THE RICHMOND PLANET RACE - COUNTRY - WORLD NEWS VOLUME XXXVIII, NO. 3 RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1920 PRICE: FIVE CENTS EDITOR MITCHELL'S TRAVELS (Continued from last week.) All thought of returning home had vanished. We had less more than a day and this would necessarily curtail our trip but we decided to push onward to Philadelphia and maybe to New York A SOBROWING CHAUFFEUR At Frederickburg, Va., I had met Dr. S. M., Tate at Mrs. Ajah N. Tate's boarding house where I spent my first night in this finished town. I was soon well on the way to the Chappawamie Swamp where so many automobiles had been ruined and where hours of agony had been experienced by their unhappy occupants But all went well with us now. The Richmond-Washington Highway had been much improved. As to the swamp we had conflicting reports. One chapfour from New Jersey who drove a Ford declared that he had his car much damaged. I came to the conclusion afterwards that he had taken that long detour by mistake instead of taking the short route recently prepared. BREAKFAST SERVED. He that as it may, we went on our way, missing the route once but rapidly retrieving our mistake. We reached a stream of clear water and right here, we decided to have breakfast, having purchased a dozen eggs and sliced bacon for the purpose. I thought Cogbill knew all about preparing a meal, as he was a married man, but finally had to fall back on Robinson who fixed up that trying pan of scrambled eggs to "a queen's taste." We had plenty of sugar and tea and the Stanley boiler supplied the boiling water. We thought or putting on the main burners and preparing the meal direct on the boiler, but it was found more convenient, just then to build a fire of twigs and all weat well with us. CHAPPAWAMSIC SWAMP We again took up the journey, Reaching Chappawamisie Swamp, we followed the signs and with a Light direction by the men stationed there we were soon on the concrete road through the swamp and that morning tel'd relieved as we viewed the house tops at Alexandria and then the Washington Monument in the distance in the capital of the nation itself. We crossed the Long Bridge, drove up to the Whitelaw Hole, where I vainly sought the manager but was finally put in telephone communication with President John H. Lewis, the promoter of this most imposing structure at the corner of 12th and T streets THAT COLORED HOSTELRY. No one would imagine for a moment that this was a colored hostelry. The lobby space, hotel desk, and dining room increases its attractiveness. I made arrangements for my return trip, when I expected to spend the week in attendance at the American Bankers' Association. It convened October 19, 1920 at Keith's Theatre. I was soon on my way on. Were waiting to get some water for the steam car when a traffic officer aprached. Robinson. He wanted to know who owned the car. It was loaded down and he seemed to think that things unlawful might be amongst the luggage. COULD SUPPLY HIS WANTS I walked up at the time and laughingly handed him my auto license and expressed my regret that I was unable to give him a drink of liquor. The officer smilingly admitted that he regretted it too. We were soon on the Baltimore Pike and the time lost was being made up. I had decided to take the other route by way of Media to Philadelphia and not go by way of Wilmington, which road way, I had been advised was under repair. Arriving in Baltimore in the afternoon the car at once became the object of attention by both white and colored. THE BETTER ROUTE A white gentleman kindly gave us much information as to the best way to get out of Baltimore and the better route to Philadelphia. I had sent Cochell and Robinson to get plenty to eat and they came indoors down for the journey. When I did strike the route on the way to Media ia the car was going at a rapid clip. Arriving at Media we took on more water and then as the sun was set- ting in the West we left that gate way in the direction of Philadelphia. I sent a telegram to Dr. R. E. Jones telling him that I expected to be in Philadelphia that night some time. I had expected to make it by 8 o'clock but although the roads were fine, I soon ascertained that it would be late before I could reach to the "City of Brotherly Love." THOSE LONG GRADES. I had not begun to apike the mountainous sections of Maryland and south-eastern Pennsylvania, but as the darkness began to settle, the long down grades became frequent and the long uphill winding thorough farms became noticeable. The car, though was running fine. The coolness so noticeable in the mountains tiring the summer nights was keenly felt and when we found that plethichy darkness was upon us, we speed up in the race for our destination. Robinson over-took and passed one car, apparently much to the occupants' dismay and then just ahead was a Pierce Arrow which he seemed bent upon over-hauling. He kept it in sight and was drawing upon it when we came upon those winding grade that were risky and dangerous HEAVY FOGS This ended the race and the chase. Then we would find ourselves in the midst of a cloud of dust. I remarked to Robinson that a car must be just ahead. That aint dust, Mr. Mitchell, that's fog he repiled. He was right. We continued to run into those foes and we slowed down. We had gotten to about thirty miles of Philadelphia when I heard a well known sound on the Stanley Steam car. Robinson understood it too. The steam packing is gone," he said. We had no time to stop. In one of the villages, I pursued another flash light. It was nearly ten o'clock. I was on the look out for some open space, some lot some cornfield in which to spend the night. JOHN MITCHELL JR.

Port au Prince, Haiti, November 17. The direct charge that Freeman Lang, formerly a corporal in the marine corps and a Heutonant in the gendarmerie, killed three Haitian prisoners at Henche in 1917 was made today before the court of inquiry which is investigating the activities of the American marines in Haiti by Adolph Pourgot, a native Pourgot who at the time was acting as corporal in the gendarmerie, testified he witnessed the execution of the prisoners which occurred immediate after a night attack. He testified that "during the attack, which lasted half hour the three Haitians were in prison. When the attack ended Lang ordered them out shooting the first one in the back. The others were brought out singly, meeting the same fate in the same. I was in the prison yard with other natives seekingly safety. Answering a request by Judge Adocate Major Jesse F. Dyer to identify Lang, if present the witness pointed across the table at Lang. At the juncture the court retired subsequent to announcing it would give Lang the flight to question Pourgot, obtain witnesses and employ counsel. Lang, who was formerly a resident of Los Angeles, Calif., and now engaged in business in Hinche started to question Pourgot but quickly objected to the translator declaring he wanted a white man. The court granted the request. Lieut. Col. Hooker described the January attack on Port au Prince saying GS had been killed. He declared the attack was made in order to bolster the handit cause. Harris, Lifschitz 2 Russian who has become naturalized pestified to having witnessed two killings of naive by the occupational forces but was indefinite as to dates places and names.

