Investigation Ordered By Daniels DANIELS TAKES HAND IN HAITI MARINE QUIZ Washington, D. C., Oct. 16—Secretary Daniels, recognizing as a national scandal the "indiscriminate killing" in Haiti described by Maj. Gen. George Barnett in his recent report on the conduct of American marines in Haitian affairs, ordered a searching inquiry to be conducted at once by a board composition of admiral Henry T. Mayo, Admiral J. P. Oliver, and Brig. Gen. Robert J. Pendleton.

New York, Oct, 14.—Full investigation by a non-partisan committee of Americans and Haitians of the administration of affairs in Haiti by American forces was demanded in a statement made public here today by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Gradual withdrawal of United States marines and appointments of a commission "to report on reparation to Haitians who suffered treatment, injury, or property loss from the American forces," was recommended. The association gave out a copy of a telegram sent to Senator Harding congratulating him "on the result of your injury into the unconstitutional and brutal invasion of Haiti," Notice To Colored Men And Women of Iowa The undersigned take advantage of this their last opportunity of calling the attention of the readers of the Bywoman in Des Moines who fails to register on either Thursday, Friday or Saturday, Oct. 21, or 23 will positively be disfranchised on Tuesday, Nov. 2, and will not be permitted to take part in the national, state or county elections all of which will be held on that date, regardless of the length of time they will be voted or voted in the precinct in which they now reside. This notice is given because of the impression entertained by so many voters that registration is only for those who have never voted or who have moved into a new precinct, which is not the rule this year; and, we are especially anxious that every man and every woman of our race in Polk county who is twenty years of age or over shall be permitted to go to the polls on Tuesday, Nov. 2 tire Republican national, state and county ticket, which they will not be permitted to do unless they register this week.

New Republican Headquarters The Tenth street headquarters recently established by the Polk County Central Committee at Tenth and Park streets was formally opened last Monday evening. The meeting was largely attended by both men and women of both races; and notwithstanding the fact that it has been decided not to use the voting machines at the coming election, the machine does not install them; it is very likely that they will be used in subsequent elections the meeting was first turned over to Attorney S. Joe Brown a member of the County Committee who demonstrated the use of the machine to all present who had not had the experience of voting upon one; and explained the importance of every voter registering on Thursday, Friday or Saturday of this week in order to vote Nov. 2. Rev. Henry McKay took charge of the meeting and introduced Hon. Charles Savrude, County Sheriff; Mr. W. T. Jones, a member of Sheriff Saverrude's staff; Mr. Claude A. Harris, a member of the County Central Committee; Mrs. Lillian Smith and Mrs. S. Joe Brown, State Organizer of Republican Women, each of whom gave brief addresses urging all men and women present to register and cast one straight ballot for the year. The headquarters will be open each day thereafter from 9 a. m. to 9 p. m. and any man or woman desiring information with reference to when or where to register or vote or anyone desiring information in regard to the platform or candidates, campaign buttons or pictures of the candidates of the Republican party are cordially invited to call.

