LIFTING TOO State Historical Society NEW YORK BANKER ALLEGES WIFE HAS AFRICAN BLOOD Has Filed Suit for Divorce from Wife Who Belongs to Prominent and Aristocratic Southern Family OWNER LEE LINE STEAMERS Beverly D. Harris, Vice-President of City National Bank, of New York, Is Man Bringing the Suit. (By Uncle Bennie Brown) New York, October 27—That sometimes the blood that prominent white men in the far south have allowed to flow so freely into the Negro race turns and flows back for a while, is brought to light every now and then when some domestic rupture bares the family secrets. The most recent case of this kind has come to light in the divorce proceedings of Beverly D. Harris, white, prominent southern financier and vice-president of the City National Bank of New York. In his plea for separation now before the Supreme Court here he sets out as one of the allegations that Mrs. Harris misrepresented her parentage and that she is an octooon. The inference is that somewhere in the lineal parentage of Mrs. Harris flows a strain of Negro blood. No white or colored man with any knowledge of intimate social conditions in that section of the South from which the Harris family comes would dare deny the possibility of such a charge, for it would be hard to tell now who has or has not Negro blood in their veins. The known cases come out only where there is some extreme provocation. Owns Lee Line Steamers Before her marriage Mrs. Harris was Miss Eleonor E. Lee, a member of an old Southern family, the main branch of which is the well known Lee family of Memphis, Tenn., owners of the famous Lee Line steamers plying the great Mississippi River. Harris at the time of their marriage was vice-president of the Commercial National Bank of Houston, Texas. Just where the Negro blood flows into the Harris household has not been made clear, but the allegation that she is an octoonor indicates that her grand mother was of Negro descent, the men in the case being white. There have been many cases in the South where notable white men, even governors, have had Negro blood in their veins. There are thousands of colored women in that section who, because of their color, find it harder to remain colored than go along as white. EPISCOPAL CHURCH OF ST.

THE MONITOR RACIAL HATRED SHOWS FANGS IN TENNESSEE Memphis, Tenn., Oct. 27—Racta hatred and segregation has again raised its fanged head here, and as a result colored and white citizens of the South Side, exclusive residence section, are at odds. The trouble began when colored citizens bought homes in the district. Now every effort is being made to drive them away. FACTS YOU OUGHT TO KNOW More than 1,075,331 colored men promptly responded to and were registered under the three Selective Service calls. Santo Domingo speaks Spanish and Haiti uses French as its official language, while 2,000,000 of its Negro peasantry speak a creole language, which, though founded on the French, has become a distinct tongue. Despite the fact that we have often been exploited and guided unwisely and have been the victims of visionary schemes, we have acquired a billion dollars worth of property and have reduced illiteracy among ourselves from 90 to 30 per cent. New York City has a Negro population of 158,098, making it the largest center of Negroes in the Western Hemisphere. New Orleans has had colored people in it almost from the day of its foundation, in 1717. At least since 1769.

GIRL FORCED TO LEAVE CITY Senatobia, Miss... Oct. 27—With her uncle as justice of the peace, a white girl's testimony here resulted in the conviction of her father and another uncle, charged with having killed a colored youth, Walter Henry. As a result, Warren Murphy, the girl's father, must serve a life sentence, while the uncle will have to go to jail, as the state supreme court confirmed the conviction. Following her testimony, which proved the most startling ever heard here, the girl was forced to leave the neighborhood, because of threats of physical violence, but she will be brought back to the next term of the court to give further testimony in other trials on indictments founded on her revelations to the grand jury. Two more young white men, connected with the death of the colored youth, and implicated in the girl's testimony, are yet to be tried. It is thought that the girl's testimony led to the breaking up of one of the most lawless gangs in the entire state. SOME SIGNIFICANT NITAL STATISTICS (By the Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C., Oct. 27—A record low death rate was established last year in the registration areas of the United States, according to an announcement issued by the department of commerce, which gave the 1921 rate as 11.7 per thousand population, as against 13.1 in 1920. The infant mortality rate for 1921 also decreased from 1920 according to the statement, which gave the rate for 1921 as 76 per thousand and 86 per thousand for the previous year. The areas include a population of 70,425,000. The birth rate for 1921 was 24.3 per thousand, as against 23.7 per thousand in 1920. The statement showed 1,714,261 births in the registration areas, 825,511 deaths, of which 128,588 were children under one year. These figures include blacks and whites in the North and the South. In the South the blacks are shown to have a smaller death rate and a higher birth rate than the whites.

JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS, Editor OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1922 WHITE PEOPLE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR RACIAL OUTBREAKS Tuskegee Principal Gives Interesting Sidelights on Racial Viewpoint to Scottish Missionary Conference. SPEAKER GIVEN AN OVATION Dr. Robert Russia Moton Received With Acclaim by Cultured Audience And Makes Favorable Glasgow, Scotland, Oct. 27—Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, delivered the principal addresses before the Scottish Churches Missionary Congress here, Tuesday morning and afternoon. He was given an ovation. Discussing segregation of colored people in the United States Dr. Moton said in part: "The white people are the ruling, controlling, dominating, directing element. They have the best of everything, the best parts of the cities, the best hotels and restaurants, and as a rule, the best schools, colleges and universities. "This is particularly true in America, and when a Negro shows an inclination to be with white people, it is not because he wants to be with white people as such but because he wants to get the best as to land, position, education, comforts, conveniences and protection. We often hear also, the expression that the Negro should stay in his place. It has been my observation that most of the race friction in America is due to the fact that too often white people do not stay in their places. We have many cases on record of outbreaks between the races in America that started in the Negro section of the town. We never hear of such disturbances starting in the white section. "I think I can also make the further observation that the Negroes object to segregation because segregation carries with it the suggestion that the race is inferior and unfit for association with decent people of any other race. "In our country where the separation of the races is practiced, the Negro always suffers. Sometimes an effort has been made to make the public service equal for both races, but those who have the supervision of it, because of lack of interest, or lack of sympathy, or perhaps lack of appreciation of the necessity of careful supervision, have allowed the accommodations to degenerate into places inferior and, in most cases, absolutely unfit for human beings of any race. "In many cases, these places are as menacing to the health and lives of the white race as they are demoralizing, degrading and menacing to the health and lives of the colored people." WARREN BROOKS RETIRED Warren Brooks, for nearly twenty-three years a trusted and highly respected employee at the Army headquarters building, was retired Wednesday by reason of age, having on that date reached the age of 70 years. MAYO SOCIETY GIVEN MOTTO A beautiful framed motto was presented to the Mayo Spiritual Society of Omaha, Mrs. Ella Liverpool, president, at the recent state convention held in Lincoln, by the state president as a mark of appreciation of the work done by the Mayo society.

AN EXPLANATION Some months ago, when The Monitor was in the bankruptcy court, from which it has now been extricated, delinquent subscription accounts were placed by the receiver, Earl A. Edwards, in the hands of a collection agency. Within the last few days, without authorization, this agency has sent out notices to many subscribers on the list whose subscriptions have been paid, threatening them with suits. Persons receiving such notices will please ignore them, and in cases where subscriptions are due, by phoning The Monitor Publishing Company a collector will call. Where there is any question as to indebtedness The Monitor Publishing Company will be pleased to adjust it. We regret that annoyance has been caused many friends of The Monitor by these notices. YOUTH'S MURDER LAID Athens, Ga., Oct. 27—Briggs Carson, white, former university student, was indicted on a charge of murdering Murray White, by the Clarke graud jury last week.

GEORGES CARPENTIER Paris, France, Oct. 27—Georges Carpentier, deposed boxing monarch of France, stated yesterday to Universal Service that the report that his fight with Battling Siki was "fixed" is false. Said Georges: "I deny on my honor that my fight with Siki was arranged or that Siki broke the arrangement by knocking me out." Siki from Amsterdam, Holland, wired as follows: "I demand full investigation of the lying report that was started by a sportsman who lost on Carpentier. I never faked a fight in my life." Another young man who is hustling for votes is Ross L. Shotwell, candidate for Municipal Judge. Mr. Shot well is an enthusiastic republican, as all the Shotwells are; but as the municipal judgeship for which he is aspiring is non-political he will pull a strong vote from all parties. Mr. Shot well is an Omaha boy who has a wide and favorable acquaintance among the colored citizens upon whose enthusiastic support he is strongly relying. Mail your news items to The Monitor.

