NATIONAL RACE CON Promptly Furnishes $5,000 Bone Which Fight Will Be Made Upon Which Jury's Verdi Father of Girl is Dropped WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 27.—The final stanza in the Washington riot cases of July, 1919, was closed January 13, when a jury found Clara Johnson, 18 year old girl, guilty of manslaughter, before Justice Gould in connection with the slaying of Detective Harry Wilson (white). Immediately following the verdict Attorney B. L. Gaskins and T. M. Watson, who defended the girl, asked for a new trial. Bail Fixed at $5,000 Bail was fixed at $5,000 and the money was immediately advanced by the National Race Congress. This congress has shown intense interest in the case, and will aid the attorney to fight the case to the bitter end. Tried on Murder Charge The girl was tried on a charge of first degree murder. There was difficulty in obtaining a jury, which delayed the taking of testimony. The prosecution, conducted by Assistant District Attorneys Cromelin and Van Doren, attempted to prove that Wilson was killed as he was searching the Johnson home for the person or persons who had fired into the street. After several shots, Wilson fell, mortally wounded. Testimony Circumstantial Attorneys Gaskins and Watson, the MOTHERS' CLUB ELECTS OFFICERS FOR YEAR Has Pleasant Social Meeting and Submits Financial Report for Year. The members of the Mothers' club met Friday afternoon, January 21. In the spacious rooms of the Young Women's Christian association, Twenty-second and Grant streets. The meeting was largely of a business nature and the time was spent in electing the following officers for the ensuing year: Mrs. M. Smith, president; Mrs. C. Gardner, vice president; Mrs. L. Johnson, secretary; Mrs. S. T. Phannx, assistant secretary; Mrs. George Macklin, treasurer; Mrs. Aaron Rayford, chaplain. The club has now become an auxiliary of the Young Women's Christian association and hence forth will hold its meetings there the first and third Friday afternoons of each month. A dainty repast was served by Mesdames Smith, Johnson and Richardson. The club was addressed by Mrs. Watkins. The official report of the Mothers' club for the year 1520 is herewith submitted to the public by the retiring officers, Mrs. George Macklin, president; Mrs. C. B Parks, vice president; and Mrs. C. M. Gordon, secretary and treasurer. COLORED ATTORNEY IS APPOINTED CIRCUIT JUDGE RICHMOND, Ind., Jan. 27.—Cornellius R. Richardson, prominent colored attorney of this city, was appointed by Judge W. A. Bond of the Wayne circuit court as special judge to hear three cases of alleged liquor law violations in circuit court. Mr. Richardson has been acting judge of the municipal court during the past week due to the illness of Mayor W. W. Zimmerman. In this position he has rendered efficient service. His appointment to the bench of circuit court was the first time in the history of the county that a colored man has been so honored. TEN KILLED WHEN GAS CAR EXPLODES MEMPHIS, Tenn., Jan. 27.—Ten coloured men were killed, a score injured THE MONITOR counsels for the defense, contended that the evidence was all circumstantial, and that as there were no eye witnesses to the shooting a first degree murder charge could not be returned. They also contended, as there were numerous shots fired, it was impossible to tell what shot struck the officer. Calm Throughout Trial A fact which aroused considerable comment was the calm manner in which Miss Johnson acted during the trial. Her bearing was that of some one unjustly accused and the directness with which she answered questions caused many to express their belief in her innocence. She remained calm when the foreman of the jury announced the verdict, but later broke down and was led from the courtroom by the matron, protesting her innocence between heart breaking sobs. Drop Charge Against Father Upon motion of District Attorney Laskey the court dropped the charge of first-degree murder, which the grand jury had returned against William Johnson, father of the girl. Counsel for the defense were not allowed to use this fact, however, to oppose the charge of the government that the girl shot the detective. some probably fatally, and property damage estimated at $200,000 was caused Monday by an explosion of gasoline in a tank car at the Colyar Reese company plant. The blast wrecked a part of the oil plant, leveled a block of frame dwellings and shook the north end