THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia State Library, VOLUME XXXIX, NO. 48 RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1922 JUDGE ORDERS PROBE OF RECENT OUTRAGE IN GEORGIA JUDGE ORDERS PROBE OF RECENT OUTRAGE IN GEORGIA (Preston News Service.) Winder, Ga., Oct. 6.—Declaring that five white men and ten Negroes have been the victims of alleged outrages assaults of a powerful sinister influence in Barrow County during the last few months, Judge Blanton Portion of Superior Court called on the grand jury last Thursday morning to investigate the reign of terror which no charged is rampant (throughout the country. "Who is doing this?" Judge Forton asked, referring to the alleged outrages. "It is done by an organized band who have deliberately sought to create a reign of terror, or was it started by men with more or less worthy objects, who undertook to arrogate unto themselves the functions of government and have allowed the situation to get beyond their control? Is it being done by men who still believe they can usurp the functions of the courts. The jurist said that men who thought that they could serenely arrogate to themselves the administration of punishment were lacking in knowledge of history or the understanding of human nature. "Law and order must be restored at all costs. Citizens of Barrow county must take steps to remove this blight of hoodlunism sweeping over the county. I call upon the liberty-loving, self respecting and law-abiding citizenry to help clear the good name of the county from this curse," he declared. EARL R. JOHNSON IS DOUBLE CROSSED. Detroit, Mich., Sept. 29.—Doublecrossed and then subjected to untrue newspaper notoriously Earl R. Johnson three-times national amateur champion, and the greatest middle-distance runner the country has ever known, was the victim of unscrupulous white press agents here last Saturday. Johnson, who won the 1921 Defroit News Marathon, had been invited to take part in the race this year. He informed the race officials that he would not run the race unless his course be changed. The men agreed to this, but when Johnson reached Detroit he discovered that the course had not been changed. He forthwith notified the officials that he Absolutely Refused to Run. They then advised him that, inasmuch as the advertisement was built around him, that it would be best for him to start the race. Johnson started the race, and quit after he had run five blocks. The announcement came out later that Johnson had quit after he had run five miles! Such hosh! Could anyone with just a spoonful of commonsense conceive of a nation al five-mile and ten-mile champion quitting after running five miles? And then, to make it appear worse, no excuse was given to warrant such act ion. Later Johnson won the five-mitto race hands down. YOU ARE ALWAYS PROUD OF YOUR TOWN. Most people boast of the things produced in their town. Did you ever stop to think of the one thing in your town which does more to show the real progress you are making than any thing else? If you have we are sure that you soon found out that it was your newspaper. The way for an outsider to tell just how live and active the people of a town are is by observing their newspaper. If it is full of advertising; brimful of news of progressive activity among our people; contains strong editorials on thrift; articles about race achievement; and news of racial activity for betterment and development, you can bet your sweet life that the people of the town are widowake. The editor cannot do this alone. You businessmen must give him your advertisements and pay for them; the readers must pay their subscriptions, and everybody must let the editor know what he or she is doing for race progress. Stand by your paper in a cooperative manner and let the world know you are doing big things in your town. BAN ON MIXED BOUNTS IN NEW YORK STATE SEEMS ABOUT LIFTED. (Preston News Service.) New York City, Sept. 28.—The face that Danny Edwards, the colored bantamweight from the Pacific Coast has been matched to fight Irish Johnny Curtin at the Pioneer Athletic club soon has created an interesting stir in boxing circles here. Many students of the game believe that this bout will mark the lifting of the unofficial ban against mixed bouts in New York state, and to this fact they are inclined to attach far-reaching significance. For while there has been no opposition of mixed matches in New York, expressed in so many words, the accounts of the entire boxing commission, have led oceans of the sport, to believe that no mixed bout would be sanctioned. Indeed, it appeared that all promoters feared the far-reaching power of this body to such an extent that no effort was really made to promote bouts of a mixed nature. And thus colored fighters, despite the many assertions of the commission that they would rangle the bouts if all the rules were strictly adhered to found it impossible to get work, and discovered that they were as effectually barred here as in states where there is a legal ban against mixed bouts. ACTION SIGNIFICANT But the latest action of the big men, in the boxing game, together with the unprecedented demand for a Wills-Dempsey meeting, and the willingness of a certain group of promoters to comply with the almost impossible demands of the commission, is regarded as the entering wedge to a championship match, with a colored man and a white man as the principals. It is thought that the New York public, which has not been used to mixed bouts, is being gradually educated to mixed matches, so that when the great set of all matches of this type, the Wills-Dempsey affair—is announced, it will meet with a minimized amount of opposition. This angle of the situation can be taken for what it is worth, but the fact remains that the invisible ban against mixed fights in this state, and more particularly in Greater New York has been lifted, and colored fighters who have clean records will hereafter have no difficulty in finding engagements in metropolitan rings. --- COMMEMORATION MEETING IS HELD. Preston News Service.) Washington, D. C. Sept. 27.—Under the auspices of the Colored American Forward Movement of the Frelinghuysen University the sixtieth anniversary of the publication of the proclamation by President Lincoln was fitted by celebrated.

Pittsburgh, Pa., Sept. 26—Chester L. Washington, for several years assistant city editor of the Pittsburgh Courier, left last Tuesday for Richmond, Va., where he will enter Utoa University. Mr. Washington plans to become a lawyer. He is regarded as one of the most efficient stenographers in Pittsburgh, having won many prizes for speed and accuracy, both in shorthand and typewriting. CARTER GETS DECISION OVER CARVER. (Preston News Service) (Preston News Service). Cumberland, Md., Sept. 26.—In one of the stiffest contests from start to finish Billy Carter, of Connellsville, Pa., got the decision over Eddie Carver, the clever fighter of Pittsburgh. During the first four rounds it seemed as though Carver had the best of the affray. At the beginning of the fifth session Carter sailed into Eddie with all might and main, fighting like mad and managed to land a few stingers. During the sixth, seventh, and part of the eighth Carver managed to put up one of the clearest defensive fights seen here in many moons. Many of the fans, however, thought that Carver should have been given the decision as his method of fighting showed more scientific boxing than Carter's but the referee handed the decision to Carter. While it was only the preliminary bout of the affair staged between Ketler and Larsen, it showed up more son sational stuff than the main bout. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1922.

Home, Ark., Sept. 26.—Levi Anderson was shot and instantly killed by Herman Cooper here last Tuesday afternoon. The shooting is said to have occurred in the home of Wilson Muldrew. It is claimed that both men were seeking the hand of a prominent, young lady, whose name has been with held, in marriage. According to the police; Cooper is said to have chided the young lady for paying attention to a man who was not industrious enough to have a job. The young lady saw Anderson the next evening and told him that he should have a job as his rival had tended her about this and she felt very badly about it. This happened about two weeks ago. Anderson assured the young lady that he would get a position but first of all that he was going to settle with Cooper for making slurring remarks about him to her. Anderson went to the Muldrew home on Tuesday and while there Cooper came in and an argument ensued. Anderson is said to have seized a chair and attempted to strike Cooper with it. Cooper grabbed a double barrel shotgun that was standing in the corner of the room and shot Anderson, the entire charge or one barrel entering Anderson's shoulder near the collar bone. Cooper left immediately after the shooting and has not been arrested. Cooper was in the employ of the Ivory Handle Company here. Anderson was said to have been unemployed. WOMAN BUILDS A HOME FOR YOUNG WOMEN OR RACE. (Preston News Service.) Dallas, Texas, Sept. 27.—Miss Jessie Briggs Hall, whose farm near Mexia is now producing large revenue from oil leases, said Monday that she wishes to make her means useful to those of her race who must support themselves and are not able to pay for training for domestic service. "With funds of my own I have built a house at 2426 North Washington street, where I am training young Negro women for the beat home service" she said. "I am encouraging these girls to work their own way. In order to help them do this, I need to have work for them to do. I would like to have white people give us laundry work. It will be handled under the most sanitary conditions and under my personal direction right on my place. "We have a fine kitchen. I have been a cook for many years and am teaching these girls to cook. We are in position to take orders from white people for prepared foods. Helping us this way, white people will aid in giving these girls training for service in the homes and will be getting their money's worth in "immediate service." --- FOUR FACE MURDER TRIAL (Preston News Service.)

Boston, Mass., Sept. 27.—And now officials at Harvard University are going to tabulate just what it has contributed to civilization by races. Maybe, According to the vague statement of Prof. Penneypacker, chairman of the committee on admission one can gate or all sorts of conclusions. "The questionnaire was not drawn with a view to exclusion of members of the Jewish race" he added, however, that the papers would be employed as a matter of general interest than as of official record. Then it would seem that matters of general interest would be to exclude members of the Negro race. May he yes and maybe no. We shall wait and see. It is said that the new application blank, which includes requests for statements of race and color of applicants, is not intended to anticipate the conclusions of the committee now investigating restriction of enrollment. But why should the Negro or the Jew worry about entering Harvard so much. Both races are developing strong institutions of learning in various places in this country, we are formed. But, the point of contention, seems to be based on the constitutional right of American citizens to enjoy the advantage of whatever nature anywhere in this country. Harvard is supposed to be the foremost institution of learning in this country and leading in disseminating the broad-minded principles upon which this country was founded. --- INJURIES PROVE FATAL TO RICHARD BROWN.

