We found the Negroes active in
the city department of Philadel-
phia. Two magistrates sit in
judgment in the lower courts.
In the we'll known Annapolis
where the Naval Academy is To-
Gated, to our surprise we saw
whole crews operated by Negro
supervisors in crab picking and
oyster Smelling industries.
\ Hopeful Trend
The other cities, Wilmington,
Delaware, Pittsburgh, Indianapolis,
St. Louis and Kansas City show a
hopeful trend, as everywhere the
Negro seems interested politically.
The large Negro centers are all
becoming politically minded as the
fall elections draw near, and the
1910 Presidential Campaign is GER
tain to find the Negro using the
power he holds today to his advan-
tage.
Father Divine Movement
Father Divine is exerting some
political influence in New York
where it is understood he has an
educational and political depart
ment connected with his big move
ment to establish what he termed
a righteous government for the
people.
A visit to two of his Kingdoms"
in Harlem, New York, where we
witnessed one of the most magnif-
cent banquets, evidences the fact
that the Father Divine movement
is playing a big part in section of
New York.
Father Divine and his glamorous
Dusenburg blocked traffic COM
pletely on 123rd Street at Lenox
Avenue, where he parked to enter
one of his kingdoms.
Ten and Is cent meals are offered
in the Father Divine kingdoms and
10c hair cuts for men with the
added fact, it is said, that none of
his members are permitted to &C
cept relief from the government,
outstanding features that are pc
cuiarly attractive to the individ-
uals lowest down.
In all sections the race is to be
found at play, big theaters, movies,
and other amusement places almost
wholly controlled by the white
group.

Hitler Sees Ribbentrop.

BERLIN, Sept. IA R.-Chancellor
Adolf Hitler today called Foreign Min
lister Joachim Won Ribbentrop to meet
him at Munich to discuss what Ger
many might do in the face of what
Nazis called the new situation" in
Czechoslovakia.
Germans generally expected Hitler
to make some move, if only public
statement, in view Of his defiant
warnings to Czechoslovakia in Mon
day nights speech at Nurnberg, in
which he proclaimed his will to pro-
tect the Sudeten Germans
The German government has main
tanned complete silence so far on new
disorders in the Sudeten area and the
Prague governments emergency meas
ures to suppress them.
While Der Fuehrer and the foreign
minister conferred in the brownstone
Nazi headquarters in Munich. a multi
tude Of rumors circulated in Berlin,
causing considerable excitement.
Most of the rumors, such as the re-
ported closing of the Czechoslovak-
German frontier and the breaking off
of diplomatic relations with Prague,
were promptly denied by officials.
Propaganda Minister Paul Joseph
Goebbels considered the situation so
serious he departed from custom and
personally gave his views to Berlin's
chief editorial writer's and corre-
spondents of provincial newspapers at
the morning press conference.
The Nazi press meanwhile rallied at

PRAGUE, Sept. IA R.-Konrad
Henlein, leader of the Sudeten Ger
mans. informed the British Runciman
mediation mission today that the Su-
deten committee for negotiations with
the Czechoslovak government had
been dissolved.
As result there is a complete break
down in efforts to solve the bitter,
bloody dispute over the Sudetens' de-
mands for self rule, there being no
machinery on the Sudeten side for
further discussion.
Meanwhile the government, ignoring
the Sudetens' ultimatum demanding
cessation Of martial law in Sudeterl
regions, commandeered motor busses
in Prague to rush fresh troops into
the regions under military control The
ultimatum expired early today, without
immediate results.
Henlein Has Sole Power.
The Sudeten party is conducted
on the leadership Observation-Disclosures
the ,-Nazi German model-therefore
Henlein as Fuehrer alone has authority
to discuss anything with the Prague
government
Henlein reported his decision to dis

count Runciman, and other members
Of the British mission at a confer
ence at Asch, Henlein's home town,

dition. James underwent an operation
for a gastric ulcer Sunday. He was
reported today to be making salts
factory progress" even though the
critical period has not passed.
The President drove to the hospital

sation with Mr.. Hull. The Chief Exec
utive has been in frequent communica-
ton with the Secretary regarding the
east-breaking events in Europe.