of the city. Of the injured, two are white—L. C. Scott, superintendent of the plant, and L. C. Wilder, truck superintendent. Both were badly burned. Colyar Reese, president, attributed the explosion to spontaneous combustion resulting when vapor escaped from the tank car after the cap was removed preparatory to unloading came in contact with the atmosphere. ARKANSAS SENATE PASSEN RODD ROGUE BILL LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Jan. 27—In an effort to kill off colored people in the politics of Arkansas, escape the operation of the federal election law and seat the oligarchy that rules this state until kingdom come, the state senate has passed the Rodd-Bogle bill. This bill separates the state and national election, throwing the state contest in October, thus divorcing completely the state from the national election. ENTICERS OF LABORERS MOULTRIE, Ga., Jan. 27.—Two men charged with enticing Negroes away to work on tobacco plantations near Quincy, Fla., have been arrested in Mitchell county, west of here, and another has fled after being flogged by irate farmers, according to reports received here. The men arrested on charges of violating the state law governing labor agents gave their names as H. L. Luuten of Amsterdam, Fla., and R. F. Taylor of Quincy, Fla. They were released on bond pending trial at Camilla. Taylor was said to be manager of a tobacco company. The name of the man reported whipped could not be learned here. IS ELECTED MEMBER IS ELECTED MEMBER OF VILLAGE COUNCIL DETROIT, Mich., Jan. 27.—Dr. James L. Henderson was elected councilman by the Hantramck village to fill the vacancy caused by the failure of Clayton Wentworth, white, who was elected councilman at the last election, to attend any meetings of the council for several weeks. Dr. Henderson has been a resident of Hantramck for three years. He is a graduate of the Detroit College of Medicine. A NATIONAL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS THE REV.

TURNER'S FATHER DIES IN TEXAS Quite sad news reached the home of Mr. S. H. Turner, 2610 Charles street, of the death of his beloved father, Mr. Havis Turner, of Texas. Mr. Turner lost his wife just a few months ago. Here is what the local paper of Texas said about his father: "Havis Turner, one of Henderson county's best known and most respected colored men, died two weeks ago, his remains being laid to rest at Bethel cemetery. Havis had been a prominent figure at the Castle for forty years. He never lived anywhere else; he owned a good home here where his entire life was spent, and was known and respected by more white people than any other colored man in our county, evidence of this being that more white folks than colored went to view his remains for the last time. Peace to his ashes and may all of the colored people try to emulate his life." WOMAN KILLED WITH BUTCHER KNIFE Murder Result of Quarrel Over Alleged Loss of Money Which Stain Woman Claimed Had Been Stolen From Her Room. Sunday Mrs. Emma Polk was stabbed to death in her home at 2705 North Twenty-fifth street by Mrs. Mattie McNichols, who, with her husband, roomed at the Polk home. It is alleged that Mrs. Polk, who claimed that $15 had been stolen from her home, accused Mrs. McNichols of either having taken it herself or knowing who did. In the argument which ensured Mrs. McNichols seized a butcher knife and stabbed Mrs. Polk several times, inflicting deep wounds in her chest and puncturing her left lung. She was rushed to Swedish Mission hospital, where she expired from her wounds. It is claimed that McNichols prevented Henry Scott, son of the murdered woman, from going to the defense of his mother, and that he himself did not attempt to restrain his wife from the murderous attack. Mrs. McNichols is in jail, charged with murder. The funeral of Mrs. Polk was held Thursday afternoon from Zion Baptist church, of which she was a member. The Rev. W. F. Botts officiated. ST. PAUL PRESBYTERIAN According to previous announcements, Dr. J. H. Hutten and Mr. John' A. Hardy were ordained ruling elders in this church at the morning services. It was an impressive service, and the men upon whom hands were laid were manifestly touched by the solemnity of the ceremony. May they be elders that rule well, that they may receive double honors. The special feature in the Sunday school next Sunday will be a vocal solo by Miss Sarah Kyles and a paper on some phase of mission work by Mr. Elbert Taylor.

