RAGE - COUNTRY - WORLD NEWS THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia State Library TIME IS MEETING - KEEP POSTED THE ATTITUDE OF THE AMERI CAN NEGRO. (Frank Howard Hallion.) The American Negro has been accused of practically everything under the sun. He has been persecuted and spit upon through public sentiment; he has been ignored by those who reckon themselves contributors to civilization; he has been placed in the category of the kingdom of the lower animals by separate car transportation; he has been deprived of the privilege to speak for himself in a land whose founders spit their blood in a cry against "taxation without representation;" he has been mercifully led as a sheep to his slaughter by the ignorant mob of the South, thus suffering at the hand of which he has been benefactor for decades; they have said he is not a fit soldier despite his record to the contrary; they say he is not a builder and creator in face of the all important part he played in the economic development of American democracy (2). One white man in the South said that there was no objection to the exodus of the Negroes North, despite the efforts of his fellows to even pass legislation to help keep the Negro in the South. They say they do not want him and yet when he goes we hear the lamentations of the Negro's home, his beloved Southland, saying "All of our good colored citizens are leaving." Why is this? Is it that the white man of the South really has within his heart a tender regard for his dark brother? Can the two hundred and fifty years accumulated relations and feelings and possibly love be crumbled in so short a time as half a century? It is not to be believed. Yes, the Negro has been accused of practically everything, but there are two things not yet against him. No man has ever accused him of being a coward (Isaac Fisher) and we add ungrateful. When some of the unthinkable white folks of the South begin to bestir themselves into again bringing into existence the oil Ku-Klux-Klan of reconstruction days and similar organizations, let it be remembered that it is a far cry from reconstruction to the present and that the Negro can be despised, legislated against, jin-crowed, disfranchised and at times even spit upon, but he can not be scared. He has been too long living in the "Home of the Brave." Yet, withal, in his manly courage, he is meek and conciliating and loves the South. He is grateful for the history of his people and their relation to "Old Mistis" and "Old Marster," and still sings the songs of his fathers like no initiator has been able to copy, but with his wagon hitched to the star of civilization he is looking toward Service and not servitude; he wants, and is getting, recognition for his ability. Ability, like trouble is neither black nor white, but comes to every mother's son of us. Whenever the white man of the South, or any other section for that matter, wakes up to a full realization of democracy and willingly tunes up a man's progress according to his ability and not color, then it is that America may lay claim to being a democracy. The absence of a king in the White House is not all that is required to constitute a democratic government. The war has done a lot for the white man and it has done a lot for the Negro. It got the white man in a state of preparedness. It got the Negro into the habit of weighing things—putting two and two together—not exactly "watchful waiting," for the Negro has always been visionary and can see into the future. This is not superstition but a gift of God. There is a story told of a black regiment in the last war whose watch word was a slang phrase, "Let's go." Whatever the command, whether to peel potatoes or to peel the bark on a flun, he cheerfully said, "Let's go." This slang phrase represents about as forcefully as anything could under the sun the Negro's present attitude. Whatever may come its going to be with the American Negro, "Let's go!" ```markdown ``` HOME OF ADOLPHUS HUMBLES IS STONED BY RIOTERS.

From all parts of the State, men and women have been in the city this week attending the Baptist reunion and the Tercentenary Celebration under the auspices of the General Baptist Association, Woman's Baptist Missionary and Educational Association, Virginia Baptist State Sunday School Convention and the Baptist Young People's Union.

The feature of the morning session were the addresses of the presidents of the various participating bodies. It is the first time in the history of the organization that all the presidents delivered their annual message in joint session. It was interesting. Dr. Z. D. Lewis had a warm mess sage of hope and good cheer for the Baptists of Virginia and touching on the live issues of today. He regretted the trouble in other parts of the United States and expressed faith in the ability of Virginia to keep down any such. The war in which the civilized world engaged was discussed and the part played by the American Negro was brought out. He spoke of the other races and nations who had produced from time to time their traitors but such had never been charged to the American Negro who knew only patriotism and loyalty and who was ever ready to respond to the car on his country with his life, with las money and with alt that he had. Mrs. W. T. Johnson president of the convention of women was given an ovation as she touched the vital question concerning the country. The address was full of important information and showed carefully study and preparation. Of course she was enthusiastically placed at the head of the convention for another year. The part played by the Sunday School was told in the annual address of Prof. W. P. Epps president of State Sunday School convention and the President of the B. Y. P. U. Prof. W. E.

