WE SERVE - INHUMAN - ADVERTISING Virginia S VOLUME XXXIX, NO. 21 LOUISIANA AND TEXAS PLANNING TO MAKE KLANISM A FELONY Continued Outrages Arouse Governor and Other Officials to Action. Galveston, March 26.—Masked and unmasked bands who under cover of night, take men and women from their homes, flag them, apply a coating of tar and feathers and order them "to leave town" are not going to be allowed to operate with impunity in Texas and Louisiana much longer. Gov. Parker of Louisiana has announced his intention to seek legislative action making Ku Klux Klanism a felony in Louisiana and State Senator H. L. Darwin of Texas, has announced similar measures will no sought in the Texas Legislature. The Ku Klux Klan will be the biggest issue in the impending political campaign in Texas and it is apparently due to this fact that Gov. Pat M. Neff candidate for reelection has denied for the first time that he is a member of the klan and said it was not needed to enforce the laws in Texas. ORGANZATION TO FIGHT KLAN Although voicetous denials have been made on behalf of the Klan as to responsibility for many outrages, an organization known as the "Knights of the Visible Empire" has been formed in Texas and Oklahoma to combat the Klan. Recent instances of mob action include the flogging of a Dallas lumber plant manager and a picture frame; the flogging, tarring and feathering of a Catholic priest at Shaton, the killing of a man who sought to protect an elderly ma nfrom a masked band at Nashville, Ark. and the flogging of a former justice of the peace at Beaumont. Vitriol's criticism of those "who operate masked and under cover of night has had at least one noticeable effect—the masks are being left behind. In two late whipping outrages the bands were not masked. Public activities of the Ku Klux Klan in Texas have been confined to parades, with or without official consent, and appearances of Klansmen at church meetings where donations are handed to the pastor. That the Klan has not confined itself to these benevolent actions, however, is clearly established. An open letter published at MEDIA, Texas on the occasion of the removal of martial law February 27 said: "We hereby serve notice on the law less element of our population that be causes of the withdrawal of the State constabulary forces we will not count nounce any of the acts of lawless and violence that were so prevalent in our midst sixty days ago. If your acts are such as merit court action we will see that you are carried to court. If the courts cannot handle your case or will not do so, we will handle it ourselves in our own way." WHIPPING OF BOOTLEGGERS Nocturnal whippings appear chiefly directed against bootlegging and immorality. This variety or organized mob action is entirely distinct from the form of mob violence known as lynching. A lynching mob has no central authority and little organization. Its actions are usually unpremeditated until within a few hours before it strikes. The modern night rider or Klanist, or whatever he may be called, appear actuated by a sense of militant purityism, combined with racial and religious prejudice. A fanatical hatred of liquor and of those who sell, make or drink liquor is his dominating trait. Next to his hatred for liquor is intolerance of moralgressors. There have been no instances in Texas where organized mob action has been directed against persons guilty of such crimes as murder, highway robbery, bank looting or burglary. Nor so far as known has the Ku Klux Klan offered its aid to the authorities against crimes of this sort. Opposition to mob violence in Beaumont crystallized yesterday, when petitions were put into circulation containing names of more than a hundred bankers, lawyers, physicists and business men calling for a mass meeting Monday night. March 27, in American Legion Hall to devise plans for enforcement of the law. The petition recites that "the time has come when all men both high and low must be given the protection guaranteed by the State and national Constitutions." PARADE AT LAREDO PREVENTED Great excitement was aroused at Lorodo by circulars announcing the intention of the Ku Klux Klan to hold a parade there on the night of March 19. Immediate action was taken by the an thoraties. The Sheffield forbade the maraure, the city authorities passed an ordinance making masked parades illegal and District Judge Mulally, by charging a Grand Jury to investigate the Klan, characterized it as an "unlawful organization gotten up for the purpose of violating, the laws of the State." On the night of March 19 seven hundred special officials well armed mingled with the crowds on the streets and there was no parade. Two instances in which the Ku Klux Klan has been more or less directly connected with homicide in Texas were at Austin on December 15 when Peder Clayton, a taxi driver, was killed in the vicinity of a hall where the Klan was meeting and at Lorena, Tex as last year where Louis Crow, a Waco Laundryman, spectator at a Klan pade met death in an alteration which occurred when Sheriff Buchanan of McLennan county tried to stop the parade met death in an alteration which wounded at the time. In the Clayton case an Austin city detective, a patrolman and a Federal prohibition agent were found to have been involved in the shooting which ended in Clayton's death, their pleas of killing in line of duty being upheld. Owing to the prominence of those implicated in the killing this case attracted wide attention. It appears that Clayton and two companions had stopped in an alley behind the building where the Klan assemblies were held "to take a drink." On driving out of the alley a number of shots were fired, Clayton receiving mortal wounds. CHANGE OF CONTEMPT ENTERED Investigation of this case developed a charge of contempt against Police Commissioner J. D. Copeland of Austria and F. G. Reynolds clerk of the Austrian Woodmen of the World for refusing to answer Grand Jury questions regarua- (Continued on Third Page.) Y. W. C. A. NOTES. An excellent Musical and Literary program was rendered at Vesters on last Sunday afternoon. Among the numbers were an instrumental solo by Miss Roberta Randolph; a piano duet by Miss Bresas B. Jones and Ellen Williams; a vocal solo by Miss Maggie Scott and a recitation by Miss Elena Beite. These numbers very greatly enjoyed by an appreciative audience. A special program under the direction of Mrs. Nannie Frasier will be presented at the Vesper hour on Sunday afternoon. Come and spend the hour from 5 to 6 P. M. with us. On Thursday evening, March 23rd, a very pretty wedding was solemnized in the Assembly room of the "Y" when Miss Pearl McCoy and Mr. Alfred Lucas were united in wedlock by Rev. W. R. Howerton. The attendants were Misses Mollie Smith, and Mary Williams and Messrs. Robert King and C. O. Dean. IDEAL SOCIETY NEWS. A remarkable progress has been made by the National Ideal Benefit Society, according to a statement made by Supreme Master, A. W. Holmes, in addressing the Richmond District Council a few days ago. He stated among other things that during these distressing times the order had kept faith with its members in paying all of its obligations and that the order is in