Richmond Planet

WE SERVE - INFORM - ADVERTISE THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia State Library. VOLUME XXXVIII, NO. 13 RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1921. PRICE GARVEY. For nearly two score years Mr. John Mitchell, Jr. has edited the Richmond Planet. He has always been a fearless and courageous editor and has written many interesting travel sketches. His editorials in recent years have been characterized by keen observation and hard horse sense. In the January 15 issue of the Richmond Planet Mr. Mitchell devotes a two-page editorial to the Du Bois Garvey controversy and in the January 22 issue a force-column editorial to the same subject. And he anounces that a third editorial is forthcoming on the same subject. When an editor of Mr. Mitchell's wide experience, common sense and tense and trenchant style dips into such a live subject as the Du Bois Garvey sate it is naturally expected that he will give his readers some very interesting readings. But it is not our purpose to make Dr. Duo F.'s opinion on Hon. Marcus Garvey the personal theme of the Negro World edition Ltd. The Hon. Marcus Garvey, Mr. Lacian B. Watkins, the Nazi National Detender and son of Gary, Ind., and son of r member of the editorial it of, the Negro World have already expressed their opinion of the articles in the Crisis. We have our opinion, too, so by this time I believe that the readers of the Negro World take the statures and criticism of the distinguished editor of the Crusis with a grain of salt and see that it would not be advisable to guip down everything he says whole. So we have no desire to distract the readers' attention from the constructive work of the U. N. I. A. But at the same time Editor Mitchell's editorials are so sane, fair and reasonable and characterized by such a masterly analysis that we cannot lightly pass them by. In the five editions that we have been fortunate to read, Mr. Mitchell proves him of a former worthy of the brightest steel. He not only parallels, so sits atseats and ducks the thrusts of Dr. Duo Bols, but he counters heavily. He quotes at length and ably answers ten as anions from Dr. Duo Bols. It might be well for those interested in a literary controversy, where keen analysis, logic of reasoning, wise observations and one common are subtly blended to procure the January 15 and January 22 issues of the Richmond Planet. But we are mainly interested in the conclusion of the whole matter and this is how Editor Mitchell sums up his case. He says of Marcus Garvey and the movements that he has launched: "The commercial life of this unity is being infected in so this great Negro organization and this is being done without the help of the colored leaders and their followers whom Dr. Du Bois declares are so essentially necessary to the success of the movement. We don't think so. We believe that for Dr. Du Bois, Mr. Roscoe C. Simmons, Dr. R. R. Moton and a host of others to be in its Universal Negro Improvement Association imbued with their present ideals and notions would be to set up a "Babe" of wolves as a result of which nothing would be done. "Marcus Garvey may fail, but let him go down surrued by his friends and with the knowledge that he has done more than any other Negro in this parti tion. line of work. Let us wish him well, if he is sincerely and honest as Dr. Du Bois says that he is, and let the Du Bois and Simmons combination start a movement of similar importance and influence where they, too, can have a "shell of their own, and, if possible peace with it. But we are becoming a little too cautile in our remarks and so we shall receive further comment for our next issue." We will look for Mr. Mitchell's further comment with a great deal interest. We will say, however, em passant that he read a needed honouly to Messrs. Du Bols, Moton and Simons. By no means do we undertake Dr. Du Bols, His "Squire of Block Folk" and "Dork-wites" while not philosophical or scientific masterpieces, are nevertheless the work of a scholar who has mastered the art of expression and is gifted with poetic insight. His analysis of Rocker T. Washington in the Rockman and his pointing out the sins of omission n of Hon. Emmett J. Scott in the Crisis are worthy of comparison with Demos thones "Philippe" and Maculay's "Impeachment of Warren Hastings." But when the learned doctor presumed to sit in indemnity upon a man of set on like Marens Garvey and a world-wide movemnt like the U. N. I. A. with the business enterprises that have grown out of it, he stepped out of his natural sphere, or in plain Anglo-Saxon, "has bit off more than he can enew" and "waded beyond his depth."

Fryn Frank Howen issued a call at noon today for a mass meeting, to citizens to be held at 8 o'clock to protest against lawlessness in Jacksonville and to devise ways and means of preventing a recurrence of such "outrages preperptuated upon its citizens." F. P. Sultivan who was turned and reached last night is the second person to have been so mal-treated in the last month. --- Jacksonville, Fla., January 26.—That he was tainted and teached by five men last night because he attended a colored wedding and had been asked to be goather at a colored ensigning was the opinion expressed today by Frances Patrick Sullivan, 52 chicken farm operator according to the police. No arrest had been made early to carry, though police were investigating the case. Federal officers reused Sullivan's appeals for help, stating that the matter was one for the state courts. Sullivan is an Australian by birth but is a naturalized American and a veteran of the world war, having served abroad with the Twenty-seventh United States engineers. Sullivan stated to the police that he and his wife had retired when shortly after 8 o'clock last night two men came to his house and said that he was wanted on the telephone several blocks away. He dressed and are compelled the men. LEFT ON DOWNTOWN STREET A short distance from his house he was confronted by three more men with white socks over their heads and revolvers pointed at him. Sullivan told the authorities. His assistance was overcome by his assailants, he was placed in an automobile, taken to a recused spot, tarred and fainted, and then, with a cross sack over the head he was dumped out on a downtown street. When Sullivan reported to the police he was bleeding from severe wounds received during his fight with his assailant. He said that he asked the men why they were mistreating him and they replied because he had been too intimate with Negroes living near him. He said that he had attended a colored wedding some time ago and had been asked to be a godfather at a colored chishion. Sullivan claims that he can identify two of the men and that he snearred on the car so that it could be traced by the officers. --- VIRGINIA DRAWS COLOR LINE AND CANCELS MEET Charlottesville, Va., January 16.—The dual track meet between Harvard and Virginia, scheduled as one of the big sporting events of the spring season at the University of Va. has been called off.

With this in information at hand, a decision was reached by the Virginia authorities to cancel the meet. Mr. Editor: Dear Sir—The pastor of New Baptist church wishes to thank his members and friends for their words of sympathy and acts of kindness shown him during these recent months of his affiliation, the failure of his eyes.

J. J. MOSBY. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1921. ACT OF HEROISM MARKS THE BURNING OF Ship AT SEA. Norfolk, Va., January 30.—Three members of the crew of the Italian steamer Nettuno were landed at Newport News this afternoon by the Betgian steamship Kremin, and rushed to a hospital for treatment of severe burns sustained when fire broke out in the engine-room of the Nettuno off the coast of Florida last Wednesday. One of the men, Lundi Vioganni, third engineer of the Nettuno is not expected to live. A stirring tale of heroism on the high seas, with Vioganni in the princelin role, was told today by members of the crew of the Kremlin. A feed pice in the engine, room burst last Wednesday and fire spread through the engine-room endangering the lives of the two firemen who were trapped therein and threatening the entire ship. FIGHTS WAY THROUGH FLAMES Viegami the third engineer volunteered to go down into the engine room and cut the flow of oil from the broken pipe and to rescue the firemen. Fighting his way through the roaring flames, he reached the pipe and managed to stop the flow of oil and then assisted the firemen to the upper deck. When he reached the deck his clothing had been burned almost entirely from his body and his flesh was raw from burns. The Kremmlin bound from Galveston to Hampton Roads, answering a distress call from the Nettuno, arrived after the fire in the engine room had been extinguished. The master of the Belgian steamer volunteered to tow the Nettuno to port, but the offer was declined. The three injured members of the Nettuno's crew however, were transferred to the Kremmlin and brought to Hampton Roads where brought to Hampton Roads where they were transferred to a Newport News Hospital. The third engineer described as the hero in the struggle of the crew of the tectian steamer Nettuno with a fire in her engine room was said at the hospital here, where he is a patient to be covered with burns from head to foot. Members of the crew of the Belgian steamer Kremmlin which brought the engineer and two others who had been burned here, said the engineer had been delicious for several days. --- RICHMOND PREACHERS MAKES A HIT.

