Applicants Who Pass Aimless. Here We Be Appointed Pro- scription. St. Louisians are very soon to have Negro Uniforms: Police recording to present plans of the Police Board.

Last Monday these men were called for an inspection by the Police Board who "looked them over" to determine their general appearance. This was the first examination. All those who looked like they might make a police and mental test. Tuesday for a physical examination. All of those who stand the physical test will be called for the mental-test Saturday, August 6th.

We Don't Need Such An Organization In State Of California. Los Angeles Times White Los Angeles is now the seventh industrial city in the United States and is growing faster than any of the others, our city has always been from blood anemones and race riots. Every erased, color and nationality has been content to live within the law, and the result is a feeling of amity that cannot be implicated in any other great American municipality. Such is the condition under which our community has grown and prospered; and the Times notes with regret what appears to us to be the sowing of seed that may ripen into a violent harvest. We refer to the organization of Nerges as the "Klan" and we understand that the Klan is now an incorporated secret organization. We have not seen a copy of its constitution and can only refer, to it by common republic. But we do know that the term Kluix is associated with mots formed for the purpose of terrorizing colored districts and visiting summary punishment on Negros for alleged crimes. The Klan has great stress upon the patriotism of the order, the claim that it is above all American and that its chief purpose is to defend the Constitution and the constitutional rights of American citizens. In the same breath it advertises itself as the "invisible emblem" bound together by secret outlaws and pledges to an end that there is no supper for them there is no for an emblem, whether visible or invisible. Patriotism of the secret and outbound sort is at least open to question. Why the secrecy and why the oath? Are they essential to patriotism? Further, the Constitution guarantees to every citizen equal rights, among them the right of Negros as citizens. The attitude of the Klan has Negros suffrage is well known. How are these things reconciled? Los Angeles has now a greater colored population than any other Pacific Coast city; but our court records show that our colored citizens are, as a rule, close observers of the written law. They have not made themselves obonious to other races and the sections of the city in which they reside are neither illuminated of them nor their own homes. One district has elected a colored Representative for two successive terms to the State Legislature and he has filled the position with credit to his people and to the State. That outrages may have been committed by colored people in other States is not justification for the imposition of racial discrimination here. We are fully aware that many of the colored people in our county have reported that many of the city's own citizens were white secondary citizens in the home alone. ST.

HARDING'S BARRETT REPLIES SOUTHERN POLICY TO ARGUS EDITOR TOWARD NEGROES Cites His Record, During 6 Months As To Spirit And Courage. Ready To Act In Bowling Green Affair If One Witness Can Be Found. Denounces Lynching As A Disgrace To Civilization In the issue of the Argus of Joly 28 in under the heading "Was It a Bluff, Attorney General," the Argus made a comparison between the actions of Attorney General Barrett in the case of Motor of Mote of Plaintiff who was allowed to lynch Ralph Hammond respectively and that of Sheriff William of St. Louis County who has been charged with neglect of duty in connection with prohibition enforcement. We below publish a letter from Mr. Barrett which he offers in the defense of his office in death both cases, follows. I have a marked copy of your paper of yesterday with the editorial on the action of this Department in Pike County and in St. Louis County. This is the first time during my six months of office that either a Republican or a Democratic paper has questioned the legitimacy of this Department and I am glad to reply at once. I think you are wrong, but I forgive you, for I can fully realize how heavily the Pike County tragedy lies on the hearts of all the colored people of this State. "The Pike County lynching was a disgrace to civilization. It should not have been condoned or tolerated by any citizen. Above Miller, with instructions to make a thorough investigation and to obtain indictments against all guilty parties. Through his efforts every citizen at Rowling Green who knew anything about the crime was called before the grand jury. Every one of them denied any knowledge of the affair. Miller gave a statement to the papers which expressed it better than he had been committed, first, the indefensible crime of lynching, and second, the indefensible crime of perjury to conceal the lynching." We worked for several weeks thereafter trying to get evidence. We talked with numerous Negro leaders. We investigated in several quiet ways. There was not one man in the city of Rowling Group lynching. I will tell what I know in order that the law may be implicated and justice done. In St. Louis County the situation was exactly the opposite. Three men notified us they were willing to die infiltrators. Of course, we would not take any action without a witness. Give us, just one witness in Pike County and we will be brief about the brief talk about the Pike County matter as you are. It was an outrage upon justice. It was an assault upon law and order, but by that very sanity of law and order it is necessary in every prosecution that men can be convicted or removed from office only upon legal evidence properly produced. When all possible witnesses swear they know nothing about the facts the authorities are helpless, they know that they can then make the legal proof necessary in Pike County, by all means, help us get it. Maybe some day a witness will be willing to talk. God grant that it may be, for I am just as anxious as you are that that crime be punished and that it shall be made clear that the protection of Missouri's laws applies equally to all citizens, no matter what their color or condition. My heart is in this just wish. With best wishes for the Argus and yourself. My dear Mr. Alexander, I have just finished your editorial on Barrett and the Bowling Green affair and I must say you speak my view. Your editorial pages becoming more and more intrusive, I cannot restitution. MICHIGAN GOVERNOR REFUSES TO RETURN NEGRO TO GEORGIA LANKING. Mich. Aug. 2.—Gov. Alex J. Groebke last night had refused to permit extradition to Georgia of Thomas Ray, a Negro wanted in the Southern State, on a charge of murder. Attorneys for Ray, the Governor announced, had produced evidence indicating that return of the Negro in Georgia might endanger his life and that he might not receive a trial, while Georgia authorizes the Governor said he failed to produce evidence that they had a case against Ray. 12 PAGES Taft's Lily-whiteism Advice Believed To Be Accepted By President As Best To Persue. Considered "Slap" At Negroes Loyalty To Party WASHINGTON, D. C., July 30. There can no longer be any doubt of the Harding policy toward colored Americans. He has announced the policy voluntarily, Mr. Architudel H. Grinke, Mr. Charles Cottrell, Mr. Shelby J. Davidson and Mr. J. A. Cobb顶 over to the White House Monday, July 16 to invite and urge President to use to let colored people know what might be expected from the present administration. Mr. Harding indicated that he, if not able to be present in person, would have representation of the NAACP. Then without warning he made the following statement that caused the National Association gentlemen to look askance at each other and fall out backward. Eaid Mr. Harding: "Gentlemen, I am very thoroughly convinced in my mind as to the policy that I am going to integrate with reference to appointments, and that I am not going to be a black officer in the Southern States, but there will be some appointments in the Northern States. This thing called 'Race Prejudice' you cannot down by battling it, and the only salutation, as I see it, for the colored man in the South, is to 'Fall in the ranks behind the white leadership until he can, acting through Southern institutions, be a black officer in the policy, and I am going to follow it, live or die, sink or swim." By this announcement President Harding has made, Mr. Taft's lily-white policy seem but a prologue to his own attitude. "It appears that he feels that he can afford, as a result of the last election to treat loyal and abiding citizens of the South other than as full-fledged American regardless of the path that character or attitude the community. It seems to colored voters that Mr. Harding has forgotten his campaign announcement. His statements then were so rich and eloquent as to make the wisest of old-time politicians believe that the colored people had found at last their political salvation, immediately upon coming into office, however, he has made known to colored people a different attitude. Instead, he must believe that the mouth hold the colored vote in the North by handing out a few plums at the physiological moment, and enforce their lily white policy at the same time. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, it is thought, will carry the political fight [into the North, in the endeavor to show the Northern colored voters that if the lily-white policy is sure in the next of its denials, differently imputed as dualistic notaries of the National Association, President Harding has set a dangerous president by leading the weight of his Presidential sanction to the lily-white policy of political domination - Washington Eagle.

SENATE AS XTRA SESSION CLOSES Senator Anderson Of Saint Louis Failed To Call Up For Consideration During Closing Hours. The extra session of the Fifty-first General Assembly of the Missouri Legislature closed early Sunday morning July 31st after a heated debate during the closing hours. The Anti-lynching Bill. The people of the State will want to know what became of our anti-lynching bill which was favorably reported to the House and Senate by committees on Criminal Jurisdiction. The House Bill which was introduced by Waltham M. Moore, was left on the informal calendar of the house, after the bill had been amended so as to make it non-effective by the enemies of the bill. In the mean while a similar bill was introduced in the Senate by Senator Anderson of St. Louis. The Senate being a smaller body, it was thought body in time for it to go back to the House as a "Senate Bill" and as such, would have little, or no trouble, the second time. In keeping with his promise, Senator Bidgett of St. Louis had a public hearing on the bill before the Senate Committee on Criminal Jurisdiction of which he was chairman. This Committee made a favorable report on the bill, but Mr. Anderson who was the chairman bill for consideration. Thus the anti-lynching bill "died" in the Senate for lack of some one to call it up for consideration. Mr. Moore Worked Hard. W. Huthall M. Moore who was the author of the anti-lynching bill worked hard for its passage. He defended the bill before the House with great eloquence and ability. But there seemed to have been an organized movement to defeat the bill. It is proper to state here that Representative Davison of S. Louis supported the bill wholeheartedly and made a strong plea to his colleagues for their help. In-Both Platforms. The Platform Committee of both the Republican and Democrat parties pledged their support of such legislation. Inasmuch as both branches were Republicans, it is now an open secret that the Republicans did not keep faith with their pledges. STATE SUPREME COURT REVERSES CASE AGAINST DOCTOR R.E. JOHNSON STATE SUPREME COURT REVERSES CASE AGAINST DOCTOR R.E. JOHNSON Judge Conway Elder Of St. Louis Renders Decision Favoring Physician Arrested Of Criminal Operation JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., July 20. The Supreme Court reversed outright, the case against Dr. H. E. Jones, collar barbed wire prosecution on a young lady who died some days after the operation is alleged to have been performed. The charge was filed against Dr. Johnson before the State Board of Health. He was found guilty and his case was dismissed by the attorney. Sam Haley, appealed to Circuit court here and Judge State uphold the finding of the board. An appeal was then taken by the Supreme court. The court held that the evidence to which Attorney Haley objected, on the basis of the evidence to which it was not admissible. The girl is alleged to have made a statement to a local physician shortly after the operation is alleged to have been performed. It was not a dying statement. Attorney Haley held and therefore objected to its introduction in evidence. Of attention among the people at Jefferson City because the girl in the case was white and it is charged that Hage prejudice found its way into the case in the early stages. Supreme Judge Conway Elder handed down the decision which retracted the conclusion in the court court and was concurred in by other judges of the bench. While it is true that Judge Bider is the youngest member on the bench, he has; during his brief term of office rendered the State a deal of valuable service.

