FEDERAL CHURCH COUNCIL MAKESDRIVEONLYNCHING An Exponent of Truth and Justice FEDERAL CHUR MAKES DRIVE Urges Each State To Strive For Honor Roll During The Present Year. LYNCHINGS DECREASING Fewer Already Recorded This Year Within Three Months. Churches Asked To Rally To The Cause. By Arthur E. Hungerford WASHINGTON, March 17. "Let the churches cry aloud for a lynchless land in 1926," says the statement of the Federal Council of Churches, announcing its third annual Non-lynching Roll of Honor. Thirty-eight states earned places on the Roll of Honor by being free from lynchings last year, according to a statement issued by the Council's Commission on Race Relations today. The definition of lynching is taken up in the statement. Ten states, one more than last year, "bore the black shame of lynchings." Though one more state had lynchings than in 1923, the number of mob murders was cut in half. Leaders point out, however, that four lynchings have been recorded so far in 1925, and that there must be increased efforts on the part of the churches and governmental authorities against this type of lawlessness. Three new states appear on the roll of honor this year: Arkansas, Oklahoma and Virginia. The names of four states have been remaged because of one lynching in each during the year. They are Illinois and Kentucky, which had been free from lynchings for two years, and South Carolina and Tennessee, which had a clear record in 1923. This shows, according to officials of the Commission, that the abolition of lynching can be achieved. The number of victims of lynchings in 1924 was 16, the lowest number since records of the evil have been kept, according to a statement in a pamphlet by Professor Monroe M. Work of Tuskegee Institute, Tuskegee Alabama, soon to be published by the Commission on Race Relations. "The next lowest number" says the statement, "were in 1917, when the total number of victims was 38 and in 1923 when the total number was 72. The highest number was 255 in 1892. In 1924, however, there were lynchings in 10 states as compared with such atrocities in 9 states in 1923. "The third annual Honor Roll of states free from a lynching in 1924 is as follows:" and Vermont 4 Additional states that have no record of a lynching since 1896 Connecticut, Maine, New Jersey and Utah 4 Additional states which have no record of a lynching during the past ten years: Delaware, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Maryland, Michigan, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota and Wisconsin .....13 Additional states which have no record of a lynching in the past five years: Arizona, Colorado, Montana, Nebraska, New York, Washington and Wyoming .....7 Additional states which have no record of a lynching the past two years: Alabama, California, Kansas, Minnesota, North Carolina, Ohio and West Virginia .....7 Additional states which have no record of a lynching during 1924: Arkansas, Oklahoma and Virginia .....3 Total states free from a lynching in 1924 .....38 Total states still having lynchings .....19 Total states free from a lynching in 1852 Last year a newspaper discussion arose over the question of what constitutes a lynching. The Federal Council's Commission on Race Relations, therefore, has studied carefully the whole question. The result of this inquiry is Prof. Work's pamphlet, which summarizes the definitions from all dictionary authorities, the definitions of the term in legislative enactments of the states that have passed anti-lynching laws and the term as formulated in the Dyer Anti-lynching Bill, before the last Congress. The pamphlet snaps up the discussion of the definition as follows: "On the basis of the above understanding of what constitutes a lynching, the practice in general of compilers of lynching records has been not to include in such records persons put to death in what are commonly designated as riots. The whole matter would appear to turn upon where one is to draw the line between riots, where there is the promiscuous killing of individuals, and lynchings where particular individuals are seized and put to death for alleged particular offenses." The report continues that if revision of the definition is approved this "could most properly be done by a committee of lawyers, representing the whole country; as for example, a committee from the American Bar Association. The St. Louis Argus The State Hist. So. Columbia Mo. GOV. OF KANSAS ASKED TO VETO KLAN MEASURE N. A. A. C. P. Says Hooded Organization Feeds On Vicious Racial And Religious Prejudices. Governor Takes the Matter Under Advisement. NEW YORK, March 16.—Governor Ben S. Paulen of Kansas, has acknowledged receipt of a telegram from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, asking him to vote a Bill which would permit the Ku Klux Klan to operate within the State of Kansas. The N. A. A. C. P. telegram to Governor Paulen is as follows: "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, with 280 branches and a membership of 100,000, composed of white and colored citizens of the United States, respectively urges that you reti the so-called Ku Klux Klan Bill now pending before you, which would permit this organization, capitalizing as it does violent, racial and religious prejudices, to operate as an organization in the State of Kansas. There should be no place in America for any subversive movement like the Klan which sets neighbor against neighbor and foments bitterness and hatred often resulting in violence. The record of bloodshed during the past few years caused by Klan propaganda, whether those disorders come directly or indirectly from Klan activity, would emphasize that if America is to be the democracy it should be, no movement of this sort, should be counterenanced. You will be applauded by all America, if you veto this measure." The governor takes the matter under advisement. FLORIDA'S "WHIPPING BOSS" FACES ANOTHER BRUTAL MURDER CHARGE Preston News Service CROBS CITY, Fla., March 18—Evidently T. W. Higginbotham, the notorious "whipping boss," of the Putnam Lumber Company, did not learn a lesson from the humiliating experiences and wide publicity given him in connection with the death of Martin W. Talbert, a white youth, alleged to have been caused by beatings administered by "Brute" Higginbotham who is to face charges in connection with the recent death of Lewis Barker, who is alleged to have been the victim of the "Brute" lash. It is said that Barker has been missing since October, 1924, and recently his skidleton was found on the property of the Putnam Lumber Company. Higginbotham is alleged to have severely beaten Barker several times early in October. Higginbotham was convicted in 1923 on a charge of second degree murder and sentenced to 20 years in the penitentiary. He appealed the case and was granted a new trial and was subsequently released pending the new trial. Following the finding of the skeleton of Barker the "whipping boss" was arrested and granted his liberty again on a $20,000 bond. DAUGHTER 69, SEEKS AID TO SUPPORT MOTHER 127 DAUGHTER 69, SEEKS AID TO SUPPORT MOTHER 127 JACKSON, Mich. March 18—Mrs. F. Wade, an elderly woman, asked the police to assist her to find her husband, who has left her to support herself and her mother, said to be 127 years of age. Mrs. Wade complained of poor health and said that she sheared for the life of her mother, Mrs. Sylvia Montgomery, who is very feeble. The aged mother is said to have had eighteen children, the youngest being 57 years of age and the oldest 79 years. She was sold in slavery fifteen different times. UNIQUE BUSINESS NETS NEGRO SMALL FORTUNE LOS ANGELES, Cal., March 18—One of the oddest businesses in the city started by a colored man, Columbus J. Jackson, who was at one time a Chicago silversmith, has resaped him a small fortune. Jackson is the proprietor of the Jackson Salvage Company. 1319-B Central avenue. The business of his firm is the recovery of lost silverware and dishes in fashionable hotel kitchens and restaurants. This unusual occupation, its big a joke as it might seem, has resulted in the finding of over 20,000 pieces of lost silverware and thousands of pieces of china and crockery having a total value, it is equal of over 20,000. Published In The Interest Of Colored People CLOSE RACE CONGRESS IN WASHINGTON Adopt Resolutions Bearing On Disfranchisement, Mob Violence and Segregation. $10,000 Budget Voted. WASHINGTON, D. C., March 18—The National Race Congress closed a very eventful and important three days session here last Friday. A program was outlined that 'destined to bring far-reaching effects on race betterment. If put into operation.' *Stressed Importance of Ballot.* The general subject of the fraternise and its power were discussed from every angle as affecting the colored people, and constructive measures-bearing on it were drawn up. Virginia was well represented. Rev. Dr. Graham of Norfolk spoke in behalf of the interracial cooperation, and on the reduction of rivalry among the leaders. Dr. George Cannon of New Jersey stressed the use of this ballot as a weapon of defense. Adopts Resolution In a resolution adopted, the Congress declares its belief in the equality of citizenship, irrespective of color or race. It believes in law enforcement, not merely the 18th but the 16th, 14th and 15th amendments as well. Any other enforcement is hypocritical. The resolution continues: "Mob violence, disfranchisement, segregation and the many kindred evils of this nature flourish in this country where citizens are deprived of the ballot and its power, but the bestowal of the ballot will remedy these evils. "We appeal to Congress to reduce the representation of states that foster ballot limitation, both in the electoral college and the House of Representatives. And we further appeal to Negro voters to use their ballots so as to secure the fullest measure of American citizenship to them and their descendants. "We appeal to the masses of our group to qualify themselves for the ballot and also exhaust every means within their power to enable them to use effectively." In preferring services of its legal committee in the case, the Congress urges colored people everywhere to contribute toward the expense of the appeal to the United States Supreme Court in the new Louisiana residential segregation ruling. Vote $10,000 Budget The Congress closed with an address to the country, in which the subject of ant-liberty law and congressional reappointment were vigorously pushed. A working budget of $19,000 was voted and a general reelection of all officers followed. Taken in its entirety the Congress was the best in the history of the organization. Rev. Dr. W. H. Jernagin was re-elected president. While the toga of executive secretary fell upon Mrs. Gabrielle Petham. Nominations in Attendance Among the many notables who attended this session are: Drs. Cannon of New Jersey; Dr. J. T. Goodall of Pennsylvania; Dr. W. A. Bryd of Seam Jersey; Dr. J. Franks Robinson of Cambridge; Mass.; Lawyer Linnwood G. Keger of Baltimore; Bishop R. A.

