DIES SAVE CHILD TRAPPED IN ELEVATOR
Colored Janitor Drops To Death After Clinging-To Bottom Of Cage The Girl Had Started
NEW YORK, Sept. 22—George Hall, a colored junior, was instantly killed Sunday, when he fell down an elevator shaft while attempting to rescue a nine-year-old white in the apartment house where, he worked at 522 West 183rd street. Hall dropped four fours, his skill being fractured in the fall, causing almost instant death.
Girl Starts Car
Hall, while repairing the elevator in the fatal shift, left the car strolling at the first floor level. He was lying on the floor in the elevator group working, when one of the group of small children was playing in the lobby discovered the open car and she. She was Marie Magnus, who lived with her parents in apartment 42. The curious child's hand fell upon the car controlled she had so often watched the elevator man operate when she rode up or down with her parents. She pressed the lever down and to her glee the car started upward.
Hall, seeing the car start and hearing the child's voice, suddenly realized the danger. With but one thought to save the child he sprang up and grabbed a bar under the ascending car. As the car went up he climbed to it shouting a warning to the child.
Misses Floor
At the fourth floor he noticed the door of the elevator was open as was the lever from the elevator shaft. Heaving himself in position, evidently to jump to the fourth floor as soon as there was sufficient space between the elevator floor and the entrance to the shaft, and then to jump into the car and stop it.
Hall made the leap for the fourth door, but he missed, and fell to the bottom of the shaft. An ambulance was rushed to the scene of the accident, but the colored man was dead when the ambulance surgeon reached him.
The car stopped automatically at fifth floor and the little girl stepped out unhurt, unaware that the lawtor had given his Efe in an attempt to save her.
Chi. Negro Rabbis Contend-They Are Only Real Jews
CHICAGO, Ill., Sept. 23—According to a report circulated here last week some Othodox Jews chanced to attend the services held in the Temple of the Gospel of the Kingdom at 1850 West Lake Street here and were amazed to hear the Negro Rabbi declare to the congregation, of several hundred, that they alone were the real Jews. A few weeks ago this congregation came into public attention when Mrs. Elizabeth Miller was brought to trial accused of solitizing funds under false pretences. Mr. David Lazuras and Rabbi Canio Stifom appeared in court in defense of the woman and their cause. It is reported that so convincing was the argument of the rabbis that the girl was released and she and her friends continued their work among the people of Chicago. It is said that services are held in the Temple at night only. During the day the rabbis are out soliciting funds for the maintenance of the temple and securing new members. According to Doorkeeper Dun, Rabbi Lazuras and Stifom came to Chicago a short time ago directly from Jerusalem where they learned the doctrine they are teaching. It is reported that New York City the congregation of several thousand members. The work in Chicago began four months ago and approximately four hundred persons have been converted.
It is said that at night the temple is filled with men on one side and women on the other. After the singing of several hymns, the two rabbis who are said to be very eloquent and able speakers deliver sermons laying down the truth to their hearers, and stressing the point that Negroes are the original Jews. It is also reported that a large number of gentle whites endeavor to attend the meetings out of curiosity. Some have even blacked their faces in order to attend the services.

CATHOLIC CON. CONDEMN RACE INTOLERANCE
Adopts Resolution On Race Relations, And Sympathy For Colored People Who Are Subjected To So Many Injustices. And Denied Constitutional Rights.
During the session of the Sixty-ninth General Convention of the Catholic Central Versus of America, presently held at Cleveland, O resolutions were adopted calling for stronger race resolutions, and expressing sympathy for the colored people who are subjected to so many injustices and denied their constitutional right.
Under the caption, "Race Relations," the resolution read:
"The spirit of the Constitution of our country makes for that true tolerance among our citizens which Christian, justice and charity join on all men. Human pride augmented by other passions, leads to a disregard of the rights of others and the obligations of brotherly love. Differences of race, color, language, wealth and social standing are stressed, leading to mutual dislike, distrust, social mistrust and even enmity and hideous crimes."
"Since the category of our country is made up of men of various races and nations, it especially behooves us to guard against the temptation of fostering racial strife, while we should do what lies in our power to promote peace and good will among all men, always ready to actively assist in the solution of our racial problems. Mindful of the fact that one of the first and foremost saints of the New World, St. Peter Claver, devoted his life to the Negroes, and that even ahead of such glorious martyrs as Isaac Jogues, an American Negro was beheaded by the Church, the blessed Martin de Porres, let us in a special manner devote our attention to devoting to the Negro race the rights guaranteed them by the constitution, but made to suffer slights and indignities which deeply offend them. They are our neighbors, both under the law of Christ and that of our country. We therefore wish to press on our members the obligation to labor for amicable race relations and to grant their assistance to all effort to bring them about."
RIOT IN PHILADELPHIA BEING RIGIDLY PROBED
PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Sept. 23. A right investigation of the race conflict in this city first week, in which Tenegos and several police were hurt, is being conducted by the police.
The outbreak occurred near Third and Wharton streets, a district that has been the subject of segregation controversies since the arrival of a good number of colored families. Joseph Sallard of 706 S. Eleventh St. who was rescued from the midst of the mobbists by Patrolman Stephen Selamack, has been released from the Mt. Sinai hospital. The patrolman is still suffering from a cut on his head received when struck by a milk bottle hurled by a white. Joseph Jackson, of 1333 South Third street, another colored man who was rescued by the police after a severe benton is recovering. The house from which shots were fired by a colored man to displace the mob has been under constant guard since the disturbance.
MOB FOILED BY SHERIFF
ASHVILLE, N. C., Sept. 23. While a lynching was being permeated in Mississippi Sunday night, one was barely averted in this state. A crowd of five hundred persons who stormed the Buncombe county jail in search of a Negro arrested on an assault charge was only frustrated, because the prisoner had been snuggled to another city by Sheriff Mitchell just 30 minutes before the mob formed.

INSANE YOUTH IS CLUBBED TO DEATH BY MOB
Chained To Tree And Pick Handles Used To Beat His Life Out. Authorities Fall To Arrest Slayers
Associated Negro Press
MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga, Sept. 23-
While White Dixon, inmate of the state sanitarium for insane persons located here, grimmed idiotically at his white captors and quirked in the same fashion, "What you all doing?" he was chained to a tree and beaten to death, near here, Sunday night.
Last Friday, Willis, in one of his customary spells of violence, had struck and finally wounded a white nurse at the sanitarium. Knowing that he was insane and therefore not responsible to law or society for his actions, the authorities sent him back to the colony farm Sunday.
Sunday night, following the evening services at the various churches, in which the doctrine of "Vengeance is Mine Sailh the Lord," is expounded and the commandment "Thou Shalt Not Kill Him" is issued to the Georgians imbued with the spirit of chivalry that permeates the Southland went to the state sanitarium and of course "over-powered" the guards, seized the insane Negro and carried him a short distance, where he was chained to a tree and beaten to death with pick handles.
The resounding whackes of the pick handles as they descended upon and crushed the victim's skull and the erie, distressing lies of the insane man, rent the air, strange to say, failed to arrest the people in the neighborhood, or did they attract the attention of the minions of the law, and little surprise was manifest when the lifeless and mutilated body of the Negro was found Monday morning.
"Georgia Justler" has been meted out to another Negro and as usual no arrests have been made in spite of the assumption that the guards at the institution, who are sworn to protect the inmates, but who were "over-powered," must have notified the city and county officers immediately of the removal of the inmate.
The body was left at the tree, where it was found. The pick handle was found nearby.
The corner jury returned a verdict that the Negro man death at the hands of party unknown.
No arrests have been made and officers said they had failed to obtain any evidence of the identity of the man who carried the Negro from the colony farm to the place where he was killed.
PEOPLES FINANCE CORP.
TO HAVE "NEW HOME DAY"
Sunday, Sept. 27, from 2 to 5 p.m. has been designated by the directors of the People's Finance Corporation as "New Home Day," at which time stockholders and the public generally will have an opportunity to visit and inspect the new building now in course of construction, from the basement to the fifth floor.

Therefore New Home Day was suggested to be one afternoon when all may see and inspect, unrestrained, every part of the building.
The chauffeurs Club band will furnish music for the passing crowd. There will be no speaking, no formal program, no delays. So when you are ready and stay as long as you please. The director will act as ushers and will be puttaking in showing you through. The band will furnish music from the fifth floor and/orium:
A picture of the visitors will be made.
RIDICULE PITTSBURGH'S NEGLECT TO PROTECT COLORED RESIDENTS
PITTSBURGH. Pa. Sept. 23. The action of the police here in arresting and abusing a highly respected colored family, because the mother of the fire fired a shot into the ground to frighten away white vandals, who attacked her home during her husband's absence. has, bright severe criticism in the Pittsburgh police department
The act was considered a lawful lation of duty: "A person has a lawful right to protect people and property from harm and it was evident that written intended to harm lophi. Nevertheless, the pol. allowed those bent on civil doing to escape and arrested and abused ones who were making a brave stand for their rights," said a statement condemning the arrests.

