Seventeen Republicans joined 192 Democrats in voting in the opposition while eight Democrats and one Socialist (London, of New York) voted with 221 Republicans in favor of the measure. Republicans who voted in the negative were: Parbour, California; Brown Tennessee; Clouse, Tennessee; Curry California; French, Idaho; Herrick Oklahoma; Hersey, Maine; Jones Pennsylvania; Kelley, Michigan; Layton, Delaware; Lace, Massachusetts; Nolan, California; Parker, New Jersey Robertson, Oklahoma; Sinnott, Oregon; Slemp, Virginia; Stanford, Wisconsin. EIGHT DEMOCRATS FOR BILL Democrats who voted in the affirmative were; Campbell, Pennsylvania, Cochran, New York; Cullen, New York; Gallivan, Massachusetts; Johnson, Kentucky; Mead, New York; O'Brien, New Jersey; Reiney, Illinois. The bill provides life imprisonment for lesser penalties for persons who participate in lynchings and for State county and municipal officials who fail through intelligence to prevent them. The measure also stipulates that the county in which mobs form or kill any one shall forfeit $10,000 to the families of the victim. Democratic opponents of the bill, deafened in attempts to recommit it to the Judiciary Committee and to strike out the enacting clause, made no concerted effort to have amendments adopted. They declared "the vicious principle of the bill" could not be changed by amendments, but expressed confidence that the measure never would receive Senate approval. AMENDMENTS REJECTED Except for a few perfecting amendments offered by Chairman Volstead of the Judiciary Committee, amendments proposed by individuals were rejected. One by Representative French, Republ Ecan, Ohio would have eliminated the provision requiring counties to forfeit $10,000 to families of mob victims. One committee amendment approved removed from the bill the requirement that counties through which a mob passed should pay a $10,000 penalty. DEFINES THEEE PERSONS AS MORE Another one accepted defined a mob as three or more persons acting together or to take human life illegally. The bill originally defined a mob as five or more persons acting together. During debate, which continued intermittently for a month, opponents of the measure declared it would be an unconstitutional invasion of State rights and would have a tendency to increase rather than decrease, lynchings. They also charged that Republicans were supporting the proposal for political reasons. Proponents, however, contended that States, especially in the South, had failed to handle the situation and that to afford all races protection guaranteed them under the Federal Constitution it was necessary for the Federal government to take a hand.

Its seeks to teach one not only a community spirit but a spirit of world wide brotherhood and service. The annual membership meeting was held on last Wednesday evening. The Committee of Management for this year was elected. The new By-Laws were read by the Recording Secretary for the information of the membership. Twenty-four memberships including several renewals were reported. After the business meeting, the Recognition Service was held. Each member present pledged herself ready and willing to serve the Association in whatever way she could best do so for the coming year. Miss McFall made a short talk on the New Spirit in Membership showing how membership now meant not what one gets from but what service one renders to the "Y." The social hour was very much enjoyed which mentions served. At the Vosper hour on Sunday after noon at 5 o'clock Mr. G. N. Lew will be the speaker. Special music will be rendered.

Miami Jan. 25. - Guarded by an escort of police six members of a colored orchestra employed at a tourist hotel here were taken today to a northern suburb and placed on a train bound for their homes in Columbus Ohio. The museums last night were lured to the outskirts of the city and beaten by a mob and warned, the orchestra members said, to leave Miami within four hours. Some of their instruments were destroyed. Several complaints had been made to the police that the orchestra had no conducted themselves in accordance with Southern customs, had sought to mingle with white persons in the parks and at entertainments and that the leader of the orchestra on one occasion left his place with the orchestra and stepped on the floor to direct a new dance. CLAIM COLORED MAJOR SHOT SOLDIER IN FRANCE. Witness Says Officer Fired at Soldier Who Refused to Cut Bread. --- Washington, D.C., Jan. 25. - Resuming its inquiry into charges of alleged illegal executors of Adee. Alan soldiers overseas, the special Senate investigating committee was told today by Henry Gentry, colored of Lawrence, Kan., that in France he saw Major Joseph Phillips of Orange, N. J., colored short William Patterson, a colored private for refusing to help a cook eat bread. Gentry, who testified while an ambulance waited outside the Senate office building to give him to a hospital, to be operated on for appendicitis, said Patterson later died, according to get, oral reports and that so far as he knew the colored major was not tried. "Do you know of your own knowledge that Patterson died?" Gentry was asked. "No sir, but he went to the hospital and never came back." TRIED BY COURT-MARTIAL The haunting of a colored soldier at Bellville, France, was described by Col. James P. Barney of the Army War College who said the court-martial was composed of seven colored and five white officers with a colored officer as Judge advocate. The soldier was convicted of assaulting a French woman, sixty years old, he said. Testimony of Charles P. Green, a former service man, previously heard by the committee that nine soldiers were shot and killed by the military police and taken to Base Hospital No. 9, at Chateau Roux in December 1918, was denied by three medical officers on duty at the hospital at the time. The witnesses, Des. James P. Erskine and Richard Stephens of New York city, and Dr. Donald E. McKenna of Brooklyn were positive in asserting that no bodies of men murdered were sent to the hospital. A number of men stationed at Issu Tile in 1919 were called to testify as to executions at that post, which War Department reports showed to have numbered two, but which some witnesses appearing heretofore have placed at about "ten or twelve." John McBemeret of Indianapolis, Rus sol c. Young of Philadelphia, James W. Brown of Lynbrook N. Y., and Walter A. McAfee of Cooper Hill, Tenn, declared only two soldiers were hanged there—a white man and a coated ogo—and all insisted they heard no report of "wholesale executions." Senator Watson, Georgia brought out that the witnesses testifying as to Issur-Tile had written members of the committee expressing a desire to be heard. James W. Loffity of New York City who as a captain in the Quarter-mas ter's Corps was stationed at Gleves for nearly two years testified there was only one execution in that area as listed by the War Department. Descriptive discipline at Gleves as good, Loffity said there was a lot of talk and feeling after an assistant secretary of War whom he identified as "Mr. Rosenwald had made a speech in which he asserted that colored soldiers would be given better treatment after the war. "The white troops were so bitter about the speech that some of them felt like lynching Rosenwald," said the witness. --- Mr. W. H.

