S Hot Fight Waged Instrumental In Parker Loses Place on Supreme Bench By Close Margin of One Vote A. F| of L. IN FIGHT By C. V. Kelley Pres. Ricmond Branch, N.A.C.P. The bitter fight against the con- tention of Judge J. J. Parker, circuit judge of North Carolina, as associate justice of the U. S. Supreme Court came to an end wedge in the Senate, when that body voted 41 to 39 against his conformation. immediately following his appointment by president Hoover, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the American Federation of Labor began well organized attacks on the illness of the Judge to sit on the Supreme Bench. The N. A. C. A. F. uncarned some utterances made by Judge Parker in the 1920 gubernatorial campaign in North Carolina, whenarker was candidate for that post. It is declared that he said that Negroes were not yet ready and ht ior the responsibilities of political participation and further alleged that he stated "if my ejection can be attributed to one single Negro vote, I shall immediately resign." The American Federation of Labor attacked the judge's ruling in the red Jacket Mining Co. case, when he upheld an injunction restraining the United mine Worker from sourcing membership in the unions. The most bitter night that has ever been waged on a presidential appointee took place an over the country and consumed ten days of debate in the U. S. Senate. Party lines were split. The close margin by which the appointee was defeated indicates the intensity of the fight; only one more vote for Parker being sufficient to confirm him, as vice-president Curtis had declared himself as a supporter of the administration's appointment and would have cast his vote for Parker in case of a tie. The defeat of Parker can be safely attributed to the organized attack of the N. A. C. C., with Walter White, assistant secretary, leading the fight. DR-S. PARKS CADMAN COMMENCEMENT SPEAKER Durham, N. C., May 5.—With the securing of Dr. S. Parks Cadman, noted New York divine, to deliver the commencement address at the North Carolina College for Negroes, preparations are now being made for the commencement exercises at the institution, marking the first annual exercises to be held at the college since the completion of the present building program. A speaker to deliver the annual commencement sermon is now being secured, and will be announced within the next week, according to announcement by Dr. J. E. Shepard, president. Since all of the buildings of the present building program have been completed, plans are under way to make this the greatest commencement event held at the institution, and are expected to return in greater numbers than ever before, and a busy program is being arranged to occupy the time and attention of those who come back for the annual exercises of their alma mater.

ROOSEVELT SIGNS NEGRO ASSEMBLYMAN'S BILL TO AID HARLEM & ENTERS New York (CNS)—Among the legislative bills approved by Governor Franklin Roosevelt last week, was the rent bill introduced by Assemblyman Lamar Perkins, and designed to protect Harlem from mercies landlords. The bill provides for the granting of discretionary stays in summary proceedings against tenants, under which a tenant would be allowed to occupy his apartment for six months after eviction proceedings had been started, at the discretion of a municipal court justice. The measure was bitterly opposed by landlords at a hearing before the Governor, while proponents argued that it was necessary to protect them, particularly in the marital district, against "merciles" landlords. Opponents also contended that the measure was political in origin, intended to advance its sponsor politically. Perkins is serving his first term in the State Legislature to which he was elected last November. TWO WOMEN SEEK SEATS IN PENNSYLVANIA LEGISLATURR Philadelphia (CNS) — The tenth anniversary of woman suitage in the United States fines two colored women among the candidates who have announced their intention to seek seats in the State Legislature, replacing white incumbents from the 11th legislative district which is largely colored. Mrs. Addie W. Dickerson, who is campaigning strenuously for the Republican nomination in the 30th Ward won the first round in her battle when a protest against her registration was denied. She opposes William H. Fullier, white, who has served from the district for three consecutive terms and has always been strongly supported. Mrs. Satterton seeking the nomination for the seat of the white incumbent in her ward must also overcome opposition by Attorney Robert Nix, who has been hard at work rounding up supporters for some time.