Hot Springs, Ark., Oct. 5.—In charging the grand jury under the night rider section of the State status at the opening of the Circuit Court here, Judge Scott Wood took occasion to score the Ku Klux Klan. Among other things he said: "If the courts and the juries should approve or palligate the use of unlawful means to promote the public good, public good will soon be merely the pretext for the use or all kinds of unlawful means to carry out the arbitrary will of an organization, which would usurp powers of government and substitute its dictum, its right riders, its tar and feathers and its whip for the dignified and orderly processes of the courts of the country." Judge Wood dwelt at length or, the assumed prerogative of members of the Ku Klux Klan to demand the enforcement of only the laws against crimes that appear obnoxious to them "No organization of men in a secret, conclave has the right to find men guilty of an offense, and not even the courts under our constitution has the right to punish an offender by imposing a sentence of banishment," he declared. tor.

THE PLANET, 311 N. Fourth Street Long Distance Telephone, Randolph 2213. Richmond, Va. Washington, D. C., Sept. 26.—Accommi- tee, consisting of R. M. Nixon, Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Dr. Creed Childs, Rev. Emory Smith and Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, had a conference with Secretary Weeks of the War Depe- ment Thursday afternoon with refe- rence to the proposed bathing beach for Negroes on Columbia Island. They declared that Columbia Island is practic- ically inaccessible and otherwise unsti- able for the purpose. Outside of its distance from the city, it was stated that it could be utilized only by the operation of a ferry from the Virginia shore. It was suggested by the committee that in view of the long waterfront of the city and the large area of the tidal basin, it ought not to be difficult to find a more suitable place for the beach than the Virginia shore. Secretary Weeks, who has final jurisdiction said he would give the question full consideration and see that the colored people were protected in their rights in the matter. These vigorous protests have nec- made to the War Department against the establishment of the colored bath ing beach, for which Congress appo- riated $25,000 on Columbia Island, opposite the agricultural experim- ental station, on the Arlington reservation. Colonel Sherrill, the engineer officer in charge of public buildings and grounds, had selected a small area at the eastern end of the island as the site for the bathing beach for colored people. He had authorized building operations to begin early last spring, but finally discontinued because of the strong opposition brought to hea- by leading race men and women of the District of Columbia.

VIRGINIA BATTLING SIKI WILL FIGHT IN NEW YORK Rickard's Offer Accepted by the Senegalese Conqueror of Carpentier. George Fall of St. Louis, Senega, who in the ring is known as Battling Siki, and who recently knocked the world's light heavy-weight crown off the shapely head of George Carpenter has consented to box in this city on about Thanksgiving Day. Tex Rickard made announcement yesterday after noon to the effect that Hellers, manag er for Siki, has accepted terms and that the Senegalese would soon be on his way to this country. Rickard added. "I expect that he will sail for this side the third week in October to be ready to train about the first of Novem ber. By that time I will have selected an opponent for him but will not do so at this time, as most of the light heavie have matches. "Judging from the condition of Carpenter after his bout with Siki the black fellow must have something is surely entitled to a show over here. Even Dempsey failed to mark up Carpenter as Siki did." "He will not meet any setup at the Garden, for there are three or four first class men in the light heavy-weight class and I will select one of these after the foreigner arrives here." It is the promoter's intention to match Siki with Dempsey in June if he makes good in his bouts here. Jack Dempsey arrived in this city last evening after having received a verdict on points over a bull moose in the Maine woods. It is rumored that the Moose nearly got the points of his antlers into the champion's hide. Dempsey said he would rather fight Willis and Ski in the same ring than meet an infuriated Moose. In a ring pitched on the turf. If some professional promoter could induce Riley and Gutowski to leave the Amateur ranks and box as professionals the spectators would see a bout that, their thrills would surpass even the celebrated combat between Terry McGovern and Harry Forbes at the old Pelican B. C. PARSONS ON STAND IN HIS OWN DEFENSE. Feared For Life, Fired on Lewis, Mind Went Blank, He Says. HOUNDED BY STRIKERS. Verdict in Eastville Murder Trial Is Looker for This Afternoon. Eastville, Va., Sept. 29. Charles W. Parsons, wealthy citizen of Cap Charles at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon took the stand in his own defense o. the charges that he murdered George Lewis, shopman and striker on the evening of August 16. Following the noon recess, the defense put on six witnesses, chief of which was Parsons himself. Mr. Parsons stated that on account of feeble health he had practically given up at business since December; that up until July 1, he and Lewis were the best of friends. On that day Lewis came to him and warned him to keep out of the strikers' business. Since then, Parsons says, "nobody except God Almighty knows how much I have been persecuted." He stated Lewis warned him that it was only a question of time before strikers would get him; that on one occasion he heard one striker remark to a number of others, "Let's turn his d—car over." TELLS STORY OF TRAGEDY On the 16th he attended a baseball game at Capeville, returning late in the afternoon. He was feeling so nervous and sled he did not eat any supper. He went downtown to the postoffice, and, returning from the postoffice, stopped in front of Boyer's. He saw the fight between Kent and Wharton, picked up the hat of one of the fighters and asked who it belonged to. A striker replied with an exceptionally ugly epithet. This made him so nervous that he got in his car at once and went home, where he recalled a very important letter from Congressman S. O. Banno, unanswered at his office. He picked up a newspaper as he went out of the house. On arriving downtown he was afraid to go into his office, but, instead, entered the store of Adams Barban whose place of business adjoins the entrance to his office. Later he went out, sat on the bumper of his car and began to read his newspaper. Lew is approached him, smacked the paper out of his hands and said, "The strikers are going to get you." FEARED HE WAS TO BE KILLED. He started into his automobile. Strikers were approaching him in every direction, and he thought they were going to kill him. He reached in his car, seized his gun and shot, striking George Lewis, who was closest to him, not realizing at the time that it was Lewis that he had shot. After the first shot his mind went blank. He had no intention of killing Lewis, he asserted. Mrs. C. P. Parsons followed him and corroborated his testimony regarding the nervousness and fear of strikers. The defense rested the case at 4:20. The instructions to the jury are being argued before the court tonight, and Judge Westcott has said that he will only allow contestants and de- will only allow contestants three hours each for prosecution and defense for argument of the case, the prosecution from 9 until 12 tomorrow and the defense from 1 until 4. A verdict is expected to be rendered early tomorrow evening. FIRST MT. OLIVE NOTES Newtown, Va., Oct. 3.—We are glad to say that the sick on our list is improving.

Smith fell mortally wounded, dying a few days later. --- THREE STATE CONVENTIONS URGE PASSAGE OF THE DYER BILL Massachusetts State Democratic Convention Takes Similar Action. Strong resolutions endorsing the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill and specifically demanding that the United States Senate pass the measure have been recently passed by the State Republican Conventions of Massachusetts, California and New York, and by the Massachusetts State Democratic Convention according to an announcement made here today by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The action by these states has increased the number of State Republic conventions that have taken similar action to eight. The other five being: Indiana, Colorado, Ohio, West Virginia and Missouri. The resolution passed by the Massachusetts State Republican Convention through the efforts of Butler R. Wilson of Boston not only mentions the Dyer Bill specifically and urges its passage as speedily as possible, but scores bitterly race prejudice and especially disfranchisement. It demands that all the rights guaranteed by the Constitution be secured to the colored people and further declares that the Republican Party in Massachusetts favors legs in that that the laws of the common wealth, including the civil service, be administered "so that public employment may be open to all citizens impartially." The Massachusetts Democratic State Convention's resolution was strongly worded also, demanding that "both legislation and executive action put a stop at once and for all to the disgrace of lynch-law. The constitutional guard of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is a heritage that should be safeguarded, if necessary with Federal legislation." Mr. Wilson who wrote the plank in the Republican resolution is secretary of the Boston Branch of the N. A. A. C. P., and a member of the National Board of Directors of the Association The action of the California Republican State Convention was secured through the work of E. Burton Cerutti of Los Angeles, who is also a member of the National Board of Directors of the N. A. A. C. P., and attorney for the Northern California Branch of the Association. According to a letter from Mr. Cerutti, the endorsement was included in the platform of the party. The resolution unquivocally demanded that the Republican majority in the Senate pass the Dyer Bill. The resolutions of the New York State Republican Convention endorsing the Anti Lynching Bill were included in the platform adopted at Albany on September 28th and reads: "We urge the Senate to pass at the earliest possible date the Anti-Lynching Bill adopted by the House of Representatives at the last session." This resolution was the only specific demand on the Senate made by the New York State Convention. The introduction and passage of the resolution was secured through the activities of Mr. Charles W. Anderson of New York and Congressman Ogden I. Mills who acted at the request of the N. A. A. C. P. STUTTORING, MAN TRIES TO SELL GUN. Pittsburgh, Pa., Sept. 27. — Zvatek Mackain, who suffers from impediment of speech was sentenced to spend 30 days in jail. At the trial M. K. Jones declared: "He stuttered so badly, that before he could say, 'hands up' to me, I had disarmed him, and then he tried to sell me the gun." "I didn't mean any harm." Mackain declared, almost unintelligibly. He explained that he arrived in Pittsburgh on September 3rd from Alabama with only $10 in his pockets and was robbed by some men in the Italian section and being without money he tried to sell his revolver. "Before I could tell the man what I wanted he turned me over to the police" he finally stammered. He was sentenced to 30 days in jail on a charge of carrying concealed weapons.

