JOHNSON WRITES FROM SWITZERLAND ARCHIBALD JOHNSON REVIEWS THE GARVEY MOVEMENT—EN- DORSES PLANET'S POSITION —AN ALEE REVIEW OF THE SITUATION. Mourneux, Switzerland. Editor of The Planet. I heartily oud use and support the fair, and common sense view you take of the "Black Star Line" venture and its founder. He is not told to this lighthouse, broad minded, sensible reception, his plans and not marrow on role, joyless, erratic and predicting failure and defeat. If its venture is then cherrieing well, so I take off my hat to Mr. Garvey, where he worn or however Black and shouted "him arrests the seas. Go out! And God stood your efforts." For so 40 the book of time there is no record of any man of African blood bavring put ships of merchant so on the broad oceans, navigated and painted by men of African birth and blood. The store, bon r to whom honor dude? For, why should the bravery of the Rise sound by and so this man upon by one man with a swolled head simply become Garvey has now a new kind of university education? He has made a very practical application of what odes the heathen to and has a new ahead of some of us who have excel long and eagerly by the in-bright lamp. TWO GOOD REASONS. Two good reasons, their force pres ent themselves in accepting Mrs. Garvey's plans of their face value: (1) We owe it to the ma hins if for he to venture and daring in attempting to transport African goods in his own ships. (2) We should patronize and help the ther to encourage Africans to unit above economic and commercial lines. The African man surely need outside sympathy to open up of their own blood. They need to have insisted into them that "Unholy strength." Also, poor Africans How sorry he his sons need outside sympathy. Either he help to stretch forth her hands. No longer do men go to Africa to steal the man himself they go to steal his land, his inheritance and patroness. The Western world does not here half as much of the hardships on the dark side as do England. Residence in London is on a pivotal pla. The area of England or always with as has the wall of sorrow and anguish that continually comes to our side in India, Egypt and Africa under the writhing he of the foreign politicians, is extremely heart rending.

BARRIE OF WHISKEY DWINDLES WHILE COURT TRIES CASE. Citizens Appear in Irritable Mood, Some Streached on Court Green as Though It Were Madummer- Frints of Use of Rubber Hose, From Soda Fountain, Combined With Bicycle Pump Tin, Can., Bortles, and Jus. With Tell-Tale Odor. (1) $ \frac {1}{2}x-1 > 3 $ In tearful admiration traveling, men who returned to Richmond Saturday from Southside Virginia, described yesterday "has all who desired, in the town of Lawrenceville, recently had been let at government expense how moon blue had been dawning as water and box the contents of serious liquor had dwindled during the events of the court. On February 11, according to the reports, trambit back to Richmond, prohibit agents raided a st II not far from Lawrenceville and found some sixty gallons of corn whisky dwelling on toners. The whisky was put in a bung, the lung of which was made secure with a combo, and canned by Lawrenceville. AFNS LEGENDATE HEARING To save time the prohibit on officers in custody to be in immediate proximity hearing of the case and after some difficulty succeeded in carrying the barred into the courtroom. With it in mind putting concerts its latest every gallons - the barred was placed to ap, not far from a window in the rear of the courtroom. Many a gaudy eyed it thristly, enviously. Presently the hearing began in the presence of a large and interested crowd. A close observer might have noticed that a number of men stood throughout the proceeding in close away between the presiding justice and the barred; but officers, witnesses and court were so intent on the case that they paid no attention to the corpse deficiet. When the hearing was concluded, the crowd distressed and the prohibition agents prepared to roll "exhibit A" on a strong room. The first move, of the, suspicious. The barred was strangely and ominously light. Soon on showed that instead of sixty gallons, it contained on y fifteen. In position likewise showed that every citizen of Lawrenceville who had an appetite for liquor appeared in an hibernation mood. Some citizens in fact, were stretched on the court green at though it were midsummer. USED REPRIER HOSE ON RAPRE Who had happened, the publicity he had made, not from our own crowd. If it were of Lawyer press, he would be asked for the theory of the dis- pairance of foot five gallons of corn brown in the very old of justice, he will possess personal insurance, how will admit they say? then a rub beose was borrowed from a soda bottle that a bicycle pumkin was collected temporarily from a store and while a number of men presented a bill to the court, twenty-five gallons were pumped and a phone from the barred, through the windows and into vessels of a humped varieties held by so many men. And if the toiling men who heard this expla- sion appeared nerdish, he was invited by his offender to examine yellow of the courthouse and only the test of his nostalgia to the litter of tin cans, bottles, jugs and tin pans that lay around the green. About all of them it is covered diluted with the odor of the vanish of forty-five gallons. (News Leader March 7, 1921.) ```markdown ``` Mr. W. H.

Dear Editor: Yours of February 18, 1921, calling my attention to the two schools of thought, among race leaders, recently I have read the story of race leaders as published in your valuable paper. It matters not so much to me as to which school the writers are from as much as to whether either of them are leaders who are able to mould character and establish a strong nation of the race, as each has present on his side of the question. To my mind, it is not the question as to whether this is a white man's country or not. Paul has recorded it in Act 172 "And bath made of one blood of nations and men for to awaken all the face of the earth. And both determined the time be appointed I and the bound of their abilitation. The frames of the Declaration of Independence unanimously believe that when they had written in that incarnation that we believe that all men are treated equally. It was not so prepared in that inferred of written that this was to be a white man's country or not. Are constitution born with "We the people." Now who are the people? Lee olden Corry born, attained the Christian opinion, as to the purpose of this nation was so framed as established. Gentle back to the school of the leaders, this is not the time to take up to the leader and His school, as rather it is to who his teacher has been. Paul boasted of being at the feet of group teachers, but when God wanted to use him. He caused him to become blind. After he received his sight, he then saw Christ only and only and his teaching. He then gave to us the true thought as I have stated in Acts, 17:26. A house divided, cannot stand. I am merely concerned about the good firmly believe that the time is not for in the future when Ethiopia will in reality stretch forth hands into God; and God in his own way will bring forth a leader of the race to lead His people, not the white man, but His people, who are will to serve Him and keep His commitments. And whether the people are willing to follow the leader ship as taught by Chrii, love for his neighbor, then there will be no race questions, love and peace will reign in the hearts of all the people that dwell upon the earth.

Street, Northwest. At an early hour the church edifice pledged to capacity by a crowd of fifty three thousand persons. The meeting, once opened a slight downturn of momentum, accounted for the sudden indipendence of the man who would have been the principal speaker, and his consequent inability to attend. However, the other speakers enthusiastically forced themselves in to the breach and saved the day. The speakers were J. Finley Wilson, editor of the Washington Back; Attorney Armand W. Scott, Attorney Wilson; Rev. Brooks, of the 19th Street Bantry, church and Mr. Arthur W. Mitchell, who presided. A great wave enthusiasm was aroused by the reading by the young cat son of Rev.

