THE STORY THE WEEK HAS TOLD Washington Notes (By Daniel W. Chang.) (By Daniel W. Causey) Those who were looking forward to "startling things" to come to light in the present investigation into the public school system of Washington, D.C. are somewhat disappointed to learn that the District Court of Appeals has denied the government's motion for a rehearing in the case of H.M. B. Moens, the Dutch anthropologist, charged with exhibiting obscene pictures. The Appellate Court had held that the indictment against Moens was defective in failing to show that he knew of the obscene nature of the pictures. No reason is given for the denial, the paper being adressed merely "motion denied." The special committee investigation conditions in the local school system hold its sessions in the Senate office building. No new developments are reported, save that the character and work of Superintendent Ernest L. Thurston, superintendent of the public schools of the District of Columbia, were warmly praised by Mr. J. B. Larner, former member of the Board of Education. Perhaps the only strange thing that was brought out in the investigation during the week was the remark of Mr. Larner that the colored troops of Washington are for in advance of the average of their race, and that he believed if would be well to have the white and colored schools entirely separate with a board of education and a superintendent for each system. Information is desired as to what Mr. Larner considers the "average" of the race. Negroes in this city are busy making business, John W. Lewis, President of the Industrial Savings Bank, and of the Withela Apartment Hotel has organized another company having as its object the formation of a chain of stores. He is aiming to teach the Negro to help himself and to know that to become economic factors of worth the Negroes must barn to do real business. The Victory Investment Company has been organized and aims to help those of moderate means to purchase homes, and to engage in a general mercantile business. The company is made up of progressive young men of the South, Oscar Hayes is at the head. Murray Brothers, printers and publishers have purchased a large tract of land on which it is proposed to erect a large building to house their printing establishment. The upper floor will be fitted up as a modern anditorium for entertain events. Thomas West, colored employed as a deckhand on the steamer South land, was shot in the groin by Elsa L. Dodson (white) Captain of the Steamer Endeavor. Dodson who adduits the shooting, said he did not intend to shoot West, but merely fired to frighten him from the wharf, where it is allied. West was meddling with the other workers. Dodson was arrested and released on $1,000 bail. KILLS NIECE: SHOOTS SELF "Uncle was drinking something from a jug," said little Benjamin Jackson. Jr., six year old, "and he shot sister because she wouldn't put away some boxes. He told her if she did put 'em away hold kill her." This is what was said of George Jackson, colored, thirty-three years old, who shot and killed his nine-year old niece, Amnes Jackson, at her home 117. Seventh street, Southeast. The police say that Jackson was probably craved by drinking a homemade alcohole preparation, a jug of so-called "jump-steady" and two glasses being found on a table in a rear room. The form of Jackson who had fired a bullet into his head was found in the room. Four shots had been fired. The wounded man was taken to the Freedman's Hospital. REINVAL AT THE THIRD STREET A. M. E.

RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, APRIL, 17, 1920 RETAINSCHARTER Supreme Lodge's Action in Revoking Virginia's Grand Lodge Charter Unlawful. Final Decree Enforced—Still Inside of the Order—Question of Taxes Still Open—Officers and Members in State Unterrified and Possess Two Chapters. The Irrigation between the Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias, N. A. N. A. A. E. E. A. A. A. and the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of Virginia, N. A. N. A. A. E. A. A. A. has ended for the time being only to begin again as the question as to the legality of the membership tax by the Supreme Lodge, which tax under the old constitution was unlawful was not passed upon by the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia although the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia decided that it was unconstitutional. ALL COURTS AGREED All of these courts decided, however that the revolution of the charter of the Grand Lodge of Virginia was unlawful and thoracic null and void. The right of the Supreme Chan color to suspend the Grand Lodge for the issuance of a circular was sustained. The Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of Virginia is accordingly still in the Order of Knights of Pythias and is in lawful possession of its fraternal charter issued by the Supreme Lodge. REFUSED TO PAY. The Grand Lodge was refused to pay any taxes anteceding its suspension from the Order and still refused so to do although Supreme Chancellor Green declares that he wants $1,800.00 before he will lift his act of suspension. The result of the whole matter is that the case is practically right where it was when it started after the Grand Lodge secured an injunction restraining the Supreme Chancellor and the Supreme Lodge from putting into force and effect the action of the Supreme Lodge in revoking the charter of the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of Virginia. UNDER TWO CHARTERS The Grand Lodge, knowing that it is in the right is now proceeding before under two charters, one issued by the State of Virginia, licensed by the Bureau of Insurance in this State and the one issued by the Supreme Lodge. The Supreme Lodge passed a law requiring all Grand Lodges upon demand of the Supreme Chancellor to surrender their State discorporated charters, which makes them independent of the Supreme Lodge. The Grand Lodge of Missouri is operating under such a charter just as is the Grand Lodge, K of P. of Virginia. The contention is that the Supreme Lodge has the right under the Constitution to tax subordinate lodge members. ATTORNEY RPID IN CHARGE Attorney William M. Reid of Portsmouth, with an array of legal talent, has been given charge of future litigation in this celebrated case. Funds are provided to proceed with the case until a final decision is reached on the benefits of a tax that has already been decided to be illegal. Dr E. E. Rieffer and Grand Chancellor, John Milettch, Jr., are the men, now living who entered up on the original litigation --- GREAT SUCCESS AT THE FIIRTH STREET BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. W. B. Reed, D. D., of Hartford Conn., is conducting a great revival meeting at the Fifth Street Baptist Church this week.

Preson, formerly of Richmond, Va., successfully graduated from College of Establishing and Sanitary Science in Philadelphia, Pa. Funeral services of Mr. Richard F. Mosley, a widely known and prominent citizen of Chesterfield County, whose death occurred in the Memorial Hospital on Wednesday, April 7th, 1920; took place in the First Baptist Church on Sunday April 11, at 2 o'clock P.M. Rev. Alfred Britton officiating. Long before the hour of service in MEMORY parishes began to gather, many white friends being in the nursery, and by 2 o'clock the Church was crowded to its capacity, while as many more were on the outside who could not gain entrance. As the funeral party entered the church, the choir softly sang "Come Ye Disciple." The services were most impromptive. Papers from various organizations were read, songs were uttered, beautiful expressions were made by visiting ministers and others, which were followed by the musical sermon, softly delivered, and everything attested to the popularity and high esteem in which the deceased was held. The floral designs were numerous and beautiful. Mr. Moseley was born in Surry County, Va., 60 years ago and at an early age moved to Powhatan County and when still quite young, left there for Chesterfield where he has remained ever since and where his daily walks and beautiful Christian character commanded the admiration and respect of all with whom he came in contact. He served on the Deyon Board of the First Union Baptist Church for 26 years. He leaves to modern life, a widow, Mrs. Eliza Moseley, one daughter, Miss Mozelle Moseley; one son, Richard Seldon Moseley; two brothers, Mr. Robert Moseley of New York; and Mr. M. S. Moseley, of Chesterfield County and a host of friends. "To live in hearts we leave behind not to die." Card of Thanks.

One of the leading features at the session of the state convention held recently was the special session of the Jeanes Supervising teachers working in the state. Prof. W. P. W. Williams, field agent of the Jeanes and Sater fund, was present. AN ERROR CORRECTED. To Whom It May Concern The above publication appeared in the issue of the Richmond Planet of February 21, 1920 signed by Rev. A. D. Daly, pastor of Fifth Baptist Church, Sydney. By this publication he gives to the public misleading statements when he says that Dover Mines Baptist Church has put out its pastor, Rev. W. W. Young after more than thirty years' service and left him to the mercy of his fellow ministers, who are to support him in his last days by offerings. This statement is false and with out foundation. Because of physical inability to serve the church Rev. Young is resigned as pastor. The church voted him. The church voted him concerning with a salary the balance of his life. We exact no service of him other than he voluntarily gives. We pay him until death five-sixths of the salary that he was getting while going full pastorial duties. By the request of Rev. W. W. Young we have called a strong and active leader, and he is in full accord with our action in paying Rev. Young the stated salary the remain- der of his life. Furthermore the newly elected par- tor accepted the church on this cou- tition and there is no reflection up on him nor the church. We wrote Rev. Daly and informed him of his mistake and asked him to correct it through the paper, but up to the present he has not answer- ed us nor made the correction so- lently requested. Done by order of the Dover Mines Church and Rev. W. W. Young. The article in question was as folows; THE DEFENSE IN THIS CONFERENCE OF OUR MINISTRY." It is but natural for a church to want the activities of a young and strong minister. The time demands it as well as work which is more complex and strenuous. Yet the writer is very sorry that the church at Dover Mines could not find a better way to honor their pastor, Rey, W. Young, who has worn himself out in their service of more than thirty years. He is honored and beloved by all of the brethren of this city and vicinity with all that may be said of him as a builder of churches and pastor for he has built many in our vicinity. We understand that from next Sunday to the end of his life which may be very short he is to live by the aid of his fellow ministers who have been asked to take offerings for him. This is a reflection on Dover Mines Baptist Church and this newly elected pastor. --- LINCOLN, UNION, WILBERFORCE ORATE Saturday evening April 30th, at 8:30 P.M. the Lincoln and Virginia Union Universities will stage a great speculative contest in the Va., Union University shaped. The subject is resolved: That Compulsory Arbitration of Industrial Disputes Should become a National Policy. The local debaters will uphold the affirmative side while the visitors will defend the negative. This is the third annual intercollege triangular debate to be held between these schools. In both of these Union broke even. For many years Union has been noted for analytic and oratorical speakers, who have gone much towards maintaining her accuracy in the debating world. The speakers for this year are lacking in none of these qualities and unattributable combination. The team opposing Lincoln will be made up of F. P. Johnson, class of 22 and H. J. McGuintin, class of 22. Johnson possesses wonderful ornamental ability which coupled with the analytic power of McGuintin can bring nothing other than victory when they face Cill and Athias of Lincoln here on April 20th. Union will send H. S. Brown, class of 22 and R. S. Taylor class of 22, to North Ohio to meet Wilberforce. Brown is a very clear and forceful speaker and has had two years experience in the interpolite debates. He was a member of the team that defeated Wilberforce at Niagara two years ago and is sure of something this year. Taylor is perennial for his first time but is quickly developing into a logical and decent speaker. He was first place in the preliminaries and evidently chose to win as a great fame in the forensic world as he has in the athletic sphere. RACE - COUNTRY - WORLD NEWS PRICE, FIVE CENTS Roy. M. B. Davis Returned. Rev. M. E. Davis, pastor of the Third Street A. M. E. Church has returned from his Annual Conference held in Wytheville, April 7-11th. Rev.

