PHOENIX VOLUME XI. NO. 17 Baptist Minister Leads Georgia Mob In Recent Outrage NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 1—A story of almost unbelievable brutality and injustice has come to light from Georgia in the form of a sworn statement by a Colored clergyman. It tells of the lynching by a Georgia mob of a Colored man 72 years old, his offense being that he defended two Colored girls from attack. The affidavit follows: "I wish to inform you of an outrageous lynching which occurred at Milan, Ga., May 14, 1919, Telfair county, Mr. John Williams, sheriff. On May 24, at 1 o'clock at night, John Dandy and Lewis Evans, white, went down into the Colored people's section of the town and went to the home of a widow, by the name of Emma McCollers, who had two daughters. They knocked, but the occupants refused to open the door, and Dandy shot through the organ and the machine. That frightened the girls and they ran out to another old lady's home. "Her name was Emma Tisber; she is a widow with two little children. The white men went after these colored girls; the girls ran under the porch and hid. These white men broke down the door and tore up the floor. The old widow lady got frightened and ran and jumped in the well, and the children screamed for help. Brother Berry Washington, 72 years old, ran out with his shot gun in his hand. When he got near the hall-he met both of the white men. 'John Dandy, 25 years old, with a wife and two children, asked the old man what he came out for. He said 'To see what was the matter with the women and children.' Then John Dandy fired at him and said: "I will kill you, old man." "The old man fired and killed him (John Dandy) first. He fell with his pistol in his right hand and a cigarette in the other, and a flask of liquor fell out of his pocket. The other white fellow (Lewis Evans) ran. A. Strick lin heard it. "Another Colored man came out and advised Washington to go uptown and wake the chief of police and give himself up. The policeman's name is Mr. Stuckey. He sent Washington to McCrae jail at 2 o'clock on the night of the 24th. He stayed in jail until Saturday night, the 25th, at 12 o'clock. "A mob of 75 or 100 took Washington out of jail and brought him back to Milan. They carried him to the same spot where he shot Dandy and lynched him. He was hanged to a post, his body shot into pieces and left hanging there until 2 o'clock Sunday morning, May 26th. He was lynched because he protected his own women in his part of town. White boys came down there late hours of the night and disturbed the peace and happiness of the colored and white people. "They ordered every colored person to leave town Saturday night. Poor old men, women and children left their homes before dark. Not a colored person spent the night in their homes Saturday night nor Sunday night. Up to May 27th this had not been published in any of the Georgia papers. It was so disgraceful. Please publish that a white Baptist minister directed the mob." By Archie Lewis Mrs. Forest Burney of Phoenix arrived in camp last Sunday and has joined her husband. She is favorably impressed with Sunny Side. The Burneys will occupy one of Mose Davis' houses. Mr. Walter McKelvey returned last week from California, where he spent several weeks resting and sightseeing. Mrs. Reuben Reed, who has been quite ill is much improved, and hopes to be herself again in a few days. She is up and about, although she is still very weak. Mrs. E. A. Henderson returned last week from Superior, where she has been the past few days on business. "Yours Truly" received a letter from John Burton, who left here about a year ago for France. John is stationed at Brest, France, and is waiting for the time to come when he will set sail for the dear old U. S. A. John says that France is alright, but oh you, Arizona! His last words are: "I'll be home too sweet; the tooter the sweeter." An Eye For An Eye Is Doctrine Taught By Radical Leader (By Associated Negro Press) BOSTON, Mass., July 28.—The Rev. Dr. M. A. N. Shaw of the 12th Baptist church, Shawmut avenue and Madison street., delivered a fiery address yesterday afternoon from his pulpit on the present and future status of his Race in America. The gathering was called as an "all fraternal" meeting, delegations from Colored Masons, Odd Fellows, Eks, Knights of Pythias and the Love and Charity lodges being invited to attend. The recent lynching at Laurel, Miss., gave point to the pastor's discourse, and he described the hanging, burning and disemboweling of Mary Turner, because he said, she had said that if she knew the names of the lynchers of her husband, she would turn them over to the police. "We have got, as a people," he said, "to insist that we be lynched no more, that acts attended with savagery that would put to shame the most atrocious acts by the Germans in time of war, and practices by southern aristocrats in time of peace, shall cease. The Negro who hesitates to stop the wholesale butchery of his race should himself be lynched." The time had come, he declared, to make this understood in the State House on Beacon Hill as well as in Laurel, Miss., and asserted that no Negro was safe anywhere in America so long as mob law obtained and that it existed on Boston Common no less than in the Mississippi town. The black men in America, he continued, like the serfs of Russia and the oppressed of the Balkans and of Belgium, must stand up and die, if need be, for their rights. He commented on the statement of the Governor of Mississippi that he was powerless in the case of that lynching—that any attempt on his part to stop it would have occasioned more lynching. This, the preacher said, was true; that the way to stop lynching was for 10,000 Negroes to die at once, instead of one at a time and to see to it that 10,000 white men died too. That, he declared, would end lynching once and for all time. "You die one by one on