Dear Sir:
An effort is being made to help
solve the race problem in the south
amicably by aiding the colored people
in buying up all or nearly all of the
farming lands by whole counties and
parishes wherever the whites will sell
and permit them to enjoy the freedom
they are legally entitled to. During
the twenty a | spent in Natchez
and Vidalia practicing and teaching
law and civil government. northern
capitalists deposited large sums Of
money in Brittons and Koontz bank
at my disposal without security to buy
lands for colored people, and I bought
several thousand acres in Coucordia
Parish, La. for them for sale in small
farms on long time.
I have travelled extensively in the
south investigating the race problem
and talked and correspondent with
many leaders of both races on the
solution Of the problem and l think
the method advocated in the book will
meet with approval. The book con
tains a historic sketch of the colored
race from the advent of Ham in Afri-
"a down to date, which shows the
greatness of the race in the past and
its wonderful progress in the U. S.
in the last fifty years, to aid in solving
the problem.
The book contains an excellent let.
ter from the President of Maharry,
on the success of the doctors of that
school and fine write ups of presidents
of our greatest colored colleges and
letters from U. S. Senators and other
prominent men and explains how to
get money to buy plantations for sub
division into farms. but as some assur.
ance that the colored people in the
south will cooperate, l have undertake
on to gather 200 advance orders for

Penalty for Illenal Strike.

An order for payment of a penalty
of $50 with costs was the substance of
Mr.. Justice EdmuudS' decision in a re-
served judgment under the industrial
arbitration ACT of New South Wales, in
connection with an Illegal strike of
certain members of the Union of Piano
Frame Molders and Stove Makers EN-
ployees. The union was ordered to
pay $50, the maximum fine being
$500.
Mr.. Justice Edmunds pointed out
that while The piecework molders
were admittedly a very turbulent Sec
ton the union officials. when they had
failed to prevent an illegal strike, had
taken no steps to condemn it nor to
prevent their own officers from TAX
ing part in it. As the element Of in

The opening of the new addition at
Seth and Topping by Mr.. H. B. Allen
has created an era of home buying
among the Colored people of this city
that is unprecedented. Why should a
man continue to pay rent all his life
when by an initial payment of $500
or $1,000 he can come in possession OF
a home that will be his on the same
terms and at no greater cost han he
pays in rent. Become a home owner

Stealing First Some Job
Harry Davis Succeeded

Philadelphia, Oct. 24.-Th queer
est play known to baseball was
pulled off by Harry Davis, the first
sacker of the Philadelphia Athletics.
Players often steal second base,
but few steal first base; yet that is
what David did, and here is how he
did it:
Dave Fultz, the crack baserunner
of the American League, was on
third base and Davis on first.
With the motion of the pitchers
arm Davis started for second, at
tempting to draw a throw from the
catcher, so that Fultz could score.
The catcher, however, refused to try
for Davis, and he was given credit
for a stolen base.
On the next ball Davis started
back toward first base, and the catch
er lost his head, thinking that Davis
thought there were three outs, and
snapped the ball down to first base
in rapid style.
With the motion of the catcher's
army, Fultz, who was watching the
play from third base, at once hit for
home, and the first sacker, seeing
Dave headed for the plate, made
no attempt to tag Davis, but re-
turned the throw in order to catch
Fultz, but the throw was too late
to catch Fultz, and Davis rested on
first base once more. This is the
only time known to the game that
a player has ever stolen first base.

