MEN RESCUED FROM LYNCHERS BY SOLDIERS FOUND INNOCENT BY TENNESSEE JURY JUDGEES BOYS SHARE ESTATE OF THE FATHER Woman Tearfully Admits Illicit Relations With Her Employer Whom She Claims is the Father of Two Children HAS INVALID HUSBAND LIVING Topeka, Kans., Mar. 24.—"My husband is an invalid," tearfully explained Mrs. Adie Notling, white, in Judge Whitcomb's division of the District Court recently, explaining her reason for mating with James Holt, a deceased colored man who died in 1919. Prosecuting lawyers made Mrs. Notling explain to the jury why she left her invalid husband at home in order to bear two children for Holt. On the witness stand Mrs. Notling claimed two half white boys, Melvin and James Notling, as her sons and testified that she had been intimate with James Holt, upon whose farm in the northeastern corner of Shawnee county she worked for several years and up until the time of his death. Her husband lived at home at that time, and is still living, although an invalid, she said. She said that no one knew of her relations with the colored man until the two babies were born. The two youths brought suit, thru their mother, against Thomas Holt, the son of James Holt by his colored wife, and Myrtle Smith, Bessie Porter and Lucretia Barber, granddaughters of James Holt. The youths claimed that James Holt, who died in 1919, was their father and that they were entitled to a share of his property. Photographs of Mr. and Mrs. Nolting and their seven children and of the two half white boys were introduced in evidence to prove to the jury that the youngest sons were colored. The court decreed the half-white boys to be the owners each of an undivided one-fourth interest in the estate, thereby recognizing them as legal heirs. DEMPSEY'S MANAGER ACCEPTS OFFER New York, Mar. 24.—The offer of Harry Frazee, owner of the boston Red Sox of the American Baseball League, of $350,000 to Jack Dempsey as his share of the purse for a match between the latter and Harry Wills, has met with favor in the eyes of Jack Kearns, manager of Dempsey. Kearns is reported as saying that they are out for the coin and that if Frazee is in earnest, all he has to do is to draw up the guarantee documents properly signed and he will attach his own "Johnny Hancock" instanter. WANT TEXT BOOKS REMOVED Atlanta, Ga., Mar. 24.—Junior Order of American Mechanics, white has protested the use of "Human Interests Library" books in the public schools. The reason assigned is that the books assert that Robert E. Lee ran away from General Grant, and Abraham Lincoln is quoted as saying that he considered the Negro his equal. HOWARD MEDICAL IS POPULAR WITH FAIR SEX Washington, Mar. 24—Thirty-seven young women are enrolled in the Howard Medical School studying medicine, dentistry and pharmacy. A large number of them met recently and formed the Rho Psi Phi Medical Sorority, a sorority of girls in medical schools only. KERLIN ASKS $50.000 Lexington, Va., Mar. 24—Colonel Robert T. Kerlin, former member of the faculty of the Virginia Military Institute, has entered suit against the school for $50,000 damages. He was dismissed by the faculty for writing letters appealing for justice to colored people. BARBARA FRITCHIE'S NEEKHOR DEAD St. Louis, Mo., Mar. 24—Mrs. Christine Walsh, 78, who was born in Frederick, Md., and was present when Barbara Fritchle waved the Stars and Stripes from her window as Gen. Lee passed, which Whittier later immortalized in his poem, died here last week. She had resided here more than 50 years. N. Y. VOTERS WARN PARTY N. Y. VOTERS WARN PARTY New York, Mar. 24.