VIRGINIA BATTLING SIKI WILL FIGHT IN NEW YORK Rickard's Offer Accepted by the Senegalese Conqueror of Carpenter. George Fall of St. Louis, Senega, who in the ring is known as Battling Siki, and who recently knocked the world's light heavy-weight crown off the shapey head of George Carpenter has consented to box in this city on so about Thanksgiving Day. Tex Rickard made announcement yesterday afternoon to the effect that Hellers, manager for Siki, has accepted terms and that the Senegalese would soon be on his way to this country. Rickard added. "I expect that he will sail for this side the third week in October to be ready to train about the first of November. By that time I will have selected an opponent for him but will not do so at this time, as most of the light heavier have matches. "Judging from the condition of Carpenter after his bout with Siki the black yellow must have something is surely entitled to a show over here. Even Dempsey failed to mark up Carpenter as Siki did." "He will not meet any setup at the Garden, for there are three or four first class men in the light heavy-weight class and I will select one of these after the foreigner arrives here." It is the promoter's intention to match Siki with Dempsey in June if he makes good in his bouts here. --- Jack Dempsey arrived in this city last evening after having received a verdict on points over a bull moose in the Matine woods. It is rumored that the Moose nearly got the points of his antlers into the champion's hide. Dempsey said he would rather fight Wilts and Ski in the same ring than meet an infuriated Moose. In a ring pitched on the turf. --- If some professional promoter could induce Riley and Gutowski to leave the Amateur ranks and box as professionals the spectators would see a bout that their thrills would surpass even the celebrated combat between Terry McGovern and Harry Forbes at the old Pelican B. C. PARSONS ON STAND IN HIS OWN DEFENSE. Feared For Life, Fired on Lewis Mind Went Blank, He Says. HOUNDED BY STRIKERS. Verdict in Eastville Murder Trial is Looker for This Afternoon. Eastville, Va., Sept. 29.—Charles W. Parsons, wealthy citizen of Cap Charles at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon took the stand in his own defense o. the charges that he murdered George Lewis, shopman and striker on the evening of August 16. Following the noon recess, the defense put on six witnesses, chief of which was Parsons himself. Mr. Parsons stated that on account of feeble breath he had practically given up at business since December; that up until July 1, he and Lewis were the best of friends. On that day Lewis came to him and warned him to keep out of the strikers' business. Since then, Par sons says, "nobody except God Almighty knows how much I have been persecuted." He stated Lewis warned him that it was only a question of time before strikers would get him; that on one occasion he heard one striker remark to a number of others, "Let's turn his d—n car over." TELLS STORY OF TRAGEDY On the 16th he attended a baseball game at Capeville, returning late in the afternoon. He was feeling so nervous and sick he did not eat any supper. He went downtown to the postoffice, and, returning from the postoffice, stopped in front of Boyer's. He saw the fight between Kent and Wharton, picked up the hat of one of the fighters and asked who it belonged to. A striker replied with an exceptional ugly epithet. This made him so nervous that he got in his car at once and went home, where he recalled a very important letter from Congressman S. O. Bann, unanswered at his office. He picked up a newspaper as he went out of the house. On arriving downtown he was afraid to go into his office, but, instead, entered the store of Adams Barb whose place of business adjoins the entrance to his office. Later he went out, sat on the bumper of his car and began to read his newspaper. Lew is approached him, smacked the paper out of his hands and said, "The strikers are going to get you." FEARED HE WAS TO BE KILLED He started into his automobile. Strikers were approaching him in every direction, and he thought they were going to kill him. He reached in his car, soiled his gun and shot, striking George Lewis, who was closest to him, not realizing at the time that it was Lewis that he had shot. After the first shot his mind went blank. He had no intention of killing Lewis, he asserted. Mrs. C. P. Parsons followed him and corroborated his testimony regarding the nervousness and fear of strikers. The defense rested the case at 4:20. The instructions to the jury are being argued before the court tonight, and Judge Westcott has said that he will only allow contestants, and de --- will only allow contestants three hours each for prosecution and defense for argument of the case, the prosecution from 9 until 12 tomorrow and the defense from 1 until 4. A verdict is expected to be rendered early tomorrow evening. FIRST MT. OLIVE NOTES. Newtown, Va., Oct. 3.—We are glad to say that the sick on our list is improving.

Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 5.—An indictment charging involuntary manslaughter was returned last Tuesday afternoon against Marion Richardson, a Negro strike-breaker in connection with the death of Floyd A. Smith, (white) striker, who died last August as the result of wounds which it is alleged he received at the hands of Richardson in a strike disorder on August 5 in the Georgia railroad yards. Following the encounter Richardson was taken into custody and charged with having shot Smith. At the preliminary hearing testimony indicated that a crowd of white men gathered around Richardson and threatened him with violence. It is alleged that Smith started toward Richardson, calling him all sorts of names and as the crowd advanced towards Richardson he drew a revolver and fired. Smith fell mortally wounded, dying a few days later. --- THREE STATE CONVEN TIONS URGE PASSAGE OF THE DYER BILL Massachusetts State Democratic Convention Takes Similar Action. Strong resolutions endorsing the Dyer Anti-lynching bill and specifically demanding that the United States Senate pass the measure have been recently passed by the State Republican Conventions of Massachusetts, California and New York, and by the Massachusetts State Democratic Convention according to an announcement made here today by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The action by these states has increased the number of State Republican conventions that have taken similar action to eight. The other five being: Indiana, Colorado, Ohio, Wes, Virginia and Missouri. The resolution passed by the Massachusetts State Republican Convention through the efforts of Butler R. Wilson of Boston not only mentions the Dyer Bill specifically and endures its passage as quickly as possible, but scores bitterly race prejudice and especially disfranchisement. It demands that all the rights guaranteed by the Constitution be secured to the colored people and further deserves that the Republican Party in Massachusetts favors legal isolation that "the laws of the common wealth, including the civil service," be administered "so that public employment may be open to all citizens impartially." The Massachusetts Democratic State Convention's resolution was strongly wooled also, demanding that "both legislation and executive action put a stop at once and for all to the disgrace of lynch law. The constitutional guarer of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness is a heritage that should be safeguarded, if necessary with Federal legal legislation." Mr. Wilson who wrote the plank in the Republican resolution is secretary of the Boston Branch of the N. A. A. C. P., and a member of the National Board of Directors of the Association. The action of the California Republican State Convention was secured through the work of E. Hurton Cerutti of Los Angeles, who is also a member of the National Board of Directors of the N. A. A. C. P., and attorney for the Northern California Branch of the Association. According to a letter from Mr. Cerutti, the endorsement was included in the platform of the party. The resolution unequivocally demanded that the Republican majority in the Senate pass the Dyer Bill. The resolutions of the New York State Republican Convention endorsing the Anti Lynching Bill were included in the platform adopted at Albany on September 28th and reads: "We urge the Senate to pass at the earliest possible date the Anti-Lynching Bill adopted by the House of Representatives at the last session." This resolution was the only specific demand on the Senate made by the New York State Convention. The introduction and passage of the resolution was secured through the activities of Mr. Charles W. Anderson of New York and Congressman Ogden L. Mills who acted at the request of the N. A. A. C. P. STUTTERING. MAN TRIES TO SELL GUN. (Preston News Service.) Pittsburgh, Pa., Sept. 27.—Zuvet Mackain, who suffers from impediment of speech was sentenced to spend 30 days in jail. At the trial M. K. Jones declared: "He stuttered so badly, that before he could say, 'hands up' to me, I had disarmed him, and then he tried to sell me the gun." "I didn't mean any harm," Mackain declared, almost unintelligibly. He explained that he arrived in Pittsburgh on September 3rd from Alabama who only $10 in his pockets and was robbed by some men in the Italian section and being without money he tried to sell his revolver. "Before I could tell the man what I wanted he turned me over to the police" he finally stammered. He was sentenced to 30 days in jail on a charge of carrying concealed weapons.

Winder, Ga., Oct. 6.—Deckering that five white men and ten Negroes have been the victims of a powerful mister influence in Barrow County during the last few months, Judge Rilton Forson of Superior Court called on the grand jury last Thursday morning to investigate the reign of terror which he charged is rampant throughout the country. "Who is doing this?" Judge Forson asked, referring to the alleged outrages. "It is done by an organized band who have deliberately sought to create a reign of terror, or was it started by men with more or less worthy objects, who undertook to arrogate unto themselves the functions of government and have allowed the situation to get beyond their control? Is it being done by men who still believe they can usurp the functions of the courts. The jurist said that men who thought that they could seriously arrogate to themselves the administration of punishment were lacking in knowledge of history or the understanding of human nature. "Law and order must be restored at all costs. Citizens of Barrow county must take steps to remove this blight of hoodiness sweeping over the county. I call upon the liberty-loving, self respecting and law-abiding citizenry to help clear the good name of the county from this curse," he declared. EARL R. JOHNSON IS DOUBLE CROSSED. Detroit, Mich., Sept. 29.—Doublecrossed and then subjected to nutracep newspaper notoriety, Carl R. Johnson three-times national amateur champion, and the greatest middle-distance runner the country has ever known, was the victim of unscrupulous white press agents here last Saturday. Johnson, who won the 1921 Detroit News Marathon, had been invited to take part in the race this year. He informed the race officials that he would not run the race unless he course he changed. The men agreed to this, but when Johnson reached Detroit he discovered that the course had not been changed. He forthwith notified the officials that he Absolutely Refused to Run. They then advised him that, inasmuch as the advertisement was built around him, that it would be best for him to start the race. Johnson started the race, and quit after he had run five blocks. The announcement came out later that Johnson had quit after he had run five miles! Such bosh! Could anyone with just a spoonful of commonsense conceive of a nation at five-mile and ten-mile champion quitting after running five miles? And then, to make it appear worse, no excuse was given to warrant such act. Clear-minded and fair-sport-lover, can readily see the motive for this underhand method of double-crossing. Later Johnson won the five-mile race hands down. YOU ARE ALWAYS PROUD OF YOUR TOWN. Most people boast of the things produced in their town.

