FERGUSON'S CRITICISMS AND OBSERVATIONS. Richmond, Va. March 20, 1929. Mr. John Mitchell, Jr. Editor Richmond Planet, Richmond, Virginia. My dear Sir and Good On more than one occasion I have commended and outlined you on your editorial is half of our Roles and take this nomination to do while concerning your editorial "Mr. Brady" Observation in this week. One of the Planet. Returning to the editorials of the same I am under captions "Protecting Colored Folk" and "Colored Folk Protection" especially which are prefixed with seemingly appropriate for the former, "Mr. Brady" Observation, entitled is also in allerties. They remind me of editorials which attenuate appear in our daily papers with comments invaluable to our Racial achievements or efforts, but conclude with a gentle reminder that we are "good niggers" in other words, we are carried into the seventh throw by a sermon and abruptly thrust back to old mother Earth, at the conclusion. TWENTY YEARS RESIDENCE During my residence in this city for twenty years, the political right and ambitions of the Virginia Negro have been crushed, but, the "Truth crushed to earth," they shall rise again. As a constant defense against "Lilly W. Washington" from this "Third Consecutive District," before the Republican National Committee in 1912 and 1916, Geeh time defeated, but by far from being disorganized, I took the initiative, after consulting loyal men, to call a Republican mass-specify to be held on March 10th, at the Time Reformer, Hall and did so with love for my lice. apologies to me man and cold of selfish aggravation. Had your paper been as in interested and sincere then as it is curious and sincere now, it would have known that the "horse" was in the stable on the "light" of the tenth; that a pubback was placed on the stable door on the night of the twelfth; that he was in the stable on the night of the thirteenth and shall be saecedly guarded until next June at which time the Republican National Committee shall register his pedigree; furthermore, this stock is Not For Sale. FRATERNAL LEADERSHIP LACKING Virginia politics and many Fraternal organizations are under the leadership of those who are determined to "rule or ruin" and "solitizing "Mur wumps and mollyoodles" instead of "Men" and when the unquestioned Manhood is aroused in those who re承认 selfish and autocratic leadership and not submitting to the game they are criticised and branded incapable of promoting movements in which manhood and Racial pride are paramount. Are we to be men or monkey? "If Oxygen was not blown into, the smoothering spark of political rights on the night of the tenth, it is too late, now, to combine Hydrogen in the attempt to check this "red hot" conflagration which is spreading through out the State and Nation. THE PRESS IN SILENCE The press, in silence, is as harmful as in turmoil—we must combine our efforts in order to accomplish good results. To quote our im mortal Lincoln: "With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow and orphan; to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations." Very truly yours. —D. A. FERGUSON COLORED PEOPLE PLANNING TO GET TOGETHER. There will be a mass meeting, Tuesday night, March 20, 1920, at Johnson's Hall, 10 W. Leigh Street, at eight P. M.

My Dear Brother, I am blessed with the privilege of sensory Christian prepositions so you attain God has bestowed upon us the option I afford not just for whom we are so deeply grateful. I wish to have to processing gratitude to you yet your convention last year for the Sacrifice on our Master. Great Writings The Fifty second Animal which is of the Miracle Rapid State Convention in Petersburg last May was con- tained in Petersburg last May but the fifty third Animal Society which will be gold with the Mr. Zoon Rapid children schooling, Ann, Rev. M. H. Gordon B. D. Postley, Woman's Day, May 18 hand the greetings so I am appealed to be good to make it greetive. First, I must ask you to have special prayer offered in your church for the success of our Hundredth Anniversary Drive and the Fifty-third Annual Session of our Convention I would designate Easter Week as a season of prayer in all of the Churches for this special cause. Second, select your delegate on time to trust them to come to Stamford prying for a great session and prepared to work with the Spirit to the end of obtaining that for which they have prayed; be present to the center and be invited for business during conference and palm until the Convention closes. Sunday night. Third "All out your letter sheet, telling all of the blanks as accurately as possible and write plainly with ink. We want to know your exact memorship and the number received into the churches of Virginia during the past year. Fourth, brother remember our Lord needs money as well as men to carry on His work in earth. A dollar today is worth twenty cents. Every Church must strive to double, and more than double your contribution this year. Every church should at least send from fifty cents to a dollar for each member. If you haven't that amount in the treasury to give, go to work and raise it for your Lord and His Kingdom. Our school at Lunchburg is over crowded and hundreds of young men and women who also want an education in nursing for admission. We were hundred last year in the erection of our new building; but it must go up this year. This great institution is yours; you own to support and take pleasures in and you must take care of that which the Lord has given you. And too, the Virginia Baptist State Convention will make the thousand dollars for Poor Men's Mission this year to open a Mission Station in Africa. We have never made a s. l. program of Missions in Africa; but we voted to do this at our last session. Our Lord wants this done and by His grace we must do it. Africa must come to Joys and we must play our part. Then I beg you to increase your contribution to State Missions, for we shall make a new program this year for planting new Churches and strengthening weak ones. The enemy is growing stronger and more daring and we must punge in to the thick of the tray and valiantly fight for our Conquering King or give our places, and our swords to others more worthy. Praying God's richest blessings up on you, I am. Yours for the success of our Great Kingdom Extension Drive. T. J. KING. President of the Va.