Oklahoma City, Jan. 24. — Five self confessed members of the party that lynched Jake Brooks, colored packet worker on January 14 were sentenced to serve the terms at hard labor in the State penitentiary in McAlester ware, they pleaded guilty today before Jurga James L. Phelps in District Court. The five are Lee Whitley, 29; Charles Poik, 19; Emmer Yearta, 19; all white and Robert Alien 27, cousin of the lynched man, and Nathan Butler 40 both colored. Whitley and Yearta are members of the Butcher Workmen's Union which is on strike here and Polk is admitted lly a union sympathizer. Brooks the man lynched, was a nonunion packing house worker. Robert McAllister and J. V. Harris, the remaining two men under arrest here for alleged complicity in the lynching are planning to fight the murder charge. The other two alleged members of the band are John Yearta, brother of Elmer Yearta now said to be in Arkansas and Oscar Smith now under arrest in Mort, Montana county, Texas where one of Sherie B. Dane's deputies has gone to bring him to this city. All the men declared they merely stood by while the colored man was strung up. None of them admitted having a hand on the rope or going to the place with the intention of taking a life. "I do not think these boys had mis- der in their hearts when they went out there," the County Attorney said. On account of their youth and for the fur- ther reason they may be of assistance to the State later on I make the reco- mendation they be given life sentences. Each of the men stated he did not know whether the union officials knew anything about the intention or acts of the men in lynching Brooks. Judge Felds took particular pain to ask the men if they had any inten- tion of lynching Brooks when they took him from his home. They all said they understood they were going to a dance where a number of non-union men were said to be and start a fight. Even after Brooks was in the car they believed, they said they were taking him out to tell him not to go back to work and possibly to whip him. FULTON NOTES.

The Republican National Committee, the highest republican authority acting between convention, is composed of forty-eight members—one member from each state and territory. Each of these members is consulted about the distribution of potatoe in their states. In the Committeeman Ufofa S. states. In the states that have republican senators and congressmen, the National Committeeman act in harmony and with the advice and consent of his senators and representatives in Congress. In those states represented by democratic senators and congressmen, the National Committeeman acts with his state organization and has the final word in recommendations to the President for the distribution of potatoe age in his own state. Mr. Johnson is the lone Negro member of the Committee, representing the tree million people throughout the nation and has the most potential following behind him of any National Committeeman. Yet he alone is distrised, the administration recognizing the recommendations of every other National Committeeman except Mr. Johnson. Mr. Johnson being colored and the other forty-seven white, the American people, regardless of color, cannot escape the conclusion that the President has disfranchised Mr. Johnson because of his race, and previous condition of servitude. The country may not know, but it ought to know, that Mr. Johnson has no influence at the White House, despite the fact that he is National Committee elected by the same Nation, at Convention that nominated the President; despite the fact that he has the regular organization of his state at his back said organization having been stamped as regular by the same convention in 1920 that nominated the President; despite the fact that he represents thirteen million people who cost six million dollars distributed throughout the country and without whose united support the republic can neither win congress nor a president. Mr. Johnson has not enough influence to hand a single appointment for a constituent or himself. It is universally understood that Mr. Johnson is persona non grata at the White House; despite the fact that Mr. Johnson rendered a greater service by reason of the group he represented to bring about the election of the present administration, than any other one individed in America, he has no influence with the administration. He is literally disfranchised, afraid to go to the White House and without an audience with the Chairman of the Nation Committee of which he is a member. The country is entitled to know the reasons for this condition of affairs. Mr. Johnson owes it to his state and to his group to explain why he is so doquently silent under the handicap and ostracism placed upon him by titted dis (Continued on Page 2.) Card of Thanks.

