of renewed activity on the part of the

official whitewash. The investigation
at that time, which was instigated by
the Jews and Catholics was dropped
it is said when officials of the order
stated that they had no feeling
against the Jews or Catholics, but
that their sole aim was white su-
premacy."
The initiation was held on a river
a few miles north west of Chicago,
and thousands of cars are said to have
been in the parade The Imperial

GAMBLING and VICE
SAID To BE RAMPANT
in CHI BLACK BELT
(By The Associated Negro Press)

(By The Associated Negro Press)
Chicago, June 16.-Gambling and
vice are again rampant in the sec
ond ward, the BLACK belt" of this
city. The daily papers are Maturing
certain resorts, cabarets, and temples
of chance, where it is claimed par
ticularly vicious conditions exist.
Many persons who profess to know,
state that conditions are no worse in
the colored district than in many
other sections of the city, although
ronage in these places comes from
the white element who seek the black
belt to do their Summing. Thirty
fifth street, the center of the district,
has developed into a gay white way
with brilliantly lighted jazz palaces
dotting the corners and with autos
choking the street until early hours
of the day. The daily papers and the
reform element charge the politicians
who control the colored vote with us
ing their political power solely to
protect vice, with terrible effect upon
both the white and colored youth, of
the city. Gambling according to the
daily papers is operated on an un-
heard of scale, one place being cited
at 31st and Indiana in a building
where colored doctors, lawyers and
business men have offices. Here
play has no limit, literally tens of
thouasnds of dollars changing hands
nightly. Dan Johnson, an undertaken,
is said to be the representative of the
political clique which control the
games in the district. A peculiar fea-
ture of the situation is the rather
helpless attitude of the better element
of people perhaps for want of leader
ship and the ineffectiveness of the
pulpit of the city.

negro AUDIENCE
Termed "DARKIES'
BY White SPEAKER
Especial to The Tribune)

lOpecldl 10 Inc Tr1bune)
Greensboro, N. c., June 16.-Boast-
ing of spending more money for
teachers training schools than any
other state in the union, Governor
Cameron Morrison in the next breath
threw damper on his large audience
at the graduating exercises of A. &
T. College, by referring to colored
people as "darkies."
The audience had just applauded the
governors statement that the coun-
ties are spending more than $1,000
600 for school houses for colored chill
dren and the state more than $500. 900
for education
God bless the Negro preachers of
colored, who pointed your race to
higher things; your teachers have
lived fine lives and am thankful for
them,' said the governor.
You must urge the colored people
Ito vision of justice. When 1 prac-
ticed law, aside from a white woman.
| would rather have had darkey eli
ent than a white man, for it is often
easier to get sympathy of the court
for darky."
Murmur In Audience
A murmur in the audience caused
the governor to feel the insult he had
offered and throughout the rest of his
address he used the word "colored."
He said that North Carolina is the
best state in which you could live un-
less you want office or political power
and if you want these you had better
move elsewhere for you will never
get it here.
Here you have justice and every
opportunity, except policital opportun-
ity.. If you must enter politics, move
elsewhere you can do that and nothing
eles. In North Carolina we are work
ing out the best civilization on earth.
I'VE recognize in you friend and
loyal countryman and this state is
doing more for you than anywhere
else. In North Carolina we are work
pie and they ought to have the best
technical schools. A state school for
the morally delinquent is on its way
for only recently appointed board
for such an institution with two color
ed men on the board Recognizing
some distinction in possibilities of race,
we are driving at the same thing in
the colored schools as in the white
schools
Il hereby dedicate to the task of
making the school all that it should
be for you and will meet the trustees
soon
AS if replying to the governor,
D. L. Lerrill, class orator, in his fare
we'll oration said:
Il defy any man to tell me that out
of this thirteen the president of the
United States will not come. We
know what the past has brought, but
wat the future has concealed in her
bosom for the class of '22 does not
yet appear!"

RLACK MAN PLACED
ON HONOR roll after
81 YEARS. SERVICE

(By The Associated Negro Press)
Harrisburg, Pa, June 16.-A re-
markable record for service and fl
deity was closed here when William
H. Coslow, Partner Number One, Har-
risburg Station, was placed on the
Roll of Honor" on May 1, 1922, with
a record of thirty-four years of con-
tinuous service with the Pennsylvania
Railroad System. Henry, as he was
known to the travelling public has been
a resident of Harrisburg for 63 years.
He was born on January 81, 1857, and
his family moved to Harrisburg when
he was but two year of age.
He started to work for the Pennsyl-
vania on November "a, 1887, and his
ability proven throughout the years
was such that when the magnificent
new station at Harrisburg was opened,
he was placed in charge of the red
caps" with the honorary title of Por-
ter Number One.
In a recent issue of the Altoona
Tribune, Colonel Henry Shoemaker
spoke editorially about Henry Co.'S

career at Harrisburg station as fol

Patrons of the Pennsylvania rail-
road station at Harrisburg were great

Coslow, red cap porter Number One

of the present month. During rs
years of faithful service this old-time
employee has endeared himself to
hosts of travellers by his unvarying
courtesy and marked efficiency.
Members of the old families at
Harrisburg will miss him, as he has
waited on three generations in many
instances, and travellers have grown
up from childhood to look for his gen.
ial presence to put them aboard the
right trains, and straighten out the
complicated intracacies of travel. AS
one traveller remarked, 1t is pity
that such persons have to get old;
men like Coslow ought not to be sub
ject to limits of service or age, but
should be immortal like all worthy
institutions"
In all these years Number One
has been the friend of the travelling
public and by his courtesy. patience,
and tact. made many complicated stu

and made travel bed of roses. His
example is notable one and no doubt
it was reflected to fellow workers,
white and black resulting in further
ing that spirit of politeness and give
and take, so noticeable among the
employees of Americas greatest rail-
road. We hope that Porter Coslow
will enjoy his well-earned rest to the
fullest extent, but his legion of friends
among the travelling public will not
forget him."
Henry Coslow retires from the ac-
tive service of the Pennsylvania rail
road with a host of friends in all
walks of life. He is personally known
to many of the members of the state
Legislature, political leaders of the
state and the travelling public who use
Harrisburg station as a transfer point
ION trips over the Pennsylvania rail-
road system. He will continue to live
in the city of Harrisburg, Of which
he says he is very proud. His earn
ings have been carefully invested and
he retires to life of leisure and in
dependence.
