Members of Committee, Bu ddon Johnson's Clear and Sch Favorable Commendation and (Special to The Monitor WASHINGTON, Feb. 10—In a hearing before the house census committee having charge of the reapportionment bill, representatives of colored organizations launched a concerted attack on unconstitutional disfranchisement of colored voters in federal elections, in the course of which sectional feeling reached a high pitch. The distinction of opening the hearing was accorded to Mr. George H. Murray, general counsel of the Colored American Council, who, under the guise of urging the inclusion of the Madden bill in the railroad act last year, put a crimp in the Jim Crow car practices in southern states, which is just beginning to be apparent. He urged the committee, in view of the legislative situation, to include in its report on the Siegel bill a recommendation that the present apportionment act be protected by legislation looking to federal supervision of elections in states where less than 80 percent of the persons entitled to vote at a federal election. Under the provision of the national constitution were not registered and voted. He pointed out that the way in which this could be accomplished was by an extension of the Gerry act, under the terms of which Senator Newberry of Michigan was convicted of corruption at a federal election. In an interview with Mr. Murray by our Washington correspondent following the hearing he went a little farther into an explanation of his recommendation. "The acts of 1870, known as the enforcement acts, controlled voting at federal elections until 1898, when the democrats under the Cleveland administration repealed the vital sections. This was followed by decisions of the United States courts declaring other sections as unconstitutional because they regulated state elections also. But in 1918 Senator P. Goetlet Gerry, a democrat of Rhode Island, revived one of the repealed sections by revising it and eliminated its legal defects. It was passed by congress and is now a portion of the revised criminal code. Extension of this legislation to cover other practices complained of will, in my judgment, under federal administration prevent other corrupt practices." Speaking further, Mr. Murray said: "A careful canvass of legislative sentiment indicates that a straight reduction proposal will fall, owing to the fact that the northern states practice unconstitutional disfranchisement as well as the southern section. An instance of this is the literacy tests in vogue in Massachusetts, which come within the inhibition of the fourteenth amendment. But since tests of this sort, applied with a different motive, do not result in disfranchisement of a determined class and race of voters, fairness to both classes indicates that the solution of the vexed question lies in federal supervision." During the hearing little opposition to this view developed and it was stated by the Hon. Carlos Bee of Texas, that if the hearing had closed with this presentation of the case, Mr. Murray's proposition would have carried in the committee. In any event, it seems to be the only view which will receive serious consideration. Mr. Murray was followed by Mr. William Pickens of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, who assailed the southern voting practices in a manner which aroused the bitterest antagonism of the southern members. At times Chairman Siegel was put to his wits ends to restore and maintain harmony. Pickens, however, could not be driven from his position. Following Pickens the fire of the southern members was directed at Walter F. White, assistant secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, who made personal investigation of election riots in the South and at SLOGAN: THE MONITOR temps to intimidate Negro voters in Florida and other places. White demonstrated his ability to stand up under fire, and his photographs showing the actual perpetration of intimidation created a profound sensation. At the conclusion of White's testimony the Florida delegation appeared and asked to be allowed to refute White's testimony. It is unfortunate that a portion of it has already been denied by Dr. W. S. Stevens of Florida, whose name figured largely in the hearing. Mr. J. Weldon Johnson then took up the advocacy of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People's contention for a straight reduction and in a statement bristling with pertinent facts, but so framed as to diplomatically allay sectionalism. In a skirmish with Representative Barbour of California, who was making an attack on the federal supervision proposal, Mr. Johnson drew from him the admission that if there were not enough good citizens to carry out federal supervision in any state he might as well admit that anarchy had taken hold of the country. When the hearing closed Hon. James A. Cobb, general counsel for the Washington branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, was on the stand, but was prevented from completing his statement by the committee going into executive session at the instance of southern members who objected to having their pictures taken with Negro spectators present in the committee room. MINISTER BRINGS DAMAGE SUIT Methodist Pastor From Whom Accounting of Funds is