A PAPER WITH A CLEAN POLICY The Bystander A WEEKLY FOR THE PEOPLE AND BY THE PEOPLE DES MOINES, IOWA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1920 Honored In Home Town Mrs. Laurence C. Jones a Guest of Burilton and Receives Signal Honors. Burlington, Iowa, Oct. 20—Both races have received with honor the return of Mrs. Laurence C. Jones, of the Piney Woods school, to her home town Burlington. Mrs. Jones who was Grace Morris Allen once conducted an industrial school in Burlington after her graduation from High school which grew to be so popular that more white children attended than members of our race, and a part of the faculty were drawn from the white race. During the visit of Mrs. Jones and children and the Piney Woods sexet, courtesies were extended by Mrs. Reatrice Johnson, Mrs. A. L. Cook and Mrs. E. J. Johnson. An audience packed St. John's A. M. E. church to the doors to greet Mrs. Jones and singers. Mrs. Jones was also the guest of the big Hotel Burlington. She spoke in the High school auditorium, the Presbyterian church, the Congregational church, one of the oldest and largest churches in Iowa and the First M. E. church. A most splendid recognition of the great good Mrs. Jones has been doing all of her life for her people, came in an invitation from Mrs. Chas, E. Perkins, owner of the C. B. and Q. railroad, to come to her beautiful home "The Appletree" and bring her entire party. The afternoon was spent meeting the family to eat and garden. The party was led about the great estate by Mrs. Rice, a daughter from Boston who was very happy in trying to make it pleasant for the little boys and girls of the sextet from down in far away Mississippi. Each member of the party received a souvenir gift of a beautiful American beauty rose. Such recognition by the very richest and most cultured white people in our country is incentive enough to every girl of our race in Iowa, to acquire an education and in some way go forth and serve their people. Mrs. Jones and her little sons, Turner Harris and Laurence C. Jones, Jr., left on the midnight train, Sunday night for Piney Woods school, where she will attend the tenth session Tuesday morning. Principal Jones who motored over from Des Moines in the car given Mrs. Jones by her Iowa friends during her illness last summer, will remain in Iowa another month with the sextet before returning south. Iowa Homecoming November 12-13 Homecoming at the University of Iowa for all alumni and former students will be held this year on November 12 and 13. Prof. F. C. Ensign, secretary of the University of Iowa Association has been named chairman of the Homecoming Executive Presidency. A. Jesup and is arranging his subcommittees which will work to make the occasion bigger and more attractive than ever. Iowa Registration Pass 5000 Mark More than 5,000 different students have already enrolled in the University of Iowa this year and with registration for the present semester still incomplete and the increases of the second semester still to be added it seems reasonable to expect that the anticipated attendance of about 5,500 for 1920-21 will be reached. If a continued increase at last year's rate is maintained until November 1 registration will have reached 5,200 by that time. New Negro Bank (By the Associated Negro Press.) Louisville, Ky., Oct. 19. The First Standard Bank of this place has made what is believed to be a record among colored people in the United States. Its entire stock representing capital and surplus of $110,000.00 has been sold in less than five months. In other words, colored people themselves have bought up the entire capital stock within less than five months—not one dollar of stock within less than five months—not one dollar of stock having been sold to white persons. So far as available records show there is no other corporation among colored people that has ever approached this record. Wilson S. Lovett is business agent of the First Standard, Act to Combat Lapland Acts of White Violence and Practic Violence. Little Rock, Ark, Oc.; 16. The outbreak against unoffending Negroes on account of dissatisfaction with cotton prices all over the south, has aroused southern governors as nothing else in years has done. The south is in for the biggest losing it has experienced in years. Cotton is costing 30 cents a pound to gather and indications are that it will bring only 22 cents. Some white planters and farmers are not going to do this. From Harvey's Weekly Negro Football Star Declared Inelegible Lane Tech football prospects were dashed yesterday, when the Chicago Public High School League of Athletic control voted Left Tackle George Booker ineligible, and forfeited Lane's two victories against Crane and Hyde Park. The action was taken at a lively meeting in the office of E. C. Delaporte, supervisor of city school athletics, and followed the production of records for three consecutive years during Booker's grammar school days, which showed he gave the date of his birth as Dec 23. This would make the 210 pound Lane colored football nearly 24 years old now and a rule of the City High HEALTH BOARD TELLS "Better garbage disposal in the city of Des Moines is not only desirable, but positively imperative," Dr. J. G. Sumner, secretary of the state board of health, told us today. Health and sanitary conditions in this city are badly affected by the present garbage service, or rather the lack of it, declared the secretary, who suggested legislative remedy. No matr how it is done the fact remains that Des Moines positively must have better garbage service, he said. Negro Athlete Makes Good With only three days' work out in which to condition himself, Curtis Morton, fullback at North High and all-state performer at 109, was inserted into a game at Western League Park college and at Morningside college of Sioux City met. It was largely through Morton's efforts that the local team emerged victor by a 7 to 0 count. Morton should add to his record as a player during the current football season. The playing of Ashby, former East High and University of South Dakota star, was the outstanding feature of the game played Sunday afternoon at East Twenty-eighth street grounds between Grenola eleven of this city and the Amkenty town team. His brilliant open field running and terrific plunge through the line were important factors in the manufacture of the 45 points scored by Anderson, playing his first year at tackle on the East High team, state championship contender, was a bulwark Bluffs game played at East High stadium Saturday afternoon. Frederick, North High halfback, was one of the chief ground gainers in the North High-Mason City clash at the Drake Staudium Saturday. N HA Race Qustion Big Ke (BY ARTHUR SEARS HENNING.) Louisville, Ky., Oct. ...5—There is no telling how Kentucky will go in this election and the chances are the result in the state will still be in doubt twenty-four hours after the polls close on Nov. 2. So close is the contest that whether Harding or Cox wins the state it is likely to be by a margin of only a few thousand votes. The Republican organization is no less confident of victory than Democrat headquarters, but each takes care to cast an anchor to windward in making predictions. Race Issue is Raised. Kentucky—unless this race issue raised by the Democrats beats us," was the way the situation was summed up at Republican headquarters. According to publicans, the Democrats raised the spector of Negro equality, if not Negro domination, in a last desperate attempt to stem the tide of Democratic defection. Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 20.—The lattest styles in holdups in Lincoln was staged when Fred Richardson, a handsome Negro youth garbed as a feminine "vamp" enticed men in railroad yards into the shadows and relieved them of their pocketbooks.

