Harding and Congress. Asks Reparation and Demands That U. S. Marines Be Withdrawn (Special to Norfolk Journal & Guide) Washington, D. C.—A document setting forth in comprehensive detail the political, economic and financial conditions existing in the Republic of Haiti under American military rule, and charging a long series of atrocities by American marines, was presented Monday to President Harding, Secretary of State Hughes and Congress by three Haitian delegates, representing the Patriotic Union of Haiti. The document, when made public, created a mild sensation in government circles, as it tells of torture and numerous outrages against the government and people of Haiti. It also characterized the inquiry of the American marines as a "joke." The "memoir" gives a complete history of the American occupation, covering a period of five years, beginning with the affairs incident to military intervention, the landing of troops, execution of treaty, military control and administration and the reorganization of the finances of the republic. Furthermore, it is charged that more than 4,000 prisoners died in 1918, 1919, and 1920 in the prisons at Cap-Haitian, and that "at Chabert, an American camp, 5,476 prisoners died during these three years." Defies Description "The ghastly morality in the prisons," continues the memorial, "together with confirmation by survivors, reveals a record of atrocities of brutalities and cruelty which defies description. It is a record for which it would be difficult to find a parallel." The memorial concludes by stating that during the five years of American occupation, Haiti "has passed through such sacrifices, tortures, destructions, humiliations, and misery as have never before been known in the course of its unhappy history." For these "wrongs and injuries" the Haitian people ask reparation, says the memorial, and they also request immediate abolition of martial law and courts-marshal. Many Lawless Acts One of the lawless acts charged against the marines is the removal of $500,000 of Haitian government funds from the island to the gambit Minchins, which was deposited in a New York bank. This was done, it is set forth in the complaint, "to force the Haitian government to accept control of the custom houses financial resources." Dissolve Body by Force Entrance by Brigadier General Smedley D. Butler, June 19, 1917, revolver in hand, "followed by American officers armed with their revolvers," into the Haitian legislature chamber, and dissolution by force of the Haitian legislative assembly. Enforced ratification, June 12, 1918, of a new Haitian constitution, with marines presiding at the ballot boxes, only ballots bearing the word "yes" being issued. Exclusion from the naval court of inquiry of "all Haitians who had anything to say regarding the numerous cases of murder, brutality, rape, arson, etc., that is, of Haitians who wished to convince the court of the way in which the forces of occupation had carried but their duty in Haiti."

C. President Harding has given his approval and good will to the second annual "Go to High School, Go to College" drive which is a nation-wide campaign to encourage Afro-American youths to continue their education, being conducted this week, May 9th to 15th, by the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, the pioneer Afro-American college fraternity, at its various chapters situated throughout the United States. In a letter to Normal L. McGhee, the General Secretary of the Fraternity, President Harding wrote that the results of the first drive held June 6 to 12, 1920, seem to justify the repetition of the effort this year. "The need for effective work to reduce illiteracy among the colored people" he added "is very great and manifestly it can be accomplished chiefly through the equipment of members of the colored race to do educational work among their own people. You may be sure of my earnest sympathy and good will." Last year 2,000 members of the Alpha Phi Alpha located in all parts of the country carried the gospel of "stay in high school" and "go to college" to 500 schools, 700 churches and to a half million parents and pupils. It is the hope of the Fraternity to reach one million pupils this year. Local Activities Zeta-Lambda, the local chapter of this fraternity has had a full week, holding conferences with grammar grade, and high school students, as well as their parents all the week. Every school in this city, Portsmouth Newport News, Phoebus and Hampton has been visited. Various members gave ten minute talks in the various assembly rooms and had personal interview with the pupils. The graduating classes of the grammar grades were the guests of the Chapter Wednesday and Thursday, while a huge patrons meeting was held in the Auditorium of Booker T. Washington High School on Thursday night. Great Mass Meeting Sunday On/Sunday, May 15th at 3:30 P. M. the drive will culminate in a great educational mass meeting in the Attucks, Theatre.

Tampa, Fla.—Sam Bellenger a colored man who shot and killed a deputy sheriff near Lawter, Fla., and who was being held in jail at Strike pending a hearing of his case was taken out at midnight, his body hunged to a tree and riddled with bullets by a mob of citizens.

