Baker street where the tragedy took place was fully occupied when a visit was made there Sunday evening to find out how the affair took place. Mr. John Gatewood the father and his family were upstairs and with Richard W. Jackson's wife. She is of slender build and although she is 28 years of age, she has a childish appearance. Mr. Gatewood's son and his wife lives there also. ON THE FRONT PORCH. It seems that at 12 o'clock Saturday night Bessie E Jackson who is Richard W. Jackson's wife was on the front porch with Robert Hopson. A girl called Charlotte (Price) was at the front gate. Richard W. Jackson was in the neighborhood, Mrs. Jackson thinks behind a tree watching them. Finally he came nearer and called to his wife to come to him She refused to go. He then opened fire on her and Hopson ran into the house. He pursued him, although Mrs. Jackson tried to shut the door and get a chair under the knob to keep him out. BREATHES HIS LAST. She did not succeed and he forced the door open wide enough to open fire on Hopson in the hall way. Hop son ran upstairs' pursued by Gatewood. He fell down in one of the bed rooms and soon breathed his last. In the meantime, Jackson ran after his wife shooting, at her, pursuing her around the house, but she evaded him and finally went into a yard near Fourth street. The revover with which the killing was done was of French make and the cartridge was a 32.20. TROUBLE ABOUT MONEY.

Jackson returned about June 15th or 18th and stayed there about a week. $90.00 was missing as a result of this and he was elated with taking it. He said that if they thought he took it, they could take the amount out of a $90.00 allotment that his wife had received and they did so. REFUSED TO LIVE WITH HIM She said that she refused to go to Our live with him after this, as she did since not consider him honest and did not About wish to live with a person of that our ch character. The holes made by the was p bullets could be plainly seen. As dred of he fired more than six times, the proper impression was that he schooled the Wee weapon Mrs. Jackson believes that saving he intended to kill her also. All of are lie them were much wrought up over and go the tragic occurrence. John Gatewood said that Robert Hopson's breast was literally split open. They had not heard until then that Rich and W. Jackson had been captured and they learned this fact with even deny belief. It is understood that Attorney J. R. Pollard will represent the interests of Jackson and with him will be associated H. M. Smith, Jr. THE CORONERS INQUEST At the corpore's ingest, Charlotte Price stated that she had passed the house at about 11:20 and Ressie and Jackson were on the front porch. On her return at about 12 o'clock, they were still there. Richard W. Jackson came up while she was there and called to his wife to come to him. She asked him what he wanted but she did not go to him. He then opened fire. STRUCK BY TWO BULLETS Cottoner Whitfield stated that two of the bullets took effect, one in the arm and the other in the right side. It entered the neighborhood of the heart. EVANGELIST SKIP WITH DRAW ING LARGE CROWS. Petersburg, Va., Metropolitan Baptist Church—Rev. E. Tartte, pastor. The great mid summer revival being conducted by Rev. Wm. H. Skip with, B. D. the leading evangelist and singer of our race, is still the centre of attraction for crowds of people who have been pressing their way into the church for the past 3 weeks. He has been moving his audiences with great power of eloquence, so forcible were the truths of the gospel put forth, until men women and children severed their connection with their old way of living and made public confession of the new. His theme on "The Vacant Seat" was a masterpiece. The church was packed to its utmost capacity, many stood on the outside at the windows and doors, eagerly taking in the gas pel truths. Shouts of Amen Hallelujahs could be heard from all sides as the power of the gospel would fall upon their ears, many were moved to tears. On Sunday last at 3:30 P. M., he spoke to over 800 women from the subject: "The Glory of a Nation." Women of every walk of life were present. Dr. Skipwith spoke and sang so pathetically until the glory of God filled the temple. Heaven came down on souls to greet and glory crowned the mercy seat. Fifty united with the Church.

