Editor of The Planet: My dear Sir, Please allow me space in your valuable and curious room, to publish the addendum I gave writing against the Bly white con- vent on hold in South Richmond on March 12th, 1929, also the ad- mittance of Mr. J. R. Pollard and Dr. D. A. Ferguson. All of these ad- mittances were given to Mr. Edgar Allan, Dr. and published in his brief which was taken to the Republican National Committee at Chicago. All of us (as I thought) were shooting at the mark (the Bly white or the Brandy Action). I have always been against the Bly white faction and am today. Under similar conditions in 1912 I went to Chicago with Mr. J. R. Pollard and Dr. Ferguson, protecting against this soft same thing (the Bly whites) as a cit- tion and a voter I felt it my duty to do, and every dollar of my trip and two weeks' stay in Chicago was paid out of my pocket. I am sure Dr. Ferguson and Mr. Pollard will substantize this statement. It is rumored that I gave the Tily-white faction an allidavit to take to Chicago. This rumor is so adjust and unfounded that I can only say it is absolutely false. If the nice, good gentleman who moulded this rumor, will present this allidavit to you at your office, I will give you one thousand dollars to hand him for his kindness. I am not a politician, nor am I in politics. I am in the real estate business at the same old stand to serve my friends and the public. Thanking, you, Mr. Editor, I am. Most respectfully yours, D. P. BRAGG. Miss Morris Leaves. Miss Ruth Morris, who is known throughout North and South Richmond by young old people by her kind and gentle disposition and who has won an enviable reputation as a songster of rare attainments left the city Thursday for Pittsburgh, Pa. to be the guest of her brother, Mr. Richard Morris. Many surprises were given in honor of her this week led by the office force of the Southern Aid Society, Mrs. Florence Harris and Mrs. Florine Mason. Many valuable presents were given her, among which was a handsome traveling bag, presented to her last Tuesday night. Miss Morris leaves midst the regrets of her many relatives and friends, but all wish her good luck and God's speed, hoping for her early return. SHRINERS TO DUTCH GAP.

Today recalls sad memories, Of a loved one gone to rest, And those who think of him today Ate those who love him best. Gone, gone, loved one, Gone to thy tomb; But 'tis not cheerless, Hope dispels its gloom. Gone, gone, loved one, Gone to the blest; Earth had its pleasures, But'twas not thy rest; Sin and temptation Were thy sorrow here, Then full salvation Is thy portion there. His loving mother. In sad but loving remembrance of my dear daughter Malinda C. Dabney who died eight years ago, June 17, 1912, In loving memory we often think Of one we loved so dear, The visions grow so clear sometimes I think she must be near. She lives in many a thought today, I miss her more and more. But some day we'll surely meet Upon the other shore. Out of my heart come a bitter cry, Why oh, why did my dear daughter die? Then comes the answer solemn and sweet— My daughter is not dead; but only asleep. The Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord. HER LOVING MOTHER.

The Democratic National Convention, which will assemble in San Francisco next week is nostling under the shadow of defeat. It must be an optimistic individual indeed, who would predict the election of the nominees of that Convention. Just how harmony can be brought about in an organization so completely divided in its attitude towards transgender questions now affecting the nation and the Party is the puzzling question confronting those members of the Party, who want to stand a chance to win. President Wilson's idea is to force a radical issue and upon this issue appeal to the country irrespective of parties or individuals. He would exclude Hon. William J. Bryan of Nebraska and Senator James A. Reed, of Missouri. The former is opposed to liquor and the latter is assailing in an uncompromising manner, The League of Nations as brought by the distinguished statesman in the White House from Versailles. Wilt President Woodrow Wilson be forced in the campaign as a candidate upon the direct issues that he has forced upon the Democratic Party and if he is not a candidate, where will a man of presidential size be found to lead the Wilsonian brigades to victory or defeat? The trouble in recent years has been that every President that has occupied the White House has injected his own personality as an issue rather than basic principles of party Government as toscin upon which to rally the people to a full realization of their fundamental duties. The present situation seems to be that President Wilson prefers defeat with his plans and policies inside of the party triumphant to success with any part of them modified or eliminated at the polls. WHITE FOLKS' SQUABBLES. The management of the Westminster Club of this city backed by a majority of the latter-day club management is now attempting the impossible task of having oil and water mix, of having two discordant and antagonistic elements combine in one organization, forgetful of the fact that the lack of harmony and team work will defeat the very purpose for which the union of the two clubs is to be communicated. It will also upset the calculations upon which the financial statistics were based and render useless the final totals upon which