BIRTH OF NATION KICKED OUT OF WEST VIRGINIA An Exponent of Truth and Justice State Supreme Court Bars Forever Infamous Film Whioh Stirs Up Race Hate Case Grows Out Of An Injunction Suit. Mayor Wertz And City Atty. Rumminel Of Charleston Praised For Their Stand. CHARLESTON, W. Va., April 13.—Colored citizens of Charleston and of the State of West Virginia have won a great victory before the State Supreme Court which has decided that "The Birth of a Nation" shall not be exhibited in the Rialto Theatre in Charleston. "The Birth of a Nation" was to be shown April 1 to 4, and the city had been flooded with advertisements Thursday afternoon, March 20, T. G. Nutter, President of the Charleston Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, together with W. W. Sanders, Vice-President of the N. A. A. C. P. school and State Supervisors of Negro schools; Capt. E. F. Ergison, hotel proprietor and former, member of the N. A. A. C. P. branch executive committee, called up Mayor W. W. Wertz. The delegation protested against the film being shown in violation of a special law which colored leaders put through the legislature in 1915, expressly to prohibit this film. Mr. Nutter informed Mayor Wertz he had power to prevent the showing under that status as well as by exercise of the police power of the city. The Mayor after consultation with the City Solicitor notified the theatre management that he the Birth of a Nation, should be shown and that the film would be made to show it he would confiscate the film and arrest the manager and all the employees of the theatre, also any owner of the film, who might be in Charleston. The Mayor asked Attorney T. G. Nutter to prepare the necessary affidavits describing the film and showing violation of the law. Thereupon the management-assessed for a committee of colored citizens to view the picture to see if objectionable portions could be cut out. Through Mr. Nutter 30 colored people appeared, but declined to reach any agreement other than withdrawal of the film. The management hold up the film long enough to apply to the Judge of the Common Pleas Court of Kanawa County for an injunction restraining Mayor Wertz and Chief of Police John Britten from interfering with the film. Judge Owen granted a temporary injunction and the picture was shown twice that day. Appeal to the Circuit Court the next day resulted in dissolution of the injunction and the picture was not shown the day. The following day, Friday, April 3, the theatre people applied to the Supreme Court of Appeals for an appeal and supersedees from the order dissolving the injunction. The Virginia Amusement Co., in its petition set forth that the Mayor's threat to arrest all the theatre employees and to seize film and projection apparatus would be confiscation of property without the process of law. The Mayor replied that nothing would be done to interfere with the production until the scene as reached where "A white girl is chased by a Negro from a spring and she jumps from a precepice; the moment that part of the picture was reached warrants would be served and film and machine would be taken as evidence." The Judge held warrants could be served and arrests made but film and machine could not be seized and issued a sweeping injunction prohibiting the Mayor and the Police Chief from interfering with "The Birth of a Nation." This injunction was dissolved by the Circuit Court Indies on the ground that "City authorities had a right to make the arrest under proper warrants charging that a crime had been committed and to seize the film, machine and other paraphernalia used in the production of the picture as evidence of the crime." This decision was mannually sustained by the State Supreme Court. Mr. Nutter, who assisted the city officials throughout the fight, writes: "The fight made by Mayor W. W. Wertz and City Solicitor, ex Judge H. D. Rummel, stands unparalleled in the history of the state. They made it a personal affair transcending mere official duty. Mayor Wertz was with the committee that witnessed the picture Tuesday evening and as soon as it was over, rushed to the manager of the Haito without consulting the committee and said: "The most thing I ever saw, and I cannot understand why any law adding citizen should bring such a picture to Charleston. It will not be shown so long as I am Mayor of Charleston." Mr. Nutter states that in the fight he had the support of the cuttie colored citizenship of the city. The N. A. A. C. P. has extended congratulations to Mr. Nutter and is writing letters of appreciation to Mayer Wortz and City Sollicitor Romminel.

NEW YORK, April 15—The handing of his resignation as leader of the famous Fifteenth New York colored regiment, by Colonel Arthur Little, was fighting champion for the rights of the colored regiment and colored officers, has created quite an unequal in political activities here. It is well known that the white colonel's act of creating new colonels officers and the advancing of others was greatly opposed. His act of nominating six top sergeants caused much complaint among the State National Guard. This and other tendencies on an unpatriotic and undemocratic spirit are believed to have had much to do with the resignation of Colonel Little. In his resignation, however, the "square deal" Colonel saw his last big chance to help his colored comrades, and then advocated a colored Colonel to succeed him. The colored citizens of New York are everywhere in their power nevertheless, to prevent the destruction of the square shouldered. Yankee leader, whose period of Colonelship has seen the erection of the costly Armory, now housing the Fifteenth, and the beginning of plans 'to build a dormitory, officers quarters, an athletic field and play ground for the regiment on the banks of the Harlem river. SCIENTIST BLASTS RACE SUPERIORITY THEORY Dr. John B. Watson, Famous Scientist Declares That Mental Traits Art Not Inherited—All Races Born Equal. NEW YORK, April 15—Dr. John B. Watson, famous scientist, widely known for his research in physiological psychology, in a lecture delivered here blasted the theory of inheritance of mental traits upon which the arguments supporting Nordic superiority are based. All races are equally born and have equal physical change in life according to the ex-John Hopkins and present Columbia University pro- Traits Not Inheritable Dr. Watson declares: "No child is righthearted or lefthanded at birth. There is no inheriting of mental characteristics. There is no such thing as being born with an "inner self" or a baser nature. Those possessions are acquired. The so-called "human nature," with which a person is popularly supposed to be born—that convenient excuse for making mistakes—is a myth. As a new-born baby is totally free from it, is not "prone to err." "There is," Dr. Watson insists, "no evidence to support the determined belief of most psychologists that man is born with the instincts of the imagination, immunity, assigned character, emotion and rivalry, pugnacity, anger, resentment, sympathy, hunting, appropriation, acquaintiveness, kleptomania, constructiveness, play curiosity, sensitivity, stress clearness, modesty, jealousy and parental love. (This is the famous list compiled by William James). All these, it seems, are learned. More concretely, no one is born with such things as consciousness, mental states or complexes, will imagination and all other complimentary sensations. Lack Scientific Evidence "No one is born with special talents or genius." Dr. Watson maintains, "We do not have the whole body. There is no scientific evidence available to prove that the white infant is instinctively superior to the black, yellow or brown infant. Neither is there any scientific evidence to support the view that a child born of Nordic parents is instinctively superior at birth to the Slav. Somatic or Latin child." APPOINT RACE WOMAN TO Y. W. C. A. NATL BOARD NEW YORK. April 15.—After officiating for many years as chairman of the 133th Street Branch of the Young Women's Christian Association for colored, and also serving New York City Y.

BUSINESS OF RACE THRIVES IN SOUTHLAND Survey Shows Negroes Have Many Powerful Financial Institutions. Three Banks Have $1,000,000 Deposits. From The Seattle, Wash. Enterprise To a traveler who will take the pains to investigate Negro life in the south, at first hand and from a new angle of approach, one of the first things to attract his attention will be to in nearly every southern city there or developing a Negro business section. In the smaller cities and towns, it may be limited to a block, but in the larger cities like Birmingham, Savannah, Atlanta, Durham, Jacksonville, Richmond, Memphis, Little Rock, Oklahoma City, Hot Springs and Dallas, the Negro business section will be found to comprise several blocks, usually radiating from a common point in which will be found on or more large modern office buildings besides up-to-date business establishments such as shoe stores, haberdasheries, groceries, movie theaters, the insecure restaurant and dine-in and dining establishments, along with the offices of physicians, lawyers, dentists, real estate and insurance agen- Operate 80 Banks In 1922 there were 80 banks extending from Pennsylvania to Texas. One of the most recent and important events in Negro business was the organization last summer of the National Negro Finance corporation, having an authorized capital of $100,000, with headquarters at Durham, N. C. Behind it is the solid support of the Negro business world as represented by the National Negro Business league, an organization founded by Dr. Booker T. Washington 25 years ago for the encouragement of business among Negroes. The finance corporation was promoted by the business league. In nearly every one of the larger cities of the south there is at least one Negro bank. Some of them have more than one, Richmond enjoys the distinction of having a Negro bank whose president is a woman. She is the first woman to be a bank president in the United States, heading the St. Luke's Poor Sayings bank for more than 20 years. Those of these banks each carry more than $1,000, 10 in deposits, one in Memphis, one a Durham and one a Savannah. In deposits, one in Memphis, one a Durham and one a Savannah. Internal and benevolent orders are contributing much to the development of business among Negroes by the investment of their endowment funds in worthy enterprises. In Hat St. Shrines, Ark. the Woodmen of Union owe and operate a $100,000-bathhouse and the Knights of Pythons own a similar institution with approximately the same capital investment. In Birmingham, Ala., the Masons of the state have recently completed a temple costing $25,500. This building, like many others owned by Negroes, was planned and constructed equally by a firm of Negro contractors, Widman Brothers of Birmingham, Ala, the volume of whose business this year approximates $3,000,000. An interested observer will find one or more striking examples of the rapid strides of business among Negroes. In Nashville, Tenn., he will find a $900,000 publishing house, recently erected by the National Baptist convention, incorporated, operated, managed and owned entirely by Negroes, conducting its business on one of the most prominent streets of that city. Insurance Thriving One of the strengths of Negro business power is the National Negro Insurance Association. At their annual meeting in Chicago last August, subsidiary to the National Negro Business began the 25 companies represented at that meeting reported $200,000,000, worth of insurance in force on the lives of 1,000,000 people. Employ 800 Negroes This group alone gives employment to over 8000 Negroes as agents, bookkeepers, statisticians, accountants and other workers, in insurance. Among the companies represented was the Banker’s Fire Insurance Company of Durham, N. C., the first fire insurance company among Negroes, which began operations in 1921, and today has 9,000,500 worth of insurance in force. RECEIVES DOCTORATE FROM THE U. OF PARIS WASHINGTON, D.

Once Convicted Of Slaying Officer, Won Stay Of Execution And Finally A Reversal By Supreme Court - In his second trial, accused of murder in the first degree in connection with the death of Special Police Officer Michael Finn, Spencer Jordan was given a life sentence by a jury in Judge Taylor's Court, Thursday. In the first trial, which was about two years ago, Jordan received the death sentence, but through his attorney, Freeman L. Martin, he was granted a release of the convicted man. The case has been stubbornly fought by the state through the office of Circuit Attorney Sidney, with all the power and influence of the police department behind it. Despite this Jordan was saved from the gallows. Attorney Martin, who defended Jordan, relied upon the "self defense" testimony of Jordan, as it was said that at the time the officers approached Jordan and his brother in law, Henry Page, he thought they were highwaymen when they commanded him to "shoot" him up. Mr Martin also said that the police shot shots directly Jordan did not kill the dead officer, but that the shots from some other officer must have inflicted the fatal wounds. He thought that no further officers will be made in Jordan's behalf at the present. 7 WASHINGTONIANS SUE RAILROAD FOR $30,000 WASHINGTON, D. C.

