THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia State Library, VOLUME XXXIX, NO.19 SENATOR OVERMAN ACCUSED OF WATCHING A MOB AT WORK The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue today made public a published accusation that Senator Overman of North Carolina had "looked interestedly on" during the lynching of three Negroes taken by a mob from the Rowan SCounty Jail in North Carolina. Senator Overman is a member of the Senate Committee on the Judiciary which is considering the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill, passed on January 25 by the House of Representatives. The charge against Senator Overman will be laid before that committee, the Advancement Association announced today. The charge against Senator Overman is taken from the Greensboro, N.C., Daily News of February 28, 1922, which says editorially: "Lynchings take place in North Cairo Hina, except in the very rarest instance whenever and whatever a mob has sufficient leadership with it to undertake them And Governor Morrison knows it. And the trash and off-scarrings of humanity which make up the personnel of these villainous murder-gangs most often are neither friends nor relatives 'of the entraged persons', and Governor Morrison knows that, What 'friends or relatives' either of the 'entraged persons' or of his excellence, who speaks so knowingly of mob habit's, broke into that Charlotte Hospital and lynched that vounded Negro? He doesn't know nor does anybody else. What friends and relatives of the Lyerlys broke into Rowan jail while Judge Long was there with a governor's high commission to hold a special court, took six Negroes from the jail, lynched three, and without interest enough to wear masks, save for the brute faces of the seven执行ers, and got away with it while Judge Long, Congressman Hammer, Congressman Klutt, and United States Senator Overman, Sheriff Julian, 13 special deputies and the Rowan Rifles looked interestedly on?" Senator Overman is reported to be bitterly opposed to the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. ANTOINETTE BROWN DEAD One of the most remarkable scenes ever witnessed in this city took place Monday, 13th inst., at the First Presbyterian Church when the funeral of Antoinette Brown an aged colored communicant of that Church took place. The procession drew up at the main entrance of this edifice something after 12 o'clock and Funeral Director Johnson, colored, hastened into the church just as though he was entering one of the colored places of worship, but only after he had held a brief conversation with one of the white officials. On the outside was Worthy Counsellor John Mitchell, Jr., with the members of Old Dominion Court, No. 114. Order of Calanthe, the female department of the Order of Knights of Fythias. WAITED ON THE OUTSIDE It was understood that they would gather on the out side and await the arrival of the funeral out side while the committee appointed for the parish went to the former residence of the deceased, and accompanied the funeral session. All arrangements having been completed the band of mourners moved up the center side of the church while the water Rey, Dr. F. T. McFahill led the way resting the burial services of the Church as he proceeded. Then followed the members of Old Dominion Court No. 114. They were seated on the right of the Church well to the front. Inside were many aristocrats looking communicant, the ladies being largely in evidence, many of whom had come in fine automobiles. AN IMPLESSIVE SERVICE Antioethte Brown was only a servant of the antebellum type, but there was no indication of this fact. The church choir was in its place and, appropriate selections were sung. Then Rev. Dr. McFoden proceeded with the services and he read念ions extracted from those parts of the Scriptures which had been favorites of the deceased. "The Lord is my Shepherd. I shall not want," was a part of this, while a whole chapter in which were the impressive words. "And there shall be no night there" were also read. He impressed his hearers with the fact that the services would consist only of simple Scripture reading and then the services would be concluded. A MEMBER OF THAT CHURCH But he disappointed every one in this respect for with this part of the services concluded, he delivered one of the most impressive funeral discourse, ever heard in this city, "She was a member of this Church," said he "for fifty years and she was a communicant here. We shall miss her." He paid a tribute to her worth and concluded after an extended peroration in a most impressive manner. During the half an hour or more, he commented upon the worth of the deceased as a member he made no reference to her race or color or to her relationship in the community as a servant. "She was a member of this Church," he emphasized and a blind man, sitting in that congregation would not have known, but what the humble woman, whose remains rested there was one of the most efficient and devout white members of the Church. A TOUCHING SOLO A solo was sung by one of the members of the choir, and as its melodies overheated from one end of that spacious office, to the other, the impression upon every one was one of solemn awe. Certainly, these people, led by this devout divine had set an example of Christ-like simplicity, in which all prejudices of the age were forgotten. This concluded, Rev. Dr. McPaden descended from the rostrum, assumed his place at the head of the funeral procession, but not before John Mitchell, Jr., had extended his hand to him and congratulated him upon his excellent service. Out to the front the procession moved and then this divine got into an automobile and accompanied the remains of Antoinette. Brown, the humble Presbyterian communicant to the cemetery. THE WHITE FOLKS INTERESTED There is a colored Presbyterian Church in this city, but it had been established by the white people long after Autoflette Brown had been accorded memberhip in this aristocratic looking Church on Grace street. Her remains had been brought from the neighborhood of respectable but squashed poverty. When Editor Mitchell visited the place, the holy, dark and stiff rested on an iron cannula bed, with scant furniture in the room and this of the cheapest quality. Her daughter could give no information, not even the name of the undertaker. All the information that could be obtained was "The white felsks are looking after it." And the white folks did look after it. They had not forgotten that she was a communicant of their Church. A LOGICAL CONCLUSION Floral emblems rested upon the coffin and sympathetic words were spoken en to the family. Those, who are disposed to think or believe that the line of demarcation between the white and the colored people of this locality is being intensified should look deeper and make a closer investigation. Thousands and tens of thousands of white men and women have put permit ted the politicians, and the prejudiced to upset and destroy the tender person at friendship which exists between the white and colored people and they are striving to carry out the teachings of the Master as spoken in His words. Then came to mind, the words of the Saviour: "As we have done it, unto these, the least of my little ones, we have done it unto Me." "And there will be no night there." THE AFRICAN EDUCATIONAL COMMISSION The return to this country, of the American members of the African Education Commission, to gather with their territorial reports and statements back in Europe and the United States, and the reception given these by the various governments and mission societies interested emphasize the significance of this well-planned and executed tour of inspection of our educational conditions among the natives of Africa. In its inception the result of cooperation between the Phleis Stokes Fund and the leading missionary society of the United States and Europe as well as the governments controlling colonies in Africa, it was carried on by its shannon, Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, Educational Director, of the Phleis Stokes Fund, and his associates, in the same spirit of sympathetic cooperation. This trip which beginning with Sierra Leone, extended all along the West Coast to South Africa and far in to the interior, including 2500 miles down the Congo, occupied ten months. It is interesting to note that already Belgian colonial office has had Commission's report translated into French and published complete without change, and that the Missionary Conference on the Congo Belge has adopted as a whole every recommendation made. Also there has been an educational awakening in every African colony visited by the Commission. Government directors and representatives of Mississippi boards are on the way to this country, and promising natives will be sent here during the next year to attend selected schools.

