to witness, was seized.
Joining to the chair singing and with assistance, he continued to sing till the first charge of electricity was sent through his body. After electricity had been allowed to drain on a few moments it was burnt off and Wells was examined by a state physician, who pronounced it still alive. Another charge of electricity was sent through his body and another examination was made. At Wells was still alive. Another charge of electricity was sent through his body but with the same results. Success began to leave the death man and convicts who assisted in trapping Wells in the chair, also left. Some of them became deathly sick.
Only a few witnesses were present when the last charges of electricity were sent through his body, and Wells was finally pronounced dead by the state physician. Fully 20 minutes were consumed in putting the Negro tiger death
The electrician is said to have been an auto salesman from Eagard, Members of the honorary commission which ousted E. H. Dempsey, warden and electrician, and an expert in electronics, declined to divulge the name of the electrician.
**Crime Charged With**
James Wells was only 18 years old. He was convicted of murder of a farmer near Monticello, whom he had worked with for some time. It is said that the boy was defending himself against an attack of the farmer, when the latter attempted to whip the boy who had attempted to leave the Treasury's farm. Police laced the crime. Wells escaped but was later arrested, and confessed, telling the circumstances.
**Was At Liberty Once**
Wells was one of the prisoners, who walked out of the state penthionary at the time the notorious Tom Slaughter killed the Warden and escaped after liberating most of the other prisoners. After 36 hours freedom, Slaughter was killed by one of his comrades, Jack Howard, as he slept. James Wells was present at the time of the bandit's death, but volunteered and returned to the prison, hoping that mercy would be extended him. He is said to be eminent and unlucky, and write.
Efforts were made to save his life
through executive memory, but guy,
error Michael you did not interfere.
The last effort to save the life of
the youth was made by a committee
of young men I follow—
We the organized body of the N. M. and Y. W. C. A. of Shorter, Phiander Smith and Arkansas Baptist College hereby implore you, the Governor of the State of Arkansas, to commute the sentence of one, James Welln, who is to be electroquoted Friday morning, March 10th, to life imprisonment, for the following reason: First, the said criminal is under age. It is an evident fact that hone of other races at all age having committed any crime whatsoever, would be in a reform school, rather than with the hardened criminals in the State Prison. Second, the law is unmodified. It is doubtful that he has ever been in jail of a school or Sunday School. For this he is ordinarily and fairly responsible because he had not the advantage of the proper facilities as he of other men have. Thirdly, it means that the law was lying under oppressive conditions which would prevent almost any hope to commit a crime that would bring freedom.
James Wells.

Thumbly submitted.

CAN CHANGE BLACK TO WHITE, PROF. CLAIMS
Bace Problem Said To. Be Solved By Brazilian Scientist Who Claims Color Of People Can Be Changed By New Invention.
BIO JANIERO, Brazil, March 10—There will be no further difference in color of peoples, of the earth if the claims of a young Brazilian scientist, who says that he had discovered a process by which coloured people can be returned to a pure white are true. Brazilians, who know no color line and whose country and government are made up of the best strains and greatest abilities of distinctions regardless of color, are reported to have heralded the announcement of a means to change the color of people with scorn and derision but it is thought that the claims of the young Brazilian scientist will meet with a different reception in the world where more than one million of Americans are held in a condition of new-slavery shorthand and only because of a difference in color which they inherit from their remote ancestors.
Professor Pedrocio, the scientist, also lays claim to an invention by which the dead can be brought back to life. An American tourist, representing some strong United States financial interests, is reported as spitting than Prof. Pedrocio can have ready an ample financial backup if he cares to bring his two great inventions to the United States where it is thought that his first invention will finally so sq apua pu mopau nzual sq apua second invention will be greedily purchased by rich men and women who by their money, attempt to have their heaven while on earth.

To their reunion Lyons went to California in search of god. The wife took on the study of nursing under a the Gaines of Cheinnatt, and received as her first assignment the case of George Collier at Welsburg, Germany, a brother of Mrs. Henry Hildbrook of St. Louis.
Following the death of Collier, she nursed his wife in Paris. Upon returning to this country she went to China with Mrs. Ethan Allen Hitchcock, whose husband was a ten merchant. A few years later she went to Egypt and made a trip up the Nile with the family of Dwight Collier.

