VOLUME XXXV. NO. 31 POLICE ARE NOT NOTIFIED—15 ARRESTS MADE BY SOLDIERS Furishing their threat of some weeks into that unless Richmond was cleaned up the Federal authorities would act upon their own initiative, a large number of soilers from Camp Lee, under the command of Troop Marshal E. L. DeCamp, swooped down upon Richmond in a three-hour night last night and made a turn of arrests under the very eyes of the Richmond police, who stood on the street corners aimed at what was happening. Theraid was made without the knowledge of the chief of Police or other local authorities. Captain DeCamp made it plain that the United States was a need of poisons or advice and that it would be required to the matter through. It is clear that the last attack was only the beginning, and the burden of Richmond must be shared with those on the ground at the United States' war in the near future. All hours committedively last arrest were made, but not all a large amount of evidence was collected and a large number of warrants were sworn out for the arrest of various boulevards. EXCUSEWORLD QUICK TO SPREAD THE MALAM. Captain De Camp destined to make public the number of men he used in the raid last night, fearing that it would hinder his work in the future. Vice conditions in Richmond have become loftable, and a large number of soldiers have become inequitable in service overcrowded of coloring weekend trips in Richmond, where they have been subjected to all the temptations of an organized and protected underworld. Although the work of the members of the provost guard at first proceeded in a quiet, orderly and determined manner, it did not take long before the large number of rastafabre were given warning, and groups could be seen collecting on street corners watching intently the progress of the various arrests. Policemen evidently forgot that they had a beat to patrol, for they stood at the corner near Murphy's Hotel with open mouths asking what was the meaning of the entire affair. When they learned that no information was forthcoming and that the aid of the police was not requested, nothing else was said. However they continued to gossip about the meaning of the raid and in a short time the streets were full of wild rumors about thousands of soldiers having "hit Richmond and painting the town red, arresting everybody in sight." ROAD RESORT RAIDED AND THE OCCUPANTS ARRESTED While on his way to Richmond last evening Captain DeCamp became suspicious of a house at stop 17, on the Petersburg Turpike. He stopped his automobile and ordered that the place be investigated. It was learned that it was a boarding house run and managed by Mrs. Frayser Smith wife of Dr. Frayser Smith, of Richmond. Mrs. Smith said that she was running a legitimate boarding house and that she had three couples staying with her at that time. The house was surrounded and raided. Three couples were found upstairs in adjoining rooms, scantily all of the inmates of the house were at once arrested. The names and addresses given were: Mrs. Vickery, living at the Virginia Apartments, Fifth and Main streets; Lillian Gay, living at 4420 West Clay street, and Gladys Donald, living at 1916 Grove avenue. The men in company with these women gave their names as Smith, Johnson and Austin, living at Rocky Mountain N.C. At the direction of United States Commissioner Fleischheimer these prisoners, together with Mrs. Smith, were taken before Maristrate Bowen of Chesterfield county, where warrants were sworn out against them. A charge was preferred against Mrs. Smith for conducting a house of Hume, and she was ordered to close up and move away within seven days and was fined $220. The other women were fined $5 and costs each and the men $10 and costs each, further the trivial of the case it developed that none of the couples was married and that they had not registered with Mrs. Smith prior to escaping lodging for the day. PINDS WOMEN DRESSED AS RED CROSS NURSES Later on it developed that the Smith "hotel" is well-known as a road resort. One of the officers who assisted in the first raid returned to the house and found four women, attired in Red Cross Uniforms, waiting for company. He allowed them to go home, but first obtained their names and addresses. Several points Henry Johnson and Neilham Robert two private recruits to this regiment have been guarded by a raid by the enemy was reported. Who of honor were found in the home. At midnight one of the members of the praetor guard went into Meryth's hotel and maked one of the bellboys to get some liquor for him. The boy obtained a pint of whiskey and was forthwith arrested. However, he led several soldiers a merry boy, and sent them out to observers from one door to another and from the basement to the top story before they could apprehend him. When it was learned that there were three or four of the bellboys who were engaged in the sale of whiskey to soldiers the hotel was surrounded. BELLROYS ARRESTED AT TWO HOTELS At this time a large number of people had flocked around the hotel, standing agast. As they attempted to enter the hotel they were blocked by guards standing at the doors with orders to allow no one in. The other bellboys escaped, but Robert Jones, colored, was arrested, and he made a clean breast of his connection with the matter. He confessed his guilt, and said that he was willing to implicate the others and tell where he obtained the whiskey. Captain DeCamp now has the addresses of a large number of houses in the city which will be kept under constant surveillance. Walter Coy Winston, colored, bell boy at the Richmond Hotel, was then arrested later, having sold several pints of whiskey to soldiers. Following is a list of alleged bootleggers arrested last night and now held in the Henrico county jail in default of $1,000 bond: Irvin Gibbs, iron worker, of 542 N. Twenty-fifth street; Frank Leonon, chauffeur, of 1924 Smart avenue; Charlie Dixon, chauffeur for the White Auto Service Company of 2104 Pleasants street; E. D.

