Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol. 18, No. 49, J. B. ROLAND HAYES IN CLASS BY HIMSELF Wichita, was honored with the presence of Mr. Roland Hayes, treas- accompanist, Mr. William Lawrence; Mr. Mann, his private secretary and Mr. Lincoln, his manager. One of the finest audiences, that this city has ever given an artist was given at the Wichita High School Auditorium, Saturday evening, Mar. 6, 1920. May-be, not the largest audience, but an audience of quality, Four well Known, broadhearted financiers, whose names are not given, made a contribution, making it possible for 300 Y. W. C. A. Girl Reserves to be present. Mr. Hayes began his program allowing he was an artist, fully prepared with all the technique acquired, study and association with the best in the musical world. His relations in German and Italian, proved his ability to master languages with all accents and enunciations with a full interpretation of their lyric on the writers. After the highest criticism had their feast, he touched the sentimental world, interpreted the soul of great writers to the satisfaction of those who have learned to love God, humanity and the things made that God could prove His wisdom and love for the creatures He has made. He also melted the hearts of fellow men and women and showed the sweetness of genuine love. He still brought the sweetness of his soul near to the souls of his audience when he interpreted the pains and hopes of his race with Negro Spirituals. He expressed his thanks to his God, for his talent and for the Gift of His Son, the Revealer of the worth of the souls of men, when he sang: "The Crucifixion." There is something about his voice that we have never detected in other voices and it must be a Big Soul that the finger of love has touched, which the silvery cords are trying to express to the satisfaction of God for His wonderful gift and selection of him as favorite one. He is the first artist that had a program that all could enjoy, some love for his stage etiquette, some for his manner of coming in and going off the stage, some for the way he governed or quieted his audience, some for his graceful hows, some for the lingering sweetness of his last tones, some for his waiting until they have seasoned every soul in the house, some for his beautiful white teeth, and all united on the sweetness of his tenor tone, of the salvery or golden quality that seemed to arrest every ethereal wave of the building and fill it full of sweetness, which passed it through the car to the souls of every hearer, revealing the fact that they were in the presence of a master. All praise should be given the Coleridge-Taylor Conservatory of Music Miss Dorothy L. Sims, founder and president, the Inter-racial Committee of Good Will, Capt. W. L. Hutcherson, Chaitman, and the Wichita Council of Churches, Dr. Ross W Sanderson, Executive Secretary for making it possible for him to be presented here. It is a fact that Wichita, can never be the same since a full audience of the finest of both OHIO ATTY. GEN. BARS PRIVATE SHOWING OF 'BIRTH OF NATION' OHIO ATTY. GEN. BARS PRIVATE SHOWING OF 'BIRTH OF NATION' (Freston News Service) COLUMBUS, OHIO, Mar. 12—Attorney General Crabb in a ruling Wednesday, barred from private showings in Ohio the old motion picture, "The Birth of a Nation."

REPORT BRUTAL MURDER OF NEGRO REPORT BRUTAL MURDER OF NEGRO (N. A. A. U P.) NEW YORK, Mar. 12—The National Advancement of Colored Pea l, 60 South Avenue, has received reports and newspaper chippings recounting the brutal murder by white men of G. H. Donaldson, a Negro insurance agent in the town of Dublin, Ga., the excuse given by the white, being that the Negro "resisted arrest," when solved with a defective warrant. The trouble arose when Donaldson, driving his automobile, was run into by the automobile of Ezra Kea. The crash was witnessed by two white men, Bartow Jones and Ira Clark, who are quoted by a local white news paper as saying that the white driver was to blame for the accident, as he was running on the wrong side of the road. The white man, Kea, together with two other white men, obtained a defective warrant for Donaldson's arrest, not knowing the name of the Negro whose automobile Kea had run into. The three whites are said to have remarked on having obtained their defective warrant that they "were going to have a settlement or a Negro." A fight ensued when the three whites reached Mr. Donaldson's home, and Mr. Donaldson was shot and killed, two of the white men being wounded. In a dying statement made by Mr. Donaldson, he declared he did not have a pistol when he went to the door at the summons of the three whites; that one white man grabbed him by the collar and tried to drag him down the steps as soon as he opened the door and that the other white men joined in, one of them shooting him. A Negro witness is quoted as corroborating Mr. Donaldson's statement that he had no pistol and that the three white men