An appeal to the Public to raise funds to purchase a Player, including Religious records to be presented to Miss Elizabeth A. Coles one of the Public School teachers and mess onaries who is about to leave as en route to the Heathen Lands where we believe God has called her to go and labor in that portion of His vineyard. In talking she expressed a desire to have a piano, it would help her so much in her work. I promised I would do all that was in my purpose to have her desire fulfilled. Owing to my being sick in my home for nine weeks it has handicapped me. Therefore, to try to fulfil my promise I make this appeal to every Insurance, Public School teacher, society, club and citizen of Richmond to please give or send a donation to aid along this line, be it large or small. Please deposit with name and address all moneys, or checks in the St. Luke's Penny Savings Bank There will be a book to record all names of Insurance, teachers, societies, clubs and persons, so they can be given to Miss Coles, and the names and amounts raised will be published each week. Every one now has a chance to render aid to this most worthy cause and show the missionary spirit towards the Heathen. Thanking you in advance and hoping this plea will meet with a hearty cooperation of the public, I remain yours for the cause. MRS. ZEMORIA J.

We have regarded with much concern the steady disposition of the present day statesmen and diplomate to break down the legislative and constitutional bars erected by the foremost statesmen of the world as a result of centuries of experience in protecting and defending the rights of the minority as against the ruthless and autocratic exorose of authority and power by an inflamed and thoughtless majority. Those restrictions and safeguards have been abused, but the resulting damage by their complete elimination is now just being realised. No class of people on the face of the globe have suffered more than the colored people in this country by the ruthless exercise of power by an irresponsible majority. Hon. William J. Bryan has done more than any other individual to destroy those safeguards and he was later supported by that peerless leader, Col. Theodore Roosevelt. As a result, the trusts were attacked and nearly destroyed. Then legitimate business came in turn for its era of persuasion. Then came the public press, the newspaper and publishing interests and then the railroads, the most interests and last came the whiskey interests, which saw millions of dollars of their capital and products destroyed without let or hindrance from any quarter. In line with this spirit of intolerance and the ruthless exercise of power came the destruction of parties and labor organizations of a certain kind. Under the plan that they were disloyed and were plotting the overthrow of the present system of government, the Industrial Workers of the World became subject of prosecution and persecution. The Socialists found their turn next and one of the oldest advocates of the principles and policies of that great organization and party was incarcerated in a Federal prison, from the cell of which he is now waging a canvass for the presidency of the United States. Along the line of this same spirit of intolerance, which is the unconfined sweep of the will of the majority five Socialists duly elected members of the New York legislature. have been denied the seats to which they have been legally elected. This denial is based upon the ground that the political party, to which they belong is disloyal, that its teachings and principles are infemal to our form of Government. Is the American Republic a failure? Has the mandate of law been replaced by the command of the mob, now called the majority? What redress can these men in this Party have, when the Constitution and the law provides that each legislative body shall be the judge of the eligibility and qualification of those persons elected to membership? The legislative and the judicial department of the government are co-ordinate, that is equal. Under this construction, the one has no more power than the other. It looks to us as though representative government is on trial, a very severe trial and that the day of reason and fair play has not dawned in this country for more than a decade. We take it that this is the logical result of tabooing and discarding the rights and privileges of black people in this country. It has led to the tabooing and the discarding of the rights and privileges of white people in this game Republic. The New York World in its issue of April 4, 1930, says: The legislative lynching that took place yesterday in Albany was decided upon nearly three months ago when Speaker Sweet suspended five Socialist members of the Assembly on the ground that the platform on which they were elected "is absolutely inimical to the heat interests of the State of New York and of the United States." The hearing before the Judiciary Committee was merely a concession to form. Having got out to promote his candidacy for Governor by ex-polling the Socialist Assemblymen in proof of his militant 100 per cent. Americanism." Speaker Sweet was obliged to see the thing through, in spite of the protests of bar associations and of the ablest and most responsible members of his party. It is not difficult for a Speaker to carry out such a programme. He apoints the committees and is the master of legislation. No member who offends him is likely to receive much consideration on local bills, which are often the measure of his value to his constituents, and so the A REVELATION 1 THE BOOK OF SEVEN SEALS by Lucile year 1890 laid on her bed for twenty-four day visits; was commanded by God to write the book.

New York World has taken high ground and no justice loving citizen of color can fail to heed its appeal. Right here in Richmond, colored American citizens are having barred from participating in Republic can "primarized" by socical Republic white leaders and from the democratic primaries by white Democratic leaders. They are strangers in midst of their home folks so far as politics is concerned. The present system of representative government is a sham. Under pretence of religion athletics have secured possession and are profaning the Temple of Justice. It may be that the American people will awaken to the dangers that how threaten and that before it is too late right principles may be ascendant again in the land.

ESTABLISHED 1845 ADAMS AND BROAD --- --- ```markdown ``` which make the skim velvet-like, the hair slik jike. Write for catalogue flat of an arbitrary Speaker easily becomes law. That is what happened at Albany and by the irony of fate Mr. Sweet's programme was consummated on All Fool's Day. This is drastic language but the New York World, one of the most influential journals in the United States is responsible for the use of it. It continues: The Constitution of the United States guarantees to every State "a republican form of government." That form of government has caused for the time being to exist in New York. There can be no republican form of government when minority parties are arbitrarily outlawed, when representation is denied, when legal elected and legally qualified members of the Legislature are expelled because their political principles are offensive to the majority, when whole constitencies are arbitrary detranchished because they refuse to vote the way somebody else thinks they ought to vote. The Constitution of the United States does guarantee to every State a Republican form of government, but this guarantee has been nullified in practically every southern State for more than a decade. This nation could not exist one half slave and the other half free and it cannot exist one half disfranchised and the other half enfranchised. In the language of the New York World "That form of government has ceased for the time being to exist in" other States than New York. There can be no Republican form of government in any State, North or South when minority parties are arbitrarily outlawed, when representation is denied Colored people and white people have been the victims of just this kind of treatment. It occurred in the southern States on "yesterday." It is occurring in northern ones "today." What are you going to do about it? The New York World says further: This is the negation of republican government in effect it sets up the principle that minorities have no rights that majorities are bound to respect, that all constitutional some dies are denied to them and that they must resort to violence for the promotion of their political beliefs and for the redress of their grievances. Even the Kaiser never went as far as sweet has gone. Even the Prussian Junkers were never able to throw the German Socialists out of the Reichstag. The action of the Assembly makes the re-establishment of representative government the vital concern of every man and woman in New York who believes in. American institutions and is determined to maintain them. Under the law there will be no special elections to which the expelled Assemblymen can appeal, but there will be a general election in the fall, and so far as The World is concerned it intends to support these Assemblymen for re-election. During all the years of its existence this newspaper has been uncompromisingly opposed to Socialism both in theory and in practice; it remains uncompromisingly opposed to Socialism both in theory and in practice; but the political and economic beliefs of these five men have now become of no importance in relation to the vital issue that is raised by their expulsion. If the people of New York are to retain their free institutions, if they are not to be Russianized by their stupid politicians, their first concern must be the restoration of representative government, which was overthrown yesterday in Albany by the Assembly. This is a ringing call to duty. The THE RICHMOND PLANET RICHMOND VIRGINIA PRIZES FOR EVERYBODY READ THE LIST and MAKE YOUR SELECTION NOW !

