WE SERVE - INFORM - ADVERTISE THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia State Library RECEIVED MAR 20 1920 VIRGINIA STATE LIBRARY RACE - COUNTRY - WORLD NEWS VOLUME XXXVII, NUMBER 19 RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, MARCH 20, 1920 Newport, News, Va., March 15.—To all of the members and friends of the Virginia Baptist State Convention: Greetings.—Truly this is the day of big things both in church and state along many lines. Men are getting a brighter and better vision of life and its responsibility than ever before. The human horizon is being deterged as the days go by. All the Christian denominations are coming to themselves and are "doing them solves proud" by their unprecedented efforts for education and missions; for this inadable line work "millions" life but common financial terms. The southern whites of our own denomination have put on seventy five million dollar drive for the spirit and intellectual uplift of the people. And a neat sum of this is to be devoted to the betterment of our people. Such large hearted help is not intended to encourage our slackness, but to aspire to exert, to apply ourselves more stronely for our own advancement. Brethren, we can not afford to stop here and while away the time; but let us go forth as never before. Present times and conditions demand colored Baptists to "arise and rohe," in the work of making all men know and realize that the "light is come and the glory of the Lord" is shining upon them. In view of such ends we have planed a hundred and fifty thousand dollar drive to reach a glorious completion five years hence. Two years ago while in session at Zion Baptist Church, Newport News, the convention decided to have a great reunion of all of our state bodies every seven years on Seminary Hill. So this will bring the completion of this big drive in the reunion meeting of our convention, the Woman's, the Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. State convention five years from now on the Seminary Campus. To realize the amount in view it only remains for the men's convention to average twenty thousand dollars a year and all together of our other state bodies to average ten thousand per year. This can be readily done by a "strong pull, a long pull and a pull together." There is dire need of money to meet the demands of conditions at the "School on the hill." The dormitory space there is fill ed up and overrunning, while many worthy young people have to be turn ed away from the doors of that great institution. Under the guidance of that master workman, President Woods, we are soon to erect a building approximating seventy five thousands and dollars. Let us push forward his work in the name of the Lord and His leaders. Our President, and Faculty well do serve our help and encouragement. Our President, and Faculty will serve our help and encouragement. Brethren the time has past for our leaders to do nothing for the work all the year and come to the convention with diarrhea of words and constipation of thought in effort to get by, as some used to do. In our convention now when a brother has so much to say his work record is looked up and if it is found to be deficient, that talk is simply put down as mouth and moment. And no real man would like to be so estimated. President King and many of his assistants are doing their best to make the Staunton meeting a red letter affair exceeding all proceedence, from all viewpoints. Think of it—the convention is only about 58 days away. And if some of us would make any show at our next meeting, these few days must be very easy ones indeed. Brethren the time and conditions are demanding of us means with which to do the educational and missionary work of the Lord. Let all of our Pastors and churches get busy in the cities, in rural and everywhere. Rally, brethren, rally! And make all hearts happy in Staunton at the great Mt. Zion Baptist church, May 12, 16, 1920. —Miss Alice C. Chiles, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John R. Chiles, left last Saturday for Chicago with Miss Wright. She is engaged in the War Community.

We Paid Over $47,000,000 in Taxes Atlanta, Ga., March.—According to a tabulation of returns from all the counties which was completed by Tax Clerk William R. Harrison, in the comptroller general's office, Negroes returned for tax in 1919 $55,858,301 as against $474. 9 in 1919. This represents an increase for the year of $7,134,852 on per cent. A comparison of the various classes of property returned with the returns of the preceding year is as follows: Farming lands, $16,955,593, 1918 $13,979,380; city and town property, $15,208,043, 1918 $13,987,665; etc. It will be noted that while all the particular items enumerated show an increase with the exception of "money and sol vent debts," the value of automobiles owned by the Negroes shows a much larger percentage of increase than any other having practically doubled with in the year.

THE MINISTERS CONFERENCE The Ministers' Conference of Richmond and vicinity was out in full last Monday at 11:30 A. M. The meeting was opened in due form, President, Dr. B. Payne presiding. The order of the day was called for and Dr. William H. Stokses got the floor and made brief remarks about the Inter-Church World Movement. He being our State Director, said that he had invited Dr. A. A. Graham, of Phoebus Va., who is an executive member of the movement, to speak to the Conference on the subject before the body. Dr. Graham was master of the situation. His words were eloquent and profound. The Conference was moved to unquestioned approval of the subject of world-wide evangelism outlined by the speaker. A committee was appointed, headed by Dr. Payne, to draw up plans of operation. The committee on program was again referred to, which committee has been asleep for more than four months. I suppose it will make its report for the year sometime in the next two months. The committee on the Secretary's report is in the same box. Since most of our members are out of their sick beds now, we think that those who are on committees of importance to our work should render their report. Friends are always welcomed to our meetings.

The Service is organized along leisure time lines with the object of making the community a better place in which to live and at the same time to help all of the people in the community to employ their leisure time advantageously for recreation and good citizenship. Dr. Pickens is preeminently the foremost orator before the American public today. He has addressed audiences all over this country with a very pleasing and helpful effect. His address here was of deep interest and highly instructive to every citizen of Portsmouth, and the audience was unstinted in their praise and appreciation of his wit, deep wisdom and his clear and keen reasoning. At six o'clock Thursday evening Dr. Pickens was the guest at a dinner given in his honor at Talem's Cafeteria. Those dining with Dr. Pickens were Dr. Wm. F. Reid, Attorney Thomas H.

