NO. 31. --- Denies Ku Klux Threathen Negroes Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 15.—Colonel William J. Simmons, Imperial Wizard of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, in a statement issued today makes spirited and emphatic reply to what he calls false statements published in certain sections of the country that the Ku Klux Klan is spreading the doctrine of race prejudice and race hatred. He ensures the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, with headquarters in New York, which, he charges, is largely responsible for misconceived ideas of the Ku Klux Klan and its purposes. 18 Races Among 748 To Enter U.S. New York, Jan. 24.—When the steamship Saturnia from Glasgow, entered New York harbor late yesterday, her passengers extended a greeting that "Miss Liberty" for whom it was intended, failed to understand. The sound that went over the waters came simultaneously from the throats of 748 immigrants, representing 18 different countries and speaking as many tongues. Ship officers said they had never seen so many races aboard one ship Jasper, Ala., Jan. 21. A statement by Mike Pallane indicating that a committee had been selected by lot from M company, Alabama national guard to lynch William Baird, a coal miner, caused the special grand jury which has already returned fourteen indictments in the case to resume its inquiry today instead of submitting a complete report. The nine announced indictments were drawn against members of M company. Pallane was immediately summoned to appear before the jury.

C., Jan. 20. Senator Penrose, Pennsylvania, has introduced the following bill in the Senate, which has been read twice and referred to the Committee of Military Affairs: That the Secretary of War, be and is hereby, authorized and directed, unde regulations to be prescribed by him, to cause to be brought to the United States a body of an American, a member of the overseas forces of the United States who was killed on the battlefields of France, and whose identity has not been established, for burial in the amphitheater of the National Cemetery at Arlington, Va., and the body so selected and brought to the United States shall be the only unidentified body authorized to be brought to the United States. In the regulations to be promulgated by the Secretary of War pursuant to this act it shall be provided that a non-commissioned officer under the immediate personal supervision of a general officer, shall select the body, observing strict impartiality, and that the body so selected shall typify the spirit and sacrifice of the people of the Republic of the United States of America in the great World War, and shall be entitled to and shall receive the highest official honors en route and at the reinterment at the reinterment. Such sum as may be necessary to carry out the purpose of this act is hereby authorized to be expended by the Secretary of War. This seems a supremely graceful thing to do, and it is to the credit of Senator Penrose that he was the first to move in the Senate. His bill proposed to do, in a way very graceful and appropriate to the dignity of the United States, a distinctive remembrance of those of its sons who fell in the line of duty without leaving any trace of their identity. Such a memorial will be a comfort to all the relatives of those who served their country bravely and well but who passed to eternity "Unwept, unhonored and unsung." White Man Held For Murder Muskogee, Okla., Jan. 26.—William M. Linn, street car motorman, who Thursday night shot and killed a Negro whom police on the car declare attempted to rob him, was arrested today on a warrant charging murder. The widow of the Negro swore to to the complaint at the suggestion of the county attorney, she said. Linn was released under $5,000 bonds, furnished by the traction company. on Cele A. B. Bar Association Presents Loving Cup A most noteworthy demonstration evidencing the remarkable progress that has been made by the Negro citizens of Iowa during the last quarter of a century was the public celebration held by the members of the Iowa Negro Bar Association at the Corinthian Baptist church, the city of Iowa, the twenty-fifth anniversary of the admission the bar of Atty, Geo. H. Woodson, founder and president of the association. And in order that the readers of The Bystander may have a close up view of this distinguished Negro a large portion of whose record has been kept from the public by his natural aversion to what he calls "newspaper noticery we publish below a full column writeup of Mr. Woodson from the pen of the editor of the Alba journal of the newspaper printed in Monroe county where he has lived and practiced law during the greater portion of the twenty-five years that he has been a resident of Iowa. It is as follows: Ministership Probable. "The Republican last week included an exclusive press notice of the candidacy of Hon. George H. Woodson as Minister to Haiti. The wire reached us at a late hour and only mention of the probable appointment could be made before going to press. After gathering some of the important data we believe this appointment should, without question be given to Mr. Woodson. He has the endorsement of both Iowa Senators and the Iowa delegation in Congress.