L. DeCamp, sweoped down upon Richmond just before midnight last night and made a number of arrests under the very eyes of the Richmond police, who stood on the street corners amazed at what was happening. The raid was made without the knowledge of the Chief of Police or other local authorities, Captain De Camp made it plain that the United States Army needed no assistance or advice, and that he was ready to see the matter through.

UNDERWORLD QUICK TO SPREAD THE ALARM. Captain DeCamp declined to make public the number of men he used in the raid last night, fearing that it would hinder his work in the future. Vice conditions in Richmond have become intolerable, and a large number of soldiers have become incapacitated for service overseas of their laying week-end trips in Richmond, where they have been subjected to all the temptations of an organized and protected underworld. Although the work of the members of the provost guard at first proceeded smoothly and deeply and determined manner, it did not take place before the large number of rustabells given warning, and groups could be seen collecting on street corners watching intently the progress of the various arrests.

The men in company with these women gave their names and living at Rocky Mountain, N.C. At the direction of United States Commissioner Flegenheimer these prisoners, together with Mrs. Smith, were taken before Magistrate Rowen, of Chesterfield county, where warrants were sworn out against them.

The other women were fined $5 and costs each and the men $10 and costs each.

TAMPERED WITH THE EVIDENCE Sensational developments in this city have caused much comment. It was discovered that the evidence in type-written form which had been entrusted to the keeping of Clerk Walter Christian of the Hustings Court had not only been tampered with but had been mutilated. It was to be used as evidence in the case of the commonwealth against P. J. Lenahan charged with the violation of prohibition laws. Efforts are being made to find out just who was re-entrant to the outrage but the out look is not bright for the successful conclusion of the hunt. The official documents in the court have always been placed upon their honor and it has never been found necessary to put papers of this character under lock and key.

U. authorities in that State Texas singers are determined to win the banner at the musical contest on Sunday afternoon. Hereofore Georgia and Tenn., have exchanged honors with regard to the banner but the Texas people are determined to have it wave over Texas for the next twelve months. Oklahoma and Arkansas are vicing with each other as to the largest delegation. A splendid programme has been arranged and the Congress experts are ready to render excellent service.

It now develops that the Navy De partment sent ont broadcast warnings to shipping off the Atlantic coast near ly two weeks ago stating that it was repor'ed that U-bouts would — appear near the American coast. These warnings did not contain the intimation that these repons were eredited by the government. ‘They were sent ou! however because the Navy Department has for months heen following a practice of warning shipping whenever there appeared to be the ‘slightest foundation for the U- Doat alarm reports, ‘Phe last warn: ing it is added was based on informa tion which appeared to he more author itarive than the previous reports re eoived.

This means that the Virginia Collegiate and Industrial Institute will cause to exist. The institute has been holding its classes at the newly-required site of Morgan College, in the northern suburbs, since the buildings at Lynchburg, Va., burned down last Fall. Dean William Pickens was elected vice-president of the college by the trustees. It was announced, and will tour the country in its interest, Prof. L. M.

Dalimore, June 5.—The congregation of Bethel A. M. E. Church closed over $11,000 in a mock conference rally, according to reports submitted Monday night and early Tuesday morning. Early Tuesday morning when it was announced that over $8,000 had been secured, Pastor W. Sampson Brooks arose and said a white friend had given the church $2,000 also. Amid the enthusiasm that prevailed following the announcement, nearly $1,000 more was secured by the workers. Dr. Brooks has had a phenomenal success as a money-raiser in various pastorates, especially in the West. During the fifteen months he has been pastor of Bethel Church the congregation has raised about $45,000,00 for all purposes. The success --- THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA of the rally is regarded as a remarkable achievement for Dr. Brooks. Columbus, Ohio.—The plans that the Methodist Episcopal Church have for raising $80,000,000 for the extension of its missionary and social uplift activities will be discussed at a meeting here of bishops and district superintendents on June 18, 19 and 20. The program calls for the raising of at least $1,000,000 among the colored constituency of the church. The game will be used in establishing social uplift activities in urban and rural churches. The work of stimulating the cooled people is being done by the Rev. W. A. C. Hughes, of Washington, one of the field observers of the Board of Home Missions and Church Extension of the denomination.

