It was false, he declared to think that Africa was a wild, savage land, and that Africans were alike in color and physique. Africans had learned how to smelt iron when Europeans were still using tools of stone, and their color ranged from black to red and light yellow. He pointed to the early invention of musical instruments by the Africans and the magnificent wood carvings and bronzes from benin. This act profoundly influenced all modern art, he said. Such dances as the Habanear and the Tango, while coming from Spanish America, originated in Africa. Africa's period of decline, he charged, began with the slave trade and up to the partitioning of the continent by European powers. Mr. Johnson will deliver nine more lectures during the first and second terms this winter at New York University.

He left and said that he would return shortly. Mincy in going through the pockets of the suit before pressing it found several letters written in a peculiar code. He removed the letters and hid them behind the radiator. When the story of the arrest of Hauptmann and his pictures appeared in the papers, he is said to have immediately recognized Hauptmann as the man who two years before had left the suit. ARRESTED Mincy reported the matter to the police, but immediately thereafter Mincy was arrested on a warrant for larceny taken out by the tailor for whom he worked in the Bronx, Max Ulrich. He is being held for the action of the Grand Jury in New York under a bond of $1,000. Mincy has a reputation for integrity and honesty and friends feel that the charge of larceny is trumphed up to protect some confederates of Hauptmann, who fear that he might know too much. ————— PRINTING THINK OF JAMES A.
