GOV. HYDE RECOMMENDS ANTI-LYNCHING BILL CARNEGIE HERO AWARD ASKED FOR ST. LOUIS COLORED TRAINMAN Robert J. Taylor, Pullman Porter, Saved 26 At Pueblo Flood. Broke Windows And Freed Passengers From Traps When Train Turned Over. Thrilling And Dangerous Deeds Credited With Being Most Heroic. Is Presented With $500 By R. R. Company. Officers of the St. Louis Chamber of Commerce are preparing to present evidence in an effort to obtain a Carnegie Hero medal for Robert J. Taylor of 711 N. Newstead, Colored Pullman porter, who saved 20 lives when his train overturned in the Pueblo, Colo.) flood of June 3. The story of his rescue work has been verified by his superiors and the company officials concur in the effort to obtain the medal. The company presented 50 for his work. The Chamber of Commerce wrote Mr. Taylor's congratulating him for his heroism and devotion to duty saying that work of this sort should not be permitted to pass unnoticed. A copy of the letter was sent to the Carnegie Monument, with respect to the award which will carry with it the merit grant, the amount depending on the degree of the award. There are four classes of Carnegie medals. The matter was brought to the attention of the Chamber of Commerce by Pueblo business men who came here to give thanks for relief from St. Louis. passengers were in it. I walked along the side of the smoker and caught a piece of scantling out of the water and broke the windows and the passengers climbed out of the windows. The car was now on its side. There was a humber yard near by and a large amount of lumber was floating by, which the passengers seized. They were carried over on it to a brick building which was formerly a brewery and the people lived on the second floor there reached out of their windows and assisted the passengers inside. All Passengers Saved There were 27 of us in all. The brunewear, news agent and myself were the only employees included in the 27. No Pullman or other passenger was lost. There was one woman in the coach who had two children and carried one of the children out. The passengers were all more or less injured, being able to climb through the broken windows. They would all have lost Mr. Taylor left St. Louis in charge of the Pullman car "Flerimel" on a Missouri Pacific train at 10:10 p.m. June 3 and that evening he started back on the same car on Missouri Pacific train No. 14. Not far from the station the train was overturned, and passengers in his car had of 21 on the train. Floating lumber was seized by the passengers. **Engineer Drowned** No lumber was near the locomotive so the engineer and the Santa Fe pilot were drowned. It could not be learnt if the dreamer also lost his life. The train conductor was drowned and R. H. Cowen of Kansas City, Pullman conductor was drowned as he tried to escape from his car. The Pullman Co. presented Cowen's widow with $500. The train consisted only of locomotive, digger car, sniffer, chair car and the "Flerimel". It is not known if any of the passengers were in the car. Mr. Taylor returned to St. Louis and related his事 to Superintendent A. Burr of the Pullman Co. who wrote it out as an official report, mostly in the porter's own language. This report, in part, was as follows: "It was not raining when we were due to leave Pueblo union station at 8:05 p. m., but information was given out that a dain had broken and that there were four feet of water coming down the canyon. Before we were due to leave the water was running over the Missouri Pacific bridge and arrangements were made for us to detour by way of the Santa Fe. The Santa Fe pilot was late and we left at 8:20. By the time we reached the Santa Fe bridge which is about four blocks from the station, the water was discovered coming through the yard and it was thought best to move the train to the highest possible point, which was the approach to the Santa Fe bridge. The front cars then stood on the highest ground and the sleeper on the lowest. "There were four men and a woman on the sleeper, occupying lower berths. One man and his wife and another man retired before we left the station. About 9 o'clock the water reached the trucks of the sleeper and I called the passengers. As the water kept shaking and it was decided to have all the passengers moved into the coach which stood on higher ground. They all went to the smoker." "All baggage was removed from the sleeper and it was only a short time before the water, was flowing through that cat. Conductor Cowan and myself let down the upper berths and took the seats and placed them in the uppers, as we did not think the water would get that high, but by the time this was done we were waist-deep in water. Train Began to Tip Over The conductor suggested that we climb into an upper, but as the water was flowing through the car so fast it would carry us off oo' foot. I suggested that we break a window and set out of the car. He said "No we are safer in the car," he said. The forward and I break out as window and climbed on the top of the sleeper. I do not know how I made it, but by the time I got on top the sleeper began to tip to the south on account of the track being undermined. The St. Louis Argus passengers were in it. I walked along the side of the smoker and caught a piece of scantling out of the water and broke the windows and the passengers climbed out of the windows. The car was now on its side. "There was a lumber yard near by and a large amount of lumber was floating by, which the passengers seized. They were carried over on to a brinkling which was forming a breeze. The people who lived on the second floor reached out of their windows and assisted the passengers inside. All Passengers Saved "There were 27 of us in all. The brakeman, news agent and myself were the only employees included in the 27. No Pullman or other passenger was lost. There was one woman in the coach and had two children and carried one of the children out. The passengers were all more or less injured, being cut when climbing through the broken windows. They would all have lost their lives if had not been for the lumber that was carried down next to the train. It was reported the train conductor and engineer were drowned, the man escaped in some way. I do not believe there were any passengers on the train drowned, but it was claimed by some of the others that all had not been saved. If they were not sayed it was because they jumped into the water before the train turned over. Conductor's Body Found "Conductor Cowan's body was found in the sleeper the following morning. It was reported the mime was Evans, but I told the Red Cross it was not Conductor Evans, who was on the Missouri Pacific, and I identified Cowan at morgue. I sustained bruised right and I was struck on the back of the head by something, and it is bruised slightly." Taylor reported the loss of clothing and other articles belonging to him valued at $70. The Red Cross gave him shoes and a pair of overalls, and fet him for four days. He went to Kansas City by way of Denver on June 8, arriving June 11. He had no funds, but depended on fellow porters to get him food. He got home June 12. After the water subsided, that Conductor Cowan had met and was evidently trying to follow the porter's example of going through the window of the sleeper. MISSIONS ARE STRESSED BY REV. J. L. CASTON "The Mission Problems, today for Negro churchmen and Negro churches is peculiarly the problem of black folk, the problem of Africa," declared Rev. J. Lyle Custon, before the Missouri State Baptist Sunday School Convention assembled at the Tubercle Baptist Church, 2726 Pine street, of which Dr. S. A. Moseley is pastor, during the early part of this week. Dr. Custon's message was received amid tears and perceptible emotion. In a statesmanlike manner, he presented the actual problems of black folk from every quarter of the globe and plead for a program commensurate. "This program" he said, "must be stated in the language of today, must be social, philanthropic, educational, inspirational, but greatest of all evangelical. "This message was by far" said the president of the convention, Dr. Booker of Kansas City, "the greatest missionary plan ever made before this country." If the most wonderful message I've listened to at any convention in this country." Rev. Caston is the son of Dr. J. T. Caston of this city and until recently was a St. Louisian. He is now the successful pastor of the Broadway Baptist Church, Columbia, Mo. Reports from Columbia, (and verified by their clerk) are to the effect that more than 150 persons have been added to the church in the last nine months and th church generally has assumed first place among Missouri churches. Young Caston was recently urged by the Kansas City Sun for apportionment of the board of curators of Lincoln University at Jefferson City, Mo. There is a persistent rumor going the rounds which declares the K. K. K. is going up in the glies. Maybe that is the reason they have placed wounded Stimson head of the government's BAPTIST STATE S.S.AND B.Y.P.U.