(Reproduced by Request.) To contemplate the spectacle of a legislature turning loose laws upon a long suffering people in blocks of a baker's dozen, one would suppose that our legislators imagined that the State was suffering from a dearth of law, instead of being slow but barely strangled to death with the dry rot of too much law and too little liberty. The real need of this State, and the whole world is less law and more liberty. More freedom to pursue and practice the right which our laws prevent. Therefore, do not be surprised at the little good accomplished by these really talented legislators, but rather be startled at the littleness of the evil wrought out, under the basic law of the commonwealth which sanctions and makes lawful the low vice of the theft, and a minor law, which punishes an offence when he practises the Golden Rule. A WARNING TO LEGISLATORS. Permit me gently to warn you gem tamouth of the legislature and all other ers interested, now to be startled at the sight of any monstrous incongruity, which may at any time come stall ag up the pike for like Biggels like. Love begets love: Hate breeds hate and theft sanctioned by the State breeds thieves. Thieves, begot by the State breed the gangrene of corpure tion, which grawns out the State's vit als and it only remains for the plow simo of fate to turn it under and hide it from the blishing faces of just men with the red cinders of internecine war. Virginia which permits the annual increment of land value, its milk and life-blood to be drained way through the severed arteries private appropriations into the lake heads, grasping idle lands, sanctions an injustice, which lays the cockatiel egg of bohemianism, and the low wages of workers and the high wages of leftovers will most surely hatch it out if the present incubating temperature continues. A CALL TO BRASON Come, let us reason together with the man of the people, whom organiz ed saperdition daily crucifes afresh. Do men gather graps from thorns, or tags from thistles? By its fruit, you may know a State. Does society the mother of the State gather mil lionaires and mendicante from de mocracy, or vice and crime from Christianity? The stately seedling of democracy fertilized by a nation's blood and watered by its tears, bears no such incongruous fruit unless a scion from plutoracy the upas tree has been grafted into its splendid foliage by a grafter pointed out by a venal. press, selected by a primary of parity hate, and elected by 30 per cent of the State citizenry fined a $1.50 a head for showing an interest in the wolffare of the commonwealth. Vice and crime in a Christian government are as incongruous as an iceberg in the South Pacific Ocean or a snow-ball in Hell. The gleaming white rose tree of Christianity conceived in the white soul of Jesus, born and brought forth in the agony of plutocracy's cross bathed and hup-tized in a fathomless fountain of regenerating love, fertilized by the blood of a broken heart, and watered by tears of grief and pity, bears no such scarlet blooms as vice and crime unless the preachers for reverue, who have distorted every great religion committed to their care, turning their blessed precepts into a blind substitution of faith and fear, buttressed by bigotry and bile, aided and abetted by the abortive bastard of plutocracy, born of the adulterous and incestuous marriage of Church and State, baptized with the tears of stunted children and sucked at the withered breast of Virginia, the once robust mother, from whose bonny buxom bosom sturdy statesmen sucked enough of virtue, wisdom and courage to guide safely amid the rugged rocks of war the new built ship of State, have blowered across its pure foliage a lambent flame of unnatural taxation from hell-hot half acre, scorching its immaculate whiteness into the blood red rose of hat and war. A QUERY FOR PREACHERS Why do the preachers, who stand in the front rank of respectability and clean living, sanction a scheme of taxation whose stupendous power debauses and onslaves when this same force could be safely and scientifically directed into channels which would elevate and save? Simply be cause while applying the simple rules of science sense to manners and measures in the narrow circle of home and church, they fail to apply those same sane and safe rules in the wider circle of State and nation. And thus they crawl amid the murky meadows of a dead past, trailing the burden of justice and Jesus in the closes of a tax scheme, the incidences of which offend the dignity of the soul, and reduce to subservience the principles right and justice embodied in every declaration of independence, every bill of rights of man, and crushed to the mire of noxious desuette the spirit of liberty, courage and hope, which sleep in all of the great charters wrested from tyranny since government began. RINGING PHILLIPIC Where there is no vision, the nation must perish. Born of the heat and moisture of God's body, we human insects are perforce divine, and the golden glories so far foretold lie now, and ever and forever at our feet. But the monstrous superstition of faith and fear, lisped by rosy Hos at mother's knee, breeds and blows black clouds across the shining path way which leads soaring and safe over doubt's dark top, where breaks that other world of peace, plenty, parity and power on the light kissed hills of here and now. Love your mother and reverence the religion under which she lived and died, but follow Jesus, the Past Grand Master of political economy under the blazing light of the science and sense of the twentieth century, for the flame that once flashed from Shimal's top now amoullors under the dead ashes of 6,000 years of blood and tears, and the light that once gleaned for a brief span from Calvary's crest is fast falling away under the fatuous smoke of superstition from formalty's forge, where the stern metaphor of the Master is searched into a mean ingless flower of custom speech and upon the glowing gold anvil of riches the needle's eye of steel, heated by the noxious flames of benzaldehyde bated breath and bile is expanded into a triumphal arch through which the rich may ride their hum an amnesia into the kingdom. OAUSTIC CRITICISM. A patiance of $7,000 a year for preaching the unsearchable riches of the gospel is either a disgrace to religion or it is an egregious and gracious insult flung in the face of the lawly Jesus, who plucked two wheat to feed his famished frame, worn weary trumpeting Judas's stony hills to reach and move the stonier house of meat. Justice is a relation of congratury, which subsists between two things. A gleaming jewel in a swine's snout and a Jesus, with a $7,000 salary, a limousine, and a private sacre rotary would balance so level that the sow's grunt or a split hair would turn the scale. Year after year, under storm and stress, with one or two media a day, I teach salvation from sin through just textration. I love the good things, which money buys, but just now, am so busy that I have no time to earn it. *The days of the nations bear no trace.* Of all the sunshine, so far foretold; The common spraaks in the teacher's place The ago is weary with work and gold. And high hopes wither, and memories wane; Oh hearies and altars the fires are dead; But that brave faith hath not lived in vain— And this is all that our watcher said." Under absolute eternal and in inexerable in worm the footstok to the grave, and across the skiming glory of death's deep river of sleep we live for death is but a mode of motion, a passing phase of life and our "lit life is rounded" with a sleep." These same laws ever acting and reacting in time and space, which makes small and captious the mind of one enlarges and enlightens the mind of the other, and none can stay or stem. The man cursed with a small and captious mind, blind to the heights beyond, be he potentate or preacher is no more responsible for this misfortune than he is for the color of his eyes or a deformed chin because the individual mind takes its tone from the idiosyncrasies of the body over the making of which he had no power, either to mar or to mend. THE PAINFUL TRUTH This painful truth burned into the restless, suffering soul of the philosopher, breeds a contempt for man-made punitive law or justice. The isolation of man upon a ball of matter whirling through space, coming from whence we know not, and whither bound, (who shall say) should in all, and does in the great, beget fortitude and forbearance, a pity vast as heaven and breeds within his soul a charity which suffers long and is kind. For these strong hearted and keen sigged teachers having passed through the school of sorrow where is born all of life's beauty, and "standing as it wore upon the mountains tops of thought and looking over life's shadowy ocean of unrest have behold the loom of land with its living gleam of pasting woods and glint of laughing waters." LEARNED IN THE DEPTUS For lessons are learned in the depths, which could never be learned on the heights, though we soar to heaven and listen entranced, while Michael sings tenor to Gabriel's bass, "Thou shalt not," flung down not from heaven, but from Sinai's flaming crest amid the thunders of the law of a barbarous code, engraved on stone to force into decency a stiff necked generation of slaves, crouching beneath the Egyptian lash, will never raise to the sun-lit heights of purity and plenitude of power this nation, which has inherited its love of liberty from forbearers, who were nursed at white breasts, for a thousand years across the sea. MAN'S PARDONING LOVE Not the negative, but only the act live, stipenduous power of man's par dening love, aided and abetted by a natural and scientific system of taxation is equal to this amazing and titanic task. Association in, and with equality of taxation is Jeffersonian democracy, and the law of progress, sanctioned by Jesus. No man born of woman and crushed beneath the iron heel of man-made law, out of harmony with natural law, ever knowingly pursued and grasped the lad, when the good was within his reach. To say that he does, is to deny his divinity, debase him below the beast, and quench forever his hopes and aspirations. THE MAXIMS OF PERFECTION The maxims of perfection taught by Jesus were directed, not to the individual, (for it is impossible for the individual to reach perfection under a code of laws, the antithesis of justice, the supreme law) but to society, and while he never fails to conquer with his pardoning love the sins of the individual against XII.

Jesus knew that man is too sacred and divine to be punished by manmade law, unless it harmonizes with the natural law, engraved, not upon the hard senseless block dug from the stony heart of Sinna's burning crest, but written upon the imperishable tablets of every human soul not a line or a letter of which may be disorted from its rich meaning, warped by translation, nor dimmed by distance. Contemplation, experience and education accumulated and fixed is conscience; and the law of Justice the soul of God will never suffer a single one of earth's tooming millions to run the risk of losing his Bible, the lamp which lights his path amid the sharp rocks of unfaith. Thru stupidity, organized religion is silent upon the monotonic question of taxation, upon the solution of which depends our salvation or damnation; and organized and unorganized labor by reason of the same brand and grade of stupidity regards the church as the willing hand-mark of oppression because of hor silence. THAT VOICELESS PRAYER Give me this day my daily light is the wordless, voiceless prayer of humanity's hungry heart. Light, light more light, and a fiercer fight with hell's tritue god of stupid taxation, a blood-thirsty god, and blind faith and fear will face the faltering feet of humanity far the up, rise sides of truth's holy hill now hid by the mists of foolish fear, and unfaith in man. "Canst thou by search find out God? Canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection? The search for the unattainable, the good, the true, the beautiful, always elevates, ennobles, purifies and strengthens the mind; but when the search ends in fruition, progress sinks to an utmost grave. THE LORD'S MESSENGER How marvelous are the ways of God! The city was filled to overflowing with people, who had found the Lord; And the Lord seeing their hopeless condition and being always eager to aid the helpless sent His servant, who with his twenty thousand dollar magic and diamond plate contours, plucked its cheap soul from a blazing hell; thus finishing in a few weeks, a work that was too big for the home plant, costing millions, of dollars and free of all taxes, both municipal and state.