ONE YEAR ..... $1.50 SIX MONTHS ..... .80 THREE MONTHS ..... .40 FOREIGN SUBSCRIPTIONS ..... $2.00 A RANTING WESTERN REPUBLIC CANISM. We publish elsewhere in these columns an editorial from the Marshall-town, Iowa Times-Republican. It is in striking contrast to the tone of Democratic journals published now in the Southland and shows that racial antipathy to the black man in that section of the country is more intense than that ever present in the far South. The writer attempts to blame ten million defenseless people for the short-comings or the alleged short-comings of five colored men. Why he should drag into the discussion the tens of thousands of colored men, who are winning renown upon the field of battle in France is a mystery. Colored people have always condemned the rapist, be he black or white, and they have no sympathy for any member of the race who would so far forget himself as to attack a woman. One thing we know is that the colored people now in this country did not come from the jungles of Africa and if they had come from there, they would not be chargeable with this heinous crime for it is testified by white and colored missionaries, that the black people of Africa in the jungles are virtuous and that they are not guilty of rape. The sins of omission and commission of which colored folks have been guilty were learned in this country. We pause to remark that this new day Republicanism is worst than the old time Democracy. So far as we can see and understand colored people are making progress. They are supporting the government and even now are in France, fighting to make the life and property of this outlandish fanatic in Iowa, safe from destruction and pillage. THE BLACK MAN'S BRAVERY. --- Despite the misrepresentations to which the colored people of this country have been subjected, they are winning a place in this "world's war." The short, crisp, straight-forward declarations tell their own story. Here they are: With the French Army in France, June 11 (By the Associated Press; noon'—The strongest effort made by the Germans in the course of last night and this morning in their new offensive was in the direction of the railroad connecting Estees-St. Denis and Montdidier. The Germans met with such resistance that they renounced for the moment their attempts in this region. Negro troops, supported by entente allied tanks, which did great execution, delivered a brilliant counter attack in this vicinity and recaptured the forest running southwest of Marqueglise, between Porte farm and Loges farm. Colored men are fighting and dying on the battlefields of France in an effort to secure rights for white men that they themselves have not enjoyed. They are doing this too in the face of misrepresentations and slanders at home. They are doing this although numbers of them have been put in the pontentiaries of this country and executed in a disgraceful manner from the gallows. But God will bring all things right in His own time. This show of patriotism on their part will raise up more white friends in their behalf. A President of these United States will be impelled by their heroism and sacrifice to speak a word in their favor and in securing for them when they come marching home all of the rights and privileges vouched any other citizen. Let us take courage. Let us fight on for this country for our country, for this flag, for our flag. Colored folks, teach your children patriotism. Whether the country goes up or down, or meets success or failure, let us be loyal citizens. ROANOKE NEWS --- The Roanoke City Public Schools held the commencement exercises of the Harrison Intermediate School at the City Auditorium, Friday, June 7 at 8:15 P. M. The address was delivered by Prof. T. B. Williams, of Hampton Institute, who was introduced by Rev. L. L. Downing. The Certificates were presented with appropriate remarks by Superintendent D. E.

The following are the graduates: Pearl Marie Brown, Georgia Hazel Bennett, Alberta Clarke, Sadie Craigett, Estelle Edith Eggleton, Knobla Elizabeth Henderson, Gadys Madeine Lee, Helen Alice Mars, Ruby Samples, Pearl Scales, Mary Esther White, Walter Elliott, Arnold Jetone Saunders. The closing exercises of the Kindergarten School, taught by Mrs. N. K. Tayer, for the last five years in the V. M. C. A. room of the A. M. U. Church last Monday night, was a very grand affair. The little children certainly made one of the great demonstrations ever witnessed in the city of Tacoma, acknowledged so by all who were present. Able attorneys admitted they were the best ever held among little ones. Those who have been under the care of Mrs. Taylor are ready to enter any public school class that they may be a assigned and none need feel ashamed! Wayman Holland, of the Navy, was in the city Sunday, June 2, visiting parents and attended church. He left Sunday night for his post in New York. Mrs. Holland was delighted to see her son home. Mrs. L. A. Bartoe, of 226 Fifth avenue, N. W., who has been much indisposed is very much improved at this writing. Mr. N. A. Claibourne, of Martinsville, Va. is in the city. He is the son of Mr. C.

