The road events worked fast. The first car hit the switch at 9 o'clock. Ten minutes later it was sent speeding away and at 9:20 the second victim appeared at the switch and the passengers treated the same way. In the robbery of the first car, the robbers appeared from the roadside just as the car stowed to take the switch, and ordered the crew to hold up their hands. At the suggestion of the elating pistols the passengers were out to do likewise. They were told to file out of the car and line out outside. One man who resisted was knocked unconscious. After that there was no trouble. Two of the men in masks searched the victims, taking everything of value. A compilation revealed a loss running into several thousand. When the hold-up was completed the passengers were ordered back in to the car and the crew was told to make a quick get away. When the see and car arrived on the scene the same procedure was enacted.

J., Jan. 15. — Locked for nearly six hours in a hermetically sealed concrete and steel vault in the city treasurer's office last night, a knowledge of the Morse telegraph code saved the life of Arthur Brenner, assistant city treasurer, it became known today. A mouse, locked in at the same time failed to survive, and when Brenner was rescued its body was found. Brenner entered the vault, a room fifteen feet square and twenty feet high, 5 minutes before closing time overday, hunting for a warrant. While he was there, the big steel doors swung shut. He shouted for help with our attracting notice. The lights went out automatically as the doors shut. Brenner was on a balcony in the rear. He felt his way downstairs, pulled open every drawer and piled the books on the floor to get the maximum amount of air possible, and then slept for a while with his face as near the bottom of the door as possible on the assumption that a slight amount of air might get through at that point. When he awoke his hand came in contact with a wooden slat, and re menting that Charles Hockwald, a night watchman also could telegraph, he pounded out in Morse: "I am locked in." "Will get help." came the answer now. "I won't wait if I need to get ephoned for a man who knew the combination of the vault."

CLARA JOHNSON FOUND GUILTY OF MANNSLAUGHTER. Washington Riot Heroine, Who Shot Detective Invading Her Home, Breaks Down at Verdict, but Ls Cut on Bond Pending Appeal. Washington, D. C., January 19—The trial of Clara Johnson and her father, William Johnson charged with causing the death of Sergeant Harry Wilson of the detective force, on July 1, 1919 during the race trials, caused much concern in art sections of the city. Upon motion of the district attorney the charge of first degree murder against the father was ignored, however, counsel for the defense were not allowed to use this fact to oppose the charge of the government that the girl shot the detective. The young girl was tried on a charge of first degree murder. The jurors conferred and Clara Johnson was found guilty of manslaughter. The girl lore up remarkably well during the trying ordeal but after the towman of the jury had announced the verdict, she broke down and wept bitterly, having to be led from the courtroom by the matron. The trial began the early part of the week but owing to difficulty in obtaining a jury the taking of testimony was somewhat delayed. The prosecution charged that Detective Sergeant Wilson met his death as he entered the Johnson home in the street. A pistol battle is said to have caused, and Detective Wilson fell, mortally wounded. It is alleged that Johnson and his daughter were found hiding under a bed, and that an empty cartridge was found in a revolver in their home. The government's hardest proposition is to solve which it any, of the defendant's bullets killed the detective. Attorney Benjamin L. Gaskins and T. M. Watt son who defended Clara Johnson, contended that it was not possible to prove what shot struck the officer. Consel for the defense gave notice of their intention to ask for a new trial and Clara Johnson was released on bond. The Rev. W. H. Jernugn, pastor of the Mount Carmel Baptist Church and president of the National Race Congress, became surety for the accused. The citizens of Washington have proved themselves 100 per cent in coming to the aid of this unfortunate young girl, and every pressure is being brought to bear to see that she is freed. ```markdown ``` SENEGALESE QUELL BIOT --- French Black Troops Turn Machine Guns on Mutinous Cossacks.

S. Signal Corps in France. Mr. Clifford who is now getting but a Negro News reel in the order of the Pathe News desired to have some of these pictures in his first release which will be ready for distribution the first of February.

PRICE, FIVE CENTS NEGRO TENOR TAKES LONDON BY STORM. (from African and Oriental Review.) Mr. Rone and Hayes rewarded the patience of his growing pride by a see and recital, which he gave at Wigmore Hall on the evening of October 12. A large and enthusiastic audience was present to record its appreciation of a varied program, and it some of the applause was probably intended as a tribute to Mr. Hayes the man, more must have come from the large number of discriminating music lovers who have recently gained a true appreciation of a singer whose greatness we now venture with no undue timidity or procrastin. Before the close of the concert Mr. Hayes was presented with a large hearted wrench, and a thoral tribute was offered to Mr. Lawrence Brown has very able companion by appreciative crowd in the audience. When the concert was over a few of the most prominent and representative people of African origin in London headed by Mr. Archer (Anglo-Antiret) ex-Mayor of Battlessea, presented Mr. Hayes with an address which will be found on another page. The subscribers to the floral tribute were Duse Mohamed Ali (Ikgyng), who organized the presentation; Messrs W. F. Dove (Acera), R. Broadhurst (Sierra Leone) Claud Enmin (Wimmin) Chief Oluwa (Lagos), the Hon. Senator Massaquoi, Mr. Dockerson Fredericks (West Innes), Dr. O. Sapar and Mr. T. H. Doherty of Lagos. So great was the success of Mr. Hayes' concert that he was induced to give a third; secalon on the afternoon of November 20 before a large and demonstrative audience. With this their appearance he has so firmly established himself that he so firmly out of the many American singers now in London to sing "The Star Spangled Banner" at the Thanksgiving dinner arranged by the Angle Saxing dinner arranged by the Anglo-American Society. Among the guests were the American Ambassador and Mr. Davis. Mrs. H. Gordon Selfridge, Lady Rhondda, and a number of other perSONS are in event on both sides of the Atlantic. In the words of the Times a sort: The American national hymn was sung by Mr. Ronald Hayes a Negro. Time brings its strange revenges. Our critic writes: "Mr. Hayes wields an art of select instrument, a tenor voice of gentle frame, steady and consistent in both extremes, capable at will of rare sweetness or resonant power. He possesses also in superlative degree that quality which marks the owner of a voice an art—taste. A number which snacks or sophistication is attained for by a sincerity which as in the case of the Negro folk songs carries all before it. Mr. Hayes' program was evidently arranged with an eve to display his ethicology of ta te. Puercini's 'Chichemi erda' was given in Italian. Perfect conunciation and consummate tone control were the features of a distinguished rendering. His interpretation of a song by Reynaldo Saab was charistic; the institive imagination and taste of the artist directed by an objectively critical intelligence transformed this merely average example of a sterile French school. The most was made of two or three trifles which exhibited the modern ballad as a little better than its worst. They were loudly ensured. Tribute was paid to Coleridge-Taylor by the performance of two of his best songs, 'A Lament' and 'Life and Death' and the concert closed with the group of Negro folk songs which Mr. Hayes has introduced to London conservacoes. The musical content of these 'spirituals', though real, is rath or civilious in quality and affordsHit the mean for criticism. Mr. Hayes' in teperation endowed them with a musical interest scarcely less than any entirely distinct from their literary and sociological interest. Mr. Lawrence Brown assisted at the vision. The variety of good acquaintances is a secret that is too well kept by beaten critics and singers. Mr. Hayes has every reason to be satisfied with his good fortune in this respect. Mr. Brown is a superlatively good acquaintance. The elegance and finish which characterize his playing are no more surface accomplishment but are sympathetic of that smypothetic imageation which makes the perfect acquaintance. Both artists were given an ovation at the close."—V. II. HELP WANTED United Liberty Society needs 500 select women. Private families; $35.00. $40.00; $50.00; $60.00; $75.00. 1000 men. Big wages.

