AIDS PROSECUTION FOR HEINOUS CRIME Retains Colored Attorney in Case of Fourteen Year Old Colored Girl Assaulted by Eleven Men VICTIM OF MORONS MAY DIE Association's Legal Defense Fund Enables Organizations to Render Valuable and Effective Assistance New York, Feb. 12.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, has announced it had retained Alan Dingle, a colored attorney of New York, to be associated with the prosecution of eleven white men who kidnapped for three days and attacked a fourteen-year-old colored girl in the Bronx. The colored girl, who is now ill in a hospital suffering from double pneumonia as a consequence of exposure, was followed by three men when she alighted from a subway train at Broadway and 231st Street. The three men are alligued to have taken the girl to a barn at Bailey Avenue, where she was held for three days against her will, without food, and assaulted by eleven men. Her plight was made known when a citizen informed the police of the suspicious actions of men entering and leaving the barn. The girl had come from Virginia and was stopping with an aunt in Harlem. Her mother who lives in Virginia, cannot come to the girl because of young children in the family who must be taken care of. The N. A. A. C. P. is working in cooperation with the Prosecuting Attorney and the Children's Society. As the girl is dangerously ill, an effort is being made to obtain from her a statement, which can be used in prosecuting her eleven attackers for murder should the girl die. The Children's Society has informed the N. A. A. C. P. that the case against the men will be pushed to the limit. When the case comes to trial it will be necessary for the girl's mother to come from Virginia to testify as to FREDERICK DOUGLAS Born February 14, 1817; died February 20, 1895. Anti-slavery agitator, orator, editor and dipolmat whose services in the fight for the freedom of the Negro slave, and his subsequent labors for the rights of his race should ever be held in grateful memory.

P. has agreed to bear the cost of the mother's journey. In connection with the case James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., made the following statement: "Heretofore the N. A. A. C. P. has been compelled to forego giving assistance in a number of cases as atrocious as this one. Now, however, with the Defense Fund so generously contributed, which has been set aside and held in trust solely for legal defense, the Association is enabled to widen its legal activities in behalf of the race." NEGRO ATTORNEY ARGUES AGAINST CHARLES HUGHES Chicago—(By the Associated Negro Press) In an action involving firms whose aggregate assets total several billions of dollars in the Circuit Court here, Assistant State's District Attorney, James G. Cotter, was opposed to Charles Evans Hughes, former candidate for president of the United States, former secretary of state and former governor of New York, in the legal arena. The action was an appeal which sought the removal of the case to Cleveland. The businesses involved are accused of violating the Sherman Anti-Trust Act. Mr. Cotter is one of the most able district attorneys in the northern district of Illinois, white or black. His appointment came largely through the efforts of Congressman Martin B. Madden. OLDEST PULLMAN PORTER DIES Chicago, Ill.—(By the Associated Negro Press) James B. Newsome 76, the oldest Pullman porter in the United States, died here Thursday morning. He had been in the Pullman service for more than 55 years, and was retained after the usual retirement age of 70 because of his exceptional value to the company and his great energy. During all his service no complaint was ever registered against him. He had the Chicago-Denver run for 45 years. His largest tip, $100, came from Buffalo Bill. He was prominent in church, lodge, and club circles in Chicago. Funeral services were held with the Rev. Moses H. Jackson officiating. THE MASTER ed February 20, 1895.

