VOLUME XXXIX, NO. 42 JOHN TRA A Peculiar of Rober tim Was John M. Beard, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Beard, was killed in an automobile accident, friday night. August 18th on Brook Road between a service garage and the concrete bridge recently erected at about fifteen minutes to eleven o'clock. Conflicting reports were circulated concerning the accident. Editor John Mitchell, Jr., visited the scene of the tragedy twice. The five passenger Cadillac car was coming south and at this point there is a slight turn in the road. The track of the car shows that the chaiffeur did not take this curve, but, kept straight ahead, the wheels of the car on the right traversing the ditch two following the curve of the same with the large cedar trees, which fringed the drive-way side-swiping the car and carrying death and destruction with it. THE TWO CHAUFFEURS John M. Benard was chauffeur for Dr. W. B. Hopkins who offices are at the southwest corner of Fifth and Franklin streets. Robert Harris is chauffeur for the Bosher family, who now reside at the north-west corner of Fifth and Franklin streets, but who are preparing to move to 2030 Monument Avenue. At the latter place Robert Harris, the "star" witness to the tragedy was found. He said, "John and I got into the car at First and Leigh streets, we met Wellford Owens John and I went to Market Inn, I. Washington Park. Wellford Owens was with Arnita Knight, Helen Armstead and Lucille Mosby. Those toug got into the car. TOO MANY BRIGHT LIGHTS On the front seat were John Beare, Arnita Knight and Wellford Owen. On the rear seat were Helen Armsteed myself and Lucille Mosby. We went out to Market Inn, but did not get out. It was proposed to go to Lucille Mosby's grand-father's house in Garden City. We did not get out. As we came South on Brook Road, just after leaving the concrete bridge, there is a slight curve in the road. A car came along with six lights burning. It had two car lights, two main lights and two road lights. This blinded John Beard, who was driving and he went in the ditch. The car did not turn BADLY INJURED I found that John was hurt and I took his place. I saw another car and the driver asked about the trouble and I told him. I drove to Dr. Early's office. He took one of the women inside and after examining her adviser that all be taken to the hospital once. I drove to the hospital on Marshall street and lifted John out. I rang the bell first. When he was put on the table, it was found that he was dead. John's head was badly cut. Helen Arnimstead was cut in the head, Wellford Owens was cut on the eye and nose. Arnita Knight was cut on the head and her wrist-bone broken. I live at 509 W. Marshall street. I did not drive the car out there and did not drive it on its return until after the accident, when I brought the party in. THE CAR. An examination of the Cadillac car showed that the right side was crushed in and that the top was completely demolished. Some one had been thrown against the windshelf on the right and broken a hole in the glass about seven inches in diameter. Blood was on the middle of the front seat. There was no blood on the left hand side near the steering-wheel. The upper windshelf glass had been torn away completely. Whether John Beard's head was split open by the wind-shelf and his eye gouged out by the car top or by the over-hanging limb of one of the trees is the question. Robert Harris had been much annoyed by the statement of some that he was driving the car at the time of the tragedy. He strenuously denied this. SHIFTED SEATS. No matter who was driving the car, it was an accident pure and simple. The only apparent damage to the car is on the right side and the car ploughed in the ditch until as Harris subspecifically stated, the engine stalled. He then got out and shifted seat with the fatally wounded chauffeur and brought the car under its own power to the St. Phillips Hospital. He was arrested by the Henrico County authorities, but was bailed. The car went 127 feet before it stopped and the large cedar trees and red clay embankment side-swiped the car and injured the occupants. As John Beard was on the left side front seat of the car and the injury was all on the right; nand side, how did he meet his death in such a tragic manner? SETTING NEW RECORDS (Preston News Service) Chicago, Ill., Aug. 25.—Establishing a new record in the Negro National Base Ball League, as well as setting a new record for the number of innings played. Rube Foster's league leading American Giants and the Bacharach Giants of New York associate members of the league traveled twenty long innings last Wednesday after noon before a score was made. In this inning, a single by Malcherate after Torrenette had walked scored the run that won the game. Starting at 3:30, the shades of twilight were descending over Schorling park are the game was finished. An up and down the length and breadth of State street, the game, the longest to have been played by any two clubs this season, was spoken of. Fans recalled the sparkling double plays and brilliant fielding feats which marked the game. A feature of the game was the fact that Treadwell went the full route for the Bacharachs, while Rile and Dave Brown, who had won Tuesday's game worked for the Giants. Score: Bacharachs 0 runs; 10 bits; 2 errors. Ameri can Giants: 0 runs; 9 bits; 2 error. HORSE RACING A FEATURE AT LEXINGTON FAIR. ( Preston News Service ) Lexington, Ky., Aug. 24.—The feature of the Lexington Colored Fair's race meeting, the Colored Fair Derby in its fourth annual renewal last Friday went to Black Watch, Ill., owned by J. M. Hubbard. Black Watch II, with Hughes in the saddle was admirably ridden. Opening up a lead of several lengths on the back stretch, Hughes always kept his mount that distance in front of the field. Arravan, which finished second, was far back in the early stages of the race, but on the second turn went around the field and made a heroic effort to catch the son of Mac Donald—black Venus. My Ballot saved the show. The winner paid $38.20 for a $2.00 pasteboard. RESOLUTIONS.

