C., (Special)—Seventeen persons, all colored American citizens, were lynched in the United States during 1925, an increase of one over the record for 1924, the Federal Council of Churches set forth Wednesday in its annual report on the subject. The council put on its honor rol 38 commonwealths where no lives had thus been taken. It also saw an encouraging sign in the fact that in 39 cases officers of the law had prevented mob violence and that there had been a number of convictions of mob members. The report was prepared by the council's committee on race relations and the committee in an accompanying statement declared "mob law has thrown down the guantlet to the churches and all other organizations standing for law and order and justice through the courts." The goal of achieving a lynchless land in 1926 could not be reached because a lynching had occurred as early as January, the report added. Two unusual events were recorded in 1925. Texas for the first year since the beginning of records in 1882 being free of lynching and Utah having its first occurrence of the kind since 1884. "During the past year five states which had previously been on the honor roll, namely: Arkansas, Ohio, Virginia, Alabama, and, Utah, lost their places because of mob murder within their borders," the committee declared. "Four states, Illinois, Kentucky, South Carolina and Tennessee, which had been on the roll in former years, were restored because their borders were free of lynching in 1925." "Love knows no law," quoted the single guy. "You seem to forget the mother-in-law," suggested the simple mug. THE MONITOR NEW HOME The Woodmen of the Union -- John L. Webb Dr. E.A.

COURT REFUSES TO SET ASIDE JURY VERDICT IN RHINELANDER CASE New York, March 25.—Leonard Kip lost again today, in another step in his litigation to annul his marriage to Alice Beatrice Jones Rhinelander on the ground she is of Negro blood. Supreme Court Justice Morschauser denied a motion to set aside the jury's verdict that sustained the legality of the marriage and also denied a motion for a new trial.

OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, APRIL 9, 1926 "RACIAL INTEGRITY" BILL KILLED BY MISS. SENATE Jackson, Miss.—On the last day of its session, the State Senate, after having passed the House "Racial Integrity" bill, reconsidered its action and killed the measure. The explanation given was that the existing law covered the situation as far as Mississippi is concerned, and that the new measure would unnecessarily intensify racial animosity. HARVARD DEMANDS PHOTOGRAPHS Cambridge, Mass.—(By The Associated Negro Press)—In spite of the announcement that there is no desire on the part of Harvard College to bar any race or creed from the institution many are viewing askance the recent ruling that all applicants to the freshman class this fall must send photographs along with their application, and there is a fear that very few Negroes will be numbered among the freshmen who will sing with reverence and a feverent spirit "Fair Harvard." This new action, which goes into effect in September, has recalled a series of incidents, that had its genesis with the refusal of admission of Roscoe Bruce, Jr., to Freshman Hall, some five years ago, that have tended to show that the spirit of Harvard has undergone a radical change since the days of William H. Lewis, William Clarence Matthews, Roscoe Conklin Bruce, Sr., W. T. B. Williams and hosts of other members of the Negro race who are among the most noted sons of Harvard. VIOLINIST COMPLETES New Orleans, La—(By The Associated Negro Press)—Andre F. Rosemond, the first colored violinist to make a tour of the work, left Havre, France, March 10 on his return to this city.

