Head of Elks Seeks Change In Law To Bring Reelection
Alleged Failure of Present Administration Has Aroused Strong Opposition to Grand Exalted Ruler Wibecan
Annual Session at Newark Next Month Will Be Scene of Interesting Developments When an Accounting is Demanded of Official
The annual convention of the Order of Elks which is scheduled to be held at Newark, N. J., in August is arousing much advance interest owing to the fact that the present administration is alleged to be laying plans for a perpetuation of its control through the reelection of George E. Wibecan of Brooklyn, N. Y., as grand exalted ruler.
It is asserted by some of those interested in the matter that the laws of the Order declare that the grand exalted ruler's tenure of office is limited to one term, but that the present incumbent seeks to abrogate this law and hopes to be reelected, not only this year, but for several years to come.

139th St. Residents Have Created "Block Beautiful"
Organized Kingscourt Association for Purpose of Beautifying Homes and Flowers, Evergreens and Trees Have Been Planted
In a crowded section of New York City, such as Harlem, seldom is any civic interest or pride in the neighborhood or block shown. There is in Harlem, however, one Block Association that has been doing a remarkable work in beautifying their homes and the block in which they live.
This organization, the Kingscourt Association of 139th street, between Seventh and Eighth avenues, has, by its program of keeping that street clean, quiet and free from public annoyances, made 139th street the most beautiful street in Harlem.
This ambition of the Brooklyn man does not meet with unqualified approval. The announcement is made that Attorney William Stanton, a prominent Pittsburgh lawyer, and J. Finley Wilson, editor of the Washington Eagle, are making the race to succeed Wibecan, and reports are that both have enrolled considerable followers. Additional strength is given to this opposition because it is declared that Wibecan's administration has been decidedly negative. When elected last year at Boston, the new head made flamboyant and exaggerated premises as to what he intended doing. One of the most ambitious projects was the establishing of a big insurance department in which large numbers of Elks and Daughter Elks would be employed, the scope of which would rival that of the big insurance companies. It will not be known what progress has been made in this direction until the Newark session.
Failed to Add Prestive.
Although in his pre-election campaign When was hailed as a great organizer and successful worker, there were those who had their doings as to his life. It was not believed by those who had had animate, humanized, and moralized that as brand exalted ruler the Brooklyn man would add any prestige to the Order. But it is alleged that those composing the inner circle which dominates the organization gave their O. K. to his candidate and his election followed. And now appoinments of the present administration point to several conditions which they say proves their first contention and they say also that a little preliminary investigation would have disallowed these conditions before the Order did act in favor. Back of constructive

The homes in this street and in 18th street were designed by the lake Stanford White about the same time he designed the building for the College of the city of New York, situated on the west above Edacome avenue. In down and construction, they are among the most private houses in the city. 110 houses in these two streets were used by the Equitable Life Insurance Company in 1918, and more than a hundred of them had been vacated by the white tenants, who moved elsewhere when Negroes invaded the neighborhood.
At first the insurance company refused to sell or rent to colored people, but after losing money by allowing the houses to remain empty for several months, they finally decided to give colored tenants but not to give people immediately access to them.
ability, necessary to successful leadership, is charged against Wibecan, and it is asserted that this failing has led to friction between the exalted ruler and other officers, especially the grand secretary.
In the summing up of Mr. Wibecan's career, old citizens of Brooklyn point out that he was appointed to a clerkship in the Brooklyn postoffice when he finished the public schools at about twenty years of age. This appointment, it is said, was given him largely because of the personal friendship of the then Postmaster Hendricks, who had taken a liking to the young Negro school boy. In this connection it is alleged that Mr. Wibecan has allowed it to be believed that he was a graduate from Heidelburg, the famous German university. He speaks German fluently, and has been given many special engagements in political campaigns to enunciate Republican doctrines and principles to German audiences. This linguistic ability, of course, lent some color to the Heidelburg, the famous German understand, how this could be true, as if the young man went into the postoffice after finishing the public school in Heidelburg. It is declared by those who claim knowledge of the facts that the company in the German university covers eight years.

and after a few months the owners began to realize that the colored soldiers were better than the former white occupants of the houses, and should be given the opportunity to own their own houses. The houses were offered for sale, and in less than a year, the entire number had been sold mostly to colored buyers. The first race family to move into 100th street was Dr. and Mrs. Charles H. Roberts. They now saw the need for the new occupants to buy that street in as good condition as it was before they moved there.

Additional Developments in the Matter of Police Brutality Indicate Need of Change
Examination of Herbert Dent's Body by Private Physicians Show That Police Department Surgeons Who Conducted Autopsy Removed All Vital F Body--Symposium of Opinions as Expressed to the New York Age by Many of the City's Most Influential Citizens
Additional developments in the matter of the brutal beating to which Herbert Dent was subjected on June 27 in the 135th street station home by four police officers, Detectives Redding, McGrath, Gorman and Shields, which resulted in Dent's death, bring to light some attending circumstances which show the necessity for a radical change in the methods used by New York City policemen in handling men and women who are being held in custody at the police stations.
I. E. Dent, on the day following his brother's death, wrote edge of his brother's arrest was when police officers came to his home at 63 West 140th street and told him that Herbert was dead. On applying at the Harlem Hospital for information concerning the body he was not permitted access to it, the reason for barring him being that Herbert had met his death while a prisoner in hands of the police, and that the police autopsy had to be held before the body could be delivered to the family.
As told in last week's AGE, when Herbert's body was finally turned over to the family, two physicians were called in to make an examination. One of those physicians, Dr. M. W. Wolff of 205 West 136th street, furnished a written report, which read as follows:
"July 14, 1922—This is to certify that I examined the body of Herbert Dent at 56 West 136th street and found a wound right forehead; wound at lower jaw near apex; wound left side head; wound left eyelid and left cheek; and wound back of head—Dr. M. W. WOLFF."
The other physician, Dr. St. Clair A. Jones, of 158 West 62nd street, reported that Herbert Dent's vital organs had all been removed by the police surgeons during the autopsy which they conducted and none of them had been replaced. These included the brain and stomach, and the kidneys had been sliced and cut to pieces. There was cerebral depression, caused, it is presumed, by blows from blackjacks, but Dr. Jones declared there was no evidence of alcoholism.
New Workers Receive Three Important Federal Offices
United States senator William M. Calder of Brooklyn advises the editor of Tikr New York Ace Cai that several worthwhile appointments of colored men to Federal positions have been announced. Forger State Assemblyman John Clifford Hawkins of 115 West 135th street, engaged in the practice of law since his voluntary retirement from the New York Assembly, has been appointed as Assistant Consul to the United States Shipping Board, and will locate in New York. Franklin Morton, son of Dr. Verina Morton Jones of 716 Stuyvesant avenue, Brooklyn, has been appointed as Junior Assistant Council to the United States Shipping Board, with headquarters at Washington, D. C. Young Morton is a member of the Kings County Republican Committee and has been an active participant in the party's councils.

Jersey Negro Republicans Start Something New Under the Sun
Reported as Trying to Supplant Assemblyman Alexander Because His Complexion is Light—Want a Real Dark-Skinned Representative
(Special to The New York Age). Hackensack, N. J.-According to a story published under a two-column head by the Bergen Evening Record, this city, Negro Republicans of Essex county are in a fair way to make themselves extremely ridiculous. They want to supplant Dr. Walter G. Alexander of Orange, the first and only Negro member of the New Jersey State Assembly, and put in some man who is also a Negro but whose skin is of a darker hue than that of Dr. Alexander.
As the first member of the race to occupy a seat in the legislative halls of the state, Dr. Alexander has made a splendid record. But because his skin is of a color that does not particularly distinguish him from his confessors in the Assembly, it appears that some of the Essex county Negro Republicans are intending to make an effort to draw the color line.
race question, and that he has never attempted in any way, shape or form, to use his complexion as a means of "passing," will not be considered if the movement really gets under way. And it will not be of avail that the present member's personal ability, influence and personality had much to do with his success at the polls.
So the advocates of the idea of having a dark-skinned man as a member of the legislature are making a lot of noise about their purpose. It does not necessarily follow that they will succeed, and it is possible that some of the race voters may be temporarily misled with drawing their support from Dr. Alexander, but it is hardly probable that the "color line" proposition will win many serious-minded shillers.
Even the men who talk the hardest about a dark-skinned representative admit Dr. Alexander's brilliant worth and
The account states that they do not want a pale-faced Negro as representative in the legislature, and they believe that they will do the right thing by letting the doctor stay at home and educating a man of chany-completion—one who will be easily distinguished as a race man by the most chany character. It is asserted that some action is induced by the fact that some of the great wives at Tromson and not in the gallery of Sir House. They intend to pick out the colored man, but cannot do so.
Key, it appears, they were to guard around the house against the Negroes.
Harold Waddell, 154 Gates avenue, Brooklyn, a graduate of the Commercial High School and an ex-service man, has been appointed a deputy collector of Internal Revenue in Brooklyn.
The appointment of Walter R. Lofton of Brooklyn to a position in the Internal Revenue Service is expected to be announced in a few days.
Senator Calder announces also that the United States Senate has passed a bill creating an additional internal revenue district for New York. The bill goes now to the House for action and in event of its passage on the lower body, it will probably mean the appointment of Charles W. Anderson of 156 West 132nd street, as Collector. Mr. Anderson wag formerly Collector for the southern New York district, under former Presidents Roosevelt and Taft, and is at present an official in the State Agricultural Department.