Summit, N. J. January 24.—Flip masked road agents operating after the fashion of the old-timma stage coach robbers, held up two trellis cars of the Morris County Traction Company on the lonely road leading to Springfield, N. J. lined up the passengers and crew by the roadside obtained $2,000 in cash and jewelry said to be worth several thousand dollars, additional, and made a clean get away Monday night. The road agents worked fast. The first car hit the switch at 9 o'clock. Ten minutes later it was sent speed away and at 9:30 the second vice appeared at the switch and the passengers treated the same way. In the robbery of the first car, the robbers appeared from the roadside just as the car stopped to take the switch, and ordered the crow to hold up their hands. At the suggestion of the glinting pistols the passengers were quick to do likewise. They were told to file out of the car and line up outside. One man who resisted was knocked unconscious. After that there was no trouble. Two of the men in masks searched the vietnamese, taking everything of value. A compilation revealed a loss running into several thousand. When the holdup was completed the passengers were ordered back in to the car and the crew was told to make a quick get away. When the see and car arrived on the scene the same procedure was enacted. Please have your home have special prayer for the Y. M. C. A. for needs to the God get hold of her. Safety First. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 29, 1921.

He felt his way down走廊, pulled open every drawer and piled the books on the floor to get the maximum amount of air possible, and then slept for a while with his face as near the bottom of the door as possible 'on the assumption that a slight amount of air might get through at that point. He awoke his hand came in contact with the shut, and so menulting that Charles Holwald a night watchman also could tie graph, he pounded out in Morse: "I am locked in."

CLARA JOHNSON FOUND GUILTY OF MANSLAUGHTER, Washington Riot Heroine, Who Shot Detective Invading Her Home, Break Down at Vertict, but Is Out on Bond Appeal. Washington, D. C., January 19—The trial of Clara Johnson and her father, William Johnson charged with causing the death of Sergeant Harry Wilson of the detective force, on July 2, 1919 during the race riots, caused much concern in all sections of the city. Upon motion of the district attorney the charge of first degree murder against the father was ignored, however, counsel for the defense were not allowed to use this fact to oppose the charge of the government that the girl shot the detective. The young girl was tried on a charge of first degree murder. The jurors conspired and Clara Johnson was found guilty of manslaughter. The girl; now up remarkably well during the trying ordal but after the fortune of the jury had announced the verdict, she broke down and wept bitterly, having to be led from the courtyard by a part of the week but owing to difficulty in obtaining a jury the taking of testimony was somewhat delayed. The prosecution charged that Detective Sergeant Wilson met his death as he entered the Johnson home in search of persons who had fired in to the street. A plotted battle is said to mortality wounded. It is alleged that Johnson and his daughter were found hiding under a bed, and that an empty cartridge was found in a revolver in their home. The government's hardest proposition is to solve which if any, of the defendant's bullets killed the detective. Attorney Benjamin L. Gaskins and M. T. Watson defended Clara Johnson, contended that it was not possible to prove what shot struck the officer, the defense claims the defense must give their intention to ask a jury trial and Clara Johnson was released on bond. The Rev. W. H. Jernagin, pastor of the Mount Cairn Baptist Church and president of the National Race Congress, became surety for the accused. The citizens of Washington have proved themselves 100 per cent in coming to the aid of this unfortunate young girl, and every pressure is being brought to hear to see that she is freed.

Williams Clifford, late first Lieutenant of Infantry and Special Representative of the Colored Soldiers in the Bureau of War Risk Insurance and now President and Administrative head of the Monumental Pictures Corporation, stated last night in an informal gathering of representative young men of his race, that he was chagrined and deeply hurt at not finding any action motion pictures of Negro Combat Units in the collection of motion pictures taken by the U. S. Signal Corps in France. Mr. Clifford who is now getting but a Negro News reel on the order of the Pathe News desired to have some of these pictures in his first release which will be ready for distribution the first of February. He was greatly disappointed in finding for the most part only pictures of the Negro labor and stewardson units building roads and handling supplies and of colored soldierse needing potatoes and logging. He stated that it was a terrible injustice to the courageous and hardworking achievements of the members of his research famous 15th Infantry of New York and other combat units that no pictures, other male showing their intrepid and dauntless bravery in action on the Western Front and which so materially contributed to the glorious victory, and to the protection of American honor and integrity.