the successful appeal has been made to the majority of the electorate. In passing, it may be well to remark that the Westmoreland Club was founded for the "F. F. Vs." of Virginia, the "big fish," the financial solons and the brainy leaders in business. The Commonwealth Club, was founded for the "middleenders," the clerks, men of moderate means and for the masses. Social lines pro vailed in both organizations and mean mutually agreeable to each other, both social and otherwise figured largely in the campaign for member ship. But how can a union of the Westmoreland Club and the Commonwealth Club be brought about without a split in the former, even though the name, "Westmoreland Club" be retained? We shall watch with interest the result of the advancement indicating as it does the advancement of the "row day" ideas, the liberalizing of the electorate, the breaking down of social lines and the elevating of the common people to the plane of social equality with the best blood of Virginia and the recognition of dozens of the so called "poor-whites" to a position where they can exclaim in the language used by Senator William Mahone, in the Senate of the United States: "And if thou sayest, I am not poor to any lord in Scotland here; Lowland or highland, far or near, Lord Angus, thou hast lied." It looks to us that the additional membership, who have added to the financial advancement of Westmoreland Club have brought about its ungoing., causing it to stray far from the paths laid out by its founders. As a result men out of touch with these principles have been accepted into the membership and have under minded the purposes of the founders. We are living in a new day, where and when empires are crumbling and dynasties are being swept away. The same fate seems to have overtaken this great organization and in the language of a writer and historian, bewailing over the downfall of ancient Greece, we close with his lament, applied to this modern organization: "Twas Greece, but living Greece no more." A WORD ABOUT AFFIDAVITS. We have received a copy of the brief filed in the contested election case before the Republican National Committee by Mr. M. M. Stoddard, contesting delegate against Mr. Joseph Stewart, contestee. In this brief, we find that the white Republicans had "a high old time" among themselves. Mr. M. M. Stoddard and Lis associate Mr. Edgar Allan, Jr., were fighting the "illy-white." In this connection, it would be well to state that affidavits in support of this movement were furnished by Mr. D. P. Bragg, Dr. D. A. Ferguson and Attorney J. R. Pollard. As they were all uniting in assailing the "ily-whitees," we cannot conceive how the report was circulated to the detriment of Mr. D. P. Bragg that he had sent out to Chicago an aidvid against the delegates elected by the Colored Republican Party organized at the True Reformers' Hall. He has deemed it necessary to deny this charge, but fair-play should have prompted even his political enemies to condemn the aspersions cast upon his political integrity. There are some other interesting facts in this connection, which may be explained by the following correspondence: Richmond, Va., March 15, 1920. Major C. A. Sherry, Chief of Police, Richmond, Va. My dear Major—On Saturday night, I attended a Mass Meeting of the Republican Party of the City of Richmond, Va. Upon my arrival at the hall, I was appealed to by a colored attorney of this city to assist him in gaining admittance to the meeting. He and I approached the entrance together, and the officers in charge informed this attorney that owing to his color, he would not be permitted to enter the hall. As a Republican of Richmond and an American citizen, I respectfully request that you inform me upon whose authority such action was taken, and upon what was the authority based? I am with kind regards, Yours truly, EDGAR ALLAN, JR., Mr. Edgar Allan, Jr., Room 502 Va. Ry. and Power Bldg., City. My dear Mr. Allan—Replying to your favor of the 15th inst., relative to the meeting held in the Hustings Court, Part II. on Saturday night, March 13, 1920, I beg to state that the Police Officers who were there were sent at the request of the Committee, who had charge of the meeting and the action of the Police taken at this meeting was at the Committee's request. Yours very truly, C. A. SHERRY. Richmond, Va., March 27, 1920. Major C. A. Sherry, Chief of Police, Richmond, Va., My dear Major-On the 13th inst. I wrote you requesting "that you in form me upon whose authority" the police had acted in preventing American citizens from participating in a Republican Mass-Meeting hold on the 13th inst., for the purpose of electing delegates to the Republi- District convention for the Third Congressional District of Virginia. You will recall that before writ- ing you I talked with you and you stated that your action had been tak en as a result of a request made to you by Mr. Joseph Stewart. When I asked you to write me to that effect you stated that you would do so, but that I should write you a letter making the request, hence my letter of the 15th inst., above referred to In your reply to my communication you stated that the action of the police was taken at the request of the Committee in charge of the meeting. This is indefinite to me and I think I am entitled to know who constituted the committee who called THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA on you or wrote you regarding the matter. Very respectfully, EDGAR ALLAN, JR. This is very interesting reading to us. We are at a loss to understand why Mr. Allan did not take the matter up with Col. William M. Myers, who has charge of this Department, Major Slerry evidently considered that he had given out all the information necessary in the premises. He had named Joseph W. Stewart as his authority for his action in his talk with Mr. Allan and he had named the "Committee in charge of the meeting" as the party or parties under whose orders he was acting. Just how his Department could go any further than preserving order has been a mystery to us. In the absence of disorder, the officers had no legal right to prevent this man or that from entering the meeting. The sergeant at arms of the political convention was supposed to do that. Evidently, the officers were under the impression that they were attending a Democratic Primary, under the rules of which party they are excluded instead of being in attendance upon a Republican meeting where the restrictions relative to race or color are not recognized. The Committee in charge of the meeting as represented by Joseph W. Stewart had no legal authority to prevent colored citizens from participating in a Republican meeting and the police had no political or legal authority for doing the same thing. Mr. Allan as alternate and Mr. M. M. Stoddard as delegates were seated with half vote at Roanoke while the Republican National Committee at Chicago slammed the doors of that body in their faces, so to speak. They got more justice at Roanoke, where race prejudice holds sway than they got at Chicago, where "equality" of rights and privileges is supposed to be in evidence. This was brought about we believe by the bogus candidacy skillfully maneuvered by the 'Tilly-whites of仁仁 Henry W. Anderson, who was under the grooming hand of these Negro-haters from the Third Congressional District. They won there with a rebuke that has reverberated around this country and which for kids similar action in the future. Major C. A. Sherry may not be a graduate of an educational institution, but he has certainly learned many lessons and one is to stop talk bog when he is too closely questioned by a Republican politician. It is evident that the fight has just begun and that M. M. Stoddard, Edgar Allan, Jr., and their friends will be heard from again before this campagin is over. It is the part of good politics for colored men to join in with them in the contest until the black flag of race prejudice has been shot from the pole and, the ensign of political righteousness, which recognizes the equality of rights and privileges for all men has been hoisted in its place. Colored people in this city are urged to send their names in to this office or to the Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, Richmond, Va., if they have not been enumerated by the United States Census takers or by the police officers. It is vitally essential that all of us have our name on this roll in order that we may get credit for the increase in the colored population during the past ten years. Let every colored man and woman attend to this at once. If you know of any one who has not been listed telephone the fact to the Planet office, Randolph 7213. It will bring the result. Get your name on the roll colored folks, get your name on the roll. Be polite, colored folks, be polite to every body. It will pay you and benefit your children if you will teach them how to be polite. Some people take more pain in raising chickens than they do in raising children. The outlook for the Democratic National Convention is not good, but the outlook for the Republican National Convention was not good either. They are burning colored people at the stake in the Southland and shooting them to death in the North land. Still, President Wilson is engaged in the task o f civilizing the people of Europe, while those in this country are still practicing savagery.

Herald, was sick at one session and was reelected at the next, has been a grand officer 23 years. The Grand Court delegation was one of the largest and most enthusiastic in its history. The ladies were intelligent, distilled and attentive, many being new to the Order and were anxious to learn and carry back good reports to their several Courts and sections. PROSPEROUS REPORTS. The Roll of Courts showed general improvement in membership and financial conditions even though much sickness and many deaths were enumerated by them. The membership rally had been such an inspiration and imbecile that none seemed to have allowed themselves to feel depressed but seemed with one accord to say, "Look onward, upward, never fear!" The new laws of last year had been of material benefit to the Order. The Relief Fund Department is now about to be launched and the Grand Worthy Counsellor called the Endowment Board to meet in Richmond soon for that purpose. REPORT OF THE G. W. C. The report of the G., W., G., as usual was a complete review of all departments of the Order, and all rulings during the year, and was highly instructive and greatly enjoyed by the delegation. He was reelected unanimously by acclamation as he has been for 24 years of his faithful, loyal service to Virginia. Undivided loyalty, peace and harmony has indelibly marked the proceedings of every Grand Session in Virginia. M. H.

