(By Francis H. Warren.) o Are Southern methods of repression creeping into the North to prevent Negroes in competition with white people from securing even handed justice? This question is thrust to the front by the experiences of George Nurse, admitted champion speller of the sixth grade in the Detroit Public Schools. The Detroit News recently staged a series of spelling bees in the Detroit Public Schools, of which there are one hundred and fifty-eight, and gave copies of Webster's new dictionary to each champion of their respective schools. Then these school champions competed to see who were the best grade spellers in the city from the fifth grade to the high schools of the city leaving four grade champions from grades five to eight and one high school champion. George Nurse the sixth grade champion of which grade he is a member in the Barstow School, with four other grade and high school champions were left to contest for the honor of being champion of the City of Detroit. The Majestic Theatre one of Detroit's largest playhouses was the scene of the final struggle between these five students to win the highest prize in the great contest, and one by one the five grade champions dropped out for mis spelling until there were left on the stage little George Nurse, Negro champion of the sixth grade, aged nine, and Justine Pearlsall, a bright child of Caucasian race of the eighth grade, aged twelve. Word after word was given to these two children and each spelled them correctly until the word "peace" the opposite of war was given to Justine which is a single syllable word. But Justine spelled the word wrong twice and was given a third opportunity to spell it correctly, and while she was given words from the grade speller, George was given high school words with several syllables yet he continued to spell them correctly and the excitement became most intense as it was feared that a Negro boy of nine years would out spell all of the other students in the city schools of our great city. DISCRIMINATION APPARENT Finally George was given the word "Hawaii". He began with capital "H" then he stopped and started over and forgot to use the capital "H" when he started the second time but spelled the word correctly. He was disqualified for this will not be given three opportunities or even two to spell it correctly as he had formerly been with Miss Pearlsall, from all of which it appears that there was at least one criminal in favor of little Miss Pearlsall and against the little Nero boy George Nurse for bad he been given three opportunities, to correctly spell "Hawaii" he probably would have been spelled with her until it was his principal who was too ill to attend the final match was confident that he was the best speller in the City of Detroit and could not be spelled down. NEGRO STUDENTS STAND HIGH It is for the above reason that we denominate George Nurse champion speller de facto of the City of Detroit while Miss Justine Pearsal is champion speller de jure, having been granted the first prize as champion speller of the city for the reasons above stated. There is one thing, however, that stands out prominently in this spelling contest and that is that Negro students take their place along with students of all other races and attain the highest character of mental development where educated along with other students in the same schools, in for the trot all children in a given district attend the same schools. There are no such things as white schools or colored schools in this city. Hence the children of the race secure the same benefits from the curriculum and the teaching staff as the children of all other races. There are as previously stated, one hundred and fifty-eight champion spellers of their respective schools. Out of these champions one hundred and forty contestants for the grade champion ships. Eight Negro students won the school championship prize, the names of six of which are as follows: (Continued on Fourth Page) DANVILLE PREPARING FOR THE VIRGINIA BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION.

SALESMAN CORREDED BY BANDIT IN FREDERICK Winchester Va, March 21. R. C. Ranscher, a Philadelphia salesman, traveling for a Cambridge, Mass., conern was held up and robbed of his pocketbook and other valuables by 4 masked handits on a bridge over Opeqon Creek, five miles east of here early today. The robber's escaped. Ranscher was traveling in a light automobile from Alexandria to Winchester. He said the men appeared suddenly as his car came upon the bridge commanded him to throw up his hands and get out of the car. While three covered him with revolvers the other riffled his pockets, taking his valuables. They ordered him to leave the place without giving an alarm. He was unarmed and could offer no resistance, he said. The hold-up was the second at the same place since the night of March 4 when a Standard OP Company representative was "flagged" by highwaymen whom he eluded by suddenly "stepping on the gas" and darting away.

RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, MARCH 25, 1922 WAGE FIGHT ON SENATORIAL CANDIDATE AGAINST DYER BILL N, A, A, C, P, TAKES HAND IN MICHIGAN, WHERE CANDIDATE IS AGAINST ANTI-LYNCH RILL. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, today announced that a letter was being sent to the most important newspapers in the State of Michigan pointing out that in the approaching contest for Senator Towsend's seat in the United States State was a man who had voted against the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill in the House of Representatives. That man is Representative Patrick J. Kiley from the Sixth Michigan Congressional District. The letter sent to the Michigan newspaper follows. Sir:—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and its friends in the State of Michigan are interested in the contest for Senator Towsend's seat in the United Senate. This interest has been aroused because Representative Patrick H. Kelley of the Sixth Michigan Congressional District, who has announced his candidacy against Senator Towsend, opposed and voted against the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill, H. R. 13, which was passed 230 to 119 by the House and is now before the Senate. Colored people throughout the United States want the Dyer Bill enacted into law. They know that such entitlement constitutional lawyers as Attorney General Daugherty and Moorfield Storey, former president of the American Bar Association as well as former Senator, now Representative Burton of Ohio hold the proposed legislation to be constitutional. With such entitlement authority in favor of the Dyer Bill, colored people hold that the final decision on its constitutionality must be left to the Supreme Court. Under the circumstances they are not disposed to accept Representative Kelley's excuse that he voted against the Dyer Bill because, as he claims in a letter published in the Michigan State News of March 9, 1922, "every lawyer knows that Congress has no jurisdiction over the subject matter." That lawyers as well as hymen know otherwise may be demonstrated to Mr. Kelley in the course of his campaign. Whatever may be the other issues of the campaign, colored Americans will have in mind that the Dyer bill constitutes an issue of supreme importance to orderly government in the United States.

