey, Esquire, I should have said. I’m an attorney. I'm a graduate cf the Suffolk Law——” “Tll ask for educational quali- fications later,” I told him, and thought it well to tel him also that he was NOT Julian D. Rainey, Es- quire, but Private Julian Rainey, National Army. U.S.A. During the course of my writirg down the information he gave me, he volunteered that he had just come from a visit to Brigadier General Weigel. General Weigel was the camp commander. I regarded Rainey quizzically. Here was a man yvho had oot yet been sworn in but who had already been calling on the gen- eral! Why had he done that? “Well, you see, I'm pretty strong politically in Boston. And with ry academic training, and all that, thought I might as well get the best that this man’s army had to offer.” “Oh, I see. What did you expect the general to give you?” “Didn’t expect him io give me any- thing; wanted him to help me get into the officers’ training camp here.” I, too, had hoped to get into the officers” training camp, and resented this upstart’s avoidance of all mili- tary channels to attain the same dif- ficult end. “How'd YOU get to see the general?” I asked, hoping he did not notice the enviousness in my voice. “Oh, I had a letter of introduction from Governor McCall.” The airy nonchalance! He fished a cigarette from his pocket. and lighted it. “No smoking in here!” I snapped. His coloss:.1 ego irritated me. He has irritated me on occasion ever since. For it was he who got Al Smith as near the White House as Al will probably ever get. It was Julian David Rainey who elected Curley in Boston. It is he who is really the power behind the Curley throne. It is he who advises his honor in all matters involving nice legal judgment. And it will be he who will put James Michael cats into the governor's chair. I suspec! that he has secret plans for making Curley President He has not said so, yet. © When I first knew George Schuyler, thirteen years ago, at the officers’ training camp at Des Moines, I was unaware that his middle name was Sam. Not that it matters. It has nothing, really, to do with the story I am telling about him, except that the fact now seems funny. I don't know why it seems funny that George S. Schuyler’s middle name should be Sam. Anyway, he interested me from the first, and for two reasons: he used to boast about being the black- est man in the Twelfth Company (and he was) and he was not only CLASSIFIED AD BANKRUPT AND BARGAIN SALES — Big; DETE Profits.

After the war, I heard of him again, nov one of the editors of the Messenger. Most of the cynicism had been pounded out of him by ruthless experience, and that which had replaced it was, to me, far pref- erable. I refer to his mellowed humor and the keen cutting edge of his satirical criticism. Never a profound thinker, Schuyler has been interesting to me because of his ability to adapt to his own uses the ideas cf others. He is a close and accurate observer, and cer- tainly one of the most effective anti- dotes in Aframerica for self-sufficient and inflated complacency. A thor- oughly interesting chap. As I said elsewhere some time ago, William Monroe Trotter is an A.M. from Harvard, but succeeds in hiding that fact in what he writes. It is not what Mr. Trotter writes, however, that renders him interesting, but al- together what he does, More than any other Negro in the United States, William Monroe Trotter has agitated and fought for complete Negro free- dom, As national corresponding sec- retary of the National Equal Rights League, he has sent out thousands of protests, to Presidents and Gov- erners, to Senators and Representa- tives—to everybody in -authority whose voice might profitably be raised in some Negro’s behalf. Mr. Trotter is one of those persons who will have to die before they can command appreciation. He gives himself completely to the cause of Negro rights, yet is looked upon with 1 ngled humor and scorn by most of Bostcn’s colored population. These people are unconcerned save in so far as injustice touches them per- sonally; indifferent about those in- yaluable things for which Trotter has slaved and suffered until he is “oS A ee ee ee ae, Ti) Bern a cea How do the Stars care for their hair Lovely hair, even on the stars of the stage and screen, is rarely natural.

Walter Francis White is that man. He derives from his experience in the South, 25 investigator of the National Association, for the Advancement of Coisred People, a pleasure similar to that small boys get from thumbing their noses at irriscible policemen. ‘The fact that Walter Francis White has not yet been caught, flavors these experiences with a pungent spiciness, He gets a peculiar delight in boaste ing of his ability to pass; a peculiar pleasu:- in reminding his hearer or his reade. that he could be as white in practice as he actually is in name, feature, and complexion.

