GROWING, THANK YOU! CALDWELL FACES DEATH FEARLESSL Returned From Overseas, Sergeant Who Shot and Killed Street Car Conductor in Altercation Over "Jim Crow" Seat Pays Penalty On Scaffold—Had Been Awarded Croix de Guerre for Bravery in Action. PRESIDENT ASKED STAY OF EXECUTION Efforts for Commutation of Sentence to Life Imprisonment Failing, Condemned Man Expresses Sorrow for Deed—Goes to Execution With Head Erect and Meets Death With a Smile. ANNISTON, Ala., Aug. 12.—Walking to his death with firm step and head up, Edgar Caldwell, former army sergeant, convicted of the murder of Cecil Linton, December 5, 1918, in an altercation that arose over "Jim Crow" seats in a street car of which Linton was conductor, was hanged last Friday, July 30, at 12 o'clock noon. The case, since it was first brought before the minds of the public, nearly two years ago, has proved one of the most interesting ever tried in the south. Again and again, efforts had been made to have the sentence commuted to life imprisonment, the case traveling from the state courts to the supreme courts and then to President Wilson. Sergeant Caldwell had been awarded the Croix de Guerre for bravery in action in France. Up until Thursday eyvening, it was hoped that his sentence would be commuted, but when the statement of Governor Kilby of Alabama wiped away the last hope, Caldwell withstood the blow calmly and stated that his fortitude came from God, who he said had forgiven him. Shows Remarkable Courage. Caldwell retained remarkable courage until the end. He was permitted to talk to the crowd of 2,500 persons who had assembled before the jail shortly before his death. He spoke 45 minutes, delivering an address which brought tears from many of his hearers. There were many women among his hearers. Warns Against Liquor The crowd listened mutely to admonitions by Caldwell to all people to lead higher lives. He appealed especially to young men and boys to avoid liquor habits, and appealed to women to live more uprightly. When his address was concluded, Caldwell was carried inside the jail, where Captain Holder of the Salvation Army held prayer with him. He bade his attorney, Charles D. Kline, good byy, declaring that the lawyer had fought a good fight and had done his utmost, and closing with "God bless you" was then carried into the canvas enclosure where the scaffold was erected. Shakes Hands With Mrs. Linton On the way out he stooped down to take the hands of the little son of the dead conductor, speaking kindly to him of his sorrow for the murder of the boy's father. He shook hands with the little wife of Linton, who had come here from Clay county for the execution. With her also was a baby born since the murder of Linton. They witnessed the execution inside the enclosure. It was said that Mrs. Linton had made the black death mask which was placed over Caldwell's head on the scaffold. Goes to Death With Smile Caldwell went to his death with a firm step and a smile. About 200 people were admitted to the inclosure, all of whom were deeply impressed by the tortitude of Caldwell. A few minutes before 12 o'clock the loop was adjusted about his neck and the trap was sprung. The breaking of his neck could be heard a block away. Crowds of people from the country districts and nearby towns came here to witness the hanging. On the tops of buildings from which the jail was visible, many men and boys perched to get a view of the hanging. Afterwards the streets appeared like a circus day. Body Taken to Undertaker Caldwell's body was taken to a local undertaker following the hanging. His wife, who lives in Birmingham, was not present at the hanging, but it was at her order that he undertaker took charge of the body, preparing it for regular burial.

