(By The Associated Negro Press.) Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 18—Mattie Poole, a colored woman living at 16 Hoods Drive, is held without bond at police station while the police are investigating the story of her son, William, 16 years old, that she tried to kill him. Willie told them, say the officers, that his butter didn't taste right Thursday, so he took a sample of the food to Fort McPherson, and was informed that it contained enough poison to kill five or six men. The police say Willie thinks his mother wanted his life insurance.

ONE BYSTANDER—AUG 17 21 Washington, D. C., Aug. 18.—(Special)—'I should be ashamed, as an American citizen, to go through this winter with 3,000,000 unemployed,' Eugene Meyer, Jr., managing director of the War Finance corporation, declared before the house interstate commerce committee today. He spoke on the bill to enable the War Finance corporation to advance funds to the railroad administration. "Unemployment is an expression of bad management, and this a measure essentially looking to the reduction of unemployment," he said. Meyer asserted that with the resources of the United States a way could be found to keep labor employed. (By The Associated Negro Press.) Washington, D. C., Aug. 18. "Not by might, nor by power, but my spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts." Such might be the text of a sermon for every bishop and minister of every race variety in the United States, with the Republican party as the theme. The Republican party is intoxicated with power, and by that unusual condition, there are many surprising things happening and colored Americans are coming in for their just—or unjust—share of disappointment. There seems to be a great poverty of the human element, or the "spirit" in the things that are happening. President harding has developed into a great preacher of human justice, and the things he says have a far different effect on the general public, than the things said by his predecessor, Woodrow Wilson, for the President has the true element of sincerity in his statements. "But what difference does it make," said one citizen to another, "if the President fails to back up his predecessors with action?" SPECIAL. Clinton is all agog, over the mysterious shooting of W. C. Davis which took place Sunday night about 1 o'clock at the restaurant of Richard Clark by whom he was employed as night man. His assailant was a white man. The story as told by Mr. Davis is that about the hour mentioned a white man entered the restaurant and asked for a cup of coffee. Mr. Davis went to the kitchen for the coffee. About the same time another white man entered and going to the kitchen drew a revolver and fired two shots Improved Condition in Africa Says Methodist Missionary Terrill, Just Returned After Five Years. Conditions for the native Negro miners employed in the mines of Johannesburg, South Africa, are being steadily improved and modern reforms are being instituted to aid in the advancement of the race, according to the Reverend Mr. Wm. C. Terrill, missionary to Johannesburg under the Board of Foreign Missions of the Methodist Episcopal church, just returned to this country. Mr. Terrill was formerly stationed at Gukuki Mission, Inhambane, Portuguese East Africa, where he remained for four years, teaching "OUR FOLKS SHOULD BE LAST EXPLOIT RADICALISM" YELLED ATTORNEY. WHEATON Why Praise Jack Johnson? (By The Associated Negro Press.) Chicago, Ill., Aug. 18.—"Jack Johnson gets more newspaper attention than do all our college presidents, yet he does not represent us any more than Jack Dempsey represents the whites." So declared William Harrison, a colored lawyer of Oklahoma, to an audience of several hundred Negroes and a sprinkling of whites at the City Auditorium Sunday afternoon. His subject was "Visions." "Visions make pioneers," Harrison declared, "men who fell the trees, bridge the streams, and tunnel the mountains. A man of vision counts nothing impossible, surmounts obstacles and snatches victory out of the jaws of defeat." Judge Harrison urged his hearers to have faith in God, confidence in self-love for the entire human family, patience under trial. Mother Tries to Poison Son both taking effect in the abdomen. Both men ran making their escape. The motive cannot be determined as no words according to Mr. Davis were passed. Mr. Davis was taken to Jane Lamb's hospital where it was found one bullet had passed through his body. Owing to the seriousness of his condition the other bullet could not be located. Monday afternoon Mr. Davis passed away. There were no witnesses to the deed so it no doubt will be forever a mystery as to the perpetrator of the crime and the motive.

It was found that so many of the natives thereabouts signed contracts with the labor agents of the mining companies and went to Johannesburg to wor kin the mines, that the Board of Foreign Missions arranged to have Mr. Terrill move there to look after the thousands of Negroes from his mission territory.

(Continued on Page Two, Column Two) Bachelors and Maids Taxed in Georgia Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 18.—The Georgia House of Representatives recently voted an amendment to the tax act, placing a $5.00 a year levy on every white Georgian over 30 and unwed. The measure will have to pass the Senate. Statisticians said that there are 784,000 bachelors over 30 in the state, which would yield $3,920,000 a year. But the house measure is not compared to the one proposed by Representative Lankford but voted down. Here is what he asked: Tax all unmarried white women and bachelors over 30, $100 per year; grass widows and widows, $200, and all couples married three years and childless, the sum of $500.00. (B.