A Square Deal For Every Man Theodore Lothrop Stoddard Says That Japan's Ambition For World Power Is Still Growing. Danger Of Awakening All Darker Races Of The World Which Outnumber Whites Two To One. SACRAMENTO, Cal. April 15—According to Theodore Stoddard Stoddard, author of the alarmingly scandal book, "The Rising Tale of Color," the white race must conserve the forces which have placed it at the head of civilization if it is to successfully withstand the vigorous enshung of the awkward race of the most in their bid for world power and domination. According to Stoddard's statement, Japan with her 60,000,000 people wants the leadership of the 500,000,000 of the yellow races and the hundreds of the blacks in the dream of the downfall of the whites. The whites of the earth, 550,000,000 strong must hold out against 1,500,000,000 blacks, a two-to-one ratio that is fast increasing in favor of the blacks by reason of the falling birth rate among the white people. "For the time being Japan's ambitions have been checked," Stoddard says. The Washington conference ending the Anglo-Japanese alliance and solidifying the white races bordering the Pacific, the terrible industrial depression in Japan following the war and the earthquakes have hit Nippon with hard blows. There is no immediate danger of war with Japan, for she realizes, that to make the world safer, White people is superficially better, the elements of danger are still at work. Stoddard thinks the only thing possible in excluding Japanese by law. "If we let them, the orientals would be swarming over our Pacific borders in overwhelming numbers. In Hawaii it is only a question of time until the nativeborn Japanese will have political control of the island. The white American population is being gradually and surely pushed off the island by the encroachment of Japanese in agriculture and industry. "To conceive the white race we must first keep out undesirable races, and next build strength within. In the former process we must back up our paper elicts with military preparedness. Nobody wants war, but our barriers must be stronger than our paper ones." AMERICA DEPENDS·UPON NEGRO REPORT·SHOWS NEW YORK, April 15.—The official journal of the Episcopal Church, carried in its last issue a list of the activities of the colored American in an effort to awaken the white American to his importance as a factor in the life of the country. The account, which urged greater cooperation of the church in the welfare of the Negro, gave a summary of the chief activities of the race in this country as follows: Negro labor supplies 177 of all workers in the United States. Negroes operate a million farms, one-fourth of which they own them-selves. 40,000 out of 300,000 coal miners are Negroes. One-third of all iron and steel workers are Negroes. One-half of the employees in the Chicago Stock Yards are Negroes. One-tenth of all railway workers are Negroes. The number of Negroes in manufacturing and industrial pursuits increased 151.13 per cent with a total capitalization of over 100 million dollars. Negroes control 78 banks with a total capitalization of over 100 million dollars. The accumulated wealth of Negroes increased from 20 million dollars in 1886 to 1500 million in 1923. In 1922, 523 Negroes received the B.A. degree and 20 the degree of M.A. from American colleges and universities. The comment of the Michigan-Churchman is as follows: "A race which is taking such a large part of our national development surely deserves the greatest attention from the church."

POISON IVY PREVENTION The city dweller on holidays in the woods, unacquainted with poisonous plants, very often finds his vacation develop into a period of pain instead of pleasure. When one knows he has been in contact with poison ivy or other poisonous plants he may evay the attack by washing exposed part thoroughly with soap and water after an inning and drying it in alcohol. Unless a very thorough job of washing is done, however, he will only spread the infection. Bathing in salt wafer' also is remedial. Boric acid water, one teaspoonful of boric acid in a quart of hot water makes, a good solution too, which may be applied every day. The most common poisonous plant is that it only three leaves glossy and weakly and commonness is a small shrub with broad leaves like an oak. Poison sumac 'which has silver gray berries growing in loose bunches like grapes is also to be avoided. ST. CHARLES PUPILS WIN IN SPELLING CONTEST ST. CHARLES, Mo., April 11.

Robert Roy Cheeks Dies at Wheel. in Cleveland, Ohio, the other day, Attorney Robert Roy Cheeks, was driving, slowly along one of the thoroughfares, when all of a sudden he guided his car to, the side, stopped it, and in a few minutes was a dead man. A friend, a Cleveland dentist, was with him, and hurried to the residence of his friend, but it too late. I happened in Cleveland on business prior to the funeral of Ernest Burke and Roy Smith were among those whom I saw first at the Union station, and they told me of the sad end of Cheeks. It was a distinct shock to me, because we had been intimate friends for a long time, and in the P. W.-Lemon home at the same time, he six years, I slight; then we both married, Cleveland school teachers. This detailed story of a family is given here because, it affords a fine insight of what a family may do, and of the tastes and distribution of a family that holds its origin in the South, and later, by evolution so to speak, settles in the North. There are many others who have become helpful and useful units in the community selected for home. Roy Cheeks was an apable attorney, yet a Glittering Spectacular Wonderful. A young man, 44, and felt his impress community life of Western Reserve. Cincinnati Good Place to Begin Social Understanding Racial Understanding The recent National interracial Conference held in Cincinnati marks the beginning of a new era. As I sat in the sessions, held in the city where Harriet Beecher Stoeher lived and wrote Uncle Tom's Cabin, I had many thoughts. There were many states belonging to me from seventeen groups, belonging to white and black groups, sitting down under one of talking it over. One white man said: "One of the things that I have discovered in this conference is that there is really a very little difference between us. isn't that interesting? The program of certain elements of the White South has been to keep that man, and thousands of others, from making that very discovery. On our side, know, along with Kildare, the colonel's lady and the Widow O'Crain sisters under the skin." But too many of the other folks have not found that out. When they do, all may not be well but it will be much better. Then what I thought how much it means to have representation. How little it means not to have it. Arthur G. Free of West Virginia, Recorder of Deeds, told me that by having one or two men in the West Virginia legislature, not only has the race been 'treated with more respect throughout the state, but consideration has been given in matters that never would have been thought of otherwise. The same is true in all other states where we have representation. Could you find a big political leader, of any party, who has done something over 'on the colored men of Illinois'? Not by a jig full. With two altermen, four members of the House of Representatives, one member of the Senate and a Judge on the bench in elective office, to say nothing of the many scores of appointive offices, colored America is protected. This feature of Representation I noticed particularly in the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal church in Sringfield, Mass, last week that the conference delegates in that great conference, Colored America, was protected, Eugene-Kinckle Jones, of the National Urban League told me that the same thing was true with the great international welfare convened last year in Toronto. There was representation, and there was respect. In our United States Government, Colored America has "taxation without" representation, far more glaring in its affrontocious than the Colonial elites of George III, which brought on the Revolutionary war, and its independence. As have, sat again independently. In the galleries of the United States House of Representatives and the United States Senate and have observed that in all of that aggregation of legislative officers, there is not one absolutely directly concerned by blood ties in the affairs of 12,000,000 men and women of Colored America. It is a Block game that stargers the imagination in the flow of it's being that separates quarters, clines, elites and ponies is a play toy besides the allination game of American national politics and Colored America. Comparisons are Odious* but Look-As I sit there and look, down on some of the Representatives and Senators, and then my mind reflects upon some of the fine types of colored men who would make most worthy additions to the American law making bodies, my heart is made sick by the feeble gesture of democracy extended to us. It is a lie, if they say we cannot represent. They who say it know it is a lie. I have, in the long, long ago, a flattering Congressional record. I have seen them in legislatures; I have seen them in many deliberative bodies of white and colored, and in no instance have I seen them fail to measure, to gain and keep respect, to represent and to serve their cause as well as their people. Colored America will never be respected, in this government adequately until we again have members of Congress. It matters not where they come from, North or South, but come to Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, St. Louis, New Orleans, or a rural district from the South, such a person will represent 12,000,000 and there will not be the things done against us, or omitted for us, that now obtain. We have got to think and act for ourselves the other fellow will not be doing anything we see through our lenses, hardly as well as we can see through his. We've got to have this understand- THE ST.

Current Topics By ERNEST RICE McKINNEY Preston News Service The colored brethren who helped give Mr. Coolidge His big majority in November seem to have let up in their efforts to get in out of the wet, one does not hear much news about who is likely to become Register of the Treasury. Each State and group offered its favorite son. Every body was suggested from lawyers, doctors, business men down to little cheap politicians and little political preachers. I have heard of a certain minister who telegraphed the President asking the appointment of an obscure gentleman of the cloth who was never heard of outside of his own town and demeanation. It is nothing now. We have it everywhere. It is the result of persistent and profound stupidity, on the part of the mass of Negro voters and erase carrying and vitality on the part of the political misdeeds with whom the race is infested. The argument of our politicians is that if you don't vote for the Republicans there is no chance for us to get anything. But, if you do, "vote it straight" some ones or two Negroes out of the twelve million may get a job. Of course, these leaders of our get "expose money" while the cannons out of the twelve million are the prisoners. And, too, they are the people who begin to fight each other for the one or two jobs that the Republicans might be induced to hand off. From the looks of things it has never occurred to Negro voters that there is just as much Jim-crowism under Republicans as under the Democrats. A Republican President does no more than a Democratic President to wipe out banking. The Fourteenth Fifteenth amendments to the Constitution are so filled under Goddess just that they were under Wilson. The Democrats sent marines to Hull and the Republicans kept them there. So, what is the difference? Just this: Negro Republican leader applauds by their connection with the party in greater degree than they would if connected with the Democratic party. I firmly believe that this is their only reason for their continued balkyness to select a Republican President. These political leaders of ours are either idiots of hypocrites or both. Or else they feel that we are idiots or hypocrites or both. The whites of this country are not divided by party lines as far as the Negro is concerned. On the Negro, there is no difference between the Republican and Democratic parties. In fact, there is no difference between the two parties on any fundamental issues. The gentleness mentioned last week in connection with a sermon preached, supporting the astronomical idea of Johann and Rev. Jesper, has replied in a lengthy brief surprising even his published sermon. This college trained preacher says that he is a "Fundamentalist." What is a Fundamentalist? Is it necessary to believe that the sage revolves around the earth to be a Fundamentalist? As a matter of fact, it was the Fundamentalists, of His day, who put the sage to death. The Fundamentalists, presented Gatherer who instituted the Spanish Aquilion; the Salem Witchcraft; and the Fundamentalists in the Protestant Episcopal Church who were the backbone of slavery in the South? A Fundamentalist is nothing more than the same old reactionary grutting forth in a fraudulent role.

Truly of the making of books there is no end. That is particularly applicable to books having to deal in whole or in part with racial life and characteristics; whether grave or gay. White writers are cashing in on this erstwhile tiger field in literary effort, and they range in their attempts for the time being from the pure nonsease gotten off by Octavus Roy Cohen to the serious efforts of men and women on the problems of scholarly attainments of the colored American. "Population Problems" is a book on the problems of population "as they affect the colored American. Its author is Edward Reuter and makes this statement." It is sufficient ground for the general opinion that the race is so inferior by natural endowment as to be forever incapable of reaching the level of white culture, and destined, therefore, always to remain an inferior group in the population." One must read the book to get a thorough understanding of what this student and teacher of sociology has in mind. He is of the opinion that given time and proper contact with the other race, Negroes will have opportunity to "obliterate peculiar habits of mind, and members of the race will reach the higher levels of culture." All of which gounds well, may be, but one's thought is much arrested by this, for Mr. Reuter says that at the present time the race as a whole is poor, ignorant and inefficient, claiming that the actual amount of dependence is great. According to school attendance our students are low and our teachers are often inefficient. Alas: "As a result of poverty and ignorance," he writes, "they live under conditions that make mental and physical efficiency well-nigh impossible." *Martha*, a novel by Percy Marks might be styled, a good book were it not for the part that it plays upon race prejudice. But this time the mixed marriage affair is of a different kind. It has to do with the marriage of full whites with Indians, and the author considers it cruel and insensitive, as is its assertion as being din absorbing tale; at least it plays up an old theme. And the author seems to have done it well. "Sambo Before and After the Civil War" comes to us fresh from Georgeta. "Enough said. The book is on sale at seventy-five cents, and if one would like to see the return of, slavery days, he can read it at one sit-down short story, and the title carries the name of the moving spirit in the story. "Sambo," who holds dear the time gone by with his "good white folks." Mrs. Carrie M. McDonnell (whits) is the author. She is of Macon, Georgia. By Leonard Massenburge For the Associated Negro Press. At Chairo there are about 20 rainy days per annum (mean rainfall 1.4 mm/year). Between Assam and Dongola there are a few rainy days in winetier, and very exceptionally, some torrential rains in the summer. In the Red Sea Province heavy rain occurs at intervals from August to January, intensive, particularly, in the hills, with occasional, rainfalls during spring. The first of the Khor Baraka flood reaches Tokar by the middle of July, and the number of the later floods varies greatly from year to year. The rainy seasons' proper on the upper Blue Nile, Athara and in Abyssina commences within a fortnight (one way or the other) of the second week in June, the rain lasting till the middle of September; light rains in January and February; heavy rains sometimes in October and November. The rainy season in the North-rn Bahr-el-Gazal is from November 30. In Lado light rains occur between April and August, the heavy rains not usually coming, on until October. The rainy season in Khartum and in the Bayuda Desert lasts from the middle of June to September. In Southern Kordofan the rains commence to fall in May and last until October. In Central Kordofan the usual rainy season is from June to September, while Northern Kordofan approximates to the climate of (say) Khartum. In Bartur the rains occur, in addition, in the valley of the Upper White Nile from September to November; also numerous thundersstorms, especially in the hilly regions round Bejak and the Sudd district to the north of it. On the Sozat, rains last from June to the end of September. When Marshall, Chang Tsoolin, former bandit, but now warlord of Manchuria, started his drive on Pekin, it is said, he offered incense, joss paper, wine and fruit to the heavenly emperor, and followed with a prayer telling the delity what a rascal was Tsao Kun, at that time the president in Pekin, and Chang's enemy. Chang made it clear that he had started his maneuvers with the hope of finding Tsao to repent, but instead, this edition continued. Tsao evidently intoxicated by military conquests, has employed his satellites, Wa Pekin Chi Heothyuan and others, to disturb the country and oppress the people. Tsao's military program of the past two years was then rehearsed, its result having been, according to Chang, to litter the country with skeletons. Drought and flood had also been known as a clear sign of the anger of the cataloger of organizing relief measures, the Pekin chieftain was accused of having plotted against the ruler of Manchuria. It thus became necessary for Chang to fight, but he was careful to call the attention of heaven to the fact that, although he was invading the territory of his south, it was really a defensive war. If fate should decree against him, Chang asked that punishment descend on him alone. But if the day of retribution had arrived for Tsao and Wu, then might heaven grant speedy victory, so that the suffering of the masses might be restored to peace and safety as soon as possible. According to the latest report from New York there are 250,000 people of color in that city. For the Associated Negro Press In the Bachelor of Arts degree we have one of the oldest academic distinctions. It has changed somewhat, from its earlier significance. Originally Bachelor of Art was not a degrees of Master of Arts and Doctor of merely a recognition" of a student's ability to proceed with the higher degree. The degree it was known as a minor degree awarded at the close of the first stage in a liberal education. From the viewpoint, of course, of the college graduate going forward to the higher degrees of Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy that is what it is today. The term "Bachelor of Arts" is a survival of the original meaning of the word "bachelor", which was a young man in the prolegationary period of kighthood, the priesthood, of learning, or any other calling.

