The National Association of Colored Women, Richmond, Va. Aug. 6-11th, '22 THE RICHMOND PLANET MECHANICS BANK READY TO REOPEN AWAITING AUDITOR'S REPORT--UNFORESEEN DELAY EMBARRASSES--DEPOSITORS ANXIOUS TO HELP INSTITUTION. Baptist Ministers Active--White and Colored Folks Rallying. --- VOLUME XXXIX, NO. 38 MECI AWAITING RASS The only cause of the delay in the reopening of the Mechanics Savings Bank is the delay in receiving the report of the audit company, which the receivers temporarily acting employed to audit the accounts of the Mechanics Savings Bank from the time of their last audit. They are now completing this work and the report will be ready for filing certainly by the first of next week, when by mutual agreement the bank will be returned to its previous management. In the meantime, the colored leaders have been active and the white people have been anxiously helpful. Members of both races speak well of the Mechanics Savings Bank and all anxiety as to its future has disappeared. CLAMORING FOR PAPERS The mass-meeting at the City Auditorium is now admitted to have done "a world of good". In informing the public relative to the actual situation of affairs. In the meantime the Planet has been issuing daily extras, which have been readily purchased by both white and colored people. The stew-moving cylinder press was not able to meet the demand made upon it and supply the large number of news-boys clamoring for the issue to satisfy the people. The depositors of the institution have philanthropically showed but little concern about the outcome, feeling satisfied that their depositors were amply protected by the bank's assets. THE DECREE The following extract from Judge William A. Moncree's order will explain itself and give an accurate insight into the general situation: "And it being represented to the Court that the closing of said bank by the plaintiff was because of the presence in its assets of obligations of the Bonded Realty Company Inc., amounting to the sum of $83,500.00, which are not secured to the satisfaction of the plaintiff and it being further represented to the Court that there is a reasonable prospect of the defendant being able, within a short time, of satisfying the plaintiff as to said obligations of the Bonded Realty Company, Inc., and as to the entire solvency of said bank, it is further ordered that said receivers be authorized and instructed to report to the Court, at the earliest possible date, together with a statement of the assets and liabilities as said bank, such offers and plans as may be submitted to them by the offenders, or others on its behalf, with a view of satisfying the requirements of the plaintiff and effecting a prompt discharge of said receivers, and the return of the assets of said Mechanics Savings Bank of Richmond, Va., to its proper authorities." BAPTIST PREACHERS UNANIMOUS The Baptist Ministers' Conference of Richmond and vicinity met Tuesday, July 25, 1922 on call of its President, Rev. Evans Payne, D. D., pastor of the Fourth Baptist Church to take action relative to the matter. The meeting was called to order shortly before 12 o'clock.

He gave his reasons for his belief. At the conclusion of his remarks, Rev. Z. D. Lewis, D. D., moved that a committee of five he appointed to draft resolutions concerning the matter. This was seconded by Rev. T. J. King, D. D., pastor of the Fifth St. Baptist Church, and the following committee was appointed by the chair: Rev. Dr. Z. D. Lewis, Rev. C. A. Cobbs, Rev. I. H. Hines, Rev. W. B. Ball, Rev. T. J. King. COMMITTEE REPORTED.