COLOR PREJUDICE KILLS COMPULSORY EDUCATIONAL BILL House Stands Up For Its Amendments, Allowing Local Authorities to Set Time When Compulsory Attendance Is Required—Conference Called. The House of Delegates, by a vote of 22 to 68, yesterday upheld the pleas of Delegates from the "black belt" and declined to concur in the Senate amendment to the compulsory education bill. The Senate cutting out the provisions of House bill No. 8, permitting local school authorities to decide the time when compulsory education should go into effect in the various counties. The Senate declined to recede from its amendments and each branch named a committee on conference which committees had the matter under discussion yesterday evening. Delegate Franklin Williams, patron of the House bill moved that the House adopt the Senate amendments. Opposition to adoption of the amendments was made by Delegate A. S. L. Adams, of Halifax who said that a student experience for fifteen years as a school trustee convinced him that the measures as reported by the Senate would bankrupt Halifax County. Delegate Marvin Smithey, of Brunswick said the bill with the Senate amendments was "revolutionary, patriotic and socialistic in the extreme." Pointing out that Speaker Brewner in his address at the opening of the session, had argued that the members go on compulsory education laws. Delegate Thomas W. Ozlin, of Lauenburg, appealed to the members of the House not to inflict the law upon the counties in the "black belt." He said it was a serious matter and not a theory with the people in the counties having a large Negro population. "Compulsory education means free schoolbooks," said Delegate J. M. Hurt of Nottoway who said if a man was forced to send his child or children to school and didn't have the money to do so, that the State would have to furnish the books. Mr. Hurt urged that the bill he made local option, and closed with the words, "I pray you if you have any appreciation for the people of our section, to vote down these amendments." "If we pass the bill with the Senate amendments it will be one of the greatest disgraces to the State," said Delegate Parke P. Deane of Isle of Wight County, who said he wanted the Negro to get an education, but he wanted each county to have the authority to say whether the county was financially able to enforce the law. AGAINST SENATE AMENDMENTS Delegates Turner, of Bedford; Jeffrees of Mecklenburg; Gordon of Louisa; and Keezell, of Rockingham, spoke against the Senate amendments. In support of the bill Delegate Charles R. Warren of Pittsylvania, said the House had devoted a greater part of this session to moral legislation and hold that the greatest moral legislation is that which not only takes away things a man should not have, but gives to the subjects of the State the things they should have. He said: "I consider this an opportunity for this House to correct the mistake which I will die thinking you made by your vote on this bill a few days ago." He urged the importance of education and said that the children of Virginia are mouthing the mother State which is dry. Patron Williams, said the bill was safeguarded; that the Senate bill excluded private and parochial schools two miles provisions; and that the Senate amendments took care of the Keezell amendment and provisions that children may be excused from enrollment and school attendance. He said these were 100,000 white children and 50,000 colored children of school age in Virginia not in schools and that it was "an eternal shame to forever penalize the 100,000 white children because a few colored children would be benefited." He said that the people of the State had voted by 100,000 majority for compulsory education and be urged that the Senate amendments be adoited. The roll called developed 68 in opposition to the amendments and the bill went to conference. (Times-Dispatch, March 10, 1922.)

MONROE, 773 S. 20th St. FORMER HAITIAN MINISTER FRANCE INVRIES IN N. Y. Reports Imprisonment of Editor by Marines and Demands Abolition of Martial Law in Haiti. Georges Sylvain, former Haitian Minister to France, Officer of the Legion of Honor, Officer of Public Instruction in France, who recently arrived in New York, today announced he had received word from his country of the imprisonment for 6 months at hard labor of Phiteas Lemaire, editor of the Courier Haitien, a newspaper published in Port au Prince. In a statement at the offices of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, Mr. Sylvain said: "Mr. Lemaire publisher of the Courier Haitien was tried before a military court of the American Occupation in Haiti on the 23st of February of this year and was sentenced to six months at hard labor and a fine of $300 on the 4th of March for having received a and published a news item tolling of a brutal attack upon a citizen by a fraternity Heuttenant of Gendarmerie. "The Courier Haitian," as its only comment on this story, said it was difficult to believe such acts could still be perpetrated in sight and knowledge of the entire population. Nothing sent to me in the report of what occurred before the military court, indicates that Mr. Lemaire was convinced that a false rumor had been spread or that there had been any refusal on his part to retract in the event the rumor might prove to have been false. "The worst feature of the imprisonments under martial law in Haiti is that the officers concerned are both judges and parties to the trials; and the hard labor invariably accompanying prison sentences has to be executed in company with the worst criminals." "That is why we insist upon the immediate abolition of martial law in Haiti." --- Dr. Kelly Miller will speak at the City Auditorium, Sunday, March 29 at 3:30 P. M.

March 8—Maceo Brooks 23 colored, was murdered and her body placed on the railway tracks about a mile north of the station here early Tuesday night. The body was found by C. B. Glasecock, who was on his way to his home a short distance beyond. He hurried home and was returning with his brother when a train was heard to stop, and thinking the reew had found the body the two men returned home. Subsequent events proved that the train stopped to enter a siding and that the body was not seen, as it was in a curve of the track and every train passing from then until morning ran over it, mutilating it horribly. A colored man said to have been intimate with the murdered woman was arrested this morning, as a suspect but was turned loose after a coroner's jury failed to find evidence connecting him with the crime In Memoriam South Richmond, Va., March 13.

Out Status of Anti-Lynching Measure, Boston, Mass. z The activities of the National Equal Rights League has revealed the present status of the Dyer anti-lynching bill before the Judiciary Committee and has caused determined renewed action on the part of the League to work for the final passage of this bill by the Senate. According to a letter received by Vm. Monroe Tr. Trader, Recording Sectory of the League, from Senator Eunice Nelson, Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, in reply to the letter sent by the League last week on closing a prayer for the Dyer Bill by a survivor of the Tulsa measure in the person of A. J. Smitherman, former publisher of the Tulsa Star, the Dyer Bill is now in the hands of a subcommittee of which Senator William E. Borch is chairman. This subcommittee has evidently lost sight of this particular bill in the accumulation of other more "pressing matters" but Senator Nelson says it is the purpose of the subcommittee to take up the matter for "hearing and study" as soon as possible. The letter in full follows: United States Senate, Committee on The Judiciary, March. 9, 1922. Mr. William Monroe Trotter. Coe. See National Equal Rights League League 41 Glenhill Rangers Mans 34 Cornish, Boston, Mass. Dear Sir—I am in receipt of your letter o the 7th instant and enclosure relating to the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, H. R. I3, which is now before this committee. The bill has been referred to a subcommittee of which Senator William E. Borah is Chairman; the other members being Senator Dillingham, Sterling, Oversman and Shelds. Your communication will be referred to the subcommittee for its information. I believe the subcommittee has not as yet been able to take the matter up as there are so many other pressing matters of long standing that have demanded attention. It is the purpose of the committee to take the matter up for hearings and study as soon as it is possible to do so. The National Equal Rights League officials feel that renewed activities should be launched by the Colored people of the country urging Senator Borah and his subcommittee to render an early and favorable report of the Dyer Bill. The Smitherman prayer was endorsed at the Crispus Attacks Monument on the Boston Common and at a mass meeting in the 12th Baptist Church, under the auspices of the National Equal Rights League in observance of Citizenship Foundation Day, commemorating the birth of American Independence and the death of its first martyr.

Lee, the extension secretary of the National Urban League, who is in the city in an endeavor to raise $500.00 for the National Urban League, should find a response from every citizen of Richmond for two reasons. First, Because the National Urban League is doing a most needed unprecedented work among the thousands of Negroes who have gone North in finding for them places to work and improving their housing and health conditions. Second. Richmond citizens should take special pride in this work, because it has been carried on and built up now for eleven years, by one of Richmond's own sons, Mr. Eugene Kinckle Jones, who is the National Executive Secretary, Mr. Jones, since going out from us has been doing a nation-wide service. Surely Richmond citizens must be proud of him and will give Mr. Lee a response which will be indicative of this pride. --- —Mrs. Mary Henley, daughter of Mrs. Ann Taylor, is quite sick, but residence, 1114 Catherine Street.

