Immediate Needs Laid Before Representative Citizens, Nolte Afraid To Make Pr MONEY FOR ROVEMENTS AVAILABLE Tells Committee That City Has No Money To Recreational Facilities In The Negro Neighbor- But Will Do All In His Power To Bring A Change. Needs Laid Before His Honor Rv Groun Of Representative Citizens, Who Present Claims. Louis Nolte Afraid To Make Promise Of Support. A committee of representative citizens called upon, Mayor Kiel a few days ago and presented certain facts with regards to recreational conditions in the Negro neighborhoods. This committee was headed by this W. Buckner. Executive Secretary of the Urban League, who read the claim of five committees, to which the Mayor intervened every attentively. Aaron E. Malone, president of Poro College was the spokesman for the committee. Mr. Malone told the Mayor that he had tried to satisfy his people of the city with regards to the improvements in Negro neighborhoods by telling them that the Mayor was going to do these things if given a chance "but" he said "I can no longer satisfy them. They want something done and justly so. We do not like to complain, but conditions have become unbearable. There was one little swimming pool at the Metropolitan Church, but that has been closed now." The small play, ground at Leffingwell and Lawson, is only a makeshift with no comfort station, and is poorly equipped." Dr. W. P. Curtis told the Mayor that all the swimming pools of the city should be opened to Colored people. Other members of the committee were: William Herbert Fields, National Grand Master, A. V. K. and D. of K.; David D. Jones secretary; Time S. M. C. A.; Rev. N. L. Smith, pastor; Lane Tabernacle C. M. E. Church, and J. F. Mitchell, editor St. Louis Argus. After listening to the committee's plan, Mayor Kiel said in part: "I agree with all you have said about these conditions. The reason why nothing is done, is because the money has not been available. You should take this matter up before the Board of Estimates and Proportions, Mr. Nolte and Mr. Aloe are the other members. "It's for you to make it strong. I know you people have not received what you should, but others are complaining too. Its the same old story, the fellow who is less persistent, gets the beast. "I am for it. You ought to have it. The only way you will get it is for you to help me." The Mayor then suggested that the Committee go see Mr. Nolte. When seen by the Committee, Mr. Nolte said that nothing could be done just now to relieve the situation. And while the arguments of the Committee was well taken, and that their claim was just, yet he said he would make no promises. He suggested that his "recent" be accepted by the Committee as an assurance that he would do the right thing about the matter. Chains Of The Committee To the Honorable Henry W. Kielb Mayor At no time in this history of St. Louis has there been a greater need for larger recreational facilities for all citizens, particularly the Negro population. From today. Not even the panicky days of 1914 offered a situation as acute in this respect as the present. In the first place, the Negro citizens before 1914 had not tasted of signup recreational activities on a large scale such as those promoted by War Time organizations. And by the second place, the St. Louis association had not been augmented by the large influx of southern migrants, most of whom have needed proper direction and recreation to make them suitable for city life. In the case of the movers and the masses, especially, the value of recreation cannot be overestimated. Today all classes of the Negro population have a growing appreciation for community recreation. In this connection they are alert to the responsibility of this mutuality to the needs of all its citizens alike. This Committee representing the various elements of the Negro population, therefore begs leave to call His Honor's attention to, and ask his support for, increased recreational facilities that will meet the needs of the Negro population upon the following grounds: 1. Industrial depression accentuates the need. The psychological effect of the present industrial depression upon the social consciousness of the Negro masses has been more marked than is true of any other racial group. It is estimated that between 5,000 and 7,000 of the Negro breadwinners are now unemployed, and have been, for the past six or nine months or longer. Their only outlet now for group recreation consists mainly of commercialized movies and unsupervised dance halls for the younger people, and the "Dry" saloons and pool rooms, particularly for the new. We inquire can the social consciousness of any group of citizens living under such adverse conditions make for EY FOR EMENTS AVAILABLE That City Has No Money To Facilities In The Negro Neighbor- all In His Power To Bring His Honor Rv Groun Of Who Present Claims. Louis Promise Of Support. the citizenship which our St. Louis desires? Something must be done now to rectify the distorted minds of the Negro masses. They too must be made to feel that St. Louis is "The City surrounded by the United States," and the best place on earth to live in. They need direction and co-operation. We believe His Honor has not been made aware of these appalling facts. 2. Taxation (without representation). We desire further to call His Honor's attention to the fact that of the twenty-eight playgrounds in the city only three are located in Negro districts, and these are but mere makeshift and most poorly equipped. Of the three public baths maintained by the city, not one is located in a Negro district. Again, of the four municipal swimming pools, not a single one is located in a Negro district. The city is also promoting a municipal community center located advantageously for the whites, but very disadvantageously for the colored. Since these activities are being supported wholly or mainly by public funds, while one-seventh of the population are deceived the pleasures and privileges afforded to them, either because of location, racial cleavage, or otherwise, we believe our needs are not being justly considered. And we ask that we may count on His Honor, the guardian of the welfare of all the people of this great city, to adjust these conditions forthwith. In view of the foregoing, this Committee representing the 70,000 colored people of St. Louis requests: 1. That all recreational activities and facilities in this community now under municipal direction be open to all citizens alike, and that the playgrounds located in Negro districts be properly equipped to take care of the needs of those sections. 2. That since the swimming pools now maintained by the city do not meet the needs of Negroes is that not one is conveniently located for them, we ask that at least one be located in a district largely inhabited by Negroes. 3. That since each of the these municipal baths is not conveniently located for colored people, we ask that at least one be established in a Negro district. 4. We most urgently request that His dome use his every energy to provide a municipal community center easily accessible to the masses of Negroes who under wholesome and well directed play will become more contented neighbors and more valuable citizens to the city of St. Louis. Respectfully submitted. Geo. W. Buskner, Aaron E. Malone, Wm. H. Fields, Dr. W. P. Curtis, Rev. N. L. Smith, David D. Jones, J. E. Mitchell.

