THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia State Library VOLUME XXXIX. NO. 49 RICHMOND VIRGINIA SATURDAY OCTOBER 14, 1923 THE I-R COMMISSION FIGHTS FOR JUSTICE IN GEORGIA (By Inter Racial News Service.) Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 10.—(Special.) The Georgia Commission on Inter-Racial Cooperation, under the leadership of Dr. T. J. Wolfter, is waging a vigorous campaign against mob violence and injustice and for the development of a public sentiment that will insure the protection of the life and property of every citizen, irrespective of color. Governor Dorsey's astounding exhibit of lynchings and other injustices were published and widely circulated by the Commission and created a profound impression. The Commission has drafted and is working hard for the enactment of an effective anti-lynching law. Meantime many cases of mob violence and injustice have been investigated by the Commission and legal aid has been extended in a number. Among the latter may be mentioned the notorious Williams "murder farm" case, which the Commission helped to prosecute and in which convictions were secured; the case on Tom Parks whose farm was saved from fraudulent foreclosure; the release of a Negro boy who was held in service without pay and brutally treated; the case of Asbury McClucky, now pending, in which a mob attached McClusky's home, wounded him, and tried to drive him from the community. The Commission has identified members of this mob and filed a $50,000 damage suit against them. As much publicity as possible has been secured in these and other cases and good results are accruing. It is notable that in two recent lynchings indictments have been returned and in one of them convictions have been so cured. This indicates that great progress is being made. Some of the best legal talent in Georgia is giving every possible aid to the Commission. New York.—Edward Rich and his wife of 52 Dwight street, Jersey City, formally refused yesterday afternoon in the office of George R. Murray, Overseer of the Poor for Bergen County, to accept the baby girl born in the Bergen Sanitarium two months ago which the hospital and the county authorities contend is theirs. The Riches, however declare that their baby was a boy and that they were told so by the attending physician and by a nurse a week after the child was born. After they had refused the child, Overseer Murray produced warrants charging them with abandonment and with failure to provide. The matter will be threshed out this morning in the First Criminal Court before Judge Leo Sullivan. The baby that has caused all the trouble was born prematurely and immediately after birth was sent to the Mothers' Institute where it was kept in an incubator until it had gained normal strength. Later it was brought back to the hospital and given to Mrs. Rich but she would not accept it, saying she had been told that the baby born was a boy. The child then was turned over to the Overseer of the Poor and kept in the institute until yesterday when the hearing was held in Mr. Murray's office. Mrs. Rich told the Oversersey yesterday that to keep the child alive she had been nursing it and that both she and her husband will be willing and glad to accept it if it could be proved that it is the one born to Mrs. Rich in the sanitarium. They said that they are acting on the advice of their lawyer and on their own conviction that the child is not theirs. Rich is a chief accountant in the ofices of the Underwood Typwriter Company. He and his wife were married in 1921 and the baby born two months ago is their first child. Jersey Cly, N. J., Oct. 9.—Edward Rich and his wife today accepted a girl baby as the child born to them re cently at the Bergen Sanatorium convinced at last that their wish alone had inspired belief that their child was a boy. The parents were held on a charge of abandonment last week when they flatly refused to accept the girl baby, insisting some one at the hospital hae mixed up new-born babies and given them the wrong one. The case was referred to Mayor Hague as arbitrator. Today the Mayor examined several witnesses before the parents and they finally said they were convinced the girl baby was theirs. Margaret Mitchell a nurse at the Bergen Sanatorium where the child was born, admitted she had first listed the child on Mrs. Rich's chart as a male, but said this was a mistake which she quickly corrected. Other hospital employees also testified Mrs. Rich's child was a girl. DIES AT AGE OF 114 YEARS. Lynchburg, Va. Oct. 4.—Louise Moore colored who claimed to be 14-years old died at the city home here late Tuesday. Her age seems to have been well authenticated. If true the old woman lived under every President of the United States save Washington Adams and Jefferson. THE DOINGS OF THE Y. M. C. A.

E. Martineau yesterday denied the petition of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, the Ancient Egyptian Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, a Negro order, on the ground that the white lodge has waited too long to prevent the Negroes from using the name and emblems of the organization. The case is styled "Frank Nedley et al vs. W. H. Smith et al." The white lodge asked that the Negroes be enjoined from using a name similar to its organization. Chancellor Martineau based his refusal to grant the injunction on an opinion of the Supreme Court of the United States in which it was held that if a lodge waged beyond a reasonable length of time to take such action it is not justified in bringing legal proceedings. Chancellor Martineau reviewed the history of the two orders. He said the white lodge was organized in 1872, and the Negro lodge in 1893. The Negroes continued to organize lodges until 1901 he said, when a convention was held in Washington, D. C., and the order was incorporated. He said the Little Rock lodge has been in existence here since 1907 and that no action was taken to prevent the use of the name and insignias. The first Negro lodge of Masons was organized in 1770 by the English in Massachusetts he said, and it was incorporated in 1784 since which time there has been no serious effort to prevent the Negroes from organizinas Masonic lodges. Although nothing was said about the secret work of the local Negro lodge, it is reported that the names of officers, secret work and emblems are practically the same as those of the white lodge. Charles Jacobson attorney for the white Shriners, announced last night that the case will be appealed to the Supreme Court. WHITE SOUTHERNER PRAISES NEGRO CHARACTER. A white Southernner, Archibald Rutledge, writing in the August 23rd number of "The Outlook" published at 381 Fourth Avenue, New York, gives one of the most encouraging and friendly pictures of Negro home life that has appeared in recent years, according to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Under the title, "By The Black Heartstone," Mr. Rutledge tells visits to an old colored man, a friend with whom he had hunted in boyhood. "I want to hear testimony." says Mr. Rutledge, "that the Negro has the grace of heart to be as genuinely courteous as any man who walks the earth. And by courteous I do not mean merely kindly and hospitable, I mean that he can sense the fitness of things and that he knows something or the reticences and the deferences of the heart. I take it that courtesy of this sort is an exciting authentic sign of character; and I know that I have found high and gentle courtesy in the Negro." Mr. Rutledge further, after a convincing description of his Negro friend and the charming house in which he lives; assails the caricature of the race spread in motion pictures and magazines "Inevitably he will be shown to be cowardly, absurd, pifering, scheming, creulous, preposterous. If the characterizations were true, they might be ludicrous; but nearly all of them are shamelessly false. Long have I been amazed that the American public should be for so great a length of time so deeply deluded. The popular idea of the Negro is as menacing to his and to the country's welfare as it is essentially false." "Woman's Dollar Rally Day." 9:30 A. M. Sunday School. 11:30 A. M.