And it will not be of avail that the present member's personal ability, influence and personality had much to do with his success at the polls.
Set the advocates of the idea of having a dark-skinned man as a member of the legislature are making a lot of noise about their purpose. It does not necessarily follow that they will succeed, and it is possible that some of the race voters may be temporarily missed into withdrawing their support from Dr. Alexander, but it is hardly probable that the "color-line" proposition will win many serious-minded thinkers.
Even the men who talking the funder about a dark-skinned representative admit Dr. Alexander's brilliant worth and value to the race.
MENAFEE-GETS DEGREE FROM STATE COLLEGE
(Special to The New York Age).
Ontarioburg, S. C.-Martin A. Mummee, treasurer of Verehuis' Industrial School, Dewendt, S. C., who has been compelled with that inspiration for 22 years, has been awarded the degree of doctor of arts by the Erasmus Agricultural and Industrial College, Owenburg.
This degree was awarded by the university in proportion with the preparation of the university immediately during the examination.
Extracts from previously published reports of the beating to death of Herbest Dent, 18-year-old Negro, while under arrest in the 135th street station, 38th Precinct, by three or four detectives:
Dent was under arrest in the station house on a warrant for assault and robbery, and the allegation is that he seized Redding's pistol from its holster and attempted to shoot the officer.
The two men were alone in the finger print room at the time, and the statement given out for publication is to the effect that Redding grappled with Dent, calling for help, and that McGrath and German rushed to his assistance. Blackjacks were used on Dent to such an extent that he died a few hours later. Assistant District Attorney John R. Hennis, who conducted an investigation into the happening, declared that the officers were justified in their action and exonerated them of all blame.
Residents in the immediate neighborhood of the station house declare that it is a common happening for them to be aroused and disturbed by sounds of severe beating administered to prisoners at this station house. And it is alleged that these beatings are administered not only to male prisoners, but that women are handled in the same manner.
In connection with the beating administered to Dent, a woman resident in the immediate neighborhood makes a statement to the effect that about 3 o'clock on Tuesday morning she was awakened from sleep by sounds of blows and by moans and groans of the victim, evidently coming from the police station. This witness declares that the sounds were so distressing and poignant that she called up police headquarters on the phone and reported that a man was being killed by the police. She was told that it would be stopped.
The sounds, however, did not cease, and she called up after an interval and renewed her complaint. This time she says she was informed that the man was getting what he deserved. "Do you know what he has done?" she says she was asked. Then she was told that the prisoner had killed a poligram.
It is asserted that the examination conducted by these doctors disclosed that one of the principal veins leading to the brain had been broken, showing the barestrained ferocity with which the police officers had vested their wrath upon an unarmed prisoner. It has been clearly established that at no time during the occurrence was Dent in possession of a weapon; all of his resistance being confined to what he was capable of exerting in a physical way. And the report that he was a desperado, member of a gang, and other allegations tending to show the dead man as a dangerous and bad character, is declared by the surviving relatives to be a slander and absolutely untrue.
I. E. Dent, on the day following his brother's death, wrote a letter to Police Commissioner Enright, asking for an investigation of the circumstances attending upon Herbert's arrest and subsequent death. Under date of July 1, a letter was received from the secretary to the Police Commissioner, reading as follows:

"Dear sir I have been directed by the Acting Police Commissioner to acknowledge receipt of your letter of June 28th and to advise you that the matter is under investigation and proper police action will be taken. Very truly yours, C. G. YOUNG, Secretary to the Police Commissioner."
As to what constitutes proper police action in this matter, Mr. Dent has not been further advised nor has he any information that tends to show just what steps have been taken by the Acting Police Commissioner to clear up the matter.
Many of New York's leading citizens have been interviewed by THE AGE and with hardly an exception they have unqualifiedly expressed the opinion that police brutality should come to an end. Attention is called to the fact that during the administration of the late Mayor Gaynor orders were issued taking away from the police their blackjacks and clubs and putting a severe penalty upon their use. And it is also stated that police conditions in New York were never better than under the Gaynor regime.
The assertion is made by well-advised persons, including officials of the police department, that there is no necessity for use of the infamous "Third Degree" used by police officers for the purpose of extorting confessions or extracting information prisoners are supposed to possess. When a prisoner is obstreperous or unruly it is always possible for the two or three officers, or more, who are always on duty in the police stations to subdue and control through the use of handcuffs or straight jackets, or even by tying.
EXPRESSIONS OF OPINION
MECHANIC'S BANK IN HANDS OF RECYBER
(Special to The New York Age).
Richmond, Va.—Colorful citizens and many of the whites here were greatly disturbed o a Saturday, July 15, when news spread rapidly through the city that the Mechanics Bank, John Mitchell Jr., president, one of the oldest Negro banks in the country, and always responded to be one of the strongest and most wisely managed, and closed its doors and gone into hands of a recrery.
Doubt was expressed in many circles, but the ill-series was soon confirmed, the doors being closed at 2 o'clock, p.m., and an announcement posted to that effect.
President Mitchell, who is also editor of the Richmond Planet and grand chairman of the Knights of Pythia in Virginia, desiined that the bank was directly involved in the acquisition of sufficient assets to pay every billion of deposits in full to its clients. The desired predicament also that the banks would be closed for only a few days and would be opened quite quickly.

Strong and emphatic expressions of opinion have been given to Trey Ace by many of the city's leading ministers and other citizens. A notable exception has been in the case of business men. Most of them have unqualifiedly denounced the cruel and brutal methods of the police, but at the same time they have such wholesome fear of these same police methods that they are unwilling to make such statements for publication in connection with their names.
To epitomize the attitude of the business men of Harlem who are dependent upon preserving friendly and amicable relations with the police force, they claim to know nothing about police brutality except what has been told in the papers, but if the alleged conditions are true an investigation should be made. They all declare that the police are good to them and personally they have no criticism to make of the police.
Submitted to this article are a number of expressions from men in public life who are not aware to giving impression to their opinion on the amount of police brutality. They are as follows:

formed that they are the paid servants

If thie ‘practice is teue citizens should
lake the matter up with the mayor

to change this cruel practice.
As to he case of the young man
Dent being murdered by detectives of
the 38th precinct: If this is true we
should resort not only to the mayor
and commissioner, but the fect should
be taken before the district tattorney
of the county, and the murderers
brough: to trial. For policemen and
detectives’ chief duty is to protect the
life of all citizens. But resitence to
police authority and gan attempt upon
their life may call forth from them
forceful measures which might lead to

Jowing statement: g
The account of the alleged treatment
of the prisoner Dent is before me, and
Tam further informed that the case is
not an isolated one. It is impossible
to over-state the stcong resentment that
any person of thevTeast humanitarian
Yentiment muse feel upon examination
of the photographs in the “Age.” It is
an outrage. Such methods: are worse
than the prison conditions of 1wo of
three centuries ago, and savour of the
barbarities of “the unspeakable Turk.”
There is altogether too much taking
for granted that Negroes are ‘ltoughs”
and must be bullied, and brow-beaten
and terrorized into telling the truth,
and it 1s a damnable lie that every red-
blooded Negro resents. Besides, only
the rankest ignorance of mental consti-
tution could allow it co be supposed
that the truth can be extracted and
justice done in that way.
The Negro, like every other law-
abiding citizen, honors and respects
the members of the Police ‘Department
for the protective service they render.
We have sometimes idolized them as
heroes, and have always been pro-
foundly grateful to them. But if yhere
is a single one who does not. merit
this conhdence, he ought to find no
place in the Department. The strong
arm of the law must never ‘be allowed
to degenerate into a highwayman's
club. We cannot but believe that the
Commissioner wilt take the necesary
steps to remedy the alleged conditions.

I want to endorse most heartily the
campaign you are waging against the
brutality of police officers toward col-
‘cored citizens in Harlem’ Since Harfem
is the largest, colored ‘community in the
United States, what ever effects it has
more than local signifieance. If even
hal! that which is réported is true en-
lightened self-interest’ would require a
thorough official investigation that the
facts may be, sucerained “and the re.
sponsibility placed. “For already the
peace of the community has been broken
apd ‘the security? of the -<ity menecte.
Such a mood has been engendered that
ome may expect a social explosion that
will involve the whole city at almost any
time. My civic experience in another
city teaches me Giat such matters should
not be lee alone; now is the time for the
authorities to act, and to do 40 at once.

PLAINFIELD, N. I.
Plainfield. N. J.—There should be some capitalist among our people in Plainfield who could build or interest others in building a theatre or music hall so that our people would have a place of their own for amusement and not be compelled to submit to insults heaped upon them at the Plainfield Theatre by its owners and managers. Uncalled for expressions made recently by the owners and manager of this theatre impels the writer to write this article. Our money is too good to force any individual, or firm to take it. Negroes in America have done their bit at every beck and call and are not to be treated in this manner. Voters in Plainfield should look well and weigh the candidates in the next election and see which side of the scales will balance in your favor.

