Gen. George Barnett, former commandant of the marine corps, that the force had been guilty of "practically indiscriminate killing" of Haitians. After a careful survey, the court, presided over by Rear Admiral Henry T. Mayo, found General Barnett's charges were "ill-considered, regrettable and thoroughly unwarranted reflections" on the work of the marine corps in Haiti, adding that the corps had performed difficult, dangerous and delicate duty worthy of the highest commendation. The marines virtually were given a clean bill by the court, which declined to recommend trial by court-martial of Freeman Lang of Los Angeles and Doras Williams of Birmingham, Ala., charged by native witnesses with the murder of Haitians. Indeed, the Lang and Williams cases were not mentioned. In all "isolated" cases of unjustifiable conduct by marines, the court found disciplinary action had been (By the Associated Negro Press) WINSTON-SALEM, N.

Kyles of the colored Methodist Episcopal church, now a resident of St. Louis, but owner of considerable property in this city and section, have procured a site and are now having plans prepared for the building. Architect Gilbert C. Humphries expects to complete the plans in the next few days, after which the preliminaries to construction will be worked out. KENTUCKY GIRL CHARGES NEGRO WITH ASSAULT COMMITTED BY LOVER LEXINGTON, Ky., Dec. 23.—While Miss Fannie Brasher, night telephone operator at Middlesboro, Ky., was talking on the wire after midnight, November 29, to a girl operator at Pineville, twenty miles away, she whispered: "Some one's breaking into the office." The Pineville girl responded: "Connect me with your police station." As the connection was made the Pineville girl heard Miss Brasher scream. The station is a block from the telephone office, and when officers reached the place Miss Brasher was found on the floor unconscious with a gash in her head. Held tightly between her teeth were many stands of red hair. When Miss Brasher recovered her senses she declared a Negro had attacked her. After an all-day search proved futile the girl's attention was called to the red hair she had in her mouth. She admitted then that James Thompson, a sweetheart, she had filleted, had committed the assault, after telling her he intended to kill her.

The findings as made public were approved by Secretary Daniels and Maj. Gen. A. Lejeune, commandant of the marine corps. "The court finds two unjustifiable homicides have been committed, one each by two of the personnel of the United States naval service which has served in Haiti since July 28, 1915, and that 16 other serious acts of violence have been perpetrated against citizens of Haiti by individuals of such personnel. "The court finds that these offenses were all isolated acts of individuals and that in every case the responsible party was duly brought to trial, convicted and sentenced. "The court has found no evidence of the commission of any other unjustifiable acts of oppression or of violence against any of the citizens of Haiti or unjustifiable damage or destruction of their property caused by any of the personnel in question. "In view of the fact that the only justifiable acts found to have been committed are those wherein disciplinary action has been taken and where no further proceedings could be had in the matter, the court has not deemed it necessary to report further as to responsibility." COOKS GET $1.50, LIVE PORT AU PRINCE, Dec. 23.—There is no high labor market in Haiti. The man working by the day gets one gourde, which is 20 cents, and sometimes a gourde and a half. Cooks are to be had without advertising. Most of them earn $1.50 a week, and in addition get 6 cents a day on which to feed themselves and their flock. You do not have to include car fare in the weekly wage down here. At some points in the interior wages for cooks are even lower. Many of them live in mahogany houses, at that. Haiti's population is estimated at around 2,500,000. Ninety-seven per cent of these people are classed as illiterate, which may account for the size of the pay envelope. LEILA WILSON SEEKS NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-Mrs. Lella Walker Wilson of Irvington-on-the-Hudson, who inherited the bulk of a $1,000,000 estate from her mother, Mme. C. J. Walker, reputed to have been the wealthiest woman in the country at the time of her death in May, 1919, has applied to life insurance companies for policies aggregating $300,000. Mme. Walker started her meteoric rise in 1907, when with $2 and a formula perfected through much study, she started the manufacture of products which afterwards made her famous. When she died she was proprietor of the Mme. Walker Beauty Corporation, Indianapolis, and of hairdressing parlers throughout the country. She left a $250,000 home, Villa Lewaro, at Irvington, N.Y., to her daughter. She gave liberally to all purposes in aid of the race. CENSUS GIVES CHICAGO LARGE COLORED POPULATION WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.—The colored population of Chicago increased 65,491 in the last decade and now is 109,594, the census bureau has announced. The percentage of increase was 148.5. The total white population is 2,589,104, an increase of 450,047, or 21 per cent, and all others numbered 3,007. OMAHA. NEBRASKA.

