THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia State Library --- THE NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE HOLDS GREAT SESSION AND ADOPTS CONSTRUCTIVE PLAN VOLUME XXXIX, NO. 43 THE NATIONAL NE LEAGUE HOLDS AND ADOPTS CO (By the Associated Negro Press.) Norfolk, Va., Aug.-Dr. Moton reelected President, $5,000 raised for the setting out of a constructive program a decision to hold a Silver Jubilee in the city of Chicago in 1924 and the selection of an Executive Secretary to travel and make surveys of business conditions among colored people throughout the country are among the more pronounced accomplishments of the Business League which has just closed its annual convention in this city. The one sensation of the convention was the losing fight that Fred A. Moore, Editor of the New York Age made to get control of the preliminary organization. Editor Moore wanted Chief Ranger Webb of the Woodmen for temporary Chairman but the younger group elected C. C. Spaulding of Durham, N. C., to that position. Rumors of the New York editor having his eyes on the Presidency of the organization were in the air but they could not be verified. Officers elected were: R. R. Moton, president; honorary president, J. C. Napier, Nashville; Mound Bayou, Miss.; C. H. Brooks of vice-presidents Charles Banks of Philadelphia, R. R. Church of Memphis, W. L. Colon of New Orleans, L. E. Willett of Savannah, D. M. Roddy of Memphis, Mrs. A. E. Malone of St. Louis; Honorary vice-president M. Booker T. Washington, Tuskegee, Ala.; secretary A. L. Holsey, Tuskegee; treasurer John L. Webb, Hot Springs; registrar F. H. Gilbert; Brooklyn; assistant registrar J. E. Clay, Bristol, Tenn.; transportation agent, C. A. Barnett, Chicago; chairman of executive committee, C. C. Spaulding, Durham, N. C. The convention is acclaimed the most successful in the history of the League It was addressed by the Leut. Governor of the State of Virginia; Isath T. Montgomery delivered what is declared to be one of the most eloquent oralations delivered in the "Old Dominion" since the late Unpleasantness Between The States; and president Moton's address was brim full of sound sense and eloquent periods. "Special equality" was denounced by Dr. Robert R. Moton as a "smoke screen used by office seekers or politicians to ride into office. The progress made by the American Negro has been due to the sympathetic co-operation of the white people. He added that there never was a time that the white people of the South were so ready and willing to co-operate with the Negroes as they are today. Dr. Moton strongly advocated the passing of the Dyer anti-lynching bill by Congress. In this he was supported in an address by Henry Lincoln Johnson, Republican National Committee from Georgia, Johnson said Congress should act and then let the Supreme Court decide whether or not the act is constitutional. Timely and eloquent addresses were (Continued on Second Page.) GRAND LODGE IMPERIAL ORDER OF KING DAVID.

(Preston News Service.) Macon, Ga., Aug. 31.—The Bibb county grand jury which has been in session three weeks investigating the recent lynching of John Glover and other lawlessness in connection with the outbreak will take a recess during the time the Monroe County grand jury is in session. This it is said will be done so that various witnesses summed before the Bibb county body will be given an opportunity to go to Griffin where they have been summoned as witnesses.

Since the "Y" has made no appeal to the public for funds since March 1921 we feel confident that the community stands ready to do its part in assisting to finance our work. Due to the economic conditions we deem it wise to announce at this early date our plan so that every one will be prepared to give and that we will have the co-operation of all. The following guests were registered at the "Y" during the week: Mesdames D. K. Cherry, J. B. Dudley, T. D. Bluford and Miss Willie Moorehead of Greensboro, N.

RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1922 THE REV, E. E. SMITH LEAVES NEWPORT NEWS. Anyone attending Trinity Baptist Church last Sunday and a number did attend despite the inclement weather —could not fail to have been sensible of the atmosphere of depression and sorrow that settled over the church. It was the last Sunday that the Rev. E. E. Smith would preach as pastor, he having accepted a call to the Second Baptist Church of South McDermond. Many of his schoolmates and one of the his class-mates, Mr. Manings was present. Rev. Smith had been pastor of this progressive church for seven years, and had endeared himself to its entire membership and the friends who visited, there and there was real sorrow that he was going to preach his farewell sermon. Without making reference to the fact of his going, the young Divine took as a subject "The Voyage of Life and for twenty-five minutes he entertained his hearers with an eloquent discourse, replete with spiritual force which held his audience enthralled. It was a masterpiece of eloquence and left everyone who heard it visibly touched. At the request of Deacon Wiggins, Lawyer J. Thomas Newsome made a few remarks on behalf of the church. In a voice saddened and trembling with emotion the Lawyer pointed out some of the things that had been accomplished under the leadership of Rev. Smith. He said that under his administration, the church debt, which was over three thousand dollars had been paid; that he had been such a constructive leader that the adult members of the church donated more money per capita than any church he knew of in the State; that he said, by his quiet life and genial disposition, created a better neighborhood feeling than had ever existed in the East End, and that although he came to the church a single man, having married three or four years after he was elected pastor, that his life had been transparent and pure and his influence for the highest morality had given a certain tone to the church which would be with it for years and years to come; that he had been a strong advocate for higher education, his advice resulting in a number of the young men and women matriculating in some of our very best schools and colleges, and that although he was a man of education being an Honor graduate from both the college and theological departments of Union University, yet, he had always maintained an attitude of simplicity, his sermons being easily understood by the most unlettered communicant that worshipped in the church. At the conclusion of lawyer Newsome's remarks a splendid collection was lifted and Deacon Wiggins appointed a committee to draft resolutions to be read at the evening services. Quite a crowd greeted Rev. Smith when he ascended the rostrum for this service when he really preenced his farewell sermon, taking as his subject: "Growing in Grace." He preached to the audience very much as a father would to his children from whom he expected to be separated to some time. It is impossible to use words to convey any idea of the effect the sermon had upon his hearers. At its conclusion touching remarks were made by Deacons Wiggins, W. H. Schofield and John H. Jordan after which the following resolutions were read and adopted: Whereas, after seven years of highly satisfactory service as pastor of Trinity Baptist Church, Rev. E. E. Smith has tendered voluntarily his resignation; and, Whereas, the church has accepted with unfeigned sorrow the resignation so tendered and desires to go on record as testifying to the high character, eminent fitness, and unselfish laborers exemplified by Rev. Smith dating his stay in our city and church, now, therefore, Be it resolved that, while we reu- tantly relinquish our claim upon him as pastor, we nevertheless cheerfully commend him to the members of his new field of endeavor as a man of high ideals, unblemished, Christian character, a hold preacher of the tao- pel and a fearless, uncompromising advocate of righteous living as taught in the words and acts of Jesus Christ; Resolved second, That he shall not only carry with him the high esteem and sincere good wishes of the entire church, but that we shall invoke for him from the Giver of good and per- fect gifts a full life of service in the front ranks of the Soldiers of the cross. Done by order of Trinity Baptist Church, Sunday August 27, 1922. AUTHOR BOOK. J. THOMAS NEWSOME JAMES PURYEAR.

THE NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE HOLDS GREAT SESSION AND ADOPTS CONSTRUCTIVE PLAN VOLUME XXXIX, NO. 43 THE NATIONAL NE LEAGUE HOLDS AND ADOPTS CO (By the Associated Negro Press.) Norfolk, Va., Aug.-Dr. Moton re-elected President, $5,000 raised for the seating out of a constructive program a decision to hold a Silver Jubilee in the city of Chicago in 1924 and the selection of an Executive Secretary to travel and make surveys of business conditions among colored people throughout the country are among the more pronounced accomplishments of the Business League which has just closed its annual convention in this city. The one sensation of the convention was the losing fight that Fred A. Moore, Editor of the New York Age made to get control of the preliminary organization. Editor Moore wanted Chief Ranger Webb of the Woodmen for temporary Chairman but the younger group elected C. C. Spaulding of Durham, N. C., to that position. Rumors of the New York editor having his eyes on the Presidency of the organization were in the air but they could not be verified. Officers elected were: R. R. Moton, president; honorary president, J. C. Napier, Nashville; Mound Bayou, Miss.; C. H. Brooks of vice-presidents Charles Banks of Philadelphia, R. R. Church of Memphis, W. L. Cohen of New Orleans, L. E. Willett of Savannah, D. M. Roddy of Memphis, Mrs. A. E. Malone of St. Louis; Honorary vice-president Mrs. Booker T. Washington, Tuskegee, Ala. secretary A. L. Holsey, Tuskegee; treasurer John L. Webb, Hot Springs; registrar F. H. Gilbert; Brooklyn; assistant registrar E. Clay, Bristol, Tenn.; transportation agent, C. A. Barnett, Chicago; chairman of executive committee, C. C. Spaulding, Durham, N. C. The convention is acclaimed the most successful in the history of the League. It was addressed by the Lieut. Governor of the State of Virginia; Isath T. Montgomery delivered what is declared to be one of the most eloquent orations delivered in the "Old Dominion" since the late Unpleasantness Between The States; and president Moton's ad dress was brim full of sound sense and eloquent periods. "Special equality" was denounced by Dr. Robert R. Moton as a "umbrella screen used by office seekers or politicians to ride into office. The progress made by the American Negro has been due to the sympathetic co-operation of the white people. He added that there never was a time that the white people of the South were so ready and willing to co-operate with the Negroes as they are today. Dr. Moton strongly advocated the passing of the Dyer anti-lynching bill by Congress. In this he was supported in an address by Henry Lincoln Johnson, Republican National Committee from Georgia, Johnson said Congress should act and then let the Supreme Court decide whether or not the act is constitutional. Timothy and eleventh addresses were (Continued on Second Page.) GRAND LODGE IMPERIAL ORDER OF KING DAVID.