Y., Aug. 18.—"Marcus Garvey is pursuing the wrong track in appealing to race prejudice and in advocating physical force in his efforts to secure justice to the Negro," declares J. Frank Wheaton when asked to comment upon the aims of the second international convention of Negroes now in session in New York City. Mr. Wheaton, who until last June was assistant district attorney of New York county, was the only colored man to sit in the Minnesota legislature. He was elected in a senatorial district in which there were not more than fifteen colored voters. "Our folks should be the last to exploit radicalism," said Mr. Wheaton. "I have always advocated the old adage, 'vinegar never catches flies' and any effort toward reconciling the two races should be made through bringing them into contact more frequently and by cultivating friendship and understanding. "We need educational propaganda to do this. Such books as Herbert J. Seligman's 'The Negro Faces America' are splendid educators, and what we need is more literature of that type. The public must be educated on all race problems if serious conflict is to be avoided. "There are thousands of white citizens who have not the slightest suspicion of the conditions that obtain in certain sections of our country, and it requires such propaganda as represented by 'The Negro Faces America' to arouse them to a spirited opposition to these un-American conditions. Missions Adopt Exceller (By The Associated Negro Press.) Chicago, Ill., Aug. 18.—The statement of principles and recommendations of the Home Missions Council of the Federal Council of Churches has created something of a sensation in religious circles. It is regarded the most revolutional action taken by a religious body in the entire history of the country. The Federal Council of Churches is a combination of the officials of all Protestant churches. Its main conclusions recommend that "The government, local, state and national, should impartially guarantee to all classes security of life and of property; that "The Negro should have economic justice, equal opportunity to get and hold wrok on the same terms Negro Hospital Issues Call For Nurses (By The Associated Negro Press.)

THE BEST Advertising Medium to Reach the Colored People Price Five Cents MOB Georgia Negro Kills Three; Wounds Eight Augusta, Ga., Aug. 18.—Five persons are dead as a result of disorders which began when a Negro ran amuck this afternoon through the center of the business section. Seven are known to have been wounded, two of them probably fatally. Patrolman W. W. Moore, an unidentified white man and a Negro were killed in a shooting affray following the initial outbreak of the apparently crazed man. Two other unidentified Negroes are reported dead. Crowds of armed citizens immediately gathered at the scene of the shooting, but were dispersed after some difficulty by the police, who were assisted in their task by a sudden rainstorm. With the cessation of the rain, however, other crowds swiftly collected and armed bands began to patrol the streets, leading to the fear on the part of the city authorities of racial clashes. The Illiteracy Status of Iowa Washington, D. C., Aug. 18.—Accord- ing to the census of 1920 there are 20,680 illiterate persons 10 years of age and over in the state of Iowa, "illiterate" meaning, unable to write. Of this number 5,921 are native whites of native parentage, 2,354 are of foreign or mixed parentage, and 11,004 are of foreign birth. The number of illiterate Negroes are 1,293. In the total population 10 years of age and over the percentage of illiteracy is 1.1, which, it is gratifying to note, shows a diminution since 1910, when it was 1.7. In the case of the Negroes the percentage declined from 10.3 to 8.1, and in the case of the native white of native parentage from 0.9 to 0.5. as other men, and with fair working and living conditions; that "The home of the Negro should receive the same measure of respect as that of other Americans; that "Qualifications for franchise should be administered irrespective of race, color or creed; and further declares that "Respect of Negro manhood and womanhood is the only basis for amicable race adjustment for race integrity and for permanent racial peace." The statement concludes with the following: "If we propose a democratic program for the protection and self-determination of the weak and oppressed people of Europe as a means of permanent peace and good-will abroad let us apply the same program at home." tients, it affords the unusual opportunity for nurse training.