PRICE, FIVE CENTS LUTHER BODDY SENT TO CHAIR FOR POLICE MURDER LAWYERS MAKE GREAT FIGHT FOR A MANSLAUGHTER VERDICT. New York, Jan. 30.—Luther Boddy was convicted last night of first degree murder for the killing of Detective-Sergeant Francis J. Buckley after the jury had deliberated for two hours and twenty minutes. He will be sentenced Friday by Justice Isadore Wasserweg in the Supreme Court. The verdict leaves no alternative penalty to death in the electric chair. Boddy also had killed Detective Sergeant William A. Miller but could be tried for only one murder at a time. He faced the jury with a smile and heard the verdict without changing countenance. He looked to the rear of the courtroom when his wife uttered a low moan and fell forward from her seat. She was carried out of the room by four court attendants. He again faced the court, resumed his smile of bravado and answered the questions put to him by the clerk of the court without a tremor in his voice. "MANSLAUGHTER" INDICATES Fifteen minutes before the foreman, William H. Wilson, dry goods deal at 340 West Forty-seventh street he delivered the verdict of guilty the jury had entered the court room to ask Justice Wanservold several questions not unique to degrees of murder and manslaughter. From the questions it appeared that the jury was considering a verdict of manslaughter. Baldy's face expressed extreme cheerfulness. During the entire day's trial Baldy was calm. He was nearly dressed in a blue erge suit, black necktie and had a brown derby hat and light brown overcoat on the table he de him. No once did he show the least sign of nervousness or discomfort. During a recess taken by the jury for supper he received coffee and wiches and cigarettes from his mother, wife and other relatives who sat during the trial in the rear of the court room. He smiled at them from his seat in the steel lined stone prison pen on the mezzanine floor of the Criminal Courts Building. After several puffs on a cigarette he said to those who stood about him: "Now I can listen to anything the jury has to say to me." MOTION FOR MISTRIAL DENIED The motion for a mistrial, made by Morris Koenig counsel for Roddy, just before adjournment last Friday, was denied by Justice Wasservogel on the opening of court. This motion was based on introduction of evidence by Jasper Rhodes colored policeman who accused the defendant of having shot him twice on December 19. Mr. Koenig said this established an independent crime and would prejudice the jury. Virtually the entire day was spent in summing up. Then Justice Wasser vonol spent two hours charging the jury which went out at 5:40 o'clock. Mr. Koenig in summing up said Bodydy was in fear of the police, due to previous persecution at their hands. The apology of the failure as an explosion of a diseased mind, saving: "The green lights of the police station were to this munt the eyeballs of a texture chamber. He shot in the horror of the thought of what he had before suffaced in such a place. Fear over attained his capacity to reason." He clobbed by asking the jury to return a verdict of not guilty. If they felt this to be impossible, he said, then it should not be murder in the first degree but madaughter. District Attorney Banton, present at the case in person, called attention to the intelligence and quick wit of the defendant. He said: "In all my experience in cross examination I have never met a keener intellect on the witness stand." COUNSEL FAILED TO BAR BODDY CONFESSION. New York, Jan. 24—In a day in which witness, after witness added to the burden of evidence against Luther Boddy, the twenty-two year old colored youth on trial for murder, in the Supreme Court, it became increasingly apparent that the only refuge of the slayer of the two detectives lay in the insanity plea. Of all the evidence adduced the most weighty was the dying statement of Detective Sergeant Francis J. M Buckley and the confession of Boddy made on the train from Philadelphia. Throughout the day in which the defense, even by the most vigorous cross-examination failed to score, Boddy sat motionless. Like a black statute, his head toward the bench.

The more lis utterances are pondered, the more isbrought to light a deeper meaning, but all of it is In accordance and in eon sonance with fundamental right prin- ciples. Ho proceeds to deal with a most delicate subject, not only iy, the HSouth, but in the North as well. Tt is the question of legal amalgamation of the races. The illegal amalgamation of this same elass of people has been £4 ing on for some time to the evident «lis gust of loyal Americans of African des cont everywhere. He says: Several years ago I appeared before the | House Committee to oppose a bill thon ‘pending forbidding inter-marriage 0 whites and Negroes in'the District ot Columbia. I find that my words used then are pertinent now: “If you let people alone, of thar own motion they do yot usually amalgamate. The Jew will marry a Jew, the Italian an Ttal- ian. the Wnglishman will marry on ]English woman, ‘This is so in the nat- ural course of things. Amalgamation of races isa slow and long process [when you leave people alone. If you want lo forbid intermarriage of races you must have jn mind this fundament al principle. It'makes no fundamental al efference in the long run whethor races are amalgamated legitimately or Megitimately.