CABLES PROTESTS AGAINST ARREST OF GHANDI Ten thousand Negroes, assembled in Liberty Hall, 120 W. 133th street, New York City, last night under the leadership of Marcus Garvey, authorized the sending of the following cables to King George V of England and his Prime Minister on the vexed issue of the arrest of Mahatma Ghandi, the non-cooperationist leader of India, Mr. Garvey a Provisional President of Africa pledged the support of 400,000,000 Negroes to the support of Ghandi in the cause of a Free India. The Resolutions that authorized the sending of the cables were carried with acclamation. He rose to speak amidst thunderous applause and commented on the arrest of Ghandi as follows. "News has come to us that India's great leader, Mahatma Gandhi, has been arrested for the purpose of advocating 'cause of' 380 million Indians—the cause of the freedom of his country. He has been arrested by an alien Government that seeks to disrupt to destroy the freedom of 380 million Indians of people. You are well acquainted with the work of Gandhi. For twenty-five years Gandhi has been agitating the cause of his countrymen. Within the last three years he became very active. He organized a movement that has swept the entire country of India—movement that has unified the different states of India that have been short for centuries. The British people are now feeling the pressure of Gandhi's propaganda. It is customary of them to suppress the cause of liberty. It is customary to execute and imprison the leaders of the cause of liberty everywhere. Therefore, Gandhi's arrest is nothing unexpected to those of us who understand what leadership means. "Leadership means sacrifice; leadership means martyrdom. Hundreds of thousands of men as leaders have died in the past for the freedom of their country; the emancipation of their reclusive peoples, and we will expect nothing else from Gandhi but that self- APPRECIATION SERVICE An appreciation service in honor of the 31 years of service of Rev.

WE SERVE- INFORM -ADVERTISE VOLUME XXXIX, NO.19 SENATOR OVERMAN ACCUSED OF WATCHING A MOB AT WORK The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue today made public a published accusation that Senator Overman of North Carolina had "looked interestedly on" during the lynching of three Negroes taken by a mob from the Row an County Jail in North Carolina Senator Overman is a member of the Senate Committee on the Judiciary which is considering the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill, passed on January 28 by the House of Representatives. The charge against Senator Overman will be laid before that committee, the Advancement Association announced today. The charge against Senator Overman is taken from the Greenwich N. C., Daily News of February 28, 1922, which says ediatedly: "Lynchings take place in North Carolina, except in the very rare instances whenever and whatever a mob has sufficient leadership with it to undertake them And Governor Morrison knows it. And the trash and off-scruits of humanity which make up the personnel of these villainous murder-gangs most often are neither friends nor relatives' of the outraged persons, and Governor Morrison knows that, the friends or relatives' either of the outraged persons, or the money, who speaks so knowing of moth huthits, broke into that Charlotte Hospital tal and lynched that wounded Negro? He doesn't know nor does anybody else. What friends and relatives of the Lyerlys broke into Rowan jail while Judge Long was there with a governor's high commission to hold a special court, took six Negroes from the jail, lynched three, and without interest enough to wear masks, save for the brute faces of the several executionerens and got away with white huthits Long, Congressman Hammer, Congressman Klutz, and United States Commissioner Owman, Sheriff Julian, 13 special deputies and the Rowan Rifles looked interestedly on?" Senator Overman is reported to be bitterly opposed to the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. ANTOINETTE BROWN DEAD. One of the most remarkable scenes ever witnessed in this city took place Monday, 13th inst., at the First Presbyterian Church when the funeral of Antoinette Brown an aged colored communicant of that Church took place. The procession drew up at the main entrance of this edifice something after 12 o'clock and Funeral Director Johnson, colored, hastened into the church just as though he was entering one of the colored places of worship, but only and he had held a brief conversation with the minister. On the outside was Worthy. Consequently Mitchell, Jr., with the members of Old Dominion Court, No. 114 Order of Calanthe, the female department of the Order of Knights of Pythias. WAITED ON THE OUTSIDE It was understood that they would gather on the outside and await the arrival of the funeral cortex, while the committee appointed, for the purpose to the former residence of the deceased and accompanied the funeral occasion. All arrangements have been completed, the band of mourners moved up the center side of the church, while the pastor, Rev. Dr. F. T. McFadon on led the way reciting the burial services of the Church as he proceeded. Then followed the members of Old Lady Catherine, who followed on the right of the Church well to the front. Inside were many aristocrat if looking communicants, the ladies being largely in evidence, many of whom had come in fine automobiles. AN IMPRESSIVE SERMON Antoinette Brown was only a servant of the ante-bellum type, but there was no indication of this fact. The church choir was in its place and apprimate selections were sung. Then the proceedings proceeded with the services and the choir from those parts of the Scriptures, which had been favorites of the deceased. "The Lord is my Shepherd. I shall not want." was a part of this, while a whole chapter in which were the impressive words, "And there shall be no night there were also read. He imitated them with the fact that the services would be only of simple Scripture reading and then the services would be concluded. A MEMBER OF THAT CHURCH But he disappointed every one in this respect for with this part of the services concluded, he delivered one of the most impressive funeral discourses ever heard in this city, "She was a member of this Church," said he "for fifty years and she was a communicant here. We shall miss her." He paid a tribute to her worth and concluded after an extended peroration in a most impressive manner. During the hall an hour or more, he commented upon the worth of the deceased as a member he made no reference to her race or her color or to her relationship in the community as a servant. "She was a member of this Church," he emphasized, with attention, that congregation would not have known, but what the humble woman, whose remains rested there was one of the most efficient and devout white members of the Church. A TOUCHING SOLO A solo was sung by one of the members of the choir and as its inclusions reverberated from one end of that spacious edifice, to the other, the impression upon every one was one of solemn awe. Certainly, these people, led by this devout divine had set an example of Christ-like simplicity, in which all prejudices of the age were forgotten. This concluded, Rev. Dr. McFaden descended from the rostrum, assumed his place at the head of the funeral procession, but not before Mitchell, Jr., had extended his hand to him and communicated him upon his excellent mon. Out to the front the procession moved and then this divine got into an automobile and accompanied the remains of Autonette Brown, the humble Presbyterian communient to the cemetery. THE WHITE FOLKS INTERESTED There is a colored Presbyterian Church in this city, but it had been established by the white people long after Antiolette Brown had been recorded membership in this aristocratic looking Church on Grace street. Her remalns had been brought from the city to the village in poverty. When Editor Mitchell visit ed the place, the body, stark and stiff rested on an iron trundle bed, with scant furniture in the room and this of the cheapest quality. Her daughter's could give no information, not even the name of the undertaker. All the information that could be obtained was, she looked looking after it." And the white folklore after it. They had not forgotten that she was a communicant of their Church. A LOGICAL CONCLUSION Floral emblems rested upon the coffin and sympathetic words were spoken on to the family. Those, who are disposed to think or believe that the line of demarcation between the white and the colored people of this locality is being intensified should look deeper and make a closer investigation. Thousands and tens of thousands of white men and women have not permitted the politicians and the prejudiced to upset and destroy the tender person friendship which exists between the white and colored people and they are striving to understand the teachings of the Master as spoken in this book. Then came to mind, the words of the Saviour: "As ye have done it, unto these, the least of my little ones, ye have done it unto Me." "And there will he no night there." THE AFRICAN EDUCATIONAL COMMISSION The return to this country, of the American members of the African Educational Commission'on, to gather with their preliminary reports and statements both in Europe and the United States, and the reception given these by the various governments and missionary societies interested, emphasizes the significance of this well-planned and executed tour of inspection of present educational conditions among the natives of Africa. In its inception the result of co-operation between the Phelps-Stokes Fund and the leading missionary societies of the United States and Europe, as well as the governments controlling colonies in Africa, it was carried on by its chairman, Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, Educational Director, of the Phelps-Stokes Fund, and his associates, in the spirit of sympathetic co-operation. This trip which, beginning with Sierra Leone, extended all along the West Coast to South Africa and far in to the interior, including 2500 miles down the Congo, occupied ten months. It is interesting, to note that already Belgian colonial office has had Commission's report translated into French and published complete without change, and that the Missionary Conference on the Congo Belge has adopted as a whole every recommendation made. Also there has been an educational awakening in every African colony via the Commission. Government directors and representatives of Mission boards are on the way to this country, and promising natives will go sent here during the next year to attend selected schools. (Southern Workman.) RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, MARCH 18, 1922 VA, COLOR PREJUDICE KILLS COMPULSORY EDUCATIONAL BILL House Stands Up For Its Amendment, Allowing Local Authorities to Set Time When Compulsory Attendance Is Required—Conference Called. The House of Delegates, by a vote of 28 to 68, yesterday uphold the pleas of Delegates from the "black belt" and delegates to convenr the Senate amendment to the compulsory education bill, the Senate cutting out the provisions of House bill No. 8, permitting local school authorities to decide the time when compulsory education should go into effect in the various counties. The Senate declined to recede from its amendments and each branch named a committee on conference which cultivated and planned under discussion yesterday evening. Delegate Franklin Williams, patron of the House bill moved that the House adopt the Senate amendments. Opposition to adoption of the annu- mentate was made by Delegate A. S. L. Adams, of Halifax who said that his experience for fifteen years as a school trustee convinced him that the measure as reported by the Senate would be banned by the House. Delegate Marvin Smithey, of Brunswick sided the bill with the Senate amendments was 'revolutionary, paternalistic and socialistic in the extreme.' Pointing out that Speaker Brewer in his address at the opening of the session had urged that the members go slow on compulsory education laws Delegate Thomas W. Ozlin, of Lunenburg, appealed to the members of the House not to inflict the law upon the community. Delegate Thomas was a serious matter and not a theory with the people in the counties having a large Negro population. "Compulsory education means free schoolbooks," said Delegate J. M. Hurt of Nottoway who said if a man was forced to send his child or children to school and didn't have the money to do so, that the State would have to furnish the books. Mr. Hurt urged that the bill he made local option, and closed with the words, "I pray you if you have any appreciation for the people of our section, to vote down these amendments." "If we pass the bill with the Senate amendments it will be one of the greatest disregards to the State," said Delegate Parke P. Deane of Isle of Wight County, who said he wanted the Negro to get an education, but he wanted each county to have the authority to say whether the county was financially able to enforce the law. AGAINST SENATE AMENDMENTS Delegates Turner, of Bedford; Jeffreys of Mecklenburg; Gordon of Louise; and Keezell, of Rockingham, spoke against the Senate amendments. In support of the bill Delegate Charles R. Warren of Pittsburgh, said the House had devoted a greater part of this session to moral legislation and held that the greatest moral legislation is that which not only takes away things a man should not have, but the subjects of the State the things they should have. He said: "I consider this a opportunity for this House to correct the mistake which I will die thinking I am not your vote on this bill a few days ago." He urged the importance of education and said that the children of Virginia are mouthing the mother State which is dry. Patron Williams said the bill was safeguarded; that the Senate bill excluded private and parochial schools for mills provisions and that the Senate amendments took care of the Keezell amendment and provides that chill may be excused from enrollment and school attendance. He said there were 100,000 children and 50,000 colored children of school age Virginia not in schools and that it was "an eternal shame to forever penalize the 100,000 white children because a few colored children would be benefited." He said that the people of the State had voted by 10,0000 majority for compulsory education and he urged that the Senate amendments be adopted. The roll called developed 68 in opposition to the amendments and the bill went to conference. (Times-Dispatch, March 10, 1922.)