A COLLEGE that has its students devote one hour their time to actual useful work is no in line with common sense that we are amazed that the idea had to be put in execution, by an ex-slave as a life saver, for his distressed race. Our greatest discoveries are always accidents; we work for one thing and get another. I expect that the day will come and are long, when the great universities of the world will have to put the University idea into execution in order to save themselves from being distracted by the Colored Race.

POURING DOLLARS IN A HOLE
A more or less apochyphal tale was recently reviewed in one of the New York daily papers, as do the Father of His Country throwing a silver dollar across the Potomac River. The usual addenda to the story is that a dollar went further in the days when Washington was President. But the followers of Marcus Garvey have elicited this record in the distance and quantity of dollars they have chucked across the waters traversed by the steamers of the Black Star line. According to the testimony brought out in the numerous court actions against the Garvey, enterprises, about six hundred thousand dollars, representing thousands of contributions, have been literally poured into a bottomless hole, so far as any return is concerned.
In one of these suits, the counsel for the claimants tried to find out what became of the $000,000 which Garvey admitted had been lost in the Black Star Line. According to newspaper reports, Garvey explained that the Yarmouth, the first steamship acquired and referred to in the prospectus as the Frederick Douglass, cost $145,000, and that it lost $300,000 on its first trip. The Macon, now tied up in Cuba, cost $05,000, he said, and lost $110,000 on its first trip. The old river boat Shadyside, which had been tied up at 157th street and the North River, was not mentioned in the testimony, although it was said to have cost the stockholders $10,000.
This exhibit of wanton waste and inexhaustible loss of the thousands contributed in five dollar shares by those who subscribed for the stock might be expected to create a doubt of the wisdom of the plans devised by the promoters of the Black Star Line. But Garvey probably relies on the unfailing gullibility of his dupes to carry him through the annual meeting called next month, when his deluded followers will be called upon to put up many more dollars for new experiments in high finance. That this expectation is not without ample grounds is shown by the fanatical real exhibited by individual members of the organization in presenting any criticism of Garvey or his financial methods. This was shown in several letters received by TIE Act, after the publication of figures setting forth the extravagance and waste of funds shown under Garvey's mismanagement.
One individual signing himself "An American Garveyite," wrote from Tennon, N. J., in penmanship of "A West Indian type, as follows:
Garvey is a master mind in spite of financial difficulties. If they jail him the U. N. I. A. will go on just the same. What God favors, men cannot destroy. We must organize and demand what we want. Watchful waiting will not do. I used to read your paper, but after I found out you were against Garvey, I was sorry to have to stop.
Another letter signed "Floor Member," but traced in the same style of penmanship, expressed equally blind devotion to Garvey in the following strain:
We are all with Garvey through thick and thin. Should the bill be presented a tax of 25 cents per member will give Garvey $1,000,000, so you can plainly see what organization means, if nothing else. I do wish that more American boys die but in the West and South they are 100 per cent American. When God favors what of man. They suspected Christ. Washington, Lincoln, but God favors. These extracts show the quality of the fanatical sentiment that has been proved by Garvey's appeal to the emancipation of race pride and solidarity. So far it has not counted the cost of its direction as expressed in dollar and exe. Whether it will stand the strain of the thousands of dollars poured into his role represented by the Black Stake remains to be seen.
Continued confidence in unsound financial schemes is not confined to the Negro race by any means. The exposure of the losses in bucket shops, faked cigarettes and Ponzi's exchange scheme in Boston shows that the number of people being liable to risk their alms, in "get-together" investments, unfolding, the accrual of such illegal methods of entertaining the unwary from his own occupation for in the jargon of the act, by the saying: "Once a sucker, always a sucker." This may be equally true in the instances of Carvey.
INVESTIGATION DEMANDED.
Later developments in the case of the prisoner who was beaten to death in a Harlem police station, as published in Tank Axx of last week, raise the presumption that murder was committed by those responsible for the killing. The police and detective force of a great city like New York cannot afford to rest under such a suspicion and retain the confidence of the public. Swift and cure action should be taken by competent authority so bring out the facts of the case and establish the degree of guilt and punish the parties responsible.
The hasty decision arrived at by the representative of the District Attorney's office, who investigated the matter, needs to be revised. The ground on which he pronounced the killing justifiable and the testimony should be thoroughly investigated. If the District Attorney's office is so fully committed to the decision already announced, as to preclude the securing of an unbiased and thorough investigation, the Governor should be appealed to. The State Attorney General should be authorized to intervene and probe the whole matter of police brutality to the bottom, in the most thorough and fearless manner.
The situation is a serious one for the whole population of New York City. If the police can beat to death any person under arrest, who incurs their resentment, without the most searching investigation by the criminal prosecutor of the county, then the life and liberty of every citizen are in jeopardy. The powers entrusted to the police for the protection of the public should be turned into a means of oppression and brutality.
If District Attorney Benton desires to maintain the high standard he has set for his office, as an instrument for enforcing law and order, he should reopen this case of killing by the police and get all the facts surrounding it. If murder was committed by those concerned, they should be prosecuted as murderers. If the District Attorney fails in his duty, the Governor has power to act and knows how to exercise it.
Murder will out.
STATE RIGHTS SURRENDERED.
While the obstinate adherents of the doctrine of State rights in Congress have invoked that time honored theory as an obstacle to the passage of anti-lynching legislation, acute observers in the South have presented another side to the issue. The question has been raised as to how far State rights can extend or survive, if they are not actively exercised for the good of the State. The subject has figured largely in the Senatorial campaign in Louisiana and one speaker delivered himself from this viewpoint:
I remind you that state sovereignty is positive as well as negative. It is an attribute to be used actively as a state responsibility, and if it is not used to suppress evil or to promote the general welfare, it will pass to the nation. Many states neglected to embody the principles of the nation, sold the sale of adulterated foods and drugs, and the nation assumed the jurisdiction. Other states permitted child labor to be cruelly exploited for gain, and the nation violated the constitution in protest. Other states permitted the liquor traffic to corrupt their politics, and the nation took over the police force. Other states will illustrate the point that states will continue to lose it only in resistance of federal power.
The editor of one of the leading dailies of North Carolina, in discussing the Dyer bill, took a somewhat similar view of the matter, when he said: "Whether or not the federal government should invade the police powers of the several states, becomes an academic question if there are no such powers to invade; and if the states have lost or abandoned their powers, how can they be considered in existence any longer."
The North Carolina editor carried the question outside of sectional prejudices by exiting the case at the state of Illinois. He asked:
Does it deserve to have liberty to permit such massacres as have occurred recently in the coal fields in the southern part of that state? The state of Illinois has proved itself unable or unwilling to preserve the safety of life and property, or to punish atrocious murder. Regardless of constitutional law, is there not a moral obligation resting upon the United States to protect to a greater and greater extent citizens of the United States, just as much as there was a moral obligation to go to Mexico in 1913 for the same purpose? Why shouldn't Pershing go after the Herrin miners just as the went after Villa's hands? We are not referring to the legalistic, but to the moral, aspect of the matter. Morally, the advantage is in with the hands. There was at least a patriotism in their action; and they didn't kill nearly as many people, nor torture any. It isn't the constitutionality of the Dyer bill that presents the serious question. It is the need of such legislation that is the shocking and humiliating thing.
When thinking leaders of the white race in the Soul are willing to concede that the theory of State rights involves duties and responsibilities to be assumed and fulfilled on the part of the State and by its authorities, there is hope for a return to sanity on the part of the people and the government. The fact that State rights have long been surrendered so far as mob violence and looting are concerned, is ground for the belief that this doctrine cannot be held as an effective objection to the constitutionality of the Dyer bill. A right must be exercised to keep it alive. It will die from inaction or disease.
SOME INCONSISTENCIES.
Two of the most powerful opponents of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill are Senator William E. Borah and the New York "World." Both Senator Borah and the "World" proclaim that they are against lynching and that they would be willing to do anything within their power to help abolish it; but they declare themselves against any step to abolish lynching which contemplates the exercise of Federal authority. Both Senator Borah and the "World" profess such an exalted an opinion of the theory of "states rights" that they appear willing to see a continuance of the overthrow of the law by mobs, trial and execution of citizens without due process of law, and the exhibition of atrocities which could not be equalled in the jungle rather than see their sacred theory touched in the slightest degree. They are willing to face the certain menace of mob law and its spread rather than even contemplate the smallest limitation upon the so-called rights of the states.
In taking this opposition the Honorable Senator and the influential newspaper lose sight of the fact that ever since the formation of the Union and the adoption of the Constitution these states have been constantly undergoing limitation of their rights as sovereign powers. This process is not only natural but necessary.
When the thirteen colonies were founded there were jealousy and suspicion among them all. They originally thought of themselves as separate and sovereign governments. That thought was largely due to the fact that they were physically separate. But the growth of the nation depended upon the weakening of that idea, and the physical bringing together of these states—so that today California is closer to New York than South Carolina was at the time of the adoption of the Constitution—has made state boundaries almost imaginary lines.
But what Senator Borah and the "World" seem most blind to is the fact that they are battling to preserve for the states a right which the states themselves during the past forty years have demonstrated themselves absolutely powerless to exercise. None of the states in which mob violence has been rampant has yet shown itself able to cope with the situation. The states are more or less able to cope with so-called individual crimes but they have shown themselves incapable of coping with the mob. It is, therefore, as absurd to talk about preserving to the states the right to deal with mobs as it would be to talk about the right of a fourteen-year-old king to rule and direct his country in time of war.
