KILL TWO WHITE WOMEN THOUGHT WERE NEGROES An Exponent of Truth and Justice VOL. XI-NO. 8 Farmers' Wives, Dressed In Overalls, With Blackened Faces. Rob And Murder Their Neighbors. WERE ALMOST CREMATED BEFORE THE DISCOVERY THEY WERE WHITE WOMEN Husband Of One Was In The Scramble For "Souvenir" And Is Dumbfounded When Sex Is Disclosed. BOWLING GREEN, Ky., June 12. Reports of the killing of three white women, two of them with blackened faces and dressed as men; reached here from a point in Clay County, Tennessee, last week. First reports were very messy and names were not given. The place where the killings happened is a wild isolated section 40 miles from here and thirty miles from the nearest railroad. Only a few farmers inhabit many square miles of this section. A few days ago, one of the farmers sold his property for $1,800 cash. A big fox hunt was put on two days following by neighbors, who urged him to go. The scared informant did not give names of the parties concerned. He declares that wires of two of the men, dressed as men, and with blackened faces, went after the money. They viciously attacked the farmer's wife, beating and choking her unmercifully, trying to force the woman to give up the money. She refused, then the two women bandits cut her throat. A man living with the family was asleep up in the loft of the barn awakened by the commotion, rushed to the scene gun in hand and shot the two women robbers dead. The boarder they were colored men, the boarder they fed, told distant farmer and fed on; this farmer brought first news of the affair to Bowling Green. Authorities; here at once communicated with Clay County (Tennessee) officials to investigate One of the party rode horseback to the nearest station and wired for the copier. His brief message concludes first reports. The dead bodies of the three women were found by the returned fox hunters. Taking the "blackened faces" to be Coloradon men, wild anger and horrific preparation for vengeance was begun. A great pile of wood was quickly collected, the two bodies were to be burned. Mutilation first was decided upon. The husband of the murdered woman and another farmer staffed to unsee one of the "Colored men." They both fell back in astonishment. One man discovered that he was about to mutilate and burn the body of his own wife. The whole community is astir over the happening and the authorities are investigating the affair. LEAGUE ACTS AGAINST HARVARD COLORED LINE Equal Rights League Votes To Appoint Committee To Protect Discrimination At Freshman Dormitories. BOSTON, MASS., June 14. — The NationalEqual Rights League has started action against race discrimination at Harvard University.

The Nile Club is composed of the forty Colored students at Harvard, and they, with Attorney Rainey, asserted that the color line fight was started about a year ago in the frothmen dormitories. Attorney Rainey claims that the race discrimination, especially against the Colored men, is the result of Ku Klux Klan activities, which started about a year ago, and he claims that the South has great influence in Harvard almae as the present time.

Strum, which pursuant to some from office Sheriff James of Texas, has been approved by all of the accused members with the Ku Klux Klan.

NEW YORK, June 14—Leading U. 8. Senators have expressed their horror and amazement at the list of lynchings and barailings at stake during the month of May, compiled and sent to them by the National Association of Colored People. In reply to a letter from James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. leaders in the Senate have forcibly expressed themselves as follows: Senator Frank B. Willis of Ohio: "I am amazed and shocked at the list of lynchings you have sent me. It is unfortunate that in this country dedicated to law and order, there should be eleven lynchings within the space of twenty-two days. This is an unbelievable position is most threatening and dangerous and should be condemned by all good citizen." Senator Charles Curtis of Kannah: "I have your letter of June 1.; and thank you for sending me the statement in regard to the lynchings which occurred during the month of May. I do hope something can be done to stop the outrages. I have talked with members of the Committee in regard to the Anti-Lynching Bill but the Committee does not support it. I will talk again a conclusion up to the Committee." Senator Harry B. New of Indiana: "I beg leave to acknowledge receipt of your letter of June 1, calling my attention to the reported lynchings in the United States during the month of May. I think the record is one that can not help but appeal to any man to whose attention it is called. Certainly the United States must be brought to a realization of its security, and those states should be equipped with the necessary tools to defend them. I shall care for the Dyer Bill myself if the chance is ever offered and shall certainly hope that its constitutionality may be established when passed." Senator Sidney P. Missouri: "I thank you very much for your letter of June 1 with the information provided by the Committee."

FREES MAN OF A MURDER CHARGE Innocent Man Was Being Held By Prosecuting Attorney Who Was After The Reward NEW YORK. June 14-Through the efforts of the efforts of the Henderson, Ky. Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. an attempt to convict a colored man of murder of which he was innocent was frustrated. The following re-port is submitted by Mrs. LaVetta J. Smith, Secretary of the Henderson Branch, A. A. P. C. in 1909, Joe Crow killed a man in Henderson, Joe Crow was indicted and held to the grand jury on bond. When the time for trial came he could not be apprehended. Last January, Joe Crow was arrested in Detroit and returned to Henderson as the man who committed the murder in 1909. He was not given an ex- trial and when the gryffairy jury set aside it was not ready, hence he was remanded to jail until May. "In the meantime his sister and he claimed he was not the same Joe Crow as the one wanted. The brother of the murdered man claimed it was a case of mistaken identity also. The lawyers said there was nothing to prove that the case to trial as he was evidently the guilty party. Even the one who took the case for $100 took no steps. "Our legal committee investigated the case and established evidence of his residence and marriage in Kansas City, Kansas, at the time of the murder. We sought a lawyer and only one would take the case. We proceeded to the court. John Joe Crow was a free man without the case being brought to trial. The prosecuting attorney therefore did not obtain the reward offered for Joe Crow, the murderer.

NEW YORK, June 15—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People announces that the sum of $800 had been requested to the Association in the will of Goo. T. Morgan of Gulner, Illinois. ST. LOUIS, MO., FRIDAY. JUNE 16, 1922 CON CONVENTION HAS FIFTY-SEVEN LAWYER MEMBERS Eighty-Three Members In All. Ex-Judges, Business And Professional Men One Negro And Three Women. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN BOWLES ON THE JOB St. Louis Man Is Appointed On Some Very Important Committees. Send In Your Wants. JEFFERSON CITY, June 13. The Constitutional Convention of Missouri meeting in the hall of the House of Representatives, is in the fourth week of its labors. It is now well organized and its standing committees are hard at work. A session of the Convention will be held, and people generally probably do not understand fully the very great importance of the work being done by this body. Beyond any question no other gathering of any kind which has been held in this state since the Constitutional Convention of 1875 even approaches this convention in the bearings of the work of the people and general working of the people state for possibly fifty years to come. The new constitution will be binding not only on the people of the state but on the Legislature as well. The Convention is composed of eighty three members, three women and eighty men. Fifty-seven of the members are lawyers of whom a large proportion are ex-judges. About ten professions and occupations are represented in all. It seems providential that among this body of highly distinguished people—including two ex-exileignant governors, several ex-members of congress and a former member of the president's cabinet—there is one colored member, able and willing to see that all of the interests of aired people, as well as those of the state, are given adequate conditio Prof. B. F. Bowles is strictly "on the job" at every session. He is a member of the Committee on Education and also of the Committee on Military Affairs; he is receiving every courtesy and consideration from his fellow members, and even results of some questions he has asked, which we are not permitted at this time to state. The Convention will likely be in session a long time. One anti-race measure, forbidding the inter-marriage of whites and Negroes and of whites and Mongolians has ever been "by request" to carry to know what information this and other such measures will receive; but the colored people will need to be awake to what is going on and at the proper time express their opinions to the Convention. A constitution free from all class distinctions of any kind whatever is the kind desired to all who understand what class restrictions really mean to people of the States understand to send in any proposal to the Convention up until the 1st of July, and I am sure that the same will get due consideration as, Hon. B. F. Bowles is on the job. N. A. A. C. P. Mass Meeting A Mass Meeting of the local branch is called for Monday night at Compton Hill Baptist Church. A splendid speaker and a summary of the Association's efforts will be made. The public is invited. NATIONAL ASSOCIATION SECY. AGAIN GOES TO WASHINGTON TO FIGHT FOR THE DYER BILL James Weldon Johnson Is On Scene Too With Briefs Showing Its Constitutionality. NEW YORK, June 12—James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has again gone to Washington to attend today, to continue the fight to have the Anti-Lynching bill passed by the Senate. Mr. Johnson said before leaving New York: "Still another brief has been added to those submitted to the Senate Judiciary Committee by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, showing that the Dyer-Lynch-Lynch Blake Association constitutional, the latest brief is through the N. A. A. C. P. by Herbert K. Stockton of the firm of Halight, Smith, Griffin and Daming of New York. "The last barrier to passage of the Anti-Lynching Bill is the question of its constitutionally and it is on this that the N. A. A. C. P. is hammering hardest. At the same time the Association is embracing men and women in the United States to continue to the utmost their efforts to bring pressure on their Senators in Washington. This pressure should be unresisting and constant until the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill has become a law. WANT TO KNOW NEGRO HISTORY WANT TO KNOW NEGRO HISTORY Fifty Thousand Dollars Secured Through Dr. Carter Woodson After Many Efforts. Work Was Started About Seven Years Ago. Colored Race Will Receive Much Benefit From It. WASHINGTON. D. C., June 14. Dr. Carter G. Woodson, the Director of the Association for the study of Negro Life and History, has recently secured $25,000 from the Caucasian Corporation and an additional $25,000 from the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial. This fund is to be used to further research in the neglected field of Negro History and to publish the results of such investigation. These substantial contributions mark a new epoch in the history of the Association. Whereas the work has herefore been largely the effect of Dr. Woodson fighting the battle almost by himself it will now be possible for the Association to carry out a more intensive program and attain its important objective. Beginning with the new fiscal year from July 1, 1922, to June 23, 1923, the Association will undertake the following: (1) To continue to edit the Journal of Negro History, a quarterly scientific magazine which has been regularly published since January, 1916. (2) To conduct research restricted at present to the efforts of One investigator in the field of the Free Negro Prior to 1861. Another investigator in Negro Reconstruction History. (3) To train for this sort of work a few Negro students who will be given fellowships in accredited graduate schools with adequate libraries containing collections bearing on Negro life and History. The investigators will begin their work the first of July. Before the opening of the universities in the fall, the students to undergo special trainings will be appointed by the Commission on Scholarships and Fellowships. Any one knowing of young college graduates with an honorable record in this field will render the Association a service by giving it information as to their qualifications to function in this capacity. The Association for the Study of Negro Life and History was organized in Chicago September 9, 1915, and was incorporated under the laws of the State of Illinois. Headquarters were then opened in Washington and on January 1, 1916, the Director published the first number of the Journal of Negro History. The purposes of this society are to collect sociological and historical documents, to publish books on Negro life and history, to promote the scientific study of the Negro through clubs and schools, and to bring about harmony between the races by interment of the other. The Journal of Negro History and other publications of the Association are therefore read by all classes of both races in the North and South and abroad. The Association is endorsed by such distinguished men as Harold H. Swift, Morton D. Hull, Bishop W. D. Johnson, Bishop Elias Cottrell, Bishop G. C. Schieffelin, Bishop J. Schieffelin, and Julius Rosenwald. It has the cooperation of such scholars as Roland G. Usher, John M. Mecklin, Jerome Dowd, Kelly Miller, C. H Wesley, William Renwick Riddell, Charles E. Chapman, J. Franklin Jameson, Henry Churchill King, Walter Weyl, Jameson, William E. Weyl, E. R. Park, William E. Dodd, Carl Russell Fish, Edward Channing, and Owald Garrison Villard. During its seven years of struggle it has succeeded in spite of handicaps in directing world-wide attention to the neglected field of Negro history by publishing articles and documents giving facts which specially unite local clubs and classes the Association has done much to change the attitude of communities toward the Negro.

