LIFTING LIFT TOO 5e a Copy $2.00 a Year. 5c a Copy HOTEL PROPRIETOR MURDERED BY AN OKLAHOMA MOB Man Who Employs Negro Porter Pays With His Life for Opposling Sentiment of Benighted Community. EDITOR SCORES RACE HATREB Incident May Awaken General Public Attention Favorable to Dyer Measure Now Pending in Congress. Oklahoma City, Okla., Dec. 27.—The sad plight of supposed super civilization manifested itself in a very uncivilized manner last Tuesday when a mob formed and killed A. W. Birch, a prominent hotel owner (white) and seriously wounded Robert Jerigan, an employee whom Birch attempted to protect. The mob was unmasked and composed of more than a score of men, who went to the hotel where Jerrian was employed 3 days before and shot Birch down when he attempted to persuade them to desist from their attempt to lynch Jerigan. It is said that Marlow is one of the several small towns in Oklahoma, which have not permitted a Negro to settle in their vicinity, and not to remain in town after night fall. It is said that on Saturday Birch brought Jernigan to his hotel as ported. A letter was sent to Birch ordering him to discharge the Negro and send him out of the town. Birch ignored the letter. The mob went to the hotel and called loudly for Jernigan and stated their intention of lynching him on the spot. Birch with Jernigan at his side hurried into the lobby of the hotel to intercede, but was shot dead before he could speak, and Jernigan fell, critically wounded. Mrs. Birch told state officials that she thought she could identify the man who killed her husband. The civil authorities of Stephens county are combing the surrounding country in a search for Marvin Kincannon, aged 20 years, wanted in connection with the slaying of Birch and wounding of Robert Jernigan. Kincannon has been accused by Mrs. Birch as being the leader of the mob that killed her husband in an attempt to lynch Jernigan. Kansas City Times Scorns Race Hatred Commenting on the deplorable condition in a supposedly civilized country such a dastardly deed is perpetrated the Kansas City Times says editorially under the caption: "The Harvest of Race Hatred." "The death at the hands of a mob of a white man and a Negro at Marlow, Okla., is the logical outcome of the racial prejudice that had gained headway in that town. Marlow is said to be one of several small Oklahoma towns that have refused to allow Negroes to live within their boundaries. When a Negro went to Marlow and engaged in honest labor, he was shot down, along with his employer, who was trying to protect him. "Such lawlessness and racial antagonism are utterly un-American. Any man, regardless of race, has a right to live in any town so long as he conducts himself properly and is lawabiding. When he becomes an unsafe person in the community, it is the duty of constituted authorities, and not a mob, to take action. Racial hatred and discrimination breed strife and lawlessness; they have their origin in ignorance and a false conception of right. Any community that sows the wind of racial hatred may expect to reap the whirlwind of violence and mob rule." May Help Dyer Bill It is believed by proponents of the Dyer Anti-Lynching measure that this Oklahoma incident may arouse public attention to such degree as to secure favorable action in Congress on the Dyer Bill. It is believed that the death of a prominent white man will cause persons heretofore, not interested in the measure to give serious thought to the diabolical consequences that could be allayed, if not avoided by the enactment of this measure into a national law. Washington, Dec. 28.—On Thursday, Friday and Saturday, December 27, 28 and 29, the American Negro Academy which has for its object the promotion of literature, science and art, the fostering of higher education, the culture of a form of intellectual taste, the publication of scholarly works, and the defense of the Negro against vicious assault, holds its annual meeting in this city. THE MONITOR RACE MINISTERS JOIN WHITES TO AID IN SUPPRESSION OF CRIME (Preston News Service.) Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 27.—The Colored ministers here took an active part in the unified campaign in co-operation with legal authority against lawlessness and violation of the prohibition laws. The ministers pledged themselves to do all possible in the pulpit and in private life to check the enormous crime wave that is sweeping the entire country and especially in this vicinity. It was pointed out at the general meeting of the ministers that conditions in Atlanta are no worse than in other cities of the same size, but "there is too much crime and disregard for law and it is time for the best people, ministers, laymen, and members of all races and sexes to put up a concerted effort to suppress crime" declared the pastor of Big Bethel A. M. E. Church. TENANT FARMER BATTLES 1,000 MEN Accounts for Twelve Before Falling Victim to Machine Gun Fire. (Crusader Service.) Drew, Miss., Dec. 28.