ELEVATOR OPERATOR
NVENTS MOUSE TRAP
WORTH SMALL FORTUNE
(Associated Negro Press)

New York City, N. Y, Jan. 2O.-
Allen Dixon, Negro, fifty-seven
years old, who drives the elevator in
an apartment store in Nashville,
Tenn, seems to be in fair way to
change his vehicle for a motor car
and perhaps a chauffeur as result
of little imagination.
To most persons bailing wire is
simply wire, but to Dixon, looking at
all the rusty wire going to waste from
bales of hay shipped into Nashville,
rusty wire was rat traps. He pulled
some wire off bale, experimental
with it-and got a patent.
Hart and Hart are negotiating for
permission to sell the patent right
Mr.. Hardy admits that Dixon will
probably make a lot of money He is
said to have received already an Of
fer of $4,000 in cash, or $4,000 down
and cents royalty on every trap sold
Dixon said he patented his trap last
July. Just to show how much rats
liked it, he said, he entered two in a
competition at the Commercial Club
in Nashville, and in one night caught
twenty-six rats in the big one and
fifteen in the small one. Only one
other trap entered caught any rats,
and that got only one.
Dixon said he had other inventions
that ought to pay him better than this
one. He did not know whether he
would keep his job after he got his
money, but he would have to do some
thing for he had worked too long to
be able to quit.

ATTORNEY GENERAL
DOUGHERTY PROVES
GREAT PHILOSOPHER
(Associated Negro Press)

Washington, D. c., JAM 20-In ad-
dition to being masterful politician,
first class lawyer and a good fellow,
Attorney General Dougherty has
proved himself to be philosopher.
This is evidenced in his issuance re-
Gently of several Wholesome proverbs,
seven of which follow:
''If man does the right thing, he
will have the help and approval of
those who know him and if he does
not do the right thing, he doesn't de-
serve it,"
"The world never turns against a
man until after he has turned against
the world, and it is never too late to
wake up"
"a man owes society, his country
and the world more than it owes him
and more than he can ever pay"
'If one has self-respect he will not
go far wrong"
'If one respects others he will do
them no injury, either in person or
property"
"In this country one man has the
same freedom and the same rights as
another"
Every man owes the same degree
of loyalty to his country and the same
obligation to society"
Attorney Daugherty concluded with:
Let us hold up our heads and be of
good cheer. Let us love God and be
grateful. Let us obey the laws of our
country and let us obey the ten com
mandments."

BILL TATE WRESTS
LAURELS FROM Wills
IN PORT. and fight
(Associated Negro Press)

Chicago, H., Jan. 20.-Bill Tate,
recognized Colored heavyweight cham
pion of the world and his manager,
Howard Carr, yesterday returned from
Portland, Oregon, where the local
fighter wrested the laurels from
Harry Wills last week.
The big fighter and his manager
found many offers awaiting them.
Portland promoters want Tate to
meet Fred Fulton early next month,
while New Orleans is anxious to re-
match Tate With Wills. Billy Haak
the Memphis promoter, wants to pit
Tate against some worthy opponent,
as does Jack Kanner of Denver, and
Promoter Boyle of Omaha. Carr's
promise to Gary promoters to show
Tate is holding up acceptance of any
one of the offers.
Carr was loud in his praise for the
fighter as result of the Portland
match.
"Tate won the title by winning the
first fight on a foul" Manager Carr
said. "The referee was honest in his
decision, but the crowd which had
expected to see an interesting mill,
was disappointed when the fight ter
minated in the first round.
Il was asked by the promoters, for
the good of the boxing game, to agree
to a second match. This l did and
Tate went into that fight with every
thing to lose and nothing to win.
Needless to state he made a great hit
with the crowd who received him
warmly as the Colored heavyweight
champion of the world.

