COLORED BOATMAM, HERO OF MISS. RIVER TRAGEDY An Exponent Of Trutht and Justice A Square Deal For Every Man Tom Lee, With Small Launch, Saves Lives Of Twenty- Three When A Passenger Steamer Sinks Near Memphis, Tennessee. Is Named For Carnegie Hero Medal Award. Fund Being Raised For His Benefit. MEMPHIS, Tenn., May 13.—The hero, of one of the worst disasters that has ever occurred on the Mississippi River, is Tom Lee, an elderly Negro boatman, who has spent 20 years of his life on the Mississippi, and who has been in the employ of the Tennessee Construction Company for a good number of these years. Lee saved the lives of 28 persons Saturday when the government steamer, M. E. Norman, capsized and sank off Calhoun Landing, about 16 miles south of Memphis, with a loss of 22 tons. Tom Lee was killed in the dark obscurity of the Mississippi swamps, and who hardly had moderate means of existence, has been named for a Carnegie medal for heroism, and is the beneficiary of a fund of several thousand dollars which is being raised by the white business men of Memphis. Goes To Rescue The Norman cruisized at 5:12 n. m. Friday while on a return trip from Cow Island, where she had taken a party of engineers (which included some of the best in the South) and their friends and relatives, who were attending the Mid-South Association Convention, to view certain Government engineering works. Lee passed the steamer in a motor boat just before she turned over, and was about a mile down the river when he observed her ill fate. He quickly turned his boat and ran full speed ahead to the Norman, which was rapidly submerging and began to rescue persons from the swift current of the muddy Mississippi as rapidly as he could get a boat load and convey them to safety. Tells Story of Tracey Lee, in his simple manner of a veteran riverman, related the story of the tragedy to newspaper men. "I left Helena at 7:10 Friday morning," said Lee. "Just above Pluckney I saw the Norman up the river ahead of me. I passed her after a little while, but couldn't notice anything wrong. I spec' I was jes' looking at the people and didn't pay no attention to the way the boat was acting. Started Back "I kept on looking at er," I thought they were dancing. "When I was 'but half a mile above her, I happened to look back and I saw her wheel had stopped and she was leaping over to the right side. I knew sumpn was wrong, so I turned around and started toward her. "The boat had started down. It took me only a few minutes to get back, cause I was making 'bout seven miles an hour. But she was half way under and the water was full of people—both men and women. "I started draggin' them into my boat as fast as I could. They was floatin' around with life preservers on, and some was holding on to boards. The current was taking them out to the channel. They wasn't hollerin' very much. "Landed Boatload "I got a boatload and put into the bank. I don't know how many I had, but my boat hides 12. I unboated and went back. One of the white men stayed in the boat and went back to help me pull 'em in. I don't know who he was. "We loaded up again. We tried to get the women first. We was afraid to be caught by the boat's cause she was going down, and we was afraid she might tip over and take us under. The people sitting on top jumped away and then we picked them up. I couldn't see anybody at the windows inside the boat. I guess I was too busy and excited to notice. "We made four or five trips to the bank. We took everybody over I think, kept three colored fellows, who swam to the bank." Survivors Praise Bee The survivors of the tragedy prails the heroesism and coolness of the old boatman. Capt. Howard T. Fenton, who was among those rescued by Lee, declared: "Many more would have perished but for the fact that Tom Lee, a Ne- gro, came along in a boat. Lee sav- gors himself in a boat. Major Cannonly, myself and two other men were the farthest down the river and the last persons rescued Lee landed on us on a sandbar. W. W. De Benard, a Chicago engi- neer and editor, tells of the provid- ential appearance of Lee and his motor boat, and of how it crushed back and forth among the floating sur- vivors, carrying them ashore. "To Tom Lee, he says, 'probably 50 per cent of the survivors owe their lives.' Seek Rewards Major Rowley Patine of Memphis, is behind a movement to obtain a Carnage hero medal for Lee. The 40-year-old boatman was called in by the Major, he appeared dres- ed in venom. "I guess I didn't do any more than anybody else would have done," he told the Major. The St. Louis Argus TWO NEGROES WIN CARNEGIE MEDALS TWO NEGROES WIN CARNEGIE MEDALS Uniontown Pa., and Baltimore Heroes Are Rewarded For The Rescuing Of White Men From Danger. Associated Negro Press. PITTSBURGH, Pa., May 13—Robert J. Royal, Uniontown, Pa., and William W. Cagle, Baltimore, Md., were among those included in the latest award of Carnegie Hero Medals. They both rescued white men from danger. Royal is a miter. He rescued Albert E. Roby from a cave-in in a mine. While Roby and Royal were clearing a mine entry, which had been blocked by falls, a large chunk of slate fell, striking Royal on the back, temporarily paralyzing his legs, and also falling on Roby, breaking his legs and pinning him to the ground, before he reached feet to a point in the entry which had been protected by timbering. Upon calling to Roby and learning that he was injured and unable to move, Royal crawled to Roby, using his arms and dragging his legs. He raised the chunk off Roby with considerable effort and held it up, using his left elbow and forearm as braces, while Roby moved from under it. Small pieces of slate fell, but there was no further cave-in in Roby and Royal. Royal dragged himself into a mincar and drove a horse hitched to the car two thousand feet for help. He was disabled seven months and Roby nine months from their injuries. William W. Cagle, a caulker, rescued Roy G. Blinkbark, white gas company foreman, from suffocation in January of this year. Blinkbark entered a manhole, six feet deep and almost immediately was overcome by illuminating gas, which was beaking from a groken main. Cagle lowered himself into the hole and lifted Blinkbark and puffed him out. Cagle, feeling the gas affecting him, then raised his hands and several men at the top reached into the hole and drew him out. Cager received a bonus of $50 from his employers and $50 from the city. Cager has a wife and two children, 13 and 15 years of age.

FLAG IS ISSUE IN ANTI K. K. K. FIGHT School Board Refuses American Flag Presented To High School By The Klan. Supt. And Principal Jailed After Flag Disappears. The little town of Holland is still in an uprour over the disappearance of a large slim sixty-five dollar American flag which was, mysteriously removed from the Holland High School sometime ago. The anti-Klan folks don't want a flag which was presented by the Ku Klux Klan to float over the school, and the school officials have also rebelled against what they call one hundred per cent "stuff" tearing up the town. The flag was hoisted, but right it disappeared and no one seems to know what has become of it. Because of its strong opposition to the klan the management of the Holland schools, I. H. Connor, and the president of the School Board, James E. Cahoon, were arrested, and taken to Carthushelville, the campus seat of Pemiscot County, where they gave hand to appear at the Jury term of circuit cory on a charge of "defiling the American flag." The klan is said to have an organization here and O'Connor and Cameron have been openly opposed to it. Recently men alleged to be klan members solicited contribution for a flag at the high school, where they said, a larger one was needed. A total of $45 was obtained and the flag was bought. Flag Rejected by Officials Everyone in this town of 500 and in the thickly-settled farming sections for miles around wondered what the antiklan school 'officials' would say when the flag was offered. The answer was a flat refusal. Some of the men asked if it would be all right if the flag was presented by the women of the town. "We don't want a klan flag under any circumstances," was the answer of the officials. But when school opened Monday the flag bumped along the front of the large school room. It had been placed there by "the women of the town" presumably. The Flag Disappears Some of the pupils favor the klan, some are against it. They took a hand in the controversy by voting for and against the presence of the flag. On Tuesday night, when school was dismissed, the flag being serenely on the wall. On Wednesday morning it was gone. And on Thursday in walked Deputy Sheriff Albert Woolard and arrested Superintendent O'Connor. The flag has disappeared. "A bunch of fanatics down here are making all the trouble," Cahoon said. "They wanted to put on their white robes and walk kninisly into the school room with the flag. The board voted it down. I don't know who put the flag up, and I don't know who took it down." COMMUNITY CONFERENCE AT THE STATLER HOTEL Dr. George Cleveland, Hall Of Chicago And Rabba Loon, Leharrison Among Speakers.