But after all it seems that these fine lines of constitutionality on states rights which Senator Borah and the "World" hold apply specifically to Federal laws against lynching. Senator Borah, who in the Senate Committee on the Judiciary fought against reporting the Anti-Lynching Bill favorably because he could not square his conscience with such an unconstitutional invasion of the rights of the states, is, nevertheless, quoted in the New York "World" as making a statement in favor of Federal control of the coal mining industry, and I am quite sure the "World" would not misquote Senator Borah.
Senator Borah has seen the war between the miners of West Virginia and the state forces and he has come to feel that the matter of supplying coal to the nation is so important that the Federal Government should step in and control a situation which the states seem unable to handle. The "World" quotes the Senator as saying: "I think the suggestion of the President with reference to resuming work pending a permanent settlement is extremely desirable. I do not believe anything short of drastic control by the government will bring anything like permanent relief."
We feel sure that upon second thought Senator Borah cannot believe that it is more important to make certain the securing of coal for the people of the country, even though Federal interference, than it is to secure for citizens the right to trial by the process of law when they are accused of crime through the same means.
Senator Borah's inconsistency is more than equated by that on the part of the "World." The "World" has expressed itself editorially a half dozen times against the Anti-Lynching Bill on the ground that the Federal Government had no right to interfere with the states even to curb mob violence. Butin viewing the consequences of recent mob action at Herrin, Ill., the "World" does not seem to be such a stickler for states rights.
In committing upon the President's statement, "Governments cannot tolerate any class or group domination through force," the "World," in a lengthy editorial, had the following to say:
That is true. Yet Government has tolerated it. The Herrin murder has been done in Congress. It has been condemned from the White House. But no connective action is proposed to clean the stain which it would leave upon the Republic if nothing were done to vindicate law and visit justice upon the murderers.
There is precedent in the Mana riots in New Orleans and similar cases since for the statement that the Federal Department of Justice cannot override the power of a State in its administration of justice. But foreign nations whose citizens may have suffered in Herrin would have according to well-reorganized rulings of our State Department a valid claim for satisfaction from Washington for the relatives of the injured and the dead. Such satisfaction would include both an expression of the Nation's regret and material compensation; but it would leave justice in an appalling crime lager after apologies.
The only thing that cannot be tolerated is the comfortable theory that a mob murder of appalling cruelty, a defiant challenge to the Nation, is a thing to blow over and be forgotten.
So it seems clear that Senator Borah and the "World" think it would be a dangerous precedent to allow the Federal Government to put down lynching mobs of which Negroes are chiefly the victims, but they appear to have no such apprehensions regarding the use of Federal power to prevent riots growing out of labor troubles in which white men are chiefly the victims.
MARCUS GARVEY AND THE K. K. K.
If Mr. Marcus Garvey, President of the U. N. L. A., is correctly quoted in a statement of his published in the New York "World" several days ago, he reveals an ingenuousness which is almost inconceivable.
Mr. Garvey, according to the "World," in the face of historical facts regarding the Ku Klux Klan, absolved that nefarious organization from all intentions against the Negro. Mr. Garvey does this on the strength of an interview which he had with Acting Imperial Wizard Clarke in Atlanta. Mr. Garvey was quoted as follows:
"I had an interview with Acting Imperial Wizard Clarke in Atlanta, June 25," said Garvey, "to learn the truth of the Klan's attitude toward the race I represent. He told me the Klan is determined to make America a white man's country, and the Klan is a mighty powerful organization that represents the opinions and the prejudices of every true white man in the United States.
"I tell you that the Negro Universal Improvement Association is as the Ku Klux Klan? Garvey went on judicially. "It should be not folks. We want Africa for Africans.
"What should be the Negro's attitude toward such an organization as the Ku Klux Klan? Garvey went on typically. "It should be not, to fight it, not to aggravate it, but to think of what it means and say and do nothing. It will not help us to fight it or its programme. The Negro's numerical disadvantage in this country is too great."
"What are you going to do about it?" the wish of 15,000,000 Negroes means nothing when 90,000,000 white men don't wish it.
"How shall we solve our problem?" the speaker went on. "The only way it can be solved is for the Negro to create a Government of his own in Africa."
The ingenuousness of Mr. Garvey is shown in the statement that the fight of 15,000,000 Negroes in the United States against the Ku Klux Klan is a hopeless one, one doomed to failure on account of the great odds which the American Negro has against him; yet he is willing to go up against the thousandfold greater odds that his own organization will be bound to have in opposing the powers of Great Britain, France, Belgium, Italy, Spain and Portugal for the liberation and possession of Africa.
The task before the American Negro of defeating the machinations of the Ku Klux Klan is as mere child's plaly compared with the job that Mr. Garvey has cut out for himself and his followers in the U.K. L A:
MISCHA ELIMAN ON JAZZ
Everything which relates to versy in the United States. On as to whether or not he had a book of controversy as to whether he cation; and then as to whether barism if he were given his frere. Recently his contribution to come a question of great control plays on Broadway during the prove the bad effects of Negro morals of the nation.
In the preface to his book Poetry," this writer made a few music. He was at once jumped musical critics of the country. This form of music not only a laterious.
Now comes Mischa Ellman from Europe who, in an inter-following to say:
"Jazz has simply taken Europe. To me it has vast musical possibilities will grow new ideas. It will be music.
"I think we should have a nat-ington, so that composers of jazz study and develop their art within.
It is a strange thing that the is the only one who can see no studying, nothing worth while do-
Everything which relates to the Negro is a matter of controversy in the United States. Once it was a matter of controversy as to whether or not he had a human soul, then it became a matter of controversy as to whether he had brain enough to master education; and then as to whether or not he woul relapse into barbarism if he were given his freedom, etc., etc.
Recently his contribution to American popular music has become a question of great controversy. One of the most successful plays on Broadway during the last season was one written to prove the bad effects of Negro popular music on the mind and morals of the nation.
In the preface to his book, "The Book of American Negro Poetry," this writer made a few modest claims for Negro popular music. He was at once jumped on by one of the most eminent musical critics of the country, Mr. H. E. Krehbiel, who denounced this form of music not only as worthless but as positively deleterious.
Now comes Mischa Ellman, the great violinist, just returned from Europe who, in an interview given to reporters, had the following to say:
"Jazz has simply taken Europe by storm. One hears it everywhere. To me it has vast musical possibilities. Out of its wonderful rhythms will grow-new ideas. It will become known as the American classical music.
"I think we should have a national conservatory of music at Washington, so that composers of jazz and other music should be free to study and develop their art without financial disability."
It is a strange thing that the American musician and composer is the only one who can see nothing good, nothing worth while studying, nothing worth while developing, in Negro popular music.
WHY THIS RESENTMENT?
WHY THIS RESENTMENT?
A Washington dispatch last week represented that Senator Calder of New York stirred up a hatror's nest in the upper house of Congress by causing to be printed in the Congressional Record a newspaper account of a recent lynching in Wayne County, Ga. The victims were two Negroes already under sentence of death, who had been granted a respite by Governor Hardwick. The most active figures in resenting this action by Senator Calder were Senators Harris of Georgia, Dal of South Carolina and Shields of Tennessee, who were reported as using most vigorous language. Senator Harris was represented as turning to Senator Calder and saying,
"There is more lawlessness in the city of New York, where the Senator lives, in one week where Harris is the whole State of Georgia inayear. It is dangerous to walk in daylight in the Senator's city. It is not dangerous to do that in Georgia."
Why these Southern Senators should display this fiery resentment against the facts of a lynching, which none of them could deny, being published in the record of their proceedings, is hard to understand. They all join in extinguishing and justifying mob violence and burning and torture of human beings as a popular pastime. They oppose any and all legislative efforts to suppress such savagery. They acquiesce in the setting, aside of the legal processes of the law, even when that law is invoked by the Governor of Georgia. And yet they resent the publication of the consequences of their action in the Congressional Record. It cannot be that they fear to face the logical consequences of their action in print, or that their conscience makes them cowards in contemplating the results of their teachings. If lynchings and mob violence are just and proper from the Southern Senators' point of view, why should they resent this publication in the Congressional Record?
Senator Gaffer merely held the mirror up to his Southern colleagues and the images they saw were not pleasing.
MENTALITY OF THE KU KLUX
The editor of the Greenboro Daily News, one of the ablest and most outspoken newspapers of North Carolina, has been giving some study to the composition of the present membership of the Ku Klux Klan, whom it styles "kluckers." The conclusion reached by this keen observer of men and affairs, as it related to the intending paraders at Raleigh, a few weeks ago, was not flattering to the degree of intelligence found among them. The organization was given credit for a first rate crook here and there, but the vast majority of the membership was pronounced to be "men of second rate mentality-silly, but not in the least vicious."
The crooks at the head of the organization are credited with the shrewdness that enables them to take in the shekels from the poor dupes, who pay extravagant prices for their ghostly paraphernalia and the privilege of parading at midnight and swearing mouth filling oaths of allegiance before strange altars bearing a fiery cross. If the ridiculous performances of the revived order of midnight marauders stopped at this point, we might agree with the verdict that its members were simply silly but not vicious. But the history of this organization has shown that silly cliques under the leadership of crooks, are capable of all degrees of viciousness.
The low degree of intelligence that characterizes the mob element is peculiarly susceptible to evil suggestion. The tendency toward cruel treatment of helpless animals and human beings is born of ignorance and brutality. When a stupid, following is controlled by crooked leadership the most tragic results may be expected. While the News granted the weak-minded "kluckers" the charity of the belief that they are supporters of the government and the flag, it also asserted that their organization "gives a first rate cover under which any band of criminals can operate." And the criminals have taken advantage of this fact.
The Negro bootleger who sold water colored with iodine to purchasers who ignored the existence of the Eighteenth Amendment, it was stated, could not be proclaimed for violation of the Volunteer act, as his male did not contain narcotic alcohol. The Pure Food law was therefore invoked to ensure his sanitation.