Reports Imprisonment of Editor by Marines and Demands Abolition of Martial Law in Haiti, Georges Sylvain, former Haltian Minister to France, Officer of the Legion of Honor, Officer of Public Instruction in France, who recently arrived in New York, today announced he had received word from his country of the imprisonment for 6 months at hard labor of Phitec Lemure, editor of the Courier Haltian, a newspaper published in Port-au-Prince. At the offices of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Filii Avenue, New York, Mr. Sylvain said. "Mr. Lemure publisher of the Courier Haltian was tried before a military court of the American Occupation. In Halti on the 21st of February of this year and was sentenced to six months at hard labor and a fine of $300 c an the 4th of March for having received and published a news item telling of a brutal attack upon a citizen by a Haltien Heutnant of Gendarmerie. "The Courier Hattian," as its only comment on this story, said it was difficult to believe such acts could still be perpetrated in sight and knowledge of the entire population. Nothing sent to me in the report of what occurred before the military court, indicates that Mr. Lemaire was convinced that a false rumor had been spread or that there had been any refusal on his part to retract in the event that the rumor might prove to have been false. "The worst feature of the imprisonments under martial law in Hattii is that the officers concerned are both judges and parties to the trial, and the hard labor invariably accompanying prison sentences has to be executed in company with the worst criminals. "That is why we insist upon the immediate abolition of martial law in Hattii." Dr. Kelly Miller will speak at the City Auditorium, Sunday, March 26 at 3:30 P. M.

March 8—Macro Brooks 23 colored, was murdered and her body placed on the railway tracks about a mile north of the station here early Tuesday night. The body was found by C. B. Glascock, who was on his way to his home a short distance beyond. He hurried home and was returning with his brood when a train was heard to stop, and thinking the reew had found the body the two men returned home. Subsequent events proved that the train stopped to enter a siding and that the body was not seen, as it was in a curve of the track and every train passing from then until morning ran over it, mutilating it horribly. A color man said to have been intimate with the murdered woman was arrested this morning as suspect but was turned loose after a coroner's jury failed to find evidence connecting him with the crime In Memoriam.

DYER ANTI-LYNCHING BILL IN THE HANDS OF SENATOR BORAH National Equal Rights League Finds Out Status of Anti-Lynching Measure, Boston, Mass. z The activities of the National Equal Rights League has revealed the present status of the Dyer anti-lynching bill before the Judiciary Committee and has caused determined renewed efforts on the part of the League to work out a final passage of this bill by the Senate. According to a letter received by Wm. Monroe Trader, Recording Secretary of the League, from Senator Knute Nelson, Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee in reply to the letter sent by the League last week en closing a prayer for the Dyer Bill by a survivor of the Tulsa measure in the person of A. J. Smitherman, former publisher of the Tulsa Star, the Dyer Bill is now to the hands of a sub-committee of which Senator William E. Borah is chairman. This sub-committee has evidently lost sight of this particular bill in the accumulation of other noteworthy legislation, but Senator Nelson says it is the purpose of the subcommittee to take up the matter for "hearing and study" as soon as possible. The letter in full follows: United States Senate, Committee on The Judiciary, March, 9, 1922. Mr. William Monroe Trotter. 34 Cornhill, Boston, Mass. Dear Sir—I am in receipt of your letter o the 7th instant and enclosure relating to the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, H. R. 13, which is now before this committee. The bill has been referred to a subcommittee of which Senator William E. Borah is Chairman the other members are Chairman, Sterling, Overman, Shields. Your communication will be referred to the subcommittee for its information. I believe the subcommittee has not as yet been able to take the matter up as there are so many other pressing matters of long standing that have demanded attention. It is the purpose of the committee to take the matter up for hearings and study as soon as it is possible to do so. The National Equal Rights League officials feel that renewed activities should be launched by the Colored people of the country urging Senator Borah and his subcommittee to render an early and favorable report of the Dyer Bill. The Smitherman prayer was endorsed at the Crispus Attacks Monument on the Boston Common and at a mass meeting in the 12th Baptist Church, under the auspices of the National Equal Rights League in observance of Citizenship Foundation Day, commemorating the birth of American Independence and the death of its first martyr.

Lee, the extension secretary of the National Urban League, who is in the city in an endeavor to raise $500.00 for the National Urban League, should find a response from every citizen of Richmond for two reasons. First. Because the National Urban League is doing a most needed unprecedented work among the thousands of Negroes who have gone North in finding for them places to work and improving their housing and health conditions. Second. Richmond citizens should take special pride in this work, because it has been carried on and built now for eleven years, by one of Richmond's own sons, Mr. Eugene Kinchele Jones, who is the National Executive Secretary. Mr. Jones, since going out from us has been doing a nation-wide career. Surely Richmond citizens must be proud of him and will give Mr. Lee a response which will be indicative of this pride. —Mrs. Mary Henley, daughter of Mary and John Henley, residence, 1144 Catherine Street, Surprise Party A surprise party was given Friday night, March 11, 1922 by the girls and boys of South Richmond, in honor of 11, Kirkland Coghill, at his residence, 114 E.

