UNPRECEDENTED EV Accused of Crime Which Almost in South, Emanuel West is I Most Brilliant Lawyers, Succ Guilt That Jury is Unable t Given Another Trial.—News LITTLE ROCK, Ark., May 5. That there is a growing determination in certain sections of the South to see that colored men accused of crime shall be guaranteed a fair trial is clearly demonstrated by an unprecedented event, certainly in Arkansas, if not in the entire South, when a jury composed entirely of white men, and sitting on a case in which a colored man was accused of assault upon a young white girl, disagreed by five to seven on a verdict. Knowing the strength of prejudice which sways men in such cases the evidence must have been weak indeed to have so resulted. It makes one shudder to think how many innocent men have been made to suffer the death penalty at the hands of mobs. After 2 hours' deliberation the jury, composed of white men of the highest class, reported to Judge Wade that it was hopelessly divided on the innocence and guilt of Emanuel West, a young colored man accused of having committed an assault upon a young white woman. A new jury will be empaneled and the trial held over in First Division Circuit Court. The prosecution having fallen down before the onslaught of three of the ablest white lawyers in Arkansas, has begged for more time to rake up new evidence. White People Stirred. Since the trial opened the white people of Little Rock showed determination to give West a fair trial, and to make the State prove beyond any reasonable doubt that he was guilty as charged. Led by the Gazette and the Democrat, public opinion was content to allow the courts of Arkansas try West. Brilliant lawyers were appointed by Judge Wade to defend him, and they fought every inch of the way. The finest jury possible to call to the bar heard the evidence. The final vote of the jury, which was dismissed at 8 o'clock Monday morning, April 18, was seven for conviction and five for acquittal, a reversion to the original vote of Saturday night after the attempted compromise of Sunday, when the members stood 11 for conviction, with a sentence of life imprisonment, and one for acquittal. After an all day deliberation the jurors appeared before Judge Wade Sunday night with a proposed verdict carrying a life term. Former Gov. George W. Donaghey, foreman, explained that with the exception of the Rev. Hay Watson Smith, pastor of the Second Presbyterian church, who stood for acquittal, the other four members of the jury who believed West to be innocent, had agreed to a compromise verdict and a life sentence, with the understanding that the SALVATORE THE MONITOR Commissioners. From Whom Citizens Expect Good Government case should be appealed to the Supreme Court. Mr. Donaghey said that those who believed West should be acquitted felt that the lapse of time necessary for an appeal to the higher court would afford an opportunity to discover further evidence, and that even if West were imprisoned without appeal, and such evidence should be discovered later, he could then be pardoned. Four of the five men who stood for acquittal said in their own behalf that, while they believed West innocent, they would agree to a compromise verdict as the best means of insuring ultimate justice. W. R. Donham, one of the attorneys appointed to defend West, protested that the jury had no jurisdiction over the case, outside of rendering a verdict, and that the verdict must be brought in without consideration of possible later developments and must be based on the evidence presented in the trial. His protest was upheld by Judge Wade, who again instructed the jury to arrive at a verdict it possible. The jurors then informed that they would be ready to appear at 8 o'clock Monday morning. The jury then returned to its first vote. Those who were in favor of acquittal were the Rt. Rev. Thomas V. Tobin, Dr. Smith, the Rev. A. C. Millar, C. F. Bizzell and Mr. Donaghey. Upon the reappearance of the jury before Judge Wade it was apparent that no decision could be reached and the members were dismissed, with the understanding that a new jury would be called for a retrial. Gazette Conusels Order. The Arkansas Gazette, the great morning daily of the state, and whose editor is a former United States Senator, says in a striking editorial: "The Negro Enmanuel West, who was charged with committing a crime that filled the people of the city with righteous resentment, was tried before a jury the like of which is seldom empaneled. It consisted of the Rev. James Thomas, the Rev. A. C. Millar, Monsignor T. V. Tobin, the Rev. Hay Watson Smith, Caughey Hayes, E. C. Nowlin, C. F. Bizzell, former Gov. George W. Doneghey, A. C. Read, B. P. Kidd, A. T. Toors and Martin Sharp. "It is public knowledge that at the end of its long deliberations the jury stood seven to five for conviction. No man should let his natural desire that punishment be meted out in the electric chair, for the heinous crime charged against this Negro, betray him into condemnation of those jurors who were not convinced of the defendant's guilt and A NATIONAL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS THE REV. JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS, Editor Nebraska Civil Rights Bill Chapter Thirteen of the Revised Statutes of Nebraska, Civil Rights. Enacted in 1893. Sec. 1. Civil rights of persons. All persons within this state shall be entitled to a full and equal enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities and privileges of inns, restaurants, public conveyances, barber shops, theatres and other places of amusement; subject only to the conditions and limitations established by law and applicable alike to every person. Sec. 2. Penalty for Violation of Preceding Section. Any person who shall violate the foregoing section by denying to any person, except for reasons of law applicable to all persons, the full enjoyment of any of the accommodations, advantages, facilities, or privileges enumerated in the foregoing section, or by aiding or inciting such denials, shall for each offense be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and be fined in any sum not less than twenty-five dollars, nor more than one hundred dollars, and pay the costs of the prosecution. "The original act was held valid as to citizens; barber shops can not discriminate against persons on account of color. Messenger vs. State, 25 Nebr. page 677. N. W. 638." "A restaurant keeper who refuses to serve a colored person with refreshments in a certain part of his restaurant, for no other reason than that he is colored, is civilly liable, though he offers to serve him by setting a table in a more private part of the house.

