Ex-Mayor Fawcett Passes

Tuesday morning the entire city
was shocked to learn of the death of
A. V. Fawcett, former mayor of Tao
oma four times. He was 81 years of
age and had been married four times.
The ex-mayor was colorful char
acter and there was something doing
every minute when he was in the Of
flee or trying to get in the office.
Notwithstanding his many eccentric
tiles he was a general favorite with
the common class of working men,
who sincerely believed him to be a
friend of the poor. All of his terms
of office as mayor of Tacoma were
characterized by much opposition,
and Fawcett always fought back and
gave as good as he received. His
foes all respected, if they did not
admire him. For the colored people
he had no especial interest and never
went out of his way to do them any
special good nor any special harm.
His idea of doing good to colored
people seemed to be to have one or
more editors on his payroll to boost
Fawcett and his policies other than
that he seemed to have no idea of
regarding them either for or against.
Mr.. w. T. Mccall and Mr.. Gus
tave B. Aldrich are among the speak
ers named by Mrs. N. j. Asberry for
the public schools during NEGRO
History" week.

Miss Eunice Bagley, II, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. S. Bagley who was
instantly killed in an automobile ac-
cident January z, was a student at

She was member of the Joymakers
and Christian Endeavor of Bethel A.
M. f. Church. Zion A. NJ. +. Chris
tian Endeavor Society and the Chrys-
tai Girl Reserves of the Williams
Ave. Y. w. C. A. A very brilliant
future was predicted for this we'll
loved girl. Her school class and the
members of the above organizations
attended her funeral services in a
body.
MIR. Alvin Miller, who accompan-
led Miss Bagley on the fatal ride was
a Benson Polytechnic student, grad
uating in the June '27 class as a ma
chinist. He lived only short time

we'll known Tacoma Tigers" here.
Denver Ed. Martin" was boxing
around here then and had great
following from lower Broadway, who
turned out with automobiles and fes-
tive dress to greet their hero. Tao
oma papers Immediately described
the affair as Tacoma's Colored "Soc-
iety Folks" This is manifestly un-
fair. Decent, law abiding colored
people are in the majority. They
spend what they earn here and earn
khat they spend and should be given
more consideration than has been
given in local news reports. Tacoma
Ledger, News, Tribune and Times do
not mean to do us wrong we know,
but do it Just the same. It is to be
hoped that the city editors of these
various papers will try to give the
decent citizens of color fairer show
in the future.

Jaw Chavis Kills Ed Garner

Quoting daily press reports, Ed
Garner was shot to death by Jay
Chavis a well known man along lower
Broadway sometime during Monday
afternoon and died at local hospit-
al about five hours later. Chavis
surrendered to the authorities
claiming that Garner had grasped
him by the coat tail and whirled him
around making motion as if to
draw gun. He is now in Jail
charged with LIST degree murder,
probably by the time this is pub
lished. Chavis gave his age as 40
while Garner was said to be about
81. 1t is reported that bad blood
had existed between the men for
some time.
Shock from his wounds added to
the fact that he was under the in
fluence of Intoxicating liquor at the
time, FASTENED the death of the
wounded man according to DR.. b..
Brown of the hospital staff. Five
times Chavis fired at Garner as the
latter sat on a bench in the front
room of a cigar store operated by
colored people and four bullets took
effect, three blowing through the
right thigh, while the fourth pierced
the wounded mans abdominal cavity.
No motive for the shooting has as
vet been uncovered by the authorities
and Chavis has refused to make
statement other than that he thought
Garner was about to draw a gun,
and a veil of silence has settled over
the locality regarding the occurance.
H. Traitor is also stopping at Ever

serves great credit for the care and
devotion she displayed toward her
black husband during his illness
No colored wife could have done
more under the circumstances than
she did for the sick man. who was
on her hands a long time. She came

