EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE SCORES VICE-PRES DAWES An Exponent Of Truth and Justice A Square Deal For Every Man Says "Hell Maria" Man Is Showing "White Feather" In Deserting Once Bold Stand For Changes In The Senate's Rules. It Looks Like Laying Down To The South, Is Statement Made In Letter. BOSTON, Mass., July 6.—The National Equal Rights League has sent an "open letter" to Vice-President Charles Dawes taking exception to his announced willingness to give up his reform on Senate rules for such measures as the Dyer anti-lynch bill and each as the South claimed invaded States rights. The league asks whether General Dawes represents Republican policies and whether his anti-lynch bill is simply bait. The letter is as follows: The Letter to Dawes Dear Sir--The colored citizens of the country, who have hailed with hope your efforts to reform the archaic and obstructive rules of the United States Senate, whereby a very small minority may prevent a vote on any or all measures, and who have been encouraged by your able and firm rebuttal to all objections raised, are stunned by your complete surrender of your principles when it come to the sectional objections raised by Southern Democratic Senators. "Colored Americans have been the chief sufferers from these ancient Senate rules since the time when their soldiers had been an indispensable factor in saving the country from the South's rebellion even until now. Nearly every measure proposed in Congress to provide enforcement of their civil and political rights has been defeated either by the Senate rules, or with the Southern Democratic threat to fillibuster under them given as the Republican excuse for not securing constitutional rights and protection to our race. Gave Colored People Hope "When your crusade began the colored people, already discouraged over the failure of recent Republican administrations to repair the damage wrought by two terms of the Southern Democracy, and by the flat renderer of the Senate to the fillibuster of the Southern Democratic Senators on the Lincoln-Lynch bill, began to go hope, that a better day was dawning under Republican rule. For with the rules changed there would be a chance to pass, if not measures to stop peonage, segregation in federal carriers, and disfranchisement, at least the bill to make-lynching a federal crime. "I imagine the race's amazement when reading in the newspapers that in your address this week at Manchester, N. H., you cited the argument of these Southern Democratic Senators that the present rules had prevented the passage of such measures as the Lodge bill for federal protection of the ballot and this same Dyer anti-lynching bill and then agreed that the present rules should be retained for all measures, which the white South as represented in the Senate held to be contrary to their view of State rights. 'Says Dawes has Flopped' "If you have been correctly reported, gone off to believe in your consistency in your loyalty to colored Republicanians, in your friendliness to the race, and blasted are all our hopes for passage ever of any federal anti-lynching bill, with so high a Republican official, so responsible a Republican leader, excepting from reform of the rules all measures to guarantee Constitutional, rights to colored citizens in the South, or even protection from lynchings." "Colored Americans now call upon you to state frankly whether your desertion of your reforms and surender to your principles of remedy when the Democratic South raises the cry of 'States Rights.' under which they specifically include federal legislation against lynching, indicate Republican policy and means that the party does not intend to sincerely attempt to pass any law to restore constitutional rights or protection for colored citizens in the South, not even an anti-lynching bill but to hide behind the excuse of Southern filibuster. "The National Equal Rights League in behalf of Colored America, asks General Dawes, whether you are feeling us that the Dyer bill is simply a political hoax, and doing so just when dread lynch law strides from the South far up the Mississippi river, blow torture, and the driving of a spike through the neck of a human being into a stake. We await your reply. "Yours for constitutional rights, William Monroe Trotter, Secretary." FOUR NEARLY HANGED FREED AT NEW TRIAL By the Associated Negro Press. JACKSON, Miss. July 8—Once convicted of murder and sentenced to be hanged, by the Mississippi courts and granted a new trial by the supreme court, four members of our group, including Mardis, a white stovekeeper at Smith Station, were acquitted here Monday.

DENYER, Colo., June 8.—The Sixteenth Annual Session of the National Association for the Advancement of Color People, which closed in this city last week, eclipsed any meeting that the organization has ever held, according to all reports leading national characters of both races aided in making it a triumphant success. Three hundred delegates from twenty-eight different states registered for the meeting whose public sessions, it is estimated, 5000 persons attended. Sessions Filed With Action The program for each day's session of the sixday meeting was crowded with activities; which were outstanding men and women the day, business and entertainment. The chief events of the six days were an following Wednesday, June 27th. The session was held at the Zion Baptist Church at East 24th and Oden Sts. Speakers on the occasion were: Mayor Stanleyon, who delivered the welcome address and started the meeting off in a fitting spirit by busing the keynote of his speech on the words: "It will be a good thing for America when public officials can no longer give favors to one person that they would not give to any other." George W. Gross, president of the Denver Branch; and James Weldon Johnson, who declared, "What we are striving for is right, if we succeed it will be well for America; if we fail it means the failure of the democracy of America." Messages of good will were read from President Coolidge/Moorfield Storey, Rob. Bagnall, Senator Lawrence C. Philips, J. E. Spingarin, Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune and A. Baxter Whitley. Many Noted Participants At the following session of the meeting the persons who took prominent parts were: Charles Edward Russell, author and one of the founders of the N. A. A. C. P.; Rev. A.

One of these directed to the attention of President Coolidge and the secretary of state, charged that "the independent and sovereign republic of Haiti is still occupied, in defiance of international law, by American troops," and asked that the troops be withdrawn and the country restored to its people." The resolution charged that "under the military power of the United States the constitution of Haiti has been destroyed and a new one substituted," that American capital seeking admittance which were the old constitution have made their desired investments and that American corporations are now "prosperously installed in the subjugated country." A second resolution noted "with disgust and resentment, the attempt of Gen. Robert Lee Bullard of Alabama to defame and discredit the men of the 92nd Division (colored) of the American Expeditionary forces in France." A third of the resolutions called on the association to commemorate the birthdays of leaders in the abolition movement. Another resolution expressed sympathy at the stricken city of Santa Barbara, Calif., a city with a colored population of 500, and the home of one of the branches of the association. The annual Madame Walker medal of merit was awarded Tuesday night to Mrs. Carrie Shepperson of Little Rock, Ark. This medal is awarded to the woman of the Negro race who has done most for the interests of the colored people.

In New Lily White Republican Party. NEW ORLEANS, July 8.—The newest channel for a segregation in the State of Louisiana is a so-called Lily White Republican Party, which excludes all Negroes from its ranks. A committee of 8 men was appointed to perfect plans for the new organization, which has within its ranks former scouts of the colors, Republicans, Klan sympathizers and registered Democrats, Wm. C. Harder, the organizer, belonging to the latter class. Tells About Lily whites Seventy-five men were present at the organization of the exclusive white man's Republican party last week. Louisiana in a "speech warned against the name "white party" as he knew the National Republican Committee would not recognize a faction that excludes Negro voters. He explained that a Lily white party, of which he was formerly a member, always put a "darky" on their delegation to the National Conventions, although they excluded Negroes in ward and district meetings. Klan Buildings F. J. Glasser, an internal revenue agent, downed the statement that there were no Republican clubs in New Orleans by announcing that he was the organizer of a club of 200 white men in the ninth ward who were sponsored by the Ku Klux Klan. DENIED A PERMIT TO STAGE ANTI-KLAN MEET IN NATIONAL CAPITAL N. J. Presacher Wanted To Talk On 100 Per Cent Americanism, Is Barred An Unlawful. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 8.—The request for a permit to hold a peaceful anti-klan benchistration" on Washington Monument grounds on August 25 has been denied Rev. Geck H. Lawson of Keyport, N. J., by Lieut. Col. Clarence O. Sherrill, Director of Public Buildings and Public Parks in Washington. Attho a permit has been granted for the holding of a mammoth Klan parade thru the principal thoroughfares of the city on August 8. Talk on Americanism The letter asking for the permission of the anti-klan meeting read as follows: "Will you kindly grant me the permit for a peaceful anti-klan gathering at the Washington Monument, August 15, 1925. "Many religious and fraternal organisations desire to hear an ad-venture subject of 100 per cent Americanism. I have held many such meetings in New Jersey, attended by vast-throngs of people. "Thanking you in advance, yours very truly, GEORGE LAWSON. "Anti-klan candidate for Governor of New Jersey." Considered Political Director Sherrill in answering the letter in the negative, stated that he classed the proposed meeting as a political meeting, and as such is prohibited by section 3 of article 7 of the regulations for the government of the parks, which reads as follows: "The making of any barrage or public speech or the uttering of loud threatening abusive or profane language is prohibited." YOUNG COLORED LAWYER SENSATION OF OHIO BAR CLEVELAND, O. July 8. A sensation of the Ohio bar during the April term of court, which just closed, has been the work of Assistant County Prosecuting Attorney Selmo C. Glenn, colored, of this city. The young attorney was successful in winning decisions in a number of major cases while acting as clean-up man for the April term of court. Representing the state in the trial of two white men accused of murder, conviction, and a sentence of six months in prison and a fine of $200 and cost. He convicted Siris, a white man, of having embezzled a woman out of $2000 under the pretense of being an attorney. Other convictions were won on an assault to kill charge and a grand larceny charge. SEIZE STAR SHIP OF BLACK CROSS LINE NEW YORK, July 8.—The "General G. W. Goethals" steamship No. 1, of the Black Cross Navigation Line, sister ship to the S. S. Booker T. Washington, has been seized here and is being held pending the outcome of a sult-fled in the New York Supreme Court against it owner by Sampel Schinloch for the settlement of a $1,000 debt. Clifford S. Bourne, vice president of the Navigation Company, avers that there was a mistake, that the loan made October last had been paid, while Schinloch contends that he has papers to show the debt has never been paid. The trial is slated to come up in the courts at an early date. KLAN SPIRIT IS TAUGHT TO THE CHILDREN White Children Taught Race Hatred Against Negroes, Jews And Catholics Who Are Frequently Made Targets Of Assault In Every Klan Stronghold DENVER. July 6—Judge Ben B. Lindsey, of the Denxer Juvenile and Family Court, speaking at the Monday night meeting of the National Association for the Advancement of All Orphaned People, in Zion Baptist Church, asserted that complaints had been filed in his court by parents and teachers whose children had been assaulted because they were Catholics or Jews. Judge Lindsey said in part: "We have had complaints from parents and teachers in our court in Denver of assaults upon white children because they were Catholic or Jews. These assaults have been just as unreasonable, unChristian and violent as they ever were upon people just because God's sunshine and climate made their skins black instead of white. "It is of uncommon to receive reports of hostility among children in this, and no doubt, other Klan-ridden communities, all because their differences in religion and because these innocent children are poisoned with the idea that, they are better than others and that socially, Catholic and Jewish children are not any more fit to be their companions than colored child n. "One of the many lessons we are to learn from the Ku Klux Klan is that the white man is becoming a common sufferer with the colored man because of intolerance and injustice to the Negro. If the Negro can be beaten, then institutional rights, may not the same thing be done to the white man? Thus this phenomenon of the Klan, even though it be a phase and a passing phase, is nevertheless one of the penalties upon the sins of all of us in an all to heedless disregard of the rights of men whose color differs from ours. "Colored men, equally children of the same Father, are coming nearer and nearer to real kinship with their white brethren. Their patience, their forbearance, their forgiveness and their Christian attitude towards opression and ostracism, are bringing about a greater victory and a surer relief in the end from their bondage than could possibly come from any action that involved either force, violence or hate. These outlawed weapons of the past are being revived again in the modern inquisitions of the Ku Klux Klan." Judge Lindsey expressed the conviction that the Klan could not endure, and quoted Abraham Lincoln's opposition to a similar movement, the Know-Nothing Party. TEACHERS AT LINCOLN U.

