RICHMOND PLANET Harry T. Burleigh. Noted Musician. Assails Misuse of Spirituals in Dance Tunes. VOLUME XL, NUMBER 2 BALLOT BATTLE IN HARLEM IS NEW POLITICAL ERA JOHN M. ROYAL SEEKS NEW DAY WITH A DEMAND FOR FAIR TREATMENT. Whether the women read the signs at the cross roads right or whether contentions within the Republican fold produced the greatest defection in the recent election there is much speculation. Among the colored voters the spectro of Lilly-whiteism—a denial of patronage, nationally and locally—pussy-footing the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill—the high tariff bills—the soldiers' bonus—direct primaries—social equality issue raised by Senator William M. Clader—Congressman Ansorge's "Holly Funble," falling to appoint a mutable, unfair redistricting and a general dissatisfaction over white district leaders naming colored men to lead in Harlem are partly responsible for the Democratic huddle in that end of the city November 7th. The failure of state and national efforts on part of the Republican Organization to "tear up Jack" as was expected, in the recent election, spell some very definite things politically; chief among which are: (first) That progressive republicanism must have substantial consideration in the patronage, the power and prestige of party affairs. (Second.) That leadership must be based upon the votes of the electorate; and that all fencing, convining and bias which make flesh of some and fish of others must be cast aside to insure a healthy, vigorous successful party action. Clique domination is a dead cock in the pit. (Third.) That a redistricting of the political subdivisions in the county of New York should be made at the very earliest possible moment in a way that will guarantee the 200,000 colored population of Harlem opportunity to fight out its political differences without interference from outside influences. The present situation, continued, will only add one Democratic victory to another year after year. ((Fourth.) That trickery, cunning and whispering on the colored people by those who stand only for self and personal plunder must be relegated to the rear; and ideas, visions and consecrated concern for the public weal must be brought to the fore-front. (Fifth.) Leadership being based upon the political subdivisions, called assembly districts, all interlopers and self-styled race leaders should be required to work and make good in his particular, political subdivision; and not be permitted to roam and dabble (his "make-believe") leadership in districts which he does not reside. This isn't true among any other electorate except the colord politicians. POLITICS IS BUSINESS The sooner political organizations realize that the colored voters are now studying the business end of the game, the quicker party results may be expected in the county of New York. Before the primaries the Republican Party "fused" supporting many Democratic candidates--after the election the (Continued on Fourth Page) H. T.

These melodies are our prized possession. They were created for a definite purpose and are designed to demonstrate and perpetuate the deepest aesthetic endowment of the race. They are the only legacy of slavery days that we can be proud of;—our one, priceless contribution to the vast must 5 COLORED MEN ELECTED TO LEGISLATURES. New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Illinois elected five colored men to serve in State Legislatures in the election of Nov. 7. Oliver Randolph was elected to the Jersey Legislature from Essex County, polling 5,112 votes more than his opponent. Andrew P. Stevens and John C. Asbury were re-elected to the Pennsylvania Legislature from Philadelphia. S. B. Turner, Editor of the Illinois Idea and A. H. Roberts were elected to the Illinois Legislature. Rev. R. N. Bolden, of New York; Matthew Bullock, of Massachusetts and Thomas M. Dexter of Indiana made good runs. A JAPANESE IS DENIED NATURALIZATION Honolulu. Nov. 13.—(Associated Press.)—The legal attack of Takao Ozawa, Japanese salesman for a large wholesale firm here to gain American citizenship was launched in the Hawaiian court several years ago and is said to have drawn financial support from the Japanese colony in the effort to make it a deciding test case. Among other contentions Ozawa advanced the claim that he is "white," and in an effort to prove his point he traced the history of the Japanese nation for several thousand years, back to the Ainu tribe. He included in his argument the assertion that Solleftof James M. Beck had expressed the belief that this particular portion of the Japanese race has the distinct mark of the Caucasian. Ozawa is well educated and speaks excellent English. He came to Hawaii while a young man. One of his points was that he had taken special care to educate his children in the American public schools of the territory and to familiarize them with American customs and ideals in order that they might become loyal American citizens. He asserted that his children had not been taught the Japanese language and that nothing that pertained to Japan had been permitted to enter their education or religion. MARRIAGE ANNOUNCEMENT Mr. J.

Assails Tunes in Dance Tunes. In them we have a mine of musical wealth that is everlasting. Into their making was poured the aspiration of a race in bondage, whose religion—in tensely felt—was their whole hope and comfort, and the only vehicle through which their inner spirits soured free. "They rank with the great folk-music of the world and among the loveliest of chanted prayers" Now, since this body of folk-song expresses the soul of a race, it is a holy thing. To use it and not artificialize or cheapen it calls for reverence and true devotion to its spiritual significance. Yet these delinquent musicians contemptuously disregard these traditions for personal commercial gain. Their use of the melodies debases the pure meaning of the tunes, converting and perverting them into tawdry dance measures or maudlin popular songs. Their work is moretriculous sacrilegious and wantonly destructive. It offends the aesthetic feelings of all (Continued on Fifth Page.) RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1922 HARRY WILLS AND JACK DEMPSEY MATCHED FOR JULY FOURTH Boston, Mass., Nov. 12.— "The Manassa Man Mauler" and the "Brown Panther of New Orleans" will be glaring at each other across a roped corral on July 4, 1923. A letter just received here from Jack Kearns, manager of the heavy-weight champion states that he has begun preparations for bringing about the glaring bout on that day. The champion is the M. M. M. Harry Wills is the "Brown Panther" and Harry has been ready to do his part in the glaring for some time. No one who has ever seen Wills in the ring will deny that he can glare quite a bit. Kearns writes that he is anxious to have the meeting between Dempsey and Wills take place at one of the ball parks in New York or in Jersey City.

Brown was held Tuesday October 31st, 1922 at the First Baptist church, Covington, Va., before an over-flowing audience. The floral tributes were many and beautiful. Dr. G. E. Reed pastor, beautifully pictured Miss Brown's life as he spoke of the work she had so faithfully performed before she was stricken—and thus stolen away from us in the bloom of life. Miss Brown was a graduate of Covington High School after which she attended Fisk University and Wilebrforce, from which she graduated in 1919. She finished a course in Millner les at Berean Manual Training School Philadelphia, Pa. In 1920 she became a member of the faculty of Selma University, Selma, Ala. In 1921 she accepted a position in Cookman Institute, Jacksonville, Fla., and was at her post of duty, when her health failed in March 1922 at which time she returned home and bore her sufferers patiently until the end came. She leaves a mother, Mrs. E. B. Brown; father, C. B. Brown; two brothers, C. A. and S. A. Brown; two sisters-in-law, Mrs. Edna Merrill Brown of Now London, Conn.; and Mrs. Maud Holt Brown of Pittsburgh, Pa., and a host of relatives and friends to mourn their loss.

Austin, Texas, Nov. 3.—In an address here tonight before an audience of Black and White citizens who jummed the Ebenezer Baptist Tahernacle to its utmost capacity, Charles Satchell Morris, Jr., of Norfolk, Va., famous orator doctored: "The Negro of the South is beginning to awaken to his new and larger opportunities. No power on earth can restrain our onward march to victory when our hearts are resolute and our spirits determined." He further stated: "A begging race is a helpless race. The Negro must learn to support his own institutions. The history of all successful peoples teaches that men have been able to take what they had and made what they wanted." The speaker was accorded a great reception by the audience. Dean Sutton of the University of Texas, responded to the address. Young Morris is on a three months speaking tour of Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia. Thousands of the citizens of both races are hearing him nightly.

When the Campaign workers made their final reports which showed that they had "gone over" $200 both women and girls were beside themselves with joy and enthusiasm. Too much credit cannot be given to women for the splendid spirit of co-operation and team work which was shown all through the tremendous Drive. Richmond proved that her girls are worth it. The citizens of Richmond took up the challenge embodied in one of the Campaign Slogans and proved through their generous contribution that "The Richmond Girls Are Worth It." The Richmond Girls are worth every bit of time, talent and money that is needed to carry on the work of its Phyllis Wheatley. Mrs. Herbert C. Mundin, Chairman of the Committee of Management and Mrs. Susie Bowman Williams, Chairman General of the $2 030.00 Campaign in speaking of the results of the Drive say that it is due largely to the cooperation of both citizens and workers and thank them for their generous contributions both in service and funds. "The Richmond Girls First, Last and Always." The Publicity Committee suggested it. The Committee of Managment con firmed it, but the Campaign Teams and Richmond Citizens proved it. Phyllis Wheatley will carry out its program. Now that the 1923 Budget is secured the management will administer to the girlhood and woman hood of Richmond a larger and more efficient program and invites the citizens and friends to visit their "Y" and witness the carrying on of the program to which they subscribed. Junior League of Leigh Street Memorial church will have charge of the Vesper services next Sunday from 5 to 6 P. M. to which the public is invited. Girl Reserve advisers organized Basket Ball club.

