Hendricks The Washington Post, Washington, D.C. The so called segregation law, compelling white and colored passengers to make seats in common carriers running into or out of the District of Columbia suffered a severe jail here today when Chief Justice McCoy sitting in Cunit Court No. 1 directed a jury to return a verdict in favor of Frederick V. Brooks and William A. Walker, both colored who were put off a train of the Washington Baltimore and Annapolis Railway Company, August 6th, 1917. Both men hold tickets from Annapolis list to the District and when boarding the train at the Maryland Junction point took seats in the front of the car and refused to comply with the order of the conductor when he tolled them to move to the section of the car devoted to colored people. Reaching an out of the way point on the line both men were thrown from the train and were delayed several hours in reaching their destination. A verdict of $500 damages was returned in favor of both men, the court holding that the company was not within its rights in putting the passenger from the train when they had pledged tickets to Washington Justice McCoy said that the men were entitled to finish their journey in any part of the car they cared to as they had paid for their transportation. The court ruled that the "Jim Crow Law" is unconstitutional in as far as interstate traffic is concerned and is only applicable to state traffic namely if a person boards a train in the District of Columbia for New Orleans and is compelled to change several times before complying his journey he is entitled to a seat in any part of the car he cares to sit. Attorney J. J. O'Leary representing the plaintiffs brought facts into the case showing that the ruling segregated big white and colored passengers was not an act of the corporation because a regulation formulated by the trade master of the company. In order to segregate white and colored passengers, under the law it is necessary to file a petition with the Inter-State Commerce Commission, getting forth the fact that such a regulation is not proposed. It was shown that the company had taken no such action and the court held that their fact was illegal and the plaintiffs entitled to injunction. One phase of the case that would probably create interest is the fact that the jury returning the verdict in favor of the two colorist men were all white and expressed indignation over the fact that such arbitrary action should be taken by a company official acting on his own "delegated" authority. The ruling of the court will affect all railway companies painting into or out of the District of Columbia as it has been shown that no "Jim Crow Law" pertaining to Inter-State commerce has ever been sustained by the Supreme Court of the United States. The defense of the railway company was that they were compelled under the laws of Maryland to score gate white and colored passengers and that considerable feeling had been aroused over the "Jim Crow Law" and it was necessary to the peace of the community to comply with the state regulations.

Believes White Men Committed CRIME IN FULTON WHITE PHYSICIAN OUTSPOKEN IN ALLEGED OUTRAGE. Defends Patient--Interesting Conclusion in Remarkable Case that Stirred Richmond. MARY LEE VIRGINIA LEE LIBRARY Believes W CRIME WHITE PHY ALL Defends Pa sion in L St Dr. B. L. Reams, respected citizen and practicing physician of twenty-five years in Fulton who has attended John E. Heisler's family several times in the past eighteen months, and who attended Mrs. Heisler the morning of the asult upon her by two men has no manner of doubt that he count she gave of the crime is scientifically true. He said so this morning when The News Leader brought to his attention certain idle reports in conflict with the story told by the family. Dr. Reams was not told any thing he had not already heard, he said, he knew that vile reports were in circulation. He knew too, he said, the source from which they enunciated and expressed incense indignation. FOUND NERVOUS Dr. Reams said that he was called to the home several hours after the crime had been committed. He found Mrs. Heisler so nervous and wrought up so untruthing, that at first she did not know him. Finally he calmed her and then she told of the experience she had undergone. She made a clear and convincing statement. The physician made a thorough physical examination of his patient. Subsequently Dr. Reams called twice and talked with Mrs. Heisler at great length and in detail. Her statement did not vary in the slightest degree, the physician said lay. He was convinced absolutely of the truth of the story of the crime is the blackest in the whole history of Richmond—and said that any other theory was absurd. "Mrs. Heisler is a moral, honest we man, though in very humble circumstances," was the physician's opinion of the character of the victim. MRS. HEISLER MISTAKEN On one point he thinks Mrs. Heisler is mistaken in her account. He is inclined to believe that the criminals were white men and not Negroes. "That mistake, if it be a mistake is easily accounted for," he said. The room was in darkness the light had been put out and the men used blind flashlights. It was said by the doctor that Mrs. Heisler had complained bitterly of the attitude of the police, whose cross questioning he said, was seemingly designed to trip her into contradiction of her story. The physician himself feels very keenly that the matter has not been sandled in the spirita that marks the impartial search for truth. Dr. Keenan when asked the question said the authorities had not made any call upon him for a formal complete statement of the examination he made of the victim. The extent of his interview with the police was a chance meeting between him and Chief of Police Sherry who happens to be a citizen of Fulton. The matter was briefly referred to that street encounter. It is learned today that the police definitely established the day of the crime that shoe prints were by a man's shoe on the bed covering, but they were not sufficiently distinct to serve for identification purposes. It was said. (Phoenixoad, Va., News Loader March 18, 1921.) BOND BANKRUPT: OWES VER HALF MILLION. Hobena, Ark., March 11.