PROMINENT PHYSICIAN DIES Dr. William Myron Gordon Passes Away Thursday, August 5, From Heart Failure—Interred in Forest; Lawn Cemetery Sunday. Dr. Wm. M. Gordon, a prominent and successful physician of Omaha, died suddenly of heart failure Thursday morning, August 5, at 10:30. He was interred in Forest Lawn cemetery Sunday, August 8, at 4 p. m. Rev. W. C. Williams conducted the last religious rites over the remains. M. B. B. Dr. Gordon was a member of the Knights of Tabor, Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias and United Brothers of Friendship, all of whom had parts in the funeral ceremonies. Several hundred witnessed the funeral, it being the largest for several years in this city among colored people. Taborean hall, in which the services were held, did not begin to accommodate the crowds which sought admission. Dr. William Myron Gordon was born in Shelbyville, Kyr., October 20, 1865. He received his academic training in the public schools of Kentucky and later went to Kansas City, where he married Miss Maggie E. Rainey of Leavenworth, February 9, 1888, to whom were born 12 children, 10 of whom died. He leaves a widow, Mrs. Maggie Elizabeth Rainey-Gordon, and two children, Clarence Raymond, aged 26, and Merriam, aged 24. Dr. Gordon came to Omaha in May, 1892, and worked at the Creighton Medical College, where he later pursued a course in medicine, graduating from same in 1901. He has been practicing in this city ever since. He built up a very wide practice and acquired good property holdings. He opened his drug store at 2120 North Twenty-fourth street, August 4, 1915, and died exactly seven years thereafter. The citizens of Omaha greatly feel the loss of such a successful professional and business man as Dr. Gordon. OMAHA, NEBRASKA, AUGUST 12, 1920 MOVEMENT FOR INTERNA TIONAL BLACK REPUBLIC Thirty Day Convention Opens With an Attendance of 20,000 Persons of Color in Madison Square Garden, New York.—Delegates Present From Several Countries.—"Africa Free From Strait of Gibraltar to Cape of Good Hope.—A Negro Republic for the Negro, by the Negro, and of the Negro," Is Slogan and Aim of The Universal Negro Improvement Association. MARCUS GARVEY, PRESIDENT OF ASSOCIATION, PLANS WORLD WIDE ORGANIZATION OF RACE "What Is Good for the White Man of This Age Is Also Good for the Negro. They As a Race Claim Freedom and the Right to Establish a Democracy," Declares Originator of Great Movement. NEW YORK, Aug. 12.—A thirty-day convention to take up the problems of the Negro race opened Monday night. August 2. in Madison Square Garden, where 20,000 Negroes made the big meeting place rock when they yelled for an Africa free from the Strait of Gibraltar to the Cape of Good Hope—an immense Negro republic of the Negro, by the Negro and for the Negro. The 20,000 were delegates and friends of delegates to the convention. For more than two hours they were worked up to a high pitch of enthusiasm by a quartet, soloists and a band. Then Marcus Garvey, President General of the Universal Negro Ibprovement Association and leader in the movement to free Africa, stepped to the platform, clad in cap and gown of purple, green and gold. He received an ovation. Five minutes passed before he could raise his voice. When he did speak it was to announce that he had sent a telegram of greeting to Eamonn de Valera, "President of the Irish Republic." The message read: Twenty-five thousand Negro delegates assembled in Madison Square Garden in mass meeting, representing 400,000,000 Negroes of the world, send you greetings as president of the Irish Republic. Please accept sympathy of the Negroes of the world for your cause. We believe Ireland should be free even as Africa shall be free for the Negroes of the world. Keep up the fight for a free Ireland. Determined to Be Free. The message was answered by applause equal to that which shook the big building recently when Archbishop Mannix voiced approval of Ireland's cause. "We are the descendants of a suffering people," Garvey began. "We are the descendants of a people determined to suffer no longer. Our forefathers suffered many years on both hemispheres, many years of abuse from an alien race. "It was claimed that the black man win. "We will begin by framing a bill of rights of the Negro race with a constitution to guide the life and destiny of the 400,000,000. The Constitution of the United States means that every white American would sed his blood to defend that Constitution. The constitution of the Negro race will mean that every Negro will shed his blood to defend his constitution. "If Europe is for the Europeans then Africa shall be for the black peoples of the world. We say it; we mean it." Will Strike fr Freedom. "The world is undergoing a reorganization and in this reorganization the Negroes shall do no less than strike for freedom.