WOMEN GIVE MAN A SOUND THRASHING --- Pensacola, Fla., Aug. 25.—There has been an old say that the sanctity and purity of any race is in the hands of woman. The morals and those things are set and standardized by the women. As an indication that Negro women have taken the cudgel in their hands is being evidenced nearly every day in different parts of the country. There is a general opinion among a large number of women that some men just can't be in their presence a single minute without getting fresh. Alexander Lloyd, aged 45 years, has always considered himself a favorite with the ladies. Last Monday evening he told some other men that he was going over where that bunch of sweet locking strange ladies were and make a hit with them. Lloyd hadn't been with them more than five minutes until his friends could see what a hit he was making. The women evidently engaged at some thing he had said pounced upon him and administered such a sound thrashing that Lloyd had to be attended by physicians at the county jail after he had been lodged their on serious charges. CHRISTIAN SNATCHED MASK OFF CLANSMAN SWINS IN COURT. (Preston News Service) Austin, Texas, Aug. 26.—The truir Edgar Shelton, charged with disturbing religious worship in an attempt to unmusk a Ku Klux Klansman, who four other klansmen; visited a South Austin Baptist revival meeting on the night of July 19th for the purpose of presenting a cash donation to the pastor resulted in a verdict of Not Guilty by a jury in the Travis County court. The jury was out less than one half hour. Shelton is said to be a graduate of the University of Texas and was recently appointed an assistant instructor in the University of Illinois. Shelton was a member of the church choir. member of the church choir. Witnesses (testified that the two klansmen; masked and robed; entered the tent in which the revival was being held, just before the close of the service on Sunday night, July 19th. When they approached the pulpit, Shelton it was testified, attempted to pull the mask from the face of one of the klansmen. The klansman, it was testified, struck Shelton a blow, knocking him down. There was a general exodus of the congregation of 400 people. Before any serious injuries could be inflicted two deputy sheriffs appeared on the scene and took Shelton into custody. --- MINISTERS FIGHT. (Preston News Service) (Preston News Service). Little Rock, Ark., 25—Very often pleasant discussions turn out for them mutual benefit of the participants and hearers in knowledge gained, but occasionally they have the reverse effect. At a meeting of the Young Ministers' Alliance here last Tuesday night a dispute arose over ecclesiastical cat ethics, beginning as a mere abstruse question and finding its climax in an instinctively personal exchange of opinions as well as physical efforts. The argument, it is said, arose over the ethics and propriety of the recent action of the organization in expelling one of its members. According to the police Revs. L. Malory and J. L. Mack, got the worst of the argument. Both sustained several cuts about their faces and arms. Rev. Mack had to be removed to the Bush Memorial hospital where stitches were taken to close the wounds. Rev. Mr. Abe Guidon, who is alleged to have inflicted the wounds upon the two ministers, is said to have fled to parts unknown. The police are searching for him. THE RECEIVERS MAKE REPORT Court Receives Lengthy Document After Much Delay--Counsel Now Examining Legal Paper. Efforts to Reopen Bank are Now Under Way. The receivers did not make their report to the Chancery Court last Tuesday as was expected, but submitted a voluminous one on last Wednesday. It criticised many irregularities in the institution, and made no recommendations as to the re-opening of the Bank. The following communication sent to the Richmond, Va. News-Leader explains itself: I have read the extracts from the receivers report relative to the Mechanics Savings Bank. The question in which the depositors and the public are primarily interested is not whether the employees of the institution and its officers are chargeable with irregularities and peculiations, but whether the assets of the Bank, together with the guarantees of the directors and the liability of the bonding company, which stood sponsor for its officers, are sufficient to guarantee the depositors against loss and permit the Mechanics Savings Bank to reopen under proper management. WILL ANSWER IN THE AFFIRMATIVE I am confident that this question can be answered in the affirmative. It is also a question as to whether it is better to reopen the Bank under improved conditions, than to close it with a receivership with legitimate expense, approximating $20,000.00, outside of clerical expense, all of which must be paid out of the proceeds of the depositors and at a damage to the saving habit of a multitude of colored people, amounting to many millions of dollars? There are assets of the