Walter F. White Assistant Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People 70 Fifth avenue, New York, returns today after a personal investigation of the recent race riot in Tulsa, Oklahoma, saying that between 150 and 200 Negroes were killed in the riots and at least 50 white peonies, Mr. White declared that the riot was largely due to a misuse of the word "attack" and "assault" the impressor being given that a colored man had attempted rape upon a white girl, whereas he had merely stumbled in an elevator and in attempting to recover his balance stepped upon her foot. "Having been sworn in as a deputy sheriff and having been on patrol such during the Tulsa riot," said Mr. White today. "I am able to state that the Tulsa riot in sheer brutality and wilful destruction of life and property stands without a parable in America." home building, described that a courier had attempted to assault them, but sopping to inquire, and with considering the utter impossibility of criminal assault being perpetrated in broad daylight in the elevator of a public building, a principal street of a town of 10,000 a senseless mob set to avenge the honor of white wool school. It was a result, between 200 and 250 and colored citizens are known to have been killed and unknown number of colored men and women, and children were burned a five, 49 square miles of business and residential property valued at a million and one dollars were destroyed, and every damage done to the name of Isa and of Oklahoma. In justice to Tulsa it must be said that a large percentage of the white inhabitants condemned in unmeasured habitats the outrage which has been persecuted. The Salvation Army, the Red Cross, local relief agencies and churches have done commendable work in providing food, clothing and shelter for the destitute victims of the riot. "Tulsa's experience is exceedingly important in that conditions which led to its night of terror exist in many other cities North and South and unless unusual efforts are used the greatest consequences are to be feared. Some of the white citizens of Tulsa are attempting to blame the riot or Negro radicalism. When I questioned them regarding the nature of this calefaction I found invariably that it consisted of demands by Negroes that the federal constitution be enforced and that lynching, poaching, disobedience and Jim Crowism be abolished. "There will be a state investigation of the riot but in the opinion of the citizens of Tulsa it will amount to nothing. The Tulsa riot has convinced me that the only hope of averting repetitions of it lies in federal interference." MASONS ELECT OFFICERS At a regular stated communication of Holson Lodge, No. 23, A.

WHITE MEN ASSAULT COL- ORED GIRL ON WAY HOME Arrested and Locked Up--Armed Police Officers Found the Place Quiet. Some one enphoned to Editor John Mitchell, Jr. Monday night to about 12 o'clock that there was a riot in south Richmond on Lawson street, but did not give any further information and it was Tuesday at erosion before this report could be verified. Then the morning paper told the story of a riot calling being made and of the sending of tity police-officers armed with riot guns had been sent to the scene of the alleged disturbance. Then in a company with John R. Cochill and Richard Robinson, son of C. H. Robinson, the grocery, he went to Swannboro and was soon at the bedside of Miss Abbie Neal, near 43rd and Lawson streets, near the best bike tracks of the Atlantic Coast Lime. THE GIRL'S STATEMENT With her was Mrs. Willie Randolph of 4312 Lawson street, who was doing all she could for the indisposed daughter of Lee Neal. Miss Neal made the following statement: "Emmia Byrd of 4310 Lawson street and I were coming from a meeting of St. John's Watchmen at their Hall 1$ E. Leicam street and we got off the car near the end of the Hull street line. When we got off, it was about 10,600 P. M. There was a crowd of young whitenem, standing at Charley Kahl's store. We came up the road and we got to the woods and came to a little pass, leading into 43rd street. TWO WHITE MEN THERE. There we met these two white men. One was named Charley Brown and I do not know the name of the other one. Charley Brown grabbed me just as though he would grab me by the throat. I hollered and screamed. He told me not to holler. After I hollered, he turned me loose, and he ran through the woods. He came around Lawson street and before I could get to the corner, he came around and wanted to know what was the matter. People came up as soon as I started to hollering. I told them that was the man. They called up the officer and he came and arrested him." THE OTHER GIRL Emma Byrd confirmed these statements and she said that when Brown grabbed Abbie, she ran screentime-calling for some one to go to Abbie. White people crowded up and stood around. There is only one block colored people living in this neighborhood and no one outside of the block answers the colored folks could be seen. Mrs. Rambolph said she did not know of any one living in residential Abbie's brother was in bad sleep at the time but the officers came and arrested him on the charge of firing a revolver. THE GIRL FAINTED It was also uncertained that Abbie Neel fainted and had to be brought home after her experience. It was also stated that there was no disposition on the part of any of the colorate people to resort to violence. The man charged with the offense was arrested and the officer, who turned in the riot call had no reason in the world for so doing. CALL OUT 50 POLICE TO STOP SOUTSIDE RIOT (Richmond Va.

