When Letter Reveals Love
For Husbands Brother

Discovered in an extraordinary love
triangle Mrs. Ollie Malone, 81 years
OF age, attempted to commit suicide at
her home, 1852 Vernon Avenue, early
Tuesday.
Mrs. Malone's act is said TO have
been prompted by her husbands dis
covery of an ardent letter she had
written to her husbands brother, John
Malone. She is said to have been
desperately in love with her brother
in-law and several times contemplated
suicide over the futility of her love for
him.
Her husband discovered the letter
she had written his brother Monday
night. He is said to have chided her
severely about about it. She broodsd
over the discovery throughout Mon

entered her breast just about the heart.
She was removed to the Fort Dear
born Hospital, where surgeons say
chances for her recovery are doubtful.

False Stories
It is no doubt natural, with such
intense interest being shown in The

candidates and friends of contestants
would attempt to discourage others by
circulating rumors more ingenious
than accurate. One hears all sorts OF
stories. But the tales that are heard
are so highly embellshed with frills
so utterly inconceivable, that their un-
truthfulness is apparent. The exag-
gerated stories are deserving of no
consideration, and the wise candidate
is too busy getting votes to listen to
them, let alone being influenced by
these wild reports

Candidates are reporting that they

After several unsuccessful efforts
to make a collection from Jack, Bot
toms attempted to make a garnish-
ment of his share of the receipts at
the Avenue Theatre, only to find that
Johnson had made an arrangement to
receive all his money in advance.
Bottoms then carried the action into
Indiana and seized Johnson's $4,000
Lafayette automobile, only to have
Mrs. Johnson step into the case and
swear that the automobile belonged
to her. At this juncture the Lafayette
Automobile Co. further complicated
matters by claiming the automobile
belonged to neither Jack nor his wife,
but was still the property of the com
pany, as it had not been paid for.
The court ruled that before Mrs.
johnson could take possession of the
automobile she must schedule an $4,000
real estate bond or a $500 cash bond,
in default of which the car still re-
mains in the custody of the auto COM
pany.
Determined not to be outwitted by
the willy puglist, Bottoms declares he
will follow Johnson into every state
where he appears with attachment
writs.
In the meantime he has instructed
his lawyer, Atty. VIM. E. Reilley to
ask the grand jury to indict johnson
on a charge of operating a con-
fidence game, alleging that he
obtained over $4,000 from Bottoms on
false pretense, inasmuch as he admits
that he obtained the money, but boasts
that it cannot be collected.

COIOred Candidates

Because of the Heavy Negro
Vote i'm Some Districts.

st. Louis, Mo-, June 30.-Colored
candidates for the August primaries
are more numerous this year than at
any time in the history of the city,
and they are aspiring for some fairly
representative places. This has come
to pass because they have been badly
deceived in the past in the house Of
their friends, and have learned the
said lesson that it is possible to trust
politicians too blindly. Among the
more prominent candidates are
Charles Turpin and Langston Harri-
son for Constable; Walthall Moore
for State Representative and DR.. C.
H. Powell for Committeeman of the
Sixth Ward. 1t is expected the col
ored voters will back most of them
solidly, and as their districts are hea-
Wy Negro sections, number of good
men ought to be nominated. The
Negro is beginning to do like others
take what he wants.

Colorado Gives Film
Enterprise Charter
Negro Film Company, with Cap

High Class Comedies.
ASSOCIATED Negro Press)


Denver, Colo, June 30.--A charter
was granted last week by the State
of Colorado to the Theatrical En-
terprises Incorporated, which pro-
poses to capitalize at two hundred
fifty thousand dollars (s250,000) and
to produce high grade comedy films
with all Negro cast for world trade.
1t is the idea of the Company to
take a similar position in connection
with the motion picture business that
Bert Williams took with relation to
musical comedy and vaudeville, pro-
ducing films that will be sought for
and exhibited by all classes of mo-
ton picture houses.
The popularity of Negro stars in
musical comedy and in vaudeville JUS
titles the opinion that high grade
of motion pictures designed to make
the public laugh, will find ready
market.
The Company expects to establish
its studio in Denver, Colorado, and to
produce and distribute it's pictures
from that point.