In refutation of the charge an affidavit from Booker's mother was shown, made out last autumn for the city bureau of vital statistics, and naming the player's birth date of Dec. 2, '899. It was shown, however, that this would have had Booker entering the grammar school at 3 years 7 months, and the vote against Booker followed. The verdict against Booker Jones out of the race for the high school title, although the tech team was regarded as one of the two strongest elevens in the league, Englewood being the other, Lane and Englewood play Saturday afternoon at Logan Square ball park.

Dr. Phillips of Keokuk Passes Away Dr. Phillips of Keokuk Passes Away Veteran Minister, Physician and Publicist Passes Away at the Age of 84 at His Residence in Keokuk, Iowa. Rev. Dr. Thomas H. Phillips, one of the best known men in the west among the older generation and who was a commanding figure in Missouri affairs for fifty years during his residence in this state at V'oberly, Mo., passed away last Tuesday after a brief illness at his residence in Keokuk, Iowa, where he had lived and practiced medicine for the last 50 years. He gave a wife and a baby daughter also a son and two daughters by a former marriage, all of whom are well known in Missouri; his oldest daughter, Mrs. Arlivia Watson having been Grand Princess for a number of years of the S. M. T. while Dr. Phillips was one of the first Grand Masters of the U. B. F. and lived to witness its growth from an insignificant number to the largest fraternal organization in this state. Dr. Phillips was a real leader of men and his commanding figure being more than six and one-half feet in height, straight and strong. He was white, made him the center of attraction in any gathering. The order has lost a great man, the church a noble preacher and the race a courageous and heroic leader. The funeral was Friday at Keokuk, and was largely attended from all sections of the country.

NEGRO WAS A HOLDUP "VAMP" tively. --- Price Five Cents that Harding was going to receive the support of thousands of Democrats who never had voted the Republican ticket before. Suddenly the Negro equality talk bobbed up in central and western Kentucky. Democratic orators began assuring their audiences they had proof that the Republicans were bent on establishing mixed schools of Negroes equality. This attack has assumed such proportions in outlying sections of the state that the Republican managers are seriously alarmed. They fear that the bogey may serve to frighten off thousands of Democrats, notably white women, who were prepared to vote for Harding. The Republicans are viewing with satisfaction their possession of the most important position much by virtue of the fact that the state administration is Republican. They say it means an honest count of the vote. The Democratic leaders say it means the Republicans will count Harding in, if the result is close. Women Voters Are Well Organized MRS. S.

A few individual Democrats may throw out some small inducements to win Negro votes for their own personal gain but they will not and can not change the attitude of the Democratic party toward the Negro. They why disarm, wreck and destroy the Republican party by scratching the ballot because of a little personal grievance toward some particular candidate and thereby leave the Negro race wholly at the mercy of the Democratic party that offers it nothing but disfranchisement segregation, Jim Crowism and lynching.

The American voter, and that means every natural citizen of legal age of either sex, must register this year, if he or she would cast a vote in the coming presidential election. It makes no difference whether you have voted in every election for the last fifty years, whether you have or have not changed your residence, or whether this will be your first use of the franchise, you must first register before you can vote in the coming election. THIS IS PRESIDENTIAL EAR, AND EVERY PRESIDENT BECOMES THIS PRECINCT POLLING PLACE. This applies only to cities, as registration is unnecessary in the small towns of Iowa or in the country precincts. All citizens of Iowa who have been in the state six months, in the county sixty days and in the precinct ten days are eligible to vote, if they are 21 years of age or older. The American voters are the jury this year in the most momentous case in the history of the nation, and especially true is this of the Negro voters of America, and the voter who does not cast a ballot, will by his indifference be guilty of criminal neglect. Every voter should be vitally interested in his government and the calibre of the men that are to govern. The welfare of the voter and the nation is at stake in the decision that is made at the polls. WOMEN OF IOWA On Tuesday, Nov. 2, there will an election, national and state.

Nothing is more important at this time than to help break the political chains from our disfranchised brothers and sisters of the southland. Second in importance is standing by and with those who are the candidates of a party that has not done all they could have done for the American Negro but a party that has done all that has been done for the race. All of the above candidates believe in a Republican party built on character and loyalty, not on color and caste.

To refuse them support will aid the Democratic party, a party of disfranchisement, segregation and Jim Crowism. The Bystander knows something of political leaders, their habits of thought and their activities. Closely have the records of candidates of all parties been examined, especially as they speak or act when the legal or political rights of our people come before them. We find the attitude of the Democratic candidate to be more favorable toward the Negro than that of their opponents. The Bystander believes that every Negro man and woman in Iowa can conscientiously vote the straight Republican ticket on Tuesday, Nov. 2, 1920. Indian Raised Cotton and Tobacco.

Because of the inclementity of the townpeople was perhaps, not so great but what they lacked in numbers was made up in social spirit.