JIM CROW BLOCKS DETROIT SCHOOL BOARD Detroit, Mich.—(By The Associated Negro Press)—An injunction issued in the courts of Judge Jayne with Atty, W. H. McKinney, counselor for the N. A. A. C. P., was held valid this year. The Board of Education of the city of Detroit will not be able to let any contract for annual school outings on Bob-lo Island because they refused to sell colored children tickets. Judge Jayne informed the Board of Education that the injunction will remain valid as long as they continue to discriminate on account of creed or color. Whole Number 556 JEALOUS M YOUNG WIFE PARLEYS WITH BOLD PROWLER AS HUSBAND SLEEPS Percy Banks Is Charged With The Crime And Has Been Bound Over To The District Court Under Maximum Bond Last Wednesday night about 10:45 a prowler, said to be a well-dressed young Negro, is alleged to have entered the apartments of Mr. and Mrs. Harland P. Christie, white, on the first floor in the Roland apartments on North Seventeenth. The Christians had retired early. The door had been left unlocked fir a young woman who was visiting the family. Hearing some one enter, Mrs. Christie, called "Loretta." There was no reply, but she heard footsteps approaching the bed. Next she felt the cold barrel of a revolver against her head. She nudged her husband, several times, according to the report published in the World-Herald, as the intruder commanded her in a low voice, "Throw up your hands, or I'll shoot you dead." Instead the young woman grabbed for the electric light switch above her head and turned it on. She saw a well-dressed young Negro near the bed. The next moment he had turned off the light. "What do you mean by that," he said in a hoarse whisper. "I should your money? Get it." She temporized. "Won't my husband do? Can't he have shot you for that. Where is your money? Get it." ...She temporized. "Won't my husband do? Can't he get it" "No, you get it," he ordered. As she got out of bed Mrs. Christie tried to awaken her husband by nudging and kicking him. She showed the man $6.00 in her purse, which he took. He ransacked the drawers and got $43. Finally the husband awoke and grappled with the man, while Mr. Christie jumped out the window and screamed. The prowler broke away from Mr. Christie and ran. Several young colored men were arrested, but released when unidentified by Mrs. Christie. Saturday morning Percy Banks was arrested, and had a preliminary hearing in Police court before Judge Holmes, Tuesday morning Mrs. Christie identifying him. His bond was fixed at $10,000 the maximum for such offense, although Deputy County Attorney Stalmaster had recommended a bond of $5,000. No witnesses were placed on the stand for Banks, Mrs. Christie being the only witness against him. CREOLES CLAIM THEY ARE NOT COLORED New Orleans, La.—(By The Associated Negro Press) — Creole families of this city which have been living as white have recently explained their right to do so by protesting that on logical grounds they are not colored. They assert that a Creole is a person of Spanish and French blood, with nothing colored about it. They profess to speak a pure French and claim that the so-called "Creole" is no more than the dialect French which their Negro slaves used to speak. Although there are many sure-enough colored families in the city which claim to be Creoles, the protest of the lighter-hued Creoles has nothing to cover their case. What is a creole, and who cares? GROWING THANK YOU! Vol. XI.—No. 38 OT MATE; LIVES Doctor Wesley Jones, Well-Known And Popular Physician Pays For Jocular Reply To Wife EXHIBITS WONDERFUL NERVE Desperately Wounded Physician Drives Himself To Hospital In Car And Undresses For Operation Dr. Wesley Jones, one of Omaha's most popular and successful physicians, was shot and dangerously wounded by his wife, Myrtle, last Friday morning at their home and his office, 1518 North Twenty-fourth street. Wresting the gun from his wife, Dr. Jones gave it to a friend, went down stairs, entered his automobile, drove to the Paxton Memorial hospital, over a mile distant, walked to the operating table, undressed himself, summoned the physicians and said, "Go to work, boys, do whatever you can for me." And the surgeons who esteem him highly went to work with a will, knowing as he knew, that his chances for recovery were very slight. His driving to the hospital after his wounding was a characteristic exhibition of the nerve and will power of the man. Dr. Jones, who is a jovial, good-natured man, always full of fun, arrived home Tuesday morning, after being absent from home all night on a professional call, and was accosted by his wife, whom it is said by personal friends is of an exceedingly jealous disposition, who asked him where he had been all night, to which he replied, it is said jokingly, "Oh, out with my little girl." Mrs. Jones ran to the bed room, secured a gun and fired three shots into his body while he scuffled to get possession of the gun. One took effect in his chest, one in his shoulder and one in his leg. At first little hope was held out for his recovery. While he is still in a precarious condition it is now thought that his recovery is possible. Mrs. Jones is in custody awaiting the outcome of her husband's injuries. Dr. Jones is an ex-service man, and a reserve officer, and is active in St. John's A. M. E. church. He is 35 years old and his wife 32. They came to Omaho from Tulsa a few years ago. The unfortunate affair is deeply deplored in the community, sentiment being strongly in favor of Dr. Jones. SCHOLARSHIPS AWARDED BY THE HIGH MASONS Minneapolis, Minn. — Scholarships of $200 each have been awarded two colored college students by the education committee of the United Supreme Council, Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Free Masons.