Macon, Ga., Aug. 31.—The Bibb county grand jury which has been to session three weeks investigating the recent lynching of John Glover and other lawlessness in connection with the outbreak will take a recess during the time the Monroe County grand jury is in session. This it is said will be done so that various witnesses sum moned before the Bibb county body will be given an opportunity to go to Griffin where they have been summoned as witnesses. No recent indictments have been returned. With this announcement, it now appears that the probe will last more than a month and it is expected that when the Bibb county jury adjourns a large number of indictments will be returned. --- IDEAL SOCIETY NOTES.

Since the "Y" has made no appeal to the public for funds since March 1921 we feel confident that the community stands ready to do its part in assisting to finance our work. Due to the economic conditions we deem it wise to announce at this early date our plan so that every one will be prepared to give and that we will have the co-operation of all. The following guests were registered at the "Y" during the week: Mesdames I. K. Cherry, J. B. Dudley, T. D. Bluford and Miss Willie Moorehead of Greensboro, N.

E. E. SMITH LEAVES NEWPORT NEWS. Anyone attending Trinity Baptist Church last Sunday and a number did attend despite the inclement weather — could not fail to have been sensible of the atmosphere of depression and sorrow that settled over the church. It was the last Sunday that the Rev. E. E. Smith would preach as pastor, he having accepted a call to the Second Baptist Church of South Elmond. Many of his schoolmates and one of the class-mates, Mr. Mannings, was present. Rev. Smith had been pastor of this progressive church for seven years, and had endeared himself to its entire membership and the friends who visited, there another was real sorrow that he was going to preach his farewell sermon.

Pr the Virginia Unpreach for us, had by the choir Without making reference to the fact of his going, the young Divine took as a subject "The Voyage of Life, and for twenty-five minutes he entertained his hearers with an eloquent discourse, replete with spiritual force which held his audience enthralled. It was a masterpiece of eloquence and left everyone who heard it visibly touched. At the request of Deacon Wiggins, Lawyer J. Thomas Newsome made a few remarks on behalf of the church. In a voice saddened and trembling with emotion the Lawyer pointed out some of the things that had been accomplished under the leadership of Rev. Smith. He said that under his administration, the church debt, which was over three thousand dollars had been paid; that he had been such a constructive leader that the adult members of the church donated more money per capita than any church he knew of in the State; that he said, by his quiet life and genial disposition, created a better neighborhood feeling than had ever existed in the East End, and that although he came to the church a single man, having married three or four years after he was elected pastor, that his life had been transparent and pure and his influence for the highest morality had given a certain tone to the church which would be with it for years and years to come; that he had been a strong advocate for higher education, his advice resulting in a number of the young men and women matriculating in some of our very best schools and colleges, and that although he was a man of education being an Honor graduate from both the college and theological departments of Union University, you, he had always maintained an attitude of simplicity, his sermons being easily understood by the most unlettered communicant that worshipped in the church. At the conclusion of lawyer Newsome's remarks a splendid collection was lifted and Deacon Wiggins appointed a committee to draft resolutions to be read at the evening services. Quite a crowd greeted Rev. Smith when he ascended the rostrum for this service when he really preaccede his farewell sermon, taking as his subject: "Growing in Grace." He preaccede to the audience very much as a father would to his children from whom he expected to be separated to some time. It is impossible to use words to convey any idea of the effect the sermon had upon his hearers. At its conclusion touching remarks were made by Dracons Wiggins, W. H. Schofield and John H. Jordan after which the following resolutions were read and adopted: Whereas, after seven years of highly satisfactory service as pastor of Trinity Baptist Church, Rev. E. L. Smith has tendered voluntarily his resignation; and, Whereas, the church has accepted, with unintended sorrow the resignation so tendered and desires to go on record as testifying to the high character, eminent fitness, and unselfish laborors exemplified by Rev. Smith daing his stay in our city and church, now, therefore, Be it resolved that, while we refuse anly relinquish our claim upon him as pastor, we nevertheless cheerfully commend him to the members of his new field of endeavor as a man of high ideals, unblemished, Christian character, a hold preacher of the Gospel and a fearless, uncompromising advocate of righteous living as taught in the words and acts of Jesus Christ; Resolved second, That he shall not only carry with him the high esteem and sincere good wishes of the entire church, but that we shall invoke for him from the Giver of good and perfect gifts a full life of servie in the front ranks of the Soldiers of the cross. Done by order of Trinity Baptist Church, Sunday August 27, 1922. COMMITTEE: W. O. GREENE. AARON BOONE. J. THOMAS NEWSOME JAMES PUBYEAR.