Portan Prince, Nov. 20.—The testimony of Sigon Gabot, a native gen dearm, charging that Lieut. Williams of the gendarmie neat a native to death in January 1918 caused an unsexed delay in the proceedings of the naval court of inquiry which is investigating the alleged killing of Haytians by American marines. The witness failed to give Lieut. Williams's initials but it was officially explained that he referred to Dorcas Williams sergeant of marines, who now is confined at Quantico, Md, awaiting court martial in Washington in connection with charges resulting from the investigation of conditions in Hayt's made by Major General John A. Lejeune chief of the Marine Corps. The Court communicated with Secretary Daniels of the American Navy asking if Williams will be sent here to face his accuser or waive a hearing now. The trial of Williams has been postponed to await the result of the naval inquiry here. Gabot a stummening boy, testified he was alone in the office of the gon darmarie with Williams when Gerrie Jean was killed with a piece of number the size of a man's arm. The witness ascerted he cried for aid to help in stopping the attack but was unable to make himself heard. He said he was unable to explain the reason for the killing except to say that Jean was summoned to the office of the gon darmarie after a battle with bandits. Another witness in the same case was called, but was excused pending decision on the procedure to be folowed Monday after Secretary Daniels has been heard from. The hearing in the case of Freeman Lang, a former corporal in the Marine Corps accused of killing three Haytian prisoners has been closed for the present the accused being given time to file a written defenco. FIRST COLORED ASSEMBLYMAN IN NEW JERSEY. Asks for No Special Advantage for Mace, but Wants a Square Deal Should Have Office in Pro- portion to Vote. Orange, N. J., When Dr. Walter G. Alexander of 14 Webster place Orange jakes his seat in the House of Assembly January 16 next as the first colored man to ever hold a legis lative office in New Jersey he will make it a point to be merely what his title implies, an Assemblyman from Essex County. He will strive to represent all of people this county for their best interests. That is what Dr. Alexander said when seen at his Orange home. 'I have nothing in mind at present to introduce into the legislature' he declared. At no time will I attempt to promote legislation in the interest of the race of which I am a member. I have been termed a radical in this respect, but I am not.' ADVOCATES A SQUARE DEAL Dr. Alexander believes colored people should be given public office in proposition to their voting strength. I have always advocated a square deal for my race, he said. As I said in my Campaign speeches, Americans should be Americanized as much as Americans are attempting to Amercianize foreigners. That means that the colored people should be given a fair square deal. This is nothing more than American. I do not believe that any special advantage should be given to the colored race; I have always maintained that in proportion to the votes that they give the Republic can party to that extent should they be voted for." When questioned about his reasons for entering politics Dr. Alexander said politics had always appealed to him, admitting that one of his reasons was to fight for the amount of recognition he thinks his race should have. ENTITLED TO AS MUCH AS WE GIVE We are equipped to as much as we give; it is my aim to see that we got it, he said. I want nothing more than that. I have always been politically accepte since coming to Orange because I have always been interested in politics and the betterment of the colored people." Fortunately for me, he replied to a question as to his early life, my parents had nothing to start with. I was one of seven children of a poor couple. Five were young, and it was all we could do just to get along. At the age of fourteen I entered Lincoln University for colored people near Philadelphia. I worked my way through college as jailor and also worked my way through the Boston College of Physicians and Surgeons, from which I was graduated when twenty-two years old. In Boston I was a bell hop and did either work around hotels in order to pay my tuition. I guess nobody deserves any special credit for what I may have accomplished. I was always able to take care of myself, and I did it; that's all. WIFE'S SISTER A VASSAR GRADUATE. Dr. Alexander's wife is a sister of Miss Anita Hemmings of Boston the only colored girl graduate from Vassan College. He mei her while studying in Boston and a year after his graduation they were married. His mother lives at Lynchburg, Va., where he was born. His father died last year. After practicing in Virginia for two years Dr. Alexander came to Orange and during the fifteen years of his residence thre he has built up an extensive practice. His latest campaign was his fourth effort to obtain an elecive office. Twice before he failed to make the Assembly and a few years ago he was defeated for a member of the City Commission of Orange. He has been a county commissioner for five years. He is a member of various secret and business organizations and is secretary of the National Medical Association. In principle he is an ardent probitist, believing in national prohibition with no modifications. He favors the complete elimination of the saloon, which he claims to be a detriment to humanity in general and to the colored race in particular. Prohibition is the best thing for the colored race that ever happened in Dr. Alexander's opinion. He helixes it will result in greatly improving the social and home life of colored people and thereby give them better education. THE Y. M. C. A.

He rallied several times and hopes for his ultimate recovery were entertained. Justice Crutchfield was born in Richmond, September 20, 1844. He was educated in the schools of Richmond which existed about a half century ago.