TO FIGHT NEW LOCATION OF CITY HOSPITAL NO 2 A committee of about fifty residents who live in the 4200 blocks located at Whittier, Goode, Cottage and North Market streets, visited the Mayor's office Tuesday and entered a protest against the locating of City Hospital No. 2 in said block, which is to be built as a result of the recent bond issue. The committee was headed by John Keen, 4200 Cottage avenue, who acted as spokesman. Mr. Keen cited that those whom he represented had located and bought homes near the schools for the benefit of their children and their children's children, and that they felt that the children should have first consideration and be allowed to remain near the schools instead of allotting the space to a hospital. It was pointed out that many of the residents were getting old and had settled down in their little homes, and that it would work a great hardship upon them if they must break up and be forced to buy in some other neighborhood where the prices are high, thus necessitating large mortgages with big interest, which they would not have to pay if left alone. It is understood that a strong fight will be made against this new tuition because of the hardship to the people.

Read the St. Louis Argus and keep well posted on those things appertaining to the colored people. Replenish your stock—Clean up—Get ready for big things. Start a savings account, if you do not have one. Add to your present savings. Take out an insurance policy. See that every member of your family is insured. Pay all duo premiums. Take out some Building and Loan shares, or increase what you are already carrying. Pay up all Building and Loan dues. Make arrangements to purchase a home, or start a special savings account in a Building and Loan Association for that purpose. Organize and systematize your household expenses. Pay your debts. Settle with your grocer, your druggist, your tailor, your seamstress, your doctor, your dentist, and all your creditors as far as you can. Look up the Negro merchants in your neighborhood and spend a few dimes with them. It won't hurt anybody, but will help them indeed. SCHOOL PATRONS' ASS'N.

MILLER, SAYS ALOE Louis P. Alce, defeated candidate for the Republican nomination for Mayor, declared in a statement yesterday that funds furriedished Victor J. Miller by the Ku Klux Klan contributed considerably to his defeat. Alce also charged that "a Mr. Winers, a representative of the Ku Klux Klan, from Atlanta, Ga., came to St. Louis and carried on an active campaign in behalf of Miller and against Aloe." The activity of Collector Edmond Koeln in behalf of the candidacy of Judge Grimm helped to defeat him, Aloe said. "Judge Grimm took no votes from Miller, but many from me." Aloe added. Alce said that "he would not answer now" a question as to whether, he would support Miller. "I want to inquire into the various elements that brought about Miller's nomination," he continued. "One thing is certain he spent ten times the amount that the other candidates spent. Globe Democrat. POST OFFICE DEPT. TO ISSUE HALF-CENT STAMPS POST OFFICE DEPT.

GEORGIA POST IS REAL TEST FOR 24TH INF. Colored Soldiers Stationed At Fort Bennings Are Doing Well Even Though Experiencing Inequalities. By Earl A. Ballard Traveling Representative of The J. T. Elue Chemical Co., Wash. D. C. (From The Washington Sentinel) It was on a beautiful spring-like day, when Chplain A. W. Thomas, of the 24th Infantry, U. S. A., famous Colored regiment of the U. S. regular army, now stationed at Fort Bemings, Columbus, Ga., invited me to visit his organization. Thirty minutes after expressing my approval, we drove into a seemingly new city, Fort Bemings, the present home of the 24th (white) and 24th Infantries. What an interesting sight to behold the boys I had heard so much talk of but had never seen. After the usual custom of interdctions and other formalities accorded a visitor, we sought to find out a few things about them that the public would like to know about. Of course the boys were appreciative of the interest shown by the public in behalf of their unfortunate comrades in securing for them their release from the Federal Prison, but the writer was more than appreciative to learn that under the command of Colonel Waltle C. Johnson, they were being accorded a fairer deal, despite evident room for improvement. We understand that athletic relations between the colored and white organizations are good, both football and baseball and other athletic activities are engaged in between the two. "What about this rumor about you being disarmed?" I asked of the accompanying officer. "I will let you judge for yourself," he replied, at the same time ushering me to a compartment here there were stored mun- MAKE NARROW ESCAPE IN COTTAGE AVE. BLAZE Two persons narrowly escaped death, and three others were badly frightened, when a fire of unknown origin broke out in a two-story frame dwelling at 448 Cottage avenue, at 2 a.m. Thursday morning. Wendell Jackson and his wife, Margie Jackson, awoke to find themselves trapped on the second floor of the house, and only made their escape by climbing to a porch in their night clothes. They hurriedly aroused the handlady, Mrs. Robert Jackson, who was asleep on the first floor with her two children. Her husband, a railroad employee, was away of duty at the time. Firman brought the Blaze under control after the whole second floor had almost been destroyed and a damage of $2,000 had been done. The house was insured. MOVEMENT TO HAVE THE 369TH NEW YORK REGT OFFICERED BY COLORED MOVEMENT TO HAVE THE 369TH NEW YORK REGT OFFICERED BY COLORED Associated Negro Press NEW YORK, N. Y., March 18 Representatives of the race living in Harlem, acting on the advice of former Gov. Sulitzer, have, through the Equity Congress, petitioned Governor Smith to issue an order directing that the 369th Infantry, National Guard, be offered by colored men, from camel train. This is but another chapter in the agitation which has been going on for some time against white officers in a colored regiment. However, it is said that the colored people seem to be divided into three groups on this matter: those who insist on all colored officers and those who believe it is not opportune to make a colored colonel of the regiment. It has been charged that in this regiment there are too many "pink ten" officers. It has been pointed out that those leading in the movement to have the regiment offered by colored men, are suggesting that Lieutenant Colonel Benjamin O. Davis, or some other colored officer in the regiment army be assigned to command the 369th Infantry. ODD FELLOWS ESTABLISH STATE REGIMENT IN N. J ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., March 18. —A new state regiment of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows of America, consisting of 11 companies with 700 officers and men, has been formed in New Jersey.

RAISE $6,000 DEFENSE FUND RAISE $6,000 DEFENSE FUND Colored People At New Orleans Would Carry Segregation Fight To The U. S. Supreme Court. Hand Of Ku Klux Klan Seen NEW ORLEANS, La. March 16. In their fight against residential segregation in New Orleans, the colored people of this city have raised $8,000 to defend their rights as citizens of this state. The Ku Klux Klan is pushing the law to segregate the colored people, and in so doing, many whites say it will deprive them of the free use of their property, setting forth that it is the right of a land owner to sell his land to any citizen he goes fix. The matter has been in the state courts two or three times, and just recently the State Supreme Court has remanded for trial a case brought before the Supreme Court of the United States. Last October, a suit was brought in the United States District Court at New Orleans to have the Fourteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution declared void in order to prove that the Negroes have no rights to citizenship. The New Orleans branch of the N. A. A. C. P. is leading the fight against segregation. WOMEN PROTEST INSULT IN CROSS-WORD PUZZLE WASHINGTON, D. C., March 18. A disparagement of the Negro which appeared in a cross-word puzzle published by the Star, a white daily, has caused much indignation and brought a strong protest from the members of the Women's Club, of the District of Columbia. The women, protest against a question in the puzzle which read, "What would be the name of a child whose parents were a Negro and a mulatto? and the answer "Zambo." In a statement against the slur, Mrs. Mrs. Marlan Butler said: "It is a fratlock and dirty propaganda. We do not believe that the public appreciates such trash." WHITE PAPERS ACCUSE A NEGRO WHO IS INNOCENT FITTSBURGH, TN. March 19—In close succession to the false accusation of a Negro and scurrious attack on him by local white dailies, the story of a mysterious burly Negro robber who stole $300 in cash, and $802 in enforced checks from John Mullens, an 18-year old white, was played up in the same dailies. Again it followed shortly thereafter that the Negro was proven innocent. Again it was the case of a white blaming a crime on a Negro to escape the tools of the law. Mullens, after a severe grilling, broke down and confessed that he had lost the money, and made up the story on the Negro thinking it was the easiest way out. SCHOOL HONORS ONE TIME ANNAPOLIS APPOINTEE NEW YORK. March 18.

