$5 GOLD PIECES GIVEN TO OUR READERS. GIRL WHO CONFESSED IN BIG MURDER CASE FACES COURT WITHOUT COUNSEL First in Local Circulation. Vol. 4, No. 17 GIRL WHO CONF MURDER CASE WITHOUT District Attorney Planning To Rush Case for Early Trial. Four are Held. A coroner's jury Wednesday afternoon held the four occupants of the automobile from the rear of which Policeman Raymond C. Leisinger was slain, for the action of the grand jury. They are James Theodore Holmes, 39, 2139 Fifth Street, Northwest; Harry William Freeman, 21, 1618 Vermont Avenue, Northwest; John Ambrose Gross, 25, 419 K Street, Northwest, and Helen Catherine Jackson, 23, 702 S Street, Northwest. The jury found that the shot which killed the officer was fired by an occupant of the automobile owned and operated by Holmes. At the inquest none of the defendants made statements. The coroner specifically asked Helen Jackson if she cared to make a statement. She arose as he told her of her rights. She replied in a choking voice that she did not care to make any. She looked haggard and worn—a pathetic figure—from her confinement. She was not repersented by counsel. Apparently she has been deserted by all of her former friends. Attorney John H. Wilson represented Freeman; Attorney James A. O'Shea represented Holmes, and Attorney Bertrand Emmerson represented Gross. Long before one thirty, the hour of the inquest, crowds of people began congregating in the street outside the morgue. Most of them were there out of curiosity and too, to get a glimpse of the prisoners as they were brought in. When the hearing began, the small room was filled to its capacity and hunderds stood outside. Detective Sergeant Paul Jones was instrumental in bringing about the arrest of Holmes, Gross and Helen Jackson. Detective Jones was one of the first to be assigned to the case. Early Trial As quickly as possible the case will be given to the grand jury and indictments returned. The District Attorney's office expects to have it ready for trial when court convenes in October. The court will be asked to set an early date for trial. No Smoke Screen One of the witnesses at the inquest who was standing on New York avenue as the car raced down North Capitol street with the officer clinging to it, told the coroner's jury that he did not see a particle of smoke come from the car, as testified to by the Jackson girl. Policeman Leisinger, who was attached to the second precinct, was slain from the rear bumper of an automobile about 4 o'clock Thursday morning, August 28. The police began a relentless search for the murderers. There were practically no clues. Last Wednesday a car with bullet holes through the back was located in a garage in the rear of 1527 Kingman Street, Northwest. The garage owner told the police that it belonged to Holmes. He denied at the inquest, however, that he saw anybody try to hammer these holes out. Last Thursday morning Holmes was arrested at a pressing club at 1826 Seventh Street, Northwest. He had just changed his clothes and the detectives claimed that he was fixing to leave town. He has two artificial legs and as he came down the steps they were instrumental in giving the officers notice of his approach. On Friday Helen Jackson was gi taken into custody at the S Street an apartment in which she lived. Gross ed (Continued on page 3) $5 GOLD THE CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY. FIRST ST., S. E. The Washington Tribune LA FOLLETTE CLUB ORGANIZED HERE BY LOCAL MEN At an enthusiastic meeting held at the residence of Dr. James Randall Wilder, 218 I-Street, Northwest, last Friday night, the LaFollette-Wheeler Progressive Club of the District of Columbia was organized. This is the first club having for its aim the election of Senator LaFollette to the Presidency to be organized by colored people in the East. The LaFollette-Wheeler Progressive Club is the outgrowth of a widespread desire among colored voters to break away from the two old parties, especially the Republican. One of the outstanding features of the meeting was the decision of the club to finance its own way independent of the national organization and to also make contributions to the national treasurer of the Progressive party. Already several members of the club have contributed to the national fund. Dr. J. R. Wilder, who for a number of years was prominently connected with the G. O. P. has had published a leaflet telling why he is supporting Senator LaFollete. The club intends to send out a number of speakers at its own expense to campaign in the interest of the ticket. In addition to deciding to hold weekly meetings, the club also decided to hold a big mass meeting on or about the 22nd of September. At this meeting a number of prominent speakers will appear. The following officers were elected: Doctor James R. Wilder, president; Attorney W. C. Martin, vice-president; Mr. Thomas H. R. Clarke, secretary; Attorney Shelby J. Davidson, treasurer; and Rev. D. W. Williams, chaplain. MOVES CARDOZA VOCATIONAL TO PHELPS SHCOOL MOVES CARDOZA VOCATIONAL TO PHELPS SHCOOL One of the important changes in local colored schools for the coming term starting on the 22nd of this month, is that of the moving of the Cardozo Vocational school from First and I Streets, Southwest, to the Phelps building on Vermont Avenue, near U Street, Northwest. This school has been operated for boys, 14 years of age and over, who had completed the 5-B Grade of the elementary schools. But the enrollment has been small and it was thought that since the trend of the population is to the Northwest and with a group of something like 50,000 colored people living within easy walking distance of the Phelps school that by locating the vocational school there it would attract a much larger enrollment than has been the case at its former location. F. E. Parks, Jr., has been at the head of this school since 1916. The school was established in 1912. This school was opened for the purpose of giving to boys, such practice in trades and such necessary related knowledge, as will enable them to shorten (Continued on page 3) WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1924 Brown Panther's Fists Blast Path Right Up To Champion Jack Dempsey's Door COLORFUL CROWD JAMS BIG ARENA By H. Scott, Sports Editor, Tribune Ringside, Boyles 30 acres, Jersey City, N. J., September 11—In true "pantheristic" style "Harry Wills clawed, pummed and knocked the Argentine "Wild Bull," Luis Angel Firpo, to all corners of the ring, in each of the 12 rounds of their milling here tonight. The bout went the limit because Firpo hung on to Wills the greater portion of the time and although withstanding severe body punishment the blows lacked sufficient steam to wear the foreigner down. Wills had the edge of every round fought. The second round however saw the "brown panther" bring the yelling human mass of 80,000 to its feet, when a slashing right to Firpo's jaw raised the latter off the floor and sent him down with a great thump. This blow however, coming early in the fight found Firpo fresh and he got up after taking the count of three. There were no more knockdowns. The first preliminary bout got underway after eight (daylight saving time). The third preliminary found Bill Tate, matched against an unknown named, John Cananova. Needless to say, Tate outweighing his opponent by over 50 pounds, disposed of him in the first round. Neither fighter had hit a blow until the time of the knockout. No other colored scrappers were on the bill. Just previous to the above bout Jack Dempsey was introduced from the ring. He jumped in the ring, gave a bow, shook Tate and Cananova's hands, was given a rousing reception and ducked in the crowd. About ten o'clock, Luis Firpo with his army of handlers appeared in the ring. The picture men got busy. Five minutes later Harry Wills, wearing a purple robe climbed through the ropes. The entire structure rocked with an ovation twice the volume of that given Firpo. The picture men and referee had their innings and the bout was on. By this time fully 80,000 had found their way into the arena. Hundreds of colored and white women were in the throng. From the very first bell when Firpo missed with his right it was all Wills' until the end. The Argentine did not land a clean blow, practically all of the swings from his "mighty" right landing glancingly on Wills' back. The colored battler gave the greatest exhibitions of defensive boxing that has ever been witnessed in a ring among two heavies. Time and again Firpo was completely tied up in a knot through Wills' cleverness. The crowd was clearly for Wills although the whites were in the preponderance by many thousands. In Firpo's corner between the rounds were Dan Washington, his colored trainer and Bill Tate. Paddy Mullins and Jeff Clarke, acted as Wills' seconds. The contestants weighed early in the afternoon at Joe Jeanete's gymnasium at West Hoboken. Wills tipped the scales at 217: Firpo 224½. The crowd had a peep at George Godfrey who was introduced before the main act. Seeks Race's Vindication In speaking of his desire to become champion, Wills said: "I'm anxious to put my own race in the right light again. When Jack Johnson was champion he acted in a manner that reflected on the entire colored race. I want to win the title so I can prove to the world that a colored man can conduct himself like a gentleman even though he is a boxing champion." In speaking of the fight in the dressing room, Wills said: "Now that HOW WILLS AND FIRPO COMPARED WILLS FIRPO Age 32 yrs. 28 yrs. Height 6ft. 2in. 6ft. 2½ Weight 217lbs. 234½ Reach 84 in. 79 in.

