The two men. composing the
small vessels crew. were returning
from Gig Harbor pier when sudden
~ there was an explosion in the
engine room and. almost instan-

flames.
A hatch cover was thrown over

The flames were noted imme-

and the speedboat Dolphin was dis
patched to investigate, but it was
a comparatively long time before
the men could be located in the
darkness.
The men were taken to Tacoma

Lighting up the water brilliantly,

Fred Henningsen, the girls par
ents.
Attitude Softened
Once the arrest was made and
they had their daughter back. the
Henningsens softened their atti-
tude and made the bride and
groom a promise Johnson was
to be released from Jail and the
criminal charge not pressed. II.
at the end of two months, John
had a job, had paid up all his
debts and kept a promise not to
drink or gamble, he and Lois could
resume married life.
The parents took Lois on a

bridegroom. IN stick by Lois"
Second Time
But when the 60-day separation
was half over, Pierce county SUI

CAVALCADE OF COLORED
WOMEN INVADE BOSTON

Boston, Aug. II (By Alvira Haz-
zard for ANP)-As the first five
hundred delegates arrived in Bos-
ton by special train, bus, automo-
bile and plane, the 21st biennial
session of the National Association
of Colored Women and the Ma
tional Association of Colored Girls
got under way on Friday.
Registration began early at spa
cious quarters in Horticultural
hall in the fashionable Back Bay
section of Boston where rest
rooms, executive meeting halls,
and dining room Accommodations
are ample for the large number
of delegates. Public sessions of the
convention are to be held in the
famed Symphony hall, the home of
the renowned Boston Symphony
Orchestra, which is conveniently
located directly across the street.
White daily papers were the
first to carry the news of the con-
vention to Hub readers with sto-
ries and pictures, white bunting
with prominent welcome signs dec
grated places OF business in the
colored sections of the city, and a
general air of anticipation and
hospitality predicted that the con-
vention would reach an all-time
high of interest in staid Bean
town.
AT the first meeting of the wo-
mems clubs the entire national
executive staff of the organiza-
ton headed by Mrs. Jennie Motion,
national president, of Capaphosic,
Va, was in attendance. Other of
ficers and noted women in cluded
Mrs. Mary Mcleod Bethune, head
of Negro affairs the NYA; DR.
Charlotte Hawkins Brown, educa-
tor, former Bostonian; DR.. Mary
Waring, member of the board OF
administration; Mrs. Grace Wilson

founders; DR.. Halle @. Brown,

Stewart, executive secretary; Mrs.
Ada B. DeMent, chairman exec
utive board; Mrs. Catherine Helm,
secretary executive board I'D
chairman of women in industry;
Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, honor
airy president and many others.
The romance and significance of
the Boston meeting lies in the fact
that in 1895 the organization was
started here by the rrst president.
Mrs. Josephine st. Pierre Ruffin
in historic Charles Street church.
One of the touching eommemora-
tions of this fact was a pilgrim
age to Mrs Ruffin's grave in Cam
bridge where a wreath was
placed.
Sessions continued through Ju-
ly % with musical program,
lectures, business meetings, a style
show, exhibits, and tours. Miss
Gladys Holmes, state president,
worked untiringly to insure the
c of the meeting.
While many of the delegates
came from all the AZ states, spe-
cial trains brought the largest
number of girls and women from
Chicago. Well over a 100 ere pre-
sent for the first meeting of the
clubs ON Saturday morning. Bos-
ton was greatly impressed by the
Chicago aggregation of visitors,
and their interest and enterprise
in bringing so large a delegation
was the general subject of CONVEX
sation over the weakened.

Edict Wipes Out
Islanders Rights

Kingston, Jamaica, August III,
fCNA--Another step has been ia
ken by the reactionary govern
ment of this British island colony
to suppress the democratic rights
of the people with the passage OF
the Public Meeting Law, 1899. The
law, hurriedly passed by the gov
eminent. is aimed at gagging the
public and to block any attempt
of the masses to better their con-
ditions.
(The new law was vigorously
denounced at a mass meeting IN
New York City this week. The
meeting, attended by hundreds OF
West Indian residnts of Harlem
and native-born, was addressed by
Max Yeargan, educator, Richard
B. Moore, lecturer, w. A. Domingo
T. L. Cowan, Mrs. T. A. D'Augui-
lar and others. DR.. F. Thee. Reid,
acting president of the Jamaica
Progressive League which called
the protest meeting, presided. Inc
meeting was held at the Harlem
YMCA.)
The new law gives the white
governor of the island authority to
prohibit by proclamation "all
meetings, gatherings or assemblies
and all professions and marches in
any public place." whenever he
may deem it necessary in the in
terest of good order or public
safety"
1t provides a penalty of a fine
of fifty pounds ($250) or imppris-
onment for three months, or both
for violation of any provision Of
the law.

1T MIGHT as we'll be stated
right now that Dick Wright's story
Bright and Morning Star, is by
far the best piece in this antholo-
gy. There is a little point in eva
ding this as there would be in
discussing the evident lack of fire
and inspiration N the first story
of the volume, written by Wilbur
Daniel Steele, a quaint little item
dealing with a yellow cat.
Not that the 40 stories before
Bright and Morning Star are al
together wasted. They aren't. They
make a nice volume, climaxed
properly by the genius of this
young Negro writer who has
caught the flame of prejudice and
shown with deep perspective how
this prejudice blinds men and
makes them little better than ami
mails. Perhaps Wright's story is
great because it cuts to the roots
of our feeling-or because it en-
compasses. an entire life, a whole
era in the few words of this fiji
teen-minute story. Read it and e
how this talent burns with the
~fierceness of right and conviction
AS to the other stories-they
are short stories, some better ane
some worse than we've read be
fore. But they have the attribute
of being representative.
Several tIiehts spots appear a
bove the horizon, however, with
striking little stories by Ruth Sue
kov, ,Erskine C%aldswell, William
Saroyan and Dorothy Parker and
a very good nj indeed by Amman
Seager.
Albert Maltz' "Man on a Road
has some of the same qualities as
Dick Wright's story, revealed the
same allegiance to truth and a
n of struggle. "Outside Yuma"
by Benjamin Appeal is also a very
good story, with a feeling Of the
wide spaces that do no more than
Cypress men just as slums do. And
Pietro di Donate has scored with
his story "Christ in Concrete