A. A. C. P. for Five Years Has Accomplished Much in Addition to Religious Influence Wielded (Special to The Monitor) DETROIT, Mich., Jan. 27. — The Rev. Robert W. Bagnall, who for ten years has been a vector of St. Matthew's Episcopal church of this city where he has done splendid constructive work and built up a strong parish has resigned to become one of the secretaries of the National Association for Advancement of the Colored People, with headquarters in New York City. Father Bagnall will leave for New York in a few days and will enter upon his duties February 1. During his ten years' rectorate in this city Father Bagnall has been an outstanding and commanding figure in the religious and civic life of our people. Not only has he built up his parish, but like most Episcopal priests he has thrown himself into the civic life for the betterment of our people. He has been a fearless and outspoken champion for the rights of our people. An amended civil rights bill, granting greater protection to our people, owes much to his efforts. As president for the last five years of the Detroit branch of the N. A. A. C. P., which has a strong membership composed of both races, he has accomplished a vast deal in securing justice and safeguarding the constitutional rights of his race. An element and ready speaker, his services were in much demand particularly by the N. A. A. C. P. The national office, it is learned, has been anxious to secure his undivided service for some time. Recently a reception was tendered Father and Mrs. Bagnall at the Hotel Biltmore where testimonials as to his services here and regret at his leaving the city were voiced by many. His successor at St. Matthew's has not yet been chosen. LINCOLN. NEB. Mrs. Dagely of Kansas City, Kans., is visiting her niece. Mrs. Katie Graves, of this city. Mr. Robert Johnson has returned home from the hospital and is able to be up and around his home. Mrs. Johnson is also recovering from her recent illness. The Mission Circle will give a program next Sunday afternoon at Mt. Zion Baptist church. All churches and pastors are invited. Rev. J. P.

Redding had been found guilty and sentenced to hang together with Oscar McGavitt, his chief lieutenant, for participation in the street brawl in the heart of the colored section, at which Robert L. Rose, a sailor, and Joseph Hart, a eigar clerk, both white, had been killed, and Patrolman Joseph Owens, colored, severely wounded. The other five defendants were found not guilty. They are Harry Lee, Edward Rush, James Briggs, Dennis Brown and Allen Willis. The riot occurred during a parade led by Redding and Jonas organized for the purpose of recruiting Negroes to the "Back to Abyssinia" movement, of which Redding was the head and self-acclaimed prophet of God. Exercises followed the parade and Redding burned an American flag at the corner of Indiana Avenue and Thirty-fifth street. Rose, who was in uniform, interfered and was shot. Mol hysteria followed, in which Hart was also slain. --- Staves of the Morning Star Baptist church will preach at 4 p. m. Mrs. E. Evans is recovering steadily from her recent operation.