SENT TO POORHOUSE, WOMAN 80 HAS $6,000 A woman about 80 years old, who had been living on charity for fifteen years, was taken recently to the New almshouse by neighbors, who feared she would starve to death. It was learned yesterday by the almshouse authorities that she had $6,000 in bills and gold coin. When a question was raised as to her admittance to the almshouse the woman finally admitted to the superintendent that she had "some money" in a trunk in the home of a sister. The trunk which was in an attic had not been opened for twenty years. It it were $2,000 worth of $5 gold pieces each wrapped in tissue paper. The rest was in bills. PRICE, FIVE CENT NEGRO TENOR TAKES LONDON BY STORM. (From Africa and Oriental Review.) Mr. Ro. and Hayes rewarded the patience of his growing public by a see and recital, which he gave at Wigmore Hall on the evening of October 25. A large and enthusiastic audience of a varied group to record its appreciation of a varied performance, some of the applause was probably included as a tribute to Mr. Hayes the man, more must have come from the large number of discriminating music lovers who have already gained a true ap preciation of a singer whose greatness we now venture with no undue timidity to promote. Before the close of the concert Mr. Hayes was presented with a large historic floral focal ribute offered to Mr. Lawrences Brown has very able accompaniment to appreciate five sights in the audience. When the concert was over a few of the most prominent and representative people of African origin in London headed by Mr. Archer (Anglo-Saxon ex-Mayor of Battersea, presented Mr. Archer with an address which will be found on his website). The subcribers to the floral ritual were Duse Mohamed Ali (kggyg), who organized the presentation; Messrs G. and H. O'Dwyer (Calgarh); W. F. Dove (Acera), B. Broadhurst (Sierra Leone) Claud Emmil (Wimmi-Chief Oluwa (Lagos), the Hon. Sultan Muhammad Quequol, Mr. Dickerson Fredericks (West Indies), Dr. S. Spar and Mr. T. H. Doherty of Lugos. So great was the success of Mr. Hayes' concert, that he was induced to give a third vocal on the afternoon of November 20 before a large and demonstrative audience. With this their appearance he has so firmly established himself that he was so seated out of the many American singers now in London to sing "The Star Spangled Banner" at the Thanksgiving dinner arranged by the Anglo-Saxon Dinner arranged by the Anglo-American Society. Among the guests were the American Ambassador and Mr. Davia. Mrs. H. Gordon Selfridge, Lady Rhondda, and a number of other per sonages prominent on both sides of the Atlantic. In the words of the Times report: The American national hymn was sung by Mr. Roald Hayes a Negro. The music brings its strange references. Our critie writes: "Mr. Hayes wields an almost perfect instrument, a tenor voice of chaste range, steady and consistent as both extremes, capable at will of rare sweetness or resonant power. He possess also in superlative degree that quality which marks the owner of a voice an artist—taste. A number which snacks of sophistication in attuned for by a sincerity which as is the case of the Negro folk songs carries all before it. Mr. Hayes' program was evidently arranged with an eye to displaying his enthology of taste. Puccini's *Chéla* 'creda' was given in Italian. Performative communication and consumate tone control were the features of a distinguished rendering. His interpretation of a song by Reginaldo Sahua was char acteristic; the instinctive imagination and taste of the artist directed by an objectively critical intelligence trans formed this merely average example of a sterile French school. The most was made of two or three titles which exhibited the modern ballet at a little better than 'its worst. They were loudened尝. 'Tribute was paid to Colteridge-Taylor by the performance of two of his best songs.,' 'A Lament' and 'Life and Death' and the concert closed with the group of Negro folk songs which Mr. Hayes has introduced to London concertsors. The musical content of their tunes, 'though real, is rath or obsession' and affords it the meat for critics' praise and has a musical interest scarcely less than any entirely distinct from their literary and sociological interest. Mr. Lawrence Brown assisted at the pinion. The variety of good accompanists is a secret that is too well kept between critics and singers. Mr. Hayes has every reason to be satisfied with his good fortune in this respect. Mr. Brown is a superlatively good accompanist. The elegance and finish which characterizes his playing are no mere surface accomplishment but are sympathetic of that sympathetic image which makes the perfect new companion. Both artists were given an ovation at the close." — V. H. United Liberty Society needs 500 select women. Private families; $35.00. $40.00; $50.00; $60.00; $75.00. 1000 men. Big wages.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES One Year ..... $ 2.00 A Month ..... 1.10 Three Months ..... .00 Foreign Subscriptions ..... 2.59 SATURDAY... JANUARY 29, 1921 DR. DU BOIS AND MR GARVEY. Dr. W. E. B. Du Dois writes entertainly concerning Mr. Marcus Garvey and his enterprises. His language though is of a kind and character that tend to drive away recruits from this brainy West Indian rather than help the organizations of which he is the originator and chief advocate. He "dams with faint praise" the leader of the movement. In the January number of the New York Crisis, he says: This is a great, human service; but when Garvey forges ahead and almost single handed attempts to realize his dream in a few years, with large words and wild gestures, he grievously minimizes his task and endangers his cause. Dr. Du Bois virtually says that this man, Garvey has forged ahead single handed, organizing the colored people of the country, commonly called by him and others. Negroes; collected money, established roomy headquarters in New York, purchased a vessel, which vessel was in an unseaworthy condition, secured a black crew, with a Negro captain, which captain has been able to keep afloat an unseaworthy vessel, which was commonly reported to be in a sinking condition and secured control of other vessels and Dr. W. A. B. Du Bois would assail a man of the transcendent genius for the reason that he has attempted single handed to realize his dream and with large words and wild gestures has grievously minimized the task, and endangered his cause. We must admit that we cannot see how the distinguished man of doctors can justify his attack upon any such basis of reasoning. If Marcus Garvey has endangered his cause by his course and conduct, what has Dr. W. F. Du Bois done by virtue of the vitriolic, but masterly attack he has made, against this former humble West Indian who believes that he is about to realize partially at least some part of the dream that he has been dreaming? If Marcus Garvey is endangering his cause, then W. E. B. Du Bois is seeking to destroy this same cause while at the same time proclaiming that the failure of the plans of Garvey would result in un told. Injury to the race with which we are all identified. It is about the same thing should a colored man attempt to walk a tight rope stretched across populous Broadway and a crowd of colored people, instead of holding their breath or shouting words of encouragement to the daring acrobat, should call out to him that he was courting disaster and was sure to fall. Dr. Du Bois continues: To instance one illustrative fact: there is no doubt but what Garvey has sought to import to America and capitalize the antagonism between blacks and mulattoes in the West Indies. This has been the cause of the West Indian failures to gain headway against the whites. Yet Garvey imports it into a land where it has never had any substantial footing where today of all days, it is absolutely repudiated by every thinking Negro Garvey capitalizes it, has sought to get the cooperation of men like R. R. Moton on this basis and has aroused more bitter color emptily inside the race than has ever before existed. The whites are delighted at the prospect of a division of our solidifying phalanx but their hopes are vain, American Negroes recognize no color line in or out of the race, and they will in the end punish the man who attempts to establish it. What do the whites care as to how the division is brought about? Is not division just as much a division along the lines of attack now being chosen and fostered by the distinguished man of lettu as it is if based upon the question of blacks and muskets? But is it a fact that Garvey has drawn the color line within his own organization? Is it true that he has outlawed Negroes, who are called Negroes in this country? We are re- hably informed that the colors of the colors of the rainbow, so far as Negroes are concoored are as noticeable in