a very satisfactory condition. He seemed extremely pleased with the splendid report received from Mrs. Eileen B. Taylor of Philadelphia, Pa. He warmly congratulated Deputy T. L. Beverly and the Richmond District for the great work which they are doing, having made application for charities for eight new lodges and four Nurseries in the last ninety days in the city. The Deputy's Conference held a few days ago by the Supreme Master was of great interest to all who attended. Each person expressed himself as having been much benefited by the meeting. Those present were: Rev. W. L. Anderson V. S. M. of Beaverdam, Va.; Mrs. Mary E. Overton of Beaverdam, Va.; Mrs. M. E. Liggins of Ellerson, Va.; Mr. T. L. Beverly; Mr. J. R. Hickle Mrs. M. S. Payne; Mrs. Rosa B. Atkins Miss Fannie M. Taylor; Mrs. Susie H. Robinson; Mrs. Salle B. Cogbill; Miss Sarah F. Ferrell. The Ideal Nursery board held its regular meeting and some very good plans were adopted for the benefit of the order. The great Ideal popularity voting contest now on in the city by members of the order is certainly an interesting one. The question of the hour is why From the number of votes that are he will be the most popular candidate, ing cast it is hard to judge. Mr. Thomas Pinkney, Special Deputy brought out a large number to join the Lodge of which he is Counsellor. At its last meeting refreshments were served and all enjoyed the meeting. Mr. A. W. Holmes and Deputy T. L. Beverly were present. Deputy J. R. Hicc is out of the city on business for the Order. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, APRIL 1, 1922 THE SOLDIER BONUS LEGISLATION PASSES THE LOWER HOUSE Supporters Include 242 Republicans, 90 Democrats, 1 Socialist. Washington, March 23. The $4,000,000,000 soldiers' bonus bill was passed tonight by the House by an overwhelming majority. It now goes to the Senate, where its fate is regarded as uncertain. The vote was 333 to 70 or sixty-four more than two-thirds majority necessary for passage of the measure under the parliamentary procedure selected by Republican leaders for the expressed purpose of preventing the Democrats from offering a motion to reconmit. Party lines disappeared both in the general debate and on the final roll call. 248 Republicans, 90 Democrats and 1 Socialist supporting the bill and 42-Republicans and 28 Democrats voting against it. POLITICS FREQUENTLY INJECTED Politics were injected into the debate several times during the day and resulted in some warm exchanges. Representative Pou, Democrat, North Carolina, decried what he characterized as the efforts of the majority to make the bonus a partisan issue while Representatives Campbell, Republican, Kansas, and Longworth, Republican Outo, assailed the minority report on the bill filed by Representative Kitch in of North Carolina, the Democrat's leader who is absent from Congress because of illness and four other Democrats of the Ways and Means Committee. DENOUNCES HARVEY REFERENCE Mr. Longworth declared that the reference in the minority report to Ambassador Harvey at London as the "blasphemous, bibulons bootlicker at the Court of St. James" was "most disrespectfully vulgar." He characterized the whole report as "cheap, wantonly, vulgar and disgraceful." As the debate dragged along late in the day, many members began to manifest impatience and towards the last some of the speakers had difficulty inggeting a hearing because of the repeated and loud demands for a vote. Speaker Gillett had trouble at times in maintaining order despite a liberal use of the gavel. UPHOLDS SUSPENSION OF RULES At the outset of the day Democratic leaders sought to upset the majority program to have the bill considered under a suspension of the rules, but Speaker Gillett over-ruled the point of order that the resolution making this a special suspension of the rules day was in violation of the House rules. There followed an hour's debate on the resolution but most of the talk was about the bonus bill itself. As passed by the House, the bonus bill would provide for immediate cash payments to veterans whose adjusted service pay would not exceed $50 and would give to other veterans the option of these four plans. Adjusted service certificates, with provisions authorizing loans by banks in the First three years after next October 1, and by the government there after; the certificates to run for twenty years and to have a face value at maturity of the amount of the adjusted service credit at the rate of $1 a day for domestic service and $1.25 a day for foreign service, increased by 25 per cent plus interest at the rate of 4.12 per cent compounded annually. VOCATIONAL TRAINING AID Vocational training aid after January 1, 1923 at the rate of $1.5 a day the total payments not to exceed now ever, 140 per cent of the adjusted service credit. Farm and home aid under which veterans who purchase or improve farms or homes would be paid after July 1, 1923 a sum equal to their adjusted service credit increased by 25 per cent. Land settlement by which land would be reclaimed under the supervision of a special board, and farm units established for sale to the veterans at a price fixed by the board less the amount of the adjusted service credit due the purchasers. In only two important particulars, does this measure differ from the one passed by the House two years ago, and that shelved in the Senate last July. The original cash bonus option was eliminated and the bank loan provision of the adjusted service certificates title substituted.

March 13, 1924 Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, 902 St. James Street, City. Dear Mrs. Walker: Very often in our clinic work we run across the saddest kind of cases and just at present I am worried because of a man who needs $100 in order to have a chance at recovery. His name is Joseph Watson and he lived at Trevilians. He went into the C and O. working on the road and broke down with tuberculosis. He is known in Louisiana but poor soul, really has no home, no people and no place which is responsible for him. The C and O. would take care of him but cannot do so because he worked for them so short a time. Trevilians is so small and he left there so young that it is useless to write there. Louisa has given us $10.50 which amounts to three weeks board. It seems that I have no one else to write to who is in any way responsible. It is such cases as these that tear your heart. This poor man is an early case and Dr. Carter thinks has a real chance to recover. It will, however, cost this miserable $100 and he hasn't it. It seems ridiculous to live in a Christian State and stand by and watch a man become hopelessly ill be cause of so trivial a sum. I have turned to you very often be fore and you have always not only helped but gone way beyond what I asked of you. Can you help me with this man? Very sincerely yours MONEY FROM YOU Director, Bureau of Tuberculosis Education The Council of Colored Women of Richmond, Va. will give the public and their friends an opportunity to contribute to a fund of $100 for Joseph Watson, a tubercular patient without means to help restore his health; also to hear the Lawyers of Richmond, discuss a few things "Richmond Needs."

