From what the Planet can gather it is the opinion of this committee that insumuch as Allen did not have sufficient funds to employ proper and sufficient counsel that his case was not pushed with all the diligence that could be summoned. Efforts are being made to raise additional money to help in securing additional counsel for this unfortunate colored boy, boy he is for he is only 19 years old and has not had the advantage of at the training that boys of this age usually have. Allen was convicted on circumstantial evidence largely evolved on the testimony of a man who is yet to be tried in connection with this same murder. Mrs. Saw Riess Developments at this trial which is to come after Allen will have been electrocuted, if the Governor does not interfere, may shed some new light on the question as to whether or not all the blame can be placed on Allen. If it develops that another man is guilty of the crime for which this man has been electrocuted, Justice in Old Virginia will have mis carried and no power of man could right the wrong that had been perpetrated. Allen will have been dead several days. --- CARD OF THANKS. Mr. and Mrs. Jefferson M.

TWU THE PLANET STRIKE THREATENS TO HALT BUILDING WORK. Unless Agreement is Reached Many Workmen Will Quit Their Jobs "CLOSED SHOP" IS DEMANDED. Carpenters, Tinners, Bricklayers and Allied Guilds Prepare to Inforce Requirements—Mill Men May Affiliate With Move. Unless an agreement is reached in the meantime, building operations of every description will come to a stand still in Richmond next Wednesday as a result of the demand of the Building Trades Council that every workman employed by contractors here carry union cards. Notification of the stand for a "closed shop," to become effective October 1, was given Richmond contractors several weeks ago by the Building Trades Council and as far as could be learned yesterday, the employers are preparing to make a fight against the demand. At the same time, it is understood that the union men are planning to enforce their demands by a strike if necessary. No move has been made by the contractors to meet with the requirements ordered by the workmen, it was stated yesterday. Although the union men, would not say specifically that they would quit their places next Wednesday unless their demands were met, it was stated that "measures" would be enacted to carry their point. VARIOUS TRADES INVOLVED. Carpenters, timers, Bricklayers, and men of every trade which compose the building guild are affiliated with the Building Trades Council. The exact number of men affiliated with the union organization will not be stated by the organization although it is reported that the majority of construction workers belong. Contractors are reticent as to the final action to be taken. Some it is understood, state that the difficulty will be settled without any appreciable delay in building operation. It has been reported that some contractors have refused to accept new work pending settlement of the difficulty indicating that they intend to give strong opposition to unionization of their employees. Although there has been a big demand for building permits this month, it has been learned that many more would have been re requested had not the possibility of a break between employers and the union men been imminent. MILLMEN MAY AFFILIATE Under the existing plan it is understood that the union carpenters will refuse to work upon a job where non union carpenters are employed or where any of the work is done by non union men. Thus far, the newly organized Millmen's Union, composing employees of the various manufacturing plants has not affiliated with the Building Trades Council. Should they do so, it is reported that the union men employed by contractors will refuse to work with materials which come from nonunion shops. Union officials refuse to state whether these plans have been definitely decided upon, but various members are indicating that they expect a strike to materialize next Wednesday morning unless the contractors come to terms. In the event that the walkout takes place practically all building operations in Richmond will come to a halt. ORGANIZE MANY MEN Organization of the workmen has been going forward rapidly, it is reported, and the union men claim to have on their rolls the majority of skilled builders in Richmond. They point out that they are not asking for higher wages, but for recognition. NATIONAL CONGRESS OF FEGRO FRATERNITIES. --- Springfield, IL., June 25.—The National Congress of Negro Fraternities will hold its fourth Annual Session in Memphis, Tennessee, October 8-9-10, 1919. This promises to be the most important meeting in the history of the Congress. Every district, state and national organization is urged to send its progressive, efficient officials or members to this meeting. Next to our church organizations, our fraternal societies are doing more to cement the Race, prove our worth as business men and we men and raise the standard of our people along social and moral lines than any other agency. It is desired of the officers and members of this Congress to make the fraternities a potent factor in the financial, social and industrial life of the Negro. We have over sixty fraternal organizations with a membership of over 2,000,000 men and women, whose combined wealth in cash and real estate represents over $100,000,000. The successor men and women of our Race are identified with some Fraternal Society. There is strength in union, and in this constructive age we must take advantage of every opportunity to give the world the best that there is in us.

