Brown introduced President John Mitchell Jr. who gave an account of the situation and told just what had been done towards the re-opening of the band. He urged every one to send in their pass-books to the receivers, and thereby endeavor to comply with their requirements.

"THIS IS OUR COUNTRY JUST AS MUCH AS IT IS THE WHITE MAN'S COUNTRY." Dr. Robert W. Bagnall, Director of Branches of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Speaks to Richmond Audiences. On last Tuesday evening, Dr. Robp. W. Bagnall, Director of Branches of the N. A. A. C. P., delivered an excellent address, at Ebonezer Baptist Church followed by one equally so on Wednesday evening at Mt. Olivet Baptist church of which Rev. J. Andrew Bowler, D. D., is pastor. Among other timely remarks, Dr. Bagnall stressed the fact that this is our country, just as truly as it is the white man's, by right of birth, sacrifice, labor and blood-shed. He has figured in every war of this country, save that with Mexico, from the Revo lution to the World War. He quoted specific instances of in justice and lynchings, which have been perpetrated not only in the south land but in Massachusetts which boasts of its culture and democracy, and in the West, where one "breathes free air." Further on, Dr. Bagnall stated that the N. A. A. C. P. is not radical. It is merely admiring to obtain justice and to anelaborate conditions as they now exist. It does this by maping out a wise program, which it seeks to carry out by employing efficient, self-sacrificing individuals. It keeps an accurate account of all expenditures, has its books audited by persons not connected with the organization, and leaves these books open for public inspection. It was stated that the N. A. A. C. P. accomplished more with less expenditure last year, than any other charitable organization, white or black. The Dyer Anti-Lynching bill has been successful thus far because of the untiring, diplomatic work of the Association's Executive Secretary, James Weldon Johnson who is atil working on its passage. Further speaking of the accomplishments of the Association, Dr. Bagnall said that the Williams Pelonage Case, in Jasper Count, Georgia, was unearthed through the work of this organization when investigating another case. The value of organization was also brought out. In spite of the fact that there are not more Jews in the world than there are Negroes in the United States, they are a much greater power because of their organization. In order for the individual's work to be effective, it must be organized. Thus the work of the N. A. A. C. P. will continue to grow in power and scope, in proportion to the Negro's realization of the worth of organization. It might be interesting to note that Dr. Bargall is a Virginian, being born in Norfolk. BELL BOY KILLED IN ELEVATOR ACCIDENT. (Breston News Service) (Preston News Service.)

RELATIVES ATTEMPTING TO RECONCILE MAN AND WIFE, ARE KILLED. (Preston News Service.) Richmond, Va., Sept. 21.—When William Brown accompanied his daughter, Mrs. William Clayton and his sister, Mrs. Malinda Carter to the home of his son-in-law, William Clayton in an attempt to reconcile Clayton and his wife, who had separated, they were met by Clayton who had a double barrel shotgun. When Mr. Brown knocked at Clayton's door he was invited to enter, as brown opened the door Clayton is said to have fired the contents of one barrel into his stomach, killing him instantly.

RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1922 BOMB FOUND IN COAL IN COLORED FACTORY Considerable excitement was caused Saturday in the manufacturing district of New York by the finding of a bomb in the coal delivered to the manufacturing plant of the Pace Phonograph Corporation, makers of Black Swan Records, at Meadow and Creek Streets, Long Island City. The bomb was of the shrapnel type heavily loaded and capped and capable of blowing up the entire plant. The fireman, discovered the bomb after it was in his shovel and just as he was about to plunge it into the furnace. A moment later and there would have been an explosion that would have wrecked the boilers and damaged the plant, probably killing or injuring the twenty-five employees working there. In vestigation was made by the bomb squads of the Police Department and the Fire Department. Just where the bomb came from could not be ascertained as the Pace Company uses nearly thirty tons of coal per month and deliveries from two coal companies are being made almost daily, and each had just delivered several tons of coal. It is presumed that the bomb was put into the coal by someone connected with the coal miners strike. The officials of the Company were alarmed at first lest it were the work of com petitors, who were seeking to destroy their business in Black Swan Records the sale of which has so seriously interfered with other phonograph records made by the white companies. The Daily News carried a picture of the bomb which was of an unusually large size. 142ND ANNUAL SESSION OF THE GRAND FOUNTAIN A SUCCESS. $312,512.75 Paid in Death Claims on the Order Since October 1910. The 42nd Annual Session of the Grand Fountain U. O. T. R., was held in Richmond, Va., on September 12th, 13th, and 14th, 1922. A large delegation was in attendance, and Grand Master, Woodson presided. Much constructive legislation was enacted for the good of the Order. The amount of business done by the Order from September 1st, 1921, through August 31st, 1922 was $25,213.25 The Oder's old and past due death claims has been reduced from $163,000 in October 1910 to $60,364.06 through August 31st, 1922. From October 1910, through August 31st, 1922 the Order has paid in death claims $312 512.75. A unique feature of the Order's achievements is the manner in which it is raising funds for its Emergency Fund which is used primarily for the payment of its old and past due death claims. This fund is raised by each member of the Broth erhood adding two new members "a year to the Order for three years or by securing the revival for the old policy of one ex-member a year for three years. New Members are received in to the Order for $2.50 and ex-members can revive their old policies for $6.24 up to 55 years of age and $6.40 from 55 to 60 years of age.