MOTON Principal Of Tuskegee, In Address Here, Points Out Weakness Of Both Races Toward Each Other. TELLS THE NEGROES TO BELIEVE IN THEMSELVES Says The Black Troops Did Their Part In Winning The War And Must Have Democracy. Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, was the principal speaker at a banquet of the Commonwealth Fellowship at Pine St. Y. M. C. A. last Monday evening. The occasion was an annual affair, which the president of the Commonwealth Steel Company has encouraged among the employees, and is regarded as a "good fellowship" meeting, when employer and employee may meet on a common level for the good of both. Dr. Moton, during his talk, pointed out the weakness of both races in dealing one, with the other, and said he had great hope for the future of the Negro race in America in America part: "I feel very much at home with those I have met, and the other is to see done many kinds of work with my hands, and am not ashamed to do it again. "I have had two thrills since I've been in this city. One was to see the Poro College, and the other is to see white men and coloured men here in this room working together in a common cause. This is an omen of a better day. There is one thing about the white man that we can afford to follow, and that is, he believes in the white man. It makes no difference what comes or goes, he believes in the white man. The same may also be said of the Indian, Chinese and Japanese. Negroes Must Believe in Self "Don't let anyone make you believe you are a cursed race. You can tell all anybody else is. You can tell of my race as the proudest white blood of the world. "Faith in yourselves will command respect of others. The average white man thinks because they are white, they rule the world. This is a mistaken idea. Black people ruled the world at one time. Had it not been for the Singalese, the black Preach troops, the American Negroes and those of the Isles of the Sea, Germany would have done that. The black Americans did their best to keep the white Americans from being slaves of the Teutons, and we are determined to share in this democracy. "Efficiency" is the Call "Another call is made upon us, and that is the call of efficiency. Whatever you do, do your work so well that no man can do it better. In in this way you do your best. Don't spend all you make. Save some for a rainy day. It makes a man feel like somebody to pay his bills in check. Money saved works while you sleep." Dr. Moton closed his address by making a strong and earnest plea to the mothers and fathers to set a good example before their children. CLARENARD The President of the Commonwealth Steel Company, who is known as the "Golden Rule" man, spoke of his efforts to make not only the worker, but the families, happy. He said that the colored men who worked in their plants, he believed there were no better workers. "Men," he said, "are not measured by color or weight, nor the rule of gold, but by the Golden Rule." The speaker's table signed by Mr. Howard, which attracted a deal of attention, read: "Service to be service must be unselfish; services recognise the Golden Rule as the only standard of measure of relations and actions providing equal opportunity for all." —Clorean H. Howard. Others who spoke were Prof. F. L. Williams, E. Jones, Browen, Mrs. Malone, Mrs. C. H. Howard, Mrs. Morey, assistant manager Commonwealth, and Mr. Close, manager. Musical numbers were furnished by Mrs. Zell Cole Evans and Robert Mermon. About one hundred men with their wives and children were present at the banquet table.

Third Jasper and Walter, two elderly, men of dark complexion, being the inhabitants of Chicago a city of enormous wealth as well as profound poverty, were sitting on the door steps of Jasper's residence where as they conversed on different subjects noticed the passers-by animals in the streets, wagons, and so on, now and then speaking about these "physiological conceptions of externalities. They were keen observers, deep students of nature; they did not hardly let anything pass without a particular scrutinization. Jasper was an ex-farmer while on the other hand. Walter was a presser one who cleaned and pressed clothes. Hence, both of them being of different vocations, Jasper who had principally lived in the country as a farmer, and Walter an inhabitant of the great city of Chicago as a presser, they had quite a variety of subjects to speak of; thus, that Jasper was "a great thinker and antiquarian," he said; "Walter let us go into my study, where upon your entrance I will show you many things to interest." "Ah what have you got now, Jasper that is so interesting?" "Many things." "A variety of philosophies, scientific, and artworks, presumably?" "Precisely." "Well, then, let us enter." "So be it." They entered a magnificently decorated room, a chamber wherein Jasper had various articles of ancient times: here he showed Walter pictures of Ethiopian kings, queens, princes and princesses, African tribes and sages, old mirrors that were used by beautiful Ethiopian women, and a great many other things. Walter was an antiquarian himself; however he had never seen such rare material before. He with eyes of profound attention, looked as if he had never looked before. This being the case, Jasper as he picked a portrait of Tarakos, the Ethiopian king of Egypt, said: "Within my hand I hold the inspiration of Africa! This king set down by Manetho, the heart and soul of Ethiopia, the ruler of Libia: This black lord of the dark continent is a part of myself; though he is dead physiologically, he is alive psychologically, for he is in my hand, my imagination where, as I see him dressed in rich garments, and mounted on an elephant of opulent decoration, I do see him leading thousands of soldiers." "Step stop, Jasper!" "Why?" "Because you make me feel like being back in Africa." "But Africa of today is not like the Africa during the time of Tarakon." "True." "Nevertheless, the land of Libya is our original home. We have been brought here to be Americanised." "Ah, so I see—we are Ethiopianized Americans."