FALL CHANGES DELAYED. Analysis of Roll Call Indicates a Total of 500 Will Oppose the Administration Program, While Supporters Will Number Only 46, Gore, King and Shields Democratic Antis, Failed to Vote. Johnson, Back from Trip, Says People Want Treaty Facts. (By Albert W. Fox) The first actual vote in the battle between the supporters and opponents of the league of nations coveant was precipitated in the Senate yesterday. It resulted in a victory for the league opponents by 43 to 40. Unexpected and dramatic the test of strength as to which side would control the situation came after Senator Lodge's request that considerat ion be postponed of the amendments proposed by Senator Fall, which stipulate that America shall hold on memberships on any of the commissions or committees growing out of the treaty. This move was strategically, important because the covenant opponents do not want to press this matter now, and may want to give the Johnson amendment right of way. Senator Hitchcock, the administration leader therefore at once sought chance to force this issue. Senator Lodge moved a postponement until one week from yesterday, Senator Hitchcock challenged by demanding the yeas and nays, and the first roll call of the league of nations battle was on. HOW THE SENATE DIVIDED The roll call was as follows: For the motion: Republicans—Ball, Borah, Brandege, Capper, Coll, Cummins, Curtis, Dillingham, Elkins, Fall; Pernald; France, Gromna, Hale, Harding, Kelogg, Kenyon, Keyes; Knox; La Follette, Leenroot, Lodge, McLean, McNary, Moses, Nelson, New, Newberry Norris; Page; Penrose; Phipps, Pointdeger, Sherman, Smoot, Spencer, Sterling, Sutherland, Townsend, Wadsworth, Warren, Watson—42. Democrat—Reed—1. Total, 43. Against the motion: Republicans—Jones, McCumber—2. Democrats—Ashurst, Beckham, Chamberlain, Culberson, Dial, Fletcher, Gay, Gerry, Harris, Harrison, Hitchcock, Johnson, S. Dak, Jones, N. N.; Kendrick, Kirby, McKellar, Myers, Ngent, Overman, Phelan, Pittman, Pomerene, Ransdell, Robinson, Sheppard, Simmons, Ariz., Smith, Ga.; Smith Md.; Smith, S. C.; Stanley, Swanson, Trammell, Underwood Walsh, Mass.; Walsh, Mont.; Williams Wolecott—38. Total, 40. CUTS DOWN POSTPONEMENT After the vote and before the resumption of the reading of the treaty Senator Lodge explained that he had hastily determined to ask a week's postponement when confronted with the question of having to fix a day and that he would not require so great an interval. He therefore asked that the consideration of the Fall THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA awondments be taken up in the Senate next Friday, an interval of three instead of seven days. Unanimous consent for the change was immediately forthcoming. The first roll call is naturally of the highest significance and indicates that the senators are at present divided as follows: For the administration program—2 Republicans, 44 Democrats; total—46. Against the administration program, 47 Republicans, 3 Democrats; total, 50. THIRTEEN FAIL TO VOTE In the roll call, thirteen senators failed to respond to their names, of which ten were paired as follows: Senator Edge, Republican, with Senator (Owen, Democrat; Senator Prelinghuysen with Senator Bankhead, Senator McCormick with Senator Henderson, Senator Hirman Johnson Henderson, Senator Hiram Calder with Senator Thomas. Three unpaired Democrats were known that both Senators&emsp;Senofn Senators Gore, King, and Shields. It is known that both Senators are with the covenant of opponents. --- NEW SECRETARY FOR SAVINGS BANK SECTION, A. B. A.

