XIV NO.26 Bethesda In Chicago Said To Be Damaged $125,000. Surrounding Property Suffers. Hundreds Terrified By Blast Which Sounds Like Earthquake. Associated Negro Press CHICAGO, Ill. Oct. 21. At 6 p.m. clock Friday morning residents with Michigan avenue were arraigned from their beds by the detention from a bomb which destroyed the mammoth Bethesda Baptist Church at the conference of the above streets and broke window papers in houses and stores for six blocks around. The blast was the worst ever experienced in Chicago and carried stark fear into the hearts of thousands who feared that its thunderous voice was the herald of an earthquake. The Bethesda Baptist Church was recently purchased from a Jewish congregation which had joined with another group of Jews and erected a synagogue in another locality. The purchase price is said to have been $17,000, which, according to real estate men, was much less than the tideboard is actually worth. It stood majestically at the center of an artisocratic settlement within Town Jones and a white bourgeoisie from the chait and commercial classes. Ten months ago it was bombed and damage done to the extend of $3,500. At that time the pastor, backed by his CONTINUED ON PAGE SIX BISHOP CAREY WARNS AGAINST A. F. L.

Missouri A. M. E. Conference running thru the week in this city, was the Educational Day program of yesterday. Prominent among those participating, was Prof. Arthur Jackson; Educational Secretary of the A. M. E. Church, who made the main speech at the Evening session, happily Dr. Charles Sumner. William B. Young, Dr. N. B. Young, President of Lincoln University, Jefferson City, Mo. Melmith J. Chisum, Field Secretary, National Negro Press Association. Bishop Reverdy C. Ransom of the 14th District preached during the day while Bishop Carey presided at the evening session. This discussion there was introduced a discussion on the question of colored working men joining the unions of the American Federation of Labor. This discussion was general and a resolution was introduced by the Rev. John Adams, preacher of the district. This resolution discourages colored men from joining the unions. Bishop Carey left the chair to participate in the discussion and said, that it is his observation that the K. K. K, and the American Federation of Labor seems to be working hand in hand against the Negro in Chemistry and the Negro in Labor. Bishop Carey said that he would not have his own begin to preach the gospel of hate; that he hates no man or woman nor sect, that on the other hand the colored people must of necessity watch and guard their own best interests and avoid making any step which would interfere with their chance to be employed in the work then. Bishop Carey made the observation that he has been making a study of the economic conditions as they affect our people here in the Middlewest, and that he is convinced that the efforts of the American Federation of Labor to organize the Negro railroad workers are so much so to enclose the workers men out of the work which they already control. More than four thousand dollars are raised for the A. M. E. Educational programme. Rev. William Dewitt Wilkins, pastor of Quinn Chapel A. M. E. Church and Mrs. Wilkins are being offered on the basis that they are entertaining the Conference. And in spite of the heavy rain fall, the attendance last night was the largest of the conference sessions. GIRL WILLED FORTUNE SEATTLE. Wash.

In his address the attorney will discuss the color line in its effect on the economic and social condition of the race and point out some means of relief. He will show that the American race question is a part of a bigger world question and will trace the origin of the color line, linking it up with the housing situation, the refusal of certain emploment of Negroes segregation in the contours of Washington, the Negro's status in the army and navy and the Ku Klux Klan.

SUPREME COURT TO HEAR DISFRANCHISEMENT CASE Authorities Believe That Case Will Settle Many Of The Disfranchisement Issues In The South NEW YORK, Oct 18—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has announced revelation of a telegram from Fred C. Knollenberg, attorney of El Paso, Texas stating that the United States Supreme Court has docked the defendant of a crime in Hardenburg, which will be made the entering wedge of an attack upon the disfranchisement of Negroes in the South. The case arises out of a Texas law passed in 1923, prohibiting Negroes from voting in the Democratic Party primaries. It is contended that this effectually disfranchises colored voters in contention of the 15th Amendment, since the Democratic party primaries constitute "virtually the only mischief for election to office in that state." The case goes to the U. S. Supreme Court on appeal from the U. S. District Court which upheld the barring of a Negro, Dr. A. L. Nixon, from the Democrat's primaries in accordance with the Texas statute.

Published In The Interest Of Colored People LOUIS, MO., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1925 "Absolutely Untrue", Is The Captain's Answer To The Press Stories, Which Dishonored Colored Seamen JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Oct. 24—Again the honor of the captain once has been listlessly ground and beremehed with the "mud" and "fifth" that the "Mucke-raking press is so capable of producing it, was barred here Tuesday." A whitehair sea captain came forth as the corrector of the great wrong and injury in an article, published in the majority of the newspaper. Whitehats of the country Monday, wounded Nepal of courage, drunkenness and brutality in the face of a catastrophe, in which the "Clyde Lluef, Comanche" burnt up off Mayport, Fla., Saturday, while miny passengers were on board. False News Broadcasted The captain was, Edward E. Curry of Mount Cliff, N. J., Master of the Accused Nepal of courage, the ship's crew. The gist of the condemning statement, which was sent out might be obtained from the following excerpts from an account as told by the white associated press: "The New York World will say tomorrow that the Negro crew of the Steamer Comanche which burned off the coast of Florida Satellite stepped out only safely passengers, out of boats and precipitated men and women into the sea." Calls For Retrievement Captain Curry greatly hurt by the injustice done his colored crew sent out a denial to the press begging that all fair newspapers publish it. He declared the adverse "charges "positively untrue." He was made before George W. Harney, of Norfolk, Va., supervising inspector of the United States. Steamboat Inspection Service, who interrogated Captain Curry. The statements attributed by the newspapers to passengers arriving there were made a part of the investigation into the burning of the ship, which resulted in the loss of one passenger, William T. Lawler, of Winthrop, Mass. Captain Curry denied charges that the Negro crew was intoxicated saying there was no alcohol had been drinking liquor. He added: "The Steward reported to me on the bridge that there were no others so affected." The white-haired Captain also denied charges that the crew deported itself in an unscamanlike manner. Distorted Statements): "I made no such statement," Captain Curry said, in reply to a question by Mr. Harney after the reading of an alleged statement by L. Jonassen masse the tailor Reapeen that Commanche officers, after his arrival on the scene said, that no assistance was needed. Captain Curry characterized this statement as absurd. "I saw no confusion among either the passengers or crew," Captain Curry declared. "There was one woman, an elderly lady, however, that was hysterical. The dense smoke prevented the train between decks and for that reason the source of the fire could not be determined, Mr. Curry said. "There are no fire detecting appliances carried on Clyde Line boats," Captain Curry said, and added that there was no inspection of the Commanche before the departure from Jacksonville, but the second officer and the port man made an inspection an hour after the sailing hour. The Captain admitted that the passengers on one of the lifeboats had been spilled into the water thru fault of the operators.

With the next election more than a year ahead, the aspirants for the officers are beginning to lay their plans; and here and there, signs of real work of the gastro politician are seen. Judging from the number of prospective candidates aming the colleges that it is a great opportunity that the state will be full of New gastro candidates seeking offices from L. S. Congress, to Constable, of the Fourth District. Of course, it is too early to tell what will happen, will have happened, or will actually happen. For Congress Attorneys Gen. L. Vaughan and Homer G. Philips have been member of Congress from the Twelfth District. This office is now being held by the Hon. L. C. Dyer, Mr. Vaughan, it is thought, almost has his hat in the ring; while it is generally known that Philips is listening for something that sounds like a "rabbit" and he is ready to respond to the "rabbit" in the ring. State Representative Hon Walthall M. Moore will probably seek to succeed himself as State Representative from the Third District. As to whether other Negroes will seek the honor for one of the four places in the district, is not known at this time. Attorney John A. Davis is mentioned. Thos. J. R. Wilson a former police officer, is said to be a candidate for State Representative from the Fourth District. For Justice of the Peace The office of Justice of Peace in the Fourth District is claiming the attention of a larger number of aspirants than any other office at the present time. Of course, Justice Crittenden E. Clark will want to succeed himself, there are two justices in the Fourth District, the other present incumbent is Jos. L. S. Fisher (white). Among the other Negro aspirants, or those who have indicated that they would make the race are: Attorney E. Taylor, Freeman L. Martin, Jos. L. McLennan, John A. Davis and Roy Love. Attorney Frank Bledsoe will probably file for Justice in the Fifth District. For Constable In the Fourth Langton Harrison will, of course, seek to arrest himself, C. H.

The deal was closed with Edwin Barclay, Negra Secretary of State of Liberia, who sailed for his country recently. to run again. Jeff Covington is a saving that two are to be elected, and he will seek one of the places. The muse of Harry Arnold, a Deputy Sheriff, is also mentioned as a possible candidate in the Fifth. Fer (Committeeman) Robert T. Scott, the first and only Negro Committeeman who was elected in the Sixth Ward, thinks that he will be able to succeed so it is a safe bet that he will be a candidate to succeed himself. Yet, friends of Ernest Patillo, a member of the Republican State Committee and Deputy Committeeman Lengang Harrison, are urging him to make the race against Scott. If Patillo, of any other Negro enters the race for the Committeeship of the Sixth, it will precipitate the only real direct fight where Negro will be arrayed against Negro, judging from the present situations. In the cases of Justices in the Cases of Justice, he is appointed, held where Negros are present, only one. The friends of Scott say that an effort is being made to run the Sixth Ward from down on Sixth Street, but they content that Scott is still Committeeman, and will be until after the election. It is understood that about as many white aspirants will seek the same offices as described above. A likely race is anticipated. All of the aspirants, or those mentioned in this story, will seek their nomination or election on the Republican or three Negros who will seek office on the Democratic ticket, according to present plans. Little is being said about the Committeewomen at this time. THREE CHILDREN PERISH IN FIRE Mothers Working In Fields Near-By. One Child Makes Escape ENGLAND, Ark. Oct. 21—Three colored children were burned to death here Tues. afternoon, when a colored family's home was destroyed by fire. A fourth child, the other occupant of the house at the time, escaped. The victims were: Roosevelt Butler, age two; Freda Burger, age one; and Rosella Franklin, age one. The mother of the Franklin child had left her at the Butler home while she went to a nearby field to work. The parents of the Burger children were also at work in the fields. It is believed that the house was set on fire by the children in an effort to start a fire in a stove. The scene of the tragedy was on the Spruce plantation about one half cast of England. The house was almost completely destroyed. A toupe that will turn gray in harmony with a man's hair is one of the crying needs of the times.

At a meeting of the State Central Committee of Georgia, held at the Putton County Court House, last Thursday, B. J. Davis, President of the National Negro Press Association and Editor of the Atlanta Independent, was elected to succeed the late Henry Lincoln Johnson as National Committeeman from the Empire State. Fifty-nine out of sixty members of the Republican State Central Committee were present at the meeting. On the first ballots Mr. Davis received forty-two votes, Mr. Brades, Albus G. Ginevale, and Mr. Packer, G. Parker, former assistant United States marshal (white) seven, Mr. Davis received fifteen of the twenty-four white votes. He received the entire Negro vote except that of a Negro who held a white man's proxy. Upon motion by Dr. Harris, the vote was made unanimous except one, A. Graves participating by proxy. Just prior to his election, announcement was made of Mr. Davis' indictment on charges preferred by Clark Grier, a disgruntled white man who was Davis' chief opponent for the position. Grier sought either to show Mr. Davis out of the light or to make it impossible to accept the position if elected. The indictment was returned in the home town of Grier and is not regarded as important by those who were involved. The election of the "Independent" editor brings in the fore another of Georgia's fighting leaders. His career has been marked by a willingness to mix it with anybody for principle's sake and by a sympathy and conscientism that was oftentimes confusing and maddening to his opponents. He is said to be one of the wealthiest Negroes in Georgia. LEAGUE ASKS U. S. ANTI-SLAVERY AID Will Send A Draft To This Country For Approval And Support GENEVA. Oct. 21.

