Colored Man Receives Highest Decoration Of War PHOENIX VOLUME 11. NO. 14 CLARENCE DARROW PRINCIPAL SPEAKER AT DUNBAR MEMORIAL CLARENCE DARROW PRINCIPAL SPEAKER AT DUNBAR MEMORIAL (By Associated Negro Press) CHICAGO, July 8.—The birthday anniversary of Paul Laurence Dunbar was memorialized in a great gathering at St. Mark's Methodist Episcopal church, Sunday, at which time Clarence S. Darrow, white, one of the greatest lawyers in America, delivered the principal address. Julius Avendorph was director and chairman of the meeting. Mr. Darrow said that Dunbar was one of the world's greatest poets, and that color prejudice is all a myth. Paul Laurence Dunbar, the Negro poet who won a place in American literature, son of a former Kentucky slave and of pure African blood, was born on June 27th, 1872, in Dayton, Ohio. He was educated in the public schools there, and in 1891 was graduated from the high school. He began work as an elevator boy and later went to New York city, where he found employment as a newspaper writer and contributor to periodicals Dunbar later appeared in public as a reader of his poems, which in 1893 were published in a volume entitled "Oak and Ivy." His third volume of verse, "Lyrics in Lowly Life," published in 1896, called general attention to his work and received commendation from W. D. G. Howells and James Lane Allen. He wrote partly in Negro dialect and partly in conventional English, and was considered to have expressed the sentiment of his Race very faithfully and in melodious form. He published several novels, including "The Sport of the Gods." Other volumes of verse than those mentioned were "Poems of Cabin and Field," "Candle-Lightin' Time," and "Howdy, Honey, Howdy." In 1897 Dunbar was appointed to a position in the Library of Congress, which he filled for several years, but, contracting tuberculosis, he returned to Dayton, where he died in 1906. DISTRICT ATTORNEY THWARTS PLAN OF "BLACK STAR LINE" DISTRICT ATTORNEY THWARTS PLAN OF "BLACK STAR LINE" (By Associated Negro Press) NEW YORK, July 8.—"The Black Star Line," advertised as "a fleet of steamships to trade in the interests of the colored race" by the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the African Communities League, with headquarters at No. 38 West 135th street, was torpedoed and sunk by Assistant District Attorney Kilroe. He instructed Marcus Garvey, colored, president of both organizations, to refrain from collecting any more funds. Garvey promised to refrain. ```markdown ``` According to Mr. Kilroe, who has examined Garvey and his "general ladies' secretary," Amy Ashwood, also colored, of No. 552 Lenox avenue, Garvey has collected about $3,000 in this city and throughout the United States and Canada. The investigation was made at the request of a committee of the association, who complained that Garveys organizations were about bankrupt. She Wants A Plane But Can't Get It She Wants A Plane But Can't Get It Mrs. Potter Asserts She'll Stay in Chicago Until Dealers "Ante" The Chicago Tribune today says: "Daniel Boone had a wilderness; Columbus had an ocean, and Joan of Are found swords and clanking steel thrust upon her. What Mrs. Harry L. Potter of Madison, Wis., would like to know is: How can you be an aviatrix without an airplane?" Mrs. Potter, fresh from her conquests of the automobile field and in the realm of trapshooting, has, come to Chicago with the intention of staying on the job until the two-seated biplane in which she intends to make aviation safe for femininity is produced by dealers who declare they have planes for sale. She Wishes to Pioneer "Some one has to be a pioneer," she TRIED TO INTRODUCE JIM CROW POLICY AT FOTR HAUCHUCA, ARIZ. FORT HUACHUCA, Ariz., July 9.—Despite the determination of First Lieut. B. H. Minnich, amusement officer of the Tenth Cavalry, to "Jim Crow" colored soldiers and civilians, an order has been issued by Lieut. Colonel Snyder that "at all entertainments and performances in the amusement hall at the post, seats, except those reserved for officers and their families, will be used without distinction or reservation as they come to them by soldiers and civilians. This order was issued by Lieut. Col. Snyder after a board of officers, consisting of Captain J. F. R. Scott, Captain James H. Shelton and Captain George De Sass, all of the Tenth Cavalry, had heard the testimony in the case preferred against Lieut. Minnich, and found him guilty of trying to draw the color line against soldiers of the regiment and their families. The finding of the board was: "The board finds that the amusement officer, First Lieut. P. H. Minnich, Tenth Cavalry, on his own initiative, arranged a new plan of seating for the amusement hall, without any previous notice, and that he endeavored to enforce this plan in a most tactless and inconsiderate manner. The board finds that Lieut. Minnich endeavored to discriminate between the colored and the white, and in so doing seems to have lost his head." The recommendations made by the board were that the seating