What Is the best method of learn ing to play golf? Probably not the method most of us pursue, judging by the kind Of game We play. The average player has picked up the game such as he has acquired. If q man is apt at initiating this meth cd may do very well. If he began to learn the game early enough it will suffice, providing he has paid attention 10 the best players. Cad dies often learn the game by this method.
 But most players, who dig diyots on their faNorite course, never got d good start. They try to follow yari- ous instructions and golf hints but they have never arrived at d game entirely satisfactory to themselves. They may have taken lesson or two but they never learned it. They would not take the time to do so by practice. Now they are leary of pros
 The logical progression of the game calls for a drive. an approach and the butts. The showy and most interesting stroke is the drive. Every player wants to be a good driver. So he tries 10 learn that first.
 Yielding to the common demand. the professional teacher will start oif novice at driving. The young steTs pick it up quickly. The older men have a harder time. If they can't follow the pros instructions they adopt method that enables them 10 get the ball fairly we'll out.
 But is driving the first thing a player should learn? Is it good driv- ing or good approaches and accurate putting that win the most matches and keep down the medal scoreso Which would give you more confi- dense, to be sure of two hundred yard drive or four foot putt?
 There are plenty of good drivers. expert approaches are scarcer and accurate putters are very uncommon Let it IS the short shots rather than the long ones that save the most holes and strokes.
 For long time I have felt that golf was taught backwards. It is logical enough to teach driving first but for practical purposes 1t would seem as though it might be better to teach a beginner how to putt be- fore he took lessons in approaching. And by the same sign teach him to approach before he learned to drive.
 My viewpoint was confirmed the other day when I asked a canny pro- the question, If you had beginner to teach and you were free

WILL NOT ALLOW
 ELK|NS ON TEAM
Olympic Crew Will Not Be Changed Before Start Of Games

! Aboard s. S. President Roosevelt,
 En Route to Amsterdam, July Ii tP - The American Olympic track
 and field team as selected after the : final trials at Cambridge and Phila-
 delphia, will be entered in the in-
 ternational games at Amsterdam
 without any additions or subtrac-
 tions.
 This was definitely determined yesterday when the Olympic com-
 mittee rejected an appeal from the New York A. c. that Fait Ell1ins, be included on the American decathlon squad.
 Elkins was forced out of the final trials in the decathlon when he pull ed tendon in his leg. Feeling that the Indian could not recover in time | to compete at Amsterdam, the | Olympic selection committee left
 him of the squad of four which will represent America in the ten event test at Amsterdam. The team sailed without him but the New York A. C. entered a protest by radio declaring that Elkins had recovered and should be included on the team. 1 Major General Douglas Macarthur, chairman of the Olympic committee, ordered Elkins to make a test of his fitness in several events. If report on his performances was favorable, Macarthur said. his appeal would be considered.
 Tr .1 1fnp, lr> c, before he sailed for Europe early yesterday. He ran the 100 meters in 12 4-5 seconds and broad jump cd l9 feet 1 inches In form he has run the dash In fraction over II seconds and he has broad jumped over B feet.
 Taking thesa facts into consider ation. the Olympic committee an- nounced that the tests had conclu- sively demonstrated that Elkins had not recovered and would be of little value at Amsterdam. The poorest of the four men selected for the de- cathlon had done the 10 meters a full second better than Elkins did in his test and beat his broad jump by three feet.
 The adverse decision in Elkns' case left the Olympic committee free of protests for the first time since the ship sailed from New York. Previously the committee had turn ed down similar appeals by the New York A. C. on behalf of Norton Jackson, wrestler. Matt McGrath. hammer thrower. Weems Basckin. hurdler and Roland Locke, sprint CT.

AMUNDSEN IGNORED
Friends in Los Angeles Have Hin, as Their Absent Guest at Ills Own Birthday Party.

Los Angeles. July IT P-Two friends of Roald Amundsen last night carried out unique wish which the famous arctic explorer, now lost somewhere in the arctic, expressed on his last visit to Los Angeles.
 A table was set for three. On one side sat John Murphy. Los Angeles. attorney. Opposite him was Haakon H. Hammer, explorer and once a companion of Amundsen fin his arc tic jaunts. At the place of honor was vacant chair. It was draped with the Norwegian colors and sig nitied Amundsen's part in the affair.
 There was nothing elegiac about it. It was a birthday party. On his last visit here Amundsen re- quested his two friends to commem- crate his birthday this year at a dinner. "Regardless of where I am." He was born in Norway July 16. 1872.
 In a toast to Amundsen. Hammer expressed the belief that the explor- CT still was alive and that. as he had survived many hard arctic experi- ences. would come safely through his last venture. Ainundsen presu,n- ably became lost somewhere in the vicinity of Foyn Island while mak- ing an airplane search for members of the Mobile party.