NO BODY BARRED. WATER ACT ON EXCITING FEATURE ON THE PROGRAM AT BOOKER WASHINGTON An aquatic novelty features an unusually entertaining vaudeville bill at the Booker Washington theatre this week. The act is performed in a glass tank filled with water, and done by a man and woman, the Swans, a clever performing Water Lion, and a reluctant Brazilian Crocodile. The woman feeds and plays with the lion under water. The man does gymnastics, beneath the surface and also performs with the animal. Periods of considerable time are spent in the water without taking air. The woman and man play ball and eat a banana while under. The net closes with a wrestling match between the man and the crocodile because of the light and one half foot sea animal to get in the fray. The act is full of excitement. Bell and Bell are the certain raisers. They have a lively act of song and dancing with a few revamped jokes woven in a spindle in which the woman does the tongue lashing. The Dixie Cox Trio of females open in a whirlwind of singing and frolic. The act is replete with artistic dancing and funnelful melodies. One of the trio gets the prize opener after singing "The Would Always Get Some Blame" to which she adds some aerobic dancing. A novel and comical dance makes big Thomas and Watson another mixed team have a hilarious run in which results in a mess of rapid fire sarcasm won as usual by the woman's tongue. This member also scores a hit with a well sung semi-classic. A few jokes and narratives followed by an interpretation of the Blues by the man, sets the house wild. The act closes with a red hot song and dance. Good Bill Next Week Another high class vaudeville bill will be presented at the Booker Washington next week. The performers will be: Virginia Liston, creator of the "Titanic Blues"; Gray and Gray in a novel act; Cifford Ross, a long comedian; Miss "Stringbeans" (Sweetie May) and Bonnie Drew, Mrs. "Stringbeans" is a popular favorite with the Booker Washington theatrogrs. She will be remembered as the wife of the late Butler May who as "Stringbeans" was the most sentimental comedian on the vaudeville stage. PIANO CONTESTS START AT BOOKER WASHINGTON NEXT THURSDAY AUG.11 The Elimination Piano Contest for the championship of St. Louis will start at the Booker Washington Theatre Thursday, August 11. The same rules that governed the previous contests will be used. A magnificent gold medal will be awarded the winner. This will be on display in the Argus window in a few days. The contests will be every Thursday night. Charles Thompson the present champion, who has traveled all over the United States and captured the honors everywhere, has returned to St Louis to defend his title against all comers. Among those who will compete for the night, besides Mr. Thompson are Raymond W. Hymes, Robt, Ripper, Phillip Moore, Sonny Anderson, Heedy Leachatter, Elizie Jackson, Bob Ameslee James, Ritts, Arlander Graham, Chude Williams, Isaac Jefferson, Town Marshall, William Masse, Lory Sharke, Archie Jackson, Ralph Stevenson, Lawrence Moore, George Reynolds, Guy Moore, John Arnold, Walter Rowers, George Redd, Paul Sodric Nat Muse, Crasa Creat, George Goins, Robt McQuity, Clyde Gaskins, Montague Gallus and War Starke. The contests will be run between the regular shows each Thursday night and promises to attract city wide attention. BILLBOARD EDITOR HERE J. A. Jackson of New York, who is on the editorial staff of "The Billboard" a weekly theatrical digest and review of the show world, has been one of the visiting Shrinkers this week. The Billboard only recently turned its attention to the Negro interests in the show world and placed Jackson in charge. AT THE MOVIES Universal Week At The Star With Many Special Features. Next week will be "Universal Week" at the Star Theatre. The Program will open with "Regulation" on Saturday and Sunday. It is the story of Laura Figian, a wilful girl, who deserts her husband and child and later, under an assumed name, becomes the most-talked-of actress in Europe and of her child, raised in an orphan asylum, who inherits her mother's talent and beauty, plus sweetness of spirit and mobility of character. Fate makes the two ignorant of each other's identity, the leading figures in a drama of overwhelming intensity. "Sympathy for the forgotten child" is brought to high tension, and then a subtle change takes place. The daughter of the great Laura Figian comes out of obscurity and overnight stalks her mother's name and fame. Laura Figian, the idol of two contents, finds herself and dutaste, barred from the theatre; her wonderful reputation and identity stolen by her own child. On Monday, the feature will be "The Magnificent Brute". It is the story of an ultra-modern girl, who trifles with the affections of a primitive man; of his blind fury on discovering that he has been used as a nawn in her social game, and of what transpires when she discovers love, unravels a deep mystery and saves his life. Tuesday, Gladys Walton in "All Dilled Up". Wednesday, Edith Roberts in "The Unknown Wife" and Friday, Carmel Myers in "The Dangerous Monster" are other features. The special feature for Thursday will be Pauline Frederick a "Salary". It is a heart-gripping story of mother love with a wonderful appeal.

ALSO SECOND EPISODE OF The Thrilling Universal Serial "THE TERROR TRAIL" and Comedy Theatre next Thursday in a new feature "Through the Back Door." It is said to be quite different from anything Miss Pickford has yet attempted in that the story touches upon an angel of martial relations new to the screen. A wife brings the spectre of divorce into her home when she became a petplant, dissatisfied sort of person through grief for a child she believes dead. The problem of restoring happiness to this household falls to the lot of Miss Pickford in one of her imitable character roles. There are innumerable complications, some of them laughable, others quite tragic—all leading up to a denouncement logical and satisfying.

St. Louis' Leading Photo Play Theatre ed his fantastic the story is worked out along the lines of logic and under a powerful impetus of real passion. Two friends are inlove with a girl. One of them is found dead—murdered in his bed, the last of a sequence of victims of an unknown murderer. The victim was probed by Cellarini's slave, nomadulabat, and, suspicion attaches, to the pair, but the doctor has a successful alibi. Finally, however, his creature commits a crime and is seen escaping and a chase ensues, which leads to an insane nixium and a deposition unexpected—and unusual as can be found in American, short stories. stories, famous for their climaxes. On Sunday, Evan Novak in *Walves of the North* will be presented. It is the story of a beautiful woman's adventure in the frozen waters of Alaska where the passions of men know no laws. The Aurora Borealis figures, in the scenes. Tom Mx in "The Big Town Round-Up" will be featured at the Casino Theatre Sunday. It is a rapid rough-riding romance in which both ranch life and city life figure; in which Mx, the cowboy, falls in love with a society贝 following an accidental meeting; in which he battles fiercely at intervals with things seeking his life, and appears to acquire the habit of heddle rescue of maidens in peril. It is a case of thrill after thrill, of narrow escapes, of many dating and shrewd resourcefulness. This play shows Mix at his very best. But it also contains a vein of humor that is confiugious and serves as a relief from the high teepion which accompanies the development of the young ranch owner's adventures in the city. In pursuit of the romance born "back home." "The Last Of The Mohicans" At The Lincoln Sunday "The Last of the Medicins" comes to the Lincoln Theatre Sunday. It is a Maurice Tourneur feature filled with thrilling episodes. From the very start of the story, "Tongent, with his artistry carries his audience back to the days when America was young." Indian's crafty deceit starts cold chills -running up and down the spine. When a child is hurt he screams -the scream holds its breath with her, as she peers into the awe-gloom of the forest, looking for the sign of the red skin! The attack on the fort, the massacre, the blowing up of the powder magazines—everything—combines to make this feature one of the notable one in the career of the Union for the pacification facemind, and her regard for fidelism, and the way the story turns out, causes one to stop and think. Will Attend the Outing and Arrange Plans And Dates Of Contest To Be Started Soon. The arrangements for the Popular Club Content at Jazzland Palace and Garden will be completed next Wednesday where the presidents of the various clubs in the city will attend a luncheon at Jazzland and fix the dates for their entertainments. Invitations to the presidents to attend will be sent out at once.

The lodge packed and jammed every inch of available space, in spite of the fact that not less than three public affairs as innumerable private functions incident to the Shriners Convention were in progress. Incidentally the possibilities of the big garden, when fully availed of the community, was most adequately demonstrated. The Elia affair was a Rumble, given for the purpose of raising money to send a delegation to the annual convention, to be held this year only. It is said that the year only only led to a delay in sending the delegation there and back but it gave a headache behind the Elia strong box. The affair was notable in several wars. It was preceded by a grand firebombing bomb, by a tyranny house bomb and an ammunition bomb. The bomb was the result of a firebombing JEST-A-MERE THEATRE Finney:Whittier "Should A Woman Tell?"

"NEW YORK, Aug. 1.—The Bible says to a man "Take a wife," declared Jack Johnson before 100 Negroes in the Negro Baptist Tabernacle, 152th street and Madison avenue, at a rally yesterday afternoon: "It doesn't say take a black wife, a Chihuahua or anyone else. Why should the world hate me for marrying the woman I love? I am sure I have lived up to all the rules any loving husband would observe." "The afternoon service was held for the purpose of collecting money to meet a deficit due to the purchase of the church building by the Negro Baptists, who now own the tabernacle, and the former champions serving at the annual fee of $1 was charged."

