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. Mr. A. M. Reed Laid to Rest The funeral services of Mr. A. M. Rood were held at the First Baptist Church, Sunday, January 22, 1922.

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.

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 last discussion on "Our Purpose" was given by Dr. Bessie B. Tharpe. In a very forceful address, Dr. Tharpe outlined how the Young Women's Christian Association seeks to become a social force for the extension of the Kingdom of God. Its sorial program includes not only good times and activities for girls and women but proper housing, proper sit, roundings and conditions in work and an organized together of all groups into an organized group, the promotion of Christian standards, 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 renewal, the Recognition Service was held. Each member pledged herself ready and willing to serve the Association in whatever way she could host 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."

Miami, Jan. 25—Guarded by an escort of police six members of a colorado 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 musicians 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 Broad. --- Washington, D.C., Jan. 25.—Resuming its inquiry into charges of alleged illegal executions of American soldiers overseas, the special Senate investigation committee was told today by Henry Gentry, colored of Lawrence, Kan., that in France he saw Major Joseph Phillips of Orange, N.J., colored shoot William Patterson, a colored private for refusing to help a cook cut bread. Gentry, who testified while an ambulance waited outside the Senate office building to take him to a hospital, to be operated on for appendicitis, said Patterson later died, according to ger. 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 hanging 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 1818, by three medical officers on duty at the hospital at the time. The witnesses, Drs. James P. Braskle and Richmond 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 is-sur Tille 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 McDermet of Indianapolis, Rusel 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 colored one—and all insisted they heard no reports of "wholesale executions." Senator Watson, Georgia brought out that the witnesses testifying as to is-sur-Tille had written members of the committee expressing a desire to be heard. James W. Loffitz of New York City who as a captain in the Quarter-master's Corps was stationed at Gleaves for nearly two years testified therow was only one execution in that area as listed by the War Department. Describing discipline at Gleaves as good, Loffitz said there was a lot of talk and footing after an assistant secretary of War whom he identified as "Mr. Rosenwald" had made a speech there in which he asserted that colored soldiers would be "the better treatment after the war. "The latter was about the speech that some of them felt like lynching Rosenwald," said the witness. --- —Mr. W. H. Hatcher of 1917 Decor tur street is confined to his home on account of sickness.

LYNCHERS SENTENCED TO LONG TERMS LIFE TERM TO FIVE YEARS FOR LABOR LYNCHING. Oklahoma City, Jan. 24.—Five self-confessed members of the party that lynched Jake Brooks, colored packer worker on January 14 were sentenced to serve life terms at hard labor in the State penitentiary in McAlester when they pleaded guilty today before Judge James L. Philsus in District Court. The five are Lee Whitley, 29; Charles Polk, 19; Eimer Yeurta, 19; all white and Robert Allen 27, cousin of the lynched man, and Nathan Butler 40 both colored. Whitley and Yeurta are members of the Butcher Workman's Union which is on strike here and Polk is admitted ly 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 Yearna, brother of Elmer Yearna now said to be in Arkansas and Oscar Scott now under arrest in Mert, McLennan county, Texas, the one of Sherie B. Dane's deputy has gone to beijing this day. All the men declared they merely stood by while the colored man was struggling 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 murder in their hearts when they went out there," the County Attorney said. On account of their youth and for the further reason they may be of assistance to the State later on I make the recommendation to the court of the sentences. Each of the men stated he know whether the union officials knew anything about the intention or acts of the men in lynching Brooks. Judge Philips took particular pains to ask the men if they had any intention 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.

Each of these members is consulted about the distribution of patronage in their states. In the Committee UoFa Fu States. In the states that have republican senators and congressmen, the National Committee 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 Committee acts with his state organization and has the final word in recommendations to the President for the distribution of patronage in his own state. Mr. Johnson is the long Negro member of the Committee, representing three million people throughout the nation and has the most potential following beldou in of any National Committeeman. Yet he alone is disfranchised, 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 Convention elected by the same National Convention that nominated the President, despite the fact that he has the regular organization of the 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 cast six million $_{10}$ votes distributed throughout the country and without whose united support the republicans won in the congress nor a president, Mr. Johnson could enough influence to land 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 in adulthood in America, he has no influence in administration. He is literally disfriended by going the White House and without a confidence with the Chairman of the National 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 eloquently silent under the helmpead and ostracism placed upon him by uttled丛 (Continued on Page 2. ) Card of Thanks.