TIME IS LETTING--KEEP POGTED PRICE, FIVE CENTS EDITOR MITCHELL'S TRAVELS A Visit to Harlem—Colored People Nurseries—Dr. Brown's Great Work, The Patterson Apartments— Prominent Colored Men Active— The Libya Club. I left Richmond today night. August 8th for New York, John T. Taylor, Jr. carried me to the Broad St Station in that large seven pass enter Oth mobile. I was soon comfortably seated awaiting my turn for the mink down of a birth. A white gentle man who was to occupy the upper birth was very sociable and we dis cused existing conditions for some time. When I went to sleep almost time. When I went to bed I went to sleep almost immediately. When I awoke the train was somewhere in New Jersey and running late. I passed into the Pennsylvania Station in New York and after looking around to get my heartings entered the din ning room for breakfast. ALL TOOK THE HINT The menu was extensive, but the waiter in passing the card kept his thumbnail on one place. It read, "Hum and Elige." I took the him and on looking around, I found that every one else had done the same thing, with the exception of corn cakes or batter cakes. When I had eaten I placed satchell in the parcel check room and then started up town to visit Harlem. There was a strike of elevated and surface street carmen in Brooklyn but to my surprise it had not materially affected traffic in New York city proper. COLORED FOLKS NUMEROUS I was soon at 131st St. and Lenox Avenue. In this neighborhood, I found a veritable Jackson ward of Richmond in former years. From every palatial flat, where white people had formerly lived, I could see the dark complexion of a former resident of the Southland. The Street loungers were everywhere in evidence, but I saw no sign of disorder I passed along 131st Street and saw the door plate of Rev. Sines. He was away on his vacation. Then I read, "Rev. W. W. Brown pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist Church." THE FIFTEENTH NEW YORK HEADQUARTERS He had been my friend and admirer of many years standing and I was soon in his fine apartments with every evidence of refinement surrounding him. He greeted me cordially and I promised to return to visit and inspect his church edifice. I strolled up to the corner, where I saw the Headquarters of the 15th New York Infantry. Here I met Mr. Henry A. Wallace, Lieutenant H. E. Gee and Lieutenant Colonel Charles W. Filmore. I enquired about that master politician and office holder, Hom. Charles W. Anderson. REGIMENT NOT WIPED OUT They were expecting him at any moment. Col. Filmore was disposed to be communicative at first, but a reference to the Planet shut him up and he was surprised to find out who it was talking to him in a manner to which he was not accustomed. I secured the information though that the New York Fifteenth Regiment under Col. Haywood was not really wiped out. Four hundred men or there abouts had been lost out of abouts three thousand. A FINE STRUCTURE I went over to the Lafayette theatre. The box office was open but the management had not come down and so I went back to the Fifteenth New York Headquarters and continued my bouncing talk with that handsome magnificent specimen of manhood, Lieutenant Colonel Charles W. Fillmore. He had lost his wife by death, while overcrased, but he looked the picture of health and happiness in that Palm Beach suit and Panama hat, reorganized Fifteenth New York. They are calling for recruits for the When I was tethered into the fine residence of New W. W. Brown again he had a visiting, but we went to the Metropolitan Baptist Church, that the white congregation had sold to the small colored congregation. AN ASSISTANT PASTOR This church edifice has every modern convenience. Rev. Dr. Brown has been provided with an assistant pastor in the person of his son, who draws $1,200.00 per year. While the pastor is prescribing to a packed house unattracts, the son, the assistant pastor is delivering the message to an overseeing, throng down attests. The congregation has paid $29,500 on the church. Prior to this, it had ex- (Continued on the Second Page.) SATURDAY...AUGUST 23, 1919 SENATOR SHOWS DANGER TO U. S. A. IN ANY SUBMISSION TO FOREIGN DICTATION. ONLY ONE FLAG FOR U. S. Roosevelt and Cleveland Are Cited in Appeal to Preserve Americanism. Washington, Aug. 12.—A demonstration such as has not occurred in the Senate within the 130 years of its existence greeted Senator Lodge (Mass.) today at the end of an exhaustive address on the League of Nations. Throughout his long speech the Senate and galleries had sat tense, repressing even the coughs and wheezes which ordinarily characterize a restive audience, but when the Senator finished, grasped his manuscript and started from his desk pandemonium broke in the dignified chamber. Despite the rigid rule against applause the galleries joined the floor in the demonstration. The hand-clapping failed to suffice as the excitement and enthusiasm grew. Men and women rose in their seats cheering and crying. Hats and hankerchiefs were waved, and from an obscure corner of the men's gallery a one legged marine, balancing on his left crutch, flourished the right with one hand and beat time with his shrapnel helmet in the other. Shrill yells and wild whistles added to the din, throughout which Vice president Marshall sat tolerantly smiling. After the phenomenal outburst had subsided the Vice President rapped decorously for order and was obeyed. Meanwhile the Senate had witnessed a scene which cellapsed even the episode of the receipt on the floor of Rear Admiral Sampson's telegram and announcing the demolition of Cervera's fleet July 4, 1898 and beside which the appearance of the President and outburst of fervor which followed even the vote on the declaration of war were insignificant. INDEPENDENCE IS MOST PRECIOUS. "The independence of the United States is not alone more precious to ourselves, but to the world, than any single possession." This was the keynote of Senator Lodge's speech, which was distinctly a plea for continued adherence to that policy of individualistic nationalism which has marked the past life of America. "We would not have our country's vigor exhausted or her moral force abated by everlasting meddling and muddling in every quarrel great and small which afflicts the world," was another thought which Senator Lodge hammered home in the last phrases of his address which he coupled with "Our ideal is to make her ever strong and better and finer, because in that way alone can she be of the great est service to the world's peace and to the welfare of mankind." It was Senator Lodge's principal argument that America's course in the past, a growing, upstanding, peaceful nation, fighting only for principles and never for power, free from ambitions to interfere in the regulation of international disagreements, geographically and racially disparate from the business of America should not be forsaken now in the chaos of present day affairs. CHIEF OBJECTIONS ARE SET FORTH. In his criticism of the shortcomings of President Wilson's League of Nations covenant Senator Lodge confined himself to the four principal deficiencies pointed out by Republican critics of the scheme generally, The right of withdrawal, he asserted must be guaranteed; the Monroe Doctrine must be reasserted in unmistakable and unambiguous language; the constitutional powers of the Congress and the people ever American partcipation in war making must be set forth to the world in the modifications of the covenant which shall be asserted in reservations and the rights or America in her internal economies must not be sacrificed. His references to the President were indirect, but none the less definite. "We are told that we shall 'break the heart of the world' if we do not take this 'league juss' as it stands. I fear that the hearts of the vast majority of mankind would beat on strongly and steadily and without any quickening if the league were to perish altogether," said the Senator. Again by an animadversion the Re publican leader drew attention to Mr. Wilson's attitude saying: "No doubt many excellent and patriotic people see a coming fulfilment of noble ideals in the words 'league of peace' We all respect and share these aspirations and desires but some of us see no hope but rather defeat for them in this murky covenant. For we, to have our ideals even if we differ from those who have tried to estalish a monopoly of idealism." VISION UNREAL AND DELUSIVE Once more Senator Lodge rallied the Chief Executive when he asserted: "We bear much of visions and I trust we shall continue to have visions and dream dreams of a fairer future for the race, but visions are one thing and visiories are another and the mechanical appliances of the rhetorician designed to give a picture of a present, which does not exist and Take no chances; get the best.

He began his speech with the remark that Senator Lodge's address had represented the effort of months of preparation and he regretted he was compelled to make an im promptu response, but he went on to say that Senator Lodge was assuming a monopoly on Americanism and this was quite too much for the at ready turbulent galleries. A chorus of hisses followed the thrust of the Mississippiian and the Vice President was compelled to warn the galleries that "applause" was forbidden. --- You should aim to get your news from a source that has your interest at heart.

SATURDAY.....AUGUST 23, 1919 SENATOR SHOWS DANGER TO U. S. A. IN ANY SUBMISSION TO FOREIGN DICTATION. ONLY ONE FLAG FOR U. S. Roosevelt and Cleveland Are Cited in Appeal to Preserve Americanism. Washington, Aug. 12--A demonstration such as has not occurred in the Senate within the 130 years of its existence greeted Senator Lodge (Muss.) today at the end of an exhaustive address on the League of Nations. Throughout his long speech the Senate and galleries had sat tense, repressing even the coughs and wheezes which ordinarily characterize a restive audience, but when the Senator finished, grasped his manuscript and started from his desk pandemonium broke in the dignified chamber. Despite the rigid rule against ap- plause the galleries joined the floor in the demonstration. The hand-lapping failed to suffice as the excitement and enthusiasm grew. Men and women rose in their seats cheering and crying. Hats and hankerchiefs were waved, and from an obscure corner of the men's gallery a one legged marine, balancing on his left crutch, flourished the right with one hand and beat time with his shrapnel helmet in the other. Shrill yells and whistles added to the din, throughout which Vice president Marshall sat tolerantly smiling. After the phonemal outburst had subsided the Vice President rapped decorously for order and was obeyed. Meanwhile the Senate had witnessed a scene which eclipsed even the episode of the receipt on the floor of Rear Admiral Sampson's telegram annoting the demolition of Cervera's fleet July 4, 1898 and beside which the appearance of the President and outburst of fervor which followed even the vote on the declaration of war were insignificant. INDEPENDENCE IS MOST PRECIOUS "The independence of the United States is not alone more precious to ourselves, but to the world, than any single possession." This was the keynote of Senator Lodge's speech, which was distinctly a plea for continued adherence to that policy of individualistic nationalism which has marked the past life of America. "We would not have our country's vigor exhausted or her moral force abated by everlasting meddling and muddling in every quarrel great and small which affiicts the world," was another thought which Senator Lodge hammered home in the last phrases of his address which he coupled with "Our ideal is to make her ever strong er and better and finer, because In that way alone can she be of the great ect service to the world's peace and to the welfare of mankind." It was Senator Lodge's principal argument that America's course in the past, a growing, upstanding, peaceful nation, fighting only for principles and never for power, free from ambitions to interfere in the regulation of international disagreements, geography and racially disparate from the business of America should not be forsaken now in the chaos of present day affairs. CHIEF OBJECTIONS ARE SET FORTH. In his criticism of the shortcomings of President Wilson's League of Nations covenant Senator Lodge confined himself to the four principal deficiencies pointed out by Republican critics of the scheme generally, The right of withdrawal, he asserted must be guaranteed; the Monroe Doctrine must be reasserted in munistable and unambiguous language; the constitutional powers of the Congress and the people over American participation in war making must be set forth to the world in the modifications of the covenant which shall be asserted in reservations and the rights or America in her internal economies must not be sacrificed. His references to the President were indirect, but none the less detinute. "We are told that we shall 'break the heart of the world' if we do not take this league jus. as it stands. I feel that the hearts of the vast majority of mankind would beat on strongly and steadily and without any quickening if the league were to perish altogether," said the Senator. Again by an animadversion the Re publican leader drew attention to Mr. Wilson's attitude saying: "No doubt many excellent and patriotic people see a coming fulfilment of noble ideals in the words 'league of peace' We all respect and share these aspirations and desires but some of us see no hope but rather defeat for them in this murky covenant. For we, too have our ideals even if we differ from those who have tried to estalish a monopoly of idolatism." VISION UNREAL AND DELUSIVE Once more Senator Lodge rallied the Chief Executive when he asserted: "We bear much of visions and I trust we shall continue to have visions and dream dreams of a faire future for the race, but visions are one thing and visioraries are another and the mechanical appliances of the rhetorician designed to give a picture of a present which does not exist and future which no man can predict USE Reginall Cocoa Balm America's Greatest Hair Grower Ladies, Make Your Hair Long and Beautiful!