RACE - COUNTY - NO. 100000 NEWS PRICE, FIVE CENTS GEORGIAN DENOUNCES MOB VIOLENCE Remarkable Statement and Protec- Greed For Negro's Labor Results in Cold Blooded and Atrocious Murder. Atlanta, Ga., — Probably the most startling statement ever issued by any public official in the south came recently from District Attorney Albo under Hooper. It is remarkable to for its fearlessness and suggestiveness. It deals with the terrible state of affairs in lawless sections of Georgia and "in the name of the just and righteous God," he declares. I submitly protest before the people of Georgia. "Says the statement, 'What I said in the papers, Thursday, about the mistreatment of Negroes in Georgia was a wild statement of the facts. In three separate matters that have been brought to my attention since that day my complaint has been illusorized and emphasized. In one of them weged for a Negro's labor is deemed to have resulted in a cold beetle' and atrocious murder. "I do not speak of this positively, however, as yet, because in that particular case, while I am having a careful investigation made, the official report is not yet in hand. I wish to call attention to however, to a complaint made to me yesterday and the circumstances of it and principally in the hope the publicity may prevent a threatened crime. Five Negroes, all apparently well-behaved and industrious farmers, each working his own little farm, within 30 miles of Atlanta to have been warned by night riders to leave the neighborhood. They come to appeal to me for protection. They have been to the governor's office but as he was not in a secretary referral, them to me. I can, of course, do nothing. There is no violation of the Federal laws in what is threatened. The circumstances of the case and masters which have heretofore come to my knowledge in the same locality, lead me to entertain the belief that in this particular case, the underlying purpose is to force the Negroes to sell and sacrifice their little homes. I was much mortified in being compelled to say that it was out of my power to extend them any protection. But I was far more deeply mortified in no being able to answer this question to solumily and seriously proclaim: "Well, we have our children and our homes. If the night riders carry out their threats and come back to attack us, do you advise us to do. As an officer of the United State I could not answer that question. The government cannot legislate in such cases, and has not attempted to do so. The offense is against the laws, of the state. I cannot middle in it. But (I believe my state and I are humiliated. As an individual I know what I would do. But if I advised these Negroes so I know the consequences that, could follow to them and I was and am humiliated beyond expression, because I could do nothing but advise them to go to the sheriff and ask protection. The example of Georgia have no concept of the meanness and cruelty will win in helpers. Negroes are being treated. I wish I could make the state to see and know the horrible things that are being done and wholly come to my knowledge admire dally. In the name of a just and righteous God I solennally protest before the people of Georgia." --- MAN HANGED BY MOB AFTER BREAKING INTO JAU. Hinchburg, Miss. March 20.

Her statement did not vary in the slightest degree, the physician said (e) that was convinced absolutely of the truth of the matter, that the blackest in the whole history of Richmond—and said that any other theory was absurd. "Mrs. Heisler is a moral, honest we man, though in very humble circumstances," was the physician's opinion of the character of the victim. MRS. HEISLER MISTAKEN On one point he thinks Mrs. Helser is mistaken in her account. He is in claudio to believe that the criminals were white men and not Negroes. "That mistake, if it be a mistake is easily accounted for," he said. "The room was in darkness the light had been put out and the men used blind flashlights." It was said by the doctor that Mrs. Helser had complained bitterly of the attitude of the police, whose cross questioning, she said, was seemingly designed to trip her into contradiction of her story. The physician himself feels very keenly that the matter has not been sandled in the spirits that marks the impartial search for truth. Mr. Reems when asked the question said the authorities had not made any call to him for a formal complete statement of the examination he made of the victim. The extent of his interview with the police was a chance meeting between him and Chief of Police Sherry who happens to be a citizen of Fulton. The matter was briefly referred to in that street encounter. It is learned today that the police definitely established the day of the crime that shoe prints made by a man's shoe on the bed covering but they were not sufficiently distinct to identify identification purposes, it was said.

