VOLUME XXXVI, NUMBER 382 RACI RIC IN CHIC Danger Zones ed by Tre Adjustant General Declares Temper of People Grave Before Conference With Mayor That Results in Ordering Soldiers on Patrol. Woman Shoots Negro—Whites Burn a Home—Fierce at Four Times, Says Alderman "Influence" Fires Rioters, Is Charge (By the Associated Press.) Chicago, July 30: The State troops were ordered from the armories tonight to various points regarded as dangerous centers. The request for the troops was made to Adjutant General Dickson by Mayor Thompson to control the riots. RIOTING RENEWED. While the troops were preparing to march from the armories a riot broke out at Fiftieth and State Stirs, Many men, Negro and white clashed, firing countless shots, the police report said. Police reserves were hurried to the scene. Officials of the New York Central Railroad reported to the police to night that in the Negro district the blacks were wiring on all passenger trains. About the same time the police received word that rioting was in progress at Thirty first and Dear born streets near the heart of the black belt. The decision to use troops to patrol the dangerous parts of the trous ble zone was taken tonight as a pre cautionary measure after Adjutant General Dickson had made a round of the south side Negro district and its environments. He said the situation was more serious than 24 hours before. MARTIAL LAW NOT NECESSARY It was not deemed necessary at the time the mayor asked for the troops to proclaim martial law which he Governor Lowden was prepared to take that step was not made known. It seemed to be generally believed that placing the militiamen on patrol duty would prevent further serious rioting. "From what I have seen this after noon and evening I should judge the situation and temperament of the people is more serious than it was at this time the night before," said the adjutant general as he started for the meeting with the mayor. With four deaths and a score of persons wounded or beaten in continued rioting today between whites and Negroes, police tonight were drawn a tight cordon about the south side Negro area and other lying sections where Negroes are segregated in the hope of averting further clashes. Today's outbreaks were widely scattered. Of the four deaths all of which were the result of shooting, two were shot today, the other two having been wounded in the rioting of Monday and Tuesday nights. Tonight the official death list for four days showed 30, of whom 17 were Negroes two unidentified and 13 whites, one unidentified. Governor Lowden continued today to devote his time almost exclusively to the riots as did Frank S. Dickson adjutant general of Illinois and they were joined today by Attorney General J. Brundage and Leut. Governor John G. Orlesby. - MANY REQUESTS FOR TRROOPS. Requests for the use of the troops came today from a number of sources. A number of aldermen were positive in their convictions at an informal meeting in the city hall today that the troops should patrol the streets at once. One alderman said he had been shot at four times on the South Side. Some of the aldermen advocated passage of a resolution to go over the head of Mayor Thompson and ask the governor for military rule but others opposed it. Later, some of the addermen sought out Adjutant Dickson to tell him their views. Negro leaders generally seemed to want the troops used. One Negro banker declared that many Negroes were afraid to leave the Negro quarter and were on the verge of starvation. Prominent whites, however, opposed the use of troops and believed the police could stem the tide of racial feeling and that normal quiet gradually would return. NEGRO'S HOUSE IS BURNED. Attorney Glen. Brandage upon his arrival from Michigan where he cut short a vacation assigned an assistant, John F. Burns to the coroner's office to sift the evidence to be produced at inquests. Mr. Brundage. Tom Bird's Birthday Tuesday, August 5, 1919 is the 72nd anniversary of the birth of Tom Bird (Blind Tom) a remarkable character, and well known paper carrier of this city. To him the day is one of great expectancy as he is always remembered by the old and young, rich and poor, regardless of race or color. A recent illness left him somewhat feeble and though not as active as in former years, he cherishes the hope of being able to meet his many patrons on that day. La Memoriam. HOLMES—In sad, but loving remembrance of my dear son, John Holmes, who fell asleep in Jesus, six months ago, August 2, 1919: We cannot, Lord, Thy purpose see. But all is sweet that is done by Thee: To part was hard, we will not complain; But trust in God to meet again. 1 did not know the pain he bore, 1 did not see him die. 1 only know he passed away, And could not say good-bye.

EDITOR MITCHELL'S TRAVELS The Trip to Danville — A Blow out and a Puncture Suprised Farmers — Tauk Empty — That Mountain Bond — Silkery Red Clay — A Remarkable Experience. Due to the persuasion of my good friend, George W. Rison, I decided to send or take the Stanley Steamer to Danville, Va., where the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias would convene. Tuesday, July 15, 1919 with myself in the chair, Knowing the erotic tendencies and happenings of an automobile, whatever its kind and name, I decided to start carly and to go myself. Robinson Davis, who was to run the car wanted to go Saturday, before any of us were ready and he was barely ready to go himself, after he and all the rest of us were ready. THOSE TEN GALLEYS I decided he must set ten galleys of Planet matter before that particular "train" would leave the station. At leaving time, he reported eight galleys and all corrected but there was "nothing doing." He finally set ten galleys. John R. Cogbill had found out that it would be a full moon night, but I would not leave until the moon was up. I would not take any chances with that powerful car in the night-time. It was after 2 A. M., we crossed the bridge over James River and left for Petersburg, Va., by the Broad Rock Road. The air was coct. Robinson was engineer and Harry Hubbard the fireman. THE EARLY MORNING There was nothing to disturb the pleasure of that ride in the early morning. The suit cases occupied the places usually held by two passengers and the seven passenger car carried only four including the chauffeur and his assistant. Arriving in Petersburg the night watchman at the garage on Halifax Street supplied us with water and commented upon the steam car. Those kind were seldom seen in the city, he said. THROUGH SOUTH HILL. We left for South Hill, passing the Central Hospital, Dinwiddie and other places. The streaks of a gray dawn was seen on the horizon. Soon thereafter upon stopping at