Anderson for Vice President. Roanoke, March 17.—Following one of the stormiest scenes that ever attended a political gathering in this State, Virginia Republicans in convention here tonight elected four delegates at large and four alternates to the national convention in Chicago and instructed them to support Governor Lowden, of Illinois, for the presidential nomination and Henry W. Anderson of Richmond for vice-president. Representative C. (Rascom) (Slenp, or the Ninth Congressional District, offered the motion that the delegates be instructed for Governor Lowden. The motion favoring an uninstructed delegation offered vigorous opposition. LIST OF DELEGATES TO CHICAGO. The delegates at large selected were: Representative C. Bassom Slemp, Joseph L. Crupper, of Alexandra; H. L. Lawson, of Floyd and D. P. Gromer, of Norfolk. Alternates named were: H. B. Crockett of Pulski; J. B. Kimberly of Elizabeth City; B. B. Wheeler, of Clifton Forge and Mrs. M. M. Caldwell of Roanoke. The delegation also was instructed to support Henry W. Anderson of Richmond, for the vice-presidential nomination, motion for the Lowden and Anderson instruction carrying by a vote of 314 to 194. A storm of protest arose when the motion that the delegation be instructed for Lowden was offered by Representative Slemp, led by R. I. Roop, of Christiansburg the opposition holding out for an uninstructed delegation. When order had been restored Mr. Roop declaring against an instructed delegation, said he attended the national convention in 1908 as an, instructed delegate, and that he "knew of the evils of being pledged for a man who has not the following of the people." SUMMERS MAKES CHARGE. Delegate Lou W. Summers, of Abington, at this juncture arose and exclaimed: "I rise to say that the men in this convention who are advocating an un instructed delegation are jingling Wood money in their breeches at this moment." Mr. Summera' words brought a veritable bowl of protest from the faction for uninstructed delegates. Delegate Frank Munsey of Bland, accused Mr. Roop of being a "free booter, sailing under a black flag." This statement added to the heat, and Mr. Roop's followers started to ward the section occupied by Mr. Summers and Mr. Munsey. Cries of "wrong, wrong", came from the Roop followers. The chairman rapped for order, and Delegate John Paul, of Rockingham, took the floor. Mr. Paul was opposed, to an instructed delegation. He was greeted with jeers and hissing. DON'T KNOW WHO THEY WANT. "I don't believe you gentlemen realize," he said, that the people of Virginia at this time do not know who they want for President. We should not, therefore, pledge, our delegates to support anybody, in my opinion." Heated debate continued for more than two hours and a vote finally was reached shortly before midnight. Following the election of delegates at large, Representative W. A. Rodenburg, of Illinois addressed the convention. The keynote of his speech was "Americanism" in which he scorned the Democratic administration for what he declared was its "many fallures in the past." WOMEN ADDRESS CONVENTION Republicans of Virginia in convention here today for the first time the history of the State were addressed by women representatives of Republican organizations from this and other States. Those speaking were Mrs. M. M. Caldwell, Roanoke, State chairman of the Republican Women's Executive Committee of Virginia; Mrs. John T. Pratt, New York, chairman of the Women's Ways and Means Committee of the Republican National Committee; Mrs. John G. South, Frankfort, Ky., delegate to the nation al convention from Kentucky and Mrs. Dexter Otey, Lynchburg, repre senting the national women's party. Other addresses were delivered by leading State Republicans and National Chairman William H. Hays. In what were considered keynote speeches, Mr. Hays, Mrs. Caldwell, Mrs. Pratt and Mrs. South, criticized what they termed "the failure of the Democratic administration" and pointed to the needs they said the Republic can party must provide for the countr'y return to "safe, sane and efficient conduct of national affairs." HAYS CRITICIZES PRESIDENT President Wilson and his policies were criticized by Mr. Hays. A REVELATION ! THE BOOK OF SEVEN SEALS by Lucinda Young, who $l_{n}$ the year 1890 laid on her bed for twenty-four days and saw 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.

"It has been said that President Wilson has a single track mind, and that he has a side track Cabinet. And that has brought up the question of the appointment of Rainbridge Colby as Secretary of State. He is not a diplomat as has been said on several occasions. No, he's not a diplomat. He's a door mat." Mrs. Pratt, declaring that the time has come when women must enroll in one of the two political parties, said: "We are interested in them as citizens and voters, and not merely as women." With women and politics, she continued, "a change has come over the political system of the country. We men have not been sitting all these years in idleness. One is asked if we men can be taught the principles of party loyalty and what it stands for today. It is believed they can." MAJOR PLANKS OF PLATFORM A platform dropped tonight includes the following major planks: Equal suffrage for women. Ratification of the peace treaty with reservations that the United States not be obligated morally or legally to send soldiers to Europe without the consent of Congress. A policy of the government "keeping out of business" and allowing in dusty to thrive under private operation. Opposition to government ownership of railroads.