(Preston News Service) New York City, Sept. 28—The tape that Danny Edwards, the colored bantamweight from the Pacific Coast has been matched to fight Irish Johnny Curtin at the Pioneer Athletic club soon has created an interesting stir in boxing circles here. Many students of the game believe, that this bout will mark the listing of the unofficial but against mixed boutts in New York state, and to this fact they are inclined to attach far-reaching significance. For while there has been no opposition of mixed matches in New York, expressed in so many words, the accounts of the entire boxing concussion, many of the followers at the sport, to be loved that no mixed bout would be suspended. Indeed, it appeared that sib promoters feared the far-reaching power of this body up such an extent that no effort was really made to promote boutts of a mixed nature. And thus colored fighters, despite the many assentions of the commission that they would function the hours if all the rules were strictly adhered to. Und it impossible to get work, and discovered that they were as effectual as barred here as in states where there is a legal ban against mixed bouts. ACTION SIGNIFICANT But the latest action of the big meet, in the boxing game, together with the unprecedented demand for a Wills Dempsey meeting, and the willingness of a certain group of promoters to comply with the almost impossible demands of the commission, is regarded as the entering wedge to a championship match, with a colored man and a white man as the principals. It is thought that the New York public, which has not been used to mixed bouts, is being gradually educated to mixed matches, so that when the great set of all matches of this type—the Wills Dempsey affair—is announced, it will meet with a minimized amount of opposition. This angle of the situation can be taken for what it is worth, but the fact remains that the invisible ban against mixed fights in this state, and more particularly in Greater New York has been lifted, and colored fighters who have clean records will bereafter have no difficulty in finding engagements in metropolitan rings. --- COMMEMORATION MEETING IS HELD.

(Preston News Service) Cumberland, Md., Sept. 26.—In one of the stiffest contests from start to finish Billy Carter, of Connellsville, Pa., got the decision over Eddie Carver, the clever fighter of Pittsburgh. During the first four rounds it seemed as though Carver had the best of the affray. At the beginning of the fifth session Carter sailed into Eddie with all might and main, fighting like mad and managed to land a few stingers. During the sixth, seventh, and part of the eighth Carver managed to put up one of the clearest defensive fights seen here in many moons. Many of the fans, however, thought that Carver should have been given the decision as his method of fighting showed more scientific boxing than Carter's but the referee handed the decision to Carter. While it was only the preliminary bout of the affair staged between Ketser and Larsen, it showed up more son national stuff than the main bout.

Hone, Ark., Sent. 26.—Levi Anderson was shot and instantly killed by Herman Cooper here last Tuesday afternoon. The shooting is said to have occurred in the home of Wilson Muldrew. It is claimed that both men were seeking the hand of a promoter, young lady, whose name has been with held, in marriage. According to the police; Cooper is said to have chided the young lady for paying attention to a man who was not industrious enough to have a job. The young lady saw Anderson the next evening and told him that he should have a job as his rival had tended her about this and she felt very badly about it. This happened about two weeks ago. Anderson assured the young lady that he would get a position but first of all that he was going to settle with Cooper for making slurring remarks about him to her. Anderson went to the Muldrew home on Tuesday and while there Cooper came in and an argument ensued. Anderson is said to have seized a chair and attempted to strike Cooper with it. Cooper grabbed a double barrel shotgun that was standing in the corner of the room and shot Anderson, the entire charge of one barrel entering Anderson's shoulder near the collar bone. Cooper left immediately after the shooting and has not been arrested. Cooper was in the employ of the Ivory Handle Company here. Anderson was said to have been unemployed.

"I am encouraging these girls to work their own way. In order to help them do this, I need to have work for them to do. I would like to have white people give us laundry work. It will be handled under the most sanitary conditions and under my personal direction right on my place. "We have a fine kitchen. I have been a cook for many years, and am teaching these girls to cook. We are in position to take orders from white people for prepared foods. Helping us this way, white people will aid in giving these girls training for service in the homes and will be getting their money's worth in "immediate service."

Boston, Mass., Sept. 27.—And now officials at Harvard University are going to tabulate just what it has control but to civilization by races. Maybe According to the vague statement of Prof. Penneypacker, chairman of the committee on admission one can gather all sorts of conclusions. "The questionaire was not drawn with a view to exclusion of members of the Jewish race" he added, however, that the papers would be employed as a matter of general interest than as of official record. Then it would seem that matters of general interest would be to exclude members of the Negro race. May be yes and maybe no. We shall wait and see. It is said that the new application blank, which includes requests for statements of race and color of applicants, is not intended to anticipate the conclusions of the committee now investigating restriction of enrollment. But why should the Nogro or the Jew worry about entering Harvard so much. Both races are developing strong institutions of learning in various places in this country, we are to formed. But, the point of contention seems to be based on the constitutional right of American citizens to enjoy the advantage of whatever nature anywhere in this country. Harvard is supposed to be the foremost institution of learning in this country and leading in disseminating the broad-minded principles upon which this country was founded.

Oct. 5—In charging the grand jury under the night rider section of the state status at the opening of the Circuit Court here Judge Scott Wood took occasion to score the Ku Klux Klan. Among of or things he said; "If the courts and the juries should approve or palligate the use of unlawful means to promote the public good, public good will soon be merely the pretext for the use of all kinds of unlawful means to carry out the arbitrary will of an organization, which would usurp powers of government and substitute its dictum, its right riders, its tar and feathers, and its whip for the dignified and eductible processes of the courts of the country. Judge Wood dwelt at length on the assumed prerogative of members of the Ku K'ux Klan to demand the enforcement of only the laws against crimes that appear obnoxious to them. "No organization of men in a secret conclave has the right to find men guilty of an offense, and not even the courts under our constitution has the right to punish an offender by imposing a sentence of banishment," he declared. tor.

