A Spelling Lesson.

Once upon a time there was a stub
born student who refused to learn to
spell.
But always the teacher pleaded with
the student and often said:
"You will suffer some great incon-
venience, if not actual tragedy, some
time, by reason of this refusal of
yours to study photography"
Yet still the student was obdurate,
and said "blah."
One day, after the obdurate student
had grown to manhood, he poisoned
himself eating oysters in "Orgust."
And when the teacher, who had now
grown old and toothless teaching or
biography, heard this, she said:
"Uh, huh! l told him so!"-From
Life.

DEMOCRATIC MAYOR
JOHN F. HYLAN WILL
NOT TOLERATE KLAN
Especial to The Tribune)

NEW YORK, Dec 15-Following the
opening of Ku Klux Klan headquarters
in this city by the Rev. Mr.. Oscar
Haywood of Calvary church, Mayor
Hylan, Democrat, issued instructions
to his Commissioner of Police, Richard
Enright, to drive the Klan out of New
York City. Mayor Hylan's letter to
his Commissioner of Police follows:
"The Ku Klux Klan, or any secret
organization of similar character and
purpose, is a menace to our city, state
and nation. The people of the city of
New York will not tolerate their ex-
istence within the confines of our
metropolis. Do not leave a stone un-
turned to ferret out these despicable,
disloyal persons who are attempting
to organize a society, the aims and
purposes of which are of such a char
acter that were they to prevail, the
foundation of our country would be
destroyed
81 noticed in yesterdays Morning
World that Rev. DR.. John Roach
Straton and Rev. Oscor Haywood, D.
D., of Calvary Baptist Church, are al
legged to be connected in some way
with this secret organization. If this
is so, little police attention along
this line would not be out of order.
GO after the Ku Klux Klan and do
not let them get a foothold in New
York City 1t is to be regretted that
the men of cloth, regardless of their
denomination, would have anything to
do with an organization whose purpose
is as vile as that of the Ku Klux Klan.
These people can be dealt with under
the conspiracy provision of the penal
law of the State of New York

ARIZONA SENATORS
HELPED To KILL,THE
LIBERIAN LOAN BILL
preston News service)

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec Is
When the special session of congress
convened several close observers of
public affairs expressed serious
doubt if any legislation for the bene-
fit of Negroes would have chance of
even favorable consideration, although
some important measures before con
gress had the endorsement of the ad-
ministration forces.
The administration sustained its
first defeat in congress since the re-
cent election, when the senate last
Wednesday recommitted the $5,OO0,-
900 Liberian loan bill to the senate fl
nance committee by vote of AZ to
SS. The motion to recommit was
made by Senator Simmons, a demo
crat from North Carolina The bill
was sent back without instructions.
A motion previously made by Sena-
tor McNary, republican of Oregon, to
ACCOMAuiI InC Ulll Will luSlIuCIlOnS
was beaten by narrow margin of 3S
to "a votes. In the vote on the Sim.
mons motion number of republicans
swung against the bill with the demo
Gratis.
Thirteen republicans voted to re
commit the bill: Cameron, Arizona
Capper, Kansas; Fernald, Maine; Her.
raid, Oklahoma; Jones, Washington;
Ladd, North Dakota; La Toilette, Wis
consin; McNary, Oregon; Nicholson
Colorado; Norris, Nebraska; Poindex
ter, Washington; Sutherland, West
Virginia, and Watson, Indiano The
democratic side voted solidly for the
Simmons motion
1t is claimed that this action virtual
ly kills the Liberian loan bill by bury
ing it indefinitely in the committee.

NEW YORK, Dec. 15-Open warfare
on the Ku Klux Klan by the Independ-
ent Order Of Birth Abraham, with a
membership of 100000 throughout the
United States, was declared last night
by Judge Aaron ]. Levy, Grand Mas

Justice of the Municipal Court of the

he hoped to enlist other Jewish fra

Ku Klux, and eventually he suggest
ed that Jewish and all other fraternal
bodies opposed to the Klan should be
merged into one big organization to
wage relentless warfare on the Klan.
His decision to ask the Independent
Order of Birth Abraham to help in
making an end of the Klan was
reached after reading newspaper ac-
counts of how school children were be-

doctrines of the Klan and distribute
Ku Klux literature throughout the city.