RISING MT ZION NOTES The rapid progress of the Men's Bible class is especially noticeable owing to the fact that the men are manifesting keener interest in Bible studies than heretofore. Aside from the rapid increase in scholarship they are introducing new ideas that will develop the aim as well as the scholarship of the class. Tuesday night in the lecture room of the church was the scene of one of the most beautiful banquets ever witnessed in this church. The entire affair being managed solely by these vallant men. Affairs were handled with such ease and alacacy that the feminine visitors wondered how it was done. It is their aim to arouse in the men of this vicinity a keener interest in Sun day School work. Sunday morning they were privileged to have Mr. H. N. Johnson of Norfolk, Va., as teacher. Mr. Johnson also was a member of a splendid program (which preceded the banquet on Tuesday night) as essayist. Mr. and Mrs. B. A.

KU KLUX MEETING IS BROKEN UP BY INDIGNANT CITIZENS. Pittsburgh, Pa., Aug. 31.—Armed with shotguns, clubs and brooms, men and women late Friday night routed a score of members of the Ku Klux Klan who were going through the initiation ceremonies of the klan in Olympia park, Duquesne Heights. Four automobiles, containing members of the klan drove to the park shortly after 11 P. M. and after donning their robes, erected a cross and ignited it. As the cross burned the klan formed a circle around it, and started their ceremonies of initiation. Residents seeing the reflection of the burning cross in the sky rushed to the park, armed with guns, clubs and brooms and within five minutes hurdled of men and women swarmed in to the park. The klansmen discovering that trouble was iminating, removed their robes and jumped into the waiting automobiles and sped away. The enraged men and women torn down the cross and destroyed it. When departing the klansmen left a packet of 100 newspapers printed in Georgia purporting to show the strength and work the klan is performing. The papers were burned by the angry citizens. --- THE NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE HOLDS GREAT SESSION AND ADOPTS CONSTRUCTIVE PLAN TWO (Continued from the First Page.) made by A. L. Jackson, literary editor of the Chicago Defender Mrs. A. E. Malone of the Poro Company of St. Louis, Mo.; J. A. Jackson of the New York Billboard; H. T. Dickey, president of the Negro Chamber of Commerce of this city; the Rev. Richard H. Bowling, Maurice G. Long, P. B. Young, Editor of the Norfolk Jornale and Guide of Norfolk; C. H. James of Charlestown, W. Va.; Maurice Banka of Mound Bajou, Miss; Dr. M. E. Davis of Portsmouth, Va.; P. J. Lavy of South Carolina; the Hon. Belton Smith of Memphis, Tenn.; Mrs. Taylor of Indianapolis, Ind.; John L. Webb of Hot Springs, Ark.; C. M. White, Chief Ranger of the American Woodmen of Denver, Colo.; H. Omona hndro of Norfolk, Va.; Dr. G. E. Davis of Charlotte, N. C.; W. H. Crocker of Suffolk, Va.; Watt Terry of Brockton Mass.; Col. Matt N. Lewis of Newport News, Va.; Dr. Carl Hunt of New York City; Prof. T. S. Inborden or Bricks, N. C.; and J. R. E. Lee of New York City. the report of the Committee in charge o. the survey of general conditions throughout the country was read by Chairman W. S. Andrews of Baltimore, Md. In spite of the hard times the economic condition of the Negro is not without encouraging features—Like the rich he has met with business failures and has suffered losses but apparently not in so great a proportion as others—In some instances failures have resulted in better organizations and improved business methods generally. In is especially significant that in most cases Negroes themselves have been able to effect the reorganization and improvements. In the building and other mechanical trades Negroes have been able not only to hold their own, but in some sections have made advances—and the continued migration of the colored people to the North would seem to indicate that Negro labor is also making good in the enerver competition of that section. In the commercial world the Negro has made marked advances. We have chains of stores representing hundreds of thousands of dollars. Members of the Place are entering into every field of endeavor especially in the banking and the insurance business. We have successfully operated banks in various sections of the country. Life Insurance companies are carrying on their books more than five hundred dollars with ample reserve for the protection of every policy in force. In farming activities the Negro is holding his own to a remarkable degree in spite of the handicap and the difficulties that he daily encounters. Few other people could have withstood the opposition that he has had, could have made the progress that he has made and could have kept his courage under such adverse circumstances. Where it is remembered that these people entered into Agricultural life, without financial assistance and that their success in former ownership is almost wholly due to his own efforts and when it is also rememBERED that these farmers throut the land have had to continue with almost insuperable obstacles. We can but rejoice for the wonderful progress made. Beloving that the development of the Muscle Shoals power plant for the production of nitrates for agricultural purposes will be greatly beneficial to the farming interests of the country and therefore to the people at large, we heartily endorse the plan to push forward its development. In education the Negro is making steady progress. The Southern States are almost uniformly making substantial headway in the better organizations of their educational work for Negroes in the building and equipment of suitable modern schoolhouses for their children in improving the supervision of colored schools, in the better training of colored teachers and in an encouraging number of cases they are increasing high schools for Negro youth. Negro schools and colleges, and private institutions show similar progress among the colored people. College enrollment in the better institutions has greatly increased since the Worlo War, and the schools are providing better facilities and offering an increased variety of practice and modern courses. In this connection it is interesting to note that the several states are fast making college education for Negroes a requisite condition not only for practicing the professions, but for teaching in certain of the schools. The National Negro Business League in standing as it does for the highest type of manhood, citizenship, the development of manhood, morals and education, registers its emphatic condemnation of lawlessness and crime of every form. It stands unequivocably for the enforcement of