He began his speech with the remark that Senator Lodge's address had represented the effort of months of preparation and he regretted he was compelled to make an imprompt response, but he went on to say that Senator Lodge was assuming a monopoly on Americanism and this was quite too much for the al ready turbulent galleries. A chorus of hisses followed the thrust of the Mississippiian and the Vice President was compelled to warn the galleries that "applause" was forbidden --- You should aim to get your news from a source that has your interest at heart.

Miss Margaret Wilson, daughter of the President, starting one of the races at the athletic event held at the stadium of the New Central High School in Washington to raise funds for a community carnival, which is to be held in the Capital next month. The naval officer shown is Admiral Grand, U. S. N. Paris, Friday (by the Associated Press.) —The government was interpellated in the Chamber of Deputies this afternoon on the rough treatment French Negro soldiers are alleged to have received from the American military police in French ports. The questions were asked by Mr. Boisneuf and Mr. Lagrosillere, Negro Deputies respectively from Guadeloupe and Martinique. The debate that ensued ended with the unanimous adoption of the following resolutions: "The Chamber faithful to the immortal principles of the rights of man, condemning all prejudices of religion, caste or race, solemnly affirms the absolute equality of all men without distinction of race or color, and their right to the benefit and protection of all the laws of the country. The Chamber counts upon the government to apply these laws and see that the necessary penalties for their infringement are inflicted. Jules Pams, Minister of the interior, replying to the Negro Deputies, said that the government had applied penalties and asked them not to in sist upon a discussion of "the very regrettable incidents as France does not forget the services rendered by her Negro sons." The Minister of the Interior added that American government had not hesitated to express regrets in terms that did France the greatest honor. Mr. Pams asked Deputy Boisneuf for reasons of "high diplomacy" to drop the subject. The Deputy said he would not speak of questions that involved diplomacy, but he protested against the complicity of the French military authorities in these incidents. He then read a confidential circular to French officers attached to the American army, setting forth how American opinion did not tolerate "familiarity between whites and blacks." And it is America that wants a society of nations! interjected Charles Bernard, a Deputy from the Seine. The circular wasn't signed by Wilson, shouted Deputy Mayeras (Socialist from the Seine) in reply to Mr. Bernard. KILLED HER OWN MOTHER Petersburg, Va. August 13.—Walter Johnson, colored who had just returned from overseas was shot and instantly killed late this afternoon by his sister Eulah Brown, according to the police. The shooting occurred in Pig Alley just in front of the home of Johnson's mother, where his sister lived. The cause of the shooting is said to have been family trouble. Johnson had threatened to whip his sister's child it is claimed and his sister would not allow him. He chased his sister out of the rear of the house and caught her again in front of the house and renewed the quarrel. Johnson started after his sister with a knife, she claims and she drew a pistol and fired at him twice. The first bullet struck him in the neck. The second struck him in Greetings to Baptists of U.

Paris, Friday (by the Associated Press.) — The government was interpellated in the Chamber of Deputies this afternoon on the rough treatment French Negro soldiers are alleged to have received from the American military police in French ports. The questions were asked by Mr. Boisneuf and Mr. Lagrosilière, Negro Deputies respectively from Guadeloupe and Martinique. The debate that ensued ended with the unanimous adoption of the following resolutions: "The Chamber faithful to the immortal principles of the rights of man, condemning all prejudices of religion, caste or race, solemnly affirms the absolute equality of all men without distinction of race or color, and their right to the benefit and protection of all the laws of the country. The Chamber counts upon the government to apply these laws and see that the necessary penalties for their infringement are inflicted. Jules Pams, Minister of the interior, replying to the Negro Deputies, said that the government had applied penalties and asked them not to in sist upon a discussion of "the very regrettable incidents as France does not forget the services rendered by her Negro sons." The Minister of the Interior added that American government had not hesitated to express regrets in terms that did France the greatest honor. Mr. Pams asked Deputy Boisseau for reasons of "high diplomacy" to drop the subject. The Deputy said he would not speak of questions that involved diplomacy, but he protested against the complicity of the French military authorities in these incidents. He then read a confidential circular to French officers attached to the American army, setting forth how American opinion did not tolerate "familiarity between whites and blacks." And it is America that wants a society of nations! interjected Charles Bernard, a Deputy from the Seine. The circular wasn't signed by Wilt son, shouted Deputy Mayeras (Socialist from the Seine) in reply to Mr. Bernard. Petersburg, Va. August 13—Walter Johnson, colored who had just returned from overseas was shot and instantly killed late this afternoon by his sister Eulah Brown, according to the police. The shooting occurred in Pig Alley just in front of the home of Johnson's mother, where his sister lived. The cause of the shooting is said to have been family trouble. Johnson had threatened to whip his sister's child it is claimed and his sister would not allow him. He chased his sister out of the rear of the house and caught her again in front of the house and renewed the quarrel. Johnson started after his sister with a knife, she claims and she drew a pistol and fired at him twice. The first bullet struck him in the neck. The second struck him in Greetings to Baptists of U.

He then opened fire on her and Hopson ran into the house. He pursued hin, although Mrs. Jackson tried to shut the door and get a chair under the knoh to keep him out.