To The Editor On May 24, 1919 the undersigned complained to the Director General of Railroads of the unsuitable conditions of Seaboard Air Line trains entering Richmond from the South. And suggested that, as these trains are held for 29 minutes at Main Street Station and an additional 15 minutes at Acea Yards, the company should be required to clean the coaches. The following will show the reas on why railroads do not improve the colored passengers. 1 discriminatory service to Richmond, Va., Aug. 4, 1919. United States Railroad Administration. Bureau for Suggestions and Buried for Suggestions and Complaints, Washington, D. C. Mr. Eugene H. Lamb, Acting Chief Subject: "Treatment for Colored People." File P-1-18363. Dear Sir—This acknowledges, with thanks your letters of May 27, 1919, and August 1, 1919. In the latter you state: "A most exhaustive investigation of the case fails to develop just cause for complaint. It appears that the coach equipment on this train is of the newest and modern type and the proper precautions are taken to see that it is kept in good condition. Further, that the condition of the coach provided for the colored patrons was identified to that of the car provided for white patrons on this train on the date in question. In reply permit me to say that the party or parties making this "exhaustive investigation," must have been of the same type and frame of mind as those who permitted the filthy condition on the car for colored people as complained in my letter of May 24, 1919. Only exceptional white men are big brainy and honorable enough to overcome their inborn prejudice towards colored people to grant them just and fair play in such matters. As I was a passenger on this train and examined both white and colored coaches I know that the statement that "condition of the coach provided for colored patrons was identi cal to that of the car provided for white on this train on the date in question." is not a true statement of conditions on this particular occasion. The colored coach was divided into three compartments—baggage, smoker and passenger. The white coach had no such arrangement. Seats and floor of colored coach were covered with mud from shoes of pas sengers and floor littered with trash. White coach had clean seats and floor. These facts can be verified by president and secretary of the organi zation with which I am identified. Further, to show you that it is the practice of this road to improperly provide for the comfort of its passen gers I'll relate another experience on this road: Same can be verified by the above parties. On Monday, June 16, 1919 we boarded Seabord Air Line train, due at Main Street Station at 5:50 A. M., from the South. We found the floor and seats in a filthy condition: Neither captain, porter or anyone else seemed inclined toward seeing that "the proper pre cautions are taken to see that it is kept in good condition." So I went through the white coach and noticed that it was clean and had only a few white passengers. I sought the porter and asked him to locate the captain for me. He pointed him out of a group engaged in conservation on the station plat form. I approached him and asked for the privilege of a word with him. We stepped a few paces from the above group then I told him of the condition in the colored coach and asked him to see it to it that these pas sengers were given scats. He stated that no one had complained to him To which I replied: "Seems to me that you or someone else should have enough interest in passengers who have paid for first class accommodation on your train to see that they receive same without complaining." I also mentioned the fact that I had already filed a complaint about conditions found on this company's train (Continued on Page Five.) REV. SKIPWITH CONDUCTING A MEETING IN PETERSBURG. Rev. W. H.

ATTORNEY HEWIN INJURED. ```markdown ``` Attorney J. Thomas Hewson was painfully injured when a street car struck the Ford limousine in which he was riding, Wednesday afternoon, July 26, on 32nd Street near Q Street. It seems that the street car was two blocks away when Mr. Hewin first crossed the track. His signal was evidently misunderstood for the car crashed into the automobility, throwing Mr. Hewin in such a manner as to make a bad gash over the eye and to dislocate his shoulder. He was conveyed to Memorial Hospital, but his restless nature would not permit him to remain. He is now attending to his business. MARRIAGE RECEPTION. Mr. and Mrs. Thos. W.