WHITE MEN ASSAULT COL- ORED GIRL ON WAY HOME Arrested and Locked Up--Armed Police Officers Found the Place Quiet. Scene one tephoned to Editor John Mitchel I, Jr., Monday night at about 12 o'clock that there was a riot in Sixth Richmond on Lawson street, but did not give any further information and it was Tuesday afternoon before this report could be verified. Then the morning paper told the story of a riot call being made and of the sending of fifty police-offers armed with riot guns had been sent to the scene of the alleged disturbance. Then in a company with John R. Cogbill and Richard Robinson, son of C. H. Robinson, the grocer, he went to Swannboro and was soon at the beaside of Miss Abble Neal, near 43rd and Lawson streets, near the old best line tracks of the Atlantic Coast Line. THE GIRL'S STATEMENT With her was Mrs. Willie Randolph of 4312 Lawson street, who was doing all she could for the indisposed daughter of Lee Neal. Miss Neal made the following statement: "Emma Byrd of 4310 Lawson street and I were coming from a meeting of St. John's Watchmen at their Hall 18 E. Leigh street and we got off the car near the end of the Hull street line. When we got off, it was about 10:00 P. M. There was a crowd of young white men, standing at Charley Kahl's store. We came up the road and we got to the woods and came to a little pass, leading into 43rd street. TWO WHITE MEN THERE There we met these two white men. One was named Charley Brown and I do not know the name of the other one. Charley Brown grabbed me just as though he would grab me by the throat. I hollered and screamed. He told me not to holler. After I hollered, he turned me loose and he ran through the woods. He came around Lawson stunted and before I could get to the corner, he came around and wanted to know what was the matter. People came up as soon as I started to hollering. I told them that was the man. They called up the officer and he came and arrested him." THE OTHER GIRL Emma Byrd confirmed these statements and she said that when Brown grabbed Abbie, she ran screaming, calling for some one to go to Abbie. White people crowded up and stood around. There is only one block of colored people living in this neighborhood and no one outside of the block amongst the colored folks could be seen. Mrs. Randolph said she did not know of any one firing resolvers Abb's brother was in bed asleep at the time, but the officers came and rested him on the charge of firing a revolver. THE GIRL FAINTED It was also ascertained that Abbie Neal fainted and had to be brought home after her experience. It was also stated that there was no disposition on the part of any of the colored people to resort to violence. The man charged with the offense was arrested and the officer, who turned in the riot call had no reason in the world for so doing. CALL OUT 50 POLICE TO STOP SOUTHSIDE RIOT (Richmond Va.

MAN MORTALLY WOUNDS WIFE IN PETERSBURG. Petersburg, Va., June 14.—Mario Yancey, colored, was shot and probably mortally wounded at her home on Farmer street today, making the second serious shooting among colored people in this city within the past twenty-four hours. Yancey made his escape and had not been apprehended late this afternoon. The shooting was without provocation, according to the woman, her husband, from whom she had been separated for some time, returning from Richmond this morning going to her home and shooting her without warning. He fired six shots at her four taking effect in her body. She is now at the Petersburg Hospital, with small chances of recovery. Yesterday morning Ida Hill, colored, shot and instantly killed her husband, Willie Buck Hill in a jealous rage. The shooting occurred at the home of another colored woman where Hill had gone after leaving his wife. The woman who is held without ball, calms she shot in self-defense. Only one shot was fired by the woman, the bullet striking the man in the heart and killing him instantly. REV. J. W. DUDLEY NOTICE!