A, in Big Drive (American Negro Press) Washington, D. C. April—Collection of funds to make up the required sum of $25,000 for maintenance of the Y. W. C. A. building for the colored branch of that service will continue this week, the subject of Y. W. C. A. work having been given special attention in many churches. The building at 9th and Rhode Island Avenue is going up rapidly, funds for the construction having been appropriated by the var work council of the association during 1915. THE STORY THE WEEK HAS TOLD (By Daniel W. Chase.) Those who were looking forward to "startling things," to come to light in the present investigation into the public school system of Washington, D. C., are somewhat disappointed to learn that the District Court of Appeals has denied the government's motion for a rehearing in the case of H. M. B. Moens, the Dutch anthropologist, charged with exhibiting obscene pictures. The Appellate Court had hold that the indictment against Moens was defective in failing to show that he knew of the obscene nature of the pictures. No reason is given for the denial, the paper being adorned merely "motion denied." The special committee investigating conditions in the local school system hold its sessions in the Senate office building. No new developments are reported, save that the character and work of Superintendent Ernest L. Thurston, superintendent of the public schools of the District of Columbia, were warmly praised by Mr. J. B. Larner, former member of the Board of Education. Perhaps the only strange thing that was brought out in the investigation during the week was the remark of Mr. Larner that the colored people of Washington are far in advance of the average of their race, and that he believed it would be well to have the white and colored schools entirely separate with a board of education and a superintendent for each system. Information is desired as to what Mr. Larner considers the "average" of the race. Negroes in this city are busy making business. John W. Lewis, President of the Industrial Savings Bank and of the Whitloa A apartment Hotel has organized another company having as its object the formation of a chain of stores. He is aiming to teach the Negro to help himself and to know that to become economic factors of worth the Negroes must learn to do real business. The Victory Investment Company has been organized and aims to help those of moderate means to purchase homes, and to engage in a general mercantile business. The company is made up of progressive young men of the South. Oscar Hayes is at the head. Murray Brothers, printers and publishers have purchased a large tract of land on which it is proposed to erect a large building to house their printing establishment. The upper floor will be fitted up as a modern auditorium for entertainments. Thomas West, colored, employed as a deckhand on the steamer South land, was shot in the groin by Eppa L. Dodson (white) Captain of the Steamer Endeavor. Dodson who admits the shooting, said he did not intend to shoot West, but merely fired to frighten him from the wharf, where it is alleged. West was meddling with the other workers. Dodson was arrested and released on $1,000 bail. KILLS NIECE: SHOOTS SELE "Uncle was drinking something from a jug," said little Benjamin Jackson, Jr., six years old, "and he shot sister because she wouldn't put away some boxes. He told her if she didn't put 'em away he'd kill her." This is what was said of George Jackson, colored, thirty-three years old, who shot and killed his nine-year-old niece, Agnes Jackson, at her home 1117 Seventh Street, Southeast. The police say that Jackson was probably crazed by drinking a home-made at colliolic preparation, a jug of so-called "jump-steady" and two glasses being found on a table in a rear room. The form of Jackson who had fired a bullet into his head was found in the room. Four shots had been fired. The wounded man was taken to the Freedman's Hospital. --- REVIVAL AT THE THIRD STREET A. M.

RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, APRIL 17, 1920 RETAINS CHARTER Supreme Lodge's Action in Revoking Virginia's Grand Lodge Charter Unlawful. Final Decree Entitled—Still Inside of the Order—Question of Taxes Still Open—Officers and Members in State Uncertified and Possess Two Charters. The litigation between the Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias, N. A.; S. A.; E.; A.; A, and A., and the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of Virginia, N. A., S. A., E.; A, and A., has ended for the time being only to begin again as the question as to the legality of the membership tax by the Supreme Lodge, which tax under the old constitution was unlawful was not passed upon by the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia although the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia decided that it was unconstitutional. ALL COURTS AGREED All of these courts decided how ever that the revocation of the charter of the Grand Lodge of Virginia was unlawful and therefore null and void. The right of the Supreme Chan cellor to suspend the Grand Lodge for the issuance of a circular was sustained. The Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of Virginia is accordingly still in the Order of Knights of Pythias and is in lawful possession of its fraternal charter issued by the Supreme Lodge. REFUSED TO PAY. The Grand Lodge has refused to pay any taxes autodating its suspension from the Order and still refuses so to do although Supreme Chancellor Green declares that he wants $1,800.00 before he will lift his act of suspension. The result of the whole matter is that the case is practically right where it was when it started after the Grand Lodge secured an injunction 'restraining the Supreme Chancellor and the Supreme Lodge from putting into force and effect the action of the Supreme Lodge in revoking the charter of the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of Virgin- UNDER TWO CHARTERS The Grand Lodge, knowing that it is in the right is now proceeding as before under two charters—one issued by the State of Virginia, licensed by the Bureau of Insurance in this State and the one issued by the Supreme Lodge. The Supreme Lodge passed a law requiring all Grand Lodges upon demand of the Supreme Chancellor to surrender their State unincorporated charters, which makes them independent of the Supreme Lodge. The Grand Lodge of Missouri is operating under such a charter just as is the Grand Lodge, K. of P., of Virginia. The contention is that the Supreme Lodge has the right under the Constitution to tax subordinate lodge members. ATTORNEY REID IN CHARGE Attorney William M. Reid of Portsmouth, with an array of legal talent has been given charge of future litigation in this celebrated case. Funds are provided to proceed with the case again until a final decision is reached on the legality of a tax that has already been decided to be illegal. Dr. E. R. Jefferson and Grand Chancellor, John Mitchell, Jr., are the men, now living who entered up on the original litigation. GREAT SUCCESS AT THE FIIRTH STREET BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. W. B. Diped, D. D., of Hartford Conn., is conducting a great revival meeting at the Fifth Street Baptist Church this week. The full capacity of the church has been utilized and it has been necessary to hold an over flow meeting. Each night this distinguished pulpit orator and evangelist has preached from a different text to the infinite satisfaction of his hearers. Rev. Dr. T. J. King had no arranged affairs that here has been no hitch whatever in the religious repast that he has prepared for the people of Richmond aired for the people of Richmond While here Dr. Reed is the guest of Rev. Dr. King and his Madame. Next week will be a continuation of this gospel feast and everybody is invited to come out and regale themselves with the tempting offerings laid before them. —Mr. Wm. E. Preston, formerly of Richmond, Va., successfully graduated from College of Enabling and Sanitary Science in Philadelphia, Pa. Funeral of Mr. R. F. Mosoley Funeral services of Mr. Richard F. Moseley, a widely known and prominent citizen of Chesterfield County, whose death occurred in the Memorial Hospital on Wednesday, April 7th, 1920; took place in the First Union Baptist Church on Sunday April 11, at 2 o'clock P. M. Rev. Alfred Britton officiating. Long before the hour of service for mense things began to gather, many white friends being in the number; and by 2 o'clock the Church was crowded to its capacity, while as many more were on the outside who could not gain entrance. As the funeral party entered the church, the choir softly sang "Come Ye Disconsolate." The services were most impressive. Papers from various organizations were read, solos were sung, beautiful expressions were made by visiting ministers and others, which were followed by the funeral sermon, ably delivered, and everything attested to the popularity and high esteem in which the deceased was held. The floral designs were numerous and beautiful. Mr. Moschew was born in Surry County, Va., 65 years ago and at an early age moved to Powhatan County and when still quite young, left there for Chesterfield where he has remained ever since and where his daily walks and beautiful Christian character commanded the admiration and respect of all with whom he came in contact. He served on the Deacon Board of the First Union Baptist Church for 26 years. He leaves to mourn that loss, a widow, Mrs. Eliza Moseley, one daughter, Miss Mozelle Moseley; one son, Richard Seldon Moseley; two brothers Mr. Robert Moseley of New York; and Mr. M. S. Moseley, of Chesterfield County and a host of friends. "To live in hearts we leave behind." "to live in hearts we leave behind is not to die." Card of Thanks. Mrs. Eliza Moseley of Chesterfield County, V., wishes to thank her friends and neighbors for their kindness and many expressions of sympathy extended to her during the illness and death of her husband, Mr. Richard F. Moseley. May God's richest blessings rest upon them all. --- A W. Holmes, Supreme Master and Members of the National Ideal Benefit Society.