LONDON FINANCIERS PUZZLED BY COUP. Unable to Tell Whether German News is Helpful. London, March 13.—News of the fall of the German Government caused bewilderment in the London financial world, which is undecided whether to construe this prove as a constructive or destructive development, German marks dropped 40 points here today to 308 to the pound sterling. It had become fairly well established in banking opinion here that the critical period in Germany might pass without a revolution, since Gustav Noske, Minister of Defence and generally regarded as the strongest man in the Bauer Cabinet, was able to hold cut so long and the revolution expected two months ago did not mature. For the time being it is difficult to determine whether the aid for Germany suggested by the allied Supreme Council will be made easier through the revolution. If the new German Government is conservative, probably it will more readily adopt the internal taxation and currency reforms insisted on by the Supreme Council before outside bankers would give aid to Germany. Hardly a single geologic condition is favorable for the accumulation of oil near Washington. The usual re-outsites for an oil pool are lacking, and no reputable geologist would advise the expenditure of money under these conditions. Much of the unwarranted boosting throughout the United States relates to areas in which there may at best be only a small chance of finding oil and in which the local business men and citizens are aroused to believe that drilling will lead to the discovery of great sources of wealth in oil in the home vicinity or county. Propositions of this class are scattered widespread over the country and no one but the Federal and State Geological Surveys appears to feel any responsibility in protecting the innocent, and for the most part, small investor. Remarkable as it may seem, one of these attacks of local oil excitement seems to have struck Washington. One prospective "oil field" is located less than ten miles from the dome of the Capitol. Advertisements that refer to the U. S. Supreme Court and the U. S. Geological Survey in large type do not necessarily thereby prove the oil character of the lands near the National Capital. Nor does the increasing demand for oil make the chances any better of finding it where Nature did not put it. The facts are: near Washington the sedimentary rocks of Cretaceous and Tertiary age dip gently eastward and are underlain at relatively shallow depth by hard crystalline schists and granites. These latter nowhere contain oil. The oil bearing beds found in West Virginia and Pennsylvania are not present in this region. The Cretaceous and Tertiary beds comprise sands clays and marls and are well exposed around Washington. Indications of petroleum have never been observed even in these beds by the Government, geologists who have critically mapped and studied the region. Moreover, streams have cut so deeply into these nearly flat beds near Washington that had any petroleum ever existed it would have readily escaped and been lost. Furthermore, the structure of the rocks east of Washington is such that oil would not accumulate. Folds in the rocks—domes or antifelines—nearly always present in commercial oil pools are lacking east of Washington, where they would readily have been observed had they been present. On every count, therefore, the search for oil near and east of Washington is to be discouraged. Speculation in such projects is to be deplored. Those unwary ones who invest in such projects are usually the least able to bear the practically certain loss of their hard-earned savings. No person who can not view with perfeet complacency the entire loss of his money should invest in the stock of oil companies purporting to exploit oil fields near Washington if indeed anywhere else, and the Geological Survey feels called upon to warn the public of the extra hazardous character of exploration for oil in eastern Maryland. It may be added that in this statement the Federal Survey concurs in general with the opinion already expressed by the State Geological Survey of Maryland. ```markdown ``` REPUBLICAN CITY BOLTERS CON- TINUE FACIALION ROW. Canary "Lily White" Protest to the District Meeting, But Are Frozen Out. ENGINEER RUMP CONVENTION W. M. Stoddard, of Charles City County Elected Delegate to Nation al Convention by Bollers of Party. Third District Republicans are hopelessly divided on the rights of the Negro voter to a voice in the councils of that party. Refusing to abandon the stand they have taken for equal rights for the black man, local Republicans engineered a rump district convention, held after the regular convention of the Third District had adored yesterday, and elected W. M. Stodard, of Charles City County, delegate to the national convention Joseph W. Stewart, director of the Church Hill Bank, was elected delegate to the national convention at the Third District Convention held at 12:30 o'clock in Hustings Court Part II. His seat in that body will be contested by Mr. Stoddard on the grounds that the delegates who elected him were themselves elected in a "closed" meeting, open only to white men. Three delegations were contested at the district convention—the Richmond delegation and the delegates from New Kent and Chesterfield Counties. Dr. J. L. Slater, delegate from New Kent had as his contestant a Negro from his county. This Negro participated in the 2nd convention, held by the delegates from Gooch land and Charles City Counties, who were present, but who took no part in the first convention; the contesting Richmond delegation, the contesting Clegates from New Kent and Chesterfield Counties, and a man from Durham County, who arrived too late to contest the delegate from that county in the regular convention. PERFECT PERMANENT ORGANI- ZATION. The uncontested delegates at the regular convention of which there were only seven, voted to seat the three contested delegations and proceeded with the business of electing a national delegate and perfecting a permanent organization for the Third District. Edgar Allan, Jr., former Postmaster of Richmond, appeared before the convention to protest against seating the sixteen delegates, representing one-eighth of a vote each, who were elected at the meeting at which Negroes were excluded. Joseph P. Brady, gcelk of the United States District Court, led the so-called "illy white" faction and relied to the charges preferred by Mr. Allan. The contention was that the mass-meeting at which the delegates were elected had not been an open meeting and that Negroes had been discriminated against. It was admitted that the vote by which Melvin Plegenheimer was elected temporary chairman was a majority vote. The question of whether Republicans of this city will be permitted to bar Negroes from their councils, will be submitted to the national convention for final decision. CONTEST RIGHTS OF DELEGATES The same questions will be raised at the State convention tomorrow, when the rights of the Richmond delegation to a seat in that body will again be contested. Joseph P. Brady, was elected member of the State Executive Committee yesterday at the regular convention and Joseph Stewart was reelected chairman of the district committee. The following five members of the State Committee were elected: Oscar Booker, A. M. Dozier, C. B. Jones, John S. Charles and Thomas B. Snead, Starkey Hare, of Henrico, was elected alternate to the national convention, C. B. Jones, of Ashland, was elected presidential elector. Major Hansford Anderson was chairman of the committee on credentials which withdrew from the convention and submitted a report recommending that all of the contests be sustained. This was done by the unanimous vote of five members, the delegates from Goochland and Charles City refusing to vote. (Richmond, Va., TimesDispatch, March 16, 1920.)

