SCOTT, GRAND WORTHY RECEIVER OF DEPOSIT MRS. KATE S. THOMAS, GRAND WORTHY RECEIVER OF DEPOSIT MRS. LUCY CROSS, GRAND WORTHY CONDUCTRESS OLORED BAPTIST MINISTERS OF RICHMOND REVIEW THE BROWN - NEAL, AND THE GREEN-PERIOD CIVES — ASSAULT AND HIGHWAY ROBBERY. Inasmuch as both of these cases are yet unsettled and both are inter-menial, and our respective attaches are requested to have financial aid to one of the parties in each case, we seem it wise to give our impression and viewpoint of the cases. The cases are too well known and so recent to make any detailed statement of them necessary. The town-Neal case is one in which Charles Brown, a White man, is accused of an attempted assault on a slaved woman, Neal. The sting took place in the extreme southern boundary of South Richmond on all Street. The case was tried in Court, Part H, by Justice Maurice, Saturday, June 29, 1977, this time Charles Brown tried to love an alim. At the conclusion the case the Commonwealth somewhat reluctantly advised that the se be sent on to the Hustings court. The justice more than reactively complied. After a long use he said: "No jury will convict down. I am simply sending the se on because of no morality and ice feeling." The judge refused to grant the request of the Commonwealth to keep the already small end at $300. He reduced it to $50. The Green Pridy case is one in which Charles Green, a Neuro, is urged wilf, lighw oobbery upon white woman, Fridy. The scene the charged crime was the Peterson Turnbike near Stop 12. The was tried in the Chesterfield Court Thursday, June 2, at which time Green was sent to eighth year in the State Patrol. His at- s, Denny and Alexizie, took care of current issues of cases, and the gome alife. us having been present at both trials, we give the following comparative statement and summary of the same: 1. There seems to be no question as to the fact that an attempted assault was made by a white man upon a colored woman. There was an eye-witness. 2. In the case of Charles Green (colored) there was no eye-witness. The verdict at best is based upon etinem-tentential evidence. 3. Charles Brown (white) had several witnesses through whom he strove to prove an alibi. 4. Charles Green (colored) had several witnesses (mostly colored) through whom he strove to prove an alibi. 5. The white witnesses of Charles Brown (white) were believed, hence the judge reduced his bond, sent him to the Hustings Court simply to keep "good toiling" between the races, but predicted that "No jury will convict him." 6. The (mostly colored) witnesses of Charles Green (colored) were not believed, hence he was given eighteen years in the State prison, although the pocketbook, the main pice of the robber, was found a few yards away from the lady with her money and rings and every content untouched. When she revived from a spell, supposed to have been caused by a blow from a stick in the hands of the robber, she picked up her pocketbook and found it just as she knew it ought to be. 7. The white woman who swore that Charles Green was the man who had attempted to rob her in the road had never seen him before the day of the alleged crime, yet her word was sufficient to convict him. 8. The colored woman who identified Charles Brown (white) as her assailant had known him for years, yet the court believes her mistaken in her identification of him. 9. Only one white woman saw Green, the Negro, yet Green was convicted. 10. Two colored women saw Brown, the white man, but Brown wae not convicted; in the opinion of the Police Court and in that same RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JULY 16, 1921 MRS. HARPIET E. THOMPSON, CHIEF OF REGALIA DEPARTMENT opinion, "No jury will convict him." 11. It is not our purpose to impeach the courts. We are simply crying for justice. 12. We shall patiently wait to see what the Hustings Court, will do with Brown about the colored woman and the Court of Appeals with Green about the white woman. 12. In the meantime we urge our colored citizens to be law-abiding and we express our deep thanks to all fair-minded, law-abiding white citizens. 14. We implore our people to take a deeper interest in devotion to Almighty God, who has power to right every wrong and to give liberty to the oppressed. BAPTIST MINISTRY CONFERENCE OF EICHMOND.

Holdap Carefully Timed That the holdup was carefully timed and the men familiar with the interior of the store was evidenced by the hour of robbery, which occurred shortly after the proprietor A. Salsbury, had left the building. It was said the men located without hesitation the cash register and drawer of the desk in which the funds were kept. According to L. Levitt, brother-in-law of the proprietor, he and Randolph, the colored assistant, were closing the store for the night when two men, their lower faces hidden by handkerchiefs, suddenly entered, by the robbers carried a shotgun and was dressed in a dark suit, the other had a revolver and wore overalls. They, leveling their guns, commanded the men in the store to "throw up their hands." Randolph made a move toward the cash drawer. The aller of the two handbits, and apparently the leader, called to his confederate to "shoot the man." Randolph stopped and faced the menacing holder of the shotgun without further ado, while the leader stopped to the drawer, pocketed the cash, and emptied the desk drawer. Ten tautitude later Lieutenant Bryant and Sergeant Wiley, were on the scene, a call was sent in to the Second District and Lieutenant Ryan, with a detail from the motorcycle squad of the traffic department, made a systematic search of the premises, but no elue to the badges was discovered. The arrest yesterday was effected after an all-norning search by detectives of vultures in which the two men said to have figured in the heist were known to loiter.

