Preacher Arrested For
Murder of Undertaken


AUSTIN, Texas.-While the mys-
terry surrounding the death ride" of
N. W. Rhambo, prominent undertake
er, yet is unsolved, arrest of three
persons, one of them an Austin
pastor, created interest here this
week.
Those arrested were the Rev. M.
Harrington, pastor of First Baptist
Church; Carl Stewart, embalmer,
and young woman said to be the
stenographer in the Rhambo funeral
establishment.
The body of the mortician was
found riddled with bullets on Carsi-
cana Highway in an abandoned car.
Police say that Stewart admits hay-
ing been in the automobile during
the death ride, but refuses to
make a statement which will clear
up the killing.
Just what part the pastor ana
stenographer might have had in the
killing has not been revealed by the
officers.

Dixie Prohibition Excuse

Now that prohibition, as is, is on
the retreat after the blows of both
the Republican and Democratic con
ventions, it was surprising to find
an editorial in the st. Louis Post
Dispatch explaining that the South
had prohibition because of the Ne
gro. The truth is that the South has
used the Negro for several unortho-
dox causes. Since the South has had
prohibition there has been no de-
crease in its high homicide rate, with
Memphis, Atlanta and Birmingham
yet leading the cities by big mar
gin as the most murderous.
Of course, the South never has
been dry as the result of its self
inflicted prohibition nor thai of the
Federal government, but as in its
politics it successfully has made a
bugbear and fetish of the NEGRO"
when it wished to accomplish GER
tain ends. What the South should
have done during all its wasteful
prohibition, years is to have provided
its large illterate Negro ard white
population with school facilities and
common justice in the courts as the
real step toward egenuine temper
ance. 1t simply has been fooling
itself about the Negro.

Colonel Davis
Son Enters
West Point

NEW YORK CITY.-(CNS)-B,
o. Davis Jr., son of Colonel Benja-
min o. Davis, ranking Negro officer
in the United States Army, was adj
mitted to West Point Friday.
The young cadet was named as a
candidate to the military academy
by Representative Oscar De Priest,
Republican of Illinois. At that time
Davis was studying at Northwestern
University, where he had been at
tending school for the last two years,
following his graduation from a
Cleveland high school.
Davis is the second colored youth
to enter West Point in 80 years
The other, Aionzo Parham, who was
admitted in June, 1929, failed in
mathematics at the end of the spring
midterm in 1880.
The last colored officer to be
graduated from West Point was
Colonel Charles Young. Colonel Da-
Wis, now in France conducting the
1882 contingent of Gold Star Moth
ers, rose to his present position
from the ranks. He did not attend
West Point.

Convention Moratorium

Word that the grand lodge COM
mittee of the I, B. p. o. Elks of
the World had requested that the
1892 convention scheduled for Los
Angeles. California. be postponed,
was met with rejoicing and misgiv-
ings in various sections of the coun-
try.
II the resolution asking that the
meeting be cancelled is carried out,
it will be the most sensible thing
that the Elks have ever done.
As a rule secret orders conven-
tions never accomplish anything
worth while and are generally more
of liability than. an asset.
If the Elks' heads had permitted
their foolhardy membership that
runs into the thousands, to trek
across the country for a couple of
days of pleasure, they would have
been unworthy of the very meager
respect that they now command.
Seventy per cent of the member
ship is on the east side of the
Rockies. Nearly all of the grand
sofficers are on that side of the
Rockies. In fact, most of them are
:neighbors in Washington. They
could have a little smoker, spend
about seven or eight dollars on re-
freshments, map out their plans of
exploitation, re-elect Finley Wilson
for another term and forget all
about it,
This would be much better than
dragging half the male population
across the country to accomplish no
more than enumerated above.
The California ,Elks show wisdom
by cancelling the convention. II the
crest of the fraternal clan show the
same good judgment and call off
their conventions and declare a NOR
'atorium for the next ten years, the
Negro race might accidentally get
some place in spite of itself.

Pythian Officers
Charged With
$l25,00O Theft

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. r. A.

urer; l.. B. Kigh, former chairman
of the board of endowment; w. H.
Brazier, former grand keeper of
records and seals; Morris Smith, for
mer endowment secretary; E. A..
Brown, ex-grand attorney, and R. L..
Mabry, former grand master of ex-
chequer, generally known as the
treasurer of the grand lodge depart
ment, were charged in a suit filed
here last Saturday with the misap-
preparation and misuse of $125, 900
of endowment funds of the Knights
of Pythias.
The suit followed the Alabama
supreme courts decision overruling
all contentious of the old administra-
ton and directing the former re-
ceiver to turn over $4,000 to the
new administration of the Knights of
Pythias in this state and nearly
$4,000 misappropriated and unlaw-
fully spent by the former receiver
and his agents in the state.
Although the auditors reports
show that some $249,OO0 has been
misappropriated, the institution is
one of the strongest in America. 1t
has cash and properties estimated to
be worth more than $650,000, with
savings accounts amounting to $47,-
600.
The grand chancellor reported last
Tuesday that during his ID months
in office he had paid to widows and
other beneficiaries of deceased men,
bers nearly $4,000; that the five
story building in the main section
of downtown Birmingham is free of
encumbrance, as we'll as the hotel in
the same district, and the farm of
two hundred acres in Montgomery
County.