Referring to the editorsials of the same issue under captions, "Protesting Colored Folks" and Colored Folks Protesting," respectively, which are prefaced with sootily apologies for the former, "Mr. Brady's Observation," criticism is also justifiable. They remind me of editorsials which oftimes appear in our daily papers with comments favorable to our Racial achievements or efforts, but conclude with a gentle reminder that we are "good niggers," in other words, we are carried into the seventh Heav en by a sermon and abruptly thrust back to old mother Earth, at the conclusion. TWENTY YEARS RESIDENCE During my residence in this city for twenty years, the political rights and ambitions of the Virginia Negro have been crushed, but, like "Truth crushed to earth," they shall rise again. As a contestant delegate against "Lilly Whitism" from this "Third Congressional District," before the Republican National Committee In 1912 and 1916, (each time defeated, but by far from being discouraged) I took the initiative, after consulting loyal man, to call a Republican mass meeting to be held on March 10th, at the True Reformers Hall and did so with love for my Rue. apologies to me man and void of selfish aggravation. Had your paper been as in interested and sincere then as it is curious and sarcastic now, it would have known that the "horse" was in the stable on the night of the tenth; that a padlock was placed on the stable door on the night of the twelfth; that he was in the stable on the night of the thirteenth and shall be sacredly guarded until next June at which time the Republican National Committee shall register his pedigree; furthermore, this steed is Not For Sale. FRATERNAL LEADERSHIP LACKING Virginia politics and many Fraternal organizations are under the leadership of those who are determined to "rule or ruin," and soliciting "Mug wumps and molly-codies" instead of "Men," and when the unquestioned manhood is aroused in those who re sent selfish and autocratic leadership and not submitting to the same, they are criticised and branded incapable of promoting movements in which manhood and Racial pride are paramount. Are we to be men or monkeys? If Oxygen was not blown into, the smouldering spark of political rights on the night of the tent, it is too late, now, to combine Hydrogen in the attempt to check this "red-hot" conflagration which is spreading through out the State and Nation. THE PRESS IN SILENCE The press, in silence, is as harmful, as in one turmoil—we must combine our efforts in order to accomplish good results. To quote our im mortal Lincoln: "With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow and orphans; to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves, and with all nations." Very truly yours, —D. A. FERGUSON. COLORED PEOPLE PLANNING TO GET TOGETHER. There will be a mass meeting, Tuesday night, March 30, 1920, at Johnson's Hall, 10 W. Leigh Street, at eight P. M. Every Minister, Doctor, Lawyer, and the heads of all organizations in the city are asked to be present. The meeting will be one of the most important ever held in Richmond. ANNOUNCEMENT We are pleased to announce that Mrs. Zemoria Jones Wood has been appointed our exclusive representative in Petersburg, selling our complete line of fine silverware, watches, club pins and jewelry. E. C. MEYER, JEWELRY CO., 3 West Broad Street. Richmond, Va. President King Calls the Baptist Host to Great Endeavors. Richmond, Va. March 1, 1920 My Dear Brotheren—I am blessed with the privilege of sending Christian greetings to you again. God has greatly blessed us since I addressed you last year, for which blessings we are deeply grateful. I wish also to express my gratitude to you for your moral contributions sent up to the Convention last year for the extension of our Master's Great Kingdom. The Fifty-second Annual Session of the Virginia Baptist State Convention in Petersburg last May was to need a great success; but the Fifty-third Annual Session which will be held with the Mt. Zion Baptist church Staunton, Va., Rev. M. L. Gerdon, B. D. Pastor, Wednesday, May 12, must be greater. So I am appealing to you to make it greater. Second select your delegates on time; instruct them to come to Staunton praying for a great session and prepared to work with the Spirit to the end of obtaining that for which they have prayed; be present to the evening session. Welcome morning and get enrolled for business during the enrolment hour and remain until the Convention closes, Sunday night. Third, "till out your letter sheet, filling all of the blanks as accurately as possible and write plainly with ink. We want to know your exact memborship and the number received into the churches of Virginia during the past year. Fourth brother remember our Lord needs money as well as men to carry on His work in earth. A dollar today is scarcely worth fifty cents. Every Church must strive to double, and more than double your contribution this year. Every church should at least send from fifty cents to a dollar for each member. If you haven't that amount in the treasury to give, go to work and raise it for your Lord and His Kingdom. Our school at Lynchburg is over crowded and hundreds of young men and women who also want an education are begging for admission. We were hindered last year in the erection of our new building; but it must go up this year. This great institution is yours, to own to, to sup port and take pleasure in, and you must take care of that which the Lord has given you. And too, the Virginia Baptist State Convention wants five thousand dolars for Foreign Missions this year to open a Mission Station in Africa. We have never made a special program of Missions in Africa, but we voted to do this at our last session. Our Lord wants this done and by his grace we must do it. Africa must come to Jesus and we must play our part. Then I beg you to increase your contribution to State Missions, for we shall make a new program, this year for planting new Churches and strengthening weak ones. The enemy is growing stronger and more daring and we must plunge in to the thick of the fray and valiantly fight for our Conquering King or give our places and our swords to others more worthy. Praying God's richest blessings up on you, I am. Yours for the success of our Great Kingdom Extension Drive, President of the Va. Baptist State Convention. Colored Rebutts Protest Against the High Rent in New York. (Associated Negro Press) Now York, N. Y., March—Members of the Harlem Tenants and Lodgers' League, composed of Negro tenants, met at Palace Cason, 14 East 135th street to protest against recent ront advances.

Grammer's criticism of Mayor Moore's administration and the alleged political purposes of the proposed Bureau of Negro Welfare in the Department of Public Welfare brought a tart reply from the May or "I guess I'll not mention any names," said the Mayor, "but I wish those criticising the motives of the administration without knowledge would first come and find out what they were talking about."

The date and place of the meeting are to be named by you (date between May 1st and 15th.)

I would suggest that the largest hall or church be secured. We are planning to secure Colonel Duncans the first week in May, starting in New York city about May 3rd making the other meetings the same week and reaching Richmond about the latter part of the week, Col. Duncans is a man who will attract the attention of both White and Colored. The enclosed clipping will give you some information about Col. Duncans.

William Tuck, the Pastor of the First Baptist Church, Bermuda Hundreds is preaching some strong sermons, especially in breaking down the ideas of some of the people in that district concerning living without sin.

FELL SIX STORIES TO HIS DEATH Tragic End of Temple M. Thomas Rev, Dr, King Preaches Sermon. Crowds Hear Him. Temple M. Thomas, fell six stories through the elevator, shaft at the Chesterfield Apartments, Thursday afternoon, March 18th, at about 5 P. M. When found, he was lying on his side in one corner of the pit having missed the iron supports and base Therein. His left side and that part of his face felt the impact. Evidently he was unconscious when he reached the bottom. Just how it all happened will ever remain a mystery. He had gone to the Apartments to deliver clothes from the Sickel Cleaning Co. 409 W. Broad Street. OF THE OLD TYPE The elevator is of the old type and has an attendant at certain hours of the day. At other times, the tenants operate the elevator themselves. Thomas went to the 6th floor and when he returned to get into the car it had been moved to the floor above. He stepped into open space with the clothing on his arm. Persons heard something drop in the elevator shaft and upon closer observation, the object was found to be the body of Temple M. Thomas. FUNERAL SERVICES His remains were turned over to Funeral Director A. D. Price. Those who saw the body laid out would never be able to tell the mode and manner by which he met his death. His funeral took place Sunday after noon at 1 P. M. from the Fifth Street Baptist Church. Rev. Dr. T. J. King preached a powerful, but sympathetic sermon to the congregation that packed the old office both in the galleries and the main floor, while many remained on the outside. SAW SERVICE IN FRANCE Inferment was in the family lot in Woodland Cemetery. Young Thomas was only 23 years of age. He was chauffeur in the army in France and told of exciting experiences as he took chances along the roadways, where shot and shell were devastating the hill-sides and valleys. Then he came to his home to meet death amidst the pursuits of peaceful life. Laid to Rest.

Telegrams were sent to the colored leaders for absent this State for a conference here last Wednesday and many responded. It is evident that the capture of the Republican State convention by the Lowden forces has aroused the Wood forces and those of the other candidates with a view to either changing the total vote in this State, or in fomenting contests as against the delegates to the National Republican Convention that have already been elected. Funds secure to be plentiful for the purpose. ```markdown ``` Casino Theatre Making Good on the Southside, Mr. Robert Kenney, Jr., manager of the Casino Theatre, at 21st and Hull Streets, South Richmond is giving the public some clean, exciting fascinating and interesting moving pictures and great crowds throng the place each night.