In his brief remarks Mr. Gilpin, in toothed by Mr. McGowan as "the greatest artist of life race" and jokingly that in the O'Gradal late the dead were supposed to be compelled to erase a bridge of red hot iron before entering Paradise.

President Elect, on Eye of Imagina- tion, declares Republic Cannot and Will Not Fail If Each and Every One Does Marson, Aiko, March 3—Warren G. Perlind's last expression as a private citizen is given in this interview. "This republic cannot and will not it all of us does his part. If we work, are thrifty and seek that understanding which reveals mutuality of interest, no difference can long abode. Our great assurance at home insists in an intelligent resolute people in a bind unraveled by war, at enmity with no people, enjoying none cover ing gathing, seeking no territory, driving no choice which do not because itRIGHTS notion. It there is one thing in my heart more than another it is that at the end of the clothing administration here comes the America we either tell from the fathers without the sun rover of a single part. I only wish for our America our truly America. I know there is not a man or a woman who does not regard in American society, and who does not want it preserved. We create trustworthy. We will a valuable relationship everywhere, we offer peace and chance to provide it, but we defend our freedom and our own America. I believe an American current on the wars requested in every course of trade will be enter at home and enter in children a throughout the world." I like to think of an America whose citizens are eye peeking the greatest development and influences of the republic, and I like to think of a government which protects its citizens everywhere they go on a law in mission everywhere under the claiming sun. There is a new world relationship and when the next administration comes and power we're going to play our part. We're going to ask for nations associated together in justice but it must be an association on which surrenders nothing of American freedom. Our government good fortune does not have to any survival at either end of the country (at either the Capitol or the White House at either end of Legenyvant Avenue in Washington) but in the coordination and cooperation which becomes the two branch in a good and truly representative popular government. I have been thinking all the time at getting an organization best fitted to serve this country. I am a paranail I believe in party government, I have chosen a Republican Cabinet, but no selection has been made because of party collection without conederation for the best service of the country. I would rather have the respect and confidence of my homebound people who have known me intimately at all my life than to have been elected President. And I have a teaching that is being as I can continue to hold their respect and confidence I will be equipped at heart with doing my best for all the American people. When I am gone down at Washigton, I want to be able to come home and again be a part of the home community." COLOR: LINE CANNOT BE WIPED OUT, SAYS BALFOUR. To Give Honour Rights to Blackes Would Threaten Whose Fabric of Civilization." London, Aug. 16. The South African Constitution bill passed second reading in the House of Commons to treat without a dissenting vote. In the debate of Premier Balfour and that in defence with a constitution for the federation of South African colonies (on van Cure Colony, Triumphe River State and Natal) the honour was discussing one of the most important events in the history of the British Empire. "The bill" he declared is a most wonderful issue from all the contre veries, it has bloodhed and difficult to peace and I believe the good cannot show anything like it. The race problem is out a fractional part of the great questions Parliament is now deciding. I deny that it is intended to give the colored races equality with Europeans. As far as the government, society and the higher forms of civilization are concerned it would be impossible to give equal rights to the colored races without threatening the whole fabric of civilization. In my opinion the best hope for the solution of this great problem is to place absolute and implicit confidence in the represeative institutions he south Africans now are creating end for the Home government not to arise with it." WE SERVE - INFORM - ADVERTISE THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia State Library RACE - COUNTRY - WORLD NEWS VOLUME XXXVIII, NO.18 MR. JOHNSON WRITES FROM SWITZERLAND ARCHIBALD JOHNSON REVIEWS THE GARVEY MOVEMENT—ENDORSES PLANET'S POSITION—AN ABLE REVIEW OF THE SITUATION. Montreux, Switzerland. Editor of The Planet. I heartily endorse and support the fair, just and common sense view you take of the "Black Star Line" venture and its founder. He is entitled to this liberal, broad-minded, sensible reception of his plans and not narrow-minded, jealous, criticism predicting failure and defeat. It is venture is the thin entering wedge, so I take off my hat to Mr. Garvey, wherever born or however Black and shout to him across the seas, Go on! And God speed your efforts! For in the book of those who record of any man of African blood having put ships of merchandise so on the broad oceans, navigated and manued by men of African brain and blood. Therefore, honor to whom honor is due! For, why should the brainy man of the Race stand by and see this man set upon by some man with a swelled head, simply because Garvey has never had higher university education? He has made a very practical application of what education he has attested and has gotten ahead of some of us who have sweat jong and eagerly by the midnight lamp. TWO GOOD REASONS. Two good reasons, therefore press out themselves for accepting Mr. Garvey's plans at their face value: (1) We owe respect to the man, himself for his courage and daring in attempting to transport African goods in his own ships. (2) We should patronize and help the time to encourage Africans to unite along economic and commercial lines. The African men surely need outside sympathy from people of their own blood. They need to have instilled in them that Unity is strength. "Alas, poor Africa! How sorely for our hands outside sympathy. Ethiop needs help to stretch forth her hands! No longer do men go to Africa to steal the man himself they go to steal his land, his inheritance and patrimony. The Western world does not hear half as much of the hardships of the dark races as do in England. Residence in London is on a pivotal point. The groups of Ireland are always with us; but the wall of sorrow and anguish and anguish from India, Egypt and Africa under the grinding heat of the English politicians, is extremely heart rending. SOUTH AFRICA. England, after the Boer war, eager to placate Brother Boer, handed her colored subjects over to the tender mercedes of the Dutch Farmers, bound politically, hand and foot.

BARREL OF WHISKY DWINDLES WHILE COURT TRIBES CASE. --- Citizens Appear in Hilarious Mood, Some Stretched on Court Green as Though. It Were Mdsummer— Hints of Use of Rubber Hose, From Soda Fountain, Combined With Bicycle Pump—Tin, Cans, Bottles and Jugs with Tell-Tale Odor. In tearful admiration traveling men who returned to Richmond Saturday from Southside Virginia, described yesterday how all who desired, in the town of Lawrenceville recently had wasted at government expense how amphoshine had been flowing as water and how the contents of a mysterious barrel had dwindled under the eyes of the court. On February 14, according to the reports brought, back to Richmond, production agents raided a still not far from the town, where some sixty gallons of corn whiskey awakening customers. The whiskey was put in a barrel, the bung of which was made secure with a corn cob, and was moved to Lawrenceville. ASKS IMMEDIATE HEARING. To save time, the prohibit on officers decided to ask for an immediate preliminary hearing of the case and after some difficulty, succeeded in carrying the barrel into the courtroom. With its incriminating contents—its fainted gallons—the barrel was placed being up, not far from a window in the rear of the courtroom. Many a gunbery eyed it thirstily, anxiously. Presently the hearing began in the presence of a large and interested crowd. A close observer might have noticed that a number of men stood throughout the proceeding 'n close array between the presiding justice and the barrel; but officers, witnesses and court were so intent on the case that they paid no attention to the corpus delicti. When the hearing was concluded, the crowd dispersed and the prohibit- on agents prepared to roll "exhibit A" to a strong room. The first move around the r. suspicion. The barrel was strangely and obviously light. In spectation showed that instead of sixty gallons, it contained on y fifteen. In spectation likewise showed that every citizen of Lawrenceville who had an appetite for liquor appeared in an hilarious mood. Some citizens in fact, were stretched on the court green as though it were midsummer. USED RUBBER HOSE ON BARREL When End happened, the proclaiming agents have not to this hour covered. If a citizen of Lawrenceville he asked for his theory of the disappearance of forty-five gallons of corn liquor in the very city of justice, he will profess personal ignorance, but will admit "they say" that a ruth herose was borrowed from a soda fountain that a bicycle pump was missed temporarily from a store and that while a number of men presented a solid screen to the court, forty-five gallons were pumped and siphoned from the barrel, through the window and into vessels of a hundred varieties held by as many men. And if the traveling man who heard this explanation appeared incredulous, he was invited by his informant to examine the vicinity of the courthouse and occupy the test of his nostrils to the litter of tin cans, bottles, jugs and tin pans that lay around the green. About all of these it is overturned silled hinged the odor of the vanishd forty-five gallons. (News Leader March 7, 1921.) --- —Mr. W. H.

RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, MARCH 12, 1921. MIE. BRYAN SPEAKS Turtle Creek, PA. February 23, 1921. John Mitchell, Jr. Richmond, Virginia. Dear Editor:— Yours of February 18, 1921, calling my attention to the two schools of thought, among race leaders, recieved. I have read the story of race leaders as published in your valuable paper. It matters not so much to me as to which school the writers are from as much as to whether either of them are leaders in the race or a strong character and establish a strong nation of the race, as each has prescended his side of the question. To my mind, it is not the question as to whether this is a white man's country or not. Paul has recorded it in Act 17:23 "And bath made of one blood all nations, and men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and determined the Cause be fore appointed and the bound of their habitation. The framers of the Declaration of Independence undoubtedly believed that when they had written in that instrument that we believe that, all men we created equal. It was not so intended in that instrument of writing whether this was to be a white man "country or not. "The Constitution begins with, "We the people." Now, who are the people? Lincoln at Gettysburg, affirmed the who in his opinion, as to the purpose for which this nation was so framed or established. Coming back to the school of the leaders, this is not the time to take up as to the leader and I is school, as much as it is to who his teacher has been. Paul hoasted of being at the foot of greig teachers, but when God wanted to use him. He caused him to become blind. After he received his aide, he saw Christ only and only and he saw the truth. He then gave to us the two thought that I have stated in Acts. 17-26. A house divided, cannot stand. I am personally concerned about the race and firmly believe that the time is not far in the future when Ethiopia will an reality stretch forth her hands unto God; and God in his own way will bring forth a leader of the race to lead His people, not the white man, but His people, who are willing to serve Him and keep His commands. And whether the people are willing follow the leader ship as taught by Christ, or for his neighbor, then there will be race questions. Love and peace will reign in the hearts of all the people that dwell upon the earth. W. A. BRYANS. SECOND PAN-AFRICAN CONGRESS B. BULLETIN. The First Pan-African Congress met February 19, 20, 21, 1919 at the Grand Hotel, Paria, and was attended by 57 delegates representing 16 different countries. This Congress appointed a permanent committee and ordered a Second Pan-African Congress to meet in Paris in 1921. In accordance with this decision the Second Pan-African Congress will meet during the first week in September 1921. There will be probably be three successive sessions—one in London, one in Brussels and one in Paris. All the details of time and place have naturally not yet been settled. Membership in the Second Pan-African Congress will be restricted to regularly chosen delegates. Guests with all privileges, (except that of voting) will be welcome. Any organization of persons of Negro descent or of persons whose chief work is with and for the Negro race, will be entitled to send delegates according to the following tentative plan which is subject to criticism and change in succeeding bulleties: organizations with a membership under 1000, one delegate; 1000 and under 5000, 2 delegates; 5000 and under 10,000, 3 delegates; 10,000 and under 50,000, 1 delegates; 50,000 and under 100,000, 5 delegates; 1000,000 or more, seven delegates according to special agreement. The expenses of each delegate will be borne by the organization which soads him or by the delegate himself. Each organization will be laxed a small sum for each delegate. This sum will be used to defray the general expenses of the meeting, and will probably be Ten Dollars per delegate. The expenses of attendance from New York and return will be between $500 and $750 per delegate, depending upon the class of accommodation on the boat and in hotels, the length of stay, etc. This bulletin is being sent to as many persons of prominence and organization as we can reach in the United States and East Indies, South America, Africa and Europe. It is requested that persons receiving bt cr reading it should write us immediately suggesting other persons to whom invitations might be sent and stating the likelihood of they themselves being able to attend and the organization which they would probably represent.

At the same time he was being sought by the South Carolina author ites for the alleged murder of two policemen in Greenville. Governor Cooper of South Carolina made an effort to have Wilkins carried back to that State for trial claiming it was entitled to first trial inasmuch as the crimes charged against him there were committed prior to the Virginia crime.

Newton, Ga., March 5—Will Ander sony, colored was shot and killed Friday afternoon in Baker County by a crowd of men who were searchng for Zema Anthony, colored who last Wednesday fatally shot Deputy Sheriff Oscar McDonald and on Thurs day shot Peter Watson a white farm er, probably faqally. According to reports received here Anderson who lives in the Seventh District appeared carrying a rifle and shotgun and was told to go home with his guns.

