I'm, Not A
Bomber''-J.
Gray Lucas

AT meeting of the civic committee OF
the Appomatox Club. Sunday afternoon,
Attorney J. Gray Lucas took the floor
and declared that he had been unjustly
charged with being implicated in re-
cent South Side bombings.
Attorney Lucas declared that the
suspicion against him was on account OF
a speech he once made before the HYDE
Park Property Owners Association,
which was misquoted by daily paper
The mistake was corrected on the fol
lowing day, he said.
He said he was willing to hand in his
resignation from the club if any member
could produce any evidence to show that
he was in any way in sympathy with the
bombing.

MARCUS GARVEl

NEW YORK CITY, Feb. rs
Deep depression was thrown into the
ranks OF the Universal Negro I'm
provement Association, and the Black
Star Line stood on the brink OF col
lapse when ii was learned here late
Thursday that Marcus Garvey, NOV
ing spirit in the back TO Africa
movement and three of his aids werc
indicated by a federal grand jury on
charges involving scheme to swindie
the public in stock for sale i'll tn
Black Star Steamship Line.
Those indicated with Garyey were
Ellie Garcia. George Tobias, and Or
iando M. Thompson, directors of thc
Steamship Line.
Indictment a Surprise
The Indictment came as a sharp sur
prise to many of the followers OF Gar
vey, who placed confidence in their
leaders claim that the charges had
been trumped up against him, and
would fall fiat when presented before
grand jury
Charged With Defrsuding
The specific charge on which Gar
vey was indicted was the use OF the
United States mails for fraudulent
purposes, chief among them cited
being the sale OF tickets on the ghost
ship, "Phillis Wheatley.' 1t was
charged that Garvey sold and adver-
tised through the mails for sale pas
sage to Africa on this boat, which
records prove near existed
The complaint also alleges that Gar
yey, by false pretenses and promises,
induced, solicited and procured vari-
Gus persons to pay and transmit to
him money and property for the pur-
chase of stock in the Black Star Line.
and for memberships in the Universal
Negro Improvement Association.
Garvey Blames Employees
In answering the charges, Garyey
declared that while he was absent
touring the West Indies and Central
America employees of the corpora
ton mismanaged the affairs OF the
Black Star Line to the exteG. that
complete decentralization and disorgan-
ization ensued He also declared that
money which should have been used
for the purchase OF the boat was used
for other purposes.
Garvey declares that while he was
i'll the West Indies and Central Amer
ica, he was confident that such a boat
as the Phyllis Wheatley was tied up at
the docks in New York, and ready to
sail for Africa"

CHAPTER x.

The voice was strange to Gramont,
yet he had a vague recollection Of
having at some time heard it before.
1t was jaunty and impudent voice,
very self-assured-yet it bore a
startled and uneasy note, as though
the speaker had just come unaware
upon the man whom he addressed,
"Howdy, sheriff." it said. Didn't
see you in there-what you dom so
far away from Houma, eh?"
"Why, I've been looking over the
place around here" responded an
other voice, which was dry and grim.
Il know you, Ben Chacherre, and I
think I'll take you along with me. Just
come from New Orleans, did you?"
ME? Take me?" The voice of
Chacherre shrilled up suddenly in
alarm. Look here, sheriff, it wasn't
me done it! It was Gramont-"
There came silence. Not a sound
broke the stiffness of the late after
noon. : Il
|, Gramont, listening. lay bewildered
{ and breathless.. Ben Chacherre come
here? Gramont knew nothing Of any
tie between Jachin Fell and Cha
cherre; he could only lie in the grass
and wonder at the mans presence.
| What place was 1t that the sheriff
of Hound had been looking over? And
what was 1t that he, Gramont, was
supposed to have done? 49,
Confused and wondering, Gramont
waited. And, as he waited, he caught
a soft sound from the marshy
ground beside him-a faint "plop" as
though some object had fallen close
q by on the wet grass. Al the moment
he paid no heed to this sound, for
again the uncanny silence had fallen.
Listening, Gramont fancied that he
caught slow, stealthy footsteps-amfd

Suddenly he started violently. An
abrupt crashing Of feet among the
bushes, an outbreak of voices, had
sounded not far away-just the other
side of the boundary fence. He was
wakened from his dreams, and started
tc rise. Then he relaxed his muscles
and lay quiet, establishment Selling

toned in a voice that was strange to
him. <, vfa7 sg9,4

CURED MONARCH OF AvARlCE
Power Of Turning Everything He
Touched Into Gold Quickly PaiIsd
on King Midas.

1t was because King Midas helped
a drunken companion Of Bacchus to
sober up that he received the power
of turning everything into gold at his
touch. Bacchus had offered to grant
Midas anything he asked, and the
king wished this unpleasant power
upon himself, according to Ovid.
Midas enjoyed himself immensely
at first, turning twigs, apples, stones
and clods of earth into gold. But the
trouble began as soon as he sat down
to eat. The bread he touched turned
to gold and defied his teeth. The wine
flowed down his throat as liquid
gold.
According to an embelllshed YER
sion of the myth, the browning mis-
fortune wrought by Midas curse In
blessings guise was when, in the act
of caressing his little daughter, he
turned the child into golden
statue.
Bacchus had been aware that the
gift was anything but desirable
SO, believing Midas cured Of avarice,
he sent the king to wash away the
power In the fountainhead Of the
River Pactolus. AS result of his
bath, the sands Of that river remain
golden to this day.

Many were the strange stories told
Of the eagle during antiquity. 1t was
believed to be the messenger and
spirit Of Jupiter. One of these stories,
and perhaps the most peculiar of all
o9 them, is the following, told by
Pllny. the great naturalist Of ancient
Rome:
As soon as her fledgllngs can fly the
mother eagle takes her young ones
and bids them sit upon a limb in full
view OF the setting sun. If one Of
them ever so much as blinks or waters
at the eyes the mother falls upon II
and kills It, deeming 1t too degenerate
end weak to propagate the species.