YOUTH IS FREED OF A SERIOUS CHARGE YOUTH IS FREED OF A SERIOUS CHARGE Henry Lincoln Johnson Scores Great Victory in a Delicate Case. Washington, D. C., March 21. A notable victory was scored during the past week by Attorney Henry Lincoln Johnson, of Atlanta, Ga., in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, before Mr. Justice McCoy, Criminal Division, "Colonel" Johnson consented to serve as Chief Counsel for the defendant because of his intimate acquaintance and personal friendship for defendant's family who lived for many years in Georgia. Mr. Johnson and his associates represented a young colored boy, Algernon Simpkins, who was charged with having criminally assaulted one Ethel Edwards, a white girl under sixteen years of age—the statutory "age of consent" in the District of Columbia where the District for this offense if proven, is imprisonment for from 20 to 30 years in the penitentiary or, in the discretion of the jury, the death penalty. Although the Assistant District Attorney, Mr. Emerson, vigorously prosecuted the case, assisted by a number of white detectives who were unusually active in getting up evidence calculated to convict the defendant and who gave testimony at times contradictory, instructed with passion and flavored with race prejudice, yet, after the tuetal handline and cross examination of the case by Colored Johnson and after he delivered to the white jury one of the most eloquent and most arrestful cases ever proclaimed in a criminal court, the jury retrial and attested to our. The only hours reported to the Court that they were in hospitals discharged. Where about Mr. Justice Mitty, who attained through the real, was not mentally ill, discharged the jury from further consideration of the case. The jury wisely composed of white citizens, stood seven for nominated and five for convicted. Three days, were consumed in the real. The case will now be "hole-pressed." After its discharge, the Foreman of the Jury came into the main corridor of the Court House, and, speaking in the presence of many white and colored attorneys, said to the Father of the defendant: "Your son owes his life to the SUM-UP of Mr. Johnson, your lawyer." Danville, Va. March 21.—Word was received today from Pittsburgh of the unusual death of Arthur Devin, a respected colored farmer, near Gretton.

The unfortunate man covered by the wood was charred before his father could reach him. --- Dr. Kelly Miller will speak at the City Auditorium, Sunday, March 26 at 3:30 P. M.

REPUBLICANS MAKE CLEAN SWEEP IN MAINE ELECTIONS OVER 6,000 PLURALITY POLLED FOR CANDIDATE IN SPECIAL CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION Augusta Maine, March 20—John E. Nelson, Republican of this city, was elected by more than 6,000 plurality to succeed Federal Judge Jake John A. Peters as Representative to Congress at the special election in the Third Maine District today on the face of unofficial returns. Complete returns from Kennebec and Wabo County, and from sixteenth of the 128 towns in Hancock, Somerest, and Washington Counties, the remainder of the district gave Nielson 16,598 and Ernest L. McLean, Devorat also of this city 10,356. The remaining sixty towns and plan cities are small and their vote would not materially change this majority of 6,242. They cost 2,392 Republican and 966 Democratic votes at the last congressional election. Mr. Nelson was nominated in the Republican primary in February by a wide margin over ex-Mayor Blaine S. Viles of Augusta. It was thought that this primary contest would leave scars, but the vote to day in Kennebec County the home of both candidates shows that the result of the primary did not affect the Republican vote. Few speeches were made during the campaign and for the first time in many years no speakers from abroad invaded the State in behalf of either candidate. Representative Carroll L. Beedy of the First Maine district made a few speeches for Mr. Nelson. Mr. Nelson carried the city of Waterville, his former home by a majority of 700. This same city two weeks ago execled a Democratic Mayor and a Democratic city government by a majority of 1000 Mr. Nelson also carried Augusta by 300 leading in seven of the eight wards. Neither candidate during the campaign issued any statement as to his position on the soldiers' bonus bitt or the four Power Treaty. Nelson's majority is the biggest obtained by a Republican in many years except in the landslide of 1920. During the primary campaign the Christian Civic League indorsed Mr. Nelson as against Mr. Viles but was neutral as regards the election. Both candidates came out in statements favoring national prohibition and the so-called Volstead law. In the Congressional election two years ago Mr. Peters received 17,831 majority the vote being 36,141 for Peters and 18,310 for Towle. Democratic. The final vote was 38,533 to 19,273 a Republican margin of 19,257 votes. The Peter's plurality in other wards was 36,333 in 1945; 36,64 in 1945 and 15,55 in 1944. A STRANGE REPORT FROM Winchester, Va. March 16. Certain colored people who refused to go to Martinburg, W. Va., this week and telfify in behalf of Monroe ("Doc") Peyton, who was convicted and sentenced to be hanged for criminally attacking a 10 year old white girl last summer, were reported today to have received threatening messages from colored people who were active in Peyton's defense. Efforts were made to induce a considerable number of colored people, some of them quite prominent among their race to go to Martinsburg and testify that Peyton was in Winchester at the very time the alleged assault occurred, but they refused to go, saying they had no knowledge of the man's whereabouts at that time. When Peyton broke jail at Martinsburg last week he left a note, saying he was going to get evidence to establish his innocence. He made straight for Winchester and sought out a man of colored people, trying to induce them, it was said to aid him in establish his alibi. Now that Peyton has been convicted and sentenced to be hanged, reports have become current that his former boon companions are threatening those who refused to perjure themselves on the witness stand. They are also said to have been informed that the spirit of Peyton known among some colored people as a mugger and fortune teller, will haunt them to their dying day. This has so worked on their inborn superstition that many cringe at the mention of Peyton's names. FIRE AT THE VIRGINIA UNION UNIVERSITY. Much excitement was caused by the discovery of stifling smoke in Huntley Hall at the Virginia Union University. This is the boy's dormitory of this magnificent structure. All efforts to locate the fire was futile. The students began removing their belongings to the campus and it was only after the arrival of the Fire Department that the blaze was located in the walls. When this had been put out, the students no longer to move back into the stone building. The fire was discovered shortly before 4 P. M. last Thursday. There was absolutely no panic. The students tied tankerchiefs over their noses and did work in the regulation order. Mrs. and Dr. J. E. Jones have their home in the Southern end of this building. The damage is estimated to be $2,000,000. This was caused by the destruction of the woodwork and the side walls. --- Dr. Kelly Miller will speak at the City Auditorium, Sunday, March 20 at 3:30 P. M.