COUP HAS NO BLOODSHED. Hindenburg Suggested for Imperial President—Noske's Army Fails Him London, March 11—Herr Noske, Minister of Defence in the Ebert Government, has surrendered to the new government, according to reports received from Berlin. A Berlin dispatch to the Central News say that counter measures from the Left Radicals are expected tenight. Many prominent supporters of the 7 Ebert Government have been arrested. They include Ulrich Rauscher, head of the German press service. Berlin, March 13. The Government of Friedrich Ebert, the Socialist President of the German Republic, was over thrown today by a military coup detat. Dr. Wolfgang Kapp, one of the founders of the fatherland party and general director of the Agricultural Societies, has ousted Gustav Bauer the Chancellor, and in taking that office himself temporarily has assumed supreme direction of affairs. There are now two contending governments in Germany, the new one under Chancellor Kapp at Berlin; the old one under President Ebert at Dresden. Offices of the new Government declare that it is not reactionary or unarchitect. The President of the old Government, and his Ministers have issued a proclamation calling upon the people to rise in a general strike as the only means of preventing the return of Wilhelm II. TROOPS DOMINATE SITUATION. Berlin is occupied by the troops of the counter revolution—to what number is not known—and the movement is spreading rapidly throughout the provinces. Masses of troops and naval brigades with artillery have been brought into the capital and dominate the situation. Thus far there has been no outbreak and no bloodshed. The Ebert Government had knowledge beforehand of the pending counter revolution, but the precautions taken proved to be entirely in adequate. The entrance into Wilhelmstrasse from Unter den Linden is barred by barbed wire and further protected with field guns and machine guns, Numerous troops, with their bories and field kitchens, are stationed out side the British Embassy close to the corner. Their flags, Germany's for ever naval colors is leaning against the Embassy window. There has been no attempt to molest foreigners, and members of the allied missions find no difficulty in passing in their cars through the barricades. The ordinary Berliner seems to treat the counter revolution lightly, but on investigation one finds a general feeling of uneasiness as to what the future may bring forth. AGRARIAN HELP EXPECTED It is thought, that the Agrarians, who naturally support the movement will send food quickly and in as large a quantity as possible in order to maintain the prestige of the new government. But no one knows what the worker in the Ruhr coal fields and the railway men will do. Alexanderphatz, near the Police Prefecture, is crowded with people this evening, for the most part workers, the number of whom is estimated at about 50,000. According to the Tageblatt the counter revolutionary troops are composed principally of the Erhardt and Loowenfield brigades, about 8,000 in all. The Chief of Police, Eugen Ernst replying to the request of Gen. Von Luettwitz to remain at his post to prevent disturbances, said that while it would be to the interest of the faith orland for him to remain provisionally at his post and do everything in his power to avoid civil war and fresh bloodshed he could only give his fin al answer after consulting his party friends. The Deputy Chief of Police in a short speech to his subordinates requested them to continue to perform their duties. Outside of the Security Police and the Noske troops on patrol, nothing indicated at 3 o'clock this morning that Berlin would wake up to find the Ebert Government turned post, The President himself left Berlin with some of his followers two hours after that time. Admiral von Trotha had been despatched to Doctoritz Friday night for the purpose of conferring with the troops and admonishing them to desist, from any violent procedure. He returned and informed the Cabinet that the agitation had subsided, but that the danger was not wholly reformed. NOSKE'S TROOPS NOT LOYAL. The realization was finally brought home to the Cabinet that the army which Herr Noske was supposed to control was far from being the loyal organization he counted upon, and that the Berlin garrisons had also been immobilized by the officers of the old school and were ready for the rising when the call came. The secrecy with which the revolution was planned and carried out has stunned every one. Field Marshal Von Hindenburg is reported to be favored by the new regime as Imperial President, but thus far he has remained in the back ground. The former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Gottlieb von Jagow, and Gen. Baron von Falkenhausen, former Governor General of Belgium, are among the leaders of the counter revolution. While the movement has been carried out rapidly and in apparent order, there is an undercurrent of anxiety among the people of Berlin to possible future occurrences. Counter measures are expected soon, although the Kapp Government has taken precautions to place those members of the former Government who could be reached under arrest. Reports from outside Berlin declare the counter revolutionary movement has affected the troops in large numbers throughout the country, the new Security Guards as well as the old army forces. The events that led up to these developments were dramatic and rapid in sequence. Last evening it became known that the Government of President Ebert and Minister of Defense Noske had come upon traces of a serious plot to overthrow the republican regime. Orders were issued for the arrest of the men believed to be mainly concerned. These were, first and chiefly, Dr. Wolfgang Kapp, noted as reactionary, who has been prominent in all agitations of the Fatherland party and an extreme antagonist of the republican government¹ and Gen. Laetwitz who was in command of the first so-called group of Reichswehr, or empire defence forces. Wit them were associated Capt. Pabst, a cavalry officer of the guard who had taken a leading part in supression of the Spartacist revolt last year. Apparently despite the precautionary measures taken by the Government, the plot had gone too far to be arrested as the troops selected for the seizure of Berlin were already on the way and force at the disposal of the Government was not only insufficient but was not altogether dependable. When the news came that revolt toary forces from the big camp at Deberitz were on the march, officers of rank belonging to the Government troops were sent to meet them, as emissaries of the President, to order them to desist and return to their quarters. The putineers, who belong mainly to naval brigades with some additions from Baltic troops, who have always been disaffected and undisciplined, met the Government's representatives, of whom the chief was Gen. von Oldershausen, and proposed some terms of an extreme character which were referred to the Cabinet in Berlin. PROCLAMATION PREPARED At the same moment a proclamation, prepared in advance, was issued, promising the people freedom and order and dissolving the National Assembly, declaring that the Assembly's mission, which was to establish a conflation and conclude peace had been fulfilled. The leaders of the late Government have, on their part, issued an appeal to the people, claiming their support against the reactionaries and calling upon them to organize a general strike. . . At 10 o'clock the city was still preserving for the moment its usual aspect. Carriages, taxicabs and street cars were in movement as though nothing had happened. There was no change in the appearance of Under den Linden except for the presence of a considerable body of troops at the Brandenburg Gate, the Adlon Hotel and the corner of Unter den Linden and the Wilhelmstrasse. The proclamation appeared at this corner at 10 o'clock in the morning. A mounted soldier, fully armed and helmetted, rode up and handed the proclamation to a small group of people. They flocked around him while the document was read. The proclamation later was read on street corners in various parts of the city, Dr. Schiffer, Minister of Justice in the Bauer Cabinet is said to have been one of the few to remain, and with Dr. Albert, Under Secretary of State, received the newly formed government. Premier Bauer was the last of the old Ministry to leave the Government building. The Social Democratic party (Majority Socialists) this morning issued the following proclamation: "Workmen Comrades--The military revolt has come. Erhardt's naval division is marching on Berlin to enforce the reorganization of the Imperial Government. The mercenary troops who were afraid of the disbandment which had been ordered de desire to put the reactionaries into the Ministerial posts." We refuse to bow to this military constraint. We did not make the revolution in order to recognize again to day the bloody government of mercenaries. We enter into no covenant with the Baltic criminals. Workers, comrades, we should be ashamed to look you in the face if we were capable of acting otherwise. We say, 'No.' And again, 'No.' You must indorse what we have done. We carried out your views. Now use every means to destroy this return of bloody reaction. Strike. Cease to work. "Throttle this military dictatorship. Fight with all your means for the preservation of the republic. Put aside all division. There is only one means against the return of Wilhelm II. Paralyze all economic life. Not a hand must move. No proteariat shall help the military dictator ship. Let there be a general strike along the entire line. Let the proletariat act as a unit." SIGNERS OF MANIFESTO The manifesto was signed by President Ebert, Premier Bauer, Gustav Noske, the Minister of Defence; Herr Schilke the Minister of Labor; Dr. Schmidt, the Minister of Food; Dr. Edward David, Minister Without Portfolio and Dr. Herman Mueller, Minister of Foreign Affairs; the social Democratic members of the Government and by Otto Wels for the executive committee of the German Social THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Democratic party. Publication of the evening newspapers was prohibited this afternoon. Only leaflets bearing the new Government's proclamations appeared on the streets. A new Imperial Ministry has been formed. It is provisionally composed as follows: Imperial Chancellor Dr. Kapp; Minister of Defence, General Baron von Luettwitz; Minister of Finance the Oberfinanzat Bank; Minister of Public Worship, Dr. Traub. The other ministers have not yet been ap pointed. The entry of the naval brigades into Berlin is graphically described by the Lokalauzeiger. Employees of the Hotel Adloh, it says rushed from the hotel, excitedly discussing the meaning of the appearance of troops in the streets. The few persons who were out of doors at that early hour in Unter Linden and the Wilhelmstrasse approached the groups of troops who had taken their stand there and inquired whether they were the contingent which was awaiting the Baltic troops, who were coming from Docheritz. Their questions were answered with derisive laughed, and with the imitation that the Government had fled the city during the night. The Wilhelmstrasse was at first cordron order was recalled and instructions were given that only a few patrols should protect the entrances to the streets, and that these patrols should disperse any crowds that might collect. The staff of the naval brigade proceeded to the Ministry of Defence, where the formation of the new Government was discussed, the newspaper adds. Regarding the attitude of the troops which were occupying the government buildings the I okalanziger says that doubtless the troops were ready energetically to oppose any extreme Socialist revolt, but they would only fight with reluctance and in some cases would not fight at all against troops whom they regarded as comrades. It is understood that the two naval brigades, which apparently were the principal factors in the counter revolution, are to a considerable extent composed of officers and petty officers of the old German navy. Rumors are current that Gottfried von Jagow, former Minister of Foreign Affairs, will be Foreign Minister in the new Government. The following members of the old Government are reported to have been arrested; Minister of Justice Schiffer, Prussian Premier (Hirsch, Prussian Minister of Warship Haenisch and Prussian Minister of the Interior Heine. NOTICE GIVEN TO THE PRESS An official of the newly formed government called a meeting of representatives of the press this morning and informed them that the old Government no longer existed and the new Government had taken its place. Chancellor Kapp he stated, had held conversations this morning with Dr. Schiffer, Vice President o the Imperial Ministry. The new Government, it was further stated, was not reactionary, but was a government of constitutional liberal action, which desired neither reaction nor monarchy. A transition al stage was necessary, he said, until new elections could be held. Chancellor Kapp's proclamation de-ing the National Assembly dissolved says that body lacks any nor al right to longer existence. Its attempt to postpone the elections and thereby despotically prolong its mandate," the proclamation continues, "is in contradiction to the will of the people. The constitution which has just been adopted is arbitrarily treated by the Assembly as a scrap of paper. The majority of its members would prefer to have the imperial President elected, not by the whole nation, but by the Parliament." Planets may be obtained from G.