Pa., March 18.—The hearing of Stephen Dalogh, white aged 19, who married his sister, aged 17, in Cumberland, Mo., last Monday was postponed Friday until Saturday morning. Although still held by the police, no prosecution has been made against the girl, who told the authorities she expects to become a mother within two months. The father, Stephen Dalogh, Sr., announced Friday that he would prosecute his son to "the limit." They were arrested in a rooming house Thursday night after a wilde search by authorities of Johnstown Cumberland and other cities. The police said Helen told them she was sorry the marriage had broken up and that she wanted to go on living with her brother. The case has attracted much excitement in this part of the state. This is the same city where the Mayor ordered all Negroes to leave same time ago. WEALTHY N. Y. BACHELOR LEAVES RACE $30,000 NEW YORK. March 18.—Through the wilt of the late Edmund Petifold, wealthy New York white bachelor, colored institutions and persons have become the beneficiaries of a sum totaling over $30,000. Petifold's largest single bequest was to the Lincoln Hospital and Home of this city, a refuge for aged colored persons, and a training school for colored nurses. To this institution he left $10,000. The Hope Day Nursery for colored children at 33 Linden St. received $5,000; a similar sum was left to both Hampton and Tuskegee Institutes. Two former colored employees, Rosalyn Cottman and Monsi Thomas, received $5,000 each; while another Isaac Bailey was given $1,000. WHITE MARINES HELD AS NEGRO WOMAN'S SLAYERS PENSACOLA. Fla. March 18—Mystery surrounds the grusome murder of Gertrude McNiel, a young colored woman, whose body was found about four miles west of the city limits within a short distance of the principal highway. Two white marines, Joseph K. Kirk and L. L. Saxon, who were said to have been in companionship with the slain woman and a friend, Miss Aletia Mason, and whose clothing was found to be bloodstained, are being held for the crime. The ghastly death was discovered by an aged colored farmer. The woman's semi-nude body was tied to a tree and slashed beyond recognition. PREJUDICED SOUTHERNERS FLOODING PHILADELPHIA Associated Negro Press PHILADELPHIA, Pa., March 18 — The continuing arrival of white people in this city from the South with their hearts of hatred is being felt by race people in every condition of life. And the most deadly weapons they use are the daily papers. A white police officer can kill a Negro and nothing is said about it only that the officer shot in self-defense or the Negro was a desperate but let a colored officer kill a white man. Last week a colored officer killed a white man he caught rubbing a freight car. The daily papers got busy. The man killed, so they say, had never been in trouble, and so on. The police authorities are inclined to doubt the reason why the race officer killed the robber. The way things are going there concerning the robbed race, it appears as if the North is moving North with all of its tricks of hatred. PAGE TWO ~~ eee ee eee | Mrs, W.

JUNIOR IDEAS Edited By LORETTA E. OWENS EDITOR'S NOTES FAITH Chapter 4 At 7 a.m. next morning he found himself in the streets searching for his old friend. Walking with quickened short steps, he stepped suddenly before the Argus Publishing - Co. The sight of this building brought one idea after another to his mind. I will inquire of her whereabout through the Argus, he concluded. With a flushing smile on his face he entered the building and wrote the advertisement thus: With faith that he might locate the "lost treasure," before the publication of the item, he resumed his walk west on Market street. With downsweats, gives and slow, uncertain steps, he trod, replying not to the friendly "good morning" of the passerby. His whole heart and soul were for Sophia and none other. At 7 p.m. his day's journey ended, but no trace of Sophia had been found. Several times he had passed her residence, but unaware that he had done so. Passing Hong Lee's lunch room, such delicious odors passed through the open door that he was forced to enter. Finishing his supper for duck aml rises, he resumed his journey homeward. Passersby nor tenants had told him anything of the girl. Reaching the hotel at 8:15 p.m. in order to rest his fatigued body, he retired immediately. With the thought of his beloved on his mind he fell asleep, and later in the night he dreamed of the "lost treasure." GOSSIP. Mig.

The St. Louis Undertakers' Association held its February meeting at the parlor of the Toney Undertaking Company. Thursday evening, 16th inst., which meeting was a wind up of the year's work. Many questions touching the profession, and which should prove of interest to the public, while making for a higher standard of efficiency in the service of the undertaker to the public, were discussed, and plans formed for putting them into immediate operation. Another important matter which proved the subject of a heated discussion was the unmetical undertaker or the body-snatcher parading under the raption of undertaker, whose only consideration in the profession is the dollar, without regard to sympathy for or interest in the welfare of the bereaved. The St. Louis Undertakers' Association want the public to know that it does not in any way condone such practices in the profession, and as readily as it finds among its number a member guilty of such practice, he no longer continues a 'member of the association, and that it is using every legitimate means to bring such practices to the attention of the public with a view to it disrefilting the unprofessional undertaker. Recently, at stated meetings of the association, two of its members were expelled for these practices, and the association means to keep up its fight against these practices until it pids the public of these unprofessional parasites.

Though many the troubles you've had, Life, with all of its toll and cares. Is sometimes just is sometimes fair. Troubles may share you in the face. You may can well, get lose your race. But, congratulate mine, do not give up. All must taste of life's bitter cup. Foes may press you on every hand, But with will power you can stand. Patience, courage, may forsake you. Loyal friends may learn to hate you. Be brawn, let neither pain nor strife Destroy your hope, the inward life. Gird yourself with an iron will. And seek your duties to fulfill. Don't give up, tho you grow wear; Tho the night are long and days are dreary. The poor feet would retrace their steps. And you have unfaithfully kept Your word with man, your vow to God: Remember this, the chastening rod Is temerior with mercy and love. And renewed strength awaits above. So if shadows should cross your way, Lining your silver clouds with gray; So if misfortune smiles on you, It smiled on men gone before you. Some have despaired, and thus have lost: While some have conquered, paid the cost: Broke the bonds that would return them. Seat the face that would defeat them. Oh, the men where've fought and conquered. Our obstacles they encountered: They shook the shackles off their They murmured not, nor did they weep. Onward, onward, their battle song. As they trudged and marched along; Thou in darkness they may have ground. It could be said that they lost hope. Don't give up whatever oppress you. The al of times life may perplex you: Ily pressing on you'll make the grade. And not by roosting in the shade. You "want achievement and success: Well, you need, win like the rest. You have a chance for which you high. You'll win just keep your goal in sight. —MRS. B. C. WOODFOLK 1729 Cook Ave. FOUR BIG BLUES HITS JUST OUT!

(Billboard) Jackson Associated Negro Press NEW YORK, March 13—On entering the Comedy Club recently, we were agreeably surprised to see an attractive young lady industriously working over a panel portrait of a woman in the reception room. She was a regular picture book artist, pretty smock, handful of brushes, palette and all; and the unfished picture-was already a beautiful something. The dame, strictly business-like, little bit of olive brown artist interested us, and we began mingling inquiries. for artists are rare among us-feminine ones especially so. The little lady who has a contract to do four panels for the side, proceed to be Miss Wilka, Gunn, originally of Cincinnati where she graduated from the public and high school after which she was a panel at the School of Fine Art and 'afts in Boston, for she had been, making pictures from early childhood. Later, she decided that, perhaps, costume designing might be a more profitable field, so she came to New York to attend the Pratt institute where she has another year before, completing her course. She is filled, with ambition, is content for the present to just study is a real artist and has 'no' to flash illusions about publicity. Some day we pledge that her name will adorn the theater program as the costume designer of some really big productions. Meanwhile we should like to see a picture of her at work, on those portraits for it would be a thing of beauty.

FEDERAL CHURCH COUNCIL MAKES DRIVE ON LYNCHING FEDERAL CHURCH COUNCIL MAKES DRIVE ON LYNCHING CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE tion of law and fact is involved, a final and authoritative definition of lynching would have to be made by the courts. As for example, a case under some one of the present state laws against lynchings might be brought against a county where an alleged lynching has occurred. The case might turn upon the question of what constitutes a lynching and might be carried through all the courts up to the United States Supreme Court. This court's definition and ruling would be final and authoritative. "The issue involved in both the lynching of helpless victims by mobs and of thugs where there is promiscuous killing of individuals by one or both sides is that of law against lawlessness," says Dr. George E. Haynes, secretary, Federal Council's Commission on Race Relations in issuing the third annual honor roll. "Lunching is a body, blow to the ideals of brotherhood of the Gospel which, the churches profess and preach. The challenge in 1925 is whether individual conscience and public opinion can become powerful enough to enforce ad necessary legal measure to the end that no community will allow lawless mots to commit worse crimes against the law than they impune to their victims. "Already within three months of this year, four lynchings, including one burning of a Negro at the stake, give a direct call to the Christian Church to marshall conscience and public opinion to abolish the evil this year. Let the churches cry aloud for a lynchings land in 1926. Shall the Christ of brotherhood, goodwill govern relations of human life in our communities' or shall the Barabas of lawless violence be left to inflame the multitude?"

