SEVEN MORE CHARGES ADDED Senate Marks Time, Will Not Conduct Trial Until Lower Branch Finishes Accusations. Oklahoma City—Lieutenant Governor M. E. Trapp was declared acting governor of Oklahoma in a decision of the state supreme court late today, making permanent a writ of prohibition against Governor J. C. Walton and District Judge Tom G. Chambers, Sr., which restrains them from interfering with the lieutenant governor's assumption of the office. The decision sustains a resolution adopted by the state senate, suspending Governor Walton during his impeachment trial and nullifies an injunction obtained by the governor in Judge Chamber's court, which would have prevented the lieutenant governor from becoming acting governor. 5 to 4 Vote The court announced its decision orally after a brief conference following an afternoon of argument. The decision, it was explained, made the writ effective against J. C. Walton as an individual and not as governor. Judge Chambers was enjoined in his official capacity as judge. The vote of the court was five to four. Notified of the court's action, Governor Walton declared he intended to "continue to fight." He declined to indicate his future course, saying that whatever he does is "up to my attorney." He refused to issue a formal statement. Demurrer Is Overruled When the hearing started early in the afternoon, counsel for Governor Walton demurred to the sufficiency of the grounds upon which the attorney general based his plea for the writ. The demurrier was overruled, and consideration of the application was started. Attorney General George Short, who brought the action for Lieutenant Governor Trapp as acting governor, appeared personally to argue the case. Hearing Ends Suddenly The end of the hearing came suddenly while counsel for the governor still were presenting their argument. Interrupting the speaker, Acting Chief Justice McNeill arose and with a wave of his hand announced that the court had heard enough. After a short conference the court returned and made known its decision. Seven Charges Added The house today added seven additional counts to the bill of impeachment to be presented to the senate They are: That the governor illegally appointed Charles H. Haskin district judge while the latter was a member of the legislature. That he appointed "a large number of persons" to state positions and paid them from state funds without authority of law. That he prohibited execution of the law, imposing capital punishment. law imposing capital punishment. That he declared martial law in Okmulgee county, Tulsa county, the city of Tulsa and throughout the state without cause. The charge is contained for separate articles. When impeachment charges now have been lodged formally against the governor. Heavy Majorities Approve All articles voted today were approved by heavy majorities except that referring to capital punishment. The vote on this was 51 to 42. After resolving itself into a court of impeachment today, the upper house marked time until the house can complete consideration of the remaining eight charges made in the house impeachment committee report. Charges Marines In Haiti With Murder (K, N, E, Service) New York, Oct. 25-According to a communication sent to the press by Joseph Mirault, correspondent for the "Courier Haitien," Harry Liftchitz, an American-born citizen, has been murdered by the forces of the American occupation for having the cause of suffering Haiti. He expresses the hope that the American press will ask that an investigation be made into this "cold-blooded" murder. The correspondent also states that Bishop August Albert has been thrown into prison and is experiencing ill-treatment at the hands of the occupation troops. A letter has been addressed to President Coolidge acquainting him with the facts in the two cases. North Carolina Woman Tells of Work of Inter-Racial Committee in Speech COLORED MIGRATION NEAR HALF MILLION Analysis Shows That Georgia Yielded the Largest and Oklahoma the Smallest It is announced by the secretary of labor, through Phil H. Brown, commissioner of conciliation, specially detailed to observe the present movement of migratory colored labor, that 478,700, or nearly half a million colored migrants forsook their abodes and occupations in 13 Southern states during the year September 1, 1922, to August 31, 1923, according to conclusions made from a series of total figures submitted by state, municipal and civic statisticians and authorities of those states. The round number estimation is believed to be a fairly accurate usmary of similar estimations carefully compiled for Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. An analysis of the 478,700 total reveals the fact that of colored migrants for the year noted, Alabama yielded 90,000; Arkansas, 5,000; Florida, 90,000; Georgia, 120,600; Kentucky, 2,500; Louisiana, 15,000; Mississippi, 82,600; North Carolina, 25,000; Oklahoma, 1,000; South Carolina, 25,000; Tennessee, 1,000; Texas, 2,000; Virginia, 100,000. From the above, it will be noted that Georgia yielded the largest, and Oklahoma the smallest, quota of colored migrants. In commenting upon the migratory movement depicted above, a number of chambers of commerce of the South expressed the opinion that the oncoming winter would cause the return of large numbers of the departees. Other prominent officials were reasonably sure that the yield of their states could be traced to specific areas, and that, hence, it was not a movement of general purpose, but the exodus seemed to indicate that the movement was semi-perpetual, inasmuch as departing colored people were replaced by incomers, who, in turn, were continually succeeded, until many of those who first left had returned to their original domicile. BALL GAME CANCELLED COLORED STAR ON TEAM Call Game Off at Eleventh Hour On Account of Presence Of Colored Player Washington, Pa., Oct. 26.