Loves dancing and theatres, but has not visited cabaret since married. Member and regular attendant at St. Christopher M. E. Church, New York. with Jack Dempsey for the world will agree that I am entitled to a fight with Jack Dempsey for the world title. There is no question of my victory. Many folks criticized the bout, but Firpo made me do all the fighting. He is a good tough man, and his blows carry great force. I think if the fight went a few rounds more I would have stopped him. When I dropped him early, I believed I would win by a knockout, but he was so strong and powerful that it was impossible. All I now ask is for Mr. Dempsey to give me a chance at his crown. I early I am entitled to that chance. "I would have knocked Firpo out if the Argentine had opened up more instead of fighting continuously at close range. "Firpo is game and he knows how to handle himself, but his hardest punches didn't hurt me. "I'm ready to give Firpo a return bout any time, anywhere—in his own home town if he wants it."

CHILES, SOCIAL $100 A YEAR WORKER, DIES What Howard University has come to mean in the life of its graduates is best expressed and evidenced by the act and words of Dr. L. Greeley Brown, of Elizabeth, N.J., one of its "sons" who has just commemorated the tenth anniversary of his graduation by insuring his life for $1,000.00, naming his Alma Mater as beneficiary. Howard to be Remembered in Will In forwarding the policy to the Secretary-Treasurer of the University, Dr. Brown wrote: "I am enclosing an endowment life policy taken out by me for $1,000.00, with Howard as the beneficiary. It has been ten years since Howard conferred the degree of 'Doctor of Medicine' on me. This policy will represent $100.00 for each year I have been out. It is my plan to provide in some way for Howard to have $100.00 for each year I am out, payable at the end of ten year periods. That is to say, that ten years from this date, should I be living, I shall send Howard my check for $1,000, and should I not live to see that date, my will will provide that Howard shall receive $100.00 for each year so represented. "This is not to be considered a part of my pledge of $300.00 for the Medical Endowment Fund, since I shall handle that separate from this all together. This pledge of mine for $100.00 each year is to be given as a token of appreciation for Howard and for the love I have for the institution. This is the second Colored physician to insure his life in favor of Howard University, Dr. John A. Kenney, now of Newark, N.J., having been the first." Office: 920 U St., N.W.

Price 5 Cents RED CROSS TO AID STORM STRUCK ISLANDERS RED CROSS TO AID STORM STRUCK ISLANDERS The American Red Cross last Monday cabled $25,000 additionally for the relief of hurricane victims in the Virgin Islands. Last week it cabled $5,000 for immediate relief. Over 3,500 garments have been sent. According to a cablegram from Captain Philip Williams, U.S.N., who is the governor of the islands, over $120,000 is needed. Between three and four hundred families are homeless. The latest report of Captain Williams stated that there were no casualties in the island of St. Thomas. The island of St. John, however, was in the center of the storm and four persons were killed and a considerable number injured. In the British island of Tortola 22 persons died in the hurricane. The island of St. Croix, the largest of the Virgin Islands, escaped without any damage. The homeless, Governor Williams reported, were immediately cared for and fed by the Red Cross, the island government and the marine corps. Aid was also sent to the British island of Tortola. An appeal for clothing for the homeless was made by Miss Mildred Williamson, Red Cross field representative, asking for 2,000 garments. A response totaling 3,566 pieces of apparel for men, women and children was had. The contribution was shipped at once by parcel post. The natives of the Virgin Islands were already in destitute circumstances. Since the purchase of the islands by the United States Government from Denmark in 1917 they have been neglected. The application of the Volstead act destroyed their principal industry, which was the manufacture of bay rum, and the natives have been reduced almost to a state of penury. Recently, however, this Government evinced some interest in them. Secretary of Labor Davis sent a commission to make a study of economic and industrial conditions in the Virgin Islands. Their report is now in his hands. It is intended to form the basis for remedial legislation. The $30,000 which the Red Cross has canned there will be used in rebuilding the homes of hurricane victims and affording other relief. It is expected that it will furnish employment for many of the natives who were unemployed. The natives of the Virgin Islands are colored.

The family of Mr. Richard and Mrs. Lucy Ann Moss, consisting of nine children, sixteen grand children, and two great-grandchildren, met at the old homestead at Lewiston, Spottsylvania County, Va., Saturday, August 23rd, in a glorious reunion. All were present except the oldest grand-son, Lewis Henry Taylor, whose business in Detroit, Michigan, demanded his presence at that time. Mr. and Mrs. Lucy Ann Moss were joined in happy wedlock fifty years ago. They made their home at Lewiston, Va., where they have lived happily and prosperously since that time. The Moss family stands bright in the social life of the community. It has won the highest respect and esteem of the many neighbors and friends of both races whom it has been their pleasure to know through the long period of years.