BOOKER T. WASHINGTON MEMORIAL COMMENDED BY PROMINENT AMERICANS
TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE. Ala., Mar. 22. Honorable Newton D. Baker, former Secretary of War, in a letter to Secretary R. M. Hutchison, Principal of Tuskegee Institute institute; "If one looks back twenty-five years, he can not fall to realize that the situation of the Negro in the United States is immeasurable better than it was. I doubt whether any single factor has contributed so much to the better situation as did the life work, example and teaching of Booker Washington." Honorable Theodore Roosevelt, Assistant Secretary of the Navy, in commenting upon the unwilling of the Memorial says of Booker T. Washington that "he was really a great man because he combined practical achievement with idealism." Honorable Josephus Daniels, former Secretary of the Navy is "sure that the people of the whole country of all creeds and races will be interested in the unilling of the statue to T. Washington. His career illustrates the possibilities to the men of his race in the South. ** Booker T. Washington looked for, development for his race from friendly relations among the white people, among whom they dwelt, and from whom he always secured co-operation. His statue will therefore stand for the races and better advantages for better understanding between his own race."
Honorable Clark Howell, Editor of the Atlanta Constitution, says: "I do not hesitate to say that Booker Washington stands pre-eminent as having rendered the most conspicuous service of any member of life race, not only in improving the condition of the race but in standing between the two races as in essential to the welfare of both."
The Memorial which cuts about $25,000 and is in the sight of the colored people in America, represents individual contributions from more than 50,000 colored people. This dedication on the part of the colored people themselves to the ideas for which Booker Washington stood is also shown in the commemoration of Bay St. Bernard Baker who was a pioneer in the South. I am proud to have been a member of the Bay St. Bernard Baker community for a lifetime.
SENATE HEARING ON ANTI-MOB BILL IS EXPECTED SOON

Associated Negro Press.
WASHINGTON, D. C.; Mur. 22—There have been some notable charges of activity on the part of Republican members of Congress in recent weeks, Students of psychology who may be studying atmosphere, will get some valuable lessons by visiting the nation's capital.
The treaties, the tariff, and the soldier bonus, together in a way just as important, Haiti, St. Paul Damnage the Liberian loan, the Dye Ant-Lynchism furnishing food for thought as well as action.
President Harding, while greatly interested in all these subjects, 18 permitting Congress to have full sway in the matter legislation.
The hearings on Haiti, which are being conducted by the committee of which Senator Medill McCormick of Illinois, is Chairman, are nearing an end. General Russell is High Commissioner for Haiti, appointed by President Harding, is now in that country and has begun the serious performance of his duties.

SOUTH AFRICAN STRIKE BROKEN BY THE BRITISH
Associated Negro Press.
JOHANNESBURG. South - Africa
(by cable) Mar. 22. Hard fighting
behind the government forces has
completely defeated the south of the
African strikers' resolution. Bomb
and Forsdahl strengthens of the
rebels have fallen to the police forces.
For a time the situation hobbled sessions and a war of the races was predicted as an accompaniment of the fight labor was making against capital. In the union of South Africa controlled by England there are 1,500,000 whites and about 6,000,000 Kaffirs. The Colored men are armed. Many of them have gained some education, and the idea of self-determination is becoming unimbedded among them. White men are chiefly employed in the gold mines. When they struck several months ago against a reduction in wages, the mine owners retaliated by employing cleaner Colored labor. The strikers killed several Kaffirs and as the African here is a dangerous element when he is arrested, it was feared that the fight of white men against white men would encourage the, blacks to wipe all of them out. The natives however remained cool and resisted the efforts of the strikers to draw them into the fracas. Gen Jan Smuts seems to have won their confidence but it is said that he too, fears the reaction when the Kaffirs have had time to talk over the killing and brutal murders among the native value workers. Another element of the situation is the presence of a large Boer element who hate the British. Many of them focked in the strikers and it is said that if the natives had joined forces Great Britain would minus another valuable colony. London has been watching the situation carefully.

TWENTY-SIX HOWARD UNIV. MEDICAL GIRLS ORGANIZE SORORITY
Female Students In Medical, Dental And Pharmaceutical Departments Have Only Organization Of Its Kind.
HOWARD UNIVERSITY—Twenty-six Howard University Medical girls met and organized a surity, known as the Rho Psl Phl, comprising girls of the Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical departments exclusively. These serious minded girls felt the need of a closer minor in fellowship with the standards, stimulations to greater efforts, encouragement and dissimilation for the advancement of colored women of the Medical sciences.
These sturdy young ladies need the hearty co-operation of every one interrelated in the women of the professional world. The medical school faculty, the other fraternities and sororities of Howard University, (especially the Chi Delta Mu Medical fraternity) extend their congratulations and sincere wishes for the prosperity of this morality.
This is the greatest movement undertaken by women of any of the professional schools in America, and should these young indies be successful in carrying out their aim, the medical profession will be put on a higher plane, because, "No race can rise higher than its womanhood." The Rho Pui Phi hopes to organize Chapters in every Medical school. The Himalayan University Medical school host of thirty-six young women and hope this movement will be the means of matching young women to enter the different branches of the medical professions.
Have you the patience to plan all the work you attempt: the course to wake through means of equal opportunity to work for women and women to make it possible.