—Several thousand of football fans were disappointed here this afternoon, when the scheduled struggle between Washington and Lee of Lexington, Va., and Washington and Jefferson college, of this lace, was called off at the eleventh hour through the refusal of the Southerners to play if Charles West, a colored star and national intercollegiate pentathlon champion, played on the W. and J. team. W. and J. insisted on the right to play the famous colored athlete as he was a bona fide student. The final decisions in the controversy were made by the heads of the Richard and Graduate Manager Smith and Head Coach James Dehart, acted under instructions from Dean Harry Campbell of Washington and Lee. Smith and Dehart communicated with Dean Campbell by telephone. His ultimatum was that athletes of the institution and never participated against colored athletes and hat this tradition would not be violated. Upon receiving this ultimatum, President S. S. Baker of Washington and Lee, remained firm in his contention that W. and J. would play West. "I simply acted under instructions from the head of Washington and Lee college and refraining to take my team on the field." Dehart said. "The decision was not up to me, but the school I represent." "I am sorry the unfortunate condition arose," President Baker said, "but Washington and Jefferson college is a Northern school, with traditions, too. It has never made any distinction against color or creed in enrolling its students. Charles West has been one of the best students in the college for over forty years. He as been a honor to the school, as a student, and as an athlete, adding to its prestige by his gentlemanly conduct." While there had been some controversy as to the playing of West, the matter was never brought to a definite issue until the Washington and Lee football squad arrived here today. Manager Smith and Coach Dehart asked for a conference regarding West, and met with Graduate Manager R. M. Murphy, Head Coach John W. Heisman, and Line Coach David C. Morrow, representing Washington and Jefferson. It was then agreed to place the matter before the heads of the two institutions. THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS. MINN.. SATURDAY. OCTOBER 27, 1923 Makes Stirring Address at the Race Relations Conference Held by the.N. A. A. C. P., at Kansas City, Mo. Kansas City, Kan., Oct. 25—Mrs. Thomas W. Bickett, widow of Governor Beckett of North Carolina, speaking at the sessions of the race relations conference held here by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, told of the history and importance of the committee throughout the South, in stamping out mobism and lynching and bringing about better relations between colored and white people. Mrs. Bickett appeared at the race relations conference as a representative of the inter-racial committees of whose woman's committee she is chairman. Her address was as follows: "As a member of the Commission on Inter-racial Co-operation and as chairman of the woman's committee of the commission it gives me pleasure to present to the National Organization for the Advancement of Colored People a short history of the formation and work of this commission." Mob Violence Broke Out "Shortly after the armistice distrust and suspicion fanned by propaganda or various sorts seemed abroad in our land and mob violence, which had greatly decreased during the war broke out afresh. It was in this crisis that the Commission on Interracial Co-operation came into existence. At the center of this group were John J. Eagan, manufacturer and churchman; Rev. W. W. Alexander, M. C. A., war representative, Dr. N. Nobly, minister of Atlanta. Out of the thought and prayer of such men and others equally consecrated the commission was born. Its membership was made up of leading educators, ministers, professional and business men from every state in the South, including many prominent colored men. State committees were organized, especially where the situation was acute and with the co-operation of the Y. M. C. A. machinery and financed by the Y. M. Council, imposing immediately business noticeable and having proved its efficacy in this crisis the commission determined to enlarge its sphere and seek to permanently improve race conditions and put them upon a Christian basis. Lynchings Prevented "To this end committees have been set up in every state and 800 counties. Threatened lynchings and riots have been prevented, injustices have been corrected, co-operation for mutual welfare has been brought about and more friendly relations established especially in communities where conditions were critical. The ongoing recent development is the enlisting of leading women of the South to co-operate with the various state committees and to promote the study of this question in their civic and religious organizations. In every case the women have made strong pronouncements against mob violence and in favor of justice to the colored race, especially the colored women and children. The personnel of the committee has increased from 10 to 150 men and women, a large number of these belonging to the colored race and who contribute largely to the councils of the commission. Co-operation Solution of Problem "We are a long, long way from solving the race problem in the South but we have made a hopeful beginning. As interested, thoughtful, white men and women we are seeking through our civic and religious organizations to meet in a spirit of co-operation the leading men and women of the colored race in the community in which we live. We are co-operating in a study of colored community life, in housing and sanitation, better neighborhood conditions, educational opportunities and the needs of colored women and children especially. We are becoming increasingly conscious of the fact that as those in authority, our responsibility towards the colored people cannot be evaded, and many of our people need to be forward with a designation that no unfair advantage shall be taken of them, but that they shall receive justice and fair treatment which is his due, and which we cannot withhold if we wish to retain our self-respect. "Above all, through this commission we are seeking to bring about a better understanding and a greater helpfulness of the races, one to the other, and as individual and as practice the words of Him who said, 'Whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you do ye even so to them.'" "Hard" and "Soft" Maple Maple is both "hard" and "soft." The former is in demand wherever resistance and great strength are required, as for meat boards, chopping bowls, rolling pins, etc. Soft maple is employed in making handles, butter bowls and ironing boards. Audacity, Not Courage As knowledge without justice ought to be called cunning rather than wisdom, so a mind prepared to meet danger if excited by its own eagerness and not the public good, deserves the name of audacity rather than courage. ANNUAL URBAN LEAGUE MEET HELD AT KANSAS CITY Foremost White and Colored Social Workers in America Attend National Conference. Ohio Employment Manager Tells In Detail of His Faith in The Colored Workman (Special to The Appeal) Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 25—In the matters of publicity, discussions, and number of registered delegates, the annual conference of the National Urban league which closed here last week ranked first among the annual sessions since the founding of the organization. Notables Present One hundred and two delegates from 20 states were registered at the conference. Numbered among these were some of the foremost white and colored social workers in America: Eugene Kinckle Jones, executive secretary of the National Urban league; John T.