Aug. 1.—Members of the Richmond branch of the Soviet reign Klan of the World denounce as utterly absurd the reports contained in news dispatches under Richmond date lines to the effect that they have equipped themselves with horses and paraphenalia of the Kux Klan and stand ready to ride forth and strike terror into the heart of any member of the Negro population which may furnish occasion for such action. It was admitted that supremacy of the white race was one of the mot toes of the order, but glorious denial was made that any action was contemplated. The Richmond branch was organized at the Business Men's Club it was learned at the instance of the representatives from headquarters at Nashville, Tenn., a membership of several hundred being enrolled at the initial meeting which was held the night of June 16. Since then it is said the number has been increased to upward of 1,000 and embrace many of the leading citizens of Richmond. Much space has been given recently to the Sovereign Klan of the World by the Richmond Planet edited and published by John Mitchell, Jr., one of Richmond's leading colored citizens. In one issue Mitchell published in big display type the copy of a letter sent out from the Nashville office over the signature of J. B. Frost pre liminary to the first meeting of the clansmen here. A section of this reads: "In all his tory there is no record of a braver race of men than the fathers who so valiantly aided in the reconstruction of our own Beloved Southland nor could there be a race more truly loy al and more truly lawabiding and wory thy of the utmost trust than those who craddled and upheld the Ku Klux Klan, even though it involved a seem ing disregard of the then established law. Their devotion to the interests of their fellowman and their forgetfulness of self will forever en shrine them in the hearts of all true patriots. We trust that the new Richmond Klan will be a worthy successor of the Klan of half a century ago and that the new vision of reconstruction and service to our fellowmen may ever be uppermost in their thoughts."

Reserves Called Out Before Former Soldier Can Be Put Into Patrol Wagon. "I don't know, Your Honor how it happened, I don't even remember it. But I know that the revolver is mine," was the explanation given yesterday in the Adams Street Police Court by Myles Tripp a giant Negro and discharged soldier, twenty-three years old, who started a riot of his own Friday night at Mtyle and Hudson Avenue, the heart of Brooklyn's "black belt." He lives at No. 129 Duf field street. Patrolman Ranchet, passing along Myrtle Avenue saw Tripp who was uniformed playfully pointing an army revolver at another Negro to whom he was talking. The policeman noting the careless way in which the soldier handled the gun, admonished him to put it away. The Negro who seemed under the influence of a drug gave him a shar proply, Rauchet seized the weapon. The Negro hit him, knocking him sprawling. Fearful lest he commit an act that would start a race riot, the policeman kept his temper and tried persuasion. But the Negro picked him up and tossed him into the street as if he were a child. Immediately a crowd of Negroes gathered and the big black soldier was cheered. Another patrolman and a Sergeant came along, Tripp manhandled the three. Then the force of policemen was doubled. But Tripp remained the victor. No attempt to club him was made, the Chicago riots being in the minds of the officers. Soon the reserves from Adams Street called on the message that a race riot had broken out in the black belt appeared. It took their combin strength to subdue the Negro who finally was chained to the floor of the "hurry-up" automobile and tak en away. His wife Sadie and Alvin Mashack another Negro who interfered with the officers were also ar rested. Mrs. Tripp and Mashack were found guilty of disorderly conduct yesterday by Magistrate Brown in Adams Street Police Court and held for sentence Tuesday. Tripp was held in $500 bail for trial at Special Sessions for carrying the weapon. (Aug. 3, New York World.) The first man to shake hands with President Wilson Tuesday night up on his return to Washington was Judge Robert H. Terrall, of the Municipal Court of the District of Columbia. A citizen's Committee ap pointed by the NonPartisan League was deputed to meet the President at the Union Station, and Attorney Jackson H. Ralston, President of the League and a leader at the local bar, delivered the address of welcome. When the President had made his response and began the hand making with the committee, the first to whom he turned was Judge Terrell and the cordial greetings folowed. This was especially signifi cant in view of the fact that Judge Terrell was the only Colored member of the committee. His selection by the Non Partisan League was most fitting, as he is the ranking colored official now in the Federal service and he invariably represents the race with dignity and distinction on occasions where our best foot must be put foremost. President Wilson well remembered the Judge as the man he appointed for his fifth term on the bench of the Municipal Court, solely on his merits, and in the face of a terrife back fire from members of the Senate of his own political faith and order. The President has given evidence more than once of the pleas are he feels in the fact that Judge Terrell has "made good" as a jurist and is popular alike with the people of both races throughout the District of Columbia and the nation at large. JEANNETTE CARTER, —Washington, D. C. GOVERNOR BICKETT OFFERS / HOME FOR 25,000 NEGROES. Declares, However That Social Equality and Political Power is Forever Impossible. Radcligh, N. C., August 3.—Governor T. W. Bickett today answering a query of a Chicago newspaper, says that North Carolina can absorb 25 000 Negroes who want to return from Illinois to the South unless they have become tainted or intoxicated with dreams of social equality or political dominion. The Governor was asked by the Chicago paper in a telegram received here Friday how many Negroes this State could absorb the Negroes having appealed to the Chicago paper during the recent rioting in that city. The message to the Governor said that those desiring to return were Negroes who went to Chicago to engage in war work and were of the industrious class.