began feating him before he had an opportunity to defend himself. The three whites were jailed following the murder. The murdered man had a good reputation and Clerk of Council A. II. Grler is quoted as having assured the three whites before they called on Mr. Donaldson that they would find him ready to do what was right and would have no difficulty in settling the matter amicably. An editorial in the local Courier-Herald in commenting on the case declares: "If our civilization has progressed to the point we claim, it is time to stop 'white-washing' a crime because it is a case of a white man against a Negro." One of the white men has already been acquitted by a jury and the case against the other two is expected to be dropped, according to latest advices received by the N. A. C. P. races sat in the presence of each other and drank from the soul of a real talent, who was so generous that he gave five answers to encorce, which made us feel that we could dwell together longer and understand better and all would be blessed. His accompanist is an ideal dream in the music lovers' world. Thus Wichita is living with a mind of expectancy of his return in the near future. WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, Mar. 12. 1926. BOYS SENTENCED FOR TAKING A NICKEL (Preston News Service) KANSAS CITY, MO. Mar. 12—For a five cent robbery, Robert Clark and John Jackson, whites youths, each were sentenced to ten years in the state penitentiary here, Thursday. It was testified at the trial that the nickel was taken from an aged Negro in a street holdup. A jury imposed the sentences. JOHN H. Pastor of the Antloch Missionar Baptist Church, Topeka, Kansás, Baptist State Convention Board and all Auvihary Workers will meet Mar. 17, 18, 1926. Come a fine reception awaits you. THE WEEK'S EDITORIAL (White Press) (N. A. A. C. P. ) A growing sentiment against lynching among southern whites, linked with the desire to prevent the passage of a federal anti-lynching law by making it unnecessary through state action, shown by the recent action of the Mississippi State Bar Association in issuing an appeal to all Mississippi citizens to oppose moa run at every opportunity. This courageous and eloquent condemnation of lynching by the lawyers of Mississippi has widely quoted and commended by the press of the nation. A tragic illustration of the enormous task confronting far-sighted Southern leaders who endeavor to arouse the public conscience of their section to oppose lynch law was furnished by the killing of a Negro by a mob in Clarksdale, a town in one of the least enlightened sections of Mississippi, only a short time after the publication of the Bar Association statement. The Negro, Lindsey Coleman, was one of several arrested for the murder of Grover C. Nicholas, a planter. Coleman was triel and acquitted. A few minutes after he walked from the courtroom, a free man, he was selzed by a mob and hanged. The sheriff was indicted for "failure to deliver a prisoner" and fined $500. Late in January, G. O. Cain, the leader of the mob was tried for murder in connection with this lynching in the Coahoma County Circuit Court and acquitted. The jury deliberated 27 hours and was several times reported hopelessly deadlocked. The fact that a member of the mob was actually put on trial is sufficiently novel to be in itself encouraging as to the State's attitude. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, reports 18 lynchings for the year 1925, as opposed to 10 for 1924. Six of the 1925 lynchings took place in Mississippi; in 1924 there were only 2 reported for that State. These figures, based on lynchings reported in the press and verified by investigation, can hardly represent anything like the total number that actually took A CHRISTIAN PRIZE FIGHTER (COLUMBIAN Press Bureaux) WASHINGTON, Mar. 11—An inter- esting "close-up" that reveals a new type of prize tighter appeared March last in the New York "Daily Mirror." In a special article, Jack Conway, the clever sports writer, says in part: "Tiger Fowler spent" his first Sunday as middleweight champion of the world reading the Bible, attending church vices and in the afternoon making plans for his return to Camille. Ga- where he will be welcomed by the ease of the Methodist Church there, of which he is a Deacon. 