PAGE FOUR ·THEATRES WILLIAM BENBOW'S COMPANY GOES OVER BIG AT BOOKER William Benbow's "Get Happy" company is a real live entertainer, at the Booker Washington Theatre this week. There is plenty of epp through the show which accounts for it being featured on the Columbia wheel the past season. The curtain rises on a bunch of attractive girls singing and dancing. Benbow and Odell Irving appear as the comedians and "get into trouble with" Shorty "Edwards over meddling with" Other Folks Business." This comedy setto is followed by Margie Cohen and chorus singing "Lots of Papas" with a dance insert by Henry Coleman. Bertha Scott scores a hit singing "Without You." Henry Troy's latest ballad, Walter Battle and chorus go big with "Oh Mable." Benbow and Irving get into trouble with "Shorty" over a pie and a bulldog puts them to flight. Margie Cohen and the girls score another big hit, this time with "Red Hot Mamma." George Alexander does an artistic "Charleston." Battle and Burch Williams team-up some excellent dancing which displays much art and goes over big. A quartette of girls dance to the time of "June Night." Henry Coleman does an eccentric burlesque of popular dances movements and is a scream. A comedy skit has Benbow acting as a watchman over a "corpse" for Miss Cohen. "He is left there with a "duffy" played by Irving, who objects to the limited company and there is much fun in the queer happenings until the "dead arises" and scares them away. Viola Williams, assisted by George Alexander, Henry Coleman and the company, put over "Shine" to a nice, and "The Charleston" is the female which brings a good show to its climax. It is understood that this company will tour the Pantages Time in the near future. VAUDEVILLE NEXT WEEK Four good acts of vaudeville have been booked for next week's show at the Booker Washington Theatre. They include Lillian Westmoreland, the double-voiced wonder; Hudson and Hudson, man and woman in a comedy act; Dravenport and Carr, who have furnished some popular Columbia Record hits; and Doyle and Willie, a novelty comedy and dabbing team. Willie Porter will be remembered as formerly of the team of Willie and Buster Porter. Doyle was formerly a partner of Coca Fisher.

CURTIS GORDON Phone: 012345 5675 4464 Cook Ave. STOCK SALESMAN FOR PEOPLES FINANCE CORP. PAGE SIX Under auspices of the Nath. Ameri canism Commission of the Ameri can Logon, on Flag Day, June 14, 1923, representatives of over 68 organization met in Washington for conference to draft an authentic code of Flag etiquette. The rules adopted by the conference represent the authoritative opinion of the principal patriotic bodies of the United States and of arms and navy experts. In compliance with request, and in order to offset errors and omissions of the past, relative to respect to the flag, the following rules are respectfully submitted for the information—and guidance of all who may be concerned. 1. The flag should be displayed on all national and state holidays, and on historic and special occasions. 2. When carried in possession with another flag or flags, the flag of the U. S. should be either on the right, or when in a line of flags, the U. S. flag should be in front of the center of the line. 3. When a number of flags of states, cities or permanent of societies are grouped and displayed from staff with the U. S. flag, the latter should be at the outer and at the highest point of the group. 4. When the flag is displayed on a small架 head carried in a parade murmuring is indicated by attaching two streamers of crepe to the sparhead, allowing the streamers to fall naturally. Crepe is used on the flag staff only by order of the president. **Cautions** Do not permit disrespect to be shown to the flag of the U. S. Do not dip the flag to any person or any thing. The regimental color, state flag organization or institutional flag will render this healer. Do not display the flag with the union down, except as a signal of distress. Do not place any object or emblem of any kind above the U. S. flag. Do not use the flag in any form of advertising, nor fasten an advertising sign to a pole from which the flag is flown. The flag of the United States is the living symbol of our Great Republic. GET BONUS BLANKS Through the kindness of Honorable L. C. Dyer, the St. Louis Argus will distribute blanks to all former service men of the World War, who desire to make claims for bonus under the rules of Congress. These blanks are free and can be had just for the asking. Notary service can also be bad. NEGRO HISTORY ASS'N. HOLDS SUCCESSFUL CONF DURHAM, N.

The opening session of the meeting was held in the new seven story building of the North Carolina Mutual Life, Mr. C. C.

The afternoon session at 2:30 o'clock was held at the Durham State Normal School, with D. J. B. Dudley presiding. Here two more fine addresses were heard, Prof. R. H. Taylor, on "Plantation Economy" and Prof. William T. LaPrade, on "The Negro in the District of Columbia Before the War."

CHURCH RICHMOND, Va., April 15—A greater tribute of esteem and honor could hardly have been paid Robert Damell, an ex-servant, who was buried here last week with the most impressive rites from the St. Paul's Episcopal Church of which he had been sexton for 18 years. The membership of the church, representing the cream of Virginia's white aristocracy, sat in the balcony of the edifice, while the colored friends of the deceased occupied the main floor of the auditorium; colored singers in the choir room; and white and colored men sat on the rostrum. Crowds watched the funeral procession and saw colored and white-pall bearers the body of the faithful Negro to its last resting place. Damell, was at one time an officer in the Teach Cavalry. He also served in the Ninth.

MAN DIES IN AUTOMOBILE George Mankin, 35 years old, 1500 Pickett avenue, last Friday night came over to St. Louis with his friend, Edward King, 1824 Colas avenue, to drive back an automobile King bought. They were arrested by a motorcycle policeman for failure to have 1925 license plates on the machine, but later released when King, the owner of the machine explained he intended to buy a license when he arrived in East St. Louis. On their way home, crossing the Jefferson Ave., viaduct, King told the police that Mankin suddenly turned to him and said: "I am getting sick. You better take the wheel." The machine swerved to the curb and stopped. Then King discovered that his friend was dead. Death was caused by heart disease. EX-CONVICT GIVEN PRISON TERM FOR STAGING HOLDUP A jury in Circuit Judge Itiner's court, convicted Sam Hall. 27 years of age, of highway robbery and fixed his punishment at 10, years in the state penitentiary. Hall was identified as one of two robbers who took $300 'from' Ben Bielweil in his grocery store at 2304 Eugenia street last November. Having served a previous penitentiary term, he was charged as an habitual criminal and life sentence was recommended by the court, but this injunction was disregarded by the court.

Woman Robs Man Of $100 In Questionable House The arrest of Lucille Houston, 27, and five other inmates of her house at 105a Twenty-second street, last Saturday night, was the beginning of an active campaign by police to rid the city of notorious characters, according to Detectives Isaiah Woods, Cutter, members of the Homicide Squad, who made the arrest. They were arrested when Willie Easy, 30 years old, of 4443 Enright avenue, complained to the police that he had been robbed of a $100 bill while at the Twenty-second St. address, by Bertha Brown. At pooled quarters she confessed she robbed Enright that she gave the money to the Houston woman, the "housekeeper." Tuesday morning, the prisoners Lucille Houston, Bertha Brown, Gertrude McDuffy, Hattie Robinson, Stella Adams and Ernest Ransom, were arraigned before Police Judge Homer, who heavily fined each of them. During the progress of the trial from officials in Caruthersville, Ms. Homer said that Bertha Brown was sentenced on a charge of robbing a man of $145. A sheriff came to her Wednesday and she was taken to Caruthersville to face the charge. A few weeks ago Lucille Houston was acquitted in a murder charge. Her house is conducted in the section of the city known as "Little Lincoln." School is also in that neighborhood. Other questionable houses in that area are going to be closed and known police characters forced out of the city, police explained to reporters. It is understood that Lucille Houston has left here for Chicago.

April 15—The Sixteenth Annual Spring Conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which convenes here June 21, promises to be one of the greatest national meetings ever held by the Negro, in this country. There will be many unusual features never to be held before by a colored conference. Among the many outstanding fetes arranged for the affair is a gigantic parade made up of many floats portraying the progress of the Race. Another is an outing which will include a tour to the world famed Garden of the Gods, where a grand barbecue will be held. A pagan in Denver's City Auditorium is to be given on June 23, the night of the Conference opens and the Denver Branch of the A. C. P. is inviting as many delegates and visitors to the Conference as possible to be on hand. In connection with the N. A. A. C. P. gathering, the local American Legion has not only contributed toward the entertainment expenses, but its Commander, Lieut. Earl W. Mann, has written a letter to every member urging their fullest participation in the event. The most complete arrangements are being made to communicate the activities of the Conference to the outside world, through radio broadcasting and publication in the two local colored dalles, the Colorado Stateman and the Denver Star.

