RACE - COUNTRY - WORLD NEWS VOLUME XXXVI. NUMBER 35. BATTLING NELSON PAYS GREAT TRIBUTE TO GANS. Former Lightweight Champion Calls Negro Fighter Best of Them All in His Division. HAD "INDIAN SIGN" ON HIM Ring Title Went to Wolfgang in 1910 When Nelson Foigned He Was Groggy, and Referee Ed. Smith Gave Decision to Ad. (By James J. Corbett.)) New Yrk, July 5.0—"Joe Gans was the greatest lightweight that ever lived and don't let anyone tell you otherwise" declares Battling Nelson, who fought the marvellous Negro three times and knocked him out twice. "But you didn't have any trouble beating him," someone commented. "That's true," answered the former king of lightweights, "but there were reasons. I had the Indian sign on that boy. He could kick every other man in the world but he could not do it to me. Every fighter has such a rival; a man who is inferior to himself yet the inferior man can whip him in every start. Terry McGovern was a better all around fighter than Young Corbett. But Corbett knocked Terry kicking both times. Jim Coffey was an infinite better man than Frank Moran yet Moran whipped him in each start. Ring history records a hundred cases where great fighters went down to defeat before poorer men who somehow or other had their number, COULD NOT OVERCOME NELSON "Gans could whip every man I whipped about ten times faster than I did. He could have gone against some who gave me awful beatings or knocked them kicking in a round or two with one hand tied behind his back. But he couldn't get me. The records show that Gans won from me on a foul in Goldfield in 1966 in the forty second round. But the real truth is that I knocked out Gans as fairly in that fight as I did on July 4, 1909 and also on September 0, 1909 when I gave him a return match. I ued the very same left body punch in 1906 when the referee disqualified me as I did in my winning fight three years later. But foxy little Joe got away with it in 1906 even though the wallop land coh up on the body. "Gans knew more about the science of fighting than all the men I met put together. He was a master ring man, skilled in every department of the game. His footwork was marvelous, his speed bewildering, his stock of tricks inexhaustible and he was game to the core. HIT WITH GREAT POWER "And Gans could hit, oh, boy, how he could hit. He was fundamentally a boxer, but he packed power in eith or hand that only one lightweight since I began has eclipsed. And the boy who could drive harder than Gans was Amelio Herrera, the Mexican who began knocking the boys cold in 1898 and faded from the ring ten years later. Herrera hit like a heavyweight. He was the greatest knock 'em dead artist the lightweight ranks ever produced. His record is one long list of knockouts. And practically all of them were scored with the pile driver right hand of his. I felt it once, and I never liked to think about it afterward. I gave Herrera a fight in 1904 in Butte, Mont., when the Mexican was at his best. Somewhere along in the second or third round he drew me into range and that right hand hit me on the forehead. I went over back wards, and in so doing my head crashed against the floor with an awful bump. The crowd began leaving. It figured the fight was over, for no man that Herrera ever had dropped got back to his feet again before 'ten' was sounded over him. But I fooled 'em and beat the Mexican in the end. But was silent for a moment as his mind roamed back over the stormy fighting days of his spectacular youth. BOWSER—SMITH —Mrs. Alma P. Mosey announces the marriage of her sister Miss Alice E.

THE HOLINESS PUBLISHING CO. 52 E. 12nd Street, New York City THE LYNCHING RECORD FOR FIRST 6 MONTHS 1919 Dear Sir—I send you the following information concerning lynchings for the first six months of this year. I find according to the records kept by the department of Records and Research of the Tuskegee Institute, Monroe N. Work in charge, that there have been in the first six months of 1914 28 lynchings. This is 7 less than the number 35 for the first six months of 1918 and 14 more than the number 14, for the first 6 months of 1917. Of those lyncheds 25 were Negroes and 3 were white. Seven of those put to death, were charged with the crime of rape. One woman is reported to have been lynched. The States in which lynchings occurred and the number for each State are as follows: Alabama; 3; Arkansas 4; Florida; 2; Georgia 3; Louisiana; 4; Mississippi 7; Missouri 1; North Carolina 2; South Carolina 1; Texas; 1; Very truly, ROBERT R. MOTON, Principal. Jack Dempsey Credited with Knocking Out Jess Willard in three Rounds. Tobedo, O., July 4. — Immediately on the close of today's bout between Wilard and Dempsey, an argument arose as to how many rounds it lasted and how it should be designated in the records as many wagers were made on the duration of the fight, hence the keen interest. The bout lasted three rounds and will be credited as a knockout for the victor in three rounds. The fourth round never was start ed and the gong never sounded for the fourth round. The towel was tossed into the ring at least ten seconds before the time for the fourth round to begin. The same thing took place in New Orleans, when Peter Maher, who was fighting Fitz, refused to come out of his corner for the fourteenth round. Fitz is credited with knocking out Maher in thirteen rounds. SEVENTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE NATIONAL IDEAL SOCIETY. The National Ideal Benefit Society of Richmond District will hold its seventh anniversary at First Baptist Church, South Richmond, Fifteenth and Decatur Streets, Sunday afternoon, July 20, 1919, at 3:30 o'clock.

THE MUST BE SPECIFIED. SIEGHE D- THE SOUTH. MR. WALTON TAKES CHARQE. Negotiations, involving the formation of a circuit of colored thatres with Lester A. Walton as general manager, has just been completed, and the merger is generally regarded as the most important and far-reaching step ever taken in the history of theatricals wherein all concerned ware colored. The first significant move to establish a chain of colored houses taking in the principal cities of the North and South was made a few weeks ago when a syndicate headed by E. C. Brown, the colored banker of Philadelphia and Norfolk, took over the lease of the Lafayette Theatre at 131st street and Seventh avenue, New York and also assumed all outstanding contracts which the Quality Amusement Corporation had made with the Lafayette Players, the best known dramatic organization among colored people in the country. In Philadelphia a 1600 seat house, to be known as the Dunbar is being built at Broad and Lombard streets, just two blocks from the Shuhert Theatre, by a company of which E. C. Brown is president; Lester A. Walton vice president and Andrew P. Stevens, secretary and treasurer. The ground, building and equipment will cost $275,000. The Avenue Theatre, Chicago; How ard, Washington; Colonial, Baltimore and houses in Pittsburgh, Richmond Norfolk, Cincinnati, Indianapolis and Louisville will be included in the cir enit, and the syndicate expects to acquire theatres in many of the large southern cities, notably New Orleans and Atlanta in the aor future. The promoters plan to organize and manage dramatic and musical companies for these colored houses aside from keeping in the field the four companies of Lafayette Players now working. The opening of a school of dramatic art in New York for young colored men and women has been decided upon, and a booking office to supply colored theatres through out the country with colored acts is planned. Lester A. Walton who for a num ber of years has been managing and dramatic editor of The New York Age, will in connection with his duties as general manager of the new circuit, also serve as manager of the Lafayette Theatre, where he will take full charge August 1.