SUBSCRIPTION RATES Year Year ..... $ 2.00 14 Months ..... 1.10 Mice Months ..... .60 Foreign Subscriptions ..... 2.50 SATURDAY..... JUNE 18, 1921 Talk is cheap with some people and rather expensive with some others. Jealousy and hatred are twin companions. Trouble is for us all and happiness is for us all too. True friendship is to be greatly valued. Sporadic love is to be avoided. This life is a problem and the existence beyond the grave is a great mystery. You cannot win by deceiving people. Say what you mean and mean what you say. Everybody talks Heaven, but so few of us are really trying to get there. Be police and obliging to white people be equally so to colored people and all will be well. Some people like to hear about successes and some others prefer to listen to tales of woe. Keeping one's troubles to himself is rather embarrassing and hurtful but it is the best plan after all. The buzzing society is in existence in other places than in the neighborhood of a bee-hive. When a bad man gets a good woman it is the time in the land for mourning for the good woman. Some people were built to marry and some others appear to have been created to remain single. Heaven is not so far away. You will reach, there before you know it if you live uprightly and do well. Colored people, who know the right should do right, but they do not always do right. Let us prove to the white people in each community in which we live that we are trying to deserve their good will and permanent friendship. Beware of the tattler. A person who tattles to you about some one else will tattle about you to some one else Some people will not accept hear say evidence and some others will not profit by down-right experience. People, who believe that they can climb up to Heaven had better start climbing now, in order to get there Some people give too much of their spare time to frolic and some others give too much of their time to work. When Jesus Christ was on earth, he came in contact with the same class and kind of people, who are living these days. Some people will ride a willing horse to death and some other people will wear an accommodating person out by asking repeated favors. Some people believe in taking advantage of the poor and of 'ording of over the weak,' but these kind of folks will bring about their own undoting. Some folks do not like to prais other people for unusual accomplish ments and as a rule these kind of pe ople like to be praised for their own accomplishments. Some people believe in being at home after nightfall. Some others believe in being at the same kind of place, but they do not not wind up at their own homes. Some people sing, "Shall we meet beyond the River?" without trying to meet on this side of that stream of crystal water. Some people's mouths are set to tell a falsehood, just like some other folk's mouths are framed to tell the truth. Some people believe in wearing long faces and some others believe L smiling and in bringing with them sunshine. To which class do you be long? Some times in this world, we are disheartened and burdened down and then again, we are light-hearted and gay with the prospect of success shining in the distance. Many of our friends have crossed the River and we feel lonely on this side sometimes, resting in the hope that there is rest beyond the grave and that we shall know each other there. When a person goes fishing and it says nothing about his experiences you have no need to ask him about the success of his trip. He didn't have any. You may pray all you want, but if you do not get up from your knees and proceed to do something for your self, God will not answer your prayers. Young folks are disposed to have their own way. In many instances, it is best to 'e' them have it. They pay the price of their folly and experience after all is the best teacher The sun shines one day and the clouds gather sometimes before nightfall, but there is always time to consider that one condition follows the other and that true happiness rests within the human heart and mind. Doing right does not mean that you will attain success at once by following that line of action. In face it may mark the beginning of your troubles, which will be followed by the end of these same annoyances and the crowning act of success by giving unto you. Those people, who are disposed to criticize Rear Admiral William S. Sims for utterances in his address delivered at the luncheon of the English Speaking Union in London, June 7, 1921 should remember that all kinds of liquor are furnished upon such an occasion and that the Rear Admiral had been living in "dry" America for some time. It will be at least three weeks after he returns to this country, before he will be quite himself again. --- Director of Public Works, Allan J. Saville has won great favor amongst all the people in this city and especially the colored people, by his grasp of conditions here and the steps he has taken to remedy almost intolerable conditions with reference to Richmond city streets. He has given old Jackson ward an "emergency treatment," which now enables automobilists to travel in that section of the city, something akin to bodily comfort. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA The National Equal Rights League, Rev. M. A. N. Shaw, President, and Mr. William Monroe Trotter, Secretary has scored again. This time, they succeeded in having Governor Cox, of Massachusetts express his abhorrence of the exercise of mob violence at Tulsa, Oklahoma and this distinguished statesman sent a letter to President Warren G. Harding asking him to appeal for aid for those corrupted people, who have been reduced to want and robbed of all of their belongings in this world. The condemnation is drastic and effective. It was on this initiative that the report was given out that an investigation will be made by the Department of Justice, in order to ascertain, whether or not any federal questions are involved. REDUCTION OF REPRESENTATION Hon. John T. Adams of Dubuque, Iowa is now chairman of the Republican National Committee. One of the most important acts of this great organization was to reduce the party representation in the Southern States, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina and Texas lost delegates in this respect. Hon. Henry Lincoln-Johnson is reported to have led the fight against this reduction. He tow out by a vote of 35 to 12. It would be well to ask just what this movement means at this time. Does it foreshadow a movement on the part of the Republican leaders to reduce the congressional representation in the southern States? If it does, then the line of consistency has been observed in this movement. If not, it foreshadows gloomy days ahead for the Republican organizations in these States. In all of the States named, "lily-white" organizations have sprung up. In his fight Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson had the support of the white organizations also affected and Hon. H. L. Remmell of Arkansas was forward in lining up with him. We shall watch with interest, the result of this movement. Colored men are fighting for their political existence inside of the Republican Party. The mistake now being made by the Republican leaders is in presuming and accepting as a fact that the Democrats, who lined up in the support of the Republican candidates last Fall came into the Republican Party to remain. They came to rebuke the Wilson brand of Democracy and as soon as the gloom from which they fled lifts and they do not secure amongst their new-made friends all that they expect, they will be found renewing acquaintance with their democratic friends of other days. Kicking the colored Republican voters out in order to keep this kind of material in will prove to be a memorial blunder on the part of the Re CHAIRMAN POLLARD AND HIS PARTY. Chairman J. R. Pollard of the "hily black" Republican Party is very much in the condition of Congressman Thomas E. Watson when he represented his congressional District as a Populist. In the midst of a mix of discussion, he exclaimed in bewilderment, "Mr. Chairman, where am I at?" This seems to be the predicament of this colored organization in view of the fact that the recommendations of the regular Republican organization in this State are being heeded, while the protests of the large body of colored Republicans, which Mr. Pollard and his associates represent go unheeded. They get scant courtesy at Washington. Colored people in this State might as well be at the north Pole or with the Devil and his angels, so far as the securing of recognition is concerned and the ascertainment of their wishes is consulted. What has brought about this condition of affairs? Has it been poor management or no management at all? It may be due to the organization of another party organization, calling itself Republican, which organization has been labelled, "spurious" by the political authorities at Washington. So far as results attained are concerned, it might as well have gone to the public under some other name. It seems to be the avowed purpose of the present white Republican management to break up this organization and to crush any white Republican organization, which dares to recognize it. In the meantime, the regular Republican organization is sailing under a white Republican banner, with the inscription that no Negro Republican need apply. It is indeed a most interesting situation, which demands the most careful consideration at the hands of our ablest and most conservative leaders. It might be well to state though that it is essentially necessary for our own people to get rid of that spirit of intolerance; which seems to have been in evidence during the earlier days of their campaign They brooked no disagreement with their plans and tolerated no adverse comment at the hands of those who saw or thought they saw blunders on their part in the handling of the movement. Now is the time for reason and friendly conversation. We are standing on the brink of a political abyss, so far as the present Republican Party is concerned and the way in an opposite direction must be sought to the end that the politician labor of well-nigh half a century may not be needlessly thrown away. HELP WANTED. Hon. David H. Blair, the recently appointed Commissioner of Internal Revenue announces that he finds the prohibition law a great burden to his department and he wishes it traps ferred to the Department of Justice, where