Carter, the parents of two small children, and sister of Mrs Carter, Miss Clara Johnson, victims of the offence, are making a brave fight in making a brave fight in their cozy little home: Duquesne Heights.

NEGROES LEFT AFTER DYNAMI TING OF HOMES
Other Projects Are Held Up Special Meetings Called To Work Out Solution To The Problem
CARUTIERSVILLE, Mo. Sept. 28. Several months ago reports came from Pemisot County of the dymming of Negroes' homes and many other misdramms that were being heaped upon them. Today that same district in southeast Missouri is paving for Negroes to come to its aid.
Need Colored Citizens
A particular crisis has arisen among the farmers of Pemisot County. They have suddenly discovered that they have a bumper cotton crop, but that those hands that planted and tended such fruitful plants have left abruptly their skillful aid could complete the task.
The abuse of the colored people led them to leave Pemisot County in large numbers to seek better environments. As a result, an acute shortage of help has accrued, and there is a danger of a loss of many thousands of dollars in raw cotton.
To Import Mexicans
Even though thought of prices have been offered for cotton pickers in Pemisot County few colored persons have responded. The situation has got so serious that a mass meet of cotton farmers was called at the courthouse in 4185 city, Saturday. As a last resort, it was decided to import 500 Mexican cotton pickers from Texas. Each farmer will take a number of these pickers and pay their transportation.
Other Projects Hindered
Not only has the cotton crop here suffered due to the absence of colored workers, but other projects have also felt the need. The building of the concrete road in the county has practically been discontinued, and a government reveting project about miles north of Caracas has been greatly impeded. The shortage of help has forced the price of cotton seed to $2.35 a hundred pounds of seed cotton, which many of the planters consider a prohibitive price. Nevertheless, Mexico seems the closest market for help for Pemex of County.

GOVERNOR SCORES MOB
Believed To Have Confessed Crime To Save Three Other. Negroes Held By 1000 Fiendish Whites.
NEW ALBANY, Miss., Sept. 23.—I watched a negro burned at a Rocky Ford, Miss. Sunday afternoon. I watched an angry mob chain him to an iron stake, watched them pile wood around his helpless body. I watched them pour gasoline on this wood. And I watched three men set this wood on fire. So wrote J. L. a correspondent for the "Memphis Schmidt" in giving an account of the lynching of L. Q. Ivey, a colored lumberjack near here last Sunday afternoon.
Vickim Prayed
"I stood in a crowd of 600 people as the flames gradually crept nearer and nearer to the helpless negro. I watched the blaze climb higher and higher, without mercy. I heard his cry of agony as the flames reached him and sat his clothing on fire."
"O. God, Oh. God!" he shouted, didn't do it. Haye mercy. He leaped higher. The negro trugged. He kicked him. From his foot he kicked it held his waist and neck against the iron post that was becoming red with the intense heat.
"Have mercy, I didn't do it," he shouted again.
"You should have thought of this before," someone shouted from the crowd. There was an instant of silence. Then several voices raced in agreement. Nowhere was there a sign of mercy among the men of the mob no matter how they seemed to regret the horrible thing they had done. The necromachic had supposedly sinned against their race, and he died a death of torture.
"Soon he became quiet. There was no doubt that he was dead. The hames jumped and leaped above his head. An odor of burning flesh reached my nostrils. I felt suddenly sickened. Through the leaping blaze I could see the negro sagging and supported by the chains. "Woman speculator "
"The getting was a little sawmill. The crowd stood on a huge pile of sawdust and the negro's death prow was in a small gulley beside it. They calmly watched the flames leap and dance. There was no talking now, everything was silent. "
"When the first odor of baking flesh reached the mob there was a slight stir. Several men moved nervously. "
"Let's finish it up," someone said. "Instantly about 12 men stepped from the crowd. They piled wood on high. The negro was already blazing, but more wood was piled on the flames. They jumped higher, and higher. Nothing could be seen now for the blaze encircled everything. "
"Then the crowd walked away. In the vanguard of the mob I noticed a woman. She seemed to be rather young, yet it is hard to tell about women of her type; strong and healthy, apparently a woman of the country. She walked with a firm even stride. She was beating a way. Crime "
"The crowd walked slowly away, I'm hungry, someone complained. Let's get something to eat." I'm hungry, too; said another.
"We'll have to go to New Albany, someone said. We've bought out all the food in the Rocky Ford stores." "We might go to Myrtle," said another.
"The crowd loaded into automobiles. The negro, who was still chained to the white hot stake with the red-blue flames leaping about him, was forgotten. The crowd was hungry and was going in search of food.
Girl Failed to Identify
"A white girl was criminally assaulted in a pea field Friday morning by an unknown negro. He lay in the woods. The police sheriff began a case and captured L. Q. Ivy, who denied having anything to do with the attack.
"He was taken to Tupelo for safekeeping. Rocky Ford citizens went into court and obtained a writ forcing the sheriff to return the negro to

THE OLYMPIA
"The Iron Horse" a Wm. Fox special, will be presented at The Olympia Theatre on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. The production is highly interesting and extremely impressive picturization of the building of the first transantional railroad, with an attendant romance involving George O'Brien, who is romantic and a good fighter, and Mudge Bellamy, who is lovely. It tells the story of the union of the railroads completing the link which bound the east and west in 1860. Scenes show the Union Pacific and Central Pacific engines meeting at Promontory Point, Utah, and others depict the life of the rail builders on the prairies. There are Indian attacks, a stampede of bulls, gorgeous photography, many fights and a great deal of delightful humor as well as blessing romance, well told.
Another big feature for Tuesday and Wednesday will be "Don Q. Son of Zorro," starring Donglas Fialkins, nssisted by Lottie Pickford, Jack McDonald and Mary Astor. The story is a colorful adventure-romance. Don Q. is sent by his father from California to Stain to complete his education, and becomes, through a combination of circumstances, an national honor, the time of another combination of circumstances, he is ac
he is named by his father. But not
before he is exciting series of events
transpire to thrill even the most
blade, blade.
"Night Life of New York" will be the Thursday special; and "Old Home Week," the attraction for next Thursdays.
THE CASINO
Bill Cody in "Love on the Rio Grande," a western drama that contains thrilling stunts of death defying daredevilry, will be the Casino Theatre attraction on Saturday.
Maurice "Leffy" Flynn will be featured in "High and Handsome" on Sunday and Monday. As Officer Hanrahan, a modest, courageous, gentle patrolman who will sacrifice even his great love, for pretty Marie LeChau, if he thinks it is for her hardiness, Mr. Flynn will be a character who alternates lives and breathes on screen. Two soul-suilting light scenes, crammed with concentrated drama every foot of the way, are some of the outstanding features of the production. Plenty of comedy and a corking supporting cast go far toward making this picture a triumph.
Bill Sullivan in his first big prize fight feature picture, "The Fear Fighter," will be the Tuesday special: Tom Tyler, a new cowboy star, will be introduced in "Let's Go Gallagher," on Wednesday. Capt. Nugesser, the noted air ace, will be starred in "The Sky Raider," on Thursday. The special next Friday will be "Lost, a Wife."
THE LINCOLN
Laura La Plante will be seen in "The Teaser," at the Lincoln Theatre this Saturday. It is a lifting comedy romance laid about a pregy girl's penchant for flirting, a love affair with a cigar salesman and the opposition of an aristocratic family—and the struggles of the lifelong peruvian to learn etiquette and place himself on the plane of the social butterfly. "The Fool" will be the Sunday attraction. It is based on a vital theme which probes into the heart of humanity and reveals hypocrisies of the day. Among the characters of the man who tried to be like Christ, a girl who tried to be him, but lowed the good things of this, world too much; a rich man's son who thought him a fool and a young wife whose advent ended on the scarlet side of Broadway.

cars and followed. At a bridge an attempt was made to block the road, but it failed. The officer's car sped on, outside the city limits of Myrtle the officers found two cars across the road. They were forced to stop. The mob surrounded them. Several pistols were drawn but no shots were fired. The caravan of cars started toward Rocky Ford.
Saved Pals
"At Rocky Ford they took the negro to a desert barn, where he refused to confess. He refusal. He was beaten, suspended from a rafter, by the neck and mutilated with fire and kalves, but still he maintained his innocence.
"Satisfied of his guilt, the mob took him to the sawmill. While men were driving the iron post in the ground to which they were to chain the negro, he was taken to the top of the sawdust pile.
"The negro stood on top of the pile with his head bent and prayed. Then he was asked if he wished to confess. He admitted to the crowd that he was guilty and confessioning told the details of the crime.
"Then he was chained to the stake and the fire lighted. He screamed twice, denying his guilt, and then he was stilled.
"The mob talked, of burning three other negroes whom Ivy had implicated, in his confession before the blaze was lighted. But Ivy's horrible death apparently satisfied it, and no further lynchings were attempted."
Ivy is believed to have confessed, after much torture, when he saw there was no way out of death, in order to save the three other Negroes who were held like himself in connection with the crime. In his said confession he is alleged to have taken the entire blame for the crime.