arrangements in the amusement hall at Fort Huachuca be the same as in the past; that there be no discrimination on account of color, and that, with the exception of the officers, all choose seats to suit themselves. It was further recommended that a new amusement officer be appointed, as the occurrence had impaired the prestige and usefulness of Lieut. Minnich. The testimony offered was that on the evening of June 9, when colored soldiers and their wives went to the amusement hall, they were told that the first three rows were reserved for white people. The witnesses were First Lieut. B. H. Minnich, Sgt. Maj. E. P. Frierson, Sgt. Maj. Geo, Smith, First Sgt. Thomas Jordan, Sgt. J. T. Downs, Sgt. M. A. Harris and Sgt. J. Clark. Minnich denied that he had drawn the color line. The witnesses testified that the lieutenant introduced the "Jim Crow" policy. said Sunday. "The field of aviation for women is practically unlimited. Man has so far combined to put a muzzle on the freedom of the air. "Women have flown for exhibition and commercial purposes, it is true. They did the same thing when the automobile first came in. But few, if any, women have gone into aviation for sport, the joy of air piloting. I want to help show the women that aviation is a feminine diversion, but how can I pioneer if they won't produce a plane for me to buy?" Purchase of an airplane is a long and tedious process, according to Mrs. Potter, who says she has been "stalled off" by aviation agents for weeks. "I'm due to hop off for Madison soon," she declared. "I have promised students at the university to bring them the plane as part of their reunion celebration, and I don't intend to leave Chicago until I leave it in my own machine." He Pays Her a Tribute "Yes," said one airplane dealer, "I know Mrs. Potter. If I had a salesman half as purposeful and persistent I'd double his salary." Mrs. Potter is credited with having pioneered in trapshooting for women. Hundreds of women have followed her lead since she won the western championship in St. Louis. She brought her pilot, Lieut. Robert Erickson of Madison, along to make the reunion 'hop' with her. Columbia, S. C., July 10.—Governor Cooper has appointed a commission of seven members to have charge of the erection of a $100,000 memorial building, in honor of the Negro soldiers of the war. The provision for the memorial was made by the general assembly.

Tanner, Negro artist, whose paintings won for him the approval of the artistic world, was born in Pittsburgh 60 years of age. The son of Benjamin T. Tanner, Afro-American Methodist bishop of Philadelphia, he spent his youth in the Quaker city. As a boy he took delight in sketching the animals in the Philadelphia "Zoo." His talent attracted the attention of Thos. Eakins, and through his influence the boy was enabled to take a two years' course at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. His next step was to hold an auction of all his canvasses which netted him $300. With that sum he went to Paris, and almost immediately became the favorite pupil of the great Benjamin Constant. His first picture to attract universay attention was "Daniel in the Lions' Den." This was followed by "Resurrection of Lazarus," which won a gold medal and was purchased by the French government. In 1899 he married Jessie Macauley Olssen of San Francisco, who gave up for him a promising operatic career. THIS MAN GROWS HIS MUSTACHE ON HIS NOSE (By Associated Negro Press) NEW ORLEANS, La., July 8.—The usual place for a mustache is on the upper lip, below the nose. Willie Webb of 2624 S. Andrew street, Negro veteran of the Champagne front, has a mustache on the top of his nose near the end, or would have if he did not shave it away with his trusty razor. A section of his scalp was grafted there by surgeons in Paris, a skillful piece of rebuilding, after a shell had exploded in the soldier's face. The Negro regiment of which Webb was a member took several German trenches in the line of advance and a number of prisoners. Willie saw German dugouts, "all concreted," with a piano and "lots of beer." He himself captured a German soldier who persisted in showing fight after he was taken, even when "asked nice" to come along, so Willie "drug him." He was wounded October 4 by a shell that killed three near him. "Be sure you are right and go ahead!" "LET'S GO!" DO COLORED PE ATION ICE MUST PRE COPYRIGHTED ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS SOCIAL EQUALITY IS NOT THE ISSUE CHICAGO, III., July 8.