ST.LOUIS,MO.,FRIDAY.MARCH 3,1922 NORTH CAROLINA FIGHTS HARD FOR MATTHEW BULLOCK Secretary Hughes Asked To Demand Return Of Negro From Canada to the Town Where His Brother Was Lunched special to the Argus NORLINA, N. 4, Feb. 22. It is stated upon reliable authority here that the white members of this community will bring powerful influence to hear upon the case of Matthew Bullock, whom an attempt was made to extradite from Canadian authorities then the charges of inciting to riot. These charges were felt validated to the satisfaction of the Canadian Government with the result that Bullock was freed and United States requests for extradition turned down. The new charge, which is to be made against Bullock, it is stated, will be murder. To substantiate these charges it will be necessary that the United States Government dispatched witnesses to Hamilton, Ontario where Bullock resides, for the purpose of appring against him. It is extremely doubtful, in view of all conditions that this will be done but it is well understood here that every effort will be made, to do it. Norfolk white people, with some state-wide assistance, appear to have seen a necessity for convincing the Canadian Government that the excellent record made by Matthew Bullock since his residence in the British dominion is not a 'fair example of the character of American Colored people. If Canada's refusal to grant extradition is left without, strong protest it practically establishes for the world a preemptive turn which to base action for the protection of ex-American Colored citizens who leave this country in a nurtured fear of illegal and unjust treatment. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in its fight for Bullock, and by the 65% of the long-lying and false trivial record of south-eastern states, is in possession of sufficient substantial evidence to make clear to an inparial court that no colored man accused as is Bullock would receive a fair trial in a southern court, and at the same time to prosecute that it is probable that the accused, man, would receive no trial at all if kept back in such a state. The Bullock case has attracted world wide attention. Exposed at first of inciting to riot here after his brother had been murdered by a mob the young colored man fled to Canada for protection. Upon taking up residence at Hamilton he immediately started providing himself an exemplary citizen and an asset to the community. No part of his record at Northland nor at Hamilton would tend to show him a man able to incite a riot. His intelligence, integrity and industry though, tend to prove him a man capable of resisting injustice, which appears the only crime. If crime it is of which he can be accused. It is started by some members of the Northland community that Secretary Hughes will be interested in the case and that extradition will be attempted by the State Department at Washington. Whatever the outcome the case will curb interesting feitures. The findings in the previous attempt at extradition make one of the strongest indications of the back of justice in the United States to Negroes ever furnished by a foreign power. NORTH CAROLINA REFUSES TO SEND WITNESSES Associated Negro Press. RALIEGHL, Nc March 1.—Gov. Morrison of North Carolina, in a complaint sent recently to Acting Secretary of the State Department of Washington, declared North Carolina would not unlaw any circumstances produce witnesses to testify before Judge Snider at Hamilton, Ontario, as to the charge pending against Matthew Butlock, whose extradition has been asked by the United States Government. The Governor said that if Canada would not honor the extradition "in the regular way" and if the state department could not convince the Canadian authorities that they should do so, then I hope you will not hereafter request North Carolina in any way to omit a request from Canada. FRANCE UPHOLDS LEGAL POLYGAMY OF SENEGALS PARIS, France, March 1. Catholics and Protestants in France are joining forces to combate the trickle admission of polygamy by French law. During the war a law was passed making natives born in certain districts of Senegal, French citizens, but at the same time of giving them to retain their own marriage customs. The result is that polygamy may be legally practiced in the colony by French citizens. The moral objections raised by the church, which fears the consequences of such prevalent establishment by the French code, are nullified in convince parliament or government. The latter, indeed is anxious, that the birth rate shall not be low in the colonies and thus cause French reserves of Colored troops to shrink. So if will continue to uphold legal polygamy. Y.W.C.A. GOES ON DRIVE FOR $7,500 The friends of Wheatley Branch Y. W. C. A. will be glad to know that they have definitely set a date for their maintenance campaign, which is from March 1st to 20th inclusive. The Committees are well organized under the leadership of Mrs. E. C. Shaw, who has as her associate chairman Miss. Arsuna Williams. Mrs. Amie K. Russell Garner and Mrs. Nancy Street are the Generals of two grand sub-divisions. Each division is composed of five captains, who have ten each of the best workers in St. Louis. The enthusiasm over this Campaign is spreading throughout the city. Already prayer circles and other religious groups are circling the City in prayer and precepts that the work of the Campaign Committee may be crowned with success. Last year, Wheatley Branch raised $29,000 toward the maintenance of the institution. This has been a most remarkable showing, considering the fact that Wheatley has not had a campaign for two years. The very fact that she has been able to handle 225 persons within the last year shows the great need for a permanent well equipped dormitory. The citizens of St. Louis should rally to the call of Wheatley Branch. Let every man and woman, who is interested in the womanhood of the price come forward and share in this splendid piece of work. PRESIDENT OF MEHARRY MEDICAL COLLEGE WILL BE GUEST HERE MONDAY Graduates Of That School Will Give Banquet In His Honor At Grand Central Hotel Dr. J. J.

During the last several months the colored people of the city have been interesting themselves in the schools as never before. Recently the several ministers' organizations and the boards of directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the Elliardsville Civic League and the Missouri Negro Republican League Club have adopted resolutions to call a joint mass meeting of the colored people to consider the condition and needs of the colored schools; how the needs may be met; and to develop a consensus of opinions as to what the attitude of the colored people should be toward the contemplated raise in the school tax rate, to be voted on March 28. A joint committee representing all of the interested organizations has charge of the arrangements, which will be published in detail next week. BAD MAN KILLED TO SAVE SCHOOL PUPILS Associated Negro Press VALDOSTA, Ga., March 1, John Glover, a Negro, was shot and killed by n-fibb of his own race at Indiana, seven miles west of here, after he had shot up, a Negro schoolhouse, killed a little girl and fatally wounded a boy. Glover forced an entrance to the school after the teacher had barred the door. He was armed with a pistol and shotgun, diving both in the schoolroom. Negroes of the neighborhood formed a pose and shouted the schoolhouse. Glover was shot three times and finally trained with a shovel. No arrests have been made. N repart was sent out that Glover was killed. This was not a leaching in its regular sense as it was necessary to Lil Glover to save the pupils.