the 18th Amendment to the federal constitution and the laws enacted therounder and for the enforcement of the 14th and 15th Amendments as well. We view with amazement the nervous energy and determined activity which the federal government puts forth to enforce the 18th Amendment, the creation of an army of prohibition enforcing officiant the expenditure of hundreds of millions of dollars to apprehend and punish violators of the laws enacted under that Amendment when no effort, not the slightest consideration is given to the enforcement of the 14th and 15th Amendments affecting the rights and liberties of the Negro group. The first and highest function of government is the malanate ocef law and order. When lawlessness and isorder become the fixed habit of a people and mob law supercedes and supplants the courts not only is the life of the citizen in jeopardy but the life of the government itself is imperiled. Mob lust for blood knows no limit when once set in motion and the mob which today tortures and burns or shoots a helpless Negro to death will butcher members of its own race when aroused by the desire for revenge and personal hatred. America's proud boast of freedom and democracy and its seeming solitary tude for justice and fair play for weak and oppressed peoples of the Old World and for mankind generally causes it to be held up in scorn and derision and its preachments for justice looked upon as hypocritical protestons when the bloody record of American mobs with no governmental effort to curb or resrain them or to punish its members is hebel. In order to wipe out this black and bloody stain, restore law and order in American life, vouchsafe security of life to the bumblest American citizen, and purge this great government in the eyes of civilized nations we call upon the Senate of the United States to pass the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill and we urge the President of the United States to use the influence and power of his office to achieve its speedy passage. W. T. ANDREWS, Baltimore, Md. W. T. B. WILLIAMS, Ala. I. T. MONTGOMERY, Miss. C. M. WHITE, Colo. C. C. DOGAN, Va. W. S. SCARBOROUGH, D. C. BISHOP I. B. SCOTT, Tenn. J. E. MITCHELL, Mo. All the gloom prophets were utterly routed this year. Their predictions that the League was dead or about to pass in its checks were not verified. To the contrary the organization never showed so much of real and sub stantial vitality. "Very much alive" is the consensus of opinion that follows in the wake of the convention. Construction, CONSTRUCTION and more of it was literally shouted from the housetop to the cellar of the meeting. The rehearsal of business experiences were put with the minor happenings this year. Discussions marking for the improvement of business situations throut the country were constantly before the convention. There was a letter read from the United States Chamber of Commerce. Technical experts such as the president of the Guarantee Trust Company of New York City members of the stac of the national government's department of Research proffering co-operation were among the signs in evidence that a very general plan and operations on the League. It took President Moton just 15 minutes by the convention clock to raise nearly $5,000 for the work of developing the League's proposed constructive program. That was not all of the pure that the head of the League played in the proceedings. His many admirers presented him with a handsome touring automobile as a token of their high regard for him. This was one of the touching incidents in the convention. Principal Moton was visibly effected at this showing of the respect in which he is held by the people throut the country and his response to the donors of the gift was colored with repressed emotion and eloquent reference to his appreciation of the serious responsibilities that have come to him in recent years. A revealing feature of the sessions were the affiliated associations of the League. The National Negro Funeral Directors' Association, the National Negro Farmers' Association, the National Negro Bar Association, the National Negro Bankers' Association, the National Association of Managers of County Fairs and the exhibition window dessing display of the C. J. Walker Company—which was one of the convention's biggest attractions—all contributed to what has been called "The astounding success of this year's convention." But best of all Norfolk has been raised out of the dumps of a long Business depression by the optimistic spirit of the convention. New life has come into the business temper of the city. Two big bank failures had very nearly taken the business heart out the convention is about to change of years. The good cheer optimism of our people during the past two that condition and Business is very likely to take fresh and spirited new start that can not bug redound to the lasting benefit of the Norfolk colored people. The local arrangements for the convention were conducted by George T. Dickson, Secretary of the local Negro Chamber of Commerce; W. M. Rich, president of the Metropolitan Bank; P. B. Young, staff of the Journal and Guide; Levi Bright, associated with a company comprised of Jews, Japanese and Negroes in a big public market as the principal members of a large citizens' committee. Special attention must be called to the reception, and accommodation this committee afforded the meeting of the Press Association which held an interesting meeting and decided some very important matters relating to the association's attitude on many of the big public questions. The Negro Bankers' meeting was pronounced a big success by the bankers in attendance at its sessions. Washington is quite likely to be chosen as the meeting place for next year although that has not been definitely decided upon. Chicago, however has been determined on as the meeting place for 1924. This is to be Silver Jubilee meeting. It was a new blood convention. The reactionary group were compelled to give way to the rising generation. This fact came to the surface through the selection of C. C. Snaundol of THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Durham, N. C., as Chairman of the Executive Committee. The "Old Guard" who refused to get out of the way were summarily disposed of and made to take a back seat. Close observers of the Convention's doings declare that this result will redound to the benefit of the organization and give it a lease of life that will make for its substantial progress for many years to come. The selection of Dr. Moton to succeed himself is viewed with general satisfaction particularly in this section where his leadership has been widely approved. THE DOINGS OF THE Y. M. C.