The Chief Executive spoke to a crowd
from the rear platform Of his special
train. He thanked the citizens Of
Rochester for kindnesses which he
said had been shown the family here.
The President after his return to
Washington presumably will take per-
sonal charge of foreign relations.
Il am going straight to Washington" 4"
the President told the crowd gathered
at. the station for his departure, "be-
cause conditions Of affairs in other
parts of the world are extremely seri-
GUS. AS President, I must go to the
National Capital"
Today's early bulletin on James
condition said he enjoyed a comfort
able night
The bulletin was signed by DR.. H.
X. Gray, the operating surgeon, and
DR.. G. B. Eusterman, consulting ply
sician.
Discuss Foreign Developments.
On the final call last night father
and son talked at some length about
recent developments in Europe-in-
cluding Reichsfuehrer Hitler's Nurn-
berg speech and the Czechoslovakian
governments rejection of the Sudeten
German ultimatum
James expressed intense interest in
world affairs.
The President, Mrs. Roosevelt and
Mrs. James Roosevelt were reported
quite satisfied with James condition.
Persons in communication with the
Mayo Clinic said James practically
was out of danger.
A bulletin from the hospital yester-
day afternoon said James had taken
fluid nourishment-his first since the
operation.
Physicians tried to keep the patient
sleeping as much as possible. When
awake, however, he wanted to listen
to specially installed radio. Doctors
forbade reading.
The President and other members
Of the family alternated their visits
to the hospital, all staying as long as
The doctors thought advisable.

IL
By the Associated Press
Seven Senators won denomination
or moved to the front today in primary
election returns, but national atten-
tion centered on the spectacular Geor.
gia test of President Roosevelts cam.
paign against conservative legislators.
Georgia Democrats will select their
senatorial candidates from these men:
Senator Walter F. George, veteran
of is years experience and holder of
numerous important committee as
signments, described by Mr. Roosevelt
as being out of touch with the broad
objectives" of the Democratic party
and the Government.
Lawrence S. Camp, Federal district
attorney in Atlanta, recipient of q
presidential blessing in Mr.. Roose-
velts speech at Barnesville, Ga, sew.
eral weeks ago.
Former Gov Eugene Talmadge, who
the Chief Executive said would con-
tribute little to practical government"
A fourth candidate for the senatorial
nomination, William G. McRae. with
drew from the race on Monday night
with the announcement that he would
throw his support to Mr.. Camp. He
had campaigned under the banner OF
the Townsend pension plan.
Lonergan Is Threatened.
In Connecticut another Democratic
Senator who has opposed some ad-
ministration measures was seeking
denomination. He was Augustine
Lonergan, Endorsed by Attorney Gen.
eral Cummings, but opposed in con.
vention by Representative Herman P.
Kopplemann and two other aspirants.
New Deal policies threatened to be-
come an issue in the race.
They did not enter to any marked
degree, however, into the seven sena-
torial selections made yestrday. In
four States the Democratic incumbents
we're unopposed. They were Senator's
Fred H. Brown of New Hampshire,
Elbert D. Thomas of Utah, John H.
Overton of Louisiana and Alvin B.
Adams of Colorado.
In the choices involving contests
Vermont Republicans renominated
Senator Ernest w. Gibson and Wash
ington Democrats chose Senator
Homer T. Bone over Otto A. Case,
Townsendite. Senator Carl Hayden,
Arizona Democrat, was far ahead of
two opponents in incomplete returns.
Troops Are Called Out.
Voters yesterday showed a general
tendency to renominate present House
members, but South Carolina was an
exception. Representative John c.
Taylor was defeated by Butler B.
Hare and Representative G. Heyward
Mahon by Joseph R. Bryson in Demo-
cratic run-offs
South Carolina also supplied the
most dramatic election incident of
the day, when National Guardsmen.
under instructions from Gov. Olin D.
Johnston, took possession of Charles
ton County ballot boxes.
Wyndham M. Manning, apparently
beaten for the Democratic guberna-
torial nomination by Mayor Burnet
R. Maybank of Charleston, had asked
for the troops because of reported
irregularities
In New Hampshire, John L. Sulli-
van had no opposition for the Demo-