Girt Who Confesses Without Counsel (Continued from page one.) was also arrested and taken to headquarters. Freeman it is claimed was preparing to leave town but was unable to get sufficient funds. His brother it is alleged called Detective Jackson and told him where he could be found. He was placed under arrest. Confession On Friday night, Helen Jackson the woman in the car, made a statement in which she declared that Freeman fired the fatal shot. Other Statements Later Gross and Freeman made statements also. Gross was the first. He corroborated the story of the girl in all essentials except that he did not see Holmes hand Freeman the gun. The statement of Freeman was similar to the other two. He flatly denied, however, that he fired the fatal shot. He claims that when the shooting began he got down on the flor of the car. He accused Gross of firing the fatal shot. Holmes would make no statement other than to tell the detectives that the bullet holes in his automobile were made by a motorcycle policeman firing at him a week before the murder when he was returning from Baltimore. After statements had been obtained from the others., police asked him to comment. "I will tell the truth at the proper time," he replied. "I have nothing to say now." The fatal bullet found in the body of the policeman is thought to be a .38 calibre, but it is somewhat large. The calibre was not exactly determined. It has been sent to the Bureau of Standards for its exact weight to be determined.

THE MUSEUM VERA MAE SEWALL, HONOR GRADUATE FROM ARMSTRONG AND HOWARD STUDENT DEAD Washington was deeply grieved last week by the death of Miss Vera Mae Sewall, the promising young daughter of Rev. J. E. and Mrs. Iola M. Sewall. Vera was a student at Howard University and graduated with honors from the Technical High School, class '23, receiving a scholarship to teacher's college. Miss Sewall entered the High School at the age of 12 years and made wonderful progress in all her subjects. Had she lived to see October 1st, she would have entered her second year in college at the age of seventeen. Her funeral took place from St. Luke's P. E. Church. Rev. Brown and Rev. Bennett officiating. Her classmates from the Normal School and Howard University turned out in large number to pay her their last tribute of respect. The services were very impressive. Rev. Brown paid glowing tribute to the young life, which was short and beautiful, but well spent. The Colored Women's National Political Progressive Club was organized here this week by a group of prominent women as means of soliciting the support of the women's vote for the candidacy of Senators Pythian Bath House and Sanitarium Knights of Pythias of N.

The Tribune Sport Review Eastern and Western Officials Agree to Stage Negro World Series PAGE FOUR The Eastern New York Conference Ends Baseball War Te Negro baseball war is over. On October 3rd at Philadelphia the first series between the winners of the Eastern and Western Leagues—from all appearances the Philadelphia Hilldale Club and Kansas City Monarchs—will get under way. Colored fans all over the universe will rejoice at this announcement. The baseball compromise was completed in New York, Wednesday. Rube Foster and Tenny Blout, representing the West, made the trip from Chicago and was met in the metropolis by Ed. Bolden and other Eastern League officials. While details of the meeting have not been announced as yet, it is believed that the two leagues agreed to observe full player-rights. It is possible that no trades or sales of players will be made for at least two years. Philadelphia drew the first game of the series. Baltimore will be the scene of the second on October fifth. It is likely that New York will also be the scene of one contest with the western cities—Chicago and Kansas City also getting a peek at the two clubs. The two factions also agreed to hold a joint meeting in December. All previous disagreements will surely be ironed out a this meeting. The start of the baseball war dates back two years when the Hildale club was a member of the Western circuit. Seeing that he couldn't make the Western trips profitable, Bolden withdrew his Hildale club and asked return of his $1,000 deposit. This was denied him by Rube Foster. Bolden organized the Eastern League which has grown with leaps and bounds. Many successful players in the West were garnered by Eastern clubs. Howard Playground to Get Eights Courts Howard Playground to Get Eights Courts Next year will find the Howard playground, 5th and W Streets, Northwest with eight additional tennis courts. The four courts now being used by the James E. Walker Tennis Club will be put under the control of the playground authorities. Four additional courts will be built making a total of eight courts for public use. The site of the Walker Tennis courts is under the supervision of the Interior Department. Dr. Warfield of Fredemen's Hospital which is also under this department, has expressed his approval of the plan. Through the energetic efforts of Miss Pierce, Directress of the Howard Playground, the city playground authorities have agreed to install additional lockers at the swimming pool and will consider making a cinder path for track work. Many other improvements are underway to make this playground the equal of any in the city. FOUR DOZEN HUSKIES REPORT AT TUSKEGEE By C. H. Stewart Tuskegee Institute, Ala., September—Football practice at Tuskegee Institute got under way in good fashion Monday afternoon, when 48 stalwart youths met Coach Abbott on Washington Field. The week was devoted to conditioning exercises and to handling the ball. Among the candidates who reported to early practice were the following members of last season's machine: Captain Duncan, end; Tadlock center; Stevenson and Stewart, half-backs; Bailey, and Joiner, full-backs; Smith, quarter-back; Bos, all-Southern quarter-back of last season is also working out with the squad. Wooten, half back; Brown, guard; Gilbo, left-end and Robinson, guard of last year's eleven are expected to arrive in the Tiger Camp at an early date. The greatest problem faced by Coach Abbott is the line. The loss of Captain Kitchen, Danzby and Harris deprive the Tigers of three of the best tackles in the Southern Conference. The stellar backfields of last season are intact for the 1924 campaign providing Boss remains. Coach Abbott, fresh from the School for Coaches at "Fair Harvard" and "bubbling over" with new ideas, refused to predict the outcome of the forthcoming season. Hampton Scores Third Win Over Hilldale Aided and abetted by Ben Taylor and his cohorts, Lucius Hampton hung up his third win out of four starts against the Hildale League leaders, copping a 6 to 4 verdict at Hildale Park. Bizz Mackey rapped one of Hampton's shoots over the right field fence in the first inning for the initial tally and although eight more hits were gathered by the home clan, with the exception of the last two innings of play, the Boldenites drew blanks. Pee Washington made the game secure for his henchmen when he caught two of his pals loitering on the paths and poked one of Ryan's offerings over deep center field fence for the circuit, this drive proved to be the deciding factor of the combat, Ryan's inability to field his position aided materially in team's defat.