—New York County Colored Republicans have sent a resolution to the county com- mittee urging greater representation and the naming of colored leaders. Willingness of the Democrats to offer patronage led to large numbers of colored people voting the Democratic ticket for Mayor Hylan in the last election. THE MONITOR FUNERAL OF MRS. LATTIMORE The body of Algernon Marie Pryor Lattimore, accompanied by her husband, Matthew Lattimore and her cousin, Ernest Cox, arrived from Brooklyn, N. Y., where she died last Wednesday, Sunday afternoon and was taken in charge by Silas Johnson of the Western Funeral Home. The funeral services were held from the Episcopal church of St. Philip the Deacon, in which the deceased was baptized in her infancy and subsequently confirmed, Monday morning at ten o'clock, the Rev. John Albert Williams, the same priest who had received her into the church in infancy, officiating. The church was redolent with the fragrance of the abundance of flowers sent by friends; notable among the many floral tributes being a large pillow from the Omaha Chamber of Commerce, of which her father, E. W. Pryor, has for many years been an honored employee. Two large bouquets of calla illies sent by other friends were in the altar vases. The service was the simple but beautiful burial ritual of the Episcopal church, with the hymns, "On the Resurrection Morning," "Jesus Lives," and "Asleep in Jesus." Interment was in the family lot at Forest Lawn beside her mother. A tent, which is a wise innovation at Forest Lawn, erected over the grave protected the mourners from the inclement weather during the committal, Mr. Johnson being the first one of our undertakers to have this wise devise used. The pailbearers were Mrs. Lattimore's only brother, Ellsworth P. Pryor, her three cousins, Drs. Clarence H. and John Andrew Singleton, and Ernest Cox; and Dr. Craig Morris and W. G. Haynes. Mrs. Lattimore is survived by her husband, her father, Ellsworth W. Pryor, her brother, Ellsworth P., and several other relatives, among whom an aunt, Mrs. M. F. Singleton, is a resident of Omaha. KLUXIES KEEP KLUKING Washington, Mar. 24. "The Bumble Bee," official organ of the Ku Klux Klan, alleged to be published in the Brownley building, made its appearance at the nation's capital last week. It deals with the color question entirely, every article referring to social equality, inter-marriage, etc. On the first page is a cartoon of a colored boy and white girl going to school hand-in-hand with a shadow of Abraham Lincoln over them. Under the cartoon is printed: "Freedom, Yes. But Not This." The cartoon is designed to ridicule the idea of public school libraries being used jointly by white and colored children. NO LIBERTY—NO CELEBRATION Columbus, Ohio, Mar. 24.—Untess William Moore, Jr., prisoner in the Ohio penitentiary, is released by April 27, the little red schoolhouse at Point Pleasant, Ohio, which Ulysses S. Grant attended as a boy, will take no part in the 100th birthday anniversary of Grant. Moore has refused to enter into negotiations for the sale of the old schoolhouse, which stands on his land near Point Pleasant, until he has been pardoned or paroled. He is serving an indeterminate sentence for aiding in the escape of prisoners from county jail, but he protests his innocence. ANNUAL QUIET DAY The Rev. Wilbur Scranton Leeter, rector of St. Luke's church, Plattsmouth, will conduct the annual "Quie Day" for women at the Church of St Philip the Deacon, Twenty-first near Paul street, next Thursday, March 30.

PONCI EMPLOYS LEWIS Washington, Mar. 24.—When Ponci Boston's alleged million dollar faked appeared before the United States Supreme Court in an effort to escape the commonwealth after a federal indictment, he was represented by William H. Lewis, one of Boston's best known colored lawyers and former United States Assistant Attorney General. GEORGIA LYNCHES ANOTHER Atlanta, Ga., Mar. 24—While Congress debates the anti-lynching bill, Georgia added another lynching last week.

