U. 5. MUST KEEP
 MARINES ABROAD
Bingham Insists They Are Els.
 Sential in China

Manila. July R>-Senator Hiram Bingham (rep.). of Connecticut, told the Associated Press correspondent today that he had cabled to Secre- tary of State Kellogg at Washington from Shanghai, outlining lis sugges- tons for an American policy in China. Senator Bingham made his suggestions as the result of eXten- slyo travels and investigations re- gently whic htook him into the in- terior of China and to many of it's chief cities.
 The proposed policy was stated by Senator Bingham as follows:
 l. Keep L. s. Marines in China and increase their number If neces- gently which took him into the in- tcrests wherever warcratt can pene- trate.
 States Consulate at Ranking and send a consulgeneral there.
 B. Send American diplomatic agents to every de facto government in China. including the factions led by Chiang kai-Shek, Feng fu- Hsiang and all other war lords. If necessary, agents for this purpose should be obtained from the person. nel of the Peking legation or select ed from army officers in China.
 Would Evacuate Interior
 Bingham said he considered 1t a mistake to evacuate Americans from coast or river ports. wpere they could be protected, as Chinese misin- terpreted the move. He believed if was necessary however, 70 withdraw Americans from the interior.

THEATER GRAPHING
 TALES DISCLOSED
Seller in New York Made Much
 on the Side

New York, July SPNGood seats are not available at the box offices O. leading Broadway theaters unless you apply three weeks ill advance. and agencies get up to s9O seat for prize fight tickets and up to $25 for musical comedy tickets, witnesses at the investigation into the ticket brokerage business testified yes- terday.
 Leonard E. Bergman. general manager of the Erlanger theaters, said the first If rows were sold out to agencies from four to eight weeks in advance. although tickets applied for at the box office more than two weeks in advance were held out from the agency allotments.
 How a block of nine tickets to the Delaney -Maloney flight in February, on which was stamped d face value of S22 each, were purchased from scalpers for SS5 each and sold to a client for S9o each, was related by Joseph J. Newman. manager of the Broadway Theater Ticket Agency. He also told how he sold a book of i've tickets for the Ziegfeld Theater. with face value of S5.5O each, for S2J each.
 Bergman said the practice of sell ing out the best of the house in ad- vance. amounted to having the show under written by the ticket agencies.
 The result of this practice is that the theatcrs and producers are only making money on a few hits while the rest of their shows are breaking even, or running at a loss?" suggest ed L. $. Atty. Futile.
 Yes. sir" replied Mir. Bergman.
 He related how box office men are paid salaries amounting to only S1,- 300 year. but through their deal- ings with the ticket brokers make between $10,000 and s15,000 a year.
 Mr. Bergman said gifts from tick ct agencies to box office managers were never handled openly because from 35 to 50 per cent of the gross receipts had to be paid in royalties and to the actors. who could then claim part of the gifts.
 He agreed with Mir. Futile that it was a system whereby the box office an dthe theaters ''gyp' others from their profits in the productions as well as the government from taxes.

A HOUR BIKE RACE
 IS :0N IN LONDON
Fifteen Premier Contestants Start Long Grind

London, July UP) Fifteen of will start at seven o'clock tonight (British summer time) on what is believed to be the most gruelling race in the world.
 The event is the 24 hour tandem paced race. being revived, after d lapse of IT years by the Polytech- nic Cycling club, cycling section ot one of Britain's foremost athletic organizations.
 The open-air cement track at Herne Hill, in southeast London, has been specially prepared and fitted with arc lights for the occa- sion. Tents. cooking stoves and first aid stations have been rigged up on the lawn inside the track. Each competitor is allowed 20 tandems with 20 different crews for pace making throughout the twice. round -the-clock test. The number of laps each crew will pace their man will be decided by his trainer. In addition to the competitors, over thousand men will be re- quired to volunteer their services as pace makers, checkers, maSSeurS and attendants. There will be GOO pace makers, 300 officials, 90 lap scorers, 60 trainers, attendants and masseurs in addition to a number of ambulance men.
 Competitors and pacers have, for some time past, been practicing the art of changing over from one tan dem to another at speed and experts believe that the present record, made by J. H. Bishop in 1909, of 5l3 miles, 1430 yards will be soundly beaten.
 Tire manufacturers are giving prizes for the first four men and special intermediate prizes will be presented to the leaders at 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, IS and , hours. The pace makers of the first three will receive rewards to the value of S225 between ing the 24 hours will be given souvenir of the event.
 Eleven different clubs will be rep resented by the fifteen riders who will be chosen from the following: H. Grant, w. s. Almond E. C. Pill cher, w. w. Perkins, H. T. G. Page, w. G. Stewart, H. Fowler. G. s. Sibthorpe, A. A. Turner, J. E. Holds worth. D. Marsh, F. J. Vim, V. S. Bowman, J. J. Lee, H. OXley, W. G. Hazel, A. G. Keen, E. G. Bowtle.
 Among these Grant, Pitcher, Holdsworth and Marsh are the fav- orites. Grant is quite at home on the Herne Hill track, but has not pre- viously ridCen in a 24-hour contest. On the other land, Pitcher, Holds worth and Marsh are road racers and all three are noted long distance per formers.
 By way of variety during duller stages Of the race and in the hope of attracting larger gate. the Poly technic club are arranging races at various distances including two championships, and walking handi- cap to take place during Saturday afternoon. These will be staged on the turf inside the cycling track.
 Tickets have sold well. even those for the overnight session being in great demand and the event promis, es to he a very profitable venture for the club if. f.>not for some of the rid CTS.

