son Most American Negroes be-
lieve that Jesus Christ was white,
although there is no historical evil
dence to justify such a view. Ernest
Renan, the great French theologian,
in his classic Life of Jesus" de-
clined committing himself upon the
racial identity of Jesus.
"The province of Galilee," says
Renan, Counted amongst its inhab-
itants in the time of Jesus, many
who were not Jews (Phoenicians,
Syrians, Arabs, and even Greeks.)
The conversions to Judaism were
not rare in these mixed countries.

here any question of race, and to
seek to ascertain what blood flowed

POLICE Gu B
COMMUNISTS in
HARLEM PARADE

NEW YORK.-Harlem looked on
last Saturday while workers led by
the Communists, and police staged
running battle extending from 140th
Street and Lenox Avenue to 135th
Street.
Men and women we're knocked
down from the blows of the clubs,
placards were wrenched from their
hands and a speakers stand demol-
ished. Many of the policemen were
colored as were also large number
of the Communists.
Thousands rushed to the scene of
the riot booing and kissing the fight
ing police. Women leaned out of
their windows to hurl taunts at the
police.
The workers had been called to
participate in a parade arranged by
the international Labor Defense and
the League of Struggle for Negro
Rights to protest against the legal
lynching of nine youths at Scots
boro Ala.
Groups Sure of Frame-Up
Both organizations have been as
sured that the death sentences are
Unjust and that the attack charges
are a frame-up.
g'ke workers carried signs bearing
such slogans as: Smash Scottsboro
Frame-Up"; Demand a New Triap';
death to Lynchers", and "Stop the
Legal Lynching of Nine Alabama
Boys"
Allen Taub and Charles Brodsky,
attorneys, both white, have just re-
turned from Alabama where they
held consultation with the youths
and filed for . new trial.
Denied Permit
Despite the fact that no permit
was issued, the workers decided to
carry on. eve DON'T give a damn
what they say, we're going to pa
rade and demonstrate anyway"

had roared its approval of holding
the parade.
Mrs. Patterson Here
Among those in the crowd was
Mrs. Jane Patterson, of Chattanoo-
"a, Tenn, mother of Haywood Pat
terson, II, one of the condemned
youths, who was to have spoken at
the meeting.
Mrs. Patterson arrived at Pennsyl-
sania Station on Friday night and
was met by delegation. One of
Them made an address from the steps
of the station denouncing the forth
coming electrocution after which
they escorted the mother to st.
Luke's Hall where she addressed sew
eral hundred workers.

but what evidence have we? That is
the question. Kersey Graves, an
American scholar, threw a bombshell
into the ecclesiastical camp in 1877,
in the first edition of his worlds
Sixteen Crucified Saviors," by way
of the following passage:
"There is as much evidence that
the Christian Savior was black man
or at least a dark man, as there is Of
his being the son Of the Virgin
Mary, or that he once lived and
moved upon the earth. And that
evidence is the testimony Of his dis
ciples, who had nearly as good an OPP
portunity Of knowing what his com
plexion was as the evangelists, who
omit to say anything about it.
In the pictures and portraits Of
Christ, by the early Christians, he is
uniformly represented as being
black. And to make this the more
certain the red tinge is given to the
lips.