POTOMACS LOSE IN NINTH TO HILLDALE Philadelphia, Sept. 6th—Despite the fact that the Washington aggregation shelled big Nimp Winters off the mound in the sixth inning, by chasing a quartet of markers over the glad, Hilldale knotted up the count in the seventh and put over the winning run in the ninth inning, winning by a 5 to 4 score. The fans were treated often to spectacular feats. Chaney White was the individual star for the visitors, pulling in seven chances, many of them apparently being labeled for hits. The work of Stevens and Warfield around the keystone sack brought rounds of applause from the stands, eleven chances were handled without a slip by the Stevens-Warfield combine and they figured in several double killings that nipped Washington rallies. Wayne Carr, who opposed Winters on the slab, hurled good ball, eight hits, that were well scattered, was the home club's toll against Carr's benders. In the fourth inning, Stevens started trouble for Carr by knocking out a triple, Mackey's double scored Stevens, and Santop's sacrifice fly counted Mackey. The Potomac's cut loose in the sixth and peeled off five hits in rapid succession, that were good for four runs. This barrage of base hits ended Winters' stay on the hill, "Script" Lee taking up the burden. The change worked to a good effect for the locals, as Lee's subway slants proved to be elusive for the visitors' bats. By winning the game Hildale held Washington to an even break on the season's series, each club winning five games.

TUSKEEGE BREAKS GROUND FOR NEW AHLELTIC BOWE Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Sept.—Historic Washington Field, the scene of many hectic gridiron battles and thrilling baseball games, is about to be relegated to the "has been" class. This fact was made evident Saturday morning when the ground was broken for the "Alumni Bowl" the future training field and battle ground of the Tiger Clan. This field will consist of two gridirons; two baseball diamonds, a quarter-mile track with a 220 straightaway, all of which will be enclosed by concrete stands seating more than 20,000 people.

Football followers over the country rejoiced at the good news from Howard University last week that the Howard-Lincoln football game will be played at the American League park at 2 P.M., Thanksgiving Day. Since the 1923 game there has been much discussion as to the site of the next "classic." Rumors had the game going to New York or Atlantic City. Dr. Emmett J. Scott has set all of these rumors at rest. Capital football enthusiasts never once believed that the game would be switched from this city but were fearful that it would be necessary to again have it played in the morning as was the case in 1922. Staging the game in the afternoon this year is expected to increase the attendance, greatly. In fact, it is already predicted that all attendance records for a Negro event will be broken on the occasion of the next Howard-Lincoln "classic."

September first of each year finds all of the principal tennis tournaments completed. Yet, the officials must ponder all winter before naming the leading twenty men and five women players. To our way of reasoning the committee should be able to release its rankings at least one month after the tennis season closes. However, no matter when the rankings are published, it is expected that four or five Washingtonians will find their way to the "first ten." Holmes is assured of the top honor with Ted Thompson a formidable rival of Ayre Saitch of New York for the No. 2 place. The latter's victory over Ted at Philadelphia will probably counteract the local youngster's advancement to the national finals. Allen Woolridge's playing in four tournaments has been high class and only overshadowed by the above trio. The other leading Washington players are Eddie Davis, a youngster; Johnny Wilkinson, rated No. 3 in the 1923 first ten, Sterling Brown and M. Goff. Unless we miss our guess Davis is destined to great things in the tennis world. He is a natural athlete and only lacks a fighting spirit to reach real greatness in more than one sport, and that he is gradually acquiring. Wilkinson, a veteran, promises to remain a prominent tennis figure for years to come. The latter pair are deserving of places among the "big ten." The chief competition for other places will come from Anderson, the Virginia champion, Hudlin of St. Louis, Smith and Gomez of New York, Williams of Chicago, McGriff of Virginia and Villanoa of Philadelphia. EASTERN LEAGUE LIKELY TO ROTATE UMPS It has been predicted that next season the Eastern Colored League will install the system of having its umpires rotate. Much time has been spent by the league officials in the discussion of the umpire question. For two years Nat Strong's two road clubs—Brooklyn Royal Giants and Cuban Stars—have not had to worry about furnishing umpires. However, with the rotating system in vogue, expenses for umpires will come out of the coffers of all clubs. What arrangement the Potomacs' management will make with umpires "Danny" Desport and "Spike" Spencer who handled the local games, is not known. This writer time and again through the past season inquired of visiting players, their opinion of the two above arbitrators, and not once do we recall that a player denounced either. In fact we have heard visiting players remark that the umpiring received here was as high class as any in the league and excelled that of most places. League officials should remember the two local umpires in selecting combinations for the proposed World Series and next season. The removal of the Potomacs' home grounds from Washington to Wilmington, left Spencer and Desport without jobs, and has hampered their chances of building reputations in their profession. Taylor and Robinson should see that they are remembered next season.

Union have at last decided to bury their old hatchets and settle their ancient grudge on the gridiron at Norfolk, Va., Monday, October 27th. The public has long clamored for a meeting of these two crack squads and the fact that they have been finally induced to come to terms is certainly a credit to the game and has removed the shadow that has been hanging over the athletics of both colleges. Norfolk is an excellent locatoin for this classic as it will give to the great number of football followers of this and other sections farther south an opportunity to see two of the "Big Four" in actoin. Preparations are already underway to make this one of the biggest events of the season and numerous social arrangements are being made for the entertainment of the visiting teams, alumni and friends.

However, with uses for umpires will come out of the management will make with umpiresizer who handled the local games, is main through the past season inquired the two above arbitrators, and not once either. In fact we have heard visiting received here was as high class as any past places. League officials should reflect combinations for the proposed removal of the Potomacs' home grounds at Spencer and Desport without jobs, building reputations in their professee that they are remembered next. Colored League place holders, will have to win 16 out of 19 to finish in a tie with Hilldale. At the present time the Hilldale is out in front by more than a full five-game lead and with no more games to play either of the runners-up, the possibility of unseating the Philadelphiaans is a remote one. Due to postponed games and several other reasons, several of the teams are behind in their number of games. In order to pass a definite ruling on this matter, it was decided at the last meting that the date of September 30th would be set for the official close of the season, all games must be played within the allotted time, or the league standing accepted on the basis of game played. HUBBARD RETAINS BROAD JUMP CHAMPIONSHIP Dehart Hubbard, the sensational University of Michigan colored broad-jumper and olympic champion, celebrated his return to the States by out-jumping a large field to retain his national broad-jump title at West Orange, N.J., Saturday, with a leap of 24 feet.

