WE SERVE - INFORM - ADVERTISE THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia Stato Library, STUDENT IS SLAIN IN A WHISKY ROW R. T. Meads, Dacmouth Junior, Says He Shot H. E. Maroney in Self Defense—Tragedy After Liquor Deal—Witness Says Accused Youth First Fired on Visitors Who Took Rottle —victim Shot in Own Room. (By the Associated Press.) Hanover, N. H., June 16.—A student quarred over whiskey early today resulted in the killing of Henry E. Maroney, of Medford, Mass., a senior at Dartmouth College, and the arrest of Robert H. Meads, of La Grange, "U. a junior, charged with his murder. Meads fled after the shooting, which occured at Maroney's rooms in the Theta Delta Chi fraternity" house. While a posse of students was searching for him he walked twelve miles to Mascoma station and boarded a train for Boston. He was captured on the train by High Sheriff Claude M. Murray, who took from him an automatic pistol and obtained a confession in which Meads claimed he fired in self defense. Says Father Will Defend Him. When arraigned here before Judge Harry E. Burton on the murder charge, Meads waived examination and was held without bail for the September grand jury. He was taken to the county jail at Woodsville. He announced that his defense would be directed by his father, A. H. Meads, of Chicago, who is an attorney. Out of the conflicting reports of the affair the college authorities and county officials found it difficult for a time to determine the facts. Meads' claim that he acted in defense of his life was not supported by details given by others. Early statements to the college authorities that a visit to Meads' room early this morning by Maroney and other students had no connection with liquor were disputed by subsequent statements. The story told to County Solicitor John H. Newton, by Harold W. Whittaker, of Somerville, Mass., Maroney's roommate was regarded as the most direct account of what happened. Fired Three Shots, he says. Whittaker and Maroney went to Meads' room in North Massachusetts Hall to purchase a quart of whiskey, he said. They offered him $8. Finally he agreed to sell them a pint for that price and had gone to get it. Whittaker said, when Maroney picked up a partly titled quart bottle, passed it to Whittaker and told him to take it away. Whittaker jumped from the window to the ground, twelve feet below and as Maroney followed, Meads fired three shots after them. Neither of the men was hit and they thought it was an attempt to frighten them. Maroney and Whittaker then went to their rooms at the fraternity house and prepared to go to bed. They had not touched the liquor, he said. Fired Without a Word, It is Said. Shortly afterward Meads entered their rooms, Maroney was in the bathroom. Meads sat down at Maroney's desk. When Maroney came out of the bathroom, according to Whittaker's story, he approached Meads. Meads reached on the desk, pressed his pistol against Maroney's side and fired. No word was ex banged between the men. Whittaker said. Maroney died almost instantly, shot through the heart. Meads ordered Whittaker, the latter told the officials, to "get out of here, or I'll do the same to you." As Whittaker started to leave by one door, Meade backed out of another, covering his retreat with his pistol. Two other students, James C. Chilent, of Banger, Maine, and Clifford F. Hart, of Brooklyn, N. Y., aroused by the shot, rushed out of their rooms, but not in time to catch Meads. Thought It a Trivial Scrape. In his flight, Meads was joined by Erwin T. Weis, of Hull, Al., who, when questioned later, said he knew there had been a shooting, but did not know the nature of it, and sought only to aid his classmate in what he thought was a trivial scrape. They walked to Mascoma, where Meads boarded to Boston-bound train. Weis returned to Hanover and was detained for a time, but was released later. Sheriff Murray boarded the train at Canaan, having received a telegram to be on the watch for the fugitive. When he acceded Meads, the latter admitted his identity. Asked if he was armed, the student surrendered his pistol. He said he was going to Boston to get in touch with his father, in order to have him help in his defense. Says He Was Overpowered. Meads told the sheriff that several students, among them Maroney, had gone to his rooms, overpowered him and stolen the quart bottle of whiskey. He fought them to recover his liquor, he said, and, in a quarrel, fired in what he considered self-defense. Both Maroney and Meads were ensigns in the navy during the war, Maroney in the transport service, and Meads as a flier at Pensaeola. Maroney was president of the Dartmouth Dramatic Society and was popular at college. He was suspended last year because of a drinking row, but was allowed to return on a pledge that he would abstain from liquor until he was graduated. President Ernest M. Hopkins ex- pressed the belief today that Maroney had kept his pledge, although it was considered possible that, with his degree earned, he assumed that he was released from it and had arranged a spree with Whittaker by way of celebration. Meads was involved in a fatal shooting of a fellow freshman named Arnold during his first year at college, a shotgun being discharged while they were examining it. Before his death Arnold made a signed statement that it was an accident. Father Leaves for the East. Chicago, June 16. Albert H. Meads, father of Robert T. Meads, Dartmouth junior, left today for the East to arrange for his son's defense.