C. Dear Sir: I was much interested in what you had to say in opening your campaign for Senator in the State of Michigan, regarding human rights as compared with property rights. I have read every report of your opening speech of last Saturday. That you have given much study to many of our problems, chiefly those affecting taxation, is plainly apparent, you also treat on what you call "Newberryism," and concerning it say, "The people of Michigan mean to set the State right in the eyes of America," etc. You also demand the enforcement of prohibition acts; you suggest an amendment of the Esch-Cummins Transportation Act; you referred to our navy, to Federal taxes, to transportation problems, and, in fact, to almost everything else mentioned in the Republican national platform, except some legislation such as the Dyer bill affords, to set the nation right in the eyes of the world, as well as to set "Michigan right in the eyes of America." Did you purposely omit to tell the people what you were doing in Congress to stop the great national mob law evil, or was it an oversight? Since I wrote you my last letter several lynchings have been reported from various parts of the country, the stories of lynchings are mentioned in the press almost daily, and I must assume that by this time you have read the wonderful brief in support of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill prepared by the Hon. Morefield Story, formerly president of the American Bar Association, and that you, like myself, are now convinced that the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill is constitutional. I confess that I was a little in doubt myself as to the authority of Congress to pass the desired legislation, but that doubt has been completely dispelled after reading Mr. Story's great brief. This brief was filed with the Senate committee after the Dyer bill had passed the House; it was published serially in the Richmond Planet, of Richmond, Va. I presume the Senate committee had it printed, but if you have not already received a copy, nor have read the brief, and it is not accessible, I shall be glad to procure you a copy of the same. You may think that the only people in Michigan interested in abolishing mob law are of Negro persuasion, but I assure you that if that is true you are entirely wrong in your conclusions, for there are many thousands of white voters in this State who abhor the practice of mob rule in America, which we, ourselves, so recently escaped an example at Jackson, but it strikes me that human rights come first unless you have a true interest in every citizen in his constitutional rights, I for one shall be actively opposed to your election to the most august representative body in the world, the United States Senate. KILLED BY LIGHTNING. (Preston News Service.) Chester, S. C., July 27.—During the heavy rain and electrical storm at Van Wyk last Monday, William Crawford was killed by lightning.

He received the full force of the bolt with fatal results. The others were shocked. A brother of William Crawford was shocked unconscious and remained so for several hours, but is reported recovering from the stroke. The depot was set fire, but the flames were soon extinguished. --- CLAIMS KLAN ORDERED AD CONTRACT CANCELLED. St. Louis, Mo., July 27.—According to reports, Robert I. Young, of St. Joseph, Mo., candidate for nomination for United States Senator on the Democratic ticket, says: "I received a notice from the Klu Klux Klan to remove a campaign advertisement which I had contracted for insertion in the Jewish Record, a local Hebrew language newspaper. The reason given in the Klan letter was 'because the Jew is after the almighty dollar and to hell with the country.' It is said that officials of the paper announced that suit will be filed against Young to collect the sum of money due the paper under the contract. FIREMAN HURT IN WRECK (Preston News Service.)

When the bank reopens do not draw your money out, as this will hurt the bank more than anything else. Instead of lining up to draw your money out, line up to make new deposits and increase those you have there. Do not talk about the bank except Do not talk about the bank except it to say a good word for it. The Mechanies Bank is all right, it will not fail. It must not fail. PLEADS FOR HER SON.

Portsmouth, Va., July 24, 1922. Mr. John Mitchell, Jr. President, Mechanics Savings Bank, Richmond, Va. My dear friend and brother: I heard little more than a week ago on my return from Ohio, that the doors of the Mechanics Savings Bank had been closed, you can't imagine how much it grieved me.

I rested in the faith that I had in you and your many friends, white and colored, in and about Richmond, I am at your command for everything in my power. Sincerely yours, M. E.