FOOTBALL OUTLOOK AT MOREHOUSE COLLEGE ISBRIGHT Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 6—Despite the dull financial summer and the loss of varsity material by graduation, replies to letters to the football squad and information through the registrar's office, give the football outlook at Morehouse College a very rosy hue. Of the fifteen men receiving the varsity "M" in 1923, four are lost by graduation, namely: C. Kelly, half-back and '23 captain; W. H. Howard, guard E. D. Hutt, quarterback, and C. F. Gayles, end. The other eleven men, all except G. A. Davis, tackle, are expected to return. Those men are A. J. Williams, center; N. Cook and G. Truman, guards; E. Greggs and A. L. Irving, captain, tackles; Archer and Starr, end; E. L. Tonder and C. Clark, half-backs, and L. Jordan, fullback. In addition a number of promising men, who got in most of the games last year but did not get their letters, are expected to give these varsity men a hard job holding down their places on the first team. Some of these are Dozier and Allen, ends; Knighton, center; Webb and Latimer, tackles; Ziegler and Stewart, guards; Lights and Harrison, quarterbacks; A. S. Scott and Rodgers, half-backs; Blocker and J. C. Walker, full-backs. Among the new material from other schools are to be noted, tackle and quarterback from Jackson College, quarterback and end from Americus Institute, a guard from Chicago, and two linesmen and a half-back from Kansas City.

Harris, became the bride, on September 3, 1924, of Mason A. Winston, son of Miles and Rosalia Fisher Winston. The couple were quietly married at the home of the bride by Rev. J. Milton Waldron, Pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church, Washington, D.C. The ceremony which was witnessed only by relatives and friends, took place at one o'clock in the afternoon, and with a solemnity of touch which will long be remembered by those present. Following a processional, played by Mrs. Mammie Plummer, during which Miss Geraldine Tate, Mrs. Hayward Smith, sister of the bride, and Miss Beulah O. Mitchell, who served as maid of honor, matron of honor, and bridesmaid, respectively, took their places in the bridal line, the bride was given away in marriage by her mother. The groom was attended by Attorney Kard F. Phillips. Following a solo, 'I love you truly,' beautifully rendered by Miss Naomi Johnson, the couple responded in firm tones to Dr. Waldron's admonitions, and were soon united in marriage. After a brief reception at the residence of the bride, Mr. and Mrs. Mason A. Winston, accompanied by a party of friends and relatives, departed on their honeymoon, their first stop being Leesburg, Va., where they were tendered a brilliant reception. When the honeymoon is over they will return to their residence at 2125 Newport Place, N.W., which has been tastefully adorned as the abode of the happily-wedded couple.

THEATRICAL NEWS NEW VALENTINO-PARAMOUNT PICTURE HERE SOON If the word "super-production" had not been so badly abused and misused, we would be sorely tempted to apply it to Rudolph Valentino's latest Paramount picture, "Monsieur Beaucaire" which is coming to the Republic Theatre. For if ever a picture deserved superlatives it surely is this screenplay, which Forrest Halsey adapted from Booth Tarkingtons' gloriously human story and which reaches the silver sheet via the directional guidance of Sidney Olcott. Imagine the love interest of "The Sheik," the romantic coloring of "Blood and Sand" and the spectacle of "The Four Horsemen" combined in one photoplay and you begin to understand why "Monsieur Beaucaire" is a photodrama of amazing beauty and power. To the students of history it will be an inspiration; to the schoolboy it will be an education, and to the blase film fan it will be a revelation. All the pomp and magnificence of the court of Louis XV, notorious for its love affairs, its intrigue, honor and vice! The scheming Mme. Pompadour, the dissolute King, the crafty Richelieu—they live once more. And there isn't a man or woman, who will fail to sympathize and thrill with the merry, dashing Duke de Chartres with all his amours and all his fights! Verily, it is a role that only Valentino can play to perfection! As for the supporting cast, it may well be set up as a standard of excellence, including as it does, Bebe Daniels, Lois Wilson, Doris Kenyon, Lowell Sherman, Ian Maclaren, John Davidson, Paulette Duval and many, many others famous on stage and screen. Film fans, you who rave about the great pictures you have seen, see "Monsieur Beaucaire" and you will have something to brag about!