When five members of this jury, which was composed of men of character and intelligence, could not convince themselves that this defendant was guilty, the public must control its feeling over the failure of the law thus far to avenge a crime that calls for avenging. "This deplorable case has put the community on trial. A splendid civic spirit was exhibited when 12 of Little Rock's best citizens took their places in the jury box and when W. R. Donham, M. E. Dunaway and Fred A. Isbrig, undertook the thankless task of conducting the defense, a duty to which they gave days of their time. This community will further vindicate itself as a community of law and order by awaiting the orderly procedure of the courts in the case of this accused Negro and by accepting as the finding of justice whatever result shall finally be reached."

Belly-Worship May Overthrow Their proud Position of Power BLACK RACE MAY BECOME RULER (By HAROLD D. JACOBS) United Press Staff Correspondent New York, May 5—American civilization will be destroyed by mince pie and corned beef and cabbage. In making this statement to the United Press, Andre Tridon, noted French psycho-analyst, pointed out that the overthrow of America would be a part of the general downfall of the white race. "It always has been and always will be the history of mankind that a dominant race becomes super-civilized and gives away to another which lives only for its stomach and reproduction," Tridon said. "The virility of a race is measured by its purely physical attributes. To even approximate the time when the white man will lose his dominance is the wildest guesswork, but it is bound to come. And, according to present indications, it is the black man who will succeed him as ruler." Tridon declared that the natural advantages which Americans hold over other white men in many ways are largely dissipated by the neglect over stomachs. "Americans are the worst eaters in corned beef and cabbage and your horrible mince pie are but examples of your unspeakable menu. Why, even the Mexican Indian can take a piece of goat meat and a few chill peppers and concoct a dish that would shame your best home cooking. "When the stomach fails the race begins to die out. The true American has already begun to disappear. Your New England stock is nearly just a memory. It is being replaced by the more sturdy European strains of stronger stomachs and better constitutions. You are too much addicted to your corned beef and mince pie and kindred gastronomic night-mares to give them up. They will be your downfall." CAMP FIRE NOTES Group Ocowasin met at the Y. W. C. A.