Responsibility for its duty to the shoulders of the majority in both houses to the matter is, the leader such a law on the statute to them to explain in keeping with his special Session, but the speaker O'Fallon nor for many interest in the bill easily disappointed. We ask for an anti-lynching bill because of the mobs. The deed of a Republican Senate again in the house of his address to S.

The efforts on the part of a few public spirited citizens to make Missouri a safe place in which to live, failed during the extra session of the Fifty-first General Assembly of Missouri Legislature, because the party leaders failed to redeem their pledges. It will be remembered that both the Republican and the Democrat party leaders pledged their party support against lynching in their party platforms last fall. Responsibility For Defeat. The editor of the St. Louis Argus made several trips to Jefferson City prior to, and during the Special Session. We discussed the subject with many of the law-makers and party leaders. The general sentiment was that the Anti-Lynching Bill was for the sole benefit and a favor to the Negroes of the State. Few, if any seem to see it other than a racial measure. All of which was wrong. Tracing the Responsibility for its defeat further, it may be properly placed upon the shoulders of the Republicans who were in sufficient majority in both houses to pass any bill they so desired. The fact of the matter is, the leaders of the Republican party did not want such a law on the statute books at this time. The reason why, is up to them to explain tj the public. To-besure Governor Hyde, in keeping with his promise, recommended such legislation to the Special Session, but the leaders of the party failed. Neither Speaker O'Fallon nor President of the Senate, Hiram Lloyd showed any interest in the bill. Yes, we are sorely disappointed. We as a group were especially interested in the antilynching bill because it is we who suffer most at the hands of the mobs. The defeat of the bill by a Republican House and a Republican Senate makes us feel like the man who was "slain in the house of his friends."—See MAYOR KIEL'S ADDRESS TO SHRINERS. Those who heard Mayor Kiel deliver an address of Welcome to the Shriners at the Gayety Theatre a few days ago, say it was "pretty nice talk." We appreciated his address until he told his hearers that but for the loyalty of the Colored vote which had supported him for three times, he would not be Mayor of St. Louis at this time. We were thinking while he was talking, just how much it really meant to him to be Mayor of St. Louis at this time. We were also thinking (taking his own words for it), how much the Negroes of the city had done for Mayor Kiel, and just how little he has done for us. If the Colored people, by their vote has made him mayor, the least he could do for them is to give them one of his personal appointments. But the Mayor has not seen fit to do that. He thinks, to give a Negro one of his personal appointments would be doing too much for the Colored people of the city. If that is the case, then why in the name of peace and plenty doesn't he quit telling about what we have done for him? It would be better so far as we are concerned, if he never mentions our loyalty to him again until he makes up his mind to do something for us. Yes, his speech was pretty nice, but to the intelligent St. Louisiana, who have heard him before, his words were meaningless as long as he fails to keep his promise. The Mayor is truly ungrateful to the Colored people of the City. He has not made one personal appointment from among the race during his over eight years in office. So Mr. Mayor, your pretty nice speech falls on the ears of those who know you, as "sounding brass or tinkling symbol." The fellow who "boot-licks" to get a political job will be sure to booilick to keep it. Better not be a bootlicker at all, but be an upstanding man. Lifters, not drifters are the urgent needs of the race at this time. We cannot afford to become calloused, because of the frequent lynching of the Negroes in America. Keep up the protest, truth will get a hearing soon. Notwithstanding the fact, that the legislators failed to pass the anti-lynching bill, it is nevertheless a fact that some of the Colored people of the State failed to do one thing toward its success. It is really surprising to learn that some of us who do the loudest talking about "race loyalty" are the very ones who do the least to show it. Are you working to uplift the race or are you making all that noise trying to feather your own nest?

LOS ANGELES, Cal., Aug. 1.—The Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, a corporation, today brought suit for label against the Los Angeles Express Publishing Company, demanding a total of $105,000 + general and exemplary damages for the publication in three editions of the paper of an article or which appeared banner lines reading: "Great Ku Klux Outbreak," "Ku Klux Terrorizes South," and "Ku Klux Reign of Terror."

Senator. Associated Negro Press. PITTUSHRUG, Pa., August 3. It was Republican Senator Harr, of this city, who declared on the floor of the Pennsylvania Legislature, in a speech while the Civil Rights Bill was up, that the trouble with the Negroes of the state was, that they were being directed under false leadership. One of the leaders referred to, was Attorney Robert L. Yann, who is, also editor-in-chief of the Pittsburgh Courier and the Competitor magazine. The answer to this "false leadership" charge is the placing in nomination Republican organization of Attorney Judge for the position of County Judge. All of the Colored lawyers of the city were ballyoted on for the petition, and Yann won out with a good lead. A "Committee of One Hundred" has been formed, and they will push the candidacy of Attorney Vann for the primary Nomination in September. Under the new Pennsylvania election law, with the great plurality of Republicans in the district, a nomination at the primary is equivalent to an election, and there is every reason to believe that Vann will be nominated for he is a most aggressive public opponent, and has a large following in both districts. Also, serving in term of Assistant City Solicitor. The campaign is attracting nationwide attention.

A. A. C. P. WINS FIGHT FOR COLORED SOLDIERS The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, with offices at 70 Fifth Avenue, New York through its National Secretary, James Weldon Johnson, today announced the receipt of a letter from the Adjutant-General of the War Department of the reclamation of a letter in connection with the dishonorable discharge of Arthur K. Bird, a colored soldier of Company L, 55th Infantry. According to Mr. Johnson's statement, Arthur K. Bird, on February 14, 1915, was sent to a cutting organ at Providence, R. L. recollected in the army after having been honorably discharged recently from the 15th Depot Brigade, a colored organization. Mr. Bird called the attention of a clerk that he had been erroneously listed as a white man. The clerk changed his designation under the heading "race" to "colored." Mr. Bird is of such fair complexion as to be easily mistaken for a white man. In spite of this correction, Mr. Bird was sent to the 55th Infantry at Camp Lewis, Washington. Upon arrival at the Camp, he found himself in a white organization and again notified his Commanding Officer that he was not a white man. He was thereupon assigned to special duty. Later, Mr. Bird was dishonorably discharged, the reason being assigned as "frudent enlistment." In April, this case was referred to the National Office of the National Association for the 'Advancement of Colored People' after Mr. Bird had been unable to secure a correction of the error. The National Office took optine matter immediately with the War Department, demanding that those responsible for the injustice be to Mr. Bird, and the investigation proved him to be right in his contention. A letter dated July 25th, from P. C. Harris, Adjunct General, states that: "After an investigation of these circumstances connected with the collusion of the soldier, it has been determined that he was exonerously discharged on the date and at the place mentioned. Upon request, Mr. Bird had, forwarded his discharge certificate to the office, which certificate has been cancelled, and in lieu thereof, a certificate showing that he is qualified to be regarded as having been honorably discharged the military service has been prepared and forwarded this day to him." Mayor Of Liberia Gets Past Immigration Bar Associated Negro Press WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 3 Secretary Davis admitted the Mayor of Monrovia, Liberia, into the United States this month in spite of the fact that during July only one-half of one person may enter from that country under the percentage immigration restriction law. Only 3 per cent of the number of months of any country already here, in the United States, has 20 per cent of that number in any one month. In the case of Liberia, statisticians of the immigration service said this 20 per cent amounted to half a person, and Commissioner General Husband recommended to Secretary Davis that, no provision being made for such anatomical fractions, the entire Mayor may be admitted. Just because charity begins at home is no good reason why you should lock it in the cellar and then hide the key. Don't ask for money unless you have made it a practice to give money. The Elroy Manufacturing Company, maker of Caskets and Coffins, which was organized several years ago is the third and at 400 South Jefferson Avenue. This company was established by our people for the sole object of making coffins and caskets and selling direct to the undertakers or trade, yet very much to the surprise of every good thinking colored man and woman the Colored Undertakers of St. Louis and East St. Louis do not support this institution; yet they preach race loyalty, but fail to act in this case. But the sad part is they are not truthful. I lost one of my family and several of the undertakers came to my house and offered to take charge of the funeral, but we told them that we were going to get the undertaker that bought his goods from the Elrroy. Then he said, "Why I want to be Elrroy." asked Elrroy. But I told him he secured the People's Burial League, because they use all of their caskets and coffins fro mute colored factory. Not because they hate the other man, but they want to help our people and the race. So I went to the factory as I am a share-holder together with 300 of race lovers, who have invested their money in order to help build a great factory and to give labor to our boys and girls and to my surprise I found that of the eleventh undertakers in St. Louis and East St. Louis that that man owned only one of the Burial League of St. Louis and J. L. Marshall of East St. Louis are the only ones at present who buy their goods from the colored factory. The undertaker said that they could not sell the goods, but the People's Burial League and J. L. Marshall said they never have any objection and the colored people are delighted to be carried to a factory owned and controlled by our race, which gives employment to quite a number of our children. So dear undertaker, do not buy your goods, the Elroy do not buy your goods, the industry, as well as a race institution do not tell a false and try to fool our people, by saying that you buy your goods from the factory, when in fact I find with only one or two exceptions that not a city undertaker has been in the place for nearly a year or more and some of them have never been inside the factory, yet they are Race-Lovers and great leaders. Now, I want to say to the public and citizens at large if the colored man has been East St. Louis had just given the factory one-third of their trade, our good friend and co-worker, Mr. J. W. Chambers would not have forced to plan the League in order to save the money invested in the Elroy Casket and Coffin Company by our poor, hard working men, women and children and furthermore to hold the confidence of our people. Because every man can plainly see, that if the undertakers would have to work on the standard, everybody could have lived and race pride and race confidence would have been restored. Some of the undertakers made a complaint to the Prosecuting Attorney of St. Louis and our men were put in jail, because they were trying to save this race institution. But by the help of the good white and colored people and the guide and protection of our Heavenly Father, who is in the side of (fight) the legality of the race uphold and the judge and lawyers said it was the best thing ever organized for the people. So I must ask in conclusion to not criticise the People's Burial League, but you must acknowledge that it was formal to help sell the goods made by our people as the colored undertakers of St. Louis and East St. Louis said that they could not sell them. I am Yonra for success of the Rase, Elder, Burton, Short. LOUISVILLE, Ky., Aug. 3—Federal Hill, the old southern mansion near Bartlettown, where Stephen C. Foster wrote the song "My Old, Kentucky Home," is now to all intents and purposes the property of the state of Kentucky. The State commission which recently appealed "to Kentuckyians at home and abroad" for funds with which to purchase the property which covers the purchase price of $50,000, but according to the commission, does not provide sufficient funds for its restoration.