it be'ongs. We could have to him this before the law went into effect. This whole prohibition business was a result of a propaganda on tax part of wealthy theorists, backed by the business interests, who took the view that if money was stopped from going into the coffers of the wealthy whiskey men, it would flow in other lines of business and make the controlling elements therein well-do. They were not mistaken. It also made the wholesale whiskey dealers well-do, who coined millions of dollars by the movement. The retailers were ruined, whil thewholesalers shipped their large stocks of liquors abroad, where it is being reshipped in an illicit trade at enormous profits to this country again. Whiskey that sold for 75 cents per quart is now being retailed for $12.00 and $15.00 per quart. Corn whiskey that sold for 40 cen's per quart is now being sold for $6.00 and $9.00 per quart. A drink of whiskey that brought 5 cents at any bar-room is now selling for 50 cents per drink Men still go staggering through the streets. Some drink all kinds of preparations and ruin their health, while the theorists call for larger appropriations to employ whiskey-drinkers to enforce the law, which law is not being rigidly enforced for there are not men nor money enough to enforce it. In the meantime, the taxes on liquors go into discard, so to speak and the money cost of the effort to enforce the law has become a burden upon the tax-payers, who hesitate to enforce an opinion held by them on account of a religious public sentiment, which is unwilling to admit that in this particular war-fare against the crowning evil of the age, they have been beaten. "THE REPUBLICANS AND THE SOUTH." Under the caption, "The Republic cans and the South," the New York Times, in its issue of the 10th last says: Cheered, perhaps unduly, by that 7,000,000 majority which so dazzles them, the Republican National Committee addressed itself to the task of improving Republican political morality in the South. The winning of Southern delegations, the persuasive reasoning with Southern delegates, the undue power in national convictions of more or less phantom organizations, have long been a reproach to the party. A subcommittee of the National Committee was appointed last January to reduce this ancient scandal and "reorganize" Republicanism in the Southern States. The sages at headquarters even prophesied "a complete reconstruction in that region." On the present basis of representation established by the National Committee in 1914, each Congress district is entitled to one delegate and an additional delegate for each 7,500 votes for the Republican candidate for President. The rule just adopted by the National Committee allots one delegate to each Congress district with a district organization and that cast at least 2,500 votes for a Republican elector in the last preceding Presidential election, or for a Republican candidate for Congress in the last preceding Congress election. No district will be entitled to an additional delegate unless it cast at least 10,000 votes in the last preceding election or elected a Republican Representative. Under the new plan ten Southern States that sent 167 delegates to the National Convention of 1920 will send 144 to that of 1924. It is noticeable that South Carolina, where there seems to be a revival of the policy of building up a white Republican Party will have 4 delegates in place of its present 11; Mississippi 4 instead of 12. These two States have furnished the extreme examples of delegates practically with out votes. It then comments upon the situation in Georgia, where Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson in a combination with a few white men and an overwhelming majority of colored ones captured the Republican organization, both "boots and baggage and was himself elected National Committeeman from that State. Logically speaking, he will control the patronage of Georgia under the present administration. An effort is now being made to take from him this privilege by a reorganization of a party, which has already been re-organized. It continues: Georgia where the Republican Par- ity is to be reorganized, loses 7 delegates. It is understood that these reductions and reorganizations are favored by President Harding, who is eager to attract men of standing and service to the Republican Party in the South. "There is some division among Republicans in the matter. The surviving old stagers are attached to the system of doing business on a practical basis with Southern "publican delegates. Other elder Republicans are faithful to the weakening Republican tradition of "protecting" and "recognizing" the Negroes. Some Republican opportunists believe that the Southern situation should be faced frankly. The Republican Party in the South consists largely of Negroes disfranchised by State laws. Those laws have been declared constitutional. Negroes of character and intelligence are admitted to the franchise in increasing numbers. Why shouldn't the Republican Party acknowledge those laws as the Democratic Party does? Why shouldn't insist that only a qualified voter shall be allowed to take part in the primaries or conventions? So the opportunities. This, then