Next week's show at the Booker Washington theatre promises to be another one of those real extraordin- ary attractions that are few and far between. At least three of the four vaudeville acts booked are each of sufficient drawing power to fill the theatre for each performance. These are Johnnie Woods, the world famed Ventroliquist and his comical mankin, "Little Henry"; Clara Smith, the sensational "Goon-sing shouter," who was the center of attraction in Bob Russell's production; "Butter Beans" and Susie (Williams and Williams) who are a knockout comedy riot every time they appear on this stage. Another act which comes highly touted is. The Musical, Goodletts, a man and woman with a novelty repertoire of merit. The second act of the exciting picture feature, "The Leather Pushers," will be presented the entire week. This is a series of two-real romances of the prize ring and the social whirl. The first round is making a big hit this week. GOOD VAUDEVILLE THIS WEEK WITH THE MOORE'S IN "THE SUFFRAGETTE" After a couple of disappointments and a rearrangement of the bill, the Booker Washington Theatre got started Monday night with a vaudeville show that's winning the plaudits of the patrons at each performance. James Croshy, "The Tall Talker," opens the show with a pair of good sentimentals sang in excellent voice. His imitations of Italian, Chinese and German songs win applause. Eddie, Stafford and Miss Watts are a graceful and neatly dressed team of singers and dancers. They sing well and score hits with their fancy and buck dancing. A revival of "In The Jail House Now." goes big. Tim and Gertie Moore are the "Surprise Special" on the program. They are presenting "The Suffragette," which is the most comical piece of stage work Tim ever put over. It represents him doing the house work under the domination and bullying of his suffragette wife. He sees a hard time, and "can't even die," but he turns the tables on her and then she gets back to her duty in record breaking time. The act is a scream "Alta Oates and Maude Woolson close the show with an act of "Kidisms," songs and dances. They are full of pep and keep the audience at high tension throughout their appearance. MONDAY PAY DAYS. Every Monday continues to be "Pay Day" for the patrons at the Booker Washington Theatre. Among those who received fat "pays" in their envelopes last Monday were: Frank Wilson, 409 South 6th (Rear) Stamps $40 Miss Rosie Carter, 122 Solard Stamps 20 Harry Ball, 2728 Lawton Cash 5 Irene Hawkins, 3345 Morgan Stamps 10 George Dudley, 1562 Grattot Stamps 10 Leon Hickman, 2660 Morgan Cash 5 Miss Lilly Alston, 3129 Larclede Cash 5 Miss Ethel Smith, 4440 St Ferdinand Stamps 40 Mrs Mamie Craig, 412 South Jefferson Stamps 40 Grover Young, 516 South 2nd Cash 5 Mrs Mae McDaniels, 2323 Enguolia Stamps 20 Mrs Katie Eggleston, 2305 Chestnut Stamps 10 Hartraves All-Star Revue including.

THE PICTURE THEATRES "The Mysterious Rider" "A Man's Home" and "Western Speed" at the Lincoln. Zape Grey's story, "The Mysterious Rider" will be featured at the Lincoln Theatre this Saturday night. On Sunday Harry T. Morry and Kathyin Williamk will be seen in "A Man's Home." This is no preachment—although for those who would heed it carries a useful warning of shoals that frequently remain uncharted in the water of domesticity. The husband, for instance, thinks more of his business than he does of his wife. Realizing this the wife find pleasure where her money can buy it—and hubby opens his purse without stint. "My husband lets me do anything I wish, so long as I do not bother him," says the wife—and its the things she wants to do that lead to nearly all the paint on the good ship "home" being scraped off, against an ugly shoal that has all the time been threatening the smooth course of domestic navigation. Next Thursday Buck Jones will be presented in "Western Speed." "Lynch him!" was the cry the offender heard in the days when 'Red' Kane was a 'cowhand' at the Box and Ranch. Lynch law prevailed, and the man who stole a horse, robbed a stage, or murdered a man suffered by it. In those old days of the West, it seemed that the rope was ever-ready to be thrown over the stoutest limb of the nearest tree. Just how it was used and the causes that made it appear are vividly portrayed in this William Fox picture. "Rangeland" and "The Power Within". Specials at the Star. NEAL BETT in "Rangeland" will be the feature at the Star Theatre this Sunday. Its a story of the Texas Cattle Ranges and is filled with hair-raising incidents including hard riding, hard fighting and hair-raising exploits. A Double Feature on Tuesday will consist of Gloria Swanson in "Station Content" and Jack Richardson in "His Enemy The Law." "The Power Within," the Pathe feature at the Star, next Thursday, is a Everybody Entering the theatre will receive.

He was the greatest man in the land. And then misfortune befell him. All was taken from him. He ran the gamut of human suffering, but won back all he had lost when he realized all his faith had been in himself, not in the divine power within himself. Will Rodgers in "Doubling for, Romeo" will be one of the features at the Olympia Theatre this Saturday. The story tells the trials of a bashful cowboy lover to win the affections of a western girl. But she has "movie" ideas about a lover, and sends her cowboy to the "movies" to learn how to make love, What happens to him, there, as well as his adventures as a cowboy Romeo, makes a delightful comedy.

One, of the principalis is Sam McVey the well known Colored boxer. On Sunday, Franklin Farnum will be seen in "Smilin Jim," a photoplay crammed with exciting action, romance and strong suspense. "Grand Larceny," a Goldwyn picture, is the Olympia offering for next Thursday. It is a story of two men and a woman, by Albert Payson Terhune, in which one of the men commits what the other calls an act of Grand Larceny in stealing the affections of the other's wife. A novel twist to this type of society story is introduced by the attitude of the woman, who is the innocent victim of what is apparently a chain of evil-looking circumstances. She does not acquiesce in the theory that degrades her to the level of things that may be stolen; and in the end, forces upon both men recognition of the fact that she belongs to herself.

Hart in "Travelin' On" will be the feature at the Comet Theatre this Saturday. It concerns chiefly the mind struggles of two distinct types of men both coveting a good woman who is, so fate wills it, the wife of another man, a preacher of the word of God. There is a deadly rivalry born of the situation and it is this rivalry which precipitates the thrills. Both men are tearless and in the matter of gunplay alone they demonstate an art which has long since ceased to exist. On Tuesday, this theatre will present "The Race For Life." It is the second of a quartette of epic Paramount creations grouped under the heading of "The Mistress of the World." It has to do with the adventures of a white woman in Africa and the son of a mighty and feared king, Gloria Swanson, supported by Rudolph Valentino in "Beyond The Rocks." will be the special feature at the Comet on Thursday and Friday.

But every one of them connotes abudant action and entertainment—especially in conjunction with the name of ToMix. In this instance it is a story of a braway young blacksmith in a small western town who is forced by taunts and circumstances to show the fighting streak within him, after vainly trying to avoid trouble be An Absorbing Story replete with Tenderness and Sympathy.

Jackie Coogan will be seen at the Retina Theatre in "My Boy" on Saturday. Wm. (Bill) Fairbanks in "Fighting Hearts" will be presented on Sunday. It is a romance of the pioneer days on the Texas-Mexican border. In the picture Fairbanks fights a ferocious bull and peforms many other hair raising and daredevil stunts. Wallace Reid's new *Puramount picture* "The World's Champion" will be presented at the Pendleton Theatre on Saturday and Monday. The locale of the picture is England and the story concerns William Burrongh, a young man who prefers fishing to the study of theology for which he is destined. He runs away from the parental home and becomes a prize fight champion, but in the end his fiscic powess enables him finally to achieve the desire of his life. There is said to be a wonderfully captivating love story and much humor throughout the picture. Tom Mix will be seen in "Chasing The Moon," on Tuesday and Wednesday. Getting a good start in America Mix, as a bored millionaire speeds across the ocean, dashes through Russia turning in a few beehwiskered bandits upside down on course—then rushes on to Spain; all because he doesn't feel like dying and has been told that a professor has the only antidote that he believes will save him. His sweetheart arrives in time to set matters straight. The special attraction for Thursday and Friday will be William Farnum in "A Stage Romances." The story concerns a crucial period in the life of Edmund Keen, the illustrated actor. Social intrigue among highest families in England enmeshes Kegan, and in a starling dramatic incident he commits a rash act against no less a personage than his friend the Prince of Wales. The outcome is one of the most surprising ever seen on the screen. T E Rush For Broadway NEW YORK, June 14 - The rush for Broadway among theatrical companies is on in earnest. Some weeks ago when we wrote on this phase of the theatrical situation we did not think that in such a short time we would have occasion to speak again at length on the matter. Henry Creamer and Turner Layton have just started at the National Winter Garden with their new show, called "Strutt Miss Lizzie" and while the offering is far from measuring up to expectations, indications are that it will enjoy a fine run at the garden. The garden is located in a section of New York that will not induce many colored people to see the show. We do not think the management will depend on any patronage from colored people although a heroic effort was made to draw them to see the show by the Minsky Brothers, who are backing the production with the idea of placing it on Broadway. Black Goldberg is behind the Smarter Set Company and trying to find an opening downtown. As we predicted sometime ago, the show now headed by the Whitney Brothers, and called "Jump Steady" did not make the pilgrimage to the Great White Way on June 5th as given out in the early days when Goldberg tried to impress the animated with what she could do on the Big Street, nor have we seen any steamship of the Black Star Line taking on baggage of the "Jump Steady" aggregation for Liverpool. Perhaps the future will bring forth something worth while for the members of the Smarter Set (Jump Steady) Company, who have struggled long and heroically to get a hearing. Irvin Miller, brother of Flourney Miller of Shuffie Along fame arrived in town a few weeks ago immediately got to work. Now, Irving hasn't said that he is entered in the race for Broadway, but he is rehearsing a new show which he calls "Hurry On" and as he has had a taste of and enjoyed a whiff of the salubrious breeze that comes from the theatrical Promise Land when he put on the ill-fated "Put and Take" at the Town Hall, we can surmise that Irving will be among those up front when the word is given and the pistol shot rings out for the Big Start. Now Comes Mr. Haummet "Business Before Pleasure" an Al Woods production for white people, by white people and which enjoyed a big run on Broadway, isbing g brought to Harlem for a week's run at the Lafayette theater. The show is now in the hands of colored people, that is the performers are all colored and they will seek to give their interpretation of a purely white production before purely colored audiences. Others have tried this experiment to their own sad loss, but a press notice from the Lafayette informs us that Henry Hammel is one of the race's greatest producers. Of course, we never heard of Mr Hammel as a producer and no doubt he is the wonder man that will change sentiment among colored people inside of a week. We'll watch and see.