FACE - COUNTRY - WORLD NEWS PRICE, FIVE CENTS LUTHER BODDY SENT TO CHAIR FOR POLICE MURDER LAWERS 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 Sergent Francis J. Buckley after the jury had deliberated for two hours and twenty minutes. He will be sentenced Friday by Justice Isador Wasservogel in the Spreeman Court. The verdict leaves no alternative penalty to death in the electric chair. Boddy also had killed Detective Sergent 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 attendants. He again faced the court, in the name of bravado and answered the courtroom put to him by the clerk of the court without a tremor in his voice. "MANSLAUGHTER" INDICATED Fifteen minutes before the foreman William H. Wilson, dry goods dealer at 340 West Forty-seventh street had delivered the verdict of guilty the jury had entered the court room to ask Justice Wassergogel several questions containing to degrees of murder and man shaughter. From the questions it appalled that the jury was considering a verdict against shaughter. Boddy's free express sentencing cheerfulness. During the time of the trial Boddy was calm. He was not pressured by a blue serge suit, black headdress, a brown derby hat and light brown overcoat on the table beside him. Not once did he show the least sign of nervousness or discomfort. During a recess taken by the jury for supper he received coffee, and wonders and cigarettes from his mother, wife and other relatives who sat during the trial in the row of the court room. He smiled at them from his seat in the steel lined stone of the Courts Building. After several calls 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 Boddy, just before adjournment last Friday, was denied by Justice Wasservogel on the opening of court. This motion was has been introduction of evidence by Jasper Rhoads, the policeman who accused the defendant, having shot him twice on December 19. Mr. Rhoads said this established an independent crime and would prejudice the jury. Virtually the entire day was spent in summing up. Then Justice Wasson vogel spent two hours charging the jury which went out at 5:40 o'clock. Mr. Koenig in summing up said Bad dy was in fear of the police, due to previous persecution; at their hands. He spoke of the killing as an explosion of a diseased mind, saying: "The green lights of the police station were to this man the symbols of a torture chamber. He shot in the horror of the thought of what he had before suffered much place. Fear over smeared himself to reason." He closed by retiring 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 manslaughter. District Attorney Banton, prosecuting the case in person, called attention to the intelligence and quick wif of the defendant. He said: "In all my experience in cross-examination I have never met a keener in tellect 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 Lather Boddy, the twenty-two year old colored youth on trial for murder in the Supreme Court, it became increasingly an parent that the only refuge of the slay or 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 statue, his head toward the bench.