Refuses to Hult, Disarms Suspicion Anchors in River All Night. The Hispanola, a 75 foot schooner, so heavily laden that even the smalt, choppiness of the harbor water kept her decks awash, came boldly into New York Harbor less than a month ago with 500 cases of Scotch and rye expertly packed within her seventy-five feet. She had come from West Eno, Grand Bahama, the western tip of the Bahama archipelago—the jumping off place for the deep sea booze runners to the United States. Her progress was slow. At best she can make no more than twelve miles an hour and with the water closing over her at every lurch at sea, she had been doing her worst. She was coming into the Narrows. It was an ideal night for it—startless, moonsless and accordingly black. She had never been in New York harbor be fore, but her navigator had. So had her engineer. Down upon the Hispaniola bore the harbor police boat. The latter hailed her and went without an answer. Then for it did not require extraordinary keenness to calculate that there was something queer about the Hispaniola; the mighty searchlights of the police boat concentrated upon the heavy laden stranger. The Hispaniola stood out in the glare like the Statute of Liberty TRIQ OF CREW WITH RECQED In addition to the 500 cases of whisky the Hispaniola bore a crew of five, and three of the quintet were wanted by the police. One had served three prison terms in the South for burglary and kindred activities and he was now wanted for bigamy and safe blowing. Another was sought for straight bigamy (If there can be straight bigamy) having married four trusting females under four names but in the same mule die-Alantic State. The third, was an ex-gentleman sought for embezzlement. Facts are backing on the fourth and fifth members of the crew. But this is told that it may be under stood that there was a general disposition on board the Hispanola to avoid conflict with the police. The situation was saved by the engineer, the captain being dumb with panic. The engineer raised his voice in protest. He umbellished his protest with profanity. The man relating this account of the affair to The New York Herald is of the opinion that no cop, a sea- or ashore, was ever thus categorized. The engineer cursed the police for an entire minute without a comeback and then came to his close thus: "You don't know nothing on land and you don't know nothing at sea. Anybody but a cop would know that it's against all marine law to turn a searchlight on a sloop like you're doing How the hell do you expect me to navigate this boat with that light blinded me. What's to prevent my running down some smaller bont or being rammed myself by abog buoy. Get to hell out of my way with that searchlight so's I can see to navigate this boat. If you trouble keep on, that's all. BLUFF at Police Works It worked. The engineer knew the law and so did the police. Notfitted that the navigator on the Hispaniola knew his business and wasn't nervous the police turned their boat away and made off. The whisky runner kept on taking to the East River and passing Blackwaters and a part or Wards Island until she come to her designated docking place the Recreation Pier off Thomas Jeterson Park, about the foot of East 112th street. In her current condition of alcoholism she was able to travel no faster than five or six miles an hour. She eased up to the pier in darkness only to be disappointed. Two small boats lay just off the pier and they contained members of the New York end of the combination of bootleggers controlling the Hispaniola. "Lay off, lay off!" they warned the skipper of the Hispaniola. "There's something doing. There are a dozen dicks on the pier and while we don't know what they know or whether they are looking for us we'd better take no chances. Can you go on to Long Island?" TOO MUCH RUM TO GO FAST "Do you know that we can't make more than five or six miles an hour loaded down like this?" demanded the skipper. "What difference does that make? Slow or fast you better beat it for Long Island." "It makes this much difference," roared the skipper, "the tide comes in through Holl Gate at a seven mile clip and we've got as much chance of making Long Island as you have trying to make attempt it." So the Hispanola, carrying booz, that cost $12,500 (average price of $25 the case) lay out in midstream with nowhere to go. Subsequently this whisky brought an average price of $100 a case, and according to the relator of this story of the Hispanola it required but forty-eight hours to sell the lot. But that is leaping ahead too fast. To continue as the account was given. The New York Herald by one of the men interested in the whisky, the Hispaniola remained out in midstream un till daybreak, when the detectives disap neared. Then she boldly tied up to the Recreation Pier. The presence of the detective had frustrated well laid plans. It had been arranged to have motor cars at the pier to take the whisky away as fast as it could be hoisted off the sloop. But the automobiles had taken flight and were not back again by the time the Hispaniola docked. Speed was necessary. Five well dressed citizens appeared upon the dock and began raving because there was the boozebut the means of transporting it overland were missing. And then one hit upon a brilliant plan. Accordingly four of the five took to the streets and began stopping private automobiles. They went far into the city because there were no cars in that immediate section of the city at that hour of the morning. This is a typical instance of what they did. One of them, sighting a private motor car coming in to a curb, halted the chauffeur. There was no one except the chauffeur in the car. "Have you time to make $50?" demanded the stranger of the