—Three whites were shot to death, another is believed to be dead and seven were wounded—two of them seriously—when a white posse rk amuck in a man hunt for Joe Pullen, Colored tenant farmer, who had fatally wounded W. T. Sanders, white, on whose farm he slaved, in an argument over $ debt Sanders claimed was owed him by his tenant farmer. Sanders was shot through the heart and instantly killed when he went to Pullen's cabin to resume the argument over the alleged debt, and R. L. Metheven was shot to death as he approached a ditch in which Pullen had taken refuge. A posse of approximately 1,000 men joined in the man hunt, but this impressive force dwindled considerably when it was found that Pullen intended to sell his life dearly. One by one Pullen dropped his pursuers from ambush, and by the time he reached his last stand in the drainage ditch had accounted for eleven. His twelfth man fell while aiding in placing a machine gun that had been brought up to rid the thousand to defeat the one. The fight ended at 1 a. m. after the posse had brought up a machine gun and poured a withering fire into the drainage ditch where Pullen had intrenched himself in his last stand, and four of the posse had braved his unerring fire to storm his position.

LEAGUE ASKING CONGRESS- MEN TO URGE PRESIDENT TO PARDON SOLDIERS Proposed United Race Audience Conducted by League and N. A. A. C. P. Boston, Mass., Dec. 22, 1923.—Noting the reports by the Associated Press that the President contemplates hearing the petitions of the N. A. A. C. P. and others for the release of the Colored soldier prisoners in the not distant future, the National Equal Rights League, which petitioned President Coolidge in person in the White House for their delease and for other redress pn October 6th, and which has been waging a resolution campaign to secure these pardons, since, has decided to request every Northern Congressman and Senator to urge the President to grant pardons to the 54 soldiers at Fort Fortenworth, Kansas. It urges race individuals to write to their own Congressmen. W. M. Trotter on Monday reached the N. A. A. C. P. with a proposal for an united race audience with the President, to be conducted jointly by the Association with its big petition and the League with resolutions from various bodies, etc., and suggested that a representative of the Association and one of the League at Washington jointly secure this audience in behalf of a Christmas pardon, the dey for pardons, citing the pardon last Saturday of the war-objector prisoners at Leavenworth. The League suggested that all interested national organizations join in the pleas made. This specific proposition for united action under the Colored and the mixed national bodies jointly which have been the two doing direct work and leading for these pardons, was rejected by Secretary J. Weldon Johnson, as to dates and method. The League declares that there is no racial disunion in any and every organization and individual appealing to the President directly to pardon the soldiers, unity in the object desired being all that is needed. The League also denied using any blanksheet petitions to be published in newspapers or aught save individual cards in mass meetings arranged by its National Organizer. Political pressure through various channels is urged as well as combined action under one organization. Everybody and every body write or telegraph to everybody in power or with influence and sign everything for pardon for these soldiers, is the League's advice to the ace. r PLANTATION CONCERT A unique entertainment in the form of a Plantation Concert will be given by the Ladies' Improvement Club of Council Bluffs at Tokio Hall, 138% West Broadway, Friday, January 4.

Los Angeles, Calif., Dec. 27.—Mrs. Helen La Maie, wife of Elsier La Maie, a motion picture and theatrical man, alleges in her complaint in a suit for divorce that her husband tried to sell her to Lou Harris Baker, a wealthy Negro of Juarez, Mexico. It is stated that Mrs. La Maie and Baker were friendly and that her husband was also friendly with a wealthy widow, Mrs. Mary Ella Howe Holder, of Dallas, Tex., and noting the apparent friendship existing between Mrs. La Maie and Baker, it is claimed that La Maie proposed to his wife that since Baker was madly in love with her $500,000 could be secured from Baker for her. It is claimed that at the time the proposal was made the woman raised no strenuous objections, but when she became suspicious that her husband was endeavoring to get rid of her so he could marry the wealthy Texas woman Mrs. La Maie filed suit for divorce. Hearing on the case will be held at the next term of court it is said. ACTIVE ALICE LAWLOR Soubrette with "Bathing Beauties", the big musical show selected to stage the extra midnight show at the popular Gayety. Matinee every day. ASSISTANT CHIEF CLERK Mr. John D. Gainey, assistant chief clerk at large of the Railway Mail Service, whose headquarters are in Washington, D.