Y., July 27. - It is evident in most of the markets that the country is not yet in position to withstand the upsets of business which the autumn months will bring. This is not unusual. The approach to midsummer in years to come distracts elocated industry and trade than in the present, is nearly always marked by a waiting attitude on the part of merchants and manufacturers. The plan for interchange interests are shaped by contemplation of the crops and until the entire harvest is nearly in hand,耕 in August, it is presumed to determine how extensive will the producing powers of hay, corn, maize and cotton be organized and then. This arrangement has the fact of business premises that must be protected of above all trouble, people, but in all situations with internal obstacles in planning. The Associated Negro Press. NEW YORK CITY, July 27.—New York, with her teeming millions, is always interesting, and fascinating. There is something invigorating in the rastness of the atmosphere of activity. It is a place where individual personalities are largely swallowed up in the whole, and yet there is something epopolita that puts "pop" into the ambition. One "hilling" frm. Chicago, may easily fall into the whirl of New York life, but he has certain liabilities of which to beware. In this city they don't briskly as out in the "Windy City." There is more indifference to the individual power here is in the mass. It will take more than one story to tell about New York. In this story, he took at one phase of the politicalival, and the other of the political always as uncerious quantity. It has furnished many surprises for it itself, and the nation. But in the matter of Mayors, New York generally and regularly goes Democratic. The present mayor of New York is the Hon. John F. Hylan. He is closing his first term, and will be a candidate for re-election. How do the Colored people of New York feel about the present administration? That's a good question. The fact that the Republican "Administration at Washington has been playing the "Hostiliation Blues" in regards to official recognition of the "brother in bronze", it is indeed very interesting to know what a Democratic mayor is doing in the nation's greatest city. Talk with the "ray and file" or talk with the "leaders" and they will all tell you that Mayor Hylan is functioning—he is giving a square deal to his Colored constituents. He is actually proving to be a "Mayor of people by people" and for the people. He is giving a Harlem section, where the majority live into a "Co-Operative Alliance," as it were. The Mayer's great interest in the famous Fifteenth New York regiment is well known. He has honored it in every way that a public official could honor a military organization, and he has capped the climax by seeing that the regiment will have an Armory that will cost a million dollars when completed, most of the money now being appropriated: "There is a transformation going on in the Harlem hospital, which will go be under control of Colored Physicians and Surgeons: "X Community House, Playgrounds, Bath House, patrolmen by the score, and hundreds of Colored people in various departments of the city, is the score that the Hylan Administrators will for the Colored people of New York. Alderman Harris and Roberts, also Republicans, have not been opposed by the Administration in matters affecting the welfare of the people. This is an outstanding illustration of Practical politics, with capital Pa. It is the kind of politics that is bound to tell in the offing. But the Mayor of New York has not stopped here. He puts his official opposition' in no uncertain terms, to the resival of the nefarious Ku Klux Klan in New York. He let it be known that any attempt to revive that organization here would meet with restrike. Just this week the Mayor gave his official endorsement to the great drive of the Urban League for new members in this city. In a lotter that is pregnant with patriotic sentiments. Take this story for what it is worth. There ought to be some simply lessons in it for somebody. The Preachers Who Do Not Study Sermons Associated Norro Press. NEW YORK, N. I., July 27—Preschneers who derive more pleasure and enjoyment from their sermons than do their congregations were discussed last Sunday by the Rev. Dr. Shane Coffin, pastor of the Madison Mission church, at the second session of the Missionmer Conference for Ministers is the Tuition. Theological Seminary. Dr. Coffin said that "the great curse of the country today is uniforming preschneers and he proposed remembrance for ministers who teach congregations nothing. "People are staying away from church because they learn nothing," he said. "They hear things that they already know. Many congregations are not going to church. They forehand what the minister is going to say." "With the same minister and the same congregations forty Sundays in the year it is necessary for the minister to be informing and interesting. Many ministers and many pastors munch from hand to mouth and do not know on Monday what they are going to say the following Sunday. The weakest point is that preachers do not go deep enough. The main function of the pulpit is to teach facts. Some sermons are predigested food." The St. Louis Argus Reports from the large industrial centers show an increase in unemployment for Negroes during the first half of July. Of the 11,100 men and women unemployed in Detroit 22,000 are Negroes. The seriousness of the situation there among Negroes has been relieved to a large extent because many have returned south while others have gone west in search of jobs according to Miss P. Cashin Cox Industrial Secretary of the Urban League, who has just returned from Detroit. It is now estimated that the number of Negroes unemployed in St. Louis is between 7,000 and 9,000. The increase in unemployment in the past month has been due to the closing of the several large plants which used most of the labor of people. The efforts of the Louis Urban League to induce the farmers of the wheat district, embracing Kansas, Nebraska, and Oldham, were fruitless, preference having been given to the unemployed, whites. In an effort to push back the wave of unemployment here the Lengues sent special delivery letters to the largest white churches in St. Louis last Sunday asking that jobs be given to four very worthy colored men. Four of the ministers replied that special attention was given the requests, but not a single job could be secured. Reports this week from the Detroit, Cleveland, Chicago and New York-Urban Lengues show that the Negro is seriously feeling the pangs of the present situation. It is a common occurrence to see a man who has been jobless from three to six months. Industrial Exhibits For Negro Business League Not Reaching The Mark Associated Negro Press ATLANTA, Ga., July 27.—What is the matter with the National Negro Business League? That is the question that is being asked by a number of people in various parts of the country. Some months ago the local Business League began in earnest to prepare for the annual meeting. A strong organization was effected, and there is at some point in history the local branch who is helping make matters for the coming annual session. The local League announced that it would give a great Industrial Exhibit during the session, to show the progress of the race in business. There have been some responses, and there will be an exhibition, but it will be nothing like what was at the first contemplated. Where is the trouble? The trouble seems to be in the official make-up of the national body. There seems to be friction between leading officials of the each of whom have their ideas and ideals concerning the promotion of the work of the League. Very recently there are a meeting held in Philadelphia, attended by Dr. R. I. Motton, President of the League, and others, seeking to find some way out of the difficulty. Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Secretary of the League, was not at this meeting, and it not known whether he was expected. Several suggestions were advanced for the purpose of rehabilitating the League, and in certain that the forthcoming meeting with a great deal more thought was needed Philadelphia meeting, when the matter of officers was a 'detailed question up to an hour before the report of the mounting Committee. Ever since the establishment of the League, it has been the custom of Dr. Scott to send out publicity for the meeting to the newspapers, weeks in advance. This year there has been very little publicity going to the newspapers from the Washington headquarter. There are hundreds of business men throughout the country who are anxious to see a thriving national organization, who are of the opinion that factious troubles should not be permitted to hamper the growth of the League work. Attorney Perry W. Howard, Special Assistant Attorney General has sent out a notice to all lawyers of the League to them to be the meeting of the Bar" Association which meets here simultaneously with the League. According to information received here, there will be an unusual attendance of lawyers at the Association, of which Mr. Howard is President. MOBS AT WORK ON JAPANESE LABORERS OUT IN CALIFORNIA Associated Negro Press TURLOCK, Calif. July 27.—A general exodus of Japanese laborers and their families from this district is taking place following the deportation to eyes, five miles north, or 50 Japanese male workers by members of a union of fruit and melon pickers, the authorities announced. The union of Japanese laborers in the territories. Japanese here who witnessed the enforced departure of their country complained to the police that they were roughly handled and in some instances were robbed. Japanese police holders were not disturbed. The authorities said the members of the stock which numbered about seventy five, threatened to burn the Japanese hotel and two Japanese businesses in order to hasten the deportation of their occupants. ST. LOUIS, MO., FRIDAY, AUG. 5, 1921 NEGROES DO NOT CONDONE CRIME (By Sandy Simmons) This is one of the greatest charges that the white man has to be against the Negro Race. On course it is not true, but evidence is made out of it and taken as a basis for arguments in favor of the African crime of frightening, that is a peculiar institution of America; and confined almost exclusively to the Southern part. One of the greatest friends of the Negroes: A man who showed his friendship in a tangible way: who stood by the Race in the face of bitter storm and opposition; yet, this same friend made the mistake of accusing the Negroes of shielding their culinary from flesh. A man who most emphatically that it is not true Negro, as a general thing, is more inclined to betray his own to the white man than the white man is to betray his own to Justice. Those of us who are class students of the Negro, know that there are those among us who are traitors to the Race. Sometimes, in order to satisfy pretty site, they deounce members of the Race; and when the evidence is sifted, there is found nothing, in it but a desire for revenge. Sometimes, even they deceive their own for some imaginary crime done to some white person; thinking that certainly the obnoxious person would be gotten out of the way. But like the other case, nothing comes out of it. Have you seen the availble with which some Negroes testify against another in courts of law? A desire to get rid of some enemy. The white man says that because of the fact that Negroes shield their criminals, they are compelled to lynch a number in order to get the right one. Do they always get the right one? Not according to newspaper facts. Sometimes when an innocent person is lynched for a crime the papers are silent and the subject and the matter is hushed up so that the world might not know of the blunder the colibri murderers made. If we ask to make the comparison we would ask any crimes have been committed by the person who never been punished, because of the fact that the criminals could not be found? Some crimes committed by men of the other side have been fastened on innocent Negroes; and some have been lynched, some executed, legally, and still some are now serving prison sentences. Just a few weeks ago, a white boy killed two little white boys. He claimed that a Negro shot at him; creating the impression that the Negro committed the crime. Grant for argument that some criminals are shielded by Negroes. Where we look the matter through calmly, we see temples to justify the nack. How many white people are shielded by their own? Negroes know that where a Negro criminal, is arrested; especially for a crime against a white person, from rape to "talking back" to a white man in the South he gets no semblance of Justice; he is taken out and his life saunted out; The tendency is to give the criminal a chance to escape; just as the white man gives his criminal a chance to escape; though he knows full well his white skin and money for him full justice. That his Negro is not guilty of any such charge. He does not condone crime among his people; but he does not feel that he is capped upon to deliver one of his own to be burnt at the stake, or is shot full of holes. MAY USE NATION'S SAVINGS DEPOSITS TO BUILD HOMES By Associated Negro Press WASHINGTON, D. C., July 27. Plans for relieving the estimated shortage of 1,500,000 homes through the country then the diversion of a great proportion of the nation's $2,000,000,000 in savings deposits into home buildings are under consideration by Secretary Hoover. The Secretary of Commerce considers that there has been a tendency during the past few years for the savings of the people to find their way into commercial paper, bonds and similar securities rather than into home building while a critical housing situation has developed, with about 117 families for each 100 homes. The chief reliance of the country in the necessary financing of home building, in the opinion of Mr. Hoover, must be the savings institutions. With a total of $228,000,000 available from these sources, he believes it will be found after eliminating the building and loan societies and actual savings banks, who devote about 50 per cent of their deposits to home departments of national banks, state banks, companies and insurance companies, compiling more than one-half of the total, probably do not loan more than 10 or 15 per cent of their savings assets to housing.