—Washington, D. C., Post, June 17, 1929. HELP TO MAKE RICHMOND WHAT IT IS. An Appeal to Colored Citizens. Every colored citizen is vitally interested in the growth of the city of Richmond. Larger the population we can have credited to Richmond at this time by the Government, more prominent will be our city in the eyes of those beyond our borders and most inspiring to our citizens. Every citizen who knows he has not been listed in the recent census can contribute much to the good of Richmond by sending his name to the office of THE PLANET, which would insure, as far as possible, none of our citizens failing to be counted. THE PLANET has arranged with the Government to list all such names and earnestly appeals to every colored citizen, if in their mind there is the siglategest doubt they were not listed, to report this information at once. This is your city and you should do everything possible to make it a more prosperous and happier place in which to live. Growth and prosperity is most helpful in this regard. --- NEGRO IS GRANTED WRITT. Supreme Court to Review Case of John Williams, Sentenced to Electraction July 7. John Williams, colored, although under sentence of death for July 7th in the Virginia penitentiary, has been granted a respite by the Supreme Court of Appeals through a writ of error and supersedes in the case on application of his counsel, Don P. Halsay, of Lynchburg. The case will be heard at the Stamton term of the court, which begins in September. This means that Williams has a respite certainly until the appeal is disposed of. Williams is under sentence of death for the murder of Detective L. A. Martin, of Lynchburg, on the night of March 5th. Judge Proutis granted the writ in the case. RED CIRCLE COMMUNITY CLUB NOTES. Last week among the many callers at the Red Circle Community Club were Dr. A. A. Graham, of Phoebe, Virginia, and Mr. Engene Kinkle Jones Executive Secretary of the Urban League. Dr. Graham and Mr. Jones spent some time inspecting the work of the What Good Are We Art Club, one of the Red Circle groups, and declared that they had never seen more beautiful hand work. Mrs. Therese Lee Connelly, of Community Service, incorporated, is continuing her course in playground and recreational work. In addition to the classes)at the Red Circle Club, classes are being held at the Dunbar School, South Richmond, and at the Community Center, Fulton. The Community Chorus, under the direction of Mr. Jos, Matthews, meets at the Club every Tuesday evening at half past eight o'clock and new members will be welcomed. COOLING BREZZES TEMPER SEVERE HEAT IN RICHMOND Nights Are Pleasant and Periodic Rains Give Temporary Relief to Surfers Though the weather has been excessively hot continuously for three days here, as elsewhere, and intense suffering is reported from some of the larger cities, Richmond has had no prostrations and very little discomfort. Those who study weather conditions claim that the heat period is holding out longer than is usual in this climate and especially in view of the fact that heavy showers have fallen every day for a week up to yesterday. The rains have given temporary relief and the nights have been pleasant with cooling breezes. Cool breezes during the days also, have served to temper the fierceness of the heat. The parks and shaded open spaces about the city have been very popular during the afternoons and late into the night. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JUNE 19, 1920 REPUBLICANS NAME STAND- ARD BEARERS HARDING AND COOLIDGE Race Plank Conservative--Con-vention Echoes. "(By the Associated Negro Press," Chicago, IL, June _____ "Harding and Coolidge!" It took ten ballots to get it but, "It's a good ticket," comes the word from all complexions of Republicans. But the battle? Well, it was a hot one while it lasted. It began in a blaze of oratory and prolonged cheering and it ended amid the tenseness of a struggle quite unlike in the history of Republican national conventions. The tenth ballot had begun. In the far corner of the delegate section a tired and husky-voiced delegate broke the back of the stifling silence with Gov. Frank Willis' striking appeal for the Ohio Senator: "Say, Boys and Girls, let's pick Harding." The effect was magical. State after State took the cue and when the smoke of the charge had lifted, 674 7-10 votes had been cast for Warren G. Harding and the fight for the nomination had ended. It took one ballot to "pick" Gov. Calvin Coolidge for the vice-presidential nomination. Some Convention Echoes The fight was a bitter one and for a time seemed to threaten the very existence of the party. During the contests the feeling ran high. In its wider range it was Wood versus Lowden, with Hiram Johnson near enough to east the shadow of a "split" on the scene. It was a hot kettle of fish. A shifting shrugging uneasiness afflicted the National Committee, and it was Wood, Lowden, Lowden, Wood, until everybody was worn down to a literal frigate. Governor Lowden in the end, however, received a shade in the decisions. This result made the colored men madder at a score of wet hues, colored delegates pledged to the Illinois men came in for an overdose of vitiscan lambing and a not overpowerable administration of an insistence that they "must remember East St. Louis." The pressure in this direction was strong enough to cause a wavering among the Southern delegations. General Wood, of course, was the beneficiary and during the first five ballots it enabled him to maintain a reasonably comfortable lead. Then the Lowden influence headed by the Chicago Tribune started a "nigger domination" fall which precipitated the deadlock that ended in the nomination of Senator Harding. Race Plank Conservative Safely conservative is what the prominent colored men in the party call the protest against lynching and disfranchisement embodied in the platform. Its conservatism, however, is offset by an unqualified espousal of the principles of an unadulterated Americanism which they declare paves the way for an early realization of the race's aspiration to be accorded equal rights to opportunity and untrammeled citizenship. Lincoln Johnson's, Big Victory. Henry Lincoln Johnson won a big and notable victory. He seated his delegation and afterwards was elected National Committeeman from his State, Georgia. For a brief while there were dark rumors floating about to the effect that Henry Linecoln had sold out the race in an overweening desire to get a delegate seat in convention. It was afterward revealed that the "delegate seat" was an essential phase of the Johnson plan of strategy to land the national committeehip. When this fact was discovered—and it was not discovered until the redoubtable Lincoln had the bacon safely lodged in his political bag—he at once bounded back into the linelight as the "best that ever came down the pike" with the brethren. Charles Cottrill Looms. Indications now point to Charles Cottrill as the colored man nearest to the throne. He is