Norfolk, Va., Oct. 10.—Marine men assert that the Gulf Stream is thirty miles nearer shore than it was ten months ago. To this they attribute the hot wave now sweeping the country. Navy men agree with the marine men and say they believe the stream has swung into another course, despite the fact that scientists are skeptical or disagree on the question. It is the theory, however, that the change in the Gulf Stream's course has been brought about by storms and other sea causes rather than by any construction work on the Florida East Coast Railroad along the Florida Keys. The marine men declare that the fact that the weather now is almost at a July temperature is due to the warm water of the Gulf Stream being so near the shore. One day out from Norfolk the weather is so hot men on ships can work on the open decks in their under-shirts and then be uncomfortably warm. Buckets of water dipped up out of the Gulf Stream by the crew of the steamship Eastern Trader was $60 hot a hand could not be kept in it for more than a minute without danger of having the skin blistered. The Gulf Stream it is said affects the weather for the reason that when, it is nearer shore it has the effect of cooling storms at sea before the wind reaches the coast. With the stream following the Virginia Capes, cold winds passing over the warm water are warmed for the time, but again be come cool before reaching the shore. It is reported that expert weather men employed by the Government will obtain from sea currents the actions of the Gulf Stream at the present time for the purpose of arriving at some comprehensive opinion of just what effect the freak stream of warm water hundreds of miles at sea has on the weather on shore. CHILDREN HAVE QUARREL OVER CHESTNUTS; TWO SHOT DOWN Lynchburg, Va., Oct. 5.—A quarrel over chestnuts was the cause of the shooting of two children here this afternoon by the sister of one of the participants in the argument. Denny Wright 10 years old and Billy Simpson 11 years old, were seriously wounded by the shot from a shotgun. The Wright boy is in the Memorial Hospital with a bad wound in the neck and the Simpson lad is at his home under the treatment of physclients. The girl alleged to have done the shooting is named Mason. The police department claimed to have no other information about the shooting at 10 o'clock tonight. NEGRO LEADERS BACK THE EIGHTEENTH AMENDMENT NEGRO LEADERS BACK THE EIGHTEENTH AMENDMENT Nashville, Tenn., Oct. 6. (Special.)—That the Negro leadership of America stands squarely for the maintenance and enforcement of the Federal prohibition amendment is clearly evidenced by the big National Conference on Temperance, Public Morals and Law Enforcement, which is in session here this week. Delegates to the number of several hundred are gathered from all parts of the country and are being addressed by scores of representative Negro leaders of all professions and denominations. Every speech sounds the unmistakable note of loyalty to the constitution and the laws of the land and calls the race to stand like flint against all who would set them at naught. Special emphasis is laid up on the duty of the pulpit, the schools and the press to pass the challenge on to every citizen. As expressive of the mind of the conference on the subject of prohibition the following telegram was by unanimous vote ordered sent to Hon. Roy Haynes, the Federal Prohibition Commissioner, "This conference, representing every section of the Negro population, is committed to the high resolution of helping in every way possible the effective enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment and the Volesteat Law." Education, juvenile, delinquency, the cigarette habit, the use of drugs, vice prevention, lynching and other topics of vital importance are being vigorously treated, also. The audiences running often to a thousand or more, are giving the closest attention, sitting through the long sessions daily and evidence constantly their hearty approval. The conference, while thoroughly interdenominational, was planned by the Methodist Board of Temperance, Prohibition and Public Morals and was promoted and arranged by Dr. J. N. C. Coggin of that Board. This is the first national law conference of Negroes ever held and is expected to have far-reaching consequences as the beginning of a general crusade among the race in the interest of sobriety, good citizenship and righteous government. At this writing Dr. J. E. Jones of the Virginia Union University is critically ill. Dr. Jones has served as Professor of the Virginia Union University continuously for 47 years. —Mrs. Mary Taylor of New Rochelle N. Y., was in the city this week. She had been to Goldsboro, N. C., to bury her uncle. Y. W. C. A. NOTES. SUNDAY, OCTOBER, 15, 4 TO 5 P. M. The Young Girl and Her Religion. Miss Hazel Tyler, chairman of Girls Work Committee, Phyllis Wheatley Branch presiding.

Acting Klan Head Accused of Using the Mails to Defraud. E. Y. Clarke Indicted by United States Grand Jury at Atlanta. Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 5.—E. Y. Clarke, imperial wizard pro tem of the Ku Klux Klan, was indicted by the United States grand jury here today on charges of "using the mails to effect schemo to defraud." He was released on bond of $500. The chargeg against Mr. Clarke, who yesterday announced his resignation as pro tempore head of the Klan to take effect November 10, are based according to the true bill rendered by the grand jury on alleged use of the mails in collecting money from certain members, subordinate officers and employees of the Ku Klux Klan on the pretence that such money would be used to pay premiums to surety companies furnishing bonds for these Klansmen. The indictment alleged that the sums collected were in excess of the amount required to pay such premiums, and that this excess was converted to the personal use and benefit of Mr. Clarke. We need to commend Miss E. A. Logan our energetic superintendent of the Mt. Calvary Baptist Sunday School with her corp of officers, for their leadership in keeping the school together. Mrs. L. T. Best., the Cradle Roll superintendent is also doing fine work. We listened to some very en courageing remarks last Sabbath from the Rev. M. Fuller, Mrs. L. T. Best and Prof. G. D. Hancock. Owing to the funeral service at Dacon George' Manning of the Rising Mt. Zilon Baptist church our congregation fell off a great deal during the morning. We all wished we could have did away with services and attended the funeral of our brother, who has been a great help to the pastors or Fulton by his expressions, when they were preaching the Gospel of Christ. Notwithstanding that we had a great time and our hearts were lifted up, while listening to Pref. G. D. Hancock of the Va. Union University. We had a fine gathering at the night services and our hearts were set aglow while we sat and listened to another great sermon preached by Prof. Hancock. We thank Rev. Simms for urging the people to come over and hear Prof. Hancock. Many of his mem bers were present including Deacon Herbert White, who is also the leader of Zion Choir. He took an active part with the choir. Let us come out tomorrow. We expect to have Prof. Hancock with us all day. Good singing will be had by the choir. Remember the Rally terminates on the 5th Sunday. The deacon board is doing good work. Wm. Jones chairman. Beverly Valentine secretary. We made a mistake last week in mentioning the dinner given in honor of Mrs. Dr. Mayo, at the residence of Mrs. Lelia Johnson 3714 1-2 2nd street. The name should have been Mrs. Dr. Mills of Norfolk, Va. RISING MT. ZION NOTES At 11 o'clock last Sunday morning the funeral service of our beloved deacon, Brother George Manning wanheld at the above mentioned church. Brother Manning departed this life, Thursday at 7:00 A. M. His sincere christian spirit and constant service for his church and community was highly commented upon thru the excellent sermon by our beloved pastor. Rev. O. B. Simms, Regret is universal among those who know him and we can be consolled only by Him who does all things well. Death has been rampant among our members for are the cortege of Deacon Manning had rolled away the last remains of Mrs. Ophelia Harris daughter of the late deacon Gabriel Johnson was rolled into the church. Her life brought to an end so untimely wounded deeply the hearts of relatives and friends. The revival services began last Sun day under the direction of the pastor. It is our aim to make these services a great success, hence we are asking the hearty cooperation of relatives and friends. Miss Lillie White loft last week for Amelia County where she has accepted the position as teacher in that vicinity Mrs. C. L. Jackson has returned to her home in Wellsville, Ohio after having a three weeks stay with her aunt and sister, at 4000. Fulton St. PRICE, FIVE CENTS ERECTING A NEW BIG Y. M. C. A. BUILDING IN PITTSBURGH Pittsburgh,—"The greatest cooperative event in the history of the city, if not of the entire State." Thus an observer has described the participation of more than 10,000 people in the ceremonies attending the laying of the corner-stone of the Center Avenue Branch Building of the Y. M. C. A., which will be the second largest establishment of its kind in the country for colored men and boys. The cooperation of Pittsburgh citizens in this event of September 24th was an impressive demonstration of the spirit of partnership which is making possible this enlargement of service and facilities. It is accepted as an assurance of future interest, as well as an inspiration and challenge to those responsible for leadership in the work of the Center Avenue Branch. The new building will represent a total cost, including site and equipment, $250,000. It will embody all the facilities of a modern Association building—gymnasium, swimming pool and shower baths, dormitories, restaurant, boys' department, social hall, and quarters for religious and educational activities and entertainment features. White and colored citizens joined together to contribute the necessary funds, $25,000 coming from that wise and generous friend of such efforts in all parts of the land, Julius Rosenwald, of Chicago. The raising of funds to furnish the new building is the next task. Dr. J. B. Moorland, Senior Secretary of the Colored Men's Department of the Young Men's Christian Associations of North America, has been in Pittsburgh the past several weeks in connection with this part of the financial campaign. Every effort is being made during October to bring in all the necessary funds. It is hoped to do this entirely among the colored citizens themselves. It is interesting to note in this connection that of the $600,000 spent by the colored Associations in this country last year, $500,000 was given by their own group. The Center Avenue Branch Building is one of the features of the Forward Movement Program of the Y. M. C. A.' of Pittsburgh as inaugurated early in 1917, much of which has been delayed because of the war and the after-war high building costs. the laying of the corner-stone was preceded by a parade, participated in by patriotic and fraternal organizations. The Free and Accepted Masons of the Seventh District of Pennsylvania in were in charge of the laying of the stone. Following religious services, addresses were made by Judge Joseph Buffington, of the Circuit Court of Appeals and Dr. Moorland. "We are not here to dedicate a building." said Judge Buffington. "Brick and stone themselves mean nothing. We meet to consecrate ourselves to what this building signifies and to what its possibilities are." BOY DISLIKING SCHOOL BURNS UP TWO OF THEM. Hartford, Conn., Oct. 10.—The fire mystery, which for many weeks has excited the little town of Sharon and which followed the two incendary fires that destroyed the town's two school-houses was solved today with the arrest of Luke Degarmo, 15, a pupil in the grammar school. He confessed to the State police that he was responsible for the fires. His only reason he said, was because he did not care to go to school any longer. ON THE SOUTHSIDE Little Isabella Goobay, of 1617 Decatur Street celebrated her fifth year birthday party on the evening of October 3, 1922 and the little lads and lassies had "some more" fun.

