THE RICHMOND PLANET VOLUME XXXIX, NO. 12 RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 28, 1922 PRICE PROF. MOORE WAXES SARCASTIC PROF. MOORE WAXES SARCASTIC Ho Criticises Virginians—Secs Danger in Southern Charters. United States of America. Dear Sir;—Many persons wonder why I should give so much attention to the Planet and its editor? Well, I suppose that it would be better to form you as well them and we all may profit from it together. Sir, it is the coloured people themselves that caused so much of this Hell, between the races. From my personal experiences, they were mostly Virginians, though they lived in other parts. They first submit to all that the white people propose, whether right or wrong and they try to help the whites to compel other coloured people to do the same. If they are questioned, they refer to the great progress they make in Virginia, etc. A very great part of such stupidity is propagated in the A. M. E. Zion Church. That church was never African; nor was it conceived by the African people. It is an American organization and it is designed to play the devil with civilization through the ignorant ambition of its leaders with their own people the greatest losers. In other parts of the country where coloured people do not wish to coerce to such propagation; their is generally a great killing among them. It is the Virginia coloured people, who, without investigation condemn their own race in other parts. Their is always some anti-white man organization coming out from Richmond, Va. With white men practically directing the whole affair, by it being chartered in the State of Va. So to begin with the other colored people should know that neither the white people of Virginia nor any other part of the country are going to grant charters to coloured people, which might injure the interests of the Southern white people. Now, to check this blunder among the coloured people of Virginia means the salvation of the rights of coloured people in the entire country. Did not Booker T. Washington, W. W. Prowne, W. L. Taylor and even R. R. Notman belong to Virginia? Despite the colony which their clandefined work has brought to the race, We have, here now, a new colonization born in the West before trying to propagate the separation of the races here under the auspices of the A. W. E. Zion Church. Instead of preaching the freedom of Christ's church to all man kind. Begin all over to be real Americans and fight for those principles and all true men will respect and help you. Let the coloured people every where learn to compete with white people upon an equal base, before they think of exceeding them. Now that Garvey business is no better and it will prove disastrous to the race, when he will retire to privacy with full pockets. But it will not do him so much good as if he had earned much less by honest competition. Where is Chief Sam, the African Prince? The American coloured people will probably learn sense some day. Y. W. C. A. NOTES. The excellent program rendered at Vesper Services on last Sunday was enjoyed by all who attended, Mrs. Mary E. Carter in a very splendid address showed how the Young Womens Christian Association was developing growth in Christian character and service by its fourfold training of girls and women. That in its program for the development of the best type of womanhood the "Y" considered that the girl must be trained physically, mentally, socially and spiritually. That if she was not so trained it unfitted her for rendering the best service to God and humanity. The vocal solo by Dr. R. O. Mundin was highly appreciated. Miss Adela P. Ruffin, Field Secretary was present and in her remarks emphasized the need of studying and understanding the purpose of the Association and the grave responsibility that rests upon our women to accept and interpret this purpose to the community. On Sunday the third and last part of the purpose "To become a social force for the extension of the Kingdom of God" will be discussed by Dr. Besie R. Tharps. Among the musical numbers will be a vocal solo by Miss Eva Coleman and Jubilee songs led by Misses Mildred and Louise Johnson. We are inviting all women and girls to register in the classes in Physical Education and Recreation to be conducted by Miss Chayda J. Williams of the National Staff, from February 6th to March 2nd. We want 100 women to register in these classes. Fee for adults $1.00; for girls 28 cents. HOLDS CONFERENCE WITH PRESIDENT HARDING. Congressman C.

