Washington, D. c., Aug. 25.-Organ-
ization of an international Council OF
Women of the Dark Races was effect
ed at an all-day meeting here of rep
resentatives from Africa, Haiti, West
Indies, Ceylon and number of ma
tional organizations in the United
States. The Council has as it's object
the economic, social and political well
fare of the women of all the Dark
Races.
Need for such an organization as es-
tablished was emphasized by the rep
resentatives, who declared that the
many handicaps, barriers and embar-
rassments from which the women of
these races suffer because of color
prejudice can and must be overcome
by Il powerful machine working in
tensively along definite lines.
The following officers were elected:
Mrs Booker r. Washington, Tuskegee,
Ala, president; Mrs. Addie w. Hun
ton, New York, first vice president
Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, Washing
ton, d. c., second vice president; Mrs.

Australians Work
to Make Their
Land White

The report that the Australian gov
ernment has signed an agreement with
England, the object being to increase
by ten millions the white population of
Australia, is creating a great deal of
interest among the white folks. Aus
tralia, today, has but 100000 inhab-
itants, despite the fact that in area it
is bigger than the United States of
America. The fear that it may some
day be gobbled by the Japanese caused
the action, and it is said that Austria
liza will give the right sort of immi-
grants one-third of their passage fare
free, credit for the balance and other
inducements to come and help make
Australia real "white mans" coun-
try. No mention is made of the fact
that the original Australians are of the
darkest hue and no effort has been
made to develop them into useful
group through education or otherwise.
Australia, despite the agreement, may
some day be a ''yellow mans country"
All concerned can rest assured that
the Japs have not been and are not
now asleep as far as Australia is con-
cerned.

New York, Aug. 25.-Nine libel suits,
agpregating S75O.OOO. were filed in the
Supreme Court yesterday by Marcus
Garvey against newspapers and Negro
speakers. He charged them with pub
fishing or making slanderous state
ments concerning him. The defendants
are: The New York Times, 100000;
New York Call, 100000; Amsterdam
News, $4,000; New York News, S5O,-
900; Robert r. Bagnell 100000;
Chandler Owen, 100000 and $4,000
respectively William Pickens, $4,000,
and A. Philip Randolph, $4,000.
The suits against the New York
Times and the New York Call grew
out of articles appearing Monday in
which Bagnall and Randolph were
quoted Defamatory statements re-
garding his character We're made, Gar
vey AYERS. The allegations in the 9th
er suits are along similar lines.
Garvey, as president of the Black
Star Line, was examined in supple
mentary proceedings yesterday by at
torneys for the Pan Union Company,

against the steamship line some time
ago.
The Pan Union Company shipped
carload of Green River whiskey to Ha-
vana on the Black Star steamship Var
mouth before the ban against the eN-
portation of whiskey went into effect
Jan. 16, 1920. The Pan Union Com
pany charged the crew of the Var
mouth imbibed so deeply of the whis-
key that they disabled the boat and
she had to put back to port, where the
rest of the whiskey was seized. They
sued and were awarded judgment.
Garvey maintains the steamship
company has no money to it. and of
the three vessels it was organized to
operate, he said one is on the beach
at Antilla, Cuba, another an excursion
vessel, is a wreck somewhere in New
York Harbor," and the third, the Var
mouth, was sold for S1,S00 to satisfy
claims OF almost 100000.

IT HE outstanding business successes
j of the Negro in the past have
been achieved in the supplying of
some service to the public. There are
number of business men of the race
who believe that for Negro business
to continue to develop, business men
of the race must go in more for the
manufacturing and selling of commod-
tiles as well as service. One of the
men in Harlem who believes this is
Harry II. Pace, who in the past year
and half has made an outstanding
success as a pioneer in the manufac-
turing field. The Pace Phonograph
Corporation is such u radical depart
ure from the beaten path of Negro
business that it is interesting to know
its history.
Mr.. Pace, who for many years was
cashier of what is now the largest Ne
gro bank in the country, the Solvent
Savings Bank of Memphis, Tenn, and
later one of the organizers of the
Standard Life Insurance Company of
Atlanta, came to New York, about five
years ago, and entered the music pub
fishing business as the partner of w.
c. Handy of blues" fame. During his
experience as a music publisher, Mr..
Pace became convinced that Negro
singers and musicians were being dis
criminated against by the white pho
nograph companies.
This fact was made evident to him
when he endeavored to interest sew
eral of the large companies in the
voice of colored girl. They laughed
at him and thought he was crazy.
Finally, however, he persuaded Il
small company to record this girls
voice. She was an overnight success,
and made them so much money that
they were practically saved from
bankruptcy by the sale of her records.
After this every recording manager in
New York was glad to get colored
"blues" singers.
Opening a New Field.
This demonstration of public de-
mand convinced Mr.. Pace that there
was a field for Negroes in this line,
and that complete program by real
Negro artists released on records ev-
cry month would be acceptable to the
public in sufficient quantities to make
n paying business. Accordingly, he or
ganiZed the Pace Phonograph Cor
poration less than two years ago, and
began the sale of records, made by
colored singers and musicians eXclu-
sively, in the basement of his home.
The venture proved so successful
that in few months the company was
able to acquire a four-story building
near the corner of 135th Street and
Seventh Avenue, and few months
ago to purchase n complete record
making plant at Long Island City,
where they now operate recording
a plating department, a
plant where the company's Ia
bells and catalogues are printed, and
record press room with capacity of
5000 records daily.
There are thirty people employed in
its factory and office, with payroll
of 81 200 weekly. 1t is giving employ
ment to a large number of singers and
to whom it paid last year
over $4,000. In addition, 1t has
brought out on records numerous
songs of Negro composers and publish

