Houston Informer

THE HOUSTON INFORMER TABORIAN ORDER LOST TWO CASES DULUTH GIRL NOT RAPE VICTIM COLORED VOTERS, BEWARE! "Negroes Did Not VOL. II. TABOR ORDER'S LEADING WHITE ATTORNEY WENT DOWN IN DEFEAT BEFORE TWO COLORED LAWYERS Janitor E. M. Fisher, who feebly attempts to chase dirt and keep clean the Houston building which the Taborian order has made one payment on in four years, was singing it around the streets early last Saturday morning that he was "going down to the prayer meeting," etc. He was speaking about the cases of the Taborian order against C. F. Richardson and Dr. H. C. Lewis in Judge J. M. Ray's justice court on a writ of forcible detainer, which were called for Saturday. The first case on the docket was the complaint against C. F. Richardson and The Houston Informer's attorney, Lawyer V. L. Allen, sent cold chills over the Taborian order's $2000 per year white lawyer in his answer to the petition of the plaintiff. Despite the fact that this brilliant colored lawyer cited the law and authority to bear him out in his general demurrier and special exceptions, the court overruled same and the case went to trial. Taking nothing for granted Richardson's attorney had demanded a juryand after empaneling the jury, the fight was on. Janitor Emanuel Fisher was first called to the stand and all his testimony and evidence were riddled to shreds by C. F. Richardson, S. M. Gaines, Dr. H. C. Lewis and S. B. Williams and the cross-examination of Lawyer L. V. Allen, who demonstrated beyond a reasonable doubt that he must be reckoned with, for he completely put to rout one of the so-called "most influential white lawyers in Houston." The facts in the case were presented to the jury and at the conclusion of the evidence and testimony, the jury retired, later bringing in a verdict of "not guilty." When this verdict was read, the Taborian's blind janitor and high-priced white lawyer had both mysteriously disappeared and the latter refused to return in the afternoon to push a similar case against Dr. H. C. Lewis, who was represented by Attorney S. H. Cavitt. Due to the fact that Lawyer Allen had so masterly and masterfully conducted Richardson's case in the forenoon and had won such a sweeping and complete victory, this high-priced white lawyer, who gets $2000 of the colored lodge members' money every year for such failures, asked the court to give Dr. Lewis judgment and served notice of an appeal in both cases. The old antiquated and ante-deluvian argument about colored lawyers can not cope with white lawyers was overwhelmingly refuted Saturday morning, when Lawyer Allen put to flight Squire Garrison of the firm of McMeans, Garrison and Pollard, the white law firm of the colored Taborian fraternity of Texas. Despite the fact that the court overruled practically every one of Lawyer Allen's objections, his victory was clean cut and deserving. N. A. A. C. P WIRES BURLESON ABOUT R. P. CLERK'S LYNCHING: HOBBY ABOUT PARIS BURN-FEST N. A. A. C. P WIRES BURLESON ABOUT R. P. CLERK'S LYNCHING: HOBBY ABOUT PARIS BURN-FEST The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People today wired Postmaster General A. S. Burleson requesting that he order an investigation into the facts of the lynching of James Spencer, a Negro postal clerk, at Enterprise, Miss., on July 5, reminding him of the fact that the federal government has the power of police protection over those in its service. At the same time the Association wired Governor W. P. HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, JULY 17, 1920. The republican precinct convention will be held Saturday, July 24, at some hour and place to be designated by the chairman of each respective precinct. At these precinct conventions—besides electing delegates to the county convention, which will be held in Houston, Saturday, July 31, at 11 a. m.—precinct chairmen will be elected. The precinct chairmen constitute the county executive committee, so see to it that no "lily-white" nor "lily-white" henchman is elected from your precinct. All qualified voters, both men and women, as well as all soldiers and sailors with honorable discharge certificates, are eligible to participate in these precinct conventions. Get in touch with your precinct chairman and find out the place and hour of your precinct convention and then tell every colored voter in your precinct. Make it your business to be there ahead of time and see to it that only genuine republicans are elected delegates to the county convention and elevate no man to the chairmanship of your precinct who even keeps company with the "lily-white" and that infernal and infamous "republican council of Harris County." The precinct conventions of Saturday, July 24, are the most important on the politi cal calendar and The Informer urges every republican elector, who is anxious and determined to see right triumph ultimately in the Texas G. O. P. ranks, to be sure to attend said conventions. If your precinct chairman fails to call a meeting or if you have no precinct chairman, get the qualified voters of your precinct together and perfect an organization and elect your delegates to the county convention. Don't sleep on your