It is this 16th day of July, 1919, adjusted, ordered, and decreed that the said decree of the first day on June, 1917, be, and the same hereby is, set aside, vacated and for nothing held, and that in lieu thereof it is adjudged, ordered and decreed as follo- ws: 1. That the defendants, the Supreme Lodge of the Knights of Pythias of North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia and the individual defendants, officers of the said Supreme Lodge, in the bill of complaint mentioned and described, be, and the same here are restrained and permanently enjoined from attempting to enforce the decree or enactment of the said Supreme Lodge adopted at its biennial session, held at Baltimore City, Maryland, in the year 1913 purporting to revoke the charter of the plain tiff and to dissolve the said plaintiff, Grand Lodge of the jurisdiction of Virginia, and from doing any other act or thing on the assumption that the said plaintiff, Grand Lodge, has been dissolved, or that its traternal charter has been revoked. 2.

Attorney Henry E. Davis, who re represented the Supreme Lodge admits the Supreme Lodge has failed and threatens another attempt to get the Grand Lodge of Virginia out of the Order: Mr. S. W. Green. Dear Sir, You will be pleased to learn that the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia has finally decided the controversy between the Grand Lodge of Virginia and the Order of the Knights of Estates by striking from the device from which we had unruled the third paragraph there of relating to the question of taxes, and pronouncing in clear and unmistakable form that in making its former decision it was its purpose to close the litigation. The effect of this last decision is that the order of suspension of Virginia remains in full force and effect and the door is closed to Virginia to make any other or further application to the Court in respect of the controversy set out of which the Btig gilton cree. It is enabling for the Order to expel Virginia if it see fit to do so or for Virginia to come t because of it desired to retain within the Order. Continuing what was written you on the subject by Mr. Cobb, who is present as I all take this, and who belongs here, we have no charge regarding the Order on account of Sir Vance on this last appeal, which leaves the state of account between the Order and us at the balance of $10000 with the ledger memorandum and attached. --- Miss Pickford points out in this story that even when things are bad they might be worse. This thought, planted in the minds of people who are dissatisfied with wage conditions, or who think they are not getting a fair price for their goods, will tend to stimulate a line of mental activity which will result in stabilizing conditions. The most progressive of the picture stars believe in choosing plays wherever possible, which will act as a propaganda of good. It is their ambition to have each screen medium serve a definite purpose, and with this in mind Mary Pickford decided to picture Eleanor H. Porter's famous book. So "Pollyanna" is a picture with a mission. Every pupil of any colored school Richmond will be admitted to see this picture, day or night, for 11 cents while adults will be charged only 25 cents, this being the first time a feature production of this character has ever been offered for the exclusive entertainment of colored people anywhere at prices to be charged at the Strand. --- COLORED FOLKS AT THE STRAND THE VIEW.

The meeting was presided over very gracefully by Miss Emma Ellis who so dignified the occasion, till she became the centre of attraction.

Dr. Reed's endeavors have attracted a larger audience than the evidently visiting Richmond and his popularity here is due to his manner in presenting Gospel thought. But, the team work of Dr. King and Dr. Reed is par excellent. A prominent letter carrier, whose son a daughter accepted Christ during the meetings remarked that any sister who came in contact with Dr. Reed and King (twice and failed to bow) was a hard sinner indeed. The singing of the Gospel Chorus under the magnetic Prof. Joseph Skatows was superb. Nothing like it has been heard in Richmond.