CAPACITY CROWD AT ANTI-KU KLUX, MEETING, That the people of Washington, D.C., are earnestly interested in and opposed to the resurrection of the pernicious Ku Klux Klan was emphatically demonstrated Monday evening, February 28, upon the occasion of an anti-Ku Klux Klan demonstration staged under the musics of The Cru under Magazine at the Metropolitan Baptist Church R. Street, Northwest. At an early hour the church edifice was packed to capacity by a crowd of fully three thousand persons. The meeting experienced a slight derangement of program on account of the sudden indisposition of the man who was to have been the principal to attend. However, the other speakers enthusiastically forced the to the breach and saved the day. The speakers were: J. Finley Wilson, editor of the Washington Eagle; Attorney Armand W. Scott, Attorney Wilson; Roy. Brooks, of the 19th Street Baptist church and Mr. Arthur W. Mitchell, who presided. A great wave enthusiasm was aroused by the reading by the young est son of Rev. Brooks of an original poem on the Ku Klux Klan. A substantial sum was taken up for the work of counter propaganda which The Crusader is organizing to meet the hate-snitching propaganda of the Klan, and for which purpose it has already appointed a Committee of Propaganda. The meeting was arranged and organized by Miss Florence Hunt, to whose indelible energy is largely due its success. GILPIN HAS HONOR PLACE AND DRAMATIC LEAGUE DINNER White Artist Join in Giving Ovation to "Leader of Race" on Stage. Charles F. Golph, star of "The Emperor Jones," was the guest of hon 65 hosts highly applauded last Sunday night at the annual dinner of the Drama League at the Hotel McAlpin, despite the fact that bitter diction raged for a time as to whether or he should be invited. When his turn came to speak he was greeted with a storm of hand-chipping and some cheering, which quite celled that accorded Dudley, the youngest of three Margaret Severn and others who had preceded him. And the artists who had spoken first did their best to make his greeting the most hearty. Although Mr. Gilpin has expressed doubt that he would be able to attend the dinner, using 10 other engagements, he had announced that he would certainly drop around to the dinner to thank personally those who, like David Delasco and Jacob Ben-Ami, had praised his work on the stage. He was able, however, to reach the McAlpin with the other guests and remain during the entire evening. His place was a prominent one, several seats to the right of Kenoch MacGowan, the chairman, between Gilda Veres, star of "Enter Madame," and Mrs. Ro8a Kirby, a director of the League. The others present of the ten artists selected as the head of the most for the art of the theatre during the 1970s year were Dudley Digges, director of "Heartbreak House"; Miss Verea, Lionel Anuffi, star in "Beburah"; Lee Simonson, designer of the settings used in "Heartbreak House"; Margaret Severn a dancer who introduced the use of masks in the "Green weeh village folios;" and Jacob Ben Ami. Miss Verosil was one of the stunchest defenders of Mr. Gilpin as an artist entitled to receive recognition. She had telegraphed the League during the discussion that she would be proud to sit next to him and deplored doing American art a wrong by excluding him. In that he remarks Mr. Gilpin, in trotted by Mr. MacLachlan, the greatest artist of his race, and looking that in the Oriental love the dead were supposed to be compelled to cross a bridge of red hot iron be fore embracing Paradise. Speaking to an audience unseparated from him by footlights was a similar experience. "Really I am as nervous as a cat," he said, "but I must here thank you all and the public and press for the kind treatment given my efforts and for calling me 'artist.' The word 'is something I always thought of as way off of wonder, but not something I could ever attain.' My ambition is to make my art stand out, if I have succeeded in giving any of you an evening of pleasure I am very happy." The dinner of the Drama League ellipsoid the expectations of the dinner committees to such an exent that its emotions were somewhere between happiness and despair. Although about 250 was the number it was thought some days ago would come fully 600 made their appearance and as a result the ballroom of the Melalin was jammed and many other guests dined in another room and came into the ballroom so the adresses after the tables had been moved out. Fred Stone, David Belas co and Eugene O'Neil the latter anthor of "The Emperor Jones," were unable to be present to receive the tribute to their art. --- CONGRESS IN LAST MINUTE RUSH PASSES MEASURES.

A President-Elect, on Eve of Inauguration, Declares Republic Cannot and Will Not Fall If Each and Every One Dies. Marion, Ablo, March 3—Warron G. Harding's last expression as a private citizen is given in this interview: "This republic cannot and will not fail if each of us does his part. If we but work, are thrifty and seek that understanding which reveals mutually of interest, no differences can long abide. Our great assurance at home lies in an intelligent resolute people, in a land unravaged by war, at enmity with no people, enjoying none, cover ing nothing, seeking no territory, striving for no glories which do not become a righteous nation. If there is one thing in my heart than another it is that at the end of the coming administration here remains America we inherited from the fathers without the sur render of a single part. I only wish for our America a soul truly American. I know there is not a man or a woman who does not rejoice in American solidarity, and who does not want it preserved. We crave fraternity. We wish anti-cable relations everywhere, we offer peace and choose to promote it, but we demand our freedom and our own America: I believe an America, eminent on the seas, respected in every avenue of trade, will be safer at home and greater in influence throughout the world. I like to think of an America whose citizens are eve reckening of the greater development and influence of the republic, and I like to think of government which protects its citizens everywhere they go on a lawful mall—everywhere under the shining sun. There is a new world relationship and when the next administration comes into power we're going to play our part. We're going to ask for nations associated together in justice; but it must be an association which surrenders nothing of American freedom. Our government good fortune does not lie in any surmier at either end of the avenue (at either the Capitol or the White House at either end of Pennsylvania) Avenue in Washington); but in the co-ordination and co-operation which becomes the two branches in a great and truly representative popular government. I have been thinking all the time of getting an organization best fit to serve this country. I am a partisan I believe in party government. I have chosen a Republican Cabinet, but no election has been made because of party obligation without consideration for the best service of the country. I would rather have the respect and confidence of my home-town people who have known me intimately all my life than to have been elected President. And I have a feeling that so long as I can continue to hold their respect and confidence I will be credited at least with doing my best for all the American people. Whe if am through down at Wash ington, I want to be able to come lack home and again be a part of the home community." COLOR LINE CANNOT BE WIPED OUT, SAYS BALLOUR "To Give Hqual Rights to Blacks Would Threaten Whole Fabric of Civilization." London, Aug. 16.—The South African Constitution bill passed second reading in the House of Commons to night without a dissenting vote. In the debate ex-Premier Balfour said that in dealing with a constitution for the federation of South African colonies (Transvaal, Cape Colony, Orange River State and Natal) the House was discussing one of the most important events in the history of the British Empire. "The bill," he declared is a most wonderful issue from all the contro verses, b less, bloodshed and difficulties to peace, and I believe the world cannot show anything like it. The race problem is but a fractional part of the great questions Parliament is now deciding. I deny that it is intended to give the colored races equality with Europeans. As far as the government, society, and the higher forms of civilization one could it would be impossible to give equal rights to the colored races without threatening the whole fabric of civilization. In my opinion the best hope for the solution of this great problem is to place absolute and implicit confidence in supportive institutions the south Africans now are creating end for the some government not to missile with it."