Africa as they are in this country. So far as we are concerned, we can have no sympathy for any reference to color inside of the lines of a race, whose sufferings have been one and the same regardless of color or nationality. If Marcus Garvey is chargeable with this offense, he has made a grievous misbake, for which we hope he will atone. We know that "we are as prone to err as the sparks are to fly upward." Dr. Du Bois says further: Thon too Garvey increases his dif ficulties in other d rections. He is a British subject. He wants to trade in British territory. Why then does he needlessly antagonize and even insult Britian? he wants to unite all Negroes. Why then does he sneer at the work of the powerful group of his race in the United States where he finds asylum and sympathy? Particularly, why does he decry the excellent and rising business enterprises of Harlam—intimating that his schemes alone are honest and sound when the facts flatly contradict him? He proposes to settle his headquarters in L伯莱—but has he asked permission of the Libertian government? Does he presume to usurp authority in a land which has successfully withstood Eng land, France and the United States,—but is expected tamely to submit to Marcus Garvey? How long does Mr Garvey think that President King would permit his anti-English propa ganda on Liberian soil, when the government is straining every nerve to escape the Lion's Paw? This is a citation of mistakes or blunders said to have been made by Mr. Marcus Garvey. Why not approach these blunders in a spirit of helpfulness and bring this alleged head-strong leader to a realization of his mistakes without openly attacking him in such a manner as to destroy all of the work of himself and his associates? This may be the beginning of the end of the life-work of Marcus Garvey; but the disaster, which may follow can truthfully be laid at the door of Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois and that powerful weapon for good or ill, the New York Crisis. He elinches his last charge in the following cause accusing language: And finally, without arms, money, effective organization or base of operations, Mr. Garvey openly and wildly talks of "Conquest" and of telling white Europeans in Africa to "get out!" and of becoming himself a black Napoleon. If he has read history and has studied the life of Toussaint L'Ouverture, is there any reason to blame him for "dreaming dreams and seeing visions?" Then Dr. W. E. B. DuBois proceeds to indulge in the language of the theorist. Here is what he says: Suppose Mr. Garvey should drop from the clouds and concentrate on his industrial schemes as a practical first step toward his dream; the first duty of a great commercial enterprise is to carry on effective commerce. A man who sees in industry the key to a situation, must establish sufficient business-like industries. Here Mr. Garvey has failed lamentably. This basic principle is fundamental and is as true as Holy Writ, but there are modifying conditions. A white business like industry will patronize the steamship line of the Universal Negro Improvement Association Just as quickly as they will use a truck owned and manned by a Negro corporation of a Negro individual, so that it is not necessary for Negroes to own the business in order for these vessels to do business, although the Negroes must get into business if they expect to engage profitably in commerce, Dr. Du Bois says: The Yarmouth, for instance, has not been a commercial success. Stories have been published alleging "to dirty condition and the inexcusable conduct of its captain and crow. To this Mr. Garvey may reply that it was no easy matter to get efficient persons to run his boats and to keep a schedule. This is certainly true, but if it is difficult to secure one black crow, how much more difficult is it going to be to "build and operate fao towers" in the big industrial centers of the United States, Central America, the West Indies and Africa to manufacture every marketable commodity and also "to purchase and build ships of larger tonnage for the African and South American trade?" and also to false "Five Million Dollars to free Liberia" where "new buildings are to be created, administrative buildings are to be built, colleges and universities are to be constructed?" and finally to accomplish what Mr. Garvey calls the "Conquest of Africa!" Dr. Du Bois assumes the role of a cynic. He overlooks the fact that a child must crawl before it can walk; that we must have commercial failures before we can have commercial successes; that this country was found ed upon the picked skeletons of the early settlers and that the wreckage of many a vessel dotted our shores. But this did not cause one set of colonists to desory and minimize the efforts of the other set, who had come to disaster before. Colored folks placed throughout this country were in a dirty condition before they learned the white man's method of keeping them as clean and as neat as a pin. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA We regard this black crow and black officers secured by Marcus Garvey as being closely akin to a seven days' wonder. They shoved out from shore in the New York harbor with a million dollar cargo of whiskey and wines, loaded down so heavily that the loss of the ship was reported, but it made port and the black crew must have kept sober enough to have made the run, else they would now have been in "Davy Jones locker" at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. Criticism of this kind reminds us of the story told of the saluted Abraham Lincoln, Gen. U. S. Grant had many enemies at the National Capital and the charges made were that Gen. Grant was a drunkard and unfit to command the Union Army. President Lincoln in reply to one of those criticisms wrote that he would be glad to find out what brand of whiskey was used by Gen. Grant, roth he would like to ship a barrel of it to each one of his other generals. We felt like saying the same thing about the officers shrdl cnfwyp vbkgk xzdf the efficiency, the conduct and the trick of cleanliness of this black crew that Garvey had secured to make the trips with this the largest of his vessels. The point in this was that President Lincoln wanted results. While other generals were planning and delaying, delaying and planning, Gen. U. S. Grant was bringing results, which resulted in a reply to his critics and to the Commander-in-Chief of the armies of the United States. "I shall fight it out on this line, if it takes all Summer." The historian re marked, "It took all Summer and Winter too." It resulted though in success. Marcus Garvey is tolerating dirty conditions on the Yarmouth. He is making spectacular appeals to the populace. He is indulging in bellicose language in one section of the country and persuasive language in some other. He is appealing to the tastes on the filiterate and to the imaginations of the dreamy, but all of those to whom he is appealing have the money with which to launch and foster his enterprises and they seem to be willing to part with it in order to make his success possible. Sometimes, he appears in the gorgeous robes of his office and then again, he is seen on Broadway wearing a green shirt, idolized by the thousands of admirers who, like Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois, in one respect in that they too believe that he is sincere and honest. While all of this is going on, his educated orities, those of the improved type, cultivated and exclusive are considering plans, which if Garvoy would accept are assorted to be sure to bring permanent success. But Marcus Garvoy is already using a set of tools, plans, that will work for he is using them with satisfactory results. He is unwilling to cast them aside for power tools, plans, which the originators themselves have never used and whose use might endanger the success of the whole movement, although they might finally prove a success. Finally, he asks himself the question, why these people, if these Du Boks plans are all that they claim them to be do not use them themselves and reap the financial harvest that they are sure to bring to the possessors? But Marcus Garvey knows that money for any racial enterprise is about the last thing that can be obtained from leaders of this type. It is to be regretted, but every colored leader in the country, who has led the way in material and practical accomplishments knows this to be true. But Dr. Du Bois decides to be fair and it is the tribute like the following which has induced us to analyze all that he has been unkind enough to say concerning this remarkable British West Indian who has seen fit to make his home in the United States of America. He remarks: To sum up: Garvey is a sincere, hardworking idealist; he is also a stubborn domineering leader of the mass; he has worthy industrial and commercial