—The white people of the United States, both north and south, have begun to take an unusual interest in the future of the Negro of this country. In every section of the country conferences, conventions and various other gatherings in which colored people are assembled, are being watched with the keenest of interest. It is noticeable that the majority of the white people are willing to grant the colored people almost every consideration except two—social equality and the ballot. They are willing to grant better opportunities for better education, better comforts on transportation lines, complete protection of rights under the law, better housing conditions, make lynching an impossibility, and many other things which any same person must admit as being fair. The better element of the whites, both north and south, seem willing to grant the foregoing excepting social equality and the ballot. "Social equality," said one of our leaders today, "is a subject that should cease to be discussed. It never has been and never will be anything more or less than a political scarescrow. Concerning the ballot, that is far different. The denial of the right to vote is plainly unjust and most assuredly against the spirit and letter of the constitution of the United States." TEXAS TOWN VOTES TO ADMIT COLORED PEOPLE. THINK OF IT. (By Associated Negro Press) GORMAN, Texas, July 8.—Colored people are to be admitted to this town, according to unanimous vote of the Chamber of Commerce. The City Council and the Chamber of Commerce will adjust the problems of living conditions, schools, social justice and other questions that may arise. Gorman is a rapidly growing oil town, and developments are so fast that the town and territory need all the first-class citizens obtainable. Already several hundred have come here. Bill Johnson says: "Colored folks have a habit of doing more injury to themselves by the practice of certain customs and the use of certain words, than do all the rabid attacks of the race's enemies." TRIBUNE Dean Kelly Miller Lectures at Little Rock (By Associated Negro Press) LITTLE ROCK, Ark., July 8—"Let each of us make ourselves worthy of the new order of things that the reconstruction period brings about and which, without doubt, is going to elevate and enlighten us," said Dr. Kelly Miller, dean of the Howard University of Washington, D. C., one of the foremost educators in the United States, in a lecture at the Mosaic Temple, Ninth and Broadway. Dr. Miller spoke on "The Negro in the New Reconstruction," under the auspices of the First Baptist church, which is endeavoring to raise $10,000 to build an annex. He was introduced by J. H. McConico, auditor of the Mosaic Templars, who said Dr. Miller is one of the foremost scholars since the emancipation. COLORED OFFICERS FOR COLORED TROOPS IS DEMAND OF THE HOUR COLORED OFFICERS FOR COLORED TROOPS IS DEMAND OF THE HOUR (By Associated Negro Press) CLEVELAND, Ohio, July 8.—Ermet J. Scott, assistant to Secretary Baker, forecast the inclusion of a separate negro division under colored officers in the new regular army program, in an address before the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, held in St. John's African Methodist Episcopal church. "The war," said Mr. Scott, "has demonstrated that colored men will follow their like into battle." While commending Secretary Baker for his effort to "act without prejudice toward the colored soldiers," he asserted there should have been 8,000 colored officers instead of 1200. This, he said, is based on the number of colored troops engaged, which was placed at 400,000. It has been said that greater love hath no man than this, that he give up his life for his friend. It is not stylish to die for your brother these days, but many a man suffers because of the faults and mistakes of others. Fraternity And Fidelity Will Solve Great Race Problem (By Associated Negro Press) RALEIGH, N. C., July 8.—"We be lievie that the time has come when in the home, in the school, in the church, that factional differences, denominational strife, and racial friction should be lost sight of and the children and the people be taught their proper relation to one another, and that all differences should be settled on the basis of the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man." So declared the report of the committee on race relations at the annual meeting of the Colored State Teachers' Association which adjourned in Raleigh yesterday after adopting the report which embraced this sentiment as a clause. In its closing session the convention considered very seriously the question of race relations and the best ways of promoting a more sympathetic understanding. Dr. A. M. Moore, in his presidential address before the body, suggested that perhaps there is too much discussion of late aout race antipathy, hatred and prejudice. "Little headway can be made," he added, "by continually nagging and complaining. The better way would be to seek wisely some plan to adjust frictional issues. Evidently the main accomplishment of the recent world war so far is that we have now a better opportunity to discuss peace terms than we had before. Men are entitled only to meritorious rights, or rights that come by virtue of their character, ability and patriotism. "The duty of the hour," he continued, "demands that teachers and leaders of both races apply themselves to the humane task of establishing amiable relations between the races. This must be done for the common good of all. The nightmare of social equality is the vitriol that poisons our political and national life. You, fellow workers, must sanely teach fraternity and fidelity, which, if practiced, will solve the issues that distress us as citizens of the great American republic." TWENTY YEARS OF PROGRESS FOR RACE INSURANCE COMPANY TWENTY YEARS OF PROGRESS FOR RACE INSURANCE COMPANY DURHAM, N. C., July 8.