C.—Senator Tinkham's resolution to have a federal investigation of disfranchisement laws in the South will not be acted upon at this session of congress. After making a strenuous effort to get his resolution before the house last Friday he was ruled out of order by speaker Gillett and although he appealed from the speaker's decision the members of the house sustained the speaker, 285 to 45. Representative Mondell, republican leader, opposed the bringing of the resolution before the house at this time. Representative Tinkham contended that if his resolution went into the hands of the committee it would be buried there as had a similar resolution in the past and declared that it was in order ahead of all other business. Introduce Anti- Jim Crow Bill in Florida Senate Tallahassee, Fla.—An anti- Jim Crow law bill was introduced in the Florida Senate last Friday. The bill is intended to repeal the section of the Jim Crow car law which prohibits Afro-Americans who are inter- State passengers, from riding in Pullman cars in this State. Two Interesting Meetings of Universal Negro Improvement Association at St. Luke and Second Calvary Churches That the Garvey movement is not waning, but is gaining momentum, is the impression received by impartial observers who attended the meeting of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League held on Monday and Tuesday evenings, respectively, at the Saint Luke C. M. E. and the Second Calvary Baptist churches of this city. The familiar faces of A. Hobbs, President of the Association, and Rev. Columbus Maxwell were seen on the rostrum, and each in his own characteristic way exhibited the work and aim of the organization and prepared the audiences for the main address delivered on each occasion by the Honorable Frederick Augustus Toote of Boston. Mr. Toote was in good form, his voice carrying well and his argument for racial unity and co-operation making a strong appeal to his hearers. His subject on Monday night at Saint Luke was "The Supreme Sacrifice," and on Tuesday night at Second Calvary he spoke on "The Handwriting on the Wall." Negroes everywhere, he said are getting together. He commented on result from so simple an act as the waving at the same time of one arm by all the Negroes of the world. He tried to impress upon his hearers that all signs indicate that the time has come for a change in the status of the lowly Negro, and the Negro himself, he advised, must not hesitate to make the supreme sacrifice of life itself in the promotion and advancement of everything tending to facilitate solidarity and uplift. Many attended the meeting on Monday night at Saint Lake in the hope of seeing and hearing Marcus Gravey himself. While disappointed because he was not present, numbers expressed themselves as pleased and delighted with the showing made by the speaker of the evening, who gave the impression that he is an able supporter of the work of Gravey. On Tuesday night at Second Calvary the Black Cross Nurses, an organization of ladies affiliated with the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League, turned out in uniform and made a good showing. The speaker on both evenings claimed that the Gravey movement has more followers than any other Negroes, and if the figures they quote are correct, their claims are justified. Petersburg Wins In Triangle Debat Event Petersburg, Va.—The annual debates in the "East Virginia Tringle interest. The Triangle is composed of Hampton Normal and Industrial Institute, St. Paul Normal and Industrial School and Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute. It was organized five years ago. The debates of this year were not exceptions. The question debated by the members of the Triangle was "Resolved; that the United States should prohibit the immigration of unskilled labor for five years." The problem of immigration was before the country for solution and it would have been difficult to find a question which would appeal more directly to the interest of the debaters and the public. Virginia Normal defended the affirmative of the proposition against Hampton and won by a unanimous decision. The speakers for Petersburg were Miss Susie A. Shepperson, Miss Eva T. Hilton with Miss Helen L. Cophus as alternate. The speakers for Hampton were Wesley D. Elam, Clarence C. Blow with Andrew M. Burris as alternate. Since the organization of the Triangle Petersburg has won five consecutive victories over Hampton and three over St. Paul. Last year no official debate was held with St. Paul because of an error in the statement of the question. This year no debate was held with St. Paul because of failure to agree on the selection of judges. MR. WILLIAM LIPKIN COMING Mr. William Lipkin, of Philadelphia, Pa., sole owner of the "Glassboro Estates," will be present at the monster mass meeting that will be held at the Attucks Theatre Sunday, May 15, 1921. A special program has been prepared for the occasion by Dr. Maxwell, who will be a guest of ceremonies. The meeting will be opened at o'clock. Sunday evening and the public in general is invited. PRICE FIVE CENTS THREE MORE INDICTMENTS ON PEONAGE True Bills Returned Against One Deputy Sheriff and Two Other White Men Who Enslaved Afro-Americans. (Special to Norfolk Journal & Guide) Chattanooga, Tenn.—It has become known here that infections have been returned by the United States Grave Jury against A. H. Dunaway, wealthy plaster of Oglethorps, Ga., who is charged with being chief conspirator in a peonage plot developed in this city; John Dunaway his brother, and Tom Erwin, a deputy sheriff of Oglethorpe County, Ga. The prosecution of the three men was directed through the office of the attorney general in Washington and was the outgrowth of a series of habeas corpus cases instituted here two years ago by an attorney for John Muckle, a colored man, in which it was charged that peonage was the motive for an attempt to take him back to the State of Georgia to stand trial for various offenses. When the case came to the attention of government agents an investigation was carried and the district attorney for the northern district of Georgia was instructed to investigate. The report from the investigation was unfavorable to the Drayways and United States Attorney Fernando of the eastern district of Tennessee was directed by the department of justice to prosecute the cases. The cases have been brought before the grand jury and true bills found. It was agreed that the defendants will be tried in the November term of the federal court in Chattanooga. ATTORNEY CITES INJUSTICES OF GEORGIA COURTS ATTORNEY CITES INJUSTICES OF GEORGIA COURTS Filed Briefs Showing That Valuable Properties Were Taken Through Coercion and Intimidation (Special, to Norfolk Journal, & Guide). Atlanta, Ga.—That Afro-Americans get little or no protection in the Georgia courts was brought out in this in a brief for complainants whose properties had been forcibly and illegally taken from them and are being used by the Southern Railroad and other corporations without the owners having proper compensation for the same. In urging a review of the court records in the cases his petition stated that during the last eighteen and had had decision to bring several cases in the Supreme Court of the Atlanta, Ga. and that "in every case petitioner has denied the benefit of the process of law and denied the right of property without due process of law." The brief continued: "Petitioner and those he represents are people of color, and prejudice prevails in said State against the colored race as citizens, and the petitioner is deprived of his rights guaranteed him under the laws of the United States and the State of Georgia, the account of race, color and previous conditions of servitude. * * * And in every case has deprived the right of a trial by jury. Criminal Warrants Issued "The defendants named in the cases presented in the proceedings issued criminal warrants against petitioner as a means of itimidation, secured the arrest and indictment of petitioner for so proceeding, causing petitioner to be held in jail an unreasonable length of time, to punish him into submission of their demands in holding the said estate and enriching themselves without lawful right."