WILLIAMS LOSES STATE JOB, IS RUMOR Ousted From Food Inspectorship After An Alleged "Bawling Out" From Governor, Who Accused Him Of Playing Double Was Branded By Own People As Traitor To His Race It has been learned here that C. G. Williams, of Jefferson City, recently appointed Food Inspector, at a salary of $240,000, per year, has been separated from the State's pay roll, very much to his displeasure. Definite information relating to this matter could not be bead at the office of the Food and Drug Department at Jefferson City, except that the Department had found a necessary to reenchment of expense, but when asked why C. G. was held off a clerk said: "See the boss." The boss was out of the city. There was much speculation in St. Louis, as well as in Jefferson City, as to why "C. G." had lost his job so soon, he having been appointed only a short time ago. Some said he was ill, while others insist that he has gotten "in bad" with Governor Baker, because he had been appointed only a short time ago. His "Good Man Friday" had misrepresented things to his honor with reference to the attitude of the Colored people of the state. This suggestion is strengthened by a rumor that was affloft recently that the governor, following the Lincoln University controversy, called in "C. G." and gave the latter a severe rebuke for what was said to be "Playing Double" with the governor. As little could be learned of this incident at the time it soon passed, the facts of the past public, but now that Williams has been let-out, the public is inclined to believe the whole story. Efforts to reach Williams over the phone for a statement were of no avail hence no statement from him is available for publication at this time. The general impression however, is that he has been "temporarily laid off." It will be remembered that C. G. Williams acted as campaign manager for Gov. Baker, among the Colored people of the state, to prove the power of election. Williams became the governor's "Good Man Friday" in the language of those who disapproved of his Uncle Tom methods in advising the governor on issues affecting the Colored people of the State. Things went well in the Baker Williams camp until the Lincoln University controversy came up. It is said that Williams was the chief offender, or the master mind in a scheme to put the school back into politics at all cost, that the jobs of that institution might be available to sell and bargain to people regardless of their fitness to fill the position. This of course brought down a barrage of righteous indignation from the loyal, interested people of the state, not only in condemnation of Williams, but the governor himself. Being a member of the Board of Curators, of Lincoln University, the people styled, Williams was a "Traitor to His Race." He was constantly accused of play-double. He would sometimes stand by the school and in the next breath he would say: "I am with the Governor." Thus he brought down himself the condemnation of his people all over the state, became a judge, and eyes the eyes of people, his name in the ears of many children was synonymous with that of Benedict Arnold. His leadership in the state was lost. The state officials saw his usefulness no doubt, was at an end. Hence, he loses a $24000 a year job, for which it has been said, he sold his race. KLAN SEEKS TO SPREAD PROPAGANDA VIA RADIO Preston News Service WASHINGTON, D.C. C., July 8—information is laid to have come out of the Department of Commerce that the Ku Klux Klan is among the organizations seeking broadcasting licenses from the department when and if additional wave bands are provided this fall. It is reported that about a year ago extensive plans for a system of stations throughout the country were under consideration by the Klan officials, but the difficulty of obtaining wave lengths caused temporary abandonment of the project. Recently the matter has again been brought forth the Klan with several of the higher officials to meet the request. Among possible homes for the klan broadcasting stations are New Jersey, Texas, Indiana, and practically all of the southern states. It is said that the klan chain of stations, if the plan for its installation is consummated, would be unique in the United States broadcasting field. It is pointed out that a number of organizations throughout the country maintain a single broadcasting station at their headquarters, no body of this nature has ever considered a group of stations that would cover all or most of the United States. It is noted that the klan is about the only organization sufficiently fanned. NEW PHONE NUMBER CENTRAL 4620 SAVES LIVES OF MANY IN EARTHQUAKE Negro Hotel Employee Brings Guests To Safety, When Fashionable Arlington Is Wrecked LOS ANGELES, Calif., July 8.—While the story of the' disastrous earthquake which wrecked the town of Santa Harbara, taking a toll of many lives and causing millions of dollars in damages, was being broad, cast throughout the country last week, little was said of the heroism of a colored porter, James Horton, 22, who saved the lives of nearly a score of persons in the destruction of the exclusive Arlington Hotel. Risked Life The young man was on duty at the Arlington when the attack occurred. The building crumpled under the severe shock burying many of its inmates and trapping others beneath hanging and loose debris. Horton rushed up the crumbling stairs and brought down guest after guest from the upper floors of the building, while particles of the structure continued to give way and fall all around him. He picked up one woman who had been stunned and hastened from a room with her scarcely a moment before its walls caved in. He leapt through the air and was Mara Hazel of Titus, a wealthy resident of Los Angeles. In the debris and wreckage of the Arlington, Horton found the lifeless form of Bertram Hancock, the only son of a Los Angeles millionaire. Although little mention of Horton's bravery was made by the press, he received the praise of those who dwell in the wrecked district and is said to have been handsomely rewarded. GIRL NINE IS HEROINE IN SAVING FAST TRAIN HAGERSTOWN, Md., July 8—The brave act of a little colored school girl, Esther Hill, barely nine years of age saved a fast Baltimore and Ohio train, carrying 60 passengers, from wrecking and going over a steep embankment about 15 miles southwest of this city last week. Esther was going on a chore for her mother when she discovered a giant tree lying across the railroad tracks where it had fallen during a storm. At the same time she heard the whistle of an oncoming trains, which was hidden from view by a fence. The engineer meditated rushed down the middle of the tracks, waving a basket she carried. The engineer saw her as he rounded the curve and applied the brakes, bringing his train to a stop a few yards from the fallen tree. The passengers and train crew rushed to the front as soon as the train, stopped to find out what the trouble was. Little Esther eagerly watched the train whereupon the crowd caressed and thanked the little heroine who had been their savior, bestowing money and goodies on her in unabating quantities. CITY BONDSMEN WHO ARE NOT ELIGIBLE ,REPORTED TO JUDGES AND CAPTAINS First Assistant Circuit Attorney Wilson yesterday submitted a list of names to the Judges of the Circuit Court, the Courts of Criminal Correction and Police Courts of persons who are not now regarded as being eligible to sign bonds, calling attention to the fact that there are now outstanding approximately $54,000 in forfeited bail bonds which have been reduced to judgments.

A. Morant, $800; Henry West, two bonds, $1000 and against Claude Anderson, $1,000.

Forgiveness of injuries Tell us, ye men who are so jealous of right and honor, who take sudden fire at every insult, and suffer the slightest imagination of another's contempt, or another's unfairness, to chase from your bosom every feeling of complacency; ye men, whom every fancied affront puts into such a turbulence of emotion, and in every fancied infringement stirs up the desire for blows in preference to forgiveness—what good you expect to reach with that kind-of an attitude. Is it not an unwritten truth that man's progress depends upon friendship and aid from others? I have off-heard a line quoted which says: "United we stand, divided we fall," and it is generally understood that one who possesses an arrogant, unscrupulous manner is seldom, if ever, desired as a friend. All men are subject to mistakes and false-talking and when our friends or our enemies misrepresent us it is not our duty to strike a fatal blow on him, but ignore his sayings unless they may be correctly struck do not get the conception that you must take "an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth." Make such actions show the ignorance and lack of self-control of your fellow-being and make your intelligence shine by forgiving him of his injuries. Bear in mind the words of Shakespeare when he wrote: Grand Opening Of Church At Cook And Spring Aves. The passing of historic old Sergeus Memorial M. E. Church into the hands of a colored congregation, marks one of the many large real estate transactions completed by our people. This church located at Cook and Spring Aves., which has stood for years as one of the land marks for white aristocracy of St. Louis, will be formally opened as a mission of Lane Tabernacle on Sunday, July 12. The acquisition of this most valuable property, for the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church in St. Louis, is but a faint expression of the anxiety of the pastor and officials of Lane Tabernacle to make St. Louis the mecca of Methodism and the haven for all Christians. Opening exercises will begin Sunday, July 12, and continue throughout the week including Sunday the 19th. The opening sermon on Sunday morning will be preached by Bishop R. A. Carter of Chicago, presiding Bishop of the St. Louis District and at 8 p. n., Bishop N. C. Cleaves, our resident Bishop will preach. At both these services Rev. H. W. Evans, Chief Sponsor of the project, will preside. The public is cordially invited to attend all these services. Quite a few Bishop and general officers will be in attendance and the sermons preached and addresses delivered by them will be both inspiring and helpful.

THANKS FROM OLD FOLKS' HOME The Board of Managers of the Colored Old Folks Home tenders thanks to the many friends who attended its anniversary on the 14th of June. While the receipts for the day were not as large as we expected, we are glad to report the sum of $162.58 taken in; expenses $71.55; on hand $91.13, for which we return many thanks. We are also very thankful to the West Belle Y. W. C. A. Chapter for the donation of six beautiful dining room chairs and to Troops 196 and 213 Boy Scouts of Tabernacle Baptist church, Mr. Sidney Green, Scout Master for neckties donated to the male inmates on Father's Day. Sunday, June 25, was truly a gala day for the old folks. The Help and Mercy Department of Lane Tabernacle Church with A. Brown, President and Mrs. G. Burt, Secretary, came with a splendid company of young people, male and female, and rendered a beautiful program, after which they held a social hour and served refreshments, consisting of ice cream, cake, fruit and candy. The inmates were delighted and are saying, "I wonder when they will come, again." July 2, the Stewardess and Deaconess Council held its annual outing on the lawn of the Old Folks Home. After a beautiful service of song and prayer, the tables were spread on the lawn and the inmates of the Home were the guests of the afternoon. It was truly a feast of good things. We return many thanks to the public for such kindness. Mrs. Ferrier Harris, President; Mrs. Clair James, Secretary.

SPICE OF LIFE His Last Request "Pat," said the Priest. "You're drunk and I'm going to make you stay right here. If you ever get drunk again, I'll turn you into a rat--do you mind that? If I don't see you I'll know about it just the same, and into a rat you'll go; how mind that!?" Pat was very docile that night but the next evening he came home even more drunk than ever, kicked in the door, and Bliddy (his wife) dodged behind the table to defend herself. "Don't be afraid darlink," said Pat as he steadied himself before dropping into a chair. "I'm not gain' to hate ye. I won't lay the weight of me finger on ye. I want ye to be kind to me tonight, darlink and remember the days when we was swathearts and when ye loved me. You know his reverence said last night if I got drunk again he'd turn me into a rat. He didn't see me but he knows I am drunk, and this night into a rat I go. But I want yet to be kid' to me, and when ye see me gettin' little and the hair growin' on me, and my whiskers gettin' long, if you ever loved me, darlink, for God's sake keep an eye on the cat. —Kewpie Bessie Richardson (A 100 per cent.

His friends, whom he has made during his many years service in the department regretted to see him go. Mr. Laxton and Mr. Dirklaus, whom he worked for, express themselves as being sorry, to lose him, each giving him a letter of reference, which stated that after regaining his health if he cared to return home, his job would be open to him. Charley Baker's interest in the game has always been for his people. He will be on the jury in his present at the next election. A FRIEND. MR. CHAS. CREATH (HIMSELF) WILL PERSONALLY DIRECT HIS Wonderful Orchestra "NUFF SED" given to Lorotta E. Owens, the editor of the Junior Ideas. I am not, as many Kewpies have expected, and expressed, an old lady, but rather a young girl of nearly seventeen summers.

July 8 - At a meeting of the Committee on Faculty and Curriculum of the Negro institutions of the Methodist Episcopal Church just held, there were added many additional professors to the faculties. Many young men who have taken postgraduate work and received their Masters Degrees are among the additions. The alumni and friends are getting back of their schools. At recent commencements for Rust College, Holly Springs, Miss.; Philander Smith College, Little Rock, Ark.; Wiley College, Marshall, Tex.; Samuel Houston College, Austin, Texas; twenty thousand dollars were pledged for endowment. This is just in advance subscriptions. The formal cam-paign will be later. Secretary L. Garland Penn reports that Wiley College had three hundred students, for the scholastic year, 1924-25, while Samuel Houston had one hundred and fifty, Clark University, one hundred and ten. The total enrollment of college students for all the schools of the system has been doubled in five years. The students of some of the schools raised since January first a total of ten thousand dollars for additions to libraries. GOES ON ROOF TO ESCAPE HEAT, IS KILLED IN FALL Miss Maud Colb, 26, who has lived in this city for the past twenty years, died last Monday from injuries received when she fell from the roof of a one story building. The fatal accident occurred when Miss Colb and a companion sought relief from the oppressive heat on the roof of the building next to the dwelling where she lived at 2200 Pine street. The former was scaled near the edge of the building chatting with her friend when she suddenly seemed to have lost her balance, and fell from the roof to the pavement below. She was kicked up in an unconscious state and rushed to the city hospital, where she died from a broken neck and fractured skull without regaining consciousness.