Enrollment Is Invited. The Colored Commercial Club of Omaha, which was organized some months ago has secured rooms at Columbia Hall, 2420 Lake Street, which are open daily and are in charge of Mrs. Grace Hutton, assistant commissioner. As the first of the activities of the Commercial Club, of which E. W. Pryor is president, and which seeks to be of service to the community, is the establishment of a free labor information bureau. Through this agency the club seeks to have a complete registry of the occupations of all our people in the city, so that whenever necessary it may assist them in finding suitable employment. All our people are therefore invited to go to the Commercial Club rooms and register their names, occupations and references. The advantage of this is quite apparent. When business houses or others are looking for help and make their wants known to this bureau which they are being requested to do, the bureau will be in a position to know from its register whether it has a man or woman available for the work desired. INTENSIVE TRAINING SCHOOL FOR DOCTORS General City Hospital Provides Intensive Advanced Courses in Pathology and Bacteriology for all Doctors Who Desire to Enroll. Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 12. The Hospital and Health Board of Kansas City has granted permission to the Colored Division of the General Hospital to establish, free of charge, an intensive training school in pathology and bacteriology to all Negro physicians in the country for one month, beginning September 1, 1920. This is the first time such an offer has been made by any institution in this country. The board has spent several thousand dollars in equipping the laboratory to make this work the most beneficial to the physicians from a practical standpoint. Several hours during the day will be devoted to bed-side clinics covering the same line of diseases dealt with in the laboratory; dealing with all phases of blood chemistry; preparation and administering of vaccines, and the latest technic in autotherapy. Specialists from different portions of the country will appear before the clinics, and in addition to this course, will be given a special course in municipal hygiene, including the protection and care of the milk supply, water supply, and the handling of the garbage system and the control of quarantines of all descriptions with which a municipality is confronted, whether it be plague or scarlet fever, smallpox or typhoid fever. A coterie of assistants and specialists under the supervision of Dr. Wm. J. Thompkins, who is superintendent of the hospital, will aid in making this course what the physicians in this country most need. It is the purpose of the institution to help those men of the profession who desire additional scientific and technical knowledge so essential to deriving at a positive diagnosis in the handling of their cases, thereby rendering higher efficiency in the work with an improved standing of the profession generally. This, in brief, has become the mission of the Colored Division of the General Hospital of Kansas City, Mo. DETAILED TO TUSKEEE Washington, D. C., Aug. 12.—Lieut. Col. Benjamin O.

KATE RICHARDS O'HARA EXPRESSES GRATITUDE Bears Testimony to Sympathetic Hearts of Fellow Prisoners Who Brooked Punishment for Helping Her in Illness—Fought for Better Conditions. PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 12.—After spending fourteen months in the Jefferson federal prison, for her political ideals, Mrs. Kate Richards O'Hara (Mrs. Kate Richards O'Hara was pardoned by President Wilson), delivered a most interesting talk in the overcrowded Labor Lyyceum Friday evening, July 30. When the chairman announced her name, a semi-gray-haired, slim woman was seen to arise. At once a storm of cheers and applause, seldom seen or heard, broke out and lasted many moments. Soon the clear, delicate tones of Mrs. O'Hara were heard. "My dear, beloved friends," she began, "again I am with you after a period of two years. It has been that long since I was in your city of Brotherly Love, where the freedom of these United States was proclaimed. In the years I have been away from you I was one of the many prisoners in the largest political prison, which has become the home of many political prisoners. There I spent fourteen long months, for which I am not sorry nor do I regret." Fought for Better Conditions Fought for Better Conditions. "From the moment I set foot in the prison, my life became a fight for better conditions and humane treatment for the prisoners. At each step I took I was surprised that conditions, such as were, should prevail and endanger human lives. I could not imagine that such unsightly and unbelievable conditions existed in the land my great-grandfather came to for protection and liberty. Was this the kind of protection that my father had fought and sacrificed himself for? I could not believe it, and at once bent my efforts toward rectifying this state of affairs. "For instance, as soon as I came in the prison, I was called to take a bath. I was astonished to see a small filthy bathroom from which there just came out an Indian who had spent nine years of her life and who was afflicted with that horrible sickness, syphilis. Her whole body was covered with seabs and the ravages of that most terrible disease known to mandkind. The water in the tub was filled with dirt from her bath, and in this tub I was told to wash myself. I naturally refused and thanked the matron for her kindness, but she insisted. This meant contact with that contagious disease. Seeing that my protests were to no avail, I consented, and made as if to go in the tub, but at he same time I pulled the plug and let out the water. This peeved my friends (?) and they became angry. Then it was I began my campaign to have shower baths installed where sick and well could bathe and eliminate the danger of contact. I won the fight, and the baths were installed. "Naturally, I could not sit and eat for nothing. I had to become a part of an electric sewing machine, with a stipulated amount of work to turn out each day, the same as all criminal prisoners. In this place, among the criminal outlaws, I found many kind, good, and delicate souls. Colored Girl Shows Kindness. "One day I felt sick and could not turn out my allotment of work for the day. The warden came in, and seeing this, spoke to me in harsh tones and threatened me with solitary confinement. The next day I was no better, and a colored girl (who had been in for five years) could not stand to see me treated in such a cruel way, nor bear the idea of my being in solitary confinement, came over to my machine and took fifteen unfinished garments from there and substituted fifteen of her's that were finished. The warden came in and gave her the solitary confinement. Later she told me that what she suffered was to her enjoyment because she went through it for me. I decided at once that this Negro had a whiter heart than many of our officials in the justice department. Another Kind Act. "A second and just as noble in (Continued on Page Four.)