In making the announcement of Mr. Darrow's association with the case as chief counsel James Walden Johnson, Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in Detroit, case involves the third and most dangerous phase of segregation. The N. A. A. U. P. has fought and won a victory in the United States Supreme Court, in the matter of segregation by ordinance or law. We shall very soon argue in the Supreme Court the question of segregation by private agreement among white property owners. We are now facing in Detroit, segregation by mob violence. The colored people generally, then out the United States, will be vitally interested in the outcome of the case. It is understood that it will require about $20,000 to defend Dr. Sweat and his associates. Persons interested may contribute thru their local branches or direct to the home office in New York. Thirteen Leaders Discover Themselves Behind Locked Doors, Much To Their Dis- appointment. The Sheri- ff Shows Unusual Courage MARSHALL, Texas, Oct. 19. The Inter-racial Commission of the South, in its press service recently, gave an account of how a mob broke into jail in Texas. The story tells of how two Negroes, who were charged with murder, had been led in jail for safe keeping, under Sheriff John C. Sanders. A mob followed the prisoners to the jail bent on killing Sheri- ff Sanders urged the mob to disperse, stating that a sheriff, he was bound to protect the prisoners. All left thirteen, who living around rather resident. So Sheri Sanders and his deputies made a rush on the thir- teen mob leaders and arrested every one of them and locked them up in the same jail they were so anxious to break into a short while before. Now the report states, "they are behind the laps waiting some one to break into the jail and get them." They are being held charged with fencing mob violence and resisting arrest. Sheriff Sanders is a target of congratulations for his courageous stand for law and order. This makes five cases in Texas this year in which mobs bent, on lynching have been successfully defied by faithful sheriffs, backed by opinion leaders, and backed by public anger of the mobs was killed by officers defending their prisoners. The people in Texas and throughout the country cite these cases as positive proof that mobs are easily dealt with if resisted with firmness and courage by officers of the law. of the Caliph and Marsinah, the beautiful daughter of Haij, runs thrush the play, carrying one of the most universal appeals to the human emoji.

DETECTIVE SERGEANT COOPER AT LANE TABERNACLE MONDAY NIGHT "Twenty Years of Law Enforcement" To Be His Subject For the first time in his long and successful career as a St. Louis peace officer, Detective Sergant Ira Cooper will bring a message to the public. The scene of the deliverance will be Lane Tabernacle C. M. E. Church, Newstead and Enright avenues, and the new office of 2.5 million stock. The message will be delivered in the main auditorium; seats free. Now, what will a famous detective talk about to the public? That seems to be a clever question. Well, naturally one wouldn't expect him to let us in on the secrets of the "Third Degree"—if there is really a third degree. Nor will he tell us how a criminal was chased from St. Louis to Switzerland and captured by finger prints. No, Sergant Coock knows that he might say, however, that if we care to escape the third degree and the toils of the law, we had better be good. But the life of Sergent Cooper has been one of accomplishment, and that's what he will talk about. Entering the Police Department as a special officer many years ago, he rose to his present position. But there's a great story between these lines; a story of valor, thrift and bravery to be heard by those present at Laurel Tabernacle Monday night. There will also be diversion. The Pullman Quarterette Mrs. Mabel Hatton and Mrs. Helen Claybury Robertson will give a clever demonstration of music; while Misses Lacille and Lelia Randall will give the audience something to think about from a literary view. Sergeant Cooper will be presented by Mr. I. H. Bradbury. The entertainment is given by the Educational Department of the Lane Tabernacle Board of Stewards.

GUIDANCE, NOT FORCE URGED FOR CHILDREN GUIDANCE, NOT FORCE URGED FOR CHILDREN Juvenile Referee Stresses The Value Of Intellectual Understanding—Not Force CHICAGO, Oct. 21—Speaking on youth versus authority, Dr Mariam Van Waters seven years juvenile court referee stressed the value of intelligent understanding instead of explanation of the conduct of individuals. “Particularly is this true in dealing with young people,” Dr van Waters said. “It is youth’s business to find new forms of conduct to meet progress of the material world. Today great social changes are all around us. The race has always paid dearly for war, revolutions, disasters, and great immigration. “Today these changes come quickly; youth is staging a revolution in customs and manners. Youth needs intelligent, courteous, tactful, under standing, guidance. Antagonism to imparental parents is usually behind the antagonism which leads the delin- quent youth into conflict with the law. The true family, like the true civilization, has found its mutual friendship. Antagonism to mutual equals. Let us not go on making mistakes the world has always made in training children, blind force vers- sus knowledge. U. S.

Its tobacco bill runs almost as high, while candy, cakes and ice cream and the like consume another $2,000,000,000. Yet with all this, the great American making is by no means overlooked. "Residential-building being approximately 60 per cent of the year's estimated $6,000,000,000 construction program, homemaking is easily the biggest business of the country."

"Both among Negro men and women the largest number of tuberculosis deaths occurred in the younger 42-65 groups of 20 to 25 years.

PAGE FOUR ·THEATRES SNAPPY VAUDEVILLE ACTS AT THE BOOKER WASHINGTON Four snappy acts of vaudeville are combined to give the Booker Washington Theatre patrons a good show this week. Davenport and Williams are the curtain raisers. They open with "Norbody's Business If I Do," and follow with some rapid fire conversation that's full of pep. Davenport, who is a fast talker, has several good monologue jokes and a catchy humorous song. Williams shings—a sweet sentiment, "Pal Of My Childhood Days," and the team closes with some lovely dancing while they sing, "I'm Goin' Home." Nuggie and Eva mix light comedy with some mighty good singing. They start with a squabble about a lost pocketbook that carries a bit of humor. Nuggie's line of jokes is followed with impersonations of a classic and a blue: rendition of "What Will I Do." An excellent voice is displayed in this novelty. An operatic burlesque goes over big and their fling. The Sheik of Arabia," is artistic well as musical. Paul Carter and Sallie Clark are the fun makers. The female works under cook and the opening finds her at the washbath bringing in the coin for a gambit husband. Their congeners save her duty to "Burst Studs" and his right to be a man of leisure is a scream. When she leaves him, his lamentations are comedal, but when she returns "all dolled up" the result is a rudeling in a cyclone. Baby and Barbry All close the show with a dancing act above pur. They sing a number of songs, including "Alabama Boyd." "Keep Your Buddy Home," and "Sweet Georgia Brown," but their forte is dancing and there is plenty of it, and sparkling with art, until they offer "Syn copated Charleston," that leaves the house clamoring for more.

By The Cameraman For Preston News Service Organization's Traitors— Organized groups of every declension are stalking over America for the promotion and the protection of their alleged rights, or in search of meams of consummating some latent hope or desire, either sincerely or selfishly conceived. It was Capital which organized first for the unseen purpose of safeguarding its exploitation of those human elements upon which, by force, Capital was permitted to feed. As the greed for gold crept in, through the instrumentality of those representatives of Capital who were selfish and dishonest, their organization tightened its grip upon the brain and brawn which became Capital's folder. Finally, in embodiment and, at first in self defense, Labor began to fight. The attempt was traughed with adversities because of Capital's primal law of "offense before defense." Yet, Labor did organize, and its "sleep rise into participation in the consoling things if life is solely due to its organized power. in labor organization》 the black man, as elsewhere, has been given the very last place; and it has been more difficult for him than for any other group to share in the benefits of organized power as a means of self protection. If it had been theoretically possible, organized labor of American workers would be as ballast, but the peplum in here and there, the Civilization into the great plan of Americanism has made it possible for either organized Capital or-organized Labor to ignore entirely American's black millions. Hence it is that today finds the black man quite ready to be inoculated by the germ of organization. Reviewing his pas (work history) he realized that of all groups his has been subject to the most unethical exploitation; he realizes that his pursues his brains, his feelings, his feelings, his set upon interest for the other fellow; and at last he knows that oft times it is best to fight fire with fire. Hence, slowly but firmly he has begun to organize. His stevedores, his charwoman, his switchmen, his tradesmen, his browny iron, and steel workers, his firemen, his engineers; and last, but not least even his lowly but honorable Pullman porters, engaged in an occupation which a white man he be a laborer has done, he be a laborer she have begun to band themselves together for the purpose of promoting their work welfare. Is this Bolsherikism? Is this Communism—this protecting of oneself from outside danger? No. It is not. Is this Russia? No. No, this is America, where freemen live and toil and sing, the praises of free government. And yet we hear that even among our ranks there are JUASDES among us who would glap the faces of the valiant Negro porters, and betray the trust of us, struggling people for the sake of encouraging the old, the old which has been on our heads through all the long years between. Benedict Arnold and treason are still very much in evidence among us, just as they were when the Dyer AntLynching Bill became a lost hope. Peaceful Politics The autumn political season among, the brothel, has opened with Ben J. Davis at the hat, Perry Howard on deck and the brother in the hole. Ben has just been named by the Georgia State Central Committee as successor to the late Henry Lincoln Johnson. National Committeeman; while Perry, according to the New York World, "May be agreed upon" as the "New. Negro Party Chief." Says the New York World of Brother Perry: "He is a clean man, and a quiet and savve politician." Wether or not the World's special dispatch preceded Perry's acceptance of the position of choosing counsel to the 22,000 Negro Pullman, porters who are now organizing for better working conditions and wages, and genuine race advancement, does not appear as yet. Neither does it appear anywhere in the political record as to who is to "agree" upon any so-called "New Negro Party Chief." What the Negro apparently needs votes coalition, jobs, and group recognition. Votes are needed in both Brother Ion's and Perry's states, as well as elsewhere at the proper sacrifice of personal political selfishness; jobs are needed by the meek and lone Hillary Clinton and group recognition is essential. block formation since political adversity comes to us in like formation. Chicago, with Ed. Wright at the political helm, has obtained as good results in coalition. jobs and recognition as we have seen anywhere. New York, Philadelphia, and other heavy cities are following closely all in Chicago's political action. All of which should be a lesson to any 'Negro Party Chiefs or Chiefs' that may be in the bud. If the eastern and western wings of the national organization can make themselves felt strongly enough to stimulate a freer and more united use of the ballot, all other things, as the Good Book says, shall be added. And this goes for leadership, which long, while has long since crossed the Mason and Dixon line. Stoopshoulderedness in the presence of the bosses, HAS NO PLACE IN, CONSTRUCTIVE POLITICS, and where the ballot is popular, SUCH TACTICS HAVE NO STANDING AT BAR, and are invoked only when personal advancement is sought. There are plenty of manly duties interested in the political emancipation of the brother, and these duties are only wise practice is for each unit to seek the job for which he is best fitted.

LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, OCT. 23, 1925 has taken place, it is theoretically incongruous for any man to stand on its banks and shout instructions to sojourn voters on the banks of the Hudson River or Lake Erie. THE MAN WITH THE BALLOT IN HIS HAND IS THE MAN WITH THE LEADERSHIP IN HIS VEST POCKET. Liberian Rubber The venture of Harvey Firestones (White) in investing, one hundred million in Liberian rubber territory, with the view of eventually cultivating a million-acre rubber project, is probably the year's outstanding economic activity. Mr. Firestone states that he intends to employ 300,000 natives and a great organization of whites in operating a giga-scale rubber plant, to be engaged in the production of rubber under American methods, and for American consumption. Mr. Firestone's plantation will be the largest of its kind in the world. Its preliminary plans, call for a physical-modelling of Liberian territory almost beyond imagination. Harbors, towns, railroads, hospitals and dwellings, aside from the usual and customary industrial engineering, will reintroduce the extensive magnitude. Thousands of other necessities calling for technical and skilled workmen of every type will arise (or American supervision and consummation). We beg to say a friendly word to Mr. Firestone, which we feel could be taken as helpful advice in bringing to a successful conclusion this great venture of his. There are in America Negro types and proto-types of virtually every degree of skilled and work ability, which Mr. Firestone will need in advancing his rubber project. There are civil engineers of color, both youthful and experienced; there are Negro physicians, surgeons and nurses; there are architects of national reputation; there are draughtsmen, painters, and carpenters; to say nothing of the great Negro army of iron and steel, to be skilled. To off hand it would be a fine thing if Mr. Firestone would honor the country of the deceased President James Monroe, who helped to set apart Liberia as a homeland for the freedmen, by transporting to its shores for technical and other work an actual number of American Negro artisans, who are as capable as any others in preparation for, and ability to do, the things necessary to the installation and operation of the Firestone plantation of Liberia.

Written By A Love-Sick Poet In His Youth Each thing that mars the beauty of your soul is as a thorn upon a lovely rose; And as love draws you nearer to my soul, Deeper into my heart each cruelly goes. And fills my joy with pain. O yes, my soul has felt a deeper pang That torn flesh or bruised bones reveals; Although the world around with music rang. What piercing aches my bleeding heart off feels. And tears off shed in vain. Will you remove the thorns or must I suffer, Until my heart, grown used to pain, forgets? O Love would never bid you let me suffer. Or dim my happiness with sad regrets: Love would remove the pangs. Please. Rose, the thorns are not a part of you: You are not conscious of them in your soul: Your sweetness would expell them if you were. Bore still I feel these achea within my soul. But love shall heal the pangs. > Someone my soul shall clean a Some day my soul shall clasp a thornless rose: And sadness nevermore shall gloom my heart: Then this sweet blossom that man- dure: Shall bloom forever as my purer part; And we shall know no pahgs. 1940 R.

LOS ANGELES CITIZENS DOWN SEGREGATION CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE torney, and will be presented to the Governer, the Mayor, the Chief of Police and other State and municipal authorities. Segregation Views Regarding citizenship, it was re- solved, than it be, "recognized as an unwarying" prince; that may be abbling citizen harden his right to life upon his own premises in whatever premises may be and that the matter of racial identity shall not determine the right of a person to occupy the property which he lawfully possesses. They also demanded that a committee wait upon Sheriff Tracer regarding asserted action recently of several deputies who are asserted to have advised, colored families to move when threatened with white mobs because we do not need the function of that deputy to "fight" their highest but rather to make arrests and prosecute the mobs." What was said to be a thrust—at the Koi Klux Klan was embodied in the resolution which requested, the Shirifu's office and police department to refuse to carry on the pay roll of officers men who belong to a secret organization whose "known purpose is to override the data processes, of law and order on their own manner and after their own prejudices and to promote their own slister secret and un-American propaganda of religious-bigamy and racial hatreds. Ask Aid of Press The resolutions also depoemned the brutal beating recently of a, gored woman by a colored officer and condemned the police board for "white-washing" the officer after convincing testimony had been given against him. They demanded that he be suspended. White and colored real estate owners, whose sole purpose was identification for financial reward, appealed to the daily press was made that it be not "lux or indifferent in writing up the mob attacks for fear of implied impression of approval." In his address Rev. A. T. Shaw, pastor of the Wesley Church, declared that, the race prejudice in the North and West is a much more dangerous form than that encountered in the South. Much of the misunderstanding toward the black race, Rev Shaw said, is the result of ignorance and lack of knowledge on the part of the whites. "The character of the Negroes on the Pacific Coast," he said, "measures up to the average of any other group. We have the same spirit of loyalty to the country and its Constitution, but we demand as Americans born in this country, equal rights with other nationalities. When we be communities in a community we want our white friends to deal with us according to the law relating to misbehavior and not with mob violence." Referring to segregation, Reshaw told the assemblage that "wherever it is legal for you to buy roverry according to law and you have the money, buy it and set up your home there." The wisest thing the Pacific Coast can do, in view of future development, he said, will be to make the sq. ion cosmopolitan rather than Caucasian. Other speakers included Assemblyman F. M. Roberts, Dr. H. C. Hudson and Dr. J. A. Somerville.

Several of the richest Chicago Negroes are members of the church, including Anthony Garton, president of the Overton Hygienic Company and of the Boughs National Bank, and Mrs. Jesse Bunga, wife of the president of the Overton Hygienic Company. Mr. Garton insisted that the church was insured against bombing for $25,000 and against fire for $200,000. The damage to the structure was estimated to have been $125,000, which is therefore covered by the insurance. Another $100,000 damage, was done in the immediate neighborhood in the breaking of windows and the tearing loose of residence and apartment-house foundations. Hundreds of whites were forced to leave their homes and to hire guards to protect their exposed personal property. INVESTIGATION AUCTION The study of the guilty person gets more attention and begins an investigation added by the Keystone National Detective Agency, which looks more hopeful than any move yet to apprehend the persons guilty of perpetrating bomb outrages against Nexxos in the last seven years. A search was begun Friday for fifteen whites; supposed to be ringleaders in certain protective as solutions which have been ridden with violence, the officers buy from white distracters. It is reported that information was given to the St. Louis's attorney's office by a colored woman who has been "passing" and attending meetings where the plans were discussed. This is expected to prove of inestimable value in apprehending the guilty parties. Witness Gives Police Clue Police report: that a witness has been found who said that five minutes before the explosion of the dynamic bomb, about 3:45 a.m., he saw a car-ing car parked at the earth's surface. He said, he said, left the machine and approved the building. He then ran to the car and was driven east in 53rd street. There were three men in the garage which bore no lights, nor license plates, the witness said. The bomb was placed under an archway connecting the main church structure with a community house. The entire inside of the building was cut and the walls so weakened may fall. The police believe that a man was injured. Firgenau say that when they arrived they found the night watchman on his knees in prayer and almost fainting with terror. CONDITIONS IN VIRGINIA Nigeria is a British colony on the west coast of Africa. It is situated on the River Niger. The population is 18,000,000 Europeans and natives their occupations being mostly agriculture, fishing, and weaving.

This practice holds true of certain sections. In some other sections tillage operations are on a higher standard. Nevertheless even that standard is not to be commended. Here the hoe is used for digging up the soil and making mounds for crops, corn, beans and yams. Planting is done by digging holes in the mounds made, dropping three to six seeds into the hole, and then smoothing it over. Inter-cultivation is practiced. Farmers go out at various intervals to chop down weeds; the hoe is used for this purpose. Horses, though to be found in Nigeria, are not made use of in farming.

'You know me Al.' veteran guard, showed his ability, on the right side, while rhodes, of last year, scrubs, displayed cleverness on the left side. 'Corgi Horn and Beet' Bucknaird rights and both kills of new origin have won regular births and exhibited their skill both on the offensive and defensive. 'Captain McCray,' the double Mc and C. Gordon, the dependable, played remarkable ends for the Maroon and White team. Baker, the sensational quarter, showed his skill while 'White' McGhee made considerable gain in his time plunging. John Brown; who steps in the shoes of H. Green, shows that he is to be the young star, while Culp also exhibited speed and foot-ball knowledge. In the first quarter of the game, touchdowns by Dickerson, C. Gordon and J. Brown and successive drop kicks by Baker, for two extra points, brought the score to 20. The second quarter, rallied by Dickerson, the plunge and then on an end run. Only one extra point was made, that on the second touchdown; a pass to Gordon falling after the first. In the third quarter, "Dick" went over again, but it pass to Gordon failed for the extra point. In the fourth quarter, Gresham, new quarterback from George R. Smith College, failed in an attempt to drop kick for the extra point. McDuff McCrary received a pass from Dickerson for the other touchdown. An intercepted pass was the result of an attempt for the Bear at Albany.

Oct. 20—On a field of mud and water the Howard University "Bisons" lined up against the Johnson C. Smith "Bulls" of Charlotte, North Carolina, in a thrilling football game on the University Campus, Saturday afternoon, October 7th, the final score 9-0. The "Bulls" won the toss and the "Bisons" kicked off, the ball landing on Johnson on October 15th and on the first quarter the game was fought in mud, each team testing the others strength, the quarter ending with the ball on the "Bulls" 25 yard line. Howard opened up the second quarter with plenty of drives. The "Bulls" opened an aerial attack but were unsuccessful in making many decisive gains. Johnson C. Smith kicked to Howard in the second half. They opened up another aerial attack which was equally unsuccessful for them. "Tick" Smith, stellar Howard back, intercepted a pass and Howard for a touchdown. In the last quarter the "Bulls" depended entirely on forward passes which gained them nothing. The "Bilson" got to the "Bulls" 2 yard line, but lacked punch to put the baff over. The "Bilson" line was a tower of strength. The work of Martin, Dokes and Campbell, Tyson, Dodson, THE ST.

How Gwyneth Morphley, 18 year-old girl working in a spinning mill at Keighley, in Yorkshire was for a year, haunted by a misbehavioural ghost, and how she was recently "cured" after three months' treatment at the British College of Psychic Satellite has just been known. It was in the mill where she worked that it first was discovered that something was wrong, with Miss Morley. Threads in the three spinning frames in the room where she was employed were breaking constant, but it was not until she had but could find no reason for this and the Woolen and Worsted Research Association similarly failed. At the girl's home there frequently were strange manifestations also. Pictures fell from the walls, and while Gwyneth was subject to enquiries from the furniture moved about in an unaccountable manner.

The turmofl of a highly and doubly coveted gridiron struggle subsided, and Hampton remains still the master of the St. Paul Tigers for the first time. The two great rivals resumed competition. History repeated itself as the Seasiders walked triumphantly back to their home by the sea on the long end of a 30.0 score. This event marked Hampton's first victory out of two starts this season, having dropped the first gate to Seminary. Contrary to reportu sent out that Livingstone had defeated the Seasiders, Hampton did not encounter the "Tar Heels. Livermore" game with Hampton just a few weeks before it was to be stared. The Seasiders play V. N. I. I. next week at Hampton, and all indications point to a hard battle. TEXAS COLLEGE TIED JARVIS INSTITUTE TYLER, Texas. October 17, 1925 —Texas College in its opening game was held to a 6-6 tie by Javaris Christian Institute. Fumbles and severe penalties aided the Jarvisites in getting within 12 feet of the goal. Grant in successive line plagues carried the ball over for Jarvis to touchdown. College gained in the second half in the exchange of punts. A blocked kick recovered by Jones behind the goal line gave Coach Lang's men their six points. Grant starred for Jarvis while Ford and Jones did stellar work for Texas College.