a convenient road side pump, Robinson dis covered that the rear rear tire was not fully inflated. A nail had penetrated the easing and with this came a slow leak. It took but a short while to transfer the spare wheel on the rear to the place and we went on. A LOUD EXPLOSION We were going at a lively pace when there was a explosion. It was a blow out of the rear right tire. This meant delay and much work for we had already used the spare tire. So the inner tube was inserted in the wheel on the rear. It was about an hour before we were ready to travel again. Cogbill picked black berries and I did the same thing while the others worked. WHITE MEN INTERESTED. White men gathered around the strange car. It was to them a curious ty as amusing and as interesting as Bermum's "What is it." At last we were ready and we resumed our journey to South Hill. We had expected to reach Danville that morning but delay followed delay from one cause to another. The rubber hose connection with which Robinson syphoned water in the steam car's tank was interesting to everyone. SUCKING WATER It was dropped in a trough on stream and a turn of the valve caused it to draw water into the water tank of the car in little or no time. We reached Chase City. Here we took water. I saw a little boy not more than twelve years of age at a village arm. In the store was a typical country store keeper, large and portly. He carried his eyeglasses over his right car. He could always find them there. LOST A RIGHT ARM The little white boy inspected the Stanley. He said he had lost his arm last Fall. He was out in the woods hunting and in jumping from a stump, the um went off and he was without a right arm as the result of it. There were ten children in the family and nine of them were girls. So it was that the only boy had been TIME IS SLEEPING--KEEP POSTED mutilated and the family was thankful that his life had been saved. His father's name was Mr. Orman. MANY AT THE COUNT HOUSE We were soon at Clover and then we reached Houston, where I met many persons whom I knew included Mr. J. H. Martin's son and finally Mr. Martin. There were many white people on the Court House green. The Stanley Steam car was the object of attention. When the car obged and the hood was raised there was a craning of necks to see this strange machine that burned kerosene and made hardy any noise, "Take the mountain road" was the instruction. We took it and found it to be everything but what we had expected. THE PILOT LIGHT The Stanley had been steaming all right. There was not inch of power, but the pilot light would give Robinson much trouble. We lost touch time this way and it was after 3 o'clock. Finally, I took charge of it whenever it lagged and I succeeded well much to Robinson's satisfaction. We had gotten to the roughest stretch in the road when, do what I could, I could not get the pilot to burn. (TO BE CONTINUED.) PUBLIC INSTALLATION. Knights of Pythias and Courts of Gaudete to Have Exercises. Installation Exercises of the officers of the various Courts and Lodges of Richmond, will be held at the Sharon Baptist Church, First and Leigh Streets, Monday night, August 4, 1919, at 9:00 o'clock. The public is invited. --- The National Council of Defense My Dear Sir—The Virginia War History Commission has assigned to the Committee on War Letters, biaries, and Incidents the duty of collecting clippings from the newspapers of the State of articles showing the participation of Virginians in the war, both these in active service and those at home who helped in any way in war work behind the lines. In each county and city in the State there has been or there will be appointed a representative of the local chapter of the commission in that county or city to make these clippings, but the period to be covered by the local representatives extends only from the beginning of the war to the present time and it is recognized that probably for many month to come there will continue to appear in the newspapers material of value to the commission. As cordially I have been requested by the chairman of the commission to ask the editor of each paper as the state to send me regularly a copy of each number of his publications so that I may have it gone over at the Virginia State Library and the desired articles clipped. The suggestion has been made, and it appears to me to be an admissible one, that each newspaper in the State should start a column for the publication of communications written ten by soldiers on the subject of their experiences in the war and their opinions as to the conduct of the war in every phase and as to the various problems arising out of the war. Such a column would be bound to be of very great local interest and would probably add to the circulation of the paper to such an extent as to repay outlay involved but that aside the maintenance of the column would be a patriotic service of tremendous value. The main object of the War History Commission is to secure an accurate roll of the Virginians serving in the war and a full account of what they did, with their views on all matters connected with the war. Many of our men did not write fully during the war, being deterred probably by the knowledge that their letters would be censored. Now, however, the censor is no longer to be reckoned with, and the superior officer is no longer to be feared. Hence we might expect in these communications a great amount of interesting and valuable information and can did criticism. Such column conducted in every one Virginia paper would be of apreciable aid to the Virginia War History Commission. If the plan were adopted by all the help would be inestimable. Do you not think that you can start such a column in your paper? It might well be called the Virginia War History Column. Please direct the copy of your per which I assume that you are oing to send as follows: H. R. The Iwaine. Chairman of the Committee on War Letters. Diaries and Indents, Virginia State Library, Richmond, Va. Very truly yours, H. R.

Soon thereafter upon stopping at a conven jent road side pump, Robinson dis covered that the left’ rear tire was not fully inflated. A nail had pene: trated the casing and with this came a slow leak. It took but a short while to transfer the spare wheel on the rear to the place and we went on. A LOUD EXPLOSION. - ‘Wo were going at a lively pace when there was a explosion. It was a blow out of the rear right tire. ‘This meant delay and much work for we had already used the spare tire. So the inner tube was inserted in the wheel on the'vear. It was about an hour before we were ready to travel again. Cogbill picked black berries and T did the same thing while the others worked. a WHITE MPN INTERESTED.

