Local Jury Finds George Carr No Guilty Tried For The Killing of Simon Wise, Texas Scamman. Aquittal of George Carr colored, charged with the killing of Simon Wise Lewis, a Texas seaman several weeks into at the seamen's home in West avenue was announced last night by the jury following a trial which lasted through the day after deliberation of only five minutes. Defended by J. Thomas Newsome, a colored attorney of this city, Carr pleaded not guilty in the defense of his home from the attack of a gang of Mexicans who had become invaded in an altercation with George Grover, another colored man living in the same house with Carr, to which he fled for protection when bricks were brought into play. Carr told the jury he shot from his home into the gang who were attacking the house in an effort to injure Grover who had run into the place, and on the base of this that the colored man was protecting; his hme the jury freed him of the charge of murder. The shooting, took place several weeks ago and the victim was struck as he was walking across the street it being alleged that Carr fired at another man who was about to throw a brick at him. Lewis was brought to the emergency hospital at the police station where he died while on the operating table. His father communicated with the common wealth's attorney stating that the youth had never been in any trouble while letters from home were found on the young man's person showing that he was well thought of at home. Witnesses declared that George Graver started the trouble when he flattened a triple sailor which precipitated the fight. Graver ran into Carr's home it is said and picked up an axe. At that moment Carr appeared on the scene, and took the axe away from Graver although the crowd of Mexicans and other seamen were storming the house of the accused man, according to the test mony. Carr then secured a pistol according to the evidence, and fired in to the crowd over their heads, he told the jury. Lewis was struck as he was crossing the street in an effort to escape the row. Factors of the trial were the free quita, verbal clashes between the attorney, the morning session being devoted to the testimony of several Mexican witnesses, who were held by the police pending the hearing, as well as the testimony of the man alleged to have started the trouble, the accused man and his wife. All of the witnesses told the same story—that Grover got into a quarrel with the sailors and ran into Carr's house; that Grover got an axe that bricks were thrown at the house and that Carr emerged from the place and shot. In the morning session the state found considerable trouble in finding a witness who knew just how the trouble started. One witness testified that he threw a brick at Grover and that he came back with an axe. In the afternoon the commonwealth proceeded a witness who stated that Grover had imitated a cripple seaman. SCOTCH LAD TESTIFIES The one bit of real drama came with the testimony of Danny Boyle a 14 year old had just four weeks from Scotland. "I was working for the White Oak coal company in the Hogsheild building across the street from the fight. I heard dogs barking and men yelling. I looked out the window and saw a colored man with an axe. White men were throwing bricks," the boy testified. "Then another colored man came to the door with a gun. He shot. And—and, the man fell—" The boy was crying by this time. As he remembrd the scene, his shoulders rose and fell with sobs. A ripple of amusement went over the court room. Captain Berkley hearing the laughter got to his feet. "Your honor. I see nothing funny in this. This boy comes from a county where they aren't used to seeing men shot down in cold blood. There seem to be people in this court room who smile at a little thing like killing an innocent man." he said. Lawyer Newsome rose to his feet All this time the boy was crying. "May it please the court, I see no justification for those remarks. I don't see that Captain Berkeley has any right to sap people of this country—" "I didn't say the people of this country, I said some people in this court room." Judge T. J. Barham then interrupted the attorneys verbal affray. "It has seemed to me from time to time that people come here to be amused. That is not what this court is for. We'll have order." And, indeed, from that time on, there was order. The boy stood aside. Court adjourned at 5:30 o'clock and resumed the case at 7. when lawyers made ready for the argument in the trial. Contending that Carr was in the street when he fired, Commonwealth's attorney disregarded the plea of the defense that the accused man was protecting his home, delaring that the evidence indicated there was no attack on the man's house. "That was an unjustified shot wherein to life of another man was taken declared Captain Berkeley. NECRC LAWYER DEPENDS CARR Lawyer Newsome, defending Carr declared to the jury that the seamen had no cause for their attack on the home of Carr and that he was justified in shooting to protect it. On this idea he based his argument and the jury concerning held enufw ybwg court based its instructions to the jury concerning which there was con sibleable argument before the case jury concerning which there was con sibleable argument and clauses be tween the attorneys before the case was taken up by the lawyers. The colored attorney mixed con sibleable oratory in his address to the jury declaring that Carr's home was his castle by the old Angle Sax on interpretation which still prevails in the modern code of legal right, and that a citizen can defend it against the President, much less a "gang of things and cuthroats" as Newsome termed the Mexican seamen. Referring to the Negro race New some declared that its line of safety lies in the appeal to right and justice and not to riot and ruin. The jury returned its verdict without deliber ating. ```markdown ``` SPECIAL Richmond, Va., Oct. 6—The Virginia Officers Association composing commissioned World War, Spain American and Malta Officers will meet in Norfolk on Thanksgiving Day, November 25th.