Johnson, editor of Opportunity; Miss Julia Lathrop, ex-president of the National Conference of Social Work; T. Arnold Hall and others. Discuss Industry In the whole day's program given over to a discussion of the Negro Industry, perhaps the most outstanding address was that given by George B. Fout, white employment manager of the Youngstown (Ohio) Sheet and Tube company. Mr. Fout told in detail of his faith in colored workmen, his love trying to understand them and adjust them to work how he had even forsaken his own church services almost entirely to visit colored churches and become acquainted with his workers when they were off the job. Causes and effects of the migration were discussed by Charles S. Johnson and Miss Julia Lathrop; the topic of "Health" was presented in three addresses by Miss Eva D. Bowles, C. C. Spaulding, president of the North Mutual. Mutual Insurance company Miss Grace Abbott, Dr. Hope, William H. Baldwin, Jesse O. Thomas and others took active part in the discussions of the various topics. May Go South Secretaries from Toledo, Canton and Columbus, Ohio, joined William R. Conners in inviting the conference to Cleveland next year, but a trio of speakers from the South—Mrs. Blanche A. Beatty, secretary at Tampa, Fla.; Monroe N. Work, editor of the Year Book, and Jesse O. Thomas put in strong pleas for Atlanta and Tuskegee, arguing that the league should study first hand the people they are seeking to aid. Final decision will be made by the executive board of the league. Citizenship of Republican Candidate Proven (K N E Service) New York, Oct. 25.—According to a decision handed down by Supreme Court Justice Wagner, Dr. Henry O. Harding, regular Republican candidate for alderman of the 21st A. D., is a citizen of the United States. The doctor's citizenship had been questioned by former Alderman George W.

Talbert; Noble Woman Laid to Rest Funeral of Mrs. Mary B. Talbert Attended by Thousands Many Persons of note Pay Tribute to Her. Buffalo, Oct. 24 (K. N. F. Service)—Funeral services over the remains of Mary B. Talbert, who died rather unexpectedly last Monday, were held Wednesday amidst impressive surroundings. Many persons of note were present. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People sent Mrs. Addie W. Hunton, field secretary of that organization, to officially represent that body. Mrs. Talbert, who formerly was president of the National Association of Colored Women's clubs, was possibly the best known colored woman in America. The outstanding achievement of Mrs. Talbert's life was the reclamation of the home of Frederick Douglass at Cedar Hills, Anacostia, D. C., as a historic shrine, when she was president of the Women's clubs. For this splendid work she was awarded the Spingarn medal in 1922. In 1920 she went to Scotland as a delegate to the International Council of Women's clubs. Mary White Ovington, chairman of the Board of directors of the N. A. A. C. P., paid the following tribute to Mrs. Talbert: "Here at the office of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, we have learned with deepest sorrow of the sudden death of Mrs. Mary B. Talbert. With deepest sorrow and surprise, for while we were aware that she was seriously ill, it did not seem possible that so virile a personality could leave us. When, as a member of our board, she attended our meeting, or came to the national office, whether called to a meeting or not, she always seemed overflowing with health and strength and determination. Whatever task was given her she accepted and carried to a victorious finish. Only her own life she was unable to save. She literally gave it to the cause of humanity; end especially to the colored people suffering from danger and persecution. "This association recalls with deepest gratitude the work of Mary B. Talbert in Texas, where she organized the state in our service, among the many groups in the National Association for the Welfare. She interested in our cause, and lastly, in the recent magnificent work which she headed, of the Anti-lynching Crusaders. "Her generous, loving heart was filled with indignation and horror at the lynching atrocities of the Southern states, and she labored unceasingly to put an end to such atrocities. We know that there are thousands and tens of thousands of the poor and unprotected of her race who would voice, if they could, their appreciation of the battle which she fought in their service. She was a great lady. While her indignation at injustice was extreme, she was nevertheless, sane and well balanced in her judgments. "When she received the Spingarn medal a year ago, those who were acquainted with her work and character felt that at length just recognition was given to a noble type of colored woman. Not only as a colored woman, however, shall we remember our honored dead, but as a representative of the finest womanhood in America. A mother, a home-maker, a humanitarian, she takes her place with the great women of this country, women who have stood for justice against oppression, women who have demanded 'the things of the spirit' in these United States." Mrs. Talbert was born in Oberlin, Ohio, September 17, 1865, daughter of Cornelius J. and Caroline Burnett. She was graduated from Oberlin college in 1891 and later married William H. Talbert of Buffalo, where she has since lived. One child, Sarah, was born to them, who now is Mrs. Feelar. Man Burned To Death In Shower of Molten Metal (Preston News Service) Sharon, Pa., Oct. 25.—When a cable broke resulting in the upsetting of a ladle of molten metal in the open hearth department of the Carnegie Steel company plant here, Theodore Brown, aged 19, was one of five men to be instantly cooked into a crisp when the 70 tons of steel heated to 2,500 degrees showered down on their heads like a mass of water engulfing the men. Their bodies were roasted into a crisp almost instantly by the white hot flames that leaped skyward and seemed to smack its jaw laughingly as it devoured its entrapped victims. Brown, unmarried, lived at Farrell. "Eslicking" the Ferguson "Here," remarked the playful footpad as he frisked the first sergeant. "is where I go over the top."—American Legion Weekly. Hopeful.