The conductors and motormen of the Virginia Passenger and Power Company, which operates the streetcars in $i$ this city went on a strike Monday, January 16th, and this also involved the cities of Norfolk, Portsmouth, and was intended to include Petersburg, Va. But the latter city was not affected due to the foet that the men decided to go out. The tie-up in Richmond was well-nigh complete, but the company gave the men until Thursday night, 19th inst., to return to their posts. They failed to do this. In the meantime, the laboring elements were seriously inconvenienced. Even teachers in the public schools were affected FINE JITNEY SERVICE The fitney service was admirable, so far as white folks are concerned, but as these means of convenience have not been and are not now available to colored people, an embarrassing problem was presented, which was partly met by the street car employees operating fitneys themselves. In these, they had colored people as well as white. The street-car company succeeds in getting a limited number of street-cars in motion, but these were late in coming out. They were boycotted at first, but later people began to use them. HAULING COLORED FOLKS Standing on a corner at Third and Third and Broad streets, Friday morning 20th inst., were two colored women, the filmmakers, no stop to carry them to the West End. They stood there for some time, when a car with no jifney sign or license stopped and the white chauffeur knocked where they wanted to go. They tol dhim and he piloted them in with the other passengers, even taking a colored man on the running board of the car. It must have been one of the cars operated by the striking carmen themselves. They understood that they must take care of the travelling public regardless of color. Now, it is possible to get from South Richmond in a jitney and gradually the others are hauling colored people the same way. Another underlying cause is that white people have been seriously inconvenienced by not being able to secure servant help on time, and this has been reacting against the striking carmen. The outlook for peace is not bright, although many professors to see a chance of bringing matter to a condition where the strike will end satisfactory to both parties to the controversy. --- Mrs. Lolia Scott, of Swansboro is convalescing after a serious operation at St. Philips Hospital.

Curtious Crowds Bjurred at Triol of Boy Who Killed Two Policemen New York, Jan. 23.—After a day of interrogation of seventy-one talesmen in a court room barricaded by benches and guarded inside and out by detectives, uniformed policemen and deputy sheriffs, a jury was obtained yesterday afternoon in the criminal branch on the Supreme Court for the trial of Luther Boddy, colored who shot and killed two detectives. Although the end of the trial may mean a few solemn words condemning him to death in the electric chair, Boddy appeared more interested than unacety at the spectacle of which he was the center. He mained solenity, sitting motionless among his lawyers, occasionally answering a whispered question and rising promptly at the poke of a finger to control each juryman who took the oath. At the end of the day, some minutes after 5, when Justice leader Wasservogel adjourned court, Boddy apparently considered formality at an end. He grinned broadly back at his wife, moth er and other relatives seated with colored people on two rows of benches and shook one hand in the other with great vigor. PROSECUTION OPENS TODAY He then was led, closely guarded, over the Bridge of Sighs to the Tombes. When he passes over the bridge again this morning it will be to hear District Attorney Benton demand his life for the murder of Detective Sergeant Pauls J. Buckley, Mr. Benton believes he can present the State's case against Boddy in a single day but that of the defense, which is led by Morris Keenan, former judge probably will take several days. Two hours before the trial began, curiosity seekers filtered into the Criminal Courts Building and by 10 o'clock a call was sent for the reserves of the Elizabeth street station. They were badly needed to keep passageways clear. In the crowd were many colored people, including representatives of various societies and publications of the race and more than a sprinkling of policemen off duty. The sight for most of those present was the passage of Boddy from the Bridge of Sighs along the mezzanine floor of the Criminal Courts Building and down a flight, of stairs into the courtroom. He was chased in a brown overcoat, a new brown suit, silk shirt and highly polished shoes and over shadowed those guarding him. The curious pressed