Crowd Sees Lieut..

Parachute Jump

New York, May 4.-Fifty thousand
persons of both races crowded the
streets of Harlem to witness the para
chute jump of $500 feet from an air.
plane by Lieut.. Herbert Julian, Sun
day afternoon. Arrangements had
been made and Lieut.. Julian was to
have landed in the vacant lot at 139th
and 10th streets, between Seventh
and Lenox avenues, where a band and
committee awaited him.
Because of a stiff southern wind
Julian jumped from the plane at 10th
street. He landed unhurt on top of
building Mt Eighth avenue, where thou
sands had gathered to watch the land
ing. The crowds were so great that
several big plate glass windows were
smashed along Eighth avenue and
140th street.
After the landing the aviator was
carried to the Renaissance Casino,
where he addressed large audience
who awaited him. The English plane
from which Julian jumped was piloted
by Capt. Edison McVey, one of the few
licensed pilots of our race.

Houston, Tex, Boy
Joins Hero Ranks by
Saving White Boy
12-Year-Old Negro Plunges
Into White Oak Bayou
and Rescues Little Six
Year-Old.

Houston, TeXas.-Because Norman
Blackwell, 12-year-old Negro boy, who
lives at 1920 Holly street, had in him
the stuff of which heroes are made,
Jamie Quarles, 7-year-old white boy,
still is alive
Jamie was playing with several 9th
er white boys along White Oak bayou
at the foot of Holly street Tuesday,
April "a, at dusk. Suddenly he made
misstep and pitched headlong into
the waters. The children with him be-
came frightened and fled.
Their screams reached another
group of boys, Negroes, playing fur
ther up the hillside. But these could
not at first determine what was
wrong. Then Blackwell acted.
Tearing his coat from his back as he
ran, the colored boy reached the scene
as Jamie was going down for the third
time. He plunged into the water, still
far from warm, and with sure strokes
made for the drowning lad Grasping
him by the collar, he dragged him back
to safety.
Jamie's mother, who had been sum-
moned by her boys little comrades,
reached the bayou ,ink within a few
moments after Jamie had been saved.
Thanking the Negro youth for his
bravery, she declared:
II want Jamie to remember always
that he owes his life to your bravery.
If the time ever comes when he can
save another's life, want him to be
just as brave as you"
Jamie apparently was none the
worse for his close call, but his res
cuer did not escape so luckily. Be
cause of his exposure and the effort
involved in bringing the white boy
back to solid earth, young Blackwell
was under the care of n physician at
his home at 1920 Holly street.
The Negro youth is student at the
Booker L. Washington school.

Klan Called Sales
men of Hate in
Worlds Work for
May.

New York City, May an. A. A
G. p. Press Service.)-.Writing under
the title statesmen of Hate: The Ku
Klux Klan," Robert L. Duffus begins
in the May Worlds Work, New York
City, a series of articles exposing that
organization.
According to Mr.. Duffus, the Imper-
ial Wizard of the Kan, William JOS
eph Simmons, "kept his accounts care
lessly, wasted money in various ways,
and from a business mans point of
view was hopelessly incompetent"
The development of the Klan was due
to the efforts of Edgar Young Clarke,
the Imperial Kleagle and Mrs. Tyler,
who, according to Mr. Duffus, received
during fifteen months more than
$4,000 in profits.
One of the chief means of publicity
for the Ku Kux Klan was series of
articles appearing during January,
1921, in the New York Herald.
According to Mr.. Duffus, Emperor
control of the Klan is vested in Hiram
Wesley Evans, dentist from Dallas,
Texas, the center of the movement be-
ing regarded by many Klansmen as 'c-
ing Dallas, rather than Atlanta, Ge.

Negro in America
One Hundred
Years Ahead
South African Educator Is
Greatly Pleased With
Races Progress Here =
Sets Standard for World
Africa Offers Field of
Service for Trained Amer
lean Negroes.

Atlanta, Ga.-Special)- the
Negro in America is in every way a
hundred years ahead of the natives of
South Africa, is the statement of DR..
James Henderson, a noted educator
from that country, who is spending a
few months in America IN the study
of race relations and Negro education.
This is due, he said, to the fact that
the American Negro came much ear
lier into contact with Christian civil
ization and has had far greater oppor-
tunities for education and self-devel
opment. He was particularly i'm
pressed with the economic progress
which the race has made in this coun-
try, which he said was far beyond
anything he had expected.
DR.. Henderson has given his life to
the education of the natives of British
South Africa, having been for many
years principal of LOvedale Institute,
the great African Tuskegee, mission
ary institution with faculty of sixty
and a student body of 900. While in
Atlanta he visited a number of Negro
colleges and was greatly pleased with
them, commenting most favorably on
their fine equipment, competent and
devoted teachers and intelligent stu
dents A number of well-trained
ANCSIOts, It sultis uIC ICi-
dering fine service in Africa as teach
ers and social workers Wherever
they have been tried they have made
good. was his emphatic testimony. He
believes that the number of such work
ers will greatly increase and that in
this way the educated American Ne
gro is destined to make a great con-
tribution to Africa's development.
The good will work of the Interra-
cial Commission, of which he had
heard in Africa where its methods are
beginning to be adopted, interested DIR.
Henderson greatly. The problems of
race relations, he said, are much more
difficult there than here, and much
further from solution. 1t was his opin-
ion that the progress of the American
Negro is setting a new standard for
the world in the development of back
ward peoples.
From Atlanta DR.. Henderson went
to Tuskegee Institute.

Especial to THE COLORADO
STATESMAN) )-Seeking an opportun-
ity to bring about a better understand
ing between the Mexican people and
the colored Americans through the es-
tablishment of a lasting memorial to
the increasing friendship between the
two races, one of the most important
meetings that has ever been held be-
tween the two races was recently held
in the beautiful San Francisco Cafe in
Tia Juana, Mexico. Among those
present were Lie. j. InOcente Lugo,
Governor of Lower California; Louis
G. Beltram, Mayor of Ensenada; r. ID.

the sulphur springs in the Santa Clara
Valley, Lower California. The sani-
tarium is to be built in units costing
$4,000 per unit the first unit having
been subscribed by Mayor Louis q.

Mexican residents of the Ensenada dis
trict, and who will be asked to pur-
chase "bricks" at so cents each as
donation to assist in building this san
itarium which will be shared without
discrimination by all citizens of Mex
leo, regardless of race or color. Other
units will be secured by the Mexican
citizens at the solicitation of Mayor

syndicate of Los Angeles, and decided
to the Sanitorium Corporation, which
as an eleemosynary organization is
composed of colored, white and Mexi-
can personages, philanthropically in
clined, who are interested in promot-
ing a better feeling between the three
races throughout Mexico where the
Negro and other colored races are well
coined without prejudice.
An Ideal Location
Inc sulphur springs, hoteu W '"e

qualities, lie in the beautiful Santa