When you awake with some sweet smile Thru all that day let nothing rile Your temper such as blues or bile; Keep smiling on. And joyful be from dawn to dawn. When you down to your business go And find things moving mighty slow And very little profits show, Don't lose your grit; Keep up your courage; do not quit. If you your pocketbook should lose Be careful that you do not use Profane and wicked words profuse, That's so improper And will not bring you back one copper. If you fall down and scrape the skim From off your forehead, nose or chin Stillkeep yourself upright within; That's no bad wreck; Thank God you did not break your neck. Yea tho all things go wrong with you. And all the world is looking blue, Do not surrender, that won't do; Go on your way. There's sure to come a brighter day But in this world you'll never see Things fixed like you would have them be On this side of eternity;— Expect it not. Nor let this sad fact be forgot. —ROBERT DANGERFIELD CRAWLEY (July, 1919.) It is a bold thing and a fine thin and a loyal thing that our neighbor the World does when it states to its Democratic readers in the South the exact truth about the responsibility for the race riots that have been disgraging the nation's capital city. We reprint with admiration, these fearless words: "One of the most brutal forms of oppression is the punishment of a whole race for the crimes of individuals. For many years this has been and it still is the practice in American States that do not recognize the citizenship of the Negro. "Deplorable as all this lawlessness is, the response of the black man to the white man was bound to come some time. The Negro has long been free. He has acquired some education and property. He has made a place for himself in industry. The laws under which he lives guarantee him equality. He escapes no re sponsibility that rests upon the white man. Yet in large sections of the Union when riot is afoot he is stripped of every right and driven either into hiding or violence. "Is there anybody in the South or elsewhere who imagine that the compulsory service of 360,000 Negroes in the United States Army, in many instances so creditably as to win high commendation, has had no influence upon them or the mass of their people at home? Who is foolish enough to assume that with 239,000 colored men in uniform from the Southern States alone, as against $36,000 white men the blacks whose manhood and patriotism were thus recognized and tested are forever to be flogged, lynched, burned at the stake or chased into concealment whenever Caucasian desperadoes are moved to engage in these infamous pastimes? "We grieve over the hardships of many subject peoples a long way off and on accession manifest something like indignation, but in all the world there is hardly a population so God forsaken and law-forsaken as our own blacks. Whether it is agreeable or not, therefore the Washington outbreak is a warning to all Americans that their race wars hereafter are going to be race wars. The Negro citizen is going to have his day in court. It ought not to be necessary for him to fight for it." The truth of this utterance suggests some underlying truths. For about half a century the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution have been nullified in the Southern States by means of the well known expedients practised in that section in order to keep the Negro from the polls and to deprive him of the political equality which those amendments were designed to secure. The Negro's "citizenship" in that quarter has been made a mockery. The World describes accurately his present status under the evaded and nullified laws of his, country when it refers to his people as "our own subject race." That is not the whole story of law lessness and wrong. The Fourteenth Amendment expressly provides that when male citizens are deprived in any States of the right to vote for Presidential electors or Representatives in Congress "the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty one years" of age in such State." This penalty of reduced potency in Presidential and Congress elections was intended to deter the white in habitants of the Southern States from doing that which they have openly, notoriously and defiantly done to the subject race for fifty years or there about. It has been and still is as much of a dead letter as the political equality of which the subject race has been deprived. The Southern States in contempt of the Constitution in the matter of the Negro's vote have continued to enjoy in Congress and in the Presidential elections a representation based on the falsehood that every Negro entitled by the amendments to vote was in fact exercising his right of suffrage. The defiant States ought to be punished and the fundamental law declares that they shall be punished; but they have gone scot free. The entire Democratic party, with too lenient a toleration on the Republican side has persistently blinked the situation and ignored the plain requirement of the Fourteenth Amendment. From time to time the outrage has been exhibited but it has never been stopped. The shame exists today. One more step in this crude review of the process of cause and effect suggested by the admirable can-do of the leading Democrat paper's discussion of the political status of our subject race: The immediate profiters by the denial of the Negro's constitutional right to vote for members of Congress have been the Southern politicians. Their deliberately contrived and definiately executed abridgment of the Negro's constitutional rights and their inveterate avoidance of the penalty prescribed by the Constitution have been mainly if not exclusively the source of such political domination as they and their Northern fellow partisans have at times achieved in the Federal Legislature; recently and most notably during the Kitchin era of the Wilson regime. On no other foundation than the plain disregard of the supreme law of the land have they been enabled to control Congress to enact laws of sectional impact, to lay upon the North burdens of disproportionate taxation to the relief of Southern pocket, to support a Southern born President in his attempts at Executive aggrandizement at the expense of the coordinate departments of the Government and finely to come almost to a man to his assistance when he plans a revolution in American policy and in the American system. It is proper to add, what our esteemed contemporary must have observed in its private cogitations over the mighty fabric of sectional injustice, that the same original taint of fundamental illegality extends through the operation of the electoral machinery, and leads even to the title of the President himself. All this is the inevitable sequel of what the World has set forth with courage and independence deserving of the highest praise. We do not won der that the thoughts suggested by the situation in Washington have turned our neighbor's attention at least temporarily, from that grief over the hardships of subject peoples a long way off which it is Mr. Wilson's present effort to represent to his less discerning partisans as the main concern of the Government and people of the United States (New York Sun, July 24, 1919.)

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA MOB OF 500 LYNCHES COLORED MAN IN TEXAS TOWN. Self-Confessed Assailant is Dragged Through Streets and Then Hung Gilmer, Texas, July 24.—Chilton Jen nings, colored was taken from jail here this afternoon and hanged in the courtyard square by a mob of about 500 men. The man was arrest ed, charged with assaulting a woman here yesterday. The mob dispersed after he was pronounced dead. Gilmer was quiet tonight after a night and day of intense exe- tement brought about by the at tack yesterday on a white woman and the lynching today on the court house square of Chilton Jennings, a young colored man for the crime after he was identified and had con- fessed. Jeennings was captured by a sherif's posse early today three miles from Gilmer after an all night search. He was placed in jail at noon. A mob soon gathered and with the aid of sledge hammers broke the steel doors of the jail. Just as Jennings was brought out a rope placed about his neck a man on horseback approached and was handed the other end of the rope. He galloped away dragging Jennings several blocks to the courthouse square. Jennings was then hanged. The victim is said to be in a critical condition. LYNCH AGED COLORED MAN WHO SHOT WHITE MAN FOR FIRING ON WOMEN. Atlanta Paper Discloses Hanging o Colored Man at Milan, Ga., on May 20th.6 Atlanta, July 24.—Berry Washington, seventy two years old, colored, was lynched near Milan, Ga., May 26 after killing a white man in defense of colored women, it is declared in a lengthy account of the affair which the Atlanta Constitution will publish tomorrow. The lynching in the little Georgia town in Telfair County did not be come generally known at the time, and, according to the Constitution's version officials at Milan said at the time that they wished to keep the affair out of print in order to hamp er their round up of the lynchers. On the night of May 24 the account says, two white men went into the colored section and began "cursing and disturbing the colored people who were in their homes." In an exchange of shots with Washington one of them was killed. Washington surrendered and two days later was taken from jail at McAfee, nearby, brought to Milan and hanged to a post and his body shot to pieces. --- VIRGINIA:—In the Law and Equity Court of the City of Richmond, the 22nd day of July 1919.