They were shipped to him from Sterling, IL, completely equipped and ready for service. A FORGED CHECK One day this week a colored man approached the red toy seller at the Broad Street station with a check for the purchase of a ticket after some one had called up the station and asked that the accommodation be granted. It was drawn on Mr. A. D. Price and was found to be a forgery. As the ticket had been issued and change given, active efforts were made to apprehend the gullible party. A colored man attempted to use the ticket which was to Philadelphia, at Washington and this led to arrest. His name is James Murphy and he has been brought back to Richmond. The check was drawn on the Mechanics Savings Bank, but as it was not cached by that institution, the loss was on the ticket agent.

Atlanta, Ga., —Probably the most startling statement ever issued by any public official in the south came recently from District Attorney Alexander Hooper. It is remarkable both for its fearlessness and suggestiveness. It deals with the terrible state of affliction in the neglected of Georgia and "in the righteous God," he declares, I solently protest before the people of Georgia. "Says the statement, 'What I said in the papers, Thursday, about the mistreatment of Negroes in Georgia was a mild statement of the facts. In three separate matters that have been brought to my attention since day one my complaint has been illusorized in my greed for a Negro's lover is charged to have resulted in a cold bloody and atrocious murder. MAN HANGED BY MOR AFTER BREAKING INTO JAIL. Hattiesburg, Miss., March 20.—Arthur Jennings, colored held on a charge of killing a colored woman, several days ago was taken from the county jail early today by a number of armed men who overpowered the sheriff. At dalight the man's body was found hanging in a tree near the city. At the time Jennings was arrested he fired several shots at the officers, and feeling against him has been bitter. Jennings, after a pistol duel with two deputy sheriffs, in which he was wounded twice, was captured here last week and had been held in the county jail awaiting the arrival of Taylorsville officers.

Mr. Tompson, mentor and first vice president of Corporation knows too in his that the Universal Negro Implement Association has collected money from poor and needy jobs in Africa, Europe and Ameri to buy a brand new steel steam- instead of buying an old steam "Yarmouth." That's why Prince yel is not scared to tell the truth america and open the eyes of the roes in Africa and elsewhere, who buying stocks and bonis in Ameri instead of giving their children education so that no corporat- will be able to deceive them in future. AN AFRICAN MAGICIAN Since Madarikan Deniyi is university known in Lagos, Nigeria, West Africa, as Michael Diniyl Williams, the great African Occult Maturor. It is also known all over the jungles deserts of Africa as 'Professor of odors' for his great skill in "Black white magic. He defeated Driven W. De Lawrence, the great African Magician in Chicago, Illinois, June 1914, when this white man failed to turn him into a frog to the postmaster general and post inspectors, with the investigator of Uncle Sams's detectives arrested Lawrence and handed him over to Federal government in Chicago, small order of De Lawrence, Scott Co. was, also stopped by the Unit States Government in America, before the natives in West Africa can't get any more magic books. De Lawrence because Prince Yi had broken his 'woodoo' in Chinatown, by exposing his schemes to the fraud government of using the malaefraid poor and needy people in China. This fake magician was made from $300 to $50 daily. But now couldn't make a penny because theoration couldn't send or use the to defraud the natives anymore. Since Deniyi is now planning to hand us Garvey and the Black Star Steamship Corporation to the real government between now and fourth of July 1921, if Garvey does send a ship to Liberia, West Africa it was advertised and published the "Negro World" that the Black Star Line would send a ship to Africa in January 1921 or March. The month of March 1921 is now past gone and Prince Deniyi is still going to see the ship. The Blacks, chiefs and presidents in Africa still waiting to see the ship. natives too are also anxious to Marcus Garvey, but the British government will put Garvey in jail England if he goes to Europe or a without passport. SON OF A CHIEF Prince Denlyi, was born in Lagos, Nigeria, West Africa, March 2, 1892. Christian father was known in India as Edmond Otekeye Williams, son of Balogna Hemo, a powerful chief at Abeokuta, Nigeria, Africa. This honest and brave war died in Lagos, August 1903, the Prince himself was only eleven years old. His Christian mother is known in Lagos, as Mrs. Zenobia Oromoniyi Williams. The King Igbayi Eleko of Lagos and Chicha always honor her for her royal status at Abeokuta. She was a girligos and attending Missionary school when the King Akitoye the Yoruba Chiefs made contract Queen Victoria of England that state of Nigeria must receive promen from Great Britain until the no able to help themselves, attief Dosunmu and his followers been defeated in Lagos, through battle of Awoyaya (cannon war.) false contract was signed by Akitoye and the chiefs in Lagos, Africa, December 1851. The late and Otekeye Williams was in Laitoo and attending Missionary school. Therefore the native kings and in Nigeria, West Africa know Prince Denlyi is right offesting against Garvey movement in Nigeria because the record shows at kuta, Nigerin West Africa that run Jumho is a Iorirecha Chief fought bravely like hero to free Igba and Ujemo people from the atees' conspiracy. not a coward African leader, Denlyl said. My grandfather powerful ruler at Abeokuta, Ni- West Africa. The Egba and people respected him because night bravely as hero and lead the Ijemo people when the Ashantees and Dahomeans in Gold Coast, West Africa were waging war with the Egba people in Nigeria. The jate Chifol Ogundipe at Abekuata knew him. When my father was sent to a White Missionary to study English language and become Christian, this Missionary gave him his name Williams, thinking that the Chiefs name must have derived from "devil's" name, because he couldn't call his name. Therefore he named him Edmond Williams. In those days the white Missionaries couldn't call the natives by their African names. They had to give every child in the Missionary school white men names to teach them better. My mother also was name Zenobia by a white Missionary when she was a child in Africa. That's why you can blame the African natives for using the white man's name. You have been sending Missionaries every year from various denominations in America to go to Africa to civilize and christianize the headhens, but it seems to me now that you need the kings and chiefs in Africa to send you some native Missionaries to come to America and civilize the crooks and notorious rob robers.