Gives His Views On The Race Says He Is Willing To Co-op For Salvation Of The Race. Bubbling with enthusiasm, and tilled with optimism Marcus Garvey, President General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association made his appearance in St. Louis during the past week where he delivered three public speeches in the interest of his organization. During his addresses, Mr. Garvey puts a deal of stress upon the work of the U. N. I. A., telling his hearers that the destiny of the race is founded in this movement. He asks the people for more sympathy with his work as it is quite young yet. No movement, he said, has ever made such rapid progress before in so short a time. Large crowds were in attendance at these meetings. Many being curious to see the man whom in much has been said. In an interview with an Argus representative Thursday afternoon at the Grand Central Hotel, Marcus Garvey, President General of the U. N. I. A., Provisional President of Africa by some considered visionary and impractical, by many considered Negroes' man of destiny, impressed one as being full of the force and enthusiasm which has enabled him to build up an organization, using material which has never been touched, and to fire the imagination of thousands of colored people in various parts of the world with the dream of empire. "Our members are satisfied and loyal, only out siders are dissatisfied," says Garvey. "Should We Emigrate?" "I do not believe that the Negro should go to Africa as a whole, but in part, only such as are able to build up the country, trained artisans, mechanics, carpenters, producers, should go now and prepare the country for the expansion of Negro trade interests of the future," said the U. N. I. A. head. Mr. Garvey expresses as his belief that within the next four or five centuries the population of the United States will have grown to four or five time its present size. This will result in an overpopulation of the country and to industrial wars in which a numerically, financially and politically weak part of the population, such as is the Negro, will be exterminated. To meet this contingency and to protect future generations of Negroes it is the intention of the N. I. A. to establish upon the African continent a strong and capable government both for the expansion and protection of Negroes interests.

HALE Tennessee A. & I. Head Arceded Of Usury In Loaning Money To Disabled Ex Soldiers. Associated Negro Press WASHINGTON, D. C. Maral I. Immediate removal of W. J. Hale, colored president of the Tennessee Agriculture and Industrial Institute at Nashville, against whom charges of extortion of former soldier timates of the institution been made. has been ordered. Director Forbey of the Veterans Bureau announced. Director Forbey's announcement was made after a conference with President P. K. Harmed of the Tennessee Board of Education, Prof. J. B. Brown, state superintendent of public inspection and C. L. Marshall, in connection with charges that Hale had been loaning money on a 10 per cent basis to the Negro inmates of the institution on the security of their compensation checks. President Hale's friends, white, and colored in Nashville have rallied around him. However, Col. Forbes said that he had been informed members of the Board of Education that if within twenty-four hours from their return to Nashville, Hale had not been removed from office, he will take every trainee out of the institution and place them in other schools. There are about 20 ex-service men in the school. The case, Col. Forbes declared, had been "white washed" by the Tennessee Board of Education, but had not been white washed by the government, which had placed it in the hands of the Justice Department.

"In our first negotiations for the purchase from the United States Shiping Board of a large steamship we based our plans upon the arrangements made with the old board. Upon the appointment of the new shipping board these arrangements were changed so as to make it impossible for us to meet the new demands in view of the general slump in shipping," said Garvey in explanation of the charges of fraud which have been made against him. Marcus Garvey stated that he has made efforts to cooperate with leaders of the race in America but has been refused recognition by some and refused cooperation by almost all established leaders of national importance. "God send the day when we as a race, can think and act as a unit," he says. The nature of the I. N. I. L. A. is an unknown quantity. Its program is interesting. Its leaders will be a part of history. Time only will render history's verdict. Its president and leading figure feels that the movement is not receiving the support and interest from the general public that it should. He cites instances of other large corporations which, after years of success, with every facility for avoiding difficulties, that have not regrets and retained the loyalty of the white public as a new organization faced with every imaginable difficulty, interesting new fields whereon experiences come out with time, he feels, that the I. N. I. L. A. and the A. O. L. have accomplished a much or more than could have been reasonably expected by any man interested in the development of our race and its establishment as a factor in the world's work.

There are no Dead Although with bowed and breaking heart With sable garb and silent tread We bear their semless dust to rest And say that they are dead They are not dead! They have but passed Beyond the mist that blinds us here; Into the new and larger life. Of that serene sphere. They have dropped their robes of clay. To put their shining ralments on; They have not wandered far away. They are not "lost" or "gone." And sometimes when our hearts grow faint. Amid temptations fierce and deep, Or when the wilty rage wring, Of grief or passion sweep. We feel upon our fevered brow, Their gait touch, their breath of balm. Their arms quold us, and our hearts Grow comforted and calm. And ever near us, thou unseen. Their dear immortal spirits trend For all the boundless universe. Is life. There are no dead. Sadly and sorrowfully misled by sisters and children. Gertrude E. Sutherland and Birdie Austin. IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of our darling son, little James R.

B. Ziff Co., 608 South Dearborn St., Chicago, IL. WHERE IS THE LEGISLATIVE RELEIF COMMITTEE? Now comes the news that segregation is still prevalent in the several governmental departments at Washington. And while the segregation in its self is bad enough, the conditions under which it exists makes it worse. It is reported that under the present arrangements, the colored employees in the Veteran's Bureau are compelled to eat their lunches in the basement of the building under the most unsanitary conditions where the spitouses are cleaned, bad odors and filth are much in evidence. This condition of things, directs our attention to the so-called "Legislative Relief Committee" who some time ago sent out letters soliciting funds for the maintenance of such a committee whose business would be to look after the rights of the colored people of the country. This committee was headed by "Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson, who was described as a "fearless leader" of his race. The public was led to believe that this committee whose headquarters are at Washington, right on Pennsylvania Avenue, opened the White House and the Capitol would act as a "grate dog" in guarding the interest of the race. And that their political influence assured their success. But, instead of this committee getting their heads together and working a program in the interest of the race, they went to work, heart and soul for jobs for themselves. Hence segregation and every other imposition has been heard upon the members of the race, and not a word of protest has ever come from this "Relief Committee" so far as we know. Jobs have been first and foremost in their minds. The people, the poor people will want to know, what has become of the protection they were paying for and where is all this "influence" that these so-called leaders were supposed to have? We wonder what circumstances are being made by those who were the direct beneficiaries of the peoples' money, as to why segregation of the finest kind still exist in the several governmental departments at Washington? We wonder if those who have charge of the Relief Committee have made themselves so ridiculous in the sight of men by begging for jobs, that no government official will hear them? What we think of these things we feel like using the expression of Brother Harry C. Smith of the Cleveland Gazette—"Lord have mercy!" MR. NOLTE AND HIS PROMISE. When a Committee called upon Comptroller Louis, Noite a few days ago with reference to the immediate needs of the recreational facilities in the Negro neighborhoods, it was met with the statement that there was "no money" with which to make these improvements. When shown the urgent need of something being done to relieve the conditions, he admitted the truth of the statement but said he would make no promise of his support of the proposition. Committee called upon Comptroller with reference to the immediate matters in the Negro neighborhoods, in that there was "no money" with donations, own the urgent need of something, conditions he admitted the truth of, could make no promise of his support.