White, the head of the American Woodmen and one of the foremost business and fraternal men of the country was instructively entertained at Slaughter's Cafe on North Second Street by a representative group of Richmond's leading business men of color. He was the uncleo given for him, our business men gave in the after-dinner talks some valuable information relative to our people and our progress in this section. Mr. B. L. Jordan was the toastmaster for the occasion and he handled the affair in a masterly manner. Mr. White, the honored guest, gave a brief but instructive talk. In speaking of our race in putting over any kind of business proposition he said, among other things, "The men need to make for success, are knowledge of our business one handes, necessary capital and confidence." Mr. White was greatly pressed with the progress along all lines, of our people in Richmond RACE - COUNTRY - WORLD NEWS PRICE, FIVE CENT U. N. I. A. CABLES PROTESTS AGAINST ARREST OF GHANDI Ten thousand Negroes, assembled in Liberty Hall, 120 W. 138th street, New York City, last night under the leadership of Marcus Garvey, authorized the sending of the following cables to King George V of England and his Prince Minister on the vexed issue of the arrest of Mahatma Ghandi, the non-cooperationist leader of India. Mr. Garvey as Provisional President of Africa pledged the support of 400,000,000 Negroes to the support of Ghandi in the arrest of Mahatma Ghandi in India. The Resolution that authorized the sending of the cables were carried with acclamation. He rose to speak amidst thunderous applause and commented on the arrest of Ghandi as follows. "News has come to us that India's great leader, Mahatman Ghandi, has been arrested for the purpose of advocating the cause of 380 million Indians—the cause of the freedom of his country. He has been arrested by an alien Government that seeks to disrupt, to destroy the freedom of 380 million Indians of people. You are well acquainted with the work of Ghandi. For twenty-five years Ghandi has been agitating the cause of his countrymen. Within the last three years he became very active. He organized a movement that has swept the entire country of India. His movement that has united the different castes of India that have been amur for centuries. The British people are now feeling the pressure of Ghandi's organization. It is customary of them to suppress the cause of liberty. It is customary to exert and imprison the leaders of the cause everywhere. Therefore, Ghandi's rest is nothing unexpected to those of us who understand what leadership means. "Ladership means sacrifice; leadership means martyrdom." Hundreds of thousands of men as leaders have died the past for the freedom of their country, in the form of their reactive—people, and we have nothing else from Ghandi but that self (Continued on Second Page.)

Good white folks are multiplying and bad colored folks are multiplying also. Being polite to white folks is a natural sequence of being polite to colored folks. Some folks like to be praised, but they are unwilling to pay the one who is doing the praising. You cannot build up a great institution by talking alone. Many of us know this to our sorrow. Imitating the good in the white folks is all right. Imitating the bad in this same class of people is all wrong. Some people believe in assisting worthy people and some other people do not believe in assisting anyone. Publishing a newspaper is a gratifying pastime with some people until pay day comes and the people, who owe the concern stay away. People, who believe they are doing a colored journal a favor by sending free matter concerning themselves are no help to the profession. Some people, boast that they follow nobody, but themselves. It is often an evident fact that these kind of people are still following nobody. Bert Williams, the comedian left behind him many friends. It is evident that at his age of life, he did not want to go. --- Some people have formed the habit of cursing every time they speak. It indicates low breeding and the person practicing the habit will not get any where on this earth and will slide down to the "hot place", when their time comes to go the way of all the earth. --- It is generally conceded that the Hon. William J. Bryan wants to go to the United States Senate. This is where he should be. There he can have his powers for unlimited talk exercised and he can also show to the country that he is also a liv proposition when it comes to keeping himself before the American people. Were he in the Roman Catholic Church, he would be a Cardinal and were he in the Episcopal Church, he would be a Bishop. As it is, he is still the great Commoner. RATIFICATION OF THE TREATY The argument now taking place in the United States over the Arms Conference pact is only for political purposes. It will be ratified. When Hon. Oscar Underwood was named as a member of the Conference and he was the recognized leader of the Democratic minority in the Senate, he was in honor bound to furnish enough votes from his side of the chamber to bring about ratification and his party associates were in honor bound to support him. It was presumed that he kept them posted relative to every phase of this international deliberation. President Harding is a man of ability when it comes to exercising horse-sense, so to speak and he is not slow to take the best advantage of an embarrassing situation. We do not think that there is any doubt about the ratification of the four powers treaty by the United States Senate. MR. GILPIN'S EMBARRASSMENT The experience of Mr. Charles S. Gilpin on the Pennsylvania Railroad Wednesday, March 15 while enroute to Winchester, Va. must have been embarrassing indeed. life had entered the State in a passenger car from a State that showed no racial discrimination. Seated with the white actors in the party, he was told to get up and go to the other end of the train. He did so under protest and at the next station left the train and took automobiles for Winchester. As we understand it, had he been located in the section of the train at the outset, this embarrassment would not have taken place, but the company could not do this in a State which had no "Jim Crow" laws. We have always held that a train moving from one State to another was not subject to the local regulations of the States, but rather to the rules and regulations governing interstate travel. If this will be utilized as a case to be brought before the Interstate Commerce Commission, it may be that these embarrassing conditions will not obtain. The train conductor was left with no alternative in the matter, although, he may have been the victim of much criticism and some abuse. The trouble is with the class of people, now in control at Richmond and Washington. If Mr. Gilpin had borrowed the uniform from the porter, it might have been that he could have remained in any part of the train, he saw fit. But riding as "a man of means," the star in a celebrated play, he must be made to feel the full force and effect of the Virginia "Jim Crow" car law. RACE PREJUDICE AT WASH INGTON. In gauging the attitude of Presidents after they have been installed in the White House of the Nation, it would be well to take note of the fact that the headquarters of the Anti-Negro organization is at Washington and that the War Department is the hot-bed of this kind of Negro-phobia. Prior to their election, practically every President of the United States, Democrat as well as Republican have spoken kindly of the Negroes of the country and have promised to see that he is secured in his civil and political rights. This included the recognition of the citizens of color in the matter of political office. After these statesmen had become installed in office, their attempts to carry out their pre-election pledges have been met with bitter opposition. President Grover Cleveland was the most obdurate in dealing with this class of people. They found out that he said what he meant, and that he meant what he said. Then came the brilliant and dearly beloved Theodore Roosevelt. He was importuned to robuff the Negroes and he gave that famous, ringing reply, "All men up, rather than some men down". But he qualified his equal rights declaration by pointing to the fact that in the sum total he had appointed fewer colored men to office than any of his Republican predecessors. President Woodrow Wilson had the time of his life in dealing with this embarrassing question. He had made "promises to the ear, to be broken to the hope". He could not rise above his surroundings and Bishop Alexander Walters, who followed him into the Democratic Party and waged a most relentless campaign in behalf of his candidacy may be said to have died, from a political stand-point a heartbroken man. Personally, President Wilson was all right, but he was forced to subject his personal desires to the demands of party expediency. His pre-election promises "went down to rise no more". All over the country, his black followers, are virtuously wandering about in a wilderness. Then came the popular idol from Ohio, the reputed bosom friend of Senator J. B. Foraker. His addresses were outspoken and they breathed the essence of true greatness and transient statesmanship. Colored people were assured that they would be recognized as full-fledged citizens of this Republic. Millions believed in him and his triumphal entrance into the White House signified that the wish of the Nation regardless of race, color or previous conditions had been gratified. Then came the anti-Negro combine at Washington. For days and weeks, they assailed the distinguished Chief Executive of the Nation. Citizens, with the full accountments and equipments of the Democratic Party came to him with their troubles and led him to believe that the support of him was due to his transcendent ability as a statesman and to the principles of the party to which he belonged with the exception of that part of the Republican foundation, which accorded to the Negroes of the country all of their rights and privileges as citizens. If he could find a way to get around that stumbling block, their residence THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA inside of the confines of the Republican organization would be secured and they would remain on this reservation forever more. As a matter of fact, this hegira or flight from the Democratic Party was due to petty spite and to party spleen. They came to rebuke Hon. Woodrow Wilson and his cohorts with the hope that under other management, they would be able to return to the Democratic reservation and abode for ever more. They simply wanted to be in a position to say to the Democratic bosses, "I told you, so," to the end that they would see the evil of their ways and bid the prodicals to return to the Party and live if success should crown their efforts in the next campaign upon the "fat of the lamb". In the meantime, the "Old Guard" of the Republican Party, composed of white men and black men, who had served for years in behalf of the desiplised organization and had experienced ostracism and abuse on account of their espousal of Republican Party principles looked on with wonder. It not with awe awaiting the decision to be handed down from Mount Sinai, better known to the profane as the White House at Washington. It came The new found Republicans, wearing Democratic equipments and uniform won and they were installed in the seats of the "righteous" given dominion over all of the Federal office in the Southland. Party rules and regulations were disregarded and the edict went forth that the new plan would be "tried out". It is being "tried out" and the decision next. November will be taken as an indication of the force and effect of these new found allies' presence inside of the army lines of the Republican Party of the Nation. As for the Negroes of the Southland, they have been forced in the background, but not without some misgivings as tens of thousands of southern Negroes are now in the Northland, whereas a few years ago, this same class of people were in the Southland. Moreover, this same class of people, thanks to the southern schools can read and write and thanks to the information given, they can vote. They have mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers in the Southland to protect and now southern Democrats of the Old School are not frowning at these Negroes, they are on the contrary smiling at them. The places left vacant by the flight of the white Democrats can be filled by colored folks as well as by white folks and when the time comes, two Negroes can be counted for every white man, whose seat is vacant. This is the embarrassing part of the situation and just now, the Republican political managers are losing much sleep trying to figure it all out. The large number of office-seeking Democrats, who have been provided for are crowding out a larger number of Republican office seekers, who cannot be provided for and "there ye are". This is President Warren G. Harding's problem. He has recently taken sniffs of invigorating southern afr. in order to enable him to face the situation. He has shown 'transcendent ability to deal with discordant elements. He is smiling to all comers, but he is realizing now 'to its fullest extent, the truth of the axiom.

