NeWsman Probing
EIks Funds, Says
Biggest Charity
Of Organization Is
Its Own Members

Washington, Jan. Is - Continu-
ing his one-man probe of finances
of the Elks Grand Lodge, Louis
Lautier, Washington correspondent
for the National Negro Press
Assn, wrote for his newspapers
last week that although the pre-
amble to the grand lodge constitu-
ton and bylaws states that one
of its principles is charity, the Elks
carry on "no worthwhile charita-
BILE projects" and that the big
gest donation" made by the Elks
convention of 1854 was a $5,517
Cadillac to Robert H. Johnson, of
Philadelphia, their grand exalted
ruler.
Lautier said the gift was voted
at the 1858 convention, and that
the Cadillac was purchased from
Harry Semers, former Georgia Re-
publican National Committeeman
and auto dealer.
One half of the purchase price,
$Z,758.50, was paid from the Of
fetal Organ Fund, the newsman
said the other half from the Civil
Liberties Fund.
Lautier said the generosity of
the lodge to its chief official at
that convention made a shabby con-
trast to the "scanty relief recon-
mended by the grand lodge charity
committee and approved by the
grand lodge committee, totaling
$780,"
Of this, Lautier said only $3.50
was for organized charity. This
went to Bishop C. C. Alleyne to-
ward completion of the Lucy Alley
ne school for Girls in Africa.
The remainder went to various
Elks and Daughter Elks who had
suffered minor inconvenience, such
as loss of fare back home, during
the grand lodge convention.
Lautier, who has been survey
ing the Elks' use of funds year
by year, said the report of grand
secretary William c. Hueston show
ed total disbursements in the grand
lodge from Aug. 1, 1853 to July
1, 1854, of $258,405.61 and total
receipts of $2O6,O7754, leaving

Sam Langford
Buried Saturday

Cambridge, Mass. - Jan. Is -
Sam Langford, conqueror of world
champions but. never one himself
was buried here Saturday at pri-
vate ceremonies.
The Boston "Tar Baby" died
Thursday in a nursing home here,
blind and penniless.
Langford, a native of Weymouth,
N. S., travelled the world from
1902 to 1923 pursuing the business
he knew best-boxing.
He fought a dozen champions
in all classes but during his long
years in the ring failed to win a
title. He began his fistic career
at the age of II by whipping light
weight champion Joe Cans in a
non-title bout in Boston.
Four years later, weighing only
las pounds, he lost close decision
to Jack Johnson, who later shun-
ned him when he won the heavy
weight crown. Langford also
fought such greats as Harry Willis
and Steamboat Fred Fulton. In
1906 he went into the ring against
Jack Blackburn, who later managed
Joe Louis.
The "Tar Baby" fought an esti-
mated GAP bouts during his time
in the ring.
The honors that had been de-
MED him so long during his active
days came to him about three
months from his death when his
name was enshrined in bookings
Hall of Fame.