Now that Mr. Cox has spoken, we are-giving our candid opinion of the merits and de- merits of the men as men and their production as a document to be di- gested by the people. What we say, therefore, will be without bias or per- sonal favor to either party or can- didate. We had waited with great interest to hear what Mr. Cox had to say, for it was by this expression that the nation was able to get a line on the democratic nominee as an indepen- dent or a Wilsonized candidate. We do not believe a single person that read his speech is in the slightest doubt that Mr. Cox is a very close adherent of the Wilson policy. We were frankly disappointed in Mr. Cox. We had looked for a more indepen- dent stand, notwithstanding the com- mon rumor after his Sunday confer- ence with the president that he had swallowed head and tail the Wilson- ian international doctrine. Mr. Cox’s production is a long, weird and wandering document. It contains at least 10,000 words, di- vided into 42 major and 11 minor heads. As near as we have been able to figure, three-fourths of it is assid- ously devoted to the defense of the league of nations just as it was brought from Europe by Mr. Wilson. ‘The remaining one-fourth is as near- ly as we can describe it, devoted to a vehement excoriation of the senate for rejecting the pact. He would first ratify the pact as it stands, One would be easily smothered in beau- tiful and attractive promises to undo what has been done by what he chooses to call a republican congress. He is very indirect. In plain, it is a wonderful effort to artificially paste beautiful roses over a perfectly bare shrub to hide its ugliness. Like the present incumbent, he elects to emit such inveetives at his opponents as “{niquitous senatorial cabal,” despic- able job of politics,” and “Brazen dis- honor,” in condemning the senators who differed in opinion with the pres- ident.

We cannot justify the governor in condemning those senators, both democratic and republican, who de- clined their assent to the league. We are convinced that they acted in the best interest of their country. VICTIM OF JIM CROWISM. 5. CALDWELL has died, a vietim of the Jim Crow car laws of the South. He was a soldier of good reputation, who had served his country overseas. Upon his re- turn to his home in Anniston, Ala, an altercation arose between him and ee oe re ae The conductor sought to evict him. A fight ensued in which Caldwell killed Linton. That there were ex- tenuating circumstances in Caldwell’s case, is clear from the fact that in- fluential persons pleaded for clem- ency, and please remember; that this was in the very heart of the South, where it is not the custom to either show or plead for mercy for 2 black- man who kills a white man under any circumstances. Caldwell’s case was even brought to the attention of Pres- ident Wilson. All efforts to save Caldwell’s life proved unavailing. He went to the scaffold and paid the pen- alty of his crime. He met his doom like a man. He died, we repeat, a victim of the Jim Crow car laws of the South. Some will call Edgar Caldwell foolish because he did not quietly submit to the customs of the section in which he was. Those who so reason, overlook the fact that a man who has risked his life on the battlefield for his country cannot tamely submit to conditions which rob him of his rights of manhood. This is a fact which America must square- ly face in the case of the returned overseas soldier who has come back with a new sense of manhood and ‘personal rights. Linton died because she was trying to enforce discrimina- ‘tory practices of his section, and Caldwell died because he rebelled fabaicet: thant: BRIGHTEN UP YOUR MIND Beginning with next week's issue, this paper will conduct an intelligence contest which will consist of 100 ques- tions the same to appear in 10 equal installments.

