Worn Bible Is Only Clue To
Estate Of Wealthy Hermit

LAWNSIDE, N. J. (UNP) II
Several hours of painstaking ex-
animation of the elaborate we'll
worn Bible left by the late Caeser
Moore of Balnew, Md, who died
of a stroke of paralysis last Sun
day and left cash fortune of $4O,-
900 to $4,000 hidden somewhere,
revealed several interesting and a.
mazing facts here, Sunday.
The book was examined by Har-
ry B. Webber, newspaper CORES
pondent, in a search for possible
clues as to the hiding place of the
mystery cash.
Rookmarks Found
Leafing through the book about
a dozen thin slips of paper used
as bookmarks were found, mark
ing off pages which were evident
Iy the favorite passages of Mr..
Moore. The passages marked off
were all read over carefully. GER
tain similarity in the varied them
es was Immediately evident.
The passages were accounts of
the lives of women. Mr.. Moore
was a bachelor and was reputed to
have never associated with any
woman. He evidently was salts
fled with reading about them only.
The most amazing of the pencil
ed notes consisted of figures re-
presenting money. On one slip of
notation was made "34S0 in one
month" There was no explanation
of this. On others were written

There were more than 10000 in
the Ferry Field stands to watch
Owens IN his battle with world
marks. They gave Owens the grea-
test ovation an athlete ever receiv-
ed on this old field. It was the
ia4gest crowd that ever saw corr
ferenre track meet.
Conference officials said there
was nothing to bar the new marks
set up by Owens. There was very
little wind when his races were
run, and all other conditions were
satisfactory.
He is the most effortless runner
vic he's ever been In the sprints.
Only such runner as Billy Carr,
the Olympic and world record
holder for the 400 meters could
equal ovens easy, loafing sort of
pace, his gigantic stride and his
terrific burst as he comes up to
the tape. Owens runs so easily,
even at his top, that he does not
seem to be travelling fast, and it is
only by watching his competitors

The Barclay Administration won
an overwhelming victory at the
polls at the Presidential election
recently held in Liberia. Presi-
dent Barclay was returned to Of
flee as a nominee of the True
Wing party by 344,569 votes. For
ner President c. D. B. King, run
ming as standard bearer of Peo-
pies Party and Unit Wing Party,
received 1874 votes. The Consti-
tutional Amendment providing the
presidential term Of office be eight
instead of six years, was carried.
Edwin Barclay was Secretary
Of State when President King re-
signed n-1980 as the result Of
charges that Liberian Government
officials had been implicated in the
sending of forced labor to Fern
ando Pc, a Spanish possession on
the West Coast of Africa. He as
sumed the duties of President and
was subsequently elected to office
in 1881. President Barclay is of
scholarly attainment. His taskof
plotting the ship of state during
the depression has been a difficult
one.
Friends of Liberia in America
view the election of President Bar
clay to an eight-year term as re-
moving political considerations that
no longer confront him, giving him
a rare chance to serve the Lii
berian Loyalty and deyotedly; that
now Liberia can establish clos
er bond of friendship tween the re
public and the United States.

The slate opposed by DePriest

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The APP
peal Of Angelo Herndon, of Allan
ia, Ca, was dismissed in a to 3
decision by the Supreme Court
last Tuesday.
Herndon was charged with at
tempting to incite Instruction,
and the distribution of Communist
literature.
Georgia charged that Herndon
came to Atlanta as a paid organ
izer of the Communist party. It
is said that Herndon had been urg-
ing Negroes to seize the property
of whites and set up their own go-
vernment or separate from the
United States.
Counsel for Herndon insisted
that in referring to revolutions
Herndon did not constitute a
threat to overthrow the govern
ment but to bring about reforms.
When the Supreme Court up
held conviction of Herndon, ma
tionally known Communist, it
meant that prison doors would
stand ajar to receive Herndon, who
was sentenced to serve from 1S TO
20 years for melting to revolution
in Georgia.

Anti-Lynch Campaign
Cost NAACP 1929

NEW YORK The NAACP. in
statement made public Friday,
disclosed that the campaign Great
ing sentiment for the Costigan-
Wagner anti-lynching bill had cost
$2,223. leaving a deficit of 1868.
Funds collected since January
amount to $1,254. Printing tele-
phone and telegraph bills are still
unpaid and Walter White, secre-
tary, stated that future campaign
ing will be handicapped by lack
Of funds.
Had our race contributed one
dollar for every person who has
been lynched since 1882, we would
have been able to get the bill
passed." Mr.. White stated. He de-
clared that $4,000 more was need
ed to continue the drive.

without explanation, the following
amounts: 100000, $4,000, $4,000,
and so on.
Moore evidently wrote those
things as night as he pored over
his Bible. Whatever the figures
refer to it means that he was
making notes on his innermost
thoughts. He wrote so sparingly
that these little notes assume
tremendoU value.

