THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia State Library. VOLUME XXXVI, NUMBER 28 RICHMOND VIRGINIA SATURDAY MAY 24, 1919 NUMBER CASEA LYNGH ING IN WASHINGTON THE VIEW OF A WHITE WOMAN. Four years ago a man named Herriam B. Moes came to Washington. He presents 4 officers of recommendation which were a request at their time value for the present on the board of education and by others in authority. These officers placed "bri" Moes as a gentleman and scientist or such standing that he was permitted to go into the schools of Washington, both white and colored to make scientific examination of the pupils. He was attainted not only into the schools without question but he was received in many of the most captured homes, both white and colored. Last October this man was indicted for having obscene pictures in his possession. The recent trial has proved that the possession of obscene pictures was the least of his offences. The hideoutness of his crime could scourge his credited except that Moes himself has confirmed his pride the testimony of these abused women. He was tried, found guilty sentenced to one year's imprisonment with a fine of $500. And this might be the end of the story as far as decent people are concerned were it not that Moore did not restrict his acquaintance to the women of the process. He posed as scientist and philanthropist in general lover of the colored people and in his own manner as camouflage for his foul deeds he made the austimance and through scavengously purposed conduct secured the friendship of one of the finest and most cultured women of the colored race. This we may I have known for five years, I have known her intimately as a friend for nearly forty years. During the past six months in when her name has been so tragically linked with his cause of her assistance in what she supposed policy associate work I have known her names. Thoughts. Upon me the personal duty has November of opening her eyes to the character of this man. From that day she severed no connection with him. It is because of how in intimate knowledge of these facts because of my knowledge of the very soul of this woman that I would never again in the sight of God say that I love justice at today I get my peace Warn full knowledge of the relationship or this than loosens and Cintao te K. Hunter from her beginning to the end of that relationship I affirm in this place and in all places where my words may be reed or heard now and forever end or if it were possible that there was nothing wrong in that relationship, that prior to my revelations to her Charlotte Hunter had not he slightest suspicion of the hidden life and real character of this man. And thus even he has had the decease to establish. In the pressence of a lawyer in my hearing he declared that he considered that his private life was no concern of hers. One fact in this connection onl to be given wide publicity. One member of the board of education of this city of Washington is also a member of the Department of Justice. In his hands the Moens case was placed some four years ago. Moens was indicted on the twenty-third of last October every time in the case being known at that time to this member of the board of education. And yet Charlie to Hunter held her position as teacher of history in the Dumber High School for more than five months after Mouss' indemnity. At no time was she asked to resign but finally on the eleventh of April due to the expected condition of the colored people which she believed had impaired her usefulness in the schools she handled in her resignation. And here again my account might end it not for the degrading and heartender alternation. If I were not at he present time a citizen of Washington who with my own eyes and with my own cars have seen and heard what is going on in this city today I would not believe it to me without race production. One of my first playmates, my daily companion on my walks to and from school was a dark-skinned kinky headed little girl. I dimly remember "kindly" dressed neighbors who dropped in to enlighten my mother. I clearly see my physician mother put on her bounce across the lot to make a social call upon the child's mother. Evidently she came away satisfied for my companionship with this little dark-skinned friend was un disturbed. I was born without race prejudice. I was brought up without race prejudice. I have lived for nearly four years in Washington, southern in its sentiment without race prejudice. But, God forgive me during these past few weeks I have come peripherally near knowing the meaning of those words. And why? What if it I have seen that has come so near to capturing the traditions of a life time? I have attended two mass meetings of the Famous League recently organized in Washington with the armed and ostensible purpose of tridging the sciences of all the nations teachers. Large skirts of money, hundreds of dollars have been collected to pay lawyer's fees and to three detectives for the work. These meetings have been held in the church of God, opened with prayer and the reading of scripture and here, under the very eyes of God I have seen a lynching take place. Men and women of the colored race, I feel you was a innocent count, the victim was no nate skinned man torn to pieces by the hands of a white mobe but a white-sounded, dark-skinned woman torn to pieces by the tongues of her own race. And when unable to endure it I went upon the plaf form facing those thousands of dark faces and handed to the chairman a minister's wife, my calling card together with my husband's (Washington correspondent for the New York Nation) and begged to be allowed to speak five minutes from that platform, my request was fully refused. And in that great audience others rose to speak in her defense but they were not allowed. One man had a definite communication from the board of education stating that only one teacher in the schools of Washington had had any connection with the Moose's case, and she had been called in only at a witness. These gales after righteousness would not permit this communication to be read. "Hindooiness?" Certainly, not less appply deedless that while they might be the fair they intended that cut aside of the question should be heard in the alms they hire a hall." One were told and more live and no one was permitted to rise in his place to thy thou. An old man drub that obscurities and the clairmant did not stopURN. An editor of one of the colored papers, at each weekly meeting made the same promises what he could and would publish, telling the imminent of the more important and sensation loving of his ambition but up to the present hour his promises remain unfulfilled. But the meetings continue; the money points in; and all for what? To get rid of teachers that are not there! To so twist this calinity which has fallen upon the coloured community of Washington, through he perfidy of she white man as to make it the occasion for a political campaign against the assistant superintendent of schools. To so blacken the character of a blameless woman the innocent violation of a perjurious wretch; that coockee; inaught; the country shall she be able to earn her bread if their avowed purposes are successful! They will not let Charlotte Hunter walks the streets of Washington her head untwisted for the knives her own innocence. And furthermore she knows here is no man or woman white or black who has ever known her who credits for one moment one sorbita of the lies that have been told.

Suspect in Order Recognized—The Attempt to Oust Virginia Pythi- ians Fails. "Washington, May 16—The United States Circuit Court of Appeals handed down a decision in the case of the Grand Lodge, K, of P. of Virginia (insisted the Supreme Lodge, K, of P. possibly, never put the action taken by the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia and Lobbing that the Supreme Chancellor, S. W. Green of Georghain, lawfully suspended the Vice Grand Lodge of which John Mitchell Jr. is Grand Chancellor. "The case has been in the courts for four years and was the result of Virginia's Grand Lodge and John Mitchell refusing to pay its taxes and was thereby suspended. Supreme Chancellor Green's suspension of the Grand Lodge of Virginia was upon the advice of Sumner, Attorney S. A. T. Watkins together with the approval of the Supreme Lodge seems to be approved. This seems to be the end of a long and expensive litigation, and the settlement of the questions go long disputed." —Chicago Defender. Editor, Chicago Defender: The Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia has handed down a decision in the Virginia Court Knights of Pythias, declaring the action of the Supreme Lodge Knights of Pythias, N. A. S. A. E., A. A. & A., in revoking the charter of the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of Virginia in its biennial session at Baltimore, Maryland, in 1913 and its further effort to do the same thing at its biennial session at Columbia. Ohio, in 1915 were null and void and that the Grand Lodge of Virginia Knights of Pythias is in lawful possession of the charter and is accordingly in all of that Order. It further decided that the suspension of the Grand Lodge K. of P. of Virginia by the Supreme Chancellor was justified on account of the issuance of the "Shocking Conditions"circumstantial, issued and distributed by the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of Virginia. It did not pass upon the cause for the issuance of the charter and it did not pass upon the security of the tax levy or the legality of th$, adoption of the new Constitution of the Supreme Lodge. "The effect of the decision is to place the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of Virginia exactly where it was prior to the session of the Supreme Lodge at Baltimore. The object and purpose of the Supreme Lodge, officials have been to revolve the charter of the affordsal Grand Lodge in order to permit the present Supreme Chancellor to come into the State and set up another Grand Lodge with set up friends to the present treasury. This decision prevents him from doing this. The Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of Virginia is operating under two chanters. A federal charter issued by the Supreme Lodge and a corporation charter issued by the State of Virginia. The Grand Lodge can operate under either the ong Dougon Robert Howlett is still at Eumont, Va., improving slowly. Mrs. Sarah A. Reid of Orange, Va., was in the city this week. Rev. A. A.