THE OMAHA BRANCH N.A.A.C.P QUESTIONS LOCAL CANDIDATES Organization Requests Aspirants For United States Senate and Congress to State Their Position on Dyer Bill REPLIES FROM REPUDLICANS Robert Smith Vouches For Howell and Judge Sears Leaves No Doubt as to His Attitude In His In obedience to instructions from the national headquarters of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to ascertain the attitude of political candidates toward the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill in every congressional district and senatorial district in the Union, the Omaha branch has addressed letters to all candidates in this district. Replies have been received from the two Republican candidates for the Senate and House, respectively, R. Beecher Howell and Judge Willis G. Sears. In Mr. Howell's absence, his publicity manager and close personal friend, Robert Smith, clerk of the district court, answers for him. Judge Sears, candidate for Congress, in a tense reply, makes his position plain. The letter sent to Mr. Howell was as follows: Omaha, Neb., Oct. 13, 1922. To the Hon. R. B. Howell, City Hall, Omaha, Neb. Mr. Dan M. Howell. In view of the fact that you are, at the present time making a strenuous campaign for United States Senator and are making known your views on the various issues in which we are severally interested, our Association has taken cognizance of this and is deeply interested to know what your views are on the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill now on the calendar in the United States Senate This bill, if passed, will we hope help to wipe out the barbarous practice of lynching in the United States. May we have a reply from you at your convenience? Thanking you in advance, I am, Yours very cordially, Henry W. Black, Pres. To this was received the following reply: Omaha, Neb., Oct. 21, 1922. Mr. Henry W. Black, 2423 No. 27th Street, Among other letters turned over to me for answer is yours of October 13th to Mr. Howell. Mr. Howell is out in the state campaigning and will be so occupied from now until election day, but it is possible that he may be in the city one day between now and Nov. 7. I am sure, however, that I may say that Mr. Howell will favor the Dyer Bill, or any other measure having for its purpose the abolishment of lynching. Mr. Howell will do everything in his power to preserve all the rights of the individual guaranteed under our Constitution, foremost among which is the right to an orderly trial, properly safeguarded, so that every individual accused of a crime may have his day in Court. Everyone who is familiar with the situation knows that the rule of the mob is just as apt to mean the punishment of the innocent as the guilty. Yours very truly, (Signed) Robert Smith, In Charge of Publicity. P. S. You will perhaps notice by the paper when Mr. Howell is in the city and if you will just call him by phone you will have his answer first hand. The letter sent to Judge Sears was similar, to which he replied: "I have never read that bill, but I am in favor of that legislation. (Signed) W. G. Sears." This places the attitude and position of these two candidates plainly before the public. THE N. A. A. C. P. TO MAKE REPORTS NEXT SUNDAY The Omaha branch of the N. A. A. C.

Russell Taylor, before a fair sized audience. The participants were members of St. Paul's Presbyterian and Pilgrim Baptist choirs. The chorus work was excellent, but much of the solo work could have been decidedly improved. Taken as a whole the rendition was praiseworthy. Miss Frances Gordon as the accompanist was good.