George, aged 45, a citizen of Alton Park, a suburb, today announced that he would leave for Austin, Tex., within a few days to bring suit against the State of Texas to recover damages resulting from his sentence to death for a murder of which he was not guilty, and for which he served six years in the penitentiary after his commutation. According to the story told by George, who is now confined to his bed and almost helpless, he was arrested in Texas and charged with killing Ed Konecick, a grocer, at the village of Hottentot on October 1, 1881. He was tried, convicted and sentenced to be hanged, but three days before the execution, was to take place, and after he had remained in prison and heard the carpenters build the scaffold on which he was to meet death, his sentence was commuted to life imprisonment. After serving six years' according to George, Henry M. Sharpe, of Pawlwille, Texas, made a dead death confession that he had killed Konecick while drunk. After this confession George was released and attempted to secure restitution for his suffering, but it was only recently that he was able to interest Texas legislators in the case, and he stated today that he had secured a promise that the Legislature would pass an act enabling him to enter suit. George, on his arrival in Austin, will take the necessary steps to push his suit, and, in the meantime, will enter a hospital for treatment of allments claimed to be due to mental anguish while under sentence of death and imprisonment in the penitentiary.

Burton Ceruti, legal adviser of the Los Angeles Cal. Branch, the showing of the Birth of a Nation film had been stopped in that city, and in the State of California, and that W. H. Clune, owner of the film, had agreed to destroy it. The Los Angeles Times, of June 21th, quotes City Prosecutor Widney of Los Angeles, saying: "The city received a formal protest from E. Burton Ceruti, and after making a thorough investigation I was able to satisfy myself that the associated pictures producers had assured the Negroes that 'The Clansman' would run no longer in California if the Negroes would stalk with the film men on censorship. "A letter to the New York office of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, from Mr. Ceruti, says: "At a conference called by the mayor and attended by executives of State moving picture organizations, the proprietor of the Garrick Theatre and Mr. Clune, the owner of the films, it was agreed, and Mr. Clune undertook and promised to withdraw 'The Clansman' entirely from the market and to destroy the films. It was conceded by all present that the picture was unfair to the Negro and injurious to the public." --- The City Park for colored people has not as yet been secured.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES One Year ... $ 2.00 four Months ... 1.10 three Months ... .60 foreign Subscriptions ... 2.50 SATURDAY ... JULY 16, 1921 It is better to be safe than sorry. Attending to one's own business is an acquirement much to be desired. Colored people are all right. Some of them have notions that are all wrong. Living on easy street sometimes results in a transfer to the trouble district. Swimming up a stream is hard work. Floating down a stream is hard work. People, who are healthy are well off, even though they are without money. Arguing with some people is a loss of time and money and a good temper. Pure water is the best of drinks, and it is exceedingly difficult to get really pure water. Some colored folks, who call each other, "nigger" do not like to be called Negroes. Acting opposite to one's own best interest will finally result in worry and insolvency. Some people can be made to act only by persuasion and some others only by punishment. Good people are supposed to go to Heaven, but some other 'good' people go to the other place. This life is what we make it, and some of us make it a very disagreeable place in which to live. Some people shy at the truth in about the same way a balky horse shies at a railroad train. Seeing other people's faults is all right, providing you are paying due attention to your own. Killing colored folks will lead to killing white ones. You cannot confine murder to any race or any color. Matrimony is a divine institution although there are hundreds of people, who do not seem to think so. Reaching Heaven by the back gate is an impossible task. You can only got, in through the front entrance. There are hundreds of people, who are doing well and who do not know it; and who do not want to know it. Arguing with most people is time thrown away and explaining conditions the useless waste of the vocal organs. Yes, we shall tell God all about our troubles. He is great enough and has time enough to listen to all of our tales of wog. Delays are not only dangerous, but they are very dangerous. Still, there are some things, which must be delayed. A man, who is unwilling to give his wife every thing she wants to the full limit of his ability should not get married. Some of these folks around here are so light as to brains and intellect that a good strong wind would blow them away. Dodging work is a habit with some people. Others would dodge death in they could, but in the last specified case there can be no dodging. Happy families are becoming scarce and scarcer. Many women gauge the happiness of the home by the size of their husband's pocket-book. The American people like to be humbugged today as much so as they did when P. T. Barnum lived and made a fortune in humbugging them. People, who can accomplish what other people are unable to accomplish are generally in demand and can always command a satisfactory salary. You do not know just how long you shall live and you do not know just when you will die. You should save your money as an insurance against old age. Thousands of people go into the water, who cannot swim. Hundreds of others go into business with absolute no experience. The toll paid in both instances is monumental. You can accomplish more in the long run by persuasion than you can by driving. Of course, there are some folks that you cannot persuade, than there is nothing to do but drive. Many a man would like to