RECORDER OF DEEDS FORMALLY INDUCTED INTO HIS OFFICE New Incumbent is Sworn in by Assis tant Clerk of the District Supreme Court and is Welcomeed by Employees WOMAN DELIVERS WELCOME Recorder Froe Makes Pleasing Reply. Ambitious to be National Helper Rather than header. Favor Better Salaries. Washington, March 24.—Arthur G. Froe, recently appointed. United States Recorder of Deeds by President Harding, was inducted into his office with ceremonies which marked the good will of the Republican administration, the West Virginia members of Congress and the employees on the office of the United States Recorder of Deeds. Mr. Froe was sworn into office by William E. Williams, assistant clerk of the District Supreme Court. Among those present at the ceremony were Chief Deputy Recorder Robert W. Dutton, who was appointed by the late John C. Dancy, and the retiring Recorder John F. Costello. After being sworn in Mr. Froe was taken to his private office, where the entire staff was introduced to him. The office of the United States Recorder of Deeds occupies four floors of the Century Building in Washington, D. C. and has a staff of over 50 people. A great number of the staff are colored people who have been in the government service a long time. Woman Delivers Welcome Following the introduction, Deputy Recorder Dutton, on behalf of the employees of the department presented Mr. Costello, the retiring Recorder, with a silver tray. Following that Mrs. M. L. Wright, one of the staff of the office, on behalf of the employees, delivered an address of welcome to Mr. Free and presented him with a large basket of American Beauty roses. Mr. Free, in his response, praised the efficiency of the work done in the office and said that he would endeavor to live up to the high standard set in the office by the Hon. John C. Dancy, Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson and others who held the position of Recorder of Deeds. "I shall endeavor to conduct the work of the office with credit to the cause and the race which I represent," said Mr. Free. "There is no desire upon my part to be a national leader; I only wish to be a national helper. We are passing through a serious period in the history of our country and there is a great amount of serious work that must be done. In performing this task there must be a spirit of unity. --- The people will find that I believe in upstanding manhood and womanhood. Call on me at any time for anything which I am able to do. I will be very glad to cooperate." Wants Larger Salaries Mr. Free deplored the small salaries paid to the government employees in the office and said one of his missions would be to assist in bettering the salary conditions. He announced that for the present there would be no changes in the organization staff. Mr. Free's day prior to h is taking the oath of office was a busy one. Upon arriving in Washington he first went to the office of Congressman Goodykoontz of the Fifth West Virginia district, which is the home of Mr. Free. There he was greeted by Congressmen Goodykoontz, Cooper and others and was taken to the United States Supreme Court where upon motion of Congressman Goodykoontz he was admitted to practice before that body. They then visited the offices of Senators Elkins, Davis and Howard-Sutheland of West Virginia, both of whom had joined with Congressman Goodykoontz in urging Mr. Free's selection. The West Virginia delegation joined in extending congratulations and best wishes to Mr. Free. BAPTIST WOMEN HOLD INTERESTING MEETING A splendid program, under the leadership of Mrs. M. H. Wilkinson, president of the Nebraska Women's Home, Foreign and Educational Convention, was given in Zion Baptist church last Sunday afternoon at which time women from Mt. Moriah, Zion, Pilgrim and Bethel Baptist churches made the hearts of the president and officers glad. The ministers who were present and took part in the program were the Rev. Messrs. Bottis, Crum, Franklin, Taggart, Wilkinson and Condelee. Much joy was expressed that the Baptist women are "trying to take Nebraska for the Baptists and Christ." The board meets in an all day session next Tuesday at Mt. Zion Baptist church, Lincoln. "On to Lincoln, Baptist people," is the slogan.