The mother and baby are getting along fine. Mrs. E. G. Hampton, of Lynchburg avenue, who had been in failing health for a long white died at her home Friday night, June 7 and was buried Sunday evening at two o'clock. The funeral services were held at the home. Rev. Charles Mc Calister officiated. A large gathering was in attendance. Interment in the Midway Cemetery. The children's day exercises took place Sunday and Sunday night at eight o'clock, which proved to be quite an interesting feature. The program was gotten up by Mrs. Fannie E. Dickerson, who deserves great credit for her energetic work. All who attended were well paid for their presence. Rev. George C. Taylor, D. D. delivered a very strong discourse Sunday morning from James 1:27. "Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this. To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction and to keep himself unspotted from the world." Brother William Holland, who underwent an operation, returned home Saturday evening very much heaped by his treatment at Freedman's Hospital at Washington, D. C. Some unprincipled thief lifted a pig from the pen of Mr. Charley Holland a few days ago. It is sad to think that people of this country will rob a hardworking man of labor in the still hours of night. Mr. Holland says whoever took the pig will pay the price of a greater loss than he has sustained in the loss of a pig aeros Tinker Creek.

R. C. Williams, pastor. With souls unkilled with Nation at patriotism and racial love and devotion we are going over the conventional top as the Negro Soldiers will so bravely die in France this year. It has been nineteen years since the convention not in the Capitol city, then the convention was in its infancy, small in size, being large in heart, noble in purpose; resolve in principle. We go now in fullness of our strength—maturity by years of experience. We want and expect a large delegation and instead of the war being an excuse it is a reason why we will need the largest delegation and the biggest rally in order to meet the heavy expense the war has placed upon education as upon everything else. The convention needs $2,000.00 and I am urging every circle to send large contributions to meet this need. Every loyal circle and every wom is asked not for her bit but for her best.

DRIVE Coins Hoarded For Sentimental And Silly Reasons Should Be Put In Circulation To Help Uncle Sam. While feverish efforts are being made to push Virginia to the forefront in point of the money invested in Thrift Stamps and War Savings Stamps there are countless thousands of people hoarding money when it should be put into immediate circulation. With a vast number of articles which formerly retailed for a nickel now selling for 6 or 7 cents, people are finding it necessary to use more pennies, and in some parts of the country penny famines prevail. No such condition would arise if people would divert into channels of trade the pennies which have been taken out of circulation for sentimental or silly reasons. How many baby banks in Virginia homes are keeping in confinement hundreds of thousands of pennies—pounds of them—barrels of them—which ought to be circulating through the financial arteries of this country? One hundred thousand banks each containing 100 pennies could turn loose $100,000 which the people could spend for War Savings Stamps in the utmost security. By so doing they would be giving their children something just as safe and valuable as copper pennies and at the same time would be assisting the Government in financing the war. Countless citizens are carrying pocket-pieces of gold, silver or copper which ought to be circulated. Cracked cups on pantry shelves are sheltering slacker pennies which deserve to be in circulation. Sentimental coin collectors are treasuring countless pennies dating back to the sixties in the hope of selling them to coin collectors for big sums some day. All these idle pieces of coin ought to be brought out from their hiding places and placed in circulation. Speak them for Thrift Stamps. Round up the slacker pennies as well as the dimes and dollars. Unlock the little savings banks at home and pour their red metal corpuscles back into Uncle Sam's circulation to give him back his financial strength each time he is bled to the prosecution of this greatest of all wars. Make the pennies fight. Bring them all to light. A penny in circulation will help to win the war, but a penny in a little bank on the sideboard is of no more use to the Government than the little toy soldier on the mannel. Don't forget June 28th—it's the day that you sign your pledge to contribute a certain amount in Thrift and War Savings Stamps before December 31. Your pennies will help then—and thereafter. —W. S. S.— Write the Virginia War Savings Committee, Postoffice Building, Richmond, Va., for copy of the War Savings booklet. ---W.S.S--- One 25-cent piece will not go far toward financing the war, but think what a sum it would be if 100,000,000 would each invest 25 cents in a Thrift Stamp today and each day until the end of the war. —W. S. S. War Savings Stamps Will Soon Supply Willing Splendid Soldiers With Shoes Socks —W. S. S. Cardinal Gibbons' Appeal. Cardinal Gibbons is one of the enthusiastic supporters of Thrift Stamps and War Savings Stamps. He has issued the following appeal: "The door of opportunity to serve our country is flung wide open for practically every man, woman and child by the sale of War Savings Stamps. This is the most impressive thing about the movement which is being undertaken by the National War Savings Committee. "There can be few people whose circumstances will not permit them to buy at intervals the 25-cent Thrift Stamp, and with each purchase gain step by step possession of the War Savings Stamp, for each one of which the credit and resources of the United States are pledged to return $5 for what now cost $4.16. "Such a return being produced by the process of compound interest carries the lesson of Thrift in a practical and convincing way. I earnestly commend to young and old, and more particularly to parents, this simple and easy method of acquiring the habit of thrift. "Many sorrows are avoided and much happiness is to be gained by the timely application of the principles of thrift. To the building of character it brings profitable acquaintance with self-denial and self-reliance. It is a valuable aid to good citizenship and a blessing that once properly grounded is a faithful companion through life. "We have reached a time in our national life when no loyal citizen of this country can afford to spend a dollar for wasteful luxuries." THE Y. M. C. A.