Ask Colored Gold Star Mothers to Decline Jim Crow. New York, May 2. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue, is today sending to all colored gold star mothers listed, a letter accompanied by a protest addressed to President Hoover against the color segregation imposed by the war Department on the pilgrimage to their sons' graves in France, the protest to President Hoover, concluding with a refusal to make the journey if the color bar is adhered to. The N. A. A. C. P. in its letter to the gold star mothers cites the War Department's statement that "colored mothers and widows will receive equal accommodation as furnished the white women making the journey, although groups of colored mothers and widows will be formed." The form protest sent the colored gold str mothers for them to send to President Hoover says in part: "the women which have passed since death took our loved ones our anguish and sorrow have been assugged by the realization that our loved ones who rest RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, MAY 10, 1930 ABYSSINIA SEEKS AMERICAN CAPITAL Washington (CNS)—At the conclusion of the call of Addison E. Southard, American minister at Addis Abeba, Abyssinian capital at the White House, President Hoover sent a cablegraph to Ras Tafari, recent successor to the throne of Abyssinia which, it is believed, will cement the cordial relations between the two governments. "I have received your Majesty's message informing me of your accession to the throne of Ethiopia and I assure you of the satisfaction with which I received this information," the message read. Following his White House call, Mr. Southard discussed at length the political and economic conditions of the African nation, stressing Abyssinia's need of American capital in general and of $25,000,000 for the construction of the projected Tafari Dam specifically. The awakening of the African nation, rich in natural resources, to the advantages of modern development was evidenced by the construction projected on the Blue Nile near Lake Tsana, Mr. Southard said. The dam would be above the great British dam at the first catacract of the Nile proper at Assuun and would provide control for flood waters over twelve instead of six months of the year. Construction of the dam, as now planned by Ras (Governor) Tafari, who is continuing with plans to be crowned emperor soon despite the desperate triumph opposition and revolt which followed the death of the late Empress Zethra is scheduled to start in the spring of next year, and would require seven years for completion. The contract probably would go to the J. G. White Engineering Corporation of New York, Mr. Southard indicated, that company having interested itself already in the development of Ethiopia. GOLD STAR MOTHERS RECEIVE BADGES FOR PILGRIMAGE Washington, D. C. (CNS)—Each Gold Star mother and widow who is to make the pilgrimage to England and France has been mailed an attractive, symbolic badge, the design of which has been approved by the Secretary of War and which will serve as a means of identification and of recognition for the bestowal of every courtesy upon the guests of the United States government. It is expected that these badges will be of particular value to the women when they must travel alone on their journeys from their homes to New York and from New York to their homes upon their return from Europe, and will result in their receiving every consideration from those with whom they come to contact. The badge is a gold medallion featuring a gold star within a circle upon the circumference of which is inscribed "Pilgrimage of Mothers and Widows." Beneath the circle and on each side is a spray of oak and laurel leaves, while above the circle are crossed flags uon which rests the shield of the United States. States. The medallion is suspended by a red, white and blue ribbon from a name plate bar upon which is etched the name of the mother or widow and the State from which she is making the pilgrimage. in the soil of France gave their lives to the end that the world might be a better place in which to live for all men, of all races and of all colons. "Ten years after the Amistle, the high principles of 1918 seem to have been for gotten. We who gave, and who are colored, are insulted by the implication that we are not fit persons to travel with other bereaved ones. We appeal to you as Chief Executive of our nation and as Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy, to issue an order abolishing this unjust ruling. "If you as President of the United States refuse to abolish this ruling, we respectfully decline to make the trip to France, preferring instead to remain at home and retain our honor and self-spect." Friends of colored gold star mothers are asked to add their word to the advice of the N. A. A. C. P.

Old Dominion Choir Score STAID BRITON SHOUT ACCLAIM AS HAMPTON NEGROES SING London, May 3.—A staid British audience in Queen's Hall today forgot its somber traditions and with stamping of feet and loudly shouted cheers, voiced its enthusiastic approval of the first formal European concert of the Hampton Institute choir of forty Negro boys and girls. So great was the emotion of the audience that the youthful singers, under the leadership of Dr. Nathaniel Dett, were held upon the stage more than forty-five minutes after the conclusion of their regular program. Plainistic melodies of the cotton fields; mystic baptismal chants and ecstatic religious hymns held the Britishers in a spell from which they could scarcely emerge. From the moment of their disembarkation in England, the Negro singers have been in constant demand. On board the De Grasse they sang every time they were asked. Since coming ashore they have followed the same policy. They thrilled a group of London journalists at an informal reception. Yesterday they sang for Premier Ramsay MacDonald and, in the afternoon, while sight-seeing in the Tower of London, they gave an impromptu concert for a group of tourists who met them at the entrance. Political Unrest In Republican Party Political Unrest In Republican Party NEGRO BOLT OF G. O. P. BELIEVED IMPENDING Washington, D. C. (CNS)—Dissatisfied with the treatment of loyal Republicans by the Hoover administration, Negro voters in all sections of the country—where they wield political power are organizing themselves to defeat Republican candidates for Congress in the November election. The straw that broke the camel's back was the nomination by President Hoover of Judge John J. Parker, of North Carolina, who expressed publicly that he was opposed to the participation of Nefroes in politics, for the Supreme Court of the United States. Nefroes who remained loyal even after it became apparent that President Hoover and the Republicans were anxious to discard colored party leaders, and continued to hope for political award when a year had expired without a single Negro being appointed to office, who condoned the diplomatic expedition of the failure to appoint a Negro Minister to Liberia, a post made vacant by the death of the late W. T. Francis of Minneapolis, can find no justification for this latest move by the administration to hold the South. In Boston, Republicans have become alarmed at the turn of events. Denouncing the Republicans as a party of broken promises, the Colored Democratic party has succeeded in making serious inroads into Republican ranks. They predict that 75 per cent of the potential colored voters in the State will vote the straight Democratic ticket in November. It is believed that the damage done in this State is irreparable. During the past month two Democratic organizations have sprung into being in Cleveland, one, an organization of young business and professional people who have pledged themselves to make a direct appeal to young man and woman in Cleveland, has trebled its membership in a fortnight. The unrest in Indiana is marked, particularly in the larger cities. Indianapolis voters are reported ready to swing to the support of the Democratic ticket which has two colored candidates for State legislature listed for the May primaries. Ohio Republicans having served notice upon their Senators that they win or lose the colored vote by their stand on the Parker nomination, following the championship of Judge Parker by Senator Simeon D. Fess and Senator McCullough, are prepared to quit the party. Similarly in Rhode Island, Senator Felix Hebert, who was elected by a majority of 2,900 votes may be made feel the need of the 3,000 votes which made possible his election when next his name appears on the ballot. For Senator Hebert is one of the four northern Republican Senators who voted "wrong" on the Parker nomination in the Judiciary Committee. He is not up for re-election this fall, however. The Negro voter has become race conscious. M. First Baptist Church of South Richmond. The One Hundredth Ninth of the Church and the Tenth of the Pastor, Dr. W. L. kansome.

