GARvEY CONVENTION OPEN!
WITH PRAYER TO GOD AND
GENEVA
CRUSADER News Service)

Kingston, Jamaica, August.-Idle-
wise Park was packed with curious
natives this morning when the Sixth
Convention of the Universal Negro
Improvement Association opened
here with divine services, which was
attended by the Mayor and members
of the Kingston Corporation, who,
apparently agreed that so long as
the Garveyites contented themselves
with praying to God and petitioning
the imperialist League of Nations
no real action would be taken by
them towards the liberation of the
African races and therefore the op-
pressors need have no fear.
In the afternoon a procession of
10000 marched through the streets
with bands, banners and outriders.
Garvey strutted ahead in naval uni
form in memory of the defunct
Black Star Line. He was followed by
a line of Black Cross nurses, Boy
Scouts, girl guides, delegates to the
convention and many curious ma
tives.
1t is understood here that Garvey
intends making an appeal to the
League of Nations on behalf of
African liberation, ignoring or ig-
norant of the fact that the League
of Nations is an instrument Of the
imperialist powers which are ex-
plotting and expressing the African
natives and other Negro peoples.
For the first time in the history
of the U. N. 1. A. conventions an Or
ganized opposition has developed
against the policies of Marcus Gar
vey and today saw the crystalliza-
ton of that opposition as a power
full group which intends to fight to
the finish the policy of Garvey of
removing the headquarters of the
organization from New York to
Jamaica in the effort to keep the
organization under his personal con-
troll. The delegates opposed to this
policy are mainly from New York,
Chicago, and the South.

GRAND TREASURER OF ELKS
REVEALS ORDERS FINAN-
CIAL SHRINKAGE
(By the Associated Negro Press)

|
Chicago, ILL.,, Aug.-Charging the
Finley Wilson administration of Elk
affairs as having been utterly waste
full of the resources of the order and
declaring that the Elks grand treas
ury today had less than one thousand
dollars in the general fund, although
when Wilson was elected in 1922 it
had a bank account of more than
$4,000, James G.. Martin, grand
treasurer, in a statement issued to
the press here Tuesday, laid bare the
financial condition of the great
order.
Mr.. Martin made the report from
the records in his office, pointing out
that the money spent had been prop
erly paid on vouchers, but charging
that in many instances checks due
had been ordered by the Grand EX-
alted Ruler Wilson, sent to his office
in Washington rather than to the
payee. =.

said Mr. Martin, che found the
order in sound financial condition.

ing S49,2S6.5S. 1t is my opinion
that the reckless expenditures of
commissions and excessive personal
expenses and per diem items have
caused the skrinkage in the re-
sources of the organization, coupled
with the prodigal expenditures of the
members money on committees
created at the Grand Lodge by the
grand exalted ruler, to ingratiate
himself in the favor of sundry dele
gates, thus assuring his reelection.

TRADE IS BROADER
ON BOND MARKET
Less Attention Paid to High
Money Rate on 'Today's
Dealings.
BY CHARLES F. SPEARE.


Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 31.-There were
interesting movements today In more
groups of bonds and in more individual
issues than for some time, giving trading
q broader aspect, but continuation OF
the sharp division between speculative
and strictly investment securities.
Less attention was paid by the high
grade issues to 10 per cent call money
and to the rate Of 8l2 to 8a4 per cent
for time money than these facts seem
to warrant. A number of the first
grade rails and public utilities were
higher, as was a portion OF the United
States Government list. Movements in
these bonds, however, signify little, as
the floating supply is small and orders
for moderate amounts frequently send
up prices a point or more with sub
sequent reaction after the commission
has been filled by the broker.
Industrial Convertibles Move.
In the convertible issues attention was
drawn aEay from the public utility and
railroad stock option bonds to members
of the industrial domestic group and to
bonds that are convertible into stocks
of foreign corporations. International
Telephone and American Telephone
4ias were up ia to 334 points on mod
crate transa ctionS.
The leader in this division was
Philadelphia & Reading Coal & Iron
IS. which at one time showed a net
advance of points. They were II
points above the subscription price and
about 81 points up from their low level,
following the movement in the stock
into which they are convertible and
whose buoyancy reflects a radical
change recently in the status of this
romnanv Svpona thizipU with fhic RI
the extent of point advance were the
Hudson Coal SIS, which showed more
life than for several months. Reming-
ton Rand 5l2S and American Interna-
tional 512s were from "a to a point
higher.
In the foreign convertible list there
were active markets at higher level
in American l. G. Chemical 51as,
Kreuger & Toll SIS and Lautaro IS, the
last two getting higher than ever be-
fore and advancing l to 2 points.
Some Weak Foreign Issues.
The foreign department exhibited
some weak spots in the South American
section and also in the bonds of South
eastern Europe. japanese issues have
been heavy recently, with Toxic Electric
at new low price. This bond is now
at a discount of about points from
that originally fixed. It has had the
reputation for the past year of being
about the only high-grade dollar bond
that has held its original market.
The principal new offering today was
$5.000000 issue of 51a per cent con-
vertible bonds by the Standard Invest
ing Corporation. These are exchange
able into common stock on the basis of
20 shares of common for each $1,000
bond. Preliminary figures of July is
sues of bonds reflect the difficulty in
distributing fixed interest bearing Sc
curities during month in which the
average rate for call money was the
highest, with one exception, in about
nine years.

OLD LINERS
NEARPEAK
FOR VA.
BY Juno Kinerk

Standing pat on the team
that gave Y. NJ. |. such a whale
of a battle, Coach Curley Byrd,
Of Maryland, is pretty well
satisfied that his Old Liners
will not disappoint the home
coming crowd in Byrd Stadium
against Virginia.
"If the boys just continue to
play the kind Of football they
showed in Richmond, they'll give
the Cavaliers all they want" Coach
Byrd said.
While left unsaid, there's still
another potent reason to believe
that the Maryland eleven will live
week. This is the highly powerful
influence of m~ntai st;r'--'"t' - -
enables a team to rise to the
heights. The background for t.,.s.
of course, is that it's Homecoming
and that the team must win for
the old grads.
In addition to this it is the rub
ber' game of the series between the
two, each team having won two
games while another ended in a
6-to-6 tie. However, in the last
four meetings Virginia has won two
and lost only one the other being
the tie game, and the Old Liners
are anxious to wipe out this advana-
tage.
1t also Is the last home game
Of the season for MARYLAND.