JOSEPH KELLER FREED OF MURDER CHARGE After more than a year of seeking information and investigating the murder of a Mrs. Weber whose body was found in Maryland, Joseph Keller a colored man, charged with the commission of the crime was on Friday, September 5th, 1922 released from the custody of the Maryland authorities, the evidence thus far found not warranting his detention longer. Credit is due to the Prince George County Branch of the N. A. A. C. P., as well as to the cooperation of the District of Columbia Branch, for the favorable outcome of this celebrated case. From the time of the arrest the Prince George County Branch uses every means to keep in touch with the case as it progressed, while the Washington Branch during his incarceration in the District of Columbia, observed closely the third degree process as it was used to force a confession from Keller and instituted steps, when extradition proceedings were begun to have him released. When this failure, and he was carried to Upper Marlboro, Md., the District of Columbia Branch advised by the Prince George County Branch, was instrumental in intercepting the State's Attorney, Mr. Kline. From information furnished by the Chairman of the Legal Committee, Mr. James A. Cobb, Mr. Kline took up the matter. On invitation of the State's Attorney, Mr. Cobb appeared at the first hearing in May, reviewed the evidence with the State's Attorney's office and was called in consultation when final reports were made by Maryland detectives and was successful in convincing them that evidence was lacking to further hold Keller. In the last contest with Justice of Peace, J. A. Joyce and the State's Attorney, Mr. Cobb was advised of the discharge of the prisoner and was asked to give assurance that when Keller was discharged he would not become a charge upon the State. Mr. Cobb assented to the proposition. Funds were furnished by the District of Columbia Branch for the transportation of Keller to his home in Summerville, S. C. Accompanied by Mr. Shelby J. Davidson, Executive Secretary of the District of Columbia Branch and Mr. J. A. G. Lu Valle of the Washington Tribune. Mr. Cobb appeared at the Court House located at Mt. Runler, Md., and after formalities attending the release, received Keller in the name of the N. A. A. C. P. At the adjournment of Court, accompanied by the Sheriff and his deputy on either side of the car, Keller was brought into the District of Columbia and sent home the following morning with his brother who had been summoned for the purpose. RECEPTION Monday evening, September 18th, from 7:30 to 9:30 the home of Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Burke was the scene of an enjoyable reception given in honor of their niece, Miss Martha E.

VIOLENCE GREATEST IN CIVILIZATION, SAYS LAWYER (Preston News Service) Chattanooga, Tennessee, Sept. 19.—Speaking before the Rotary Club here Friday afternoon Attorney William B. Swaney, chairman of the American Bar Association's committee on Law Enforcement, declared, "The criminal situation in the United States so far as violence is concerned is worse than in any other civilized country. "The remedy for this appalling condition is to be found in the return to decent living under self-control and re spect for the laws of the land." During the course of his speech he cited acts attributed to the "Ladies of the Invisible Eyes" in Texas and the crimes of mob violence in Birmingham in speaking of violation of law. "Americans hold the life of man too cheaply. Upon the slightest provocation can feel they are impelled to take the law into their own hands. This sort of conduct is contrary to the fundamental principles of government and this wheelsale disrespect for law and order presages the downfall of any government." The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People today gave out the following telegram received from Mr. B. F. Bowles of Jefferson City, Missouri: "State Republican Convention endorses Dyer Bill and asks its immediate enactment." In its campaign to have each Republican State Convention endorse the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill and urge upon Congress its prompt enactment, the National office of the Advancement Association wrote to Mr. Bowles Mr. Bowles at once took active steps which resulted in the endorsement of the Bill by the Missouri State Republican Convention. Up to the present time the following state conventions have taken similar action: Indiana, Colorado, West Virginia and Ohio. The Association is still endcavoring to have other states act. Mr. Bowles is a member of the Missouri Constitutional convention. EIGHTEEN BASEBALL FANS ARE DIGOWNED. (President News Service.)

To the Baptist Churches Thru-out the To the Baptist Churches Thru-out the Country: Dear Brethren,—At a meeting of the Executive Board held in Helena, Arkansas, Tuesday, September 12th it was decided to hold the 42nd Annual Session of the National Baptist Convention in St. Louis, Missouri December 6-11, 1922. This action is based on the importance of holding a meeting this year and the distance of travel, the rates and hazardous times for a trip to be made to California. St. Louis being more centrally located the Committee is of the opinion that a better delegation can be had at this season o the year. By order of the Board, W. G. PARKS, Pres. R. B. HUDSON, Sec. A WORD FROM BALTIMORE. Commondary Statement to the Plaintiff and Editor. I am a constant reader of the Planet have been for years. I enjoy it and I am interested in it; I take pleasure in possessing each copy weekly. Well folks I in my many readings and observings of the Planet and Editor, one of the most daring and vigorous Negro editors, John Mitchell, Jr. The very fact that he is a Negro and lives in Jichmouth does not prevent him from being very courageous, almost to a fault. He surely has been regarded as a natural born artist. Much of his work has been highly com-mended by Hon. Frederick Doughas, Senators Mahone and John A. Logan. His strong point as an editor is to battle against the outrages perpetrated upon his people in the Sduth. But folks, the world is funny. It is rather cold and indifferent. It seems to sit tily by and let people perish or thrive without the least comment. It doesn't care. It lets destiny do what it pleases. Success then, is simply a case of the survival of the fittest. But maybe all this is as it should be. It makes us all fight for what we get, this. Mr. Mitchell has done and is still onward in movement for the pinnacle of success. Fight for what we get, it brings out the biggest and best that's in us. We will admit, that only live fish swim up stream. When you act quicker, or think deeper, or work harder, or try more persistently than your follows—you succeed in bigger measures. Other wise you sink, you fall. Is this editor, who has the reputation of being the gameset Afro-American editor upon the continent swimming up-stream, well I'll say he is. In view of the fact that Hon. Oliver J. Sands, President of the American National Bank has consented to offer plans in the movement of re-opening the Mechanics Bank of which Mr. Mitchell is president, let us honor Mr. Mitchell, if only a few. May his life he spared to continue the great work he has set for himself. May his personal bravery and courage be an incentive to others. As he enjoys the confidence, esteem and support of his fellow citizens which speaks openly for the Planet undisturbed resolutions. —CHARLES A. SMITH, 934 E. Madison St., Baltimore, Ml.