We later learned the regiment was ordered armed six poultons after the order had been put in effect disarming them. In camp we found a literary, church, ammunition hall, barber shop, cloison and other facilities for the comfort of the men. Hope. For Improvement Hope For Improvement However, during the course of the tour the writer noted many avenues for improvement, which he will take upon himself to enumerate. First it is the writer's opinion that the 24th should never have been sent to design, as it is evident regardless of the lack of friction now existing (which I would contribute to the desire to be peaceful attitude among our troops) between the races that a Negro organization is not wanted in Georgia for the whites, and why should they have not been sent to a location where their presence would be more desired. Second, we observed that most of us all the laboring work around the fort is being done by the Colored soldiers, and this should not be, but should be approximated between both white and black alike. However, the law requires trust in the integrity and commitment of Colored Johnson the fort commander (that he will eventually bring about a complete improvement of their conditions. Encourage Fafrolism The general morale of the regiment is excellent and no further body of troops can be found in the D. Army since the 21st infantry. Despite the many obstacles they have had to face, they are unanimous in their support of the American flag and the principles for which it stands, determined to defend it with their lives whenever the occasion arises.

That according to our population, there should be ten Colored Regiments instead of Four, and their ranks depleted. For this they appeal to the voting citizens to bring about. In conclusion the writer wishes to thank Chaplain Thomas and Sergeant C. D. Gladney for the courtesy extended him on this interesting and inspiring visit. Chaplain Thomas, bears the rank of Captain and is the only colored commissioned officer in the regiment. He was, prior to the war, an instructor at Wilberforce University. Sergeant Gladney, within four months, will retire, having completed thirty years of faithful and efficient service. Police Doings BURT HILL, 1360 Colas avenue, East St. Louis, lost his job as juror in City Judge Cook's court Monday for an unpaid balance of a lionar law violation. When Hill walked into court Monday and announced him self ready for service, a Deputy Sher- iff who was waiting for him took him to Belleville, where he was held in default of a $87 balance of a $20 bounty fine assessed against him a year ago. He paid the balance Tuesday and hurried back to court, but Judge Cook told him he would no longer be needed. HENRY EVANS was sentenced to 30 days in the Workhouse by Judge Calvin N. Miller of the Court of Criminal Correction Tuesday for unlawfully wearing an emblem of the Masonic order. This was the second conviction of the kind in two days. ELMER JOHNSON, 35 years old of E131 North Fifteenth street, a Negro died at City Hospital Wednesday from stab wounds suffered Tuesday when cut by another man who escaped. Johnson told police he had accused his assistant of stealing his overrent. On his way to work Tuesdays he said, he saw the man at Fifteenth and Ofallon streets and not wanting 'any trouble started back home. He was about to enter his home, he said, when the man stabbed him in the side. GEORGE THOMAS, Assyrian, and his colored wife, Conzetta, fought a duel in their rooms at 2373a Market street Wednesday, which ended when Thomas seriously wounded his wife, who died later. Thomas was armed with a 12 gauge shotgun and Mrs. Thomas had a revolver. Thomas was uninjured. "Just a little argument," he told the police. He is released on bond.

Colorful News "Movies" By The Cameraman The white North and the white South are bleeding more and more each year forgetting the great internal conflict of the sixties and the bleaching bodies of Gettysburg. Antietam and Vicksburg, when the Union was nearly torn asunder by the inter-sectional combat, it is good that friendship has taken the plunge of dissension, in a nation which, as Lincoln said, could not endure half slave and half free; and it is good that this devout wish for an inseparable nation has been realized. Northern capital, is being laysly poured into the industrial and agricultural projects of the South. With more than one hundred and a half million dollars invested in cotton, woolen, silk and cordage milk. North Carolina now vies with Masonchusels. Birmingham steel is as carefully worked as is that of Pittsburgh. Northern inventions form over southern soil, Southern condensers, attend York, Harvard and Columbia; and Chicago and New York youth go off the lending universities of the south. These exchanges breed friendship, and in their continuation the one great fact becomes outstanding: the fact that the South is absorbing more of the North and the North is absorbing much of the South, including the all important factor in the life of the Current Events Hello, Mabel. Hello, Ann Jane. What is the trouble, Mabel? I have been listening for a call from you all morning. Aren't you feeling well today?

I cannot see why she brings me such gossip. Well I am half inclined to agree with you. Mahel, and I am forced to say if Clara does that, she does not measure up to my standard of a real friend. No doubt she feels that by so doing she is playing the part of a friend. Auntie. Maybe so. Mabel, but a real friend does not inflict pain. I am aware of the fact that some who call themselves friends do those things, but they are either pretenders or ignorant of the meaning of friendship. Aunfing. I am beginning to feel that Clara is not sinner, and I sometimes wonder if it isn't possible that she Negro, which is sentiment. Quite naturally the question arises as to just what kind of a balance will appear when it is struck. Which current will be the stronger of the tide of exchange? Will the customs of the Southland overbalance the tempered fairness and law enforcement which have long existed to a considerable degree in the Northland? Whether or not, there is a great big bet which the brethren have been overlooking during this pungent transition between the white North and the white South. And that has been the failure to stimulate similarly friendly conditions within the race. North and South. Division lines in the majority group are being rapidly removed, and the brother, North and South, must realize that in just a few more years his location will not amount, in importance to an August zephyr. In matters of national importance, his problems will be the same in Georgia as they are in Massachusetts. Suspicion must cause. Friendship must prevail. The ballot must be secured for all; and respect and teamwork must be invoked intramacilitly, from Florida to Michigan. The unified front of the majority group must be met by a unified front of the minority group, for eventually the Declaration of American Independence is going to apply, without direct or indirect distraction, to all the peoples of America. Birth of a Nation David Wark Griffith's ill-famed film "The Birth of a Nation" has begun another tour, having opened last Sunday in Washington. Capital of the Nation whose torth the screen play attempts to portray by a move-vehicle whose historical background has been twisted, turned and distorted to satisfy the fascination of the mob spirit. Parenthetically, the 1927 advent of Mr. Griffith's greetest financial also reminds us of a bill which was passed by the South Carolina legislature since the Birth of a Nation last played to crowded audiences of Washington. The South Carolina bill provides that moving picture films showing as characters women of the white or Negro race cannot be displayed in theatres of the State used, exclusively by the persons of the race other than that of the women characters in the films. The bill further has an addenda to the effect that is does not apply—to theatres for whites which have galleries for Negroes. Under the addenda, such nauseating films as the Birth of a Nation, which ratifies portraits of women of both races is free; we presume, to continue tour into South Carolina for for and behold, under the street requirements of the substance of the bill, the trifith feature would be unable to enter South Carolina. Returning to our discussion of the film itself, it was our extreme displeasure, about ten years ago, to view the Birth of a Nation nine times for historical purposes, in order to criticize it upon its face record. It may be interesting to the readers of this column to know that the character of Stonewall, the abolitionist, was partially taken from the great Thind, his Stevens, Congressman from Lansing County, Pennsylvania, during a portion of Lincoln's administration and the reconstitution period. There has never been a statesman in the history of America who so fearlessly endeavored to establish justice and equity for the Negro. Stevens had much to do with the passage of the Civil Rights Bill. He was on his feet in the House at the slightest opportunity to invoke justice and amend the Constitution so as to elevate the Negro freedmen to fullest rights as American citizens. The Birth of a Nation portrays the Stoneman-Stevens chapter with gross falseness. Its historical quotations are distorted into unprofits. It magnifies the exception rather than the rule, and elevates prejudice rather than statemanship, or even good fiction in the prejudice of adoration. The evasion of theater audiences over the grimth picture is visible proof that there are still present in the good old U. S. A., a careless, thoughtless group of people seeking enter- listens with pleasure, while others assail me. I don't know about that, Mabel, but I do know this. We cannot prevent others speaking unkindly of our friends, but when it is done in our presence, we can and will defend the name of our friend, and if we are a real friend, we will see to it that the friend is never wounded by hearing it. I believe that is the way for a friend to act, but so few of the girls will do that. Auntie. Yes, I realize that the Friendship of today is a little different from what it was when I was a girl. Why Mabel, there is not a thing on earth to take the place of a friend. A real friend is one who sees our faults, but will tell them to us rather than to the public. A real friend is one to whom you can go for agapytis when the heart is burdened with grief and pain; one to whom you can go when in need of a favor, without fear of having. It published to the world. Mabel, there are numerous ways by which we can test real Friendship, but I have talked with you long enough. I agree with Edgar Guest when he says, "We face life with a lighter heart because we have a friend," and I can say that he who has one loyal friend is richer than he who has only worldly possessions. Goodbye, Mabel. Goodbye, Auntie. talmidment and the appeasing of vulgar desires, unmindful of truth, and immune to the glory and honor which really saturated the birth and life of the American nation. On to Philadelphia— Mayor Kendrick of Philadelphia has sent a personal invitation to President Kigg, of Liberia, to attend the Sequential Centennial Exposition, to be held under the auspices of the Sequential Centennial Exhibition Association in Fairmount Park, Philadelphia, in 1926. For the benefit of those who may have overlooked this opening festival, it was provided for by the Pennsylvania Legislature on April 18, 1921. Subsequently, the Sixty-seventh Congress of the United States, under H. J. Resolution No.170, in celebration of the one hundred and fifteenth anniversary of the signing of the Declaration, on Independence, suggested that the President of the United States should invite the participation and cooperation of the States of the Union and the Narrows of the World. Thus, the invitation extended to President King of Liberia, gives color to the situation and leads strength to the presumption that the brothers may have an antipublic place by the Pennsylvanian's coming celebration Pennsylvania has much to present in the way of an exhibition of the attributions of its Negro citizens. As far back as 1920, the U. S. Census gave Philadelphia a Negro population of 134,600 and upwards. Philadelphia now roundly assert that this population is now approaching the 200,000 mark. There is undoubtedly a reason for this. It must be admitted that executives and officials of the Keystone State, partly by sheer good—will and partly by pressure of the brothers themselves, have seen to it that the citizens of Pennsylvania have an 'active participation in the affairs of its government. Under Dr. Ellen C. Potter, Director of the State Department of Welfare, effective work has been done to make comfortable and healthy the State's Negro citizens. Experts from our own ranks such as Forrester B. Washington, A. L. Mauley, John T. Clark and others, have kept faithful watch upon the industrial and housing conditions which our Pennsylvania group has faced. Employment has been plentiful, and our race members have become thrifty, educated and promotive of genuine progress in an atmosphere normally free from prejudice and fall of political opportunities. The professions and businesses among our group have thrived in the Keystone State. It is to be evidently hoped that eminent colored ladies and gentlemen of this country as well as from over seas will receive invitations from Mayor Krydtrick to attend the training Exposition. Our race is proud of Pennsylvania and of Philadelphia, as to which it has a fullsome desire both to give and to receive worth and credit. The New World Symphony— The New World Symphony— "The musical soul of our own Harry Burleigh surged back and forth over the strings of Fritz Kreisler's magic violin, when that eminent artist played the "Negro Spiritual Melody" from Anton Dvorak's New World Symphony. The white press says, of Kreisler, greatest violinist since the days of Paganiin, in his rendition of the New World Symphony: "The artist was very expressive." Of Harry Burleigh, who soufully labored for months and months with Dvorak, the Russian, in perfecting the New World Symphony, the white press says nothing, leaving the world to presume that the artistry which produced such an outstanding work of musical endeavor was of purest white genres. The, unmusical layman of America, particularly the whites, do not seriously consider the Negro in the art world. They recognize the white vehicle which frequently conveys Negro art to the hungry public. When John MacCormick, the great British tenor, took the root of the New York Hippodrome, singing Barleigh's Little Mother of Mine, the audience thought of MacCormick, but not of our o'r a Burleigh.

