White) ATLANTA, GA., June 2. (Special wire to The Planet.) Before large audiences that have packed to overflowing at every session the large auditorium of Bethel A. M. E. Church, the eleventh annual session of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is being held in Atlanta. Mayor Key and Rev. M. Ashby Jones, both of Atlanta, welcomed the Conference at this session. FIRST CONVENTION HELD IN THE SOUTH At every session it has been necessary to turn away large numbers of people who were anxious to hear what is being said at this, the first convention of the Association that has ever been held in a Southern city. Nor have they been disappointed. Between four and five hundred delegates and members are present, from all parts of the country, representing nearly 100,000 members in 328 branches in 43 States. DEMANDS OF THE NEGRO ARE PRESENTED. Every speaker has cast aside the usual practice of avoiding fundamentalals and has stated in unequivocal terms the demands of the Negro. The keynote of the Conference was given by James Weldon Johnson, Field Secretary, in his address at the opening session on Sunday afternoon, when he enunciated the following five points as cardinal: First, the Negro's untrammeled right to the ballot; second, national suppression of lynching; third, equal educational and industrial opportunity; fourth, abolishment of "Jim Crow" cars; fifth, ending of segregation in the Federal civil service. MOOREFIELD STOREY SAYS NO LEGAL QUESTION INVOLVED. At the same meeting an address was read by Arthur B. Spingarn, of New York, which was prepared by Moorefield Storey, who could not attend on account of illness, Mr. Storey declared, "There are no legal questions involved. The Constitution of the United States knows only American citizens and recognizes no difference of race or color. Every right that any American citizen has belongs to all." COMMITTEES AT WORK On Monday the two day sessions were given over to reports from the Branches and the appointment of committees. Lafayette M. Hershaw of Washington is chairman of the committee on resolutions. At the Monday night session, Mrs. Florence Kelley of New York, Eugene R. Black President of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, Dean Plato Durham of Emory University and Robert W. Bassall of Detroit, were the speakers. CAUSES FOR MIGRATION. Mr. Bagnall declared that the migration northward of Negroes was caused by lynching, disfranchisement, "Jim Crow" cors, unequal educational advantages and injustice in the courts and that if the South ever hoped to check the migratory movement it would be done only by giving the Negro every right and privilege accorded other men. SPINGARN MEDAL PRESENTED DR. DUROIS The Spingarn Medal was presented on the camp. of Atlanta U. university on Tuesday afternoon to Dr. W. E. B. DuBois for his share in the calling and formation of the Pan-African Congress. Tuesday night the question of lynching and segregation will be discussed and on Wednesday night the closing session will be devoted to the discussion of education and the ballot. The conference is already a marked success. The only speaker who has been unable to attend is Governor Derry v. WILL LOOK AFTER THE SICK.

Calvary Sunday School is putting on new life. Everybody is getting interested in the way and manner our teachers are displaying their Christian ability. We listened to some helpful remarks from Rev. Archie Brown. Rev. Cobbs preached a wonderful sermon Sunday morning and two accessions were made to the Church. The choir sang exceptionally well. At 3:30 we had a burning message concerning our native land from a real African Prince. Rev. Archie Brown preached a fine sermon at night, after which the clubs of the Church made their report for the Rally, which was fine. The Sunday School Department under the supervision of Mr. C. B. Jefferson gave $199.57, nearly making the goal which was set for $200. Mr. A. D. Daniel and Mr. A. D. Clarke, both being deacons, yet faithful teachers of the Sunday School, gave through their classes of the school. Sunday, June 6 after short services we will proceed to the baptismal waters, between the arch on Government Road and the railroad, after the morning services of the sister Churches. The Lord's Supper will be served. The First Baptist Church, Bermuda Hundred has some envelopes out, through its pastor, Rev. William Truck which are to be returned by June 12. Let us help our brother because he is one of Fulton's own sons, and a friend to Calvary. --- Mr. and Mrs. Henley Here. Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Henley, of Cambridge, Mass, after spending ten days visiting their relatives and friends in the city, left for their home last Tuesday evening.

RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JUNE 5, 1920 BAPTIST WOMEN WIL HOLD SESSIONS AT COVINGTON To the Sisterhood of the State and States, our Brotherhood in general and friends, we send forth our urgent appeal in behalf of the financial drive to be put over in the Woman's Baptist State Convention at Pocahontas, Va., June 21. The women have greatly helped in all the Churches in the remarkably successful drive, which culminated in going over the top at Staunton, Va. To help this drive to be a success we had to keep our own rally in the background and said we nothing about our work. We did so willingly and do rejoice in common with the brothren over the great success. But we are coming now in turn with our stretched hands, asking for your service for the same good cause. To this end we beseech the brothren to help those women who have helped them encourage those who are already organized into Educational Circles, Missionary Societies, Bands, and also to organize the women where they are not organized. We appeal to the ministers to lend a helping hand as pastors. We are asking that every effort be put forth to bring up as large amounts as possible from every Church. This is not to rival the brothren, but to supplement the princely sum already gathered by them for a cause greatly in need of reinforcement up the behalf of the youth of our race. Encourage the feebled efforts as well as the more efficient workers. Help the women to get together. We are asking the brethren to send us a collection for our work and send the same to Mrs. L. W. Tyrell, Box 399, Poacahontas, Va. by June 23. The Hayes Memorial Building has been repaired, renovated and painted at a cost of several thousand dollars. We in Convention assembled last year pledged to pay for this work, and it must be paid for in June. I therefore call upon you women everywhere to get to work at once, work fast and long, do the very best you can at this time for the time is short. The District Chairmen are urged to arouse the workers in their respective districts to get the Circles to send up as large amounts as possible. We are expecting one thousand dollars from each district, including the Circles in the district. The Southern District, Mrs. Janie Garvin, Chairman will report one thousand dollars. Central District, Mrs. Rosa Lovings, Chairman will report one thousand dollars June 24 Southwestern District, Mrs. C. M. Bezair, Chairman, one thousand dollars. Northern District, Mrs. D. Higginbotham, Chairman will answer one thousand dollars. Eastern District, Mrs. C. E. Jones, Chairman, has said we will bring up two thousand dollars. Western District, Mrs. Dora Burkes, Chairman, will bring up one thousand dollars. Sisters, do your very best to bring more if possible. Rev. Imman and his ladies are doing everything possible to make our stay at Pocahontas one of pleasure. They are now prepared for our coming. Send the names of your delegates at once to Mrs. Lizzie Jennings, Box 339, Pocahontas, Va. We are calling for ten dollars from every life member, it can be paid through your Circles. Annual members are asked to give two dollars through your Circles. Volunteer Missionaries are asked to bring up fifty dollars, if possible. Women, we must be lining up now for this great campaign; our Convention must reach more women, it is our opportunity and also our obligation. Our Field Worker, Mrs. Gordon is stirring the country. Let us hear from you before the Convention meets. We must have five thousand dollars. The Convention will meet June 24 at nine o'clock in the First Baptist Church, Pocahontas, Va., Rev. Imman, pastor. Come one, come all, you are welcome. Yours for five thousand dollars. MRS. L. W. TYRRELL. President. 1307 Twelth Street, Lynchburg, Virginia. 25TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY Mr. and Mrs. J.

One was driven by Rev. W. H. Branch and the other by Mr. J. A. Hines. All of the companions of the cars received brushes and were otherwise injured. It seems that a party, composed of Rev. William H. Stokes, D. D., pastor of the Ethemeyer Baptist Church, Dr. L. D. Blaney, Rev. W. H. Branch, Mr. J. A. Hines; Mr. Charley Taylor, Mrs. Paxton and son; Mr. A. C. Ellis bookkeeper at the Southern Aid Society, Inc., Rev. W. H. Branch's daughter and several other ladies occupying seats in all three cars went up to Taylor's Crossing to inspect the very fine site recently of trained for the location of a courser settlement and also for piences for Sunday Schools and the like. The place is known as Lake View Park and President Branch and Secondary Hines have been active in interesting the people of the city in the place which has an ideal location. Three cars were in commission, one driven by Rev. W. H. Branch, the other by Mr. J. A. Dines and the third by Dr. L. D. Hancey. After leaving Glon Allen, Mr. Hines decided to pass Rev. Branch on the road. In doing this, his left rear wheel went in the ditch and in turning sharply to regain the road and get it out quickly. he went directly in front of Rev. Branch's car over turning the same and threwing the occupants out, while his own car felt the toll impact of the collision. As a result Mr. Hines arra) was booked in two places and he was otherwise injured. Rev. Dr. Stokes was cut on the back of the head and on the face, both legs were slightly bruised, his shoulder injured and it was thought that it has been fractured. Mr. Ellis's arm was fractured. There was consternation among the party over the mishap. It was about ten o'clock when the party