A coroner's jury which investigates the lynching of lvy, returned a verdict that he came to his death at the hands of a mob, the members of which were not known. The charcoal remains were buried Monday.
Judge Thomas B. Pegram of the third judicial district, announced Oxford, where he is holding a court term, that the lynching would be made the subject of a rigid grand jury investigation, either in the regular term or in a special session. He had not decided whether a special court term would be called. The next regular session will convene in January.
JUNIOR IDEAS Edited By LORETTA E. OWENS
EDITOR'S NOTES.
The Fate Of the Disobedient Son
Chapter 4
It was in a lounge on Broadway in New York that John met the catastrophic of his "brightlight" enjoyments. He was seated at the table with some young ladies when a live selection of young ladies and a few men entered as hosts and hostesses. He was informed by the waiter that the evening was to be spent in John Heathwood's honor, and that the program would pour out of music, dancing, song, thinking and toasts. The guests which had just centered were Misses Dumante, Good Time, Lightingers, Mr. Jazz and Mr. Tin.
Each of the guests introduced himself, giving an introduction which corresponded with his name. Miss Dumaine introduced many glamours not known to other guests. Miss Good Times assisted all of enjoyable evening with her entertainment. Miss Dumaine is pictured that her fingers moved lightly over everything she touched; while Mr. Jazzy was the jazz music of the occasion, and last, was Mr. Gin, who was perpetually in taxedable. Mr. Gin, of course, concluded "With a rebuking, stinging" He said.
At Johns command, the waiter in five bottles of wine and two bottles of campaign. The campaign was preferable for Miss Lightingfinger, who had beginged it instead of wine.
In the midst of the enjoyment, eating, drinking and toasting, a shot was tired among the guests. Everyone became excited and a majority of them lied from the bathroom through the windows. The waiter excitedly entered and bagged everyone to leave because a man had been killed and two bodies wounded, and the police were raiding Broadway. "Please hurry, and save yourselves from disarray," he said.
Everyone hurried from the rooftop except John and Miss Lightingfinger. John was too intoxicated to help himself, and in a protest to be helping him the moved slowly across the floor.
Haltaway to the door John became uncontrollable and refused to go a step further. Miss Lightingers dropped him in a chair and said she was going because the police were coming. Before leaving, however, she relieved him of two hundred thirty-five dollars. The waiter, coming back into the buffroom found John there along and put him into a closet in the back room to hide him from the police. During the search he was overlooked, and upon basking soler (somewhat) he left the buffroom.
Read the conclusion next week.
(Chapter 5)
ORATORICAL CONTEST
7 What Shall the Harvest Be?
We who have passed through gren-
mary school remember our years and
the happy times they have held
some mischievous punks, thieves,
good friendships made, the sympa-
thetic leadership of our teachers.
It is also good to know that our memori-
ies are happy ones.
If we overcome latex tasks that are
set before us aid the wholesome back
ground of our "good times." it be
comes a natural part of ourselves.
Then we may have a dependable equi-
ment for the future into which we
start so early. It is to our teachers
we owe this development.
I school we have gone to our teacher with receptive minds, fallow fields ready for sowing. In them she has planted the seeds of knowledge and that understanding which is so much more than knowledge alone. As she spreads out before us the fundamentals of education, we not only absorbed facts, but have put ourselves more and more in accord with the wide world.
We should strive to attain character it would include the qualities of industry, honesty, courage and self-shelfiness. It was Jasperian Frank Linus who said "Short makes all things difficult, our industry all easy." By his faithful adherence to that then, he leaves from a poor and friendless stranger in old Philadelphia to a chief pillow in the countryside his country, from a simple workman to a stalagmine whose industry with companions the respect of this world. In industry cannot make Franklin of all of us, but it can so far on the road to successful careers.
The first step toward greatness is to be honest according to the proverb "Honesty is the best policy." Not honest because it is in a motto, but because it is our desire to be so. The most illuminating stories of Abraham Lincoln as a boy deals with his high sense of honesty.
Courage should be the attribute of every American. It was the dominating virtue of the pioneers. Courage won the American Revolution. It was a part of the character of every man who believed in fortune or fortune. This does not mean physical courage alone, but the courage that is represented in sustained efforts as well. It is courage that makes man trustful, that makes man just, that makes him free from his duties in face of obstacles. If men and women do not have this virtue, they cannot succeed in any branch of life.
Unselfishness is a necessary requirement for the man or woman who wishes to be of value to his or her community. We must sacrifice ourselves if we hope to achieve anything. We cannot gain without giving. The pioneers in America gave their lives to counter the wilderness, but they gained for us the most valuable country in the world.
The men who signed the Declaration of Independence were risking their lives and not for themselves but for the good of the future generations. The soldiers who died at Valley Forge, Gettysburg, or in France were not seeking material reward. They knew the success of this nation depended on their sacrifice.
If we are to do our share of ser-
vice in this world, we must be prepared to make sacrifices, to be unselfish. If we strive earnestly to develop the four virtues—industry, honesty, courage and unselfishness—those who have helped us will feel that their work has not been in vain, and that the harvest is worthy.

THE DEAD
By Thos: Atkins
The dead are gone, the dead are gone
But here a while their bodies lie
Without a sight, without a groan.
Just as the life from youth sapless
died.
To leave it large, delicate and all
alone.
With spirit down and from their bodies free.
To try the air and find another zone.

JUDGE TERMS KISSING A CRIME
RALEIGH, N. C., Sept. 13 — When one of Raleigh's alert police officers discovered Graham Humphries, white, seated in an automobile, amorously kissing Miss Rosella Fralin; also while he arrested the couple and had then carried to the city jail. They were given a hearing before Judge W. C. Harris, who although there is no statute forbidding public kissing, held that the couple had committed a misdemeanor, no matter if the girl was willing and fined the young man ten dollars.
Honesty seems to bar a man from getting an office where he can use it.

Ohio Delegation Arrives at Poro Devotional Services On Train
Thirty-two Poro Representatives from Cincinnati and Cleveland, under the leadership of Mrs. Vlianan Potee, a Poro Demonstrator, arrived at Poro College Monday morning to spend ten days reviewing the work of the Poro System: Every Poro Representative has the privilege of coming to the College once a year and staying, free of charge, for ten days in order that she may become more proficient in her work and at the same time learn more about the institution of which she is apart.
Services On Train
Traveling in special Pullman, the Poro Representatives carried out the idea of morning warship which prevailed in the parent organization by holding services on the way. Their tercent singing moved the conductor to come in and ask permission to speak words of commendation, telling the group a precedent worthy of omulation had been set.
Arrive at Poro
Machines from the Poro Automotive Department brought the ladies to the College where they were welcome by Mrs. Annie M. Malone and cordially greeted by members of the Poro staff who had arranged for her comfort.
On the following morning the delegation was introduced to the Poro Family by Mrs. Potee and given a hearty ovation. A feeling of reverence, mingled with joy, permeated the very being of all present as the ladies expressed their gratitude for having been able thru the Poro System to make the trip to their "home." A special program in connection with a graduating exercise was given in the auditorium Friday noon and later in the evening, after business meeting, the Ohio Delegation was introduced to the Poro Representatives of St. Louis.

LACK OF KNOWLEDGE OF CONSTITUTION A MENACE
LACK OF KNOWLEDGE OF CONSTITUTION A MENACE
NEW YORK, Sept. 23—Joseph T. Cashman, and opponent of radicalism in America, addressed the Exchange Club of New York at a luncheon in the Hotel McAlpin, Saturday. He spoke on the Constitution and its importance to American citizens.
"It is a sharp commentary on the intelligence of the people of the United States that they know so little about their Government," he said, "for few of the people of this country understand the Constitution and what it has done for them since its adoption 138 years ago; today. Even the leaders in Government do not understand it.
"The principal thought connected with the Constitution is the safeguarding of human rights, the freedom of the individual and the establishment of a Government which may be changed, when the necessity arises, by legal means only."
"In the first seventy-five years after the adopting of the Constitution, the people had a fair knowledge and understanding of it. It is a noteworthy fact that in this period the people let well enough alone. With the exception of the Bill of Rights, contained in the first eleven amendments, and the changes in the method of electing the President and Vice-president, the Constitution remained as it had been adopted. After the Civil War, The Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments were adopted. And since that time, as the racial complexion of our population has changed, there has been a constantly decreasing understanding of the Constitution."
After clinging figures on the percentage of citizens who vote Mr. Cashman said they showed clearly "the lack of interest our people have in their Government," and that "we are rapidly drifting into a very dangerous condition, for this Government is absolutely dependent on the people for its efficiency."