NORMAN NOMINATED FOR PRESIDENT While in Washington, D. C., last week preaching for Rev. L. R. Frayser D. D., we learned that the Baptist of the District had nominated Rev. Moses W. D. Norman, D. D., L. L. D., for President of the National Baptist Convention Inc. At present Dr. Norman is President of the Mt. Bethel Association and pastor of one of the greatest churches of our denomination. He is scholarly, dignified and displays coniderable executive ability. A man ripe with experience and a successful leader of men. In our opinion Dr. Norman would be a fit successor to the lamented Dr. E. C. Morris as leader of the Baptist Forces of our country. Respectfully, —D. J. BRADFORD.

A very important conference was held in Richmond last week, looking toward the creation here of a standard college course for girls. Boards from the American Baptist Home Mission Society controlling the Hartshorn Memorial College and Virginia Union University were here in conference with the school heads and interested citizens. The indications are that the standard college course will be established, either at Hartshorn or that Union will become a co-educational institution and girls entered for the college degrees. In either event the girls will get a chance. DR. J. J. JONES SUES PULLMAN COMPANY DR. J. J. JONES SUES PULLMAN COMPANY Raleigh, N.

HAMPTON INSTITUTE WILL HELP YOUNG FARMERS. Hampton, Va., Nov. 14.—Young and ambitious Negro farmers who have not the time or the money to take a full course but who wish to receive more training in scientific methods of farming so as to be able to make a better living on the land, may soon take the three-month, agricultural short course at Hampton Institute, for which no tuition and no entrance examination are required. Warren K. Blodgett, director of the Hampton Institute Agricultural school states that this course will open on December 4, although students must register by December 1. "Anyone," says Director Blodgett, 'who has attended the elementary school and can read, write, and do a little figuring is eligible. He will be given one cultural subject, such as 'English,' and the two agricultural subjects this year will probably be horticulture and poultry, and possibly farm crops. "We have two men coming to Hampton Institute from Penn School on St. Helena Island, S. C. They will come because they won scholarships, which will pay their expenses, for having had the best farm products during last year. "The facilities and instructors that are available for Hampton's collegiate work in agriculture will be utilized for the short-course men, who, during three months, will become part of the Institute life." According to the Hampton Institute Catalogue announcement the total living expenses will, probably amount for the three months to $65 or $75. Each student will be given a certificate indicating his attendance and the studies which he has creditably pursued. PRICE, FIVE CENTS BAR OF COLOR IN CHRISTIANITY IS HINDRANCE IN S. AFRICA MOHAMMEDANISM ADVANCING BECAUSE OF ITS SANITY ON COLOR QUESTION. Johannesburg, S. Africa, Nov. 14.—(Crusader Service.) Commenting on the recent conference of the African Section of the Diocese of Johannesburg the Abantu-Batho—one of the leading native newspapers published in the vernacular and in English makes the following interesting editorial statements: "We are on the threshold of great things. There is something moving among the Bantu people—something with which both Church and state will reckon in the near future. There has come into being among the Bantu people a new spirit—spirit of nationalism. That is why there is a religious and political discontent among them. Today they know that they are a people, and that they have a definite place in God's scheme of things. They are growing into manhood, and it will be useless for anybody to try and prevent their progress. "Those who followed the discussion, which took place in the conference, must have been struck by the bold manner in which protests were made against the colour bar in Church. To some people these protests may appear to be childish or to the work of "motive agitators." In consequence they will attach no importance to them, but we who know how our people fear in the matter of their rights can see it big in the distance something similar to European reformation. Christianity as taught by Europeans has so far failed to carry out the objects and ideals of its Founder. In the first place, it has failed to establish one Church, and in consequence has made the establishment of a human brotherhood under the Fatherhood of God impossible; while it teaches the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man nevertheless it still recognizes and worse than this it encourages with all its might, the gulf between Jew and Gontille. It draws a line of imaration between colour and colour, race and race nation and nation. Thus it may be said, without exaggeration that it is responsible for all the hatred and bitterness that exist throughout the Christian World'. For how can we account for the atrocities and barbarities that were committed during the great war by the Christian Nations of Europe. We never heard of a Mohammedan nation waging war against the followers of Islam. But the world today is in a state of turmoil and murder is suffering because of the jealousies and unrearls that exist among the Christian Nations. "The failure of European Christianity lies in the fact that the religion of the Son of Man has been used as a political weapon for taming undeveloped races to facilitate their exploitation by white men. No one can find fault with Christianity as taught by Christ on the banks of the Jordan, the sea of Galilee and on the mount of Olives. There Christ taught the love of God for all mankind; He taught the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of men; He preached the gospel of peace on earth and goodwill to all men. To him Jew and Gentile were the sons of God bound (together by the ties of his Fatherly love. But European Christianity is the anti-thesis of these doctrines; it preaches nationalism, racialism and sectarianism. Now the question is whether here in Africa Protestantism will be allowed to continue its mischief of making or not? But the challenge that has been made by the Native section of the Dacsec of Johannesburg clearly shows that it will sooner or later, face in African Protestantism. No one can deny the fact that our people throughout the country are fed up with the policy of segregation in Church and State. The day is not far off when they will claim absolute control of their affairs, both religiously and politically. Already there is a good number of them who have, on account of colour bar in church come to the conclusion that what is wanted is the establishment of a national church controlled by them selfs. The agitation of the Native section of the Anglican church for absolute equality in church is a significant sign of the times, it is a sign which shows that Protestantism is passing through a crisis which is bound to culminate into something similar, as we have already said, to European reformation. More and more the educated. (Continued on Fourth Page.) (Continued on Fourth Pago.)

GIFFORD PINCHOT'S PLURALITY JUMPS UP TO 255,492. Philadelphia, Nov. 8.—The plurality of Gifford Pinchot. Governor-elect of Pennsylvania, continued to mount as additional returns were received from remote sections of the State. Tonight the successful nominee had a lead of 255.492 over John A. McSparan, his Democratic rival. Major David A. Reed, candidate for United States Senator for the long term beginning next month had a lead of 349.189 over Samuel E. Shull, the Democratic candidate, in 6,430 districts. The returns so far received gave Rock 652.610 and Shull 333.421. The vote of Representative Burke candidate for Senator on the Progressive ticket, did not appear to be heavy. Returns from 6,423 districts gave George Wharton Pepper, candidate for the unexpired term of the late Senator Boies Penrose, a majority of 331,221 over Fred B. Kerr, the Democratic canidate. On the face of the unofficial returns the Democrats gained six Representatives in Pennsylvania in the election giving them a delegation of seven in the next House. The Democrats also increased their representation in the Legislature. Less than half of the counties have reported the vote in the home rule constitutional amendment but these show that many of the rural communities voted against it. Philadelphia gave a majority of nearly 79,000 in favor of it. NEWS SPORTDOM DOPE Inter-collegiate Championship Game FOOTBALL CLASSIC VIRGINIA SEMINARY & COLLEGE vs V. N. I. I.