THE APPEAL TO THE The contention of the Center and the parents of the Negro for a high school east of Grandtion, based upon an economic and facts we do not see how the Board, with no apparent effort on the condition. The parents have stated their reasons. All of which are as we know, the Board of Education. And so far as we know an argument in opposition to the Grand Avenue, except rumors that say efforts on the part of the Ncilites is a personal attack on son. Of course these rumors have what the parents have given the want from the Board by way of sistently refused to heed the app the parents of the Colored children. PAPE FILES WEAK AND In his efforts to further hurt this City, Park Commissioner F Courts of the State, calling upon in his ruling against the colored them the right to play golf in maintained by the funds from the In asking the court to sustain is relying solely upon race prejudices that the color question will stitutionality of the case.

But thanks to the wisdom that the Judges are of a different It is unfortunate for any C in public office whose character acted in a "cabbage leaf." The greatest is strong men, men of vision, mo acter. We can see how Mr. Pape the matter will make him quite pop the City. This is true only in part people of this City who believe gardless of race creed or religion not bowed their knee to the d (special privilege class). As citizens and tax payers, by every rule of the game to enjoy the public funds of the city for being true, we should like to know him "no." The public official who arbitri of this privilege is dangerous to community and should be market justice and fair play. THE APPEAL TO THE SCHOOL BOARD The contention of the Central School Patrons Association and the parents of the Negro children of the City generally, for a high school east of Grand Avenue is a righteous contention, based upon an economic and an industrial condition which facts we do not see how the Board of Education can ignore. This demand on the part of these parents is not an agitation of a few fanatics or smart "Ellecks," but the people are moved to act in the school situation because the burdens and the growing burdens which are being imposed upon the parents by the School Board, with no apparent effort on the part of the Board to relieve the condition. The parents have stated their cause of action and given their reasons. All of which are just and reasonable. So far as we know, the Board of Education has made no reply to the petitions. And so far as we know, there has not been a word nor an argument in opposition to the propose high school east of Grand Avenue, except rumors that certain members of the Board say efforts on the part of the Negroes to get better school facilities is a personal attack on some one. Of course these rumors have no place in this case. Facts are what the parents have given the Board, and facts are what we want from the Board by way of explanation as why it has persistently refused to heed the appeals of ninety (90) per cent of the parents of the Colored children of the city. PAPE FILES WEAK ANSWER IN GOLF CASE In his efforts to further humiliate the Colored citizens of this City, Park Commissioner F. W. Pape has gone into the Courts of the State, calling upon tribunal to sustain him in his ruling against the colored citizens of the city in denying them the right to play golf in the parks and upon the links maintained by the funds from the city's treasure. In asking the court to sustain his ruling in the case, Mr. Pape is relying solely upon race prejudice to win. He no doubt, reasons that the color question will be the issue and not the constitutionality of the case. He figures that all white people, regardless of their official positions are blind to justice when the rights of Negroes as American citizens are concerned. No one will doubt for a moment what the Judicial decision in this case if our Judges were of the "pigmy" type of F. W. Pape. But thanks to the wisdom of the people of this City that the Judges are of a different class of men. It is unfortunate for any City or State to place any man in public office whose character and training have been cultivated in a "cabbage leaf." The great need of State and Nation today is strong men, men of vision, men of courage and men of character. We can see how Mr. Pape thinks that his position in this matter will make him quite popular with the white people of the City. This is true only in part. There are thousands of white people of this City who believe in right and justice to all, regardless of race creed or religion; there are thousands who have not bowed their knee to the doctrine of the Ku Klux Klan (special privilege class). As citizens and tax payers, the colored people have the right by every rule of the game to enjoy those things provided out of the public funds of the city for the benefit of the public. This being true, we should like to know who has the right to say to him "no." The public official who arbitrarily robs the humblest citizen of this privilege is dangerous to the peace and welfare of the community and should be marked by all citizens who believe in justice and fair play.

We regret to see a controversy between Secretary James Weldon Johnson of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and Wm. Monroe Trotter, Secretary Equal Right League. To our way of thinking, there is no use of "fussing" among ourselves over the success or failure of the anti-lynching bill at this stage of the game. If we must "fuss" let us wait until the bill has been disposed of or had its success or failure, then we can shout or weep according to our feelings. The thing to do now is to use all of our energy and force toward getting favorable action on the bill. These cheap, vieled attempts to belittle the work that others are doing in order to boost the efforts of others, will only create a suspicion in the minds of the public that "selfishness" is the guiding spirit in the work. The Argus will refuse to lend its space to promote any such controversy, and will advise the belligerents to direct their energies along other channels if they hope to maintain the confidence of the public.

The bill was drawn by a lawyer after careful consideration and wide consultation. There has been nothing in the least precipitate or hurried, either in its preparation or in its consideration in the latter duty, then, for these opponents to say its provisions or any of them are unconstitutional. In opposition to this silly pretext the constitutionality of the measure has been passed on by two of the highest legal authorities in the country—GEO. W. Wickersham and A. Mitchell Palmer. Wickersham was attorney general in the Taft administration, and Palmer held 'the same high position when also appointed by the Senate as pending 'before the state has also been pronounced by Attorney General Duggethy of the Harding cabinet to be entirely accord with the Constitution.

On the list of endorses we find also the signatures of three, Catholic archbishops. Certainly these names stand for something. They are indisputable proof that public opinion favors the agilynching measure and people are outspoken in their condemnation of the practice of burning human beings at the stake, shooting and hanging them without due process of trial, and that they are largely from the southern states has become so common that daily papers print such items in obscure corners or onit them entirely. cople of this country read with horror of the slaughter of Armenians by the Turks and of familiar butcheries elsewhere yet seem to take these wholesale lynchings as a matter of course. These murderous crimes in other countries course and are rightly condemned but what of the hideousness in our own land of taking human beings, merely accused of crime and often suspected, from jails and sometimes actually from court rooms where trials are in progress, chaining them to stakes, heaping up, oil-soaked wood and cotton about them, and then setting fire and burning them. That is not an exaggerated picture. These burnings are common occurrences. The anti-lynching bill has for its purpose the stopping of such barbarities and inhumanities. Unless a Federal law is enacted, with severe penalties and enforced, these horrible practices will continue unhindered. Many states have anti-lynching laws, but they are not enforced. In fact these lynchings in some localities are generally accepted, as having the approval of the community. That is why a Federal law is absolutely necessary. Opponents to such a bill—to the pending bill—put themselves on record and FAVORING LYNCHING AND STAKE-BURNING.

LOUIS During his brief stay in St. Louis Dr. Robert R. Moton, Principal Tuskegee Institute was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Malone of Coole College. Tuesday was quite a busy day for Dr. Moton, who after making a trip to the Commonwealth Steel Plant at Granite City, had lunch with a few friends at Poro College. In the after noon, Mr. Malone had his lunch with a basketball game, baseball game, fifteen business and professional men in honor of Dr. Moton who, for the first time witnessed a professional game in the major leagues. He was disappointed in not seeing Babe Ruth get a "homer." Bannet At Six O'clock At St. Louis, during a banquet, a banquet was given in the city by the business and professional men and women of the city at the "Y," where Dr. Moton had a heart to heart talk with those present.