FIVE ESCAPE JAIL IS HENRICO COUNTY; TWO RECAPTURED One of the most daring and successful jail deliveries to occur in Virginia in many years was effected last night about 8 o'clock when five white prisoners escaped from the Henrico County jail at Twenty-second \ and Main streets. Quick work on the part of the jail warden H$_2$ G. Hechler and City Policeman Fred Dawson resulted in the capture of two of the escaped prizers. The other three made good their escape and are still at large. All of the prisoners who escaped were located in a section of the jail on the side nearest to the court house. They were all confined in the house. They were all confined in the second tier of cells. It is thought that a bunk from one of the cells was used to force a bar of the cage, from which the prisoners climbed to the top of their cells. Just how long be fore they made good their escape is not known, but investigation showed that they climbed up the side of a tin ventilator to the roof, where the ventilator was bent back and outlet gained to the roof of the pail. From there the five crawled across the top of an elevated bridge, forced entrance through one of the windows in the Henrico Conway Courthouse. WINDOWS FOUND OPEN. Several windows in various parts of the courthouse were found open when the escape was investigated which is thought to indicate that the men had prowled about the building considerably before deciding to take a fifteen-foot drop from a rear win dow of the building to the cobblestone pavement below. "The alarm was given by passers-by on Main street who saw one of the escaped men crawling across the concluding bridge. The warden was at once notified and he ran outside in time to see two of the men in the yard at the rear of the jail. Heher omitted his revolver at the escaping prisoners but he later said that he did not believe that any of the shots were effective. However, three shots caused one of the men, who later gave his name as McCombs to halt in his tracks and the warden dragged him back in to the jail. POLICEMAN DAWSON AIDS In the meantime Policiscennan Fred Dawson, of the First Station, arrived on the scene and joined in the search Upon entering and searching the premises of the courthouse, Dawson uncovered Adrien Antoana. Antoana attempted to hold the officer from behind a door but Dawson shouldered his way through and nabbed the see and man. Further search availed noth ing. Several men in the vicinity said that they saw two or three men run down Twenty-second street, the rail road tracks and the river. Chief Seay, of the Henrico County police, was summoned immediately to the scene and quickly sent out an alarm to all the railroads of Richmond and the city police.