The trend of thought of the colored population seems to be directed along the line of political endeavor. Much speculation is rife concerning the best methods of utilizing the more than 5,000 votes to the best advantage for our more than 60,000 black folk here. Some opposition favors a movement to discredit the 'Ily white' Repubicans here by showing the strength of the colored Republican vote by using colored candidates on the ticket. Others favor utilizing the ballot in local elections to benefit the civic conditions here by voting only for those candidates who will pledge to work for better conditions among the colored districts. Colored Republicans have filed J. R. Pollard as a candidate for the United States Senate and H. H. Price for Congress. How to use the vote for local applications is now worrying the brains of Richmond colored students of applied political science. NEW CHURCHES Rhymond is destined to have some fine new churches in the next few years. Fifth Street Baptist Church is already pledged to build a fine structure and plans for a building fund are in operation. Sixth Mount Zion Baptist Church has decided to erect a beautiful structure at Saint John and Duval Streets. The picture of this proposed magnificent edifice is now on exhibition. The Mr. Olivet Baptist is ahead of them all, the roof having been placed on its new structure at 25th and S.

I dreamed a dream the other night Which filmed my mind with awuut tright, And after it I could not sleep It seemed a watch I need must keep I dreamed my friend had gone away To stay forever and a day, And, oh my heart seemed sad and sore, As I bade God speed from the shore She went into a foreign land To sojourn on a mystic strand Cer rugged seas and deserts drear; A message of God's love to bear To perish benighted souls Who never reach life highest goals: Who never lift their eyes above. And know not of a father's love But then how will they e'er believe Unless from others they receive The words which are of words most blest, Which kindle joy within the bask But my dear friend had perfect faith And did not fear the stalking wretch Of fewers, plagues and direct care: Since God, her God, was everywhere She knew that life is lord of death And that we draw, not one short breath. Without our heavenly Father's will Who lives and rules all nations still And yet I know her faith is right; For I have seen its potent might; And know when earth's joys fade away; It then shall gain eternal day. But then I always loved her so; And twins so hard to see her go; And though I bade good by can- smiled. I could not then be reconciled. And strange the dream is somewhat true. It's very realistic too; For are a few short months pass by My friend and I must say goodbye. But hush complaining heart of mine To God's will mine I will resign; Lut dear Lord, bless her day by day And keep her on her pilgrim way. And on her let thy dear face sine; And let her rest her hand in thine; Thy bountous mercies never cease. And grant her everlasting peace. E. LOUISE JACKSON KNIGHTS OF KU KLUX KLAN WILL MEET.

How to use the vote for local applications is now worrying the brains of Richmond colored students of applied political science. NEW CHURCHES Richmond is destined to have some fine new churches in the next few years.