WRITE TODAY to THE EXCELSIOR MANUFACTURING, CO THE JUNET COLORED GIANT OVERPOWERS SIX POLICIEMEN. Neserves Called Out Before Former Soldier Can Be Put Into Patrol Wagon. "I don't know. Your Honor how it happened. I don't even remember it. But I know that the revolver is mine," was the explanation given yesterday in the Adams Street Police Court by Myles Tripp a giant Negro and his charged soldier, twenty-three years old, who started a riot of his own Friday night at Mtyle and Hudson Avenue, the heart of Brooklyn's "black belt." He lives at No. 129 Duf field street. Patrolman Rauchet, passing along Myrtle Avenue saw Tripp who was uniformed playfully pointing an army revolver at another Negro to whom he was talking. The policeman noting the careless way in which the soldier handled the gun, admonished him to put it away. The Negro who seemed under the influence of a drug gave him a sharply. Rauchet seized the weapon. The Negro hit him, knocking him sprawling. Fearful lest he commit an act that would start a race riot, the policeman kept his temper and tried persuasion. But the Negro picked him up and tossed him into the street as if he were a child. Immediately a crowd of Negroes gathered and the big black soldier was cheered. Another patrolman and a Sergeant came along. Tripp manhandled the three. Then the force of policemen was doubled. But Tripp remained the victor. No attempt to club him was made, the Chicago riots being in the minds of the officers. Soon the reserves from Adams Street called on the message that a race riot had broken out in the black belt appeared. It took their combined strength to subdue the Negro who finally was chained to the floor of the "hurry-up" automobile and tak en away. His wife Sadie and Alvin Mashack another Negro who interfed with the officers were also ar rested. Mrs. Tripp and Mashack were found guilty of disorderly conduct yesterday by Magistrate Brown in Adams Street Police Court and held for sentence Tuesday. Tripp was held in $500 bail for trial at Special Sessions for carrying the weapon. (Aug. 3, New York World.) The first man to shake hands with President Wilson Tuesday night up on his return to Washington was Judge Robert H. Terrell, of the Municipal Court of the District of Columbia. A citizen's Committee appointed by the NonPartisan League was deputed to meet the President at the Union Station, and Attorney Jackson H. Ralston, President of the League and a leader at the local bar, delivered the address of welcome. When the President had made his response and began the hand shaking with the committee, the first to whom he turned was Judge Terrell and the cordial greetings folowed. This was especially signif cant in view of the fact that Judge Terrell was the only Colored member of the committee. His selection by the Non Partisan League was most fitting, as he is the ranking colored official now in the Federal service and he invariably represents the race with dignity and distinction on occasions where our best foot must be put foremost. President Wilson well remembered the Judge as the man he appointed for his fifth term on the bench of the Municipal Court, solely on his merits, and in the face of a terrific back fire from members of the Senate of his own political faith and order. The President has given evidence more than once of the pleas he no feels in the fact that Judge Terrell has "made good" as a jurist and is popular alike with the people of both races throughout the District of Columbia and the nation at large. JEANNETTE CARTER. —Washington, D. C. GOVERNOR BICKETT OFFERS A HOME FOR 25,000 NEGROES. Declares, However That Social Equality and Political Power is Forever Impossible. Radeigh, N. C., August 3.—Governor T. W. Bickett today answering a query of a Chicago newspaper, says that North Carolina can absorb 25,000 Negroes who want to return from Illinois to the South unless they have become tainted or intoxicated with dreams of social equality or political dominion. The Governor was asked by the Chicago paper in a telegraph received here Friday how many Negroes this State could absorb the Negroes having appealed to the Chicago paper during the recent rioting in that city. The message to the Governor said that those desiring to return were Negroes who went to Chicago to engage in war work and were of the industrious class. Returning from a mountain trip today the Governor wired the Chicago paper that this State could absorb 25000 Negroes "who may desire to come to this State for honorable employment at renumerative wages. He declares however that social equality and political power in the South is forever impossible. $100.00 ENDOWMENT PAID. Lynchburg, Va. July 5th, 1919.