THE ROOSEVELT MEMORIAL New York, October 1.—School children all over the country will take an active part in the memorial campaign to Theodore Roosevelt, which will be held during the week of October 20-27, and which will have its culmination on the last mentioned date, October 27. Under the auspices of the Roosevelt Memorial Association commemorative exercises are to be held in schools in all the states in several of which October 27, has already been named by the educational authorities as "Roosevelt Day." Roosevelt was particularly the advocate and friend of children. It was but natural that his lifelong interest and zest in games and outdoor sports of all kinds (his famo in great hunting exploits, his active participation in one of our foreign wars and his picturesque and forceful personality should have made him a particularly appealing figure to American youth. To millions of boys and girls in this country he was a hero. In arranging for the commemorative exercises in the school—public, private and parochial—it is particularly the purpose of the Roosevelt Memorial Association to perpetuate the inspiration and stimulus of his life upon the lives of the boys and girls of too glainted States to impress on them the example of his characteristic fearlessness, sense of honor and fair play, his aggressive righteousness, and his intense love of country, and to inspire in them the desire to emulate his standards of life and conduct. To further this aim, copies of a booklet containing a biographical sketch of Colonel Roosevelt together with a number of brief excerpts from his writings and addresses will be distributed to the pupils. Chapters from his books, characteristic stories of him and addresses of his having special appeal to children will be read by teachers and pupils in the commemorative exercises. Those pupils who wish may contribute to the fund for the permanent memorials which is being raised by the Association.

Richmond, Va. --- Bland Back From France With the Record of Brutalities. FLOOD DEFENDS THE A. E. F. Former White House Aid, Now With Forces at Cobblt; Blamed by I Investigator for Deplorable Mistreatment of Soldiers and Officers in Paris Districts. Harts' Office Building Housed Abused Mc.—Sales and Destruction of Army Property Attacked. Deplorable inefficiency and incredible waste in the sale and destruction of army supplies overseas, and brutal mistreatment of American soldiers in detention and prison barracks were charged yesterday by Representative Moyal C. Johnson, chairman and Bland Republican members of the special House committee sent to France to investigate conditions in the expeditionary forces. Representative Flood minority member of the committee issued a statement defending the administration of Ameri can affairs abroad. WILL CALL PERSHING Brig. Gen. W, W. Hart's was blamed in unmistakable language for the mistreatment of American soldiers and officers in and around Paris, by Representative Bland. The army term "hard-boiled" was the representative's characterization of the American command of the Paris district. The committee arrived in Washing ton yesterday. Representative Bland said that further hearings are to be held at which Gen. Pershing and other army officers and government officials will be called upon to testify. DOES NOT BLAME PERSHING "I am not inclined to blame Gen. Pershing for the conditions which existed and still exist in the American army affairs in France, but as comander-in-chief of the expeditionary forces, he surely knew something about them." said jRepresentative Bland.. Gen. Harts was declared by Representative Bland last night to have caused more sorrow, misery and heartaches in the American Army in France than any other officer in the army. Gen. Harts, said Mr. Bland, "was a member of the President's party when he was in France and a great favorite with Mr. Wilson." Gen. Harts was stationed in Washington at intervals before the war and was at one time President Roose Read The Richmond Planet --- CALLS HARTS "HARD BOILED." "I understand that Gen. Harts is now chief of staff with the American army of occupation at Coblenz, and is "hard boiled" as ever, stated Representative Bland, explaining his charges against Harts. "He is one of the most unpopular officers in the American army and all the time I was in France I could find only two or three men who would undertake to defend him. The privates hated him. But Gen. Hartis was the military guardian of the President and no man in the judge adovocate general or provost marshal's departments had the boldness to recommend his trial before a court-martial. Gen. Hartis since the early part of 1918 was in the same building in Paris, where thousands of brutalities were committed. There were four rooms in the building where soldiers accused of being absent without leave and of other military misdemeanors were imprisoned. Sometimes they were crowded in there so closely that they could not rest. CONFINED WITH CRIMINALS They would be kept there in that condition for two days at a time before being sent to the prison camp. There were some criminals in there and men with diseases, and they were crowded together with good clean American boys under conditions which were indescribable. The men had no sleeping accommodation and sanitary conditions were nauseating. Complaints were made and reports laid on Gen. Hart's desk but still he did nothing to alleviate the condition." Representative Bland declared that treatment such as accorded American soldiers has never been known before in the history of the American army and copies of reports and testimony of court martial officers and inspectors had been obtained by the congressional committee, which would enable the committee to definitively fix responsibility. Gen. Strong and Col. Grinstead are directly responsible for the cruelties perpetrated