RADFORD CULLINGS East Radford, Va., June 4.—In making our debut as writer of the Radford Cullings, we first do our nut to the great, fearless, able editor of The Planet. Hon. John Mitchell, Jr., the uniting, alert champion of human rights, the uncompromising defender of Negro manhood and womanhood in the journalistic field—"The noblest Roman of them all." Next, we want to introduce Radford, a beautiful little city of some 7,000 inhabitants, about 2,000 of whom are Negroes, nestled high up among the craggy mountains of S. V. Virginia, bound on the North by the beautiful New River, situated on the old main line of the N. and W. railway, forty-five miles West of Donkue, to The Planet family. The city is divided into Radford, East Radford and South Radford. The colored citizens of each of these parts of the city deserve much credit from every viewpoint, and, we shall give some facts and figures in our next, beginning with East Radford. The remains of Mrs. Douglass charlton were brought here from Coonoke some two weeks ago and interred in the family burial ground across the river. Quite an appreciative crowd joined the bereaved family at the station, rendering both help and sympathy. John D.

Mr. Alex Johnson, the M, N, G, and Mrs. Alice Kirtley, R, N, G., both acquitted themselves proudly, taking care of the situation with ease and dignity, white Medames Dorssey E. Miller and Cora Robinson swept the great congregation with their solo and duet, "The Pearly White City." Rev. G. I. Petfits, Glade Springs, preached the annual sermon. It was deep, scholarly, helpful. The finance was a success. The Household is a favorite lodge here, being composed of a large number of Radford's best women. Quite an elaborate, classy literary and musical program was rendered "on the hill" last Wednesday night, May 29, under the auspices of Madam Lottie Boyd Hance, the teacher, following the close of the public school, which took place April 3. The Rev. Percetti, "the man from Palestine," lectured to a fair sized audience at First Baptist Church last Wednesday night, Mrs. Avery Clark and daughter, Helen, were in the city Friday shaking hands with friends. The remains of Mrs. Estella Phillips Pounds were brought here from West Virginia, accompanied by her life-long friend, Mrs. Alice Thomas, and buried in Pine Hill Cemetery, South Radford. Funeral from the BANKING The natural tendency of a human being is to spend, to get the most pleasure out of life, regardless of the expense and to pay little or no attention to the rigors of life, the evening of want and old age. But this natural tendency can be overcome in childhood by persistent teaching on the part of the parent. But how can a parent teach to a child that the parent does not practice? Ah, there's the rub. Young people, as a rule search for pleasure. Some of them cannot help it for it is in the blood, so to speak. But there are some others who can help it. Some who can and will listen to reason. It is to this class that we make an appeal. The best way to have pleasure in life is to begin saving early in life and let the in come from what you have saved be the gauge of the amount that you should spend for pleasure. Save up one hundred dollars and then you can save up one thousand dollars and then you may be able to multiply this amount by ten and enjoy in pleasure the interest, not the principal. A good saving bank is the place to begin saving. Call and enter the doors of one today. JOHN MITCHELL, Jr., President, Mechanics Savings Bank. --- THE RIGHMOND PLANET, RIGHMOND, VIRGINIA First Baptist Church, Rev. J. K. Smith officiating.