The Monrovia Liberian News in its issue of November has this to say about passing events in this country: We have been watching with the keenest interest the great political and social fight for supremacy in Leader ship between two factions of Negroes in the United States of America, which in our opinion has caused not only great uneasiness for the future of the black people in America but has also regretfully thrown back or retarded the political educational, industrial and economic developments of the entire race which will eventually take years and years to overcome. In referring to Leadership, we must first point out from a psychological point of view what elements in man, whether political, intellectual, moral or social will constitute a Leader. To our mind it would appear that not only would intellectual qualification alone constitute a true leader, but we are of opinion that for one to be a true lead eror his race, he must first be possessed of racial instinct, together with political, intellectual, moral and social aptitude as well as a natural and inherent ability to lead, with these qualities we contend would endow a leader in its truest sense. And again: Now we have been watching the political and social fight for Leadership between Mr. Marcus Garvey of the U. N. I. A. and Dr. Du Bois of the N. A. A. C. P., which for the sake of the race we very much regret, for we have followed them closely along the lines of political, educational and social advancements and we may with candour say, that it is our honest and unbiased judgment in the historical review of the life-work of Mr. Marcus Garvey and Dr. Du Bois and critically examine the personnel of the two intellectual Giants as political leaders, teachers of modern sociology, race-builders and leaders, possessing one hundred per cent racial instinct and patriotism we feel to assert without fear of contradiction from the press and statesmen of Europe and America that Mr. Garvey today stands head and shoulders above his contemporary as a Constructive Race Leader; and we verily believe that if this question for Race Leadership was submitted to an international vote Mr. Garvey would undoubtedly have a majority of hundreds of millions. It continues: Now we in far off Liberia after carefully and critically considering the propaganda of Mr. Garvey and Dr. Du Bois, and the modus operandi by which each of them may solve the race problem, we feel to say, that Mr. Garvey's movement show a far greater feasibility for solving the solution of the question now under agitation before the world. We also feel sorry indeed to know seer and the transcendent judgment of a diplomat. But he "clinches" this comment in the following language: You urge the Negro not to imitate the white man, but to set up his own racial ideals. The American Negro has acquired the European's consciousness and put on his spiritual clothes. He uses the same language, reads the same books, admires the same art, understands the same science accepts the same standard of ethics and practices the same religion. When he builds a house or buys a suit of clothes or preaches a sermon or writes a poem, he must proceed along European lines. Whatever racial aims on ideals he might have developed if left in his native country have been destroyed by transplantation and by imitation of his captains. Fred Benglask used to say "there is none of the banana tree." It is no particular compliment to the white man that the Negro initiates him. The human race is ever prone to imitate admirable qualities wherever they appear. It is not color or racial idiosyncrasy that are imitated but attainment, of which the color may be a negligible accompaniment. The Anglo-Saxon professes to imitate Jesus, Saviour of the World, although he may affect to despise the idiosyncrasies and race peculiarities of the Jew. It is not the race, but the ideal manifested by the individual. As in the water face answers to face, so the heart of man to the heart of man. The external incidents of race and color count absolutely for naught. Because the Negro's forefathers travelled in the dugout, there is no reason why his descendants may not use the steamship, the railway and the airplane. Whatever divergences there may in racial gifts and qualities serve but as the spice of variety. It would be a curious philosophy that urged the Indian to put aside his ancestral and tribal ways and yet encourage the Negro to revert to his African customs and traditions. And again If I may be permitted to revert again to the deracialized millions of mixed breed, whose ethnic identity the white man has made doubtful, it would be interesting to know what traditions and racial ideals they should be encouraged to develop. Your advice to the No groes on this point, Mr. President, though given with a generous purpose and kindly intent, is necessarily vow of effect. No one can effectively advise another to be different from himself or to be content with anything less or any thing different from that which he is willing to accept for himself. In vala does the millionaire advise the puppe to be content in his poverty. The well man need not urge the invalid to be satisfied with illness. The philosopher in vain preaches to the fool the content of folly. The teacher who would teach his pupil to be less than himself or different from himself loses the power of inspiration. No white man, however generous his spirit, is competent to advise the Negro in the domain of the segregated life which he must live apart. "The toad beneath the harrow knows Exactly where each toothprint goes. The butterfly along the road Preaches contentment to that toad." Here you have logic, axioms, the Golden Rule and 'common-sense all combined. There can be no argument upon these points, no disagreement with these premises. They are as sol- fovident as Holy Writ. We might as well pass on. He continues. Mr. President, your doctrine that your hands and makes it impossible for you to accord the Negro political equality. You were supported in the last election by 100 per cent of the Negro voters. They naturally expect official recognition according to their weight and importance in the political equation. Their votes as much as any others helped to swell the magnitude of your majority. So far you have not seen your way clear to recognize this support by concrete tokens of political reward. The plain' of disappointment is a' but universal. Your black political allies can scarcely refrain from the familiar lines "Behold e. stranger at the door; He gently knocks, has knocked before; Has waited long, is waiting still; You treat no other friend so ill." What is the matter with Kelly Miller? The above extract and familiar lines as he chooses to term them should be emblazoned upon the walls of every Negro political club-house in the United States. In the language of the street, "It touches the spot." It reflects the feelings of the army of colored voters of the United States of America. He says further: No one believes that this is in accord with your spontaneous feeling and attitude, but by reason of recognition of race difference you hesitate to accord the Negro political equality. It is also stated that you have declared that you will not appoint a single colored man to office in the South where 8,000,000 loyal Republican Negroes reside. This is not because hundreds of Negroes are not as well qualified to hold sundry offenses as the white men whom you are likely to select, but because of alleged racial differences. Political equality must carry with it the right to vote and be voted for or to hold any office in any part of the United States. It is also stated that you have refused to ap point a colored man to the position of Register of the Treasury, a position accorded to the race for more than a generation, because 500 subordinate white employees, in the Treasury Department petitioned you not to place a colored man over them. Racial segregation in the government departments begin under Mr. Wilson's administration, is continued under yours. These instances are sufficient to prove conclusively that even a President of the United States cannot accord the Negro political equality as long as he defends to the doctrine of eternal difference of race. What answer can be made to this indictment? Have fundamental right principles and constitutional guarantees been unnified so long that no of the fight which now exists in America for social equality by some of the so-called leaders, which has a tendency not only to blight the good efforts of true leaders, but it also effectually stops the development of the entire race. And we do also say, that so long as this fight for Race Leadership and supremacy exist among the Negroes in America, the Race in America, will never be able successfully, to succeed until they lay aside all political and social strife and concentrate and cement themselves together for our common good, which will undoubtedly result in the Redemption of Africa and the founding of a Great African Empire which ought to be the daily and hourly slogan of every true and untrammed Negro. We are pleased to say for general information that we are neither Garvoytes nor Dr. Estes, and we are not members of the U. N. I. A., nor the N. A. A. C. P., but we are true Liberians, and we do not contend for social equality for it is a thing that is altogether foreign to us in this country; for we are at the topmost rung of the ladder and whoever comes to this country, whether they be British, French or American they must contend for social equality with us; but in our opinion it is not social equality that the Negro in America really wants, no, we think he wants Social Justice and Equal Opportunity. This African editor is correct in his conclusions. He has discussed the mooted question of leadership. The whole subject matter hinges upon the question of race. If the Negroes of the world are to make a race issue, then the plan belongs to the Hon. Marcus Garvey. If they base it upon the citizenship question, Americanism and all that the term implies, then he must go further in his conclusions. The people to settle the matter are the people being led and they have divided up upon this question and are rallying under respective leaders. For the time being, at least there is no one great leader of the Negroes in this or any other country. The race is controlled by thousands of leaders and these leaders alone can choose the leader of leaders to lead us out of the "gall of bitterness" and the bond of disunion. --- SUPERINTENDENT COHN'S ARMY Superintendent Henry C. Cohn und questionably produced results this week in the admirable handling of his "army" of street employees, which resulted in the removal of the mountaintops of snow on Broad and Main streets. We have never seen the work done to better advantage and we have never known a time when just such service was so badly needed. It is but fair to say that the men under him work with the persistency and tenacity of veterans and the steady stream of wagons on their way to the nearest dumps testified to the efficiency of the service. The Fire Department did its part in flushing the sewers with water as loads of snow were dumped into the manholes. KELLEY MILLER'S OPEN LETTER "Truth from his lips prevailed with double sway, And fools, who came to scoff remain- ed to pray." —Goldsmith. There can be no doubt but what Dr. Kelly Miller in editing his open letter to the President of the United States at this particular time wrote virtually with the poi of inspiration. The more his utterances are pondered, the more is brought to light a deeper meaning, but all of it is in accordance and in consonance with fundamental right principles. He proceeds to deal with a most delicate subject, not only $i_n$ the South, but in the North as well. It is the question of legal amalgamation of the races. The illegal amalgamation of this same class of people has been going on for some time to the evident disgust of loyal Americans of African descent everywhere. He says: Several years ago I appeared before the House Committee to oppose a bill that pending forbidding inter-marriage on whites and Negroes in the District of Columbia. I fled that my words used then are pertinent now: "If you let people alone, of their own motion they do not usually amalgamate. The Jew will marry a Jew, the Italian an Italian, the Englishman will marry an English woman. This is so in the natural course of things. Amalgamation of races is a slow and long process when you leave people alone. If you want to forbid intermarriage of races you must have in mind this fundamental al principle. It makes no fundamental al difference in the long run whether races are amalgamated legitimately or illegitimately. Students of history know that at one time in England there were two distinct peoples, the Normans and the Saxons, who finally became amalgamated very largely through the illegitimate process. But, after a few generations, when the social stigma had passed away it made no difference. The social stigma of the father is visited on the children only to the third and fourth generations. For instance, the chairman of our delegation, though a colored man, is as white inside and our side as any member of Congress. If he chooses to charge his name and residence and to practice a little deception he could easily become a part of the white race. What he could do is only what 200,000 others could do in like situation." If God or nature had intended any indelible difference between the races.