27 INSURANCE
COMPANIES HAVE
1868 EMPLOYEES

HOT SPRINGS, Ark.-Among the
most interesting reports submitted at
the annual meeting of the National
Insurance Association, in session
here during the past week was that
Of the statistician, Charles A. Shaw,
of the Victory Life Insurance Com
pany.
Mr.. Shaw pointed out that there
are fifty-two companies operating in
the states of Georgia, Florida, Ohio,
Indiana, Arkansas, Louisiana, Ken
lucky, North Carolina, District of
Columbia, New Jersey, New York and
Texas. Letters were sent to these
companies in which a QUESTIONABLE
was inclosed.
"A special effort was made to
secure the report of the National
Benefit Life Insurance Company,
principally because of the volume of
business it has and of our desire to
make this report as inclusive as pos
sible. Our effort, however, to secure
their cooperation was unsuccessful"
Mr.. Shaw said.
The report follows:
Twenty seven companies report
gross assets of $14,650, 629.
Twenty-four companies report to-
tal liabilities of $11,413,281.
Twenty-one companies report cap
ital and surplus of $2,374,611.
Twenty-seven companies report to.
tai income of $13, 500.
Twenty-seven companies report to-
tai disbursements of $12,772,042.
Twenty-six companies report total
insurance in force of $205,335,433.
"The item of real estate loans rep
resents very definite contribution
on the part of our companies to. the
economic well-being of our group.
particularly when it is taken into
consideration that many of the ave.
nues which heretofore have been
open to the Negro for such loans are
now closed and it is becoming in
creasingly difficult to finance and
refinance our real property invest
ments,"
That the insurance companies are
aiding materially in reducing unem-
ployment and in raising the econom
ic status of the group are indicated
in the report that 25 companies en-
rloy It's officers, 535 home office
employees, 5S2 branch office en-
ployees, 1895 agents, and 1,692 med
ical examiners, making a total of T.
383 persons.
While these figures are encourag-
irg, Mr.. Shaw took the occasion to
point out the vast number of people
who might be employed if the Ne
gro companies received their right
full share of the business, showing
that Negroes paid $19,000,00O to
their own companies and more than
S70,000,000 to white companies.

SCHOOL DRAWS
COLOR Line in
TOLEDO, OHIO

TOLEDO, Ohio.---Long shoulder
ing race prejudice famed up hero
last week when thirty Negro stu
dents were refused tickets to attend
an annual school social function at
the University of Toledo.
Although the thirty students had
signed up for the affair, the use of
separate slips allowed some of those
conducting the affair to exclude all
Negro students.
Faculty Silent
More than 1000 white students
participated by their silence in the
setting up of the color line, and
members Of the faculty did nothing
to correct a wrong which they knew
was done solely TO keep the colored
students from the affair, it was said.
Someone had deliberately destroyed
the slips upon which the colored stu
dents had signified their intention
Of attending the affair.
When it was found that few of
the students whose names had later
been placed on the list had been de-
liberately scratched out, the Negro
students took the matter up with
Dean G. f. Evans, white. Although
this official promised to make some
investigation of the matter, he has
remained silent. The dean came to
the university from a Southern
school and is said to vmpathize
with the attitude Of the ST. snts who
foster race prejudice.
Ousted From Council
An example of the race prejudice
allowed to operate against Negro stu
dents was shown recently when Ber-
nard Squires, a senior, appointed as
member of the student council,
was BUSTED by the council. Squires,
who had been an "a" student and
fraternity man at Ohio State Uni
yersity, was admittedly one of the
most brilliant students of the Uni
yersity but white members of the
council protested against him and the
faculty winked at the show of pre-
JUDGE. No Negro student has been
allowed to serve on the council.
The operation Of prejudice has
been intensified by the fact that the
school body moved some time ago
into the new plant. Negro leaders
here are up in arms at the humilia-
ton piled upon colored students at
the university.

Lad Loses Life
For White Baby

NEW YORK.-Charlie Murray,
13, public school No. 100 pupil,
made himself a candidate for the
roll of heroes by swapping his life
for that of white baby at l5oth
Street and Amsterdam Avenue
last Saturday.
Seeing the sudden danger the
baby faced as a white woman driv-
err, trying to avoid striking a
truck, was heading directly to-
ward its carriage, young Murray
lunged forward and showed the
carriage out of the path of the
car.
He saved the child, but the on
rushing machine jammed him
against an iron post before he
could get out of the way himself
and he died few minutes after
giving his name and address.