SOCIAL SERVICE WORK AT MOREHOUSE COLLEGE Hampton, Va.—At Morehouse College, Atlanta, Ga., of which Dr. John Hope is president, there has been in operation, since 1920, the Atlanta School of Social Service, which is the faculty of social service in Morehouse College, who in addition to his college work at Morehouse, is a graduate of the New York School of Philanthropy, Class of 1913. Professor Moore has served as a juvenile probation officer in the Atlanta Juvenile Justice Center, and as a professor at the Columbia University summer school for four or five years. The school offers eight courses—economic and social theory; medical-social problems; social case work; community 'organization'; statistics and research; and economic and social work with observation clinical and special lectures. Within a few blocks of the Morehouse campus the students of this school of social service will find a settlement house, a day nursery, and an orphans' home, each one of which is conducted on approved plans. At Morehouse training for a social service career an excellent opportunity of studying all phases of Negro life. Students who wish to enter upon this professional training "must be at least twenty years of age and must have completed a full four-year course in some recognized high school or its THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, JUNE 16, 1922 ST. LOUIS IS SICK Many cities are now beginning to study themselves with astonishing rapidity. For years they have known that the city is improving smoothly but just where the trouble lay and how to effect needed remedies were just a little beyond them. A few years ago Cleveland made an educational survey which resulted in her establishing a school system which now stands among life best in the country. Last year Cleveland invited legal experts not only to feel her pains, but to perform a major action on her municipal system. Today the entire roster of her courts has been revamped and many of the former politicians have been kicked out. We read with interest that New York with funds provided by three of its largest foundations will make a study which will not only embrace New York City but her surrounding borough of Lehigh City. For the boken and other towns, The Plan calls for conditions a hundred years hence! Following the riot in Chicago, Gov. Lowden appointed a Commission which made a study of the community in relation to the Negro. This fat volume of 650 pages, will soon be off the press, and the publishers already announce astonishing revelations. Perhaps there is no city in the country which is more study in need of a survey than St. Louis. It needs several major operations! No city can make very much progress until it realizes fully its shortcomings! This calls for the coming in of experts. It is indeed to the interest of all racial elements to realize the value of such an undertaking. For example, a study of local public opinion probably disclose St. Louis as a well-known city that produces the part of both racial elements as intrinsic as anywhere in the country, yet as apparently unnoticed as anywhere else! It would, probably dis, close the lack of industrial interest on the part of employees groups as conspicuous, as anywhere in the country, as employers as little concerned about the welfare of their employees as anywhere else. It would also disclose the utter lack of unanimity on the part of the Negro group in putting over any big project. In short, tell us what we are, where we are, and where we are going. It would also show us our strong points and help us to use them. NEW YORK REPUBLICAN CLUB ASKS SENATE TO PASS THE DYER BILL Resolution Calls It "Danger And Menace To The Free Institutions Of The U.

June 14—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, is in receipt of a resolution unanimously passed by the Central Republican Club of the 19th Assembly District, Manhattan, urging enactment of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill and asking the two Senators from New York State to work and to vote for it. The resolution speaks of lynchings proctacles as "a danger and menace to life.

THRIFT 'AMONG NEGROES Why Co-operative Communities and Thrift is Helpful to the Church and Finishes a sermon with "Jesus saves", but neglects to ask his followers, "Do You Save", if not why not? He little realizes that the prosperity of the church is dependent on the prosperity of his congregation but it is a fact just the same. You will find rich congregations have beautiful cumbered cherches, ministers are often own automobiles and need enjoy other luxuries of life as they should being human even though they are ministers. On the other hand a congregation made up of people who have not. They have not because they do not save. This congregation usually (no I mean always has a very poor church, heavily in debt with the minister often lacking not only luxuries but the necessities of life. The object of a better citizens, fushands, wives and sweethearts, yet no one will deny that savers make the best churchmen, citizens, husbands, and sweethearts. Crime is almost unknown to trifty people because they have no reason to commit a crime. Crimes are committed by one who wants some thing the other forallow which he is willing to help the saver all he wants and a little more in the bank that he doesn't need, therefore he is in a position when the church needs an improvement or when the community needs an improvement he is always able and willing to help out. Therefore it behooves and is necessary that the minister help promote Commercialism which is the result of thrift. Saver is more comfortable than trifty with to be considerate with (advice or solicite will not buy bread) which makes him not a more God faxing man. A waster on the other hand cannot be a good Churchman even though he says he is which makes him a hypocrite in addition to his other faults, he usually blames all his troubles on others and very often blames the church than the fact that he did not save. Thus in order to have good churchmen who can live up to all obligations of a good churchman, thrift and Industrial Co-operation Must Be Promoted the result of which will uplift the church and all other public and in- dustrial institutions. We cannot hope to build the church first and build a prosperous community around it because the church is a result of thrift, first you must have the Congregation and the kind of church will depend on the Thriftiness of this congregation again. We must also behold the minister to talk Thrift and more Thrift. Let us teach our papel to get good results for their money, let us stop gambling because it is ungodly and because no one ever benefits from the result of gambling let us learn to invest instead, in ourselves, our Community, our church, let us stop this waste that has been going on. We must waste in our community annually will pay the mortgage on every church in St. Louis. Think of That. Let us forget that we are a poor downtrodden race because it is not so, you ask the Thrifty man and he will tell you that he is satisfied with conditions if you are thrifty you would be satisfied too. We can only reap a harvest in Accord with the original sowing in the original sowing so let us get together and each sow a real crop with Thrift, enthusiasm and energy and you as individuals and as a community will be proud of the great harvest in store for you; you will be surprised in the amount of respect you will have in yourselves as a result of Saying the Thrifty man is respected by the world. We all know that the great world war was won by Thrift and more Thrift and in conclusion remember that is also the salvation of our race and church. Do not fail to let us guide you in your future investments. Write to the financial editor of the St. Louis Argus. Do not fail to read our next article of this series. "The Negro and the Jew." A lesson we should learn from the Jew. Florida Memorial College, 50 Years Old, Burns. Associated Negro Press JACKSONVILLE, Fla., June 14 — The Administration Building of the Florida Memorial College, formerly the Florida Baptist Institute, at Live Oak, was completely destroyed by fire on the 6th of May, on which there was but little insurance. This school was one among the first established in Florida after the Civil War for the higher education of colored people. It was founded in 1873 by the Baptist Church, and served through all of these years, regardless of religious, denominational lines, giving to the state of Florida many of its foremost men and women fit different walks of life. The value of the property which was burned is easily $20,000. The origin of the fire is unknown, though not believed to be the act to incendiarism. A tract of land, 330 acres has been purchased near the city of Orlando, on which it has been decided to erect in the new college moving from the city of Onkey to the city of Wichita. The heart of that city and much cramped for necessary room. A drive has been put on by the Baptists of Florida to raise $00,000, and begin building and have things in readiness to open school next fall. BISHOP HEARD TAKES CHURCH CASE TO COURT Associated N. cero Press NEW YORK N. Y. . June 14.-Bishop William, H. Heard of the New York Annual Conference of the Afr. Episcopal Church, Cain P. Cole presiding elder of the Long Island district have applied to Justice Loader B. Faber in the Supreme Court to compel the trustees of St. Mark's A. M. E. Church at Elmhurst to open the doors of the church to the Rev. Henry Irons, who has been assigned t the church by the Bishop. The assignment of the passivity of the moderator and he went there on May 29 the doors were locked against blim. Justice Faber has reserved decision This controversy, while primarily among the congregation of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, is vitally important to the entire business community of Elmhurst. St. Mark's Church is on Corona Avenue, in the heart of the business section, and stands a plot of just one acre. This acre was purchased by the white residents, of the New town district more than a century ago and presented the congregation. It was valued then at only $7.32, according to deeds on file. Recently an offer, of more than $75,000 was made to the congregation for the plot. The frontage of the main business area has frontage on the Long Is land Railroad and is very valuable for business or industry. The value of this plot it what is uppermost in the minds of those who are in this controversy. They want to know who is going to get that money. The present trustees want to know who will be the defence would also like to have it. The business men of the district want the controversy settled so that some one with authority who will be recognized by the courts will be able to consider the offer made for the property. These business men will be informed and improved as a business or industrial property for the general benefit of the community. Mob Chases Officers Said To Have Killed Negro Preston Newa. Service.

Preston News-Service LITTLE ROCK, Ark.—In one of the most bitterly contested cases that has come before the courts of this state in years Jefferson Black presumably white, contended that his children were entitled to all the rights and emoluments of the Constitution of the United States and, therefore should enjoy the privileges and opportunities guaranteed to American whites; but the Montgomery county court said "no" Black carried the case to the state supreme court which upheld the decision of the lower court. "A person with the slightest trace of Negro blood is a Negro, regardless of how closely he resembles a caucasian. The murder decision was handed down by the Arkansas. Supreme Court last Tuesday in affirming the decision of the Montgomery county circuit court. The lower court had issued an order excluding the children of Jefferson Back from attendance at one of the white schools on the grounds that they were Negroes. The case came for court action when the directors of the school district declared the children to be Negroes and ordered them taken to another school. Evidence file dby the directors to the effect that the great-grand-mother of the children had been a Negra slave. Black, however, declared that the children had a faint strain of Cherokee Indian blood in their veins, and in his petition stated that, "petitioner's children, in appearance, show no sign of Negro blood, and judged from their appearance alone would pass for persons of pure cuscanian blood In Mr. Black's transcope of append, filed in the supreme court appeared pictures of the children. In affirming the finding of the lower court that the children were Negroes and the school directors were justified in excluding them from the school the supreme court, commenting on the language of the person of Negro blood, said: 'The language is broad, and has no relation to the degree of blood.'

He declared of all the animals which walked the earth swam the sea or crawled on their bodies that the hypocrite was the most despicable, and that the attitude of benefactor which this country professed to assume toward the smaller nations such as Hayti and San Domingo, smocked of hypocrisy. Describing "Conditions in Haytil" which was the subject of his address in clear cut logic he indl hard conditions there which brought into sharp relief the unfortunate state of this little republic which many feet we are forcing to hover under our wing. Mr. Russell stated that the wealth of the islands was the real motive behind the meddling in Haytil's affairs that the National City Bank of New York and the interests owing the Railroad in Haiti wanted to exploit the opportunities there. The constitution of the county prohibited foreigners from holding and, so this government forced the adoption of an amendment nullifying this law so that these great organizations are now reaching into Haytil and reserving large tracts of its fertile soil. He told of the inhospitable treatment which the 24 lawyers who with other citizens called at the State House to represent a memorial received from Secy. Hughes and pre-dicted that unless the United States was made to get out of Haytil in three years, she would stay in forever..

