NEGROES ESTABLISH COLONY IN LOWER CALIFORNIA, AVERS
Encenada, Lower Calif., Nov. 18.—A Negro state in this section of Lower California is among the probabilities of the near future. At least this is the prediction of a group of enterprising Colored men who recently organized The Lower California Mexican Land and Development Company. Twenty-one thousand eight hundred acres of land have been purchased by this company near here. It is a rich, dark soil land highly suitable for agricultural purposes and the climate is the most salubrious in the western hemisphere. In fact, according to the best known authorities in this section this Negro company has been more than fortunate in the selection of the site they have made for their project. No winter, an average temperature of not more than 79 degrees the year round, make the proposed colony an ideal proposition from the very start. The scheme as announced by Hugh E. MacBeth, well known Negro attorney, is to place at least 200 families of industrious Negroes on a big block of agricultural land below the border and permit them to acquire possession of their farms on long-term payments.
The company was incorporated for $250,000 and Mr. McBeth states that virtually the entire issue of stock was taken up by wealthy Negroes in this city. The colonization company has already sent several families to "Little Liberia," he says, and an active campaign for colonists will be made during the next six months. The colony lies sixty-eight miles south of San Diego, thirty-seven miles northeast of here and five miles inland from the coast. It is believed that 70 per cent of the tract is irrigable. It is flanked by mountains of the coast range.
This tract of farm land was purchased by Los Angeles Negroes in 1918 and since that time has been used largely for wheat growing. Complete soil and water tests have been made and the company is now ready to break the land up into units of forty acres and multiplies thereof for the benefit of homeseekers
In the opinion of Mr. Troy, who heads the company, the oil outlook is quite as promising as the agricultural future of the district in question. He declares that wells of good water can be secured at a depth of from six to twenty feet, and that the supply seems inexhaustible. The lands lie alongside the Mexican highway leading to San Diego. Roads are not good but the company hopes to improve them when colonists arrive in large numbers.
The land is too near the coast for good cotton culture. The best results will be secured by growing live stock and such crops as walnuts, deciduous and citrus fruits, alfalfa, potatoes and melons.
Next spring, officers of the company, with several prominent Mexicans from this section will make a tour of the United States, visiting many cities, where wealthy Negroes reside, to lay the facts before them and secure their moral and financial support for the undertaking.

"It is not our purpose to establish this colony as a retreat for povertystricken Negroes," says Mr. MacBeth. "The country is raw and undeveloped and it will take cracker-jack farmers to bring out the best that is in it, but there are wonderful possibilities hidden there for the man who has a little livestock and a little machinery and a great deal of determination.
"Probably as many as fifty Negro families will go from southern California to the colony, but our present aim is to go into the southern states and take from there to Mexico the best Colored farmers the South has produced.
Mr. MacBeth thinks the Negro colony of Lower California will serve as an entering wedge for the white man in Mexico. He holds the opinion that as the Negro gains foothold there and proves his value as a citizen, the Mexican will be more friendly to American capital. "That's why I am giving my best efforts to this colonization plan. It appeals to me as being a wonderful opportunity for Colored people."
JEFFERIES-JOHNSON PICTURES MAY BE SHOWN IN CHICAGO
(Associated Negro Press)
Chicago, Ill., Nov. 18.—All bars are down in Chicago as far as motion pictures of prize fights are concerned.
Chief of Police Fitzmorris last Friday directed the censor in charge of the police department motion picture bureau to approve an application for a permit for the exhibition of the Jeffries-Johnson fight pictures which have been barred in Chicago for more than ten years. "I cannot give a permit for the Dempsey-Carpentier pictures and withhold a permit for the Jeffries-Johnson pictures," the chief said referring to an opinion of the city law department which held that he had no power to refuse a permit to exhibit the Dempsey-Carpentier films.