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People announced today through its Secretary, James Weldon Johnson, the receipt of a letter from Mr. Golay, General Secretary of the International Bureau of Peace with headquarters at Beuze, Switzerland, stating that that organization at its Twenty-second Congress held in London, July 25-29, adopted the following resolutions: "The International Bureau of Peace is asked to put on the Agenda of the next International Peace Congress the question of the relations of the white and colored races." Mr. Golay in his letter further states that the Bureau was directed to communicate this resolution to the governments of the world, to the dee- gates to the Assembly of the League of Nations, and to all institutions interested in the question. The letter concludes with a request of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to provide the Bureau with documents and information that will enable it to obtain adequate information regarding the question to be discussed.

The force of the explosion struck the foot of the bed and burned both painfully and imbedded bits of plaster in their flesh. Both were hurled from their bed by the bast and furniture in the room was overturned. The police of Braddock, it is said, are of the opinion that the explosion is due to labor troubles. DR.

The Fifth St. Baptist church was crowded last Monday night with the depositors of the Mechanics Savings Bank. Many were unable to secure admission. The Fifth Street Baptist church choir under the leadership of Leander Joseph Matthews was at its best. After prayer by Rev. Jacob Turner, the chairman, Rev. W. E. Brown introduced President John Mitchell Jr., who gave an account of the situation and told just what had been done towards the re-opening of the bank. He urged every one to send in their pass-books to the receivers, and thereby endeavor to comply with their requirements. At this stage, this would give all an opportunity to present their claims and would assure the officers of the court that every thing had been done to do as they had been asked to do. COMMITTEE MAKES REPORT A committee on resolutions was appointed by the chairman and retinue. In addition to a detailed statement on the plan for re-opening the bank, which plan was to be concurred in by the depositors, the following resolutions were embodied in the report: We reiterate our confidence in the honesty and integrity of John Mitchell Jr., President of the Mechanics Savings Bank and the members of the Board of Directors associated with him and pledge to them our united and undivided support in their efforts to rehabilitate the Bank and to place it again upon the high plane, which it once occupied. URGE PASS-BOOK DELIVERY We recommend and urge all depositors to carry their passbooks to the Receivers of the Mechanics Savings Bank, taking a receipt therefor, in order to facilitate the early reopening of that institution. On motion of Rev. J. W. Pryor, seconded by John F. Brown, the report of the committee was unanimously adopted. The conditional agreement on the part of the depositors was signed and sent up to the secretary's table. The utmost harmony prevailed. Mr. Frank Hallion served as secretary.

Bagnall, Director of Branches of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Speaks to Richmond Audiences. On last Tuesday evening, Dr. Robp. W. Bagnall, Director of Branches of the N. A. A. C. P., delivered an excellent address, at Ebenezer Baptist Church followed by one equally so on Wednesday evening at Mt. Olivet Baptist church of which Rev. J. Andrew Bowler, D. D. is pastor. Among other timely remarks, Dr. Bagnall stressed the fact that this is our country, just as truly as it is the white man's, by right of birth, sacrifice, labor and blood-shed. He has figured in every war of this country, save that with Mexico, from the Revo lution to the World War. He quoted specific instances of in justice and lynchings, which have been perpetrated not only in the south land but in Massachusetts which boasts of its culture and democracy, and in the West, where one "breathes free air." Further on, Dr. Bagnall stated that the N. A. A. C. P. is not radical. It is merely aiming to obtain justice and to ameliorate conditions as they now exist. It does this by maping out a wise program, which it seeks to carry out by employing efficient, self-sacrificing individuals. It keeps an accurate account of all expenditures, has its books audited by persons not connected with the organtization, and leaves these books open for public inspection. It was stated that the N. A. A. C. P. accomplished more with less expenditure last year, than any other charitable organization, white or black. The Dyer Anti-Lynching bill has been successful thus far because of the utiring, diplomatic work of the Association's Executive Secretary, James Weldon Johnson who is still working on its passage. Further speaking of the accomplishments of the Association, Dr. Bagnall said that the Williams Pelonage Case, in Jasper Count, Georgia, was unearthed through the work of this organization when investigating another case. The value of organization was also brought out. In spite of the fact that there are not more Jews in the world than there are Negroes in the United States, they are a much greater power because of their organization. In order for the individual's work to be effective, it must be organized. Thus the work of the N. A. A. C. P. will continue to grow in power and scope, in proportion to the Negro's realization of the worth of organization. It might be interesting to note that Dr. Bagnall is a Virginian, being born in Norfolk. BELL BOY KILLED IN ELEVATOR ACCIDENT. (Preston News Service) (Presston News Service.)

RELATIVES ATTEMPTING TO RECONCILE MAN AND WIFE, ARE KILLED.

RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1922 BOMB FOUND IN COAL IN COLORED FACTORY BOMB FOUND IN COAL IN COLORED FACTORY Considerable excitement was caused Saturday in the manufacturing district of New York by the finding of a bomb in the coal delivered to the manufacturing plant of the Peace Photograph Corporation, makers of Black Swan Records, at Meadow and Creek Streets, Long Island City. The bomb was of the shrapnel, type heavily loaded and capped and capable of blowing up the entire plant. The fireman, covered the bomb after it was in his shovel and just as he was about to plunge it into the furnace. A moment later and there would have been an explosion that would have wrecked the boilers and damaged the plant, probably killing or injuring the twenty-five employees working there. In vestigation was made by the bomb squads of the Police Department and the Fire Department. Just where the bomb came from could not be ascertained as the Peace Company uses nearly thirty tons of coal per month and deliveries from two coal companies are being made almost daily, and cceb had just delivered several tons of coal. It is presumed that the bomb was put into the coal by someone connected with the coal miners strike. The officials of the Company were alarmed at first lest it were the work of coal petitions, who were seeking to destroy their business in Black Swan Records the sale of which has so seriously interfered with other phonograph records made by the white companies. The Daily News carried a picture of the bomb which was of an unusually large size. 142ND ANNUAL SESSION OF THE GRAND FOUNTAIN A SUCCESS. $312,512.75 Paid in Death Claims on the Order Since October 1910. The 42nd Annual Session of the Grand Fountain U. O. T. R., was held in Jichmond, Va., on September 12th, 13th, and 14th, 1922. A large delegation was in attendance, and Grand Master, Woodson presided. Much constructive legislation was enacted for the good of the Order. The amount of business done by the Order from September 1st, 1921, through August 31st, 1922 was $25,213.25 The Oder's old and past due death claims has been reduced from $163,000 in October 1910 to $60,364.06 through August 31st, 1922. From October 1910, through August 31st, 1922 the Order has paid in deata claims $312 512.75. A unique feature of the Order's achievements is the manner in which it is raising funds for its Emergency Fund which is used primarily for the payment of its old and past due death claims.

JOSEPH KELLER FREED OF MURDER CHARGE After more than a year of seeking information and investigating the murder of a Mrs. Weber whose body was found in Maryland, Joseph Kehler a colored man, charged with the commission of the crime, was on Friday, September 6th, 1922 released from the custody of the Maryland authorities, the evidence thus far found not warranting his detention longer. Credit is due to the Prince George, County Branch of the N. A. A. C. P., as well as to the cooperation of the District of Columbia Branch, for the favorable outcome of this celebrated case. From the time of the arrest the Prince George County Branch uses every means to keep in touch with the case as it progressed, while the Washington Branch during his incarceration in the District of Columbia, observed closely the third degree process as it was used to force a confession iron, Keller and instituted steps, when extradition proceedings were begun to have him released. When this failte, and he was carried to Upper Marlboro, Md., the District of Columbia Branch advised by the Prince George County Branch, was instrumental in interacting the State's Attorney, Mr. Kline. From information furnished by the Chairman of the Legal Committee, Mr. James A. Cobb, Mr. Kline took up the matter. On invitation of the State's Attorney, Mr. Cobb appeared at the first hearing in May, reviewed the evidence with the State's Attorney's office and was called in consultation when final reports were made by Maryland detectives and was successful in convincing them that evidence was lacking to further hold Keller. In the last conference with Justice of Peace, J. A. Joyce and the State's Attorney, Mr. Cobb was advised of the discharge of the prisoner and was asked to give assurance that when Keller was discharged he would not become a charge upon the State. Mr. Cobb assented to the proposition. Funds were furnished by the District of Columbia Branch for the transportation of Keller to his home in Summerville, S. C. Accompanied by Mr. Shelby J. Davidson, Executive Secretary of the District of Columbia Branch and Mr. J. A. G. La Valle of the Washington Tribune. Mr. Cobb appeared at the Court House located at Mt. Runier, Md., and after formations attending the release, received Keller in the name of the N. A. A. C. P. At the adjournment of Court, accompanied by the Sheriff and his deputy on either side of the car. Keller was brought into the District of Columbia and sent home the following morning with his brother who had been summoned for the purpose. RECEPTION.

SAYS LAWYER (Preston News Service) Chattanooga, Tenn., Sept. 19.—Speaking before the Rotary Club here Friday afternoon Attorney William B. Swaney, chairman of the American Bar Association's committee on Law Enforcement, declared, "The criminal situation in the United States so far as violence is concerned is worse than in any other civilized country. "The remedy for this appalling condition is to be found in the return to decent living under self-control and repect for the laws of the land." During the course of his speech he cited acts attributed to the "Ladies of the Invisible Eyes" in Texas and the crimes of mob violence in Birmingham in speaking of violation of law. "Americans hold the life of man too cheaply. Upon the slightest provocation can feel they are impelled to take the law into their own hands. This sort of conduct is contrary to the fundamental principles of government and this wheelsale disrespect for law and order presages the downfall of any government."