This occurs twice a day for forty school weeks A pertinent point made by Mr. Russell was that white men could not solve our problems, no matter how much they wanted. He said if any final good was accomplished in the matter of raising our position in the world, it was up to us to do it. Mr. Russell who was introduced by Dr. Bentley, spoke under the auspices of the local Branch N, A. C. C. P. and created a profound impression. After his address a committee of 100 was formed for the purpose of molding sentiment in matters vital to the Race. Preston News Service.

Many hearts were filled with gladness, several of them being unable to withhold their happiness were made to rejoice. Five joined the church after the splendid sermon last Sunday morning. The 3rd quarterly conference was held last Thursday, evening, reports showed that $11,000 had been raised during the quarter. All of the presidents made good reports to the church conferences last Tuesday night. The good manner in which the Lane Tabernacle members turned out to enjoy the trolley outing last Monday night, left it up to the class leaders to supply them with plenty cars, and make them comfortable. This was done and it was the most colorful outing the church has ever given. 'It was a wonderful accomplishment for the class leaders.' The noisy young and the pleasant old people were there, and they all had their fun. There was both music and refreshments. The young people on the second trailer realized considerable fun when they ejected President J. C. Campbell, from their car. You see, the president was making raids on the refreshments and passing them on to another car. He came back for a third supply. Don't let him have it. Put him out. Yelled the young men in the car. It's the heat that makes them talk that way, said the president, as he continued to gather up a variety of the delicious soda watee. But the heat must have made them do still more, both boys and girls swept down the president and he was compelled to yield to the superior forces. Did they put the president off? They did nothing less. Mr. Camp bell laughed heartily and never returned to the car again. Mr. Robert Pitman, Miss Bear Griffin, and Mrs. Evelyn Graham, are among the sick members. Mr. Fred Tidwell, is out after several days illness. Miss Cecille Oliver, Sunday School, Secretary was among the June graduates at Summer High School.

Crawford and members of the Christian Church are asked to visit us in a rally. The public is invited. When Black Meets White By John Louis Hill For Associated Negro Press In speaking of "sequent" people, it is necessary to distinguish between those who have gathered a vast fund of information, technical and otherwise and those who are truly educated by the development of mental faculties. But in both the lesser and larger senses the Negroes have demonstrated their susceptibility of education. The facts set forth in another chapter Fifty Years of Progress, demonstrate this truth. It has been my good fortune to meet some men of color who are gentlemen in all that word implies. These men are of different shades of color—some almost white, some about equally mixed and some entirely black—but with all the earmarks of genuine culture are very distinct. Among them are successful business men and men of the learned professions all of whom can easily hold their own and successfully measure lances, with any average group of white men in the same walks of life. They are graduated from our great Universities business men; all refined, cultivated, modest as are the truly great everywhere, profoundly interested and devoutly concerned in the welfare and progress not only of the colored race, but of society as a whole. And, because of compulsory education in the Public Schools of the land, the general average of "education" among the colored people in proportion to the population is as high as among the white people. That the colored race is psychologically endowed with mental faculties susceptible of high development, no honest and well informed individual will dispute. The psychology of no other race is more interesting or of greater consequence than that of the Negro race. In his column "Today," January 21, 1922, Mr. Arthur Brisbane said: "President Harding told the colored men and women in the South that it was a mistake for them to talk about "social equality." Said he. "This is a question of recognizing a fundamental eternal, and inescapable difference." Further Mr. Brisbane says: "That earnest young Socialist plutocrat Charles E. Russell, rebukes President Harding and wants to know what Proof there is of a difference between Negro and white races." "Show me" fie says. In any natural museum the polite attendant will show him. He will lead Mr. Russtell to a row of skulls and say "This is a Negro of another. This is a white man." "A five year-old child," says Mr. Brishane, "can be taught the difference and to change the skull except by interbreeding which is not desired; would take many thousands of years. To lift up the bone of a forehead, making half an inch nearer the perpendicular, would take 10,000 years at least. There is the 'show me' answer, most puzzling to those that would like equality, but that don't want to deceive themselves." While it would be unbecoming here to criticise President Harding or that Great thinker and writer, Mr. Arthur Brisband, to most thinkers, it can but appeal that the President was exercising political diplomacy rather than sticking to humanitarian truth. That between the two races, as Mr. Harding said, there is a fundamental eternal and inescapable difference." Is inconsistent with either view the President may conscientiously hold, viz. the orthodox or the scientific-theory. Anything "eternal" is without beginning or ending. If Mr. Harding holds the theory that Adam and Eve were the parents of the genus homo, then the difference between white people and Negroes is not eternal. If he holds the scientific theory he cannot speak of this difference as "Fundamental eternal and inescapable," he must know that no racial differentiations are eternal and inescapable. Throughout the ages they have undergone ceaseless change, as have all things material. Mr. Brisbane's statements are "unanswerable" because they belong to the characteristic dogmatism of some writers' particularly prolific writers who reputation for saying "different" startling things must be sustained. How does Mr. Brisbane know that "To lift up the bone of a forehead, making at least half an inch nearer the perpendicular world take 10,000 years at least. But granting this, what of it? It signifies nothing relative to the question of "social equality". Some of the greatest mental geniuses of the Caucasian race have had abnormal craniums. Brain cavities and cranial shapes may vary more than half an inch without affecting mentality. If Mr. Brisbane will take the time to visit some natural museums, "polite, attentive", will "show him" some skulls of pre-historic white men with as great or greater variance than that between the skull of the Negroes and white men he mentions. Mr. Brisbane should know that the three or four principal racial divisions of latter times are the results of long ages of differentiation and readmixtures of the human species, and that while differentiation practically has ceased there has never been so much readmixture as of late.

(For the Associated Negro Press) By William Pickens The Republic of Liberia has been bought by the United States for a five million dollar loan." Who sold Liberia? Did President. King and commission sell it, or did the voters of Liberia sell it? What Haytl has been resisting with its life. Liberia has accepted for five million dollars. We could hardly expect Mr. Hardling to get out of Haytl while he is buying his way into Liberia. We have more respect for Haytl, for it took five million bullets to accomplish in Haytl what a mere five million dollars has done in Liberia. And then, too, Liberia Will not get the money. The money will go to the financial commissioner of Liberia," a white American to be appointed by the American government, to his large force of high-skilled clerks and assistants, American firms and to build such roads and transportation and communication facilities," as the financial commissioner may deem necessary to make it the easiest for him to hold and control Liberia. This one white American will have more power in Liberia than all the Liberian government. If the smallest clerk in the financial commissioner's office should take his gun and walk in and kill a dozen members of the Liberian government; including the President himself, this little clerk could not be arrested and tried by the government of Liberia without the consent of the "financial commissioner." the clerk could not even be fired by the people of Liberia, for "all members of the financial commission shall be designated by the President of the United States to serve during his pleasure," and Liberia has signed up to give them "immunity" in all cases whatsoever; unless the financial commissioner may agree to waive immunity in some particular case. This is an exact pattern of the system for dealing with Nergros in Mississippi; one white man is appointed to look after the whole lot of them and they have no appeal save through this one white man, and generally this one white managon finds himself a convenient Nergro whom he can "trust" and then there is "nothing doing" for any Nergro case or cause unless it is brought through this narrow channel, even though the white man may be a narrow bigot and the Negro a simil-head Surely President C. D. B. King knows the meaning of English wagds and knew that he was selling Liberia, body and soul, when he signed that treaty. And Mr. Harding and Mr. Hughes, both members of the Baptist Church, knew that they were driving a hard bargain against the poor. It would have been much better for Liberin to have decided to do without these "public works" until they could save the money and pay cash for them. If they can pay back five million dollars and the interest and at the same time pay two or three hundred thousand and dollars to a whole host of white American officers and at the same time have all their money "handled" by the very fellows to whom they owe the debt,—if they can ever in God's world do this, they could ten times as easily have saved up five million dollars and paid cash for "improvements." As it is now, it is just as it is backwoods of Arkansas where the "white folks" sell all the cotton, handle all the money, do all the "figuring", and will some day let Sambo know how nearly he is out of debt. THE MILLENIUM SEEKERS By William Pickens (For The Associated Negro Press) The earth is God-knows-how million years old, and even the human race is perhaps a million years old, and yet some people are looking for the millennial age of perfection in their little lifetime of fifty years or so. They join a little organization and pay one dollar and then wake up the next morning to find out that the whole world has not been revolutionized by that dollar, and are ready to throw up their hands in disarray. We hear people complain that some organized effort in which they have been enrolled for four or five years, and to which they have paid two or three dollars, has not accomplished such and such a purpose or aim "yet." But how much more murder there would have been, had good men not been fighting it through all the thousand generations? This world is about as far as ever from "perfection," for the perfect is itself a progressive idea; when you solve one problem, you meet or create another. It is the matter of a continuing solution of a continuing problem. Some minds are so naive, that they reason thus: We will organize and get this thing done, and then be rid of it and rest. The need of adjustment among human lives will not be done until life itself is done. If one organizes to build a house, he might look forward to the definite end of that,—but he will then have created for himself or for others, the more intricate problems of maintaining, repairing and continuing the house, and the bothers of living in it. Do you hear them say, "An antl Lynching law won't break up lynching?" Of course not. Only the simple-minded people ever thought it would. But an antl Lynching law will be a mighty good weapon to use against lynching and will reduce it beyond a shadow of doubt. And it is not inconceivable that it will cause lynching to disappear. Lynching is even more abnormal that murder by individuals, and there are many civilized communities where lynching is not now thought of. Do you hear them say of an organization "What good has the church done in two thousand years, and more?" For most people are still "going to hell" according to the preachments of the church people. If the church saves one out of a hundred (according to its present doctrine), it will be going some. The millennium seekers are really the most credulous children among those who do not expect to see millennial perfection, but are deterred to make their world a bit better than it C Pay Only $1 Tomorrow we place on sale five hundred of the finest new models of RANEY Refrigerators.