Dr. Margaret Hoskins, a member of the faculty of the medical College of Virginia, was exonerated yesterday by the executive committee of the board of visitors for remarks she is said to have made to students in regard to intermarriage of races. The decision was rendered in the form of a resolution unanimously adopted by the committee and representatives from the four medical classes of the college. Members of the committee, five representatives from each of the classes and the students present, when the doctor made her remarks attended the meeting yesterday, afternoon. The session began early and lasted several hours. Each member of the committee weighed the testimony of the students and after careful consideration adopted a resolution which absolved Dr. Hoskins of the charge pressed by members of the sophomore class. Testimony of the students present when the remarks were made brought out the fact that the discussion regarding intermarriage did not take place while the class was in session and did not form a part of any lecture delivered by the doctor. The students testimony brought out the fact that Dr. Hoskins in a conversation with several persons had made remarks regarding the intermarriage of races. LETTER FROM DR. HOSKINS. The committee in addition to the testimony of the students had before it a letter from Dr. Hoskins in which she stated she had no intention of no vocating in marriage of the races and that she regretted the incident. The resolution follows: The undersigned members of the executive committee of the board of visitors of the Medical College of Virginia and representatives of the several classes of the school of medicine after a careful investigation of all the circumstances desire to make the following statement with reference to certain remarks alleged to have been made by Dr. Hoskins and recently widely published. After a full and careful examination we have ascertained that the statements as they appeared in the press were inaccurate in fact and ex apparated in tone. The facts are that Dr. Hoskins up on one occasion not in the class, but in private conversation with a few students and in reply to repeated quesions based upon a purely hypothetical case after first declining to express her opinion made a statement to the intermarriage of the races which was and is objectionable and contrary to the views of every member of the executive committee and of every member of each of the medical classes. Dr. Hockins has written a letter disclaiming any intention of advocating intermarriage between the races and deeply regretting the fortunate occurrence. It is, therefore, the view and opinion of the executive committee and of the students, that further agitation of the incident is unnecessary and unwise and should be ended. (Signed) George L. Christian, chairman board of visitors; Thomas L. Moore, chairman executive committee; Stuart McCurse, E. L. Beniis, Epia Hunton Jr. William R. Miller, executive committee; R. Hugh Wood, president session class; W. E. Dickerson, president junior class; A. A. Wilson, president sophomore class; James M. Whitfield Jr. president freshman class. In a statement made voluntary last night Dr. Hockins said: As the men who heard me have stated the opinion I expressed was on a purely imaginary case. I wish to say again emphatically that I do not believe in intermarriage between white and colored people and I would not marry a colored man under any possible conditions. I am sure that member of the committee knows that this is my real feeling about the matter." (Richmond, Va. Times-Dispatch, January 30, 1921.)

He says: "As with the Indian so it has been with the Negro. In most every field of endeavor his demonstrations of ability and fitness have had to be on a racial basis. He has had no other choice. Therefore, many achievements by Negro men and women have been to him not so much accomplishments of talented individuals, but racial accomplishments refuting the constantly repeated assertion of pre-ordained inferiority. For generations the Negro has been looked upon as a predeestined tiller of the soil. Any effort to break down this notion was frowned upon. So he lifted the soil in an effort to satisfy impatient and unsetonite owners and plantation owners until the day come when, following the advice of wise men he began acquiring his own land. Today score than 220,000 Negro are owners of their own forms 623,961 are renters or share owners looking forward to the day when they will be owners; $492,892.21 worth of form-building stock and embankment are owned by these tillers of the soil." --- Mr. Charles H.

Chicago, January 31.—The Socialist party through its national organization in Chicago denied a statement today on the refusal of President Wilson to pardon Fugene V. Debs and the Supreme Court decision in the Berger case. The Supreme Court in ordering a new trial for Victor Berger, J. Louis Bradahl, William P. Krueger, Adolph Gerner and Irwin St. John Tucker confirmed what the Socialist party has a verdict from the trial, that the five Socialist officials were tried and convicted in an atmosphere of hysteria and vindictive that made a fair trial impossible. The Socialists asserted three years ago, when the men were indicted, and reported two years ago at that time of the trial, that the men were being punished not for specifie nots, but solely and only for their work as members and officials of the Noelist party. In other words the Socialists declare that the prosecution of the Five men, together with the presentation of Engene V. Debs and other espionage cases were political trials and that the men are being punished for political opposition to the dominant policy of the political party and born in other offense. The statement applauded the Harmeuse Court decision as far as it related to Judge Lundis and attacked the office of that insist. It then turned to the Debs case, asserting that President Wilson had "refused to no cognize the fact that the hysteria of the war period is over and that savage punishment for political heresy is out of date." "Political prints, political prisoners and punishments for political heresy have always been out of place in America and this country will be a better place to live in when that chapter is closed," said the concluding sentence of the statement. --- FAVORITE AFRICAN MISSIONS AT FIFTH STREET SUNDAY.

Jacksonville, Fla., January 26.—That he was tarned and teached by five men last night because he attended a colored wedding and had been asked to be godfather at a colored entrenching was the opinion expressed today by Francis Patrick Sullivan, 52, chicken farm operator according to the police. No arrest had been made early to day, though police were investigating the case. Federal officials reused Sullivan's appeals for help, stating that the matter was one for the state courts. Sullivan is an Australian by birth but is a naturalized American and a veteran of the world war, having served abroad for twenty-seven United States engineers. Sullivan stated to the police that he and his wife had retired when shortly after 8 o'clock last night two men came to his house and said that he was wanted on the telephone several blocks away.

Charlotteville, Va., January 16. The dual track meet between Harvard and Virginia, scheduled as one of the big sporting events of the spring season at the University of Va. has been called off. Just before signing the final contract for the meet the Harvard graduate manager, it is said informed Dr. Lambeth of the Virginia faculty that two of the best men on the Colomson squad had Negro blood in their veins, and that it was not deemed advisable to bring the sound South without them. The manager stated that he realised the feeling prevailing in the South regarding the matter, and desired to make the facts known. With this in information at hand, a decision was reached by the Virginia authorities to cancel the meet. Mr. Editor: Dear Sir—the pastor of New Fantastical church wishes to thank his members and friends for their words of sympathy and acts of kindness shown him during these recent months of his affiliation, the failure of his eyes. He was under specialists for treatment several months in Philadelphia, Pa., but the result at present is not encouraging. He hopes, however that the future holdsighter prospects for a partial, if not a complete recovery. While away the Pastor Aid Club got busy and on the night of his return presented him a handsome automate Morris chair, which has been a great source of comfort and pleasure. After his presentation refreshments were served and an gulvoyable evening was, He was kindly remembered Christmas with a purse and other useful articles from his members and friends.