They want $64,000 for the church property.

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."

HEAD of Nebraska An Astute, Able, Clear-headed Business Man WHY THE MAXIMUM? THE Monitor would like to ask why it is that it so frequently happens in the Police Court of this city that when Negroes are accused of crime the maximum bond is required for release from custody whereas in the case of white persons charged with like crimes the minimum bond is deemed sufficient? There has been considerable complaint upon this point, and in some cases there is no doubt, in our mind, that there is just ground for this criticism. The most recent case of this character to be brought to our attention occurred Tuesday of this week when Municipal Judge Holmes fixed the bond of a man charged with entering the Rowland Apartments, terrorizing a woman and robbing the family of approximately $50, at the maximum, $10,000, when the prosecuting attorney had recommended a bond of $5,000. Why the maximum? Probably the accused would have found it as difficult to furnish a bond of $5,000, as he would one of $10,000; but it is the principle of the thing to which we object. An excessive bond, as is well known, carries with it the presumption of guilt. There is a peculiar psychology which dominates, perhaps unconsciously, the mind of the average white person in the case AN IMPORTANT WORK The postal regulations re be sent through the mails s advance.

Those, therefore, wha The Monitor must see to it. --- of a colored person accused of crimes, and that is the presumption that he is guilty until proven innocent; whereas the theory of the law is that one is innocent until proven guilty. It is the catering, consciously or unconsciously, designedly or undesignedly, to this presumption of guilt preceding the trial which this discrimination in the matter of ball implies which to us is highly objectionable. It smacks more of the spirit of the short-visioned South, than of the wider-visioned North. It is certainly not in keeping with Nebraska's motto, "Equality before the law." OLD TACTICS The Omaha Daily News is at its old tactics again. It is evidently trying to play up alleged crimes by Negroes as it did in September 1919 with such tragic results to Omaha's reputation. In its issue of Friday, April 2, in reporting the case of a prowler who entered the Rowland Apartments, Wednesday night, it plays up the story to give the impression that the primary purpose of the intruder was rape and not robbery. But not quite satisfied with this it volunteers the information that "The attempted attack on Mrs. Christie is said to be the most recent of a half dozen such attempts in a large district of the north part of the city, only one of which has been previously reported to the police." This was the line of propaganda in which the Omaha Daily News specialized about seven years ago. What's up, now? What has our esteemed contemporary up its sleeve? THE MONITOR THE STREET CAR FRANCHISE THE citizens of Omaha are to be called upon soon to vote upon the question of a franchise for the Omaha and Council Bluffs Street railway company. The street car is the poor man's best method of transportation. It is a necessity in a city like Omaha. Nothing should be done to cripple it or throttle it. In order for the street car company to market its bonds its franchise must run for a sufficient term of years to invite investment. The company has dealt fairly with the citizens of Omaha, now let the citizens of Omaha deal fairly with the Street Railway company. Register and vote for the franchise.

"JIM CROW CARS SHOULD GO," SAYS SENATOR BRUCE, DEMOCRAT, MARYLAND Washington, D. C. — (By The Associated Negro Press)—Senator Bruce, Democrat, of Maryland, in an interview with a representative of The Associated Negro Press, declared, in his opinion, the time has come for dispensing with Jim Crow cars. Senator Bruce spoke particularly of Maryland, his home state. "It seems to me that there has been sufficient advancement of Colored people to do away with separate railway coaches. It is a matter of regret to me that we have them in our state. "Had I been appointed a member of the inter-racial committee that would have been one of my first recommen- dations," said the venerable senator, who has gained a reputation in the senate and his state for an attitude of justice and fairness to all! Continuing he said: "It would seem to me that the railroads themselves would be interested from an economical viewpoint. The system now is one of double expense. Colored people are American citizens, and have proved to be good citizens." Senator Bruce is not a candidate, which, naturally, makes his statement: carry all the more emphasis.