VOLUME XXXVIII, NO. 3 EDITOR MITCHELL'S TRAVELS (Continued from last week.) All thought of returning home had vanished. We had lost more than a day and this would necessarily curtail our trip but we decided to push onward to Philadelphia and maybe to New York A SORROWING CHAUFFEUR At Fredoreckshurg, Va., I had met Dr. S. M. Tate at Mrs. Ajah N. Tate's boarding house where I spent my first night in this finished town. I was soon well on the way to the Chappawawai Swamp where so many automobiles had been ruined and where hours of agony had been experienced by their unhappy occupants. But all went well with us now. The Richmond-Washington Highway had been much improved. As to the swamp we had contelfeting reports. One chaufour from New Jersey who drove a Ford declared that he had his car much damaged. I came to the conclusion afterwards that he had taken that long detour by mistake instead of taking the short route recently prepared. BREAKFAST SERVED. Be that as it may, we went on our way, missing the route once but rapidly retrieving our mistake. We reached a stream of clear water and right here, we decided to have breakfast, having purchased a dozen eggs and sliced bacon for the purpose. I thought Cogbill knew all about preparing a meal, as he was a married man, but finally had to fall back on Robinson who fixed up that frying pan of scrambled eggs to "a queen's taste." We had plenty of sugar and tea and the Stanley boiler supplied the boiling water. We thought or putting on the main burners and preparing the meal direct on the boiler, but it was found more convenient just then to build a fire of twigs and all wont well with us. CHAPPAWAMSIC SWAMP We again took up the journey, Reaching Chappawamis Swamp, we followed the signs and with a 110ft direction by the men stationed there we were soon on the concrete road through the swamp and that morning felt relieved as we viewed the house tops at Alexandria and then the Washington Monument in the distance in the capital of the nation it self. We crossed the Long Bridge, drove up to the Whiteclaw Hotel, where I vainly sought the manager but was finally put in telephone communication with President John 11. Lewis, the promoter of this most imposing structure at the corner of 13th and T streets THAT COLORED HOSTELRY No one would imagine for a moment that this was a colored hostelry. The lobby space, hotel desk, and dining room increases its attractiveness. I made arrangements for my return trip, when I expected to spend the week in attendance at the American Bankers' Association. It convened October 19, 1920 at Kellie's Theatre. I was soon on my way out. Were waiting to get some money for the traffic officer up proached. Robinson. He wanted to know who owned the car. It was loaded down and he seemed to think that things unlawful might be amongst the luggage. COULD SUPPLY HIS WANTS I walked up at the time and laughingly handed him my auto-license and expressed my regret that I was unable to give him a drink of liquor. The officer smiling admitted that he regretted it too. We were soon on the Baltimore Pike and the time lost was being made up. I had decided to take the other route by way of Media to Philadelphia and not go by way of Wilmington, which roadway, I had been advised was under repair. Arriving in Baltimore in the afternoon the car at once became the object of attention by both white and colored. THE BETTER ROUTE. A white gentleman kindly gave us much information as to the best way to get out of Baltimore and the best route to Philadelphia. I had sent Corbill and Robinson to get plenty to eat and they came ladened with the journey. When I did stoke the car the driver was at a rapid clip. Arriving at Media we took on more water and then as the sun was eat- ting in the West we left that gate way in the direction of Philadelphia. I sent a telegram to Dr. R. E. Jones telling him that I expected he to be in Philadelphia that night some time. I had expected to make it by 8 o'clock but although the roads were fine, I soon ascertained that it would be late before I could hope to reach the "City of Brotherly Love." THOSE LONG GRADES. I had not begun to quirk the mountainous sections of Maryland and south-eastern Pennsylvania, but as the darkness began to settle, the long down grades became frequent and the long up-hill winding thorough fairs became noticeable. The car, though was running fine. The coolness so noticeable in the mountains during the summer nights was keenly felt and when we found that the plethichy darkness was upon us, we speed up in the race for our car. He set it on the road and closed the car, apparently 'much to the occupants' disgust and then just ahead was a Pierce Arrow which he seemed bent upon overhauling. He kept it in sight and was drawing upon it when we came upon those winding grade that were risky and dangerous HEAVY FOGS This oued the race and the chase. Then we would find ourselves in the midst of a cloud of dust. I remarked to Robinson that a car must be just ahead. That aint dust, Mr. Mitchell, that's fog he repoked. He was right. We continued to run into those fogs and we slowed down. We had gotten to about thirty miles of Philadelphia when I heard a well known sound on the Stanley Steam car. Robinson understood it too. The steam packing is gone," he said. We had no time to stop. In one of the villages, I purchased another flash light. It were nearly ten o'clock. I was on the look out for some open space, somb lately cornfield in which to spend the night ARKANSAS JUDGE UPHOLDS THE MAJESTY OF THE LAW. Lewisville, Ark., Not. 12—A special grand jury returned an indictment charging Clark Burns (white) of Stamps with first degree murder for hapening caused the death of Haytice Brazwell colored last spring. The regular grand jury which filed its report reported that it had no indictment against Burns, Circult Judge C. R. Hawnie then demanded the documents in the case. The force man of the grand jury replied that the papers had been stolen. Judge Hawnie promptly ordered the jury discharged and a special one impaneled.

