ATTORNEY NEWSOME WIN'S MURDER CASE Newport News Barrister Was First Negro Lawyer to Plead A Murder Case in County, Vast Crowd Spell Bound During His Address. (A. S. West.) Accomac, Va., Oct. 21.—Dear Editor: The colored people of this county were aroused this week as never before in the history of the oldest inhabitants. The occasion was the appearance of Lawyer J. Thomas Newcombe in a murder trial, which attracted to the courthouse an immense crowd of both colored and white people. On every train passing the courthouse during the day large numbers came to hear the trial. No colored lawyer had ever appeared in old Accomac in a capital case. The entire Accomac bar, including Senator Mapp was out to hear Mr. Newcombe. Right here we pause to say that no lawyer of any race from any part of the country could have been shown greater courtesy than was extended to Mr. Newcombe. This writer heard the leading lawyer of the Accomac bar tell Mr. Newcombe that his office and library would be at his disposal as well as his telephone and stenographer. At one time during a legal wrangel between Mr. Newcombe and the Commonwealth's Attorney no less than three of the lawyers went to their offices to bring Mr. Newcombe the authorities cited by him. We contess it made us feel very proud. But to the trial, Cummin Wyatt was charged with murdering in cold blood, during the colored fair, unoth or colored man named John Hoskins. One witness testified that he saw Wyatt fire the shot and heard the deceased cry, "Cummin Wyatt has shot me!" An aged colored woman testified that she arrived at the scene of the shooting a few moments after it happened, and the deceased told her "Cummin Wyatt" shot me right here," putting his hand on his side where he was shot. Other evidence of a most damaging character took up the entire morning session. Against this evidence the accused went on the stand and swore that he was about five or six miles from the scene of the crime at the time it oc curred. Several friends of his corroated his story. The entire trial was enlivened by several legal clashes between the at torturers in which Mr. Newsome convinced all present that he was a past master in his profession. After the instruction had been read to the jury, Mr. White the Commonwealth's Attorney made his opening address in which he came out boldly for murder in the first degree. He laid much emphasis upon the old colored lady's testimony, saying that a woman of her age would not perjure herself and swear a man's life away, he made a convincing argument to the jury, and things looked black in deed for the prisoner. As soon as he sat down Mr. Newsome arose and calmly addressed the court, "May it please your Honor," he began, and immediately a thrill ran through the courtroom. Then for forty-five minutes Ascomac was treated to the greatest legal argument it has heard in a quarter of a century. With wit, humor, and eloquence of surpassing force and beauty, Mr. Newsome tore down the last fabric of the structure erected by the Commonwealth's Attorney and literally brought men to their feet as he warned the jury of what the consequence would be to them in their own future souls if they made a mistake resulting in the death of an innocent man. We would be happy if we could convey, even faintly an idea of Mr. Newcomer's great effort. Words fail us and we can only say that Mr. Newsome is an inspiration to the entire race, and is easily the leading advocate in the State. In his reply Mr. White said that he had been told that Mr. Newcomese was the best advocate at the Newport News bar and that after listening to him, he was convinced that he had no superior in the State. The jury brought in a verdict of "net guilty in nine minutes." An amusing incident happened when the verdict was announced. One old colored man cried out "Glory to God!" He was promptly haled before the court and fined five dollars. About a hundred men started forward to pay the fine but the old fellow had a big roll in his pocket. He paid the fine and then said, "Well, Judge I was happy." The above article was sent to The Star by Mr. A. S. West of Accomac, Va' It is one that we are proud of for its literary value, as well as for the victory won by our friend and business supporter, Hon. J. Thomas Newcomese. We thank Mr. West for his interest in us. We were unable to send a reporter ever but we still hope that the people will continue to read The Star so that the income will enable us to send a representative to every thing of importance so that we can publish the successes and victories of our people so that the world can read them. Mr. Gus West is one of the wealthiest and best learned men on that peninsula; one whose views are respected by both races. Having worked on the Eastern Shore twelve years as a teacher and being well acquainted with his family and his general standing in the community I venture to say that no one was better prepared to put Mr. Newsome before the public than Mr. A. S. West. BLACK BILLY SUNDAY. Rev. C. P. Dixon, of Canada, known ag the "Black Billy Sunday" is conducting evangelistic services at the Queen Street Baptist Church, colored, Norfolk, Rev. R. C.