Demanded Wants Character Balm of $35,000 From Attorney and Other Members of His Flock The Rev. William C. Williams, pastor of St. John's African Methodist Episcopal church, filed suit last Saturday in the district court for $35,000 character balm against Mrs. Elizabeth Wright, Gipson D. Gordon and H. J. Pinkett. The petition alleges that his character and peace of mind were damaged to this extent by the suit instituted against him by Attorney Pinkett, at the instigation of Mrs. Wright and Mr. Gordon, demanding an accounting of certain church funds which the Rev. Mr. Williams is alleged to have used to his own advantage in the purchase of ground for and the erection of a factory. Pinkett charged that there was a mortgage of $2,000 on the lots in Williams' name. This was denied by Williams and the trustee board in its published statement. The suit brought by the attorney against the minister is still pending. Mrs. Wright, who is named as one of the defendants in the damage suit, is the widow of the late John Wright, who made considerable money here several years ago. His widow, it is claimed, has made several successful investments in real estate. She is highly esteemed among a large circle of friends. Ginson D. Gordon, who is a waiter, has been thrifty and industrious and owns a beautiful home on Binney street and some other property. He has a wife and daughter and has been a resident of Omaha for more than twenty-five years. The Gordon's are looked upon as one of Omaha's best families. The Pinkett's own a beautiful home on Twenty-fifth street. All are, or were until recently, members of St. John's Methodist church, whose pastor has brought the damage suit against them for $25,000.

Ark., Feb. 10.—We will burn every 'Negro' lodge in Arkansas," is the savage threat made by ruthless outlaws here following the horrible burning of Henry Lowery here last week. Say Lodges Stir Up Unrest The authors of this nefarious threat justify themselves by claiming that the lodges throughout the state are the seat of unrest among the people, and that in the secret councils of the state's fraternal organizations the spirit of resistance to southern white oppression is developed. Lowery Prominent Lodge Man Henry Lowery, the murdered man, was prominent in fraternal circles, and his last request was that he be buried at Magnolia, Miss., with fraternal rites. The murdered man had been accused of murder and had fled to El Paso, Tex., from where he was preparing to cross over into Mexico. He was arrested to be brought back to Hurrell, Ark., to be tried for murder. He was intercepted and burned to death near this city. Cooked by Inches With their prisoner chained to a log, the members of the mob set a fire with dry leaves. Gasoline was added to the flames, and Lowery was slowly cooked to death.

Inch by inch the fire was fed until the prisoner was cooked to the waist. It was then that he seized a glowing ember and tried to swallow it in order to end his misery. Governor Attacks Sheriff Following the lynching, Governor McRae issued a statement bitterly attacking the sheriff and his deputies, saying that the officers apparently turned the prisoner over to the mob with lamb-like docility. The governor is about to recommend to the legislature a bill removing any sheriff who permits or fails to prevent a lynching in his county. JIM CROW TRAILERS OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., Feb. 3. —It has been agreed between the city officials and the city railway company to provide "Jim Crow" trailers on the street railways for "Negro passengers." This action was taken on account of friction between the two races when riding in the same cars, it is claimed. (By the Associated Negro Press) CAMILLA, Ga., Feb. 3—Jim Roland was lynched near here recently after shooting Jason I. Harvel, a well-to-do white farmer, who had held a pistol on him and ordered him to dance. The Daily Herald of Albany, Ga., is authority for the above reason for the brutal lynching which shocked Mitchell and Decatur counties. Roland and Harvel were part of a group standing in front of a county store when Harvel ordered the colored man to dance for the amusement of himself and friends. Roland took the white man's pistol from him and in the struggle shot him. Roland owned a 200-acre farm in Mitchell county, was independent and had been known as a thrifty, hard-working man. He never mixed much with others of his race, however, and never had a great liking for white people. After the shooting Sheriff Perkins of Grady county and Crow of Mitchell county began to search the district with posses, but a mob found the fugitive first and riddled him with pistol and shotgun bullets. At last report everything was peaceful and serene there. JAPANESE POPULATION IN HAWAII WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.—The Japanese population of Hawaii in 1920 was 109,274 out of the total population of 255,912 and represented an increase of about 33 per cent since 1910 the census bureau has announced. The only race which showed a greater increase in Hawaii than the Japanese was the Filipino, with an increase from 2,361 in 1910 to 21,031 in 1920. The native Hawaiian peoples decreased in the last decade from 26,041 to 23,723. 69.603 NEGROES MAKE HOME IN ST.