He is giving exhibitions at Nuevo Laredo, Mexico. Chicago wanted him at one time for trial but they are so busy there now, that his presence is not desired. Police officers have located two stalls on church hill in this city. This good news to the dramaters comes too late for use on Shockoe Hill. When a policeman cannot scent liquor there surely is none around in "these diggins." --- President Wilson declared many years ago that he would reduce the high cost of living. The people are paying for a return to those old prices that were considered high. They are now so high above the clouds that they cannot even see these prices of which previous com- saint was made. * Colored laborers have been barred from the Chicago stockyards. Six blocks of buildings occupied by Litchi koala and Poles were recently destroyed by fire and although Governor London is of the opinion that men be longing to the labor-unions were responsible for their destruction, some other folks suspected that colored people might be concerned in the same and the order has been accordingly issued. --- Judge Harrison of the Police Court at Washington sentenced Basil T. Gordon a colored soldier who had seen service in France and had been cited for bravery in the official reports of General Pershing to three hundred and sixty days in jail for carrying a concealed weapon on the night of July 21st, 1919. The sentence was pronounced August 6, 1919. What is all right in France is all wrong in the United States of America. A risk of life for the nation will not alone for a misdemeanor offense in the "land of the free and the home of the brave." Readers may draw their own conclusions. ```markdown ``` The direct cause of the Chicago riot was the drowning of Eugene Wil Hams, a colored youth, who was on a float that drifted over to the side of the beach occupied by white people. A white man threw a stone at him he was drowned. Now, it is claimed that no marks of violence have been found on his body. It is plainly evident that he was drowned on account of the attacks made upon him. Whether he was struck or not struck the result is the same, he is dead and the man responsible for his death is the one who threw the missiles at him and prevented him from saving himself. William Monroe Trotter, the redeemable editor of the Boston, Mass. Guardian wires us that France wants colored laborers under thirty years of age to restore the devastated sections of that country. No race prejudice or riotous conditions will be found there. Those desiring to get information concerning this offer would do well to send their communications to him in care of the Boston Guardian, Boston, Mass. Editor Trotter knows what he is talking about. His exploit in getting to Paris without a passport has given him a world-wide reputation, while the work he did after he got there has made a him a popular idol among his own people. ```markdown ``` We do not know of a more humiliating spectacle than the one disclosed in the testimony of Secretary of State Lansing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee last Wednesday at Washington, D. C. He admitted that although he was a part and parcel of the Peace Commission, he knew very little more about what transpired in Paris at the Peace Table than did the members of the Committee before whom he was testifying. This was direct evidence that his Chief either regarded him as diplomatically incompetent to perform the duties of his office or that his views were so much at variance with those of the distinguished Chef Executive of the Nation that he could not trust him. Just what will be the out come of these disclosures is problematical. It certainly means a dead lock between the Executive and Legislative Departments of the Government at Washington. PRESENT DAY CONDITIONS. Lawlessness, like contagious diseases is infectious. You cannot have lynching in the South, without ultimately having it in the North, East and West. You cannot have strikes in one part of this country without ultimately having it in the other part. The disease has to be segregated and eliminated and lawless conditions must be treated in the same way. A colored man on the farm be fore the war is a different individual on that same farm or in a city after the war, when he has been abroad, ascertained foreign conditions and learned to the minutest degree his rights int he world. He knew how to work before he left these shores. He knows how to fight since he came back to these same coast-lines. Before he left here he was taught to move along the lines of the least resistance. Since he has been away, he has learned to move along the lines of the greatest resistance. Weaklings shun difficulties. Brave men seek them. With all of this, it is a difficult task for them to submit again to the rankest kind of injustice and submit to requirements that no honorable man would tolerate. It would be well for all, both white and colored to understand these things and to do what we can to bring about mutual concessions. These white folks must live amongst colored folks and these colored folks must live among these white folks. Our lines of e'cavage may be separate but our purposes for mutual self help and the buildinf up of the envement should be one. Let us have peace. --- THE CHICAGO BIOTS No one will probably ever know the exact number of people, both, white and colored, who were killed and wounded in the Chicago riot. That the colored people fought back with all of their power and might is universally conceded and that the lawless elements had opportunities to