He said that if they thought ho Took it, thoy could take the amount out of a $90.00 allot. ment that his wife had received and they did so. REFUSED TO LIVE WITT TIM She said that she refused to go to live with h‘m after this, as she did not consider him honest and did not wish to live with a person of that character. The holes made by — the bultets could be plainty seen. As he fired more than six t'mes, the imoression was that he relanded the weanon. Mrs. Jnckcon believes that he intended to kill her also.

HEY PLANET IT COULD BE WORSE My friend do not forget when you Are out of sorts and feeling blue, And can't be gay, still it is true It could be worse. If you have ache, or pain, or hurt; Have lost the buttons off your shirt, Or are knee deep in mud and dirt, It could be worse. Theo you have boils upon your nose Or painful corns upon your toes, Or like some girls are short of clothes It could be worse. If you have only fowls to eat; Are short of beef and good hog meat, Still at the table keep your seat, It could be worse. If your egg-nog is running short And you are down to your last quart Do not cut capers, rip and snort, It could be worse. When down in your flat pocket book You on your last good dollar book; Still fight it out by hook or crook; It could be worse. Or if you fin dyourself quite sick, And beats your fevered! pulse too quick. Still be what brave men call a brick, It could be worse.

THE AMERICAN BANKERS ASSOCIATION. We discussed the financial condition of the colored people and he out lined his wishes relative to making a report for the Committee on Thrift among the Colored People. He listened with intense interest to my description of present day conditions and the relationship between the white and colored people. He was so intensely interested that he handed me two dollars to pay for one year's subscription to the Planet. I left him with a hearty hand shake and with the promise that I would have the report ready within the specified time. A BALLON. When I went in u pNassau street I saw a large crowd gathered. The news boys were in possession of a side street playing ball. Then some mischievous office boy had thrown much water from one of the upper stories upon the crowd below. They scattered only to return and resume the contest. Some of them had been thoroughly wet by the sudden down pour. I went into the Sun Building where Attorney Wilford Smith has offices. We had an extended convection although I was in a hurry. THE COLORED PLAYGOERS When I started up town again I was directed to the Woolworth building where I took the subway for Harlem. I went to the Lafayette Theatre. The outward appearance or this playhouse is all that could be desired. Colored folks had packed the place. Mr. Levy, the smiling promoter led me to the rear of the stage and for the first time in my life I was behind the scenes while the play was in progress. The Billy King aggregation of acts were busily engaged in entertaining the public. MR. WORTHAM'S HOSPITALITY. Banker E. C. Brown had sent me a letter tendering me his apartments in the Pavton Apartments during my stay in New York. He had assigned to the diplomatic Mr. William H. Wortham the task of entertaining me. It was not long before he was over to meet me and then for dinner at the Libya Club, on Seventh Avenue from 139th to 140th. I had not proceeded a block before I came face to face with Hon. Charles W. Anderson, exCommissioner of Internal Revenue for New York City. With him was Lieutenant Colonel Charles W. Filmore. THAT TWO PER CENT BEER They proceeded at once to show me the sights of Harlem. The country is "dry" but New York city is "wet" under the two per cent beer ruling. I do not mean to infer that any of my companions were addicted to the use of intoxicants. I was their guest and after a short time found my self in a mansion that occupied an entire block. It belonged to an estate and the rocks, trees, grass an shrubs bery made a strange scene here in the heart of New York. Colored enterprising men had leased it and opened a first class hostelry known as Libya Club. EXISTING CONDITIONS I was shown through those spacious rooms and halls, the kitchen, the pantry and then I looked out upon the grounds surrounding. I went to the dining room where luncheon was soon served and Mr. Wortham and I talked about existing conditions in this country. I had well nigh finished the fine repast served to me, when should come in but that brilliant leader, Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, editor of the New York Crisis and now very much in the limelight, due to his exposures of the wrongs perpetrated upon the colored troops in France and his caustic criticism of that able leader, Hon. Emmett J. Scott. DR. DUBOIS THERE TOO He selected a small table at the other end of the room to be served and despite our protests insisted up on service there. Not to be outdone, after our repast Nad been eaten, we moved to his location and I discussed his attitude in the recent unpleasantness and his desire to be desk captain at Washington. He explained that in the matter of salary, he did not desire to increase his present salary as a prerequisite to holding the position, but only wanted his pres ent salary equalled in the position in the War Department. A QUESTION OF SALARY This was a matter of six hundred dollars per annum. He explained to me in detail, how the holding of a position in the Intelligence Bureau of the War Department would have enabled him to be of untold service to the colored troops in this country and in France. I left him just as he was summing up his recital and winding up the desert that he had lavishly ordered. Dr. Dublois was the picture of health. He dotes of an eighteen year old daughter whom I have never seen. Then in company with Mr. Worthham. I went the magnificent Payton Apartments that loomed up like millionaires row in the great city. COLORED CORPORATIONS These apartments are palatial. They have all modern conveniences. The Philip A. Payton, Jr., Co. Hilmon Realty Corporation and the Philton Holding Co., Inc., with the banking firm of Brown and Stevens as Flasel Agents hold sway here in the midst of these expensive surroundings. They are now owned and controlled by colored people. It was to this great vantage that Mr. William H. Wortham was introducing me. He explained that the flats were leased at ten dollars per room. There were four room and six room apartments and it may be that there are eight room apartments. A CHANGE OF TENANTS. The buildings are electrically lighted, steam heated with every modern convenience. Some of these palatial apartment houses have marble fronts and from the windows, doors and fire escapes smiled down upon us the countenances of the sons and daughters of Ham, the representatives in this country of Africa. It looked like a change in a night. White people had hurriedly decamped and colored folks, springing almost out of the ground had come in to pay the price and to take possession. SOME UNWORTHY OCCUPANTS The only regret seemed to be and Mr. Worthain spoke sadly that with the thousands, who had taken advantage of these golden opportunities came hundreds who did not know how to occupy a first class apartment and who did not care to learn how to live decently therein to the extent of caring for the property and seeing to it that the next occupant would not require a complete renovation and repair of those same quarters. I was thinking deeply as I sank into one of those comfortable chairs and later rested my tired body in that bed pro provided for me in Banker W. C. Brown's apartment. BILLY KING'S PRODUCTIONS But I was to go to the Lafayette Theatre that night to see Billy King of Chicago in his inimitable production, "They're Off." Mr. Levy had directed that special accommodations he reserved for my benefit and so a polite miss relieved me of a sus picious package that I was carrying and then I sat down to await the rise of the curtain. A female orchestra rendered selections and the curtain rose at 8:30 instead of 8:15 as I had been informed that it would rise. The scenery was fine and the characters performed their part to the in finite satisfaction of the audience. THE SCENIC BATTLE I did not know Billy King and no one would ever have believed that the one would ever have believed that the humorist and good for nothing character, with blackened face, who with his caused the audience to roll with laughter, under the cogment of Buster and Ready, the two Billies, Billy King and Billy Higgins was the moving spirit in the play. They had an airplane and steamer battle. Then a girl took a flight in the dark in the airplane over the audience. A submarine attack wa salso a part of the scenic display. MR. WALTON AND NEW YORK. It was 11 o'clock and after that hour when I went out with Mr. Lester A. Walton, the brilliant theatrical correspondent of the New York Age and the future manager of the Lafayette Theatre. I failed to state that the fine Libya Club is managed by the proprietors, Mr. G. B. Buckner and Mr. Robert E. Keyes. They are past masters at the business. But to Mr. Walton. He carried me to a place known as the Dolphin I found myself in a cabaret. They had been having "a high old time in this place on Lenox Avenue and 135th Street. There was not a sign of disorder. Dancing was permitted and several couples both white and colored waltz ed over the floor, while the sign plainly displayed read "No Shimming dancing allowed." SPENDING MONEY. As I did not know the meaning of this, I presumed that it was a kind of dancing that I had never seen. I sat down at one of the numerous tables with Mr. Walton. It seemed as though the dark part of the South land had migrated to New York. All were spending money too. I sat there spent some money too. I sat there in silent wonderment closely observing the aristocratic looking head waiter who seemed to be in charge, white the white proprietor saw to it that everybody was promptly served. HAD EATEN ENOUGH. There was some delay in waiting on us. A word from Mr. Walton to this white proprietor or manager brought a colored waiter with apologies. He lingered long enough to ask about "Buck" Miller in Richmond and then he was off again. I had seen enough and I had eaten enough. I wanted to go to my apartments and Mr. Walton accompanied me there. For the first time in my life I proceeded to enter one of these palatial buildings to spend the night. I was soon up stairs, turned on the electric light and found myself the only occupant of Mr. Brown's comfortable apartments. friends in Richmond. This place would have been "a heaven" to them. But I was here alone. Six or more rooms were at my disposal. An office was down stairs and my rooming apartments were upstairs just one flight and I read until I was tired. Then I turned out the electric light stretched myself out upon the scrup ulously clean and white single bed and fell asleep. I had been told to go to the Libya Club for breakfast, but the thoughts of home overcame me. RIDING IN THE SUBWAY I did not wait for Mr. Wortham's return that morning. I took the sub way for the Pennsylvania Station and caught the 8:08 train for Philadelphia. I ate breakfast on the dining car and when I arrived in Philadelphia, I sought Mr. B. G. Collier, finding him at the Pythian Temple. He has a church going there too, but no one charged him with being a member of it. While the religion was being passed around, he was in the Grand Chancellor's office. At the door was his seven passenger Nation al. A LENGTHY PRAYER. He discussed various subjects and finally I decided to visit the Holy Trinity Church. A divine was delivering a lengthy prayer. He told God all about our troubles. The church was packed, even standing room being at a premium. Rev. Dr. W. F. Graham spoke. He ascertained that I was in the church and I finally spoke to the congregation, although my time was limited. I left West Philadelphia at 3:20 for Washington and Richmond and arrived at the latter place at about 11:30 Sunday night after a most pleasant journey. JOHN MITCHELL JR --- M. H. H.