Portau Prince, Nov. 20—The testimony of Sigon Gabot, a native gendarme, charging that Lieut. Williams of the gendarmie neat a native to death in January 1918 caused an unexpected delay in the proceedings of the naval court of inquiry which is investigating the alleged killing of Haytians by American marines. The witness failed to give Lieut. Williams's initials but it was officially explained that he referred to Doreas Williams sergeant of marines, who now is confined at Quantico, Md., awaiting court martial in Washington in connection with charges resulting from the investigation of conditions in Haytii made by Major-General John A. Laljeune chief of the M.D. Court. The Court communicated with Secretary Daniels of the American Navy asking if Williams will be sent here to face his accuser or waive a hearing now. The trial of Williams has been positioned to await the result of the naval inquiry here. Gabot a stammering boy, testified he was alone in the office of the gen derarmerie with Williams when Garner Jean was killed with a piece of humber the size of a man's arm. The witness asserted he cried for aid to help in stopping the attack but was unable to make himself heard. He said he was unable to explain the reason for the killing except to say that Jean was summoned to the office of the gendarmerie after a battle with bandits. Another witness in the same case was called, but was excused pending decision on the procedure to be folowed Monday after Secretary Daniels has been heard from. The hearing in the case of Freeman Lang, a former corporal in the Marine Corps accused of killing three Haytian prisoners has been closed for the present the accused being given time to file a written defence. FIRST COLORED ASSEMBLYMAN IN NEW JERSEY. Asks for No Special Advantage for Race, but Wange a Square Deal —Should Have Office in Proportion to Vote. Orange, N. J., When Dr. Walter G. Alexander of 14 Webster place Orange makes his seat in the House of Assembly January 16 next as the first colored office in New Jersey he will make a point to be merely what his title implies, an Assemblyman from Essex County. He will strive to represent all of people this county for their best interests. Alexander said when seen at his Orange home. "I have nothing in mind at present to introduce into the legislature" he declared. At no time will I attempt to promote legislation in the interest of the race of which I am a member, or to medicate in this respect, but I am not." ADVOCATES A SQUARE DEAL Dr. Alexander believes colored poo people should be given public office in proposition to their voting strength. I have always advocated a square deal for my race, he said. As I said in my Campaign speeches, Americans should be Americanized as much as Americans are attempting to Ameri cante foreigners. That means that the colored people should be given a fair square deal. This is nothing more than American. I do not believe that any special advantage should be given to the colored race, but I have all ways maintained that in proportion to the votes that they give the Republic can pay to that exent should they be paid." When questioned about his reasons for entering politics Dr. Alexander said politics had always appealed to him, admitting that one of his reasons was to fight for the amount of recognition he thinks his race should have. ENTITLED TO AS MUCH AS WE GIVE We are entitled to as much as we give; it is my aim to see that we get it, he said. I want nothing more than that. I have always been politically active since coming to Orange because I have always been interested in politics and the betterment of the colored people." Fortunately for me, he replied to a question as to his early life, my parents had nothing to start with. I was one of seven children of a poor couple. Five were young, and it all we could do just to get along. At the age of fourteen I entered Lincoln University for colored people near Philadelphia. I worked my way through college as jartor and also through the Army College of Physicians and Surgeons, from which I was graduated abon twenty-two years old. In Boston I was a bell hop and did other work around hotels in order to prey my tuition. I guess nobody deserves any special credit for what I may have accomplished. I was always able to take care of myself, and I did it; that's all. WIFE'S SISTER A YASSAR GRADIATE Dr. Alexander's wife is a sister of Miss Anita Hemmings of Boston the only colored girl graduate from Vassau College. He meq her while studying in Boston and a year after his graduation they were married. His mother lives at Lynchburg, Va., where he was born. His father died last year. After practicing in Virginia for two years Dr. Alexander came to Orange and during the fifteen years of his residence thre has built up an extensive practice. His latest campaign was his fourth effort to obtain an executive office. Twice before he failed to make the Assembly and a few years ago he was defeated for a member of the City Commission of Orange. He has been a county commiteeman for five years. He is a member of various secret and business organizations and is secretary of the National Medical Association. In principle he is an ardent prohitionist, believing in national prohibition with no modifications. He favors the complete elimination of the saloon, which he claims to be a detriment to humanity in general and to the colored race in particular. Prohibition is the best thing for the colored race that ever happened in the United States. In the opinion of helix it will result in greatly improving the social and home life of colored people and thereby give them better education. THE Y. M. C. A.

Justice John Jeter Crutchfield aged 76 who has resided over the Richmond Police Court for over thirty-two years, died in the home of his son-in-law Aylett T. Godkin, Forest Hill, Sunday afternoon at 1:06 o'clock. Justice Crutchfield had been seriously ill for the last ten days. Though his death was not unexpected it came as a shock to his wide circle of friends throughout the city and State. General services will be conducted from the First Baptist church to morrow afternoon. S. O'clock, Rey. George W. McBurdal D. D., assisted by Roy. Arthur P. Gray will attend. Burial will be in Hollywood Cemetery. Masses will be in charge of the service. Friends are invited to attend the funeral but the burial will be private. His nephews will act as paloozaers. WAS ILL TWO WEEKS For a number of years Justice Crutchfield had been suffering with heart trouble and asthma. He was stricken on the street about two years ago while on his way home from court. Since then the trouble has recurred several times. About two weeks ago he was severely attacked with the malady and was confined to his bed. He rallied several times and hopes for his ultimate recovery were entertained. Justice Crutchfield was born in Richmond, September 20, 1844. He was educated in the schools of Richmond which existed about a half century ago. Possessed of an abundance of natural wit and peculiar understanding of human nature, he was immensely popular with all who came in contact with him. Magazine stories have been written and stage impersonations made of the celebrated "One John." Justice Crutchfield was justice of the Richmond Police Court thirty-two years having been appointed to that position July 4, 1858. For some years prior to that time he was a justice of the peace and was acting justice of the Police Court during the time that Justice Joseph J. White was II!.

OFFICES Prior to his election as a justice of the peace he was one of the checks in the Chosapeake and Ohio Railway offices which were at that time located in Newport, News. Justice Crutchfield married Miss Alice Brown more than fifty years ago. Mrs. Crutchfield died about a year ago, her death coming as a great shock to the justice. His out is thought to have been hastened by this misfortune. Shortly before the death of Mrs. Crutchfield the aged couple celebrated their golden wedding anniversary, when they received congratulations from friends all over the country. Justice Crutchfield was a veteran the War Between the States.

