She She passed away during the early morning hours of Saturday, April 16, 2:20 o'clock after a long and painful illness. She was one of the most influential women in the State. She was a veteran in the profession of teaching and she had a host of friends throughout the country.

She was a teacher in Baker School, Grand Worthy Register of Deeds of the Grand Court of Virginia, Order of Calanthe, member of the Executive Board of the Pythian Calanthe Industrial Association and a most influential member of many other organizations. A REMARKABLE CHARACTER She was a tireless worker in her particular field of endeavor. Her funert took place Tuesday, April 19th from the First Baptist church.

RESOLUTIONS OF CONDOLENCE I am not they are blest alone Whose life a peaceful tenor keep; The Power who pities men has known. A blessing for the eyes that weep. For God hath marked each sorrowing day, And numbered every secret tear. And heaven's long age of bliss shall pay For all His children suffer here. The grim reaper, death, has entered the ranks of The Baker Group for the third time, this year and borne away from us three teachers, who were held in high esteem. The last visit it in removing Miss Marietta L. Chiles was sudden and unexpected. This caused an aching void which an outsider cannot realize. Miss Marietta L. Chiles has had under her instruction hundreds-year thousands of children from our community who today are voicing praise of the grace it lest in their n. grees and general welfare. There was no cause of unlift work for young and old that she foiled to prove her hearty and honest cooperation. While we deeply mourn our free parable loss, we deare not murmur - for our Heavenly Father knows, what is best for us, hence we humbly bow to His will. Miss Marietta L. Child gave efficient service to her people in the City, State and County and there by gave honest service to God, and Father School, and the Community boy, one of the most brilliant co-workers.

TRIP TO WASHINGTON—A DOWN POUR OF RAIN—ROUGH ROUTE TO BERRYVILLE—CLIMBING A MOUNTAIN. I left Richmond for Berryville at 4 clock in the morning Saturday, April 9, 1921 in an effort to make a trip of approximately two hundred miles by nightfall in order to do some work for the Order. I had deed to leave in plenty of time and the original time set for plumbing into the darkness of the country was any where from 12 to 2 P. M. Robinson Davis had the Stanley steam car ready for the trip for any of those hours, but to those who do not know it, I beg leave to state that this is April and we had April weather. When leav ing time came, the rain was coming down in torrents. In the party were Mrs. Lucy Cross, Miss Eva G. Davis and Miss Rebecca T. Mitchell. AN UNEASY FEELING I am frank to state that I am always uneasy when I have females in an automobile party. The inconveniences, the unexpected break-down, and the like are liable to embarrass me and to test them. However, they were all ready and we finally decided to take our chances. We went out Broad Street to the Hermitage road and then detoured through Lakeside to the pike beyond. The car was steaming fine and we were soon well on our way to Fredericksburg. We passed Snottsvania C. H. the scene of Gen. Joseph Hooker's battle during the Civil War and then on to the battle scorred outskirts of Fredericksburg, where Meagher's Irish Delegation won impermissible fame before that stone wall in front of the National Cemetery which wall still remains. THE SCENE OF THE FORMER TROUBLE We did not tarry in Fredericksburg but burried on to Edinburgh. Toll is expected of all who now cross the Rappahannock bridge. We soon passed the scene of our former experience, when our party had spent two nights under a tent in a cornfield on account of a broken axle. But there were no brook on axles now for the car was running timely. We soon reached the Chappawamie Swamp, which has been robbed of its terrors by the crevet of a concrete road through it. We had left Fredericksburg at 8:30 and it was 11 o'clock when we reached Washington after crossing the Long Bridge across the Potomac. I had found out that my generator was not working and that the battery had given out. BATTERY FAILED This worried me, for while I had auxiliary flashlights, I did not know but what I might find myself at night on the road and I could not make any progress without this necessary aid in automobile travel. Moreover, the horn was out of commission and if there is anything that Robinson likes to do, it is to blow that horn. I went to the Wilkard Service Station in Washington and secured a rental, leaving my battery there. Then we went to 2295 H. Street, N. W., to see Mrs. Fannie Smith