C., March 17—Speaking before a large audience in Hickory last Thursday night, Dr. Arthur Talmadge Abernethy of Asheville, lecturer for the Ku Klux Klan, referred to a case in which he said, Governor Morrison was refused extradition of a colored man from Canada, and asserted that 1,000,000 Klansmen from Maine to Texas have been pledged to see that the man is returned to North Carolina for trial. "And this will happen in the next ninety days," he added. While Dr. Abernethy did not mention the name of the man, he said was sought by the authorities of this State the audience understood him to refer to Matthew Bullock, wanted at Northland on a charge of attempted murder, growing out of a race riot at that place about a year ago, Bullock was recent by given his liberty by Judge Snyder at Hamilton, Ont., where he was arrested when Governor Morrison refused to send witnesses to Canada to testify at his extradition hearing. Dr. Abernethy had been discussing the efforts he said, the Ku Klux Klan were making to assist the officers in enforcing the law. He referred to a case in Asheville, in which he said a colored man was sent to the roads through the efforts of the Klan and told of two white women being escorted out of that city by Klansmen. It was near the close of his address that the speaker referred to the Canadian case and declared that the man sought by the authorities of this State from Canada would be returned to North Carolina for trial and that 000 000 Khansmen, from Maine to Texas were pledged to this undertaking. Dr. Aberneth did not say what measures would be taken by the Khansmen in having the man brought back to North Carolina. His remarks were liberally applauded by the audience.

(By Francis H. Warren.) Are Southern methods of repression creeping into the North to prevent Negroes in competition with white people from scouring even handed justice? This question is thrust to the front by the experiences of George Nurse, admitted champion speller of the sixth grade in the Detroit Public Schools. The Detroit News recently staged a series of spelling bees in the Detroit Public Schools, of which there are one hundred and fifty-eight, and gave copies of Webster's new dictionary to each champion of their respective competes to who were the best grade speller in the city of the fifth grade to the high schools of the city leaving four grade champions from grades five to eight and one high school champion. George Nurse the sixth grade champion of which grade he is a member in the Barstow School, with four other grade and high school champions were left to contest for the honor of being champion of the City of Detroit. GREAT INTEREST SHOWN IN CONTEST The Majestic Theatre one of Detroit's largest playhouses was the scene of the final struggle between these five students to win the highest prize in the great contest, and one by one the five grade champions dropped out for misspelling until there were left on the stage little George Nurse, Negro cham plon of the sixth grade, aged nine, and Justine Pearall, a bright child of Caucasian race of the eighth grade, aged twelve.

DISCRIMINATION APPARENT DISCrimination APPARENT Finally George was given the word "Hawaii." He began with capital "H" then he stopped and started over and then use the capital "H" when he started the word "Hawaii." He was word for correctly. He was disqualified for this without being given three opportunities or even two to spell it correctly as had formerly been done with Miss Pearsall, from all of which it appears that, there was at least some discrimination in favor of little Miss Pearsall and against the little Negro boy, George Nurse, for had he given three opportunities to correctly spell his name, probably would have been spelling with his name, as his principal who was too ill to attend the match was confident that he was the best speller in the City of Detroit and could not be spelled down. NEGRO STUDENTS STAND HIGH It is for the above reason that we denominate George Nurse champion speller de facto of the City of Detroit while Miss Justine Pearnsall is champion speller de jure, having been granted the first prize as champion speller of the city for the reasons above stated.