an "original" Harding man. He pioned his faith to the man from Marion at the very outset of the pre-convention campaign and stuck until his chief was crowned the victor and hailed as the leader of the party. Cottrill is popular in Ohio and is favorably known outside his State as an orator of commanding ability and an all-round and well informed man of affairs. Delegates Praise Chicago. The delegates now hail Chicago as the ideal convention city, and without hesitation name its "greatest ever." "Colored Chicago" was "Wood" to the core, but it did not fail to open its doors and give unstinted hospitality to the visiting delegates no matter what were their affiliations. The Appomattox Club led in the round of entertainments and was closely followed by the Leonard Wood League, which had its headquarters near to the Associated Negro Press at the celebrated Vincennes Hotel. Colored Men Will Support Ticket. The colored leaders left Chicago agreeing that the colored vote will be bound supporting the ticket, Charles Cottrell, Emmett J. Scott, William H. Lewis, Charles W. Anderson, Col Franklin A. Dennison, William M. Donald, Walter Cohen, Henry Lincoln Johnson, Chris Perry, Dr. J. A. R. Crossland, William C. H. Fueston, Clas Calbayon, Nelson W. Crews, Ernest Lyons and other influential colored men express the conviction that the "belt" shadow that hovered over the situation is long as the nomination of Gov. Lowden seemed a probability, has fully disengaged. WIDE CAMPAIGN IN PROGRESS TO ELECT HARDING. Senator Gets Hundreds of Telegrams From All Parts of Nation—To See Hays Monday—Root Tells Candidate He is Wearing the Famous Mantle of McKinley—Leslie Shaw is Caller—Ohioan Blue Pencils the Log Cabin Riseplace, but Admits Rail Splitting. New York Sun, June 16, 1929; Washington, June 15.—The campaign for the election of Senator Warren G. Harding, Republican nominee for President, already has begun. Telegrams from scotts of Repub'an leaders arrived today at the Senator's quarters along "Presidential Alley," as his rooms in the Senate office building have been nicknamed, informing him that in every section of the country the enthusiasm aroused by his nomination has been followed promptly by the adoption of a comprehensive program for his election. "I see the boys are getting busy," remarked the Senator as he glanced at these messages, which, with additional hundreds of telegrams of congratulations, were arranged on his desk. Invitations for him to make addresses in many gatherings were numbered in the correspondence, all of which he has been forced to decline for the present. The Senator announced today that he will serve out the remainder of his term in the Senate and at the same time will withdraw officially from the race for the Ohio senatorship. The only fixed engagement now ahead of him is the conference with Will Hays, chairman of the Republican National Committee, which is scheduled for next Monday, and will include other officials of the committee. After that Senator Harding said he would leave here for a vacation, in some place not yet selected, and then go to his home in Marion to prepare his speech of acceptance. He expects the notification ceremonies to be held some time after the middle of July. Shaw Confers With Harding Leslie M. Shaw, of Iowa, Secretary of the Treasury in the Roosevelt administration; Representative Mondell (Wyoming), Republican floor leader; Representative Dick T. Mor- gan (Oklahoma), Republican Senator Thomas (Colorado), Democrat, and Major-General Clem, S. U. S., retired, "the drummer boy of Shiloh," called at the Senator's office today to extend their good wishes and congratulations, along with a multitude of other visitors eager to greet him. He was closeted for more than an hour with Mr. Shaw, discussing the campaign outlook, and then remained at his desk disposing of his correspondence until nearly noon, when he came out to greet his callers. "Hello, Charlie," he called out as he spied Senator Thomas, and shook hands. They chatted for a few minutes, and then Senator Thomas said: "If I fell called upon to give you any advice I would suggest that you stay at home for your campaign." "That fits in exactly with my thought," replied Senator Harding. "Then you will win," replied the Senator, "but I warm you that I shall advise our nominee to do the same thing." Deprived of his customary afternoon game of golf by showers, Senator Harding satisfied himself with telling his visitors how he won yesterday against former Senator Bourne (Oregon), by making two timely and difficult thirty four points. "Bourne told me if I was as lucky as that" (a no competition) said the Senator, "that there would be no stopping me. Of course there were no motion picture men around when I made those putts, though they were all on the job when I made some bad decisions." Root Sends Congratulations Notables who sent messages of congratulations to the nineteen-today included former Senator Elijah Root (New York), from Scheveningen; Henry Lane Wilson, former ambassador to Mexico; Fred Brumel, grand chancellor of the Knights of Pythias, and William J. Bryan, former Secretary of State. "I wish I could let you see the Bryan message," said Senator Harding with a smile, "but it was marked personal." I will say, however, that it said we did not have a single political view alike. Senator Root's telegram asserted that "the mantle of McKinley has fallen upon you." Some one of the newspaper men asked Senator Harding if it were true, as reported, that when he got word of his nomination, he said that "he felt like a man who had stayed on a pair of eights and had drawn a full house." "As a newspaper man I am familiar with those terms," he remarked, "but that isn't what I said. A great many things get into print that are not—well, strictly accurate. For instance, I saw the story saying that there was a movement to buy and preserve the log cabin I was born in. I hate to spoil that story, but while I was born in Morrow county, as the story said, it was not in a log cabin, but in a modest frame house." "You are not going to spoil the rail-splitting story, too, are you?" asked a woman reporter. No, I did really split rails one time the Senator hastened to assuage her. Administrator's Notice.