sister of Mrs. William E. Brown of this city. We did not tarry long and at about 1:30 we were on our way to Perryville by way of Langley and Leeds. If my foresight had been as good as my hindsight, I would have chosen the longer but better route. We were in a hurry, and we thought that the shorter route would be far better. All went well until we got near to Leeds. Everywhere the steam car instructed attention. Then from dirt roads we went to mud roads. We could see the mountain pass on the distance "kisik to the cloud." Then Robinson got out the plow and stood out. We went a little far away, the lad was out midnight. The man was still right, but the plow was still out from time to time, and when the main burners were out, Robinson and I went to the toilet. I heard a woman go on the toilet "Mr. Mitchell, it looks though the bed is our posture." I did not say any thing. I was thinking. Here we were at the door. I opened our destination in a white section of the country, and while we a single thick face in sight, with three ladies to be look, I utter. What was I to do? PIPE PURSTED I listened again, "Robinson," said I. "the super heater that carries steam to the engine is burst under the boiler and that's what is putting out your fire, every time you open the throttle. I heard that the heavier (Continued on Fourth Page) PRICE, FIVE CENTS EDITOR JOHN MITCHELL REPORTED DEAD PREPARATIONS FOR FUNERAL. Editor John Mitchell, Jr., EH Richmond Saturday April 9, 1821 tor Berryville Va. by way of Wash- ington in his Stanley Steamer, Sat- urday night, Funeral Director A. D. Price died and knew that the Editor was deeply interested in the case, Roeeoe C. Mitchell telegramed to Washington for him to be notified of he passed through there. The mes- sure became mk.1 and credited for it read that John Mitchell Jr. was dead and as a result some one telegraphed the information to A. D. Price in Richmond with the understanding that he would get the body. FALSEHOOD'S LIGHTNING SPEED As a matter of fact Price himself was dead. All day Sunday people were being told that John Mitchell was dead and R. C. Mitchell made effort to correct the impression by announcements on several of the Churches. The old adage that "Fabricehood will travel a league while Truth is pulling on his boots" were fed in this case. When Robinson Davis returned from Richmond to Berryville Monday morning with the new superheater t r the steam car to replace the one that had burned out he brought the informa t in that John Mitchell Jr. was reported dead in Richmond although he was very much alive a Berryville and Winchester Va. CASKET READY Even after Editor Mitchell's return to the city Tuesday night, early Wednesday morning as he sat at his office window, many friends passed by and stared at him, though they had seen a ghost, some com in to convince themselves this present existence in the back. Editor Mitchell was the Price's establishment to see a hit but he called and chanted that the Director Price occupied it but Bonneville Price stated that they only gotten out was on the job and could be occupied at a time. This ended one of the most emotional reports ever circulated among closed folks in this city. Editor Mitchell told Miss M. L. Chiles about she not having been advised of the same little resulting that before the week ended she too would have passed away. --- Many visitors in the city have given Richmond a holiday appearance. The Fifth St. Baptist Church is now being attended by great crowds and much money is being collected. Many people are out of employment here now seeking work.

He drew his hand quickly across his left leg above the ankle, indicating that the amputation would be made. That night, he took his last journey to Richmond Hospital and by 1 P. M. Friday, 8th inst., all was over. He came from under the operation was the cheering information. LEAVING OPERATING ROOM When he was being rolled from the operating room, he looked around and recognized his wife, George and his son, Douglas and cheerfully greeted them with "Hello, sweet-heart." Douglas says that the greeting to him was that he did not know that he was there. He conversed with his friends and the conclusion was that the operation was a success. The surgeons had hopes of him for some days, provided coma did not set in. It was Friday about noon that Mrs. Price who remained near him not noticed a change and she spoke to him. He apparently did not recognize her. HE WAS SINKING "you are wearing a veil," he said, a finally she did make him recog o her. Then he called the name of a sister, Laura and sank into unconceousness from which he never recov ered. That night at about 10 o'clock all was over.