The Funeral of Mr. John Bolling. the funeral of Mr. John Bolling, who died Friday, March 24th at 6 o'clock P. M., was conducted Monday, March 27th, from First Baptist church Rev. W. T. Johnson, pastor officiated, assisted by Rev. S. C. Burrell and Rev T. E. Bowling. He had been a faithful member of said church for about 45 years and a deacon for 20 years. The useful life of the deceased and the great patience borne by him during his long illness was so beautifully pictured by the pastor, that it brought great comfort and consolation to the bereaved ones. He was a kind, indulgent father, gentle and true to his children at all times; a loving neighbor and a devout Christian man. Three daughters, Mrs. Susie B. Jones, Misses Maylon and Jalla Bolling; Two sons, H. B. and W. A. Bolling; five grand sons; a brother, Mr. Cornelius Bolling of Newark, N.

PRESIDENT KING CALLS THE VIRGINIA MISSIONARY BAPTIST CONVENTION. Richmond, Va., March 9, 1922. Mear Dear Brethren: The Virginia Missionary Baptist Convention will hold its Eighth Annual Session with the Loyal Street Church, Denville, Va. Rev. C. T. Murray B. D., pastor; Wednesday May the tenth through Sunday the 14th. The Pastors and Churches of Denville are making every necessary preparation to make this session a mountain top entry from point of entertainment. Permit me to thank you for the very salient way in which you responded to the semi-annual session assembled for the purpose of dedicating our new Administration Hall. Through your loyalty, this effort was a glorious success, assembling representatives from seven State Conventions and placing on the table four thousand dollars, which were greatly needed to put the finishing touches on the new building and pay off some contracts already due. This has been a distinct and most excellent achievement for Colored Baptists particularly and the cause of Christian Education generally. This building cost us considerably more than one hundred thousand dollars. We paid while it was in course of effect more than fifty thousand dollars. We still owe about fifty thousand on it. This tells you how necessary it is for every church and individual to debrief best for the coming session. Every church should aim to bring for all conventional purposes not less than one dollar for each member you carry on your roll. Let our business and professional men, who must of necessity by the principles which we teach make special contribution. All individual contributions will be listed in the minutes separately. There are in our Foreign Mission Treasury, four thousand dollars. We have promised you as soon as we have received five thousand dollars, to bear some special work in Africa to the credit of our convention. Don't fail to send a large sum for Foreign Missions and any money you may have like for this purpose In your Church, District Conventions or Associations. The good people of Virginia should be known in Afrien. It is our desire that a large number of business, professional men and laymen generally shall attend the conventions and take a larger hand in the affairs of the denomination; thus we have arranged for a laymen's hour Friday morning and a business and professional men's conference Friday afternoon. May 12. At these periods the program will be turned over to our laymen. Let a large number of laymen come; the King's Business calls for you. Brethren these are peculiar times, the winds are contrary and the waves lash in terrible fury against our bark. Every man to his oars and with mighty prayer breath and desperate faith strokes, let us drive on in the name of Him who said, "Lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the ages." Let this holy strife not cease until our oppressed and suffering people are extricated from the throes of death an danger of illiteracy, poverty and dissention and lifted to those lofty heights, when we can present to our great God, a peculiar people thoroughly leavened to the lump with Christian graces, strong in solidarity for truth and righteousness, filled with a divine intelligence with great 'institutions' standing for God and His righteousness, ready to minister with efficient hand to every known human need. If you cannot be present in Danny's mail your contribution to the president not later than May 3. Yours, for our event session, T. J. KING, President U. N. L. A. MASS MEETING.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES One Year ..... $ 2.00 Six Months ..... 1.10 Three Months ..... 60 Foreign Subscriptions ..... 2.50 SATURDAY ..... APRIL 1, 1922 EDITOR DAVIS' CRITICISM. Editor Benjamin J. Davis, the literary genius of the Atlanta, Georgia independent publishes in full our recent comment on Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson and his relationship to the regular Republican organization of Georgia. Under the caption of "Brother Mitchell does not know his case" he says: In another column of this issue we publish a long editorial by John Mitchell, Jr., editor of the Richmond Planet, entitled, Henry Linee Johnson, in which he undertakes to defend his record without knowing the facts. In fact, the editorial is an attack on the editor of the independent, but knowing Brother Mitchell's good intentions as we do, we will not accept it as such and as a matter of fairness and justice to Mr. Johnson, we publish Brother Mitchell's defense. Brother Mitchell rounds us very much of the attorney who appeared in court for his client and did not know his case. Brother Mitchell is entirely ignorant of the case he undertakes to argue. If he knew the facts, he would have kept as mum as Colonel Johnson has. It is an error for a newspaper to undertake to handle a matter it is ignorant of. If it ever becomes necesary for us to enlighten Brother Mitchell he would be ashamed of the defense he tried to put up in the absence of the truth, but if he thinks his defense will do our mutual friend any good, we will publish it in the same columns that we have criticised him in. We are fair and believe in manliness. We do not cheat at cards; we lay our hand up on the table with face up and the other fellow must either pass or show down. Brother Mitchell before you appear as an attorney for another client, study your case and learn the facts. It may be that all Editor Davis says is true. We do not profess to know all about the political conditions in Georgia and we have no inside information as to the happenings at the National Republican Convention at Chicago. We have based the case upon the information furnished by the Atlanta, Georgia Independent and our personal observations of conditions in Washington. We have not heard Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson utter one word derogatory of the brainy Georgia editor or enter a plea in his own behalf. If then Editor Davis has with-held information and the verdict has been rendered only up on such evidence as was at hand, who is to be blamed, the editor of the Planet or the editor of the Independent? But we have taken a more extended view of conditions and have based our case upon broader grounds. Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson is admittedly the spokesman for the regular Republican organization of Georgia in national affairs. As to the legality of his election, there can be no question. He has been subjected to repeated vicious attacks by his associate and friend, based as Editor Davis intimates upon inside information of which inside information the public, including the Republicans of Virginia have not been informed. Is this fair? Is it just? Is it in keeping with the open policy which this brilliant Georgian proclaims in the language, which he has quoted? It seems to us that if the recognized leader of the Republicans of Georgia has been guilty of improper conduct, he should be called to the bar of his own party in Georgia and be given an opportunity to defend himself. His own party associates should pass judgment upon him and the attacks up on him in that very influential journal should cease. You cannot discredit the leader of the regular Republican organization of Georgia in this manner without weakening the organization it self and without opening the way for the regular Republican Party's disorganization. We now have the spectacle of a runup Republican organization, backed by the distinguished occupant of the White House and the chairman of the National Republican organization attacking the regular Republican party organization in that State and the leading Republican journal in the State attacking the leader of the regular Republican organization. In order to continue the assaults up on Henry Lincoln Johnson, he should first be removed as the head of the regular Republican organization and this removal should come after he has been found guilty of betraying the State Republican organization, which elevated him to power. It may be that we are not cognizant of all the facts in the case, but it seems to us that the rule of procedure, which we have outlined is the only proper one to be observed by Hon. Benjamin J. Davis and his loyal supporters in the State of Georgia. In passing, it may be well to state that Henry Lincoln Johnson has not asked us to defend him. We presume that he is of the opinion that he needs no defense. He has not even acknowledged receipt of the issues containing our defense of him. We have been a disinterested spectator and it may be that we have unduly exerted ourselves in behalf of one who does not need our sympathy or deserve our support. However, we felt like meddling, like expressing an opinion inasmuch as we had taken up the cudgel in behalf of the regular Republican Party in that State in particular and Editor Benjamin J. Davis in general. We wished to see the regular organization succeed and we took the unique position of advising some of our friends; who probably knew more about handling the situation than we did and who have been brutally frank in saying so Selah.