When he is a suit of on or writes along Europe statesman can be found in the United States with nerve enough and religiosity enough to execute the sworn obligations of an official office? This is the burning issue. This is the ever-lasting question now confronting the American people. The pledge to make the world safe for democracy in Europe seems to have fallen upon deaf ears in the United States of America. Dr. Miller philosophically reviews the have he has wgought in this truly remarkable deliverance and observes as follows: It would be pleasing to suppose that the Negro could get economic equality on the basis that you have laid down but the hope is vain. Every caste system in the world is based on vocation. Social stratification rests upon employment. The Negro in Washington is not permitted to operate a street car as a motorman not because of his lack of ability to do so, but by reason of his race alone. Any man who can run, au automobile in the open streets where there are not tracks can surely guide a street car which moves along fixed grooves. This single citation is sufficient to show that you cannot have democracy in industry as long as you recognize inescapable difference of race. He is hammering on that "Inescapable difference of race." It is like the tom-tom in the play of "The Emperor Jones." It upsets the nerves and "rings the changes" upon the weakest part of that most remarkable address, delivered by the distinguished occupant of the White House at Birmingham, Alabama. He concludes as follows: In conclusion, Mr. President, you have called the nations of the earth to gather to promote peace and good will among men. Whatever adjustments in mediate exigencies may require, whatever concessions weakness may be forced to make at the behest of strength, the weaker and darker races will not shut the door of hope in their own faces by accepting the doctrine of "fundamental, inescapable and eternal difference," among the members of the human race. The Negro has given his labor and his life to build up American civilization. He is willing to cooperate with his white fellow citizens in all constructive ways for the common weal. He accepts without complaint the temporary humiliation of an inferior position. But he believes that God Almighty has ordained America as the trial ground on democracy where among all men there shall prevail equality with the 'dotted and the 't' crossed. Further comment on this address will be useless. The public can judge of the force and justice of all this gifted "man of ethics" has seen fit to say. For our part, we rejoice that he wrote the address and only hope that its biting carcasm, eternal truths and masterly statesmanship may produce a result in keeping with the transcendent thoughts, which he has sought to convey. --- "HENRY LINCOLN JOHNSON DISPURCHISED." There can no longer be any doubt of the fact that there is an open break between Editor Benjamin J. Davis of the Atlanta Independent and his former boson friend, Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson of Georgia. Under the caption of "Henry Lincoln Johnson Disfranchised," Editor Davis makes an attack upon President Warren G. Harding in general and Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson in particular. He charges that the distinguished occupant of the White House has attempted to obliterate a representative form of government in the Republican Party of Georgia. A Colonial form of government has been established with "Governor General" from Washington in charge and the regularly elected party organization has been absolutely ignored and abandoned. He charges further that Mr. Johnson has acquired in this plan of party policy. Editor Davis uses bitter language in dealing with the situation and the indications are now that a split exists in the regular Republican organization with which Editor Bon. J. Davis and the Hon. Henry John Johnson affiliate. We shall watch with interest the result of the controversy. We must admit that we have been unable to reason out how National Committeeman Henry Lincoln Johnson can lawfully be ignored in face of the action of the National Republican Convention recognizing him and his organization at Chicago. The other southern states afford virtually no problem, but in the case of Georgia there remains much explanation to be done and we are "waiting to see what we shall see." $100.00 ENDOWMENT PAID.