WAS ANY LAW BROKEN AT TULSA? (By William Pickens) Attorney General William Dougherty has ordered an inquiry to "find out" whether any of the laws of the Nation were violated at Tulsa, Oklahoma, or elsewhere, to certify that nearly this attitude of the Cabinet officers, but we do wish to call attention to what a system of National Government we live under. It is the saddest phase of the whole matter, that the great Nation is in doubt as to whether any of its laws were violated by murder, massacre, arson and general savagery in the heart is no doubt that heads were broken at Tulsa—and long ere this they know that all around the world, even the people of Turkey and Poland were violated by murder, massacre, arson and general savagery of Tulsa. But the Attorney General so the United States must inquire to see if any laws were broken, so that perhaps we can find some technical excuse "for proceeding against those who overthrew all the laws that existed in Tulsa, National, State and Municipal. Is It A Violation of Law To Annuil And To Suspend and Temporarily Destroy All Law? That is the question. Will somebody answer it for the administration? Could the Federal Post office in Tulsa during the riots function? (Could men be delivered to the people who were murdered?) Could the colored employees of the Post Office come to work on time or regularly while men were hunting their kind like wolf boasts in the streets? They need another Alexander Hamilton to show them that a constitution which gives it nation life gives it by implication, all the necessary power and authority to defend that life and function in it. A Nation that can take the lives of its citizens ought to be authorized to defend them, and the Constitution is a common sense into the Constitution. Then Lincoln started to fight the searing states to keep them from destroying the nation. The solutions RACE MEN ATTEND CONFERENCE WITH THE PRESIDENT Messrs. Scott And Warfield Represent Howard University And Freedman's H. At Government Efficiency Mass Meeting. WASHINGTON. D. C. July 6. The most notable conference in Washington in a generation was the uniquemass meeting held in the auditorium of the Interior Department building at 2 o'clock, Wednesday, June 20, at whichtime President Warren G. Harding, Vice President Calvin Coolie, Secretary of State Charles E. Hughes, Secretary of the Treasury, Andrew W. Mellon; Secretary of War, John W. Weeks; Secretary of the Navy, Edward Lonely; Secretary of Commerce, Herbert Lonely; James J. Davis; Secretary of Agriculture, Henry C. Wallace; Attorney General Harry M. Dangerty; Postmaster General Will H. Hays; Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Theodore Roosevelt General John J. Perkins and his military aide, and six hundred chiefs of bureaus, were present. Grounded on the platform, with the President as the central figure, were the men who might be expected to inspire awe in the less mighty. If any collection of Americans could. But the importance of that gathering did not have any such effect upon Charles G. Dawes, recently named Director of the Budget, in telling what he hoped could be accomplished in cutting down government expenses and increasing administrative efficiency. With all the enthusiasm of a zealot, with high-pitching enthusiasm at that time, threatened the welfare of those sitting within range of his arms, he proceeded to unfold his mind. For those who were on hand to get what enjoyment they could out of life in Washington on a torrid day, as well as to print by what they might bear, the meeting was a huge success. President Harding smiling but obligingly warmly jabbed Jim Patthehault, opened the meeting with a short address, "Fellow workers," said the President, "I do not know that there has ever been a meeting like this, certainly none to my knowledge. I am very glad to come before you and stand sponsor for this meeting. The present administration of the Federal Government is committed to a period of economy and efficiency in government. The statement is not made with any thought of criticising the administrations that have gone before. It is made in a new realization of the necessity of driving out the scientific expenditures of the government. There is not a name in the world today like Harding, providing public services and mounting public expenditures. There has seemingly grown up on impression that public treasuries are inexhaustible things and a conviction that no efficiency and economy are ever thought of in public expenses. We want to reverse this. Congress, to order to change the policy, has provided for the first time in the history of the Federal Government for a bureau of the Budget." The meeting was called by the President for the purpose of bringing about a period of economy and efficiency in government and was a huge success. The flashing uniforms of the officers of the Army and Navy together with the variegated summer dresses of the President, members of the Indian armed force, presented an interesting display. Undoubtedly wonderful results are to follow from this meeting, the first of its kind to hold in the history of the Nation. The Freedman's Hospital and Howard University, both of which are under the Interior Department, were represented at the conference by Dr. William A. Warfield, the well known surgeon-in-chief of the Freedman's Hospital and Dr. Emmett J. Scott, the Secretary-Treasurer of the Howard University. ones sought to take refuge in the fact that the states had delegated the nation all the power is had and in delegating their power and authority they did not delegate the right to fight a state. The states have the power to take the position that when life is delegated or given to a nation it is given by implication the right to defend that life and, that the right to defend does not have to be specified. If the Constitution gives the nation the right to use the lives of its citizens on the battlefields of France, does it not give also that right to defend those lives on the streets of Tulsa? Hamilton or Lincoln, or anybody else with eyes could see it a glance, that the nation had the right to defend those lives. If for no better reason, than that they may be needed again on some battle line for the nation. Is it not better to claim that a nation can defend its citizens in Mexico, but is powerful to defend them in Tulsa? The Truth Is, that the Constitution allows this country to do anything that it wants to do. Even allowed to go into war, it can keep and defend it to keep kill or thwart Haliburts from killing each other, when not a single American citizen was in danger. Personal Impressions Of N. A. A. C. P. Convention By A Special Correspondent of The Associated Negro. Press I entered the Tabernacle on North Woodward avenue as the choir was heading the audience in the Colored People's National Hymn, "Lift Every Voice and Sing," written by James Weldon Johnson and set to music by his brother. Both music and poetry are of the genuine sort, not 40 to be sung thoughtlessly, and I could not but be stirred. The first person I met was Mr. Walter F. White, tremendously busy in making the convention a success and in demand everywhere. I looked about the room trying to locate others of the pale-faced group who was there, but could obtain only three Ministers of the Pennsylvania Federation who made a capital speech entirely free from the white man's prejudice; then Miss Mary White Owington, Chairman of the Board of organization, and lastly Professor Robert T. Kerlin, of Virginia Military Institute, who is following up with his personal presence the appeal of his book "The Voice of the Negro." There are very few white people who have been induced to come into the mass meeting in Detroit, although the general attitude is fair and the Detroit Free Press, with other papers may be said to give a fair amount of space to the public. The meetings I attended were all Negro gatherings. This has its good side: Negro do not want other people to come in and纵斥 them, and, although the white members on the official rosters are very likely to be hired, Indeed not the least of the favorable impressions I registered came thru individual contact with the officials, both white and colored. It is not necessary to agree with all the polls of each of these people in order to say that one feels instantly the assurance of a vital human enthusiasm in the atmosphere about them. The organization has brains, and it has a heart as well. Colored people enjoy a great deal of informality in their public meetings. On Tuesday night I heard two men give facts and figures out of their practical experience with the Negro in industry, and the audience was restless almost lamentless. People kept asking about the ball of the hall. A fiery piece of oratory the night in the audience and held it until the final speech came, which succeeded by its emotional intensity. The other mass meeting I attended was held in quieter surroundings and a better hall. Here there was stendy unanimity of attention to the impassioned recital of Negro wrongs and rights. The theme is not a new one any more, but it grips the people, almost as if a part of their religion. The conferences held during the day were experience meetings very farply being accounted of successful prosecutions of deliverances which could be attributed to the organization. Morton from Mobile, who was jailed and threatened with death simply for being an officer in the local body, told very simply and effectively his tale of oppression and escape. "I got on prayer and say, so he described his prayer that the mob had been admitted into the jail and surrounded him there," which heksphik "Loral, if Ive got to go to hen, help me to take as many of these with me as possible." "My own reception was very coniall. The members of the Chicago Branch stood by until I could meet personally a large number of, the delegates, who were very eager to help me when they found I was making a study of the Negro press. This is a matter very dear to this great people, and the responses to my inquiries were all I could desire. The Negro press, I would have been four hundred and fifty pages in doing Moses' work, "way down in the Bible" and telling the Old, Pharaohs down these my people go." Judging by thunders of aplause occasionally coming from the audiences, that Egyptain is not only the South, but also Washington, the seat of federal power; or anywhere else in the country where Negro rights are yet to be vindicated. FALSE RUMOR OF BOAT WRECK SCARES NORFOLK COLORED The Associated Negro Press NORFOLK, Va., July 6—A wild rumor has circulated in the city late last last. Tuesday evening that the river Steamer St. Johns had foundered and turned turtle in the Broad river, about a mile from Beaufort, S.C., while making a city to host city. This report quickly spread over the city and early that night crowds of Colored persons began to congregate at the foot of Whittaker street to await the return of the vessel or in confirm the story of the accident. At 11:30 the boat docked at the wharf at the foot of Whittaker street and everyone aboard was safe and sound. The boat had been chartered by the African Baptist church for its annual excursion and more than four hundred persons were aboard. In the opinion of Garvey, the promoter of the Pan-African project is a conceived entity. GOV. HYDE SIGNS BONUS BILL FOR EX-SERVICE MEN Missouri To Fall In Line With Other Progressive States. Powell Post Will Have Mass Meeting Saturday Night. Governor Hyde has signed the bill to submit to the voters of this state, the bill which deals with the bonus for the exservice men of the late war, on Tuesday, August 2. During the war the soldiers were placed under great financial and business sacrifices and many were handcapped after the war, due to inability to secure employment. Many states recalling the sacrifices of their respective men, have passed bills giving adjusted compensation to its soldiers. The American Legion, foremost in securing legislation in favor of disabled soldiers, is putting its shoulders solidly behind this bill and is asking the general public to support this bill on August 2. Tom Powel, Post No. 77, American Legion will hold a monster meet meeting, Saturday, July 9, 8:30 p.m. at 2007 Lawton avenue, on the Bonus Bill, to which all ex soldiers are requested to be present. The following letter has been issued by the American Legion: Dear Comrade: There has been called a Special Election for Tuesday, August 2, to vote upon a bond issue to provide funds for the State to pay, exservice men of Missouri ten dollars for each month of service (not to exceed $25,000) during the late war. The American Legion is arranging an election campaign for this bureau throughout the State and the bingo signed have been appointed the committee in charge of organization in St Louis. It is our intention to organize by bwards, prefects and block, distribute literature, get the voters out and provide watchers at the polls on election day. The political, fraternal and other organizations will be asked for cooperation. We will support the proposed amendments the Constitutional Convention, Good Rounds and provision removing remaining disabilities against women, and the organizations behind these movements will aid n. If you have moved since last Registration Day (Feb. 16, 1921) and your name was on the books at that time you should go to the City Hall (Election Sunday) to see them and have your votes counted. You can vote on Do this now. Do this now. The ex service man is or tried in this election and we expect everyone to do his part. Unless we work together, every man of us there is grave danger of failure to carry the Bond Issue for the bonus. All but six states in the Union have provided some form of bonus or comp sensation and Missouri is one of the Ky. States that a shocker in 1917 and 1918. Will it be in 1921? You must answer! A postal card is enclosed. Please tit out it now and push it into the first mail box you see. We need a return from every man, and if we all work together there will be only a few bonds work for each. Don't fail to reply at once. Our time is short. Personally yours, R. E. Liberty, M. Fairman A. D. Brix, M. D. N. C. Fischer, Wm. McMahon, Walter Lowe. Bonus Campaign Committee. BIG FINAL RALLY AT CENTRAL BAPTIST CHI The senior officers and members of Central Baptist church are expecting large financial results in their efforts to remove the debt from the church.