WASHINGTON PARK A MODERN BURIAL PARK OR GARDEN CEMETERY WITH PERPETUAL CARE Foreground, Entrance, Chapel and Keeper's Lodge, Washington Park, Cameterp THE GROVE IN WASHINGTON PARK AND ITS USE. In response to many urgent requests that we provide a place for outdoor recreation and fully realizing the need of a suitable place, away from noise and clatter and dust, in fresh, free country environments, easily accessible, yet far enough off the beaten path to insure privacy and seclusion; in which churches, lodges and fraternities may have their outings, the founders of Washington Park have set aside a beautiful natural grove consisting of 20 acres, all shaded by majestic forest trees and carpeted with blue grass. Washington Park contains 75 acres. The grove is in the northern portion, sufficiently distant, so as not to disturb or in any way to conflict with the peaceful quiet and sacredness of the burial grounds. The Grove is open daily and no charge is made for its use. A shelter house is in course of construction, and benches, tables, stands and swings have been installed. Family parties and small gatherings may come at any time without notice. Church, Lodges and Fraternities during the use of the grounds should make arrangements with the Superintendent on the grounds or at the down town office. Phones, office Olive 7828 or Central 1195; Grounds, Cabany 1838. Directives:—Take any street car to Walkman, and then take Kirkwood-Pershing car to Carsonville. On Sundays after 1 o'clock automobiles must all come from this area in the park. After midnight the designated National Park Road is closed. POLITICAL AFFAIRS AT WASHINGTON, D. C. WASHINGTON, D. G., July 27—President Harding has made a great discovery. He has discovered that a Republican Administration cannot build up a strong, going sympathetic, functioning organization by the use of leftover Democrats. "The house divided against itself cannot stand." Therefore, he has been laying aside the attitude of good fellowship, and has been recently letting the heads of all departments know that all persons not actually in sympathy with the pigs, programs and policy of the Administration must "scat." ("Insequently, there are going to be some people soon fashioned Republican citizens soon coming in in the revolving chair at the U. N. Treasury desks, directing the Treasury department as a sympathetic vein, and in a manner that will help the Administration to get somewhere. The announcement by the Associated Negro Press that there are some Republican Senators who are not in sympathy with the Administration program of giving a "square deal" to the broasted constituency, has caused constimation in many quarters here. Now there are many Senators who need help of standing up and being counted, outstanding records, and devotion to rights, speak for themselves. But it is for the purpose of smoking the other kind out, those who receive Negro votes, and yet who fail to grasp the idea of equal and exact justice, that it is highly important to know about. Some of them are candidates for reelection next year, 1922, others will follow in 1924. It is known that some Republican Senators have been to the polls and urged him not only to "go slow" in taking appointments of "Colored citizens" but have urged him most to appoint anyone to a first class place. It is an open secret that Colored citizens are not in the frame of mind to be placed with in such a manner. It is a question of getting tiny value received, if not full value and therefore, those people are making marks beside the names of all those who "come up jame." ARMY OFFICER WHO SHOT NEGRO, FREED BY COURT-MARTIAL Associated Negro Press. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 27—The trial of the army officer, James E. Shelley, for the shooting of Richard Christmas, a Colored hostler employed in the government quartermaster stables, in this city, ended in an order that the trial which was ordered to try the case. The trial lasted only three days beginning on Monday, July 18, and ending Wednesday, July 20. At the end of the last session of the trial the court-martial adjourned and in less than thirty minutes the verdict freeing Shelley was rendered, which decision was said to be the specimen reached by a military tribunal in the history of the district of Columbia. Much interest has been exhibited in the trial of this case because of its being brought before a military tribunal instead of a civil tribunal. LAPSED WAR RISK INSURANCE CAN BE REINSTATED NOW Pilgrim Bapt. Temple Ready For Conventions The Associated Negro Press CHICAGO, July 27—Dr. S. E. J. Watson chairman of the Evangelistic Board of the National Baptist Convention, has just completed arrangements of the Board in the magnificent magnificent temple, Indiana Avenue and 33rd street, which he is pastor. This meeting will be held during the week immediately preceding the big convention. In this same auditorium the Equal Rights League will hold its convention during the week immediately following the close of the Baptists' meeting in the Pilgrim Temple auditorium, opening on the tenth of September.

WHY I CRITICISE THE FAMILY As I happened to be a witness, to this, please allow me to mention the columns of your paper a very sad affair which occurred at a funeral at the colored Baptist Church in Poplar Bluff, Sunday. It seemed an if the preacher had a grievance against some member of the family for not giving the funeral to a certain undertaker suggested by him (the preacher.) When the time came to preach the funeral instead of doing so, the preacher spent most of his time in letting the family know just how he felt, which really took bad. Those who heard the attack on the family were very much disappointed with the preacher, and it made all feel very bad in the conclusion—A friend of the family. Our Sunday School was well attended and the interest was greater than usual. Several visitors present and took part in the study of the leash. Despite the downs of rain, the services at 11 a.m. was very well attended. The pastor presented another good lesson from Meath 7/1, subject: "The comforts derived from a country heart." Text: "My God will have me." To me the beat it was a much more lively one. At 8 a.m. the guest and with its comforting note of warmth, it was a delightful experience.

