The coroner’s jury recoipmended that one man be held, but the county attorney’s office claimed there was not enough evidence to convict and ordered him re leased. Thera is something rotten in the state of Denmark when Negroes who commit crimes against Negroes can get off so easily. RELEASE GARVEY The Monitor desires to re peat its request to President Coolidge that Marcus Garvey be released from Atlanta peni tentiary. We are pleased to see that the press is raising a united voice for this act of clemency or justice. Garvey, more the victim of circum stances, than of deliberate de sign, as we have always be lieved, was sentenced to Atlan ta prison for a term of five years for using the mails to de fraud. He has served nearly one-half of the allotted time. Others have been released and Garvey should be released also. Release Marcus Garvey! THINK THIS OVER Max Rosenbaum has just opened a lunch stand on the southwest corner of Twenty fourth and Charles street. It is in one of those square arti ficial stone buildings which are much used for this kind of business. Mr. Rosenbaum is the man who two or three years ago conducted a restau rant on Cuming street near Twenty-third,* where it is al leged he refused to serve col ored patrons unless they would eat in the kitchen. It is also alleged that for a time he dis played a sign reading, “Color ed trade not solicited.” Mr. Rosenbaum went out of busi ness on Cuming street. It has been said “he went broke.” He has opened his lunch counter now in a Negro neigh borhood within the same block in which are two neat well kept restaurants owned by Ne gro proprietors. Of course, he now expects and desires “colored patronage.” Do you think he ought to get it? FILE BROOMFIELD WILL The will of John H. Broomfield, filed in county court Monday, involv m ing an estate at more than 50 thou sand dollars, leaves more than half of his property to his adopted son, Leroy C. Broomfield of Omaha. Mr. Broomfield died suddenly of heart trouble September 7. To his brothers, George, of St. Louis, Nathan of Chicago, and Levi of Omaha; a niece, Mrs. Cor esia Shockley of Omaha and a nephew, LeRoy of Chicago, the will bequeaths five thousand dollars each. Eddie Robinson and Leon Wallace of Omaha, friends, are left one thou sand dollars each- The rest goes to the adopted son. The will was drawn December 26, 1925. Property includes 113 lots in Gary, Ind., a store building at Twenty fourth and Erskine streets, the Broomfield apartments at Lake and Twenty-fifth street and the residence at 2124 Lake street. Personal prop erty including building and loan stock, mortgages and jewelry is listed at 10 thousand dollars. Broomfield is said by his attorneys to have given away a considerable portion of his wealth in recent years. SOME MORE HEALTH RULES By Algernon B. Jackson, M. D. (For The Associated Negro Press) Ever since Moses received the Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai, the magic number of ten has been asso ciated with edicts and laws. The fol lowing ten health commandments came out of Georgia, having been issued by the Athens and Clark county health department. No color line seems to have been drawn in them, so I pass them on to you with a hearty recommendation. 1. Eat wisely; much raw milk, green stuffs, fruit and whole grain bread; little meat and sugar; avoid alcohol and stimulants. 2. Exercise freely; stand and sit erect. 3. Use your lungs; breathe fresh air day and night; stay in the Bun light a part of every fair day. 4. Be clean; wash your hands be fore you eat; bathe often; clean your teeth morning and night. 5. Feel well; don’t get over-tired; rest is your best friend; a 30-minute nap in midday is not laziness, but good sense. 6. Be regular; don’t break your appointments with yourself for meals, sleep, and bowel movements. 7. Keep your balance; hurry and worry serve no man. Play a little every day. 8. Keep safe; fight shy of the careless sneezer, and spitter, the common drinking cup, and the home with the open well or open toilet. 9. Don’t be too smart; when you are sick, go to bed and call a doctor; few who do this promptly die of pneumonia and flu. 10. Be thrifty; invest in an exam ination by a doctor and dentist on your birthday every year. It will pay dividends. f | | EPISCOPAL $ | Church of St. Philip the Deacon f *♦* 21st near Paul X Rev.

E. church held its annual Emancipation Day celebration at Krug Park. A number of automo biles, among them several beautiful ly decorated ones, formed in proces sion at St. John’s church, and pre I ceded by mounted police in com mand of Lieutenant Harry Buford and headed by a band, paraded through the principal streets to the park. At the park, various amuse ments were enjoyed and the princi pal address of the day “Slave or Freeman,’’ was delivered by the Rt. Rev. Archibald James Carey of Chi cago. The speaker traced the steps leading up to emancipation and stressed the responsibility of free dom and the duties involved in citi zenship. The Rev. John Adams also spoke. In the evening a large num ber enjoyed dancing under the aus pices of Roosevelt Post. Prizes in various contests were awarded. The prize for the most beautifully decor ated car was awarded to Mrs. Alice Sherwood. Mrs. Matthews was crowned queen of the carnival and was awarded a diamond ring. Mrs. Willie Ray won first prize in ticket selling, followed by Mrs. Hallie John son, who won second prize. MME. WALKER’S HEIR WEDS PITTSBURGH ATTORNEY Pittsburgh, Pa.—Society was as tounded by the recent announcement that Mrs. Mae Walker, heiress to the W’alker millions, had been married to Marion Perry, one of Pittsburgh’s most prominent and promising attor neys. Mrs. Mae Walker Jackson was the former wife of Dr. Gordon Jack son. The quiet wedding which joined the couple has been contrasted with the famous, and some are bold enough to declare “ill-fated,” million dollar wedding held when Miss Walk er was joined in wedlock with Dr. Gordon Jackson, a few years ago. PULLMAN PORTERS FILE PETITION WITH COMMERCE COMMISSION The Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters on the 7th day of September, 1927, filed a petition with the Inter state Commerce commission request ing an investigation of the rates of the Pullman company. It is the con tention of the brotherhood that the company be required to pay the prop er wages to the Pullman porters and relieve them of the present undem ocratic and unsystematic requirement of performing the management’s duty of collecting part of their wages. The company admits that porters’ solicited tips or collected wages from 122,4.77,061 sleeping car passengers to the tune of twenty-five cents each 'and ten cents from 13,155,052 seat j passengers the sum ,of $7,000,000 1 annually. The porters’ petition alleges that the tips are uncertain and indefin ! ite and that there is an additional charge on the tickets that the pas ! senger pays for his accommodations ! and constitutes a violation of the In terstate Commerce Act, since it fos j ters the practice of discrimination as the old rebate system. A group of prominent citizens throughout the country will join in the petition, according to the general roganizer. | For LOWER PRICES |j j S FURNITURE 1 T Rugs and Draperies ’jTt f with CREDIT | •{• and the smallest monthly !j! payments see £ | HARTMAN’S j | 413-15-17 So. 16th St. | x-<~x~x~mx-<-<~x~x--x--x~x~x~x x-:-x-X“.x-x-x-x--x-x-x«x--:-:-: | GOLDEN RULE I ?