swap his wife for some other woman or for no woman at all. You won't find one in a million though, who is willing to admit it, if he is still living at home. You cannot, as a rule, conduct a business successfully without borrowing money and you cannot make a success of the business, which you run without paying back promptly the money that you borrow. This divorce business is all wrong. A man and a woman, who are wise enough to make a choice should be made to stand by that choice for a life time. This might cause hundreds of them to hesitate about making a choice. Some people are just naturally quarrelsome. They will not be able to get along in Heaven if they find that they cannot quarrel there. This applies to males and females, to the just and the unjust. Thousands of colored folks have absolutely no race pride. They will spend hundreds of dollars for food, dress and the "good time" specialties, but not one twenty-five cents for either race work or religious and industrial enterprises. The Health Department vouches for the purity of James River water despite the fact that Lynchburg and other cities above us are continually dumping their own filth into the stream that serves us. Lynchburg is wise enough not to drink James River water. They say that every person was created for some purpose and that they have some mission in this world. The trouble about the whole business is to find out the purpose and to ascertain the mission of some of these worthless characters we know in this world. ANOTHER PROPOSED CHANGE. The Civic League is reported to have prepared another form of government for Richmond, which is a commission form of government, pure and simple. We have never been THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA able to understand how these theoretical arrangements can be made to harmonize with the fundamental principles of a Republic, when the basic declaration provides that the people shall rule and shall determine just who should control their affairs. Every step now taken is to discredit this principle and to put in the hands of one individual or a few individuals the interests of all the people without those people's consent. As a result, we are constantly going from 'bad to worse.' We are building up an arrogant oligarchy, which seems to be of the opinion that the people and their wishes are to be the last considered. Here we have in this locality some fifty thousand colored people and they are absolutely without representation in any branch of the city government. They must humbly ask for favors. They are not so situated as to make any demands. It is only by a most pathetic appeal to the sense of justice of those holding the reigns of government that any favors can be secured. Certain it is, the better class of white people should see to it that some recognition be accorded this class of people. Now, these people come forward with a proposition to take away even from the white people the representative form of government and send to the rear, the white men, who represent the white folks' interests. They propose that the representative form of government shall be abolished and that a white boss shall be seceded, not elected to control the city's affairs. We must admit that we cannot see the wisdom of this course. It may do for a while, like all palliatives and narcotics do, but in the final analysis, it is destined to break down for the reason that it is un-American. PECULLAR CONDITIONS IN GEORGIA. This is a critical time in the political history of the colored people of this country and the outlook, despite the ringing, patriotic and statesmanlike utterances of the gentleman, who now occupies a seat in the White House are not satisfactory. The powerful anti-Negro influence at the National Capital is now asserting itself and unless a counter influence is exerted the effect will be disastrous to our political rights as a people. We have read with interest the recent ringing declaration of the Atlanta, Georgia Independent and from its statements, we take it that the leading citizens of color in that State are themselves divided. There must be a cause for this condition and this cause should be eliminated. We have found that every fundamental right, which we have sacrificed and surrendered has been due to internal disagreements. Some of our own leaders ride roughshod over the rights and privileges of their associates and then become surprised when they find out that these leaders are not supporting and following them. It seems to us at this distance that the most important thing for the present colored leaders in Georgia to do is to get together amongst themselves, decide upon a united line of action and then present a solid front to the prejudiced white elements who would destroy them. This must be done by the exercise of a conciation policy, by letting by-gones be by-gones and by all citizens working for the spread and ultimate triumph of those great principios which brought the Republican Party into being and which has made it the champion of human rights for more than half a century. This action must be taken quickly. Conditions in Georgia are affecting the rights and privileges of colored people in every other State. The action of the National Republican Committee in authorizing and directing a reorganization of the Republican Party in Georgia is a long step in the direction of the absolute exclusion of the citizen of color from a participation in the affairs of the Republican Party of the country. It cannot be argued that a division in the ranks of the colored people themselves is altogether responsible for this, inasmuch as the scandalous failure to recognize Hon. R. R. Church of Tennessee, who had a united colored constituency behind him is now a matter of history. Certain it is that the conservative leaders among the colored people should get together and dispassionately discuss present day conditions with a view towards counteracting the anti-Negro propaganda, which at the present time, from a political point of view, threatens to destroy us. We must in the language of Dante's creation, : 'Awake, arise or be forever fallen.' THE TWO CASES. The Ministerial