is the question. The most significant part of the whole business is that at last, it is stated with authority that President Harding has been brought to the point of approving this "Will-o-Wisp" hunt for white Republican votes in the Southland. This will result in building up the skeleton of a Republican Party composed of renegade Democrats, who can control only their immediate friends and a few beneficiaries of Government patronage, while the rank and file of white men, who have succeeded in registering their disapproval of the actions of the old Democratic machine will return t the Democratic organization, where they will be welcomed with open arms. It seems to us if the Republican organization is to be controlled by any small cabal of politicians, those, who have seen service in the Party and who have braved the opprobrium and condemnation of the white Democrats of the Southland should be recognized until a genuine revolution takes place which will bring into the Republic ranks, men, who will not scorn the companionship of Republicans, white or colored, who have served all of these years for the benefit of the great political organization. The New York Times says: The new plan is a compromise but undoubtedly it looks toward a "white man's party." The Republican danger is that in trying to conciliate the Southern whites it may stir resentment among the Northern Negroes. The selection of Mr. John T. Adams of Iowa as Chairman of the National Committee is supposed to have been favored all along by Mr. Harding. The reason why it was formerly opposed has not dropped from some faithful memories, but forgiveness is an admirable virtue, and so let bygones be by gones. Very many persons who voted for Mr. Harding were much more devoted to Germany than Mr. Adams has ever been represented as being. Mr. Will Hays didn't leave the Chairman ship without inserting a sharp good into the Republican brethren. "A 7,000,000 "majority is large, but it is not an "alibit for the mistakes, negligence and extravagance of misgovernment." Ah, there is the rub! The colored voters of the northern States hold the "key to the situation." Will they use it to relieve their relatives and friends of a most embarrassing situation? If President Harding approves the formation of a white Republican Party in the South or in any other part of the country rather than a Republican Party composed of all Republicans, regardless of race, color or previous conditions of servitude, his public utterances have given no intimation of such a policy. But the New York Times virtually states that he has "surrendered" to this element within the Party. Let us hope that this great New York journal is mistaken, even though the "cards now upon the table" would seem to indicate that this newspapar is correct in its conclusions. Somewhere in the Scriptures, the divine Head made the remark, "And what will it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul?" We ask, what will it profit the Republican administration to get a minority white Republican Party in the Southland with no electoral votes and lose the great mass of colored voters of the North and lose the electoral votes of those Northern States? Colored people are educated and they have learned to think and act independently in political matters and at times with transcendent judgment. But then we decline to believe that President Warren G. Harding has yielded to the tempters and embarked upon any such campaign as this. At home after August 1, New Haven, spect for his pre-election pledges and promises. We accordingly dismiss the whole subject with a "wave of the hand." Selah. A CASE OF MURDER The following report tells its own story: Lynchburg, Va., June 9.—The jury in the Corporation Court in the case against Haywood Fortune, a white man, charged with the murder of John Bays, colored, here April 27, failed to agree, and the case went over Baxter, West Virginia. most insurmountable difficulties for second trial at the July term of the court. Fortune is at liberty on bail. When a white jury disagrees in the trial of a white man, charged with killing a Negro, the white man is guilty. --- THE SWANSBORO AFFAIR There is no need for the use of riot guns in Richmond, for the reason that coed folks will not precipitate a riot, when the police are armed with revolvers and the white folks, even if they bring about the riot will not be fired upon by the officers armed with the riot guns. Colored people hereabouts are law-abiding and are generally disposed to recognize the authority vested in these citizens, ecthed in these blue uniforms and representing the majesty of the law. We make these remarks in view of the reported riotous condition existing in o.d Manchester last Monday night, and which condition brought about the dispatch of fifty white policemen to this district, there being no colored officers in this neighborhood. The cause was the alleged attack made upon two colored girls, Misses Emma Byrd and Abbie Neal by two white men, whom these girls afterwards identified. The capturing of the white men was really what caused the trouble. Henry Conway and C. H. Brown were locked up without batt. In passing, it may be well to state that the Police Department