reached Richmond after the tragic experience of the day. The latest information is that all the injured persons are improving, Rev. Dr. Stokes ventured out despite his injuries, but later developments caused the surgeon to order him back to his room where he is restive under the restraints and looks very much like he has been in a railroad wreck. He is cheerful though and improving. Both cars were badly damaged. COLLISION AT SECOND AND CLAY Shortly after one o'clock, Monday May 31st, a motorcycle going North on Second street struck an automobile going east on Clay street. There were two men on the motorcycle, Mrs. N. B. Spurlock who was sitting on her front porch at the time saw one of them, land on the running board of the automobile and strike J. T. Colston the chauffeur. This newly caused hia to lose control of the car and it crashed into the front porch iron railing at 207 E. Clay Street and the window of the bay loat at 205 E. Clay destroying the railing and breaking the brownstone window sill and driving in several of the light bricks. The man on the running board had his hand badly mashed severing one of his fingers. J. T. Colston was badly cut about the face but his eye light was not destroyed. The injured man was conveyed to the Virginia Hospital. The car was damaged but the motorcycle was not much injured. --- OREAT REVENAL AT ST, PAUL A. M. E. CHURCH. Lynchburg, Va., June 1—The congregation and friends of St. Paul A. M. E. Church witnessed a great spiritual awakening. There were many conversions and many added to the Church. The new Presiding Elder D. W. Baker, of the Staunton District held his first session with us. He is a deep thinker, well versed in the Scriptures and much loved by all. Rev. C. W. Pendleton is the pastor Rev. C. W., Pendleton is the pastor and is succeeding nicely. Card of Thanks. We wish to extend our many thanks to our friends for their many acts of kindness, expressions of sympathy and the beautiful flowers sent on the occasion of the death of my devoted husband and our father, Silas H. Shackelford, Sr. May God's blessings rest upon them all. THE FAMILY. We, the Board of Stewards of Trident St. Bethel A. M. E. Church, desire to testify to the exalted christian character of Rev. M. E. Davis, who tor the past tour years has labored ardently as pastor in the interests of our beloved Bethel, and as a corrisian gentleman, his reputation is spotless and his character unblemished. We feel in making this assertion that we speak the sentiments of all right thinking members of the congregation. And as a Gospel preacher, I did not pave any sentimental road to Zion but preached an unenculturated Gospel that cut out the rankling sores of the heart and headed the soul, teaching at all times that in order to live hereafter, we must live rightly here. As a church financier Bethel has no witnessed his equal in the sixty-five years of her history. The four years of his administration just closed, the church has been selfless training. And a Bonded Indebtedness 0. $15,000.00 has been reduced to less than $1,000.00. His active life in the civic and sociological affairs of the city has seen him him the commendation of both races for his representative citizenship. Now that he is leaving us to take up his work in a larger food, we the Board of Stewartes pray that God's choicest blessings may fall in his work. Signed: E. J. Johnson, F. L. Bryant, J. T.

It is not generally known that the Catholic Church confers the highest honors she bestows on anyone also upon members of the colored race, elevating those who have excelled by a saintly life or the death of mar tyrdom to the ranks of the "Blessed" and of the "Saints." An event involving the beatification of natives of Africa transpired on May 13th and 15th in St. Peter's church in Rome, when 22 of them were hon ored in a manner similar to that in which the heroes of the Arena in the early Christian days were glori fied. Under the observance of a most solemn ritual Pope Benedict Xv. can those days proclaimed to the assembled congregation and to the world that the 22 martyrts of Uganda had been raised to the ranks of the blessed. These young men were pages to King Muanga. Because of their firm refusal to deny Christ and to do homage to the fetishes of their pagan brethren, 13 of their number were learned to death and 9 suffered manydom in various ways. The event trumpired in 1886. The sloanm ceremonies which marked the beatification of these African youths in recognition of their Christian fortitude were prefaced by a most careful investigation into all the circumstances connected with their martyrdom. The Catholic Church is exceedingly cautious in the processes of beatification and canonization, which lead up to the solemn and official designation of the subjects as Blessed or as Saints. The Uganda martyrs were honored simultaneously with Jean of Are, The Maid of Orleans, whose veneration the world over as the valiant defender of France in centuries past is as much a matter of history as were her courageous actions and ignominious death under circumstances proving her Saint hood. It is also a noteworthy fact that a number of French nuns were beatified on the same occasion having did as martyrts during the Great French Revolution. "Beatification" in the Catholic Church is the act by which the Pope ci Rome decrees the title of Blessed to one already known as a Venerable servant of God. It gives leave in specified places of public liturgical honors to be given to those who have been declared Blessed. It is a preparation for canonization; and implies that the servant of God has led a life of heroe sanctity, that at his intercession miracles have been wrought after his death, and that he enjoys the reward of heaven. In the Papal consistory held on March 5th at Rome, Pope Benedict dwelt at length on the glorious exAMPLE of moral courage given by the 22 Uganda martyrs, whose Christian fortitude he said, was worthy of exerciation by all mankind.