PARKER CASE THE PARI Editorial THE PARKER CASE By William C. Brown The Parker case may be the last straw between the Lily Whites and the Negroes in the South. It is no secret that the Lily Whites are very indignant at the opposition that Southern Negroes have offered thru the N. A. A. C. P. to confirmation of Judge John J. Parker, as the administration nominee for the Supreme Court seat left vacant by the death of Judge Sanford. But after all, it may be the best thing. Negroes here in the South have gone along in the past, with heavy hearts at the treatment accorded them by the white leaders and many have lost interest in suffrage, not as politicians but as humble citizens. It takes lots of enthusiasm to vote year after year for party that twil countenance the flying colors of racial prejudice for simply political exudency. The leaders come to you year after year, saying, "well, you know that it is impossible to win an election in the South with the Negro showing any prominence in the Republican party." I tak low until we get in and we shall fix things like we want them." The patience of the Negro has just about exhausted. It is now becoming a plain fact that Negroes are not wanted in the Republican party here in the South, except around election day for In the course of human events" men have reached high planes and occupied exalted stations, and to such the world has looked up in admiration and awe. They enjoyed the praise and the profit of these high positions. They were honored as kings, emperors, princes and tities. They exercised authority and dominated thousands who bowed to their will. Butinevitably has come the time when they were displaced and became, each one, "ex." In one of the old grammars there was the significant statement, ‘Nepoleon rose, reign, and fell.’ Note the order, ‘rose, reign,’ ruled and dominated; and then, ‘ill,’ which means he became an ‘ex.’ The man who dominated Germany, dreamed of universal conquest, and who made long strides in that direction is now mentioned as the “ex-Kiser.” Until a little while ago we had two men who were known as “ex-presidents” showing that from this highest place in the civilized world, men must pass ranks of the “exes.” In some fraternities these are known as “pass” since we have ‘past Master’ pass and ‘Grand’ pass who have occupied office and passed out. This is constant with the old Latin maxim, ‘Sie transit g loria mundi,’ “Thus passed the glory of the world.” Meditating on the tranitory character of earthly fame and glory, there comes the question "Is it worth the while?" Is it worth the sacrifice of principle, honor, conscience, of the finer values of the soul itself? Is it wisdom to surrender eternal verities for transitory, efferent entities? And to these questions there is out the one answer—No! It is honesty more the rule than the exception; men pay the highest price for fame, and honor and glory; but, no matter what the price paid, nor how high the position or the honor attained, after a few fleeting years these exelted ones must join the procession of the "exeus" they must pass out. This thought of the inevitable "exeus" should not discourse, nor should it deter one from doing his best in the interest of high attainment; but should influence him to give the greater, and more obedient, and spiritual attainment rather than to those things which he must eith- J.

In Virginia there is apparent at present a split on the horizon in the ranks at least in leadership. The time is increasingly short when it will be seen whether Hon. C. Bascion Slemp, or Hon. Henry W. Anderson will lead the destinies of the party. If Anderson wins out the Negro is doomed. If Slemp wins out, there will be at least a point of contact. But it seems to us that the laely organized National Negro Republican League is the only hope—if it will carry a spirit of independence. But if i tis just another group of politicians to gain the advantage they will find out that while the Negro loves the Republican party, he is willing to vote for any party that will give him some encouragement and hope. In certain sections of the country, the Democrats are offering just such inducements. In states that will hold the elections this fall there is almost certain to be a drift to the Democratic party. The young Negro is getting tired being bounced by his so-called leaders who are willing to sell on for a "mess of pottage." The idea that the Negro is growing radican is but propaganda to divert the public mind from the real issues. "Youth must be served." "THE DIVINE CALL" Before entering the ministry one should be thourly conscious of a divine "Call" to preach the Gospel. A mere inclination to engage in ministerial work because there may be features in it that appeal, does not constitute a "call" in the highest and most proper sense of that term. The divine commission or which I speak, even on the choice of a church, the expressed desire of a congregation, or the consent of a conference. The weighty, Heavenly-required qualifications of the Christian ministry cannot result from a hasty conscription on the one hand or a systematic recruiting on the other. Those who have gone into the pulpit from emotional impulses or selfish motives or inducted there by the pernasion of others, deserve pity, it is true, yet despite this pity and all this need of pity, the fact that they have missed their calling manifest itself in all their administrative activities and pulp efforts. I repeat, I do not think and cannot believe that one's personal incintration in that direction, the personal wishes of friends or parents, the express desire of the people, and even pulp efforts, can lead to a way condition a call to the ministry. For how often have the incompetent and deprived yes, in some cases blockheads and villains, through such methods, found their way into the pulpist on the one hand, while on the other they have frequently led to the shamful mistake of laying solemn hands on the heads of those who could not preach to the want of the concurrence of Heaven in their formal conservation. The selection and designation therefore, for the Christian ministry, we consult the high moral causes operating in the church and Heaven only, and the concurrence and confirmation of the church of but incidental and secondary importance.