This day will mark the eighth anniversary of Central's marrow from Twenty-third and Morgan Sts. to the present corner. The Industrial Conference Hears Practical Speakers "Your savings account is a safe and safe asset toward economic independence," said Mr. James K. Thurray of the Lacutee Trust Co., addressing a group of colored employees at the monthly industrial conference of the Urban League. The purpose of these meetings is to increase the efficiency of the colored employees of St. Louis and to prepare them for larger opportunities upon the return of normal conditions. The practical way with the opening of savings accounts and the value of credit. The talk probed most helpful as was evidenced in the questions by the attendants. The last talk was made by Mr. T. A., Dickson, Agency Director of the company where we work on business integrity among the hosts, yet delivered. A Square Deal For Every Man VERY LITTLE OPPOSITION IS EXPECTED Action Of Legislature Is Being Closely Watched, As Other States Are Beginning To Strike Hard The Monster, "Mob Violence." News has reached our office that Governor A. M. Hyde has recommended to the extra special session of the Missouri Legislature an anti-lynching measure. This is quite gratifying at this time especially since the recent lynching at Bowling Green of this State is still afresh in the minds of the people. The actions of the legislature on this question is being closely watched as it is generally conceded that there will be little or no opposition to such a bill. It is being pointed out that other states are beginning to awaken to the situation, and strike and strike hard the monster, "Mob Violence," that the law of the people may rule. Reference is made to the State of Georgia which is suffering from her sons of letting mob violence run rampant in the State. The recent revelations show that lawlessness has gotten beyond control of the constituted authorities, and something drastic must be done to check the rising tide of disregard for law in that state. This is aptly brought out by the insistence in message of the governor of Georgia to the legislature that the most opportunity to illustrate the need of Missouri awakening to its peril. After taking up many matters Gov. Dorsey says: Mob violence should be suppressed by any state authorities. If this is not done, it is very, probable that federal intervention will not be very long delayed. There are now pending in the federal congress bills conferring juries upon unarmed tribunals punishing those unarmed tribal members. Without awaiting federal action, I submit that it is the duty of Georgia to take dakrime steps to deal with this question. Since my induction into office, on the 30th day of June, 1917, the newspapers have carried accounts of the following tynnings: (There follows the tynnning record in detail, with about one-third of the victims accused of rape; with still others accused of rape; with officers of whom lynched because she dared to make remarks about the lynching of her husband; a man was killed because he disputed a white man's word; another because he jumped a labor contract.) This makes a total of 58, all Negroes. In 1917, there were 5, lynnings. In 1918, 18; in 1919, 21; in 1920, 9; and so far in 1920, 5. Less than one-third of these patters to jail were charged with lynching or attempted.* From sources which so far as I know are reliable I have information concerning other lynchings not in the above list. Georgia sometimes stands at the head, and always high on the list among the states of the Union in this practice. While we have had fifty-eight victims of mob violence who were not accorded trial under the laws, or lynched, in hundreds who participated in these murders who have never been brought to justice, and in many cases no effort made whatsoever to apprehend or punish them. COLORED POLICEMAN CITED FOR BRAVERY CHICAGO, IL. July 6—In appreciation of the bravery of Policeman Albert McGruder of the Wabash ave. station, who was shot last Friday night when he repulsed twelve bandits singlehanded, Harder's Harder Fireproof Storage and Van Company, 10th st., and Calumet ave., has forwarded a check for $100 to the Tribune and asked that it be given to McGruder. We want to compensate this officer for his bravery in taking the stand he did in the shooting of the letter roads. "We believe bravery of this kind should be rewarded." McGruder, who is a 'Negro,' while in full uniform came upon two auto loads of men who, the police believe were about to blow a safe in the Harder warehouse. He gave battle and was wounded in the leg, but is certain he should at least one of the men before they made their escape. CONTINUOUS RAINS REVIVE BOLL WEEVIL Associated Negro Press CLINTON, Miss. July 6—Continuous rains the past week have been very deleterious to the welfare of the cotton crop. The long hot spell before the rains began had about wiped out the boll weevils, but with the coming of the rains and cloudy weather they returned with increased numbers and are practically destroying all the forces which the plants are putting on. Other crops, are looking well and it is believed farmers of this community will make enough foodstuffs to supply all their needs, like another year.

COMING, SUNDAY, JULY 17 William Farnum in "His Greatest Sacrifice"|July 21—Eddie Polo in "Do Or Die" New Serial HARDTACK JACKSON AND TALENTED COMPANY PLEASES BOOKER WASHINGTON CROWDS Hardtack Jackson has a versatile company of intelligent entertainers at the Booker Washington Theatre this week. The girls are vivacious, attractive and unusually well costumed. The fun is fresh, the music is original and the dancing is full of snap and pqq. The offering is merely a succession of song and dance sketches sprayed with tattoos fun. There is no plot. The vehicle is called "Happenings on Broadway and most of the doings center on the back of harmony between Jackson in the character of a Chinese fashionable undertaker and E. E. Pugh, as a turbulent black. They keep up a continuous upgrast with their caustic encounters and wild antics. The show opens with a leg view dancy, the curtain rising but a short distance from the stage. Jackson then introduces his "Chinese Jazz Band Ring" supported by the company Miss Ann Crawford and the girls follow with "Flower Garden Blues" in zestful song and dance "Tina Hairston was applauded by" down the Trail to Home Sweet Home, a beautiful sentiment, sweetly rendered. Then occurs a humorous bank dancing contest between Jackson, Poigh and Charlie Lockett. Miss Lillian Russell and the girls, costumed as birds, sing and dance a "Jazzland Ring." Hairston and the girls, elaborately costumed, score with 20th Century Vamps Have Nothing on Mother Eve." Miss Carrie Huff the song bird of the company, wins appreciation with her excellent rendition of "I hear you calling me." Miss Laura Badge, assisted by a quartet of girls, give an artistic interpretation of the "Praximal Dance" and the show closes with the entire company in a whirlwind of song and dance. All the musical numbers, but one, are compositions of Mr Jackson's and are funfelled melodies. Other girls in the chorus are Rubb Rollings, Robbie Wilson and Heinrich Laggott. The scene was painted by Willie Giant who appears in the production. Bowman's Cotton Blossoms At B. W. Next Week. In Wm. Fox's Greatest Drama Of Women, Their Affairs and Their Wishes. Our own W Henri Royman and his "Cotton Blossoms" will open a week's engagement at the Booker Washington next Monday night. This company has been winning much praise since our the circuit and the theatregoers may expect something above the ordinary next week. The company carries special spenery and an exclusive wardrobe. The chorus is pretty and the cast said to be artistic. The dramatic story of a woman who sought to buy her happiness with her honor and failed, only to find out that Happiness Can't Be Bought. ALSO—A Western Drama and Comedies Mr. Turpin announces that during the summer season, with very few exceptions, one week engagements will be the rule.

During the coming week Misses Pease and Seelt the song birds will feature "Sweet Little Stranger," "Thereres," "Arkansas Blues," "I Alot Giving Nothing Away," and "I Wonder Where My Sweet Daddy's Gone." The new, Sunday mainline plaque giving away two cash prizes at 5:30 has made a hit with the patrons. Many however, fail to arrive early enough and miss the feature. GOOD MUSIC A DECIDED FEATURE AT JAZZLAND The music feature at Jazzland is drawing crowds from all sections of the city. Miss those Johnson is lighting the entertaining up to a high standard and the Jazz on bassist with its distinct original and hotel features by a class by itself of course the air dances wassup is in big favor during those hot nights and the timeless service has won wide praise. A novelty dance with prizes is featured every Wednesday night. A tour of the motion picture theatres the past week revealed the fact that attendance has fallen off considerably during the hot period. This was, at first, a big surprise to the investigator as it was very apparent that all the houses visited were much more comfortable than the out side world. In fact, the atmosphere in some were really chilly, while the population was swelling in the humid heat outside. This difference, which is several degrees in some theatres, is due to the modern fans and ventilation. In one theatre the thermometer registered 72 while the outside was 89 A Romance of Mixed Wives, Tangled Husbands and Tastefully filled with Bathing Suits. ALSO—TWO PART WESTERN CENTURY COMEDY MUTT & JEFF It is also noticeable that the best and highest grade of pictures are being shown during this time, and practically going to waste because of the decreased attendance. It is unfortunate that so many good pictures are registering failure from the box office point of view, when they can be viewed with such cool pleasure as is being provided by the managers. The coming week's program at The Star Theatre will open Saturday with Zane Gray's great western masterpiece "Man of the Forest!" The first episode of Eddie Poole in the new Universal Serial, "Do or Die," will also be run. This is a thriller that presents many unusual breath-taking stunts. On Sunday, this theatre will present "So Long Letty," a 6 reel Comedy Drama. It is a romance of mixed witches and tangled hushands and is a scream from beginning to end. Tom Moore in "Officer 666," a mixture of Love, Intrigue, Mystery and Fun will be shown Monday and William Hart in "The "Block" is a feature Wednesday. -No More Worry Of The Penny THE ST.

HEALING BY FAITH Healing by faith or a demonstration of the presence of divine power in human affairs is the basic theme in George McFord's latest Paramount picture, "The Faith Healer." The story concerns a young shepherd who feels the divine call to go forth and heal the sick and suffering. When he is at the height of his work, love enters his life, and with the birth of his passion he feels his divine power waning. He is on the point of renouncing his mission, when it dawns upon him that love is a gift of God, and that he can entertain a pure love for the girl and at the same time go on with his work. With this comes a return of his healing power and a renewed consecration to his work aided by the girl, who also devotes her life to his mission. Always On Time and Up To Date.