S. TO HELP EUROPE SIX New York, Oct. 3.—Permanent prosperity for the United States can come if this country uses her resources Brains and money to help bring about a practical solution of the chaotic situation now threatening to destroy the economic life of Europe," declared Thomas B. McAdams of McChond, V.p. president of the American Bankers Association, speaking yesterday before the general session of the convention. Isolation and selfishness are not qualities of the true American, assured Mr. McAdams, and then he added: "I do not believe there is anything in the history or ideals of our people which can justify our failure to help a situation where our counsel and assistance are so essential to the restoration of world order." This pronouncement by the retiring president of the organization embracing in its membership 23,000 banks came at the end of speech that analyzed American problems of the moment; and of the future from both national and international viewpoints. Mr. McAdams summed up existing conditions in the world, four years after the armistice, "while we stand idly by, neither offering assistance nor making a suggestion." England, he said, despite the suspicion cast upon her motives, must be regarded as a stabilizing influence "in protecting the wrecks of European statehood from further demoralization." MAKES ALLOWANCE FOR FRANCE France cannot be blamed entirely for refusing "to assent to Germany's reconstructing her world trade at the expense of French industry," declare Mr. McAdams, "but, even so, the allied nations, if they would maintain the civilization for which they fought, must throw aside unnecessary prejudices and reach an agreement as to modifying reparation payments which will fairly care for the needs of France and at the same time not utterly demoralize the industrial life of Germany." After expressing the optimism he felt for the success of the November conference, suggested for discussion of world problems, Mr. McAdams said: "Has not the time arrived for the United States to cast aside her policy of aloofness and throw herself wholeheartedly into the situation, that a cure for social disorder and financial demoralization may be speedily devised? We may picture for ourselves all the prosperity which is in our grasp today, so far as our international situation is concerned, but we must realize there can be no permanency in it unless a sound foundation can be laid." Read The Richmond Planet --- upon which the structure of future international commercial relations may be safely built." Considering the case merely from the selfish point of view, said Mr. Adams—the need for world markets for excess products of our farms and factories—"there must come a realization of the need for our becoming aggressively active rather than passive submissive. Transcending merely selfish motives, there comes the distant call for us to our abundant resources, the strength of our isolation and our inherent ability to lead and inspire. POINTS TO OUR OBLIGATIONS. "It may be that Europe is not yet ready to have us participate or to accept conditions which necessarily must be laid down as a basis for our co-operation, but even so this does not relieve us of the obligations to offer to assist and so soon as possible to outline, as we see them, the essentials to an umlite mate solution of the situation." These essentials in the opinion of Mr. McAdams must be the further reduction of armaments, the balancing of the French budget, realization by France of the unlikelihood of new German military aggression, and the preparation by all countries for a readjustment of reparations and inter-allied debt "upon a basis which fully recognizes the rights of the creditor and which will relieve the immediate burden of the debtor countries." "England in discussing her indebtedness" said Mr. McAdams, "should not overlook the four hundred thousand and square miles of new territory she gained through the war and it must be remembered that America settled upon a basis of receiving nothing except the ultimate repayment of money advanced. "Complicated as the situation appears, it should be possible, through making a fair analysis of assets and liabilities, to prepare a readjusted balance sheet, which will prove acceptable and furnish a proper starting point, for the reawakening of international trade. SEES OUR OPPORTUNITY NOW "Though often deliberate in action, we have never failed to respond and render the maximum of service when once convinced of our duty. Such an opportunity is the present emergency. The determination of our international al policy, whatever it may be, should be based upon the broadest possible conception of service and should not be restricted or hampered by party platform or political expedency." Mr. McAdams, taking up class movements, admitted that many changes which have been made at the behest of the workingmen in the last quarter of a century have benefited not only the men themselves but employers. He de clared further his fear at certain of the tendencies of the day among the leaders of organized labor. He said: alties and restrictions even more severe than those against which in its inception it had with propriety protest ed. "Thus it was with the rench Revolution. A long suffering people sought relief from the innumerable burdens placed upon them by the ruling classes. at Hulber Aing Judge offended the den county marks in your al friend, and will ask you room." The court ing in the white) str "America will not condone such incidents as the recent massacre at Herrick where men were ruthlessly murdered because they dared work in positions voluntarily surrendered by others. Consultation, cooperation, arbitration as contrasted with commercial warfare are means which can most effectively solve our industrial disagreements and it should not be difficult to devise a piece of administrative machinery which will fairly determine questions in dispute and be clothed with the authority, based upon the interests of all people, to enforce its conclusions. The strike is no longer a local in old ent but thru nation-wide agreement has become a menace to the public wet fare and should be made subject to the laws protecting the people against oth er combinations in restraint of trade. Our present industrial difficulties are not so much incidents in the time worn fight between labor, organized and un organized. ALARMED BY LABOR'S DEMANDS "We must view with alarm the tendency of certain groups of organized labor," he said "to advance their claims for changed working conditions and their demands for the maintenance of the high standard of wages created through the necessities of war by treating these questions solely from the viewpoint of their own individual interest and without proper consideration of the public welfare, which must ever remain paramount. "There can be no question that men working with their hands in various industries have been able during the last quarter of a century to improve materially working conditions and secure correction of abuses and injustices which would have been impossible but for the power created through or organization. Many of these changes have proved beneficial to the employer as well as to the employee and salary rules and regulations are now in force in every well organized industry which would have been looked upon as revolutionary a few years ago. "Every far seeing American must view with sympathy a properly conducted movement which has for its motive the relief of distress and the increase of human happiness, provided that in its conduct it is equally as considerate of the rights of others as it is aggressive in the advocacy of its own policies. The danger in human organization, regardless of how meritorious may be its motive at the beginning, is that, having attained its objective, it will then come under the influence of unscrupulous leaders and impose pen alties and restrictions even more severe than those against which in its inception it had with propriety protested. "Thus it was with the rench Revolution. A long suffering people sought relief from the innumerable burdens placed upon them by the ruling classes. NO TRUE BILLS VS. PHYSICIANS. Federal Grand Jury Finds No Foundation for Prohibition Charges Against Thirteen Doctors Charges against thirteen physicians who were presented to the federal grand jury for alleged violation of the federal prohibition act were found to have no foundation in fact by the jury which made its report to Judge D.

