Pierson, Sr., murder case, which have already led to the arrest of Dr. A. M. Townsend. Sr., secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board, his son Dr. A. M. Townsend, Jr., physician, Rev. J. F. Westbrooks, prominent Indianapolis minister, and George Washington, alleged notorious gunman, indicate that before the trial is held several other prominent churchmen and ministers will be implicated. With the report that the elder Townsend, Westbrook, and Washington had been re-indicted, the sentiment was freely expressed in certain sections that the prosecution had lost ground. This opinion was dispelled by a statement by E. D. Pierson, Jr., who has been active in the investigation since the funeral of his father. "We intend to push this case to the utmost and if necessary, all of the resources of the Pierson family, donations from friends and others interested in seeing justice done, will be used to see that this end is reached. We have not, since the investigation began, found it necessary to retrace any step made or to retract one statement made. Those charged with the crime were first arrested upon affidavit for murder. "The indictment charging them with conspiracy to commit a felony, to wit: murder, was the first indictment reached. This was necessary, due to the fact that under VIRGINIA PRIMARY VICTORY BRINGS COMMENTS FROM SOUTH ERN EDITORS New York, July 3—The victory won in the U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals by the National Association for he Advancement of Colored People against the White Primary exclusion of colored voters in Democratic primary elections, has brought mazy editorials from white southern editors calling attention to he importance of the victory. The Gadsden, Alabama, Times declares: "The decision of the Court of Appeals that the Democratic party in Virginia has no legal right to bar Negroes from elections presents one of the gravest citiuationss developed since the Negroes were encouraged to take an increasing part in southern politics as a result of the Republican victories in several southeren states in 1928." The editor warns that the South is drifting "dangerously scar to a return to the unspakeable conditions which arose during the period of Reconstruction" and comments on the part played by the N. A. A. C. P. in "breaking down the barriers erected by the Democrats of the South against the Negro race." He continues: "The ascendency of the Association for the Advancement of the Colored Race since four southern states went Republican in 1928 and Democratic majorities were slashed severely is others, has been one of the amazing post-election developments." This editor asserts that the "only solution" of is for the South to become "more solid" than ever and "to demonstrate by vote that it has nosympathy for the social or political aspirations of the smart-axel northern Negroes who are laughing in their sleeves as they achieve victory over the South and over the southern sentiment." Other editorial comments from the South on the Virginia White Primary decision are as follows: Naorfolk, Va., Virginia Pilot: "It may as well be accepted as final in the South that the constitutional provisions applying to general elections apply with equal force to primary elections, and that there is no legal way to close primary elections to Negro voters merely because they are not white voters." Greensboro, N. C. News: "Most Democrats were probably aware of that but they didn't expect Negroes to go into court to secure the privilege of voting in a Democratic primary." Durham, N. C. Herald: "The day of raising the Negro as an issue in politics is rapidly disappearing. Neither party will have a right to arouse prejudice on that issue. He will be in politics more and more each election, and will be found voting the Republican and Democratic tickets as it suits his view." Asheville, N. C. Times: "If Negro votes for Democrats are acceptable in the general election, why not permit the small number of Negroes qualified to register and vote in the primaries if they so desire?" Richmond, Va., News Leader: "Unless Virginia intends to adopt a deliberate policy of Fascism, she must adjust herself to the conditions brought about by the better education of a new generation of Negroes." Greenville, S. C. News: "——the ruling is of rofround interest to southern states, particularly those southern states which have a high percentage of Negro citizenship and where the Democratic primary is, frankly, a mechanism for a white man's selection of candidates for public office." Argument Over Wages Responsible For Another Lynching In Texas ROME, GA., EDITOR WAKES UP TO 'MENACE' OF N. A. A. C. P. ACTIVITY OF NEGROES GROWS The startling success of the Association for the Avancement of Colored Peopleace in defeating Judge Jarker, of North Carolina for the Supreme Court bench has stirred the organization into greater activity than at any time in the past, according to a writer in The Washington Sunday Post. Not only so, but according to the same authority, the victory has greatly enhanced the 'prestige' of the authority, the victory has greatly' encamped the 'prestige' of the Negro association. The article says in part. Negro political conscience has been much stirred by the Senate's rejection of Judge Parker. The case may stimulate a revival in parts of the South of the race question as an acute political issue. "One of the most significant aspects of the struggle is the prestige boost given the National Association for the Advancement of the Colored rave. This (the defea of Judge Parker) probably establishes for that organization a place in the Negro world comparable to that long exercised bw the Anti-Saloon League in the organized prohibitionists sphere." After predicting that this "boost" to the National Association for the Advancement of the Negro race (whose real object is the establishment of social equality), will give it a power practically equal to that enjoyed by the Anti-Saloon League, the writer in The Washington Post calls specific attention to the "political skill" of the Negro organization, saying: "No users of pressure tactics is politics ever demonstrated finer generalship than they displayed in opposing Judge Parker's nomination." This praise of the "generalship" of the Negroes no doubt was evoked in large part by the fact that they suc- the law of Indiana no one can be charged with murder who is not in Indiana, at the time of the crime. The defendants, Dr. A. M. Townsend, and his son, Dr. A. M. Jr., will be tried for murder by agent, and conspiracy to murder; Washington with murder in first degree and Westbrook with conspiracy. The case will be submitted to a jury of our peers and upon them will rest the judgment." Argument Over W For Another Ly Austin, Texas. July—(CNA) For seeking to collect his wages, Jack Robertson, Negro worker, was lynched yesterday afternoon between here and Round Rock by a posse of 150 planters who took up the hunt ten minutes after Robertson had shot in self-defence, his employer, R. L. Eggar of Round Rock, and his wife. Robertson had gone to his employer's house to collect his wages when he was viciously attacked by both Eggar and his wife. Robertson defended himself, emptying a shot gun into the white couple. Eggar was shot in the head and breast with bird-shot and may lose the sight of his right eye. Mrs. Eggar was shot in the breast and side. Robertson did not harm their 14-year old daughter, who was a witness to the quarrel over wages.After he had departed, this girl spread the alarm. A posse of planters at once took up the chase, determined to make as example of any Negro who dared to put up a fight for his wages. Robertson's is the fourth lynching in Texas and thirteenth throughout he souf for this year—two more during the entire twelve months of 1929. A significant feature of this latest lynching is the manner in which it was handled b y the capitalist press. In the story sent out by the Associated Press, the economic content of the lynching was permitted to creep in. The Texas correspondent of the Associated Press had temporarily forgotten to put forward the rape buskem and had admitted that Robertson had shot his boss in a quarrel over wages. The New York Times carried the dispatch as it was sent out by the Associated Press, but the New York Daily News deleted the part about wages and headed the dispatch "Mob Lynches Colored Gunman." The New York World also had attacked a white couple without provocation. Washington, D. C., July—(CNA) First Sargeant John F. Fitzgerald-Brown, who was i command of the marine detachment which fired into the ranks of a demonstration by Haitian peasants against American imperialism at Aux Gayes, on December 8, 1929, was yesterday commended for his "valuable and efficient services" in murdering Haitian peasants in the interests of the City National Bank and other imperialist institutions now engaged in bleeding the Haitian masses. N. A. A. C. P. Adopts Strong Resolutions At Twenty First Annual Conference At Springfield, Massachusetts SCULPTOR PROTESSES COLOR BAR OF SALEMME'S ROBESON STATUE New York, July 8.— Karl Ilava, sculptor, living in New York, has given to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored people a copy of a letter which he sent to the Art Alliance of Philadelphia, protesting against the rejection for a Philadelphia exhibition of Antonio Salemme's nude statue of Paul Robeson, In his letter Mr. ILava said in part: "Saemme's work needs no praise of mine. That his ability has long since been reconized is no news to art lovers of this country. I have had the honor of knowing Paul Robeson these many years. He is one of our most distinguished Americans, a gentleman, an artist of the highest type. When racial prejudice enters the door of the art jury room then all I can say and with sadness, is God help American!" ceeded in enlisting the aid of Senator Hillier, whose public utterances always have been quite at variance with his action in connection with the Parker ease. The significant nature of the victory of the Association for the Advancement of the Colored race also is commented upon at great length by Mark Sullivan, well known political authority, who, writing in the Republican New York Tribune forecasts a renewal of the fight of the Negroes to obtain a large voice in the political affairs of the South. In this connection he says: "That the National Association for the Advancement of the Colored people will force its energies upon conditions affecting Negro participation in Democratic primaries in Southern States can be taken for granted." This means that the next move of the Negro organization will be directed toward breaking down he barriers erected by he Democrates of the South to prevent the Negro having a dominant voice in affairs political, and it is a ringing challenge that should serve to arouse every Southerner to the gravity of the issues involved in approaching elocitats. No man who has truckled to the Association for the Advancement of Colored People should be supported by any Southerner who stands for the supremacy of he white race and for the preservation of the political status usher that the wings of the Negro politician in the South remain clipped.