the limbs of the pines of Mississippi, in the sight of American aristocrats, who come to witness the proceedings and you die for fun; but let 10,000 black Trojans die one death and their children will be free forever." The white people of the South, he thought, must thank their stars that the American Negro is as religious as he is, and spends much of his time on his knees in prayer instead of making bombs. He predicted, however, that the men of his Race would not always be dead to the doctrines that the foreigners are teaching in this country. The slur on his Race that "God had put a curse upon it," he answered by the declaration that the Almighty had blessed the African Race above all races on earth. Japan, on its barren reef, had been left alone to fight out its own destinies, until it had developed into a power with which all the nations of the world reckon. Had the Negroes been left alone in the wonderful land that was the spot of their nativity—which he declared was far richer than the United States—they would today be the greatest power on earth. The greatest calamity that ever overtook the Race was when it made the acquaintance of the white race. He cautioned his hearers against self-depreciation and wanted them to beaware of believing that a man had to be a white man in order to be a great man. The British empire he characterized as "the finest hypocrite in the world," which had "pulled the wool over the eyes of every nation on earth", adding: "She is going to get hers if God stays on His throne." Lloyd George, in the peace conference, he said, in constructing the League of Nations, took six votes for Great Britain and gave the Republic of Hayti and the United States one each, telling America it was an honor for her to be on a level with Hayti. "I am a Negro from the heart," asserted the preacher, "but I want to see justice done to America, whose citizens burn my people. I only wish to God that America had somebody there to protect its rights. If Mr. Wilson didn't object to my going at the time I could have done more for America." "O, the war is only just beginning," he continued. "This is only an aristice. There is going to be a tremendous war when it gets on its way." He challenged any one to search the court records of the British colonial world for evidence that crimes against ARIZONA'S GREATEST WEEKLY Rev. Sir W. J. J. Byers Again Heads Knights and Daughters of Tabor for California-Arizona Jurisdiction The Grand Session of the Sir Knights and Daughters of Tabor just closed in this city last Friday, will go down in history as one of the best ever held. Elaborate preparations had been made to entertain the delegates and everything was carried out with clock-like precision. Rev. Sir W. J. J. Byers, chief grand mentor, called the session to order Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock. All grand officers answered the roll call. The various committees were appointed, who at once went to work. The annual message of the Chief Grand Mentor showed he had given much time and thought in the past year's work. His recommendations were all accepted and adopted. The report of the Chief Grand Preceentress was full of information and was adopted. Representatives of the order were present from all over the southwest and coast points. A public reception was held Wednesday at the church on behalf of the Tabernacle, Temple and citizens of Phoenix, at which time the following program was rendered: BAT NELSON SAYS JOE GANS WAS THE GREATEST FIGHTER (Special to The Tribune) NEW YORK, July 30.—Battling Nelson, former lightweight champion of the world, was asked the other day: "Who was the greatest lightweight?" The man who asked the question expected Nelson to admit with becoming modesty that he himself was the greatest of them all. But Nelson answered quickly: "Joe Gans was the greatest lightweight of them all, and he nearly gou me in the last fight. Only the bell saved me. He was cleverer than them all and he could hit. Oh, boy, how he could hit!" "Wasn't McFarland cleverer?" was asked. "Listen," said Nelson, emphatically. "Don't insult the memory of that poor dead colored man by comparing McFarland to him. I tell you that Gans was the best and cleverest of them all." Which goes to show that ring animosities do not last. Gans probably punished Nelson more than any man he had ever met, but the old battler liked and admired him more than all the rest. women are characteristic of the black Race and said that they would search in vain. "The white people of the South must stop lynching Negroes," he declared. "The white men of the country have the power to tell the white men of the South, 'You are ruining us.'" He demanded laws that would make it possible for a governor, sheriff or other public official who surrendered a prisoner to a southern mob, to be deposed. If such a law could not be passed, then the whole country sympathizes with the South, he said, and Massachusetts is just as guilty as Texas. He likened the Negro Race cause with that of Irish Independence, saying: "We believe in Irish Freedom—in Freedom of every people. We as Negroes will do everything to help the liberation of Ireland." Urgent them to drop their petty jealousies, he told his hearers that they would have to unite their societies and clubs to work for the common end. This did not mean, he explained, submerging the identity of these orders, but uniting their efforts in defense of their rights and liberties. Agitation was all very well, but unless climaxed with a terrible blow it was useless. "Bolshevism is coming to sweep America," he declared emphatically. "It is as easy to stop the water going over Niagara as to stop Bolshevism sweeping the world. "There is no democracy in America," shouted the preacher. "This is the most vicious and abominable plutocracy that encumbers the face of the earth today." FLORIDA UNUM VIV PHOENIX, ARIZONA, AUGUST 2, 1919 J. J.