Sale of Intoxicants on All United States Vessels Ordered to Cease. FOREIGN LINES ARE EXPECTED TO FIGHT. Will Seek Injunction Pending Supreme Court View on Issue. Washington, Oct. 6.—All vessels, American and foreign-owned, are prohibited from having liquor on board in American territorial waters under an interpretation of the prohibition amendment and the enforcement act, bended down today by the Department of Justice. Moreover, the transpo. one of intoxicants on American craft, wherever operated, was hold to be inhibited. American territorial waters were construed to include not only those within the three-mile limit of confi- nental United States, but also those within the same limit of the Philippines, the Hawaiian Islands, Porto Rico the Virgin Islands and Alaska. The law would not apply in the Panaman Canal zone as that zone is specifically exempted by the statute itself. LIQUOR SALES CEASE AT ONCE So far as the American ships are concerned the sale of transportation of liquor will cease at once or soon as those vessels reach their home ports. In the case of foreign ships the decision will become operative as soon as the necessary regulations can be prepared and promulgated by the Treasury Department. Court actions looking to a final determination of the application of American dry laws to foreign ships entering American ports was forseen by Attorney General Daugherty and Chairman of the Shipboard Board. Mr. Daugherty said he already had been advised that a case was about to be filed, which would bring, the issue to the Supreme Court. INJUNCTION FIRST MOVE Chairman Lasker was of the opinion that the first move of foreign lines would be to seek an injunction restraining the government from enforcing the law. He said it was reasonable to suppose that the courts would grant such an injunction with a result that foreign ships would continue to arrive with liquor on board until there was a final decision by the highest court. The Attorney-General said his department would co-operate in every effort to expedite a ruling by the Supreme Court. Publication of the opinion of the Department of Justice followed a White House Conference to which President Harding summoned Mr. Daugherty, Secretaries Hughes and Mellon and Chairman Lasker. Various phases of the situation were discussed including the possible results of enforcement, upon the international relations of the United States. MUST ENFORCE LAW High administration officials explained there was no course for the executive branch of the government, except to enforce the law as interpreted by the legal department. The interpretation was based upon recent decisions of the Supreme Court in a case involving the authority of the United States to interfere with the transfer of a liquor cargo from one foreign ship to another in an American port. In a divided opinion the court confirmed the authority of prohibition agents to prevent such a transfer and in the view of the Attorney-General, went so far as to hold that the eighteenth amendment and the Volstead act repealed a prior existing treaty with Great Britain. Chairman Lasker predicted that enforcement of the law would operate to an immediate disad vantage of the American merchant marine and would make more necessary enactment of the ship subsidy bill if the American flag was to say on the high seas. He believed the ruling would have great influence in Congress when the subsidy bill was taken up BELIEVE WILL HAMPER U. S. MARNES An undoubted effect of the enturement, Mr. Lasker said, would he to hamper the board in its efforts to build up American shipping to the Orient and South America. He expected Vancouver, British Columbia, to profit at the expense particularly of Seattle and Portland in the Oriental trade and Montreal at the expanse of New York in the South American trade. Also he looked for Montreal to gain over New York in the transatlantic trades. Irrespective of the decision of the Supreme Court the Shipping Board chairman said foreign shipping would have an advantage over American lines. As an illustration he said that even if the court should hold that foreign ships might not bring liquor into American territorial waters, they could sell up to the three mile limit on their inward voyage and dump over board any remaining stocks. PEAKS NEITHER AS "WET NOR In discussing the opinion, Mr. Lacker emphasized that he was viewing the situation as it existed and that he spoke neither as "a wet or as a dry." The sale of liquor on Shipping Board vessels was based on an opinion of the general counsel of the board who held that it did not contravene the prohibition laws. Opening of the ship's bars was ordered on a vote of the board, with Commissioner Fred Thompson casting the only disenticing Orders for enforcement of prohibition laws, as construed by Mr. Daugherty, were issued by President Harding late today. In a letter to Secretary Mollon the President, reheated that duo notice be given to the masters of all privately owned ships operating under the American flag, and that regulations for the enforcement as to foreign ships be formulated and that such notice be given to the agents of foreign lines "touching American ports or docking therein as becomes the circumstances and commits us to the full enforcement of the law." ALL, U. S. SHIPS GO DRY Writing to Mr. Lasker the executive said the transportation and the service of intoxicating liquors on all ships owned, operated or leased by the Ship ping Board "should be prohibited at once, and all transportation, either cargo or ship's stores, must cease at once on ships now in home ports and on ships at sea or in foreign ports immediately after docking in home ports. This will enable the disposal of ship's stores for the harmful purposes of the latter added. "The Secretary of the Treasury will issue equivalent notice to private ships under American operation." Quoting the Supreme Court to the effect that the intent of the national prohibition policy was to "stop the whole business" of trafficking intoxicants, the Attorney-General said the scope of the statutes enacted to carry out that policy undoubtedly must include all "territory subject to the jurisdiction of the United States." Thus such interpretation, he held, American ships, wherever they might be located would come under national laws. OPINION STRONGLY SUPPORTED Th opinion was supported by numerous quotations from decisions of the Supreme Court an interpretations or organic law. "I am of the opinion," Mr. Daugherty said, "that American ships wherever they may be, are included in the terms of the eighteenth amendment, 'territory subject to the jurisdiction' of the United States, so that manufature transportation or sale of intoxicating liquors for beverage purposes is prohibited thereon. To construe otherwise would, in my opinion, violate the unmistakable intent in its adoption, such intent clearly reduced a a study of circumstances out of which a Court and voiced by the Supreme Court in the Walker and Annor Line cases. "This interpretation is further supported by the many authorities that have held ships to be constructive territory' of the country whose flog they. Such decisions undoubtedly extend the protection as well as the inhibitions of the country's laws. "The national prohibition act is an act of general jurisdiction in force wherever the eighteenth amendment applies and the courts of the United States have jurisdiction to punish its violations on the high seas. "I am forced to the opinion under the ruling of the Walker and Anchor Line decisions, that foreign ships can bring intoxicating beverage liquors as ship stores or otherwise, within the three-mile limit of our shores are violating the provisions of the national prohibition act, prohibiting possession or transportation of intoxicating liquor for beverage purposes. The Supreme Court therein has held that it is not material that the liquors may not be intended for beverage uses with in the United States." The ruling published today was in answer to a request from Secretary Mellon, dated June 31, 1922 for advice as to whether the practice of selling Iguors on American ships on the high seas was permissable, and further whether possession of intoxicating Iguors by foreign shiggs in American waters in violation of the pronunciation laws. Mr. Daugherty replied to the first question in the negative and to the second in the affirmative. VIRGINIA—In the Clerk's Office of the Circuit Court of the County of Chesterfield, October 4, 1922.