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES one Year ..... $ 2.00 six Months ..... 1.10 six Months ..... 0.50 Foreign Subscriptions ..... 2.50 SATURDAY.....JUNE 5, 1920 People, who deal in junk will always have junk. Deceit and deception are in evidence on every hand. We cannot all be Christians, we can all do right. Living in this world is much hard er than dying in the same place. True friendship is invaluable, but it is a scarce article those days. Some colored folks are so insulting that their mouths are twisted. Food is high and scarce, but most people manage to get a square meal. It is as necessary to have recron aln as it is to work. This is a world of trouble, trial and tribulation for those, who try to do right. Some people are adepts at pulling down and absolutely useless at building up. Quarreling doesn't always do good but it relieves much pressure upon a troubled heart. The public schools are all right, but some part of the training in the public schools is all wrong. Buying all that you need means spending all that you make and probably just a little more. Colored men who claim their rights as Negroes should claim their rights as American citizens. When you are tired, sit down and rest, else you may get the final rest, where all of your troubles will be over. Some people are just "crazy" about getting money, after they get it they do not seem to know just what to do with it. There is much consolation troubled minds in the Scriptures now is about the time to road Scriptures. Some people are always on the lookout to get something for nothing and these kind of people usually get nothing for something. Some young men do not respect young girls as they should and some young girls do not respect young men as they should. Children that live in the street will finally land in the Jail or poor-house and their parents will responsible for their being there. Raising children these days is a difficult task. In some instances we observe that some of these children are raising their parents. Both are "raised" in about the same way. A person, who gets into the habit or borrowing money will soon find out that they have gotten into the habit of spending all the money that they borrowed and more besides. You can tell where colored folks live in a southern city by the unimproved condition of the streets. Of course, this does not apply to sections where the white people moved out and the colored people moved in. Some people want divorces because they cannot get what they want and some other people want divorces because they can get what they want. The latter class become spoiled and become dissatisfied with everything and with every body. It is said that worry kills more people than disease. We do not know about that, but we do know that both worry and disease have been keeping the undertakers busy later. The people up in Heaven are not worrying about the people down on the earth, but there are lots of people upon the earth worrying about the people up in Heaven. People, who expect to draw enough salary in order to have something left over after paying all of their expenses should remember that when they get an increase of salary, they should proceed to secure a decrease in expenses. Improve your condition, colored people by profound study. Keep good hours and good company. When you associate with the corrupt and dissolute, it will not be long before you will be the same way. President Wilson may have been ill, but it seems that his mind was not affected by his bodily ailments. He is giving his enemies worlds of trouble and his enemies are returning to him the compliment with an overflowing measure. When a young woman becomes as common as dish-water, no respectable young man wants her and when a young man becomes as dissolute and as workable as the average criminal, no respectable colored woman wants him. When a man is convinced that he has gotten a good woman and that conviction lasts about two years, it is not possible that he has made a mistake. Most women throw off the rusk of deceit in about six months and most men do about the same thing in just about half of that time. When a recently married couple walks about three feet apart from each other on the street,—good right! A lawyer is around the corner smiling. When they refuse to walk out in public at all, then the attorney has quit smiling, he has the case. The Republican National Committee in session at Chicago Thursday, June 3rd, by unanimous resolution directed Chairman Hays to notify all state organizations that they must discontinue holding local conventions for election of national delegates in places where it is the custom to refuse admission to Negroes. This is a long stop forward, but it foreshadows the recognition of those national delegates already elected under such restrictions and handicaps. It transfers the fight four years ahead and indicates that the fundamental principles for which these colored men have been contending have been recognized. States in which this has been the custom should be barred from the National Republican Convention now. All is --- THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA not lost and it is evident that the fight put up by colored men in Virginia and other States has not been without results. The nullification of the basic principles of the Republican Party may now be said to have ended. CHAIRMAN C. BASCOM SLEMP'S DELIVERANCE. The following letter received by Attorney J. Thomas Newsome of Newport News, Va., contains information that will be interesting and instructive to the average colored Republican voter in Virginia: Washington, D. C., 1920 We want you to know before the Convention meets in Chicago, the very general enthusiastic approval that has been given to the plan for building up the Republican party in the South, as expressed in our pamphlet "A Plea for National Unity." We are therefore enclosing another booklet containing extracts from a few of the great many letters we have received. We trust you will find time to give these excerpts careful reading as they demonstrate how thoroughly the thoughtful leaders of our party, in all parts of the country, appreciate the imperative need of a vigorous c instructive policy to ward the South at this time. Our headquarters in Chicago will be in Room A-20 Congress Hotel. We urge you to call upon your arrival that we may have the pleasure of personally meeting you and discussing this situation which is of such great importance to the party of the entire country as well as the South. Very sincerely yours, C. B. SLEM1, National Republican Committee from Virginia, Delegate at large to the Chicago Convention. JOSEPH L. CRUPPER, Chairman Republican State Committee of Virginia, Delegate at Large to the Chicago Convention. To Mr. J. Thomas Newsome, Newport News, Va. Mr. Newsome stands well among the white people of the community and as an attorney is often not listed according to his color. We are wondering if this is not one of the many letters sent to white men in Virginia with a view to getting them to join in the movement to build up a white Republican Party in this old commonwealth. For nearly half a century, white men in the Northland have been led to believe that the Democratic power in this section of the country could be destroyed if the "brother-in-black could be eliminated as a factor in the regular Republican organization. Clerk James D. Brady was brutally frank enough to declare that this could be brought about by the elimination of the colored citizen and by the bringing into the Republican organization the best men in the State. He evidently concluded that no citizen of color, regardless of his ability, training or money could be classed among the "best citizens." They must all be white citizens in order to be included in his favored list. Hon. C. Bascom Slemp may make as many proposals as he pleases, but when he and his associates abandon fundamental principles and proceed along commercial lines irrespective of the rights and privileges of any considerable number of the electorate, they and the Part that endorses the movement are "riding for a fall." Many office-seeking white men are commercializing present conditions and are now aspirants in fact not for elective offices, but for appointive one to the exclusion of colored Republican voters, who have weathered the storm of political persecution and os- Jacism. There were just four colored delegates in the State Republican Convention at Roanoke. Chairman Will H. Hays was invited there to view this new-born Republican Party. Evidently, this deceptive showing was accepted at its face value and it was beloved that a revolution in the political affairs in this State was imprint. The success at the polls was of course declared to be dependent up on the absolute elimination of the colored citizen. It was given out that the local white Republican ranagemount should be given a free hand in the State to the end that it is racial discrimination should be permitted to continue. Let it go at that. We regret that Attorney Newsome was not able to go to Chicago to test the morits of the invitation extended to him by the distinguished leader of the "new day" Republican Party in Virginia. We shall continue to contend for the fundamental principles as against this attitude of racial discrimination. We may not get our rights and privileges inside of the Republican Party, but we shall contend for them just the same, realizing that Right will eventually triumph for wrong can hold sway only for a little while. STRANGE CASE OF MR. DEBS, We have never been able to see the justice in sentencing Hona Eugene V. Debs to ten years' servitude in the Atlanta Penitentiary for making a speech, in which he used language that was regarded as treasonable. It savored of the old time spirit of intolerance and made a marty, of a man, who otherwise might have runk into insignificance and have been forgotten. This view has been emphasized by recent happenings when the Socialist Party in regular convention assembled nominated him again for the position of President of the United States. There must have been consternation at Atlanta and Washington, when it was known that a committee of notification would wait on Debs in prison and tender to him the honor while he stood inside of the prison gates in dishonor. Eugene V. Debs spoke and among other things, he is quoted as saying: "I have always been a radical, never more so than now. I have never been afraid of being too radical but I have feared to become too conservative. There is a tendency in the socialist party of workers. This ought to be checked. We are not in