Owing to the securing of certi- cates all persons going to Danville should be in the station not later than 3 P. M. in order to get seats in the special coaches arranged for the trip. The fare from Richmond to Danville is $4.56. The return rate will be one-third of this amount with the certificate, which must be secured from the ticket agent when the ticket is purchased to Danville, Va. This makes the round trip rate from Richmond to Danville. $6.00 Mrs. Austin Passes Away Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Austin of 42 west 22nd St., South Richmond, Va., a well known citizen, passed beyond this "vale of tears" on last Wednesday, July 2nd, and profound regret is expressed throughout the community in which she had gained so many friends and acquaintances.

Miss Rosa Lee James returned to the city last Sunday evening from Brooklyn, N. Y., where she attended and graduated from the famous Pratt Institute in dreammaking, tailoring and millinery. Miss James is also a graduate of Hartshorn Memorial College of this city. While many inducements have been offered her to begin her business career in New York and also Philadelphia, Pa., her numerous friends are desirous of having her locate in this city. But as yet, she has not expressed her intention in this matter. However, we hope the desire of friends will prevail. MRS. RUBY L. LEWIS GRANTED ABSOLUTE DIVORCE. The Honorable Beverly T. Crump, Judge of the Law and Equity Court of the city of Richmond entered a decree in his court on the eighth day of July, 1919, granting an absolute divorce to Ruby L.

Enquiries were made, but no one seemed willing to assume responsibility for the meeting under the "derece of the mask," which indicated that those attending the meeting would come in a way that one would not know the other. Colored soldiers recently returned from overseas were deeply interested and they expressed themselves freely. The Planet was the subject of discussion at the meeting of the Baptist Ministers' Conference at the Second Baptist Church last Monday and a committee was appointed to wait on Editor John Mitchell, Jr., and request that he be present at eleven o'clock next Monday morning when the subject will be taken up for discussion with a view to taking some action in connection therewith. Rev. W. T. Johnson, D. D., pastor of the First Baptist Church, Rev. Z. D. Lewis, D. D., pastor of the Second Baptist Church, Rev. T. J. King, D. D., pastor of the Fifth Street Baptist Church and many others were outspoken in connection with the affair. VICTORY SOCIAL There will be given a Victory Social at Elks Home, 1026 N.

We were astounded to have handed to us the original of a letter which had evidently been sent to certain white citizens here, calling a meeting of the Columbian Union, which claims to be a successor of the Ku Klux Klan with the emblems of that organization. The purposes of that body of men were to terrorize and maltreat colored people of both sexes. Its record of brutality and murder forms one of the darkest pages in American history. Now, when white people and colored ones are fraternizing and preparing to work for each other's interests this discordant note is heard here in Richmond. The meeting was called for Monday June 16th, at 8:30 and those who attended were to be seated in the Degree of the mask, what ever that means. Officers were to be elected. Who were they?

We are asking the same question of the President of the Business Men's Club, of the Mayor of the City of Richmond and of the Director of the Department of Public Safety. Were these officials advised of this meeting? Was this meeting held? If this Richmond Klan is organized, it is time for the right-thinking people in general, regardless of color, and the colored people in particular to do the same thing. What need can there be for such a gruesome organization at this time? When the white folks wanted the colored folks to help them, these colored folks responded with alacrity. What is the meaning of this revival of all of the old time hatred and the organization of a Ku Klux Klan right here in Richmond? Again, we repound the question, what does it mean?

NUMBER 35. BATTLING NELSON PAYS GREAT TRIBUTE TO GANS. Former Lightweight Champion Calls Negro Fighter Best of Them All in His Division. HAD "INDIAN SIGN" ON HIM Ring Title Went to Wolgast in 1910 When Nelson Fogtned He Was Groggy, and Referee Ed. Smith Gave Decision to Ad. (By James J. Corbett.) New Yrk, July 5.0—"Joe Gans was the greatest lightweight that ever lived and don't let anyone tell you oth erwise" declares Battling Nelson, who fought the marvelous Negro three times and knocked him out twice. "But you didn't have any trouble beating him," someone commented. "That's true," answered the former king of lightweights, "but there were reasons. I had the Indian sign on that boy. He could lick every other man in the world but he could not do it to me. Every fighter has such a rival; a man who is inferior to himself yet the inferior man can whin him in every start. Terry McGovern was a better all around fighter than Young Corbett But Corbett knocked Terry kicking both times. Jim Coffey was an infinite better man than Frank Moran yet Moran whipped, him in each start. Ring history records a hundred cases where great fighters went down to defeat before poorer men who somehow or other had their number. COULD NOT OVERCOME NELSON "Gans could whip every man I whipped about ten times faster than I did. He could have gone against some who gave me awful beatings or knocked them kicking in a round or two with one hand tied behind his back. But he couldn't get me. The records show that Gans won from me on a foul in Goldfield in 1966 in the forty-second round. But the real truth is that I knocked out Gans as fairly in that fight as I did on July 4, 1909 and also on September 9, 1909 when I gave him a return match. I ued the very same left body punch in 1906 when the referee disqualified me as I did in my winning fight three years later. But foxy little Joe got away with it in 1906 even though the wallop land so high up on the body. "Gans knew mroe about the science of fighting than all the men I met put together. He was a master ring man, skilled in every department of the game. His footwork was marvelous, his speed bowildering, his stock of tricks inexhaustible and he was game to the core. HIT WITH GREAT POWER. "And Gans could hit, oh, boy, how he could hit. He was fundamentally a boxer, but he packed power in eith er hand, that only one lightweight since I began has scipped. And the by whi...uld drive harder... Gans was Amelio Herrera, the Mexican who began knocking the boys cold in 1898 and faded from the ring ten years later. Herrera hit like a heavyweight. He was the greatest knock 'em dead artist the lightweight ranks ever produced. His record is one long list of knockouts. And practically all of them were scored with the pile driver right hand of his. I felt it once, and I never liked to think about it afterward. I gave Herreara a fight in 1904 in Butte, Mont., when the Mexican was at his best. Somewhere along in the second or third round he drew me into range and that right hander hit me on the forehead. I went over back wards, and in so doing my head crash against the floor with an awful bump. The crowd began leaving. It figured the fight was over, for no man that Herreara ever had dropped got back to his feet again before 'ten' was sounded over him. But I fooled 'em and heat the Mexican in the end. But was silent for a moment as his mind roamed back over the stormy fighting days of his spectacular youth. BOWSER—SMFCH —Mrs. Alma P. Moeshy announces the marriage of her sister Miss Alice E.