showed rare skill and judgment in the selection of the police officers sent over to that section. They could have either made trouble or avoided trouble and they selected the latter course. We have not as yet been able to learn the cause for sending in a riot call. Colored citizens hereabouts are law-abiding and those of Swansoro are as peaceable as any in the whole country. When the whole affair is sitted, it will be found that it was a case of "much ado about nothing." The police, with their riot guns did not quiet any disturbance on the part of the colored people for the very good reason that there was no disturbance to quiet. No shots were fired at any white people and the imitation that there was any disorderly conduct on the part of any one but the whi- men directly implicated is a slander upon one of the most perceivable communities in this State. NO RACE RIOT IN Forth-third and Lawson streets. The girls told their story to some of their neighbors and immediately a moo formed, which began a search of the territory around Forty-third and Lawson streets. Two men, identified by the girls as their assassins, were found and the mob threatened them with bodily harm. CROWD HELD AT BAY Before any serious harm had been done, however, Patrolmen Wayne Mackin-Toolinger and Sanderson on duty in that section, arrived at the scene of trouble and held the mob at bay until assistance arrived. A riot call was sent to police headquarters and Sergeant Gentry dispatched all the men available, drawing on every other police station in the city to furnish its quota. Fifty policemen, commanded by Lieutenants Bryant, Ryan and Campolonica and Sergeants Wiley and Dubuque, were soon on the ground and although three shots were fired after their arrival, all of them by colored people, no harm was done. The police drew clubs and brandish ed guns when the crowd refused to his perse, but it was not necessary to use the weapons as the colored men gave way as soon as it was impressed upon them that the officers meant business. Henry Conway, 4102 Hull street and C. H. Brown, of 4011 Lawson street, were arrested and held without bail in the Third Station. Sam Neal, colored was arrested and held charged with inciting a riot and firing in a public street. The girls gave their names as Emma Byrd, 28, and Abbie Neal, 22. The Byrd girl had to be attended by a physician the police say. OTHER ARREST EXPECTED The names of the colored people, who tried to precipitate trouble by firing shots are known to the police the latter say and they will be taken into custody. News of the near-riot reached Forest Hill Park, where many whites people had congregated and crowds poured down to Forty-second street. Until a late hour, this morning extra policemen were kept on duty near the scene of the alleged attack, the police fearing another outbreak, as bands of colored men were still prowling around in that vienna. The police call it, the most serious outbreak the colored district of South Richmond has known in three years. DO YOU KNOW THEM? I desire to know the whereabouts of Anty Jackson's sons, who lived in Richmond or in Virginia somewhere during slavery times. He was an old man, who bought his freedom by working in the gold mines and after the surrender, he married a Croce. Any information concerning him on his relatives will be thankfully received by.

That he so soon in death should sleep And leave us here to mourn. All was hard, the shock severe, To part with one we loved so dear; God loved him too and thought it best So took him to His heavenly rest. No loved one stood around him to ord a last farewell.

Among 5000 men employed he was regarded as being the strtest amongst the number, being adept at running, jumping, wrest and lifting. HELD MANY POSITIONS But God had in store for him a greater work. He is a man of strong like and dislikes. He secoras hypocrisy and no one, who has won his disfavor will fail to know it. In this respect he is very much like the late celebrant Rev. John Jasper. As a friend, he is constant and true; as an enemy well, "good-night." His influence among his fellow ministers has been great and impressive. He has held many positions of honor and trust amongst the Baptist brethren. As present, he is President of the Richmond Ministerial Conference, which embraces practically all of the Baptist Churches in this community. A PULPIT ORATOR He is a power in the pulpit and he oratorial ability which other men might well envy. When arcuced, he rises to flights of oratory that grip the attention of his hearers and hold it. Once he has decided upon a course of action, he is as unchangeable as was Martin Luther during his palmest days. The anniversary exercises commenced at the Fourth Baptist Church June 6th and lasted through the 12th. Attorney W. F. Denny, Prof J. H. Blackwell, Mr. D. P. Bragg Mrs. Lucinda S. Daggett, Attorney J.

Dr Payne enjoyed it and his congregation and friends were delighted. The entire affair was a success. In this issue, just as he is today may be seen the two portraits of this remarkable man, who virtually lifted himself "by his own boot-straps" and who stands forth as an example of what a man may do in the face of all most insurmountable difficulties.