SOUTH USING BALLOT TO GET MORE SCHOOLS Survey Shows That Negroes Are Gaining Broader Educational Opportunities Through Their Votes. ATLANTA, Ga., May 13. Slowly but surely the South is according equal education opportunities. Great inequalities in the apportionment of public funds for many communities purposes persist in many communities and the educational standard for the race is still methetically low in many institutions but the day when the Afro-American in the South can be excluded from opportunity for a good education is passing. Painful sacrifices on the part of Nerges in this section of the country bear on securing for their children what was denied to them are responsible for much of the educational advance. White philanthropists, and religious organizations in the North have done much to extend the Race's educational opportunities here in the South. The two most significant forces at work today in the improvement of the Race's opportunities in the South are use of their own voting power to force good schools from a begrudging community and the earnest efforts by southern white men and women to Negroes the opportunity for schooling now accorded whites. Whether by use of the franchise or by belated inclusion of right, the Afro-American institution good schools for his children in many sections of the South. Delegates to the recent interracial commission have brought reports of huge expenditures for schools in a number of their respective communities which were as widely separated as Texas and Virginia. Negroes Using Ballot Contrary to the widespread impression that the Negro does not vote in some sections of the South, in some communities they hold the balance of power which they are exercising in their own interest. There are sections where the "shotgun quarantine" still operates in the vicinity of the polling places and state Democratic leaders as a rule. Larry Negro votes from her primaries. It is in local elections and particularly in the bionc elections that the Afro-Americans make himself tp! Reform forces in a recent Savannah, Ga., municipal election found those who threwt until they invoked the aid of leading Negro citizens who brought out our full vote in support of the reform candidate and made possible theeling of the corrupt machine. Atlanta itself can testify to the power of the Negro's vote. The city was desperately in need of additional buildings. Proposals for bonds to finance buildings were uniformly defeated by a substantial majority. It finally dawned upon the friends of education that the bond issues were being defeated by colored citizens who held the balance of power. In despair they called upon Negro leaders to help them put over the school bond issue. They pointed out that the proposed funds were to be used for white schools only and that no concern was manifested for colored people who were still being taught in sheds of the civil war period. Through the Atlanta inter-racial committee an arrangement was negotiated whereby $1,250,000 of the proposed $4,000,000 bond issue was to be devoted to buildings for Race children. The bond issue carried overwhelmingly at the next election, and today, the City of Atlanta has a high school for colored pupils which compares favorably with the best buildings for whites. New elementary schools have also been completed as part of the program. New Era in Louisville. Bishop George C. Clement, Louisville, of the A. M. E. Zion church, told the interracial commission that it is impossible to put through a bond issue in his community without the support of the Negro vote, which is withheld when there is any discrimination in measures for new schools, parks or other improvements. Use of the ballot by Afro-Americans forced the City of Louisville to open the doors of the municipal university of Louisville to race students. Bond issues were uniformly defeated there till the tests were lifted. A state bond was educational; purposes carries the position that a fixed percentage shall be used in the education of colored children. Delegates from other sections brought race state and local expenditures for the education of Negroes and of drives made upon state legislatures for increased expenditures for this purpose which barely failed of success and which they believed would be carried at the next session—drives participated in by prominent white men and women as well as colored. Coahona county, in the heart of Mississippi's agricultural district, is spending $250,000 on a group of agricultural high CONTINUED ON PAGE 5 organizations of the city and county as well as delegates representing the organizations are invited to be present," said Miner. "The conference will not only afford an opportunity for those乡亲 social work to interchange ideas and experiences, but it will offer to the citizens of St. Louis an opportunity to learn of the many worth while things that are being thrown out the year to make the city happier and better place to be.

STUDENTS GO ON A STRIKE Twelve Hundred In Protest Against Compulsory Military Training And "Faculty Domination Of Students' Council." HOWARD UNIK. Washington, D. C., May 11—Twelve hundred students of Howard University, went on strike Thursday afternoon, against compulsory military training in the institution and "faculty domination" of the students' council. With the university band blaring a stirring air, virtually the entire student body left the chapel, where the vote to strike was vociferously taken, assembled on the campus and marched about the grounds, singing and cheering. Departments Affected The students represent the schools of education, liberal arts, applied science and the junior and commercial colleges. The force of the students' protest is said to be directed against Dr. J. Stanley Durkee, president of Howard University. Charges were hurled at the faculty of all the colleges represented in the walkout. According to Edward Lovette, vice president of the Students' Council, the chief bone of contention is the strife which has been brewing for some time at the university is the mandate issued in March that students must attend the physical education classes and become affiliated with the reserve officers' training corps. If the students, according to the faculty edict, miss—or "cut" twenty classes in either the physical education or R. O. F. C. classes, they are to be dismissed. Five students have already been dismissed for violation of the rule, it was pointed out. Ophilia Sottles, a member of the student body, cautioned the strikers to refrain from acts of violence. C. C. Cogston and Edward P. Lovette, officers of the students' council, said the council has trying to "get satisfaction from Doctor Durkee in the matter of the dismissal of the five students, but has failed up to the present." According to the students, Doctor Durkee devotes much of his time to another school in which he is interested—the Carry School of Expression—located in Boston. Now the officials at Howard University operate at the university declared they were "in conference." Signs indicating the nature of the strike were placarded throughout the campus and on streets near the university Thursday afternoon. One of the signs protesting against military training classes reads: "What as this going to be—an ar my or 'a university?' **classics** "We love freedom but we will fight for our rights. Before we will be slaves we will be buried in our graves. Don't be an Uncle Tom." RACE BOY'S DECLAMATION WINS STATE MEDAL MILLINGTON. Md.

NEW PHONE NUMBER Of The St. Louis Argus CENTRAL 4620 Address 2312-14 Market St. NEW PHONE NUMBER CENTRAL 4620 JOHN BROWN ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATED Grandson Of William Lloyd Garrison, The Principal Speaker, Says Nation Is Still Trying To Carry On Half Slave And Half Free. PRES. COOLIDGE ASSAILED LAKE PLACID, N. Y. May 11.—The John Brown Memorial Association led by Dr. J. Max Barber of Philadelphia, as its national head, hold its third annual memorial service, and also celebrated the 125th anniversary of the John Brown's birth at the grave of the old abolition hero two and a half miles out of Lake Placid today. The outstanding feature of the celebration was an address by Oswald -Garrison-Garrison, grandson of William Lloyd Garrison, the great Boston abolitionist. Mr. Villard is a former editor of the New York "Evening Post," and at present editor of "The Nation." He took to task officials of the United States from President Coolidge down, who are sworn to enforce the Constitution before which "every child in America must bow as if it were a Gessler's hat before which once Swiss peasants had to worship," and yet who openly wink at the disfranchisement of colored people in the South. Speaking in the Town Hall at Lake Placid, Mr. Villard said: "However, one feels about John Brown, whether one believes in his doctrine of violence or not, there is one thing about him which we can all join in admiring, and that is his devotion to his cause. That is one of the great lessons of his life. For what he believed to be right he was willing to spend his life, and before he was willing to give all his time to his devotion of his strength. Let no man sneak in our history when the whole trend of modern life is away from serious purposes, serious aims, when it seems as it is the bulk of our people were solely interested in jazz, the automobile, the radio, baseball, and every other form of sport. Half Slave, and Half Free. "We He still endearring to carry on Republic half slave, and half free. Naturally I refer, among other things to the condition of the colored people of whom Brown gave his life. Their disillusionment continues and few people have voices in protest. Through that disfranchisement the Constitution of the United States, that every child in America must bow down before it as if it were a Gessler's hat before which once the Swiss peasants had to worship, is slain violated. Curiously enough, the societies for the defense of the Constitution, the Daughters of the American Revolution and all our other patriotic soils, want about this floating of the sacred document which contains our fundamental he South profits by it, and Congress refuses to act and reduce the Southern representation. "The worst offenders against the Constitution today are not the handful of extremists who would move against it by extra legal measures, but the officials of our country from the President of the United States, who are sworn to uphold the Constitution, and regard it like so many other laws, something to be enforced when they are used when it suits their purposes. The President gives us one homily after another as to the perfection of our institutions and the wonderful happiness and prosperity. He cries, "Peace, Peace," and there is no peace. He does not defend the Constitution; he concludes at its violation. "I do urge whole-heartedly that the colored people of America make of John Brown, the moral crusader their inspiration, and their model and that they devote themselves without stint and without question to the cause of freedom which was but half won when Lee surrendered, and emancipation became a reality."

How do you hope to convince the public that you are not all alike, Mabel? "Birds of a feather flock together." You seem to have something in common. This girl is certainly a social favorite among you. She is cardied to all the 'swell affairs.' She isn't invited to all of them, Auntie. Perhaps not, but she certainly was invited to the affair given by your "Exclusive club a" week or so ago. Not only was she invited, but she was given a very cordial welcome after she arrived in spite of what she has repeatedly demonstrated herself to be. On the other hand, your girls snubbed and insulted a young lady, the company of a young man whom you invited, because she was not in your circle and you wanted to make the impression that you were "very particular" as to your associates. As far as any of you know, she was 100% good. Auntie, no one regretted this affair more than I and you must not think that the entire club wanted the other girl invited. The entire club might not have. THE POINSETTA Mrs. Harris of 4015 Enlight, entertained the Poinsettia Social club April 23.

Mabel, but undoubtedly the majority did and that shows a weakness somewhere in your club. How long, Mabel, do you girls intend to get and coddle certain questionable characters among you, because they happen to be the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. So and So. Stin is sin, whether committed in high or low places and is so regarded by fair-minded people. He is riot, Auntie, but what can one or two do about this condition? Why Mabel, if the others refused to ostracise her, I would withdraw my membership. Surely, in a city as large as this, you will find a few others who desire to associate with people whose names are above reproach. Some are asking the question, "what are the society folks going to do now after this most ridiculous affair of recent date?" and the answer comes back, "do what they want, make her feel herself a 'real hero' for herself a self-appointed leaders of society have always-closed both eyes and ears to everythign done by certain individuals, if they were in their "class." The younger set is simply walking the path of the older ones. Why Mabel, the society of St. Louis among us has long since been styled "hash." I guess the reason for it is that in making hash you make it of everything left over and in restaurants these ingredients, are often tainted. I confess, I am disgusted, Auntie, but it is hard to do anything alone. Well, Mabel, you can and you must come out from among them. If you wish to have the people believe you are different. They are Missourians mostly and you must "show them." Good-bye, Mabel. THE United Order of Green and Women will have a banquet at Pleasant Green Baptist church, May 21.