AT THE AGE OFFICE He was enthusiastic over the prospects for the colored people in New York. I left him and hurried down town by the subway. I called at the New York Age office and met Hon. Fred R. Moore the picture of health and the redoubtable Hon. Jerome Peterson. W. H. Quick of North Carolina is in charge of the printing De partment. Mr. Lester A. Walton was busy at his desk there also. We discussed present day issues and when I left there I was to go down in Wall Street and then to the offices of the American Bankers Association where Mr. M. W. Harrison cordially greet me. THE AMERICAN BANKERS ASSOCIATION. We discussed the financial condition of the colored people and he outlined his wishes relative to making a report for the Committee on Thrift among the Colored People. He listened with intense interest to my description of present day conditions and the relationship between the white and colored people. He was so intensely interested that he handed me two dollars to pay for one year's subscription to the Planet. I left him with a hearty hand shake and with the promise that I would have the report ready within the specified time. A. BALLON. When I went into pNassasau street I saw a large crowd gathered. The news boys in possession of a side street playing ball. Then some mischievous office boy had thrown much water from one of the upper stories upon the crowd below. They scattered out to return and resume the contest. Some of them had been thoroughly wet by the sudden down pour. I went into the Sun Buildings where Attorney Wilford Smith has offices. We had an extended conversation although I was in a hurry. THE COLQRED PLAYGOERS When I started up town again I was directed to the Woolworth building where I took the subway for Harlem. I went to the Lafayette Theatre. The outward appearance of this playhouse is all that could be desired. Colored folks had packed the place. Mr. Levy, the smiling promoter led me to the rear of the stage and for the first time in my life I was behind the scenes while the play was in progress.

It belonged to an estate and the rocks, trees, grass an shrubbery made a strange scene here in the heart of New York.

EXISTING CONDITIONS I was shown through those sparkling rooms and halls, the kitchen, the pantry and then I looked out upon the trounds surrounding. I went to the dinning room where luncheon was soon served and Mr. Wortham and I talked about existing conditions in this country. I had well high finished the fine repast served to me, when who should come in but that brilliant leader, Dr. W. E. B. Duittis, editor of the New York Crisis and now very much in the lighted, due to his exposures of the wrongs perpetrated upon the colored troops in France, and his caustic criticism of that able leader, Hon.

I was thinking deeply as I sank into one of those comfortable chairs and later rested my tired body in that bed pro provided for me in Banker W. C. Brown's apartment. BILLY KING'S PRODUCTIONS But I was to go to the Lafayette Theatre that night to see Billy King of Chicago in his immutable production, "They're Off." Mr. Levy had directed that special accommodations be reserved for my benefit and so a polite miss relieved me of a suspicious package that I was carrying and then I sat down to await the rise of the curtain. A female orchestra rendered selections and the curtain rose at $20 instead of $15 as I had been informed that it would rise. The scenery was fine and the characters performed their part to the in finite satisfaction of the audience. THE SCENIC BATTLE I did not know Billy King and no one would ever have believed that the one would ever have believed that the humorist and good for nothing character, with blackened face, who with his caused the audience to roll with laughter, under the cogment of Buster and Ready, the two Billies, Billy King and Billy Higgins, was the moving spirit in the play. They had an airplane and steamer battle. Then a girl took a flight in the dark in the airplane over the audience. A submarine attack wa salso a part of the scenic display. MR. WALTON AND NEW YORK. It was 11 o'clock and after that hour when I went out with Mr. Lexter A. Walton, the brilliant theatrical correspondent of the New York Age and the future manager of the Lafayette Theatre. I failed to state that the fine Libya Club is managed by the proprietors, Mr. G. B. Buckner and Mr. Robert E. Keyes. They are past masters at the business. But to Mr. Walton. He carried me to a place known as the Dolphin I found myself in a cabinet. They had been having "a high old time in this place on Lenox Avenue and 135th Street. There was not a sign of disorder. Dancing was permitted and several couples both white and colored waltz over the floor, while the sign plainly displayed read "No Shiminuing dancing allowed."