HARRY WILLS KNOCKS OUT CLEM JOHNSON IN TWELFTH ROUND - CLEM HELPLESS AFTER AWFUL LACING BY COMING CHAMP TWO (By Charles F. Mathison.) (By Charles F. Matthison.) Harry Wille, who is matched with Jack Dempsey, required twelve rounds at Madison Square Garden last night in which to hammer all the fight out of a practically unknown Negro boxer Clem Johnson. Johnson had absolutely no business in the same ring with Wills. He was completely outcast by the New Orleans opponent. Although Clem showed a fair degree or boxing he was unable to withstand the attack of Wills, and only by clinching and hugging almost continually did he manage to remain on his feet until near the close of the twelfth round. Johnson took a terrific beating. The defeated man's face was bruised and cut and puffed and about the only thing that could be said in favor of Johnson was that he took a lambasting without a murmur of complaint. As a whole, it was a distressing exhibition and did not reflect much credit on Wills as a finisher, as he had numerous openings to Johnson's jaw in every round and while he landed frequently his blows did not seem to have much effect. WILLS'S BLOWS ARE WILD Wills was also, wild in his delivery, many of his shots missing by incher. The saddened spectators who wattened, the affair to the bitter end were of the opinion that Wills would not last very long in a contest with Jack Dempsey, Wills's boxing was mediocre, and as Johnson, while on the defensive reached Wills's jaw a great many times it would be an easy matter for a sharp shooter like Dempsey to land on the mark. Johnson was first to enter the ring and he looked holdly about the arena, showing no evidence of the fright that attacked the two members of the Jack son family when they faced Wills. Wills followed almost immediately and walking across the ring, shook hanes with Johnson. When Joe Humphries announced that the bout was to be fifteen rounds the spectators laughed up roariously. Wills weighed 213 3-4 pounds and Johnson 204. The management sought to alay the disappointment of the spectators by putting on an extra bout. The boxers were Bobby Michaels and Nlex Flores, two lightweights. Michaels put his man down for a count of nine in the first round and knocked him out in forty seconds in the second round. FIGHT BY ROUNDS. ROUND ONE—Johnson started with a right swing to Wills's ear, Wills swung his right to Johnson's face and Johnson sent a righthander to Wills's ribs at close quarters. Wills hooked a left to Johnson's face and rapped his ear with his right. Johnson sent a left to the ribs and then clinched. Wills landed two righthanders on Johnson's face in succession and Johnson clinched again. Wills hammered Johnson on the jaw with his right, and forced him all about the ring. Wills hooked Johnson on the head with his left, and drove him into a corner with a show or of lefts. Johnson was tired at the close. ROUND TWO—Johnson shot a left to body, and then hugged. Wills reached the body with his left and the jaw with his right. Johnson poked a stiff right into Wills's stomach and followed with a left to the same spot. Wills hammered Johnson on the jaw and Johnson held on tight at close quarters. Harry pounded Johnson on the body and then reached his jaw with both hands. Johnson clinching to avoid punishment. Wills sent a heavy left hook to Johnson's chin. Johnson was running away at the close. ROUND THREE—Johnson sent a solid left to Wills's face Wills reached his face with his right. Johnson clinched at every opportunity. Wills caught Johnson with a terrific righthander on the nose, and followed with a left to the face. Johnson hung on desperately but Wills got him in a corner and pounded him fiercely with both hands. In a mixup Johnson shot a hard right to Wills's jaw but Wills drove him off with a solid right to his face and a left to the body. Johnson was so tired he could hardly walk to his corner. ROUND FOUR—Clem opened with straight left to Wills's throat, and got in return a half dozen rights and lefts to face and body. Johnson shot a right to Wills's jaw and then hung on for dear life. Wills pummelled Johnson about the ring. Johnson occasionally a right and left to Wills's face. Wills sent two lefthanders to Johnson's nose and shot over a right that nearly toppled over Johnson. ROUND FIVE—Wills reached the jaw with his right, and after he had gotten two hard drives from Wills Johnson hugged. Wills sent in a half dozen shots to body and face and John son clinched. Wills staggered Johnson with heavy left and rights to jaw and drove him against ropes with hard rights to face and jaw. Wills uppercert Johnson on chin and sent in some smashing hooks to the face. Johnson was so tired he could not even clinch. ROUND SIX—Wills uppercert John son on the chin and shot a left to his nose and then followed with a volley of rights and lefts. Johnson's eye was closed and he was bleeding from mouth and nose. He was so weary he could not do anything but fall into clutches. ROUND SEVEN—Referee warned both fighters to get busy and Wills went after his man with a rush. Wills staggered Johnson with right uppercet to the chin and then hit him in the face with both hands, sending him to his heels. Johnson was being pummeled with everything Wills could send over. Johnson rallied and landed a week blow or two. Wills hooked his right to Johnson's head and apparently hurt his hand, for he failed to use it there after. ROUND EIGHT—Wills gave Johnson a terrific pounding, but failed to knock him off his feet. Johnson clinched to save himself. Wills slowed up and Johnson went back to his corner not so tired. ROUND NINE—Wills started after Johnson but failed to land with effect. Johnson got a straight left to Wills's throat and Wills pounded him in body and face with both hands. Wills was nearly as tired as Johnson at the bell. ROUND TEN—Johnson rallied some what, landed two or three left handers on Wills's face. Wills was getting wild and missed some of his blows by a foot Johnson was wabby from short hooks he took on his jaw at the end of the round. FIFA WORLD CUP FINALS Saturday 23rd June 1966 Brazil v Argentina FIFA WORLD CUP FINALS Saturday 23rd June 1966 Brazil v Argentina ROUND ELEVEN—Johnson got a right hand to Wills's jaw. Johnson then traded punches with Wills, and did not get much the worst of it. Wills staggered Johnson with a volley of rights and lefts. Johnson was getting a hard pounding, but was on his feet when the gong ended the round. ROUND TWELVE—Wills homhardened Johnson with all kinds of blows. Wills drove his rival to a corner and pounded him hard on the jaw. He was lying helpless on the ropes under heavy fire when the referee stopped the hout. Time of round. 1 minute, 35 seconds. MCKENNA GETS DECISION Charlie McKenna, former amateur light heavyweight champion earned the judges' decision over Leo Gaites of Adams, Massachusetts, in an inter esting six round bout. Gaites held his opponent on even terms for the first four rounds, but in the fifth round McKenna floored his man with a wolf executed cross to the jaw. McKenna also staggered his man in the sixth with heavy right handers to the jaw, and had him tired and groggy at the bell. McKenna's work in the ring is marred by his combat dancing. Floyd Johnson, the promising heavy weight made short work of the veteran Whitey Allen. The match was an absurd done, Allen being completely outclassed in all respects, Johnson weighing 197 1-2 pounds to 179 by Allen. Johnson began to shoot rights and lefts to Allen's face from the sound of the bell, until Haley the referee stepped between the men and brought the one sided affair to a close. Allen was helpless, leaning against the ropes at the colse of the boat. The time was 2 minutes and seventeen seconds on the first round. "USING HIS HEAD' TO GOOD PURPOSES. THE WOMEN'S HERITAGE Joe Sterling of Harlem and Jimmy Sullivan of the West Side boxed four rounds to a draw. Sullivan, who was formerly an amateur boxing champion appeared to have a slight advantage, because of a well directed straight left to the nose that jarred Sterling to his heels every few seconds. Sterling made occasional efforts with a right wing, which shook Sullivan several times. Sullivan was entitled to the verdict. (New York Herald, Sept. 28, 1922.) A. M. E.CHURCH NEWS.

Army now Up Against Intrenchments at Chanak; No Shots Yet Fire! Sultan Reported Abdicated in Favor of Holr. Constantinople, Sept. 28.—(Associat ed Press.)T he Turks have occupied the entire neutral zone on the Astatic side of the Dardanelles, with the exception of the Chanak area, around which they have established infantry units in a semi-circle, virtually investing the British lines. The Turkish cavalry squadrons are retiring and the British troops, who are in strong force at Chanak, are ready for what may happen. In these circumstances General Harrington, the British commander in chief, has sent a wireless message to Kenal Pasha at Snyrna asking for an immediate personal meeting. He leaves the choice of place to Kenal, whose reply is expected momentarily. (A report sent to Paris by the Havas correspondent at Constantinople says, the Sultan of Turkey has abdicated in favor of Prince Abdul Medjid Efendil, the heir apparent.) Yusuf Kemal Pasha, the Naecionalist Foreign Minister, is understood to have gone to Angora to submit the allied joint note to the Nationalist Assembly, but in the meantime Turkish concentrations are being pushed with the greatest speed. BRITISH RUSH REINFORCEMENTS British reinforcements are reaching here and the threatened area. The surpredreadnoughts Revenge and Revolution, the most powerful fighting machines afloat, have arrived in the Dardanelles, while a battalion of North Staffordshires and 1,000 men of the British air forces landed today and marched through Constantinople with bands playing. Their presence has helped to bring about a reassuring effect. The Turkish instructions to the men in the Chanak sector are to advance the furthest possible without meeting resistance. They are now practically against the British intrenchments and obviously the situation cannot be made finitely prolonged. Notwithstanding the Kennalist concentration grounds around Chanak, however, the British are confident, of holding their lines against all odds. They declare that their flanks are well protected by the fleet. The battleships, with their 16-inch guns can sweep the whole area around Chanak for a distance of twenty miles, and it is possible for the British to dismount some of their giant naval guns and use them for shore batteries. The Turks at present have only machine guns in the Chanak area. If they brought up heavy artillery the security of Chanak might be seriously challenged, the British admit, but the intrenchments in this sector are so safe to be more efficient than any used in the world war. Since September 11 2,000 men from the labor squad, 1,000 from the fleet, and several thousand from the army have been steadily building trenches and setting up gun emplacements. Two thousand British marines and Grenadier Guards and two battalions of Dorsets are due here tomorrow SULTAN ABDICATES Paris, Sept. 22.—Mohammed VI., Sultan of Turkey has abdicated in favor of the heir apparent. Prince Abdul Medjid Effendi, according to a report sent by the Havas correspondent at Constantinople. The news, he adds, has not yet been officially announced. Prince Abdul Medjid who is a cousin of the Sultan was born in 1688. London, Sept. 28.—(Associated Press—The Sultan of Turkey has abdicated, according to a Reuter dispatch from Constantinople coming by way of Paris. ALLEGED TO HAVE DRIVEN 60 MILES AN HOUR.