Flates Leave Her One doctor was due Morley the whole thing was due to bysteria. Another doctor in the act of ridiculing the "spirit" was astonished to see the table in his waiting room upset. The girl's employers gave her a rest and when she returned to work in April they transferred her to the factory canteen where "the manifestations" continued to an aggravated form. The girl was on the oven when the young woman was four feet away, and an iron iron jumped off the table as she walked past. Another time as she was leaving the kitchen a pudding jumped out of a bowl five feet from her. A doctor who placed a grounded wire near her said enough sparks were coming to light a cigarette. At this point the case was reported to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. More Crockery Brothers "I suggested," he said "that she should have a long bed and get a bath. Such beddings and these are not unknown and are caused by a kind of mischievous spirit. I happened to tell Hewitt McKenzie of the British College Psychic Science about the case, and I asked her to spend three months there for treatment and rest. "While she was there I understand that about $200 worth of crockery was broken but eventually the girl was cursed. Those things concerned is in a low condition of health. I imagine that she is now well enough to have thrown off this misbehavious spirit." PREACHES IN A TRANCE; FURNISHES A PUZZLE LEESVILLE, S. C., Oct. 21. A strange case of apparent dual personality, is attracting, such attention here that a committee of physicians and psychologists are preparing to examine the subject—Maj. Perry. 50-year-old Negro, and former slave, who is illiterate when awake, but who delivers scholarly sermons in perfect English when asleep. Perry lives four miles north of Lesville in the lower edge of Saarland's oyster unprotected peatlands at the unprotected coast. (Courtesy) TALLOW LARD joy of long, luxuriant tresses.

While awake he speaks in dialect of the unlettered Negro and finds it impossible to speak in English, a verse from the Bible. But when he enters into the strange trances that he seems able to summon at will he becomes an entirely different person. He speaks with the precision of a student of English and quotes entire chapters from the Bible without error or hesitance. Youaches For Him The statements are touched for by the Rev. Frank M. Graham, evangelist of Green County, Ga., who recently visited Perry at his home near here by J. W. Holley, who prepared an article on the strait, old Negro to the slave with the old Negro to the slave by the editor of the Edison Wagner, S. C., who wrote a little cabin to study the prairies in his sleep the mermaid that fall from the lips of the old man as he lies in a tra EACH Sermon Different The evangelist, Frank M. Graham, has known Perry for a long and says the man is a fellow with two personalities, one being in control when he is awake, the other in sleep. The more superstitious advance the theory that Perry received a "call" to preach, but refused to heed the call. The Holy Ghost, however, not to the outdistance takes possession of him when he is asleep, they say, and uses him as a mouthpiece to deliver messages from God to men upon earth. The suggestion has been made that Perry has learned a sermon coached in chosen words, which he delivered while shamming a trance. The answer to this is that no two of them are the same, and each contains different quotations from the Bible. The quotations are not confined to any particular verses or chapters, but range through all the books of both New and Old Testaments. Remembers Nothing Dr. Graham, in describing Maj. Perry's method of preaching in his sleep, says that the old man will lie upon a couch and almost im- mediately drop into a trance. fn about 15 minutes his lips begin to move and the words of a hymn issue forth. When the song is done, the sermon begins and con- PAGE SEVEN times steadily until the speaker has finished. J.-W. Holder, writing in the Twin City, Nebraska: "Living four miles north of here is one of the most wonderful human beings in the world. Though 90 years old, a former slave, able neither to read nor write, yet he reaches a german almost every night of his life. He takes his gift of giving and shares it with his never-never-behaved daughter in mistake. He quotes the Bible as correctly as the best educated man. One strange thing is that when he awakes, he remembers nothing about what he has preached." SCHOOL CHILDREN BUILD MINATURE CITY IN NEW PROADER TRAINING MOVE SPRINGFIELD, Mo.

The Board of Education of Springfield furnished its school children the necessary building material to inaugurate the plan, and made it a part of the course of training in the manual training department of Springfield's schools and the children did the rest, building the miniature town in Convention ball on October 11 with the four foots at the completion of the city a regular "city government" was installed through the usual process of the ballot, and the Mayor was sent on a visit to President Coolidge with an invitation signed by the 12,000 school children of Springfield asking him to visit their town and be its guest. New ideas that everybody laughs at today are the big ideas of the future. The St. Louis Argus PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS PUBLISHING CO. 2312-14 Market St. St. Louis, Mo.

It instiles and holds together more baseness, cruelty and abomination than any other sort of error in the world." —H. G. Wells 18. PRESIDENT COOLIDGE SINCERE After a careful reading of the Omnialia speech, we President Coolidge, we find we are unable to be so enthusiastic as many of our contemporaries, over this speech. We have searched high and low diligently and minutely to discover the sincere cloak but are unable to find it. There was little said that could be construed to refer to the Negroes of this country. However, much stress and favorable comment have been made on the following paragraph: "The result of the war will be last, certainly be entering a period of preparation for another conflict, unless we can demobilize the fidel antigunners, fears hatreds and suspicions and create an attitude of toleration, and I believe that the place where it should begin is at home." We heartily agree with The President that "The place where it should begin is at home." These racial antagonisms, hatreds and suspicions were begin here at home and the "demobilizing" of them certainly should begin where they originated. The question of sincerity arises when we think of the President as the Chief Executive of this great country and having the power within his grasp to initiate the "demobilizing" by starting within his own Governmental departments. In another sentence he said: "Among some of the varying racial, religious and social groups of our people there have been manifestations of an intolerance of opinion, a narrowness of outlook, a fixity of judgment, against which we may well be warned." In the Governmental departments he will find a "fixity of judgment" that existed even before the world war and it has not been demobilized since the war. However, if the President is sincere, in his quoted statement that he believes that it should begin at home, then he can begin, it, by issuing an executive order eliminating some of the "fixity of judgment" which segregates, discriminates against and fosters "disregard for the opinion and feelings of the minorities" of the colored employees under the civil service, in the various departments there in Washington. Unless words are uttered in sincerity there is no weight to them and little hope could be held out for the carrying out of a program thereby described. Action following an expression adds much to the power of the expression. The attitude which the President has manifested toward the Negro, certainly does not warrant suchEssay maintained by many of our papers over this speech in Omaha. We realize that there is a general ground swell of desire, yea craving for action on the parts of the President to relieve many of the ills suffered by the Negroes of this great country of ours. Therefore, when this Republican President let a precious few words drop in Omaha, slightly referring to the race and its ills, craving hearts grabbed at the haunt and ran off with it without giving it due consideration which it warrants. When we take into consideration that President Coolidge has been in the chair for more than two years and he has not made a single appointment of a colored man to an office of any importance. That he continues Col. C. C. Sherrill's Democrat of North Carolina, in office in charge of building and grounds in the District. That this same Sherrill is responsible for the insulting and humiliating segregation of colored people at the dedication of the Lincoln Memorial. That he is responsible for the segregation of Negroes on the golf links, at the batting beach, on the baseball diamonds, the tennis grounds and at the restaurants in the Capitol building. The segregation of Negroes in the various departments there in Washington has been brought to his personal attention a number of times. He is well aware of the disaffirmation of American citizens in a number of states. His department of Justice is cognizant of the wide spread ponage system of the south. And he is aware of the unranging lawlessness of the Klan. Therefore, with this array of evidence before us, we cannot but ask the question, "Is the President Sincere?" If he is, then when will he begin to demobilize? CONGRATULATIONS. BISHOP CLEAVES The news of the removal of one Rev. (2) L. Having Kuykendall, as pastor of the C. M.-E. Church at Vandalia, following the exposure by The Argus of his acceptance of Klan money, comes to us in the course of time. We hereby congratulate Bishop Cleaves for this action which, we believe, is not only of interest to the great C. M.-E. Church, but to all the race. Of course, there are always those who will say that he did not "get justice." Therefore, we want to be counted in the front rank of those who complain. We hold that Rev. Kuykendall did not get justice. He ought to have been untricked if it was in the power of the Bishop and the conference to do so. We can't for the life of us, see that such a man is hit to stand between the consecrated walls of a church and preach righteousness to a people, because he is either too ignorant or too dishonest to be a leader. It is said that Kyenkendall justifies the visit of the Klan to his church on the ground that he "needed the money" referring to the $25.00 the members of the Klan donated on the occasion of their visit. This, to our mind, is all the more reason why he should be condemned. It is just the same as accepting blood money: money that is tainted with the very blood of the colored people. The Klan has a bloody record all the way from Texas to Main, and to accept money at their hands, when it is publicly known that they are your enemies, is really carrying things too far. The C. M. E. Church, the Bishop's Council or whoever has the power in the church, would silence this holy preacher and let him go his way, serving the devil in a public way. A few days ago, in this city, seven white men, in the broad open day time, raped a fourteen year old school girl. Just think of it. Seven white men, one right after the other, raping a helpless girl, and yet, they say that the Negro is the rapist of the land. Find, if you please, a similar case in which Negroes were even charged, and an argument might be raised. Make the world safe for school children. The death rate of aviators is going up while coming down. People who are afraid in the dark should drive light cars. The road to wealth often means a detour to the road of health. What this ourntry needs is that the little hands go to work on the tile lands. Remember a fellow with some good ideas and a little pop is not necessarily a radical. There are over 200 newspapers in Peking. Imagine that many editors fighting one another. "Wedding Party. Attacked By Ways."—headline. Did it take all that to realize someone had been stung? "Down On The Farm" was a fine old play. They might moderate it by calling it "Down And Out on the Farm." The penalty for stealing a woman's heart is worse than a life sentence; it means a lifetime of service. After all, the worst they have against Mr. Davies to date is that he owned played a tin dude in a Democratic parade. Our idea of a questionable conclusion is a vote of only three or four alien judges as to who is the prettiest girl in America. In life, Legion speech President Obama certainly told us about the bigots, but we note that he didn't say much about the stigues. Who remembers when they used to laugh at the fellows who predicted that some day anti-mobile traffic would become a problem? It's worse than that; it's a meme. The Grocery Bill Groovymen— certainly have—their nerve demanding payment for such mery commodities as sugar, flour and potatoes, when we have such great need of gas, oil, air, water, tires, sparkplugs, humphrels, crankcase service and accessories. Know When You're Licked! A prominent manufacturer said recently that many people are held back in life because they will not forget defeat. His point was strikingly made to show that too often people spend too much time bemoaning temporary losses. There are too many "post mortem" examinations, held over the "remains of a bright ider that failed." The same time and effort spent in brooding over a past transaction or incidental defeat could be employ more profitably in reemerging the next task: for, in the lives of all of us, that next task will surely come. Representative Martin Madden of Illinois, denounces the way money has been spent by the air and many departments in the purchase of use less equipment. As long as nations "experiment with war instead of peace, experiment with 'international' discord instead of international friendship and brotherhood, experiment with racial differences instead of recognized and harmonious racial distinctions, we may book for little money frittered away and there is trying out a new gun or a new kind of bomb or propeller. There is a good deal of superficiality going on in the various "investigations" so sprout in present day affairs. Down deep in the hearts of the countrymen is a desire to see a greater effort towards removal of causes than adjustment of effects. SEATTLE CITIZENS HOLD CITIZENSHIP CELEBRATION SEATTLE CITIZENS HOLD CITIZENSHIP CELEBRATION SEATTLE, Wash. Oct. 21- Seattle colored colleges, held a six-day celebration last week, commemorating sixty years of progress and achievement as American citizens.

