anese, Hindus and other orientals was
defended by Professor Franz Boas OF
Columbia University, a noted anthro-

lures which he is delivering at the
summer session of the University of
California.
''All this feeling out here in Cali
fornia against the intermarriage of
Americans and Japanese, as we'll as
between whites and other oriental
peoples, is simply foolish sentiment

Silence is Infamous.

Possibly the worst thing permitted
to go on and work injury to Negroes,
has been the silence of Negro speak

West about Negroes raping white
women. By all means they should

Jewish Girl Outraged and crucified
BY Russians.
Berlln-One of the most revolving
crimes in the dark history of Russia
was reported here in special dispatch
rom st. Petersburg, telling of three
russian youths having outraged and
:hen crucified the daughter of a Door
Jewish fisherman in Stavrapol, on the
Volga.
After outraging the young girl, the
dispatch declares, the three youths
dragged her to cemetery, where they
nailed her to cross above one of
the graves. Nails were driven through
her hands and feet and even through
her eyes. The three murderers were
arrested, but their friends in the town
released them and they escaped, it is
asserted.

What Segregation Means
Rev Quincy Ewing Southern Caucasian and Reared in
Mississippi, Shows the Policy of South is to Keen
the AfroAmercan in Inferior Status

why is 1t that in every Southern
city no Negro is allowed to witness a
dramatic performance, or a baseball
game, from first-class seat? In
every large city, there are hundreds of
Negroes who would gladly paw for
first-class seats at the theatre and the
baseball game, were they permitted to.
1t can hardly be that permission is
withheld because theatres and base
ball games are so well attended bv
half the population that tirst-class
seats could not be furnished for the
other half. AS matter of fact, thea
tre-audltOriumS and baseball grand.
stands are seldom crowded; the rule
is, not all frst-class seats occupied,
but many vacant Surely as simple as
moving from seat to seat a makeshift
screen in street-car, would it be to
set apart a certain number of seats
in the dress-circle of every theatre.
and In the grandstand of every base
ball park, for Negro patrons. The rea-
son why this is not done, is perfectly
obvious; it would be intolerable to the
average Southern man or woman, to
sit through the hours of a theatrical
performance or baseball game on
terms of equal accommodation with
Negroes, even with a screen between.
Negroes would look out of place, out
OF status, in the dress circle or the
grandstand; their place, signifving
their status, is the peanut-gaIlerv. or
the bleachers

He pulled out his pockets sugges-
lively. Not postage stamp. They'll
put us off at he next station. And"
with gland in the little mirror be-
tween the two windows, 81 shouldn't
blame them a Bit" He was unshaven,
he was wearing the suit substituted
for his own; and Florence, sartorially,
was not much better off.
She smiled, blushed, stood up, and
turned her back to him. Ther she sat
down Tain. In her hand she held a
small dilapidated roll of banknotes.
Il had them with me when they
abducted me- she said. Besides,
this ring is worth something"
Thank the Lord" he exclaimed,
relievedly.
So there was nothing more to do
but be happy; and happy they were.
They were quite oblivious to the pecu-
liar interest they aroused among the
other passengers. This unshaven
young man, in his ragged coat and
soiled jersey; this beautiful young
girl, in wrinkled homespun, her
glorious blonde hairy awry; and the
way they looked at each other during
those lulls in conversation peculiar
to lovers the world over, impressed
the other passengers with the idea
that something very unusual had hap
pened to these two.
The Pullman conductor was not es.
pecially polite; but money was money
and the stockholders, waiting for their
dividends, made it impossible for him
to reject it. The regular conductor
paid them no more attention than to
grumble over changing a $40 bill.
So, while these two were hurrying
on to New York, the plotters were
hurrying east to meet them. The two
trains met and stopped at the same
station about eighty miles from New
York. The princess, accompanied by
VroSn who kept well in the back
gr6.,nd entered the car occupied by
the two castaways.
In the mirror at the rear of the car
Norton happened to cast an idle
glance, and he saw the princess.
Vroon, however, escaped his eye.
, BE careful, Florence" he said. "The
princess is in the car. The game be-
gins again. Pretend that you suspect
nothing. Pretty quick work on their
part. And that's all the more reason
why we should play the comedy well.
Here she comes. She will recognize
you, throw her arms around you, and

Have YOU another horse and a

What's your hurry?"

What is to become of me?" asked
the princess.

answered briefly. 81 am going to find

But get my horse first. My name

ton, where did you yet those clothes :?
Did you find her and rescue her? What
newspaper story you'll be able to
make out of it ALL Now, tell me Just
what happened" She sat down on
the arm of Florence's chair. The girl
had steeled her nerves against the
touch of her. And yet she was beauti-
full! How could any one so beautiful
be wicked?

Of steel against steel. A low wall of
horror rose and died away as the car
careened over on it's side. The three
were rendered unconscious and were
huddled together on the floor, under
the uprooted chairs.
Vroon had escaped with only}a slight
cut on the hand from flying glass. He
climbed over the chairs and passen-
gers with single object in view. He
saw that all three he was interested
in were insensible. He quickly exam
med them and saw that they had not