The Colored people of the city generally, will look upon his appointment with favor because they know him and have labored with him in a common cause. Those who know him best believe him to be fair and just in his dealings with his followers. And for that reason all the embs can't but express a false deal regardless of race or color.

Magazines and newspapers are devolving much space to discussions for and against the modern girl whose age is around 18. If the piece is too short it is not so hard to faint of the girl's gift to have who have kept pace with the strides of the charming dames of today. We believe $j$ would be a thing if some of the entertainments given at the halls were attended more frequently by parents in company with their daughters and sons. It would serve two purposes: It would tend to show that the family and mothers were in touch with the girls' fascination for their children, and at the same time, parents would then have an opportunity long neglected, to bring back the old days when they actually helped to select company for their children and guided them right. • Parent and children should be companions and pets and the persuasive demands that they get more closely together for the sake of posture. Young People M Church There is a wide-surval differentiation on the part of young people about attending church. This feeling has developed not because of the inflexibility of religious fames, but is due to the inflexibility of the schools which are now giving more time to science, economics, and the study of society. Many of the churches of toky will follow the store crysage crowd humbled down from time to time, and that the chief impulses of the school would be held on the "Grunt Heaven." The schools now, however, are encouraging to fit young people, to live today. St. Louis is fortunate in having a number of well-trained teachers who are attracting officially to make the members of their congregation see that the Christ like life consists not in getting roads to a place, but in learning better and better each day how to value the value of fresh air, good health, soup bottles, and clean homes, the simple subject continuing the very essence of all that is learned in the school room or that may prepare us for a house life on earth or an eternity life in Heaven.

Nations which try to grow by it thrive for a while, finish a lot of thrilling literature, dwindle and die. Any fool should not be afraid of progress. War is simply a means of taking that which others have produced and disgorging the producers in the process. There are a few more than 10,000,000 Egyptians in Egypt. There are a few more than 10,000,000 Americans in the United States. 10,000,000 Egyptians with full confidence in white nations with their own indulgence in opportunities to work out their own desires are bound to add a lot to civilization. By making individuals great their nation will become great and their real friends of all races will devise some benefit from Egyptian progress.

The whole scheme of Randolph Springs is to make this a real National health insurance owned and absolutely constituted by the stock of this Association. No city site for our group is so fortunately situated as is Randolph Springs. Here many hundreds of acres of the finest farm lands in central Missouri are beheaded and cultivated in small farms by our people. Here plenty of good fuel lay at its doors. An abundant water supply from East Fork less than half a mile distance will furnish the city. Then here the roadway facilities are the very best that can be thought of because the main line of the Great Wahab system between St. Louis and Kansas City borders this town of land on one side of the highway. This highway also bounds this transect with a cross State hard, surface highway. Climate conditions are the best found anywhere in central Missouri no matter, how hot, the days may be, here the evaposions and the nights are ideal place for the development of things that a race needs to make itself great.

Of Both Ra Church At Funeral. O Of National Negro Base Special to the Argus, INDIANPOLIS, Inc. February 27 Thousands of people of both races surged up and down Indiana Avenue, today in an effort to gain entrance to the home of the late C. I. Taylor, who passed away last Thursday morning at 10:30. Many more joined the already swelling horde at the church when the remains arrived there. While the funeral was quiet, there was much ado f among the citizens who could not get into the church to hear the funeral preached. The funeral was held at Bethel A. M. E. Church, Rev. Charles, Sumner Wil- iams, officiating. The Masons and Shriners had charge of the funeral and the Shelton and Sona Undertakers had charge of the body. Anthony "Rube" Foster Attends Funeral The President of the Negro National League, Mr. A. Rube Foster, arrived Sunday to attend the funeral and along with him came John Thom Bland, Detroit, with Wm. Dismukes, Manager of the Pittsburgh, Keystones coming in front the East ahead of the contingent, James Taylor, Manager, Cleveland Club of the League, John 'Steel Arm' Taylor, Ben Taylor, brothers of the deceased—were in attendance. The end came to C. I. early last Thursday morning. He had all for the past three weeks, but until recently no great alarm was caused by his illness. He passed away peacefully at his residence, 446 Indiana Avenue with many relatives and friends at his bedside who had kept a constant bedside watch for the previous forty-eight hours. Mr. Taylor was a member of Bethel A. M. E. Church, the Persian Temple of Shrines, and the Massa. He was active in all civic matters and could be counted upon to assist in all charitable drives that were worthy of support. Taylor was 50 years old and was born in North Carolina and was educated at Biddell and Clark Universities. He served in the Spanish-American War. He is survived by a wife, three brothers and a host of other relatives. He was laid to rest in Crown Hill Cemetery, this city. Taylor, begin his long career in So.