He thinks the business can be arranged for July 4 without any trouble. The letter comes from Omahn, where Dempsey played a vaudeville engagement last week. Kearns admits that the champion is tiring of stage work. However, it is probably not Dempsey's fatigue that is putting Kearns' shoulder to the wheel of pugilistic events. It is the prospect of the huge financial returns involved in the Wilms match. Kearns and Dempsey figuring together or figure that Carpentier, who was not conceded a chance against Dempsey, could draw $1,600,000, then, Wills, who is believed by many to have a very good chance, ought to draw as much. Of course, conditions have changed to some extent since Dempsey and Carpenter met, and the gate may not reach the expectations of Dempsey and Kearns Nevertheless, it is bound to be big. Kearns signed for the match on behalf of Dempsey some time ago with the aciturn Paddy Mullens, acting for Wills. It is no particular secret that the match was not pulled off this year, because Governor Miller did not want it held before election. The Governor or at least the Governor's advisers did not feel that a bout of championship magnitude between the white man and a colored man was the safest political risk in the world. They feared something might happen to hurt the Governor's chances of re-election if he permitted the fight. Something worse than a prize fight hurt the Governor, as it turned out. --- HOWARD OUTLUCKS V. N I I Petersburg, Va., Nov. 11—In what local authorities consider the heat brand of football ever seen on the local gridiron the Howard aggregation was favored by the gods of chance and by one fluke touch down and a well placed drop-kick defeated the Petersburg team. The local boys made their only tally by two long forward passes and by two plays thru tackle in which Nicholas the Virginia fullback did some very nifty line plunging. Coles was the receiver of both of the long forward passes but when the ball was on the Howard five yard line Turner shot a pass to Coles and it caromed off the shoulder pad of one of the Howard players and big Lee the all-star Petersburg tackle grabbed the pigskin and stepped over the Howard line for a touch down. The try for goal failed. The Howard score also came in the second half. With the ball in mid field Howard sent a play thru tackle and Coles who was the last man on Petersburg defensive had him but slipped. Brown got there too late to hold the fleet Howard back and he raced down the half field for a touch down. In the first quarter the ball was in Petersburg territory most of the time. In the second quarter it was kept in mid field and after that it was in Howard's territory with one exception—when the Howard team by a succession of plays carried the ball to the Petersburg 15 yard line but here Petersburg held for downs and soon punted out of danger. Both of the lines held well with Petersburg having a shade of adv age in holding back line plays and Howard having the edge in blocking kicks. Three of Petersburg attempts at扑unting were blocked and the try for goal after touchdown was blocked. Bull dog Williams being the chief instigator in that line of attack. The work of Williams, Holton and Doneghy showed up well for Howard, while Thrift, Lee and Coles were the Petersburg satellites. # HOWARD PETERSBURO Long R. E. Arkward Crawford R. T. Lee Nurse R. G.

Two thousand people witnessed the battle between Shaw University and Hampton Institute and saw two evenly matched teams fight for three quarters with the pigskin hovering in midfield. The game was played at Hampton on Arm strong Field and marked Hampton's third victory at home. Until the fourth quarter neither THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA team was able to make enough gains to carry the ball over for a touchdown Time after time Shaw hit for big gains, but, after having made such gains Hampton's line would stiffen and Shaw would be forced to kick. HAMPTON'S AERIAL ATTACK The fourth quarter opened with Shaw in possession of the oval on her 30 yard line. She was not able to pene trate the barrier put up by the "Seasiders" and decided to punt out of danger; Shaw kicked only 11 yards. Hampton then began to forward pass. Three attempts were made and all were completed. The first: Gunn to Jones, netted 12 yards. The second was from Jacobs to Ruffin and netted 3 yards. The third pass was again thrown by Jacobs and received by Rufin. Ruffin received the pass and dragged three men on his back 5 yards before they were able to down him. This aerial attack had advanced the ball to Shaw's 17 yard line. Cardozo on two at temps hit the line for a total of 9 yards. Jacobs called his next play, Capt. Ed ward L. Dabney here exhibited his knowledge of generalship and called his play instead. The result was a line plunge by Cardozo for 8 yards, which put the pigskin over for a touchdown. Gunn scored the extra point from drop kick formation. Shaw lined up to receive the kickoff. Because of the long kicks that Hampton had been making to Shaw's 3 and 5 yard lines. Shaw lined her men in such a manner that her nearest man was 30 yards from the ball. SHAW FORFEITS TO HAMPTON A statement by the officials of the game as to what then happen follows: "On the kick-off after touchdown, Hampton kicked to Shaw's 42-yard line, Hampton recovering the ball. Shaw contended that the ball was not kicked 10 yards. The Headlinesman, the Field Judge, and the Umpire ruled that the ball had been kicked eighteen yards. Shaw then said that the ball should have been kicked ten yards in the air. The rule simply says that the ball must travel at least ten yards with out being touched by an opponent, Mr. Hucles, the Shaw coach, came on the field without permission and ordered his team off without conferring with the officials or his captain. While on the field, Mr. Hucles cursed the officials and acted in a very unsportmanlike manner. He later admitted his fault and apologized to the officials for his conduct.—Signed C. L. Pinderhughes Referee; S. C. Poppage Umpire; Benjamin Washington Field Judge; T. L. Puryear, Headlinesman. PLAYERS SHOW MERIT. The playing of Williams and Taylor for the visitors was very good. Hampton will remember the big gatins made by these men. Shaw has a well-balanced team with a heady quarterback to direct it any a very fast back field. The Hampton team was slow in getting together. The line was slightly weak. On the whole the Hampton men played good ball. Scott was removed from the game on account of a slight injury. His place was ably filled by Cardozo who made consistent gains. On Saturday, November 18th, the Hampton team will journey to Washington to meet the strong Howard University team. The next game to be played on Armstrong Field will be on Thanksgiving Day with Union, who recently defeated Morehouse of Atlanta "the Southern Champions"—by the score of 19 to 0. HAMPTON 1, SHAW 0.

PURCHASES LAND The Stearns Silk factory, located on the northside of the Appomattox river and adjoining the Institute property, has been purchased by the Institute. This property consists of 6 buildings and four acres of land. The buildings will be used to house all the trades in connection with the school together with the agricultural department. This purchase gives to the Institute the immediate use of 32,000 square feet of floor space, water power to the extent of 125 horse power, and the posession of a water front on the Appomattox river for a distance of a half mile. The Board of Visitors met at the Institute on Friday, November 10th. This was the inspection meeting of the Board. Conditions at the Institute met with their approval. These men discussed and voted many helpful measures for the advancement of the work done at the Institute. They have in mind the future possibilities of this Negro School, established and maintained by the state for the development of the Negro boys and girls, men and women, and are broad in their policies in regard to Negro education in the State. ```markdown ``` DR.

ROYAL SEE'S NEW DAY WITH A DEMAND FOR FAIR TREATMENT Whether the women read the signs at the cross roads right or whether contentions within the Republican told produced the greatest defection in the recent election there is much speculation. Among the colored voters the spectre of Lilly-whiteism—a denial of patronage, nationally and locally—pusky-footing the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill—the high tariff bills—the soldiers' bonus—direct primaries—social equality issue raised by Senator William M. Clader—Congressman Ansorge's "Holly Funble," failing to appoint a matronate, unfair redistricting and a general dissatisfaction over white district leaders naming colored men to lead in Harlem are partly responsible for the Democratic handside in that end of the city November 7th. The failure of state and national offorts on part of the Republican Organization to "tear up Jack" as was expected, in the recent election, spell some very definite things politically; chief among which are: (first) That progressive republicanism must have substantial consideration in the patronage, the power and prestige of party affairs. (Second). That leadership must be based upon the votes of the electorate; and that all fencing, convining and bias which make flesh of some and fish of others must be cast aside to insure a healthy, vigorous successful party action. Clique domination is a dead cock in the pit. (Third). That a redistricting of the political subdivisions in the county of New York should be made at the very earliest possible moment in a way that will guarantee the 200,000 colored population of Harlem opportunity to fight out its political differences without interference from outside influences. The present situation, continued, will only add one Democratic victory to another year after year. ((Fourth). That trickery, cunning and whispering on the colored people by those who stand only for self and personal plunder must be relegated to the rear; and ideas, visions and consecrated concern for the public weal must be brought to the fore-front. (Fifth.) Leadership being based upon the political sub-divisions, called assembly districts, all interlers and self-styled race leaders should be required to work and make good in his particular, political sub-division; and not be permitted to roam and dabble (his "make-believe") leadership in districts which he does not reside. This isn't true among any other dectorate except the colored politicians. POLITICS IS BUSINESS The sooner political organizations realize that the colored voters are now studying the business end of the game, the quicker party results may be expected in the centre of New York. Before the primaries the Republican Party "fused" together many Democrats to be candidates after the election the (Continued on Fourth Page) H. T. Burleigh, the eminent Negro musician and composer has written a letter to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in which he urges the cooperation of colored and white people in preserving from dobssement in jazz the musical treasure of the Negro Spirituals. Mr. Burleigh's letter, as made public by the Advancement Association today at 70 Fifth Avenue, New York says in part: The growing tendency of some of our musicians to utilize the melodies of our Spirituals for fox trots; dance numbers and semi-sentimental songs is; I feel a serious menace to the artistic standing and development of the race. These melodies are our prized possession. They were created for a definite purpose and are designed to demonstrate and perpetuate the deepest aesthetic endowment of the race. They are the only legacy of slavery days that we can be proud of;—our one, priceless contribution to the vast must --- New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Illinois elected five colored men to serve in State Legislatures in the election of Nov. 7.