Whom Citizens Expe DAHLMAN SLATE SWEEPS CITY All Candidates of "The United Seven" Are Swept Into Office By a Tidal Wave of Votes—Record Breaking Vote Cast in City Election. The United Seven or Dahlman slate was elected by majorities running from 5,000 to nearly 10,000 over their opponents Tuesday in a record-breaking municipal campaign. The total vote cast ran close to 60,000, which is a little under one-third of Omaha's entire population. This shows the interest manifested in the campaign. The pre-election belief prevalent was that at least three and perhaps four of the opposite or "5,000" slate would be elected. It was believed that Ringer, Ure and Towl would pull through; and the tidal wave of votes which carried the "United Seven" into port swept even these out to sea. The ratio of gain for the victors was practically the same in all wards so that the claim that only certain classes supported this ticket falls to the ground. Dan Butler led the ticket as he did three years ago, his vote of 34,037 being 9,541 more than that of Ure, the top-notcher of the "Progressive Seven." Here is how they ran: Dan Butler 34,037 James C. Dahlman 32,473 Harry B. Zimmar 31,738 Joseph B. Hummel 30,682 John Hopkins 30,438 Henry Dunn 29,451 Joseph Koutsky 27,616 W. G. Ure 24,496 Roy N. Towl 23,064 Thomas Falconer 23,001 J. Dean Ringer 21,881 Abraham L. Sutton 20,760 Charles A. Grimmel 19,978 John F. Murphy 19,803 When seen by The Monitor, Mr. Dahlman said, "I am grateful to The Monitor and all my friends for their support and vote of confidence. I am glad that they have given me men who will work harmoniously with me, You may say for me, through The Monitor, that I intend to do my best to give Omaha a good administration and that the people can count upon me to be fair to all classes as I tried to be during my former administrations." Harry B. Zimman said, "I am grateful for the support of all my friends. Tell them, they'll find me 'doing my duty.'" Dan B. Butler: "I thank The Monitor and my friends for standing by me so loyally. I have tried to do my duty. (Continued on Page Two.)"

This will be the inevitable struggle between plutocracy and labor in which the former will endeavor to subject the poorer classes to the yoke of the superman.

Notwithstanding this, with some degree of useless fear the Dominant Man looks upon the New Man, not as an unassuming or hopeless creature, but as the coming mystery or the black peril of the twentieth century. Therefore the New Man is denied those higher military arts that will enable him to withstand the inevitable foe who will invade the New World about the year 1935. For in this prophetic vision I see a menace at the door and two nations of recent notice who will doubtless combine their restless forces and devise conveyances for air, sea and sub-sea for a long and costly voyage. And in their iron grasp I see millions of daring souls whom they will disseminate over North. South and Central America, which will incite the most disastrous war known to mankind, in which all nations will engage. The world's greatest battle will therefore be fought upon the American continent, with these objects in view, Commerce, Freedom and an Open Door. But this will be the final struggle to carnal warfare, which will start about the year 1935 and end about 1938 with the downfall of all monarchs and kingdoms. Then the kingdoms of this world will become the kingdom of our God, in that righteousness will supplant rivalry and might and the remnants of the nations will heed the mandates of God and regard all men as brethren, regardless of race, color or creed. God will then bring the offspring of the New Man out of modern Egypt and scatter them throughout this country for an educational and righteous purpose.

There were boosters for the Dahlman ticket that one would naturally have expected to have seen on the other side and vice versa.

