SHIPS ON
SAIL.

The Leviathan and other
crack liners of the United
States lines as well as the IL
shipg of the American Mer-
chant line will again be of
fered for sale, the United
States Shipping Board has an
nounced.
The offer for sale is con-,
ditioned, not only in that the
bids must be satisfactory ones,
but stipulations will be made
that will place any sale IN
keeping with the provisions of
the injunction obtained by
William Randolph Hearst in
1919.
Must Fly o.. s. Flag
This INDUCTION restrained the
Shipping Board from selling
ahips Of the United States lines
to anyone but an American or an
American company. 1t also pro-
vided that If she ships are sold
they must continue to fly the
American flag and could not be
turned over to foreign registry.
The projected offer Of sale is
taken in shipping circles as an
offer to the international Mer-
camille Marine, heretofore the
only bidders for the United
States Line ships. The I. N. III.
was composed of seven lines,
five Of them foreign and this Of
course eliminated them as bid
Sders.
However the company negotiated
the sale Of its White Star line,
constituting so per cent Of the
combine, to British interests, it was
reported that the company was un.
leading foreign interest for the
purpose of bidding in the U. S.
Line vessels.
Commissioner Teller in announc.
ing the projected sale for the Ship
ping Board outlined numerous stlpu.

ton; restriction against junking,
and the taking back Of the ships
by the Government in the event
conditions are not lived up to. He
added:

sell the ships to the highest bidder.

Told that Budlong was said to
have complained OF ''too much

Mrs. Budding said:
II don't see why he should COM

He should have thought OF the
notoriety angle before he started
the suit.

Finally Otis got a bite and
brought to the surface a 15-inch
pickerel. Just as the net was
brought into play, however las all
good fish stories gol the fish made
one final desperate leap and eluded
both net and hook.
This was too much for the Presl.
dent. He asked his caretaker IL
they couldn't try their luck jointly
in a boat. "A small boat was
brought out and the pair set forth.
Mr.. Coolidge trolled with a spoon
for nearly an hour.
His technique, according to those
watching, was all that could be
expected Of any disciple Of Izaac
Walton.
At last success was his. An
eyerspreading circle expanded in
the wake of a leaping fish.
The President cast was short
and cast again squarely in the
center of the ripples. A two
pound pickerel arose to the flash
of the spoon and took the hook.
IA brief, but spirited play with
the reel and it was in the boat,
the Presidents first each in many
years.
So elated was the Executive at
his success that Immediately after
dinner he went out again, trying
his luck, although without further
success until dark.
At any rate there was fish on
the White House table at dinner
time.

Acting President Called Dis
loyal; RumOred that Detroit
Convention Is to Put Mrs.
Garvey in Power.

New York, March 5.-The Uni
versal Negro Improvement Associa-
ton is torn by dissension and in
ternal strife.
From his cell in Atlanta peniten-
tiary, where he is serving term for
using the mails to defraud, President
General Garvey has issued a procla-
nation charging Acting President
General William Sheriff. and other
high officials with disloyalty, and
calling IAN international convention
of the Negroes of the world to be
held in Detroit from March IA to 81.
Administrative Change Needed.
There is urgent necessity for a
change in the present administration
of the Universal Negro Improvement
Association and it's auxiliaries, and
this convention will, among other
things, elect officers so as to insure
the successful carrying forward of
IiiS WI oO AMY OOSuh anu lOoIOl GU
by our great leader" the call states.
A majority of members of the New
York Division do not favor holding
a convention and are Said to be in
sympathy with Sheriff. and other Of
ficers who have become persona non
grata with the incarcerated leader.
They say it is unconstitutional and
whatever is done will not be binding
on the national officers.
Police Restraint.
Followers of Sheriff. assert the
convention has been called in De-
troit for the express purpose of put
ting Mrs. Garvey in control of the
organization. The feeling between
the two factions is bitter in Harlem.
At meetings in Liberty Hall the pres
ence of police has been necessary to
maintain order.
Garvey's chief complaint against
Sheriff. is that the acting president
general has not kept in close touch
with him during his Imprisonment,
and that Sheriff. was not interpret
ing the true spirit of the association.
Sheriff. denies he has been disloyal
to Garvey. .-.,.-...