OHIO REPUBLICANS SWEPT INT OFFICE ON LANDSLIDER Columbus, O., Nov. 3—The publican evangelice of votes it swept over the nation Tuesday a elected Senator Harding President one of the greatest pluralities in nation's history, continued to pile major ties by the thousands in Senator's home State today for colleagues. Not a Republican candidate State office was defeated and returns tonight indicated the publicity that the entire Ohio delegates in the next Congress may be Republican. In the present Congress the are eight Democrats and fourte Republicans from Ohio. and let the people of the Old World do the same thing in dealing with the affairs of Europe. The colored people of the United States have just cause to feel proud over the result which means so much to them. All they want is equal and exact justice, the meeting to them of their civil and political rights and the elimination of the caste system in dealing with them in the affairs of this Government. Senator Harding has promised to do what he can to remedy these conditions and we are frank to say that our people believe him. President Woodrow Wilson has no doubt done the best he could, but the American people want some one in the White House now, who can do better. A REVIEW OF THE RETURNS. SUBSCRIPTION RATES Jur Year ..... $ 2.00 6 Months ..... 1.10 Jur Months ..... 0.90 Petrogen Subscription ..... 2.60 The result city last Tue infor- tating in by the so-cal known as the St of the St The result of the election in this city last Tuesday presents some interesting information. The nomination by the so-called "Lily Blacks," better known as the Negro Republican Party of the State was in the nature of a protest against the discriminatory methods resorted to by the "Lily Whites" who openly declared that no colored man was wanted in the Re publican Party of this State. They set up the claim that with such rules and regulations in force Virginia could be redeemed from Democratic rule and that a large white electorate could be induced to vote the Republican ticket. The result last Tuesday does not substantiate this claim. On the other hand, it goes to prove that many of the national Republican leaders were deceived. The increase in the Republican vote in this State is not any more evident where the "Lily Whites" were in the saddle than it was in Georgia where Henry Lincoln Johnson the recognized Republican leader held sway. Our purpose was to analyze the vote of Richmond city as an indication of the trend of public opinion here and the strength of the dissatisfied Republican electorate. J. R. Pollard, Esq., the nominal candidate for United States Senate polled 2,742 votes in Richmond city. His colleague, Mr. H. H. Price nominal candidate for Congress polled 2,321 votes or 420 votes less than Pollard. Hon. John L. Grubbs, the nominal candidate for Congress, repre senting the dissatisfied "old line" Republicans polled 405 votes, while Harding and Coolidge, the Republican nominees polled 5,279 votes, recei cing presumably all of the votes of the dissatisfied elements. This is an approximate vote of 2,133 to be accepted to the Hon. Henry W. Anderson and Clerk Joseph P. Brady. "Lily Whites." On this basis Colored Republicans pelled 51 per cent plus of the total Republican vote cast, the Independent White Republicans pooled 6 per cent plus and the regular Republicans led by Hon. Henry W. Anderson 40 per cent plus. Combining the 51 per cent anti-machine vote of 2,741 and the 6 per cent anti-machine vote of 405 we have 3,146 votes or 50 per cent of the total vote cast. If the two wings are far-sighted enough to combine their forces, they will have strong grounds for party recognition under the new order of affairs after March 4, 1921. As the matter now stands in Richmond the colored Republicans represent a majority of the Republicans in Richmond city and have a clear case for action in the demand for official recognition. However, the Republican State Committee has recognized the 40 per cent of the Republican Party in this city. Who doubts but what it will continue so to do? The end is not yet.

Most people endeavor to reach heaven by the under ground route. Naturally, they land in the other place. The outlook for future prosperity is good and the colored people who are living in this country will share it. This country has become a very Bedlam of disagreement due to the fact that most of the leaders of to day have abandoned great principles.