DULUTH, Minn., Dec. 23.—Five circus employees held since last June in connection with the alleged assault on a young white girl were released late last Friday when their cases were dismissed on motion of the county attorney. Three Negroes were lynched as a result of the alleged assault and the prosecutor declared this had "removed" material witnesses in the cases pending without whose evidence he could not hope for convictions. JOHN C. DANCY'S WIDOW WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.—The will of John C. Dancy, former recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia, was filed for probate last week. Its brief provisions were an annuity of $1,500 for life to the widow, Mrs. Florence Dancy, and contributions of $100 each to the Zion A. M. E. church and Livingston College of Salisbury, N. C. Mrs. Dancy was also devised two premises in Washington, and a daughter, Lillian, is to receive an annuity of $50 monthly and a premise in the northwest part of Washington. Real estate was devised to a son Joseph, and John Dancy, the other son, is to receive a piece of property in the northwest part of the city. A bequest of $500 was made to the sister, Mrs. Ella E. Boyd; and $100 to another sister, Martha Dancy. ORGANIZE STORY (By the Associated Negro Press) HARRISBURG, Pa., Dec. 23.—Mrs. Harry G.

Recently, Dr. Thompkins said, twelve cases were received within twenty-four hours. Drinks concocted to revive the banned intoxicants, he said, cause the prevalence of violent insanity. "Fresh corn whiskey is one of the most dangerous beverages," said the doctor. "When drunk after recent distillation, the corn product contains unneutralized fusel oils which causes insanity if taken frequently." PROBABLY ASHAMED OF THEIR INEFFICIENCY Colored Women Ask Permission to Attend Federation as Spectators to Learn From White Women How to Organize and Conduct Meetings—Request Denied. (By the Associated Negro Press) ALEXANDRIA, La., Dec. 23.—One of the interesting incidents of the convention of the State Federation of Women's Clubs of Louisiana, held here, will not form part of the records of that organization. This incident was the fight over the question of allowing a committee of Negro women, contemplating organizing a women's club, to attend one of the sessions of Federated Women's Clubs to "see how the women conduct a convention." The request to allow a committee of women to occupy seats in the rear of the hall as spectators, came from a number of our women of Alexandria. The question was put up to the council of the Federated Women's Clubs, composed of elected officers and state presidents. The council was about evenly divided on the question, and when the "yea" and "nay" vote was taken it was believed the question had carried favorably to the Negroes. Those opposing the entrance into the convention hall forced an immediate adjournment, and hurried consultations ensued. Meanwhile someone notified the committee of women they could enter the hall. After they entered it they were told that a mistake had been made, and that while the council had passed on the question, the general body had not ratified it. The women left the hall and when the question was put before the general body, the question was defeated by a vote of two to one. The motion to expunge the record of the proceedings on the question from the books of the organization was carried unanimously. According to prominent members of the Federated Women's Clubs who opposed the entrance of the women into the convention hall, an organizer of the Federation of Eastern Clubs, numbering about 6,000 Negro women members, is in Alexandria, organizing women into clubs.

BURNED IN PECULIAR WAY Gasoline Spilled on Road and Accidentally Lighted Causes Injuries. Edward McPartland of 32 Park street, Stoneham, Pa., is at the Clinton hospital as the result of a peculiar accident on the Sterling road near Lancaster. McPartland and four companions, all employed on road construction work near here, were returning in a truck from a dance at Clinton, and were going to their homes in Sterling when the truck overturned near Four Ponds. In the back of the truck, which was traveling slowly at the time of the accident, was a large can of gasoline. It was thrown onto the highway, sprang a leak and the gasoline reached to where McPartland lay unconscious.