Thomas Newsome, of Newport News, Va., delivered a masterly address, subject, "A Layman's Estimate of the Apostle Paul." Rev. M. B. Birchette, the rector, introduced Mr. Thomas H. Reid as our rising young attorney in a few well-chosen remarks, in which he took occasion to compliment Mr. Reid upon his growing popularity and future promise, also to refer to the distinguished guest orator, Mr. Reid fully justified the compliment paid him in his speech, introducing Mr. Newsome. He was at his best. He spoke eloquently of Mr. Newsome. Among other things he said that, no where in this country could be found a more logical, eloquent and forceful speaker, profound scholar, resourceful politician, skillful lawyer or devout Christian gentleman than J. Thomas Newsome, whom he had the honor to introduce. Dr. Johnson, of Truxtun, Va., sang the Newsome began his address, which lasted for several minutes. As usual, he delighted his audience. He spoke with that vigor and confidence that carry conviction. He knew his subject; he knew the history of the great Apostle and told it in beautiful language. Mr. Newsome spoke of St. Paul as a great orator, without the tricks of the orator, as a speaker, who did not deal in superlatives, needlessly to play in the galleries. His description of St. Paul's defense before Agrippa was instructive and eloquent, that is if St. Paul was not a Biblical justifier, his speeches would be studied in our courses and universities just as the oration Cicero, Demosthesus and Pericles. He closed with the militant quotation of the great Apostle, "I have fought a good fight." Those who heard Mr. Newsome and many who did not are anxious for him to repeat his address at an early date.

Bell LET THE TRUTH BE KNOWN The Roanoke city officials who invited colored citizens to an unofficial conference to discuss plans for amicably adjusting the problems growing out of the sale of houses in a certain section of that city by their white owners to colored purchasers declined to discuss a full statement of housing and sanitary conditions as submitted by the colored citizens, dismissing them with the indefinite and not at all reassuring remark that "nouncil had done and is doing now everything in its power to give the colored sections of the city everything possible." But the incident did not fail to hear good fruit for the colored citizens, for it was the occasion for getting their case squarely up to the citizens of Roanoke, as the daily papers of the city, in a fine spirit of justice, published their statement in full. It is so typical of conditions generally affecting the colored citizens everywhere that we are printing it in full in this issue of the JOURNAL AND GUIDE, that more publicity and more discussion may be given to it. Just what the Roanoke official meant by "everything possible" is better understood no doubt by the city commission than by the colored citizens of Roanoke. They showed that the paving of streets was left off where the colored sections began; that there were no sewerage, lights or gas in many of their streets; that they had no parks or playgrounds and that their school houses were delapidated and obsolete. These things were in wide contrast to conditions in the white sections, and were responsible for the very human desire upon the part of colored citizens, who had cultivated higher ideals of life and higher standards of living, to move into a street where such improvements and conveniences could be found. Publicity of the right kind, unbiased and truthful, will do more than anything else to correct misuses. The isolation of the colored citizens, and their inability to get the facts of their civic inequalities before the bar of public opinion have combined to increase and perpetuate them. Getting our case board by the people will eventually get it heard at the seat of government. A SIGN OF PROGRESS In another column of this page we are printing an editorial from The Independent, a newspaper published at Elizabeth City, N. C. It is what may be termed the enlightened view of the white South on the subject it discusses with so much frankness and fairness, although it is generally admitted that the editor of The Independent is years ahead of the majority public sentiment in progressive ideas. But his splendid views, so ably expressed, are a herald of what is to come. The South is fast learning that an illiterate or poorly trained citizen or inhabitant is a liability and a drawback to the material and social progress of the State and the nation. Opposition to the education of the Negro is given away to the more enlightened sentiment expressed in The Independent editorial. DEATH OF A GREAT JOURNALIST The sudden death of Mr. Edward A. Warren, the managing editor of the New York Amsterdam News, is a distinct loss to Afro-American journalism. He was not only an accomplished managing editor, with a sensitive nose for what is news the people want and will pay for, but his grasp of the opinions which the mass of the people want to know about in the editorial discussion of a paper was worldwide and race-embracing. And Mr. Warren possessed in rare measure the faculty of making business for the paper. His pleasing, genial manners and his up-to-date business promptness and reliability, with a capacity for tenacious hustling, had much to do with his success as the business man in a newspaper office. Mr. Warren was, withal, a stalwart, manly person, who loved his race and was devotedly loyal to it and its interests, while his friends, who were very numerous, regarded him as a man whom to know, was but to trust and honor. THE PRESIDENT ASKS FOR ECONOMY IN PUBLIC EXPENDITURES The Democratic Administration, during its life of eight years, not only multiplied the ways to spend the public moneys but appointed an army of employees to spend it, always greatly in excess of the requirements of the work to be done, and overpaid them for their services. Not only the business of the Government, but the railroads, telegraph and express business, which the government took over dur- ing the life of the war and for some time after, were overtaxed to do the work necessary and overloaded with a horde of officials, and employees with exaggerated salaries to do the work. The public service corporations are having a difficult task to reduce