Comment and Opinion Comment and Opinion Devoted to a Discussion of Social and Civic Problems and Events By GORDON H. SIMPSON Executive Secretary, Urban League of St. Louis THOSE BOND ISSUE IMPROVEMENTS Two years ago, St. Louis passed an $80,000,000 Bond Issue Improvement program. The decision of the voters of St. Louis was unanimous for the proposed, city-wide improvement of municipal facilities. Civic publicly experts heralded to the country what a wonderful city St. Louis would be when all of these improvements were put in effect. Most St. Louisans took just pride in these improvements. Our city was, at last, going to pull itself out of gasoline, muddy streets, inadequate water supply and lack of civic recreational facilities. This wonderful program of improvement, included, among other things, a new City Hospital No. 2 improvement of our present playgrounds, to together, with several additional playgrounds, bath houses and swimming pools, for the colored population of the date, outside of us, miserable disease, the location of the new City Hospital No. 2 delithe decision has been announced regarding these improvements, although Coloured St. Louis is looking forward to such an announcement. We used bath houses and need them badly, because of the lack of modern bath equipment in a considerable number of houses in the older section of the city. We need swimming pools; where our girls, men and women have the wholesome recreation and ingestive health which comes from swimming. We need playgrounds and still more playgrounds, for as a matter of fact, almost (69% of the Colored population living east of Grand is provided with only one-fourth square at Leffingwell and Lawton for municipal recreation). We need a new City Hospital No.2 and need it badly. Winter is coming and in a few weeks, our present facilities will not be sufficient, and it will be necessary to use inadequate quarters. Under such circumstances, it is utterly impossible to render efficient service to the sick and afflicted. Colored St. Louis will await the development of the Bond Issue improvement with a great deal of interest during the next few months and will greet with enthusiasm, the decision for definite action concerning the recreational and health facilities greatly needed for the health and welfare of our section of the population. 1 KILLED, 4 INJURED WHEN ELEVATOR FALLS 1 KILLED, 4 INJURED WHEN ELEVATOR FALLS Cable Breaks As Colored Operator Starts Car From Fifth Story Of Apartments NEW YORK, Oct. 21—Albert McCory, 37, of 298 West 129th street, a colored elevator operator, suffered a broken leg, and one woman was killed and three others seriously injured when an elevator in an apartment at 329 West 111th floor, fell six stories to the basement Saturday. All the women lived on the fifth floor and McCory had taken the elevator to the floor in answer to their calls. The women entered the car, McCory closed the door and turned the starting wheel when the cable snapped and the car fell. The crash of the falling car and the women's screams were heard by tenants in the building and by Martin Anderson, who had been the superintendent for twenty years. Police officers and surgeons were summoned. The wrecked the elevator car and the dwarf were buried beneath the debris. The taken out by policemen and firemen was obstruction surgeons gave them emergency treatment and took them to the Kitchener bocker Hospital, where they are all in a serious condition. Anderson told Captain Thompson of the West 100th Street Police Station that the building was owned by Frank T. Ormsby of Easton, Pa. He said the elevator had been inspected and was found in good working order. The District Attorney's office and the City Building Department commenced an investigation. ALPHA KAPPA ALPHA ESTABLISHES NEW FUND ALPHA KAPPA ALPHA ESTABLISHES NEW FUND Four years ago Gamma Omega Chapter of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority established a scholarship (fund for girl graduates of our local high school who wished to complete their education at some college or university. In June, 1925, two $100,000 scholarships were awarded, the new one going to the ranking student of both the January and June classes. The Sorority plans to continue this practice. And yet there is much to be done for our girls trying to obtain a higher education. Frequently the Sorority has been appealed to for aid for girls already away at school. Some times a small contribution will tide over a financial crisis and encourage the girl to go on. Whenever possible, the Sorority has met such demands by individual voluntary contribution, but this year the Sorority is seeking a definite fund that such work can be made on a much larger basis. The proceeds from the Carnival Dance to be given Thursday, October 29th, at Pythian Hall, will be used to establish such a fund.

Williams, Pastor NATIONAL NEGRO LABOR CONGRESS CONVENE SUNDAY Expect 500 Delegates From All Over United States Will Fight For Causes Of The Race In General CHICAGO, Ill., Oct. 21—The date draws near for the opening of the American Negro Labor Congress here on October 25th. There are many reasons to believe that this day, the 25th of October, will bring a new page to the history of the Negro in this country and the American Labor movement. In witnessing the local conferences which have taken place, these conferences having for their purpose the clearing of delegates to the American Labor Congress at Chicago, the National Organizer feels justified in saying that Chicago will witness a conference of labor in this city, numbering some 500 delegates and representing hundreds of thousands of organized proletarians of the Race. Champion of Justice The aim of the American Negro Labor Congress is to mobilize and to coordinate into a fighting machine the most catholicized and militant and class-conscious workers of the Race in the struggle for the abolition of lynching, Jim-crowism, industrial discrimination, political distrust, disregregation, etc., the organizers decide. The middle west embraces one of the most important sections of the industrial life of the nation. It is in these parts where hundreds of thousands of Negroes have come up from the South and settled during and since the war. They recognize that, having left a most miserable system of racial persecution in the Southern states, they now find themselves under the most painful system of industrial exploitation. Workers Seek Aid Thousands of Negroes in the iron and coal mines of Alabama, steel mills of Pennsylvania and Ohio and Illinois, coal mines of the Virginia, great turbines of the Georgia and Florida, cotton mills and plantations of Arkansas and Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi have been named by the urgent call for a congress representative of American Negro Labor, and their delegates are coming—coming in great numbers, to lay before this body the grievances daily, weighing heavily upon the life of this great mass of black workers and to formulate forthwith plans of organization and methods of combat for the liberation of their class. In view of the many futile appeals to the National Congress at Washington to make lynching a federal crime, the American Negro Labor "Congress shall propose that the seat of action be changed to the masses themselves and shall endeavor to stimulate and promote the organizing of inter-racial committees throughout the nation with the aim of bringing about a better feeling between black and white worker as a remedy against lynching and race riots. Racial antagonism arise from class exploitation. Racial injustice is an inherent thing in the marking of the individual. The American Negro Labor P. S. S. REV. DR. NOAH W. WILLIAMS gress will be composed of delegates from the various Negro labor unions, from mixed unions (white and black) from unorganized factory groups of Negro workers, of representatives from groups of Negro agricultural workers, and of individual alcoates, both Negro and white, who are well known for their championship of the cause of the Negro working class in particular. The American Negro Labor Congress will assume an attitude of hopefulness toward the many groups in every part of the country which are at present agitating a nation-white campaign for shorter hours of the working day for both men and women TWO KILLED, FOUR HURT IS TOLL OF SERIES OF AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS TWO KILLED, FOUR HURT IS TOLL OF SERIES OF AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS A series of automobile accidents occurred during the week resulting in the death of two persons; the injury of four. LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Oct. 21. Robert Bassman was killed instantly and a companion suffered a price suffered serious injuries about the road, when an automobile in which he riding went over a sharp embankment on the English Pike at Laster's gin about thirty miles southeast of here.

Negroes Serve With Whites On Jury In Mississippi LEXINGTON, Miss., Oct. 21—Principally for the first time in the history of the State of Mississippi and the South as well have Negroes been placed on the juries to serve with white men in the dispensation of justice.

Christianity Is Needed At Home. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 21.—In an address to the annual conference of Congregational Churches here Tuesday, President Coolidge made a strong appeal for the inculcation of a broad and substantial religious influence among the citizen of the United States as a solution to the largest problem he spoke of as being too prevalent. Fail Without Religion "I can conceive of no adequate remedy for the evils, which besets society except through the influences of religion," the president declared. There is no form of education, government, or policy which will not fail; redemption must come through sacrifice, and sacrifice is the essence of religion. AD 10 FUTURE Religion is the highest appl. in adding some of the present day problems, especially lawlessness, when there is a very healthy and determined public sentiment in favor of the observance of the president emphasized sharply in the press the utmost ingenuity on the part of the powers will be substantially "all wasted in an effort to enforce the law. If there does not exist, a strong and vigorous determination on the part of the people to observe the determination cannot be produced by government. My own opinion is that it is furnished by religion. Home—A Shrine "While I am greatly power for religious teaching that we have, I do not refer to them alone. I am conscious that the example of devoted men and women, the result of the inevitable social relations and, above all, the influx of the home, the home are forces of enormity in religion. While certain formalities of the past may have lost the hold they once had, I do not see any diminution in the steadfastness of the religious convictions of the people." the president expressed his belief the strength of faith were showing increased faith and devotion to religion. BEAUMONT, Tex., Oct. 21—One hundred residents of Lufkin, near here, and Angelina County, who are believed to be members of the Ku Klux Klan have been cited to appear in the district court at Lufkin Oct. 26 to answer suit for $100,000.