It is good that musical souls are resonant without the abiding forces of color. There must be soul kinship in real, true art. Kreisler must feel the thrill of Burleigh's soul when he plays the New World Symphony, all of which proves that the color line is merely a delusion which foolish folk have elevated to a barriersh The New World could learn much from the Old World in soul kinship Burleigh, of the New World, and Dvorak of the Old World found soul kinship in producing the Symphony, and Kreisler, of the Old World, delights an audience of the New World with an admixture of the old and new worlds, produced by an artist from each imaginary sphere. Yet the same audience which, in Washington last week applauded the trick of artists, would quibble over a sofa in the same theatre, beside Burleigh, the Negro. What a delusion is the body as compared with the soul. Please tell us, which is the greater? Wreck of the Wreckers— tonight, no moon we see. Washingtonians, both white and black, are feverishly at work perfecting plans to fight the coming salty summer with reservoir water and sea salt, procurable at any first-class drug store. Other disappointees over the decision of the Senate to with hold appropriations for the public bathing beaches down on the cool Potomac, will, if financially able, make their way to Atlantic City or Asbury Park, where tradition has it that, since the Atlantic Ocean cannot well be divided, all people, regardless of color, may dash underneath her cooling waves and disport themselves in her bleaching sand; with out an appropriation from Congress or the troublesome task of separating the "sheep" from the "goats." You see, in Washington, it has become something like Longfellow's "Wreck of the Hesperus," which would run modernly, in the following strain: "Last year, the whites: had a bathing beach; This year no beach we see." In former years, the whites, of Washington, could, with the aid of Congress, cool off their tired, hot bodies in the tidal basin of the gentle Potomac River"; but, of course, custom in Washington is so different than it is in Coney Island that a bath tub, sometimes stationary and frequently portable, is as near an imitation as the colored toks have, as yet been able to get to the Potomac basin. Last year, some of the brothren concluded that they, too, needed a bathing beach, since the most of them spent a deal of time working to make Washington more comfortable for the white folks, both in winter and summer. The appropriation bill was prepared, and thousands of bucks were allotted for a public bathing beach for the colored folks of the Capital City. Right then and there, a belligerent section of the brothren concluded that they did not want a segregated beach. To add to the complications which were rapidly brought on by sponsors and opponents of the bathing beach project, white medical men and other scientists of Washington discovered that the first time that throat troubles were being caused by the public bathing beach, and that the bathing beach was, in fact, an unsanitary oasis if uncleanliness, despite its recreative dedication, dangerous to the public welfare and offending to thoughtful people. These allegations were augmented by the evidence that it was a displeasing spectacle to visiting tourists and others who were seeking the beauty spots of Washington to witness the antics of public beach bathers, either white or black, who were engaging in swimming and cooling recreations. in the face of such incontrovertible testimony, the Senate, with one decisive stroke, ruthlessly strack out the bathing beach appropriation for the colored people; and in doing so they also strack out the appropriation for the long-established beach enjoyed for so long and so continuously in the past by whites. Oh, suffry Washington summer how can we now combat them? Our loss is truly thy gain.

Harris has been instructor and di- loss of the Standard Life Insurance Company, long one of the pillars of pride of Race business, Negro insurance companies are making astounding strides forward. With the one exception mentioned, their progress has been most remarkable during the past decade. There is not a single backslider among the remainder, and the onward march of the North Carolina Mutual, the Liberty Life of Illinois, and the Supreme Casualty of Ohio would be a hard one for any of the white companies to equal in a proportionate way. White insurance companies have underwritten Negro business for years and years. Their returns have been tremendous from Negroes who have taken policies ranging from ten cents a week upwards. But the white insurance companies have taken care to save for their own race members the revenues derived from Negro business. It has been as difficult for a Negro to procure a representative position with the Metro politan or Equitable as it has been for him to work for an enterprise which was not deriving one single cent from his race. Furthermore these companies have been most careful to withhold from Negra applicants for insurance certain policies which they claimed the Negro was not entitled to because of the alleged high mortality of the Race. While it is true that certain white companies have co-operated whole, somely with movements to foster the health welfare of the Negro people it cannot be said that, aside from policy principals in those cases which were acceptable to the companies, the Negro insurer and insured have made any outstanding gains from white companies. The tide is turning with rapidity. Life and health are not being underwritten by Rave companies, and it is only a question of time when every phase of insurance can be procured from Rave companies, meaning great advancement, security and employment for Rave workers. We have never seen more orderly, better organized, or systematized insurance offices than those of a Negro company which we visited last week, and throughout the company's offices there was the quiet, serious atmosphere of safety as strong as Gliblar tar, and efficiency equal to the best. Negro insurance has come into its own. rector since its formation. Prof. and Mrs. Harris and Mrs. A. H.

In some instances, there is ample proof that the allegation is true. Why unscrupulous employers should desire to discount American labor with Mexican labor is hard to understand. The practice is un profitable and unpatriotic. It is, in fact, industrial treason. Furthermore, the customs of Mexican labor, as a group, are well known. Mexican labor is slothful, yielding only to driving tactics, and possessing no initiative or creative ability. Negro labor is, of course, one hundred per cent American labor, worthy of every consideration due to American workmen. To supplant American Negro workmen with any type of foreign-born workmen is to insult American production and American citizenship. The reason, then, for such a practice must be purely psychological ones, banefully applied and adhered to in the hope of obtaining some result other than efficiency in American production. If employers resorting to such unethical practices will not harken to appeals to forebear, then state and federal legislatures should make such unethical pursuits impossible of performance, and such employers should be roundly boycotted by American consumers: The way of the Negro worker is hard enough, and the competitions he has had to contend with are more than sufficient to stimulate him to dangerous endeavor. The unpatriotic theory of American work for foreign workmen is unworthy of an advent in this country, unless dire necessity has placed the backs of industry to the wall; and such is certainly not the cause at this writing. When American workmen, both white and black, are walking the streets in search of honest employment in the country whose resources they protect in times of war as well as peace.