Wanted Judge to Order Segregation in Baltimore, Md. Baltimore, Md., March—Saying they feared an invasion by Negroes in the 900 block North Wolfe street, a delegation of women visited Justice Rohleder at the Northeastern Police Court and asked if something could be done. They told Justice Rohleder that 3 weeks ago white, people living in 933 North Wolfe street moved and that after the house had been repaired the landlady brought several Negroes to the house and they agreed to rent it. The climax to their feelings came yesterday when the new tenants appeared at the house in possession of the keys and went inside to clean up preparatory to moving in. The women told Justice Rohleder that all of them owned their houses and had lived in that block for years. After listening to the story of the women, the magistrate told them that there was nothing that he could do to prevent the Negroes moving in because the higher courts had ruled that the segregation act was no longer valid.

CLOSE WATCH KEPT ON SYRIA Eolshevist Propagandists in Alliance With Burka. Leguencing Trouble in Afghanistan. London, March 12. Earl Curtzon's speech on the Turkish problem made in the House of Lords yesterday and other official and unofficial statements on the subject are generally regarded as showing that the Near East solution is quite serious and is causing the authorities anxiety—an anxiety increased by complications threatened in connection with Syria and Mesopotamia. The shadow of Indian and Moslem opinion darkens the problem, and this has been influencing the allied supreme council more than always is immediately apparent. FEAR TURCOABIAN The suggestion that the employment of force against the Turks might excite general hostility in the Mussulman world is regarded as one that cannot safely be ignored. In some quarters the feeling prevails there is danger if the Turks are pressed they might be immediately joined by the Arabs. The Italian view that it would be dangerous to employ against the Turks British Moslem and other Moslem troops in the service of the allies is evidently based on these fears. Careful watch is being kept here on the outcue of the Syrian Congress at Damascus, and it is understood any decision or proposal by the peace conference regarding Syria would be purely tentative. Among the day's reports was one that France had been given a manatee date over Cilicia, but this is improbable, as her hands are too full to untake this responsibility. Great Britain is similarly regarded ruled out as a mandatory for the same reas on, and the league of nations is looked to as the only hope for protecting Turkey's non-Moslem 'subjects'. AGREE WITH EARL CURZON Commenting on Earl Curzon's statement that the seriousness of the Turkish situation is due to American procrastination, some British editors declare that if action had been taken a year ago, when Turkey was militarily humbled, the present trouble would not have arisen. Reports are current that Bolshevist activities directed against the allies, have cropped out in co-operation with the Turkish Nationalists and in Nearer India. It is said specially trained Bolshevist propagandists have installed printing presses at Afghanistan, where pamphlets, written in the vernacular with a view to undermining British authority in India and stirring up trouble on the Afghan border, are being produced. SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT. For one solid year, regularly each week, and punctually. The Associate Negro Press has distributed Service to a large group of the various newspapers of the Race, from one end of the country to the other. From the very beginning, the spirit met with popular favor. Various expressions concerning A. N. P. service were made, but all looked to the field of larger hope, the development of greater prestige for the press at large both among the readers and the general advertising public, and a unantious decision that A. N. P. was filling "a long felt want." A GATHERING OF THE CRAFT On the unanimous recommendation of the Editor members present in Chicago, during the Lincoln League Convention, at a dinner given in their honor by the A. N. P., at the Appomattox Club, it was decided to hold a session of the members in Chicago. For this event, Monday, June the 7th, has been decided upon. The National Republican Convention will meet here on the 6 of June and because it is known that many of the craft will be present anyhow, that date was selected. All A. N. P. members are hereby invited, and asked to come expecting "the time of their life" in fellowship, problems and plans of newspaper growth. IN THE PERISCOPE With the new year, in addition to excepcs of editorial opinion, from the leading daily newspapers, excepcs of editorial opinion from our own newspapers will be called. The A. N. P. also announces that Dr. William Pickens, Dr. Emmett J. Scott and James Weldon Johnson, have been added to our contributing editorial staff. From time to time they will give brief expressions on timely subjects. There will also be one of our leading women selected in this capacity. OUR FIRST ANNUAL The Associated Negro Press will issue its first annual within a short time. Again, we are taking new ground. This will be a "thing of beauty and a joy forever." It will contain expressions of opinions of A. N. P. Service and newspapers in general from the leading people of the country. All members are hereby invited to send in a brief expression now for this magnificent edition. If the first anniversary of the Associated Negro Press is deemed worthy of brief editorial mention, due consideration will be given to such in the annual. In the words of the look of prayer, "we have done some things that we ought not to have done, and we have left undone some things that we should have done" but if we are borne SUBORDINATE LODGE BENEFITS—Lodges pay from $1.50 to $3.00 per week as sick benefits, for which you are to pay no less than Fifty Cents as monthly dues.