VOLUME XXXVIII, NO. 13 For nearly two score years Mr. John Mateuchi, Jr., has edited the Richmond Planet. He has always been a fearless and courageous editor and has written many interesting travel sketches. His editorials in recent years have been characterized by keen observation and hard horse sense. In the January 15 issue of the Richmond Planet Mr. Mitchell devotes a two-page editorial to the Du Bois Garvey controversy and in the January 22 issue a turrecolumn editorial to the same subject. And he anounces that a third editorial is forth coming on the same subject. When an editor of Mr. Mitchell's wide expertise, common sense and tense and trenchant style dips into such a live subject as the Du Bois Garvey issue it is naturally expected that he will give his readers some very interesting readings. But it is not our purpose to make Dr. Du Bois' opinion of Hon. Marcus Garvey the peculiar theme of the Negro World editorials. The Hon. Marcus Garvey, Mr. Lacian B. Wattkins, the National Detacher and Son of Gary, Ind., and another member of the editorial staff of the Negro World have already expressed their opinion of the articles in the Crisis. We have our opinion, too, so by this time I believe that the readers of the Negro World take the structures and criticism of the distinished editor of the Crisis with a grain of salt and see that it would not be advisable to gulp down everything he says whole. So we have no desire to distract the reader's attention from the constructive work of the U. N. J. A. But at the same time Editor Mitchell's gatorials are so sane, fair and reasonable and characterized by such a masterly analysis that we cannot lightly pass them by. In the five col umus that we have been fortunate to read, Mr. Mitchell proves himself a foeman worthy of the brightest steel. He not only parts, silicates and ducks the thrusts of Dr. Du Bois, but he counters heavily. He quotes at length and ably answers ten assertions from Dr. Du Bois. It might be well for these inter ested in a literary controversy, where keen analysis, logical reasoning, wise observations and fictive comment are subtly blended to procure the January 15 and January 22 issues of the Richmond Planet. But we are mainly interested in the conduction of the whole matter and this is how Editor Mitchell sums up his case. He says of Marcus Garvey and the movements that he has launched: "The commercial life of this country is being injected into this great Negro organization and this is being done without the help of the colored leaders and their followers whom Dr. Du Bois declares are so essentially necessary to the success of the movement. We do not think so. We believe that for Du Bois, Mr. Rosecoe C. Dr. B. Mote and a number of others to be in this University Negro Improvement Association imbued with their preset idea and notions would be to set up a "Bahal" of voices as a result of which nothing would be done. "Marcus Garvey may fail, but let him go down surrounded by his friends and with the knowledge that he has done more than any other Negro in this particular line of work. Let us wish him well, if he is sincere and honest as Dr. Du Bols says that he is, and let the Du Bols and Simons combination start a movement of similar importance and influence where they, too, can have a "holl of their own, and , if possible peace with it. But we are becoming a little too causite in our remarks and so we shall reserve further comment for our next issue." We will look for Mr. Mitchell's further comment with a great deal interest. We will say, however, on passant that he read a needed homily to Messrs. Du Bols, Moton and Simons. By no means do we underate Dr. Du Bois, Hes "Squats of Black Folk" and "Darkwaters," while not philosophical or scholarly masterpieces, are nevertheless the work of a scholar who has mastered the art of expression and is gifted with poetic insight. His analysis of Booker T. Washington in the Bookman and his pointing out the sins of omission n of Hon. Emmette J. Scott in the Crisis are worthy of comparison with Demos thones "Philippe," and Macaulay's "Impeachment of Warrior Hastings." But when the learned doctor prepares to sit in indemn upon a man of the like Marcus Garvey and a world-wide moment like the U. N. I. A. with the help of a prepares that have grown out of it, or in plain Anglo-Saxon, "has bit off more than he can snow" and "waded beyond his depth."

Norfolk, Va., January 30.—Three members of the crew of the Italian steamer Nettuno were landed at Newport News This afternoon by the Belgian steamship Kremlin and rushed to a hospital for treatment of severe burns sustained when fire broke out in the engine-room of the Nettuno off the coast of Florida last Wednesday. One of the men, Landi Vigamiol, third engineer of the Nettuno is not expected to live. A stirring tale of heroism on the high sons, with Vigamiol in the principal role, was told today by members of the crew of the Kremlin. A feud pine in the engine, room burst last Wednesday and fire spread through the engine-room endangering the lives of the two firemen who were trapped therein and threatening the entire ship. FIGHTS WAY THROUGH FLAMES Vlougand the third engineer volunteered to go down into the engine room and cut the flow of oil from the broken pipe and to rescue the fireman. Fighting his way through the reading flames, he reached the pipe and managed to stop the flow of oil and then assisted the firemen to the deck. When he reached the deck his helmet was burned almost entirely from his face and his flesh was raw from burns. The Kremlinn bound from Galveston to Hampton Roads, answering a distress call from the Nettuno, arrived after the fire in the engine room had been extinguished. The master of the Belgium steamer volunteered to tow the Nettuno to port, but the offer was declined. The three injured men were of the Nettuno's crew however,omen to reach the Kremlinn and brought to Hampton Roads where brought to Hampton Ronds where they were transferred to a Newport News Hospital. The third engineer described as the hero in the struggle of the crew of the Italian steamer Netuno with a fire in her engine room was said at the hospital here, where he is a patient to be covered with burns from head to foot. Members of the crew of the Belgian steamer Kremlin which brought the engineer and two others who had been burned here, said the engineer had been delicious for several days.

MEMORIAL SERVICES TO BE HELD FOR MISS DYER One of the notable characters in the education of young women was Miss Carrie V. Dyer who for twenty nine years held the position of Lady Principal at Hartshorst Memorial College, and who made her impress upon the lives of hundreds who there came under her teaching and influence, and to whom the recent news of her death brought a real sorrow. Plans are made to hold a memorial service for her loss in the Chapel at Hartshorst on Sunday February 6, at 3:30 P. M. The speakers at this service will all be women who have been acquainted personally with her and her work in former years. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE EXON- ERATES DR. HOSKINS. Dr. Margaret Hosking, a member of the faculty of the Medical College of Virginia, was exonerated yesterday by the executive committee of the board of visitors for remarks she is said to have made to students in regard to intermarriage of races. The decision was rendered in the form of a resolution unanimously adopted by the committee and representatives from the four medical classes of the college. Members of the committee, five representatives from each of the classes and the students present when the doctor made her remarks attended the meeting yesterday, afternoon. The session began early and lasted several al hours. Each member of the committee weighed the testimony of the students and after careful consideration adopted a resolution which absolved Dr. Hosking of the charge pressed by members of the sophomore class. Testimony of the students present when the remarks were made brought out the fact that the discussion regarding intermarriage did not take place while the class was in session and did not form a part of any lecture delivered by the doctor. The students testimony brought out the fact that Dr. Hoskins in a conversation with several persons had made remarks regarding the intermarriage of races. LETTER FROM DR. HOSKINS. The committee in addition to the testimony of the students had before it a letter from Dr. Hoskins in which she stated she had no intention of acquitting her marriage of the races and that she regretted the incident. The resolution follows: The undersigned members of the executive committee of the board of visitors of the Medical College of Virginia and representatives of the several classes of the school of medicine after a careful investigation of all the circumstances desire to make the following statement with reference to certain remarks alleged to have been made by Dr. Hoskins and rehabilitated. After a full and careful examination we have ascertained that the statements as they appeared in the press were inaccurate in fact and exaggerated in tone. The facts are that Dr. Hoskins up on one occasion not in the class, but in private conversation with a few students and in reputed to repeated questions based upon a purely hypothetical case after first declining to express her opinion made a statement as to the intermarriage of the races which was and is objectionable and contrary to the views of every member of the executive committee and of every member of each of the modic classes. Dr. Hoskins has written a letter disclaiming any intention of advocating intermarriage between the races and deeply regretting the unfortunate occurrence. It is, therefore, the view and opinion of the executive committee and of the students that further agitation of the incident is unnecessary and unwise and should be ended. George L. Christian, chairman board of visitors; Thomas L. Moore, chairman executive committee; Seart McGuire, E. L. Bomiss, Eppa Hunton Jr., William R. Miller, executive committee; R Hugh Wood, president son class; W. E. Dickerson, president junior class; A. A. Wilson, president sophomore class; James M. Whitfield Jr., president freshman class. In a statement made voluntary last night Dr. Hoskins said: As the men who heard me have stated the opinion I expressed was on a purely imaginary case. I wish say again emphatically that I do not have in intermarriage between white and colored people and I would not marry a colored man under any possible condition. I am sure that member of the committee knows that this is my real feeling about the matter." (Richmond, Va. Times-Dispatch, January 30, 1921.) GUARDSMEN KILL MAN WHO ATTACKER SOLDIER Birmingham, Ala., January 23—Dick Lehngy, Negro, was shot and killed tonight by a national guardman after the black had attacked a patrol of Company H, on the highway between Adger and Johns according to reports received at military headquarters. When halted by the patrol, the report says the Negro hurled a stone at one soldier, knocking him down and inflicting a severe wound on the head after which he made a dash for an other trooper. Bit off part of his thumb and attempted to seize his revolver, whereupon the guardman fired two shots at the Negro, one taking effect in the neck and the other in the head. Both soldiers required medical attention. FULTON NOTES. We had present, in our Sunday School last week Rev. W. E. Brown who gave us a few helpful remarks.