the useless offices and employees and their high salaries as fixed by the Federal Administration, and the public is being taxed the limit in freight and passenger charges to pay the cost of it. It is in line with a proper conduct of the public affairs that President Harding should call upon all of the departments of the public service to reduce the number of their employees to the requirements of the service and to confine themselves within the limits of their appropriations. This should be done as a matter of common sense management of the public affairs, and the people of the Republic expect the Republican Administration to do it. A long time ago a big howl was made throughout the land when, for the first time, the Congress appropriated a billion dollars for the transaction of the public business. It was said at the time that "this is a billion dollar country." Perhaps. But what would the same people call it now, when the annual expenditures are figured at more than five hundred billion dollars per annum? There is urgent demand that the expenditures of the Government should be reduced to the lowest point consistent with a proper conduct of the public business. NEGRO EDUCATION (From The Independent, Elizabeth City, N.C.) More than three million dollars will be invested in the public education of Negroes in North Carolina during the next twelve months. Of this amount approximately a million dollars will be invested in new school buildings and equipment. The fact of such a vast expenditure of money for Negro education is viewed with alarm by thousands of white people who see in Negro education the passing of the ignorant, shovely, happy-go-lucky scullion who did one's household drudgery for a dollar and a half a week and what she could eat and carry home. They see aight; the ignorant, dirty, incompetent—the humble and good-natured—Negro cook and housegirl is truly passing; she will presently be as extinct as the Indian in the country. Education for fashioned colored girls out of the wash tubs and out of the kitchens of Southern white people. These colored girls who require an education acquire at the same time a higher standard of living that will not enable them to compete with their ignorant, lowly paid sisters. All of this is deplorable to a lot of white people who prefer a plethora of unraint, unskilled, unreliable labor that can be hired for a pittance and treated like poems. But the country is going to be infinitely better off for its educated colored people. The country is going to be better educated at the State Normal School for that face at Elizabeth City comes out of that school a better citizen. She not only requires a lot of those facts that we call education, but she acquires what is better still, a sense of her social responsibilities and an appreciation of the possibilities of human development. She acquires a fine regard for tidiness, cleanliness and personal hygiene; she learns to do things with horriness; she to make and repair things; she learns to cook; she learns how to prepare and serve a wholesome meal dainty and efficient. She learns good promises. Those girls are not now helping to make better homes for white people, but they are making better homes among their own people and raising the living standards and ethical standards of their own race, which is a fact of immense importance to the health and social well being of all white people. The time will come when the educated, colored girl or woman will be available for domestic employment. When the art of cooking and washing and ironing and housekeeping has been a little better perfected; when we have learned to make a greater use of labor-saving machinery in the home and have systematized our house-work and eliminated so many present useless, cumbersome and extravagant tasks of doing things, skilled labor will be no place for the unskilled. But maybe when we reach this stage of domestic development we will not require any help at all. That would be the ideal condition and it is a condition that is not at all unattainable. A RACE COMMISSION—A CONSTRUCTIVE PLAN There is no more useful paragraph in President Harding's message than that which deals with the race question because he has several constructive proposals to make. In the first place, he comes out against the abomination of lynching. In the second, he dwells on the suggestion that some of the difficulties of the race problem, might be ameliorated by a humane treatment consideration of it, a study of life in the United States, a fort to formulate, if not a policy, at least a national attitude of mind calculated to bring about the most satisfactory possible adjustment of relations between the races, and of each race to the national life. One proposal is the creation of a commission embracing representatives of both races to study and report on the entire subject. The proposal has real merit. I am aware that in mutual tolerance, understandable to all, the interdependence of the races, and the maintenance of the rights of citizenship lies the road to righteous adjustment." This is in marked contrast, of course, to the attitude of the Wilson administration, which sought, ostrich-like, to evade the whole question—after instituting segregation in the several departments at Washington. Now President Harding senses the possibility of at least obtaining the scientific facts. Who knows, for instance, whether there is or is not an undue criminality among the Negroes? Who knows all the facts about the actual economic status of the Negro? We have had our eyes opened to the existing pleonage by the hostile murders, now declared to be eighteen, of Negro slaves upon the plantation of John Williams, of Jasper County, Georgia. How much of this is there? Even the census helps little. Hence the very first step toward a readjustment of race relationships should be the obtaining of all the information necessary to sound and scientific judgments unaffected by theories, or prejudices. Of course The Nation approves and commends Mr. Harding's proposal. Just eight years ago its present editor laid before President Wilson, then newly in office, this very plan to which Mr. Harding now leans. The approach to Mr. Wilson was in co-operation with the American Advancement of Colored People, and a printed plan was laid before the