Mechanics Savings Bank Building, N. W. Corner Third and Clay Streets, Richmond Virginia D. P. BRAGG, Secretary J. M. G. RAMSEY, Treasurer --- MECHANICS BANK (Continued from First Page.) the Moore Street Baptist Church. The following are the resolutions: We, your committee appointed at a special meeting of the Baptist Ministers' Conference of Richmond and vicinity held on call of our President, Rev Dr. Evans Payne, Tuesday, July 25, 1922, at the Ebenezer Baptist Church to take some action in the matter of the closing temporarily of the Mechanics Savings Bank by the Banking Division of the State Corporation Commission, beg leave to report that we find that in all of our churches, Sunday, July 16, 1922, the pastors discussed the matter and expressed absolute confidence in the president of the Mechanics Savings Bank and its officers and urged their hearers to suspend judgment, assuring them that the bank had ample assets to meet all of its obligations and to pay all of its depositors in full. We find that this had a most quieting effect, and that as a result, on the following Monday, no excitement was in evidence at the institution, and the squad of police officers, who had been stationed in the neighborhood, found that they had absolutely nothing to do and were withdrawn. Your committee found also that the white press, the Richmond, Va., Times-Dispatch, the Richmond Evening Dispatch, the Richmond News Leader, spoke in favor of the bank and gave out information that did a "world of good" in restoring the confidence of our people. Coupled with this was the friendly attitude of the white people generally in their homes, where they employed servants, and in their mills and factories and places of business, which aided in this work. The crowning act came, when Colonel Thomas B. McAdams, president of the American Bankers' Association, of which our townman, the president of the Mechanics Savings Bank, is the only active colored member, upon an appeal made to him, directed that Colonel W. M. Addison, president of the Clearing House Association of Richmond, be requested to call a meeting of that association and, if the bank was solvent, to loan it the amount necessary to relieve the situation. This was done and one hundred thousand ($100,000.00) dollars were pledged to relieve the situation. We are glad to report that hundreds of colored people are waiting impatiently for the opening day to put money into the Mechanics Savinge Bank, instead of drawing it out. We report also that the colored business institutions, societies and fraternal bodies have expressed their confidence in the Mechanics Savings Bank and other banks, located in this city, and that there is no evidence of any "run" on any of them as a result of this unfortunate occurrence. We therefore recommend that it is the sense of this conference that a vote of thanks be extended to the white people in general for their aid and comfort and to Colonel Thomas B. McAdams, president of the American Bankers' Association; Colonel W. M. Addison, president of the Clearing House Association of Richmond; the affiliated banks thereof, the special committee appointed by the association, and being advised that Hon. Oliver J. Sands, president of the American National Bank, has done much for the Mechanics Savings Bank and its thousands of depositors, we include him and his institution, the daily press, the colored press, business organizations of our people, insurance companies and fraternal orders and other bodies and individuals, who have aided in this work of the rejuvenation of the bank. Learning that the completion of the audit will bring about the reopening of the bank, we urge that this be done at the earliest possible moment, and to this end we ask the Banking Division of the State Corporation Commission and the State Corporation Commission to hasten this much to be desired result. We heartily endorse the proposals of the restoration of the management and control of the Meto make a rally day one of the beachnics Savings Bank to our people, when each individual will open an account with the institution and show to the world that we have an abiding confidence in the encouragement of thrift amongst the colored people generally.

THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND. VIRGINIA DR. KELLY MILLER AND THE MESSENGER I notice that the Messenger is very much excited over my alleged attitude on mixed schools or separate schools in the North. The last issue of this interesting magazine contained as its feature article "KELLY MILLER'S MISTAKE." It is announced that the discussion will be continued in the next issue. The infallible editors of the Messenger are famous for seizing upon the mistakes made by others. Their own mistakes, if they have any, so far have not been so widely exploited. I was surprised to note that the co-editor was wanting in his usual scholarly research and accuracy. He derived his information through the refracting medium of a Chicago weekly instead of from the original source, which was easily available to him. Last October I contributed to the Educational Review an article on "The Education of the Negro in the North," which, it seems, has just come to the belated attention of the Messenger by a devious and round-about route. In this article I did not advocate separate schools, but merely raised the question of the relative inspirational appeal of the two modes of tuition. I have given long study and wide observation to this question, and am still devoting careful thought to it. But I have never at any time or place, by utterance or inference, expressed belief in the principle of separate schools, in the North or in the South. Neither Christianity nor democracy can contemplate the separation. The school is much more ethical than the church and much more democratic than the State. When our oldest university suggests discrimination against students on account of race, a hue and cry is raised from all over the nation. But both church and State make race distinctions with impunity. The school is the one place which should be kept free from all forms of prejudice. It is useless for the learned editor of the Messenger to display his erudition in two labored essays to convict me of a sentiment which I never held. I do not believe in separate schools, separate churches or separate cars. I may be forced to receive them, but I never willingly accept them. I always protest in thought even when from prudence I acquiesce in action. But as I have studied Negro education in the South and in the North, and have watched the workings of the two types of effect upon the Negro child inevitably forced itself upon my attention. I might stop here to say, in passing, that so far as the Negro is concerned, public schools in the proper sense of the public school do not exist anywhere in the United States. The so-called mixed schools are white schools which the Negro pupil is permitted to attend as a tolerated recipient, but the Negro is not a co-equal factor, or even a proportional factor, in contributing to or deriving from the system the desired influence and power. In a great city like Pittsburgh, where the managers and teachers are all white, and more or less actuated with the hauteur of racial attitude, the Negro pupil cannot feel that he is receiving the full force and inspiration of public instruction with free and untraumelled spirit. Even in places where colored teachers are employed they are almost always young women in the lower grades who impress no directive influence and are confined to the narrow lines of specified instruction. The whole race was delighted to see Miss Maria Boldwin, of Cambridge, function efficiently and influentially as an eighth grade principal in this famous college town. But she represents both a salutary and solitary exception which the most sanguine scarcely hopes to see duplicated in his day. The Negro pupil in the North has not in the past and is not now deriving from the public schools the full benefit which they should impart. There are one and a half million Negroes in the North whose children are in touch with the best school facilities and advantages which our civilization affords. Who is bold enough to say that they impart to the Negro child all that can be desired? Let us throw into comparison the schools of Washington under Negro supervision and those of Northern cities where the Negro has no directive say. Washington is surpassed in Negro population by New York and Philadelphia, and equalled by that of Chicago. And yet the national capital has more Negro pupils on the secondary level of instruction than these three cities combined. The inspiration effect of a system can be fairly gauged by the number of pupils stimulated to pursue higher courses of study. I venture the statement that Washington schools have sent more colored students to Harvard than Boston, more to Columbia than New York city, more to the University of Pennsylvania than Philadelphia, and more to the University of Chicago than Chicago. There are three colored female doctors of philosophy, all of whom are products of the Washington public schools. When we consider that a large number of the high school graduates each year enter the Normal School to prepare for teaching, while scores of them enter Howard University, the significance of the system begins to dawn upon us. The Washington colored schools have been the greatest intellectual stimulus in the life of the race so far as public instruction is concerned. What I have said of Washington is true in a degree of Baltimore, St. Louis, Louisville, Kansas City, and other cities where colored South are being brought under the inspiration of Negro tuition. I do not know of a single city where white instruction of Negro youth is producing like stimulative effect. Separate schools have their disadvantages, which can be easily pointed out. But does not the Negro contingent in so-called public schools also labor under serious handicap? In the article in question, I merely called attention to relativity of advantages and disadvantages which no educator can fail to notice. He that BUY YOUR COAL FROM THE CRUMP AND WEST COAL CO.

MR, J. S. REDMOND ON MARCUS GARVEY AND U. N. I. A. Bluefield, W. Va., July 12, 1922. The Richmond Planet, Richmond, Va. Dear Editor: I have read and re-read your editorial to the Hon. Marcus Garvey (8th). Mr. Garvey's idea of a strong government in Africa, and also making Africa safe for the Africans, is great. But I am afraid he fell down upon his great idea when he said, "We can Jim Crow the white man just as he Jim Crows us over here." But Mr. Garvey has forgotten that the building of a strong government in Africa and making Africa safe for the Africans can only be successfully achieved by going at it with a spirit of necessity and brotherly love, instead of a spirit of anger and retaliation. Mr. Garvey is a great man, but when he says that he is and asserts or says that we should be pleased with our condition in the South, since this is the white man's country, etc., I am afraid that he is blindly spreading a VILE propaganda, and that some of our leaders should call him to one side and tell him of the monument to be erected in Washington city to the honor of the Negro who ca me with Columbus on his first voyage to this country, and also tell him of Crispus Attuck, and then a general history of the American Nespreading this vile propaganda, we gro; then should he elect to continue should see that he enters our gates a stranger and leave our gates a stranger. Living in a land of free speech, I believe Dr. W. E. B. Dubois has a right to assert that Mr. Garvey's plans are feasible, and to, you have asserted in an article near your editorial, that every one has a right to their opinion. But you snatched this right from us when you said: "The Negroes who have lost their identity as Negroes * * * should let Garvey alone and cease abusing him." The color of a few of our leaders' skin is not a matter of choice, and may God bless all of us when the time comes that we must follow our leaders just because they are black. Sincerely yours, J. S.