political rights and don't permit the May steam-roller tactics to discourage you. Remember the battle is not to the strong, nor the race to the swift, but to him who knows no quitting and endures until the end. "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty." We possess the numerical strength in Harris County to get a fair and square deal, politically and otherwise, if we only employ our strength in the right direction. "Together we stand, divided we fall." Go to your precinct convention Saturday, July 24 and swat "lily-whiteism" and autocracy—enthree republicanism and democracy. Hobby of Texas asking that he bring to justice the members of the mob which on July 6, at Paris, Texas, took from the county jail Irving and Herman Arthur who were being held on a charge of having killed their landlord and his son, and burned them at the stake. The barbary of this latter lynching is magnified by dispatches in which the sheriff at Paris, Texas, is quoted as declaring that one of the two Negroes burned was not the right one and that he doubted whether the other was the right party and in which he is reported to have gone into Arkansas on the trail of the men believed to have killed the farmer and his son. HILL MAY NEVER FACE TRIAL IN HANG-'EM-ALL COURTS OF ARK. FOR IMPERSONATING OFFICER Hot Springs, Ark.—Attorneys of Robert L. Hill, who is being held in jail in Topeka, Kansas, on the charge of impersonating an officer, say that Hill may never be tried. It is held that the acquittal of V. E. Powell, who was tried on a charge of conspiring with Hill to impersonate an officer, will in effect automatically acquit Hill. Judge Treiber instructed that a verdict against Powell, for the testimony did not fall within the statute concerning the offense of impersonating an officer. It is said the Kansas federal judge may release Hill because it is said that the government could not present any stronger caes against Hill than it did against Powell.

CASES VICTIM Did Not Duluth Girl" Says Physician "Negroes Did Not Rape Duluth Girl" So Says Physician (From the Duluth Rip-Saw.) After investigation and a call Rip-Saw is forced to the conclusion Miss Irene Tusken at West Du June 14. Not only did that young woman be by a highly reputable and e roborate the sensational story to Sullivan, but their tales do not r i nature, human experience and c All this being the case, there say nothing of reason, for bruta Negroes, thereby putting a last city of Duluth, to say nothing of ing the souls of the disciples of and a careful analysis of allegations. The conclusion that six Negroes did not rape Wend Dulph on the night of Monday, a woman's physical condition, as diagnosis and experienced physician, fall to tortory told by Irene Tusken and William to not ring true. They do not square with e and common sense. s, there was not the slightest excuse, to brutality and unlawfully wangling three a lasting stain on the fair name of the killing of murdering the Negroes and doomies of lynch law and mob rule. "To h—l with the church! To h—l with the law." --- The two made the street car and the girl was taken to her home where she was taken to the police and her parents of the alleged outrage. Youn Sullivan went to the Minshee school where her father, Patrick B. Sullivan, is night superintendent of the St. Mary's School where the Sullivan lives at 337 Wicklow Street the St. Mary's School with her family at 488 West Sixth Street. The university is night superintendent of the a mail carrier and a man of repute. Young William Sullivan is alleged to have worked a couple of hours at the St. Mary's School and had been raped by six Negroes and that he had been. That is supposed to have been about 2 a.m. Tuesday morning, June 15. Superintendent Sullivan is alleged to have at once called up two other allegations. The police are credited with having received complainant T. Noble. T. Noble informs Office know of it before 4 a.m., too late to get into their last night. The circus was overlaid out near the Canadian-Northern town of Alberton, allied to the boy and the girl taken out there, but that both failed to single a name. Negro们 were taken to police headquarters and given a hard "sweating." It is known that the girl and the boy were locked up. At that time, at least six of them were looked up by the police. Robinson showed went on to Virginia City and it closed. Chief Murphy went up to the Queen City and it closed, it is closed. Now get down to a bit of analysis, dear reader, and not ring true or properly square up. Of course there are so many rumors and allegations that it is impossible not to uncover 15 years at 10 o'clock at the place. There is no evidence that the boy fought or tried to defend the girl. He was a grain of sand would have fought despite under such circumstances. He was stuff about a recoverer being held in his head sounds too much like a Nazi prey. There is no evidence. There is no claim that the girl was or struggled. Her clothing was not torn when she got home, although it it stated that the mother said that one man was the alleged victim of the alleged attack, saying that also became unconscious when the Nazi (continued on Page Four.)