News Leader published the results of its investigation of the organization of the Ku Klux Klan in this city and as a means of reasuring the colored people of this city said: As for the reported revival of the Ku Klux Klan. The News Leader be can an investigation of this rumor the day after it was printed in the colored paper, the Richmond Plane Our investigation shows that the or ganization which is popularly supposed to be the Klan is a fraternal association, the avowed objects of which are very wide. The order stands for Americanism and does not represent the slightest threat to any law abiding Negro or to any other citizen. This is our conviction. But if at any future time, the order should get under the control of men who would start an improper agitation of any sort we should certainly call upon the corporation commission to revoke its charter. We regard such a contingency, however, as remote in the extreme, because the membership of the order as anyone can ascertain is made up of men whom every reputable citizen would be willing to trust. The Associated Press Correspondent began an investigation, also, we presume from the positive manner in which he makes his assertions. At the same time the News Leader was making this statement, this correspondent was sending over the country the following dispatch: Richmond, Va., July 29.—An organization fashioned after the Knux Klux has been organized here to deal with the situation in event of race riots. More than 200 prominent business and professional men have signed the membership list and each has been armed and mounted for any security. Extra precautions are being taking by authorities to prevent an out break in this section. In addition to 250 police and sheriffs, there are three companies of returned Nation al Guardmen as well as one machine gun company and a light infantry. These men are being held in readiness to be sent to any part of the State in event of an outbreak. This specific clipping comes from the Newport News, Va., Daily Press. If two hundred members of the received Ku Klux Klan have been armed and mounted for any eventuality, what are the colored people in this community expected to do, when their safety is to be entrusted to this class of people? Colored men have recently been admitted into full membership in the American Federation of Labor and they are being united and welded in to cooperative bodies. If the laboring men in this city, both white and colored are united the professional and business men to the number of two hundred with rifles and horses are being organized, what does it mean for the colored men of this city, who have combined with the laboring white men to stabilize and raise the prices of labor? The Associated Press Correspondent is saying one thing and the Richmond, Va., News Leader correspondent is saying another. Which is right? In the meantime, conservative elements in both races had better take not of these things. We do not believe that a race riot will take place in this city, but it may be well to have all of these matters brought to public notice before they occur. It may save lives on both sides and prevent much blood-shed. No Washington-Chicago Man Hunts In the Chicago race riots the aggressors have not been identified. They may have not been white men. They may have been Negroes. From Richmond's point of view it does not matter. The point for everyone in Richmond to understand is that such lawlessness will not be premitted in this city. We are to have no WashingtonChicago manhunts, either of Negroes by white men or of white men by Negroes. That this may be perfectly plain, The News Leader wishes to make a very frank statement in the name of all those, white and colored who stand for law and order: In recent weeks many of our colored people have been very much alarmed over two rumors. One of these is that the Negroes are to be compelled to move from Clay street. The other is that the Ku Klux Klan has been reorganized in Richmond and intends to drive out the Negroes. Neither of these rumors has the slightest foundation in fact. Every Negro who has purchased or rented a house in Clay street has a right in which he will be protected. The white people of Richmond will no more permit Negroes. He ousted unlawfully from their homes than they would allow themselves to be ejected without law. The whole idea is so obsurd as scarcely to deserve mention. As for the reported revival of the Ku Klux Klan The News Leader began an investigation of this rumor the day after it was printed in the colored paper the Richmond Planet. Our investigation shows that the organization which is popularly supposed to be the Klan is an association, the avowed objects of which are very wide. The order stands for Americanism and does not represent the slightest threat to any lawabiding Negro or to any other citizen. This is our conviction. But, if at any future time the order should get under the control of men who would start an improper agitation of any sort we should certainly call upon the corporation commission to revive its charter. We regard such a contingency, however, as remote in the extreme because the membership of the order as anyone can escretch is made up of men whom every reputable citizen would be willing to trust. The News Leader does not cherish the delusion that the exposure of these rumors will put an end to them. A lie always outruns the truth. We know of Richmond Negroes, worthy of all trust, who believe these absurd stories to be founded on fact and who, in consequence are talking of leaving Richmond. We know of cases where Richmond Negroes who are honest workmen are afraid to come home because they have heard these wild reports. Every night, as the police and the white citizens know perfectly well from intelligent sources, groups gather in the colored districts and discuss these rumors. The result is that while decent colored people are urging the unruly to keep their heads, the ignorant are excited and the vicious are threatening. Among the Negroes, as among the whites there are thus two classes—those who seek to prevent and those who seek to foment race troubles. Determined that the good sense and good will of the better classes shall prevail, Richmond people have agreed upon a very definite policy. The precise details of this we shall not of course, disclose; the main facts should be set down here and now that every man may understand Richmond is to do stricter justice, but is to impress with the utmost severality every disturbance. If white rowdies pleak a quarrel with Negroes, they are to be punished insultly. If Negroes should start trouble, precisely the same punishment will be meted out to them. The News Leader expects Colonel Myers to instruct his men to shoof without hesitation in to the ranks of any mob that may start. We expect him to use all the reserve forces at his command and to continue as long as may be necessary the prudent arrangements made in recent days. We expect him further, to keep the machine guns supplied with abundant ammunition and in perfect order as at present, so that if trouble starts in any street the machine guns may be brought up instantly in the waiting motor trucks and after warning has been given can be used to sweep the street from end to end. We endorse all the direct tor has done in preparing to use fire apparatus but we are frank to say we do not expect him to stop with water, if any mob opens fire. Fortunately we need not call upon him to avoid the mistake made in Washing ton of placing a single officer or a single sentry on a street corner. We have enough forces at hand to throw a cordon around any district where disorder may start and then to scour every street and every alley. But above all else, Richmond people insist that *precise* the same treatment be measured out to all that may attempt trouble. The Negroes should understand that if they undesirabile elements start rioting, the ample forces at hand will put them down instantly and without mercy. But the Negroes should like wise understand that if they should be the objects of an unprovoked attack, the men who assail them will be handled with equal severity. The equal protection of the law can be afforded every man, whit or colored. The News Leader has gone into this subject fully and frankly, not because we expect trouble—that can easily be handled—but because we do not wish the thousands of self-respecting Negro citizens who have done their duty to labor under the fear that Richmond people will allow them to be mistreated. Self-defense will be no excuse for rowdism tha law in Richmond is strong enough to be every man's defense. Richmond, Va. News Leader. FULTON NOTES. Mt. Calvary had a very fine gathering in her Sunday School last Sunday. We listened to some very fine remarks from Rev. Charles Harris, a member of the Rising Mt. Zion Baptist Church. 