TO PRINT MARTYRS' PETITION National Office Will Arrange For Printing Petitions Releasing Infantrymen It was announced today by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, at 69 Fifth Avenue, New York City, that the National Office will arrange for the printing of the petitions to be used in gathering signatures asking the release of the fifty-four men of the 24th Infantry confined in Leavenworth Prison for the use of individuals and those organizations which desire the petitions only in small quantities. This the National Office has arranged to do for reasons of economy. Therefore, those organizations which desire only limited quantities of the petitions may secure them at the rate of one cent a sheet, approximately one half the cost of printing and mailing, by sending an order and the amount necessary to cove the same to the N. A. A. C. P. These orders will be turned over to the printers at New York and filled as promptly as possible. Larger organizations are following the original plan and having their petitions printed locally, but the N. A. A. C. P., feels that the above outlined plan will be a convenience to smaller organizations and to individuals. The N. A. A. C. P., reported today there has never been any cause which has been entered into with such whole hearted enthusiasm as the campaign to free these men. The Methodist Episcopal church through Bishop R. E. Jones is distributing petitions among its churches; the Knights of Pythias of North America, etc. through Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green is circulating through its Grand Chancellors more than five thousand petition (each petition having space to sign pictures), the Giving Club of Berkley, Norfolk, Va., has unanimously passed a resolution pledging co-operation in this effort and, during the special meeting which it will hold on November 11th, the audience will stand for five minutes in silent prayer for the release of the men According to all present indications many more than the original goal of 100,000 signatures to the petition will be secured. KU KLUX INVASION ALARMS HARAVRD "Crimson" Says K. K. K. Plans Next Move on Radcliffe;; Will Wage Fight Openly. Boston, Oct. 22. — The Harvard Crimson, the students' daily newspaper, today warns the university and Radcliffe college, the women's college associated with Harvard, that the Ku Klux Klan is only "awaiting the moment to strike." The next open move is expected to be the organizing of a "Kamelia" at Radcliffe. This, it is believed, would spur Klan members among Harvard students to increased activity in enrolling members. The Crimson says: "Started two years ago and ever since, month by month, growing more powerful, the Harvard Ku Klux Klan has only been waiting for the favorable moment to show its strength. "And now there are indications that the next few weeks will see the largest drive yet for Klan membership. As yet the branch has worked under considerable secrety but coupled with drive, Harvard public may expect to see the Klan pursue a more open policy, leading probably to a formal statement of its aims and platform. "The shadow of the Klan lies from West to East across the country. Only recently the fiery cross has been in Boston. And now Harvard, considered the stronghold of culture and conservatism, is about to try its strength with the boasted omnipotence of the Invisible Empire." Harry Wills Will Not Box For Tex Rickard (K. N. F. Service) New York, Oct. 25—Harry Wills will not fight anyone in Tex Rickard, according to a statement attributed to Paddy Mullins, Wills' manager. "Neither Wills nor I want anything further to do," he continued, "with Rickard, Kearns or any of that crowd. Most any fish will rise once to the bait. After once finding-out what it is and you go after it again you're a sucker. I may be a poor fish, but I'm no sucker." Mullins believes that if it were not for Rickard and Kearns Harry Wills would have had his coveted chance at the world's heavyweight championship long ago. $2.00 PER YEAR I BILL G. O. P. REGIONAL CONFERENCE PASS NEW RESOLUTIONS Republican National Committeemen Unanimously Adopt Resolutions PRESENTED BY MEMBER John T.

Westbrook, of Denver, a member of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, presented a resolution calling for federal anti-lynching legislation, before a regional conference of Republican National Committees in Denver, Colorado, on October 11, and the resolution was nunitiously adopted. The regional conference embraced committees from Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, New Mexico, Arizona and Nevada. John T. Adams, Chairman of the Republican National Committee, to whom the resolution was addressed, assured the committee that he would do all in his power to obtain federal legislation against lynching, and is reported by Dr. Westbrook to have stated that President Coolidge would do the same. Each of the committeemen was asked individually if he endorsed the resolution and each man replied, yes. Others on the committee accompanying Mr. Westbrook, were George W. Gross, President of the Denver Branch of the N. A. A. C. P.; Thomas Campbell, President of the Denver Colored Civic Association; and John W. Hardy, clerk to U. S. Senator Lawrence C. Phipps. The text of the resolution, is as follows: WHEREAS, There seems to be a spirit of anarchy, lawlessness and a growing disrespect for the laws of our regularly Constituted Government throughout the country, and; WHEREAS, The lives of citizens regardless of race, color, or nationality are repeatedly threatened and in many instances actually taken without trial by court and jury, and; WHEREAS, The Republican party in National Convention assembled in 1920, went on record as favoring anti-lynchning legislation, and; WHEREAS, The late lamented President Harding recommended to Congress the carrying out of the pledge made by the Republican party; BE IT RESOLVED, That we, the undersigned citizens, voters and republicans, urge upon the members of the Republican National Committee in regional conference assembled with the Hon.