LET US FACE A FEW FACTS. tial election year there is a gratitude the colored American blican leader talk loud and loosely about the dissertations on what the really amusing and while once Every presidential election year there is a deal of discussion about the debt of gratitude the colored American owes the republican party and republican leaders talk loud and long about what the G. O. P. has done for the colored brother. These quadrennial dissertations on what the black man owes the G. O. P. are really amusing and while once upon a time such hot air and "bull" had a salutary effect upon colored voters, it is going to fail utterly with the "new Negro," who thinks and acts intelligently and without regard to bombast, bosh and bumcombe. Whatever debt the colored American owed the republican party in past, they have been more than paid, but what the Republican party owes the colored American it is beginning to look like it will never be paid. Heretofore the republican party has herded the colored voters like a bunch of cattle and because of the black man's voting solidarity the party leaders have concluded that they own the race's votes and that they can treat the race as they please and yet the race will swallow it all down and stomach it at the same time. Since the administration of Abraham Lincoln, down through William Howard Taft's, excepting a few federal positions held by colored Americans here and there, the republican party has steadfastly and religiously avoided doing anything tangible for the colored brother, but on the other hand, the party has catered to and passed into the hands of the anti-republican, anti-Negro and anti-American ferment of the country, all of whom do not reside in the South. On November 2, 1920, the electors of this country will vote for a chief executive for another four years: Senator Warren G. Harding of Ohio and Governor Calvin Coolidge of Massachusetts, for president and vice president, respectively, on the republican ticket; Governor James M. Cox of Ohio and Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York, for president and vice president, respectively, on the democratic ticket. And how the colored brother will cast his ballot in the so-called doubtful, debatable and pivotal states The Informer will not essay to say just here; but if rumors and rumblings are any indications, the colored voters are not hog-tied to the republican party any longer in these states nor even in the Southern states, and some strange political things are likely to happen. Excepting Abraham Lincoln's administration, the second term of Woodrow Wilson's administration did more for the colored American than any preceding republican administration. not the republican president nor the mob-law, not the Republican leader Theodore Roosevelt, who never spoke against such lawlessness and anarchy until the East St. Louis riot; yet Woodrow Wilson sent an appeal broadcast over the country derying mobocracy and urging the American people to blot out lynch law. Under a democratic administration a colored American was promoted to assistant secretary of war; colored officers were inducted into the American army; colored railroad employees receive the same pay as other men when engaged in the same class of work; while the race generally received more recognition than ever accomplished by a republican or democratic administration since the days of Lincoln. The republican party was in power for 44 years and during that time lynch law went on a rampage, aided and abetted by their condolence of silence and pussyfooting tactics; dischiramishtement became the order of the day and millions of American citizens were denied their rights to suffrage in the South, while the republican party was in power at and slyly encouraged the damnable and diabolical practice. While laying such great claims to a humanitarian and altruistic spirit, the republican party has been too cowardly to even attempt to put an end to the un-republican, un-American and un-Christian practices of the South and thus today jim-crowism, segregation, and unchecked over the Southland and the life of a colored American is not worth a tinker's damn. As lightly as one might consider it, the plight of the colored American in the South is due largely to the 'indifference and apathy of the republican party, which only wants and desires the votes of the colored Americans, but offers them no protection; in the past, the republican party has been unable to cure cases are not overly anxious and enthusiastic about colored Americans enjoying "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, JULY 17, 1920 COL. HENRY LINCOLN JOHNSON MANAGER REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN AMONG THE COLORED PEOPLE The republican party, in carrying out its moral and legal obligations with the black man, has failed miserably and signally; for which failure and malfeasance there is no excuse nor alibi, save that they were actuated by a spirit of moral and political cowardice. The republican party's sins of omission exceed its sins of commission regarding the black man. It has starved, exhausted and exasperated the colored American with promises, which have never fulfilled, neither will they ever be excused. The late republican congress refused to pass any anti-lynching legislation, not even a bill for federal