They know that such entitlement lawyers as Attner general counsel of Moorfield Store, former president of Moorfield can bar Association as well as former Senator, now Representative Burton of Ohio hold the proposed legislation to be constitutional. With such entitlement authority in favor of the Dyer Bill, they hold that the final decision on its constitutional must be left to the Supreme Court. Under the circumstances they are not disposed to accept Representative Kelley's excuse that he voted against the Dyer Bill because, as he claims in a letter published in the Michigan State News of March 9, 1922, "every lawyer knows that Congress has no jurisdiction over the subject matter." that lawyers as well as laymen know otherwise may be demonstrated to Mr. Kelley in the course of his campaign. Whatever be the other issues of the campaign, more Americans will have in mind that the Dyer bill constitutes an issue of supreme importance to orderly government in the United States.

YOUTH IS FREED OF A SERIOUS CHARGE Henry Lincoln Johnson Scores Great Victory in a Delicate Case. Washington, D. C., March 21.—A notable victory was scored during the past week by Attorney Henry Lincoln Johnson, of Atlanta, Ga., in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, before Mr. Justice McCoy, Criminal Division, "Colonel" Johnson consented to serve as Chief Counsel for the defendant because of his intimate acquaintance and personal friendship for defendant's family who lived for many years in Georgia. Mr. Johnson and his associates represented a young colored boy, Algernon Simpkins, who was charged with having criminally assaulted on Ethel Edwards, a white girl under suspicion of age—the statutory "age of consent" in the District of Columbia where the penalty for this offense if proven, is imprisonment for from 20 to 30 years in the penitentiary or, in the discretion of the jury, the death penalty. Although the Assistant District Attorney, Mr. Emerson, vigorously prosecuted the case, assisted by a number of white detectives who were unusually active in getting up evidence calculated to convict the defendant and who gave testimony at times contradictory, tainted with passion and flavored with race prejudice—yet, after the tactical handling and cross-examination of witnesses by Colonel Johnson, and after he had delivered to the white jury one of the most eloquent and formal arguments: ever pressed in a court, the jury retired and after being fived or six hours reported to the Court that they were in hopeless disagreement. Where upon Mr. Justice McLeoy, while attitude throughout the trial was evidently just, discharged the jury from further consideration of the case. The jury, wholly composed of white citizens, stood seven for acquittal and five for conviction. Three days were consumed in the trial. The case will now be "nole pressed." After its discharge, the Foreman of the Jury came into the main corridor of the Court House and, speaking in the presence of many white and color attorneys, said to the Father of the defendant: "Your son owes his life to the SUM-UP of Mr. Johnson, your lawyer." Wagon Upsets in the Fire; Man is Burned to Death. Danville, Va. March 21.—Word was received today from Pittsburgh of the unusual death of Arthur Dovin, a respected colored farmer, near Greta. He and his father were burning over a plant bed for the preparation of tobacco. Devin had driven up to the bed with a wagon load of wood when the mule became frightened, wheeled around and upset Dovin and the wood into the heart of the fire. The unfortunate man covered by the wood was charred before his father could reach him. Dr. Kelly Miller will speak at the City Auditorium, Sunday, March 26. at 3:30 P. M. Subject, "The Next Stop in the Race Problem." This meeting is under the auspices of the Order of Knights of Pythias. REPUBLICANS MAKE CLEAN SWEEP IN MAINE ELECTIONS OVER 6,000 PUBLICITY POLLED FOR CANDIDATE IN SPECIAL CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION Augusta Maine, March 20.—John E. Nelson, Republican of this city, was elected by more than 6,000 plurality to succeed Federal District Judge John A. Peters as Representative to Congress at the special election in the Third Maine District today on the face of unofficial returns. Complete returns from Kennebec and Valdez Counties and from sixtey-eight the Counties in Hancock, Somerset and Washington Counties, the remainder of the district gave Niel 16,598 and Ernest L. McLean, Democrat also of this city 10,356. The remaining sixty towns and plantations are small and their vote would not materially change this majority of 6,242. They cast 2,382 Republican and 966 Democratic votes at the last congressional election. Mr. Nelson was nominated in the Republican primary in February by a wide margin over co-Mayor Blaine S. Viles of Augusta. It was thought that this primary contest would leave scars, but the vote to day in Kennebec County the home of both candidates shows that the result of the primary did not affect the Republican vote. Few speeches were made during the campaign and for the first time in years no other from abroad invaded the State in behalf of other candidate. Representative Carroll L. Beedy of the First Maine district made a few speeches for Mr. Nelson. Mr. Nelson carried the city of Waterville, his former home by a majority of 700. This same city two weeks ago elected a Democratic Mayor and a Democratic city government by a majority of 1.000. Mr. Nelson also carried Augusta by 300 leading in seven of the eight wards. Neither candidate during the campaign issued any statement as to his position on the soldiers bonus bilt or Nelson's majority in the biggest obtained by a Republican in many years except in the backside of 1820. During the primary campaign the Christian Civic League indented Mr. Nelson as against Mr. Viles but was neutral as regards the election. Both candidates came out in statements favoring national prohibition and the so-called Volstead law. In the Congressional election two years ago Mr. Peters received 17,331 majority the vote being 36,141 for Peters and 18,310 for Towle, Democrat. The final vote was 38,533 to 19,275 a Republican margin of 19,257 votes. The Peter's pluralities in other elections were 5,363 in 1918; 3,654 in 1918 and 1,515 in 1914. A STRANGE REPORT FROM Winchester, Va., March 19.—Certain colored people who refused to go to Martinsburg, W. Vn., this week and tify in behalf of Monroe ("Doc") Peyton, who was convicted and sentenced to be hanged for criminally attacking a 9 year old white girl last summer, to be reported eductor to have received threatening messages from colored people who were active in Peyton's defense. Efforts were made to induce a considerable number of colored people, some of them quite prominent among their race to go to Martinsburg and testify that Peyton was in Winchester at the very time the alleged assault occurred, but they refused to go, saying they had no knowledge of the man's whereabouts at that time. When Peyton broke jail at Martinsburg last week he left a note, saying he would go to give evidence to establish his innocence. He made straight for Winchester and sought out a number of colored people, trying to induce them, it was said to aid him in establishing all his alib. Now that Peyton has been convicted and sentenced to be hanged, reports have become current that his former boon companions are threatening those who refused to perjure themselves on the witness stand. They are also said to have been informed that the spirit of Peyton is known among some colored people as a man and fortune-teller, will haunt them and day. This has so worked on their. Inborn superstition that many cringe at the mention of Peyton's name. FIRE AT THE VIRGINIA UNION UNIVERSITY. Much excitement was caused by the discovery of stifling smoke in Huntley Hall at the Virginia Union University. This is the boys' dormitory of this magnificent structure. All efforts to locate the fire was futile. The students began removing their belongings to the campus and it was only after the arrival of the Fire Department that the blaze was located in the walls. When this had been put out, the students provided to move back into the stone building. The fire was discovered shortly before 4 P. M. last Thursday. There was absolutely no panic. The team led bankerchefs over their noses and worked in the regulation order. Mrs. and Dr. J. E. Jones have their home in the Southern Jones building. The damage is estimated to be $500.00. This was caused by the deconstruction of the woodwork and the side walls. Dr. Kelly Miller will speak at the City Auditorium, Sunday, March 26 at 3:30 P. M. Subject, "The Next Step in the Race Problem." This meeting is under the auspices of the Order of Knights of Pythons. CHURCH FOR BETTER RACE RELATIONSHIP CHURCH FOR BETTER RACE RELATIONSHIP Methodist Council of Bishops Approve Plus of the Federal Council- Montgomery, Atn., -The Tril Council of Bishops of the A. M. E.; A. M. E. Zion and C. M. E. Churches, composed of about thirty bishops which held its biennial session in this city last week, went on record as endorsing fully the plan of inter-racial cooperation to churches, as formulated by the Federal Council of American Churches. This plan stands up in the Federal Council Inter-Racial Commission of which Mr. John J. Engagel of Atlanta, is chairman and Dr. George E. Haynes secretary. The purposes of this Commission briefly stated are: to assert the sufficiency of Christian principles in the solution of race relations, to promote mutual confidence and cooperation, to distribute accurate knowledge of conditions, to develop a competence in inter-racial matters, which will ensure safe treatment and the correction of wrong conditions and to provide an agency through which all the churches may work to gether. The approval of the Tri-Council which is one of the most august ecole statistical bodies in America, opens the fullest cooperation of the vast Medicalist constituency in the in-reaching program laid out by the Federal Council.