It can be done. The Colored People of Richmond, Virginia own ($3,670,307) Three Million, Six Hundred and Seventy Thousand, Three Hundred and Seven Dollars worth of Property, Real and Personal. This credit will open the Bank without one dollar's worth of cash. The Bank's Deposits aggregate approximately Four Hundred Thousand Dollars. With the Assets of its affiliated corporations and that of the Directors of the Institution, aided by the patriotic Depositors, it can again function and its doors thrown wide to the public. The liberal-minded white people are watching the outcome and have pledged support. The Clergy, under the leadership of Dr. Evans Payne, are a unit. Let us re-open the Bank and prosecute the alleged guilty afterwards. The Receivers of the Bank are doing their whole duty. No one denies that. We are authoritatively informed that Hon. John Randolph Tucker, attorney for the State Corporation Commission and Attorney James W. Gordon are favorable to any proper method of rehabilitating and re-opening the Bank. Both are willing to waive their fees (which will not be necessary), in order to aid the people of this community in any such movement. Then why not re-open the Bank? The State Corporation Commission is friendly. The Attorney General is outspoken and His Excellency, the Governor, is vitally interested in the financial prosperity of the Colored People, while the white press and the colored press are as one in support of the movement. As for the allied colored banks, they are also a unit. The movement is feasible and we are now bending our efforts to re-open the Mechanics Savings Bank. There is plenty of money available for this purpose and there is plenty of property to safeguard the movement. Let us re-open The Mechanics Savings Bank. To keep it closed would be to reflect upon Colored Richmond, while the white people would be ashamed of our ability to do business. IT CAN BE DONE. Let us re-open the Bank. When the Receivers ascertain just the amount of credit necessary to safe-guard the deposits, let us proceed to business. Raising Two Hundred Thousand Dollars would be a mere bagatelle in the face of the millions of dollars which would be saved by the operation, outside of the prestige to this community, which boasts of having the best Colored People in the world. LET US RE-OPEN THE MECHANICS SAVINGS BANK.