LIBERIA WANTS AMERICAN NEGROES, A farm of twenty-five acres of fine land is given by the Liberian Government to every Negro immigrant from America, according to Dr. J. H. Reed, of Monrovia Liberia now in this country. On this land abundant crops of oceef, sweet potatoes, rice, wheat, cocoa or rubber can be raised and there are good markets for them when harvested. "Unlimited opportunity for progress is what the American Negro seems to want," said Dr. Reed. And he can find it in Liberia. I found it so, and so will every other colored man who goes there and does his part. Liberia needs American Negroes and American Negroes need Liberia." Dr. Reed was born in Baton Rouge Louisiana and graduated from New Orleans University. He went to Liberia as a missionary for the Board of Foreign Missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1905. He was soon made president of the College of West Africa maintained in Monrovia by American Methodists. He succeeded the late Bishop A. P. Camphor in that office. He was also editor of Liberia and West Africa, a publication devoted to the religious life of Liberia. In 1914 Dr. Reed took out his citizenship papers in Liberia, and was soon appointed Principal of Donovan Institute under the Liberian Governnet. He has made five trips to this country since first leaving it. Dr. Reed was ministerial delegate to the Methodist Episcopal General Conference in America in 1912, 1916 and 1920. REPUBLICANS WILL NAME THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE. Wood, Lowden and Johnson Forces Line Up for Supreme Test. HIRAM'S TREATY VICTORY FORE SHADOWS HIS UNDOING. Bosses Beaten on Platform Unite in Tremendous Drive to Nominate Wood. Chicago, June 10—Recruiting also party by eleventh-hour compromise from a threatened split on the league of nations issue the Republican National Convention today adopted a platform and then adjourned to nominate a candidate tomorrow. Harmony on the league issue was reached after many hours of heated negotiation revolving about the sub committee on resolutions but bring ing into consultation first and last virtually all the big men of the party. In the end the reconcilables and mild reservationists accepted a treaty plank drafted by Elibu Root before his departure for Europe several weeks ago, but revised in some details to meet the views of the contending elements. After impatient marking time all day for the resolutions committee to complete its work the tired convention received with cheers the reading of the platform by Senator Watson, of Indiana the committee chairman and adopted it with a great chorus of cheers. It nearly drowned out a minority report presented by Edwin J. Gross, the Wisconsin member of the committee and signed on by himself. The substitute provided flat rejection of the ownership of advocated government ownership of railroads and confined other proposals which the convention hooted as "socialistic." JOHNSON'S PYBRIHC VICTORY The relative chances of the presidential candidate apparently were little affected by the platform agreement and on the eve of nomination there was in evidence no development which changed the situation with Wood, Johnson and Lowden leading but without any of them having delegates to nominate. So far as the talk of those on the inside revealed, the attainment of Harmony over the troublesome treaty plank had no reflex on any of the candidates except possibly in the case of Senator Johnson. He will not row appear on the convention floor and that is a disappointment to his supporters, who had believed that the appearance of their leader in a treaty fight would help his battle for the nomination. Johnson forced the convention to adopt his league of nations plank and by his beaten the mild reservationists but his triumph may resolve itself into a Pyrrhie nature. He predicted tonight that the candidate would be named tomorrow. BOSSES HUNGRY FOR VICTORY The party bosses are absolutely set on winning in November, and they made the great sacrifice to keep the G. O. P. intact. In the interest of undivided ranks they surrendered to the threatened Johnson holl. They sacrificed the party position on the league of nations to hold the Johnson vote. But having given Johnson a platform this is satisfactory to him these bosses tonight are making a tremendous drive for General Wood and Governor Lowden. PRESIDENT DAVIS HERH Rev. A. A. I. Davis of Wilson, N. C., is in the city conducting a revival. He is President of the Old Folks Home at Wilson, N. C. and reports great progress in his work. He caries recommendation from many in influential citizens and organizations. One from the Wilson Chamber of Commerce commends him highly to the public. Proof That Dark Skin Can Be Made Lighter.

Meads, of La Grange, ML, 4 junior, charged with his murder, Meads’ fled after the shooting, which occured at Maroney’s rooms in the The- ta Delta Chi fraternity? house. While A posse of students was searching for him he walked twelve miles to Mas- coma station and boarded a train for Boston. He was eaptured on the train by High Sherift Claude M. Murray, who, took from him an automatic pistol and obtained a confession in which Meads claimed he fired in self defense. Suys Father Wil Defend Him. When arraigned hera before Judge Harry FE. Burton on’ the murder charge, Meads waived examination and was held without bail for the Septem- ber grand jury, He was taken to the county fall at Woodsville. He an- nounced that his defense would be di- rected by his father, A. H. Mends, of Chicago, who is an attorney. Out of the conilicting reports of the affair the college authorities and coun- ty officials found It difleult for a time to determine the facts.

Whittaker jumped trom the window to the ground, twelve feet below and as Maroney followed, Meads fired Unree shots after them, Neither of the men was hit and they thought it was an at. tempt to frighten thom. Maroney and Whittaver then went to their rooms at the fraternity house sand prepared to go to bed. ‘They had not touched the liguor, he said, Fired Without a Word, It is Said. J Shortly afterward Meads entered their rooms, Maroney was in the hath room, Meads sat down at. Maroney's desk. When Maroney came out of the bathroom, according to Whitaker's story, he approached Meads. Meads reached across the desk, pressed his pistol against Maroney’s side and fived, No word was exchanged between the men, Whittaker said. Maroney died almost instantly, shut through the heart. Meads ordered Whittaker, the latter told the olticials, to “get out of here, or TM do the same to you." As Whit! taker started to leave hy one door, Mende backed out of another, covering his retreat with his pistol. ‘hwo other students, James C. Chilenti, of Bangor, Maine, and Clifford F.