Other Games Will Be Played On Saturday And Sunday Starting At 3 p.m. The World Champion Kansas City Monarchs are in St. Louis for a series of three games with the Stars, at Stars' park, beginning this Friday, afternoon at 3 o'clock. The Monarchs have gotten off to a bad start, having won 2 and lost 6 games. They are putting out a bluff front, however, and are hard to beat. Three games in Chicago were decided by the scores of 1 to 0, 3 to 2 and 2 to 1; which clearly shows that only tight pitching can hold them down. St. Louis has done well, so far, by winning 7 out of 10 games. The home team, however, has been showed out of first place by Chicago and Detroit victories over their opponents. The Stars are still waiting for their pitchers to round to form. In the meantime the offensive and defensive work is of penmanal winning catcher. If the boys can maintain the speed they are going now, after the pitchers come through, the penman won't be, from Stars' park. The three games, beginning today, will be called at 3 p. m. Record breaking crowds are expected on Saturday and Sunday. The demand for box seats for all games has about exhausted the supply. The Stars will soon after sunrise and will return in time for a series with the Detroit Stars, beginning Decoration Day, Saturday, the 30th. Detroit Beats Cuban Stars And Take League Lead Detroit Beats Cuban Stars And Take League Lead DETROIT, May 13—The Detroit Stars made it three out of four from the Cubans and went into head position in the league standing. Saturday Detroit took the opening game Saturday in the score of 8 to 7. The Cubans hopped on Brumham in the first for three runs, when Fumes beat out and turned to second on a sacrifice and scored on Alphonso's double. Alphonso scored when Montalvo sided to center, the latter scored on a sacrifice fly. The Stars scored in the fourth on Stearns homer over center field fence. Wesley singled, went to second on an error, stole third and scored on Riggins' double to left. Terrrell, who received Branahan in the sixth, was hit hard, the Culutas scoring two in the eighth and ninth. The Stars won out in their half to second on Stearns' run of Wesley's hit and scored when Fumis fumbled; Wesley advanced to third on infield outs of Smith and Kenyon and tallied on Riggins' infield hit. Riggins scored the winning run on Daniels's long double to left center. ' Score: Cabins ..... 300 000 022 - 7 10 5 Detroit ..... 600 210 286 - 8 12 5 Sunday On Sunday, the Cubans defeated the Detroiters in a very loosely played game before a crowd of home fans numbering 2000. The Cubans got away to an early start, scoring in the first on Davis' error of Alphonso's easy grounder and a homer by Montalvo. In the second the Cubans tailed again when Smith dropped a raiser's fly and scored a dart out of the ground. The Stars came back in their half and scored one when Jones singled, advanced on Pryor's hit and scored when Fume fumbled Smith's grounder. In the seventh Pryor doubled and scored and Stearns tripled to deep left. Stearns stole home Score: ..... 210 210 000 - 6 - 7 1 Cubans ..... 210 210 000 - 6 - 7 1 Culpeys 210 210 000 - 6 7 1 Detroit 100 000 201 - 4 10 2 Monday Detroit won on Monday 9 to 7 in a game that was featured by home runs. Five pitchers were used and in the harvest of blows wrenched from the Cubans were four homers and five doubles. Stearns lead, in the four base knocks, getting two for himself. In the seventh inning the Detroiters went on batting spree which netted seven runs. Daniels opened with a single to left. Terrell doubled. Jones doubled, scoring Daniels and Petty, who was running for Terrell. Jones scored when Alphonso Pryor grounder got away. Davis running for Wednesday hit thru Sierra. Smith scored, both runners with a bounce over the right field wall. Kenyon followed with a circuit clout. Riggs doubled and Daniels ended the inning dying out to left.

DERBY FAVORITE HAS NEGRO TRAINER LOISVILLE, Ky., May 13.—Qua-train, picked by many experts to carry away the, honors, next Saturday at the annual Kentucky Derby, owes his fitness to "Beef" Ector, Negro trainer. The thoroughbred is owned by G. A. Ramsey and has victories in the New Orleans handicap and the Louisiana Derby.

St. Louis Stars Win Series From The Memphis Red Sox Local Baseball Warriors Capture Three Out Of Five Contests By Hard Hitting And Good Defensive Work. Davis Has Two Hit Game. Three out of five games from the Memphis Red Sox, that is the pace set by Himmy Taylor's slinging bronchos in a series that has proven that competition in the National League this year is to be the keenest that the circuit has seen since its birth, four years ago. In four of the games there was pitching of the highest order on tap while a fifth contest was staged in which both teams tried to give the game to the other and Memphis finally succeeded, the Stars winning by a 9 to 8 score. This was the first-game of Wednesday's twin bill. The Stars made it a Roman holiday by defeating Dismukes 7 to 2 in the final or twilight battle which ended at 6:10 p.m. m. Spearman's great hurting glove Memphis opened 10-9 on Sunday, after the Saturday game had been mined off the schedule. We held the locals to the club. On Monday Davis imitated Spearman's Sabbath day feat and held the Memphians to two solid blows, pitching hitless balls until the seventh and went over 5 to 1. Glass pitched the Red Sox to a 5 to 1 victory on Tuesday holding the Stars to three hits until the ninth. They came Wednesday and the Stars takedik both games and one series. Let's make it three straights for the world's champs. Sunday's Game The Stars dropped Sunday's game by a 1 to 0 score when Spearman and Hensley engaged in a hurling, duel which was one of the best seen in these parts for years. Spearman had the best of it in actual hits made but marvelous support saved him on no less than five occasions and the book showed at the end of the final inning that the locals had made but two hits off his speed ball delivery, one of these a scratch hit in the sixth, and the other a leap in the seventh, and Redus the lads who connected, the latter getting the honest blow. Meanwhile "Eggie" Hensley was slabbing some game himself and was only found for four scattered blows up to the eighth inning, when with one out he got careless in pitching to Wesley and laid one in the "alley," and the cocky little right fielder parked the apple on the root for the only score of the contest. The Stars had two chances to win the ball game; the first of, these came in the fifth and the other in the ninth inning. In the fifth Spearman walked two men and added a second to Ward's side in a great catch of Wells' drive to leave. In the ninth with Redus on first following his hit, Ward again pulled Spearman out of the hole by hooking Jim Taylor's line drive. Had the ball got through Redus would have scored the winning run.

Bell ran the run of the game. The Stars had a hard time with their pitching and only one of the trio of throwers employed showed anything to make the fans sit up and take notice. Young Dave Brown relieved Ross in the fourth after he had been home runned out of the game and allowed the Red Sox to hold the Red Sox to four hits and one run in the five innings occupied the middle of the diamond and re fired five batters on strikes and four others were forced to tap to the box. Kemp found him for a home run and Cunningham for a triple for the only damaging blows during his term. Glass had the Stars popping the ball or going on out easy rolls, allowing three hits, all the ninth loomed up and three hits were made but a lucky line drive was turned into a double play and the rally cut short. The game was a pitching classic and despite the fact that the Stars fost, it was no disgrace to bow before such pitching wizardry. Memphis . . . 100 200 101 1-511 1 St. Louis . . . 2000 000 1-2-1 Batteries:—Glass and Brown: Ross, G. Brown, Miller and Barnes. Wednesday's Games The Stars proved to the full satisfaction of all present on Wednesday afternoon that they will be in the race this year, when they came from behind in the series and captured both games of a doubleheader, winning the first contest 9 to 8 and taking Dismukes down 7 to 2 in the time battle. The Star batting punch was much in evidence in both games and in the second contest the Stars proved that the veteran players Taylor has been carrying, have staged a real comeback. Meyers, who for three years has been more or less a disappointment, pitched great ball against the Red Sox in the second game holding them to eight hits and one run after relieving Hensley in the third inning of second game. The other comeback was Right Pleaser whose proved that he can still hit and his throwing returned to form. He played a great game getting two hits in the first game and connecting once in the second contest. So this gives the Stars the much needed reserve strength Branch Russell, captain of the team, came out of the slump and got his first hit in 19 trips to the plate in the eighth inning of the second game. The first game was a wild and wooly affair with both teams batting, running and fielding in great style and going into the ninth the score was tied at eight all, but 'Ivy Williams, the obleging Memphis shortstop, donated the Stars a run when he missed a toss from Miller to start an easy double play in the ninth and Both scored from the winning run. Other detail of this game would prove too-length and uninteresting. Suffice it to say, the Stars won the game, and after all that is the big thing. The second contest was entirely different as Dismukes and Meyers struggled along with the score three to two in favor of the local team until the seventh when the Stars found "Dizzy" for three hits and four runs, to clinch the contest. Deacon Meyers pitched a great game and drove in two runs in the third inning to put his team in front. After having done that he saw the CW of course that seventh inning rally enabled him to breeze under the tape with flying colors. It was truly a great ending for a great series in which both teams played hard and were on their toes from Sunday at 3 o'clock until ten minutes after six on Wednesday evening. It looks like a big year in the National League and Chicago and Kansas City are in for some real competition in the long champion ship grind and the fans will see a fighting and shrugging team representing the City with both the nickname the Stars should remain at the top of the league race or close enough to make it interesting for all parties concerned. Let's go from here, Bring on the Monarchs. First Game— Memphis — 101 101 201 - 811 4 St. Louis — 300 100 401 - 911 9 Batteries:— Stamps, Spearman and Brown; Miller, Hensley, Meyers, Broyles and Barnes.