We have known George H. Woodson during all the time he has resided in Mahaska and Monroe counties in the Sixth District of Iowa, covering a period of more than twenty-five years. His record during the time we have known and investigated, his life runs about as follows. He is alleged to have been born in Wytheville, Wythe county, Virginia, on the 15th day of December, 1865, and is therefore just past fifty-five years of age. He was admitted to the Iowa bar on January 22, 1896, and has therefore been a member of the Iowa Bar and of the United States District court for nearly twenty-five years, and is now a member of the bar of the Supreme Court of the United States. He was a member of all the War Service Boards in Monroe county during a late great war; was duly admitted to the University of Monroe the Iowa Legislature from Monroe county and was defeated in the democratic landslide of 1912. He canvassed the state of Montana for Hon. John E. Richards for governor, and stumped that state in behalf of Helena on each occasion of the great fight for locating the Montana capital. In that day and time Anaconda and the Marcus Daily Millions were all powerful, and Woodson refused fifteen hundred dollars offered for one speech if he would make it in behalf of Anaconda. He was the organizer of the Iowa State Negro Bar association, and is president of that body; he is the only colored man who has remained for more than twenty years a member of the Iowa State Bar association in good and regular standing. SCRI s 25 Yrs. A Tuskegee Conference Says Many Are Being Driven From The South Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Jan. 19.—Many Negroes are being driven out of the rural districts in the South by lack of protection under the law, the Thirtieth Tuskegee Negro Conference asserted in a declaration of policy adopted today at the annual session here. "The question of law and order," the declaration added, "is one of the most important things which concerns the Negro in the South. As stated in our declarations of years ago, this conference asks for Negroes only what the courts, above all agencies, should give—impartial justice. If Negroes commit crimes, let them be punished by the courts and not by mobs." The conference which was founded by the late Booker T. Washington, commended to the Negro race the movement to establish better racial relations and endorsed the work of the inter-racial committee with the request that Jan. 23 be observed as "Inter-racial Sunday." Negro tenant farmers were urged to grow their own foodstuffs and practice economy. Mr. Woodson's standing as a lawyer and known ability causes him to receive many requests to join the American Bar association. They do not seem to know that he is a colored man. That great association bars colored men by demanding that a photograph be furnished with each application for membership, giving race, color and nationality with a view of making it. certain that colored applicants, if any, shall be excluded by vote in the committee or by the association. He was one of the founders of the "Niagara Movement" which organization was the forerunner of the National Association for the Advancement of colored people, which is now the greatest organization of its kind in the world, and Mr. Woodson was one of its first members. He has been a member of the Legislative committee of Iowa to keep watch and guard against hostile legislation against the colored race in this section of the country, and the discovery and defeat of many subtle bills presented for that purpose has been made by vigorous vigor and ability. Among these many he mentioned the "Secret Order Bill" and various other segregation measures, and especially those that came up in the 35th and 36th General Assemblies of Iowa. He was a member of the Harding reception committee when Senator—now President-elect—Harding made his famous speech in Des Moines on Oct. 7. 1920. He served five years in Company I Twenty-fifth infantry, U. S. army, from June, 1883 to June, 1888. He is District Grand Attorney of Iowa District Grand Lodge No. 30 G, U. O. of O.

