Now, we j wonder who that could be? I The boys who went on the good will iour all say they really had a wonderful trip. Oh, Palmer I house!

Adams (For The Literary Service Bureau) A man was on trial for his life. He was accused of murdering his wife. !

Th. chief and n.ost riar.g rous pro secuting witness ras a woman of 2d years. The accused man fell in love with this woman when he became es tranged from his wife and somet.me | before her suspicious death. He gave her expensive presents ranging from a canary bird to a motor car. She accepted these and used them. She admitted that she even received from him money under false pretense and i “got all she could out of him ” Then this young woman took the witness stand and tried to send to death the man who loved her and made these rich presents. She did not know he killed his wife ■ But if she did and knew that he had done it be cause of love for her, it was rank treachery for her to seek his death. He gave love, adoration, devotion, and I expensive presents and she repaid with treachery. This is unusual for a woman and it puts her in the class with Judas Iscariot, Brutus and Bene dict Arnold. She deserves condemna tion and ostracism. The world will ever hate treachery, no matter what the circumstances. What Others Think! — A Colored Daily Newspaper or Tri eekly Newspaper would be a strong advertising feature heading 1 frcrn Washington. D. C to Chicago, j with subsidiaries west and south. A Daily running instead of weeklies. A Daily Colored Newspaper Syndi cate could add a million dollars a year income from advertising, over the present weekly newspapers, with a unit force from Washington to Chicago: having a strong politi cal force demanding better rights and justice for Colored Citizens. -- The time for a colored daily news paper has arrived- News matter 3 to 10 days old re-written makes stale newsmatter- It is poor composition against Caucasian dailies bringing forth fresh news matter every few j hours. With such weeklies as the Baltimore Afro-American, Baltimore, Md., Pittsburgh Courier, at Pitts burgh, Penn-, The Chicago Defender, Chicago, 111., The Kansas City Call, at Kansas City, Missouri, and the Am sterdam News, New York, would make a strong combination. With a coupl ing up of these strong weeklies, they could issue from each point a part of a daily paper which would be no (more than the weekly publication, i which each of them now put forth • For instance, the Chicago paper could come out on Sunday and Monday, the New York paper Tuesday and 'Wed nesday, The Baltimore paper Thurs day, Pittsburgh paper Friday and the Kansas City paper Saturday. They could telegraph their daily matter over special wires going to each point, one establishment giving the news from their section from one quarter section, second, third and fourth quarter, completing a circuit of news each day. Since each of these newspaper publications have their own newspaper plants, this would make it easy, economical and profitable. It would cut down unnecessary expense. And give the daily paper better feat ure writers. The object in view would | be obtained. The colored citizens’ in ; terest would be advanced in the United i States and a colored daily would be competing with the caucasion dailies Advertising would be valuable to merchants in the industrial, commer cial world, because of the important current news freely coming forth about the colored population in the United States Many small weekly colored publications would be special correspondence because they would feed upon the news, as subsidiaries and would at the day of their publi cation have the main features in their You Can't Fool the Boy You Want!

B—I would like to knew what my husband does every night to keep him away from home? Ans.—He has apparently been cheating on you, for there is a girl he has been going with lately that he is in the company with nearly every night—She is the one whose picture you found in your husband's pocket. B. G B.—What kind of employ ment should I seek to be able to obtain livelihood ? Ans.—Since you are taking a course in the afternoon and spending your mornings studying, you should try to find some kind of night job—Being af flicted in your right arm, and not able to do physical labor, the kind of work suitable for you would be as a night watchman. C. L-—I want to know when I will get what I want?

C. D—I would like to know where my wallet went to? Ans.—A few nights ago while you were on the ship going to Baltimore, it seems that your wallet slipped out of your pocket during a card game. After the game was over, it appears that the waiter cleared away the table —Your wallet seems to be in his pos session now. F M. R.—Will I be successful in finding a good boy friend? Ans.—At the dance you are plan ning to attend the latter part of this month, you’ll meet several nice boys that will be attentive toward you. When you start going with a boy you should be careful so as not to scare him off— No boy wants to have a girl friend who checks up on every move he makes. A.