Herring The Stars and the Memphis Red Sox tormented the fans with five of the best games that have been seen on the local diamond in many a day. Sunday's game was a pitchers' bat between Hensley and Spearman. The only score was a home run made by Wesley. Davis on the mound for the Stars Monday held Memphis to two hits. He did not allow a man to reach first base until the seventh innning. The surprise and the most pleasing thing of the series was the pitching of Deacon Meyer. Two home runs, a walk and a hit batter seat Ross to the showers Tuesday. He looked good up to the fourth. Russell's triple in the doubleheader Wednesday brought him out of his slump of one hit in eighteen trips to bat. There were ten home runs in the series, and some wonderful catches made by Ball of St. Louis and Ward of Memphis. Watts was not able to stand up under the strain of the hard battle with Memphis, and was forced to retire in favor of Russell. Reese staged a wonderful come back Tuesday. He handled five chances perfectly, got two hits a double, and a triple-out of four trips to bats and threw out Wesley who thought his arm was gone. Good work, Reese, old boy. The Kansas City Monarchs, world champions, will be on hand for a series of four games Friday. In The Field Of Athletics If the distance that the Trade Week Marathon Race was supposed to be is correct, Brister Grisby, the winner of the senior race, is perhaps one of the greatest middle distance high school runners in the country. He was timed at 20 minutes and 2 seconds for a distance of 100 meters and 4-14 seconds would have beaten many of the best college middle distance runners of the country. He is doubtless a prospect for the shoes of the present, amateur middle distance running, champion of the United States, Earl Johnson. Following close on the heels of his remarkable feat in *in equalling the world's record of 25 feet, 6 inches in the broad jump* at the Howard and Hampton track meet, the great Negro athlete, DeHart Hubbard, sped thru the air for a hundred yards at as fast a rate as any human being has ever run that distance. He made the distance in 9:35 seconds, tying the record of the fleetest runner in the world, Charlie Paddock. So fast did Hubbard run, that he left the nearest runner by 6 feet. The feat occurred Saturday. May 9 at the Ohio State-Michigan dual track meet. Richard Hudlin has qualified for the University of Chicago Varsity team. The first 'time' that a Race student has ever represented one of the leading white-universities of the country. In his first appearance he helped score the only doubles victory won against the University of Minnesota 6-3, 6-0. Hudlin's position on the college team will place him in for a chance of competition with some of the lead, ing white tennis stars of the country. Jockey G: Hudgins continues to ride in great form. Rarely does his mount finish out of the money. Last week at Hayre D, De Grace, he landed a long shot in second place, paying $22 for $2. It is reported that Hudgins is the son of a preacher. He is under contract with this. He P Whitney stable. For his outside mounts he gets $10 and an additional $25 for a winner. Chick Suggs played his fifty-first consecutive hallay and cocked Billy Marlows of New York to sleep in the fourth round of a scheduled 10-round match. He administered the awful sleeping potion that he packs in his right arm to the Manhattan fighter's chin with an upper cut and sent him down for the count. The fight was held in New Bedford, Mass. The-feat of Tiger. Flowers in defeating two men in one night recently in Philadelphia, has recalled to the memory of some Quaker City fans the stunt Tommy. Coleman, a Negro Lightweight, pulled there some years ago. In was in the days of six-round limit, no decision bouts, and Tommy undertook to defeat six men in succession, meeting them for a round apiece. He not only succeeded, but knocked out two of them. That's one of the oddest tricks in ring history. Baseball Championship Game TROPHY Winners Of The Public School Groups Will Contest For Supremacy and the Argus Silver Loving Cup.

The committee's action indicates that the Japanese issue may be reopened in the next Congress, Orpheus of Asiatic immigration point out that all Asiatices are debarred under the present law. Friends of the Japanese appear to be only interested in that nation, and they would create a popular opinion that the Japanese are discriminated against. ORGANIZED LABOR HEARS PLEA FOR NEGRO LABOR ORGANIZED LABOR HEARS PLEA FOR NEGRO LABOR T. Arnold Hill Appears Before A. F. of L. Council "The Negro must know that he is wanted within the ranks of the labor movement and efforts must be employed to get him in. The "free-trade organization" must be known the only of their untenable position of segregation and discrimination." With this as the keynote of his remarks, T. Arnold Hill, Director of the Department of Industrial Relations of the National Urban League, addressed the Executive Council of the 'American Federation of Labor in Washington on Thursday, last. The newly elected president, William Green, who succeeded Samuel Gompers and the full membership of the Council, consisting of ten heads of internationalists, were present. Calling attention to the 'inseparability of the interests of white and colored workers, Mr. Hill said: "Whatever is fair and profitable for our nation's workers is fair and profitable for Negro workers. Those workers in juvenile labor. If white of most rank for a livable wage then Negroes must have the same livable wages. If white men receive high wages and Negroes do not, then sooner or later no one will. What is true of wages is equally true of all the benefits which labor is now receiving and may hereafter acquire." When told by members of the Council that the American Federation of Labor had for forty years declared equally within the ranks of the labor movement, Mr. Hill reminded them that organized labor claims that the Negroes broke the Steel Strike; and would break others as they accumulate strength and confidence, participants within labor's ranks. Continuing he said, "More than 18 per cent of the colored workers were engaged in manufacturing and mechanical pursuits in 1920 as compared with 12.6 in 1910 and in Chicago alone it is estimated that industrial workers increased from 27,000 in 1910 to 70,000 in 1920. The purpose of Mr. Hill's visit was to ask that the American Federation of Labor join with the League in forging a new model of labor that would insure confidence in the integrity of the labor leaders and a more democratic stand on the part of labor organizations. This is one of the main objects of the National Urban League's new Department of Industrial Relations which Mr. Hill heads. NATIONAL LEAGUE Games Called at 3 p. n.

May 13. Through the action of Governor Baker last Monday, the sentences of two life termers of Twenti- tenniary were commuted, and two white inmates were granted paroles.

While the results might have been better on the whole, the interest awakened by the wealth of special effort justified the celebration of "Trade Week." At a special meeting of the League held at Pine St. Y. M. C. A., a recapulation of the week's activities was made, and the results tabulated. Prof. J. W. Hays, in addressing the members, stated that any disappointments due to lack of interest on the public was caused for the most part by the bethargy of the merchants himself. Prizes were given to the winners of the marathon race for boys by Mr. Woodson of the Y. W. C. A. Prizes in the popularity cost will not be awarded until the tickets are all in. Miss Kathryn M. Johnson, former Field Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., was introduced and made an interesting talk, stating that in her travels she found that in most instances the lack of co-operation between buyer and seller of our race is due to an inferiority complex developed during long years of slavery. At the close she explained that her mission was to fight this condition by the introduction into Negro homes, the "Five Foot Shelf of Negro Literature." Secretary Allie Jones made a brief talk, giving his impression of what Trade Week had meant, and chided the members for their lack of initiative. Announcements of a picnic, a junketting trip and other activities were made by Mr. Hays. He also commended Mr. Jesse J. Johnson, a non-member, for having sold a large number of tickets for the boat excursion. All things considered Trade Week was a decided success.

Ziff Co., 608 South Dearborn St., Chicago, Ill. MAYOR MILLER AND THE KLAN AGAIN Despite his many denials, and those of his friends and supporters, Mayor Victor J. Miller continues to indicate by his words and actions that he, in some way, has Ku Klux Klan connection. This argument is strongly supported by a recent statement of the mayor, in which he, without any apparent reason or justification, said that the contest of his seat for mayor was made because he was a "white American born protestant, and a believer in the Christian religion." All he left out was "100% American" and the Klan creed would have been chanted in his utterance. This, to our minds, looks like a direct appeal to race and religious prejudice, the doctrine upon which the Klan thrives. If he did not intend that, pray tell us why did Mr. Miller say he was "white?" He is presumed to be white all the while, therefore, there was no necessity for making, such a statement unless it was to give aid and comfort to the Ku' Klux Klan. If there were those who might not have known that he was an "American born protestant, and a believer in the Christian religion," surely every body knows that he is presumed to be "white," being mayor of St. Louis. It was similar words or actions that made the Klan issue cling to Mr. Miller during the recent primary and general election. The above quotation seems appropriate in describing the actions of Tom Lee, a Negro, who rescued over thirty people from the Mississippi River at a time when their lives were in great peril caused by the sinking of a pleasure boat on which they, a few minutes before, were enjoying a pleasure outing. Lee is quoted as saying, "I never thought about whether those people who were drowning were white or black, all I was trying to do was to save all the lives I could, somebody was drowning." The same thing, no doubt, might be said of those whom he rescued. They didn't care whether it was a black hand or white hand that rescued them; all that mattered was being saved from what they believed to be sure death. And this is where the touch of His divine hand comes in. Just think of it! in the South, down below Memphis, white men, women and children, clinging to the neck of a Negro and forgetting that he was black or white! We are told, also, that the question of social equality was not raised at all. Everybody was just a human being after all. Even members of the Ku Klux Klan, who no doubt, were aboard the sinking ship forgot all about "white supremacy," and saw the brotherhood of man in the black man for the first time. Surely, surely, one touch of His divine hand makes all human beings akin. The storm that centered around the head of Lincoln University has somewhat blown over, yet those who are interested in the future of Lincoln must continue to be on the alert, and help combat the evil insidious influences that are seeking to destroy the school. To remove President Young at this time, means to put the school back in the spoil system, and, of course, under the spoil system, efficiency does not count. Frequent changes will keep us from getting first rate teachers because capable men are not changing around the corners awaiting a call. Let it once become generally known that the school is a tool in the hands of designing politicians, and that political "pull" is necessary to hold a position in it, and the university is ruined. It will be noticed that none of the heads of the white state school are changed. The reason is clear. But when it comes to Negro schools, there are those, both white and black who say, "anything will do." They will endeavor to "put one over" on the colored in the way of manufactured excuses. Let the people stand up and fight for their rights. Help the babies in their fight to emancipate their parents, brothers and sisters—"And a little child shall lead them."

LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, MAY 15, 1925 MUSIC, ART, DRAMA AND LITERATURI By RICHARD JACKSON St. Louis Music Association "A few years ago, a group of musicians and music lovers assembled to consider the organization of a music association for St. Louis. The group, though small, discussed enthusiastically the project and a permanent organization was perfected. "The purpose of the _organization_ was to foster and stimulate the development of a higher standard in music, and this has been most successfully accomplished through the inspiration of its meetings and thru the presentation of high class visiting artists. "The association has enjoyed an atmosphere permeated with good fellowship and congeniality. It became affiliated with the National Association of Negro Musicians in the year of 1921. The membership is one hundred. There is a steadily growing associate membership. There is a Junior department, of boys and girls between the ages of six and sixteen. Their membership is sixty." Such is a brief account of the history and activities of the St. Louis Music Association found in the forewords of the year book for the season of 1924-25 which will close next Sunday with a grand musical festival. Miss Mabel Story is said to be the real founder of the St. Louis Music Association. Since its beginning it has done much to accomplish the end for which it aims. It now has with in its membership the majority of the Vocal musicians of this city and the Vocal as associate members a good number of musicians interested in raising the standard of music, or who, through their appreciation for music, have the desire to become patrons of the art. The association has had an especially active season during the past and present years. The organization's program shows that it presented one visiting artist, Mime, Florence Cole Talbert, local artists and music organizations. Besides these outstanding events the organization held nine sessions during the season at which time various local artists entertained, and subjects relative to music were expounded by certain members, and discussed by the body. Through these recitals, concerts and meetings there has been developed a much wider interest in this city; and from the attendance of many musical affairs that have been given certain wise to suspect that they have been responsible for the inspiring of a broader appreciation for music. For the last two years the Music Association has had a definite program of study, which has been confined to the value of music in its relation to educational development within the Race. This season's program was designed to give the Association an opportunity for original Negro music. Some eminent authorities in the field of musical research are in the opinion that the Negro folk songs of ante-Bellum times were influenced by European music. The organization has aimed to overthrow these contensions in its studies this year and has succeeded admirably. One of the customs of the Music Association is to submit $100 each year to the scholarship fund of the NNAC Association of Negro Musicians of which it is a branch. The fund goes to worthy Negro student of music opportunity for study under some of the leading masters in Europe. Next Sunday the St. Louis Music Association will close its year's program at the Y. M. C. A. The affair will start at 4 p. m. All of the music lovers, patrons and followers, as well as individuals interested in those civic organizations of the city that are dedicated to our welfare, are expected to take an admission to the cordial invitation extended to the citizens to attend this complimentary event, St. Louis finest colored music body and one of the outstanding of the country, the Shrine Band of Medinah, Temple No. 29, will be the principal artist on occasion. Prof. William Blue will be the principal as director. Other favorites that will appear are Miss Ruth Minor, Mrs. Heather Robinson and Miss Iona Allen as soloists, and Miss Grazia Corneal will present the Young Ladles Glee Club. It is pleasant news to the Race, as a whole as well as to all St. Louisans to hear that the former director of music in the city colored schools, Mr. Gerald Tyler, who was forced to re-enter 1922, has recovered sufficiently to be in his city, the unfortunate affliction that befell the silent musician, who was known in prominent musical circles, both colored white, all over the country, was considered a severe blow to the Race. His loss was considered a great loss, for he was truly a master. His compositions gained such prominence as in demand by the Boston Symphony orchestra. He was granted the privileges of hearing, complete access to the private library of one of the country's greatest music academies. If Prof. Tyler recovers the Races will have regained one of their few geniuses—an artist gifted with an aptitudes of a music master. **** Squibba The Booklovers scored a grand success in their presentation of Mrs. Morse, or the Morse School of Exp ression, in raising the popular comedy "The Goose, Humming High" at the Poro College, last Wednesday. portrait painter.

SIMPSON Executive Secretary, Urban League of St. Louis Making Good In Industry The colored workman has beyond a doubt, "made good" in northern industry. From all over the country reports from employers of labor testify to the efficiency and dependability of colored labor. From some quarters come reports that colored workers are the stabilizing element and their employment has lessened the possibility of friction and strikes. St. Louis is not exertion to the general rule. Colored workers have made good to a marked degree in this district. In the iron and steel industries, workers have been employed in increasing numbers in semi-skilled and skilled types of work, and the retention of their services, even in periods of depression, in a testimonial to a satisfactory record. The Seillin Steel Co., Pallman Shop, American Car and Foundry, American Steel Co., More-Jones Brass and Metal Co., and many other large industries in this district employ numbers ranging from 10% to 50% of their workers from the colored group. The officers of these industries resist to the fact that workers have a reasonable pace with opportunities, affixed them and are regular and punctual in their attendance. It is reasonable to believe that these industries in their program have laid the foundation for a more extensive employment of colored steel workers in the plans for the establishment of the steel industry in this district on a mammoth scale. What the future holds no one can predict definitely, but this much is true if colored workers continue to do their share. In keeping up standards of workmanship, regularity and punctuality, together with a reasonably low labor turnover, their employment in the steel industry in increasing numbers is assured. The old theory held by some employers that colored workers were good only for breaking or preventing strikes has given place to the reaffirmation of the true value of colored workers. Where opportunities have been given, our workers have measured up to standards in many sections of the country. It is interesting to note, however, that in many instances requiring some degree of skill the average colored man has, a higher educational background than the average white worker on the same type of work. This may be accounted for by the rather limited range of opportunities open to our young men, while the range open to the dominant group is not so limited. An interesting example of this attitude was experienced by the Urban League's a Short Time ago. A small manufacturing" concern decided to employ colored workers. The manager requested high school graduates. The work, though semi-skilled, really required more muscle than brain. Even though this was pointed out to the employer, he insisted upon a high school grade of workers. After two weeks of varied experience with a high turnover, the employer was finally convinced his theory was wrong. He now has a reliable group of regular workers on the job who are turning out increased production in his plant. The attitude reflected in this instance of requiring a higher grade of intelligence among colored workers than among any other group on a given job, is fast being torn down by experience as new opportunities are opened up. Such experiences lend emphasis to the true meaning of the Urban League Slogan, "Not Alms, But Opportunity." The earlier century will-write an interesting poem that the progress of Negro workers "making good" in industry.

JUNIOR IDEAS Edited by LORETTA E. OWENS Maud and James were inside their summer living room lobbied close together, as the hall hale steadily and heavily on the window panes, the wind whistled, the thunder rolled and the lightning flashed. Outside a tree had fallen against their sturgeon and broken its window how horrifying the crashing fall was. Finally the storm became more calm. Two soft taps were heard on the door. Who could that be, thought Maud? It can't be a visitor for no one lives within six miles of us. The knock sounded again out more slowly and beneath the window. Haunts, thought Maud. "John, John, do you hear that?" she wished between breaths. It is only a mouse in the store room. They yourself with your sealing. The knock was heard again, but this time accompanied by three slow groans. Mand hurriedly threw her shawl about her shoulders and went to the door. She looked but saw nothing She listened for the groan, but heard none. "John: John." she called. "The lantern. We must search for what happened." She two walked about four feet from their door when John stumbled. "My that was a wretched storm. Stumps and stones blown everywhere." "No," said Maud. "that was no stump. It is an old lady. See she struggles to get on her feet. She grimishes distressfully. Lend a hand. We will carry her in the house." The old lady was not so badly hurt, but being aged she was weak and feeble. Her wounds were dressed and she was given some hot tea and put to bed. The next morning after a breakfast of hot coffee, steak, potatoes and rolls, John and Maud started on the road to the old lady's house. When they had walked less than a mile the old lady's son was met searching for her. He put them all in the wagon, kissed his mother warmly, and took Maud and John back to their summer home. Upon leaving them, he gave Maud five dollars for his hospitality. "View them near At home, where all their worth and pride is placed." And there their hospitable fires burn clear. THE LITERARY WORLD John Shakespeare John Shakespeare, an English orientalist, was born at Loun, Leicestershire in 1774, and died June 10, 1858. He belonged to a family of farmers, but received a good education, and under the patronage of Lord Rowden went to London, devoted himself to oriental studies, and for a while was a professor in Addisones College, which position he resigned in 1852. He was the first author of good elementary works for instruction, and his grammar dictionary and "introduction to the Study" of that language have passed through several revised and augmented editions. He also contributed to the study of Arabic literature, and furnished many papers to the "Journal of the Asiatic Society." Shakespeare's house at Stratford-upon-Avon was purchased for preservation by the Shakespearean Club. By Kewpie Robert Lee Hampton GOSSIP Miss Aledda Ward, formerly of the George R.