The man who sat across the desk he recognized as the leader of the band of agents who had saved his life when Wolf had abducted him. "Hello there, Cowboy!" the agent greeted him. "How did you know me?" Rod demanded in surprise. "Why, who wouldn't know you with your picture in every paper for the past two days," the agent laughed. "What's on your mind?" Rod drew a deep breath. "You offered me a job once as a prohibition agent," he began. "Sure, but you don't need a job here, my boy. Why, you'll probably make more in this coming bout of yours than your salary as agent would amount to in a year—or even two years." the agent advised. Rod's brow was furrowed with thought. "Yes, I know—but this is different. You see, I want to put the skids under Wolf, and the only way I can think of is to catch him selling liquor and arrest him." "Oh! So that's it, eh?" "Yes, sir—that is, if his pull doesn't extend to your department—" "Say—we've had our hands full with other fellows, but don't think we haven't got our eye on your gangster friend," the government man told Rod emphatically. "He's on our list, and we'll get to him sooner or later. You know the government is slow but sure." EOD GETS A BREAK "Well, couldn't you fix it up so I could go after Wolf soon? Right away, if possible." "What's the big hurry. Kid?" "Well, it's like this," Rod told him, relating Wolf's part in the tangle which threatened his happiness, but not mentioning Alderman Durant's name. For several minutes the prohibition man sat silent, thinking. "It'll kinda be rushing us, but I guess I can do it for you, Cowboy—that is, if you'll get the gang down here some tickets to your fight." He smiled. "Love'll make a guy do funny things, won't it?" Rod grinned unabashedly. "So I've noticed. At least, it does things to me. And I'll see that you get all the tickets you want to the fight." "Okay," accepted the agent. "Here's what we'll do. I'll get you a special commission, since you want to be in on this so badly. We'll raid the place Saturday night, after your fight—that is, if you're able to do any raiding." He chuckled aloud. Rod joined in his laughter. "Oh, I'll be all right. I'm not afraid of getting much hurt. I never have yet, and worse things than a guy with padded gloves have been after me!" THE PLAN "That's the stuff! Now listen. Here's the way we'll work it. You take a party of your friends down to this chap's place—the Swamp Hut, I think you told me. Having had trouble with you already, you can probably badger Wolf into getting you some liquor himself. Ask him if he's afraid to do it. Tell nim that since he's boasted about his pull so much, surely he's not afraid to serve a little liquor to an old friend like you. That'll get his goat, and if he falls for it, all you have to do is to arrest him then and there, and Getting Up leg pains, smarting, or frequent night and day calls, due to functional bladder irritation, try Cystex (pronounced Siss-tex).

And I think I can fix it so his bond will be higher than he'll be able to make, too." "Gee, that's great!" the youth exulted. "I'll see you in your dressing room right after your fight, then," the agent planned, "and then I can give you the lowdown on what's going to happen." Rod left the office feeling much better than when he had entered it. Now he was sure that he would be able to circumvent the Wolf—to render his sharp fangs harmless. With Wolf out of the way, Lyla's father would be freed of his entanglement, and Lyla would be free to marry him. Rod thought exultantly. So engrossed was he in his plans that when he bumped into a man who was coming up the corridor he scowled and would have passed on without even looking up, but a grating voice which he well remembered broke through his abstraction. UP JUMPS THE WOLF "Where the hell do you think you are going, Big Boy?" Rod looked up quickly to see Wolf standing in front of him, his hands shoved deep into a light top coat he was wearing. On his scarred visage there was a look of restrained hate, and his sensuous lips were curled into a menacing snarl. "Who wants to know?" Rod challenged, although his heart surged wildly at the unexpected sight of his enemy. "What you doing up here, anyway?" Wolf demanded. "What do you care?" Rod countered, showing no sign of his inward agitation. Wolf's hand moved suggestively in his pocket as though he had a gun. "I ought to answer that with a slug of lead right through your belly," he growled. "I've been savin' one for you." "Thanks for remembering me, but you'd better make it two," Rod advised with apparent lightness. "One might not be enough, Mister!" "You're a smart ape, ain't you?" Wolf muttered, his small eyes flaming with baffled hatred. "Sure," the youth agreed amiably. "But say, Mister—will you be in your place Saturday night?" "What's that to you?" Wolf asked, quickly suspicious. "Well, you know I have my first bout Saturday night," Rod told him guilelessly, "and if I win, I would like to bring a party of friends down to celebrate." Wolf's evil eyes flashed fiercely, then he smiled a smooth, oily smile.

"Well, you ought to know how good I am," Rod observed wickedly, "you've felt the weight of my good right fist!" THE WOLF ACTS Wolf stiffened. His eyes bulged insanely. The hand which was plunged into his right pocket moved, and Rod could see the bulky outlines of his gun. "I let you off once," Wolf panted thickly, "but I'll not do it again. Step into this washroom! Make it fast! Get a move on you!" Wolf's voice and his actions were those of a man suddenly demented. The anger which possessed him made his body shake like an aspen. As he talked, he came close to Rod so that the latter could feel the point of his gun. The youth knew that Wolf must be under the influence of some drug, or he would not be foolhardy enough to risk shooting him in such a public place. The thought came to him that he might as well attempt to have it out with his enemy in the corridor as in the greater privacy of the washroom. He tensed his body to spring at Wolf, while his ears seemed to hear in advance the roar of a gun. (END OF CHAPTER NINE) It seems like the Wolf means business. But wait 'till next week!