THE PLANET, 311 N. Fourth Street Long Distance Telephone, Randolph 2213. Richmond, Va. EDITOR GEORGE W. HARRIS ON KLUX ISSUE MARCUS GARVEY UNMERCIFULLY FLAYS SIX ARTICLE IN NEW YORK WORLD BY EDITOR AROUSES IRE OF PRESIDENT GARVEY NEW YORK, July 20.—Before an audience of over six thousand persons, filling Liberty Hall to its fullest capacity, Sunday night, Hon. Marcus Garvey, President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, appearing in unusual physical form and fit for the occasion, though just having returned from an extended trip throughout the United States unmercifully excoriated his would-be critics and bombastic malligners of his acts as official head of the organization he represents. He read an article clipped from the New York Sunday World (white) written by one George W. Harris (colored) a Harvard graduate, Editor and Alderman for the 21st Assembly District of New York City, wherein he accused Mr. Garvey of forming an alliance with the Ku Klux Klan to the detriment of the American Negro, etc., further that Mr. Garvey did not know Negro history, he being an "tailon." With much emphasis and feeling, Mr. Garvey told the vast assemblage that not only had he been misquoted by this would-be politician and editor, but that the action of Harris showed that he desired only to delve into personalities and indulge in petty spite, and that he did not understand public issues and measures of grave concern. Among the many statements made by Mr. Garvey, which puckered those made by Editor Harris for notoriety were the following: That a large number of Negro editors throughout the country and especially those who live in the North, did not know the condition and the attitude of the Ku Klux Klan towards the millions of Negroes who live in the Southern States. That these wise-acres and so-called Race patriots remain thousands of miles away and write all kinds of stuff against the South, against the Ku Klux Klan and against people with whom they do not come in contact, and leave the people who really come in contact with them to suffer from the result of their senseless and hypocritical propaganda. That some Negro men who write and talk up North will make noise as far as Washington, D. C., but when they change cars to go further South they remain as dumb as an oyster. That in a majority of the cases they get the unthinking people to swallow their yellow stuff without having one ounce of sincerity behind Read The Richmond Planet --- what they write or what they say. Mr. Garvey says that he actually did go South, and did interview the acting Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan in order to get first-hand information as to their attitude toward the millions of Negroes who reside in the South and are daily coming in contact with them, and that this is something Harris himself has not dared to do, though he is now yelping and barking at someone else for doing that which he has not the nerve to do. Further, Mr. Garvey says that Harris is one of a group of Negroes who have been trying to discredit him and the organization for the past four years, and that up to now they have fallen in all of their attempts; and that were it not for the Universal Negro Improvement Association in the Harlem District of New York City, where Mr. Harris is domiciled and doing business that he would not $b_0$ safe from the menace and abuse of the Ku Klux Klan. Further calling attention to the statements of Harris, that he was an "allon" and therefore not qualified to enunciate the great principles of Race rights and liberty, or the ideals of a free and independent Race, Mr. Garvoy says that you might as well say that because Jesus who was a Nazarene, the outside world should not accept His doctrine and Christianity because He was an "allen." That because Martin Luther was born in Germany, the world should not accept the doctrine of Protestantism; that because Alexander Hamilton and Lafayette were born in other parts of the world, America should not accept the benefits bestowed on the Nation; that because Shakespeare was an Englishman, we should not read "Hamlet" or "Julius Caesar;" that because Milton was not born in America we should not read his "Paradise Lost;" that because Marcoal is an Italian, we of the western world should not make use of the wireless telegraphy; and that the attack of Harris on him that he was an "alien," and born in Jamaica, B, W. I, debarred him from leadership of the great Movement that he now represents was so simple that it seemed ridiculous to waste much time and space on him. Mr. Garvey also said that Harris had a wrong conception of history and a very poor understanding of the Race question. Read The Planet and keep informed as to what our Race is doing in world and domestic affairs THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA MAN WHO KILLED TWO DRY OFFICERS STILL AT LARGE (Richmond Times-Dispatch) Norfolk, Va., July 24. "Get Jim Chambers, dead or alive." That is the order given nearly a hundred Federal, city and county officers, who are today making wholesale raids in Titustown, colored settlement near the army supply base where two Federal prohibition officers were killed Saturday night. Chambers, tonight was charged by a coroner's jury of Norfolk, with the murder of Prohibition Agents Carey D. Freeman and H. H. Fisher on Saturday night. Chambers' wife, Annie Chambers and Henry Brodin colored, both under arrest, were held by the jury as accomplices. The inquest was conducted in the office of Magistrate Ames, on Jamestown Boulevard. SEARCH CONTINUES THROUGH THE NIGHT. . Search for Chambers continued by posses of Federal, county and city officers through the night, though it is bolloved Chambers is still in this section. . Norfolk police late today, sent broadcast pictures and description of Chambers. He is six foot, one inch tall, weighs 200 pounds, has bright skin and on chin and on side of face. When last seen he was wearing light khaki pants, striped shirt and tan shoes. He is a native of Dillon, S. C. and has lived in Marion, S. C, and Maxton, Condor and Pedeo, N. C. Prohibition Director R. A. Fulwiler arrived in Norfolk at noon-to-day to take personal charge of the search for the slayer of Fisher and Freeman. He had a conference with Collector of Customs Crupper and proceeded to Titustown. SEARCH SETTLEMENT At 12:30 today, the posse of officers got a tip that Chambers was in a farmhouse near Titustown. The whole outfit rushed to the scene but no trace of Chambers was found. Two hundred houses at Titustown were searched this morning and the remainder of the settlement was combed this afternoon. As Chambers is armed and has a Plentiful supply of ammunition, the officers are taking no chances and are prepared to shoot to kill. Chambers, rum-running killer, spent last night in Titustown almost within reach of county officers, who were supposed to be searching for him, it developed this afternoon. He was at the home of Talloy Haron, colored, at Pratt and Division streets it developed today when half a hundred city police and Federal officers raided the settlement. Hardon was arrested, charged with harboring a fugitive and was sent to Norfolk city jail. Apparently dissatisfied with the activity of county officers, Federal agents today requested, further assistance from the city, and a detail of fifty policemen and detectives, with twenty Federal agents, proceeded to Tituwown. Colonel Harris Hoge, of Roanoke, legal advisor of the prohibition director of Virginia, took charge of the situation from the 'government angle. Lieutenant White, of the detective bureau, commanded, the Norfolk police Twenty county officers were brought into the chase by order of Sheriff A. A. Wendell, who also took personal charge. Reports that county officers who were supposed to look after conditions in Titustown had failed to suppress liquor selling and other violations of the law in that vicinity led to the action of the Federal authorities, it was stated. Armed with riot guns and pistols, the three forces proceeded with a house-to-house search of the territory in Titustown, south of the railroad, before noon. Every inhabitant was questioned and every house combed for trace of the fugitive. It soon developed that Chambers had been in the Harden house, and the latter was promptly arrested.