It is 1,500 miles from New York city. If the weather is good the trip is usually made in five days. Porto Rico is cénsidered the most beautiful of all the West India islands. It is exceedingly striking and picturesque to the eye. Your first vision of Porto Rico reminds you of your childhood’s ideas of fairlyland. Nature here offers an aspect quite strange and enchanting, clothed inthe rich and splendid vesture of the most luxuriant vegetation. The whole isiand has the apepar- ance of « continued chain of human habitations, intermixed with fields of ‘sugar cane, groves of plantains, plan- tations of tobacco, coffee and fruits of all kinds, with here and there towns and villages peeping between ‘the hills. Clumps of palm trees are scattered over the plains, ornamenting by their ‘graceful foliage the sides of the lit- tle hills, which rise on the valleys like gentle waves on the ocean. Here and there a mountain, blue in the distance, seem to fade into the clouds. The mountains have not the rocky and precipitous surface which render the mountains of other countries sterile or inaccessible. All of the mountains here are susceptible of cultivation to their tops. El Yeonque, the highest point, can easily be reached in a day. This peak can be seen at a distance of 68 miles at sea. Valleys and tableland abound, little houses, coffee plants, groves of plan- tains and plots of tobacco are every- where visible. You can see acres and acres of tobacco covered with white cheese cloth, to secure a finer grade of tobacco on the side of the moun- tains, and the white elcth gives it the appearance of snow in the distance. North and south of the ridge of mountains and along the coast are the fields of sugar cane, which pro- duce the principal wealth of the is- land. These valleys are most beauti- ful to be seen. Here you see the large groves of cocoanut and royal palms standing like proud Indian princes. The orange trees are covered with their golden fruit. The luxuriant fields of sugar cane and tobacco wav- ing in the distance with the beautiful wild flowers and brightly painted houses, the deep blue restless sea in the distance, forms a picture, once seen, never forgotten. Porto Rico has an excellent system of roads. In 1824, the Spanish gov- ernment began the opening and con- |solidating of roads, and constructing of bridges. These roads were con- /sructed on a substantial plan, the center being filled with gravel and |stones, well cemented. ‘The convex |form is well adapted to preserve them ‘from destruction caused by the heavy | rains. Over 1,000 miles are now built and motoring is unexcelled anywhere. ‘The climate of Porto Rico is ideal. ‘Here you find eternal spring. The 'sun is always hot, yet there is always ; cool breeze blowing and the nights are most delightful. The temperature ss never excessive. The average in [winter is 75 degrees and in summer 81 degrees. During the past 17 years ‘there was only a total of 120 days ‘of 90 degrees or over. During the ‘summer months it rains quite often, but the sun is shining always and you ‘really enjoy the gentle rains. During two years I only remember having ‘seen two partly cloudy days.