TRIP TO WASHINGTON—A DOWN POUR OF RAIN—ROUGH ROUTE TO BERRYVILLE—CLIMBING A MOUNTAIN. I left Richmond for Berryville at 4 o'clock in the morning Saturday, April 9, 1921 in an effort to make a trip of approximately two hundred miles by night-fall in order to do some work for the Order. I had decided to leave in plenty of time and the original time set for plunging into the darkness of the country was any where from 12 to 2 P. M. Robinson Davis had the Stanley steam car ready for the trip for any of those hours. But to those who do not know it, I beg leave to state that this is April and we had April weather. When leaving time came, the rain was coming down in torrents. In the party were Mrs. Lucy Cross, Miss Eva G. Davis and Miss Rebecca T. Mitchell. AN UNEASY FEELING I am frank to state that I am always uneasy when I have females in an automobile party. The inconveniences, the unexpected break-downs, and the like are liable to embarrass me and to test them. However, they were all ready and we finally decided to take our chances. We went out Broad Street to the Hermitage road and then detoured through Lakeside to the pike beyond. The car was steaming fine and we were soon well on our way to Fredericktsburg. We passed Spotsylvania C. H., the scene of Gen. Joseph Hooker's battle during the Civil War and then on to the battle scarred outskirts of Frederick-burgh, whae Meagher's Irish Brigade won imporishable fame before that stone wall in front of the National Cemetery which wall still remains. THE SCENE OF THE FORMER TROUBLE We did not tarry in Frederickburgh but hurried on to Falmouth. Toll is ex acted of all who now cross the Rappahannock bridge. We soon passed the scene of our former experience, where our party had spent two nights under a tent in a cornfield on account of a broken axle. But there were no broken axles now for the car was running finely. We soon reached the Chappawamie Swamp, which has been robbed of its terrors by the creetion of a concrete roadway through it. We had left Frederickburgh at 8:30 and it was 11 o'clock when we reached Washington after crossing the Long Bridge across the Potomac. I had found out that my generator was not working and that the battery had given out. BATTERY FAILED This worried me, for while I had auxiliary flashlights, I did not know but what I might find myself at night on the road and I could not make any progress without this necessary aid in automobile travel. Moreover, the horn was out of commission and if there is anything that Robinson likes to do, it is to blow that horn. I went to the Willard Service Station in Washington and secured a rental, leaving my battery there. Then we went to 2205 H. street N. W., to see Mrs. Fannie Smith sister of Mrs. William E. Brown of this city. We did not tarry long and at about 1:30 we were on our way to Berryville by way of Langley and Leesburg. If my foresight had been as good as my hind-sight, I would have chosen the longer but better route. We were in a hurry and we thought that the shorter route would be far better. All went well until we got near to Leesburg. Everywhere, the steam car attracted attention. Then from dirt roads we went to mud-roads. We could see the mountain ranges in the distance, "kissing the clouds." Then Robinson got out, the pilot had gone out. We went a little further, the pilot was out again. The car was steaming all right, but the light wouldn't go out from time to time, when the main burners went off. This worried Robinson and I became apprehensive. Then I heard a roaring sound in the boiler. "Mr. Mitchell, it seems as though the feed line is bursted." I did not say anything. I was thinking. Here we were about thirty miles from our destination in a white section of the country and with not a single black face in sight, and with three ladies to be looked after. What was I to do? PIPE BURSTED I listened again. "Robinson," said I. "the super-heater that carries steam to the engine is bursted under the boiler and that is what is putting out your fire every time you open the throttle. I hoped that the heavi- (Continued on Fourth Page) PRICE, FIVE CENTS EDITOR JOHN MITCHELL REPORTED DEAD PREPARATIONS FOR FUNERAL Editor John Mitchell, Jr. left Richmond Saturday April 9, 1921 for Berryville, Va. by way of Washington in his Stanley Steamer. Saturday night, Funeral Director A. D. Price died and knowing that the Editor was deeply interested in the case, Roscoe C. Mitchell telegraphed to Washington for him to be notified of he passed through there. The message became mixed or crooked for it read that John Mitchell Jr. was dead and as a result some one telegraphed the information to A. D. Price in Richmond with the understanding that he would get the body. FALSEHOOD'S LIGHTNING SPEED As a matter of fact Price himself was dead. All day Sunday people were being told that John Mitchell was dead and R. C. Mitchell made effort to correct the impression by announcements in several of the Churches. The old adage that "Falsehood will travel a league while Truth is pulling on his boots" was verified in this case. When Robinson Davis returned from Richmond to Berryville Monday morning with the new superheater for the steam car to replace the one that had burned out he brought the information that John Mitchell Jr. was reported dead in Richmond although he was very much alive in Berryville and Winchester, Va. CASKET READY Even after Editor Mitchell's return to the city Tuesday night, early Wednesday morning as he sat at his office window, many friends passed by and stared at him as though they had seen a ghost, some coming in to convince themselves as to his present existence in the flesh. Editor Mitchell went to the Price's establishment to see about