Sheriff Murray boarded the train at Canaan, having received a telegram to be on the wateh for the fugitive. When “he accosted Meads, the latter admitted his identity. Asked if he was armed, the student ‘surrendered his pistol, He said he was going to Roston to get in touch with his father, in order to have him help in his defense. Says He Was Overpowered. Meads told the sheriff that several students, among them Maroney, had gone to his rooms, overpowered him and stolen the quart bottle of whiskey, He fought them to recover his liquor, he said, and, in a quarrel, fired in what ho considered self-defense. Both Maroney and Meads were on- signs in the navy during the war, Maronoy in the transport service, and Meads as a flier at Pensacola, | Ma- roney was president of the Dartmouth Dramatic Society and was popular at college.

JUNE 19, 1920 Some people work too much and some others work too little. Hon. Woodrow Wilson is the most active sick man, we ever heard about. Worry never kills an Indian. Some people about here look like Indians. Hot weather and no liquor Chicago made a peculiar kind of ticket, but it is a good one. Some people believe in praying. They pray when the sun shines and they pray when it rains. Colored folks believe in fighting each other. That is why they find such little time to fight those, who are opposed to the best interests of the race. "If a man die, shall he live again?" puzzled the philosophers during Christ's time and there are people in this day and time asking the same question. Some people are said to have made so much money out of the war that they have not been able to find a way to spend it. If interests of some kind had not financed President Wilson's candidacy, he would never have been President. The American Federation of Labor has taken a long setp forward in its attitude towards its fellow-colored collaborer. The Democrats will have their innings next at San Francisco, California. If they nominate a winning ticket President Wilson should be President of these United States for the remainder of his life. Hon. William J. Bryan went in training at the Republican National Convention in order to be ready for his part of the performance at the Democratic National Convention. This is an age of hypocrisy. Some people are now professing to be able to run politics without money, while they themselves are using money in politics. Every office-holder smiles when you talk about an increase in pay. He frowns when you talk about an increase in work, even with an increase of pay. He wants less work and more pay, but not less pay and less work. The problem now before the country is how to have liquor in fact without having it in law and how to have beer in fact without having it in the statutes. A part of this problem has been worked out. Many families are making beer for home consumption, although the average cost per bottle will soar around 35 cents. It takes about three dollars to purchase now what one dollar would purchase before the war and there are some things that no amount of money will purchase, for the reason that the commodity to be purchased is not in the country. They have been busily engaged in shipping it to Europe. Hon. Charles W. Anderson of New York and Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson of Georgia seem to be the cedarge leaders in the limelight just now. Over yonder where the sun rises, we think we see the features of Hon. Charles A. Cottrell of Toledo Ohio. The nomination of Senator Warren G. Harding as the Republican candidate for President of the United States shows that the Republican National Convention was alive to the necessity of placing before the electorate a candidate that could command the united support of all First-Parking men. Senator Harding is a statesman of the old school. In his hands the rights of all men regardless of race or color, sect or creed are secure. His nomination under such auspices and conditions foreshadow his election to the highest gift at the hands of the American people. The hand-writing is on the wall. The Wilson dynasty can see the part of a man's hand writing the mystic decree, "Mene, Mene, Tekel Upharsin" which are weighed in the balance and art, found wanting. No action on the part of the Democratic National Convention can forestall the coming result. The next President of the United States will bear the name of Warren G. Harding of Ohio and the world will have peace. Viewed from a racial standpoint God was working for the colored folks, when Senator Warren G. Harding of Ohio and Governor Calvin Coolidge of Massachusetts were nominated as the standard-bearers of the Republican Party in the coming presidential campaign. "Jim Crowism" received its death-blow for both of these able statesmen have the courage of their convictions and will accord to the American citizen of color all of his rights and privileges under the law, if their past records in this respect are to be taken as a criterion. This nomination indicates too at the recognition of Hon. Charles A. Cottrell of Toledo, Ohio and Hon. William H. Lewis of Massachusetts will necessarily with reference to matters affecting colored folks, white Hon. H. C. Smith, editor of the Cleveland Gazette will be a "mighty powerful "proposition" in the future conferences of the Republican Party. It seems that Editor Smith had a "long head" in this matter, championing the cause of Senator Harding from start to finish and using his "shillahly" unmercifully upon the head of his distinguished fellow Ghioan, Hon. Ralph W. Tyler, who had the tactical misfortune to flock to the standard of the brilliant Gen. Leonard Wood. But then, we are all Republicans and the desire to win may make us forget all of that. Harding and Coolridge is the ticket and nothing that may be done at San Francisco, in our judgment can beat it. The Republican National Committee showed rare judgment in continuing Hon. Will H. Hays as chairman of the Committee. He is peculiarly fitted for the task that is now before him. He is past master in the art of harmonizing and will specially bring all of the hitherto warring factions together. The image provided does not contain any text.