To Whom It May Concern: The above publication appeared in the issue of the Richmond Planet of February 21, 1920 signed by Rev. A. D. Daly, pastor of Fifth Baptist Church, Sydney. By this publication he gives to the public misleading statements when he says that Dover Mines Baptist Church has put out its pastor, Rev. W. W. Young after more than thirty years' service and left him to the mercy of his fellow ministers, who are to support him in his last days by offerings. This statement is false and with cut foundation. Because of physical inability to serve the church, Rev. Young resigned as pastor. The church voted him per emeritus with a salary the balance of his life. We exact no service of him other than he voluntarily gives. We pay him until death five-sixths of the salary that he was getting while doing full pastorial duties. By the request of Rev. W. W. Young we have called a strong and active leader, and he is in full record with our action in paying Rev. Young the stated salary the remainder of his life. Furthermore, the newly elected pastor accepted the church on this condition and there is no reflection up on him nor the church. We wrote Rev. Daly and informed him of his mistake and asked him to correct it through the paper, but up to the present he has not answered us nor made the correction so kindly requested. Done by order of the Dover Mines Baptist Church and Rev. W. W. Young. FRANK DIXON, Clerk. The article in question was as follows: "THE DEFENSE IN THE CONFERENCE OF OUR MINISTRY." It is but natural for a church to want the activities of a young and strong minister. The time demands it as well as work which is more complex and strenuous. Yet the writer is very sorry that the church at Dover Mines could not find a better way to honor their pastor, Rev. W. Young, who has worn himself out in their service of more than thirty years. He is honored and beloved by all of the brethren of this city and vicinity with all that may be said of him as a builder of churches and pastor for he has built many in our vicinity. We understand that from next Sunday to the end of his life which may be very short he is to live by the aid of his fellow ministers who have been asked to take offerings for him. This is a reflection on Dover Mines Baptist Church and this newly elected pastor. LANCOLN, UNION, WILBERFORCE DEBATE. briday evening April 30th, at 8:15 P. M. the Lincoln and Virginia Union Universities will stage a great forensic contest in the Va., Union University Chapel. The subject Is Resolved: That Compulsory Arbitration of Industrial Disputes Should Become a National Policy. The local debaters will uphold the affirmative side while the visitors will defend the negative. This is the third annual intercollege triangular debate to be held between these schools. In both of these Union broke even. For many years Union has been noted for analytic and oratorical speakers, who have done much towards maintaining her autonomy in the debating world. The speakers for this year are lacking in none of these qualities and unbeatable combination. The team on posing Lincoln will be made up of P. D. Johnson, class of '23 and H. J. McGuinn, class of '22. Johnson possesses wonderful oratorial ability which coupled with the analytic power of McGuinn can bring nothing other than victory when they face Bill and Atkins of Lincoln here on April 30th. Union will send H. S. Brown, class of '21 and S. B. Taylor class of '22, to Xenfa, Ohio to meet Wilberforce. Brown is a very clear and forceful speaker and has had two years experience in the intercollegiate debates. He was a member of the team that defeated Wilberforce at Xenfa two years ago and is sure of repeating this year. Taylor is paricipating for his first time but is rapidly developing into a logical and thoughtful speaker. He won first place in the preliminaries and evidently plus to win as great fame in the forensic world as he has in the athletic sphere. PRICE, FIVE CENTS Rev. M. H. Davis Returned. Rev. M. E.

An appeal to the Public to raise funds to purchase a Player, including Religious records to be presented to Miss Elizabeth A. Coles one of the Public School teachers and missionaries who is about to leave us on rent to the Heathen Lands where we belove God has called her to go and labor in that portion of His vineyard. In talking she expressed a desire to have a piano, it would help her so much in her work. I promised I would do all that was in my power to have her desire fulfilled. Owing to my being sick in my home for nine weeks it has handicapped me. Therefore, to try to fill my promise I make this appeal to every Insurance, Public School teacher, society, club and citizen of Richmond to please give or send a donation to aid along this line, be it large or small. Please deposit with name and address all moneys, or checks in the $1. Luke's Penny Savings Bank. There will be a book to record all names of Insurancees, teachers, societies, clubs and persons, so they can be given to Miss Coles and the names and amounts raised will be published each week. Every one now has a chance to render aid to this most worthy cause and show their missionary spirit towards the Heathens. Thanking you in advance, and hop ing this plea will meet with a hearty co-operation of the public. I remain yours for the cause. MRS. ZEMORIA J. WOOD, 615 Judah Street.

Mr. Wilson is a former member of Parliament. For a considerable time he represented the London Daily News as Parliamentary reporter and is now that paper's American correspondent. 一 (By P. W. Wilgon.) The Supreme Council of the League of Nations has issued the announcement that France, Britain, Belgium, and the Union of South Africa are to be mandatories for Gorman colonies in that continent. By a stroke of the pen, populations numbering 12,000,000 are transferred from one sovereignty to others, doubtless for their advantage yet without a plebiscite or other method of consultation. Some of us had hoped that under the League, Negro Africa would have been consolidated, like India, with this difference, that the Government would have been international. This ideal has not been realized. Africa remains divided and is part of the spoils of war. And the arrangement means that the white man has still to solve the problem of the black man, which becomes more formidable with every year that passes. At this moment of upholstery there are 1,600 millions of persons, living unaccentedly on this planet. Of those por sons, one in every ten is of Negro blood, and everywhere the Negro is in a vague forment somewhat, resembling the unrest in the Moslem world. If there had been no war all it is clear that with gradually in proving education and his own churches and newspapers, the color man must have become conscious of his own international origin and destiny. But the war has stimulated that awakening. From the United States alone not far short of 200,000 Negroes entered the content. In the French Army there were numerous Sangealege and similar regiments while I have myself addressed West African troops in the British Army. Mr. Winston Churchill was all for flooding Europe with as many Asiatic and African soldiers as could be recruited anyhow, and of course the emergency was severe. But the white man has now to face the consequences of summoning the native races to set the his own recruits. Before the war the Negroes were what the late Gen. Booth would have called a submerged tent. Whether in the New World or in the Old, the cause of Ham hung heavy over these primal races. In the South of the United States the Negro has achieved economic freedom, but has not yet rived at social and political equality. In Africa his proper home, he has been the servant of the gold and diamond mines, the victim of the rubber fland and the helpless slave of the Moslem raider. Of all great Negro States Abbyrinia alone maintains independent. And here civilization, though ancient, is still adult maternity. Some years ago I spent a week end in England with the young King of Uganda, who is a Christian and the representative of a dynasty, boasting, I think, twenty-eight consecutive generations. But he had a British tutor and his country was a protectorate. While Liberia is a fairly successful experiment, Hayt is an admitted failure, and it is clear that he the practice of self-government the Negro—even when he uses the phrases—has yet a great deal to learn. To repatriate him to his ancestral tropics in Africa is no solution of his difficulties. For him there is not and can not be any policy of "Zionism." Side by side with the white man, and under a white man's administration, he must live, and live, if he can countedly. Sogregation is not practical politics. Where the Negroes are most national—that is, in countries entirely inhabited by them—they are the least able to face the actualities of modern progress. The spirious thing is that we we asking the Negro to be at ease in a world which is itself out of joint. Every word said about self-determination awakens a wild echo in his heart. Hitherto his grievances have been local, and the Negro who was flogged on the Rand did not worry very much about the Negro who was lynched in Kentucky. But under the leadership of men like Mr. Du Bois, the Negroes are, as it were, mobilizing their grievances, so that the same journal will advertise a delegation of Basuto chiefs to the British Government and the Jim Crow car in Alabama. Between the British Empire and the United States, therefore the Negro furnishes a now point of contact. Politically this may not come in importance with Ireland, yet it will tell, none the less. Over Negroes in the Old World, Britain is the leading suzerain, and in the New York this is the position of the United States, whether within her own borders or in Hayfield and San Domingo. Already we have American newspapers of Negro editorship sometimes excluded from the British West Indies at the very moment when Congress is talking of measures to restrict the passage of these same newspapers through the Ameri- can mails. For the intellect of the Negro move ment is in this country. Mr. Du Bois himself is a Harvard man. In his pit loss way the scientist tells us that the brain of the gorilla weighs fifteen ounces and of the Negro thirty-five ounces; and of the white Caucasus ten forty-five ounces; but there are millions of persons classed as color ed who have white blood and white hairs; without enjoying white privileges. In Brazil and other South American republics the color bar is not rigid, and in Jamaica the planters and the official classes are playing off the mulattoes against the blacks who do the common work of the sugar industry. But here in the United States, owing largely to the short age of unskilled labor, the Negro is be coming immensely prosperous, running his own clubs and banks, with out, however, drawing any nearer to race equality. The result is that he has the time and the resources to conduct an international agitation the effects of which will be felt far beyond these shares. Thousands of Jamaican Negroes, for instance, are coming to the United States, despite all the stories of lynching, because they are tired of the miserable pit-tances which they have been earning on the plantations, with the discriminative taxation and the low standard of education. The ideal policy for Africa was laid down once for all in this country when the reservations for Indians were established thirty years ago. There you had the assertion of a definite principle that the native population of a given area should be the sole beneficiary of any industrial development within that area. If oil is struck, the Indians get the proceeds. Every individual Indian has a watchful guardian in Uncle Sam, who protects the man even from his own folly or inexperience. If that principle had been applied to Africa there would never have been the rubber horrors and the depopulation of certain German territories. The American Indians were, of course, few in numbers, and it has not been difficult to make a generous provision for them. The trouble in the case of Africa is that the white man is in a small minority, and he argues that if he follows the American Indian precedent he must give away everything to the native and have nothing at all left for himself. What seems to be needed is an in dependent authority empowered to hold the balance even between the native and the trader. It was hoped that on the Congo the late Kink Leo gold of Belgium would have noted in this capacity, but he became himself a profiteer, and it required King Albert to put the matter straight again. In that case the crucial point was at what price and under what conditions rubber was to be supplied. Other similar products are palm oil and coconut. On such exports the native should be assured a fair deal. Yet this is not easy to guarantee. Not only is the British Parliament on grossed in affairs nearer home, but the whole of the southern section of South Africa is now self-governing, so far as the white man is concerned. When a deputation of chiefs visits some Minister like Mr. Walter Long at the Colonial Office in Downing Street the answer is that the home Cabinet cannot interfere with the do mission Prime Minister—that is, Gen. Smuts—on the spot. And, indeed, it is so. The recent election in South Africa, in which the Labor Party joined with the Nationalists against the Straits Government on a platform of independence, shows how little South Africa is inclined just at present to be lectured by England or anybody else on the proper treatment of her natives. It is a little like the jealousy with which the South here listens to criticis a from the North, on her treatment of the Negro. America, will of course, recognize the fact that Britain, being herself under the searchlight in India and Ireland and Egypt, is watching the record of the United States in respect of the Negro. The fact that colored men are drifting here from the West Indies is a compliment, to this country, and the educational achievements of Hampton and Tuskegee have afforded some of our best schools for English children materials for improvement along the line of associating the hand and the head in the development of personality. But, of course, the lynchings have been a matter of surprise, especially among follish people, who like to get in their word against the New World. The color line is drawn here more strictly than in England, for this very reason, that with us the colored man is too rare to make much difference. We may be certain that a continuance of lynchings will react upon Africa. The Negroes here will be restless and they will communicate their uniness to men of their race all the world over. If, then the United States can supplement her admirable educational work among the Negroes by conferences, like those which are being arranged by the Episcopal and other churches, with a view to avoiding these outbursts of summary "tissue" she will make of summary the citizenship of the Negro here must be the high water mark—the gold standard—in such matters everywhere. To a detached observer like myself it would seem surely possible to have Negro cases handled by special courts under Federal jurisdiction and trials for certain offenses removed from the areas naturally inflamed by them. The difficulty of travel might surely be mitigated, even if special accommodation of equal luxury to that of the white were provided. Out of Scores of banquets in which I have taken part I think that there were only two in which a colored man was present and none with a colored woman. Despite the law on the subject, it seems as if the colored population is cat off from the intellectual opportunities enjoyed by the rest of us in this brilliant and eager land. My friends tell me that the fault lies largely with the colored people themselves, who are so afraid of "flights" that they will not avail themselves of their admitted social rights. Doubtless there is truth in this. It is certainly remarkable that in Congress there should be no elected person of color. It would seem to be a real loss to statemanship at Washington that in the body which exists so largely for the adjustment of gilevances the Negro does not directly put his own case. A suggestion has been made in England with regard to civil servants that as an alternative to disfranchisement they should be given a certain number of members all to themselves; not enough to influence parties but sufficient to supply the House with information affecting the Civil Service. Every one can understand the reason for disfranchising many Negroes. But it does seem as if the democratic institutions of the United States, on which are so largely modelled the Parliaments of the British dominions, would present a more complete front to the student and the historian if the Captol reserved a few seats in Senate and House for a race which, after the establishment of a "Million Dollar all includes 12,000,000 American citi-zens. Such a concession would react the wide world over and would lift the clarity of the entire Negro race. It would allay much discontent beyond these shores and would be an example to which reasonable Liberal reformers everywhere could point with hope and approval. It is, of course obvious that the gravest situational difficulties would have to be overcome before any such "fancy fran chise" could be established but the suggestion may be worth reviving.