A NEWSPAPER OF LOCAL INTEREST RICHMOND, VA., SATURDAY, JULY 12, 1930 New York, July 3.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in its twenty-first annual session at Springfield, Mass., June 25-July 1, Adopted strong resolutions, the substance of which is as follows: "No element of the American population has felt the present economic depression as keenly as the American Negro and this fact illustrates perhaps better than anything else the nature of our problem. Thegrandchildren of the slaves have achieved physical freedom, legal satis, and political power in the earth, but their economic bondage still setters them. They form in the mass a great reservoir of unskilled and semiskilled labor, paid on the lowest scale of current wages, lived last in times of prosperity and fired first in days of depression. The attitude of the trade unions continues to be such that it is difficult for Negroes to acqire siluki or raise their standards of living and public opinion still regards the place of the Negro as properly near the line of sheer physical existence. This situation indicates the most important field for unceasing agitation, for more thoughtful education. We demand the efforts in Chicago New York and elsewhere to use the economic power of Negro consumers in order to open opportunity for wider employment. This movement deserves the cooperation of everyone. There is every indication that the time for a renewed arsenic battle for the civil rights of the Negro is at hand. It seems certain that the N. A. A. C. P. can launch during the next year in the court of the nation a widespread battle against the disfranchisement laws and custom ins the eight Southern States where disfranchisement laws were passed between 1890 and 1910. And above all, we are going to attach the discrimination in school funds customary in nearly all the Southern States and even in some of the Northern States which gives to the already underprivileged Negro child less than half the Chance of learning to read and write and acquiring the elements of education that is given to the none too fortunate white child. Our triumph in the defeat of Judge Parker, whom President Hoover appointed to the Supreme Court, was due not only to the sound logic of our contention that a Surpreme Court Justice must supprt the Fifteenth Amendment, but even more to the weight of our growing political power. Uuless, therefore, that political power is used independently and honestly for the support of candidates Who stand for democracy and against caste and color prejudice, as well as for the larger matters of liberal reform in this country, we cannot hope for further triumphs of this sort. The Parker victory is a demand for independent voting on the part of the Negro regardless of former party affiliations. SOUTHERN EDITOR PAYS COMPLIMENTS TO (UPPITY) NEGROES IN N. A. A. C. P. As was to have been expected when the Association for the Advancement of the Colored race won its fight upon Judge Parker, fresh demands have arisen the latest move being to force the mixing of white and black Gold star Mothers, on the trip to Europe. Arrangements properly had been made to carry the Negro mothers in a group to themselves, just as the white mothers are being carried, but this was altogether unsatisfactory to the League for the Advancement of the Colored race, an now the demand is made that all distinctions be abolished and the groups be sent as one, preferably white and coloredwomen occupying the same cabin a board ship, the same births on sleeping cars and eating together at the same tables in hotels and restaurants. These (uppity) Negroes in the North whose agitation is doing the commonsense Negroes of the South much harm claim that the Negroes Mothers are bethey are raising sand about it. And,ing (jim crowed) and (insulted) and unless there hs been a decided stiffening in the back of Republicians, and some such Democrats as Senator Helfin, who aided the Negroes in their victory over Judge Parker, the mothers, white and black, will be mixed as is demanded That an issue of this nature and a demand of this kind should be made is disgraceful but simply proves what every Southern Knows; which is that to give one of these Republicanized Negroes an inch means that he will take a yard The revival of the fight of the Northern Negroes for social equality began with the announcement that the wife of the Negro engressman from Illinois had been entertained at a White House tea, and matters have since been going from bad to worse. The only solution is to put real Democrats to the front in the Democrati carty and put the Democrati carty in power. Under Colored Manager St. Louis.—(By A. N.

WHITE MTMBERSMIP APPLICANT New York, July 3—An address recently delivered by Congressman Oscar De Priest brought a letter from Arthur A. Flower, a white man of Holland, Michigan, applying for membership in the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Mr. Flower's letter is as follows: Firstly I am white-what of it. No one asked me, before I was born, what color I chose to be so I am neither to be commended nor condemned for it. I was brought up to hate no man with out just cause and I think racial hatred is the silliest and most uncalled for element in our so-called civilization. I draw no color line and until I can find some good, sensible reason why I should, I never will. I heard your address in Grand Rapids the evening of May 21 and enjoyed it thoroughly. I wish to ask you if there is any reason why I could not become a member of the N. A. A. C. P. If this Association is for the banding together of Colored people, not in a combative gestur but rather as a well organized league toquity assert their rights as citizens, then I am whole-hearted for it and wish to become a membe I am only a working man and perhaps could not do a great deal but with each member doing a little, when taken altogether means much. My feelings and sympathies are all for it and I would willingly, gladly do all that I could.' Membership information and an invitation to join the N. A. A. C. P. have been sent to Mr. Flower. STEEL MILLS EXPLOIT NEGROES IN SOUTH, SAYS ARTICLE New York, July 3.— That steel mills exploit Negro laborers in the South, overworking and underpaying them, is the contention of an article on (The Steel Mills Today) in the New Republic, summarized by the N.

Brooks Admitted To West Point Military Academy; Nominated By DePriest Denton J. Brooks Admitted To West Point Military Academy; Nominated By DePriest Fishing On The Fourth Af five-thirty on the morning of the Fourth, a party of ten set out for the Rappahannock River, sixty miles away. The party consisted of Dr. J. M. Newman, noted physician and professional huntsman, Dr. R. Beecher Taylor, popular dentist and sportsman, Rev. A. W. Brown, pastor great Sixth Mt. Zion Church and preacher of national note, Mr. Armstead Washington capitalist and eminent churchman, Attorney Jas. T. Carter, outstanding jurist and typical Southern gentleman, Mr. John Fleming, well-known for his long and honorable connection with the firm of Boschen Company, B. L. Jordan, business magnate and insurance promoter extra-ordinary, B. A. Cephas, realtor and broker of considerable note, Mr. George Walker, efficient house manager for the home office building of the great Southern Aid Insurance Company. The writer also went along. The waters of the Rappahannock were placid and a gentle haze saved the party from the merciless severity of the summer sun and withal the day was ideal for the gladsome pursuit of a party on pleasure凄. The question naturally arose as to who would be the leader, and without dissent Dr. Newman was nominated to take the lead; and he indeed led the party with 23 nice ones. Dr. Beechey Taylor followed with 16, and might have done better but for a series of broad smiles which accompanied thoughts of the dear wife and dear kiddies back home. Such smiles as he "smole" invariably drove the fish away. The party agreed that Father Time would cure his "smiling complaint." Mr. Washington came next with 14 dandies. He is the one fisherman who always forces Dr. Newman to do his fishing stuff or take a back seat. Armsteed Washington is nobilly. Armsteed with a hook and line! Then followed Mr. Walker with 10 good ones. Mr. Walker might have done considerably better but he not taken such GOV. MOODY'S AMBASSADOR Governor Dan Moody, who permitted a man to be lynched while the National Gaurd and the Texas Hangers looked on does not like the publicity given Texas by London newspapers. To offset this truthful statement of the mob murder at Sherman, the Governor has sent an amofficial ambassador to London to spread a tissue of lies concerning 'Why we lynch Negroes in texas with the consent of public officials.' The Honorable (DAN) need not get excited, the civilized world has been knowing for a long time about our little lynching parties. That white women and children pitch fuel on the blazing body of an innocent victim (every man nounced guilty buy a court of law), is presumed to be innocent until pro-common knowledge. Evidently the story published in a London newspaper struck the Hon. (DA below the belt. It has him hanging on the ropes. We remember that one time the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People displayed in London placards which told of America's mob murders. If America dislikes the truth being published in foreign newspapers, colored people should use all of their power to get such news prominently displayed. But it will cost money. The N. A. A. C. P has shown that it understands the wisdom of such a policy. Would it not be an excellent idea for Negroes to seud an unofficial ambassador to London to counteract Governor Moody's plan to whitewash the lynching in Sherman? Again we place the burden on the one organization which can do the job. The idea is fundamentally sound and would bring results, but the treasury of the N. A. A. C. P. is in need of funds and because of the lack of funds many excellent plans must be abandoned. Truly can it be said that Negroes do not get justice because they are unwilling to pay the price.