PRICE, FIVE CENTS THE KU KLUX KLAN CHALLENGES CANADA IN BULLOCK AFFAIR ASSERTS MAN SOUGHT BY N. C. WITHIN NEXT NINETY DAYS. Hickory, N. C., March 17—Speaking before a large audience in Hickory last Thursday night, Dr. Arthur Talmadge Abernethy of Ashville, lecturer for the Ku Klux Klan, referred to a case in which he said, Governor Morrison was refused extradition of a color man from Canada, and asserted that 1000 inmates from Maine to Texas have been held. The man is returned to North Carolina for trial. "And this will happen in the next ninety days," he added. Whilo Dr. Abernethy did not mention the name of the man, he said was sought by the authorities of this State the audience understood him to 'refer to Matthew Bullock, wanted at Norlima on a charge of attempted murder, grow out of a race riot at that place given a race riot. Bullock was recently given his life by Judge Snyder at Hamilton, Out. when he was arrested when Governor Morrison refused to send witnesses to Canada to testify at his extradition hearing. Dr. Abernethy had been discussing the efforts he said, the Ku Klux Klan were making to assist the officers in enforcing the law. He referred to a case in Asheville, in which he said a color man was sent to the roads through the streets of the Klan and told of two white men escorted out of that city by Klanmen. It was near the close of his address that the speaker referred to the Canadian case and declared that the man sought by the authorities of this State from Canada would be returned to North Carolina for trial and that 1,000 Klanmen, from Maine to Texas were led to this undertaking. Dr. Abernethy did not say what measures would be taken by the Klanmen in having the man thrown back to North Carolina. His remarks were liberally applauded by the audience.