The action of the American Federation of Labor in session at Montreal Canada, June 10th, 1919 on the race question is a long step forward and chronicles the elimination of the detested color-line that has made organized labor the subject of mucen criticism and has done much to handicap it in its work. The great black industrial army must ever be a menace to white organized labor unless it is "harnessed" so to speak and made susceptible to the influences that control the airlines, of work throughout the civilized world. Certain it is that master minds are now in control of this great work ingman's organization. The interest of the white mechanics and black mechanics are identical. One cannot proceed along the road of material prosperity to the table land of industrial emancipation without the THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA other. It was and is to the interest of the capitalists to keep them separate and to keep out of the race war between them. In bringing under its influence every organization under the supervision and control of the American Federation of Labor all branches, vocations, and trades of this great organization, a master stroke has been planned and dissenting colored men will no longer have any excuse for declining this great organization if the leaders mean all that they say and will enforce all of the resolutions that they have enacted. We presume that colored men will continue to maintain their own or organizations separate under their own local officers, but will not be barred from membership in any of the local branches where the white members choose to receive them and vice versa. If this plan is followed, it will be happy solution of a most exotic problem. But to show the far reaching extent of this innovation, it may be well to cite some portions of the report as sent through out the country from Montreal. It says: "Montreal, Quebec, June 10. — The American Federation of Labor today wiped out the 'color line' and warned its militated international unions that Negro workers must receive full and equal membership with white men. The federation's action came at the end of a stormy session, which nearly resulted in a 'race war' between delegates from the Southern States and the Negroes and their sympathizers. "Rejecting the recommendation of its organization committee, the federation for the first time in history threatened the autonomy of an affiliated union by requesting the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks to give the Negro freight handlers, express and station employees full membership and eliminate from its constitution the words 'white only.'" We knew that it was coming, but we did not believe that it would come so soon. They had to go to Canada to bring about this result. And again: "The committee's report of 'non-concurrence' on the ground that the federation had no power to interfere with the constitution of an affiliated union immediately drew the fire of the Negro delegates and those of several Northern States, chiefly Illinois and New York. There was a voluminous exchange of oratory in which the Negroes charged 'taxation with' out representation' and 'discrimination', to which their opponents replied with accusations and betrayal by Negro workers of the whites in past labor disputes. "Representatives of the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks declared they were taking care of the Negro question and giving just attentio to Negro grievances. They asked the convention to leave the matter in their hands for definite disposition. Several motions were made on the floor to demand that the railway clerks abolish the 'color line' in its constitution or forfeit their charter in the federation. One of these was later modified to 'request' the brotherhood to give the Negro full membership. It was accepted by an overwhelming majority. "This, I believe, will settle the Negro problem in our organization for all time," said Chairman Duncan following the adoption of the motion. "Our affiliated unions must now understand that the color line is abolished." It will be noted that the committee was over-ruled in its report and the body itself took the matter in hand and accorded to the "brother in black" equal and exact justice. Will the leaders, the officers of this great organization enforce the decision of the majority of the members of this Federation: We shall see. Certain it is, that the colored man is coming unto his own and the waves of race prejudice are receding. The American citizen has been waiting a long time for justice and it seems to us that we see the dawn of a brighter and a better day. DO YOU KNOW THEM?

OUSTED DELEGATES MAY CARRY CONTEST TO FLOOR. Appeals to Credentials Committee Already Taken by 137 Unsecated Representatives. FORCES ORGANIZE TO FIGHT Chairman Hays, Defending Committee Action, Says That in Contested Cases Findings Were Based on Merit of Questions. Chicago, June 6.—Campaign managers today prepared to renew before the convention credentials committee their contests over delegates decided by Republican National Committee. Some of the contests may be carried to the convention floor. There are possibilities that virtually all of the 137 contests will be appointed to the credentials committee to be appointed next Tuesday with prospects of all night sessions on hearings to prepare a report to the convention Wednesday. The sweep of the Lowden forces in the national committee's decision, it believed, will furnish the principal work for the credential committee. It also faces decisions in red hot organization fights from several States as well as the race question presented from several others. The records and briefs in the national committee's hands are now being combed through carefully by the op position camps in preparation for the battle before the credentials committee. LINE-UP OF SEATED DELEGATES Although most of the contested delegates seated by the national committee are uninstructed, its awards according to reported preferences for low: Alabama—Lowden 1; Arkansas—Lowden 7; District of Columbia—Wood 2; Florida—Wood 6; Johnson 2; Georgia—Wood 4; Lowden 11; Louisiana—Lowden 12; Minnesota—Johnson 2; Mississippi—Lowden 12; Missouri—Wood 2; North Carolina—Pritchard, 17; Oklahoma—Wood 2; Lowden 4; South Carolina—Lowden 11; Tennessee—Wood 1; Lowden 1; Texas—unpledged and scattering, 28; Virginia—Wood 1; Lowden 6; Unpledged and scattering, 8. Total—Wood, 18; Lowden 65; Johnson 4; Pritchard 17; unpledged and scattering 31. HAYS DEPENDS COMMIT TEE ACTION Chairman Hays today gave out a statement declaring it "significant that all contests involving large numbers were disposed of by unanimous and viva voce action." Half of the contests had been decided. Mr. Hays pointed out "by unanimous action and the third day's session was far advanced before there was even a roll call. As I recall there were only four roll calls on contests during the week. The diversity of the vote cast which was 20 to 12 in the Teenth Minnesota; 8 to 23 in the Fourth Georgia; 16 to 29 in the Fourth Oklahoma and 20 to 27 in the Missouri district in which to delegations were denied seats indicated that the vote in each case was on the merits of the contest or matter as presented to the committee." LYNCHBURG NOTES Mrs. Gertrude Hatcher and daughter who has been the guests of Rev. and Mrs. Blake of Lynchburg A. M. E. Church leaves for Roanoko today. Mrs. Henry Miles of Farmville with her two sons, was accompanied by Miss Blanch Miles her sister-in-law from the High School at Petersburg, Va., visited Lynchburg last Sunday. The Rev. J. R.

