NO NEGRO PROBLEM

Boston, Feb. 12--The assertion that ''there is no negro problem today" be- cause of the negroe was made by DF. I. Garland Penn of Cinncinnati, cor responding secretary of the board of education for negroes of the Metho- dist Episcopal church. in an address p1 epared for delivery today at Lin- coin Day meeting of the school Of re- ligious education and social service Of Boston university.
 At emancipation" he said. there was a negro problem involving wheth- CT the negroes would be a blessing to the nation of a nuisance. The an- swer depended upon education. The million dollars Of property now locat- ed in the south devoted to college and secondary education of the negro to- gether with the now aggressive inter- est Of each southern state. doing more for the education of the negro than ever in the past, made fl possible for the negro to be an asset.
 There is no negro problem today because the progress Of the negro in s5 ncation. business and religion has shown possibilities and if treated as others he Will be an asset as a useful law abiding citizen"

ADMITS SHIPPING ALCOHOL IN CANS
Springfield Man Pleads Guilty, Is
 Fined and Jailed

Joseph Norman of Springfield was fined $2O0 and sentenced to 30 days in jail this morning by Judge Ben Jamin w. filling, in police court, when he changed his plea of not guilty, en- tered Saturday, to guilty on his ar- raignment on charges of transporting liquor with intent to sell. Norman and Peter Bahdah Of Waterbury were arrested by the police as a result of the seizing of trunk containing four 5-gallon cans of alcohol at the rail- road station baggage room last Erie day afternoon by Detective Patrick O'AIara.
 Norman made clean breast of the affair with the result that Prosecuting Attorney Joseph G. Woods entered d nolle in the case of Bahdah. Norman told the court that he had the liquor in his posse ssion in Springfield and didn't know what to do with it. He said that he met Bahdah and the lat ter agreed to dispose Of it for him in Waterbury. He shipped it to Water bury and when it arrived there, Bahdah refused to have anything to do with it. so Norman then had the trunk forwarded to New Britain where it was seized by the police.
 Bahdah was arrested at Waterbury by Sergeant William F. McCue and Detective o'Mara as a result of an in- vcstigation made there into the iden- tity of the shipper of the trunk.