BARNETT, Director GERMAN EMBASSY IN LONDON IS SURPRISED. Secretary Says He Is Unable to Understand Revolt. London, March 13. The revolution in Berlin was an entire surprise to London, apparently to none more than the German Embassy here. The secretary of the legation, Herr Schuber, said tonight. "Not a word has been received from Berlin. How far the movement is a monarchist one it is impossible to say. We never dreamed of anything of the kind and are unable to understand it." The British Government received no confirmation of the revolution until late this afternoon, and the officials were included to doubt the newspaper reports until officially confirmed. Most of the high officials are out of town for the week-end, and the chief point of discussion is whether the Hohenzollers are concerned in the plot and what will be the attitude of the new adminisra-tion toward the peace treaty.

THE INDUSTRIAL CONFERENCE. Washington, D. C. March.-The National Industrial Conference which has been in session here for several months idealizing with problems of Capital and Labor and all of the correlated issues of th present period of industrial unrest, has taken a recess for the purpose of putting into form recommendation of the Conference for harmonizing relations between Capital and Labor. A great many witnesses have appeared before the Committee including former President William JI, Taffi Samuel Gompers, head of the American Federation of Labor; Daniel Wilford of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and a number of others in, in importance in the world of affairs, who have offered suggestions with regard to the establishment of a National Employment Exchange, hours of work wages, women in industry, child labor; the cost of living, etc. etc. The Conference recognized that consideration must be given to the claims of Negro Labor and its recommendations, and therefore sought testimony from a representative of the colored people in the person of Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Secretary Treasurer of Howard University, who during the World War served as Special Assistant to the Secretary of War. Dr. Scott offered testimony as to the claims of Negro Labor to prop consider in the adjustment of present day industrial problems and act forth in some detail the factors which have been responsible for the large migration of Negroes from the South, as well as the place which these colored laborers are taking in the field of industry in the north. A discussion of the whole Negro problem developed as a result of the friendly question on the part of most of the members of the Conference which followed Dr. Scott direct testimony. --- THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA VICTORY CAMPAIGN FOR THREE THOUSAND NEW MEMBERS OBJECT—To carry forward the work of Temperance and Reform in such a manner that all may receive and enjoy its healing influences.

REPUBLICANS BAR COLORIED MEN FROM CITY, MASS MEETING. Cordon of Police Help Enforce 'Lily White' Rule Adopted by Leaders (Michmond, Va., Times Dispatch, March 14, 1920.) Incursed at the alleged steam-roller tactics employed at the republican mass-meeting held in Hustings Court, Part II, last night, a number of prominent local men held a second meeting after the first one had adjourned and elected delegates to the district and State conventions. Delegates had already been elected at the first meeting but those who called the second meeting, marked that half play had been denied them by the presiding officer, and that the first meeting was irregular, in that it was not an open meeting. The split in the ranks came over the question of whether the black man is to sit in the councils of the Republican party. A cordon of potes was drawn up in front of the court house last night and scores of Negroes who applied for admission were told that they could not enter. It was against this, attitude that speakers at the second meeting protested. Edgar Allan, former postmaster of Richmond, said that he stood for justice to white and black alike, regardless of those who might term him a "nigger lover." COLORED MEN AT SECOND MEET ING. About a dozen colored men lingered on the outside of the building and attended the last meeting. No attempt was made to elect colored delegates to either convention or name colored men on the city committee. The major portion of the Negro voters did not remain for the second meeting, however, but moved on to the True Reformers' Hall where they held a mass meeting of their own. It was decided at this meeting that a mass-meeting be held on Tuesday night at which time the colored Republicans will decide what steps they are to take to meet the situation. J. R. Pollard is the leader of this move and stated last night that a State convention will be called if the Roanoke committee denies justice to colored voters. Roy E. Cabell, former United States Commissioner of Internal Revenue registered a vigorous protest at what he termed the "outrageous meth eds" employed at the first meeting in electing delegates and members of the city committee. He said this protest would be taken to Roanoke and if necessary, to the national convention in Chicago. "The fight will start in earnest when the district convention meets at noon tomorrow in the courtroom. Both delegations from Richmond will protest against seating the other and neither will have a voice in the preliminary proceedings of the convention. The delegates from elsewhere must first decide which of the two factions is entitled to a recognition. Sixteen delegates were appointed at the first meeting each of these being entitled to one-eighth of one vote at both the State and district conventions. The last meeting was content to elect eight delegates to each convention, each of them to have a one-fourth vote. ALLAN DENOUNCES RING RULE Edgar Allan pronounced the "ring rule in the Republican party more damnable than any in the Democratic party, and stated that his party stood for "equal rights for all and special privileges to none." S. L. Thomas was elected a delegate at the first meeting, but remanded for the indignation gathering and announced himself opposed to the "steam-roller tactics" by which the elections had been held. He was elected a delegate at the second meeting also and is therefore the only man absolutely sure of recognition at the district and State conventions. John R. Wylie called the first meeting to order and announced emphatically that it was "purely a white man's meeting." Twenty-five or thirty who attended the meeting indicated their opposition to this attitude by remaining to the second meeting. The following delegates were elected at the first meeting to the State convention, to be held in Roanoke on Wednesday: Henry W. Anderson, Joseph P. Brauny, Joseph W. Stewart, John H. Lyons, Melvin Flegenheimer, John B. Billey, Claude M. Dean, S. L. Thomas, W. R. Miller, H. W. Walden) L. H. Drew, James M. Morgan, Bowman Wiltshire, F. J. Mitchr, R. A. Bayliss and Joseph Wallerstein. The following alternates were elected: Oscar Hooker, H. F. Waldrop, S. L. Snyder, John R. Wylie, C. M. Monky, A. A. Page, John M. Dyall, R. E. Freeman, O. H. Russell, John L. Grubb, John F. Marchant, H. H. Hoffman, N. R. Cottrell, W. B. Bayliss, Edwin L. Levy and C. A. Overton. Melvin Flegenheimer was elected chairman of the city committee. Delegates to the district convention are as follows: Joseph P. Brady, Joseph W. Stewart, Melvin Flegenheimer, H. F. Waldrop, John R. Wylie and H. W. Walden. Alternates R. E. Freeman, George L. Snyder, P. J. Mitchell Paul Tunstall, L. O. Gallagher and H. M. Burrows. Archer A. Page presided at the sec ond meeting and C. C. Cary was elect ed secretary.

