GAVE ONE MILLION!

John Mckee, of Philadelphia, was
Negro barber, and a member of
the A. M. E. church. But nobody
thought anything about him. He
was only a barber. So our own peo-
pie paid no attention to him. But
Catholic introduced him to the
Catholic Archbishop, and John Nc
Kee, the Negro barber, amazed the
world when he gave million dol
lars to education of Negroes under
the auspices of the Roman Catholics.
And there have been other African
Methodists who have been overlook
ed and have given their funds to
others.-Christian Recorder.

NEW YORK, Nov 21-Raymond Moley, in an open letter Governor Frank Merriam of California; recom- mended the pardon of Tom Mooney before the Supreme Court of the United States compelled to enter on the task of establishing legal justice for review of the case
 The letter appeared in the current issue of magazine edited by Moley who said he wrote as professional stud ent of crime and Justice"
 He added that he forced to believe that Moneys trial tainted with perjury to such important degree that his conviction before the court not fair in light d Anglo-American tradition and jurisprudence
 T believe you should pardon him because it is more i'm porant that the of Justice be maintained elevation untanted by corruption than that sin gle menace to the peace of the State be kept behind the bars.
 he suspicion is abroad in the land that Justice which tainted is dangerous to public peace than the liberty of thousand bad men,
 In view of the Supreme Courts order that the State of California show within forty days why review of the case should not be granted this declaration may influence public opinion to such marked degree that Mooney may become a free again.
 The Supreme Court about week ago issued the order to the State of California commanding them to show cause why this review should not be made. Todate answer has been forthcoming

 Nevertheless, the Congressional Committee on Un- American Activities continued to investigate the charges ot Butler that he approached by Wall Street brokers to head army of half ion former soldiers and others, march on Washington D. G. and seize the control of the government.
 General Butler although retired, continues to break into prominence in the most startling ways His last spec tacular his indictment of Premier Mussonl and Cornelius Vanderbilt their accident when small child down road in Italy, while the two men out motoring.
 That sensational statement made at tense moment between Italy and the United States resulted in an attempt to court martial the General but due to the fact that they couldn't obtain enough ranking officers to form court mar al board Mr. Butler allowed to apologize for his marks

oUICKSANDS OF MONT SAINT MICHEL HAVE TRAPPED
 MANY VICTIMS

PARIS, Nov.-Mont Saint-Michel, the most photographed French land mark, is to be provided with sirens against the peril of the sea.
 Debate on the advisability of pro- tecting strollers along the quick sands, incidentally, has led to the discovery that there is no such thing as being. swallowed up by these ocean side bogs.
 Many an ancient Breton mariner, it was revealed, has ssbeen caught in quicksands and survived. The ques ton is one of time. Rarely is man sucked down to above the waistline, because the subsoil is firm at that level, but many have been caught at time when the tide was coming in and drowned.
 The danger is that of drowning when the tide comes up from seem ingly nowhere, filling the vast req ches of sand with furious torrents and treacherous eddies.
 Victims more often than not are visitors who start out for the his toric island of Tombelaine, and fool ed by their calculations of distance and time into being trapped by the tide.
 Some, of course, are caught in quicksands and are unable to free

FRENCH SCIENTIST PERFECTS EQUIPMENT FOR NIMROD-
 FISHERMEN

PARIS, Nov.-Equipment which will enable person to walk along the bottom of the ocean and shoot fish has just been invented by a French scientist.
 Working in his laboratory, Colonel Le Prieur has constructed a 12-lb. diving apparatus which consists on- ly of light helmet, with two big goggle eyes, and a cylinder of com pressed air. The cylinder is worn around the waist and is connected with the headgear by rubber tube that fits along the spinal column.
 Dry Gunpowder.
 To eliminate the problem of keep ing gunpowder dry, the Colonel has perfected a compressed-air carbine which shoots steel arrows with the of a small machine gun. They are so thin that they slip thru the water like elongated bullets.
 It is reported that once a fisher gets accustomed to sub- marine shooting his aim soon be- comes as good as on terra firma.
 Light Equipment.

 PAYMENT; FULL
 AMOUNT TAKEN

Approval of several projects pro- posed by the Nome Committee of the Federal Emergency Relief Ad- was received here from Acting Governor Griffin, Jun eau, Alaska.