investigation of lynchings, and then republican leaders praise vociferously the black man's eternal allegiance to the G. O. P., thinking, perhaps, that we are a bunch of geese. If the republican party hopes to be victorious in November, it must carry 11 doubtful states in which the colored voters constitute the balance of power. The majority of voters are recent immigrants from the South and they have not forgotten how the republican party has deserted them in Dixie and left them at the mercy of their enemies. These voters constitute a mighty big political interrogation point. Then there are thousands of colored voters who have lived North for many years, who are independent in politics and vote for men and policies rather than parties and platforms; for platitudes, pledges and platforms are all "sounding brass and tinkling cymbals," like the chaff which the wind driveth away." They are simply camouflage campaign fodder, deceiving and deluding many poor mortals. The "new Negro" is demanding a "new deck and a new deal." He asks that the cards be laid upon the table face upwards and he is particularly anxious to know: "Where do we eome in?" If the republican leaders can answer this question satisfactorily during the next few months, it may be possible for victory to perch upon the standard of the elephant; but if they fail to "come clean" with the black brother, the donkey may bray from the White House for four more years. Chicago. — Henry Lincoln Johnson, lawyer, former recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia, and present member of the republican national committee from Georgia, has been named by Chairman Will H. Johnson, the chair of the Committee to have charge of the entire campaign work, as it affects our group, throughout the United States. Some member of the national committee has al-ready been charged, but this is the first time it has to be a member of the race. The departure is very significant, and indicates two important facts: The committee has mandated the race for proper recognition; and, there is a real awakening to the importance of proper campaigning among the voters in the pivotal states of West Virginia, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, and Missouri. Said a white member of the national committee to the Associated Negro Press: "The colored people of these states, since the great migration from the South, will doubtless be in the presidential election." Colonel Johnson enters upon the biggest political job ever undertaken by a member of the race. In an interview in Chicago for the Associated Negro Press, he said: "This campaign has been a great success, which our people have ever engaged. With us it is a cem- Doings of the Race Over the Country Columbus, Ohio.—By a ruling handed down by the secretary of state last Thursday, Harry C. Smith, editor of the Cleveland Gazette, was forced off the republican ticket, as a candidate for nomination. Because the Gazette's editor has the same initials, "H. C." as the present secretary of state, Harvey C. Smith, he was charged with collusion to confuse the voters, although Harry C. Smith denied collusion, and the evidence not substantiate the charge. Because Harry M. Daugherty, political manager of Senator Harding voluntarily, and without bearing on the case caused to be introduced evidence purporting he had sent Harry C. Smith to Chicago to work for Harding. Colored voters are charging that the Harding-Daugherty combine was in collusion to force Smith off the ticket. The Cleveland Advocate, edited by Forte and Tyler, and between whom and the president has been no love, has bitterly denounced the ruling of Harry C. Smith from the race as high- paign for human rights and we can fight for them better within the republican party than without. It is to be a campaign in which Negro voter from inland to take an active part. The border states will decide the battle, and the balance of power in these states lies with the colored voter. The exodus has increased the voting strength by thousands. In fight this year, so far as the American Negro is concerned, is to be for the fulfillment of a definite national program. When March 4th comes around, and the next president is inaugurated, "we want to be able to vote in this program which we are now laying down will be carried out," declared Col. Johnson. The program as proclaimed by Col. Johnson is summed up as follows: "We law forbidding Jim Crow cars entering the capital at Washington. (b) A "General Executive Order" forbidding any such thing as segregation in any department of the government, or fed-territory, of the United States. (c) Passage of a law making lynching a federal crime, with trial before, and punishable by the United States court. (d) That the cause of should be untrammed, with the full rights of any citizen to hold same and enjoy the emoluments thereof. handed injustice, and have championed the cause of its local contemporary's editor. The incident has greatly aroused Ohio colored voters, and fear exists that they will make the party pay for it withholding their votes from Harding in November. Robbins, Ill.