PART TWO FEDERAL CHU TO MAKE A BETTER RAC Supreme Domestic Task Before Churches In America To-Day Is Fight Against Racial Prejudices and Intolerance. CHURCH MUST WORK LYNCHING IN THE LAND As segregation, proscriptions, and race intolerance become more evident in this country, other agencies are not asleep to the danger of the situation. One of the agencies that is working among all races, is the Federal Church Council of the Church of Christ in America. In a statement recently issued by the Commission on Race Relations of that body, the churches and the Christian people of the nation are called upon to rally their forces to bring about the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God. The Commission's report was as The Commission's report was as follows: "We have come to a period of the world when the peaceful relations of racial groups in daily life are vital to the domestic peace and prosperity of every nation and to all the nations. The assumption of inherent racial superiority by dominant groups around the world is neither supported by science nor justified, by ethics. The effort to adjust race relations upon that basis and by the use of force is denial of the Christian principles of the inherent superiority of ethical values and the supreme worth of personality. As it applies to the relations of white and Negro people in America it is a philosophy that leads only to suffering and despair. "On the other hand to demonstrate that Christian ideals are sufficient to solve the difficult problems of race relations in America is the supreme domestic task before the churches today: Christians must seek as never before to remove suspicions, fears, misunderstandings, and prejudices between racial groups and to foster mutual understanding, tolerance, respect for personality, and the spirit of co-operation. We must replace attitudes and customs based upon past fears and hatreds by those based upon mutual interests and present services. "For policies and methods of work to that end, in the spirit of Jesus Christ and under the guidance of God, we commend to the churches of America the following: "FACE THE FACTS: Let the churches of America continue their study and discussion groups and the use of their pulpits and lecture platforms to bring the facts of race and race relations to the light of day. Let them help the newspapers and magazine to give larger space and attention to the whole range of information. "The churches should continue to create a literature which shall fearlessly present the truth in this field. The experience of history, the knowledge of science, and the ethics and spiritual values of religion are all needed as guides toward peace and goodwill between the races. In increasing-degree the preparation and publication of such literature is a service the churches are obliged to render. NEW WEST West Belle Place and LET THE ARGUS BE YOUR SHOPPING GUIDE. IF YOU DO NOT SEE YOUR MERCHANT'S ADVERTISEMENT IN THE ARGUS, ASK HIM THE REASON. "INTERRACIAL CONFERENCES. The past years have demonstrated the effective utility of conferences between thoughtful, conscientious leaders of racial groups to discuss conditions that confront them and to adopt plans to deal with the situation. These conferences have been most effective where surveys have been made by competent persons beforehand to secure data as a basis for such conferences and program making. We urge the churches to foster and support such surveys, and conferences. "Contacts of the white and Negro people in America, are largely made during unpleasant experiences of toll and stricte. The churches afford strategic avenues of friendly fellowship under conditions, that make for racial respect and mutual confidence. The annual observance of race relations Sunday is commended as a step in this direction. "INTERRACIAL COMMITTEES: experience has shown that small committees of white and colored men and women have been indispensable for effectively carrying out constructive programs, to improve conditions and race relations especially in local communities. Let the Christians and churches of each community and of the nation increasingly give attention, service, and support to such committees. "JUSTICE THROUGH LAW: The churches have joined the campaign to abolish lynching in our land. That campaign has met with success as shown in the rapid reduction of the civil. Let the churches continue the crusade until America is a lynchness land. Let us go forward with a campaign for speedy and impartial trial for those accused of crime and for justice in the courts that shall guarantee to every citizen, irrespective of creed or color, full protection of our laws. "ECONOMIC JUSTICE: The Negro as a producer has many hand-caps in agriculture, industry, and commerce because his white neighbors do not regard, him as a man to be dealt with on the basis of capacity or worth. The voice and nand of the churches and of Christians generally should be raised that equal economic opportunity shall be accorded to every person on the basis of his ability. Amicable race relations in industry and business are of vital concern to religion. "Removal of Discrimination: The churches of America have a challenge to the very principles they profess in the discriminations in housing conditions, school facilities, travel accommodations, and other public provision of our communities. For the sake of our own ideals as well as for the protection of our fellow citizens, we are called upon to abolish and to prevent these discriminations.

Hallowen is fast approaching, and every one seems to be "head over heels" about what to mask in what to serve at the party, how to wear the invitations and how to disarm the reception room. Send in any suggestions to our "Hallowen Special" for next week and let its benefit by your suggestions. We anticipate having our Halloween Spee at edition a column to be the theoretically recorded in the annals of history. Sister Susan anticipates hearing from all Kowalski. A RED CARNATION In a modern apartment on Fifth avenue, six she lovers. Fifth Keats, an adventurer of the deepest dye, is pretending that she sincerely loves Dan Southernland. Dan, a handsome man of 30, is hopelessly infatuated with Fifi and is blind to her deceitfulness. Fifi's one ambition is the desire for money, and Dan is an easy catch. Once more within his arms, she plays the part of an ardent lower, raising her eyes to his, she meets his lips in a long passionje kiss, then she kisses him again. Lightly he runs from the house, jumps into his readster and speeds to his wealthy home. It is the hot morning air blowing; on her cheeks that makes Fifi awake from her slumber. Glancing at the clock, she is surprised to find it so near the time for her dance, so she makes hustle. Ellis Hartington is to accompany her there, and her face flushed with excitement. The dances proved to be a success and Fifi's heart became lighter with the wine until she is giddy and full of silly giggles. Ellis takes Fifi home.

State ..... HOW TO KEEP THE BOY AND GIRL ON THE FARM JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. Oct. 19—The other day Messrs. Will Murray and Lewis Murray called at the office of the State Department of Education inquiring about re-establishing the Gravel School, which is located three miles north of Cedar City, Mo. It appears that the legal number of 15 children are in the district, but owing to the fact that after the school was started the attendance fell below 5 pupil per day, and the school was discontinued by the local board. The men who called at the office talked very intelligently about the situation and were very eager to see what could be done in the matter. Mr. W. W. Gibbany, a liberabinded educator of the Department, encouraged the men too go back and do what they could to have a meeting of the colored people, in order to get them interested in sending their children to school. He informed them that Mr. N. C. Bruce, Inspector of Negro schools, would visit the community in the very near future to ONLY 9 DAYS LEFT!! Stock Advances Nov.1 SINCE 1920 TO LEASE After November First, Peoples Stock advances to $35.00 per share. Until that time, the price will be $25.00 per share. The increase in price of this stock is due to INCREASED RESOURCES, INCREASED SERVICE and INCREASED BUSINESS. INCREASED RESOURCES—This year has been the LARGEST in our history. The Resources will be nearly $1,000,000.00. No other Finance Company approaches Peoples in size and strength. Our Building is the finest structure of its kind anywhere in the world, owned and operated by Negroes. INCREASED SERVICE—To meet the present needs of St. Louis, we are adding 3 new departments on January 1st—SAFE DEPOSIT, REAL ESTATE AND INVESTMENT. The Peoples Finance Corporation by January 1st will be able to care for your every financial need. SUCH COMPLETE FINANCIAL SERVICE AMONG NEGROES EXISTS NOWHERE ELSE IN AMERICA. INCREASED BUSINESS—Besides erecting our $400,000 five story building, our loans this year will amount to $300,000. Think of it! Upon these facts we invite you to increase your holdings in this substantial enterprise. Remember. AFTER NOVEMBER FIRST THE PRICE WILL BE ADVANCED TO $35.00 PER SHARE!

There may be other communities in the same condition. They may have sufficient number of children, but the parents do not see the necessity of going and asking for the privileges which may be theirs for the asking. Schools are very necessary; education is a crying need. The parents are responsible for the education of their children. There is many a boy and girl who leaves home because he feels that he ought to have a larger outlook. He leaves home, he says in many cases, in search of education. When they reach the city they find many obstacles coming up in their way to defeat their purposes, unless their parents are in the city making a sacrifice for their education. The young people rarely succeed in getting what they go after. It is a pitable sight to note the number of people of middle age who can hardly write their names. They are honest, hard-working, and thoroughly dependable, yet without education. "In many cases they hold their jobs because of their willingness to do. As time goes on, they lose their places in the economic life of the city and become a burden on society. The men called at the office of the Department of Education were thoroughly imbued with the idea that the children of their community should have an education. Here and there we find persons saying that our group should remain on the farm. You cannot expect the energetic, thorough-going, intelligent and aspiring Negro to remain on the farm where without educational facilities they are shrouded in darkness. For certainly there is no light unless the school is in operation. The ambition of most men seems to be the discovery of some method whereby the necessity for muscular effort can be avoided; EPISCOPALIANS CHOOSE D. C. FOR 1928 MEETING Eudget $4,500,000. Pass Resolutions to Restore Church School Appropriations. NEW ORLEANS, La., Oct. 21—The house of deputies Monday unanimously adopted a resolution making Washington, D.C., the meeting place for the 1928 general convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church. The idea on October 11. The selection must be approved by the house of deputies, which with the house of deputies is in triennial convention here. The revised budget of the Episcopal Church for 1926 submitted to the general convention Monday—was $1212,376. The report of the joint commission on budget and program showed that the quotas required total $3,510,000. From the budget was deducted $702,376 representing interest in invested funds, and the united thanks offering and interest. The 1926 budget as originally submitted was $4,260,000, but agreement of the directors to wipe out the church deficit 1925 general convention will assume permitted the withdrawal of $444,430 proposed payment on the deficit. Increases recommended after the submission of the original budget totalled $176,800. The committee charged with consideration of the trigonal report of the optional council and the budget and program announced that after three extended hearings all decisions were unanimous. The report approved a resolution restoring upr. printings for church colleges to the budget. These included $10,000 for St. Stephens, New York, and $5,000 each for Trinity Harford, Conn., Holbert, Goneva, N.Y. University of the South, Swaney, Teum., and Kenyon, Gambier, Ohio. A TRADE MAKER PAGES 9 TO 14 RICHEST DIAMOND FIELDS IN AFRICA Thousands Of Natives, Controlled By A Few Hundred Whites, Work In The Belgian Congo. BELGIAN CONGO, South Africa, Oct. 14 - Africa is rightly called the land of riches. What are believed to be the largest diamond mines in the world, are located in this region. There are about fifty diamond mines here. A single company now employs nearly 25,000 workmen. A force of a few hundred white men direct thousands of natives. The new African mines, it is estimated, have diamond-bearing earth spread over 150,000 square miles. Since the region lies first south of the equator climatic conditions encountered are difficult. This region had rarely been penetrated until the discovery of diamonds. To reach it, a river journey of some 500 miles is necessary from the nearest railroad. It has been necessary in some places to cut away almost impenetrable jungle at great expense before mining operations could be commenced. In other regions, the diamond deposits are covered by deep sand, clay and silt. The equipment of the mines is modern and up to date. A narrow gauge railroad has been built and more than 1,000 miles of automobile roads constructed. Several powerful wireless stations are maintained by the diamond company to keep in touch with the outside world. The quality of the diamonds CONTINUED ON PAGE 14 Shave Without A Razor Magic Shaving Powder will give you a clean, healthy shave without using a razor.