Mr. Fleming next with nine "beauta" Then came B. A. Cephas with seven nice ones. Altho Mr. Cephas took matter rather easy at first, when the afternoon wore on and he had taken nothing, he apparently became distressed at the idea of betaking his "fisherish" self back to the waiting wife. It was evident that he had one considerable bragging around Lome! It was evident also that Mrs. Cephas has a way of wanting him to "say it with fish." Judge Carter at first tried to make it appear that he was out merely for the "fun of the thing," but the party made it plain that catching fish is the only way to have fun on a fishing trip. Furthermore it was hard to convince nine men that a man would drive sixty miles and surround himself with so much water without having in the back of his head the notion that he could catch a fish. With his alibi broken down, the Judge landed one 6 nice ones as the sun was sinking low. Next came the writer who pulled in five of the brainiest fish in the river and nothing but great angling could have landed them. After Drs. Newman and Taylor had failed to take them, the writer did his stuff to demonstrate to the crowd what a fisherman can do when hardpressed. With the five actually caught and the twenty "almost caught the witter easily led the field. One of those we almost caught was a "whopper." It is this way: Reverend A. W. Brown goes a fishing often and he always returns home with glowing stories of what "we" caught. The writer was quite anxious to know what part the eminent pastor played in the "we" catchings. On the Fourth Dr. Brown caught only three, one of which was known throughout the Rappahannock for his stupidity, the second was afflicted with sleeping sickness and the third was desperately careless! In fact the question arose as to whether Rev. Brown actually caught the three little fellows or whether they accidentally got hung on his hook. It was generally agreed that they got hung without provocation on the part of eminent divine! Reverend Brown carried more fish home than anybody else where he doubtless spread the "we stuff" thick! "Twas a "grand and glorious Fourth." GORDON B. HANCOCK. See A UIE e af Es pes he Oo a Sirs. NN . SS, a LEADERS By Joe Simpson There is at the present time much speculation as to who are the leaders in this city, and to our minds this speculation is in order, provided, however, we do not let our interest stop here. Richmond needs a general re-organization of her spiritual, mor- al, social and economic forces. We need a general audit and in- vestigation of our so-called civic leaders. In this city, as in any other, we have many supposed leaders, but the question which should be paramount in our minds, is where and to what are they leading us. How many men in public life today in this city are devo- ting any o ftheir time toward the civic and political develop- ment of the masses in this city? How many are doing thier best to instill race pride and unity into the minds of those that come under the hearing of their voices? How many of them practice the things they preach? In answer to the above ques- tions we must say that, they are few and far between. In building up our caste system which is in operation here today, we have built the gallows and supplied the rope with which to break our own necks. The man who has financial in- fluence among his race can have no dealings, except they be of a business nature with the man who has a sterling character and an unquestionable reputation of honesty, integrity and morali- ty. In other words we value a man not by what he is, but by what he has. One minister was recently criticized by another here because of the fact that he would come around to the door of the church and shake hand with members and friends of his ehurch. The complaining minister said that he felt that such actions lowered the dignity of the profession. Such gross igno- rance on the part of a so-called minister of the gospel can not’ be excused. We must say, that here is one man who is proba- bly the highest educated minister in Richmond who has not gor-| gotten the arts of kindness and condescension, and who has not) made the fatal mistake of letting education and a little honor and influence turn him a fool. Such men are a shining example for men of lesser accom- plishments, education, honor and influence to strive to imitate. We have too many men of this complaining ministers type, men who are puffed up with false pride, who are too big to stoop down and get the hand of th poor man and give him a lift, he does no tonce think of the force that put him on his high plane, the poor man that is so sorely scorned by him is the one that supplies his daily bread. When we better the condition of the masses, we thereby better our own condition for the wealth of the upper-crust of the Negro race comes from no othr source than from the toiling Negro masses. 1 For sixty years we have been continually taught how to die, so much so tha twe have become experts in that art, let us now learn how to live and dying will become one of the least of our worrieo. Let us learn that the high the low, the rich and the poor ware created as one common family to aid support and pro- tect each other; practicing this theory we will become in im- portant cog in th wheel of American progress. Ministers are considered the most influential men in the Negro rare today, next in order romes the Negro teashers in the schools, Negro editors and columinsts come next, next in order rome the Negro business man, the Negro lawyer and the Negro doctor. Great possibilities lie in the hands of men of these pro- fessions in shaping the destinies of oncoming generations of Negroes. TMinisters must consider it their duty to do more than try to keep their members names on the church books, it is their du- ty to teach their communicants how to meet the many difficul- ties faced in their daily lives, how to improve their condition in life as a whole; constructive and uplifting discourses upon the practical side of life flavored with the spice of a short plain and unadorned spiritual lesson is the thing that will keep the young people in the church. The day of hell and damnation sermons is past. Negro teachers are charged with shaping the mind of the child and instilling into it those virtues that go to make up manly men and womanly women, they like parents must re- member that their actions have more effect in shaping the fu- ture actions of the child than all the teaching they can give them. ___ Negro editors and columnists are the molders of public opin- ion, they shauld therefore cater to the masses as well as the classes they must strive to write in terms that the masses can read and understand; the writings of some editors and column- ists can not be read and understood by any other than college graduate while the majority of our people have no more than a common education. They therefore cater to a class that is such a small minority of the race that it is unable to adequatelly sup- port them. They should write and publish more news of an en- lightening, educational and instructive nature and less of the passion stirring and sensation news. Black and tan marriages and divorces should forever be discarded from th fron tpages and headlines of Negro newspapers. We by our actions in giving such new prominence encourage such escapades when we should treat them with contempt. (Continued on Page 3) So aT MOORE ST.

He made the announcements, and the ushers gath ered the offering for Missions. The ushers of the JUNIOR CHURCH raised their Missionary offering, a the same time. The Senior choir ren- dered excellent music while these of- ferings were being raised.” BRO. TILMUN: “I want to ask you something about that newly or- ganized JUNIOR CHURCH after while. I am very interested! Contin ue.” AMPLIFIER: “The hour for preaching having arrived, Dr. Par- ham, the pastor, came forward and after making some preliminary re- marks, respecting the newly organ- ized Church; sang, “Lead me to that Rock that’s Higher than I,’ ete.” BRO, TILMUN: “U-m-m, sce that the pastor is a songster too, I am just as eager to hear good sisging as I am to hear good preaching.” AMPLIFIER: “To my mind he is quite an excellent singer.” BRO. TILMUN: “It is time we vere talking about the sermon. What AMPLIFIER: “His subject was, ‘Impossibility of Concealing Christ.’ Words: And from thence he arose, and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into an house, and would have no man know t: but he could not be hid, Text found in St. Mark 7:24.” BRO. TILMUN: “That subject sounds good to me, wish I had heard that sermon.” AMPLIFIER: “The delivery was impressive, powerful, spiritual, carching and captivating. This ser- mon stirred the audience and was lis- tened to with intense interest. Those who did not ery aloud, used their nandkerchiefs to catch their silent cars, Rev. Parham does not try to preach big sermons for no-to-ri-e-ty. neither does he try to tiekle the peo- ple’s faney, but he preaches the GOSPEL just as the Lord has com- manded him to preach—uncompro- mnisingly.” BRO. TILMUN: “That’s the kind of preaching we like. Do the meia- bers seem to like him well?” AMPLIFIER: “Certainly; they seem to be very pleased with him and his splendid leadership. The members are co-operating with him, and the church is rapidly progressing, both spiritually and financially. Many people know how hard Mosby strug: gled in finding a shepherd, but now the church is moving onward and up ward, with her head ‘Lifted Above the Clouds.’ This church has becom an irresistible magnet for drawing the people.” BRO. TILMUN: “We heard that they have ORGANIZED the JUN. IOR CHURCH also, What about it?” AMPLIFIER: “Yes, brother Til- mun, they have really’ Organized the Junior Church. They were presen and active in the services this mora- ing, (Sunday, July 6th), After the sermon they sang, ‘I Want to See Je sus, Don't You.” BRO. TILMUN: “That's splendid. We fecl that the Baptist Churche: have fallen short in looking after the YOUNG PEOPLE. They get them in the chureh, and don’t pay any more attention to them. That is one of the reasons the churches are COLD.” AMPLFER: “Yes, I agree with you. Until these churches see the necessity of organizing the young people, they are going to continue to go back to the world. And, our Churches will continue to be COLD.” BRO. TILMUN: “What other churehés in the city have organized the JUNIOR CHURCH?” AMPLIFIER: “I only know of one and that is Fifth Street Baptist Church, whose pastor is Dr. C. C. Scott.” BRO. TILMUN: “I thought you were going to say Sixth Mount Zion, because Dr. A. W. Brown is certain- ly a wide-a-wake and progressive pastor of this city, He is second to none. AMPLIFIER: “It does seem very strange that the great historical Sixth Mount Zion Baptist Church has not organized a Junior Church yet. But I understand that it is not Dr. Brown’s fault. He has been ying to organize a JUNIOR CHURCH ever since he has been pastoring at that chureh. But I am sorry that, the members (some of them) have not yet seen the real ne- cessity of having a JUNIOR CHURCH. I am praying that their eyes will soon open, and they will see the need of organizing — their young people inta \the JUNIOR CHURCH. To tell the truth, there is a hypocritie bunch of old mem- bers at Sixth Mount Zion who be- lieve in just shouting and cutting the fool in God's House. Rev, Jas- per could not do very much with them, Dr. R. V. Peyton could not do much with them, and they will not give Dr. Brown the best. co-opera- tion. Many of them seem to think that the young people are going to hell; well, I agree with them, they will go to hell, if they (the young people) follow’ into all the foot- prints that some of our oldé® peo- ple are making. We honor and love the old people, but some of them must be told of their short comings and hellish ways. Some of the older people think they can make it to heaven by jumping up in the church shouting, running from the pulpit to the front entrance of the church, tearing off their coats and hats, hol- lering, falling on the pews, and sc on, But, they can not get to heaven that way. And, when church meet- ings are held, this same buch, ob- jects to nearly every good move- ment the church sees fit to make Pastors see the real necessity of or- ganizing the young people into the church. And they should get, busy and organize the JUNIOR CHURCH. Read St. Mork 10:14, and you will find that Jesus is calling for the Junior Church. They may not co-op- erate with you very well in the be- ginning, but tkey will. Marl my pre- diction.” BRO. TILMUN: “We got off the subject a litlethat time but we will legin where we left off.