COMMITTEE TO
STUDY HOUSING

WASHINGTON, d. C.-The first
session of the Committee on Negro
housing of the Presidents Confer
ence. on Home Building and Home
Ownership was called to order, Fri
day by its chairman, Miss Mamie H.
Burroughs, and proceeded to organ
ize for its. work.
Secretary of Commerce Lamont
greeted the assembly, and in addi-
ton read message from President
Hoover dealing with the general con-

Prompted by fine spirit of pub

today to consider what program may
be devised to improve conditions of
housing for our colored citizens. This
committee is one of many special
committees, each of which is charg-
ed with some important phase of the
broad problem of home building and
home ownership.
"Since the health and welfare Of
all citizens, and particularly of chill
dren, are vitality affected by condi-
tons of housing and home life, your
committee has unselfishly under
taken to give careful consideration
to urgent questions which affect di-
rectly the welfare of more than ten
million persons.
at is my hope that you, who are
among the acknowledged leaders of
your race, may find in the work of
this committee an opportunity to car
nv the study of this subject farther
than it has been carried before, and
that your recommendation may help
to coordinate and direct the forces
which will lead to more rapid solu-
ton of the important problems of
housing with which you are concern
ed"
Statement by Secretary Lamont
"This is one Of the approximately
thirty committees of the Presidents

charged with making study of some
segment Of the problem of housing

guilty was brought in and the

WOMAN LAWYER
ARGUES CASE in
SUPREME COURT

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. - The au-
gust chamber of the Supreme Court
of pennsylvania on Griday saw a
brown-skin girl arguing an appeal
before full assembled bench of the
highest court in this state.
The fact that one of the clients
represented by this girl lawyer was a
large Philadelphia National Bank,
and her opponent none other than
The United States Veterans Bureau,
represented by eminent Government
counsel, added to the significance
of the occasion.
DIR. Sadie T. Mossell Alexander,
G lawyer, is wife of Raymond Pace
Alexander, president of the National
Bar Association.
Mrs. Alexander read a twenty
eight page printed brief and address
sed the court for a period of thirty
five minutes.
She spoke in a calm, steady tone
and seemed unmindful of the signif-
icance of the occasion. She won
the undivided attention of the seven
justices. The dignity and impress
siveness of the scene was heightened
by the presence of a large group
counsel awaiting their turn at the
bar.
Second Attempt
The appeal before the Supreme
Court marked the second attempt on
the part of the government to have
set aside a decision, won by Mrs.
Alexander in the Orphans Court of
Philadelphia, which recognized Sam
uel Coley, a deceased world war vet
eran and as such, entitled to the
$4,000 which the court ordered
paid to him by the Veterans Bureau.
The Director of the Veterans Blu
reau, after having paid part of the
sum in monthly installments over 8
period of two years, suddenly stop.
ped payments and demanded the re.
turn of the money already paid, de.
claring that he, as director, had de-
cided that Samuel Coley was not the
son of Fireman Coley.
Mrs. Alexander contended that the
action of the director was arbitrary
and capricious and that his ruling
had no effect on the Orphans Court,
which alone has the power to review
or reverse a decision made by it.
Sustained
The Orphans Court and the Su-
perior Court sustained Mrs. Alex
ander's point and ruled that any
claim of Samuel Coley should have
been submitted to the Orphans Court
for review. Counsel for the govern
men appealed to the Supreme Court
whose decision is expected to be
handed down within a month.

CUBAN PATRIOT
REAL FATHER OF
BANISHED KING

NEW YORK.-(By William Pick
ems for Associated Negro Press). -
The most recently discarded king of
Europe is Negro-child of Negro
man and white woman-what they
would call in Mississippi something
unprintable.
His official father was, of course,
the invalid king, husband of his
mother. You will notice that this
ex-king is called "the last of his line"
and the "best of his line. That is
rich, because the cline" of which
they speak had nothing to do with
the production of him, except in a
social way.
He, has the intelligence, force,
character, and health and strength of
his remarkable mother and his equal
ly, natural father, and no whit of in
heritance from the invalid and di-
seased king who was really the
"last" of the line spoken of, ex-
cept the inheritance of the throne
and the fortune.
The young king was born after
the official father had died, but not
so long after but that everything was
perfectly legal and allowable.
Real Father Alive
The real Negro father is still alive
and is today recognized as one of the
greatest men of his island country,
although above eighty years of age.