Conference of Richmond, Va. has seen fit to take up the two cases wherein a colored man, named Green is alleged to have committed highway robbery and assaulted a white woman in the day time and a white man named Brown has been charged with attempting criminal assault upon a colored woman. Both females are admittedly respectable in their respective localities. Both are positive that the right men are under arrest. Both men claim that they were somewhere else when the crimes, or alleged crimes, were committed. They claim that these cases are ones of mistaken identity. It seems to us that our attitude should be to punish the guilty and to release the innocent. There should be no indication on our part to punish the white man because he is white, but to ascertain if he is really the person guilty of the crime. If he is not guilty our demand should be to release him and let him go. If, in the excitement the female made a mistake, it should be ascertained. Certainly some white man attacked the colored woman and equally certain it is that some colored man attacked the white woman. Our attitude and that of the Ministerial Conference of Richmond is not to shield the guilty parties in either case. If Green is guilty, the demand of every law-abiding colored citizen should be the same,—that he be made to suffer. If he is innocent, it should be our effort to have him released from his present unfortunate predicament. The bond of union between the colored and white people at this time should be cemented, and every effort upon the part of the thoughtless elements white and black, to stir up race feeling should be stamped out. Let us approach these cases with an open mind to the end that equal and exact justice may be done all parties to these unfortunate happenings. Let us have peace and let us remember Tuba, Oklahoma. NOT MURDER A most interesting case comes to our notice from Danville, Virginia. It seems that Irvine Penn (colored) set a trap-gun in his store to wound or kill the thief, who had been stealing his goods. He had notified the police of his troubles. Officer J. P. Jones attempted to enter Penn's place at night and received the load of buck shot from which he died. Jone's relatives and friends became indignant and it was necessary to remove Irvine Penn to Lynchburg for safe keeping. In the meantime, the grand jury in Danville indicted Penn for first degree murder. Jack L. Lee, one of the ablest attorneys in the State has been employed to defend Penn. Just how a case of murder can be made out is interesting to us. There was not malice and it is evident that Penn had no wish or desire to kill the officer. It is also true that no one regrets more than he does, the fact that the wrong man was killed. He was over zealous in his effort to stop the taking away of his goods and chattels after the sworn officers of the law had failed to afford him any relief. The affair is unfortunate but it is one of these unfortoward, unfortunate affairs which seem destined to happen. Punishing Penn for setting a trap gun upon his own property will bring about a most unfortunate condition of affairs in that constitutional rights will be involved. It looks to us that Attorney J. L. Lee will have the better of the argument in this case and that a conviction will necessarily result in a reversal of any such decision by a higher court. THE FAILURE OF ENFORCEMENT The Richmond, Va. Times Dispatch in a recent issue makes the following comment: Recent manifestations of dissatisfaction over prohibition can furnish no genuine index to sentiment as it exists in the large communities of the country. Parades mean very little, since almost anybody with a few bands of music and a moderate amount of advertising can organize a parade for or against any cause. But, organized parades aside, the fact cannot be blinked that after two years of legal dryness there remains a very considerable element of the American people totally unreconciled to the eighteenth amendment and to the Volunteer act. The assurance which came from prohibition quarters that within a year or two after the saloon had been closed and the sources of spirituous beverages had been dried up the desire for liquor would be large dissipated and the interests most vitally involved would be silenced, has not been borne out. The desire romains unabated in most quarters, and the interests which fought a losing fight against the lawful manufacture and sale of intoxicating beverages as as clamorous as at any time since the eighteenth amendment was ratified. It is a fact, however, that the opposition to prohibition is aroused more particularly against the enforcement legislation than against the change in the organic law. If a more liberal law, carrying the amendment into effect, had been enacted; if the limit upon the a.c. holistic content of brewed beverages, for example, had been raised some what and there had been less interference in the manufacture of drinks for home consumption, it is a together possible that by now the great body of the people would be less belligerently disposed toward prohibition. Meanwhile, it might be observed, prohibition is prohibition in name only, in many sections of the country. There may be less consumption of liquor among some classes of people, but it is a matter of common knowledge that there is even greater consumption on the part of other classes. Some of the liquor consumed was illegally acquired, much of it, in fact. The bootleg industry is thriving in spite of the efforts of Federal and local enforcement officers, and it is assumed, with good reason that the illicit distillation of liquor is increasing instead of decreasing. The high prices which such beverages bring is an inducement to men to run unusual risks in order to keep their market supplied. The commonest complaint one hears against prohibition is that it has accomplished just three things: it has closed the saloon, it has increased enormously the cost of outlawed beverages, and it has brought about an unhealthy contempt for law in general. It is becoming more apparent to every conservative, thinking man that the Prohibitionists carried their cam paign methods to the