schemes but he is an in experienced business man. His dreams of Negro industry, commerce and the ultimate freedom of Africa are feasible; but his methods are bumastic, wastoful, illogical and ineffective and almost illegal. If he learns by experience, attracts strong and capable friends instead of making needless enemies; if he gives up sorcery and suspicion and substitutes open and frank reports as to his in come and expenses, and above all if he is willing to be a co-worker and not a carer he may yet in time succeed in at least starting some of his schemes toward accomplishment. But unless he does these things and does them quickly he cannot escape failure. This then is the conclusion of W. E. B. Du Bols, the idealist, the theorist, the lecturer, the talker, the trained scholar, the intellectual giant of the Colored race, the economist, the statistician and the historian. He is in a class to himself in any of these particular lines. But in the field of active endeavor, the arena of practical accomplishments, free from all entangling alliances and standing out first and foremost upon his own plat form of practical achievements, where is he in comparison with his humble son of the tropics? But we want to conclude his remarkable article and we have taken palms to quote every line that he has written in order that we might not give to our readers any garbled extract of any thing which he has been merciless enough to say. Here is his con quision: Let the followers of Mr. Garvey insist that he get down to bed-rock business and make income and expense balance: let them gag Garvey's wilder words, and preserve his wide power and influence. American Negro leaders are not jealous of Garvey —they are not anxious of his success; they are simply afraid of his failure; for his failure would be photos. He can have all the power and money that he can efficiently and Honestly use, and if in addition he wants to prince down Broadway in a green shirt, let him—but do not let him foolishly overwhelm with bankruptcy and disaster one of the most interesting spiritual movements of the modern Negro World. It seems to us that he admits the force of our argument when he calls upon the followers of Mr. Garvey to make the same demands within the organization that he has seen fit to demand outside of the organization. He has "put the cart before the horse." He should have taken this position before he wrote the argument. If he did take it, then, "silence would have been golden" and he could have sat down within his own office and waited for the day that would have spelled "disaster" for Mavens Garvey and for those who were simple enough to follow him. But now, failure, if it comes will be laid at Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois' door at Roscoe C. Simmons' office and last of all at the door or the alleged area conspirator, who according to W. E. B. Du Bois, encompassed his own downfall. To draw our own conclusion, we believe in carrying out the literal practice of each Negro leader "shining on his own side." Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois has his particular field. It is that of letters. Let him remain where he is pre-eminent. Dr. R. R. Moton is the recognized author key on industrial matters, let him confine himself to industrial work. Roscoe C. Simmons is an orator of transcendent ability in the field of oratory. Let him continue to talk in the rhythmic language for which he is noted and let him steer clear of vilaperation. Garvey's drives for money cannot affect his lecture receipts. In that realm of endeavor, he is secure. If we shall all agree not to encroach up on the legitimate field of the other and demonstrate that we are disposed to build up rather than to destroy, we see the dawn of a brighter day for the colored people, not only in this country, but for the dark races of the world. What we have said concerning these well known gentlemen applies to the commercial wizard, who now seems to be shedding a halo of light in the business firmament. His success will neither lessen the light from Jupiter planet, Du Bols, but will cause millions to look up and wonder and think and think and wonder and finally be nerved to commercial endeavors, which may bring into being the success, which Du Bols hopes to see exist in this world. Let us have peace. Good-bye, W. E. B. Du Bois! Fare-well, Marcus Garvey! TROUBLE IN NORLINA It is a strange story that comes from Norglina, North Carolina, where Alfred Williams and Plummer Bullock, two colored men were lynched on the early morning of January 24th 1921. Five white men and three colored men were wounded and two probably fatally injured. A colored man purchased ten cents worth of apples from a white man and because they were unsatisfactory, he wanted his money back. The colored man is alleged to have cursed the white man and with a report that the Negroes were organizing white men began a campaign, which has resulted in injury, loss of life, the expense of troops rushed to the scene and an inestimable damage to the good name of the community. It seems that some white people will never learn common-sense and some colored folks will continue to in dulge in foolishness. It seems to us that this inter-racial movement now being organized throughout the South land is the host method to deal with the state of acairs. Irresponsible white folks and worthless colored ones can plunge a community on a moment's notice into a whirl-pool of excitement and blood-shed. As to whether the white man or the colored one instigated the trouble is of small moment, the fact is that thousands of dollars worth of damage has been done about absolutely nothing. The religion of Jesus Christ is all right, but it needs practical application and it should be put into operation through a co-operative movement between the better elements of white and colored people. As for the mob and its leaders, the law should deal with them to the end that Democratie North Carolina may continue to maintain its high standard in behalf of law and order. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is doing a great work for the race and it should be supported. --- President-elect Warren G. Harding is now taking a much needed rest be fore entering upon his duties as head of the Nation. If he can be ready by March 4th, all will be well with him. --- Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois is a great leader. Let him remain great and devote his time to something else rather than to fighting Marcus Garvey and let Marcus Garvey cease his attacks on Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois and devote his time and talent to the organizing work of his great organization. But this is only a matter of advice and opinion. These two individuals have the right and on joy the privilege to do to suit themselves. HAMPTON DEFEATS SIJAW (By Charles H. Williams.) Hampton, Va., January.—The Shaw University quintet went down to defeat for the second time this season before the onslaught of the Hampton Institute basketball tossers on Friday night, January 21. The game was played in the spacious Raleigh City auditorium which is considered one of the best basketball courts in the country. Even the weather man was kind. One of the largest and most enthusiatic crowds that ever attended a game in Raleigh was on hand to cheer Shaw on to victory. There was confidence because Shaw had lost to Hampon 17 to 18 on the latter's court during the holiday game, and because the Shaw team is considered this year the best ever turned out at the University. At the sound of the referee's whistle, Raleigh's greatest game of the season was on. Hampton began the scoring and kept the lead until the last minute of the first half when Hardy made a long basket, giving Shaw a 11 to 10 lead. This spectacular performance brought the great crowd to its feet. At this time there was wild rejoicing. During the inter mission the University band enlivened the occasion. The joy of the Shaw rooters was of brief duration, however, for at the beginning of the second half the Hampton five opened with a dash that held the spectators breathless and dazzled the Shaw players. Hampton's passing and shooting with her great defensive playing in this half, held Shaw to five points, while she rolled up eighteen points. It was evident soon after the opening of this half that the "Seasiders" had the better team and that the hopes of the Shaw followers would not be realized this season. Hardy, a former Hampton player, was easily the star for the local team while the entire Hampton aggregation played as a machine. The guarding of both deams was close, which made the playing at times rough. There was fine spirit, however, throughout the game, and the Shaw rooters' declared at the sound of the timekeepers' whistle, that the better team had HAMPTON --28--McLaren, R F.; Long, L.

