THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE FOUR BILLS AGAINST LYNCHING. ```markdown ``` Vr L. 14 NO. 1 Democrats Attempt Ridicule. A Racial Commission for the United States... (By The Associated Negro Press) Washington, D.C, April 29, President Harding's message to Congress has spurred Senator Representatives to action. Bills and resolutions are being introduced higher, thither and you, seeking to carry out his laudable suggestions. By the same token, members of the Democratic minority are bestiring themselves with sensational vigor and efforts to shine for their constituents by introducing measures ridiculous in their purport of prejudicial and antiquated demands. On the subject of lynching there have been at least fourbills introduced. The first-by Senator McCormick calls for a mission on lynching. Accompanying the bill, Senator McCormick has sent a communication to Senator Nelson, chairman of the indictary committee, to which the bill has been referred. In it the Senator says: The appalling number of lynchings since the New Year; the condition of peonage and the horrible murders consequent thereon, disclosed in the Williams trial in Jasper county, Georgia, cry out for immediate action by Congress." After quoting that portion of President Harding's message to Congress on the Race Question, Senator McCormick continues: If there is doubt as to the Constitutional power of Congress to legislate for the punishment of lynch murders, there can be none as to the Constitutional powers to create such a commission as my bill contemplates. If by inaction we continue to countenance lynching we shall invite the reprobation of the people of the United States, and indeed, of the civilized world." Senator McCormick seeks to have it distinctly known that he prefers a bill on lynching that will punish the lynchers, is this can be worked out. He says: "If the lawyers on the Committee on judiciary can draft a bill to confer upon the national government, under the constitution, the power to apprehend and punish inciters to mob violence, and those who murder in the name of lynch law. I hope that they may do so, and with dispatch. If the Committee decem it wise to broaden the scope of the bill in the sense suggested in the President's address, well and good, but above all I ask for action on the measure to the end that the President may appoint a commission which by public presentation of the uncontroverted facts, may organize and mobilize public opinion to assure the support of the people for the lawofficers of the states and imbue them with the courage and the sense of duty necessary to guard men and women from lynching." OTHER BILLS INTRODUCED. Other bills ou lynching have been introduced, as predicted by The Associated Negro Press, by Congressman Dyer of St Louis, and Congressman Dalinger, of Massachusetts. Their Merchants Who Advertise in a Race Paper, Desire Your Patronage-Give Them a Trial. WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, April. 29. 1921. According to Law Not Guilty-According to Prejudice, Must be Mistreated. Frederick, Md., April—An attempt at mob violence was made upon Charles Henry Dorsey, Baltimore, the Negro malleged to have made a criminal attack on Delsie Tweedale, Catonsville sixteen years old, a few days ago when Chief Judge Hammond Urner announced the opinion of the court treeing the Colored man. It was Dorsey's second trial, the first at Towson, Md., resulting in his conviction and sentence to death. A new trial was granted by the court. the conviction having been by a jury on the grounds on considerable doubt as to a positive identification of the man. The case was moved to this country for re-trial. When the decision was made M. S. Tweedale, brother of the girl, leaped from his chair beside his sister, and dashed for Dorsey. Before the officers could head him off, Tweedale had struck the man, causing thblood to flow from his cheek. Mrs. R. W. Rogers, Richmond, Va., sister of the complainant, joined in the attact, throwing a water glass at Dorsey who had rushed to the judges' platform for protection. The glass missed Dorsey and strutk Court Clerk Eli G Haugh. The courtroom spectators became an excited mob, but they were quieted when Judge Urner walked to the front of the judges' platform and announced that the life of the prisoner would be protected. In the meantime Dorsey was whisked from the courthouse and rushed in the auto mobile, to the county jail. When it became noised around that the Negro had left the courtroom the crowd followed, same giving chase in automobiles. At the jail pursuit was abandoned. All during the following evening crowds of men gathered on street corners, discussing the possibility of the prisoner's presence in Frederick county. Dorsey left the city shortly after the trial and was said to have headed for Washington or Virginia. Miss Tweedale took no part in the demonstration. As Judge Urner announced the verdict of "not guilty" she suddenly arose and in a hysterical manner cried; "He's guilty! I know he's guilty!" She collapsed weeping. The next instant her brother had leaped at the man. There was no display of guns. The officers used none in quieting the courtroom. COFFEYVILLE. MISS.