Mechanies Savings Bank, which this report does not attempt to disclose. The Board of Directors and the surrender of assets by the President, together with the liability of the bonding company will exceed $200,000. Then why not reopen the Bank for business? A MAGNANIMOUS ATTITUDE The magnanimous attitude of the white people of this community, the liberality of the leaders of the financial district of this city should prevent a blow to Negro financial prestige in this community, which would react and affect the colored people for the next decade to come. The report of the two attorneys, named as receivers is expected in ten days time to destroy the work of twenty years. There are some things that this receivers' report fails to state. It fails to state that the account of John Mitchell, Jr. and the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias and the Grand Court, Order of Calanthe are one and the same, that the overdraft in the account of John Mitchell, Jr. was due to checks drawn to pay death claims and liabilities of both organizations DEPOSIT REFUSED It fails to state that the apparent overdraft of $1,800 was secured by a deposit sent to the Mechanics Savings Bank by messenger to take care of the same, after the President heard for the first time that there was an overdraft and that this deposit it was refused at the bank and the messenger returned the same to him. The total amount of the pass-book shortage as shown by the extracts from the report is $17,000. As a matter of fact, a blank mortgage has been drawn in favor of the Bank for $100,000, with 6 per cent interest payable in one year. This is $16,-500.00 more than the requirement of the Banking Division. Coupled with the liability bond of approximately $25,000 makes a total of $41,500 or $24,500 more, than the amount required A QUESTION OF ASSETS Our banking bank is carried at $34,760, under a ruling of the Bank- ing Division, the banking house can not be carried at a greater valuation than the amount of the capital of the bank, although the bank was chartered before the establishment of the Banking Division and at the time of chartering was not subject to any such provision. Insurance adjusters and architects are of the opinion that to erect such a structure today would exceed in cost $100,000. To close the bank with receivers in charge would materially reduce the assets. To open the Bank under the supervision of the Banking Division would save the depositors against loss and increase the assets. No money can be obtained by the former method except in a decreasing ratio and much money can be obtained by the latter process in an increasing ratio. PRAYING FOR A CONTINUATION. When the President of the institution and the Directors came to the aid of the institution and the leading white citizens of this community wish us well, while all of the colored financial institutions, irrespective of their previous disagreements, together with the powerful clergy unite in praying for the continuation of the Mechanics Savings Bank as a citadel of Negro finance, and the white people of the North are looking askance at this venture and the colored ones of the same section are wondering, it seems to us that the affirmative vote of the white financiers of Richmond should be heeded. In conclusion, I proposed to the receivers that the present expert accountants continue their labor with the bank open under the supervision of the Banking Division, after the necessary security had been furnished for this purpose. They declined this offer and I do not see it in the extracts from the report, although the order of the court required that such offers be submitted. There has never been any intimation of any criminal conduct on the part of any one in any previous report of accountants JOHN MITCHELL, JR. Richmond, Va., August 24, 1922. The situation is unchanged and the colored people are still showing the most commendable patience in this matter. R. H. BOYD DEAD Nashville, Tenn., Aug. 24—Dr. R. H.

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 to force 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. I was cured of a very bad case of Rheumatism by two bottles of L. J. Hayden's wonderful Herb Medicine, after suffering a long time with the dreadful disease. I was unable to move hand or foot, and after I had taken three doses of the medicine I was able to get out of my bed and walk across the floor, and only two bottles of the medicine has made me a perfectly well man in every respect. I cannot give Mr. L. J. Hayden too much praise for what he has done for me. I have sent many other suffering ones to him, and they have also gotten cured. My daughter was also cured of Rheumatism and Indigestion by L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicines at No. 220 W. Broad Street, Richmond, Va. I 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. 4 Auburn Ave., Richmond Va. 2419 E. Grace St., Richmond, Va. FIVE MADAM IDA B.