In St. Paul five women were locked over night in a jury room with seven men, the cots on which they slept seprated by a curtain. It is no wonder that Minnesota men are protesting against the compelling of their wives to serve on juries; no wonder that the Governor of Minnesota declares that he would not permit his wife to serve on a jury under such conditions; no wonder that Minnesota Judges denounce the occurrence as disgraceful. In Trenton this week a jury of six women and six men was locked up all night because of disagreement. One of the women described the experience as follows: "We tried for several hours to reach a verdict, but in vain. Then we sent out for cards and newspapers and played cards with the men and read the papers. After we got tired of this we took the cushions off the seats and took naps about the room. The men were very considerate of us. All the we men accepted the experience good not unready, but some of them expressed anxiety as to how matters were going at home. One woman told me her husband had put the children to bed and in the morning had dressed them, prepared their breakfast and sent them to school." There's a picture of progress and emancipation for you! The wife passing the night miserably in a jury room where half of the jurors are men while the husband at home dresses the children and prepares their breakfast. It is futile to say that sensible officials would have provided privacy for the women jurors. For centuries it has been the custom not to separate a jury. In this and most other States the law provides that th jury shall be "kept together." If the custodians of a jury were to separate the women jurors from the men losing side of the case could claim a mistrial. The mixed jury will not work. If the courts are determined to have women on juries or if women are de termine to get on juries, let it be so arranged that the juries will be all women or all men. New York State, which has not open ed the jury gate to women, can learn a lesson from the experiences in Minnesota and New Jersey.

Tt is no wonder that Minnesota men are protestins austinst the compelling of Uheir wives to serve on juries; no wonder that the Governor of Minnesota declares. hit he would not permit his wite to serve ou a jury under such conditions; no wonder "that Minnesota Judges hounee the occurrence as disgraceful In Trenton this week a tnry of sax wemen and six men was locked ap nil HIENL heeause of disagreement. One of the women described the experience ws follows: “We tried for several hours to seach 4 verdict, but in van. Then we sent out for cards and newspapers and play ed cards with the men and read the papers. After we got tired of this. we took tho cushions off the seats and took naps about the room. ‘The men Wore very considerate of us.

POUR COLORED STUDENT IS (Continued from First Page.) George Nurse, Barstow School; Luci Nutall, Duffield School; Claudia Brown, Capron School; William Robinson, George School; Robert Berry, Lyon School; Majorie Pearce, Pitcher School, and two others whose names are not now available. George Nurse was born April 30, 1912 at Empire, Canal Zone, in the Isthmus of Panama. He came to Detroit in October, 1920 and has attended the public schools ever since. His parents originally came from Trinidad, Central America. His father is Lymus K. Nurse a carpenter by trade who was employed on Panama Canal work during the period of its construction and his mother is Lena Nurse. Both parents are well educated. George Nurse, the subject of this article, he gap his education at a private school at the age of four at Panama City. The city-wide spelling match in which he came out a distinguished second according to the judges was the greatest ever staged in the country. The interest was most intense and the final scene in the big theatre with an audience of five thousand mostly white people, with a little black boy on the stage with a white girl contesting for the highest honors, caused the most profound excitement ever seen at a public gathering and when George was his qualified and the little white girl stood as champion of the city of Detroit the shout that went up from the great crowd could be heard almost a mile away. When asked by the writer if he was disappointed by not winning, he said, "Yes, it seemed to me that I should have been given as many chances to spell a word correctly as were given to my last opponent on the stage." Then again he said, "The words that were given to her seemed much easier than the words that were given to me. I am not complaining though. I want to be a doctor and hope to stay in school until I acquire a medical education." George's parents are not wealthy, nor even well-to-do. They are poor and it is not sure that they will be able to keep George in school until he attains his ambition. CATHOLICS DRAW COLOR LINE I said above there were no white or colored schools in Detroit. I wish to qualify that to this extent. The family of champion speller George Nurse are Catholic. When they came to Detroit they wanted to have George entered in one of the Catholic parochial schools of the city, but the Bishop told them they "could not admit colored students in any of the parochial schools, they now had but that they would soon have a colored parochial school where he could attend". It was announced five or six years ago that the Catholics intended to have a colored Catholic school in connection with the St. Peter Claver colored Catholic church but a campaign was immediately instituted to put all parochial schools out of business and compel all children of the city to attend the public schools between the ages of seven and sixteen years or until they passed the eighth grade, and a second campaign is now being waged to amend the constitution of Michigan to this effect and will be voted upon in November. --- FOUR WELL KNOWN STAUNTON CITIZENS ADMIT CONTRIBUT- ING TO BOOZE FUND.