THE LYNCHING RECORD FOR FIRST 6 MONTHS 1919 Dear Sir—I send you the following information concerning lynchings for the first six months of this year. I find according to the records kept by the department of the Tuskegee Institute, Monroe N. Work in charge, that there have been in the first six months of 1915 28 lynchings. This is 7 less than the number 35 for the first six months of 1918 and 14 more than the number 14, for the first 6 months of 1917. Of those lynched 25 were Negroes and 3 were white. Seven of those put to death, were charged with the crime of rape. One woman is reported to have been lynched. The States in which lynchings occurred and the number for each State are as follows: Alabama 3; Arkansas 4; Florida 2; Georgia 3; Louisiana 4; Mississippi 7; Missouri 1; North Carolina 2; South Carolina 1; Texas 1; very truly, ROBERT R. MOTON. Principal. Jack Dempsey Credited with Knock ing Out Jess Willard in three Rounds Toledo, O., July 4. — Immediately on the close of today's bout between Wilard and Dempsey, an argument arose as to how many rounds it lasted and how it should be designated in the records as many wagers were made on the duration of the fight, hence the keen interest. The bout lasted three rounds and will be credited as a knockout for the victor in three rounds. The fourth round never was start ed and the gong never sounded for the fourth round. The towel was toss ed into the ring at least ten seconds before the time for the fourth round to begin. The same thing took place in New Orleans, when Peter Maher, who was fighting Fitz, refused to come out of his corner for the fourteenth round. Fitz is credited with knocking out Maher in thirteen rounds. SEVENTH ANNIVISARY OF THE NATIONAL IDEAL SOCIETY.

We had a very interesting paper read by Mr. Moredith Foster, subject, "France." Mrs. C. A. Cobbs made excellent remarks and Rev. Skipwish prayed the closing prayer after an outline of the lesson by the department superintendent. At 11:30 A. M. Rev. Skipwish preached an interesting sermon. The subject was, "A Watch." We were glad to have Brother Ernest Cooper of Camp Alexander, present, also a good many other friends. 3:30 P. M., Rev.

Negotiations, involving the formation of a circuit of colored thathes with Lester A. Walton as general manager, has just been completed, and the merger is generally regarded as the most important and far-reaching step ever taken in the history of theatricals wherein all concerned ware colored. The first significant move to establish a chain of colored houses taking in the principal cities of the North and South was made a few weeks ago when a syndicate headed by E. C. Brown, the colored banker of Philadelphia and Norfolk, took over the lease of the Lafayette Theatre at 131st street and Seventh avenue, New York and also assumed all outstanding contracts which the Quality Amusement Corporation had made with the Lafayette Players, the best known dramatic organization among colored people in the country. In Philadelphia a 1600 seat house, to be known as the Dunbar is being built at Broad and Lombard streets, just two blocks from the Shubert Theatre, by a company of which B. C. Brown is president; Lester A. Walton vice-president and Andrew F. Stevens, secretary and treasurer. The ground, building and equipment will cost $375,000. The Avenue Theatre, Chicago; Howard, Washington; Colonial, Baltimore and houses in Pittsburgh, Richmond Norfolk, Ciniinnati, Indianapolis and Louisville will be included in the circuit, and the syndicate expects to acquire the theatres in many of the large southern cities, notably New Orleans and Atlanta in the acr future. The promoters plan to organize and manage dramatic and musical companies for these colored houses aside from keeping in the field the four companies of Lafayette Players now working. The opening of a school of dramatic art in New York for young colored men and women has been decided upon, and a booking office to supply colored theatres through out the country with colored acts is planned. Lester A. Walton who for a number of years has been managing and dramatic editor of The New York Age, will in connection with his duties as general manager of the new circuit, also serve as manager of the Lafayette Theatre, where he will take full charge August 1. THE GRAND LODGE MEETS IN DANVILLE, VA. The Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias will convene in Danville, Va. July 15, 1919 at 9 A. M. and the Grand Court will convene in the same city 10 A. M. The sessions will be held in the High Street Baptist Church. The Richmond delegation has arranged to leave the Main St. Station at 3:45 P. M. Monday and will arrive in Danville at 9:45 P. M. Owing to the securing of certificates all persons going to Danville should be in the station not later than 3 P. M. in order to get seats in the special coaches arranged for the trip. The fare from Richmond to Danville is $4.56. The return rate will be one-third of this amount with the certificate, which must be secured from the ticket agent when the ticket is purchased to Danville, Va. This makes the round trip rate from Richmond to Danville $6.00. Mrs. Austin Passes Away Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Austin of 42 west 22nd St., South Richmond, Va., a well known citizen, passed beyond this "vale of tears" on last Wednesday, July 2nd, and profound regret is expressed throughout the community in which she had gained so many friends and acquaintances.

The pall-bearers were, honorary Mrs. Hattie Manning and Mrs. Mary Taylor. Active, Messrs. Frank Williams, Wm. Deane, C. H. Munford, Joseph Harris, Wesley Greene and Thomas Goode. The deceased leaves a husband, five daughters, two sons, eleven grand children, one sister and a host of friends to mourn their loss. The interment was made in Maury's cemetery.