Thru their principal officers, the Loprice Land Corporation and the Highway Realty and Entertainment Corporation are co-operating to the fullest in selling their lands. The leading spirits of the Loprice Land Corporation have taken stock with the Highway Corporation and the leading spirits of the Highway Corporation have taken stock with the Loprice Land Corporation. The Washington Highway runs directly through the properties of both corporations and both are reached by the Ashland Electric Line.

At Lakeview the Highway Realty and Entertainment Corporation has a farm of nearly four hundred acres which is being sub-dived to be sold in small farms and on easy terms. They have also here the most beautiful picnic grounds around Richmond. The two companies are now preparing a large circular, each having one full page to explain its propositions. These circulations will be distributed throughout the colored sections on Saturday or Monday and should prove interesting as they will show what is being done by two companies for the settlement of living conditions. Mr W. G. Singleton is President; Mr. S. P. B. Steward, Secretary and Mr. Chas. N. Jackson Treasurer of the Lorence Land Corporation. Rev. Wm. H. Branch is President. Prof. J. H. B. Blackwell.

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA The Sunday School of the Mt. Calvary Baptist church is pressing forward to the desired standard or goal set for the year. We are a little behind in meeting on Sunday mornings, there fore let us best'r ourselves and come out at 9:30 A. M. Last Sabbath we listened to some very encouraging remarks from our pastor and the Cradle Superintendent Mrs. Laura T. Best. 11:30 A. M. our pastor preached a soul stirring sermon the people rejoice greatly in giving praises to our Lord and Master Jesus Christ. Our passtor used for his'h theme: "The Friend ship of Jonathan and David." After the morning services, our pastor left for the 1st Shiloh Baptist church in Hanover county, Va., where he preached the anniversary services of the Knights of Pythias and the Courts of Calanthe. He used for a subject: "The Mind of Christ." The people rejoiced and praised the Lord greatly. Rev. Cobbs was asked to call again some time in the near future. He being a young man, yet he can carry his corner wherever he is placed, when it comes to serving the Lord. His mada sang a solo, that stirred the people greatly. May God bless them both is our prayer. 8:30 P. M. we had another strong Gospel sermon at Calvary by our pastor from Mat. 1-3-8. Short talks were delivered by the following faithful trustees of our church: Brothers John Barner, A. D. Daniel and Wm. Sewell. They produced evidence and facts concerning the necessity of doing all we can in paying off the debt on the church. Tomorrow at 11:30 A. M Rev. Cobb will preach using as his subject "Seven Steps Upward." Everybody is invited Come one, come all; let us fight the battle of the Lord, and we will receive that great reward. . 3:30 P. M. we are hoping to have a great time at the communion services. We are looking for you to be present 8:30 P. M. we will begin our revival services, which will last 10 nights. The services will be conducted by the Rev. G. W. Brent of Washington, D. C., we all are well acquainted with our broth er. He knows nothing but Jesus Christ and Him crucified. Let us not forget that we promised to give ten per cent of our earnings to the Church tomorrow, for the week he ginning the 27th of March and ending the 2nd of April. Let us do our full duty and pray that God's Will may no done. We were very glad to hear that Mr. Henderson and Mr. Simms Giesley of our community had professed religion through the efforts of Rev. Cobba, Miss Corline White also did the same thing through the efforts of Rev. A. D. Clarke, Mr. John Foster and others. These events encourages our hearts greatly being prior to the Revival services. We also will like to state that not a Sunday morning pass that some time is not used by our pastor and n members for the same. Rev. W. E. Brown preached all day last Sabbath at the Mt. Nebo Baptist church, West Point, Va. In the evening he preached the anniversary service of the Knights of Pythias and the Courts of Calanthe. Our brother is also one of the Deputy Grand Chancellors of the Order. Miss Elaine Lightner a member of our Sunday School took part in the debate on Computsory Education, last week at the Armstrong High School. UNION LEVEL ITEMS. Sunday was indeed a great day with us. Dr. G. W. Bailey D. D. of Pittsburgh, Pa., is with us conducting a revival. He preached four powerful sermons; one to the church in the morning; one to the men at 3 o'clock; one to the women at 6 o'clock and again at 8 o'clock. All of these sermons were filled with spirit and power, which so suited in the saving of many souls. Our church has been filled to its utmost capacity each night and many precious souls are being converted and regenerated to God. We are indeed delighted to have Dr. Bailey with us and we are thankful to our pastor for sending for this man of God to help us in great campaign and can truly say that our pastor made no mistake by sending for this man of God. One of our greatest features in our revival was Saturday night's meeting. Our church was filled and the spirit was just as high as on the previous nights. Dr. Bailey is still with us and we ask for your prayers. RISING MT. ZION ITEMS We are glad to note the steady increase in every phase of the church and all seem to have taken on new zeal towards the advancement of 'God's Kingdom. We are sure every one is acquainted with the church schedule hence we are asking you to be on time thus enabling you to secure a comfortable seat and a full benefit of the service. The pastor continues his series of sermons and will take the third Journey on next Sunday as mentioned on the placards. A band of loyal sisters gathered on last Sunday eve and agreeably surprised the pastor's wife on her first birthday among us. The table laden with the many delicacies only bespoke in a feeble way their devotion to so nobla a character. There are still quite number of sick among us. Please call to see them. FIND TORTURE TREE SIX MILES FROM DALLAS. Dallas, Texas, March 28—Evidence tending to show that possibly numerous men have been whipped at the place where F. H. Etheredge, Dallas lumber dealer was flogged a week ago has developed, officers said today, through statements of colored people who attend the New Zion Church located near the grove in which the latest known whipping party took place. The "torture tree" to which Etheredge was bound is about six miles south of Dallas. Officers found numerous pieces of linen, mostly men's handkerchiefs on the ground.