We are losing some time are masters of their adult, dear Brutus, is not in our own ourselves, that we are underlings. We "underlings" and largely regard. We do not realize or use our power. Let us put aside all childishness, purpose and determination. How long are the Negro citizens and taxpayers of Omaha going to sleep on their rights? When are we going to wake up and get busy? When are we going to demand and secure the recognition, participation and remuneration in civic affairs to which our numbers, contributions and votes we are entitled? Constituting 7 per cent of the population, contributing our proportion of taxes, and with a voting strength of more than 7,000 our representation and employment in municipal concerns is almost negligible. It is not what it was thirty years ago when our race population was nearly 12,000 less than it is now. We have lost ground and will continue to lose ground until we awaken to the seriousness of the situation and unite our forces to obtain that to which we are justly entitled. Take, for example, the Metropolitan Utilities which supply gas and water for this city. These are under the control of the city. Our people pay thousands and thousands of dollars annually for gas and water. These public utilities have several thousand employees and while every other nationality is represented either in the clerical or other departments, there is not a black face among them with the exception of one watchman. Is there anything right or just about this? Of course not? But whose fault is it? Largely our own. If a representative delegation of all our people, and by this we mean duly accredited representatives from our churches, lodges and other organizations, would go to the authorities and make an insistent demand for employment of some of our qualified people in these public utilities, we would get them. Let us organize our forces and go after employment for some of our people in these municipal-owned and operated utilities and let us not be satisfied with a few laborer's or janitor's jobs, but insist upon some other jobs also. We cannot accomplish this by individual effort, but by intelligent, well-directed mass attack. Take again the school situation. The Board of Education has in its employ, including its corps of 1,500 teachers, nearly 2,500 employees, and in this vast number of employees we have not so much as a janitor. We ought to have teachers on the corps and janitors in some of the schools and workers in the shops and on the force of laborers. We have had them in the past when our population, as we have hitherto stated, was much smaller than now. Mass attack upon the Board of Education with the insistent demand that some of our well-qualified young women, and Omaha has several who can meet the required standard in character, ability and experience, be appointed as teachers in our public schools will bring results. We have taken these as examples of institutions for which we are taxed and in the conduct and management of which by our VOTES we have a voice, where by united action we can make our influence felt and get results. There are also public service corporations like the Northwestern Bell Telephone Company and the Nebraska Power Company into which our people in this city pay thousands of dollars yearly which ought to give some of our people employment. We believe that a mass attack upon them will bring good results also, but with these we have not the same leverage and claim that we have upon municipal agencies. Denominational and fraternal jealousies should be laid aside, the question as to who shall or shall not receive credit, should be forgotten and our race in this city should unite their forces and make a demand for places on the payroll of the Metropolitan Utilities and the Board of Education. We are losing ground. We must wake up. "Men at some time are masters of their fates; The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, But in ourselves, that we are underlings." That we are "underlings" and largely regarded as nonenities is our own fault. We do not realize or use our power. The fault is in ourselves. Let us put aside all childishness and show ourselves men of purpose and determination. MISSISSIPPI CONTINUING CRUSADE AGAINST MOBS Jackson, Miss.—Undaunted by three failures to achieve results in the case of Lindsey Coleman, who was lynched by a mob after having been acquitted of a murder, members of the better citizenry of Mississippi, led by the state bar association have had a bill introduced into the state legislature which would empower the governor to remove sheriffs from office for allowing prisoners to be taken from their custody and killed.

Among the subjects to be discussed are inter-racial good will; better rural schools for the Negro in the south as a means of stemming Negro immigration to the north; the best method of promoting the cause of temperance and the million dollar emergency drive for racial uplift and other kindred subjects. Bishop H. B. Parks of California will preside PICKENS CHOSEN TO BE CHIEF LINCOLN SPEAKER Indianapolis, Ind.—Previously, Senator Albert J. Beveridge had been selected as "Lincoln" orator, with W. Pickens as alternate. The senator is preparing a new book on Lincoln, which is expected to rival his work on John Marshall. The Indianapolis Bar Association has finally decided to hear the senator in March and to hear in February what some regard as the most eloquent oration on Lincoln, the "Abraham Lincoln, Man and Whole Number 551 against H Statesman", by William Pickens. Attorney Robert L. Bailey, foremost colored lawyer of Indiana, is a member of the Indianapolis Bar. As Mr. Pickens speaks on February 12 at the Lincoln Day Banquet of the Lincoln Association of Jersey City the Indianapolis lawyers have had to postpone their meeting till the latter part of February. UNVEIL TANNER PAINTING Orangeburg, S. C.-The formal unveiling of the H. O. Tanner painting which Claflin University recently secured occurred here. The speaker of the occasion was Edwin A.