extreme. After eliminating the whiskey interests, on paper, they made them more influential and powerful as a matter of fact. They encroached upon personal rights and infringed upon constitutional privileges, creating a disgust for the law. The wealthy whiskey wholesale dealers saw at once that all they had lost by the prohibition act could be made many times over by the increased price of the product and the use of 'boot-legging agencies.' They are laughing while the people who indulged in the temperate use of the whiskey are suffering. Whether or not the Prohibition Act will be repealed by law, remains a question. Whether or not it is 'repealed' as a matter of fact is not open to question. The quality of the product is not discussed, but the price asked for it has been the subject of much comment. TALKING TOO MUCH. If you were to ask us our opinion of the "Lilly Blacks" in this State we would give it as our opinion that their beeteting fault, not beeteting sin is that they talk too much. It is a fun damental principle of a political organization to keep its plans secret and to discuss its intentions in private rather than in public. To do otherwise is so put the "enemy" on notice and to enable those opposed to the organization to put into execution plans to hamper, embarrass and defeat the purpose of the "Lilly Black" organization. These thoughts came to us when we read the following news-item in the columns of the Richmond, Va., Times Dispatch of the 8th inst. The 'Ily black' faction, says Pollard, is numerically stronger by far than the 'Ily white' faction. While the illy blacks' do not seek to dictate the policy of the organization in Virginia, because of their superior strength, they do insist upon a voice in the party's councils and purpose to see that they get it. 'Pollards' 'Ily black' division, as he calls it, will meet in old Jackson Ward tonight to decide the course of strategy to be pursued in case his contingent is barred from representation in the meeting of the 'Ily whites' in Harrison Hall tomorrow night. The word has already gone forth that Pollard's faction is not going to be admitted. In which event its leader intimates, his followers will hold a caucus of their own, elect a set of delegates and storm the citadel at Norfolk on July 14. Pollard points to his own run for the senatorial toga in support of his contention that he represents the dominant faction in the Republican politics of the State. It would be well to find out if the "Lily Black" element is recognized as Republicans and if they are, what is its status inside of the Republican Party of this State? When these questions are answered, then the present Negro organization will have two courses open to it. It can either act independently, deciding in an independent way, just what party it will support or whether it will keep intact its own voting strength by supporting candidates of its own making. If the two major political parties now contending for supremacy in the State were more evenly matched, the out look for this Negro organization would be bright and demands now being made would receive attention. A person does not want to purchase or secure what he does not need. A political party does not want to make terms with another political organization, when its political strength is not needed. Can Chairman Polled and his cabinet hold together its folowers until their political strength is needed? Certain it is, if Chairman Slemp succeeds in making his political strength felt in this State this Fall, to the extent of making closer the line of cleavage between the Republican and Democratic organiza- tions, both parties will go "gunning" for votes and neither will enquire as to the color pf the citizens who cast them. But the Negro Republiicans are upon the anxious soul with reference to the political appointments in this State, which appointments will be made soon after the Fall elections. It does not matter to the regular Republican organization, whether it wins or loses in the contest. All it wants is to make a good showing. If the Negro Republiican could cast something like fifteen thousand votes for the Democratic candidates and still maintain their status as Republicans, it would make the regular Republican organization 'look like thirty cents' in the contest. Are these colored Republians well enough organized to do this? We hardly believe that they are able to do this. Now, it may be that we are ourselves committing the same blunder or made by the 'tily black' organization in this State,—that of talking too much, when a1' that we have said should have been spoken behind "closed doors." THE Y. M. C. A. NOTES. The Y, M, C, A, of Richmond is still contending for the principles upon which the work was founded by Sir George Williams, 1811—John 17-21: "That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that thou hast sent me." Men, no time to let the world in, but every moment is required to get into the world. Sorry that the other fellow left Christ for the world and now he is naked. The boys and men crowded the building those hot days and found much relief, for everything was on the ice. Last Sunday was a hot day, but the boys and men were out for service just the asme. Right, be loyal, 9:30 A. M, at the Y, M, C. A, building the workers held a good meeting. Committeemen James Dunn and A. W. Akens conducted the meeting in the City Home at 10 A. M, and the results were many. The work in the City Jail was under the direction of Committeeman William Thomas at 10 A. M. The boys were out at 4 P. M. in large numbers to the meeting at the Y. M. C. A. building, Master S. H. Tompkins gave them a special address. Subject, "Young Men for Christ." A great hit for a boy. This thought in the mind of a boy we are safe for the future. The singing was good. 5:30 P. M. at the Y. M. C. A. Secretary Leroy Frayers conducted the open meeting for the men. All took an active part. Glad to see strangers present. Men, he on time Sunday ready for hard work, and the other men. Come to the meeting for the workers at 9:30 A. M. at the Y. M. C. A. All boys to the Y. M. C. A. 4 P. M. to hear that special address by a boy. Live singing. Get