Great Britain seems determined to pursue its policy of "blood and iron" in Ireland. On the other hand, the Irish Republican leaders seem determined to "do or d'e" in order to secure for themselves the blessings and the responsibility of absolute independence. The latter can only be obtained by an open clash of arms in which the Irish leaders must be successful. It seems to us that the chance of Ireland for complete independence was lost at the termination of the last great war. Unless some nation, like the United States of America accords to these struggling people recognition and help, it seems as though this revelry of blood will continue to go on. Many of the British are disposed to let Ireland, have her way, while others, who control the Government are equally as determined that the flag of the Irish Republic shall continue to float below the English Jack. God knows best and we presume that the destiny of Ireland is fixed. She may get her rights, but not of a kind and character that the radicals of the nation had hoped to obtain. FURTHER ANALYSIS. The official figures relative to the recent election in this State are now available and they confirm what we previously stated as to the result. Governor James M. Cox, Democratic candidate for President polled (141, 670) one hundred and forty-one thousand, six hundred and seventy votes and Senator Warren G. Harding, the Republican candidate for President polled. (87,458) eighty-serve thousand, four hundred and fifty eight. Senator Carter Glass polled (184,646) one hundred and eighty four thousand, six hundred and forty six votes and Attorney J. R. Poulard candidate of the Negro Republican Party in the State polled (17,576) seventeen thousand, five hundred and seventy-six votes. Based upon the Republican vote for Senator Harding, The Negro Republican Organization cast twenty per cent. of the Republican vote. In other words, the regular Republican organization cast (69,882) sixty-nine thousand; eight hundred and eighty two more votes than did the insurgent body. Still, this showing is a powerful protest against the methods employed by the Lily White organization which excluded these colored citizens from any participation what ever in the election of delegates to the National Republican Convention at Chicago. Can the Republican Party in this State carry any election with some seventeen thousand of its members eliminated? It is evident that much more will be heard from these election returns. It is true that these figures place the 'Lily White' element in absolute control in this State by virtue of the preponderance of the voting power. It shows too that the white Republicans, who opposed this organization are limited in membership, their voting strength being almost insignificant. Still, they can do "a world of good" by combining with the insurgent Republican organization add in making common ground in preparation of grievances to the great Marion resident, who for four years from the fourth of next March will occupy the White House. There was never a time, when conservatism was more needed than now. The official return snows too that the Republicans carried twenty counties in Virginia out of one hundred. Color ed people as a rule lack wise, conservative leadership. The white folks have been deficient in this same kind of material for fifteen years or more. Let us hope that a conference may be called and ideas exchanged by which the best thing to be done will be done and to the end that these disagreements amongst ourselves may be eliminated for ever-more. PECULIAR CONDITIONS When the 'Jim Crow' car cases were being argued before the Supreme Court of the United States the plea was set up that racial discriminations on intra-State travel that is on travel wholly inside of a State was not subject to judicial review by this supreme tribunal. It was also alleged and sustained by the Court that where a person travelled on inter-state trains, that is trains that passed through one State into another that passengers who purchased tickets for points wholly inside of the State were not subject to relief by the Supreme Court. This was an opportunity, which was immediately seized to avoid the points raised by contesting colored passengers, who objected to paying first class fare and were accorded second class service. Now comes another issue of States Rights and this time, it comes from the great State of New York. The reason for this is that the Inter-state Commerce Commission has ordered the railroads of New York to establish passenger and baggage rates on intra-state trafie to conform to the higher rates on inter-state schedules. These railroads had, when granted charters by the State of New York agreed to furnish service at a specified rage. The New York Public Service Commission has granted an increase on everything but milk and now the National body has ordered that an advance be made in passenger fares, freight rates and the price of transporting milk. It is a question of State's Rights, pure and simple. The New York Public Service Commission has ordered its attorneys to test the question in the federal courts. Colored folks will watch with interest the result of this contitution an dwhite folks in the Southland will wonder when and where the supposedly States' Rights Democratic Administration will get off; THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA HIS LAST SLEEP. The death of Justice John Jeter Crutchfield at his home in this city last Sunday afternoon removes from this life one of the most remarkable characters this Stage has ever produced. It is interesting to listen to the many views expressed and opinions entertained by those who knew him and those who did not know him. He was a terror to the evil-doer and sometimes a source of fright to the person not belonging to that class. Under his rugged austerity of manner was a heart as tender and as sympathetic as that of a woman. He was often misunderstood for the reason that he was true to the principles in which he bellowed. Abusing at times colored people, he was first and foremost in recognizing their leaders and in according to the worthy members of the race that consideration, to which they were entitled. He staged many cases that came before him and lightened the arduous and thankless task assigned to him by a grim humor that created unbounded amusement to his hearers and taxed the ability of the court bailiff to 'keep order' in the courtroom. Personally, we have aided many a prisoner to escape rigorous punishment by making an appeal to him. He has gone the way of all the earth and as he takes up his long march on the other shore, we sympathize with those he has left behind and weave a garland and 'drop a tear' over this gray old veteran, who with all of his mistakes and with all of his achievements will be mourned by young and old, white and colored until the grave in Hollywood has been obliterated from sight and the occupant thereof has changed to the same component parts of Mother Earth. "Peace to his ashes; rest for its soul." REPUDIATES KU KLUX KLAN. The following is a facsimile of the advertisement which appeared in the columns of the Richmond, Va., News Leader Saturday November 13, 1820. KNIGHTS OF THE KU KLUX KLAN If you are 100% American, believe in doing things, and want to get with a real bunch of Americans who love law and order, and will protect the pure womanhood, our constitution and enforce its principles. Address State Secretary. On Tuesday, November 16th, 1920 the editor of the Richmond, Va., News Leader published an article drawing responsibility for the ad vertisement and declaring that the columns of that journal would be barred against the announcement's of this trouble-breeding Order. The editorial is as follows: "MUCH IS IN A NAME." The News Leader on Saturday pushed