JACK DEMPSEY PROVES TO BE THE MOST ELUSIVE STALLER OF THE AGE IN THE REALM OF SPORTDOM TWO (Preston News Service.) (Preston News Service, New York City, Sept. 22.—It is amazing with the authority with which Jack Dempsey continues his game or stalling in order to dodge meeting worthy opponents. The public is rapidly growing tired of this sort of conduct on the part of the title holder and sport writers in all quarters of the country and beginning to say so. Indicative of the general concensus of opinion among the fair minded writers in the large white dailies through out the country Harry J. Boyle, sporting editor of the Pittsburgh Chronicle Telegraph has the following to say under the caption of "Dempsey's Main Rivals are Misko and Walls": "Prospective opponents for Dempsey are Wills, Misko, Greb, Carpenter, Firpo, Brennan, Williard, Jack Johnson and Bockett, and according to Free Keats, the eastern sharp, they rank in something like that order. The man Dempsey shows the least desire to meet is Wills, who ranks first. The man Dempsey has expended the most energy is chasing after it is Brennan, who ranks down near the bottom of the decidedly weak list. Jess Willard another helpless contender, also comes in for a great deal of attention from the champion as does Firpo, a novice, and Beckett, worse than a novice. As a matter of fact, Dempsey figures to beat them all, including Wills, but it rather strange that he has so little to say about the men the public would have him meet, and is so anxious to tackle those who could not force him to get up a good sweat. It is true that Dempsey had been forced to talk of a Wills match a great deal of late, but he has match one erga chalin shdrn cfmwf never shown any real pleasure in the prospect, even though the right is like ly to net him a half million. For months he tried his hardest to discount age talk of that match. He threw every possible obstacle in the way, at the same time doing his best to appear willing. As a last resort he demanded a guaranty of $500,000 and the money posted in advance. Dempsey should beat Wills because the champion is a much better boxer, is a shorter, faster and more accurate hitter and can stand up under more punishment. All Wills has shown a great strength and a wild wallop. He is never sure of hitting anything until he gets hold with one hand so that his victim cannot move out of the way. As Wills is best of the Negroes, so Miske is best of the whites. It would not be fair to roast Dempsey for passing up a man he knocked out so easily the last time they met. On the face of things Dempsey deserves credit for leaving the man frdm St. Paul alone. Yet it is a well-known fact that Miske is the best of the white contenders. It also is a fact that he twice went the full distance with Dempsey and that he was a sick man at the time Dempsey knocked him out. Today Miske is a far better fighter than he was when he stood Dempsey off in a 10 and a six round bout." Yet Dempsey has announced that he is going to Europe to find action. Why does he run away from American shores where he can get all the action he wants. Some are so bold as to say that Dempsey knows what he would be taking to great a chance at loosening the title if he went into the ring with either Wills or Miske and therefore he does not desire any real American notion, especially with Wills or Miske. Dempsey and his wily manager, Jack Kearns are after the money—Public he damned—and they are about cock-sure that either Wills or Miske might land a few wallops and put them out of the money. So they continue to hunt for set-ups in order to garner in the shekels. The American public is growing tired of this clap-trap and dodging tactics of the money-hounds and will eventually force the champion to come out in the open and fight some worthy opponent. NEW PARTY NOMINATIONS FOR 1922. The announcement given out today by the Campaign Committee of the Committee of 48 from its National Headquarters, 15 East 40th street, New York City, that New Party Senatorial Congressional and State tickets have already been nominated in a number of the western states as a pre liminary to the 1924 Presidential election, has caused considerable consternation in Republican and Democratic circles. The frank admissions which have recently appeared in the "Saturday Evening Post," "The Nation," and many of our metropolitan dailies to the effect that the voters are ready and eager to rally to the support of the New Party movement and that the old parties must go, have added to their discomfiture. These new tickets, have, moreover been unanimously endorsed by the Non-Partisan League and the local labor organizations. In Idaho the New Progressive Party ticket is headed by Henry F. Samueli for Governor and W. W. Deal and Dow Dunning for Congress. In this state the republican machine which is thoroughly antagonistic to Senator Borah, recently succeeded in repealing the primary law and reestablishing the convention system. It is frankly admitted that under these circumstances Senator Borah cannot expect to receive a re-nomination, and this question will be the crucial issue in Idaho this year. The Progressive Party stands squarely for re-establishing the Primary; the Republican Party is unalterably opposed to so doing. In Nebraska the New Progressive Party in consultation with the Nonpartisan League and Labor organizations tions have agreed upon a very strong slate. Their ticket is headed by R. B. Howell, (the progressive Republican, who recently won the Republican nomination) for U. S. Senator; Charles P. Bryan (the victorious candidate for Governor in the Democratic Primaries) for Governor; and T. J. Eibsury (who won the Progressive Party Primary nomination) for Lieut. Governor. It is expected that this ticket who sweep the sate that Mr. Howell will undoubtedly replace the present incumbant Senator Hitchcock. In South Dakota, the Liberal Party has joined forces with the Non-partisan Party who already have a place on the ballot and have nominated a full ticket headed by Alice Lorrato Daly for Governor and G. L. Hasvold, A. F. Lockhart, and George H. Smith for Congress. This ticket has also been endorsed by the Farmer Labor Protective Association. In North Dakota the Liberal Party has linked up with the Non-partisan League and an entire new ticket has been nominated, headed by Lynn J. Frazier has just defeated the present incumbent Senator McCumber in the Republican Primary and consequently will run under the republican emblem also. In Wisconsin the Liberal Party has for some time been cooperating with the Progressive Association and will throw their entire support behind the ticket recently nominated, headed by Senator Robert M. LaFollette, Governor John J. Blaine, and Lieut. Governor George F. Comings. The complete list of the candidates in these five states has been sent out broadcast accompanied by a letter addressed "To Those Interested in Good Government," which says: "These candidates are, without exception, of irreproachable character, and stand an excellent chance of election. The Committee of 48 has appointed a Campaign Committee to raise the necessary funds to insure their success and to finance a staff of speakers to tour these states. The necessity of electing to office men and women of the calibre represented by these nominees will be a parent to you. They are opposed by the reactionary interests who seem to have unlimited money at their disposal. Nevertheless, a reasonable amount of outside financial support legitimate expended and judiciously applied with which to supplement the local contributions in these particular states will insure their election. Under these circumstances I have no hesitation in urging you to contribute towards this purpose as liberally as possible. Money is being raised not only in the states above mentioned but all through the East, to insure the election of these candidates, and a staff of speakers have been organized who will tour these states during the last weeks of the campaign.

ARREST THREE FOLLOWING POISON PLOT. Pittsburgh Pa., Sept. 21—John Nophrin, aged 41 years of Baltimore, Md., a porter employed by the Pennsylvania railroad company, is in the Allegheny General hospital, authorities say from arsenic poisoning and three other men, employees of the company were arrested following the uncovering of an alleged poison ploic early Thursday morning. The men arrested are: Sandy Wilson, aged 30 years, chef in the Railroad Commissary department; Robert Suggs aged 31 years of Kentucky and Walter Williams aged 23 years of Pittsburgh writer; at the commissary, Pittsburgh, awitters at the commissary. The authorities arrested Wilson, Suggs and Williams after they sent Nophrin to the hospital. Physicians at tending Nophrin at the hospital said they suspected arsenic poisoning, but they could not be certain until a further diagnosis can be made. He is reported resting easier. According to the chief of detectives Wilson, in the presence of Suggs and Williams made a threat last Tuesday night to poison Nophrin. Nophrin is reported to have eaten at the commissary on Wednesday night. Shortly afterwards he became violently ill, and when the detectives were called to investigate he is said to have told them of the alleged threat to poison him. The arrests followed. Wilson, Suggs and Williams were questioned at length following their arrest. Aside from denying the accusation that they conspired to poison Nophrin none of the three men would make a statement, the detectives said. Following a hearing before Magistrate Sullivan in Central Police Court on Friday morning, Suggs and Williams were discharged, when it was shown that they had no connection with the alleged poisoning of Nophrin Wilson was remanded to jail without bail to await the result of Nophrin's illness.