forward, but made no den stenation. That, for most of those present was all that was to be seen, for none except those with business in the courtroom were admitted. Benches were placed so that no one could approach within twenty or thirty feet of the court except by one narrow foot. Police and court attendants clustered about the door. Before the selection of jurors, Mr. Koenig made an effort to obtain a postponement, because of the shortness of time since he and Herman Hoffman and Frank Aranow were assigned to the defense. He also pleaded that there was an atmosphere of hostility against Boddy as the result of the newspaper comments, expressions by public officials and the killing of Policeman Motz by the colored man Whalley. "It has developed that members of the defendant's family on his mother's side were in Insane asylums in various parts of the country," Mr. Koenig said in pleading for more time in which to get evidence. He said he had information that an annot of Boddy died in an insane asylum in Maryland and another member of the family is in an insane asylum in New Jersey. In opposing the motion for postpone ment District Attorney Banton said eleven or twelve days were sufficient to prepare a defense. He added that he had arranged with one of Boddy's lawyers to get into communication by long distance telephone with an insane asylum to have representatives in court with records. Justice Wasservogel over ruled Mr. Koenig's motion. WAY MADE FOR INSANITY PLEA In examining the talesmen the Bed (Continued on Second Page.) BRUCE GRIT WANTS TO KNOW. A Sarcastic Reference to the Brazil Correspondent—Resents Criticism of the Hon. Marcus Garvey. 260 West 136 Street. New York City, N. Y. January 18, 1922. Hon. J. J. Mitchell, F. F. Torr The Planet, Richmond, Virginia. Dear Sir—For a number of years, I have been seeing, but not reading in their entirety, the outgivings of a self expatriated American Negro and a correspondent of the Planet who is located somewhere in Brazil, and who calls himself "Professor" I. B. Moore. Thus man has wasted considerable of his time and reams of good white paper criticising men and things in the United States about whom he seems to know as little as a 3 year old. His latest eruption in the Planet, directed against the Universal Negro Improvement Association and its President, Honorable Marcus Garvey, is about as silly in utterance and as bungling in form as are most of his learned distribs on subject which he does not understand as is clearly shown by his erude, ignorant and garrulous discussion of them. This same Professor, some years ago, when I lived at Yonkers, used to bomb a bard me with his egotistic effusions from Babia, Brazil, and after I read the first installment of his biography imbubitions, I invariably conceived his subsequent installments to my collection, waste-basket. His comments on the U. N. L. A. and Marus Garvey in the Plimnet of the 14th in that will have about as much effect as the born of a Pekinese directed at the moon. Who is this Professor Moore anymore? And from what College or University did he get his title? Or, is he just a corn Doctor or barr or, expert guitar player calling himself Professor MR. GROVER C. GRANT. Spokesman for the Woodmen in Va. As an evidence of appreciation for the remarkable progress the old American Woodmen are making in the city of Richmond and in the State of Virginia under the constructive leadership of Mr. Grover C. Grant, Richmond Camp, No. I gave him on last Thursday night at St. Luke Hall an invaluable gift. This gift was presented by the Camp through Mr. A. B. Jones, 506 N. Fifth Street, with fitting and eloquent remarks. A large and enthusiastic crowd witnessed the performance. Partner Wanted. Wanted a Partner in the newspaper business. Publication 15 years old.

We will also speak of the great work being done by Mistresses Hattie Hackett and Rebecca Fleming field workers of the T. E. L. Bible Class of the School 11:30 A. M. we listened to a very helpful sermon by our pastor and every one went away rejoicing in the God of their Salvation. Three members were added to the church. 3:30 P. M. there was a grand sacred concert given by the Williams Orchestra. It is a rare treat to hear then especially those who have a good taste for music. 8:30 P. M. our pastor preached another or strong gospel sermon, using as his theme "Daniel in the Lion's Den." My brother and sister you ought to have been there and heard for yourself. Tomorrow morning our pastor will preach from the subject: "The Bed too Short." Let us come early and enter really into the services. There will be a sacred concert at the church 3:30 P.