His greatest desire was to give his people the best there was in the Northern Club invaded the South, the Lefluid Giants, of which Rubo-Foster was at that time manager it was thru the persuasion of Foster that Taylor came North and located at West Baden, Indiana where he developed a club that won the championship. After this signal success he moved his club to Indianapolis where he remained until death laid its cold hand on his brow. After years of hard struggle at this point he became a member of the Negro National league and was a prime factor in all its deliberations and much of his health is attributed to this source. When he died he held the vice-presidency of the league. "At the close of the past season dissatisfaction broke out in the ranks of the league and many thought there would be further existence of the same feeling Taylor got out of his sleek and canvassed the East in an effort to persuade the men to continue in organized baseball and then came to the league meeting in Chicago. At this meeting he fought both day and night for the principal of baseball and his great efforts were rewarded by the members of the League accepting unanimously all the things he desired. This is a great trilling to any man. He fought for baseball. He lived for baseball. The diet for baseball. A laing monument to his memory is the A. B. C. Baseball Club. Taylor lived a life that anyone should be proud of and strive to duplicate. He was unafraid to do those things that come to hand and that impressed him as bearing the right mark. The he made many friends he made also a few enemies. But, it is said of those who lose above the level of the average that they create enemies. It is only fitting that the mass of humanity who attended his Thanksgiving those who maimed from afar should pay tribute to his memory. But let us not weep at the loss of such a noble character. We who know him best are sure that he wished no great commotion because of his passing, and in the language of the poet, Bert Rose coe King: When I am dead and when my soul is freed and flies away, When I my earthly chores have done, And I return to clay, Eon when my child journeys to The fright web unknown, Why we and unseen over my corpse My worthless flesh and bone. And please don't say good things of me When I have passed away I mean the things that when I fired You never thought to say You know me now while I still live The life which I have lost. So friends please not butter me, With lies when I am dead. New York Times Online (NY) New York information that the mingham. Through my persuasion Mr. Taylor invaded the north and located at W. Baden, Indiana. While at West Baden he so developed his club that it won the championship. After much disbursement he removed his club to Indianapolis where he remained until his death. As the beginning Indianapolis was a poor baselist region; the morale of the players and patrons was not up to his standard and his work along the line of elevating them was crowned with success. He quickly gained the confidence and goodwill of the people, secured the Federal League Park at Indianapolis. His business quilts won the confidence of the whites to such an extent that when the Federal League Park was sold they interceded for him and secured for his ball club Washington Park. Its present playgrounds, where he draws as many white as colored patrons. In the National Negro League he was the prime factor and much of his illness was attributed to his untimely efforts he put forth in the maintenance of the league of which he was Vice President. At the close of the past season dissatisfaction broke out in the ranks of the League and many thought there would be no further existence of the name of the league the purpose of personalizing the men to continue in Organized Baseball and then came to the League Meeting in Chicago. If fought both day and night for the principles of baseball and his great efforts were rewarded by the members of the League accepting unanimously all the things he needed. This is a great tribute to any man. NAME ADDRESS Cash must accompany all out of town Orders. An ironing board will be sent with such orders.

The fans all over the circuit are strong for going Taylor and the move will prove popular. Champion Of Cleanness BY DAVE WYATT CHICAGO, IL. March 1.—When C. I. Taylor, greatest champion of cleanliness in athletics, wore out the other day, the sport world lost one of its most conspicuous figures. Fair. Just competent, he was not only a representative of intercity of street impatience and inflexible judgement, but he succeeded by sheer force of character in impressing his own personality upon all with whom he came in contact, in a manner that but few men have been able to do. "O. L." as he was affectionately called could walk along the street in almost any city in this country—and in many towns and hamlets too, for that matter—and he recognized repeatedly in every block he played. He had been with the national sport for at least a quarter of a century and probably knew more ball-players than any other man. He was a member of the T.C. Library, U. S. Army during the Spanish American War. He started his baseball career along about 4000 at Birmingham, Alabama. At the time of his death, he was the oldest of a family of seven brothers. He was born at Anderson, S. C. the year 1875. Taylor loved baseball and he seen it grow from the small aerial stage among the Darker people, to the tall oak of amusement for the whole American people. One year after coming north, Taylor required what to himself was his greatest baseball achievement, and one of which he was always justly proud. September 11, 1911 Taylor's West Baden League team defeated the Pittsburgh National League team by the score of 2-1 at West Baden, Ind. Later, Taylor invaded the Indianapolis Ind., and his star continued to assemble. The Taylor A. B. C's baseball club and the C. I. Building which he served should stand as monuments in his untiring energy and undying fame. The passing of C. I. Taylor is a distinct loss to baseball. True, his later experiences as a N. N. League managers were crowned with no such success as his earlier rentures, but his capacity as a manager has been established beyond cavil. Taylor was a strict disciplinarian, a first and brilliant campaign director, a master of baseball strategy. As a man he was somewhat irritable, infinitely secretive, but beneath his roll market exterior of reserve and craft, essentially, fast, sound, in his judgement respected, if not liked, by his associates and subordinates. If Taylor had an enemy I certainly never heard of it. He was as sentimental and tenderhearted as a child and never let an opportunity go his to aid a friend. I class him with Andrew R. Foster as a man who did wonders for baseball I say, peace to his ashes and I shall never forget him long as I live! He was a grand old sport and a hail Tellow, well met, of the kind that the world needs and appreciates. There was but one C. I Taylor. There may never be another. Sterling, Fearless Leader BY A. Rube Foster CHICAGO, Ill., March 1, L—Like a thunderbolt from a clear sky was the message that was flushed over the entire country by the Associated Press, the saddest news that fatigue or pen can tell—the death of C. I. Taylor, president and sole owner of the Indianaapolis A. B. C. Baseball Club, vice president of the National Association of Colored Professional Baseball Clubs. Vice president of the National Negro League and a pioneer of orel baseball. When the telegram was brought to me a letter of leadership of the soldier experienced by C. Taylor will go down in history as an amoeb among men, recognized commercial as well, as social figure of much prominence and a born leader who had the masses at his command. He was one of those sterling characters, who was fearless in his denunciation of the threats he thought wrong, unanticipated in that he practiced what he preached. His mode of life in every community, size and stage highlighted him the highest commendation, and was a model to fashion or mold the life of any boy who wished to reach the pinnacle of success. C. K. Long Chase Taylor began his baseball career in North Carolina, later he established a club at Birmingham, Alabama. His greatest desire was to help people he best there was in baseball and to help the less fortunate in the world. The St. Louis Argus THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, MARCH 3, 1922 THE AMERICAN WOODMEN TO GIVE AWAY AN AUTOMOBILE He left the meeting a sick man and when the news was flashed of the sorrowlessness of his illness many men regretted the efforts he had put forth then came the news of his death and many believed the wonderful sacrifices he made were in vain. Baseball Will Sadly Miss C. I. TAYLOR I can say without fear of contradiction that Taylor's death is colored baseball's greatest loss. He followed it for more than twenty-five years and was a waker of strength to it. He has travelled with his club all over the United States and Cuba and has left indelible upon the minds of the people a record that will last for ages to come. His place cannot be filled; we can only hope to cumulate the principles he so nobly carried out. As a monument to his memory will remonach the A. B. C.'s Baseball Club of Indianapolis. The person who is always "on pins and needles" usually is a pin-head. A-B-S-O-L-U-T-E-L-Y FREE ..... FREE We will give a large Number Three wash tub (FREE) with every Stand sold for a short time.