Detroit, Mich., March 10. The Planet. In reading the Afro-American on the 5th Inst., I saw an Article under the 'Caption' Sunday Holds Big Meeting Portsmouth, Va., March, 4th. C.J. Cerd Audience of 14,000 lifted the roof singing plantation melodies. At the suggestion of one of the Negro Preachers a collection was taken, the amount of which was five hundred dollars, $500.00. This of course was given to Mr. Sunday. I wonder what would that same preacher or (that) audience would have given, the Rev. W. H. Skipwil who is one of the greatest preachers and singers of our race. Or what would they have given Drs. C. T. Walker, C. S. Morris and other eminent divines of our race for a ten days meeting? I dare say they would have given two hundred dollars and yet for one sermon they gave a white preacher five hundred bucks. We don't begrudge Mr. Sunday's getting, because we believe he is sincere and honest in his endeavors, but we do think its time that our christian leaders and people were getting together and encouraging and helping their own. We have plenty Sundays as well as Mondays of our own if we would only make them, like the whites are pushing theirs—so let us push Skipwith, Jones, Walker and Morris. —JAMES BADY. COLORED WOMAN SITS AS DELE GATE IN KENTUCKY REPUBLICAN CONVENTION. Mrs. Annie Sims Banks, First Woma of Race to Be Active as a Convention Delegate. La Grange, Ky., Although Kentucky women will not get full suffrage this year, but will vote in the Presidential election, Negro women have already entered politics. This is the first time in the history of the South when Negro women have taken any apparent interest in politics, and certainly the first when a woman member of that race has participated as a fully accredited delegate at a convention. When the 7th Congressional District Republican delegates met here preparatory to State convention today among them was Annie Simms Banks of Winchester, Ky., one of the delegation from Clark County, who not only took part in the proceedings, but was appointed a member of the rules committee and as such helped prepare the report submitted to the state convention tonight. She was referred to whenever it became necessary as "the lady from Clark" and was recorded as much courtesy as any other delegate. When the resolutions committee reported Mrs. Banks gave a short talk, which was heard with much interest. She said: "We are just beginning to open our eyes in politics, but before long we are going to make ourselves felt and you can depend on Annie Simms Banks of Winchester to do her part for the grand old party." Added interest was given to the meeting by the presence in th chall of other Negro women, who, however had no voice in the convention. They watched the proceedings closely. It was the first time any of them had ever attended any sort of convention aside from church or lodge affairs. The 7th District was formerly represented in Congress by Henry Clay. POLICEMEN HURLED INTO THE MISSISSIPPI BY MOB SEEKING FAITH CURES. New Orleans Bluecoats Guard, "Brother Isaiah," Huble Peddler and Miracle Worker, From Rush of Thousand and of Cripples and Ailing Who Want to Be Healed. New Orleans, La., March 12.—Twenty-five uniformed policemen to nigt kept order on the levee and guarded John Cudncy, now known here as "Brother Isaiah," 73, house boatman of Mississippi River, watch man of the government large Tonty, humble chopper and peddler of kind ling wood and self-styled "Healer Through Faith." Thousands of persons thronged the levee during the day, and tonight several hundred remained, waiting their turn for "laying on of hands." So uncontrollable did the crowd be come late today that five policemen who endeavored to force back a score of ailing and crippled men and wo men were swept off their feet and pushed into the Mississippi River. They were immediately dragged from the shallow water and mud and suffered no physical injuries. Superintendent [of Police Mooney announced he would not interfere with the activities of the boatman. "He is doing no harm and from what I hear he is doing good, so let him alone." was the superintendent's state ment. An aged paralytic, protege of the superintendent of police, was tak en by one of the police captains to test the power of the healer, but the crowd was so great he was unable to get treatment. Dr. Oscar F. Dowling president of the State Board of Health said he did not intend to interfere as the boatman was making no charges and pre-scribing no drugs or medicines. Dr. Dowling classed the boatman's actions as "religious practice." Stories of "cures" increased today. Doubling persons who journeyed to the levee were confronted by dozens of men and women who claimed they either had been "cured" or had relatives who had been. --- SEES END OF LYNCHING. Principal Motor: of Tuskegee Institute Tells Boston Audience That Sentiment Against Mob Violence Has Greatly Changed—Addresses 20th Century Club and Other Leading Organizations of Boston. That lynching would soon be wiped out, that Negro education was progressing and that Negroes are not bolshevists were the main points, emphasized by Dr. Robert R. Moton, Principal Tuskegee Institute in Unity House, Boston, Tuesday evening, February 24th, at a public meeting arranged by the friends of Hampton and Tuskegee Institute, Dr. Moton, declared that the current of public sympathy in the south was very friendly to the Negro as a result of the determination of southern governors and leaders of southern thought to be fair to the Negro and for this reason he expected to see lynching and mob violence wipe out within the next few years. Dr. Motion brought a most hopeful and inspiritf message to his adulience. It was one of the most cheering addresses ever delivered on Negro advancement and race relationships in the south. The other speeches were: Brig. Gen. John H. Sherburne, of the 167th Negro Field Artillery, 92nd Division; Dr. James E. Gregg, Principal of Hampton Institute and Alexander L. Jackson, Educational Secretary of the National Urban League on conditions: among Negroes, Moorefield Storey, Esq. that gaulwalt, chaupion of human justice presided. The