There has been no present, financial change in the attitude of the administration and its frends announce that it has not had time. --- If colored men were not lynched in Chesterfield county during the last few days, it was not because the local newspapers did not do all in their power to bring about such a result. The publication of exciting accounts of a happening that did not happen could not be susceptible to any other conclusion. INCETING MOB VIOLENCE. The Richmond Times Dispatch's reportorial columns of the 8th inst., are responsible for the following: Richmond police, headed by Captains A. S. Wright, and Zimmer last night rescued Lewis Breton, a Negro suspect in the Chesterfield County attack case, from the very hands of an organized mob of about 100 men, who with forty automobiles, were forming at Stop 26 preparatory to again seizing the Negro. Police in Richmond were notified early in the evening that an attempt would be made to lynch the Negro, and raced to the scene in automobiles, got the colored man out of bed and took him book to Third District Station where he is now locked up for safe keeping. The mob was still congregated near a store at Loop 26 at 2 o'clock last night and showed no signs of leaving. They had about forty automobiles but it was declared by Richmond police that there was no fear of any attack on the fail where the Negro was held. In the party which notified the Negro of his danger were Captains Wright and Zimmer and Lieutenant Archie C. Holt and Detective Sergent Wylie, from Detective Headquarters. The Negro's a suspect, whom Miss Pease was unable to identify and yes terday is declared by the police to have positively identified as not the man whom attacked her last Sunday afternoon near Stop 26. This action on the part of the Attichmond Police was highly commendable and emphasizes the fact that we have some of the best white people in this locality, as good as any to the found anywhere else in the country. Its shows too the dangers of lynch-law and tells a story that is as impressive as the action of the authorities here was in keeping with the spirit and letter of the law. The newspapers published that the white lady had been "attacked." The manifest inference was and is that two colored men put their hands upon the person of the white lady in question. What is the common, everyday meaning of "Attack?" Webster says, "To fall upon with force; to assail as with force and arms. To make an attack upon; to assault." What are the facts? Miss Medora Pease is quoted as follows: "I was coming from Richmond, where I had been visiting friends, on the 21 o'clock car. Being just in time for Sunday School, I did not go past my home which is at Stop 21, but procured direct to the church. Leaving the car at Stop 26, I started for the Petersburg pike by way of a path. The Nogro was standing in Floyd's field when I first saw him. 'Stop,' he cried. If you holler I'll cut your throat. But holler I did all the way from the field to the road, where I saw an automobile approaching. Dr. Bowman stopped his car, took me in and brought me home." In that statement there is not one sembla of evidence that this colored man pursued Miss Poise. In plain language, he accosted her and for this, an effort was made not only to take his life, but to endanger the life of every colored citizen who in any manner tabulated with the description of the foolish colored man, who accosted her. More than this, a half hundred automobiles were mustered into service and after the ground had been trampled by hundreds of excited white men and boys, blood-hounds were brought to the scene of the alleged crime with the probability that would be just as liable to follow the scent of an innocent man as they would that of the guilty one. We are pleased to know then that the white people of Richmond did not "lose their heads" as so many in Chesterfield county seem to have done. Sheriff Gill of Chesterfield county is one of the ablest and best county officers anywhere in the country and he could be relied upon to up hold the law, whether the parties alleged to be guilty were white or colored. It seems to us that the whole affair was a case of "much ado about nothing." If no scare headings had been placed in the newspapers and the man guilty or even this offense had not been advised of the agitation being made over it, he no doubt would now be in the county jail at Chesterfield Court House. We have warned our people against this kind of action. We have told them not to even look at a white woman. If you see one coming down a road unaccompanied, get out of the way for thousands of them he flee that men of our race cannot maze upon their beauty, other than in a justful way. We know that, this is a mistake, but if they believe it, let it be that way and let us act accordingly. Certainly, no colored man with taste or with commonsense, who lives in the Southland where white men have been "busy" for more than one hundred years, need go outside of their own "barn-yard" for companionship. We have women as black as the blackest and as white as the whitest with varying hues to satisfy the most fondidious. We have women with black hair, auburn hair, white hair, red hair and every other kind of hair. Even those, who formerly had "wool" on their heads, thanks to the hair-dressers have as straight hair as a Commanche Indian, and with little or no attention, it can be kept in that condition. We therefore have no sympathy with any colored man, who would risk his health and happiness on this earth and his chances for heaven by even looking at a white woman "in this book of the world." But with a little missionary work, all of our people will be able to come in a movement to allay this kind of excitement. Let white men have the white women, both as sweet hearts and wives and let the colored men have the white-colored women, the yellow colored women, the brown colored women, even though black is the absence of all colors and let the white men "shin on their side" and the black men "shin on their side" and then there will be peace and happiness in the land, "which the Lord, thy God giveth thee." MORE ABOUT GARVEY We are receiving communications with reference to the Du Bols-Garvey controversy. We are doing what we can to permit the respective advocates to be heard. We have not been yet able to see why an attack should be made upon the Universal Improvement Association and its kindred corporations unless there are evidences of fraud in the movement and the promoters are not trying in good faith to carry out the purposes of the great organization. We cannot see why any other group or body of man, who do not agree with the organizers of the present movement should not launch an organization of their own in competition with the one already organized. We are of the pointon that the Negroes must enter into the field of finance and commercialism that they must stand in their own shoes, that they must market their own products and that they must deal with the white commercial organizations as an organization and not as individuals in order to come unto their own in this great financial con- THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA test. The Negroes have the brain, the brawn and the money, if they learn how to concentrate and use all three, the future of the world will be determed along peaceful dimes rather than along the lines of war. The day of brute force is passing. The recent world war settled that. We hope to discuss this subject in detail, but for the present, let the war-fire among the Negroes themselves cease. Citizens of color, who believe in "America first" and who intend to demand all of their rights and privileges in this country, rather than enqrate to any other must necessarily take a friendly attitude towards the gruffles of their brethren, who see an El Dorado beyond the seas. We should encourage the movement, for with every black man who leaves America will come added influence and power to those, who are left behind. As to whether this organization or leader secures large sums of money to back the movement is a question of secondary consideration. These men are responsible to the people, whose money they are collecting and using and we have a friendly consideration towards that class of people, who are doing the protesting. If Hon. Marcus Garvey is dishonest and Dr. Du Bots declares he believes that he is honest; if he is advocating visionary plans and propositions, then let the warfare go on until he is unhorsed and his great organization has been disbanded. Men who believe these things against him can connect outfously continue the war-fare, while those who believe to the contrary should valiantly support him. Solah. A "WILD GOOSE" CHASE After much damaged has been done to the innocent, unsuspected colored citizens, the Richmond press have toned down their, head-lines with reference to the episode in Chesterfield county. As an evidence of this we quote from the News-Leader of the 9th inst.: "COTTON JONES QUICKLY GIVEN HIS FREEDOM." YOUNG WOMAN DECLARES MAN ARRESTED IS NOT ONE WHO ACCOSTED HER. Cotton Jones was not the Negro who attacked a young Chesterfield county woman near Stop 21 Petersburg Lane on Sunday afternoon. He was taken before her early this afternoon by Detective Sheriff Hallett and positive denial was made by the young woman that he was not the man. She described her assailant having been considerably larger than Cotton. The Negro was conveyed back to Petersburg after being taken before her at her home near Stop 21. After his arrest yesterday afternoon about 3 o'clock Jones was carried to the county jail at the Chesterfield courthouse and held there. At 9 o'clock this morning the officers were making plans to drive across the country some eight miles away, to the home of the young woman, though they declared that there was no great hurry. Jones was taken from an eastbound Norfolk and Western train in Petersburg yesterday morning, having been found mating the "Blinds." He was taken to the office of Justice of Peace J. H. Holbs and escaped while a warrant was being issued for him. A pose, headed by Sheriff Gill of Chesterfield, and Sheriff Boisseau of Prinie George, was formed immediately and a bloodhound was scented in Petersburg. After a roundabout trail of several miles the posse found the Negro on the railroad about one mile east of Disputanta yesterday after noon about", 3 o'clock. He was rear rested without resistance and was taken to the Chesterfield jail. It will be observed that in place of the word, "attacked" as first used the word 'accented' has been substituted This was the proper word to have been used in the first instance. We risk the opinion that not less than one thousand dollars have been expended in this "wild goose" chase. In the meantime, thieves are looting houses, individuals are cutting and injuring each other, while the officers are called upon to chase boot-leggers, find whiskey and look for men, who have committed no felonious crime.