Property Damage of Approximately $200,000 Resulted in Blow-Up Occurring at Plant of Colyar Reese Company Early Yesterday Morning. Memphis, Tenn., January 24.—Tom Negroes dead, approximately a score injured, some probably fatally injured, property damage estimated at $200,000 made up the known toll tonight of an explosion of "casing head" gasoline awaiting unloading from a tank car to the plant of the Colyar Reese Company in North Memphis, which let go this morning, with a blast that wrecked a part of the oil plant, leveled a block of frame dwellings and shook the entire north end of the city. Of the injured two are white persons—L. C. Scott, superintendent of the Reese plant, and L. C. Wilder, truck superintendent. Both were badly burned but physicians stated to night they will recover. Colyar Reese, president of the oil company, attributed the exposition to spontaneous combustion due to the contact of vapor escaping from the tank car when the metallic cap, removed preparatory to unloading the car, came in contact with the atmosphere. The tank which contained 8,000 gallons of casing head gasoline, produced by the absorption process, was shipped here from Kelleysville, Okla., Mr. Reese stated, and was loaded in a low temperature. When the cap was removed, according to this theory, the vapor came in contact with much high or atmospheric conditions here and the explosion followed. It was stated that representatives of the United States Bureau of Explosives and experts from the refinery from which the car was shipped will arrive tomorrow to definitely determine the cause of the blast. When the explosion let go a row of frame tenement houses along a block were splintered and the occupants blown to the street or caught under the falling timbers. Most of those killed outright were badly mangled, several of the injured were so badly burned they died soon after reaching a hospital. When police and firemen reached the scene the streets and alleys in the vicinity were littered with splintered timbers and torn and twisted household goods, with the dead and injured caught in the tangled mass of wreckage. Andrew McKinley, colored, who removed the dome from the tank car when the explosion occurred was hurled several hundred feet through the air. He was badly burned and died tonight. McKinley was quoted as saying that when he removed the cap gas, rose to a height of twenty feet and formed a pall of black smoke which ignited and expoded. Almost simultaneously, pools of oil on the ground caught fire and a second explosion occurred. One report was that McKinley used a chisel in attempts to remove the cap from the car. This however, has not been verified. Mr. Reese stated that his investigation disproved any theory other than the explosion was caused by spontaneous combustion. Besides the damage in the immediate vicinity, window glasses within a radius of several blocks were shattered by the concussion, which was felt a distance of half a mile from the scene. Two sheds at the plant of Colyar Reese were lifted from their foundations and placed in a heaf. Fire, which followed in the wake of the explosion, completed the work of destruction. The flames were checked, however, before dacy spread beyond the splintered wreckage of the ill-fated dwellings. BANK ACCOUNTS ESSENTIAL IN THRIFT EDUCATION. The School savings bank is an important factor in an educational system which should encourage the saving habit among children, says Asher J. Jacoby, Superintendent of Schools, Elmira, N. Y. in commenting upon the long standing interest on the American Bankers Association, Savings Bank Division and its many thousands of member banks. He writes: "An experience of nineteen years with school savings banking has greatly strengthened my first conviction that they could be made to serve a most useful purpose in public education. Saving is necessary to thrift and the welfare of a community depends upon the intelligence and the uprightness of its people and upon their thrift. The school savings bank helps in a very concrete way to develop such traits and qualities. The school savings banking system provides an easy and attractive way for the children to deposit their money, which otherwise they might spend for things merely to gratify a passing whim, and of little or no value to them. Besides, depositing money in a bank where it increases in amount through interest additions, impresses upon the children the value of proper care of their savings. A bank account gives children, as it does adults, a sense of proprietorship and responsibility, and a sense of security for the future, which they may not have possessed. The need of thrift teaching in our schools has been recognized for a long time by our foremost educators. The school savings bank is a help in bringing home to the children the need of economy on the money side and what economy should mean to the individual and to the people as a whole. The school savings bank helps the school to teach the value of money as a means to right living. It is not to enough to teach children how to save money. We must teach them how to spend money as well. The school should teach them the distinction between spending money for things necessary for one's welfare and for things wanted but not needed; between what is beneficial and what is detrimental; and between spending which benefits others and that which is selfish. It should stress the real value of money to the individual and as a means of community development along economic lines. It should em phasize the truth that there cannot be proper saving without honest earning and right spending. It is just as legitimate for the school to give in instruction regarding these things as it is to teach the fundamental studies. But thrift teaching should include more than the mere saving of money. Thrift means care and prudence in the management of all our resources material, physical, mental and moral. In brief, it is the right use and saving of all we have. The school should each children how to use books and materials. It must plan its daily programs to get the best results each minute of the day. It must teach the best methods of study and in other ways help the children to help them selves to the greatest possible extent without waste of time and energy. It must develop and grah their characters so that they may be useful and helpful to their fellows and to themselves. All this should be a part of our thrift program. The school savings bank is an important factor in this program." DOWN GO BADGE PRICES! LODGES TAKE NOTICE Big reduction in prices on badges. Get our price list for your society and save money.

HENRY LINCOLN JOHNSON'S TESTIMONY A Fearless and Vivid Description of the Political Situation in Georgia. (Continued From Last Week) Senator Reed. You don't want it when you get $9,000 in a chuk? Mr. Johnson. Not a bit, especially when I have to contend with things such as I meet in Georgia, Senator; I need $50,000 Senator Reed. Well, it would be kept quite pure when it is in your hands. Mr. Johnson. Well, it is a question of a little money and force against the Constitution and laws of your country. Take your choice. The Chairman. Before you get away from that I want to ask you: Do you know how many Federal officials were on the Democratic delegation to San Francisco? Mr. Johnson. A majority of them, as I am informed and believe, it was generally run, in the campaign in Georgia, by the administration forces in Atlanta; there is Mr. Hooper Alexander, and Mr. Bialock—we generally call him "Bub" Bialock; he is the collector of internal revenue of Georgin. The Chairman. Were they on the Democratic delegation? Mr. Johnson. Yes; and they ran the whole thing; they ran all the Hoke Smith and the Watson people out. The Chairman. You know the Democratic delegation to San Francisco, I wish you would give us the Federal officials or postmasters, and those connected with the Department of Justice in any way. Mr. Johnson. Well, I understand generally that the administration and the officeholders generally ran the thing. If I could have a list of it I could identify every one of them, because I believe, I know everybody in Georg'a, white and colored. The Chairman. Do you say that the majority of them were officeholders? Mr. Johnson. Yes, and they ran it. And Mr. Fleming, of Atlanta, Ga., who was chairman, was admitted under the influence of Mr. Stovall, Mr. Pleasant A. Stovall, editor of the morning paper there, who was formerly minister to Switzerland and who came to see that the job was done right; that is, Pleasant A. Stovall of Savannah, Ga. And they ran out the Hoke-Smith Hardwick-Watson combination. The officeholders ran it. They ran the whole State, and they ran the other follows out, notwithstanding they said they had the majority. Our steam roller here was an institution of benevolence compared to the steam roller there, because Mr. Charlie Barrett, who was the chairman of the Tom Watson-Hoke Smith delegation, and who is the president of the National Farmers Alliance, told me that it was an institution of benevolence as compared to anything that was done there. That is what they said about the Republican situation here. The Chairman. He was on the Watson delegation? Mr. Johnson. Oh, h₀ was the chairman of the delegation? The Chairman. He was the chairman of the Watson delegation? Mr. Johnson. Yes, he was the chairman of the Watson delegation, and my good friend? The Chairman. How did the Watson-Hoke Smith vote compare with the Palmer vote? Mr. Johnson. Well, the Watsonskio Smith combination had the people. They had a great majority of the people and they really had the majority of the delegates but the Democratic officeholding administration machine invoked what they called rule 2 and under rule 12; notwithstanding the majority in a county would for Hoke Smith, or for Hardwick for Tom Watson, they just turned majority into a minority and appointed their administration forces, and they went there for Palmer and they were seated, and the other follows were turned out. We have done such outrage here at the Republican convention. The Chairman. Were there any disc set attorneys, or anybody connect with the Department of Justice on a delegation from Georgia? Mr. Johnson. Not that I