He has been given special oversight of the 22,000 Negroes who are in the postal service. While here he was the guest of Dr. and Mrs. W. W. Peebles. TAYLOR BEATS SIKI Jack Taylor, Omaha light-heavy, broke very much into the limelight Christmas afternoon when he received the referee's decision over Battling Siki, the singular Sengalese, in a ten-round battle at Boston. Taylor has rounded into one of the most promising fighters in the country and has been going good in the east for some time, and now plains are being laid to bring him to Omaha in the near future as a main eventer in one of the shows. A fight between him and Siki would draw here like a plaster. The Monitor is glad to hear of Taylor's signal success in the ring. TINY HERMAN TO MEET YOUNG JACK McAULLIFFE HI Theodore Roosevelt Post, American Legion, to Stage Big Show at Auditorium, Janu- ary 4th. MONROE IN SEMI-FINAL Theodore Roosevelt Post, American Legion, promoting the Tiny Herman-Jack McAuliffe fight at the City Auditorium, Friday, January 4th, are laying plans for one of the biggest fictic carnivals ever held in Omaha, when these two heavies meet in the squirred ring. There has been a demand for some time that Herman, Omaha's heavy-weight, meet the Detroit boy, McAuliffe, and this fight will be the culmination of many arguments as to the calibre of the two men who were once matched at the Garden in New York, the bout being cancelled just before show date. Daily newspapers report that bad blood exists between the men, saying that they very nearly staged a free battle in the cast some time ago—and should this be the case a real battle is scented. The Gans-Schlaifer fight a short time ago in Omaha was proclaimed by fans and newspapers in general to be one of the best goes ever staged here and Herman and the Detroiter will have to get up and travel to keep up the good work. Battling Monroe, local colored middle-flash, will meet Chuck Lambert of St. Paul, in the semi-final. Lambert is known in his country as a K. O. king, having persuaded several good boys to kiss the rosined canvas. Monroe is going good, and although he has not been looked over a whole lot, he has made a good showing both times in Omaha. Both wins were by the K. O. route, the latest battle being when he stopped Carl Augustine with a punch. The preliminaries all will be good, one being between Big Munn of Sloux City and Johnny Lee, the Valentino of the ring. This ought to be "good". All in all, it looks good, and it will be the first fight staged in Omaha under the direct promotion of the colored people, and all should attend the fight. Tickets will be at popular prices at regular places. WASHINGTON MARKET NOW OPEN FOR BUSINESS The New Washington Market, a firm whose advertisement appears in this issue, has just opened an up-to-the-minute, well-stocked store at 1201 North Twentyfourth street, near Nicholas street, where they specialize in country produce, meats and groceries.