The Second Congregational Church of this city celebrated its fifty-eighth anniversary this week with appropriate exercises. It is the first colored Congregational Church organized in the South. OMAHA BRANCH N. A. A. C. P. MET LAST SUNDAY The Omaha Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. met last Sunday afternoon at the North Side branch and transacted important business. Various reports were received and it was decided that at the forum which meets on the third Sunday in each month a paper on some Racial Historical subject be presented and discussed. The next meeting will be February 21, place to be announced later. Wednesday night an appreciative audience witnessed a pleasing play presented by the Junior group of the Girls' Friendly Society of the Church of St. Philip the Deacon in the Guild rooms. The three-act play, entitled "Her Choice", was an original one written by Catherine Williams. It represents a young girl, the only daughter of her widowed mother, who exultant over reaching her majority, makes the choice of the "Breaking of a Girl", Laziness, Good Times, Frivolity, Conceit and Dress, rather than "The Making of a Girl", Hope, Friendship, Work, Fun and Happiness, and speedily squanders the small fortune left by her father. Her mother's death leaves her penniless and brings her to her senses when she is compelled to engage in honest work. Oil lands considered worthless but proving valuable unexpectedly bring her wealth which she devotes to a good purpose. The leading part, Violet West, was excellently impersonated by Vera Walton; Sarah Brown made a good Mrs. West, the old fashioned mother; and Millard Singleton, as Attorney Sharpe, could not be improved upon; Celestine Smith, as Ruth, Violet's supposed friend, was fine; but each one threw herself into the spirit of the play and took her part well. The cast was as follows: The cast was as follows: Violet ..... Vera Walton Mrs. West, widow, Violet's old fashioned mother .....

Y. Clarence Darrow, attorney retained by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to defend Dr. Ossian H. Sweet and ten other colored people from murder charges growing out of a segregation riot outside Dr. Sweet's home, has received information that the second trial will probably open early in March, between the fifth and tenth of the month. Mr. Darrow, at a conference in New York with James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association, and Walter White, assistant secretary, arranged that Mr. White accompany him to Detroit sometime in February to mature plans for the second legal contest to free the accused colored people. BRAVE SHERIFF HOLDS OFF LYNCHERS Alexandria, La—(By the A. N. P.) Five unmasked men entered the parish, jail Tuesday morning and attempted to kidnap Joe Hardy who is being held for the murder of J. S. Glover, white planter. The men were held at bay by the sheriff and his deputies who informed the raiding party that they must kill him and his jailer before he would give up the prisoner. It is thought that members of the Klan are responsible. A company of the national guard has been dispatched to the scene to guard the prisoner. VIRGIN ISLANDERS PLEAD FOR RIGHTS Washington, D. C.—A hearing was given by the House Committee on Insular Affairs on Saturday to the unofficial delegation of legislators from the Virgin Islands, which is pushing the bill to give the Islands a civil government to replace the present naval administration, under which the natives have suffered many grievances. One result of the hearing was that Representative Bacon agreed to introduce at an early date a bill designed to grant citizenship to Virgin Islanders both in the United States and in their own country. There are more than 10,000 Virgin Islanders living in New York City. MANY INDIANS IN U. S. WORK Washington, D. C.—(By the Associated Negro Press) Indians totalling 1,708 are employed by the bureau of Indian Affairs receiving annual salaries approximating nearly $2,000,000 according to a report completed at the Interior Department. These Indians in the Government service are members of the tribes of the reservations where they are employed. They hold various positions, inculding superintendencies of agencies, assistant superintendents clerks, and other responsible posts.