Many Changes Being Made In Negro Nat'l League Clubs Rube Foster Is Rebuilding The American Giants. The Kansas City Monarchs In Big Trade. Cubans Will Be Stronger. CHICAGO, Ill., March 18.—The re- leasing of Grant, veteran first bas- eman; Dixon, veteran catcher; Whit- worth and Tom Williams, two o- mer manscars on the pitching staff. Jimmy Lyons, outfielder; Woffolks, the tall rook pitcher from Kentucky, and the goof of Pitcher Ride to Indianapolis and the seeding of Roth to Binghamham by. Andrew Rube Foster, is the first big move on the part of the owner of the American Giants to rebuild his team with an eye on the coming championship fight. With this move comes the announcement from Wilkerson, owner of the world champion Kansas City Monarchs, that Wade Johnson of Baltimore comes back to Kansas City in trade for Heavy Johnson, the home run king. The Indianapolis club is seizing, around for new players. The signing of William Dismukes by Babbles Lewis, owner of the Memphis Red Sox, is another big move in the Negro National League, as Memphis has bolstered up its weakest spot. Dismukes, an experienced pitcher, schooled under the late C. J. Taylor, is sure to make good. At Buddy Petway retains the managerial of the new club, although Bleount's action has forced a change in the ownership. The Detroit roster of players reminisces the same. The Monarchs, with the exception of the Johnson trade, will present the same lineup as in 1921, when they not only over the National League championship but copped the world series money and title from the crack Hildale club of the Eastern League. Joe Rush has signed W. B. Paterson of Houston, Texas, the late manager of the Houston Buffaloes, O. pilot has 1925 outfit. The Birmingham Black Barons expect to finish well up in the first division. The Cubans will bring a stronger club this season. Foster has not signed Wure, the young first-sacker from Wiley, this year. On the initial sack may be found John Donaldson, late of the Kansas City Monarchs, and if matters cannot be straightened out with the player or the former owners of his services, Foster will have to use Jim Brown or Torrienti at first His addition to his staff of Frank Stevens, outfielder and pitcher; Taylor, outfielder, and McCull, pitcher, leaves the Giants in pretty good fighting shape. Bubbles Anderson, terack second sacker, has also been added to the list of the American Giants. Memphis Red Sox Defeated By A Picked Nine HOT SPRINGS. Arks.

The League swings into action in the first half of its pennant show on the first Sunday in May, which gives the Giants three games on Sundays before that date. With Willie Foster Owens and Ross in school, Foster will have to go along with the balance, of his hurling staff until the latter part of May.

LOUIS STARS' BALL CLUB By BILLY DONALDSON Umpire, Negro National League Caing on' the owners of the St. Louis Stars at the old "roll top desk." I was able to extract a bit of valued news from them. Everything seemed to look well for the future. Jim Taylor will report here on the 246 to get everything ready for spring practice, which begins April 1. Then the fans of Compton Avenue play grounds will have a place to spend the veterans and recruits fight it out for a regular position on the line up for the coming campaigns of the 1925 season. There will be two men trying for every position on the club. This will make battle for a regular will be wed contested during the spring training. Many To Chose From Louis's owners are not over looking anything to give St. Louis a peanut contender. They are keep- ing the wire busy trying to land se- veral stars, whose names I do not care to mention at this writing; but from favorable report I am assured that the management will be able to swine these deals. Manager Jim Taylor has at pres- ent the following players to pick from. On the catching staff will be Murray, who is at Chicago having his throw- ing hand treated. Bonner, a bustling chap is sure to press Murray very hard for first string catcher, and also Spencer Butcher of California, a hard hitting and fleet-footed back stop. Butcher can also play outfit- as well as catch; likewise Dan Kea- nard, a veteran. The pitching staff will be composed of Ross, Davis, Hensley and Myers-right handers, and D. Miller, Leftie Robfason and Eddie Wells, southpaws. The last named is a St. Louis boy. He will have a thorough try out under the watchful eye of Manager Taylor. The infield will probably be the same, with Bolo, the clever first baseman; Devil Wells, the sensational boy wonder at short; Steel arm Creasy guarding third base; Eddie Watts is not so sure as a regular. He will have to fight it out with a veteran star. If the management can swing the deal. The outfield will consist of Reddin in left; Left Belt, center; Russell and Blackwell fighting it out for right Russel, a versatile player, can hold down infield positions also. Reces will fill the roll of utility outfielder. Owners of the St. Louis Stars are determined to have a pennant contender. If any of these men slump they will be beached and reserves will be carried out to fill their places. Percy (Tray) Richard and Prince McKelly have organized a roader club, 200 strong, which will appear at the Compton Ave. play ground on the opening date with a jazz band and furnish much excitement during the game. Warren (Doe) Lewis will be on hand to furnish the fans with merry making gestures. Alfred (Bum) Bruce, the barbecue king of Compton avenue, has just put in an advanced order for thirty pounds of pork for free sandwiches, which he will give away if the stars lose the opening game. I tried hard to locate "Stunny" the announcer. He could not be found anywhere, but from responsi- source he will be on hand to call out the batteries on the opening day. It looks like it will be a banner year for the Stars. DeHART HUBBARD EQUALS RECORD MADE IN 1914 DeHART HUBBARD EQUALS RECORD MADE IN 1914 EVANSTON, FL. March 13.—De Hart Hubbard of Michigan University, Olympics broad jump champion, is winning first place in the $2000 dash in a track meet at Northwestern University. Saturday, not only enabled his school to capture the Western Conference indoor track champion, but also forced him to equal the Conference record of 522.5, which was made by Murray of Illinois, in 1911.

BATTLING SIKI FIGHTS GAME BATTLE, BUT LOSES NEW YORK, March 18. - Batflier Siki hit another fall in his up and down pugnall career last Saturday when he was not, and defeated by Paul Belnachuk. The Sengalese, as usual, proved a game fighter, but his lack of science played him almost at the mercy of his crafty toe. The fight, which was scheduled to go twelve rounds, started out rather sluggardly, with Siki, fighting his usual crouching, and springing style, and with his opponent well trained to meet his peculiar attack, breaking through his guard and pounding, thin viciously, for every one of his blows Siki received two in return. He, however, put up a shruger defense in the latter rounds of the fight. Siki was suffering from a swollen and cut face at the beginning of the tenth round, but he went after his opponent doggedly. His defense had broken 'down completely' and the New York flagged his bruised face dorsely, until 'a berrific straight right caught him in the jaw and caused him to slak, but he caught himself and padded up to play. The referee seeing the hopelessness of the Senegalian grit and the uncleanness of the punishment se was suffering declared him out and the light went to his opponent. Even then Siki plead- John T. Gibson Donates $100,000 Grounds For 20 Tennis Courts THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS. Director National Champion 1922-23 PHILADELPHIA, March 18—Mr. John T. Gibson, millionaire owner of the Dunbar and Standard Theatres in Philadelphia, has donated to the people of this city and the American Tennis Association, a $100,000 property with plans to build 20 tennis courts for all local and national tournaments. The groups are located at 4th and Reed streets, ten blocks from the colored N. M. C. A. or Christian street, with splendid facilities for a concrete grand stand. The gift of Mr. Gibson's is the largest ever made for the promotion of outdoor sports, and will go far toward popularizing tennis, all over the country. It will undoubtedly lead to schools like Wilberforce, Hampton, Tuskegee, Morgan, Howard, Morehouse, Shaw University, Bordentown and hundreds of other colleges and high schools giving this fascinating game its proper place at the top in the development of individual athlete prowess and mental gymnastic. This colored Forest Hills will honor the generosity and vision of its donor and benefactor when the American Tennis Association with proper ceremonies will accept and christen it, the John T. Gibson National Tennis Club, which will afford permanent and adequate courts, for ed for the referee to let him stay to the limit. The fans cheered the Senegalese as he stepped out of the ring and danced to the dressing room as if nothing had happened. Hampton Awards Letters To Championship Five Associated Negro Press HAMPTON, A. M. Merrick—Hampton's basketball season officially closed with the awarding of varsity "Hi." to seven members of this season's Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association championship team and the rejection of Chester R. Jones, of New Rochelle, New York, as captain-elect for next year. Hampton won the title by winning ten straight games in the Association, defeating each member at least once. Hampton's one defeat of the season came in an extra period when Morehouse College—the first overtime basketball contest ever lost by the "Seasiders." Those athletes upon whom the honor of wearing the varsity insignia was bestowed are: Capt. Chester R. Jones, guard, New Rochelle, N. Y.; William H. Lambright, Jr., Kansas City, Kans.; M.