Whole Number 442 EXTRADITION OF MAN TO GEORGIA HALTED BY JUDGE (Preston News Service.) Trenton, N. J., Dec. 27.—The extradition of Silas Panmore, charged with killing I. Jefferson Williams, chief of police of Iron City, Ga., last May, was halted Wednesday afternoon after Governor Silzer had announced his determination to honor an application from Governor Walker of Georgia. A writ of habeas corpus was allowed by Vice-Chancellor Buchannan. It is said that Governor Silzer decided to allow the extradition after being assured by the southern executive that Panmore would be given a fair trial, which was the main point of resistance offered by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. According to counsel for Panmore, the man knew nothing of the crime of which he was accused until ten days after it occurred. It was claimed that Panmore was a rather successful man at Iron City and many white men had made inimuating remarks about the "swell headed nigger." It is believed that the man will not be given a fair trial if allowed to be taken back to Georgia. NEGRO WORKERS JOINING COMMUNIST PARTY (Crusader Service.) Chicago, Dec. 28.-Indicative of the new mental attitude of the Negro masses and demonstrative of the success of radical agitation among Negroes is the following letter which appeared in the columns of the Whip of this city: Dear Editor: One of the main objects of the Ku Klux Klan is to prevent social contact between Negroes and whites. One of the main objects of the Young Workers League is to organize Negroes and white people in the same organization, and to have them mingle together at dances, house parties, lectures, gymnasiums, outings, theatre parties, etc. The Young Workers League believes that this is the only practical way of doing away with racial prejudice. Our south side branch has at present two Negro members and a Negro chairman, all of the others being white. A cordial invitation is extended to the Young Negro Workers and students between the ages of 16 and 21 to visit our meetings and join with us because we only know one race, the human race. Yours truly, (Signed) GORDON W. OWENS.

GROWING THANK YOU Vol. IX—No. 26 STOCKHOLDERS RECEIVE LIBERAL SLICES OF MELON Prosperous Concern Has Remarkable Growth-Leading Business Men Compose Board of Directors. ORGANIZATION IN 4th YEAR Stock of the Company Owned Largely by Successful Undertakers Throughout Tri-State Territory. Memphis, Tenn., December 27.—Hundreds of stockholders in ten different states, were made glad for Christmas by receiving checks varying from $10 to $1,000, in accordance with stock owned, bezing a seven per cent dividend, on both the common and preferred stock, declared by the board of directors of the Tri-State Casket & Coffin Company at their annual meeting on December 10. The checks were mailed out December 15. The Tri-State Casket & Coffin Company began the manufacture of casket supplies early in 1920, capitalized at $200,000. The stock of the company is owned largely by successful undertakers throughout the tri-state territory. The promoters hit upon a unique plan, as an investment feature, namely having the stock held largely by undertakers who use the products of the company, thereby enabling the undertakers to practically purchase goods from themselves, which in turn enables them to sell to their customers cheaper than their competitors, who do not share in the liberal discount allowed by the factory to its undertaker stockholders, as well as sharing in the dividend. The company is now in its fourth year, and unlike many Negro enterprises, has the proud distinction of an unbroken dividend record of seven per cent paid every stockholder since its beginning, besides being able to set aside $x$ substantial surplus each year. The organization has been fortunate in that from the very start it has enjoyed the confidence of thousands of Colored undertakers throughout the South. The growth of the company has been rapid and steady, being based upon $x$ sound business foundation and efficiently managed along the lines of sound business principles. The officers and directors of the company comprise some of the most successful business men of the South. T. H. Hayes, of Memphis, the leading undertaker of the South, is its president; while on the directorate are such men as R. R. Church, a national character znd an acknowledged leader; J. B. Martin, president of the South Memphis Drug Company; and Wayman Wilkerson, an acknowledged business genius, is secretary and manager. A. M. Woods is sales manager, and his proven ability along this line makes him stand out as a leading "business getter" of the South. HOMESTEAD PASTOR PRESENTED WITH PURSE BY CONGREGATION (Preston News Service.) Homestead, Pa., Dec. 27.—Rev. M. A. Talley, pastor of Clark Memorial Baptist Church here, was presented with a purse of $1,000 last Thursday night by members of the congregation at a banquet celebrating his successful administration during the building of the new church edifice, said to be one of the finest in Western Pennsylvania. More than a thousand members and friends attended the affair. INSCRIBE MEMORIAL TO NEGRO FOOTBALL STAR (Preston News Service.) Ames, Iowa, Dec. 28.—A bronze plate on which is inscribed his last letter has been placed in the gymnasium at Iowa State College by athletic letter men in honor of Jack Trice, star Negro tackle on last year's football team, who died of injuries received in the Minnesota game last fall. An honor "A" was sent to his mother at Ravenna, Ohio. PETITION COMPANY FOR Washington, Dec. 28.—Asserting that more telephones are used by Negroes in Washington than any other city in America, the Negro National Education Congress has petitioned the Chesspeake & Potomac Telephone Company for the employment of Negro girls as telephone operators and clerks. The telegraph companies and city transit lines have received similar requests from the Congress, of which Prof. Silas Harris is president.