exercise their brutal instincts and to kill and wound innocent people on both sides is plainly evident. The one peculiar part about the whole situation was the declaring of martial law in that part of the city occupied by colored people and enforcing as far as possible all of the rigors of the system, while the parts of the city occupied by white people were not subject to any such regulations. As a result, the colored people became desperate and it is asserted that the situation became so critical that although hundreds of colored families were suffering for the necessities of life no white man The underlying cause of all of this is the government's own uniformed men, the sailors and the soldiers, who are in the service of the United States, thousands of whom, both North and South have an antipathy to the colored people in this country. It may be that the affair in Washington and in Chicago will cause the people of this country to view the whole affair in a new light and will have a tendency to bring conservative action to the forefront. It is plainly evident that the slaughter THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA ering of unarmed and helpless colored people without its accompanying killing of white people will never take place in this country again. The White-caps, the Ku-Klux-Klan will find that they have a new element with which to deal. It will be as dangerous for lawless white men to attack colored men's homes as it will be for lawless colored men to attack white men's homes. The fear of punishment at the time the riotous act is committed is the best de derrent upon both races guilty of these offenses. When the lyncher knows that injury and probably death at the hands of the intended victim will be his portion will hesitate a long time, before he will take the chance in such a desperate encounter. White riotous lynchers should be shot down and colored riotous lynchers should meet the same fate. Law making white and colored men should combine for mutual protection and all talk about dividing along race lines should be banished from these United States of America. Be the cost what it may, lynch-law must go. A LYNCHING IN GEORGIA. The following explains just how things are done in Georgia where a coored man is brought into question, major punishments are meted first and minor punishments afterwards. The victim was a southern colored man. Had he lived North and had been born there, he would hardly have indulged in such language as has been accredited to him. Cochran, Ga. August 6. An unidentified Negro, who was taken from a Southern passenger train here at 1:40 o'clock this morning on complaint of Negro passengers of the train and placed in the city barracks was lynched by unknown parties during the early morning. His body was found swinging to a small tree fifty yards from the Cochran and Eastman line. The Negro was enroute to Rochelle He told several persons it is said that lie was from Chicago and had a message from that city. Negroes in formed white people that the victim of the lynching had boasted that the Negroes of Georgia were going to do what the Negroes of Chicago had done. Under the law, the greatest punishment that should have been meted this man was a fine of approximately twenty-five dollars but this lawless mob caused him to give up his life as a forfeit. Evidently crazed with "book-legging" whiskey, he made him self a nuisance to his associate travellers who little thought that in complaining they were confining him to his death in the Negro hating State of Georgia. Human life is 100 cheap. It is a colored man today and it may be a white man tomorrow. Free speech is no longer permissible in this country. It is saying one thing and doing another all along the line. The Scriptures tell of these times. The grave is the so lution and the religion of Jesus Christ, the only balm for a sin sick, weary troubled soul. Great principles have been set aside, but they must be fully recognized before the equil brim of eternal justice will be ob servable again in this land. --- FLORENCH LETTER. (E. B.

RACE RIOTS IN CHICAGO OVER. Special to The Planet The Race riot which broke out in Chicago in fall force Sunday after Moon July 27 at 29th street and cottage avenue and which has caused the lives of many innocent white and colored persons and the destruction of thousands of dollars worth of property back of the stockards in the Polish district and some in other scattered communities has debated to a great extent. More than six thousand soldiers and thousands of armed deputies and policemen are scattered throughout the territory bounded by 22nd street on the north 69th street; on the south; Ashland avenue on the west and Lake Michigan on the east. Great credit is due these men in uniform many of them are members of the Race some of who fought over seas and many who were trained in camps at home. During the entire riot members of the Race seated throughout the city as well as what is known as the "black belt" have been cool headed and conservative. Like men they have at all times defended their homes; their rights and their property. Much praise has been given to them by all nationalities for the stalemate which they have taken. With the riot came the great street car and operated strike, and it is consensus of opinion that this happened just as it did; lightened the death record because all cars stopped. All lines have resumed their regular running schedule, business houses have reopened and in a few days everything will be normal. BAILEY CLQSES BIG DEAL. M. T.