It was related among the ancient'c Greeks that a man named Prometheus so provoked the gods by his unholy abstinition to be their equal that they chain him to a rattle toy and save a vulture to know eternally at his heart. "The Emperor Jones," playing this week at the Shubert-Michigan theater the tragedy of a Negro who aspired to equal the rascality taught him by whites, has some of the grandeur, the heroic proportions and pathos of that Hellenic legend. It is weird and ghastly play; not a pleasant one, yet one tremendously worth seeing. Once seen it will not be forgotten easily. Its settings are done with high artistry by Cleon Throck morton of the Provincetown Playwright who are presenting it. Its protagonist Brutus Jones is acted marvelously by a colored man, Charles S. Gilpin. The picture of that superstition for tured black man is fairly burned, scared as with a hot iron upon the brushes of his audience. Whether it penguates to their hearts probably depends on their individual racial viewpoints. The play is by Eugene O'Neill, one of America's foremost serious playwrights. In a larger sense, it is not the tragedy of Brustus Jones alone part of the tragedy his race in America is snatched but recently from savery only to be molded by mal-treatment. The story is brief. Brutus Jones, an ex-porter on a Polish man car, who killed a fellow Negro for shooting loaded dice; an ex-convict, who killed a white guard for beating him; escaped from prison, has found his way to a West Indian island. Thereafter a brief partnership with a re-agreed British trader by playing up in the superstition of the natives, are made, himself emperor. He robbed the natives to the almost planning a getaway with wealth when he sees them ready to rob. He overstays his time, and is forced to free their wrath through a black forest. In the forest, such bits of civilization as he has picked up in the United States fall away from him as his neryes are preyed upon by the primitivist terrors of the night by the insults beating or the four-tone drum which indicates that he is being hunted for death; by ghosts of the men he has killed; by visions of the slaveblock, of which to be, he is held in hand; by dreaming him off in the hold of a slave ship; by seeing a wizard to with an alligator rod. The builds with which he has lived his receiver to repel his enemies are all fired in plumages, the come-lost in his rattle their and him, in a circle back to the muzzles of his nurseries' rifles. He is slain with slurbless bells, having impressed upon the natives that leader ones will not be born blind. This bare outline of the story will scarcely indicate the tenure drama in the play. The house is darkened from the time his flight begins; all the scenes thereafter are in semi-light or darkness; the monotonous beat of the tom-tom sounds throughout. The air is charged with suspense. Bad as he is, Jones holds the sympathy of those who behold his sufferings. He is so much better than the despicable white trader played admirably by Cecil Clovelly. Flashes of the humour which have lightened the darkest days of Negro life, make Jones humanly apt pealing. Gilpin plays practically the eerie drama alone. A a curtain raises, the Provinces town Players give a comedy in two scenes, "Suppressed Dores," based on the recent rage of psychoanalysis, very amusing.

Curious Crowds Bared at Trial of Boy Who Killed Two Policemen New York, Jan. 23. After a day of interrogation of seventy-one taleemens in a court room barricaded by benches and guarded inside and out by detectives, uniformed policemen and deputy sheriff confronted yesterday afternoon in the criminal branch of the Supreme Court for the trial of Luther Boddy, colored who shot and killed two detectives. Although the end of the trial may mean a few solemn words condemning him to death in the electric chair, Boddy appeared more interested than uneasy at the spectacle of which he was the center. He mained solently, sitting motionless among his lawyers, accusing him of whispering a quiescent and rising promptly at the poke of a finger to contort each jerseyman who took the oath. At the end of the day, some minutes after 5, when Justice Isador Wasservogel adjourned court, Boddy apparently considered formality at an end. He grinned broadly hack at his wife, moth-ing relatives seated with colored people in two rows of benches and shook one hand in the other with great vigor. PROSECUTION OPENS TODAY He then was led, closely guarden, over the Bridge of Sighs to the Tombs. When he passes over the bridge again this morning it will be to hear District Attorney Banton demand his life for the murder of Detective Sergent Francis J. Buckley. Mr. Banton believes he can present the State's case against Boddy in a single day but that of the defense which is led by Morris Koenig, former judge probably will take several days. Two hours before the trial began, curiosity seekers filtered into the Criminal Justice Building and by 10 o'clock a call was made to the reserves of the Elizabeth street jail. They were badly needed to keep passers clear. In the crowd were many colored people, including representatives of various societies and publications of the race and more than a sprinkling of policemen off duty. The sight for most of those present was