Mudania, Oct. 10.—The Armistice convention was signed here tonight at 11 o'clock. The representatives of the powers concerned affixed their signatures to the revised protocol, which General Harington had presented, for acceptance to Ismet Pasha and which the Nationalist delegate forwarded to the Angola government for its decision. General Harington had informed Ismet Pasha that the convention embodied Great Britain's law word and that the other powers gave their unqualified support to the terms. On his part, Ismet had replied that he hope his government would accept the conditions set forth, and promised a reply by 5 o'clock in the evening. In the meantime the British commander returned to Constantinople where he remained until this afternoon, proceeding back to Mudania, on the Iron Duke to hear the Turk's decision. DISMAYED BY FRENCH ATTITUDE The Turkish -delegates were some what dismayed and disappointed over the turn of events in the past two days. The new attitude taken by France after the Paris conference puzzled them and they were unnazed that French friendship, on which they counted as a main prop in the negotiations did not yield the results they expected. At the session of the conference Monday night Ismet Pasha expressed dissatisfaction at the terms the allies offered. He said to General Harrington: "But your new armistice convention is a contradiction to the assurances given to me by General Charpy. The convention, instead of paving the way for peace only makes matters worse." General Harrington replied merely "General Charpy has assented to the terms." REVERTS AGAIN TO PARIS PROMISES After the close of the formal proceedings, Isaet, in the course of a conversation on the recurring subject of France's promises said: "It was on France's suggestions that we ceased our operations against the Greeks, France promising us favorable armistice terms. France's responsibility there is considerable. Our agreement is reached our army will insist on marching into Thrace, but every day's delay—caused by our reliance on favorable armistice promises—diminishes our military ad vantage." TEXT OF CONVENTION TERMS The convention as submitted to the Nationalists, contains these specifications: 1. That the Greek evacuation of Thrace shall be carried out within about fifteen days. 2. That the Greek civil authorities including the gendarmes, shall be 3. That as the Gréck authorities withdrawn as soon as possible. 4. That this transfer shall be wholly concluded throughout Eastern Thrace within a minimum of thirty days, the Greek troops has been concluded. LIMITS ARMED TURK FORCES 6. That the civic authorities of the Angola-government shall be accompanied by such forces of the National gendarmerie as are strictly necessary for the maintenance of law, order and local security. The total strength of these officers and men shall be left to the discretion of the Nation alists, subject to approval by the allies. 6. That the various operations in the withdrawal of the Greek troops and the transfer of the civil administration shall be carried out under the direction of the interalied missions located in the principal centers. These missions will do their utmost to prevent excesses of any kind. 7. That in addition to these missions allied contingents will occupy Eastern Thrace. These contingents amounting to about seven battalions will insure the maintenance of law and order and act in support of law instruited missions. ALLIES WITHDRAW IN MONTH 8. That the withdrawal of the inter-illied missions and contingents will occur in thirty days after the completion of the evacuation of the Greek forces. This evacuation may occur earlier, provided the allied governments are agreed that adequate provision has been made for the maintenance of law, order and the protection of the non-Turkish population. If the Turkish gendarmerie functions normally, the interillied missions and contingents may be withdrawn before the expiration of thirty days. 9. That all troops of the Angora government shall be withdrawn outside the allied occupation with all possible space. Now neutral areas in the Chanak and Ismid areas shall be defined by mixed commissions, consisting of one officer of each of the allied armies and one officer, of the Angora government. 10. That included in Constantlupe peninsula zone will be the territory in included in the following line: Starting at a point on the Black Sea seven kilometers to the northwest of Podema and then proceeding to Strandja, Murtokil, Kichtaght, Sinnikol, Cara, Sinnan Tchiltikil, Kadulek, Yenidja, Fladina Tchiltikil and Calicaratia. 11. That included in the Gallipol peninsula zone of allied occupation in all that part of the peninsula south of the Bakla and Bulair line. 12. That until the withdrawal of the allied troops and the cossation of allied occupation in each of the zones referred to the Angora government undertakes to respect the said zones. 13. That the Angora government will undertake not to transport troops in to, nor raise and maintain an army in Eastern Thrace, until the ratification of peace. 14. The present convention will come into force three days after its sig nature. In addressing Ismet Pasha at the conclusion of last night's conference, General Harrington uttered a stef warning to the Nationalists, declaring that if they engaged in war they would have a difficult adversary. Lord Britain was a considerable number of warships a large number of men and plenty of guns." he added. "While the British people want peace, they are equally determined to have fair play and are dangerous opponents when aroused."

MILDRED BULLOCK ELECTROCUTED AT TELEPHONE IN MONROE TERRACE APARTMENT-HAPPENING A MYSTERY TWO Mildred Bullock, aged 30, colored cook employed in the apartment of C. H. Montague at Monroe Terrace, was found dead in the apartment yesterday afternoon about 5:30 o'clock, death having been due, in the opinion of Corner Whitfield, to electrocution. The body was found by the maid during the absence of Mr. and Mrs. Montague. The maid declared she heard fall and went into the front part of the parment and found the cook's body lying on the floor. Corner Whitfield was summoned and after a careful investigation gave the opinion that the woman came to her death as a result of being electrocuted. A number of clerks, experts, Detective-Sergeant Wiley and Smith, or the police department and others were involved in an investigation in an effort to determine the responsibility for the strange accident. When the body was found after death one hand was grasping the telephone receiver and another the stem of an electric lamp. EXPERTS. TEST WIRES. Experts from both the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company and the Virginia Railway and Power Company made a thorough examination of the wires. Delicate instruments to test the slightest fraction of current above the normal were used after being carefully tested out and in addition to this city electrical experts from the department of public utilities under Director Trafford made an examination of the wiring, but none was able to determine. Coroner Whitfield said how the device would have received from either the electric wire, the telephone wire or both enough electric current to cause death. Coroner Whitfield said an examination made of the electric wires on the lamp showed the insulation was slightly worn and they might have made a contact with the telephone wires, though there is nothing to show that they did, he said. THE CORONER'S OPINION Dr. Whitfield said today his opinion that the woman was electrocuted was based on conditions he found. He said he found several severe burns on the left hand and arm of the body. One burn was on the back of the hand at the base of the thumb, another on the back of the wrist near the front, yet another on the finger next to the little finger on which there was a gold ring the burn being around the ring; and there also was a burn on the left forearm near the elbow. An injury on the forehead where it struck the floor when the body fell, was evident. The head was found lying in a corner between the telephone and the lamp, one hand grasped the telephone receiver and the other the stem of the ornamental lamp. The top of the lamp was damaged when the lamp fell and was lying across the body. The desk on which the telephone stood was damaged probably by the fall of the body. One of the legs of the desk was broken off. SURE IT WAS ELECTROCUTION. Dr. Whitfield said that he was convinced that the woman was electrocuted though how, it could not be determinate. He said he had summoned electrical inspectors from the telephone and power companies and the city electrical department and they had pronounced the wires and transformers in good condition. There was no trouble with the telephone, he said, because it was used while he was there and any current which would have burned the woman as she was burned would, in his opinion have burned the telephone out and any current of such strength would have burned the insulation of the wires if it had passed through them. NORMAL WIRES, PHONE CO SAYS. Telephone officials said today that a thorough test of the line and connecting lines showed them to be in normal condition and working order. Manager Tanner said that the 'phone current consists of only four volts. Officials of the power company said that the voltage of electric wires, such as were in the apartment was usually 115 to 145 and in exceptional cases it reached a voltage of 240 and that the current used in legal electrocutions ranged from 1,800 to more than 2,000 volts. EXPERT MAKES COMMENT A well-known electrical expert who is frequently called in cases in courts in which the most expert knowledge of electricity is required said today after all the facts had been explained to him: "I think that it was probable that as little as 240 voltage could have caused her death if her hands were covered with soapy water and she had a weak heart. The presence of joe in the soapwash finish an excellent conductor of the electricity into the body and if only the fraction of an amper reaches a vital organ it sometimes causes death. The voltage sends the current through the body and the extra stimulation of the electricity causes the muscles to contract and the blood vessels to be squeezed so that the heart is greatly taxed and if weak, it will succumb. The burns, however, would indicate that a high voltage affecting the heart caused instant death and that the heart was caused slowly by the current at certain sites, the woman had been washing自己 at the sink in the kitchen and she went to the telephone with wet hands. Street car officials said they did not be love that the current in the electric lamp could not have caused death and cited the case of one of the officials of the company whose body received 1,600 volts for twenty seconds, and who is still living. The electrical expert said that across the chest was the most direct route for an electric current to reach the heart, the most vital organ. Corner Whitfield said that he did not deem an inquest necessary as it could not be determined by experts how she was electrocuted, and that no autopsy would be performed. (News Leader, October 4, 1922.) SIKI'S VICTORY IN PARIS MAKES DUMSEY HAPPY. (Breston News Service.) (Preston New York) New York City, Oct. 6.—In the press situation of affairs in pugilism the one thing? happiness recently to make Jack Dempsey happy was the victory of Battling Sikil over Georges Carpentier in Paris last Monday night. Dempsey has about run to the end of his string of excuses for not meeting Harry Wills in a title bout. Sikil's victory has given Dempsey a new line of defense to keep out of the ring with Wills for sometime at least. Excitement among fight promoters is at fever here and now Sikil is the most liked of man in the world today, according to latest dispatches from Paris Sikil has accepted Tex Rickard's terms to fight somebody in New York City on November 30th. Last Friday night Rickard announced that he had definitely concluded arrangements to import Battling Sikil, the Senegalese here for a bout with somebody on Thanksgiving Day. Followers of the rugged game of fistfight are speculating as to whom Sikil will meet. All that can he gotten from Rickard is that he does not know just who will be Siki's opponent, but that he can as sure all that it will not be a "set up." He said, "there are three or four high class men in the light heavy weight group in this country and I will select one of these men after the foreign arrivers here." Some are inclined to think that his first opponent will be Harry Grem or Pittsburgh, others contend that he should meet Gibbons, or Miske, and still others contend that Siki should meet Kid Norfolk, first. In fact Norfolk has deposited a forfeit of $2,500 binding a challenge to Siki and will be entitled to first consideration as an opponent of Siki on Thanksgiving night. The challenge is for the light-heavy-weight championship now held by Siki. The New York Boxing Commission issue a statement last Friday night to the effect that if it verifies the reports that Skii is coming to the United States under contract for very large sums, neither he nor the men to whom he is under contract will be permitted to operate in this state. The commission's statement follows "There was filed at the office of the state athletic commission today a challenge, issued by Kid Norfolk and supported by a forfeit of $2,500 for the light heavyweight championship he by Battling Skii. This means that if Skii comes to this country, it will be in line for him to dispose of this challenge; first either to accept or decline, and if it is true that he is coming here under contract for the very large sums that have been mentioned in the newspapers recently, neither nor the men to whom he is under contract will be permitted to operate in this state. One of the rules in this commission stipulates that all boxers in main bouts must work on a percentage basis." It is reported that Siki has been off-ered $10,000 to fight Johnny Wilson, middle weight champion in Braves Field, in Boston on October 25. Jack Johnson, former heavy weight champion is reported to have sent a challenge to Siki. Jack was hailed into court in New York last Thursday on account of a debt he owed Barney Gerad, a theatrical producer for seven years. The amount being $3,500, Johnson was asked to pay $1,000 on account by Gerrard's counsel and Johnson replied: "You follow ought to wait until tucked that man Siki. He looks just like the man I want to fight, and when I go through I have money enough to pay you." Johnson then anounced that he was sending a challenge to Siki. Harry Greh, of Pittsburgh, announced on Saturday that he was willing to meet Siki, any time, any where for any reasonable amount of money. Green is the American Light heavy-weight champion. What Jack Dempsey is most anxious about is to have things so turn out that Skii will have to fight his way up through the long list of American contenders and then finally to Harry Wills. By this means a contest between Wills and Dempsey will be postponed for considerable time. The continued stalling of Dempsey in reference to a bout with Harry Wills has gotten on the nerves of the sport writers of practically all the big white daily papers throughout the country. Close observers of the tactics being used by the various persons interested directly in the fight game see clearly that Dempsey desires to hold his title as long as possible and he fully realizes that he is no match for Harry Wills. Colored people throughout the country are exceedingly proud of the conduct of Harry Wills. He is a quite, sober unassuming gentleman and should he get a chance with Dempsey the championship would fall into the hands of a man who would not act in a manner to disgrace the race. Wills is fully aware of the living conditions between the races in the country and makes it a rule of his life to do nothing to increase the difficulties which now confront his race.