Can a man be a prize fighter and maintain his dignity as a gentleman? Some writers claim he cannot, others claim he can. I am forced to agree with the affirmative. I have met so many gentlemen in the racket that it is no wonder my discussion is as it is. For example, Tiger Flowers, the most beloved prize fighter al all times and here we have Al Brown the Gentleman from Panama. You know "Al" is a cornet player and when that boy starts playing it is just too bad. He was over in paris a few years ago and Frenchmen went wild over him. He is the most feared man today in the Bantam class. Well, "Al" is such a sport. Believe me that that boy does take the cake when it comes down to looking sharp as the girls say, "Al" is a good lighter, and believe me he doesn't play with his opponents. Just as soon as possible he puts them to sleep. Go on "Al" you'll reach the top some day by and by. PUBLIC SCHOOL VOLLEY BALL JOUNAMENT By J. Elmer Booker By J.

Atlanta, Ga., Apr. 22: Commenting editorially on the opening of the new Union station in this city, in which careful provision has been made for the convenience and comfort of all patrons of what ever race, the Atlanta World, progressive Negro weekly says: "Alantans are rejoicing over the exquisite beauty of this Italian traventine marble structure now hausing the station facilities of the Georgia Railroad, the Louisville and Nashville, and the Chattanooga and St. Louis Railways. This beautiful edifice means more than the landmark pleasing to the eye. To the new traveler it gives an atmosphere of a warm welcome to the Gate City. The left wing of the new station houses the colored waiting rooms, which are without doubt the most elaborately furnished and decorated service rooms for Negroes in the entire south. "This realization of equality in service is indicative of the continual improvement in conditions of travel for our people in the South." WISE CRACKS.

New York, May 2- Latest advices to the National Association for the Advancement of colored People by long distance telephone from Washington, state that the present strategy of the Administration is to delay final vote in the Senate to the nomination of Judge John J. Parker to the U. S. Surpreme Court, in the belief that delay will tire out Parker's opponents. Even Parker's supporters agree that a vote been taken before today the nomination would have been defeated. The N. A. A. C. P. U. straining every nerve to keep up the pressure on Senators. Late yesterday a long distance telephone from Washington told of thirteen senators whose votes were in doubtful column. Within half an hour telegrams had gone out to thirty-two branches of the Association in states represented by those senators asking them to exert all possible measure. During the week, Walter White, N. A. A. C. P. Acting Secretary, and large and enthusiastic mass meetings in Chicago, Detroit and Cleveland, Chicago sending 262 telegrams to the Illinois senators, Detroit sending 95 telegrams to the Michigan senators and Cleveland sending 200 to the Ohio senators. The Chicago telegrams included 40 from organizations, one of those organizations representing 84,000 colored Republican women of Illinois. At the Chicago meeting, State Senator Adelbert Roberts, who served as campaign manager for Hoover among colored people in 28 states and has been a Republican of 40 years said formation of Parker and if the Senate unwisely confirms him, I will oppose Hoover if renominated." From many leading newspapers in the country, notably the Springfield Republic in Massachusetts, New York World and the Daily News, as well as the entire Serrips-Howard chain of papers, is coming endorsement of the position taken by the N. A. A. C. P. Oo the other hand in the South every effort is being made to impugn the Association's motives, its sources of income, even to threaten of senatorial "investigation," which would be welcomed with pleasure by the National Office staff. In North Carolina, supporters of Parker deserved so low as to procure endorsement of the nomination by a "prominent" Negro attorney, W. F. Williams, of Winston-Salem, who was reported on the same day that his endorsement was published, to have indicted for a federal offense having it is alleged, charmed him for his services to war veterans in compensation claims, than the law allows. Oo the other hand Professors at Shaw University in Raleigh have telegraphed the N. A. A. C. P. of their opposition to Parker and saying that that opposition was almost unanimous among educated colored people of the State despite the "prominent" Negroes whose endorsement of Parker had been obtained. The Washington correspondent of the Outlook and Independent for April 30, comments on the "organized political cowardice" shown by the Republican members of the Senate, who tried to ignore the Negroes' protest even after Walter White appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee, until letters began arriving from Negro constituents "by the main sack." "Since then conditions approximating a political panic have prevailed on the Senate side of the Capitol. SOUTH RICHMOND UNION BAPTIST CHURCH Last Sunday the pastor, Dr. L. C.