Trouble Results when Isadore Cohon's Automobile Strikes Colored Girl in Newport News. Newport News, Va., Oct. 27.—An infurated mob of more than 300 Negroes here late severity beent and attempted to lynch Isadore Coh en white, and probably would have succeeded had it not been for the courage and bravery displayed by Rev. R. H. Green a Negro minister who rescued the young white man. The trouble began when Ledonia Dockory, a nine-year old Negro girl, was struck by Cohen's automobile. The accident happened in the Negro section of the city near an undertaking establishment, where lay the bodies of three Negro men shot and killed here Sunday in a clash with the police. Hundreds of Negroes had been visiting the inmogue to view the bodies and as a consequence Cohen's car was instantly surrounded by the blacks. While Cohen was attempting to get the child into the machine in order to take her to a hospital, the Negroes rained blows on him, crying, "beat him to death..." Green, prominent locally among his race, for more than two hours before the accident, had been haranguing Negroes from a soap box, urging them to calm themselves and forget Sun day's happenings' When Cohen was attacked Green managed to crawl over the shoulders of the mob and fought off the crowd while the young man got his car under way and escaped. Thus far no arrests have been made in the Negro section but the situation is described as tense' The girl is in a hospital officials state she cannot recover. Some ap prehension is felt that should she die tonight, a riot might be precipitated. Cohen is being held in jail without bail, pending the outcome of the girl's injury. SHAW DEFEATS HAMPTON 13-0. By E. A. Wilson. Hampton, Va., Oct. — The "big-league" football season opened with a clean, sportsman like game between Hampton and Shaw the first game in six years between these institutions. After a long vacation the Shaw boys invaded the Hampton Institute campus and payed one of the finest games played by them since the good old days of 1909-10. The play started with Hampton's kick to Shaw, and then Shaw started her heavy work on the Hampton line, but made no progress and was forced to kick. Hampton opened up desperately on the Shaw line, making valuable gains, in spite of the superior weight of the "Tar Heels." Shaw was in great danger, when Hampton tried a forward pass which was intercepted by a Shaw man. Here the "seasiders" lost a chance for a touchdown. Shaw tried a few end runs, but the galaa were only minor. Then a forward pass advanced them 36 yards. This soiled to weaken the "Sensulders." Shaw could now go through their line and Shaw penetrated the Hampton line like a shell from the "Busy Bertha" going through a news paper. Then Hampton was in the danger zone. A little pow-wow by the "Tar trees" wasted a few more minutes. Shaw came back and sent up another pigeon—"zoo" that fell in Williams' arms. Hampton had the ball at the right time. It was at that point that 'Tke Wright made a star of himself. A powerful kick sent the ball souring to Shaw. "Ike" was pushing Hardy so closely he tumbled the kick and Grant covered the ball for Hampton, putting Shaw in the same fix that Hampton had just been in. The quarter ended with Shaw bending low. The rooters began to sing, "Cheer two Weary Traveler." Some one did cheer those weary 'Tar Heels' because they came back strong. A little funble which was covered gave Hampton the ball again. Temple made a long run, after which a heavy penalty of 15 yards put Shaw up against it. Hampton had first down one yard to go for a touchdown. A great argument resulted; but the wise counsel of the football genius, Mr. Wilkinson soon convined the "Tar Heels" that he knew what he was doing. Did Hampton go over? No! Shaw sat down the aisle at bay. Four times Hampton rushed the line and tour times; they were hurled back. Shaw came in possession of the bad and kicked out of that dangerous place "the Wright took his od job back in quarter back. After a few more runs by the Hampton team, the first half ended--Score 0--0 SiHAW RULED SUPREME. Shaw ruled supreme during the entire second half. It began with the kick. Shaw kicked to Hampton and the "Scandiers" made a commendable gain with it. Then some more line plunging made Hampton look good; but there was just one fumble too many. Cook, the fast Shaw end, scooped up the ball and made the first touchdown. Hampton began to weaken fast. All hope and courage was gone. Their line was broken at will and a heavy barrage of forward passes gave Shaw another touch down. LINE UP' Harris, R. E.; Crawford, R. T.; Delanoy, R. G.; Stewart, C.; Crump L. G.; Summerville, L.