at the notorious prison farm No. 2, said Mr. Bland. Representative Bland also declared that army property in France was destroyed by order of army officers, while the French were negotiating for its purchase. Mr. Band said that airplanes, automobiles, clothing, shoes and blankets were among the things destroyed. I was told that airplanes and automobiles destroyed in such condition that they could not be in any way useful, but I have proof to show that airplanes and automobiles were taken under their own power to car THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND. VIRGINIA tain parts of France and there destroyed. Whole squadrons of automobiles would be lined up and destroyed with the acetylene torch and the officers in charge would not even bother to save the tires. Some of the engines that were destroyed had not been run for more than 20 mutes—were new to all intents and pur poses. I asked why the automobiles and airplanes were not taken to pieces and the parts sold and I was informed that the French were in the habit of buying them up and putting them together again and it seemed that that wasn't desired TIRES ALLOWED TO ROT. Hundreds and thousands of new automobile tires were piled in the open and allowed to rot. Supplies were purchased for the army in France in absolutely unnecessary quantities. For example 5,000,000 gallons of vinegar were purchased for the 2,000,000 members of the expeditionary forces. The expeditionary forces brought enough compasses in Switzerland to encompass the world I believe. FRENCHMEN GREW RICH Our allies were not slow to take advantage of the system which prevailed in the sale of army supplies. The French bought supplies from us, and then competed with us in Germany and the countries when we started out to dispose of more of our surplus. The committee has a copy of a blanket agreement in which $1,709,000,600 worth of government property was sold for $400,000,000. There was a half billion dollars, worth of food and clothing alone in the sale, and a good part of it was as good as new. Many people in France have grown rich buying up United States government property and then selling it at an enormous profit." Representative Bland also said that army officers now in France who acted as purchasing agents for the government are being tried and punished and that many of them will go to prison but that "the facts will be kept out of the papers and quickly hushed up." CHARGES MISUSE OF FUNDS. The committee has a whole trunk full of testimony and figures, and data of various sorts, which will be arranged and printed as soon as possible. There are cases of misuse of America government fuds in France that would startled the nation if give en publicity." Representative Bland said that the committee hopes to resume its hearings within a few days. Representative Royal C. Johnson of South Dakota, chairman of the committee refused to fix the blame for "horrible conditions which exist in the prisons in and near Paris." Representative Johnson said that a great deal of the responsibility for the conduct of the prisons rested on Gen. Harts and Col. Grinstead. MEN ACCUSED HARTS. Representative Johnson said that in personal conversations with men in France he had been told that the responsibility for many of the inhumanities could be traced to Brig. Gen. Harts and Col. Grinstead. "A number of army officers of high rank have told me personally that some of the responsibility rested on these two officers who were in charge of prisons, but until all of the evidence has been taken and carefully considered I can make no report," he said. The men were starved abused and beaten in every conceivable way, said Representative Johnson. The prisons were conducted with willful disregard to the rights of officers an men. The evidence which the committee obtained proved conclusively that some one of higher rank than a lieutenant was responsible for the conditions. One of the worst cases was the case of a lieutenant who had his jaw broken by a blow from a sergeant. The officer was kept in prison for more than a week before any medical attention was given him by those in charge of the prison. COLONEL SENT TO KITCHEN Another case which was brought to our attention was that of a full colonel who was forced to do kitchen police duty for a week for no reason on atl. The committee took thousands of pages of testimony on this subject, but as yet I can say nothing of the findings," said Mr. Johnson. "A force on the figures." of accountants is at present at work Mr. Johnson said that it would probably be six or eight months at least before the report could be made ready for the printer. FLOOD DEFENDS HARTS. Representative Flood issued a formal statement in reply to the sensational charges of Representative Bland. "In 'justice to Gen. Harts,'" Mr. Flood said: "I ought to say that the evidence before the committee exorcated him from complicity in the alleged prison atrocities, and as soon as he learned f them he proceeded to correct them and did correct them," As to the other features of Mr. Bland's attack, the minority member said minor incidents were picked out in an effort to show general conditions.

There ar$_{0}$ so many so-called hair growers on the market, a large number of which are nothing mor$_{0}$ than perfumed grease, it is no wonder people get discouraged and lose faith in all hair tonics. In deciding what to use on your scalp be sure and get a remedy of proven merit. Seeby's Quinade is a highly medicated pomade that has stood the test of time. It is a real scalp food; it stimulates and nourishes th$_{0}$ roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long hair. Quinade is the invention of an expert chemist and is made under the supervision of an experienced registered pharmacist. It makes the hair soft and smooth and easy to put up in the style desired.

