Recently rumors about the pastors
alleged straying from the straight

church and several of the church Of
flcers decided to investigate and find
out for themselves whether or not
there vas any truth to the reports.
They ~iaurneyed into Brooklyn and saw
several Brooklyn pastors who con-
hfrmed the report and said that the
Rev. Mr.. Jones had been placed on
probation by the court after he had
promised 70 pay $500 weekly for the

in Brooklyn for violation of his pro-
patton, said violation being for failure
ID keep up the weekly payments.
When called before the Justices, kew.
! Jones acknowledged the probation or
iIcer's report that he was behind in
mis- weekly payments and said that ne
had some SOD to pay on account. Inc
justices ordered the minister 10 pay
Whatever money he had on the ac-
count and ordered that hereafter Rev.
Jones pay $500 weekly instead OF
s4-Jv, AZ $1.00 in excess to apply to
the balance due TO date.
After making the payment Rev.
Jone4, as he was leaving the court,
Was asked by a reporter for The New
York Age if he would like to make
any statement for publication. The
minister said that he "had been
framed" by his enemies but other
than that had no statement to make.
He promised to make a statement on
Monday but up to the time this news
paper went to press had failed to do
so.
Barred From Brooklyn Pulpit
From reliable sources it was learned
that Rev. Jones had formerly acted as
assistant pastor at the Mt. Lebanan
Baptist Church, Brooklyn, of which
the Rev. j. William Hamlin is pastor.
While at that church he was only a
licentiate, according to Rev. Hamlin,
and had never been ordained. Rev.
Hamlin stated that Rev. Jones could
not in the future enter his church nor
ever enter his pulpit.
Asked the reason why, he stated
that several years ago while Rev.
Jones vas his assistant the congrega-
ton had given Rev. Jones money to
pay his tuition at Columbia Univers-
ity where he was said to have been
studying for his masters degree. At
the end of two years, Rev. Hamlin
said he asked Rev. Jones to see d.
ploma but that the assistant refused
to show it and that later investigation
revealed that Rev. Jones had never
enrolled at Columbia University and
had spent the money on himself.
Turned Out of Church
Before a council of ministers which
included Revs. Lomax, Eldridge, Bat
ten and Phillips, Rev. Jones is said to
have confessed that he had spent the
money on himself. After the council
heard Of his confession, Rev. Hamlin
said that he turned Rev. Jones out of
the church. Rev. Jones went south for
several months and later took over
the Second Baptist Church in Rock
vile Center.
Rev. Jones in speaking to The New
York Age reporter on Monday said
that he was married but that he was
seeking a divorce from his wife. He
said he had no intention of marrying
the girl in Brooklyn.

NEGROES NOT IN MAJOR
CRIMES
by R. A.. Adams
(The Literary Service Bureau)

Major crimes in this country are
making and selling strong drink a.
gainst the law; kidnapping for ran
som; bomb explosion and ruthless tax
ing of human life; murder plots like
Howard in West Virginia; fraud, and
nevertheless preying on the innocent
like Brinkley's goat-gland fake; mob
violence and lynching: sabotage and
arson; statutory crimes against min
ors and even little children; and BAN
ditry and burglary with the usual
sacrifice Of human life.
In all these lines of lawlessness the
Negro part is small and the white
mans enormously large. With the
exceptions of petty bootlegging and
minor holdups, the Negro hardly fig
ures in these major crimes; and that
fact is to his credit. The Negro is
bad enough; he commits too many
crimes at best; his percentage of
crime is far in excess of his percent
age Of population; nothing wrong on
his part is to be condoned, yet the
the Negroes strive for ever a better
record.
There are those among US who
foolishly say, eff white folks can do
So, we can too, but this is vicious
advice. Others reason enormously

went to the expense of some two hun
dred billions of dollars to make the
"world safe for Democracy"
Dwight Griswold's opponent claims
the depression was caused by legisla-
ton. Such a statement il an insult
to mes intelligence. A few years ago
there was an abnormal imitation of
land values in Florida, and a conse
quent crash. That unhappy exper-
fence would also be charged up
against Mr.. Hoover by his unfair
critics if he had been President at the
time.