Editor:— There appeared in your paper on February 19th, 1921 an article written by Mr.Madurikan Denyi of Lagus Nigeria, West Africa, in which he makes a ferocious attack to 'dis credit the Garvey Movement to establish a black Republic 'in Africa' and invites the readers of said article to write him in relation to the same, and I am asking you for space to accept the invitation. In the first place the attack sounds more like malice, hatred and spite, than of a sober, deliberate, dispassion ate and impartial statement of facts which strips it of whatever force it might otherwise have. And M. Denyi seems to be entirely lacking in the knowledge of the motive which actuates and animates Mr. Marc Garvey in this, the great est of all movements over undertaken by any colored man! This movement is not a money making scheme as Mr. Denyi alleges but is a movement to transplant a race from one continent to another and there to gradually build an Ethiopian republic. Why? Because we have on political and civil status any where else on earth; and consequently it can not be a money making scheme whereo much is needed to keep moving along. We have statute and constitutional rights in this country, but what are they to us? Mere scraps of paper, since public sentiment is the law of the land in this country. And those laws have been apart of the constitution of the United States and on the Statute books for nearly fifty years; but do they function? No, they are evaded ignored and wholly disregarded. I think it is written in the Declaration of Independence that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed. And again, that taxation without representation is tyranny, but now, all these noble fundamentals are treated as more "scrapes of paper." In Congress to day, we have about 43 representatives who occupy their seats by virtue of the colored population; and whenever we attempt to elect just a few of them to represent us the cry of Negro domination is heralded from one end of the country to the other. The Founders of this country did not make the indians citizens because it was a difficult matter to assimilate them, they did not impose taxation upon them because they gave them no voice in the government. Whatever personal qualifications we may be deficient in there is one undeniable fact, we are endowed with as keen a sensitive feeling as any people on earth and there is much descrimination that is keenly felt by us and is hard to endure. When we attempt to exercise our civil rights, the illusive alarm of social equality is raised. Social equality is a matter of personal choice; no person can force his presence upon another he must be invited; but business or political mixing is not social equality, and right here, let me say to Mr. Deniyi that we have every obligation of the government imposed upon us without enjoying any of its benefits. Are not these sufficient reasons to create a desire for a governmental home of our own? All Europe is now moving to America all the rate of a hundred thousand a month, and as this country becomes more and more congested by the influx of foreign peoples, employment will become more difficult, and wages will fall proportionately. Who will be the greatest sufferer in that event? Why the colored man? In about a hundred years from now at the present rate of increase there will be about 350,000,000 white people in this country and about 50,000,000 colored people, and in another hundred years, this country will be like India, China, and Japan. What will become of the colored people then? It should be borne in mind that at this time, this country is the gravy itating center of the world, all people are rushing here for a haven of rest and money making. And by and by a reaction will set in and awful will be the clob! If colored people shared on equal chance and opportunity with other people there would be no special cause for Alarm. But Mr. Garvey sees this and is trying to prepare for it. It is not expected that any appreciable percentage of the present population of colored people will pull up and go to Africa and for that matter there will always be some colored people in this country, matters not what kind of a republic is erected in Africa, but the object is to pro vide a home a refuge and independent government, and every thoughtful and self respecting colored person should give it his support whether he ever expects to go to Africa or not and white people should give it their approval. Having given some of the reasons or motives why the Garvey Movement should not be obstructed but encourage aged and supported, I will now attempt to sift out some of Mr. Donlyl's errors in the other parts of his unrestrained attack. So far as the Liberian Liberty Bond transaction is concerned I know nothing at all. But suppose Mr. Garvey can setthat matter right. He says that "Marcus Garvey and his followers talk too much." It is to be admitted that a great deal said, would have been far better left unsaid. But a man of Mr. Garvey's zealous and enthusiastic temp erament, urged on by the greatness and glory of his cause it is not strong that he should at times let his zeal get the better of his judgment.

CORONA, NEW YORK CITY - COMFORTS Shoes, Skirts, R spreads, Curtains TERMS RGAIN HOUSE PHONE MADISON 71 MR. JOHNSON WRITES (Continued from First Page.) During the South African Constitution Law in the House of Commons, liberal minded English politicians talked at the committal of all native rights to the Boers. The Primo Minister, Mr. Asquith salved his confidence by saying he hoped it was only for a time. While the opposition, the Tory party, led by Mr. Balfour, went all angst in agreement with the Boers in robbing the natives of these customary rights as British subjects. I end you a cutting I then made from the London Times, where Mr. Balfour said: "I deny that it is intended so on to the end). The daily life of such cities as Philadelphia, Boston, New York and providence, where equally is practiced, give the lie completely tq the assertions of this wooden-headed, oggy English politician. He has ever been anything but a third-rate politician. In his younger days he was so effominate that, in Parliament he dubbed him 'Fanny.' He gained office and prestige because he was ephephe to the late Lord Salisbury. He is past his best days. At general elections he frequently is left stranded without a constituency. When Booker T. Washington was ast in London, some of the newspapers who contended for the best interests of the African descent in U. S. A. regarded Mr. Washington as a spineless, weakened, sycophant, betraying the virility and grit of his race for a mess of potage; but Balfour hung on his every word, followed him about and delighted himself with his views. FORBIDDEN TO PRACTICE LAW Perhaps it is not known in the Western world that at Cape Town, colored men are absolutely forbidden to practice law. Smuts and his Bar Association, many of them born in Holland, forbid the native to go into a court to earn a living. The same is true in the Southern N'gera. Both legal and medical men must be white. And the recent land grabbing in Rhodesia under process of law, where the poor native does not own and has to pay rent for the few feet of land on which he builds his hut, or kronat. The robbery in Rhodes a is a crime in the sight of high heaven and a stink in the nostril of men of African blood all over the planet earth, Texas and Mississippi can not show anything more drastic than the refusal to practice law. Only think of the enormous wealth that has been robbed from the natives of South Africa. White adventurers, poor and even destitute, have gone out there and piled up their millions, Descendants of native chefs have either, like Gatway's eldest son, been imprisoned or like Lobengula's, who died a consumptive in a coal mine in England, been driven out of South Africa. Then the quality of the adventurers and usurpers dominating the poor black man on his own soil is a farce. Think of the priest-ridden, offended Portuguese dominating an African civilization, more wail and active than themselves. While it is true in South Africa, as in the interior native chiefs have not yet learned to combine, the old chiefs are being succeeded by younger men who have been to Europe, men who know and whom Mr. Garvey's plans are designed to teach that all things political are possible to those who unite with each other. The native chiefs in the interior of Africa, if united and had arms for their men, could even now drive out the white usurpers. Mr. Garvey's dream is not so cinematic as the white press and jealous colored men make out. Why should the humoral bankrupt Belgian dominate Africans better than themselves. Think of the criminal record, the trail of blood, of murderous outrage following along behind that's one people. Think of the carving up of Africa by white men who at first crept familly into different lands saying, "We come to teach you of Christ." Next came the man with the national flag and the doom was sealed. Last September the English papers sent me from London ridiculed both DuBois and Carvay as a pair of cranks. The Daily Mail book reviewer alleged that the former wrote a little book and sent it over to Europe claiming the origin of the late war was in Africa and showed it was a clear case of the fly on the coach wheel (see me raise all this dust) as every schoolboy in Europe knows that the last war was of purely European origin and a mere corollary of the Franco-Prussian War of 1871-72. The press laughed over Garvey's words in Madison Square, but the English laughed over Arab Pasha's War and said no "was only a barber" but the kick Arab put into Egyptian affairs its still there, just as England is giving them a constitution. But colored men fight each other too much. Let us have peace. We are healing the breach the noble white man has made in our ranks, then shoulder to shoulder. Much to be thankful for!