Take OR at Night THE SOLDIER BONUS (Continued from First Page.) were today from the time Speaker Gill lett's gavel fell at 11 A. M. until the last vote had been cast as tail shades of evening enveloped the Capitol. And not in many years had such scenes been enacted on the floor where there frequently was an unprouse with alternate applause laughter and jeers. Like the House itself the galleries were pro-bonus, and supporters of the bill were frequently applauded, despite the infringement of the rules which this entailed. But the greatest applause was not for a proponent but an opponent, the members and many of the spectators rising and tendering an ova tion to "Uncle Joe" Cannon, as the grizzled holder of the American record for length of legislative service, arose late in the day to deliver a two-minute speech in which he declared that the men who served in the world war owed that service to their country. 75 TAKE PART IN DEBATE In all there was slightly more than five hours of discussion with 75 of the 435 members taking part in it. Transcript of their remarks would fill about two ordinary sized newspapers. Many of them were on their feet only a minute, or two, or three but, the House gave unanimous consent for all members to extend their remarks in the Congressional Record during the next few days, and editions of that volume during that time promise to be exceedingly bulky. Arguments against the bill were more frequent than those in its favor, due to the fact that many Democrats who announced that they would sup port it vigorously attacked some of its provisions and the Ways and Means Committee for failure to provide means of financing the bonus. In the course of the debate the measure was referred to as a "gold brick" a hogus bill a hokus-pokus and a "deformed and malformed creature." OPEN HAMPTON'S NEW ATHLETIC FIELD ON MAY 20.

SCHOOL, (pretall) Newark, N. J. JENKINS CONFESSED ON DEATH BED TO MURDER OF CURTIS Brother and Sister-in-Law Tell of Death-bed Statement. VALIDITY AS EVIDENCE IS QUESTIONED HERE. Lawyers Declare Alleged Confession No Grounds for New Trial. Counsel for Walter R. Hines, convicted slayer of Patrolman Washington L. Curtis, are prepared to lay before the court "after-discovered evidence" fixing the blame for the murder on a dead war veteran, it became known yesterday. It is the name of Curtis R. Jenkins lowered into his grave one month ago with military honors that is being dragged into the mire, while his aged mother lies prostrated from his death. A blood brother and a sister-in-law stand out as his accusers. That Jenkins on his death-bed assumed responsibility for the Curtis murder, is the story told by Mrs. Bessie Jenkins of 2602 Bainbridge street. This is corroborated, counsel for Hines declare, by an affidavit from Fred M. Jenkins of Chesterfield County, the dead veteran's brother. Both statements will be introduced, it is now planned when Judge Ernest H. Wells of Hustings Court Part II, hears arguments for a new trial for Hines. SAY IT HAS NO LEGAL WEIGHT The announcement of the alleged confession on the eve of the argument for new trink for Hines, created considerable comment, although prominent criminal attorneys were quick to declare that it would have no legal weight. The law clearly defines the scope of death-bed confessions and that accredited to Jenkins, does not stand the test, they assert. Police also gave little credence to the story of Mrs. Jenkins, pointing out that no motive for the crime had been given and that the dying youth at the time he is alleged to have made the confession was highly delirious. In fact, according to neighbors, Jenkins from the time he was brought to his home unconscious, never regained his senses. His physician, however, refused last night to talk on this phase of the case. Death resulted from pneumonia and meningitis. J. M. Turner, attorney for Hines, late yesterday declined to discuss the case while Louis O. Wendenburg, his associate, earlier took the same attitude. Mr. Turner admitted that he had an affidavit from Fred M. Jenkins declaring that the man had come to his office and had made his statements in the presence of disinterested persons. POLICE START TO CHECK UP Police on publication of the alleged confession immediately started to check up on it. Their investigation dis closed that Fred R. Jenkins who corroates his sister-in-law in regard to murder accusation has a lengthy record. Police Court records show his arrest on several charges, while the names of two other brothers are to be found on the blotter. Curtis R. Jenkins appears on the police blotter twice since the war, both times for minor offenses which resulted in small fines. None of the Jenkins book police point out have ever been found carrying a weapon of any sort. There is nothing on record to show that Curtis Jenkins had ever had any dealings with "bootleggers" and as far as the police can learn he was never in timate with Hines. Mrs. Jenkins when seen late yester day again asserted that her brother-in-law had said that he had killed a man. He did not at any time mention Patrol man Curtis by name, his words being, "I killed him. Hines didn't." Young Jenkins died on February 23 after suffering for more than a week with pneumonia and monigitis. He had been picked up on the street and brought home unconscious. Dr. Raymond C. Hooker was called to attend him and two trained nurses were employed. He was delirious practically the whole time he was ill. It was during a period of lucidness that he made his alleged confession, according to Mrs. Jenkins. This was six days before the death. Mrs. Jenkins thought at the time that the words were those of a delirious man but changed her mind when Fred R. Jenkins said that Curtis had said practically the same thing to her. MRS. JENKINS SPOKE FRANKLY Mrs. Jenkins spoke frankly and with apparently notorious counsel. She said that on two occasions was the plaintiff in suit against the Virginia Railway and Power Company. She stated that Wendonburg of Hines' counsel had been her representative in one suit. While the alleged confession might have weight in event Hines is granted a new trial on other grounds, it will not have any material bearing on the pending application lawyers assert. The principle of evidence on deathbed confession is too well established, they say this being shown in the Valley case where the dying' statement of one of the victims was not permitted as evidence the victims was not permitted as evidence because the man had been told that he was doing fine and had a chance to recover. The confession of a man who is dying has no effect in law except where the man is told he is dying and cannot live." It was pointed out by one lawyer. Then if he makes a statement the law presumes that a man about to cure eternity will not do so with a lie on his lips. But statements made in delirium without the man having knowledge that he is dying, the courts disregard and exclude. This principle is well established." The murder of Patrolman Curtis was in August last. Hines was arrested a few days later and was placed on trial in