She 87 years old lived a consistint Christian of the Mealy Creek Baptist Church 'till death claimed her She requested Rev. T J. Rucker to attend her funeral and her remains were put to rest in the Elm Grove Cemetery. (By The Associated Negro Press) Madrid, April-A protest against the occupation of San Domingo by United States troops is contained in a message sent to President Harding by a group of prominent Spaniards, including former Premier Court Romanones, Francisco Cambon, former Minister of Public Work; Prof. Miguel Unamuno of Salamanca University and others. The message says: "We protest against the occupation of San Domingo and the suppression of rights and liberties there, and we invoke in favor of the Dominican Republic the ideal of the United States, whose name would gain a new title of respect and admiration of humanity by the triumph of those ideal." (By The Associated Negro Press) Wheeling, W Wa., April 29- Driven from their homes in many instances without being give n an opportunity to collect their belongings, Colored residents of Beech Bottom, Brooke county, have sought temporary refuge in surrounding towns, nearly a score being housed in hotels and among friends in Wheeling. The inpatient race riot Saturday night was the aftermath of an attack Friday night on Mrs. John Horn, a white woman 22 year old who was waylaid, it is believed, by two prisoners who escaped f rom the Wellsburg jail One of the prisoners was a Negro The mob spirit developed soon after news was received in Beech Bottom of the outrage and many Colored citizens were warned by friends that they had better leave the community. No violence was shown, however, 'till after dark when a crowd collected and made a tour of the Colored section. Families were roused from their beds and informed that they had 'till noon Sunday to get out these warnings brimming punctuated with a fusillade of shots. From one refugee, a woman who with two small children is now staying at the Vense Hotel on Market St., it was learned that the mob numbered at times 75 men and boys, some of the later appearing not more than 14 years old, and all armed with rifles, and shot guns. From the Brook County sheriff's office assurance was given yesterday that the community was quiet and that extra deputies were patrolling the section to prevent further outbreaks. One Colored man, J. C. Cason, manager of a boarding house for colored workmen, defied the mob when it called on him, declaring that he would not yield his rights until he was killed. He and one other man, are the only Colored persons who stayed in Beech Bottom over night, it is reported A Gold Pass for President Harding. By The Negro Associated Press Washington, April 26.—President Harding has been presented with a solid gold pass for the games of the Washington Colored Baseball Association that will be played in the American League SOUTHERN EDUCA TOR SPEAKS IN EAST AND MIDDLE-WEST. Utica Institute, Miss., April 29, William H Ho'zclaw, principal and founder of the Utica Normal and Industrial Institute in Mississippi has just closed a very successful speaking tour of the East and Middle West, his last speech being delivered to Detroit in the Second Baptist Church. Among the places in which he delivered addresses since he left Waahington D. C., a month ago, were New York, Boston, Rochester and Detroit. In fashionable Lake Avenue Baptist Church of Rochester, N. Y. has perhaps made his strongest plea for his Institution and for his Race. In his oratorical flights which abounded throughout his address to this rich Northern audience, he said: "The Negro is determined to come to the front in the South and the North alike. No power on earth can keep him down. Every effort made to hinder him, the Negro uses as a stepping stones to high things life is having a difficult time in his effort to go forward, what with a little over a dollar a year for his education in Alabama, but this does not discourage him. He is 'on his way' and asks of white Americans only a man's choice. The Utica Institute is one of the largest schools for Negroes in the South, requiring more than a thousand dollars a year for its support. The presentation was made by a delegation from the Club and citizens. The presentation speech was made by Judge Robert H. Terrell, of the district Municipal Court, who stated that it was the desire of the citizens and the players that the President throw the first ball at the opening game, even if he could remain but a few minutes, to give encouragement to the sport. President Harding/stated that it was unnecessary for anyone to try to tell him of the ability of the Colored boys to play ball, as for years some of the best games he has ever been were during the winter season by Colored teams in Florida. The very day the pass was presented, the President attended the opening of the American League games between Washington and Boston. He pitched the ball and remained throughout the game. John R. Williams is President and Edgar Buckner Secretary of the association. The newspaper representatives in the delegation that called upon the President were J Finley Wilson, of the Washington Eagle, V. L Williams, of the Negro World, New York, and Daniel Nhum Brascher If the Associated Negro Press. CAN YOU BEAT IT.. Palatk Fla., Apr, 20, - K. T. Nottage, Colored, was elected alderman from the sixth ward in the municipal election here, defeating C. E. Porter, a white man. The election of Nottage places two Colored men