THOUSANDS OF ELKS THRONG NEWARK FOR SPECTACULAR GRAND LODGE SESSION (Continued from last week) from Plainfield, N. J., and the college men delegation from New Haven, Conn. The delegation of Sheiks from Jersey City attracted considerable attention, while the ambulance corps of Black Cross nurses from Washington, D. C., presented a beautiful sight. SPECTATORS LINE SIDEWALKS FOR MILES. It seemed as though all the colored people from New Jersey, New York City, Brooklyn and Eastern Pennsylvania and large crowds form nearly every other state in the union were there to see the parade. And don't forget that white people were lined up by the thousands watching the parade and commenting favorably upon the soothing, "jazzy" music furnished by the various bands in the parade. In fact there was such a mass of humanity all along the line of march; people were in windows hanging on telegraph and telephone poles—just any place they could get to see the parade. Tops of buildings and houses were lined with humanity. The parade started almost on time. A feature of the parade was the dozen floats, decked with purple and white bearing members of various lodges. Nearly 300 automobiles were in the parade. The procession was headed by the mounted police, riding in a line which stretched across the street. Behind them rode Grand Marshall Victor Walker of Denver, Colorado and his aides on horseback, with high silk hats and frock coats. Then came the first of the hands that were never out of hearing for over two hours, who lie the parade passed the "Four Corners" Pride of Newark Lodge and Essex Temple followed. The largest delegation in the line of march was that from New York. The Excelsior band led he New York delegation. Two floats followed the Mon arch and Manhattan lodges and a goat led the Manhattan lodge. These lodges received much applause from the spectators all long the line of march. A woman's band seemed to be the leading feature of the parade for it received greatest applause from the spectators. Jersey City lodge had a band and a float. The Orange lodge and the Montclair lodge made splendid showing. The Jamaica Long Island lodge had a beautifully decorated float for its women auxiliary. PARADER RUN OVER BY FLOAT While taking part in the parade Phillip Rossel of Trenton, N. J., aged Read The Richmond Planet Agents Wanted Everywhere 61 years, was run over by a float in the parade and suffered broken bones in both feet.

P. O. E., was reported stolen from an automobile at Williams and Washing ton streets during the parade. Hugh J. McGhee of Buffalo, N. Y. who asked the police on Wednesday for aid in covering the banner. He set its value at $150. JERSEY OFFICERD BUSY FINDING DRIVERS According to reports several touring cars filled with out-of-state visitors going to Newark to attend the convention were taken into custody by traffic officials claiming that the drivers were exceeding the speed limit. Most of the drivers were charged with reckless driving and exceeding the speed limit. It is said that these county officers collected considerable money from strangers by this means.

It is claimed that brother Elks always responded when a distress call came in. --- BOOTLEGGERS HOLD "CHURCH PICNIC"; RAIDED BY DRYS. Waldorf, Md., Aug. 30.—A group of professional bootleggers have been holding a picnic here for several weeks under the auspices of some church organization alleged to be from Washington.

They also found a large amount of whisky burried by the promoters of the "Church Picnic." The promoters arrested were: Charles Daley, of Hyattsville, Md., and William White of Washington. The officers confiscated the liquors and ordered the picnic grounds closed and also lodged the promoters in fall. HARRY WILLS STOPS "BUDDY" trouble has been narrowly averted on several occasions since installation of JACKSON IN SECOND. GEORGE GAP New Orleans Fighter Outclasses His Brooklyn Rival in Newark, Harry Wills, leading contender for Jack Dempsey's crown, last night knocked out Buddy Jackson of Brooklyn in the second round of what was to have been a twelve round bout in the Broad Athletic Club in Newark. Wills battered his colored opponent from post to pilar. The contest had gone just one minute and ten seconds in the final session when Wills worked the Brooklyn when Wills worked the Brooklyn it into his own corner and sent a hard left to the jaw, followed by a right, to the same place. Jackson sank to the canvas and after being counted out had to be carried to his corner by his seconds and the referee. It was fully ten minutes after the knockout punches had been delivered that Jack son came to. Wills outclassed his man from the start and had Buddy in a weakened condition from body punishment soon after the opening gong.