The winner of this contest will go to Kansas City, Missouri, June 9th, where the Regional contest will be held, the winner of which will be awarded a 4-year scholarship for any college or university of his choice. From these contests, since they were established by the Grand Lodge of Elks, more than 70 boys and girls have been graduated, and at present about 65 are attending the various col leges and universities. It is hoped by these contests to develop strong men and women who are able to stand on his or her feet and give expression to their worthwhile thoughts, and in telligently expound the doctrines and principles of the constitution, for this country is governed by law and not by men, and how are we to secure our rights under the constitution if we do not know what they are ? It is hoped that enough racial pride and educational interest will be ex hibited by the Negroes of Omaha to ‘ infuse a spirit of collective efficiency,' which seems to be waning among us. Hollins Case Victory' Means New Court Fight in Oklahoma State Authorities Announce Plan to Try Him Ag'ain in June or July; Defense Fund Needed Oklahoma City, Okla., May 23— Jess Hollins, twice snatched from death on the gallows by the N. A. A. C. P. and saved again by the United States supreme court in a decision handed down May 13, faces retrial almost immediately by Oklahoma courts. State authorities announced here this week that they are rushing plans to try Hollins again, perhaps as early as June. The state branches of the X. A. A. C. P. and the national office in Xew York are going forward with plans for the Hollins defense,. but are faced wtih the task of raising the money needed to carry on. In its decision Monday the su preme court again struck at the practice of barring Negroes from service and declared the convic tion of Hollins was unconstitu tional because Oklamoha had re fused to call Negroes as jurors. The case was argued before the court April 29 by Dean Charles H. Huston, of the Howard Uni versity law school and a member of the national legal committee of the N. A. A. C. P. He was as sisted in preparing the case by W. L. Houston and Edward P. Lovett. The state of Oklahoma was represented by its attorney general. Mr. Houston and his as sociates served without pay, but the incidental expenses were paid by the N. A. A. C. P. These were reduced somewhat by having Hol lo ' appeal as a pauper. Faced with a new trial in Okla homa. new money must be' raised. The previous trials of Hollins cost more than $500 and would have cost much more had not Editor Roscoe Dunjee and others given service without even charg ing expenses to the association. The X. A. A. C. P. is appealing for a Hollins defense fund of at least $1,000 as it is likely there wil be additiona expenses, no. in the first trial. The Hollins ease is one of the most dramatic ever handled by the N. A. A. C. P. Hollins was convicted in December. 1931 of criminal assault on a white girl in or near Sapulpa, Oklahoma., and setnenced to death. The L L. D. took charge of the case. Nothing was done for some months and the death date was set for August 1, 1932. Leading colored citizens in Sapulpa, MeAlas.er and Okla homa City, seeing no effort was beine made to save Hollins wired the N. A. A. C. P. on August 15th, and on August 17th. a stay of exe cution was secured for him to ap peal to the supreme court. The Oklahoma state supreme court immediately reversed the conviction and granted a new trial. In its decision it used some of the strongest language in years in condemning the lower court for its handling of the case. It declared Hollins had not been protected in his rights, that he had had no lawyer, that he had been tried in the basement of the jail, at night, with a howling mob outside and that the authorities had taken advantage of him. In the new trial, testimony cast strong doubt upon the rape charge and revealed the young woman as one who mingled with Negroes. The jury also was brought out A conference will be called of the state branches on or before June 1 to push defense plans. Charge NRA Officials Helped Intimidate Negro Workers i Washington, May 23.—The fa mous Maid-well Garment Com pany case crashed the news lanes again this week when John P. Davis, secretary of the Joint Committee on National Recovery, asked Sol A Rosenblatt Complain ce and Enforcement Director of the NRA to dismiss two of his Arkansas agents for violation of well-established NRA rule that name or identity of any com plainant be not exposed to the persons or company complained against. The two agents whose dismissal is asked for aiding in the intimidation of complaining Negro garment workers at Forest City, Arkansas are Brooks Hayes and C. M. Meusel of the Labor Compliance Personnel of Arkan sas. Mr. Davis’s demand was accom panied by an affidavit signed by one of the Negro workers, Mrs. Lea Duncan, that the agents per mitted her testimony to be taken in the presence of Ed Ash, repre senting the Maid-Well Compnay and Attorney S. H. Mann, his lawyer. Mrs. Duncan testified j that other colored women, former employees of the company tried to avoid paying them the NRA wage scale, were also subjected to sharp questioning by the com pany’s attorney and the NRA agents, in violation of the above mentioned rule. “The case of Mrs. Duncan is but typical of the treatment ac corded more than sixty-five other complainants by these NRA of ficials,” Mr. Davis wrote Mr. Rosenblatt. “Further, affidavits furnished by me to the NRA have been made available to Messrs. Ash and Mann. With informa tion secured from these affidavits, the respondent and their agents have sought to intimidate nearly all of the affiants into signing statements in repudiation of their affidavits. I have good reason to state that Messrs. Hayes and Meusel were well aware that such use would be made of these affi davits. They acted in total disre gard of the fiduciary relationship they bore both to these workers and to NRA. As duly authorized representa tives of these workers and on be half of the Joint Committee on National Recovery I wish to ask the immediate dismissal of Messrs. Hayes and Meusel." Air.

