DRESIDENT COOLIDGE goes to
- church and here is word
Il picture of 1t: 1t is raining this
Sunday morning In Washington.
Yet the street near the Church of
the Presidents" as the old red brick
structure of the First Congregational
church is called, Is alive with bobbing
umbrellas and darting cabs. They are
expecting the presidential party, and
kept clear by three dripping police
men. Under the portico is a watchful
group of secret service men.
There is very little ceremony about
the Presidents entrance with Mrs.
Coolidge at the stroke of II. The
minister the Rev. Jason Noble Pierce,
is waiting in the pulpit. A compact
little group walks quickly up the
right aisle and stops at the fourth
pew from the trent.
The President steps aside. Mrs.
Coolidge enters. The President fol-
lows. They sit down and the congre-
cation promptly does the same. One
secret service man of the White
House staff, Col. Ed Startling, takes a
seat reserved for him directly behind
the President.
One among many-yet set apart
the figure of the President is seen to
be taller than that of the average
man. His thin, reddish hair, high
brow, ascetic lips, mark him again.

over musty records and newspaper

1ucted by house and senate.
If the statements of various sena-
tors and other persons interested in
the investigations are to be accepted,
there are more shadows in Washing

by Secretary Wilbur. In a letter to
Senator Hale of Maine, chairman of
the senate naval committee Mr.. VIII
bur declared mo leases or contracts

without the personal approval of the
secretary of the navy.
Referring to the Teapot Dome litiga-
tion now pending, Secretary Wilbur
said he would avoid Sin every way any
act or proceeding which will in any
way involve the rights of the govern
ment in such litigation and will avoid
any conduct which may in any way
interfere with the contentious ad-
vanced by the attorneys for the gov
ernment.
"No further leases will be made until
expressly authorized by congress-" he
continued, unless it appears to my
satisfaction that such leases are alb

ing of oil in the reserves by wells

further appears that such leases are
fully authorized by act of congress,
and in that event such leases will be
made only after they have been offered
for competitive bidding.

ment of the Interior, or the extent to

u. S. Leads World
in Sins, Declares
Official of Y.M.C.A.

Chicago, Feb. 27.-"The people OF
the United States are the worst sin
ners in the world" according to DR.
George Sherwood Eddy, international
secretary of the Young Mems Chris
tian Association, speaking before 1,5OO
students at Northwestern University
DIR. Eddy deprecated race prejudice,
the curbing of freedom by the Ku Klux
Klan and the control of one-third of
the entire Wealth of the country by
1SO men. He said the seeds of crook
edness and deceit were being sown in
many of the best colleges, and as a
result "the United States is undoubt-
edly leader in moral and cultural de-
graduation"
The speaker said he based his con
clusions upon his personal observa-
tions taken on a recent tour of Japan,
China, Russia and Germany, where the
student liberal movement is making
headway in the war against corrup-
ton and militarism.

Commission to Vir-

Welcomed
St. Croix Citizens in Large
Numbers Greet U. S.
Delegation

st. Croix, Virgin Islands, Feb. 90
(By A. n. PIN contrast with the
rather Indifferent reception accorded
to the members of the All-NegrO Com
mission recently appointed by the
President to investigate conditions in
the Virgin Islands on their arrival in
the island of ST. Thomas, the Com
mission was given a rousing welcome
on their visit to the Island of st.
CroiX.
The Commission arrived at Chris
tiansted, st. Croix. On the wharf to
receive them was an imposing gather
ing of citizens of the Island. Promi
nent in this group were the Dispatch
ing-Secretary, representing the Gov
ernment, the members of the Colonial
Council, Minister of the African
Methodist Episcopal Church, and Off
GERS and members of the st. Croix
Benevolent Society.
The members of the st. Croix Bene-
VIOLENT Society and of the A. NJ. f.
Sunday schools dressed in their re-
gala and carrying the banners of the
Society, Church and Sunday schools
marched in procession from the
church to the wharf led by the Native
Brass Band, Presiding Elder Robin
son, Deacon Bough and Mrs. r. G..
Barrow, District Superintendent of
the Sunday schools were at the head
of the procession.
After salutations were exchanged
between the Commission, the Govern
ment Secretary and the members of
the Colonial Council, the Ministers
and the District Superintendent of the
Sunday schools of the A. NJ. e. Church
were in turn introduced to the COM
mission by the Hon. Lawyer d. Ham
ilton Jackson, member of the Colonial
Council of st. CroiX.