One of the most successful the last season was one written to Negro popular music on the mind and book, "The Book of American Negro new modest claims for Negro popular popped on by one of the most eminent Mr. H.

ment. This would seem to raise the question. Is whiskey a food.
A news dispatch stated that two thousand colored people of Tulsa petitioned Governor Robertson to call a special election to permit them to vote upon withdrawing their section from the city of Tulsa and incorporating under the name of Norris. City. This is the sequel to the riot of over a year ago in which the Negro section was destroyed my a mob and many of its inhabitants, without proper protection being given them by the city authorities. Efforts have been made to hamper their progress in rebuilding. Their presidence in maintaining their ground should be recovered.
Two items on the local page of the Houston Texas Freeman possess more than local interest. The first was a news item stating that Mrs. Dr. So-ando and her son had left for Victoria and other points. It concluded: "They went overland in the family's big Cadillac and will be gone a week or ten days." The other was an announcement of a special train on the Golf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railroad for the Ancient Order of Pilgrims, with this provision: "All arrangements have been perfected for chair cars for the round trip to Cleburne, Texas." It looks as if the Negroes of Texas were tired of "riding jim crow."
Those upholders of the staid and conventional customs of the past, who have been predicting the passing of jazz in polite society, seem to have gone astray in their calentations, according to a writer in the New York World, who said:
Dancing, masters, music teachers, church dignitaries the world over continue to weave against jazz, whether it be music or dancing, but the sympathetic measure is doing quite well, thank you. When recently, Princess Mary gave her first entertainment as a music teacher, she sang with mother, the King and Queen of England, jazz received its first formal recognition—made its bow into royal society, so to speak.
Out of the nineteen dance selections made by Princess Mary, she picked nineteen jazz compositions. Among the musicians represented were Stiele and Blake with their popular "Shuffle Along" number, "I'm Just Wild About Harry." This put the seal of royal approval on the sympathetic strains.
DETHRONING JUDGE LYNCH
The House passed the Anti-Lynching Bill many months ago. A subcommittee of the Senate Judiciary Committee frowned on it, however, intimating that its constitutionality was not above suspicion. Lawyers differ on such points, and the House Judiciary Committee had already gone on record as of the opposite opinion. Now the full Senate Committee has given the House measure the benefit of the doubt, reported it out with a slight amendment. The Dyson bill deserves a trial. If there is any power in the Federal government to stop mob murders and to hold local authorities responsible for failures to prevent mob violence that power ought to be defined and exerted. Lynching is a harking hack to barbarism. It is a blot on the 'civilization' which tolerates it. It is also an offense against the andrew law of the Union, which says that "mob violence will proclaim any person of life, liberty or proclaim out due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
All citizens of the United States are entitled to equal privileges and immunities within the states. We also make treaties with foreign governments, in which we guarantee their national protection of our laws. Pemphishing such treaties through treaties, an essential national law. But when it comes to making good on the treaties, the nations either finds itself, without machinery either to protect or to punish. This is a pitiful situation for the Federal government to be in. A Federal power to restrain lynchings is therefore a necessary corollary of the treaty-making power. The Dyer Bill is misunderstood if it interpreted merely as an attempt at middle some interference with the administration of their laws by sovereign states. It is under pledge in this matter. It is under pledge in national government to protect both American citizens and treaty-power foreigners.
From this point of view the Dyer bill closes up a dangerous hiatus. It supplies a new link in the chain of national priority and will spare us from offering new laws. We must do the next time a friendly nation whose citizens have been lynched here asks us why we cannot live up to obligations assumed by us and plainly interest in them.

(From New York)
At the meeting of the Bear Institute of Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, held in New York on the day, there was reported a certain pansion of the work of that early a half-million dollars in prosecuted year, besides what is set aside for provements. It was wondered Booker Washington died when school could be carried on after the loss of the leader under genius it was developed, but within it a vital preacher. It imparted American institution
Booker Washington's success required keges, Major R. R. Motson, who the speakers at the dedication of the Lincoln Memorial and made worthy of that historic occasion paying Stomage to Lincoln on his own race, "twelve million Americans," as he called his prize said that upon them more than other group rested the imminent obligation to "justify the price their emancipation." "Has the been justified?" In his elephant-sween he received the contribution of a pay to his position as a freeman. Despite their impatience, and their "failure to fulfill reward of their services," the loyalty in time of war has never questioned, while in peace they have been, he asserted, the "nation's single asset in the development of resources."
But he whose act enamored the slaves would have greater satisfaction in hearing what the Negro had done for the elevation of his own race with freedom. In spite of limitations with and restrictions from within the slave community for sixteen years and in integrity and thrift, they have a fleet of 22,000,000 acres of land with free homes, and have come into the partnership and operation of business enterprises with a combined capital amount to more than $150,000,000. Immune schools and churches have been built and maintained and literacy among them has been reduced 20 per cent. Akeegan and Hampton 'Lengthen' shaded the streets of the city with Armstrong and Dr. Frisell) and other such institutions give promise of a wider redemption of the race.
In the great experiment in human relationships which has been started on these shores, those who differ most widely in "color and importance" as Major Moton said, are strengthened together. When some months ago representatives of thirty or more immigrant racial groups in our American life call upon President Harding, the Negro representative said, Mr. President are more proud than we are here in New York, and more proud than the Lincoln Memorial, with the Negro race will especially like to be shrine, should be a personal obligation to meet every possible thing is done to good effect to the proclamation of the treaty to Emancipator.
KU KLU AND ITS BACKGROUND
(From New York, New York)
"I am in favor of the Ku Klux Klan. This is a candidate for Senate in Texas to recognize the authority as strange in organization. He has thrown its shades against American politics. In many ways the Ku Klux Klan of 1922 results the Know Nothings of 1852. While the aims of the movement seem mixed, they are not include the central purpose of the Klan: Nothing else - opposition to aliens and especially to Roman Catholic."
The Know Nothings, like the Knights of Klan, began by choosing amateur dates nominated by the regulars but the political conspiracy came out the slaves issue gave them an unexpected opportunity. Many Whites them as a way of escape from perplexing question. Encouraged by success he expressed interest in they essayed the ambitions they ingered forth a national ticker. So however, was no response of ticker and what happened to the White was destined to happen to the Democrats wrecked the Know Nothings northern wing nominated Premier in a few weeks later became the most publician candidate for President southern wing nominated ex-Presidentillmore who carried Maryland willowman who carried Washington but in the South it lingered on Civil War, being virtually the well-wing of the old Whigs.
A more peculiar dismember of regularity was the Anti-Mason party. This party has a double claim of morality; it was the first of a long-lived third parties and one of the most distinctive of party organizations nating convention. Starting in New York in 1826 as a result of alleged murder of William Merritt, disclosing secrets of the Mason party, developed such veneration New England and the Middle that it called a national convention in 1831 in the election of next year Anti-Masonic party carnival. The partyicism disappeared in Pennsylvania, where it continued to terror in 1835 and was an unintended factor in politics for a few years.
The Kit Klux Klan has not yet returned to the rank of a third party. It differs from these other movements also in sporadic cropping up in this area or that, but nowhere covering an area. In this respect it supports the Parrisian League. It is like all other parties in resembling a chemical body of eccentric orbit, which subject barring into view, diverts the planets their courses, and probably will be like them in vanishing shortly into