STARS WIN TWO GAMES FROM THE MONARCHS
St. Louis Stars Surprise Wiseacers of Baseball and Gain Advantage In Championship Series
NEXT GAMES AT CHICAGO
Use Of White Umpires Here Brings Protest At Start Of Series. Doubleheaders May Be Necessary To Get Out Of Way Of World Series.
The St.-Louis Stars defeated the Kansas City Monarchs in two of the first three hard contest for the National League championship and in doing so, upset the dope of most of the wildeacres of baseball. Many writers and critics were loath to concede the St. Louis boys more than a subtle victory in the series.
Manager Taylor's youngsters came near making it three straight. If Barnes had not had an off day in throwing, and Bobo had not been caught happing off first in Saturday's game there might have been another tale to tell. As it was, the Monarchs were victors Saturday to 8 to 6, Good pitching by Davs on Sunday, backed by brilliant defensive and a smashing offensive by his teammates enabled the St. Louis club to win 6 to 3. Rain prevented the third game until Wednesday when Brown held the champions to five hits and won a 3 to 2 dudder.
Disappointment Mara Opening
The fans were wrap in the thrill of championship preliminaries on Saturday and with subdued excitement were waiting the call of 'play ball' when two white umpires walked out on the field to dampen their ardor and marr an otherwise perfect day. It had been their overwhelming hope that colored umpires would officiate, and the change to white was disappointing. The officials: Castello and Moore brought from Chicago, were greeted with hisses, boos and catcalls, but the start of the game put a check on their ire and nothing further unpleasant happened. The umpliring was almost fault less and there was no cause for complaint on decisions.
The Stars and Monarchs left for Chicago Friday where they are scheduled to play on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. The date for the opening of the World Series, Thursday, October 1, bids fair to conflict with the finishing of the league series and it may be necessary for the present contestants to play one or more doubleheaders to get out of the way. After the three games, the team will decide where to play the remaining games. Either Kansas City or Chicago will probably be selected.
The Monarchs were victors in the first game 8 to 6. The champions started, off in the first iming with two runs. Allen got a hit over base and base and secreted a Moore drove the ball to the right field corner for three bases. Moore went over the plate while Watts was throwing Joseph out at first. The Monarchs scored again in the third and fourth. Jenny getting a home run via the car barn in the third; and Mothel, who had walked, scoring in the fourth when Wells nuffed Hawkins' grounder.
The Stars brightened up in their half of the fourth and got three runs. Wells and Bobo singled, but Bobo was caught napping of first. Barnes long drive got away from McNair and it went for a triple, scoring Wells. Crecy got his base on halls and Russell sent in two more runs with a double to right.
The Stars tied the scout in the sixth when Wells sent one on top of the barn for the circuit. The Monarchs came back in the seventh and took the lead when Johnston's double drove in, Duncan; but the Stars tied it up in their half when Redus tripped and went home on Watts' grounder. The eighth inning saw the Monarchs take the lead that won for the game. Two runs were made on Alen's single hit by Moore's "car ban" however, and made a run on Bell's single and good base running, which enabled him to score on Bob's hit over second.
The clubs went into the ninth inning 7 to 6 in favor of the monarchs Duncan, first up, for a home run, also via the barn, for the Monarchs. Russell Redus and Murray went out in succession in the St. Louis half and the game ended 8 to 6. Watts' fielding was a feature of the game. He scooped a fine drive off Johnston's but that brought the crowd to it feet. Russell also made a leaping catch of Moore's fly in right field.
Stars Triumph Sunday
The Stars took the second game from the Monarchs, Sunday, 6 to 3, and evened the series. Davis pitched a killing ball, allowing only one hit from the first to the sixth innning. Only five hits were made off his drevery, the entire game before retreated, to stop a rally, in the ninth. The Kansas City pitchers were not so effective. Dean was found for seven hits, meeting four runs, and one hit in the fifth; who retreated the side after walking Russell and being hit by Redus Drake 'took the mound in the sixth and held the Stars safe after Bob singled to right and drove in Belt Kansas. City rallied, in the eighth when Drake put the ball on the car barn for a circuit, and, in the ninth when Hawkins' two baggers tallied Morlet.
The game was one of the hardest played on the local grounds and the holders were constantly pulling the sensational. Jim Bell was the bright star and his fielding robbed the champions of several extra base hits. Boo had a perfect day, getting a double and two singles out of three times up. Rogan, batting for Mendez in the sixth, drew a pass and was in enough to break the line of goose eggs his club was gathering, when Mooro singled through second.

Stars Make It Two Straight
In a game replete with pitching skill, St. Louis won the odd game Wednesday by a three to two count. This game had been delayed two days on account of rain. Brown, for the Stars, and W. Bell, for the Mounchars, engaged in a pitcher's battle, the former allowing five hits and the latter four hits.
Kansas City was the first to score, getting a run in the first inning on a base on balls to Johnston, a sacrifice, and errors by Wattie and Bobeo.
St. Louis tied the score in their half of the fourth, when Crennay connected, for the Stars' first bit of the game, with a home run to the barn top.
The Stars added a second run in their half of the fifth, on a single by Retius, a wild pitch, and J. Bell's double against the car barn.
Kansas City knotted the count, at two all, in their half of the seventh. Swatt led off by being hit by a pitched ball. A single by Duncan, a pass to W. Bell, tilted the toss. Johnston fled out to J. Bell in short center, who made a perfect throw to Murray, killing Swatt at the plate trying to score after the catch. After, however, came through with a single to right, which scored Duncan. The Stars scored their winning run in the eighth when J. Bell led off with a single advanced to second on Weil's sacrifice and scored when Moore missed up Bobo's grounder and threw his first.

BASEBALL FANS RESENT USE OF WHITE UMPIRES AT ST. L. STAKS PARK
BASEBALL FANS RESENT USE OF WHITE UMPIRES AT ST. L. STAKS PARK
BV DR JAS E WHITE
Last Saturday afternoon I was one fan among about three thousand officers who went to see the Stars play the McNearches of Kansas City, at the Stars' home park this city. Accompanying me were two attorneys, a druggist, a N. Y. M. C. A. staff member. We were eager to see the contest which was expected to be keen for the championship of the National Negro League was at six between two teams in the decryption great and the high as we rushed to the gate to buy tickets, to be on time for the game before the impulse called "play ball." Not even the unexpected increase in the admission price could dampen our enthusiasm. Even the momentary disappointment at the small crowd for the occasion was soon lost in the fuel that it enabled us to secure good seats for the game. As we sat there and watched our dogs in clean uniforms we were thrilled to see them in action, full of energy and full of confidence, and ready to go to the crowd of four and hope and thankful in words of confidence for the home team, enthusiasm seemed to be contagious and to run riot. It was evident that they were out to see and to help the home team win. Then suddenly there fell on the crowd an unlucky hush, there was a gasp as for breath one could sense that something had happened or was wrong. Then all eyes were turned toward the "drug" from where two white men were emerging in uniform of umpires. Then as if by a signal, simultaneously there was hissing, catches housing and then the disapproved and disgust at what they realized, for these two white men were to impure the game, a game between two Negro clubs, in a Negro Park and where ninety-nine out of every hundred persons, who had paid to see the game were colored.
The writer was thrilled as he never was before to see a crowd so aroused and indignant over, what they fell was a deep insult to their manhood and race pride. The atmosphere was charged and tense with feeling of infared humiliation, and they voiced it by yelling: "take them out, we want our own coerced unpriests, they are not ours, we want one with an ounce of pride and manhood could not help but admire the honorable stand these fans took.
When one stops, to think what it is all about, it does make him reflect seriously on the situation. Here in St. Louis, Mo. of 100,000 Negroes, where race pride and loyalty is being preached and taught, by our business men and leaders from the pulpits and just when our group is beginning to appreciate what it means to come together and stand up for things that are upholding and upholding. To think that this foundation and the progress that took so long to make would be shaken and undermined and by some of our own business men and those we were not only permitting but offering this insult to every decent and loyal Race loving individual of our group here, by bringing out white unpipes to oblige, is rather disinterested to say the least.
Why is it done? Perhaps the defense—indeed, if those in authority feel that the public in general and the fans in particular, are entitled to an explanation—will be that the colored umplies are not efficient. That is the same cry and excuse we have been using in the past, and the unwillingby of passing consideration, not only by every thinking Negro, but even by the owners of the base ball team in question, by saying that we must help one another by giving them a chance. The Negro in the Grocery and Dry goods business could not compete with others if we did not patronize them; the Negro Lawyer was not a victim of this, and become more skilled if we did not give them an opportunity by employing their services; our Negri business men and institutions would not grow and develop and succeed, unless we helped them by our contributions and cooperation. Then how and why is the same nat true with our umplies? We must help them in the first place, my first time to see or hour of a colored umplie officiating at a league game where both teams were white. No matter how efficient he may be, certainly they are not going to let him do so to touch him the game. Then how in the..., high heaven is he to learn? Our duty is plain. As the best white umplies have been at them, let us train them more effectively.
Perhaps another defense for this insult heaped upon us will be that Mr. Andrew, Foster, better known as "Rube", is to blame as president of the National Negro League. Well, from past experience, we know well that backs it has built for carrying heavy loads but it would be manifestly too cowardly a thing to hide behind or unload on him this instance for it would be like adding insult to injury to admit that one man in Chicago or any place can and should be guilty of 100,000 Nerries in St. Louis regulating their sentiments and customs.
It is rather like the Southern white man in France during the World War, trying to tell the French people how to treat the Negro. The French presented the interference as much as the insult the Southeasters offered in trying to change their policies and attitude toward us. No individual, regardless of the position he may happen to be holding, can be bigger than, and ignore, with whom he is dealing; he must yield to the sentiment and customs of those people—that is if he is sensible and hopes to be successful in his efforts.
Now there may be many reasons why this thing happened also various excuses and perhaps some of which may seem justifiable, but after the experience of last Saturday at the ball park, there should be no sense reason to doubt or any excuse to offer why the same thing would ever happen. If the owners of the ball park among the owners of the Sharp those buff team who has not enough vision to use it and enough common sense to realize—even if from a selfish point of view—that it would be just plain good business not to repeat that offense, then the loyal fans in particular and our group in general ought and I believe will not stand for continued rejection of those humiliations and will show it by their failure to support the team and enrich the own things in the games whenever the team is to be official white umpies to the exclusion of our own, unless there is a good and sufficient reason for same.
We are with the Stars and their owners and hoping they will win the pennant race and the world's championship too, but if winning the pennant means that some of the world's series games, will be played here and with white gimpress offending, we would rather see them lose the pennant race while they are away and we retain our self respect at home. At heart a loyal fan but foremost a Race man.
FOOTBALL
SUMNER HIGH SCHOOL
The Summer High School football team is reported coming along. In fine shape Coach Rockett is very much encouraged over the new candidates. Forty-three men answered the first call.
The old letter men, who returned are: McCray, H. Green, M. Green, Baker, Gordon, Wilson, Rankin, Rhodes, Parker, Quinton. With so many veterans back, and an abundant supply of rookies, it is expected that Sumner will have a great team this year. Much is anticipated from Blackshear and Homer, two new tackles, Graham, Parker, Callendar and Pruttt are others that look good. The first scrimmage will be held in the fall of 1925-1926 schedule is the heaviest that Sumner has undertaken in years. The schedule includes:

LINCOLN UNIVERSITY
Lincoln University, Jefferson City, Mo. With the first football game to be played October 2 L. U. football practice was begun Tuesday September 22 with A. E. Morris as head coach. Early in September Coach Morris issued a call for football candidates. Tuesday, September 22. Sixty-three candidates including fourteen letter men responded on the field. Sixty-three candidates are the best recruit in the school. Prospects for good teams are very promising. Much time of the first week will be devoted to grass drill, blocking, tackling and handling the ball.
This is Coach Morris' first year at Lincoln but he has with him that Michigan U system which means a great year at Lincoln University for football. Coach Morris has had frequent conference, with Captain Robinson concerning plans of the coming season. Lincoln University is proud of having Coach Morris as head of the quad of '25.

WILBERFORCE
By Wilberforce Press Service
Wilberforce, Ohio — Football pros.
specify at Wilberforce for the coming
season look very bright and promising.
Wilberforce is confident that its own will be held against all opponents. Such tennis are on its schedule as Howard, Lincoln, Morris Brown of Atlanta, Ga., Simmons and West Virginia.
Four players have been lost to the team in the mention of end. held by Seeger Brown, captain of last win readily be filled by King Cullen, former Atlanta University end, or Country Lewis of basketball fame
With the line intact to the exception of left guard which may be a little weak, the back field comes up for question. With the shifting of Wu Fang to the backfield, Wilberforce can boost of a better and a more powerful backfield of any colored school in the country with
no exceptions to a lot of white schools
Tuskegee Inst., Alabama — Two weeks of daily grind on Washington field has worked wonders in the Crismon team. Promising new material has shown up on the gridiron and several old men have joined the squad. The coaching staff has been completed by the addition of George W. Goodwin one of Tuskegee's greatest fullbacks, who will lead the team in the next season. T. C. Myers, who has entered Columbia University; J. E. Fields, former varsity tackle of the Wilberforce University team, will handle the reserve material, and Edward L. Pabstor of Hampton Times twice assist John Brown, former Virginia Union star, with the linc. Brown has been appointed assistant to Cleve L. Abbott, head coach.
The new men who have joined the squad are: Prater, Taylor, Crawford, Gilder, Kirkland, Bibb Palmer, Shanklin, Adams, and Willis. The team continues to loom above mediocrity.
The line has been strengthened by the return of Kitchen captain of the 1923 team: Duncan, end, captain of the 1924 champions, and William Harris of Chicago, Illinois, the driving tackle of the 1923 team. Faulkner, who was slightly ill in the early season has sufficiently recovered, and Mr. Kentucky improvement is noted in his kicking and at this time he is out-distancing Stevenson. Tuskegee's triple-threat man.
The opening game, on September 26, will be played with the strong 24th Infantry team of Ft. Benning, Georgia, in the $50,000,000 Alumni Bowl. Captain Eberlee, U. S. Army, is a graduate of the University of Washington, and who was of Glenn Boling's famous halfbacks, is coaching the army team. He has a record of never having played on a team that lost and he boasts of the fact that the teams he has coached have always won.
HOWARD
Washington, D. C.—A squad of over forty men, including a number of the veterans of last year reported to Coach Watson Monday, Sept. 14th. Many new prospects from the leading high schools of the country have reported and are showing wonderful progress in the workouts. Until college opens, October 1st, Coach Watson is to hold daily workouts of the most rigorous kind in order to get his men in condition for the season's big program of games. No time is being lost and no effort is spared by the Coach and his assistant, Charlie West, for Coach Washington and Jefferson, for to assure this year we have more formidable football machine than those of
With the passing of Priestley, star center of the past two seasons, the coaches are eager to develop several men for this position. It is gratifying to note the progress made by Kelly, Martin and Burrell, all of whom played play positions in former seasons. Most of the veterans of the past years were among candidates last week. Among them, Captain Long, Joe Dodson, Harry Bright, Lester Braden and Bill Mconey.
MOREHOUSE
Fall practice started Saturday, the 19th. The rookies came out strong and Coach Harvey is trying hard to put the old pop into the gang; but it seems the boys are affecting the boys. They just don't seem to put the fight in if that they should. Anyway, we'll hope for the best.
The new locker and shower room has been completed and - we don't need to add that they are great. The fellows will find them much more convenient than the old ones in Graves and about 100 feet of the old bunch is coming back. "Red" Williams, the big varsity center, was jald up last season in the Benedict game with a badly injured knee, and won't be able to stand much rough stuff this season, but the plucky sub Shegman, fool his place and the HKH a veteran and year-Sherman is unhappy the best man in view for the position of snapper-back. Tondee, one of the famous 'Horsemen,' had a broken ankle from baseball practice, and won't be able to come out this year. This severe loss to the HKH because Tondee is especially valuable man for playing the ends. His end always netted a gain and the team will be, considerably handicapped by his present inability.
All the rookies 'Horsenice' are back and rarin' to go. Clark, Ariel Rogers and Walker were all on the campus two weeks before school opened getting in form for the season.
Star and Allen will show up later and report for the ends, and "Key West" Irving and Cooke are expected to take their old positions in the fackles. It is doubtful as to who will hold down the guards. There are so many big men managing the rookies, as yet who are selected, but Lattimer and Dooley seem to have a fighting chance.
Without a doubt, Scott will sell
out signals, again this year, and
Dago will certainly keep the old
full-back going tomorrow.

A HOME RUN THAT
WAS NOT A HOME RUN
A HOME RUN THAT
WAS NOT A HOME RUN
BALTIMORE, Sept. 18. — One of the rare plays that are seldom witnessed by the baseball fans came up in the seventh inning of the second contest between the Baltimore Black Sox and the Cuban Stars at Maryland Park.
The play gave the Black Sox both ends of the double-header and prevented the Cubans from tying the count.
Having won the first game by the score of 7 to 6, the Black Sox were leading by the score of 5 to 2 in a game that was to be seven innings by agreement. With two men re-tired, Portoundo was on third base and Baro on first base. The home run into the right field stand and with two men already on the paths the score was virtually tied. Instead of going straight to the plate Portoundo loitered on the base line and picked up Dihigo's bat. Apparently unconscious of the fact that Portoundo had not touched the plate, Baro jogged up to the base line and touched both bases ahead of Portoundo. Umpire Shewll ruled Baro out and the game ended without the Cubans scoring a run in the last inning. This is the first time in the history of the league that a home run has been hit and no run scored. Evidently peeved by his part in the gross error and chided by Julian Rolo, the Baltimore Baro had no blows after the game and were both taken into custody by the police.
Wilson added spice to the eventful day by too vigorously pro-
testing one of Umpire Mullen's aides
who was banished from the first fray.
COMMERCE, Mo, Sunday, Sept. 20—The White/Sox and West End Boys Baseball clubs were tied 4 to 4 in the sixth innings today. The same teams will play at Commerce again next Sunday, September 27.