chauffeur, "It won't take more than an hour." "How?" "By taking a chance and asking no questions and coming with me." It required nerve to accept the offer but in this manner five motor cars were drafted. A sixth was obtained in this way: Another member of the scouting party mounted the running board of a small motor truck, produced a rover, poked it into the ribs of the startled driver and spoke as follows: "Noboldy's going to hurt you so long as you do what you're told and shut up. You can drive this bus or you can let me have it. If you let me have it you'll get it back within five hours, for the police will find it where I leave it. But if you want to be reasonable and earn $50 let's go." The driver decided to drive the car. And thus a truck was added to the transportation facilities. "That made six automobiles," said The New York Herald's informant. "They took all but twenty cases of the Hispaniola's load and delivered it at a warehouse in Manhattan. Each chau-four received his $50 and was much pleased, apparently. "The twenty cases remaining were loaded into two cars owned by men who had financial interest in the cargo. The story of one of them is worth listening to. He was driving a big roadster—one built for touring, with lots of storage room behind the seats. Into the roadster ten cases were packed—120 quarts of Scotch. In the car with the driver and owner was a pretty girl." SHAVE POLICEMAN; NARROW ESCAPE "They were bound for Manhattan, and crossed the river over the Queensboo Bridge. Sweeping into the plaza on the eastern end of the bridge and circling a traffic cop who stood in the center on a raised section of the street the roadster almost hit a truck. The turn had to be made between the cop and the truck. There was just room enough to make it and no more. In fact, the driver looked back over his shoulder as he ran between the cop and the truck and saw one of the rear fenders clip the cop's leg. "He stepped on the gas. I wouldn't do to be caught with ten cases of booze and praying that the cop wasn't hurt, the driver broke speed records across the bridge. The cop wasn't hurt. We know that because the next day this same man, in a different car went by the same traffic station and saw the cop waving them by as usual. He stopped and asked to be directed to some place or other. The cop told him. "Thanks," said the bootleger. "I'm a stranger in this section and I'd like you to accept this by way of permitting me to show my appreciation of you traffic cops." BOOTLEGGER IS APPREHENSIVE "And he slipped the cop $20, which made him feel better about what had happened the day before." And then The New York Herald's source of information talked about costs. The initial outlay, he said, was the greatest. A boat capable of carrying 100 cases cost $2,000 or more. To go into the business on any sort of pretentious scale required a vessel capable of carrying 2,000 to 4,000 cases north and such a craft might cost $25,000. These figures are not of course, arbitrary. But after that comes the fixed overhead charges and this man consulted his books. "It costs about $400 to provision your boat here in New York if your crew consists of no more than five men," he said. "You might have to spend $200 more for extra provisions before you start north again. Your gasoline will cost about $475 and oil $60. That should carry a small boat both way. Each member of the crew of sauna a boat gets $250 for the job plus a bonus for landing the stuff, and just at present at West End we are paying an average price of $22.40 a case. RYE HARD TO GET NOW "Much depends upon the sort of whisky you handle. Rye is hard to get now but Scotch is plentiful of course. The only rye worth getting at Nassau of Grand Bahama is the Hunter and Cedarbrook brands. They cost about $27 a case. The cheaper Scotch costs $19. House of Lords, Royal George, His Majesty's Service, Antique, Spey, Royal White and Gold, Heather Dew a nd Scotch Cream, White Horse. Black and White and Peter Dawson cost us $21 a case and Haig and Haig and Dewars cost us $25 and $27. "So we figure that we pay an average price of $22.40 for all kinds of whisky. It is delivered in New York for $95 and $95 whole." A SOCIAL HISTORY OF THE AMERICAN NEGRO. (By Benjamin Brawley.) Book Chat by Mary White Owington. Published by The Mac Millan Company, New York City, Price $4.00 In including Postage. This new history will be felt by many to be the most important book upon the Negro that has been printed for years. We have had a deluge of opinion on the question, dolled out to us by black and white alike but Mr. Brawley gives us a history, compiled with conscientious care and covering a long period o' time. From the coming of the first slave ship to the founding of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the National Negro Improvement Association is a goodly period and the 400 pages that the book contains can with difficulty compress all the important thing that the writer has to say. Indeed a utilism of the book would be the division of space, 70 per cent of the volume concerning itself with the period before the Civil War. This hurries the latter part and perhaps paints an even more gloomy picture of today than history demands. There is nothing passionate or emotional in Mr. Brawley's writing. He practices great calm and strives to be if possible stricly impartial. Nevertheless one would soon know that the book was either by a Negro or by one who "thought black" not because of the presentation of the facts but because of the facts themselves. We view the Indian wars, especially, the wars THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Allcock knowledge. Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church, Rev. James S.