B. Williams, Negro "voodoo" expert and doctor "Of Lake City, Florida, and New Orleans, La." is languishing in the United States penitentiary at Atlanta, Ga. Williams, a large, powerful-looking and "slick"-looking Negro with a hundred-thousand-dollar front, was sent to the Atlanta Federal prison for two years by the United States District Court at Jacksonville, Florida, in January on a charge of using the United States mails to defraud. The case against Williams was worked up by Postal Inspector J. O. Jones, of Atlanta. One of the complainants was an aged colored woman of Georgia who sent to the "Professor" about $30 by mail for a cure for rheumatism and the restoration some of her youthful sprightliness. According to "Aunt Ellen," the complainant in this instance, the secret formula of the "voodoo" doctor was as follows: The "Professor" wrote a letter on which he carefully placed some red dots, supposed by the patients to have been made with the blood of some animal sacred in "voodoo" practice, such as a graveyard rabbit, or something of the kind, but which dots were, without any doubt, made with red ink. The patient was to take this letter and burn it and then put the ashes carefully in a wash tub well filled with water. She was to take a bath in the mixture. After taking the bath the patient must dry on a clean towel and mail the towel to the "Professor" at his headquarters at Lake City, Florida. As to that, not even the court denied this was very good medicine as far as it went! This was not the first time that attempts were made to catch the "Professor" for fraudulent use of the mail, it has been said, but heretofore it has been impossible to get evidence sufficient to convict. None of his victims cared to have the "Professor" cast into the four winds powder from pulverized red roots dug in the yard of a haunted house, as a "voodoo" agency to cast a spell over them in revenge because they testified against him. haps, but just what mediums he employed is not known. It is be- This time, however, there was plenty of evidence. The postal department of the Federal government had the power to get in touch with the hundreds of correspondents of the "professor" who had sent money to him at Lake City, Florida, and secure plenty of evidence. Money orders were not so much in evidence before. Sensing that he would probably get a long sentence if he allowed the case to be tried before a jury, the crafty "Professor" entered a plea of guilty to the charge against him and was sentenced to two years in the Federal prison by Judge Lake Jones, judge of the U.S. District Court at Jacksonville. The "Professor" snared his victims largely through the circulation of thousands of cards advertising his alleged powers. The card is reproduced on this page. The picture of the black cat on the card presented an inference that the "Professor" was able to nullify the bad luck brought by black cats. The class who answered the cards of the "Professor" considered it very bad luck, for instance, for a black cat to cross the road or street in front of them. The "Professor" had the cards printed in enormous quantities. One job shop turned out 25,000 of them, and, incidentally was cheated out of most of the charges for the work. It is supposed that he had advertisements published in certain periodicals — Negro newspapers, per- THE WEEKLY PRESS This exceedingly well clothed young lady represents the "professor's" secretary.

It is believed that the "Professor" had them distributed to good prospects by agents in various parts of the country. After the "Professor" received bites and money orders and one dollar bills he entered into correspondence with the "suckers" to get them to get a complete course to cure their diseases, get them out of trouble, overcome their enemies, get the men or women they wanted or to hold the ones they already had, overcome evil spirits, get them out of jail, make money, or whatever his correspondents wanted to accomplish. Many who answered the cards sent him a much larger sum than the initial dollar. His business was so large for a time that he had a secretary to help him take care of his correspondence. George O. Jacobs, the postmaster at Lake City, said Williams cashed satchels of money orders at the Lake City postoffice, not to mention the remittances in the form of paper money. These money orders were from Washington, D.C., Brooklyn, Virginia, New Orleans and many other parts of the country. The "Professor" gave his clients whatever form of "vooodoo" art they wanted, if they preferred a particular kind, it was easy to prepare the exact concoction. Roots of various kinds and roots of distinctive color pulverized into dust are employed extensively by the "vooodoo" doctors.

A photographic copy of the card the "professor" circulated. It never failed to bring him a large number of customers. The coins are kept in a certain chemical or acid in bottles by the sorcerers and after they are removed from the bottles they turn slightly dark when exposed to the air. Turning dark is a sign that the "doctor" is on the job and that the charm is in working order. The "doctors" ask ten and fifteen dollars each for the magic coins and frequently obtain this exorbitant price. Turpentine camps were "meat" for the "Professor." Negro labor is employed almost exclusively except as to manager and foremen and at some camps some of the foremen are colored. At one camp near Lake City the manager noticed that there was considerable unrest and excitement among the Negro workers and their families. Later on the manager learned that a good many of the Negroes believed that some one had scattered dirt from graves from a nearby Negro cemetery around some of their houses. The ones who believed in this superstition, and a great many of them do, thought the ghosts of the persons buried in the graves from which the dirt was taken would haunt their homes. Turpentine operators have been known to hire "voodoo" doctors to go to the camps of rival operators to perform their quackery and to let it be known that certain houses, especially those of the best workers, are under an evil spell, in order to frighten the inhabitants away so they can get them to come to their camps to work.