Miss Rosa Lee James at Home. Miss Rosa Lee James returned to the city last Sunday evening from Brooklyn, N. Y., where she attended and graduated from the famous Pratt Institute in dressmaking, tailoring and millinery. Miss James is also a graduate of Hartshorn Memorial College of this city. While many inducements have been offered her to begin her business career in New York and also Philadelphia, Pa., her numerous friends are desirous of having her locate in this city. But as yet, she has not expressed her intention in this matter. However, we hope the desire of friends will prevail. MRS. RUBY L. LEWIS GRANTED ABSOLUTE DIVORCE. The Honorable Beverly T. Crump, Judge of the Law and Equity Court of the city of Richmond entered a decree in his court on the eighth day of July, 1919, granting an absolute divorce to Ruby L.

Enquiries were made, but no one seemed willing to assume responsibility for the meeting under the "degree of the mask," which indicated that those attending the meeting would come in a way that one would not know the other. Colored soldiers recently returned from overseas were deeply interested and they expressed themselves freely. The Planet was the subject of discussion at the meeting of the Baptist Ministers' Conference at the Second Baptist Church last Monday and a committee was appointed to wait on Editor John Mitchell, Jr, and request that he be present at eleven o'clock next Monday morning when the subject will be taken up for discussion with a view to taking some action in connection therewith. Rev, W. T. Johnson, D. D., pastor of the First Baptist Church, Rev. Z. D. Lewis, D. D., pastor of the Second Baptist Church, Rev. T. J. King, D. D., pastor of the Fifth Street Baptist Church and many others were outspoken in connection with the affair. VICTORY SOCIAL There will be given a Victory Social at Elks Home, 1026 N.