NEGROES LOOK TO PRES. -ELECT. Leaders Urge Colored Men For Office Emphasize Importance, However, of Relegating to Discard Chronic Job Seekers Washington, Jan. 21.—Leaders among American Negroes, about 12,000,000 in number, are looking today to the beginning of the Harding administration next March with hope and expectation of recognition. Pretty generally colored voters cast their ballots for Harding and Coolidge last November. In debatable-states, or states considered debatable before election, where the colored population was large, there is no doubt that the colored voters not only helped to swell the Republican majority but in some instances made that majority possible. The demand of the Negroes will take two forms. They will ask for the appointment of colored men to political office, and they will ask for legislation that will protect them in their political rights. They have been asking now for these things in their newspapers and magazines. Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Prof. Kelly Miller of Howard University, Wm. H. Lewis, Charles O. Cottrell of Toledo, Thomas W. Fleming of Cleveland, Ralph W. Tyler of Columbus, formerly auditor for the Navy Department, Charles W. Anderson of New York, James Weldon Johnosn, who went to Haiti as a representative of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Dr. Ernest Lyon, formerly American Minister to Liberia are among the prominent colored men with whom President Harding may be expected to consult after he takes office when it comes to appointments and legislation relating to colored people. Beyond doubt, the colored people are going to seek at the hands of Mr. Harding greater recognition in a political way. That being the case, the character of men whom he selects for office and for advice regarding matters concerning the race is of unusual importance. The chronic colored office seeker, leaders of the race maintain, must go into the discard. Howard Drew Will Race In Brooklyn New York, Jan. 26—Howard P. Drew, one of the world's greatest sprinters, holder of the world's record in both the 100 and 220-yard events, has decided to don his running shoes again. The famous Negro athlete has been training for the indoor track season and will make his first start in the 100-yard dash at Brooklyn Saturday. As a college athlete, Drew twice made the 100-yard dash in 9 3-5. A verdict for the defendant was returned Tuesday in Municipal Judge Franklin's court in the case of Mrs. Willie Watson against Charles S. Stewart, Jr., manager of the Superior Auto Repair company. Mrs. Watson was suing for $1,000 damages. She claimed she was struck while crossing East Second and Locust streets, Aug. 8, and was hurled fifteen feet. The jury decided that Stewart was not speeding and could not be held liable. Cleveland, Ohio, Jan. 20.—Robert Momens, 32, was on his way to Columbus penitentiary today to serve a sentence of life imprisonment, imposed by Judge Florence Allen, the first woman judge in Ohio. It was Judge Allen's first murder trial. Three women were on the jury. Momens was tried for second degree murder for shooting Henry Thompson. He pleaded self-defense.

London, England, Jan. 26. British West Africa is the latest country to seek home rule. A mission has arrived to urge a number of reforms in the administration of the four West African colonies and protectorates, Sierra Leone, the Gold Coast, Nigeria and the Gambia, says the London Times. The mission seeks the creation of a legislative council which will be composed of members chosen half by the crown and half elected by the people and for a house of assembly which would have complete control of the revenue and expenditure. The judicial system, in particular of Nigeria, is criticised by the mission, which states that "it is the practise to appoint Europeans who have not received any legal training and who are not competent to exercise judicial functions." Among other suggested reforms they seek the establishment of a West African university; the removal of the color bar in the medical service and the introduction of immigration laws to prevent the influx of undesirable aliens.

Hall) "STAY-IN-SCHOOL" DRIVE. School children, multi-thousands of them, have just graduated from the eighth grade. These and children from the lower grades, as well as half of the year now face the destination to "get a job." That means quitting school. It means putting behind the child that worthy, ambition to acquire a good education. In many cities "stay-in-school" drives are well under way. These are intended to discourage running from running. The New York State bureau committee, the State Employment bureau, and the Department of Education will co-operate in bringing the facts before the older pupils in elementary school and in high school. The campaign to keep children in school is of particular importance now, because the formation of the latter today and the increasing unemployment. This will make it more difficult for the child to get a job. That is something the parents should consider well before even consenting to discuss the matter of the child's quitting school. And it should, though of, even though a job is obtainable to keep the child at his books. One more term of school will mean the money he can earn today. Woodson Honored ing in Mahaska county. He graduated from Howard University Law College in the class of 1895. He reported to the United States government an attempt to destroy the Rock Island arsenal in November, 1815. He was appointed by the Judicial Council to judge the District court in the abolition of the Judge, and because of this unique distinction, he is often given the title of "Judge Woodson." He has been delegate to many conventions of the Republican party, both judicial and otherwise, and during all the time the writer has known this man as a man who is capable and dependable in every respect. Just at this time when our government needs to restore confidence with the Central and South American Republics, there is no reason to lose hope. He could be made than to send Mr. Woodson as Minister to the Republic of Haiti. A loyal, patriotic black man, who is able and possessed of executive ability, and who has his country's interest at heart, could do more to create good will and harmony, and promote commerce, and general international betterment in the Republic of Haiti and Central America than any other class of Americans we could choose, and, in the end, add a completely exceptionally good man and perhaps the best man that could be chosen for that place at this time." In honor of the occasion Negro lawyers from all over the United States who had formerly practiced in Iowa assembled in Des Moines Saturday afternoon at the State House, the Register-Tribune building The Daily Capital, The Bystander office the Court house and other places of interest, repaired to Center Cafe at Twelfth and Center streets and together with their wives and children, a program of speechmaking at the conclusion of which S.