an advertisement of the Ku Klux Klan. The News Leader regrets it did so. Of the principles of the Ku Klux Klan may be constructive. The News Leader may be in full sympathy with them. But the associations of the name Ku Klux Klan are with methods of terrorization and mystery, which methods no longer avail for the solution of the problems of the South. Instead of mystery open council is needed: instead of terrorization, education. To revive the name, even for a program of distinct Americanism is to arouse apprehensions that cannot help and may hinder. The News Leader will print no more of this advertising. MORE TROUBLE IN GEORGIA: We do not understand conditions in Georgia. We do not understand the relationship between Editor Ben J. Deves of the Atlanta Independent and the Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson We admit that we had high hopes of this distinguished southerner, who outwitted the Negro-haters at Chicago and secured for himself a place on the National Republican Committee. We had hoped that the colored people of the United States could rally around him as the national race leader and put such unanimous support behind him as to enable him to do much for himself and much more for the colored leaders, who placed their trust in him. But the Atlanta Independent edited by B. J. Davis, one of the ablest craters in these United States of America "lets the cat out of the bag" in its issue of November 13, 1920. 11 says: A few days ago we sent out communications to every member of the State Central Committee, white and black asking them to join us in a de mand that Gorce and Karnes tender their resignation, for reasons set out in the note. We beloved at the time Mr. Goreo was elected chairman that he was unfit for the position and we told Henry Lincoln Johnson so at the time and without making an open fight, we sought to impress the republicans that Mr. Goreo was lacking in both moral stamina and mental fitness to fill the position; that his motives in aspiring to the place were uttered; that he was not dependable and the monarch he was clothed with power, he would rule the party or ruin it; that his conception of leadership was one man rule, and that he, in common with a majority of poor white men, was a Negro later. We had heard him stand in Marietta St. at Grady Monument when former Mayor Woodward was a candidate in the white democratic primary to succeed former Mayor Maddox, and say that his was a white man's country and the white family of Atlanta would never again submit to the setting aside of their will with Negro votes and tissue ballots; that the kid glove crowd had elected a dude mayor two years ago in the teeth of the expressed will of the white people by resorting to Negro votes and tissue ballots. This, in itself, unfitted this man for republican leadership; and if any member of the party has any doubts that Goree's usefulness with the re-creation party is at an end and it is his duty to resign at once, read the following infamous plot conceived by him and conculated by Karnes, Roberts and McCure, three dipped, dyed in the wool. Fly whites. Goree sees the handwriting on the wall, and knowing that he must go, that if he does not resign, charges of disloyalty will be preferred against him and process issued on him to show cause why he should not be expelled and if he fails to put in his appearance, the committee will proceed ex-port and expel him. The Independent then publishes a letter showing that Mr. C. P. Goree, is about to organize and charter a Republican Club in Georgia, from which colored citizens are to be excluded. Editor Davis overlooks the fact that a political party cannot be chartered, but a political club can be. But what we cannot understand is how Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson and B. J. Davis, Esa., have drifted so far apart. Certainly, if Mr. Johnson recognized the Negro-hating C. P. Goree, he must have had a reason for so doing. He may have been directed to do it by "the powers that se." "I he were so directed, how could this be brought about without communicating the fact to his bosom friend, Ben. Davis of Atlanta, Georgia? As we said before, there is some ling mysterious about all of this and it would seem that "politics need make strange bed-follows." Brother Ben. Davis has a unique method of getting rid of a chairman and vice-chairman. This is how he proposes to do it: Let Goree and Karnes resign; and if they do not resign ask them to call the committee together, and if the chairman refuses to call the committee, ask the vice chairman, Karnes; and in the event he refuses ask the secretary to convene the committee and let the chairman and vice chairman show can e if they can why they should not be removed from office for the good of the party. Who believes that Chairman Gorce will convene his own committee to bring about his own undoing? How can the Committee he convened with out the chairman calling the meeting? Brother Davis has concluded that all of this is easy. He tells them how to do it and we shall watch with much interest the result of the contest in Georgia. Talk about fur flying. It will sail sky high when Chairman Gorce calls together that committee to put himself out of office. Selah. THE KU KLUX KLAN We note with infinite satisfaction and the greatest of pleasure the attitude of the Richmond, Va., News-Leader in dealing with the Ku Klux Klan organization. It states plainly that the advertising patronage of this secret body of men is not wanted. This is the only proper course to take in dealing with this sinister organization. Just how any class of people in a Republic could expect to Lift Off Corns! Doesn't hurt! Lift touchy corns and calluses right off with fingers Apply a few drops of "Freezone" upon that old, bothersome corn. Instantly that corn stops hurting. Then shortly you lift it right off, root and all, without pain or soreness. Hard corns, soft corns, corns between the toes, and the hard skin calluses on bottom of feet lift right off—no humbug! Tiny bottles of "Freezone" cost but a few cents at drug stores Calomel is a dangerous drug. It is mercury—quicksilver; and attacks your bones. Take a dose of nasty calomel today and you will feel weak, sick and nauseated tomorrow. Don't lose a day's work. Take "Dodson's Liver Tone" Instead! Here's my guarantee! Ask your druggist for a bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone and take a spoonful tonight. If it doesn't start your liver and straighten you right up better than calomel and without gripping or making you sick I want you to go organize an oath-bound organization wearing masks to not only hide their features, but the r bodies as well with the names of the members with news from the public and expect to be recognized in respectable and honourable society, is a mystery to us. Even the Reds in Russia under the leadership of Lenine and Trotzky are more honorable. They fight in the open and they are responsible admittedly so for the murders and assassinations that take place in the name of the law. These men profess one thing and mean another. They proceed along the same lines as those marked out for the lynchers and they single out their victims under the flaming light of the fiery cross. Their aim is to fatmidage and to frighten the ignorant and the illiterate and to punish those leaders, who have the manhood to do their own thinking. There is no room in this country for any such organization, be it black or white. We are glad that the better class of white and colored people are of one mind relative to this sinister organization. It cannot do other than cause trouble between the races and right now, it is the time for all elements to work in harmony to the end of bettering conditions and to heal the wounds that this and other wars have made.