Her daughters, Mrs. Louisa Bailley of Atlantic City and Mrs. Mary Smallwood, of California, have been with her several weeks. Mrs. Stokes is now better and hopes to be out in a few days. The members of the St. John Watchmen are thanked also for their uniting attention to Mrs. Stokes, who is one of the founders of that great order. Dr. W. T. Watkins of New York delivered a strong and strongly ad- dvised speech to the subject "Will the Republic Hold Their Own in the Middle of Ministry Distrust and the Reconstruction?" and the Rev. J. B. Pharr brought a timing message from Connecticut, using the subtitle "Director of the Young Ministry" All mothers are urged to present at this meeting THE VIRGINIA BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION OVER THE TOP The fifty second annual session of the Virginia Baptist State Convention convened with the First Baptist Church, Harrison Street, Petersburg, Va. the Rev. S. T. Eldridge, D. D. Pastor, closed Sunday with a short trumph and throughout the entire session the convention covered itself with great glory. A large and enthusiastic delegation assembled on the first day and the machine was set for work and session after session its business was transacted and program executed in the most pleasing and erodible manner. It took about one minute to elect officers. All of the old officers were reelected except the Recording Society, who had tendered his resignation, and the Rev. W. H. R. Powell, A. B. of Alexandria was elected as Recorder. Dr. Walter H. Brooks in a most impressive address inducted the officials into their various offices. THE SERMONS The preachers were all well prepared and delivered their measures with great emphasis and effect. The convention sermon was preached by Dr. W. W. Brown, of New York, subject, "Our Learner Vision and Present Day Standards." It is enough to say Dr. Brown lived up to all his reputation promised me. The Rev. W. E. Lee of Roanoke preached the educational sermon, using a his subject, "Knowledge That Brings Freedom." "The sermon promised much for the future of such a youthful preacher, High Street Church has a strong preacher now, but in his ripier years we predict great things for him. The missionary sermon was preached by the Rev. W. H. H. P. Powell, A. R. of Alexandria. Trained in the Virginia Seminary and Lincoln University, the Rev. Mr. Powell is another character of great promise. His sermon was well prepared and effectively delivered. Sunday morning the President preached, afternoon the Rev. M. L. Gordon of Stapleton and Dr. S. W. Timms at night. The Gospel program was strong and helpful. ADDRESSS Dr. W. T. Wittling of New Jersey delivered a strong and mysterious address from the subject, "Will the Republic Hold Their Own, in the Midst of Ministers Distress and the Reconstitution?" and the Rev. J. H. Pharr brought a rousing message from Connecticut, using the gaggle: "Dearer of the Young Ministry Director into the Field of Excessive Speculation and the Remedy." It was the common comment that President Woods in his educational address exceeded himself. To fail to compliment the orator was a reflection on any auditor, was a sentiment expressed by many visitors. After the address, a diplomatic member of the Harrison Street Church said he was so impressed as he sat reheating upon what the orator had said, he pleaded himself to become an annual donor as long as he lived and after his activities were ceased.

DICE FIVE CENTS LIEUT HUNDLEY SPEAKS HERE Twelve Thousand Dollars Subscribed The Victory Loan rally at the Election Baptist Church Thursday night, May 5th was a success. Mr. John T. Taylor presided, while Rev. Dr. M. E. Davis was master of cene bens. Mr. M. Alphonzo Norrell was secretary. The most interesting feature was the address of Leutenant George J. Handley who was introced by Editor John Mitchell, Jr., Leutenant Hundley spoke for nearly an hour. He gave a most interesting account of conditions in the Champagne district on the French front. He was in charge of one of the companies of the famous Fifteenth New York Regiment and his description of the valor of the colored troops elitated unbounded appliance. He was the only white Virginian connected with the regiment and his account of the great struggle was realistic and in creeping. Never from a rostrum has a white citizen paid such a glowing tribute to the colored soldier, whose initiative in action, bravery he forete the enemy under the most dangerous and trying conditions had not been excelled by any fighters in the world. The speaker made a profound impression and at the conclusion of his remarks, he was given a rousing vote of thanks and when he passed out all arrows, singing "God Be With You "Till We Meet Again" and riving him the Chanton qua salute. "Two thousands and dollars was subscribed in a short while. Lieutenant Hundley is the son of Judge Hundley of Farmville. Va He was wounded in action and as he shook carried his hand in a saling.

MITTELDORFER'S 217 E. BROAD FOR FLAGS! E COLORED OFFICERS AND THE REGULAR ARMY. Chief of Staff Revokes Finding of Army Board Which Declares Colored Men Disqualified for Officers and Leaders of Men. Record in All Wars Show Raco Not Deficient in Moral Fiber. Letters have been forwarded to the War Department by Bishop Charles Spencer Smith as chairman of the Commission on After-war Problems, of $ \textcircled{th} $ A. M. E. Church; W. T. Andrews, Editor of the Daily Herald, Baltimore, Md. and others of like prominence in public affairs, calling attention to an endorsement which had been placed on the application filed by a colored officer who had been overseas, relative $ \textcircled{th} $ to his fitness for admission into the Regular Army. The endorsement, or recommendation, signed by a board of officers, appointed to investigate the qualification of candidates for assignments in the reorganized United States Army, after summing up all citations and observations, was as follows: "The board recommends that he be not examined. Reason: Unqualified by reason of the qualities inherent in the Negro race; an opinion of the board, based on the testimony of five white officers serving with the 368th Infantry. Negroes are deficient in moral fiber, rendering them unfit as officers and leaders of men." WAR RECORD OF NEGROES REFUTES ABSURD FINDING OF ARMY BOARD. The writers of the communications to the War Department, in addition to condemning the injustice to the officer involved, made it quite plain that the colored people of the country most stronelyly the reflection upon the race as a whole in the bald decoration that "Negroes are deficient in moral fiber, etc." and regard it as an unsustained indictment of the entire race as a group of incompete tents and failures. They declared the charge to be absolutely discredited by the written record of the brilliant achievements of colored officers under fire in the fiercest offensives of the war, and by the published testimony of General Pershing, of Colonel Hayward, and of a score of French officers of highest military standing, all of whom had the advantage of knowing exactly how the colored commander bore themselves at crucial periods on the field of battle. $ \mathrm{Th}_{0} $ objectionable memorandum is refuted, the writers assert, by the unbroken chain of valorous deeds and heroism of Negroes in all the wars of the Republic from Bunker Hill to Carrizal and in France from Verdun to the siege of Metz. NO EXCLUSION OF ANY OFFICER ON ACCOUNT OF COLOR. Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Special Assistant to the Secretary of War, taking up the matter directly with the War Department, made this reply, upon the authority of the officials having charge of the question at issue in a letter addressed to Editor Andrews, of the Baltimore Herald: "With reference to the marked copy of The Daily Herald, containing an editorial, quoting an endorsement placed upon the discharge of a colored Lieutenant who applied for retention in the service, I beg to say that this whole matter has been before the War Department, and I am pleased to inform you that the Chief of Staff has personally directed the Commanding General at Camp Meade to revoke the finding: he has also directed that in the matter of colored officers being commissioned in the Army, there is to be no exclusion on account of color. "I am sure you will be pleased that this action has been taken by the War Department, and I personally share with you and the entire race the satisfaction of feeling that the finding quoted by you, and which was placed upon the record of the colored officer, will not appear on his permanent record as filed in the War Department." The answer of Dr. Scott to the editor of the Baltimore Herald will serve as a reply to the many inquirers who have shown an anxiety to know the status of colored officers who desire to be retained for service in the Regular Army.

Deputy Smith, taking Waters to Macon in an automobilo, said he reached a bridge over the Ohoopeo River, in Johnson County, today and found his progress barred by an automobilo across the road. No one was in sight, he said, but as he stopped, about 150 men leaped from behind the bushes along the road and pointed guns at him. The prisoner was taken from the deputy's machine and the deputy was ordered to drive on. Waters' body was found later riddled with bullets. The mob had not hanged him, but had tied him to a tree with ropes and shot his body almost to pieces, some of the ropes even being cut by bullets. A coroner's inquest hold late today decided that Waters came to his death at the hands of unknown persons. FINESEE CHARGED WITH THE MURDER OF RICHARD JONSONS Will Plead the Unwritten Law in the Fight for His Life. Charges of murder were placed yesterday morning against Thomas Finesee, 1006 Hickory Street, following the death early yesterday of Richard Johnson, who the police charge, was shot through the stomach by Finesee. The shooting occurred early Thursday morning. He made no effort to escape at the time and was arrested then charged with feloniously shooting Johnson. Finesee, according to the police, has been employed in a restaurant at Seventeenth and Franklin Streets for nearly twenty years and bears a good reputation. His defence at that time was the unwritten law.—Times Dispatch, May 19. 1 Copyrighted 1919 Snapshot of richest man in America leaving his residence. 1914 Copyrighted 1919 New York Officer Wins French Cross.