his casket and charged that Furnished Director Price occupied it but Dourless Price stated that the one really gotten out was on the other side and could be occupied at any time. Thus ended one of the most sensational reports over circulated among colored folks in this city. Editor Mitchell told Miss M. J. Chiles about 't she not having been advised of the same. Little realizing that before the week ended she too would have passed away --- —Many visitors in the city have given Richmond a holiday appearance. —The Fifth St. Baptist Church is now being attended by great crowds and much money is being collected. —Many people are out of employment here now seeking work. The Virginia Baptist Church will meet next month in Washington, with the leadership, Rev. T. J. King. NATIONAL RACE CONGRESS WIL MEET MAY 4. The National Race Congress, W. H. Jerringin, President, 1341 Third Street, N. W. will hold its next session in Zion Baptist, Church, between Third and Four and a Half Streets. S. W., Washington, D. C. Roy, W. J. Howard, Pastor. The session will open May 4 1921 and continue through the seventh. The annual peron will be preached Tuesday the third at 8:00 P. M. by Roy, D. C. Douglass the National Chaplain of Cambridge Mass. Among those who are expected to address the Congress are Vice- President Calvin Coolidge, Senator H. C. Lodge, Hon. Emmet J. Scott Dr. George B. Cannon of Jersey City, N. J., Dr. J. H. Henderson, Krooville, Tena, and Phil Brown, Esg. representing the Labor organization. President Warren G. Harding will receive the delegates to the Congress at the White House Thursday, May fifth. At the last meeting of the local committee Dr. J. Milton Walton reported that his Church had elected six delegates and appropriated $30 for their registration in the Congress, Dr. W. J. Howard reported election of delegates by Rising Sun Lodge, G. U. O. of O. F. Dr. Jeragin read letters from several prominent persons who assured the committee that they would be present at the meeting in May. A communication was read from the officers of the Pan African Congress giving notice of the meeting of that Congress in Paris, France, in the early part of September, 1921.

This life is a long journey, but some people make a short journey of it. When we pray, we should remember our enemies, not in the spirit of revenge, but in the attitude of charity. Saving money must be the slogan during this age and generation if this Republic in general and the colored people in particular are to be successful. The streak of death seems to be found in the lane travelled by the undertakers. It has taken about a quarter of a century for it to get there. This is a life of uncequainty. It used to be living to day and dying tomorrow, but now it is living today and dying today. They say there were but three rounds in Jacob's ladder to Heaven, but there seems to be about ten thouls and in the ladder these days in order to reach the same place. --- Colored folks must engage in business in order to win their way in this world and they cannot engage in business without practicing economy and saving their money in order to engage in business. Mr. Elam L. Banks of Harrisburg, Pa., sends us a telegram, which sends a chill down the spinal columns of every devotee of the race, who had viewed with genuine satisfaction, the passage of the civil rights bill in the legislature, which ensured to all citizens equal rights upon the statute books, even though they were not realized in actual practice. We must continue to contend for our rights with the hope that some time during the next century or this one we may obtain them. AN APPEAL TO THE PRESIDENT President W. H. Jernigan, of the National Race Congress has made an appointment to meet President Harding May 5th at the White House and with him will go an influential committee of colored citizens. The desirab and hopes of the citizens of color of the United States of America will be set forth and it is hoped that the distinguished Ohioan's pre-election promises will be fulfilled. There seems to be an active propaganda against the Negroes of this country and now this is a movement to launch a more active one in their favor. By conservative forceful, action, much good can be accomplished, but by rash, improper utterances, much injury will result. It should be impressed upon the distinguished occupant that we do not relinguish or yield up our right to hold office. It is for the distinguished representative of the White House to decide just what colored leaders should receive recognition. Should he desire to receive our advice or recommendation in the matter, so well and good. If he should see fit to use his own individual judgment, so well and good. In all events, let us use conservative judgment and not be carried away by lurid, radical utterances that might tend to estrange from us the support of our white friends who wish us well and the distinguished Ohioan Statesman, who now occupies the White House. MISS CHILES' DEATH. "Death loves a sliding mark." This time, Miss Marietta L. Chiles, who for more than twenty-five years has been a forceful, impressive and almost irresistable character in the work of Pythianism and Calanthelm has proceeded to take her long sleep. Her illness was of a peculiar kind and character and while those who were closest to her thought and believed what the end was near the optimistic reports of her physicians led others to think otherwise. But the end came Saturday morning at 2:20 o'clock and she sank into a restful sleep, from which in this life, there will be no waking. Sympathy for her is useless. She is better off. Her true and tried friends with sorrowing hearts are the sufferers and for them we express sympathy. She has