YNCHING LAWS
Democratic Senator From Missouri Tells A Committee The Bill As Passed By The House Is Fake To Catch Votes.
Declare It Is Unconstitutional And He Can Not Vote For It, But Would Support A State Bill.
United States Senator, Hon. James A. Reed, gave an attentive address to a committee of representative citizens in his suite at the Jefferson Hotel last Saturday.
The Committee told the senator that their mission was to ask his support of the Anti-lynching bill which is now in the hands of the Judiciary Committee of the Senate of which Senator Reed is a member.
After listening to the committee, Senator Reed said, "Gentlemen I am sorry I cannot say what you want me to say. I must be honest with you about, this matter. No man is any more opposed to lynching than I am. A mob who lynches a man black or white should be dealt with by the law."
Those who are supporting this bill know its unconstitutional. The bill is a fake put over on you people to get your vote."
When asked, what remedy he had to offer against lynching, Mr. Reed said that the States should pass such laws penalizing counties where lynchings occur. He also stated that he favored such a law for Missouri and would be willing to lend his influence and work for such a law in the state.
When asked if he thought the Anti-lynching bill which is now before the Senate would pass that body, he said if it did pass, the Supreme Court would declare it unconstitutional.
When his attention was called to the fact that such an exattorney General Wickramam, ex attorney General Gregory, Supreme Chief Justice Taff, Present Attorney General Dougherty Horn, Morefield Story and other prominent lawyers had expressed their opinion that the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill was constitutional, Mr. Reed and he had not seen any of their written opinion. He added, "Gentlemen I have sworn to support the constitution of the United States, and I cannot vote for a bill which I believe to be unconstitutional."

RUTH SHELTON'S PLAY
Just whether it was the fame of that Drole comedy, "Parson Dew Drop's Bride" or the activity of Mrs. Shelton, and members of the Willing Workers, Club that attracted such a large crowd to Lane Tabernacle Wednesday night the 15th will perhaps go undeclared. But we will dismiss the matter with due credit to Mrs. Shelton, and a like amount to Mrs. E. Macleane, president of the Willing Workers' Club, Mrs. Jesse Cavdess, the secretary and Mr. R. O. Person, the treasurer. But the credit for entertaining that huge audience goes to that well select cast of characters. And they certainly did it well. Perhaps the majority of the audience will with the writer of the novel H. J. bovey, and Mrs. O. Frain, were two of the entire cast of 15 questioners. Nor did the roles they played give them any better advantage, but it was the excellent and fearless deliverance which both these ladies possessed that made them more noticeable. Mrs. J. W. Vaughn, as sister conception, president of the Blue Ridge Church Swing Circle was well suited for the role. And Dr. N. O. Irney, as Parson Dew Drop was excellent. Mrs. Shelton only mistake in writing the play seems to lie in the punishment of Lilly Bell and May Bell二 twin daughters of Parson Dew Drop who are put to bed without a good night kiss from an old maid aunt. To go to bed without having to kiss an old maid aunt good night would be no punishment, but rather a joy to the modern Girl or Boy.

strange love between these two characters and the many vices includes which undergone before a perfect understanding is finally established between them. Charles Kay in "R. S. V. P." will be featured on Sunday. In this picture Kay comes into a type, the role of an artist who is struggling for a living when he might be surrounded in clover, simply because he wants to maintain his dependence. The type adds a new one to the many he has already given the screen.

These publicity artists represent to their clients the view of the magazine—and they do occasionally.
"Naturally, the newspaper man is more or less resentful at these attempts to use his newspaper. I doubt if you realize how greatly the newspaper man's mall is burdened with this free publicity propaganda. I have just gone through my waste-paper basket after disposing of my mail this morning. I find reposing therein severer correspondent letters, circulars of this newspaper day is not a good day for this shift. Day is the real harvest."
Then and this is really getting down to the answer to your country, the newspaper man has advertising space for sale. It is the department that helps to make the ghost walk on Saturday night. That which happens to his newspaper as news or editorial is perfectly accepted by the all-trying power designated advertising matter. If you wish to nominate the public with your business, wish to go some distance of the question in order to understand of your needs, your services your rights the newspaper advertising commiss offer you the most kind of service for this purpose. If you tell the people frankly and fully just what you feel this people should know, the police acting upon such matters usually exerts. The people have been offered to read advertisements. If you have a message the advertisement will carry if straight home, after the day of the free publicity export if he lives had a day, that would allow advertisement to be made, which would allow him to make it possible to be entirely gone.