The Negroes of this country will not follow the republican party or any other party that openly and coverly disfranchises and discriminates against them. This condition obtains very largely for one or two reasons. First, Mr. Johnson's cowardly acquiesce in his own disfranchisement for the sake of a position for himself or President's determination to eliminate our group because of our race, color or previous condition of servitude. And if it is charged to the President's anti-Negro policy, it is Mr. Johnson's duty to explain to the country the President's attitude as it affects his group. If he knows he is disfranchised, as he does know, and if he knows the administration's Negro policy, he owes it to himself, to his race and to his God to make a public explanation. It is generally accepted in this country that the President is a lily-white, opposed to an equality of opportunity for American citizens, without regard to race or color, and the public cannot understand Mr. Johnson's silence under his embarrassment and rejection by the senate or otherwise, other than that he is sacrificing his manhood, his race and every principle of Americanism for a job for himself. The political condition of the race in this country to day is largely chargeable to Mr. Johnson's apparent acquiescence in the President's disfranchisement of himself and his group. There is absolutely no difference in the Harding administration, and the Wilson administration. The administration of Wilson, which premised Negroes nothing, granted them more recognition than the Harding administration, which promised them everything. And if the Harding administration is an indication of the attitude of the republican party towards the Negro, the Independent does not hesitate to advise the Negroes throughout this country to make friends and vote for their neighbors in the communities or states where they live, for no self-respecting Negro man or group of Negro men can vote for the re-election of Harding as President or for the election of a republican congress next November in the teeth of the broken pledges of the party to its Negro group. The Independent would not hesitate to support any decent democrat as a rebuke, if for not other reasons on over any treacherous, hypocritical, deceitful republican candidate. The republican party has violated its pledge to the Negro group. The party cannot carry a single congress or elect a President without Negro votes. The Negro owes the party nothing. It has settled its debt of gratitude for freedom etc., and it is up to him to affiliate with that party that recognizes his manhood and rights. The republican party has failed him despite the fact that Candidate Harding said, "The Negro has not failed the republican party or his country and the republican party will not fall the Negro." President Harding has disfranchised Mr. Johnson, and Mr. Johnson's writescence in the outrage has made it permanently effectual. It was the President who said, in reply to the committee on notification, o fims nomination, "Let me be understood clearly from the very beginning: I believe in party sponsorship in government. I believe in party government as distinguished from personal government, individual, dictatorial, unattractive or whatnot." In spite of these declarations on the part of Candidate Harding, President Harding has established in Ga., as an insult to the regular party organization, personal government, and individual, dictatorial, autocratic government headed by one J. L. Phillips, of Philadelphia. When he was candidate the President, believed in party sponsorship in government, but as President, he believes in ignoring the regular organization and establishing a dictator ship, an individual, autocratic government upon the grounds of color. The President further said in his speech of acceptance, "It was the intent of the founding fathers to give this republic a dependable and enduring popular government, representative in form, and it was designed to make political parties, not only the preserving sponsors, but the effective agencies through which hopes and a WHAT MAKES A WOMAN BEAUTIFUL It is every woman's duty to be beautiful.

The President further said, "No man is big enough to run this republic, and no one man is big enough to run the republican party or any part of it. Such domination was never intended. Tranquility, stability, dependability—all are assured in party sponsorship and we mean to renew the assurance which were rended in the cataclysmal war." "We also said: "The menacing tendency of the present day is not chargeable wholly to the unsettled and fevered conditions caused by the war. The manifest weakness in popular government lies in the temptation to appeal to grouped citizens for political advantage. There is no greater peril to free government. The Constitution content plates no class and recognizes no group." In spite of these hold and plain declarations, the President appeals to white men and lays the foundation for the disfranchisement of Henry Lincoln Johnson, because he is a Negro, and his group which he represents. It is currently reported that the President said to a party of white men. "I want to get rid of Henry Lincoln Johnson, the Negro National Committeeman, for the reason I do not believe that a Negro ought to dictate to a white man's party appointments." We do not vouch for the truthfulness of this statement but it is current that the President uttered this damnable remark and it is up to him to verify it or deny it. (Atlanta Georgia Independent.)

BOOTLEGGING SLOOP WITH RUM CARGO BLUFFS POLICE. 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.

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.