Chief of Staff Revokes Finding of Army Board Which Declares Colored Men Disqualified /or Officers and Leaders of Men Record in All Wars Show Race I Not Deficient in Moral Fiber. Letters have been forwarded to the War Department by Bishop Charles Spencer Smith as chairman of the Commission on After-war Problems, of $ \mathrm{th}_{0} $ A. M. E. Church; W. T. Andrews, Editor of the Daily Herald, Baltimore, Md. and others of like prominence in public affairs, calling attention to an endorsement which had been placed on the application filed by a colored officer who had been overseas, relative to his fitness for admission into the Regular Army. The endorsement, or recommendation, signed by a board of officers, appointed to investigate the qualification of candidates for assignments in the reorganized United States Army, after summing up all citations and observations, was as follows: "The board recommends that he be not examined. Reason: Unqualified by reason of the qualities inherent in the Negro race; an opinion of the board, based on the testimony of five white officers serving with the 368th Infantry. Negroes are deficient in moral fiber, rendering them unit as officers and leaders of men." WAR RECORD OF NEGROES REFUTES ABSURD FINDING OF ARMY BOARD. The writers of the communications to the War Department, in addition to condemning the injustice to the officer involved, made it quite plain that the colored people of the country resent most strenuously the reflection upon the race as a whole in the bald decoration that "Negroes are deficient in moral fiber, etc." and regard it as an unsustained indictment of the entire race as a group of incompetents and failures. They declared the charge to no absolutely discredited by the written record of the brilliant achievements of colored officers under fire in the fiercest offenses of the war, and by the published testimony of General Porshing, of Colonel Hayward, and of a score of French officers of highest military standing, all of whom had the advantage of knowing exactly how the colored commander; hore themselves at crucial periods on the field of battle. The objectionable memorandum is refuted, the writers assert, by the unbroken chain of valorous deeds and heroism of Negroes in all the wars of the Republic from Bunker Hill to Carrizal and in France from Verdun to the siege of Metz. NO EXCLUSION OF ANY OFFICER ON ACCOUNT OF COLOR Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Special Assistant to the Secretary of War, taking up the matter directly with the War Department, made this reply, upon the authority of the officials having charge of the question at issue in a letter addressed to Editor Andrews, of the Baltimore Herald: "With reference to the marked copy of The Daily Herald, containing an editorial, quoting an endorsement placed upon the discharge of a colored Lieutenant who applied for retention in the service, I beg to say that this whole matter has been before the War Department, and I am pleased to inform you that the Chief of Staff has personally directed the Commanding General at Camp Meade to revoke the finding: he has also directed that in the matter of colored officers being commissioned in the Army, there is to be no exclusion on account of color. "I am sure you will be pleased that this action has been taken by the War Department, and I personally share with you and the entire race the satisfaction of feeling that the finding quoted by you, and which was placed upon the record of the colored officer, will not appear on his permanent record as filed in the War Department." The answer of Dr. Scott to the editor of the Baltimore Herald will serve as a reply to the many inquirers who have shown an anxiety to know the status of colored officers who desire to be retained for service in the Regular Army. COLORED MAN IS SHOT TO DEATH BY ANGRY GEORGIAN MOB. James Waters. Accused of Attacking Farmer Girl, Tied to Tree and Killed. Dublin, Ga., May 15.—James Waters, accused of attacking a white girl in Johnson County, two weeks ago, was lynched in that county today.

Officers said he confessed the crime. Deputy Smith, taking Waters to Macon in an automobile, said he reached a bridge over the Ohoopee River, in Johnson County, today and found his progress barred by an automobile across the road. No one was in sight, he said, but as he stopped, about 150 men leaped from behind the bushes along the road and pointed guns at him. The prisoner was taken from the deputy's machino and the deputy was ordered to drive on. Waters' body was found later riddled with bullets. The mob had not hanged him, but had tied him to a tree with ropes and shot his body almost to pieces, some of the ropes even being cut by bullets. A coroner's inquest held late today decided that Waters came to his death at the hands of unknown persons. FINESEE CHARGED WTTT THE MURDER OF RICHARD JOANSON Will Plead the Unwritten Law in the Fight for His Life. Charges of murder were placed yesterday morning against Thomas Finesee, 1006 Hickory Street, following the death early yester... of Richard Johnson, who the police charge, was shot through the stomach by Finesee. The shooting occurred early Thursday morning. He made no effort to escape at the time and was arrested then charged with feloniously shooting Johnson. Finesee, according to the police, has been employed in a restaurant at Seventeenth and Franklin Streets for nearly twenty years and bears a good reputation.

SATURDAY THE FIREWORKS ROANOKE NEWS ROANOKE NEWS ROANOKE, VA., May 19. — The funeral services of Mrs. Ollie Lee Wright, of Goodview, Va., who died Thursday, May 15, at 7 o'clock after a long lingering illness took place last Friday. She left a beautiful dying testimony of her hope of the future reward of her heavenly home. She leaves to mourn their loss, two sisters, one brother in Roanoko, Mrs. Laura J. Hurt, Mrs. Lizzie Thompson and Mr. David Barlow, and a numerous host of nieces and nephews and a host of friends. The stork visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Wise, Wednesday, May 14 and left a bouncing baby girl. Mother and baby are getting along nicely at their home, 210 Sixth Avenue, N. E. The funeral services of Mrs. Clara Chainey Tanner, of 225 Eighth Avenue, N. E., who died Thursday, May 15, were held Sunday, May 18, from the Church of which she had been a faithful member for many years. She was one of the mothers of the Church and community and always had a word at all times for all whom she came in touch with. Truly she was a mother in Roanoke. She was also a member of Blooming Rose Court. The High Street Church loses a noble member that will be missed. The Courts were in attendance and a number of Pythians and members of the Uniform Rank were out. As Sir Sonny Tanner was a member of our rank we felt it our duty to be with our friend and brother. The floral designs were very beautiful and profuse. Rev. J. M. Bannister delivered the funeral eulogy from St. Luke, 8:52, "And all weep and be wailed her, but He said, Weep not, she is not dead but sleepeth." And indeed all could feel with assurance that Sister Tanner was only asleep in the arms of Jesus, because she had lived for Him that liveth and reigneth forevermore. Mr. C., C. Williams and his associate, Mr. J. B. Brown had the funeral in charge. Everything was carried out in the most befitting manner by this very polite funeral director with an entire automobile service. Mrs. Tanner had all the care necessary to her comfort by her loving son and daughter-in-law, Sir Sonny Tanner and Mrs. Mary Tanner, who spared no pain to comfort and cheer their mother during her lifetime with them. We wish to thank our many friends for their many acts of kindness extended us during the illness and death of our mother, Mrs. Clara Chalney Tanner, who died May 15, 1919. We wish to thank the friends who gave us the beautiful floral designs. A true Christian has gone from us to Heaven, a real devoted mother from the community. She was mother to all who knew her, in advice and instruction. Thanks again, from the family. Mr. and Mrs. Sonny Tanner. The remains were solemnly and quietly held to rest in Midway Cemetery Sunday evening, May 18, by Blooming Rose Court. The funeral of Mr. James Watkins of 116 Third Avenue, N. W., took place from the High Street Baptist Church, Monday, May 12. Mr. Watkins died at his home after a short illness. He was one of Ronche's estimable characters, loved and highly respected by his own race as well as by the white people of Ronche, which was proven by their devotion to him during his illness and in the hours of mourning of the family. His employer followed him to the end. The wife has lost a loving husband, the Church a noble member the community a quiet and good citizen. He has left to mourn their loss, a wife, Mrs. Alice Watkins, one brother, Mr. Price Watkins, of Ronoke and a host of friends in whose memory will be worth while recalling that Christ-life exemplified by Brot er James Watkins. The oak casket was very beautiful and one of the most costly ever used here by Under-taker C. C. Williams, since being established in the city of Ronoke. The funeral eulogy was delivered by the pastor, Roy, W. W. Leg. The remains were solemnly laid to rest in Midway Cemetery. Rev. J. S. Hatcher, of Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church and his choir and congregation worshiped at the Ninth Avenue Christian Church Monday night, May 19. Rev. J. R. Lounderbach introduced the speaker, who read St. Luke 4:1$ as his text, as fellows, "The spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He hath anointed $m$ to preach the Gospel to the poor; He hath sent me to heal the broken hearted; to preach deliverance to the captives and receiving of sight to the blind, set at liberty them that are brushed." A very helpful discourse was delivered. All could truthfully say that it was good that they had gone up to $th$ house of the Lord. An offering of $6.50 was given after which cream was served. Mrs. Ramsey, of 151 Welis Alley, N. W., who has suffered greatly from rheumatism and eczema and swollen feet and limbs for a long while, was induced by M. Stankoff to use Dr. D. P. Ordway's Foot Plasters, which she began ten days ago together with Liquid Indian Herb Tonic, which are proving very helpful to her as she reports to the agent, M. Stankoff. Mrs. Ophelia Faulkner, who underwent an operation a few weeks ago is reported having had a very success ful time and is getting along very nicely and expect to be home soon. Mrs. Mary Ferguson wishes to use this method in thanking the many friends who were so nice in assisting her during the sickness and death of her beloved husband, Mr. Austin Ferguson, who died April 29, and especially the Brotherhood, of which he was a member for the beautiful design given by this grand organization.