The "jimcrow" heroes who are continually reminding "the North is no better than the South" know they living along the river is either such, the presence of the colored people is ten thousand black people in the South than in the North. Nobility per cent of the unchained news. In the South, and ALL of the disfranchisement and timeworn laws.
A little instance which is illustrating. A Colored man was arrested in Chicago last week charged with having assaulted a white woman with a club breaking her skull. A doctor diagnosed his sickness and admitted to the persecutive hospital for treatment. What would have happened in doctor? What this what did happen in Georgia, first summer when no white woman was arrested. A Colored man shot, white man and he was shot to a hospital where he died that was shot by a white man. He was white man but not to the hospital. The woman colored man and friend him. Was arrested at finding that he was dead, the man broke into the dead room on the corpse, carried it to a crumon. The charged remains were then returned to the police. America Day. To the Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ and Twelve one. The Angola.

case, in that we are not in the least surprised at anything Link Johnson does in his efforts to land a job for himself. There are millions of his race whom he cannot betray, for they will never trust him again.
Mr. Davis says this, Link Johnson makes his living as a "leader and publicist." We are wondering if Davies meant, as confidence map and graffter, "So far as we can learn, he has no visible means of support. If he had any law practices in Georgia, doubtless he has lost it by hanging around Washington trying to get a job. There seemed to be an opportunity for a little graft around the so-called Legislative Relief headquarters of Washington, but we are quite sure that the public is getting wise and has about quit sending in their hard earnings. Link Johnson is at the head in this movement.
If Henry Lincoln Johnson must make a living by practicing his profession as a lawyer, so he so proudly boasts, who the name of self respect don't he quit begging for a job and go at it. You can't be a beggar and a leader too.

In inay legilies the educated man who does not use his title, or degrees at every ship is not as well known as the man who does. In many of the latter often represent the true man who readily accept certain emoluments from whites who wish to necumph subtle deeds. Inquisites to the law. But names which are not used in the law for forbidden Negroes are given without hesitation. Many of these Negroes of course, are honest and well meaning, and out of their homes and sins have come some of the most treasonable harbors of the American Negro.
But the abstention with which titles and degrees have been handed some has led others to acquire or assume them plausibly and disallowly, some schools, for instance, still "suffer" induction. Institutions, like schools, are particularly well equipped and more deserving man is not sought. Often it appears such degrees are bought or gotten by favoritism. In many cases they are "Tak'u outright." Have you not seen people who arrogate themselves, no doubt, to be the best of them? That, and I'm. Aren't their brains variegated with a thick coat of ignorance, and aren't they forewarned proof to intelligence?
We believe it should be widely published in Negro papers and all Negro literature that the highest rule and American citizen can neern is "MISTER."
Mr. President Wilson holds the record for earned and conquered degrees in America, but during the height of his degrees he was known as "Mr. Wilson" or "Wilson." Every man who has earned a degree from an accredited school and desires to use it, let him in it. But comprehensively, would Negro to teach the stifling of Professor to every Jazz layer, and back woods school teacher, of Doctor's every preacher and of Judge to every lawyer.

"Old Black Mammy"
There is a type of white person who
has the greatest possible
evidence of a wonderful love for
colored folk can be best shown by
a ward picture of his deep love for
some old, "Black Mammy". Somewhat it
is necessary for a self respecting colored
man to ail and listen to such heart-
rending remembrances but I have often
wondered if there is any greater
insult to the intelligence of a
Nerog than to find himself in a situation where
respectment of this reference to the old
mammy is inexperienced.
Undoubtedly the loyalty and supreme self sacrifice of those members of a past generation of Negroes who by their serility, govelling to their own interests, have taken all conditions to the interest of their masters holds something of story for our race. Nevertheless there are few coloured folk who have ever heard a white person whose devotion to a good cause and whose courage and self-sacrifice which would prove him aware of the utter devotion and loyalty of all Negroes to the nation of which we are a part and the flag which we have served against every assailant has ever had. Therein the mission is.
Our Greatest Crime
The most of our white ill users our greatest crime is of oppressive tosubmit oppressive war and advocate a mixing of all blood into the American except the Negroes' blood. In almost the same breath great thinker emulates war but advocates war from even the finest and most intellective, the wirlike spirit of those of his ancestors which has made the present day greatness of the white rose possible, is the only they worth recognizing, is the such men approve of right and wrong, is the such people, jigsle, acceptance of conflicts fundamentally wrong, would be impossible and they have nothing but contempt for a race or class which can accept such.
Expedient Christianity
When "the barbarians prognostitors of present day dominance races swept from their northern plains and flooded the cultured Mediterranean countries they found Christianity a work of art. They part of the plan of governments: Variste barbarians white rulers' buckles Christianity and fast. They finally accepted a conditional form of Christianity until James of England and John of France don't believe barbarian ideas are ruling the Christian church today first read the Sermon on the Mount, then, Mr. Black Man, go south and stick your head inside a white church. You'll get an illustration of the man's arm, who served the Man's Sorrows that will open your eyes, wide, for the few minutes you will have to live before the mole burn your black body.
west of the city last Wednesday afternoon. The man's body with the hands behind his back, was still warm. Fresh, automobile tracks marked the grounds near the jacence. There was no indication of the motive of the hanging. Tompkins appeared to be about 20 years old and was of frail physique. The lynching is the first in Indianapolis in twenty years.