The statement of William H. Lewis, that the Republican party is the party of the Klan today, was corroborated by the returns from the election held in the State of Maine, Monday. The issue between the Democratic and Republican candidates for Governor, was clearly a Klan and anti-Klan issue. The result, of more than 30,000 majority for the klan-endorsed Republican candidate, is sufficient evidence, backed by the silence of the President, that the Republican party is the party of the knights of the Ku Klux Klan. Compare Republican-ridden Maine, on the Klan issue, with Democratic Texas, or Oklahoma. In Texas there was recently held a contest for the nomination of a candidate for Governor. A woman ran on a strictly anti-Klan platform. She received the nomination by more than 112,000 majority, in a State where it was thought that the Klan was all powerful. Two years ago the Klan elected a United States Senator in Texas. This year sentiment is against the Klan there. In Oklahoma the Klan was strong enough last year to impeach Governor Walton. This year he aspired for the seat in the Senate on the Democratic ticket and made the Klan the principal issue. He was nominated by a large majority. His Republican opponent is a Klan-endorsed candidate. Texas and Oklahoma, have spoken against the Klan. Republican Maine, in the first election of this year, has spoken for the Klan. The Klan is an issue in New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. What will be the result in November, with the Republicans accepting the endorsement of the Klan and the Progressives and Democrats denouncing the Klan? NATIONAL MEETINGS A MENACE the month of August there were quite a sections of colored people. Ims and Elks met in Pittsburgh; the Uni nt Association met in New York City; The ness League met in Chicago; The Nation met in Dallas, Texas; The Knights of L Woodmen, the Mosaic Templars, the Net During the month of August there were quite a number of National meetings of colored people. The Masons and Elks met in Pittsburgh; the Universal Negro Improvement Association met in New York City; The National Negro Business League met in Chicago; The National Teachers Association met in Dallas, Texas; The Knights of Pythias, the American Woodmen, the Mosaic Templars, the National Negro Women Clubs and what not, have met or will meet in various places. This week the Odd Fellows are meeting in Pittsburgh. One of the National Baptist Conventions is meeting in Nashville and the other in Chicago. Last week, the Lott Carey Baptist Convention met here. Then there were the general conferences of the various Methodist bodies in the early summer. In addition to all of these meetings there have been State and annual meetings of various sorts and kinds. This holding of meaningless national meetings annually, has become a serious menace to the economic and social welfare of the race. The one big feature of the majority of these annual affairs, is the Election of Officers. Politics, graft and chicanery run rampant in many instances and the persons or group of persons that can assemble and juggle the voters the boldest or the slickest get the offices, not the persons best fitted to hold them. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are literally thrown to the winds in sending delegates (?) to the various national and state meetings. It is possible that more than $500,000 are being spent this week by the two Baptist Conventions in Nashville and Chicago. What return is the race getting from this national drain on its purse that is in any way commensurate for this enormous outlay? Our economic weakness is alarming, while our flagrant annual meetings continue in the same old way. Our position in this highly specialized industrial and commercial country depends far more upon an organized economic program than upon these annual meetings of fraternal, religious and social organizations. Where is the Negro that is large enough to see this need and form the organization to free the race of this economic slavery? These fraternal societies will spend thousands of dollars in sending delegates to an annual meeting for the sole purpose of electing some man or woman Grand-this and Grand-that, while at home they often fail to pay some poor member the small sum of $3.00 for a week's illness and hem and haw over paying a death claim of $60 or $70 to some poor widow, whose husband had been a member for a number of years. Often they wait from 60 to 90 days in order to collect enough to pay her. Consider the approximately $3,000,000 spent by colored people of these United States this year on annual meetings, how far would it go in establishing chain stores, in erecting homes for many of these homeless delegates, in operating factories to employ many of these idle delegates? If this $3,000,000 was divided into twelve parts of $250,000 each, and each $250,000 was placed in twelve cities and divided into twenty parts, that would give $10,000 capital for twenty-five new enterprises for each city and 300 for the twelve cities. Which would be the greater help in solving the so-called problems of the race, fostering greater racial consciousness, giving us more self help and self appreciation, the establishing of 300 new business enterprises each year, with a capital of $10,000 each, or the continuing of these "annual meetings" resulting in the flagrant squandering of these opportunities?

Victory is world flight than some to Seville fo the future held fo The Hardwick-Harris Race in Georgia. Mr. Davis Invades the West. The American Flyers. The Hardwick-Harris contest in Georgia for the United States Senate presents a political contest second to none in bitterness and interest. The battle recently fought in Texas presented no more spectacular aspects than the one the Democrats of Georgia will decide in their state primary September 9. They are to nominate a full list of state officers, but none has the importance to the Georgia Democracy as that of United States Senator. Thomas W. Hardwick hopes to wrest the seat from the senior Senator, William J. Harris. The Klan, as in the Texas gubernatorial fight, is the predominant issue in the Georgia Senatorial race. Georgia is the seat of the hooded order, therefore, like Texas, is a Klan stronghold. (I. L. Parker) Mr. Hardwick has vehemently denounced the Klan throughout the State and has gone so far as to charge Harris with being directly connected with the Klan through membership in a subsidiary body. Mr. Harris has devoted himself to other issues. If Hardwick succeeds, it will be a political comeback for him which may be regarded as daring, considering the influence which the Ku Klux Klan has in Georgia. He is an avowed enemy of the hooded order, consequently there is little surprise at his defying the organization. Klan throughout the State and ris with being directly connected in a subsidiary body, to other issues. If Hardwick comeback for him which may be the influence which the Ku Kluxed avowed enemy of the hooded surprise at his defying the one. The outcome of this race will Follette party. Should Harris forts to plant the third party states will, no doubt, receive a Ku Kluxed state quite satisfactory record. Hardwick is a Democrat views and one of the few Democrats and wit to consistently disagree the latter's foreign policies. Littic to a number of the Democrat President Wilson disfavored his election to the Senate six years apart, Harris. However, should Hardwick play the third party fires will be a vote for La Follette might come November. Democratic leaders realize the consequences involved. They rung the Hardwick-Harris race in November. Therefore they havegressive activity in Harris' behalf. Senatorial election will have a role of the next Senate, in the event Overman, of North Carolina, or forecast that Senator Harris, if of the Senate Appropriations committee. Hardwick will be of much aid should he be elected. He is an sailed Senator Harris with united with Klan affiliations, attacked duced the League of Nations as The Honorable John W.