Sutton, one of the N. and W. chef cooks, before writing his song. Salty Sutton could have given him an idea of some smiles he didn't know about and everybody wanted to know why Salty Sutton was so full of smiles. It's true he is a member of the Hogs but they haven't pulled off anything lately to put such smiles on any one. But our old friend had a right to smile and if more of our friends will follow Salty Sutton's example and be able to smile as he is smiling, the entire race would be in a better condition. Mr. Sutton had just lifted the last note on his cozy hom@ at 131 Seventh Avenue, N. W. and he was the happiest man in town and we are glad with him.

RAGE - COUNTRY - WORLD NEWS THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia State Library TIME IS FLEETING - NEEP POSTED --- VOLUME XXXVI. NUMBER 28 HUNTER CASE A LYNCHING IN WASHINGTON THE VIEW OF A WHITE WOMAN. Four years ago a man named Herman B. Moems came to Washington. He presented letters of recommendation which were accepted at their face value by the president of the board of education and by others in authority. These letters placed "Dr. Moems as a gentleman and scientist of such standing that he was permitted to go into the schools of Washingto make scientific examination of the books. He was admitted not only into the schools without question but he was received in many of the most cultured homes, both white and colored. Last October this man was indicted for having obscene pictures in his posession. The recent trial has proved that the possession of obscene pictures was the least of his offences. The hideousness of his crime could scarcely be credited except that Moems himself has confirmed as true the testimony of women. He was tried, found guilty attested to one year's imprisonment with a fine of $500. And this might be the end of the story as far as decent people are concerned were it not that Moens did not restrict his acquaintance to the women of the streets. He posed as scientist and philanthropist, sainte lover of the colored people and in his low cunning, as camouflage for his soul deeds he made the acquaintance and through scrupulously guarded conduct secured the friendship of one of the finest and most cultured women of the colored race. This woman I have known for five years. I have known her intimately as a friend for nearly four years. During the pass, six months in which her name has been so tragically linked with his cause of her assistance in what she supposed purely scientific work I have known her innest thoughts. Upon me the painful day last November, taking her eyes to the character of this woman, she severed a connection with him. It is because of my intimate knowledge of these facts because of my knowledge of the very soul of this woman that I could never again in the sight of God say that I love justice if today I hold my peace. With full knowledge of the relationship of this man Moens and Charlotte E. Hunter from the beginning to the end of that relationship I affirm in this place and in all places where my words may be read or heard now and forever under each if it were possible that there was nothing wrong in the revelations to her Charlotte Hunter had not the slightest suspicion of the hidden life and real character of this man. And this even he has had the decency to establish. In the presence of a lawyer in my hearing he declared that he considered that his private life was no concern of hers. One fact in this connection ought $t_0$ be given wide publicity. One member of the board of education of this city of Washington is also a member of the Department of Justice. In his hands the Moens case was placed some four years ago. Moens was indicted on the twenty-fifth of last October every fact in the case being known at that time to this member of the board of education. And yet Charlotte Hunter held her position as teacher in the Dublin high school for more than five months after Moens' indictment. At no time was she asked to resign but finally on the eleventh of April due to the excited condition of the colored people which she believed had impaired her usefulness in the schools she handed in her reservation. And here again my account might end were it not for the degrading and heart-rendering aftermath. If I were not at the present time a citizen of Washington who with my own oyes and with my own cars have seen and heard what is going on in this city today I would not believe it. I was born, a northernner,—no credit to me—without race prejudice. One of my first playmates, my daily companion on my walks to and from school was a dark-skinned kinky headed little girl. I dimly remember "kindly" disposed neighbors who dropped in to ecligate my mother. I clearly see my abolitionist mother put on her bonnet, cross the lot to make a social call upon the child's behalf. I have felt the child's satisfied for my companionship with this little dark-skinned friend was un disturbed. I was born without race prejudice I was brought up without race prejudice. I have lived for nearly four years in Washington, southern in its sentiment without race prejudice. But, God forgive me during these past few weeks I have come perilously near knowing the meaning of those words. And why? What is it I have seen that has come so near to upsetting the traditions of a life time? I have attended two mass meetings of the *Parents' League* recently organized in Washington with the aim of ostensible purpose of "riding the scandal of moral teachers." Large sans of money, hundreds of dollars have been collected to pay lawyer's fees and to hire detectives for the work. These meetings have been held in the church of God—opened with prayer and the reading of scripture—and here, under the very eyes of God I have seen a lynching take place. Men and women of the colored race, and you it was a bideous sight. The man who was the man own to pieces by the hands of man mob, but a white-souled, dark-skinned woman torn to pieces by the tongues of her own race. And when unable to endure it I went upon the platform facing those thousands of dark faces and handed to the chairman a minister's wife, my calling card together with my husband's (Washington correspondent for the New York Nation) and begged to be allowed to speak five minutes from that platform, my request was finally refused. And in that great audience others rose to speak in her defense but they were not allowed. One man had a definite communication from the board of education stating that only one teacher in the schools of Washington had had any connection with the Moens' case and she had been added in only as a witness. These zealots after righteousness would not permit this communication to be read! Righteousness? Certainly not zealots at or truth for one of the leaders openly declared that while they meant to be fair they intended that but one side of the question should be held out and others hire a ball." Tues. were told an audience no one was permitted to rise in his place to deny them. An old man dribbled obscences and the chairman did not stop him. An editor of one of the colored papers, at each weekly meeting made the same promises what he could and would publish the information and the more important and sensation-loving of his audience but up to the present hour his promises remain unfulfilled. But the meetings continue; the money pours in; and all for what? To get rid of teachers that are not there! To so twist this cabinity which has fallen upon the colored community of Washington, through the perfidy of one white man as to make it the occasion for a political campaign against the assistant superintendent of schools. To so blacken the character of a blameless woman the innocent victim of a perfidious wretch; that there; throughout the country shall she be able to earn her bread—if their avowed purposes are successful! They will not be. Charlotte Hunter walks the streets of Washington her head umbowed for she knows her own innocence. And furthermore she knows there is no man or woman white or black who has ever known her who credits for one moment one scintillation of the lies that have been told.