the passage of Boddy from the Bridge of Sighs along the mezzanine floor of the Criminal Courts Building and down a flight of stairs into the courtroom. He was clad in a brown overcoat, a new brown suit, silk shirt high, polished shoes and over shaded those guarding him. The curious pressed ones had made no denunciation. That, for a moment present was all that was to be seen, for none except those with business in the courtroom were admitted. Benches were placed so that no one could approach within twenty or thirty feet of the court except by one narrow path. Police and court attendants clustered about the door. Before the selection of jurors Koenig made an effort to obtain a postponement, because of the shortness of time since he and Herman Hoffman, Frank Aranow were assigned to the court. He also pleaded that there was an atmosphere of utility against Boddy as the result of the newspaper comments, expressions by public officials and the killing of Policeman Motz by the colored man Whaley. "It has developed that members of the defendant's family on his mother's side were in insane asylums in various parts of the country," Mr. Koenig said in pleading for more time in which to get evidence. He said he had information that an aunt of Boddy died in an insane asylum in Maryland and another member of the family is in an insane asylum in New Jersey. In opposing the motion for postpone ment District Attorney Banton said eleven or twelve days were sufficient to prepare a defense. He added that he had arranged with one of Boddy's lawyers to get into communication by long distance telephone with an insane asylum to have representatives in court with records. Justice Wasservogel overruled Mr. Koenig's motion. WAY MADE FOR INSANITY PLEA In examining the talienee the Bed (Continued on Second Page.) A Sarcastic Traffence to the Brazilian Honor of the Hon. Marcus Greyvoy 260 West 136 Street, New York City, N. Y. January 18, 1822 Hon. J. John Mitchell, Editor The Planet, Rhobham, Virginia. Dear Sir—For a number of years, I have been soeing, but not reading in their entirety, the outgivings of a self expatriated American Negro and a coworker of the Planet who is located somewhere in Brazil, and who叫e himself "Professor" I. B. Moore. This man has wasted considerable of his time and reams of good white paper criticising men and things in the United States about whom he seems to know as刻 as a 3 year old. His latest creation in the Planet, directed against the Univellar Negro Impairment Association and its Prodeminent Honorable Marcus Gurvey, is about usually in utterance and as bungling in form as are most of his learned distribs on subject which he does not understand as is clearly shown by his crude, ignorant and garrulous discussion of them. This same Professor, some years ago when I lived at Yonkers, used to bombard me with his egotistic effusions from Bahia, Brazil, and after I read the first installment of his chirurgical inanities, I invariably consigned his subsequent instalments to my capacious waste-basket. His comments on the U. N. I. A., and Marne Garvey in the Planet of the 14th century, will have the effect as the barb of a Pokemon directive. Who is this Professor Moore anyhow? And from what Collige or University did he get his title? Or, is he just a corn Doctor or barter, or expert guitar player calling himself Professor. Yours sincerely. —BRUCE GRIT. MR. GROVER C.

ZION NOTES The pastor is urging the congregation to be on time at every service of the church. This will enable us to get out earlier, thus working for the convenience of both. A general survey of the entire community has begun and each participant of this work is asked to make as thorough an examination of his block as possible. We are looking forward to a great revival in the next month and this good work, is essential to make these meetings as great a success as we are antiflatating. Even those that are not captains of the various blocks are able to make themselves individual committees, sawing out those that are delinquent or not connected with any church of this city needing them to regird themselves and complete the march up the King's highway.

RACE - COUNTRY - WORLD NEWS PRICE, FIVE CENTS GILPIN A MARVEL IN FANTASTIC TRAGEDY, "THE EMPEROR JONES." It was related among the apocrylic Greeks that a man named Prometheus so provoked the gods by his unholy and biont to be their equal that they chain ed him to a rocky cliff and a vulture to know eternally at his heart. "the Emperor Jones," playing this week at the Shubort-Michigan theater the tragedy of a Negro who aspired to equal the rascism taught him by whites, has some of the grandeur, the heroic proportions and paths of that Hellenic legend. It is weird and ghostly play: not a plight one, but one tremendously worthong. Once seen it will not be forgotten. Its settings are done with high artistry by Cleon Throckmorton of the Prowow-down Players who are presenting it. It is logistical Brutus Jones is acted marvelously by a colored man, Charles S. Qilpin. The picture of that superstition for tured black man is fairly burned, scarred as with a hot iron upon the bruns of his audience. Whether it penguates to their hearts probably depends on their individual racial viewpoints. The play is by Eugene O'Neill, one