Supreme Chancellor, K. of P., Pythian Temple, New Orleans, La. April 10, 1920. Dear Sir—You will be pleased to learn that the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia has finally decided the controversy between the Grand Lodge of Virginia and the Order of the Knights of Pythias by striking from the decree from which we last appealed the third paragraph thereof relating to the question of taxes, and pronouncing in clear and unmistakable terms that in making its former decision it was its purpose to close the litigation. The effect of this last decision is that the order of suspension of Virginia remains in full force and effect and the door is closed to Virginia to make any other or further application to the Court in respect of the controversy out of which the Lift gation grew. It remains only for the Order to expel Virginia if it sees fit so to do or for Virginia to come t being if it desires to remain within the Order. Confirming what was written you on the subject by Mr. Cobb, who is present as I dictate this, and who conceals herein, we have no charge against the Order on account of Service on this last appeal, which leaves the state of account between the Order and us at the balance of $1,000 in accordance with the bill hereofore tendered and adjusted. Yours truly, (Signed) HENRY E. DAVIS. POLINANNA FOR THE COLORED PEOPLE AT STRAND TO-DAY. Critics everywhere assert that "Pollyanna" is one of the greatest dramatic plays ever trimmed. The reason for this is that the philosophy upon which the story is based constitutes a theme which at the present time has an unusually wide appeal. This production will be the feature at the Strand theater, Saturday, April 24, from 11 A.M. to 11 P.M. for colored people especially the school children. Undoubtedly Mary Pickford, with characteristic tarsigliness, had this in mind when she chose this celebrated work as her first vehicle for the United Artists' Corporation. There is a great craving at the present time on the part of the public, according to best informed showmen, for something more than mere entertainment. Of course, diversion is always the paramount thing whenusement is considered, but at the same time people want something big and compelling—something that will drive home a few truths without preaching a sermon or spoiling the flavor of a show meant to entertain. Such a story is "pollyanna" with its cheerful philosophy of gladness. It is believed that this production, coming at a time when the country is upset by a period of readjustment, will have an unprecedented reception from the picture patrons. Miss Pickford points out in this story that even when things are bad they might be worse. This thought, planted in the minds of people who are dissatisfied with wage conditions, or who think they are not getting a fair price for their goods, will tend to stimulate a line of mental activity which will result in stabilizing conditions. The most progressive of the picture stars believe in choosing plays wherever possible, which will act as a propaganda of good. It is their ambition to have each screen medium serve a definite purpose and with this in mind Mary Pickford decided to picture Eleanor H. Porter's famous book. So "Pollyanna" is a picture with a mission. Every pupil of any colored school in Richmond will be admitted to see this picture, day or night, for 11 cents while adults will be charged only 25 cents , this being the first time a feature production of this character has ever been offered for the exclusive entertainment of colored people anywhere at prices to be charged at the Strand. COLORED FOLKS AT THE STRAND THEATRE. Doors Swing Wide Today For the first time since that fine structure has been erected, colored children will be admitted to all parts of the Strand Theatre, Broad Street between Adams and Jefferson. This has been brought about by the action of Mr. Jake Wells in deciding to give the exhibition of the famous Polyanna movie picture.

FIFTH STREET BAPTIST CHURCH CONDUCTED THREE WEEKS OF REVIVAL EFFORT. Rev. Reed Preaches to Trendoused Crowds—Dr. Eldridge's Great Assistance—Pastor King is Jubilant. The past three weeks have marked a great spiritual feast at the Fifth Street Baptist Church. The soaring capacity has been taxed to its utmost and then hundreds were turned away because of the inability to seat the people. As many as 15,000 people have turned out in one night and it was estimated that the total attendance last Sunday was about 5,600, including the Sunday School and B. V. P. U. services. Pastor T. J. King conducted the services the first week, preaching five powerful sermons and securing many accessions to the Church. The second and third weeks' preaching was done by the Rev. W. B. Reed, D. D., of Hartford, Conn., who delivered thirteen sermons of great power. Dr. Reed is not normally an evangelist, being pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church of Hartford, Conn., but his evangelistic work has captivated Richmond. Dr. Reed's endowers have attracted a larger following here than any evangelist visiting Richmond and his popularity here is due to his manner in presenting Gospel thought. In fact, the team work of Dr. King and Dr. Reed is par-excellent. A prominent letter carrier, whose son and daughter accepted Christ during the meetings remarked that any sinner who came in contact with Dr. Reed and King twice and failed to how, was a hard sinner indeed. The singing of the Gospel Chorus under the magnetic Prof. Joseph Matthws was superb. Nothing like it has been heard in Richmond. There were one hundred voices in the chorus and they made the welkring. Sunday afternoon the Triangle Men's Meeting took place, with Dr. Reed in the main auditorium and Dr. S. T. Bldridge, of Petersburg, in the lecture room. Dr. Eldridge is another Bounors and over 1700 men were electrified by the Divine messages from these mon of God. The meetings have netted the Church over 200 accessions, and increased the spiritual temperature to a degree where great things will be heard from old Fifth Street soon. Dr. McDuffe's Activity The revival services at the Third Street A. M. E. church, Rev. Dr. M. E. Davis, pastor have been very successful. Rev. Dr. S. Douglass McBuffet, the noted evangelist has drawn crowds that have overtaxed the seating capacity of the church. The congregation is onthused with the work. COLORED SOLDIERS ATTENTION The Virginia War History Commission has decided to place record of the achievements of the colored soldiers from Virginia in the World War in the volumes with the record of the white soldiers, for this purpose at Board of Negro Collaborators has been appointed to collect this data.