GOLONEL YOUNG'S REMAINS WILL REST IN AMERICAN SOIL GOLONEL YOUNG'S REMAINS WILL REST IN AMERICAN SOIL War Department Officially Notify Widow of Lamented and Idolized Officer that Body Will be Brought Home. PLANJPERMANENT MEMORIAL Present and Former Military Men Are Desirous of Furnishing Funds For Erection of Monument in Ardmore, Cemetery Washington, March 24—Mrs. Ada Mill Young, of Wilberforce, Ohio, widow of the late Colonel Charles Young, has been officially notified by the War Department that, upon her request, the remains of her husband will be brought to the United States for final burial. Negotiations have been started by the government through the State Department, and the Liberian government, to this end. Mrs. Young has been informed that the arrangement will require several months, but upon arrival in America, under direction of the U. S. Government, the body will be brought to Washington, for final interment in Arlington Cemetery, the "City of the soldier dead,"—the highest tribute to a departed military man. The magnificent nationwide memorial tributes and services to honor Colonel Young's achievements, occurring March 12th, his birthday, attest the popular hold this military hero has on the minds of the American people. Throughout the entire country hundreds of thousands of people turned out to do honor to the great hero of the hour. It was an occasion that will go down in history, and steps are already under way to make the celebration of March 12th, an annual national event for Colored Americans. Great Military Funeral Preparations are under way now for one of the greatest military funerals ever held in America, when Col. Young's remains arrive from Africa. There will probably be two services, one in New York and one in Washington. Both of them will be truly gigantic, in the method of arrangement Vol. VII—No. 38 and the occasion will be marked with a solemnity of affection that will never be forgotten. Plans for the parade in Washington will include both military and civic organizations. There will be in the line of march, representatives from every war—the Colonel's father was a Civil War veteran. There will be service men from all the forty-eight States, representation from all the Regular Army regiments of Color, the Eighth Regiment of Chicago, and the Fifteenth of New York. Fraternal organizations, school organizations and civic bodies will have a place in the march to Arlington. Permanent Memorial The Associated Negro Press has learned that it is the desire of present and former military men to furnish the funds with which to erect the monument in Arlington Cemetery. There is another afoot to raise funds by popular subscription for the erection of an equestrian statue of Colonel Young in one of the public squares of Washington. A Charles Young Memorial Association will probably be formed for this latter purpose. There has been a great demand for pictures and photographs of Colonel Young. It is understood from reliable authority that Dr. W. E. B. DuBois will probably write the story of the Colonel's life, and the Douglas Specialties Company of Chicago has the finest assortment of pictures of the great soldier. Y. W. C. A. NOTES The Seventh Biennial Convention on the Young Women's Christian Association will be held at Hot Springs, Ark., April 20th to 27th. The North Side Branch hopes to send two delegates to represent the Association of Omaha. The ladies of the various committees are devising plans by which they may be able to raise funds to meet the expenses of the delegates. The House Committee, under the chairmanship of Mrs. R. T. Walker, will entertain with a "Trip Around the World" Monday, March 27th, from 5:30 to 8 p. m. A splendid dinner will be served for the small sum of 35 cents. Come and help the ladies in their effort and also help Omaha to be represented at the National Convention. The Mothers' Club presented the "Y" with a beautiful wicker side desk and chair for the convenience of the girls and guests in writing letters. The Association wishes to express deep appreciation for the kind thoughts and wonderful spirit which prompted the gift as well as the gift itself. The Center is very attractive with the many beautiful decorations and gifts and is a credit to the girls and women of Omaha. Come and enjoy its comforts and pleasures. Visitors always welcome. ONE OF COLONEL YOUNG'S (Associated Negro Press) The following remarkable poem was written by Colonel Charles Young, and was found among the Colonel's effects by Capt. H. O. Atwood, who furnished it to the Associated Negro Press. It has never previously been published. Capt. Atwood states that Col. Young wrote more than 200 poems, some set to music of his own composition. A Trooper's Burial Unto your new grave's verge With measured steps and slow To Chopin's funeral dirge, Your sad faced comrades go.

No lies or cant are there: They face their God like men! Put on the earth of sleep, While tearful taps resound, Not eyes but hearts there weep Beside your new made mound.