TRAIN CREWS ATTACKED Brotherhood Officials Declare Crest of Strike Has Passed in West. New York, April 12. The strikes of railroad workers here tonight presented the most menacing situation the city has faced since the unauthorized walkout bogan. Freight service on the railroads over which come the bulk of the city's food and fuel virtually was paralyzed and passenger service, already seriously curtailed, was still further crippled. The first act of Federal intervention came today when armed United States troops went into Jersey City to unload stranded mail trains, and department of Justice agents extended their investigations into every corner of the New York district. Appeals by railroads for volunteer workmen and the campaigns of the strikers to recruit their ranks from men still loyal to the roads had he come more insistent, while strikers' representatives urged crews to quit work, railroad officials' "white collar" employees and volunteers were being drilled for strike breakers. SITUATION IN METROPOLIS. The situation tonight was as follows: The only freight shipments received during the day were "war specialists" of solid food trains brought from Chicago by the New York Central, and a few cars which cropt in over the New Haven and the Pennsylvania. Mail train schedules were generally disrupted and motor trucks were pressed into service for postal first aid in all important sections. Hundreds of thousands of commuters living in New Jersey were unable to reach their places of bus rows in New York. Strike sympathizers committed their first act of violence when an iron bar was hurled through the window of a Central Railroad of New Jersey train, injuring a passenger. Train crews of four mail trains of the Erie were attacked at Port Jervis, N. Y., and railroad officials are accused Port Jervis was absolutely controlled by the strikers. JOINT CONFERENCE HELD Union labor's cooperation in an effort to break the unauthorized strike of railroad workers here was pledged tonight by representatives of the four big brotherhoods in conference with the representatives of the Eastern roads. A statement given out after the meeting characterized the strike as "a mob movement" and asserted it was "bound to break." John G. Walber, labor expert and secretary of the bureau of information of Eastern railroads, who made the announcement, said it was the "consensus of opinion of the brotherhood leaders that the strike would burn itself out." He said the conference "received information that the strike was easing up around Chicago, Indianapolis, Columbus and other Western cities, but remained unchanged locally." "The surprising part about the strike is the fact that men who are regarded as conservative have become impregnated with radicalism." Mr. Walber said: "The strike is one fostered purely by radical influence." It was announced the brotherhood leaders had "tried their best" to have the men ignore the radical agitators who invaded New York from New Jersey. Previously the brotherhood leaders had mingled with strikers and loyal union men in New Jersey, urging them to respect their contracts. The conference tonight was the first officially held between labor leaders and railroad representatives. --- Bordentown, N. J. April—Students of Bordentown Colored Industrial School gave two concerts in Montclair, N. J. April, 1 and 2, respectively.

Evacuation of Paul District Hinges on Instructions from Sam Remo. BRITAIN RENEWS DEMAND Lloyd George's Reported Disease is Referred to as "Blind." Paris, April 12.—France will evacuate Frankfurt and the other German towns occupied last week as soon as the supreme council, at its forthcoming session at San Remo, sanctions Germany's military intervention in the Ruhr district for the purpose of reestablishing order. This decision has finally been reached as a result of the Paris London diplomatic exchanges of the last few days. The British ambassador, Lord Derby, handed Premier Millerand a note this afternoon, in which Britain again demands that France withdraw her troops from the newly occupied German territory. It is now evident that Premier Lloyd George's sea voyage, Foreign Minister Lord Curzon's diplomatic illness" and the instructions to the British ambassador not to take part in the connoisers here when they deal with the German question are not ing but part of a shrewd British diplomatic "billed" to allow time to elapse until the San Remo meetings, when the supreme council will officially allow Germany, to maintain a certain number of extra troops in the Rhin region until order is restored without incurring penalties for technically breaking the treaty of Versailles. France, it is understood will sage tion such a decision by the supreme council, which will open a dignified wry for her withdrawal of the troops from Frankfort and the other towns. Premier Millarand and other members of the French cabinet will meet tomorrow, and if they agree to the outlined proposal, which is calculated to save France's dignity, while, at the same time, meeting the British Antarctic and Indian views, the Frankfort incident will probably be considered closed. GERMAN OFFICIALS ARE HOT IN DENOUNCING ENTENTE. Occupation of Frankfurt by French Troops is Scored at Meeting of National Assembly. Borlin, April, 12.—The National Assembly reopened today with Lord Killmarnock, the British charge defrares, and other diplomatic representatives present. The proceedings began with a strong protest from Brideside. Fehrenbach against the allied commission in preventing the upper Silesian Deputies from attending the Assembly. Herr Fehrenbach denounced the ontente for this "crunchment on the rights of the German people's representatives." Premier Mueller spoke strongly against the action of France in the Rhine region, saying: "Senegalese are quartered in Frankfurt and are guarding Goethe's house." Then, reviewing the events in the Ruhr region he said that in the confusion following the Kupp uprising the Ruhr workers were unable to recognize whether they were faced by loyal or diagonal troops. "This atmosphere of distrust," he added, "was exploited by Communist wire pullers, and instead of an imposive workers' movement, there gradually came into existence a "Red" army. "The organized workers," Herr Mueller said, "returned to the mines and factories, but the deluded champlons of Soviet dictatorship remained in arms and were joined by the rabble of the Ruhr area, whose only desire was to exploit laffness. This was the situation when the German government gave permission to the troops to march into the neutral zone, where almost the entire population was crying for relief from terrorism." --- Melton A., Mass., April—The Railroad Yacht International Reservoir and Industrial Association have been invited to the Parlor.