Carver of Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, in behalf of the peanut, with incidental observations on the sweet potato. Starting off with the proposition that the peanut and the sweet potato constitute together "a perfectly balanced ration" for humanity, and that if all the other vegetable foodstuffs were destroyed all the nutriment in them could be supplied with these two products of the soil, the Tuskegee specialist proceeded to astonish the committee and the spectators by exhibiting peanut derivatives which they had never dreamed of. For instance: and the many confections. He also described peanut cake for breakfast food, and a combination of peanut meal and "peanut hay" which, mixed with molasses and chinabberries, makes a valuable tonic food for live stock. There seem to be no end to his magic. This was one of his striking statements in conclusion. “If we think of how the peanut is used, it is the only thing that is universally used among civilized and uncivilized people, and all sorts of animals like it. It is a natural diet that was intended that everybody should use.” Here Chairman Fordney asked Prof. Carver what school he had attended. “The last school I attended,” replied the witness, “was the Agricultural College of Iowa. You doubtless remember Mr. James Wilson, who Carver—“A short time ago we found how to extract milk from peanuts. Here is a bottle of peanut milk. It is absolutely impossible to tell that from cow's milk in looks; the cream rises on it the same as on cow's milk; and, in fact, it has much the same composition. This specimen is made especially for ice cream making. It makes the most delicious ice cream that I have ever eaten.” Congressman Carew—“How does it go in a punch?” Carver—“Well, I will show you some punches.” (Laughter). “Here is one with orange, and here is one with lemon, and here is one with cherry.” Carew—“Do these violate the Volstead law?” Carver—“No, sir. . . . I heard someone what kind of a box this is. It is a Pandora's box, I guess; it never gets empty. Here is a bottle of buttermilk; very rich in fats, and very delightful.” Congressman Hawley—“Is that made from the peanut?” Carver—“Made from the peanut milk; yes, sir. And here is another very attractive product of the peanut—an instant coffee. And this is a bottle of Worcestershire sauce from peanuts.” Chairman Fordney here called for order in the committee room. Committeemen and spectators were all amused as well as interested. They wondered what was coming next. It is safe to say that the committee will never think of the peanut hereafter as a small proposition. Carver (proceeding)—“Now, the peanut milk has about the same amount of curds that cow's milk has, and the curds can be taken out and made into the various fancy cheeses such as the Neufchatel and Edam. . . Now this is a pomade—a face cream, just as soft and just as fine as the famous almond cream, and it has the quality of vanishing as soon as it is put on. Then we have here a bottle of ink. I find that the peanut makes a very fine quality of ink. . . And then here is a bottle of mock oysters. The peanut curds can be made into mock meat-dishes so thoroughly that it is impossible to tell them from meat. . . We are going to use less and less meat just as soon as science touches these various vegetables products and teaches us how to use them.” Congressman Carew—"Did you make all of these products yourself?" Carver—"Yes, sir, they are made in the research laboratory (at Tuskegee). The sweet potato products number 107 to date. I have not finished working with them yet. The peanut products are going to beat the sweet potato products by far. I have just begun with the peanut. I have with me a number of other things produced from the peanut—probably twenty-five or thirty others, including various wood dyes and stains." Of course, the witness described the numerous uses of the peanut which are familiar to the general public—the butter and the oils made from it. Put It There" and the many confections. He also described peanut cake for breakfast food, and a combination of peanutmeal and "peanut hay" which, mixed with molasses and chinabberries, makes a valuable tonic food for live stock. There seem to be no end to his magic. This was one of his striking statements in conclusion. "If