MEMBER OF MICRO PRESS FIRST IN SERVICE CHRISTMAS is the festival of good will. The very atmosphere seems surcharged with a spirit of kindliness and goodfellowship as this joyous and sacred season rolls around each year. The season manifests a subtle and potent alchemy which has a softening and enriching influence upon every human heart. Harshness and gripping avarice and selfishness, like jangling bells all out of tune, strike stridently discordant notes with the spirit of Christmastide. It is indeed the season of goodwill. And the spirit of goodwill, regnant even in the hearts of those who may not be willing to accept the theological truth or doctrine which the festival attests, is evidence of the truth of that very Christian tenet, "Emmanuel," God with us. Christmas tide proclaims the truth that "for us men and for our salvation" Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, came down from Heaven and was Incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary, and became man. A tremendous, awe-inspiring, love-compelling mystery. Efforts to explain it fail. The Fact remains undisputed. "Jesus Christ, our Saviour was born on Christmas Day." God gave His great Gift of Love to the world; showing thereby His goodwill to the world. Therefore the angels sang the song which reechoes in the hearts of men today "Glory to God in the highest and on earth, peace to men of goodwill." It matters little that the world has not yet fully accepted the Gift. It has been given and slowly as the ages run towards the silent river of Eternity the influence of that Wondrous Gift is sweetening the lives of the human race and the spirit of goodwill which manifests itself each Christmastide is the earnest of that coming time when the whole world will give back the song which now the angels sing. May Christmas bring its richest blessings to all mankind. May the spirit of the Christ Child enter into the hearts of men everywhere that they may prove themselves worthy of the love that brought the Son of God from heaven to dwell among men on earth that earth might become a befitting dwelling place for the sons of men. THE other day we were in one of the large department stores and happened upon the manager whom we have known for many years. Always cordial and pleasant he engaged us in conversation in the course of which he said, "We have a good many of your people employed here and they average up with the rest of our employees." "We replied, "Of course, they do; the more you learn about us, the more you will realize that we are just people." "Just people," he reeched. "You are right. After all, we are all made out of the same kind of clay. aren't we? Just people." This is worth remembering when we are wont to think of the foibles and weaknesses of mankind. WHITEWASHED, AS EXPECTED No one has been disappointed in the report of Secretary Daniels' committee which investigated the charges against the marines in Haiti. It was a foregone conclusion that such a committee would administer a most liberal cost of whitewash. The application of the coat is thicker than was anticipated. The charges should not be permitted to drop. There should be a thorough and rigid investigation by a disinterested congressional committee who are interested in nothing but the truth. The American people will not stand for banditry upon the part of their representatives even in Haiti. General Barnett and independent investigators like Seligman of The Nation, James Weldon Johnson and others are not CHRISTMAS JUST PEOPLE given to making charges in so grave a matter as this which are "ill-considered, regrettable and thoroughly unwarranted reflections" on the work of the marine corps in Haiti. AMERICANS OR ALIENS? THE question that the United States has got to face and answer honestly and squarely is this: "Are 'Negroes' Americans or aliens?" This is not an academic, but a vital, practical question. It lies at the very foundation of the well-being and stability of this republic. Until this question is answered, honestly, unequivocally and fairly, there will be friction between two large groups of the population of this nation. If this government be, as it is loudly proclaimed to be, a democracy, then there cannot be two grades of citizens; one entitled to full rights and the other to limited or partial citizenship rights. As matters exist today, there are nearly fifteen million who are restricted in the enjoyment of their rights as American citizens. They are regarded as a thing apart, to be separated from other American citizens, to be discriminated against in public places, conveyances and public carriers, and as to the rights of domicile. This group growing in wealth in culture, in self-respect, cannot and will not be satisfied with anything less than the full rights of American citizenship. So the United States has got to face the question as to whether people of color who reside within her territory, obey her laws and meet every requirement demanded of them are Americans or aliens. THE MONITOR AND THE NEW ERA THERE seems to be a determined effort upon the part of some people or group of people to stir up a fight between The Monitor and The New Era. When The New Era was started it was an impression among some people that it was started to run The Monitor out of business. Whether this impression was or was not justified, the present editor of The New Era does not know; but he wishes to state now and emphatically that no fight shall be inaugurated as long as it is his privilege to edit these columns. There is already too much division among the colored people of Omaha to invite more. From the inception of this paper until today the one slogan has been "Unity!" and for it to start a campaign against the only other colored paper of this community would be a contradiction of the very philosophy to which it holds. Our race cannot afford to be divided. NEILSONIA SKIN OINTMENT A 30-minute Instant Greaseless Bleach. An ointment that makes the skin several shades lighter in stantly.