St. Louis is one of the many cities throughout the country which enjoys the advantage of a Free Employment Bureau for its colored citizens. Such Bureaus are located primarily throughout the large industrial centers and promoted by the Urban League or similar organizations. Their value to community is inestimable, particularly in South. It has played such an important part in the increase of Negro Urban population.

SCHOOLS—STUDENTS—OBJECTS
September is the month for the schools, both public and private, to open. Schools, colleges and universities all have the same object—the determination to light and eliminate ignorance.
To the stranger arriving in town without any connection whatsoever with family, friends, or other ties the knowledge that there is a place where he can go and receive warm and courteous treatment, as well. As direction to help him find himself in his new location is comforting. For instance, John Blank arrives in St. Louis. He is directed to the Urban League Free Employment Bureau where he is given a job together with family and friends. How to locate in St. Louis. He is asked to make connections with the church and be steady on his job, save his money and he is thus headed toward making himself a valued citizen in the community.
private, to open. Schools, colleges and universities all have the same object—the determination to light and eliminate ignorance. Students in attending school have only one thing to lose—ignorance. The public schools, where the fundamentals of education are taught, are free, the books are furnished free, yet, there are any number of children, even in St. Louis, who are not attending school. The rase bas to touch at, stake for the parents to permit their childre to run the streets while school is in session and the demand tomorrow will make striving it to happen. Is it possible to secure a larger and more regular attendance?
People who failed to attend school in their earlier life, have the opportunity offered by the night schools. With an unlapping determination to improve one's self, there is nothing which that person cannot accomplish. And too, there is the home study-course now being offered in every vocation. Therefore, a definite program may be obtained in education by one method or another.
Another John Blank arrives in town, perhaps with some money, in his pockets. He "hunts a job" until his money runs out and finally my be forced to apply to some relief agency for or perhaps him and his family until he locate a job. Just what might happen in the interim is not easily calculated.
As soon as possible parents should help their children to determine the object of their going to school. This should be done with intelligence, not with a dogmatic decision on the part of the parent to make of the child what they want it to be, without taking info-consideration the child's natural ability and inherent qualities. As soon as this decision is made every effort should lend to that accomplishment.
It will thus be seen that in the placing of over 10,000 people during the past two years the Free Employment Bureau of the Urbann League of St. Louis is rendering a very valuable service to the community. Without such service the amount necessary to feed for families undoubtedly would be increased accompanied by a probable increase in crime, due to the desperateness of the situation faced by a man without money or friends.
D'Isareli Said: "The secret of success in a man's life, as for him to be ready when the opportunity comes." We are braching out, more and more, in the economic and commercial fields. Our young men and women would find it quite advantageous to prepare themselves for a definite work, whether there is an opportunity in that particular line or not. By the time they finish their preparation there may be an opening and if there is not, then like Napoleon, when faced with the supposed impassable mountain, said: "I will find a way or make one." With their specific training they can find a place or make one.
Nor is the activity of this Department of the Urban League work continued to the placement of men and women in jobs. Through the means of heart-to-heart talks in the Employer-workers are urged to be punctual, regular and efficient in their work and to hold to the standard of the Negro in industry. Pointers on health and general welfare are given to the applicants.
The progress of the race demands special trained men and women who can find a place or make one. Fred Douglass made his place when the odds were against him far more than any young man or woman face now or may face in the future. Booker T. Washington made his place in the industrial educational field and attracted the world to Tuskegee. Prof. Geo W. Carver prepared himself and has made his place secure in chemical agriculture, and has given to the world more information on the value and benefit of the peanut and sweet potato than any other human ever knew. Junius Groves made his way to a Kansas farm and there heralded his name to the world as "The Potato King." Anthony Overton conceived the idea of making pure baking powders and other household necessities and started his "Hygiene" family about twenty years ago in Kansas City. Today he has a large four-story building in Chicago, which houses his factory, a national bank, of which he is the president and a life insurance company which he also heads. Fifteen years ago, Hehian Perry started the first old line legal reserve insurance company among Negroes. Today, there are more than a dozen of these companies doing business in this country with more than $250,000,000 of insurance in force. Out in the Indian Territory a young school teacher decided that he would drop teaching and enter the commercial field. With $1,500 and an idea, T.-J. Elliott opened his gents furnishing and shoe store in a room about forty feet long. Today his store occupies a room 55x120 feet, in a three-story brick building which he owns. These men have made their way in different lines and should open our minds to the wonderful possibilities that await our men and women who will prepare themselves for specific work. There is the manufacturing field untouch; the radio, electricity, cotton, furniture and food production offer unlimited fields. Thousands of retail opportunities are in every large city. May the young people decide now on their field of effort so when the time comes to graduate they can enter their chosen work and soon make their way.
The other side of the placement work is the smoothing out of many difficulties between employers and employees which are cleared through the Employment Department when requests are made for help. Oftimes difficulties which would eliminate colored workers from positions are overcome through the efforts of the Employment Secretary in urging the employer to be fair in his judgment and not allow his attitudes and actions to be prejudiced by occasional disappointments in a prospective worker. These are some of the considerations of the value of a Free Employment service as rendered by the Urban League through its Employment Department here in St. Louis. Their value to the community in the improvement of race relations is investigable.
SCHOOL FOR DEFECTIVE CHILDREN IS NOW OPEN
By Mary A. Newman, Neighborhood Secretary, Urban League To anyone educated in the typical one-room country school house or even the usual city school, a step into the charles Henry Turner School on Kensington avenue would be a real revelation, makes one almost long for childhood again for the mere purpose of going back to school.
Saturday ago there was formed an organization known as the "Citizen's Council," with the Rev. Samuel A. Mosely, President and Rev. J. L. Cohn, Secretary.
We regarded its purposes lofty, at the time because it proposed to guard well the interest of the colored people of the city in an economic, economic and political way.
We have noticed that many of those who are planning to run for office in this city and state next year, are getting together their little cliques and klans behind closed doors and laying all of their plans for the coming political campaign.
This building is beautiful to the highest degree and as modern and comfortable as modern science can be. There are seven class rooms, with ventilated and attractive, in the building with comfort, adjustable seats, a plentiful supply of light and large blackboard space.
We suggest that we get together; it might be that we want to make up a little state and be prepared to announce our candidate just about the time the bosses come forth with theirs. Don't sleep on the job See:
There are manual training rooms, well fitted with work benches and boots and a domestic science kitchen, in that would delight any girls there is one large air room in the building fitted with 48 cots, where the children may have regular rest periods during the day, as well as being able to sleep at school the children are fed in the building from a splendidly equipped and immaculately neat modern diet kitchen. Shower baths and dressing rooms are also provided. There are tedious, tiresome stairs for little girls to climb, but the second door is reached by a gentle slope which requires no more effort to walk than a slight rise in a city street.
Under the above caption, several thousand hand bills were distributed in the neighborhood of the Stars baseball park. Saturday and Sunday in protest against white umpires as arbiters of the western championship games between the St. Louis Stars and the Kansas City Monarchs.
The text of the circular read as follows: The baseball fans protest against the way the
owners have treated the Negro umpires. Don't go to Stars Baseball Park. Unfair to Negro umpires. One of the owners made a remark that it made no difference whether they used white or black umpires, we would come to see the boys play just the same. Let us deceive them and stay away!
To this school, the children who have any kind of physical defect, but who are normal mentally, may be admitted. It is hard for a child who has a crippled ankle or a stiff knee or any defect of his physical ability to have to push and shove for existence in a school with normal children. In his special school has been constructed for just such as these. Seats that can be moved from place to place on casters and work that can be done at the child's own desk is provided for these children. Every possible aid is given them and provision is being made to call for these children to them to school, and return them to their homes in the evenings. In this way, the many children who were never able to school, because of some physical defect, who will be able to attend every day now.
The fans' pride had been wounded, and such demonstrations on the part of the colored people against the whites, show that we are just about as prejudiced against the whites as they are against the colored.
"IT'S TATER DIGGIN' TIME IN DIXIE"
The above caption was used in an appeal to colored families to go to Mississippi to pick cotton by a "Mr. Williams," from Friars Point, Miss., who was in St. Louis, last week.
Many other inducements were offered colored families, such as shipment free, house and fuel free and $1.25 per hundred for jucking cotton.
Just about the time this special train arrived at its destination, we imagine that instead of being greeted with "tater diggin' time in Dixie," they were greeted with another familiar term used in the South, which many seem to have forgotten, and that was "Nigger burning time in Mississippi." Those who were beguiled into accepting the free offer, were met by a mob of whites more than thousand Strong, led by Sheriff John W. Roberts celebrating the holiday Sunday by burning one poor innocent Negro in a most harbariic style. Surely the "tater diggin' appeal" is like the story of the spider and the fly.
Aside from this, provision
been made for children having
been diagnosed with them. They
will given special, individual
effort will be made to preserve
strengthen their sight. Instead of writing, they will use typewriters. They will have special books with large print to read and every effort will be made to protect their eyes. There will be classes for children who have difficulty with speech, where they careful training and pains-taking exercises will be aided in overcomer this difficulty. There are three rooms which will be devoted to children who are under-weight and under-nourished. These rooms will have plenty of fresh air all day long. It is these children who will receive special food and have special rest periods to tubercular children will be admitted as the danger these children may suffer. Other children is realized. Only these children who are under-weight and under-nourished are admitted to the open air classes.
The work in the class rooms will be of a delightful nature. The rooms will not be graded, there being in each room, persons from all the grade from Kindergarten to fourth child will be given individual instruction according to his individual needs. There will be libraries and sand tables and all the delightful means of making school work interesting will be employed. It is told of one little boy who did not want to go to school and who cried on the first day. It came time to go home he cried more because he did not want to leave this beautiful school.
The Charles Henry Turner School is most assuredly a great opportunity and every mother who has a court property belonging in this school should make every possible effort which may be attended to by seeing Miss Mays, acting Principal of the School.
If you are not the parent of such a child, please be kind enough to properly belong in the school to tell him, and his parents about it.
DR. CROSSLAND SUED
Special to The Argus
ST. JOSEPH, Mo.—"As a last resort," according to a statement by the plaintiff, "we had to file suit against Dr. Crossland in our effort to collect money we advanced him to save him when a bad check given by him was turned down." Thus ran the story of Dr. Crossland's latest troubles. Mr. and Mrs. Ihram Hugh are the sorrowing complaintants in the case.
"The suit is the outgrowth of a charge of passing a bad check nearly a year ago against Dr. Crossland, was alleged at that time that he gave it check for $120 to Charles Phelps, St. Joseph business man. The check was on a Washington D. C. bank and when it was presented for payment, it was returned marked "no funds."
SHOOTS WHITE ATTACKER
Andrew Bryant, a 22-year-old white machinist lies in the city hospital in a critical condition with a shot gun wound in his left forearm, while Cornelius Wallace, a 16 year-old colored boy who, inflicted the wound in protection of his mother, Mrs. Wallace, from an assault by Bryant is in confinement in the Central district police station. Wallace charged that he shot Bryant, when he attempted to attack his mother, Monday night at his home at 1743 North Tenth St. Wallace is being held pending the outcome of the wound.
GOES TO WHIPPING POST FOR BEATING HIS WIFE
FRIEDERICK, Md., Sept. 23—Five lashes accross his bear back with a whip was the penalty exacted of Earnest Ward, colored, by Sheriff Albaugh in the county jail, Tuesday, for wife beating. Ward was the second man to go to the whipping post here for this offense within the last few months. He bore his punishment historically.
JUDGE INVESTIGATES RE-ARREST OF NEGRO
'Third degree' tactics of the po-
lice might go alright in the district
station house, but when such ar-
guises practised in a court house after a
prisoner is released, there needs to
be some explaining done.
As the results of the re-arrest of
Alice Gayer (the arrest of) in
623 North Leonard, Monday in
the court building after he had been
released on a $1500 bond on a charge
of larceny by Judge Gayer of the
Court of Criminal Correction, the
latter has started an investigation.
Judge Gayer had refused detective
Sergeant Collins permission to re-
view William Gayer's report.
The detective stated that he wished
to question Collins further.
Outside the court room doors
Williams alleged Collins not only
arrested him, but struck him and
refused to tell him the reason for
his chastisement. He was held in
government for over eight hours.
Collins of the release of William
Wilms made no mention of striking
him and stated the reason for
release as insufficient evidence.
WINS DAILY ESSAY PRIZE
TOLEDO, O., Sept. 23. "What Would I Do With $1,000,000?" This was the title of several hundred essays submitted in the Toledo Blade (white) Contest in which Mrs. Druglia Tandy Porter won the second prize of $25. Her prize winning essay contained sound, clean thought. It read: "What would I do with a million! "Well, I wouldn't be human unless I took about a quarter of that fortune, and saw to the needs and comfort of my family. And that would include for myself a degree from Oberlin College and a chance to make faces at the "Less Expensive Dress Department" and for once, to sit down in a chair and shop in the "French Room."
"From force of habit I would save some for a rainy day. But the greatest of all would be—fierce fire." For I am insane, the establishment.
ENTIRE COUNTRY GIVES FULL APPROVAL
Never in the history of this country has an organization so completely won the confidence of its own city and the entire country as the Peoples Finance Corporation has done.
Starting with an idea three years ago, it has now come within so short a period to be recognized, as the largest financial institution among Negroes in the world. Its gross resources now amount to over $800,000 and its stockholders number more than 1,000, which is the largest number of Negroes interested in any financial institution in the world.
This big institution's marvelous growth is due to the fact that the men at the head have ever kept in mind—SERVICE and an HONEST and SQUARE DEAL to the public. These have been the fundamental elements of success in every large institution, and they have been the cause of the growth of this company.
J. P. Morgan, the world's renown financier, has said: 'There are no short cuts to business success."
The Directors believe that steady growth, a square deal, and sure progress are worth everything in the development of a permanent institution.
During the past three months the entire country has watched St. Louis and the Peoples Finance Corporation's big program.
The new building will strengthen the confidence of the entire country, and will be ready for occupancy about December 15th.
Stockholders, and thru them their friends, are invited to purchase shares in the Peoples Finance Corporation at $25.00. There will be no shares sold after October. Buy today!