TWO THE PLANET DEMPSEY IS FIFTH HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION Is 18th Holder of American Title—Started His Boxing Career Only 4 Years Ago. When William Harrison "Jack" Dempsey the Modern Non parel, wrested the heavyweight crown from the giant Jess Willard in the sun baked ring at Toledo yesterday he became the eighteenth holder of the American title and the fifth world's heavyweight champion. Willard, like John L. Sullivan who after his defeat by Corbett toterted to the ropes in the New Orleans ring and raising one mighty paw adolf to command attention, patriotically de clared, "Gentlemen, the championship remains in America!" can retire safe is the knowledge that he was beaten by no foreigner and the title still is held by a sturdy son of Uncle Sam. With the exception of Tom Hyer, America's first titleholder in the heavyweight class, and John C. Heenan, the Benicia Boy, all the early champions were foreign born, coming either from England or Ireland, John L. Sullivan was the first native born citizen to hold title under Queensberry rules, Fitzsimmons was the only foreigner to take title under those rules. Jeffries was the first American heavyweight to hold the world's title He gained the coveted laurels by winning the American championship from Fitzsimmons after previously beating Peter Jackson holder of the English and Australian titles. BURNS FOLLOWED JEFFRIES Following Jeffries's retirement Tommy Burns captured the American championship by beating a majority of contenders, and then made himself the world's champion by stopping Gunner Moir, the British titleholder, and Bill Squires, the Australian champion. The world's title descended from Burns to Jeffries and from Jeffries to Johnson and from Johnson to Willard. It has been claimed in behalf of Sullivan that he was the champion of the world, but he never held that title. He won the American title from Paddy Ryan in 1882 and lost it to Corbett ten years later. Sullivan never fought but one foreign pugilist Charley Mitchell who was not at the time the English champion and in fact, never held the title. In any event Mitchell and Sullivan boxed a draw. At the time Sullivan was in his prime Peter Jackson was indisputably the heavyweight champion of England and Australia having stopped Jem Smith, English titleholder in 2 rounds and knocked out Frank Slavin Australian champion in ten rounds. Sullivan drew the color line against Jackson and therefore never engaged in a bout in which the world's championship was at stake. DEMPSEY 24 YEARS OLD Dempsey was born in Colorado twenty four years ago last month. According to his own statements a mixture of Irish, Scotch and Indian blood runs in his veins. Dempsey began his ring career in the early part of 1915. At that time he was working in the mines of Colorado where he developed his remarkably muscular physique. At first he did not take boxing very seriously as the returns were small and he had no idea that he ever would he fighting for the heavyweight championship of the world. Many of Dempsey's minor affairs in the ring have gone unrecorded. There is no record of his early battles until he met and knocked out King Hancock in one round. This success caused him to forsake the ranch and the mines for a career in the ring. Dempsey knew little or nothing about the art of boxing but he had a trick of hitting with crusading force and he was a fighter by nature. Most of his early battles he won quickly. He met his first reverse when he was outpointed in four rounds by Jack Downey a middleweight who was fairly well known in the west. In another battle with Downey Dempsey won with a knockout in 2 rounds after which he began to cover a wider field and to seek more ambiotic matches. His first opponent of more than local reputation was Joe Bonds a big fellow who had acted as punching bag for the well known lights of the ring. Dempsey outpointed him in ten rounds and then he decided to take a trip East. DEMSEY ARRIVES HERE. Dempsey arrived in New York with very little money in his pocket and that dwindled away before he could get any of the local matchmakers to listen to his pleas for action. He got his first chance to show in the big town one Saturday night at the Fairmont Club in the Bronx. Big Andre Anderson was one of the stars billed that night. It happened that Andre's opponent did not show up for some reason and Dempsey who was hanging around the club on the chance that he might get on in one of the preliminaries bogs ed Matchmaker Tom McCardle to put him on with the big follow. Dempsey explained that he was flat broke, had had nothing to eat all day and just naturally had to get a fight to keep from starving. As there was no one else on hand, McCardle took a chance with the stranger and sent him into the ring. At that time Dempsey was but a mere stripling. He did not weigh more than 170 pounds. He was totally untrained and half starved and he was facing a giant who had met many of the best men in the ring. While the crowd knew nothing about Dempsey those on the inside expected him to go out in a round or two. In the first round Dempsey was a mark for the more experienced Anderson. The big fellow jabbed him at will and with a right swing he cut a deep gash over Dempsey's left eye. Dempsey was battered all over the ring. He was covered with blood from head to foot and did not apear to have a Chinaman's chance. But somehow or other Dempsey managed to stall along. Knocked down time after time, he always strung to his feet before the count. In his efforts to end it Anderson be gan to grow arm weary. He slowed up considerably so that Dempsey's earnest but wild swings frequently found a resting place on the big fef low. The further the battle went the closing rounds he had the big the more Dempsey improved and in fellow holding on like a drowning man to escape being put to sleep. Dempsey had won on points after taking a beating that few men could have survived. GAMENESS EARNED FANS Dempsey's wonderful display of gameness earned him so much applause from the crowd that he was promptly matched with "Wild" Bert Kenney was as wild as his name implies and Dempsey knew but little more about boxing, but he was the better hitter of the two and he gained the popular verdict at the end of the ten rounds. After that Dempsey was matched with John Lester Johnson a big Negro who had had a world experience, Dempsey forced the fighting from start to finish, took a terrible beating, but still was going strong when the last bell sounded. It was a remarkable showing for a novice and there was a rush of local managers to sign the newcomer to a contract. John Reisler, the manager of the club obtained Dempsey's consent. But Dempsey soon became disgusted with his bargain and he left for the West without the formality of saying good by. In the early part of 1917 Dempsey was matched with the veteran Jim Flynn at Salt Lake City and was knocked out with practically the first blow Flynn let fly. However, those on the inside of this affair assert that all was not as it should have been in that bout. Some of those in a position to know what was going on now are predicting that Willard will win on July 4 and some are with Dempsey, but none hold the Flynn affair against the youngster in arguing the merits of the two from a purely fighting standpoint. BEGINS TO SHOW FORM It was shortly after this that Dempsey bean to show real form. He went out to the far coast and won a decision over Willie Mechan in four rounds. Then he knocked out Al Noron, a very clever light heavyweight in one round. Two weeks later he knocked out Charley Jess, a giant who had a draw with Jess Willard to his credit. The following week he outpointed Bob McAllister in four rounds. Dempsey's victory over McAllister who was as fast as a streak and a very clever defensive boxer, attracted a great deal of attention to the new wonder. It was evident that a novice who was fast enough to land on that will-o'the-wisp must have something out of the ordinary in his makeup. By this time Dempsey had cleaned up all the available talent on the Pacific coast so the promoters imported Gunboat Smith from the East. Smith proved to be a tough nut for the novice to crack but he won the decision after a hard battle. Carl Morris the Oklahoma giant, and the original white hope was brought on to tackle Dempsey and Morris also was well beaten in a four round bout. That ended the supply of heavyweights in California; so Dempsey came back to the East to capitalize the fame he had gained by his sensational victories. By this time Dempsey had acquired some knowledge of the fighting game. He did not follow any set rules, but had a style entirely his own. For the most part he relied upon his terrific hitting and seldom attempted to block. He acquired a trick of bobbing his head constantly so that it was a difficult target to hit and he no longer was forced to take punishment. After stopping off at Racine to knock out Homer Smith in one round Dempsey landed in Buffalo where he took on Carl Morris before the Queens berry A. C. which still was in full operation despite the repeal of the boxing law. This time Dempsey fairly smothered Morris. In the sixth round Morris tried to lose on a foul, but Dempsey refused to have the contest awarded to him in that way and he battered the big fellow until the referee was compelled to stop the slaughter. MEETS JIM FYLNN AGAIN. Then Dempsey took on Jim Flynn again and bowled him over in the first minute of the first round. Bill Brenan, one of the most promising heavies in the ring came next. He was outclassed by Dempsey, who knocked him down so that Brenan sprained his ankle and the fight was stopped in the sixth round. One punch apiece accounted for Bull Sadee and Tom Riley, but Dempsey's string of knockout victories was broken when he tackled Billy Miske in a ten round affair at St. Paul. Miske was a good boxer and he knew how to stall. By following Jab and grab tactics he held off Dempsey for the full ten rounds and earned an even break in the estimation of some critics, although the major THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA That Dempsey was improving rapidly is shown by his progress from that point on. In his next five encounters only one man was able to last through the first round. This was Dan Ketchell who was rocked to sleep in the second. The other victims were Arthur Pelky, Kid McCarty Bob Devere, Porky Flynn and Fred Fulton. The battle with Fulton was really the means of obtaining for Dempsey the present match for the champion ship. Fulton was looked upon as the logical opponent for the title holder at that time. The tall plastered had stopped Frank Moran with the great est of ease, so something that Willard could not do. If he had defeated Dempsey he would have removed the last obstacle from his path, for Fulton had beaten every other heavy weight of prominence. However, Fulton proved to be as easy for Dempsey as any of the set ups he had been bowling over. The tall plasterer was frightened so badly that his muscles refused to respond to his will and before he could gain control of his shaky nerves Dempsey stepped in with a series of short hooks and knocked him cold. MEETS SETBACK ON COAST. Out on the coast Dempsey met with a setback when he tackled Wilie Mechan in a bout that was staged for charity, Mechan was awarded the decision at the end of four rounds although Dempsey had knocked him down and had done all the real damage. Returning East Dempsey stopped Battleting Levinsky in three rounds, Porky Flynn in one round and then outpointed Billy Miske in six rounds Miske was outclassed by Dempsey but by holding on he managed to stick the full route. He was very weak at the end and it is probable that another er round would have seen his finish. Dempsey's last ring battle prior to yesterday took place at New Orleans where he stopped Carl Morrys in the first round of a bout scheduled for twenty. Morris probably never had any idea of winning the fight, as his previous attempts had demon strated to him that he was outclass so he lost no time in taking to the floor. MR. WILSON'S APPEAL AGAINST MOB RULE AND WHAT CAME OF IT. One year ago this month President Wilson issued a statement, addressed to his fellow countrymen, on the subject of mob spirit and mob action. In this he declared that "every American who takes part in the act of a mob or gives any sort of countenance is no true son of this great democracy, but its betrayer." Mr. Wilson did not mention particularly the lynching of Negroes in the South but that he had this evil in mind appeared certain from the wording of one paragraph of his address; "I therefore very earnestly and solemnly beg that the Governors of all the states, the law officers of every community and above all the men and women of every community in the United States all who revere America and wish to keep her name without stain or reproach, will cooperate not passively merely, but actively and watchfully—to make an end of this disgraceful evil. It can not live where the community does not countenance it." The Sun, which has not begrudged its approval to the President when ever he has acted or spoken for the good of the United States, declared on the occasion of this particular statement that every word uttered by Mr. Wilson in condemnation of mob law was "sound, true and beyond controversy." And we were not without hope that the section which has appeared to be so devoted to Mr. Wilson and which has received from him and his Congresses such vast substantial benefit would hearken to the obvious truths the President spoke. What has been the result? We shall not compile a list of the lynchings that have occurred in the United States since the President made his solemn protest on July 26, 1918 but offer instead a brief chronological statement of the worst horrors that have occurred in the first six months of the present year; not ordinary lynchings, but illegal executions of Negroes in which the mob was not content with rope or bullet but in sisted upon stake and torch: January 20—Bragg Williams, who had been convicted of the murder of a woman and her child and had been sentenced to be hanged on February 21, was taken from the jail at Hillsboro, Tex., and burned alive in the presence of 300 persons. March 4—Judge Johnson charged with attacking a white woman was taken from Sheriff and burned at the stake in Castleberry, Fla. On that date President Wilson made an address in this city expressing his amazement that among the critics of his covenant there should be such "a comprehensive ignorance of the state of the world." May 2—Benny Richards, accused of killing his divorced wife and wounding four white men was hanged and shot to death and his body brought to Warrenton, Ga., and burned in the presence of 300 persons. May 14—Lloyd Clay, charged with criminal assault, was burned alive in the city of Vicksburg, Miss., by a mob of 1,000 persons. May 21—Frank Livingston accused of killing his employer and his employer's wife was tied to a tree and burned to death by a mob of 150 whites and Negroes at El Dorado, Ark. June 26—John Hartfield, charged with criminal assault, was hanged, shot and burned to death at Ellisville Miss. So in six months there have been six declarations, expressed in the most barbaric form, of the contempt felt in Southern communities for the law and incidentally for the sincerely appeal made by Mr. Wilson less than a year ago. Five state have been the offenders, the State with two black marks being Mississippi whose Governor less than a week ago expressed his utter helplessness or unwillingness even to attempt to keep his oath of office in the face of the mob of lynchera What is the reason? Did the President's appeal fall upon deaf cars in those States which pretend to admire him? Or did the people of the lynching States assume that reverence for the law was a war time virtue, like the saving of food, to be abandoned after the armistice?