A JAPANESE IS DENIED NATURALIZATION A JAPANESE IS DENIED NATURALIZATION Honolulu, Nov. 13.—(Associated Press.)—The legal attack of Takao Ozawa, Japanese salesman for a large wholesale firm here to gain American citizenship was launched in the Hawaiian courts several years ago and is said to have drawn financial support from the Japanese colony in the effort to make it a deciding test case. Among other contentions Ozawa advanced the claim that he is "white," and in an effort to prove his point, he traced the history of the Japanese nation for several thousand years, back to the Ainu tribe. He included in his argument the assertion that Solicitor James M. Beck had expressed the belief that this particular portion of the Japanese race has the distinct mark of the Caucasian. Ozawa is well educated and speaks excellent English. He came to Hawaii while a young man. One of his points was that he had taken special care to educate his children in the American public schools of the territory and to familiarize them with American customs and ideals in order that they might become loyal American citizens. He asserted that his children had not been taught the Japanese language and that nothing that pertained to Japan had been permitted to enter their education or religion. MARRIAGE ANNOUNCEMENT Mr. J.

Assails calls in Dance Tunes. In them we have a mine of musical wealth that is everlasting. Into their making was poured the aspiration of a race in bondage, whose religion—in tensely felt—was their whole hope and comfort, and the only vehicle through which their inner spirits soured free. "They rank with the great folk-music of the world and among the loveliest of chanted prayers" Now, since this body of folk-song ex presses the soul of a race, it is a holy thing. To use it and not artificialize or cheapen it calls for reverence and true devotion to its spiritual significance. Yet these delinquent musicians contemptuously disregard these traditions for personal commercial gain. Their use of the melodies debases the pure meaning of the tunes, converting and perverting them into tawdy dance measures or maudlin popular songs. Their work is meretricious sacrilegious and wanently destructive. It offends the aesthetic feelings of all (Continued on Fifth Page.)

She finished a course in Milner les at Berean Manual Training School Philadelphia, Pa. In 1920 she became a member of the faculty of Selma University, Selma, Ala. In 1921 she accepted a position in Cookman Institute, Jacksonville, Fla., and was at her post of duty, when her health failed in March 1922 at which time she returned home and bore her sufferings patiently until the end came.

When the Campaign workers made their final reports which showed that they had "gone over" $200 both women and girls were beside themselves with joy and enthusiasm. Too much credit cannot be given to women for the splendid spirit of cooperation and team work which was shown all through the tremendous Drive. Richmond proved that her girls are worth it.

NORMAN NOMINATED FOR PRESIDENT. While in Washington, D. C., last week preaching for Rev. L. R. Frayer D. D., we learned that the Baptist of the District had nominated Rev. Moses W. D. Norman, D. D., L. L. D., for President of the National Baptist Convention Inc. At present Dr. Norman is President of the Mt. Bethel Association and pastor of one of the greatest churches of our denomination. He is scholarly, dignified and displays considerable executive ability. A man ripe with experience and a successful leader of men. In our opinion Dr. Norman would be a fit successor to the lamented Dr. E. C. Morris as leader of the Baptist Forces of our country. Teachers are wanted for country schools. Write to M. W. Byrd, Central Point, Va. COLLEGE EDUCATION FOR GIRLS HERE. A very important conference was held in Richmond last week, looking toward the creation here of a standard college course for girls. Boards from the American Baptist Home Mission Society controlling the Hartshorn Memorial College and Virginia Union University were here in conference with the school heads and interested citizens. The indications are that the standard college course will be established, either at Hart born or that Union will become a co-educational institution and girls entered for the college degrees. In either event the girls will get a chance. DR. J. J. JONES SUES PULLMAN COMPANY Raleigh, N.