For about five years there has been at this sanatorium an organization of patients and former patients known as the Catawba Sanatorium Annuity Association. The Alumun Association had for its primary purpose the provision of funds for the sanatorium care of indigent consumers, patients, whose money gave out before they had continued treatment long enough to be responded to working capacity, or to such a degree of health as could be expected. The fund for this purpose was never more than a few hundred dollars. It was paid out almost as soon as received from contributors, because at times it was impossible to take care of as many as were worthy, yet unpleasant on account of poverty to continue treatment. These patients come from all sections of Virginia. Every part of the State, therefore should be interested in the growth of this work. Will Promote a full Growth of Hair.

Fired On From Ambush While Sitting Down in His Home. Receiving Medical Aid, Steps Being Taken to Apprehend Guilty Parties. After returning from Jacksonville last Monday evening, Mr. George E. Taylor was shot from ambush at his home, near Mandarin by some unknown person who took flight immediately afterwards. Mr. Taylor and family have been living at that place nearly a year, where he is engaged in truck and poultry farming. He had fully demonstrated his usefulness as a good citizen showing a most commendable ex ample in industry and enterprise. He is a peaceful citizen never obtruding himself upon anyone and it is hard to imagine anyone holding malice against him sufficient to prompt such a deed. A load of buck shot was fired at him as he sat near a window in his home and it is said had it not been for most of the shot lodging in the window frame he would have been instantly killed. He was brought to the city last Tuesday and is being treated at a private home by a physician. Steps will be taken through the authorities to apprehend the one who made this murderous assault. Mr. Taylor is widely known 'n many parts of Florida and other parts of the United States. He came fifteen years ago from Iowa and has resided here ever since living the most o the time in Jacksonville where he has been identified with several enterprises. Annual meeting of the Highway Realty Entertainment corporation will be held at the St. Luke Hall on November 29th. Various speakers will be present; Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, Mr. Nelson Williams, Jr. The Publicice is invited. *Admission free.* SYRUP OF FIGS IS LAXATIVE FOR CHILD OOK AT TONGUE! REMOVE POIS ONS FROM STOMACH, LIVER AND BOWELS. A mother is giving a child a cup of tea. Accept "California" Syrup of Figs only—look for the name California in the package, then you are sure curd child is having the heat and most harmless laxative or physic for the little stomach, liver and bowels. Children love its delicious fruity taste. Full directions for child's dose on each bottle. Give it without fear. Mother! You must say "California." YOU WOULDN'T TRY TO TAME A WILD-CAT Mr. Dodson Warns Against Use of Treacherous, Dangerous Calomel. Calomel salivates! It's mercury. Calomel acts like dynamite on a sluggish liver. When calomel comes into contact with sour bile it crashes into it, causing cramping and nausea. If you feel bilious, headache, constipated and all knocked out, just go to your druggist and get a bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone for a few cents which is a harmless vegetable substitute for dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful and if it doesn't start your liver and straighten you up better and quicker than nasty calomel and without making you sick, you just go back and get your money. If you take calomel today you'll be sick and muscled tomorrow; besides, it may salivate you, while if you take Dodson's Liver Tone you will wake up feeling great, full of ambition and ready for work or play. It's harmless, pleasant and safe to give to children; they like it. VIRGINIA—In the Law and Equity Court of the City of Richmond, November 23, 1920. CHARLES H.

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 had lost all hope of her recovery. She had suffered seven months with dorsical 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. 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.

Constantinople, Nov. 14—The army of General Wrangel, the anti-Bolshevist commander in South Russia, has been wiped out and a number of his generals have committed suicide A mob in Sebastopol has pillaged the American Red Cross stocks. The American torpedo boat destroyers at Sebastopol are evacuating officers and their families. The American destroyer Humphreys has gone to Yalta to take off the Red Cross supplies. The United States transport Faraly has arrived here with 300 slick and wounded, who were cared for by the American Red Cross. It is said that the Reds were joined by some Ukrainians in spreading terror among the populace in the Crimea. The resident shdl cmfwy hl fl.) .0 The resistance of General Wrangel's and his troops are fleeing in utter confusion after fighting herocally about Perekop. Headquarters here of General Wrangel confirm reports that his "white" army cannot hold the Crimea. The allied authorities here are requisitioning all available buildings along the Bosorpus and the shelters and barracks on Brinces' Island in the Sea of Marmora, to house refugees expected to arrive from the Crimea. Premier Krivochin of General Wrangel's government arrived hero today to arrange for the transport of women, children and wounded from the Crimea. He said the possibility of a general evacuation of the Crimea could not be excluded and that everything was being done to save the remnants of General Wrangel's army. M. Krivochin said General Wrangel's troops are inferior to the Bolshovists and his losses have been enormous. Premier Krivochin stated that General Wrangel's troops are exhausted having repelled twenty-two attacks in the past few days. The Bolshovist artillery has been terribly destructive he added. The Bolshovists, according to Premier Krivochin take no hoof of losses, three or four columns attacking en masse often being annihilated, but fresh troop s constantly are brought up. Nearly all General Wrangel's divisional or regimental commanders have been killed or wounded the Premier said. The Reds broke through the defense of General Wrangel on the Isthmus of Perekop according to the best reports obtainable here, by contrasting twenty divisions against three divisions of the White army. Wrangel men although greatly outnumbered, wiststood twenty-two saults before Perekop but finally were beaten. The commanders of most of Wrangel's units were killed and the losses in men also were