Richmond, Va. --- CHICAGO JOURNAL ON LYNCHING (Associated Negro Press) Chicago, March—One of the most important expressions concerning eradication of American prejudice and indifference that has ever been made, comes from the Chicago Journal the oldest publication in the city, and Democratic in politics. It is under the caption of "An International Aspect of Lynching" and affords a less son for America that cannot be overlocked. "The suggestion that Great Britain delinquish her West Indian islands and the bermudas, to the United States, says the Journal as part payment of the British debt to this country has reached the stage of general debate: It must be added that up to date, one of the basic questions involved has not been mentioned by the debaters. Neither Britain nor the United States is going to transfer populations from one sovereignty to the other without consent. In the case of the islands mentioned will that consent be given? A heavy majority of all these islanders are wholly or partly of African descent. In Jamaica, the whites form only one per cent of the population and though they are somewhat more numerous in the Bermudas, they are still in a minority. The Bahamas likewise, show a heavy preponderance of blacks. Under the British flag, these islanders have a social position higher than people of their race enjoy in the United States. They have some thing much more important, absolute legal equality, and constant, competent protection from the law. There are no lynchings, in the British West Indies. There are no race riots, though something more than a gen eration ago, there was a disturbance in Jamaica which the governor sup pressed with, considerable severity. Meanwhile, in the first six months of 1919, the last period for which authoritative figures can be had, twenty-five Negroes were lynched in the United States. Only seven of these were even charged with assaults on women. Year by year, lawless violence of this sort goes on, and at irregular intervals come race riots like those of Springfield, East St. Louis and Chicago. Will the colored populations of the British West. Undies vote to leave their present security and join a country where members of their race are treated in this fashion? It seems doubtful. The islands are notural appanages of the North American continent. Under ordinary cir cumstances they would gravitate in to some sort of affiliation with or allegiance to the United States. But between them and their natural tendencies and interests the lynchers and race rioters of this country have placed a barrier which may well prove to be impossible." NATIONAL URBAN LEAGUE: (Associated Negro Press) New York, March.—The 1919 annual report of the National Urban League just published tells how $149 000 was spent during the year for improving the conditions of the Ur- Read The Richmond Planet Agents Wanted Everywhere ban Negro in thirty-two cities and points out that the good results of this expenditure were made possible thru the hearty co-operation of city and private agencies interested in civic betterment. The National Urban League s the outcome of the combining of those committees which were organized fourteen years ago in New York city with the committee on urban condition among Negroes organized in 1910 to co-ordinate social work in New York city in behalf of its colored population. The statement by its executive board in the foreword of the report announces: "The National Urban League believes that men and women of both the white and colored races working together can eliminate conditions which lead to friction thus mutual understanding and regard. It is the aim of the league (to establish in every community where there is considerable Negro population, committees of men and women of both races who shall seek to work cut the problems which affect the health, wealth, and happiness of all in their community. Economic opportunity so largely affects every aye thus which the Negro can advance to better and more serviceable citizenship, that the Urban League is devoting itself especially to industrial opportunities for Negroes." Housing, acue everywhere, has been to us, perhaps as serious as any other problem the Negroes have to face. Lack of new buildings for homes has worked its hardships here and with the industrial situation was one of the contributory causes of the recent race riots. These riots harmful as they have been, have served the purpose very emphatically of calling the attention of thinking citizens to conditions among Negroes which can be remedied with but small outlay of time and money. They have also served to bring together groups of white and colored people willing and capable of working to together on a program for race betterment conductive to the best interest of all citizens in any community. Such results were the outcome of the Chicago riots, where the league's ma chinery has been used to bring about better race conditions. Following the Chicago riots Governor Lowden appointed a race commission composed of members of both races, to investigate the causes of the riot, to suggest means to relieve conditions causing it and to act as a medium of communication between the races. Growing out of the riot also members of the Women's City Club of Chicago formed a committee with Miss Mary McDowell, head resident of the University Settlement, as chairman to act with a committee of colored women on matters affecting race relations. The Chicago Urban League is active in both these committees, the secretary of its Department of Research being on leave of absence while acting as associate secretary of the Governor's commission. Unique measures to improve the housing, home, and health conditions are undertaken in various cities where the league has branches. The southern migrant has been taught the ways of city living. The home it self appears improved thru the im proved appearance of the occupants. Appeal is made to his pride as a citizen and as a member of a race which is attracting attention and most of it unfriendly. For the general needs of the city dwellers two field secretaries, a western field secretary with headquarters in Chicago and a southern field secretary with headquarters in Atlanta, have been added during the year to organize new fields and cooperate with social agencies everywhere. During 1919, this work was carried on by the National Urban League and its branches at a cost of $149,000. The 1920 combined budgets provide for the expenditure of $220,000 which includes a national industrial secretary. THE Y. M. C. A. NOTES. The Y. M. C.