Every one is invited, By JOE SIMPSON The Negro business man must learn te treat those who will deal with him with courtesy and respectfi discontinuing the old policy ot treating his customers as if they were scum under his teet, his superiority complex has been largely responsible for his failure in the past. He must learn to meet the trade with a smile regardless to their station in life; the white man does it not so much on account of the customer, or his station in life but because of what the customer may have in his pocket. Our lawyers and doctors as a rule are so high up on the social seale that those of meagre means can not get to them to patronize them, the wall of social prestige and distinction built up around them have practically isolated them from the people to whom they must cater in order to be of any great service to the race. We who cater to the Negro public, we who loop to the toilers for our daily bread must not forget to feed the goose that lays our golden eggs, for if the goose dies we have no other visible means of support, if our store of provisions id depleted we have no other alternative but to perish.

Ziff Co., 608 S. Dearborn St., Chicago Advertising Representatives MAD REVENGE Infuriated Love Eig By EYE G. BILLINGS Do unrequited loves invariably lead to tragedies? Does it pay to love too well instead of wisely? Does love really transcend race and class? Here is a coldblooded strange story of how a handsome chap with colored and Indian blood in his impetuous veins met his death when his mad love for an Indian girl led him one day, to murder all that came within the fire of his unfailing rifle. About 8 miles from Okeechobee a few years ago, one of the most gruesome tragedies in the history of the South took place. It was a direct result of unrequited love. It was the culmination of a hatred born of a despaired of affection for one who was utterly inaccessible. Wisely it has been said, "When an Indian hates, he hates; when an Indian loves, he loves." The combined love and hate of Jim the Jumper, the good-looking but ill-fated admirer of the cloistered Red Bird caused the death eight innocent persons—all of whom objected to the budding romance between Jim and the maiden daughter of the Seminole chieftain. Jim was not responsible for the fiery mixed blood that inflamed his stalwart body; it was beyond his power to curb the passion and devotion that was innate in his very being. So one day he slew without reason and restraint until he had made a certain spot near West Palm Beach, Florida, as long remembered for its blood-stained memory as the Argonne forest. The hundreds of thousands of tourists who, every winter, drive swiftly along the smooth highway from St. Petersburg and Tampa to Fort Pierce and West Palm Beach, Florida, pass close to the spot near the shore of Lake Okeechobee where occurred one of the most tragic events in the latter days of Seminole history—the wholesale slaying of innocent Indians by demoniacal Jim the Jumper, whose father was A THE BLUE HERON of the Everglades, often found in the vicinity of the Seminole camps. The Richmond Planet ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—July 12, 1930 SUNDAY, JULY 10, 1914 RED BIRD, over whom the half-breed Jim lost his mind and turned killer. The Seminoles are a proud and independent race of people who have never hauled down their banner of complete independence. They are people of curious interest to the hosts of pilgrims who chance fleeting limps of some of them now and then, along the highways of the Okeechobee and Everglade regions in South Florida. Today, as of old, the Seminoles are respected by all for their dignity, sturdy independence, honest and morality. For many years the Seminoles, whose name means "the lost men" or wanderers, were in an almost continual state of warfare with the whites, and this active hostility is said by authors of Seminole histories to have started because of the Seminole habit of harboring slaves who ran away from bondage, many years before the Civil War. The Seminoles sympathized heartily with the slaves and gave them refuge and shelter. In turn, the refugees became the faithful retainers of their Indian protectors. It was this custom of giving asylum to runaway slaves that led, indirectly, to the tragedy of the peace-loving Seminole camp. The trouble grew out of the presence in the camp of the Cow Creek Seminoles of a colored girl—an esta-lus-tee hoke-ti-chee in the Seminole language. Tradition as to how she came to be there is not certain, but there is a story or legend that she was the child of a colored man who had fled to the wilds of South Florida, having come from one of the Northern states. This colored fugitive, had an uncommon love for his little daughter, and when he had been compelled to flee, had taken the child with him. After reaching Florida, he made his way to the Kitsimmee River, a fair-sized stream more than a hundred miles long, which flows south and carries the surplus water from a group of lakes to Lake Okeechobee. When he arrived at the river, he found a canoe, in which he made his way down the river. While traveling southward in Florida, he kept out of sight of human eyes as well as he could, and lived on the "cabbage" in the top of cabbage palmettoes, sparkleberries, wild oranges and such other wild fruits and berries as were obtainable; also on wild turkeys and other game, killed with a rifle he had procured along the way. Everything fared smoothly on the trip down the calm Kissimmee, and, no doubt, the fugitive felt more safe and secure as he continued to drift south, between shores rich in gaudy sub-tropical verdure. He must have enjoyed the novelty of the scene and the beauty of the wild herons, the Spanish moss hanging in festoons over the limpid waters, the flowers of many colors that crowded the river banks, the bright sunshine and the dreamy laziness it caused. When near the mouth of the Kissimmee and the place he expected to select as a haven, however, he was overtaken by a sudden and violent storm. While he was trying to steer the slight craft to the shore, one of the oars was blown from his hand and when he raised himself to recapture it, the fierce gale pitched him into the river. He was unable to reach the bank in the storm and was drowned. After the storm, the canoe was found by a Seminole hunting party, lodged against the bank of the river in a clump of bushes, where it had been driven by the wind. The child was in the boat, unharmed, and she was taken to the camp by the Indians.

THE STREETS OF BELGIUM A TYPICAL SEMINOLE CAMP. Note the primitive construction. THE NEW YORKER Not since Henry Ford announced magazines. his new model car has a commercial product attracted so much attention as was given a new type phonograph record on its introduction recently. It was offered in scores of retail establishments never before featuring musical goods. The unusual properties of the record, and its unique series of outlets piqued the curiosity of local residents, who, intending to purchase magazines or fruit, or to have their shoes shined, left stores with records under their arms. In appearance, the same size as ordinary amber in color. It is a light cardboard, and it durium on one side of its makers claim, be a flat surface without it can be scratched with the tone of the record applied to the durium only a black mark, we fashioned record warp under such trees. While the standard The new disc is the first commercial application of durium, a new chemical substance discovered recently by Dr. Hal T. Beans, professor of chemistry at Columbia University. Radical improvements made possible by the use of this substance in the disc are expected to revolutionize the phonograph record industry, for the new records can be bent like cardboard and are shatter-proof. Because of their unbreakable qualities, the records sell like magazines, a new issue being offered once each week at all stores handling newspapers and The Locust On The Locust Plague Again Swoops Down On Historical Egypt By NANCY LYNDON Correspondent and Special Writer. EGYPT since Bible times has battled with of locusts that sweep down over her creduce plague-like conditions as truly a scribed in the Bible when Moses sought relief fo EGYPT since Bible times has battled with the swarms of locusts that sweep down over her crops and produce plague-like conditions as truly as those described in the Bible when Moses sought relief for his people. The destructive pests remain, but methods of fighting them change. On the Sudan-Egyptian frontier, poison gas is being tried against an invasion of locusts. The Egyptian Government is seeking the latest methods of meeting the plague and is sending to America for men and equipment to be used in this great insect battle. The battle against locusts is really world-wide. It breaks out first in one place and then in another. Scientists of the government estimate that locusts have breeding places over an Youth of America! You Need No Longer Suffer the Embarassment of Telltale PIMPLES SO many pretty girls and handsome boys have to be ashamed of their blemished complexions. And why? Simply because they don't know or haven't tried Palmer's "Skin Success" Ointment. For over 80 years Palmer's "Skin Success" Ointment has given real honest-to-goodness lasting relief from skin distress when others failed to make even a temporary impression. Bet you'd like to have a clear bright skin just like the other fellows and girls have. You can too. For Palmer's "Skin Success" Ointment can do for you what it has done for thousands. Remove those pimples—promote a real light wonderful skin. For piles; eczema, rashes, pimply skin, sore feet, chafing or sunburn. So many have tried to imitate Palmer's "Skin Success" Ointment but none have ever been able to discover the secret formula. Look for Palmer's "Skin Success" Ointment in the orange box—see that you get it. Every good druggist sells or can easily obtain it for you. 2 In appearance, the record is the same size as ordinary discs, but is amber in color. It is the thickness of light cardboard, and is surfaced with durium on one side only. It can, its makers claim, be hammered on a flat surface without shattering, or can be scratched without impairing the tone of the recording. A match applied to the durium surface leaves only a black mark, whereas the old-fashioned record would melt and warp under such treatment. While the standard seventy-five cent record requires time to harden when being made, durium hardens immediately on application of heat. As a result, six of the new records can be stamped out at a time from metal discs at the speed of a printing press. Record making will be speeded up by the new process until production is one hundred times faster than by the old method, its discoverer claims. This speed of production allows sale of the record at one-fifth the established price, he says.

ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—July 12, 1930 Here's How He Got Rid Of His Toothache! The young gentleman kept a large tube of toothpaste on a convenient shelf in his room. However, for weeks at the time he neglected brushing his teeth. And as if in retaliation for his negligence, one by one cavities developed in his molars. Time passed. But he put off consulting dentist. Thus one of the coldest blizzards of that winter caught him in a forlorn position. He was miles from any town one night. One of his jaw teeth started to punishing him before daylight. Throughout that day he lived in throbbing agony. Night came and he had found no relief from his misery. Toothache drops, alcohol, rendered him no relief. Even rinsing his mouth repeatedly with hot water in which salt and soda had been dissolved failed to stop his suffering. So, filling the cavity of his tooth with cotton and snuff, he went to bed. "Perhaps," he thought, "my tooth'll quit hurting when I go to sleep." But go to sleep, he couldn't. The throbbing tooth continued to dispense misery. So he rolled and groaned. "Toothpaste," he finally reflected, "might give me some relief. It's recommended for the health of the teeth and gums. So I'll just get up and brush my teeth and see what happens." He arose and applied toothpaste to his teeth. The saliva or spittle it produced was held in his mouth several moments before it was discharged. Thus, having employed this novel toothache remedy, he went back to bed and soon knew relief.

When Dick, enraged at her constant refusals, attempts to kiss her by force one evening on their way back from a moving picture show, he is knocked down by Donald Baxter, a stranger in town and a gambler and night life broker in Kalesburg, a nearby city. Irresistibly drawn to Verna, Baxter lavishes attention upon her, but she is careful. He lays other plans and finally persuades her to go to Kales- burg and become an entertainer in his cabaret. Colvin tries to prevent her from going, but Baxtre again bests him in a fight. When Verna and Donald arrive in Kalesburg, he takes her to room at the home of a Mrs. Quill, a tall, sardonic, evil-eyed woman. Later Verna finds the door of her room locked from the outside. Desperate, she decides to crawl out of the back window and let herself down to the ground with from going, but Baxter again bests him in a fight. After some adventures, she reaches the next street through a narrow alleyway and hastens away from the neighborhood. Finally she grows weary and decides to enter a pretty little.church and sit down for a rest. She goes to sleep and when she awakes it is late afternoon. She hur- ries out of the church, but at the door meets the handsome, young» pastor, Rev. Hugh Godfrey. He is immediately captivated by her extraordinary Renene and charm and promises to help her, inviting her into the parsonage for supper. NOW, GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER FIVE THE FOILED ELOPEMENT A month had passed since the day she met Reverend Godfrey, and as Verna hurried about her tasks at her new service place, she thought of all that had transpired since that time. She was rooming with one of the nicest colored families in town, the ‘Van Dykes; she had joined the Rev- erend Godfrey’s church and had be- come a member of the choir; he was head over heels in love with her, and she had saved twenty dollars of her wages. And yet she was not satisfied. Kalesburg offered greater opportuni- ties than Norrisburg, it was true, but she saw little prospect of getting all of the things she wanted by staying there. She instinctively knew that it would be the easiest thing in the world to get Hugh Godfrey to pro- pose to her because the fact that he was in love, shone in his soft eyes; but she had no desire to end her days as a preacher's wife. That would be all work and very little glory. She tossed her little head and made a defiant grimace as she thought of it. ‘That night there was choir prac- tice. Afterwards, Rev. Godfrey asked her to go for a drive with him in his Ford coupe. He looked strained and his eyes had a far-off appear- ance, giving evidence of some inner battle. Rev. Godfrey’s Mother Disapproves For a month now he had been in- fatuated with Verna, wanting to crush her in his arms, to marry her; and yet he had been restrained by knowledge of the fact that she was noi exactly of his class. He knew nothing about her except what she had told him. That would not have been any sreat obstacle but he was afraid of what his congregation would say. Already there was jealousy evi- denced by some of the women be~ cause of Verna’s beauty and because he was friendly with her. Some of the gossips had even begun to cir- culate ugly rumors. Rev. Godfrey had heard thera and had silently raged. His mother, noting his inter- est in the girl, had warned him against her. “You don’t know a single thing about that strange girl,” she had said that very day at luncheon, “and yet here you are talking about mar- rying her. Why, she’s nothing but a wait. Sleeping in churches! Coming to towr. with strange men! And she hasn't had any proper schooling. You a minister, can't afford to have such a wife.” “I don’t care what you say, moth- er,” he had replied, “I want her, I'm in love with her and I'm going to marry her if she'll marry me.” He had never quarreled with his: mother before. Always they had been on the most excellent terms. He admired and respected her and it hurt him to the heart to cross her. He had to reluctantly agree that, having spent alt of his time trying to become a good minister, he knew no other way of making a living. Suppose he should lose his job be- cause of the jealousy and spiteful- ness of the congregation? What could he do? Thinking these thouhts it was no wonder Hugh Godfrey was AG // “Wy Yrs Gg A Tipp We ame 'Y he WA Gp Uo in YY). 1G ay a Yin’: bay Zo as UV ae Gi) ¥, y- [ WS y, i i a “4 By hi ryiy' ha =D Uh , i, Hi Ly Gee 7 Gb, eo | uA ae; f Be ee AA a is'4 ae al ee | Regex: wa res > i ae cf | ie ip * e/ he VA a ‘ ae “as : Wy . iW | La = ye Ree y | pa Ye ivi & ( PTI ee "SEN | ae Kye. a ah | Ao) eS a a < oe i! ; i od 3 ——— —— ee i s Ty ‘tt a ; = es i ‘ = if SY eh: % ea | : | Sara es tl ie ih Soa \ A WA i i ANG e 3 we en ee) Ese, Ve eee ee RY We \a/ 197, NOME Uk 2 “SS 5 if A. ae eN a ye j y) 4 Hy anaes fl i | ames ak 4 q ‘ ae .

I'll give up everything for you, my mother, my friends, my pro- fession, if you'll only consent to mar- ry me. Will you?” Verna lowered her eyes and thought swiftly. She did not want to hurt Hugh Godfrey. He had been so kind and helpful, and yet there was no denying the fact that she did not love him. She liked him _tremen- dously, of course, for his manly quali- tie., but there is a wide gulf between liking and loving. Right then she didn’t believe she loved any man in the world. She, young as she was, had had enough experience to view all men rather skeptically. “Listen, .iugh,” she replied, “I wouldn't dream of trying to ‘string’ you on and I don’t want to hurt you, but I think you'd bette: get some el more acceptible to your mother and your congregation, You've been awfully good to me, Hugh, and I ap- preciate it, but I just don’t think enough of you to marry you. The Disappointing Refusal “I have ambitions, Hugh,” she con- tinued. “I want to get somewhere and make a name and wealth for myself before I settle down to any married life. Most wives just become shadows of their husbands. I don't want that, I want to be something in my own right. I want to have all of the fine things of life and be able to do as I please. How could I do that as your wife, assuming I was heartless enough to marry you?” “But, Verna,” he protested, his voice strained with emotion, “I’m crazy about you. I want you so badly, Verna. I'll give up everything; work my fingers to the bone to give you everything you want. Only don't turn me down, Verna, dear!” “Sorry, Hugh,” she said, feeling uncomfortable under the ordeal, “but I just can’t do it.” “Very well,” he muttered in a re- signed, hurt tone. “I guess we'd bet- ter be getting back to town.” They did not exchange a word on the way in. Verna hated such scenes, but she knew that she would always be having them. That was the pen- alty she had to pay for being so comely anc charming. Hugh felt futilely enraged, insulted, but more determined than ever that Verna should marry him. He let her out at the Van Dyke residence and drove on after a rather gruff “Good Night.” Verna let her- self in and went up to her room. She {OR We Cyenins: . The Letter It was plain that she was getting |mowhere in Kalesburg. To be sure, |she had a job that was paying her |twice as much as she received in Norrisburg, but there was little pros- {pects of her being able to do much better. She could, of course, always hunt up Donald Baxter and get a joh in his cabiret, but she knew what thet would mean. It would be em- barrassing to continue as a membei of Rev. Godfrey’s church after he had proposed to her and she had re- fused. Then for the first time, she no- ticed a letter propped up on her bureau. It was addressed to her and she noted with some pleasure that the handwriting was her mother’s, Eagerly she tore it open, anxious to get word of what was going on af, home. It read: My dearest Verna: We are all well and hope you are the same. We all miss you very much and wish you were back here with us. Your father is_still out of work, but otherwise we are getting along all right. Dick Colvin comes over almost every night and all he can talk about is you. That boy sure is in love with you. He says that pretty soon he is coming over there to Kalesburg and get him a good job and marry you. Like as not he'll be over in a couple of weeks. Now be a good girl and don’t get in no mischief. Don't listen to none of them there slick- tongue city fellows, ‘cause they don’t mean nobody no good. We are all praying for your success. Your LOVING MOTHER. Dreams of Harlem So Dick Colvin was coming to Kalesburg; Verna was very thought- ful as she slowly prepared for bed. What should she do? She couldn't stand Dick- Colvin and his rough, country ways, yet she knew that eventually he would meet her. Then he would begin where he had left off in Norrisburg, begging her every day to marry him. Such a situation would be intolerable. It would be better for her to leave now, but j where would she go? ~She only pos- sessed twenty dollars but would have fifteen more the following Tuesday. That ought to be enough to carry hei out of the state and keep her un- til she found another job. The rest of the week Verna did he. work mechanically while she thought about her impending de- parture, wondering which way to go and how soon. Some said con - tions were better farther South, but she knew that opportunities for an enterprising and ambitious colored girl were better farther North. Her mind was really set on New York, but she was even afraid to admit it to herself. She felt that that would be taking too much on herself; that one .1eeded so much money to even keep alive in New York. It did not quite occur to her that scores of thousands of Negroes were doing well there; she, like most Southern “Ne- groes, believed all of the myths about terrible conditions in Harlem. Anc yet she also knew that it was there that she belonged. Then she smiled as she realized she didn't have the carefare to New York, even if sue wanted to go there. Up Jumps Donald Again As she stepped off the ‘street car one night coming home from work, she was startled and surprised to see Donald Baxter’s car parked in front ‘of her rooming place. She wondered what it meant. Her first impulse was to get-away from there as fast as possible, but then she realized that if anyone should run it ought to be Baxter, for had he not tried to ktd- nep her?