Talbert of Buffalo, N. Y., President of the National Federation of Color ed Women and graduate of Oberlin college, addressed an audience that filled the assembly room of the chamber of commerce. Mrs. Talbert is speaking throughout the nation on questions concerning the race. "The allies cannot forget the Negroes who fought with them," she said, "If the Negroes are good enough to die for democracy, they are good enough to live in democracy. We are sick of fighting to make the world safe for democracy and now want to make the world a place to live in. "Four hundred and fifty thousand Negroes were sent to France and they were the most loyal of soldiers because they fought for a democracy that they did not possess. "The Negroes subscribed to $225, 620,000 worth of Liberty bonds. The government told them unless they put something into the war, they should receive nothing and we began to hope that peace would include the Negro. I traveled thru the south speaking in behalf of the fourth Liberty bond campaign. I had to go in a "Jim Crow" car, an ordinary freight car. I traveled 30 hours at a stretch with no sleep er, no diner, because no Negro is allowed on any other kind of a train in the south. Yet I was selling Liberty bonds for my government and the government operated the trains. I wasn't permitted to buy a cup of coffee at the stations because my lips would touch the cup and transgress social equality. "The Negroes are not begging for social equality, but political and civil rights and a chance for better living conditions. Mrs. Talbert told of the deplorable penal conditions in the south where there are no reform atories for children. $150.00 ENDOWMENT PAID. Richmond, Va., April 16, 1920.

The dead are. Miss Adalade Brendus, aged 14 Glen Allen. Miss Marguerite Dunnavant, aged 23, Richmond. Miss Elizabeth Scott, 25, Tappahan neck, Essex County. The injured are: Miss Evelyn Jones, aged 25, Baltt more. Alfred Broddus, aged 17, brother of Miss Broddus, Glen Allen. The party was returning to their homes after attending a meeting of the Baptist Young People's Union at the Glen Allen Baptist Church. They were riding in a Ford Jimousine along Mountain Road, which skirts Glen Allen. As they neared the Richmond Fredericksburg and Potomac railroad station, train No. 68 which left Richmond at 8:15 have into sight. One account that reached Richmond last night said that another automobile had stopped to await passing of the train which is said to have been going at a moderate rate of speed. Young Broadius according to report, attempted to cross the track ahead of the ornithodion locomotive. FIND BODIES ON PILOT. As the automobile bearing its precious load of human freight got attendant the rails it was struck by the locomotive. It was smashed into kindling wood and twisted steel and iron. The cow-catcher of the engine picted up its human freight, two of the occupants of the automobile, being already dead it is believed and carried them a distance of 100 yards or more. Townspeople, attracted to the scene, rescued the living from among the dead. Miss Jones, conscious and hysterical was borne from the engine's pilot. On either side of her was the body of a dead companion. They were Miss Scott and Miss Broadus. Miss Dunnavant, fatally injured was found alongside the track unconscious. She was taken into the home of W. Conway Saunders, secretary of the Virginia State Fair Association, by A. G. Nicholson, manager of the Gibson Motor Company, a Richmond concern who was spending the week-end with Mr. Saunders and others, where she expired in fifteen minutes. Miss Jones with a compound fracture of her right leg and suffering from excessive shock and young Broadus were picked up from where they lay near Miss Dunnavant. Broadus was taken to the home of his father, Dr. W. E. Broaddug of Glen Allen and Richmond and Miss Jones was brought to Richmond and taken to the Retreat for the Sick where Dr. J. St. Julian Oppenhimer last night stated that she was suffragely from shock and the ag gravated hurt to her right leg. Her condition was pronounced as serious. THREE TAUGHT SCHOOL. Miss Dunnavant, Miss Scott, and Miss Jones were teachers in Glen Allen public School. Dr. Broadus father of two of last right's victims is a well-known Richmond dentist, with offices at 302 East Grace Street. Miss Jones boarded with a Mrs. Sheppard at Glen Allen. Officials of the train following the accident or ordered a berth to be made up for her aboard the train and in this she was placed and the train backed to Richmond. The triple fatalities stunned the little town of Glen Allen as it has not been shocked in years. The victims were 'universally popular and had a wide circle of friends. Arrangements for the funerals could not be made until relatives were not fied. WILL CONDUCT INQUEST Dr. J. Fulmer Bright coroner for Benrico County, stated last night that he would hold an inquest today at 12:30 o'clock at Bennett's undertaking establishment. Undertaker Bennett will prepare the body of Miss Dunnant for burial, and the remains of Miss Broadus and Miss Scott were turned over to Undertaker L. T. Christian. They expected to be removed to the respective establishments during the night. Peer J. E. Adams, Conductor C. R. Waller and Fireman Mallory all of Richmond were in charge of the illated train. They as were others were summoned to the inquest today as witnesses' RENTS ARE DUE FOR ADVANCE; REALTY AGENTS PREDICT. Real Estate owners here must have at increases of between 10 and 25 per cent this spring or less money on their investments, according to statements made yesterday by prominent Richmond real estate agents. Already many property owners have ordered agents to increase rents on property owned by them. Increased taxes on property higher prices for fuel, added cost of repairs and the high price of labor were some of the reasons for the increase enumerated yesterday by Bruce Bowe of N. W. Bowe and Son. Mr. Bowe declared that the public is unable to understand the situation. He said that the firm of which he is president is the owner of two large properties which will be offered for sale at once because the present rent on them netted the company less than the money would bring lying idle in the bank. "If we increase the rents on these properties now we will raise a storm of criticism," Mr. Powe declared in the reason why the firm means to sell its realty holdings. "We were compelled to raise the rent on each property $7 a month last year. Now we can no longer rent them profitably at that figure," he said. "For this reason, we will dispose of them, as many realty owners are disposing of property." EVERYTHING COSTS MORE Because of the greatly increased cost of everything pertaining to the home, Mr. Bowe predicted that it will be necessary for apartment house owners to increase their rents at least 25 per cent. "Even at this figure," he said, "in the rent contracts which we will make this year we mean to insert a clause relieving us of all damages in case we are unable to get coal at a reasonable price or at all. At the present time the price of coal has a tendency to go higher. We don't know what we will have to pay for it next winter. We can't get it now. So we will be forced to protect ourselves." Wages of janitors have advanced from $10 to $18 and $20 a week with in the past two or three weeks, it is pointed out by local real estate men. Another added reason for the high rents which are predicted is the enormous cost of making repairs. One agent pointing out an instance yester day said that a family which paid $550 rent for an apartment in six months left the place in such a condition that it cost $90 to have the home repapered and placed in condition to be rented again. Hundreds of country people are seeking the city daily, agents declare and the populations of the cities are growing steadily at the expense of the surrounding territory making sharp completion for the available houses and apartments. ARE BUILT TO SELL. High building costs were also given by an agent, as a reason for high rents. He stated that at the present time many are being erected that in a few years will be worthless. He said that some of them are put up "just to sell." They look nice, he stated, but are not built. Like the houses of a few years ago. Building materials have increased to such an extent that it costs no small sum to erect a substantial home, the head of the reality department of a large concern stated. Because of this, it costs a tidy sum in interest to the purchaser on the installment plan to buy a home which could have been purchased for half the price some years ago. Speaking of the outlook for the future, Mr. Bowe said that it was not bright. He declared it as his opinion that the increase of rents this spring will not only be general, but will be followed by another increase next fall. Although apartment houses will be hit hardest by the predicted increase, it also will be felt by citizens renting houses. An increase of 10 per cent will scarcely meet the added expenses house owners will be put to by the rapid increase in prices of all commodities, it is said. With increased taxes, and an increased assessment on their property in most instances, to meet the landlord, can scarcely do aught else than pass the buck on his tenant, it is declared.