If there were only a way of properly providing for and educating them, I sincerely believe motherhood woman's highest profession, large families a great blessing, and WANTED children the finest men and women."

BUG CAST FOR MOVIE
WASHINGTON, Sept. 23 — Motion pictures with bugs composing the entire cast have been completed by the cinema laboratory of the department of agriculture. In contrast to the usual production with their heroes and heroes these pictures feature only villains,
In one film the calosoma beetle, plays the lead, chasing a gypsy moth, decapitating it and then dragging it to its lair. In other pictures the holl weevil performs on a cotton plant, the clothes moth does
its antics on a piece of wool and the bed bug demonstrates its liking for human association by crawling on an attendant. While the acts were being recorded the warble fly developed stage fright and the picture could not be completed, until the performer was reduced to semi-consciousness by chironomform. Temperment also was in evil demons. Bees so objected to being photo graphed that they chased the cameraman into a cellar and the bob weevils insisted upon close-up. Several times the grinding camera has to be stopped while the weevils were extricated from the lenses.

THE PEOPLE'S PAPER
PART TWO
U. S. TO OBSERVE FIRE PREVENTION WEEK OCT. 4-10
President Coolidge Asks All Citizens To Unite In Efforts To Combat The Country's Great Menace
WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 23
The week beginning Sunday, October 4, has been proclaimed National Fire Prevention week by President Coolidge. All the citizens of the United States are expected to observe National Fire Prevention week. In order to draw to the public's conscience the vast destruction and waste, that is caused by fires in this country each year, and to awaken a stronger spirit of co-operation in the fight against the menace.
Up To the Public
In observing Fire Prevention Week many public demonstrations will be held. In 'soce cities parades will be held. In every city exercises, poster summits, etc., will be held among the school children. Mass meetings, sessions by the clergy and lectures, are also featured.
The text of the President's proclamation follows:
Survey of Wastage
"The time has come for the annual resurvey of the nation's enormous wastage alike in human life and in property, and for the annual appeal for the lessening of this huge loss. I am informed that during 1924 fires caused the loss of approximately 15,000 lives and of property exceeding $548,000,000 in value. The figures are startling; they are yet more so when it is, added that this is declared by competent authorities the greatest life loss in any year of our history.
"This waste results from conditions which justify a sense of shame and horror; for the greater part of it could and ought be prevented. Not only was the 1924 fire loss greater than that of any preceding year, but the loss for the first half of 1925 exceeded that for the life-period of 1924. As a result of careful inquiries, I am informed that whereas the absolute as well as the per capita fire loss of this country tends to increase from year to year the same losses in comparable European countries tend to increase for the most recent comparable, periods fire losses in Great Britain are calculated at less than 5 per capita per annum, while those of the United States are placed at approximately 5 per capita. Comparisons with other European countries are similarly to our discredit.
"It is highly desirable that every effort be made to reform the conditions which have made possible so vast a destruction of the national wealth. To this end, for a long time past it has been customary to set aside a week in each year, during which the need of fire prevention may be emphasized. It is important that this practice be continued." Therefore, I. Calvin Coolidge President of the United States, recommend that the week beginning Sunday, October 4, be observed as National Fire Prevention Week. To state and municipal officials, civic organizations, school authorities, and all citizens and organized bodies, I appeal for the fullest co-operation in improving conditions. There is need for earnest study for the principles of fire protection as a practical measures of national economy."

