of moisture today where drought has
been affecting domestic winter wheat
tended further to put strain on the
market, and so, likewise. did indica-
tions of enlarged foreign crops dur
ing 1925.
1T was only in the last hour OF the
day that the wheat market developed
power to recover with any degree OF
permancnce. One of the factors in
the late rally was en- opinion from
prominent traders that the United
States is already on domestic basis
concerning breadstufr supplies. He
contended that much wheat still in
the United States has already been
sold for export and that any fresh
export purchasing must be taken from
the normal reserve carry-over.
Corn and oats sagged owing to sym
pathy with wheat.
Provisions were responsive to weak
ness both of grain and hogs.

Ex-Governor Sweet, James Weldon
Johnson and Walter White Made
Addresses

Through Denver's principal streets
l,500 colored people paraded on Sun
day, the day Of the largest mass meet
ing Of the N. "A. "A. G. P. Sixteenth
Annual Conference, at which the chief
addresses were delivered by Ex-Goy-
ernor William E. Sweet, James Vel
don Johnson and Walter White. A
chorus Of $50 voices and Clarence
Reynolds, city organist, furnished mu-
sic at the mass meeting.
In the parade were co1ored war vet
Grams Of the Spanish-American War
and the World War as well as uni
formed members Of fraternal and 9th
er organizations, business and profess
sional men, and decorated floats and
automobiles. This is the largest
parade Of colored people ever held III
Denver.
In delivering his address Of well
come, Ex-Governor Sweet, directly
referring to absence Of the Klan Gov
ernor, Morley, from the meeting, de-
clared:
The State Of Colorado is glad you
have come despite the fact that the
welcome is not delivered BY the chief
executive Of the State"
Mr. Sweet declared that the time
had come to put an end to mob law
in America and he directly attributed
the increase in mobbism 70 the hatred
and spirit Of lawlessness sown BY the
Ku Klux Klan.
James Weldon johnson. in his adj
dress, called upon the colored citizens
Of America to assert a new sort Of
power with which to achieve their
rights. This new power. he asserted,

ical action and organization. The Ne
gro's new power, said Mr.. johnson,
must be used for three main purposes
l. TO achieve the complete eco
nomic emancipation Of the Negro.
This means more than the mere get
ting Of money BY individuals. Il
means We must break down the bar
riers erected in industry against the
Negro laborer. the Negro worker"
2. Complete political emancipation.
1--WE can use our ballots az a lever not
only for ourselves but for our brothers
in the South.
3. Social emancipation. 1--WE must
continue to fight against the theory
and the practice that a dark face,
though covering honesty, thrift, in
telligence and good citizenship, can Be
used as an excuse for insult, con
tumely and discrimination We must
fight the theory that the Negro is
willing to take the position Of pariall,
an outcast"
Mr.. Johnson denounced anti-inter-
marriage laws as the Magma Charta
of bastardy"
"The Negro must save HIMSELF" as
serted Mr.. Johnson. "or he will de-
stroy America He is working for the
basic principles upon which this de-
mocracy is builded II those priuci-
pies perish. if they rot and wither
away, this country as a democracy
must fall"
Walter White, Assistant Secretary
Of the n. A. A. c. p. presided at the
meeting and spoke Of the dangers Of
mob law and intolerance for America
and the entire world.

to meet his wife, he had no such thing

Mr.. Russell was securing the country
for a tenor to sing in Tristan"
To Be brief, the career Of Ferrari-
Fontana reads somewhat like this
He made his debut at the Teatro
Regio Of Turin in the year 1910 with
"Tristano." He sang later on the best
stages Of Italy, four seasons at the
Scala Milan, two at the Dal Verne Of
Milan, three at the Regio Of Turin,
two at the San Carlo Of Naples, two
at the Communale Of Bologna. Leav-
ing Italy for America, he sang two
seasons at Buenos Aires; two at Bos-
ton, two at Chicago and two at New
York. In the first four years Of his
career he gave about eighty recitals Of
Tristan" and seventy Of Tam
hauser." He gave many first inter-
pretations Of new operas, such as
"The Girl Of the Golden West" at
Buenos Aires; Laura BY Zanella at
Bologna, and "L'Amore die tre re" at
La Scala.