Washington, April 16.—The fighting between the progressive element in the Republican party and the "old guard" for control of the Chicago Convention is on. It was started with the announcement here today by progressive leaders in Congress, that they will propose Senator Borah for the temporary or permanent chairman of the convention. The decision to get behind Senator Borah was reached after it had been semi-officially announced that the committee on arrangements of the Republican National Committee would select Senator Henry Cabot Lodge for the temporary chairmanship at the meeting which is to be held in Chicago on May 10. The progressives immediately reached the decision that they ought to have something to say about who was going to preside over the convention and they urged Senator Borah to permit his name to be used. Senator Borah is understood to have given approval to the plan and arrangements for the fight to be made by the progressives were gotten under way with the announcement that his name will be presented to the committee on arrangements for the temporary chairmanship. If defeated in the committee, the pro progressives will carry the fight to the convention itself on the theory that the convention rather than a committee of the national committee should have the privilege oof selecting its own officers. $150.00 ENDOWMENT PAID.

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA "LYNCH LAW IN LAURENS CONDEMNED." Friends of Rev. Samuel H. Templeman, formerly pastor of the Highland Park Baptist Church, which charge he relinquished three years ago to accept a call to the First Baptist Church of Laurens, South Carolina, will be deeply interested in the attitude the one-time member of the Richmond College faculty has taken in respect for lynching. Recently, a Negro named Joe Stewart was lynched in Laurens, and in a soothing arrangement of the incident Rev. Templeman, from his pulpit the following Sunday, called on all God fearing and law abiding citizens to aid the peace officers in their task of uncovering the guilty participants and bringing them to justice. He characterized the occurrence as a "midnight assassination" and the responsible parties as murderers, adding: "If such lawless men go unwiped of the law, both of God and man who knows the color of the skin of the next victim?" It seems that with the local pastor met in protest over the deed, but had decided to give the layman an opportunity to make a public disclaimer before taking any action. Seeing that the latter gave no sign of entering a protest, Rev. Mr. Templeman concluded to take the initiative. Before launching his hold the pastor invited any "pussyfooters and concealers of crime." If such were present, to leave the church if they did not want to be rendered uncomfortable by his remarks. Whether or of his congregation took the hint is not disclosed but his powerful denunciation has had the effect of unifying a strong element of the community favoring law and order, and a mass meeting of the city and county has been called to pass resolutions demanding that the authorities enforce the law. Rev. Mr. Templeman seems to have the courage of his convictions. The Ministerial Union is sponsoring the meeting. It is a healthy sign of a change in public opinion in the Palmetto State in regard to lynching. Lehman, Va., Evening Journal April 17, 1926.) ACCUSED MAN SPIRITED AWAY FROM ENRAGED MOR. Lights of Lexington, Ky, Jail Are Suddenly Turned Off and Offleers Escaped With Man. Lexington, Ky., April 18. - Lacey Jenkins, aged 27, Negro charged with attacking 6 year old Willie Trimble at Danville, Ky., was rushed to the Lexington jail from Danville early to day to thwart a possible lynching at the hands of a mob in Danville. Jenkins, who with Keith Phillips, 15 year old white boy is charged with kidnapping the Trimble child Friday night taking him into a cornfield and striking him on the head with a hammer, denies knowledge of the crime. Jenkins was spirited out of the Danville jail last night by officers while a mob was outside demanding entrance. The lights in the jail sud denly were turned out and while the place was in darkness Jenkins and the officers escaped. Later members of the mob were admitted to the jail and made a search.