Richmond, CONGRESSMAN DYER SCORES NORTHERN NEGROES FOR APATHY OW ANITI-LYNCHING BILL sx. “Northern Negroes, feeling sate from lynchers, are not doing their wt- most in the fight to secure passage of tho antt-lynehing bill whicte will put an end to lynching in this country,” declared Congrossman L, ©. Dyer vu Missouri, father of tho anti-lynching Dill, according to a letter from Mr. Dyer to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, made public here today. “If all the Negroes of the North would throw themselves vigorously in to the fight, tho bill would bo passed and a death blow struck to the barbar- fam of mobs. I think it would be well for you to issue a special appeal to the colored people In all the States where thoy have votes to get busy and write letters and telegrams to the Ropub!i- van United States “Senators urging them to pass the anti-lynching bill be fore this session of the Senate ad- Journs,” Mr. Dyer continued. James Weldon Johnson in referring to Mr. Dyer’s statement said: “I want to back up as strongly as I can what Mr. Dyor says. Wo have bad much loy al support from colored —_peopte throughout the country, but ft has not been as great and united as tt should be, We are facing a most criti val situation on the Dyer Bill. Havin, heon reported out by the Senate Judi- elary Committee, it is up to us to show the Senate the bill must be pasn ed before this session of the Senate ad Journs. The Tariff Bill fs now to he Yoted on, by unanimous agreement, on August 19th, We must all work to hav’ tho antilynching Dill brought to a vote Wetore the November elections. We must keep the wires hot until the bin is passed.” MASONS PASS STRONG RESOLU TONS ENDORSING DYER BILL AL the International Conference tho Grand Masters, Past Grand Mas- ters, Grand Secretaries, ete., Prince Hall Masons of the United States roy resenting some 160,000 Masons, at their meeting in Washington, D. C. on August_8, passed strong resolutions calling“on the United States Senate to pass withdut delay the Dyer Anti- Lynching bill to “correct certain abus 8 and barbarous treatmont meted out to the citizens of this Republic,” a. ‘cording to an announcement made to- dlay by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. ‘The resolutions called upon the Sen- ate to take this step not only to city ithe disgrace of mob violence but to 1¢ move this blot frem the name of Ameriex, because “in foreign coun- tries the belief 1s common the Untced States government is indifferent *o punish the evil doers and we regret that the reports on lynch’ng will tent to lower the respect and oe- teom which the nation enjoys.” ‘The resolutions were signed by 1. II. Holmes, Grand Master of the Stale of Washington; 1. 1. Moore, Master of Kansns; and A, A. Schom- burg, Grand Secretary who composva the Committee on Resolutions, Copies of the resolutions Nave been forward- cd to Calvin Coolidge, Presiding OM- cor of the Senate; Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts, Republican Leader; and Samuel M.

BEVERIDGE ENDORSES; ANTI- LYNCIWNG BILL. “The crime of lynching Is so atrocl- ous and so subversive of the funde- mental principles of government that the most thorough measures shoutd bo adopted to prevent it. Nothing has thus far been presented that is more effective than the Dyer Antt-lynching Bill, Many times during my primary campaign I publicly declared my sup- port of the Dyer Bill. T do not see how any eltizen who believes in law and order can take any other stand.” Thus Albert J. Beveridge, forme United States Senator from ‘Indiana and recent winner over Senator Harry S. New in the Indiana primury for the Republican nomination for Senator de clared his stand on the anti-lynching bill in v letter made public here today by the National Association for tiv. Advancement of Colored People at its national office, 70 Fifth’ avenue, ‘The letter was written at the reqeust of x number of prominent citizens of Tua ana, who made the request because of the strenuous efforts now heing maae lo secure a vote on the measure dur ing this session of Congress, ‘The bill after being pasted in January by the House by a vote of 230 to 119, was fin ally reported out favorably on July 28 hy the Senate Judiciary Committee and is awaiting final action on tie floor of the Senate. Mr. Beveridge further pledged to the Advancement Association his ald in “the efforts of your Association to end the uncivilized practice of lynch-- ing. In this most worthy enterprise 1 wish you every possible success and am glad to express to you my heartiost support.” THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA ES ONE WAREHOUSE TO END RUM teen of tho sixty-nine warchouses. sé] HIGHWAY) LBAKS. We rie ge Re eee” eee $100,000,000 Worth of Whisky in 69 Buildings Will Be Moved Promises Surprises When Search is Made for Substituted Water. NEW PLAN OF DRY FORCE Central Structures for Holding Lia quor Will Bo Used All Over U.S ‘To just what extent fine old Hauors of the days before probibition nave been leaking out of supposedly well guarded warehouses in this eity prob- ably will become known before the end of the present month. This revs lation is expected to result from the transfer of liquors containe? in sixty- nino warehouses In Manhattan to a new Government controlled warchouse under a centralization plan envolved by the Treasury Dept. The value of the Hauors to be moved Is placed at $100,000,000 by Ralph A. Day pro- hibition director, from whom the first intimation of a’ wholesale leak came yosterday upon his return from a con forenco in Washington. Mr. Day conceded that he was not prepared to givo figures or cite ins stances In support of his intimation but made tho declaration there “will ho fireworks” when the movement be gins he said Wowever there is no question but many of the 30,000 bar- rols of whisky