Lesson for October 25 PAUL IN EPHESUS LESSON TEXT—Acts 19:1-41 GOLDEN TEXT—"For the love of money is the root of all evil." —1 Tim. 6 FOR PRIMARY TOPIC—Paul Tells Idols Mothers About JESUS JUNEFLY TOPIC—Paula. Preaching Siris Up a Riot. Sirus up a Riot. INTERNEDGE OF ANSENIOR TOP- IC DAILY DEATH. PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP- IC MONEY or christ. Alphes, an Alexandrian, Jew, an obsequio male and mihity in the Scripures, had preceded Pigul at Ephesus. He had diligently taught the things of the Lord, knowing only the bishop of John. When Aquila and Pisella heard him they per- ceived his lack of instruction in Christ than truth. Therefore, they took him and appointed unto him the way of God more perfectly. Having thus come into fuller light, they brethren gave him a letter of endorsement as he passed to other fields. L. John's Disciples Become Christians (v. 1-7). These 12 disciples had been taught only the baptism of repentance as a preparation for the kingdom of God. Paul taught them to believe on Christ, 1 to receive Him as the One on the trees who had provided redemption for them. When they received Christ, Paul had bands upon them and they received the Holy Spirit. H. Paul Preaching in Ephesus (vv. 8-10). I. In the Jewish Synagogue (v. 8). Through the Jews were Paul's invitee embodying his rule was to go to them first with the gospel. His preaching was characterized: (1) By boldness. He realized that God sent him, and that His authority was back of him. (2) By reason, God's message is in accord with the highest reason. (3) By persuasion. It is not enough to come boldly with a reasonable message. It must be accompanied by persuasion. (4) By speaking, "concerning the clement of God." He did not discourse on current events, literature or philosophy, but upon the message of salvation through Christ. 2. In the Schoolhouse of Tyrannus (vv. 9:10). The Jews, being enemies of the gospel of the grace of God, were only murdered by Paul's earnest preaching. Paul separated the disciples from them and resorted to the schoolhouse of Tyrannus. This was followed with glorious results. 11. God Working Miracles by Paul (vv. 11:10). Ephesus was noted for his wonderful workers. If Paul's ministry was to be successful here, God must in an extraordinary way put His seal upon His work. So wonderfully did he manifest His power that handler-creed was apt to bring from Paul's body heated the sick and cast out evil spirits. IV. A Glorious Awakening (vv. 17-11). 1. Fear Edith Upon All (vv. 17-11). News of the closing out of these evil spirits created impressions favorable to Christianity. 2. It brought to the Front Those Who Professed Faith in Christ, While Not Living Right Lives (vv. 18). They believed but had not broken from sin. 3. Gave Up the Practice of Black Aces (vv. 18). This might forms of jugglery by use of charms and magical words. They proved the gentleness of their actions by publicly burning their locks. 4. Uphold of the Silversmith at Ephesus (vv. 23-41). (1) The Occasion (vv. 23-24) This was the power of the gospel in destroying the infirm business of Demeterius and his followers. It was clear to them that idolatry was tolerated before the power of the gospel. (2) The Method (vv. 25-29) Demeterius, a bending business man, whose business was the stay of others of a similar nature, called a meeting and stated that much people had been turned from idolatry, and that the market for their wares was materially weakened. He appended to his followers: a. On the ground of business saying: "This, our craft, is in danger of being set at night." v. 27. b. On the ground of religious prejudice. He said: "The temple of the great goddess Diana shall be despoiled." v. 27). His speech gained his end. Christianity Christianity is no mere scheme of doctrine or of ethical practice, but is instead a kind of miracle, a power out of nature and above, descending into it; a historically supernatural movement on the world, that is visibly entered into it, and organized to be an institution in the person of Jesus Christ.—Horace Bushnell.

Genevieve-Clay packs as a bleach a toner of manes and to increase the blood supply in the face, but they cannot be used on all skins. Will be very glad to send you a formula if you will send self-addressed and stamped envelope, being very useful to us. Use the exact nature of your skins. Clay packs have a tendency to draw the skin and if it is already parched or dry, harmful results will follow. The hair of the Caucasian is round, of the Mongolian owl, while the hair of the true Negro type is flat or ribbon like. The oil which is forced along the shaft of the round and oval shaped hair runs down its entire length and furnishes the glossy and silken appearance. In account of its fatness, the Negro or Mongolian hair is soft and the natural oil falls off of the length of the hair; for this reason our scalp requires more massaging and attention than the scalp of the Caucasian or Mongolian. Madam Detroit—The Hairdressers' legislation law has not been passed in your state. However, it will only be a matter of a short time before this law becomes universal. You no doubt know that this law became effective in Illinois and Missouri on the first day of October of this year, the rightness of the requirements certain to the different states and there will be competence in cases where the operator is a graduate of accredited schools, or has been active in the profession for a certain period of time. It behooves everyone in the profession and those who are planning beauty culture as their life's work to study everything available on the job, not only to fit themselves to answer the question but to keep their own businesses up-to-date and efficient. LOLLIPOP EATERS ARE AIDS TO THE NORTHWEST OLYMPIA, Wash. Oct. 21—Noted for big trees and huge timbers, Washington state now has to accept an unusual reputation, that of making and shipping little sticks Because young America insists on having lollipops, millions of wooden sticks are sawed and planed here every day to supply the increasing demand of 90,000-stick stacks last year. Several stacks need to control the lollipop output, but bumpermen and woodworkers in the northwest have devoted much time to selecting proper trees, until now the supply depot is in this state. Native alder, spruce and hemlock are reduced from mighty trees to the tiny smoothed sticks. Inch planks three feet long are first sawed cut of the raw material. An machine reduces these to thin strips that are quarter in inch thick. These pieces are carried to a machine, which converts them into the well known sticks at the rate of 58,440 per hour. Millions are turned out monthly in near northwest woodworking plants. Several thousand the sucker sticks are shipped to hammackers over the land.

ANCIENT PRISON COMES TO LIGHT IN RICHMOND Dungeons With Chains, Irons And Hars, Unearched 10 Feet Below Ground RICHMOND, Va. Oct. 21. Roles that bear testimony to the existence of a subterranean prison have been at the second and Carr Street came upon the corridor into which a row of these dangerous opened. Massive iron gates and windows came into the picture as the excavators picked picks and shovels. The metal fixtures of the prison had been buried probably 200 years later, research into the history of the place disclosed, yet much remains in a little piece of preservation. The fuselings of gates and windows gave way as the earth about them was towed by the diggers, and they weighed casually removed. The collection of relics unearthed in various pieces of metal which could not be identified as to the uses they had served. The cell windows are of crosswork iron pattern, similar to prison windows now in use, suitable for the thickens. The cell doors are of the same ponderous design. The clerk of the Henrico Circuit Court, since it was established, and prior to that time employed at the Court House for many years, viewed the subterranean dungeons with keen interest. He declared that during his service of half a century at the Court House he had never come upon records giving any intimation of the existence of the underground chambers. Archives of the country, he said, said that the original Court House and jail were built in 1752. it is clearly apparent however, that the dungeons were constructed in the hillside many years earlier.

Copyright, 1925, by Associated Negro Press. Why are condemned criminals hanged on Friday and when was the first church built? J. H. A. DeKalb's The apostle has arisen by reason of the belief that 'Christ was crucified on Friday.' According to theology the first organized church was 'affected in the upper chamber of Jerusalem by Christ himself, but as to the dying church built as a place of worship, there is no record.' Can you tell me who was King Nana Amosu 411 and whose king don’t? L. K., Kansas, City, M. I have been unable to secure any information up to this subject. The name sounds Egyptian, but I know of no such king belonging to any or the Egyptian dynasties. Our class wishes to know what contributions the Negro has made to civilization? R. L., Bryan, Texas. An answer to this question would require too much a space. Would suggest that you secure a copy of 'The Children of the Sun' and study it in class. When you consider that nearly all of the great nations of antiquity Egypt, Babylon, Cinnabra, India Persia, Phoenice, Carthage, Greece and Rome were primarily of Armenian origin, you will then understand that the Negro's contributions to civilization have been effervescent. In the history which we study, Latina's History of the United States, nothing is said of the African-American's contributions to American civilization. Is there nothing worth while in these sixty years of freedom to receive recognition? M. D. L. Breven, Texas. The Negro has made contribution to American history, but when one insiders contributions to the thing we call human civilization, that is an other matter. Perhaps the only contribution to civilization that can be called an actual contribution is the Tuskegee idea of manual education. Otherwise, the Negro before and after these last sixty years has contributed thrice. Civilization itself, however, is the contribution of the African to the world, but this was made by the African of antiquity and not of today. Nor should you look for credit to the Negro in text books used in southern schools. That is against the opinion of the south, and any text books giving the Negro credit would not find a welcome. Was Enufiel, the founder of geometry, a Negro? A. K. L. Lincoln Nebr. Yes. He was a native, Egyptian and of African blood. He rose to eminence under the Prolemonis. Mr P. L. H. L. of Portland, Oregon, questions the assertion that Matt Henson reached the Pole with Pearl by asserting that the latter possibly never reached the Pole. In answer one can only say that the official Pole still stand until sufficient and degree is brought forth to disgive them. In the theory of evolution is the Ngro considered to be more to be apes species than the Negrites. B. L. M. Strucne, N. Y. Na. According to anthropologists there are as many variations to be found in the Nggrans in the North and one is a more the primal type than the other. Was Apop, the author of the famous Grecian tables, Ngro? F. G. T. Sedalia, Mo. Exidently. His contemporaries described him as a person in whom defended his head was long, nose that tips his' and peoplant a hump, back and compliment dark, from which he compelled his name Aesopus, being the same as Ethiopia. What was the immediate cause of the freedom of the slaves in the war of the Rebellion, B. C. S. Natech, Miss. The need of soldiers. The North had to have more soldiers and when the problem came up to Lincoln and the war department, the Negro was considered. In the debate it was argued that slaves could not be armed with property unless first freed and the result was the emancipation. See The Great Conspiracy by Horace Greeley. Which religion has more converts among the Africans 'Christianity' or Mohammedanism? F. K. J. Boston, Mass. Some memorabilia seen The Ten Commandments by D. Millie and in this picture the Egyptians are represented as white. How do you account for this? G. W. Ch'ago. Simplify that the American subversive the truth to his own devices. Everygyat Ecryptologist of today admits that the Egyptians were Negroid and that those of the Upper Nile were wholly black. Sometime ago I was told that a Negro built a railroad in Mexico for the Mexican government. Is it true and when was it built? H. H. T. Denver, Colo. In 1897, under the Diaz regime, a Canadian Engineering firm secured a contract to build several hundred miles of railway. This firm sent a colored engineer to take charge. He finished the construction to the entire satisfaction of the Mexican government. I met this man personally, but his name is forgotten. FURNITURE NEEDED FOR NASHVILLE THRIVING IN TOM LEE'S NEW HOME MIDST OF THE SOUTH Associated Negro Press WASHINGTON, D.