If The Monitor has faults, it is only because the men publishing it are human. The New Era, too, has its faults and these rest upon the same human foundation. The editor who can please everybody is only the editor who reposes in a handsome casket and is unable to make any further use of his pen. What Omaha colored people need is unity and there can be and shall be no quarrel upon the part of The New Era with any paper or organization which has unity for an ideal. The various methods and opinions of what should be the proper course for affecting unity may differ, but even different paths may reach the same end. Today, as never before, the race in Omaha needs to be cemented rather than disorganized and it shall be the purpose of this paper to aid in this work rather than to hinder.—The New Era, Dec. 18, 1920. The Monitor fully reciprocates the sentiments expressed by our local contemporary, The New Era, in the above editorial. "AMERICAN BANDITRY IN HAITI" This is the title of a scathing edi torial in the December issue of "Jim Jam Jems," a snappy monthly published at Bismarck, So. Dak. Those seeking light on the Haitian situation should secure the magazine and read this article. They will find it fearless and illuminating. SNYCOPATED SPASMS PROHIBITION BOOZE WE fought prohibition, and the more we see of it the happier we are in the fact that we did fight it. We knew as surely as we know that the furnace hogs coal that prohibition would introduce prohibition booze and it has. It is here and here strong. Folks who never thought of drinking booze in the world are drinking it now. Only the other day a woman was jugged in Baltimore and she told the judge that it was honorable to get drunk these days. But don't believe it. Prohibition booze is pizen. When you slip eight or ten bones to some pussyfooting guy who hands you a pint of prohibition booze, the good Lord be with you. You can never tell what you are getting. Last week one of the district judges fell into a swoon when some booze peddlers told him that their booze contained sulphuric acid, ammonia and gasoline. We weren't in the court room at the time, but if we had been we guess we would have swooned, too. It was time to swoon. What we did do, howsome, was to shake hands with ourselves over the fact that we never have bought or tasted any prohibition booze. And what we mean to say is that from now on we aren't going to. We have heard of rotten apple booze, wood alcohol booze, mule, and several other kinds of booze, but never in our natural lives did we ever hear of sulphuric acid booze. Leave it alone, friend; leave it alone. You can't afford to take a chance unless you feel like flirting with the undertaker and having friend wife or next of kin toddling down to the office to collect your life insurance. Another thing about prohibition booze is that it tangles the noodle. It makes you dippy. You start seeing things as they are not and very soon after you start doing things as they shouldn't be done. This leads to the smashing of the laws and before long you have got more trouble on your hands than the police department. So duck prohibition booze. And if you just must have something with a kick in it, just get on your knees and pray that very (Pronounced U-FALL-ER) BEAUTY PREPARATIONS The World's Fountain of Beauty Secrets Coa Illinois ANDRE Colfax 0425 soon Unk Sam will let you vote on the light wines and beer situation. Prohibition booze is the cuss of cusses. Saturday night in response to an invitation sent by the editor to about fifty men and women, representing all classes of our people, fifteen persons met at The Monitor office and held an interesting conference on securing proper political recognition in the distribution of patronage—county, state and federal—from the republican party. Rev. John Albert Williams was chosen chairman and W. E. Alexander, secretary. The sentiment was unanimous that there ought to be united action in supporting competent persons seeking appointments to which we are justly entitled. An organization to be known as the United Colored Voters of Douglas County was the outgrowth of the conference. The Heart of Christmas Christmas is not a day, it is a mood. It is independent of days. We celebrate it on Friday, Saturday, Sunday—any day of the week. Christmas is indifferent to days. It has nothing to do with the almanac. It has nothing to do with place. It is as independent of geography as it is of chronology. It has no relation to human government, or even to race or blood. It is an institution which can be set up on any soh and under the folds of any flag. Christmas is a spiritual creation, and belongs to the kingdom of the heart. It is constructed by angels of the heart of a child. If it then be a mood, it can be extended over a week, a month, a year, a lifetime. It can be built upon time, upon eternity. If you confine it to a day, you miss the meaning of it. If you try to cram it into twenty-four hours, you crush it and lose the essence of it.

VENETIAN CARNIVAL AND FIREMEN'S BALL Event at Auditorium Menday Night to Be One of the Most Unique Entertainments of Season—Record-Breaking Crowd Expected. Lieutenant Edward Turner, who is the chairman of the committee of Hose Company No. 11, which is giving an entertainment and ball at the Auditorium next Monday night for the benefit of the Firemen's Relief Association, is most enthusiastic over the outlook for a record-breaking attendance. The advance sale of tickets has been large. Several unique features have been added to the entertainment which increases its popularity. A Venetian carnival, with many unusual attractions, is only one of many specialities. All the ladies will be, and the men ought to be, interested in the colored Kewpie dolls, of which there will be a large display. The music will be furnished by Clark's augmented orchestra. Cabaret entertainers will contribute special numbers. In fact, the Venetian carnival and firemen's ball will be the most unique entertainment of the season. Have you ever seen more than a thousand dancers on the floor at one time? If you do not care to dance, there will be ample room in the gallery for spectators. Everybody is going to this affair to help a worthy cause, and no one can afford to miss it. Some one has started a rumor that this entertainment has been postponed. This is not true. It goes off on schedule time next Monday night in keeping with the advertisement carried elsewhere in this issue.