stored in Manhattan wIll be found to contain water when they are opened. ‘This will be part of the removal, and, In fact. i will I the most important part, because the persons in charge of the new contrat warchouse which has not been select- ed as yet will be morally and legally responsible for the contents of every barrel and case once they pass inside the doors. BIG MOVEMENT OF Liquor Not since prohibition became a fact has there been suclt a movement of Nanors as the one that will be ordered by prohibition authorities within a few days. The primary object, Mr. Day explained, is to get the Hauors into tho hands of persons who ean be hela legally responsible for any leaks that develop. Basically, however, the plan is one in-wh¥elr the authorities hope to discover just how much water is in New York’s whisky stock. That it {s well flooded Mr. Day and other en- forcement officers feel satisfied and their belief led to the Washington con ference. Those present aside from Mv. Day were Roy A. Haines, Prohibition Commissioner, and Frank Bowers, Cot lector of Customs for the Southern Dis triet of New York. ‘There are 30,000 barrels of liquor, yalued at $1,500 a barrel, or a total af $45,000,000, and 60,000 cases of bottled Mquors worth $30 a case stored in nine teen of tho sixty-nine warchouses. Sév on of these are known as free wate hauses. They aro fro In tho senso that the duty has been paid on the Hquors containe! in them. Theso warehouses aro free from the supervision of the In tornal Revenue Deparmont and the Customs Service, as avo the others, but no withdrawals can be made from them without permits from the Prohi- bition Director. In the fifty other warehouses are a miscollancous collection of bottled ana barreled Mquors, the exact valuo or quantity of which is not known. Mr. Day thought that a valuation of $50,- 000,000 for their collective contents would not be an exaggeration. ‘That would bring it down to $1,000,000 «. warehouse, and there are fow ware: houses so small that they will not hold that amount of Equor even at pre-pro- hibition prices, LEAKS LONG UNDER INQUIRY ‘The Washington conference between Messrs. Day, Haines and Bowers was the result of an invostigation that has been going on for sdme_ time. Leaks have boon known to occur from timo to tlme and there have been instances in which barrels of Mquor exported found to contain water when they reached their destination, Just how extensive Is this practice Director Day snid he ts not prepared to say, but hinted that the puvlte ts In for pur- prises. In discussing tho centralization plan he mentioned the great numbers of transfers that seom to be necessary in the wholesale Mquor business and called attention to the fact that it 15 hard to atch whisky in transit, even with a count of barrels and cases, ae the points of departure and recotpt, Just where this central warehouse will be located and its size are ques: tions that have not heen decided. Di reetor Day admitted that at least five places are beng considered but that none has definitely neon settled upon. It will however, be in Manhattan and most probably will be along oither the Bast or West River fronts somewhere in the contral part of the iskind, proh- ably In the Fifties or the Sixties, 6» that it will be equally accessiite vw all distillers. Director Day said the warehouse cen {ratization plan has been adopted by the prohibition authorities as a nation al poliey, New York city is the first point at which it is to be put into force and as time goes on it will he extended to other States and elttos. The object fs to have the country’s supply of ha- vor Ina reasonable number of ware. houses instead of in hundreds, if not thousands, of small — warehouses Urroughout the land. ‘The prohibition authorities wish to be able to put their fingers on every available drop of Hanor within. a brief period, Tt also will enable them to keep a moro thorough check on the Gistillers and to find out Just where the liquor is going when it leaves the warehouse and Lo trace it to Its destl- nation.

Edward Philpot, of Tronton, New Jersey is in the city visiting parents and friends and old acquaintances of his childhood days and his early manhood and ministerial life. All are glad to greet him. He will leave for home Friday, August 25. He looks the real picture of health and care. The offering at Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church Sunday was $118.69. The services at the High Street Baptist Church Sunday were uplifting and encouraging. Rev. W. E. Lee seemed at his best and all who heard these services were edified. Mrs. Hannah Hall and her daughter, Miss Alice, of Massachusetts, were in the city last week visiting her son and relatives of Mr. Ward Hall, of Park Street, N. W. They were looking fine. Remember M. Stanfold sells the Planet and Salvassona, Indian Herb Pills, and Dr. D. P. Ordway's Plasters and the finest line of goods for Millin Drug Co., of Memphis, Tenn. Try the old agent. Martinsville, Va., August 15. Mr. C. C. Clalborne departed this life August 15 after a long illness, which he bore with much patience until the end can. He leaves a faithful wife, one son and five brothers to mourn their loss and a host of relatives and friends. I take this method of thanking the many friends for their deeds of kindness and acts of love during the illness, death and burial of my beloved husband, C. C. Clalborne. Mr. Paul Thornhill, one of Roanoke's oldest citizens died August 20 after a short illness. He was taken to Roanoke Hospital but passed away in less than an hour after arriving at the hospital. He lived to the ripe old age of 83 years. He was cared for by Colonel Brooks, one of Roanoke's leading white citizens. He lived with him until his death and it was one of his last requests that his children look after Uncle Paul, which was faithfully