The report is to be made not later than fourteen days before the estimated date of release, so that the State Department of Public Health may "take necessary measures to protect others from such infection." It has been generally accepted by the various states, says the U. S. Public Health Service, that provision should be made for the medical examination, care and treatment of venereally afflicted inmates of state institutions, and that such examination, care and treatment are usually provided. The Maine amendment, requiring the report of infectious cases before their release, is a significant venereal disease control measure. Marriage and Social Diseases A recent report of the Vienna Marriage Consultation Bureau, a subdepartment of the municipal public health service, shows that 18.7 per cent of the persons applying to the Bureau for information and advice are infected with a venereal disease. The Bureau upon recent completion of two years of evidently successful service is of the opinion that the value of the service rendered by it is in the dissemination of proper information concerning venereal diseases and the serious danger of marriage in such cases. In the United States, according to the U. S. Public Health Service, seven states require a medical certificate before marriage and fourteen states, while without such a requirement, have laws which aim to prevent venereal disease infection through marriage.

The report is to be made not later than fourteen days before the estimated date of release, so that the State Department of Public Health may "take necessary measures to protect others from such infection." It has been generally accepted by the various states, says the U. S. Public Health Service, that provision should be made for the medical examination, care and treatment of venereally afflicted inmates of state institutions, and that such examination, care and treatment are usually provided. The Maine amendment, requiring the report of infectious cases before their release, is a significant venereal disease control measure. Marriage and Social Diseases A recent report of the Vienna Marriage Consultation Bureau, a subdepartment of the municipal public health service, shows that 18.7 percent of the persons applying to the Bureau for information and advice are infected with a venereal disease. The Bureau upon recent completion of two years of evidently successful service is of the opinion that the value of the service rendered by it is in the dissemination of proper information concerning venereal diseases and the serious danger of marriage in such cases. In the United States, according to the U. S. Public Health Service, seven states require a medical certificate before marriage and fourteen states, while without such a requirement, have laws which aim to prevent venereal disease infection through marriage.

Regiment, known in France among the combat units as the Hell Fighters; fearlessly, loyalty and bravely these valiant soldiers moved out across "No Man's Land" into the strongholds of the enemy, in the face of stubborn resistance, deadly machine gun fire, poisonous gases, artillery barrages and the many other death dealing devices, although the casualties were heavy, the hardship and exposure indescribable, they reached every objective, and accomplished every mission assigned them, in a manner that should claim the esteem and admiration of each and every one, not excluding the Hon. Major General Bullard. Calvin Hyde was severely wounded by a h. E. shell, 11:00 a.m., July 14, 1918 and died the same date at 11 p. m., ib. a Field Hospital in the Marine Sector France, and all members of the American Legion Post named in his honor are urged and requested to be present Wednesday, July 15, 8 p. m., at 2338 Market St. at a special meeting where plans will be perfected in order that a suitable Memorial service may be held, and thereby show that we still honor and respect his memory as well as the many, others who made the supreme sacrifice.

C., July 8—Representing the colored college students of the country, Miss Bernice Chism, a senior at Howard University, went through a conference gathering of undergraduates from the country's leading institutions of higher learning, which came to a conclusion last week, in a blaze of glory. The annual meeting, known as the Conference, on "Uses and Abuses of College Papers" handles problems of collegiate and national life.

July 5.—As a climax to a bitter legal battle between the "Whitehaw" Apartment House Company (colored) and certain former officers on one side and a group of stockholders on the other, the former two were ordered to give a good and complete account of the financial standing of the concern. The suit against one of the Capitol's largest Negro businesses, arose over an accounting which was declared, Privileous, fraudulent, imprudent, evasive and misinforming. The alleged felony account was filed June 15. The income of the concern was given as $455,077.96 from September, 1917 to June, 1925. Among the disbursements were listed: $13,846.60 on stock subscription; $18,600.50 on missions on homes; $27,343.88 for salaries and $6,221.02 was unaccounted for. Attorneys for the defense, Johnson and Harris, argued that although the authorized capital of the company was only $20,000, the concern had received $138,466.29 for capital stock sold. They also charged that the defendant concealed the identity of persons who received $18,107 in commissions. INGRATE SERIOUSLY WOUNDS BENEFACTOR --- LOUISVILLE. Ky. July 8—George Phillips, a 22-year-old youth, is behind the bars facing a life sentence following a felonious attack, which resulted in the serious wounding of William Jones, 50, who had picked him up as an outcast and sheltered and cared for him. Phillip's disreputable character had caused him to be spurned by even his relatives, but Jones, hoping to save the young man from ruin, took him into his home. The youth had been with his benefactor for three years, when he was angered by a severe reprimanding that his foster father gave him about his misconduct. He secured a pistol and shot Jones twice. The wounded man lost his eyesight, and was pronounced in a critical condition. Jones was captured and confined in prison to await the outcome of his victim's wounds. Police Doings AND DIES IN 20 FEET FALL Seeking relief from the oppressive heat early last Monday night, Mabel Cobb, 26, went to the roof of the house, 2000. Ping boulevard, where she roomed.

Daniel Austin, 47 years old, a neighbor of Holz, collapsed at his home following a chase of the man who is said to have annoyed the girl. He died before a physician could be called. Death was attributed to too much exertion and heart disease. Smart pleaded the charges. FRANK BROWN GIVEN LIFE FOR SLAYING CHINAMAN Life imprisonment in the Penitentiary is the price which Frank Brown 15 must pay for life murder of a Chinaman here March 18 last in a quarrel over duck eggs which Brown had eaten and could not pay for. The sentence was imposed on Brown by Circuit Judge Mly in Division No. 10 of the Criminal Courts Monday, when Brown withdrew his former plan of not guilty and plued guilty to murder in the first degree. Brown, who formerly lived at 2152 Division street, was charged with killing Len Low, 45, a restaurant proprietor of 1453½ Biddle Street. At the Coroner's request a few days later he admitted shooting Loss, and in a complete confession made on the witness stand related the entire story. He had been drinking, he said, and entered Low's establishment about 10 o'clock on that night to get something to eat. After borrowing all that he could from two acquaintances, he ordered duck eggs. When their generosity failed him he went to the home of a friend and getting a pistol, returned to Low's restaurant. He ordered more food, and not having the money to pay for it commanded Low to throw up his hands. When Low refused and started to back away he shot him, he stated. Brown changed his plea to guilty just as the work of impanelling a jury was to begin.

By the Associated Negro Press NEW YORK July 8—New York is engaged in the greatest political contest it has had in many years, that of Mayor of the big city. But it is more. It is a fight for leadership, local and national. Colored America is wound into it as it has never been wound into any political contest ever held in this, or any other city, and on the outcome many things will depend. Mayor Hylan is a candidate to succeed himself, for third term. This seldom happens in New York. Gov Smith is opposed to Hylan and is on the job, bag and baggage to tell all about it. Tammany, the most powerful political machine in America, is not taking kindly to the Hylan candidacy as an organization. Mayor Hylan declares that a private poll discloses that 71 per cent. of the vote is for him. Perhaps as go things political betimes, they are leading him to the slaughter. William Randolph Hearst and his manmoth publicity organization, are again with Hylan; and so is Senator Copeland, Democrat, Methodist and friendly to ideas of racial justice. Democratic New York has 'done more, politically, for Colored Americans than the Republicans ever dreamed of doing. Tammany has not only gained political power by organization, but has maintained it by appointments, and elections, board of Aldermen and Legislature; L. Q. Morton is a member of the Civil Service Commission of three, and may be named a magistrate or judge. Mayor Hylan has made himself popular personally by mixing in personally with racial Harlem on all big occasions; and defending the liberties of Americans by word and deed. By the same token, Gov. Al Smith has handled the state, and is equally popular with the race. It has not been determined how this division will be made in "following the leader." On the other hand the Republican party has played more with the sentiment and 'influence than it has with practical politics. Its organization, like the organization in national politics, has been loose knit. There has been very little done in a tangle way to which the politicians may point with pride." The leaders have held themselves aloof, except in here and there-personal instances. Take Senator Wadsworth, who, by the way, is thick in the Republican turn for Mayor, a fine citizen of noble family, and wealthy, but his silk stockings know very little about the masses of Harlem. True, he backed Charles W. Anderson for Collector of Internal Revenue, but that is individual. He did not go "wild" about the antilynching bill, nor any other specific measure in which the dark Americans are interested. The Senator is a "tower of strength" in the Senate, but he is practically a stranger in Harlem. But, in the Republican party, headed by President Coolidge, Senator Butler of Massachusetts, needs Wadsworth in the Senate. All the influence of the administration and the national organization will be thrown behind him for retaining his seat. The mayorality of New York is the first battle with Gov. Al Smith a candidate for Senator opposite Senator Wadsworth, there will be fur flying in New York next year, and a good portion of it will be in Harlem. "Republicans on the Defensive" The Republican of New York are on the defensive. All the feeling has not been cured following the nomination for Congress of Dr. Roberts, who was later slaughtered by a union of white Republicans with the Democrats. "We knew they intended to do it; but we gave them their chance; now we have ours." is the way one citizen stated it to the Associated Negro Press. New Yorkers, who supported the Republican national ticket last fall, have stopped mumbling, and gone to grumbling, because, as another put it. "The President may be all right in principle and policy, but to keep this game going, we've got to have some real jobs." Colored Democrats are teasing the Colored Republicans, and are saying "If the Republican can party had a few real men like Gov. Smith and Mayor Hylan, then you would have a chance." There have been meetings and meetings, conferences and conferences. There have been efforts to make a separate organization, and there have been bitter protests from both white and black Republicans. Colored leaders have rent the air with protestations about the awkward way the game is played by Republicans in New York,—meaning of course, with age old sentiment about the record of the Grand Old Party, few jobs and very little cash for the practical side of the game. It's having its effect. White leaders are scamming up to the summer White House in Massachusetts, and also to certain positions in Boston, where the Republican National chairman holds forth. William Clarence Malthews, of Boston, dear old Boston, is pounding the air with his brawny arm and chubby fist, and calling for action. His desk has been be-splattered with letters and telegrams, asking "When in the _____ is business going to pick up?" Matthews has learned the words of a song to a tune, which he sings by day and night: "Don't blame it all on me." And it seems as the he is right. Matthews is made the goat, but what is needed for someone to find the Bull and take him by the horns—that goes for all, as well as New York.

LUKE BAPTIST CHURCH Just ten months ago, on the evening of September 3, 1924, about 8:30, when old Sol, the king of the day, had hid himself behind the horizon, when the silver-queen of night was stealing quietly across the blue dome taking care of the tides and seasons, ten billion and ten, billion more of God's sparkling diamonds playing in their silver sockets, from the four corners of this great city came a few of Jesus' blood-brought, saints, and gathered themselves together at 2816 Easton avenue in the Centennial Baptist church. There they sang and prayed with the spirit, waiting the coming of the Missionary, of the Beean Baptist Association. Soon an auto dashed around the corner and came to a sudden stop. Rev. E. D. Banks, the Missionary of the Berean Association, came in and proceeded to organize the few Baptist believers in Jesus Christ into a church to be known as the St. Luke Baptist Church, upon the three principles, one Lord, one Faith and one Baptism, whose watchword is, saints love union, kindness and earnestness. On we moved with Rev. Albert Foster, Rev. W. W. Williams and Rev. W. M. Johnson filling the pulpit until January, 1925, when Rev. I. E. Banks was called to the pastorate. The church then took on new life and today we are moving on in peace and harmony under the guidance of the Holy Spirit and being led by our beloved pastor. In the ten months our numerical and financial strength has been great, our expenses being over $120 per month or $30.00 per week.