Government Officers Cooperate. Southern State Legislatures Make Larger Appropriations. HAMPTON, Vt. Feb. 28—The outstanding need of the landgrant colleges for colored people is a supply of trained teachers—teachers in agriculture and the mechanic arts particularly, but especially in agriculture—teachers who can uphold high standards and who can give their pupils those pupils need. This fact was made clear by the recent Nassau meeting of the heads and other representatives of the colored land-grant colleges, called and presided over by Dr. John T. Tigerf of Washington, D. C. U. S. Commissioner of Education. passed in 1917, in teaching boys and girls in school and helping farmers and farm-housekeepers through funds which are entirely in the hands of State boards of vocational education. Some State boards, he said, have experienced difficulty in finding teachers upon whom they could well spend money. He made a plea for the training of first class teachers and ex-posed his belief that State officials pre-occupied in the work of teacher-training. Education for Colored House-Maker Miss Anna E. Richardson, chief of home-economics, education services. Hon. J. R. Brown. State Superintendent of public instruction for Tennessee, in his address of welcome, expressed the greetings and interest of Gov. Taylor. He staged that 101,000 Negro children in Tennessee, of 160,000 who are of school age, are enrolled in school. There are 306 Negroes in country high schools and 1026 in city high schools, according to superintendent Brown. Leaders Face Big Problem Doctor Tigert emphasized the value of the human element in National progress. He declared that Negroes should be given freely the education they deserve. He referred to $t$, the progress which States like North Carolina and Louisiana have been making in providing educational facilities for Negroes. Dr. A. C. True, director of the States Relations Service, U. S. Department of Agriculture, brought the greetings of Secretary Wallace, Doctor True stated that it is important that the Negro colleges should get a correct idea of their obligations to the people whom they serve, since their work is one phase of a world-wide educational program. "There are still comparatively few good institutions for vocational training," declared Doctor True. "As long as industries were simple and labor was both cheap and abundant, there was comparatively little progress or need of skilled workers. With the application of science to industry, however, there has come a change. The human element in industry is now tremendously important, and we cannot have prosperous industrial communities without trained workers. Education Is. Needed for All Groups *Vocational education is not narrow.* It must include the principles and fundamentals of the business and its relation to community life. *Negroes need of course, a certain number of persons who will be proficient in well as mechanical and farmers. There will be gifted Negroes in music, in art, and in literature, who must have the training that is suited to their needs. As with other races, however, the majority will be engaged in the more mechanical pursuits. There must be teachers who are well trained to teach others to to farm and how to keep house. Negro Farmers Are Assets There are 925,000 Negro farmers in the United States, or 12.5 percent of the total number of farmers. Over 700,000 of these Negro farmers tenant farmers or farmers. There are about 500,000 Negro farmers who are about 288,000 Negro farm owners. In the case of the Negro farm operators, the land and buildings are valued at two and one quarter billion dollars. "If we can change the standards of living on these farms, which are in charge of Negroes, economic prosperity in general will be likely to increase, because it is so largely dependent on agricultural agents. We are about 160 Negro farm-demonstration agents and about so home-demonstration agents who are working under the U. S. Department of Agriculture. There are also two Negro special agents. "The U. S. Department of Agriculture would like to develop this work further. Yet Negroes should give it a larger fund for this purpose our greatest difficulty would be to find people with the requisite training and experience. Therefore, the land-grant colleges should try to turn them out. They need more money for this purpose." Treadier-Training Interest Officials Charles H. Lane, chief of the agricultural education service of the Federal Board for Vocational Education outlined the progress which has been made under the Smith-Hughes Act. Every Negro with race and community pride owes it to himself to aid this movement. With the home office here another avenue will be opened for the Negro boys and girls who graduate from our schools. Its presence will be an incentive to the young Negro to do big things. Valuable prices will be given to the contestants who qualify and secure the largest number of members during the drive. Elsewhere in this issue will be found a description of the automobile which will be the capital price. The contest will be open to any person who qualifies before the beginning of Our Drive Tuesday, March 14. Get in touch now with the office and begin living up your prospects.