THE VIRGINIA PYTHIAN CHARTER NOT REVOKED COURT OF APPEALS DECEMBER GRAND LODGE, KNIGHTS OF PYTHAS IS IN LAWFUL POSSESSION OF ITS CHARTER. Suspension Order Recognized—The Attempt to Unblock Python Jails Fails "Washington, May 16.—The United States Circuit Court of Appeals handed down a decision in the case of the Grand Lodge, K. of P. of Virginia against the Supreme Lodge, K. of P. recently, reversing the action taken by the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia and holding that the Supreme Chancellor, S. W. Green of Louisiana, lawfully suspended the Virginia Grand Lodge, of which John Mitchell, Jr. is Grand Chancellor. "The case has been in the courts for four years and was the result of Virginia's Grand Lodge and John Mitchell refusing to pay its taxes and was thereby suspended, Supreme Chancellor Green's suspension of the Grand Lodge of Virginia was upon the advice of Supreme Attorney S. A. T. Watkins together with the approval of the Supreme Lodge seems to be approved. This seems to be the end of a long and expensive litigation, and the settlement of the questions go long disputed." Chicago Defender. Editor, Chicago Defender: The Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia has handed down a decision in the Virginia Case, Knights of Pythias, declaring the action of the Supremo Lodge, Knights of Pythias, N, A., S. A. E., A, A. & A. in revoking the charter of the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of Virginia in its biennial session at Baltimore, Maryland, in 1913 and its further effort to do the same thing at its biennial session at Columbus. Ohio, in 1915 was null and void and that the Grand Lodge of Virginia Knights of Pythias is in lawful possession of its charter and is accordingly inside of that Order. He decided that the suspension of the Grand Lodge, K of P, of Virginia by the Supreme Chancellor was justified on account of the issuance of the "Shoaking Conditions" circular, issued and distributed by the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of Virginia. It did not pass upon the cause for the issuance of this circular and it did not pass upon the legality of the tax levy or the legality of the adoption of the new Constitution of the Supreme Lodge. The effect of the decision is to place the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of Virginia exactly where it was prior to the session of the Supreme Lodge at Baltimore. The object and purpose of the Supreme Lodge, officials have been to revoke the charter of the aforesaid Grand Lodge in order to permit the present State to set up another Grand Lodge with officers friendly to the present regime. This decision prevents him from doing this. The Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of Virginia is operating under two charters,—a fraternal charter issued by the Supreme Lodge and a corporation charter issued by the State of Virginia. The Grand Lodge can operate under either the one or —Deacon Robert Howlett is still at Emont, Va, improving slowly. —Mrs. Sarah A. Reid of Orange, Va., was in the city this week. —Rev. A. A. Hector has returned to the city after having served faithfully at Camp Upton. He is looking well and has been highly commended for the services he has rendered. —Rev. Theo. H. White of Clifton Forge, Va., passed through the city last Thursday enroute home from the Virginia Baptist State Convention. KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS New Lodge at Front Royal, Va. Front Royal, Va., May 15—Grand Chancellor John Mitchell, Jr. set up a lodge here last night forty-two strong. With him came Dr. A. A. Tennant, Grand Medical Register and Rev. L. J. Morris, District Deputy. District Deputy r. J. Byrd, of Strasburg met the party and they were taken to the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Dungon, where a deputy was served. Many Knights came over from Strasburg, Winchester and Berryville. The candidates were initiated in one hour and fifty minutes and joy reigned supreme. Grand Chancellor Mitchell installed the following officers: Chancellor Commander, William Carter; Master of Work, Rev. W. D. Wood; Vice-Chancellor, Robert Travis; Prelate, Daniel Baltimore; Master of Exeququer, J. W. Mansfield; Master of Finance, Edward Johnson; Keeper of Records and Seal, C. E.

Mrs. Julia Stokes, 518 N. First Street was been ill for some time. She hereby thanks her many friends for their kindness during her illness. Her daughters, Mrs. Louisa Bailey, of Atlantic City and Mrs. Mary Smallwood, of California, have been with her several weeks. Mrs. Stokes is now better and hopes to be out in a few days. The members of the St. John Watchmen are thanked also for their unlifting attention to Mrs. Stokes, who is one of the founders of that great order. THE VIRGINIA BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION OVER THE TOP The fifty-second annual session of the Virginia Baptist State Convention convened with the First Baptist Church, Harrison Street, Petersburg, Va., the Rev. S. T. Eldridge, D. D., Pastor, closed Sunday with a shout of triumph, and throughout the entire session the convention covered itself with great grace. A large and enthusiastic delegation assembled on the first day and the machine was set for work and session after session its business was transacted and program executed in the most pleasing and credible manner. It took about one minute to elect officers. All of the old officers were re-elected except the Recording Secretary, who had tendered his resignation to Dr. W. H. R. Powell, A. B. of Alexandria and Recorder, Dr. Walter H. Brooks in a most impressive address inducted the officials into their various offices. THE SERMONS The preachers were all well prepared and delivered their messages with great emphasis and effect. The convention sermon was preached by Dr. W. W. Brown, of New York, "Our Larger Vision and Presence," Our Larger Vision and Presence, which it is enough to say Dr. Brown lived up to all his reputation promised us. The Rev. W. E. Lee of Roanoke preached the educational sermon, using as his subject, "Knowledge That Brings Freedom." The sermon promised much for the future of such a youth-preacher, High Street Church has a preacher now, but in his rijer years we predict great things for him. The missionary sermon was preached by the Rev. W. H. R. Powell, A. B. of Alexandrin, Trained in the Virginia Seminary and Lincoln University, the Rev. Mr. Powell is another character of great promise, His sermon was well prepared and carefully delivered. Sunday morning the President preached the afternoon the Rev. M. L. Gordon of St. John and Dr. S. W. Timms at night. The Gospel program was strong and helpful. ADDRESSES Dr. W. T. Watkins, of New Jersey delivered a strong and masterly address from the subject, "Will the Bishops Hold Their Own in the Midst of Migratory Disturbances and the Reconstruction?" and the Rev. J. B. Pharv brought a ringing message from Connecticut, using the subject, "Drifting into the Field of Fidelity, Excessive Speculation and the Remedy." It was the common comment that President Woods in his educational address excelled himself. To fail to compliment the orator was a reflection on any auditor, was a sentiment expressed by many visitors. After the address, a distinguished member of the Harrison Street Church said he so impressed as he sat reflecting on the orator, said he, plucked himself to become an annual donor as long as he lived and after his activities were ceased. THE FINANCE. The convention raised in actual cash on the table ten thousand, eight hundred and eighteen dollars and thirty cents, and money is still Goodwill. FIFTH BAPTIST CHURCH WILL BURN THE MORTGAGE Rev. A. D. Daily Completes Great Work for Sydney Congregation. Mortgage burning will take place at the Fifth Baptist Church, corner Harvie and Cary Street, Thursday night, May 29, at 8:30. The members and friends of this church are urged to be present.

Jackson, leader will sing. Mrs. John R. Chiles has returned to the city after spending seven weeks visiting her daughter, Mrs. M. E. Norris, of Kimnock, Va. She left mother and daughter getting along nicely. PRICE. FIVE CENTS Twelve Thousand Dollars Subscribed The Victory Loan rally at the Eleanorze Baptist Church Thursday night, May 5th was a success. Mr. John T. Taytlaisted, while Rev Dr. M. E. Davis was master of core monies. Mr. M. Alphonzo Norrell was secretary. The most interesting feature was the address of Lieutenant George J. Hundley who was hired by Editor John Mitchell, Jr., and Timmy spoke for nearly an hour. He has an interesting account of the conditions in the payne district on the French front. He was in charge of one of the companies of the famous Fifteenth New York Regiment and his description of the valor of the colored troops elicited unbound applause. He was the only white Virginian connected with the regiment and his account of the great struggle was realistic and interesting. Never from a rostrum has a white citizen paid such a glowing tribute to the colored soldier, the initiative in action, bravery be fore the enemy and dangerous and trying conditions had not been excelled by any fighters in the world. The speaker made a profound impression and at the conclusion of his remarks, he was given a viking vote of thanks and when he passed out all arose, singing "God Be With You 'Till We Meet Again" and giving him the Chauant qua salute. Twelve thouls and dollars was subscribed in a short while. Lieutenant Hundley is the son of Judge Hundley of Farmville, Va He was wounded in action and as he spoke carried his hand in a sling, and he was brought to the Holley name and has been a most powerful factor in aiding in the campaign for funds for the Government. The Southern Aid Society subscribed ten thousand dollars to the last Victory Loan. Red Cross Notes On last Friday evening the S. Iola Club used the Red Circle Club as the last stop, Paris France in a delightful trip around the world. The large crowd of young people enjoyed themselves as much as if they were seeing the real Paris of the days of the Monlin Rouge. On Monday evening the Home Fire Girls entertained their mothers. The occasion which was planned in honor of Mothers' Day was made especially relevant by the condition of a delightful program and the serving of a well planned menu. The mothers were so pleased with the work that girls are doing that they decided to form a committee to help in the work at the Red Circle Club first meeting of this club will be held Thursday, May 22 at eight thirty P.