(American Negro Press.) Chicago, Ill., April.—"Negroes are migrating to the North fast and leaving the south short of labor," T. Arnold Hill, executive secretary of the league said, recently. "They are leaving the south in large numbers because they think the north offers them a better opportunity, more money and better working conditions. As soon as the weather becomes milder or the influx will greatly increase. Many Negroes who went south for the winter because of the severe climate will be coming back. "We have jobs for all that come. Many foreign laborers are leaving this country for their own countries, since the close of the great war. This leaves many vacancies. The recent race riots of the north had little effect on migration. We have just as many coming, the record shows, as before the riots." D + T + T Colored Men Bid For Astor Estate. New York, N. Y.

Chattanooga, Tenn., April—the problem confronting Chattanooga manufacturers is to get labor to put in full time. There is ample labor in Chattanooga to operate all of the present industrial plants, provided all are willing to work according to Allen Parker of the Chattanooga Manufacturers association employment bureau.

During the war thousands of Negroes formerly employed in southern manufacturing enterprises left for the war factories of the north. Hundreds left Chattanooga. Reports from other cities state that they have not returned but are taking the place of foreign labor in the north and east. + + + Arkansas Supreme Contr Reversed Death Sentence in Six Cases.

Leadership is essentially necessary in the success of all organized movements and when the respective bodies discredit their own leaders and refute to be bound by compacts solemnly ratified, then a condition of anarchy prevails in this great land of ours. It is a common practice, both on the part of nations and organizations to disregard obligations, which do not contain penalizing charges that can be enforced. The disposition to notice responsibility by organized bodies, that in themselves are irresponsible has had a denormalizing tendency upon industrial conditions. If labor cannot be held to observe its contracts, how can employers of hare be made to observe contracts? 9 LECULAR CONSULATION. Hon. Henry E. Davis, of counsel for the Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias seems to have consolved himself with the idea that the case between the Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias, N. A.; S. A.; E.; A. and A., and the Grand Lodge of Virginia Knights of Pythias, N. A.; S. A.; E.; A. and A., is closed and the Supreme body with a balance due attorneys of only one thousand dollars. He speaks of the statement in the opinion of the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia and right here it would be well to quote Mr. Davis' communication to the Supreme Chancellor with reference to this specific phase of the case: "You will be pleased to learn that the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia has finally decided the controversy between the Grand Lodge of Virginia and the Order of Knights of Pythias by striking from the decree from which we last appealed the third paragraph thereof relating to the question of taxes, and pro-owancing in clear and unmistakable terms that in making its former deciation it was its purpose to close the litigation." No one doubts that it was, but who can close a question with the main issue left out? Mr. Davis says: The effect of this last decision is that the order of suspension of Virginia remains in full force and effect and the door is closed to Virginia to make any other further application to the Court in respect of the controversy out of which the litigation grew. It remains for the Order to expel Virginia if it sees fit so to do, or for Virginia to come to terms if it desires to remain within the Order. If then the door is closed to Virginia in respect to the controversy out of which the Litigation grew, then the door is also closed to the Supreme Lodge in respect to the controversy out of which the Litigation grew. It must find a new issue up on which to expel Virginia and this new issue will entitle Virginia to a new action at law in the United States Courts. Upon what ground can the Supreme Lodge expel Virginia when Virginia is already under suspension under a charge getting back to the original issue? But there is an important admission in Mr. Henry E. Davis' letter, The Supreme Lodge of Knights of THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Pythias revoked the charter of the Grand Lodge, K. of P. of Virginia thus expelling the aforesaid Grand Lodge from the Order and it was on account of this suspension that the Grand Lodge of Virginia was forced to go into the United States Courts to mutilate it fraternal existence. The summary action took place in Baltimore, Md. For more than six years this litigation has been under way. Virginia's Grand Lodge put out by the arbitrary act of the Supreme Chancellor and the Supreme Lodge is acknowledged 'to be in the Order by the very able senior counsel for that side of the convention and the work of putting the Grand Lodge out must be begun all over again. Mr. Davis gently reminds that official head that there is a balance of one thousand dollars and he makes no charge for the last appeal. He need not to have done so. He will and ample opportunity to secure additional amounts for legal services, if he elects to continue along the read marked out by the official head of the great organization. The Supreme