MINNEAPOLIS N. A. A. C.. p
MEETS

The Young people of the Univer-
sity of Minnesota and Hamline pre-
scented a splendid program at the N.
A. A. C. P. meeting at Bethesda
church.
The second monthly meeting of
the N. A. A. C. P. was held at
Bethesda before an audience that
nearly filled the church.
Aftes the formal opening an in
formal round-table talk on the sub
ject, THE Power of Protest." intro
duced by the President, was INDUCED
in, several of the audience express
ing themselves forceably and well.
This was followed by the report of
the secretary, Miss Margaret Vim
egar, on the two meetings of the
Executive committee, giving the out
lines to be followed by the associa-
ton during the spring.
The president, Mr.. VIM. NJ. Smith,
took the few minutes allotted to him
to make an earnest talk on the need
of strong organization here, and
telling of instances coming under his
personal observation where, when
preferment is given; members of our
group are passed up because of no
organization behind them strong
enough to cause those in authority
any conlern.
DR.. Milton Judy made short but
strong talk for members, and secur-
ed quite a number on his invitation
to join.
The program was then turned over
to our young university students,
Helen Jackson, Armeda wilkins,
Herbert Howell and Reginald John
son. who gave a program thoroughly
enjoyed by all present.

Folk" by Dubois was rendered by
Mrs. Gladys James in so graphic and
interesting way that those who had

Attorney Hammond Turner was

some of the reasons why the Negro
should be patriotic. Mrs. Gladys

tistic way.
A splendid crowd assembled in the
Auditorium of the main Young Wom-

sent the "Brownskin Follies" for the
benefit of the "Y." Much credit is
due them and their directress, Mrs.

tertainment.

been heretofore to depict anything
that may be used to sway the public
against a champion of color.
But in Flowers we are fearless as
to the outcome of his pugilistic
career for we know him to be a men,
Der of a good religious family and a
Christian at heart himself as mani
tested in his prayer just before the
contest. AS it happens boxing was
his choice vocation and livelihood,
which has nothing to do with a mans
character. The good traits of one
champion should receive just as
much publicity as the bad traits of
another. We place our confidence
and hopes in Tiger Flowers that he
may ever stand as a man among
men, so that his mother, family,
Mayor ]. L. Andrews, and the citi-
zens of that little town of Brunswick,
Georgia, will ever be proud of him.

CONTEST REFUSES
NEGRO ENTRANTS
Kansas City Students Unable to
Enter National OratOrical
Constitution Event.

Kansas City, Mo.-Students of
Lincoln and Sumner high schools
will not have a chance to compete on
the Constitution of the United States
it became evident this week.
Existing sentiment in Kansas
City, is given as the reason for the
barring of the colored student ora
tors.
The contest is sponsored in this
area annually by The Kansas City
Star and The Star this year parti-
cularly regrets the situation which
prevents the colored schools COM
peting. The Star feels that it cannot
fly in the face of the prejudice of
the schools here and run the risk of
having the, contest in this area fall
fiat.
Miss Francis Dickerson, who is in
charge of the contest for The Star,
expressed her deepest regret person
ally, and for The Star also. She
said white school principals had not
refused to enter if colored schools
were allowed to participate, but had
simply asked, What are you going
to do about the colored schools?"
Two years ago when it was ru-
mored the colored schools would en-
ter, white principals are said to have
posted notices in their schools advis-
ing that their students could with
draw if they liked.
Last year Sumner entered and
competed against white high schools
in Kansas City, Kan, and her en-
trant won second prize.
1t was said also that the officials
of Ivanhoe Temple, where the final
zone contest will be held, would not
allow colored entrants in the hall.
Last year, Archibald Carey, Jr., of
Chicago, won prize of $1,000 in
the contest and another lad in Pitts
burgh, Pa, won it in his district con-
test.

to bring Attorney William H. Lewis
back into the folds of the Republican
party. Senator Harrison pointed out
that Lewis made vigorous campaign
for John w. Davis in the last presi-
Dental campaign. He claims that
Senator Butler is making a bid for
Lewis support in the naming of

of Pennsylvania has been making
some attacks on the Republican lead
ers through his paper recently and
through the appointment of Cobb it
is hoped to allay the pen of Vann.