—From one room rented at $2 a month to a two-story building covering half a block in the heart of the business section of the city; from one clerk to forty clerks, and from one county to ten states, with over a half million invested in staple assets, is a part of the record shown at the celebration of the twentieth anniversary of the North Carolina Mutual Life insurance company, held here Friday and Saturday. John Merrick, the founder of the company, who is sick, is still the active president. The other officers are: A. M. Moore, secretary-treasurer; C. C. Spalding, vice-president and general manager; E. R. Merrick, assistant secretary. The twentieth anniversary brought to the city 250 representative men and women from the ten states covered by the company. The anniversary address was delivered by the Rev. Dr. R. C. Ransom of New York city, editor of the A. M. E. Church Review. He discussed the "Power of Organization." Charles Stewart of Chicago also delivered an address. NEW YORK, July 8.—Mayor Hylan has been asked to give recognition to the Negroes of this city by appointing James D. Carr a city magistrate. Mr. Carr was formerly an assistant district attorney, and for some years has been a deputy assistant corporation counsel, caring for cases in the municipal courts. Mayor Hylan, being engaged, directed his secretary to give every consideration to the delegation visiting his office. The mayor promises to give the request his most careful consideration.

Van Allen, corporal of Co. L, 372d Infantry regiment, who put a German machine gun out of action single-handed, killing four of its crew and capturing three others, one of the bravest exploits of the war, was decorated with the Medaille Militaire, the highest honor France confers on an enlisted man. Officers of the northeastern department, who turned out in a body to honor the man, who was formerly a waiter here, said they believed he was the first American soldier to receive the decoration. His valor is a distinction for the entire race. COLORED SOLDIER IS BRUTALLY MURDERED IN BIRMINGHAM, ALA. COLORED SOLDIER IS BRUTALLY MURDERED IN BIRMINGHAM, ALA. (Special to the Tribune) BIRMINGHAM, Ala., July 8.—The Colored Soldiers' organization, Lieut. Molten H. Gray, chairman, has offered a reward of $250 for the arrest of the white street car conductor who, without provocation, shot and instantly killed Sgt. Major John Green, recently discharged from the army. The dead man was well known here. The killing Sergeant Major Green was one of the most outrageous ever committed here, and feeling is high among the Negro citizens regarding it. The dead man was in the employ of a firm which puts out pictures showing the colored soldier in France. Sergeant Major Green was murdered June 15 by a conductor on an outbound Pratt Ensley car. He was in company with another soldier of the same name and they were on their way to Dozler Park. When Sergeant Major Green gave the conductor a quarter for their fare the latter passed on without returning the change. He called the conductor's attention to the fact that some change was forthcoming, but there was no response. The next time the conductor passed him Green told the conductor he was getting off at the next station and had not received his change. The conductor drew a gun and fired three times into the victim's body, one bullet entering the upper lip, another in the chin and the third in the neck. The young man who accompanied the sergeant major was shot and is in a critical condition. Sergeant Major Green was killed instantly. The conductor stopped the car and dragged the body of the dead man along the side of the track and then fled. The car on which Green was killed was a trailer and had only colored passengers. It is said that when the shooting took place most of the passengers jumped off the car and took flight, leaving the two young men at the mercy of the conductor and his revolver. 5 COLORED STUDENTS RECEIVE DEGREE FROM UNIVERSITY OF PENN. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., July 8.—Five colored students—three men and two women—were graduated from the University of Pennsylvania this year. Thursday of last week degrees were conferred on Jessie Redmon Fauset, M. A. in sociology; Sadie Tanner Mosell, M. A. in economics; Walter Fitzpatrick Jerrick, M. D.; Wilson Nelson Cunninger, D. D. S., and Wm. Henry Jenkins, D. D. S. No collegiate degrees were received. It is never to be understood that we favor, or will ever cease to object to seperarations in public institutions, based on racial lines. We are now and always shall be opposed to such distinctions between citizens. THE PHOENIX Arizona's Great Phoenix Published Every Saturday by Address all Com- PHOENIX P. O.