POLICE MOVE TO CHECK SERIES OF BOLD ROBBERIES. Plain-Clothes Men Assigned to Guard Department Stores. WOMAN SHOPLIFTER GETS FINE AND JAIL SENTENCE. Officecrs Chase Burglar Over House-tops in Shopping District. W. A. Clarke, Jr., secretary of the Richmond Retail Merchant Association said yesterday that city detective will be placed in all department stores for the next few weeks in an effort to check the constant stream of pillerings big and little which recently have threatened serious losses to stores victimized by shop tifters. Mr. Clarke appeared before Police Justice Maurice yesterday afternoon in place of George E. Wise, Common wealth's Attorney, when Mrs. Margaret Murray, one of four local women arrested by police during the past summer on shoplifting charges, was placed on trial. He obtained a conviction and Mrs. Murray was sentenced to thirty days in jail, with a fine of $25. Mrs. Grace Hutchinson who appealed a similar sentence when convicted a few weeks ago on the same charge, obtained a continuation of her case until November 19, her attorney charging that police had not shown proof of the alleged thefts Joseph Numally attorney for Mrs. Murray declared he would appeal her case to Hurtings Court. She was freed on a $500 bond. There are said to be several charges against her side the one on which she was tried yesterday. Likewise the police have made nearly a score of complaints against Mrs. Hutchinson and the other members of the alleged band which they say has been operating for many months. SHOULIETERS ARE ACTIVE Mr. Clarke says merchants continually report to him that various schemes to remove goods from their counters are being, successfully carried out by women old and young who frequent their stores day after day and even go so far as to take refuge in rest rooms provided by the merchants while they conceal articles of merchandise or transfer them from hiding places on their own persons to allege accomplices whom they have stationed in waiting for them. Some merchants have discovered the loss of their own goods by finding in their stocks articles said to belong to other storekeepers which, it is claimed, were substituted by the all alleged pilferers for things that were more to their fancy in other stores listed by them. Since last summer the losses have been steadily mounting, said Mr. Clarke until now they amount to several thousand dollars each month despite the fact that store detectives have made every effort to trail the suspected parties. With the approach of the holiday season the depredations are bound to become still more serious as the shopping throngs are annexed, unless concerted action is stalled at once, believe the depart ment store heads. CHASED OVER ROOFTOPS. Police are also on the lookout for a man or a group of men who are believed to be back of the recent attempt to enter Broad street stores. A window in the Jacob and Levy store was forced the other night and much merchandise abstracted from show cases and the store rooms. On Thursday night police had a chase on the roofs of stores at the southwest corner of Broad and Sixth streets, in which they lost their quarry after he had mashed a skylight in the roc, or Levy's book store. While they were searching the roof at the eastern end of the block in which the Levy store is located, they heard a slight noise behind them and saw the prowler lower himself over the edge of the roof some distance up the block and slide like a monkey down the drain pipe, making its escape. (Rice mound Va., Times Dispatch, Oct. 30, 1920.) BAN EMPLOYEES GELD BY THE PEERAL AUTHORITIES Three Charged With Flaving Part in Allied Forgery of Endorsement. An antiquary endorsement of a the length of cheek, made out to an employee at the Naval Base here, located at the arrangement of three em- ployees on a back for colored people year-round from United States Com- misiones Manege on charges of for- gery and of riding in forging a gov- ernment cheek. The cheek in question was made out to David Cormor colored em- ployees of the Naval Base for $194.50 and was returned to Washing- ton to the Norfolk clearing house. Treasury officials examining the en- durement found that the words "cell employee" had been left off after the signature. The check was the uponepen sent back to Norfolk for better endorsement, and was returned, to the Tidewater Bank and Trust Company, Inc., which had sent it to the clearing house here. Gordon was requested to resent to the bank and complete the signature. On his arrival, it turned out he could not write, and consequently had not endorsed the check. It devalued from the testimony that this was the first time Gordon had seen the check, and that he had not received the money for it. One of the officials of the bank allowed Gordon to put his cross-mark in the signature already on the check and returned it to Washington as properly endorsed according to ew dence yesterday Government officials thereupon be came suspicious, and an investigation was conducted by J. A. Blalock, special operating agent of the Secret Service Department. The investigation resulted in the arrest of G. W. C. Brown, the employee of the bank who had authorized the placing of Gordon's mark on the signature according to the charge. At the arraignment of Brown yesterday before Commissioner Mahone on the charge of forging, stealing, uttering and passing a government check, two other employees of the bank testified. These were Edward Baker and J. S. Hughson, who wiltessed the placing of the cross-mark on the check, according to the evidence. Immediately after their testimony Assistant United States District Attorney Frank C. Miller requested that these two be arrested on a warrant charging them with conspiracy to forge a government check. Brown was also arrested on the same charge All three Negroes were bound over to the Federal Grand Jury under bonds of $1,000 each. (Va. Pilot and Norfolk Landmark, October 15, 1920.) We cannot understand why these colored bank officials were sent on to the grand jury. —Ed. THE Y. M. C. A. NOTES. The boys and men are making use of the Y. M. C.