January. After the jury had deliberated 2 or more days a verdict of guilty in the second degree was return ed. Commonwealth's Attorney Willis C. Pulliam was assisted by Kirk Mat thews in the prosecution. POLICE MAKE COMMENT The police were naturally intensely interested in bringing the slayer of their comrade to justice. The alleged confession of Jenkins, yesterday brought considerable comment from them. "This is the second dead man to get the blame for that murder," was the comment of Captain A. S. Wright. A check is being made however, on everything connected with the alleged confession. If there is any foundation, other than the ravings of a delirious man, the police want to know it. Arguments on the motion for a new trial will be made probably next week. The long delay in arguing the motion was due first to inability to get the typwritten transcript of the record ready. It is now in proper shape, but the court calendar has been filled with other matters and Judge Wetts has not been able to fix on a late acceptable to both sides. THE PYTHIAN CELEBRATION IN LYNCHBURG. Lynchburg, Va., March 27.—Sunday March the 26th was indeed a great day in Pythianism. Nature seemed to lend her hand to the grandeur of the occasion by presenting the most beautiful day of balmy spring weather seen thus far in the New Year. To the hundreis of Knights and the ladies of the Courts of Calanthe the rejuvenation of Glorious Spring was contagious on their annual Thanksgiving Day when for many years has been celebrated the 4th Sunday in Marca. Promptly at 2:30 P. M. the Knights filed from the Castle Hall to form the line of march to the 8th Street Baptist Church where the Thanksgiving Services were held. Companies of the Uniform Ranks under the command of Captain Robert Bryant of Rank No. 20 acting under orders of Major George Ward. Marshall of the Day took up their position at head of the formation. With military precision the marchers proceeded up Fifth Avenue to Park and Monroe, through Monroe to Eighth and down Eighth to the Church at the corners of 5th and Federal. They found the ladies of the Courts occupying the Sunday School auditorium awaiting their arrival. So long was the line of marchers that at no time could both ends be seen either by by-standers or anyone in line. The main and Sunday school auditoriums of the church were combined by throwing up the sliding doors intervening but even this increased capacity was taxed to the Limit by the mass of humanity attending the services. Grand District Deputy Grand Worthy Chancellor J. B. Evans who is prominent as Past Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of the A. F. and A. Masons and who is still Grand Treasurer of that distinguished Fraternity and who has served seven years as the Grand Deputy of the Pythianus was Master of Ceremonies. Having labored so zealously for the advancement of Pythianism in this locality it must have made his heart leap forth with joy to witness the record breaking attendance of the "hundreds of Knights and ladies of the Courts as concrete fruits of his untiring efforts. After the singing of the Pythian Ode and the regular opening he presented the following financial statement prepared by Grand Chancellor Mitchell, Jr., for the entire state as follows: Total receipts $77,755.70; total members in good standing 10,227; total disbursements $30,488.80; total grand balance $67,296.90 Mrs. Martha W. Evans. Grand Deputy and Grand Worthy Counsellor presented the following financial report: Total receipts $38,947.78; total members in good standing 6,310; total disbursements $16,777.21; total balance $22,170.57. Combined reports: Grand total receipts $136,733.48; Grand total disbursements $47,266.01; Grand total balance $89,467.47; Grand total membership 16,537. Thus, in spite of adverse criticisms here and there under the management of Grand Chancellor and Grand Worthy Counsellor, John Mitchell, Jr., Pythianism has consistently moved onward and upward, in its inevitable march of history. Mrs. Nannie Hucles Nelson read a paper on Pythianism whose construction was so instructive, comprehensive, inspiring and scholarly that its sentiment made the heart of every Knight and lady of the Court swell with pride. It is to be hoped that at some near future date space will be allotted in the columns of the Planet for its publication in full. Rev. J. W. Tynes, newly elected pastor of the Eight Street Baptist church preached from the first stanza of the 133rd Panama: "Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity." The sermon was strong and forceful, manifesting the ability of the speaker to cope with the magnitude of the situation. Above all we cannot fall to mention the singing of the audience led by the choir of the church. Truly did "Music lend Enchantment to the soul" for when the hundreds of voices burst forth in praise and Thanksgiving to God the melody in volume and sweetness indeed surpassed all understand ing. MONEY LOANED ON REAL ESTATE APPLY TO Mechanics Savings Bank JOHN MITCHELL, JR., PRESIDENT $2.00 sent to this office will place The Planet in your home THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA DR. KELLY MILLER DR. KELLY MILLER (Continued From First Page) Church. Music was rendered by the choir of the Fifth Street Baptist Church. Grand Chancellor John Mitchell, Jr., then introduced Dr. Miller as a unique character, who in observing present day conditions was the variable "watchman upon the wall." The distinguished guest was evidently greatly pleased with the reception accorded him and the large audience presented to hear all that he wished to say. He proceeded to analyze and discuss existing conditions and the problems, which had come to the nation and the Negro as the result of the World War. He announced that he was not an advocate of peace, for the reas on that every great reform and every great advance made to better the conditions of the Negroes in this country had come as the result of one of these great upheavals WAR A PURIFIER He declared that slavery had been abolished as a result of the Civil War and that the opening up to the Negroes of the great industrial plants of the North had come as a result of this World War. He preached the doctrine of racial equality in all that it implies and he declared himself as opposed to too much deference in the dealings with the white race. He conceded that that race had accomplished much and had done much for us, but that in doing this the white race was protecting itself. He declared that the colored people had made more actual progress during the World War than they had during the preceding period of fifty years. He declared that statistics established the fact of this remarkable advancement. POLITICAL CONDITIONS He paid a tribute to Grand Chancellor John Mitchell, Jr., in having made the race for the governorship of Virginia. For an hour and about twenty minutes, he dealt with present day conditions. He concludes amidst applause, Madame S. E. Briggs sang with charming sweetness a solo, after which Grand Chancellor Mitchell spoke briefly concerning the work of the ruler.