MILLER Latest Photo POUR (Continued from First Page) suit he had worn the day before was discarded for a blue serge suit. His jet black hair, shining with some sort of grease, was slicked back smoothly over his head. Only at the end of the long day did he turn to grin and kisa his hand toward his mother and others at his family, who sat on two benches. The dying statement of Detective Buckley was introduced only after Moris Koenig one of the lawyers for the defense had wager a hard fight to exclude it. District-Attorney Banton succeeded finally $^1$ reading it to the jury after Justice Wasservogel had directed that all reference to the shooting of Detective Miller be omitted. Detective Buckley said: "About 8:15 o'clock Luther Body shot me. I was walking on the outside Boddy was in the middle and Miller was on the inside. We were walking west in 135th street when in front of 222 West 135th street Boddy, who had his hands in his overcoat pocket, fired three shots through the pocket. Then fell. Boddy then ran east in 135th St. TWICE IDENTIFIED SLAYER'S PICTURE The principal witness of the day, Detective Sergeant Edwin F. England testified that he was present at the Harlem Hospital when Buckley twice identified a photograph of Boddy as the man who had shot him. Detective England also told of the statement Boddy had made to him on the train. England quoted Boddy as saying: "Miller and Buckley (on the night of January 5) told me they wanted to take me to the police station to question me about the shooting of Policeman Rouch. I didn't want to go. I thought they might beat me. I was walking along 135th street with one on each side. I had my gun up my right sleeve. I slipped the gun into my hand and shot both. When they fell I ran south in Seventh avenue to 133rd street where I threw away the gun, a thirty-eight caliber revolver. I took a Seventh avenue bus to 116th street then the subway to Fourteenth street and walked to Sixth avenue and fourteenth street where I took the tube to Jersey City and then went to Montclair; I saw my mother for about two minutes and told her I'd done something in New York. Then I went to Newark and got some women's clothes from a girl I knew Belle Davis. I wish they had shot me in Newark so I wouldn't have to go back to New York." England denied that Boddy told him he was in fear of his life and in great terror that the detectives would bolt him unmercifully at the police station, or that Boddy had told him he was in a daze and knew nothing about the shooting. Adubato then told of how he had driven as directed as far as Morrisville near Trenton when, declaring he had no more gasoline, he stopped and escaped by jumping on the running board of another car. TAXI DRIVER TELLS OF ESCAPE Adam G. Adubato, the Newark taxi cab driver who drove Boddy, then in woman's clothes and armed with a pla t toward Philadelphia, told of how he had taken his fare first to Jersey City. He testified: "I opened the door to tell her I couldn't find Washington avenue and she pulled a gun on me and said 'I'm Luther Boddy, the man who shot the detectives. Stand up! Sit down! Stand up! Take your hat off! Take your coat off! "Iidd everything he told me to and said, 'For God's sake, mister, what have I done? Have pity on me, I'm a married man.' An unusually large number of witnesses were called, examined and cross examined. Dr. Charles A. Norris, medical examiner testified about the autopsy. Dr. Matthew di Giorgio told of efforts to save the detective's life by an operation. Charles C. Allison, Jr. parole officer in the Harlem "black belt," testified that on the night of the shooting Boddy reported to him in the school at Lenox avenue and 13kth street. Boddy was then out on parole. Both detectives were there. Mr. Banton next called witnesses of the shooting. William H. Harris, head of the Seymour Realty Corporation, told of seeing two white men with a colored one between them, approaching the 185th street police station of three shots that roared out soon after they had passed him, and how, despite his own speed, some one ran by him and took the turn south into Seventh avenue at top speed. The next witness who was near the scene added a touch of comedy to the grim court scene. This man, Charles J. Jones a dining car waiter on the Pennsylvania Railroad, testified he was lighting a cigarette about eight feet from the detectives and their oris once when the shooting began. "How do you know there was no appreciable interval between the three shots you heard?" counsel for Boddy asked him. "Because by the time I hit the ground it was all over," the witness replied. A little colored girl of 11, Sophie Stroud, with a pigtail of curly hair, said God and the judge would punish her if she told a lie. She told of watch ing three men on 135th street from a tenement house window. --- MADDENED BY FEAR, DEFENSE OF BODDY. New York, Jan. 25.—Some slight encouragement came yesterday afternoon for the first time to the defense in the trial in the criminal branch of the Supreme Court of Luther Boddy, colored who shot and killed two detectives as they were bringing him to the West 135th street police station. District Attorney Banton has pled evidence on Boddy and will rest after an inconsequential detail is presented tomorrow. In the mass of testimony and duced yesterday not an excuse, but a reason for the killing came out. That was the fear in Boddy's mind, a fear Morris Koenig, his counsel, will endeavor to prove drove him to madness, that, although not under arrest he was to be kicked and beaten for several hours in the back room of the police station in a "third degree" examination. Boddy always had claimed he was to be beaten and that he had been beaten and kicked in that same station house four times before. In a long questioning of Boddy after his arrest in Philadelphia, Boddy listened to John R. Hennis, Assistant District Attorney attached to the homiide bureau, that his fear of rough treatment had caused him to shoot Detectives Buckley and Miller. PICK ON PAROLED MEN "When anything happens they (detectives) go after men on parole," he said according to testimony introduced by Mr. Koung. "Any one they see they take to the station house and kick around and say, 'Go home and get well. That's happened to me several times.' "I didn't want to go to the station house. They take you into the haco room and kick you around for a couple of hours and if you can walk home you walk home." He told Mr. Hennis the two detectives as were holding him as they walked to ward the police station while he kept a revolver up his right sleeve. Almost to the police station he shot both men down. He insisted in his statement to Hennis and in a signed confession give on to Alfred J. Souder, chief of detectives of Philadelphia, he was in a dazo as he fired and didn't know what he was doing. Testimony given earlier in the day by Detective Henry F. Butts, a police expert of firearms, established that Buckley, second to be hit was shot just as he swept open his overcoat and coat and had a hand on his revolver slung on his left hip. In conversation with Assistant District Attorney Hennis it was shown Boddy's brother, John, had once been sent to the psychopathic ward in Bellevue for examination. This was considered favorable to the defense, as an insanity plea is undoubtedly to be made. JOINED COLORED REGIMENT Mr. Hennis' examination developed that Boddy joined Col. Hayward's colored regiment, the Fifteenth, in September 1916, but his mother got him out a year later, while the regiment was in Camp Merritt, by claiming he was under age. Boddy at that time was almost 18. Instead of fighting overseas he became a bootlack in Harlem. In the course of the long examination, by Mr. Hennis, Boddy told of all his movements from the morning of the night of the shooting until his arrest in Philadelphia. He declared the taxi-cab chauffeur, Adam Adubato, who at the point of a revolver drove him to the Pennsylvania line before the gasoline gave out, did not escape by jumping on the running board of a passing car but was ordered to leave him by that method. During the day Charles E. Bonner, a Philadelphia detective, in testifying as to Boddy's arrest, demolished the story he had waited down stairs while a colored magistrate, Amos Scott, went to Boddy's room in a colored lodging house and arrested him. Bonner, who is supported by Boddy's story, entered Boddy's room after the slayer had been disarmed by a trick worked by a colored resident of the house whom he trusted. Bonner denied emphatically an attempt was made to get Boddy to talk by refusing him food. Chief Souder testified Boddy volunteered to make a statement in his office and that he was never threatened in any way. In this statement Boddy said of the moment of the killing: "Then I guess my temper flared up. Why 'should I always beaten up for nothing. It seemed everything was in a daze, and I don't rember even how many shots were fired and I ran." Last night