The Story of a Man Who, Even With a Great Success to His Credit, Asks Himself That Question — and Finds No Answer. (By Mary B. Mullett.) (CONTINUED FROM LAST WEEK) "The state was dry in law; but this town, at any rate, was wet enough. Our Italian friend, however, had not been paying graft to the police. A city al Italian saloon-keeper had. When this other man saw that we were drawing the crowd, he got busy. He said to the colored people of the neighborhood: "Those Northern Yankee niggers come down here and think they're better than you are. Why do you stand for it why don't you go to their show and let 'you know what you think about 'em?" "The result was that half a dozen of the men whose minds he had poisoned would try to break up the show. We would have to stop our performance and leave the stage to throw them out. And the police would stand outside and never lift a finger to protect us from such ruffianism, because the rival Italian was paying them graft. "When a line was waiting to get in to the theatre, the policemen would order them to quit standing there and would threaten to arrest them for loitering if they didn't go away. One night I tried to reason with a police man who was sending people away from the door of the theatre. But he pushed back his coat, pointed to the handle of his gun, called me vile names, and threatened me. I knew how powerless I was. If I had persisted, he would have arrested me, perhaps shot me. Then he would have declared I was a 'bad nigger,' and that he had been forced to act because I was interfering with an officer in the discharge of his duties." FULTON NOTES. The people of our community are seeming to catch the spirit of the Sun day school these days. They are sendm their children out and some of the older ones—coming too. We were very glad to see a large number present in the Mt. Calvary Baptist Sunday School last Sabbath. Some encouraging remarks were delivered by Rev. M. Fuller and Deacon A. D. Daniel. 11:30 A. M. the devotional services were in charge of Brother C. B. Jefferson. Our pastor Rev. Cobis, preached a soul stirring sermon, using as his text Luke 16:23. Out of the parable, he pictured many good ways that we can catch hold an escape Hell. Two accessions were made to the church. The choir sang very beautiful under the leadership of Deacon Nathaniel Yates and Mrs. C. B. Light ner, the organist. Special services tomorrow at 11:30 A. M. Let us come out in large numbers. Anniversary services of the Morning Star Beneficial club 3:30 P. M. 8:15 P. M. there will be a unique program rendered in honor of the following graduates of our Sunday School, Miss Olivia Woodridge, Miss Alina Logan of the Armstrong High School and Miss Una, May Foster who completed a business course from the Van De Vyer School. Mr. A. D. Daniel will make the principal speech. Friday evening from 7:30 to 9, a repast will be given them. The public is invited. Everything made not to be on the highest plane but we want to do something to encourage education, especially among our young peo ple of our school. Rev. O. B. Simms, pastor elect of the Rising Mt. Zion Baptist church preached an electrifying sermon at 11:30 A. M. Everybody seemed to be impressed with his way and manner of the gospel. 3:30 P. M. Rev, administered the Lord's supper, assisted by Rev. C. T. Martin. During the passage of the bread Brother C. B. Jefferson was called upon to say a few words, which he did in his own way and manner. Rev. E. Hayes, of the 31st Street Baptist church spoke during the passage of the wine. Other brethren who took part in the services were Rev. Walter Johnson, W. E. Brown and Sidney Henry. 8:30 P. M. a very beautiful program was rendered at Zion, in honor of Fathers Day. Our minds can be at rest from the subject that had been foremost in some of us as to the matrimony of Miss O. D. and Mr. A. A., well the marriage of Miss Olivia Daniels and Mr. Alfred Allen was solemnized last Sunday evening. The lodge can be at case now, so far as that is concerned. We will adjourn, until the busybody club has another project to worry about. May the God of peace rest and keep them as an apple of his eye. The ceremony was performed by Rev. C. B. Simms. Friends and members don't forget that the determination of the rally at the Mt. Calvary Baptist church will end the 4th Sunday in this month Each member is requested to give at least $5.00. Rev. Petiford, will preach at the Rising Mt. Mion Baptist church all day tomorrow. Rev. A. D. Clarke, conducted services at the First Baptist church, City Point, Va., last Sabbath.