M.; WHITE WOMAN SCORES HER RACE FOR ITS PREJUDICE (By Associated Negro Press) CHICAGO, Ill., July 28.—Mrs. Blandenia Albright, a highly respected white lady of this community has issued a statement in which she describes not only the ignorance of white people concerning the ideals of Colored people, but also the folly of color prejudice. For, says Mrs. Albright: "In reply to your editorial of June 30, 'Candor Between Races,' I agree with you that the Colored boys were very anxious to fight for the United States. This was the proper way for them to feel about it, as every citizen should feel that it is his duty to defend and uphold the integrity of his country. They are not asking for any special credit for this demonstration of love for their country. They fought alongside of their white brothers not only for their country, but for principle, democracy in its broadest sense, which knows no color or race and gives opportunity and freedom to all alike; it does not discriminate or segregate. "If the United States had curbed democracy and contented herself by allowing her ships to navigate certain waters, thus obeying the wishes of Germany, perhaps, we would not have had war with Germany. But, the United States preferred war to the surrendering of democracy. Let us not make democracy a farce, but a reality. "The white people as a whole are ignorant of the ideals of Colored people, because they do not meet the thinking class. They usually meet their cook or janitor. The greatest trouble comes from ignorance on the part of the white people in prejudging their Colored fellowmen. If the white people will educate themselves to know that the only reality is spirit and matter counts for naught, they will have no trouble in living harmoniously with their Colored brothers. They will know that race worship is idolatry and will cease being a nation of race worshippers, and will recognize principle as the only reality. If this terrible war has not taught us this lesson, all the lives which have been sacrificed for democracy are in vain and we do not appreciate their supreme sacrifice." JACK JOHNSON IS TRAINING GENERALS DOWN IN MEXICO (Special to The Tribune) LOS ANGELES, Calif., July 28. Jack Johnson, former heavyweight champion of the world, is in Mexico City acting as athletic trainer for a party of Mexican generals, according to P. N. Snyder, Los Angeles contractor, who has just returned from a six months' tour of Mexico. TRIBUNE J. E. Walton, Los Angeles, C. G. S.; A. E. Bomar, San Diego, V. C. G.

Byers, left Saturday for Prescott, Arizona, where he will visit the Chapter before returning to California. The other delegates and visitors also left Saturday evening over the Southern Pacific for their homes in California. The Grand Session was held at the Second Baptist church and all delegates and visitors expressed themselves as well pleased with the manner in which Phoenix entertained them. DEMPSEY IS AFRAID CANNOT HOLD TITLE DRAWS COLOR LINE Refuses to Risk His Title to the World Championship by Match With Wills—Safety First—His Sparring Partners Before Willard Fiasco Were Colored Boxers and Jack Knows How Hard They Punched Toledo, O., July 28.—Jack Dempsey, new heavyweight champion of the world, has announced that he will not make a match with a Negro. He, therefore, has barred Harry Wills from a fight for the big title. Dempsey's sparring partners at Toledo were Bill Tate and Jamaica Kid, both Negos, but Jack hadn't defeated Willard at that time. Willard drew the color line as soon as the title was handed to him by Jack Johnson in Havana, Cuba, so that he established a precedent for Dempsey. Corbett, before he conquered John L. Sullivan, boxed sixty-one rounds to a draw with Peter Jackson, the greatest Negro heavyweight that ever came here from a foreign shore. Corbett, Fitzsimmons and Jeffries, as champions, refused to risk the title in bouts with Colored men, but Jeffries finally was forced to come out of retirement in a futile effort to regain the championship from Johnson at Rene, the latter having won it from Tommy Burns in Australia. LEAVES $20,000 TO HOUSEKEEPER ALSO GARAGE & AUTO LEAVES $20,000 TO HOUSEKEEPER ALSO GARAGE & AUTO NEW YORK, July 28.—A colored housekeeper, for thirty-five years in the service of Oliver B. Wood, a Camden business man, benefits by his will to the extent of $20,000, his residence, motor car, garage and contents of the home. To the Cooper Hospital, Camden, is left $30,000, while the residue of an estate valued at more than $150,000 goes to friends and neighbors. The housekeeper, Annie Blackstone, is the chief beneficiary of the will, which was probated today. Wood lived for many years at 312 N. 3rd street, Camden, and held much of the stock of the Hardwick & Magee Carpet Company. He had been retired for many years. HEAR THIS, O SOUTH! "The South must conceive of the Colored man as a part of the South calling for its social and racial and religious help and worthy of all it can do to make him a better citizen in every department of his being." Race Trouble At Washington Started By Service Men (Special to the Tribune) WASHINGTON, D. C., July 28. A score or more men dead or dying: hundreds injured, many seriously, and the police stations filled with prisoners, is the result of four days and nights of race rioting here. The exact number casualties is not and probably never will be known. The reign of terror has been principally spread out, in small mobs, throughout the entire city and there has been fighting even in front of the White House. The trouble began Saturday night when a crowd of soldiers, sailors and marines started out to find a Negro whom they claim had assaulted the wife of one of their number. Not locating their man, they proceeded to take revenge upon innocent Colored persons. This was resented by the residents of the district and resulted in the raiding party being badly beaten. On Sunday night the service men broke out again. Negroes were dragged from street cars and other vehicles between the Capitol and the Treasury building. One group chased a Negro near the White House. At midnight a soldier routed a group of three Colored men in front of the Treasury building. One of them was felled by a blow from a rock held in a handkerchief by the soldier. He was taken to the hospital. The others escaped. The rioters operated in the heart of the business district and ran down every Negro they could find. Five men had been attacked and beaten by marines and soldiers by 12:20 o'clock. One was in front of the Raleigh hotel. An ambulance was close by and rushed him to the hospital. A few moments