With the exception of Kerr, all four men admitted making an "arrangement" with Tisdale more than a year ago to manufacture brandy for their private use. Dr. Neff admitted "getting" the still and helping Tisdale put it into operation. CONTRIBUTE TOWARD OPERATION He and the other three men admitted, contributing towards its operation, but all except Kyle said they never got any brandy. Kyle said he had made several trips to Tisdale's home in the county, but couldn't remember how much he had taken away. All four exonerated the Commonwealth's attorney of any connection with the "company". Dr. Neff said Tisdale was to make brandy exclusively for the "company's benefit, but when they learned the distiller was furnishing the booze to "out siders" they kicked whereupon Tisdale got "bad". Dr. Neff declared he and his associates tried to get their material and equipment from Tisdale but without success, except for the still, which Dr. Neff said he destroyed. CONFESSES TO COMMONWEALTH Realizing that in disposing of the brandy outside "official circles" would likely get them in trouble, Dr. Neff said he made a confession to the Comf- monwealth's attorney. The latter said he had a talk with Tisdale and advised him to quit moonshining, telling him he said that he had "information" that Tisdale was in the business. While Kyle was the only member of the "combine" who admitted getting any liquor at all, Tisdale said he had supplied Dr. Neff with 100 gallons and Kyle with 500 gallons. He said Kyle got six gallons on the night his plant was raided, which was January 26, 1922. The jury gave Tisdale four months in jail and fined him $300. Because members of the brandy "ring" were called to testify, they will not be prosecuted, the fact that they were put on the stand by the State giv ing them immunity from punishment. ALL UNITED STATES SOLDIERS TO QUIT RHINELAND. Washington, March 20.—All American troops will be out of Germany by July 1, under orders Issued by Secretary Weeks today by direction of President Harding. About 2,000 officers and men are directly affected as the remainder of Major-General Allen's command in the Coblenz bridgehead zone on the Rhine already were under home orders. The announcement of the decision for complete American evacuation of occupied territory in Germany was made by Secretary Weeks as his first act on return to the War Department from a three weeks' vacation in Florida. He indicated that the step was ordered in compliance with the policy previously announced of withdrawing the Rhine forces as quickly as possible. NOT RELATED TO CONGRESS ROW It had no relation, he said, to the wrangle in Congress over further reduction of the size of the army nor did it result from the correspondence between the State Department and the allied commissioners over the American demand for a share in German reparations payments on account of the maintenance of troops in Germany. The original order of the President it was pointed out, directed that all troops on the Rhine with the exception of not more than the single infantry regiment and artillery and other auxiliary detachments, be brought home in army transports as rapidly as possible. The movement is now in progress and the work of the two transports running in the service will be continued under today's instructions, Mr. Weeks said until the remaining troops also have been returned which will be before July 1. MAKES NO EXPLANATION The War Secretary made no explanation of stops that would be taken to turn the Coblone sector over to the allied commanders for policing and to hold the bridgehead as a means for further advances into Germany to en force treaty obligations. The three bridgehead positions were taken up un der the armistice for this purpose, and their occupation confirmed in the treaty of Versailles and the treaty between the United States and Germany. It was admitted at the War Department that the action of the United States in completely abandoning the Rhineland position might have some effect on the negotiations resulting from Secretary Hughes' action in sub mitting a request that the United States receive a share in German reparations payments already made to cover maintenance of the armies on the Rhine. It was insisted, however, that the step was not a direct result of those negotiations, since complete withdrawal was forecast before the note calling attention to the American bill in excess of $241,000,000 on this account was transmitted. --- FLAMING WARFARE MENACES IRISH REPUBLIC. London, March 20.—Armed forces of Ulster and the troops of the Irish provisional government are within rite; shot of each other, massed along the border line and advancing yard by yard to a point where collision seems inevitable. So tense is the situation that only some incident along the line is necessary to turn the entire border into a zone of flaming warfare. The occasional rattle of machine guns and intermittent fire by snipers constitute a continual threat, while back of the lines the destruction of bridges and trench building along the highways is proceeding with all the engineering efficiency of trained armies. ULSTER ALMOST ISOLATED Ulster at this moment is almost isolated from the south. Both sides, fearing invasion or bombardment, are beginning to evacuate families of civilians from the danger zone. Leaders of the northern defense force have sent urgent requests to Field Marshal Sir Henry Wilson to rush reinforcements to the border. As the Ulster civilians are gradually withdrawing their homes are immedately taken over by troops, using them for temporary barracks, sleeping quarters and possible centers of defense. SOUTHERN SUPPORTERS FLEE Supporters of the southern cause and a majority of Catholics are fleeing from the territory under cover of darkness or in some cases moving into hides of Protestants friends, for protection against the continual raiding operations of the northern army. Similarly, Protestants below the border are fleeing northward at every opportunity but moving carefully and only when there is no danger of moles tation by groups of Irish troopers. --- Read The Planet for information concerning the world's "doings" and watch our advertisements.

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 to 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.