WHAT THE NEWSPAPER EDITORS ARE SAYING Preston News Service The Negro Problem in Africa The Columbia State is impressed by the information that; Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, educational director of the Phelps-Stokes fund, founded in 1908 to promote Negro education in the southland and in Africa, finds after long months of study and investigation in the Dark Continent that the Negro is not prospering in any way. Richly endowed by nature, Africa has been losing ground in the man power essential for unlocking this great physical wealth. The heritage of the slave raids, the ravages of disease and an ignorance which permits malnutrition in a land of plenty are all given as causes for the sparse population. The problem, says the doctor, is a problem of saving and restoring the population. What is particularly interesting in the United States is the class of education Dr. Jones commends to save the situation in Africa. Here are his "simplies:" (1). Health and sanitation for a land where the infant death rate ranges from 300 to upwards of 600 per thousand. (2) Training in crop production, animal husbandry, food preservation and the farm trades for a people who are often decimated by famine in a land of plenty. (3) Proper understanding of the "decencies" and safeties of the home" including the preparation of food, provision of proper clothing and care of the ill, and (4) healthful recreation and amusements for a people notorious for the physical and sexual excesses of their primitive games. He pays high tribute to the character building influence of the Christian religion; at the same time he would salvage as much as possible of native traditions and customs, modifying them and directing them into the proper channels. The State's pertinent comment upon the foregoing is as follows: How much more benefit would have been derived by the Negroes of the South had those Northern persons philanthropically inclined, in the 70's and 80's had a-survey made of the needs of Southern Negroes, before making indorsements for Latin and Greek chairs? What the Negro needs in Africa Is not essentially different from what he needs in those sections of the Black Border where he has been living now for a half century practically isolated from whites. Whatever the Negro may not be doing in Africa, he is doing in the United States particularly in the South. He may be lagging in his native land, but in the Southern United States, he has adapted himself and is going forward splendidly and quietly, holding the good will of the whites.—Montgomery Advertiser. Among the appeals for funds that should not go un-noted are those of Hampton and Tuskegee colleges. Situated in Virginia and Alabama, they have for years been doing a fine work for the members of the Negro race, fitting them for contact with real life. They are potent factors in our educational system and they have every right to ask for public support.—Charleston (W. Va.) Gazette. Too Many Lynchings For some years past, there has been a steady decline in the number of lynchings committed in the United States. During the first six months of this year, however, there has been a slight movement in the wrong direction. It is disappointing to learn that the national record, instead of showing the anticipated improvement, is worse than at this date a year ago. According to the figures just announced at the meeting of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, at Denver, there have been ten lynchings of Negroes in this country, so far, since January 1. During the first half of 1324 there were only six. The figures are both too small to be very significant but they point the wrong way. The South continues to be the scene of most of the lynching. All but one of the 10 recorded, so far this year, occurred in the South. The distribution is given as follows: Mississippi, three: Florida, Arkansas, Georgia, Virginia, Louisiana, Kentucky and Utah, one each. Little can be added to what has long since been said of the enormity and brutality of this crime. It is to no one's credit, no matter what the local or immediate arguments for it may appear to be. Those who have the beat inferses of both races and of the entire country at heart will not rest until it has been entirely stamped out. Meanwhile the case for 1925 is not entirely hopeless. By genuine and concerted effort during the last half of the year, it is still possible not on- At Abernathy’s Country Club LET YOUR WIFE HAVE SOME BASE.

Iy to better: the record of the first six months, but to improve upon that of 1924. No effort should be left unturned to that end. It is a matter which affects all of the states, in one way or another. Public opinion should not cease to express itself on the matter until the habit is virtually eliminated; but it should be kept in mind that criticism, in order to have the desired curative effect, must avoid any attempt to make sectional or political capital out of the situation—Columbus Dispatch.

Had Stubborn Ten Inning Fight Two Weeks Ago. Bennett Anticipates Hard Game. The Belleville Clarks are coming back Sunday for another clash with Sam Bennett's Athletics at Stars' Park this Sunday. The Belleville team showed against the St. Louis boys two weeks ago and with "Smoke Ball" Calhoun on the mound, made it so interesting that the colored boys had to go ten innings before they gained a 4 to 3 victory, Calhoun struck out 11 Athletics. McFarland pitched a good game against the Dillians, letting them down with 5 hits. It was major baseball and many fans missed it because of threatening weather. The coming game, Sunday, should be just as interesting; the kind of baseball that deserves a crowded stand and there is little doubt but that there will be 'a big pouring out of fans this Sunday. ATHLETICS LOSE TO E. ST. L. GIANTS BUT BEAT LITTLE ROCK CUES IN TWO GAMES The Athletics won two of their three games with out of town clubs the past week. Sam Bennett's team went down before the East St. Louis Giants on Saturday 9 to 7, although a belated rally looked dangerous for the visitors in the closing innings. Bennett used five men on the mound, but they were not effective. Walls, Dixon, Freeman, Howard and Zomphier all took a try. The score was 9 to 2 when the Athletics came to bat in the 7th. They made 2 runs in each of the two innings, but could get only 1 run on 3 hits in the final frame. Cubs Badly Beaten The Little Rock, Cubs suffered stage fright in Sunday's game and their pitchers, were pounded at will. The score was 13 to 2 in favor of St. Louis, with McFarlane pitching and allowing 6 scattered hits. Brooks, Ross and Hill led in the batting. Rocks, Recover, Monday. Rockies Recover Monday The Little Rock Team came to life Monday and went out after the game, getting 4 runs on 4 hits in the first inning. St. Louis tied it up in the second, then the Cubs passed them by one in the 4th, St. Louis got four in the 6th, 2 in the 7th, and 2 in the 9th. Little Rock had made 3 in the 6th and the score was 11 to 9. when the visitors came to bat in the ninth. They massed 3 runs on 2 hits and 3 errors. It looked bad for St. Louis but a base on balls and hits by Ross and Bennett were good for two runs. Two were out when. Sam sent one toward the City Hospital, scoring Womack, and all was over. 13 to 12. BALL Colored people of this city will share more largely in the health program that will be financed from the proceeds of Tuberculosis Day than ever before. Wednesday, July 15th, has been set as the date for this year's celebration. This will be the society's eleventh annual benefit ball game and summer fete. Until recently it was uncertain whether a game would, be advisable, because of police regulations, but officers of the society have decided to celebrate Tuberculosis Day in the usual manner An innovation in health work among colored people will be the opening of the open air school for colored children on or about September 1st. The Tuberculosis Society will pay for the meals of all those who cannot afford to pay. Then the Advisory Medical Surf of the Tuberculosis Society with the help of prominent colored physicians, is planning an extensive health program devoted exclusively to the needs of the colored people. The Health Talk Bureau of the society is also planning to give more health talks before colored school patrons, business employees and colored churches. The school children will also benefit from special health instruction in the schools. Although the society has been in doubt as to the certainty of the game, merchants and manufacturers have shown boundless optimism, for presents of all descriptions and values have been pouring in for the last month or so. Already more than 800 firms have donated their products to be distributed on this occasion. More than 25,000 presents have been received so far, and they are better and further than those of any previous year, according to A. W. Jones, Manager and Secretary of the Society. The Tuberculosis Society will conduct the day's events, in conformity with the rules, and regulations of the police department. This will necessitate some changes in the details of Tuberculosis Day arrangements, which will be decided upon soon at a meeting of the Executive board of the Society. The educational sonventr programs, which have always been a big feature of the day's attractions, will be Benefit Ball Game For The People's Hospital Saturday Dentists And Druggists Will Meet The Physicians On The Diamond At Stars' Park.

The much talked of baseball game between the dentists and druggists on the side and the physicians on the other, will take place at Stars' park this Saturday. Game will be called at 3 o'clock. The contest will be for the benefit of People's Hospital Building Fund. The demand for tickets has been heavy enough to forecast a big crowd. Not only is the cause worth patronizing, but the fans will see in action men, most of whom were stars on their college ball teams. All are now red hot fans who claim to know the game thoroughly.

Weinert Proves No Match For Harry Wills Colored Contender For The Crown Of Jack Dempsey Knocks Out Hungarian In Less Than Two Rounds. NEW YORK, July 3—Harry Wills, the "Brown Panther," finished Charlie Weinert in less than two rounds of what was to have been a 15-round tussle here last night. Harry, called upon to enact the role of matador, put the job through in an impressive manner, thus strengthening his claim as Jack Dempsey's logical contender, for the heavyweight crown. From the moment of Harry's entrance in the ring 75,000 customers, one-fourth of them with field glasses of every description, strained their ocular organs in an endeavor to examine his physical appearance. The fight, short though it was, resolved itself into a battery. Harry Wills, pitcher, and Charlie Weinert, catcher. FIRST ROUND—Harry was short with a left, they clinched; Wills pounding Weinhart in body with his famous kidney punches. Weinhart showed a little life in rushing Wills to a neutral corner, but Wills danced away without Weinhart having landed a blow, thus proving through his fastness, that he was not misnamed a panther. Wills pounded body in a series of clinches, and landed two rights to the Hungarian's head during one of these mixups. Wills rushed Weinhert to his own corner and staggered him with a flock of punches to head and body. Harry landed a hard right which lifted Weinhert through the ropes, but he managed to come back, although in bad shape, and the gong probably saved him from a knockout there and then. Wills' round. SECOND ROUND—Wills hooked a left to the ear. Ecetere Purdy cautioned him for hitting coming out of a clinch. Wills forced Weinert to the ropes, slaughtering him with rights and lefts to the head. Wills hooked left to the face as they broke, and the adopted Newurker protested without avail. Weinert sent a left upperent to the chin. Wills staggered Charlie with rights and lefts to the head and body. Harry connected a dynamic haymaker to Weinert's chin, paralyzing the rejuvenated Adonis for the full count of ten, which the crowd aided the referee in toiling off. The and came after one minute and forty-five seconds of fighting. The weights: Harry Wills, 213; Charlie Weinert, 184-1.2. LATE MRS. WASHINGTON LEFT $50,000 ESTATE TUSKEGEE, Ala... July 8...

Rogan and Drake were shoed off the players' bench for disputing umpires' decisions. The Giants filled the bases and couldn't score in the first. Brown doubled to start the fourth and was left stranded. It took a walk, a single by Hines; an out, an error and a sacrifice fly to get the only run the Giants collected in nine frames. Kansas City, hit timely. A fool catch by Hines of a long foul in right with a man on third who scored after the catch gave the visitors a run in the fourth. A walk to Foreman. Bolley Williams' error of Dean's poke. Johnstons triple and Allen's sacrifice飞 gave the Monarchs three in the fifth and Moore's honer over the right field fence added another in the sixth. Moore singled and stole second in the eighth and scored on Mother's rap to right which eluded Hines. Dean's single and McNehir's double coded the scoring.