later another was found in front of the Washington "Post" building and knocked down. He, too, was taken to the hospital. At the same time two marines leaped on a street car and began beating the one Negro they found. Another group of soldiers ran a man down near the Hotel Washington and felled him with a blow. A policeman is said to have seen the action without attempting to make an arrest. A Negro was forced to get off a street car in front of the White House soon afterward. Negroes Arm Themselves The rioting continued on Monday and Tuesday, but the Negroes had armed themselves and were getting the best of the clashes, except where the police came on th scene, and, as a general rule, accepted the theory that they were the aggressors and sided with the whites. Many Negroes have been severely injured and two are known to have been killed while defending themselves. None have been free from assaults. Employees in government buildings and chauffeurs for senators, representatives and other high government officials have been victims of the mob. Two members of the Home Guard were killed Tuesday night and a dozen or more other white men were taken to hospitals. There have been more than 200 arrests, mostly Negroes, who are being heavily fined and given long jail sentences for carrying weapons. The city is now under military control. Two thousand soldiers, marines and sailors are on duty with the 700 police and a large force of Home Defense Guards. It is not believed there will be any further trouble. Looks Like Propaganda It is not only believed by the Colored people, but is freely expressed by many prominent whites that the rioting is a result of propaganda to discredit the Negro and keep Congress from enacting anti-lynching laws and enforcing the Fourteenth Amendment upon the South. This seems plausible when it is seen that every crime of any sort that has been committed here during the past month is charged up to Negroes, and every time there seems to be a lull in the onslaughts now going on on a new cry arises that another Negro has assaulted a white woman. This keeps the desperados inflamed and they attack every Negro found on the street, street cars and in automobiles. Of course, the victims are innocent of doing any wrong, but this matters not with the rioters. In the thickly populated Negro districts the residents seem to be well able to take care of themselves and a great many who must go back and forth to their employment are carrying weapons for their protection. Whenthey are attacked, which is usually by a gang, they attempt to defend themselves. In nearly every instance they are blamed for the clash 5 Cents a Copy; $2 a Year N. A. A. C. P. Calls Wilson's Attention To Recent Outbreaks NEW YORK, July 21—In connection with the race riots in Washington, D. C., the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People today telegraphed President Wilson warning of the danger of such outbreaks elsewhere. The telegram called upon him as president to condemn mob violence in the national capital and as commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the nation to enforce military law. The telegram is as follows:— "July 21, 1919. Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States, White House, Washington, D. C. In the name of twelve million Negroes of the United States, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People respectfully calls your attention to the shame put upon the country by the mobs, including United States soldiers, sailors and marines, which have assaulted innocent and unoffending Negroes in the national capital. Men in uniform have attacked Negroes on the streets and pulled from streets cars to beat them. Crowds are reported by New York Times to have directed attacks against any passing Negro by cries of "there he goes." The effect of such riots in national capital upon race antagonism will be to increase bitterness and danger of outbreaks elsewhere. National Association for the Advancement of Colored People calls upon you as president and commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the nation to make statement condemning mob violence and to enforce such military law as situation demands. JOHN R. SHILLADY, Sec'y. National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. and are accused of being the aggressors. Detectives Taken for Rioters A number of police officers have been injured, and in two cases reported killed. This is due to the fact that the officers were in plain clothes and in rushing upon the Negroes or into their homes were taken by them to be rioters. There has been considerable shooting from automobiles, but in the darkened streets it is hard to tell whether the occupants are white or Colored. Attack Howard Theatre Patrons A crowd of whites began a new offensive Monday night against the Colored people leaving the Howard Theatre and the result was that a dozen white men were badly beaten up in the melee, and a policeman said to be the crack pistol shot of the metropolitan force, was severely wounded. "Teach Negroes a Lesson" The opinion was abroad Monday that the police were unable to cope with the condition and it was for this reason that scores of young men, chiefly in the uniform of soldiers, sailors and marines, took it into their hands to, as they said, "teach a lesson" to the Negroes. The center of the conspiracy was at two huts, maintained at the Y. M. C. A. and the Knights of Columbus on Pennsylvania avenue. It has been from these huts that groups of white men have sailed forth in search of Negroes. Secret Society Claim So desperate has been the retaliation of the Negroes who have been attacked that the whites are claiming that the Colored men have a secret society known as the "Boule," the members of which have agreed to stand out against the white population if occasion arises. Appeal to the Commission In an appeal issued by District Commissioner Brownlow Monday night, he clearly indicates who he considers the aggressors in the trouble. The appeal read as follows: "In common with every good citizen, I am determined to do everything humanly possible to prevent a recurrence. "I call upon every citizen to exercise his full influence to this end. "The action of the men who attacked innocent Negroes cannot be too strongly condemned, and it is the duty of every citizen to express his support of law and order by refraining from any inciting conversation or the repetition of inciting rumors and tales." The balance of the appeal is taken up with notification of the police and military detail and a request that people stay off the streets.