HUSBAND MURDERS WIFE, THEN KILLS SELF ON STREET HUSBAND MURDERS WIFE, THEN KILLS SELF ON STREET Scott Rivers Shoots His Wife at Their Home Sunday Night and Monday Morning His Dead Body Is Found. THE RESULT OF BAD LIQUOR Sunday night about eight o'clock, Madonia Rivers, wife of Scott Rivers, was shot through the heart and killed instantly by her husband at their home, 2236 Charles street. He fled after the shooting. Early Monday morning his body was found at Twenty-eighth and Seward Streets with a bullet hole in his head, with his revolver near his hand. The verdict of the police was suicide. Rivers, who it is alleged had been drinking heavily of late, and was very quarrelsome, had threatened several times to kill his wife. He came home drunk, it is stated Saturday, started a quarrel with Mrs. Rivers' and then threatened to kill her. Sunday night he carried out his threat. The family came from Pensacola, Florida, four years ago. Two months ago Mrs. Rivers returned south to bury her father, her mother having died some years ago. Mrs. Rivers was 29 years old and her husband 35. She is survived by a nine year old daughter, three brothers and a sister. Scott Rivers' parents and other relatives live in Pensacola. His body will be shipped there for burial by the Western Funeral Home. Funeral arrangements for Mrs. Rivers await the arrival of her brother from New York. Mrs. Rivers was a member of the Naomi Court Heroines of Jercho and of Pilgrim Baptist church. NEBRASKA CLOTHING COMPANY EMPLOYS COLORED SOLICITOR Innovation Made by Progressive Firm Which Opens New Avenue of Employment for Race. Messrs Swanson and Holzman, the enterprising proprietors of the well-known and popular Nebraska Clothing Company, Fifteenth and Farnam Sts., have taken a step which will be appreciated by our people. They have employed Calvin Springs as an outside agent and solicitor for the firm at a liberal salary and commission. Mr. Springs, who is well qualified for this position, was endorsed by the Colored Commercial Club. Certain firms in the east have given employment to members of our race in this capacity, but the honor of introducing this experiment in Omaha and thus opening up a new avenue of employment for our race belongs to the Nebraska Clothing Company, which by this wise movement will undoubtedly largely increase its patronage among our people. --- JAPNNESE EDITOR AND NEGRO BANKER EXCHANGE VIEWS Distinguished Visitors From Island Empire Making Study of Social Conditions in the United States. Interview IHleits Important Facts—Demand Made at Versailles—Conference Far-Reaching in Principle Chicago, Ill., Oct. 27.—An interesting conference was held here recently by Umeshiro Suzuki, Tokyo, Member of Parliament, and also one of the leading sugar men of Japan, T. Shirayanagi, Editor of "THE JITSUSEIKATSUHA," the Social Reformers' Review, Tokyo, Tatsu Okada of Kojunsha Club, Tokyo, and Jesse Binga, president of Binga State Bank. The Japanese visitors are studying social conditions, particularly as they affect the Negro in this country. The conference, which was carried on with Mr. Okada acting as interpreter, brought forth the following questions as asked by both the Japanese and colored banker after they had inspected the handsome quarters of the bank. Mr. Binga wanted to know, "What is the attitude of Japanese toward Colored people?" Mr. Suzuki replied: "The best answer to that is the fact that the Japanese government official proposed equality of races at the Versailles Conference. The principle is larger than the particular situation of any special race. There is no discrimination in Japan. All foreigners are on the same basis and are accepted according to their social standing." Mr. Binga recounted the various difficulties which the Negro faces in America—some of his pet phrases being, "The white man is silently withdrawing his Christianity from the Negro. He does not want to share any good thing with him. The white men are so avaricious that they are destroying each other and warring against each other." He said, "there was the Ku Klux Klan pitted against the Jews, Catholics and Negroes. There was capital against labor. And here came the Negro picking up the Cross. The white man was too busy to stop his progress." Mr. Suzuki answered, "The darker races must admit at this particular times the white races are in the lead and it is up to us to secure all of the benefits which might be possible from our contact with them. I feel the development of any race must come from the evolution of the entire group. Of course, there are exceptional individuals who might make spectacular and particular progress, but the whole body must be moved up. I believe that that race makes the greatest growth, white or dark, which gets the greatest outside contact with other races, and therefore acquire the broadest viewpoint." Mr. Suzuki has planned a tour to take in Washington, New York, and various cities in the South, where he hopes to observe conditions at firsthand. The Associated Negro Press representative who sat in on the conference raised the question as to whether or not the Japanese regarded themselves, as has been claimed by Lothropp, Stoddard and other writers, the leaders of the dark races of the world, in their effort to improve their conditions. The distinguished visitor displomatically evaded an answer to the question. Washington, Oct. 27-The Department of Commerce announced recently that the center of Negro population as determined by the Bureau of Census is located in the extreme northwestern corner of Georgia. For the first time in history this center has moved northeast being approximately 9.4 miles farther east and 19.4 miles farther north in 1920 than it was in 1910. The former movements have all been in a southwesterly direction.