11:30 A. M., Rev. W. L. Tuck preached a very unique sermon. His text was Matthew 11:29. Rev. Cobbs was absent owing to his being in Bermuda Hundreds. The choir sang very beautifully, under the guidance of Deacon Valentine and Deacon Jeter, acting leader. 3:30 P. M., we witnessed a very fine sacred concert, given by Mrs. Rev. C. A. Cobbs and Mrs. Sisserecta Washington. The ordination of Rev. C. A. Cobb took place, Tuesday, July 22, at the above named Church. The sermon was preached by Rev. W. T. Johnson. Prayer by Rev. Pinekey; charge by Rev. Bass; the presentation of the Bible by Rev. C. T. Martin. Then all sang, "What A Fellowship," after which Rev. E. Payne gave the charge to the Church. Devotionals were conducted by Revs. Joseph Brown Bolling and Rev. S. P. Robinson was master of ceremonies. The installation service will begin the second Sunday in August and last through THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA the third Sunday. Miss Louise Chambliss, a member of our Sunday School was united in the bonds of matrimony to Mr. John Doe, on July 22. Sick List—Frances Carter, Julia Dandridge, Schma Robinson, Irene Hill. (Continued from First Page.) who took charge of the prosecutions following the East St. Louis riots a few years ago declared punishment of the guilty here was certain. A second attempt by floting whites to burn a Negro home was successful today when a two story frame house in Englewood far south of the main Black belt was burned to the ground. None of the several families of Negroes who lived in the building was injured. All felt so quickly from the premises that the police were unable to question them concern the incendiaries. WHITE WOMAN SHOOTS NEGRO. A white woman shot a Negro in this site on South Wabash Avenue this afternoon. She escaped unidentified. A crowd of 1,000 white men pursued a Negro several blocks in Wabash Avenue near Congress street this afternoon. He darted into a building and was later resuced by mounted police. Another Negro who was chased by a mob in the downtown district escaped by climbing the elevated road structure. A Silliman 40 years old white was stabbed shot and beaten by a crowd of Negroes early today on the south side and probably will die of his wounds. He was chased by a mob and sought refuge in a house occupied by Negroes. Few Negroes went to work today. The most seriously affected district was the stock yards where only half the working forces reported, despite heavy police guards along the chief thoroughfares leading to the yards. Railroads reported that there had been no noticeable exodus of blocks from the city. Reports that the 75,000 Southern Negroes who came to Chi cago to get the high war wages had begun to drift south again were scoured by railroad men. ORDERS TO POLICE AND TROOPS In anticipation of the call for State troops, Col. Anson L. Bottle assist ant to Adjutant General Dickson is sued a general order controlling both the police and military in dealing with race rioters. The order says: "Captain of Police Mullen will take charge of the military situation. 'All men are instructed not to fire except by order of the commanding officer. Capt. Mullen will instruct what he wants done. The method of doing it after we receive the instructions depends on the judgment and discretion of the military command. If there is a mob and the civil anthetics instruct the military forces to disperse it; it is up to the military forces how the dispersing is done. 'Employ all peaceable means possible to disperse the mob; fire only as the last resort. The bayonet and the butt are to be used before firing is commenced, and will be found much more effective. Under the police direction you are entirely justified in taking extreme measures for the protection of life and property." POLITICAL INFLUENCE CHARGED Coroner Hoffman today impanelled a jury and as deaths are reported the members will view the bodies and take preliminary steps in the inquiry. Although no definite date has been set for the taking of testimony, the coroner said the inquest would be in a courtroom under heavy guard and that all witnesses white and black would be searched for weapons. State's Attorney Mackay Hoyne as signed several assistants to the work of gathering evidence. The prosecutor also called upon the police department to preserve the names of wittnesses to the various riotous happenings. Mr. Hoyne also indicated that his activities might go outside of his investigations of actual disorder. I have heard, he said that through the influence of politicians and tide men, some of the men arrested for rotting have been turned out as soon as they were taken to the police station. I shall also investigate this. SEVEN DIE IN RACE FIGURES CHICAGO. Chicago, July 29.—Seven persons were killed and more than two score wounded, many of them seriously, in a renewal of race riots in the Chica go "black belt" tonight. For more than five hours the five mile area on the South Side was a battle ground of scattered fights be tween whites and Blacks and between olicemen and Negroes, who fired from houseets from dark alleys and other points of vantage. The call for troops to quell the out breaks resulted in four regiments of National Guardsmen being mobilized but at a late hour tonight they had not been dispatched to the disturbed district, and Chief of Police Garrity expressed the belief that the worst of the disorder had passed. Five of the dead are Negroes and two are whites. The wounded in most cases were 10—Robinson. 10- Robinson hurried to hospitals after which they were removed to their homes when conditions permitted. NO CONCERTED BATTLE. There was no concerted battle by the blacks, the outbreaks dotting a large area. Every police station in the South Side was flooded with reports of deaths and injuries. Chief of Police Garrity at a late hour, said that it was impossible to make an exact estimate of the casualties because of the contradictory reports. The riots which started yesterday on the South Side beaches, were renewed when Negro laborers began leaving the big industrial plants and by dusk* more than a *more* of sepa rate outbreaks had occurred. Whites began dragging Negroes from street cars, the Negroes retaliated with stones and knives. Street cars in the heart of the "black belt" were tied up and the windows smashed. A flying squadron* of blacks mounted on a touring car and raiding at full speed through the section sent a variety of shots at a group of whites. One white woman was injured, but not fatally. The Negroes were overcooked after a long chase and placed under arrest. FOUR NEGROES SHOT DOWN Shortly afterward a mob of several hundred blacks formed at Thirty-tenth Street and began stoning a policeman. Gufire was opened and $\star$ of the Negroes fell all mortally wounded. A white man in the same neigh borhood was dragged from a truck and stabbed to death. A Negro chauffeur was killed by whites a few minutes later in the same block. Scores of arrests were made, but where the riots were found to be unarmed they were released. Negroes began looting stores of whites in one district shortly after the firing of revolvers by a squad of policemen in an effort to break up a fight over a small purchase of groceries. The police soon emptied their guns. The looting continued until a special guard of police