BEST CITIZENS OF WASHINGTON DEPLORE RIOT CONDITIONS (By Associated Negro Press) WASHINGTON, D. C., July 28.—Determination on the part of the Colored population of Washington to apprehend the criminal guilty of the repeated assaults upon white women, the hope that he will be punished to the full extent of the law, and sorrow that such an incident has occurred to reflect discredit on their Race were expressed today in statements from prominent Colored leaders of the city. Feeling that the action of the criminal has deleteriously affected all Washington's Colored population, the District of Columbia branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has issued a statement urging that nothing be left undone to bring to justice all those implicated in the outbreak of lawlessness. The statement issued by the organization deplores the fact that the action of the criminal has reflected discredit on all of Washington's population, and cites the action of the Chevy Chase club in discharging Colored caddies over fifteen years old from the links, terrorization of innocent Colored men in Montgomery county, and the recent case in Washington, when a group of men threatened a Colored boy with a rope until the police intervened. When the fact that the criminal was a Negro is repeatedly emphasized, the statement continues, "the blackness of the criminal becomes more important in some minds than the blackness of his crime, popular passions become further inflamed, without any increase in the chances for apprehending the criminal, but with grave possibility of injury to innocent people."

To do everything in their please magnifying alleged crimes of thus appealing to the unruly pas- need to keep our heads in every by prejudice or passion and work als of any sort and especially resent the attacks upon womanhood and the "reign of terror" which has prevailed in certain portions of the district during the past week. "The Colored people of the District," he said, "in common with all good citizens, have no sympathy with criminals of any kind. The criminals, white or colored, should speedily be brought to justice by the constituted authority and through the orderly procedure of the court receive penalties to the fullest extent of the law." The Rev. A. C. Garner of the Plymouth Congregational church, (colored), state that "it is extremely unfortunate that our Race is producing so large a number of men who are guilty of crimes so shameful and disastrous to our race standing." "We deplore particularly the class of outrage which this fugitive from justice is alleged to have committed. It is my belief, however, that this element of our population will grow less and less as we ourselves awake and purge our social system of this class of rascality. We express our deepest sympathy for the victims of these attacks and we shall exert all our power to bring the fugitive to justice. "We deeply appreciate the orderly way in which our white fellow citizens have gone about ferreting out this criminal, and we are thankful and glad there has been no resort to the violence which has been suffered many times by innocent Negroes in other communities." TheRev. Chas. T. Benjamin of the Church of God, 914 S. St., NW., said: "It grieves my heart and the hearts of all people when we hear of these outrages. All I can say is that we are doing and shall continue to do all in our power to stop them." Speaking for the congregation of his church, the Fifteenth Street, Presbyterian church, the Rev. F. J. Grimke THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING said: "Every good citizen should make it a point to suppress crime. Our citizens are making it a point to suppress crime and apprehend the criminal. WASHINGTON—THE CENTER OF DISGRACE (By Associated Negro Press) Washington, the nation's capital city, has at last joined the shining galaxy of cities of blood-Springfield, O; Springfield, Ill.; Atlanta; Brownsville, Houston, East St. Louis, et al, et al. It is a grim and serious subject to comment upon. Paris, London, Rome and Berlin, and all the other capitals of the world are seriously discussing in their newspapers and houses of legislation and on the streets, what occurred in Washington. Washington has raised the curtam, and from being known as the center of freedom and justice, it has been transformed into the center of disgrace. Is, or is not this the time for prophesies or warnings? Whether yes or no, old World newspapers are doing both. It is hardly time for threats, by either whites or blacks, but the murmurings of such startle the ears of the listener at the "listening post." The white people of our nation, by and large, have been weighed in the balance, and they have been found wanting. They have been found wanting in acting squarely and fairly on the things they teach and preach and fight and die for. We have accepted their teaching and preaching at face value, and we have fought and died for those principles, only to discover they are seldom put into practice. Patience has turned to weariness, and enthusiasm to disgust. We may not be accorded equality in even handed justice everywhere, but we cannot be segregated from the world wide condition of social unrest. A splendid group of white people, North and South, East and West, recognize this fact, and are much in earnest over plans for treating us more like human beings. This fine group of whites has yet to contend with that shallow, demagogic element that stop at nothing, but in their true light are mere cowards and notorious examples of ignorance. It must be understood by all of us that that group does not represent the true spirit of America, even though they have exercised the greatest amount of nerve, speaking in the slang sense only. Lynchings and riots are their pastime, but their day of reckoning is fast approaching. The Associated Press, with its infamous policy of giving us the worst of everything, has run true to form in its dispatches concerning the Washington riots. Furnishing dispatches to the daily newspapers, always in its first paragraph, it attributes the source of the trouble to our people "molesting white women." That, the Associated Press knows, is always fuel for the fire of fury. It is a damnable shame for such a great service to stoop to such harmful and untruthful propaganda. The Associated Press always carries its point, however. It arouses certain elements