President, after consultation with many different kinds of Northerners and Southerners. Mr. Wilson would not approve; he rejected it for fear that it might offend the feelings of the South, despite the fact that it was suggested that a Southerner be the chairman. Because the program has been published before and the scheme seems to us as practical as it did eight years ago, we print it here in the hope that it will commend itself to President Harding. It is as follows: A PROPOSAL FOR A NATIONAL RACE COMMISSION (To be appointed by the President of the United States) PLAN AND PURPOSE (May, 1913) To be modeled on lines of President Roe's County Life Commission and President Taft's Industrial Commission. To be financed by private subscriptions to the extent of $50,000 or $50,000. Program:—A non-partisan, scientific study of the status of the Negro in the life of the nation, with particular reference to his economic situation. This study to include A. Physical health and efficiency; B. Homes and property; C. Work charges; D. Education; E. Religious and moral influences; F. Citizenship, legal status, and participation in government. ORGANIZATION AND MEMBERSHIP The proposed President's Race Commission should consist of fifteen personal and nonfederal, of whom one shall preferably be Charles I. five Northerners, and five members of the Negro race. It is suggested that they be selected from the following lists: SOUTHERNERS Dr. James H. Dillard, Pres, Jeanes Fund and Director of the Slater Fund, of New Orleans. Mrs. Desha Breckinridge, of Lexington, Kentucky. Alfred H. Stone, of Mississippi. Rev. Dr. J. G. Snedecor, of Alabama. Secretary of the Colored Evangelization of the Presbyterian Church, South. Hon. James H. Shayden, Congressman from Texas. NORTHERSERS Jane Addams, of Chicago. Hon. A. E. Pillsbury, ex-Attorney General of Massachusetts. Prof. J. E. Spingarn, of New York. Julius Rosenthal, of Chicago, H. Colonel Major R. R. Moton, of Hampton institute. Prof. Kelley Miller, of Howard University. Rev. Archibald Grimke, of Washington, D.C. John Mitchell, Jr., Editor the Planet, Richmond, Va. W. Ashbie Hawkins, Attorney-at-Law, Baltimore, Maryland. METHODS OF WORK They shall aim: A. To systematize, evaluate, and make available material already collected. B. To collect further general material by questionnaires and reports covering the nation. C. To make certain local intensive studies by means of experts. D. To publish a faithful and detailed (1) the progress of the Negro during his half century of freedom; (2) the obstacles to progress in the past and future, and (3) practical suggestions as to his future welfare. This report to be submitted by the President to Congress if he so desires. CO-OPERATING AGENCIES The following organizations or groups interested in the Negro or in the "Negro problem" should cooperate: (1) The Federal Commission on Industrial Relations. (2) Southern agencies: The University Commission on Southern Race Questions; the Southern Sociological Congress; the Southern Education Association; Nashville; the Y. M. C. A. international committee in the South (Weatherford); Social workers, like Little of Louisville; college teachers the Negro like Hammond of Paine College; Augusta; the two Phelps-Stokes colleges (Lakewood University of Georgia and Virginia); (3) Negro agencies: National Business Men's League and other business organizations; colleges like Atlanta, Fisk, Wilberforce; industrial schools like Hampton and Tuskegee; religious, fraternities, and other organizations; women's clubs. (4) Independent organizations, like the National League on Urban Conditions of the Negro, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, etc. (5) Funds: Jeans, Slater, Southern Education, General Education, Miner, Peabody, Phelps-Stokes, etc. (6) Government agencies, such as Department of Education, etc., and trained sociologists and statisticians. We sincerely believe that if such a race commission could be instituted it would be a great step forward in the history of the Negro race in America provided only that it was properly trained and committed. It would be found to be of very great economic and spiritual benefit to the masses of colored and white people in the South. THE NEGRO NEWSPAPER (Method, the Magazine of Negro Business.) Taking it by and large, if you were asked what has been the strongest moral force (aside from the Church) in the upbuilding of the race in America, what would you answer? What institution has fought unremittingly the battles of the race? What power has upheld the race in its upward struggle for half a century? What medium has ungrudgingly stood sponsor for educational, political, social, industrial commercial and financial development—and so often without compensation or any thought thereof? Start any kind of movement on earth in any of the whole four branches of human activity, and the first step is PUBLICITY; and publicity means NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE by the to be in the newspaper has unselfishly contributed column after column of space to kinds of causes, both worthy and otherwise, from wild-cat senescens to the building of cathedrals; and has even done so at actual financial loss, but of withthose people. The public has been so accustomed to call on the newspaper as a free means of prepanda, that unintentionally of course, the practice has become almost an abuse. But the Negro newspaper has gone on under the load, never flinching from its duty to proclaim the just causes of its problems—and has never asked reward, if at all, about time that reward is in order? The biggest reward you can bestow upon the Negro newspaper is to READ it. It has given its advertisements and its advertisements secured on its circulation basis. Its circulation is YOU, the reader. Then, too, in order to get Negro news in full, you must read Negro newspapers. There are many friendly white 'dailies and other periodicals, but their columns are so crowded with the stress of their own people (and just so, they are so crowded and space to devote to Negro activity, as such. You owe it to yourself to know what your race is doing. You can know it but one way—the way of the Negro press. Read the Negro newspaper. Its the race's best friend. Howard University Annual Track Meet Washington, D.