arrived with rifles arrived. They fired low, folling half a dozen blacks. A white woman was pulled from a street car by a Negro. He was soon trying unconscious against the curb. The angry whites lefk him for dead. USE RAZOES AND CLUBS. Groups of blacks formed in foot ball fashion and charged against whites with razors and clubs. On one corner the scene was like a miniature battle ground, Unconscious Negroes and whites dotted the streets. As they regained consciousness they were arrested or permitted to leave the neighborhood. While the main bat butles were in progress women, blacks and whites battled a way in front yards wiff brooms and missiles. In one of these fights a white woman was knocked unconscious and taken to a hospital. In one fracas on Thirty-fourth street Negroes knocked two police men unconscious and were drawing pistols when a group of Discharge Negro soldiers came to the rescue of the whites. In another battle soon after three policemen were shot. One may die. In an effort to prevent quick dis patch of rifle hoarding policemen from one section to another, the Negroes began cutting telephone and tele graph lines. The blacks began firing on street car conductors and motormen when they refused to allow Negro passengers to board their cars because of threats made by white passengers. One conductor was reported shot in the leg. Ambulance and patrol wagons threaded their way through the black belt throughout the early hours of the night. ATTACK HOME OF WHITE; A number of wounded Negroes crept into alleys and other dark places. When they were found they were hurried to the Provident Hospital for colored which for several hours received a virtual procession of injured. The more seriously wounded Negroes received at the hospital had participated in a battle, with whites near Thirty-fifth and State streets. Several thousand of the blacks congregated at this point within a period of ten minutes. It was an or derly gathering for a time. Suddenly four maddened Negroes raced up the street and sgrounred the home of a white man. In a twinkling shots began to fly in all directions. Per hours more than a score of Negroes felt. Some were carried off by com panions. For more than two blocks along one street Negro snipers fired from house tote and windows. After threats had been made by whites to "clean up" the stockyards district a small army of Negroes could ready to meet the challenge An automobile load of Negroes start at over the district to estimate the number of whites present. They were stoned. Then they drew revolvers and racing at top speed fired at whites along the road. A white man was shot in the shoulder and a bullet grazed the head of a white woman. DESCUED BY POLICEMAN. The Negroes were overtaken and rescued from the mob by policemen. In the meantime squads of mounted police arrived in the district in anticipation of trouble and what was expected to be the most serious outbreak of the night was curbed. Police wires were busy all night with pleadings from frightened women for protection. Many of them feared to leave the zone of action and they were terrified by the dramatic battles and feared their homes would be wrecked before morning. Street lights along some streets were smashed and the streets darkened. Then the bright flashes from pistols would signify a new battle and soon the immediate vicinity would be a surging mass of whites and blacks. When they came together in large crowds fists, knives and clubs were used. While the "black bolt" was teeming with strife Negro workers and churchmen sent out appeals that the Negroes go to their homes and keep peace. They charged in most outbreaks the Negroes had been heckled by whites and pointed to the first fights yesterday when colored bathers along the South lakes shore were stoned by whites and one Negro boy drowned. MOTORMAN IS KILLED. After a motorman had been dragged from his car and killed by a group of maddened blacks shortly before midnight and a dozen street cars wrecked, the street car company or dered that no more cars be taken in to the troubled area. The elevated Patins also quit running in danger ous territory. Troops continued to move to a centralized point on the South Side throughout the night but up to mid night tacy had not been ordered to begin patrolling the streets nor had the outbreaks shackened to such extent that the police could aloof protection. Waverley Nerros congregated after 11 P. M. they were clubbed by police and scuttled. Hundreds of stenographers, corks and other downtown emploes who must pass through the black belt to reach their homes remained in the business district hotels and at North Side longing places. Moving picture houses and other gathering places in the black belt were ordered closed and the coroner began an investigation of the riots. (FTunes Dispatch, July 25, 1919.)

SCRUPULOUS FAIR PLAY FOR THE NEGRO T is interesting to find the Baltimore Sun, that ultra conservative sheet, in commenting on the race riots at Washington, reminding its readers that the white people of the country owe to the negroes not only scrupulous fair play, but also large tolerance and sympathetic understanding. Remarks the Sun: "The lot of the negro is a hard one. He is the under dog. The sportsmanlike thing for the white man to do is to recognize this fact." But it hastens to add that the greatest enemy to the negro race is the vicious or arrogant negro. So long as negroes, generally, indorse or protect the vicious and arrogant members of their race, these will be trouble, and "the negro," adds the Sun, "because he is the under dog, invariably gets the worst of each encounters as these which have been taking place in Washington." It has been charged that the negroes have been the aggressors in the race riots at the capital, but, according to District Commissioner Browniew, these outbreaks were preceded by attacks on innocent negroes and were, doubtless, due partly, at least, to unreasoning resentment and rancor entertained by the offenders. Truth is, the negro in Washington has been bewildered by the suddenness and numbers of the attacks on his people. Because a few negroes proved vicious, the entire race has been under the ban in consequence and the average neuro, recognizing the injustice of this attitude and not knowing when his own life would be demanded, has been impelled to protect himself, since the police have been powerless or inadequate to give him the protection he has a right to expect. The negro race, as a whole, is no more to be held responsible for the shortcomings of one or two vicious members than is the whitio race for the evil conduct of any group of its criminal degenerates. Fair play is a jewel; if anything, the whites, just as the Baltimore Sun argues, should be most tolerant and sympathetic to the negroes, rather than truculent and uncharitable. It is well, since the Washington police has grievously failed of its duty, that military aid is invoked to keep the peace. If there is protection for the white, it is also for the negro, and the latter needs it quito as much, if not more, than the former. Judging from the dispatches and a reading of the Washington papers, the negroes are more scared than vicious and because of that fact have, at times, committed nervous blunders that have provoked reprisals. That the negro bootleggers have been far too active in the pursuit of their illicit trade is, possibly, true, but it is also as true that many innocent negroes have been arrested and harshly treated. There needs to be established a kindler spirit at the federal capital by the dominant nationals if the two races are to dwell together in amity. Now that the military forces are in control of the situation, it would be well for representative spokesmen of the negroes to suggest a plan of procedure to District Commissioner Brownlow that, if found reasonable, shall make the digressful clashes of the last week less likely of repetition. The police have been as derelict toward the negroes as they proved toward the parading suffragists, allowing a rowdy public to command the situation at all times.