THE NEW YEAR THE SALUTATION which will soon be sounding in our ears, "Happy New Year", is for most not merely a conventional and meaningless greeting but the voicing of a sincere sentiment. There is a desire upon the part of most men that the newborn year may prove for all one of happiness, success and prosperity and so they voice this wish in the age-long message. Somehow the dawn of each New Year seems to give the opportunity for a new start. It is therefore quite customary for us to make resolutions for the New Year. We promise ourselves that we will do our best to retrieve past mistakes and rise to a higher plane of service and usefulness. It is good that we have this desire. It is good to make resolutions, but most of us make too many. It were better to undertake to do one thing and stick to that. But the fact that we even for a few brief moments think of the irrevocable past, and note therein our sins of omission and commission, and are filled with a desire to do better has its value. Each year should find us making progress. The golden age lies not behind us, but before us. Greet then the New Year with the determination to make the best of the opportunities which it offers us, not merely to advance in a material way, praiseworthy though this be, but also in a spiritual and moral way, in all things that make for the highest and best manhood. It is in this spirit and this desire that The Monitor wishes all its readers and patrons A Happy and Prosperous New Year. THINK OF THIS THE OTHER DAY we were talking to a prominent business man who is tremendously interested in our race in this city. He knows a whole lot about our weak points and our strong points. In the course of our conversation he said, "I have been informed that the credit rating of the colored people in this city is much lower than it ought to be, because while some are very prompt in paying their debts, others are slow, and as a result the average is low." Here is something really to think about, and if any who read this are careless about meeting their obligations and paying their debts, we wonder if they will not see the wisdom of improving their credit rating. ABOUT SUPPORTING BUSINESS ENTERPRISES BUSINESS ENTERPRISES are slowly but steadily multiplying among our group. It is quite proper that they should. It is eminently befting, too, that we should patronize our race enterprises where they are worthy and should help them grow and develop. Those bidding for race patronage must go prepared to deserve it. By this we mean that they must give the same service for the same money as their competitor. We have business places in this town which for neatness, cleanliness, character and quality of merchandise will compare most favorably with similar places run by competitors of the other race. Such places should be liberally patronized. There can be no excuse for passing such places by. It is time that some of our "Best people" who talk about "race pride" should show their vaunted "race pride" by supporting worth-while race institutions and enterprises. CHRISTIAN AMERICA WHAT CONDEMNATION strong enough can be found for that Oklahoma mob which murdered in cold blood the white proprietor of a hotel who would plead for the life of a black man who had committed no crime but that of earning his bread by honest toll. Too many communities have such signs as "Nigger, don't let the sun set on you in this town." A black American citizen visits such a town in Oklahoma. A hotel proprietor in need of help persuades this man to work for him. A mob assembles to lynch the black man, and his company pleading for his curricular life in short down like a dog. And the pity is nothing will be done about it. And this is Christian America! DIED BRAVELY WE DEPLORE strife and bloodshed. We regret to read of the catalogue of deeds or blood which belle man's better nature. But we believe in self-defense. For this reason we are glad that Joseph Pullen, the respectable and industrious tenant-farmer of Drew, Miss., sold his life dearly when the mob pursued him bent on taking his life. Knowing what he was facing he died as a brave man should die when pursued by a wolf-pack. It took v thousand men and a machine gun to kill him. WHAT OTHER EDITORS SAY Faith in the Law Is Essential It is a serious matter that Negroes do not believe they will get justice in the courts. The security of the state depends upon the faith of even the teat citizen. Joe Pullen, the Negro tenant farmer in Mississippi chose to kill others and die himself, rather than have his business adjudicated in the courts. There is no finding out now the right and wrong of the matter. Men have died, civilization has been set back, but no good done. Where men have no