HEALTH MORE ABUNDANT WITH CITY-BRED PERSONS NEW YORK, July 5—An investigation conducted by the Rockefeller foundation has proven the old, idea that persons raised on the farm are healthier than individuals raised in the cities, false. An examination of 3,478 male students in a large state university of the middle west revealed that those from cities of a population of over 30,000 had less physical defects than those from small towns, villages and the country. "The idea that rural life is inherently wholesome and healthful has all the vitality of a popular legend," said Dr. George E. Vincent, president of the Rockefeller foundation. "The crystal waters of the old family well, the gymnasium apparatus of plow and hoe and saw, the fresh food from field, garden and dairy, the constant outdoor life, the mental serenity which comes from contact with nature have been so tragically extolled by orators, chiefly urban, that it is hard to convince the man in the street that the farmer and his family are not healthier than city folk. Yet there are many facts which point in quite the opposite direction. "It is a well known fact," says a United States health official, "that the natural advantages which the rural districts possess are more than offset by the better health protection afforded the city dweller." In The Field Of Athletics Edgar Brown and Tally Holmes to Play Wins K. C. Tennis Title. The colored American was well represented at the National Amateur Athletic Union Field and Track Championship meet at San Francisco, July 1, 2, and 3, in the person of De Hart Hubbard. King of the Lead Jump, and Cecil Cook, an eastern youth who is a coming world's heater in the quarter mile run. Hubbard succeeded in adding another record to his already large number by shattering the former A. A. U. broad jump record of 24 feet, 8 inches made by the mighty Sol Butler in 1920, with a leap of 25 feet 4% inches. In the 100-yard dash, Hubbard finished a hair's breadth behind Frank Hussey and Jackson Shoiz two of the world's greatest sprinters. The time for the event being 9 45 seconds. Cook, representing the Salem Crescent Athletic club, won the 440-yard run in both the junior and senior events, his time being 49 3-5 seconds and 49 1-5 seconds respectively. L. A. Beaufort of Chicago won the mid-western Auto Racing Championship at the Thornton Speedway in the Windy City last Sunday in a thrilling race. He beat "Dare Devil" Bill Wallace of Indianapolis who ran second by over a lap. William Walthall of Chicago was third. Preparations are being made for one of the greatest Negro racing classics ever staged, when the speed kings of the Race will meet in a 100 mile event known as the Gold and Glory Sweepstakes at Indianapolis, August 8. With the setting of a new National A. A. U. record for the 220 yard low hurdles, Charles R. Brookins, former Iowa star, holds practically every major low hurdle mark in America. His time Saturday was: 23-2-10. His world mark for the same race is 23-2-10. He also holds the indoor world mark for the 60 yard race at 106 4-10. At an All for Glory field and track meet held at Drudd Hill Park of Baltimore recently, J. Brady hallled as the bronze marvel of those parts, broke his own record in the hop, step and jump event, leaping a distance of 42 feet in eclipsing his form, or record of 40 feet 1 inch. The Baltimore youth was entered in three events, placing in them all, finishing third in the 100, second in the 410, and first in the hop, step and jump. Edgar Brown, former tennis champion, and Tally Holmes of Washington, D. C., present net king, have been invited and are said to have accepted an invitation to play in the tournament held in Chicago, July 25 and 26. Brown won the singles titles in the seasons of '22 and '23 and was suspended for the season of '24. Holmes won last year, beating "Ted" Thompson, Ayres Salkit, and Richard Hudlin for the honors. It will be a gala day in tennis with Dr. Williams and Hudlin also entered. The tennis championship of Kansas City was won by Herbert Peen, a youthful Lincoln High school star. Peen is expected to represent the city at the National Tennis meet this year. TWO NEGROES DIE TRYING TO SAVE WHITE FOREMAN TWO NEGROES DIE TRYING TO SAVE WHITE FOREMAN Workmen Fall Into Boiling Vat While Attempting To Rescue Man From Its Bottom NEW ALBANY, Ind., July 8—A horrible tragedy occurred here last Friday, when one white man, Frank Aug, 46, was scalded to death in a calfren of boiling pulp, and two Negroes, James Russell, 38, and Horace Russ, 60, suffered a similar fate, while trying to rescue him. The accident halted at the Moser Tannery, where all three men were employed. The fate of Aug. a foreman, was discovered when Russ. who had been watchman at the plant for years, discovered his hat lying on the edge of the huge hat, used for boiling scrap leather. Russ immediately sounded an alarm, which brought Russell and a Julius Moser, white manager. The two Negroes, with little thought for (their safety) went to the rescue of their foreman whom they knew must be in the bottom of the steaming vat. They mounted a ladder and descended into its depths, but deadly fumes caught the two before they had a chance to realize the danger. Russ was never seen alive again, and Russell, who managed to struggle to the top rung of the ladder, fell back into the hole before he could be assisted. Fireman were called and extracted the bodies of the death victims with trapping hooks after three hours of flames. Russell left a widow and five children, while Russia lived at the home of friends and had no relatives here. PAGE SEVEN GAME CALLED 3 F. M. GENERAL ADMISSION 50c BOX SEATS. 25c EXTRA s Athletics SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT By F. A. WALKER STRANGE HUMAN TRAITS IF A MAN strolling on the sidewalk espies the shell of a nut, the chance may be that he will turn aside to step upon it that he may hear it crunch beneath his weight. A vague pleasure comes to him as the shell cracks and gives way to the pressure of his foot; an odd consciousness of power which for the moment tickles, his pride and possibly causes him to explain to himself as did little Jack Horner in the nursery rhymes, "Oh what a big man am I." From the time of Herod, this type of man has had much to do with the unhappiness of the world, its sobs and tears, its divorces, its industrial strife and wars. It is this sort of man that likes to oppress, to vield his fists and ply the whips. He delights to humiliate me by compelling them to submit to his arrogance and presumptuous mastery. He has no sympathy for the men and women whose backs are bent under burdens, who uncomplainingly are doing the world's work, building homes, rearing families, planting trees, tilling the soil, guiding the looms and forging steel. Being the embodiment of selfishness, dictatorial in all his communications and dealings with his fellow kid, he has no hesitancy in crushing beneath his hard, cruel heel, everything and everybody that comes in his way. He does not stop to consider that he, too, in all probability may meet a similar fate. That as he measures it, will in the day of final reckoning be measured unto him, even to the last mite. He is too busy and finds too much satisfaction and profit in crunching the shells on the sidewalk and, incidentally, in crushing hearts and wrecking lives. The little fellows must seek cover when he comes strutting down the street, else he may turn suddenly aside when he meets them to step upon them, simply to hear the delightful crunch! Like a hawk, he is ever watching for prey, over ready to tear and destroy, that he may be better fed, become more powerful and more generally feared. If a boy or girl should show signs of developing these strange human traits, see to it that he or she is shown the error and led away from it with utmost haste. © by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.

C., July 8—(Special) Somebody got real busy and appointed Thomas L. Jones, one of the leading colored attorneys here, as an assistant district attorney to Mal. Peyton Gordon. Jones at one time was lined up with Calvin Chase, editor of the Washington Bee. At one time the Bee made life miserable for the Republican party by bringing Jones out as a candidate for Congress, from a nearby Virginia Congressional district and by propaganda got Jones and Chase back in the field Every day since that time Jones has been a "regular" and last year was chosen as one of the Cobbledge delegates from the District of Columbia to the Cleveland convention. He has been playing ball pretty hard ever since, but he has never teamed with the Howard University political faction headed by Emmett Scott and Jim Cobb. In fact many of the local bunch say that Jones is a full fledged member of the three Ks. Speaking about that murderous organization, they are trying to forget their past history and have asked the Washington police to allow them to stage a parade on the historic Pennsylvania Avenue. They forget that something more than thirty days ago, during the Mayfield trial before the United States Senate Committee, no less than ten klansmen took the stand and swore that the entire order was simply an organization of murderers. The Department of Justice has the testimony and whether in the face of that prima facie evidence, the authorities will allow such a murderous oligarchy to parade the streets of Washington, D. C., remains to be seen. Evidently they had forgotten about this testimony as many of the main leaders of the Kriminal Ku Klux Klan are named in the testimony. It all seems to show how very quickly these murderous organizations are forgotten wherein the race is concerned. If theodore Roosevelt was in the presidential chair-this damnable oligarchy would be put behind the bars where it justly belongs for the thousands of murders already committed by it. Getting back to assistant district attorney Jones again, it is rumored in political circles that Jones will eventually be made one of the police court judges here, on account of his long service as a criminal lawyer, and his general experience in district matters. He is a man of considerable ability, a graduate of Howard university, and has the respect of the white and colored members of the Washington bar. He is a good all-round talker and has been regarded as one of race leaders. He belongs to the older school of politicians and hence is not too much loved and admired by the younger element of colored men now forging to the front. However, this is the straw that tells the way the political pot is going to boll and it looks as though the old guard of political engineers will get the bacon after all from friend Cooldge. This is the third of a series of articles by Captain Smith, in refutation of the charges made by General Robert Lee Bullard, a son of the South, who declared in a recent syndicate article that the Negro was a failure in the Great World War. Captain Smith is one of the men courtmartialled for cowardice and was exonerated and is writing this series of articles for the Associated Negro Press from his war diary. Each article becomes more interesting, so don't miss a single installment. In beginning the weekly installment let me first pay tribute to Y. M. C. A. secretary Banks, a native of Ohio. Mr. Banks was of much service to the men on this particular drive, making trip after trip among the wounded, comforting them and issuing clg. garrettes as well as carrying men back to the first aid station. September 24 "We arrived at the enemy's barbed wire entanglement and here halted on account of not having wire cutters and darkness prevented us from entering the enemy's territory. Orders were given to halt until daylight. "Four-thirty a. m. a verbal order was received from the battalion commander stating that the attack would be resumed at 6:30. I assembled the men and the report of the company showed that I had about 159 men and no officers. This report was sent to the battalion commander. His former order was reiterated that we should move out at 6:30. At 6:00 o'clock I held conference with Captain Green, commander of Company "I." I told hime of the battalion commander's order. We had no objective. "During the conference with Captain Green, a shell fell within twenty yards of us, a piece striking Captain Green, wounding him fatally. "Although yet under arrest, I assumed command of his company, too. The company consisted of three platoons, commanded by Lieut. Cheers, Lieut. Cross and Lieut. Crawford. "Placed Lieut. Cross on my right to cover that flank and ordered Lieuts. Cheers and Crawford to connect up my left flank with company "M". The forest in which we were operating was very tricky and wired through, which made operating very difficult without wire cultures. I personally commanded the first platoon.

Sent out patrols and runners to locate other plattons and those of company "I". The enemy in the interim treated us with a machine gun attack and I decided to move across the valley. In this attack one man was lost. Perhaps the readers do not understand why I ordered my platoon to move out in the face of the deadly machine gun fire of the enemy which was combing the area to be traversed. This is better than to remain stationary or to move back, as it in a way disconcerts the runners. "Took the position on other side of valley and awaited the coming of Company "K" and platoons of Company "L". Company "K" arrived first in this position across the Morrow Valley. Sent Sergeant Collier with eight men to my right flank to establish connection with the Second Battalion, under command of Major Elsle. He returned, stating that the battalion could not be found, therefore showing that my right flank was uncovered and unprotected. "At 12:30 a French officer came up and commended the quiff for their work and stated that he was going to report our attack and the condition under which we were operating to the regimental commander. The St. Louis Argus ST.LOUIS,MO.,FRIDAY,JULY 10,1925 PADUCAH, Ky., July 8.—The colored citizens of the state are all clated over their success in raising $12,000 for the needy West Kentucky Industrial College, which was $1500 over the amount that it was necessary for them to raise in order for the school to get an appropriation of $10,500 from the State Legislature. White friends of the colored college came to its aid by giving $7,000 forward the fund. As a result of the campaign the W, K. I.

"Met Lieut. Cross and his platoon, I placed him in command and went to Battalion headquarters to report. No order had been received since 4:30. "I reported our operations to the Battalion Commander and told him that I had tried to establish connection with the Third Battalion but to no avail and that the flanks of our battalion were exposed. He replied that I was wrong; that the flanks were covered. I further reported that Captain Peaks had not yet been located, and that Captain Green had been wounded. Again he said I was wrong; that both Captains were in the front line with their respective outfits. I told him this was impossible as at the present time I was in command of the two companies and that it was impossible for me to advance further with my right flank exposed to an attack.

The report states that although the reduction is slight; there was an increase of accidents of more than 22 per cent during the first four months of this year. Reminders states that a great deal of credit is attributed to the way the City Court judges have cooperated with the police in establishing some semblance of traffic discipline. Motor vehicle fatalities during the first six months of 1925 amounted to eighty-four, which is an increase of twenty over the first six months of 1924.

C., July 8—A letter from President Coolidge was among communications of congratulation read at the celebration of the Crispus Attacks Press Association, which was held last Wednesday night incident to the recent purchase of a new headquarters at 1502 Thirteenth street, which was attended by more than 100 prominent citizens. The press association, which represents 34 colored publications throughout the country, will soon move into the new headquarters. Accompanying the President's letter was the gift of an autographed photograph, which he presented to the members of the club. The association, named after Crispus Attacks of Boston, the first colored man killed in the Revolution, is said to hold a special interest for the President. "Uncle Joe" Cannon-Heard From Others who sent letters and autographed photographs were "Uncle Joe" Cannon and Postmaster General New. A number of other distinguished persons are also patrons of the club. They include C. Bascom Slemp, Commissioner Cano H. Rudolph and Representative Frank Murphy. Several speakers addressed the meeting, among whom was Isaac Gans, former president of the Washington Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Gans highly praised the club and declared that its influence and ideal would be beneficial to the National Capital. He urged that the organization lead the colored race in its development and work for tolerance and co-operation between the white and colored races in the National Capital. The aims of the association are to unite the colored people in their progress and to stimulate achievement. It is the hope of the organization to engender a spirit of friendliness and close co-operation between the white and colored races and to bring about co-operation between white and colored publications. Attorney O'Leary Praises Club Assistant District Attorney, Jas. J. O'Leary praised the club and launched an attack on the "pestilence of fanatical reformers." He charged that they were constantly interfering with the rights of the people and would be the cause of a great deal of trouble. He declared that they claimed in their ideas a panacea for everything and were forcing their opinion on everybody. Kirk Miller of the Washington Times, read-an address by G. Logan Payne of that publication, who was unable to be present, commending the ideal of the association.