ATLANTA GEORGIA THE NEW YORK STAR ON BERT WILLIAMS. Every time we run across that most unique, Bert Williams we are reminded of what the late Nat. M. Willis, said to us a few years ago. It will be remembered that Willis and Williams appeared together for two seasons in the Ziegfield's "Follies" and consequently had a pretty good chance to study each other. We were dis cussing the attitude of the players to ward one another. The name of his colored associate came up. "There's a man I admire," said Willis. "I am a Southerner and it would be naturally supposed that I might be discon tented in appearing under the pres ent conditions. I want to say to you that Bert Williams is a gentleman. He mindes his own business, is courtly to the ladies in the company and a good fellow with the men and let me add that if everybody in every organization conducted himself as does this same Bert Williams there never would be any complaints from anybody." All of which coming from a Virginian, struck me as being a pretty fine compliment to the manliness and tact of one Bert Williams.

REAPERLEST SATURDAY.....AUGUST 2, 1919 Colored Boy Drowned; White Maa Reported Dead; Many Hurt. Crashes Spread to Negro District, Fugitive, Firing on Pursuers, Wounds Policeman—Negroes Attack Firemen on Apparatus. Many Missiles Hurled. (By the Associated Press.) Chicago, July 27—A series of riots in the Negro district late today resulted in the drowning of one Negro the reported drowning of a white man probable fatal injury of another Negro, the wounding of a policeman and injury to a score of whites and blacks by bullets or missiles. Police tonight said they had the situation well in hand. The trouble started at the Twenty ninth street beach, where whites and blacks are segregated, and soon spread to State Street, the main thoroughfare in the heart of the Negro district, which extends about 5 miles. Shooting started near the beach. There was also some shooting in the vincity of State street. Although ill feeling between whites and blacks on the South side has extended over a period of months, emphasized by bomb explosions, some start in petty quarreling at the beach shooting and numerous fights, today's riots seem to have had their Reports that Negroes wandered across the dividing line to the white section of the beach, and that whites amused themselves by throwing small stones at Negro bathers, appeared the most plausible cause. Soon after the fighting started a Negro fled, pursued by a number of whites. FIRED ON POLICEMAN. He took shelter behind a building and began shooting at a policeman who had joined the pursuit and who returned the fire. The Negro finally surrendered. During the fight one Negro was probably fatally wounded. Twenty ninth street was soon packed with whites and blacks the latter predominating. More fighting occurred and a few shots were fired as some of the Negroes fled, and patrol wagons loaded with bluecoats raced to the scene. A fire broke out in a small building, and fire appara tus was blocked by the throngs. No groes are said to have tried to drag the firemen from their seats. During the fighting rocks, bricks and other missiles were hurled both at the beach and at various points along Twenty-ninth street and along State street. White men were frequently beaten on State street the police said. BODY TAKEN FROM WATER. At the beach while missiles were flying, a Negro on a raft was reported to have been struck with a rock and hurled into the Lake. Later the body of a Negro was taken from the water. A white man a swimmer was also reported hit and drowned. With the police stations, emptied of reserves and scores of others rushed from North and West Side stations. Acting Chief of Police Alcock ordered every available police man on duty to prevent further out breaks. The small army of police men succeeded in bringing about a fair assemblage of order. WHITE WOMEN AMONG INJURED Late tonight the streets of the district where disorders occurred were still fairly well filled with people, but police kept the crowds moving and no further trouble was expected. Police were unable to make an estimate of the number injured because in the many skirmishes names of in jured could not be learned. Late hospital reports showed one Negro probably fatally wounded another slightly wounded and a policeman shot in the shoulder. Four other per sons, including one white woman were injured. A rifle bullet fired by a Negro grazed the forhead of an awhite man sifting at the upper window of his home. He fell out the window, but was only slightly injured. The Negro according to spectators had levelled the rifle at a policeman but a by stander struck the weapon upward. The Negro escaped. ENCROACHING ON WHITES. The Negro district has been steadily increasing in recent years with the influx of Southern Negroes who came to work in big industrial plants Their encoaching on white neighborhoods caused considerable trouble and during the past year many clashes. Negroes have charged that a number of bomb explosions in the district in recent months were directed against families of their race by white neighbors. "The black belt," as it is known in police circles now comprises approximately 25 square miles and includes only a comparatively few small white settlements.

Fugitive, Firing on Pursuers, Wounds Policeman—Negroes Attack Firemen on Apparatus. Many Missiles Hurled. (By the Associated Press.) Chicago, July 27.—A series of riots in the Negro district late today resulted in the drowning of one Negro the reported drowning of a white man probable fatal injury of another Negro, the wounding of a policeman and injury to a score of whites and blacks by bullets or missiles. Police tonight said they had the situation well in hand. The trouble started at the Twenty ninth street beach, where whites and blacks are segregated, and soon spread to State Street, the main thoroughfare in the heart of the Negro district, which extends about 5 miles. Shooting started near the beach. There was also some shooting in the vincinity of State street. Although ill feeling between whites and blacks on the South side has extended over a period of months, emphasized by bomb explosions, some start in petty quarrelling at the beach shooting and numerous fights, today's riots seem to have had their Reports that Negroes wandered across the dividing line to the white section of the beach, and that whites amused themselves by throwing small stones at Negro bathers, appeared the most plausible cause. Soon after the fighting started a Negro fled, pursued by a number of whites. FIRED ON POLICEMAN He took shelter behind a building and began shooting at a policeman who had joined the pursuit and who returned the fire. The Negro finally surrendered. During the fight one Negro was probably fatally wounded. Twenty ninth street was soon packed with whites and blacks the latter predominating. More fighting occurred and a few shots were fired as some of the Negroes fled, and patrol wagons loaded with bluecoats raced to the scene. A fire broke out in a small building, and fire apparatus was blocked by the throngs. Negroes are said to have tried to drag the firemen from their scats. During the fighting rocks, bricks and other missiles were hurled both at the beach and at various points along Twenty ninth street and along State street. White men were frequently beaten on State street the police said. BODY TAKEN FROM WATER. At the beach while missiles were flying, a Negro on a raft was reported to have been struck with a rock and hurled into the Lake. Later the body of a Negro was taken from the water. A white man a swimmer was also reported hit and drowned. With the police stations, emptied of reserves, and scores of others rushed from North and West Side stations. Acting Chief of Police Alcock ordered every available police man on duty to prevent further out breaks. The small army of police men succeeded in bringing about a fair assemblance of order. WHITE WOMEN AMONG INJURED Late tonight the streets of the district where disorders occurred were still fairly well filled with people, but police kept the crowds moving and no further trouble was expected. Police were unable to make an estimate of the number injured because in the many skirmishes names of in jured could not be learned. Late hospital reports showed one Negro probably fatally wounded another, slightly wounded and a policeman shot in the shoulder. Four other per sons, including one white woman were injured. A rifle bullet fired by a Negro grazed the torchest of a awhite man sitting at the upper window of his home. He fell out the window, but was only slightly injured. The Negro according to spectators had levelled the rifle at a policeman but a by stander struck the weapon upward. The Negro escaped. ENCROACHING ON WHITES The Negro district has been steadily increasing in recent years with the influx of Southern Negroes who came to work in big industrial plants Their encoaching on white neighborhoods caused considerable trouble and during the past year many chashes. Negroes have charged that a number of bomb explosions in the district in recent months were directed against families of their race by white neighbors. "The black belt," as it is known in police circles now comprises approximately 25 square miles and includes only a comparatively few small white settlements. Up-to-date Rooms—The Best Service W. L.