Six Victims of Elaine Riot to be Executed (Special to Norfolk Journal and Guide) Little Rock, Ark.-All efforts put forward to save the six Afro-Americans charged with exciting a race riot at Elaine have been of no avail and the Governor has set the date of their execution for June 10. Many colored people at Elaine were murdered and their property destroyed in a massacre which occurred in that place last October growing out of their resentment of unfair treatment at the hands of white farmers. The Arkansas courts did not think this punishment was sufficient and an example is to be made of the six colored men held. Arrested for Exhibiting Pictures of Lynching (Special to Norfolk Journal und Guide) Milwaukee, Wis.-Edward Thompson, representative of the National Association for the Advancement of Black People, was arrested here last week for the "possession of pictures of leachings in an exhibition purposes." The authorities charged that the pictures would stir up racial strife and therefore wanted them prohibited. The pictures depicted the lynching of five Afro-Americans and the burning of one colored Liquor Transported Savannah, Ga., April 29—The airplane, which was caught at the landing field in Daffin Park several nights ago, well loaded with liquor, is owned in Chattanooga, Tenn., according to the police. A marine officer from Paris Island, S. C., is said to have identified it. The plane has been placed in the custody of the Federal officers, as the State has no law covering the disposition of a flying machine bearing liquor. The commissioner of police said today he expected the plane to be claimed by its owner in a few days. girl.

(& 1921, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate) It was a rainbow wedding—a pink maid-of-honor and blue and cammy and lavender and pale green bridesmaids. Evelyn looked so sweet and eloquence in her white gown and veil that I just curled into my corner of the pew and cried. I had loved her from her babyhood. I had made her first short frocks and roupers and her graduation gown, but my fingers had grown too stiff to be trusted with wedding garments. Maurice Penfield, looking more dignified and self-possessed than ever, was none the less handsome for his graying temples. "Isn't he here looking?" Luella Bates whispered, and so talented, and rich, too! But aren't you sorry he's a widow—a warmed-over man? "No," I whispered back, "he has been tested, and he has borne the test. He was all devotion to his invaluable wife." Luclia was shone, but down in my heart I was a little sorry. I wanted our Evelyn's marriage to be ideal in every way. But, after all, it was not the lovely bride or the stately bridegroom who held the eyes of the little company that filled the paws. It was the lady who sat still upright in the fourth pew of the west wing. They were whispering to each other: "Who is the lady in gray?" Doctor Landghear began the service in his quiet, penetrating tones. When he came to the words: "If any one knows any reason why these two should not be joined in marriage, let him speak now, or forever hold his peace," and I hold my breath for an instant as I always did. I always had a nervous feeling: "What if some one should come forward and speak?" I had been a guest at 24 weddings, and no one had come forward. This time some one did. It was the lady in gray. "I know a reason," she said in a deep voice that could be heard in every corner of the church. Doctor Landbear looked surprised, but he kept his usual dignified poise. "Will you state your reason?" he asked quietly. "My sister Muriel is Maurice Penfield's wife, and my sister Muriel is here." The pink maid of honor flushed with anger. The invader bridesmaid was in tears. The caryam bridesmaid tilted her chin haughtily. The blue and pale green bridesmaids clung together tremblingly. Evelyn herself was deadly pale. Maurice Penfield throw a strong arm about her. "It is my sister-in-law. The poor woman is insane." He turned to one of the ushers. "Can you take her out quietly?" Evelyn turned instantly and looked behind her. I could see how violently she was trembling. Maurice drew her gently back. "Try to be calm, Evelyn. The poor mad woman is not worth minding." "But Muriel is there, I saw her myself," she shivered. "Evelyn," he said, sternly, this time, "you must be calm." Then speaking to Doctor Landphear: "I think we may go on now." Monties after the dear girl came to me in that same little shimby room and told me the whole story. "I am happy now, Miss Buffum," she said. "But I was very unhappy at first. Maurice was very patient and tender with me, but I could not make him understand. He would not believe that Muriel did come. He thought it was simply a case of nerves." "But, Evelyn, I saw no one." "But she was there. She came again. She came three times. I used to feel so guilty and frightened. You see, it was the locket." "The locket, Evelyn?" "Yes, the dearest, loveliest, quintestil silver locket you ever saw. It contained a lock of Muriel's hair. He had given it to Muriel, and she always wore it night and day underneath her gowns. Before she died she gave it back to Maurice and charged him never to let anyone else wear it. He showed it to me once, and I was childishly jealous. I wanted to wear it, and I worried Maurice until he gave it to me. I had it on under my wedding gown in church when Muriel came. "But, Evelyn—" "She did come. She came again three times and stood beside my bed. It was in the early morning when it was just beginning to be light. Maurice was always asleep and he would not believe it. But I saw her plain—her eyes were so sad and reproachful. The third time she stood with her eyes fixed on the chain that held the locket. It came to me what she wanted and I unchased it and gave it to her. She smiled then and she didn't go out by the door. She just seemed to fade away and was gone. She never came again. I have lost my foolish lenesion of poor, sweet, gentle Muriel, and I am happy now." "Did you tell Maurice about it?" "Yes, I knew he felt some compunction over giving me the locket, and I wanted him to know that Muriel had it back. But he never could believe me. He said I must have dropped it into the fur rug and one of the chambersmails found it." "But, Evelyn, are you quite sure you didn't drop it into the rug?" "Yes, I am sure. I gave it into Mu- rtus's hands. And she looked happy and satisfied. Now I am at peace."