Marcus Garvey

Marcus Carney, leader of the Uni
versal Negro Improvement Associa-
ton and black threat to Nordic sup
remacy has been deported to his ma
tive land of Jamaica. Garvey is not
through. 1t won't be very long be-
fore he will be heard from, We pre-
dict black folk will rally to his call
more than ever.
What is the real reason for Gar
vey's magical influence upon great
masses of Negroes? Why was he
able to organize and unity more Ne
groes than any other ran in history?
A movement that commands the fam
atical devotion of two million people,
black or white, cultured or crude,
must have something more in it than
red and green uniforms. Even now,
though the dream of empire has fad
ed, though the Black Star ships are
gone, though Liberty Hall has been
sold, though Garvey himself has Ian
guished in prison, his followers be-
lieve in him as fervently as they did
when he was at the height of his pow
er. Not one of them regrets the mon
ey lost in Garvey's enterprises. Why?
1t is because Marcus Garvey made
black people proud of their race. In
world where black is despised he
taught them that black is beautiful.
He taught them to admire and praise
black things and black people, to call
themselves the heirs of the ages and
the proud equals of any race on earth.
His movement, enlightened or not,
came from the bosom of his race,
and he showed the world a compact
body Of two million that was black to
the last man and the last dollar. That
was the real handspring behind the
ships, the parades, the talk of en-
pire, and it survives their destruc-
ton.
Marcus Garvey made the masses of
Negroes feel that his cause was
theirs, that no man or woman was too
humble to join in the great work of
Negro redemption. They rallied to
him because he heard and responded
to the heartbeat. of his race.

"All Colored"

A certain newspaper being pub
lished above the Mason-Dixon line
makes a strong plea for an "all-col-
ored" hospital in Gary, Indiana, and
insists that the hospital be entirely
manned by black people. This news
paper further makes plea for a
"colored fire department" and in
sists that it be entirely manned" by
black men. This newspaper urges
that the city of Gary set up these in
stitutions in the hope that benefit
will be established for the swarthy
Garyites.
II seems to us that while the pens
of Afro-American editors are pouring
ink on their pages denouncing Gary's
proposed "All colored" high school
that a demand for Jim Grow hospit-
ais and fire departments by this GER
tain newspaper means that segrega-
tion is by no means taken as serious
evil by certain elements of cur peo-
pie. We have known this all along
and rallied against it but all to no
avail. We are oftimes confronted
with the argument in defense of seq
regation emanating from our white
brethren that. Negroes, themselves
seek segregation"
William Munroe .Trotter, a noble
champion Of human liberty, has given
these self-segregationists no quarter
and has bitterly assailed and assault
ed every leaning toward segregation
in Boston, but he alone has refused
to bend and bow. Every other lead
err has found exigencies arising of
such nature that segregation could
he excused. We find no excuse for
it anywhere or on any occasion. Seq
regation is hangover from slavery
and we want freedom end liberty.
Advocates and pleaders for call col
ored" institutions do net think in
terms Of free men.

Petitions

At conference of colored leaders
held in WASHINGTON the other day,
President Coolidge was called upon
and petitioned on the part of the race
for more RECOGNITION. a greater par
,ticipation in the affairs of the ma
ton, which the NEGRO has earned not
only thru his devotion and loyalty TO
the party in power, but thru his de-
votion and loyalty as a full Pledged
citizen and for his one hundred per
cent Americanism in war and in
peace.
The Chicago Defender is now lead
ing a movement for the same thing.
These movements are all right. Thew
are always in order. However, this
is not the first time such steps have
been taken.
A few months after our local and
national elections Negro leaders us
ually get busy with resolutions and
petitions in an effort to influence
the political higher-ups to do the
things they promised they would do
before they were voted into office
by Negroes.
These previous resolutions and pc
ticisn have produced little results,
Those petitioned have had handed
out half-hearted encouragement
enough to keep our would be leaders
in suspense and watchful waiting un-
til few months before another cleo
tion when the master politicians again
are freer with their speech and prom
Uses. which is accepted in the same
faith, and with the same hopefulness.
Petitions are no good unless they
are backed up by men and not monk
eys, men who petition within the
bounds of right and reason. but ac-
cept no further promises less than
that petitioned for.
When our case in court Is espoused
by unselfish, Independent. courageous
leaders and the fact is known by
those petitioned we will get what we
are entitled to. and not until then.

The United States has 33 inhabit-
ants to the square mile; China 219,
Germany 332, Japan (proper) 375,
Holland 542, Belgium 652, Java CTS,
England 700. The United States
embraces 6.5 per cent of the worlds
area, 7.6 per cent of its population
China, 7.5 per cent of area, 22.9 per

entire population of the world were