Blackstone, Va., Oct. 20.—The Grim Roaper, Death again visited our city on Saturday night, of last week and claimed as its victim one of our most lovable and progressive young men. Mr. Christopher Columbus Ward, who died at his home here at one o'clock. Mr. Ward had been sick but a short while, about three weeks, and at one time it was thought that he was on the road to recovery, the family and friends not knowing that he was in such a serious condition, but it was later seen that he was in a very critical condition. Perhaps the death of no man of his age, he being only 27 years old, having been born August 1893, has caused more grief to this vicinity than that of Ward.

Blackatone, Va., Oct. 20.—The Grim Roaper, Death again visited our city on Saturday night, of last week and claimed as its victim one of our most lovable and progressive young men Mr. Christopher Columbus Ward, who died at his home here at one o'clock. Mr. Ward had been sick but a short while, about three weeks, and at one time it was thought that he was on the road to recovery, the family and friends not knowing that he was in such a serious condition, but it was later seen that he was in a very critical condition. Perhaps the death of no man of his age, he being only 27 years old, having been born August 1893, has caused more grief to this vicinity than that of Ward. Nor was any young man in this community held in greater esteem by a large circle of friends. This was attested by the number of floral offerings presented at his funeral, and these were many and of many beautiful designs. The grave be big completely covered. These were given by the Young Mens Class of Shiloh Baptist Sunday School, of which he was a member, and the Uni form Rank, Knights of Pythias, of which he was also a member, besides those given by the family and great host of other friends. Mr. Ward was a good husband, loving father and did all that was in his power to make his home comfort table and happy and the genial hospitality shown those entering his home was unsurpassed, and he has been host to some of the most distinguisheld guests visiting the city. He was a young man of thrift and progress, and has shown to other young men what can be done if we but work and have an object in view. Funeral services were conducted at Shiloh Baptist church at two o'clock Tuesday, the 19th, by Rea R. W. Ashburn, Creed Greenhill and Tom Hudson, followed by interment in Fitzgerald cemetery. These were short, but very impressive. Rev. Ashburn paid a glowing tribute to the life of the deceased, and admonished other young men to try to emulate the example set by Mr. Ward and above to try and have the Lord to administer unto them when earthly doctors and friends can do no good as did our deceased brother. During the ceremony Miss Sallie Greenhill sung "In That City." One of the largest gatherers ever witnessed on such an occasion was present to pay their last tribute to respect. Mr. Ward had been a member of Mt Gerazine Baptist church for about twenty years, having professed the faith when a young lad. The following Sir Knights acted as pall bearers: J. L. Royal, E. P. Hawthorne; L. A. Spicely, Porter Edmonds, Norman Niblett and Geo. Holmes while the following were flow ear bearers: Tom Neal, Moses Epcs; Lemmy Collier, Eddie Hicks, Richard Bagley, Simon Irby; Jerry-Greenhill and Talmadge Jackson. He was laid to rest with Pythian honors. Besides a widow Mr. Ward leaves two children, two sisters and three brothers to mourn their loss, besides a host of relatives and friends. The two sisters are Mrs. Jane Ampy of Wellville and Mrs. Cora Fitzgerald of Richmond while the brothers are Messrs. Cornelius and Freeman Ward of this place and Mr. Thomas Ward of Norfolk. The most sincere sympathy of the entire community goes out to the bereaved family in their loss of such a dear one. Sleep on dear brother and take thy rest We loved you, but God loved you best. The following resolutions were adopted by Nottoway Lodge No. 79 of which the deceased was a member, and Keeper of Records and Seal at the time of his death. Blackstone, Va., Oct. 19.