Paris, July 17.—Last Sunday local photographers from all parts of this city gathered at the Lyons Station to take pictures of the 27 African Chioftains and their wives, who arrived here to visit Paris as well as give Frenchmen an opportunity to see rulers of the possessions. The visitors were attired in their native costumes of multi-colored silk. Many of the men carried immense spears and all of them wore swords. Several of them had been decorated with the insignia of officers or knights of the Legion of Honor for distinguished services on behalf of France during the World War. These rulers, sovereigns of the various French colonies or protectorates in the Sudan, Senegal, Dehamey, Nauretania and Guinea, seemed to attract admirable attention from all Paris. Chifo Naba and Chifo Abdoukane were favorites. These men had done remarkable able service to France and Frenchmen are showing their gratitude to them in every way possible.

Springfield, Ill., July 27.—For the past six weeks, organizers have been moving silently, swiftly and secret, perfecting an Anti-Ku Klux Klan organization here.

In full, filling the requirements for an advanced degree at Catholic University Professor George Norton Lightfoot exemplifies the modern tendency of College professors to receive academic recognition of their professional growth. He has satisfied the requirements of the Catholic University of America for the Mastor's Degree in Classical Philology. As a part of the work necessary he presented a 48-page thesis on "The question of the Origin of the Rom an Satire," in which discussion Prof. Lightfoot makes a survey of the lengthy and ingenious debate which has been going on almost without ceasing for the last fifty years. Prof. Lightfoot concludes that "the Romans were the first to produce and develop the satire as a separate and distinct type of literary expression. He is professor of Latin and Literature at Howard University and for past two years has edited the Howard University Record. THE Y. M. C. A. NOTES. The Y. M. C.