of the american foremost serious playwrights; a larger sense, it is not the tragedy of Brutus Jones alone unpart of the tragedy is in America snatched but recently from sargery on to be molded by mal-treatment. The story in brief Brutus Jones, an ox-porter on a Paul man car, who killed a fellow Negro for shooting loaded dice; an ox-covplet, who killed a white guard for beating him; escaped from prison, has found his way to a West Indian island. There is brief partnership with a reacute gudgeon under by playing upon the superstitious of the natives, he hides blissful emperor. He has robed the natives to the almost planning a getaway with wealth when he sees them ready to rebel. He overstays his time, and is forced to flee their wrath through a black forest. In the forest, such bits of civilization as he has picked up in the United States fall away from him as his nerves are preyed upon by the primitive terrors of the night by the incessant beating or the tom-tom drum which in death that he is being hunted for; by the men he has killed; by visions of the hawk-block, of which he has been told childhood, by dreaming himself in the hold of a shave ship; by seeing a whitch-doer with an alligator god. The bullets with which he has joined his revolver to repel his pursuers are all fired at phantoms. He becomes lost in his frantle flight and runs in a circle back to the muzzles of his pursuers' rifles. He is slain with silver bullets, having impressed upon the native that leader ones will not harm him. He dare outline of the story will scarely indicate to the tense drama in the play. The house, unkempt from the time his flight begins, scenes thereafter are in semilight or darkness; the monotonous beat of the tom-tom sounds throughout. The air is charged with suspense. Bad as he is, Jones holds the sympathy of those who behold his sufferings. He is so much better than the despicable white trader played admirably by Cecil Clovely. Flashes of the humour which have lightened the darkest days of Negro life, make Jones humanly appealing. Gilpin plays practically the evil drama alone, raises, the Provincetown Players give a comedy in two scenes, "Supressed Desires," based on the recent rage of psychoanalysis, very amusing.

Borah and the Democrat Make Bitter Attacks on Final Resolution to Dismiss, Ford Contest and Uphold Michigan Senator—Vote is Recorded Four Times Without a Change. For the thirteenth time since the establishment of the Government the United States Senate today passed judgment on the dress of the representative of a State to hold a seat in that body. By a vote of 46 to 41, recorded four times without a single change, Truman H. Newberry, accused of having been corrupted elected a Senator from the State of Michigan, was declared to be entitled to sit with the other members of the body. The decision of the Senate, which was rendered under dramatic and at times exciting circumstances, was couched in phrases so to impire Senator Borah to the office of Mr. Newberry's opponents to characterize the result of the indorsement as "a brand of shame." The statement of the Idaho Senator was provoked by the resolution soating Mr. Newberry which was perfected by an amendment offered by Senator Willis of Ohio. The resolution read: "1. That the contest of Henry Ford against Truman H. Newberry be it is hereby dismissed. 2. That Truman H. Newberry is here by decision. 3. He finally elected Senator from the State of Michigan for term of six years commencing on the fourth day of March 1918, and is entitled to hold his seat in the Senate of the United States. 3. That whether the amount expended in this (Michigan) primary was $155,000 as was fully reported, or openly acknowledged, or whether there was some few thousand dollars in excess, the amount expended was in either or case too large, much larger than ought to have been expended. The ex penitence of such excessive sums in half of a candidate either with or with out his knowledge and consent being consent being contrary to sound public policy, harmful to the honor and dignity of the Senate and dangerous to the perpetuity of a free government, such excessive expenditures are here by severely condemned and disapproved. The vote by which the seating of Mr. Nowberry was accomplished developed many unusual features. The forty-one Senators who voted down the three resolutions that would have expelled him from the Senate were all Republicans. Of the forty-one votes against him nine were cast by Republicans and thirty-two by Democrats. Five Progressive Republicans who were counted on to accomplish the rejection of Mr. Newbery voted for him. They were Senator Lencroot (Wis.) Wills, Oblo.) McNary (Ore.) Poindexter (Wash.) and Peppar, Pa.） Not since the declaration of war by the American Congress against the Imperial German Government has either branch of the national Congress provided a more fascinating play of Congressional emotions and dramatic fridences than those that led up to and cut short this afternoon over the Walsh motion declaring that Mr. Newbery had had his seat by corrupt methods and was not nailed to hold it. Popular interest in the controversy precipitated by the aggressive attempt of Henry Ford, the motor car manufacturer, to oppose Mr. Newbery for the Senate was shown by the