Senator Borah's bill (Senate No. 3865) providing for a Fact-Finding Commission in the coal industry pass of the Senate on September 8th and has gone to conference committee preparatory to "s introduction into the house. The history of this bill furnishes an interesting chapter in our legislative processes. In April immediately after the strike was called The Committee of 48 instituted a personal investigation of the coal industry, as a result of which a complete report with constructive legislative recommendations was prepared and sent out through the press. On June 6th, up to which time the Administration had made no effort to solve this problem. The Committee of 48 addressed a letter to President Harding enclosing this report and urging him to recommend the necessary legislative action. On July 25th the Borah Bill, which was prepared by The Committee of 48 was introduced by Senator Borah and referred to the Committee on Education and Labor. This Committee refused to report it, and the Administration refused to urge its passage. But with the cooperation and help of various newspaper editors, to whom considerable thanks are due, The Committee of 48 instituted a publicity drive which finally forced the bill out of committee, and it was favorably reported on August 23rd. Certain elements in the Senate, spurred on by the coal operators, did their best to block the bill, but when it came to a vote on September 8th no one could be found who wished to vote publicly against it, and the bill was passed by acclamation without a record vote. The Bill has been justly designated as one of the most important progressive measures ever placed upon our Statute books. As soon as the bill is passed by the House it will be necessary for the President to appoint the five Commissioners. It is essential that the men who are named for these positions are above reproach and are fully competent and capable of performing the duties entrusted to them. It is to be hoped that no one will hostile to recommend to the President men and women, who answer these qualifications. It will be a great help to President Harding if he has such a a list of names from which to choose, and The Committee of 48 urges every one who cares to make any suggestions in regard to these appointments to either communicate with the committee, at 15 East 40th street, New York City, or to send their suggestions direct to President Harding.

Of course, this applies outside of the maternal and paternal lines. The love of a mother surpasses all human understanding. The Liberian Government wants the five million dollar loan, but Congress seems rather slow about granting it, even though it has been recommended by the President of the United States. The Allies have agreed to hold a conference within three weeks on the Turkish situation. The question at issue is whether or not Turkey has the right to move troops within the boundary limits of its own country and to invade Greek territory, when it is at war with Greece. The House of Representatives by a vote of 258 to 54, on last Wednesday voted to over-ride President Harding's veto of the Soldiers' Bonus Bill, while the United States Senate by a vote of 44 to over-ride the veto of 28 to sustain it defeated the motion to override the veto. Both bodies had a majority in favor of the measure, but it required a two-third vote in the Senate and the vote showed that the motion was just four votes shy of that number. This ends one of the most persistent and expensive attempts ever made in favor of specific legislation. THE BONUS BILL VETO. PresidentWarren G. Hardling saw fit, from a sense of public duty to veto the Bonus Bill as framed and passed by the House of Representatives and the United States Senate. He announces that he is in favor of the principle but opposed to the financing methods adopted by those, who engineered the measure. He was frank enough to give the advocates of the bill due notice of his intentions. There is but one conclusion to draw and that is that the American Legion promoters were logically sure that enough votes could not be obtained at this session to pass the measure, if a sales tax, which would carry heavy direct burdens upon the people had been included in its provisions. They were apparently "between the devil and the deep blue sea." They preferred to get credit for having the legislation passed by the Congress at this session, even though it met with a presidential veto. After the Fall elections, conditions will be different. The statesmen and the politicians will have heard from the people and they will know exactly what course to pursue in the premises. People want work and they want fair pay for this work. This is the crux of the whole situation and will constitute the issue in the coming campaign. --- THE TURKISH SITUATION. The League of Nations has proven itself to be a huge joke, just as we thought it would be the intestine jealousies in the Old World have made it logically impossible to carry out it: provisions. The whole super-structure seems to have been built upon deception and hypocrisy. The Greeks attacked the Turks in Asia Minor and met with temporary successes, but they overlooked the fact that the war would be a long one and that the cost incident to the same would exhaust the resources of that poverty striken country. But the populace was carried away with conquest the possibility of success without counting the terrible cost of failure. Now that country is about to lose a greater part of its foot-hold in Thrace and it has lost all of its belongings in Asia Minor. The Turks are natural diplomats. Their leaders are thoroughly trained and organized. They lose today but come back again tomorrow. The followers of Mahomet are never disconcerted. They believe in the Koran and they have unbounded faith in the final success of Isman. The Turks have given the Christian nations of THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA the world something to think about and it would be well to study history and realize that in the "rise and Fall of Nations," we are having a duplication of what is happening today. THE "LILY WHITES" NOMINATE The Republican State Convention, in session at Moanoke last Monday, seems to have been dominated by Col. Henry W. Anderson, who delivered the key-note speech. He is an admirable and convincing speaker and he had everything practically his own way. As for the colored members of the Republican Party, they were crowded out. J. Williamson McGavork of Max Mendows, Wythe County was named as candidate for United States Senator to oppose Senator Claude A. Swanson, the veteran Democratic statesman of Virginia. The disaffection among the Democrats is presumed to be of a sufficient magnitude to justify a spirited campaign in this State. Those, who understand political conditions realize that this ticket as nominated will be used fro trading purposes. Disgruntled Democrats will proceed to use it as a scare-crow to force from the present Democratic machine certain concessions and when these concessions are granted, they will return to the fold of the Democratic Party. WHAT SHALL THE COLORED VOTERS DO? The all-important question now presenting itself is "What Shall the Colored Voters Do?" The Republican organization in this State has taken the position that the more of the colored people, who go over to the Democratic nominees, the better it will be for the Republican Party in this commonwealth. For this reason, they are not making any bid whatsoever for the colored vote. They do not care whetn or their candidates are elected or not. They are running for Federal patron age. With this secured, they are well satisfied. As for the colored people themselves they are of the opinion that they are hopelessly divided and that they are not in possession to do any material damage to either Party. It seems to us that the proper thing to do is to build up a Negro organization of sufficient size and importance to meet this condition. We should see to it that our people pay their poll taxes and register and be prepared to vote. We should carry this organization in to all of our various other organizations, in order that we may be in a position to state just how many votes we have on the poll-books. We can then say to this party o. that just what political strength we control. A colored organization with twenty-five thousand or more voters, which voters will act as a unit will attract the attention of any political party and will command respect. We have a good organization at the top. Let us extend this good organization to the bottom, to the end that the colored people of Virginia may take their place among the other political organizations of the commonwealth. SENATE FIGHTS OVER LIBERIAN FIVE MILLION LOAN (Preston News Service.) Washington, D. C., Sept. 19,—A heated fight developed in the Senate last Monday afternoon over the Administration measure proposing a loan of five million dollars to Liberia, a measure which passed the House last May, urged by President Harding and Secretary Hughes. A number of the republicans declared the bill to be an inheritance from the Wilson administration Senator Glass, who was secretary of the Treasury under the Wilson regime during the Liberian loan negotiations, is said to oppose the measure. Senators McCumber and Curtis urged the passage of the bill, claiming that it is a moral obligation. Senator Borah said that the bill simply meant taking over Liberia by the United States and added that New York bankers who have made loans to Liberia would be the principal beneficiaries. Senator Glass said he did not concur with Mr. Harding's views and added that $26,000 advanced to Liberia to enable the Liberian delegates to attend the Paris peace conference was the only war loan which "cannot be justified." Borah declared that speculators had brought up claims against the Liberian government at 10 to 20 cents on the dollar with the expectation of payment from the $5,000,000 American fund. "I am not in favor of taking over Liberia and becoming a part of the imperial scheme of finance which is the curse bringing the world into another war," said Borah, adding that the bill proposed a salary roll of $96,000 annually for American commissioners to supervise the loan. "Borah's twenty million dollar "rider" added to Liberian loan bill adopted by Senette. This additional money to be used for reclamation projects in the west. --- Read this newspaper and keep posted on what is going on among Negroes in all ports of the country.