Judge Koenig said he thought it probable he would place Body on the stand in his own behalf. Mr Benton expects to close after introducing in evidence letters written by and found on Bodyd this morning, and the defense believes it will require only about aday and a half to present its slide. BODDY LISPS OUT STORY OF POLICE STATION TORNITE. New York, Jan. 26. Luther Boldy, who shot and killed Detective Seicants Buckley and Miller on January 5 as they were taking him to the West 135th Street police station to "question him, testified yesterday at his murder trial about previous experiences in its green lighted, brick outpost of the law. Risking the pitfalls of cross-examination, the young Harlem Negro in a soft voice calculated to turn away the wrath of society as represented by the twelve jurors, took the stand to lisp the story of six beatings he says were administered to him by detectives assigned to that station. BODDY POSES AS MINOR ROGUE Questioned by one of the lawyers appointed by the court to defend him, the youthful bad man of the black belt put himself as a rogue of minor caliber. His replies to his counsel's questions indicated that he may have payed an overcoat; he knew had been stolen and "taken" an automobile for a joy ride. But there was no suggestion in his replies that he was guilty of any of the major crimes he says the defectives tried to torture him into confessing. Bobby was setting up as a defense a plea of justifiable homicide, committed under the stress of insane terror. It was almost half-part 3 in the after noon when Herman Hoffman, one of the defendant's state-paid lawyers, called Boddy to the stand. With his elbows on the arms of the witness chair and his black fingers tensely woven together and pressed against his blue serge vest. Boddy, replying to questions, said he was born in Pore Deposit, Md. twenty-three years age and named the schools he attended down to DeWitt Linton High School where he completed the second year before quitting to go to work. A thick tongue and heavy lips and possibly the admixtures of his adversaries had softened the voice of young Boddy. "What," asked Mr. Hoffman, "was your first experience with the police." INTRODUCTION TO POLICE "A couple of plain-clothes men broke into my room—I was just about to ye THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA tire—and took me to the 135th Street station." "What happened there?" "I was beaten, of course." "Why had they taken you there?" "They wanted to know about some burghary." "What became of the case?" "I was discharged." "What was the next time?" "It was June 1, 1918 (Boddy was then nineteen years old) and I had been taken to the precinct—" "many." What for? "Absolutely nothing. Suspicion." "What did they say they wanted you for?" "They said they were going to ques tlon me." "What did they do?" "I was severely beaten." Omitting the questions propounded by Mr. Hoffman Boddy's story of that experience was as follows: "I was taken to the rear room of the 38th precinct (West 135th Street.) There were about seven men there. One was Anton Strauser. I was in the middle of them. After they had punch ed me a few times I was set in a chair like this (Boddy indicated the witness chair and one was on each side of me, one in front and one in the rear. Then they took a foot of rubber hose that was nailed to a piece of broom handle and I was beaten." How long did that last?" PRISONER TELLS OF BEATING "Well (with a half smile) it seemed like all day, but it we really only half an hour." "What then?" "I was released. I got home in time and I was put to bed. This rubber hose doesn't leave any marks; just bruises." Not long after this beating, Boddy testified he was picked up by a man he said was "Officer Martin." Omitting his counsel's questions, this was his story of that alleged attack: "I was taken into the same back room and severely heaten. There were about four officers. It was about a stabbing. There had been a dance. They wanted to know who was the fellow who had done the stabbing. I had a ticket for that dance in my pocket. In stead of convincing them that I hadn't been there it made them more sure. They said I must have had two tickets and used the other one. I didn't know anything about the stabbing. I was questioned about twenty-five minutes. There were the usual threats of abuse. They said they'd give me a trimming. There was no rubber hose and no black jack this time. Just flats—for about 2 hours. Detective Scott was there, but he walked out before they began to beat me. He told them not to beat me. When they got through he came back and pretended to quarrel with the officers for hitting me"— "Strike that out," said Justice Wus servogel. "What did Detective Scott say when he came back?" prompted Mr. Hoffman. "He said: Didn't I tell you fellows not to hit him?" MORE ALLEGATION OF ALIURE "What was the next experience you had?" ? "My wife and I were at a dance. I was called outside. They wanted to see me. My wife accompanied me to the station house. I don't know what they questioned me about. I was in the front office first and then in the back room. They told my wife to go home, that they were going to keep me all night. Said I was under arrest." "What was the next experience you had?" "What happened to you?" "I was blackjacked in the ear. There were nine men there, but it was the captain of detectives himself that lift me with the blackjack." "Was there a charge against you then." "I don't know. I was taken to the 123d Street Harlem station and then I was discharged downtown. The man that did the thing for which they heat me lionfessed that he did it. That's why I was discharged." "What was your next experience with the police?" "I met Detective Scott, in a pawnshop in December 1918. I had an overcoat He took me to the Thirty-eighth Precinct and I was charged with receiving stolen goods. Didn't anything happen this time. Then I was brought downown and the case dismissed. They said they knew I hadn't taken the over coat, but that I knew who did." Boddy received a suspended sentence for one of his escapades the dots of which were not put into the record yesterday. Finally this suspension was revoked and he was sent to Blackwell's Island. "I was sent to the penitentiary," he said, "and put to work in the coat yard." SLAY R HAD PAINS IN HEAD A fellow prisoner struck him with a shovel while they were at work one day and he came to his senses in the prison hospital. It was that, blow which made the scar from temple to chin on the face of the prisoner. Boddy testified that after leaving the hospital he continued to have throbbing palms in his head. Another experience with the police about which he testified occurred April 19,1919. Concerning this he said: "I was beat up with a blackjack and the rubber hose" he said. "Discharged again in court?" "Yes." "After that?" "Well I went voluntarily to inquire about 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 living in New Jersey, sometimes in Montclair the home of his mother and sometimes in Newark. "Did you get into any trouble there." "I did." This reply was given a 'blu of amphasis. "What was it?" "Joy-riding. I was sent to Rahwey reformatory for thirteen months." THEFT OF AUTO ADMITTED "Just a minute." interposed Justice Wasservogel. "What do you mean by joy-riding?" "Another fellow and me picked up the first car we could see and drove off with it." "Proceed." Then, while Boddy was locked up in Rahway, he was violating the terms of his parole in New York in that he did not report periodically to the parole officer, so when he was released from Rahway he was sent back to Blackwell's Island. Again Boddy was beaten at the 38th precinct, he said. When he was released he went to the home of his mother-in-law and she dressed his injuries; later little tenement flat, not far from the station, if Boddy's version is accurate, a sort of first aid station, where he went for dressings for injuries inflicted by the detectives. It was after that beating that Boddy took a step that may have a tremendous weight with the jury. He appealed to the parole officer to whom he had been, reporting for relief from the persecutions of the men of the 38th precinct. The parole officer referred him to Com missioner of Corrections Hamilton. The complaint Boddy wanted to make was that he had been beaten for some crime that had been committed while he was locked up on Blackwell's Island. He said he was beaten before he had a chance to tell this. When he explained he was released without apology. "They only kept me about an hour," finished Boddy. In adjourning court for the day Justice Wasservogel aid he would like to finish the taking of testimony today and might hold court until 6 o'clock or later. Other witnesses heard yesterday were Mrs. Ella Boddy, the defendant's mother, his two sisters and two young colored associates. The women testified that their brother as a youngster had been subject to opiotic fits. (New York Tribune.)