of whites to indignation by the thoughts of the ever "burly black brutes," and it stirs the people of our group to a state of fighting mad by the folly of it—for WE know "the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth." The American people are much in need of militant, fearless, just and determined leadership. There is very little of it at this time in Washington, or any other part. But it must come before the climax is reached, and we again have peace and good will. There cannot be real peace and good will, however, without justice, and this justice is not yet, not yet, not yet. Right will prevail—some day, but between this day and that day, there can be only disaster after disaster, regardless of consequences, if it is to be expected that the 15,000,000 people of this group must forever and forever submit to the wrongs of oppression. In the light of common sense reasoning, it is manifestly unfair and inhuman to expect it. NEAR RIOT IN COATESVILLE (By Associated Negro Press) COATESVILLE, Pa., July 22. — A race riot was narrowly averted today when police officers, led by Mayor A. H. Swing, swooped down upon a crowd of several hundred colored persons congregated at Seventh and Merchant streets. Nine Negroes were placed under arrest and the police tonight are searching for several others who are alleged to have made threatening remarks. A HOT RACE (Battle Creek, Mich., News.) From Washington, D. C., the seat of the government of this country, comes the report that the police department of Washington, and a mob of citizens are in a race. A Negro is wanted for a crime. If the police catch him first, he will be tried for his offense. If the mob gets him first, he will be hung, forthwith, and without trial. ALTON. Ill—Miss Eunice Simms holds the long distance yawning record. She made it when she yawned an hour and a half at one "stretch." Her dislocated jaw has been reset and she's ready for a new record. (By Associated Negro Press) PROVIDENCE, R. I., July 22.—A memorial meeting to commemorate the death of Negro young men in the war was held in the Union Congregational church. Rev. Alfred F. Ware, of Worcester, Mass., delivered an address. Rev. Mr. Ware was in charge of the Y. M. C. A. secretaries of the Ninety-third division, which included the 369th Infantry, nown as the "Hell Fighters." HIGH TIME (Syracuse, N. Y., Post-Standard) If this country of ours is what we like to think of it as being—a land of justice—a true democracy—then it was high time that it made a convincing demonstration to that effect by putting a stop to lynchings." SELF-DETERMINATION (Baltimore, Md., Mfg. Record) "Self-determination" is what an American Negro wants for the Negroes of this country, and why not, if all other people are to have the same privilege? WASHINGTON — The War Department has issued a warning to the public against "solicitors of so-called historical books and publications of no historical value published solely for commercial purposes." The department has been informed that in many parts of the country agents are calling upon parents of soldiers offering for various sums to publish photographs and service records of the soldiers in books covering a single county or city. Most of these books have been found to possess no value. JOPLIN, Mo.—J. Lawrence Heil, a grocer of Picher, Okla., was rescued by Sheriff Bob Frazier of Cherokee County, Kan., from a mob which had taken him from his store, carried him across the Kansas line and was about to lynch him near Baxter Springs, Kan. Heil, it is alleged, attacked Mrs. V. Barnett, wife of a Picher man, in her home. She is the mother of a 3-year-old child. Heil, now in jail at Treece, Kan., denies the charge. BENTON, Ill.—Five robbers held up the officer of the Middle Fork mine, two miles east of this place, and after one of them had been killed and three persons in the office had been shot, the others escaped with $41,000. SPRINGFIELD, O.—For refusing to serve Ralph W. Tyler of Columbus, a meal at the Ohio electric station, this city, the Union News company, operators of the eat shop, have been ordered to pay him the sum of $100, the result of a damage suit entered by Mr. Tyler.

The thief stole Genevieve's diamonds and then paused to take a warm plunge in her bath tub. SAN FRANCISCO. — Prohibition's first victim here is William Hohnmann, ex-bartender, prostrated on the first warm day following prohibition. WARRENBURG, Mo.—Jones Leedy waits on no man. Harvest hands were not forthcoming at top wages so he shocked 65 acres of wheat by himself. He's 77 years old, he says, The fume over Flume continues Italy threatens withdrawal unless there should be a free port in Flume with annexation to Italy. This is the most belligerent looking peace that ever presented itself to a peace-loving man. The electrocutioner of New York has increased his death fee from $50 to $100. It costs to put Sing Sing victims out of their misery. How long will a so-called democratic Christian people cease to burn each other? How long will public opinion allow a Mississippi governor to stand supinely by while mob rule reigns, weakly saying, "I'm utterly powerless?" How long before the right to fight and die will go hand in hand with the right to vote and live? How long, oh Lord, how long! COLUMBIA, S. C.—W. P. Pollock, of Cheraw, formerly United States senator, in a commencement address at one of the colleges here, discussed a way to provide suffrage for the white women of the state, but eliminate the colored women. LEAVENWORTH, Kans. — "T. W. Bell, attorney, went to Kansas City, Kan., to argue on a writ for the release of the forty-one former Negro soldiers, confined in the United States penitentiary for their alleged connection with the Houston riots in November, 1917. Thirteen of the colored soldiers were hanged and the others sent in here on long sentences. ST. LOUIS, Mo.—This' city is looking forward with enthusiasm to the coming session of the Negro Business League. President A. E. Malone of the local league, reports that the citizens are co-operating to the fullest extent to ensure a successful meet. MACON, Ga.—The "shimmy" dance has been barred by the police in Macon. Along with it goes the check and tickletoe steps. It is probable the police will assist in keeping the ban on the dances considered by the dancing masters as "vugar and a horrible mutilation of the fine art of dancing."