done to the end. The remains were turned over to W. F. Hughes, the funeral services were held at Hughes Chapel, Interment in First Baptist Cemetery. Many of the old friends of this aged man were present to do honor to his memory. He was a man of wonderful memory and able to recall incidents of 75 years ago and disguises intelligently the issues of the day with our most modern students, until less than a week before his death DEPOSITORS HAVE GREAT MEETING The following news article was published in our "extra" of last week but has not appeared in a regular edition: A largely attended meeting of the depositors of the Mechanics Savings Bank was held last Thursday night at the City Auditorium, Rev. W. T. Johnson, D. D., pastor of the First Baptist Church presided. Music was furnished by the Municipal Band. Prayer was offered by Rev. J. O. Cook, Chairman Johnson then announced the purpose of the meeting. He called for a report of the committee previously appointed, of which Attorney J. Thomas Hewin was Chairman. He made the following report: We, your committee appointed at your meeting held Friday night July 21st, 1922, in the City Auditorium, beg leave to make the following report: We find that while we expected otherwise the receivers who were appointed by the judge of the Chancery Court, His Honor, William A. Moncure, have been unable to complete a report within a brief period of time as was expected, due to the construing of the order of the court to mean that all the pass-books must be turned in to the receivers at the bank and a report made thereon to the court, and that there are hundreds of depositors unwilling to part with the pass-book, which is the evidence of the liability of the bank to them, and that this would mean months of delay. We are of the opinion that the bank should be opened and the president of the Mechanies Savings Bank be permitted to comply with the requirement of the Banking Division of the Corporation Commission in the delivery of the required securities of ($33,500.00). Eighty-three Thousand Five Hundred Dollars in the meantime after, the bank is opened, the pass-books could be turned in from time to time and balanced. We learn that the probable liability on any pass-book can be secured by a bond to be given in an amount as the honorable court may see fit to require. As many of us are in need of money to pay our expenses and many organizations are held up on account of the inability to pay sick and death claims and many others have money to be deposited for safe-keeping and cannot utilize the facilities provided by the institution with which they have been doing business for so many years, it was deemed advisable to file a petition and a plea with the judge of the honorable court, asking that the officers and stockholders of the aforesaid Mechanics Savings Bank be permitted to open for business along the lines in dicated. We further pledge ourselves to use our best efforts to prevent anything even resembling a "run" on the aforesaid institution as we realize that such a step would tend to destroy one of the leading institutions in the country, which institution is a monument to the far-sightedness of the better class of white people who have shown EIGHT last Sunday afternoon. A wonderful man has fallen. Peace to his ashes Mr. Wiley Mitchell, of Sixth and Harrison Avenue and Mr. Robert Epps, the printer of Gainsboro Avenue left last Friday night for Newark, New Jersey, attending the Ellis Convention. They are two of the bright sons of Roanoke and will be the guest of Rev. E. E. Rieks, Ph. D., while in Newark. Master Irvin Howard made a flying trip to Richmond where he spent three years at Union University. He paid a short visit to his uncle, Thomas Howard and wife who were so much to him during his school days at Union. Miss Geraldine Watson and Miss Jessie King arrived in the city last Friday, August 18, from New York and Philadelphia. They are the daughter and niece of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob King. They will spend their vacation here. It is Geraldine's first visit South, but she seems well pleased with the situation. She is the daughter of Mrs. Martha Traynham of Roanoke. Mrs. N. J. Gravoly, 128 Seventh Avenue spent the week and visiting her mother-in-law and relatives of Danville and left Tuesday enroute for Lexington, Va. where she will spend some time with her immediate relatives. She was accompanied by her little adopted son. The services at St. Zachary A. M. E. Church were well attended, Rev. S. N. Mguango, the man from Africa deliverel a great sermon from John 4:9. Rev. George P. Miller, the local Elder took care of the situation at 8 o'clock using extracts from a midnight funeral of a Chinatown woman who had fallen and been restored by the grace and power of the holy Spirit. In loving memory of William Holland, who departed this life August 18th, 1920: Two years ago you left our home. Oh! how we have missed you. A jowel was taken from our home in your departure. Your place can never be filled. You were so tender, kind and considerate of your loved ones. And while our hearts are sad and ever grieving because of your absence, we know that you are saved and in Heaven where Jesus is, because you accepted Him by faith as your Saviour. Sleep on beloved, and take thy rest. It will not be long, before we will meet in Heaven to say farewell no more. His Wife, Mrs. Dora Holland and Children. us the way to practice economy and thrift in this life's battle. We ask that our course in this matter be approved by you, and that all depositors be urged to join in this petition for the relief prayed to the end that the unfortunate conditions now existing shall cease. We further commend the steady devotion of the colored people to the Mechanics Savings Bank and the unanimous support and encouragement accorded it