George is leader of Great Britain and the master mind in international politics of today, and just as he shamed us when we had to compare him-with our own president at the Versailles Peace Conference, so now does he shame us when we compare his words on the question of the Japanese with those of our two-cent politicians from Mississippi and California. Lloyd George says that Japan has been a "fatalally" alliance, the alliance has "stood the test of time" and that in the Far East "Japan has special interests." He gives these irresistible reasons for renewing the alliance between his country and Japan, and then goes on with horse-sense; "No greater calamity could overtake the world than a further accentuation of the world's divisions upon the lines of race. ****Our foreign policy can hardly itself in any sense upon differences of race and civilization between East and West. It would be fatal to the empire." grace words do not really need any comment; they are plain and complete. George knows that, with the greater part of the world, and especially the greater part of the British Empire Colored, it would be foolish to start any war along a color line. This whites might get by now, with their superior organization, but a change would come with time. And besides, George knows, other things, that Japan is more useful to Britain than is California—More even than the United States of America. This is today much more danger of rivalry, warfare between the United States and Britain than between Britain and Japan. We do not bear of any anti-British demonstrations in Nippon. The British men Americans are too much alike in their commercial ambitions to live in the same house in eternal peace. And, notice: George did not talk until he got ready to act on this treaty matter. The "title 'premiers' from other parties" the empire did all the talking before him. Hughes of Australia and his colleague from Canada did all the shouting about "white man's world", etc.—till they got to London and faced George. But just think of what could have happened if George were a fool! The great color war which Mississippi and Australia are ever trying to bring upon us, might have been hastened for a by a generation. And a color wash to make the earth a shamble from which the Sun would wish to hid his face. Lloyd George's pronouncement is one of the most important utterances of modern times, and yet he will no longer be regarded as a "good white man" by John. Sharp Williams of Mississippi. OPPORTUNITY—JUDGE CARX AND LABOR "Opportunity" is a fascinating term in American life. The use of it once attracts attention. All of us like to be told of the secret mysteries of his power and possibilities. So, when he says, "I will judge Elbert H. Gary, who represents the business interests, and is himself the ing example of the full meaning of the word, when such a person speaks, the world listens. Added significance is given to the expression when, in the midst of what is said for use in America, the life, the speaker throws in a institution of opinions on the subject of labor, on what he is an unquestioned authority, equal to that of the subject of Capital. The recent address of Judge Gary at Syracuse University is an unquestioned classic, under the general subtitle of "Opportunity." I am sure that many of you saw excerpts of it in the American might read that every American might read of it. In fact, for the beauty of its word and simple language, it might well be in the literary course of the schools and colleges, along with Irving, Emerson art Holmes, to say nothing of the fine informative and inspirational museums. It is manifestly impossible to quote at length in an art of this kind, but I must give two or three quotations. Listen to this: "There is an expression, too frequently used, that the world owes each individual a living, and occasionally it is foolishly sought to support the claim by cliting the acknowledged principal that all men are created free of equal. But every fundamental law of conduct relating to this subject means, more and more—no less than the right of protection and opportunity. Every person constantly recognizes this fact and accordingly is of service and benefit to himself or herself and all others; and everyone who disputes and disregards it antagonizes and attacks the general community, including himself or herself, and is an obstruction to civil progress." A Brit. brief inter on is this: "The desire of opportunity for legitimate advancement is opened to both digital and label, both should be grateful for the both should be neither should be permitted to abuse it." And this final quotation: "Equality of opportunity is the key note to national and individual success and contentment. This idea I believe is the avowed doctrine of our present Administration, from the President throughout the whole governmental structure and will be intentionally and faithfully applied. Therefore we reason to look forward with confidence expecting increasing prosperity in all directions as the months pass by." All of the address is repeated with such optimistic statements and advice. To its main group in the American nation this address is brought with confidence. Much of our future endeavor is largely wrapped up in the latter would in the latter expansion we are permitted to accomplish. like the United States Steel Corporation, is of great importance to us. Is this talk of OPPORTUNITY merely an ip service? I can faithfully attest that it is not. I have observed at close range the practical working out of the principles attested by Judge Gary. I have seen the wonderful welfare work done in the industry near-Birmingham, Ala., and in Indiana, and other places. That this "Door of Opportunity" has been opened for people in this field, none may question There is much that we should know about these achievements, and what the future holds for us in this field. For the benefit of our people every student must honor to whom honor is due." I shall write in an educational series of articles concerning Labor and Opportunities ahead in this great field. THE CONVICT SHIP The Barquentine Success (By William Pickens) The Associated Negro Press The "ocean hell," member of the 18th Century British "Fidon Fleet—the old wood-floating prison—with its affless dungeons, its branding troops, its wire-wrapped and lead-ripped cateo-nine-tails, its punishment jacket, its straight jackets, manacles and its collars, its "coim bath," when spiked cannoli convict, whose stofh was made into the nine tatted whip, was bathed in vinegar for further torture—and all the other forms of cruelty which the genius and the devil-minds of the age could contrive, this ship, one century and a third old, lies in New York harbor, an elogent testimony to the possible manure. In the early England deported her criminals and her fortunate vities of the harbards this ship was one of the hellish feet that carried them to Australia and Tasmania under conditions so terrible that some times more than half the human cargo would be dead when it arrived. Most of us look at it and shudder and fall to get the lesson, because we simply use the sight as an excuse for thinking ourselves "so much better in our day." This is false. We are not much better. That generation of Englishmen who in 1750 set afface their of the seven seas, also thought they were "better"—better than the Spanish Inquisition, and better than Nero, we can hear them say. So now our people look on their miserable ship of one hundred years ago and say: "How much better we are," and they congratulate themselves, and stop right there. And they miss all the good that this voice and vision of the past might do them. The horse sense attitude for us is this: "How more horse and more digital we must be now and think we are, just as we can see, nor those Englishmen were much more than they ever dreamed themselves to be. Speak a thought as this would not be. Self-fhattery, and self-congratulations, but to self-examination and perhaps to change and progress. And to come right down to the actual facts, we are not so different today. All the cruelty that was practised on this ship to "break the spirit of the customs and unfortunately, is practised today, in different land. There is one important difference; in that it was done under the jurisdiction of law; now it is not sanctioned by formal law, but it is done. The prison ship Georgia and Mississippi can pretend nearly all the hell which is testified by the instruments of fortune on this ship. In our childhood we have seen the "custrict boss" on the public roads of Arkansas, swinging a great strap with brass stacks driven into it, and beating the laure and prostrate backs of black prisoners with all the might of all his muscles—and we have seen that his a white prisoner in the same way. We are shocked when we look at the old ship "Success," and we know that the investigator of 2,000 will be shocked when he looks at us. Agricultural machinery tention of the British Parliament, and after an investigation - the "ocean hells" were ordered sunk. What is goin to happen in the accumulating horrors of our American Congo? Every colored man and women in the United State, who wants to see barricade crime of mob murder wiped out in the United States should, as soon as it is announced that the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill is reported out and is before Congress, telegraph at once to his or her representative asking his support for the Bill. Never before has an Anti-Lynching bill advanced so far as this one. Largely through the efforts of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, representatives have appeared as hearings in Washington and conducted correspondence with Senators and representatives, there is prospect that if colored people unite, this bill may become a law. This will put the entire power of the federal government behind prosecution of mobists and lynchers. It is now or never for if the present bill is not enacted, such legislation Well be set back for years to come. It is, therefore, too much to urge that every colored American citizen spend fifty cents or a dollar in telegraphing to Washington in support of more important measure. It is how ago to teach our children themselves. If they want this measure to pass, it is in their power to have it. If they fail to take united and nation wide, the responsibility for the fettle will rest squarely upon them. It is a concrete opportunity for all of us to fraternal orders, all organizations and individuals—to get together and work as one unit, ten million strong. WHY WOMEN READ NEWSPAPERS From Chicago Journal of Commerce The modern woman is gradually becoming emancipated from the "interest to women" drive that filers can in part of many newspapers with the thing supposed to be designed to "think" limitations of the female intelligence composition on the part of editors the women must be given a particular kind of mental sustenance is all wrong, where the discerning, thinking, urban trained woman of today is concerned. To be sure, matters pertaining to the home are subjects of appeal in that they belong especially to the feminine and while it may be sensible for dals to enter to this taste, it should not be considered a want is filled very luxuriously by the women's magazines. The progressive sisterhood of the present moment is interested in every thing that interests the man "Futti's, sports, general news, the剧院, the arts, books. Not the American woman is coming to realize more and more that must keep up or all of these things, in order to hold her own in any discussion that may come on. Therefore, the newspaper must That We Will Build You A House "To Order" Just As A Tailor Would Make You A Suit To Order, And Let You Pay For It At Your Own Terms, And Guarantee That It Will Not Cost Any More Than Houses That Are Now Available That Have Been Built For Twenty or Twenty-five Years.

It Is Really True. an who would be well informed as it is read by the men—and sometimes more so. It is no uncommon sight, observes one alert female observer, to see in the street car or other public conveyance a woman reading the weighty part of the paper, while her noble spouse is ensing the strain on his mighty intellect by reading the "comics." It is well for the editor to remember the female of the species" in the make of his paper and to see that "writing down" to women has gone out of fashion as completely as has the same going in another way, for our children. Ethnicity and psychologists are recognizing that the intelligence of children can grasp and sense than a large class of "inventies" for a time thought necessary to employ. The modern woman and the newspaper are in the same boat. THE ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS By William Pickens One hundred and twelve Negro papers saying the same thing to thousands of colored people, and causing them to think. This is what the Associated Negro Press has accomplished up to the present moment. Some day it will be five hundred, or even one thousand American Negro papers, all over the United States, have been answered in to shoot straight at the same person. This is an achievement, for in our beholden we always heard it said that the treated people "pulling" the same direction, would be something unheard of. One hundred and twelve Negro papers speaking the same opinion, and thousands and thousands of their readers thinking these things afterwards, that is the achievements of the editors of the Associated Negro Press. We used to shoot like an army in the dark and in a panic, and we killed our comrades much more often than we hit the enemy. We were like those fellows who stumbled in the darkness and fell by our own blade. We would come about: two Negro officers separated by one thousand miles of road would sit down conscientiously to communicate some recent happening of importance to their race. But while agreeing in the main aim, they would find themselves differing in methods, in details and in information. Then when they read these contradictory and conflictive each other's papers, a dispute would arise and in the next time instead of shouting at the common enemy, they would be sitting at each other. With such coursing and back-firing, we of course put every battle in which we were engaged. We literally shot up each other, because we had no army of newspapers but a panicky mob of The Associated Negro Press like a sunset affecting the colored Negro lives. It will not be beaten, the coming enemy will not be beaten by surrender. Well, the colored people are not together on the matter. Our group wants this but each other group is more dangerous and worse the situation. got it into the discussion of national problems affecting the group. After they, get through telling about marriages, and funerals, and that "Mrs. Jones had a tea," then in the next column marked "A. N. P." you will find some bigger broader and less provincial ideas and news. We notice that the men who are running this press service do not as a rule call their own names in print, but use only the name of their institution, it is therefore our pleasure to "call em' in meeting." The fellows who are doing big work are Nabum Daniel Brascher, in thief and less Biblial than his praenomium, together with judge W. H. A. Moore, literature of the first water, and his associate, Claude A. Barnett, who is on the job. They are at the funnel head of a powerful stream of real Negro-American public sentiment.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., July 20- Here in the "Cattle of Liberty" there is a new vision of life. The people are seeing that the political bosses have been using them for catpaws, goats and all the other by-products of "good things," and they are determining that henceforth and forever, there shall be a new deal. The people have known fact, that Philadelphia, with all of its tremendous Colored-population, and its fine heritage of pioneer citizenship, gets less political recognition than any other of the large cities in the East. This awakening is not really new, it started some time ago, but is beginning to function now, in a manner that bewareks real success. Politics is doing it backed up by political efforts that has been carried on a real public awareness through its newspapers, and the people have been organizing in a way that makes old timers sit up and take notice. people. Mr. Henry is even more, he is frank and independent, a good mixer and a taker to his friends. Edward Henry is one of big reasons for the Philadelphia awakening. His friends are urging him to be a commissioned Magistrate, which he will probably consent to do. Then there is a big business awakening in Philadelphia. Brown and Stevens, the bankers, are solid rocks in this foundation. They have demonstrated what can be done by co-operation. Not only have they built the successful bank, the Dunbar Theatre, backed the Quality Amusement Company and cultivated extensive holdings in New York city, but they have personal identity, themselves with civic and political prestige of the city.