—The incorporated village of Robbins, a suburb of Chicago, with all colored officials from mayor to chief of police, held its annual patriotic celebration July 5, more than 60 people in attendance, was under the direction of the village officials and the committee of 100, headed by Mayor Kellar. The speakers were Prof. W. W. Fisher, Hale Porter, B. W. Fitts, editor of the Chicago Searchlight, and Humain Daniel Brascher of the Associated Negro Press. All of the addresses reach 5,000 within the next few years. The village has a population of more than 1,000 and bids for reach 5,000 within the next few years. Brooklyn, N. Y.—Franklin W. Morton, president of the Elliott Republican Club of this city, is a candidate for the legislature of New York. Mr. Morton is in the real estate business and a college graduate. "Negroes Did Not Rape Dulath Girl" (Continued from Page 1.1) gross grabbed her and started to take her to the bushes. She next says that she regained consciousness just as they were leaving her. The girl tells about the Negroes leaving her, yet the boy claims that they stood by and directed the departure from the scene of the outrage. She forcibly raped by a well-developed Negroes, Irene Tusken would have the people of this city believe that she walked to the street car, went home and to bed, without saying anything about her horrible experiences to her parents. Then, a few hours later, she was able to go many blocks to attempt to identify anyone. Any man or any woman who knows anything about human anatomy and, especially the anatomy of a young girl and young Negro boys, firmly will believe that such a girl, undergoing rape by six lusty young fellows, would have to be taken to a hospital if not to a morgue, instead of walking to a street car, going to bed and then getting up a few hours later, already in normal physical condition. Sullivan, the gallant young defender of female virtue, states that he and the girl were watching the circus pulp up stakes and load out. "That being for hands. A harsh, driving foreman customarily stands over his men and pushes them to the limit. It may not be out of place to ask where was that foreman and how did he permit a considerable business long enough to be the business long enough to each and every one to commit rape, something not accomplished in an instant, especially with such huge instruments of rape as those of Negro boys. To one who knows anything about circuses, a foreman at time of pulling up stakes would be right on the heels of all of his men. Anyway, the story of that foreman might be interesting, and about 9 a. m. the grieving, father of the girl called at the office of a reputed physician, Dr. Duluth. He has lived in Duluth for many years and has served the Tuskan family protege. When the physician arrived at the Tusken home, he found the girl in bed. There were no marks or brushes on her face or neck. The girl's body was taken to an examination of the organ's name, supposed to have suffered so cruelly, there was not a bruise, scratch, cut or wound. The girl's evidence of swelling, inflammation or sensitiveness. That physician believes, that she was never raped by one Negro, to say nothing of his Negroes. That James Sullivan believe that he would be fully dangerous to a young girl as a Negro circus hand. Although young in the past, she was quite acquainted quite an intimate acquaintance with Old John Barleycock, the mysteries of his various forms of low moral endearment. Frank Blodgett, the shoe man, Johnson and Jasmine, formerly West Duluth, were a couple of miles north of Lakewood. Once upon a time, a small company of men got a cabin, where they found young Sullivan with a girl, both of them were partyed were so startled and somewhat scared that they quickly faded away without driving out the young royalty. What an innocent young girl was doing out there in the dark, behind a circus tent, with a tough young kid, may be a subject for thought. Time, space and a personal knowledge do not permit a detailed narration of the collapse of Duluth's police children and an infestible incident to lynching of three Negro boys, pleading for mercy and even denying guilt to the last. That allegation of confessions will await analysis and discussion at a later day. False confessions often have been made under duress and as a result of great fruct. Anyone who knows the primitive Negro character will not show much surprise at the confession, especially if the third degree caused the boys to believe that it was not the people who were from an angry mob. Without that confession, the extreme pacificists on the police force have mighty shaky ground under their feet. For barbarity, cruelty and primitive savagery, the recent lynching topped anything in the history of the country for many years. Burning at the stake in the South usually is the result of a positive identification by the victim. In the Duluth case, there was an error too much of identification. One Negro� too might cause another with an idea of saving his own skin. White men have done such things, why not a simple Negro boy? A wave of horror, shame, anger and city resentment details the lynchings were known. Both the sheriff and the police department became very angry over Gov. Burquizal's quickly complied with Sheriff Magie's call for troops. An investigation under way by Gen. Hillary Clinton has laid a foundation for Commission Burquizal's removal by Gov. Burquizal. There also is a general feeling that Chief Murphy has not equal to the Commission. Murphy surely will accompany him.