THE SIMMONS MURDER CASE THE SIMMONS MURDER CASE ONCE again the three of us, Holcomb, Miles, and myself, had gathered together in our now beloved "criminal laboratory." Certainly if you had been one of us, you could never have recalled this vacation at Eagle Rest, Virginia, without also remembering this particular corner on the broad north veranda. It was dark, and quiet, and comfortable—just the place for a former detective, a writer, and a business man to discuss crime! On this night there was again such discussion anent crime and criminals, with a marked slant toward the more daring cases. Miles had acquired a method of "steaming Mr. Holcomb up" as he termed it, Which simply called for a disagreement with certain of the former detective's pet convictions; the more deep-seated ones. This method Miles used again tonight. Subtly, of course, but it served its purpose. fashion of a member of the German Imperial Guard, the Simmons butler led Hubert Holcomb across the richly furnished reception room and then up the highly polished stairs. At an open door on the second floor he paused and "Ahem!-ed" discreetly "Mr. Hubert Holcomb calling, sir," he announced stiffly, stepping aside. Holcomb passed into the library. Montgomery Simmons arose from a great chair and came forward smiling, hand extended. The butler did a stiff round-about-face and tramped silently away. "Gentlemen," Holcomb suggested at last, "let's abandon theory for fact. The daring criminal IS usually partly insane. The Simmons murder case will prove that. It is, as you shall see, a fine example of the type of crime we have discussed, the type of deed which, only a near-maniaiac would stand the strain of plotting. . . h—now shall I talk turkey?" "So glad you have arrived." Mr. Simmons declared. "You will have a seat?" "Thanks." "A cigar?" "Well . . . yes, yes." "Manufactured especially for me," Simmons smiled, "the exclusive Cuban filler." He settled back and began this magnificent tale. The result was to be expected--we found it easy to vision. . . Holcomb lighted the cigar, indulged in several full inhalations and then spoke in a very low voice: "Chief Roggerty tells me that you expect trouble here tonight," he said. "Shall we—ah—get down to brass tacks?" Proceeding ponderously, after the CHICHESTER S PILLS THE DIAMOND BRAND.

"I must explain before the guests arrive." And he arose and made a careful inspection of the door . . . and the two partly opened windows. Swelling Reduced And Swelling Reduced And The detective regarded him admiringly. Immaculate in formal evening dress, Simmons was tall, dark and smooth of complexion, scarcely more than thirty-two—a bachelor.

At the same time, a young woman—and, gracious, how beautiful!—came into view, hesitated at the door, then, as the two men hastened to their feet, came breezing into the room, a delicate scent of violets preceding her. "Patricia Stantan!" "Hello there, Monty!" she cooed; "couldn't wait. Know why? . . .

Here, take a look at them yourself." From a cabinet smoker Simmons took a rather bulky little packet of letters and passed them over to Holcomb. The rubber band was removed and an inspection began. The contents of the first one made the detective whistle softly. About ten of them, each proved to have been mailed to the Simmons address from within the confines of the city, with postmarks on the envelopes dating back as far as three months or more. "He keeps them," Simmons whispered again, "hid in his rooms. It was only by accident that I discovered them. No, he is not aware tha. I am in possession of them . . . I don't think.

At that moment there were sounds of footsteps out in the hall. Simmons gathered the letters up and slipped them behind him. Two masculine voices reached their ears. "Everything is all set," the finer one said. "You will receive them in the downstairs drawing room. Wilkins. . . And be careful, the entertainers upstairs are to be a surprise!" "Very good, sir." Raymond Simmons appeared in the library doorway and paused, in formal evening dress also, a tall, brown, handsome young man. "Oh, beg pardon." Monty Simmons jumped hastily ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—July 12, 1930 to his feet. "Not at all, Raymond," he said. "I'm glad you came in. Have a seat; we're going to have this thing out right now." From a study in correct politeness, Raymond's fine face suddenly degenerated into that of a sneer. "You are, eh?" he said. His full lips now compressed tightly, his eyes mirroring a slumbering resentment, he came forward and sank languidly into the vacant chair. Monty sat down again. "This," he said after a moment, "is Detective Holcomb of the police department. I have deemed it best, Raymond—" The younger man interrupted rudely, hotly. "I have told you, Monty," he said angrily, "once, twice, and now for the last time—I will have positively no intrusion into my private affairs!" "But, Raymond!" He ignored Monty and turned heatedly to Holcomb. "I must ask you, sir," he said, "to leave immediately. I resent this. The real——" Whatever the angry young man was about to say remained forever unfinished; for, suddenly the lights flashed out and left the room in pitch darkness. At the same time a biting flame of fire reached out from the direction of the window and barked spitefully. Monty Simmons screamed. Raymond groaned. Holcomb had hurled himself across to the window . . . Shouts . . . Gasps. . . When it was all over, they found a man's body sprawled on the floor—and he was dead. AT THIS POINT in Hubert Holcomb's narration of the Simmons Murder Case there was a pause. Our detective-entertainer got to his feet and started banging the bowl of his pipe against the rail. "Can you beat that!" he exclaimed. "Murder committed right under your nose." Miha and I marveled. "Oh, no, no, no! Holcomb exploded. "It's this beastly pipe!-it clogged again!" END OF PART ONE (To be continued Next Week) Mad Revenge of Crazed Admirer Results in Gruesome Tragedy Continued from Page One The beautiful little brown girl was four years old at the time and told the Indians that her name was Hannah. Tom Tiger, one of the valiant Seminole warriors of old, was chief of the tribe at that time. The child was kept by the Indians and was treated with kindness. When old enough, she became a sort of domestic or servant about the camp. Hannah thrived on sof-ka, a typical Indian dish, and the healthy open air life, and grew to be a buxom young woman. In the tribe was an Indian named Tony. Tony's squaw died and he became an e-hiwa-se-ko, a widower. Hannah was a mature woman when Tony's squaw departed for the Everglades of the Happy Hunting Ground. The tribal chief had decreed that Tony was not to marry again. This may have been due to the fact that no hoke-ti-chee (girl) thought him worthy, or it may have been because of the scarcity of women folks. The Seminoles have a rule or law against marrying in the same gens or immediate tribe, the individuals of which are apt to be related by blood, and other tribes were not plentiful. Or perhaps Tony may have been a ho-lo-wa-gus, "no good" sort of Indian and had been cruel to his deceased squaw. Unable to secure a likely Indian maiden, Tony took Hannah as his squaw. In marrying Hannah, Tony violated one of the Seminoles' cardinal laws. The Seminole Indian boasts of his pure and unmixed blood. In the early days when the tribe gave refuge to the slaves who ran away from Georgia, there had been intermarriages between Seminoles and the colored people, but this practice was abandoned, despite the fact that such unions were often ideally successful. When Tony took Hannah to his cho-co-hum-co-see or wigwam, he became, therefore, a sort of social outcast. The gregarious or social instinct made his wish to be near his fellow tribesmen; so he lived a mile or two away from the main village or camp and followed the tribe around when it roved about on hunting or harvesting trips. He was not allowed to live among the rest but he was not mistreated—was simply ignored. The years passed. Tony and Hannah had three children, one boy and two girls. These children, handsome as their parents, grew up sharing the isolation and ostracism of their mother and father. The girls worked at the Seminole camp sometimes, but they were treated as servants and social pariahs. The boy's name was Jim the Jumper. He was also known to the white people around Okeechobee as Jirn-the Scrub, because he, at one time, lived in a grove of scrub oak near Lake Okeechobee and the city of Okeechobee. Jim the Jumper developed into an exceedingly fine looking lad, tall and well built. But when Jim the Jumper attempted to win the heart of fair Fost-chi-taw (Red Bird) this was another matter. Ultimately and in spite of opposition, Jim the Jumper became bold enough to ask Chief Tiger and the parents of the girl to overlook his ancestry and give him permission to pay court to Red Bird, but it was sternly refused. He was not a Seminole. Besides, he was not worthy of Red Bird's hand. The Seminoles are strict with their girls—they must obtain the consent of their parents to court and marry, and a serious social sin means instant death. The Seminole girl, however, is a sister, under the skin, to girls of other races, in one respect at least. She likes to primp and has a certain natural inclination to be coquettish, even if the instinct is severely under tribal ban. She paints her face, carefully arranges her hair, wears jewelry and other ornaments. Red Bird was undoubtedly fond of flirting and made eyes at Jim the Jumper. He was quite attractive to a heart hungry Indian maiden, even if his hue was slightly off from the standard copper color of the Seminoles. Young Seminoles eligible for her hand were not so plentiful either. Jim the Jumper hid beads and other presents where Red Bird could find them. This soon came to the attention of her intolerant and austere parents. A squaw was accused of acting as a sort of ambassador for Jim the Jumper in his attempted siege of the heart of Red Bird, and she was to be given a trial on this charge at the Green Corn Dance. The green Corn Dance is held once a year on the Seminole New Year's day. No green corn is eaten by the men folks prior to the Green Corn Dance, and on this day, before the dance begins, the chief gives out the tribal laws for the coming year. It is held about the first of July. Those charged with infractions of the law the year previous are put through a couc of strenuous trials such as being confined in a close tent, made of skins, which is full of vapor made by pouring loud-smelling liquids on hot rocks, and where they are given large doses of the black drink, a nauseous concoction brewed from bitter roots and herbs. If those on trial, weather these ordeals and pay their fines, they are absolved. Their past misdemeanors are permanently removed from the chief's docket. Jim the Jumper continued to appear intermittently on the outskirts of the camp, a tolerated if unwelcome visitor. Then, along came the fatal day. Living somewhere near the Seminole precincts at that time was a white peddler This peddler exchanged beads, calico, tobacco and other goods to the Indians for beautiful plumes of the white heron, and fc. animal furs of various kinds and other things the Indians had to sell. He sometimes sold Cuban rum, also. On the day that was to be Jim's last visit to the camp he found the peddler on the outskirts of the Seminole village. Jim had plumes and hides to sell. Eagerly he traded his goods for Cuban liquors. He was in the proper mood for a spree. Discouragement in his love for Red Bird had embittered him. While trouble was brewing, unknown to Chief Tom Tiger, the chief was busy extending the hospitality of the camp to Woxo-mic-co, the head chief of the Seminoles who had honored the tribe by coming up from his council lodge near Miami for a visit. Due to his interest in his guest's welfare, he did not observe, with his accustomed wariness, that danger lurked near-by. Practically all of the tribe were preparing the tribal feast, about a quarter or a half-mile away. None were at the camp except Chief Tiger and his immediate family, the visiting head chief and a few other persons. After Jim the Jumper had imbibed the Cuban hell-fire, he made "funny" things happen. As the Indians said, he became "crazy too much in the head." All his grievances came to the fore. Bloody revenge was his sole impulse. Transformed into a raging demon, Jim the Jumper advanced on the camp with the speed of a panther with his Winchester rifle in his hands. The first one he ran across was a squaw. After shooting her down, he ran forward and put a bullet through the head of Chief Woxomic-co. Jim the Jumper was known as a dead-shot. Chief Tiger, standing to one side at the moment, heard the Winchester barking and started to rush to the scene, but he was killed before he had time to be of any help. Young Tiger saw his father fall dead and he sprang for the drunken murderer with a blood-curdling war-whoop. He seized the muzzle of the rifle but before he could take it away from the murderer, there was another report, followed by the death of the brave young Indian. The next person to fall before the insane, drunken fury of Jim the Jumper was his unfortunate sister. She tried to catch his arm to spoil his aim—he reached for a big hunting knife that he carried in a holster on his hip and cut her throat from ear to ear. He also brutally murdered her two children. 5 1 When the trouble started, one of the chief's boys—believed to have been Billy Bowlegs, the present chief—started for help. Billy Martin rushed back with his rifle and put an end to Jim the Jumper. He had, however, killed everyone in the camp, except the boy who ran for aid—eight in all. The beautiful Red Bird was not among the slain. She wept silently and secretly for her dead admirer. Old citizens of Okeechobee who remember the tragedy say it would be impossible to describe the anguish of the remainder of the tribe. It was the most gruesome calamity that had happened to the Seminoles since the old Indian war days. MALARIA?