Ho says: "As with the Indian so it has been with the Negro. In most every field of endeavor his demonstrations of ability and fitness have had to be on a racial basis. He has had no other choice. Therefore, many achievements by Negro men and women have been of so much accomplishments of talent, but racial accomplishments refuting the constantly repeated assertion of pre-ordained inferiority. For generations the Negro has been looked upon as a predestined tiller of the soil. Any effort to break down this notion was frowned upon. So he tilted the soil in an effort to satisfy impatient and unscientific overseers and plantation owners, until the day come when, following the advice of wiser men he began acquiring his own land. Today more than 220,000 Negroes are owners of their own farms 672,964 are renters or shape cropers looking forward to the day when they will be owners; $492,892,218 worth of farm-building stock and equipment are owned by these tillers of the soil. --- —Mr. Charles H. Robinson of 215 at 17th street. Southside celebrated his birthday, Friday night, 28th, at his residence. Refreshments were served on the same time being much pleased with the coming event.

Chicago, January 31.—The Socialist party through its national organization in Chicago issued a statement to day on the refusal of President Wilson to pardon Eugene V. Debs and the Supreme Court decision in the Berger case. The Supreme Court in ordering a new trial for Victor Berger, J. Davis Eindahl, William F. Kruse, Aleph Germer and Irwin St. John Tucker confirmed what the Socialist party was maintaining since the trial, that the socialist officials were tried and convicted in an atmosphere of hysteria and violence that made a fair trial impossible. The Socialists recorded three years ago, when the men were indicted, and repeated two years ago. At the time of the trial, that the men were being punished not for their role but solely and only for their work as members and officials of the Socialist party. In other words the Socialists declare that the prosecution of the Five men, together with the prosecution of Fergus V. Debs and, other officials, cases were political trials and that the men are being punished for political opposition to the dominant pollen of the political party and born in other offense." The statement applauded the Benoît Court decision as far as it related to Judge Landis and attacked the otees of that invest. It then turned to the Debs case, asserting that President Wilson had "refused to recognize the fact that the hysteria of the war period is over and that surprise punishment for political heresy is out of date." "Political trials, political prisoners and punishments for political heresy have always been out of place in America and this country will be a better place to live in when that chapter is closed," said the concluding sentence of the statement. --- FAMOUS AFRICAN MISSIONARY AT FOURTH STREET SUNDAY.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES One Year ..... $ 2.00 Two Months ..... 1.10 Three Months ..... 1.00 Four Months ..... 2.50 SATURDAY... FEBRUARY 6, 1921 The "moss-back" hypocrite is still with ug. Going up a hill is much more difficult than coming down. Praying is all right, if you do right after you get through praying. Education with honesty is all right; education without honesty is all wrong. Abusing white folks in general is not the proper way to help our cause or to advance our interests. The Allies have decided just how much money Germany must pay after having deprived her of her resources which to pay it. Friendship that can stand adversity and maintain its own in the face of public condemnation is true friend ship. Dying is the easiest part of this life. It is living that gives most of the trouble, although a majority of the people regard it the other way. You cannot have all joy and sunshine in this life. You must have sadness and clouds as you make the journey, which ends at the grave. Some colored folks are saving their money and an increasing number are saving it in banks operated by their own people. Burring a colored man at stake is Arkansas latest contribution to fair-play and civilization. This is the State, in which it was alleged recently that a Negro could get a fair and impartial trial. Some people in this world are still engaged in the pleasant past-time of attending to other people's business, to the neglect of their own business. Good white folks should be praised and encouraged and bad white folks should be let "severely" alone. This applies also to colored folks. There is no use worrying over trouble. The trouble will be here after you are gone, and in some instance you will be here after the trouble is gone. When you are jumping up and down, you are not getting any where and when you tell your troubles to everybody, you are not getting any where either. Governor Westmoreland Davis seems to know how to have an opinion of his own and to stand by that opinion. There are some folks, who would give everything in the world to be married and there are some other folks, who would give everything that they possess or hope to possess to be stable. Strange world this, and there are some stranger people in it. The reason that more people do not get religion is that tens of thousands of them have gotten the notion that there is no Hell and if there is one they will have a chance on the death bed to dodge the divine punishment. Some people know just how to raise children and some other people know how to tot them "raise" them selves. The latter kind are usually found in the faits and penitentiaries and at other times sitting down in the electric chairs. Colored people are given much trouble by those, who have an antipathy towards them, but they have much more trouble from their own people, who seem to possess a similar feeling. Some young folks have no thought of tomorrow. They seem to think that there should be no real purpose in life. They go to church as a matter of form and for the opportunity to display the latest fashionable outfit which after a hard struggle they have purchased. THE STAKE BURNING IN ARHANASB. The burning at the stake of Henry Lowry, a colored man, charged with murder was one of the most flendish exhibitions of race prejudice and twentieth century savagery that has been chronicled for some time. The burning of this man at the stake took place near Nodema, Arkansas and emphasized the fact that the distinguished occupant, of the White House had better turn his face away from Europe, where the Turks are alleged to be massacring the Armenians, who are not American citizens to Nodema Arkanas, where the man burned and massacred is an American citizen. This act of human savagery must necessarily make more insistent that the Federal Government, through the Congress shall be special legislation take notice of this common method of punishment in this country, which admittedly violates and nullifies a specific mandate of the Constitution of the United States, which provides that cruel and unusual punishment shall not be inflicted. We have always contended that the time to punish a mob is when they are about to commit the murder and place to punish the same mob is at the place where its members have assembled to commit the lawless act. Ten or twenty determined men could have stopped this heinous lynching and have stopped the disgrace which has come to that prosperous southern State. Of course, it is all wrong to presume that all of the white people of this State author condone or justify this lynching. But the responsibility must rest somewhere. The man who committed the crime seem to feel that because the unfortunate man admitted his guilt, that this should end the matter, while as a matter of fact, it should be the begging of the investigation which will lead to the punishment of the men guilty of this heinous crime against civilization. Honry Lowry would have been punished by the law. No jury, white or black in the face of the admissions would have failed to have met to him the punishment that he had earned, but as the maker now stands, the crime is more against organized society than it is against the poor unfortunate, whose tight, of life has been blown out forever. We raised the cry more than thirty years ago. We repeat it now. Lynchlaw must go! And the lynchers with it! FROM A WHITE MAN'S VIEWPOINT. We published an account of Marcus Garvey and his activities from a colored man's view-point and now we are reproducing a remarkable analysis of this same character from a white man's range of vision. The remarkable part about it is that scant charity is visible in the scathing comment of the distinguished Negro critic, while absolute fairness and generous commendation are everywhere in evidence in the columnous comment of this brilliant white biographer. It is a case of Negro against the Negro, with the white man in favor of a Negro. This is the paradoxical condition exiting well-night everywhere in this country. It emphasizes the repeated assertion that after every thing is said and done, the worst enemy of the Negro is the Negro. How can we change these conditions? How can we alter this state of affairs? Education only tends to emphasize this state of feeling for the rank and file of the colored people are truer and more friendly towards each other than the element which has been blessed with education and improved by travel. Here is the distinguished economist, lecturer, scholar and historian THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA opently attacking a member of his own race, while a learned white American, Truman Hughes Talley, Esq., is defending him. One article condemning the leader Garvey, appears in the leading magazine of the race in this or in any other country the New York-Crisis condemning him and holding him up to ridicule, while there is the World's Work, one of the leading white monthly publications on the the civilized globe writing favorably of this most remarkable character and dealing charitably with all of his alleged failings and short-comings. In this respect it may be well to quote from the December number of the World's Work, in which the editors of that widely read publication say: The most striking new figure among American Negroes is Marcel Garvey. His significance lies in the fact that he embodies and directs a new spirit of independence among the Negroes. Whatever may happen to his grandiose schemes of finance and politics, he is the best point at which to study what is going on inside the heads of the ten million colored people in the United States. They are thinking and doing many things that are unsuspected by the public at large. Then follows a graphic description of the career of Marcus Garvey. It is difficult for us to consider Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois as a Negro, although for "stage purpose," he consents to have himself so considered. He is an American citizen of the highest type. He is of African descent, no doubt, but every gesture and movement mark him as a gentleman of letters and a man, who would "fit in well" on an income of fifty thousand dollars per year. Dr. Du Bois is not an orator. It is more what he says than how he says it that holds his nearers from the first sentence he utterts until the conclusion of his lecture, for he is more than anything else, a lecturer. The frivolous and the gay would do well to avoid him and his utterances. Those who can take deep inspiration from the wise and the judicial would do well to listen to all he has to say. He does not appeal to the galleries and he speaks what he believes to be the truth, regardless of its effect upon his reputation or upon the receipts at the box office. But what about Marcus Garvey? So far as the fundamental principles of the plan and the scheme, which he is fostering are concerned, he is unchangeable, but in his appeals to the masses he has claimed "to speak the language of the tribe" and he portrays the prospects and hopes in vivid living colors, so as to work up the Negroes of the country to the highest pitch or excitement, to the end that they may furnish enough money to finance the monumental schemes and plans, which can only be put into operation by huge sums of money, the like of which have never been raised in this country before by colored people. Should these two leaders form a combination, when they both are agreed as to the feasibility of the Marcus Garvey plan or should they engage in a destructive war-fire, which will blast or tend to blast the reputation of one great leader and ruin the life hope and plans of the other great central figure, who admittedly leads more colored people in this country than any other individual has been able to claim since the foundation of this government? But we are letting the editors of The World's Work tell the story in another column. THE STRANGE CASE OF DOCTOR HOSKINS. The Sophomore Class of the Medical College of Virginia seems to have made Dr. Margaret Hoskins the "storm centre of an unenviable notoriety, charging her with having given voice to the opinion that she would prefer marrying an intellectual citizen of color, commonly known in this section as a Negro to an ignorant member of her own race. That the underlying animus in this charge was largely due to the fact that Miss Hoskins hailed from New England and could be regarded as a "yankee" largely explains the reasons for this most unreasonable and un justifiable attack. No sane person, unimpregnated with prejudice towards either the Negro or the northerner could presume that Miss Margaret Hoskins, an accomplished white lady would prefer a member of the despises race to the fellowship of the handsome, highly intelligent white men for whom Virginia is noted. The whole affair rooms to have been conceived for the purpose of injuring and humiliating her. Certainly colored men prefer the matriarchal companionship of their own people. They are opposed too to the mixing of the races. If a Chinese wall could be built in the Southland to keep the races apart, they would favor such a project. Thanks to the white men's forsight, colorful men are able to marry white women without going on the white side of the line so to do. By some inscrutable but either explainable method, we have white men and women, classed as Negroes, who have Roman noses, straight hair, well formed teeth and hair that will rival that of the purest Anglo-Saxon. They did not get these characteristics either by virtue of lawful wedlock, although it would have been honorable for them to do. Some of the people responsible for these conditions are constantly suffering from nightmares less the result of this union shall in time be legalized. But there are tons of thousands of other white people and Negroes, who are not concerned about this ghost of social equality and legal racial amalgamation. Young mea, who were born virtually yesterday do not either know or understand and it is gratifying to know that the softer-second sense of the officials of this great collegiate institution exercised itself in a manner to end the discussion and to drop out of sight this agitation which could only do harm to everything and to everybody, who had any connection with it. The colored people, the Negroes are glad that the matter is ended and they hope that a class in ethics and common sense will be added to the curriculum of this noted institution where the hot headed youngsters in this Sophomore Class may learn their last lesson in getting along and succeeding in the Southland with out racial friction or northern antagonism. Selah. ROANOKE NEWS ROANOKE, Va., February 2—Rev. James S. Hatcher, his chair and congregation worshipped at Maple Street Baptist Church, Sunday afternoon, by invitation of the pastor, Rev. James Rhodes. Rev. Hatcher spoke on the Test of Discipleship, St. Luke 9:23. He gave a very fine discourse on this wonderful subject, showing the various ways in which we are called to deny ourselves to prove true followers of the Lowly Nazarene. All were spiritually lifted up by the sermon. One young man came to the altar at the close of the sermon and wept earnestly, asking the prayers of the Church for a full surrender to the Master. I am sure the people who saw him, as I were, but a step from the fold of Christ have not for gotten to remember this young man in their prayers. All enjoyed this rare gospel treat. A very liberal offering of $7.92 was laid on the table. Rev. Rhodes was very grateful to Dr. Hatcher and people. Sunday morning, January 30, Rev. James S. Hatcher, B. D. of Mt. Zion A. M. E. B. Church delivered a most helpful and soul stirring discourse to the believers on the subject of a more zealous service and a sweeter observation in our Christian lives as the years go by. 'Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; for He is faithful that promised.' He gave his audience a sermon from the Psalms at night. It was rich, giving the origin and the cause prompting the author for the rich volume of spiritual uplift found in many of the hymns written and given to the Word by these great authors, which have churned the heart of many men and women and saved them from the shipwreck and brought them into the fold of Jesus. The Rev. Robertson, pastor of Jesusheim Church preached to the people of his parish, admon- tiring his people to keep in sight and in the way. It certainly must have been a wonderful discourse for it could be heard noises about the streets and in the homes of all who heard him. Mrs. Berha Beverly, 416 Ninth Avenue, N.