Dempsey-Wills Must Meet In Decision Bout, Says Board Dempsey-Wills Must Meet In Decision Bout, Says Board *Preston News Service.* NEW YORK, Mar. 18—Jack Dempsey is free to defend his heavyweight title in any part of the world, but the bout must go to a decision and his opponent must be Harry Wills, the New Orleans Challenger. If the champion desires not to incur the displeasure of the New York State Athletic Commission. "The runner has spread," said James A. Farley, chairman of the body, "that we will not countenance a match between Dempsey and Wills in New Jersey. This is very true, but it is not because we do not want our neighbors to steal the bout; it is because no decisions are rendered in that state, and Wills could only win the title by scoring a knockout. *Dempsey may fight Wills any place where a wardrict is handed down at the end of the bout. Do not think we will insist that the match must come to New York.* Forfeit Posted "Of course, we would like this State to receive the benefit of the taxes which will accrue from the bout, but our main idea is to get an acceptance or a refusal to Wills' challenge. Wills has posted his challenge as well as a forfeit. We are interested only in Dempsey's yes or no." After that we are through: It is then up to the promoters to do the rest."

In the Realm of Sports PRESTON NEWS SERVICE Foreword:—This column is intended to give a brief resume and unbiased standpoint, with the sole intention of promoting Negro athletes, both amateur and professional. QUAKER CITY "MAG" WAKES UP News releases from the East bring us the information that, "Finnegan" Santop, the heavy-clothing backstomper, who was "fired" by the Hilldale club, has been "hired" again, it appears. This effort on the part of the Darby magnate, to retract his first "flash" on the situation of cutting down salaries and ridding himself of one of his greatest drawing cards is worthy of more than passing notice. For some time, or ever since, the East and the West reached an understanding in baseball, the rumor, has been going the rounds that one of the outstanding reasons for the merger was with the idea t orduce the payrolls. It is no secret that salaries have been slashed right and left. Many of the oldtimers are finding themselves suddenly out in the cold, with nothing but time on their hands. In keeping with this idea Darby saw fit to release Santop, a fixture in the Quaker City for many years. Then, right on top of this someone from the Clan of Darby erred mightily when the release was sent out that Santop was one of the greatest catchers and one of the greatest drawing cards in baseball. Immediately sport writers and critics went after Monsieur Bolden, tooth and toenail. Why, they argued, was a man released if he proved himself such a valuable asset to his team? And evidently Bolden reconsidered. Santop is now back "home" and all's well at Darby. Are certain families innocuated with the 'athletic producing germ?' Taking it from the results-produced by a Pittsburgh family, such would seem so. Occasion for this item follows the selection of an All-Schol. astic basketball team, which appeared in the Gazette-Times recently, in which William "Letty" Allen, a junior at the Westinghouse High School, was chosen as center on the first team. This, in itself, is a unique honor. But the youngster does not stop here. In addition to his ability on the court, he is an all-round athlete, playing baseball, football and is a track man of no mean ability. But, he is just one of a group of four athletes out of one family. His oldest brother, Emmett, covered himself with glory as a football player with the old Fifth Avenue High School eleven, and seemed cut out for an athletic career, when the Big War came along and he went over seas, serving as a sergeant with the famous 11st Field Artillery of Pittsburgh. Another brother, John, also distinguished himself on the baseball team of the same high school, playing third base. He was one of the fastest track men ever produced there, being a part of the all-famous Negro Elway team of that school, which in 1917 hung up a new scholastic relay record. The team was composed of Allen, Nunn, now City Editor of The Pittsburgh Courier, Gooden, who played later with Rube Foster and other league teams in the West, and Edward Flood, now in New York City. This youth later played with the Homestead Grays and Sell Hall's clubs, and is regarded as one of the best infielders produced on Pittsburgh sand lots. List, but not least, in the coteries of this amazing "family of athletes" comes Miss Bub Alen. Surrounded by unusual athletic talent and ability, this young lass who is attending the Westinghouse High School, stepped out a couple of years ago and broke practically every girl's record in the city go far as truck was concerned. She holds almost as many records as Welsmuller, and to her another's record is just made in order that she may break it. Truly a great athlete the family. Wade Johnson, who hails from the little town of Steubenville, Ohio, banked by rivers, and filled with pretty country hussies, has gone West in one of the biggest trades of the prestile battle. Wade goes back to his old love, Kansas City, while the Baltimore Black Sox, who formerly held the key to his services, will get an even break in the trade when they get another Johnson, "Heavy" by name. The self-letter believes he is never treated right or appreciated, that the boss has a grudge against him and that he is never understood. Discovers A Good Umpire Prospect In Muny League By R. C. Fisher The steady pro guest Henry "Chief" Cooper has made in the City Baseball League as an umpire, has caught the criti- ties eyes who are engaged in the game. For three successive years he has worked as an umpire in the Municipal League, a semi- pro organization of the best nines in the city. The dou- ble umpire sy umpire, has caught the critics' eyes who are engaged in the game. For three successive years he has worked as an umpire in the Municipal League, a semi-pro organization composed of the best players in the city. The double umpire system and Cooper has usually worked the ball and strike with very good judgment. He has made a record himself and deserves a try out 30k time. If teamed up with a veteran he would find little difficulty in making the grade. He is alert, fearless and impartial. I have observed him closely for some time and in the crucial moment his judgment is keen and exact. He is seldom "razzed" and that is one test of a good umpire. I happened to meet Billy Donaldson, one of the league's best umpires, and asked him his opinion of Cooper. He readily answered that this boy deserved a try out with the Negro National League, and he was most assured that he would make good. Donaldson is a very good judge of umpires, and should know a prospect when he sees one. MRS.

The call for true patriotic and loyal Negroes 45 rally in their own defense is louder than ever before. The call is not in the same old tune that we have heard to these many years. The call comes in a new voice. It is telling men and women to arise in self defense; to no longer follow blindly after party labels regardless to who is put forward for your consideration. One, Victor J. Miller, by some mysterious way, is now the Republican nominee for mayor, to be voted upon at the coming election. Before the primary, we stated that we did not believe he was the best qualified for the place. This belief, on our part, was shared by over seventy-six thousand other Republican voters of the city. So far as we are able to see or learn, there has been no change in Miller since his nomination, except his hangar around the Republican City Committee, "worshipping" those candidates, whom he demanded before the primary. Yes, he is not shivering" up Limoni Koch, too. Whether he is trying to soft soap these politicians or not, we do not know, but we do know that he is either insane now or he was "playing politics" before the primary. We know we have not undergone any miraculous change to the extent that we now must call what we believe to be evil "good." We believe that the same influences that dominated him before his nomination, contagued him now. The party label is no magic dust with us. We see now just as we have said in the past, that we always reserve the right to rebel when the party attempts to crush down our throats any old thing. While we believe in party loyalty, we also declare that our first duty is to ourselves. People who think for themselves, vote for men and measures regardless of party, inclitions. Remember the case of Brewster vs. Reed for satire. South St. Louis almost went solid for Jas. Reed, T. Democrat, against R. R. Brewster, the Republican candidate. He entered St. Louis by about 10,000 votes, yet this is regained as a Republican city. Do you, dear reader, understand how this was done? It was done only by thought. The Republicans elected Harry R. Hancock to Congress last fall over Micheal J. Hart, a Republican. Why? It's playing the game. That's what we will voting intelligently; that's using the ballot as it was intended to be used; that's using the ballot for offense and deceive. These people who thus voted, considered it no crime to exercise their rights as voters. They remained in the Republican party, so they refused to vote for a man on the ticket they did not wish. We opposed Victor J. Miller for the Republican nomination for governor of what we believed to be his Klan confederacy. We felt it is our duty to play safe and steer clear of the Klan influence, if possible, especially in the selection of a chief executive of the city. Writing on our devotion to what we believe to be our duty, we preface to take no chances of supporting the Ku Klux Klan by voting for Victor J. Miller for mayor. "Just down, the Klan and save the nation."—John S. Leahy. If course we realize that most of us vote by sentiment and have a hard thought of the responsibility that goes with the ballet, but quickly it is high tides for us to think, and think seriously. If we are a than mayor to reform, big, rewards us of the fool-talk, and the morris, a gift to reform him. It can't be done.