Our Choice for President in 1928 is WALTER W. HEAD of Nebraska An Astute, Able, Clear-headed Business Man NEXT week Wednesday the great penitential season of Lent, a season of forty days of more intensive spiritual training, observed by millions of Christian folks, will be ushered in. This season is co-eval with the advent of Christianity, and is commemorative of Christ's fasting and temptation in the wilderness. While observed by the great Catholic communions, Anglican, Greek and Roman, and by the Lutherans, increasing numbrs of devout Protestants are falling into the custom of its observance. It must be conceded that any institution so firmly fixed and widely observed as Lent is must be helpful to all who use it aight in raising men and women to a higher spiritual plane. If found helpful in times when mankind was not given to the feverish rush and hurry of modern life, surely such a season, which calls for more quietude and reflection and opportunities for prayer and self-examination, should be doubly beneficial in these strenuous times. PULLMAN PORTER'S PAY THAT the Pullman Company ought to pay its porters an adequate living wage has always been the conviction and contention of The Monitor. It is still our conviction. We believe that neither the porters nor the public ought to be satisfied until this is accomplished. The question is how this can be best and soonest brought to pass. It must be recognized that deeply entrenched customs and traditions cannot be swept aside at once nor reforms brought to pass immediately. Such things take time. There are certain traditions and customs surrounding the Pullman porter's pay and perquisites which, in our judgment, cannot be swept aside at one full swoop. One barrier in the way is the lack of unanimity of sentiment among porters themselves concerning these. This is a fact to be reckoned with. There ought, however, be no division of sentiment among them concerning the necessity for intelligent and efficient effort to secure an adequate living wage and improved working conditions. But as to how this can THE NEGRO'S CONTRIBU A moment's thought will persons that the contribution nationality as slave, freedman negligible. No element of An yet clearly woven itself into and acting as the American N explorers and helped in explore the first the foundation of THE NEGRO'S CONTRIBUTION NOT NEGLIGIBLE A moment's thought will easily convince open-minded persons that the contribution of the Negro to American nationality as slave, freedman and citizen was far from negligible. No element of American life has so subtly and yet clearly woven itself into warp and woof of our thinking and acting as the American Negro. He came with the first explorers and helped in exploration. His labor was from the first the foundation of the American prosperity and the cause of the rapid growth of the new world in social and economic importance. Modern democracy rests not simply on the striving white men in Europe and America but also on the persistent struggle of the black men in America for two centuries. The military defense of this land has depended upon Negro soldiers from the time of the Colonial wars down to the struggle of the World War. Not only does the Negro appear, reappear and persist in American literature but a Negro American literature has arisen of deep significance, and Negro folk lore and music are among the choicest heritages of this land. Finally the Negro has played a peculiar spiritual role in America as a sort of living, breathing test of our ideals and an example of the faith, hope and tolerance of our religion.—Du Bois, "The Gift of Black Folk."

There are those who believe that unionizing is the way out; there are others who hold that the conference method between employer and employee is the better method. Such a conference covering a period of ten days has recently been held in Chicago. It has resulted in a slight increase in salary, 8 per cent; and some improvement in hours of work. Porters formerly receiving $67 per month have been raised to $72.50 and those formerly receiving $90 to $97. Maids' salaries have been similarly advanced. To merely name these salaries shows their beggarly inadequacy and the disparity between these and the wages paid other classes of employees, except waiters. We hold that the increase has not been large enough by any means. At the same time, however, it shows that where such conferences are held definite results are obtained. We believe that ultimately more can be gained by intelligent and manly representatives of the porters meeting around the conference table with their employers and presenting their requests and grievances than by any other method. Such conferences make, or should make, for acquaintance and understanding, which are prime factors in securing justice. The Pullman company can and should pay its porters better wages and the porters should not cease their efforts until this is done. The method to be employed, in our jurgiment, is that of presenting their claims directly to the Pullman officials around the conference table. It may seem slow but we believe that it will prove wise and effective. HUGE HOME BUYING ASSETS Washington—The steady increase in the number of building and loan associations among progressive colored citizens throughout the country directs attention to the fact that the 12,000 associations in the United States loaned $1,600,000,000 for the purchase and construction of 45,000 homes last year. In the opinion of C. Clinton James, president of the United States League of Local Building and Loan Association, by 1931 there will be ten billion dollars in assets in the building and loan associations of the United States.

The children made a striking appearance, the little overlaled Jackie Coogan girls and their partners won instant applause in the opening numbers including solos, team dancing, and nationality dances in costume, and the program was concluded by an exhibition of ballroom dancing, the "Flirtation" by the class in party attire, while Mr. Wynn sang "Bam Bam Bam Shore."