PROHIBITION ATTORNEY SAYS INVESTIGATION IS TO BE MADE. Lowis Machen attorney for the State Prohibition Department asserted here yesterday that the arrest and fining of Prohibition Inspector Hall would be investigated at once and that no official report of the incident had been received here as yet. It was also asserted that Inspector Hall's standing in the department would be the same until the matter had been thoroughly looked into. "Mr. Hall was sent to Dauville to work under the instruction of Commonwealth's Attorney J. W. Carter stated Mr. Machen. If he has been following instructions of Mr. Carter he has only done his duty." --- DRX/AGENT DECIDES NOT TO DEMAND REHEARING W. G. Hall Content to Let Firm of $100 Stand Until Tried in Corporation Court. Danville, Va., July 27.—W. C. Hall, prohibition inspector, decided not to press for a rehearing before Mayor: Wooding yesterday and, he stated that he would be content to let the fine of $100 imposed by Mayor Wooding for breaking into the city storeboard for liquor stand until the case comes up on its merits in the Corporation Court in Sept. Mayor Wooding was ready for a reopening yesterday morning and asked Hall when he entered the courtroom if he had his desired witnesses. The in spector stated that he had decided to let the matter rest. Friday he had said that he would put Commonwealth Attorney John W. Carter on the stand today but it was learned from a reliable source that Mr. Carter had refused to assume the role of a witness in a case involving the exercise of his official duties until he is duly summoned. Mr. Carter last night gave out a long statement saying that if Hall was sent to Danville to do his building as was intimated in the state ment made by Lewis Macleen, counsel for the Prohibition Commission er, he was unaware of it. The state ment adds that never has there been any suspicion as to the methods of the police department, in handling confiscated liquor but that Hall's act was designed to bring squarely before the court the question of owner ship of the stocks of liquor which Hall seized. $300.00 ENDOWMENT PAID.

DRY AGENT FINED $100 BY THE MAYOR OF BANVILLE. Holds That W. C. Hall Had No Authority to Break Into Public Cupboard. STORMY SCENE AT HEARING. Executive Points Out That Warrant Called Upon Chief of Police and Not Prohibition Officer to Search For Liquor. Danville, Va., July 25.—Prohibition Inspector W. C. Hall was this morning fined $100 by Mayor Wooding for breaking into the city's liquor store cupboard and seizing confiscated liquor in the name of the prohibition department. Hall, quivering with anger retorted sharply to the Mayor and then noted an appeal. His bond was $150 which was put up by W. M. Snead. Early this afternoon Mayor Wooding announced that he had decided to allow Hall to bring in wives and so the case will be resumed tomorrow. Men who have followed the placid proceedings in the Mayor's Court for many years said today that they rare ly saw the judicial calm of the veteran Mayor so perturbed, and it was evident from the moment of the convening of court that there was thund er in the air. "Where is Inspector Hall?" were about the first words which the court spoke. "Send for him and bring him into court." MAYOR SIGNED WARRANT "By what authority did you yester day break into the city storehouse in this room and seize liquor?" the Mayor asked Hall as soon as he appeared. "By the warrant you signed your self and gave me Wednesday," the officer quickly replied. Mayor Wooding then handed him the warrant and told him to read it. It developed that this document called upon the chief of police, or "some other officer of the city of Danville," to execute the warrant. When the Inspector had read that far Mayor Wooding interposed. "Are you an officer of this city?" Hall made a negative reply. "We'll fine Mr. Hall $100 and call another case." The Inspector, who was formerly a member of the Danville police force showed his anger plainly. He told the court that he would take an appeal. Captain Wooding did not let the case rest there, but continued to ply questions. He asked Hall if he had taken out any more liquor he sides that which he mentioned. Hall rose to his feet and flung at the court the following words: "Look here, it's no use you and me arguing this question here. I told you what I was going to do yesterday—I did it; you've fined me for it, and I've taken an appeal; haven't I?" CAN'T BREAK DOWN DOORS. The court's rejoinder was quick. "Yes, but you can't come around here and break open doors while I'm around." City Sergeant Boisseau was brought in as a witness, and it developed that he did not know how much liquor had been turned over to him. Mayor Wooding incredulous at first, said: "Don't you think you had better count it," and the officer answered, "I guess so." Chief of Police Bell was also grilled. He was asked if he had refused Hall access to the cupboard, which question awaisted by the state ment: "He never asked for the keys." Hall issue a long statement, stating that he was going under orders Hall issue a long satentation, sating that he was acting under orders Discussion among; police officials plainly show resentment. The forelec entry is not worrying them so much as the innuendo that the city police authorities are not fit persons to keep the liquor. The innuendo was not meant by Hall, who claims he had to resort to this means to get actual possession of the liquor. At tomorrow's hearing John W. Carter will be a witness for Hall as the inspector is said to have advised with that official before taking the action he did. WANTED—A Live Canvasser, male or female.