(Associated Negro Press) Cincinnati, Ohio, March.—Bishop Joseph C. Hartzell spoke on "The Status of Unification of Methodism" at a meeting of the Methodist Ministers' Association, recently at the Methodist Book Concern. His subject dealt with the question of the union of the Methodist Churches, North and South and the question which is involved—the status of the Negro. The plan for union emphasizes the representation of the minority, which is the Methodist Church South, but does not adequately provide for Negro representation which also is a minority proposition. Dr. McKibbin agreed with Bishop Hartzell, saying that he would go to Atlantic City to meet a delegation of North and South ministers of the Presbyterian Church to discuss the matter.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES One Year ..... $ 2.00 Six Months ..... 1.10 Three Months ..... .60 Foreign Subscriptions ..... 2.50 SATURDAY.....MARCH 27, 1920 DIDN'T LIKE THE COMMENT. We fear that Dr. D. A. Ferguson is too super-sensitive to make a good politician or an astute political leader. Still, in a way it is none of our business. We had no criticism to make of him or of his efforts and we had him in mind, when we stated that certain leaders, who were far sighted enough to arouse the colored people to the dangers threatening them had not been properly supported by other leaders or by the people. Certainly, when we urged the colored people to get behind the present movement, regardless of their feelings in the matter and work for the discomfiture and defeat of those who would take away from them fundamental rights, we had no intention or desire to arouse any feeling amongst any of the colored leaders now marshaling the colored people's forces. Our editorials were "curious and sarcastic," but, this curiosity and sarcasm dealt primarily with the people who failed to support the movement rather than with those who in season and out for one or two years or even more have striven to arouse them to the dangora. The "horse" to which we referred was the right and privilege of the colored citizens to participate in a regular Republican mass-meeting or convention in this city and in the regular District Republican Convention to elect delegates and to be elected delegates to the State Republican Convention in Roanoke. This "horse" was stolen out of the stable when the colored citizens did not participate in the elections or meetings in the counties of this District and the city of Richmond and if barred out of the meetings did not hold counter meetings at the time and place for the holding of the official meeting and if prohibited from entering the meeting place did not proceed to hold meetings on the outside of the meeting to elect delegates to the respective bodies at the aforesaid time and place, in order to secure by this mode of procedure the claim of party regularity as a regular Republican meeting. In failing to do this, the "Ferguson horse" was captured by Clerk Erady and his associates and ridden away to Roanoke, where they not only remained in undisturbed possession of the stolen animal, but proceeded to rig up another saddle on the rear part of the "horse" and permitted the other contesting white delegates to share in the comforts as a result of having stolen that gaily animal. In the meantime Dr. Ferguson and his friends remained in Richmond, not even making contest. But the brilliant dentist and Ex-Pres. of the Nat. Medical Association seems to be in disfessful ignorance that his "horse" is out of the stable. He relies upon the locks, in which he has carefully turned the key, while the "horse-bor rowers" are on their way to the National Republican Convention at Chicago, still riding this same stolen animal. Unless, Dr. Ferguson hurries, he will arrive in time to see the fine artistic tail of that valuable animal disappearing in the palatial stables of the National Republican organization, while he is vainly protesting on the outside, just as he says he did in 1912 and 1916. In the present arrangement Dr. D. A. Ferguson can make no claim to party regularity. If Clerk James D. Brady and his associates are not entitled to recognition by the National Republican Convention at Chicago, this will not prove that Dr. Ferguson and his associates are entitled to such representation. Under party law, he and they have forfeited their claim to party regularity by blunders that no old line politician would have made. Just why Dr. Ferguson should draw a discussion of fraternal organizations into this political controversy will be a question for the average reader. As a rule, fraternal organizations do not engage in politics and the election of fraternal leaders rests entirely with the people, who under our insurance laws are entitled to say just who should lead them. So carefully is this rule observed that the Bureau of Insurance of Virginia sees to it that the regularly elected representatives shall dominate in the election of officers and not the appointees of the presiding officer. But evidently Dentist D. A. Ferguson did not know this. Dr. Ferguson speaks about autocratic leadership, apparently forgetful of the fact that "I" is the essence of autocracy. "In this same letter, he says, 'I took the initiative after consulting loyal men to call a Republican mass meeting.' According to his statement, he was the forefront of the whole business. The idea of holding the meeting originated with him and he called the meeting. Where was President J. R. Pollard, who has for many months been talking about calling a meeting and perfecting a colored 'folks' organization, "before the horse was stolen out of the stable?" When Clerk Brady spoke, the "Lorse" had not only been stolen, but had been saddled and briddled out of reach of Dr. D. A. Ferguson and his associates. Where was Printer H. H. Price, who for several years has been promoting just such an organization as the one that Leader D. A. Ferguson proposes? But "I, D. A. Ferguson called the meeting." When he was busy pad-locking his stable, both Messrs Pollard and Price knew that the horse had been stolen and were perfecting plans to recapture the animal. What Dr. Ferguson did on the 10th, should have been done many months before. Where was Rev. W. H. Stokes, who has risked his ministerial crime in behalf of his people? Where was Mr. W. D. Jones, Mr. William A. Jordan and a host of others that we might name, who have been striving to arouse the colored people to a sense of their duty? Where was Mr. Charley Johnson, Mr. Collin T. Payne, when Dr. D. A. Ferguson found it necessary to consult with loyal citizens and then denied them the privilege of saying, "We called the meeting." He says, "I called the meeting." But Dr. Ferguson calls the leaders around the fraternal and political leaders, "mugwumps and mollycoddles," and this is the way he expects to enlist sympathy and support for his patriotic movement. So be it. We have no further time to banter words with Dr. Ferguson or those who hold similar views. He and they "have the whip-handle," so far as the colored people are concerned, let them drive ahead. We are publishing the communication sent to us for what it is worth. Let the colored folks follow him. Four years ago President Wilson went before the people with the slogan, "He kept us out of war." Four years afterwards he is going before the people with the campaign slogan, "He kept us out of peace." It looks as though the Republican Party in this State don't want us and the Democratic Party wont have us. The logical conclusion is that we should organize a Party of our own. GOVERNOR ALLEN HEEDS THE APPEAL. Governor Allen of Kansas has declined to honor the requisition made by Governor Brough for the person of Robert L. Hill, charged with complicity in and fomenting the Elaine riots. The surprising thing about the whole matter is the "change of front" on the part of the distinguished Chief Executive of Arkansas. We do not see that any disourtesy was intended to Governor Brough. It was a question of saving a human life. It was certainly established beyond cavil that no colored person charged with complicity in those riots can get a fair trial in that neighborhood in Arkansas. To emphasize the fact that fair play was not contemplated, the charge that, Hill impersonated a United States officer is too flimsy to be considered for a moment. It is an attempt to get Hill back into Arkansas, where after he lands in the State he is to be tried upon the original charge. In our discussion with Rev. Dr. E. C. Morris, we called attention to this fact and advised him that he and his associates could not guarantee Hill a fair and impartial trial should he be carried back there for trial. Dr. Morris said that he believed that Hill was, innocent. Governor Brough, his personal friend says that he believes that he is guilty. If he is guilty-who believes otherwise but that death will be his portion in the great State of Arkansas? In this matter, we think that Governor Allen has shown wise judgment and keen appreciations of conditions in an adjoining State. Governor Brough should remember that the primary THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA THE JUDGE MRS. LLOYD GEORGE SITS AS MAGISTRATE FOR FIRST TIME.