WANTED-Write for Particular. CINE COMPANY, Atlanta, Georgia JENKINS CONFESSED ON DEATI BED TO MURDER OF CURTIS Brother and Sister-in-Law Tell of Death-bed Statement. VALIDITY AS EVIDENCE IS QUESTIONED HERE. Lawyers Declare Alleged Confession No Grounds for New Trial. Counsel for Walter R. Hines, convict ed sherer of Patrolman Washington L. Curtis, are prepared to lay before the court "after-discovered evidence" fixing the blame for the murder on a dead war veteran, it became known yes terday. It is the name of Curtis R. Jenkins lowered into his grave one month ago with military honors that is being dragged into the mire, while his aged mother lies prostrated from his death. A blood brother and a sister-in-law stand out as his accusers. That Jenkins on his death-bed assumed responsibility for the Curtis murder, is the story told by Mrs. Bessie Jenkins of 2602 Bainbridge street. This is corroborated, counsel for Hines declare, by an affidavit from Fred M. Jenkins of Chesterfield County, the dead veteran's brother. Both statements will be introduced, it is now planned when Judge Ernest H. Wells of Hustings Court Part II, hears arguments for a new trial for Hines. SAY IT HAS NO LEGAL WEIGHT The announcement of the alleged confession on the eve of the argument for new trial for Hines, created considerable comment, although prominent criminal attorneys were quick to declare that it would have no legal weight. The law clearly defines the scope of death-bed confessions and that accredited to Jenkins, does not stand the test, they assert. Police also gave little credence to the story of Mrs. Jenkins, pointing out that no motive for the crime had been given and that the dying youth at the time he is alleged to have made the confession was highly delirious. In fact, according to neighbors, Jenkins from the time he was brought to his home unconscious, never regained his senses. His physician, however, refused last night to talk on this phase of the case. Death resulted from pneumonia and meningitis. J. M. Turner, attorney for Hines late yesterday declined to discuss the case while Louis O. Wendenburg, his associate, earlier took the same attitude. Mr. Turner admitted that he had an auditvit from Fred M. Jenkins declaring that the man had come to his office and had made his statements in the presence of disinterested persons. POLICE START TO CHECK UP Police on publication of the alleged confession immediately started to check up on it. Their investigation dis closed that Fred R. Jenkins who coronates his sister-in-law in regard to murder accusation has a lengthy record. Police Court records show his arrest on several charges, while the names of two other brothers are to be found on the blotter. Curtis R. Jenkins appears on the police blotter twice since the war, both times for minor offences which resulted in small fines. None of the Jenkins book police point out have ever been found carrying a weapon of any sort. There is nothing on record to show that Curtis Jenkins had ever had any dealings with "bootleggers" and as far as the police can learn he was never in time with Hines. Mrs. Jenkins when seen late yester day again asserted that her brother-in-law had said that he had killed a man. He did not at any time mention Patrol man Curtis by name, his words being, "I killed him. Hines didn't." Young Jenkins died on February 23 after suffering for more than a week with pneumonia and monigitis. He had been picked up on the street and brought home unconscious. Dr. Raymond C. Hooker was called to attend him and two trained nurses were enployed. He was delirious practically the whole time he was ill. It was during a period of lucidness that he made his alleged confession, according to Mrs. Jenkins. This was six days before the death. Mrs. Jenkins thought at the time that the words were those of a delirious man but changed her mind when Fred R. Jenkins said that Curtis had said practically the same thing to her. MRS. JENKINS SPOKE FRANKLY Mrs. Jenkins spoke frankly and with apparently no facial conceal. She said that on two occasions was the plaintiff in suit against the Virginia Railway and Power Company. She stated that Wendenburg of Hines' counsel had been her representative in one suit. While the alleged confession might have weight in event Hines is granted a new trial on other grounds, it will not have any material bearing on the pending application lawyers assert. The principle of evidence on deathbed confession is too well established, they say this being shown in the Valley case where the dying statement of one of the victims was not permitted as evidence because the man had been told that he was doing fine and had a chance to recover. The confession of a man who is dying has no effect in law except where the man is told he is dying and cannot live." It was pointed out by one lawyer. Then if he makes a statement the law presume that a man about to cat er eternity will not do so with a lie on his lips. But statements made in delirium without the man having knowledge that he is dying, the courts disregard and exclude. This principle is well established." The murder of Patrolman Curtis was in August last. Hines was arrested a few days later and was placed on trial in January. After the jury had de liberated 2 or more days a verdict of guilty in the second degree was returned ed. Commonwealth's Attorney Willis C. Pulliam was assisted by Kirk Mat thews in the prosecution. POLICE MAKE COMMENT The police were naturally intensely interested in bringing the slayer of their comrade to justice. The alleged confession of Jenkins, yesterday brought considerable comment from them. "This is the second dead man to get the blame for that murder," was the comment of Captain A. S. Wright. A check is being made however, on everything connected with the alleged confession. If there is any foundation, other than the ravings of a delirious man, the police want to know it. Arguments on the motion for a new trial will be made probably next week. The long delay in arguing the motion was due first to inability to get the typewritten transcript of the record ready. It is now it proper shape, but the court calendar has been filled with other matters and Judge Wells has not been able to fix on a late acceptable to both sides. THE PYTHIAN CELEBRATION IN LYNCHBURG. Lynchburg, Va., March 27—Sunday March the 26th was indeed a great day in Pythianism. Nature seemed to lend her hand to the grandeur of the occasion by presenting the most beautiful day of balmy spring weather seen thus far in the New Year. To the hundreds of Knights and the ladies of the Courts of Calanthe the rejuvenation on Glorious Spring was contagious on this their Annual Thanksgiving Day which for many years has been celebrated the 4th Sunday in Marca. Proptly up at 3:30 P. M. the Knights filed from the Castle Hall to form the line of march to the 5th Street Baptist Church where the Tithe Savings Services were held. Companies of the Uniform Ranks under the command of Captain Robert Bryant or Rank No. 20 acting under orders of Major George Ward. Marshall of the Day took up their position at head of the formation. With military precision the marchers proceeded up Fifth Avenue to Park and Monroe, through Monroe to Eighth and down Eighth to the Church at the corners of 5th and Federal. They found the ladies of the Courts occupying the Sunday