Carlton whose case has been in police court for three mornings, was this morning finned $300 and sentenced to thirty days in jail for assaulting Patrolman W. W. Hite. Cara gave notice of appeal and was released on bond of $200.

The warrant for Sergeant Carlton's arrest was issued and delivered to Superintendent of Police Taylor in Carlton's presence on Tuesday, September 19, but service of it was held up by Major Taylor until Saturday morning, September 23, after Police Justice Borkley had refused to consider the case until it came before him in the proper manner.

NATIONAL KU KLUX KLAN GETS CHAUTER AS CORPORATION. (Preston News Service.) Dover, Dec. 4. 4—The National Ku Klux Klan, Inc., an organization proposing, according to its charter, to "engage in work of patriotic, secret, social, and benevolent character in Delaware, Georgia and elsewhere in the United States." has been incorporated here. William S. Coburn, an Atlanta attorney, made application for the charter through the U. S. Corporation Company of New York. Other incorporations were: M. B. Owen, J. P. Owen and A. E. Wilson all of Atlanta. It is said the organization will have no capital stock. Its membership is to consist of the incorporators, "and all such other persons as shall contribute or co-operate in the work of corporation upon the terms and conditions provided by the constitution." One of the objects of the new organization, according to the charter, is "to receive gifts, donations and bequests of property and to purchase and to hold properties of all kinds." It is believed that William S. Coburn is one of the 37 alleged members of the Ku Klux Klan indicted on five counts each by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office, a raid on the Eldunayan home in Inglewood last April. The trial, however, Remarkable Preparation Makes It Long, Silk, Soft, Lovely Hair Long, Silk, Soft, Lovely Hair Long, Silk, Soft, Lovely resulted in the acquittal of 35, including Coburn, a mistrial in the case of one and dismissal of the charges before another before the case went to the jury. "IF YOU CAN, SPOT MIL," SLOGAN OF NEW RELIGIOUS CULT. Greenwood, S. C. Oct. 5.—This town is being swept by a new religious faith which requires its adherents to stand up at each religious service and dare the rest of the congregation to disclose any misdeed of which they are guilty. It is said that the members of the cult shout with such forlorn that it can be heard for blocks on quiet nights. It is chained that this cult wages relentless war on sin in all forms. The faith is known as the Pentecostal baptist and is lead by Rev. David Strom, who is an iron moulder by day and a preacher at night and on Sunday. At present they have no church building, but hold their meetings in a shack in a section of ill reput, known as Butlertown. Residents of Butlertown declare that the noise of worship is now far great than the noise of Butlertown in its quietness. The noise of thanksgiving for salvation is heard of the shriek of jazz bands and squealing of cabaret singers yelling some form of the "blues." It is claimed that Strom is a remarkable speaker and his sermons attracts the denizens of the dives to come to his services to hear him preach. At the beginning of each service each members stands up to be "spotted." Each member stands up in turn and addresses the congregation: "If you can spot me, spot me." If there is any one present who knows of any misdeed of the challenger he is supposed to "spot him." Rev. Strom says this method is much better than confessing your own sins, for it gives your neighbor a chance to confess for you. It makes men and women live more cirumspect. Each member guilty of any wrong must acknowledge it, and ask forgiveness. If he does not, "his char acter is stopped." in the parlance of the church and he must sit still when others rise to he "spotted." --- That angle with the Mechanics Bank of Richmond, Va., still continues. They are still trying to have it reopen. How well they are succeeding is hard to tell at this distance, but it is hoped that they will be successful for the sake of the race. The failure of a Negro Bank in Virginia hurts the race in all parts of the country. The other races can stand reverses, but our race has not gotten to that place where, after reverses come, that they will go on just the same. (Helenia, Ark., Reporter.)

Superstition pervades all races of people and has been noticeable in all ages. The Turks believe, what will be will be and there are numbers of people, who believe the same thing and they are not Turks either. Troubles and disappointments are for us all and the more one tries to do right, the greater the sea of trouble ahead. The trouble in the Near East is nearing settlement. The outlook for peace is brighter and the Turk comes unto his own again. Cheerfulness and good humor are great assets. They usually accompany good health, even when there is an absence of money. Southern white folks will help you when you deserve help. This refers to the better class, but as to the other element, the more injury they can do you, the better they like it. It seems to be the bounden duty on some people to make trouble for some other people, regardless of their past services or achievements. Their fundamental idea is to destroy.