Conference of Virginia and Baltimore Conference was present Sunday according to the invitation of Rev. James S. Hatcher, B. D, and preached one of the most fundamental sermons Sunday morning on The Holy Communion. His text was First Corpithans 11:26. In the most logical manner he reasoned and explained this all important subject. The offering for the day was $238. The people had quite a spiritual treat at Mt. Zion, Salem and Ebenezer A. M. E.

Among the great men born in the month of February, the Magic City boasts of one, Ding-It Hughes, who came from the Old North State some twenty-old years ago, got one drink from the Dog Mouth and here he is, and the founder of the Hogs, to boot. Just once a year Ding-it, has a birth day and for the first time since the beginning of the Hogs and their famous "blow outs" Little Willie was absent. How sad, but the boys really had some time while I was out in the State that gave to us our good friend Willard, the Candy Man (as the ladies call him—the great State of Tennessee. This birthday party of the Hogs in honor of the founder, Ding-Ig Hughes was pulled. Did they mjs me? Well I say they dish, but it was an excuse for them to do me honor though it was not my birthday, every few minutes some good Hog (would say, "Let's have one for Little Willie." But what good was it to me? But it served as an excuse, for like Elks, they shipped to an absent brother. This time the Dinner was served in the Odd Follows Hail and plates for seventy-five and Mountain Soda for twice that many. Oh, how I wish I had been there! Amen, for I can show some speed when it comes to that part of the program. Oh! its not a program, is it? No, it is a menu I am talking about. Well, any way that's where I shine and the fount of Mountain Soda, what was the Menu? How do I know when I was in Tennessee. But they had plenty eats and wash down, some song and some speeches, and in fact some time and some of the time was spent trying to locate the Mountain Soda, because Fish McCoy and several other Hogs slipped the Soda from its hiding place, some one found where Fish had put it and slipped it from there and for awhile it looked like it was to be a very dry evening, but the famous slouth (Soda slouth) Charlie Thompson got on the trail and soon had it in hand, then in order that some might be on hand for dinner, Proper Tate took charge and it was plain for all to see what became of what was gone when Proper Tate took his seat at head of the table as Toastmaster. the old Hogs presented to Ding-It on behalf of the Order of Hogs, a beautiful gold trimmed pipe in plush fired case. Ding It made his speech of acceptance in his usual North Carolina way, then the Toastmaster called Tight Wad Johnson, Secretary Treasurer of the Magic City Building and Loan Association, who gave a talk on business. He was followed by Dr. L. C. Downing, who spoke on Unity. In the absence of Mountain Duke, Mr. William Terry, an old Ranomoke boy, late of Boston, Mass. spoke on Friendship and entertained the Hogs with some good stories. Then Dr. Roberts, one of the charter members of the order spoke on charity; some subject for a doctor, who the boys claim is running Tight Wad Johnson a race for his first name.

It makes a very simple, inexpensive shampoo, which cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly of all the dandruff, dirt, and excess oil, leaving a wonderfully clean, wholesome feeling. After its use, you will find that the hair dries quickly and evenly, is never streaked in appearance and is always bright, soft and fluffy; so fluffy, in fact, that it looks more abundant than it is, and so soft that arranging it becomes a pleasure. Just use a teaspoonful of canthrox, which you can get from any good drugist, dissolve it in a cup of hot water; this makes a full cup of shampoo liquid, enough so it is easy to apply it to all the hair instead of just the top of the head.