DR. E. C. MORRIS HIGHLY HONORED Eloquent Tributes to the Life of Dr. E. C. Morris. To The Planet. Solma, Ala., Sept. 18.—The passing of Dr. Ellis Camp Morris, who died at Little Rock, Arkansas, September 6, 1922, marks an epoch in the history of the Negro Baptist of the United States of America. The funeral services which were held at this late home in Holena, Arkansas, Tuesday September 12th were attended by eight thousand people from all walks of life, representing both races of the denomination, and citizens of his own city, where he spent forty-three years of his eventful life in the pastorate of the church which honored him in his death. According to a statement made today by Professor R. B. Hudson of Sobna, Alabama, for eighteen years the efficient secretary of the National Baptist Convention, who had charge of all arrangements for the services, the funeral was attended by four hundred representatives of the National Baptist Convention, of which Dr. Morris had been the ideal president for 28 years, and official members of the convention, including chairman and secretaries of the several boards who served as honorary nall-hearers. The sermon was delivered by Dr. W. G. Parks, Philadelphia, Pa., vice-president of the convention the principal eulogy was delivered by Dr. W. M. Taylor of Baton Rouge, La. and the consequent obituary was read by Dr. E. W. D. Isaac, of Nashville, Tennessee, the scriptures were read by Rev. C. H. Parrish, D. D., President Simmons University, Louisville, Ky., and a feeling prayer was offered by Dr. S. E. J. Watson of Chicago, III. Dr. J. C. Jackson, Hartford, Conn., was Master of Ceremonies. The services were conducted in the Centennial Baptist church, Helena, of which Dr. Morrish was pastor at his death. As evidence of the high esteem in which the deceased was held by citizens of the city in which he spent his public life for forty-three years, the mayor of the town issued a proclamation calling upon the business men to close their places of business for thirty minutes during the funeral obsequies. This was the third honor ever paid to a citizen of Helena, and the first ever paid to a colored man in the history of the city. The floral offerings were most numerous and elaborate, and came from all parts of the United States. Large numbers of telegrams, letters of condolence and resolutions attested the popularity and wide influence of the great leader and chieftain. According to the Secretary Hudson, Dr. Morris was a member of the Federal Council of Churches of America, the only Negro member of the Baptist World Alliance, founder of the Ata try GRO ical the kansas Baptist College and Chairman of its Board of Trustees at the time of his death and for 25 years the President of the Arkansas Baptist State conention.

Preston News Service. Boston, Mass., Sept. 19.—Last Monday night Kid Norfolk defeated Lee Anderson in a ten-round bout at the Boston Arena, under the auspices of the Arena A. C. Norfolk won by stiff body punches. Largely to the kldneys and by taking advantage of every opportunity afforded by Anderson. However, Anderson made a splendid showing in the early stages of the fight, taking the second, third, fourth and fifth rounds, by making a vigorous aggressive fight and pounding Norfolk about the body. But his unmindfulness of defensive tactics cost him, the battle as he permitted Norfolk to land several sledgehammer blows occasionally to the pit of his stomach and to the kldneys which finally began to weaken him. Norfolk appeared to be more heady than Anderson an through the battle. The effect of the punishment he was receiving from Norfolk became quite FOURTH BAPTIST CHURCH.

