NEGRO SHOOTING FRACAS
AT TNDLEY'S CHAPEL
Edgar Matthews Is Wounded By
Isaac Spady.-Now In Hospital
Recuperating.

A shooting affray occurred at an
all-day meeting held by the colored
people at Tindley Chapel last Sun
day. -
Edgar Matthews and Isaac Spady
became involved in an alteration.
Spady, it is said, drew his gun, fired
at Matthews, and inflicted wound in
the upper part Of his leg.
Matthews, it is reported, then turn
ed upon Spady, wrested the gun from
the assailant and beat him up rather
severely with the butt.
Matthews is now in the hospital and
is doing as well as could be expected.
It seems to be rather difficult for
colored folk to assemble for any sort
of meeting, religious or otherwise,
without some difficulty arising such
as the above. So frequently is it the
case that it has been found necessary
70 pass laws regulating such gather
ings. In many counties it is impossi-
BILE to hold camps, grove meetings and
the like, without first obtaining per-
mission of the county authorities.
Corn liquor plays a prominent part
in the disturbances and there can al.
ways be found the bootlegger wher.
ever there is a crowd. It is reported
that much liquor was in evidence last
Sunday at Tindley Chapel, and the
editor of this paper can testify he saw
what looked. like the effects of inbib.
ing, as he drove by the place.

WRiGLEY WILL APPEAL
 CHEWING GUM DECISION

CHICAGO, Ill.,, Dec. 29.-A 13 year controversy over the color scheme once used by the William Wrigley, jr company on one kind of it's chewing gum, in which Federal Judge Wilkerson today gave an award of $1,471, ,000 to the L. T. Lar son, jr., company, is not ended yet. The .Wrigley company will appeal.
 William Wrigley, jr., president of the Wrigley company, explained that the award gives him no concern, as the sum is less than ten per cent of the company's surplus. He added that the color scheme in controversy was abandoned by his company in 1918 but that Federal Judge Ander- son had decided that the company had perfect right to use it and that therefore the company will ap- peal rather than pay the accounting order by Judge Wilkerson.

AUTHOR DECLARES
 NATION JAZZ CRAZY
Warner Fabian Issues Note Of
 Warning In Photoplay

The whole of America today is taking its fun where it finds it." de- clares Warner Fabian, author of Flaming Youth" No heed is given of the morrow. We are nation of pleasure-mad, jazz-crazed fiends."
 By nature we are all lovers of pleasure" Fabian states, "and it is natural that our young men and women seek every ounce of pleasure that they can get. But unrestrained pleasure is dangerous and it is the duty of the parents to warn the younger genera tion of the dangers that beset those who would take their fun where they find it."
 As photoplay, Flaming Youth" stands out as one of the most startling and sensational films of the year. Deal ing in frank way with the problems which confront every young woman and girl, it points to the dangers which beset those who would ignore the con- ventions for a life of unrestraint.
 An unusually talented cast inter- prets it's several roles, including Col Teen Moore, Milton Stills. Elliott Dex- ter, Betty Francisco, Phillips Smalley, Walter McGrail, Ben Lyon and others.
 The picture will be shown at the Capitol theatre today and Thursday
 For Friday and Saturday, William DeMille's big production, Nice Peo- ple. will be the attraction at the Capitol, featuring real star cast. and with new organ selections on the Capi- tol reproduce pipe organ.

STOCK LETTERS

aNEw YORK, Jan. 2s.-Irregularity marked the early dealings in stockg in which there was heavy selling in United States Steel by those who believed that no better than 2s cents extra wcus3 De declared and that such . figure. would be disappointing. On the other hand, there are many buyers of steel who believe that the important extra will be declared at the next meeting in April and are content to hold it until then. American Can was the exception to the general list and moved forward almost all day, reaching the highest figure ever recorded at 119. Weakness developed in several specialities, while the rails continued to hold firm gen. orally and renewed buying coming into the Fries, Wabash "A" and Southern railway. Famous Players suffered a also lost ground. Activity increased in the last hour when several stocks ad- vanced sharply from the lows. Corn Products came up from 179 to 184, al- though Baldwin travelled in the oppo- site direction, losing about point. Traders are rather cautious about fol lowing up advances, many of them predicting February reactions. Final tone irregular. Total sales, 1,152,600 shares.
 United States Steel declared an extra dividend of 50 cents 8 few minutes after the market cloSed.-Fenner & Beane to Kahn Bros. & Virgin.
 NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-Interest today, has centered on the likelihood of action by the United States Steel directors, and there have been all sorts of ru- mors to what this board would do. The general expectation is that they will declare the regular 1A per cent on United States Steel common and < per cent extra. Anything beyond this will be, considered an agreeable surprise and will probably make a better mar ket, and if there is no extra dividend at all there will be disappointment and perhaps a modefate decline. The oil lease scandal is losing it's sting, due to the very wise and strong measures being taken by President Coolidge for an unbiased and fair investigation of this situation. The market today has been somewhat less active, but the tone has been strong. Sales, 1,182, ,500.- Post & Flagg to shannon & Co.