Mr. Pete Johnson, of the Old North Stato, and one’ of the most widely known sport- ing men in the United States, known known from coast to coast, as a race horse man and well versed in all lines of sport, was at the game driving his new pacer. and had his buggy. all decorated in the colors of the Blites, and his horse and harness all but covered with dark blue and orange. Oh, yes, of course this was before the game, and was there with bells on, rooting for the Blites and all because his friend “Pork Chop” Kates had told him that, “Our chub is bound to win" and he’ believed him, but when things went the other way Mr. Johnson got out of his buggy and for once was seen riding q street car and had sent his horse in by his friend, and when he left the car, he took a back street to come home, for he knew what the buneh would do for him and his beautifully decorated horse and buggy, so. the Blites can boast of one thing, even if they did lose: they can say, we made a North Carolina man dodge his friends and take water like a frog, when he iumps off a rock in the creek when it begins to rain. “AM's well that ends well.” ‘The kame was for the benefit of the Roan- oke Brass Band and they wore de- lighted not only at the game but the showing at the gate. ‘The band was there in their bright new uniforms, and under the leadership of Prot. 1.

COLORED OFFICER WOUNDED Policeman and Others Attempt to Halt Desecration—Emblem Stamped and Fired Upon. Chicago, June 20.—Two white men were killed and several Negroes, in including a Negro policeman, were wounded tonight in a riot in the heart of the South Side "black belt" following the reported burning of an American flag by a band of Negroes who were said to have paraded in the interests of a "back to Africa" movement. The dead are: R. L. Rose, white, a sailor. Joseph Hoyt, white cigar dealer. Rose was shot through the heart dying instantly. SPLIT BY DUM-DUM BULLET Hoyt's head was split across the brow, leading the police at first to believe he had been killed by a blow from an ax. Later investigation, however, brought the conclusion that his skull had been split by a dum dum bullet. The trouble occurred at Thirty-fifth street and Indiana avenue, near the scene of the last year's race riot in which more than 30 white and blacks were killed and hundreds in jured. Several hundred policemen were rushed to the district and succeed in restoring order before the disturbance spread. More than 1,000 Negroes gathered but no general riot occurred. ASK AID TO HALT BURNING. Several Negroes who witnessed the flag-burning run to a pool room at Thirty-sixth street and Indiana ave nue and asked aid of persons in the place in preventing the act. Rose, who was in the pool room and a number of Negroes, proceeded toward the gathering of blacks. They were joined by Policeman Owens, col ored, who attempted to arrest one of the group. Owens started to search the man for a weapon when other Negroes in the crowd were reported to have drawn pistols. STAMPED AND FIRED UPON. It was not known who fired the first shot. Owens was wounded in the back and Rose, who had just left Hoyt's cigar shop after enlisting the latter's aid was shot through the heart. According to the statement of spectators, the parading Negroes dis banded and gathered in a circle around an American flag, which they set on fire. After it had burned a little the y-tumped on it and then several drew revolvers and began firing at it. The sounds of the shots attracted many Negroes who were not in the parade and they rushed into nearby pool rooms and cigar stores for assistance, according to statements made to the police. Police declared tonight that they probably never would know the exact number wounded. Several were carried off by friends, it was said, for the parading Negroes disappeared rapidly after the first few shots. Estimates ranged from one to a dozen. BIRMINGHAM SCENE OF RACE DISORDER. Trouble Started When Negro Brushed Against White Woman. Birmingham, Ala., June 21.—White County Solicitor Tate was trying to obtain evidence against instigators of race trouble in the downtown section Saturday night, Ethan Harden Negro, was in a critical condition at the county hospital with a bullet wound through the body and A. W. Smith, white, was in a hospital suffering from a stab wound in the breasts. Several others were slightly injured during the disturbance, which justed from early evening until midnight. The trouble started when Harden brushed against a white woman on a crowded business street. The woman's escort reprimanded the Negro who then drew a knife and backed against a showcase in front of a department store. The crowd closed in upon Harden who was slushing right and left with his weapon on. The Negro was knocked down but not before he had wounded Smith. Police rushed to the scene and as Harden was taken into custody some one shot him through the body. The crowd followed the prisoner to the city jail, but policemen with rifles and streams of water from fire hose prevented further trouble. Harden was spirited to the county jail and later taken to the hospital, where he underwent an operation. The crowd later visited several hotels demanding that all Negro "hell-hops" be discharged. William H Alexander, a lawyer, was arrest ed yesterday on charges of inciting the crowd to violence. Pierce Fleming, another white man was also arrested on a similar charge and J. Andrews. Negro was failed on a charge of carrying concealed weapons. MAN CHARGED WITH DEATH OF WHITE GIRL, IS CAPTURED. Savannah, Ga., June 21.