Legions for Time at Reasonable First-class Automobiles and HARRY WILLS KNOCKS OUT CLEM JOHNSON IN TWELFTH ROUND - CLEM HELPLESS AFTER AWFUL LACING BY COMING CHAMP TWO (By Charles F. Mathison.) Harry Wilk, who is matched with Jack Dempsey, required twelve rounds at Madison Square Garden last night in which to hammer all the fight out of a practically unknown Negro boxer Clem Johnson. Johnson had absolutely no business in the same ring with Will. He was completely outcast by the New Orleans opponent. Although Clem showed a fair degree of boxing he was unable to withstand the attack of Wills, and only by clinching and hugging almost continually did he manage to remain on his feet until near the close of the twelfth round. Johnson took a terrific heating. The defeated man's face was bruised and cut and puffed and about the only thing that could be said in favor of Johnson was that he took a lambasting without a murmur of complaint. As a whole, it was a distressing exhibition and did not reflect much credit on Wilts as a finisher, as he had numerous openings to Johnson's jaw in every round and while he landed frequently his blows did not seem to have much effect. WILLS'S BLOWS ARE WILD Wills was also wild in his delivery, many of his shots missing by inches. The saddened spectators who wattened, the affair to the bitter end were of the opinion that Wills would not last very long in a contest with Jack Dempsey. Wills's boxing was mediocre, and as Johnson, while on the defensive readied Wills's jaw a great many times it would be an easy matter for a sharpshooter like Dempsey to land on the mark. Johnson was first to enter the ring and he looked boldly about the arena, showing no evidence of the fright that attacked the two members of the Jack son family when they faced Wills. Wills followed almost immediately and walking across the ring, shook hannes with Johnson. When Joe Humphries announced that the bout was to be fifteen rounds the spectators laughed up roariously. Wills weighed 213-34 pounds and Johnson 204. The management sought to alay the cisappointment of the spectators by putting on an extra bolt. The boxers were Bobby Michael and Nlex Plot to two lightweights. Michael put his man down for a count of nine in the first round and knocked him out in forty seconds in the second round. FIGHT BY ROUNDS. ROUND ONE—Johnson started with a right swing to Wills's ear. Wills swung his right to Johnson's face and Johnson sent a righthander to Wills's ribs at close quarters. Wills hooked a left to Johnson's face and rapped his ear with his right. Johnson sent a left to the ribs and then clinched. Wills landed two righthanders on Johnson's face in succession and Johnson clinched again. Wills hammered Johnson on the jaw with his right, and forced him all about the ring. Wills hooked Johnson on the head with his left, and drove him into a corner with a show er of lefts. Johnson was tired at the close. ROUND TWO—Johnson shot alet to body, and then hugged. Wills reached the body with his left and the jaw with his right. Johnson poked a stiff right into Wills's stomach and followed with a left to the same spot. Wills hammered Johnson on the jaw and Johnson held on tight at close quarters. Harry pounded Johnson on the body and then reached his jaw with both hands. Johnson clinching to avoid punishment. Wills sent a heavy left hook to Johnson's chin. Johnson was running away at the close. ROUND THREE—Johnson sent a solid left to Wills's face Wills reached his face with his right. Johnson clinched at every opportunity. Wills caught Johnson with a terrific righthander on the nose, and followed with a left to the face. Johnson hung on desperately but Wills got him in a corner and pounded him fiercely with both hands. In a mixup Johnson shot a hard right to Wills's jaw but Wills drove him off with a solid right to his face and a left to the body. Johnson was so tired he could hardly walk to his corner. ROUND FOUR—Clem opened with straight left to Wills's throat, and got in return a half dozen rights and lefts to face and body. Johnson shot a right to Wills's jaw and then hung on for dear life. Wills pummelled Johnson about the ring. Johnson occasionally a right and left to Wills's face. Wills sent two lefthanders to Johnson's nose and shot over a right that nearly topped over Johnson. ROUND FIVE—Wills reached the jaw with his right, and after he had gotten two hard drives from Wills Johnson hugged. Wills sent in a half dozen shots to body and face and John son clinched. Wills staggered Johnson with heavy left and rights to jaw and drove him against ropes with hard rights to face and jaw. Wills uppercert Johnson on chin and sent in some smashing hooks to the face. Johnson was so tired he could not even clench. ROUND SIX—Wills uppercert John son on the chin and shot a left to his nose and then followed with a volley of rights and lefts. Johnson's eye was closed and he was bleeding from mouth and nose. He was so weary he could not do anything but fall into clenches. ROUND SVEN—Referee warned both fighters to get busy and Wills went after his man with a rush. Wills staggered Johnson with right uppercut to the chin and then hit him in the face with both hands, sending him to his heels. Johnson was being pummelled with everything Wills could send over. Johnson rallied and landed a week blow or two. Wills hooked his right to Johnson's head and apparently hurt his hand, for he failed to use it there after. ROUND EIGHT—Wills gave John son a terrific pounding, but failed to knock him off his feet. Johnson climbed to save himself. Wills slowed up and Johnson went back to his corner not so tired. ROUND NINE—Wills started after Johnson but failed to land with effect Johnson got a straight left to Wills's throat and Wills pounded him in body and face with both hands. Wills was nearly as tired as Johnson at the bell. ROUND TEN—Johnson rallied some what, landed two or three left handers on Wills's face. Wills was getting wild and missed some of his blows by a foot Johnson was wabby from short hooks he took on his jaw at the end of the round. SHEFFIELD ROUND ELEVEN—Johnson got a right hander to Wills's jaw. Johnson then traded punches with Wills, and did not get much the worst of it. Wills staggered Johnson with a volley of rights and left. Johnson was getting a hard pounding, but was on his feet when the gong ended the round. ROUND TWELVE—Wills bounharded Johnson with all kinds of blows. Wills drove his rival to a corner and pounded him hard on the jaw. He was lying helpless on the ropes under heavy fire when the referee stopped the bout. Time of round, 1 minute, 35 seconds. MCKENNA GETS DECISION Charlie McKenna, former amateur light heavyweight champion earned the judges' decision over Leo Gaites of Adams, Massachusetts, in an interesting six round bout. Gaites held his opponent on even terms for the first four rounds, but in the fifth round McKenna floored his man with a well executed cross to the jaw. McKenna also staggered his man in the sixth with heavy right handers to the Jaw, and had him fired and grooggy at the bell. McKenna's work in the ring is marred by his combat dancing. Floyd Johnson, the promising heavy weight made short work of the veteran Whitey Allen. The match was an absur done. Allen being completely out classed in all respects, Johnson weighs weighed 197 1-2 pounds to 179 by Allen. Johnson began to shoot rights and tosls to Allen's face from the sound of the bell, until Haley the referee stepped between the men and brought the one sided affair to a close. Allen was helpless, leanning against the ropes at the colse of the bout. The time was 2 minutes and seventeen seconds on the first round. "USING HIS HEAD' TO GOOD PURPOSES. THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN Joe Sterling of Harlem and Jimmy Sullivan of the West Side boxed four rounds to a draw. Sullivan, who was formerly an amateur boxing champion appeared to have a slight advantage, because of a well directed straight left to the nose that jarred Sterling to his heels every few seconds. Sterling made occasional efforts with a right wing, which shook Sullivan several times. Sullivan was entitled to the verdict. (New York Herald, Sept. 28, 1922.) --- A. M. E.CHURCH NEWS.

KEMAL SEIZES ENTIRE NEUTRAL ASIA ZONE EXCEPT BRITISH Army now Up Against Intrenchments at Chanak; No Shots Yet Fireed; Sultan Reported Abdicated in Favor of Heir. Constantinople, Sept. 28.—(Associat ed Press.)T he Turks have occupied the entire neutral zone on the Asiatic side of the Dardanelles, with the exception of the Chanak area, around which they have established infantry units in a semi-circle, virtually investing the British lines. The Turkish cavalry squadrons are retiring and the British troops, who are in strong force at Chanak, are ready for what may happen. In these circumstances General Harrington, the British commander in chief, has sent a wireless message to Kemal Pasha at Suyrra asking for an immediate personal meeting. He leaves the choice of place to Kemal, whose reply is expected momentarily. (A report sent to Paris by the Havas correspondent at Constantinople say, the Sultan of Turkey has abdicated in favor of Prince Abdul Medjid Effendi, the heir apparent.) Yussuf Kenal Pasha, the Nationalist Foreign Minister, is understood to have gone to Angora to submit the allied joint note to the Nationalist Assembly, but in the menutime Turkish concentrations are being pushed with the greatest speed. BRITISH RUSH REINFORCEMENTS British reinforcements are reaching here and the threatened area. The sure perreadhoughts Revenge and Revolution, the most powerful fighting machines afloat, have arrived in the Dardanelles, while a battalion of North Staffordshire and 1,000 men of the British air forces landed today and marched through Constantinople with bands playing. Their presence has helped to bring about a reassuring effect. The Turkish instructions to the men in the Chanak sector are to advance the furthest possible without meeting resistance. They are now practically against the British intrenchments and obviously the situation cannot be indoinitely prolonged. Notwithstanding the Kemalist concentrations around Chanak, however, the British are confident, of holding their lines against all odds. They declare that their flanks are well protected by the fleet. The battleships, with their 16-inch guns can sweep the whole area around Chanak for a distance of twenty miles, and it is possible for the British to dismount some of their giant naval guns and use them for shore battles. The Turks at present have only machine guns in the Chanak area. If they brought up heavy artillery the security of Chanak might be seriously challenged, the British admit, but the intrenchments in this sector are so used to be more efficient than any used in the world war. Since September 11 2,000 men from the labor squad, 1,000 from the fleet, and several thousand from the army have been steadily building trenches and setting up gun emplacements. Two thousand British marines and Grenadier Guards and two battalions of Dorsets are due here tomorrow SULTAN ABDICATES Paris, Sept. 22.—Mohammed VI., Sultan of Turkey had abdicated in favor of the heir apparent. Prince Abdul Medjid Effenuf, according to a report sent by the Havas correspondent at Constantinople. The news, he adds, has not yet been officially announced. Prince Abdul Medjid who is a cousin of the Sultan was born in 1668. London, Sept. 28.—(Associated Press—The Sultan of Turkey has abdicated according to a Reuter dispatch from Constantinople coming by way of Paris. ALLEGED TO HAVE DRIVEN 60 MILES AN HOUR. (Preston News Service.) Washington, D. C., Sept. 26—Albert R. Price, charged with speeding, was tried before a jury in Traffic Court here on Thursday and convicted.

The officer said that he chased Price on his motorcycle for fifteen blocks and then fled to overtake him. Nicola says the motor cycle does not have a specimen on it, but was geared to make eighty miles an hour. The policeman said that in the long run he failed to get any closer to Price than a block.