HAMPTON INSTITUTE WILL HELP YOUNG FARMERS. Hampton, Va., Nov. 14.—Young and ambitious Negro farmers who have no time or the money to take a full course but who wish to receive more training in scientific methods of farming so as to be able to make a better living on the land may soon take the three month, agricultural short course at Hampton Institute, for which no tuition and no entrance examination are required. Warren K. Blodgett, director of the Hampton Institute Agricultural school states that this course will open on December 4, although students must register by December 1. "Anyone," says Director Blodgett, "who has attended the elementary school and can read, write, and do a little figuring is eligible. He will be given one cultural subject, such as English, and the two agricultural subjects this year will probably be horticulture and poultry, and possibly farm erons. "We have two men coming to Hampton Institute from Penn School on St. Helena Island, S. C. They will come because they won scholarships, which will pay their expenses, for having had the best farm products during last year. "The facilities and instructors that are available for Hampton's collegiate work in agriculture will be utilized for the short-course men, who, during three months, will become part of the Institute life." According to the Hampton Institute Catalogue announcement the total living expenses will probably amount for the three months to $65 or $75. Each student will be given a certificate indicating his attendance and the studies which he has creditably pursued. PRICE, FIVE CENTS BAR OF COLOR IN CHRISTIANITY IS HINDRANCE IN S. AFRICA MOHAMMEDANISM ADVANCING BECAUSE OF US SANITY ON COLOR QUESTION. Johannesburg, S. Africa, Nov. 14.— (Crusader Service.) Commenting on the recent conference of the African Section of the Diocese of Johannesburg, the Abantu-Ratio, one of the leading native newspapers published in the vernacular and in English makes the following interesting editorial statements: "We are on the threshold of great things. There is something moving among the Bantu people—something with which both Church and state will reckon in the near future. There has come into being among the Bantu people a new spirit—spirit of nationalism. That is why there is a religious and political discontent among them. Today they know that they are a people, and that they have a definite place in God's scheme of things. They are growing into manhood, and it will be useless for anybody to try and prevent their progress. "Those who followed the discussion which took place in the conference must have been struck by the hold manner in which protests were made against the colour bar in Church. To some people these protests may appear to be childish or to be the work of "motive agitators." In consequence they will attach no importance to them, but we who know how our people feel in the matter of their rights can see coming in the distance something similar to European reformation. Christianity as taught by Europeans has so far failed to carry out the objects and ideals of its Founder. In the first place, it has failed to establish one Church, and in consequence has made the establishment of a human brotherhood under the Fatherhood of God impossible: while it teaches the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man nevertheless it still recognizes and worse than this it encourages with all its might, the guilt between Jew and Gentile. It draws a line of imaration between colour and colour, race and race nation and nation. Thus it may be said, without exaggeration that it is responsible for all the hatred and bitterness that exist throughout the Christian World'. For how can we account for the atrocities and harbours that were committed during the great war by the Christian Nations of Europe. We never heard of a Mohammeden nation waging war against the followers of Islam. But the world today is in a state of turmoil and mankind is suffering because of the jealousies and onarrese that exist among the Christian Nations. "The failure of European Christianity lies in the fact that the religion of the Son of Man has been used as a political weapon for taming undeveloped races to facilitate their exploitation by white men. No one can find fault with Christianity as taught by Christ on the banks of the Jordan the sea of Galilee and on the mount of Olives. There Christ taught the love of God for all mankind; He taught the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of men; He preached the gospel of peace on earth and goodwill to all men. To him Jew and Gentile were the sons of God bound together by the ties of his Paterly love. But European Christianity is the anti-thesis of these doctrines, preaches nationalism, racialism and sectarianism. Now the question is whether here in Africa Protestantism will be allowed to continue its mischief of making it not? But the challenge that has been made by the Native section of the Dacoe of Johannesburg clearly shows that it will sooner or later, face an African Protestantism. No one can deny the fact that our people throughout the country are fed up with the policy of segregation in Church and State. The day is not far off when they will claim absolute control of their affairs, both religiously and politically. Already there is a good number of them who have, on account of colour bar in church come to the conclusion that what is wanted is the establishment of a national church controlled by them selves. The agitation of the Native section of the Anglican church for absolute equality in church is a significant sign of the times, it is a sign which shows that Protestantism is passing through a crisis which is bound to culminate into something similar, as we have already said, to European reformation. More and more the educated. (Continued on p. 119.) (Continued on Fourth Pago.) REPUBLICANS CONTROL NEXT CONGRESS BY NARROW MARGIN IN BOTH BRANCHES WILL HOLD HOUSE BY FIFTEEN AND SENATE BY TEN DESPITE DEMOCRATIC GAINS. TWO Returns up to a late hour indicate that the Senate will stand 53 Republicans, 42 Democrats, 1 Farmer-Labor, giving the Republicans a majority of 10. In the House 225 Republicans, 207 Democrats, one Socialist, one Farmer Labor and one Independent compose the body, giving the Republican a majority of fifteen. BERGER, TWICE DENIED SEAT IS ELECTED AGAIN. Milwaukee, Nov. S.—Victor L. Berger, Socialist leader in Wisconsin and editor, and one of the framers of the party's national platform in St. Louis condemning the principles of the world war, has been elected Representative in Congress from the Fifth Wisconsin district for the third time. Mr. Berger was denied his seat on both his previous elections and he declared after assured of victory in yesterday's election that one of the issues was the right of the voters to elect whom they chose. The other issue, he said, was the party's determined stand against the world war. Mr. Berger was elected after one of the quietest Socialist campaigns in Wisconsin's history. He defeated William H. Stafford Republican against whom he fell two years ago. Along with four Socialist leaders Mr. Berger on January 8, 1919, was found guilty of conspiring to violate the espionage law in the Federal court at Chicago The Supreme Court of the United States refused to sustain his conviction. --- RUTH TAYLOR LOSES ELECTION FOR JUDGE. Cheyenne, Wyo., Nov. 8.—After having served at Washington almost continuously for more than a quarter century, Frank W. Mondell, Republican floor leader in the national House of Representatives, will go out of office March 4. He was retired yesterday when he made an unsuccessful race for the Sonate seat now held by John B. Kendrick. On the face of returns Kendrick was re-elected by a margin of around 5,000. The race for the Governorship continues close, with John W. Hay, Republican, trailing W. B. Ross, Democrat. Judge Charles E. Winter, Republican apparently was elected to Congress to succeed Mondell. MONDELL LOSES SEAT AFTER 25 YEARS IN CONGRESS. New York, Nov. 8.—Miss Ruth Taylor, Republican nominee for Judge of the new Children's Court of Westchester county, was defeated by George C. Appell, City Judge of Mount Vernon, Democrat, by more than 1,200 votes. Miss Taylor was the only Republican defended for county office. The others were elected by pluralities ranging from 11,000 to 12,000. George H. Taylor, Jr., of Mount Vernon, president of Weschester County Bar Association, was elected Justice of Supreme Court of the Ninth District by a plurality of 22,400. Mr. Taylor, who was opposed by John B. Coyle of White Plains, Democrat, carried every county as follows: Westchester 12,100; Orange 4,800; Rockland 800; Putnam 300 and Dutchess 4,400. The fight against Miss Taylor was made on the contention that she did not have the legal ability to hold the position. On election night the reports received at Republican county headquarters at White Plains showed that Miss Taylor had been elected and she was congratulated. This needless congratulation was due to a miscalculation of figures from different towns of the county. Her college friends had gathered at White Plains headquarters and when report that she had won had been received they hugged and kissed her. Miss Taylor would have won had it not been for the city of Yonkers, which gave more than 5 000 majority in favor of Judge Appell. Miss Taylor carried every town in the county outside of Cordland, Harrison, Mount Vernon and Yonkers. The Republican organization of Westchester county, of which William L. Ward is the leader, elected every 10 or county officer by big pluralities. NEW JERSEY IS 90,000 WET IN EDWARDS' VOTE. --- Trenton, Nov. 8.—New Jersey Democrats are already putting forth a tentative Presidential boom for Governor Edward I. Edwards in 1924 because of his success in the political upheaval of Tuesday which overturned a Republican plurality of more than 350,000 two years ago into a Democratic plurality approximating 50,000 votes. They point to the fact that the issue between the Governor and Senator Joseph S. Frolinghuysen the defeated Republican candidate for reelection developed into an out and out wet and dry fight, and they predict that the Governor's triumph will make him the outstanding Democratic wet figure in the country. The Democratate point out that Senator Frolinghuysen was admitted dry and frequently expressed himself as in favor of the enforcement of the Vol- stand act. The Republicans also have admitted now that the battle between the Governor and Senator Frelnghyin sen was a wet and dry fight, a fight between the prohibition and the wet element. This afternoon Edward O. Stokes, former Governor and now chairman of the State Republican Committee, issued this statement: "It is evident that the voters of New Jersey are against the provision of the Volstead act as now constituted. Three years ago and yesterday their verdict on this question was unmistakable." REPUBLICANS MAY SWITCH This declaration by Mr. Stokes indicates the probability of a decided change in the attitude of the State Re publican organization, which for two years has been committed to law enforcement as represented by the Volstead act. It also indicates that a fight will probably be made to modify such platform pledges in the future. Both the Democrats and Republicans recognize that Governor Edwards and his running mate, Judge George S. Silzer, who defeated William N. Runyon for Governor by approximately 60,000 received many thousands of Republican votes and they admit that it was solely because of his attitude on prohibition The Democratic victory was less apparent in the legislative elections than in the races for United States Senator and Governor although the Republican candidates were chosen by greatly reduced majorities. Of the eight State Senators elected seven were Republicans, a gain of one in Mercer county. The Republicans also elected forty-four Assemblymen to sixteen for the Democrats. Politicians declared that this was due in large, measure to the fact that the dry Republican candidates in Essex county were defeated in the primaries and the Republican voters cast their ballots for the wet candidates on their own party ticket in preference to the Democrats. That prohibition was the determining factor in the election of Governor Edwards and Judge Silzer is shown by the results in Atlantic county, which includes Atlantic city, Senator Freelhysen and Mr. Runyon carried the county, but they did so with pluralities which probably will not exceed a thousand, much smaller than the usual Republican margin. On the other hand the county Republican ticket was swept into office by majorities running two and three to one, and Isaac Bach arach for Congress received almost four times as many votes as his Democratic opponent. FRELINGHUYSEN'S STATEMENT Senator Frelinghuysen issued this statement yesterday afternoon from his headquarters in Raritan: "The voters of New Jersey have seen fit to choose Gov. Edwards for their Senator. It is my earnest hope that he may serve our State well, and maintain what New Jersey deserves in the Senate. This is my sincere wish. I have earnestly striven to represent the people of this State honorably and in a dignified manner. The war and the work, which I have faithfully tried to perform, I have no apologies to make for my record and I adhere to the principles advocated in the campaign. "The Republican party still lives, an agency for good government and service to the country. I am a Republican and shall work for the success of the party until the expiration of my term. I shall continue in the Senate to do my best for the State and as a private citizen I shall devote myself to the State, and particularly to the interests of its schools and agriculture. I wish to express my deep appreciation to my loyal and devoted friends throughout the State." OTHER LEGISLATORS Practically, complete returns show that Mercer county elected two Republican Assemblymen; Middlesey elected two Republican and one Democrat; Passaic elected five Republicans; Camden elected three Republicans; Atlantic county elected two Republicans and Burlington, Cape May, Cumberland; Gloucester and Morris counties elected one Republican cagr. The sweep of the Democrats in Hudson county, the great Edwards stronghold, which gave him a majority of more than 85,000 practically wiped out the Republican organization there. Not a single branch of the county government will be under that party's control after next April, when the Prosecutor Pierre P. Garvin retires JUDGE SCORES ARRESTING OFFICER. Washington, D. C., Nov. 11—James H. Johnson, who operates a stable for his own use near the Georgetown bridge, charged with operating a livery stable without the required District of Columbia permit, was acquitted in the District Police Court last Thursday. Johnson had been arrested by Policeman A. H. Pool. In the taking of evidence it developed that Johnson had filed charges against Policeman Blackburn, charging that the officer had forced him to release a horse be cause seventeen days' housing and feed had not been paid. It was alleged in the evidence that Johnson had been arrested by Pool to get even with Johnson because he had filed charges against officer Blackburn Judge McMahon, in dismissing the case, remarked that the warrant for Johnson's arrest should not have been issued.

Nov. 8.—Hearings in the arrest of five young white men just Thursday, three of them brothers following a fight on Monday night in which one of the brothers was shot and a Negro student painfully stabbed. George Williams, aged 18 years, a student in Edward Waters College, was discharged. It was testified that he took no active part in the fight. Alfred Culner of Edward Waters College is still in the hospital. He was stabbed several times in the abdomen during the altercation. His condition physi clans say is favorable and he will probably be released from the hospital in a few days. The fight started, the police say, when one of the white men under arrest, began quarrelling among themselves in a crowd of Negro students standing at Kings Road and Davis street. It is said that during the fight among themselves they hit some of the Negroes and then stabbed Culiner and the fight ended in a "free-for-all." A. D.

