It has been wonderful to me, and I am proud I entered the contest, although the people were cold and irresponsive. After a few copies began entering the homes where I had some one to help me talk about the Courier things began to get easier for me as the contest went along. And then to top it al! off Dad inspired by my grim determination sent in the winning votes from subscribers in the "Windy City" for me aiid therefore really put me over, and I am sending him a big hug by wire.

I am going to take all my friends from the Cotton Club and Connie's Inn for a spin if it takes all next summer to do it. Ill have to wait until Imtor to Chicago this summer for my vacation to be able to accommodate my friends there. As a conclusion I want to add that THE COURIER is getting well on the map of New York and hope the circulation shall continue to increase vearly until it shall become known as the "Greatest Weekly" of that great metropolis.

The original seating plan3 put the Howard university students who are to be in the cheering section, in temporary circus seats between the southern goal and Clark Hall, a disadvantageous point from which to view the game. Sections and on the west side of the field along the sidelines were reserved for Howard alumni and visitors.

Section was the choice location. In it were to be seated the Howard University officials and dignitaries. Complimentary tickets calling for scats Lb section were mailed from the university last Friday. The students, however, were not satisfied with this proposed seating arrangement. They pay an athletic fee of $7.50 a year and are present at all of the games.

They could not understand why they should have to occupy the worst seats at the classic. Through the student council they de Aiken Inquiry (Continued from Page 1) Judge Reed said thoughtfully. "I will say this much. The sentiment there would have certainly been in favor of letting the law take it3 course. The attitude of these peolpe was strongly pronounced against mob violence.

Whether or not it would have been equally apparent had the victim been a Negro, I don't know." If we turn attention to Aiken, South Carolina's tragedy or Houston's triple murder and the punishment, if any, which seems to be in store for the lynchers of the Low mans and Sally and Robert Brown, and Soott Evans, and if we can assume that sentiment in Texas, South Carolina and Georgia, as far as the Negro is concerned, docs not present much difference, it is painfully evident that where a Negro is the mob victim, actual punishment of the lynchers is a strong improbability. Down in Aiken, practically the manded that they be given section i tiovernor investigation as forcibly take seats in this section when the gates would be opened and if there should be any delay about the opening of the gates, they would not wait but enter the athletic field through the windows of Clark Hall.

i did noth ing It should be perfectly clear to the people of South Carolina just where the World stands in this matter. This newspaper has always opposed the Dyer bill which would give the federal government power to act where there has been a lynching. On this point of public policy and constitutional law the Worl is in entire agreement with the people of the South. If the states are not capable of administering justice then popular government is a farce and all the centralized power in the world will not make it but a farce. Thre are n'.

however, when local opinion fails, and having failpd can be revive only by an outside appeal to general opinion. Massachusetts ha such a cae in the Sacco Vanzetti affair. South Carolina has one in the Aiken lynching. New York may have one tomorrow. If it does have one, and if our press is silent, and ineffective to correct the evil, we hope and trust the press of Massachusetts and South Carolina will intervene to save us from the disgrace." The Charleston News and Courier criticises the World for justifying itself in this matter, and says it needs no justification.

"The World is a great newspaper, says, "and has done some mighty big things but it has a peculiar genius for spoiling many of them before it is through." So the controversy goes. Over in Houston the attorney for the five white men in connection with the lynching of a woman and two men claims that the death raid on the Basket Blakely Ranch was a revenge for the slaying of Wallace Crowder, and "any ordinary human beings would have avenged the death of a yemth like Wallace Crowder." The defense continued to show how "respectable" the lynchers were, and how the house was burned down from a lamp which overturned accidentally. The case is still being tried at this writing. Meanwhile the statement of Judge Reed of Atlanta micht be quoted: "Lynching is a menace to the rights and liberties of the American individual, and should be regarded so by every intelligent community in the United States.

Tuesday's paper stated that some agitation was being made to secure depositions of the lynching from Northern tourists now in Aiken, with the expected result that facts could be secured on which to base a statement that the Lowman lynching affected tourist trade to the extent that the murders must be Plunges Froi (Continued from Tage 1) of suicide was a woman, who leaped down the elevator shaft from a stairway, landing near the top of the Monument. Ward chose the east window for his tragic exit. Jensen and the two guards had just turned their backs on the man, apparently. None of them noticed him acting queerly. Like Anderson he seemed absolutely normal.

When they turned again Ward was gone; his body already 1 lay on the concrete almost squarely in irons oi ine entrance to me monument through which he had walked a short time before. Crossant, who narrowly missed being crushed by the falling body, was the same guard who Saturday morning heard "a pistol shot," as he thought, and ran around to the north side of the Monument and found Anderson dead from a deliberate plunge from the top of the Monument. This time, however, the suicide fell directly in front of him. Guard Is Stunned. Crossant's duty is at the entrance to the Monument.

He was there, as usual, except that this time he was outside getting some air. He felt a sudden rush and then a heavy object brushed his clothes. Stunned for a second, he looked to the pavement to see Ward's body huddled before him, the man having been killed instantly An ambulance was summoned from Emergency hospital, but there was nothing for the doctors to ilo. The morgue was notified and the body was ordered removed imme mediately. Guards recalled seeing Ward enter the Monument the early afternoon.

N'j other visitors, arrived at that time anil the elevator did not make a trip, so it is safely assumed that the man walked the lontr fliirhts of stairs to the scene of his self inflicted execution.

He said that Ward, who was former ly employed as a laborer by the Ca fritx Construction had been out of work and in 01 health for the past three weeks. He left home this morning, saying that he wa going to look for job. When Samuels came home he found a letter from Ward's mother, in Huntsville.