Colorful News "Movies" By The Cameraman Asleep at the Switch Through the courtesy of a press contouring our attention has been again drawn to decision of the United States Supreme Court in which it was held that a Delaware Court erred in refusing to quash an indictment against William Neal, a Negro, who made legal objection to the State Constitution which restricted service on trial jurors to whiten only. Though the time of this decision was as far back as 1880 immediately following a similar finding in the case of Strauder against West Virginia and Rives against Virginia, it is obvious that the decision holds good to day and that Delaware Negroes have slept on their rights in submitting to non-jury service rather than invoking the U.S. Supreme Court and using jury proceedings in posal to see that state laws and customs are kept in harmony with, and not in contravention to, the law as announced from the bench of our highest tribunal. That Negroes are entitled to sit upon Delaware juries goes without saying; and it is equally true that the Negro candidate for a place in the Delaware legislature last fall was sidetracked by technical instrumentalities of evasion, needs no proof. In the same way there are dozens of remedies for other grievances inflicted by oppressors of the minority in the Cack of diligence and initiative are poor tools with which to break down prejudice. Howling over mistreatment, when the key to unlock the door of oppression is lying close by within arms reach is poor business. Financial contributions and platform oratory mean little when there are effective remedies of combat. When are going to mould and decay other non-use, amusements and other offenses, worth through to a finish, are worth ten nights on an additions stage. Did Neal and Strauder and Rives, and the dozens of other Negroes who fought their fights through to the U. S. Supreme Court in the late seventies and early eighties have more temerity and manhood than we of today? If so, then it is time for us to embrace a free country, and once again enter serfdom, protecting neither against its trials nor bemoaning our fate. "Equity awards the vigilant." Manace of Mexican Labor— "Authoritative reports indicate that certain unscrupulous American employers are stealthily engaged in the business of 'booteeging' Mexican labor across the Mexican border into the United States, where it is used to compete with American white and black, accepting a low wage and a black, unwillingly to an unfavorable, wherever they colonize in appreciable numbers. It is revealed at Washington that request after request has been made of Congress for legislation which would put Mexico under the same quota regulations, as are the European nations and other foreign countries. Also, it is that it is virtually impossible to obtain Mexican border, and that, consequently, thousands of the swarthy folks from below the Rio Grande are in the United States, without legal right, where they are the victims of employers who have, but little regard for their countrymen's dinner pails. It is a fact that Negroes have been frequently displaced by Mexicans, and that they have been used as bumpers in other unethical practice companies. That the practice is menacing the need of home labor conditions needs no proof. Since the "Made in Germany" inscriptions have become so decidedly unpopular in America, it would be well, too, if "Made by Mexican labor" were eradicated from the annuals of American industry, and then be given preference. Certainly, the men have priority over Mexican "booster" labor, and, in fact, over any type of unnaturalized foreign labor. Self-protection is one of the fundamentalals of American industry, which should adhere solidly, to American labor, white and black Employers who are not sufficiently Americanized to pay patriotic tribute to the abilities of American workmen, regardless of race, should be made to market their goods in the country whose labor exponents they exploit to the terror of American labor. The Political Horizon Silhouetted against the political horizon can be seen the time-old question mark of one-man leadership for the brethren. That it is merely a vision goes without saying. Yet, "kindergarten" students of the political game are fearfully prophesying that again, as in the days of the late Booker T. Washington, one man may become the human microphone for the political program of the race, naming appointees and otherwise deciding Who's Who and Who's patronage, legislation and organization these youthful philosophers say that the political factions within the race are as hopelessly divided as over; voteless and voting leaderships are at the crossroads, and that the powers that be dissatisfied with the alleged differences existing between various groups, which are laying claim, either ostensibly or otherwise to associate dictatorship in events which involve the Negro. Nothing could be more far-fetched or untrue. Chairman Butler of the Republican National Committee, carried forward last year's campaign with a very definite organization sorted and systematized by competents of his own choice. The results of the organization were outstanding. Out of chaos, there came order and efficiency. A very definitely-formed group of race men and their bit in bringing about the triumphant election of My Coolidge, and the same triumphant information group is now apparently functioning frictionlessly, faultlessly and faithfully, through the most perfect internal machine that has ever yet been assembled. Surely there is not thought of scraping such a machine, even though a "dog-in-the-manger" attitude might pervade the minds of a disgruntled few, who, in a spirit of revenge might attempt to promote again one-man dictatorship. That may however, is politically Mediative. It is true, but it is effective voting organizations, and the potential strength of coalition among competent, highly satisfactory to the entire rank and file of the ace; for a tree shall b known by the fruit it bears. Dr. George E. Cannon— Dr. George E. Cannon, prominent Jersey City physician and one of the recognized national leaders of the Race, has passed into the Great Beyond. Dr. Cannon lived a very useful life, and with deepest respect for his fellow citizens of New Jersey, it will be difficult to find a man to take his place in that State. The deceased physician was an astute and an honorable politician. Tho' of the old school of politics, he imbued enough of the new to temper his policies of leadership with aggressiveness, at the same time retaining, poise, dignity and method which commanded the respect of all a spade a spade, having the courage of his convictions and a 'a toughness finesse which made a deep impression upon those with whom he had political contact./He placed. Race above party and worked sealsously for its advancement. With slight disintegration besetting the ranks of the colored voters of New Jersey and the need for progressive organization throughout the State, Dr. Cannon will be sadly missed during the coming months. One one he has proved him self worthy to essay to write the mantle so hastily laid aside by Dr. Cannon, who until death summoned him, gave his very best years to service, commanding respect even from his foes and love from his friends.

UP Pairnize These Who Pairnize You At the Fourth Annual Meeting of the New York Conference of the M. E. Church, Rev. J. W. Robinson Pastor of St. Mark's Church, New York, it is said have voted against unification between the M. E. Church, North, and the M. E. Church, South in the connection, Rev. Dr. Wallace, Madin Ministre, retiring Superintendent of the New York District; stated: "There is an organized opposition in the South to the unification. I fear if we should wait for the Church South to change its attitude toward the Negro, we would have to wait many years; but there is no likelihood that we in the Northern jurisdiction shall, turn our backs on the colored minister or his people. I appeal to the black men to keep this in mind." Hon. Arthur G. Fro, Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia, has returned from Norfolk, Va., where he delivered a stirring address at the Annual Conference of the Association of Mall Carriers. On Tuesday afternoon, Roland Hayes, famous, Tenor, accompanied by the Spingarn Medal Award Committee, received the Spingarn Medal from the hands of Walter Bamroch, Conductor of the New York Symphony Orchestra. Was Emile T. Holley discouraged because of his failure to gain attention to the U. S. Naval Academy, at Annapolis three years ago? We'll say he wannied. He has just been acclaimed the most brilliant student at Middleburg College, from which he will soon graduate; with commensurate honors. Ohio's Anti-Marriage Bill Assemblyman Roberts, of the Ohio Legislature, has introduced into the regular Session, 1925, a new-Angola-Saxahoce known, *as house Bill No 218*, a measure aimed to prevent the "amalgamation of the white race with any other race." Among other things, Mr. Robert's bill provides a five hundred to one thousand dollar fine or a three to nine months imprisonment, or both, for "any person of pure white blood" who murders a person of arraces, or one having a distinct and distinctive mixture of the blood of another person and the person as to any persons of another person, or marry persons of pure white blood. The fines and imprisonments are provided in the bill for those who dare to solemnize such forbidden marital alliances. The big fish in the sea of Assun- man Robert's mind, however, Is, of course, the prevention, by legal means of racial admixtures between the whites and the blacks—a situation eagerly sought by hundreds of white men in the day time, and un- fortunately for both races. For that matter, forgotten by thousands of white men in the night time. The on march title of mutattoes has dedi the miscegenation laws of Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Arkansas, and virtually all states which have them on the books in the day and on the shelves in the night. The evasion of marital law and order is of course, of no credit to either whites or blacks, and it a sad, sad reminder of that 'truth' when figures show that in Arkansas, whose statutes are, heavily indian with 'migration barriers between the races, natlattocs increased in forty years more than 520 per cent. The spirit of the advocacy of racial purity is to be highly commended, but when legal barriers stop the inwful confirmation of legitimate unions, pray, what is to be of the motes, and the beams which daily exist upon the eyeballs of inter-racial relationships? The amalgamation marches onward, day by day, and the sons of Hain and Shem and Japheth, too, are as vilecolored as was Joseph's coat. Of far greater interest to Assembly man Roberts, democrat of Belmont County, Ohio it seems to us, would be the greater protection of the 2020 Negro citizens in his county, residing principally in Barton, Bridgeport, Martins Ferry and Belleair, who complain that Mexican and other foreign investors are usurping their pages in Ohio in his fires. This, they say, is more important to them just now than the matter of blood filtering: Amen! Interstate Commerce Calamities—Upon the ground that the South is not adequately represented in the personnel of the Interstate Commerce Commission, federal tribunal created by Congress to see that discrimination on the part of the common carriers is done away with, when passengers' property is transported interstate and southern senators will refuse to commute. Thomas F. Woodlock, who has been given on a recess appointment to the Commission by President Coolee The watchfulness of the South over the personnel and activities of the Inter-State Commerce Commission has always been marked. And to colored people who, when traveling interstate southward through Jim crow states are given interior conches and accommodation, and are otherwise harmfully disseminated against in the matter of meals, sleeping berths, and day conch facilities, the keen interest of the Southland in the Inter-State Commerce Commission has out one interpretation. Southern rail and water carriers too, know full well the scope of duties and power of the Commission. They know that antiquated coaches for colored passengers and up-to-data coaches for whites constitute the greatest type of discrimination, properly cognizable by the Commission. They know, when Pulliam beraths are withheld from colored passengers that discrimination causes. They remember the legal precedents, dormant but not by any means dead, established in the cases of Edwards and Gaines under which the obligations of common carriers are clearly set forth by the Court. And they know that the Interstate Commerce Commission has power to fine a railroad $100 a day for practicing discrimination. Last, but not least, they know that some day some able lawyer, white or black, will sue out a mandamus and invoke a performance of duties imposed by law. And, of course, the more of the South there is reposing upon the bench of the Interstate Commerce Commission the greater solace will be felt by railroads of Dixieland, when the day of reckoning comes—for come hast—and drowning men always grasp. Religion of New Religion. Non-基督教 "The Methodists have come and gone and by a vote of 137 the breach between the M. E. Church North and the M. E. Church South was caused into - Methodist - Christianity more than eighty years ago. Because of slavery which the church condoned, still yawns against definition to the Sabbath chants of the bishops, when they admonish their followers to love their neighbors as themselves, When Sir Walter Scott wrote: "Who spills the foremost forman's blood, that party chaucers in the fend," he must have visualized the now-present slaves' denominations of Methodism, fur from the minds of the Westers in their revisions of Protestantism. These paragraphs, though, bear not one whit of malice against the Methodists, who are religiously good, as the best of other denominations. The great question, however, as we see it, for solution by all the churches is whether or not they intend to observe the commandment; "Thou shalt have no other God before me." Malice is a god. Facial division is a god. Prejudice is a god. The deception of preaching unity in the pulpit and division in conference is a god which the Methodists have just openly declined. At that, they were soundest enough to announce their religion of division in open court, and not keep it a secret of state as their white denominational contemporaries have done. Just as Napoleon Bonaparte once said: "God, God, how rare men are," how rare is religion without a strong alley. Forests primeval with their murmuring hemlocks and the streaming sunlight of the God-given they seem more and more to make a background of honest-tenderness religion far more perfect than beautiful stone mursery and tricolored church windows. And if the church of today is to form the foundation of the church of the bereaver, then 141-to-147 votes for non-allegiance of the Christians must be made impossible, in only among the Methodists but among the other Christian denominations of the world. A Lost World— Fountain pens have been particularly busy during the past half-year describing jazz music and the origin of syacupation. Musical historians have vividly described the peculiar rhythm which they claim was raised to its height by Negro musical performers and their imitators, from the days when May Irwin sang "I'm a Little Alabama Coon," and Will Malton Cook wrote "Emancipation Day" to the present day when Vincent Lopez, Davis and Paul Whiteman (man) together with Ford Dabney, "Cricket" Smith, Alle Rose, Will Vodery and eminent Negro performers displease jazz and classics with equality jazz and charm. Due respects have been paid to W C. Handy, Walter Craig, Shelton Brooks, James Reese, Europe, Hallle Anderson, Will Riker, Bob Douge, Pastor Penlaver and others, who have had and are having their innings in the musical world. The writer was once a fiddler in Harlem when suber's Harlem River Park at 126th street and *Lexington Avenue* was almost as famous as Madison Square Garden; and we venture to call attention to one and fact in the advent of jazz and the participation of Negro performers in its rendition. From 1914 to 1918, Negro musicians enjoyed a "corner" on the jazz market, which is to them now, in a massive sense, a lost world. White musicians walked the streets from Chengelo to Washington, and from New York to St. Louis, while Negro jazz artists reaped the tremendous returns from their emotional stirring, "eg orchestras were sent to Florida, "eg jazz bands were made up in New York for exportation to London and Paris. Negro musicians who had been studying and not playing stopped studying and went to playing; and white musicians who had been playing and not studying were forced to stop playing and go to studying. And since 1918, the "corner" has been slipping from the grasp of Negro jazzers. A few eminent race artists in the jazz world are still enjoying the prestige and financial returns of their abilities. But to use the vernacular of a few thoughtful musicians, "The Jew boys and the American whites have fiddled the Negro off Broadway." They studied jazz and technology when they began to emerge from their long-vacation, alas they could out jazz the jazzers. In Washington, Philadelphia, in New York, and elsewhere, the brother-musician is largely dwarfed by the lost world of jazz. Only those who kept preparedness in the foreground of their musical careers have retained their seats on the musical "corner," which at one time seemed destined to remain in the grasp of rash performers for years to come. Stars Will Play Shell's Sunday The 15: Louis Starz will make their second appearance of the season at home next Sunday, when they meet the Shell club, last year's champions of the independent League. Dick Kerr, world series hero of the 1998 Chicago White Sox, will be on the mound for the visitors. Manager Thylor may choose to give three or four of his pitchers a chance to hurt the pit. The game will be called at 3:11, m. and Saints' Park, Compton and Market, should have another good crowd of flags. STARS SHOW UP. GOOD IN FIRST ENCOUNTER A big crowd of fans was out to greet the Stars at their opening game last Sunday. The boys were quite hospitable to their opponents, the Bellville Clerks. It being Easter, the visitors were presented with nine goose eggs. Manager Taylor showed six pitchers, and all were in prime shape. Only "Dimples" Miller had trouble, and this was because he was trying out a new and better style of delivering the ball. Brown, a new, twirter, opened the game. He went two innings, allowed one hit and struck out three. Broyle, a left hander, took care of the third and fourth frames. He allowed one hit, and struck out four. Darris gave no hits in the fifth; Miller, one in the seventh; Hensley, none in the eighth. Each of the latter two had two strike outs. Ross worked in the thirth and three men flow out in succession. Four hits altogether were allowed the visitors. Three St. Louis catchers were treated out. Smith, a home boy, started and made a promising showing in four innings. Scott, a heavy six-footer, showed for three innings and Murray closed the show. Bobo at first. Watts at second. Wells at short and Crecy at third, were a quartette of young infielders who delighted the fains. Watts is fielding better. Wells is throwing properly and the infield is much stronger than last season. Russell was in right field, Bell in center, Redus and Blackwell in left. They had little to do in the garden. It was noticed that, Bell, although fast as a race horse, has learned to round first base without losing ground. This will mean a numpy a one bagger stretched into a two this summer. The boys made fourteen hits for twelve runs, and had not an error. A fast double play was turned in the fourth by Bobo to Wells to Bobo. Donaldson unplugged the bat with his usual accuracy. "Chief" Cooper was on the bases and had a perfect day, which is saying much for a recruit. **Score by Innings** Delleyville ..... 000.000.000 - 0 - 4 St. Louis ..... 263.033.000 - 12 - 4 debevite battery—Ganderson, Jakes and Peters. SPORT FLASHES BY MOSE L. HERRING The St. Louis Stars opened, Easter Sunday of Stars Park with a crowd of about 3,000 fans in attendance. The Bellville Clerks, the victims of the Easter Sunday's game, were presented with nine eggs, an egg an bait. There were lots of new faces seen on the Stars' team Sunday. Some of the new comers made good showings. The Stars used six pitchers and three catchers against the Clerks. But the Beltivillians could not scary, so effective were the batteries. Scott, a big busky catcher, looked good, if weight means anything to a backstop. Wells was there Sunday and cutting his same old carpets, running behind second and third scooping them up, and throwing them out at first. There was a Lightning Double play Sunday from Bobe to Wells to Bobo. This play was as fast as any that has been seen at the local park. There were some good plays made by the Bellyvillians as well as by the Stars. One was Seller's catch of Wells' long fly in deep center field. The St. Louis Browns opened the season Tuesday with Cleveland and had a real lot game. The score was 21 to 14. George Slsier the star and manager of the team, made two errors in one play. The Stars will play the Shell Club Independent League champions, Sunday. This should be a good game. Dick Kerr, hero of the 1919 world series between Chicago White Sox and Cincinnati Reds, will pitch. SPRING SHOWERS By Thes. Atkins From spring-time showers and the gust.