George Nurse, Barstow School; Lucie Nutall, Duffield School; Claudia Brown, Capron School; William Robinson, George School; Robert Berry, Lyon School; Majorie Pearce, Pitcher School, and two others whose names are not now available. George Nurse was born April 30, 1912 at Empire, Canal Zone, in the Isthmus of Panama. He came to Detroit in October, 1920 and has attended the public schools ever since. His parents originally came from Trinidad, Central America. His father is Lymus K. Nurse a carpenter by trade who was employed on Panama Canal work during the period of its construction and his mother is Lema Nurse. Both parents are well educated. George Nurse, the subject of this article, began his education at a private school at the age of four at Panama City. The city-wide spelling match in which he came out a distinguished second according to the judges was the greatest ever staged in the country. The interest was most intense and the final scene in the big theatre with an audience of five thousand mostly white people, with a little black boy on the stage with a white girl contesting for the highest honors, caused the most profound excitement ever seen at a public gathering and when George was his qualified and the little white girl stood as champion of the city of Detroit the shout that went up from the great crowd could be heard almost a mile away. When asked by the writer if he was disappointed by not winning, he said, "Yes, it seemed to me that. I should have been given as many chances to spell a word correctly as we gave to my last opponent on the stage." They again he said. "The words that were given to her seemed much easier than the words that were given to me. I am not complaining though. I want to be a doctor and hope to stay in school until I acquire a medical education." George's parents are not wealthy, nor even well-to-do. They are poor and it is not sure that they will be able to keep George in school until he attains his ambition. CATHOLICS DRAW COLOR LINE I said above there were no white or colored schools in Detroit. I wish to qualify that to this extent. The family of champion spoller George Nurse are Catholic. When they came to Detroit they wanted to have George entered in one of the Catholic parochial schools of the city, but the Bishop told them they "could not admit colored students in any of the parochial schools, they now had but that they would soon have a colored parochial school where he could attend". It was announced five or six years ago that the Catholics intended to have a colored Catholic school in connection with the St. Peter Claver colored Catholic church but a campaign was immediately instituted to put all parochial schools out of business and compel all children of the city to attend the public schools between the ages of seven and sixteen years or until they passed the eighth grade, and a second campaign is now being waged to amend the constitution of Michigan to this effect and will be voted upon in November. --- FOUR WELL KNOWN STAUNTON CITIZENS ADMIT CONTRIBUTING TO BOOZE FUND. Staunton, Va., March 14.—Tom Tisdale, who resides near this city throw a bombshell into social, business and court circles here today in testifying in the case of the Commonwealth vs. Tom Tisdale, tried in Circuit Court under an indictment charging him with manufacturing liquor. On the stand Tisdale said his moonshine plant was purchased, installed and materials for its operations furnished by prominent Stauntonians, giving the names of the "company" as Dr. S. C. Nef, Captain E. Guy Kyle, Commonwealth's Attorney H. H. Kerr, of Augusta County, Harry Fauver; A. T. Higginboth and William A. Grubert. GRUBERT ON FEDERAL DRY STAFF All reside in Staunton with the exception of Grubert who is now a resident of Eichmond, being on the staff of Federal Prohibition Director Robert A. Fulwiler. These men represent leaders in professional and business life here. Following Tisdale's story Dr. Neff A. T. Higgibotham, Captain Kyle, Harry Fauver and Commonwealth's Attorney Kerr testified. With the exception of Kerr, all four men admitted making an "arrangement" with Tisdale more than a year ago to manufacture brandy for their private use. Dr. Neff admitted "getting" the still and helping Tisdale put it into operation. CONTRIBUTE TOWARD OPERATION He and the other three men admitted contributing towards its operation, but all except Kyle said they never got any brandy. Kyle said he had made several trips to Tisdale's home in the county, but couldn't remember how much he had taken away. All four exonerated the Commonwealth's attorney of any connection with the "company". Dr. Neff said Tisdale was to make brandy exclusively for the "company's benefit, but when they learned the tiller was furnishing the booze to "out siders" they kicked whereupon Tisdale got "bad". Dr. Neff declared he and his associates tried to get their material and equipment from Tisdale but without success, except for the still, which Dr. Neff said he destroyed. CONFESSES TO COMMONWEALTH Realizing that in disposing of the brandy outside "official circles" would likely get them in trouble, Dr. Neff said he made a confession to the Com- monwealth's attorney. The latter said he had a talk with Tisdale and advised him to quit moonshining, telling him he said that he had "information" that Tisdale was in the business. While Kyle was the only member of the "combine" who admitted getting any liquor at all, Tisdale said he had supplied Dr. Neff with 100 gallons and Kyle with 500 gallons. He said Kyle got six gallons on the night his plant was raided, which was January 26, 1922. The jury gave Tisdale four months in jail and fined him $300. Because members of the brandy "ring" were called to testify, they will not be prosecuted, the fact that they were put on the stand by the State giv ing them immunity from punishment.

About. 2,000 officers and men are directly affected as the rominder of Major-General Allen's command in the Coblenz bridgehead zone on the Rhine already were under home orders.

MAKES NO EXPLANATION The War Secretary made no explanation of steps that would be taken to turn the Coblenz sector over to the allied commanders for policing and to hold the bridgehead as a means for further advances into Germany to enforce treaty obligations. The three bridgehead positions were taken up under the armistice for this purpose, and their occupation confirmed in the treaty of Versailles and the treaty between the United States and Germany. It was admitted at the War Department that the action of the United States in completely abandoning the Rhineland position might have some effect on the negotiations resulting from Secretary Hughes' action in submitting a request that the United States receive a share in German reparations payments already made to cover maintenance of the armies on the Rhine.

Richmond, Va. 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. PAGE, 4 Auburn Ave., Richmond Va. try GR ical the 603 NORTH SECOND STREET.

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 Medicine 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.