He said the "Professor" had secured around $300 out of his labor before he found him out and run him off. After the "Professor" had been at the camp, he said, dimes or quarters could be seen on the ankles of some thirty or forty of the women. During the excitement, Sam Alexander, one of his laborers, broke out of his house with loud whoops of terror at midnight one night during a hard storm, declaring that a weird looking "hant" was in the house.

Rod wrestled with the temptation to call the girl and tell her what he had done in the way of getting rid of their enemy Wolf, but decided that it would be better to wait until he knew that Wolf was really behind the bars. Something might go wrong—Wolf might not be there. A thousand things could happen. The few days that intervened before the fight, fled rapidly. Each day Rod mae his appearance at the gym, going through light training before large crowds of eager spectators, whose numbers increased as the time for the bout approached. Clad in his silk tights, he added much to the color and mystery that the newspaper stories had thrown around him. He found himself growing highly impatient and irritable as the day approached, but Kling only rubbed his hands. Nervousness and irritability, Kling said, were only natural evidences of a state of tension which was good for any fighter before his fight. Rod, however, had a miserable time fo it. Lyla did not call him, and since he had resolved not to call her, he kept his word to himself. He awakened each morning with a sense of expectancy which the day failed to satisfy. Finally, Saturday morning came. The newspapers were full of the impending bout between Rod and Latoz, almost to the exclusion of what was intended to be the major attraction—the fight between the light-heavy-weight champ, and his opponent. At two o'clock in the afternoon Rod and Latoz met at the offices of the boxing commission to weigh in. Latoz wore a smile of high confidence and was completely at his ease. Rod, however, was like a high-strung race horse eager for getaway. In answer to Latoz's tantalizing smile he could only scowl in return. In accordance with his manager's instructions, Rod had not shaved for two days, and a slight growth of beard together with his tumbled hair, which he had forgotten to brush, gave him the appearance of a half wild creature. As the two fighters stood close by the scales with only towels wrapped around them, newspaper men boomed their flashlights at them again. They were asked innumerable questions, which Latzo answered easily, and Rod with monosyllables. LATZO'S MANAGER AFRAID Kling hovered around with an enigmatic smile. Watching him, Karnes was patently uneasy, in spite of his usual air of suave complacency. There was something in Kling's manner which betrayed that even if his fighter were nervous, he had an idea that things were highly in his favor. Knowing Kling to be an almost unerring judge of fighters, Karnes felt a momentary twinge of uneasiness. He had taken the fight simply because he believed that Rod would be a set-up for the more experienced Mickey, and he knew that with a championship match as the reward to the winner of the bout, he could not afford to take chances. Karnes called his nighter aside after he had resumed his clothes. "Listen, Mick," he said in low tones, "you want to watch this Cowboy tonight. I don't know really how good he is, but Kling is wearing a smile like a cat which has just lapped up a big bowl of cream—or maybe see's a big bowl of cream in sight. And we're not supplying any cream tonight, see?" Latzo grunted contemptuously. "Humph! I'm not worrying any. Why, don't I know that this is the guy's first professional start?

What do you think I've been fighting all these years for?" "Well, just be on the lookout, because I've got a hunch that maybe you're in for a tougher session than you know." "Aw, forget it. You're worse than an old woman!" Latzo muttered. Kelly took Rod in charge after they left the commissioner's office. Kling had given him orders not to let Rod get out of his sight until time for the fight. LAST MINUTE PREPARATION The two fighters went to a hotel near the Arena where the fight was to be held. Kelly led Rod into the dining room. "I'm not hungry, Kelly," Rod protested. "What's that got to do with it?" Kelly bantered good naturedly. "You're going to eat a walloping big steak and then we're going for a long walk. Just leave things to me and I'll have you feeling mighty fine tonight." Accordingly, though he had no appetite at all, Rod dutifully consumed the large, rare porterhouse steak which his companion ordered for him. He was not permitted to drink anything; but water, and Kelly would not let him eat even a slice of bread. After he meal, Kelly led Rod into the street. They walked slowly to Michigan Boulevard, where the blond fighter guided Rod to the lake shore. For an hour and a half they strolled slowly along the beach, then circled so that they eventually arrived back at the hotel from which they started. In a hotel room, Kelly bade Rod disrobe and get into bed. "Say, what's the big idea," Rod demanded. "First, you nearly walk me to death, then you put me to bed. You know perfectly well that I couldn't sleep a wink if I tried all afternoon." "No back talk, young feller." Kelly ordered with mock brusqueness. "You just do as I tell you, and when you wake up you'll be feeling like licking ten Mickeys!" To his great surprise Rod found that after a few minutes in bed he was drowsy. Noticing his drooping eyelids, Kelly laughed. "Told you you'd be sleepy." he recalled. "That's what that big steak and the walk was for; to give you strength, and the walk was to digest When the Real Thing Comes Along Get It!