Hampton quartet rendered the music. TELLS OF NEGRO SOLDIERS Brig. Gen. Sherburne extolled the morale and behaviour of the colored troops under his command during the war. He was frequently applauded in recital of the achievements of his Brigade, especially in his reading of letters from Mayors of several French cities. Mr. Jackson described conditions among the Negroes of the north, telling how the colored people suffered as a result of the exodus from the southland, dwelling on conditions in Chicago, Detroit and other large centres in the North where it is difficult for colored people to procure proper housing conditions, where rents are exorbitant and where opportunities for earning a living are meagre. GREEG PLEASES BOSTON Dr. Gregg, of Hampton, cited the remark so often heard about the Negroes being in his place. "His place is the one his merits entitle him to," he said. "As with the Irish man, the Italian, the Jew and the Greek in this country, the Negro he gins with a handicap of ignorant and adverse prejudice. Both can be over come and are being overcome. Any man white or black, who can read and write, who thinks straight and lives straight, who is self supporting honest, hard working, and reliable, who respect his fellowman, deserves the vote, and is bound to get it. Lynching is cooperative murder, and throughout the south is gradually being recognized as a shameful crime." This was the first time Hampton's principal addressed a Boston audience composed of both races and his stirring utterances were received with marked approval. NEGRO EDUCATION PROGRESSES Dr. Moton in developing his sub ject declared that public sympathy in the south was never more friendly towards the Negro than it is to day. He spoke in part as follows: "The period of doubt and controversy with reference to Negro education in every part of America, the south as well as the north has passed. One of the many striking evidences of the changed attitude of the south is the fact that two states, Alabama and Virginia, Love taken the lead in placing compulsory education laws on their statute books; other southern states have followed them, and the day is not far away when every state in the south will have taken the same step in extending the benefits of education to every child, black and white, within its borders, and all will be obliged by legal requirement to accept the same. "I do not think I'm claiming too much in saying that the influence of Hampton in Virginia and Tuskegee in Alabama have had more to do in creating the sentiment which has brought about this forward movement in education than any other single force working in the south. While the compulsory education laws of these two states are not yet working effectively in every sense, the spirit and tendency are in the right direction, and they with their sister states in the near future will have forceful and effective machinery at least for the primary education of all the people, black and white, south of the Mason and Dixon Line." BLACKS NOT REDS in the midst of it all the faithful ness, loyalty and patience of the Negro have been nocturnal and proverbal. In the national dragnet designed to capture Boys, Girls, Reds, An archists, and other enemies of the Republic, the authorities did not report a single Negro among the approximately 5,000 that were arrested, yet there is no group of 12,000,000 in America that enjoys less of the blues and privileges of this civilization than is true of this group of devotedly loyal black Americans. And it is general attitude of the now nearly 15,000,000 Negroes is due almost wholly to the wise, intelligent influence of the thousands of the race that have been educated at Home THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA ten, Plisk, Atlanta, Tuskegee and simi llar Institutions. ADDRESSES 20th CENTURY CLUB While in Boston, Dr. Moton addressed the 20th Century Club of Boston, which is composed of some of the most liberal thinkers and leading business and professional men of Boston and Massachusetts. He also delivered an address before the Thayer Club of the Crombie Street Congregational Church of Salem, Mass. The Junior League Club invited him to deliver an address at Tullieries Hotel. Besides telling of the progress of Negro education, Dr. Moton described the race relationships conferences recently held at Savannah, Ga, and Tuskegee institute. At all of these meetings Tuskegee's principal was warmly received by large audiences and was acclaimed as a real sane, constructive 'race leader and one of the dominant figures in the life of the nation. JURORS DENOUNCED BY JUDGE IN MURDER CASE North Carolina Judge Dismisses Them Declaring They Breed Lynch Law. Asheville, N. C. March 12. Charging that the members of the jury were "brucaders of Inch law," Judge J. Bis Ray, in Superior Court at Hen dorserville, today dismissed the jury men, who yesterday returned a ver diet of not guilty in the trial of Connell Tatley. 17 charged with the murder of Will Erwin, an Elowl merchant several weeks ago. The Judge told the jurymen they could never serve under him again, according to advises from Hendersonville. Judge Ray said in his address to the jurymen that their verdict of not guilty was a flagrant miscarriage of justice, that a verdict of first-degree murder was predicted on the evidence, and that by their failure to return such a verdict they had shown themselves to be "moral cowards," "that they had been weighed in the balance and found wanting. "Such blunders as yours in this case cause shotguns to roar in the hands of the angry mob, and lonely trees to groom beneath their grusome burden." Judge Ray said, "I would not be performing my duty did I not, publiclyensure you for this verdict." He reminded them he could not tell them what verdict to return, but that he had cautioned them to consider all the facts and return a verdict in accordance with these facts. He said he had no apologizes to make for his remarks. Talley according to the authorities confessed to complicity in the murder of Erwin at the time of his arrest Jim Thomas, Nero, jointly indicted with Talley has not yet been tried.