IN MEMORIAM William Gordon, M.D., born October 20, 1864. Died August 5, 1920. It has been said "The young may die, but the old must"; that earths highest station ends in "Here he lies" and "dust to dust" concludes her noblest song. The poet used the expression "Our life is a dream, our time, as a stream, glides swiftly along." William Gordon was engaged in the active practice of medicine until his death. He laid aside the labors and burdens of his life on the 5th day of August, 1920. He had arrived at the point in life where his real development had shaped itself. His life gave evidence that he had knowledge of and practiced the great virtues conducive to a useful and efficient activity. His life was a success; he accomplished good in a quiet and gentlemanly manner. Early in life he resolved to be true to himself, his parents, his profession and his family. A warm-hearted man, alive to his duties and responsibilities; not perfect, for no man is, but a sterling manhood worthy of our profound honor and respect and from his intimate relation with and faithful discharge of duty to the Negro Medical Dental and Pharmaceutical association of Nebraska is justly entitled to be upon our honor roll. Accordingly, as we have hereinbefore expressed our opinion, let us by voice cause to be spread upon the records of this association this brief statement of recognition of a comrade in thoughts and purposes. Respectfully, NEGRO MEDICAL, DENTAL AND PHARMACEUTICAL ASSOCIATION OF NEBRASKA. A. G. Edwards, Pres., Cralg Morris, D.D.S., Secy. A. B. Madison, M.D., Memorial Committee. CARD OF THANKS Mrs. Davis wishes to thank her many friends for kindness shown during the illness and death of her mother. Mrs. Alice B. Rodgers. CARD OF THANKS We desire to express our deep appreciation for the kind expressions of sympathy given by our many friends in the recent loss of our beloved husband, father and brother, and for their many beautiful floral offerings. We especially desire to thank the Knights of Tabor, the Keystone Lodge No. 4 of K. of P., Paladium Light of the West, Loyal Lodge No. 289, Mary Dickerson Tabernacle, Golden Sheaf Tabernacle, Mt.

MAGGIE E. GORDON. MISS MIRRIAM GORDON. CLARENCE GORDON. MRS. MATTE PENN. MOVEMENT FOR BLACK REPUBLIC (Continued from page 1.) "Wherever I go, whether it be to France, Germany, England or Spain, I find that I am told that this is a white man's country and that there is no room for a nigger. The other races ave countries of their own and it is time for the 400,000,000 Negroes to claim Africa for themselves." In the course of his denunciation of the various nations having African colonies Garvey mentioned Belgium several times and the name of that nation was hissed each time. It was plained that this was because the Negro would never forget the reign of terror of the Negro caused by Leopold II in the Belgian Congo. When Garvey finished his address a group of leaders gathered about him to congratulate him. The Rev. Dr. Eason. Chaplain General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, the next speaker said he endorsed the doctrine of expulsion expounded by his chief, declaring that Africans would one day realize the fondest desire of their hearts. "These were the kind of good-hearted souls I found out there among the outlaws. These are the reasons I became convinced that they were martyrs of the present sysytem and not naturally bad." To Be Serf No Longer. "We shall ask, demand and expect of the world a free Africa," he declared. "The black man has been a serf, a tool, a slave and a peon for all the world, and has been regarded as less than a man. That day he ceased During later years he has shown the world that he is capable of standing by himself." Garvey had referred to the possibility of another great war, this with the peoples of the Orient ranged against those of the Occident. When Asia drew the sword, Garvey said, the time would be ripe to draw the sword for Africa. "We have decided because of our numerical strength and religious nature, that we are now able to teach the world the truth of the doctrine of do unto others as you would they should do unto you," concluded Dr. Eason. Garvey, a Jamaican, is directing the convention, and the association he heads owns the Black Star Line which operates three vessels. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is said to have a membership of more than 1,000,000. An African Prince, THE MONITOR official delegates have reported from all over the United States, Canada, Central America and the West Indies.

SHOWN KINDNESS BY COLORED PRISONERS (Continued from page 1.) stance of human kindness, I witnessed in the tailoring department of the prison. I had been waging a warfare for better ventilations. After this betterment had been installed, it happened that the corner where my machine was, nothing had been done. After awhile I began to feel weak and sick, and another colored girl having noticed my condition, came over to me and asked that I change places with her. I thanked her for her kindness, but refused. But she would not hear me, saying: "I will not leave until you change places with me." I then asked why she should risk her life for mine when I might be able to get better air for myself? I was surprised when she replied: 'My dear Mrs. Kate, you think I do not know how important your life is for the people at large who are impatient to see you free. What is my life in comparison to yours? Who will care whether I live or die? The world or its people will not know or hear from me. You are not a usual prisoner. I know not why they torture you here. Your death will be a great loss to your friends and the masses. My death means nothing. No! Mrs. Kate, you must live.' This she said with that positive voice that showed it was not mere flattery, but was spoken from the heart. Six room house for sale, all modern. Price $2,850; $500 down, balance $30 per month.