It is a story not of Wall Street life, but of a Wall Street financier who, through a rotten adventure, finds himself in a dangerous world of criminals whose operations are international in scope and aimed at the financial centres throughout the world. Exposure of his identity brings with it his condemnation to death by the society as one who knows too much for the gang's safety. The efforts to destroy him and his defiance of these efforts—in which he is aided by the girl he loves who is affiliated with the gang—develop several of the heroes and victims of the gang.

It deals a sidelight on who should be divided and forth to heal the sick. He falls in love and it is this passion upon which the action revolves. A strong love-interest runs throughout the picture, which hinges upon the question whether a man with a great mission as that assigned to the Healer, can continue his mission in the face of new individuals.

Nelson is the jewel-thief and is about to give him up to justice, when she overhears his declaration to the thieving gang and does just the opposite of what one would expect. The first episode of the new Pathe Serial featuring Juanita Hansen, "The Yellow Arm" will also be shown on Saturday. The second episode of fiction, "Black Beauty" will be The Criterion feature o n Sunday. The film is unique in many respects, and is dillied with spectacular scenes. The fox hunt, the fire in the stables, the storm that washed the bridge away, the grand ballroom scene and the race between horse and locomotive are some of the big moments in the picture. Is one of the big pictures of the year. It was produced at an enormous cost and has one of the largest and most expensive casts ever assembled for a special production. Harry Carey in "The Wallop" will the feature at The Olympic Sun With the unfenced west for his stage and the scope of human emotion for his interpretation, Carey gives an excellent performance of the story as it was originally written by Eugene Manlove Rhodes. The picture shows him returning to his home town and to the "girl" he comes back wealthy, to offer her material comforts in addition to love. At their first meeting he discovers that she has given her heart to a younger man. First he makes sure that the young fellow is worthy of her; then he starts out to help him. His efforts precipitate a political conflict that will result in an amazing climax by which Harry Curry proves that he is not only a farmer, western star but one of the foremost emotional actors of the giant drama.

It tells the story of a man who with his band of followers, settled in that part of the west, stayed by the settlers. He was warned to leave but refused to do so. A feud started and many plotted battles. Finally the captain, the chief, the cabins of the herders, destroying several lives of women and children.

A two reel comedy "The Haunted House," is also on Sunday's program. "The Rainbow Trail" At Lincoln Theatre William Farnum fir "The Rainbow Trail" will be presented at The Lincoln Theatre Sunday. It is a singularly powerful Western tale tucked with love and heart interest and affords an unusual number of real thrills. It is one of the best Farnum productions ever shown here. The scenes are largely laid in the Grand Canyon of Arizona and from a scenic standpoint the picture probably never has been surpassed by anything under taken by photoplay producers. Many scenes in "The Rainbow Trail" rise to great heights of dramatic intensity and are presented with the ultimate of Mr. Farnum's ability as an actor. It is a drama that grips the memory long after its showing. A two reel Squashline Comedy, "Verse or Worst," and & Mutt and Jeff comedy will also be presented. She Destroyed Her Marriage Certificates for the angry chorus girl decided that since her husband and his family wanted nothing to do with her she would go her way alone.

LABOR CONVENTION FAILS TO ADOPT A WORKING PROGRAM DENYEN, Colo., July 9. (Special Correspondence.) A pon reading the executive council's report presented the first day of the American Federation of Labor convention, one folio it to be a great pity that so important convention should take place without submission to it of a unified program of some sort for the advancement of the Labor movement. The text of 130 resolutions submitted by delegates was made public in the printed proceedings of the second day—after which no resolutions are introduced under the rules without unanimous consent. The same feeling of helplessness followed a perusal of them. There were bright spots here and there, but no program—not even the material; out of which to make a program. Some criticize the leaders of the A. F. of L. and charge them with not leading, but here is the one spot where every delegate has the opportunity to at least present his ideas for the advancement of the movement. Not only that, but the labor movement is confronted with the gravest crisis in its history. There has been plenty of congratulation at the convention, on the splendid manner in which the movement has come through the crisis this far, but nothing resembling a comprehensive plan of action.

The nearest thing to a program presented to the convention was a scripts of resolutions submitted by the electrical workers' delegation and a dozen other delegates, including J. W. Kline of the blacksmiths; Martin Ryan of the railway carmen; Joseph W. Morton of the stationary firemen and James J. Forrester of the railway clerks. One man prevented the convention from considering a resolution condemning the Ku Klux Klan, although the delegates seemed overwhelmingly sympathetic with the denunciation of the Ku Klux Klan. Hutcherson, international president of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Jollers of America. A bleak feature of the resolutions was the presence of four or five pleas from Colored workers in various lines for admittance to the unions. The A.F. of F. is on record for racial equality and urging all the international unions affiliated with the A.

This appointment comes as no surprise to us as we had predicted that Mr. Taft would be the successor to the late Chief Justice White. No one seems to doubt or question Mr. Taft's ability as an able jurist, but we do doubt whether he is big enough (not avoiddupois) to deal usily and fair with those questions affecting the rights of the Negroes as American citizens. He has shown his unfitness for this high official position by his catering to the Life whiteness of the South. He has been quoted as saying, that President Harding should not appoint Negroes to Federal positions in the South, where there was opposition on the part of the whites of the community. This we consider a betrayal of those who have been loyal and for many years had faith in the Republican party. So, in the face of such facts, the Negroes of America cannot but look upon Taft's appointment to the highest judicial office of the land, with suspicion and fear. Of course, we appreciate the fact that those statements by Mr. Taft on these subjects were not made under oath of truth, and as such does not necessarily reflect Mr. Taft's sense of justice, nor his opinion of legal justice. But time will tell. The opportunity is his to show what kind of jurist he really is. And, until we are shown, we shall mourn his appointment. A group of white ministers out in New York are very much aroused with righteous indignation over the big fight that was pulled off last Saturday at Jersey City. They deplore with terror, the fact that women and children were allowed to view such brutality of man against man. It is now said, that these "divines" and their supporters are faithfully working to have a law passed to prohibit the repetition of this cruelty of man against man. We are wondering where were these thin-skinned ministers of the gospel when all the lynchings and burnings of human beings by their fellowmen in this country, since the days of Henry Ward Becclesi. So far as we have been informed, there has not been a voice raised by the white ministry against lynching, burnings and other social injustices that are practiced against the Negroes in America during the past thirty years. Neither have we heard a word from these messengers of righteousness against race riots in which hundreds of women and children have been most brutally murdered. Not what are "you all" doing to bring about a better condition for the Race; but what "am I"—Number one—doing to change conditions? When you awake from your slumber and the scales fall from your eyes, the change will naturally come. When the would be leaders become less self-seeking, the Race will get a hearing at the front. The days are getting shorter and coal is getting higher as the winter draws nigh—He wase. PRESIDENT KING VISITS TOMB OF COL.

Two votes were cast against the proposal, which was submitted in the form of a resolution offered by Representative Tinkham of Massachusetts. Before a vote was recorded, Representative Mondell, the House leader, said that only 30 out of the Republican House membership of 258 were present and suggested the lack of a quorum. Several thereupon left; but those who remained organized another conference and placed themselves upon record in the matter. A committee of the House voted to confirm the question before a full Representation亦求。 MEMBER An Ambitious Young Man Annual Session Of THE MEMORIAL # JOHN T. MILES A recent addition to the service of R. M. C. Green, underpierker, is the connection of John T. Miles, a young man of ability and sterling qualities. Mr. Miles is a native of Birningham, Ala., where he received his elementary training in the public schools of that city. He continued his studies at the Bowling Green, (KY.) Academy and interment in the academic department of that institution. Not being satisfied, young Miles matriculated at the Agricultural and Mechanical College, Nohlam, Alabama and pursued the course of commercial art, in which he was quite successful. After coming to St. Louis, being ambitious, he studied embalming at the St. Louis College of Embalming, from which he graduated successfully passed the Missouri State board of Embalming with a credible high mark. Like most of the young men of the Race who succeed, M. Miles while pursuing his education met with many difficulties. He proudly recites how at one time he worked for the princely sum of fifty cents a week including his board, that he might go to school.

SAYS AMERICA AND ENGLAND WILL CLASH The Associated Negro Press LONDON, July 6. The year 1924 is the time set by Loan Trotzky when mattime rivalry between England and America will lead to a naval clash between the two. The prediction was made by Trotzky in addressing the Communist Congress, according to a friend from Moscow, to the Daily Herald. Trotzky declared according to the distress, that capital is disintegrating and described America as a "swollen gourmand" and announced that England is losing her position of world importance. Infentions Good, Methods Poor. The Paulman porter's intentions were good, but his methods door. Two sisters, near the sixty mark, were on route from Kansas to Indiana. The younger, weighing about 50 pounds was convulsing from a long illness and needed assistance in moving about. The porter frequently was called for help. One morning he met the older sister, who weighed near the 180 mark, and remarked: "Why, your mother just walked down the alba. She must be much better." And when the porter was told of the "social error" he had made, he spent the greater part of the remainder of the journey pleading with the older sister not to tell of his mistake. The Explanation. Returning home from the park a man was jubilant because he had won prizes at several of the stands. "I got four boxes of candy, two kewpie dolls, seven stickpins and a chickpee" he told his wife. "Did you wear your sporty hat?" "Yes." "And that suit with the big checks?" "Why, certainly." "And that loud tie?" "Yes, but what's the difference?" "That accounts for the winning of all those prizes. Filt bet a cookie the stand keepers thought you were a caper connected with the outfit." Salt: Rising Bread. A cooking class is being organized in Houston to revive the lost art of making "salt rising" light bread. If the good old bread of the daddies and inmates is to come back all suicidal latter-day contrivances as gas ranges and oil stoves will have to be set aside.