recall. I don't know if Mr. Hooper Alexander is there; he is the district attorney of the northern district of Georgia, and considerable troubles of my, Senator. The Chairman. I am asking you at you observed? Mr. Johnson. Mr. Hooper Alexander was the storm center; he was aning things. The Chairman. Were there any inigators or employees of the Department of Justice throughout the working for Mr. Palmer? ir. Johnson. Yes, the State was jeycombed with them. the Chairman. The State was honoured with them? Mr. Johnson. I used to travel from part of the State in my autumn to the other and I would meet in all down the road, and they ask me what did I think about thing, and to put in a little word. Strange as it seems, I have got a good friends among the white people in Georgia. the Chairman. I want to get that you meet employees of the Department of Justice, investigators or thing else, working through Geor for a Palmer delegation? Home State. Mr. Johnson. Well, I couldn't say as to that Senator. I wouldn't want to say to that. The Chairman. Well, you said it was honeycombed with them... What did you mean by that? Mr. Johnson. Yes; but when it comes to the direct employees of the department of Justice, as to identify a particular man as doing a paricular stunt for his boss, I wouldn't say anything about that. The Chairman. Well, did you see Government employees spending their time in that way? Mr. Johnson. Well, I don't call to mind now. The Chairman. But your impression is that there were many of them? Mr. Johnson. Yes, sir. Now, I have been in this thing ever since I left school, Senator, and I have been a delegate, and all these things, and this is the most economical campaign that we have ever waged. It was the most economical campaign that we have ever been in, and so far as our side of this business is concerned, my money wa more or less given to me; the leader was my selection as national committeeman, and Sena'or, you can see how that thing manifested itself. The thing was carried at last to the floor of the Republican convention, the first time in the history of the Republican Party, and it was not so much against electing a man, but it is the race hate, and this proposition of race hate, the interminal, the ungodly race hate, and they forget God, and they forget Chateau Thierry and they forcet no man's land. they forget Chateau Thierry and they forget no man's land. Senator Spencer. Is that true on both sides? Mr. Johnson. No, sir; it was truly as to me. Senator Spencer. Well, I mean now race hate. Is there a corresponding race hate among the colored people, as there is among the white? Mr. Johnson. None whatever. We have the spirit, and I speak in that spirit, of "Forgive them Lord, for they known not what they do." Senator Spencer. What did you mean when you said that under rule 12 when a county would give a majority for Senator Smith or Senator Hardwick the county delegates would be counted against them, and for Palmer? Mr. Johnson. Now, the operation of rule 12 among the Democrats, as mar as I can understand it, is this: The Tom Watson and the Hoke Smith crowd contended for what they call the county unit plan; that if they got the majority in a number of county units, taking the county as a halt, they really had the State. But if you take a county like Fulton County, Ga., where the Democrats would poll about 15,000 votes in that one county in the primary and that would equal all the votes that you would ever poll in the entire ninth district, for instance, because there were some counties so sparsely settled that even the Democrats could not get a delegate down from there, like the mountain counties, and Tom Watson had a majority of those little counties. Senator Spencer. But that didn't do him any good, because the majority in the other counties— Mr. Johnson. The majority in one county would cover more than Sona tor Watson would get in the whole district. They had several candidates for President down in Georgia, but some didn't quite develop among the Democrats. Senator Spencer. Do you see any practical way by which the Congress of the United States could regulate the expenditures of money for presidential candidates? Mr. Johnson. I do not. I do not Senator. You take the primaries; the primaries have been the most unsatisfactory means of determining the public will of any institution. The Chairman. Did you say unsatisfactory? Mr. Johnson. Unsatisfactory. It was certainly unsatisfactory in the State of Maryland, where less than one-third of the Republican vote in that Commonwealth came out. The Chairman. Well, do you think it is less satisfactory than to have some few men in the back room deter mining nominations? Mr. Johnson. Well, personally, Senator, I am of the opinion that the people like leadership; that the people like a good, strong robust leadership. The Chairman. They like to put it in the bosses hands and take it away from the people? Mr. Johnson. Yes sir; it is my personal opinion that where they have a strong leader in whom they have confidence, I think they would rather have that than anything else. The Chairman. Well, isn't that the very thing that you are complaining of about the white people in Georgia taking it away from the hands of the people? Mr. Johnson. No; one is an appeal to reason, and the other is appeal to force. The Chairman. Well, principles need some changes, but I am sorry to hear you advocating taking this power away from the people. Mr. Johnson. Not at all, Senator. I don't mean that. I mean such lead THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA If you are reliable and can prove it, we can show you how to make $80 to $100 a month, without interfering with your present occupation.

You take the primary away from them, and where do they have any chance? Mr. Johnson. Now, the primary in some other way, if it will be reduced to a matter of local leadership, Senator. I think that should be done. The Chairman. Of course, there is an effort all over the country now by the political bosses to get away from the primary and I hope you are not going to join that movement. Mr. Johnson. Don't you think, Senator that if the primary in a state were centered upon some local man—I mean the primary so far as the direct primary for the presidency is concerned—that that is all right, but where there are a lot of names and candidates the people don't know, and don't have confidence in, it is not so good. Now, where people have confidence in a particular man there you have good results with the primary, and there it ought to be had. The Chairman. Where you have a long list of men to nominate there may be faults in that; people may not know who they are; but you would not take the primary away for the nomination for President or Senator or governor, or in cases of that kind? Mr. Johnson. Not the presidential primary; no. I thought your question related to the primary itself. That gets the thing all mixed up. I think the people like to repose some trust and judgment in their accredit leaders. I am of that abundant opinion—it may be in error—but I do believe that even today, Senator, under the enlightenment that we all have, that the people themselves still wish to repose some confidence and trust in their public servants. The Chairman. Well, I hope for the sake of your people that you will not join in this movement to get rid of the primaries in this country. Mr. Johnson. Well, now, that is the presidential primary, Senator. I don't want to see the presidential primary taken away. The Chairman. Don't you think we can have a presidential primary and vote get over the United States on the same day and have some limitation of expenses, though not an unreasonable limitation, for there has got to be a lot of money spent—a lot of it—but in legitimate ways? Mr. Johnson. Senator, I don't see how that will be. It would not leave anything for the election in November. There is no use of having two elections then. The Chairman. Well, you merely choose within your party. Of course, in the South the Democrats control. Mr. Johnson. I agree with the Senator's views in regard to the presidential primary, but in a State, with in the State, where the neighbors of a man know him and have respect for and confidence in him, let the party put that man forward and trust him to go to a convention and to do the square thing for all the people. The Chairman. The primary will do that, won't it? Mr. Johnson. Well, now Senator, you get it all mixed up and tangled. The Chairman. I know; I know. I am just against this campaign that is going on all over this country to get rid of the primary. It is the political bosses who are doing it, and apparently may have some success with it, but it will be done after a fight. Mr. Johnson. Well, it may be devised so they can go to the men in the State and leave it to their judgment and leave them some discretion as to leadership; then I think it will be all right. The Chairman. Well, let us get back here now to something else. We agree pretty well on most things. When Mr. Karnes was before us he gave us what he claimed was the Hitchcock plan in the South. Mr. Johnson. Yes. The Chairman. That is, to get control of these delegates. Mr. Johnson. That is what it was, Senator. The Chairman. And finance them, but without being for any particular candidate. Mr. Johnson. That is why I told you about the Dublin business when you asked me whether Clark Grler was for Gen. Wood. There was a group of men—you take Mr. Bean, of Florida, national committeeman from Florida, and Capt. Henry Blun of Savannah, Ga., and Mr. Sidney Hieber, of Washington, former member of the national committee, district Columbia; Cole, former assistant postmaster at Atlanta, Ga., under Gen. Hitchcock—now those men did not care anything about Gen. Wood or anybody else. They just said: "We will just get a delegation over here and turn it over to Gen. Hitchcock and let him manage it and run it." The Chairman. Mr. Cole is the gentleman referred to as having con siderable money by Mr. Karnes. Mr. Johnson. Yes. The Chairman. Now, that was the method of doing the work in the South, was it? Mr. Johnson. No; in Georgia. I can only speak of what I have personal knowledge of. Now, the thing was (Continued no Page Four) oft as Silk!