gone to a better land. Out on the grassy plat in Woodland Cemetery, we shall from time to time strew flowers with the hope that God in His divine wisdom will enable her to know and realize the anguish of those, whom, she has left, behind. ANOTHER PECULIAR DECISION The Supreme Court of the United States has once more rendered one of its remarkable 5 to 4 decisions in the cases affecting the validity of laws affecting leases on apartments and business property. The disposition to disregard the fundamental rights and privileges of Negroes has led to the curtailment of the rights and privileges of white people. The inviolability of contracts has been recognized for more than a century and now by one fell swoop or decree, the confiscation of property rights has been affirmed. There might be an excuse for this decision under the present existence of legal state of war, but what excuse can there be when this country settles down once more to normal conditions? When war exists, it is understood that as a matter of fact certain constitutional guarantees are suspended. The decision is the essence of centralization, the recognition of some of the fundamental principles of socialism. It is significant that the southern members upon the bench of the Supreme Court dissented in this opinion. Chief Justice Edward D. White, of Louisiana, Mr. Justice Joseph McKenna, of California, Mr. Justice W. Van Devanter, of Wyoming and Mr. Justice James C. McKeynolds, of Tennessee dissented. Time will establish the fact that they were right in their contents. We doubt not, but with the declaration of end of state of war in this country will come a change of more than 1 member of this august tribunal which will bring about the necessary recognition of fundamental principles and this enunciation of opinions which does not square with the cardinal principles of this Republic. MORE WARS. It seems that the end of the world war has been but the beginning of another European and Aslatic conflict. Greece is making war upon a certain part of Turkey, while undergoing a professed peace with the other part of the same Empire. The Poles have been in active conflict with tag Russians and some of the lesser kingdoms have been preparing for a conflict with Hungary. In the midst of all of this France, the Republic that seems to believe that Germany is disarmed, while declaring that it has not surrendered all of its weapons of war is now preparing to collect war reparations by means of an armed force of occupation and threats to invade Berlin. Germany, in a state of retaliation announces that such action will be regarded as an act of war and has notified its ambassadors at London on Port is to prepare to leave for home, should Germany be made the subject for further humiliation. As the German Empire is regarded as being practically defenseless, some people are disposed to regard this movement as a bluff. Great Britain is now in the midst of a most ombarrassing situation, actually fighting for its official and industrial life. Ireland is the "gorm centre" of a bloody revolution, which is neither more nor less than a test of strength between the British Empire, weakened by a world struggle and the revolutionists. Precisely all of the other dependencies, including Egypt have been accorded the rights and privileges of a self-governing empire. The Slim-Fleeners in Ireland want absolute independence. It has been intimated that just such a government as has been granted the Cuban Republic by the United States of America would be satisfactory. But Great Britain knows that to grant this concession to Ireland would lead to a revolution in India and Egypt, not to mention Australia. The British Empire considers therefore that it is struggling for its existence and that official death now would be preferable to actual governmental extermination. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA afterwards. The lower part of Ireland is practically in the hands of the revolutionists and the Government holds sway only where enough troops are kept in order to maintain its authority. Keeping these troops in service is sapping the financial life of the British Empire and that great kingdom finds it self in the same attitude observable in the case of Cuba, when Spain found that it was too expensive a proposition to hold the Islands longer. They had become a handcap and a liability. The world is now staggering under the load of a debt that may still be in evidence five hundred years from now. The United States of America has been notified that a state of war exists between Costa Rica, South America and its foster-chited Republic Panama and it has threatened to take a part in the outbreak should hostilities ensue. Just how this can be done with out congressional action is a most interesting question. It remains though for that popular branch of the Government to back up the State Department and the Administration. HOWARD UNIVERSITY NOTES. (By Emmett J. Scott, Secretaary Treasurer Howard University, Washington, D. C.) Washington, D. C.