Daugherty is construing the law and announcing rulings, which seem to be awakening a "storm of protest" not only from one end of this country to the other, but from one section of the civilized world to the other. The blanket injunction drawn by him and issued by Judge Wilkerson of Chicago alarms the conservative elements of the country and maddened the radical combination throughout this land of ours. It was claimed that this injunction set aside and nullified constitutional rights. Now comes a ruling on the Volstead Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. In this, he not only construes the act as affecting American vessels on the high seas and in foreign ports, but foreign vessels in American ports. This has seriously enangered our merchant marine and may result in driving it from the seas. President Harding is reported as being determined to modify this ruling and it may be that the severity of the same may be lessened. --- A PECULIAR INCIDENT. Conditions are peculiar in Oklahoma. The following telegraphic report is grimly significant: McAlester, Okla., Oct. 7.—The Rev. W.E. Smith, itinerant evangelist, opened his service in Lathert county last night by removing a loaded gun from his hip pocket and placing it beside the open Bible. After the convocation, second gun was placed on the left of the scriptures. The meeting was carried to a normal conclusion without incident, notwithstanding previous anthro­mously communicated to the preacher that he would not be permitted to speak. Mr. Smith told his audience that "a certain element" did not wish him to hold his meetings and intimated that tonight he might appear with sidearms. Soon after services were under way two automobiles loaded with men attired in the regalia of the Ku Klux Klan arrived. Rpv. W. E. Smith was not ready to send anyone to Heaven that night, but he was grimly prepared to give the Ku Klux Klan a free ticket to the other place. As he did not propose to defray funeral expenses for any to them, who might come within range of his guns, he was not disturbed and the people present heard "the plain, pure and unadultered religion." FRENCH AND BRITISH TO UNITE IN FIGHT FOR LIQUOR ON SHIPS Paris, Oct. 10.—French and British shipping companies will work as a unit in invoking Attorney-General Daugherty's decision on prohibiting foreign as well as American ships from taking liquor into United States ports, it was decided here today. Until they have been definitely in structured by the Treasury Department that they must remove their ship pals they will not change their present arrangements, and preparations are being made here to send the Lafayette from Havre next Saturday with a full complement of wines and other drinks sufficient to last for the return voyage. At the head office of the French Line The New York Herald correspondent was informed that there was a definite arrangement among all the big lines to pursue an identical policy whenever "test cases" arise and there was no reason to believe the French Line would abandon this policy. REPORTS NOT RECEIVED "We have not yet received the reports for which we asked from our New York offices," a high official of one of the lines said. "Apparently the company has not received any warning from Secretary Mellon, and until that is delivered there is no reason why we should change our Sans. "Nevertheless I can assure you that the problem is being studied from all points by French as well as English legal advisers." While greatly interested in the suggestion from the United States that two years' delay could be obtained by injunction proceedings it is evident here that such a solution is not favored because it would leave the question in suspense too long. DISCRIMINATION OPPOSED There also is a notable effort here to take advantage of the United States lines by suggesting that the foreign lines are permitted to carry that which is denied to the American Government ships. A French Line authority today insisted that no decision could be considered valid which would work unfair hardships on the American competitors. The French Government has not yet taken action, but an extensive report is being prepared on the subject which also is to be submitted to the Ministry of Justice for an opinion. Although the Cabinet met this morning, M. Rio, Minister of the Merchant Marine, was unable to attend because of a previous appointment to meet a committee of striking seamen, but The New York Herald correspondent, has THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA been notified regarding the situation, and are unanimously of the poison that the French Government must lose no time in approaching the State Do partiment for a revision of the deeds ion as being opposed to international usage. THIRD WITNESSES IN MURDER CASE ARE BEHIND BARS. Now Brunswick, N. J., Oct. 10. Prison bars closed tonight on a third important figure in the Hall-Mills murder mystery, but the incarceration instead of helping to clear the labyrinth tangle of clues and counter-clues served only to emphasize the difficulties the authorities are encountering in their efforts to check up the evidence on which 19 year old Clifford Hayes stands accused of the double slaying. "The third to go to jail was Pearl Bahmer, she is the 15 year old girl whom Raymond Schneider says Hayes thought he was slaying with her step father, when according to Schneider's story, Hayes fired 4 bullets into the bodies of Rev. Edward Wheeler Halt and Mrs. Eleanor Reinhardt Mills on the night of September 14 on the deserted Phillips farm. Schneider is held as a material witness. Pearl was not officially jailed in connection with the Hall-Mills case. The charge against her—which she calmly admitted—was incorrigibility. Prosecutor Stricker of Middlesex County who has been active in the investigation of the Hall-Mills case, appeared personally against her. County Judge Daly before whom the hearing was held, departed from the rule of secrecy in juvenile cases and threw his court open because he declared, the people "have a right to know why she is being put in jail." STEPFATHER IS HELD At the end of the hearing after she had testified to intimacy with Schneid er and her stepfather, she was officially committed for a week pending a decision of the incorrigibility charge. Unofficially, it was said, she was being given a chance to "think over" the con-fiting stories she has told. An additional reason for her incarceration was said to be the fact that she was too difficult to find when she was wanted for questioning. Nicholas Bahmer later was arrested as a result of the charges preferred by his step-daughter and held in $10,000 bail following his argument. Pearl, who was with Schneider when the bodies of Mr. Hall and Mrs. Mills were "found" two days after the murders, on more than one occasion had given newspaper men working on the case reason to believe she knew more than she was telling. Incidentally, she has turned against Schneider, once admittedly her sweetheart, and has sought to convey the impression that he know more about the murders than Hayes, whom he accused of the crime. Schneider, it was disclosed today, told four different stories about his knowledge of the slayings before he reached the story of Hayes' commission of the crime, on which the authorities acted. After he had been trapped in prevarications in the first four, said a State trooper who was present throughout the long grilling, Schneider would say "Well, let's go back and start all over again. I'll tell the truth this time." SCHNEIDER'S STORY VARIES His final story fails to jibe with facts about the murder brought out from other sources—notably his instigence that, neither Hayes nor he he-but Mr. Mill's throat after the shooting, although an autopsy showed the head had been almost severed. There are almost as broad drep ancles in his story of his whereabouts on the night of the murders, and that told by Pearl Balmmer, Schneider said he was with Pearl for several hours that night, before he saw Pearl out with her stepfather and started trailing the pair with Hayes. Pearl first said he was with her until about 9 o'clock. Then she said he was not with her at all. Detectives say they have practically established that he was not with her, and they are trying to check up on his movements between 8 and 11 o'clock—the period in which the murders are known to have committed. Schneider rays it was about 1 o'clock when Hayes shot the minister and the choir singer "by mistake." All other witnesses have agreed that the screams and shots which must have written finis to the Hall-Mills romance were heard at about 10:30 o'clock. PROSECUTOR SAYS HAYES Despite these and many other apparent conflicts in his story, prosecutor Beckman, of Somerset, insisted he had evidence enough against Hayes to justify the charge against him, and even told reporters he believed he could convict Hayes on evidence now in his posession. He refused to disclose the nature of this evidence, however. Hayes in the meantime, is in the county jail at Somerville, awaiting act of the Somerville grand jury, and protesting his innocence of Schneider's charge. He adhered to his story that he and Schneider had come upon the bodies of the slain pair while hunting for Pearl and her stepfather; that Schneider had stolen the minister's watch and that they had both declared to say nothing about their find. Detectives and State troopers continued their efforts to uncover more evidence about the murders, many of them frankly expressing skepticism as to Schneider's story, and indicating they had leads which pointed to a wholly different solution of the case. Disbelief in Schneider's story apparently has gripped hundreds of citizens of New Brunswick, many of whom have openly expressed conviction that the authorities were on a false scent.