DuBois knew that he and Marcus Garvey in New York at the same time when the Garvey idea is in boom would be unbearable so DuBois went to Europe when Garvey came to America. THREE CRISIS. In a man's life there are three tragedies. The first is when he decides that he is too old for Fauntleroy curls and mama decides otherwise that they are too cute. The second is when the high school Sallies that he thought he couldn't live without marries and he doesn't die. The third is his shape in a bathing suit. WHO SAID THEY DID? No woman ever actually took a man "for better or for worse." She takes him for better and always found him worse. If you are caught stealing ten dollars you will go to prison but, if you are caught stealing someone's reputation you will be elected to something. INCONSISTENCY. William Joseph Simmons in a page advertisement the other day said the K. K. K. does not encourage or foster lawlessness, racial prejudice or religious intolerance, and is not designed to act in the capacity of law enforcement or moral correction agency, except to apprehend criminals. If William Simmons will note carefully the working of his oragnizaton he will find that their strongest point in sitting up new organizations is to promote white supremacy which is the sources of all racial prejudice. So far as correcting morals is concerned the branding of a Negro in Texas for alleged affiliation with a white woman kills that statement. They flogged a white preacher in Florida for preaching equality of races or simple justice and such have been the case in every section where they are well organized. So far as taking the law in hand, etc., we need no better proof. We have courts, officers moral correcting agencies so, why have other cooks? It is well known that too many cooks spoil the broth. Why do they have to wear robes and hide their faces if they are nothing less than what the best American citizens could desire? It is just such get-ups that brought storming Russia to where she is today. The bolsheviki and the Czar trying to run things and they have brought anarchy, famine and all sorts of disorders. If our courts, as they stand can't handle the situation then the thing to do is to increase its working force and lets have one thing at a time. If the Ku Klux Klan wants to help her country in a true way why doesn't she break the walls of segregation, discrimination, lynching, mobbing and abolish the Jim Crow cars? Any organization that does the above will be honored as interpreting the constitution in a way that nothing else has. It can go, further along that line than the United States government has gone. We shouldn't worry about the K. K. K. if they are not what the imperial wizard says they are they will break their own darn neck. AYE. WHAT IS FAME. Jack Johnson went to Harlem last week fresh from a Federal prison term, and Harlem went wild with enthusiasm, spasms and hurrahs. Marcus Garvey also came to Harlem last week, fresh from sailing the salted seas, fearful that the Federal authorities would keep him out, and his worthyppers, whose name is legion, went wild with enthusiasm, spasms and hurrahs. What is fame? I passed up Beale avenue, the Avenue de Lenox of Memphis, one eve- ning last winter, and was surprised to find the thoroughfare blocked by a crowd of Afro-Americans in front of a popular theatre. "What's the trouble?" I asked a man and brother. "There ain't no trouble," he said, "only Mamie Smith is come to town agin." "Mamie Smith?" said I, "who is Mamie Smith?" "Go long, man? Doan you know 'bout Mamie Smith? Whah you cum frum?" I passed on, feeling cheap. Later I learned that Mamie Smith was a movie favorite of the race in that section. Again, in the same period that Mamie Smith had a large part of the race in Memphis backing their enthusiasm with a grown-up dollar admission ticket, Dr. William E. Du Bois came to Memphis with a message, which he delivered at Church's Auditorium; then came Dean William Pickens, with a message he delivered at the same place. But Afro-American Memphis refused to bubble with enthusiasm, spasms and hurrahs. The great names of Du Bois and Pickens were known to but few and they of the polite educated group, and their message was without the jazz appeal. About the same time I met Bishop A. J. Carey, of Chicago, in company with Dr. Snelson, on Beale avenue, but the passing race throng knew him not and passed him unnoticed, ignorant that one of the greatest church dignitaries, one of the most noted uplift workers in the church we have, was among them. Ave, what is fame? JAPAN A WORLD POWER. A few years ago Japan was thought of as inferior people and the Japanese spoken of as a yellow monkey." The Anglo-Saxons received one of his first and bitterest rebuffs at the hands of that great people. Since then, Japan has plodded ahead, and now is a contestant for international supremacy with fair prospects of getting first place. The world was sounded a death knell to European dominion. It is unlikely that Germany will recover his commercial supremacy. France will suffer a long time for want of money and manpower. England has her hands full, to continue the onward march of democracy among her subject nationalities. The contest for world supremacy has been brought to just two contestants—the United States and Japan. Uncalled for and unwarranted racial prejudice gives Japan a decided advantage. American not any too popular among the white races but among the yellow, brown and black races of the earth, they are feared and distrusted and often hated. Europe has had her day, Asia is having hers. The resources of America are undeveloped. It is the home of the most prolific and industrious people on earth, Japan believes that her powerful arm is able to guide the destinies of this great country. Her army and navy is second to none; her sea power is being developed more and more; and greatest of all she is the growing sentiment of democracy. She stands ready to defend the equality of races. Black races could do nothing better than to encourage and cultivate the friendship of Japan. Some of our young people should go to Japan and complete their education. The Bystander observes that the silent trait of the Japanese keeps the outside world wondering what step she will take next. That to our mind is a great requisition in fighting the battles of any people. We should also work more and talk less. Any time you see people what we are going to do they know just how to cut us off. Let the Japanese way of perpetual work in silence be a lesson to us—the earth's darker race.