McFIELD Storey of Boston, a trustee of the National Association for the education, celebrated his eighteenth birthday the branches of the N.A.A.C.P. sent me as well as flowers to Mr. Storey in an address he has pondered the Association since he was a boy and it should be. We don't utter who has done more in defense of the colored people of America than he, who, at his own expense, appeared at the United States and succeeded to declare the residential segregation laws to Hon. Moorfield Shorey of Boston, who is the National President of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, celebrated his eighteenth birthday. Many of the branches of the N. A. A. C. P. sent messages of congratulations, as well as flowers to Mr. Storey in appreciation because he has pandered the Association since he has been sent. We think this is proper and so it should be. We know of no more of the country who has done more in defense of the citizen's rights of the coloured people of America than Moorfield Shorey. It was he, when at his own expense, appeared before the Supreme Court of the United States and succeeded in having tribunal declare the residential segregation in invalid. arrested as that time. That the laws were equitable and just in much as they prohibited withdrawn from moving into white houses. To this argument, Mr. Storey said: "It would be just as reasonable to say that because one man did not care to degrade through the other fellow cannot risk." It is quite natural for mere in a civilized country, to seek to advance himself and try to better his condition, but the segregation laws have sought to keep the race down and relegate him to the ghettos. In turn for the cases of the twelve colored men condemned to the Arkansas for alleged part in the Claine riots, Mr. Storey proceed to the satisfaction of the Supreme Court that a condition secured in the mist of mob was denying the victim an equal chance before the law. Segregation by agreement of property owners has been held legal by some of the lower courts of the land. A test case is now before the Supreme Court of the United States, and Mr. Storey is preparing to argue that new phase of segregation in the near future. In rendering his service, Mr. Storey has not only helped the colored people, but he has rendered invaluable service to this nation, because every time some patriotic broad-gaged American puts himself in the breach and makes a fight and wins for the causes of right and justice, all the people are the beneficiaries of his noble acts. This legal service has been rendered by Mr. Storey without money and without price. Such services might cost a hundred thousand dollars under other circumstances. This, we hold, shows quite plainly the greatness of the man. Few Americans, no doubt, will be able to appreciate what Mr. Storey has done for the nation. It is quite fitting and proper, therefore, for the branches of the N. A. A. C. P. throughout the land, to honor their president on this his eighteenth birthday. THE ST.

Will Not Vote For Miller A Republican With an Independent Thought. In the primary election held March 16, there were five candidates for the Mayoralty on the Republican ticket, and L. A. REPUBLICAN WITH AN INDEPENDENT THOUGHT cast my ballot for The Hon. L. P. Alco, as did more than 65,000 other thoughtful citizens, because I believed he was best suited for the office of Mayor. The 45,500 persons that voted against Victor J. Miller still think that he is not the right man for the office. Therefore he is dominated on the republican ticket, and the Hon. Judge is the choice of the democrats. I a "Republican with an independent Thought," have come to the conclusion that I must make a choice between Win. L. Igee and Victor J. Miller as to the best fitted for the office of Mayor. In the primary election I did not think Victor Miller was the man for the office, and at the regular election I will be of the same opinion, and I intend to use my influence according to my opinion. Will he pleased to receive suggestions along these lines from any one that is interested. DR. A. S. MORGAN. 1119 N. Sarah St. Lindell 6279 Negro For School Board Editor of the St. Louis Argus. The Keystone organization is offering these resolutions for publication in order to arouse the interest of our concern in matters which directly concern them, and also requesting the Areas to call a meeting Saturday afternoon for the purpose of selecting a candidate for the Board of Education. Resolution as follows: Whereas, we have no representation on the Board of Education, and very likely never will unless we go at it by way of the ballot route and elect a candidate. Tails can and should be done. Whereas, petitions could be drawn up with apparent ease at said meetings, and we could proceed to have them properly signed Saturday evening and Sunday and present them Monday, March 24.25: Do it therefore resolved that the Keystone organization links its forces with the other organizations in an effort to elect a Negro to the Board of Education that we select one whose character, qualifications, and fitness can not be questioned and then go right straight down the line for our candidate in the frost rain, and snow just as we did on the Fifth for Aloe, Tilber, and Gromm. We beg leave here to suggest the names of some candidates that would suit us and there are others, Judge Clark, Attorney Powell, Prof. Howles, Dr. Powell, Mr. or Mrs. Dr. Curtis, Vaughan, G. H.

MUSIC, ART, DRAMA AND LITERATURE MUSIC, ART, DRAMA AND LITERATURE By RICHAFD JACKSON One of the big things that the women of Illinois are doing is working to arouse worthwhile interest in and a true appreciation for art among the many communities of their state. They are setting an example of obvious value to the women all over the country, for it is their tender responsive nature that makes them more effective crusaders for the cause of art in every community throughout the land, whether it be in the slums of New York or the Flower gardens of Pasadena. Art's cause is an equally great one in either place, for its elevating and inspiring tendencies knows all humanity alike. Mrs. Charles W. Leigh, (white) Chairman of the Illinois Federation of Women's Clubs, struck the keynote of the significance of art in the life of every community last week in a talk at a dinner given a group of women who have been instrumental in the development of art and the beautiful by the Allied Arts Association. Fortunately excerpts from the beautiful and deeply human talk by Mrs. Leigh were saved and published, so that those who could derive the greatest benefits from them might read them and catch the grand message that they convey. Believing that art is not only a "cultural asset," but of vital interest to successful and happy living for all of us, for out communities and for our nation," members of the Illinois Federation of Women's Clubs, led by its department of art, have commissioned themselves to the cause of education in bringing that realization to the community. Mrs. Leigh defended in her message: "It seems that today we are on the verge of a Renaissance in Art," she went on. "There has never been so widespread an understanding value of beauty and an appreciation of artistic products. Yet, a great multitude of our unthinking public still considers art a nonessential in their lives. Our great work is to so educate ourselves for art that we can educate others. "The spiritual side of our lives comes through the home—it comes from the souls of those living there—and so to have this home feeling we must create the atmosphere of beauty, of more restful and more comfortable homes. To be able to have this beauty we must follow the basic laws of order, rhythm, proportion and harmonious color relations. "Our greatest happiness in life comes from things not material—it comes from love of beauty, satisfied. Though we traveled the world over to find beauty, we must have it within us or we just it not." "And so we find that art is the expression of the life and thoughts of a people." "If there are to be more beautiful homes in America, there must be more schools in which to train the talented young people to become designers." Mrs. Leigh asserted, in urging assistance in the establishment of the Industrial Art School at Chicago Art Institute. "Our boys and girls are the men and women of tomorrow and we must realize that if we are ever going to have a great national Art, it must come through the universal education of our children." SQUIBBS The Howard University Symphony Orchestra, after some three years training under Dorcy Rhodes, formerly connected with one of the U.S. Army bands, has developed into a most representative organization. From an conglomeration of half-trained musical students who were totally inexperienced in ensemble playing, and who were for the most part mere beginners on their instruments, Mr. Rhibbes has developed at Howard one of the best. Negro bands in the country, as was ceded by music critics after Howard's success in the professional band contest at Philadelphia on Thanksgiving, 1923. From this same material he has molded a remarkable symphony orchestra. A number of concerts have been recently given by the University Orchestra. It participated in the Artists' Solitaire program and reordered special selections in the University chapel in connection with a lecture by Dr. Albert Bassnell Hart. The orchestra participated in the inaugural musical program on the east steps of the Capitol on the evening of March 4. James Weldon Johnson's poem, "The astraction, a Negro Sermon," has been set to music by Louis Gruenberg one of the leading modern composers now in Paris.

The Cape Girardeau "Star Singers" were called on for a recital at Advance, Mo.

Various selections were rendered by the singers, which filled the hearts of the whites with joy to hear classical music of our race.

A. C. P. failed to meet.** Sunday services at Second Baptist were nicely attended. A good S. S. lesson. They were visited by the district missionary, Rev. C. R. Bell, who made a report of the Sunday schools he had, visited and made interesting remarks encouraging the S. S. workers. The hour being late, the election of officers was postponed. Pastor Reavens introduced the missionary, who after a few preliminaries, asked the chair and congregation to assist him in singing Twilight, glory, then took for his text I Tim. 4:8 Subject. "The benefit of true religion." He electrified the self-congregation, causing a self-examination and the praises of God were made known by the Christians. It was a great and glorious service. At 6:30 p.m. the B. Y. P. U. was nicely attended, and the missionary, addressed them in a pleasing and instructive manner, giving strength and encouragement to the workers, which all enjoyed. **Evening service was largely attended. After opening devotionals, the missionary was again introduced. He gave a short synopsis of his tour over the district, which, in part was encouraging, then took for his text John 15, part of the 6th verse. For without me we can do nothing. Subject. "The multiscale Christ." It was a great sermon, which appeased the Christians to halluajahs. Several sermons came up for prayer. Two additions to the church. **Sunday service at St. James was nicely attended. Sunday afternoon is missionary rally and program.*** A great deal of sickness is still in the city. **Mr. Lizzie Bollinger seems to be improving at this writing.** **Bro.