by all other financial institutions in this city and State. We again emphasize our appreciation of the hearty expression of good-will and support accorded to us by practically all of the white people of this community and assure all parties that it has done more to cement the friendship previously existing between the races than any other thing could have done. Respectfully submitted, J. W. THOMPSON, J. O. COOK, J. H. BINFORD. A. W. HOLMES. MAGGIE L. WALKER. J. THOMAS HEWIN, Chairman. The chairman then read the following petition, which was filed in the Chancery Court, His Honor, William A. Moncure, presiding. It is as follows: Your petitioners, J. W. Thompson Holland Powell, W. H. Hughes, A. W. Holmes, Maggie L. Walker, J. Thomas Howin and J. H. Binford, Committee, acting on behalf of the Depositors of the Mechanics Savings Bank of the City of Richmond, appointed at a Mass Meeting of said Depositors at the City Auditorium in the City of Richmond, July 21st, 1922, as will be seen by circular, horowith fled, marked "Exhibit A," and prayed to be read as a part of this petition, and John B. Price, Janie W. Elam, George W. Brown, R. S. Nelson, Little Dove Club, C. P. Hayes, A. D. Price, K. S. Thomas, on behalf of themselves and such others who may desire to join them in this petition. all of whom are depositors in the said Mechanics Savings Bank of the City of Richmond, respectfully represent that they are large depositors and creditors of the said Mechanics Savings Bank and that they have been depositors in the said Bank for a number of years and that others, on whose behalf the Committee asked to be allowed to intercede, are also large depositors. Some of them have carried large accounts in the said Bank from its organization to the date of its closing; that some of them have all of their money on deposit in said Bank; that, by reason of the closing of the same, they are deprived of the use of their money; that they have THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA suffered great inconvenience and have been unable to carry out contracts made by them upon the strength of the money they had on deposit in the Bank at the time of its close; that they have suffered imparable injury in divers ways; that they have been unable to meet their obligations that have fallen due; that, many of their obligations have been protested and they have been made to appear as defaulters, because of their inability to have the use of their money which is in said Bank. Many of them have notes falling duo upon the purchase of their homes and they are being subjected to threats and foreclosure because of their inability to have the use of their money on deposit in the said Mechanics Savings Bank; that a large number of secret organizations represented by your petitioners, are put to great inconvenience on account of their inability to check on the funds in the said Mechanics Savings Bank for the funeral expense and other indebtedness of their members; that they have been put to inconvenience by reason of their inability to draw on the said Bank for sick dues, due the members of the said organizations for weekly sick dues; that, the members of the various organizations and beneficial corporations are handicapped, because of their inability to draw on the Bank for the necessary funds to meet their obligations. That your petitioners further represent that they saw an item in the local columns of one of the daily papers in the City of Richmond that the receivers desired the depositors to turn in their books to said receivers but the depositors did not understand why they should be required to give up the only evidence of the indebtedness of the Bank to them and that they now and always have entertained the utmost confidence in the President and Directors of the said Mechanics Savings Bank and that they do not question their honesty and integrity, for this reason a large majority of the depositors have refused and doth refuse to turn over their books to the receivers. While it is true the receivers are strangers to them but, through the Court, they have the utmost confidence and respect for the receivers because, they are informed, the said receivers are officers of the Court and that their books could not be lost or misplaced by them yet they feel that they would prefer keeping the evidence of the indebtedness of the Bank to them in their own possession, especially, since they have no reason to believe or suspect that there is anything wrong with their accounts with the said Bank. Your petitioners further represent that the depositors of the said Bank are anxious that the Bank and its affairs be returned to its officers, that the same may be opened at the earliest practicable moment to relieve the condition hereinbefore referred to; that a large number of the depositors are with-holding their books from the receivers for the reason that, they verily believe, should the more than three thousand depositors give their books to the receivers to be audited by them, the Bank will be closed indefinite; that they believe it will take several months for the receivers to audit these three thousand and more of passbooks. In order that the receivers may expedite their work and, make their partial or full report to the Court, to the end that the Bank may be re-opened, they have declined and both decline to deliver their books to said receivers; that they have not been informed of any law compelling them to give up their books, which is the only receipt they have against the said Bank; that they have no means of knowing how long it would take to audit and state the three thousand and more accounts between the said Band and the said depositors; that some of the said depositors were depositors in the Savings Bank of the Grand Fountain United Order of True Reformers and that they had been required