FIGHT OVER LOUISIANA NEGRO
REPUBLICAN REOPENS BEHIND
SENATE'S SECRET VEIL
CHARGES of Political Deals and Trades and Ku Kux Klan
Affairs Are Hurled in Argument

Washington, Feb. 27.-Behind the
veil of official secrecy which cloaks
the Senate's executive business, the
fight over the nomination OF Walter
L. Cohen, Louisiana Negro Republican
leader, to be comptroller of customs at
New Orleans, was reopened today by
a move for reconsideration of the Sc
cret vote which rejected him.
Charges and counter charges of
deals and trades, political and other
wise; the effect on the Negro vote in
the northern states and the member
ship of the Ku Klux Klan in others,
figure in the unofficial reports of
what is going on while senators de-
cline to discuss executive affairs"
Reconsideration of Cohen's nomina-
tion comes in a motion filed by Sen
ator Shipstead, one of the Farmer-La-
Dor senators from Minnesota, after
conference with Senator La Toilette,
head of the Republican insurgent
group. The nomination was rejected
by almost a solid lineup of Democrats
strengthened by insurgent Repub-
licans.
When Senator Brookheart, Repub-
lican, Iowa, was asked today concern
ing an unofficial report of the execu-
tive session that his position against
Cohen had brought him support for
the craftsmanship of the special COM
mittee to investigate Attorney Cen
eral Daugherty, Senator Brookhart re-
piled that lie never discussed execu-
tive business, and was in favor of
abolishing executive sessions. He add
ed, 81 don't make deals with anybody"
The roll call on Cohen's rejection
has not been made public, and pend
ing resolution by Senator Jones, Re-
publican, of Washington, to put the
thing in the open by publishing the
votes, has threatened a new compli-
cation.
Democrats charge privately that Re
publicans fighting for Cohen's con
ffrmation are acting with regard to the
Negro vote in the northern states and
In turn the Republicans charge the
Democrats opposing Cohen with race
prejudice. There is another charge
that various senators not wishing to
become involved, absented themselves
at voting time.

American Negroes
Should Emphasize
Their Race Con-
sciOusness in Work.
ing out for Them
selves Problems of
Their Own" Express
ses Fannie Hurst

New York City, Feb. 20.-Fannie
Hurst, short story writer, thinks the
American Negro needs race conscious
ness. Speaking at the annual meet
ing of the Circle of Negro Relief, of
which she is a member of the board
of directors, Miss Hurst expressed
herself as follows:
at seems to me that in the Negro
problem here in this country the an
swer lies in emphasizing among col
ored people of America their race con-
ciousness-working out their own
problems for themselves. Now one of
America is the vote and one of the
most latent powers in the country is
the colored vote. AS a vote it is less
expressed probably than any force in
this country.
1.-THE colored vote, although 1 do
not know the statistics, is undoubt-
edly more important than the woman
vote, and yet we have not heard as
much about the Negro vote as we
have about the woman vote; but !
feel perfectly sure as 1 look at the
slightly awakening self-consciousness
of the American Negro that the i'm
portance of his vote is coming through
self-expression, by asking for what he
wants, and if he does not get it in
that way by demanding it, by thinking
about his politics, by knowing gener-
ally about his politics rather than by
being swayed by politics.
"There is no doubt that more and
more the creative influence, of the
American Negro is Efaking itself felt
in our national life as well as in the
industrial life where the Negro is also
taking his place. The Negro is also
taking his place in the arts and espe-
cially music, where Negro music heads
the list. Certainly the Negro is ex-
pressing himself in three different
ways in this country, but politically
he is still asleep.
POLITICALLY he is not getting his
rights and he is not going to get them
through us or other kindly disposed
or interested white people. He is go
ing to get what rightfully belong to
him through himself and by demand
ing proper health conditions, proper
housing conditions.
"I say to you, the Government of
the United States is yours. 1t is yours
to use and the plea that L bring here
tonight in these few minutes OF talk
is to use your Government, learn how
to vote intelligently. Use all power
to ask for Industrial, civic and social
health, and you will get health. ASK
for it through your vote"