Should Harris have a landslide, La Follette's efforts to plant the third party in Georgia and other Southern states will, no doubt, receive a setback. Harris has served the Ku-Kluxed state quite satisfactorily and will be favored for this record. Hardwick is a Democratic independent of pronounced views and one of the few Democratic Senators who had the nerve and wit to consistently disagree with President Wilson as to the latter's foreign policies. Like La Follette, he was antagonistic to a number of the Democratic Administration's war measures. President Wilson disfavored him. When he was offered for reelection to the Senate six years ago, Mr. Wilson supported his opponent, Harris. However, should Hardwick poll a large vote, or be nominated, the third party fires will be fanned to a lively blaze and a large vote for La Follette might conceivably be polled in Georgia next November. Democratic leaders realize the importance of this race and the consequences involved. They realize that other states are watching the Hardwick-Harris race for signs of what will happen in November. Therefore they have spurred the organization to aggressive activity in Harris' behalf. They realize further that this Senatorial election will have a decided effect on the organization of the next Senate, in the event it is Democratic. With Senator Overman, of North Carolina, desiring another assignment, it is forecast that Senator Harris, if re-elected, will be made chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee—an important committee. Hardwick will be of much assistance to the La Follette group should he be elected. He is an effective campaigner. He has assailed Senator Harris with unexampled fierceness, charged him with Klan affiliations, attacked him as a pussy-footer, and introduced the League of Nations as a minor issue. The Honorable John W. Davis has gone to the Woolly West to find out what it is all about. He could not afford to take the specious advice offered him to disregard Democratic chances beyond the Mississippi and to center his campaign effort on holding the South and carrying a few Eastern States. Such a procedure would be all right if La Follette and Coolidge should enter into a benevolent political partnership, but La Follette may be counted upon to shake the integrity of the Democratic party much more seriously than he will that of the Republican. We expect him to detach from the Democracy the support of organized labor, which went to Bryan and Wilson, and would perhaps have gone in large measure this year to McAdoo. In the Woolly West, it is a struggle for the Democratic party to avoid running third, despite the fact that this territory has been, next to the South, the section which has done most in the last thirty years to keep Democracy to the front in the Nation. No far-sighted statesman should allow the Democratic organization in other trans-Mississippi states to fall into the ruin which has overtaken it in Minnesota and the Dakotas. This section sends eight Democrats to the Senate, not counting the doubtful Wheeler. It divides with the Republicans the seats from Washington, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, Colorado, and Wyoming. Very rarely does it fail to elect two Senators from Montana, and, not long ago, it also contributed Senators from Oregon, California, Idaho, South Dakota, and Nebraska. It was the electoral vote of this section that saved Wilson from defeat in 1916. The Democratic party is composed of three sectional elements—the Southern, the Far Western, and the Northern and Eastern Democracy. It is not a unified party, but rather a federation. Yet each element is essential to the preservation of the National organization. It is hardly probable that Mr. Davis will be elected, but it is highly probable that he will help La Follette throw the election into Congress. Yet he is morally bound to do his best to maintain the national character of his party. His fight is a defensive one, which requires him to carry it into all sections where La Folletteism aspires to eliminate the Democracy as a major party. The American around the world flyers arrived here the 9th, precisely 402 years since the Victoria let go her weary anchors under the spires of Seville, and Sebastian del Cano and thirty other survivors of Magellan's expedition knew themselves to be the first men in history to have brought a ship around the world. The voyage of the "Magellans of the Air" is similar to the first Magellan's in a small respect, but of far less importance. Perhaps the Magellan voyage was the greatest ever sailed. The tremendous ardors, uncertainties and endurance of those astounding days when men were beginning to appreciate that the world—all of it—was in fact their own, can not be repeated now, because the world has grown so much smaller in the mean time. The "Magellans of the Air" confronted nothing like that one epochal risk of Magellan's, when he and his crew sailed westward over an unknown but "pacific" sea for ninety-eight days, sighting only two barren islands in the whole time and chewing leather from the rigging at the end of it while they waited for the Spice Islands to appear. The short but acute risks which the flyers faced were nothing as compared with the long ones faced by Magellan and his men. While both expeditions meant grueling work, there is a vast difference in the homecoming. Victory is much less appropriate for the flag plane of the world flight than it was for the heroic little caravel that came home to Seville four hundred years ago, to tell men likewise what the future held for them. The Colored women of the District of Columbia are deeply interested in the election of Coolidge and Dawes. They are living up to their slogan: "Organize; Harmonize." They are (I. L.

MUSIC FORUM By Wellington A. Adams WESLEY I. HOWARD WRITES SERIES ON THE VIOLIN VIOLIN STUDY There are three lines of study along which every violinist should be taught simultaneously whether he is an elementary, intermediate, or advanced student. The first deals with technic olny and might well be called by that name. The second combines technic with style and may be placed under the heading of etude studies, or caprices. The third is a matter of interpretation, being a combination of all forms of technic and style. It includes concertos, sonatas, duets, trios, quartets, and all other forms of solo or ensemble works. The three branches of an education in violin then are Technic, Etudes and Repertoire. Both teacher and student should see to it that all three are given the same amount of attention. Before combining the three it may be better to treat them separately, first, from the elementary, through the intermediate, and into the advanced grades. Technic In violin playing technic simply means the ability to overcome the difficulties encountered by the fingers and bow. In other words, the ability to play the notes. The subject may be divided into two parts, left hand technic (the fingers) and right hand technic (the bow). With very talented pupils it is possible to combine the two but ordinarily the fingers should be considered first. After the first lesson or two, left-hand technic means scales, arpeggios, and finger exercises. The finger exercises may be omitted if the scales and arpeggios are properly understood and carefully studied. All that can be learned technically about violin playing may be acquired by playing scales and arpeggios. An outline of possibilities of scale and arpeggio work will go far towards convincing those who may feel doubtful about their technical value. There is one thing to be understood at the outset. It is that there are twenty-four different keys in which all major and minor scales should be played. Any major or minor scale mentioned should therefore be played in twenty-four different keys. It should also be remembered that there are at least four kinds of scales to be I am now located at 1326 U Street, N.W.

Hi-Ja Chemical Co., Box 598-D, Atlanta, Ga. Technic Left-Hand Technic considered whenever scales are mentioned. They are major, harmonic minor, melodic minor, and chromatic scales. First there are scales and arpeggios in one octave using single notes, to be played in every position and beginning on different notes of the scale or chord. Without going any further it will be found that there are nearly a thousand different scales and arpeggios already to be played. However, that is just the beginning. They should be played with every practical different fingering. Then the scales and arpeggios in two and three octaves are yet to be considered. When one is ready to study three octave work he will find that there are uniform fingerings for all major, minor, and chromatic scales and for the thiryt-six forms of triads and arpeggios. Next to be considered is double stopping. In most cases the arpeggios are not used. Double stopping means using two fingers or two strings at the same time. Scales in thirds, sixths, octaves, unisons, and tenths should be played in one and two octaves. Then scales combining thirds and sixths, or thirds, sixths and octaves, or other combinations, should be learned. Scales on three strings combining thirds, etc., are next. Then there are chords on four strings played as arpeggios. Left hand pizzicato (plucking the strings) requires the use of two, three, and sometimes four fingers at the same time and is next to the last word in violin technic. Scales, arpeggios and chords are possible in this peculiar phase of violin playing. The very last word in left-hand technic is in the study of harmonics. In scales where only one sound at a time is to be heard, it is necessary to use TWO fingers (except for "natural" harmonics) in order to produce ONE sound. In order to play sixths, thirds, etc., it is often necessary to use four fingers at once in order to produce two sounds, although in a few cases one finger will produce two sounds. The violinist who has_covered the work outlined above need not be troubled about left-hand technic. The only other thing to be considered technically is the bow. (To be continued next week.)