GOLDEN TEXT—Behold, I have given him for a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander to the peoples. —Isa. 554. PRIMARY TOPIC—Telling Strangers About Jesus. JUNIOR TOPIC—Barnabas and Paul in Antioch, Pisidia. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC-Early Victories of Foreign Mission YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC-Paul's Preaching and Its Effects. 1. In the Synagogue at Antioch in Pisidia (vv. 13:10). From Paphos Paul and Barnabas, with their companion Mark, went northward to Perga. Here Mark, for some reason, perhaps because of hardships, went back. He was ready to go again when they started on their second Journey, but Paul would not give his consent (Acts 15:38:30). Before Paul's death he testified in Mark's favor for he had found him profitable unto him for the ministry (H Tim. 4:11). From Perga they went to Antioch in Pisidia, and here they entered the synagogue on the Sabbath day. From this we see that though Paul was sent to the Gentiles, he did not depart from the order of beginning with the Jews. 11. Paul's First Recorded Sermon (vv. 17-41). This sermon is worthy of careful study. In its analysis we find four parts: 1. Historical (vv. 17-23). In this section we see how Paul, in a conciliatory way, led them gradually through a series of changes in which God had dealt graciously with them, finally giving them Jesus, His Son. (1) God chose and exalted the people (vv. 17). (2) He delivered them from Egyptian bondage, and led them through the terrible wilderness (vv. 17-18). (3) He destroyed the Canaanitish nations, giving their lands to the Israelites (vv. 19). (4) He gave them judges as their deliverers when distressed by surrounding nations (vv. 20). (5) After they had selfishly chosen a king, He rejected the dynasty of Saul, and chose David, a man after His own heart (vv. 21-22). (6) Finally it was God who from David's seed raised up unto Israel in Savior, Jesus. This demanded proof, which is given in the next section. 2. Apologetic (vv. 24-37). That this Jesus is the seed of David and therefore the promised Messiah, he proves by three lines of argument: (1) The testimony of John the Baptist (vv. 24-25). John disclaimed all power as their deliverer, and pointed to Jesus as such. (2) The prophecies of Scripture were fulfilled in their rejection and crucifixion of Jesus (vv. 26-29). (3) By His resurrection from the dead (vv. 30-37). Having proved Jesus to be the seed of David, he proceeds to follow the doctrinal teachings growing out of such proof. 3. Doctrinal (vv. 38:39) The great doctrine derived from this proof is justification by faith, the very marrow of the gospel. (1) The ground of justification is by Jesus. He took our place as a sinner that we might have His place as sons (11 Cor. 5:21). (2) Who are justified? Those who believe in Him. (3) From what is one justified? All sins. The one who believes in Jesus is freely forgiven. His sins are all blotted out. This is the missionary message for all times. May we strive to get our pupils to believe on Him. (4) Practical (vv. 40:41) The application of this sermon was a warning test the judgment spoken of by Habakkuk should fall upon them. III. The Effect of the Sermon (vv. 42-52). 1. Many of the Jews and proselytes urged to hear these words again (vv. 42-43). Almost the whole city came to hear the Word of God the next Sabbath. This great crowd incited the jealousy of the Jews. 2. Open Opposition (vv. 50-52). This jealousy could not long be restrained. It broke out in open oppression. The persecution became so violent that Paul and Barnabas were expelled from the city. This persecution was answered by Paul's rejection of the Jews and his turning to the Gentiles. 3. The disciples were filled with joy and the Holy Ghost (v. 52). Jean Paul Richter Said: "The life of Christ concerns Him, who being the holiest among the miracle, and the mightiest among the holy, fitted with His pierced hands empires of their blings, and turned the stream of centuries out of its channel, and still governs the ages." God Must Lead Water is the greatest necessity of life, though God must lead us into the wilderness before we understand it—Evangelical Teacher. THE ST.

It is the duty of every Negro to pay at least $1.00 each year to the Association—thus becoming a member. What is $1.00 compared with the great good the N. A. A. C. P. is doing the race in this country. I am surprised to find lawyers, doctors, teachers, merchants and business men of our group shirking their duty along these lines. What do you mean, men? Are the leaders asleep at the switch? Some of our ministers allow themselves to fall behind. Leaders should lead in all lines of racial endeavor. We must have 100 new members during the remainder of this year. Pine Bluff Branch should easily boast of 500 loyal members. Shall we have a real worthwhile branch in Pine Bluff?

Heroes and Heroines— "Attend to that little girl first," said Oscar J. Daniels, Negro porter of the Pullman Company as he refused first aid of the doctors who sought to ease his scalding steam burns following the horrible wreck, on June 16, of the Erie Special, near Rockport, N. J. The physicians heeded Daniels' command and upon return-in to his side, found the Negro hero dead. He had given his last full measure of devotion that others might live. While memories of Daniels' funeral are still fresh, there comes news of the bravery of a nine-year-old colored girl, of Hagerstown, Md., who on July 4, flagged a Baltimore and New York train to a nearby avert a fifty-foot drop down the mountain side, saving perhaps, the forty-precious lives on board. The name of the little heroine has not yet been learned, but Engineer Albert B. Haller states that it is probable she averted a terrible loss of life. Tom Lee, Oscar Daniel, the nine-year old girl of today; Roberts and his comrades of World War fame Crispus Attucks, and all the way back to Simon the Cyranian, who helped Jesus carry the cross, black heroes and heroes have adorned civilization's exploits of bravery. In war, peace, and amid trials, when the souls of men are crying aloud, black men and women have risen to the supreme test, when one faces the privilege of laying down his life for his friend. And yet there are those like Gen. Bullard, who say that the Negro is a coward,—only half a man,—and they take care to give him only half a man's chance. The color scheme, a barometer of alleged superiority, measures these black heroes and heroes and their kinsmen, not by their deeds but by their color. History, though, just as before, is bound to repeat itself, and restore to the oppressed of today the fullness of their rights on the morrow. This dawn is what "supremists" fear most, lest the iron hand of retribution clutch them within its grasp and fears are these, for these flee when they are threatened. The prophecy is merely that Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hand—and that all she is trying to do, in wrecks, in wars, in peace, and unto the hearts and lives of her fellowbeings. And sooner or later the "selfists" must come to know that God's prophecies never fail. Mr. "Abolitionist" Writes— Writing in the New York World of July 1, 1925, Mr. "Abolitionist" goes to the hat on the question of race segregation. Says he: "It is an error to assume that segregation is an evil for the colored race. Rather, should the Negroes welcome it as it affords them an opportunity to demonstrate their power to stand alone and their capacity to function alone and unaided in all life's activities equally with the white man. The Negro only degenerates by his contact with the white race. Alone, he can fight against the evil influence of those who undermine his character and morality in order to have him under their sway." Somewhere in it the dim and ancient past it is recorded, notwithstanding Mr. Darwin to the contrary, that God made man in his own mage—not men but MAN—and in the ages since it has been recorded how man became so dissatisfied with himself that Cain slew Abel, men warred against men, and selflessness against bigotry, following the original sin of Adam, superseded the scheme of God for man to live with man in peace and harmony. The trend of theory, at least, is for man again to Christianize himself and live peaceably with his brother, as his brother's keeper and loving his neighbor as himself. Race segregation is the baneful barrier of some men to place self upon a pedestal and the other fellow at its base. It is not that the Negro does not yearn for the full chance to function as a race group that leads him to segregation. It is that the object his own company that he dislikes the Jim Crow coach or the segregated community. Nor is it that he disdains the opportunity to demonstrate his group power. It is, however, the shroud of inferiority which ever an accompanies the white man's scheme of segregation. This coupled with selfishness and bigotry which have ever accompanied sole group alignment, together with the reciprocal benefits which, under Christian civilization, play back and forth between races, makes segregation an undesirable policy. Then, too, were all the racial increments of America's melting pot of human beings to segregate them selves from each other, where, in the name of Heaven, would come the chance to exchange the emoniments of Christianized and civilized progression? Were the Jews, the Germans, the Italians, and all the other racial groups selfishly to segregate themselves from each other, what would become of the descendants of the Oglethorpes, Peter Minuet and Roger Williams, all of whom are supposed to be promoting American welfare this day and time? What would become of the great interlocking American financial system, her might cities, dels of education, her might cities, sealing such institution is what makes nation strong, for in unity there is strength. And were Negroes like smallpox, the present trend toward segregation for them would have our unqualified approval. But they are living, beings, created in the image of God, whose intentions are always interpreted by advocates of segregation but whose acts, though, speak louder than words, all the way from Genesis to Getsemais. Kapital Klan Kapers— Press reports告她 heralding the August parade of the Ku Klux Klan, to be held in the Nation's Capital, and soachsayers are advancing divers motives for the 156,000 khansmen who will march up the famous Pennsylvania avenue, triumphantly traversed by General Grant, Admiral Dewey, presidential heroes, and other national characters. Some say the klan kraves publicity; others, that it is trying to create a halo of psychological strength equal to that which hovered over the recent parade of the Holy Name so long as it is bent on letting the world know that it is, at least, ostensibly in favor in America. In the wake of press announcements protests are beginning to pour in upon the District Government against the public spectacle of the invincible Empire. The local N. A. A. C. P., headed by the stalwart Lafarge M. Herahaw has vigorously protested against the klan karavan. And rumbles are being heard in Catholic circles and in the synagogues. Others, alleging that public interest, is being jeopardized, are registering their adverseness to the police and committing murder days. Just how much pressure the protests will bring to bear no one can say. The District Government remains adamant, under the law, and of course, no one can question its good faith or sincerity. Nevertheless, the bad taste remains in the mouth of Washington, where it is realized that exploitation is to be made of the organization which President Grant so vigorously quelled, in the big day of yesterdays, and it is difficult to realize the grade of consistency which permits the invisible order to court cheers of approbation from a sector of the generous public. The fact remains that precedents of Niles, Ohio, and other places where the klan has met under similar circumstances, do not brook much to follow in its wake, and despite the statute law, which may permit the statute to treat upon Washington's most historic street, caution and care, it would seem, should-lead the "District Government to balance the good and the harm, as the case may be, which may come from the descendants of the hood and gown. And during such a consideration, we think the burden of proof rests with the klan to prove itself 100 per cent. American rather than its foes to prove it is not—at least this should be the case, if history means anything, for history usually repeats itself. "I Heard—" I heard Jim Jones had left his wife; that Smith had whipped his kid; that Carter pulled a carving knife and awful damage did. I heard our minister drank booze; and had some awful sprees; that Elder Jones let curse words loose, and said that Hell would freeze. I heard my wife was riding 'round the town with different men; that Green some cash was hiding which should put him in the pool.

Negro Farm And Home Agents Specially Taught In Florida Preston News Service JACKSONVILLE, FLA., July 5—The Negro home makers' agents working under the direction of the co-operative extension work in agriculture and home economics of the State College of Agriculture, were given ten days of special schooling in their work at the Florida A. and M. College for Negroes June 15 to 25. The fact that the agents met during the session of the summer school made it possible for the farm and home management students to be the colored teachers of the state, who can co-operate in developing the work in their respective communities. Tuskegee Instructor Aids The lectures and demonstrations were given by supervising officers and specialists from the State College at Galeneville, the home demonstration department of the State College for Women and the Florida A. and M. College faculty, assisted by Miss R. B. Jones, state home demonstration agent for Negroes in Alabama, with headquarters at Tuskegee. The lectures and demonstrations given at the general assembly in chapel at noon each day and the practice work in shops, caponizing chickens, dairying, stock judging and marketing enabled them to get valuable information to take back to the people with whom they work. There are fifteen local agents who work in fourteen counties primarily among the rural people teaching better farm and homes practices. There were enrolled in the various clubs 2925 junior and adult members during the past six months who planted 21,653 acres of staple and truck crops. Statistics show that there is less unrest and migration from communities where farm and home agents work than where there are no agents, due to improving living conditions and increasing returns to the farmers. The men agents were given a trip to the Bannerman's plantation twelve miles out from Tallahassee by G. C. Hodge, county agent for Leon county, where they studied the bright leaf topeace from the plant bed and its growing stage through the process of curling. Plan to Raise Better Stock Plans were worked out by A. A. Turner, local district agent of Farm and Home Makers clubs and J. R. E. Lee, president, Florida A. and M. College, for placing purebred boars and cockrels of standard breeds among the club boys and girls over the state through local agents who will follow their advice and treatment to demonstrate the advantage of the better breeds of live stock and poultry. Sixteen Duroc Jersey boars were secured by the agents from the college and will be shipped to their respective counties.