Gorceo, chairman and W. H. Karnes vice chairman reading C. W. McClure chairman of the ways and means committee out of the party, the Republican state central committee for Georgia took drastic action on several questions at a very special and highly entertaining meeting held Friday at 11 a.m. at the Negro Old Fellows hall on Auburn avenue. Charges of party disloyalty, misuse of campaign funds false pretence in soliciting funds and disobedience to the manoeuvre of the central committee, were aired at the session which went through the form of a "trial" of the two officers. The "trial" was in the nature of an ex parte proceeding, as neither Mr. Goree nor Mr. Karnes was present to answer the charges or present a defense. Several witnesses, white and black were placed under oath and made statements for the "prosecution" which was conducted by Ben J. Davis, well known Negro politician and T. H. Holmes, a white attorney. After the five specific counts in the "indictment" had been read and "evidence" introduced in support of each, a special committee was named to formulate the "verdict" which found Messrs. Goree and Karnes "guilty" of of various "high crimes and misdemeanors against the Republican party in Georgia" to quote the finding accurately. This formality over with, the committee adopted resolutions calling up on Mr. Gorce and Mr. Karnos to resign their offices but although there was overwhelming sentiment in favor of ousting them summarily, it was finally decided to await the action of the national Republican committee be fore taking more drastic action. It was pointed out that the ousting of the chairman and vice chairman by the committee itself would probably result in more serious internal party strife. JOHNSON GETS OVATION Having got fairly under way, the committee proceeded to dispose of Mr. McClure's case. A resolution of condemnation was presented by Dr. H. E. Stockbridge of Atlanta, prominent in Republican political circles, and in it Mr. McClure was characterized as a "traitor to the party", who had been "all things to all men." The resolution absolutely closed the door of the Republican party to Mr. McClure declared him an independent of Indecente political affiliations and cast him into outer darkness. It appeared from the text of the resolution that Mr. McClure had grievously offended the state central committee by his actions as chairman of the ways and means committee. Henry Lincoln Johnson, the Negro Republican national committeeman for Georgia, made his appearance at the meeting shortly after the session opened at 12 o'clock. His attendance was unexpected and when he walked into the hall the session was suspended while the committeemen, white and black joined in giving him an ovation. After a few moments, during which the delegates swarmed around him to shake his hand, Henry Lincoln took a seat beside the chairman, participating in the proceedings to the extent of two fiery speeches and several interpolations on various questions as they came up for consideration. His first speech which was in the nature of a response to the greeting he had received from the committee, contained a bitter denunciation of tse Ku Klux Klan past and present. The Republican party is going to pay a little attention to the Ku Klux Klan when the next congress convenes," said Johnson. This despicable organization is embellished upon the criminal records of our country and there is not a gray hatred Negro in the south who does not cringe in terror when he hears the name so engraven upon his mind is the memory of those midnight visits to defenseless homes, those murderous assaults upon innocent victims those orgies of murder and bar barism. CONGRESS PETITION. "I tell you now that I have a petition already prepared to present, to the cabin and to the senate, asking that the use of the mails be barred to the Ku Klux Klan which has been reorganized in many southern states. The Republican party isn't going to stand for any such criminal disorder. Johnson also discussed the proposal anti-lynch law, saying that the in coming Republican congress is pledged to the passage of such an act and that the Democratic members of the national legislative body will not oppose it. You know I got out on the stump during the campaign and made a few speeches to the boys in the middle west, said Johnson. There are 160,000 Negroes registered in Ohio, 65,000 in West Virginia; 115,000 in Indiana; 165,000 in Illinois and 118,000 in Missouri to say nothing of the other states up that way. Of course I was raised in Georgia and I couldn't help absorbing some of the Georgia methods of politics. So I told those boys up there, whenever I would make them a speech to vote early and often in the good old Georgia way. The method of selecting the mem bays of a woman's advisory committee, which was provided for in another resolution, almost caused an open outbreak of disorder among the com mittteemen. This advisory committee will be composed of two women from each congressional district and twelve appointed from the state at large. Henry Lincoln Johnson advocated the appointment of three Negro women who worked during the past campaign while Ben Davis insisted that the secretary of the committee make all appointments. Johnson's contention finally won out. IN SESSION FOUR HOURS The committee was in continuous session for more than four hours. 75 members being present while several hundred spectators sat around on the side lines and watched the proceedings. In a statement issued after the meeting of the committee and when he had been apprized of the action taken in reference to him, Mr. George denied the charge sal too, decaring that he would take the matter into the courts for settlement. MRS. LUCY CLARKE BURIED IN WEST POINT. Crossed over the river to dwell among the blest, Mrs. Lucy Clarke, wdow of the late Henry Clarke. She died at the residence of her daughter Mrs. Julia Jefferson, 1212 N. First Street, Tuesday, January 25, 1921. She had been a patient gufferer for quite a number of years, yet amid her days of affliction she exercised that faith that way once for all time delivered to the saints. Her funeral, solemn and impress was conducted from her home. Rev. Joseph Arrington, who had visited her during her illness, portrayed a beautiful Christian life of the deceased. He spoke of the faithfulness of her daughter, who had cared for her. She leaves a daughter, Mrs. Julia Jefferson, a son, Charlid H. Clarke Sr. of West Point, Va. Her remains were carried to West Point, where they were interred in the family plat beside her husband.