WATCH THIS SPACE WEEKLY SA, CROAY....MARCH 20, 1920 SH,LLADY ADDRESSES GREAT CROWD ON LYNCHING. New York, N. Y., March—Speaking before a mass meeting called by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in the Metropolitan Baptist Church of New York, John R. Shillady declared that with more state governors like Edwin Morrow of Kentucky, lynching and burning at stake could be ended in the United States. "Mobbism in the United States can be ended whenever the people of the United States want it ended," said Mr. Shillady. "Whenever the people make up their minds that the mob must be put down, its governors and sheriffs and public officers will act cordially. "In the main governors and sheriffs allow Negroes to be lynched and burned and tortured, because the people of their communities tolerate such outrages. With more governors like Edwin Morrow of Kentucky, the worst blot on American civilization can be expunged: When a lynching mob meets machine guns, its ethnusism vanish es. Loxington, Ky., has fired another shot that will be heard around the world. --- NEGROES' MUST ORGANIZE TO COMBAT LYNCHING. New York, N. Y., March.—Among the 15,000,000 Negroes in the United States the realization is growing that they must organize to obtain justice, according to William Pickens, former Dean of Morgan College, who spoke at a meeting held by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Mr. Pickens recently became Associate Field Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. "It is not the policy of slavery," said Mr. Pickens, or oppression to teach the enslaved or impressed how to organize. Indeed, it is the policy of slavery to keep the enslaved apart to discourage any contact that should make for exchange of thought. The State of half freedom which came to the Negro after the Civil War made organization among the members of his race and its friends imperative, but past history had made such organization impossible of immediate realization. Many rival ```markdown ``` THE COMMERCIAL BANK AND TRUST COMPANY Easy terms are offered in order to make it possible for any one,however small his earnings,to own a part of a bank. secret societies and warring church denominations sprang up among the colored folk, but not until about fifty years after the Civil War period was it possible to create an organization like the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. What appeals to some people as ground for criticism against the N. A. A. C. P., is in fact its greatest virtue and best security for success$ that it consists of both white and colored working together for the aid justification of matters between the races. The 'race question' is really the problem of both races, although we call it "The Negro Problem." That does not mean that it is the Negro's question. There are two races concerned, and the matter cannot be settled with one race absent. Even the white race, which is the strongest race, could not settle the matter alone. When ten years ago M'ss Mary White Ovington called together some white and colored people and started the Association, while Dr. Du Bols started the Crisis Mafazine, then it was that the first real step was taken toward the solution of the problem of the half-free Negro in the United States." --- Norfolk, Va., March—The Colored Young Men's Christian Association held its thirty second anniversary at St. John's A. M. E. Church, Sunday afternoon, Dr. Emmett J. Scott, the principal speaker was by Wm. H. Rich Cashier of Brown Saving and Banking Company, Mr. Rich paid a glowing tribute to Dr. Scott when he said that, Dr. Scott was the universal choice of all the Negroes in this country when he was selected by President Wilson as an assistant secretary of War. Des Monies, Ia., March—Lincoln Post of the American Legion took action in support of the adjusted compensation for former service men, ap proving the national and state bon proposition now being indorsed and supported by the American Legion. Washington, D. C. March.—The Church of Christ, colored now engaged in spreading the doctrine of "back to the farm," held a solemn confirmation service at the Fifth Church of Christ, Archbishop Joseph George H. Higgs, clad in purple robes of his office, ordained as bishops Rev. R. D. Jonas and Rev. E. D. Johnson. Those who participated in the ceremony were Bishops Brooks, Morgan and Nash. In order to carry forward the "back to the farm" movement among the colored people, Archbishop Higgs announced that a bishop would be stationed in all the large cities. Chicago, March.—Capt. Marshall Field and Eugene T. Lies, executive director of community service, conferred with prominent colored city THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA zens from the south side at the community service offices on the extension of means to meet the leisure times needs of the colored population. Among the colored representatives were T. Arnold Hill secretary of the Urban League; Iq. S. Abbott, Editor of the Chicago Defender and Mrs. Grelen Sayers. A community program will be drawn up and discussed further at another meeting. --- New York, N. Y., March. One of of the principal needs of the Negro is leaders of his own race, according to the annual report of the General Education Board, just made public. To this and the board is giving special attention to development of schools which will give academic training in medicine, law, ministry and business. The board states that the number of Negro colleges and universities is greatly in excess of the funds available for their proper support. Total appropriations of the board for Negro education during the year amount to $767, 555 out of a total of $2,051, 537. Albany, N. Y., March.—There is no state or section of the country where the interest or protection of society demands or justifies the substitution of lynching for the orderly processes of the courts in the enforcement of law. This is the opinion of Emmett O'Neal, former governor of Alabama who has been active in the national movement against lynching. COLORED SONG WRITER HAS PHENOMENAL SUCCESS. Prof. O. Willis Winkfield, of Tulsa hassee, Okalahoma, who bears the distinction of a song writer as well as an author, has become sole publisher of his own works. He has just received from the press, several thousand copies of four of his latest song bits which the music dealers are selling with phenomenal success. The songs that this master of reedy has written, that are popular in the SSouthwest are: Sunshine Afternoon Rain 'Peace Our Pretty Dove' 'Her Heart in Smile' and 'The Soul Sublime', the latter song will surely merit its way among the classics. It is a sacred number, which lifts you in thought. The lyric: 'Sunshine After Rain' was written by the young author in 1912 and was set to music by Jack Standley of Washington, D. C. The publisher of the song soon went out of business, canceling contract covering terms of publishing the song. The writer of this song has revised it and set it to very enchanting music. These songs will be issued at whole sale prices to dealers and retained to the public. The proceeds of The Soul Sublime will go to the building fund of the First Presbyterian Church Tullahassee, Okla., for the first year, year.