—Phillip Gathers, the Effingham county Negro, who has been traced by a posse for a week for the murder of Miss Anza Jandon, was captured this morn ing at Stilson a small place in Bulbock county. He called at a Negro's house this morning and asked for breakfast, saying he was being sought as the slayer of the girl. He denied killing her. The Negro gave him breakfast and notified the authorities. Gathers was arrested shortly afterwards and placed in an automobile to be taken to Rincon, where the girl's mother lives. He was unharmed when placed under arrest although several shots were fired at him. WHITE MAN ARRESTED AS AN AGGITATOR OF NEGROES. Alleged Organizer of Absyssintan Cult Apprehended by Chicago Police Officers. RIOT UNDER INVESTIGATION Reputable Colored Societies of City Disclaims All Responsibility Denouncing Affair as Outcome of Radical Propaganda. Chicago, June 21.—With R. D. Jonas, said by the police to be the white leader of an organization acciting the return of Negroes to Abyssinia; Edward Redding and seven Negroes under arrest in connection with a riot last night in the black belt, that resulted in the killing of two white men and the wounding of several Negroes, police and Federal officers began an investigation of the "Star Order of Ethiopia," whose members were reported to have participated in the affair. The police were still searching for Joseph Fernon, who is said to be himself the "Great Abyssinian," and his son. According to reports they garbed in fantastic raiment, also were leaders of the parade. Jonas said that he had warned Federal officers last week of the pro prosed parade of the cult, and that they should be on the watch for trouble but declared that no attention had been paid to his statement. DISCOVER "EGYPTIAN SECRETS" Packages of pamphlets explaining "Egyptian secrets" were taken from Pedding. He had concealed them under his clothing. They were held as evidence of his alleged activities among Negroes in spreading the cutt. The inquest into the deaths of Charles Hoyt, a cigar store clerk and Robert L. Rose a sailor victim of the riot, was postponed until June 26 at the request of the police. While the police were quizzing the alleged leaders of the Abyssinian cult, Edward J. Brennan, chief investigator for the Department of Justice started an inquiry on behalf of the government. #resolutions denouncing Jonas as a white leader responsible for creating unrest among the Negro population were passed today by several Negro organizations. That the unrest was not caused by a racial feeling, but was the result of radical propaganda, and that reputable Nozes had no part in the movement. BLACK STAR LINE DE- NOUNCES REDDING State's Attorney Hoyne today received the following telegram from New York signed "Black Star Line Inc., Marcus Gorvey President: "From newspaper reports it is ap parent that one Grover C. Redding is operating in Chicago under the gaise of an Abyssinian and a representative of the colored people. He has often used the name of the Black Star Line Corporation in re presenting himself to the people. This man has been operating all over the United States, and is a fraud. We have had cause to denounce him in many cities, recently in Boston." JONAS CLAIMS NORFOLK AS HOME. New York, June 21.—R. D. Jonas, sought by the Chicago police in connection with riots there yesterday, in which two persons were killed, for leaving the burning of an American flag, is known here as "Rev. P. D. Jonas, D. D., secretary of the League of Darker People." He appeared in the interests of the Black Star Line owners of the steamer Yarmouth, whose $5,000,000 cargo of liquor was seized by Federal agents here after the vessel had returned to port for lowing departure for Cuba a few hours before the prohibition law went into effect. Jonas who claimed to have come from Norfolk, Va., charged that the Negro owners of the Yarmouth had been the victims of a plot to steal the liquor which had culminated in its seizure. The vessel was finally permitted to leave for Havana on February 12 last. Leo H. Healy, counsel for the Black Star company said today that Jonas had no connection with the concern. He declared the company was financed by Negroes, and that alleged statements by Jonas to the effect that "Friends of Irish Freedom had aided the line were absolutely untrue." The statement that our steamers would ultimately carry arms to Africa is ridiculous. he added. Announcement. Mrs. Eliza O. Waller wishes to announce to her friends that she is now with E. C.