we think of how the peanut is used, it is the only thing that is universally used among civilized and uncivilized people, and all sorts of animals like it. It is a natural diet that was intended that everybody should use." Here Chairman Fordney asked Prof. Carver what school he had attended. "The last school I attended," replied the witness, "was the Agricultural College of Iowa. You doubtless remember Mr. James Wilson, who served in the cabinet here so long. He was my instructor for six years." Congressman Carew—"You have rendered the committee a great service." Congressman Garner—"I think he is entitled to the thanks of the committee." (Applause.) The Chairman—"We want to compliment you on the way you have handled your subject." It was at the suggestion of Representative E. E. Holland of Suffolk that the United Peanut Association brought Prof. Carver before the ways and means committee, and he certainly made a hit. Is Son of Former Slaves Prof. Carver is 52 years old and the son ofex-slaves. He was born in Dismond, Mo., and his education began at the age of 15 years. His high school training was received in Minneapolis. He is a graduate of Iowa Agricultural College, with the degrees of A. B. and A. M., and was a student for six years of former Secretary of Agriculture Wilson. He has declined degrees of D. D. and Ph. D. He is now head of the Research and Experiment Station of Tuskegee. His discoveries exhibited include ten kinds of milk, five kinds of punches, cherry, lemon, orange, blackberry and plum; salted peanuts; two grades of flour; two grades of meat; five breakfast foods; new flavorings for ice cream, cakes, gingerbread, cookies and various confections; chocolate coated peanuts; peanut candy bars; crystalized peanuts; three relishes; nine wood stains, ranging from malachite green to fumed oak: black ink; face powder and face cream; Worcestershire sauce; four different kinds of stock foods made from the vine; ground hay with chinaberry added as a tonic, and various kinds of oils. DOCTOR GEORGE COOK (By the Associated Negro Press) WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.—The statement published in a number of newspapers to the effect that Dean George William Cook is to retire from Howard University at the end of his forty years' service is erroneous. It now develops that the address delivered by President J. Stanley Durkee before a ministers' association of the District of Columbia referred to Dr. E. Albert Cook of the School of Religion, who retires from the service of Howard University at the end of the present school year. Dean George W.

We have many such. Their biographies should be familiar to us all. A false system of education keeps before our youth the idea that none of our folk have ever amounted to much and that conse- quently ours is an “inferior race.” This is the tendency of American thought and American custom. This underlies the principle of segregation and the denial of our constitutional rights.- It is to impress upon the American of color that he is inher- ently an inferior being to every othe~ race variety. It is therefore quite necessary that press and pulpit, and the press is becoming a powerful agency among us, should disabuse the minds of our people of this fallacy to which they have unconsciously be- come more or less enslaved, by giving them concrete examples of successful achievement and of worthwhile thing: done and being done by men and wom- en of our race. It is up to us to give the facts which by others are either unknown or suppressed. We must teach our people to think highly of themselves. To think highly is the first step towards acting highly. fe Douglass is one of America’s greatest names, Re- cently when the names of America’s greatest were being discussed for a place in the hall of fame that of Douglass was seriously considered. He was not chosen by the committee, but the fact that his place in Ameri- can history was of sufficient impor- tance to have him numbered among those eligible for such a distinetion is not without signifieance. His birth- day has been fixed as February 14. His death occurred on February 20. No year should be permitted to pass without fit commemoration of this great American who arose from gall- ing chattel slavery to eminent heights of statesmnanship.