Marshall Payne, the splendid builder and pastor of the Mt. Vernon Baptist church of Richmond has returned from his six weeks vacation in Boston, Mas. The Mt. Vernon Church and congregation are probably the most proficient church and congregation in this city, when their splendid works and their numbers are taken into consideration. Though a new and smaller congregation, they pay their pastor one hundred and fifty dollars per month, the same amount that the great Ehenezer or the great First Baptist church pay theirs. When Doctor Payne went away his church gave him $200.00 extra, a $65.00 summer suit of clothing, a $12.00 pair of shoes, and six weeks rest in Boston. The Rev. Payne seems much refreshed as he returns to resume his work. PRICE, FIVE CENTS PARTING I dreamed a dream the other night. Which filled my mind with awtur I dreamed a dream the other night. trigar, And after it I could not sleep It seemed a watch I need must keep. I dreamed my friend had gone away, To stay forever and a day, And, oh my heart seemed sad and sore, As I bade God speed from the shore. She went into a foreign land To sojourn on a mystic strand, O'er rugged seas and deserts drear; A message of God's love to bear. To perishing benighted souls Who never reach life highest goals; Who never lift their eyes above. And know not of a father's love. But then how will they e'er bleve. Unless from others they receive. The words which are of words most bleast. Which kindle joy within the breast. But my dear friend had perfect faith And did not fear the stalking wrath Of fevers, plagues and direst care; Since God, her God, was everywhere. She knew that life is lord of death And that we draw not one short breath. Without our heavenly Father's will, Who lives and rules all nations still. And yet I know her faith is right; For I have seen its potent might. And know when earth's joys fade away; It then shall gain eternal day. But then I always loved her so, And 'twas so hard to see her go; And though I bade good by cand smiled I could not then be reconciled. And strange the dream is somewhat true. It's very realistic too; For see a few short months pass-by. My friend and I must say good-bye. But hush complaining heart of mine, To God's will mine I will resign; Dut dear Lord, bless her day by day And keep her on her pilgrim way. And on her let thy dear face shine, And let her rest her hand in thine; Thy bounthe mercies never cease. And grant her everlasting peace. E. LOUISE JACKSON. KNIGHTS OF KU KLUX KLAN WILL MEET.

Blackstone, Va., October 5.—The Annual Thanksgiving services of the Royal Knights of King David were held at Shiloh Baptist Church last Sunday. A large gathering was present, $rev. Albert Jones, of Lunenburg County, delivered the Thanksgiving permission. $/av. Jones is said to be the pastor of the oldest church in his county, and thus it was considered to be quite an honor for the order to have him deliver this sermon and also to have him in their midst as a co worker and brother. He chose for a text 1st Samuel, 22nd chapter and 2nd verse which reads as follows: "And every one that was in distress and every one that was in doubt, and every one that was discontented gathered themselves into him; and he became a captain over them; and there were with him about four hundred men." In this text Samuel is speaking about David. Rev. Jones told his hearers that although the Supreme Master of the Royal Knights had on his printed programme that the order had only been founded 35 years, those four hundred men who were with David at this time were the beginners of this grand old order. Rev. Creed Greenhill was master of ceremonies. After this sermon a most fervent prayer was rendered by Mr. Lee Ampy. The entire services were good and very impressive.

THE CO-OPERATIVE LEAGUE OF AMERICA, 612, Mutual Building. NAVY BARS NEWS FROM HATIAN REPUBLIC. Accuser Attacks American Government's Method of Investigating Complaints of Misrule. INTIMATES A WHITEWASH. Marine Officer and Admiral Sent to Report on Charges Against Marines and Naval Department. James Walden Johnson, Acting Secretary of the National Association for Eight Advancement of Colored People which sent him to Haiti to make an investigation and whose charges against the American occupation in the black republic have brought about an investigation by the United States Navy Department yesterday in a statement challenged the methods which he asserted the Government had employed in Haiti. If the Navy Department will inform the American people whether a strict censorship still prevails on news from Haiti, said Mr. Johnson, "we shall better be able to estimate the reports of General Lejeune and Admiral Knapp when they are made. So far as I know no opening of the clos e door on news from Haiti has yet taken place. "Meanwhile the Administration sends to make a report to the Ameri can people on the conduct of Marines in Haiti, the commandant of these Marines, General Lejeune and an Admiral of the Navy Department which stands accused of making Haiti un safe for democracy. It looks