Ten Byck For the Associated Negro Press Upon reading "Birthright," by P. Stribling (Century Magazine), one feels that it is unimportant to criticize any lack of faithfulness on the part of the author in depicting Negro characters in the story, because of the greater impression that is left with the reader by the truths that flash here and there through the story, describing the conditions forced on colored folks in many Southern communities; as well as the exposure of the mental attitude and inner thoughts of the white upon which these conditions are based and continued. The story does contain some light-minded types of Negroes, with the accompanying weakness or lack of personal or racial pride, which, of course, may be the means of satisfying a larger group of the unimpathetic and securing for the book an increased number of readers who will then be brought face to face with certain situations, which have not been so intimately described, even in the greater works of fiction—and with some it will be in the nature of bringing them before a mirror. While the Negro characters are not familiar to any group of modern, educated high ranking Negroes, white characters and some of their beliefs are still in existence. The publishers suggest that: the story might be true to life, which makes all the more striking such admissions as the following, which the author admits in a matter of fact way: "Indeed, no white Southerner knows his own village as does any member of his colored population. The Negroes might, be called the black recording angels of the South. If what they know should be shouted aloud in any Southern town, its social life would disintergrate." The description of the jim-crow car in which Peter Siner the Negro principal in the story is forced to ride en route to his Southern home from a Northern school, facetiously (I assume), named Harvard, would be very satisfactory if it did not seem to seek to justify the separation of the race. But the author makes the comparison in transit conditions or the lack of them, rather clear—inkept, cool and drowsy sweeping in the windows from the engine just ahead—no food obtainable—is a clever description of the uncomfortable separate coach conditions. If Ms. author's experience had been more intimate he might have added a hint of additional discomfort because of six or eight seats usually assigned in the colored coach, for occupancy by the white train crew, presumably to reduce the freedom a n d space of the section allotted to Negro travelers who are forced to pay an THIS DINING SUITE— $155 9 PIECES COMPLETE to some cannot point a jot and jumble travel privileges than his white brother gets for the same money. The description of conditions in the little white folks' town at Hooker's Bend has also some redeeming features as will be noted by its indication of the willingness on the part of the people in that community to be charitable to far-off folks, when informed as to facts, even though the flesh of those folks be colored. Lack of sanitation, health and social life of the proper sort, and the willingness of the white city officials and leaders to disregard the importance of the colored section of the town is a familiar picture. There are some things that one does not write in a story, and one of them is the inference that the colored returned soldier was made to gamble and descend to drivability, rather than to characterize the tendency of a majority of the exp service Negroes to seek the higher life. Of course, there have been in stances true to life where such characters existed, among both whites and blacks, and rumor was quite insistent at one time that one of the white ex-service men who was being given considerable publicity for having just killed a number of the enemy had warrants awaiting for him in his home town just as "Tump Pack." The story takes a young Southern Negro, Peter Siner, of lowly parentage and lowest environment, brings him back after a college training, exhibits him as devoid of business sense, persuades him to be imposed upon by sharp practice on the part of a local Southern white girl, interests him in a yellow colored girl of immoral type, who suffers seduction at the hands of a young white ann of influential family, and makes her at the end Peter Siner's bride. One can see little value in the author's statement of this formally "educator Negro"—especially when all the higher instincts in him are credited to white blood or contacts in the North Peter Siner is a far cry from the "modern, educated, high thinking colored man." Thank God! Stribling did not make this leading character vicious, even though he blurs his vision. Peter's acceptance of Clusia as his wife after she is disgraced seems to be attributed to social conditions in Nigertown their home community, where the Negroes would "receive her back as one of them"—where so goes the story, "they lacked the steel-like edge that the white man achieves. By virtue of his hardness, a white man makes his very laws and virtues instruments to crush and muck his fellow man." Nother Peter Siner's interpretation of Negro ambition or sphere seem worthy of discussion, as most of the social life of the educated and lightened colored Americans has passed the star" which they attempt to find. What has happened is what the book itself suggests: the usual white man or writer find it impossible PAGE ELEVEN to Save Ice frigerators ers--Every Style hundred of the finest new models are SEAMLESS PORCELAIN, LOID lined refrigerators in the refrigerators is a BARGAIN. value to our cus- come y Terms $14 75 to $60 55 d be sure to see then decide for pass up.

What he says of his own folks, however, is more intimate and noteworthy. The book is heralded as presenting that sort of faction which depicts the "truth about life." The values are suggested in the opening sentences of this review. If there is a serious purpose in Birthright to unfold any other problem or its solution, it will not be clear to the average reader. The harm this vehicle may do in stifling ambition in the youth of the race to seek collegiate training and prevent their returning. South, to live, may be offset by its possible influence on "high thinking" whites toward setting their houses in order. PRIVATE PRICE FOUND DEAD; TWO BULLET HOLES IN HEAD LOUISVILLE. Ky. June 12.

The capital city boys were thoroughly trained in their double header with the Tigers last Sunday. National League Dope A. B. C.'s Lead League CHICAGO, IL, June 14. The Negro National League standing up to today has caused a surprise to many of the fans and dopsters who have followed the forms of the various clubs. Early in the season with the - American Giants having secured Rile from Columbus Buckeyes when they dis- banded. Whitworth from the Hildale- d and Owens a new comer, looked as though they would be leading the lea- guage at the present time. Foster, who has Dave Brown, one of the best twirlers in the league was looked up on to have a decided advantage, Kansas City, with Rogan, Currie, et al who figured as a second player by this time. Today finds the Indianapolis A. B. C.'s spurred on by the addition of Charleston, the heavy hitting center fielder in first place by a wide margin and at the present rate, they are going it will be some time before Ben Taylor's tribe can be headed. Kansas City Gets Drake Boster's men left, this city Sunday night for a five game series with the St. Louis Stars in St Louis and from there they hook up with the Kansas City Monarchs in the crucial series of the season. Wikerson has fortified himself with another crack twirler in the person of Draks, secured from St Louis. The Giants will find the pickings hard in Kansas City. The Monarchs are planning to climb up the percentage ladder at Rue Foster's expense. While the Giants are away the Detroit Stars with Rudy Petway as manager will come to Chicago for a series of games with the A. B. C$ Some Clubs Slow Starting The Detroit club has one of the best outfielders in Jess B Barber that the league possesses. Petway has Holland, Force and Marshall to send against the leaders of the league. Pitts burg has a strong club, as has St. Louis but neither club has been able to against in midseason form. The Cubans although strong have not been able to win in in years gone by. Much is expected of Cleveland. Attendance, Small The out come of the presses series at Kansas City between the Monarchs and the Giants will be watched with interest. This time next month those closely connected with the league believe the positions of these teams will have undergone a decided change. So far the attendance has been small owing to the industrial conditions which are such that many fans are really afraid to stay off from work a day to see the teams play and Sunday, has been their only chance. EOSEY RESIGNS AS SPORT EDITOR EOSY RESIGNS AS SPORT EDITOR PITTSBURGH, Pa., June 14—"Cum" Posey, Jr., manager of the Homestead Greys and a prominent figure in the basketball world has resigned as sporting editor of the Pittsburgh Americana.