confidence in the law, they fall back upon their own might. What Negro has confidence in a Mississippi court? But the nation cannot afford to have its prerogatives thus taken over by individuals. The Oklahoma killing is worse than that in Mississippi. Jernigan was not even accused of crime, unless it is a crime to live. His confidence in the protection of the law was ill-founded. When men can no longer trust the authorities they chose for their protectors, they first protect themselves, and then become aggressors. The nation cannot zfford such a breaking up into individual and group warfare. Society is powerful enough to be just. America which helped stop ruthless might in Europe, should follow the dictates of its conscience at home. Robin Hood was a symptom of his times. Schemes of oppression always bring about their own destruction. The dominant majority cannot afford to be in the wrong—Kansas City Call. BETHEL BAPTIST CHURCH NEWS The Sunday school had a wonderful time Christmas eve. They had half of the program and other half we will have New Year's night at 8 p. m. All of the children were very much enthused over their presents they received from the Xmas tree which Santa Claus left for the kiddies. At a feast of seven tables under the auspices of the Mission Circle everyone had a fine time pulling taffy candy on Wednesday night. A masquerade party was also given at which two prizes were awarded—one to the one who came looking the most comical, and the other to the nearest dress. We had service at 5:30 Xmas morning and the pastor delivered a wonderful sermon to x large congregation. We had many visitors worshiping with us from various cities and had one addition to the church. The pastor hopes that everyone had a Merry Xmas and wishes all a Prosperous New Year.

It does not require a journey to the Atlantic ocean to accomplish this feat, for in the "Bathing Beauties" at the Gayetty theatre all next week, starting Saturday, there will be any number of the very latest creations in woman's seaside wearing apparel, adorning the symmetrical figures of a host of youthful and sprightly dancing nymphs. And there will be a company of clever principals, gaily cavorting with ensembles who are declared to be one of the sprightiest aggregations of burlesque entertainers this city has seen in many moons. The list is headed by Jack Hunt and Clyde Bates, two of the funniest delineators of tramp chracters on the stage. "Bathing Beauties" is really a carnival of dancing. All the members of the company from the featured players down to the chorus, are as graceful and agile a set of steppers as one could wish for. And they have been wonderfully trained in a lot of new and novel dances by Sammy Lee, the well-known producer of musical numbers. Mr. Lee put on all the musical numbers of "The Gingham Girl" which is in its second season of popularity. It is Lee's dances and ensembles in this musical piece that made it attain success. He is said to have done equally excellent work in "Bathing Beauties". The management of "Bathing Beauties" lays particular stress upon the desirability of the show as an entertainment for women, which fact should increase the already large feminine interest in the daily matinees for ladies given at this theatre. Monday night "Bathing Beauties" will present two separate and distinct performances at the Gayetey beginning at 8:30 and 11:30, respectively. The occasion for the 11:30 show is to supply the annual New Year's Eve midnite performance for which the Gayety alone has been famous for many years, it having originated the midnite show idea in Omaha many seasons ago. Annual Half-Price Sale WOMEN'S SHOES Our Entire Stock at 50 Per Cent Off Opening Sale of Spring Millinery Kilpatrick's Fifty-Fifth January White Sale Opens January 2nd, 1923 To make the event one to be remembered until the next one rolls around, Old Man Johnson is preparing novel and timely stunts symbolical of the death of the old year and the birth of the new year. "Bathing Beauties" will be the attraction and there will be a jamboree of high jinks and good fun that will be unlimited and it wouldn't be surprising if the roof should be tilted a bit by the enthusiasm and joy of the theatreful that will attend the Gayety's watch-meeting performance. The house will be open at 11:00, curtain at 11:30—all will be out and over at 1:45 Tuesday morning, January 1, 1924. The demand for seats for the Midnite Show has always been in excess of the supply; it will be well to get tickets early rather than take chances on being disappointed at the last minute. Ladies' matinee at 2:15 daily all week starting Wednesday. Sunday's matinee starts at 3:00 as will the gala holiday matinee New Year's Day.