The young people are already anticipating another sac occasion with Mr. Jordan and his orchestra. Mr. Tinsley and the glee club under his direction added much to the pleasure and success of the formal opening of the club on May 5th by several well rendered numbers. During the week there were seven teen club meetings and two special gatherings. The daily attendance at the club is steadily increasing, last week striking an average of one hundred and seventy. New groups are being formed our latest additions helping a dozen under the direction of Miss Mary Williams, and a class in stenography under Mrs. Fannie Turner White.

A. W. HOLMES, Supreme Master. RQSA THOMPSON, Supreme National Lecturer FLAGS! FLAGS! FLAGS! MITTELDORFER'S 217 E. BROAD FOR FLAGS! TWO HE POWER WHITE PASTOR SHOOTS YOUNG MAN ON SUNDAY MORNING. Rev. C. T. Beale and Son Locked Up in Jail at Farmville, Just about the time he was expected to preach his sermon yesterday morning, Rey, C. T. Beale, pastor of the Baptist Churches at Dillwyn and Buckingham Courthouse, went to the Dillwyn Inn and is alleged to have sent four bullets into the body of Robert Spencer, white, probably inflicting fatal wounds. Spencer, who is one of the best known young business men of the county, was rushed to Richmond in an automobile and carried to the Johnston-Willis Sanatorium for treatment. Dr. A. M. Willis, the surgeon in charge said that he was in a very serious condition, having been struck once in the head, once in the neck and twice in the back. One of the bullets is said to have lodged in his lungs. MINISTER AND SON IN JAIL The minister was taken to Farmville and lodged in jail, after declaring that he was afraid to remain in the one at Buckingham Courthouse. Mr. Beale's son, who is said to have accompanied his father to the inn where the shooting occurred, also was arrested as an accessory and is in the jail at Farmville. It is charged that he was armed with a knife. In the preliminary hearing before a justice of the peace, the minister made no defense. Little is known of the details leading up to the tragedy, but it is said that Beale's daughter figures prominently in the misunderstanding between Spencer and the minister. DAUGHTER FIGURES IN CASE. On Friday night, according to reports, the young woman, who is about eighteen years old, left her home, going in the direction of Bremo. Spencer, it is said, found her near New Canton and brought her back to Dillwyn. She did not return home, it is reported, but remained that night at the home of a well-known citizen. Spencer's mother, a member of Beale's church, was one of the congregation waiting for the minister to arrive when the shooting occurred. She was notified of the tragedy while still in the church. Spencer is a son of the late Samuel Spencer, who at one time represented the county in the Legislature. He has been a resident of Dillwyn for a number of years and is a well-known Mason. The minister has been pastor of the two churches for about nine years. NEWS FROM CHICAGO Trinity A. M. E.

The great success of the rally held last Sunday at the First Baptist Church, Lake Forest, is largely due to the untiring efforts of Mesdames Maggie Davis and Mildred Jordan, who raised $375.00. Rev. B. H. Hunter, pastor, is much pleased. PLANS FOR HOME COMING WEEK Thousands of our brave boys are coming hom, from the scenes of the European War.

COLEMAN, AGENT, 107 W. Clay St., Richmond, Va. TO GROW LONG STRAIGHT HAIR YOU NEED A REAL SCALP FOOD. There are $o$ so many so-called hair growers on the market, a large number of which are nothing mor$o$ than perfumed grease, it is no wonder people get discouraged and lose faith in all hair tins. In deciding what to use on your scalp be sure and get a remedy of proven merit. Seebys Quinado is a highly medicated pomade that has stood the test of time. It is a real scalp food; it stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long hair. Quinado is the invention of an expert chemist and is made under the supervision of an experienced registered pharmacist. It makes the hair soft and smooth and easy to put up in the style desired. To get best results from the use of Quinadine it is necessary to shampoo the scalp about every two weeks with Sooby's Quinasoap. Quinasoap is made entirely out of pure vegetable oils, principally coconut oil, and is a thorough cleanser. Quinasoap lathers very freely. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing fooling to the scalp unequalled by any other shampoo. Do not accept any substitute, but insist on getting Sooby's Quinadine and Sooby's Quinasoap, asking for them by the full name. Price is 25 cents each. If your drugstrict or dealer does not stock these two articles ask him to obtain them for you from his wholesaler or send us the price and we will mall them to you.

WRITE TODAY to THE EXCELSIOR MANUFACTURING CO., 265 South Bland Street, Bluefield, West Virginia TWO SATURDAY.....MAY 24, 1919 WHITE PASTOR SHOOTS YOUNG MAN ON SUNDAY MORNING. Rev, C. T. Beale and Son Locked Up in Jail at Farmville. Just about the time he was expected to prosec his sermon yesterday morning, Rev, C. T. Beale, pastor of the Baptist Churches at Dillwyn and Buckingham Courthouse, went to the Dillwyn fun and is alleged to have sent four bullets into the body of Robert Spencer, white, probably inflicting fatal wounds. Spencer, who is one of the best known young business men of the county, was rushed to Richmond in an automobile and carried to the Johnston-Willis Sanatorium for treatment. Dr. A. M. Willis, the surgeon in charge said that he was in a very serious condition, having been struck once in the head, once in the neck and twice in the back. One of the bullets is said to have lodged in his lungs. MINISTER AND SON IN JAIL The minister was taken to Farmville and lodged in jail, after declaring that he was afraid to remain in the one at Buckingham Courthouse. Mr. Beale's son, who is said to have accompanied his father to the inn where the shooting occurred, also was arrested as an accessory and is in the jail at Farmville. It is claimed that he was armed with a knife. In the preliminary hearing before a justice of the peace, the minister made no defense. Little is known of the details leading up to the tragedy, but it is said that Beale's daughter figures prominently in the misunderstanding between Spencer and the minister. DAUGHTER FIGURES IN CASE On Friday night, according to reports, the young woman, who is about eighteen years old, left her home, going in the direction of Bremo, Spencer, it is said, found her near New Curton and brought her back to Dillwyn. She did not return home, it is reported, but remained that night at the home of a well-known citizen. Spencer's mother, a member of Beale's church, was one of the congregation waiting for the minister to arrive when the shooting occurred. She was notified of the tragedy while still in the church. Spencer is a son of the late Samuel Spencer, who at one time represented the county in the Legislature. He has been a resident of Dillwyn for a number of years and is a well-known Mason. The minister has been pastor of the two churches for about nine years. NEWS FROM CHICAGO Trinity A. M. E.

For the purpose of honoring these colored men who went to the war from Virginia a great "Home Coming" welcome has been planned to take place in the city of Richmond. All the colored citizens of this State are not only invited but urged to take part in this welcome on July S. 1919. On this day the great parade of colored soldiers and sailors from overseas and those who were inducted into the service but did not get across, will take place in Richmond, at 11:40 A. M. The soldiers will be escorted by all the secret and business societies, social clubs and school children of the city and state. Seven bands will be in the line. An effort is being made to have battalions of students from Rock Castle and from Hampton Institute in the parade, also. Speakers of national reputation will deliver addresses during the celebration. In honoring these Negro soldiers who did so much to place the colored race higher in the world's future history, w., are honoring our race. We are asking all the colored people of Virginia to come and help the people of Richmond to make this the greatest affair in our State since Emancipation. To carry out this program successfully money will be needed. Checks, money order, sent to Mr M. A. Norrell, Chairman, Army and Navy Club on Clay Street, Richmond, Virginia, will be promptly acknowledged by recolts. The large cities of the State like Norfolk, Romooke, and Petersburg are asked to send debitations from clubs, societies and associations to take part in the parade on July 8.