ATLANTA, Ga., June 14—"Tiger Flower" pride of Georgia, and an aspirant for big yyweight honors, reserved a sade jolt and awakening on Mon day night when he was put to the boards in the second round of a schedul ed 10' round bout with Sam Langford aged but wifey. The blow that spelled the death of Flower's hopes trailed hardly six inches on his unprotected jaw. Few saw the blow that ended the bout. American Giants Win Double Header On Sunday CHICAGO. 114 - Sunday — The American giants played their 2015 club today in a hittest defeating the Progressives of the Chicago League with Gillen imported from the American Association and the House of David Nine. Foster worked Whitworth in the first fray and started Tonto, a high school lad from the Hawaiian Islands in the second. Tonto had a nice curve ball and the prospects of developing a first class twirler. The large crowd made the youngster a bit nervous. He relied with the score in his favor by Owens, and therefore got credit of a win. Beckwitt's triple and Torrient's seventh home run of the season came in the first game. The latter went over the right field fence and made a rather dull game interesting. The St. Louis Stars Capture Two Out Of Three Games From Rube's Club On Monday the Stars won by a 10 to 5 score. Russell, one of the men obtained from Kansas City in the deal which sent Drake there and brought Miller, a left handed pitcher and Russell a second baseman to St. Louis, was started at second and made a creditable showing, handling nine chances without an error. With left, pitching on tap Gatewood sent Sam Burnett to left field in place of Woods. Lefty Bell was on the hill and although the Fosterites twice put the ball out of the lot, he was careful not to allow any crowding on the sacks. It is true that the Giants scored five runs off his delivery, but this was largely due to his lack of experience. In the first inning Beckwith doubled with men on second and third and it looked like bad ball to pitch to the heavy hitting right hand batter when so palpably weak a hitter as Williams was to follow. But orders are orders. In the third Rubie's gang put three runs over on two home run drives. Torrenti got his when it did a minimum of damage, no one being on the paths at the time. Brown was hit by a pitched ball. Beck with duplicated Torry's smash and the Giant total stood at five. With Padrone whizzing them in with plenty of smoke and those five runs looked as big a Giorditer. Two were gone in our third when McAdoo walked, Kennard made a single to center putting McAdoo on third. Then came the prize play of the day. Blackwell put a pop fly up in back of the pitcher's box and Bingo DeMoss raced over after the bath, which would have been a much easier play for either the shortstop or third baseman, but Bingo is captain, and as a result the ball fell safe and McAdoo scored. Dudley looped a single to right and Kennard scored. Holt Gets Home Run In the fourth innning, we saw the surprise play of the season, when little Eddie Holt put the ball over the right field fence for a home run. That surprise wallop put us within two runs of the enemy. We got four runs in the eighth after two were out. Holt was safe on Beckwith's fumble. Bell doubled to left, putting Holt on third. Russell singled to center, Holt and Bell scoring on the drive. McAdoo tripped to center and Russell scored. Kennard singled to right, scoring McAdoo. Two more runs were added in the seventh. Dudley struck at a wild pitch for the third strike and beat the throw to first. Bennett fouled to Brown. Scales whaked. Dudley taking second. Holl forced Scales. Williams to DeMoss. Dudley taking third. Holl stole second, and when DeMoss let the ball get away it rolled to the Fence. Dudley and Holl both scoring on the break. Blackwell's home run over the right field fence gave us the final run which came in the eighth. ST. L.

The Stars made a total of 26 hits and made excellent use of the blows as the 19 runs testify, Dave Brown and Whitworth worked for Ruby and neither had anything to battle the Stars. Finner, Meyers, Oldham and Bell worked for the Stars and Bell was the only one of the trio who was effective. The Stars showed a terrifying hitting power, driving out six doubles three tripples and a home run. SCORE BY. INNINGS Club ..... 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 C. Am. G.. 0 2 0 0 11 0 0 3 0—16 St. L.

STARS LOSE WEDNESDAY On Wednesday the Chicago Americans gained the verdict by the close margin of 10 to 9. Poor fielding and bad base running deprived the Stars of their third straight victory. A lucky sheostring catch by Gardner in the eighth inning hurt the locals chances. The visitors took advantage of Meyers' wildness in the first innings and scored twice on a base on bails a triple and an infield out. The Stars batted Owens, who started on the mound for the enemy, and tallied six runs in that round on some straightaway hitting. Hewitt singled to right. McAdoo's single to left sent Joe to third. Kennard honoured a high one over Grant's head for a single to right. Hewitt scoring and McAdoo going to third. Blackwell was out DeMoss to Grant. McAdoo scoring on the Play. Russell singled to right and Kennard scored. Seates drew four bails. Dudley singled to center scoring Russell. Holt singled to left, scoring Scales and Dudley. Holt stole second and took third on Brown's bad heave. Meyers hit to DeMoss and Holt was out at the plate, DeMoss to Brown. Hewjt up for the second time singled again this time to center. Meyers taking second. With McAdoo at the bat, Owens made a wild pitch but Brown recovered the ball and Meyers was out trying to make third on the play. The visitors added a run in the second, making the score 6 to 3 Beckwith singled to right, Williams walked. Grant singled to right nibbling the bases, Gardner bounced a high hit over third, Padrone fanned and Beckwith scored, but Williams was forced out at third when Scales scrambled to the bag, tagging the cushion just a step in front of Williams. DeMoss ended the rally with a roller to Holt. The Stars failed to score in the second. Both teams were scoreless in the third. In the fourth, the American Giants tallied six runs on three hits and some weird fielding, by the Stars' infield. Beckwith singled to center and took second in Dudley's fumble. Williams hit to McAdoo and when Mac threw to left, attempting to pick Beckwith off second, he scored and Williams camped on third. Grant doubled to left, scoring Williams, Dave Brown, who started pitching for Rube in the second inning, grounded to Meyers and he made the pitout alone. Gardner hit to Scales and Grant beat his throw the plate by a great slide, tying the score. DeMoss singled, to right, putting Gardner on third. He took second on the throwin. Lyons hit to Scales and with the play at the plate wide open George tossed 10 feet wide of the plate, Gardner and DeMoss scoring on the error and Lyons reaching second. Torrenti walked. Lyons and Torrenti put the double steal over successfully when Scales failed to cover the bag. J, Brown sent a sacrifice fly to Hewitt in left and Lyons scored the sixth run of the inning. In the fourth the Stars tied the score. Hewitt singled to right and McAdoo was hit on the base of the skull with a pitched ball which knocked his cap off. Keennard fited to Gardner. Blackwell Gets Homer Blackwell hit over the right field fence for a home run, scoring in back of Hewitt and McAdoo. The Giants put over what later proved to be the winning run in the eighth inning. DeMoss bent out a bunt to Oldham, who started to pitch in that inning. Lyons hit into a double play, Oldham to Holt to McAdoo. Torrenti walked. J. Brown tripled to right center and Torientfr scored. The Stars made a great effort in the eighth and ninth innings but a great catch by Gardiner in the eighth and a double play in the ninth killed all of the local's hope.

SUMNER STARS WIN TEN INNING GAME FROM LONELYLS The Summer Stars of South St. Louis made in five straight last Sunday by defeating the St. Louis Lonelyls (white) 2 to 1 in ten hard fought innings. Williams the Star's right hander was in top form and the Grand avenue loses could do nothing with his shots. Four scattered hits were their limit. A low throw to third, by Catcher Edwards robbed Williams of a shout out game. The winning run was made in the tenth on Shaw's single and steal followed by a two bagger by third baseman Jones.

Electrics met the Peerless Club played 13 innings to a 7-7 tie the game losing called on account of darkness. Both teams were errate enough to keep the spectators and players at high groom throughout the game. On numerous occasions each team would put its pitcher in a hole after which some player would pull a sensational play and keep the plate undented. This fact was emphasized by Waters, the Electric right fielder, and by the Peerless center fielder Waters speared a liner over his head with his glove hand and started a double play when there were two men in scoring position. In the Uni. the Electrics had a man on second when Waters shot a single to center. The center-fielder uncoiled a perfect heave to the plate and ripped the runner as he slid in. The Electrics played an uphill game, tying the score four times. On July 2 these teams will meet again on the grounds in front of Summer High School. The Lone Stars of East Carondelet will play the Electrics June 18, on the Lone Star grounds.

INDIANAPOLIS BOMBARDS CLEVELAND'S TWIRLERS League Leaders Get 24 Runs In Two Games, Charleston Makes Two Hoppers On Monday CLEVELAND. O. June 13.—The Indianapolis A. B. C.C. proved to the record breaking crowd that braved the threatening weather to attend the initial clash Sunday between the two rivals why they are at the head of the league, trouncing the Tate Stars, 12 to 5 in a game featured by the headlong drives made by the outfielders, in attempts to make some headway in mud up to their ankles. In trimming the Tates, the visitors accomplished something that is seldom done, that of sending Brandon to the showers. The Tates' star right hander went great guns for the first five frames, but two runs being scored off him. Hampton, who pitched for the visitors, is some slugger, getting a single, triple and home run in three trips to the plate. He was taken out of the box in the seventh inning when the Tate batters began to find his shuns to their liking. The sacks were loaded when Jeffries went to the bill, but he retired them in order after Boyd had faced him last blindie that served two markers. SCORE: Club 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9—R H E A. B.