—As a token of the esteem in which Knights of Pythias Lodge No. 79 held the late C. C. Ward for our Keeper of Records and Sail the Lodge at its last meeting adopted appropriate resolutions. Our late hamunted brother served this Lodge as its permanent Keeper of Records and Seal Brother Ward was an exceedingly active and efficient worker in the cause of Knights of Pythias in this district and his un timely demise will be keenly felt. Following are the resolutions: WHIEMPAS, the Great and Supreme Ruler of the Universe has in His finite wisdom called from among us one of our friends and fellow comrades, Brother C' C. Ward; and WHEREAS, the long friendly relations held within the faithful discharge of his duties makes it binding that we record an appreciation of him THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: That the removal of such a life from our most leaves a shadow, and a vacey that will be a serious loss to this Lodge, and deeply realized by the Order in this district RESOLVED: That we sympathize with the bereaved family relatives and record the hope that even so great a loss to us may be overruled for good by Him that doeth all things well. RESOLVED: That we bow our heads to the will of Am. guilty Vied, and say to our Brother Ward, "Reast, peace be to thy ashes." RESOLVED: That a copy of these resolutions be spread on the minutes, a copy be sent to the bereaved family, and a copy seat to The Richmond Planet for publication. Committee: J. L.

OWNER ALSO MAY DIE Three Engage in Revolver Battle—Two Others Escape in Taxicab. (New York, Sun Oct. 27, 1920.) Nicholas Mecca of 169 West 100th street and Thomas Hunt of 793 Columbus Avenue both of whom have police records as bandits and holdup men, walked into the saloon at 600 Columbus avenue owned by William J. Martins and Andrew Hollocher last night shortly before 11 o'clock when the place was empty save for Mr. Hollocher, his hartender, George Ulrich and the man behind the oyster bar James Fowler. Mecca and Hunt drew revolvers and ordered the three men to hold up their hands and then lined them up behind the bar. Mecca kept them covered while Hunt wont behind the bar and began to open the cash register. He got it open after some trouble found it empty, and began to search about for money. Mecca took his eyes off the three prisoners for a moment and Mr. Hollocher reached down with one hand, opened a drawer and took out a revolver. Mecca fired at Hollocher as the latter straightened up, and again before Hollocher could return the fire. But at Hollocher's first shot Mecca fell to the floor with a bullet wound in the head and Hollocher turned upon Hunt. Both men fired twice. One of Hunt's bullets struck Hollocher in the left kidney while both of the shots fired by Hollocher hit Hunt in the head. Fowler and Ulrich notified the police, who found the 3 men unconscious on the floor. They were taken to the Knickerbocker Hospital, where it was said that Mecca and Hunt both of whom were placed under a rest charged with robbery, would die. Hollocher's condition was said to be serious. The police say that Hunt and Mecca, in company with another man and a girl came in on the side car in the evening and sat for a while in the back room, where they had several drinks. After a while, the police said, the four went outside by the side door and the other man and the girl engaged a taxicab. They waited outside with the machine while Hunt and Mecca went in to hold up the place, but fled when the shooting began. SHAFT ERECTED TO HONOR OF COLORED TROOPS. U. S.

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 had lost all hope of her recovery. She had suffered seven months with dropal 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 your invaluable remedies.