I believe that we have a number of undeveloped leaders in our race, who, if properly developed, would come forth as great leaders capable of amalgamating forces strong enough to meet optimis- tieally the most perplexing racial is- ae’ These men, who could be developed into efficient leaders, must first de- velop themselves along many lines. ‘They must first obtain a good educa- tion, eradicate all selfishness and dis- honesty from their makeup, and not allow themselves to become the min- ions of others, as many of our s0- called leaders do today. He must be straight-forward and unafraid of in- vestigation. It seems that many of ‘our race, especially the business and professional ‘men, fear investigation as they do the smallpox. We frequent- Jy find a man who is mentally fit, but ‘who is morally unfit, and vice versa, ‘consequently we find ourselves in ‘critical times with a dearth of men capable of becoming leaders. The majority of our ministers are «disqualified as leaders because every- thing with which they become con- nected, they wish to make a denomina- tional affair, causing unnecessary and avoidable strife. The majority of our lawyers are disqualified because they ‘usually become connected with dirty politics and then, when they are called upon to make a stand for their race, are unable to make a showing because they are held in leash by their un- ‘scrupulous connections. The majority of our physicians, dentists and pharm- acists are disqualified because they “are generally selfish and too self-cer ‘tered to concern themselves over the affairs of others. The majority of our teachers keep themselves so far out of the limelight that we hardly ever hear of them. The majority of our laymen are either to¢ \busy trying to earn a living or else too illiterate to qualify as leaders. The |majority of our business men are either grafters or at least trying be and so are no good to themselve: or no one else. With so many dis- oualified, where am I to find m) leaders? ‘Among the minority of the mer that I have been discussing you wil find a few brilliant, honest and unsel fish, moral men, who are submergec by the faults of others. If these pre cious few come out of their shell ani put out their banner of truth, honesty and unselfishness, they are fought by the afore-mentioned majority and ou! one ray of promising sunshine is hid. den by the clouds of immorality an¢ selfishness. So (with apologies to Mare An tony); friends, business men and pro fessionals and laymen of the colores race, lend me your ears. If you wouk see the race advance and see ou! capable men developed into efficien' leaders to make this advancement possible, think less of your own per sonal interest and think more of th interest of the race—quit trying to b grafters and quit being antagonisti towards one another. Assemble om and all under the banners of truth, un selfishness, good morals and honesty and you will be agreeably surprised a the number of efficient men that wil crop out and at the amount of goo | that these leaders can do for the race IN DEFENSE OF HIS NAME Omaha, Neb., February 8, 1921— Be it known to the public that I, Charles H. Bradford, issue the follow- ing statement in defense of my good name in connection with the York Rite Masons: I personally obtained that restrain- ing order against Mr. Clarence J. Goode because there was no other course left open to me but to do it, I came to Omaha in August, 1918, with a good name, being honest, just and upright in my dealings towards all men and I shall resist, by all hon- orable means any attempt by any man or set of men to bring any stain or dishonor on my name. When I came to this city I nursed a sick wife and son. I made my start from the ground and climbed up, having at that time less than $100.00 in cash, but both I and my wife had in addition to thie a clean name. Both of us were mem- bers of fraternities or lodges at that time. Since we came here we have lived upright and clean as near as it was humanly possible to do with God’s help. I am a Christian and even though none of us are sinless before God, yet I have endeavored to follow close to the Golden Rule, “Do unto all men as I would have them do unto me? IT wish it to be plainly understood that I cherish no ill will toward any member of the York Rite Masons, as such be it far from me to do such. On the contrary, I wish to say hereby to the people of Omaha that there are some of the finest men in the world | to be found among the members of the York Rite Masons. Men whom any man could trust to the limit with- out fear of any act of imap, whether in your home or in the street, But there are exceptions in people in. lodges as well as outside who not only are unworthy of connection with the jodge but who cannot be trusted in. anything whatsoever. I am myself a | Thirty-second Degree Mason, not in| ame only, but in my heart. There- fore, as long as Masonry is practiced n the spirit of its foundation cleanly ind unimpeachably, I am for it; when t is not, I am against it.

This means that they are offering the greatest clothing sale offered in this section. The only reason they assign for this unusual reduction sale is that their creditors demand the cash, which must be raised within the remaining nine days of this sale. The stock must be removed. They have prices and goods that fit everybody in the home—men, women and children—at prices in many cases less than one-fourth their value. Those of us who have been waiting for things to "slow down some" before we spend our money, can well afford to turn it loose at this sale.