Walter C. Sedan, counsel for Schneider, announced today that he would appear before Supreme Court Justice Parker in Trenton Thursday, seeking his client's release on bail. He said Schneider could raise bail if it were fixed at not more than $10,000. SCNEIDDR WEAK-MINDED, SAYS HIS ATTORNEY New Brunswick, Oct. 10.—Schneider's attorney, Walter C. Sedan, on night issued a statement in which he said his client is weak-minded, a statement which has been echoed on all sides since he made his confession. Mr. Sedan said he expects to have Schneider out of jail on $10,000 bail tomorrow. Mr. Sedan also said: "Quite naturally I have my own idea of this sudden solution of the case. It ought to be evident to every one who read Governor Edward's pro nouncement that the mystery must be solved and then within a few hours saw all previous theories and clues thrown to the winds and these persons arrested. After I have a real chance to talk with Schneider I will have something worth saying." Schneider's statement is doubled on all sides here. He called to explain: here. He failed to explain: Why Hayes shot Mrs. Mills, believing she was Pearl, when he only wished to save the girl from her drunken father. What has become of the murder gun. Who carefully laid out the bodies. Who cut Mrs. Mills' throat. Moreover, Schneider could not quote a single statement he made to Hayes or that Hayes made to him after the crime. It was hinted here tonight that the so-called confession and the arrests may lead to some one "higher up" who can explain how Mrs. Mills' throat was cut. --- STATEMENT OF THE OWNERSHIP, Management, Circulation, Etc. required by the Act of Congress of August 24, 1912, of The Planet, published weekly at Richmond, Virginia for October 1, 1922.

GRAY YOUTH IS ARRESTED ON ON FIRST DEGREE MURDER CHARGE. New Brunswick, N. J., Oct. 9.—Clifford Hayes, a youth of 19 was held in communication in the Somerset county fall at Somerville tonight on a warrant charging him with the first-degree murder of Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall and Mrs. Eleanor Reinhardt Mills on September 14. But if the authorities who caused his arrest have any evidence which would show a logical motive for his alleged act they have carefully withdid it. The explanation of Raymond Schnel Car, 22, whose accusation caused Hayes' arrest was that it was a case of mistaken identity. Hayes, he soal thought he was shooting 15 year old Pearl Bahmer and her stepfather, Nicholas Bahmer. MOTIVE IS NOT APPARENT But the only motive he advanced for the reckless crime was a sort of Quixotism on Hayes' part—a desire to right a supposed wrong done a friend, Schnoider, who, although married admits he is in love with Pearl. Hayes' report was that Schnoider was "a d—d liar." He admitted going with Schnoider to the deserted Phillips farm, where the bodies were found, in search of Pearl and her step father. They heard shots and screams, he said, and ran toward the crab apple tree whence the shots seemed to come observing an automobile dash away as they ran. CHARGES SCHNEIDER STOLE WATCH Beneath the tree, he declared, they found the minister and the choir lead or dead and he added, Schnoider bent down and stole the ministers. This Schneider botty denied during the long all-night grilling to which both youths were subjected. Schneider in turn, accused Hayes of having committed the theft. One of the most glaring discrepancies in Schneider's story is his assertion that neither he nor Hayes reached the bodies except for the reaching of the watch—which he accuses Hayes. It has been established by a recent autopsy that Mrs. Mills' throat was cut from car to car and her head almost severed. Schneider could not explain how the bodies came to be laid out carefully side by side as if for burial. FAILS TO EXPLAIN LOVE LETTERS He was equally unsatisfactory as to how the love letters written by Mrs. Mills to the minister came to be scattered about the scene—or who propped one of the minister's cards against the sole of his shoe, as if to make sure of identification. His story does tally remarkably, however, with the first statement attributed to Mrs. Hall after the murders were discovered—that her theory of the double slaying was "mistaken identity." This statement later was repudiated by Mrs. Sallio Peters, confidante of Mrs. Hall, who said the rector's wifewould imagine no motive except possibly that of robbery. Although they openly expressed confidence that the case had been practically solved. The authorities were still hard at work tonight trying to reconcile all the tangled skein of evidence with Schneider's story—or to batter him down to further admissions which would make his story more plausible. He was subjected to repeated grillings throughout the day. A part of Schneider's story—as much as she could have been expected to know—corroborated by Pearl Bahmer. GIRL: WALKED WITH On the night of September 12, she said she was out with Schneider, remaining until about 9 o'clock. When she returned home, she continued, she found her stepfather on the porcelain—intoxicated—and consented to go with him while he attempted to "walk off" the effects of his drink. They passed Schneider, Hayes and Leo Kauffman on a street corner, she said and the three youths followed them. After they had walked some distance, she said, she became tired and wanted to return home, but her stepfather seized her by the arm and insisted that she continue. She began to cry, she said, and the trio rushed up, Schneider doffing his coat and expressing his determination to beat Bahmer. The encounter ended without blows however, she said, and she and her stepfather returned home. Schneider's story tallies with hers perfectly up to this point, except that Schneider said Pearl and Bahmer walked on toward the Phillip's farm. Kaufman left them then, he said, but he and Hayes determined to follow on. Hayes showing him a 32 caliber pistol and assuring him there was no danger. COUPLE SEEN BENEATH TREE. Suddenly, he said, they saw a couple beneath the crab apple tree and Hayes whipped out his pistol and began to fire, exclaiming: "There they are—I'll fix them". After the struggles of the pair he neath the tree were stillled, he said, he stole forward, struck a match and cried to Hayes: "My God, man, you've made a terrible mistake." Hayes then snatched the minister's watch and they both fled, he declared. Schneider was quoted as telling the authorities he had taken Pearl to the scene Saturday, two days after the shooting—partly out of morbid curiosity and partly because he wanted to show her how nearly she had come to bing slain, following the walk with her stenfather. It was Schneider and Pearl who THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA first "discovered" the bodies and not fled the police. ```markdown ``` Pearl's version to reporters today was somewhat different. "Raymond saw me Saturday and insisted that we take a walk" she said. "He took me up De Russy Lane. It was the first time we had ever been up that way. We sat down in the grass near the appie tree to talk. I looked over and saw the bodies and said to Raymond, "there are two people lying down." GIRL DISCOVERS BODIES. "Why don't you attend to your own business?" he replied. "Then I walked over and saw they were all bloody and ran away frightened. Then we told a policeman." The girl said Schneider had appeared worried ever since the shooting, and on two occasions had asked her to go to Perth Amboy with him. Then, apropos of nothing, she inquired: "Did you know Raymond had a pearl handled knife in his pocket that night?" Pearl also showed reporters a note she said she had received from Schneider's young wife on the Monday following the finding of the bodies. It read: You will pardon my writing to you but I want to tell you to keep away from my husband. When this case comes to trial I am going to beat you to it." Pearl said she did not know whether Mrs. Schneider referred to the murder trial, or a divorce trial between the Schneiders which is pending. Mrs. Schneider also visited her on the same day, she said, and asked to be taken to the spot where the bodies had been found. She compiled with the request, she said. She thought Mrs. Schneider's intention was mostly a morbid one. WILL ARraign HAYES TODAY Hayes will be arraigned in Somerset County tomorrow on a charge of first-degree murder. The affidavit on which he will be arraigned it was learned tonight, charges him with the murder of Hall and Mrs. Mills on the night of September 15. Schneider, who still was being questioned at a late hour, gave in his statement against Hayes the night of Thursday, September 14, as the date of the shooting. FOOTBALL NOTES SEASON OPENS AT V. N. & I. I. With the sound of Coach Watson's whistle some thirty or forty men fully clad in togs that are expected to cross the goal line many times this year. Soon the athletic field was the scene of long twisting punts and spikes and the thud of solid muscle as he dashed into the tackling dummy which by the way seemed to take it all in good faith. The men are confident of making a good showing this year with Big Lee and Ferrel in tackle. Nicholas in the backfield and Thrift back at center. The hole left by Spratley is being able filled by Coles so there is no worry about quarter this year.

The rest of the schedule is as follows: at home October 21, Shaw; October 28, Hampton; November 11th Howard; on the road, November 4th Biddle; November 25th, A. and T.; November 18th, Union; November 30 Va.

Brown Hat Works MECHANICS BANK BUILDING We Are Remodeling Cleaning and Reblocking OLD VELVET HATS in the Latest Fall Styles for both Ladies and Gentlemen. PARCEL POST ORDERS A SPECIALTY. ```markdown ``` --- PATIENTLY WAITING. 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. JOHN MITCHELL. JR. ```markdown ```