Richmond, Va. July 8, 1915. A perfect cure has been effected by L. J. Hayden's Pure Herb Medi- cines. After waiting thirteen years and have not suffered from the horrible disease, Gravel, I desire to make a statement to L. J. Hayden: Thirteen years ago twelve leading physicians of my city treated me for Kidney trouble and gravel without the desired benefit. These doctors advised me to be operated on, as that was the only chance for me. I was advised to go and get some of L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicine and try be fore being operated on. I did so, and in twenty four hours after using his medicines I passed at least a half dozen gravel, some as big as a large pea. Since that time I have not suffered with the gravel. I highly recommend L. J. Hayden's medicine to all suffering humanity. I am, J. A.

If Your Hair is Dry and Wiry Try EAST INDIA HAIR GROWER S. D. LYONS 316 North Central Oklahoma City. Oklahoma I was cured of a very bad case of Rheumatism by two bottles of L. J. Hayden's wonderful Herb Medicine, after suffering a long time with the dreadful disease. I was unable to move hand or foot, and after I had taken three doses of the medicine I was able to get out of my bed and walk across the floor, and only two bottles of the medicine has made me a perfectly well man in every respect. I cannot give Mr. L. J. Hayden too much praise for what he has done for me. I have sent many other suffering ones to him, and they have also gotten cured. My daughter was also cured of Rheumatism and Indigestion by L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicines at No. 220 W Broad Street, Richmond, Va. I recommand Mr. L. J. Hayden as one of the greatest healers of the sick on earth. Respectfully, J. D. TAYLOR, 2419 E. Grace St., Richmond, Va.