politics to get office, but to achieve the industrial emancipation of the working class." He enunciates the bed-rock principle of his activity. He is a reformer, a champion of the working classes. He is a radical. If he believes in these doctrines, he should declare his position and take the consequences. All great reformers have done the same thing. We do not subscribe to Mr. Debs' tenets or believe in his theories, but in a free country he has a right to state his beliefs and in proper way seek to convert the electorate to his way of thinking realizing that "truth fears nothing but concealment." But this is an age, in which little men hold sway and when "men will not stand sound doctrine." Mr. Debs is quoted further er: "Before beginning to serve my time here I made several addresses supporting the Russian revolution which I believe is the greatest single achievement in the history of mankind. I said I was a bolshevik. I meant it then and I mean it now. I did not mean I was a Russian bolshevik in America, but I was fighting for the same thing in America that they are fighting for in Russia. The 'dictatorship of the proletariat' is simply a term which the hostile press had used against us. We are opposed to dictatorship of any kind. We stand for freedom, equal rights and justice for all." The primary purpose of all criminal punishment is to separate the vicious from the body politic and to reform these enemies of society. What prospect is there to do either is such a case of this, when the prisoner is not conscious of having done any wrong or of having committed any crime against society? Whether it is true or not and whether or not he errs in his beliefs, he is nevertheless a philosopher, a leader a man who has the interests of the industrial elements foremost in his heart. He is quoted further: "I am heartily in favor of the Russian revolution and think we should support it with all our power. With all my heart I return thanks and appreciation to you for the honor you have done me. I may not be able to join in the activities of the campaign, but you can rest assured that, if I am here, my spirit will breathe out through those bars so that comrades will know my heart beats with theirs." It seems to us that the Department of Justice has done more to further the cause of social reform and to promote the interests of socialism by incarcerating the leader of the great party than could have been done by any other method. In France, Germany and Great Britain Socialists are not only tolerated, but granted the right of free speech. In the United States of America, they are persecuted and denied representation in a representative form of Government. But then, why should it concern us? We are affiliated with the Republican Party.

Chicago, May 31.—In open session today the Republican national committee began deciding contests from various State delegations to the convention, but made only slow progress. "In what Chairman Hays characterized as "judicial rather than political decisions," the committee seated regularly reported delegates from Arkansas and Alabama; postponed the contest over the District of Columbia until tomorrow at 9:00 A. M. and after giving an extended hearing to a three-cornered contest from Florida, adjourned over night without making a decision. MAY LAST FOUR DAYS MORE. At today's rate of progress Chairman Hays estimated that the contests would not be cleared up before Friday. Today's decisions will not be factors in the strength of any candidate in the convention and ranged principally about the questions of regularity, although the race issue frequently was injected. In all decisions today the committee was guided on questions of law and precedent by Charles B. Warren, of Detroit, national committeeman from Michigan who was acting at the request of Chairman Hays as the committee attorney. At the conclusion of each contest Mr. Warren issued a statement of the reasons upon which the committee was acting, Chairman Hays said that was a part of his plan of laying the committee work before the country. PENROSE PROXY TRANSFECRED Reasons for the Arkansas decision, placed in the record, were that at all times in the State convention there was a majority of 347 State delegates. The record also declared that a decision in the State convention in favor of seating the bolting Negroes would not have changed the result. The decision of the committee to limit a member's proxy to his own State precluded the use of Senator Penrose's proxy by John T. King, of Connecticut. The proxy was transferred to Abel K. Cassie, of Philadelphia. REGULARS ARE SEATED. Only 8 of the 137 contests were decided in the first day's work. In the Alabama contest the regularly reported delegate was seated in the absence of the contestant. Seven regularly reported delegates from Arkansas were seated, the Negro contestants being dismissed. One delegate instructed for Gov. Lowden and two reported favorable to him were among those given seats. Taking up the contests alphabetically, the committee struck a snag in the Florida contest where three separate sets of delegates, one each reported favorable to Maj. Gen. Wood, Gov. Lowden and Senator Johnson, respectively, were contesting. For more than three hours the committee argued over complicated technical points of the Florida case and finally referred it overnight to a subcommittee of three for recommendation tomorrow. The three committeemen were Warren, of Michigan; DuPont. (Continued On Eighth Page.) $150.00 ENDOWMENT PAID. Norfolk, Va. May 20, 1920.