very large. The success of the Bolshevists is attributed largely to the excellence of their high command which is said to be directed by a foreigner. The fighting at Perekop was of the most desperate character. The Bolshevists according to latest advices, admit they had 30,000 men killed. They claim to have taken 40,000 priors. They owe their success largely to the use of poison gas. It is stated that at the request of the French representative attached to Wrangell's headquarters the Bol shevists have granted eight days for evacuation of Crifca. RETREAT CONTINUING. Paris, Nov. 14—General Wrangel's army thoroughly heaten, is continuing to retreat southward, according to information received by the French Foreign Office today, pursued by a well commanded Bolshevist army of twenty-seven divisions General Wrangel has suffered great losses and many of his officers have been killed. The French Foreign Office today confirmed the hopelessness of Gen. Wrangel's military situation. The evacuation of Sebastopol by civilians and foreigners is under way according to Foreign Office advice, but the members of General Wrangel's government still were in Sebastopol last night, although the Bolshevists were reported to be occupying Simferopol and capturing many prisoners and large quantities of materials. WILSON MEN WIPED OUT IN WHOLE DELEGATIONS. Washington, November—How complete is the utter demoralization of the Democratic party in Congress as the result of the Harding landslide is indicated by the complete or nearly complete elimination of all repre sentation in many of the most popu lous states of the Union. In Ohio not a Democrat is left to defend his political faith. General Jacre R. Sherwood who has been in the House off and on since his first term in 1873, when he and "Uncle Joe" Cannon came in together, lost out, as did Gard, Welty, Brumbaugh Davey, Mooney'; Babka; and Ashbrook whose district was regarded as impregnable. Among the new members will be Theodore E. Burton, who was formerly chairman of the House Committee on Rivers and Harbors, succeeded Joseph B. Foraker in the Senate and was the choice of his state for the Presidency in 1916. Not even Pennsylvania did as well, for, while six Democrats fell by the way side one yet remains in Guy E. Camp boll., of Pittsburgh who was also in dorsed by the Republicans. In Indiana the delegation remains as it was—all Republicans and all re-elected. So it it in Iowa, with the exception of Kopp a Republican who succeeds Kennedy, another Republican who retired. In Illinois with three districts still in doubt, it apears that every Democrat has gone down to defeat for the first time in the memory of the oldest inhabitant. Likewise, Connecticut is now all Re publican, as is Kansas by the defeat of Ayros, a Democrat in the Eighth district and Michigan by the defeat of Doremus in the First district. Minnesota purged itself of even an inde pendent by leaving at home W. L. Carss and now every member is a Re publican. Most remarkable of all was the shift in Missouri where ten Democrats wont to defeat, including the veteran Champ Clark and where all but one of the sixteen representatives are now Republican. The majority so was large that the state is now considered safely Republican for a long time at least. Montana was bereft of its one Democrat and Utah deftened its two Democrats and substituted two Republicans. Nevada sent one Republican instead of a Democrat. California sent three more Republicans instead of two Democrats and a prohibitionist so that the delegation will contain nine Republicans and two Democrats. In New Jersey four Democrats were boaten and only one now remains in the delegation of twelve. In New York eleven Democrats were snowed under in the awful blizzard of November 2. Nine now remain out of the forty-three in the delegation, which also includes one Socialist J. V. Ganley' and R F. McKimilry, "budies" who lived at the same hotel, had adjoining offices as well as ditto nwill contain nine Republicans among the casualties. In Oklahoma five Republican members will grow where only two grew before, and this leaves only three Democrats. Exactly the same was made in Tennessee, except that one Republican from Texas is considered the great miracle of the election as great as was considered the election of a Democratic senator from Missouri in the Roosevelt landslide of 1904. South Dakota gave up its one Democrat and now has three Republican and West Virginia threw out M. M. Neely, a veteran Democrat so that the delegation of six could be entirely Republican. In Wisconsin three changes were made, but the delegation of eleven its entirely Republican. HOWARD DEFEATS HAMPTON. (Charles H. Williams) Hampton, Va. Nov. 14. The Hampton football team, fresh from its victory over Lincoln, journeyed to Washington accompanied by a loyal group of rooters, confident of "bringing home the bacon." The recent scores of the two teams indicated that a great struggle would be witnessed by the loyal supporters of the two teams. Only the first few minutes of the game bore out that indication. The hopes of the Hampton group were short-lived, as two touchdowns were made by Howard in the first half. Howard met little resistance from the Hampton eleven. The play of the "Seasiders" was a disap pointment to the host of spectators, because it lacked the fighting spirit which has characterized Hampton teams in days gone by. The Hampton players appeared to be suffering from stage fright, from which they never wholly recovered. Only brief flashes of the old Hampton spirit were seen. The Howard team, however backed by a large student body, who exhibited the most perfect cheering, played with a dash and aggressiveness that ewopt Hampton before them. It was mainly line plunging and end running that netted the three touchdowns for Howard. The elusiveness of the Howard backs, aided by poor tackling enabled them to get the first down almost at will. The game was clean played throughout. Hampton's defeat by Howard leaves only one opponent between Howard and the intercollegiate championship. Referee, G. C. Wilkinson; Umpire, A. K. Savoy; Headlinesman, Benjain Washington. Time of quarters, 15 minutes. Score. Howard 18; Hampton 0. WITH HORNS ENTANGLED DEER CLUBBED TO DEATH. Lynchburg, Va. Nov. 18—A story comes from lower Appomattox County describing the killing of a large deer there Tuesday by a man named Payne who clubbed the animal to death. Dogs chased the deer into some water and while fighting the dogs the horns of the deer became entangled in some brush. Mr. Payne approached and endeavored to use a club on the deer, when the animal tried to get at him. He finally killed the deer with the club. The deer dressed, weighed 160 pounds.