But the mischief is—that the blindness of bigotry, the madness of ambition, and the miscalculations of diplomacy, seek their victims principally amongst the innocent and the unoffending. The cottage is sure to suffer for every error of the court, the cabinet, or the camp. When error sits in the seat of power and of authority and is generated in high places, it may be compared to the torrent which originates indeed in the mountain, but commits its devastation in the vale.—Colton. In the July issue of the New York Crisis, Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, that able journalist, scholar, political economist and socialist "returns to his muttton," to speak. He proceeds to give Hon. Emmett J. Scott "a Roland for his Oliver." The article is shrewdly worded, placing the redoubtable scholar in the lime-light by citing from official documents relative to his trip abroad and showing that Dr. Du Bois appeared over there as the champion, of the badly treated black men in the United States Army, bringing upon himself the opprobrium of those white men higher in authority, while Scott was nestled close to the Secretary of War and his advisors and that the aforesaid Scott suppressed these facts instead of exposing them. But why should we explain these matters, when Dr. DuBois' own language speaks for itself? He says: We fought and worked on the Western Front, 200,000 strong under a thousand black officers; we helped to crush the most serious obstacle to the modern democratic movement since Napoleon Bonaparte; we gained the sympathy and respect of France and the civilized world—and what is more important, we gained a new self respect and a new consciousness of power. Despite all this great success, we made one serious blunder and lest in the future we repeat this mistake, let us look it now full in the face and seek to understand it; During the draft and the period of cantonment training the whole concience and intelligence of the race stood on the firing line; we relentlessly discovered exposed and fought discrimination. We did not wholly re move it, but we did overcome much and above all we knew the essential facts. We suffered with open eyes. Those opening lines read "mighty good," but they are only the prelude to the limbering up of heavy artillery. He proceeds with his recital as follows: Mr. Emmett J. Scott as Special Assistant to the Secretary of War, he became gradually our mouthpiece for complaint and intermediary for redress. It was difficult work. Considering the discriminations of the draft law, the prejudice of the South and North and the Espionage Act, Mr. Scott seemed to be doing as well as any one could expect under the circumstances. The Crisis noted this, gave him every public and private aid and thanked him for his efforts. Mr. Scott several times expressed similar apreciation and once wrote the editor on the occasion of the proposed special bureau in the War Department, This is scant praise and it is not all that Mr. Scott will get in that insidious attack that this learned writer has staged against one of the most diplomatic race leaders in the country. Pope's remark: "Damn with faint praise," seems to apply in this case. He quotes and reproduces a letter from Mr. Scott endorsing and approving Dr. Du Bois's celebrated advice to the colored people of this country in that he advised them to wait until the war was over before pressing their claims for absolute justice in this country for citizens of color. This only went to show that both Scott and DuBois were of one mind. Certainly in giving such advice, Hon. Emmett J. Scott was consistent, while Dr. W. E. B. DuBois was in consistent. The two had hitherto represented opposite schools of thought. Thousands of colored people, who did not agree with the late Dr. Booker T. Washington and his followers had enlisted under the DuBois banner for this very reason. As a result of this "turn-coat" business, this class of people were left virtually without a leader and they are cherish ing bitter feeling towards this distinguished historian and scholar to this day. But, it may be that we are saying too much. Let us quote further from Dr. DuBois relative to this matter. He says: On December 1, the editor of The Crisis went to France. Within a month after landing he was utterly amazed and dumbfounded at the revelations poured upon him. He heard of conditions, acts, conspiracies, wholesale oppression and cruelty of which he had no previous inkling. He had not expect to find that the black soldiers had been altogether happy. War is war. The soldier, black or white must endure cold and heat, rain and mud, hunger and hurt. More over the editor knew that the colored soldier in addition to all this would feel the sting of prejudice and discrimination. But the editor of The Crisis and we are persuaded, not one other American Negro in a million knew or dreamed of conditions like this: 1. Wholesale dismissal and transfer of Negro officers regardless of merit. 3. Open reiteration, of unfounded charges of cowardice and infamous crime. 4. Deliberate attempts to discourage morale, withhold equipment and put unequipped units into battle. 5. Mistreating, overworking and almost enslaving many of the steve dore laborers. 6. Dismissing and demoting white officers who refused to join the anti-Negro campaign. 7. Organizing one of the bitterest and most stinging campaigns of per sonal affront and insult ever attempted in a civilized land against civiliz of people. For four long months story after story and document after document poured into the editor's hands substantiating the above charges. For four months the editor was helpless. Every step he took was heralded by the Intelligence Service of the Ameri can Expeditionary Force as follows: Headquarters, Ninety-Second Division, American Expeditionary Forces, A. P. O., 766 1 January, 1919 SECRET. EMO: To Intelligence Officers 10 Intelligence Officers 1. A man by name of D.Bois, with visitor's pass, reported on his way to visit this Division. His presence at station of any unit will be immediately reported in secret, enclosure to Assistant Chief of Staff G.2, these headquarters. Likewise prompt report will be made to G-2 of all his moves and actions, while at station of any unit. 2. The fact of this inquiry as to Dr Bois and his moves will not be disclosed to any person outside the Intelligence Service. By command of Brigadier-General ERWIN F. P. SCHOONMAKER, Major, General Staff, A. C. of S. G-2. We do not see why Dr. DuBols should have presumed that fair treatment would be accorded colored soldiers when they were in charge of a Department of the Government known to have not only racial antipathy to the Negroes, but towards the Jews. They practiced their deviltry upon Lieutenant Flipper a decade ago and found a way to officially proclaim that Lieutenant Whittaker cut his own cars from his own head. They declared Col. Charles Young to be unfit for service, disabled and suffering from diseases of which he did not know, although he could ride forty miles on horseback and could "cut a pigeon's wing" to the 'queen's taste" had he felt so inclined. But Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, to our astonishment admits that he signed a pledge not to communicate to this country the distressing facts that came under his observation. Is he not aware that Hon. Emmett J. Scott was compelled to observe a pledge even more drastic than the one that he signed? How else could he have held the position as Special Assistant to the Secretary of War? Secrecy is the watch-word in that Department. It appears to us that Dr. DuBois is blaming Mr. Scott for doing the very thing that he (DuBois) was compelled to do. Bringing the matter home to ourselves, this is why we have never held public office and it is why we have not connected ourselves with many of the organizations that are now in existence. We want the right of free speech and the right to criticise and advise in matters pertaining to a race with which we are identified. Let us presume for a moment that Dr. DuBois had been appointed a captain in the regular army, commonly known as a "desk captain," would he have dared to have edited the matter that is now appearing in the New York Crisis? In view of the pledge that he admitted that he signed when he was not a desk captain, we feel confident that he would have been as coooingly silent as the distinguished race leader who has had an office adjacent to the one occupied by the distinguished Secretary of War. Speaking of himself in the third person, DuBois says: He was compelled to sign the following pledge as to his correspondence with America: "To avoid criticism of all Allied Forces; to avoid any observation tending to aid the enemy or to injure morale of the Allies, and not to pub THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA lish any written statements, or give out any interviews, except through the censorship of the Intelligence Section of the General Staff." He landed in America, March 31 and in the ensuing issue of The Cris is he felt it his duty to ask Mr. Scott our special representative in the War Department three simple questions of fact. Those three simple questions of fact have aroused all of this furor and have caused no end of trouble. No one doubts but what Emmett J. Scott knew about these conditions and a great deal more than he will ever dare give to the public. If W. E. B. Dubois signed a pledge in France, not to communicate to this country what he saw there, how could Emmett J. Scott communicate to the public what he knew here? There was only one way out and that was through the door of resignation. Even had he resigned, he dared not disclose what he knew when he held office. Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, as a captain would have had official lock-jaw up to this time and certainly he knows it. There is one confirmation in the Scott letter that Dr. DuBois has reproduced and that is that it shows that Emmett J. Scott did advocate and favor the appointment of Dr. DuBois to a captaincy in the regular army. It looked to us like a trap, in to which the able scholar walked. Certainly, it has marred his career in no small degree and it has estranged an army of people who formerly admired and praised him. Here is more of the same kind of information. The Crisis dislikes and avoids per personal controversy. The Crisis knows that it is easier to criticise than to do. The Crisis is eager to give Mr. Scott every credit due and to make every allowance for the singular difficulty of his position. But the Crisis in its position as public mentor and adviser and newspaper absolutely refuses to be turned one moment from its determination to know why it was that in this the most critical period of the existence of the Negro race, 200,000 of the best blood of our young manhood—men who offered their lives for their people and their country could be crucified, insulted, degraded and maltreated while their fathers, mothers, sisters and brothers had no adequate knowledge of the real truth. What good would it have done these fathers, mothers, sisters and brothers to have known the truth, when there was not help and citizens here were being denied the fundament al rights guaranteed under the Constitution of the United States? We, who were in this country were not permitted to speak above a whisper. The press was silenced and many a man is in the penitentiary today, who is as guiltless of any crime as the dripping snow. Did Mr. Scott conceal fatal knowledge? Had he given out the information, would he have saved human life? Could he have mitigated or improved conditions by giving the facts to the country, when there was not a newspaper in the land that would have dared to have given space to his disclosures or a mail-carrier, white or colored, who would have dared to knowingly transit this information even in the mails? The same rule of conduct that prevailed inside of the American lines in France operated outside of the American lines in this country. Dr. DuBois continues: It is not simply a question of what Mr. Scott personally could or could not accomplish—God knows we are all of us helpless enough in this bitter fight—it is the vaster question of the right of concealing fatal knowledge; if Mr. Scott could do nothing, how did he know that others were equally helpless? How did he know that all of us together would be equal to helpless? Again we ask the question, did Mr. Scott conceal fatal knowledge? That is, did he conceal facts that would if known have averted the execution of a human being? If he did, then Dr. DuBois is correct in his conclusions. Dr. DuBois tells him what he could have done. Here it is: Why could he not have reassembled the editor's conference or even some larger meeting of influential men and said to them in confidence: "Hell is loose in France, and our boys are dying in soul and body—what can be done?" If he could not act publicly could he not have passed the word quietly to his friends? Was his only recourse silence and the repeated assurance to inquiry that everything was going well? Suppose we discovered that some colored official was concealing the knowledge of lynchings on the ground that he could not stop them; shall we not try the power of every one—the vast, combined power of all he fore we surrender? No concealment is ever a cure for crime. Did Mr. Scott's position depend on his not revealing the desperate conditions in France? We do not be fieve it. We believe that Secretary Baker would have halted the anti-Negro campaign had he known its lengths. We believe that the colored press, even with the limitations of the Espionage Law could have worked up public opinion that would have brought Greer and his comperes home; and even granted that also lately nothing could have been done we ought at least to have known the truth. These meetings of those of a simi Mme Rose's Hy-Quality HAIR GROWER A matchless Scalp Care!