'After breakfast, he and his family spent a half hour reading the Bible. They first read the Twenty-third Psalm then the Tiger' turned to the passage with which he won over his brothers and sisters of the church when they lited him for fighting from the same room he read; 'Blessed be theORD my strength, which teaches mydu to war and my fingers to flight,thine his two little daughters were begged for church the championn his wife spent the next half hourtheir music. The 'Tiger' played thejoin while his wife accompanied himin the piano. They played 'Rock ofAges' and 'Lead Kindly Light' ansemed very happy. Once or twice the'Tiger' teased down to kiss his wife.' We thank Jack Conway and the'Danny Mirror' for giving us this insight into the character of this newchampion. SEGREGATION FIGHT GOES TO STATE SUPREME COURT The case of Archie Greathouse against the Board of School Commissioners of the City of Indianapolis, in which the right to establish a segregated high school is being contested, has gone to the Suprema Court of the State, according to reports just received and is public by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 60) Fifth Avenue, New York. The National Office and the Indianapolis Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. has been contributing money and legal advice in this case where suit is being brought to restrain in City of Indianapolis from erecting a segregated high school. Heretofore there have been no such schools and the present action, now referred to the Indiana Supreme Court, is aimed to prevent the bringing of segregation into Northern and border States. The case is being fought by attorney W. S. Henry. Robert L. Bailey and W. E. Henderson. Mr Bailey writes of the transfer of the case to the State Supreme Court: "While the result is but a temporary victory, we are hopeful of final victory and are today preparing a petition for oral argument before the Supreme Court, which we hope will be granted." ATTENTION! All moneys of the Southwestern District Association must be forwarded to Rev B. L. Marchant, 1009 Wabash Avenue, Wichita, Kans., recently elected General Secretary, in the place of Rev. I. H. Fisher. place. Many lynchings, particularly in remote country districts where law enforcement is always less strict than in urban districts, are never reported in the papers. And the South has become so sensitive on the subject that lynchings are sometimes euphemistically reported as homicides of less offensive sorts. Accurate figures, if they could be obtained, would probably show a more serious state of affairs than the very conservative statistics of the N. A. A. C. P. present. Whether the next step in dealing with it will be through the Dyer Anti-Lynching law or other federal legislation or through state action is largely a matter for the South to determine. ITALIAN COUNTESS VISITS FISK UNIVERSITY The Courtesa muse di Robilant of Rome, Italy, visited Fisk University on Tuesday Morning, March 3, and gave an inspiring message to the students at the regular Chapel exercise. The Countess has been in the United States since the World War, looking after the interest of the Italy-America Society. She is at present visiting throughout the South with a view of adding to her already large store, inform on regarding American life. It is her purpose to write a book on American culture for distribution in Italy. The Countess is especially interested in Literature and Art. One of her recent works is the translation of Booker T. Washington's "Up From Slavery" into Italian. The students were impressed with her sincerity and sympathetic understanding of many of our problems. WHY WHITE USHERS? The question has been asked, "Why were white girls used at the Roland Hages Recital instead of colored girls?" On behalf of the committee, the following the reason: The Ushers Corps of the High School, a group, trained for the job; and generally paid liberally for non-High School features, offered their services, gratuitously; and the committee accepted them.

FORCE HOPELESS IN ADJUSTING RACE RELATIONS FORCE HOPELESS IN ADJUSTING RACE RELATIONS LIT SETTLES NOTHING, SPEAKER TELLS METHODIST MEN SPIRITUAL MEANS ALONE AVAIL NEW ORLEANS LA, March II—"The use of force for the adjustment of race relations is utterly deceptive and futile" said R. B. Eleazer, of Atlanta, speaking before the Council of Methodist Men in Wesley Church, this city, which was attended by several hundred pastors and lay leaders of Bishop Robert E. Jones' Episopal Area. "Force may sometimes seem to settle a question for the time being," he continued, "but in the end it creat a another and a more difficult question for future solution. To appeal to force is like riding on an excursion ticket to a place you don't want to go; it usually leaves you further from the desired goal than when you started. Neither race has anything but trouble to expect from it." The speaker cited slavery, mob rule, and the cult of Nordicism as illustrations of the doctrine of force. "Those who are advocating the resort to force for the preservation of Nordic supremacy are simply advising the human care to enter upon a wholesale orgy of moral and spiritual murder and suicide," the speaker maintained. "Race problem," he said, "like other spiritual issues, can be solved only by spiritual means—by the appeal to reason, mutual understanding and good will. There is no other way." As illustrating the latter method the speaker sketched briefly the development and results of the interracial movement in the South, which is founded upon the principles of conference and co operation between the races.