Court of the District of Columbia examined carefully into the question of taxes and it decided that the Pythian Temple tax was unlawful and unconstitutional, just as the Grand Lodge of Virginia and its attorneys contended that it was. The Court of Appeals did not pass upon the question of taxes and plainly stated that this phase of the subject was not considered. But Supreme Chancellor Green wants eighteen hundred dollars worth of back taxes that were 'unconstitutionally levied. Let him try to collect them. Let him attempt to put Virginia's Grand Lodge out of the Order for a failure to pay them, and let him have an awakening to the fact that the "dead Las come to life" and a suit that able counsel affirmed had been settled has become unsettled and that another expensive litigation is in "full swing" with all of its oldtime vowen and bitterness. We were under the impression that Hon. Henry E. Davis was a Virginiaian. Evidently, he does not know Virginiaans. Certainly he is not acquainted with that type of Virginia citizenship that knows no defeat and who will fight on in the right until principles that are in accord with justice are amply vindicated and established. The admission by chief counsel for the Supreme Lodge that the attempt of the Supreme Lodge to put Virginia out of the Order has failed and that the work of putting the Grand Lodge of Virginia out must be begun all over again with its attendant annoyance and expense must be dishonouring information to the rank and file of the Tythian Order. --- AUTHOR MOOKES REPORT. We have received a copy of the very able annual report of Hon. C. Lee Moore to Governor Westmoreland Davis, for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1919. We are of the opinion that the work done by this hard working, skilled and patriotic official will compare favorably with any similar achievement by any official in any State of the Union. That part relating to colored people is of particular interest to us. It shows the number of acres of land owned by the colored people as follows: (1,723,478) one million, seven hundred and twenty-three thousand, four hundred and seventy eight. The value of this land is ($10,59,765) ten million, six hundred and eighty-nine thousand, seven hundred and sixty-five dollars. The total value of real estate owned by colored people with ten counties omitted, the reports not being received in time for this report is ($32,347,524) thirty-two million, three hundred and forty-seven thousand, five hundred and twenty-four dollars. The value of the personal property owned by colored people is ($14,392,027) fourteen million, three hundred and ninety-two thousand and twenty seven dollars. This makes the total value of the property of the colored people of this State, both real and personal in excess of ($46,739, 551) forty-six million, seven hundred and thirty-nine thousand, five hundred and fifty-one dollars. The colored people of Richmond own ($2,654,911) two million, six hundred and fifty-four thousand and eleven dollars worth of real estate. The colored people of Norfolk own ($1,918,800) one million, nine hundred and eighteen thousand, eight hundred dollars worth of real estate. The colored people of Lynchburg come next with ($1,141,470) one million, one hundred and forty-one thousand, four hundred and seventy dollars. Then comes Portsmouth with ($1,141, 470) one million, one hundred and forty-one thousand, four hundred and seventy dollars. Petersburg colored folks own ($974 340) nine hundred and seventy-four thousand, three hundred and forty dollars worth of real estate. The col ored people of Newport News, Va. own ($777, 865) seven hundred and seventy seven thousand, eight hundred and sixty-five dollars worth of real estate. The colored folks in Peanoke own, ($622, 860) six hundred and twenty-two thousand, eight hundred and sixty dollars worth of real estate. The people of Danville own ($537,915) five hundred and thirty seven thousand, nine hundred and fifteen dollars worth of real estate. The colored people of Charlotte- ville own more property than the colored people of Alexandria, Va. The value of the property in the first named city is ($359,610) three hun- dred and ninety nine thousand and ten dollars and in the latter city ($258,145) two hundred and fifty- eight thousand, one hundred and forty-five dollars. The colored people of Antioch own ($215,335) two hun- dred and fifteen thousand, three hun- dred and thirty-five dollars worth of property. This will prove to be interesting information to those cynics, who seem to believe that the colored folks are retrograding. Where we lose on the one hand, we make up on the other. Driven from politics and isolate, we are building a nation within a nation and the progress of the past fifty years indicates that the golden era of progress for the colored people lies in the hundred years yet to come. --- ROUNDING UP COLORED FOLKS The Socialists are waging a campaign among the white people and now they are sending our colored leaders among colored men to do evangelistic work. The most novel movement in this direction was that championed in this city in a three day discussion last week by Mr. Chandier Owen and Mr. A. Philip Bandolph. We did not attend the meetings, but we were much amused and interested at reports from the persons who did attend. Socialism has been an active factor in governmental relationship for more than a century, we might add for many centuries. There is no reason why colored people should be Socialists, but there is a reason why