'Don'ts' For Politicians

Now that this is open season on
the voters and the colored audiences
are lending their ears to variety
of candidates, few suggestions to
the speakers are in order,
l. Don't start out by telling of
the wonderful progress" the Negro
has made since slavery. We have
heard that line Of palaver from each
January orator and from political
speakers since 1890. And what prog
ress we have made has been normal
under the conditions rather than
wonderful. In fact, have we made
as much as we should have!
2. If a speaker wants to receive
round of groans and jeers Tin
ward if not audible) just start tell
ing one of those 81 had . black
/ nanny. stories or some joke fea-
turing some Legendary raeiai weak
I ness. Should a candidate perchance
have had BLACK mammJ", don't
; air it before colored audience, for
full faith and credit will not be
!. given the speaker no matter how
well meaning he is.
+ 3. Watch out for that phrase
"your people. 1t sounds like coun-
/. terfeit quarter with hole in it..
Just keep in mind the first words
of our Constitution of the United
states-'We, the people
d. And. in public address Cor pri-
vate conversation colored men re-
sent being referred to as boys.
5. Don't patronize. Tall. straight
from the shoulder on issues and
needs of American citizens and your
stock with a colored audience will
: go up. If you have special measures
or matters pertaining 10 colored
constituents, speak them without
pomp or condescension, without kid
/ gloves or a blacksmith's tongs.
These may not be all the "don'ts'
but they are vital TO those candi-
dates who want to register on the
plus side of their colored hearers.

Dixie College
Teacher Takes
His Own Life

MEMPHIS, Tenn. - "Tred and
gone to Jupiter for a rest Fooled
by fools-think of it :. Be back in
a couple thousand years"
Leaving that laconic observation
behind for eulogists to go to work
on, Dr. Charles H. Condell, 50-year-
old black Englishman and professor
at LeMoyne College, passed away
some time between Tuesday and
Wednesday morning, when his body
was found slumped down in bed at
his home, TIA Edith, with two self
inflicted bullet wounds in his heart.
The suicide was discovered bv
Professor Boris Alexander, dean of
LeMoyne summer school, and DR.. O..
b. Braithwaite, dentist, fellow
West Indian and personal friend of
DR.. Condell the last l 5 years.
Educated at Cambridge, Oxford
and the University of Chicago, DR..
Condell was regarded as one of the
leading Negro educators in the south.
He was the holder of numerous fell
lowships in English societies and
recently had been rendered the chair
of mathematics at the University of
Bombay, India.
Almost as strange as the suicide
note of Professor Condell was his
will, which left his many books and
bookcases, together with 5000. to
Alzora f. Haste, with the request
that no books beloaned out or given
away. The requests are a reward for
secretarial services.
Rita Braithwaite is TO receive the
residue of the estate, after other
requests, as a mark Of admiration
for her modesty"
Hannah Atwood is to have a piano
and 500 because she wrote the most
eonsoling letter on the death of Pro
fessor Condell's wife. Lucy Ann
Haste receives the home at ia
Edith because of her interest and
motherly care. The estate was esti-
mated mt $4,000.

Poems For Your Scrap Book
What Is Life?
DIN GrIffith Alexandcr

What's. life? A story or a song;
race on any track;
gay adventure short or long,
puzzling nut to crack
A grinding task; pleasant stroll;
A climb a slide down HILL
A constant striving for goal;
cake; bitter pill;
pit where fortune flouts or stings;
playground full of fun
With many any of these things;
With others all in one.
What's life? To love the things we see;
The hills that touch the skies;
The smiling sea; the Laughing lea;
The light in woman's eyes;
To work and love the work we do:
TO play game that's square;
To grin bit when feeling blue:
With friends our joys to share:
To smile, though games be lost or won;
To earn our daily bread
And when at last the day is done
To tumble into bed.

Automatic Business Upturn
Predicted to Meet
Demand.
BY RICHARD L. GRIDLEY
United Press Financial Writer
1882. by United Press

tCOpYrlgnJ. 1857. DIV united PreSS1
NEW YORK, July REPRODUCTION
in many of Americas leading in
dustries has dropped to such a low
level, that experts predict an auto
matte" production increase to meet
the demand for necessities, the
United Press learned today.
Production in some industries is
far below tie actual needs of the
American people as computed on
the basis of consumption over the
past ten years.
If Americans hold their recently
acquired necessities, the family
automobile, the electrical re-
frigerator, and the econom-
lists insist that the upturn in bust
ness can not be far away.
Sociologists equally are insistent
that the people will maintain those
articles that were once classified as
''luXuries."
Activity in all the major indus
tries in the first half of this year
was well below what was necessary
to keep the American people sup
piled with essentials on the scale of
the postwar period. Greater recess
sions were forced in some smaller
industries, notably radio and rail-
road equipment. Electrical refrige-
ration, food, cosmetics and tobacco
suffered less than the average. The
important oil industry has not been
affected recently.
Among the larger industries in
which the def1ation has gone to ex-
tremeS are building and steel. The
automobile industry is hit severely
because many car owners are driving
their machines several additional
years instead of junking them The
same is true of the radio industry
An economist of F.. w. Dodge
Corporation, building analysts, states
that costs of homes are too high for
current incomes and that some
revolutionary idea like the low-cost
steel home might cause a sweeping
change in conditions and lead to
greater ACTIVITY IN the building in
dustry.
j. P. Morgan, former chairman
of the United States Steel Corpo-
ration, in his annual report for 1881,
said:
1T seems reasonable to suppose
that on the basis of average de-
mands in the United States for
steel products during the last ten
years. the requirements of this
country for maintenance and cur
rent uses alone, exclusive of de-
velopment and expansion, should
call for steel products in consider
ably greater tonnage than was con-
sumed in 1881"