Waller ) The two Christmas programs rendered at the Clubhouse on Sunday the 25th and Monday the 26th, respectively, were the most successful ever seen in Paraiso. Each one was attended by a record breaking crowd and all were pleased with the enjoyment they received. "Yes, we had a good time." was the common expression. There are perhaps one or two reasons for the extra manifestation of interest by these people at this time, namely: on the 18th of December there was held at the Clubhouse a Community evening under the auspices of the newly organized Paraiso Community Club for which a free Moving Picture show had been advertised and as was expected it really served as a very great means of attraction. There were several speakers for the occasion, who made it plain to the people of Paraiso that they were not only asleep but dead to the opportunities which were within their grasp. "Think of a Community," said one speaker, "with no organization to promote progressiveness among its people. We cannot live apart from the avenues of modern thought, without becoming more and more a slave to ignorance." Another reason which might be mentioned is that we are daily coming into contact with many who are poverty stricken, without even the bare necessities of life and with no immediate opportunity of relief, no means of obtaining food other than from soup kitchens and other charities which have been established in Panama City on the Pacific and Colon on the Atlantic; when we, who are residing on the Canal Zone, working for the United States Government, compare our condition with their why should we not rejoice and be merry at the wonderful circumstances in which God has placed us. Thus every mind seemed to have been ripe and ready for just such a program, as we were preparing. One very important item in connection with our exercises this year was the large number of Spaniards and Pan amanlans who attended and whose children sang and recited in their own language, eliminating for a time the tendency towards the American style of segregation. Many friends assisted us in carrying out our plans of treating the children, among them were the Boys and Girls of room 15 E. M. Stanton School, Philadelphia, Pa., under Mr. Arthur Fauccet. We are surely grateful to these young people whose hearts stretched on across the soaps and affected in a tangible way the little ones upon the Inthms of Panama. But our progress upward is greatly hindered on account of the multiplicity of obstacles which the people themselves place in the way. In the first place proficient leadership is the outstanding need of this people, such men are at this time few in number upon the Isthmus. The great responsibility, therefore of accomplishing any good rests upon the shoulders of the few who are determined to stand for such acts as are pleasing to our Maker. The tendency for those who come to this part of the world to become stigmatized with the slothfulness of the country obceasing the blame on the climatic conditions is also very contagious; but we are hoping for a great change fo. good in this year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and twenty-two. Since the spirit of good fellowship is struggling for a place in the hearts of men in Washington and other parts of the world, we are waiting the day when the people here upon the Isthmus of Penna will awake from their present state of slumbering show a will ingness to use what ever talent they have in promoting a higher standard of living among themselves as well as the advancement of the cause of humanity everywhere. of the Seminoles, through the Negroes' eyes and learn that the Indian and the Negro raised among the Indians fought shoulder to shoulder against the efforts to make them migrate. Mr. Brawley concludes his chapter on the Indian Wars with the statement: "In the course of the Seminole wars the rights of Indian and Negro alike were ruthlessly disregarded. There was redress for neither before the courts, and at the end in dealing with them every honorable principle of men and nations was violated." The desire to get back runaway slaves who were received by the Indians and treated by them with far more humanity than they were treated by the whites, was a controlling motive in the desire of the people of Florida and Alabama to force the Indians to migrate. Mr. Brawley gives great, and deserves really great, importance to the slave insurrections of Denmark Vesey and Nau Turner. The terror that these men, especially Nat Turner implanted in the heart of the southern slave holder led to harsh legislation especially against the free Negro, but in the long run the Negro gained. Every time he made his hideous status know he helped the cause of anti-slavery. Another matter, new in the recitation of the anti-slavery agitation as we have read it in white histories, is the story of the convention of Negroes held in Philadelphia September 15, 1839, three years before the founding of the American Anti-Slavery Society. One reads here of great names of B' Bishop Allen of Pennington Shadd and others. And at these first conferences were the white champions of freedom, Garrison, Tappan, Jocelyn. The book brings out with great cleaners the rebellious Negro both slave and freeman. The characteristics that we applaud when we see them in the Negro youth today, their revolt against prejudice and oppression. Mr. Brawley shows very clearly were not missing in the much more dangerous and difficult days of slavery. There is an important chapter upon Liberia, a story of a brave group of prisoners whose difficulties were far worse than those that the Puritan fathers ever encountered. There were not only the immense hordes of natives, unfriendly from the first, but the European newers, foremost among them the British, ready to seize any unfair advantage and to steal from the new republic whenever they found it safe. The marvel is that Liberia has survived at all. I have said that Mr. Brawley is un emotional, but one chapter, that on organization and agitation ends with the wonderful story of Soujourne Truth speaking at the Woman's Suffrage Convention. "Dat little man in black dar" and Soujourne Truth points her long finger at him. "he say women can't have as much rights as man... cause Christ weren't a woman. But what did Christ come from?" Raising her voice she repeated, "What did Christ come from? From God and a woman. Man had nothing to do with him." How much we have missed who have never seen Soujourne Truth! But her words can still thunder through the centuries and make the quiet historian's page arrow with spiritual flame. There is much in the latter part of the book upon lynching and peonage and the author ends with an appeal for order and law. It is a pretty big task to compress the story of the Negro in the United States from 1876 to the present day in one hundred pages, and if Mr. Brawley seems less successful here than in the earlier part of his book it is not strange. It is always more difficult to deal with the near times than with those far away. Witness Mr. Wells, whose Outline of History is at its best before man appears upon the earth! But on the whole we have an important, much needed work that contains a great deal of material, some of it now, with which we should all be familiar. It is a book that I wish might be in every white American's library., and that I should think no colored American could afford to have missing from his shelves. ROANOKE NEWS ROANOKE, VA., February 1.—Rev. W. W. Hicks of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church, his chair and a number of the members attended church in Fincastle last Sunday, where they enjoyed a spiritual treat as well as a nice winter outing. Madison Stanfield, the Planet agent has discovered that there is a great falling off in the reading of strong and helpful literature. The reason may be on account of the financial strain under which we are now going. If so, it is hoped there may soon come a better condition of affairs, so that they may read and profit by the lessons taught. The snow was heavy here, but the attendance at the Churches was very good. Sir John Calloway, of Ninth Avenue, who has been quite indisposed, is much improved this week.