Buchanan was called and answered the summon March 3. Miss Alice Dupree was born at Macon, Miss., a teacher in that state for years; was married to Rev. C. A. Buchanan, minister and teacher, and to this union was born four children, John R., Annie B., Lewbertha, and J. Walter; three of whom survive her; her husband having preceded her some years she made her home with her daughter Mrs. Lewbertha Chambers, Guthrie, Oklahoma, until the end came. About two years ago, she suffered a partial stroke but was in fairly good health until about a week prior to her death. Mrs. Buccanan was once matron of the Central Mississippi College, at Kosciusko, Mississippi, and so mutual was the association between her and the many pupils now scattered all over the country that they will be grieved to get this very sad news.

Junction City News SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH Sunday was a most enjoyable day: though the wind was blowing hard, penetrating heavy overcoats, thin dresses and low-cut shoes, but that did not prevent the faithful few from being at their post. 9:30 Sunday School opened with Supt. Bro. R. L. Robinson, presiding. Attendance fairly good, and many wonderful thoughts brought out about "Washing Feet" telling exactly why people washed feet during the apostles and disciples' time, being due to a custom that was practiced; people in those days wore no shoes, stockings, nor socks, only a sandal, traveling thru the deserts, hot sands and alkali evidently their feet and legs sore and burning needed attention, and cool water was the remedy. Being the custom when one came to another's home for the hostess to see to it that the company wash their face and they would wash the company's feet. (giving service that was needed.) Washing feet is no longer a practice among all churches thinking, studying and interpreting, is throwing light upon things that the majority of folks in days passed and gone were taking the other fellow's word. A spiritual testimonial meeting was witnessed at 11; we were very glad to have Dea. Devine worship with us all day; he is usually deprived of being to an all day service because of his work. 6:30 B. Y. P. U., well attended. 7:45 Pastor Rainey chose text, St. Matt. 28:18, subject, "Power." Pastor Rainey is either preaching better or his flock is seeing the light better and the understanding is a triump, and our hearts burned as he talked to us of power. Much food for the hungry soul, much thought for the thinker. The Lord's Supper was administered. Sisters B. Herrington, C. Clay, L. Crews, J. Tolbert and Sister C. Parah are on the sick list.—H.

In a quietly efficient manner, with a degree of perfection that leaves no detail overlooked, we have won the confidence of those we serve and those who see us serve. CITIZENS MORTUARY 110 W.

As you know I was asked to take charge of the Missionary Work for the Southwestern District. For many years Rev. Matt. S. Jones, an efficient worker, and one in whom I had much confidence, has been directing this work, but his call to Colorado, made it necessary for this change. Let us pray that Rev. Jones in his new field of labor will endear himself to his church as he did on our Missionary Field. And now for our future Missionary activities since I have been appointed it is my aim to give all the spare time I possibly can from my church. 1241 WABASH AVE.

Covington, 501 N. Water St. Phone M. 1655 Local Editor Entered as second-class matter June 12th 1919, at the Post Office at Wichita, Kansas, under the Art of March 8, 1879. The writer of any article must sign name whether or not it is to be published. Write on one side of paper. We reserve the right to reject any matter for publication.—Notify us at IF there is a future greatness, 'it certainly is not based on worldly pleasure. There are some people so spiritually ignorant until they say: "I can go from the ball-room with Jesus," when He said: "If you would be my disciples let him deny himself, take up my cross and follow me." We must say: that Jesus leads in the ball-room or to the card table, or we must say, we are not following Him. The better of the two sinners in one who will admit it is wrong, but I am weak; than the one who will attempt to make wrong, right, to clear himself. David said: I would rather open and close the door for the seekers of truth, than rest easy in the tents of the wicked. We should all labor, crucify and glorify our lives so that our last days will be best days. DR. D. W. CANNON, Atlanta Ga. President of the S. S. and B. Y. P. U. Congress is very much indisposed, is the news reaching us just as we go to press. Prayers are asked that he may be strengthened. WHAT KIND OF TOWN? What kind of a town is this? Is it conservative or progressive? Is it generous or stingy? Is it prosperous or broke? Does it face forward or backward? Who can answer such questions? We seek not a Chamber of Commerce answer for publicity purposes, but an honest, scientific answer for purposes of community building, for purposes of social and religious engineering. Why does the Chest go over so tardily? Why should we consider losing Fairmount to Topeka? On the other hand, why are we the only city in the state with a Council of Churches? Why are we so singularly free from theological controversy? There are entries on both sides of the ledger. Maybe, like the individuals who make it up, Wichita is a mixture. Bishop McConnell is always saying something to prove that he can be a bishop and a prophet at the same time. For example he said to the Wesleyan Association of Boston recently, "In every issue of every religious paper there ought to be distinct and definite attempt so to phrase some aspect of religious truth that the phrasings will voice more than the opinion of the writer, alone." "The worst obstacle to the progress of Christianity the world over is the glaring contradiction between the Christ ideal and actual social, international and racial facts in modern so-called Christian communities," said Bishop McConnell. "America has become immensely powerful in material possessions. The only method that will keep America Christian is the fearless preaching of the social, international, and racial responsibilities of power, no matter whether the holders of the power like this preaching or not." Brave words, Bishop. Keep them them up. We like courageous bishops. —The Wishita Church Chronicle CITY ITEMS. Miss Johnnie Scott, daughter of Dr. J. L.