Under the above caption the Chicago Daily Tribune in a recent editorial, makes a scathing denouncement of the treatment colored people are receiving, because of their natural tendency to improve their living conditions. Referring to the residential trouble in Chicago the Tribune says in part: "Malice and envy and jealousy and revenge must not enter into the negotiations. In at least one instance we have noted the use of the word 'undesirable'; it is a false note. The colored people are firmly established in the United States, and, of course, in Chicago. They were not 'undesirable' when we needed thousands of them to carry on war industries here; not 'undesirable' when they eagerly downed the khaki and went away to war; and they are not 'undesirable' because they obey the instinctive desire for a home.

They want their own homes, their own locality, their own institutions, this because if the colored race is to find salvation, as its brightest minds, testify, it must alone work it out. "We believe the colored people are agreed that what they most want is the right to comfortable living conditions. We believe they have no thought of intruding, maliciously, into districts far removed from the centers of their race. We believe the thoughtful colored people grant to the whites the same ideas of ethical segregation. The principles of the adjustment, it seems, cannot fail to lie thus; lines of demarkation to be adopted out of consideration for the needs and comforts of both races; willingness to co-operate in all essentials of community betterment; and complete eagerness to confer on all subjects without recourse to bitterness. "In other words, the white people cannot adjudicate the matter to suit themselves; nor can the colored people. Clash will surely follow. The settlement must come in a meeting of the minds, so that the colored people will not think themselves wrongly used but will have the assurance that whatever ethical understandings are adopted are with their approval and for their best interests. "Property rights are inviolate; but just as much for the colored as the white. Adjustment must be reached by honest methods; cards all on the table."

DISCOVERY THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING GREAT SCHEME BUT WOULDN'T WORK (By Associated Negro Press) NEW YORK CITY, N. Y., July 8.—Armed revolt to put down the government when the Bolshevist "day" should come in this country was openly advocated for more than two years by the Rand School of Social Science the Lusy committee learned yesterday from papers seized in the raid last week on that institution. Convinced that the proof of open sedition had been presented, the state investigators gave instructions that the document be turned over to the district attorney's office, and that the attorney general of the state be asked to revoke the charter of the school. The radical groups in New York had worked out a nation-wide scheme of propaganda to convert the Negro Race to Socialism, this being regarded as essential to their plot to seize the government so the capitalist class could not organize the Negroes for defense. Running through the secret schemes of the radicals was the purpose to strike when the day arrived to take over the government and to be prepared by having all labor industries organized thoroughly. Senator Clayton R. Lusk, chairman of the committee, in reviewing the evidence at the close of the hearing, said the two amazing features were first that it was shown the Rand School and its associates were preparing for armed revolution and were urging their "army" to be ready to resist the militia and, second, that the slever propaganda designed to arouse the Negro Race was seditious and vicious. Most elaorate of all the propaganda schemes so far brought to light was that by which the radicals hoped to turn the power of the Negro Race into a great set. The whole scheme was outlined in an extensive document found in the Rand School and prepared by W. A. Domingo. "If the Socialists should elect a president, capital is prepared to use the Negroes for a guard to prevent the new government taking office. With the Negro as guards they would seize the arsenals six weeks after election. Autocracy will use force or fraud to control the Negro and suppress Socialism. It is necessary to change the race consciousness of the Negro into a class consciousness and show him his duty is to support all wings of Socialism." The means by which that end was to be accomplished were outlined as follows: Give financial support to Negro papers which support radical doctrines. "Subsidize Negro speakers and orators to spread radical teachings in Negro meetings and show that Socialists are the only true friends of the black race. "All Socialists must make a strong point of condemning