SMITH COMPLETES
LINEUP FOR BIG BATTLE
ATMERCERSBURG TOMORROW

Harry Fat" Ellinger with his $50
pounds of avoirdupois will be the
boy to plug the hole left in the line
by the injury last Saturday to Cap
tain "Haps" Frank. Fat" has play
ed bang-up game this week, and
outdistanced his opponents for the
line position. Coach Smith has
shifted Guard Comfort to the tackle
position left by the Tech captain,
and Ellinger will be placed at a
guard with Hoffsommer as the other
guard.
Comfort will have as his mate
on the other side of the line the
regular tackle, Johnny Arnold. The
regular center, Smith, will start the
game. With this rearrangement, the
line will be veritable stone wall.
On the wings will be Snaps" Eman-
uel and Zip" Malick, or Brooks.
Zip" developed a charley horse
prior to the opening of the season,
and has not been right since. Coach
Smith now thinks that the speed boy
is now in condition, and the fastest
quarter miller in the institution will
tear down the field on the kick off
Saturday afternoon. Books will be
in reserve in either the end or for
u backfield position.
No Fear For Baclxfield
With the line doing it's duty, there
will be no fear for the backfield.
Buddy" Lingle, Carl Beck, Tony
Wilsbach and Garrett are a quartet
that are hard to be beaten in High
school ranks. Mercersburg will be
on the lookout for Carl Beck whose
reputation is well known at Mer-
cersburg. But there will be three
other lads almost as clever whom
Mercersburg will have to stop. Wills
bach hits the line harder than any
player Tech has ever had. Lingle
is different type of player, squirm-
ing through the smallest holes that
are made in the line. He has a
quick turn and with splendid log
work is the hardest 145-pound play
er to down. Carl Beck's f1ashy, open
field running has never been equal
ed in Harrisburg. AS an all-around
athlete, he is in class by himself.
The college that gets Beck next year
will have a prize, for he can adapt
himself to any kind of athletics.
No game has ever attracted SO
much attention as has the Mercers-

Contest Is Saturday Night
Feature

Indoor sports with dancing are
proving a big success in Harrisburg
1t offers an interesting entertain
ment for one evening. To date IIar-
risburg has had the best kind of
volleyball, and there is more to
come. Real thrillers are promised
tomorrow night when the Zemo Pa
troll team plays the Hanover aggre-
cation.
This game is the first of a series
of three to decide the championship
of two counties. The games starts
at SIS. A two-hour dance program
follows. Lovers of this sport in Har-
risburg are now a big army. There
are also at least 20 teams anxious
to get a chance at Zembo Patrol.
Their chance will come later.
Interest in this game is not only
strong in Harrisburg. In York, Han
over and Lancaster there is much
gossip about the championship series
to start tomorrow. At least $50
rooters from Hanover and York will
be on hand for this game. One sec
tion of seats will be reserved for the
visitors.
Because of the York county visi-
tors the dance the local management
has arranged a special dance pro-

a 12-piece orchestra. This game and
dance and all others will be for the
public. The management is anxious

Yankees Start Plans to
Bolster Up Ball Team

New York, Oct. 24.-The first step
toward Strengthening the Yankees
for the 1920 campaign was taken
when it was announced by Colonel
T. L. Huston that Benny Geiser, an
outfielder, has been signed. Geiser
has a pretentious record as a semi
professional player. 1t is planned to
take him South for the Yankees
spring training trip.
Geiser is an all-around player, but
is best adapted to the outfield. He
started in baseball as a pitcher, and
subsequently tried every other posi-
ton in the lineup. to settle down
eventually as a fiychaser. Last year
he was the leading player in the
Shipyards League. He led at bat
ting, going through the season ct
a ALB clip. He was a member of
the Doyney Shipyard team and aid
ed in many of his teams victories.
Geiser is 23 years old and has had
considerable experience with local
semi-professional clubs previous to
his connection with the shipyurds
outfit.

Edison Juniors to Play
Game With Sunbury High

The inclement weather interfered
with the field practice of the Edison
football team yesterday. Coach Mil
Ter took the opportunity to give the
squad a good blackboard talk in one
of the class rooms. The team re-
ceived instructions in offensive and
defensive tactics. Most of the plays
that will be used in the Sunbury
game were outlined.
Thursday morning Manager Ros-
well Lyons had the good fortune to
schedule a game with the Sunbury
High school team for Saturday aft
ernoon at Sunbury. The open date
caused by rearrangement of the
schedule has thus been filed. Ex-
cept for one date that has not been
definitely settled the schedule is COM
plete and will be announced in it's
entirety early next week. The man
ager is arranging several games for
the second team.
The Sunbury team is reported to
be a strong one. The practices this
week have improved the team work
of the boys and they should give
Sunbury q good game.