Collins, died at the State hospital last Saturday about 5:30 a.m. after an illness of some duration. She is survived by a father, sister, brother, aunt and uncle, and several other relatives and friends. The funeral was held in Castle, Roper & Matthews' undertaking parliors Monday at 3 p.m. The A. M. E. choir rendered songs for the services. Prayer by Rev. H. W. Botts. Scripture reading by Rev. Mr. Jones. The obituary was read by Rev. O. J. Burkhardt, who afterwards delivered a short discourse, which was well worth the while. A host of friends assembled to pay their last respects to the deceased. Friends of the family convey them their deepest sympathy in their hour of bereavement. COMMITTEE Y. W. C. A. The dinner given by the house committee of the Young Women's Christian association Monday night was a delightful and successful affair from every point of view. The menu and service were excellent and abundant. The guests were many. Several persons embraced this opportunity of repaying social debts by entertaining at this dinner. Among the ladies who were active in preparing and serving the guests The Monitor noted Miss Lena Paul, Miss Anna E. Logan, Madames Sina Brown, Dan Desdunes, Charles Solomon, Julia A. Hudlin Dana Murphy, Nellie Gordon, Miss Frankie B. Watkins, Mrs. J, C, Donley and Mrs. Watkins Mrs. W, W. Peebles smilingly took tickets at the door. The dinner was generously patronized, as it well deserved to be. SOUTH SIDE LOCALS Dr. A. King of Chicago spent Saturday in Omaha visiting with friends. He expects to begin practice in Chicago soon. Mr. Perkins, 2514 P street, was called to Parsons, Kans., due to the illness of his mother. Miss Cerrrelda Tucker of South High school was exempt from all final examinations, receiving over 90 per cent in each of five subjects this semester. Mr. J. T. Williams, formerly of Omaha, is now attending the Northwestern university at Evanston, Ill. Mr. Clestine Roberts, Twenty-fourth and E streets, who has been severely ill at his home, is much improved. Mrs. Mary Dixon will conduct a play, "A Mother's Love," and will also show pictures illustrating the baptism of Christ, January 31, in Bethel church hall. Admission 25 cents. Miss Lydia Mae Owens of this side, attending Boyles college, is receiving complimentary grades for each monthly report. TO GALLOWS Chicago, and His Chief Lieutenant "God Won't Let Them Hang Me" HATTERED BY ALIENIST Crazy—Speech and Actions Erratic, Still Organizing Movement Throughout his trial Redding feigned insanity and it was necessary to tie him down on several occasions when he tried to fight with court attaches. Redding's insanity was shattered when Dr. William O. Krohn, stat alienist, testified Redding had admitted deception to him as his only chance to escape the rope. Many people have expressed the opinion that Redding is really insane. His actions and speech are very erratic. Redding handed a colored reporter the card of one of the assistant state's attorneys and told him that the state's attorney was his lawyer. One of the defendants asked the same reporter, "to go and see my boss and have him come get me out." They seemed to have no comprehension of the extent of the charge against them. They are simple people of low intelligence and it is said that a white activator known the country over as "Jonas" who was their leader and who was arrested at the time of the riot in which he was one of the chief padraders, but was later released, fired them with the foolish zeal which led to the trouble. Jonas is said to be still organizing Abysinian movements throughout the country. Vol. VI No. 31' (Whole No. 291) SOLUTION?

It has been provided by Cubans themselves, and by Americans who have come out of the interior of the island republic, and indicates that the country is on the verge of a revolution by which the island's Negroes intend to demonstrate their numerical supremacy and build up another republic in which black will rule white. The immediate vehicle which will be used as the basis for the outbreak will be the tangled political and financial situation arising out of the last Cuban election—the situation which took Major-General Enoch C. Crowder to the island with the cloud of possible American intervention hovering above his mission. This situation will reach a climax in April, when the successful candidates in the still disputed elections should be installed. Cubans See Opportunity It is the contention of the colored population that there will be no such inaugurals; that government authority at that time either will be non-existent or indolent, and that another such opportunity probably never will come to them, particularly if the United States, as every one on the island anticipates, straightens out the present involved conditions either by intervention or by more peaceable measures. What the Negroes are seeking is no new demand in Cuba. It has been a bugaboo on the island since American aid freed it from the clutch of Spain. They demand the withdrawal of that section of the Platt amendment which prohibits the establishment of a political party based upon color. They are ready now to launch what will be known—what actually already known in the eastern and interior sections—as the Independent Political Party of Color. Under such a party the Negroes virtually could win every elective office in the country. Even the title of the Negro party is not known. The present movement is merely the rejuvenation of th revolutionary effort which swept the island in 1912 under the leadership of two educated Negroes, Estenoz and Ivonet. Both were native Cubans, but both were educated in France and spent considerable time in the United States. Revolt