THE SITUATION IN EUROPE. It is no doubt a difficult task for the average person to understand conditions in Europe at the present time or to comprehend just how the present situation of affairs was brought about. The German Empire was as perfect as a military machine could be. Having a start of approximately forty years, every method of warfare had been thoroughly mastered and secret plans had been arranged for just such a condition of affairs that was brought about. The French Republic and its leaders knew this, but they could not be advised to what extent the German war plans had materialized. France then was not caught wholly unprepared. What these progressive people lacked in population at home, they made up by organized forces from abroad. They officers and equipped the black troops in their colonies. Germany had not done this to any appreciable extent as compared with the far-sighted policy of France and England. While the German Empire had black colonial troops, the mastery of the sea by Great Britain and France made this ineffective as the Germans could not transport the troops above water. It is true that Germany, by the use of her wonderful submarines, which had never been equipped before were had never been equitied before or rivalled since controlled the waters under the sea, the Germans were un able to transport troops in these un It was the Allies' plan to starve Germany into submission by cutting off her food supplies. This proved to be the ideal plan. On the other hand, Germany undertook the task of destroying the vessels of the Allies on top of the water and thus make it impossible for Great Britain to secure food supplies for her population in the British Isles. Without the aid of the United States, Germany no doubt would have succeeded. But there were other forces at work. The German Legions were practically invincible, but the Allies played for a long war and took punishment, assured of the fact that the resources of their inveterate enemy could not last much longer. Germany was endevoking to foment a rebellion within the domain of Great Britain, both in Egypt, India, Ireland and South Africa. This forced from Great Britain concessions to these dependencies, which savored closely of absolute independence, the allegiance to the British crown, being more in name than in actual fact. These self-governing dominions, then took heart and renewed their efforts to save the British Empire. The scheming plans of the German leaders had failed, but they still retained that powerful grip upon the army and navy. In the meantime, the codon of war vessels had belted the watera surrounding partially the German Empire and food supplies were running low. A hungry population becomes naturally revolutionists and the promises of peace, falling to materialize, the threatened blow from behind was about to be struck. Kaiser Wilhelm had truly declared that the German nation had never been whipped when it stood united. But now there were signs of dissolution. The Socialists with their fantastic schemes were in touch with the socialistic elements of other nations and the Allies then put out the mts leading statement that they had no war with the German people, but with the military, cabal that controlled the German Government. In the meantime, President Wilson sent out his famous "Fourteen Points Letter," emphasizing this view of the situation and declaring that there would be no indemnities demanded by the Allies. This letter was approved by the other nations and the German people believed that the statements contained in this celebrated document would be observed. Vain hope! It was a case of "Will you walk into my parlor?" said the spider to the fly. President Wilson evidently believed all that he wrote in this remarkable epistle and he trusted his associates and allies. He seemed to think that all deception and double dealing rested with the Teutonic Allies and not with the Entente Allies. No sooner had the German revolution begun, than the troops in the field, being robbed of support at home found it necessary to retire behind the Rhine and to submit to humiliating with drawings, while the victorious Allies smiled. The German people had been deceived into believing that every single provision in that Wilson letter would be observed. The Allies did not consider that they were giving Germany and her Allies any more than they deserved. They claimed that the Teutonic Allies had deceived them and they got even by deceiving the Teutonic Allies. In keeping with the agreement, Kaiser Wilhelm and his supporters became oxiles in Holland and then the Versailles Conference took place. The new German Government, represented by ordinary citizens, who had never had any diplomatic experience was in a quandary. His representatives were destined to meet the most skilful diplomats in the world and the only statesmen qualified to meet them were associated with the exiled Kaiser or if remaining in Berlin were secretly favorable to his cause. When the revolutionists turned to this type of men for advice, it was given in a way, and finally the armistice terms were closely scanned and these able diplomats deliberately declared that the terms as submitted were not only inacceptable to them, but would never be accepted by the German people. The Ebert Government found them that the German diplomats qualified to handle the situation had resigned. This left a status of affairs that was deplorable and distressing. No reputable diplomat could be found to sign the peace terms. They declared that they were impossible of fulfillment. Then began the work of finding irresponsible men to perform the task. It was openly declared that Germany would not live up to the agreement, but the language used was that she could not live up to the stipulations. The action was justified upon the ground that the Empire was under duress. They were in the same attitude of a man forced to do a given thing with a revolver pointed at his head by a man who would not hesitate to pull the THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA trigger, should the occasion require it. The Allies remembering Germany's action in disregarding the treaty with Belgium took the occasion to do the same thing to Germany and made this plea in justification. In the meantime, the military party now in discard had its representatives among the German people, telling them, "I told you so." The revolutionists had secured the support from the masses upon the theory that the harsh stipulations that would have been visited upon the Kaiser and his Government had they been forced to make terms would be modified, if the dealing came directly from the direct representatives of the German people. They found to their sorrow that they had walked into the trap skillfully set by the Allies and that they would not be permitted to get out until they had paid "the uttermost farthing." Then came the grasp for land, commercial benefits and the exploitation of German's colonies. President Woodrow Wilson found himself in Paris in the midst of a contending group and so radical and uncompromising were they that only threats to "take his hat and coat" and come home brought about a partial amelioration of conditions. The make shift German Government was in the throes of another revolution. Only fear of the Allies and the long way that the people had to go coupled with compromises by the Government saved the day for the time being. The Kapp revolution lists secured concessions and then the revolution in the Ruhr Valley, a zone marked off for the safety of France and in which zone no regular German troops were to be stationed. This was regarded as providing safety for France against a future German invasion. Now this section was under the rule of the German Government, but the German Government, without troops could not enforce its decrees. It was necessary to dispatch troops there to restore the prestige of the German Government and President Ebert enlisted the assent and support of the Allies for this purpose. France objected, although it is alleged that the United States, Great Britain, Italy, and even Belgium gave their consent. Germany agreed to withdraw these troops as soon as order was restorce and about three weeks was the time specified as being necessary to establish this result. The German Government sent its troops into the valley and disregarding the attitude of her Allies, France sent troops over the German border and occupied several German cities. What made the matter worse In the United States and Great Britain, France sent her famous black troops to police German cities. These black men had won renown in the world war and the French General De Coutte was in charge of these remarkable colonial troops that had been the wonder of the world in the field of army warfare. Belgium sent troops to aid France in policing the territory. A clash with German citizens resulted and finally the Allies met and notified France that the troops must be withdrawn from German Territory. This is a brief statement of affairs up to date. In the meantime, the Wilson League of Nations with President Wilson out of the League is functioning. It is badly injured and the prospect of its approval by the United States Senate is even more remote. It is being demonstrated that this diplomatic, organic clixir, this patented device to end wars in the future is proving ineffective even in the beginning of its operation. France has shown its lack of confidence in this League of Nations. Certain it is that only Allied troops, acting in concert could have lawfully entered the Ruhr Valley of Germany. The action of France and Belgium was an act of war. If Kaiser Wilhelm Field Marshal Von Hindenburg and others of this group had been in the saddle in Germany, war would now be raging between the two countries with the protesting nations of the world, viewing with alarm the situation. The world is war weary and the demand now is for peace. This cannot be secured in Washington with out the co-operation of the Executive Department of the Government with out a ratification as it stands of that remarkable plan for a League of Nations. It will be of interest to watch the result of conditions on the other side. It begins to look as though the Father of this Country, President George Washington was right when he warned this nation to avoid entangling European alliances. THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND THE NEGRO. The peculiar conditions now existing in this country have a tendency to upset the theories and to wreck parties. This is a day of "little men" and little ideas and "big men" with fundamental principles as the basis for their ideas are no longer popular and they have gone in hiding. It is a familiar saying: "Let them fry in their own grease." This is about what leaders in all walks of life are doing in the face of the demagogues, who have secured possession and are 'profanning the temple.' "Chickens will come home to roost," is a familiar adage and "Water will seek its level" is a fundamental axiom, just as true as it is that fundamental principles will ultimately be paramount. All kinds of expedients are now being resorted to and put into operation, both in the governmental experiments and in party platforms. The latest plan of some of these "live for today only" party managers is to change the fundamental principles of the party and to discard the platform principles of more than half a century in order to get newcomers to join in and help to win success at the polls. They do not know that this same element will bring untold trouble to the party after they get in which will be much greater and more embarrassing than it would be if they had remained on the outside. The plan now is to drive colored members of the party out in order that Negro-lating democrats may come in. This short-sighted policy may give victory in one congressional district in the South-land and defeat in several States in the North-land. Colored people, as usual are protesting, but this protesting does not take a permanent form or result in an organization to protect not only our political rights, but our civil and industrial rights as well. Slavery left us with many handicaps and embarrassing waits, but no one of them has proven so disastrous to our people's interest as much as this insane feeling of jealousy among our leaders and the inability to practice team work for the benefit of the body politic and our people as a whole. Colored folks are practicing the doctrine of "Every man for himself and God for us all." It may be that the nucleus of a political organization upon a sound financial basis may bring about tangible resule about fifty years after all of this generation are dead. Still, we should make the effort. This "lily-white movement" is an outrage, a disgrace to our Christian civilization. White folks, who can stand colored folks around their firesides and in their places of business should be able to stand them around the camp-fires of a political Republican meeting. We would like mighty well for many of the Democratic white folks to come into our Republican can meetings, but we see no reason why we should give up our seats to them and go on the outside, when two-thirds of the seating space in the Republican organization is vacant and they have plenty of room, we up front in the meeting place. Past experience has been that white Democrats, who will not stand colored people in the same party with them, will not stand the white Republicans, who have been in the party during all of these years. Let us put aside race and color and espouse fundamental principles, principles that have made the Republican party the champion of human rights and universal liberty in this great land of ours. THE LABOR SITUATION Industrial interests are paralyzed. We are in the throes of one of the greatest strikes in the history of this country and yet we are gravely assured by the labor leaders that there is no strike at all. The men walked out without orders. President Wilson has held "seances" with the labor leaders, while Attorney General A₃ Mitchell Palmer has threatened dire punishment upon the coal miners' leader, who issued strike orders. Now, the labor elements have scheduled a leaderless strike. It is claimed that it is not the result of concerted action on the part of any particular indivial or group. What will the Government do about it? You cannot force a man to work unless you place him in the penitentiary. These men are wanted for work out side of the penitentiary. This is the logical result of interfering with the laws of supply and demand. If men strike, the employees and the employers should settle the matter. Too much law is just as bad if not much worse than too little law. Passenger traffic is halted, business injured, the public inconvenienced, while the light goes on. Our distinguished President is interested in the affairs of Europe. He will be more interested in affairs on this side of the battle. 1. COLORED LEADERS HERE Mr. A. Chandler Owen and Mr. A. Phillip Roadolph of New York held the centre of the stage last Wednesday. day night at the St. Luko Hall in the opening series of lectures given to unlighten the colored people upon subjects now vitally affecting their industrial, economic and political welfare. It was evident that they would be protected from all harm and danger if one was to judge from the number of police officers who praced the meeting. Even Editor William Monroe Trotter might have envied the particular attention paid to them. The meeting passed off without incident. It is evident that colored people are the objects of particular care and observation on the part of the officers of the law, both city and national. It is the opinion that the turbulent spirit so prevalent among white folks will appear in a similar way among the colored folks. When the white folks are raising h—— the colored folks have no need to be agitating and can afford to keep quiet. With colored folks undisturbed the breach between the white folks and the Government will become wider and at the proper time, the colored folks will be called in by one or the other wings of the white folks to help gettie the trouble. Until that time, we can afford "to saw wood and say rotting." VIRGINIA—In the Clerk's Office of the Circuit Court of Chesterfield County, March 25th, 1920. JOHN L.