TYPEWRITING CHAMPION WASHINGTON, Oct. 21. Typewriting upon an Underwood machine at the rate of 165 words a minute, of faster than the world's mark made at the international Speed Championship at Madison Square Garden, last year, Cortez W. Peters, holder of the Underwood daimond medals, made a new record for high typewriting speed on an exhibition at the Lincoln Theatre last week, Young, Peters, who expects to enter the Madison Square Garden tests this year, is said to have a style similar to that of Otis Blaisdell (dollar) who hold the world's championship for several years. BRAVE NEGRO DEFIES THUGS IN ROBBERY NEW YORK 09.21 "Stick 'em up" These were the words that greeted William Rosley, porter at the Squirrel jewellery establishment, when he walked into the shop at 193 Sixth avenue. A gun was shoved into his side at the same time. Rosley responded by slinging the weapon of his defier. A struggle ensued, which it seemed the colored man was getting the best of until several heavy blows on his head, dealt from behind, laid him unconscious. When Rosley recovered in an ambulance a short time later to find his head covered with bandages and throbbing with dull pains, he learned that he had been the hero in a $75,000 hold-up. The man with whom he fought was the guard for four other thugs who robbed his employer's store. SAYS THE WHITE RACE IS STRUTTING INTO A FIGHT Associated Negro Press LONDON, England, Oct. 21. Perhaps the most important thought brought up at the church congress being held at Eastbourne, was that opened by Viscount Willingham, former governor of Bombay and Madrid, who, with other speakers, sounded the warning of the color peril which confronts the white race. These speakers pointed out that it is impossible to stamp from the human breast the desire for equal opportunity and equal recognition, and that a solid white front meant a solid colored front, yellow, red brown, and black. The Congress was reminded that the colored races which fought in the world war discovered defects in the white man's civilization and that the moral basis of eastern and African life is higher than that of the west. The Moslems are joining hands with the bolshevik because these latter treat them as equals. SOUTHERNERS TO IMPORT MEXICAN COTTON PICKERS Associated Negro Press MEMPHIS, Tenn. Oct. 21. Plantation owners in Texas, Mississippi and Tennessee are hoping that the acute labor shortage in the cotton fields will be relieved with the importation of Mexicans and colored families from the north. For sometime there has been an effort to entice Negro farmers back to the south, but it has met with so little success that the cotton magnates feel it may be easier and cheaper to import the Mexicans. Assoc iated Negro Press MEMPIH, Teem, Oct. 21 - Tou Le, who saved the lives of 32 white people when the U. S. S. Norman sank on May 8 about 16 miles below Memphis, in the Mississippi River, is ready to move into his new house which was purchased through contributions of citizens here as a re- ward of his bravery. While Tom is ready to move in, it has developed that Tom has little to "move in." To offset this condition another campaign is being launched to provide him and his family with adequate furni- ture to go into his new home. THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, OCT. 23, 1925 Associated Negro Press CLINTON, Texas, Oct. 21. --Nelghors who passed the home of the Rev. Lewis Todd last Saturday saw him digging a huge hole in the ground. When they inquired after his purpose, he explained, that he was digging his grave. The next morning he was found dead in bed. AVERS MORE PLAY WILL REDUCE WORLD'S HATREDS AND MISUNDERSTANDINGS ASHEVILLE, N. C. 02-11. That the world needs more time and facilities for play and recreation in order to promote fellowship and understanding, was stressed at the meeting of the Twelfth Recreation Congress here. At the same time announcement was made of a national contest for the improvement and beautification of playgrounds in order to give wider use to the 5093 public playgrounds in the United States and Canada. The Huntin Foundation of New York offers three awards of $500 each and 30 awards of $50 each to those communities whose playgrounds show the greatest improvement up to November 1, 1926. Additional awards in trees and shrubs will be given by nursery companies. Play a Vital Force Joseph Lee of Boston, president of the Playground and Recreation Association of America, declared that play is one of the greatest forces in life, adding that beauty of the American novels point to the failure of the busy American business leader because he is obliged to play. Play, he said, is necessary for actions as well as individuals. "The aim of the American play movement," he said, "is to encourage the amateur in games, music, art and all forms of leisure time activity among the American people." Organized public recreation is less advanced in Europe than in the United States, but spontaneous play is more widespread abroad than here, recording to a number of the board of directors of the association, who has recently returned from a tour of Europe where he studied the recreation developments of several countries. Declares That Night Time Is Sin Time Associated Negro Press BIRMINGHAM Alta. Oct. 21. The Rev. Calvin B. Waller, preaching at the Second Baptist Church here Sunday, declared that night is the time of sin, enumerating many of the evils from which the human race suffers, and asserting that most of them had their genesis in the dark. SEES LOFTY PLACE IN CIVILIZATION FOR NEGRO DETROIT, Mich., Oct. 21- "The DETROIT, Mich., Oct. 14- "The Negro race will have a prominent place in the civilization of the future," said Dr. Lynn Harold Hough, pastor of Central Methodist church (white) speaking before a large audience on "The Negro in Our Community" at the industrial Service center of Young Women's Christian association, 2331 East Grand boulevard Friday. Picturing the ideal community as a series of groups, working in harmony for the general welfare, Dr. Dough prophesied a day when Negroes as a group would take an active part in the arrangement, give life and resolving benefit. "There are no large organizations in the north that have the well-being of the Negro race as their object," the speaker said. "If there were, the Negro would be far more valuable to his community. The Negro has many poets and prophets on his side, but what he really needs is successful organization, with far-sseeing men at the head. "Like all other peoples, the Africans are able to, give the world something it needs. They are not beasts, but human beings, with great possibilities of development. They have a certain amount of culture, and are capable of much more. "We see them at their worst, be cause conditions force them to live in an insanitary environment, where their children are forced to contend with filth, disease and open vice. Some day these conditions will disappear, and there will be no more race riots, which are only gestures of despair, bred of hopelessness."

MEXICAN YOUTH INVENTS BOTTLING MACHINE THAT DOES WORK OF FIVE MEN LOS ANGELES, Calif., Oct. 21. A machine that promises to do the work of five men was demonstrated yesterday for the first time by its inventor, Carlos Dulche, a Mexican youth. For many years the bottling industry has been seeking a machine for conveying filled bottles into packing cases. Dulche believes he has solved the problem. His invention, a mechanically simple one, takes the bottles as they leave the filling machine, arranges them, on a trip platform and deposits them in the empty crate. It feeds the empty crates into the machine and places the filled case on a conveyor that leads to refrigerating rooms. The filling of cases, in all bottling plants now is done by hand, each filling machine requiring two men to pack the boxes, it turns out. A public demonstration of Dulche's invention will be given at the exhibition rooms of the Chamber of Commerce. It then will be sent to Kansas City to be exhibited at the convention of bottling industries, which convenes on the 19th inst. BAD HOUSING CONDITIONS EXIST IN PHILADELPHIA Due To Raco Prejudice Negroes Are Prevented From Moving Into More Desirable Homes PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Oct. 14.—The housing inspection service of the city is wholly inadequate, according to a report Monday of a housing survey made for the Interracial Committee by the Philadelphia Housing Association. The survey was made with regards to the overcrowding of colored families in certain areas. A number of exhibits were made up from an investigation bounded by Beeks, 19th, Thompson and 25th street. Summarizing these, it is shown that many neighborhood changes are taking place, which are forcing the conversion of one-family dwelling into tenements and roaming houses. These changes, the report stated, are taking place without knowledge on the part of the city. The lack of adequate inspection service has resulted in several things. First, the majority of these converted houses have not been registered with the city. Second, the lack of inspection has erased a disaster hazard by permitting congestion to grow. Third, the Negro families are hampered by race prejudice and are without the chance to purchase or rent homes in neighborhoods where a normal standard of living might be established.

JILTED WOMAN DAMAGES NEWLYWEDS" COZY NEST" INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Oct. 21. An umbrella is not only used to keep off the rain by Luccile Brown, colored, 722 Columbia avenue. The Brown woman believes an umbrella is an effective weapon when she wants to get to the sweetheart who fitted her and married another. According to Motor Policemen Powers and Thompson, the woman went to the home of Everett Stevenson, 1851 North Capitol avenue, and when she was refused admittance, she took her umbrella and broke out twelve window glasses and then they were glad to let her in. She was arrested and charged with malicious trespass. According to her statement, she "kept company" with Stevenson for three years. Last week he procured a marriage license and tqld her he was going to marry her. He used the marriage license, but another woman became his wife. The Brown woman said she went to his new home to "straighten things out." RAPS DETROIT OFFICERS CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE ceived were revolting. "During this thirteen days of confinement, I tried my level best to find out where he was kept. His comrades at the garage engaged a colored lawyer, but to no avail, when he was sufficiently recovered from his treatment he was released. "Another case: A man was under suspicion for having appropriated ten dollars in making charge when self-gasoline. Two young boys coming to the Fort Shelby garage, claiming that they had handed the man a twenty-dollar bill and having received ten dollars short. These boys detected their loss about three-hours later, yet without looking anywhere else, they went to Police Headquarters, got a detective who arrested the boy and there being a holiday the next day, the fellow was kept in jail until the second day, when the matter was brought to my attention. "I went immediately to the Chief of Detectives and after long waitipless I was finally assured that the man would be released that day, because the scussers had not even sworn out a warrant, nor to the original complaint. "That afternoon the man was released, but what a sight. His face was swollen beyond recognition and in maltreating the man, a deep gash wins cut on the inside of his mouth and several teeth knocked out. Before discharging him, however, they had taken the man to the Receiving hospital and a doctor had put five stitches in the man's cheek inside the mouth, without even putting the poor devil to sleep. "My insignification was so intense that I tried every thing possible to bring the offenders to justice, even Lester Moll, a member of the Fort Shelly Garage Co., and First Assistant Prosecutor Attorney, promised me to look into the matter, but nothing came of it. "The boy left for Chicago and thus the matter was forgotten. **Muse Authority** "Why can this happen in America where all men are supposed to be equal under the law?" "If this had happened to white boys the whole community would be in an unproar, but since it happened to a colored boy, nobody cared and for these deplorable conditions nobody but the Commissioner of Police is to blame, because he cannot plead ignorance when everybody knows that the 'third degree' still exists and is practiced on our colored citizens, while the brutes that conduct it are rather careful when dealing with whites. "I have sat in different court rooms and seen the daily quota of varicolored offenders march in and confront the judges and I am glad to say that only in rare instances have I noticed any partiality as to color, especially is this true of Judge Jeffries court. "The third degree" as practiced on our Negro offenders has done more to create trouble than anything else to "I am a white man, a Protestant, but I accord everybody the same: rights that I demand and I do not make a whole creed or race responsible for the crime of an individual, and I am mindful of the fact that horrible crimes have been committed by members of all creeds and races, my own included. "The colored man is not here by choice, he is here by brutal force of the white man, who brought him here under the most contemptable conditions, that of slavery. "Generations will pass before the mark of slavery has faded entirely from the colored race. In the meantime, we, that are not responsible for the crime of our forefathers who brought these unfortunate as slaves to our country, as are the colored people, who are the survivors and offspring of the slaves, whose ancestors were brought here against their will, ought to be very tolerant to the colored people and give them time to lift themselves out of the mire into which our forefathers for the sake of gain, thrust them.

To Build World Post A large share of the $100,000,000 which will be spent on the new enterprise will be devoted to the rebuilding of the port of Monrovia, capital city of Liberia, Mr. Firestone stated. If necessary the company will organize its own steamship lines. The contract for the work in Monrovia already has been awarded to the James G. White Engineering corporation of New York. It was amounted Cheau Labor Alm "Two years ago," said Mr. Firestone, "I considered a rubber producing enterprise in the Philippines, but the Filipinos were hesitant to accept American capital, as they feared it would blind their efforts to gain their independence. Then I sent experts from the Malay peninsula to Liberia, and their reports immediately converted me to the plan of development there. "Conditions in Nigeria are the best for rubber growing to be found anywhere on the face of the globe. Not only is the physical nature of the country entirely conducive to this enterprise, but the cost of production will be at least 50 per cent less than it is anywhere else. The natives work for about 3 shilling a day (34 cents.) It is said that the U. S. may have to establish a military parcel in the new Firestone possessions. The Liberian control is said to extend only several miles inland. In the interior there are said to be wild bushmen whom the Liberian soldiers would refuse to fight. RICHEST DIAMOND FIELDS IN AFRICA CONTINUED FROM PAGE NINE mined varies widely. Many of the stones are blue-white or colorless and transparent, comparing favorably with those from other places of the world. Many are yellow and brown, green, blue and red. There is a wide variation in size. Diamonds of forty carats have been found and ten-carat stones are comparatively common. Many of the stones are found in the beds of streams where the action of the water has chipped them. A generation ago much was written about the rapid growth of the demand for diamonds, especially in America, and the probability of a serious diamond shortage if new sources of supply were not soon discovered. Likelihood of a diamond shortage for some time to come has been removed by the discovery of diamonds in the Belgian Congo. N LUMBER CO.