John Andrews Hughes also colored aged 12 of 1822 Taylor street was arrested last night on a charge of involuntary manslaughter and is being held in the Juvenile Detention Home. The affair was accidental, witness es dolare. According to the police, a group of children were playing in the street and the Hughes boy had a knife with which he was frightening a girl. As he poked the blade at the girl she is alleged to have exclaimed, "Be careful or you will cut me!" Following the remark the boy said, "Welch I will cut you." In saying this he drew back his arm as though to strike a blow and in doing so struck the Smith boy who was standing behind him. The blade entered the boy's body through the heart. The boy was picked up and carried into his home, at 1814 Taylor street and the ambulance summoned. He died before medical attention arrived. (Times Dispatch, Jan. 29, 1921.)

SENATE INACTIVITY ON NOMINA TIONS BROKEN. Washington, January 18. — Inaction by the Senate on the thousands of nominations submitted at this session by President Wilson, was broken today and the way paved for confirmation before March 4 of emergency appointments. Attempts of Democratic Senators to force an executive session; none of which has been held since Congress assembled last month resulted in an agreement between party leaders to refer to appropriate committees with instructions to report the nominations of 5,534 army officers recommended for permanent commissions by the Pershing board and now holding temporary appointments. This agreement was reached after Senator Lodge the Republican leader had given notice that his party would not tolerate any tendency on the part of the present administration to place its followers in office to the embarrassment of the new administration and after Senator Underwood the Democratic leader, had assured the Republicans that "there was no desire on his part to do that." The agreement, it later was said, might lead to action before March 4 on a few other nominations of an urgent nature. Senators Fletcher, Democrat Florida; and Norris, Republican Nebraska during the time that the subject of nominations was up, tried unsuccessfully to force action on civil appointees. The latter voted with the Democrats twice to compel the Senate to "proceed with business in executive session," for the purpose of confirming the Commissioner of Patents and his assistants, while Senator Fletcher introduced a resolution calling up on the Postmaster-General for the names of all ex-service men or their widows, who have been named for post office appointments. The resolution was referred to the Committee on Post Office and Post Roads after a heated discussion. FLETCHER ASKS ACTION The Florida Senator later declared he would seek another way of "getting action" on the appointments, adding that it was "a crime for the Senate to refuse to act" on such nominations as his resolutions concerned. Senator Lodge explained that there were undoubtedly a great many "deserving cases of a nonpolitical character" and requested Senator Norris to wait until these could be segregated from the thousands of nominations of all classes. Senator Norris said tonight it was probable that these nominations might be grouped and reported for confirmation at an early date. Secretary Baker it was learned to day, recently asked the judge-advocate-general's office for information as to the status of officers whose nominations are pending, in each of the three following eventualities: First, if the Senate refused to confirm any of the nominations at this session; second: If only the Pershing board appointments were confirmed; and, third, If only a part of the list of promotions of officers already permanently in the service were confirmed. Mr. Baker was informed, it is understood that if the Senate did not act on any of the nominations, the more than 5,000 officers recommended for permanent commissions by the Pershing board would find themselves back in civil life on March 4. It was explained that many of these officers, all of whom have assumed their rank since last July 1, subject to confirmations, had been ordered to distant parts of the world and have gone to their posts, in many cases taking their Families and household effects with them. WOULD BE "SEPARATED." It was said that should the Senate fail to confirm them they will find themselves endurely separated from the army on March 4 and without the right to live in government quarters, their pay stopped and with no legal status that would entitle them to apply to the War Department for money with which to defray their expenses back to the United States. Their temporary commissions, it also was said, would be vacated, and it would be necessary to make new appointments and send new recommendations to Congress before the vacancies could be filled. In the event that only the Porshing board nominations were confirmed and all other names on the list were to fail of confirmation, it was said the situation would not be so serious although a hardship would be worked on almost every officer in the regular army who has been promoted and whose promotion is now awaiting senatorial confirmation. In the case of all the new officers appointed to the grade of captain and above, the new appointment, when confirmed would give the officer rank sender to that of regular officers of long service who failed of confirmation for promotion. Should the Senate confirm only part of the list of promotions and take no action on the remainder, an unprecedented situation would arise, it was said. For purposes of illustration, a hypothetical case was cited. Assuming that all nominations up to and including colonel were confirmed, but that no action was taken on the general officers, many officers of long service in the army were of the opinion that a number of officers nominated for brigadier-general and now holding temporary appointment as such, but with the permanent rank of colonel, would find themselves on tightly out of the army. GERMAN WOMAN LAUDS FRENCH BLACK TROOPS; DENIES WANTON OUTRAGES African Troops, Contrary to Slanders of American Congressmen and German Propagandiss, Committed No attacks Upon Women and Were Popular. Corroboration from a German source of official denials by the French Government of the repeated charges voiced in the German press and elsewhere of wholesale abuses of women and children committed by the French colored troops garrisoned in the occupied territory along the Rhine is found in an article written by Liljh Jannasch in Die Frau in Staat, and quoted from in the November issue of Die Friedens Warte of Leipisc. In beginning her article which is entitled "Black Disgrace—White Disgrace," the writer points out that she is not defending the use of black soliders in Europe, but she insists that the French are not keeping them there just for the fun, but because of fear of the plans for revenge being openly disguised by the unregenerate Pan-Germans and Junkers. After declaring that only through casting out its Chauvinists and showing itself repentant and desirous of becoming a worthy member of a league of peaceful nations can Germany hope for a reduction in the occupying forces, she says: And how about the black disgrace? I lived a year jin the occupied territory in a little place garrisoned for months by several hundred black soldiers. The chief official of the district (Landrat) assured me that during the entire time there had been no attacks upon women or children. In fact the blacks had become quite popular. And I heard the same opinion from the people. In many cases the blacks shar e their meals with the children of the neighborhoods. From Ludwigshafen a lady said to me last summer, when I questioned her: "When we notice how scandalously our white women and girls make friends with the blacks, how they first and accept gifts of chocolate, etc., we are not surprised if a misfortune occurs. In fact, we know from our own observation that many white women find something alluring in entering in to close relations with blacks; this we have frequently been able to verify when members of Negro tribes were placed on exhibitions in Germany. At the time of the industrial Exhibition in Berlin for example, it repeatedly happened that Negroes on exhibition there disappeared for several days and in was town talk that women of 'good society' had been entertaining the Negroes. Similar things have happened in cities in all parts of Germany, especially in Hamburg. Is not this 'white disgrace on the side of German women much worse than the 'black disgrace?' That the attacks by the blacks are not committed by the wholesale, but are scattered cases, is shown in all the reports received from persons who do not see through Pan-German spectacles. I have been assured of this by reliable individuals from the Palatinate, who are constantly traveling through there on business and by several persons from Wiesbaden. Most of these attacks are like the lying report that the Goethe House in Frankfort was filled with black troops during the oocipation." In connection with a report from Washington that Representative Britten of Illinois was about to introduce a resolution of protest against the French Foreign Office announced on further occupation of the Rhine territory by black troops, the French Foreign Office announced on January 4, that the black soldiers had been with drawn from the Rhine several months ago and sent to Syria and Africa leaving only some Moroccan troops there Attention was also drawn to an investigation by the French War De department which had resulted in clearing the blacks from the German charges. YOUTH CHARGED WITH SLAYING CHINAMAN. Reynolds Dahney, colored aged 19, was arrested yesterday by Detective Sergeants Waymack and Tiler on a charge of murdering and robbing Charles Young a Chinese laundryman in Asbury Park, N. J. The man was located in a house in the eastern section of the city, and Richmond is said to be his home. Young was found December 21 moving about in his laundry, covered with blood and apparently suffering from a brutal assault. According to allegations, threw officers heard the Chinaman, while dying, utter the words, "Dab, Dab." Dahney is said to have been known by that name to the Chinaman. The Chinman man is said to have been struck in the head several times with a piece of iron pipe which was found on the scene. After uttering the name the Chinman man died. Examination of the colored man's belongings revealed a cigarette-holder with an oriental design, which is said to have belonged to Young. A bloody pair of pants were also found in the house police say. The Negro was turned over to the New Jersey authorities last night. —Times Dispatch, January 20, 1921 HOUSE VOTES TO LIMIT SEATS TO 435 AFTER STORMY SESSION. Washington, January 19.—At the end of the most turbulent session of the present Congress, the House late today adopted the reappointment bill with an amendment limiting its membership for the next ten years to the present total of 435. The first to prevent increase to 483 was won several hours caller, however when the House sitting in committee of the whole, refused to post pone consideration of the whole question of redistricting, and then voted, 198 to 77 to keep the present maxi mum. It was after long parliamentary wrangling that the bill was brought before the House itself for a final show-down. The 435 amendment finally was agreed to by a vote of 287 to 74 and the measure made ready for Senate concurrence. Right at the start the effort was made literally to knock the bill in the head by skirting on the enacting clause. It started a veritable row during which the House got its feet tangled in parliamentary proceedings from which it was lifted hook into an orderly run with difficulty. LORD MAYOR MUST SHIP AT NORFOLK BY LATEST ORDER. Washington, January 19.—Counsel for Donal O'Callaghan, Lord Mayor of Cork, Ireland who arrived in this country recently without a passport, was directed today by Secretary Wilson to deliver the Lord Mayor "promptly" to the immigration in specter at Norfolk. The Secretary of Labor's order was described by Labor Department of fiducias as merely the formal notification to Judge Lawless in whose custody O'Callaghan was placed by the Department of Labor when he was paroled of the Secretary's decision last week that O'Callaghan was a "scam man" and as such should reship on a vessel bound abroad.