Harry C. Smith when he was a member of th Ohio legislature. As we understand it, the trouble in Ohio is from the failure as enforce the law and not from any defect in the measure as originally drafted by its brilliant patron. If we are mistaken in this, we shall be pleased to be so advised. MR. SCOTTS DEFENSE. Hon. Emmett J. Scott is not following in the footsteps of his great and good friend, Dr. Booker T. Washington to the extent of remaining silent, when he is unjustly assailed in the public press or from the public rostrum. He seeds out a reply to the asperSION upon the discharge of his duties as the Special Assistant to the Secretary of War and turns his defense into an attack upon that brilliant scholar and journalist Dr. W. E. B. DuBois. We must admit that Mr. Scott makes out a strong case and in the production of letters proves that he did not "sleep on the job," but did everything humanly possible to ameliorate the condition of the colored troops in this country and in France. We have always been of the opinion that Hon. Emmett J. Scott was used as "a buffer" to relieve the present Administration of much embarrassment in dealing with the race question and that he served the purpose well goes without saying. He did much for us and proved himself to be an important factor in checking much of the prejudicial act ion that was taken against our people by those white men who had an anti pathy to colored people generally. We mean to say that we do not believe that Mr. Scott was a party to condoning the wrongs inflicted upon our colored troops or in making more marked and oppressive the prejudicial conditions inflicted upon them. We regret that it has been necessary for him to speak in his own defense. If Dr. Du Bois has direct evidence of Mr. Scott's duplicity, now is the time to produce it. Certainly, it would be manifestly unjust to him to infer that he heard the eries of distress of our people in France and then sat down supinely, making no effort to remedy the conditions that he knew existed in that trouble ridden country. THAT SCATHING REPLY. In his scatling reply to Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, Hon. Emmett J. Scott has proven that he does not belong to the "sheep" class but that he has proven his right to be classed among the alcat fighters now in the public arena. He indulges in the art of defense and attack. He says: "Yes, I have read Dr. DuBois' questions as propounded and sent around to the colored newspapers through his advance sheets. Apparently he seeks to discredit one who, according to his own testimony, has been laboring in the War Department "under very difficult circumstances" and who has never failed during the war to take a firm stand for the rights of Negro soldiers at home and overseas. In the first place, I do not recognize the usurped right of Dr. DuBois to "call me to account," or as the man to whom I must give an account of my stewardship. I am willing to leave to that loyal, unbiased and sane jury of twelve million colored Americans, whose interests I have endeavored to represent in the War Department the verdict as to whether or not I have done my full duty. I am now preparing an account of my stewardship which will be presented to that jury at the right time and in the proper way. In the representative capacity I have been serving during the war I necessarily welcomed the 'loyal and unselfish cooperation' of all colored Americans, whether of the radical or conservative type, but again quoting the words of Dr. DuBois my association with him during the war has been "At The Cost of Suspicion and Criticism," for I have been repeatedly warned that he is neither unselfish nor sincere. This is Mr. Scott's estimate of Dr. DuBo's. He says further: It is rather amusing, however, to read on pages 7 and 8 of the same book of The Child's wherein, Dr. DuBo is positive the self-appointed task of including any allied neglect or culture to do certain things or "every thing" in the catalog he headed "My Mish Mish" he says: "I went to Paris. * * * What did I do when I got there? First, There Were Certainly to see that I Did Not Do. * * * But it did not follow that because I Could Not Do Everything. I Could Do Nothing." This is turning a Dr. Dullois "gun" on Dr. Dullois. He clinches it when he continues: Now I was precisely the same when I came to Washington and began to labor "under very difficult conditions" (as Dr. Dutton states it) in the War Department. "There were certain things that I did not oo" and I soon found that "I Could Not Do Everything" but there were a number of important things I could do and did do for the benefit of Negro soldiers in camps a home as well as overseas. Of course no same person would ask or expect a man holding a confidential position in a great Department of the Government to reveal in public print official and confidential information but as proof of the fact that complaints concerning Negro soldiers overseas reported to me by Negro Officers, Negro Chapulines, and Negro and other American civilians did receive prompt action or my land; I submit at this time just a few of the many letters which I have received from Negro officers who actually served overseas and from other "son who brought specific complainants and grievances of Negro soldiers evercases to my office for attention. "These letters express appreciation of the satisfactory and in most cases, the effective way in which I have taken up and handled all such complaints." We have always been of the opinion that Mr. Scott passed up the complaints filed with him and that they went to the "sleeping archives" of the War Department. What could he do about it? He was there as a "buffer" and he could not be held personally responsible. He wanted to resign and he could not, well do so. He makes another statement: Be it remembered that American white officers and soldiers had their hardships, troubles and grievances as well as the Negro troops belonging to the American Expeditionary forces, some of which they had to endure and all of which they was not possible for even the War Department, in Washington altogether to remove or remedy—and yet I offer no apologies for these conditions or hardships! Mr. Scott should remember that complaint is not made of the hardships to which our colored troops were subjected but on account of discriminations made on account of race and color. They went over there to take a soldier's fare but they did no go over there to feel the pangs of American race prejudice in the midst of a people who made no discrimination on account of race or color. He comes back at Dr. DuBois when he says further: In order that the exact facts might be secured regarding colored soldiers overseas it will be recalled then. It was upon the recommendation of the Negro Editors' Conference held in Washington, D. C., June 1918 which recommendation was pressed by me; Mr. Ralph W. Tyler was designated by the Committee on Public Information to render this service. Mr. Tyler constantly called to the attention of the War Department, through me, certain conditions; and in each and every case these complaints were brought to the attention of the proper officials of the War Department. My files evidence the fact that Dr. Dutloff wrote me repeatedly calling to my attention complaint after complaint concerning wrongs, grievances discriminations eter, alleged to exist among Negro soldiers in various camps here in America. He was in formed time after time with reference to the investigations which followed as a result of those complaints and expressed in writing his satisfaction with the action taken in following up such complaints. Having gone on his "Mission" to France December 1, 1918 why did he wait five months until the May 1919 issue of "The Crisis" to mention to me any overseas complaints? I fear that the animating impulse of his press ent inquiries has not as yet been altogether disclosed to the public. An old and familiar saying, "When folks can't use you they then 'knock' you' comes to my mind. Dr. Du Bois knows, and his friends know and the record proves that as far back as two days before the meeting of the No gro Editor's Conference which I call ed her in Washington June 1918 he was seeking my personal good offices that he might realize personal aspirations. He knows that I did everything I could to help him secure that much coveted commission in the army which he so eagerly but vainly sought. He also knows, as the record will show when necessarily arises, that there were other occasions also when Dr. Dutloff probably felt I might be used for "pulling chestnuts out of the fire for him." Mr. Scott "tells secrets out of school" when he refers to that captainy in the regular army. He then reproduces letters received by him from Mr. Coleman of the American Expeditionary forces in France and from Edward L. Sydner, Y. M. C. A. Secretary in France to sustain his contention. He also reproduces a letter received from Archibald H. Grimke LKE RICHMOND, FLORIDA, BIGGEMOND, VIRGINIA President; Washington Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. He makes the following drastic comment after citing from these letters: I would rather have the testimony of these gentlemen who know the facts concerning my efforts in behalf of Negro seeds or overseas, some of whom actually served "over there" than to be at all perturbed by or to treat other then with antipopulation contempt the instigating; remarks unbridled and broken of a self-centered, self-selffag, unfair cettle; the main drift of whose life has been to try to "tear down" and to destroy what other men have sought to build up for the honor and welfare of their country and their race. Discredited himself by a large poser of the Negro press of the country, he now seeks to discredit others. Surely "honesty likes currency," but in the desperate effort of D. Duluths to rehabilitate himself in the eyes of the Negro world after the overcrowding he has received in the Negro public press and other wise it might be well for him to know that if he is trying to "come back" and again pose as an ardent defender of the race; he shall not do so at my expense. I am fully prepared for any further enslaughter he may make. Emnett J. Scott is "mad clean through." He regards Dr. Dulbois as an enemy and he has not spared any pains to emphasize this fact. He is ready to fight all along the line and he is proving to Dr. Dulbois that he is a faecan "worthy of his steel." The "die is cast; the Rubicon is crossed" and two of the greatest colored men in this country are now open enemies. It is an unfortunate situation of affairs. What will Dr. W. E. B. Dulbois do now? He has a staunch and enthusiastic following. Will the gauntlet thrown down be taken up by them? We shall see. In the meantime the distinguished New Yorker is on a lecture tour and he is "using the rod" on Mr. Scott and Dr. R. R. Moton and he is sparing not. Mr. Scott challenges Dr. W. E. B. Dulbois to present a "bill of particulars." We shall like to read that bill when it is presented. It may be that he has underground information concerning the distinguished Texan who now occupies a seat at the War Department. Mr. Scott is anxious to see it too if his words mean anything. Peace may be hovering over Europe but war has been declared by Hon. Emmett J. Scott in his very able defense against the suspensions an inuendoes of that master of diction, that gladiator in debate, Dr. W. E. B. Dulbois, editor of the Crisis of New York city, New York. BIG ISLAND NEWS --- Big Island, Va., May 12.—The Sixth Anniversary of Rev. W, C. Brown, pastor of Sharon Baptist Church Sunday was a glorious day with the members of Sharon Church. Rev. Brown occupied his pulpit at 11:30 and delivered a soul stirring discourse from the $_{\text{th}}$ text, "They that sow in tears shall reap in joy," the 126th Psalm and 15th verse. The subject was, "A Voice in the Night." All enjoyed the sermon and every heart was filled to its depth with joy and thankfulness for the blessing of having such a noble leader for six years. Rev. Brown came to Sharon Church in 1913. The Church was without pastor and just beginning to build with small means to continue the building. After two years elapsed the building was completed and today every dollar has been paid and now have deposited in bank several hundred dollars. We realize that we have a great leader and we are proud of him and pray that he may live long to continue the great work of uplifting fallen humanity. M S P. M. the service opened as usual after which there were general expressions by officers and members and various organizations were represented. All spoke in praise of Rev. Brown and many reiterated that they realized the blessing of having such a great preacher and pastor and would endeavor to uphold his arms. The collection for the day was $4.50. This day shall be one of long remembrance by all. Private James E. Mitchell has returned home from France. He was heartily welcomed by relatives and friends.—Sadie J. Reynolds, Reporter.