to deliver their books and the receivers or those in charge of the matter were unable to close these accounts and make a final report to the Court for nearly ten years, during which time a large number of the depositors departed this life, and that this is the further reason why the depositors -of the Mechanics Savings Bank are unwilling to turn in their books unless they are forced to do so by law; that it is not their intention to complain of those who had charge of the Savings Bank of the Grand Fountain United Order of True Reformers but simply refer to the matter to show some of the reasons why the said depositors in the Mechanics Savings Bank have refused to deliver their books to the receivers of the said Mechanics Savings Bank. That your petitioners are informed, had the President of the Mechanics Savings Bank, after agreeing to give securities for $83,000.00, not refused to pay interest upon said securities at the rate of Six (6) Percent, the Bank would not have been closed and that his refusal to sign the obligation carrying the interest at the rate of Six (6) Percent, afteoresaid, was the prime cause of the closing of the said Bank; that your petitioners are informed that the President, Hon. John Mitchell, Jr., has, since the closing of the said Bank, entered into an agreement, satisfactory of the Banking Department of Virginia, thereby removing all of the objections existing prior to the closing of the said Bank and that, if your petitioners are correctly informed on this point, they feel that all objections have been removed and that the Bank and its property should now be turned over to its owners; that, your petitioners have been informed, they are entitled to a hearing before your honorable Court in the suit known by the short style of "State Corporation Commission Against Mechanics Savings Bank;" and that they believe, should your Honor give them a hearing through their petitioners, that you will order the receivers to turn over the property of said Bank to owners. Your petifi'oners humbly pray that they, in their individual capacity and as a Committee representing the de posters assembled at the 'City Auditorium, as a officer and others who have requested that the said Committee make known their wishes to your Honor's Court, may be heard through said Committee and individually; and that they may be made party defendants in the suit of State Corporation, Commission against the Mechanics Savings Bank; that the property of the said Mechanics Savings Bank be turned over to the owners and officers of the said Mechanics Savings Bank and that the same may be re-opened by the directors of the said Mechanics Savings Bank at as early a date as practicable; that the relief sought may be obtained on behalf of the depositors of the said Bank; that all other, further and general relief may be granted your petitioners as if specifically prayed for in this bill. In duty bound, they will ever pray. Signed: J. W. THOMPSON. J. H. BINFORD. J. THOMAS HEWIN. MAGGIE L. WALKER A. W. HOLMES. JNO. B. PRICE. JANIE W. ELAM. GEO. W. BROWN. R. S. NELSON. LITTLE DOVE CLUB.

Richmond Girls Win First Honor at Kittrell Conference. It will be difficult to find a more enthusiastic group than the twenty-one Richmond delegates who have just returned from the Y. W. C. A. Girls Conference at Kittrell, N. C. The spirit of fellowship was felt from the beginning and was heartily entered into by each delegate. By playing, studying, thinking and living with girls from cities in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida, our girls learned to know what it means "to break down barriers, to change thinking and to widen the reach of love." Following a schedule beginning at 6:45 A.M. M. ending at 9:30 P.M. which included among other things Setting-Up Exercises, flag raising, assembly health talks, Bible classes, recreation quiet hour and committee meetings, not to forget three regular meals, each girl found herself under influences making, for better mental, physical and spiritual development. Each has returned with a better understanding of herself and life generally, a deepest sympathy for others and a desire to pass on her experience to some one else. The theme of the Conference; "Gift Bearers All," was well presented in the lectures, the songs, the sports and games, the pageant and in fact, in every activity of Conference life. Not only this but each girl was given opportunities to use her gift opportunities which were eagerly grasped. So well did the Bound-to-Win Tribe (our girls) use their gifts that they left Kittrell with first honors, winning the highest number of points over the five other tribes. Points were given for neatness, popularity, thrift and sportsmanship with extra points for the best song, joke, stunt and yell. The prize poem: "The Spirit of the Girl Reserves;" was written by Miss Tibita Alexander of the Aim High club and the prize song: "The Conference purpose," was composed by Miss Evelyn Burrell of the H. H. H. club. Second honors were won by our girls in stunts in yells. Besides winning first honors Richmond carried the largest delegation, (21) to Kittrell. The delegates were: Misses Evelyn Burrell, Henrietta Barrett, Eva Boswell, Dellahh Crump, Tabitha Alexander, Almeria Edmunds Elise Gainos, Myrtle Griffin, Grace Lowis, Bernell Lee; Annie Jenkins, Rosa Fletcher, Ethel Jackson, Advisors; Misses Alto Johnson, Clarissa Kyles; Louise Johnson; Beatrice Edmunds and Sadie Daniels. Guest Miss Catherine Barrett and Dr. B. B. Tharp, Secretary, Miss Viola Chapain. A Conference club composed of all those who have ever attended a Girls Conference will be organized soon. If you are in this number we are depend ing on you "to follow the gleam." Don't forget the Social Hour on Sunday afternoon from 6:30 to 7:30 Miss Katie Bolling will serve as hostess this Sunday.