Colored Mother, 102 Seeks Wayward Son, 87 Washington, Oct. 25—Mrs. Carrie Thompson, born in slavery 102 years ago, came into police court looking for her boy, Milledge Abner, who is only 87, and who failed to come back from his afternoon walk in the sunlight. He was later picked up for begging and sent to Gallinger hospital, under observation for mental disorder. Feeble, wrinkled as a dried apple, Mrs. Thompson told the court that she had spent a sleepless night, fearing that Milledge had been injured in crossing the streets. She said he was frail and feeble-minded and she had to feed him and look after him; but he was all that she had in the world and she wanted him back so they might die together. Steel Milk Affected; Colored Workers Protected Pittsburgh, Oct. 24.—Colored people, including women and children, who were driven out of Stowe township recently by a self-appointed vigilance committee, returned to their homes under protection of special officers. The extension of police protection to the colored workers came as a result of the tie-up their exodus in several of the steel plants of the district of the city, sending the blow to their pocketbooks, forced the authorities to give the colored workers protection and even to brin ghose back who had fled. Elks Plan to Rid All Lodges of Klansmen ATLANTIC CITY, N.

THINGS MAY HINDER YOU BUT CANNOT STOP YOU K NOWING the many besetments that often appear to obstruct our way toward the realization of our heart's desire, and the dark threatening clouds that suddenly gather over us, making our skies of hope dark and gloomy, how grateful we should be to our Creator for the establishment of a principle that is as firm and reliable as eternity and that has been tested by men of all ages and races and proven to be never failing. The power to overcome is a gift of God within you. O man, know myself and thy Creator. What if our happiness and attainments depended upon external conditions, such as circumstances and environment, many a promising and useful life would have been assigned to defeat. But fortunately for every individual the forces within are greater than the forces without. Make use of the power within you for it is the power within and not the power without that determines an individual's life. A great deal of talent is lost in the world for the lack of a little courage. The courageous are the ones who succeed, the ones who fight to win. The coward gives in at the first repulse A brave man struggles again. With a bounding check and a quivering lip he battles his way against men. We mourn and say we are unfortunate, unlucky. The truth is we lack faith and courage. To resolve to do a thing is to feel that you have it within you to do it. We admire the person who will not be a weakling of circumstances or conditions; but, whose ambition is stimulated by the tonic of opposition, and who without family influence or wealth, will by his own individual efforts force his way to success and renown. You many expect opposition that lies in the way to success. Sway not from your path, but press onward. Mount over the cloud-capped hills of obstacles and difficulties, press on through seas of hardships and laugh at rivers of discouragements for they may hinder you but cannot stop you. You only can stop yourself. MARY B. TALBERT THE death of Mrs. Mary B. Talbert at her home in Buffalo, N. Y., after months of suffering, borne with such cheerfulness and fortitude that even her family and closest personal friends did not fully realize the seriousness of her condition, has removed from earth one of the noblest and most useful women of our race. A woman of liberal education, of gracious and winsome personality, warm-hearted and sympathetic, courageous for right and of indomitable will, she was peculiarly fitted for the leadership which was accorded her. To whatever office she was chosen and to whatever task she addressed herself she gave whole-hearted service which issued in success. Mary B. Talbert was a worthy representative of the noblest type of womanhood. In the spacious fields of eternity and in the Nearer Presence of the Master Whom she loved and served in serving humanity so well may she find the full fruition of her labors here. In purest English of Bostonian inflection, the dining car waiter had announced the "lawst call for dinnah." I drifted back to the smoker, and in doing so passed a vacant section, where the Pullman porter had been resting and reading. His book lay where he had left it. I picked it up and read the title: "Kant's Critique of Pure Reason." Whew! Some classic atmosphere surrounding lowly service, suggested by the waiter's accent and the porter's choice of reading! A globe trotter, who scours the world looking for flax to make linen, had the floor in the smoker. He was of undoubted Jewish caste; in fact, his nose seemed to be describing a circle on the map of Palestine from Joppa to Jericho. But he was kindly, polished, and knew his stuff. His observations were being politely heard by a group of business men who turned under the cloud of smoke before the unalarmed man was execliping the usual Puritan commercial hound, who sells spark plugs and knows Henry Ford intimately (by sight). He laughed wilfully at his own thrice-told tales and wondered why the others were immune to his gay and festive fever. But the Wandering Jew had the floor and was telling how Soviet Ruz- The FLORSHEIM SHOE for the man who cares Florsheim Shoe Stores 16 West Seventh Street 421 Robert Street The Florsheim SHOE ia produced 90 per cent of the flax loven into the world's linen. "That is the reason England is trading with wobbly Russians," said our globe trotter. "England never overlooks the main chance of going to market and she knows that the small product of flax yielded by Ireland will not enable her to take her linens to market." I knew it was coming; so