Leader Killed Their following was large and powerful. They were beaten only after Estenoz was hunted down and killed in the tropical, jungle-like fastnesses of Oriente province, in which the city of Santiago de Cuba is situated and from where through mysterious channels, the revolutionary bands drew their greatest sustenance, not only in money, but actually in food and other supplies. The attempt of 1912 was comparatively feeble, according to those who have brought reports of the contemplated uprising out of the interior. It was estimated by General Monteagudo, then commander in chief of the Cuban army, that the followers of Estenoz and Ivone numbered not more than 5,000 in the field. Estimates place the number of Negroes pledged to back the threatened uprising at anywhere from 10,000 to 15,000. This strength has been marshalled without any effort at recruiting and without use of the most pliable of all the means at the hands of the leaders, which is playing upon the emotions of the uneducated blacks at work upon the big plantations. Who the leaders of the present revolutionary movement are is not generally known, but men who recently were in and near Santiago, Palma Soriano and other towns in that section of Oriente province, assert that the preliminary expenses of the organizers of the movement is being extorted LIFTING. LIFT, TOO! from French coffee planters, whose acres lie about Santiago, and from the smaller planters in the more isolated sections of the province. Such extortion is easy, for the means of communication with those places, where they exist at all, are of the most primitive sort, and the extortionists are hundreds of miles into the jungles before appeals for aid can be answered. Perhaps the greatest aid to the Negroes has come from Bolshevik propagandists who literally have overrun the island. There are many on the island who have vouchsafed the information that Cuba has been the temporary stopping place of hundreds of these agents seeking entrance to the United States, but who are unequipped with passports or other means of entrance. They have spread the gospel of revolution and race power from one end of the island to the other, and to their ranks have been added more than one educated Negro who has come out of the United States bubbling over with enthusiasm for the much preached cause of Negro equality everywhere, and supremacy where the black man outnumbered the white. Evidence that the Negroes are beginning to feel their power on the island has been found in many places in Oriente province. More than one clash has occurred already, but they have been only spontaneous outbursts of the sort that the revolutionary agents have discouraged and have done everything in their power to prevent, in the hope of diverting attention from their more ambitious plans.

MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED MICRO PRESS THAT the press of the country is beginning to realize that the colored American is thinking hard these days along constructive lines is a rather encouraging sign. At last, it would seem, that the people of the dominant group are coming to the realization that the brother in black can really think and is thinking for himself. There has been great reluctance to make this concession. It has been taken too much for granted that we were incapable of thinking for ourselves, and that they who occupy the dominant place in American life should do our thinking for us. But recent articles in the leading magazines and newspapers of the country are calling attention to the fact that the colored American is capable of thinking and is thinking hard. Not only so, it is dawning upon them that the black or Negro races throughout the world are thinking. This is true. We are thinking. Many are. What is needed is more and more thinking. When a people or class begins to think, their emancipation draweth nigh. It is important that we think right, not in terms of narrowness but of broadmindedness. A heavy responsibility is laid upon those who guide and direct a people's thinking. THE CHILDREN'S CODE BILL THERE is a bill before the Nebraska state legislature which should be passed. It is the children's code bill and contains provisions for the protection, education and betterment of children.

THINKING LOBBYING ored People deems it advisable to interest itself in watching legislation at Lincoln. It is a wise precautionary measure. Certain legislation is proposed and may be enacted that may not be to our best interests and therefore it is expedient that we have on the ground people who will keep their eyes and ears open. YELLOW JOURNALISM SUNDAY'S edition of The Omaha Daily News which was sold on the streets Saturday night carried the great scare-crow headline, "Negro Terrorizes Shoppers." Searching through the columns for the story which would justify such a headline, it was discovered that a thief who happened to be a colored man had snatched several petticoats from a counter in the Burgess-Nash stores and, dashing through the aisles, escaped with his loot. Why the box-car headline of terrorization, if not to create adverse sentiment against the colored race? That is the effect of all such headlines and The Omaha Daily News should know it. This will impress the average reader as being yellow journalism for which Omaha has dearly paid. BE COMPANIONABLE We wonder how many mothers try to be companions to their daughters and how many fathers seek to be chummy with their boys? This companionship will be beneficial to all concerned. It will help to keep mother and dad young and will make the boys and girls understand that father and mother are interested in all that concerns them—play, study, work.

