 Commissioner Classic made q state ment as soon as the hearing opened, declaring that he personally had no interest in the sugar business, but that his wife and members of her family owned and operated sugar planta- tion and mill. He contended that this circumstance did not bar him from participation in the case.
 Commissioner Costigan countered immediately with his protest, saying he was authorized to say that MT. Culbertson and Mr. Lewis joined in the challenge.
 Commenting Mir. Classic for his high sense of duty in stating the situ- ation, Chairman Marvin said the com mission in November had decided that it had no authority 10 disbar MT. Classic. Mir. Costgan interrupted to question the accuracy of the chair mans statement, saying that instead there had been no decision 10 that point by reason of a three to three tic vote

He gave ss an example his own experience in working his way through college.
 Mr. nhowani is graduate of Ober- lin college of Ohio, and is carrying on series of lectures in the interest of his country. In collection taken up after the lecture he received over s29.

mobs murder or outrage Negro men or
women and the victim is unable to
protect himself and the law fails or
refuses to intervene and extend pro-

Better Type of Mig
rants Coming North
(Lincoln News Service)

Columbus, Ohio, May 2S.-Writing
in the May issue of the Economic
World on the subject, "The Southern
Negro in Northern Industry" Mr.. John
b. Abel gives very interesting and
encouraging account of the progress
that is being made by the migrants,
and in commenting upon the differ
ences in the type of those who came
North during the war and those who
are now coming says: "a recent
check made of 200 newcomers arriv-
ing at Cincinnati showed that all but
few had received high school train
ing, had worked at some trade, and
were urban dwellers. No small pro-
portion of the number had had one or
more years of college training, and
were coming North with the hope that
they might find some suitable outlet
for their knowledge gained through
schooling. OF twelve hammer men
employed in one plant in Cleveland
five had attended college, and all of
the balance had gone through high
school," The writer quotes a north
ern production manager as follows:
For fifty years the North has been
sending money into southern states
for the education of the Negroes. We
are only just beginning to reap the
benefits of this expenditure and to
realize that we have had splendid
source of labor supply at our back
door, while we have been moaning
over the decrease of immigration from
southern and eastern Europe"

SHORT CUTS

(Lincoln News Service.)
There are forty colored school
teachers in Detroit.
Most women drive automobiles like
they do nails.
It's not far from Il rumble to a
rumpus in Congress.
We need n few more people like the
MalOnes of st. Louis.
Although time is money, it won't
buy prescription in Cleveland.
Any ten farmers may unite to form
national farm loan association.
If Methuselah had not been drink
ing man he might have lived to ripe
old age.
In the United States as a whole.
about 5I6 persons in each 1000 are
of voting age.
There are more colored persons 60
years of age and over in Philadelphia
than in New York or Chicago.
In the Congo, where fur coats are
not expensive, Il mans wealth is reck-
oned by the number of his wives.
1t would be great If we could win
as many prizes in science and in me-
chanical skill as we do in oratory.
Because most of our "boy orators''
are now getting rather old, gray and
feeble, we need a new supply for the
purpose of entertainment.

Methodists Likely
to Elect No
Race Bishops


Springfield, Mass, May 22-The gen.
eral conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church which will adjourn
here next week is not likely to elect
any new race bishops. Only three
white bishops, it is declared, will be
elected
There not being enough work for
Bishop Clair in Liberia, his residence
will be fixed in Covington, KY, where
he will have charge of the Kentucky,
Missouri, Arkansas and Tennessee
conferences as well as the conference
in Liberia.

Monday night the conference list
ened to Bishop ]. Arthur Hamlett, of
the C. N. e. church and Rev. Sandy
Simmons, of South Carolina, of the
"A. NJ. f. church, make their fraternaI
addresses. Bishop r. E. Jones pre-
sided.
CoIored Methodist Union
The conference passed resolution
continuing its commission on the fed
Grafton of colored Methodist churches.
Other colored denominations were
asked to appoint commissions to work
with the NJ. E. group, first, to effect
IL union of the race Methodist church.
es; second, to unite upon the ques-
ton of denominational school and
preparation for the ministry; third, to
undertake a full and frank discussion
of the work in Liberia in order to
avoid duplication.
Last week the conference voted that
to avoid duplication in schools, the
NJ. Z. church would cooperate or unite
with schools of other denominations
or those under Independent control.
Bishop Jones Speaks
Bishop Jones stirred the conference
in an address on Inter-racial Relations
last week when he said:
"AIiXed blood.
"It isn't fair to taunt us with it.
In states where laws permit there are
fewer instances of intermarriage than
in territory where it is forbidden. If
we had our way we would build Il wall
so high against intermarriage that no
Negro could climb over nor white per-
son break through.
Difficulties with white peoplel
1--WE do have difficulties, but not all
of them are racial difficulties. You
and your wives have trouble and be-
long to the same race. Be thankful
for the easygoing, long-suffering dis
position of the Negro. You would
paint red the Atlantic if you had to
put up with the things he patiently
endures.
"White supremacy!
'If you mean by white supremacy
the supremacy of the Anglo-SaXon
ideals, we agree. If you mean color
no.
Segregation!
''If racial consciousness is dynamite,
then racial solidarity is INT. If you
want Negro block that you will have
to reckon with, keep ON arousing pref
udice.
"Laziness
Yes, the Negro is lazy. So are some
other folks. He has done more work
and done it more cheerfully and re-
ceived less for it than any other
group in America. He does not strike.
He may quit work to go to revival
or to circus, but he doesn't strike.
No Negro Near Moses
"Thievery!
'Yes, the Negro steals. But when
the Ten Commandments were passed
down to Moses, there wasn't a Negro
within thousand miles,"
The Colorado statesman., 1924-05-31