District Attorney Banton has piled evidence on Boddy and will rest after ‘an Inconsequential detail fs prosented tomorrow, In tho mass df tontimony aq ducod yosterday not an excuse, but a reason for the killing came ont. ‘That was tho foar In Body's amtn@, & foar Morris Koenfg, hie. connse! wil endeavor to prove drove him ta inell ‘ness, that, although not under arrest he was to W kicked and ‘beaten for sov eral hours In the back toom of tho po.

He told Mr. Honnts tho two detectty es wore holding him as thoy walked to ward the police station while he kept w revolver up his right sleeve. Almos. to the polico station he shot both men dwn. He insisted in his statement to Hennis and ina signed confession giv on to Alfred J.

In convorsation with Assistant Die trict Attorney Hennis it was shown Boddy's brother, John, had once been uont to tho paychopathte ward in Bolte yuo for examination. This was consld- ered favorable to tho defense, as an in- sanity plea is undoubtedly to be made. JOINED COLORED REGIMENT Mr. Hennts’ oxamination developed that Boddy joined Col. Hayward’s colo ed regiment, the Fifteenth, In Septom: hor 1916; but his mother got him out a year later. whilo the regimont was in Camp Merritt, by claiming ho was un der ge, Botdy at that time was al moat 18. Instead of fighting overseas ‘ho became a hootblack in Harlem. In tho course of tho lang examinaticr by Mr, Honnis, Boddy told of all his movemonts from the morning of the night of the shooting until his arrest in Philadelphia. He declared tho taxt cab ehauffour, Adam Adubato, who at the point of a revolver drove him to the Ponnsylvanta Hne before the Raso: Mne gave out, did not oscane by jump ing on the running bonrd of a pasalne car put was ordered to leave him by that method. During the day Charles E, Bonner, » Philadelphia detective, in testifying as to Boddy’s arrest, demolished thd storyehie had waitesl down stairs whils acolored magistrate, Amos Scott, went to Body's room in a colored lodging house and arrested him. Bonner, who is supported by Body's story, entered Noddy's room ntter the slayer had been Aisarmod by a rick worked by a color ed rosident of the house whom he trust ed. Bonner donted emphatically an at tempt was made to got Boddy to taln by refusing him food.

In this statement Boddy sald of the momont of the killing: “Thon T guess my temper flared up Why ‘should T always be beaten up for nothing. Tt seemed everything was in a daze, and T don't rember even how many shots were fired and T ran.” Last night Judge Koonig said he thought It probable he would place Bod dy on the stand in his own behalf, Mr Danton expects to close after introduc ing in evidence letters written by and found on Roddy this morning, and the defense believes it will require only about aday nnd a half to prosent tts sido.

His repltes to his counsel's ques- tlons indicated that he may, have payned an overcoat ho know had heen stolen and “taken” an mutomoblle for a foy ride. But there was no suggest- fon {u his replies that he was guilty of any of tho major erimes he says tho de toctiver tried to torture him Into evn. fessing. Boddy was setting up asa ce fonso a plea of justifiable homtetde, committed under the stresa of insans terror. Tt wes almost halt-past 2 in the after noon whon Herman Hoffman, one of tho defendant's state-patd Jawyers, cal ed Boddy to tho stand, With his elbows on tho arms of the witness chair anc his black tingora tonsoly wovon togeth er and pressed against his blue serxe vost.