They say they are just starting to do many well believe it. If the city does all the things in the program for the next five years, look out! Is there any wonder then, that these people are nivea to the political needs of the people? Is it any wonder that they do not propose to be "on the outside looking in?"

Cape Colony "Israelites" Ejected After Battle The Associated Negro Press... CAPE TOWN, South Africa, July 20 A native religious sect which calls itself the "Israelites," under a "prophet" named Engh, who refused to evacuate Government land at Bolkhoe near Queenstown, Cape Colony, has suddenly been losing 171 killed and 128 wounded in a light with mounted Cape Police. For some years the government had permitted the "Israelites" to celebrate "Passover" on a common, but each year a growing number of pilgrims remained behind on what they called "gray ground." until a village of some 350 forced anybody to enter the village to recognize any authority except orders from "Jehovah, the God of Israel," as interpreted by Enoch the prophet. NEW JERSEY COLORED VOTERS START WAR ON THEIR ENEMIES The Associated Negro Press NEWARK, N. J. July 20—(Special) —New Jersey Colored Republicans have gone on record of endorsing only such candidates for public office who prove themselves true friends of the people, and they will accept, no political favor, from their United States Senate after such a time as the Senate reappoints an endorsement of a candidate for office which was compended for office without the state organization endorsement. These facts were brought out in the monthly meeting of the Colored Republican State Committee, of which Isaac H. Natter of Atlantic City is Chairman. There was an election of officers at the meeting at which Mr. Natter was re-elected unanimously. The committee is an organization which meets each month in a principal city of the state, and lives being present from every county of the state where Colored people reside. There was a remarkable spirit of political independence prevalent in the meeting, and the delegate went on record of opposing any policy of the Administration that refuses to appoint people in the South, or deny the city's rights to protection and equal rights under the law. One of the speakers at the gathering was Nahum Daniel Brascher of Chicago. Editor in Chief of the Associated Negro Press. Mr. Brascher has been in Washington for four months here and has studied closely the progress of the new administration. He declared: "The news about the sincerity of purpose of President Birding. He is being badly advised in some quarters, however, and unfairly supported in others. Not all opposition is from southern Democrats. There are some northern Republicans in Congress who are falling in support the President. All political and businessmen are in support and deserved." Mrs. B. J. Dauz of Atlanta Co. was a visitor.

Young as Antioch, the new religious center, was, she had prophets and teachers. Such are essential-to-church life. Indeed, they are never absent from the true church. In Ephesias 4.8:12 Paul says that when Christ ascended he gave gifts unto men for the purpose of perfecting the saints unto the work of the ministry. II. Barnabas and Saul - Sent Forth (vv. 2, 3). While the five ministers were praying and fasting, the Spirit of God commanded them to send forth Harmas and Saul. The work of evangelizing the world was laid so heavily upon these men that they refrained from eating in order to seek the will of the Lord in prayer. This is the kind of fasting that meets God's approval: From the fact that they were directed to send forth those whom the Spirit called, we learn that the real call to Christ's service comes from the Spirit. The Spirit calls and the church seconds the motion by sending those who are called. They sent the very best men from the church at Antioch. Ul. Preaching the Word of God in Cyprus (vv. 4, 5). We are not told as to why they first went to Cyprus, but we infer that it was because it was the home of Larnabus. It is most natural that those who have heard good news should go with it, first to their kindred and friends. As they went forth they proached the Word of God not divine righteousness, current history, philosophy, etc. The great need today is Spiritcalled and Spiritfilled men preaching God's Word. IV. Withatpod by Elymas the Sorcerer (vv. 6-12). When Barnabas and Saul by invitation were telling Sergius Paulus of the Word of God, Elymus multitudes sought to turn his mind from the faith. This is the first obstacle they encountered. This opposer is the same one who came to Adam in Eden and to Jesus in the wilderness. He is the enemy of God and man. He now seeks to hear the gospel as it centers upon its career of the conversion of the heathen. Saul denounced him in the most wrathful terms, calling him the child of the devil, full of gale and vultain, and pronounced him the enemy of all righteousness, accusing him of perverting the right ways of the Lard. Happily, the deputy heeded Saul's teaching and believed the gospel. It was in this connection that Saul's name was changed to Paul. In the synagogue at Antioch in Pisidia (vv. 15, 16). From Paphos Paul and Barbarians went northward to Perga. From Perga they went into Antioch in Pisidia, where they entered the synagogue on the Sabbath day. Though he was sent to the Gentiles he does not depart from the order, of beginning with the Jews. After the usual reading of the Scriptures, upon the invitation of the rulers, Paul delivered the discourse recorded in verses 17-41. This sermon is worthy of careful study. It consists of four parts: (1) Historical (vv. 17-21); apologetic (vv. 24-37); (3) doctrinal, (vv. 38, 39); (4) practical (vv. 40, 41). It sets forth the missionary message for all times and lands. Its essence should ever be the same. In this sermon he presented the goridian and risen Christ as the Savior from sin, basing his proof upon the testimony of living witnesses and the Inspired Word. VI. The Effect of the Sermon (iv. (4-52). Many of the Jews and proselytes requested them to speak to them again. Almost the whole city came to hear the Word of God the next Sabbath. This great crowd joined the jealousy of the Jews. This jealousy could not long be restrained; it broke out in open opposition. This opposition was in turn answered by Fauna's rejection of them and turning to the Gentiles. Learn the True Wisdom. Learn. O student, the true wisdom.

Moore The Associated Negro Press The Associated Negro Press To speak of a man who is in the public eye is running something of the risk of overdoing or underdoing the subject. And to one who has touched life in very near all of its phases the danger is closely present. And yet, however, this man may be, I am going to say a word or two about Ernest T. Aiwell. He is a member that he is our national figure in Community Service work. Another group of us will remember that becomes of good stock. His father was a man of sterling qualities and splendid ability. His mother is a woman of intellectual power and incomparable grace of presence. These facts, then give small reason for us to expect anything that the larger aspects when we look in the direction of Ernest T. Aiwell. Hence the breadth of his approach to the work he has had in the field of community service. He goes he leaves a good impression behind for Community Service. One remembers the man, but one also has a clearly defined notion of the work he is trying to do. This is something of a gain in spirit and it is bound to bring great good to the cause which he is sponsoring. With him I was impressed that it was the work first and Atwell came afterward to the fore as the earnest bearer of its message. Do not say him there, but they are the ones who declare I find a refreshing and permanent satisfaction in the thought of him as a worker in the golden fields of social welfare endeavor. In another direction I am going to say a word concerning a minister who is to be found in the city of Chicago. I speak of him because his present position is a most trying and exacting one. He is the pastor of "Big Bethel." This means that he is charged with the responsibility of caring for one of the most active, forward and capable fighting groups in the "Windy City." Bethel has just gone through the excitement and perils of a revolution. When the Rev. S. T. Bitt came to assume the duties of its pastor he found matter disturbed. Many of us had grieve fears for his bodily and spiritual safety. But he appear to be coming through with flying colors. He has given Chicago a taste of ministerial leadership which has filled it with high admiration for the man. Chicago is proud of him and that is saving, in common parlance a "mouthful." I am not given to hero warship. But one trained to journalistic observation comes occasionally to: the place where it is a pleasant duty to speak graciously of people who are working for the "work's" sake. This, to me, is the all-important matter. A man's ability to do is finally determined by the character of what he does. There is no escape from this situation. A man faults, whatever they may be, mostly forgives. If he does his work in a sound way and with the slighter thought of himself. The two men I have spoken about at this time give me this impression. We need men in these stressful times. Mohandas Kutanamband Gandhi is one of the supremely spiritual figures in this life of the world today. He speaks for India, he lives for life throughout the whole, wide earth. India is no longer the land of hidden dreams, the beauty of her dreams, the music of her music, the mofes-bf her philosophy, the transcendent essences of her multicolored aspiration abide with us in particularity of detail reviving in superfruit splendor of spiritual purpose. Rubinthathm Tagore has said, "The joy of unity within ourselves seeking expression becomes creative whereas our desire for fulfillment of needs is constructive." In other words, we create in thought that which is the substance of the soul, and then we construct the temples of our souls. Gaudit is the accumulated expression of the Indian soul in no less a way he is the constructive master of the means whereby India shall become free. He has lived in England, he speaks and rhythms in the terms of English speech. He sees clearly that the occidental philosophy of life is more burrow of character than even the automated misjudgements of the Indian people. He gave none of Northern industrialism it is too crusted in unsympathetic arguments to in sanguity into the fulfillment of needs" of the more benign and meditative spirit of the Indian plains. And besides he has communed with Ruskin and rebelled with folstol. Hence he would go "Back on the Vedas," that ancient modulation took the true beauty of soul which lacked the beauty of the other Indian, made for her glories and her strengths. I can do the more of the greatest leaders living among more than tell of the presence of one men today. I would we had one like him. He is no self-centered whim for rights. He is, indeed, a door of a philosophy who cultivates beauty to the end that life shall become finer, stronger and more permanent, the aspects of truth. Somehow the aspects of truth will farewell to the "leaders of movements." May the day come soon is our prayer. I am more than glad that Jack Johnson is out of prison. I now trust he will find his levels of life, make his last fight and then go into the objection that inevitably will blame him. I like sports. I bewaft, however, the situations of obscene 'professionalism to which many of its phases have fallen. Boxing is a healthy sport. Profile (one) prize-fighting. His gone about as low as it is possible for it to snake, a humane. I am one who knows that the most important thing is in any way a necessary adjunct to the upbringing to our particular species not marked. I don't think the "oil-line" will be wiped out by the fists of any colored fellow no matter how strongly and skillfully he might use them. And yet if it will break up the prize-fighting game if a black pugnstil should win the championship I am for a black champion. I, for one, am nearly tired of the yelping of the American white man about the stands he feels he must assume to maintain the integrity of his kind. In one of those relationships of disunity in the Gorilla and in the next breath he daily refuses to permit the best white brute to engage in a fistic encounter with the best black brute—mind I am speaking of prize-fighters—engage in a fistic encounter to establish the question of superiority, whatever that may mainly mean. There is no color in brutes. Jack Dempsey is as low in the social scale as it is possible for a human being to sink and Jack Johnson is about in the same boat. So, what is the difference?. Speaking of superiority I notice that Japan has been invited to sit at President's Harding's disarmament conference. Mighty risk business. There may be a point of eye to defend sewage. What's worse? What if it should mark the beginning of the end "white supremacy? The Japanese are sure to have their say. Is it not human supremacy the thing after all to be sought by the nations of the earth? Let us hope that this idea will prevail at the proposed conference. We know how the moon comes to be full, but it is really a mystery how some men get "full" in these dry days. We would like to know if Presi- debt. Harding's disarmment conference will include: a discussion of a weapon, an army officer who shoot down an enemy yet "demonstrate niggers?"