BLACKSTONE NOTES. Blackstone, Va., March 17.—Blackstone Lodge, No. 7255, G. U. O. F. had their Ogden day anniversary celebration in the hall here on Sunday. Dr. Thos. J. Woolridge, with his usual degree of eloquence, acted Master of Ceremonies. Mr. John Ø. Turner read a splendid paper on the Life of Peter Ogden. The principal number on the program was an address by Rev. R. W. Ashburn, pastor of Shilch Baptist Church. He chose for his subject on this occasion. "Service." A more appropriate subject could not have been chosen. It was made the more appropriate and interesting by the manner in which he explained to his hearers, interspersed at different intervals with a bit of humor. Miss Hortense B. Gray, presided at the piano with unusual effectiveness. Miss Rosa B. Ross sang "Teach Me to Pray" in a manner which could not be excelled. While services were going on at Shiloh Baptist church Sunday night a volley of small stones crashed through one of the windows near the pulpit and caused considerable excitement. It was at first thought that some one had fired a revolver through the window, but it later developed that it was only small stones thrown. There were very few people out, but some of the young men who were present went out to find out the trouble. Before they got outside the guilty parties were on their flight. Hearing young footsteps up the street the young men pursued. The party scattered but is said that one of the young men from the church followed one of them to the Military Academy, (white.) Col. Ligon, president of the academy was notified of the affair and upon checking up the boys out that night, found that the boys who composed the party were three boys from that school. Mayor Adams had the boys before him this morning and fined two fifty dollars each and fined two fifty dollars each and one twenty-five dollars and costs Telephone, Madison 4677 and they are to pay for repairs to the church window. Mrs. Charles Fitzgerald and Little child who reside near Mt. Gerazine Church have been sick for the past week, but their friends hope they are both better by this time. Misses Angie and Marie Pryor, students at the Normal Training School and who are boarding at Mr. J. E. Turners have been sick for the past week or more. Their friends hope they may soon be up and able to re same their studies. Mr. William Greenhill, of Norfolk, who was reported in a serious con dition last week, is now said to be improving. His brother, Mr. Paul Greenhill and sister, Miss Sallie have returned home after spending several days with him. Miss Elizabeth Thomas, a pupil at the Normal Training School here, was taken sick last week while visiting her parents in Amelia County. There will be a joint initiation for the two Pythian Lodges at their hall on Friday night, the 26th. There will be quite a number to be infilated and it is hoped that as many of the Sir Knights as possible will be out. Prof. J. B. Pierce, who has been State director of the demonstration work among the colored farmers for some time, and who was at one time the demonstration agent for this county and whose home is still near Wellville, has been promoted. He now has under his direction six states, five others besides Virginia. [Those who are acquainted with Prof. Pierce and the interest he has shown in the work among the farmers of this section and the State in general are not surprised at the promotion. Mr. G. E. Oliver, who succeeded Prof. Pierce as demonstration agent for this county several years ago, has all been promoted. He is to succeed Mr. Pierce as State Director. It is stated that, Mr. R. L. Wynn, who has been the agent for Amelia County will be Mr. Oliver's successor. Little Mary Alice, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Ward, is reported sick at this writing. It is hoped that she is not seriously ill and will soop be well. Mr. Alex. Bridgeforth, was called to Deneron last Saturday to attend the burial of two of his nephews. Mr. J. C. Chatman and Mr. Archer Lewis spent Sunday in Norfolk. DO YOU KNOW THEM? Virapa. West Va., — I desire to know the whereabouts of my relatives.