GARVEY THANKS WHITE SOUTHERNERS FOR LYNCHINGS. (Preston News Service) Raleigh, N. C., Oct. 31.—Marcus Garvey, provisional president of Africa, delivered an address at the Negro fair here last Wednesday afternoon in which he praised the southern white people for lynching the American Negro as they have been doing, claiming that by this means they were making the Negro become conscious of the fact that he is not wanted in this country and can never make any progress as a race here. Garvey declared, "If a northern white man tells me he loves me, I say he is a liar. The white man of the south hates the Negro and is honest enough to say so." "When we get into our republic in Africa we mean to dispise the whites because the blacks will have everything and the whites nothing. That's why the southern white man dispises us now and is frank enough to tell you so. He has everything and you have nothing, so don't blame him for dispising you. He has contempt for you because you won't do anything for yourselves. "So long as you remain a pauper race, dependent upon another race, just so long will the world dispise you. This is not social equality. I don't want to associate with a man who does not want to associate with me. "God never created the white man superior; the white man made himself superior. God is not responsible for your condition. God is, our spiritual overlord and you are responsible for what you are." "I thank the southern white man for giving the Negro a race consciousness. Sometimes it has required beating, sometimes lynching, but he has it. In the south there is more wealth among the Negroes than anywhere in the world because the white man has forced the Negro to do something for him self. "Some Negroes believe in their religion so blindly that they expect it to provide breakfast, dinner, and sup per for them; but I know that if I do no get up and hustle the Lord will never provide for me. "Don't hate the white man just to cause he dispises you. He dispises you because you are after something which belongs to him." "I don't want anybody to misunderstand me. If you had a hundred dollars in your pocket and good clothes on your back, and had to associate constantly with a tramp who had nothing, you wouldn't like it, well that's the reason why the white man doesn't like you. "WHY THE MILLION DOLLARS?" Pittsburgh, Pa., Nov.1.—In speaking about the national movement among Negro women throughout the country under the auspices of the Anti-Lynching Crusaders to get a million members and a million dollars, Attorney Robert L. Vann, former Assistant City Solicitor, said in addressing a group of young people here last Monday night that he was in favor of the move ment to secure one million Negroes throughout the country to urge the passage of the Dyer Bill, but he was unable to see the logic in raising a million dollars for the passage of the measure. Attorney Vann said in part: "Mr. Dyer, now nationally known as the father of the Anti-Lynching bill said, in the course of an address, that if a million people get back of the Anti-Lynching Bill it would pass. "Any reasonable person who knows any thing, knows that Mr. Dyer has no authority to commit the United State Senate. He has no authority to say to any audience what will he necessary to pass any proposed Bill. Indeed, his remarks were made casual if we understand the context, and were not intended to be taken literally. "Yet as soon as someone heard his words, immediately a new drive was launched. The slogan was to get a million women back of the Dyer Bill. The slogan was soon changed to include a million dollars with the million women. "Let us be sane, if not intelligent. What can be done with a Million Dollars? Is it proposed to buy up a few Senators and their votes? If it will take a million, why not two millions? Where will the f'qures stop? Who will accept the money and guarantee the passage of the Dyer Bill? Who will spend the money when it is raised? Who will make a report of the expenditures? "And further, I have seen a letter from New York City, in which it was stated that a certain speaker, proposed for a murg meeting here, should be given ONE-HALF of the Gross receipt taken at the door, and the local organization should receive the other half, which is to be sent later to New York City and deposited in the Guartee Trust Company there. "This is too much for me. I can never lend myself to any such scheme to raise a million dollars to be handled that way. Then what becomes of the Dyer Bill, if the million is to be handled in that way? "A million women! Why not a million men? What is the difference? Is it thought that the Dear Woman would fall for the Bunk, and the men would not? Get a million people interested in the Dyer Bill, if you please. Let them be white people, men and women; colored people, men and women, but I cannot see the necessity of raising a million dollars. Senators of the United States will not fall for that Bunk It sounds like an attempt to bribe. Never can I subscribe to this Million Dollar idea."

New York, Nov. 8, S.-Miss Ruth Taylor, Republican nominee for Judge of the new Children's Court of Westchester county, was defeated by George C. Appell, City Judge of Mount Vernon, Democrat, by more than 1,200 votes. Miss Tayler was the only Republican defended for county office. The others were elected by pluralities ranging from 11,000 to 12,000. George H. Taylor, Jr., of Mount Vernon, president of Westchester County Bar Association, was elected Justice of Supreme Court of the Ninth District by a plurality of 22,400.

The fight against Miss Taylor was made on the contention that she did not have the legal ability to hold the position.

Runyon for Governor by approximately 60,000 received many thousands of Republican votes and they admit that it was solely because of his attitude on prohibition THE NEW YORKER The Democratic victory was less apparent in the legislative elections than in the races for United States Senator and Governor although the Republican candidates were chosen by greatly reduced majorities. Of the eight State Senators elected seven were Republicans, a gain of one in Mercer county. The Republicans also elected forty-four Assemblymen to sixteen for the Democrats. Politicians declared that this was due in large, measure to the fact that the dry Republicic candidates in Essex county were defeated in the primaries and the Republican voters cast their ballots for the wet candidates on their own party ticket in preference to the Democrats. That prohibition was the determining factor in the election of Governor Edward and Judge Silzer is shown by the results in Atlantic county, which includes Atlantic city, Senator Freelinghysen and Mr. Runyon carried the county, but they did so with pluralities which probably will not exceed a thousand, much smaller than the usual Republican margin. On the other hand the county Republican ticket was swept into office by majorities running two and three to one, and Isaac Bach arach for Congress received almost four times as many votes as his Democratic opponent. TEMPOPARY DIRECTOR OF WAR DEPT. WELFARE BUREAU. ```markdown ``` FREELINGHUYSEN'S STATEMENT. Senator Frelinghuysen issued this statement yesterday afternoon from his headquarters in Raritan: "The voters of New Jersey have seen fit to choose Gov. Edwards for their Senator. It is my earnest hope that he may serve our State well, and maintain what New Jersey deserves in the State. This is my sincere wish. I have earnestly striven to represent the people of this State honorably and in a dignified manner. The war and the work, which I have faithfully tried to perform, I have no apologies to make for my record and I adhere to the principles advocated in the campaign. "The Republican party still lives, an agency for good government and service to the country. I am a Republican and shall work for the success of the party until the expiration of my term. I shall continue in the Senate to do my best for the State and as a private citizen I shall devote myself to the State, and particularly to the interests of its schools and agriculture. I wish to express my deep appreciation to my loyal and devoted friends throughout the State." OTHER LEGISLATORS Practically, complete returns show that Mercer county elected two Republican Assemblymen; Middlesboro elected two Republican and one Democrat; Passaic elected five Republicans; Camden elected three Republicans; Atlantic county elected two Republicans and Burlington, Cape May, Cumberland; Gloucester and Morris counties elected one Republican earl. "The sweep of the Democrats in Hudson county, the great Edwards stronghold, which gave him a majority of more than 85,000 practically wiped out the Republican organization there. Net a single branch of the county government will be under that party's control after next April, when the Prosecutor Pierre P. Garvin retires. JUDGE SCORES ARRESTING OFFICER.

Johnson, who operates a stable for his own use near the Georgetown bridge, charged with operating a livery stable without the required District of Columbia permit, was acquitted in the District Police Court last Thursday. Johnson had been arrested by Policeman A. H. Pool. In the taking of evidence it developed that Johnson had filed charges against Policeman Blackburn, charging that the officer had forced him to release a horse he cause seventeen days' housing and feed had not been paid. It was alleged in the evidence that Johnson had been arrested by Pool to get even with Johnson because he had filed charges against officer Blackburn Judge McMahon, in dismissing the case, remarked that the warrant for Johnson's arrest should not have been issued.

Nov. 8.—Hearings in the arrest of five young white men host Thursday, three of them brothers following a fight on Monday night in which one of the brothers was shot and a Negro student painfully stabbed. George Williams, aged 18 years, a student in Edward Waters College, was discharged. It was testified that he took no active part in the fight. Alfred Culner of Edward Waters College is still in the hospital. He was stabbed several times in the abdomen during the altercation. His condition physicians say is favorable and he will probably be released from the hospital in a few days. The fight started, the police say, when one of the white men under arrest, began quarrelling among themselves in a crowd of Negro students standing at Kings Road and Davis street. It is said that during the fight among themselves they hit some of the Negroes and then stabbed Culmer and the fight ended in a "free-for-all" THE WORLD'S SMALLEST MAN LOOKS 'EM OVER.