BAKER JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. May 12- Under the auspices of the Jefferson City N. A. A. C. P., Mr. Wm. Pickle, field secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., was invited to speak at the First Baptist church here, May 6, Rev. E. L. Scruggs, president of the local branch. There was present at this meeting a large, and enthusiastic crowd, sisting of the members of the associa- tion and citizens of the city. On Wednesday night there was a Baby Contest. Mr. Picklems also spoke at the contest. Among other things he said, "The N. A. A. C. P., has won the respect of its enemies, the res- pect of those whose only charge is that the organization is doing too well. We are striving for an equal chance for the colored people. We do not try to quality, that fact. We have equal everything under God's sun. Human equality is best for the colored people. That is what the N. A. A. C. P. is trying to obtain. This organization has been the only organized fight on lynching for 10 or 12 years. Last year we lynching down low figure. One of the biggest elements of the work of the N. A. A. C. P., investigating and bringing out the real facts, true facts on lynching. We have proven that lynching was not always for rape. The mobs that did the lynching accused only 16% of their victims of rape. If there is a spirit of a superior race and an inferior race, there is going to be a lynching. The idea of an inferior is at the bottom of the lynching program. The first thing to be given rid of is this. The man must be judged upon their individual merit. During the last year there were 16 lynchings. For forty years the age per year has been 100. The N. A. A. C. P. has made a definite fight in order to make the American peo- ple realize what lynching is: it has presented more facts on lynching than any other organization in America." Mr. Piekens related an incident which happened during the meeting of the American Bar Association in London, England. Thru the instrumentality of the N. A. A. C. P., the magnitude of the lynching evil in America was advertised in London. The organization employed a group of men to walk about in the vicinity of the assembly of the American and British lawyers, carrying signs which gave statistics on lynching. When the members of the association came out of their meeting place, their eyes fell upon these signs. "This demonstration had an ineffaceable effect upon the American lawyers. We mean to keep up the fight until the demon vanishes. The greatest weapon against an evil is publicity. We spent $7,000 advertising lynching one day in a New York newspaper. We want to put it where the white people can get it. If many of them knew, they would be with us in the fight, many would be decent if enlightened." He told to the Elaine Riot, Mr. Pleckens said, "in an organized fight we not only prevented the state of Arkansas from putting to death 12 Negroes, but these men have been liberated thru our efforts. The day for the execution of these men was set five times, and each time it was prevented. This case alone, if it was the only work done in a period of six years, is worth any man's dollar a year membership." A review of the Honston Riot was given by Mr. Pickens, also the work done in behalf of those men who yet remained imprisoned as the outcome. Nineteen men were hung before sunrise the morning following the outbreak. "We have spent seven years trying to get the remainder of these men out of prison. A petition signed with 50,000 names was presented to President Harding, but no results were obtained. Before Mr. Coolidge was elected, he was presented with a certificate containing 125,000 signatures. Romney have been secured from Mr. Coolidge. The warden under whose jurisdiction these men are incarcerated wrote a letter to the War Department, saying their discipline was the very best, and none of them had given any trouble. Concerning the residential segregation case of Mrs. Helen Curtis of Washington, D. C. Mr. Pickens said, "The N. A. A. C. P. is behind her case. If she loses, we lose. It is a fight of the colored people." Nature lovers are fond of the 'great open spaces'; but it is some job getting there; and still more of one to be able to make a living there. Notice!

Newspaper Uden.) SAUL BECOMES A CHRISTIAN LESSON—TEXT—Acts 9:1-19. GOLDEN TEXT—"If any man be in Christ Jesus, he is a new creature."—I. Cor. 5:17. PRIMARY TOPIC—A Man Who Helped Another. JUNIOR TOPIC—How Saul Became a Christian. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Saul Was Converted. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—A Study of Conversion. I. Saul's Violent Hatred of the Lord's Disciples (vv. 1-2). Saul knew full well that unless the movement set on foot by Jesus was stopped, it would supersede Judaism. He was ignorant of the genius of Christianity. He did not know that the "blood of martirs is the seed of the church." The noble display of faith by Stephen in seating his testimony with his blood did not soften Saul's spirit, but rather intensified his hatred for Jesus and His disciples. It made him more determined than ever to stamp out the Nazarene heresy. The intensity of his madness, and the extent of its operations are best set forth in his own words, "And I persecuted this way unto the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women" (Acts 22:4). "I both shut up many of the saints in pilosns having received authority from the chief priests, and when they were put to death, I gave my voice against them, and punishing them off in all synagogues I strove to make them blaspheme, and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even unto foreign cities" (Acts 26:10-12 R. V). II. Saul Kicking Against the Pricks (vv. 3-9). The figure here is that of the Eastern ox driver following the ox with a sharp iron fixed to the end of a pole. The animal is prodded on with this instrument and if it is refractory it kicks against the sharp iron and injures itself. This is a picture of Saul as he was madly fighting against Jesus. 1. A Light From Heaven (vv. 3-4a). The time had come for the Lord to interfere. Saul was stricken with blindness and fell to the earth. This physical demonstration accentuated the workings of his conscience—which doubtless were going on quickened by the Holy Spirit as He used Stephen's testimony. 2. A Voice From Heaven (vv. 4b-5). This was the Lord's voice calling Saul by name and asking, "Why persecutest thou Me!" This moved Saul to inquire, "Who art thou, Lord?" The answer came, "I am Jesus, whom thou persecutest." He is so closely identified with believers that He feels their sufferings and regards treatment of them as treatment of Himself. 3. Saul's Inquiry (vv. 0). "What Wilt Thou Have Me to Do?" The Lord told him to go into the city where information would be given him as to what he must do. 4. Saul Entering Damascus (vv. 7-0). The haughty persecutor went quite humbly into Damascus, led by his attending. For the space of three days he remained blind and fasted. What went on in his soul in those days no mortal can know, but we may be assured that he, like the Lord in the wilderness, was too deep in meditation and prayer to desire food. III. Ananias Ministers to Saul (vv. 10-19). 1. Ananias' Vision (vv. 10-12). In this vision the Lord appeared and instructed him to go to Saul. He gave him the name of the street and Saul's host, and informed him that Saul was now a praying man, and that He had prepared Saul by a vision for the coming of Ananias. 2. Ananias' Fear and Hesitancy (vv. 13-18). He knew of Saul's ministry and the authority by which he came. The Lord encouraged Him to go, assuring him that Saul is no longer an enemy but a chosen vessel to hear His name before the Gentiles, kings, and the children of Israel. 3. Ananias' Obedience (v. 17). His fears being removed, Ananias want to the house where Saul was saying, put his hand on him and infectionately addressed him as "brother." Ananias told Saul that the Lord had sent him with a two-fold mission: (1) "That thou mightest receive thy sight." (2) "He filled with the Holy Spirit" 4. Saul baptized, vv. 18-19. After Saul received his sight Ananias baptized him. The Lord bestows the gift of the Spirit upon whosoever He will, and may designate anyone whether occupying an official, position or not, to lay hands upon individua. Praver Prayer is the peace of our spirit. The stillness of our thoughts; the rest of our cares; the calm of our tempe. The Angels Angel served God and ministered to men when they proclaimed 'Christ's birth.'—Freshysterian of the South. Strength Strength is born in the deep silence of long-suffering hearts, not amidst joy.—Mrs. Henank.

The sky was cloudy but there's always plenty of light and energy where the sunbeams gather. *** Mrs. Nellie Holly was called to Birmingham, Ala, by the death of her dear aunt. * Daniel Webster once said that the strongest argument for religion that he knew was an aged numb of his who lived up in the New Hampshire hills. A comparison of Protestant populations England 19 and American 28 and Scotland 21 But numbers do not tell the story. One better way which keeps God's law. * Miss Julia F. Parr. Howard senior, writes of the strike of 1200 of the students. Many and old grievances have come to a head. We hope for a speedy settlement for the best interest of all. The Delaware Legislature passed a bill imposing a $75 fine for a first offense and revocation of license for a second offense upon any school teacher who fails to read five verses of the Bible and have the children recite the Lord's Prayer at the opening of each school day. The New Jersey legislature passed a bill which will permit the reading of selections from both the Old and New Testaments in public school excerpts. The bill also barred. Gratuitously the old paths are being sought: * Instead of the usual spring rally let us try the "Tide Over Day" plan outlined. Sunday June 14 is the day. Keep your Sundays for the great things of your soul. Every church has faithful officials and faithful church members. But much is to be gained by joining forces with other faithy people.