JUST LIKE LOOKING THRU GLASS (Chattanooga, Tenn., Times) "It does not take a prophet or the son of a prophet, reading these frequent and fatal clashes between the whites and blacks in various sections of the south, all of them akin to this reported riotous proceeding in Texas, to warn us of what to expect when we begin to reap the full harvest of the seed of demagogy, of treason to southern traditions and southern institutions sown by our politicians and representatives, congressional and legislative, during the past eight or ten years. We have been voting to put undesirable laws upon the states of the East, North and West, and now the East, North and West are not going to be at all gentle in their treatment of us." MORE COLORED PEOPLE EXPECT TO GO NORTH SOON (By Associated Negro Press) CHARLOTTE, N. C., July 28- "I expect to see a hegira of Negroes from the South toward the Northern industrial centers in the near future," said Capt. J. E. Walker, a student of affairs, "I shouldn't be surprised to see five million of them go in a few years and it would be best thing for them and the South that ever happened. The American Federation of Labor has recognized their right to enter that body without limitation and with immigration from Europe restricted, many Europeans, perhaps a million and a half, are going back to their own country. Their going will help to settle the so-called Negro problem as well as an economic problem." PAGE THREE PAGE FOUR By Mme. C. C. Ciemoha Rev. C. A. Gilmore, pastor of the Second Baptist church at Phoenix, paid a visit to Mt. Calvary Baptist church of this city a few days ago. We highly appreciate his visit and trust he will come again. We were indeed glad to have Rev. J. B. Bell of Phoenix with us a few Sundays ago. He officiated at the funeral of Mrs. Florence Banks who departed this life only a few days ago. The funeral was attended by a large gathering of friends and acquaintances and the services were very impressive. The Woman's Home Missionary Society held a joyful meeting last Monday afternoon. Rev. J. B. Bell was a welcome visitor and favored the ladies with a few choice remarks. At 8 o'clock, Monday evening, four candidates were baptised by Rev. Bell. Following are the names of those who were immersed: Mr. Charlie Dotson, Mr. Alex Thompson, Mrs. Cooper and Miss Julia B. Watson. Rev. John H. Moore has returned to Tucson and will preach Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings at Prince Chapel, A. M. E. church. Rev. R. R. Jones organized a local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. Friday night, July 19. Temporary officers are J. A. C. Jones, president; Harry Nelson, secretary, and Harry Tidrington, treasurer. A very unique reception was given last Thursday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. C. Jones, to announce the approaching marriage of their daughter, Miss Christena Jones, to Mr. William Blakley. The spider's web idea was used. Immediately upon on the arrival of the guests they were uahered into the room where tiny pink ribbons were hanging from the chandlers. Each guest took one of the ribbons and followed it in and out of the rooms and at the end of the ribbons they found miniature pink baskets of rice, cupids, shoes and other wedding symbols. The bride-to-be found a diamond ring at the end of her ribbon and she slipped it on her finger amid the congratulations of her friends. The guests were then seated in the spacious dining room and refreshments were served. The color scheme of pink and white was artistically carried out. The center piece on the table held a large white cake, its only decoration being a pink and white candle, which was tied with a beautiful ribbon to represent the "lover's knot." The wedding will take place the latter part of August. GHANDLER By Mrs. Jack Gray. Mr. Mose Green received a letter this week from his brother, Jerry S. Green, who is in the navy and assigned to the U. S. S. Flamingo, now engaged in mine sweeping off the coast of Scotland. He sends best regards to all friends and relatives and states that he would like to hear from some of his friends. His address is: Jerry S. Green, U. S. S. Flamingo, care P. M., New York; N. Y. Mr. Mose Green has just finished threshing his wheat which yielded him 15 sacks to the acre. Mr. Cody A. Martin is wearing a broad smile these days. He says that his cotton is opening and will be ready to pick in a few weeks. Mrs. Jack Gray has been on the sick list the past week but it now on the road to recovery. Mrs. E. Fuller, Mrs. Jack Gray and Mr. Embee spent an enjoyable half day at the Martin ranch Sunday. Mrs. Ed Burkhardt has been on the sick list the past week. Jack Gray just pulled a watermelon that weighed 36 pounds and was two and one-half feet long. Just one out of many. Sort of E Pluribus Unum, as it were. Mrs. E. Fuller is in receipt of a letter from Mr. Walter McConnell, who is now in New York enjoying himself. He states that he will return late in the fall. MESA Those reported on the sick list last week are doing nicely at present. Mrs. Harris, who has been indisposed the past few days is getting along nicely. Miss Juanita Gillispie gave a charming entertainment at her residence on Palmer avenue. The entertainment was for the benefit of the Sunday school. Every one who attended enjoyed himself and we hope some one will give another soon. The Popularity