Dawes has shown himself to be fair and square on questions affecting the Negro. His usual frankness in expressing his convictions has caused many Negroes to study the life and habits of Mr. Dawes. While Negroes are studying his life it will prove of interest to them to read what Louis Ludlow has to say about him. Mr. Ludlow says in part: "During the recent anniversary celebration of Paul Revere's famous ride, the country became advised that Vice President Dawes' paternal great-great grandfather accompanied that great horseman on his dash to sound warnings of the approach of the British."** He cannot appear to be generally known, but his daughter's maternal great-great grand-father, Menachel Cutset, after serving as chaplain in the Continental Army, put over one of the largest deals ever consummated with the government and thus became known as the greatest lobbyist of his day, using that term in an entirely respectable sense. "Menassac Cutier, along with General Rufus Putnam and a few others obtained 5,000,000 acres of land from Congress at one dollar an acre. The extent of the transaction may be appreciated from the fact that the area embraced in the grant was equivalent to one-fifth of the state of Ohio. "The proposition which Cutler and his group succeeded in putting thru Congress provided for their purchase of this large holding to be resold to Revolutionary War veterans, who should be allowed to pay for their tracts with the scripts or notes of indebtedness which had been issued them by the then almost penniless government, and which consequently formed a company for this undertaker formed a company for this undertaker known as the 'Ohio Company of Associates' and also succeeded in including a provision for the exclusion of slavery, which he cleverly got through Congress before the southern members of that body considered the possible effect sufficiently to become alarmed. The Rev. Menashe Cutler and General Rufus Putnam were first establishing the first settlement at Mamaroneck many years later the present vice president and his three brothers were born. "In New York City there is a tablet commemorating, the great land deal that was directed by General Dawes' direct ancestor. All of the original papers in regard to the Cutler purchase are' now in the Vice President's library. It would seem, therefore, that the financial abilities and success of the four Dawes boys are a natural inheritance." "It would also seem perfectly natural that the splendid attitude General Dawes has taken in all cases where the welfare of the Negro race has been affected, is an inheritance from this sturdy, true and Puritanic stock. Think twice before you speak and you will not have to protest that you you were "misquoted." A forceful man's grunt carries great weight except with other forceful man whose pugnacity it provokes. One way is to throw aside a novel at the first heavy profanity you encounter; it will get worse later on. Culture takes greatest delight in displaying itself; and it is one of the few displays worth paying attention to. Prominent men are wise enough to know that too much publicity is no better than not enough. Nearly every man likes to use a new big word if everybody else is using it. One of the good habits is trying to look nice on Sunday. at you should on your sav- RATE GOLD BONDS yield ing our representative who will ex- 你.

He would take a special study of the international and inter-racial situation in the countries surrounding the Indian Ocean and the Southern Pacific. The race question is an important issue in India today. Mr. Ghanda's first entrance into social service was in connection with his championship of indentured Indian laborers in Africa. Mr. F. C. Andrews another missionary is giving much of his time to the social injustice in India. With the passing years the problem has become more acute, and more extensive, but has won a wider hearing. South Africa is likewise at present in the throes of racial controversy. Bills are pending in the legislature championed by the present premier, General Smuts, Which 47 adopted, will inflame the Ascetic mind. Australa la has a peculiar problem attaching to the issue of the education ago, of the "White-Australia Policy." The Sinkapore Naval Base has likewise become one of the subjects of widespread discussion. Filt has a difficult situation due to an old system of bond-slavery. These indentured laborers are now gaining their freedom through the fact that the period of contracts is running out. They have saved money and have a new education for the education and advancement of their children. This is creating a problem of real significance. Bishop and Mrs. Fisher have had a close contact with these personalities in India which are deeply interested in these vital questions. It is hoped that their special study may have significance at this time and that they may be able to make some worth while contributions toward the application of Christian principles to these issues. Bishop Fisher's health has demanded a dry climate during the Indian rainy season and he is, therefore, combining the necessary absence from the city of his residence with an opportunity for constructive study and work. Africans Organize Missionary Society "A home missionary society to be known as the "Society to Aid in Evangelization" has been organized by the African Christians in Quesson, Anurora, Africa, according to a report made by Mrs. R. B. Klipp, missionary of the Methodist Episcopal Church in that district, to the Board of Foreign Missions. These African Christians have raised a sum of money sufficient to cover the expenses of sending one of their own pastors to a distant post in a section of Angola where the church is present and present working. They propose to continue to help send out 10% and other home missionaries in years to come. "People are coming to us from long distances asking for teachers and pastors," says Mrs. Kipp. "This last week two men came a distance of forty miles with the news that 130 of their followers had given up their idols and want someone there to teach them. They say that if the present location of their village does not suit the missionaries, they will indicate another to which they will move. At another point where there is a cluster of small native filmmakers, 21 men have promised to begin building at once a house for chapel and school. If we will send a teacher, the women and children want to help also. At Quessau, after several days of prayer and preaching, and instruction, 100 persons were added to the roll of preparatory membership in the Methodist Episcopal Church. Mr. and Mrs. Kipp have just ended twenty years of mission service in Africa. Mrs. Kipp was born in Adams, Massachusetts and entered mission service from Lowell, Massachusetts. She is a graduate of the Adams University Training School in Boston. She was a teacher of music, and church organist in Adams. Mass. before her appointment as a missionary. Twenty Years ago in Loanda— Twenty years ago in Loanda, Twenty years ago it was with difficulty that any native girl could be boarded to the school and when she did she soon stopped coming if any misfortune or sickness entered her family," writes the Rev Robert Shields, missionary of the Methodist Episcopal church in Loanda, Africa, to the Board of Foreign Missions. "For the natives were so superstitious that they connected the misfortune with sending their daughters to the Mission. This has all passed as regards Loanda and vicinity. Last year our 250 day pupils were about equally divided between boys and girls. "For the first ten years the girls came to school in pannos, sheet-like coverings, that they wound about themselves; now they come in dresses. It is their 'father' own choosing their clothes, and they glad to say. Now we see many little native children with hats and shoes This is a great advance, for when native fathers buy these things for their children, they do not buy a plurality of wives so easily. "In those days it was not the custom to let the native girls learn to read. Now when the missionary teachers go though the villages they hear the mothers say with much pride. There are the women who teach the children how to read. They are wonderful to them that their daughters can learn to read and write. "For years we lovingly and kindly cut all the fetish cords that our pupils had tied around their ankles and wrists. Such a custom could not be allowed in a Mission school that was trying to teach them to be Christians. The children soon learn to come to school. And now we seldom see them worn. "This year witnessed the first Sunday collection among the children. It was thought wise in former years not to ask this for the majority of them came from heathen homes. Now many fathers and mothers give Sabah offerings and it is a joy to watch the children as they too gladly give Scenes At Y. M. C. A. Camp River Cliff. BOATING AND SWIMMING OPENING OF Y. M. C. A. CAMP RIVER CLIFF Dr. J. J. J. Peters, Chairman of the Camp Committee of Pine Street Y, M. C. A., announces the opening of the second season of Camp River Cliff on July 22. He states that the enthusiastic satisfaction of one hundred and two boys and men who attended the first season (B24) has made it necessary to have a special men's session during this season. Why They Want It When 'teek' you want **Cliff Camp** or will tell you that C. R. C. is the finest summer camp in the world conducted exclusively for colored men and boys. The camp is situated six miles from the town of Bourbon Missouri, which is seventy miles from St. Louis, 'on the Frisco Railroad.' It comprises 65 acres of beautiful cliffs spacious camps and lovely streams. Its water supply is furnished by an excellent natural spring on the camp grounds, and those wonderful meals balanced and deliciously prepared by a Chef who knows, are the source of read pride to River Cliffers. Eight campers and a leader sleep in each screened cabin which is high and dry and the spacious oog todge. There are ten beautiful base ball field and well-attached and swimming. But chief of all is the fine spirit of the camp and the great joy and development in mind, spirit and body which every C. R. C. camp gets out of it. Besides the Cabin leaders, Camp Director and cooks, a regular physician is there for the protection of the campers' health and a Physical Director and swimming teacher to conduct health activities. Every boy and man in St. Louis should be anxious to take his vacation where nature is beautiful and fun and are wholesome and in 'abundance.' However only one hundred and fifty boys and men will have the privilege of attending Camp River Cliff this year and there will be many men and boys who make applications before all beds are taken. When They Go The first group of campers will leave St. Louis on the morning of July 22, for a ten day session for which each boy must pay $10.00 to cover his part of the cost of transportation and camp expenses. This session is especially arranged for boys 11 to 15, although older boys may attend.* Mr. Leon W. Steward, Director of Camp River Cliff, will be in personal charge of this session. **Men's Session** The camp will be open to men and their families during the first nine days of August. It will not be necessary for men to remain throughout the entire day and the rate of $1.25 per day per adult and $1.00 per child. Applications must be made to Mr. H. K. Craft, Executive Secretary of the Y. M. C. A. before July 26. **More Boys** A large group of younger boys under sixteen will leave for camp on the morning of August 10. Mr. James E. Cook, Associate Camp Director, will be in personal charge of this session, which will take two weeks. The regular older boys session will open on the 25th of August and close two weeks later on the Sunday before Labor Day. Only fifty boys have 15 years of age will be eligible for this session. Mr. Steward will be in charge. **Important** Any person who wants to attend earlier session is advised to make application as soon as possible. If you haven't an application, phone or email on James E. Cook, Ellenville县 Y. M. C. A. Club for Boys, Peddlers at St. Ferdinand (Lindell 3885) or Leon W. Steward, Pine St. Y, M. C. A. (Bomont 762). The Camp Committee consists of Dr. J. J. Peters, Chairman, Messrs. W. H. J. Beckett, W. A. Giles, W. C. Moton R. E. Osborne and G. H. Simpson. The Camp Medical Staff includes Drs. J. J. Peters, L. R. Dabbs and O. S. McClelland. One of these physicians will attend each camp session. Parents of boys who are not at attending summer school might well invest $10.00 in sending their boys to school. In July 22. The investment with willQ trust dividends in health, character, religious ideals and love for home. LOOKING BACKWARD TO JULY IN 1924 By Robert P.

