P, MEET Bishop Carey, Walling and Roosevelt Talk A bishop awed by the presence on the same platform of a colonel who had dined too well, an ex-socialist who | stopped thinking when America enter- | ed the world war, and the foremention- im | ed colonel, were the principal speak- q ers at the mass meeting held under the auspices of the National Associa- tion for the Advancement of Colored People in Pilgrim Baptist church Mon- day night. The speakers, in the order named, were Reverend Archibald J. Carey, William English Walling and Colonel Theodore Roosevelt. They spoke to an audience so far above them in in- telligence that it applauded only to be polite. 1,500 Negro men and women filled the auditorium and 500 more were unable to get in. The performances of the speakers were preceded by a prayer which ask- ed divine approbation for everyone present except the newspapermen. Colonel Roosevelt furnished the low comedy touch. (The moment he ap- peared on the platform a rapid poll of the press table showed that the unan- imous opinion of these experts was that the colonel possessed what is playfully called a “brannigan.”) Roosevelt Interrupts the Bishop. He interrupted the bishop a number of times, insisting that his ancestors came from Georgia and not from Hol- land as popular rumor has it and was very merry thruout the bishop's speech, But his merriment ceased | abruptly when the chairwoman inad- vertently referred to him as the form- | er head of the Sinclair Oil company. } The colonel’s balancing feats on the } edge of the platform are excelled only by the Four Marx Brothers, William English Walling offended the colonel somewhat. After eulogizing Al Smith as one who, in favoring the direct primary, was bringing New York into the United States, Walling mentioned the anti-saloon league as a typical example of an organized minority functioning thru the direct primary. With this statement the col- onel took issue. | Under stress of emotion he forgot | Walling’s name and referred to him as “Wallace.” “As far as Iam concerned, Mr. Wal- | lace,” said the colonel, “you have chosen an unfortunate example.” Another hurried vote at the press | table decided that in making this statement the colonel was speaking } from his heart. Walling Likes The Smiths. Walling’s speech was poorly del- ivered, lacking in substance and was an echo of the pre-war Wilson period. “Non-partisan voting is comparatively | new and there is not always a full realization of what it means.” he | said. When there is no friend to be voted for and no enemy to be voted against, a colored citizen may vote for ‘his’ party,” Walling is against parties, He is for “organized minorities” within the two old parties and he declared that in those states where the direct primary exists popular government is now in full bloom. He submitted no detailed evidence to substantiate this broad statement and the inference is that the election of Al Smith and the nomination of Frank L. Smith re- cently were great victories for po- pular government. Walling evidently is a great believer in the Smith family. Audience Remains Calm. The highpoint in Reverend ‘Carey’s address was his praise of an Illinois Negro regiment which, during the Spanish-American war, volunteered ‘for service in fever-infested territory after a number of white regiments had refused duty there. The audience, much to its credit, did not show by applause that it was as enthusiastic about this incident as the bishop was. Nor did it appear to be greatly interested in other feats of arms, which the bishop described, performed by Negro regiments many of whose members were promply jail- ed or lynched as a reward on their fFeturn to the land of the free. The solo and chorus singing was magnificent. Don’t forget the Work- ‘ers (Communist) , Party Picnic Monday, July 5, at Chernauskas Grove, RATIONAL LIVING To Reappear.

Butler, writes from Washington that he “read with interest” a clipping sent him about the latest developments in the Sacco-Vanzetti case. The clipping related something of the Madeiros’ confession and sup- porting affidavits filed with the de- fense motion for a new trial for the two Italian workers, Since But- ler “read with interest,” he must have learned from the clipping something of the strength of the evidence clearing Sacco and Van- zetti and showing their innocence. Chinese Militarists Join in Opposition to National Armies PEKIN, China, June 29.— General Wu Pei-fu and Marshall Chang Tso- lin, reactionary militarists of China, are now in conference here relative to the future of the Pekin government, which, tho ignored by much of China} and flaunted by the nationalist Canton | government, seems valuable to these generals as a trading point with for- eign supporters. There are rumors that the forces of both generals, Wu Pei-fu having rather less than Chang, shall be united in a new drive against the people's army—the Kuominchun. Attorney Seeks to Delay Robert Scott Murder Trial Another attempt to delay the mur- der trial of Robert Scott, which was to begin before Judge William Gem- mill, has been made by Attorney William Stewart, on the grounds that he has been so busy with the sanity trial of Russell Scott. Attorney Stewart argued a motion for a new trial in the case of Russell July 3. No date for his execution will be set until after the hearing of that motion. Robert was to go on trial on the same charge for which Russell is sen- tenced to hang. N. Y. Health Official Gets Five Years for Milk Graft and Bribes NEW YORK, June 29. — Thomas J.

LONDON, June 29.—Mediterranean countries, and the Mediterranean islands in particular, have been ter- rorized during the past twenty-four hours by recurring earthquakes, ac- cording to reports received here. As yet there are no reports which would indicate any widespread damage or any extensive casualty list. The earthquake area appears to have stretched from southern Italy to India, and its center was apparently ed to stick, in the islands off the coast of Greece.