into the stream, boys. Let no man fail to hear that stranger who is in town 5:30 P. M. at the Y. M. C. A. A contractor with his force of men who is doing in Richmond a special brick work—Mr. Mac D. Rowe—will address the men, Subject, "Building." Special songs, Men, be on time and help to make the stranger at home. Hear this man of experience. Do not forget to hear the special sermon at the Sharon Baptist Church Sunday, July 24th, 3:30 P. M., by Dr. L. C. Garland, pastor of the Second Baptist Church, South Richmond. The Junior Choir will sing, Watch the Blues and Reds in this great rally for the Y. M. C. A. Everybody is invited. Women and men, stand by your colors. The Y. M. C. A. cannot move without prayer, thus we are asking everybody to pray for the Y. M. C. A. JAPAN CONDEMIS AMERICAN LYNCHINGS The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, today announced that Japanese condemnation of American lynchings had been received in the form of a four column editorial in the Asian Review, May-June number, published in Tokyo, Japan: "Americans vociferously claim to be the champions of justice and humanity," says the editorial, "yet they do not hesitate to trample upon these very principles and perpetrate the foulest deed ever conceived." The crime referred to is the burning alive, at the stake, of Henry Lowery, at Nodena, Arkansas, on January 26, 1921. The matter quoted by the Asian Review was press publicity matter sent out to the foreign press of the world by the New York office of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People: "It is an indelible stain," the editorial continues, "on the name of America that in this enlightened age such crimes should take place publicly and the offenders go unpunished. It goes to demonstrate the utter callousness of hearts of the American public. Lynching is possible in the United States because the spirit of America is in favor of it. If this were not true, this four crime would never have grown to its present proportions nor would any of the more than three thousand lynchings during the past thirty-two years have taken place." The editorial concludes by saying that creation of a strong public opinion throughout the world will be necessary "in order to bring sufficient pressure to bear on the American government to adopt effective measures at once so as to make it impossible for the American mobs to resort to these barbarous excesses." PRESIDENT S. J. ROSS, OF COLLEGE OF WEST AFRICA, LIBERIA, DIES ON SHIP BOARD EN ROUTE TO AMERICA—MRS. ROSS ARRIVES. The recent arrival in this country of Aura, Samuel John Ross, widow of the late President S. J. Ross, of the College of West Africa, Monrovia, Liberia, brings to mind the ultimately demise announced by cable of the end of one of the most useful and versatile members of his race, President Ross during his lifetime was identified with the Negro population of three widely separated parts of the world, and in each was an outstanding and constructive personality. He was born in British Guiana, South America, September 19, 1878. He came to the United States in 1902 and entered Lincoln University. During his college career he earned these qualities for leadership which have made his name well known among his people of two continents. He received the degree of bachelor of arts and bachelor of divinity in 1907, at which time he was president and valedictorian of his class. During his career at Lincoln he won three gold medals for oratory. In 1908 he entered the college of Physicians and Surgeons of Chicago. He married Miss Pearl F. Thomasson, of Chicago, in March, 1913, and in May of that year sailed for Porto Leico to finish his medical preparation with the practical work of an interne at Yauco under the direction of one of his former professors who had charge of several dispensaries there. In 1915, after two years' work, the ill health of Mrs. Ross caused their return to the United States, where Dr. Ross practiced medicine until 1918, when he was appointed medical missionary to Liberia by the Board of Foreign Mission of the Methodist Episcopal Church. In recognition of his ability he was soon appointed president of the College of West Africa, Monrovia, which position he was holding at the time of his death. The college grew rapidly under Dr. Ross' able administration from an enrollment of 250 to 356. In collaboration with Mrs. Ross, the president organized the Young Women's Christian Association and the Young Men's Christian Association, as well as an athletic association patterned after those of American colleges. These organizations were the first of their kind in Liberia and attracted widespread and favorable comment. The Y. W. C. A. of Liberia has recently been received into complete affiliation with the world organization of that name. Owing to the ill health of Mrs. Ross, a furlough was granted the couple by the Board of Foreign Missions under which they worked, and it was aboard the steamship San Carlos that Dr. Ross was stricken, and passed away a week later. He was buried at Santa Cruz, Tenerife, Canary Islands. Mrs. Ross has recently arrived in the United States. According to officials of the Methodist Board of Foreign Missions, Dr. and Mrs. Ross occupied high rank among missionaries. They took a prominent and constructive part in the Methodist mission program for Liberia, which maintains thirty-one mission schools with sixty-five teachers and an enrollment of several thousand pupils, many of their natives of the interior bush country where education is the primary need in spreading American civilization and Christianity. --- HAMPTON ROADS BUILDING AND LOAN ASSOCIATION. Another progressive Negro organization was launched last week when a charter to do business in this State was granted the Hampton Roads Building and Loan Association by the State Corporation Commission. Looking forward to the time when the chief ports of Hampton Road will be under one central government, the Hampton Roads Building and Loan Association, Inc., will open offices in the three cities of Norfolk Newport News and Portsmouth. The association was capitalized at one quarter million dollars in order to