FILCHING GOOD NAMES The variety of failures reported in the colored group during the past year, and with increasing scope quite recently, on the part of commercial organizations, other agencies and individuals, are too discomforting. The percentage may not seem so high, but the importance of the factors, herefore regarded as permanent successes, to which our platform orators have been able to "point with pride", makes the conditions, irritating and embarrassing. In each case separately, would throw a false light on the situation. In some instances, perhaps, the violation of the simplem moral code might truthfully be employed as a just estimate or reason for the slamming of these activities or reputations toward the rock crushed business destruction. The trade, offensively, even, yet the social game in the only safely played game, the rock crushed business destruction, even the game suggests, if the rule is disregarded. The simplest form of checks breaks up if one of the players decides to violate the code. It is difficult to "get anywhere" in even an inconsequential meeting if all refuse to recognize the order of business or enser at what is sometimes call "parliamentary" law. The game is stopped by the authority if you carry the football out of bounds. It is therefore the hope of friends of Negro progress inside and outside race lines, that we will pause briefly, merely to analyze such causes for these commercial and individual steps that have affected our confidence, and guide by a reemphasis of such information, press on to greater permanent achievements. Failure is no synonym of rascality; bad judgment not always the equivalent of even even delinquency is sometimes elicited by motives such as the urge often accepted in qualifying an impeachment. In any event, there is nothing to be gained by vituperation or unkind criticism from the whispering gallery. Less help by blowing or listening, to the citation of insinuation or immature charges crowned by the uncertain authority of journalistic scare heads and artificial date lines. The Negro Press will need to bring forth its great period of sanity to create the right impressions and inspire among the masses respect for those who still deserve it, and faith and ambition. This attitude should apply, as I see it, toward all the reported misfortunes, if we may so designate them; whether it be the loss of control of an insurance company, a bank receivership, a loss of circulation in a leading magazine, or the much gossiped upheaval in the personnel of a greatest weekly. May we be generous also in placing the blame on individuals, unless the record of proof is positive, and in our pride, virtue, or the basis of individual conduct. Character is too sacred, reputation too precious, to be mistreated. Robs me of that which and enriches him And makes me poor indeed CHICAGO SUBURB TOWN THREATENS NEGRO FAMILY CHICAGO, Ill., May 6—The village of Downers Groves, twenty-two miles from Chicago, which has a population of 6,000, among which there are three Negro families, was at peace until last week when the fourth Negro family appeared, the Negro family arrived from Kawanega, Ill., and the family. The former was brought to the city by Roy C. Toombs, president of the local bank, and employed by the bank as a porter. Since the new colored family arrived Toombs has received storms of protest and threats, have been made to blow up the house in which they live. The Citizens Association was placed in a so-called demeanor. They wished to protect the Negroes because of their constitutional rights, but desired also to invite them to leave because of fear that their presence If your Hairdresser Cannot Supply you, get it from the nearest Drug Store or direct from THE SLAUGHTER SYSTEM 3001 Lawton Ave. St. Louis, Mo.

Fields Mothers Day was a decided success at our church Sunday. A large congregation assembled at 11 a.m. and listened to a powerful hymn she sang, "Mother," "Test, St. Luke," "All she brought forth her first born son and laid him in a manger." Among the many valuable things the doctor taught us was that mother is a producer, the first teacher and the first impression at the child has. He also said, mothers are the greatest human beings in the world in that he also said the acme of pure manhood was to be mothers' same day. A large congregation attended all three of the services. One occasion and a collection of $60.00 was taken. May 14 is the great Memorial Day fallen soldier in the army of Jesus during the first war of the World War. THE ST.

Copyright, 1925, by Associated Copyright, 1925, by Associated Negro Press. Editor of The Messenger, Dear Sir: It has come to my attention that young distinguished critic, Mr. J. A. Rogers, takes exception to my calling Cleopatra a mutilator, also attributing Negra blood to Mohammed and Emperor Trajan. He traces the Ptolemy line down to Ptolemy XII and then asserts that Cleopatra was in every sense "the daughter of the Ptolemiens." But why did our good friend Rogers stop with Ptolemy XII? That is just where he should have started in tracing the descent of Cleopatra. Ptolemy XII was the illegitimate son of Ptolemy Soter II, the latter having this son by a native Egyptian woman. This son succeeded to the throne and had full rights one of the four best-known Cleopatra. As far as I am able to discover, the famous Cleopatra and her father were the first of the Ptolemy line who possessed Egyptian blood. If I cared to go deep, into this Maracoonian line, I might cite to Mr. Rogers that the first royal house of Macedon, the Temnidem, came from Argos in Greece, and were the descendants of those African colonists who settled in Argos. However, we will not stretch the point unduly, as the blood was probably thinned in the blood of the people. It is a fact hardly requiring further proof that the Empress Josephine was a Creole and possessed "Dark blood. As to Mohamed, he came of the tribe of Korsish, that famous Arabian house founded by the Venemen, who were almost pure Negroes and under the suzerainty of Ethiopia. Mr. Rogers further says that I am developing the "Nordic habit of reaching back and claiming the not-people and civilizations of other peoples," and that I am borne "To be sure. Why not? If these people possessed African blood claim them and place the burden of proof, otherwise upon the Nordic The readers of this column may rest assured that when any statement is made herein concerning the ethnic relations of nations and individuals, the writer has ample evidence for the statement. Nevertheless, criticism is always welcome. George Wells Parker. THE WHATNOT COLUMN By ROBERT P. EDWARDS For The Associated Negro Press, 188. What was the Armisted Case? On the morning, in August, 1834, the United States Steamship Washington sighted a ship which flew no permits and responded to no signals, off Montauk Pt. L. I. Upon investigation, the "Washington" discovered the mystery ship to be the "Armisted" a slave, whose human cargo had revolted, taken command and, were trying to get hearings in order to return to Africa. Through the courts of the United States the owners of the slave tried to gain possession of the slaves and designated as pirates and freight, but the owners of the Supreme Court declared the owners' proceedings unlawful, which decision resulted in the slaves being returned to Africa and freed. 189. Who was Andrew Bryant? One day in 1758, a Negro slave had the temerity to call upon the citizens of Savannah, Georgia, to repent, believe and be baptized, for which he was publicly whipped. Undaunted, he continued to preach for which offenses he punished and upon being recaptured, aerialed and with renewed fervor. He was again cast into prison, his persistence fully made such an impression on civil authorities that not only left unmolested but his muses. The persistent preach Andrew Bryant, and the barn place of the first African church of Savannah. Who was 'Little Steve?' who, Little Steve was the nine few survivors of the De Deve expedition. He knocked on the coast of what is now Texas in 1528. 'Little Steve' with two other companions wandered over the plains of Texas and Mexico, finally reaching Mexico City. In 1583 he led an expedition and discovered what are now the States of Arizona and New Mexico. He was killed at Cibolla, N. M., in a bat with the Indians who have handed down to their posterity wonderful tales of the bravery of the Black Mexican with Chili pepper lips.

LABOR NOTES For the Associated Negro Press. The final advent of spring is bringing about something of a change in the labor situation and many of the unemployed are finding work. However, the major part of the work is seasonable and consists of building projects and municipal work. While the packing industry is picking up a little as is usual this time of year, the great steel industry is not showing as decided gains and for this reason there is still much unemployment. Last week a school in new orders took place, but this will have to be continued in order to make any great change. There is little likelihood that any companies will have to import labor this year. Therefore, those who are seeking advanced transportation are likely to be disappointed. Beginning with June the harvest season starts and from all indications it appears that the harvest season will be exceedingly large this year and demand many men. It is not an unwise plan for common labor to follow this line during the season which lasts about four months and then return home. They will cer- tain some money saved and be much better off. As to coming north, however, use caution and judgment. Find out where labor is needed before you leave. The whole state of Illinois, Indiana and Ohio are supplied with an overflow of, common labor and It will be, from thirty to sixty days before this surplus will be taken up. ILLINOIS NEWS CHESTER.