It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequalled by any other shampoo.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES One Year.....$2.00 Six Months.....1.10 Three Months.....1.09 Foreign Subscription.....2.50 SATURDAY.....OCTOBER 4, 1919 When colored folks quarrel among themselves, Negro-haters rejoice. We can live a mighty long time, but we can die in an instant. Some folks are so lazy that the seats of their breeches are always thread-bare. Colored folks are going to Heaven and they will give a joyful shout when they get there The evil-doers seem to be flourishing now and God's people seem to be having a hard time of it. The situation at Washington is distressing to the President and embarrassing to some of the senators. Some people spend most of their time devising schemes to get other folk's money without working for it. The fury of a northern mob is intensified because of the progress and working ability of colored people, who are doing right. It looks bad at times but colored folks are enjoying the best time of their lives and thousands of them don't know it. The weather is getting cool and the churches will soon have their regular attendants there to hear the Word of God and to keep warm. Some people seem to think that the only aim in life is to eat a plenty, wear fine clothes attend every social function and to shun work. This is an age of deception and double dealing. Many persons painted as saints are devils and many persons pictured as devils are saints. President Wilson has devised a plan to bring peace to all nations, but he seems unable to devise a working plan to bring peace to this nation. When a mob lynches a colored man and burns down the court-house in Omaha, Nebraska, it seems to us that the reign of lawlessness in this country has gone its limit. Some people work just enough to buy what they want for the time being and then they sit down and wait until they spend all that they have made before they will work anymore. Some people have been waiting for the end of the world, oblivious of the fact that comes to every person when that person draws the last breath and the undertaker is called in to per form the last rites. We are much nearer a political industrial and a bloody revolution than many of the people of this country believe. It has been brought about by wrong-doing in high places, the temporizing with evil and the electing of "big" men with little minds to office Some young folks will never learn manners or have respect for old age. When they get old, they will wonder how they happened to be such fools and how it was that God permitted them to live so long. We must carb the black hoodlum and keep under restraint the black "neer do wells" amongst us. It is true that many of them are sent to the jails and the penitentiaries, where they should be, but they cannot remain incarcerated there forever. They give us and themselves trouble when they come out. President Wilson is endeavoring to figure out how he can get a two-thirds vote in the United States Senate to ratify the Peace Treaty and the League of Nations covenant while Senator Lodge is trying to figure out how he can hold a majority of the senators together until the vote is taken to amend both measures. The good colored people should continue to do all in their power to restrain and control the bad colored people and the good white people should do all in their power to restrain and control the bad white people and the good white and colored people should unite in their efforts to restrain and control the bad white and colored people. The National Race Congress will meet in Washington, D. C., during the second week in October. The officers of that organization are planning for a great time, forgetful of the fact that a riot took place in that place a few months ago. They will let President Wilson and the Congress know what the Colored folks want and what the colored 'elks do not want. Agitators make it very uncomfortable for conservative people, but they are vitally necessary for the security of the rights of a down-trodden class of people. Water that is not agitated and stirred up from time to time becomes stagnant and so it is relative to the rights and privileges of a free people. This is a critical period in the race's existence and an organized effort must be made to keep our grievances before the American people and their representatives at Washington. DECEPTION IN HIGH PLACES The Washintgon Post, in an editorial deliverance in its issue of the 27th ult., discusses the results of departing from right and justice in dealing with Germany and her Allies in general and the smaller nations of the world in particular. It might be well to emphasize the fact that this observation applies too to the dealings with the colored people of this country. It has reacted in our dealings with the American Indians and subject nations. But we desire to present particularly the statement of conditions as revealed by the last great blunder made by this country and its allies. The Post says: The peace conference at Paris, which has put forth two treaties of peace and is about to put forth two more, is demonstrating to the world the fatal character of the departures from right and justice which the allies have made. A war is developing in the Adriatic which threatens to involve the United States—the United States, a nation whose very existence has been perpetuated by avoidance of Old World complications. Another war is brewing in the Orient, which also threatens to involve the United States. A third war, of stupendous portent, is growing out of the failure of the Allies to rescue the Russian people from the grasp of Germany. This war will, of course involve the United States. It might be well to add to the complicacy of our contemporary that a revolution is brewing in this country. Temporizing with evil and yielding to wrong have had disastrous results. It continues; The root of the failure at Paris goes down to the infected soil of secret diplomacy. When the statesmen assembling at Paris began their secret bargaining they threw away the victory over Germany. That fact is now beginning to appear in naked and terrible outlines, as people after people become involved in the broils resulting from failure and injustice at Paris. The strongest figure of all is the United States, a nation that never before participated in secret treaties, whose dealings with other nations were always an open book, and whose treaties were always submitted to the Senate and made public. Now, through processes which the people do not understand, the United States is involved in Russia in the Adriatic in China and in Africa with no prospect whatever of withdrawal before the shedding of the THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA blood of Americans in strange quarrels. This is strong language, but it is true. This is an era of hypocrisy, the professing of one thing, and the doing of another, the advocacy of open diplomacy, openly arrived at and then the denying to the Senate of the United States information to which it was entitled. And again: The supreme council at Paris was charged with the duty of making an effective peace by imposing its own terms upon a powerless enemy. The council had the world's triumphant power concentrated in its hand. It held the power of life and death over nations. It was not restrained by instructions, for it was composed of the individuals who originated in situations. It was not amenable to any written constitution. It made its rules as it went along. It defined its own limitations and laid down its own principles of action. As a creator is greater than its creature, so the conference was greater than a league of nations. Yet when the test came, this all-powerful body proved a failure, as time is now revealing. It failed be cause it feared the peoples and pre-sumed to set itself above them in wisdom and virtue. It dared not submit to the peoples of the world a daily complete record of its doings, because those doings would not bear the light of truth and Justice. Those doings consisted of bargainings over secret treaties made before and during the war, which actually transferred peoples about as though they were chattails, exactly as President Wilson declared would never be tolerated again. This is a drastic indictment, not only of the representatives and plenipotentiaries of the Allies, but the Chief Executive of the United States of America as well. It was a breaking of faith with the people of this country in particular and the nations of the world in general. How can President Woodrow Wilson explain this statement of affairs, which statement is admittedly true? It says further: In the course of this bargaining all the victorious powers became involved, the United States included. Thus, a secret treaty required the powers to sanction the mutilation of one of their own allies. Lacking the courage to trample down that infantous secret bargain, the conference cepted it, and for all time wrote it self down the betrayer of China. Lacking the courage to go forth and befriend the Russian people, who had suffered 65 per cent of the death losses of the allies, the conference actually proposed to meet the slayers of Russia, with a view to making such a peace with them as would leave them in control of their spoils. Confronted with a dilemma arising from an effort to reconcile two irreconcilable "peace points," the conference denied to Italians the right to live under the Italian flag. Finally, over whelmed by problems caused by the conflict between justice and secret treaties the conference dumped a doz en incipient wars into an article of the peace treaty by providing that a league of nations should become sovereign over territory conquered from Germany, Turkey, Austria and Bulgaria. The nations anxious to gain control over these enemy territories are now beginning the process which ends in war. If this be true, how can this country avoid going into another world configuration? How can we get out of the agreements made by our representatives at the Peace Table for the sending of American troops not only to Europe, but to Asia in order to engage in the broils of the Old World? Time alone can answer this question. The Post sums up the situation as follows: Europe's policy of saying one thing and doing another is Europe's concern. If Europe wishes to talk of open diplomacy and continue the practice of making secret treaties, let Europe do so. If Europe has made secret treaties intended to offset the provisions of the proposed league of nations, there is no means whereby Americans can even know of the act, much less prevent it. But Americans can keep the United States out of the intrigues, broils, enmities and wars resulting from secret bargains if they wish to do so. Will Americans do this? We have paid dearly for our experiences on the other side of the ocean. Will we continue to sow, where we can reap only a harvest of anguished minds, broken hearts, excruciating suffering and fiendish deaths? Some day and at some time, the secret history of this great war shall be told. Let us hope that it shall not disclose the fact that millions of money were made by some at the expense of the suffering and life blood of others. OBJECT LESSON IN RICHMOND. A few years ago, the politicians got busy and championed a plan for the segregation of the white and colored people of this city, which plan was in direct violation of fundamental principles and contrary to all laws of common sense. Under the leadership of "little men," it was proposed virtually to make water run uphill, to force white people to live only in a block occupied by white people and to apply the same rule to colored people. The result was turmoil and strife. The police officers were required to work over-time serving notices of arrest and in ordering people to move out of their own property. In some instances, colored people, who had bought property were denied the right to occupy the property that they had purchased. This condition of affairs, which began its worry and annoying in Baltimore spread to many parts of the country, particularly in Richmond and Louisville. As a result of this crusade hundreds of residences were vacant. They could not be occupied by colored people and white people had moved to the improved section of the city, where all modern conveniences were available. Then came the final common sense and legal opinion by the Supreme Court of the United States nullifying these ordinances passed by many municipalities in this country. Certainly, in Richmond, the effect was magical. Colored people moved in Clay St., and the white people moved out. They went to the West End after selling their old houses in Clay St., for enough and sometimes more than enough to purchase comfortable new homes in the western section of the city. As a result, white people who were condemning the colored people are now with wads of money. In their hands gotten for their old houses praising these same people that they had a few years ago called, "niggers," and all parties to the controversy are happy. There are fundamental laws that require fundamental action. Easing remedies may be applied, but the trouble will remain until it is removed in accordance with great principles and nature's laws. This is equally true with reference to conditions in the world today. These com promises and fleeting arrangements made to get rid of embarrassing situations will return to plague those who advocate them. Nothing is settled until it is settled right.