Suez Canal to Be Tunnelled. The great military base at Kantara, from which the British built a military railway through the desert to Palestine, is being dismantled. The line, of course, is permanent. During the war the Suez canal was crossed by a large bridge, which is now to be dismantled. Connection between the Egyptian railways and the new line to Palestine will be maintained by means of a tunnel which will be built below the Suez canal. Japan to Honee First Emperor.

Impenetrable Cloud Mask Envelopes the Planet and Allows No Glimpse of Anything Beneath. What makes the planet Venus so silver-bright? Many a one-husp put this question to himself, and must have been unable to find a satisfactory answer, London Answers states. But the answer is that we see the silver lining of the cloud-mask which covers the features of Venus, for, as dazzling as this planet appears to us, it is enveloped in somber clouds that never seem to break and afford us a glimpse of what is below. At least there is no real pixel that the markings which have been seen are on the planet's surface at all. Slow-moving cloud masses would be liable to be very deceptive and might well be mistaken for something more solid. The persistence of Venus' vast cloud-envelope is remarkable; it is present year in and year out, reflecting the sunlight, with mirrorlike brilliance. How Venus would appear without it is hard to say, us we have no knowledge whatever of the real composition of her globe. All that can be said with any certainty is that she would lose a large share of her radiant beauty if this light-reflecting shell of clouds were removed. She might look like Mars or like Mercury, and would certainly fall to bewitch mankind as she does now. The true secret of her peerless beauty, therefore, is her vell of clouds. SAVAGE CHILD IS TRAINED Baby Girl, From Their Earliest Infancy, Are Taught Household Duties by Their Mothers. Most of those who know little of savage and semi-savage peoples naturally suppose that the children are allowed to "run wild" with no thought given to their training. This is far from the truth, particularly among some of the tribes of Togoland, on the African west coast. As soon as a girl baby is able to toddle—and they are taught to walk much earlier than our children—the training of the girl is begun. She is given a cushion, and taught to balance it upon her head. Then the cushion is filled with water. Thus she learns her first duty in usefulness. From this time forth the child becomes a part of the tribal or village organization. She goes with her mother in the river—when the women go there for water. She is taught to sweep out the hut with a brown. Out in the forest she goes with mother and there learns what herbs and wild vegetables are good for food and which should be avoided. At home she is taught how to prepare the food the family eats. In a word, from her very earliest days the child is taught how to perform the domestic and other duties the average native woman must perform—Temple Manning in the Cleveland Plain Healer. Hope for the Middle Aged. "There is no need to grow old and stuff." This is Sir James Cantile's message to the man or woman whose muscles appear to be losing their earlier resilience. "It was delivered at a demonstration of Swedish gymnastics at the Albert hall in London. Sir James presided and after watching the graceful movements of the athletic young people of both sexes, he hoped they would continue their exercises even when they were no longer, young in years, "Some of us," he added, "who are watching should be in the arena doing what these young ones are doing. Their muscles are not hard and inflexible. Ours probably are." Sir James added that 80 percent of the people of the world were imperfect. One leg was shorter than the other by perhaps the eighth of an inch or a two hundredth part of an inch. It was abnormal to be normal. Quality Before Quantity. Mere bigness, after all, is never a sound criterion of value. Art consoisseurs know this. They will pay more for a tiny painting by Vibert than for huge canvases by painters inferior to Vibert in ideas—and in vision. To think qualitatively is, and always has been, a fundamental human need. It will always be. Not how much we possess, how much we produce, how much we export or import, but the quality of all our doing and feeling and believing—that is the thing. The wealthiest of nations can at the same time be the most discontented, restless and unhappy. "More, more, more," is never the slogan of true success. Think quality, not quantity, is the dictate of truth to all of us. H. Addington Bruce in the Chicago Daily News. Tired of Household Devotions. E. F. Benson, son of the late archbishop of Canterbury, in a reminiscent record of his family life, tells that the Benson children grew rather weary of the rigors of devotion established in the household of the archbishop and, when the inter was absent of Mst. Benson, mother of the brood, saying: "We won't have prayers tonight for a treat!" DISASTER COMES WITH RAIN Algerian Native Houses Are Built to In Algeria one of the perplexing historical pussies of my childhood was set at rest, writes Temple Manning in the Chicago Journal. Until I went there I had never been able to figure out exactly what was meant by the passage in the Bible that reads: "How can we make bricks, for we have no more straw?" But when I saw the Algerians make bricks by ingressing short straws in the mud of the fields, putting the bricks into shape, and drying them in the sun, the mystery was explained. And then one day when it rained I wondered why they ever did it. Fortunately it seldom rains in Algeria, but that day it rained as I never saw it rain before or since. The very hawens seemed to open and the celestial reservoir to empty itself within in a few hours. A veritable river gathered in the streets and ran from house to house throughout the little village, and every once in a white. I heard through the darkness of noonay a dull splash. The next morning I waded through the village to see what had happened, and I found whole families camping out on the highest ground, for their houses had melted away. Rain comes so seldom that the natives do not include it in their scheme of life; they build their houses for the sunny days. And when the rain comes their mud-brick houses, unless strongly white-washed, and their seldom are, fall down and melt into mud heaps. Then the whole family goes camping until the house is rebuilt. "To cha Allah!" smiles the serene owner—"It is the will of God." ARTICLE NOW SELDOM SEEN But Many Decades Ago the "Antimacassar" Was a Part of Every Well-Regulated Home. Did you ever come across the word "antimacassar?" If you are from New England you surely have met it, for New England is its home. The word means "an ornamental covering thrown over chalk, sofas, etc., to prevent their being solled by the half." Its derivation dates back to the romance of the days when American clipper ships ranged all over the seven seas and their bywaters. The hardy skippers of those days used to bring home a substance produced on the island of Celebes, in the eastern archipelago, named maccassar oil, from the place where it was obtained. There was a belief in those days that this oil tended to retard or prevent bainness. So it was used in plentiful quantities by beaux and near-beaux. But the oil worked havoc with the parts of chats and sofas whereon the aforesaid beaux reposed their shiny heads. So the New England housewives, as a preventive, devised the antimacassar (see the Latin "anti" against). Thrifty ladies, weren't they—and neat beyond cavil—Chicago Journal. Drink Plenty of Water. Are you taking at least eight glasses of water a day? It is food and medicine. It is more necessary to drink at least this amount than to comb your hair or wash your face. If our bodies did not have an enormous capacity for taking punishment the terrible perils we daily subject ourselves to if we do not drink enough water would be understood by every man, woman and child. It can be figured out, mathematically almost, that the lungs give off what amounts to more than two glasses of water a day. The skin gives off that much, or a good deal more, while the kidneys are subject to all sorts of irritations, followed by disease, when the fluids of the body are too heavy with the wastes and breakdown from every one of the billions of body cells. Copious water drinking dilutes these wastes—Chicago Tribune. They Had One, Too. Five-year-old Mary Ellen likes the hospital in their square because when she goes over to visit the nurses they always take her around to see the new babies there. But recently, her visits have been fewer than usual as her next-door neighbor has a small incubator which has been hatching fluffy chickens. Interestedly Mary Ellen has been watching him take them from the incubator. But a few days back Mary Ellen went to the hospital and into the kitchen where they were placing a new style ice box. For a little while she looked at it and then she said to one of the workmen, "They always showed me the babies, but I never did see the incubator before."—Indianapolis News. The desire to learn what become of birds that flew south with the approach of cold weather led Audubon, the great American naturalist, to place silver threads about the legs of a brood of phoebe. The following spring he was rewarded by having two of the birds return to near near the huts where they learned to fly. This occurred early in the Nineteenth century, and was the first known case in America of bird building. Since that time this means of securing information on the movements and life history of migratory birds has been used by many societies, and every full thousands of birds fly south bearing a narrow ring, stamped with a number, about one of its legs. Adversary assert that Japan is sequestering with the government of the Fur Empire at China with a view REALLY GOOD SHORT SERMON World Would Be Better If More of Us Had the Ideas of That Little Newboy. A bright-eyed, barefooted, shabby little fellow was working his way through a crowded car, offering his papers in every direction, in a way that showed him well used to the business and of a temperament not easily daunted. The train started while he was making change and the conductor, passing him, laughed. "Caught this time, Joe!" he said, "You'll have to run to Fourteenth St." "Don't care," hugged Joe in return, "I can sell all the way back again." A white-haired old gentleman seemed interested in the boy and questioned him concerning his way of living and his earnings. There was a younger brother to be supported, it appeared, "Jimmy" was lame and "could not earn much himself." "Ah, I see. That makes it hard; you could do better alone." The shabby little figure was erect in a moment and the dental was prompt and somewhat indignant. "No, I couldn't! Jim's somebody to go home to; he's jots of help. What would be the good of hain' luck if nobody was glad? Or if gettin' things if there was nobody to divide with?" "Fourteenth street!" called the conductor, and as the newboy jumped out into the gathering dusk the old gentleman remarked to nobody in particular: "I've heard many a poorer sermon than that."