Hill is guilty, he should be punished, but his trial should take place amidst peaceful and orderly surroundings and not where the influence of the mob spi it is also so much in evidence that juries fear to render other than a verdict of guilty. We have had similar experiences in Virginia and it was Governor Charles T. O'Ferrall, a Democrat, who stood in the breach and saved innocent colored people, who otherwise would have gone the "hemp route." It is far better that Governor Brough's feelings should be outraged than that Robert L. Hill's life should be sacrificed. DO YOU KNOW HIM?

At a meeting of the memorial committee, composed of members from the two Pythian Lodges and the Courts of Calanthe, appointed especially for the purpose of considering the placing of some kind of a memorial on the grave of the late H. L. Jackson as a token of appreciation for the good work done by him for the uplift of his race in this community and the county in general. The suggestion originated among the Courts of Calanthe who called it to the attention of the Pythians. The Pythians are not claiming to have tarted the plan as is charged by some of the Court-sisters but they have fallen in line to do their utmost to raise as much money for the purpose as the Calantheans. While the committee was only composed of Pythians and Calantheans the entire community and will be asked for a donation for this purpose. Sir Paul L. Green hill chairman of the committee gave a glowing tribute to the good work done by Mr. Jackson. He said that the entire county owed a tribute of respect to Mr. Jackson, especially along educational lines. Whether or not the entire county contributes the Knights of Pythias and Courts of Calanthe will push this effort to a finish. "He lived not only for himself, but for others." WATERBURY (CONN.) NEWS.