ESSEE JURY FOUR COLORED MEN ARE ACQUITTED OF CHARGE OF MURDER Men Who Escaped Lynching by Time- ly Arrival of Troops Are Freed of Crime Following Their Trial by Jury. MEN ARE PROVEN INNOCENT Dyersburg, Tenn., March 15.—The murderer murderers of Robert Burkett, well known white farmer of this county last December, go unpunished and at large. The four young Negro men, Edward and Ernest Scott, Will Wiggins and Ruck McCutcheon, who narrowly escaped lynching shortly after the killing, when they were arrested charged with the murder, were allowed to go free following a trial by jury which lasted eight days here. Public sentiment, and even Mrs. Burkett, widow of the murdered man, favored freeing the accused Negroes. Two of the accused men admitted on the witness stand that they told the mob that they had killed the farmer, but stated that they made the confession under threats of death from the mob members. But for the timely arrival of troups to the Dyersburg jaid by Governor Taylor, shortly after the killing, the entire number of Negro prisoners would have been lynched. GARVEY WANTS GHANDI RELEASED BY BRITISH New York City, Mar. 24—Cablegrams were sent from Marcus Garvey to Lloyd George in London and to India newspapers urging the release of Ghandi, the Indian revolutionist. The cable to the King of England reans: "George V, King of England, Buckingham Palace, London. "Sire: Four hundred million Negroes ask for the release of Mahatma Ghandi, the freedom of India, and the complete liberation of the African Colonies, including the Nigerians, Gold Coast, Sierra Leone, East and Southwest Africa. We believe there shall be an abiding peace only when all peoples are treated fairly. We respect and honor your race. We expect you to do likewise to others. "MARCUS GARVEY, Provisional Pres. of Africa." HAS THIRTY POLICEMEN New York, Mar. 24.—The appointment of five new colored patrolmen who graduated from the Police School at the 63rd Street Armory, brings the total number of colored cops in the 38th precinct of the city up to 30.

CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES. Citizenship Rights Not to Be Abridged. 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or prop- erty without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its iurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. e GPX, ‘ CE.) =i ay HOME OWNERSHIP THE Publicity Bureau of the Oinaha Chamber of Commerce is doing excellent work in furnishing to the public important facts and data con- cerning this great city. This infor- mation will not only attract desirable citizens who are seeking new locations but will also fill the hearts of present citizens with a special pride and deep- er interest in the city of which they form part of a progressive, indus- trious and intelligent population. It will surprise many to learn thai Omaha stands fourth among Ameri. can cities in its pereentage of home ownership. Nearly one-half of the residents of Omaha own their own homes. Only three cities in the Unit ed States outrank this city, and the highest of these surpasses it by only three per cent. Omaha’s percentage of home owners is 48.4%. This is a splendid showing. And it is grat fying to note that among the colored population of Omaha, who form one- sixth of the total population, the ratic ‘of home owners and home buyers is ‘exceptionally high. Home ownership mukes for good citizenship.’ Judged by this standard Omaha nas just rea: gon to be proud. Omaha is a good city in which to live and all right ‘minded people should unite their en- ergies in making it a better one. \ RECIPROCITY Last week the Monitor took occasion to call the attention of our readers to the fact that North ‘Twenty-Pourth street merchants who have a tremen- dous patronage from our people do not tote fair either in the matter of giving our people employment, where they are in a position to do s0, nor in giving our well-established _publica- tions a reasonably just proportion of advertising. We spoke particularly of North Omaha merchants because of the tremendous volume of trade they secure from our group. There are other merchants, institutions and corporations, of whom we shall speak later, from whom we should receive substantial recognition. Let us have reciprocity. We intend to be specific and give the names of those to whom we should throw our united support and patronage. We should patronize ‘only those who patronize us. Reci- procity, ,please. Tote fair, that's all we ask. DOING GOOD WORK QOUTHERN Dailies of influence like the News of Greenboro, N.

The better element of the Southern peopte haye tolerated too long the lynchoerat while the newspapers of that seetion have either upheld the mobs or been apologetic in tone. It means the dawn af a better day when influentral ‘moulders of public sentiment like the Greensboro News have the courage to ‘turn on the light and demand that the white men of respectability and vision in the South stand by the law and against the lawless irresponsible ‘class who trample the law under foot.

VALUE A GOOD NAME ALL people should prize as one of their chiefest possessions a good name. One can only have a good name, by striving earnestly and faithfully to do always such -things as are right. With the many ob- stacles we have to overcome one of the most helpful agencies we can em- ploy will be a chfiracter above re- proach. Our conduct is the index of ‘our character.