Rod leaped out of the bed and started dancing around the room, jabbing and punching at the air. "How you feel?" Kelly asked solicitously. "Great," Rod snapped, as he came out from under the shower in the bathroom, and started getting into his clothes. As he donned the brilliant crimson silk boxing pants which Kling had supplied. Rod noted that there was also the insignia of a plunging bull in full charge. "You're all decked out like a champ," Kelly sighed enviously, "and this is your first fight.

There was an interlude—her marriage to John Madison, who was groom for the famous sportsman, Bob Stickney. One child was born to them, a girl, who died in her early teens. After the death of her husband, Ella Robinson Madison again started out to take care of herself, and has done so up to this day. But from the grandeur of those early days when she was beautiful, acted, sang and danced in famous music halls and theatres, she became house-cleaner and nurse-maid.

This play was one of the first shows at the historically famous Ford's Opera House in Washington, D.C. When the cast of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" sailed for Europe, Ella Robinson was with them. This was in 1878 on the S.S. Adriatic. They played in London and the provinces of England. Afterwaros going to Germany and Switzerland. This was the first of a number of voyages abroad for her. Returning to this country she joined Charles Asbury in an act that was known as "The Virginia Duo." They opened at the old Museum Theatre in New York City. Ella Robinson went abroad again with this act, adding Holland to the former countries visited. Then came her association with Herman Lindy's Female Quartet. With this group she travelled ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—May 10, 1930 MRS. ELLA ROBINSON MADISON conti- $ \textcircled{4} $ that she was brought to the attention dates in of an executive of the Theatre Guild travel for their then proposed production of Dubose and Dorothy Heyward's play, "Porgy." So one day during the early fall of 1927, she entered very quietly the rehearsal room at the Guild Theatre. Rouben Mamoulian, the Russo-Armenian director of "Porgy," asked her to sing some old Negro folk-songs for him. She asked for a guitar. One was found. Then in a charming and graceful manner this old lady with lovely white hair and a smiling countenance, sat on a stool in the center of the room and played a gay tune known as, "All the Gold in the Mountain." This song is sung in the scene of the play showing the return from the picnic. As she sang and played, one heard other prospective members of the cast say: "She has her job." And it was so. For the director of the play and other officials of the Guild realized that here was one of the finest actors for their play. During the rehearsals of "Porgy," Director Mamoulian discovered Mrs. Madison was having some trouble retaining her lines in the part of Annie. Whenever she was given her que to speak, she came back with a line that was not in the script, but one that was nevertheless very clever. So it was finally decided that she would be allowed to create her own lines and bits of atmosphere if they fitted in. One of the finest bits in the play is that between Annie (Mrs. Madison) and Jake, the fisherman (Wesley Hill) during the scene of the return from the picnic. She also has a line in the second scene of the last act that always brings roars of laughter. "Porgy" is now ending its long run of, two years and a half, being a tremendous success wherever it played. This includes a year on Broadway, and part of last season on the road, seiling for London later, where it played for three months. This season it has repeated its success on the road. During their long run, Ella Madison has become "Mother" to every member of the cast. She speaks of them as her children. Two of her birthdays have been celebrated by the cast—the first one in Philadelphia, at the Garrick Theatre in May, 1928, where a party was held on the stage; another in London in May, 1929, at His Majesty's Theatre, where she was presented a large cake and flowers. When "Porgy" sailed on March 25, 1929, for its London engagement, Ella Madison went abroad for the tenth time. She stood the voyage like a regular seaman—illness being one of the "PORO" COLD CREAM Only a Clean Skin Can be Beautiful The truly beautiful complexion is the result of cleansing the skin thoroughly every day to purge it of the dirt and grime that are in the air.

During the past fifty years, she hasn't had a day's serious illness. In the fall of 1928, Mrs. Madison discovered her eldest sister living in Weedsport, N.Y. She paid her a visit while "Porgy" was playing in Rochester. It was their first meeting since 1888. Mrs. Victoria Northup is the name of her sister. She is the wife of Solomon Northup, the slave who assisted Harriet Tubman in bringing the slaves through the Underground Railway. Mrs. Madison is the youngest of ten children, and her sister is the oldest. She is an invalid, surrounded by her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, whose parents are of both races. When Ella Robinson-Madison was a small girl her pet name was "Pidge." Her sister now sits by a window waiting for "Pidge" to return from Dublin, where she last remembers her going, since her mind is feeble. Mrs. Madison endeavors to get as much joy out of life as she possibly can. She has a dog whose full name is Florence Rochet Matilda Madison. But Matilda, is what she is called. No dog receives greater care. Once Mrs. Madison went to purchase a license for her pet. Upon being asked the name of the dog, she said: "Florence Rochet Matilda Madison." The clerk at the desk quite sternly replied: "I don't want your name, but the dog's." She is saving a large portion of her earnings for the day when she is too old to care for herself. Then she will take Matilda, and go "over the hills to the old folks home," where she will pay for them to be well cared for, that they may always be together. But at present that day is very far off, since she is sore aching wrist?