The Civic held its first Hall last W Chocolate Eclair Drives Parisian Easter Insane Paris.—The sight of a young woman eating a chocolate eclair outside of his glass cage caused Albert Wolly, a professional fastener, to go violently insane. After gazing at the dainty in the girl's fingers, Wolly suddenly rose, seized his chair and smashed the glass in an effort to reach the food. He was taken to a hospital, raving. The faster was on the twelfth of his scheduled thirty foodless and sleepless days and had been an attraction in a busy Paris thoroughfare, where his cage was installed in a large hall. Special Gold Coin to Be Circulated in Italy Rome.—Gold coins of the denomination of 100 lire, commemorative of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the reign of King Victor Emmanuel, will be placed in circulation in a few days. The die was designed by the sculptor Aurelio Mistruzzli. On one side of the coin is a profile of the king in high relief. Under it is an oak branch bearing the dates 1900-1925 and "Victor Emmanuel III, King of Italy." The reverse side bears a nude figure representing a victorious infantryman bearing a flagstaff in his left hand and a winged victory in his right. The right knee rests on the summit of a rock on which is engraved the fascist insignia and the dates 1915-1918. Mausoleum to Be Built For Hero of Buena Vista Louisville, Ky.—The body of Zachary Taylor, hero of the Mexican war and twelfth President of the United States, is at last to rest in ground owned by the government he served. A mausoleum is to be built to house the bodies of the victor of Buena Vista and his wife, giving lasting recognition to the man who defeated Gen. Santa Anna's army of 21,000 with 5,000 volunteers and added millions of square miles to the area of his native land. General Taylor's grave since 1850 has been marked with a granite shaft 21 feet high, six miles northeast of here. The future shrine of General Taylor, to be near the old one, will be of Indiana limestone and will include sarcophagi of verde antique marble to contain the bodies. Bronze doors with glazed upper panels will permit the interior, illuminated by a window in the rear wall, to be seen. The length of the mausoleum will be 16 feet. Recovering Its Status Rheims. Rheims is among the few cities in France with empty apartments and a slumming industrial real estate market. The return of the population has not kept pace with rebuilding and restoration, as there are only 75,000 inhabitants, as compared with 117,000 before the war. To the world, Rheims generally is associated first with cathedrals, and then champagne. Before the war, however, it was an important industrial city, where wool weaving, spinning and bleaching employed 10,000 persons, now reduced to about one third of that number. Land which at armistice time sold for 10 to 30 francs the square meter, when it was thought the city would be itself again in a short time, is now offered at from 5 to 10 francs. IT PAYS YOU TO HAVE YOUR SHOES REBUILT Mr. John J. Hemphill of Denton, Montana, is visiting his daughters and son in the city. Mrs. Ethel Clark is reported to be improving from a recent illness. Mr. Chris C. Stith and family have moved on their acreage near Uni. Place. Mrs. Ida Todd entertained the Utopian Art Club at her home, 655 So. 20th St. last Thursday night. The meeting was a profitable one. Mr. Scott is reported still improving. The Civic and Improvement League held its first carnival in the German Hall last Wednesday, Thursday and Friday nights. It was an unusual affair, and was the means of attracting a crowded house each night. Articles from several merchants were on exhibition for sale. Art work made by some of our group was in evidence. Prizes were given away each night to those holding lucky numbers. The little ones enjoyed themselves tooting horns and throwing confetti, while the older ones found amusement in various friends. Merchants made liberal donations to the success of the event. Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Stanley returned home last Monday, after a six weeks trip through the east, report having had fine recreation. Mrs. A. Cowan was able to worship at the church Sunday. Mr. Ralph McWilliams and family returned from Kansas recently and expect to move out on an acreage soon.

HUMPREY'S HOMEO, MEDICINE CO 156 William Street, New York California Completes Great Highway Work Los Angeles, Cal.-The cutting of the Ventura coast stretch of the new ocean shore highway, just completed ranks among the outstanding highway projects of the nation, in the opinion of engineers. In a stretch of 7.4 miles, an excavation of 1,213,724 cubic yards of rock and earth was accomplished. The most expensive section was one mile through solid rock cliffs, south of Big Sycamore canyon, where 334,086 cubic yards were moved at a cost of $238,871.20. Men and instruments were let down with ropes over rocky cliffs and some of the work was done while the location men were dangling in midair above the foaming breakers of the Pacific. Two years were passed in this work to complete grading, and next summer the paving will be laid. Parisians Once More Take to Eating German Viands Paris. — Frankfurters, sauerkraut and pilsener on the one hand and peace conferences on the other seemingly are unrelated, but they are in France. For a long time Paris tried to get along with Strasburg sausages. They were on the menu cards as Strasburgers, but the public would have none of them. Then the real Frankfurt hot dogs were imported under various names to disguise their German origin. Since the Locarno conference, however, the masks have been dropped, and now Paris is eating Frankfurters and sauerkraut and washing them down with pilsener, just as it did before the war. --- EPISCOPAL Church of St. Philip the Deacon 21st near Paul Rev.