Paige an old resident of Farmville, Friday May 16 1919. Mr. Paige was suddenly taken ill from a stroke of paralysis and apoplexy of the brain. His children were sent for at once but ere they had reached the side of their father, he had passed away; dying abot 8 P. M. the same day. His wife refused to leave his side until death led him away. Mrs. Dr. Pogue, Ethel knew nothing of her father's death until her mother told her. Mr. Paige was born in August, 1861.

JULY 30-AUGUST 3. The Great Baptist Re-union and historic celebration of the landing of the Negroes at Jamestown will be held in Richmond, Va., July 30-August 3, 1919, under the auspices of the Baptist General Association of Virginia, the Women's Missionary and Educational Association of Virginia, the Virginia Baptist State Sunday School Convention and the Baptist Young People's Union of Virginia. The Baptist mon and women who have gone out from our old State are asked to cooperate with us in making the meeting a success in every way. An effort will be made to raise $25, 000 in the meeting for Missions and Education. (Continued from First Page.) coming in. This was six hundred dollars more than we have raised at any previous session without the aid of the auxiliary conventions. THE GREAT CAMPAIGN. Dr. S. A. Moses in a most masterly address launched the largest campaign ever launched by Colored Baptista in the State of Virginia. It was a campaign to raise one hundred thousand dollars in the next five years or twenty thousand dollars per year. The first pledge was that of Dr. W. F. Graham, of Philadelphia for one thousand, the second by the pastor of Fifth Street, Richmond, for one thousand, First Baptist, Norfolk, one thousand, students of Virginia Seminary, one thousand and then on down until more than eleven thousand and dollars were subscribed from less than half of the delegation. Brethren, you who did not pledge, send your pledges to the president and go to work at once to raise the amount you pledge. INDIVIDUAL PLEDGES Good Deacon Thwatt of the Harrison Street Church pledged one hundred dollars, good Deacon Powell fifty dollars. God bless such men. Come on, brethren, with your individual pledges. The full list of pledges will be, given later in the Christian Appeal. THE ENTERTAINMENT. I am persuaded that the convention was never better entertained than it was by the First Baptist Church, Harrison Street, on this occasion. Dr. S. T. Eldridge is a pastor of no mean ability. We regard him as a great addition to the working forces of our convention. His good people stood by him loyally and did honor to themselves and the great convention. PLACE OF NEXT MEETING. The convention adjourned Sunday night, May the eighteenth to meet in its fifty-third annual session with the Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Staunton, the Roy, M. J. Gordon, pastor. NEW BUILDING.

THE VIRGINIA PYTHIAN (Continued from First Page.) the other or both. It will be seen then that after six years litigation, both sides are at the starting point, with the present Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias practically "supreme" in Virginia and with money enough in hand to continue the contest. Efforts to compromise the case have been repeatedly ignored by the present regime that controls the Supreme Lodge. So far as the Grand Lodge of Virginia is concerned, it is in possession of all its rights and privileges inside of this State and in possession of some of its rights and privileges outside of this State. Knowing that this is an age "That they should take who have the power And they should keep who can," in our fight for justice. "We know how sublime a thing it is To suffer and be strong."

Paige an old resident of Farmville, Friday May 16 1919. Mr. Paige was suddenly taken ill from a stroke of paralysis and apoplexy of the brain. His children were sent for at once but ere they had reached the side of their father, he had passed away; dying abot S P. M. the same day. His wife refused to leave his side until death led Lim away.

JULY 30-AUGUST 3. The Great Baptist Re-union and historic celebration of the landing of the Negroes at Jamestown will be held in Richmond, Va., July 30-August 3, 1919, under the auspices of the Baptist General Association of Virginia, the Women's Missionary and Educational Association of Virginia, the Virginia Baptist State Sunday School Convention and the Baptist Young People's Union of Virginia. The Baptist mon and woman who have gone out from our old State are asked to cooperate with us in making the meeting a success in every way. An effort will be made to raise $25, 000 in the meeting for Missions and Education. (Continued from First Page.) coming in. This was six hundred dollars more than we have raised at any previous session without the aid of the auxiliary conventions. THE GREAT CAMPAIGN Dr. S. N. Moses in a most masterly address launched the largest campaign ever launched by Colored Baptista in the State of Virginia. It was a campaign to raise one hundred thousand and dollars in the next five years or twenty thousand dollars per year. The first pledge was that of Dr. W. F. Graham, of Philadelphia for one thousand, the second by the pastor of Fifth Street, Richmond, for one thousand, First Baptist, Norfolk, one thousand, student of Virginia Seminary, one thousand and then on down until more than eleven thousands and dollars were subscribed from less than half of the delegation. Brethren, you who did not pledge, send your pledges to the president and go to work at once to raise the amount you pledge. INDIVIDUAL PLEDGES Good Deacon Thwett of the Harrison Street Church pledged one hundred dollars, good Deacon Powell fifty dollars, God bless such men. Come on, brotheren, with your individual pledges. The full list of pledges will be given later in the Christian Appeal. THE ENTERTAINMENT. I am persuaded that the convention was never better entertained than it was by the First Baptist Church, Harrison Street, on this occasion. Dr. S. T. Eldridge is a pastor of no mean ability. We regard him as a great addition to the working forces of our convention. His good people stood by him loyalty and did honor to themselves and the great convention. PLACE OF NENT MEETING The convention adjourned Sunday night. May the eighteenth to meet in its fifty third annual session with the Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Staunton, the Rev. M. L. Gordon, pastor. NEW BUILDING Another great building will be erected on Seminary Hill this year. Brethren, rally to the standard bearers. Yours for His great kingdom. T. J. KING, President. THE VIRGINIA PYTHIAN (Continued from First Page.) the other or both. It will be seen then that after six years litigation, both sides are at the starting point, with the present Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias practically "supreme" in Virginia and with money enough in hand to continue the contest. Efforts to compromise the case have been repeatedly ignored by the present regime that controls the Supreme Lodge. So far as the Grand Lodge of Virginia is concerned, it is in possession of all its rights and privileges inside of this State and in possession of some of its rights and privileges outside of this State. Knowing that this is an age "That they should take who have the power And they should keep who can," in our fight for justice, "We know how sublime a thing it is To suffer and be strong."