The theory that Kid Norfolk was knocked out by a phantom blow from the celebrated Nova Scotia ghost, was dispelled yesterday when Harry Wills took his right hand to Bellevue Hospital to have it X-rayed. Wills is quite certain that he cracked the fist against something on the night he fought Kid Norfolk, though many unkind critics maintain that the wallop which caused Kid Norfolk to give his own impersonation of Miss Annette Kellerman was an invisible one. The investigators of psychic phenomena on the return from Nova Scotia were contemplating keeping watch near the ring at Madison Square Garden to observe spirit left jabs and ghostly right hooks. They determined upon this when many trained observers started to credit the knockout of Kid Norfolk to spirit influences or rapings. A ghost who packed a punch of that weight might be materialized and turned in to championship contender. (New York Herald.) WANTED—A SETTLED WOMAN. One capable of doing house work. Good country home.

Petersburg, Va., March 8—A well-devised burglar alarm cost two lives early this morning, when B. B. Gwaltney of Disputania about fifteen miles from here, shot and instantly killed 2 colored burglar, who attempted to break in the store of his father, B. F. Gwaltney between 1 and 2 o'clock. The men were killed with buckshot and a load from one barrel killed both burglar. Mr. Gwaltney said today that he had noticed the men in his vicinity for several days and had warned them to keep away from Gwaltney's store, as it was fully entrapped with the burglar alarm system. MADE ATTEMPT SUNDAY Sunday n'ight Mr. Gwaltney said the same men attempted to break in the store, but were frightened away before he could get a chance to shoot at them. Early th's morning the alarm, which is connected with the Gwaltney home about 100 feet from the store, started to ring, and B. B. Gwaltney with his father, spring from his bed and grabbed a double-barrel shotgun. As the two reached the side of the store they saw the men make adash for the road, but the load of shot stopped both men in their tracks. They were instantly killed. Mr. Gwaltney said he pulled the trigger of the right-hand barrel, but the car caused the other barrel to go off. However, he is confident that both men were killed by the load from the right-hand barrel, as the direction in which they were running would have prevented the shot from the left-hand barrel from striking them. Fourteen shots entered the left side o f one of the men while the other was shot directly in the center of the back. INSTALLS BURGLAR ALARM The Gwaltney store had been robbed several times before, which caused Mr. Gwaltney to install the burglar alarm in his house. The two burglaries were buried this afternoon about one mile from the scene of the shooting. A coroner's jury, composed of E. S. Hatch, E. T. Madbera, G. W. Bain, W. E. Edwards, C. M. Stone and J. H. Wilkerson exonerated Mr. Gwaltney of all blame. Justice of the Peace J. H. Hatch is acting coroner. Mr. Gwaltney is an expert marksman, having served with the One Hundred and Sixteenth Infantry, Twenty ninth Division for eleven months overseas. He is well known and hold in high esteem. The burglaries had been warned by Mr. Gwaltney, Sr., a few days ago when they were loafing around his store. He told them that he "did not want any foolishness around here," as his store was protected with a burglar alarm. (Richmond, Va., Times-Dispatch Ma. 9, 1922.) CIVIL WAR IS FACED BY SOUTH AFRICA IN GENEAL STRIKE --- Johannesburg, Union of South Africa, March 12.—A shot was fired at the automobile containing General Jan Christian Snuts, the Premier today, as he was being driven toward the Rand near Potchesfstrom. The Premier was not hurt, although a bullet struck the car. MANY PRISONERS CAPTURED Johannesburg, March 12.—Two troops have captured 1,500 revolutionists at Sophiatown and Brixton Ridge, besides clearing the neighboring ridges an important achievement, as the actions were strong and the rebel occupation presented grave menace. Airplanes dropped thirty-two bombs on revolutionists surrounding a party of police in the Brixton area, causing numerous casualties and scattering the others, many of whom surrendered. The government issued a long compnunication this afternoon, declaring the operations were proceeding very satisfactorily, and that strong forces were rapidly converging. AT LEAST 100 KILLED At least 100 persons are believed to have been killed in Saturday's fighting here, and the wounded will reach a much larger number. Desperate efforts are being made by the commandos to gain control of the town before the forces under Major-General Sir J. L. Van Deventer and Brigadier-General Conrad Brits can arrive. Only the northern part of Johannesburg is free of the commandos. The fighting for the most part takes the form of sniping, there being only occasional volleys. The only government forces to be seen are those guarding the City Hall. BURNS POLICE STATION The striking miners are reported to have burned the police station at Fordsburg. A communique from Pretoria says large numbers of troops will be available shortly and that recruiting is going on at a satisfactory pace, although many evidently fail to realize the seriousness of the situation. Capteau dispatches say that outside the Rand the general strike has had a limited success. At Durban a meeting attended by 844 persons, mostly strikers resulted in the formation of a commando of 300 men who paraded without violence. A similar meeting at Bloemfontein favored formation of commandos, but a single arrest led to the dispersal of the gathering before the decision could be carried out. $50 Death Claim Paid. So.