Besides the decision on the Florida case the committee tomorrow will take up the hard-fought controversy between the Wood and Lowden forces in Georgia and that between three separate sets of delegates from the District of Columbia. The Florida contest, vigorously argued by the committee as well as the contestants, involves, La fact, the question of whether there is, in law, a Republican party in Florida. A regular faction headed by George W. Bean, of Tampa, the national committeeman, based its claims upon the Palatka convention of January 29 under a call issued by Daniel T Gerow, of Jacksonville, the Republican State chairman, who was elected in 1916 for four years. The delegation headed by H. L. Anderson, of Jacksonville, claimed title to elections in 1918 under a State primary law of a State executive committee, while the third group headed by A. L. Church and W. L. Vanduzor, of Jacksonville, claimed their seats by virtue of a second convention. CLAIMS PARTY IS DEFUNCT. The regularly reported delegates were charged by Mr. Anderson with having forfeited their right to seals by neglecting to file primary nominations for the State committee. He asserted they became defunct as a party organization under a State supreme court decision rendered last May, which held that under the primary law the party had failed to poll 5 per cent of the votes cast at an election and ceased to be a party organization under the law. The Church-Yanduzor group contended that both the Bean and the Anderson organizations were defunct and that representing the "real Republicans" of Florida, they were calling "for a new deal all around." They represented that with the large increase of northern immigration into Florida, the State could be considered a doubtful one if the national committee would recognize a Republican organization which they argued would command the support of the electorate. 1. The regulars were charged with mixing rules in Florida for patronage purposes largely aided Mr. Anderson declared "in collusion" with the Democrats. The Bean-Gerow organization, he charged was a "close corporation" and an "officeholders' trust." The charges of collusion were denied by Lake Jones, of Jacksonville, who argued the case for the regular delegation, and declared both the opposing delegations were acting under title from a former chairman who had registered as a Democrat. He also contended that the court decision did not wipe the party out of existence in Florida but applied merely to the primary nominations for vacancies. 2. The regularly reported faction further claimed a holdover title from the State committee chosen in 1916. SEATS FOR EXTRA DELEGATES Chairman Hays at the close of today's committee meeting announced a solution of the problem of seating the 56 extra delegates which have been chosen from ten States. It was found that 40 additional chairs can be placed in the space arranged for delegates on the floor of the Coliseum and the other sixteen will be accommodated by occupying the spaces of delegates who happen to be absent from sessions. In announcing the plan to the national committee, Chairman Hays said: "In almost every case the election of these extra delegates in the various States ironed out bad factional differences, and have made for harmony within the party. I do not want to recommend establishing troublesome precedents, but I am suggesting a way to seat these delegates and preserve the good that was accomplished in the States by their election." The chardman appointed Committee to篮桥 of New Hampshire; Bursum, of New Mexico, and A. K. Cassel, of Philadelphia, who is holding the proxy of Senator Penrose to assist in working out the plan. At the quarters of the Hoover Republican polls today it was announced that Herbert Hoover would be placed in nomination by "a distinguished Republican," and that the seconding speech would be made by a Republican of equal prominence in the party. No names were announced. WOOD MANAGER'S ARRIVE. Wood chieftains began assembling at main headquarters today with the arrival of Maj. Gen. Wood, accompanied by Senator Moses, his Eastern manager, from Washington. Almost confident with the arrival of Gen. Wood the Johnson headquarters issued an announcement that Senator Johnson would arrive next Thursday at noon, and that a parade had been arranged to follow his re- Wood, it was announced at Wood headquarters that the meeting between the Wood leaders, which had been scheduled to take place tonight, had been postponed until tomorrow morning. At that time Gen. Wood, William Cooper Procter, his campaign manager; Senator Moses, his Eastern manager, and Frank M. Hitchcock will decide upon the man to lead the general's light on the floor of the convention. Gen. Wood stated that he was in excellent health and that the situation in the East looked exceptionally bright. Some limitation of immigration, but not sufficiently strict to interfere with "advantages capital naturally sees in a large foreign labor supply" was recommended today for inclusion in the party's platform by the subcommittee on immigration of the Republican advisory committee. STRICTER TESTS SUGGESTED. The committee declared that both the interests of capital and the demands of labor for relief from the competition of cheap foreign labor should be considered in the policy adopted. Litigations of new arrivals in this country to a given percentage of the naturalized citizens of their race now in the country was suggested as a means of limiting immigration. Stricter requirements as to mentality and past records of immigrants were also suggested. ROANOKE NEWS ROANOKE, VA., June 3.—Rev. J. S.