THE TRADE MAKER PAGES 7 TO 10 passed in 1917, in teaching boys and girls in school and helping farmers and farm-housekeepers through fnds which are entirely in the hands of State boards of vocational education, Some State boards, he said, have excelled efficiently in finding teachers who are good and spend money. He made a plan for the making of first class teachers and expressed his belief that State officials are especially interested in the work of teacher-training. Education for Colored Home-Makers Miss Anna E. Richardson, chief of home-economics education service of the Federal Board for Vocational Education, paid a tribute to the excelled, work of the home-economics supervisors who are at work in the Southern States. "There are three things which are to be done," she said, hand-grant colleges for colored grain home-makers, train for occupations connected with home-making work and all related activities, and train teachers. Those teachers must know what home making they must have a good general education and a good technical, or professional training." Miss Richardson announced that Miss Carrie Alberta Lyford, director of the Hampton Institute Home-Economic School, had been generously released to make a study of the home-economies problems which colored schools are facing. Negro Institutions Win Publa Support William J. Hate of Nashville, president of the Tennessee Agricultural and Industrial State Normal School, stated that in 1900 three white and one colored normal schools were established in Tennessee. "The first year $15,000, were given by the state for its color land-grant college, while $15,000 were given—and in addition $75,000 were given for houses. "Word went out," said President Hale, "that agricultural meant training Negroes-to cook for white people and that 'industrial' meant training Negro girls to cook for white people." J. S. Clark, president of Southern University, which is located six miles out of Baton Rouge, La., on the banks of the Mississippi, declared that "the colored land-grant colleges have been called upon to do almost everything." Harris, State superintendent of public schools, and Gov. John M. Parker have been qotstanding figures in Louisiana's educational program. The first year $10,000 were appropriated for Southern University. The last Legislature appropriated $207,000 for Southern University and also $50,000 for a school for the Negro blind, which has been built on the Southern University Campus. Today 1000 colored people own their own neighborhood of Southern University. The following Committee on Agricultural Curricula were appointed: (1) High School Division I, O. Spencer, chairman and Wm. J. Hale, secretary; (2) Junior College Division I - M. Fayrot, chairman and James B. Dudley, secretary; (3) Senior College Division - W. B. Bizzel, chairman and R. S. Wilkison, secretary. A Committee on Financial Standards was appointed—J. E. Gregg, chairman, and J. S. Clark, secretary. A committee on Preparation of Faculty and Standards of Equipment was appointed—J. C. Futtrall, chairman, and N. B. Young, secretary. The general chairman was Hon. J. B. Brown and the general secretary was Dr. John M. Gandy, president of the State Normal School at Petersburg, Va. 1223 Rosenwald Schools The Conference sent a resolution of appreciation to Julius Rosenwald of Chicago for his cooperation in the rural school-building campaign which is going on throughout the South. Today there are 1223 Rosenwald Schools, with a teacher capacity of 2012, built at a total cost of $4,012,923, which has been contributed as follows. Negroes $1,190,165; whites $277,905; public funds $1,840,210; Rosenwald aid. $755,880. Dr. Walton C. John of Washington, D.C., specialist in land-grant college statistics, U. S. Bureau of Education, who served as the executive secretary of the conference, stated, the principal objects of this meeting of leaders in colored land-grant college work; the revision of courses of study in agriculture and home economies; the improvement of equipment; the development of higher standards; and the stimulation of more interest so as to secure more adequate financial, support for the colored land-grant-col Associated Negro Press NEW YORK N. Y. March 1—Marc Garvey when hailed before the federal court here recently made a plea that subordinates and not he were responsible for the trouble. He said that during his absence a great state of demoralization went on in the Black Star Line did that when he was able to return to the United States about the 15. of July 1921, he was confronted with a state of disorganization most alarming. Mr. Garvey said that upon investigation he found that the N. K. Fultz Whether, should have been accused since April and that he had every reason to believe that a statute would either be at anchor in New York City or had failed for the same reason in Arden.

LIBERTY CONGREGATIONAL The Congregational Mission in fellowship of prayer mites with hundreds of thousands in meditation on the supreme sacrifice that has worked redemption in millions of lives. The tenure season should remind us that our Christian lives must be murshed by prayer and therefore the Church calls its members to unite only in the study of the Scriptures and Prayer which means the tinking of our lives and work with the power of God. The Work Watch and Pray spirit is meeting with hearty response from the Congregational membership, the one effect is to raise $1,000 (that it may receive an additional $1,000 from the Denomination before the close of April. As our membership is small, we here call us the public and the Christian Churches to help us for this, which will be appropriated to a much needed Congregational Church in St. Louis. **It is very evident that the church is united and earnest in its effort to work.

COLONEL YOUNG WAS READY WHEN THE FINAL BUGLE SOUNDED "TAPS" Never Got Over The Blow That Prevented Him From Going To France, But He Died Like A Soldier. Associated. Negro Press. WASHINGTON, D. C. March 1.—"Colonel Charles Young was ready for the roll call when the final bugle sounded 'taps.'" This is the testimony brought to the people of the United States, direct from the last hours of Colonel Young by Henry O. Atwood, lifelong friend and military associate. Captain Atwood has now reached the United States direct from Mays, and gave this information to a representative of the Associated Negro Press, Captain Atwood landed in New York, came to his home in Washington, and went on to Wilberforce, Ohio, to bear personal testimonies to Mrs. Charles Young, and take some of the effects of the late Colonel. One of the interesting things that Captain Atwood had was the last passport of Colonel Young, bearing his latest picture. The picture shows lines of notroidered scar and brave suffering. Captain Atwood told the Associated Negro Press that Col. Young never got over the blow that prevented him from going to France during the World War. His attitude was not one of complaint, but the spirit of a soldier to the unarmed born who wanted to be in the thick of the game of war. He was like an athlete preparing for the Olympic games only to be denied entry at the last moment. March 12 Memorial From one end of the country to the other, arrangements are going forward for the occasion of the national memorial. March 12 Nirs. Chas. Young is deeply appreciative of this testimonial of respect, and has informed the Associated Negro Press that the date sel- pected is very fitting, as it is the birthday anniversary of Col. Young, who would have been fifty-seven years old on that date. Gen. John I. Pershing, in an exclusive interview with a representative of the Associated Negro Press, expressed great interest in the occasion saying; "Colonel Young and I were endets at West Point together, and I never knew a liner man; he was held in the highest esteem by all. "We did not see much of each other," continued General Pershing, "after leaving West Point, until the occasion in Mexico." "I think it very fitting that Colonel Young's memory should be revered." General Pershing has prepared a special tribute to Colonel Young for the memorial occasion. J. W. Johnson Pays Tribute James W. Johnson, Secretary of The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, informed the Associated Negro Press that Robert W. Bargall, Director of Branches, had been asked to notify all branches of the memorial occasion. For the event Mr. Johnson issued the following statement: "If is fitting that, as the Associated Negro Press proposes, there should be national memorial services on Sunday March 12, as a testimony of respect to the late Col. Chas. Young, S. A. For Colonel Young is individual proof positive of the capability of the American Negro. "Not only was he graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point, the third Colored man to be graduated there, but he attained the highest military rank ever held by any Colored man in this country. His services to his country included diplomatic duty in the Republic of Liberia. He was not merely an officer, he wa sa man of all-round ability. In him as in the other Colored men who distinguished themselves in public service in America, it is found the highest vindication of those who claim for the Colored man all the opportunities humanly and under the Constitution age his. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People gladly joins with the Associated Negro Press in doing honor to the memory of this distinguished representative of the best ideals of American citizenship." BALTIMORE EDITOR VISITS TUSGEGEE Associated Negro Press TUSKEGEE INST. Ala. March 1—Mr. J. H. Murphy, editor of the Afro-American, Baltimore Maryland, was among the prominent visitors of the Tuskegee Institute, during the past, week. During his stay, Mr. Murphy who is perhaps the Dean of Negro editors, spoke to the student and faculty upon two occasions, pointing out the good of industrial training and urging the students to strike to press forward at all times. He was entertained at dinner by the Twentieth Century Club, on Monday evening. Mr. Murphy was accompanied by his son D F. Murphy, and is enroute to Florida. While at the institute, he was the guest of Dr. R. R. Moton. GILMORE, Ark. March 11. —Bloodhounds played on the trail of Steadman Pence. Colored, who fled after killing his wife and Mother-in-law, lost the scent at the house of Mr. Peace's father, who was arrested and taken to Marion. The father denied that he knew where his son had gone. Peace had been separated from his wife. Monday night he went to the home of her parents, drew a pistol and opened fire. His father-in-law and brother-in-law were slightly wounded. The Creole System THE WEEKLY NEWS Learn Creole Way—4229 St. Ferdinand. Phine Lindell 1136-W.