The $4,000 totsl is estimated on
the basis of his past rate of saw
ings applied to the years between
1880 and 1885.
Withdrew Savings
The great mystery in the matter
is the fact that Moore had lived
on next to nothing and saved ev-
cry cent he ever made, for some
reason withdrew his $4,000 from
the banks and placed it elsewhere

of investigations SO far, buried it
beneath the soil of Balnew.
A character of deep local inter

local citizenry as man who led
an upright life which was a mo-
del of thrift and conservation.

FUTURE Of RACE
IS DISCUSSED IN
WASH. DCMEET

WASHINGTON, d. C.-The sig
nificance of the threat that hovers
ominously over the future social
security program of the Negro in
America, the aggravation of this
threat by the national administra-
tive powers were frankly faced by
leading Negro and white econo-
mists, sociologists, social workers
and educators who met here last
Saturday, Sunday and Monday in
a national economic conference.
The three-day conference with
sessions lasting from early morn
ing until late into the night, was
called by the Joint Committee on
National Recovery and the Social
Science Department of Howard
University. The sessions were held
on the campus of Howard Univer-
sity.
Most active in the development
of the program were John P. Da-
Wis, executive secretary of the
Joint Committee on National Re
covery, and DR.. Ralph Bunche, of
the Social Science Department of
Howard University.
On the whole, depressing pic
ture was etched by facile fingers
to scientifically determine the pulse
beat of socio-economic trends.
Possibly the darkest outlook was
offered by DR.. w. e. B. Dubois,
former editor of the Crisis maya
zine, official organ of the Nation
a; Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People. at pres
ent member of the faculty of At
lanta University.
Until unemployment among Ne
groes is decreased and a decent
standard of living re-established,
we have no resources upon which
the battle against discrimination
can effectively be carried" DR.. Du
Bots said Sunday night.
He cited indications that the Ur-
ban League, the Federation of
Churches and the N.A.A.C.P. are
beginning to show positive signs
of uneasiness.
Zone of the worst things the Ne
gro could do today would be to
join the Communist Party or any
branches of it," he said. 1.-THE
Communists have become dogmat-
ic opponents of the inspired word
of Marx as they read it.
He excoriated the violent, bloc
dy, immediate revolution which he
feels is being suggested by the
Communists.

IT SEEMED a mockery II reli-
gion to william pickena that the
II S. Senate. after voting to lay
side the costigan- Wagner anti
ynching bin. adjourned. then i'm
.edIately started off new leeis-
lative day with prayer By the Rev.
DR. zeBarney J. Phillips.
What did tie chaplain pray a.
bout p Alr dickens asked. did
he pray for the soul Of Senator
Black who endorsed iynching2 Did
he have nerve enough to pray that
the Senate would still pass the
anti -lynching bill 2"
FORTUNATELY, no guess is
needed. The Senate ehaplczn's
prayer IS available from the Con-
gressional record. Here It is:
Almighty God, who art ever
more ready to hear than we to
pray. and art won't to grant unto
us more than we either desire OF
deserve. pour down upon US Thy
Holy Spirit Visit, we pray Thee,
our country, and particularly the
members Of the Senate, with Thy
loving favor.
EnlIshten their minds more and
saore with the light Of the ever
lasting gospel; graft IN their heart
a love o. the truth; increase in
them true religion; nourish them
with al goodness, and keep them,
and those things committed to
their care. under Thy fatherly gull
dance this day and throughout the
days that lie ahead
From introduction to Amen, this
prayer is worth what the Senate
pays the chaplain for It. Tradi-
ton requires an opening with
prayer, and it is perhaps asking
the Senate too much to pay for
the prayer and pay attention to it
too.

Women's Plight
The plight Of Negro women is
perhaps the most tragic. This is
the open season for field work in
Dixie. Thousands Of Negro wo-
men and children Of school age are
migrating in the annual trek from
farms and cities and small towns
to pick Strawberries, snap beans,
potatoes, and do other odd work
on farms. In many instances the
whole family joins in the migra-
tion. The amount of wages earn
ed ranges from two cents a quart
for Strawberries to ten and fifteen
cents for barrels Of potatoes, and
the weekly stipend Of the individ-
ual, couple, or family depends up
on deftress of fingers and physi-
cal endurance.
Relief officials in these Southern
States have seized the occasion to
remove hundreds Of Negro women
from relief rolls with the excuse
that farm employers assure them
they can be employed in harvest
ing the seasonal crops. But the
officials have taken no steps to
guarantee that the employers will
be fair to these women, nor have