The labor secretary's letter to the immigration bureau said that the decision that O'Callaghan be permitted to "reship foreign" should be "consumated at the earliest possible moment." LORD MAYOR PAROLED Lord Mayor O'Callaghan was paired in the custody of his counsel, Judge Lawless of Norfolk, soon after he arrived at Norfolk from Cork as a stowaway and without a passport. He is now in New York but whether he will appeal to the courts, has not yet been announced. The announcement of Secretary Wilson as to the jurisdiction of the State Department in all cases similar to those of the Lord Mayor, is under stood to be in the nature of a general agreement between the two departments, through which it is hoped to avoid the future controversies similar to the one which awove in O'Callaghan's case, owing to the failure of Secretary Wilson to honor the order of Acting Secretary Davis that O'Callaghan he deported immediately. Mr. Wilson's letter to the immigration bureau follows. "At a conference held in the White House, yesterday between the President, Acting Secretary of State Davis and myself, the following understanding was arrived at: "Aliens without properly vised passports seeking admission to the United States, whether admissible under the immigration laws or not shall be denied admission, unless the Secretary of State waives the passport requirements. Allen seamen who follow seaman ship as an occupation will be permitted to land for purpose of 'reshipping foreign' unless the Secretary of State directs that they be kept on their vessels. HOLD ABOARD VESSEL The cases of stowaways will be reported immediately to the Secretary of State and they shall be held aboard their vessels or in physical custody, until the secretary has rendered a decision. If the Secretary of State does not direct that they be kept on their vessels, they may be permitted to land for the purpose of reshipping foreign. The decision of the Secretary of Labor that O'Callaghan be permitted to reshift foreign shall be consumated at the earliest possible moment." LITTLE ROCK CAPTURES THE CONGRESS. --- Nashville, Tenn. January 18. — (National Negro Press Association Service.) Little Rock is to entertain the 1921 session of the Sunday School Congress forces June 8th to 13th. This action was confirmed by the meeting of the Board hold in this city today. Five cities were running neck and neck for these honors. They were Muskogee, Oklahoma; Columbia, S. C.; Galveston, Texas; St. Louis, Mo.; and Little Rock. It developed that the matter had been before the Board for the third time and that the decision was only reached today. Notices were at once sent to the leaders at Arkansas, conveying the information to them. The Secretary of the movement, Rev. Henry A. Boyd and the Chairman Dr. C. H. Clark authorized the announcement and they declare that in all probability there will be no reduced round trip rates for any religious gatherings. They contemplate an increased attendance over last year. It will be remembered that just a year ago this meeting was held in Springfield, Illinois where memorial services were held for the late Abraham Lincoln. More than twenty thousand Sunday Schools and one million five hundred thousand Sunday School workers are effected by this call. ONION IN DEMAND AND WITH LIQUOR UNDER BAN. Chicago, January 19.—Depired of liquor, Americans are developing a craze for the most kicky of vegetables the onion, according to Carl Pewaty, the onion king, who is in Chicago for the annual convention of the fruit and Vegetable Shippers Association. Since prohibition became effective the demand for onions has almost doubled. Last year Mr. Pewaty handled more than 50,000 cartloads of onions, and he expects his 1921 business to be greater. Onions have a food value which is not generally appreciated, said Mr. Pewaty. Onions contain more calories than some meats and make an in vigorating soup for, convalescents. They will some day be one of the staple foods of the country. BERGER GIVEN NEW TRIAL BY THE SUPREME COURT. Washington, January 31.—Victor L.