CHICAGO, Ill. Mar. 22-100 employee of the Wholesale Grocery Company were thrown into confusion early in Williams Colored, fired at Samuel Brown during an alteration as some work they were assigned to do. The shot fired at Brown hit the dof of William Rhee, manager. He was not injured. Severely lapsed urine was failed at the sound of the gun when home by the Chicago Avenue police.
Those of us who are, wise will do most of our thinking about the present and the future because as Blanche E. Novell says, "If we turn back and try to live in the past, we will travel until we are lost in the midst of time."

WILLS DANGEROUS CONTENDER SAYS N.Y.SPORT WRITER
Another Black Heavyweight Champion Of The World Loomed. When. Power, Speed And Accuracy Of Norfolk K, Q., Was Shown
George B. Underwood, special sports writer for the New York Evening Telegram and box-tighter defester of national renown, put the quietus on account of motion regarding the recent Wilts-Norfolk earthquake, published by the Telegram, the following impresses us as being 'one of' the clearest accounts of the fight and about the best prognostication of the possibilities of the results of a Wilts-Dempsey go that we have seen and we publish it for the information of our readers;
NEW YORK, N. Y., March 22—11 Jack Dempsey as the little birds say, preparing to take a steamer to Europe and fatten the exchequer with a theatrical tour and a June match with Carpenter,ditching the proposed match with Wills entirely or postpending it indefinitely in hopes of something coming up to prevent it, many will consider him a wise young man.
The distance between the poles is not greater than the difference between a match with Carpenter and a clash with Wills—the Harry Wills who knocked out Kid Norfolk after eighty-seven seconds of boxing in the second match in Madison Square Garden last Thursday. Dempsey never has faced a man the equil of the giant but little and sinewy black man, strong as he is big, fast as he is strong and as accurate in hitting as he is powerful, whose double right hand punch to heart and jaw fattened Norfolk like the prowerful pancake soon after the gong had signalled the start of the second round.
The punches were so swiftly terrible, shot in so, short, with the men's bodies shutting off the view, except to those who happened to be at just a right angle, that a majority of the spectators did not know what Norfolk had been hit with.
They only saw the smaller Negro fitted in the air and sent hurling backwards, each force that his head figuratively hung on the puttback and canvassed oken boards.
It only was natural that some of the naturally suspicious ones, as well as those who had been suspicious by rumors and reports that preceded the contest, should shake their heads at one another and remark: "I never saw a punch landed."
For the benefit of those who did not happen to be at the angle where the finishing blows delivered by Wilts could be seen, exactly what happened as seen by the writer, and which facts are supported by both Referee William Mild, McPortland and Judge Arthur McKinnon, follows:
When the men came together at the start of the second round Willa kneeed in a lift hand uppercut. Norfolk tore in a close hand pounded the body. As the black arms were swishing and black hands bobbing at close quarters, who carries his right arm low and cold, clenched in. In what the fighters call a "rocked" massacre and dully drove in his black boulder of a list.
The glove, not traveling more than four inches crashed" into "Norfolk's midsection, just under the ribs on the left side. Quick as a flash Wills turned the blow-sipper to the jaw, catching Norfolk, already weakened, by the body snush, flush on the point.
The power behind the punch was terrific. It lifted the smaller Negro off his feet and turned him in the air so his head struck the ring canvas with a thud.
When Norfolk struck the floor his mouth was wide open and his eyes rolled back so scarcely nothing but the whites showed. We were close enough to have reached dyer and touched the Kid. His eyeballs looked just as those of the late Mickey Shannon did. The night that unfortunate boxer accidently was killed through his head coming in contact with the boards in the ring in Newark.
Dr. Walker, the official physician of the State Athletic Commission was so startled by the look of Norfolk's eyes that he exclaimed excitedly, "I'm afraid he'll never get up!" I'm afraid he'll never get up!"
The minute, Norfolk went, down Judge Arthur McGovern, who officiated as auxiliary timekeeper, rose and started calling off the seconds by the watch. Referee McPartland accompanied him.
At "six" Norfolk writed convulsively and rolled over on his stomach, paving wildly at the caverns. Instinct brought him to his feet just as the count was completed. Dr. Walker was so afraid that McParkland might not have realized the count was over before Norfolk was on his feet and so might permit him to confine that he cried:
"You counted him out. Mr. Murmurial! for him! Heck'd in a bad deal."
Norfolk! Still Danced.
Norfolk helped incheverely as Me-
kellie helped in his corner. He
did not drink, did not
know what he was doing.
unther. Wills enforced a superiority of 35'-4 pounds in solid fighting weight and an added advantage in reach and height. Norfolk's actions also indicated that the bant was to be waged strictly on its merits and was not to be governed by any of the secret agreements that frequently are made between ring gentlemen of color. Wills backed up his great weight and punching power with wonderful speed and agility. "Little and sinely, he handled his great bulk with a feline, animal grame. He is "well marred, "The Black Panther." No boxer ever boasted a more appropriate, nom de guerre.
We never looked upon a more physi-
solid formidable fighting man than
last Thursday night's winner. He
was so trim and itlessome, tapered
from shoulder, to waist and was so
lean of limb that he seemed to belie
the fact that he tipped the beam at
211. 3-4 pounds.
**Wills at Trigger Edge**
The muscles writhled like five
things across his great arms and
shoulders and stood in hard ridges
under the chony sheath of his broad
back. He tapered in almost feminine
contour to the waist, the front of
which was of that curvinged "wash-
board appearance upholstered with
a single ounce of fatty" tissue.
He was lean and wiry as a pit bulldog
trained to the trigger edge.
Wills in action was a revelation.
He was twice as fast as he was when he fought Fulton in Newark a year ago.
He had not worked, a minute last night when it dawned—upon us that Wills must have been under a pull in the first two rounds with Fulton and that he must have "carried" the Minnesota plasterer through the first two rounds. The Wills of last night would have battered Fulton to helplessness inside of thirty seconds.
If Wills enters the ring against Dempsey with the same nerve and confidence with which he 'opposed Norfolk last night' he will whip the champion, Harry is bigger, stronger, faster and a harder puncher than Jack. If Dempsey retains the title it will be through bulldog courage and the mental edge.
Outgaming Wills seems to be the jone quality that will retain the title for Dempsey if Jack and Harry ever crawl into the same roped square at the same time.
Dempsey will have to take second hand evidence of what transpired last Thursday night. Jack had intended being at the ringside to get a peek at his only logical rival in action. But Father Time frustrated the plans.
Wills and Norfolk were scheduled to enter the ring at, 10 o'clock, but knockouts in the preliminaries cleared the decks for the main go at 9:17 o'clock. It was about 9:30 when Wills and Norfolk swung into action and the finish came four minutes and twenty-eight seconds before Dempsey had gone on his act at the Hippodrome, particularly, the splendidly conditioned and gaming for Earl Norfolk of last night, is a particularly hard man to fight. Wills, however, matched speed with speed, cornered the smaller man and had little difficulty hitting the target.
The Opening Round
After a few seconds of boxing early in the first round in watch Norfolk got inside and worked on the body. Wills hooked a left to the head and crossed with his right. A second later he repeated the stunt. Norfolk kept holding. On the break Wills took his left hand and Norfolk denied in close and employing a pretty shift heaed a terrific left to the jaw. It would have flooded the average heavyweight. It only riled Wills.
Harry lashed a left to the body and a right to the head and Norfolk took it on the run. Wills glided across the ring andashed out with a long left and right which Norfolk failed to block or evade. Norfolk got in close and held desperately. Again on the break. Wills stepped back with his hutch arms waving aloft.
"You don't have to do that, Harry," snapped referee McKearland. "What do you think you're doing, swimmer?" "I'm not taking any chances of being accused of hitting on the breakaway," replied Wills. "Before the bout when the men were getting their instructions, Lee Flynn, Norfolk's manager apparently trying to get 'Wills' goat," kept an a-flow of talk against hitting on the breaks. That was why Wills kept doing the arm-waying stunt. He feared an attempt would be made to disqualify him for alleged illegal hitting.
After the break on the last named clinch in the first round. Wills nailed Norfolk with an overhand right knocking him off his feet. Norfolk was up before the count was started. Wills landed another overhand right and then, hashed out with a club-like left hand, landed the length of the ring. A Second later Norfolk landed an unintentional low left. After a clinch Norfolk jabbed with his left. Wills missed with a left at the bell.
What happened in the second round already has been told.