PHOENIX, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER, 19, 1921
REV. A. J. WOODWARD, D. D.
Several months ago, the Rt. Rev. L. W. Kyles, bishop of the eighth Episcopal district of the A. M. E. Zion church, purchased the old Pentecostal mission at 10th street and East Washington and until he could decide on a suitable minister to send to this charge, granted the Colored people of Phoenix the privilege of using the church as a sort of community center. Last week the bishop found his man and has sent him to take charge of the church. He is the Rev. A. J. Woodward, missionary evangelist and formerly presiding elder of the Rocky Mountain District of the A. M. E, Zion church. His district included the states of Idaho, Montana, Nevada, North, and South Dakota and Wyoming. Prior to serving as missionary evangelist and presiding elder, the Rev. Dr. Woodward pastored some of the most important charges in the Rocky Mountain region. He comes highly recommended by this bishop as a fearless pulpit orator and a man who does things.
The first services will be held at this church Sunday, November 20, and there will be preaching at 11 o'clock in the morning and 8 o'clock in the evening. The general public is invited to attend these services and lend encouragement to the new minister. The church has been thoroughly cleansed and new pews installed and is as comfortable as any church in the city. Dr. Woodward is a man of pleasing personality, scholarly, yet modest and unassuming. All Phoenix should turn out and hear him on Sunday at the A. M. E. Zion church, corner 10th street and Washington.

DR. EMMETT J. SCOTT DELIVERS PRINCIPAL SPEECH TO CONFERENCE
(Associated Negro Press)
Detroit, Mich., Nov. 18.—The first session of the National Conference of the Methodist church opened Tuesday morning, November 15th at 10:30 o'clock in the Auditorium of Central Methodist Episcopal church. The entire official body of the Methodist Episcopal church in America and a large proportion of pastors and laymen representing the various areas was present. The chief address Tuesday evening was delivered by the Hon. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-Treasurer of Howard University. Among other things Dr. Scott said: "The new spirit which has gripped the hearts and souls of men the world over since the war;—Eager and willing, 400,000 American Black men responded to the call of the colors. Nearly 200,000 of them went overseas to fight for a democracy which they but imperfectly understood, but which has been pictured to them as an idealism as holy as ever Crusader went forth to battle for. The Negro loyalty remained untainted; he resisted the temptation to nurse his grievances. Patroltotally and heroically he met every human test.
"And now the war is over. The disappointment o a fabled democracy set him thinking awe. Disappointments make men philosophers. Now as never before, Negroes are thinking not as individuals but as a group. We share a common grief, a common disappointment that a great nation which in war promised, should in peace deny to them "The New Freedom." The Negro was called to the colors like other men. He feels that if his country, in its hour of trial and peril compels him to fight its battles, it should, in time of peace, secure to him complete protection of life and liberty. He feels the urge of manhood like other men. He feels that he should enjoy the same civil and political rights without distinction that other men of the republic enjoy. "As the great Methodist Episcopal church took the leadership in bringing about a solution of the problems of reconstruction, and readjustment following the civil war, I am sure it will meet the challenge of the present hour with the spiritual leadership hour with the spiritual leadership which has never faltered in the presence of a great moral crisis. In the past the church has proven her great power; in the present she stands steadfast and immoval for all thin righteous; into her most capable hands let us with reverence place the destiny of men and nations."
Thursday night saw the close of the conference. It was a joint session of the national conference delegates, the Detroit area delegates, and citizens of Detroit in the auditorium of the Woodward Avenue Tabernacle. The subject for this great mass gathering was "Christ and Nations."

BLACKS HELP ELECT DEMOCRATIC MAYOR IN CITY OF NEW YORK
BLACKS HELP ELECT DEMOCRATIC MAYOR IN CITY OF NEW YORK
(Associated Negro Press)
New York City, Nov. 18.—The political master minds have something to think about. Mayor Hylan, democrat, New York has been swept into office by more than 400,000 plurality, and the Colored American of Harlem added the might of their votes to the result. In some precincts Mayor Hylan received as many as six votes among Colored to one for the republican nominee. There was never a more strenuous campaign for votes with the group than was made by democratic Tammany Hall. There were clubs by the score; literature by the ton; signs by the acre and enough Hylan enthusiasm to make high waves in the Atlantic ocean. Mayor Hylan personally spoke several times in the district, and capped the climax Sunday by reviewing the mammoth civic and military parade, and delivering an address at the ground breaking for the new 15th regiment armory.
In Virginia, the "Lily Whites" who hoped to carry the state by their new program of eliminating the Negro votes from the repubilran party, were repudiated by more than 60,000 votes. he "Lily Black" ticket, headed by John Mitchell for governor, polled more than 20,080 votes, a most significant achievement. In Richmond a lack of organization was shown. It is claimed only 2800 Colored voters were registered and Mitchell in his own city secured only 500 votes. The leaders in Virginia are encouraged by the remarkable showing throughout the state and plan to redouble their efforts. In Louisville, while the republican city ticket was successful, the Lincoln Independents polled a alrge vote, cutting down the republican plurality, and the state ticket went democratic. Wilson Lovett, candidate or legislature led the ticket, Warley and Cole, close seconds.
Returns for alderman in various places, including New York have been slow coming in. George Harris was defeated, losing by a narrow margin of 105 votes, Harris ran a good race in a campaign filled with abuse and personalities. Dr. Roberts was defeated.