C., Oct. 31—Marcus Garvey, provisional president of Africa, delivered an address at the Negro fair here last Wednesday afternoon in which he praised the southern white people for lynching the American Negro as they have been doing, claiming that by this means they were making the Negro become conscious of the fact that he is not wanted in this country and can never make any progress as a race here. Garvey declared, "If a northern white man tells me he loves me, I say he is a liar. The white man of the south hates the Negro and is honest enough to say so." "When we get into our republic in Africa we mean to dispise the whites because the blacks will have everything and the whites nothing. That's why the southern white man dispises us now and is frank enough to tell you so. He has everything and you have nothing, so don't blame him for dispising you. He has contempt for you because you won't do anything for yourselves. "So long as you remain a pauper race, dependent upon another race just so long will the social dispise you. This is not social equality. I don't want to associate with a man who does not want to associate with me. "God never created the white man superior; the white man made himself superior. God is not responsible for your condition. God is our spiritual overlord and you are responsible for what you are." "I thank the southern white man for giving the Negro a race consciousness. Sometimes it has required heating, sometimes lynching, but he has it. In the south there is more wealth among the Negroes than anywhere in the world because the white man has forced the Negro to do something for himself. "Some Negroes believe in their religion so blindly that they expect it to provide breakfast, dinner, and supper for them; but I know that if I do no get up and hustle the Lord will never provide for me. "Don't hate the white man just to cause he displays you. He displies you because you are after something which belongs to him. "I don't want anybody to misunderstand me. If you had a hundred dollars in your pocket and good clothes on your back, and had to associate constantly with a tramp who had nothing, you wouldn't like it, well that's the reason why the white man doesn't like you. "WHY THE MILLION DOLLARS?" Pittsburgh, Pa., Nov.1.—In speaking about the national movement among Negro women throughout the country under the auspices of the Anti-Lynching Crusaders to get a million members and a million dollars. Attorney Robert L. Vann, former Assistant City Solicitor, said in addressing a group of young people here last Monday night that he was in favor of the movement to secure one million Negroes throughout the country to urge the passage of the Dyer Bill, but he was unable to see the logie in raising a million dollars for the passage of the measure. Attorney Vann said in part: "Mr. Dyer, now nationally known as the father of the Anti-Lynching bill said, in the course of an address, that if a million people get back of the Anti-Lynching Bill it would pass. "Any reasonable person who knows any thing, knows that Mr. Dyer has no authority to commit the United State Senate. He has no authority to say to any audience what will be necessary to pass any proposed Bill. Indeed, his remarks were made casual if we understand the context, and were not intended to be taken literally. "Yet as soon as someone heard his words, immediately a new drive was launched. The slogan was to get a million women back of the Dyer Bill. The slogan was soon changed to include a million dollars with the million women. "Let us be sane, if not intelligent. What can be done with a Million Dollars? Is it proposed to buy up a few Senators and their votes? If it will take a million, why not two millions? Where will the f figures stop? Who will accept the money and guarantee the passage of the Dyer Bill? Who will spend the money when it is raised? Who will make a report of the expenses? "And further. I have seen a letter from New York City, in which it was stated that a certain speaker, proposed for a mass meeting here, should be given ONE-HALF of the Gross receipt taken at the door, and the local organization should receive the other half, which is to be sent later to New York City and deposited in the Guarantee Trust Company there. "This is too much for me. I can never lend myself to any such scheme to raise a million dollars to be handled that way. Then what becomes of the Dyer Bill, if the million is to be handled in that way? "A million women! Why not a million men? What is the difference? Is it thought that the Dear Woman would fall for the Bunk, and the men would not? Get a million people interested in the Dyer Bill, if you please. Let them be white people, men and women; colored people, men and women, but I cannot see the necessity of raising a million dollars. Senators of the United States will not fall for that Bunk. It sounds like an attempt to bribe. Never can I subscribe to this Million Dollar idea."