The two girls sat before an enbankment of palms in the club dining room. The girl called 'Debs' yawned behind her gauntleted glove and looked about with dissatisfaction. "Lucille," she addressed her companion, "don't you get tired of all this sameness?—the same places to go, the same everlastingly conventional things to do—." "Mercy!" interrupted Lucille, "you have the blues, who is responsible?" "It's not blues," Deborah denled, "I'm just tired to death of everything usual, that's all." "If I," replied Lucille, "had been born with a lovely golden spoon in my mouth, I should be able to find things to do without getting tired of them." "What kind of things?" her friend demanded, "dancing with the same idiotic fellows, driving, eating in places like this?" "This, I would have you know," Lucille cheerfully responded, "is the best club in town. My father belongs to it; that is why you, as my guest, are privileged to be here." Debs laughed. "Thanks for the pleasant reproach," she said, "but really dear, you don't know how I ache to do something unusual—and interesting." She leaned forward in sudden eagerness. "I believe if some unmarried mysterious unknown, garbed in gentleman's attire should step up and invite me for—well even an afternoon drive or a matinee, I'd accept just for the dare of it." "No one will," Lucille retorted, "even if you would be so reckless. The men of this club do not flirt promiscuously. They are men of unquestioned good standing. "That is just why I would like one to amuse me for the afternoon, we could part without even knowing each others names, and be to each other ever after but a pleasant memory." "Fudge!" exclaimed Lucille. She arose smiling indulgently down into her friend's pretty face. "Debs dear," she said, "are you never going to find contentment? "Till wait here awhile," Deborah answered irrelevantly, "before going back to the house. I have shopping to do. Go on to your engagement Lucille." When Lucille had gone the girl closed her eyes wearily, to open them again at the sound of an agreeably modulated voice. The voice came from a fine looking broad-shouldered man-person, who seated himself easily on the settee at her side. "In my chair behind the palms," he said, "I heard all that you and your friend have been saying to each other, and I present myself as the desired 'unmarried, mysterious unknown,' inviting you for an unusual afternoon. Being a club member in good standing, you may learn my credentials at the desk." Deborah Southworth in all her young fortunate life had never been taken so by surprise. "Thanks Mr. Unknown," she said. "I will go with you. Do we drive, or is it the matinee?" "We drive," he answered briefly. "And return when?" "Five or six o'clock, as the time suits you." His car, waiting at the street door, was a fine one, and the chauffeur, turning immediately out through the traffic, followed evidently some former direction. Debs, leaning back, regarded her companion. "I suppose," she said. "that when I think this over tomorrow, it will all seem foolish indeed. But now—" she laughed, "really, I'm having a good time." "When you think it over tomorrow," the man answered gravely, "I hope that you will be glad you came. We are going through a dingy part of the city. Dinginess," he smiled suddenly with an expression that changed the thoughtful lines of his face to pure kindness, "has not been much in your line, I fancy." "Not much," Debs carelessly replied. "Where are we now?" "In Potter street," he told her. "The name is doubtless unfamiliar to you. We stop here." The girl* stared. "The stop here," the man said, "to part of my 'unusual afternoon' for you. If you do not wish to carry out the program, you may refuse. I have to visit here professionally. There is no danger of contagion or anything of that sort. Just—" he paused, "a little woman with a broken arm. And a little lad trying to look after her, and a baby. "I thought," he said, "that it would do the little woman good to see another young woman's sweet face." And when, after a time, he arose to eave the poor room, Debs followed the doctor to the hall. "I am going to stay here," she said shakily, "the whole afternoon. I never knew that such want and bravery existed." "Then," said the big doctor, his kindly smile softened into tenderness, "I will come back to end your adventure. Not all unusual times can be happy ones, you see." "I thank you for my afternoon," Deborah answered softly. "If you knew me better you would learn that I am not always reckless or foolish." "I am going to know you better," the doctor said, and his hand held hers in a warm clasp. By MILDRED WHITE The girl stared.

FORT WORTH. Tex., Lec. 30.—What is said to be one of the largest and most expensive cemetery monuments in Fort Worth is the one which is being set up in Trinity cemetery by William M. (Gooseneck Bill) McDonald in memory of his son, who died about three years ago. The shaft is thirty-one feet high, of polished granite and cost $12,000. It was made by a Chicago concern, whose manager, Josef Rittemeyer, is here to superintend its erection. It required three weeks to set the derrick and lift the monument upon its base. Rittemeyer is editor of the Monument Reporter, one of the oldest trade journals in the country, and a former Texan who is renewing old acquaintances while in Forth Worth. McDonald is one of the best known Negro politicians and business men in the state. 5 Sicily Practically Treeless. Sicily is practically a treeless country.