The Cards had the grandest chance
in the world to win the National
League Pennant this year. The Giants
were hanging around almost inviting
a defeat when the Cards turned over.
Many og the sages blame the col
LAPSE of the team on Branch Hickey,
the theory expert and blackboard man
ager of the club.
They claim around the circuit that
Hickey disrupted his pitching staff
that he burdened his club with SO
many signals and trick plays that they
were at sea most of the time.
1t is a cineh that something blasted
good pitching staff. All during the
hottest part of the midseason battle,
Rickev used three and four pitchers III
every game. He also many funny
move when he benched Jack Fournier
a good first baseman, and put In his
place Bottomly, rookie, whose ms
plays lost number of critical games
1t also was a funny move to use rockies
in the outfield in important series.
Under Bill McKechine, the Pitts
burgh Pirates have been given new
life. The Pirates have looked like pen
nant winners for several years, Du'
something was always wrong with the
team and it looks on the surface like
the trouble rested with the manage
mcnt. If the Pirates do not win the
1922 pennant, they will be the ranking
favorite to cop in 1928.
In the American League, the 1anks
Browns and Tigers no doubt will fight
it out all the way with the White Sox
as the dark horse. The Yanks should
be better in 1928, the Browns ought to
be improved with the chance that their
young pitchers will be better ana IL
Ty Cobb gets his hands on one more
good winning pitcher, Detroit viii take
a lot of beating before they lose.

Fans are wondering where McGraw
will place Jimmy O'Connell, his SIS,
900 beauty from the Pacific coast. 1t
is apparently tire Giant leaders pur-
pose to play him in the outfield, be
cause he had the San Francisco club
switch him from first base and give
hi ma year in the outfield.
McGraw often has said that it takes
at least one year on the bench to make
a real Giant player, but it is incOn-
ceivable that he would allow a 5000
article to hide within the shadows of
the dugout.
To get place in the outfield, O'Con-
nell will have to displace Irish Meusel,
Pep Young, Casey Stengel or Bill Gun
ningham. Stengel, of course, was a
freak this season and he could be dis
placed but many critics from the Pa
eific coast consider Cunningham more
valuable player than O'Connell.
After what the team did this year,
the experts hardly will consider the
St. Louis Cards seriously in the future
unless some changes are made in the

CENTERFIELD
PLAYERS FOUND
BY CLUB OWNERS
Witt and Stengel Prove To
Be Good Men on Field;
| Farrell Compares
United Press Leased Wire
Rv HENRY T. FARRELL

NEW YORK, Sept. 20.-Both New
York bali clubs made a blind grab in
the bag this year and pulled out a
centerfielder.
John McGraw had TO have some one
to take the place of George Burns and
when his expensive rookie, Ralph Shin
ners, went wrong he had to call on
Casey Stengel, who had simply been
the jester of the club.
The outfield of the Yanks has been
notably punk for several years. Last
winter the club owners tried to buy
every centerfielder in the league with
the exception of Cobb and Speaker
and they failed. Finally Connie Mack
offered Whitley Witt for the waiver
price and the Yanks grabbed him.
Both Stengel and Witt filled the
hole on the two clubs. Both have
played good bah all season and their
work in the early part Of the race did
much to keep thelr clubs up in the
fight.
Witt can get around faster than
Stengel, but he is not as dangerous
with the stick as the Giant centerfield-
er. Stengel can break up a ball game
any time with a long clout while
Wits greatest proficiency is bunting.
Witt is a better base runner than
Stengel also.
..Baby DOLL jacobson, the Brown
eenterfielder, slipped little bit this
year. He batted in streaks and he was
benched several times during the
season in the hope that Il rest would
bring back his eve. The Doll is
slower than Stengel or Witt on the
bases and in the field.
Bill Cunningham, the utility man of
the Giants, is a fine young ball player
and he may get into the series al
though he usually works only against
left-handers.
Cunningham is much faster than
Stengel, Witt or jacobson and is first
class baQ player. Day in and day out,
however, Witt perhaps is the best play
er with Jacobson third.

According to n statement made by

fronted with the necessity of controlling
Youthful drivers Of automobiles who
persist in operating their ears without
drivers licenses, and mt excessive
speeds Complaints are made daily by
citizens that the youthful drivers are
not only a nuisance, but actually en-
danger life and property by driving
their ears recklessly.
Acting on Instructions from the clty
trustees. the chief has ordered his men
to bring into court all youthful violators
of the traffic laws and determineC
effort will be made to stop reckless
driving. Chief Matlock said the prin-
cipal fault lies with the parents or
Youngsters in allowing them to drive
ears without first providing them with
an operator license and cautioning
them against recklessness.
Judge V. n. Thompson stated that
where minors are involved in accidents
resulting from traffic violations, the
parents can be held responsible and
urges all to see that the law is com
piled with before allowing the young
sters TO drive n car. 'Offenders
brought into this court for violation Qf
the traffic laws will be denied the right
to drive ear if such action is neeeS-
sary in order to put stop to reckless

NEW YORK, Sep1. -H.-Tegardless
of what success the New York Giants
have in the 1922 pennant race, the
team will have to be strengthened to
do as good or better next season.
Looking at the 1928 season this far
in advance, it will take a real team to
bea the Cubs, the Reds and the Pr
ates next year and McGraw hasn t a
whale of team, unless he gets some
pitchers this winter.
Perhaps Jock Scott will get his arm