I lighted my pipe and seated myself in easy expectorative range of a cuspidor, and calmly waited. It wasn't long delayed. "Cotton is uncertain," our Jewish speaker declared. "With the colored man going and the boll weevel staying, the South cannot supply the spinners. There has never been a labor crisis in the world that equals the desertion of the soil that the colored man is now accomplishing. In some subtle way he seems to associate cotton with lynching, disranchisement, and the other reprials that have been visited upon him in the South." The people thought that a finer process of manufacture would render the cotton fabric as a serviceable substitute for linen, but unless the South can keep its colored workers and dismiss the boll weevil, the prospect for this development is dismal for sure. Then the rancous spark-plug dispenser interposed to know why there was not some law or some way to "make the darkies stay South to save cotton." "Pshaw! That's bunk! Where dye get that stuff?" exclaimed our wanderer, who must have been a descendant of one of the Three Wise Men of the first Christmas. "How does an apparently sensible white man get a fool notion like that in his head? How would you make an American citizen stay where he doesn't want to stay? What do you think this country is—a slave republic? You don't know the colored man, my vivacious friend. He's a lofosafight smarter than you are. Best evidence is he's to go sphinx in the Green Bedes, there is gophinx in the White Bedes isn't talking, but is busy testing and adjusting the scales of national justice so such chaps as you can't cheat with them." I thought again of the waiter's accent and the porter's book as I staggered with the motion of the train to my berth, which the porter had informed me was "quite prepared, sir." TALKED LIKE NORTHERN MAN: ALMOST LYNCHED Pin Blush, Ark., Sept. 27—Having in his possession clippings which showed that he had been delivering lectures in Louisiana and Mississippi, urging colored people to stay in the South is all that saved J. W. White, a colored visitor, from a severe flogging by whites at Crossett, Ark., recently. Five white men had taken White five miles west of Crossness, to either lynch of flog him because he was believed to be a labor agent, and that he had enticed many colored people to go North. White was well dressed and is said to have "talked like a Northern Negro," and this was the result of his agent. When his captors became convinced that he was "on their side of the fence" they brought him back to town, loaded him down with good cigars and other refreshments, and sent him on his way rejoicing. ENTIRE RACE URGED TO SIGN PETITION ASKING PRESIDENT TO PARDON IMPRISONED MEMBERS OF THE 24TH INFANTRY A movement, fostered by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and receiving the united support of the press, church, secret organizations, women's clubs, civic clubs and other race organizations, is on foot to have President Coolidge pardon and restore to citizenship the members of the Twenty-fourth U. S. Infantry, who are serving life terms at the federal prison at Leavenworth, Kan. The men were convicted following the Houston race riot in 1917.

TRAVELING A good custom is better than a law—Bustlides. OUR friends are beginning to travel again. Now it is more like old times, and if our friends go abroad they go with lighter hearts and with more baggage. Therefore it is quite the thing to give them little gifts and, if they want us to, to see them off. Be sure, though, that you are wanted. Nothing is more embarrassing than to arrive unexpectedly on the deck of a steamer, to find the friend you have gone to see off surrounded by an invited party of which you are not a member. So don't go unless you are quite certain that you are wanted, both for your sake and for the sake of the traveler. As for the gifts you send, be sure that they are really desirable, and not merely something that will fill up the steamer trunk and bags. If you know of some traveling accessory of which your friend stands in need, that is a good choice. A book is never amiss because after it is read it can be left on shipboard if it is in the way. Candy, although it is a conventional present, and one of the few things that a man is supposed to give to a woman, is nevertheless not a very good choice. A great many persons even though they enjoy ocean travel are particularly careful not to indulge in sweets. Flowers, another of the conventional gifts of men to women, are always in perfectly good taste. However, they are sometimes in the way in the stateroom. If you know that anyone dislikes flowers on the steamer don't send them. As in all other cases where gifts are concerned a man may send flowers, candy or books to a woman. Books in this case include magazines, and sometimes half a dozen current magazines are as welcome a gift as anyone could receive. They provide just the kind of reading that some people like on shipboard and can be discarded without a qualm when their reader is through with them. The Secret of Success "Lydia contrived to look well dressed, having early in her career discovered that the putting on of clothes is more than half the battle. Wear rags with enough of an air, a style, conviction, and you may holdly take the social field."—From "The Survivors," by Lucas Malet. Cupid's Feet "No," said the woman, emphatically to her London neighbor. "I don't hold with these 'ere therms. When I says gas I mean gas, and I likes to know what I'm payin' for. Therms, indeed! Why can't we 'ave it like we used to 'ave it—by the Cupid's feet?" Can Read Both Ways to the Middle. In the ancient city of Bagdad is a religious cult called the "star-worshipers." They turn to the north star to pray, must be baptized every Sunday, and they have a sacred book which they can begin at either end and read toward the middle.