FOUR (Continued from Page Three) to just get up a delegation for Gen. Hitchcock, so that Gen. Hitchcock, when he got to the convention, would say, "I have got so many votes," he would come to even you, Senator, and say, "Now if you don't come across here, why I have got a hundred votes that I can use." Now, we don't want to be used for trading purposes in that way. The Chairman. Was that the way things were done in the South? Mr. Johnson. When Hitchcock had office it was. Senator Spencer. Is that what is known as the Hitchcock plan? Mr. Johnson. Yes; that is what is known as the Hitchcock plan. It was not to pledge yourself for the candidate for President, but the idea was to get somebody who will do just what Mr. Hitchcock says when he gets to Chicago. The Chairman. Do you know what the situation is in South Carolina? Mr. Johnson, Yes, sir I got so busy, Senator, that I couldn't go over there, and I got Mr. Stewart to go over and manage the matter in So. Carolina and he went over there. I know it in a general way. Now, we know that over there—really, as I understood it, to be entirely frank, the sentiment in South Carolina was for Gen. Wood, among the Negroes. There had been some demonstration there where Gen. Wood had had a little black child and showed some humanitarian disposition and made the Negroes in South Carolina feel quite well, and they were really for Gen. Wood, but then Mr. Hitchcock said, "You must be for me and let me manage you and control you and put you like so many fish on the string so that when I get to Chicago I can make delivery." Now that is true. The Chairman. Well, now, just how does Mr. Hitchcock get that power? How can he come down to you people and get the delegations and use them as you say? Mr. Johnson. Well, when he comes down and says that they put out Mr. John T. King and they put out every body else, and "I am the manager of the Wood campaign, and when Gen. Wod is elected I will be the Posumur General," say, for instance, and all these statesmen wanting to be postmasters—that is the thing that counts. Now the colored people don't want to be postmasters; it is the white men. And that is the thing that counts, that every one of them is a candidate for postmaster. Now, for instance, take Fred Dismuke, he was a postmaster under Gen. Hickcock, and if Gen. Wood was elected you couldn't make him believe that he wouldn't be postmaster again. Now Mr. McKee had been postmaster at Atlanta, and if Gen. Wood was elected, he would believe that he would again be postmaster. And Mr. Blum had been postmaster at Savannah, Ga., and if Gen. Wood was elected he would expect to again be postmaster at Savannah, Ga., and so on ad infinitum. The Chairman. Were there any promises made of postmasterships in this campaign? Mr. Johnson. Yes. Now. I had a very splendid white gentleman friend of mine from a little town near Atlanta, who was really my friend, and is my friend today, an honorable life white man, who said, "Lineohn, I am going to cast my fortunes with you, my boy, and they tell me I will never be the postmaster; but I would rather be with you, my boy, than to be the postmaster; my boy." That is an illustration. Now Mr. Cole was assistant postmaster at Atlanta, Ga.; Mr. Clark Grier was the postmaster at Joplin, Ga.; Capt. Blun was the postmaster at Savannah, Ga.; and Mr. Akerman was the postmaster at Cartersville, and Jack Spence was a revenue service; and Mr. Charlie Williams from the fourth district, was a deputy internal-revenue collector there; and Fred Dunmuke, of Thomasville, Ga., was a postmaster; and Mr. Schwartzweiss, at Waynesboro, was a postmaster there, and every one on them we figure in this thing. The Chairman. Did you have any people working with you who desired to be postmasters? Mr. Johnson. Well, there were some of my friends that would not suffer the crown to be offered to them too many times, Senator, but if they would get it, it would be a virgin ex experience of theirs. The Chairman. Had you promised them? Mr. Johnson. No, I wouldn't do that. I wouldn't have the temerity to promise postmasterships. I might say that I would use my kindly offices even with the Senator from Iowa and all that kind of thing, but I would not give them a promise; I would tell them that I would write a letter to my friend over in Missouri Miss Haley, the colored women that was alternate at large from Missouri. Now, that is the extent, to which I would go. I would chance to know somebody that would know somebody. I would expect to get next to the Senator from Minnesota through my friend, Mr. W. T. Francis a Negro who is an elector up there in Minnesota. There are a variety of Negroes who are trying to hold them selves up as best they can, Senator, and we don't care anything about it, and we have got a little teamwork in this country and we have been scattered through the country, with our relationships, and the alumni of the different universities in this country. It is a new dawn for us, and we are trying to do the best we can. We were represented in every one of the great slaughters in France. Bright boys from the universities; three from my own town. The Chairman. How many colored boys went to the war from Georgia? Mr. Johnson. Why, in Georgia not withstanding the fact that there are 300,000—400,000 more white people than there are colored people, still there were 5,440 more Negroes put in to the selective service, draft from Georgia than there were white boys. We were in the minority in members and for privileges, but in the majority to die for the country. We were in the majority to die but we were in the fearful minority to enter into any of its privileges and immunities. But this will lead us to go against anything that is against our country and the boy that even in this town the other day gave up his life to try to step the desecration of the Ameri can flag when that sailor boy had been shot by a religious enthusiast here in Chicago, his ancestors came from Georgia. The Chairman. Have you anything further Senator? Senator Reed. No. (Witness excused.) FIRST MT. OLIVE NOTES Nowtown, Va., January 25.—Rev. and Mrs. W. D.

MAN ARRESTED FOR MURDER Gerney Hoover, a Negro, cracked a great grin yesterday when Detective James Reynolds of the homicide squad walked into the kitchen of a Pullman car at the Pennsylvania Terminal and told him he was wanted for murder at Ashboro, N. C. You sure have made a big mistake. You sure have made a big mistake, said the Negro. Me and killing has got nothing in common. The detective however, had been looking for a Negro with bluish that ed guns and decided that the interior of Hoover's mouth answered the description. The police information was that Hoover "laughs a lot." He searched the cook and found a letter from the Negro's father, "Sonny," it read, "you batter flee cause the police want you. Duck about 100 000 miles from New York so it will take you more than $9 to send me a postal." According to the detective when the letter was found Hoover laid down a frying pan whoreen he was cooking some eggs and went with him without protest. It was said Hoover killed a man named Williams at Ash for because Williams and Hoover's wife had been friendly. Magistrate Nolan held the prisoner without bail for extradition papers. --- RAISE GIANT RABBITS FOR ME.