The baseball team of Virginia Union University continues its family past time of piling up victories as the season rolls on. The hardest game that it has played was against A. and T. College from Greensboro, N. C. The Tar Heel team was in tip-to form when it appeared on the Va., Union diamond March 31st, but a home run by Hulcs in the eighth saved the day for Union. The score was 8-7. Thompson pitched for Union. VA. UNION SHUTS OUT HAMPTON Perhaps the largest crowd of the season was out Easter Monday to see two great association teams bat tie for the holiday honors. Blackhoop, Hampton's Indian twirler, suffered severely from Union's heavy batters. While on the other hand "Kid McCuskell, proved to be too much for the visitors from Tide water and the game ended 6-0 in Union's favor Saturday the 10th, Va. Union added another star to its victorious crown by defeating Va., Normal and industrial Institute, Petersburg, Va. by a score of 9-2. The visitors were the first to score but when the Red and Steel did be gain, it was a hit and run game when ever Union was at bat. Johnson, the new right fielder, set some batting pace for the older Union ites. While no ball has been able to even approach the limits of the center field without finding a resting place in Jackson's mits. The next hardest games will be next Friday and Saturday, 16 and 17 when Va. Union will play Howard at Washington on Friday and Biddle, the Champions of N. C., at Richmond on Saturday. But with the pace that the Red and Steel machine has set the outcome can only mean victory for them. --- ATHLETICS WIN FIRST GAME OF THE SEASON. The Athletics of South Richmond and the Violets of Church Hill played an interesting game Easter Monday, in the Athletic Park of South Richmond. The game resulted in a score of 9 to 6 in favor of the Athletics. Athletics—S. Patterson, R. F.; J. Dauion, C.; K. Cogbill, S. S.; S. Paterson, C. F.; J. Morton, L. F.; W. Lasley, 2nd B.; C. Taylor, 3rd B.; E. Flemming, 1st R., A. Owens, P., and A. D. Walton, C. F. Violets—Clarke, C.; Strong, 1st B. Bridley, S. S.; Clarke, R. F.; Brown, L. F.; Price, C. F.; Jones, 3rd B.; Hines, 2nd B.; Roy, P. Athletics will play the Boosters, Saturday, April 17th. In the game between the Athletics and Boosters, Morton and Cogbill "whipped the pill over the fence." When Morris, of A., connected with one of ally's fact 'in's' with the bases loaded, the bill was last seen bouncing from the left field fence. Tupponce also duplicated the order a little later. HAMPTON DEFEATS LINCOLN 8-7 (By Charles H. Williams.) Hampton, Va., April. The Hampton baseball team turned a seeming deat into victory in an eighth-inning rally, by scoring four runs and do feating the Lincoln team 8 to 7 in a game played here on Saturday April 19. The visitors returning from their Southern trip where they had won nine games out of eleven played, expected a victory. Both made several errors, which aided in the scoring of their opponents. The pitching of Johnson for Lincoln and Scott for Hampton were the features of the game. The line-up was as follows. HAMPTON—S— LINCOLN—7. Freeman L. F. Wilson Mann C. F. Kinnough Owl R. F. Chapelle Ginn (C.) C. Hubbard Verigon L. B. Hattaway Jackson 2nd B. Boyd (C.) Long S. S. Joiner Wright 3rd B. Boozer Scott P. Johnson Umpire A. Jackson of Newport News. A. S. C. WINS FIRST GAME. The A. S. C. Base Ball team won their first game from the Revelie Giants of South Richmond, last Saturday by a score of 11to 8. On account of the weather the game was played as well as could be expected. The players looking out for their arms were not allowed to show much form. The Adelphia's have a fast young team, which is rounding into shape daily, and when the weather breaks much success is looked for from the promising youngsters. The sensational fielding of P. Davis, in left garden brought repeated cheers from both sides. Tupponce, running catch back of second base in the closing frame of the same with two men of the paths brought defeat to the Giants in their desperate efforts to overtake the lead of the slugging A's. The line up follows: ADELPHIA: Tupponce, S. S. R. Davis, 3rd B. B; W. Morris, 2nd B. L. Jackson, 1st B. F. Davis, L. F. Brackett, R. F. Kenney, C.; Carrington, C. F. Bragg, P.; Coleman, Green Robinson and Royal, substitutes. GIANTS: G. White, C.; L. Sally, P. H. White, S. S.; D. Brooks, 1st B. L. Eaton, 2nd B. H. Brooks, 3rd B. D. Taylor, C. F. K. Jones, R. F. J. Easley, L. F.; W. Kelly, P.; F. Eaton, 1st B.; Randolph, R. F. Attendance: Good. Umpire: Will Taylor. The Adelphia's seemed to have a good eye on the old pill this season, prohibition might be the cause of it. --- The Brooklyn Slides opened the season in Newport News, with a fast and interesting game. The score of the first game was Brooklyn Slides 2; Y, M, C, A. 3, first game. The second game resulted a defeat for the Y, M, C, A. Brooklyn Slides 9; Y, M, C, A. 5. --- THE "NO NAME" CLUB BAITED The Boosters' Home at 908 N. 29th Street was the scene Tuesday night, the sixth inst. of a host of guest coming from the other hill and many cars were arraigned before its doors. The occasion was a championship game between the Billikins and the No Name Whist Club of Oregon Hill. At 1:15 P.M. M, the boys lined up in battle array and we must say it was some battle for it was hard fought from start to finish, with the exception of the last set who seceded as if they would never finish their fifty points. The first crow was heard from the Billikins with fifty-two points being won by Collins and Mayo It was something strange when we did not hear from C. P. Hayes, whose vocal chords are always on the go, but we could not hear a word from the poor fellow, but soon and very soon we heard to his detriment the crow from Harris and Corbett, which meant that the Bilkins had won the fifty points over him. He really took his defeat hard and we did not hear from him again until he was called on by the master of ceremonies and even then he could hardly articulate Dr. Mundin must be given the credit of being a far-scoring man, for if the others had seen as far as he, they would not have been over to Church Hill. But we can hear him now saying, if he had been over the result would have been different. Shaekelford, of the Bilkins, who has many times won the booby, came forth conquering and crowing, letting us know that even the dead had come to life. I believe Okfir_c-ahMshriupywfmlw Stewart talked more than anybody in the Bilikins, I believe, and played less, for it was long after everybody had finished and was tired waiting that we heard his score, but even at that he did quite well. Mundin, the tailor, died hard, for he really thought he had some show, but circ circumstance altered his case and was down and out before he knew what hit him. At about 12:15 A.M. we journeyed from the Boosters' Home singing, "The Downward Road is Crowded," across the street to Morris' Cafeteria where Mr. Samuel White had prepared quite a sumptuous reap that has never been equiluted in the days of either club. Our guest showed that they really were hungry, for the way they went after the siribin and porterhouse steak, etc. were interesting. We are satisfied that they could not have eaten much or anything at home before they left from the way they ate, waiting to marinate of the Bilkin's delicious dishes which they always furnish at the expense of the other fellow. After supper speeches were made by several of the members of the No Name Club, but being full and defecated they could not say very much, even President Sampson could hardly talk above a whisper, but Shackelford, Stewart, Thompson. --- THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND. VIRGINIA Harris and Corbett could be heard from every corner. Speeches being over the No Name Club members left with Undertaker Hayes for Woodland Cemetery, there to deposit their last remains. The score stood Bilikins, 281; No Name Club, 260. FARMVILLE LETTER On Easter Sunday the St. Luke's head their annual sermon at the A.M. E. Church. It was well to say that they have the largest number of membership in our town. Being two orders of St. Luke and the Juvenile department, Everyone left feeling that they were glad they came out to see and listen to such a good sermon on St. Luke. The collections were good and turned over to the speaker, Rev. J. R. Augustus. The First Baptist Church had its rally on Easter amounting to $500, Mrs. Jordan's club had the highest amount, $113.75.