S. S. Rally which was held here last Sunday was a huge success. The contest was between the Second Baptist Sunday school of Phoenix and the Mt. Calvary Baptist Sunday school of Mesa. Mt. Calvary S. S. proved the most popular by raising the largest amount of money and thus saved its S. S. banner. Our Sunday school is truly alive and at work. We were blessed with the entire congregation of the Second Baptist church, also its pastor, Rev. C. A. Gilmore. A full quote of teachers from the S. S. were present. Rev. Gilmore mounted the rostrum at 3:30 p. m. and preached a wonderful sermon. His subject was: "I will arise and go back home" the morning services, Rev. J. M. Robinson held the audience spellbound for half an hour with a masterful outburst of oratory. His subject was: "Study the Bible." Rev. Bentley, the pastor was active and on the job every minute during the day. A paper by Mrs. Ada Jones of Phoenix, on Sunday school and church work, was indeed a rare treat. Every one enjoyed the paper read by Mrs. Jones and much favorable comment has been made concerning it. The superintendent of the Phoenix S. S., Mr. T. T. Turner, played well his part and showed that he is a capable, intelligent leader. Total proceeds for the day were $152.79. The A. M. E. church is progressing nicely. Last week Mrs. L. Wilson gave a church supper which proved quite successful. The sum of $23 was raised. The A. M. E. church people are planning to build soon. Their pastor, Rev. J. A. Wimberley, is struggling hard to lead them to success. The A. M. E. church, under the able leadership of Rev. J. A. Wimberley is progressing nicely. He has some strong members in the church and all are working hard to build up an A. M. E. church here. The rally a few Sundays ago netted them $85.30. We wish them success in their work. Mr. S. L. Daniels, pioneer resident of the Gem City and for the past 18 months the official representative for the Phoenix Tribune in this district, has departed for California and the Northwest. We regret the loss of this valuable citizen and trust he will find it convenient to return again unto us some bright day. Mr. Robert Johnson and Mrs. Delia Robinson of Roswell, N.

The boys of the 25th Inf. are always glad when the Phoenix Tribune arrives as also are the civilians. Such wholesome literature is inspiring. Mr. Johnnie Downs left last week for Phoenix, where he will make his home. Geo. Brown, Jr., and little Frank O'Neil accompanied him to the capital city. Mr. L. Blackman returned to this city last week after several months spent in the east. He visited Kansas City, Chicago and was present at Toledo, Ohio, to witness the great fistic battle between Jess Willard and Jack Dempsey. We are glad to have Mr. Blackman with us again. He says the east is O. K., but give him Arizona every time, especially Alo. Dr. B. F. Wright of the 25th Infantry has been so favorably impressed with the Phoenix Tribune that he said he was going to try and place it in the hands of every member of the regiment.

They returned Monday evening rejoicing over the great success that the gallant Tenth Cavalry had in the meet. They report an enjoyable time. Those of us who did not go rejoice with those who went for we are proud of our colored soldiers and the splendid record they have made. Ladies of Mt.

The largest gathering of colored people ever seen in Douglas was present at this supper. Mrs. Brown regrets that she was not better prepared to care for them.

Simmons was automatically in charge during their absence. IS THIS PLAIN ENOUGH? (Richmond, Va., Journal) "Where does The Evening Journal stand," asks the Square Deal, published under the auspices of the Richmond Central Trades and Labor Council. The question is propounded in relation to the admittance of Colored men to labor organizations composed of white persons. Our reply is that we stand four square with the attitude of the American Federation of Labor which, in recent annual convention at Atlantic City, voted unanimously to admit the twelve million Negro workers of the country to equal membership of all international unions. GENEROUS HANDY (New Orleans, La., Times-Pic'yune) Generous Handy signs himself "Handy" and proceeds to object to any effort of whites and Colored people holding conferences on the subject of Race adjustments. Handy tells us what we ought to have and then stops as suddenly as a ball hitting a brick wall. Listen to Handy: "We do not need columns to state a working plan between us and the Negro. Give him his church and his religion and his right to worship in his church unmolested. Give him good houses to live in, good water to drink. Give him plenty of work to do, and pay him for the work he does. Give him the market price for his produce, honestly measured and weighed. Then close." URORA, Ill., July 23.—There was a big uproar at the end of the fifth heat in the 2:25 pace yesterday when Miss Althea, bay mare owned by J. M. Edy and driven by Green Honey, Aurora, was beaten by Roger C., in what would have been the deciding heat. The time was absurdly slow, 2:411-4. The crowd was so angry it did not give the judges an opportunity to make an announcement. Presiding Judge Talbot declared the heat would have to be run again. Rain began falling, but the horses were sent away, and Miss Althea won handily in 2:26. If you are ashamed of your race, strive to make it worthy of your respect.