suspiciously like an attempt at an official whitewashing before Congress assmsbles. The statement that Admiral Knapp was sent to Haiti more as a representative of the State Chain of the Navy Department is obviously an attempt to gloss over the facts. "It should be borne in mind that there has yet been no official denial of the charges made against the Administration by Herbert W. Seligman who was in Haiti at the time I was and by myself, both Mr. Seligman and my self writing in the Nation. Although a number of newspapers demanded explanations from the Navy Department no word was published in denial or exclamation until Senator Harding reiterated them. The Secretary of the Navy is reported to have characterized as 'unjust' the statement that thousands of natives in Haiti have been slaughtered. Will he dare say it is untrue? Or will he rather attempt to characterize the people who were shot down as bandits—men who were defending their country against armed invasion? There has been ample time since the charges were originally made against the Administration's and the National City Bank's invasion of Haiti for some word about those charges to come from Haiti. So far as I know no newspaper in this country has published any news or any communication from Haiti. We do not need an investigation by officers subject to the present Administration so much as we need direct and open communication, openly arrived at, between the Haitian people and the American people, "when it will appear who were the bandits in Haiti." Officials of the National City Bank yesterday declined to discuss in any way the alleged controversy between that institution and the Government of the Republic of Haiti. Roger L. Fernham, vice president of the bank, reported to be in charge of the affairs in Haiti, is out of town on vacation. It was said, and John H. Futon, Gen THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA eral Executive Manager sent word to newspaper men that he had "nothing to say." A GREAT PREACHER AND SINGER FORTUNES BEING MA LANDS YOU CAN OWN (By R. C. McCado.) (H. R. C. McCabe) Houston, Vn., This village, (Halfa- f c. H.) has been visited for the past seven or eight days by one of the greatest preachers, and the best evangelistic singer of his day and generation, in the person of Rev. W. H. Skipwith, B. D., better known as the International preacher and singe- er. Dr. Skipwith well deserves all of the titles one may give and more. The white people of the village, in commenting on the sermons and songs said that if he was a member of their race with such a talent he shouldn't want for anything. They further said that their race has produced some of the greatest preachers and evangelist the world has over known or read of such as Sanky-Moody; Sam Jones; Alexander Chapman, Torrey, Gypy Smith; Stough, and the Invincible Billy Sunday, but here is one who can do both preach and sing. So we are for tunate Skipwith is in a class by him self, three cheers for this great man of God and of our race. Every churchman of our race ought to hear this great man and Tabernacles should be built for him in all of the villages and cities of our country. I stand ready and willing to give from two to three hundred dollars as a donation toward any tabernacles for his meetings. Bamister Hill Baptist church in Houston couldn't begin to accommodate the people who wanted to hear him. White and colored were turned away. That great Men's meeting was one of the greatest I have ever heard. May God bless and keep this great man and may Dr. W. F. Graham of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Dr. Skip with's pastor over keep him on the field as a meacon light for God and the denomination. The Evangelist is now leaving for Mecherrin, Va. where he will be for two weeks with Dr. Hall. We predict for him a great success.

Dear Sir.—A grateful heart and an appreciation of your medical skill prompts me to make a statement of my daughter's case. I can truthfully say I believe your medicine saved my daughter's life. When she began your medicine she had been given up by several doctors, and my friends and lost all hope of her recovery. She had suffered seven months with drosophilic trouble and Bright's disease, her body swelling to an enormous size, totally blind for several days at a time, also delirious at her worst stages, finally going into spasms, as many as twenty-five or thirty in one day, going from one right into another, her skin peeled off, also losing her finger nails, and continuing in that condition for months. Such was her condition when I commenced on Mr. L. J. Hayden's remedies. After using his medicines only nine days she began to improve, and now at the end of two months there is no symptom nor sign of the old disease. Be assured that whenever I have it in my power I shall recommend I your invaluable remedies. I thank you a thousand times for what you have done for my daughter and for the kindness which you have extended to me throughout. Wishing you long and continued For full particulars, send or call L.