When Black Meets White
By John Louis Hill
For Associated Negro Press.
The Star of Empire took to Westward course, until it went down behind the American Continent to rise no more. Beyond our western horizon there are no new lands to discover, no new worlds to conquer. Civilization's last great venture was into the whirl of America. When the builders of this Republic carried it from the wilderness, wrested it from the savage and consecrated it to the cause of freedom, they knew not that they were clearing the battle-ground upon which, ultimately, would be staged the decisive conflicts between human theories and philosophies, social cuts and racial differences. Already from one struggle in which the status of a race was the main issue, the land was drenched in blood and billeted with graves. It remains to be seen whether those in the future argo to be bloodless victories its. "Truth goes marching on."
Just now we are in a crisis period of American history, at a turning point upon which the destiny of civilization may be hinged.
While modern achievement, scientific invention with all the material devices of the times have made neighbors of all nations, our real problems are national—not international; internal—not external. Present international conditions compel our attention to foreign relationships, but if we regard foreign affairs to the neglect of home affairs, we are inviting both national and international disaster.
Someone has said, "There is a popular superstition that a Special Providence takes care of idios, infants, and the United States." Taking too much for granted is an American weakness. We go on our way, "assuming that everything is all right. If there be any real dangers, most of us assume that others will remedy them. If anything is wrong morally, we assume that the preachers and churches will correct that; if anything is wrong with the government, we assume that the law-makers and law executives will look after that.
Our present and necessary task is a revival of Americanism with a complete harmonization* and adjustment of the various racial and international elements among us to the fundamental principles of the Constitution of the United States. Falling in this we must inevitably fall short of our national dealings. A new zeel gelst in harmony with the spirit of our Fathers, must be created, for without such a zeel, we cannot oppose the opinion and in accord with the Constitution will render the Constitution of no effect. Public opinion really is the court of final appeal, because patriotic standards are fixed and maintained only in the minds and conscience of the people as whole.
With this task of racial adjustment to the principles of Americanism there comes to us as a people a splendid opportunity to be of service to the whole world. It is up to us to work out demonstrate and exhibit to the contending nations of earth the face that such a thing as racial harmony, racial fraternity, and racial co-operation is possible. Indeed, if universal peace between the races and world widg fraternity among the races ever becomes a fact, it must first be accomplished inside America. Has not the All Wise in its providence brought this about? Is not the clock of destiny now striking the momentous hour when the votes of the races and nations represented were all, as United Americans, lifted in harmony and unison shall proclaim to the world that in this goodly land racial peace is a reality?
In bringing about this conditions of America inside, the first step is that of complete adjustment of the differences between the white man and the Negro.
In the future what is going to happen when Black meets white?
With all of us, both black and white, this is the first phase of the race problem. Indeed, with most of us it has been considered the race problem. And, while the rest of this book is devoted to this particular feature of racial relations, it being the first to be adjusted, it is by no means the most difficult racial problem. This is true because, because the Nation has no money in asset and never a liability to this Nation. His loyalty to his masters in slavery and to his country in freedom was never questioned.