"I'm Taking a Bath" Marlon, O.—Cries of "Tm taking a bath," failed to keep police from breaking through a bathroom door at the home of Mrs. Julia Sneckenberger and selzing her on a charge of bootlegging. They are said to have secured considerable "evidence." C. F. Dombaugh was caught as he was making an exit through a window and will also face a bootlegging charge. Saturday, October 27, 1923. PENITENT UNCLE By H. LOUIS RAYBOLD (© 1922, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate) "AND so, after all these years, I am trying to make up for my indifference by this method of separation. The money is yours to do with as you desire. When you receive it I shall be dead and beyond the reach of thanks. "Your belatedly penitent great-uncle, "Jonathan Benjamin Cowles." This was the conclusion of the letter which Jimmy Stiles several days ago had signed with a flourishing signature and then reread with grimning satisfaction. How tickled Mary Louise would be! And how unlikely ever to discover the hoax. Now he sat at his desk and wondered whether Mary Louise had yet cashed the inclosed certificate of deposit. She had come to visit her aunt, who was matron of the County Home, where Jimmy was one of many lonely, blue-overallled and aproned orphans. Mary Louise's mother, because of whose illness she had been sent away, died during her absence and she stayed on with her aunt. And when matrimony with a widower of small means and considerable family claimed the estimable matron, Mary Louise still lingered. Jimmy became her companion in all the playground squabbles, nor did the marvelous piece of luck which befall him when he was fifteen make him forget her. Jimmy rose rapidly—graduated brilliantly from high school—went into a lawyer's office daytimes and continued study at evening school. Ultimately he entered the bar and became an attorney with a reputation before he was thirty. Meanwhile Mary Louise had been "bound out" to a lonely farmer's wife. Growing attached to her, the woman had done more than the stipulated clothing and feeding of the child—had taught her what she could of grammar, geography and similar rudiments of learning. A summer boarder had taken an interest and lent her books, not only during her stay but for many months afterward. These changes had meant separation for the boy and girl, during which the memory of each grew dim to the other but did not utterly fade. And at Drift Harbor, that wonder spot of ocean beach and vivid sunset and riotous surf, their paths converged once more. Signing his name in the Drift Harbor house register, Jimmy looked up from the final flourish of his signature—James W. Stiles, Boston—straight into a pair of well-remembered soft blue eyes. "You! Mary Louise!" Yes, it was Mary Louise, who sometimes filled in at the hotel, which stood a mile or two from her adopted home, in various capacities from that of clerk to waitress. "Are you happy, Mary Louise?" he asked one day. Mary Louise threw him a questioning glance from beneath her curly lashes. "Just now," she said ingenuously. "But winters—oh, Jimmy, it is very lonely. And—and I see no future. If only I could afford to go to the city and have a couple of years at a normal school. Then—oh, just think, I might be able to teach!" She sighed blissfully, as though teaching were an achievement too heavenly to contemplate. "I dream nights of what I would do with a thousand dollars. That's my favorite air castle in Spain." That winter Jimmy unexpectedly won a case which netted him an even thousand and the sight of the check brought back to him the words of Mary Louise. An intense longing surged within him to help her out even as years ago he had been helped by the kindly rector. But handing over a sum of that amount to an unrelated young lady presented a problem. Suddenly the idea of creating a factitious great-uncle occurred to him—a great-uncle who would exist but for a moment on a sheet of paper, but long enough to bequeath to Mary Louise a thousand-dollar legacy. The letter had been written and sent and now Jimmy sat and dreamed in his office of its reception by a blue-eyed girl in a lonely farmhouse near Drift Harbor. And as he dreamed the door of his office opened. At sight of a slim figure Jimmy sprang to his feet. "You fraud!" cried a sweet voice. "My great-uncle Jimmy!" Jimmy swallowed. "How-er—why-er—" "Well, partly because I read in the papers of your thousand-dollar fee in the Hitchcock case, but mostly because only one person in the world makes the funny 'J's that you do. I had only to compare the 'J of Jonathan with the 'J on the hotel registers to have my suspicions confirmed. Of course I couldn't—" "Mary Louise," interrupted Jimmy firmly, "hand over that certificate!" And when she did so he folded it evenly and slipped it into his pocketbook. "What an idiot I was to give you a chance to go out of my sight again!" And his face wore the expression of one upon whom a great light has broken suddenly. "Come straight into my arms, my darling!" And Mary Louise came. SEE NEED OF LOAN COMPANY. Reports from Cleveland, Ohio, say that city is a splendid field for a availing and lean company properly conducted by our people. There are more than 40,000 colored people there and all are working. Many have sought homes and other are buying them. The demand for homes is greater than in almost any other northern city, with the possible exception of Detroit, Mich. ST. PAUL Mrs. Martha Wilson of West Central avenue, is on the sick list. Mrs. Earl Harris, 419 Rondo street. was hostess Friday afternoon to the O. N. T. 500 club. Mrs. Alice McCoy of West Central avenue was hostess Tuesday afternoon to the Adelphai club. The Matrons of the Round Table were entertained Tuesday afternoon by Mrs. W. S. Archer of West Central avenue. Miss Anna Wilson entertained ten members of the Shuffle Along company at her home, 777 Iglehart avenue, Friday afternoon from 4 to 6. Miss Salome Lewis, who has been the guest of her sister, Mrs. Earl Harris of 419 Rondo street, left Tuesday to return to Indianapolis, Ind. En route she will stop over in Chicago. The Handicraft Art club met Thursday afternoon at the residence of Mrs. C. H. Miller, 428 Edmund street. Final arrangements will be made for the club's annual December exhibit which will be held at the Business League exhibition and style show at the Auditorium. Mrs. Lucius Lomax, who has had a pleasant stay in the city visiting her brother and sister-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Caldwell of 1399 Sherburne avenue, left last Saturday to return to her home in Los Angeles, Cal. En route home she will visit several of the Western cities. Mrs. T. E. Franklin of