When you get low-spirited, you are half whipped before you start out with your undertaking. Every time they shove the colored folks down in one place, they "bob up screnely" in another. ```markdown ``` Some people believe in getting by on sympathy. Those kind of people usually constitute the failures in this world. The better class of white people believe in encouraging the better class of colored people. But God help the other class of both races. We are left out of many public enterprises in which we should partlet pate, but the time will come that we shall get there after a while. / You can win the favor and support of the white folks by pleasing them. You can win the favor and support on the colored folks by like treatment. It pays to have the favor and the support of both classes. Widening the gap between the white and colored folks in this country will not get us anywhere, but will tend to injure us as much as it is detrimental to the country to which we live. Both parties will be the sufferers. --- GARVEY'S CALL TO ARMS. The ifon. Mareus Garvey is using some plain language these days in the current issues of the Negro World. His highest deliverance under date of October 7th charges that rival enemy organizations are marshalling their forces against the mighty movement of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and will aid in the prosecution in the United States Court against him, which case will soon come to trial. He asserts that we are bankrupt in race leadership. We are of the opinion that the whole world just now is bankrupt in competent leadership. Certain it is that the Congress of the United States furnishes a most remarkable evidence that the United States is bankrupt in white leadership. The labor unions of the country have demonstrated that they are lacking in leadership. Demagogues of every type are in evidence in high places. We have been of the opinion that Marcus Garvey and his movement have been generally misunderstood by the upper class of colored people. He is not a citizen of the United States. He claims that this is a white man's government and that the Negro has no part or parcel in this Government. He is correct in this for the Constitution of the United States does not recognize Negroes as a part of this Government. It recognizes American citizens as a part and parcel of the Government and when the citizen of African descent, who was born here insists upon his rights and privileges under the aforesaid Constitution, he is within his rights. Hon. Marcus Garvey is an advocate of Negroism in its entirety. He wants to build up an empire or a republic in Africa, with all the power of the present Governments, which now control the civilized world. He is preaching the gospel of discontent, which gospel rallies to his banner thousands of dissatisfied black people, throughout the civilized world. Mr. Garvey realizes and knows that the revolution must be started among Negroes, who have been blessed by civilization. He knows that a full realize --- tion of his hopes cannot be brog nge about during his lifetime. But what about the tens of thousands of citizens of color, who hold lightly the racial characteristics and movements? These are the ones, who are antagonizing the Garvey movement for the reason that Negro-hating white people are using the Garvey declarations to justify the racial discriminations, which are antagonistic to the fundamental principles of the Republic itself. This produces a most embarrassing situation. We had hoped that these classes would agree to disagree, that no deeds fight so to speak would take place between them. As the matter now stands, Marcus Garvey is calling his followers to arms, against the powerful movement which is gaining momentum in this country against his propaganda. We are still of the opinion that a basis of mutual understanding can be reached, by which each side may pursue its own course in peace. The citizen of color with American citizenship sealed with the blood of his fellows knows no flag but the stars and stripes. He has suffered in silence and is still suffering. Will he renounce his American citizenship and follow the colors of the red, black and green? This is the question and the revolution, which the Hon. Marcus Garvey is fomenting may result in the consumption of a hope existing in the breasts of some black leaders many centuries ago. POPULAR NOMINEES IN NEW YORK STATE. The situation in New York State is interesting, to say the least. The Republican Convention in session at Albany September, named Gov. Nathan L. Miller as candidate to succeed himself and the Democrats, in convention assembled named as his political opponent for the same office, Ex-Gov. Alfred E. Smith. Viewed from an impartial standpoint, it is doubtful if the majority either way will bearge and the Republicans will have the time of their lives in holding control of the State. The Democratic nominee is deservedly popular and his former administration won for him hearty support from the people of New York State. Governor Miller is as strong a candidate as the Republicans could have named and if he cannot wifi in November, no other Republican can successfully carry the banner of Republicanism to victory. The only way Governor Alfred E. Smith has been defeated was by a Republican landslide, the kind that landed Hon. Warren G. Harding in the White House at Washington. We should not wonder, but what both of these candidates have the presidential bee "in their bonnets." Whether either of them is of presidential size is hardly a question in view of the peculiar attitude and action of presidential nominating conventions in recent years. One thing is certain, the colored vote will be "split, wide open" in the contest, for both of the nominees are regarded as having no antipathy to the "brother in black" and Tammany Hall has been making steady inroads upon the colored contingent in the Empire State. Certain it is that politicians in that neighborhood will "roost high" between this time and election day and the result will furnish interesting information, to those, who have been regarding the racial political question with peculiar interest. --- A SENATORIAL CANDIDATE. The Republican State Convention, which met at True Reformers first last Monday night saw fit to place Editor Matt N. Lewis, in the field as candidate for United States Senate. He did not hesitate to accept the honor and promised to make a canvass of the State during the brief period intervening between now and the time of the election. He stands squarely upon the platform enunciated by the party last year and pledges to observe the fundamental principles of the Republican Party without regard to race, color or religious scruples. We are of the opinion that a wiser choice could not have been made. Mr. Lewis is an old campaigner and he is in a position to render a good account of himself. Conditions are such that the colored people, who believe in the fundamental principles of the Republican Party cannot vote unless they have some one on the ticket for whom they wish to vote. This phase of the subject is met in Mr. Matt N. Lewis's candidacy. He edits the Newport News Star and this will furnish to him a support, which will be all important in this contest. Let us give him our enthusiastic support, "with malice towards none and charity for all." By so doing, we can at least maintain our self-respect and serve notice to the Republicans of the country that the Old Guard stands ready to do their duty and to meet the issues as they are presented to them. Matt N. Lewis is our candidate for United States Senator. Let us rally as one man and support him.

Clark, executive secretary of the Pitsburgh branch, the conference will be replete with information and discussions of important social problems affecting both races in large centers throughout the country. Leaders in social service work and figures of national prominence will take part in the various discussion to come before the conference. Mr. Clark said: "The Urban League Conference to be held October 17 to 20 inclusive will begin its three day session with a public meeting in the Schenley High School auditorium, October 17 at $ P. M. An unusually interesting program will be presented to the Pittsburgh Public. There will be speakers of national prominence and distinction. President of the National Urban League, Hon. L. Hollingsworth Wood, will preside. The two principal speakers will be Dr. Carter G. Woolson, who is the editor of the "Journal of Negro History,' which was awarded the sum of $25,000 by the Rockefeller Foundation Fund. Dr. Woodson is an eloquent and forceful speaker and represents the younger intellectual group of Negroes; Mr. Homer Folks, another speaker is one of the most capable and prominent students of social problems in America and was elected president of the National Conference of Social Workers at its meeting in Providence, R. L., last June. The public is cordially invited to attend these meetings. Prominent social workers from all parts of the country will attend the conference. Associate Justice Louis D. Brandies will be the principal speaker at one of the sessions." EFFICIENT MAIRDRESSERS ARE STILL IN DEMAND. (Preston News Service.) Pittsburgh, Pa., Oct. 5.—In discussing the opportunities for race women last Monday night Miss Jennie M. Proctor, 600 Fifth avenue said: "During the war a large number of Negro women was employed in white hardhairing establishments and had an opportunity to learn the latest mechads, as white girls left the establishments and went into other lines of employment where they could make more money. White patrons like colored workers, and I can place a large number of competent girls. I would like to hear from some girls who desire to come to this city. Good salary and pleasant work. Our girls must hold these positions." MAN GOES OUT TO SPREAD JOY, LANDS IN HOSPITAL. (Preston News Service.) Little Rock, Ark., Oct. 5.—Savannah Bowers, who was brought to the City hospital last Thursday night shortly before midnight, bleeding profusely from a wound in the forehead, is said to have just returned to the city from a job out-of-town with a big bank roll. Bowers planned to spend a wild night with the ladies in the redlight district. But during his night of frolic he told the police that he was "touched" for his bank roll and when he accused the woman in whose company he was at the time, she is said to have attacked him with a large knife. The police say that Bowers could not give them the name of the woman, nor could he give them the location of the house where the altercation occurred. The authorities believe that Bowers knows the woman and the place where he had the trouble. They are holding him on a charge of disturbing the peace pending the arrest of the unknown woman.

Memphis, Tenn., Oct. 6.—A refusal to rush to the rear of a street car to make room for a white woman cost Harrison Femmery aged 25 years, his life. Femmery, it is said, riding on a crowded street car from the fair grounds last Tuesday evening was ordered by a white passenger, T. B. Mills to move to the rear of the car to sit down. Femmery's reluctance to obey caused the trouble. A policeman boarded the car and pressed a pistol against Femmery's side, but Femmery took his time and the officer fired. White witnesses claimed that Femmery attempted to draw a revolver. MADAM IDA B. JEFFERSON, A WIDOW LADY EVANGELIST 10TH EPISCOPAL DISTRICT A. M. R.

The amount is stated in the following extract from the decree signed by the able Judge of the Richmond Chancery Court—: ; But how much more is needed? The Receivers assert that they cannot determine this amount until all the pass-books of the depositors have been turned in and balanced. To meet this condition the depositors, in meeting assembled, by unanimous vote, decided to share in any liability in excess of the amount already ascertained. This relieves the situation and enables the Receivers to strike a balance and submit the same to the Court with such a recommendation as may, in their judgment be fair to the people whom they represent. This then will necessarily end the delay as the Receivers have been unofficially reported to be in favor of re-opening the Bank and willing to do all in their power to help the colored people of this community. The issue is plain. Personal feeling and animosities should not figure in this matter.