"Those versed in the clinical knowledge of syphilis know the fallacy of this assumption, and have fought valiantly to throw the clean light of public menace to public health. "The social barrier placed around the discussion of this disease through the custom of centuries has prevented the world from knowing its true position in relation to the well-being of the race. The effects of no disease are so insidious and far-reaching as those of syphilis, because it is the only one in which the parasite causing it is handed down from parent to offspring. This one fact places it as the greatest menace. "Syphilis does not spare the throne, the cloister, nor the brothel. It attacks all classes and all ages of man. Probably 15 per cent of the population of any given civilized country is infected with this disease in times of peace; but this percentage jumps up tremendously in times of war, when crowds of people are moving promiscuously from place to place. All infectious diseases increase during such periods. "All cases of paresis and locomotor ataxia are due to syphilis. Therefore 30 to 40 per cent of those who are confined in our State hospitals are there through the destructive influence of syphilis. "Sixty per cent of diseases of the heart are due to syphilis, as is also a certain per cent of cases of total blindness. Various other pathological conditions which incapacitate or totally destroy a large per centage of the human race are claimed by this disease. "It is a most appalling fact when one considers that nearly one-quarter of the cases of acquired syphilis are contracted innocently. The statistics at the Barnard Free Skin and Cancer Hospital in St. Louis show that 24.5 per cent of those appearing at the clinic of that hospital with the initial lesion of syphilis (the chancre) as their chief complaint had the chancre situated extragenitally and had contracted it innocently. In Sweden, where the disease was recently made a reportable one, the percentage of innocent extragenital infections is 23 per cent. "We mean by 'innocently' that these infections were not transmatted through vicious habits.

This prostitution is stimulated in these girls by the love of dress, finery, and a so-called 'good-time.' These ignorant lovers of dress are not within the law, as they are not public prostitutes, and education is the only medium for circumventing infections acquired in this manner. "The medical profession know certain prophylactic means by which the prevention of infection may be secured. These means were widely used by the Government in the army and navy." The Washington Tribune heartily agrees with the above from the St. Louis Health Bulletin, but has no hope that any great good can be done along this line until mothers talk to their daughters and fathers talk to their sons. It should be part of a parents' creed to teach his or her child the way it should go—what it should do—what it should not do. Ignorance is the bane of a race or of a nation. This is more important, parent, than any subject concerning the race. While teaching the child to meet God after death, emphasize the fact that he or she must live while living—and the living must be clean in every way. Your family physician will be glad to give you information on this subject, which you in turn should be big visioned and noble enough to tell your children. Remember, parents, a child who is old enough to read this is old enough for you to talk to on this very vital subject. It is an easy matter, and a good habit to have, to say "please" and "I thank you." "Mid pleasures and palaces, Though far we may roam, Be it ever so humble There's no place like home." SIX LITTLE OUTLAWS There are six phrases every child should strive to get rid of. To defeat them is very simple. Don't say: "Ain't, "J-you was," "I seen," "I done," "I ain't gonna do nothin'" and "nigger." Some children may think these quotations are smart. They are not smart. They show bad taste. The use of them in fun may fasten the use of them upon you so thoroughly that they will become a fixed habit with you. Then when you least expect, they may be used-at a time when they will cause you great embarrassment. L.

One of his ancestors, a full-blooded Negro, was ennobled by Peter the Great. Alexander inherited this ancestor's dark skin and a mass of curly hair. During his early life he began writing. One of his poems, "Ode to Liberty" brought him the displeasure of the court and to escape being arrested and sent to the prison at Siberia he managed to be appointed to an official post at Kishineff, in Southern Russia. When Tzar Nicholas ascended the throne in 1825, Puskin was recalled to Moscow and appointed imperial historiographer. Puskin gained great reknown while he lived as being the greatest writer in Russia and among the greatest poets of the world at that time. As a poet, he still remains the greatest Russia was produced. --- WE WANT YOUR PHOTOGRAPHS WE WANT YOUR PHOTOGRAPHS Tribunites, again we are asking you to send in your pictures, so that other Tribunites may see just who you are.

CHURCH GIVES PASTOR AN AUTOMOBILE As an expression of the high and genuine esteem in which the officers and members of the Lomax A. M. E Zion Church at Arlington, Va., hold their faithful and capable Pastor, the Rev. F. R. Killingsworth, D.D., they have presented him with a handsome automobile. The gift is rather unique in that it is the first of the kind among the A. M. E. Zion churches in this vicinity. Dr. Killingsworth, who lives at 1500 S Street, N.W., has been the recipient of much deserved honor recently. He has received the degree of Doctor of Divinity from Livingstone College; was complimented with membership in the last Quadrennial Conference of his denomination, held at Indianapolis, Indiana; is now serving as Secretary of the Inter-denominational Ministers' Alliance of the District of Columbia, and as President of the A.

Whites Damage Home on N Street Vandalism on the part of jealous whites resulted in the damage of the premises at 2315 N Street, last week. This property is located near Rock Creek and in the same block several colored families live. 2315 which is a two apartment building, was purchased some time ago by Mr. French E. Carter of 904 Twenty-second Street, Northwest. At the time of purchase the house was occupied by whites. Recently the white family on the first floor moved out and Mr. French rented the apartment to colored. The colored family moved in last Tuesday night. Previous to their moving in, white persons, names unknown, broke in the house, knocked down doors, twisted off gas jets and did other damage to the premsis. Jealousy is believed to have been the cause of the attack. Mr. French was the first race man to purchase property in this row. La Follette is Attracting Votes Chicago, Illinois, September 4, La Follette Headquarters. Within the last ten days the national headquarters has been flooded with letters from colored men and women all over the country pledging their support to Senators La Follette and Wheeler, and inquiring in what way they can best help to elect them. The work of organizing the colored people is car- ried on with a rapidity which has baffled our opponents. The white press of this city expresses surprise over the deflection of the colored voters from the Republican camp, and their flocking to the La Follette camp. The most effective plan which has been devised to reach the people is that of organizing La Follette-Wheeler-for-President clubs. One of these clubs may be found in almost every community. Cook County boasts of two strong organizations, one on the south side and the other on the west side. Mr. A. Sewell a prominent citizen of Chicago, has been named as State Elector. This appointment is in harmony with the policy of La Follette organization to give equal representation to the colored people. Up to date a number of Negro newspapers have pledged support to the Senator. In a private conference with I. Willis Cole and J. E. Mitchell, newspaper editors, Congressman Nelson, National Manager, explained the attitude of La Follette toward the colored people and the part which he played in the fight for the passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill. The Republican leaders in congress, he said, were not sincere in their efforts to pass the bill. It was utterly disgusting to an honest man to see the way they evaded and side-stepped their responsibility. Senator LaFollete's vigorous attack on the Ku' Klux Klan has driven Davis and Dawes out of their holes and has extracted a confession from them. Coolidge is still silent. His silence is a vote-getting, golden silence. It is a bid for the Klan votes. Business Opportunity Will Sell Stock or Fixtures or Both Store now enjoying a good trade with bright prospects.