Recital By Madame Frances E. Motin First A. M. E. Church. Kansas City, Kansas. By R A. Adams Kansas Cit}% Kansas. May 17.— Magnificent, marvelous, incomparable are some of the terms used to describe the Grand Dramatic Recital at A. M. E. Church, Thursday night. The pro gram ran the whole gamut from Dun bar’s “Encouragement” to Shake speare's Macbeth and Julius Caesar. The partic.pants were “raw recruits” of only four weeks training by Ma dame Frances E. Motin, declared by the New Orleans Daily Times to be the best dramatic artiste the Negro race has produced. This woman pioneer and veteran in her line, reminds one of Madame Ern estine Schumann-Heink, the marve lous musical artist who is still an at traction in spite of advanced age. Madame Motin is the only Negro graduate of the Alberta Magnus Uni versity of Dramatic Art, of Los An gelesj from which school she has the much coveted degree of Bachelor of. Histrionics. A product of Kansas, educated in the public schools of To peka, Kansas and Kansas State Nor mal at Manhattn, th;e wonderful wo mal at Manhatten, this wonderful wo man has taught dramatics in Tuskee gee Institute; Western University, Kansas City; Lincoln Institute, Jeffer son City, Missouri. Madame Motin has conducted dra matic recitals in all of the leading cities of America, including Boston, New York, Chicago, Kansas City, In dianapolis and Los Angeles. She has received many medals of honor, one of the most highly prized being presented by the Y. M. C. A. of Indianapolis. A distinguished honor was her ap pointment to represent the states of ! Missouri and Kansas at the National j Negro Educational Congress held in Denver, Colorado, a few years ago. All Kansas City is urging a repetition of this marvelous recital Congressman Fish Says Deport Families For Color of Eyes Washington, D. C. — (CNA)—Ham ilton Fish, Jr., representative from 'New York, informed a New York City delegation that as far as he was con cerned “you can deport aliens for the color of their eyes’*. His statement was seen by many as having direct bearing on the attempt of the New lork City relief adminis tration to “voluntar.ly” deport West Indian and other foreign born families now on relief rolls The delegation visited Washington to petition congressmen to vote against the proposed Alien and Sedi ; tion bills now pending in Congress The visit was sponsored by the New York City Committee of the American League Against War and Fascism.