—Recent visitors to Howard University have been His Excellency, Hon. Charles Dunbar Bradley King, President of the Republic of Liberia, Hon. F. E. R. Johnston, Associate Justice of the Liberia Supreme Court; Hon. John L. Morris, former Liberian Secretary of the Treasury; and Mr. Gabriel L. Demis, all of whom compose the Liberian Plenary Commission now negotiating with the U. S. State and Treasury Departments in connection with the Five Million lot lot (55,000,000) credit established by the United States for the Republic of Liberia in 1918. President King and Justice Johnson spoke most effective to the officers, teachers and students of Howard at the noonday meeting, Tuesday, April 5th. ALSO VISITS DUNBAR HIGH On the following day, Wednesday, On the following day, Wednesday, April 6th, these gentlemen were pres- ented to the students of the Dunbar High School by Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Secretary-Treasurer of Howard Uni- versity who accompanied them. Pres- sion at the exercises in addition to Principal Garnett C. Wilkinson, were Miss Lucy Slowe, Principal of the Junior High School; Mr. Arthur C. Newman, Principal of the Armstrong Manual Training School; Mr. Eugene Clarke, Principal of the Miner N ormal School; Mr. Robert Mattingly, Head of Department of Mathematics, Public High Schools; and the Facu- ty of the Dunbar High School. Again President King and Justice Johnston spoke. They urged upon the students of Dunbar High School a closer and a better understanding of the relations which should exist bet- ween the Colored People of the United States and those of Liberia. HIGH SCHOOL STAGES DEBATE The four English classes invited President King and his party to present at a debate—"Be it resolved that the credit for Five Million Dollars established by the United States government for Liberia in 1918 should be made available at once." The question was ably debated by the four speakers representing each side. The judges awarded the debate to the affirmative side of the discussion. After the debate President King and party were given a luncheon by the Principal and faculty of the Dunbar High School, to which was also invited the Principals of the above named public schools. An inspection of some of the shops and claes rooms of the Armstrong Manual Training School followed. These visits to Howard University and the Dunbar High School served to give the Liberian visitors some idea as to the work in education he had carried on in Washington for the Colored people of the District of Columbia and for the Nation. SOME OTHER VISITORS Other recent visitors to Howard University have been Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois, Director of Research; Mr. James Welleon Johnson, Executive Secretary and Dr. R. M. Davnall, Field Agent of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Dr. Du Bois spoke to the student body at one or the noon meetings while Mr. Johnson spoke under the scripses of the student branch of the N. A. A. C. P. Another notable visit or during the month was Mr. Teizo Tode of the Imperial University of Tokyo, Japan. Mr. Tede is a student of educational methods and included Howard University among the schools to be studied by him. Howard University will send the following team to be entered in the Penn Relay Races to be held on Franklin In Field, Philadelphia, Pa., under the auspices of the University of Pennsylvania. April 29th and 30th, 1991; II. K. Perry, L. J. Robinson, F. D. W. Williams and R. J. Fitzgerald, with R. Couter and F. Jones as substitutes. Perry, Williams, and Fitzgerald were members of the team representing Howard at the Penn Races held last year. The Howard University team will be entered in a class with Tufts, Carnegie Institute, Rochester, Howard Vermont, and Bowdoin. There is every reason to believe that the team will make a creditable chowing for F. LET THE PLANET FOLLOW YOU GAVE PRONAGE INFORMATION TO DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE SIX MONTHS AGO. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, today published a statement showing that information of peonage in Georgia had been given to the Department of Justice in October 1920, by the assistant secretary of the Association, Walter F. White. An extract from the minutes of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People of October 11, 1920, is as follows: "On October 2nd, Mr. White, assistant secretary called at the Department of Justice and had a two hour interview with Assistant Attorney-General Herron and Mr. Norris of the Department.....Recently, several cases of pennage in the South have come to the attention of the Association. While calling at the Department of Justice, the assistant secretary talked with Mr. Herron regarding these cases.....Mr. Herron has ordered the United States Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia to start investigation and action. He asks that as many of these cases as the Association can secure be sent him." In making public the statement, the National Association calls attention to the similarity between conditions prevailing in Arkansas that provoked the riots of 1919, and the convoked the riots of 1919, and the conditions in Georgia where efforts were made to divert attention from peon age by circulating rumors of a Negro plot and uprising.

PETERSBURG BEATS HAMPTON Hampton, Va., April.—The Hampton Institute baseball nine lost, to Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute of Petersburg, on the Hampton Institute diamond by a score of 4 to 3. The teams were well matched and on the whole it was the best played game witnessed on the Institute diamond for some time. The contest was largely a pitcher's battle from the start, Chamberlin, the Hampton hurler striking out 14, while his opponent, Braxton, struck out 12. Both pitchers walked two men. Eight errors were made by Hampton and one by Petersburg. There were several sensational plays during the game. Wood of Hampton, the first man on the bat, hit the first ball he received for a home run. In the ninth inning a thrilling catch was made by Coates, the Petersburg center fielder, which clinched the victory for his team. The line-up was as follows: HAMPTON—Wood, L. F., Rainy R. F.; Mann, C. F.; Gunn, 1 B.; Long, S. J.; Jackson, 2 B.; Alexander, 3 B.; Campbell, C.; Chamberlin, P. PETERSBIRG—Nicholas, L. F.; Stewart, R. F.; Contes, C. F.; Blue, 1 B.; Turner, S.