High Concern Shown
in Coming Election
of A. M. E. Bishops
ASSOCIATED Negro Press)

Atlanta, Ca, June 30.-Dr. Rich
ard Henry Singleton is regarded one
of the outstanding figures in the life
of the colored people of this city,
The recent announcement OF his can
didacy for a Bishopric of the great
African Methodist Episcopal church
has, therefore, aroused big bit of
interest among our people in this sec
ton of the country. This abiding in
terest does not appear to be confined
to any one class of the citizens of
Atlanta. With what seems to be of
one accord the Atlantans are giving
voice TO the desire that this distin-
guished churchman shall be elevated
to the sacred place of a membership
on the Bishops Board of the largest
and wealthiest religious organization
in this country, if not in the entire
world.
DR.. Singleton is very active in the
civic affairs of his people in this city
He is the president of the local
branch of the n. A. A. G. p; he is a
director OF the Great Southern Fire
Insurance Company, and also director
of several other large organizations.
He is also a Mason of high rank, an
Odd Fellow, and is highly connected
with the Pythians and the American
Woodmen.
His chances for election to the
Bishops bench at the next General
Conference are regarded here as ex-

Lord Northcife Fears White
E%S, Is Decreasing in Power
Noted BritOn Journalist Believes
Darker Races will soon End
Caucasian Domination.
(Associated Negro Press)

London, England, June 30.-Lon-
don is greatly alarmed by the state
ment of Lord Northcliffe, the noted
journalist, that the white race is in
danger of being submurged by the
large hordes of the dark races of the
world. He affects to have DISCOVERIES
that the darker races are being fast
nodded into a union that will seek,
in the quite near future, the total
humiliation of the white races.
He calls it an international ques-
ton. He AYERS that the birth rate
among the whites is decreasing to an
alarming extent. This situation he
declares to be deplorable. Pointing
out that the more Intelligent men,
bers of the darker races are at pre-
sent busy circulating stories concern
ing the deterioration of the whites
and are advising their brethren that
now is the time to make ready for
the delivery of a blow that will end
white domination of the world.
While Lord Northcliffe's alarms
are not seriously regarded by the Of
fetal heads of the Empire, the rank
and files of the people, many places.
are giving his theories thoughtful
consideration.
Many are also declaring that
Northcliffe's pronouncements are the
vaporings of a man who has passed
the prime of his intellectual powers.
1t is pointed out that there are we'll
founded rumors afloat that he viii
soon relinquish the reins of the man
agement of his chain of newspapers

New York, June 80.-Speaking at
the thirteenth annual conference of

vancement of Colored People in New
ark, N. j., Daniel Kelly, white Texan
from Waco, told dramatic story of
the burning to death of innocent Race
men by a mob in Kirvin. Tex, May

Three Negroes were burned at the
stake in Kirvin, Tex, May for the
alleged offense of brutally assaulting
and killing 17-year old white girl,
Eula Ausley. A week later l per-
sonally investigated this affair and
found the facts to be as follows:
From the thicket where the girls
body was found foot tracks led to the
Prowells home and the two Prov
ellis boys disappeared while the posse
was hunting for the perpetrators of
the murder. After the burning of the
NSSIOtS lht pSsS "ShN ~
rested and later released when they
explained that they had been making
bran mash and ii was not ascer-
tained whether the bran mash was
there or not. John King said he was
certain that white men were impli-
Gated in the crime.
"Of the three Negroes burned, the
sheriff said that one was innocent,
in his opinion, and the evidence
shows that not more than three could
have done the act, although five were
mobbed to death for it.
THE sentiment of the people gen.
orally was that an example had been
made. It was or small consequence
whether the Negroes were guilty or
innocent"

made his investigation for the Ma
tional Association for the Advance