William Pickens Associated Press In half-musing half-serious conversation, Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, with the philosophic humor for which she is famous said: "Well, I'm just going to organize as a new race, if this one I belong to doesn't begin, to operate better." We agreed to stand ready to help to organize this new race, because a careful artificial selection would beat nature. We immediately began to list the necessary qualifications for membership in a firstclass "Brace." Somebody had spoken to Miss Burroughs about a school for, Negroes - which the school board had located on a bate, black and unsightly hill, but she remarked that, although it was mean, perhaps, to sr logate the school in the first place, yet the institution had occupied the hill long enough for the teachers to have at least started some grass growing on it. "Why grass hasn't got any prejudice," she quietly observed. For our part, we spoke for a race that will have the sense to see that no amount of prejudice can keep it from doing the best it can do for itself. The idea not be prejudiced against itself, for every race must save itself, and cannot be "some influential white fellows." We finally agreed that the best way to make a new race is not to examine and enlist a lot of unchangeable grown-ups, but to start with the mouldable, all possible babies and little children. Grown-ups are like concrete; they may be broken but cannot be reshaped. Anything may be made out of a normal baby, but not reshaping a new race is from the eligible men's伯伯hip of the next generation. Current Topics By ERNEST RICE McKINNEY Freston News Service And so after ten years service Fayette Avery McKenzie has handed his resignation to the frustres of Fisk University. This was to be expected, was inevitable and was the proper thing for Mr. McKenzie to do. Any organization should show no weakness without the necessity of calling in the police to go a disturbance, should get out and give some modern intelligent individual a chance. I do not, mean that police should not be called if there is actual riot, but I do mean that, the one at the head of the institution should have foresight, sympathy, intelligence and understanding enough to keep any such emergency from arising. I fear that Mr. McKenade fell a yelttm to the wiles of Thomas Jesse Jones and that large group of whites in the country who have" decided that the New Yorker should not too rapidly and too well. I fear, also, that he had come under the seductive influences of the Nashville Chamber of Commerce, of which trade body he was an active member. Either or both of these influences would have caused, Mr. McKenzie to act just as he is reported to have done. That is, unless he possessed a larger dose of fair-mindedness and仁民 democracy than most white men. The Negro youth of this country are rapidly learning that passivity gets one nowhere. They have experienced the fact that the meek do not inherit the earth, that the wearing of a crown in the future does not compensate for a lack of certain opportunities and advantages offered by this sordid old world today. It seems that Mr McKenzie was attempting to run a medieval university in a modern age with modern young men attending attendance. He and those who think like him must feel that the young Negro is made of different clay from the young white man or woman who seeks education in the white schools. They either feel this way or they are of the opinion that this young Negro should not have the same sort of training, experience and opportunity that the white youth have. To this group a Negro boy studying sociology or physics is supposed to arrive at a different point from that at which the white boy arrives. A Negro girl digging her way through the influences of harmony, tone color and interpretation is not supposed to end up with a desire to play only the works of Beethoven and the other masters. There will be no peace, in our colleges presided over by white men, until they dedicate themselves to the work that the Negro youth, who is ambivalent towards the arts, has the same aspirations; the same fruits, the same capacity, and the same ideals as has the white youth in college. They must be treated the same, instructed the same and inspired to the same ends. Any white man who cannot do this is a failure before he starts. It will not be long before such a man will be in difficulty with the students or faculty and his resignation will soon be on its way to the trustees. A release of mine on "Jim-Crow" schools has been attacked, "assaulted and hammered in an unsigned article the 'West Virginia' Clarken" published at Bluefield. I presume that this article was written by the editor. The gentleman in an all wrong. He says, in effect, that Jim-Crow schools are all right. "The contender in Pennsylvania between Negroes about separate schools is no concern of oirs," said this editor. This means that the welfare of Negroes in another state is no concern of the Negroes in West Virginia. I don't believe that the intelligent Negroes of West Virginia held this opinion. I don't believe that any Negro with good sense anywhere would hold to the belief that what happened to Negroes elsewhere is aside from his interest or concern. I don't believe it for reason that it is not true. What conspiracy Negroes in Pennsylvania concerns Negroes in every other state, and vice versa. All thinking Negroes know this, these important days. For the others there are night schools, books, magazines and lecture programs. After this lapse the editor brings in something into the discussion that I never said or did. He says, "but when Mr. McKenney makes a thrust at Negroes from the South and brands all who foster separate schools as fools, innocents and scoundrels. . . . I made no thrust at Negroes from the South nor did I brand them all as fools. I made no thrust at Negroes. Did say—"The innocents abhor are Negroes from the South who have been used to separate schools and who don't feel right without 'schools of our own'." And I say again, with stronger emphasis if possible, that this agitation for Jim-Crow schools is 'fostered in the North by Negroes from the South, ablaze without malice, aforethought, and northern Negroes, who have daughters for whom they want wives and scoundrels of the North who want wives and scoundrels of the world of Education, who want to get home some parity school graft or district school policies. "The editor further suggests that my distribution of "weekly prattle" to Negro papers is a jim-crow proposition. He asks why McKinney does not contend for distribution of his "superior wisdom by the white papers"? I don't feel that this question of the late and confused editor calls for any comment whatever. However, it needs to be said that even though the West Virginia Clarion may be a jim-crow proposition I do not feel that the other Negro editors look at their papers in such light. The editor's definition of himself and his publication. Later on in his trade and with full beat ahead, the editor asks permission of the brethren of the Founta Estate" to call me a damn tool. He says that, in his state they have separate schools and many other things that Negroes of the North would do well to possess. "It is interesting to note that this editor does not liscuss the question of separate schools or mixed schools at all. He only discusses McKinney. In no instance does he give the readers, who pay for books and opinion of his paper, any information about the lightning them or one line of information about schools and educational systems. He does not quote from my article and give them a chance to judge for themselves. He simply stages a burlesque show and proxies that my classification was correct—at least for a part of our group—oak; innocents, secondrads. JURY'S EXONERATION OF OFFICER WHO KILLED NEGRO STIRS CAPITAL JURY'S EXONERATION OF OFFICER WHO KILLED NEGRO STIRS CAPITAL WASHINGTON, D. . . May 6.—Several colored civic organizations of this city and the branch branch of the N. A. A. C. P. have asked for the removal of Patrolman Walt Sonkeld, who was exonerated by a coroner's jury last week in the killing of Raymond Milberry, a 127-year-old Negro of this city, whom he sought to arrest. The family of the deceased has also started prosecution proceedings. Milberry, who is the second Negro death victim of Officer Salkeld within two months, according to the testimony of witnesses, was affronted by two police quite suddenly and when he attempted to question what to an automobile, was jerked roughly to an automobile, Salkeld drew his revolver and shot him three times, when he showed sigas of resistance. Milberry died almost instantaneously from the wounds inflicted. The exoneration of Patrolman Salkeld, in spite of the testimony which proved that he needlessly shot Milberry whom he was taking in as a suspect on the minor offense of gambling, and also that he showed an interest in the time of the shooting, has brought to proceedings to place the case before a grand jury. Attorney Benjamin L. Gaskins and John H. Wilson have been secured by the family of the deceased to prosecute the case. The Walker Post of the American Legion of which Milberry was a 'member', is also watching the case with great interest. Milberry was a World War Veteran. He participated in many bloody engagements in France, including famous offenses of the American troops at Argonne and Verdun. COHEN SAYS STORIES DO NOT PORTRAY 1925 NEGRO NEW YORK, May 6—In repsonses to the avalanche of criticisms that have been flooding his news in regards to his characterization of the colored American in his short stories, Octavus R. Cohen, white of Birmingham. Ala., declared in a public statement that he only attempted to deal with the type of Negro that he knew, and not with the Negro as a whole. "What some Negroes in the North who are cultured do not understand is that I am writing about only one type of the race," Mr. Cohen said recently at Hotel Pennsylvania in speaking of his stories. "My tales are concerned with the African Negroes in the South, who are the descendants of the African in the happiest of their faces on the faces of the globe and their sorrow, far from being filled with sorrow, are 'extrremely happy through out, unless they have sickness or death with which to contend." "The cultured Negro is quite right when he says my stories do not portray this feeling. The more subtle Negro who goes to college, and whom members of the white race are most apt to meet, is a different individual altogether. This type of Negro quite often have characteristics entirely foreign to Southern Negro, but I have never precluded to write about the whole Negro race. "It is funny, but my Negro stories seem to be the only variety that is well known. I have written severer white love stories for a half dozen magazines, but people never speak of them." DENVER, Colo. May 6.—There is one 100 per cent branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in the United States. It is located in the town of Alamosa, Colorado, where there are 24 colored citizens, every one of whom has joined the local N. A. A.-C. P. branch. Not content, with enlisting every colored citizen of the town, the branch is now*going after American whites and Mexicans. The Secretary of the 100 per cent branch of the N. A. A. C. P. in the United States, is Emma Qualls. NEW YORK MASONS SEVER BONDS WITH BELGIANS NEW YORK, May 6—The Grand Lodge of Masons of New York has severed relations with the Grand Orient of Belgium because Belgium lodges have abolished the requirements of belief in God.

He has also been requested to furnish a colored crew of waiters for the ship. NEGROES SHOW LOYALTY IN SUPPORTING SCHOOL NEGROES SHOW LOYALTY IN SUPPORTING SCHOOL HAMPTON, Va., May 6—The loyalty of the Race in supporting its institutions has been manifested in the victory of the arqr Harampton and Taukeeger Institutes, which has passed to James E. Gregg, president of Hampton, the Negroes of the United States have raised $150,000 towards the endowment fund, which has passed the $4,000,000 mark. He cited that though the Negroes compose only ten per cent of the country's population and possess only one per cent of its wealth, they have given five per cent of the money received by the endowment funds thus far. TULSA, Okla. May 6.—An ingenuious method of raising bills was discovered here, and four colored men arrested and held on $5,000'ball on a charge of counterfeiting. It was charged that the men took ten dollar bills, clipped off each of them, and not pasted them on one dollar bills. One dollar bills look like ten dollar currency. They would then take the original ten dollar bills and pass them as partly mutilated. "CAMPAIGN FOR JUSTICE FOR NEGRO PROGRESSES" Preston News Service NEWARK, N. J., May 6—In an editorial under the above caption the Newark, N. J. Evening News has the following to say: "There has come a notable dilution in the crime of lynching. The annual report of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People gives the figures telling the story. Last year there were only sixteen lynchings in the United States as against twenty-eight in 1923, sixty-one in 1922, sixty-one in 1921, and sixty-five in 1920. For the thirty years prior to 1919 the average number of lynchings per year was 107. "During the past year the Government took up the cases of fifty-five members of the Twenty-Fourth United States Infantry sent to Leavenworth for life or for long teams in 1917 as a result of rioting at Houston, Texas, during the war, for which time nineteen of their fellows were hanged by the military authorities. In every case the terms of these men were reduced after an investigation, twenty of them were released last year, and the last of these prisoners will be given freedom in 1928. There was also last year the case of a member of the National Guard of Alabama who, was convicted of second degree murder for participation in a tyrchling and was sentenced to serve eighteen years in the penitentiary. In many cases of an attack, punching it is recorded that sheriffs have taken their prisoners for safa keeping and others the local National Guard unit has been ordered out by the Governor. Perhaps race prejudice has not been altered in any degree in the past five years, but it is apparent from the figures that the Negro is getting more in the way of justice than was the case when mob violence was frequently in evidence. N. E. BAPTISTS TO RAISE $25,000 FOR SCHOOL NEW YORK, May 6—At a recent meeting of the program committee of the New England Baptist Missionary Convention, of which Rev. J. C.

J. Five churches pledged $1,000, payable in five yearly installments: Union, Hartford, Conn.; Holy Trinity, Brooklyn; Union, New York; Walker Memorial, New York, and Union; Montclair. Other pledges brought the total to $6,110.