Burckhardt, Pastor Sunday was a quiet dfy in church cireles on the South Side, It was snowing some Sunday morning but not not enough to prevent one who had religion from going to church. We are the only race of people in the ‘world whose religion is affected by the weather. Our League is starting out well under the presidency of Mrs. Carter. The Sunday evening service was fairly well attended and the pro- gram was mueh enjoyed, Our Wo- men’s Day Rally is on and we feel confident of success; for women do things these days. Our sick folk are progressing reasonably well, amone VITALLY IMPORTANT THAT SUBSCRIBERS PAY Good Friends, we took you into our confidence two weeks ago and told you that we had to raise a substantial sum of money by MARCH 10, to pay a long over-due obliga- tion to our printer. We urged Delinquent Subscribers to pay up or, if unable to pay in full to send us something on account. Some subscribers responded, but only a few. We thank all who paid for their prompt response. We did not begin to receive enough to pay this pressing obligation. We, therefore, make another appeal, and hope all who owe us will realize how impossible it will be for us to corttinue publication unless we are able to pay our bills and we cannot pay our bills unless YOU PAY US. If you can’t find the bill we sent you, look at the key number on the pink label on your paper. That tells the date to which you are paid, If the key is, for example “7-1-21”, it means that your subséription expired July 1, 1921, and you owe The Monitor $2.00 in good money. Please Pay.

HERE IS WHERE IT'S MADE KAFFIR CHEMICAL LABORATORIES KAFFIR CHEMICAL LABORATORIES OMAHA-A CITY OF HOMES (Second of a series of articles prepared by the Publicity Bureau) Nearly half of the people who live in Omaha—48.4%—own homes. Only three cities in the United States show a larger percentage, the highest being 51.1%. In addition to its large number of home owners, Omaha has the added advantage of being without slums and tenements. The latest census shows a total of 44,799 homes owned by Omahans. Of this number 22.8% were entirely free from debt. There were 41,520 families. Of this number 19,099 owned their homes, 5,000 lived in apartments and 4,000 in flats. The average cost of homes is estimated at $5,000 each. The annual increase of home ownership in Omaha during the last twenty years has been steady and rapid. In 1900, 27.7% of the population owned homes. In 1910 the number had increased to 39.8%. Between 1900 and 1920 there was a gain of 20.7%. Omaha's annual gain in home ownership has been higher and steadier than that of any of the three leading cities, advancing at a rate of approximately $1\%$ a year in the last two decades. Of the three cities which have a higher percentage of home ownership than Omaha, the first increased $12.6\%$ in the last 20 years, the second $8.8\%$, and the third $6.4\%$. Every indication points toward Omaha taking first place within the next three or four years. Where nearly half of the total population own the homes in which they live and where the average value per home is $5,000, it is evident that a great many of the homes are owned by people of medium financial standing. This condition is largely responsible for the absence of slums and tenements in Omaha. While the rich residences in the suburbs attest the wealth of the city, thousands of smaller dwellings give proof of the well-being of Omaha's salaried and wage-earning class. Omaha's 13 public playgrounds, its 23 parks, municipal bathing beach, tennis courts and golf courses., its 170 churches and the fact that 90% of its children attend public schools, are further evidence of the well-being of family life in the city. Men purchase homes only in cities in which they have confidence. Those who own homes own part of a city. They represent that city when they do business. Those who deal with Omaha are likely to be dealing with home owners. SULTOX FOR COLDS There is a great deal of pneumonia and many deaths from pneumonia. A very simple remedy that gives speedy relief is Sultox, manufactured by the Kaffir Chemical Laboratories. Hot pack treatment with Sultox and internal doses of Sultox is a speedy and effective remedy for colds, congestion of the lungs and similar maladies so prevalent at this time. Ask your druggist for Sultox, if he cannot supply, phone Douglas 7074 or call at or write Kaffit Chemical Laboratories, 817 North Sixteenth street, Omaha, Neb. Large bottle, $1.00.