colored people who are Socialists should not droves their own people what they do. Theoretically speaking, sociology is the perfection of law itself. The only potential part of it is that in the schedule of perfection the act was overlooked that it is not from being perfect and that heavenly conditions of government exist only in Paradise, where God rules and reigns. These gentlemen were mercifully dealing with the Lincoln League of Carnegie, Trinity, which League is artfully endeavoring to lay claim to every colored man and colored political organization in the United States of America with the idea of being an important factor in dealing with the Republican campaign managers in the election and a Republican President after the election. and his President on the one hand and the Socialists of the colored folks brand on the other. The Democratic and Republican managers by their blunders have done more to build up Socialism in this country than any of the members of that party could possibly do. Will the colored people in any considerable numbers join the Socialist Party? It offers inviting terms and will admit colored folks in the front door and not by way of the sidegate, Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois, the most brilliant race-leader in this country is a high priest of socialism, so to speak although he confines his lectures to a discussion of racial subjects. We have admired the leaders of this great movement and ever since nearly a generation ago, when we read dBellamy's Looking Backward, we have regarded with awe and respect the apostles of this political religion. We have been of the opinion that the full realization by practice of the teachings of this great organization in the world of sin, deception and death was impossible. We hope that we are mistaken, though. However, when the Socialists secure control of the world's affairs and put into act un! practice the fundamental principles of this school of political dogmas, we expect to have gone the way of all the earth. --- We hope that the leaders among our people will realize the importance of furnishing information with a view to having a proper place and recognition in this historical volume that is now being prepared by the State of Virginia. Every minister, professional man, teacher and person of influence are urged to aid in this com pliation. The aid should be rendered now. Do not let it be said that an opportunity of this kind and character was over looked or neglected by our people. Colored men, you made a world record or yourselves and for us. Speak out and let us have the information for this work. Colored Virginians it is now or never. Let us hear from you. Fill out the questionnaires that are yours for the asking. Get in touch with the Virginia Historical Commission through the color d. collaborators. Act now, before it is too late. --- SPELLING COLORED FOLKS No one could have done more to incarcerate kill the work of the Color of Branch of the Salvation Army, to载 at 606 N. Second Street than the one escaped in the following publication in the Richmond, Va. News leader of Wednesday, April 21st, 1920. We publish it in fall display, heading included: "COLORED CHILDREN TO BE SOLD AT AUCTION." "Salvation Army to Give Thirteen Ophians to Highest Bidders." Thirteen colored children will be sold at auction by the colored branch of the Salvation Army, 606 North Second street, at the True Reformers hall tonight at 8:30 o'clock. Envoy: Lewis, of New York, the assisting officer of the Salvation Army will be the auctioneer. The thirteen children—ophans who need someone to take them in charge—will be sold to the highest bidder. Why Envoy D. Lewis did not know that such a proposed sale was not only the essence of slavery, but slavery itself and accordingly in violation of the encroachment Amendment to the Constitution of the United States is a mystery to us. There is little surprise over the fact that "there were hot times in the old town tonight." Colored people were not only indignant, but wryly and the proposed "sale" was caged on much to the relief of the Police Department that was forward in stopping the auctioning business. ANOTHER RACIAL DECISION. The Supreme Court of the United States has once more established its reputation for overturning fundamental law and in turning its back upon great principles. The disappointing part about the whole business is that Mr. Justice Brandelet, whose people have been the victims of just such race prejudice and unreasoning discrimination joined the majority in handing down an opinion that gives to States control over inter-state lines, and enables the course of caste prejudice to be extended to jurisdictions that do not reognize or legalize such practices. Instead of settling the question, it places it again in the forefront for treatment and it will not be long be fore this ridiculous decision will enbarrass the same jurists, who rendered it. A Great Revival. The work of Rev. Dr. W. B. Reed of Hartford, Conn., is being blessed with success. Up to Wednesday night there had been 106 conversions. Among the number is Mr. Beverly P. Turner, Jr., better known as "Tap" Turner. The Fifth Street Baptist Church has been crowded throughout the week with mourners and their friends. DANOKF NEWS POANOKE VA., April 20.—The Rev. Henry Anamant of West Coast Africa, spoke Monday night at Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church on the customs of his people in far away Africa. He emphasized the obedience of children to parents and guardians.