RACE PROBLEM NOW WORLD PROBLEM SAYS NOTED LECTURER
(Associated Negro Press)
Chicago, Ill., Nov. 18.—Walter F. White, of the N. A. A. C. P. and who represented the Associated Negro Press at the Pan-African Congress, was a visitor in Chicago last week. Mr. White came to address a mass meeting in interest of the association at the Wendell Phillips high school He is doing much to focus the attention of the people upon the work which the association is doing and made a splendid impression. Mr. White said: "The Negro was almost as much a topic of conversation in Europe as he is in America. The race problem is no longer an American problem, but a world problem.
"The effect of lynchings of American Negroes has been one of horror on the rest of the civilized world; it has injured the esteem in which the American government is held by the peoples of European nations and has directly or indirectly bred a race hatred among South African whites that is said to be responsible for "Frequently and wanton murder" of Colored people in South Africa.
"A delegate from South African reported in the congress that the murder of South African Colored people is becoming a common thing. I am convinced that the race hatred responsible is due to lynchings in the United States, to the fact that our federal government has taken no decisive steps to wipe them out and to the wide publicity given the lynchings in foreign newspapers.
"The British press I was astonished to learn, is playing up lynchings, whether from a deliberate desire to inflame the people of Great Britain I cannot say. Englishman after Englishman said to me: 'Yours must be a barbarous country and your people a barbarous people, for none but a barbarous government and a barbarous people would permit unpunished, the burning at the stake of human beings, no matter what their color.' The Pan-African Congress, Mr. White said, will consolidate the forces working for the betterment of the Colored race by the establishment of contact between world leaders to the end that there may be a solution of the Negro problem on economic principles. An international bureau, to be established in Paris, has been authorized and arrangements are being made for a special division of the bureau of labor, league of nations, to make a world inquiry into conditions surrounding Colored labor and eventually prevent its exploitation.
Mr. Jones, one of the post barbers has been missing from his home and post of duty since Nov. 3rd. No one his seen or heard from him since the above date and his wife and friends are worried over his disappearance. Anyone knowing his whereabouts, will please communicate with this camp. The Medical Department had the pleasure of welcoming Staff Sgt. Bell and wife. Sgt. Bell is an oldtimer, but is new to Fort Huachuca. He was formerly stationed at Fort Benjamin Harrison, Ind. Pvt. 1st Class Robert A. Keaton and wife made a flying trip to Nogales last Saturday. Mrs. O. B. Dorsey returned last week from Denver, Colo., and El Paso, Texas where she has been visiting friends. Huachuca must be a pretty good place after all. They go, but always return. One of our Sergeants, a few days ago could not find any trouble and decided to have it out with his motorcycle and side car. The motorcycle must have gotten the best of the fray, as the Sergeant is in the hospital suffering with a broken leg and a fractured ankle and the car is still on the road carrying the chief.

Mrs. L. A. McCarty returned last week from Los Angeles where she has been in a hospital for the past three weeks.

After taking the radium treatment, she has been pronounced well and is again looking like her usual self. Mr. McCarty was surprised when he noted the difference in his wife's appearance after her return from Los Angeles. Miss Clark enjoyed the trip to Los Angeles and the ideal California climate. She received a long distance call while there and suffered a nervous collapse. She thought something awful had happened at home.

SETS NEW RECORD
(By The Associated Negro Press)
New York City, Nov. 11.—A new national A. A. U. ten mile champion was crowned last Sunday on the Glen Park oval at Yonkers. R. Earl Johnstone, dusky sprinter, flying the colors of the Edgar Thompson A. A. of Pittsburgh, with what seemed like unlimited power and speed, easily carried away the honors in the last lap, after allowing William Ritola, a New York unattached runner, to set the pace most of the way. Johnstone's time was 53:20 4:5.