As a student at Tuskegee, Phillips Exeter and Harvard, Matthews won national fame in baseball. And if he had not had other ambitions could have made big money, no doubt, by devoting himself to the game when school days were over. But Mr. Matthews preferred to practice law. Base ball was only an incident in his life. After finishing at Harvard and Boston Universities he set up as an attorney in Boston and soon won great recognition as a lawyer.

Incidentally, however, Mr. Matthews is showing the public another side of his life. The May issue of The Competitor carries a Southern dialect short story from his pen. In "The Knapsack of Moses Jackson", Mr. Matthews, while keeping close to the probable, produces a tale that is probably rich in the elements of surprise, humor, and sustained interest that make short stories so universally popular.

Harry Garson Production, Starring Clara Kimball Young, Contains a Word of Warning To Women. "Hush" is a problem play. It: problem concerns the woman who has slipped from the path of virtue before marriage and it confronted with the consequences of taking her husband all about the affair or backing the secret in her breast. As the problem is worked out in this instance it contains a word of warning to women. Sadh Cowan, the author of the诌讳者, wrote that he thought to pay dearly for her honesty. The husband of the heroine turns out to be a bad and shows his resentment in a series of petty actions. The man he mistakes for her temper that rob him of his chastity. Matters are brought to a stifactory climax, but not until an unbelievable exhibition of human weakness has been proclaimed. The unbeliever Camelyn relief is obtained by holding a woman can act with a new husband, when she is fat, fond and forty. The word of warning sounded by the author to members of her own life is clearly indicated on the title. Chira Kinnibail Young gives a very FILM SHOWS EXT AMONG A Washington, D. C.

Norfolk Loses Again "Home Run" Johnson and a bunch of old Gimets known as the Turbulent Stars struck this bore on Tuesday for a three-game stand with the Norfolk Gimets and proceeded to offer them a large crowd of Gimets were out to protect the Hoops and see them center hitters in food. Manager Johnson in place in 1974, the Gimets in place in 1975, and he acquitted himself, pitching a five-hit game to win. He would have succeeded bad his teammates not have played like a bunch of small-bottles. It was a shame to lose that game, and his colts only had two earned runs to win. R. Jordan started for the Hoops. Chappie's Colts drove him from the mound in the fifth inning. Bradley relieving biny and holding the ball was safe the pre-race of the way. The game was a close one for Norfolk and it seemed as if at last the home team had struck its stride; then, biff, bang, and Norfolk had gone to pieces. What with the baseball plays, and a lustless spirit, Norfolk had a big feature of the game was the biting of center folder Bradley, and the holding of Lewis. Howard, and a showstring catch by the roaring roiling Lewis of a two-bagger. NORFOLK GIANTS Ab. R. H. Po. A. E.