St. Anthony avenue, entertained 16 guests at progressive whist Friday evening complimentary to Miss Salome Lewis of Indianapolis, Ind. First prize was awarded to Mrs. C. H. Miller; second to Mr. E. Harris, and consolation to Mr. Elmer Morris. A dainty midnight supper was served. Thursday afternoon of last week Mesdames Mattie Hicks and E. W. Lindsay entertained 24 guests at pro- gressive whist at Mrs. Lindsay's residence, 426 Rondo street. The guests of honor were Mrs. Margaret Bake Turner of Chicago, Mrs. L. Blake Angles Cal, and Miss Salome Lewis of Indianapolis, Ind. Prizes were awarded to Mrs. Paul Caldwell, Mrs. L. Lomax, Mrs. J Jennie Young and Mrs. J. Dobbs. The decorations were in the Hallowe'en colors. At 6:30 P. M. the dainty su- per was served. Mr. and Mrs. J. N. Sothall, 436 Arundel street, entertained Thursday evening in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Eubie Blake of the Shuffle Along company at dinner at their home. Mr. Blake and Mr. Sothall are old-time friends, not having seen each other for more than five years. They met last in Baltimore, Md., where Mr. Blake helped the Elk Lodge for a minstrel show. The show was a success to such an extent that Monument lodge had to repeat three times. Mr. Sothall is a member of Monument lodge. Washington, Oct. 13.—President Coolidge has issued a proclamation calling for observance of the week beginning November 18, as National Educational Week. "Every American citizen," the President said, "is entitled to a liberal education. Without this there is no guarantee for the permanence of free institutions, no hope of perpetuating self-government. Despotism finds its chief support in ignorance. Knowledge and reedom go hand in hand." The colored citizens are in hearty accord with the views and purposes of the President, and Education Week will be generally observed by them. YOUR HAND How to Read Your Characteristics and Tendencies—the Capabilities or Weaknesses That Make for Success or Failure as Shown in Your Palm IN SOME rare cases the line of travel (either horizontal or vertical, on the mount of the moon) runs into the line of the head, which is the lower of the two main lines crossing the palm horizontally. We may then foretell, or hold as indicated in the past, some danger to the head, or some other malady, arising from a journey. This is confirmed when the place of joining the two lines is marked by a spot, an island or a break. When travel is indicated by the little hair lines that leave the line of life (encircling the thumb) and travel with it, the indication is similar to that shown by the line of life. If one branch of the divided line goes on its way around the mount of Venus, the ball of the thumb, while the other proceeds to the base of the mount of Luna, the subject will make a great change from his native land to another. When the line of life divides toward its end and there is a wide space between the branches the subject will most likely end his days in a country other than that which gave him birth.

HARTLEY MADE NAME IN WAR Leviathan’s New Captain Is Typ- - ieal Son of the Sea and Won Promotion by Merit. . Gessssssesssesesnssosssese + ameck of the tala et theta $ 4% ca dogs? ’ QS See ’ bandxccnnacdcncencencwsncd Washington.—Capt. Herbert Hart- ley, the new skipper of the Leviathan, is a typical son of the sea. He has spent mest of his life on ships, has seen and served on the old sailing beauties and remembers the skepti- cism that greeted new fangied wire- less ideas. He 1s the sort of a sallorman who’ truly pities the “people in the cities” on wild, stormy nights. Ocean weath- er to him is divided into two cate- gorles: It is either “a bit fresh” or “calm as the palm of your hand.” He seems to have heard or read of hur- Ticanes or gales, but in his tongue they are no more than “little squalls” or “kickups.” His associates on the American line—he has been with that company ever since he begau his nautical career—say he is lucky; not because he landed the prize post in the Ameri- can merchant marine but because in all his career he has never had an accident to his ship or any ship on which he has sailed. It is partly be- cause of his reputation that he has advanced through all grades in the American Line to the bridge of the largest ship in the American fleet. Hunch Falls Him. His worst half hour on the high seas was when during the World war @ giant German subniarine came to the surface within gun range of his ship, the Louisville, and opened fire. “It was just after daybreak,” he said, “and we were about two days’ sail from France when a lookout sighted this sinister black body about a mile away and slightly astern of us. “This object broke one of my real Inches, because I had a distinct feeling on starting the trip that we weren't going to have any trouble, and usually those hunches work out for me. “Hardly had the sailor given the alarm when a column of spray raised by a shell almost showered our port bow. I had four six-inch guns, two in the bow and two in the stern, and I made up my mind right there that the only ones to be used were the stern guns, because I intended to go away from there as fast as I could. “The Louisville could outsteam any submarine that I knew of, but whether she could get out of range before she was mortally hit was the question most vital to all of us just then. I gave every full-speed signal that could help us and turned tail in the direction that would take us away from the menace, which whistled its second shot just about where our bow would have been if we hadn’t changed our course, “It took us more than thirty-five minutes to get out of range. During that time the submarine’s other shots, which were plentiful, did not come as close as her first two. Ours, I am sorry to say, did her no damage and did not frighten her enough to make her submerge.” Weare Navy Cross. ‘The Louisville, under Captain Hart- ley’s command, was the first armed ship to leave an American port after President Wilson decided that Ameri- can vessels should carry their own protection. As the old St. Louis she had served with honor in the Spanish- American war, and, while Captain Hartley doesn’t say so, it is evident that the Leviathan will have a difficult time replacing her in his affections. Captain Hartley wears the Navy cross for efficient command of his ship during the war, and it is the only honor which he does not seem to take lightly. The cross, he says, is his most treasured possession and he wouldn't trade it for the Leviathan or any other craft afloat. He is forty-eight years old and is the first cadet of the American line to rise to the position of commander. He took the place of Capt. John C.