THE MONITOR CLARK TELLS STORY OF COURT HOUSE RIOT Police "Tendered" to Their Homes, Not to Him, He Says in Interview CLAIM RINGER WAS EXCITED In response to attacks which have been made on him by speakers for the "Committee of 5000" and in lit- rature circulated by the Sutton candi- dates, Sheriff Mike Clark yester- day made a statement concerning the courthouse riot. Dean Ringer's police force, he charges, are the men really at fault, for failure to disperse the rioters. Ringer and Eberstein, on the night of riot, he is informed by his deput- ies, were panic stricken. The prisoner, he asserts, for whose possession the mob wrecked the court house, was not his prisoner at all, but the prisoner of the police. He had been placed in the county jail purely as a matter of courtesy for safe keeping. "I have no interest in the election," Sheriff Clark prefaced his statement. Says Patrick Not Truthful. Says Patrick Not Truthful "Certain statements: made during the campaign, however, are so ridiculous as to force me to give the facts in self defense. "I want to say to Mr. Patrick that he is a liar in his heart, and a liar in his mouth." "That prisoner was brought to the jail by the police, whose prisoner he was, for safeceping. Such prisoners are never guarded in prison clothes. They belong to the police and are permitted to wear the clothes they have on when they are brought into the jail. So much for that. Surrounded by 20,000 "It is claimed that I refused to have the prisoner taken away although I was urged to do so by Eberstein and Ringer. "That is absolutely false. "These are the facts: I was out of town when the prisoner was admitted to the jail. I did not return until about 5 p. m. the day of the riot. "Until my return, I did not even know the crime had been committed. I did not know the man was in jail. At the time I was urged to 'take the man to a place of safety,' the courthouse was surrounded by 20,000 people. To have taken him out of the building would have been to take him to his death." Referring to a paragraph in a political pamphlet distributed by the "Committee of 5,000" in an article headed "The Riot," which charges that the sheriff refused to take the prisoner to a place of safety, and that he was never criticized, although he had custody of the prisoner and was in command of the courthouse, and although Ringer tendered him to the police force, he branded it as an "absolute lie." "The grand jury report brought out the fact that Ringer and Eberstein tendered the police force to their homes instead of to me at that time," he said. "At least, that's where they went, after they turned in their guns and their stars." Concerning the actions of Ringer and Eberstein on the night of the riot, the sheriff called in two of his deputies, Harry McDonald and N. V. Halter, who were on the roof with the prisoners, and asked them to tell their story in their own words. "When the riot was at its worst," McDonald said, "I was standing on the north side of the roof. Eberstein was standing near. "Chief, what do you think we ought to do with this man?" I asked him. "He waved his arms over his head. "Do as you please with him, I don't care,' was all he had to offer. "Just then Ringer came running up the back stairs to the roof. "'Come on chief,' he called, 'we can get down the back stairs and get out. I've just been down. "The chief followed him down. "They got part way down, but the way was blocked by the sheriff, who was holding back the mob. "Later, when the mob came up, I think Eberstein eased by and got out. That was the last I saw of him." After Police Went Home McDonald corroborated the sheriff's statement the prisoner was dressed in the clothing he wore when he entered the jail. "The only suggestion I heard Mayor Smith make," he continued, "was, well, the only thing you can do is to get your men together, draw your guns and fight your way out." "That suggestion was made to the sixteen men in the sheriff's office, after nearly 200 policemen had given up the fight and gone home. "It was given in the face of an ultimatum delivered by the mob that the first man who showed himself at the door would be killed." World-Herald, Friday, April 29, 1921 (Advertisement) REV. J. A.