A. C. P. Conference "Of all the words in the dictionary the one word which comes nearest to describing and comprehending the 'American Race Problem' is the word Segregation," declared William Pickens in an address before the 18th annual conference of the National Association in Denver. It is an effort to mark out and set aside an organic part of the community for separate and usually different treatment in church and state and industry.. "Altho the whole history of the south is abundant proof of the failure of this method as a solution for anything, the north in its human weakness is progressively imitating this bad example and preparing daily to fall into the same chame, which is an inferno of Jim Crowism, disfranchement and lynching. Segregation creates a dozen problems for every one it seems to solve. The new difficulties brought on by segregation are mutual unacquaintanceship of the segregated groups and consequent increased suspicion, jealousy, fear, prejudice, hate, and all the other spawn of this mutual ignorance. Every example illustrates the truth that the more segregation, the more trouble. In every northern center where segregation enables and inter-racial troubles increases for the most reason that segregation decreases the opportunities of the people to know each other, and better knowledge of each other is what they need in order to get along better together. Segregation proceeds on the queer logic that the less two people know about each other, the better fitted they are to live together. "When a disadvantaged minority is segregated, there seems to be the assumption that the interests of the segregated group are not related to those of the general community, and that the progress and success of the segregated group does not add to the sum of the general good. Therefore, we will point out, in aagle has benefited the whole nation and the entire civilization—in so far as the struggle has succeeded. "The fight of the black Americans against segregation of the ghetto type is making a contribution to the advancement of the status of American citizenship. Until 1917 any local legislative body, even a city council, could, by a simple majority vote, for "white and colored people to move into the same block or other territory. Such laws tend to create ghettoes for the minority group. In 1917 after a hard fought legal battle, beginning in the state of Kentucky, the colored people proved before the high tribunal that the nation that such tribunal is "be impolite and unconstitutional. This is another factory, not alone for the Negro it for American civilization, for it proves that the Gentiles cannot by law segregate Jews and that dominating protestants could not so segregate Catholics—and vice versa—Since this decision, however, middlevailists have burrowed from a new direction, making private agreements in contracts and deeds of sale to exclude some few examples, how the Negro strutperscribed from a specified territory; and when this private agreement is violated by any party to it, the others propose to use injunctions of the courts of all the people to enforce this privately determined" segregation. This attack on the integrity of American citizenship must be finally defeated. Such private agreements may not be constitutional, but the use of the power of whole people to enforce such contracts would only ought to be declared, in the light of 1917 decision, unconstitutional. If this victory is won, it will be a defense to all minorities, not only the Negro; if it is lost, it will be a loss to the dignity and worth of American citizenship. "And of all the contributions which the struggle of the Negro has so far made to his country, he is now. In a hard fight to make one of the greatest; namely, to keep the public school a common school—open to all the people, regardless of race or class. In the days of American reconstruction, black votes in southern legislatures helped to make the public school universal; and in the days of the twentieth century, black mothers and fathers, black educators, and sometimes by ligation of parents, are fighting to make the public democratic. If they succeed, they will finally establish the public school as the greatest American university, and our citadel of defense against race and group prejudice and other social superstititions. If under our constitution THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, JULY 10, 1925 TENNIS GROUNDS gro child, it must also be lawful to segregate the children of any other outvoted group or class. The Negro's tired and struggling body may be filling a flasure in the dam of our defenses against a whole flood of such caste legislation. And besides, every honestly maintained segregated school is both an economic and cultural loss. The morality as well as to the segregated minority as can be easily demonstrated. "Justice or injustice must be done to individuals and not to a race, for deeds affect the welfare of individuals, of one individuals, or of many individuals, but always of individuals. Race is one of those generalizations which we substitute for the bother of thinking. We cannot really hurt or help a race; it is individuals that we hurt or help, directly or indirectly. The individual is the personality, the race 'is' an idea, a conception, a fragment of thought and emotions. A race does not feel when we scorn it—the individual human object of our scorn feels it. Nobody ever lynched a race; in the name of race we may lynch some individuals and degrade others. No race can love and hate and aspire; those are attributes and activities of individuals. A race has no circulatory or digestive or nervous systems—so that we lay in the race when we try to starve a race, we but starve individuals; and when we offer insult, it is to individuals. Courts of justice, and deeds of justice must consider individual men. "We are trying to promote peace on earth. The greatest danger to future peace is insanity on this idea of race. If we carry a low concept of race in our dealings with individuals of that race, we will be continual disturbers of the peace. If we discriminate among men on the basis of race rather than on the basis of individual merit, we will have friction with every other man. But the end these same individual minds will be mining factors for war or peace, it is the mission of the Negro in America to prove that we cannot have jim-crowism, segregation, disfranchisement, inequalities of citizenship, and at the same time have justice, civilization and peace." The Lincoln Legion—Why? Preston News Service DES MOINES, Ia., July 8—After the close of the Great War—while the troops were awaiting transportation to America there was a great deal of talk by race officers and men as to what they would do to right the wrongs which had been inflicted upon them in France. It is not too much to say that ninety per cent. of the race personnel in the A. E. F. were deeply incarved and highly resolved to leave no stone unturned in order that future Negro soldiers would not be forced to submit to the humiliation they had suffered. Negro War Forgotten After War But with the return to civil life by far the most part of the half million Negroes who were members of the A. E. F. were forced to bend every effort towards economic readjustment and to regaining the financial losses occasioned by their entrance in the army. And so after a sporadic sputtering in various magazines and journals—the question was dropped and apparently forgotten. South Belittles Negro Soldier And yet there were unmistakable evidences that the "southern influence" the first opposed the creation of Negro officers was responsible for the cowardly indifference and persecution on the part of the High Command in France had not forgotten. It was early revealed that an attempt was being made to eliminate the Negro soldier from the fighting arm of the nation forever. Negro Soldiers-Make Record The 8th Illinois Regiment and the 15th New York whose records as fighters has not been excelled in the history of America, were federalized only after great pressure was brought to bear by those two states. Massachusetts and Ohio were informed that Negroes in the future were to be used only as stevedores and pioneer infantry, and even now the Negro militia units are not counted upon as combatant units in the 1st line of defense. More than nine since the war those Negro regular army troops the 24th and 25th infantries the 9th and 30th cavalry have been reduced in numbers, disarmed except for guard duty and have to all intents and purposes been eliminated from the army as fighting units. General Bullard and his ilk have almost succeeded in doing that which he in his article claimed was desirable, viz., the complete removal of Negroes as combat troops from the U. S. Army. No Place to Train Negro Officers Race youth are barred from West Point and Annapolis; race youth are forbidden to enter the tank corp aviation, artillery and other branches of the service; race youth in the next war will be condemned to build roads, warehouses, machine guns and drenched with poison gas; race youth will be compelled to do the scullion the thankless work of cool, armed with picks and shovels unless some pressure is brought to bear—unless some organization takes up the fight.

Second Section—Publicity RACIAL ISSUES IN CURRENT LITERATURE RACIAL ISSUES IN CURRENT LITERATURE BY DANIEL W. CHASE For the Associated Negro Press The Basis of Racial Adjustment The Menace of Color and Races, National publications dealing with problems of race assimilation in the United States The Basis of Racial Adjustment is by Thomas Jackson Woofer, Jr. Ph.D., who points out that there is no real race problem involved, the only thing necessary being to teach the two races how to live cooperatively and harmoniously. Dr. Woofer states that since the Civil War much has been said about cooperation between the races, and much more needs to be done. Education has made the colored people less dependent upon the white man, and the author states that as the facilities increase for fitting the colored man to be able to care for himself more, race relationships will be better. He does not believe in, nor does he see any danger in anmalgamation, and it is his opinion that miscegenation is on the decrease, neither race desiring it. The book will serve well as a textbook for teaching race issues and races are to dwell together and certain; other questions affecting our social conditions. Dr. J. W. Gregory, F. R. S., D. Secreally says that the Menace of Color, and declares that the migration of Southern Negroes to Northern Centers will make such a scarcity of labor in the South that it will be necessary to import cheap white laborers from Europe. He says that those coming from certain places along the Mediterranean Sea, where there is little feeling against the intermarriage with the black race might lead to a racial amalgamation, the consequences of which are difficult to predict. Dr. Gregory imagines, if these new comers marry Southern Negroes, the problem "would be one of even greater and graver import." However his book covers a wide range, and in speaking of persons of color, Dr. Gregory means all who do not belong to the white race. "The white race includes, with the exception only of the Lapps, all the Europeans and their descendants in other continents. The yellow or Mongolian race includes the people of Eastern, and Northern Asia, the Malays and the American Indians. The brown race includes all Asiatics who are not Mongolian, the Australian Aborigines, and the South Sea Islanders or Polynesians." Continue reading: "The Negro race includes all the frizzied-haired, thick-lipped, broad-nosed inhabitants of Africa and an off-shoot of the same race in New Guinea and further east in the Melanesian islands." However, Dr. Gregory believes that each race should work out its own destiny by itself, and to show that he is not alone in his belief, he quotes certain correspondence had by Herbert Spencer with Count Ito in 1882. He would relegate the white race to Europe, North America and Australia; the yellow and brown races to Asia, and the blacks to Africa. The book describes how Spencer and contains about two hundred and sixty pages. It is of value to students of sociology, especially as dealing with inter-racial relationships. "Races, Nations and Classes," by Herbert Adolphus Miller, in a fair, human treatment of the color question. He gives some ugly facts, but he states them in a way as not to arouse race prejudice. He has timely remarks, dealing with the Jews in Poland, well as throughout the world, the Poles in Germany, the Bohemans in Austria, the Koreans in their relation to Japan; the Negro in Africa and America, in relation to the civilization of the white man, the hamedan and the Christian, the Catholic and the Protestant, the capitalist and the laborer, all find a place in society, and classes. He believes in nationalism—a common language—and a breaking down of religious unity that stops this nationalism. Dr. MIl Above — THE "LODGE" Below — CABIN ROW her believes that the law has a fold mission: fostering of cultural idealism, of economic reorganization along international lines and of humanitarian and hereditarian tendencies of world-wide scope. The book is recommended for the reading table for it is both interesting and illuminating. It is from the press of J. B. Lippincott Company. BLOOOY DAYS Continued From Page Nine army and was wholly ignorant of army tactics, yet he was in command of a battalion when in the regular army he could not qualify as a first class private. He stated that Captain Peaks was in command of Company "K" which I had been commanding and that Captain Green was with Company "L", which I too was commanding at that very time. It developed later that Captain Peaks had been wounded on the morning of the 28th and I have described the wounding of Captain Green, who died later from the wound he had received and yet the Battalion Commander said he was receiving reports from them hourly, which shows just how much he knew of what his own command was doing. "Upon rejoining the company I found Company "M" moving up on my left, Lieut. Dent, of Washington, D.C, advancing in the middle of the Bernaville Road. Upon his arrival he informed me that he had received orders to move back. "After a short conference we decided the order at the present time was impracticable and we held what we had gained. I had received no such order. "I sent Lieut. Cross and Sergeant Collier to the front and right when they encountered the enemy attempting to move around my left flank and a hot fight took place. "I Lieut. Cross sent a runner requesting reinforcements as he was outnumbered. I sent Lieut. Crawford to support him, thereby weakening my front line. "I in turn sent a runner to Battalion headquarters requesting a barrage to help check the advance of the enemy. The runner returned at 2 p.m. with orders for the battalion to move out of the woods at double-quick time." Such an order I should explain would be detrimental to the morale of the men. Here they were fighting like hell and all its fury and gaining ground at every encounter, and an order comes to move out of the woods. "I counteracted the order with one to hold the line. All shells were falling behind us and we were advancing into the territory of the enemy. "Sergeant Collier returned with two prisoners and reported that the patrol had killed four Germans. "Again the enemy put down a barrage which fell in the valley, but we had crossed the valley and had taken the opposite position. Here we awaited orders from the Battalion Commander. "At 5:30 p. m. received orders from Battalion Commander that all officers report to headquarters. This command was sent direct to me. I told the runner to report that I had no officers and that my first Sergeant had been gassed and sent to the rear. The runner returned shortly and said "Captain Norris" said report to him at once." "I complied with this order and upon my arrival at the headquarters, I found Lieut. Cross Lieut. Cheers, and Lieut. Crawford there. The Bat tailon Commander said in a loud tone "You are all a bunch of cowards." Forgetting that I was a soldier and shaken by a superior officers, and remembering all his hardships and difficulties under which he operated and of our successes, I entered upon a trade against the ignorance and cowardice of this officer who dared to call us cowards. What I said was not entered in my diary but you may rest assured it was not my prayers. "The officer claimed that the men had run away and yet all of them were on the firing line on the north bank of the river. This was reported to him. He ordered me back to our companies, with instructions that hereafter all of his orders would be in writing." At 8:00 received orders to advance at 8:30. I pulled in my outpost and scouts and prepared for the attack. "Met the enemy about four hundred yards from our previous position and a battle commenced. The right flank was yet exposed, so I sent Sergeant Collier to cover it. "Again I sent a report to Major Norris telling him of the impracticability and impossibility of advancing with the right flank of the battalion exposed. He ordered a halt which was impracticable at this time as it destroyed the morale of the men. "The enemy had circled our right flank and was driving Sergeant Collier and his handful of men back. I changed front and directed my fire to the right flank and the enemy was repulsed. I then placed Lieut Cross on with instructions to be prepared for an attack of the enemy. "At eight o'clock with the darkness came a rain and an order from headquarters asking the whereabouts of my headquarters for the night should have given a definite location but replied here" on the line with these men. "At eight-thirty I observed all of the companies moving back and up on query Lieut. Dent told me an order had, come from the Battalion Commander as he had asked, for a barrage. Again I ordered the men to hold their position and went to battalion headquarters.