It amused Verna and she felt that she was the mistress of the situation, since it was incredible to suppose that Charity Van Dyke knew what kind of a man Donald was. The Lovers Quarrel "Hello Don!" she said cheerily, "I didn't know you were acquainted with anyone here in this neighborhood. . . Hello Charity!" "Why—why, well, how do you do?" exclaimed Don, bewildered. "How did you know him?" asked Miss Van Dyke, jealously, her eyes flashing. "Oh, Donald was kind enough to bring me to Kalesburg," Verna informed her, hugely enjoying the scene. She had already told the Van Dyke family about Donald without, however, mentioning his name. "So," screamed Charity, turning to Don, "you are the one that fooled Verna here. Oh, I'm so glad I found you out in time. Verna, I was going to elope with him and get married." "Now, look here Charity," said Donald, enraged, "are you going to take this girl's word against mine? I offered her a job in my cabaret. . ." "So you DO own a cabaret, then," shouted Charity. "You told me that it was all a lie about your being an underworld character. And to think that I was going to marry you. O Verna! I'm so glad you came in when you did. Now, Mr. Baxter, you can please get right out of here." "Please, Charity," he remonstrated, "let me explain to you how it was." "Tell it to some of your other women," Charity laughed mirthlessly, struggling to keep back the tears. Don Swears Vengeance on Verna With a mumbled curse, Donald reached for his hat, turned and started out the door. Then suddenly he wheeled about, and, pointing his finger in Verna's face, hissed, "I'll get you if it's the last thing I ever do. I'll make you suffer for this." His voice was choked with rage. He slammed the door so hard that it resounded through the house, and a minute later they heard his car start off. "Well," said Verna, secretly elated but outwardly calm, "I suppose I've wrecked everything." "Don't be silly, Verna," soffled Charity through her tears. "I'm sure glad I found out all about him before it was too late. In spite of everything we had heard about him we all thought he was such a fine fellow that the rumors couldn't be true He denied everything, you know, and insisted he knew nothing about the underworld." Verna Wanders Again Verna felt that with this latest development she could not stay in Kalesburg any longer. It certainly would be uncomfortable there for her with Rev. Godfrey, Dick Colvin and Donald Baxter all annoying her. The girl employed next door to her had a fellow who was working in the West Virginia coal fields. Money was said to be plentiful there. It suddenly occurred to Verna that she might do well there herself, working for some of the wealthy families, so she decided to go. That Tuesday night when she got paid, she went back to the Van Dyke home, got her little bundle of effects and, leaving a note on her bureau, left the place forever. She believed that was the best way to leave. If no one knew where she was, she would not be bothered and could concentrate on getting the things she wanted. Soon she was at the railroad station, had her ticket and was sitting in the colored coach. How strange was life, she thought. Only five weeks before, she had been in Norrisburg just dreaming of what she might do, and here she was miles away from home and about to go farther. What an adventure!

Write to Julia Jerome, care of this newspaper. If you wich a personal reply please send a stamped self-addressed envelope By JULIA JEROME A very young lady of Dayton, Ohio, wants to know everything about love his week. Dear Mrs. Jerome: I am sixteen and very interested in the opposite sex. However, I am rather inexperienced and so would like you to answer a few questions about love. First, Is there such a thing as love it first sight? Second, Why does love ever die? Third. How can a woman make a man love her if she is neither beautiful, wealthy, nor smart? sion needs only contact to clare into anything else for want of proper environment and attention. Love lasts longest in an environment of tenderness and understanding. It dies quickest in that of jealousy and wrangling. In answer to your third question I could be facetious and say, she can't. But in thinking it over I conclude that many women do. A woman need not be beautiful to be extremely attractive. She can have "It" without having much else. "It" is more a matter of vivacity and virility than it is of a perfect set of features. If a woman dresses to suit her type of looks she obtains a harmony of appearance that is the nearest thing to beauty—and often more satisfying. By "smart" I fancy you mean intellectual. Look around at the intellectual women who have no men and answer that for yourself. HUMAN HAIR. Made to your measure. Can be combed and dressed.

