5000 FEET FROM PLANE

Detroit, Mich.-Lieut. Hubert Jul
ian of New York and parts unknown,
demonstrated to the satisfaction of a
crowd of 5000 attending ball game
in Detroit, his claim to supremacy in
the air when he leaped from a plane
5000 feet in the air and landed safe
ly in the middle of street one block
from the ball park.
The lieutenant said that change
in wind direction caused him to vary
the slight margin from his intended
destination. He plans transatlantic
flight in July for which trip he is
having a plane constructed by the
Bellanca Airplane corporation of
New York. State Senator Field is the
personal sponsor of Mr.. Julian.

Pleasing Operetta Presented
Before Large Audience

"The Pennant," a three act oper-
eta, presented by a group of high
school and college students, under the
direction and management of Mrs.
Florentine E. Pinkston, at Brandeis
theater Wednesday night, was de-
lightful and artistic affair highly
pleasing to the audience. The stage
settings, the costuming, the dramatics
and the music left little to be desired
The choruses and ensembles were es-
peeially good and while all of the
solo parts were intelligently sung,
some of the voices were light. There
was a poise and naturalness in the
acting which showed excellent and
thorough dramatic coaching.
The scene of the operetta centers
around the home of Mr.. and Mrs,
Jeremiah Bond, millionaire with a
socially ambitious wife and beauti-
full adopted daughter, in love with
Captain Jack of the college football
team, whom her mother wants to wed
to titled but impecunious English
man; and the campus of Nemaha col
lege. The lovers outwit the bargain
ers for the fair Doris hand by an
elopement and all ends happily.
Gerald Edwards, as Jack Lawson
captain of the football team, who has
an excellent tenor voice, which he
uses well, played his role well. Con.

COM MEMORATI0H
OF GREAT HAITIAN
LIBERAT0R's BIRTH
Fitting Memorial Services Are Held
By American Negro Labor
Congress for Toussaint
L'Overture.

New York, N. Y.-The birthday
of the great liberator, Toussaint
|L'Overture, was commemorated in a
fitting manner at memorial meeting
hel Sunday, May %, under the aus
pices of the American Negro Labor
congress.
The movement was started two
years ago, and its growth is signifi-
cant of the renewed interest taken by
outstanding figures in the organiza-
ton of the movement for the full and
complete emancipation of the race
not only in America but throughout
the world.
The speakers at the meeting in
cluded Richard B. Moore of the
American Negro Labor congress, who
acted as chairman; William Pickens,
Henry Rosemond, August Bernier,
J. J. Adams, Haitian representative at
the Geneva conference, and others.
Mr.. Moore said little more than a
hundred years after Haiti's trium-
phant struggle against Napoleon for
her complete independence, this is
land of the West Indies finds itself
under the steel heels of American
Imperialism; foreign control far
more menacing and crushing and
deadening than ever attended the DO
litical control of one state over an
other.
Toussaint L'Overture was born
slave in the French colony of Haiti,
then known as Santo Domingo.
When the revolution came in France
at the close of the eighteenth CEN
tury the revolutionary ideas of Dan
ton and Robespierre found ready re-
cruits among the toiling slaves and
discontented mulattoes of the oppress-
ed island. L'Overture was the fore
most of the Santo Dominican leaders.
He not only overthrew slavery
throughout the island but carried on
successful struggle against Napo-
Icons Themidoran policy of reaction
and made way for the birth of the re-
public of Haiti, according to the rec
ords contained in Chaplain T. G.
Stewards History of the Republic of
Haiti.

SENATOR HEFLIN IS
QUITE AMUSING TO
THINKING NEGROES
Holding His Senatorial Seat by Virtue
of fragrant Modification Prac-
tices in Alabama, He
Berates Smith

Washington, ID. C.-Colored citi-
zens were greatly amused by recent
speech made by their friend" SEN
ator James Thomas Heflin of Ala
bama, in which he termed Governor
Al Smith of New York a "Constitu-
tional nullifier."
1t was recalled that when Senator
Heflin was elected to the United
States senate, he received only 1914
664 votes, although there are 441 600
Negro males and females of voting
age in the state of Alabama, who,
because of the notification laws are
not permitted to exercise their con-
stitutional rights as citizens. Because
of it's intended effect throughout the
country many colored voters believe
that the senator slipped cog by his
reference TO notification, of which he
is conspicuous beneficiary; or else
he is trying to weave political spider
web for the leading democratic candi-
date for the presidency.
But while colored citizens are more
amused than disturbed or offended by
the regularity and prodigality of the
senator's mental gymnastics they pity
him and condole with his constit-
uency.
The loss of Senator Heflin, how
ever, would be most unfortunate be-
cause every time he makes speech
on one of his two subjects, Negro
citizens gain friends. While he
slams" they are going on with their
work, delivering the goods and max
ing progress.