Rome, June 6.—The ceremony of beatification of twenty-two Negroes who died martyrs for the faith in Uranda under King Mwanga, was celebrated today with great pomp in the bascilla of St. Peter's. Cardinals bishops and other richly gowned of flicks with missionary priests, worm by their labors in torrid climates, passed up the center of St. Peter's to receive the announcement of beatification from Pope Benedict. During the afternoon the Pontiff descended to St. Peter's accompanied by the cardinals to penetrate the pictures and relics of these humble saints.

They asked the convention to leave the matter in their hands for definite disposition. Several motions were made on the floor to demand that the railway clerks abolish the 'color line' in its constitution or forfeit their charter in the federation. One of these was later modified to 'request' the brotherhood to give the Negro full membership. It was accepted by an overwhelming majority. "This, I believe, will settle the Negro problem in our organization for all time," said Chairman Duncan following the adoption of the motion. "Our affiliated unions must now understand that the color line is abolished." It will be noted that the committee was over-ruled in its report and the body itself took the matter in hand and accorded to the "brother in black" equal and exact justice. Will the leaders, the officers of this great organization enforce the decision of the majority of the members of this Federation: We shall see. Certain it is, that the colored man is coming unto his own and the waves of race prejudice are receding. The American citizen has been waiting a long time for justice and it seems to us that we see the dawn of a brighter and a better day. DO YOU KNOW THEM?

Appeals to Credentials Committee Already Taken by 137 Unsecated Representatives. FORCES ORGANIZE TO FIGHT Cairman Hays, Defending Committee Action, Says That in Contested Cases Findings Were Based on Merit of Questions. Ocisco, June 6. Campaign managers today prepared to renew be before the convention credentials committee their contests over delegates decided by Republican National Committee. Some of the contests may be carried to the convention floor. There are possibilities that virtually all of the 137 contests will be appointed to the credentials committee to be appointed next Tuesday with prospects of all eight sessions on hearings to prepare a report to the convention Wednesday. The sweep of the Lowden forces in the national committee's decision, it believed, will furnish the principal work for the credential committee. It also faces decisions in redbot organization fights from several States as well as the race question presented from several others. The records and briefs in the national committee's hands are now being compiled through carefully by the opposition camps in preparation for the battle before the credentials committee. LINE-UP OF SEATED DELEGATES Although most of the contested delegates seared by the national committee are uninstructed, its awards according to reported preferences for low: Alabama—Lowden 1; Arkansas—Lowden 7; District of Columbia—Wood 2; Florida Wood 6; Johnson 2; Georgia Wood 4; Johnson 11; Louisiana—Lowden 12; Minnesota—Johnson 2; Mississippi—Lowden 12; Missouri—Wood 2; North Carolina—Pritchard 17; Oklahoma—Wood 2; Lowden 4; South Carolina—Lowden 11; Tennessee—Wood 1; Lowden 1; Texas—unpledged and scattering, 23 Virginia—Wood 1; Lowden 6; Unpledged and scattering, 8. Totals—Wood, 18; Lowden 65; Johnson 4; Pritchard 17; unpledged and scattering 11. HAYS DEFENDS COMMIT- TEE ACTION Chairman Hays today gave out a statement declaring it "significant that all contests involving large numbers were disposed of by unanimous and viva voce action." Half of the contests had been decided. Mr. Hays pointed out "by unanimous action and the third day's session was far advanced before there was even a roll call. As I recall there were only four roll calls on contests during the week. The diversity of the vote cast which was 36 to 12 in the Teenth Minnesota; 8 to 24 in the Fourth Georgia; 16 to 29 in the Fourth Oklahoma and 20 to 27 in the Missouri district in which 10 delegations were denied seats indicated that the vote in each case was on the merits of the contest or matter as presented to the committee." --- LYNCHBURG NOTES Mrs. Gertrude Hatcher and daughter who has been the guests of Rev. and Mrs. Blake of Lynchburg A.

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 brotherhood over the great success. But we are coming now in turn with out stretched hands, asking for your service for the same good cause. To this end we beseech the brethren 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 brethren, but to supplement the princely sum already gathered by them for a cause greatly in need of reinforcement in 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. Tyrrell, Box 399, Pocahontas, 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. 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 Twelfth Street, Lynchburg, Virginia. M. Will Extradite Communist Bandit.