all injustices to the Negro Race and particularly denounce lynching. "Prepare special propaganda for wide circulation among Negroes and get them in the habit of attending meetings at which 'their interests' are discussed by Socialist speakers. "Show that capitalists control newspapers and schools with a view to keeping alive class distinction while 'not stressing the race question.'" One of the strongest mediums of appeal would be through the church, the memorandum suggested, and this would be comparatively easy to accomplish as the "Negro minister was the most parasitical of all celestial navigators.' The document on this subject as read into the record was an exhaustive analysis of the Negro problem. It dwelt on the psychology of the Negro, showing how he views the state and government and pointing to the weak spots in his mental status through which the Socialist could force an entrance. Common Sense Of all the things this side of heaven That ever were to mortals given; The best to have, the worst to miss, The purest, sweetest source of bliss. The one last rail of Eden's fence; Sometimes, no doubt, we need to view The lightning bolt some genius threw; We pray for light and grace and peace. For sin's remove and love's increase. For greater strength, for greater power. For dying grace, for dying hour. But in this, the present tense. The world is not so bad after all. There is no person that does not love someone. Often, however, hearts are wrecked because we use the wrong clutch. The Big Closing-Out Sale Is Still On Do not overlook this great opportunity to buy goods at less than factory cost today.

NOTED ORATOR SAYS THE NEGRO SHOULD NOT REMAIN AN UNDERLING (By Associated Negro Press) BELOIT, Wis., July 8—Painting a vivid word-picture of the "Grounds of the Negro's Hope," Dr. P. O'Connell noted preacher, held spell-bound a perspiring audience in Beloit College chapel. Between every perspiration drop there was a laugh and between every laugh a sudden rapt attention to the speaker's forceful praise of the progress his race has made. any place of public amusement in the State of Washington. The jury delivered only an hour and a half Monday evening before determining the verdict, which was returned sealed. Of the twelve jurors eleven declared the $200 judgment was their verdict. Martin Johnson of Cheney replied in the negative. "I wanted the damages to be $1000 at first," said Mr. Johnson later. "dropped to $500, but did not agree with the $200 verdict. I did not think that was enough." "All of us were for damages from the start," said James Hammel, East "Of all the soldiers who answered the call to have democracy," Dr. O'Connell declared, "the Negroes stand at the top." The Negro stands at least among the chief of those who went to the rescue of civilization. They were heroes, their every death dealing instrument known to man was in their midst. Now you and I must be heroes here. "The Negro Race, which has suffered more than any race, is distinguished by an invincible hope. This hope is not a dream of sensual things, but a desire for all the privileges of doing and being all that becomes a man. It is the hope for freedom to earn a living, freedom to vote, freedom to be treated civilly as a man, freedom to unite with fellow citizens in building up his community, freedom to make the supreme sacrifice for the good of mankind and the freedom to glorify God. "The Negro's hope springs first out of his natural constitution which he brought from sunny Africa; second, from consciousness of power; third, from what the white man has done for him; and, fourth, in the providence of God, who doesn't mean that the Negro should be an underling all of his life." (By Associated Negro Press) CHICAGO, July 8.-Clarence F. Starks, business manager of the Dallas (Texas) Express, is in the city getting ideas in the interest of his newspaper, which is one of the most substantial of the Race, Mr. Starks sald to a friend: "I have come to Chicago to see how you boys put it over." He has spent considerable time with members of The Defender staff, and made his headquarters at the Associated Negro Press offices, and has been extended every courtesy by the Fourth Estate workers. In appreciation for this consideration, Mr. Starke gave a very delightful dinner in the Royal Gardens gold room. On this occasion ideas for newspaper betterment were exchanged. Those present besides the host were: Dr. Frank J. Hawkins, Dallas, Texas; Claud A. Barnett, director of the Associated Negro Press; Nahum Daniel Brascher, editor in chief of the Associated Negro Press; George H. Walker, treasurer of the Associated Negro Press, and the following from The Chicago Defender staff: Phil A. Jones, business manager; Cary B. Lewis, managing editor; L. C. Harper, city editor; A. N.