FRENCH GENERAL IS
LOUD in HIS PRAISE
OF BLACK AMERICANS
ASSOCIATED Negro Press)

Paris, France, Jan. 20.-"An end
must be put to this absurd legend of
the inferiority of the black race. 1t
is based solely on the tradition of
slavery and is not at all flattering to
the white races"
So declares General Mangin, whose
utterance is the most authoritative
of those who have taken up advocacy
of the cause of the blacks, following
the winning of the Goncourt literary
prize by the Martinique writer, Rene
Maran.
Mangin is the great champion Of
the black army theory, holding that
only by training and arming her col
onial subjects can France redress the
balance in face of more populous
Germany. Their fighting value, he
proved in the war, for Manager"
Mangin's colonial army was always in
the thick of the French offensives.
The general gained his affection for
the Colored races during the 20 years
he spent in colonial military and ad-
ministrative commands. He is not
merely a soldier, but has considerable
competence in literary talent, which
gives weight to his remarks on cul-
ture among the Negro races.
There really is an intellectual elite
among the blacks, whom liberty has
introduced to our culture" he assert
ed in an interview. 'And experience
has demonstrated that this elite pos
sesses the ability to excel in every do
main of human activity"

MARCIIS GARVEY NOW
IN Tolls IF LAW. Held
ON SERIOUS Charge
ASSOCIATED Negro Press)

New York City, N. Y, Jan. 90
Marcus Garvey's heralded plans for
the colonization of Africa by means
of half dozen stock selling corpor-
ations caused his arrest on charges
of using the mails to defraud
This proved climax to a bizarre
career that lifted the Colored man
from obscurity to titles, hero worship,
and wealth. Provisional president of
the Republic of Africa" guiding
spirit of the Black Star line and other
organizations, he was hailed in Har-
lem as a wizard
Specifically Garvey is accused as
president of the Black Star line, of
advertising and selling passage to
Africa on a mythical vessel and that
he used the mails to defraud in dispos-
ing of stock in the Black Star line.

DEMOCRATIC MAYOR
REV WARDING BLACKS
FOR SUPPORT GIVEN
ASSOCIATED Negro Pressl

New York City,sN. Y, Jan. 90
The biggest appointment of an able
Colored citizen that has ever been
made by a New York mayor was that
of Ferdinand @. Morton to be civil
service commissioner of New York
City. The appointment was a partial
recognition of the tremendous black
vote which Mr. Morton as chief of the
united Colored democracy had led
into tammy hall at the last election
and secondly a deserved recognition
of one of the most able and popular
democrats regardless of race in New
York City.
The appointment of Morton was to
the place on the commission of the
three guardians of the civil service
held by Commissioner Killilea. The
commission now consists of Commits
sioners Kaplan, Morton and brennan,
the last named republican. His ap-
pointment means a great step forward
for the Colored citizens in New York
and larger place for them I'm the
city employe. 1t is generally believed
that Morton would have been named
a magistrate to succeed Judge Mar
cuso but the alternative was given
him after another was named as the
commission portfolio. Mr.. Morton was
born in Mississippi in 1882 and moved
with his family at an early age to
Washington where he attended and
graduated from the public and high
schools.
He entered Harvard College after
graduation and later finished Boston
University Law School. He came to
New York and entered actively in the
practice of law and plunged into
politics. His rise has been meteoric
and deserved.
1t is not known as to who will be
given Mr. Morton's place in the dis
trict attorneys office, but it is rum
ored that Attorney James McClendon
will be given one of the deputy assist
ants.
Alderman George w. Harris who
was given his certificate and sworn
in for his second term two weeks ago
has taken his seat in the front rank
of republicans at the Aldermanic
Chamber He was the recipient of
many congratulations.

PREACHER EDITOR
HAS UNIQUE ideas
ABOUT NEWSPA PAPERS
(Associated Negro Press)

Chicago, ILL.,, Jan. 20. = The Rev.
Charles Monroe Sheldon, Ga years old,
rosy, cordial, emphatic, lectured be-
fore the Medill School of Journalism
on the American newspaper as he
would have it. Twenty years ago, the
editor of the Topeka Daily Capital
gave Mr.. Sheldon an opportunity for
a week to make the Capital the kind
of newspaper he (the dominie)
thought Jesus would like. The ex-
pertinent aroused much talk from end
to end of the country. 1t did not es-
tablish any enduring precedent, nor
could it in so brief a time.
He talked to the Medilians along
the lines and in reminiscence of his
interesting experiment of twenty
years ago. There was in what he said
much practical sense and much that
for fallible and lively world seems
purely idyllic. The audience gave him
close heed for nearly an hour and a
half.
Here are detached specimen para.
graphs:
'The newspapers report a great
deal of crime. Well, the bible reports
a great deal of crime. But the papers
don't do it in the right way. The
Bibles way is right. To David's
adultery and murder it gives a few
lines, but to the prophets rebuke of
David's crimes it gives several pages.
"Same Important Now"
"That was important 1t would be
important now-not the morbid and
horrible details of the crime, to daily
pour the contents of the gutter into
your home, but the reason of the
crime and the rebuke, the reason of
the holdups, and the survey of social
conditions that cause them And all
that not in the remote and occasional
editorial, but emphatically, although
briefly, right under the brief account
of the crime.
Il am for the signed editorial. 1t
would add to the interest. l am for
the signed news article too 1t would
make the reporter more careful about
his facts and more choice about his