AL the same time Secretary Tumut ty issued this statement: “Upon the advice of Rear Admiral Cary 'T. Grayson the President's phy- sician il has become necessary to cancel all the President’s engage: monts for the immediate future.” DU, GRAYSON'S STATEMENT. President Wilson's condition is duc to overwork. ‘Tho trouble dates back to an attack of Influenza last April in Paris from’ which he has never entirely recovered. ‘The Prest- dent's activities on this trip havo overtaxed his strength and he is suf fering from nervous exhaustion, His condition 15 not alarming but it will be necessary that for his recovery that he have rest and quiet for a con siderable time.” RESULT OF UNUSUAL STRAIN oe re eae see wee Kansas City, Mo.

He is in a state of — ex- treme nervousness and physical ex haustion a none too robust constitu tion having faltered at Iast under the unusual strain placed upon it. It re mains to be seen if caroful nursing and a strict regimen will bring him back {o normal strength. HURRYING 'TO WHITE MouUsE. Abandoning the Inst four days. of his eventful trip, the President is be ing hurried to Washington tonight and will reach the capital Sunday morning, It has been decided that ihe immediate rest and care the President oecds ean best be obtained in the White House. Surroundel there by quiet and comfort he should he able to build up a new store of the how sadly depicted nervous organs. The devetooments of the next 43 hours will te! much as to the Pres dent's condition. It is hoped he will have responded satisfactory lo treat meat hy that time. ADMITS EXTREME EXHAUSTION Mr. Wilson has been ailing for some time, but he did not give in until burned ont nerves would earry him no further, There were tears in his eyes this morning when he sent for Secretary ‘Tumulty and told him that never in all his life had he felt quite so exhausted. Rear Admiral Cary T. Grayson who has acted as personal physician {0 Mr. Wilson ever since he entered the White Mouse has decided by this time it would be suicidal for the President to attempt to fulfill the five speak- ing engagements whiei remained on his program, Admiral Grayson has had grow- ing concern as to the President on account of his inability to get any Sort of exercise on his long trip. Yes lerday afternoon the special tratn Was stopped for an hour outside of Pueblo, Colo. so the President might take a long walk. Ne thoroughly en Joyed the outing, but as corrective stop, it came too Tate. APPECTED BY HIGH ALTITUDE. ‘The high altitude in which he had heen traveling and speaking for the Past four days also has affected the President and helped further to sert ously fray the tired nerves upon whieh he was depending, From Mon day until ‘Thursday night we had been in altitudes ranging from 4,000 to 7,600 feet and the President had fell the change from the sea level of California. Mr. Wilson confessed to Secretary ‘Tumulty today that for nine days he had not heen free from a headache. He had hesitated to say how much he had been suffering for fear tho trip might have been called off before it was. Mrs. Wilson knew —some- thing was wrong, however, and only yesterday had exacted a promise from the President that he could eut his speeches in the future to 20 min utes. Under the spell of the fino re- ception he got at Puchlo yesterday afternoon however, the President forthwith broke his promise ant spoke for nearly an hour, It was his final effort of the trip.