REFERENCE MATERIAL—Isa. 45:20- 25; 49:5-7; Jonah 1:2-10; Mal. 1:10; 11; John 3:16. PRIMARY TOPIC—God Sends Jonah on an Erand. JUNIOR TOPIC-How God Spared a Wicked City. INCEREMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC -Jonah's Missionary Adventure. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC -The Missionary Teaching of the Book of Jonah. That the book of Jonah is historical we believe for the following reasons: First, its record and use in the Scriptures. That the writers of the Bible intended the impression of its historicity is without the shadow of a doubt. The suggestion that it is a parable is absolutely gratuitous. Second, the unbroken testimony of tradition among the Jews is that it is historic. Third, the testimony of Jesus Christ (Matt. 12:39-41). The words of Jesus Christ are final. 1. Jonah's Second Commission (vv. 1, 2). When called the first time to go to Nineveh, he found the task too great for him. For his unfaithfulness, he was chastised. He repented and God restored his commission. The Lord said to him, "Preach the preaching that I bid thee" (v. 2). God knows how he wants His work done. Happy is the missionary, unlustful. Sunday-school teacher, who preaches God's Word just as He gave it. II. Jonah's Preaching (vv. 3, 4). 1. His hold (v. 3). "Nineveh was an exceeding great city." Not only was the city large, but its inhabitants were noted for their cruelty. 2. His message (v. 4). "Yet forty days and Nineveh shall be overthrown." This means that forty days were given by God for repentance ere the judgment would fail. God is long-suffering, not willing that any should perish, but that all should repent (II Pet. 3:9). Though He is merciful, yet there is a limitation to it. He says, "Yet forty days." III. The Repentance of Nineveh (vy. 5-10). 1. They believed God' (v. 5). They believed that God was speaking to them through the prophet about their sins and impending judgment. 2. They proclaimed a fast (vv. 5-8). The king and people joined sincerely in this movement. The call was for them to turn away from their sins. Their penitence was genuine, for they got merely put on sackcloth, the visible sign of mourning, but they cried to God (v. 9). 3. They reasoned that God would repent (v. 9). Though they had no assurance that God would have mercy, yet they reasoned that the sending of a prophet and the giving of time before the fall of doom implied that God would be merciful if they repented. They were wise in so doing. We today know that God will have mercy if we repent (Acts 3:15). What utter folly to go on in sin in the face of the assurance that God will forgive 5. God's mercy shown (v. 10). "God saw their works that they turned from their evil way." God's eye is omniscient. "Wherever there is a soul who is turning from sin in penitence. He sees. No one has ever wetted over sin unnoticed by God. God religions when a sinner repents (Luke 15:10). In the Book of Jonah we have portrayed the typical history of Israel: "1. Jonah was called to a world mission, and so was Israel. (2) Jonah at first refused compliance with the divine purpose and plan, and so did Israel. (3) Jonah was punished by being cast into the sea, and so was Israel by being dispersed among the nations. (4) Jonah was not lost, but rather especially preserved during this part of his experience, and Israel is not being assimilated by the nations, but being kept for God. (5) Jonah, repentant and cast out by the fish, is restored to life and action again, and Israel, repentant and cast out by the nations, shall be restored to her former national position. (6) Jonah, obedient, goes upon his mission to Nineveh, and Israel obedient, shall ultimately engage in her original mission to the world. (7) Jonah is successful in that his message is acted upon to the salvation of Nineveh, so Israel shall be blessed in that she shall be used to the conversion of the whole world." —Dr. Gray's Commentary. The Apostles Work Wonders. And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people. And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women. —Acts 5:12-14. Death in Life. For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake that the life also of Jesus might made manifest in our mortal flesh. So then death worketh in us, but life in you—II Corinthians 4:11-12.

MT MORIAH BAPTIST The Willing Worker, Club of the Mount Morail Baptist Church of Calvert, Illinois, sponsored the Members Club of sold church, Monday night in the Basement of the church. The program was appropriate and solemn because of the fact the past of sold church died on the 13th of February 1892. He was a man of especially high Christian quality and a real Gospel Pastor. He conducted the church business just as a father, in reality conducted his family affairs. Less than one years service of this high standard brother, made a real favorable spiritual impression, among the many churches of the city of Calvert, Illinois, which impresson was noticeable at his funeral, by the magnificent large per cent of the membership, of the different churches in attentions also non-christian, in all about 1608. This man proved a brave man of the past, the man himself before the apocular grade, a very worthy for others who applied to the ministerial rank to the faith of Rev W. J. W. Clement, the city of Calvert but a great town where they had learned to love. That church taught a man after his real life to fill his pulpit, but that presuppose himself must come with good recommendation from the church of his last personal service, and of the prominent business people where he lives or pastor. Mount Morail Baptist Church is looking for a Christian man for its pastor ability, will not be unable to qualify as pastor. Christianity in Indiana once in the same as a bank or real estate company, in Indiana, city are doing good work, their pastors are apolladid men of the Gospel, calling, in fact, we are proud of them.