JORDAN AUPEALS FOR BETTER RAILGAD SERVICE AND ACCOMMODATIONS. (Continued From Page One.) on my former trip to Washington, D. C. Then he went in and arranged for the overflow of colored passengers to be seated in the white smoker. Possibly this additional matter will interest you, even if it does not impress you with the fact that it is the practice of practically all railroads running south to discriminate against colored passengers. We left Washington June 16, 1919 on the Atlantic Coast Line train, leaving at 6 P. M. We found a party of gypsies in the colored coach. They were too fathily to be placed in the white coaches, so they were put in the colored coach where enditions were "Not identical to those of the car provided for white patrons." Although there were toil (as in said coach two o'rhree of the gypsy children preferred the coach floor for the purpose for which people use said toilets. As these people patronized the News Butter very freely, you can imagine how sensitive conditions were in this coach. Just one more incident on this same train and then I shall close. Shortly after leaving the District, two Prohibition Inspectors entered colored coach—one had a very large revolver poking out of his coat pocket. He shook and examined all bagge of colored passengers and even pushed aside the skirt of a colored female to see if she was concealing anything. My brother put a stop to this by asking if he had authority to do so ungentlemanly an act. From comments made by Prohibition. In spectators, and odor of liquor on them and the uneasy look of two colored men aboard, we judged they made a rich haul from the smoker compartment of this car. We watched him through the white coach and noticed that he placed his revolver in the hip pocket of his trousers, and merely looked at the baggage of white passengers—but did not shake or handle same. These Sir, are the "Identical provisions and conditions" railroads of the South provide for colored passengers. Gratefully yours —W. A. JORDAN 527 N. Second St. BLACK BAN PUT ON ABYSSINIANS Envoys From: Emperor Are Deprived of Peace Feast in Democratic Club. Guide o fVisitors Expects President Wilson to Act With Frenziness The members of the Abyssinian mission who came to this country three weeks ago bearing the conglutations of their master the Ethiopian Emperor to the President, and people of the United States on having made the world safe for democracy dined last night on the Ritz Carlton roof as the guests of H. H. Tapasy an, Consul General of Persia to the United States. By reason of the delicate international questions involved Capt. Paul Rex Morrissey, who is as companying the mission as the repre sentative of the President would have the story stop right there. He was gravely portentous about what might happen should the Emperor of Abyssinia learn the real tara and he was quite positive that when a certain strong jawed gentleman in Wash ington hears about it there will be reactions. But Consul General Tapasyan was perfectly willing to tell his version of the incident and in fact he kept the wires busy most of yesterday after moon pouring fluent but rather uncertain English into the ears of the re porters. It seems that being the duly accredited representatives of a friendly 'Power', the Consul General belongs importantly and indiscriminately to both the National Democratic Club and the Republican Club. CIGARETTE CAUSES TROUBLE But it struck him that it would be a delicate compliment to his distin guished guests on the eve of their departure for Abyssinia to dine them if not wine them at the National Democratic Club, and accordingly he aranged by phone, for a little party of seven at the clubhouse on Fifth avenue for yesterday evening. All might have gone well if he Consul General had not stopped at the em later for a cigarette According to his story he mentioned the party to a member in the lobby and then the complications began. The member, the Consul General says glanced out the window at the four representatives of the Ethiopian Empire. They are very black even if they do happen to be the representatives of a monarch who is the direct descendant of King Soloman and the Queen of Sheba. Whereupon he summed the steward and registered a rigorous objection to the presence in the diming room of the Consul General's guests and the steward informs the Persian diplomat that the club would not be available for the feast. Whereupon the Consul General called up the Republican Club and arranged to entertain the African emitsaries there. SWITCHED TO RITZCARLTON ROOF. But J. Cornell Tarlor who is also accompanying the party as a repro sentative of the Skate Department, said that another fracture of the Skate cordia's between this coup Iry and Abysinin might result if the Republican Club should also proveinate for democracy and persuaded the Consul General that the beast using to do was to shift the party a third time to the Ritz-Carlton. And accordingly at 9 o'clock or there abouts, all unconscious that they had been within speaking distance of a caesus belli the four diplomats began their delayed meal on the Ritz roof garden. Meanwhile at the Democratic Club the member whose name Consul General Tapasyan gave as having object THE SHOW YOFTEN IMITATED BY SEATS FOR MUSICAL COMEDY MINS DON'T FAIL TO HEAR GREAT BLUES SINGING GREATEST SINGER CHANGE OF PROGRAM Admission (including Admission, Children Reserved Seats.