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 property without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED MILLO PRESS FIRST IN SERVICE ALL who know The Monitor know that we believe in fair play, and a square deal for everybody. We believe in a fair, manly, open and aboveboard fight for men, convictions and principles. We dislike misrepresentation and will never knowingly be guilty of this offense ourselves even against our opponents, or permit it to be done by others if we can prevent it. For this reason we desire to correct statements that are being given currency and credence by many against Mike Clark, republican candidate for sheriff, concerning his part in the disgraceful Court House riot and barbarous lynching of Sept. 28, 1919, which placed an indelible stain upon this city. We are frank to say that we have a deep seated resentment against the vicious element of this city who were primarily responsible for that riot. We believe that there are men today active in political affairs of the city, who wilfully, maliciously and designed planned that riot. So bitter is our feeling and resentment that we find it difficult to even vote for perhaps good men in whose election some of this element seem to be deeply interested. We cannot conscientiously give them editorial support. We do not, however, believe it is fair to allow anyone to rest under a false charge. Some false charges are being made against Mr. Clark. One of them is that Mr. Clark being warned that a lynching was planned left the city on Saturday so as maliciously false. Mr. Clark left Omaha the Tuesday morning before on a hunting trip, two or three days before the alleged crime of Brown was committed and did not return to Omaha until that fateful Sunday afternoon when the mob was surrounding the jail. So the story of his warning and flight is false. The statement that he did not try to protect the prisoners in his charge is equally untrue. Fire was what did the work. So much for the riot. Another false statement given currency is to the effect that Sheriff Clark refused to appoint a colored man as deputy. Sergeant Bailey did not want a deputyship, but wanted the position on the elevator. This Mr. Clark gave him and underwent a law suit, which was forced on him in a controversy as to who had control of the elevator, to keep Sergeant Bailey there and while the case was in court Sheriff Clark paid Sergeant Bailey's salary out of his own pocket. He gave the man the job he wanted and lent him there despite opposition. In fairness to Sheriff Clark these facts should be known. Our citizens have a perfect right to oppose him or any other candidate on whatever grounds they please, but opposition should not be based upon misrepresentation. The statements to which we have here called attention are undoubtedly misrepresentation, and there fore are not just or fair. FIREARMS THERE ought to be some way by which the general and promiscuous ownership and carrying of firearms should be prevented. Tragedies, here and elsewhere, are becoming all too frequent and they are directly traceable to the readiness with which guns, pistols and revolvers can be obtained. If one has a gun or can easily get one there is a temptation to use it in the excitement of anger. Firearms are too easily obtainable. It is a serious reflection upon our vaunted civilization that their general ownership for personal protection against violence seems imperative. INTELLIGENT VOTERS VOTERS should strive to be intelligent. They should inform themselves, as well as they can, upon the character and ability of the candidates seeking their suffrage and vote according to their convictions. They should also know how to mark their ballot so that they will not lose their ruralized in the United States, on thereof, are citizens of the state wherein they reside. No any law which shall abridge the citizens of the United States; nor person of life, liberty, or prop- law, nor deny to any person real protection of the laws. FAVOR DYER BILL THE local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has addressed a communication to the candidates for United States Senator and Congress ask them their views and position on the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. Replies have been received from Robert Smith, in Mr. Howell's absence, stating that he is very sure that "Mr. Howell will favor the 'Dyer Bill' or any other measure having for its purpose the abolishment of lynching." Judge Sears, republican candidate for congress, writes "I am in favor of that legislation." The other candidates have not yet been heard from. The Monitor urges our people to support candidates who will unequivocally lend their efforts to the support of the Dyer Bill. TO SUBSCRIBERS AND ADVERTISERS WE desire to express our gratitude and thanks to our subscribers, and friends for their loyal support and patronage through the many years of our publication. The Monitor will continue to serve its patrons with even greater efficiency than in the past. Our editorial policy will be maintained with the same sanity, sound judgment, fearlessness and independence which has given The Monitor a commanding place among the rare publications of the country. WHY NOT TRY A CHANGE? WHEN people of a county are so universally dissatisfied with its management, the time has come to make a change. Douglas County has been so badly mismanaged in the past few years that the time is now at hand when the people should voice their feelings at the polls on November 7th, by sweeping the entire court house of political barnacles who have held full sway in their own sweet way. The colored people of this county have many, many grievances over the treatment awarded them in the past, and they owe it to themselves and their families to gather together all of these grievances and march themselves to the election booths and there register their protest, or never hold their peace. The time is come when our people must think for themselves, their strong adherence to any one political party has gone for naught, they have been patted on the back, so to speak, by the olly tongue of the erstwhile politician ever ready to offer an alibi for the shortcomings of their administration of an office which we have elected them to, under promises that a "party collar" be discarded and their office run in the Mik Mike Clark Republican Candidate for SHERIFF and keep a Colored Man on the Sheriff's Force interests of all the people. Has this been done? Mr. Colored Man, recapitulate for yourself the many persecutions thrust upon our people and then determine whether or not you will vote to demand a change. Many good men are running for election and re-election but it does not seem quite fair to give anyone a perpetual lease on county offices and as the old saying is a true one, A New Broom Sweeps Clean," it is quite apropos in choosing your candidates for election a few days hence.

Curran and Adam Sloup, seeking election as County Commissioners, who stand upon a platform of assurance to the people that they will stop the extravagance, lower the taxes and put a real man in every job.

Hackley Lawson ACME HAIR GROWER has done for them. Omaha, Neb., Sept. 18, 1922. Enough can not be said of Madam E. Hackley Lawson's wonderful Hair Grower. I was very much discouraged with the many hair oils until better than one year ago I began Madam Lawson's treatment which has proven a success, for my hair was then three inches long and breaking harsh and falling with an itching scalp. But now I have an abundant growth of hair, ten inches long, with a healthful scalp, owing to the wonderful Acme Hair Grower—MRS. A. BALDWIN, 2225 North 26th Street. Write or Call Madam E.