I wanted to go to my apartments and Mr. Walton accompanied me there. For the first time in my life I proceeded to enter one of these palatial buildings to spend the night. I was soon up stairs, turned on the electric light and found myself the only occupant of Mr. Brown's comfortable apartments. FELL ASLEEP I thought of some of my good time friends in Richmond. This place would have been "a heaven" to them, But I was here alone. Six or more rooms were at my disposal. An office was down stairs, and my rooming apartments were upstairs just one flight and I read until I was tired. Then I turned out the electric light stretched myself upon the scrupulously clean and white single bed and fell asleep. I had been told to go to the Libya Club for breakfast, but the thoughts of home overcame me. RIDING IN THE SUBWAY I did not wait for Mr. Worlham's return that morning.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES One Year.....$2.00 Six Months.....11.00 Three Months.....6.00 Foreign Subscriptions.....2.50 SATURDAY.....AUGUST 23, 1919 Much of the trouble that we encounter is caused by our own blundering. The press is no longer free and outspoken. War conditions exist when there is no war. People, who envy other people's prosperity are very much like the cow's tail, they are always behind. Human life seems to be cheap in all parts of the country. Getting in to a grave yard in a decent manner is high. The Irish Republic proclaims that it exists in something else than a name. Great Britain is answering this claim with machine guns and rifles. Thousands of people labor to find out those people who work and save their earnings and then they make the effort of their lives to obtain these same earnings without giving an equivalent for the earnings that they obtain Colored folks who are polite and obliging and energetic and industrious are never out of a job and they do not go around looking for employment. Laboring men and skilled mechanics are not only striking against the courts of the land but against the Government. In New York city an infunction was disregarded. The Atlanta Independent, Mr. B. J. Davis, editor, claims a sweeping decision and an unqualified victory in the report handed down by Auditor R. H. Hill. It enjoins the Sub Committee of Management from setting up another District Grand Lodge in the State of Georgia and sertiously embarrasses the loyal members of the B. M. C. in Georgia. Whenever a complaint is made, it is referred to an investigating committee or turned over to one of the departments at Washington for a report. The talk now is about the high cost of living. The Department of (in) Justice was ordered to investigate conditions and that Depart ment immediately asked for an additional appropriation of a million and a half dollars in order to do this, instead of recommending that this amount be expended in order to purchase food for the people in this country who are starving. This is the modern political way of fooling the citizens of the United States. PRESENT DAY CONDITIONS. It begins to look as though the nations of the world have abandoned great principles and that the statesmen of today have bowed to the god of Mammon and are trying to exe cute his decrees. Stupendous wages are being paid men who work and men who shirk work. The Govern ment has been called upon to guaran tee a profit upon products and credit it has been inflated by the represen tatives of the people. High wages have been demanded and the country has been flooded with cheap money. The laws of supply and demand have been dis regarded and the rights of the individuals have been sacrificed. August judges and conscientious solons have been supplanted by numbers of grasping politicians who have in many instances framed decrees in accordance with the demands of the mob rather than in accordance with the experiences of centuries. This has brought the law making and the law interpreting departments of the government into contempt. Mobs roam throughout the country at will. Strikes are now being inaugurated against the Government itself and even the President of the nation has been threatened and his requests disregarded. What will be the end of all of this? Colored men's rights have been trampled upon so long that white men's rights are now affected. Property rights have been sacrificed and the individual looks on in wonderment as the guarantees of the law are disregarded. The point is being reached where each man will be forced to defend himself and his family. The accumulations of years are now being threatened and the Government not only assumes the right to command a citizen's life at will, but his property as well. The end of this state of affairs cannot be seen in the near future but that there must be an end is grimly apparent to every student of history and devotee of great principles. Some people would workasmuel as they pray they would never wan for any of this world's goods. PRESIDENT WILSON'S ADMISSION In a last desperate effort to secure the ratification of the peace treaty negotiated by him and the Allies in Paris, President Woodrow Wilson, on Tuesday August 19, 1919 met the Committee on Foreign Relations of the United States Senate in a conference. He submitted a prepared statement and then, shattering the precedents of centuries submitted him self to a virtual cross examination at the hands of the members of this Committee. The facts disclosed were astounding. He admitted that our Allies had deliberately broken pledge after pledge and had flagrantly violated the terms of the armistice made with Germany. His disclosures of secret agreements, previously made without his knowledge and consent showed that the basis of the peace agreement, commonly known as "Wilson's Fourteen Points was practically regarded as a veritable joke. The most remarkable part of the whole unfortunate air was his request that he treaty be ratified, pledging the United States Government to do certain things and then to accompany it with a statement that this Government would not do what it had pledged itself to do. The situation at the present time is not promising for the ratification of the instrument and the indications are that a wave of indignation will continue to sweep over the country against those, who are alleged to have deceived the distinguished statesman, who resides in the White House at Washington. THE RIGHTS OF THE BLACK MAN Conditions are growing worse, not better in Washington the capital of the United States, if we are to accredit the statements of the Washington Bee, edited by that veteran politician, attorney and journalist, W. Calvin Chase. The conditions that he describes read very much like the doings in Texas, Mississippi and Louisiana. It says: The rights of the people have been violated by a class of irresponsible people. The recent riot was started by certain soldiers and marines. When the colored men in the South west were attacked, they defended themselves. When they exorcised their constitutional rights, they were called "crapshooters and bootleggers." The attack upon colored citizens of every description, standing and occupation began Sunday, July 19. The colored citizens were taken by surprise. Colored women were taken from street cars and assaulted; colored men were also taken from street cars and assaulted, and the only persons arrested were colored citizens. Those who had arms to protect themselves were arrested and charged with carrying concealed weapons. They were carried to the Police Court, and no matter what their defense was, they were convicted. White men who were assaulting colored citizens were not arrested. Soldiers, marines and policemen sided with the white mob The killing of young Neal was one of the most cowardly murders that was ever perpetrated upon a young man who had been to France to fight for world democracy. At the time young Neal was killed he had comitted no offense. Colored citizens were told to disarm, while the white mob killed them. It is said that it was cavalry that kept the mob from invading South Washington and the Northwest colored section. It was the well organized citizens who were prepared to meet all invaders; it was the determination of the black man to protect his home his wife and his children; it was the determination of the law-abiding citizens to protect themselves, because the police authorities were powerless to protect them. As an evidence of that, Sergeant Detective Jackson was shot in the presence of his brave partner, while hundreds of the mob looked on. The time has come in the history of the colored Americans to protect themselves against the cow THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA ardly attacks of a mob, no matter what its nationality may be. The mob did not select those upon whom it committed assaults. No respectable colored person—woman or man—was respected. This is a ringing indictment, not only of the mob, but of the accredited representatives of the law. If the legal department in Washington will afford no protection to colored citizens, what must be expected by the legal departments in other sections of the country? The Bee continues: If colored citizens had been appointed on the police force, conditions would have been different. It is so strange that white women are qualified to serve as policewomen, regardless of their age, but colored men who saved the day upon French soil are not qualified to be appointed on the police force. No, no black man with flat feet was disqualified to serve in the recent war. No black man was too short to be drafted in to the army, but when it comes to ap pointing them on the police force, they are weighed in the balance and found too light, or measured with a tape measure and found too short, or they have flat feet. No doubt many a colored soldier who kept the Germans from invading France had flat feet, but the French generals found them to be the bravest and the most courageous soldiers. The black man is loyal to his country and its flag, and when his country fails to protect him, he means to protect himself. The question naturally arises, "What are you going to do about it?" Colored people in this locality have been busily engaged in fighting each other and they were not a unit when they were murderously attacked, although both factions looked alike to the white men, who were attempting to main, disable and kill any or all of them. We have insisted all along that the one to protect the black man, primarily is the black man. There is too much lip service in Washington among the colored folks and too little action. They have had their lesson. Will they profit by the boody July experiences? We shall see. ANNUAL MEETING SEPT. 23.