Public hearing on the Civil Rights Bill, or what is known as House Bill No. 269, was held before the Judiciary General Committee of the House of Representatives in the Senate Caucus Room, Tuesday at 2 P. M. LARGE NUMBER PRESENT Upwards of 500 citizens from all sectors of the State were in attendance. The room was crowded to standing room only, when Hon. J. C. Ashbury, who acted as chairman, in trooped the first speaker. COMMITTEE DECIDED BEFORE HEARING What was said by the various speakers is interesting, in that the case of the colored people was able presented. But of no value whatever, in the face of the action taken by the Judiciary General Committee twenty minutes after the public hearing had adjourned. The action of this committee would indicate that a decision had been reached before the public hearing which was profunctory and nothing more than a farce, in so far as the committee was concerned. INFLUENCES WORK AGAINST BILL It would appear that minister influences have been and are at work to defeat the bill. And, the order had been issued to kill the bill in the most painless way. This much is borne out by the action of the corn mittee in refusing to report the bill out of the committee—voting to lay the bill on this table. Thus eliminating a discussion on the floor which would have undoubtedly brought the real enemies of the bill before the white light of the public eye. EVIDENCES OF DECEPTION Evidences of deception and double dealing are indicated by striking coincidences and, contradictory statements of various House members. The most coinident being the convention of Motion Picture Theatre owners which just happened, it seems, to be in session at the time set for the hearing on the bill. Several members of the Movie Owners' Association, when asked if they were opposing the bill answered: "No!" That they had come to Harrisburg to protest against the Daylight Saving Measure and other bills that sought to prohibit standing room in the theaters and that every patron must have a seat, where the screen could plainly be seen. However the convention had been in session all day Monday and at the time of the public hearing, was being addressed by Governor Sproul, who it is said, declared "that no legislation harmful to the best interests of the moving picture that the owners would receive the support of the present Legislature." DAYLIGHT SAVING A SHAM White in Harrisburg for the ostensible purpose of killing the Daylight Saving Measure, it would seem that the movie owners exerted their full strength against the Civil Rights Bill. This much is borne out by the statements of three members of associations when I spoke to there and in Harrisburg, Pa., who declared that it was the consensus of opinion of the members of their organizations that a Civil Rights Bill would be very wise legislation. That there was no opposition at the hearing is another very striking coincidence. In fact, a feeling or extreme optimism prevailed following the meeting so much so that the word passed around that the bill would be reported out in an hour. Hon. J. C. Ashbury when asked if it was true that the bill would be reported out, said: "If not this afternoon, tonight, at least." A white member of the House is quoted as saying: 'There was nothing to fear that the bill would be reported out at once without amendments.' SO-CALLED FRIENDS ABSENT That well-known legislative whips who had promised to be on hand to help get the bill over, chose this time to get drunk, sick and other things are very significant. The political angle to the situation is interesting also. The bill which is regarded by some as coming from the Vare faction in the Legislation may have met the opposition of the senior United States Senator who still has a firm grip on the party organization in the State. With the whip of Feder al patronage, it is said, he is able to swing the Legislature as he pleases. And as it has been noin MEETING OF THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE IS FEATURELESS Washington, D. C., March 11 J.The Republican National Committee met at the New Willard Hotel in full session. The meeting was a celebration of the tremendous victory at the polls last November. The Chief business before the committee was the proposal made at the convention last June to reduce South era representation and the reorganization of the party in the South. A special subcommittee appointed for the purpose of threshing the matter out reported that they had not had time to go fully into the matter and recommended a postponement. It was, therefore, decided by the National Committee to defer the report of said subcommittee and also to add four other members of said Nat. committee as follows: National Gom mittemen Houben Williams, of Oregon; Rud K. Hrynicka of Ohio; Joseph B. Kealing of Indiana; David Mukane of Kansas. The three members first appointed were Congressman Bagnon Shamp, of Virginia; Irving Kinstley, of Vermont and R. B. Howell of Nebraska with Will H. Hays and Secretary Clarence B. Miller of the National Committee, ex-officio members of said subcommittee. Prominent race leaders now present in the capital city expressed themselves as very much gratified by this enlargement of the subcommittee, believing that a sense of fairness will now prevail. MOB TAKES MAN FROM JAIL AND LYNCHES HUM. Versailles, Ky. March 13.—Richard James, Negro charged with the murder of Bion T. Rogers and Homer Nave, at Malibu this county on Oct ober 5. last was taken from the Wood County jail by a mob early tint morning and hanged from a tree two miles from this city. The mob composed of about fifty men came to Versailles between 1 and 2 o'clock this morning by auto mobile. A guard was placed around the jail and four men went to the door aroused John T. Edger the jail er took his keys and went to the Negro's cell where they overcame the prisoner after a short struggle, in which a black jack was used by one member of the quartet. James was taken in au automobile to the inter section of the Frankfurt and Mid way pikes two miles from Versailles and hanged to a tree. The trial of the Negro for the mur der of Rogers and Nave, who were employed as guards at a Midway dis tillery ended Saturday night when the jury reported to Circuit Judge R. L. Stout, that it was unable to reach a verdict. The jury had decided that James was guilty, but could not agree on the penalty. The two guards were killed while defending the distillery from an at tack by a party of armed men who were attempting to remove whiskey. James was said to have been a mem ber of the attacking force. Although feeling had been running high against the Negro ever since his arrest, no threats of lynching had been heard. A coroner's inquest will be held Monday. None of the members of the mob was identified by Jabler Edger. THE VIRGINIA TUBERCULOSIS ASSOCIATION.