adequately meet the demand for loans on homes and other real estate being erected by Negroes in Tidewater. Each of the three cities is equally represented among the officers and directors, all of whom are men of broad business experience and unquestionable integrity. Being in daily touch with large numbers of Negroes, it has long been the opinion of the members of the board of directors that the greater need of Negroes of this section more and better homes. In no way can the race be helped more, physically, economically or spiritually than through financial assistance in the erection of dwellings, church hotels, clubs and business house. They realized also that the partis payment plan is of more advantage to the masses; hence the idea of permanent building and loan association, without fines and no rapa as to withdrawals, was agree upon as being the best way to help the largest number. Men behind this movement are W. H. C. Brown, president, one of the ablest attorneys of this State, a successful investment banker of Newport News; Vice-Presidents; Dr. Q. A. Webb, Norfolk, director Metropolitan Bank and Trust Co. and successful surgeon and physician; H. A. Brown, Portsmouth, agency director; Standard Life Insurance Co. of Atlanta, and A. D. Mannin, Newport News, superintendent Southern A Society of Virginia; Secretary, G. V. C. Brown; Treasurer, W. E. Lawrence, merchant, and director Metropolitan and Tidewater Banks and Trust Companies; Assistant Secretaries; H. S. Stanback, Portsmouth Mutual Savings Bank; Prof. L. Palmer, Newport News, Va., principal Lincoln High School, and J. Seldon, Norfolk, instructor Booker Washington High School Subscription books for stock this association are now open. shares are selling at the usual of $100, payable 25 cents per on each share. The offices of association are located as fol- Norfolk, 926 Church Street, stairs), Newport News; Southern Society Building, 555 Fifth St Portsmouth, Community Building, County Street.

Respocttully JOHN R, WILLIAMS L. J. HAYDEN Manufacturer of Pure Herb Medicines 220 W. Broad, Richmond FOUR HAILED AS FIRST DEFINITE STEP TO PEACE OF WORLD Is Quickest Possible Means of Enabling Nations to Rehabilitate Themselves. Washington, July 11.—President Harding's disarmament proposal has won almost universal approbation in Congress from Republicans and Democrats alike. The projected conference of the powers was hailed as a definite step toward world peace without foreign entanglements and as a possible means of enabling the nations of the world to rehabilitate themselves by cutting down gigantic expenditures for armies and navies. Many senators said they believed the administration would have been wiser to confine the discussions to the limitation of navies, and to have included the United States, Great Britain and Japan only. The possible inclusion of land disarmament, it was feared, might foredoom a conference to failure, because of conditions in Europe which make necessary the maintenance of large forces. The tripartite conference, limited to navies, was proposed by Senator Borah, of Idaho, in an amendment to the naval appropriations bill. Borah Declines to Comment. Borah declined to comment on the President's action. He is known to believe, however, that the effect of what has been done will be destroyed by including five nations and by not specifically limiting discussions to sea power. Borah, it is understood, fears that the administration's efforts not only are certain of failure, but that they may have the result of destroying the disarmament movement in Europe. He is expected to make known his objections to the Senate when a favorable opportunity presents itself. Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations, said he approved thoroughly of what the President had done, and expressed belief that the deliberations of any conference that may meet will be confined to a discussion of navies. Lodge explained that the reason for his belief was that conditions in France have been such as to make large armies necessary. He pointed out that land disarmament had not specifically been included, but that the way was left open for considering it if this were found feasible. Certain to Receive Support Lodge declared the President's call would be certain to receive support from all quarters. He saw no cause for objection from irreconcilable opponents to the treaty on the grounds that the conference might be an opening wedge for an association of nations or might involve this country under the treaty and league. "The President quite clearly is working outside the league of nations and the treaty," said Lodge. Senator Underwood, of Alabama, Democratic leader, expressed the views of most minority members when he said: "I am heartily in favor of the disarmament conference the President has approved. I know of no way by which the world can pay its debts and get back on its feet except through the reduction of armaments. I hope the powers will respond favorably and quickly to the President, and that a conference can be carried through to a successful consummation." Would Follow Borah Proposal Senator Johnson, of California, disarmament advocate and leader in the fight against the league of nations, thought it would have been better for the President to have followed the terms of the Borah proposal. "Of course, I'm very glad that any efforts shall be made to reduce armaments," he said. "I agreed with Senator Borah that the appropriate way to approach the matter was by the endeavor to have the three great maritime powers reduce sea armaments. If this could be done the rest would be easy; if it cannot be done there can be no real accomplishment. "Reduction of armament necessarily can be had only by agreements. To destroy our defense and lessen our naval strength when other nations either continue theirs or increase it, would be silly. The proposal now, as I understand it, embraces land and sea disarmments. To include armies in the first endeavor complicates the situation and possibly makes it more difficult. However, an attempt in good faith will be most welcome to overtaxed people." Senator Penrose, of Pennsylvania one of the leaders, said he had always favored disarmament, and frequently had said so. He said that he had favored reducing the navy appropriations on their own account even without a conference, and questioned that an international conference is necessary for America to make a beginning. WRECKED CARS ARE FIRED, FOLLOWING EXPLOSION OF GAS Badly Injured Are Rushed to Hospital, Where Two Succumb. Moundsville, W. Va., July 10.