_ “‘B@ether Zien C*nrck,
With the dawn of Sunday morning
July 16, came the brilliant light of ty
‘unclouded sun. The day was favorable
for those who desired to attend divine
worship. As a remit, the church wat
filed at the moming worship. The usual
preliminary exercises were conductes
wih becoming solemnity.
“In the absence of C. F. Legars, mu
cal director, the choir was under Cie
supervision: of Briscoe W. Payne. The
tmsic rendered was delightful and in-
spiring.
‘The 11 o'clock sermon was preached
by the pastor, Dr. J, W. Brown. Theme
“The Master hath come and calleth for
thee.” The ‘speaker made it unmistake-
ably clear as (0 whom the Master was,
by truthfully describing the nature of
His advent, the mission of the heavenly
choir sent to the land of Judea, and
whase weices timed to song. resdunded
throughout the Judean plaint—"Peace
on earth ond 'pbrd will toward men"
He made it dear that the Master
spoken of in the text demonstrated His
omnipotent power in the many miraclet
wrought bs Him and recorded in the
divine word. He urged that in our
hearts, Chrise be atknowledgat as our
Master and Ruler and that we let our
fiver conform to ie requirements laid
down for the observance of these who
would be His followers. The burning
need.of the spirit of Christ to govern
us in all of our deliberations was clearly
pointed out or emphasized by the speak-
er. In the coming of the Master this
great need has bee met. The call which
he sends owt is for men everywhere—to
acknowledge the Fatheitioad of God and
the bratherhood of man. Were this ack-
nowledgement made by men everywhere,
the result would be that the principles
of righteoutness and justice would ob-
tain among men and God in our lives
and service would be glorified.
The entire sermon was an earnest ap-
peal by the pastor to answer the Master's
call in the giving of ourselves to the
doing His will.
At the conclusion of the sermon. a
call was made to those out of tte chirch,
and five persons were received.

folker, Middleweight Champ, Defeats Gibbons in 2nd Fight
In First Meeting the Challenger was Knocked Out, but in this Second Bout the "Kid" gave the Champion a Hard Battle
Willin Walker, middleweight champion of the National Guard, was again awarded the winner over Alex, Kid Gibbons in their fifteen-round bout at the 14th Regiment Armory on Friday night, July 14, although Walker failed to knock his opponent out this time. Several weeks ago Gibbons was imposed by Walker, but this time Walker was tough time-winning, as Gibbons was trained to perfection for this bout, and was on the champion every minute of the fight. Gibbons not only made his opponent miss many of his punches, but also got in some powerful blows himself.

Robinson is at the Orpheum Theatre.
Walker, however, showed championship qualities by actually fighting better in the last few rounds than at any time during the bout, although his opponent had used every means to slow him up. The most interesting round of the fight was the last round in which both fighters cut loose and were trying to secure a knockout. Walker had the better of the opponent, but neither fighter was able to get in the knockout blow. In the other rounds Gibbons was very cautious, and worried his opponent by using his ingesting tactics to good advantage. When ever they stood off and boxed, Walker usually was the better, but in the clinches, Gibbons came out ahead. The bout was clean from stains, and the opponent held at this moment. The weights of the fighters, Walker, 150 pounds, Gibbons, 150.
The scheduled semifinal bout of ten
rounds between Terry Martin and Kid
Butler did not take place, because Martin
alleged that Butler was six pounds
overweight. Butler denied this, and
stated that he would place a forrest,
guaranteeing that he would make 120
pounds for this bout at a later date.
Dan Stewart and Kid Brown succeeded
in this high jump in Brown.
Steward outed in the third round.
Steward proved to be much too rugged
and too hard a hitter for his opponent.
His weight was 133 pounds, and Brown's
130 pounds.
In the only preliminary bout of the
evening, Kid Bates of the 19th and
Johnny Hodgson of the 12th fought a
fast four-round draw.
The bout were referred by Danny
Bailey and Billy Roche.
AT LAFAYETTE THEATRE
Billy King's new show, "Moonshine" has proved so popular at the Lafayette has decided to hold it for another week. Although the show is new in many places, it has been presented here two years ago by Jilly Jones, who is the same as those in the last show presented here two years ago by Jilly Jones, which, with a chorus that is always in action, make this an unusually bright and breezy musical comedy, but this creating use of subtle jokes, did not get over as the show did. The action of the sundae team of Headwright and added much to the dancing end of the show. The singing of Marzartine Smith, the Bromon and Anna Bette Cook, and the trombone and flute scores were high spots in performance.
Others in the east were Jack Wiggins, May Belle Brown, Isabella Larson, Ernest Smith, the Young, Jerry Richardson, O. William Williams, Jimm, Genneth Stetson, Junkie Straine, Straine Jinks Thomas Marie Warren Jim Bennett and Marion Moore. Monday night, the Shriners and their wives paid homage to Billy King, who is a member of that organization, by attending the show in the week of July 24.

Iove a famous stage production by the director of "The Rosary." It proved a great picture, but with the advance in motion and the wonderful old story the broad presentation it deserved. The screen author inspired thought of both play and song into this bigger and better film version, creating a founding figure of the new school of screen authors this year. To his credit, this successes a "The Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court," Mary, Pickford's film, three Charles Hay productions, Will Rogers best picture, "Doubling for Dollars," three William Shakespeare special, "The Count of Monte Cristo."

BOY'S CONFERENCE AT BORDENTOWN INST.
(Special Jo. The New York Age.)
Bordentown, N. J., Sunday afternoon, July 10, marked the close of the first annual Boy's Conference at the Bordentown Industrial School. From the opening address of welcome by Principal W. R. Valentine on Thursday afternoon, to the paring bedding delivered in the auditorium by Rev. H. C. Van Pelt, the conference was marked by interest and enthusiastic cooperation by every one of the sixty boys who assembed the delegates for the three days of the meeting. Delegates were present from every large city in New Jersey, except Camden. Twenty-one cities and towns were represented by more or less large delegations, and nearly every county of the state.
Newark, the largest city in New Jersey, was represented by the largest delegation; thirteen boys came from Saint Philip's Boys Club and the Newark founder for Colored Boys felt Wild. The boys, with their two representatives, while Fireford and Trenton totalled four offices.
T. C. Williams, assistant principal of Bordertown School, and H. Hopper of Newark, spoke on Thursday.
Friday morning was given over to supervise athletics and the athletics at the Military Academy in the conference. Directed games followed, and in the evening the boys gathered on the campus around bonfires for twilight singing. Dr. George E. Cannon of Jersey City delivered a talk on essentials of health, intended especially to appeal to those boys who expect to excel in athletics. Saturday was the day the track meet open to members of the conference and eight boys entered the various events.
St. Philips of Newark won the trophy with forty-one points, followed closely by Bordertown with thirty. Seabright placed third with a score of ten, and Salem fourth, with a score of eight. Prizes for the meet were donated by citizens of Trenton and Gibbs by citizens of Morrisville. The Sunlight Lodge of Elks of Trenton donated several handsome prizes.
The most important outcome of the entire conference, however, was the formation of a state-wide athletic organization designed to encourage and stimulate athletics among the colored youth of the state.
This organization, the New Jersey Colored Boys' Association, is open to every colored boy of New Jersey over fourteen as well as to grown men who are interested in the movement. Athletic competition will be limited in the future to boys between the ages of fourteen and twenty-one, and the Association will hold an annual tournament, the A.A. U., and the holding annual tournament a four-day athletic carnival with championships in swimming, boxing, tennis and track. James Thippe of Newark was elected president, Paul Bell of Newark, Gardner Williams of Tremon and Glendon Pearce of Bridgeton vice-presidents; and Charles Jackson of Salem; secretary. The executive committee consists of, Lester B. Gramer, chairman; V C. Daniel, Gardner Williams, Alvin Johnson, Edward Height, Wesley Green, Daniel Winge, Charles Jackson, Fred Murray, Harold Bower.

PULLMAN PORTER NEWS Trail of the National Negro
By JAMES H. HOGANS.
The Pullman News, a publication devoted to the interim achievements and doings of the Pullman Company and its employees, has the following, in the July issue: "Porter, Engineer C. Roundtree, familiarly known as Gene," on the Merchant's Limited between New York and Boston, has been a busy man. Roundly his daughter, Miss Jean, who studied under Mme. Paprika and who had eight years at the Boston Conservatory of Music, put on 'Roundtree's Dancing Revue of 1922.' The performance was given at the Dudley Opera House, which was filled. Miss Roundtree designed the costumes and sold the ticket; Ethel Roundtree and his eldest son tote up, and the other six young Roundtree students and their writer will add that Mr. Roundtree is considered one of our wealthy porters. Besides owning considerable real estate in Boston, he is in the possession of anumber of share in the Pullman Co. and other gilt edge securities.
James H. Newsome of Chicago has the record of being the oldest employee and longest in active service in the Pullman Company. He is 70 years old and has been in the service 52 years. "His philosophy is: "Never quarrel with a fool-humor him."
Among the many letters received by the Pullman Company from passengers in commendation of services rendered by their porters, during the month of June, one should give the company, as well as his colleagues, a compliment: "Porter Marshall Shaw of Jacksonville keeps his car clean and takes care of every passenger; whether they look like they were good for a tip or not." As a porter, I'll say, that's very good; but he is not an exception.