Usefulness of His Work Strugged by the Prejudice and Discrimination of the Democratic Administration' Lieutenant J. Williams Clifford, former Gilber of the 367th Infantry, 92nd Di Iosx, A. E. F., who for over a year his book after the interests of colored Servicemen in the Bureau of War Risk Insurance recently tendered his resignation on their appeal, representative because of continual limitations of his official duties, billed for southern white superiors. Upon interviewing Lieutenant Clifford, he said: "Little by little certain Officials in the Bureau of War Risk Insurance have attempted to give my Section trouble simply because of their hatred for the Negroes. Upon one occasion it was claimed that a personal letter was sent out from my office in a frauded envelope without a stiton, although the envelope was never produced. Another time I was ordered to stop signing letters written in my Section to Colored Soldiers, and friends because they wished them to be signed by a white man. This I refused to do and I was given to understand that if I did not do so, they would get some one who would carry out their orders. It was only after a two weeks fight, that I was again permitted to sign my name to letters originating in any Section. Later I was forced to sign my name to letters originated in my Section. Later I was forced to send my dictated letters down to another officer where a white high school graduate approved and signed them, signing my own signature to my own letters before they were sent out. This was all done because there was fear that I would persist in helping Colored ex-Servicemen in matters pertaining to their Insurance, Death Claims and Allotment Claims in a way that might embarase the Bureau of War Risk Insurance. Realizing that there was need for a Colored man in the Bureau of War Risk Insurance to look after the Insurance, Compensation and Allotment Claims of Colored Soldiers. I succeeded in having myself appointed to the position during the present administration. My official designation has been Special Representative of the Colored Soldiers and Sailors in the Bureau of War Risk Insurance By articles in the Colored newspapers and magazines and through the enrollment of many volunteer workers including, Doctors, Lawyers, Insurance Agents, Social Workers Young Men's Christian Associations, Young Women's Christian Association National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Fraternity Organizations, Urban League Workers and other Community Service Organizations. I have been able to stimulate interest in Government Life inurance among Colored discharged Soldiers to the end that millions of dollars worth of insurance have been saved and added to the economic strength of the Negro race. This work according to letters over the signature of my superiors has been carried on my efficiently. In fact it has been common talk in the Bureau that the Colored Servicemen's Section for its size is one of the most efficient Units in the entire institution. My office force of twenty-five employees including dictators, stenographers, file clerks and typists have rounded faithful and conscientious service in the interest of the discharged Colored Servicemen. Telegrams and letters have been sent to me telling of unjust, discriminating and cruel treatment that is accorded wounded Colored heroes by Medical Examiners in certain United States Government Hospitals located in the South. Many letters have been received that would bring tears to your eyes upon reading them' Upon one occasion in endeavoring to do my duty to my fellow-comrades who fought over seas to help make the World Safe for Democracy, my letter requesting a Colored Y. M. C. A. See retaliation of Houston, Texas to investigate the condition at Camp Logan, Texas and the treatment of Colored War Risk patients at that institution was held up if being claimed by the procedure would get the * Bureau into trouble. 'There are letters in the Colored Servicemen's office from Colored Soldiers who have been wounded on the battle fronts of Europe and who are now forced to remain in hospitals in the South that would make your blood boil in reading of the treatment accorded them.' The peculiar nature of many cases in the field occasioned by circumstances over which the Bureau has no direct control justifies the employment and recognized representative of the Colored race in the Bureau of War Risk Insurance and in the field as Medical Examiners and Field Investors. I believe such a policy would minimize the cases where so considerable a number of Colored former Servicemen are apt to be neglected or set aside. I think that the Negroes of America should know these conditions and that they should be brought to the attention of men and women of noble characters and genius American principles.' Mr. Clifford, further stated: Mr. Clifford further stated: : "The policy of segregation and discrimination enforced by the Democratic Administration is Un-American and displeasant in the extreme. Merit and ability count for naught if you have a black face. In most every Government Department the Colored members of my race are huddled to gather in some obscure corner or room and kept away from the other employees just as if they are infected with some insidious disease. Colored Soldiers who fought on the bloody battle fields of France, and contributed to the glorious American victory, who are now working in the Bureau of War Risk Insurance are not permitted to eat with the other employees of the building in the War Risk Restaurant. It is to be hoped that the utterances now falling from the lips of Senator Harding, Republican nominee for President of the United States bespeak the gourmet spirit of the Republican Party and the American Government—a spirit of fairness and justice to all without regard to race, color or creed. Lieutenant Clifford has taken the stump for the purpose of exposing the discrimination, segregation and injustice practiced by the Democratic Party in the Governmental Departments at Washington, D. C., and is urging the Negro ex-servicemen the country over to be at the polls November 2nd with a unanimous ballot for the Republican Party and the noble principles it represents. YONKERS MAN IS WHIPPED BY KU KLUX KLAN. Peter McMahon Says Mob in South Carolina Tried to Hang Him to a Tree; Driven From the Town. TAKEN FROM HEIRESS Declares He Was Engaged To Guard Girl Who Sought Trier Share in Big Estate. Philadelphia, Oct. 20.