One of the %silliest charges against
President Hoover is that he caused
the depression. The democrats would
have the people believe this. The de-
preston was under way in many of
the foreign countries before Hoover
took office. 1t began in this country
within seven months after he was in

and of long standing. In fact the

AKRON POISED FOR FLIGHT
FOLLOWING DEATH OF TWO
Pacific Fleet Maneuvers Await Dirigible
After Moorins Tragedy-Sailor
Clings Calmly to Rope.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SAN DIEGO, Calf, May 12.-The
Navy dirigible Akron today swung
calmly at anchor at Camp Kearney
Field, where two bluejackets were
killed In an attempt to moor her.
A third seaman, Charles Cowart,
dangled for two hours to q mooring
line yesterday before being hauled
aboard the worlds largest airship at
1000 feet.
Beset by storms in Southwest Texas,
forced to climb high over mountains,
the airship arrived here safely at got
to have tragedy climax its transcon-
tinental flight.
Air Strata blamed.
Peculiarly stratified air" was blamed
by Lieut.. Comdr. C. E. Rosendahl, mas
ter of the Akron, for the airship's sud-
den ascent after swapping its cable as
efforts were being made to moor it.
Two hundred hluejackets had hold
OF the lines dropped from the Akron
and were swinging 1t into position when
a peculiar" current of air caused the
big ship to swing upward. AL but three
OF the sailors let go of the ropes as
they felt themselves leaving the ground.
So sudden was the rise Of the Akron
that the three men who chung to the
ropes had reached dangerous height
before they realized their predicament.
At height Of about ITS feet one Of
the sailors lost his grip and fell to
earth. A few feet farther up another
of the trio gave out, and he, too, fell
TO the ground. Both were killed in
Stantly. They were Robert H. Edsall
Of South Bend, Ind, and Nigel Henton
of Fresno, Calf.
Cowart. 10, climbed up the rope un-
til he reached a "toggle"-a cross bar
of wood spliced between the rope. The
airship Unanswered, sometimes reach
ing height of $500 feet. Cowart
calmly sat on the toggle until members
Of the crew of the Akron could be
spared to pull him through hatch and
into the airship.

VETO
OF TARIFF STICKS.
Democrats Fail to Override
; Reiection-RilI Likely to
Be Campaign Issue.
Nv Ia. Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Vetoing the Democratic tariff bill
yesterday, President Hoover declared
himself for the time-honored Republic
an principle of high protection and,
In effect, took up the gage of battle
flung at him by the opposition party.
In the message of disapproval he
termed the measure bad both gen.
orally and specifically. He affirmed his
belief in the equity of the present fiex-
ible provision, under which the Presi-
dent has control of tariff rate changes,
and asserted that never in history did
the United States need protection more
than now.
Smell Calls fer Vote.
The veto promptly stuck. The Repub-
lican House leader. Representative
Smell, of New York, compelled record
vote. The Democrats, with slim ma
jority in that chamber, could not
muster anything like the two-thirds
needed to override, and the bill died.
The vote was 178 to 166 in favor of
overriding the veto
This was the expected result, antici-
pated from the time the bill was first
planned as a Democratic declaration
for lower tariffs and an indication of
WlfnI Vic pdIby HOH4O oCCh W NO UilOC
it came into power The outspoken
presidential declaration recorded the
acceptability Of the question as cam
paign issue to the Republican side.
Besides giving to Congress authority
to pass on rate changes recommended
by the Tariff Commission, the bill called
for an International conference to lower
world tariff walls and for trade agree
ments with individual nations under
which reciprocal tariff concessions would
be made. >;.-
Cites Previous Conferences.
President Hoover did approve the in
ternational conference idea, but con-
tended very little accomplishment"
had come out of such meets in the
past. He termed the preferential tariff
agreement idea "the very breeding
ground for trade wars" and the type of
thing that leads to international
entanglements of the first order"
The flexible provision change, he held,
removed protection against the 'orgy Of
politics and log-Fol1ing" which has
marked congressional tariff action In
the past.
But, above all, he declared 1t i'm
perative that the policy of q protective
tariff be maintained.
''As matter of fact" he said, there
has never been time in the history
of the United States when tariff pro-
tectien was more essential to the wei
fare of the American people than at
present Prices have declined through
out the world, but to a fsr greater
extent in other countries than In the
United States

POSTAL CUT FEARED
BUSINESS INJURY
President Of Clerks Association
Deplores Government Example"
in Public Statement.

Flat reduction Of 10 per cent in ap-
propriations for the Post Once De-
partment will result in a crippled serv-
ice, which will greatly hamper the res
toration and maintenance of business
prosperity in the United States, Thomas
F. Dolan. president Of the United Ma
tional Association Of Post Once Clerks,
declared in a statement made public
today.
There Is" Mr.. Dolan said, mo evi-
dent regard for resultant increased un-
employment, depleted incomes, broken
faith or the inevitable contributions to
the mounting tide Of unrest and dis.
trust. The example Of the Government.
which would be conceded by the masses
as a virtual admission of despair and
defeat would be fully utilized as the
hollow pretext for further dismissals,
curtallments and wage slashing in pri-
vate industry"
The Government has "an honorable
and binding obligation" to keep faith
with its employees, Dolan continued.
Such employees, he pointed out, are en-
couraged to enter the public service and
TO become efficient, with the assured
expectation of advancement In some
measure commensurate with the ims
portance of their. duties and the con-
stancy OF their application"