JIM CROW POLICY PROVED EXPENSIVE TO THIS COMPANY (By Associated Negro Press) SPOKANE, Was., July 8.-Holding that a Negro has the right to sit in any part of the theater to which the admission price entitles him, a jury in Superior Judge Huneke's court returned a verdict of $200 damages for S. S. Moore, Colored, against the Pantages Theatre company. The judgment is of widespread importance, for it means that Negroes cannot be segregated from whites in TEXAS NEWSPAPER any place of public amusement in the State of Washington. The jury delivered only an hour and a half Monday evening before determining the verdict, which was returned sealed. Of the twelve jurors eleven declared the $200 judgment was their verdict. Martin Johnson of Cheney replied in the negative. "I wanted the damages to be $1000 at first," said Mr. Johnson later. "I dropped to $500, but did not agree with the $200 verdict. I did not think that was enough." "All of us were for damages from the start," said James Hammel, East 1809 Hero avenue, another juror. "All declared that even if a man were black, he had the right to sit where he wanted to.' We figured, though, that $200 was enough balm for Moore's humiliation." Moore sued the "Pan" for $5,000. According to testimony, he appeared at the theatre September 15. The usher requested him to take a seat in the second balcony, stating it was the custom of the theatre to put Negroes there. Moore objected and left. He claimed the $5,000 for embarrassment and humiliation. F. W. Girand and Charles Aten were his attorneys. Geo. Armitage was attorney for the theatre company. WILL THIS STOP IT? (BY ASSOCIATED PRESS) BUFFALO, N. Y., July 8.-A measure aimed to stop lynching, which tends to increase, has been introduced in Congress by Representative Dallinger of Massachusetts. By the terms of the bill a state, or the officers of a state, in which lynching takes place, will be considered as denying to a citizen lynched the protection of the laws and a lynching will be considered a violation of the peace of the United States. Every person in a mob by which a citizen is put to death will be deemed guilty of murder, subject to prosecution, and, if convicted, subject to punishment under the laws of the state in which the lynching occurs. More than that, the state will be subject to the forfeiture of $5000 to $10,000 for the use of the dependents of the person lynched. Officers of the state who fail to prevent lynching and prosecuting officers who fail to prosecute for the offense all persons participating in a lynching mob will be deemed guilty of an offense against the United States. Representative Dallinger would provide for them a punishment of not more than two years' imprisonment or a fine not exceeding $5,000 or both. TRIED TO BLOCK APPROPRIATION FOR HOWARD UNIVERSITY (By Associated Negro Press) WASHINGTON, D. C., July 8—On a point of order raised by Representative Ragsdale of South Carolina, the appropriations for the support of Howard University, this city, carried in the sundry bill, were stricken from the bill in the House. Mr. Ragsdale contended that there is no legislation authorizing the appropriation. Chairman Good admitted that there is no legislation authorizing the appropriation, but urged Mr. Ragsdale to let the item stand as appropriations had been carried in the bill for many years. He added that there is much charity in the bill. "That does not make it right," said Mr. Ragsdale. "I make the point of order that it is not carried legally." The point was sustained against the items, aggregating the total of $80,360, and they were stricken out. Chairman Good said that the appropriation for Howard University has frequently been stricken out in the House and restored in the Senate, the confeees finally retaining it. The same course will be followed in this instance, he indicated. Howard University is one of the largest and best known schools in the United States and has hundreds of students. For tired, nervous and run-down-condition people who need a general health-building tonic. Money cheerfully refunded if not entirely satisfied. Phones: Office 3089.