Negro Schools To Study, In French, The Story Of Toussaint L'Ouverture
Dr. G. R. Simpson has done the race a great favor in editing for school purposes. *Gregory Lacee's biography of Toussaint L'Ouverture, the Negro soldier, statesman, and marryt of Haiti.* Here we have a valuable book subscribing a double purpose. It facilitates the study of a foreign language by presenting matter of immediate interest to the Negro student. At the same time it supplies him with valuable information about one of the greatest figures in history regardless of color. This book, then, meets a long felt need for what stimulus can there come to a Negro student of French when he reads the deeds of Louis la Fayette. Negro student of history if he is to restrict him self altogether to the study of Causse, Napoleon, and Gladstone?
In this story, however, one will not find propaganda. It is merely the narrative of the unusual feuds of an exceptional man. With little opportunity for development, the hero of the story made himself a leader of men. Against tremendous odds, he hurled his ill-clipped soldiers at the military forces of France, representing the broadest blood of Europe. He humiliated latently defended these Frenchmen, and laid the foundation of an independent republic. No story is more fascinating than this. Few writers have written a narrative as gripping as this of Toussaint L'Ouverture—the warrior.

the hero, the savior of his country.
To appreciate the worth of this man and the importance of drawing upon his career for impressive lessons to develop the character of the Negro youth, one cannot do better than bear in mind these words of Wendell Phillips: "I would call him Napoleon, but Napoleon made his way to empire over broken oaths and a sea of blood. This man never broke his word. No Retaliation' was his great motto and the rule of his life; and the last words uttered to his son in France were these: 'My boy, you will one day go back to San Domingo; forget that France murdered your father.' I would call him Cromwell, but Cromwell was only a soldier, and the state he founded went down with him into his grave; I would call him Washington, but the great Virginian held slaves. This man risked his empire rather than permit the slave trade in the humble villages of his dominions. Fifty years before, what they gets a boating, the muse of history will put Phionis for the Greeks, Brutus for the Romans, Hampton for England, Fayette for France, chooses Washington as the bright conglomerate flower of our earlier civilization, and John Brown as the ripe fruit of our moon-day; then, dipping his pen in the sunlight, will write in the clear blue, above them all, the name of the soldier, the statesman, the martyr, Toussaint L'Overture."
The book is well printed and neatly bound. It contain a useful map on Haiti. It has a number of exercises for composition and conversation in French and also a useful vocabulary. It is a handy volume containing 168

CITIZENS MORE THRIFTY BANK ACCOUNTS SHOW
WASHINGTON, Sept. 22—Americans are becoming thirstier and thinner—all waltings about "sundriftrift America" notwithstanding.
Figures made public Thursday by the federal reserve board prove it they disclosed that in 1962 principal banks August 1 saving accounts amounted to 7,983 million dollars, a gain of more than 1.2 billion dollars over August 1, 1921, or nearly 85 for every man, woman and child in the country.
The figures disclosed, however, a iron of about 275 million dollars from the previous month's figures, but board officials attributed this to the fact that July is vacation month, and estimated that 50 per cent of the withdrawals were made for vacation purpose, according to an interesting insight into the annual American vacation bill.
The American people for surplus all other peoples in their savings according to figures compiled by the reserve board.

TRACE KLAN'S THREAT OF HARM TO N. Y. FAMILY
NEW YORK, Sept. 29. Efforts are being made by the District Attorney and postoffice officials to trace the source of a K. K. K. letter bearing a threat to do harm.
The message was addressed to Samuel E. Browne and his family, who have tenuously held to their home at 67 Fairview avenue, Castleton Hill, Staten Island, in spite of the efforts of whites to compel them to leave.
The letter declared that the plan would intercept in the move to oust the Brownes, and that some of the organization's effective methods in handling Negro would be used. It called the black's protection a huge joke and stated that nothing would interfere with the punishings of Browne and stated that the letter was signed with three 9K letters.
COLORED MAN POSSESSOR OF A PRICELESS RELIC
PROVIDENCE, R. L., Sept. 23—A colored citizen, Victor D. Chambers of 195 Caddo street. Providence, is the possessor of a previous antique. It is a scarf which was given to his grandmother by the Marquettes of Lafayette 100 years ago. The scarf is of the finest figure and hand woven. It is 7 feet 6 inches long and 18 inches wide and has a hambone fringe. Marquettes of Lafayette presented the
scarf to Chamber's grandmother as an expression of appreciation for her service
"OLD BILL" AT 57 IS THE OLDEST HORSE IN WORLD
NEW YORK, Sept. 21. The "oldest horse in the world" was discovered Monday on an obscure little farm in Harmony township, Warren County, eight miles from Washington, N. J.
It is "Old Bill" reputed by his owner to be 57 years old, and still in harness. If this figure be correct, and Mr. Sonder produces data to prove it, "Old Bill" has surpassed the record of "Old Clover," the race horse that died in May, 1924, at the age of 53.
"Old Clover" spent his declining years before a "Old Clover." But "Old Bill" the latest genuine Methyldex expects no such easy life. His life has been one of toll and he expects to continue in it until his death. Although "Old Clover" spent his remaining years traveling first class about the country, "Old Bill" continues to do farm work, and is kicking with all the gusto of a much younger horse.

EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE NAT'L CONVENTION
EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE NAT'L CONVENTION
To Be Held At Baltimore On Oct. 7, 8, 9. Churches And Societies Asked To Join In One Big "Kick" Against Many Injustices Suffered By The Race
BOSTON, Mass., Sept. 21—The Equal Rights League has just issued a formal call for the annual convention, which is to be held at Baltimore, Md., early in October.
The call indicates that the need of the convention is greater this year than ever before, because of the continual rising tide of color prejudice which threatens our very existence in this country.
Text of the Call
To Fellow Members and all Fellow Americans of Color.
Americans in color
"The fall of this year of our Lord 1925, finds Americans of African descent still unprotected by our federal government from the lynching mob, not vouchsafed political rights. In fact in the South nor civil rights in the District of Columbia, and in the National Capitol building it finds us still subjected to racial discrimination, injustice and elimination in the Civil service, as also in the army and navy schools and service ever under Republican administrations.
"Even in an era mening stands out the alliance of positive color segregation of government employees in the Executive Department of Federal government even whole Colored segregated sections, a special low status for race."
"Very wide-spread—and naturally so under such a governmental example—has become color discrimination and, deprivation, with other consequent small-treatments and molestations. The white American movement to create a color caste; the only public case in America, is making holiday. To an alarming extent we are being singled out alone from all the many races of Americans for public segregation in education, transportation, places for service and accommodation and in industry. This ostracism threatens to make of us the only American civic outcasts. Public concern results, and denial of livelihood.
Colored America, thus dangerously circumstanced, a race 15 million strong, in possession of education, of churches, businesses, property and money reaching into billions, the National Ethical Rights League calls its manifest duty, that of doing what every other oppressed class which won relief has done, to assemble in national convention to consider ways, means and method of action on its account, initiative and conception to combat these menacing wrongs. "Who would be free, themselves must, strike a blow." The world today and in history respects even oppressed races who, however otherwise aided, through self-respect and power conduct some light of their own.
"Therefore and hereby this League, which expressed admiration for all of the race who did otherwise while at its last annual meeting, advising the race to nationally support Republicans, invites all, at its 18th Annual Meeting one year after, in the Trinity Baptist Church, Druid Hall-Avenue and McMeench streets, Baltimore, Rev. Luke D. Reynolds, pastor, October 7.9.1925 close to the seat of the Federal government, to assemble in an open National Race Mass Convention, there to be held by it, for a general racial Get-Together on where we are at, and what we as a great race should ourselves say and do in organized resistance, as one asset of relief added to any and all other forms.
"Come one and all to racial conference; as far as possible let all racial hotlist religious, fraternal, literary, civic, civil rights, send delegates, and especially let there be delegates sent by the general Colored citizen in every place, through meetings called by Citizens' Committees, by Equal Rights Committees, or Equal Rights League, braches, even ones newly formed for this object.
"Any desired particulars can be attained from the corresponding secretary, Wm. Monroe Trotter, 9 Cornhill, Boston, Mass.
Sincerely for Equality for my race, Wm. A. SINCLAIR, President."

CHESTERFIELD, S. C., Sept. 23.—When Ernest Diggs and Henry Robinson, 15, were on the chain gang together, Diggs made a deal with Robinson, whose term expired first, to go to his home and take care of the crop until he, Diggs, should be released. Robinson did this. Later, when Diggs was released and came to the farm, it became difficult for him and Robinson to agree. The latter was telling some of the hands on the farm of his treatment from Diggs when the latter came up from behind and struck him across the head with the leg of a chair. Robinson died. Diggs has been arrested and is being held on a murder charge.