No steps have been taken thus far to completely abandon the more im portant engagements — the President has made for October, a month which has given promise of being one of the busiest. Washington — has ever known. ‘The President's program for October inchides the entertainment of the King and Queen of Belgium, the opening and a more or less general direction of the conference of capi- tal and labor, the entertainment — of Cardinal Mereler, the entertainment of the Prince of Wales and the firts meeting of the great international labor organization created by treaty of Versailles. The President has an nounced this labor meeting would be held in Washington regardless of What the Senate might do with the treaty. All “immediate engagements” have been cancelled but there will be no postponement of the capital and labor conference for October 6, 4N OUR STEAD AND IN HIS NAME, They Are to Bury Themselves in Africa. si nee. - ne Bese vee ar 4.

Rev. E. W. D. Isaac, D. D. Cor. Sec. We are gratified with the spendid report which our Board submitted to the National Baptist Convention in its recent session at Newark, N. J., The amount of cash taken in during the past fiscal year was quite four thous and dollars in excess of any previous year. The mortgage debt had been reduced from fifteen hundred dollars to six hundred and when the attention of the messengers was called to that fact they raised the amount necessary to cancel that debt. The B. Y. P. U. Board, therefore, takes credit for having cleared or debt the first piece of real estate owned by the National Baptist Convention. The members of that Board are delighted because they have taken on the most difficult task and "put it over" first. This gives them new inspiration for the work that is ahead of them. The Board has planned to burn this mortgage on "Thanks giving Day" of this year. We are busily engaged in filling orders for the October quarter and pleased to state that, from present indications this will be the largest fall quarter that we ever had. Our Bible Conference work goes right on askerfcire. We are holding one of these Conferences this week in Terre Haute, Ind., with the Second Baptist Church of which Rev. B. Hill man is pastor. These conferences are simulating a love of Bible study in thousands of Christians, who have not been interested in Bible study therefore Dr. Brown is associated with us in this Bible work and is rendering very efficient service. Any pastor or pastors who desire us to hold a Bible Conference in their midst should write me at once. We shall be glad to serve and help as many of our brethren as possible. Do not forget the B. Y. P. U. Rally Day, which is the fifth Sunday in November. Yours respectfully, E. W. D. ISAAC, See. $150.00 ENDOWMENT PAID. Orange, Va. 1919.

EDITOR MITCHELL'S "(Continued From Page One.) he dealt in terrapins and turtles. He had a regular "colony" of diamona back terrapins in the cellar at his home. They cost nothing to raise them," he said. "All you have to do is to dig up the ground and sprinkle a little salt around and they feed on the bugs and on what they get out of the earth. A terrapin will-not bite you. He is harmless. WOULDN'T LIVE THERE. I didn't doubt his word at all. In fact I believe all that he said, but some how or the other I didn't feel --- as though I would like to live at Mr. and Mrs. J. Milton Dabney's home with those diamond back terrapins around in the cellar. They might find a way to climb up stairs. Moreover some times, he has snapping turtles down there too, and I wouldn't be able to tell the difference in the darkness with a probability that I might make a mistake in the light. I prefer some other business to that of raising diamond back terrapins and turtles in my own home. In fact a farm would hardly be large enough or long enough for me if I had to have there my sleeping quarters. In reply to his worst experience with these kind of, "reptiles" Mr. Dabney said. I have had those big snapping turtles that stand up on their hind legs and snap at you. My father was in the catering business and I learned it from him. It is said that if a turtle gets hold of you, he'll hold you until it thunders. Well one of them got hold of my finger right here. You can see the scar there now. I was thinking nothing when he snapped me. The finger felt numb. I yelled and the family came. I thought of a way to get loose, and I tried it on this male turtle. It worked and he opened his mouth. I never knew why he had not snapped the We used to let the turtle bite some thing after we had teased him and then we would hang the thing that he held up to the ceiling, the weight of the turtle's body drawing the head out of the shell. We would then cut off the turtle's head, the body dropping to the floor. A turtle's head will live three days even after it is buried. You can dig it up and it will show signs of life and bite you. I had learned something about turtles and terrapins and then I took a lesson or two in cooking them. He stated that terrapins are killed by throwing them into boiling water. Rev. W. E. Brown preached an excellent sermon at the Rising Mt. Zion Baptist Church last Sunday, at 11:30 A. M., a large number turned but to hear hint.