FARM CONFERENCE
CALLED BY HARDING
TO CONVENE MONDAY
ASSOCIATED Negro Press)

NASSOCldl6Q 1NeSIO II0SSJ
Washington, D. c., Jan. 20. - The
third notable conference which has
been called by the president assemblies
in Washington January %. This
conference will be composed of be-
tween 200 and 300 conferees repre-
senting the agricultural interests of
the country and interests closely af-
filiated with agriculture and depend
ent upon it.
President Harding issued the call
for this meeting after consultation
with Secretary of Agriculture Wal
lace has left the selection of the per
sonnel with Wallace The purpose of
the conference as indicated in the
presidents statement is two-fold 1t
will give immediate consideration to
the agricultural troubles, which are
very serious, even though they are
temporary, and which can be remedied
by quick and effective action. In ad-
dition to this it will take more de-
liberate survey of the great policies
affecting the industry of agriculture.
such as the coordination of the agri-
cultural, manufacturing and general
business interests, with a view to put
ting agriculture upon such a basis
that never again will it be confronted
with the distressing emergencies
which have all but rendered it pros
trate during the past IL to 1S months
In order that this may be done more
effectively, it is understood that the
personnel of the conference will in
clude not only members of farm or
CARNATIONS, commissioners of agricul-
ture, prominent farmers and stock
growers, but will also include repre-
senatives Of the packing industry,
implement manufacturers and deal
ers, bankers whose interests are To-
Gated largely in agricultural sections,
grain dealers. elevator men, railroads
and any other activity which comes in
close contact with the farming COM
munities and interests.
The president truly stated in his
call for the conference that the agri-
cultural depression which marked the
year just closed could not have been
avoided. But that fact does not indi-
cate that steps cannot be taken to re-
organize agriculture, SO to speak, in
order that similar conditions may
never occur again.
In calling the conference the presi-
dent has but followed his precedent
in calling the conference last year to
consider the problem of unemploy-
ment and his calling the conference
to discuss limitation of armaments
for the purpose of promoting world
peace and reducing the terrific bur-
dens of taxations. ave
Cooperation is the keynote of the
Harding administration, which is on
record as believing that more can be
accomplished by friendly counsel and
exchange of ideas than by any other
method. Whatever program this con-
ference decided upon will undoubted-
ly have the influence of the admins
tration and the congress back of it to
put it into effect.

METROPOLITAN ms,
DOES NOT ENCOURAGE
NEGRO INSURANCE RISK
Vice President, MIR. Woodward, Urges
Negroes To Organize Their
Own Companies

New York, Jan. 20.-That the Me-
tropolitan Life Insurance Company
does not encourage Negroes to take
out policies in their institution has
Just been disclosed by Mr.. Woodward,
vice president of the company, in an
interview with James H. Hubert, Ex-
ecutive Secretary of the New York
Urban League. 1t is said that Mr..
Woodward admitted that over IL per
cent of the company's policy holders
are colored; stating that to employ
colored agents would only stimulate
more business among the race which
is not desired.
"The law forces u.s." said Mr.. Wood
ward, ito give the same policies to
Negroes we gave to whites, while the
rating due to high mortality among
Negroes is almost twice as great =
Mr.. woodward did not hesitate to
urge that Negroes organize their own
companies instead of seeking policies
with his company.
This information was elected from
Mr.. Woodward when Jas. H. Hubert
OF the New York Urban League called
upon him and urged him to employ
Negro collectors in Negro neighbor
hoods.
Many Negroes throughout the coun-
try have taken offense at the state
ment by Mr.. Woodward and strike
is threatened.
