kid Rowe Tries
To Commit Suicide

Hamblet B. (Kid) Rowe, well
known clubman, and veteran sports
man decided that life with him was
not worth living and the best way
out was to commit suicide, Rowe on
last Saturday at his residence, Gao
9th Avenue No., stabbed himself
over the heart and cut himself over
the left arm.
His wife was frantic when she
learned that he had cut himself. It
is generally believed Rowe grew de-
spondent over the closing up OF. a
newly opened club on the Northside
in which he was interested. For
many years he and s. w. Oliver have

BISHOP COLLEGE
BEGINS SCHOOL YEAR
WITH BIG REGISTRATION

Marshall, Texas, Sept. 28.--Ex-
ceeding the expectations of college
officials and threatening the record
of pre-depression days, the registra-
ton at Bishop college approaches the
800 mark as the institution enters
upon the second week Of the new
college year. The enrolment will
probably exceed 500 during the year.
. Not since 1910 has the institutions
spacious four-story mems hall been
used as it is today; all regular dormi-
tory accommodations having already
been exhausted and rooms on the
first floor that were originally plan
ned, and used for recitation pur-
poses, having been converted into
dormitories to accommodate the
overflow.
Men students out number the
women three to two, college officials
state, but both dormitories for goods
are in use for the first time since
1882.
Substantial increases are shown in
the enrolment from Arkansas, Ten
nessee, and Illinois. Prominent
among the Illinois delegation was
L. K. Williams, Jr., who has entered
upon his preparation for the Chris
tan ministry. In entering Bishop
College, young Williams follows in
the footsteps of his distinguished pa
rents, DR.. and Mrs. L. K. Williams
of Chicago, both of whom finished
courses at this widely known Texas
institution.
Bishop College has attracted con-
siderable attention within recent
years through it's strong faculty,
modern program, and business man
agement under DR.. Joseph ]. Rhoads,
its first race president.

Rev. Mahan's Funeral
Russia Gives
Recognition To Negro

Sukhum, U. s. s. R., Sept. 81
(CNA)-A Russian Negro, Abash
Abashidze, has been elected to the
Central Executive Committee Of the
Abkhasian Republic. The Central
Executive Committee is the highest
governing body. The Abkhasian Re-
public is one Of the autonomous (self
governing) republics Of the U. s.
S. r.
Many other Negroes in this repub-
lie hold official positions, particular
~ in the administration of collec-
tive farms.
Two centuries ago a group Of
African Negroes, being carried to
America by slave-traders, made their
escape. A few hundred of them
found their way to Russia. 1t is
estimated that they now number be-
tween 1000 and 5000. They are
located chiefly in the Abkhasian Re-
public, where they are only one
among many national and racial
groups.
Under the cruel colonial policy OF
the Gear, these Negroes, like other
national minorities, were kept in sub.
lection, denied political rights and
the opportunity for schooling and
culture.
With the proclamation Of the So
Wet Republic, all minority peoples In
Russia obtained complete equality
and the right Of seK-determination
The Negro group, along with the
rest, then made rapid strides in the
political, social and economic fields.

Cuba And The
Color Line
MARSHALL WRITES
FROM CUBA
BY Emmett J. Marshall

Havana, Cuba, Sept. 27.-Most Of
the university-bred Negroes in Am
erica of the North, at one time OF
another, and for one reason or an
other, have found themselves mem
bers of some class in American his
tory, sociology, anthropology, or psy-
ehology. Each of these social
sciences deals in some manner with
the human emotions, and since the
color question in the United States
is, in fact, a national religion, it is
the root of that emotion called race
hate, being omnipotent and omni-
present. Consequently, these stu
dents have spent some time analyz-
ing and hearing the professor inter-
pref and explain away the why and
the wherefore of Americas color
prejudice.
Invariably, the fact that the Ne
groin the land of the brave and
the home Of the free-was once q
slave is given as basic reason for
Americas social philosophy regard
ing the black man. Too often the
class accepts this without question.
Too often the student and profes.
sor confuse cause and effect, and
take the explanation for justifca-
ton. Therefore it may not be amiss
to judicially review and calmly in
quire into the comparative attitudes
Of peoples to the question.
Just 80 miles from Americas
shoes is the Island of Cuba. In the
Cuban Republic, in the year of Our
Lord 1884, there are no signs read
ing: "For white only" There are
no trains carrying jim-crow coaches
there is no place of business OF
pleasure that is closed to the Negro.

800 Hear Herndon
Tell OF Georgia Jail

Angelo Herndon came to town
this week and before one of the most
enthusiastic audiences ever assem-
bled in this city, told of his harrow
ing experiences in an Atlanta Jail.
Slight of frame, sallow of complex
ion as if still suffering from Georgia
prison life, quiet Of voice and de-
meanor, this young mamie is just
Fl years old-stood before 800 per-
sons in Pioneer Hall, Sunday after
noon, and declared, 'tthe fight has
just begun"
The meeting, arranged and spon-
sored by the international Labor De-
tense, the organization that has
taken such an active fight on behalf
Of Angelo Herndon and the SCOTS
boro boys, brought to Pioneer Hall
men and women Of all races and
from every section of the city. They
filled every available seat, stood in
aisles and on the platform and cheer
ed wildly as Herndon talked of his
two years behind bars for the terri
BILE. crime of demanding justice for
his people in this land Of the free
and home of the brave.
Hear Scottsboro Mother.
The applause that greeted Hern-
don was deafening. For fully five
minutes the crowd cheered. It was
still cheering when the secretary of
the L. L. D., introduced Mrs. M. Nor
ris, mother of Clarence Norris, the
Scottsboro youth who has been SEN
fenced for the third time to die in
the electric chair for crime which
he did not commit. Mrs. Norris told
Of her efforts in behalf of her son,
Of how she, with. some of the other
mothers, travelled to Washington to
plead with President Roosevelt to
free the Scottsboro boys. "But the
President was too busy to do any
thing about this" she said.
Another speaker on the program
to bring the crowd to it's feet was
Richard Moore, of New York. Mr..
Moore, in his talk, emphasized the
fact that "misleaders" of the Race
are doing the Race more harm than
its known enemies in the white race.
Especially emphatic were his denun-
Citations of William Pickens, Walter
White Of the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People; Geo. Schuyler, noted column
list, and Mr.. W. E. B. Dubois, form
err editor of the Crisis. "The Ma
tional Association for Advancement
of Colored People," declared Moore,
succeeded in getting George Craw-
ford to do what the state of Vir-
ginia had failed to do-sign a con-
fession of guilt. It then succeeded
in landing him behind bars for life,
just as it would have done the Scots
boro boys had not the international
Labor Defense taken a hand in the
case"
Herndon, who is here on a speak
ing tour of the Middle. West, will
visit Milwaukee, st. Louis, Des
Moines and the Kansas Cities before
returning east. He is now out on
bail pending his appeal from the
Georgia sentence of 20 years for vi
olating a 60-year-old law forbidding
the organizing of members of the
Race in that state. During his pri-
son life in Atlanta, he suffered many
hardships, among which were i'm
proper food, lack of medical treat
ment, tortures and numerous other
fiendish cruelties inflicted by moron
ic prison keepers of Atlanta.

Stores and restaurants, located in

more good if they would change their

is not only a reflection upon the