Working Class Dis
tricts Hit by Chi
cagO Rent Increase

Chicago, ILL.,, Feb. 23.-Negroes on
the south side are going to be the
hardest hit by rent increases that will
be made May 1. Rents in all work
ing class districts will be sent soaring
above present outrageous high levels,
says the Tenants Protective League.
The League estimates that flats
renting for $50 a month in the near
south side colored districts will be
raised 100 per cent May l. Chicago
as whole will be asked to pay from
5 per cent to Is per cent month
more after the first of May.
Apartments renting from $75 to
s1OO a month will be raised from $40
TO SIS a month The highest rates of
Increase will be put over on the south
side. Speculation in property has been
general in that district, because of
the proposal to build subway on the
south side.
Renting agencies refuse to discuss
the possibility of rent increases.

Negro Teachers
Seek Equal Pay
i'm New Jersey
Declare That Discrimination
Against Them Will Break
Their Morale and
Hurt Children

New York City, Feb. 23.-Why
should the salary of the Negro teach
er be less than that of his white col
leagues when both have to observe
the same standards of performance
and make the same preparation
This is the question which the Or
ganization of Teachers of Colored
Children of the State of New Jersey
is circulating with the purpose of dis
closing that the lower pay in the
Counties of Salem, Cape May, Cum
berland and Monmouth is based on
racial grounds only and not on the
practical consideration of the teach
er's worth.
According to q resolution recently
passed by the organization, Negro
teachers in these four counties are
in many cases receiving from S1O0 to
5000 less annually than the white
teachers. This same resolution voices
the opinion that should this salary
preference continue the morale of the
teaching force will break down and
inflict an irreparable injury on school
children, who, according to the organi-
zation stand in most need of tutelage.
The second article of the resolution
says, "a lower salary schedule must
inevitably attract an inferior grade of
teacher to the colored school prevent
ing the colored school from maintain
ing an efficient standard; many of
New Jerseys school children are in
this manner denied equal educational
opportunities and the spirit of the
State Constitution is violated.

State Convention
to Favor Coolidge
Leaders Predict
of Party Har.
mony Seen on Eve of
Republican Meeting
at Springs

Denver, Feb. pa solid delega-
CATION of fifteen Coolidge supporters
will be selected by the Republican
state convention at Colorado Springs
on March IL, according TO the opinion
of Republican leaders from all parts
of the state.
Charles w. Waterman, Colorado
manager of the Coolidge pre-conven-
ton campaign, predicted today that
not only would the delegation to the
national convention be solid for the
president, but that the delegates to
the state convention also would be
practically unanimous in their opin-
ion.
Additional reports from all sec
tions,' Mr.. Waterman said, confirm
the early belief that Colorado Repub-
licans are convinced that the nomi-
nation and election of Calvin Cool
idge would be the best thing for the
nation. The Coolidge administration
has shown itself wise and fearless.
The peoples affairs are safe with
Coolidge; the people know he is
man whom they can trust. 1t is un-
thinkable that his own party would
fail to recognize the achievements, the
courage and the clear vision of the
man who now occupies the White
House."
Delegates Being Chosen
County conventions at which ap-
portionment is decided and delegates
TO the state convention selected are
being held throughout the state under
the call recently issued by the state
chairman. Two delegates to the ma
tional convention will be selected
from each of the states four congress
sional districts before the state con-
vention meets, leaving seven dele
gates-at-large to be chosen by the
state assemblage.
Besides selecting national dele
gates, the choice of a national COM
mitteeman will also be made on
March IL. Under the rules, the ma
tional committeeman is chosen by the
delegates to the national convention.
The state convention may, however
instruct the national delegates as to
the choice.
An augury of party success in the
fall election is seen in the complete
harmony which is apparent before
the state convention. Not a ripple
of discord was discernible during the
meeting of the state committee at
which the time and place of the state
convention was decided; and party
enthusiasm reached high pitch dur
ing the Lincoln day dinner, the larg-
est political gathering of its sort held
in the state in recent years.
Although several score have been
mentioned as prospective candidates
for places on the national delegation,
and a number of candidates for the
honor of representing Colorado Re
publicanism on the national commit
tee have been announced, there is
every indication that the process of
selection will be completely without
bitterness, and that all, regardless of
outcome, will be ready to work with
diligence and enthusiasm, for Repub-
lican victory next November.