HAYS APPROVES PLAN TO ORGANIZE POST OFFICE COUNCILS Associated Negro Press WASHINGTON, D. C. July 20-Postmaster General Hays has approved the plan of Dr. Lee K. Frankel, in charge of the welfare department in the Post Office Department, to organize from among the post employees national and the post employees of the plan to the council's complements of representatives elected by the employee themselves. In order that the council's work might proceed immediately it was decided that the first council should be made up of presidents and secretaries of the postal organizations and representatives of the unorganized employees, until a method of selection by the employees of the members of the council shall be developed. The national council will meet monthly in Washington with the welfare director, or other representatives of the welfare department, to consider matters, affecting working conditions, health and general welfare of employees in post offices, mail trains, steamships, and other divisions of the steamship industry, is planned to happen in each city of the country, also a local council to be composed of the postmaster or a supervisory official appointed by him, and representatives of the letter carriers, postal clerks and other employee groups. These local councils will meet periodically to discuss matters of local interest. NEGRO LEADERS MEET AT HAMPTON INST. The Associated Negro Press HAMPTON, Vn., July 26. Ministers, farmers, and teachers are cooperating heartily to improve community life as well as to develop the success of both men and women and children. The meeting of Negro leaders at Hampton Institute showed clearly the growing interest in community program making. The interdenominational Ministers' Conference of Hampton Institute (Rev. M. E. Davis Norfolk, president, and Rev. Laurence Foenigon, Hampstead executive secretary) brought together 555 more secrecy (from eleven states)—one hundred and 68 from Virginia—T2 from North Carolina; 4 from Maryland; 2 each from South Carolina, Arkansas and New Jersey; and one each from Ohio New York, Deleware, District of Columbia, and Texas,—who represented 16 denomination including Baptist, 154 Missionary Association, 30; Presbyterian, 10; Protestants Episcopal, 19; and Methodist Episcopal, 6. NEW YORK WORLD SAYS NEGRO.VOTER IS BEING FOOLED BY REPUBLICANS The Associated Negro Press WASHINGTON, D. C. July 20,- Louis Sibelb, the Washington national correspondent of the New York World, sent the following dispatch for the World: "Members of the Republican National Committee are still engaged in trying to placate the colored brother, who has been made the 'guest' of the Harding Administration. Secretary Miller of the Committee in a letter to Nahum D. Brascher, Editor of the Associated Negro Press, is attempting to convince the colored voters of the country that the lapping off of twenty-three delegates of southern states was not a reflection of the integrity of the colored voters in that section of the country who unanimously voted the Harding ticket. Further than this Senator Culder is credited with camouflaging the opposition of the Administration to the colored voters by predicting the creation of a new revenue district in New York and that Charles W. Anderson, one of the most progressive colored men of the country, is to be nominated for it. In the mean time the existing district will be given to Frank Bowers, a white Republican district leader in Manhattan, the most liberal leaders of the country, who assert that the colored race is entitled to recognition in the appointment of Anderson, have frankly instanced their belief that Senator Culder is not friendly to the colored race. The conviction of the colored leaders that the Harding Administration does not appreciate the value of the service remanded by the colored voters is supported by statements that the Administration will not appoint a single colored man from the South to a Presidential office, and will ignore the claim of those in the North who have been endorsed for office. "Already the colored leaders are disregarding the attacks of one of their first undertakings will be to eliminate from public life Bassoon Stemp, the Republican leader of Virginia, who is held responsible by colored voters for the curtailment of the number of delegates from Southern states. Another project that the colored leaders will be to make combinations, with Democratic groups against white Republican, ain't no zapatol unjustified against them." HARDING PRESENTED WITH HIGH BACKED EDITORIAL CHAIR Associated Negro Press. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 27. A high backed editorial chair presented to President Harding by more than 40,000 people Tuesday, was added to the furnishings of the Presidential study in the White House. It was made of wood from the famous old schooner Revenge, captured from the British on Lake Champlain during the Revolutionary War. Senator Capper of Kansas, publisher of the Topeka Capital, was selected to make the presentation speech and another of the articles which arranged the presentation was James M. Cox, publisher of the Dayton News and Mr. Harding's Democratic opponent for the Presidency last year. In accepting the gift the President said: "It goes without saying that I am delighted to have this token of the esteem of men of the Fourth Estate. It touches my rather deeply because I have a very great pride in the part I have had in the newspaper profession. "If I could have my life to live over with all the experiences that have come to me I would not change my profession my would I alter the policy with which I have something shortened the newspaper, if which I have been the publisher."

GIANTS The St. Louis Giants took two of three games played with the Chicago Giants with the other game ending in twelve lining tie. The series was uninteresting and only small crowds came out to see the butties, Joe Green has a team of ordinary ball players and has vry little pitching talent. Tailor, the most feared man on the staff, was hammered for thirteen hits on Sunday. Henderson started on Monday and was so wild that he was hit by a pitch. Miller was hammered for eleven hits. Henderson came back on Tuesday and turned out a real game holding the Giants to five hits. Sunday's game the Giants captured 8 to 5. On Monday the score was 12 to 7. Tuesday's game, which ended in a tie when the game was called on account of rain in the twelfth, was the best of the series and each team scored three runs. Oscar Charleston missed, two of the games playing to the death of his sister. ST. LOUIS GIANTS A. H. G. A.

NO LEAGUE GAME HERE THIS SUNDAY The St. Louis Giants leave for Quincy, Friday, where they will play Saturday. The club then goes to Chicago for a game and follow with three games. There will be no no-hole games in St. Louis until after the middle of the month. ST. LOUIS IS FAVORITE IN RACE FOR NEGRO LEAGUE PENNANT CHICAGO. Aug. 2. The last week of the month of July has proven an eye opener for the baseball fans along the Western circuit of the Negro National league. With Detroit dislodged from the first place berth in which it was sponsored for so long, the last week of the month developed a merry celebration of the division, with the Foster club holding down the top and Kansas City and No. Louis waging fierce battles for possession of the runner-up position. St. Louis Favorite Out of ten fans heard, nine of them favor the St. Louis crowd to win the big honors, while the great form displayed by the Kansas City team, has annexed them a wonderful following. Kansas City is the only club that has not been through a trounced by the Mound City team, and games for the good over the Mound City lunch on the season's doings so far. Great improvement has been noticed in the work of two or three teams especially, the Indianapolis club and Columbus. The Chicago Giants are showing a twenty-five per cent improvement while the Foster Americans are right now up to the best form of this present season. The new acquisitions to the Columbus Buckeyes have been bolder and better the belief pretties, that the southern boys, showing a lot of mechanical accomplishments, they are yet in the rough stage of baseball matters and need much schooling before they can be expected to cope with the fast inside play of the surrounding foe. The new Buckeye twirler, Lefiy Gis captain, has the poise of a veteran foe that he would develop into a sparkling headliner among pitchers of the league. Catcher, O'Neil flashes class, being a capable receiver, a snappy thrower, and appears to be outwounded with a world of gril when facing the homeward-bound spiked-shoes of the opposition. Columbus has a formidable crest of shammerers and looks to beat it best 500 feet of the sea. W. L.

EMIR OF KATAINA AND TWO WIVES SEE ENGLISH SPORTS The Associated Negro Press LONDON, England, July 20 - The Enquire of Kataina a black dignitary from Nigeria in Africa; picked two of the wimmers of Lingfield last Wednesday by merely glancing at the horrors. It was the first time meeting he and his saint had attended, but he is an expert horseman and skilled skilled colonial office officials, who are piffling him about London. He had an audience with King George and was deeply impressed, taking the King's hand in gesture. He witnessed a polo match both of his own and with a caressing hit at Hurlingham this afternoon, and the Russian ballet. Two of his wives accompanied him to the ballet. They sat in a separate screened box. This was the first public appearance of the wives. New York will have thirty days of Garvey. Well, what of it? DuBois will be in Europe thirty days. THE ST.