He was young, handsome, well-dressed, owned a beautiful home and had a very good practice. Naturally, all of the single girls in town had their hooks out for him. He had everything, plus. When I came to town I didn't think I had a chance with him. Indeed, I didn't even know him. I had just come from the South and was seeking a position. The Y.W.C.A. sent me to the Urban League and while I was sitting in that office, Dr. Bowman and I first met each other. What eyes! What gentility! I fell like a rock but of course I didn't disclose my feelings. I was fortunate in getting a job as secretary to a well-to-do real estate man, Mr. Alonzo Hibbard, and found myself after a while propelled into the best social set in the city. Probably my beauty had something to do with it, for I am said to be very pretty. At any rate I consider my sudden popularity to be due both to my position and my looks. Not many girls in town had the sort of job I had been fortunate enough to obtain. At the first party I attended I was formally introduced to Dr. Bowman. I could see that he was impressed, but I was very self-contained and lady-like and did not let him see how much I was already in love with him. Yet, I suppose he must have been able to feel it, because after dancing the third number with me he begged for two more and afterwards persuaded me to sit through two or three numbers with him. The other girls looked on furiously but I enjoyed my hour of triumph. From that time onward life was more enjoyable than it had ever been before. Fred danced constant attendance. We went to parties, to the seashore, to dances and to picnics together. Sometimes we would go on our rides in the country in his unshrinking blue roadster. In a month he proposed. I accepted, of course, and was very happy. But our marriage was postponed indefinitely. --- Then came the news from home. Father had fallen and injured his hip; mother was striving bravely to make ends meet. Of course they wanted me to help them. As a dutiful daughter, I immediately sent them a money order for all the money I possessed in the world. I had been saving up for a new wardrobe which I needed very badly, but I felt that my first concern should be for those dear parents who had sacrificed so much to give me the education that had enabled me to get the fine position I held. Mother immediately wrote me that the money order had been a virtual God-send. I was glad to know that I had been able to help them when first they made a call upon me, but I could not but feel a pang of regret that I would have to go without any new clothes for a long time. I did so want to be worthy of Fred and not have him ashamed of my appearance. Even though he was taking me out very often, I found that my little salary of eighteen dollars a week was being rapidly eaten up by the outlays I had to make for beauty essentials. Going to dances and parties, so much, meant that I had to have my hair and nails done very frequently and keep my skin in the best of condition. Every woman knows that requires an expenditure both of time and money, and every little bit counts when you are living in a large city where food and room rent are so expensive. --- So there I was. Forced to send money to help Mother and Father, and at the same time compelled to keep up with the social whirl in town. The result was that I didn't save ANY money for a new wardrobe and most of the things I owned began to go out of style. I felt this keenly, especially when I noted a questioning look in Fred's eyes one day. I knew how particular he was about appearance, and his gaze alarmed me. It occurred to me that if I were going to get Fred Bowman I'd have to get busy and capture him at once. A girl doesn't get a good chance very often and she ought to take advantage of the chances she has whenever they put in appearance. And yet, how was I to make him marry me before he wanted to do so without making myself combo? There was a question! As I noted my precarious position, I began to notice more closely the girls of my set. Very few of them, I knew, got as much salary as I did, and yet I was surprised to see that ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—July 12, 1980 A "Come on, Beatrice," begged Fred, handing me a cocktail, "be a sport. It won't hurt you." nearly all of them dressed even better than I had before I started sending money home. How in the world did they do it? And if they weren't spending the money themselves, how could their parents—few of whom were very wealthy—afford it? This question kept recurring to me again and again as I watched some rival switch past in a dress that I knew must have cost every bit of seventy-five dollars. I had been thinking about this one day in early fall when the telephone "Come on, Beatrice," begged rang in the office, and answering it I heard Fred's voice. How it always thrilled me to hear his voice! "Listen, Beatrice," he said. "How'd you like to go on a jam-up party tonight? All the real fast set will be there and it'll just be too bad. You've never been on one of these real wild parties and I know you'll enjoy it." "Of course. I'll go, darling," I replied. "It'll cheer me up." "Has my sweetie been blue today?" he cooped, pushebievously. "Well, I haven't been purple!" I gritly retorted. Then I rang off. I was so pleased that I must have grinned for fifteen minutes. ```markdown ``` Fred had long been promising to take me on one of the wild parties put on by the ultra-fast set, and, of course, I was crazy to go and see what it was like. Girls had winked knowingly when I had asked about these affairs and young men had smiled. All of which only aroused further my desire to be included in the next de luxe party. Dr. Bowman called for me around ter. at my boarding house and soon we were speeding down the avenue. We stopped in front of Minta Cavanaugh's house parked the car and went in. There were already four or five couples present. We put up our wraps and joined them in the big front room. I noted that the shades had all been drawn and that Minta's maid had evidently been sent home. This intrigued me. I had never been in the Cavanaugh house before. While Minta belonged to the best socia group in town, she was generally credited with being a little too "modern" to satisfy the mothers most of the young girls in our group. She had been abroad studying in Paris and Berlin, and had many ideas supposed to be advanced. Certainly she was a most charming hostess. I awaited developments with interest. It was not necessary to wait very long. After we had talked for a while, Minta went to the kitchen and returned with a big tray full of bottles, glasses and bowls of cracked ice. When she set it down on the table I saw that the bottles contained whiskey, gin and orange juice. I began to be a little apprehensive, be- The Poker Party Fred, handing me a cocktail, "cause I had never learned how to drink. "Come on, Beatrice," begged Fred handing me a cocktail, "be a sport. It won't hurt you," I wanted to please him, so, against my will, I took the glass and sipped a little bit. To my surprise, after what I had heard about the evils of drink, it tasted very good and was quite exhilarating. I drank the entire glassful without more ado. Fred looked at me admiringly and his eyes glistened in a rather disconcerting manner. I wondered what he was thinking. But I didn't have much time to ponder about that because Minta had turned on the radio and some of the couples were already dancing. Wrapped in Fred's arms, weaving our way around the room, I felt heavenly, supremely happy and yet strangely irresponsible. "My, but you have some beautiful color in your cheeks tonight, dearest," whispered my intended husband. "I love you when you are that way." After two or three dances, Minta, who seemed to be mistress of ceremonies, announced that it was time to get things going. "What does she mean?" I asked Fred. He smiled sardonically and said "Poker." **** Sure enough the cards were produced and three tables were set up. I had always been told that poker was played with chips, but I saw none. I couldn't help but wonder. Everybody was giggling and making veiled allusions and seemed to know thoroughly what it was all about. "What are the stakes?" I asked Minta smilingly. "Why. dearie." said she breezily, "don't tell me you've never played the grand old game of strip poker!" "Strip poker?" I echoed. "What do you mean?" She explained patiently while the others grinned and giggled. "Oh, I can't do that," I exclaimed. "But, why not, dearest?" plead'd Fred. "There's nothing wrong about it. It's just a jolly game between friends. No harm in it. Harm's just in your mind." I noted that his tone was a little irritable. "Well, Fred," I explained, "I consider that sort of thing low and common even if it is among friends. I "be a sport. It won't hurt you." wasn't raised up to approve or take part in such things and I'm afraid I can't do it at this late date. I feel that a girl should be modest and dignified. I don't mind a little honest fun, but strip poker is a little too much for me." Several of the company violently dissented. Others looked at me angrily as a sort of interloper. Fred was patently angry as I could see by his set face. "Oh, that's all nonsense," blurted Minta, her face taking on a coarse expression. "You must think you're better than somebody." "Where did you get this little angel, Bowman?" asked one of the men o. Fred. Fred was embarrassed, I was embarrassed and I could see that the rest of the company were annoyed by my objection to participate in the game. "I'm sorry," I said in a low but firm tone, "but I guess I can't go along with you folks. I don't fit into such pleasures, so you'll have to ex- 7 cuse me." With that I jumped up, ran into the hall, snatched my wraps off the rack, ran out with the blinding tears bathing my cheeks. "Beatrice! Beatrice!" I could hear Fred calling behind me, "Come back! Wait a minute!" But I kept on. I was in no mood to be in the company of anyone. I knew I had failed him, made him ashamed of me and I didn't want to talk about it. I hailed a taxicab and went directly home. God! what would Fred think! How foolish it was of me to run out hat way! But how could I stay there and tolerate their ridicule? I sobbed dryeyed and when morning came I was haggard from sleeplessness. It was probably all off between Fred and me now. He was so proud and so conscious of criticism and social censure. All morning I expected a telephone call from him telling me that everything was over between us because I hadn't proved to be a regular fellow. All my planning and scheming might go for naught. Oh, why hadn't I gone ahead like the rest of the girls? No wonder they could wear better clothes than I. If I intended to get anywhere in the big city I would have to change my entire mode of living, evidently, and yet my whole moral fibre rebelled against commonness. I was pondering thus when the telephone disturbed my thoughts. "I'm coming right over there," said Fred's voice. "and I want you to be ready to go with me." My heart leaped as I hustled into my coat and hat. I was none too soon, for I saw Fred's car sweeping around the corner as I came out of the office door. "Where are we going, darling?" I asked, as I snuggled down in the seat beside him. "To the City Hall," he announced with a grin. "But what for?" I protested, my heart pounding with suppressed hope. "Why, to get married, of course." he said nonchalantly as he slowed up for traffic. "Oh, sweetheart," I cried, "and you're not angry about last night?" "Listen here, Beatrice," he said seriously as we bowled down the avenue, "last night convinced me that you are the one girl in the world for me and that there's no use of us waiting any longer. Every girl I've ever had has failed to come up to my standard of what a wife should be. When you showed last night that you were not modern enough to be common. you won me for all time." Sometimes in the early evening when I am sitting in the sunparlor of our beautiful home looking out on our sunken garden, waiting for Fred to come from his office for dinner. I cannot help but rejoice in the fact that I refused to be common. THE END.