MEXICO, Mo., April 15—The Milwaukee Giants lost their opening game to Columbia, Missouri, Easter Sunday in a fast contest, 7 to 5. The fielding of the Josers featured. The infield worked like a machine. Shelton playing 1st, Ford 2nd, Steel 3rd Parker pitching and Dumlap catching The outfield consisting of Johnson, Brown and Moore, looked like big leaguers. Several recruits were tried out in the game. Wild pitches resulted in the two winning runs scored, by Columbia. The Giants play Armstrong Saturday, and at Jacksonville, Sunday. GADSEN, Ala., April 15—The Black Barons won their 4th game of the season from the Talladega College team here, Thursday, 14 to 1. The Barons all well and held in fine style. Beverly and Robinson, southpaws, paled for the Barons, while Watts and Ronnie were on the mound, for the college team. The feature of the gong was the pinch hitting of Williams, catcher for the Barons, who batted for Henderson in the 8th inning, making a three bagger with the buster loaded. Green, first baseman from West Virginia, played a good game at the keystone position. Mgr. Patterson is giving his men The St. Louis Argus Silver Loving Cup, which was to have been presented to the winning team in the Public School Baseball league last year, will be given this year if the same handicap does not prevent.

MEMPHIS RED SOX WIN TWO FROM NEW ORLEANS MEMPHIS, Tenn., April 15—Loose playing by the New Orleans' infield gave the Red Sox an eleven to one victory in the first game of a three-game series here Friday. Platt for New Orleans and Spearman for Memphis both pitched steady ball. Spearman held the Ads to three scattered hits, and but for two errors by Miller would have scored a shutout. Wade peeped up the crowd with a running catch of a drive from Lowe's but in the first inning. Finding their bearings over night, the Ads played a bang up fielding game behind the stellar pitching of Kissnat, the Red Sox吞掉 out the Ads by a three to two score in Saturday's game. Morete, pitching for Memphis, held the Ads to three hits, all winning in the second inning when the score two runs, and struck two beetens. The batting of Glass and Jackson and the base running of the latter featured. The Hot Springs Giants will play the Red Sox next Saturday, Sunday and Monday. The scores for the games were: 1st Memphis 11, New Orleans 1, 2nd Memphis 3, New Orleans 2. Economy resolutions work beautifully for about three days. INDEPENDENT LEAGUE CHAMPIONS With DICK KERR, World's Series Hero of 1919 Chicago's White Sox, Pitching. George Godrey, the "Black Shadow of Leiperville," showed that he was one of the most dangerous heavyweight fighters in the ring Wednesday, when he knocked out "Midgert" Sam Baker, Los Angeles Negro heavyweight conqueror of Sailor Dungey, who is accredited with victories over Kid Norfolk and Tut Jackson. Baker went down for the count in the fourth round of a battle scheduled to go ten rounds. --- tice series last. Sunday. Rube is out to have the world series played in the Windy City. He has a host of recruits, who are showing up well. Dicta Johnson and Sam Crawford have signed as coaches. Birmingham, under Manager Paterson, a newcomer in the league, has shown remarkable strength in winning four games straight in its spring training series. St. Louis, greatly strengthened by playing in the winter league and the addition of several new pitchers and backstops, promises to be a thorn in the sides of all teams. Manager Taylor has a fast, accurate fielding hard-hitting young aggregation with a powerful punch. Memphis has bolstered up its team with the addition of Lowe, formerly of Detroit, at third, and Whitely, a new southpaw, who looks very good. Manager Dismukes has many possibilities in his young gaters. Everyone is in the dark as to the power of the Cubans and Indianapolis, but word has been received that Molina of the Cubans is bringing a muchly strengthened team over from the Islands that year, and that Mr. Jewel has assembled a strong aggregation of youngsters around some of his veterans. PAGE SEVEN The fight was held in Los Angeles. Chick Suggs, "uncrowned bantamweight champion," who won his last forty-seven contests, kept his record intact, when he faced the pride of Rockaway Beach, Jackie Marlowe, a dangerous fighter, at the Commonwealth club, in New York last Saturday and made it his 45th. Bob Lawson, Atlanta heavyweight fighter, who attracted the attention of the fistic wind recently by knocking out Kid Norfolk in one round, was defeated by George Cook, heavy weight champion of Australia, in Boston last Saturday. Reginald Sikl, the Senegalese heavyweight wrestler, who left Chicago in a week for Cuba and South America where he will meet the best mat men available, is one of the greatest Negro wrestlers in the game. He has challenged several star white wrestlers in this country, but has never been able to meet any, thus far. This year's "Colored National Open Championships and Interscholastic Track and Field Meet" to be held at Howard University, May 2, will be enhanced by the appearance of DeHart Hubbard, in special broad jump and hurdle events, while Ned Gourdin will participate in an all-around performance. In the Ellis' game held at Boston last week, Randy Taylor, the Negro sprinter from Tufts College, predicted to be a coming champion, captured a sledling 40 yard dash in 4 4-5 only to pull a tender in the semifinals that prevented him from participating in the finals.

"I am convinced myself that there is no more evil in this present world than see prejudice; none at all." "I write, deliberately—it is the word single (thing in life now.