CERTAIN CLASS OF

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Dec. 15-The
movements, statements and activities
of no other race man are more close
ly watched than those of Marcus Gar
vey, provisional president of Africa
and president general of the Universal
Negro improvement Association Mr..
Garvey is scheduled to attend the
three-day conference of the U. N. /. A.
in this city ON Thursday, Friday and
Saturday
1t is reported that when local Off
GERS of the U. ~ l. A. sought to have
the mayor of Pittsburgh welcome the
convention and Mr.. Garvey to the
city, considerable comment was made
in this connection, as it is generally
known that Mayor Magee is not alto
gether in sympathy with Mr. Garvey's
movement and the public announce
ment by the U. N. l. A. officials
greatly incensed the Mayor as they
used his name in connection with the
coming of the convention without his
permission
According to reports, representa-
tives of the Mayor of Pittsburgh have
indicated that they will advise Mayor
Magee not to have anything to do with
the Garvey convention, as Mr.. Garvey
is under indictment in New York State
on charges of misusing funds entrust-
ed to him by millions of Negroes
Throughout the country, and for that
treason they are sure Mayor Magee will
not recognize the convention.
1t is said that the u N l. A. has
over $500 members in the Pittsburgh
district, and elaborate plans have been
made for a grand convention. Mr.
Garvey will make several addresses
during his stay in this city explaining
the purpose and intent of his organiza-
tion
Many of the leading Negroes of
Pittsburgh are opposed to the Garvey
movement because Mr.. Garvey and his
organizers are not Americans, but
West Indians who are stirring up un-
rest among Negroes in the United
States. These persons express a seri-
Gus doubt as to Mr.. Garvey's sincerity
in the program he outlines, and point
to the outlandish misuse of funds and
general business mismanagement as
grounds for their doubts.
However, the more ignorant and
working classes in this section have
rallied to the Garvey movement and
are supporting it whole-heartedly.

faint OF AFRICAN
BLOOD in HER VIENS
CAUSES SEPARATION
Especial to The Tribunel

NEW YORK, Dec 15-Alleging that
his wife had forgotten to supply him
with her family genealogical tree, and
had, therefore, kept from him her
knowledge that she possessed Negro
blood, one John Stovall, white insur-
ance broker, of 2261 Andrews Ave-,
Bronx, has broken into the newspaper
columns by seeking before Supreme
Court Justice Faber of Brooklyn to
have his marriage annulled.
The Stovalls have been married and
living together for year. They were
evidently fairly successful in their
negotiation of the rocky road of mat
rimony until old ubiquitous Mother-in-
law sprang the coup in the traditional
fight between sons wife and sons
mother, and handed Cupid the count
by her revelation that Mrs. Stoyall
was of Negro blood. Mrs Stovall, who
is only 20 years old, takes the position
through her attorney, that as nobody
ndu ever queStlOneo ner as to her
race ties, she had felt no obligation
to boast of her possession of the blood
of the Pharaohs
Justice Faber directed that the case
be tried next month. In the mean
time, speculation is rife as to whether
the courts could stand the burden if
every wife and every husband with
the least drop Of Negro blood in their
veins were sued for separation. 1t is
said thousands of light-colored peo-
pie are at present passing" and that
somewhere between one and two mil
lions apparently white people have
colored blood in their veins

The letter follows:
"You may be sure that any state

RINGING APPEAL IS
ISSUED TO BAPTISTS
OF NORTH AMERICA
Washington, D. c.,
November 20, 1922.

To the Colored Baptists of America:
Dear Brethren:-At the last meeting
of the General Baptist Convention of
the District of Columbia, it was decid-
ed to establish a college for the liter
ary and theological training of young
people of our race to be built in or
near the District of Columbia, and the
matter of locating site and promot-
ing the proposition generally was the
great question before us. While pray
erfully considering the matter, Provi
dence opened a way through the
Washington Development Corporation,
Mr.. Samuel H. Thompson, President.
This Corporation, upon learning of
our purpose, through it's representa-
tives donated to us a most beautiful
site in the center of Douglass Park,
valued at about $S5,OOO.0O Douglass
Park is beautiful subdivision located
on the Virginia side of the Potomac
River overlooking Washington.
With the full cooperation of the
Baptists in the District of Columbia
and throughout the country it is quite
possible for the financial aid of this
corporation to reach $1OO,OO0.OO to-
ward our enterprise.
1t will be of further interest to know
that the white Baptists of the country
now have plans under, way for the es-
tablishment of National Baptist Uni
versity in Washington. 1t is evident
that the interests of the colored Bap-
lists of the country should be no less
provided for, and because of the un-
usual opportunity for a central Bap-
tist school located at the Nations
Capital that will become nationwide
in its extent and influence There
fore, we are soliciting the cooperation
of the Baptists throughout the country
in raising funds for the erection Of
suitable buildings for the Washington
Baptist Seminary, plans for which will
be explained to you more fully later.
Yours for the Denomination,