The funeral took place Sunday, the 18th from the Mt. Zion Baptist Church, of which she was a member. The cemetery was delivered by Rey, W. W, Hicks, pastor. Interment in Washington Heights Cemetery. The postite funeral director C. C. Williams had charge. Brother C. H. Howard, the delegate elected at the district conference to represent the Stewards Department of the A. M. E. Church in the Annual Conference at Wytheville made a splendid report of his stewardship, narrating in detail the work of that Conference. He spoke at the morning service at Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church. The entire race should feel proud of the record made by the people of Wytheville. The Mayor in his welcome address stated that only two colored people had appeared before his Honor in two years. A wonderful record for the people of Wytheville. If all the Mayors of old Virginia could say half as much how much more uplifting it would be for our race. The funeral of Mrs. Smith, who departed this Heo Friday took place from the First Baptist Church Monday evening at 2:30. Rev. A. L. James delivered the eulogy in a most heartfelt manner, as is very natural for this very instructive and wonderful teacher and Christian minister.

WILSON IS CANDIDATE ON THE LEAGUE PLATFORM, Promises to Keep Country Out of War, tf Covenanc tte Made is ‘Adopted Unchanged, Washington, April,—President Wil- son is fhrting with the Democratic renomination for the presidency and it is believed here that his failure to demand that his name be withdrawn fyom the primary ballot in Georgia is evidence’ that he Intends to run again on a platform of ratifying the lexgtte of nations covenant without enange in order that he may there by keep the United States out of war. It fs true that the President's name was netually withdrawn at the last mninute by some of the signers of the petition entering it on the primary Ballot but not at the behest of Mr. Wilson himself, who remained deter mined not to commit himself. ‘Thus the party leaders are faved with the same —_dilem- ma as at the now famous Jackson Cay banquet in January when they waited impatiently and in vain for sumo word from the party chief Which would take him out of the race and relievo them of embarrassment. ‘heir several candidates must now &6 on under the shadow of the belict that Woodrow Wilson will seek a third torm. Throughout tho treaty fight, con sistently in favor of ratification ot the convention without the slightest additional protection of the interests et the United States, the President has even refused to accede to any separate peace the majority in Con gross might determine upon.

It is therefore now conceded by the Democrats in Congress that he WAN not be swerved from his purpose of insisting that he should be upheld in spite of the action of the large me jority of the Senate to the contrary and of carrying the fight to the coun try in the presidential eampaign. He has already stated that it 1s tho Iead ing issue, Te has already denounced opposing Senators es tretters to the Bost Intsroats of the Tinited States, Ho'has ‘already declared that Amerten must yield something of {ts strength te the new internationalism, And thus ho has elated and re: peated thet the unamended league stands for peace, Unt he stands for bese thet America must stand for peaee, and that if the covenant ts adopted immaculate and the peo pie accopt his verdict at the polls penes Wil refgn. ‘This is so muth like ING that members of Congress dis iiss it with a derisive simile, Whether the Prosident is acain nominsted or not. it is certain that he will influence the convention in Fringing about an indersement of his own altitude and that of his party in the senate on the peace treaty.

France is the best and widest loved among modern nations. Her history iz an illuminating record of the mod ern social impulse to broaden the scope and to strewgthen the spirit of the modern man's desire to real ize high social designs; and the American gift is presented as a tok- en of the intimate regard in which the United States embodies its love for TAberty and its reverence for faith. Our race has an abiding and loving interest in the fortunes of France, ‘This fact softened the bitterness that cnergized the larger number among us when the United States entered the great world war. France wis bleeding white. ‘That meant death for liberty-loving France and a set ting back of the hands of the clock of progress. In this sacred moment we stilled the mutterings of our out vaged souls and went into the con flict “hell bent" to do and die that Liberty might live. We have strong reason to be proud of our war record. We held our heads high and our faces to the east. ‘There was no faltering in our ranks there wag no misgivings in our hearts and our blood reddened the streams and made more fertile the hills and plains of beloved France, Preachment and deed are the off spring of the true Democracy. It 1» because France does what she preach es that men—black and white, love her. She is socially honest. Not in the specific sense but in the deeper and more original ways that make for a permanence of life and spirit not to be found in the shallower ex {pression of high sounding preach- ments. ‘The closer the American people get to France the broader will grow the American life, The United States has much to Jearn—-Much to learn in the matters of government; Much to learn in the question of social val ues; much to learn concerning the Yeeper purposes of lifa Standing near (o the people who haye come the nearest to solving the complex prob Jems of the modern social order we may learn a great lesson of social truth and hence live the longer on the plane of a truly great social or- ganization. { Long live France!

An appeal to the Public, to raise funds to purchase a Player, including Religious records to be presented to Miss Elizabeth A.

To Whom It May Concern: I am indeed glad of the opportunity to write a word in regards to this worthy and reliable Company—The Southern Aid Society of Virginia. All of my family are members of it, and whenever sick they have met their obligations promptly, faithfully and courteously. I have been sick and disabled now for more than two years, and it has been the same in this case. Their representatives always seem happy when meeting their obligations, which causes a sick person to realize that a friend in need is a friend indeed. When one is disabled and receives that which was promised us when we joined and without unnecessary trouble, it is very beneficial. May they ever continue to prosper, and may God bless them, and bring them much success, that they may continue to do good is the sincere wish and prayer of one who is interested.