Blackstong, Vh., June 2.—Mr. Charles Satchel Morris, America's most brilliant orator, delivered an occasion in Shiloh Baptist church on Tuesday night of last week. Mr. Morris is justly called "America's most brilliant orator." He is a young man, quite young, and since he has proved himself to be an ecclesiastian at this early period of his life, as was asked by some one of the speakers on the night he spoke here. "What will he do when he comes to be an old man?" Mr. Morris used for a subject: 'My Race, My Country, My Flag.' He carried his hearers into the details of his subject, relating some of the incidents resulting from the great world war and stating that war was not over yet would not be until the Negro was among the pleas potentialies to set in the peace conference. He brought home to us many of the injustices the Negro has suffered and is suffering at the hand of the whites, especially in this, "the great southland." But he assured his hearers that the whites were awaiving to this great wrong. Mr. Morris said so many good things and with such unusual cloquence, it would appear unfair to dwell too lengthy on any particular part of his discourse. The installation services of Rev. T. J. Jordan took place at Mount Gerazine Baptist church last Sunday. A splendid program was rendered. The welcome address was given by Mrs. Cordelia Bagley. A history of the church was given from the time it was of nothing but logs and mud up to the building of the present structure. Rev. G. W. King preached the morning sermon and Rev. Albert Jones the afternoon. A large crowd was present all day. Between the morning and afternoon sermons a recess was given for dinner and there was a plenty to feed all present not only a plenty, but a variety. Dean on J. L. Royal acted as Master of Ceremonies in the place of Rev. Wilis Ampy, who did not show up. The amount of collection raised for the day was $60.00. Rev, and Mrs. R. W. Ashburn, Miss Sallie Greenhill and Miss Fannie Lee attended the marriage of Miss Emily Thompins at Mannboro last Wednesday night. The ceremony took place in Oak Grove Presbyterian church, performed by Rev. J. P. Robinson of Burkville, assisted by Rev. E. J. Harris of Petersburg. Friends were present from Petersburg, Kenbridge Norfolk, Blackstone and other places. Following the ceremony at the church a reception was given at the home of the bride's parents from 9 to 11. Perhaps one of the largest crowds ever assembled at Jackson's Hall gathered there Monday night to hear and greet the Honorable Grand Chancellor, John Mitchell, Jr., who was scheduled to deliver an ad dress at 8:30 but owing to punctures and loss of way it was about ten o'clock when he and his party arrived. Notwithstanding the lateness of the hour of his arrival, the audience waited patiently, being eager to hear this great leader of the Negro race. In the meantime, while the gathering was still being enlarged our District Deputy Grand Chancellor, Mr. J. L. Royall received a telegram from Mr. Mitchell, stating that he had left Richmond at a certain time and thus we were further assured of his coming. And when he did roll up in his big steamer, there was a great rush at the ticket window. When "John Mitchell, Jr." walked on the rostrum of the hall there was a loud clap of hands, followed by another thundering of applause when he was introduced to make his address. While his address dwell on business principles, it was 'interspersed with a bit of humor here and there to break the monotony. Mr. Mitchell told us all about the fight against the Supreme Lodge and the cause there of. He stated that the Supreme Lodge was violating their own con situation when they imposed the tax which resulted in the fight in question. He also stated that this fight had cost the Supreme Lodge ten dollars for every one that the Grand Lodge of Virginia had spent.

Try "Danderine" and just see what long, soft, attractive hair you can have. chell says he knew he was right all the while, thus he fought them and will continue to fight them until, they change their constitution. Here he brought in the biblical quotation: "One with God is a majority." The Grand Chancellor told us many truths, not only beneficial to the Knights and Courts, but which were helpful to the race in general. He urged us to do some thinking for ourselves, save some of our earn tags, yet not be an old miser, respect our fellow men, be polite, but do not be a coward in any respect. At the close of his remarks he quoted a splendid piece, of poetry entitled: "We are Coming." After Mr. Mitchell's address and the applause from audience Mrs. Jennie V. Jackson asked everyone in the house to take out their handkerchiefs and extend the Grand Honors to the Grand Chancellor. The Grand Chancellor, his staff officers of the Lodges and Courts and the members of the uniform rank-to-be, (this having been set up after the supper) retired into the dining hall where they dined to the satiation of the inner man, after which the Grand Chancellor and his staff proceeded to set the Uniform rank, giving the degree to about thirty-five healthy and enthusiastic men.