Then he went in and arranged for the overview of colored passengers to be seated in the white smoker. Cossibly this additional matter will interest you, even if it does not impress you with the fact that it is the practice of practically all railroads running south to discriminate against colored passengers. We left Washington tom June 16, 1919 on the Atlantic Coast Line train, leaving at 6 P. M. We found a party of gypsies in the colored coach. They were too fifty to be placed in the white coaches, so they were put in the colored coach where conditions were "Not identical to those of the car provided for white patrons." Although there were toilets in said coach two o rthree of the gypsy children preferred the coach floor for the purpose for which people use said toilets. As those people patronized the News Butcher very freely, you can imagine how sanitary conditions were in this coach. Just one more incident on this game train and then I shall close. Shortly after leaving the District, two Prohibition Inspectors entered colored coach—one had a very large revolver poking out of his coat pocket. He shook and examined all bagage of colored passengers and even pushed aside the skirt of a colored female to see if she was concealing anything. My Brother put a stop to this by asking if he had authority to do so ungentlemen an act. From comments made by Prohibition In spectators, and odor of liqueur on them and the uneasy look of two colored men aboard, we judged they made a rich haul from the smoker compartment of this car. We watched him through the white coach and noticed that he placed his revolver in the hip pocket of his transfers and merely looked at the baggage of white passen-gers—but did not shake or handle same. These Sir, are the "Identical pro visions and conditions" railroads of the South provide for colored passen gers. Gratefully yours —W. A. JORDAN 527 N.

The members of the Abyssinian mission who came to this country three weeks ago hearing the concluding of their master the Ethiopian Emperor to the President and people of the United States on having made the world safe for democracy dined last night on the Ritz Carlton roof as the guests of H. H. Tapasy on, Consul General of Persia to the United States. By reason of the delicate international questions involved Capt. Paul Rex Morrissey, who is an accompanying mission as the repre sentative of the President would have the story stop right there. He was gravely portents about what might happen should the Emperor of Abyssin learn the real truth and he was quite positive that when a certain strong jawed gentleman in Wash ington bears about it there will be receptions. But Consul General Tapasyan was perfectly willing to tell the version of the incident and in fact he kept the whis busy most of yesterday after noon pouring fluent but rather uncer tain English into the ears of the reporter. It seems that being the duly accrue d representatives of a friendly Power, the Consul General belongs importantly and indiscriminately to both the National Democratic Club and the Republican Club. CIGARETTE CAUSES TROUBLE But it struck him *him* at *it* would be a delicate compliment to his distin guished guests on the eye of their departure for Abyssinia to dine them if not wine them at the National Democratic Club, and accordingly he are ranged by phone, for a little party of seven at the clubhouse on Fifth avenue for yesterday evening. All might have gone well ift he Consur General had not stopped at the emulator for a cigarette According to his story he mentioned the party to a member in the lobby and then the complications began. The member, the Consul General says glanced out the window at the four representatives of the Ethiopian Empire. They are very black even if they do happen to be the representatives of a monarch who is the direct descendant of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. Whereupon he sum moned the steward and registered a vigorous objection to the presence in the diming room of the Consul General's guests and the steward Informed the Persian diplomat that the club would not be available for the feast. Whereupon the Consul General call up the Republican Club and arranged to entertain the African emisaries there. SWITCHED TO RITZ CARLTON ROOF. But J. Cornell Tarler who is also accompanying the party as a representative of the Skate Department, said that another fracture of the skate cordia between this court try and Abysinia might result if the Republican Club should also proveinate for democracy and persuaded the Consul General that the best thing to do was to shift the party a third time to the Ritz Carlton. And accordingly at 9 o'clock or there abouts, all unconscious that they had been within speaking distance of a census bellthe four diplomats began their delayed meal on the Ritz roof garden.