—Forward Magazine. SOHO MAY BE SWEPT AWAY Picturesque Part of London Scheduled to Yield to the Demand of Commerce. Two picturesque slices of old-London, known to tens of thousands of Americans, may soon be scooped away to satisfy the demands of commerce. Soho and the parish of St. Giles—or Seven Dials, as it is better known—are about to begin their passage into history and be converted into the most modern business district of the metropolis, possibly a second city of London. Soho, which probably derived its name from the duke of Montmouth's famous battle-cry "Soho" at Sedgmor, has experienced many vistasides of fortune. In the olden days regarded as one of the fashionable quarters of London, it gradually became the home of bohemianism and the haunt of Sinn Pepys and Goldsmith. Today its diggy, and uninviting streets are lined with French, Italian and Swiss restaurants, where Londoners and visitors may learn what the much-praised foreign cooking really is. The whole district is now almost entirely inhabited by foreigners and is the favorite meeting place of the archivists of the "tame" variety. For long it was looked upon as the equivalent of the Montmartre, but never at any time has it attained the attractiveness or liveliness of the gay Parisian quarter. "SPIRIT MESSAGE by RADIO. A true story, well known in scientific circles, records the first use of radio-telephone during the war in France. Professor W. — of Yale university, then in the reserve corps, was asked to witness a voice-controlled flight near Romarankin, France. Standing in a hangar on the ground, he placed the receiving instrument to his ear. The voice of an unseen person from the clouds spells a message. The professor turned pale as he dropped the receiver. "My God," he exclaimed, "that's Prof. Peter! He died nine years ago." The professor was told that the man speaking was one of the pilots of the 60th squadron. Soon the pilot came to earth and walked into the hangar. He proved to he Prof. Peters' son—Horace Green in Leslie's. Israel Zangwill occasionally likes to slip among the crowd so that he can find out what they are thinking about his work, and he has never forgotten an occasion on a certain evening when he did it. It was on the first night of one of his earlier plays. Filled with all a young author's anxiety, he ventured into the gallery in the hope of hearing some compliments. But there was "nothing doing" so he asked one man straight out what he thought of the production. "Well, guv'nok," replied the man, "the leading actor ain't bad"—"Ah yes." "And the leading lydy, she'll do." "Yes, yea." "But, guv'nor, what a play!" A nest of snakes, 15 in number, has been given an antium on a doctor's curate in Woodbury, N. J. The doctor has found that all kinds of crop-destroying lanceets are eaten by the reptiles. The lanceets are about early in the morning hide of midday and are soft against the evening. They are of a similar size in color and are difficult to distinguish unless seen on the move. The mackerel prefers to tangle around tombs and cumber plants where many will worms are to be found. Plants which the snakes have around a manurestone are staining maintained by women. The snakes have given several snakes their last name, the change. between the Cubs and the Thunderbirds noteworthy. WASHINGTON SITUATION IS STILL UNSETTLED "Lily Whites", Mostly Made Up Of Outlawed Democrats, Are Trying To Show The "Powers That Be," Where The Colored Americans Should Be Politically Electrocuted. Re-organization Is Imminent But Indications Are, The Axe Will Fall On Narrow Minded Political Chieftains And Not The Negroes. IF IN DOUBT TRY Street Bros. Drug Co. THE PEOPLE'S PAPER PART TWO WASHINGTON IS STILL "Lily Whites", Mostly Made Are Trying To Show The Colored Americans scuted. Re-organization Are, The Axe Will Fall Chieftains And Not The The Associated Negro Press. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 7. "Stop thief! Son thief!" may well be the slogan of the day, so far as political progress and action are concerned. There is an element in the country, for the present most active in the Republican Party, that is enduring to steal everything in sight. Their petty and grand larceny are not confined to the bronzeed Americans, but woe to such if the said element has its official way. This element, which goes under the general cigenom of "illy white," is very aggressive now. It is mostly made up of outlawed Democrats, and is seeking to show the "deep point" to the "flowers that be" where the colored Americans should be politically electrocuted. They are reckoning without their hosts, "how some-over," as Bert Williams might say. Colored Americans in the face of big ads, are exhibiting a degree of grim grit that is even commanding the respect off their enemies. Democratic Senators and members of Congress have informed The Associated Negro Press representative that they think the time is not far distant when larger numbers of Colored people will vote in the South. There is this situation: so great has been the "bub-bub," of reaction since the meeting of the Republican National Committee when representation in conventions was cut in the South that a new "line of dope" has gone out. It is this wise. "The Republic of America...don't think so. That cutting down is but a forerunner of cutting down representation in Congress. That sounds pregnant with possibilities. It is, plausible enough to make all concerned sit up and take notice. Especially is this true with the never ending efforts of Congressman Tinkham of Massachusetts to "show up the country" on the subject of disfranchisement. The official axe has fallen. It has failed and with it defined on the political needs of Democrats and backslidden Republicans; so hard has the fall been that there is "ween and wailing and grashing of teeth." Narrow minded political cheftains, near cheftains and hundreds of less and lesser lights, have seen Unieo Sum's ghost walked for the last time. They have been slipping from the public milk bottle for eight years, and they have had a wonderful time. They have played all the little and big jokes that they and his Satanic Majesty could 'knive-in' on the Colored Americans. They did their worst and now it is 'the end of a perfect day.' General Charles G. Jawes, of Chicago, who was selected by President Harding to get the new budget under way, and to be the official headman, has wielded a mean and wicked axe. He started right off in his characteristic way by telling everybody, from the President down, that he would have to bring a "free hand." He was given it, hence the shaughter. It has been stated by those in authority, and given to The Associated Negro Press representative for information to the people, that there is going to be a new deal, and one that Shirting with party organization, the word comes from the Republican National Committee that they who think they are going to carry on party organization by eliminating Colored Americans, have another thought coming. This expression was backed up recently by a telegram from the new National Chairman, Mr. Adams, to members of a so-called "Militant-Republican Organization" in Atlanta, Georgia. In substance the telegram was a call to action to hold in Kimball House Atlanta where Colored people are in no way permitted to go except as servants, was very-much in disfavor with the Committee, as well as others in power. That word fell heavy on the hearts of the militants, and they have been called out to the John Adams seems to be proceeding along the line of "Come clean or stay away." A Strange Situation There is a strange situation existing in political circles. There is more activity at this time than there is at some elections. The activity is not for jobs nearly so much as for the chance to have citizenship rights. On the other hand, in a "Man's choice" in the battle of life, there is only one idea — JUSTICE. Linney Denies He Was Author Of Circular Favoring Disfranchise- Ment Of Colored Americans Frank A. Linney of North Carolina, who was opposed by Colored citizens of that state on the ground of certain campaign documents sent out in the 1920 election, has denied the authorship of the specific circular mentioned, and declared that he is not for disfranchising Colored citizens. The hearing on the Linney case took place before a subcommittee of the Judiciary, Committee of the United Stata Senate. The members of the Committee were Senator Erust, of Kentucky, chairman; Senator Cum mins, of Iowa and Senator Overman of North Carolina. More than two hundred white and Colored citizens from North Carolina and other states had gathered for the meeting. Senator Ernst informed The Associated Negro Press that, much to his regret, the rules of the Senate made it necessary for the session to be secret. However, a committee of the Colored citizens of North Carolina, with Dr. Sesquid President of Livingstone College as chairman, together with attorneys were permitted to remain at the hearing. The North Carolina citizens selected as their attorneys Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson of Atlanta, George and Atly William C. Matthews of Boston. On the face of the so-called Lilburn city committee sitting as whole had offered eight to two to reject Lilburn. However, in the hearing, Linney went on record stating that the circuitus was signed by dither member of the committee during a sick spell. This man Mickens, who confessed that he wrote the circuitus, is a U. S. government official and is an outspoken "illy whistle" of the first striper. He was also a Council member he favored disaffection of Colored Americans. Linney declared that he did not. He stated that he believed in no educational qualification; but that it should apply to both rares alike Linney declared that he would honestly uphold his outfit of office and the Constitution, if confirmed, and that he would go further, that he would be a member against registrars refusing to register Colored citizens and indulge the regrets on them. With this turn of affairs the Colored representative citizens of North Carolina were satisfied, and pronounced it a victory. At the same time, the Administration was relieved of a combarrassing situation, as it is rather certain that the judiciary committees would have refused to odorize Lilburn had he claimed the authority of the curbular, or declared that he was in sympathy with its contents. There was general reaping at the close of the hearing, and the opinion prevails that henceforth Colored citizens will be given more consideration in politics in the "Tar Her" stuggy. WHEAT HARVESTERS ARE MOVING NORTH KANAS CITY, Mo., July 6. -Mobilization of the labor army moves northward from Texas to Dakota every year, cutting the wheat as it ripens, is beginning here.

