Pullman Porters To

NEW YORK.-That the Pullma
Company wholly upon its own an

porters TO LAY Off" one trip each
month, was revealed this weel1.
Not only will each lay-off be
without pay. but the company has
cut down assignment to road service

according to Ashley d. Totten gen.
eral secretary-treasurer Of Tho Pull

Mr.. Totten alleges that the con

Convinced of the fact that the Pull

Congress Slashes
Half Million From
Howard University

WASHINGTON - lCNS) - Re-
porting out of committee the approp-
ration bill for the Department of In
terror last week. the Appropriations
Committee of the House of Repre-
sentatives, Topped off $535,000 of
the 100000 approved by the Uni
ted States Budget Bureau for How
ard university expenditures for the
fiscal year 1928. The amount
recommended by the committee for
the institution was $1,075,000 or
S4S5,000 less than the amount appro-
priated by Congress last year. In
asmuch as most of the money cut
from the approved budget refers to
building projects, authorities of the
university expressed the belief that
the action of Congress would not ma
terially hamper the activity of the
school during the next fiscal year.
However, Secretary Wilbur OF
the Interior Department was vigor
Gus in his criticism of the budgetary
reductions. Speaking of the How
ard university Appropriations he
said: This is trimming exactly 81
per cent. The cuts include among
others, a $4,000 reductions in sal
aries"
The biggest cut in the appropria
ton was one of 100000 from al
approved budget of 100000 fol
construction of library. Previous
appropriations from Congress TO
this purpose total the amount o
100000. With the additions
800, 900, there will be ample fund
to begin the library project whicl
is not expected to be completed nn
til 1885. The effect of this cut
simply to postpone the appropria
ton of monies to which Congress ha
already committed itself.

Negro Sculptor Gives
Exhibit In New York

NEW YORK.-Having opened on
Monday, at the Caz-Detbo Gallery,
on Fashionable Madison Avenue, the
exhibition of sculpture by Richmond
Barthe, formerly of Chicago, will
continue until the end of February.
His pieces are being exhibited along
with those of the noted artist, Foraln.
And art critics consider this joint
exhibit one one of the most import
ant of the season.
Although Mr.. Barthe has had his
sculpture exhibited several times in
Chicago, this is his first one-man
show in New York. And, although
his work shows definite promise, 1t
still lacks the individuality of great
art.
In 1929 Mr.. Barthe won the Har.
mon Award for his Tortured Ne.
pro.v He was born in Mississippi
and reared in New Orleans. But a
an early age he went to Chicago
where he entered the Chicago Ar
Institute, completing a four-yeal
course in painting.
II was not until he had finished hi
course that he decided to become
sculptor. Later he won Rosenwal.
Fellowship and came to New fori
to work and study.

Several Heirs
File Claim For
Rich Oil Lands

WEWOKA, okla.-After a weeks
hearing of the claim of rival Ray
mond Jacksons for their share in the
rich oil estate belonging to Raymond
Jackson, the famous case is nearing
an end.
The Raymond Jackson case is uni
que. strange-and then some more;
it scarcely has a parallel in many re-
speets. Back in 1903, May 2, to be
exact, there was born to Davis and
Rhina Jackson a son who was named
Raymond. There were eight other
children born to these two parents.
The Jackson family is one of six
boys and three girls.
On October 20, 1921, the parents
and the other children allege that
Raymond left home-hundreds OF
Wewokans bear witness to the same.
Raymond is said to have had Pine
Bluff, Arkansas, as his destination.
Several other boys ran away from
home at the same time. 1t seems
that they all were beating their way
on freights and Raymond is reported
to have been killed between Blue
Mountain and Bonneville, Arkansas,
November 8, 1921.
The parents and children attest
| to this, as do also divers dispositions
by Arkansas and the Rock Island
r. r.. on which Raymond was killed
The body was not Immediately re.
turned home here. but was buried
along the Rock Island right-of-way
Awarded Oil Land
Being the son of Seminole freed
man, Raymond was allotted forty
acres of oil land-that is, land which
later was found to possess rich OF
deposits. The other boys-most Of
them returned home. Raymond be
ing dend, did not. The parents nat
urally took possession of Raymond
allotment.
Meantime, scores OF Raymond
bobbed up all over the West-an,
from as far East as 'Ole Kertuck.
Each Raymond filed as an interven
or and claimed to be the real Ray
nond jackson, who departed. TIL
parents said "Impossible." The bod
of the Inflated Raymond was ex
humed, brought to Wewoka and Blu
led in the Jackson family cemeter
dot.
Denial, claim and counter denia
and claim followed. Many of tn
Raymonds failed to show up for coui
, when the date was at hand. Near
, time, two Raymonds, one from 'Ol
kentucky and the other from ia
= away California, dared face the pal
enis and claim them as their owl
S The parents denied them as did the

Several scores of co1ored families

: Better OFF South

NEW YORK.-A warning of op-

to a plan to return Negroes from
northern cities to southern farms,
has been sent to President Hoover
and to leaders in the Senate and
House of Representatives, by the Ma

The project, outlined in a special