This is somewhat camouflaged in the subscription blank but it is what it amounts to in substance WHO'S WHO EDITORIAL. The corresponding features of Henry Ford, President Harding, Thomas Edison, Harvey Ingham are that they are amiable every-day sort of men. These men are outstanding personalities in their spheres. Des Moines is fortunate in having a minister that is also the possessor of those identical qualities that make up those above named celebrities. We have found him to be booster for his church at his church at the picnic, swimming meaches and everywhere you find him boosting, boosting, boosting. And amid all this the splendid features is the fact that he is a booster for every first class Negro enterprise in the city. Very little could the world progress wore it not for such men. They man the great ships of industry, commerce and they are the builders of civilization, governments and in fact everything-that is worthwhile. Their value to the world is incomputable and is never fully realized. The man of whom we speak is Dr. George W. Robinson of the Corinthian Baptist chureh.

And now the details of how the Leeds fortune was started and built up are being recalled and uncovered. Few persons of great wealth had a humbler start in life than William B. Leeds of Richmond, Ind. It is a strange contrast to the life of the king, princesses and others of Greek royalty who now share its benefits. Leeds started in Richmond as a florist, and by his marriage in 1883 to a relative of Harry Miller, then general superintendent of the Pennsylvania railroad, he got work in the railroad field. At length he was division superintendent of the Richmond division of the Pennsylvania and his wife inherited a large sum of money. Then with Daniel G. Reid as a partner Leeds went into the making of tin plate. The tariff laws were aimed at the development of home industries and a tariff on tin plate permitted the growth of that business down in Indiana. Moore Brothers as Partners Acquiring the aid of W. H. and J. H. Moore of Chicago, Leeds and Reid soon organized the business on a national scale under the name of the American Tin Plate company. In 1899 the United States Steel corporation bought the concern and the profits of the "big four" were estimated to have been close to $40,000,000. Mr. Leeds and his associates invested their profits in the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific railroad. Those were the good old days of watered stocks and the Leeds-Reid-Moore combine soon had the Rock Island a far different institution than in the calm days of R. R. Cable's control. Leeds was made president of the road in 1902, but after two years he quarreled with his partners and was ousted from office. However, he had "cleaned up" and his fortune had grown apace. Meanwhile Leeds had been divorced from the wife of his earlier years—whose money was the nest egg of his huge fortune. She received a flat sum of $1,000,000. They had a son, Rudolph Gaar Leeds of Richmond—who by the way received $1,000,000 by his father's will. Mrs. Leeds No. 2, the present Princess Anastasia, was Miss Nannie May Stewart, daughter of a wealthy Ohio banker. She was regarded as one of the prettiest girls in Cleveland when she was married to George E. The increased sale of cosmetics proves the women's determination to change the nature of things. Nowadays when a thug has nothing else to do, he goes out and steals a few sacks of registered mail. What at first looked like an ordinary drive may turn out to be a home run if the Greeks don't stop. Russia has gold and gems, but what the world wants now is something to eat, to wear or to sleep under. The tug of war over the island of Yap shows what a lot of wire pulling it takes to control an ocean cable. In spite of treatment by specialists, it is feared the dollar never will be what it was in "the good old days." If Constantine does not quickly win the war with the Turks, Greece may decide that it wants to be a republic after all. FUL nt HAIR This Is Worth Trying with beautiful, luxuriant hair is alive.

JUSTICE SWIFT IN NEW JERSEY Trials of Bandits and Major Criminals Rushed on the Day of Arrest. IS FOUNDED ON CALVANISM Wheels of Court Move Quickly—Famed Not Only for Accuracy and Relentlessness, but for Fairness and Efficiency. Trenton, N. J.-Interesting light has been thrown on the operation and speed "of Jersey justice," as a result of recent convictions for murder and other crimes. While misdemeanors and felonies have increased in New Jersey, as elsewhere in the country in the last year or so, state records show that there have been few disagreements of juries, and prison sentences have been extended to maximum limits in order to discourage violations of the law. One feature of New Jersey law that few, if any, of the other states have, and which is said to have been a prime factor in giving the state its traditional reputation for Lightninglike court procedure, is a provision that a jury in a first degree murder trial may designate life imprisonment instead of the death penalty for the convicted person. This has resulted in many quick convictions for life imprisonment where, otherwise, there might have been jury disagreements. Quick Bandit Trials. Cases like that of the Union county bandits, Charles and John Krebs and Martin Shannon, who were sentenced to serve from 56 to 75 years each, and who were tried, convicted and were beginning to serve their sentences within 148 hours of their capture, are occurring daily in New Jersey, the present so-called "crime wave" apparently furnishing an excellent test for the efficiency of its courts. "Jersey justice," famed from Maine to Florida, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and even overseas, not only because of its speed, its accuracy and its relentlessness, but also because of its fairness and efficiency, was not established overnight. It is scarcely a tangible thing. It may be best described as "a state of mind," the people demanding that their law officers be efficient above everything else. Thus prosecutors, grand juries, judges, petit juries and all other branches of the administration of justice, which lead the criminal to prison and the murderer to the death chair, are just so many wheels and gears and belts in an almost perfectly working "machine" whose motive power is the people.
