At this meeting, after Henderson, Allen's nominee for a government job, and Allen had spoken, the audience began to shout for William Pickens. When the chairman ignored the call of the audience for Pickens, who was present, the audience refused to hear any further speakers a;~d broke up the meeting. CAL CAREERS As the legislative assembly will convene the early part of next year, thoughtful students of political science trust that the personnel will not yield to pressure, and discard principles they so warmly advocated prior to their election, as was done the last session.

The members of the 1HINK GARVEY GREATER THAN LOWLY NAZERENE New York, August 6-(CNA)-That Garvey is giving the Jewish carpenter a run for his money, is shown by the titles of songs heard at the UNIA meeting here last Sunday. Instead of the usual "Where HE leads me, I Will Follow," is, "Where Garvey Leads Me, I Will Follow." Another song is entitled; "Come, Let Us Praise the Holy King, M'arcus Garvey." But this isn't ail.

L. Patterson, prominent Macon land owner, was jailed here today on a charge of murder growing out of a spectacular gun battle on his property late last night in which a special prohibition officer and an alleged colored rum-runner were slain. The dead agent was Herman Warr, shot twice in the chest when he and Deputy Prohibition Administrator Fred Dismuke of Macon led a raiding force which captured 40 gallons of liquor allegedly en route to Macon. In the same •battle, Sam Knight, a Negro, was killed. Bloodhounds from the Milledgeville state prison were employed today to track down another Negro, Frank Duhart, alleged rum-runner who was believed badly wounded in the fight but who managed to slip away in the darkness. A witness of the fight told authorities he saw Duhart limping down a road declaring he had been shot. . Patterson, held incommunicado, denied any connection with th,e gun ;battle on his property, prohibition agents said. He insisted he knew nothing of the alleged bootleg operations which last night's raid was organi7.ed to brea.k up.

So Henry Marks, colored, of 287 Williams ave., stealthily got his pistol and just as stealthily crept down the stairs. The prowler was still there and to frighten him, Henry Marks fired three shots. He fired into the ground, he told police. But his marksmanship needs correcting. He has been invited by police authorities to utilize the target range in the basement of central police station. All three shots, although aimed downward, headed for an apatrment house across the street. Two struck the brick wall, and the third galloped through the window of the ground floor suite of Mrs. E. N.

PORO MOVES The moving of Poro Manufacturing busines from St. Louis to Chicago marks another loss for the South and a gain for the north. According to Mrs. Malone, the owners' own words, the change was largely due to Southern attitudes toward colored people, which caused Mrs. Malone to feel that the South was no place to build great Negro businesses. It is another proof that if the South wishes to keep the Negro it will have to change its attitude towards him from one of mere tolerance to appreciation. St. Louis' loss, however, is Chicago's gain.

I have tried to serve them. But St. Louis in most of its attitudes is a southern city. My experience would lead me to doubt that Negro business can grow to large magnitude in the South without feeling something of restraint, as well as a certain sense of insecurity.' The gigantic task of moving Poro, undoubtedly the largest manufacturing enterprise within the group, from one city to another, was accomplished with the precision and dispatch for which the organization is famous. Everything was planned. It is said that shipping and correspondence suffered only one day's delay.

Though it could not be learned just what was reported, the final com- !Pilation was promised within two weeks. Meanwhile all •Washington comments upon the fact that men like Dr. John R. Hawkins, Dr. ]::mmett J. Scott, Robert R. Church, and others, who helped loyally to make President Hoover's candidacy a success not only have no voice that the President wishes to hear concerning the condition of the colored people in this country, but are consulted only after appointments have been determined upon for the few posts that have come to Negroes at the eleventh hour. The question raised in every conference is: "Does the attitude of Dr. Moton influence President Hoover in his disregard, almost dislike, of the Negro here?" "In contrast with former Presidents, Mr. Hover has made no distinct appointments of Negroes, nor said anything about their treatment of their problems." On Larrabbee and McMillen Sta.