WASHINGTON, D.C. Mar. 22
That the material and moral interests of the whole country are involved in the question of Negro education is the substance of an interview given on by Dr. John J. Tigert, United States Commissioner of Education, on his return from a recent conference in Nashville with the heads of "22 State and Federal Land Grant Colleges for Negroes. The fact that Dr. Tigert is a native of Tennessee and has always lived in the South adds significance to his statement, which follows in full:
"The neglect of Negro education has resulted in an immense loss to the country. It has not only affected the material prosperity, especially of the South, where the Negro population is greatest, but has likewise affected the standard of living and the character of citizenship, and has injured the morals of our people. If we had long ago made provision for the technical education of our Negro population, the increase in the value of our products, both agricultural and manufac-turing would have been financially good. The intangible and financial benefits which would have been acquired can currently be estimated, but we do form any estimate of what would have been the effect upon the Negro himself, by duty of our congress, arguing admission and increasing the value in a citizen."

M. E. CHURCH GIVES
AWAY 15,000 MEALS
IN TWO MONTHS
Associated Negro Press.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Mar. 8-
East Calkary M. E. Church at Broad
and Fitzwater streets here, 6 of which
Rev. Charles A. Tindley is pastor, has
been demonstrating the modern spirit
of Christianity. Since January 9,
more than 15,000 meals have been
given to destitute men. Colored and
White; and 1000 men have been housed.
As many as 381 men in a single
day have been fed. Then an arrangement with the Western Bath
House (the church paying for the
same) all of the homeless men were
allowed to go there for baths.
The doors of the church have been thrown open from 12 to 2 each day and men of all nations and conditions have found shelter and food. A large table seating 60 persons was placed in the Sunday School room and here generous members of the church served them a free dinner. No matter how dirty or rugged a man was; no matter whether he came from the west coast of Africa, England, Oregon or Alabama—his need was his only card of admission. At least one third of the men helped have been white men, sufficiently fit for life, many helpless men have been allowed to sleep in the church at night, and paid levings provided for others. Numbers of the men were given entire outfits of clothing and employment secured for them.
Discovered among the mep was the grandson (whife) of the man who, during slavery, owned the Rev. Charles A. Tindley, new pastor of this church. Another little lad from Africa was the sole survivor of a shipwrecked crew. Men with musket and rifle professions, are being helped to regain their footfall in the world and become useful citizens.
The most stirring revival in the hiding the past two months. The history of the church has been held dur- have been 1200 conversions, and average daily of 25 men. Many of these have joined East Calvary Church.
The self-sacrificing spirit of the members of East Calvary and their pastor, the Rev. Tindley, has awakened a response in the hearts of Philadelphiaans, and both white and colored people have contributed to this very worthy cause.

