DR.. MOTION PLEADS FOR
MUTUAL COOPERATION
BETWEEN TWO RACES

MONTGOMERY Ala, Jan. 1.-Mu-
tual understanding between the races
and frank discussion of the prob
lens confronting the white and black
races was urged by DR.. Robert r.,
Motion, principal Of the Tuskegee in
stitute, in an address here today, de-
livered at the Sixtieth Emancipation
celebration. He was greeted by one
of the largest colored audiences ever
assembled in the city. The celebration
was held at Old Ship church.
The platform of race relations en-
phasized by DIR. Motion was heartily
indorsed by Dr. j. w. Abercrombie,
state superintendent of education;
and he commended the negro race
upon the progress made in the past
SO years. Mr.. Motion spoke on the
subject Freedom" declaring that his
subject was not on physical free
DOM but mental freedom" and en-
phasized frankness, understanding
and sympathetic cooperation as es-
sentials of harmonious relationship
between the races.
The speaker declared there must be
an understanding between the races
produced by sympathetic co-opera-
ton in the solution OF these problems
and an understanding based upon ao-
solute justice in dealing, individually
and racially, with each other"
DR.. Motion declared that the negro
race in doing its part toward at
taining mental freedom. must recog-
rize its shortcomings; must empha-
size to the white man 1.-The fact the
criminal element of our race rep
resents small minority and that we
do not condone crime in any form
and that we do not like to have the
whole race judged by and blamed for
the conduct of a few individuals who
miserably misrepresent our race
and that the negro race should not
be prejudiced toward the white race
on account of the misgivings of a few
whites who do not represent the
general thought and attitude of their
race"
He declared that the position which
the Anglo-Saxon race holds is due
to character and not to the color of
his skin and that the black people
can be just as thrifty, as honest. as
successful, as reliable and as God
fearing as any people.
He mentioned 4 number of condi-
lions existing among the negroes,
which could be remedied by frank
discussion of such conditions between
the races. In concluding Or. Motion
said:
THE white man and the negro
have been placed down here together
to develop the possibilities of this
section. The inrerdependence of the
two races cannot be denied, there
fore, let us work together sympa-
thetically that this section and ma
ton may be what you and L want
it to be and what God intended it to

FIDDLER FOR FUN
ON NE " YEARS EVE
"CoId Gray Dawn" Finds Rev.
eIers of Night Before With
Aching Heads Despite
Dry Law
By Associated Press

NEW YORK. Jan. New Workers
who danced and drank away the old
year. today paid the divers terms
dictated by the fiddlers.
1T was a "cold gray dawn" fo-
everybody. with downpour of rain
and a whistling wind. And there
were not a few persons, despite the
laws and all that, who awakened
with aching heads and tastes in their
mouths like green persimmons.
Others greeted the day with sour
faces and creaky joints caused by
hours spent on the none too COM
Portable hunks of jails. These per-
sons had been too reckless in the
display of pocket TASKS filled with
the liquid in which they had PLAN
ned to drown the sorrows of 1922. ?
Agents XIII JOY ss :
Even though there We're drinkers
along the Great White Way, who
weren't caught. prohibition enforce
ment agents killed all the Joy thar
might have been. 1t. was only in the
tucked away places that jewellers fol-
lowed their bent without molesta-
ton.
For in all of the better known and
even the smaller places of the Broad
way district lynx-eyed prohibition en-
forcement agents and policemen
watched for TASKS and bottles. In
some 1000 resorts the enforcement.
agents worked.
There were only 12s prohibition law
arrests, 10 by federal agents and SO
by the police. About 200 gallons OF
1iquor were taken from Al establish
ments.
IT,. C. Yellowly. federal director of
prohibition enforcement for New
York state, declared that the result
Of his staff's work was more than
satisfactory" He said he believed
his warning that violators would be
jailed had prevented much law vio-
lation.
Many Released on Bail
His warning to owners of resorts
that they would be closed should
they be caught dispensing liquor, re-
suited in closing of more than a
dozen large places at 8 o'clock last
night, he added.
Most of those arrested were re-
jury action. Fines of $40 and up
were imposed on a few drinkers who
pleaded guilty.
Some of the cabaret managers,
while not bold enough to dispense
liquor from their own stores, if they
had any, provided, as best they could,
for the protection of their flask
toting patrons.
The ruse of one ingenious man
ager was effective-for a spell. The
jazz band played one piece to numer-
Gus encores and during the chorus
the lights were dimmed.
The enforcement agents finally got
suspicious and arrested two men

ADJUSTMENTS
AUST TONY" AT LOEW'S
IS FINE PHOTOPLAY

The real star of the Loew bill for
this half is Tony" Tom Mix's horse.
The photoplay, Just Tony" is as
fine an example of horse sense as
one could ask, while the photography
and scenery are excellent. The plot
is sketchy, but combined with Mx's
ability and his horses, one doesn't
mind that. The vaudeville Is above
the average and thoroughly pleasing.
No. l, De Alma, with q banjo
which he knows how to use and he
doesn't make the mistake of trying
to sing. He plays and satisfies
his audience with his art. A bow.
No. 2, Fred and Elsie Burke. in
a patter act which is mostly "hokum"
and pleased the house accordingly.
Fred is good, but the lady just
misses bong that. Her manners are
exaggerated and her choice of cos
tunes poor One bow.
No. 8, Bert and Nina Wainwrlghts.
Here are two real actors, evidently
of the old school. who have decided
that they may be wrong and are
building a new act accordingly. They
open with a comedy skit which Is
funny and work into musical act
which is good. They work hard and
are appreciative. His voice is good
and she Is a fair pianist. The best
act on the bill and for wonder
the audience appreciated at
No. 4, Faber and King. The lady.
is good looking. very, and wears at
least one costume to prove 1t. Their
comedy is good, delivery excellent.

nary aerial act which served to hold
the house. One bow.
