Dr. Cheney wca arretted December 26, last, on the charge of having stabbed John Torpey, a taxicab driver, in an altercation following an auto accident at 145th street and Eighth According to the doctor' testimony he used his pocket knife it) self de iense after he had been attacked by doien white men" He testified that he was' driving rwest on 145th street on the afternoon of the altercation when a car driven by a nun named Pincus came speeding "up Eighth avenue as he net red that corner, To prevent a collision he turned his car up Eighth avenue and put on his brakes.

The other driver also applied his brakes and. the two cars tkidded, together. He. pulled over to the curb and ''stopped, the doctor testified, and testified, and after examining the Judge Abrams Draws Ire Of Negress By Prejudiced Roarks Colored litigants who frequent tie Seventh Municipal Court were given an angry surprise last week by a remark from the presiding justice, Judge Louis Abrams. During the course of a rent trial, the Justice had occasion to remonstrate a colored man for using rather strong lanugage in court.

The colored landlord had called a white ten ant a liar and Judge Abrams, according to reliable witnesses rebuked the offender by saying, ou wouldn't have made that remark the South, would you?" Realizing hit mistake, the Justice hastily added be wanted all people who came into his court to show the respect which they demanded of others. Judge Abrams was appointed to the bench less than year ago to fill the vacancy caused by the death of the late Judge Friedlanden He was elected for a full term of 8 years at the last election, November; .1926. I)imni the. political campaign, Judge Abrams snfoke to colored audiences on several occasoins and assured colored voters that lie would not con aider race or creed in dispensing justice. It seems.

The Negro must either convince the world that ha has a record as glorious as that of any other race or remain Content with a fixed status of inferiority. The greatest icholarl of today are saying thati there Is no such thing as race in science and that there is nothing in anthropology, or psychology to support such myths, as the inferiority and superiority of races. These truths, h6wever, will have little bearing on the uplift of the Ne grp, if they are left in the state of academic discussion There must be an actual demonstration. The Negro must learn his past and publish it to this prejudiced world. Fcrt Wcrth, Tex Barfc Has Assets of Over Half KHEsa DcSars Tex.