JOINS JUNK PILE U. S. S. Cheyenne, Still In Good Order, Goes to Keep Her Rendezvous With Davy Jones. Baltimore, Md.-Trailing ignominiously at the end of a towline, a once proud monitor and last of her type recently moved toward her grave-a junk pile at Hampton roads. One of four sister ships laid down in 1904, the Cheyenne, originally the Wyoming, started her death march alone with the U. S. S. Owl, a navy yard tug, stealing ahead like a conscience-stricken executioner. The Tallahassee, the last of her sisters, felt the acetylene torch 20 years ago. Sixty-six years back in American history the monitor type, embodied in John Ericsson's Monitor, nemesis of the Merrimac, revolutionized naval practice. Monitors maintained President Lincoln's blockade of southern ports during the Civil war. The present and last monitor, living to see her once all-powerful type belittled by modern development, epitomized naval progress when she served as a mother ship for submarines on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts during the World war. The Cheyenne, then the Wyoming, also was the first naval vessel to feel the thrust of modern oil-burning engines. Experiments conducted aboard the Wyoming have since led the Navy department to take steps for the conversion of all remaining coal burners. For more than five years the Cheyenne has served as the training ship of the Fifth Naval Reserve district and with her passing the Baltimore water front loses a bit of romance. The original Monitor indirectly was protecting this port when it destroyed the Merrimac in Hampton roads. Under her own power, around the Virginia capes from Philadelphia, the Cheyenne came to Baltimore in October, 1920. It is through no fault of her own that she is dragged away on the end of a chain, like a criminal to the gibbet. Her engines are sturdy and fit, her propeller trim—but she is obsolete and her crew is gone. Part of her crew has been transferred to Eagle boat 56, her successor, and the remainder has gone on the inactive list. So, with her fireroom cold and her decks deserted, the last of the monitors keeps her rendezvous with Davy Jones. Educate Chinese With 1,000-Letter Alphabet Pactingfu, Chihlih. — Public-spirited Chinese with sufficient learning to qualify as teachers have undertaken a movement for the education of the masses of China. "Jimmie" Yen, product of Yale and Princeton, leads the undertaking. He and his associates have selected from the formidable mass of Chinese characters, a thousand common ones with which they assert books and papers on almost any subject can be written. A million of the "thousand character" text-books have been put in circulation, each costing the equivalent of a dime. Vacant temples or residences have been borrowed for school rooms and the practice of writing in the air with the finger is resorted to where blackboards or slates are not available. London. The courts have upheld the government in its efforts to dispossess the tenants of 16 houses adjoining a factory at St. Helen's, Lancashire, in which the war office is conducting experiments with poison gas. The government owns both factory and houses and wanted the tenants to move because of danger to which it was believed they were exposed by proximity of the gas factory. The tenants, however, were willing to assume the risk because of anticapital difficulty in finding other accommodations. The courts held that the government was not bound by the rent restriction act, under which private owners would have been unable to dispossess the tenants. Worth While Poems Let me be a little kinder, Let me be a little blinder To the fault's of those about me, Let me praise a little more; Let me be when I am weary Just a little bit more cheery, Let me serve a little better Those that I am striving for. Let me be a little braver When temptation bids me waver, Let me strive a little harder To be all that I should be; Let me be a little meeker With the brother that is weaker, Let me think more of my neighbor And a little less of me. Let me be a little sweeter, Make my life a bit completer By doing what I should do Every minute of the week; Let me toil without complaining, Not a humble task disdaining. Let me face the summons calmly When death beckons me away. —Selected OMAHA LOCALS Mrs. Otis Shipman and daughters, Thelma and Madeline, who came to Omaha to spend Holy Week and Easter, left for Sioux Falls, So.