crowded galleries and a fairly large attendance from the House of Representatives. During the seven hours of debate that ended the sensational contest brought Mr. Ford more than forty Senators participated and some pretty strong language was used by both sides. Right up to the calling of the roll on the test proposal the supporters of Mr. Nowberry manifested the greatest uneasiness. They were especially concern regarding the final conclusions of Senators Willis, McNary, Poindexter, Pepper and Lennor. The Ohio Senator who furnished the halls for a party agreement over Mr. Newberry was expected to join with the progressors who resolutely resisted appeals from the White House to vote for the Michigan Senator, Mr. Willis, frankly admitted he had received a letter signed by thirty-three pupils of Cleveland public school urging him to vote against Mr. Nowberry "because those who buy votes are not fit to be Senators." The appeal of the Cleveland school children urged Mr. Willis to read a poem entitled "The Soul Goes Marching On." recently published in a magazine. Before Mr. Willis offered his amendment to Senator Spencer's resolution seating Mr. Newberry he spent some time with the President at the White House on patronage matters. The other day the President took occasion to express his belief in Mr. Newberry's integrity. DEMOCRATS SEEK DELAY While the supporters of Mr. Newberry were conferring over the Spencer resolution and the Willis amendment, the Democratic Senators were attempting to secure support of a proposition to turn the Newberry case back to a committee with instruction to continue the investigation. Some of the Democratic Senators expressed the opinion during the debate that Mr. Newberry should be subjected to the most searching interrogation concerning some of the statements he made in his address to the Senate on Monday. This proposition did not find favor. Decoratril Senators, probably realizing their fight to oust Mr. Newberry was not then attempted to delay the vote, the hope some of their progressive Republican colleagues who had shown signs of wrobbing, would come over to their side of the house and help out. So closely was the vote checked up that both the supporters and opponents of Mr. Newberry admitted his fate rested with three Republican Senators. There were always forty-one votes against him. His opponents declared if Senators Willis, McNary and Pepper would indicate their disapproval of the circumstances which won the Senate seat for Mr. Newberry, he would be deprived of it. The votes of these three Senators added to the forty-one would have ex-polled Mr. Newberry by one vote. Senator Pepper successor of Mr. Penrose, was subjected to a great deal of presure. The final debate regarding Mr. Newberry's right to represent Michigan in the Senate was both brilliant and sharp. The Democratic program applied to the question on political consideration and the opinion was expressed by even some of Mr. Newberry's supporters that the partisan aspect with which Democratic argument was tinged probably strengthened one or two of the Republican Senators who had been wavering. Some of the Democratic Senators used forcible language. In scouting at Mr. Newberry's assertion he had provided his patriotism by entering the navy during the war Senator Heflin (Ala.'s declaration) was instead of proving him soft a friend of his country Newberry was an enemy and a contemptible scoundrel." Other Democratic Senators appealed to their Republican colleagues of past Progressive tendencies to vote to keep Mr. Newberry out of the Senate. An appeal of this sort directed by Mr. Harrison to Mr. Nelson of Minnesota would heap admonition "you let the Senator from Texas own decision. He does not need any instructions from the Senator from Mississippi." SBCOND "MADE IN RICHMOND EXPOSITION, Preparations for the entertainment of 15,000 colored people, the number which it is estimated will attend the Second Made in Richmond Exposition, which will be held at the Grays Armory during the week of February 20, 2014 now nearly complete, according to an announcement which has just been made by B. T. Harrison, chairman of the Exposition, through F. M. Runnels, the secretary. The sub-committee on tickets has recommended that the afternoon of Thursday, February 23rd, be set aside exclusively for the entertainment of the colored population of the city. "If every man, woman and child in the city had made it a point to ask for Richmond made products during the last year there would have been no unemployment in the city, F. M. Runnels secretary of the Exposition said in interview. Exposition was for the purpose of getting everyone to buy local made goods, and thus insure work for everybody. "The trouble is that people here buy things made in Chicago, or somewhere else, sending their money away to build up some other community, helping to make it happen, and helping keep everyone buying." Mr. Runnels also announced that any colored man or woman who wants to visit the exposition can get a compilé monetary ticket from him by writing, or coming, and asking for it. Tickets be so sold when the exposition opens, or be procured free by asking for them now. CHICAGO NOTES. Mme. Annett White is touring the south in song recital in interest of Fisk University, Mme.