THE KLAN A POLITICAL MENACE There is much said now-a-days about injecting race and religious prejudice into the political issues when it comes to electing men and women to office. Observation shows that the stronger the Ku Klux Klan becomes in the city and state, the more keen these issues become at election times. The Klan has arrogated unto itself the title "one-hundred per cent Americans." Its members, and those eligible to become members of that hooded band, are the only citizens of America, according to its law, who are fit to hold public office or enjoy the common rights of citizenship in this country. One of the principal purposes of the Klan is to keep out of public office the Catholics, Negroes, and Jews. The Greeks are thrown in for good measure. To carry out this nasturtious purpose, the Klan seeks the aid of all whites of protestant faith. They play on their religious prejudices by saying that every time a Catholic wins an office, this country is that much nearer in the hands of Rome. In this they have actually enlisted the aid of a large number of protestant Negroes. On the other hand, if a Negro seeks office, the Klan will play on the prejudice of the Catholics with the augaboo "Negro domination." Thus, they win the support of the Catholics against the Negro. When it comes to the Jew, the Klan will play up the "dirty Jews, the Christ killers are not fit for office." Thus, they, in a whispering campaign, enlist Catholics and Negroes against the Jew. This is all done in a sinister way. Always seeking to keep the forces they oppose divided, that in the end, the Klan may be victorious. As the Klan gets stronger, naturally, the more bold it becomes in its actions; but the leaders have sense enough to abide their time, watch, and get in its work wherever the opportunity appears. This is a dangerous condition. It is wrong, fundamentally wrong, according to the laws of the land. It should be fought and vigorously fought. Let the Catholics, Negroes and Jews join their forces together with the other good people of the city and stamp out this growing menace. If the Klan is bold enough to challenge our right as citizens, then we should have courage enough to unite and oppose its candidates for office. Because of the underhand workings of the Klan, there has been created in the minds of the general public a suspicion that if a person is known to be eligible to Klan membership, he is a Klansman. Denial of membership does not clear the suspicion, as secrecy is a premium with klansmen. So, as we see it, the only proper logical thing for all the people, except klansmen, is to start to-day to eliminate the Klan from the land and the possibility of wrongfully accusing those eligible to the hooded band, shall have been removed. In justice, therefore to all, let the clown be "Drown the Klan." In justice, therefore, to all, let the slogan be "Down the Klan—all men up." LINCOLN UNIVERSITY APPROPRIATION The Missouri legislature, which has just adjourned, appropriated $399,700 for the support of Lincoln University for the bi-annual period. This is $225,700 more than was appropriated for this institution two years ago. The Board of Curators had asked for $517,000. We feel that, at least, $500,000 should have been given, this being the only institution maintained by the state for the education of Negro youth in the higher branches of the arts and sciences. We realize that owing to the shortage of finance in the state's treasury, budgets were cut right and left by the, appropriation committees of both branches of the legislature; but, in this case, we were asking the state to give us a start which has been denied the Negro youth of the state for lo, these many years. It will be remembered that Lincoln is yet to be made an accredited college. Buildings, equipment and professors must be secured before we can get a start. pration by the legislature, and support by the Board of Curators. The success of the university is what, we want to see. The colored people of this state want to see their university an accredited college which the boys and girls will have a pride in attending. Let us hope, therefore, that no hindrances will be put in the way of its success. There is no respect of persons with God, for he, out of one blood, created all men who dwell upon this earth. When we think of such men as the Rev. Thomas Dixon, author of the "Birth of A Nation," and the hordes of protestant ministers who are members of the Ku Klux Klan, we can't but think that surely the devil has many strong agents in the church posing as preachers of the gospel of Jesus Christ. We do not say that Moore did it all, but we do know he worked hard and was an important factor in getting more than twice as large an appropriation for Lincoln University as was allowed that institution two years ago. Things of this kind don't happen as a matter of course, they are brought to pass. A dead fish drifts with the tide down stream, but, it takes a live one to go up stream—Are you drifting, or, are you a live one? A colored man being tried, charged with a minor offense a few days ago, all of a sudden asked his attorney if he could plead guilty. Upon inquiry as to the sudden change of mind, the defendant said, "Well, you see I can't get it out of my mind that most of those jurors ain't Klahs. I would rather take chances before one Klahs than a frozen Klahs." Surely there is a reason for the lovers of justice and fair play to join hands to eliminate the Ku Klux Klan from the nation. Don't let the Citizens' Council die, brethren, there is always somebody standing by to say, "I told you so." THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, APRIL 17, 1925 Next week this column will carry an account of one of the most progressive steps that has ever been taken to put St. Louis among the top proponents of the arts in the realm of artistic entertainment. Lost Art The need of community or little theatres among the 'Negroes, of America was manifested in New York last week, when what is considered the only modern drama which deals adequately and unbassily with the Negro went begging among six hundred white brethren only to be turned down, even though the latters' convictions evidently were, that it was really a great play. it was the products of a son of the Negro own blood who had achieved a position to honor and your oward by purchasing his works and giving them wide-spread production, and whom the whites were slow to urge forward, because of a heritage that causes dread for all efforts that point towards equality. The young man in question was none other than Garland 'Anderson, author of, "Judge Not According to Appearances," a play that with all likelihood, it produced, is "destined to bring a new era for the Negro writer" in America. The gifted writer, who was born of was discharged by the broad minded, big-hearted Al Jolson, on the bell hops' bench of a San Francisco hotel. The famous actor saw value and worth in the colored boy's manuscript, and decided to give him the chance that fate had denied him. He sent the youth to New York with his play, where the name of an artist can be placed on the heights, or dropped to the depths, in a night, Anderson played by Garland An Anderson came to read the book, bummed of New York's own secrets and severe critics at the Waldorf-Astoria. Time and time again during the reading of Anderson's play, ap please was given that interrupted the reader, Richard B. Harrison, a Canadian elocutionist, and tears were brought to the eyes of many a listener. Even then, given after signs of favorable impressions, even after the acknowledgment of a drama, clean, pure and simple with a power to work a great reform, the that 600 leaders of civilization that 600 leaders of civilization the hundred and forty dollars towards the hundred and forty dollars towards the hundred of the Negro's work. One hundred and forty dollars was not much to pay for the easing of six hundred people's consciences, and the shielding of the unglamour of the producers among them who rejected the play, but humanity must pay the cost, not in dollars and cents, but ignorance, hate and strife.

"As 'far as I can tell,' he said, no drawing is done to the abstract at Hampton. Everything is done with a view to its being applied to everyday life in the school community. Colored people have a delicate contribution to make, especially through their native rhythm, to bring in a renaissance of art, which is surely coming in America. The art of the colored people has rare charm and simplicity. It is a valuable contribution to American civilization." NEGRO WORKMAN BURIED WHEN BUILDING FALLS PHILADELPHIA. Pa., April 15- colored laborer, Howard Burod; was probably fatally injured when a building in which he was working, collapsed burrying him under debris. he was working in the cellar of the structure with five other colored workmen, when the floor caved in.

E. church, located at Town- third and Washington avenue, were completely destroyed by fire last week. Firemen, handicapped by a lack of water, were forced to fight to save adjoining buildings. The fire was discovered by the church, junior in the choir loft. It made such rapid progress that the whole roof was ablaze when the firemen arrived. The building was completely gutted and the walls threatened to collapse at any minute. The loss, which was estimated at $55,000 was partly covered by $11,500 insurance. Rep. A. Wayman, Ward, the pastor of the church, pledged the first $160 for the rebuilding of the edifice. The church, a brick structure, one-half of a block long, was created in 1879 by Father J. M.

"Clean and time cess pools, make outhouses, fireproof and clean stables, stable yards, pig pens, chicken coops, sour garbage cans and see that the lids it tightly. "Clean away dead growths and under brush, clean lawns and gardens, repair fences, whitewash, etc. "Clean the streets and sidewalks, clear the gutters, open clitches, flush sowers and drain pools of stagnant waters. "This program is merely suggestive and can be varied to suit local convenience, but this or any other program cannot be carried on without organization.

IGOE CARRIED 5 NEGRO WARDS Phillips And Vaughn Issue Statement And Thank The Voters "The Mayoralty election which was held on April 7 including the primary preceding it, was with a parallel in the political history of the City of St. Louis. Both the primary and the election proper included many strange things—things which St. Louis had little dreamed of as being among the possibilities. Perhaps the most outstanding of these phenomena was the attitude of the Nervous System, which he played in both the primary and general elections challenged the interest as well as the respect of the entire community. Seven Thousand Vote for Igee "In the race for governor last August, Mr. Victor J. Miller carried every Negro ward in the City of St. Louis. Seven months thereafter, under the leadership of Negroes, exercised for the first time, the same wards were for Louis P. Aloe. And a few weeks thereafter, five of these 9 wards were carried for William L. Igee, democratic nominee for Mayor, and the huge republican wards in the City of 18th and 23rd wards were reduced from three-fifths to seven-eighths. At the same time these wards gave rest of the republican ticket their usual large majorities. These happenings in wards largely inhabited by Negroes marked the beginning of a non-spoil in politics in St. Louis and showed that the Negro voter is rapidly learning to become an intelligent and discriminating citizen, who thinks before casting his ballot. "In these acts he has done two things. He has made friends for himself, and has gained the respect of the community. "The undersigned, by force of circumstances, have had some small part in leading this movement, and it is gratifying to us to have had this happy response on the part of the Negro people to our appeals for that which we believed was for the best interest of the race and the city. "The statements which we made were true. We were never repudiated. Indeed they were not even answered. No attempt to do so was made because there was no answer. We fought, because a principle was involved and in no other way could the Negro people retain their selfrespect. "We take this opportunity to thank the citizens of St. Louis who worked with us and voted with us on these propositions. In our stand we believe we were mindful, both of the best interest of the city and of the group to which we belong. That we consider to be our supreme duty. An examination of the in the Election Commissioner's office, shows that an average of 80 Negro voters to the precinct voted for Mr. Igoe, regardless of party affiliation. "We believe that the movement will bear ripe fruit in the years to come and will yield larger and larger returns in favor of the Negro people of this community. One of its highlights has been an increased appropriation for Lincoln University at Jefferson City to the extent of Seventy-five thousand dollars. The undersigned are not democrats. "We are" republicans. We have so stated and we so voted, except that we voted for, the man whom we considered the best of the candidates running for the office of Mayor. Certainly we are happy and grateful that more than seven thousand of our fellow townmen saw fit to act and vote with us. This spirit of independence, we hope, will be nurtured and grow until the whole Negro people have their therewith. To this end efforts will be made to have an organization take charge of fostering this interest among our people."

BALTIMORE, Md., April 15.—It is said that open confession is good for the soul and surely leading chemical experts of the country should feel much better now since they have gotten off their chests something about the "superiority of Nebroses." At a meeting of chemists held here last week, Dr. H. J. Killefer of New York, told the members of the American Chemical Society how Negroes perfected experiments, with tetra-nitroaniline after Nordic blondes and Jewish chemists had keeled over in a laboratory at Boundrock, N.

The Harvest Of By KELLY MILLER Prejudice is a state of mind. Some affect to believe that it is an innate passion paralleled with instinct, and is therefore unalterable. Others make it a personality modifiable by time, place and condition, and is on the same footing with other shallow obliterative feelings. But whatever the basis of race prejudice, whether natural or acquired, we do know certainly that it is a pressing, persistent fact, easily stimulated, and appeased with difficulty. We know that races which is as real as the seas and as apparent as the mountains. Like a two-edged sword, race prejudice cuts both ways. It weakens the energies and paralyzes the moral muscle of the white race; it stultifies the conscience and frustrates the normal workings of democracy and Christianity. It fosters a double standard of oppression and leads to fear, lynching and the murder of national disgrace. The elements of the white race that are most thoroughly obsessed by this passion show the lowest average of intellectual, moral and spiritual achievement. The Ku Klux Klan spreads its virus through our democracy; Nordicism carries it to the ends of the earth. Its effects are nationally and internationally threatening, and the American people and the Nordic civilization they are part must adapt to consider whether in this evil fruit they are not nurturing the fatal seeds of world dissonance and catastrophe. But our present concern is mainly to describe prejudice as it affects the Negro. Here, the harvest of prejudice is ripe for the sociologist's gleaning. The outstanding and allificative effect of race prejudice on the Negro is the word, segregation. This is but the outer embodiment of the inner feeling of the white race. Whatever the nature, and origin of this attitude, it is well nigh universal in the scope of its operation. The watch wod is "misegenation"; the ralying cry is "social equity." The playing of these alarms and to adjust their appeal to the varying moods of popular passion and prejudice as a skilled musician plays up.