THREE FOUR CROWDS PAY TRIBUTE IMPOSING IN DIGNITY. Spontaneous in Homage to Nation's New Leaders. Through Follows New President From Time He Starts for Capitol Until He Returns to White House. Aphasure Punctuates Speech. Sympathetic Sellence Greets Retiring Chief Magistrate—Jolice Have Little Difficulty Maintaining Order, Despite Great Outpouring of Residents and Visitors. Washington, D. C. March 5.—Simplicity was the keynote of the inauguration ceremonies yesterday but notting, not even the expressed wishes of the principal character in the excerpts as could dim the spontaneous tribute of the thousands to the new President. Thousands of visitors from all parts of the country, and virtually the entire population of the District turned out to pay homage to Warren G. Harding and to witness his induct into the office of President of the United States. DIGNITY IS IMPRESSIVE Marked by an absence of the grand review and pavade, which through out history have marked with glam our the inauguration of Presidents, yesterday's ceremony through its dignity and plainness made a deep and lasting impression upon those who witnessed it. The great plaza extending from the east front of the Capitol to the Congressional library was the scene of the gathering of the bulk of the crowd. Long before noon, the great space was black with more than a hundred thousand people anxious to see the incoming executive take the oath and to hear the inaugural address. CROWDS LINE THE STREETS A large crowd lined both sides of Pennsylvania avenue from the White House to the Capitol in an effort to catch a glimpse of the incoming and retiring Presidents on their way to and from the ceremonies at the Capitol. A peculiar phase of the inauguration was the fact that while the avenue was literally covered with people while the Presidents went to the Capitol, there was a smaller crowd when the presidential cars returned to the White House. On former occasions the reverse has been true. Early in the morning downtown-bound street cars were packed with those who wished to be on hand early so as to obtain a place of vantage from which to witness the ceremony. Every available motor driven and horse drawn vehicle was pressed in to the service of those hurrying to ward Pennsylvania avenue and the Capitol. YOUNG AND OLD ABROAD Old men and women leaning on each other's arms for support and scarcely able to make their way through the great mob; young men and women, with no object but to witness the great quadrilateral event of the city; young boys and girls hurrying alqm; all thoughts of their regular routine abandoned and still younger children, carried along by fond parents made up the crowd which gathered on the plaza and Pennsylvania avenue and overfiewed and cledd into gide streets. The crowd was mobile, surging in the wake of the principal characters, President-elect Harding and President Wilson. Sir. Harding was scheduled to leave the Willard hotel about 10:30 and proceed to the White House to meet president Wilson. Long before that hour the hotel was be soigned by a throng eager to catch the first glimpse of the incoming executive. HATS OFF FOR HARDING The crowd stood cheering for all most half an hour before the President-elect finally appeared at the door. A great cheer went up from the people and as though automatically every hat within view came off. Standing barheaded the crowd yelled and applauded until Harding got into a waiting automobile and surrounded by several troops of cavalry drove away. The crowd was not to be shaken off, and with one accord, everyone darted up Fourteenth street and made his way to the White House arriving there almost at 11:35 time as the President-elect and his escort. For half an hour while Mr. Harding was in the White House the throng welled about the gates and nearly tore down the lines which the police had stretched around the sidewalk. SILENCE GREETS AUTO As the car bearing the incoming and retiring Presidents left the gate a strange silence fell on the throng for a brief moment as they saw the tightly drawn lines and the suffering imprinted on the face o the man who was about to surrender the roins of the government over which he had presided for eight years. The silence was soon broken, however and with a great cheer the throng sent the presidential car on its journey to the Capitol. Surrounded by savalry the car made its way slowly through cheering throngs which landed the avenue passing through the hundreds of thousands who stood in the Capitol grounds, the cavalcade made its way to the Senate wing, and there for a time President Harding left the crowd behind him. THOUSANDS FILL PLAZA While the ceremonies in the Senate Chamber proceeded the immense throng on the plaza was augmented, by those who had left their places on the Avenue and had gone to the Capitol to hear the inaugural address. Fully 100,000 stood, anxiously cheer as they waited for Harding to appear and take the oath of office. Every time one one appeared at the central door of the Capitol the crowd took it as a reason for louder cheering and as in the course of an hour the various men handling the details of the ceremony walked through the door, and the crowd yelled itself horese en false alarmes. Finally, however, the members of Congress appeared at the door and filing through, took their places on the platform. Then the crowd realizing that the historical moment was approaching redoubled as efforts, and the great building fairly shook with the volume of cheering. CHEPDRS INTERRUPT SPEECH If the cheers of the throng were great before when finally Harding appeared at the door, the crowd splendidly went frantic. All restraint was cast aside and a great volume of sound arose as from one mighty throat. Exhausting other ways of voicing their enthusiasm the crowd gave vent to it by simply jumping up and down. Throughout the inaugural address President, Harding was interrupted by wild outbursts of applause. *The return to the White House was a repetition of the grip to the Capitol a few hours earlier.* CROWD MAINTAINS ORDER. The crowd despite its size never became unwedly and the police all ways had it under control. Through the special preparations which had been made, everything ran along smoothly and the 'sentiment was at most unamused' that the police arrangements were the most efficient in the history of the city. Without any special arrangements by the police however, there would have been little or no trouble for the crowd was dignified and orderly. They had one object, that of seeing the man who had been overwhelmingly chosen as the President of his country and they knew that this could be done better if order was maintained. Y. M. C. A. NOTES.

Read The Planet and keep informed as to what our Race is doing in world and domestic affairs THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA NIGHT SESSIONS NECESSARY TO DISPOSE OF MEASURES. Washington. March 3.—Congress tonight neared its end in the usual desperate attempts to pass eleventh-hour measures. Night sessions were held by both Senate and House. Many bills received their death, blows in the final hours of the session while numerous others escaped. The $35,000,000 navy bill appeared to be the only regular supply bill which would fall. Its loss was conceded tonight on all sides, although it had been held before the Senate for many hours. DOWNS SENATE AMENDMENTS For the second time the House to night refused to censure in the Senate amendment to the sundry civil appropriation bill providing $10,000 00 for work during the coming fiscal year on the government dam near the Muscle Shoals, Ala., nitrate plant The vote was 207 to 144. Chairman Good, of the Appropriation Committee urged the House to instruct its conferences to oppose fur ther to acceptance of the item. Unless the Senate backs down before adjournment, the bill carrying approximately $385,000,000 will not go to the President. Representative Byrne, Democrat, Tennessee, moved that the House agree to the amendment, and the vote was take on his motion. Although Representative Mann Re publican, Illinois pledged with Re publicans to vote for the appropriation they lined up almost solidly against it. The Fordney emergency cariff bill was returned to the House late to day with the veto of (President) Wilson. The House agreed to take up the veto at 9 o'clock with little expectation that the necessary two-thirds vote to override the President's objections would be forthcoming. BILLS IN WILSON'S HANDS Many important bills still remained in President Wilson's hands with out indication of their fate. Those in cluded the immigration restriction bill and the army appropriation bills completed today by Congress the annual agricultural bill and the fortifcations supply measure. Despite the rush of last-moment business, the House paused for an hour tonight to pay tribute to former Speaker Champ Clark whose death occurred yesterday. The crux of battle was the navy bill in the Senate, Senator Poloidexer, Republican. Washington in charge of the measure admitted to defeat early today, and sought to withdraw it from the Senate. It was raided that his motion for withdrawal was not in order, and the bill remain pending all day but with dozens of other affairs intervening by unanticipated consent and debate proceeded on innumerable other subjects. There was no program for its disposition. Some of its friends thought there still was a chance for passage by the Senate, but none for final enactment. Other leaders declared that it was being used to head off consideration of the soldiers' bonus and other bills against which powerful opposition has been centered. Friends of the bill were resigned to have it go over into special session of Congress with the burden of having a bill drafted in the House and put through Congress before July 1. With the navy bill still pounding technically, the Senate recessed from 6:30 to 8:30 o'clock tonight for dinner. STORAGE REGULATION SAVED It appeared probable that the bill for government regulation of civil storage would be among those saved from defeat. A new compromise agreement in conference was reached and adopted promptly by the Senate with similar action expected in the House. Squeezed through the jam over the naval bill also was a new measure appropriating $18,600,000 for hospital extensions for war veterans. It was passed by the Senate and then by the House and paved the way for saving the sundry civil bill from defeat the hospital appropriations also being in that measure. Several nominations also confirmed by the Senate with consent of Republican leaders who partially released their general ban on President Wilson's appointments. Among the nominations confirmed was that of Norman H. Davis acting Secretary of State. The nomination of Representative Garrett, Democrat, Tennessee to a Federal Judgeship, however was blocked. Several hundred more minor army nominations also were confirmed together (with almost 2,000 navy officers of lower grades and a block of promotions of marine corps officers below the rank of brigadier-general. The usual crowds attended to night's session at the Capitol. Galleries were jammed. Hundreds of persons were lined up for hours waiting for seats. The inauguration crowds of home folks besieged Senators and Representatives for tickets to the Senate Chamber and to the reserved spaces on the outside for tomorrow's ceremonies.