THREE Make your skin bright, healthy and beautiful It is the aspiration of all women of culture and intelligence to attain beauty A smooth, clear complexion of delicate softness, free from blemishes and blackheads, is indicative of intelligent care and refinement. Dr. Fred Palmer's Skin whitener preparations are sought by the most fastidious women, as the means of lightening, healing and beautifying the skin. They are absolutely harmless, entirely free from vaseline, and will not promote the growth of hair upon the face. The Dr. Fred Palmer method of beauty treatment, if used with regularity, promises a reward that will warrant its systematic use. You can secure a complete set of Dr. Fred Palmer's Toilet Preparations from your druggist. First, steam the face, neck, hands and arms thoroughly with a turkish towel, as hot as the skin can bear. Repeat this three or four times. Then rub Dr. Fred Palmer's Skin Whitener Scap gently into the skin with a soft wash rag, using hot water. Rub this lather gently, but thoroughly into the skin, and then rinse off thoroughly with hot water. Next, with the finger'tips, thoroughly rub Dr. Fred Palmer's Skin whitener into the skin. Dr. Fred Palmer's Skin Whitener has earned for itself a reputation never attained by other skin-creams. DR. FRED SKIN WHITENER FOUR ARKANSANS BURN NEGRO AT STAKE; SAY HE SLEW TWO. Wilson,, Ark., January 26.—Henry Lowry, colored, alleged slayer of O. T. Craig, Mississippi County planner, and Craig's daughter, Mrs. O. C. W. Williamson, who were shot to death at the Craig plantation home on Christ mas Day was burned at the stake early tonight by a mob near Nodena, a short distance from the scene of the double killing. Before the torch was applied Lowry is said to have confessed implicating two other Negroes. Officers tonight were searching for these men and their arrest is expected within a few hours. Lowry was brought across the Mississippi River into Arkansas by a group of men who earlier in the day had taken him from the officers at Sardis Miss, who were bringing him from El Paso, Texas, where he was arrested last Friday. At Richardson's Landing the party was met by the mob, which had been awaiting their arrival during the afternoon. CHAINED TO LOG. It was planned to take Lowry back to the Craig plantation near Nodum but later it was decided to stop on the beaver, a mile from the Craig home where it was stated Lowry was chained to a log. Asked if he wanted anything before punishment he is inflicted he is said to have asked for food, which was brought him, and asked to be a lowed to say goodbye to his wife and children. They were summoned. He had, it is reported, refused to confess up to that time. Before he was put to death, however, he made a full confession it is said, implicating two other colored men. He was to have been lynched immediately on his arrival, the report stated, but a short delay was caused by a disagreement as to who'er the man was to be hanged or burned. The body was burned to a crisp. Reports received here are to the effect that parts of the mob had threatened to go to Marion and Blytheville to get the other men who are being held on charges of aiding Lowry to escape. SATURATED WITH GASOLINE. According to accounts of the lynching brought to this city Lowry's clothing was seated with gasoline and brush piled about his body before he was set afire. After the lynching the crowd left 25 cents each at your druggist, or sent postpaid upon receipt of the purchase price, plus 1 cent war tax. (No war tax on soap.) JACOBS' PHARMACY COMPANY Atlanta, Ga. MILITARY the scene. Up to a late hour there had been no further disorder. Reports from Blytheville and Marion where the other men are under arrests in connection with Lowry's escape after the killing of the planter and his daughter, stated that conditions there were quiet. Craig and Mrs. Williamson were shot to death when they attempted to quiet Lowry who had created a disturbance on the Craig plantation. Hugh and Richard Craig sons of the planter also were wounded. Both have recovered. Lowry in his alleged confession is said to have declared he had been drinking at the time of the killings. FIVE CHARGED WITH HELPING FUGITIVE ESCAPE. Marion, Ark, January 26.—Five colored men have been placed in jail here charged with harboring a fugitive in connection with the escape of Henry rLowry colored tenant farmer who was lynched tonight, near Nodena, Ark, at the time of the killing last month of O. T. Craig, Mississippi County planter and his daughter, Mrs. C. O. Williamson. Lowry is said to have remained in the vicinity of the double killing several days, cluding a posse which scarred for him almost continuous and finally escaped from the State, making his way to El Paso, Texas, where he was captured last week. The men held there are alleged to be members of the same fraternal or organization of which Lowry was a fembre. Two of the five, Morris Jenkins and his wife were arraigned today held under bonds of $5,000 each to await action of the grand jury as the February term of court. The others Mott Orr, Walter Johnson and John Ruddltt were also arraigned tomor row. MAN ESCAPES DEATH AT HANDS OF CROWD. Nashville, Tenn., January 26.—Matthew Houston, self-confessed slayer of five-year old Frank Dally, son of Walter Dally prominent Shelby County planter was brought, here today from Memphis for safekeeping and is now occupying a solitary cell in the State penitentiary. He barely escaped being lynched by a mob last night according to Deputy Sheriffs Barbaro, Palmer and Gooswick from Sheriff O. H. Perry's It is made by competent chemists, and only the best of each class of ingredients is used. It is creamy white, smooth as velvet, sweetly perfumed. After rubbing the Skin Whitener in thoroughly, until it is absorbed by the skin, apply Dr. Fred Palmer's Skin Whitener Powder, a dainty, sweetly-scented face powder, that protects the face from sun-burn or chafe, and enhance the lightness of the complexion. In ten days or a week's time, the effect of this treatment will be noticed. Blackheads, blemishes and discolorations will disappear. Gradually the skin will take on a lighter, brighter tinge that radiates healthfulness and beauty. In addition to the soap, cream and powder, Dr. Fred Palmer has prepared a hair dresser that is without equal for straightening, softening and increasing the growth of the hair. Only a hair dresser par-excellence would be marked with Dr. Fred Palmer's name, which has always stood for quality in toilet preparations. There are many imitations of Dr. Fred Palmer's preparations, so be sure to ask for them by full name. office who brought him to this city. From his cell at the State prison Houston talked freely of his crime. BANDITS TAKE $14,000 FROM COUNTY THEASURER Marion, O., January 26—Two bandits early this morning entered the office of the county treasurer in the courthouse here, knocked Treasurer Harry E. Ferry unconscious with the butt end of a revolver and escaped in an automobile with $14,000 in cash. Treasurer Forry arrived at his office unusually early to arrange for the handling of last minute taxpayers. He had opened the big office vault, obtained several thousand dollars in change and had again closed and locked the vault when the bandits entered. The two robbers crept up on him and knocked him over the head with the end of a revolver, dropping him unconscious to the floor. They hurriedly grabbed the $14,000 left, making their escape in a waiting carriage. The vault contained between $50,000 and $75,000 in tax money, which the robbers did not get because of Forry's foresight in locking the safes after taking out the money to be used as change in the day's business. Treasurer Forry told police that not a word was exchanged during the robbery. One handi stood guard at the door while the other pointed a revolver at the treasurer, hitting him over the head when he got close enough. Mr. Forry said he noticed two young men loafing in the courthouse corridor when he entered the building but told police he could identify only the man who hit him. This man he said, welged about 150 pounds, was youthful in appearance and wore a brown suit and cap. No other employees were in the building at the time of the robbery. DEPUTY SHOT TO DEATH; HIS ASSISTANT MAY DIE. Fayetteville, N. C., January 28.—Deputy Sheriff M. N. Blue was shot and killed by Thomas R. Clayton of New York, formerly a soldier at Camp Bragg. Clayton was perhaps fatally wounded by Blue and Deputy W. O. Patrick was shot through the thigh here early this afternoon when the officers attempted to arrest the ex-soldier on a warrant sworn out by A. A. Lindsey, into whose house Clayton is said to have forced himself at the point of a pistol last night. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA A PREPARATIONS STOP! LOOK! READ!

In the Spring of 1893 I was attacked by Muscular and Sub-acute Rhumatism. I suffered as only those who have it know, for over three years. I tried remedy after remedy, and doctor after doctor, but such relief as I received was only temporary. Finally, I found a treatment that cured me completely, and it has never returned. I have given it to a number who were terribly afflicted and even bedridden with rheumatism, some of them 70 to 80 years old, and results were the same as in my own case. I want every sufferer from such forms of rheumatic trouble to try this marvelous healing power. Dont send a con; simply mail your name and address and I will send it free to try. After you have used it and it has proven itself to be that long looked for means of getting rid of your rheumaticism, you may send the price of it, one dollar, but understand I do not want your money unless you are perfectly satisfied to send it.