Its fumes enter the skin, and kill the red corpuscles, causing suffocation. Group after group of white men were tried and found unable to withstand, the action of the fumes. Finally Negroes were ordered to make the experiments, and were found to be able to withstand the poisons. It is said that the participants in the experiments were graded as to complexion to determine if the dark-skinned men could withstand the fumes and they did. It is said that the lightest skinned keeled over in a week, and were resuscitated with difficulty. It was found that the dark-skinned Negroes with food the fumes and enabled the chemists to complete the experiments, but the armistice it is said, was signed before much of the explosive could be used. on his favorite instrument. Until recently the Negro has been the victim, with little capacity to resist. This attitude of the white race has decreed residential segregation. Several municipalities have sought to embody this feeling in retributive voting, the too harsh zeal the overcode the reaches of the constitution and the law; Negroes, through the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, contested the constitutionality of these ordinances and won an unanimous decision from the Supreme Court. Yet the legal victory merely modified the details of a procedure; it had no effect on segregation, which no law as effectively without the law as within it, except as to the finality of its boundaries. The most gigantic instance of racial segregation in the United States is seen in Harlem. There is no local law prescribing it. There does not have to be. And yet, under the normal operation of race prejudice, we find 200,000 Negroes shut in segregated areas as sharply marked as the ales of a church. This is but an example of what is taking place in every city and center where the Nero resides in great numbers. The recent title of Northern migration has greatly increased in Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Indianapolis and Chicago, the Negro contingents lives in wards and sections of warz which the politician and the real estate dealer know as well as the mariners know the depths and shalows of the seas. We may then take Harlem as a fair specimen of the harvest of race prejudice throughout the United States. Here we have the largest Negro community in the world. It is a city within a city, a part of, and yet apart from the general life of greater New York. We need not stop here to dilate upon the inhumanity, the cruelty or the hardships of race prejudice. The purpose of these communities is immediately flowing from it. Suffice for the present purpose. These Negro communities are everywhere extending their boundaries without tending to any fixed limits we can now set. in Chicago the rapidly expanding boundary of the The St. Louis Argus ST. LOUIS, MO., FRIDAY, APRIL 17, 1925 black belt precipitated the lamentable race riot. The issue is still the cause of race agitation in milder form in all parts of the country. The whites are trying to keep back the rising tide of black invasion into residential areas previously reserved for the Negroes are pushing over the boundaries of racial restriction in quest of more room and better facilities. We may expect this minor border warfare to continue until the matter settles itself by custom, understanding and acceptance. Thus it is that the sharp accentuation of race consciousness on the part of the white population is the tendency on the part of the Negro. This is the first fruit of segregation. If Negroes were indiscriminately among the white population of New York, race consciousness would weaken to the point of disappearance. Three hundred thousand Negroes intermingled, among six million whites would be unnoticeable. But when segregated in two or three centers the African contingent becomes not only apparent, but impressive. Whenever people are thrown together they begin to think of their common interests. A common consciousness emerges which shortly expresses itself in organized endeavor. The Negro race as a whole has hitherto had a some consciousness stimulated in large part by stress of outside campulation. But the race is too numerous, too wide-spread in territory and too diverse in interests to give this conscious edge. Harlem furnishes the needed pressure. The Garvey movement furnishes the most extreme focusing of this feeling. Marcus Garvey found in Harlem not only a mass of Negroes surrounded and overshadowed by whites, but also a considerable group of West Indians, who, in many ways, felt themselves isolated and circumscribed by the native Afro-Americans. Shrewdly enough he seized upon this group as the basis of his local operation. He preached the impossibility of racial entente on the same, soil and land, the same political and social situation, and the racial necessity. His philosophy does not in this connection interest us. But he has shown to the world the possibility of focussing the racial mind, and of mobilizing racial resources about a formulated ideal. Another fruit of prejudice is the direction which race effort and or organization has been impelled to take, until recently the Negro has been thrown quite too much on the defensive. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People arose to cope with this situation on the basis of fight and protest. Their fundamental philosophy is based upon the belief that race prejudice is medicable by legal and judicial process. Their method is militant; their mood is optimistic. Equality is their goal; the elimination of prejudice their objective. The Urban League, on the other hand, has long been the method which joins that in the long run smooth working relations will be effected on the basis of mutual forbearance and good will. Its main attack is local, urban and industrial. The Negro Sanhedrin, the most recent attempt at race organization, seeks to understand the nature and extent of race prejudice, and to work on the basis of this understanding. If it should turn out that race prejudice cannot be overcome by direct attack and opposition, it may possibly, be circumvented by building independently where independence is necessary, and by cooperation where cooperation is possible. At would at least garner the harvest of prejudice to the best ad. CONTINUED ON PAGE 14 Catholics Raise $15,000 For Colored School Preston News Service. PITTSBURGH, Pa., April 15.

New Quarters Of The Urban League Of St. Louis THE MUSEUM Group Seeking Employment At Urban League Free Employment Office, 615 North Jefferson Avenue. The growth of the work of the Urban League of St. Louis during the past year has been one of the outstanding features in the history of that organization. At the recent Annual Meeting, the initial step in the League's program of extension for rendering larger service to the community was taken by the selection of a full personnel of the Board of Directors. At this same time, reports on the work were given by First Vice-President, James L. Usher, Treasurer, Dr. W. P. Curtis, and the Executive Secretary, Gordon H. Simpson. EXECUTIVE SECRETARY New Board of Directors The officers and members of the Board were elected as follows: President, Daniel N. Kirby; 1st Vice President, James L. Usher; 2nd Vice President, Mrs. S. P. Stafford; Secretary, E. D. Hartley; 3rd Treasurer, W. P. Curtis. The Board of the Board of Directors were elected in three classes for one, two and three years respectively in the following orders. For one year—Mrs. Rohand G. Usher, Mrs. Paige Brown, Charles Stix, E. G. Steger, John Strauch, Miss L. R Ernst and Joseph Harris. For two years—Prof. W. Lee Ustick, Mrs. Scott Porter, Miss Sara Young, Rev. Russell Stafford, E. D. Hamilton, Dr. W. P. Curtis and Bishop N. C. Cleaves. For three years—E. L. Harris, D. N. Kirby, Mrs. N. A. McMillan, V. C. Turner, James L. Usher and Mrs. S. P. Stafford. The inter-racial aspect of the Urban League organization is carried out in the personnel of the Board of Directors, which is composed of state and non-state members interested in providing race relations. The League is fortunate this year in securing a very strong personnel on its Board. The Urban League of St. Louis is a member of the Community Fund and Community Council of St. Louis. 1st Vice President's Report Commenting in his report the work/for the past year, 1st Vice President James L. Usher, said in part: "It is my purpose to review briefly the work of the Urban League during the year 1921. Viewed as a whole I think we can safely assert that much has been accomplished by the League. *** The League has had no president for more than a year. Death has removed several members from the Board. The Neighborhood Department suffered during a part of the year there was not a United This Department. Thus Urban League durations too cramped and inadequate to meet the demands placed upon them by industrial condition. The same conditions hampered the Industrial Department and necessitated its placing emphasis upon placements. *** "Yet laboring under the aforementioned handicaps, much has been done during the year which we may contemplate with pleasure and satisfaction. The most notable expression of Negro dramatic skill that St Louis ever witnessed was made possible through the efforts of the Urban League. *** "The League has been able to secure work at a living wage for a larger number of people than ever before. *** "The influence of the Neighborhood Department has persisted in the home life and social contact of many individuals. *** "The Dental Clinic, during the time when Dr. Hassan had a most successful period of help and service and its work has been noted, appreciated and commended by the Board of Education of the City of St Louis. *" "The public press has paid more attention to and given more space to the League activities than ever before. *** 1924 is kone and we are engaged in the work of 1925. For this year an anaclitous beginning has been made. The League is in new and spacious quarters, the Board is being reorganized to such a manner as to assure the selection of a president, and regular, well attended meetings. The Neighborhood, Department and the Dental Clinic have resumed their full activities again and all concerned are showing n zeal and an interest that angurs well for the future. EXECUTIVE SECRETARY GORDON H. SIMPSON deep sense of appreciation for the sind consideration the League has received from the public, the press, the Community Council, and the Community Fund." Treasurer's Report The report of the Treasurer, Dr. W. P. Curtis, showed the steady growth of the Urban League budget each year in keeping with the expansion of the work. It is interesting to note in passing that the expenditures during the past three years were. 1932, $9,798.62; 1923, $13,225.00; 1924, $13,925.62, while the budget for 1925 is $16,750.00. JEFFY, GORDON H. SIMPSON, BOLLING. "The occasion of an Annual Meeting offers an opportunity for reflect on what has gone before, as well as opportunities to follow," in this report, it is my purpose to touch the high points of the activities during 1924, to state some of the problems faced, the measure of success attained in their solution, and to outline the situation we face in the year 1925, already begun. "In the six years during which the Urban League has conducted a constructive program of activities for the improvement of welfare of Negroes as well as interracial relations in St. Louis, 1924 stands out as one of the greatest achievements. Such result has been possible only because the broad foundation and best training the moment of the Board of Directors, a strong professionally trained staff and the creating of city-wide contacts for Urban League service. The outstanding features of, 1924 were the placements made thru the Employment Department to the number of 5,125; the organizing of four new neighborhood clubs in territories not previously touched, and the co-operating with the St. Louis Negro Business Association in the work of the Negroes well as the production of the most successful dramatic career ever staged by Negroes in St. Louis on the occasion of the third Annual Urban League Play "If I Were King" at the Odeon Theatre, November 6 and 7. To this should be added the extension of the influence of the Urban League throughout the city, generally thru a systematic campaign of direct advertising to campaign materials and publication in the general press of the first, two of a series of feature articles interpreting Negro achievements. Industrial Department "The problems facing the Industrial Department are many and varied. However, the work of this Department has been tremendously successful when we consider the industrial conditions during 1934. Out of a total number of orders of 5,853, placements were made to the extent of 5,176. While this number is considerably lower than the placements made during 1923, namely 5,873, it will be remembered that industrial conditions were much more favorable to the employment of Negro labor in 1923, than in 1922, and that expansion accompanying the presidential year.

Churchill and wife, president and secretary respectively of the "Railway Dining and Sleeping Car Training Service" have been placed under arrest a secret indictment recently returned by Federal, grand jury, charging them with using the mails in a huge scheme to defraud in connection with an assuredly fraudulent Pullman "mail order" school of international proportions, in default of $10,000, the two officers of the concern were placed in the local county fail. Over Four Thousand Victims Carrying the following advertisement: "Sleeping Car Porters; Exp. Unacct.; Send for book rule. Book, Transportation Drawer Station C, Los Angeles, Calif." Hundreds of applications poured in weekly from prospective victims throughout the United States, Mexico and Canada. "Big pay and unrivalled opportunity" in the Pullman porter profession, according to Federal agents, was the inducement held out in advertisements. Pamphlets of the service informed prospective porters that employment out of Los Angeles on western routes, who were said to be hard pressed for employees at from $200 to $300 a month. For $3 each, a two-colo diploma was issued to the victims. According to railroad officials, "graduates" of the school by hundreds have been applying for work during the past year. Deposit Required Students are required, federal agents said, to make a deposit of $3 before receiving their book of instructions and examination questions. After answering the questions, it is said, each student was given a diploma and a letter of recommendation. His letters are said to have come to Los Angeles from far distant States after taking the course. Although the instruction book was given with the understanding that the $3 deposit would be returned if the book were returned without mutilation, the officers said it was necessary to mutilate the book, inasmuch as students were required to answer examination questions on the last four pages of the book. The Churchhills came to Los Angeles many years ago from Omaha, Nebraska, where they operated a similar school. Churchhills has operated under the name of A. V. George and his wife's name appeared on the stationery as M. C. Peterson. They resided in a luxuriously furnished home at 1808 South St. Andrews place; and their office was in room 402. Los Angeles Railways Building or Transportation building as it is sometimes called; and was evidently selected by the Churchhills to give the impression that they were in some way affiliated with transportation companies or railroads. Similar Projects Should be Investigated A survey of the classified advertising columns of the Sunday dailies and the Negro national weeklies will show numerous similar advertisements to that issued by the Churchhills, which should be investigated. Most all of the railroads employ colored help conduct their own training schools (not mall order) and the Pullman Company through its Western headquarters in Oakland conducts a training school under the supervision of efficient colored instructors, one in Seattle district, one in Oakland district and one inales district, where all inexperienced applicants are given on the necessary training with 4 charges whatsoever. In fact these schools conducted by the Pullman Company are established in the principal districts throughout the United States. "JIM CROW" IN THE U. S.

