DEFENDS THE NEGRO
Colored Pastor Holds Poverty Re
sponsible for the Races Crimes.

!. New York, July 20.-In sermon at the
Mt Talbot NJ E. church Rev. Horace Miller,
coIored minister, said:
II have devoted years of study to the ques-
ton and find that the negro is not BIZ
more brutal than the white man. Not 10
per cent OF the crimes charged up against the
colored man are due to him alone.
mo race needs higher education than
the negro He is becoming more criminal
because he cannot get work. II he does
get work the pay is such that it is not suf-
fcient to live on. If the suoth had given the
work, or even an honest half dollar, the
negroes would not flock to New York to be-
come criminals
'.Tne quickest way to solve the negro prob
lem is to employ him."

Paid Big Price for Automatic Cash
Registers.

Washington. July 20.-It has developed
that the total number of machines sup
piled to the postofflce department by the
fraudulent Automatic Cashier company
of Watertown, Wis, was 527.
The inspectors have evidence Of this, al
tho the present action of the grand jury
in Brooklyn in indicting George w. Beav-
ers is based on contract under which
$50 of the machines were supplied. The
cash registers We're sold openly In the
market thruout the country for 1925, while
the government paid $3.50 each. There
was slight difference in the construction
of the machines sold In the open market
and those sold to the government, but the
inspectors say this was trivial and that
the cost was insignificant.

the week ending August 25, says:
On the whole. the corn crop has
made favorable progress, especially
over the central and western portions
of the corn belt, the most decided ad-

lack of rain. which is also needed in

The Reliance Wins the
Second Spin Before

A Close Run That Might
Have Been Different.
The Shamrock iii a Very Fast
Yacht.

The second contest between the
American and British yachts for the
Americas cup, came of Tuesday, off
the Long Island and New Jersey
coast. 1t was over a triangular
course 10 miles to each stretch. The
Reliance got started first, and
gained on each stretch of the trian-
gle, winning by one minute and nine
teen seconds.
The Shamrock lost the nineteen
seconds by a mistake of her captain,
in maneuvering for the start. One
minute was, therefore, really, the
true time the Reliance really beat
her One minute in thirty miles, Is
a small advantage, and shows that
the yachts are very evenly matched

of both yachts was well grounded.
Three races are yet to be run, and
we would not be surprised If the
Shamrock won, one, two or three of
these races. The difference in their
actual speed is so small, that little
better seamanship, a slight accident,
or the advantage of a puff of wind
may determine the result.