'Ghandi, as you know is one of the noblest characters of the day. Like Me Swiney I believe, he will pave the way ultimately for India's freedom. Me Swiney's death a couple of years ago paved the way for an Irish Free State, and I believe that the sacrifice, the imprisonment of Mahatma Ghandi will ultimately pave the way for a free and independent India. I am in deep sympathy with Ghandi and with the new movement of India. As Provisional President, of Africa I pledge the support of all the Negroes of the world, who support the principles of this Organization, to the cause of India's freedom, and I am pleased at a bit of news that has come to me just within the last twelve hours. It came from the Island of Jamaica, where as is the custom of the people I have mentioned, they called upon the West Indian Reg in effect - the black soldiers who have always fought for them in their wars of conquest—to fight the Indians, and they refused to go. (Loud and prolonged applause.) THE EFFECT OF U. N. I.A. PROPAGANDA "This is the effect of the propaganda of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the Bill of Rights of the First Convention of 1920 when we declared that no Negro shall take up arms against, other men and especially against men of his race and those with whom he is in sympathy, without first knowing what he is about to fight for. (Applause.) The Negroes of the world have no cause against India. The Negroes of the world on the contrary are in sympathy with India. (Applause.) And there are four hundred million Negroes who are prepared to stand behind three hundred and eighty millions of Indians to see that they get their freedom. (Renewed applause.) CABLES TO BRITISH AUTHORITIES "The time for dividing and conquering has passed; therefore, in the spirit of the movement we represent, I am about to send this cable to David Lloyd George, British Premier: David Lloyd George, British Pemfer, 10 Downing Street, London. Four hundred million Negroes are in sympathy with Mahatma Gandhi whom you have arrested. We are for the freedom of India and the complete liberation of the African colonies, including the Nigerias, Sierra Loona, Gold Coast and Southwest and East Africa. We wish your nation all that is good, but not at the expense of the darker and weaker peoples of the earth. Rome, Greece, Spain, Germany fell because of imperialistic designs and aggression. May you profit by their experience by acting now to avert the bloody conflict that threatens all humanity. Let us have peace by being just is the prayer of 400 million Negroes.

Our members and friends seemed to have caught the spirit of the day for the attendance at Vespers was the largest we have had this year. Miss Adela F. Ruffin, City Secretary of the South Atlantic Field, made a very forceful and instructive address on what we ought to know about the National Convention which meets in Hot Springs, Ark, April 20th-27th. Among the important facts explained by Miss Ruffin was the relationship of the National Board of and the National Convention, the Boston amendment to change the membership basis the Student movement, the seating of delegates—that delegates would be seated by states and not by color and the personnel of the delegat es who would represent the Branch Associations of the South Atlantic Field.

