law student, the law school faculty
decided not to suspend him. He was,
however, ordered to apologize to the
dean of women for his conduct, to
remain off the hill" for the remain
der of this school year, and given a
verbal reprimand. The fact that
French accompanied a young lady to
the "Backbiters" party who was not
a student, although she was a guest
in Miner Hall from New York, les
sened his punishment.
Harmon Action Late.
The medical school faculty took no
action in the case of Walter Harmon
until after an expose had been made
in the newspapers of a double stand
ard of discipline as between profess
sional and non-professional school
students. Last Thursday evening
he was indefinitely suspended. Har-
mon is said to be married student.
According to reports, the three
"co-eds," a girl visitor in Miner Hall
and the four boys attended Back

BISHOP BROOKS SPEAKS
BEFORE FISK AUDIENCE

Nashville, Tenn, Mar. 25-The
students and faculty of Fisk Univer-
sity were fortunate in having as their
guest at Chapel Services, on last
Tuesday morning, Bishop w. Samp-
son Brooks, who gave an inspiring
message on his work in Africa
Bishop Brooks admonished the stu
dents not to think solely of Africa as
their fatherland, but rather as repre-
senting the abode of the many un-
fortunates of our group. He said
that "it is the duty of every Negro
boy and girl receiving higher educa-
tion to remember his unfortunate
brother in the dark continent, espe-
cially the fifty million or more wom-
en-, who are slaves under the system
of polygamy."
The Bishop showed genuine inter-
est in his field of work and a sincere
desire to impress us with the great
need in Africa.

10 Baker Gets
Into Fuss; Now
Faces Lawsuit

Paris.-Josephine Baker, formerly
of "Runnin' Wild" who headed a
Negro revue in the European capitals
and taught Europe the Charleston,
pleaded before a referee appointed by
the Seine Tribunal that she is under
age and therefore cannot be bound
by contract.
Josephine jumped the company in
Berlin and returned to Paris, where
she signed to play in the Follies Ber-
ceres for $1,000 a month. The revue
manager followed her here and sued
for 100000 francs for breaking the
contract.
The referee postponed decision un-
til he can examine the American law
in the case.

them. They know"
Detective Dinan, one of the ar,
resting officers, took the stand, and
his testimony was corroborated by
Detective Foley. The officers testi
fed that the defendants were exam,
ined separately at the station, and
each made confessions. The girl
the officers said, had willingly gone
to the barn with them.
Sergeant Henry denied the charge
of one of the defendants that the
officers and forced the defendants to
make confessions. The signed state
ments, he said, were taken by him.
The policemen were followed on the
stand by Robert Volze, one of the
defendants, who turned state evil
dence.
Witness Grilled.
Counsel for Amentea grilled Volze
severely and questioned his credit
ability as a witness. Volze told of
his experience with the girl and the
relation he saw the defendant have
with her. He told how the girl sug-
gested and urged him and two of his
companions to take her to the barn
Turning from the story of his
knowledge of her riding up and down
the subways, Volze told of the two
day experience with the girl. The
story was more pathetic than hor-
rible. 1t seemed that an ignorant
foolish little girl had come to New
York and gone astray.
Lack of Evidence.
The girls mother, Mrs. Della
Walker, took the stand to give the
girls correct age. She said that she
was born December IL, 1911. That
the girl had the appearance of a
young woman about 20 years old was
admitted by her mother.
In resting the case before the jury
the defense argued that no evidence
had been produced that showed that
the act was actually committed
That there had been no corrobora-
tion of the testimony of Volze was
also contended by the defense coun-
sci.

The Owl Garage Company, 442-

with the times by installing the
Kwik Way System, which is new
machine, considered the only eff
cient system of servicing motor
valves.
Mrs. Few, owner and manager of
the Owl Garage, states that statistics
show 83 percent of all motor trou-
bles can be traced back to leaky
valves. The Kwik Way System is a
scientific, effective mechanical pro-
cess of the utmost precision and ac-
curacy and it puts new pep in old
motors and makes new motors bet
ter.
The Owl Garage invites the car
owners and drivers to drive in, as

POLICE TAKE LIFE
OF NEGRO B0Y,2o
Kansas City Youth Shot Second
Time AS He Lay Dying, Eye
Witnesses Aver.

Kansas City, Mo-Dorsey Stewart,
20, was shot to death here with a
riot gun last Friday morning by
police officers who caught him in the
act of stealing ham from a delivery
truck. The shooting occurred at the
corner of Nineteenth and Vine
streets.
The charge from tho riot gun was
fired without calling to the boy to
halt, although at the time the shot
was fired, the boy was about 40 feet
from both officers and could have
been halted or caught easily.
With 13 slugs in his abdomen and
hands, the boy ran nearly hundred
feet and fell moaning and crying to
the ground behind a signboard. AT
this point, eye-witnesses state one of
the officers ran to the boy and with
an oath fired pistol bullet into his
body as he lay dying.
An indignation mass meeting was
held Monday evening at the Vine
Street Baptist church, at which time
Rev. Holmes denounced the killing
as murder, wholly outside the pur-
suit of duty, and called for the
prosecution of the officers in the
criminal court on charge of MUIR
der. A resolution calling upon the
county prosecutor to file direct for
murder against the officers was
adopted at the meeting.
Police commissioners have prom
ised to investigate fully and "go the
limit" on the basis of their findings.