(Preston News Service) Birmingham, Ala., Aug. 31. "Negroes and white people should be entirely separate on Birmingham street cars, not even be permitted to boardrollers or alight from them from the same entrance or exit," declared Wm. L. Harrison, commissioner of Public Utilities. He told officials of the local street railways company, "The use of the new pay-as-you-enter cars, which require all passengers to enter by the rear door is both dangerous and unde-sirable, because of the contact between the races. While your seating arrangement provides separate compartments for the races, white passengers are required to enter by the rear door with Negro passengers. "I have already heard that race trouble has been narrowly averted on several occasions since installation of this new type of car. On the old style car white passengers entered by and alighted from the rear door; while No gro passengers used the front door, occupying forward part of the trolley for seats. "I am unalterably opposed to the use of this new type of car under pres ent arrangements, and therefore, recom mend that provision be made for sepa ate entrance and exit for the races." MURDERED MAN IS FOUND ON RAILROAD TRACKS. (Preston News Service) Camden, Ark., Aug. 30.—George Green was found dead along the Cotton Belt tracks near Finn last Saturday afternoon, and Lloyd and Benny Torrance are under arrest charged with having murdered him. The coroner's vordict is that Green met his death by being struck on the hea, with a sharp instrument, presumably an ax. The body was found lying across the railroad tracks, where it had apparently been placed in the hope that the train would mitigate the body in such manner as to remove evidence of murder, officials believe. An ax with blood stains on the bit was found under a bed in the Torrance home by the officers and it is alleged that Torrance had made threats against the dead man. WIDOW OF LYNCHED MAN SUES COUNTY FOR $2,000. (Preston News Service) McCormick, S. C., Aug. 31.—Mrs. Janie Belle Quaries, widow of Herbert Quaries, who was lynched last June following an alleged attack upon a white woman by him in McCormick county has brought out again t McCormick county ct $2,000. TEXAS BAPTISTS PLAN EDUCATIONAL DRIVE. (Preston News Service.) Houston, Texas, Aug. 31.—A drive to raise $2,000 for missionary and educational purposes is the slogan of the General Bowden Baptist association of Texas, which met at Mt. Cointh Baptist Church here last week. More than 250 delegates from the district attended the convention. The object of the convention is to woo missionary and educational work. One of the features of the convention was the chorus of 50 voices under the direction of Prof. L. L. Prader. The meetings were presided over by Revs. M. A. Robinson and W. T. Bowden. --- GEORGE E. WEBICAN FLAYS GARVEY MOVEMENT (Preston News Service.) Newark, N. J., Aug. 30.—In his address before the Elks' convention Past Grand Exalted Ruler, George E. Webclan, of Brooklyn, N. Y., said in part: "The future of the Negro in America lies in the linking of his desum, with that of the white race and yet at the same time preserving his racial characteristics. I have just completed a tour of this country, observing conditions everywhere. "The Negro is only half free—politically and economically. It is not all his fault. But in one sense it is and in another sense it is not. The Negro is politically free in the North, but he exerts but little political influence and has no political representation for his numbers. Despite his over whelming vote in certain localities, he is represented by whites in almost every important political body. "The remedy for political conditions among the Negroes in the South rests largely with the Negroes of the North. Northern colored voters should exercise their united influence to decrease 'slave conditions' south of the Mason and Dixon line. "Here are four recommendations which I believe will enable Negroes to obtain and maintain political and economic equality: First:—To have the whites understand that the destinies of the two peoples are linked in America. Second:—To stand like a roc against lawlessness; Third—To think independently in politics. Fourth—To understand the power of the Negro numbers. "Amplifying the first of these, I wish right here to have it understood that I deprecate the idea of Africa for Africans' as advanced by Marcus Garvey, the self-styled, self-elected provisional president of Africa, who is the object of considerable opposition at present in New York City from members of his own race. His name ought to be Gravey. Marcus Gravey would just about cover him adequately. Africa is the center of white exploitation. Africa was probably the indirect cause of the great World War. And the American Negro is so far from Africa that he would be no more at home there than the white man. "I am unalterably opposed to the Garveyizing of America. Garvey appeals to the sentiment of motherland among the Negroes without remembering that America is by now the motherland of the American Negro. And Garvey himself comes from Jamaica."

URGES HARDING RECOMMEND CONSIDERATION OF DYER BILL WHEN BONUS IS VOTED ON. Urging upon President Harding that he recommend to the leaders of the Senate that the Anti-Lynching Bill be taken up for debate and vote as soon as the Bonus Bill is out of the way, James Weldon Johnson, of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, today wired the President such action is imperative and especially in view of the declaration on lawlessness made to the Congress by President Harding in his message of August 18 on the rail strike. In that message, the President urged Federal legislation to protect aliens from mob violence. Mr. Johnson in his telegram pointed out that while it is necessary to protect the lives of aliens, he asked if it was not equally important that the lives of American citizens be protected as those of aliens. The telegram was sent in view of the report from Washington that a conference is to be held this week he bween the President and the leaders of both houses of Congress to settle upon the legislative program for the remainder of this session of Congress. Mr. Johnson's telegram read: We have been advised that there is to be held this week a conference between the leaders of the Senate and the President to agree upon the legislative program for the remainder of this session. With the Tariff Bill out of the way and an early vote expected on the Bonus measure the National Association of Colored People with four hundred and twenty-three branches and one hundred thousand members respectfully urges that you use your power and influence towards securing consideration of the Dyer Anti Lynchning Bill immediately after consideration of the Bonus Bill. The favorably reported by the Senate Judiciary Committee on July 28. Mob violence and the lynching of American citizens is continuing and urgent public sentiment demands the immediate passage of legislation which will give the Federal Government authority to end mob outrages as pointed out by you in your address to the Congress on August 18. It is necessary to protect the lives of aliens through Fedar al authority but is it not equally important to say the least that the lives of American citizens be protected from mobs as well.