A Poem By The Late Colonel Charles Young
Associated Negro Prisa
THE following remarkable poem was written by Colonel Charles Young, and was found among the Charles' effects by Capt. I. O. Atwood, who furnished it to the Associated Negro Press. It has never previously been published. Capt. Alwood states that Col. Young wrote more than 200 poems, some set to music of his own composition.
A TROOPEES BURIAL
Up your new graves' verge
Wish measured steps and slow.
To Chephis's solemn dirge.
Your sad, faced equates go.
Spirred boots and sabre craped.
Your sad in reverse.
Your saddle in reverse
On horse with morning draped.
Behind a cabisoned hears.
A chaplin's simple prayer
With soldier breathe Amen!
No lies or cant are there;
They face Good God like men!
Put on the earth of sleep
While tearful taps resound
Not eyes but hearts there weep
Hide your new made mound.
Sleep well Oh comrade best,
The roaring regale
Will never break your rest.
For you, oh friend, are free!
Colonel Young—Victorious
By LEON HARRIS
in The Richmond Globe
Blow Hailers of Heaven, awaken God's armies.
Blast forth the wild notes till the echo
responds!
Arise, ye erect angels, and angels, and
rebounds.
A comrade-in-arms seeks to enter thy
bounds.
From o'er the dark water--from
earth's stride and slaughter--
A comrade-in-arms seeks to enter thy
bounds!
Blow, bugles of Heaven, a loud, reveller-
vellie—
While we sound—
Tape!
Blow. bugles of Heaven, a hero ad-
vances—
What deep scars of battle his features
defare!
Twas he who endured every slight and foul insult.
Defending his manhood; his God and his race:
Ye. great hosts of Heaven! let honor
be given
This world-weary hero who enters thy ranks.
Blow hugles! blow trumpets! A paean of praise.
Blow, bugles of Heaven, God's armies are marching.
Twixt corps and divisions are no "color" lines;
Their front ranks are filled with the numberless millions.
Earth slighted and crushed with her evil designs!
The Legions assemble! O earth! hear the tremble.
The mighty Commander shouts "Vengeance is mine!"
Blow, bugles of Heaven, a dirge low and sad...
While we sound—
Taps!

- Social Teachings of the Quarter's Lessons.
The method of review will largely be determined by the taste of the teachers and the grade in the school concerned. To the writer's taste, two good methods are available; the biographical and the summary. In using the biographical, the lives of four great prophets, Elijah, Elisha, Jonah and Amos may be considered. These four men are connected with nearly all the lessons of the quarter. This method can be used to good advantage in nearly all the grades of the school. In the summary method the principal fact of each lesson with its leading lesson should be set forth. This method can be used to good advantage in the adult departments. The following is a suggested summary:
Lesson 1. Rehoboman refused to grant the request of the people for the lightening of the burdens of taxation. Because of this ten tribes under the leadership of Jerobaman revoiled and formed another kingdom. The most effective cure for social and political unrest is justice by the rulers to those ruled.
Lesson 11. Ellijah, after announcing to Ahab the withholding of rain for a term of years, fed and was fed by the ravens and by the widow at Zarephath. God adapts himself to the circumstances of His servants, and sometimes in the most unlikely ways provides for His own.
Lesson 11. At the request of Ellijah, Ahab called the people together to witness a supreme challenge of Baal worship. Faith in God will stand the most severe test. The fire of God is the unfailing sign which differentiates true from false religion.
Lesson IV. Elijah, though brave before the 450.prophets of Baal, fled for his life from Jesebel. God dealt most gently with his discouraged servant. We should learn from this that frequently we fall in our strongest point. Lesson V. Nahob refused to sell his vineyard to Ahab, whereupon through Jesebel's plot he was murdered, and Ahab took possession. Nations and kings should respect the rights of individuals. Lesson VI. When Elijah's work was finished, God took him to heaven by a whirlwind. Elijah had once requested death, but God had a better way for him to go to heaven than by way of death.
Lesson VIII. The Shunammitte woman, seeing Elisha passing by our errands for "God, was moved to provide a comfortable lodging for him, whereupon Elisha sought to recompense her by promising that God would give her a child. Not infrequently has the prophet's chamber brought blessing to the home.
Lesson VIII. At the command of Elisha, Naamian dipped himself seven times in the Jordan, and was healed of leprosy. In order to be healed of the leprosy of sin, human pride and vanity must be put away and obedience rendered to God.
Lesson IX. The king of Assyria sent a great army to apprehend Elisha because he had repeatedly informed the king of Israel concerning the movements of the Assyrian army. When the Lord opened the eyes of Elisha's servant, he beheld the mountains filled with horses and charriots of fire. "The angel of the Lord encumphs round about them that fear him, and delivereth them." "Lord, open our eyes!"
Lesson X. At the preaching of Jonah, the wicked city of Nineveh repented and God showed mercy. God mercy and forgiveness should move us to preach the gospel to the heathen.
Lesson XI. The children of Israel prided themselves in their security and gave themselves to luxury and sensual indulgences. God sent Amos to warn them of the judgment which must follow. The Lord will bring the ungodly to Judgment for their ungodly living.
Lesson XII. In due time the prophecy of Amos came true. The Assyrians came and carried the children of Israel into captivity, from which they never returned. Rejection of God and the despairing of His worship will be followed with judgment and destruction.
There is no mockery like the mockery of that spirit which looks around in the world and believes that all is emptiness—E. H. Chapin.