(By Our Own Correspondent). Macon, Ga.-Watermelon and gleaners, (switnesses and lynchings). These six words constitute the sum total of thoughts of many of us as we concern ourselves with the Southern Georgia. Only actual travel and contact with the people convining one that many conditions in Southern Georgia and other sections of the South tend to produce some of our strongest types of Negro men.
A visit to the little town of Waycross, Ga., be our correspondent for business activities carried out by our men and women in this community.
A small bank of about $150,000 deposits, presided over by Carlton W. Gaines, and a casket factory with J. B. McGraw as its president, are the outstanding businesses in this community. The bank has financed many smaller businesses and grocery stores, and showed their possibility of success for other businesses in that thriving town.
An active business league constitutes the rallying ground for a group of fifty or seventy-five business or professional men distributed throughout the country, and functions admirably in their business. Your correspondent was present at a meeting called to hear Dean L. B. Moore, who came as a representative of Dr. Robert R. Moton, the president of the National Negro Business League. The reports of committees and short addresses from the floor showed the men to be awake. Mr. McGraw, president of the casket factory, is president of the league, and Carlton W. Gaines, president of the major non-profit active member of the executive board. Dr. Moore addressed the league at length, and stirred up enthusiasm for the National meeting at Norfolk in August.
The next day, he left Waycross and held a meeting at Valdosta the following night. Here Dean Moore addressed an representative audience at St. Paul College, and opened opportunities open for Negro business enterprises in the South, in implying the fundamental needs of the Negro people food, clothing and shelter.
Thomas Hudson, an active business man of Valdosta, conducts a chain of four grocery stores well stocked with the best groceries, and patronized by both races. His visit to Jacksonville from Valdosta was overshadowed somewhat by the recent failure of the Bank of Anderson & Company. The losses by the more humble folk among us have shocked greatly the confidence of our people. Mr. Anderson seemed hopeful of reviving his bank and making it stronger than before. The local lague here is not very active, but purposes to become active immediately and have a delegate at the national meeting in Norfolk. Dr. Brown is president, and Lawyer Perkins is secretary. From Jacksonville your correspondent went to Savannah, where a small group of men were horrified called together to confer with Dean Moore about work of the National Negro Business Association. Savannah resented, and the men promised a good, strong force at Norfolk to tell of the activities of that section.
At Statesboro, a new league was organized through the activities of Dr Van Buren and representatives of the insurance companies. Dr. VanBuren is the only Negro physician in the little "Burge" and conducts a creditable samplings of both races, and practicing physicians of the white race. He is a graduate of Howard University.
From Statesboro, your correspondent went to Macon, where our old friend Douglass, is putting over his bank, hotel and theatre proposition all in one. Douglass always attends the National League, but the local league of Macon has never sent a delegate as their representative. Our friend, Douglass, plans to be present the year and hopes to bring some new talent to Macon. His is a credit to the city of Macon. His hotel has been renovated and furnished a desirable place for our business people traveling through that section.
Your correspondent will continue his travels for the league and report to you from time to time, and expect to be present at the National Business League meeting at Brooks, B.C., August 16th, 2014. He will be attending abations are being made to entertain the largest and most successful meeting ever held.

Georgia Minister Denounces Lynching of Two Negro Men
White Pastor at Jesup Delivers Strong Sermon in Condemnation of Men Who Took Part in Mobbing of Jordan and Harvey
(Special to The New York Am).
Jesup, Ga.—With country affords, prepares his special invitation, this Day, P. T. Holloway, pastor of the local Methodist church, proclaimed against the lynching of the two Negroes, Jordan and Harvey. Friday night, June 30, between Jesup and Savannah.

He chose for his text: "Be not deceived, God is not mocked; for whatsoever a man soweth that shall be also rage." He called upon the officers to search out the lynchers and bring them to trial or retire from office.
Mr. Holloway declared that every crime will sooner or later be found out, that it is also impossible to deceive God. He said that the time has come in the life of the state and nation "when we need the consciencefulness of the consciousness of God seeth me." He said that in this country the law are based upon God's work, and that individuals are held responsible for all of their acts. He said responsibility cannot be shifted to another's shoulder. Continuing he said:
I hope that you may get the ground upon which my plea for law enforcement and regards for law is based. That being the case, a Government is successful only when every individual citizen of the government realizes the responsibility that is upon him, as a citizen. I cannot, as an American citizen, place the responsibility for citizenship upon some one else. A good citizen has to be responsible for the responsibilities when the crime has been committed. It is the duty of every citizen to cry out against crime and to use every effort to bring the criminal to the bar of justice. "Whatsoever man sooth, that he shall be reas."
The Lvaching Record
This government of ours, especially here in Georgia, has been doing some very wild sowing in recent years, for the last thirty-seven years in the good State of Georgia, the 'Empire State of the Southland,' a state with her colleges and universities, a state with a broad acreage; her splendid manhood and womanhood; this great state of ours has written a record of bloodshed. Would you like to see the record? Four hundred and forty-five lynchings in the space of thirty-seven years. Who is so blame? Is it the lawless element? They have their part in it. But listen, the responsibility is on my shoulders and on your shoulders, and the good citizens who boast of their culture and refinement, lets a minority in this state mirror the pages of our history. We have been so dedicated as American citizens. We have said let the other man do it, and we have taken our place in a secluded corner shunning the responsibility, as a man and as a
the responsibility, as is the woman. I am taking my part of it, and I am expecting you to carry yours. Georgia boasts of her civilization, her culture and her refinement; she boasts of a broad and spotless history, and publishes to the world her virtues.
"We are providentially blessed or cursed with having two races in our state, and we proudly boast of the Anglo-Saxon blood that flows in our veins! We say that we are the superior race. Are we or are we not? What do you think of a man or a set of men, that takes a poor ignorant Negro, regardless of the crime he has committed—that doesn't enter into it—and hang him up and lynch him? Not lynch, but lynch the law, then call us a superior race. The strong men, the men of intelligence, taking a person unable to resent or resist, and thus butcher him?
'Brethren, where do we get our superiority, and where do we get our boatfissure when we take a poor Negro and bind him, torture him, or hang him and leave him there to die? Any man or set of men who would, under the cover of night, do such, are not fit to bear of their superiority.
Whip Cow Pen Full of Lynchery.
When my teacher to run me out of town, but I am going to speak the truth as I see it and let it rest where it will, but I am sure you of one thing, that is I do not fear to speak the truth, and those who do not like it may do what they please about it. I do not fear a man of the kind and I could whip a white cow or stuff of them, mind the yaks and the cracks.
out our superiority over the Brethren, you who boast in retinence and culture, it is to encourage and educate them out to see the awfulness of them they have committed to want to show the falsity of the arguments justifying They say that lynching the easiest way to dispose of the family from humiliation of attending court, the crime from the public. Let them question, tonight, friends, the most publicity, in your town that is well guarded until constituted officers of law, or crime is published in the daily Maine to the Gulf, and coast, as in the case today, this crime is published to world. Where is the greatest concern of publicity? You can find some of their excuses; that it is an act of chivalry, say that the womanhood of the Southland have neither in a body, and say that not care for chivalry of those whom it as an act of chivalry have denounced it is their re-ment religious clothe. That is that we have reached where we lynch them for History reveals that we for stealing, we lynch them stepping a white man, and there is an element in our cruelly waits for any encounter them.
The Government's Duty
Government must act in good faith in continuity, in doing its duty of providing protection to every citizen organized into several disfences. If crime is committed, you are called the commissioner of evidence justifies the arrest. A person is sworn out, they are released and he is carried back to the Court. When the court is superior and tried before the judge
joint jurors; he is found guilty or not guilty as the case may be, he is represented by able counsel, the criminal is represented by counsel secured by himself or appointed by the state; the state gives to every man the opportunity to clear himself of the guilt; if he is found guilty and condemned to die, his lawyers can appeal for a new trial, if he can get sufficient evidence; if he cannot secure such trial, there is a way of getting it before the Supreme Court, if he is denied a new trial, the Supreme Court may pass an order granting a new trial or they may not do so. If the Supreme Court does not, you have in Georgia a good chance of those duty it is consider commuting the sentence to life imprisonment. If they have sufficient evidence, or if they think justice has miscarried, they then commute the sentence to life imprisonment; if not, the lower courts are sustained.
The state grants the prisoner a right of appeal even through the Governor of this state. The Governor can respite the execution, or or commute the sentence, if he thinks Justice has miscarried. The government under which you and I live today grants every privilege to save life and property; every lot of reasonable doubt must and ought to be removed from the minds of justice. Every lawyer should use every cheap and turn of the law to save the lifef of his client. A lawyer who would not use every technicality of the law to save the life of his client is not fit to practice law, is not worthy the confidence of our country, and is not worthy to practice law at the bar of justice.
Facing Facts About Lynching
"After all that has been done for the protection of your liberty and mine, there are people in this town who will lynch the law, and undertake to execute themselves. The victim perhaps ought to die, but when you lynch the victim you have committed a greater crime, you have lynched the law. We claim protection under the law and unless the manhood of Georgia asserts itself it will be unsafe to walk the streets of our country. May God help us to see. Our government provides officers of the law to search out the criminal and bring him to prosecution. It is their duty and their sworn duty to protect every citizen whether it be a white man or a Negro—to give them every right and every protection in the power. I am going to ask you tonight to face some facts with me relative to the lynching that took place Friday night, June 30, near old Midway Church, the burying place of heroes who gave their lives for the laws of our land.
"I have heard the remark made since this lynching, that you could, not trust the court or the law to execute these Negroes. If the records in this case are the truth they will stand an investigation. If not the truth and there is a flaw in the record those Negroes had a right to demand that the records be investigated; our Governor had a perfect right to respite the sentence of execution of these Negroes. My beloved, in every murder trial, or at least a majority of them, the sentence is commuted two or three times."
"The Governor had a perfect right to set this execution for a later date. I do not know the ground upon which the execution was stayed, but it certainly would not have hurt to have waited thirty days."
The morning after the unlawful execution, I was in town, walked the streets and conversed with a good number of citizens; I did not see a half dozen strange people in this town. He heard a child being killed by a police officer and one of them was an officer who took charge of the victims purposely of taking Grem to Savannah.
Public Ans Questions
"The general public wants to know why they should have been taken away from Jesus; and especially why they should have been taken away in a Ford car, when, there were fast passenger trains going straight through to Savannah making no stops. The general public wants to know why it was necessary for the sheriff and his deputies to take these two Negroes an dearly them out of this town, when they, under the law, had a right to deputize the citizenship of this town to help in the protection of these Negroes. They demand to know how a mob of men seventy miles away could find out when these prisoners were taken from the county jail and where they got their information that they were traveling the road they did.
"The general public would like to know why the officers who had these prisoners in charge stopped at Lane's bridge thirty minutes, and told the guard that if anybody came along to tell them they were going to Savamah, and would probably have car trouble. The public wants to know whom those names I could call to a citizen's house on Thursday and said: 'Let's get these two Negreens and lynch them, the sheriff said it would be all right, that he would offer no resistance.'
"I have nothing against those two persons, but my sense of justice and righteousness is outraged. I am not saying that they ought not to have been hanged, if the facts warranted it, but you have sycholated the law. I want to say to you, beloved, sorrow, that it is a disgrace so the citizens of this land and country, and what is to be done? There is only one thing to be done and that is for these officers of the law to do everything in their power to bring every man in that mob to justice, and to clear themselves of the stigma upon them; public sentiment demands that they be brought to justice and that they stand by the courts of this land and country and every law of the country; if they can cause this, then get down and get out and men who have manhood and backbone enough to protect prisoners who are placed in their care. It is the duty of every man, every citizen of this country and state to stand fast-faced and court out law. Be not desirous, God is not metched; for whatever a man seems that shall be he so awful."