Give the fans a run for their money; the team is not playing 666 ball now. Go out and win, and stop nutting and sulking when you get behind. Get some fighting spirit in you. That infield needs plugging up. A fast man is needed to hold down that "hot corner." Are the Giants a four-inning team? For four or five innings, they play like big leagues after that fast pitchers. There's pitching on Tuesday, backed by a young consistent ball would have won any game consistent ball would have made of ball put up by his teammates would have a game even with Matthias on the mound. Stinging was given his release this week, and joined the Buffalo Stars. We hate to see him go as we have both our second selections player, and when in trim could hold his own with the best of them. We wish him success. Cramp was also handed the pink slip by Owner Barry. There are others that need it too. The handling of the game under the single triangle costume to be working as a factory as the double triangle. The loss of Saturday's game to the Cubans was pretty attainted to faulty uniforms. Weight is excellent on bad and strike, but when he has to run the best box, he comes to house some of his heaviness of judging the plate. Again, give us a little more "pop" and ginger when on the field. Get in the game. Fight. Light until the last man is out. Don't quit so soon as the visiting team gets the lead. If you lose, lose fighting. Let every man be in his box all the time. Stop saluting. POSTOFFICE FORCE FORGETS GAME TO LITTLE STARS The Little Stars are still shining. On Saturday, May 7, they met and defeated the Post Office Force. The game was forfeited by the Office boys, the score being 9-0. The locker for the Little Stars were Brown and Weaver. On Monday the Little Stars moved away with the Yankees, the score being 3-0. Batters: Little Stars, Handy and Weaver; Yankees, Blohm and Brown, Empire, Mann, Weaver; the Yankees, Empire, Mann, Weaver with the Hull Street Stars, the Samuel C. Armstrong School backer; backed out of the engagement, Manner Smith will use his best bet. Hardy and Weaver as batteries, the Little Stars are really playing in big league. Weaver will be the matchmaster; Weaver bids fair to det the matchmaster; mit with some big league team in the future. ROANOKE HIGH SCHOOL, WINS Roumoke, Va.—On Monday the 9th inst., the Harrison High School crossed bats with the Lexington Athletic Club in Lexington. The score was 10-4 in favor of the High School team, and the game was over the home cubs by W. Eggleston and Papa Pitching of Eggleston, the catching of Lawson, and holding of Burrell. The Lexington bats were at the mercy of the big High School team, the song until the game ended. The High School team in tinton form. Games may be booked with the High School team through R. H. Holland manner. 119 Henry street, N. W. In a thrilling and exciting game on the Charleston Giants' diamond between the Giants and West Norfolk Shipbuilders, the Giants won 7-6, tying them for the 56-56. To all appearances it was the West Norfolk team would win a shutout victory over the Giants but the Giants comfortably with the turnovers, only to netted them with the turnovers. The Giants were the superb pitching of the opposing stats. ARE REBUKED FOR SHOWING BAD HOUSING (Continued from page one) again, west after skipping the colored section. Fourth avenue, N. W., between Jefferson street and Park street, N. W., was washed away. Fifth avenue, the citizens, but has been grossly neglected since by colored citizens and yet as bad as it is, it is one of our best residential streets. All other streets practically occupied by our group have been washed away, but have been neither preceded to a great extent nor passable during the rainy season without danger to those traveling such streets, being filled with chug holes and runs, and with a very high obstacle there are no alcohols and curb stones. Swerage Gas, Inc. Then in regards to sewerage, gas, electricity and water: In a large section of our city in which our people live, there is no sewerage system, no water facilities, gas or electricity, no people obtain water from three and four inches deep, and those dangerous unnatural springs and water. It is possible that there are those in authority who in this lightened age, do not realize the dangers that come from these cesspools, death and destruction, through its fifth and distant contigency to all parts of the city? Then the morbidity and mortality rate is high? Housing Facilities Congerning Schools And concerning the schools: This is our greatest and most trying need for out of three schools, there is only one well kept and unanticipated school, Gregory School in East Ranok, is an unanticipated and unanticipated, but is nothing more unanticipated and well located in one of the most dilimited sections of the city. It looks, the walls are broken in it, it is situated in a very low place, so that it can be seen from the hill on the west side and from the roof sank under the building to become stagnant with filth; antiquated stoves are used and fires are built in different rooms and the premises kept by the children in the school houses; poorly ventilated, poor lights; unanticipated and the children have a very limited space for recreation, filled with jagged rocks in streets for their play grounds. This building is by all means be raised and a modern building ected in a larger and more suitable locality. In records to the Gafnahoro School building, the school building, it has long since served as the school with the older portion of the building, with the exception of the brick, is perhaps worse than the Gregory School in short it has the same afflictions the older school has broken walls and partitions like the school, which seemed to have been put there as an emergency and which do not allow pupils to go adequately reeve without disturbing those in the portion is so unsanitary and accounted, that it BIG COLORED EVENT - MAY 30 Norfolk Fair Grounds HORSE RACING - WRESTLING - BICYCLE RACING BASE BALL MUSIC BY EXCELSIOR BRASS AND REED BAND Gates Open Promptly at 10 A.

LAND, OFFICIAL STARTER FOR RACES practically beyond repair; its recreation ground is also limited, being located on a high bluff, so that they are dangerous for children to play, so that they are struck or struck on private property. The pressure on congestion is concerned should be definitely limited to power over our people who live in the West end section, inasmuch as there provided for their section, inasmuch as there provided for their section, and three hundred children who have such a section, so that they get to school; through other sections not accessible to railroads, especially dangerous for the smaller schools, therefore such a building would in a measure relieve the present congestion in our schools. there are those who doubt, that the conditions exist as we have related these new conditions anxiously await the opportunity to show them. **Conditions Intolerable** Therefore, it is the consensus of our people, who are law-abiding citizens, tax payers, that their conditions, which have become almost intolerable, which have been properly looked into and remedied, will do more to bring about a better understanding and a more satisfied citizenship among the people of the great City of Ramokue. And it is our sincere appreciation for the mutual invitation to appear and participate in the invitation to appear and participate in a discussion, which is so vital to the peace of happiness of our city and that we recognize,友爱地 desire on the part of the white citizen, the authority of the City of Ramokue for mutual friendship and a continued spirit of friendliness and that we consider it a peculiar advance in our vital to our group. This is also used for simple and plain justice as it may be used within the jurisdiction of those who may be in authority. Another great need is a Play Ground, an recreation center, for our boys and girls, who must use the public streets, or tropees on public streets, and we hope that condition will soon be remedied.