A NEGRO CHAMP

(From George Barton's column in the
Minneapolis Tribune)
Reports from the east are to the
effect that fistic followers along the
Atlantic seaboard are considerably
exercised over the defeat of Harry
Greb by Tiger Flowers, the Negro
middleweight from Atlanta, Ga.
Gossip has it that excited adherents
of the Marquis of Queensbury pas
time are casting about for an oppon-
ent who will restore the 160-pound
championship to the white race.
There is no reason why anyone
should become upset over the fact
that a Negro is a champion prize
fighter. The ring in the past pro-
duced such black champions as
George Dixon, Joe Cans, Joe Wal
colt and Jack Johnson, but no one
allowed this sort of thing to inter-
fere with his business or social af-
fairs. What difference should it
make whether a fistic champion is
white, black, tan, or yellow, so long
as he can fight? The public pays to
see prizefighters maui one another
for it's entertainment and is not call
ed upon to mingle with them social
ly. There never has been any So
nj oil OF in, r0Il q
persons who follow that profession
meet on the same footing inside the
hempen circle.
Dixon, Cans, Walcott, Peter Jack
son, Sam Langford, Sam McVea and
Joe Jeanette, all Negroes, were as
popular with boxing fans as any of
their white brethren. Tiger Flowers
is one of the most unique boxers the
ring ever developed. He is of a very
religious turn of mind. He conducts
himself in a gentlemanly manner
both in the ring and out of it. If
mans character has any bearing on
the holding of a championship, then
Flowers is better qualified for the
honor than most of his white rivals.
Not only is Flowers very decent
fellow, but he is great fighter and
is popular with the boxing public.
There should be no undue worry
about his ascending the throne in
the middleweight class.
The St. Paul echo., 1926-03-06

Tiger Flowers defeat of Harry
Greb was a surprise to many. No
one familiar with the boxing game
saw any hopes for the challenger, ex-
cept a chance blow and that would
have been extreme luck, as Greb with
his title at stake could not be seen
taking any chances.
While everything has been said to
acquaint the world with the new
champion, as to his wonderful ply
sique, his peculiar, but masterful
skill, and the sportsmanlike manner
in which he goes about it, it is also
well that we mention him as private
citizen, a man with high moral
standing, of pleasant disposition
with which egotism never combines.
We mention these facts to protect
him from those whose chief duty has

Washington, D. c., March S.
Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi
made strong protestations to the Ju-
dietary Committee Of the Senate
Wednesday against the recommends
ton of Atty. James A. Cobb of Loui-
siana, whom President Coolidge NOM
mated for the place made vacant on
the Municipal Bench by the death of
Judge Robert H. Herrell.
Senator Harrison urged the COM
mittee not to report the nomination
favorably.
Objection Listed.
The Mississippi Senator contended
that careful review of Cobb's record
revealed that his activities had been
calculated to stir up race hatred, and
that his temperament and ambitions
are such as to disqualify him for a
judicial position.
Harrison declared that Cobb's
nomination was an outgrowth of
Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania pol
itics. William C. Matthews, William
H. Lewis, Boston attorneys, WELD i'm
portant political influences in the
Bay States; and Robert L. Vann, an
attorney and editor of the Pittsburgh
Courier, an important factor in pol
itics in Pennsylvania and surround
ing states, are said to be close friends
of Cobb.

Flowers Becomes Middleweieht
Champion Defeating Harry Greb
Decision Changes Title, Giving
Crown to Georgia Deacon
Who Out-Grebbed Greb to
Win Match.
preston News Service)


New York, March 5.-Theodore
'"Tiger" Flowers of Atlanta, Ca, was
awarded the decision over Harry
Greb of Pittsburgh, Pa, at the end
of Is rounds in Madison Square Gar
den Friday night after bout of ex-
ceptional roughness and little COM
mand as a display of the science of
the manly art of self-defense
There were a number of the 49,
900 spectators who thought that the
bout ended in draw, but Joe Hum
phreys announced that seven rounds
belonged to Flowers and five to Greb
the others were tie. The news of
Flowers victory spread through Har-
lem like flash and was the cause of
much exultation on the part of those
who had wagered Flowers would re-
turn victor.
Early Friday many Pittsburgh
rooters for Greb milled through Har-
lem seeking Flowers money and il
is reported that the Pittsburghers
were accommodated.
Flowers was in the pink of condi-
ton and went into the fight to meet
the rough-and-tumble methods OF
Greb. Flowers was so clever in the
adoption of Greb's style of fighting
that it made Greb appear almost
helpless at times. His own admirers
declared that Greb suffered by com
parison, as the Georgia fighter out
Grebbed him at every turn. Gret
appeared off form and nervous, while
Flowers was calm, cautious, ferociou.
and determined.