Suspicion.” “What did they say they wanted you for?* “They said they were going Lo ques tlon me.” “Whit did they do?” “T was severely beaten." Onritting the questions propounded by Mr. Hoffman Boddy's story of taat expertenie was es follows: “Twas takon to the rear room of the 88th precinct (West 125th Street.) ‘hero wore about seven men there. Ono was Anton Strauser. I was in the middle of them. After they had punch ed mo a few times I was sot in a chat ike this (Boddy Indicated the witness chair and one Was on exch side of me; one in front and one in the rear. Thon they took afoot of rubber hose that was nailed to a plece of broom handt and I was beaten.” How long did that last?" PRISONEN TELLS OF BEATING “Well (with a half smile) it seemed like all day, but tt wee really only halt an hour.” “What then?” “I was released. I got home in time and T was put to bed. ‘This rubber hoss. doesn't leave any marks; Just brulgos.’ Not long after this beating, Boddy testified he was picked up by a man ho sald was “OMcer Martin.” Omitting his counsel's questions, this was his story of that alloged at tnek: “was taken into the same back room and severely beaten. ‘There were about four ofcors. It was about a sta bing. ‘Thero had been a dance. ‘They wanted to know who was the fellow who had done the stabbing. Thad a ticket for that dance in my pocket. Jn stead of convineing thom that I ad 1't been there It made them more sure ‘They sald T myst have had two tickets and used the other ono, I didn't know anything about tho stabbing. Twas “questioned about twenty-five minutes, ‘There wore the usual threats. of abuse, ‘Phoy sald they'd give me a trimming, ‘Thora was no rubbor hose‘and no black Jack thie timo. Just fiats—for about 2 hours. Detective Scott was there, but ho walked out before they began to boat mo. Ho told them not to beat mo. When they got through he came back and protended to quarrel with the oft cers for hitting me— “Strike that out,” sald Justice Way servorel. “What did Detective Scott say when he came back?” prompted Mr. Hoffman “Ho seid: Didn't I tell you fellows. not to hithim?” MORE ALLEGATION OF ALURE “What was the next exporience you haa?" ? “My wife and T wero ata dance. I waa called outside, ‘They wanted to seo me. My wife accompanied me to the gtation house. I don't know what they questioned mo about. T was in the front oMico first and then in the back room. ‘They told my wife to go homo, that they were going to keep me all night. Sald T was under arrest.” “What happened to you?" “Twas blackjacked in the onr, ‘There Wore nine men there, but it was the captain of detectives himself that hit me with the blackjack.” “Was there a charge against you then.” “I don't know. Twas taken to the 123d Street Hurlem station and then T was discharged downtown. The may, that did the thing for which they beat me fonfessed that he did It. That's why T was @istharged."” “What was your next experience with the police?” T met Detoctive Scott, in a pawnshop In Decembor 1918. 1 hnd an overcont Ho took me to the Thirty-cighth Pro cinet and I was charged with receiving stolen goeds. Didn't anything happen this timo. ‘Then T was brought down- town and tho case dismissed. 'Thoy sald thoy knew I hadn't taken the over coat, but that I know who did."” Boddy recelved a suspended son tence for one of his escapades the do tails of which were not put into the record yesterday, Finally this suspon- sion was revoked and he was sent to Blackwell's Island. “T was sent to the penitentiary." he sald, “and put to work tn the’ com yard, SLAYD R HAD PAINS IN HBAD A fellow prisoner struck him with a shovel while they were at work one day and he came to hig senses in ihe prison hospital. It was that blow which made the sear from temple to chin on the face of the prisoner, Bod dy testified that after leaving the hos pital he continued to have throbbing pains In his head. Another experiones with the pollee about which he testified occurred Apri 19,1919. Concerning this he said: “T was beat up with a blackjack #04 tho rubber hase” he sald. “Discharged again in court?” “yon” “Aftor that?” “Well I went voluntarily to inquire abont my wife, They detained me. The lady where my wife worked had a lot of liquor in a closet and it vanished, I was punched and questioned.” In September 1920 Boddy was Hviug in New Jersey, sometimes in Montela'r the home of his mother and sometimes in Newark, ‘Did you get into any trouble there.’ “T ald.” This reply was given a‘ bi of emphasis. “What was It?" “Toy-riding. T was sent to Rahwey ,reformatory for thirteen months.” THEFT OF AUTO ADMITTED “Just a minute.” interposed Thetice Waaservogel. “What. do you mean by Joy-riding?” | “Another follow and. me picked up i tho first car we could soe and drove of ‘with it.” "Proceed. ‘Then, while Boddy was locked up In Rahway, ho was violating the terms ot his parole in Now York In Vrut Ifo ‘aia not report perlodically to the parole officer, so when ho was reteased fra aahway he was sent buck to Bluck- woll’s Island.

It was after thet beating that Boddy took 9 step that may have a tremendous weissht with the jury. He appeated to tho parole officer to whom he had bees reporting for relief from the persec- Lone of the men of the 38th precinct. ‘ThE parole officor referred him to Com tnissioner of Corrections Hamilton. The compluint Boddy wanted to make was that he had been beaten tor some erie that had been committed while he was locked up on Blackwell's Island. He said ho was beaten before ho had a chance to tell this. When he explained he was released without apol By. “Phoy only kept me about an hour," finished Baldy.