Forty of the fastest horses in this country owned by colored people will compete for honors. Racing pro- gram each day at 2 P. M. Information on racing program write D. W. Lee, Speed Manager. W. H. CROCKER, General Manager ANDORSED AS THE COLORED STATE FAIR. Richmond, Va., Sept. --At the North Atlantic Tuberculosis Conference to be held here on October 7th and 8th, some of the most eminent specialists of America will explain the latest and most approved meth ods of diagnosis and treatment; and it is believed that the program will insure a large attendance of men and women interested in combatting the disease which takes such a large annual toll of lives. The Virginia Association will hold a preliminary meeting on the evening of the sixth of October when the new constitution of that organization will be promulgated and officers for the ensuing year elected. Invitations to this meeting have been issued to all health officers in Va., to nurses to many others who have given evidence of interest in the Association's work. These invitations cover the period of the conference which will be held during the State Fair week, at which time it is anticipated that, following the usual custom, the railways will offer reduced rates to Richmond Unfortunately there is never a dearth of candidates for tuberculosis diagnosis, and Dr. Louis Hammann, of Baltimore one of the most distingished tuberculosis experts in America, will illustrate upon actual cases at the newest methods of scientific diagnosis. Hardly less interesting will be a lecture by Dr. Lee K. Frank, vice president of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co., and former President of the American Public Health Association, who will describe the plans for "Controlting Tuberculosis in Industry." This subject is just now eliciting much interest in the ranks of employers a number of whom will be at the conference. This year all supplies for the Tuberculosis seal campaign have been secured early; and Dr. Roy K. Flanagan, Director and Secretary of the Virginia Tuberculosis Association, is certifying all local agents that the supplies are ready for distribution. These seals which are sold every Christmas are the sole means of financing the state-wide work of the Virginia Association and they also help to finance local efforts, such as paying part or all of the salary of a visiting nurse or defraying the costs of a local clinic. Dr. Flhamagan states that he is really delighted over the interest that has been manifested in the seal campaign. He says that an unusual large number of men and women in the counties have volunteered to act as agents for the sale of the seals and he predicts that 1920 will be the banner year for receipts from this source. Philadelphia, Sept. 28—Mrs. Emma C. Bergdoll and her four code defendants were found guilty tonight of conspiracy to aid 2 of her sons, Grover and Erwin to evade the draft. The verdict t was returned before Judge Dickinson in Federal Court. Mrs. Bergdoll her son, Charles A. Braun, and former Magistrate James E. Romig, were found guilty on every count under which they had been in dicted. Albert S. Mitchell and Henry Schuh were acquitted on the indictments in which they alone were defendants, but found guilty with a recommendation for mercy on the joint bills. On application of their counsel the defendants were released on $10,000 bail each pending a motion for a new trial. There were seven indictments in cluding fifty-six counts. In two of the indictments all five defendants were charged with consularity with Grover and Erwin Bergdoll to assist NOTICE! This is to announce the opening of Dr. J. R. Griffin's new office at 700 N. 28th Street, and the housewarming on Monday, the 18th of October, from 8 to 12 P. M. THE BIG DOUBLE CIRCUS COMING THIS WAY RINGJANG BROTHERS AND BARNUM & BAILEY COMBINED ANNOUNCEMENTS AT EARLY DATE. This locality has entertained many ecusses, but never anything to compare with the gigantic double shows billed as Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Combined which will exhibit afternoon and night at Richmond, Wednesday, October 27. The merging of these mammoth institutions in one circle of colossal size, constitutes the amusement surprise of the century. Nothing to approach this gigantic, new circus has ever before toured Amer'ca. It has been formed by merging the pick and the cream of all that was biggest and best in the two famous shows. It would be folly to attempt to enumerate its many wonders. Some idea of the enormous scale upon which features are presented may be bad when it is stated that a quarter of a million pounds of elephants take part in a single act. In other words—six times as many of the big-eared giants that have ever before been seen in one main-tent exhibition. All else to be seen is in proportion. The araneo stars embrace all the world's foremost circus performers. There are three hours of novelties and big sensational acts. The menagerie is far and away the most colossal ever traveled. For instance, a hord of eight giraffes are exhibited in place of the two or three shown in the past. The great tournament which opens the maintent program, is the most magnificent thing in pagentry yet produced in America. Hundreds upon hundreds of gorgeously costumed characters and beautiful horses take part in it. The morning street parade is the longest and most brilliant ever given anywhere and offers something entirely new and novel in processional display. It is a stupendous, double-circus that baffles description. $150.00 ENDOWMENT PAID. Centralia, Va., September 5, 1920.