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES One Year ..... $2.00 Six Months ..... 1.10 Three Months ..... 1.60 Foreign Subscriptions ..... 2.50 SATURDAY.....AUGUST 23, 1949 Much of the trouble that we encounter is caused by our own blind cring. The press is no longer free and outspoken. War conditions exist when there is no war. People, who envy other people's prosperity are very much like the cow's tail, they are always behind. --- Human life seems to be cheap if all parts of the country. Getting it to a grave yard in a decent manne is high. The Irish Republic proclaims that it exists in something else than a name. Great Britain is answering this claim with machine guns and rifles. Thousands of people labor to find out those people who work and save their earnings and then they make the effort of their lives to obtain these same earnings without giving an equivalent for the earnings that they obtain. Colored folks who are polite and obliging and energetic and industrious are never out of a job and they do not go around looking for employment. --- Laboring men and skilled mechanics are not only striking against the courts of the land but against the Government. In New York city an injunction was disregarded. The provided image is too blurry and low-resolution to accurately recognize any text. Therefore, no text can be extracted from this image. The Atlanta Independent, Mr. B. J. Davis, editor, claims a sweeping decision and an unqualified victory in the report handed down by Auditor R. H. HBL. It enjoins the Sub Committee of Management from setting up another District Grand Lodge in the State of Georgia and seriously embarrasses the loyal members of the B. M. C. in Georgia. ```markdown ``` Whenever a complaint is made, it is referred to an investigating committee or turned over to one of the departments at Washington for /a report. The talk now is about the high cost of living. The Department of (in) Justice was ordered to investigate conditions and that Department immediately asked for an additional appropriation of a million and a half dollars in order to do this, instead of recommending that this amount be expended in order to purchase food for the people in this country who are starving. This is the modern political way of fooling the citizens of the United States. --- PRESENT DAY CONDITIONS It begins to look as though the nations of the world have abandoned great principles and that the statesmen of today have bowed to the god of Mammon and are trying to execute his decrees. Stupendous wages are being paid men who work and men who shirk work. The Government has been called upon to guarantee a profit upon products and cred it has been inflated by the representatives of the people. High wages have been demanded and the country has been flooded with cheap money. The laws of supply and demand have been disregarded and the rights of the individuals have been sacrificed. August judges and conscientious solons have been supplanted by numbers of grasping politicians, who have in many instances framed decrees in accordance with the demands of the mob rather than in accordance with the experiences of centuries. This has brought the law making and the law interpreting departments of the government into contempt. Mobs roam throughout the country at will. Strikes are now being inaugurated against the Government itself and even the President of the nation has been threatened and his requests disregarded. What will be the end of all of this? Colored men's rights have been trampled upon so long time, white men's rights are now affected. Property rights have been sacrificed and the individual books on in wonderment as the guarantees of the law are d segrarded. The point is being reached where each man will be forced to defend himself, and his family. The accumulations of years are now being threatened and the Government not only assumes the right to contempt a citizen's life at wif, but it's property as well. The end of this state of affairs cannot be seen in the near future but that there must be an end is grimly apparent to every student of history and devotee of great principles. Some people would work asmuel as they pray they would never want for any of th's world's goods. ```markdown ``` PRESIDENT WILSON'S ADMISSION In a last desperate effort to secure the ratification of the peace treaty negotiated by him and the Allies in Paris, President Woodrow Wilson, on Tuesday August 19, 1919 met the Committee on Foreign Relations of the United States Senate in a conference. He submitted a prepared statement and then, shattering the precedents of centuries submitted him The facts disclosed were astounding. He admitted that our Allies had deliberately broken pledge after pledge and had flagrantly violated the terms of the armistice made with Germany. His disclosures of secret agreements, previously made without his knowledge and consent showed that the basis of the peace agreement, commonly known as "Wilson's Fourteen Points was practically regarded as a veritable Joke. The most remarkable part of the whole autortunate gair was his request that I treaty be satisfied pledging the United States Government to do certain things and then to accompany it with a statement that this Government would not do what it had pledged itself to do. The situation at the present time is not promising for the ratification of the instrument and the indications are that a wave of indignation will continue to sweep over the country against those, who are alleged to have deceived the distinguished statesman, who resides in the White House at Washington. --- THE RIGHTS OF THE BLACK MAN Conditions are growing worse, not better in Washington the capital of the United States, if we are to accredit the statements of the Washing ton Lee, edited by that veteran politician, attorney and journalist, W. Calvin Chase. The conditions that he describes read very much like the doings in Texas, Mississippi and Louisiana. It says; The rights of the people have been violated by a class of irresponsible people. The recent riot was started by certain soldiers, and marines. When the colored men in the South west were attacked, they defended themselves. When they exercised their constitutional rights, they were called "crapshooters and bootleggers." The attack upon colored citizens of every description, standing and occupation began Sunday, July 19. The colored citizens were taken by surprise. Colored women were taken from street cars and assaulted; colored men were also taken from street cars and assaulted, and the only persons arrested were colored citizens. Those who had arms to protect themselves were arrested and charged with carrying concealed weapons. They were carried to the Police Court, and no matter what their defense was, they were convicted. White men who were assaulting colored citizens were not arrested. Soldiers, marines and policemen sided with the white mob. The killing of young Neal was one of the most cowardly murders that was ever perpetrated upon a young man who had been to France to fight for world democracy. At the time young Neal was killed he had comitted no offense. Colored citizens were told to disarm, while the white mob killed them. It is said that it was cavalry that kept the mob from invading South Washington and the Northwest colored section. It was the well organized citizens who were prepared to meet all invaders; it was the determination of the black man to protect his home his wife and his children; it was the determination of the law-abiding citizens to protect themselves, because the police authorities were powerless to protect them. As an evidence of that, Sergeant Detective Jackson was shot in the presence of his brave partner, while hundreds of the mob looked on. The time has come in the history of the colored Americans to protect themselves against the cow THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA ardly attacks of a mob, no matter what its nationality may be. The mob did not select those upon whom it committed assaults. No respectable colored person—woman or man—was respected. This is a ringing indictment, not only of the mob, but of the accredited representatives of the law. If the legal department in Washington will afford no protection to colored citizens, what must be expected by the legal departments in other sections of the country? The Bee continues: It colored citizens had been appointed on the police force, conditions would have been different. It is so strange that white women are qualified to serve as policewomen, regardless of their age, but colored men who saved the day upon French soil are not qualified to be appointed on the police force. No, no black man with flat feet was disqualified to serve in the recent war. No black man was too short to be drafted to the army, but when it comes to ap pointing them on the police force, they are weighed in the balance and found too light, or measured with a tape measure and found too short, or they have flat feet. No doubt many a colored soldier who kept the Germans from invading France had flat feet, but the French generals found them to be the bravest and the most courageous soldiers. The black man is loyal to his country and its flag, and when his country fails to protect him, he means to protect himself. The question naturally arises, "What are you going to do about it?" Colored people in this locality have been busily engaged in fighting each other and they were not a unit when they were murderously attacked, although both factions looked alike to the white man, who were atterrapting to main, disable and kill any or all of them. We have instilled all along that the one to protect the black man, primarily is the black man. There is too much lip service in Washington among the colored folks and too little action. They have had their lesson. Will they profit by the boozy July expert ences? We shall see. ANNUAL MEETING SEPT. 23.