Hon. Emmett J. Scott in particular and other higher officials in general received a veritable "ox roast." It did not halt the anti-Negro campaign. So what is alleged Mr. Scott did not do was done by others, but it was done. In this connection, it would be well to mention William Monroe Trotter, Mrs. Ida Wells Barnett, Rev. W. H. Jernigan, Rev. A. G. Powell; Rev. J. Milton Waldron, Dr. E. W. Moore and a host of others, all doing exactly what. Dr. DuLois says should have been done What matters it whether it was done by the one or by the other so long as it was done? On the other hand Dr. W. E. B. DuBois was on record as having recommended in the New York Crisis that we let our wrongs and our grievances wait, until after the war was over. By what scheme of reasoning, can he now lam bast Scott for doing the very thing that he had advised him and others to do? Our esteemed literary friend proceeds to give even Hon. Ralph W. Tyler a parting shot for concerning him he says: The sending of Ralph Tyler finally as newspaper correspondent was an excellent move but it came too late and, indeed unless Mr. Tyler had special facilities accorded him, he could send nothing essential past the censor. He had no special facilities and he sent nothing. But that was not all. Despite the fact that Mr. Tyler had the same opportunities as the editor of the Crisis to learn the truth, he has since his return published practically "nothing" and revealed no essential fact. Mr. Tyler, was sent like most of the others were sent, handicapped from the start. Only those who stayed on this side of the Atlantic in their own right or went over there untrammeled like Editor William Monroe Trotter are in a position to speak. In view of their restrictions and promises, they would violate solemn obligations, so to do. The New York Crisis concludes: The Crisis therefore, leaves the matter precisely in the position that it was before: 1. Did Mr Scott know the treatment which black troops were receiving in France? 2. If Mr. Scott did not know, why did he not find out? 3. If he did know, what did he do about it? We do not believe that there is any doubt, out what Hon. Emmett J. Scott had been informed of conditions as they existed in France and in this country. The question is what could he do and what did he do about it? His duties were to receive complaints and to forward those deserving of consideration to the proper authorities for a rectification of conditions and a remedying of evils alleged to exist as affecting colored men in the army. If he did not do this he is blamable. If he'd do this, then he did all that could be expected of him to do. The only one who can answer this question with accuracy and certainty is Secretary of War Baker. Why not apply to him for information upon this subject? To our mind, it seems that the gun of the distinguished scholar and journalist should be leveled up on the white officers guilty of having degraded, enslaved and persecuted colored men in the army and that the making of a scapegoat of Scott is only making it impossible to secure punishment of those responsible for the outrages. While DuBois and Scott are fighting each other, the Negro haters in the War Department are laughingly making their escape from criticism or deserved punishment. We have never favored the Booker T. Washington school of thought, of which the Hon. Emmett J. Scott is the representative. It favors too much of cringing, of moving along the lines of the least resistance, of "bending the supple hinges of the knee, that favor follow fawning." We have been impressed with that school of thought, advocated by Dr. W. E. DR.