Donouces Regular Organization as "Spurious Representatives In solently Attacking Homes," Miami, Fla., March --The platform adopted by the New York Democratic State Convention presents an issue which, in Democratic councils, must overshadow every other issue until it is repudiated or indorsed by the Democratic party of the nation, and if indorsed it will become the only important issue in the presidential campaign. The plank is printed in the press dispatches, reads; "We are unalterably opposed to prohibition by Federal amendment. We believe it to be an unreasonable interference with the rights of the State as guaranteed by the Constitution. We feel that the recent enactment was the imposition of the ideas of an active minority against the wishes of the great majority of the American people. We therefore declare for its speedy repeal, and to the end that the personal liberty of the people of our state may be thoroughly safeguarded until such time as this repeal may be brought about, we declare the right of our State in the exercise of its sovereign power to so construe the concurrent clause of the eighteenth amendment as to be in accord with the liberal and reasonable views of our people." HARPS ON WORD "UNALTER ABLE." The plank begins with a declaration of opposition ("unalterably opposed") to a provision now embodied in the Federal Constitution and as much a part thereof as the Bill of Rights, the provision for the election of a President and Congress, the provision for declaring war and concluding peace, or any other provision of that organic law. It is not only opposition, but unalterable opposition—an opposition that no conceivable reason, logic or condition can change. The reason given for this unalterable opposition is that it is "an unreasonable interference with the rights of the State as guar anteed by the Constitution." The excuse given—not the fact or even the reason but the excuse—is that those who wrote the platform feel that the recent enactment was the imposition of the ideas of an active minority against the wishes of a great majority of the American people. It is worth while to notice the in sincerity of the two sentences above quoted. The opposition cannot be bead upon any real belief that it interfere with constitutional rights, he cause the Constitution rights, because the Constitution itself provides a way by which it can be amended—that is, in fact, the most important provision in the Constitution. LEAD CAN'T BIND THE LIVING The dead have no right to bind the living. A Constitution made 130 years ago can hardly be invoked against the recorded will of the people, recently expressed in an amendment adopted in accordance with the terms of the Constitution itself. If the prescott generation now has no right to change the Constitution how long will it be before it will acquire such a right, or if not this generation, what generation in the future will be able to and by constitutional methods to a Constitution written in 1789? The Constitution has already been amended eighteen times and the nineteenth amendment is nearly ratified. When the Constitution was written slavery existed in many of the States, an institution that had come down from the most ancient times, and yet it was abolished. The Constitution provided for the election of Senators by State Legislatures, but in 1913 an amendment was adopted which changed the moth oil of electing Senators and provided for election by popular vote instead of by State Legislatures. This (prohibition) is the only amendment that the Democratic State Convention of New York sees fit to "unalterably" oppose. And this opposition is in spite of the fact that this amendment has been ratified by forty-five States New York included among the number. All but three of the forty eight States have ratified the prohibition amendment, the only States failing among Rhode Island, Connecticut and New Jersey. GID TO NEGRO BY I. W. W. IN THE WEST. Literature Adorned With Blood Spots Laid Before Arkansas Body. Little Rock, Ark. March 12.—I. W. W. Literature, which is being circulated among the Negroes of Arkansas was presented at the meeting here of the state interracial commission by Joseph W. Booker, president of a local Negro college. The Literature, adorned with blood spots, says in part: "The workers of every race must join together. Trades unions do not want the Negro, and the L. W. W. admits the Negro to full membership." The commission appointed a committee of Negroes to arrange for A REVELATION ! THE BOOK OF SEVEN SAALS by Lucinda Young, who in the year 1890 laid on her bed for twenty-four days and梦 dreams and visions; was commanded by God to write the wonders she saw into a book. This book tells about the seven year famine that began in 1917 and will last for seven years and extends to the foreign lands. She saw also a series of diseases rage among the people and saw them starving and dying so fast that there were not enough living left to bury the dead, and this is already in the land. The book is sold at 60 cents and is on sale at Mrs. Davenport's, 710 N. First Street, also at Mr. O. R. Robinson's Wonderful Hair Grower and Restorer, 1103 W. Leigh Street, Richmond, Va.

Portsmouth, Va., March 4.—The biggest audience of colored people, gathered under one roof in this section of the country, cheered, wept and sang to Billy Sunday at the tabernacle last week. Fourteen thohsand melodious No gro voices sang in perfect harmony, "Everybody Talkin' 'Bout Heaven Ain't Goin' There," and "I'm Goin' To Lay Down My Sword an Shield," not to mention Sunday's own hymn, "Brighten the Corner," and "Just As I Am" filled the tabernacle with music such as those few whites had never before heard. SONG SERVICE PROLONGED Imagine a hundred plantation revivals consolidated under one roof with Choral efforts combined and you have some idea of the song service which preceded Sunday's sermon. All during the sermon there were crises of "Amen," "Yes, Lord" "Lord, help him to preach and once or twice Sunday's voice was drowned out by the shrieks of some member of the audience who "got religion" in true, old-fashioned, Southern Negro style the entire assembly. Onte or twice the ushers fearing the shoutin' would interfere with the evan gelists sermon, attempted to quiet the most demonstrative. "Just let them alone," said Sunday. "I am glad to see so much enthusiasm. We need a little more of that 'shoutin' religion among the white people. I've been trying to thaw them out for the past eight weeks." At the suggestion of one of the Negro preachers, a collection was taken before the meeting ended and the $500 derived from this collection was given Mr. Sunday as a thank offering from the Negro residents. Somebody made the request that Sunday remain in Portsmouth a week to talk to colored people only, but to this the evangelist would give no reply. C. P. HAYES SUPPONDER TO A.