CO. West Street SNYCOPATED SPASMS EVERY day in the paper we have occasion to take a slant at some article telling us that in some spot of this little old U. S. A., some dude or dudes is plastering the statute books all up with blue laws. Some claim that you must go to the lockup if you take a draw on the old corn cob; one grocer was handed a fifty roller fine because he sold some crackers, and in another instance a poke was landed on the jail lounge because he was shoveling the winter feathers off his front walk. What do you think about it? The only reason why we don't express ourselves effectively is because ladies have to read this here paper. Hot isn't any adjective for us to use. We aren't a degree short of absolute high temperature. We only hope that if the blue law brothers and sisters ever get the fatal swing, that they will jug everybody that even peeps on Sunday. Jug the preacher who preaches for his beans and bacon change on Sunday; jug the chair singers and the pipe organ plunker; jug the jay who tries to get out a Sunday paper; jug the telephony girl who tries to connect you up with your best girl on Sunday; jug the gas company and the electric light company for letting you have light on Sunday; jug the wife for cooking your meals on Sunday; jug the furnace for delivering heat on Sunday; jug the water faucet for spouting water on Sunday; in fact, jug everybody and everything. That's the only kind of a blue Sunday to have. If you are going to make it blue, make it a dark deep naw blue in a color that won't run. They's our sentiments.

In no other part of this country is the right of a free born citizen to cast his ballot so brazenly and so brutally denied. In no other section is there so little faith that the will of the majority, expressed at the poll, will work itself out, somehow, into wisdom of action. Elsewhere, in other states, the spirit of violence flares forth fiftfully in deeds of violent disrespect for the law and the rights of human beings under that law. But nowhere is it so general, so determined, and so maddened as in the southern states where the Negro came in slavery and is now denied the rights of citizenship that were granted him in the Fifteenth amendment. The Ku Klux Klan has been revived in the south. The only real reason for the revival of that infamous organization is fear and hatred of the Negro and determination to keep him "in his place." Leaders of the organization deny this, but the actions of its members are proof enough that the klan, organized to frighten the Negro in his newly freed childhood, is now active to terrorize him in his young manhood. In the New Republic's issue of January 12 is the frank recital of "Election by Terror in Florida," by Walter F. White—a graduate of Atlanta university, who has investigated thirty-six lynchings and five race riots in the last three years. The south fears the Negro voter. It fears the Negro woman voters even more than the Negro men. The Ku Klux Klan exists to frighten these citizens into submissive voting or to keep them altogether away from the polls. On the night of October-30th, the Saturday before the national election, parades of the klans were advertised in many southern cities and towns—with intent to warn the Negroes. The parades did not frighten. Instead they acted as an incentive to bring to the polls many Negroes who might otherwise have been indifferent. The Jacksonville Metropolis of September 16 carried the scare head: "Democracy in Duval County is Endangered by Very Large Registration of Negro Women." On election day at one polling place 4,000 Negroes were cheated of the right to vote; in Orange county Mose Norman was driven from the polls because it was generally considered he was too prosperous for a "nigger" and the result was a riot in which twenty houses, two churches, a schoolhouse and a lodge hall were burned, and from fifty to sixty Negroes killed; in Quincy a Negro physician was spat upon and threatened with death if he wined the sum from his face—because he had advised others of his race to register and vote. These are mere indications of the situation in the south, a state of affairs that exists not because of actual crimes of the Negro, but because of white determination to prevent him from exercising his legal freedom. This south, whose material prosperity depends so greatly on the Negro, is drifting into spiritual bankruptcy, and unless the nation awakes to action its future will be even more terrible than its past.—San Francisco Call and Post, January 17, 1921.