The placements based on orders in 1924 were 92% as compared with 96% in 1924. "Because of the industrial conditions faced during the year, emphasis was necessarily focused upon placements. The time was not ripe to take up with employers the question of increasing opportunities for employment of colored workers, nor was it practicable to emphasize the need for social workers in plants employing large numbers of workers. An extensive campaign was therefore conducted during almost the entire year, for the filling of personal service and domestic types of work. This condition was not per se to St. Louis, but was general throughout the country and was the experience of a large number of Urban Languages. This same problem was noted in New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, as well as Pittsburgh, and was graphically illustrated by Charles S. Johnson in the recent "Hartem" issue of the "Survey Graphic." With the completion of the organization of an Industrial Advisory Committee it is expected that many of the problems which we face, in regard to rendering larger service to industries in St. Louis will meet with their solution. There is a need for closer tying up of the industrial work of the league to the large employers of labor. This cannot be done alone by an executive and staff. The work must have the cooperation of influential white and colored citizens who can create and maintain contacts with the dustries. The plan and program of the Industrial Advisory Committee is sufficiently broad in its scope to meet some of these problems. "The first three months of 1925 have indicated a much higher placement total for the year than in 1924. For this period already 1399 places have been made as compared with 1217 for the same period during 1923. Emphasis is still being placed place by place because of the continued persistence of more than only last week we received the information from very reliable sources that the iron and steel industries in St. Louis Industrial District, plan to lay off men in considerable numbers during the next month. This has already gone into effect in a few of the plants, and others will follow. But nevertheless it is the hope of the plant owners to extend the contacts and influence of the Urban League with the industries in this district. Neighborhood Department "The work of the Neighborhood Department was hampered during part of the year because we could not secure an adequately professionally trained worker for this position. Notwithstanding this, the activities of this Department reached with varying success, ten different groups in the city in the following sections: Waring, Dumas, Lincoln, L'Ouverture, Simmons, Dessalines, Banneker Wheatley, well as a girl's club from brooklyn working in the Chester Knitting Milla and a smaller group of boys and girls. These neighborhood clubs placed emphasis on improving home conditions, as well as development of neighborhood spirit for the improvement of neighborhood conditions. Their activities consist in household economics, personal service to needy individuals in their communities in cooperation with other social agencies, lamp shade making, millinery, embroidery, home sanitation as well as discussion of neighborhood needs and plans for their improvement. The Waring and Dumas Clubs have been the most active during the year. The activities, Simmons, L'Ouverture and Linley from group be active. During the absence of a Neighborhood Secretary, the club activities were conducted by club officers, with only a fair degree of success, except in the Waring and Dumas Clubs. "We have been very fortunate in the early part of 1925 in the securing of a thoroughly trained and competent worker as Neighborhood Secretary. The work has already taken on new life, and the Neighborhood Advisory Committee, in cooperation with the Neighborhood Secretary, has outlined a thorough going plan of activities for the year. The free Dental Clinic for colored school children has been conducted under a co-operative arrangement with the Board of Education for the past five school years. Under this plan the Board of Education furnishes the services of a trained nurse, and provides the quarters, heat, light and lanitor facilities. In addition, the salary of the Dentist and furnishes all necessary dental equipment and supplies for the work. The Clinic operated in 1924 only during the months of January to June. It is interesting to note in passing that since the opening of the clinic, which closed its fifth successful year, a total of 12,732 patients were registered with 12,732 treatments and visits to the Clinic during the five years. "The Clinic was opened on March 15, 1925 at the new Lincoln School, 23rd and Walah, with much better quarters. The service will be continued during the remainder of the school year. Looking forward to the extension of this work, it is hoped that it will be possible before the close of the year to place another dental operator in the Clinic. Conclusion "All things considered, 1924 was a very successful year. We must take note of lessons from our experience as we face 1925.

Great grace was upon them all. 8. Barnabas' Generous Act (vv. 33-37). He sold a piece of land and turned over all the proceeds thereof to be used for the help of those in need. It should be borne in mind, however, that it is not said that Barnabas sold all the land he had. III. The Sanctity of the Church Vindicated (5:11). This new community is now for the first time called the church. The mention of the church in Acts 2:47 is spurious. They now have broken with Judaism so that their success depends upon their being recognized. Since this new community superseded the old, God was to make His dwelling place among them—the very sacredness of the tabernacle and temple was transferred to them. This lesson, the church itself must learn, as well as the Jewish mass surrounding it. The sacredness of God's dwelling place men are slow to learn. Moses did not take off his shoes until bidden by the Lord. Nadab and Abihu must be strenched down in the beginning of the Mosaic economy for their presumptions of offering of fire before the Lord. Achan was put to death for secreting a part of the booty soon after entering the promised land. So at the beginning of the church, this warning was needed on the part of the church to prevent the hypocrisy of double service. 1. The Occasion Which Brought This Dearful Judgment on Ananias and Sapphirae (vv. 1-4): It was their hypocritical imitation of the generals act of Barnabas. He and his wife conspired together in this defense of God. They wanted the honor without paying the price. The same love of praise is causing many in the church today to imitate their dearful mistake. Peter told them they had not lied to men, but to God. So far as we know Ananias did not speak of word, but his notions spoke louder than his words. Such actions could not be accounted for by the fact that Satan filled their hearts. But that did not causal them. They were responsible for allowing Satan a place in their hearts. We should learn from this that God and man cannot be served at the same time. People to they are walking in the way of Ananias which they all down at the Lord's table with unregenerate hearts. 2. The Judgment Which Fell (vv. 5-10). Both 'Ahannas and Sapphira fell down dead and the young men carried them away for burial.' 3. Great Fear Came Upon the Church (v. 11). This condication caused the people to know that God was with them, and it also kept the hypocrites from joining with them (v. 13). Let us beware! Presistence of Life Strange, isn't it, that marvelous persistence of life! But that is a way that life has. We speak of it sometimes as very fleeting and transitory, and yet there are so many things about us, after all, that are very hard to kill. Tears Shall Come No More God washes the eyes by tears until they can behold the invisible land, where tears shall come no more—H. W. Beecher. IF YOU MISS READING THE ARGUS YOU MISS THE NEWS THE ST.

BEREA PRESBYTERIAN The Holy Week services were fairly well attended and was a time of refreshing. The Rev. George E. Stevens spoke on "The Day of Authority" and the Rev. Samuel J. Branch on "The Day of Fellowship." Rev. Carl Wetstone of Dubuque Sonnary sends regrets that he could not be present to speak on "The Day of Crucifixion." The attendance on Good Friday was the largest of the week. Many thanks to Mrs. Chase and her committee for the beautiful Easter flowers. The cut flowers were distributed among the sick and shut-in by the visiting committee. The fine weather was a factor in bringing out joyful worshippers. The sacrament of baptism was administered to children of the covenant: Marian Sylvester, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Gillespie, Odey, Ralph, Frank and Robert Lee, children of Mr. and Mrs. Decatur Williams, and to Carrie Lee and Charles, children of Mr. and Mrs. A. Edwards, and to Walter Rowdels, nephew. Those baptized upon confession of their faith: Miss Daisy Trice, Mattice Siey, Lilian and Binette Wade, Miss Bell Marie Young and Albon Mitchell. The church session for the congregation gave them a coralial welcome and the congregation promised "to watch over you and seek you welfare in the Lord." It is no small thing to be a member of the family of Jesus Christ. The preaching of the cross always has been and will be an offense to some but to those who are called it is the wisdom and power of God. It will never disappear from our thoughts. It draws the gaze of the world. Get your envelopes for an early start. To keep up will give much aid and comfort. Our task is larger this year. A prayer—With reverent and hopeful hearts our Father, we come to Thee at the beginning of this year. We have failed of making Thy cause our cause, Thy kingdom, our kingdom. Enter not into judgment with us. Hasten the triumph of Thy kingdom. Establish every work that is founded on truth and equity, and keep us faithful as Thy stewards, until our Lord's return. ST. PETERS A.-M. E. The four services of the day were carried out as planned. At 11 a. m., the nastor preached a well prepared sermon from St. Matt. 28. He is not here. He has risen as he said. Come see the place where the Lord laid. Two infants were baptized. After the children's program, all enjoyed an egg hunt in the yard. At 5 p. m., "Onward Christian Soldier" was sung as a processional by the choir after which a cantata "A Morning in the Orient" was well rendered. There was an Easter social on Monday night at which time the young people enjoyed games and the outstanding feature was a cracker eating contest which was won by Eldie Pertle, who ate five crackers in three minutes and, was able to whistle without having had a drink of water. Don't forget the children's party Saturday, Apr. 25, On Sunday Apr. 26, Rev. J. K. Parker of Pleasant Green will presch at 3 p. in., for Club No. 2. Come out and hear him. Visitors are always welcome. Rev. E. E. Treadwell, Pastor; M. Brown, Reporter: Sunday, April 12 was another day for Bethel, beginning with the Sunday School. Our pastor preached a very excellent Easter sermon in the morning from Philippians 3:11. At the close of the sermon several received the holy baptism. We were so pleased to have many visitors present. The Easter program was rendered by the Sunday School at, 8 p. m. This was one among the best Easter programs that has been given during the history of the church. The Superintendent and teachers deserve much credit. Rev. William H. Burnette, our Presiding Elder, was present and spoke very encouragingly along the lines of Sunday School-work. Mrs. Georgia McCuff, mother of the writer is sick. Others reported on the sick list are as follows: Mr. Harrison Morris, Little Marguerite, Georgia and Etta Thomas. The children of Mr. and Mrs. Lace are also confined to Bed. We regret very much that they were unable to appear on the Easter program. The pastor and members extend to Mrs. A. B. Green, president of the Conference Branch of the Missouri Annual Conference our sympathy in her illness. We pray for her a speedy recovery. Don't forget the Quilting, which is held at the home of Mrs. J. Bradley. Wednesday of each week. Also the Busy Bee is asking all to join them and keep busy. Mrs. Willie Ridley, Reporter Sunday, April 12. was perhaps the greatest day for Metropolitan church since the new pastor took charge in July, 1924. It was Easter day and the Passion Week Services had been well attended all the week, climaxing on Sunday. The early morning service was largely attended, the empty Tomb service was unusually impressive. Mr. Charles Gaines and Wm. Cillepie of the Future Undertaking Establishment, were responsible for the fine arrangements of the sealed and empty Tomb. Mrs. Carrie Rollins and the Stewardess Boards were responsible for perhaps the finest decoration displayed in the history of the church. The sermon delivered by the pastor at the early morning service on the "Empty Tomb" was especially appropriate. The Baptizing of both the children and adults from 9:45 to 10:45 was significant. 11 o'clock service was perhaps the most influential and spiritual. The subject of "The Resurrection" as discussed by the pastor at this hour caused much favorable comment from the large audience that attended this service, for they were standing both down and upstairs. The Egg Rally service netted over twenty dozen eggs that represented the seald Tomb and are to be used in the interest of Mission. Several members joined the church at this service. The Decision Day address delivered by Mr. Chiles, Promotional Secretary of the Pine St. Branch of the Y. M. C. A., was the main feature of the Sunday School. The Superintendent, Wm. Starks, had arranged free Easter Eggs for all the members and friends of the Sunday School, so that thirty dozen were purchased and disposed of. The afternoon program presented by the Primary department, of the Sunday School, with Mrs. Louise Foster in charge, was well rendered. The Pageant, "From The Gates of His Garden," rendered by the Junior department, of the Sunday School, at the evening service, with Mrs. C. M. Moore in charge, was indeed up to the high standard. The musical program rendered by the church choir Monday night was largely attended and greatly appreciated as was shown by the liberal silver offering. Mrs. Estelle Scoggins was in charge of the musical. Metropolitan Church is being practically made new, watch her go forward. The M. E. Conference is meeting in our city this week with Bishop R. E. Jones, presiding. It is expected that Metropolitan Church will have one of the able ministers from that conference to preach at, at least, one of the services on Sunday, April 19. the pastor is to address the Pine St. Branch of the Y.

Cribb, reporter. LIBERTY CONGREGATIONAL The sermon last Sunday dealt with the resurrection. Rev Stanley spoke with characteristic fervor and conviction. This is the most fundamental doctrine of the Bible. Jesus stated His all on the doctrine. The lively hope and steadfast faith of the apostles rested upon the belief in the bodily resurrection of Christ. The assertion of the angel at the empty tomb, witnesses to his subsequent appearances. His own previous testimony concerning His coming resurrection and the incidents following His ascension, convince me of the validity of this doctrine. I accept its genius because of the monumental evidence in the Christian Sabbath, and also because there is something in me that responds to the idea. ALL SAINTS EPISCOPAL Holy Communion at 7 a.m. Church school at 9:30 o'clock. Choral celebration of the Holy Communion at 11 o'clock, with sermon by the Rector, Father D. R. Clarke.

PLEASANT GREEN BAPTIST The Pleasant Green Baptist church has just closed another successful revival meeting, with more than 80 converts, of which 33 were baptized Easter Sunday in the Mississippi River.