Let him call off this attack upon Brigadier General Erwin and who re Scott and file his charges before the ferred to Dr. DuBois as "A man Du proper committee in the Congress and Bois" will take notice and will be with the Government officials at Wash B. DuBois the late Bishop Alexander Walters, Editor J. R. Clifford, Hon. H. C. Smith and William Monroe Trotter. But we have not in recent years affiliated with any of these organizations preferring to be in dependent and to be in a position where we could speak without fear or favor. We believe in fair play, and it is for this reason that we do not see our way clear to approve of the action of Dr. W. E. B. DuBois in attacking one of the most popular race leaders in the country, who has done what he could to ameliorate the conditions of our people in the army and outside of it. He was placed in a veritable "strait-jacket" in the War Department and made the buffer for the complaints of the colored people. We would not have accepted the position at ten thousand dollars per year and yet he came out of the job a poorer if not a wiser man. If he wishes to write a history of the war in order to secure a lifetime competency to support himself and family, let him do it without any criticism. If Dr. W. E. B. DuBois wishes to do the same thing, let him do it. We would like to see them both worth a quarter of a million dollars before death. They are entitled to it and let them have it but what is the use of the one "cutting the throat" of the other while our enemies look on with evident amusement and satisfaction. Dr. W. E. B. DuBois has evidence of the treatment of the colored soldiers in the army. What is he doing with this evidence other than publishing it in the New York Crisis and using it as a battering ram to destroy Scott, who according to his own evidence did all that he could for him? Approach thou like the rugged Russian bear, The arm'd rhinoceros or the Hyr cian tiger; Take any shape but that, and my firm nerves. They are now beginning the unheard of proceeding of trying the head of a State for the offenses committed during times of war. This will give Dr. DuBois the opportunity he desires. American officers in Europe under this ruling will be liable for crimes committed upon their own soldiers during the time of the same struggle. Will Dr. DuBois collect and put in legal form the facts that he has gathered which he says is constituted as follows: "But the Crisis in its position as public mentor and adviser and news paper absolutely refuses to be turned one moment from its determination to know why it was that in this the most critical period of the existence of the Negro race, 200,000 of the best blood of our young man hood—men who offered their lives for their people and their country could be crucified, insulted, degraded and maltreated while their fathers, mothers, sisters, and brothers had no adequate knowledge of the real truth. Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, Hon. Emmett J. Scott is not guilty of any of these charges. White army officers are chargeable with these offenses and the only way to reach these regular army officers is through the regular channels of the court martial. You might do it too through the request for an official investigation in the Congress. Has he done this or does he propose to do it? God knows we regret this unfortunate controversy. W. E. B. DuBois stands head and shoulders in many respects above any other race leader in the country. This petty business of attacking one of his fellows cannot do him any material good and it may do Emmett J. Scott much material harm. Certainly, it will tend to divide our people, who should at this time, above all others be united. SPRING TIME OF YOUTH Mme.