School auditorium awaiting their arrival. So long was the line of marchers that at no time could both ends be seen either by bystanders or anyone in line. The main and Sunday school auditoriums of the church were combined by throwing up the sliding doors intervening but even this increased capacity was taxed to the Limit by the mass of humanity attending the services. Grand District Deputy Grand Worthy Chancellor J. B. Evans who is prominent as Past Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of the A. F., and A. Masons and who is still Grand Treasurer of that distinguished Fraternity and who has served seven years as the Grand Deputy of the Pythians was Master of Ceremonies. Having labored so zealously for the advancement of Pythianism in this locality it must have made his heart leap forth winn joy to witness the record breaking attendance of the "hundreds of Knights and ladies of the Courts as concrete fruits of his untiring efforts. After the singing of the Pythian Ode and the regular opening he presented the following financial statement prepared by Grand Chancellor Mitchell, Jr., for the entire state as follows: Total receipts $79,785.70; total members in good standing 10,227; total bursurements $30,488.80; total grand balance $67,296.90 Mrs. Martha W. Evans, Grand Deputy and Grand Worthy Counsellor presented the following financial report: Total receipts $38,947.78; total members in good standing 6,310; total disbursements $16,772.21; total balance $22,170.57. Combined reports: Grand total receipts $136,733.48; Grand total disbursements $47,266.01; Grand total balance $89,464.47; Grand total membership 16,537. Thus, in spite of adverse criticisms here and there under the management of Grand Chancellor and Grand Worthy Counsellor, John Mitchell, Jr., Pythianism has consistently moved on ward and upward in its inevitable march of history. Mrs. Nannie Hueles Nelson read a paper on Pythianism whose construction was so instructive, comprehensive, inspiring and scholarly that its sentiment made the heart of every Knight and lady of the Court swell with pride. It is to be hoped that at some near future date space will be allotted in the columns of the Planet for its publication in full. Rev. J. W. Tynes, newly elected pastor of the Eight Street Baptist church preached from the first stanza of the 133rd Psalms: "Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity." The sermon was strong and forceful, manifesting the ability of the speaker to cope with the magnitude of the situation. Above all we cannot fail to mention the singing of the audience led by the choir of the church. Truly did "Music lend Enchantment to the soul" for when the hundreds of voices burst forth in praise and Thanksgiving to God the melody in volume and sweetness indeed surpassed all understanding.

KELLY MILLER DR. KELLY MILLER (Continued From First Page) Church. Music was rendered by the choir of the Fifth Street Baptist Church, Grand Chancellor John Mitchell, Jr., then introduced Dr. Miller as a unique character, who in observing present day conditions was the veritable "watchman upon the wall." The distinguished guest was evidently greatly pleased with the reception accorded him and the large audience presented to hear all that he wished to say. He proceeded to analyze and discuss existing conditions and the problems, which had come to the nation and the Negro as the result of the World War. He announced that he was not an advocate of peace, for the reas on that every great reform and every great advance made to better the conditions of the Negroes in this country had come as the result of one of these great upheavals WAR A PURIFIER He declared that, slavery had been abolished as a result of the Civil War and that the opening up to the Negroes of the great industrial plants of the North had come as a result of this World War. He preached the doctrine of racial equality in all that it implies and he declared himself as opposed to too much deference in the dealings with the white race. He conceded that that race had accomplished much and had done much for us, but that in doing this the white race was protecting itself. He declared that the colored people had made more actual progress during the World War than they had during the preceding period of fifty years. He declared that statistics established the fact of this remarkable advancement. POLITICAL CONDITIONS He paid a tribute to Grand Chancellor John Mitchell, Jr., in having made the race for the governorship of Virginia. For an hour and about twenty minutes, he dealt with present day conditions. He concludes amidst applause, Madame S. E. Briggs sang with charming sweetness a solo, after which Grand Chancellor Mitchell spoke briefly concerning the work of the rOller. He commented upon the fact that colored people of Richmond were speaking well of each other and of each others organization and of their banking institutions. He declared that the white people did not attack colored institutions, it was the colored people themselves. He spoke of the kindly relation ship now existing in Richmond between the white and the colored people. He declared that Mayor George Ainslie was was one of their best friends. He also stated that the Police Department under Chief Sherry had eliminated much of the complaint concerning the brutal treatment of colored people by police officers.

Three colored bellboys employed in hotels at Okmulgue, Okla., were beaten by a band of unmasked men on the night of March 4. The men told them it was their purpose to "rid hotels of porters who solicit guests in behalf of women who sell whisky." Philip Rothblum, a picture framer was seized at his home in Dallas Tex as on the night of March 6 by a band of unmasked men, taken to an isolated point outside of Dallas, severely flogged and warned "to leave town."

Aldrege and by District Judge Robert B. Seay of Dallas. DO YOU KNOW HER? Attorney M. L. Spottswood desires to know the whereabouts of his client, Sadie Pollard.

SETTLEMENT OF CONTROVERSY ABOUT THE HIGH STREET BAPTIST CHURCH. The council called by the High Street Baptist Church, met at three o'clock, March 14, 1922, after due organization, having received the credentials of the delegates, and elected as Moderator, Judge W. W. Moffett, and Rev. Dr. W. W. Nelson as clerk. Hard statements and evidence from the High Street Baptist Church and from members of the Silver Leaf Club. Having passed into executive session after due deliberation, your Council unanimously recommends: 1. That the High Street Baptist Church acted within the bounds of its authority in excluding members, but could have been more long suffering. 2. That the aggrieved members acted hastily, and not in the spirit of Christ. 3. That the so-called Exparte Council was prematurely, and improperly called, and so its findings were invalid. 4. That the High Street Church upon the request of any, or all these aggrieved members, give them a hearing. 5. That the so-called Exparte Council acted unwisely, in giving out through the public press statements reflecting on the High Street Baptist Church. 6. That the Baptist Churches of Riobanoke do all within their power to work in loving co-operation and be careful to respect each others rights in all things which tend to advance the cause of Christ.

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.
