FAVOR|TES

AUGUSTA, Ca, March 31.-
An army of professional shooters,
mingled with a handful Of anna
teurS led by the peerless Bobby
Jones, national open champion,
today began a 36-hole trek
around the hill and dollar-studded
Augusta country club course In
the first leg of the 72-hole south
eastern open.
All the star money performers
were here, except Walter Hagen,
Wild Bill Melhorn, the Pensacola
professional who recently won
the rich Lagorge open, Leo Diegel
and Tommy Armour. All in all,
the professionals entered in the
tourney number three score or
more.
Heading the money boys was
young Horton Smith, who now
signs himself from CragSton, N.
Y, and is headed straight for the
second big battle Of the year
with the Atlanta golfing attorney.
In the recent Savannah, Ca,
open Smith noSed out the nation
al open champion by one stroke
in a long, gruelling duel.
Since then, however, Jones
has been practicing with a
certain amount of regularity
over the East Lake course in
Atlanta, and he was ready
today to aVenge that singing
defeat. ~
Despite recent "crick" in his
shoulder that has not entirely
disappeared, Jones demonstrated
that he was in his best form
yesterday when he showed a SO
in a practice round over the for
rest Hills-Ricker c@GrSe here,
where the final 36 holes of the
tourney will be played.
Paul Runyan, the dark horse,
who won the North and South
open the other day, is also on
hand in the hope Of crashing
into the money again. He had q
73 and a "a for the days prac-
tice yesterday.
The 70 low qualifiers in today's
play will enter the 36-hole finals
tomorrow.

Denounce Crimes
Against Negroes
Tragic Hubert Case Brings Out
Many Expressins of Good Will
Raising Funds To Replace Home

Atlanta, Ga, July 21-On theeve
of trial of six men charged with the
murder of Dennis Hubert, young
Morehouse College student, many
prominent white citizens of Atlanta
yesterday issued a public statement
declaring their confidence in HUI
bert's innocence of any offense, ex-
pressing execration of the crime, and
urging that the public of Atlanta
expires sits good will by raising a
fund to restore the house of young
Hubert's father, Rev. G. j. Hubert,
which was destroyed by fire shortly
after the murder.
The appeal was addressed espec-
tally to the religious leaders of the
community and the matter wos pre-
sented in a number of the churches
yesterday and subscriptions were ia
ken toward the desired fund. John
a. Manget, long conspicuous for
active and courageous interest in
Negro justice and welfare, is acting
as treasurer of the fund.
On the same day the local inter-
racial committee issueda statement
setting out the several incidents in
the series of crimes beginning with
the death of young Hubert, and
calling upon the citizens to repudi-
ate these outrages and use their in
fuence- to see that the perpetrators
are brought to justice.
These statements, together with a
story of the whole series of events
and the approaching trial, were fea-
tured on the first page of the Sun
day Constitution. The Constitution
carried also as its leading editorial,
entitled "Shaming the City," one Of
the severest indictments of such in
justice I've. 'lritten. These acts of
lawlessness, 8 cording to The Con-
stitution, Outrage the character and
spirit of the citiznehip of Atlanta"
and are the vicious deeds of a few
constituencies persons moved by IA
cal tolerance.
"The perpetrators of this outrage
must be identified and made to pay
the penalty in full" the Constitution
continues. "The white and colored
-peopl eof Atlanta have established
relations of peace and cooperation
that must not be broken down by the
bloody hands of irresponsible and
law-defying hoodlums.'
At their weekly meetings the
Methodist preachers of the Getty
adopted resolutions expressing pro-
found regret for the "recent out
RACES" and condemnation of such
unlawful and villainous conduct"
while the Observation-Disclosures Chris
tan Council commended most highly
the Constitutions vigorous demand
for justice. The outcome of the trial
is being awaited with great inter-
est.

Life Sentence In
Va. Murder Case
Reduced to Is Yrs.

New York, July 49, Thomas Nelson, of
Charlottesville, Virginia, charged with
The murder of white woman in August,
1927, was a second time found guilty on
July 18th and sentenced to twenty-five
years in prison. Previously, Nelson,
who is a colored man, had been found
guilty and sentenced to life imprison-
ment. The previous conviction had
been appealed by attorneys retained by
the National Association for the Asso-
citation for the Advancement of Color
ed People and the Virginia State Su-
prefe Court had reversed the first con-
viction on the ground that the evidence
against Nelson had not justified the YER
dict of guilty.
Allen, a white man, was found dead
with five bullet-holes in his chest in
August 1927 and his business partner, a
seventy-five-old woman, was found NOR
tally wounded at her home on the same
night. The woman died before regain
ing ro1scioueness.
A number of Negroes were arrested,
charged with the crime, and three of
them indicted. Grant Thompson and
his wife, Mrs. Alice Thompson, were
never tried, the case being nolle-prossed
in October, 1928. Nelson thereupon
was tried and found guilty. Because
of Nelson's high character and especial
ly because of evidence which cast grave
doubts upon his guilt, the N. A. A. C. P.
assisted Nelson both in getting reversed
by the State Supreme Court and in the
new trial, thus gained, assistance being
rendered by the N. A. A. C. P. both in
contributions to the fees of local attor-
neys and through the aid of its National
Legal Committee.
In making public the results of the
new trial the n A. A. C. P expressed
the determination to continue its efforts
in Nelson's behalf. To date the Advan-
cement Association has contributed $500
towards attorneys fees and costs of the
trials.

WRITER SCORE SEGREGATION OF
GOLD STAR MOTHERS

New Yrrk, July 25- Protest against the
sending of colored Gold Star Mothers
to France in a segregated group, on a
combined freight and passenger boat,
has not ended with their departure on
July II, Mrs. Walter Ferguson, well kno
wn columnist whose articles appear in
the twenty-six newspapers of the Scrip
s-Howard chain, has this to say of the
discrimination, as white person:
Just why it was thought necessary
to discriminate against the Negro gold
star mothers in the matter of cheaper
passage, slower boats and less comfort
table housing while in New York City
it is indeed difficult to understand. o.
the $50 Negro women who were to have
visited the graves of their sons in Franc
all but a few cancelled until they reach
ed foreign shows.
"It is unlikely that the French, who
are polite and thoughtful people,
would have set up such caste lines IN Tn
matter of receiving them. Regardless
of how deep ones prejudice may be on
the race question, here is an instance
it would seem, when color should have
been entirely forgotten. The black
man who fights and dies for America
merits the same high praise, the same
monument and the same hero worship
that is given to his white brother.
"What travesty upon democracy is
this! These black boys are entrained
and told they must help save this mag
nificient thing called democracy To-
day they sleep forever, far from their
belovedlevees, their Harlem and their
cotton fields. Few Of them understood