FLORIDA" LILIES" AND "BLACK AND TANS" IN PATRONAGE ROW The Associated Negro Press TAMPA, Fla. July 4.

SOUTHERNERS DON'T WANT HARDING'S CHOICE FOR RECORDER Associated University ASSOCIATE MARKHAMTON, July 6 — Henry Lincoln Johnson of Atlanta, GA., has been nominated for Resident of Dews for the District of Columbia. President Harling in sending the name of Mr. Johnson to the Senate created a distinct surprise in political circles and none was more surprised than Col Johnson, himself. He has let it be distinctly understood that he was not a candidate for office and that under no circumstances would he resign as a member of the Republican National Committee. To the A.N.P. representative of Col Johnson's side, I am not yet sure I will accept, but I must first talk the matter over with my lovely ones here in my family. My desire is to be of the greatest service to my people and I will yield nothing in principle for public possession." A group of southern Democratic Senators have announced that they will oppose the constitution but it is certain the opposition will not prevail. Washington and the country are regardless of the President's Registrar of Treasury. Some other politically profess to feel that the Insurgent movement threatened by 100 Republican congressmen and led by Rep Ansorge may cause a revival of interest by the powers that, he. CELEBRATION OF 100TH BIRTHDAY ANNIVERSARY SEHALIA, Mo., July 7.—Down here in Sedalia, the Queen City of the Prairies, will be enacted in August the greatest historical celebration that Missouri has ever known. Missouri is celebrating her one-hundredth birthday, and she's doing it in true Missouri style. This prairie town is agog with excitement and preparation for the coming "Pagement of Missouri," which is to be presented for six nights here at the Centennial Exposition in August in the magnificent pagement depicts in touch episodes the development of Missouri from a (frontier) wilderness to a mighty sovereign State. It presents the significant episodes in the life of the state and portraits prominent places and persons who contributed to the submissions. Five thousand characters, including four regions of Missouri, National Guardmen, appear in the pageant. The lumber for the stage and props if placed end to end would fetch from Kansas City to St. Louis and back again. More than a ton of nail and screws will be required to put the stage and scenery together. Twenty seven tons of paint, shellac and glue will be needed to paint and construct the scenery. The canvas used will shelter a town of a thousand people. It would require ten passenger trains and a large freight train to transport the cast and scenery. The women of Natalia, well organized into committees, are busy from morning to night sowing costumes for the gigantic production. Several thorn and costumes must be prepared within the next month. Each morning a little clock, hundred of women and children gather at the Coliseum on the Fair Grounds to rehearse their parts in the spectacle. The men rehearse in the afternoons, and everyone meets in the evenings for general rehearsals. Meanwhile, thirty scenic artists from Chicago are painting the magnificent scenery for the pagan and the homo-mythical pieces of stage properties that will illuminate the Walt Disney being built of the Zebulun Walls. The first steamboat that ever docked in St. Louis, of the first train run on Missouri soil and of buildings and places of historical significance in the early history of the State. In addition to the present, which will be the biggest single feature of the Centennial Exposition and State Fair, there will be the homeschooling of Missourians, a big reunion of the governor's governors, several gourgeous parades of progress, which show Missouri's development in the past hundred years, interesting historical exhibits and displays, and hundreds of feature attractions, including automobile and horse races, airplanes exhibitions, a monster show, and scores of vaudeville and hip-hop performances, wonderful live stock shows, and elaborate agricultural, horticultural, agricultural and mineral exhibits.

THE TRADE MAKER PAGES 7-12 ENCOURAGING REPORT FROM URBAN LEAG. Armstrong Ass'n Of Phila. Secures $67,985 In Contracts For Colored Business. One Man Is Placed As Engineer With Pennsylvania Railroad. PHILADELPHIA. July 6.—The Armstrong Association of Philadelphia affiliated with the National Urban League has just issued a most interesting and encouraging report of a year's work in behalf of the colored citizens of the "City of Brotherly Specializes in industrial activities, having 1633 persons in positions last year at an estimated value of $224,837 per month. These workers were in thirty-four different kinds of occupations nine contracts were awarded to colored contractors amounting to $71,955, and one man was placed as an engineer with the Pennsylvania Railroad. It was time that this Company has engaged a colored man in this capacity. Home and School visitors who have carried social work from three school centers into the homes of the pupils, have made on the average of one hundred visits each per month. These workers have assisted in starting a Little Mother's Club and a clinic for Babies, and in investigating the need for special care in one of the schools of Nursery. We are established in the fall. They have inaugurated a successful Dress Reform Campaign against Lateness, and assisted in strengthening the Big Sister and the Scout Movement. A scholarship fund of $172.61 was raised with which three scholarships were established at the University of Pennsylvania, one at a medical college and one at Temple University. Assisted by two student at the University of Denver and one who is preparing to enter Hampford Institute. Neighborhood Center Work has been conducted during the summer in Southern New Jersey—where a successful Farmer's Pierie was conducted, play ground work, sewing classes, home gardens and a baseball team are maintained. In relating the work to prospective jobs the Industrial Secretary A. L. Manfy has been the consultant on problems affecting workers in large number of big industrial plants, and the woman industrial secretary, Miss Emma V. Carter has rendered similar services in connection with women employees in factories and other connections. Recently Miss A. L. Richardson has for number of years been a Home Office staffer taken over by the Board of Education of Philadelphia for this same work thus justifying* the Armstrong Association in its experiment. The Secretary and most active person at the Board of Managers of the Armstrong Association is John T. Emben who is Vice-Chairman and a member of the Executive Board of the National Urban League. The cost of conducting this work during the past year was $922840. The Board of Managers is made up of both colored and white men and women who feel that it is then crucial to understand the roles and friction may be reduced to a minimum.

LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, JULY 8, 1921 The Periscope COMPETITION "Competition is at the bottom of all our trouble," remarked the philosopher. Tulsa has been a shining example of economic progress. The health is higher per capita there, among Negroes than in any other American city of size. This commercial success aroused bitter jealousy, among a group of students. The Klux of Mobile have sent out notices that no Colored physician will henceforth be permitted to have white patients. The American Federation of Labor, at its annual convention in Denver, frosted at the mouth, spattered and growled when the resolution was presented to Again wipe out the "Color Line." It was "wiped out" once more last year, it will be resolved. The Klux of Mobile people out of work in the United States at this time. In ratio of population there are more whites unemployed than there are Colored. The man who "has not," generally feels pretty much out of sorts with the fellow who "Has." altro that is quite un-American in principle. This is supposed to be a "land of the free and home of the brave" where every fellow, is glad to see the other get along.

There is too much of the "Jiggs and Maggie" attitude between brothers. BEING COLORED By. Wm. Pickens The Associated Negro Press Now and then we read after some paper or person who accuses the colors American of "not wanting to be a Negra" or of being ashamed of his race. How can we show such a person that often what appears as dissatisfaction of one's color or race is really a dissatisfaction with the condition of one's color or race? One may seem to be seeking another color when he is only seeking a better chance. Black as a color is just as popular in the world as white, but black men have more inconvenience artificially created for them in white-controlled countries. It is no more discreditable to colored people that some of them want to escape the inconvenience of being colored than it is to white people that some of them want to appropriate and arrogate to themselves extra privileges and advantages because they are white and for no other reason. Colored people are not in reality trying to escape being black, but they are trying to escape the unnaturalness of being terrible and the inconvenience of being black, as colored Americans are laughed, jinked, powed, disfranchised and robbed, there will be a tendency in at least some of them to escape these dangers at the risk of losing their racial connections. That means only that colored people are human. The only thing to be wondered at is, that this tendency is not stronger. Many times in America have honest-minded white people expressed to the writer their surprise that tens and tens of thousands of perfume by white women have been given to their easy opportunity to pass over to the white group which they could do by simply changing their geographical location. The marvel is that the great majority of these people do not "try to escape from their" race or rather to escape from what it not their race into what it does, and that more than fifty percent Caucasian, exo Anglo-Saxon. We will be blaming the Negro for being human unless we thing ourselves into a like situation where we can feel how human it is. When the race riots were raging in Chicago, one white family who lived in a section surrounded by Negroes, blackened their faces and endeavored to escape frightful section. They were not ashamed to be white they were (temporarily at least) afraid to be white. They were not trying to escape from their race" they were not aape蒙蒙 death. Would it not be mae to accuse them of being "shamed of their race" because they were trying for other and entirely sufficient reason to look and act like Negroes? We might as reasonably accuse those white fugitives of not wanting to be white, as to accuse colored fish who try to escape frightening and insult of not wanting to be black. WHEN GOD SAVED WOMEN It was 8 o'clock in the morning when I pulled up near Presbyterian Lodge. ner Truth, who some all the way from Michigan to see you." He then arrows gave me his hand, made a bow and said: "I am pleased to see you." I said to him, Mr. President, when it first took your seat, I feared you would be torn to pieces for I likened you unto Daniel, who was thrown into the den's den, and if the lions did, not tear you to pieces. I knew it was good who had saved you. I said If he paired me I would see you before the four years, appred. He has done so, I am here to see you for myself. He then congratulated me on having been spared. I then said: I am associate you, for you are the best President who has ever taken the seat." To then replied: "Doubtless you refer 'o my having emancipated the slaves in my proclamation?' I then said: Thank God, that you were the instrument selected by him and the people to do it." I told him he had never heard of him before he was talked of for President. He suddenly replied: "I had heard of you many times before him." I then asked to see the Bible which had been given him by the colored people of Baltimore. He dispatched a messenger, who soon returned, wiring with him a silver-mounted wall hanging the Bible. This was placed upon the table of which I was sitting. The President, standing by the table, turned the leaves and showed me the craygings which were richly ornamented with gold. The covers bear a large plate of gold representing a slave with the shackles falling from him in a cotton field, stretching out his hand in gratitude to President Lincoln, for the freedom of his Race. At the feet of the freedman there is a scroll bearing upon its face the word "Emancipation" in large letters. On the reverse cover is another gold plate containing the following inscription: "To Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, the friend of universal liberty, by the loyal Colored people of Baltimore, as a token of respect and gratitude, Baltimore, July 4, 1864." The entire affair cost $5,800. I had looked it over. I said how wonderful that the Colored people have given a Bible to the head of the government, and that the government once sanctioned laws that would not peril its people to learn enough to read it. He replied: "It is indeed most wonderful! I am proud to say I was never treated with more kindness and cordiality than was shown me by that great and good man, Abraham Lincoln by the Grace of God, President of the United States for four more years. He then took my little book, and with the same hand that signed the death warrant of slavery, he wrote: "For Amity Sojourner Truth, Oct. 29, 1863. A. Lincoln." CURRENT TOPICS The Associated Negro Press Japan is getting ready to fight. Official and journalistic circles in the United States are somewhat fearful that the plan of preparation anticipates a conflict with our country. There may be good reasons for this fear. The Japanese are a proud and a powerful race. Their history is alive with great goals and with far-reaching achievements. The finer accomplishments of art and literature have been their for centuries of time that goes back into the depths of an illuminated antiquity. They are refined, intelligent, brave. The American tradition is new, crude, aggressive. It is vain not proud. Success is its star. It vain not achievement. Whatever attitudes it assumes toward life in the broader aspects is repellingly impudent. When prompted to make maneuver, it is foolhardy, not fearful. They feel themselves finer than the Japanese. The Japanese know theirs is the superior social instinct. Each earnestly desires to survive. It is the subtle, perhaps overloaded social spirit of the Orient in clear contrast to the franker and more course social promptings of the Occident. It is therefore, of course, exploitable and bound to be crashingly destructive between these two antipathetic social forces. I present my assumptions that the spiritual advantage will be with the Japanese. I am inclined to go a step farther to assert that the material advantage, as well will be on their side. It is quite true. I adult, but not of flexibility in the administration of the Occident, and maintain there is ever present the situations of an economic exploitation which successfully mitifies whatever is set forth its promises of a social principle. A loose knitting of its social elements is the consequence. On the other hand the Japanese are a close knit group. They are cunningly adaptive yet obstinately tenacious in their retention of the Japanese manner for reaching social ends. All of which brings me back to the place where I started. Japan is getting ready to fight. May we be prepared when the time comes. Anyone visiting Chicago must not fall to see The Defender plant and building. It is one of the real achievements of the Race. I say "Race" because, to my Robert S. Abbott is a product of our breed of humankind. His attainments are of the conservatism make. Scholarship, in him, is valuable quantity. A pioneer who built better than he knew he kept building. And, oddly, he is a dreamer—a dream of things which took definite shape in a clouded and often confused with multiplicities of aspirations and the incoincidences of confusing doubts.