At iength. feeling the blood coursing swiftly through him, and a slight perspiration dampening his body, he sat down while Kelly, under Kling’s keen supervision. wound the layers of gauze and tape around his hands which boxers use to keep from break- ing or injuring their fighting imple- ments. Just as Kelly finished, a call boy stuck his head in the door. “Ail right, Mr, Kling, the last fight’s over. Your boy is due on now. The boss says come on in.” Kelly threw Rod’s brilliant dress- ing gown around his shoulders. At the door Kling halted Rod. His face was serious. “Now, my boy,” he said gently, “Tm hoping that you're gonna win. I want that you should try hard. I'm not going to tell you how to make your fight. And if you lose, you don’t have to feel bad, because I’m just a silly old man who has maybe over- matched his fighter.” There was a suspicious moisture in Rod’s manager's eyes. He turned away abruptly and went out of the door. Kelly and Rod exchanged glances. “T told you it would break his heart if you didn’t win, Cowboy,” Kelly whispered. ROD DOWN FOR A COUNT Rod’s jaw hardened, but he said nothing. The distance to the ring was cov- ered pickly amid the tumultuous shouts of the thousands of fight fans. Latzo had already reached the ring and sat unflurried in his corner. A new box of gloves was opened, and were quickly donned by the two fight- ers. The referee called them to their corners, to await the gong which would send them together in battle. The glaring lights overhead and the sea of faces outside the ring made the whole scene blur in Rod’s eyes and mind. When the gong clanged he moved toward the center of the ring automatically. As Latzo danced lightly toward him, Rod seemed to see his enemy in a haze which made him assume grotesque proportions. His opponent's eyes seemed to gleam malevolently, while the rest of his body seemed suspend- ed in thin air. ‘Then they came together. Rod never remembered what happened until the floor seemed to rise up and smite him with terrible force in the “ace. He could hear the roaring of the crowd beating into his benumbed consciousness, wave on wave. He seemed also to hear Kling’s voice bleating like a wounded lamb some- where far away. He turned over on his back laboriously. A man whose face swam dizzily before his eyes was raising and lowering his hand ‘slowly, while his voice tolled off the fatal count: “One—two—three—four.” Roo blinked and shook his head. Somehow he managed to get to one knee, then a wave of dizziness ants over him and he tumbled back the floor in a limp heap. ‘The referee's count continued in- exorably: “—five—six—seven—eight.

That the "Professor" tried to work money out of persons in jail was proven in the case of a woman in a Georgia town sentenced to be hanged recently. She asked for a new trial on the ground that the authorities had secured the correspondence between herself and Williams and used it in the case against Williams. The "Professor" was quite a sport and drove a big car around Lake City. He spent money lavishly in Lake City. He operated a pool room and a cafe for several months, on the side, and his cash register was robbed frequently. In Lake City there is a Negro school known as a Rosenwald school, established by Julius Rosenwald of Chicago, who contributed to the expense of erecting the building. One proviso in making a donation is that the patrons of the school themselves must raise $500 or $1,000 or some specified sum, in order to demonstrate their desire for a school building before the Rosenwald fund assists. Being a man of money "Professor" Williams was called on for a donation to help raise the patrons' quota and he responded with a sizable sum, it is said, although he was working against his own interest — education works against the "voodoo" business. At one time the "Professor" organized a brass band and a ball club among the young people of the school and the colored section of the town. Williams attended Tuskegee Institute in Alabama at one time. He had been in Lake City about a year and a half when arrested. Released on bond after his arrest, he laughed as if his superstitious practices were a joke when asked about his mail order business. He was arrested several times and paid heavy fines in Lake City for selling liquor. He also had trouble with the police in Miami, Tampa, Jacksonville and New Orleans.

If it is desirable to achieve a decorative effect—to cut the slices into odd shapes and sprinkle them with paprika or parsley—show your patrons the courtesy of providing an additional dish of quartered lemons, so that the juice may be easily squeezed on to the fish. Lemon juice added to sweet milk will sour it suitably for cooking. Add a small amount of lemon juice and grated rind in stewing such dried fruits as prunes, figs, peaches and so on. Tough meats will be made tender by adding a teaspoon of lemon juice to water in which they are boiled. CLASSIFIED ADVERTISEMENTS HELP WANTED-MALE BANKRUPT AND BARGAIN SALES -- Big Profits.