JUNE 19, 1920 FIRST DAY SAW WOOD AND LOW- DEN, NECK AND NECK. General and Governor Gain on Each of Convention's Four Ballots. SENATOR JOHNSON, THURD, FAILS TO HOLD HIS VOTE North Carolina Refuses to Abide by Instructions and Californian Suffers. Coliseum, Chicago, June 11.—The first day of tabling in the Republi can convention resulted in four ballots being taken without result. Leonard Wood lot on all tour balots and steadily increased his vote on each successive roll call. Governor Lowden was second on all balots and fifteen Johnson third. Lowden climbed from 211 1-2 on the first ballot to 289 on the fourth, a gain of 77 1-2 votes. Wood's highest vote was 314 1-2 on the fourth ballot. Johnson started out with 133 1-2 votes, jumped to 146 on the second to 148 on the third, but fell back to 140 1-2 on the fourth. JOHNSON DELEGATES DESERT This loss in Johnson's vote was due to the breaking down of the Oregon and North Carolina delegations both of which had been supposed to be bound by the primaries in their States to support him. All of the other candidates ran far behind. Harding steadily dropped on each successive roll call until he registered only 61 1-2 on the fourth Ballot. Butler, of New York started out with SS votes of N. Y. but on the Fourth place he had dropped to 20. 1 Spiral failed to make any showing that would indicate the probability of his becoming a formidable contender in the race. Starting out with the full vote of the Pennsylvania delegation of 76 and scattered votes from Kentucky, Texas and several other states he stood at 79 1-2 at the conclusion of the fourth ballot. Pointexer and Coolidge showed similar weakness. One of Idaho's delegation voted on all ballots for Senator Borah and Senator Knox got one vote in Pennsylvania and one in Texas. LOOKS LIKE A DEADLOCK Analyzing the day's balloting it was apparent to the leaders that Wood and Lowden were running about neck and neck, neither appearing to be able to draw any votes from the other. Some declare that the elimination of both Wood and Lowden is sure to come as a result of the failure of either to break into the other's strong hold and increase his lead. The increase received by Wood and Lowden are gains due to the dropping out of favorite son candidates. The Johnson managers profess to regard the situation as available from this point of view. They believe the next few hallots will develop the maximum strength of the Wood and Lowden forces and that thereafter the delegations pledged to these two candidates will begin to disintegrate to Johnson's benefit. It was after 7 o'clock when the convention adjourned immediately following the taking of the fourth ballot. The telegates had been in concious session since 9:30 in the morning almost ten solid hours of sitting without respite for luncheon. They are hoping that a few ballots tomorrow may wind the business up. COLISEUM SIZZLING HOT With all the preliminary business out of the way and the stage set for the nominating speeches and the first balloting on candidates, the convention met at 9:30. The sun came out blazing and hot, raising the temperature of the Coliseum to an almost insufferable degree. Delegates discarded their coats, and even those who were attired in seashore clothing felt uncomfortable. Every one was provided with a fan. After the prayer, J. Hampton Moore, Mayor of Philadelphia offered a resolution expressing the regret of the convention over the death of Theodore Roosevelt. It was adopted unanimously. When Chairman Lodge announced that the next business in order was the nomination of candidates, there was applause. Alabama, the first State, called, passed; Arizona, the next in order, yielded to Kansas to permit Governor Henry J. Allen of that State to place General Wood in nomination. ALLEN APPLAUDED Allen was not in the hall when his name was called and there was some delay while the convention waited for him. He was heartily cheered when he took his place to nominate Wood. Allen smoke easily and clearly and had no difficulty making his speech heard. He has a pleasing delivery though a slight lisp hindered to some extent his enunciation. He was frequently applauded. The public had been led to expect A REVELATION ! THE BOOK OF SEVEN SEALS by Lucinda Young, who in the year 1890 laid on her bed for twenty-four days and saw dreams and visions; was commanded by God to write the wonders she saw into a book. This book tells about the seven year famine that began in 1917 and will last for seven years and extends to the foreign lands. She saw also a series of diseases rage among the people and saw them starving and dying so fast that there were not enough living left to bury the dead, and this is already in the land. The book is sold at 60 cents and is on sale at Mrs. Davenport's, 710 N. First Street, also at Mr. O. R. Robinson's Wonderful Hair Grower and Restorer, 1103 W. Leigh Street, Richmond, Va.

It had even been hinted that it might, he of such a whirlwind character as to land him the nomination in the event the struggle among the other candidates brought about a deadlock. But it cannot be said that the kansun set the convention after. His speech was rather a perfunctory of fort. When he finally presented Wood's name the demonstration broke loose. From a crow's nest far up in the apex of the roof there were tossed out burchells of red and blue quills bearing Wood's name. The feathers drifted slowly down upon the heads of the delegates, while moving precise operators worked swiftly in the glare of the calcums. DIMONSTRATION FOR WOOD Delicates from Arizona, New Jersey, Indiana, Nevada, Ohio, New Hampshire and Minnesota led the demonstration, which was well staged. They stood on chairs, waved yelled and began a march around the hall. The people in the galleries gave a lot of help to the Wood enthusiasts on the floor. At the end of sixteen minutes, Chairman Lodge rapped for order. The noise continued, however, the delegates refusing to take their seats. So Lodge gave it up and resumed his seat on the platform. When the demonstration had run for twenty-eight minutes the crowd began to show signs of quilting. Then tin horns were brought into use and Wood boosters, mounting chairs waved flags to keep the noise going At the end of thirty-six minutes Lodge again rapped for order. He pounded the table vigorously with the piece of old Plymouth Rock used as a gavel. Cries of "Silence!" were heard throughout the hall. A few stragglers tried to keep up. Lodge declared he would have the galleries cleared if the demonstration not come to an end. He said if any member cared to make a motion to clear the galleries he would enter tain the motion. Cries of "No!" "No!" throughout the audience answered this proposal and the motion was not made. The people in the galleries remained aparently determined to do as they pleased not withstanding Lodge's injunction to cease noise. ROOSEVELT'S SLATER SECONDS The Wood demonstration lasted exactly forty minutes. Frank Knox of New Hampshire, and Mrs. Douglas Robinson sister of Colonel Roosevelt seconded the nomination. Mrs. Robinson said she wanted Wood, not, because he was Roosevelt's friend, but because he was Roosevelt's type. Her most striking phrase was that the presidency demands a man "who looks from America outward, not from Europe in." This brought a great round of applause. Speaking of President Wilson's tardiness in getting into the war, Mrs. Robinson said: "We want never again the man who takes the psychological moment; we want the man who makes the psychological moment."