NEW LIGHT TURNED UPON IT (Preston News Service) "A few weeks ago, Secretary Penn said he was, by accident, in a Southern city in a group of white students of the South, discussing the progress of Inter-racial amity and good will. Some of the students from Southern Universities and Colleges said 'The position taken by some of our people, toward the Negro, is to us so unchristian and silly, as to make us look with pity upon them, rather than upon the Negro.' The Atlanta case is at once so unchristian and silly, the pity is upon those who sponsor it and not those against whom it is directed." "Suppose Negroes had, by law, to buy shoes from Negroes in Atlanta because white people were not allowed to fit shoes on them for sanitary reasons, as white men must not be shaved by Negroes for sanitary reasons, then fifty thousand Negroes in Atlanta buying shoes from Negroes at an average of five dollars a pair, two pairs a year, would mean half million dollars a year for Negroes in the shoe business and consequent loss to white business of half million, as there are no Negro shoe merchants in Atlanta. No wonder the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce calls a halt on legislation, which is consistently carried into other forms of business would be a revolution in more ways than one. It only tends show that prejudice is ignorance and ignorance is bad and always acts without the long book." THE NEGRO STAR YOUR'S AS A FRIEND. AS SEEN BY MANY Many out of town guests were here for the Roland Hayes Concert; some of the names we did not get. Those coming the farthest distance whose names we did get, were Prof. and Mrs. Malone, Miss Eula MeeGee, and Mr. Edmond Peebles, who motored 600 miles, from Arkansas, to hear the noted tenor. The C. T. C., wishes to thank all who in any way helped put over the big Roland Hayes Concert so successfully, especially does the committee thank the High School ushers who gave their service, Mr. and Mrs. Hicks and Dr. and Mrs. Bell who opened their doors for the Roland Hayes Company, making it pleasant for them, and company coming and going to meet them. It was a success PERFECT BISCUITS EVERY TIME thruout. Mr. Hayes and company were impressed with Wichita. Mr. Hayes is vitally interested in the maintenance of the C. T. Conservatory and offers valuable suggestions to Miss Sims, concerning it. Mr. Lawrence promises to send much valuable literature and music back. They thought the Conservatory idea a great step forward for the Negroes of the West. They urge Miss Sims to publish her original compositions. They were very much impressed with Madame Gray's beautiful soprano voice. Mr. Hayes said: "Your enunciation and expression are excellent; you have the artistic finish and the best of all you have retained your naturalness." Said Mr. Lawrence: "As a rule, I do not care for soprano, but there is something different about your voice—those wonderful high tones, move me within."2 St. Paul Notes. Mark 14:18, was the portion of Scripture stected by our pastor, Rev. C. E. Brooks, at 11 a.m., who delivered a great message. The Holy Sacrament was administered, and his subject dwelt largely upon the memorable occasion that meant so much to mankind; that we should come with prepared hearts to partake of the Lord's Supper. We betray Christ when we do not live according to our professed Christianity, and our influence to do good is lost to the world. There was a large congregation, present to worship with us including many out of town visitors and from the various churches of the city. Rev. Brooks also preached a very excellent sermon again at evening. Our Bible School was alive with interest and well filled classes. We were highly pleased to have the visitors who attended to be with us. Prof. W. A. Carter of Coffeyville, reviewed the lesson study. The A. C. E. League held their meeting at 7:30 p. m. The Ladies' Aid Society have arranged to hold a cooked food sale, Sat. Mar. 20th at Jordan's Tailor Shop, 601 N. Main. The Mile Missionary Society held their regular weekly meeting on Friday afternoon.