DS SALE ERWEAR SALE ESS SALE - LONGEVITY ON THE DECREASE University Professor Thinks It Is, and Gives Some Cogent Reasons Why It Should Be. Prof. Raymond Pearl of Johns Hopkins, after an exhaustive study of life probability extending through a historic period of two thousand years, arrives at the conclusion that while man's possibilities of life at birth and in earlier stages has been steadily improving, his expectation of life at advanced age has been steadily decreasing. Comparisons ranging from the Romano-Egyptian to the present day offer statistical proof. The theoretical explanation is that in early times, with less provision for the protection of babies and infants, only the more rugged pulled through. Nowadays with increasing care for childhood, the weak are carried into adolescence and adulthood. Where formerly only the fittest or toughest managed to reach the shady slope of life, and were consequently more likely to hang on to ripe old ages, the salvaging of the weaker brings them into the fifties and sixties with less hope of prolonged life. It sounds plausible and may explain the apparent decrease of longevity. Incidentally, his statistics brought out the fact that while women formerly had less expectation of life at all ages, this has been reversed—another blow to the tradition of "the weaker sex." Women now appear to have the greater probability of prolonged life. KNOWS MACHINES HE BUILDS Head of Great Locomotive Works Has More Than Business Acumen to His Credit. On a hot day last summer an express train between Philadelphia and New York came to a jolting halt, says Nation's Business. The passengers first joked, then grumbled, then grew impatient. A big man, white-haired, but youthful in motion, climbed down from a chaircar and marched up to the engine, which was the center of a ring of passengers. "What's wrong?" he asked. In effect, the engineer said that the engine had quit and he didn't know what the several things was the matter with it. The big man peeled off his coat and waistcoat and rolled up his shirt sleeves. Then he sort of disappeared in the interior of the unwilling engine and the ring of watching passengers-grew. Half an hour later he emerged with a smudged face and grimy hands, and said, "She's all right now," put coat and waistcoat over his arm and walked back to his chair car, wiping his hands on a handful of waste he'd picked up in the cab. She was all right, and the man who made her all right was Samuel Matthews Vauchain, millionaire president of the Baldwin Locomotive works, and a real boss of his 20,000 workmen. Airplane an Essential Now. In 50 minutes after the Birmingham office of a Shelby county mine operator had gotten in touch with the mine rescue station at West End, experts at the station had engaged an airplane and with special life-saving apparatus had been landed at the mine, 30 miles distant. This marks a new field of usefulness for the airplane, Physicians, life-saving experts and mine-rescue apparatus may be carried through the air to the scene of a mine disaster and many lives may be saved by this quick service. When the airplane has evolved into a medium for the saving of human life, it may indeed be said to have entered the class of the essentially practical-Birmingham Age-Herald. Work of Y. W. C. A. Abroad. Secretries of the newly organized Y. W. C. A. in Krawok, Poland, were surprised recently to have a membership card of the Cleveland (O.) Young Women's Christian association presented to them by a young girl who was on her way to Ameglen. The girl proved to have a sister living in Cleveland who had taken out membership in the International institute of that city, and, then sent the card to the traveler as a guarantee of assistance along the way. Girls as young as twelve and sixteen are passing through the Y. W. C. A. office in Poland on the way to America. Good Work Is Costly. The remarkable difference in prices of tennis rackets is not so much due to the difference in the cost of the raw materials of which they are made as to the kind and amount of labor on their making, says the American Forestry Magazine of Washington. Best tennis rackets are works of art, and the skill of the worker is reflected in the price as much as in any other article belonging to sport and athletics. The Really Terrible Thing.

DIVISION OF NEGRO ECONOMICS ABOLISHED Washington, D. C., May 5.—Regarding the Division of Negro Economics, the Secretary of Labor has made the following announcement: "The so-called Division of Negro Economics has been abolished by the Secretary of Labor largely because there is no such thing as segregating the 'economics' of Negro wage-earners from those of any other race. It is fundamentally un-American to create classes or to recognize classes. Our laws do not distinguish between white men and Negroes or any other class or classes. "It is recognized that there is a race distinction and sometimes it is very convenient to have the assistance of a representative of a race in dealing with the members of that race. So far as labor matters are concerned the race distinction becomes more prominent in the field of collective bargaining when troubles between employers and employees threaten. For that reason a member of the Negro race has been appointed a commissioner of conciliation, who has been detailed to serve wherever the Secretary may feel the need of race representation and to advise the Secretary. "This change in policy so far has been working very satisfactorily. Much valuable information has been gathered regarding pertinent data and statistical information relative to Negro workers and a brief release is now available bearing on the approximate trend of industrial employment and unemployed among Negro toilers. The publications of the Department 'Negro Migration in 1916-1917' and 'The Negro at Work during the World War and during Reconstruction' are still available for free distribution through the Department of Labor, Washington, D.

CHINESE HAVE OWN COURTS Orientalis in This Country Administrator Justice Without Troubling the Regular Tribunals. Completely isolated from any interference from the occidental officers of the law, the Chinese have their own courts of law. Criminals against this code, when punished, are not hulled before the white man's tribunal. As conclusive evidence, examine the dockets of any court, in an attempt to find where one Chinese has issued a complaint against another, say the police. Quick execution, under the busy life of downtown Portland, is said to have been meted out to many men, while miliary shopmen above. At any rate, that is the gist of one of the many tales told about police headquarters concerning Portland Chinatown, by an "muchow" who should know. Most of the police are aware of the suspected existence of the tunnel. The numerous raids against gambling dens, which to the public are more or less routine affairs, are tinged with the thrill of adventure for the police, who wonder which one of their number will be the first to discover one of the entrances to the mythical passageway.