Proves Value of Persistence—Sends Open Letter to Council of Five —Peace Conference at Paris Made to Know the Truth—Fourteen Millions of America's citizens Will Applaud Effort. To the Supreme Council of the Five Great Powers, of the Allied and Associated Nations, Mr. George Clemencan, France; President Woodrow Wilson, United States, of America; Hon. Lloyd George, British Empire; M. Orlando, Italy; Baron Makino, Empire of Japan; Honorable Sirs: Greetings to the Victors from the National Equal Rights Legge of the U., S., of A. In the name of the Colored millions of America we address you in this an Open Letter and Appeal, and for the cause of World Democracy and Permanent World Peace. From the official records of the Congress of the U., S., of America the House of Representatives Published in the Congressional Record June 29 1918 we quote governmental conditions for 14.000000 Americans. First: We are the victims of civil proscription, socially because of race and color in three-fourths of the States and in the National Capital (Federal territory.) barred from places of public accommodation, recreation and resort; yes, from places within Government buildings. Second: We are the victims of class distinctions based solely on our race and color in public carriers in one-third of the States, segregated even when passengers in interstate travel and with the railroad under the control of the Federal Government. Third: We are the victims of caste and race prejudice in Governamental military and naval schools and in officiary schools with other citizens solely on the basis of race and color, and in the navy itself, except in the ser vice below deck. Fourth: We are the victims of pro-scriptive discrimination based on our race and color, in the executive department of the Federal Government, refused employment in many after appointment by the civil service segregated at work in the appointments of health and comfort. Fifth: We are the victims of political proscription in one third of the States, even in the election of Federal officials in violation of Federal Constitution, both indirectly by congressional representation based on disfranchisement and directly through intimidation trickery, or State statutes and constitutions. Sixth: We are the victims in many States, as a consequence of the forgoing civil and political proscription of imposition, robbery, ravishing, mob violence, murder and massacre, because of our race and color, denied the protection of police, shelters; denied trial by court and jury, rendered impotent to protect our daughters wives and mothers from violation by white men or murder by the mob. All these conditions thus declared by the National Colored Liberty Congress assembled at Washington and presented to the Congress by the present speaker of the House of Representatives are still facts. We quote further from the same Record "Our President Woodrow Wilson now the moral leader and spokesman of the Allie Nations who are resisting German aggression having officially declared that our country has entered the fight for the purpose of democratizing the nations of the world and liberating free peoples everywhere, that we are embarked upon "an enterprise which is to release the spirits of the world from bondage that we are "fighting for the right of those who submit to an authority to have a voice in their own government" to "make the world at least free" for security for "life and liberty" to make the world safe for democracy." To this add President Wilson's message to his country when the war was won: The armistice as signed this morning. Everything for which America fought has been accomplished. It will now be our fortunate duty to assist by example, by sober friendly counsel and by material aid in the establishment of just democracy throughout the world—with his word to the French nation in January, 1919. "America in coming into this war thought that all the world had now become conscious that there was a Single Cause of justice and of Liberty for men of every kind and place. Add also the words in the message of congratulation to President Wilson on the Victory by the Prime Minister of Great Britain. "I feel sure that at the peace conference we shall be able to cooperate faithfully to promote the reign of peace, within liberty and true democracy throughout the World." Then add the noble words of the Premier of France Monsieur Clemencan, to President Wilson on Memorial day for the dead soldiers: "Those sons of America who snipped in our common battle for Justice and fought for right repose in our fields where the Liberty of the World was won." Oh. Honorable Plenipotentiaries of an Agreement for Democracy for all shut not your eyes to this awful Disgrace of Democracy." Honorable Commissioners of Perpetual Peace imagine not that with such scandal on Humanity untouched your peace is just or will endure. There will be no peace secure until the color line in Rights is offaced. Hear ye our Petition that the same protection of equal rights and life for the ethnical minorities which you require for the Jews in vanquished Austria and restored Poland, you agree in your compact and League of Nations shall be vouchsafed to the Citizens respectively of the Allies and Associated Powers. For so long as a woman advances in holy prediguration and be hung with impurity by her heels to the limb of a tree by the mob her ablomen ripp of open and the head of her babe crushed under the heels of the lynchers as suffered the late Mary Turner in Georgia in the last year of this world war, the world has not been made a "fit place to live in," nor has frightfulness vanished from the earth with the Persian empire. Hear ye the petition of Colored America. Secretary and dellegate to Paris; 10 Place de Vource, Paris. - - + - - + - - HOW THE WHITE RIOTERS WORKED IN NEW YORK. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, today made public the following affidavit duly sworn to before a notary by a reputable colored man who was dragged from a street car and brutally assaulted. The affidavit reads as follows: "Monday, July 21, 1919, I was returning to Washington after having been out of town since Friday, July 18, 1919. I arrived at the Union Station at 12 P. M. Monday night and on entering the station noticed nothing unusual. I boarded a street car which went to Rockcreek Bridge via New Jersey Avenue and got a transfer to the Brightwood car line. When I reached 7th and Florida Avenue, N. W., the place of transfer, I noticed that things were as quiet as is usual by the case at that hour of the night. I waited there about five minutes for the Brightwood car and when it came I and a captain boarded it. I walked into the car and soon noticed that I was the only member of my race present except a lady whom I noticed later but not at this time. As I started to get a vacant seat a soldier put his arm across me and said, "Where are you going, niggy! I said to him that I was going to get a seat. As I was telling him that, I heard some others in the car saying, "Lynch him," Kill Him." Throw him out of the window, and at that time I was being grabbed from all sides. I forced my way to the rear door and was hit by something as I stepped off, which cut my car and brushed my head. As the car moved away the conductor fired three shots at me. It was as I got off the car that I noticed the lady on the car. What became of her I do not know. CHICAGO NOTES.