REFERENCE MATERIAL-1 Cor. 15:8. PRIMARY TORIC - Gospel to School in **PRIMARY TOPIC**—Going to School in Jerusalem.—Acts 22:3; 4:5:34. JUNIOR TOPIC = Baul Percuting Christian INTERMEDIATE AND BENIOR TOPIC -A Young Pharisee YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Saul Persecuting the Church. 1. Saul's Training as a Pharisee (Acts 22:3,4; 20:1,6). 1. Taught to love his own nation. "I am a Jew." The Pharisees were the nationalists, of their day. Those who are intelligently loyal to their own nation can more effectively help others. 2. Taught to love God's law. "Taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers." Love for the Holy Scriptures is a valuable asset in life. One may misinterpret it and dangerously misapply it; but if he has love in his heart for it there is hope of getting him to come into right relationship to it. 3. Was "zealous toward God." The root of the word "zealous" signifies "to boll." It means a passion for God and His work. It was zeal for God that made Saul think of and plan for his work. This zeal for God expressed itself in persecution of the Christians whom he regarded as doing that which was contrary to God's law and purpose. He spared neither age nor sex, even to imprisonment and death (Acts 22:4). II. Saul Thoroughly Conscientious (26:9, 10). In his conscientiousness he opposed Jesus, for he regarded Him as an impostor. Saul is to be commended in that he responded to his conscience, but he is to be condemned for his attitude toward Jesus; for there was overwhelming evidence that Jesus was God's Son and came in fulfillment of the Scriptures. The resurrection of Christ was such an outstanding miracle—a proof of the Delys of Christ, that there was no room left for doubt. 11. Stephen's Martyrdom. (Acts 7: 54; 8:3). In order to understand the significance of his martyrdom we must obtain a synthetic view of his life. 12. Who Stephen was (6:1-7). He was one of the seven who were appointed to look after the temporaryties of the church. 2. Why Stephen was opposed (6:8-16). In his work he testified of Christ and by the Holy Spirit wrought miracles. These mighty works aroused the people. The following features characterized him: (1) Wisdom, which means common sense; (2) grace, which means beauty of character; (3) power. He had the ability to do wonders and great signs and sneak the truth effectively. The men of the opposing synagogues were not able to "withstand the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spake." They arrested and brought him before the great council. Even here they could not silence him by argument, so they decided to do it by violence. 3. Stephen stoneed (7:54-60). Before the council he made a magnificent defense. This he did by tracing the history of Israel from the call of Abraham to the crucifixion of Christ. His aim in this review was to show that God never had been localized and that the temple was but a small part of God's plan. In his address he did not speak against the temple but showed that God did not in the fullest sense dwelt in it at any time. He proved this from Scripture (Isa. 61: 1, 2; 1 Kings 8-27). In his conclusion he declared that the Jews had always been a gulf-necked people, resisting the Holy Spirit, and now their stubbornness had reached its culmination in the betrayal, rejection and murder of the Son of God. This charge cut to the heart. His arguments were unanswerable. Being unwilling to answer him and at the same time to accept the truth presented, their anger was stirred to its highest pitch; so their only answer was stones. They grasped upon him as a mad dog. In this hour of trial God gave him a wonderful vision. He was permitted to see into heaven itself, and there he got sight of the glorified Son of Man standing at the right hand of God. 4. Shepheen's burial (8:1-3). His death is described as a falling asleep. This is really all that death is to the Christian. Desout man buried him, making great lamentation over him. Power of Prayer.

III, July 6.—The Cooperative Society of America and Harrison Parker, its chief promoter are in trouble again. Litigation has been started that seeks to oust Parker from his place as supreme dictator of the organization's destiny and to throw the concern into the hands of a receiver, according to the letter. The bill presented in the petition 66,000 investors have sunk over $500,000 in the project that Parker is making frenzied efforts to sell $5,000,000 worth of certificates which the petition states, will probably be diverted to the advancement of his private ventures to the extreme detriment of the Co-operative Society's interests. Colored people are credited with having invested more than $3,000,000 in the Co-operative Society with a strong likelihood. It is asserted by the petitioners, that they will lose every penny of this large sum of money from the goal of Parker's business. The bill also charges that the 121 stores of the company in the city of Chicago are being operated at a monthly loss of $20,000. "This is another instance," said a prominent Colorado business man who does not care to be quoted, "of Colored people putting their unbridled confidence into the offerings of the white men. This man Parker has succeeded in parting 5,000 or 6,000 Colored people from money they are not likely to ever see again. They have done this at the expense of strong, legitimate business organizations like the Bhinga State Bank, Liberty Life Insurance Company and the Nile Queen Corporation. "I hope their experience with this man Parker will cure them of this habit." The petitioners, mostly white, declare that they will leave no stones unturned in their effort to make Parker disgorge what they call his "ill-gotten gains." WM. H. TAFT BECOMES CHIEF JUSTICE OF U. S. THE ST.

NAT'L BAPTISTS ARE TO MEET AT NEW ORLEANS NEXT The Associated Negro Press NEW ORLEANS, La. July 6—The people of New Orleans united to make the coming session of the National Baptist Convention a great success. Confirmation of the appointment was not without opposition. Seminars Bornh, Johnson, and LaFollette and Watson of Georgia voted against the nomination, and, according to reports, Seminars Bornh and Johnson expressed criticism of Mr. Taft's capacity for the position and that many of his utterances have disclosed lack of judicial temperament. The roll call was 60 to 1 for confirmation. Seminars Senators, including Underwood of Alabama, the minority leader, were active in supporting the nomination. Mr. Underwood was said to have declared that the nominee was "beloved by the South." Because the Supreme Court will probably pass upon many cases soon affecting the welfare of the race, thoughtful Colored people fear the pronounced pro-southern views of Mr. Taft are of disadvantage.

WHITE MINISTER WHO HAD BROTHERLY LOVED DIES AT LITTLE ROCK LITTLE ROCK Ark., July 6.—In the death of Dr. J. B. Lammberg, Baptist denomination has lost one of his most conspicuous figures, and the South one of her most valuable citizens. Dr. Gammrell was one great southern white man who arose above race prejudice, and had so much of his power in the church in him, but he considered all men as his brethren. He was a true friend to the Negro race, and during the time that he served as president of the Southern Baptist Convention, did all in his power to have that great organization to take hold of the hand of their weaker brother, and help him on his feet. Speaking on the race question last years ago, before he was asked as saying, "I would not strike a man under me." I shouldk a man, I would select a governor, and not a man who could not help himself." He was a great preacher, and teacher, and took pride in saying that he learned to preach by preaching to a Negro congregation in fact, he said that one of his first pastorates was a Negro church. They observed this country share with their white brethren In their grief that they feel in the loss of that great man for he truly was a Prince in Israel.

It is also the first time this season that the home team has suffered two straight fours. Air-tight pitching by Drake, though he allowed seven hits, well scattered and of the scratch variety, and the bumbling at good speed hits caused the defeat of the Stars. Only once did the local team threaten, when in the fifth, when two bumps and an error filled the bases with no out.