—Five persons are known to be dead and approximately fifty injured at Langdon Field here late today when a Martin bombing plane crashed into a group of automobiles parked on the grounds. An explosion followed, setting fire to the machines. The dead were all spectators. Lieutenant C. R. Melve, pilot, and Lieutenant T. H. Dunton, assistant pilot, were rescued by Carl Miller, coach of Bethany College. The dead are: Carl Petitt, Fred Edge, Mrs. George Long, 65 years old, Moundsville, and an unidentified child, aged about 9, and Ralph Hartzell. Most of the injured were taken to the Glendale Hospital, where it was reported five were in a serious condition. A physician's office nearby also was used as an emergency hospital, where it was reported two had died. Were Taking Off in Plane. The known dead were of Moundsville, with the exception of Edge. whose home was at Round Bottom, W. Va. Leutenants Melve and Dunton were taking off in the government plane from Langdon Field, starting from the south side of the field, with the Ohio River on their left. They had risen about thirty feet, according to the reports, when the plane swung sharply to the left and seemed about to hit a hangar. An apparent effort was made, it was said, to throw the plane into the river, but it was flying too low and crashed into a line of automobiles lined along the river bank Trapped in Automobiles. Sixteen automobiles were burned, and the dead, in most instances, were trapped in the machines. Sergcant Ray Duley, on duty at the field, assisted Coach Miller, a former army aviator, in extricating Melve and Dunton from the airplane. An engine of the Wheeling fire department was wrecked when attempting to reach the scene of the disaster. The pilots arrived at Moundsville Saturday afternoon with the bomber from the Martin factories at Cleveland. Nearly a score of persons were either burned or injured so severely as to require surgical attention. Of the injured at the Glendale Hospital, the following were reported as the most serious cases: Stanley Patrick, aged 8, Moundsville, skull fractured; Leonard Darrah, 50, Moundsville, skull fractured; Mrs. George eMrtz, Bellaire, Ohio, hurt internally and shoulder fractured. Many other residents of Moundsville are also at the hospital being treated for injuries and burns, including Mrs. Mary Stevens and her daughter, Alice, who were reported at being among the dead. J. M. McBeth and Mrs. Marion Keyser, of Moundsville, knocked clear of blazing machines propeller of the bomber, and although severely bruised and shaken, were not seriously injured Lieutenants Melve and Dunton and Sergeant James Long, in charge of the field, declined to make any comment as to the cause of the accident. Lieutenant Dunton suffered slight burns about the face and hands, but neither he nor his companion were hurt severely. Both are regularly attached to Langdon Field, which is on the Ohio River in the upper part of Moundsville, and comprises an area of about ten acres. It was originally planned for private enterprises, but recently was taken over by the aviation division of the War Department and has been designated as a midway station between Dayton, Ohio, and Washington, on the United States military airway. Sixteen automobiles were crushed into a mass and set fire, many of them filled with people. Both tanks of the aircraft exploded, hurling the burning fuel over the cars and spectators for several yards around. Due to the fact that many of the less severely burned and injured were rushed to their family physicians for treatment, a complete list of the burned and injured cannot be obtained until a complete check is taken of the cases in the hands of every physician in the city. Forty feet from where the wrecked plane stopped, and directly in its path, is a temporary structure used to store dynamite by a contractor who is sinking a new coal mine shaft. The shed contained 2,000 pounds of dynamite, and had the plane crashed into the shed, it is believed the loss of life would have been greater. GRAND LODGE APPOINTMENTS.

There was never a time when the ripe experience and combined wisdom of the members of our fraternity are more needed, especially when we are reminded that our country is being reconstructed along both international and national lines. Membership in some local bar and admission to practice in the highest courts of your State are the only prerequisites to membership in the National Negro Bar Association, and negro lawyers all over the country are urged to be present and to join. All attorneys who intend to be present should communicate with the president or secretary on or before August 17, 1921. Let us get together, stand together and work together. (Signed) BARRY W.

Charles Henry Brent, Bishop of Western New York, who was for a number of years Bishop of Hampton, in an address at Hampton, Virginia. "I feel that perhaps the greatest contribution America has made to the Philippines has been along the line of education — industrial, agricultural, and above all, moral. What, after all, is the good of education, unless we are able to use it to the advantage of the whole race? What is the good of education unless we are able to control our lives, our minds, our affections, and our bodies, so as to make this world a better world and to bring happiness to those with whom we come into contact? You are here to gather privileges in order that you may render good service. You are stewards. The principle of stewardship is written in the human heart. Even in such conditions as some of the people among whom I worked in the Philippine Islands we had some delicate and exquisite illustrations of this conviction of stewardship. "I have great belief in the American people. I have great belief in the colored people.
