New York. N. Y. Sept. 21.-At the
New York National Baptist church,
125th Street and Fifth Avenue, the
first gun against Garveylsm was fired
by former high officials Of the Uni

ton They declared Marcus Garvey

States j. w. H. Eason. recently de-
posed as Leader of American Ne
groes' on charges preferred by Gar
Carney as more of an egotist than the
Kaiser
THE Kaiser was guilty of saying.

and his utterances were applauded.
Seated on the platform w.re those
who until the recent convention of
the Universal Negro Improvement As
sociation held high positions under
Carney They were introduced to the
as being active in the new anti
Garvey movement, which will be wag-
ed under the official title of the Uni
versal Negro Alliance.
The principal address was made by
Eason, who has been expelled from
the Garvey organization for ninety
nine years. Now Eason has become
head of the Universal Negro AL

ment Other denominations have also
announced intentions of enlisting in
the fight against Garveyism, ac-
cording to Eason.
In his address the former Leader
of American Negroes" branded Mar
Gus Garvey as the rocker of the
Black Star Line, stating that a cap
tain of one of the ships had told
him Garvey's attitude had been most
hurtful because he could not be cap
tain on sea as well as on land.
The speaker further charged that
as the result of Garvey's propaganda
the Negro race in the United States
had lost its rating. as the policies of
the President General of the Univer- !
sal Negro Improvement Association
had engendered race hatred instead of
bringing better relations between the |
races.

(By A. N. P.)

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Sept 21.-
HezelSiah Brooks. Negro gardener and
fruit grower of Miami, Fla, recently
announced the successful conclusion
of his attempts to produce a new va
riety of mango. 1t is claimed that the
result is destined to fill a gap in the
fruit calender of the Southern sec-
the fact as claimed by Brooks that
the fruit ripens between November and
January. a period during which the
mango is not to be found in that mar
ket
The Brooks Mango is similar to the
in appearance and textures,
but is declared to be superior to that
variety in flavor. Some experts nro-
nounce 1t cross of the Mulgoba and
have been presented to eminent au-
thorities or horticulture. and some
have been sent to the Department of
Agriculture at Washington.

WASHINGTON, Sept 21.-Lively in

Senate on the House resolution au-

GRAFTON of the bill finally went over
Senator Watson OF Georgia scored
the loan proposal. Among other
things. he said that there were &c.
600 civilized Negroes In Liberia and
he would rather give the $4,000. 900
to Negroes In Alabama or Georgia
than to them. This amount, he said
meant 800 each for every Negro man.

Mr. Watson held that, before loaning

Mr.. Norris charged that in 1920

an insignificant amount had been

The meeting was presided over by