on the council, the other member also being from the sixth ward, a district populated almost entirely by Negroes. Dr. A. Porter Davis Owns His Own Office Building. Twas a hot, sultry day in July when an un known and un heralded young physician with hardie enough money in his pockets to buy a postage stamp, beg an his professional life in Kansas City, Kansas almost eight years ago. Today that young man is worth, in round figures, $50,000. The meteoric rise of Dr. A. Porter Davis, for that is the name of this wonderfully successful health restorer and administrator reads like a story of Alladin. Dr. Divis came to Kansas City, Kansas; in July 1913. He had less than thirty dollars in his pocket as he was looking around for a location from whence he could hang out his sign. The outlook was not very promising but the young physician had the dogged courage, the abiding faith and patience and a supreme confidence in himself. Small-though his practice was during the first few months, his reputation as a phyecian grew with each successive pattect. It wasn't long then, before his name became a byword and his office a shrine that the ailing found in their search for health and happiness. The life history of the hminent physician is exceedingly interesting. He was born in Palestine Texas. Nov. 13, 1888 and attended the school system of the Lone Star State. He graduated from Lincoln High School in Palestine in 1907 and immediately took up the study medicine at Meharry Medical College Nashville, Tennessee, graduating from there in 1913 with honors. While a student at the Tennessee institution Davis carved his name in the athletic world and won his letter in two great major sports of the institution baseball and football. From 1900 to 1913 he was one of Meharry's star pitchers and one of the best ends that ever played on the famous old schools eleven. He was also a clever trick artist on a bicycle, having been a member of the famous Carson Minstrels when a mere boy, learning numerous acrobatic stunts and trick acts. Another interesting feature of the young phican's life was his accomplishments as a musician He played for many of the fraternity dances and sang with the Glee club and quartet of Meharry Nor had his professional life interfered with his love for music and his contributions to it he has demonstrations publicly on a number of occasions. Dr. Davis sang with the Ophelia Jackson Quartett for two years and has also taken part in the Lincoln High School Musical. Almost immediately after war was declared on Imperial Germany by the United States Government, Dr. Davis volunteered for duty and was commissioned a first lieutenant and resigned to the Kansas State Colored Volunteers. In 1918 he represented the Negro National LEqual Rights League of Kansas at Washington D.C. during the National Negro Congress. He is a member of Wheatley-Provident Hospital staff and belongs to the Masonic and Elk Fraternal organizations. Dr. Davis has the most modern and elaborate offices at 422 Minnesota Ave, Kansas City, Kan- PRICE, FIVE CENTS FIRST DELEGATION FROM BALTIMORE Cheerfully Greeted by President Harding. (By The Associated Negro Press) Waseington, April-It is a matter of singular co-incidence that the first large delegation of Colored American citizens to be received at the White House by President Harding should come from Baltimore,-the boyhood home of Frederick Douglas, twenty-four hours after the President delivered his first, and most memorable message, to Congress. The delegation represented the Lincoln Republican League of Baltimore, and twenty-five members in all, came to Washington by special appointment, to pay their respects to the President. They were under the direction of Dr. Earnest Lyons, and were received in the Executive offices by the President who expressed great pleasure of the opportunity to meet the visitors, and thanked them for their cordial words of co-operation. Following, the President shook hands with each visitor and extended a cheerful word of greeting. Those in the delegation were: Dr. Lyons, W. T. Andrews, C. H. Stephens, Councilman W. L. Fitzgerald, E. S. Williams, Geo. A. Watty, Wn. I. Blake, Alexander Williams, Jeremiah Hawkins, Geo. B. Brown, Jas. P. Brown, I. R. Williams, Dr. C. H. Fowler, H M. St. Clair, D. D. Curplan, Mrs. Marie W. Lyons, E L. Steptlan, Mrs. E. L. Touxtens, Mrs. Jennie Mills, and d Mrs. Lulu M. Williams. ssas. The purchase of the Minnesota Avenue Building, located in the heart of the business district was a notable reality transaction, and Dr. Davis deserves a world of praise and credit for the rapid ank modern development of it. He owns the entire building now known as the Davis Building, valued at about $18,000 and is one of the few physicains with certificates to practice medicine in three states, namely, Kansas, Missouri, and Tennessee. He uses two office girls to be better prepared to take care of his patients night and day. Last week Dr. Davis purchased from the Roberts Company, Negro Automobile Brokers, a beautiful marmon 34 special four-passenger model costing $5,500. It is his third purchase during the last five years and he is immensely bleased with his new machine. The doctor is an exceedingly loyal Race man and when agents, in their periodical visits in the, interests of the various automobile houses offered to undersell the Roberts Company, he very diplomatically, but clearly gave them to understand that his mind was made up as to whom he would deal with.