SECRETARY FOR INDIA RESIGNING, HITS AT THE BRITISH PREMIER Lloyd George Blames Montagu for Act ing Without Pressing Necessity. HARMS WHOLE EMPIRE Also Affects Sevres Treaty to Whifl Britain is But One Signatory. Lord Readings. Positoin is Shunken-- His Resignation May Be the Tresult, London, March 9—The Indian crisis precipitated by the Indian Government's note appealing for Turkey's rights, which has developed a sensation, threats to involve the Prime Minister and the coalition in still graver difficulties. The resignation of idwin S. Montagu, Secretary of India, areounced today, which in many quarters is called a dismissal, has excited such intense manifestations of joy. In the "die hard" camp that there is an inclination to see some connection between the two crises. Moreover, it provokes speculation concerning the position of the Viceroy Lord Reading whose action in publishing the Indian Government's note is interpreted as an intention to force the hand of the Imperial Government. Premier Lloyd George in accepting Mr. Montagu's resignation, charges him "without being urged by any press necessity" and without consulting his colleagues, with publishing a statement the importance of which extends far beyond the frontiers of India or "the responsibilities of your office." The Premier adds that the right of the Government of India to state their views has never been disputed, but if the Governments of the empire claimed liberty to publish individual declarations vitally affecting the relations of the whole empire with foreign Powers, the unity of British foreign policy would be broken and the very existence of the empire leopardized. OTHER MINISTERS NOT CONSULTED The resignation of Mr. Montagu was announced in the House of Commons by Mr. Chamberlain who said he understood the telegram sent to Secretary Montagu from the Government of India, setting forth the feeling in India regarding the necessity for revision of the Treaty of Sovres between Turkey and the Allies and the allied evacuation of Constantinople and the restoration of Thrace Adrianople and Saryma, was made public by the Indian Government with only Mr. Montagu's sanction no other minister having been consulted regarding it. Regarding the publication of Lord Reading's dispatch, Mr. Chamberlain added: "That publication in India was authorized by the Secretary of State and has led to his resignation on the grounds of Cabinet responsibility and imperial policy, which I have described to the House. The publication of such a pronouncement of policy, without their consent, he added, "raised a different question, which was all the more important be cause of the conference just about to meet in Paris where it seems there is a fair prospect that in concert with our allies we shall be able to lay the basis for peace between the Turks and the Greeks." TREATY RESTS WITH POWERS Mr. Chamberlain said that when Foreign Secretary Marquis Curzon goes to Paris to discuss the Near Eastern settlement with the French and Italian Foreign Ministers it would be his object to reach a solution equitable to all parties. "Due weight will be given by him," Mr. Chamberlain said, "to the opinions of the Indians and Mohammedans as expressed by the Government of India, but I cannot hold myself down to accept any solution put forward by that Government irrespective of its relation to the problem as a whole. Responsibility for revision of the treaty of Sevres and the conclusion of peace in the Near East rests with the allied Powers in combination." Mr. Chamberlain made the point that Lord Reading's dispatch should have been regarded as confidential. This too, is the main grievance of the English press, which has condemned not the contents of the dispatch but the publication of what it is claimed gives the Indian extremists a new lever to be used in their anti-Government campaign and at a time when the situation in India was causing much concern. It is generally understood that Lord Reading, desiring to publish the offending document, sought permission of the secretary for India, who technically is his superior, to make the statement public in India. Mr. Montagu, without consulting the Cabinet, and while the Prime Minister was confined to his room III, gave permission and Lord Reading had the statement published in India, from which country it was telegraphed through the ordinary channels to the British press. Mr. Montagu's Cabinet colleagues take the ground that he should have withheld permission. A story is current that the Prime Minister while lying in bed looking over the morning papers was amazed to read the India document. He immediately summoned Secretary Montagu and other Ministers to Downing Street, Lord High Chancellor Birkenhead, Austen Chamberlain and Mr. Churchill considered the matter with the Premier and it was unanimously decided that Mr. Montagu could not properly retain office. Thereupon the Premier sent to Mr. Montagu a formal request for his resignation. It is understood that the remaining members of the Cabinet later indorsed the action taken, they holding the view that Mr. Montagu was not entitled to permit publication with every appearance of Government sanction of a document advocating a deliberate reversal of a policy undertaken in concert with Great Britain's allies. Some of the radicals profess to be deve that Mr. Montagu's retirement is intended to appease the "dile hards" at though at the same time generally admitting that the untimely publication of the offending document gravely pre produced the negotiations for revision of the Sesres treaty, and was likely to produce a serious effect in India. A serious side of the crisis is that the views expressed are said to be those not only of the Viceroy but also of all the provincial Governors. But even the moderate members of the House of Commons and those sometimes deserth ed as pro-Turkish agree that it is impossible that Turkish rule should be restored in Jerusalem, Mecca and Medina. Although it is denied that there is any question of the recall of the Viceroy, it is considered among the possibilities that if his policy is rejected he may ask to be recalled. Among the names mentioned tonight as possible successor of Mr. Montagu is that of Winston Churchill. MR. MONTAGU'S LETTER In his letter of resignation to the Premier, Mr. Montague, easy: "When I received last week the Government of India's telegram, conveying that Government's views on Turkish peace, with the request for permission to publish them, I circulated it to the Cabinet. It was only after I received an urgent telegram on Saturday repeating the request for permission to publish and asking for an immediate reply that I felt it my duty to accept the responsibility of sanctioning publication. "I did not conceive it possible that there should be any question that the Indian Government should not be allowed to state their views upon a question so vitally affecting the peace of India, nor did I think it was possible or right to prevent them from informing the people whom they govern of views they felt it their duty to put forward on their behalf. The Government of India' s should be the First to acknowledge that it is the duty of his Majesty's Government to take many wider aspects 'into consideration and that peace cannot be achieved if the Indian point of view only is considered." Declaring that his object was to give the Indian viewpoint the fullest consideration. Mr. Montagu says he felt that it was his duty to do his utmost to support the Government of India and the provincial Governments and when assured of its great urgency, and recollecting the many decisions on every class of subject which the Government found it inevitable to take without discussion in the Cabinet, he felt justified in the action he took. He argues that there was nothing in the statement which had not been said by the Government of India and on their behalf repeatedly since the peace conference, and as India was given separate representation in the peace conference and was party to the original treaty of Soviets he saw no objection to a state ment of their view. He concludes by expressing the belief that "the policy which, under your leadership, I was authorized to carry out in India will win through success." WIRELESS OPERATOR LAUGHS AT DEATH AS HIS SHIP GOES TO BOTTOM. "The Steward Is Making Sandwiches for the Lifeboats; Looks like We Are Going on a Picnic." Is What Grontoff Flashes to Estonia. New York, March S.—The grin humor of a wireless operator, who laughed at death and flashed striking bits of wet into the other as his ship the Norwegian steamer Grontoff, welcomed and slowly sank during a mid-Anthectic hurricane last Thursday, was recorded on the radio log of the Danish steamer Estonia, arriving today. Each detail of the ship's plight, each call for aid, was supplemented by the jesting comment of the radio man, whose identity is still unknown. He talked as if he were going on a lark in port, instead of to the bottom of the sea. His last message, a disjointed one was a series of witticisms—with death as the butt of the joke. The Estonia, herself hard hit in the 110 miles gale, made a valiant, but an successful effort to reach the Grontoff which first sent out calls for aid at 10 o'clock last Thursday morning reporting her position as about 700 miles east of Cape Race. The Estonia at that time was forty-eight miles west of the disabled Norwegian and steaming in an opposite direction. Captain Hans Jorgenson ordered his ship about and she steamed slowly toward the Grontoff. Meanwhile Radio Operator Hansen engaged the operator of the Grontoff in conversation. The latter sent out first the following—a stereotyped irony of the seas: "God pity the poor sailors on a night like this." Then followed a series of "Ha; Ha," "And, say," he continued, "the old man thinks this calm will be over by nightfall. We sure need some breeze." "Well, the steward is making sand wiches for the lifeboats. Looks like we were going on a picnic." Again a half-hour later he sent: "The old wagon has a list like a run down heel. This is no weather for a fel low to be out in without an umbrella." "Hold on." returned the Fetonia's. "Hold on," returned the Estonia's wireless, "we'll be alongside soon." The Grontoft did not reply until for minutes later. Then: "We are sinking stern first. The boots are smashed. Can't hold out any longer." The skipper dictated that—he ought to know—where did I put my hat?—sorry we can't wait for you, pressing business elsewhere. — "S—" The Estonia's operator quoted in reply, these lines: "What dam lances brought thee forth. "To jest at dawn with death. ?" But there was no answer. Six hours after picking up the first call from the Grontoft the Estonia reached her reported position and though she cruised about for four hours, failed to find even a trace of the wreckage. The Grontoft, from Galveston, New Orleans and Norfolk was on route for Esbjorg. She had a crew of thirty THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA The Indian appeal for the revision of the treaty of Sovres comes at a particularly embarrassing moment for the British Government, in that it precedes by comparatively few days the conference arranged for the discussion of the Near East situation At Paris on March 22 by France, Italy and Great Britain. That this treaty now severely attacked, should be revised in some respects became apparent with the growth of the Turkish Nationalist party into a power overtopping the Constantinople Government. The difficulties, however, to be surrounded by a conference were such as to make frequent postponements imperative upon the grounds, each time stated, that the three nations most concerned required time for a study of the situation. The position of both France and Italy as regards the revision was somewhat clearly defined; that of Great Britain was not known, but that she now enters the conference with India in a measure backing the contensions of Italy and France must appear to the British people considerable of a handicap. Another embarrassing matter is that the situation has brought about. If not forced the resignation of Mr. Montagu, the Secretary of State for India, Mr. Montagu came to this post with a wide experience in Indian affairs and at the time of his appointment he was considered the man best equipped to attack the Indian question. In his hand ling of the present situation he has been subjected to severe criticism, especially in his treatment of Gandhi and his followers. It has been asserted that the Indian authorities have allowed Gandhi to foment strife and disorder, that most of the thirty-four outbreaks in India in the last year were due to his influence, that he has issued provocative mandates and that he has broken every solemn promise he has made. The contention of Mr. Montagu's critiques is that all this could have been avoided by the suppression of Gandhi;—if necessary by his arrest. To these statements of weak administration is now added the affirmation that Ganji was largely responsible for the appeal for a revision of the Sevres treaty and also that Mr. Montagu had foreknowledge that this appeal was to be made. It is thus evident that the entire onus for the embarrassing features of the present situation is laid upon the shoulders of the Secretary o fState for India. Great Britain has by no means been united in approval of the Government's policy as regards the Near East. There is an unmistakable feeling that in backing Greece against the Turkish Nation allies Great Britain backed the weaker party. Even those who consistently favored assistance to the Greeks condemned the lukewarmness of the help afforded, declaring that it merely made British support the subject of ridicule. In the meantime both France and Italy carried on successful negotiations with the Nationalists leader, Mustapha Kemal Pasha, which gave them decided ad vantages over Great Britain. France especially received territorial concessions that secured her position in Syria and Cilicia and which will advantageously facilitate her trade when the Bagdad railway is again in complete operation. A summary of the Indian appeal indicates that the demand for the revision of the Sovres treaty seeks not only the restoration to Turkey of Smyrna, Adrianople and Thrace, awarded to the Greeks, but also the restoration of Constantinople and the Turkish Straits to the Sultan. In other words, the Turk is to be reestablished in Europe upon the same footing he was on before the world war. It is doubtful if British public opinion would approve any such wholesale changes in the Sovres treaty. Again, there is no good reason to believe that Gandhi represents India in this demand. There is in that country a great population, which is not Moslem—the Mohammedans number 66,000,000 o f a total population of 313,000 000—and to which the question of the Caliphate and the Sultante is of no material importance. The appeal bears the marks of another effort of that shrewd revolutionary and disturber further to harass Great Britain by involving her in a serious religious and international complication.

W. was taken with sifatica Monday morning, which confined her to bed. It is hope that a speedy recovery may be hers to enjoy.

Miss Stella Broadnax, his daughter who has been on the sick list is at her post as teacher in the public schools. Tov. James S. Hatcher, B. D. delivered a very helpful and instructive sermon to the members and followers of Mt. Zion Sunday morning. His text was Joveniah 2:32, "Can a maid forget her ornaments or a bride her attire? Yet my people have forgotten me days without number." He painted a picture for those who heard that should not soon be forgotten. He showed how ungrateful it is for a young man to have noble opportunities for making success in the financial world and then waste his substance with those who care for nothing but the lavishing of his goods on them. And that man who forgets the mound that holds the remains of his own mother and falls to visit that lonely mound at given time to kneel, and offer prayer or drop a ten_p in dear remembrance of mother, must be a forgetful creature. The night service was very good and well attended. There was one accession. The total collection for the day was $109.00. The Lord has been with us in our o'fort and labors under the efficient pastorate of Rev. J. S. Hatcher in all his labors here. Mr. J. E. Jefferson of 11 Eleventh Avenue, N.

In sad, but loving memory of my loving mother, Mrs. Alle Steward, who departed this life March 16, 1920: Two years have passed. I can't forget; your memory is as fresh today with me as the day you passed away. (Best on, dear mother, I miss you more and more each passing. I watched your sufferings day and night. Though after all my care and watching your spirit took its flight to that land where there is no night. —By her devoted daughter, ..DELLA PATTERSON. Monday night, Mrs. K. T.

July 8, 1915. A perfect cure has been effected by L. J. Hayden's Pure Herb Medicines. 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.

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 recommend 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.