—Peter Mc Mahon, of 148 Jim street, Yonkers, N. Y., arrived here today on a north bound Pennsylvania train with his body bruised and cut from an attempted lynching and severe beating he says he received from a gang of eight masked men Monday night at Trenton, S. C. His condition was such that he was taken to Hahnemann Hospital for treatment. His neck and wrist were scarred by ropes and his clothing was stiff from blood. The members of the mob were dressed as Kluix Klansman, Mc Mahon said and he was taken from a train on which he was accompany a young woman, an heiress, for whom he was acting as a personal guard. McMahon said that the mob boarded a train at Trenton on which were he and Miss Florence Powell, of Alken S. C. She is the young woman who he says, had engaged him to guard her. According to his story, McMahon was taken in an automobile several miles from Trenton in the woods. A rope was tied about his neck but was found too short to hang him with. He was then dragged through the woods by the rope. Later, with many threats members of the gang produced a declaration that Miss Powell was not competent to administer her estate and this they tried to get Me Mahon to sign. He refused. They then stripped him of his clothing and tied him by the wrists to a tree. He says he was beaten with heavy whips. WARNED TO REMAIN SILENT After this his assailants blindfolded him; they took him to a house in an automobile and fed him' A physician attended his wounds. He was later taken in an automobile about seventy miles to Denmark. S. C where he was placed on a north bound train. Money was given him to pay for his ture to New York. He was warned that he would be killed if he spoke to anyone before he reached Washington' He was told he would be watched on the train' According to McMahon the train made thirteen stops before arriving at Washington and at every one of these a man came in from another and warned him to keep quiet. He said he was too weak to leave the train at Washington. McMahon said he was in the employ of Miss Powell, whose blind father, Joseph Powell, he asserts, is vice president, of the South Carolina Bank and head of the Powell Hardware Co. Miss Powell had been visiting friends in Plainfield N. J. all summer. She receives the income from a $50,000 trust fund and recently be gan to think that all was not as it should be, suspecting other relatives who, McMahon said, had recently been handling the older Powell's affairs. In a recent division of the fathers property he said he and Miss Powell did not believe she had received a fair share. ASKED TO GUARD GIRL Last week McMahon says, Miss Powell asked him to accompany her in the role of a personal guard back to Aiken while she investigate.

Fill in attached slip, and send stamps or money order. here tonight at the Annual Conference of the National Urban League on the subject of "Negro Leadership of Negro Workers in Industrial Plants," Dr. George B. Haynes, of the U. S. Department of Labor, emphasized the following points: "However much we may laugh and deplore the spectacular efforts of some of the Negro enterprises notified by the newspapers, recently, an impartial observer must see that such newspapers as 'The Negro World,' such efforts as the 'Black Star Line,' and other proposals with all the specacular appeals to the mass of the Negroes are a skillful use of the rising tide of race consciousness among them." "If the Negro's growing race consciousness so influences him in other parts of his life, it is surely a factor in his industrial work. If the Negro is looking to his own for leadership in other fields, should not in industrial management see the importance of using Negro leadership in the establishments where Negroes are employed?" "Similar color and appearance produces a sense of likeness and out of that sense of likeness grows a consciousness of kinship or kind." "We have recognized this scientific principle in dealing with other racial and national groups. It is rather strange that it is necessary to argue that it applies to Negroes in the same way. We recognize that the Italian working gang; is more readily led by the Italian padrone. Likewise of language and common place of residence has something to do with this. Consciousness of likeness in other respects, however, is a prime factor. Those who have managed and employed Chinese coolies testify to the same things in handling these workers." Furthermore, to know people very well one must live with them. Those who best understand conditions that affect their daily lives, or drawbacks which the average Negro wage-earner has in finding housos in which to live in finding suitable educational facilities for his children, in finding satisfactory church life, and religious leadership, in finding outlet assurance for that great overflowing warmth of emotion and fellow feeling, must live with Negroes, must share with them the life of the Negro world. Only Negro leaders live within that world." $150.00 ENDOWMENT PAID. This is to certify that I have received from John Mitchell, Jr., Grand Chancellor of the Grand Lodge of Va. Kuights of Pythias, N.