OP ye oe JOHN MITCHELL, JR. BRITISH FEAR TURKS SCREEN BIG ADVANCE. Massing of Cavalry in Neutral Zone May Conceal Infantry Behind It. London Lelighted at Decision to Send More United States Warsbips to Straits. --- Feverish military preparations by both the british and the turkish to advance their rights in any eventualities have revived the war scare here, and the situation tonight is regarded as more critical than before the war agreement was reacquired. The british view with the greatest annoyance the developments in three directions—the Daraugenes, Ismid and Tirrace—while Mustapha Kuma, perhaps "strategically" is delaying his response to the conference invitation. The Cabinet with the chiefs of the several services, studied the problem for six hours in three settings today. They discussed contingencies and wri meet again to morrow. In the meantime Constant, noople is As one oheciat told The New York Her ald correspondent, "Anything is Like to happen at any hour." The happiest omen, in British eyes, is the American decision to send a fleet of warships to Constantinople to guard American interests. It is reaitsed that the Americans would not be drawn into any fighting but with substantial re-enforcements Old Gory would, officials believe, be a symbol of peace that would have a valuable moral effect. The British welcome the move as signifying America cooperation for peace and security which they say they likewise are trying to preserve KEMAL CONCENTRATING Concentration of the Kemalists along the neutral borders and their systematics in pressing forward are regarded here as the most sinister development yet. Kemal's reply to Gen. Harrington is accepted as evasive and unsatisfactory and it is feared he is trying to provoke an incident. The Government has sent instructions to Gen. Harrington to exercise the greatest patience in dealing with the highly critical situation and to do everything possible to avoid hostile consequences. Gen. Harrington's answer to Kemal is applauded here for its tact and modulation. Fears are entertained for Constantiople because of reports of Turkish divisions massing about Ismid. This is taken as a threat to the city. The Turks are known to have stores and ammunition there and the danger of an uprising that might put the torch to the whole Near East is not minimized. It is understood the allied forces in Constantinople number 30,000. Whether in the event of an uprising the British would retire to Gallipoli could not be ascertained in Downing Street tonight. The British are keeping the closest vigil in the Chanak area, where they suspect the Turks of using incursions of cavalry as a screen behind which to assemble their infantry. But the British are now in a more comfortable position with aerial units fully equipped and ready to operate, as the result of the timely arrival of airplane carriers. So far as known the neutral zone about Ismid has not yet been invaded, but the Turks' movements are proving exceedingly irritating. Still, the British are resolved to employ the utmost caution to avoid provocative action, because there is a chance that Kemal's delay has no anterior motive, but is caused by slow communication. The British also are hopeful that Franklin Boulion will be able to straighten out matters, as unofficial allied intercessor with Kemal; and they think that if the storm does not break in the next day or two it will blow over. ANSWERING COMPLAINTS OF KEMAI Kemal's complaint that Gen. Harrington seized and destroyed many buildings between Chanak and Eren Keln, as well as destroyed stores of arms and ammunition, is not accurate, it is stated here. These were destroyed by the Allies in concert in 1920, when it was decided to demilitarize the straits. There has been no seizure of buildings, but civilians anxious to leave have been assisted in doing so. Another matter that Kemal complained of—that he was not permitted to use the Sea of Marmora—is answered here by the statement that Great Britain declared her strict neutrality as between the Turks and the Greeks in their war and would not permit Greek warships in Marmora. She there fore ordered them to leave whereupon they did so. If the Angora Government wants to send armed ships into that sea obviously the Greek fleet must be permitted the same privilege. The abdication of Constantine is regarded as adding to the complications, as it is feared it will increase Kemal's temptation to invade Thrace at all costs before the Greek army can be reunited under the enthusiasm of a new Government. The British are not much concerned who shall succeed Constantine, but they would welcome the return of Venizelos, because they feel that a man of his power would excerct a peaceful influence. Notwithstanding the grave view held in Ministerial circles it is unkempt that Parliament will be summoned immediately unless some serious development arises, but the Government is keeping this constantly in mind. There has been considerable reversal of opinion on the part of the press and the man in the street as to the shipment of reinforcements from here the public finding relief in the fact that it is now most unlikely that the British forces can be surrounded and humiliated. The Evening Standard says: "While hoping for the best, we cannot help feeling most satisfactory things about the whole matter and the speed and promptitude with which the British forces in the Near East have been strengthened." (New York Herald, Sept. 28, 1922.) THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND. VIRGINIA PEACE DELIVERED MONDAY. (By G. Ward Price.) Constantinople, Sept. 22.—Mustapha Kenal received the joint allied note in vitting him to a peace conference only at 10 o'clock Monday morning. He is thought to have issued orders to its troops to make a reconnaissance incursion into the Chanak neutral zone before the allied offer reached him. This is believed to be the explanation for Tuesday's appearance of Turkish cavalry at Lapsakl, inside the zone, in addition to the cavalry division which has established itself at Eren Kol. As it was essential for the retention of the hot cover the straits and the safety of the British fleet, here that the Kenalists should not be allowed to bring up guns to the shore, which they have virutally reached, a strong worded demand for their withdrawal was sent to Kenal. At one time 7 o'clock yesterday morning was the limit set, by which hour Kenal must retire under pain of being attacked. But it was learned that it would take Kenal, who is at Smyrna, forty-eight hours to convey the necessary orders to his commanders on the spot, so no definite ultimatum has yet been issued after all. Brig. Gen. Sir Charles Harrington, whom I saw today, said he was determined not to take any aggressive action until it was clear beyond all possible doubt that the Turkish troops are intended as a screen behind which guns were being brought up to attack the British position at Chanak and threaten the safety of our ships passing through the Dardanelles. Commodore Uwin, V. C., who was the director of naval transport in the Mediterranean during the war, has arrived here from England to resume his old duties. British guns from Malta are now mounted on the Gallipoli peninsula. The latest estimate of Kemara's strength places his forces between 69,000 and 100,000 bayonets, organized in seven army corps. He is believed to have sixty airplanes. PROTESTS FORTIFICATIONS Constantinople, Sept. 28.—The Turkish Nationalists have notified the allied high command that they will not tolerate the fortification of certain points in the so-called neutral zones along the Dardanelles. Continuance of the work of fortification will be looked upon by the Kemalists as warranting military action, their representative, Hamid Bey, informed the allied commander, Brig. Gen. Harrington. London, Sept. 28.—A Smyrna dispatch through Paris tonight says that Kemal Pasha is disposed to accept the invitation to a peace conference, with certain reservations but that the Angora Assembly has voted a large war credit. All it is possible to say with confidence is that while peace has not yet been broken some unforeseen "theudent" may at any moment provoke hostilities. Yussuf Kemal Pasha is on the way to Angora to place the allied note before the National Assembly. Reuter's says it learns. It is unlikely that any reply to the note will be received before next week. An important concentration of British aircraft in the Near East is under way. An augmented squadron is on the way from Egypt for Constantinople, including sixteen first class machines and fifteen reserve planes. Another squadron of about forty machines left Malta with the fleet and it is reported three more squadrons are in readiness for immediate depar, ure. Malta, Sept. 28.—The British super-dreadnoughts Ramillies is taking on oil fuel here today preparatory to leaving for the Near East. Smyrna, Sept. 22.—The Turkish Government intends to use the Greek prisoners, who exceed 70,000 in number, in the work of reconstruction in the devastated regions. (New York Herald, Sept. 28.)

Yes, the owners of the Mechanics Savings Bank, representing approximately three hundred individuals, the depositors, representing about three thousand, not including the holders of Christmas Savings Club Cards, the white and colored people of this city, who are vitally interested in retaining the confidence of the colored people of this community and the good opinion of the white and colored people of the United States, are waiting. They all want to know the approximate amount of the assets to re-open the Mechanics Savings Bank. The amount is stated in the following extract from the decree signed by the able Judge of the Richmond Chancery Court- 'And it being represented to the Court that the closing of said bank by the plaintiff was because of the presence in its assets of obligations of the Bonded Realty Company, Inc., amounting to the sum of $83,500.00, which are not secured to the satisfaction of the plaintiff and it being further represented to the Court that there is a reasonable prospect of the defendant being able, within a short time, of satisfying the plaintiff as to said obligations of the Bonded Realty Company, Inc., and as to the entire solvency of said bank, it is further ordered that said receivers be authorized and instructed to report to the Court, at the earliest possible date, together with a statement of the assets and liabilities of said bank, such offers and plans as may be submitted to them by the defendants, or others on its behalf, with a view of satisfying the requirements of the plaintiff and effecting a prompt discharge of said receivers, and the return of the assets of said Mechanics' Savings Bank, of Richmond, Va. to its proper authorities.' But how much more is needed? The Receivers assert that they cannot determine this amount until all the pass-books of the depositors have been turned in and balanced. To meet this condition the depositors, in meeting assembled, by unanimous vote, decided to share in any liability in excess of the amount already ascertained. This relieves the situation and enables the Receivers to strike a balance and submit the same to the Court with such a recommendation as may, in their judgment be fair to the people whom they represent. This then will necessarily end the delay as the Receivers have been unofficially reported to be in favor of re-opening the Bank and willing to do all in their power to help the colored people of this community. The issue is plain. Personal feeling and animosities should not figure in this matter. Let us re-open the Mechanics Savings Bank in order that those depositors who are urgently in need of some of their money may be able to get it and those who wish to deposit their savings may be permitted so to do. The depositors stand pledged not to make any run on the Bank Other issues and conditions can be met as they are presented The primary purpose at this time is to do business again. Let us ascertain the approximate amount of liability, put up the assets necessary and with the aid and support of the good white people and the self-sacrificing colored ones, backed by an abiding faith in the Almighty God, let us re-open the Bank.

Agents Wanted Everywhere THE PLANET, 311 N. Fourth Street Long Distance Telephone, Randolph 2213. Richmond, Va. Washington, D. C., Sept. 26.—Accommitee, consisting of R. M. Nixon, Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Dr. Creed Childs, Rev. Emory Smith and Mrs. Mary Church Terroll, had a conference with Secretary Weeks of the War Department Thursday afternoon with reference to the proposed bathing beach for Negroes on Columbia Island. They declared that Columbia Island is practically inaccessible and otherwise unsuitable for the purpose. Outside of its distance from the city, it was stated that it could be utilized only by the operation of a ferry from the Virginia shore. It was suggested by the committee that in view of the long waterfront of the city and the large area of the tidal basin, it ought not to be difficult to find a more suitable place for the beach than the Virginia shore. Secretary Weeks, who has final jurisdiction said he would give the question full consideration and see that the colored people were protected in their rights in the matter. These vigorous protests have been made to the War Department against the establishment of the colored bathing beach, for which Congress appropriated $25,000 on Columbia Island, opposite the agricultural experimental station, on the Arlington restitution. Colonel Sherrill, the engineer officer in charge of public buildings and grounds, had selected a small area at the eastern end of the island as the site for the bathing beach for colored people. He had authorized building operations to begin early last spring, but finally discontinued because of the strong opposition brought to bear by leading race men and women of the District of Columbia.