PATRONIZE OUR OWN BUSINESS ENTERPRISES TO HELP THE RACE. SIX (Preston News Service.) (President News Service.) Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 22.—There is a great deal of talk among Negroes all over the country about the necessity of patronizing race enterprises. A great many of those who do the most talking about this do not always practice what they preach. But they are constantly lamenting the fact that there are so few opportunities for the trained young man and woman of color to find something to do; and are constantly "cursing" out the white race because they will not give Negroes equal opportunities. There is nothing, then left for us to do but create businesses of our own and make these opportunities for our own young people. To do this we must patronize our own young people. To do this we must patronize our own race institutions. Anent this phase of our life in America E. D. Canady has the following to say editorially in the Portland, (Oregon) Advocate of which he is editor. "We were recently very much interested in a discussion we overheard among a number of our people as to why they didn't patronize colored businessmen. One said his reason for not patronizing our colored groceries was that once upon a time a colored merchant "short-changed" him. And from that time he would never trade with a colored man. We wonder if some white merchant hasn't cheated this man out of more than did the colored businessman? However, it is interesting that he did not say he would not patronize another white businessman. Another said: "I would not put my money in a colored bank for any consideration." When asked his reason he said, "Now didn't the Freedman's bank in Washington, D.C. go broke and a lot of colored people loose their money? And didn't John Mitchell's bank in Michmond, Va. close?" Perhaps this colored brother had heard of the number of banks operated by whites which had been closed, causing thousands of people to lose their money. Right here in Portland the State Bank has recently gone out of business, leaving many of its patrons in poor financial circumstances. But no one has heard any sensible person say that he would not deposit any more money in white banks. This same colored man, if he had any would be found in the front line in a money to deposit in a bank, we wager white bank. Another's excuse for not going to rooming houses or hotels conducted by Negroes was that colored people who run hotels talked too much and want to know all about one's business. Now there may be some truth in the last excuse. But let them talk, it will do Read The Richmond Planet --- one no harm, and if you have any bus iness, it will help advertise it. What the colored race needs is to patronize each other more, in all sorts of business, for it is only in this way we can become a power in the business world. While it may be true that the colored businessman is not up on all the details of conducting his business, novelthless if encouraged and patronized, he will soon develop all the fine points that go to make up a successful businessman. Patronize your own people in business and help them to give a better and bigger business to the public." PRIZE BRITISH SHIP' WHISKEY AND $50,880 SEIZED. Agents' Act Beyond Three Mile Limit Investigate by British Consul. MONEY IS ALL IN GOLD Appolby Says Rum Runners Refuse Bills as Many Were Counterfeits. A black hulled British schooner, the M. M. Gardner, which could a tale unfold, innocently, or otherwise, if not afflicted with aphasia. Hes near the Barge Office at the Battery. Revenue men boarded her in the darkness off the New Jersey shore on Thursday night and brought her captive into port. From her they took 65 1-2 cases of whisky and $50,886 in gold, one map of the Jersey coast and three books that seemed to the seagoing detectives to contain a list-of hotel and restaurant proprietors of New York, Atlantic City, Long Branch and other citadels of prohibition. After the names were letters in code-like combinations M. C. Betts of Lunenberg, N. S. captain of the schooner and the eight of his men were escorted over their protest to Hoboken to be charged before a United States Commissioner with attempting to snuggle merchandise into the Unit ed States. The legality of the seizure may be questioned by the British Government after further inquiry by the Consulate here. The schooner was indisputably arrested outside the three mile limit, the dry navy cruiser that did the seizing reported that the spot was seven and one-half miles east of Long Branch and between eight and nine miles east by southeast of Navesink Highlands light. Under the custom's law the Government claims the right to search any vessel with a broken car go found within twelve miles of shore. EXPLAINS GOLD TREASURE. John H. Appelby, zone enforcement chief had an explanation for the gold treasure found aboard the schooner, part of it in an iron chest. "Boozo runners," he said, "have been insisting on payment in gold of late because so many of them have been paid in counterfeit money. Some of them have gone back to Cuba or the Bahamas and tried to deposit the proceeds of their sales in the banks be fore learning how they had been subjected to a swindle for which there is no redress." short time during the past week on rudate from St. Louis, to Cleveland, O.

The skipper said he had taken the liquor to St. Pierre de Miquelon, a French Island off Newfoundland, and that he was returning to Nassau with the sixty-five and half cases, which the consignee had rejected. "Last night," he said, "I was at the wheel and when I saw a small vessel approaching I thought it was pirates. Even when they yelled through a mega phone. "Have to; we're revenue men. I thought they were pirates, being so far off shore, and I had a notion to ram 'em. On second thought I asked them to turn their searlight on their crew and flag. After this I could see they were revenue men and I was glad to have them come aboard." CAPTAIN HELD IN $5,000 The M. M. Gardner is a Grand Banks fishing schooner, 130 feet long. It made a record run from Nova Scotia to Portugal three years ago with dried fish. Customs agents have had it on the suspect list for some time. Papers found aboard yesterday indicate that the ship had been fushion on the present voyage and that boots, oilskin coats and supplies were bought at New Jersey points as recently as August 30. The ship has been impounded and all detachable equipment, including compass and phonograph records, taken off, pending the court decision. Government agents would not disclose the hotel and restaurant names in the code books. In Hoboken Capt. Betts and the supercargo R. H. Butler, were held in $5,000 ball apiece for a hearing today.