Gave me an from the future. I got something but anxiety. I got nervous but courage when every doubt came small this land, for, brawnish we have got to keep what we saw. Twenty-three our twenty-four years ago I was an apprentice in the locomotive works; one of my boyhood friends said to me one day: 'I hear there is going to be a lynching downtown, and I went to see it.' Of course, I being a young fellow, I went down with him to see the lynching. They were trying two Negroes for this crime of rape, and the judge was holding court in a cotton warehouse, and a deputy sheriff made a motion in the court, a kind of signal, and it seemed to me that everybody got up and moved towards those Negroes. They took the Negroes out and lynched them on Broad street. A fellow from Harris county, then living in Columbus tied the knots and the deputy sheriff crawled up into the tree and tied the knots around the tree. They did not wait until he got down before the Negroes were shot to pieces. There were ten men who took part in the lynching, and I have watched the careers of those men. This deputy sheriff afterwards moved to Harris county, some fifteen miles from there, and one of the men in the mob visited his home, and he killed this visitor for the same crime for which they lynched those Negroes. The man killed had reaped what he sowed.
"In the meantime the deputy sheriff was put in jail, and after serving his sentence came back, and a few years ago, having been chief of police in a small town in another back, he was found out, brought back to Harris county, sentenced to the state farm for life. While there two of his daughters who had grown into young women had this crime committed against them, but by white men; one of these men moved to a little Western town and was bribed for the same crime that he lynched those two Negroes for, and every man of the ten members of that mob resped what they sowed.
I am not justifying the man who would not protect his home, but when the law places its hand upon the criminal, we should respect the law, or we are sowing anarchy and communism. We are going to reap what we sowed. May God help us to be true citizens of this country. May God help us."
St. James Presbyterian Church.
The services at St. James Presbyterian Church, 59-61 West 137th street, near Lenox avenue, was largely attested. A large number of students and teachers who are specializing at Columbia College were present.
Dr. Hyder discussed the subject, "The mysteries of Providence—as seen in the relationship of life." Three
East Northfield, Mass.—A plea for considerate treatment of the educated Negro woman of America was made at the Home Missions conference by Mrs. Charlotte Hawkins Brown of Sedalia, N. C., principal of the Alice Freeman Palmer School for Negro girls. Mrs. Brown asserted that the white women of the South do not know or understand the educated Negro woman, and said that until the South does try to understand her and her problems, the race problem will remain acute. Mrs. Brown, who is a native of Massachusetts, born in Cambridge, spoke, she said, representing 100,000 of the better educated Negro women of the South, members of churches, clubs and other organizations. She is principal of the Alice Freeman Palmer School for Women at Sedalia, N. C.
One class of Negro women in the South has been in the homes of the whites through slavery days down to the present as servants. If they had not been women, they could not have made so fine a contribution.
"But it is the problem of the colored educated women, not of the class above, in which I am interested. This latter class is treated worse by the whites than the women of the white underworld. The yearning of Negro women for conveniences of home life and education for their children are not recognized. The desire of Negroes to get on paved streets where there are electric lights is not a desire to fraternize with the whites against their will; it is merely the desire to have the benefit of modern improvements.
Deeper Chasm Than Formerly

Educated Woman
Southern States
Brown Says They Are Wites Than Are Women of Underworld.
Iy no contact between women of these two types. During the war, race was forgotten for a time. We Negroes were asked to help sell Liberty bonds and Thrift stamps and assist in all the welfare drives, but as soon as the war was over, we quickly became isolated again. In the South, the Negro woman faces the problem of lack of recognition; in the North she faces prejudices not so prominently placarded, but there just the same. Northern women do not seem to be strong enough in character to ward off the prejudices of the Southern men; rather than displease their Southern friends, Northern women will outdo them in cruelty to Negro women. But if the Northern woman would only hold her ground, I believe that the true womanhood of the South gradually would come up to her level. The Southern woman feels that the Northern woman's professed love for the Negro is only skin deep, and boasts that one Southern woman can poison the minds of one thousand Northern women against the Negro.
Should Overcome the Prejudice
"It is the task of the white women of the whole country to try to overcome prejudices against the Negro—it is their task to try to understand the Negro. The Negro woman does not seek to push herself into the society of the whites, but she does feel a right to demand the enjoyments to which she is entitled by high education. The Negro woman wants everything a white woman wants, except a white husband.
"White women have a great opportunity to study the Negro in a detached manner as they do other races, and try to solve the race problem. They have the chance to prove the value of the doctrine of Christ respecting brotherly love, and they have no right to convert the people of other countries to such beliefs

The people on the North side of the street have been especially active in the work on the organization. There are thirty-two houses on this side of the street, of which all but four are owned by Negroes, and they take special pride in keeping their homes beautiful.
Last Spring the people on this side,
unless they make them work out in this country where the problem exists. The challenge of the day is for the white women to be willing to hear with sympathy the story of the Negro woman, and to treat her kindly and considerately."
The attitude of the Negro Republicans of Georgia toward the pending Federal appointments in the South is strikingly indicated by the following comment which appeared in the Savannah Journal:
The administration still holds up important lily white nominations. This is perfectly satisfactory to old line Republicans who would rather see Democrats hold these offices than lily white Republicans.
The so-called "lilywhite" Republicans is a political anomaly, which is neither fish, flesh nor fowl. No wonder that a straightout Democrat is preferred by those who have to deal with the Federal authorities in the South.

through the offices of Mrs. Pengus and Moralee Washington, gave the court between 159th and 140th street a thorough cleaning and planted flowers and overgrows at a cost of more than $100. The money for this work was raised by voluntary contributions, and the members are now paying a man weekly wages to keep this court in proper condition. The trees planted in the street and are having those already there kept in the best condition.
A. first the organization found it difficult to get the owners or occupants of some of the houses to see the need of contributing, and several of the officers had to advance the money to have the court cleaned. Since they have gotten such splendid results in the past few months, contributions have been coming in in large numbers. Most of the residents are now paying fifty cents each week towards this work.
Contributors to the fund for cleaning the court and planting flowers were as follows: A. G. Mose, $1.50; R. W. Willis, $2; Mrs. Herbert, 50 cents; Mrs. Butler, $1; Mrs. Louis George, $1; Mrs. Robertson, $2; A. M. Willis, $2; Mrs. V. W. Tandy, $2; M. Marsh, $2; Mrs. A. V. Ferguson, $2; Mrs. Alma Grant, $3; Mrs. Wilson, $1; Mrs. Austin, $2; Mr. Post, $2; B. P. Thomas, $3; Mr. Burnam, $3; Mr. Stokes, $2; Mr. Gobbler, $1; Mr. Albera, 50 cents; Dr. Oliver, $3; Prince and Princess Myaterin, $1; tenants on 140th street, $8.11; Watt Terry, $10; Mrs. Ida Fergans, $10; Dr. and Mrs. Roberta, $15, and H. Washington, $20.
The work that this association has been doing in beautifying their homes, should be duplicated not only in other blocks in Harlem, but by Negroes in all sections of the country, for such work not only helps those directly concerned, but it will cause other races to have more respect for the Negro race.