Heaven may be our home, but many of us, we fear will never get there. Do not lose heart, colored folks Pray to God and walk upright. After we do the best we can, we can not do more and no reasonable person will expect more. People, who try to live right and do right seem to have the hardest time of it in this world. Lost confidence is difficult to restore but some times it can be restored under the most adverse conditions. Bearing one's own burdens is worri some enough, but often we are requir ed to bear other people's burdens as well. The result of the election, while not talkogether gratifying to the Republi- cary was not as bad as it might have been. Some time we think our troubles are greater than we can bear, but God knows best and we should put our trust in him. The preachers are still attacked from some quarters, but they still wield a powerful influence as a body as well as individually. It is becoming every day more apparent to the most superficial observer that the colored man is his own worst enemy. You can accurately gauge your friends when troubles come upon you and you can also ascertain the venom of your enemies when laboring under these adversities. Southern white people are disposed to encourage colored folks in their financial endeavors. There are others, however, who are over anxious to crush and discourage them along the same line of financial endeavor. We have received a copy of a very able sermon delivered by Rev. James St. Hatcher, B. D., D. D., pastor of the Mt. Zion A. M. B. Church Roanoke Virginia. It is entitled: "Samuel the Model Statesman and Parental Failure." The Turks have the upper hand in Europe and there is no doubt in the world, but what they know it, Europe may threaten disaster to the Ottoman Government but it is helpless to enforce its own decrees at the present time. The returns from the recent election were not altogether encouraging to the colored contingent. It demonstrates that some decided line of action should be pursued by a united body of colored people, to the end that the best results may be obtained. TO ELECT A PRESIDENT. The National Baptist Convention will meet in St. Louis, Mo., December 6th, 1922 and a President to succeed the late Rev. E. C. Morriss will be named. The denomination is rich in JAPANESE CANNOT BE NATURALIZED. --- The Supreme Court of the United States, on Monday, 13th inst., handed down an opinion that will "grate harshly" upon the sensibilities of the Japanese people and bring about, no doubt international complications. It is the question as to whether or not international law super-cedes and multifies national statutes. Under a treaty with Japan, there is a provision concerning favored nation clauses. The citizens of Great Britain and France are conceded certain rights and privileges. Among these are necessarily naturalization rights and privileges. The report says: Washington, Nov. 13.—Japanese cannot be naturalized in the United States and cannot become citizens of this country, the Supreme Court of the United States decided today in its first construction of Federal statutes bearing on the subject. The decision was the first delivered by Justice Sutherland, as a member of the court and was handed down in a case brought by Takao Ozawa, who in 1914, applied for citizenship in Hawaii. The ruling is expected to attract wide attention not only in the United States, but abroad, notwithstanding the failure of the court to make any reference to its diplomatic significance. And again: The case has long been pending in the Supreme Court, and last term when reached for argument during the conference on limitation of armaments and Far Eastern questions, its consideration was postponed at the request of the Department of Justice. No reference is to be found in the decision to the "gentleman's agreement" under which Japanese immigration in the country has been regulated. In the Ozawa case the court stated that 'there is not implied—either in the legislation or in our interpretation of it—any suggestion of individual worthiness or racial inferiority. These considerations are in no manner involved.' It also referred to the "complimentary" terms used in describing in the papers presented to the court "the culture and enlightenment of the Japanese people." With such an estimate the court said, it had "no reason to disagree." These complimentary references read well and there can be no reason to take issue with that august tribunal upon that view of the subject. It continues: Such matters, however, Justice Suthland stated, could not enter into the decision of the case. "We have no function in the matter," he said other than to ascertain the will of Congress and declare it. The two questions decided by the court were whether the general naturalization act of June 29, 1906, was limited by the provisions of section 2169 of the Revised Statutes, authorizing the naturalization of "free white persons" and those of African birth and descent and whether, if so limited, Japanese were eligible to naturalization. In an exhaustive analysis of the history of the legislation the court held that section 2169 was in full force, and that under it Japanese could not obtain citizenship in this country. The court stated that in all of the naturalization acts from 1790 to 1906 the privilege of naturalization was confined to white persons (with the addi able parliamentarians and a veritable host of them will be candidates for this life-time job. Rev. W. H. Moses, one of the most eloquent and popular pulpit orators comes with the endorsation of N. Y. and the very able Rev. M. W. D. Norman, D. D., LL. D., of the District of Columbia comes with the endorsation of the Baptist Ministers Conference of Washington. Rev. Dr. L. K. Williams of Chicago will also be one of the leading candidates, and it may be that the popular Rev. Dr. W. F. Graham of Philadelphia, who has followed the fortunes of that great body for more than a quarter of a century may be seriously considered. We have not heard a name mentioned that would be unsuited to be presented at this session. The outlook is that the meeting will be a harmonious one and that the electioneering methods will be on the highest order and of the most friendly nature. We would like much to attend this session. Certain it is that a large meeting place will be necessary to house the crowd that will be present upon this occasion. Death is making inroads upon our leaders and the outlook is that young men are coming rapidly to the front to take leading places. Rev. Dr. E. C. Morris was apparently in his prime and he had hopes of many years of successful labor before him, but God willed otherwise. Let the convention go slow and select the divine best suited for the work and all will go well with this great Baptist organization. THE COLOR BAR OF CHRISTIANITY (Continued from First Page) Africans feel that they cannot occupy a place of inferiority in church as well THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA tion in 1870 of those of African nativity and descent,) although the exact wording of the various statutes was not always the same.* This decision gives persons of African descent rights and privileges that Japanese cannot enjoy. And again: If Congress in 1906, it added, "desired to alter a rule so well and so long established it may be assumed that its purpose would have been definitely dis closed, and its legislation to that end put in unmistakable terms." Declaring that it is the duty of the court to "give effect to intent of Congress," the opinion proceeded to determine the intent "by giving the words their natural significance." Emphasizing the long-established policy of Congress to restrict naturalization under section 2169 the court found it "inecivable that a rule in force from the beginning of the government, a part of our history as well as our law, welded into the structure of our national policy by a century of legislative and administrative acts and judicial decisions would have been deprived of its force in such a dubious and casual fashion." The report says further: Having sustained section 2165, the court then proceeded to discuss whether Japanese are "free white persons" within the meaning of the statute, 18 was the intention of Congress, the court held, "to confer the privilege of citizenship upon that class of persons whom the fathers knew as white and to deny it to all who could not be classified." "It is not enough," it added, "to say that the framers (of the law) did not have in mind the brown and yellow races in Asia. It is necessary to go farther and be able to say that these particular races been suggested, the language of the act would have been so varied as to include them with in its privileges. . . . . . . If it be assumed that the opinion of the framers was that the only persons who would fall outside the designation 'white' were blacks and Negroes, this would go farther than to demonstrate their lack of sufficient information to enable them to foresee precisely what he excluded by that term in subsequent administration of the statute." Having ascertained whom Congress intended to include, "it follows," the court added, "as a necessary corollary, that all others are to be excluded." This presents a most interesting and embarrassing question. Can the Japanese Government consistently demand that their people be permitted to swear allegiance to a Government other than their own? They may demand that citizens of the Japanese Government be accorded all of their rights and privileges, but how can this same Government demand that Japanese who desire to desert their own Government and fight under another flag, perhaps at some time being required to take up arms against their own people and mother-land be accorded the right to become naturalized citizens of a foreign government? This is a most interesting phase of the question and that the Japanese embassy at Washington will not pursue the subject further is to be naturally expected, even though the sensibilities of its people are affected by this most peculiar ruling of the Supreme Court of the United States. as in state. They feel, also, that European Christianity is in many respects foreign to their national aspirations, traditions and customs." In the meantime, from the North virile Mohammedanism is steadily sweeping southward. Before its practical application of the ideal principle of the Fatherhood of God and the consequent brotherhood of man, European Christianity fades wherever contact between the advanced lines of the two religions is established. The logical mind of the African cannot see anything worthy in a religion which totes race prejudice and the colour bar and even in the case of native converts to Christianity the present trend is to repudiate the religion of the dominant races of Europe for a religion based upon the practical application of the brotherhood of man. PETITION HARDING. Boston, Mass., Nov. 11.—As a result of the personal audience with President Harding and what he said as to the nature of his call for the extra sosion which he issued today, the National Equal Rights League, urges the race everywhere to write the President to recommend to Congress immediate consideration of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill by the Senate in his spoken or written message to the extra session This the League did today, Armistice Day. The League delegation pressed this request before the audience at the White House was over, and give the benefit of their conference to the race by urging this new movement. The League recommends also that the race petition their U. S. Senators to make the Dyer Bill first business of the Senate, ahead of the Liberian Loan Bill, and to be continuously considered till passed. This the League is doing. At the audience on Saturday in the White House the President expressed support of the Dyer Bill and said he would aid its passage by the Senate. When Patronizing an advertiser always tell him you saw his ad in this paper. (Continued from First Page) daily papers of New York City and pronounced a golf match between Governor Nathan L. Miller and Gov-elect Alfred E. Smith to be held this week. This public act on the part of two gullernatorial candidates is not without political significance; and will go equally as far as President Harding's advice to colored men "that they should divide their vote." Progressive Republicans, Independents and Militants who have waged constructive campaign of education each year since 1913 must be consulted to the end that a program of mutual understanding, mutual interest and mutual gain be initiated for the rejuvenating and salvation of the Republican Party in Harlem, Jobs, captaincles and recognition must be given not one-sided, but to the various dissatisfied elements in the Party before harmony prevails. DISTRICT LEADERS The defeat of Senator William M. Calder—the reversal of 20,000 votes cast for Congressman Martin C. Ansorge in 1920; the failure of a single Republican to be elected in the local districts of Harlem where the colored Republican vote plays a large part is, but the failure of the Republican Organization which has not as yet learned to recompense the colored voters of Harlem according to numerical strength and political importance. Funds among colored voters are sparsely spent; patronage given them is insufficient; some colored newspaper editors are brow-beaten and so hedged about until they dare speak their convictions but are constrained and forced to paint and color situations as being rosette, when infact, all Rome is on fire. A CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT In the 21st Congressional District there is a population of 500,000 or more; while in other congressional districts in the United States as per the United States Congressional decree including New York there is 209,000 population to each congressional district except the said 21st Congressional al District of New York which takes in colored Harlem. A Congressional district is decreed and based upon population including citizens and aliens alike; therefore colored Harlem has a population sufficiently large to warrant a congressional al district—but Republican legislatures have refused and denied colored people a congressional district just in the same way it has denied and refused to pass the Dyer Anti-lynching bill. NEW JUDICIAL DISTRICT Another bone of contention has been the demand made by colored voters for a municipal court district so that civil litigation may have more speedy trials; and where worthy, competent, colored lawyers might have chance of election to the positions of judges. The "Seventh Municipal District Court" is much over crowded; and no section in the City or State is in such dire need of an additional municipal court district as conditions prove the need of another one in Harlem. The incoming legislature should include among its early bills the apportionment of a new municipal court district. BOTH PARTIES HAVE ELECTED Now that colored men have found places and have been elected by both parties to seats in the legislature of the State, the non-partisan efforts of such organizations as the United Civic League and Equity Congress, as well as the support of the independents, militants and progressive Republicans, surely no one will ever rise again to say the "time hasn't come" for colored men to be elected to office.

The writer thinks it is befitting to state here that we should consider as a church, to make a suitable donation to our choir, during the Christmas tree exercises of the Sunday School. We feel that the people who are really doing a great service as singing in the choir should be membered at least once a year, other than saying: "We now have a great choir." Think this over. RISING MT. ZION NOTES. A large number accompanied the pastor to the Mt. Olivet Baptist church where he delivered a stirring discourse which held the congregation spebound to the end. The choir attendance was good and the spendid music rendered deserved many comments. At 8 P. M. the Young Men's Bible Class reiterated an excellent sacred concert. A goodly number was in attendance and all present enjoyed each per formance.

Skilled musicians can detect instantly the flagrant misappropriation, the amateurish perversion. There are others, the unskilled musicians and particularly our young people who cannot detect the misuse of these prayer-songs who cannot distinguish the false from the true, the make-shift from the real the spurious from the genuine, the theatrical from the spiritual and who are thus being fed with a wrong idea, a false valuation of all our beautiful melodic inheritance—unless this pernicious musical trickery is stopped. How can it be stopped? These gentlemen seem not to realize that they offend the deepest sentiments of the race. They seem incapable of comprehending the enormity of the offense and the far-reaching effect upon future generations. True, these melodies are public property and there is no real means of protecting them except through race pride. Have these men sufficient race pride to forego the cheap success and the easy money? Have they sufficient racial pride to refuse to prostitute the inherent religious beauty of our Spirituals? Can we not convince them that it is all in bad taste; that it is like poluting a great, free fountain of pure melody? In the interests of millions of colored people who love and revere the Spirituals and who believe these old melodies can be an essential factor in the cultural evolution of the race as well as a powerful stimulus to its higher artistic development,—and, in the interest of millions of white people who love and revere the Spirituals and who believe that the "Negro stands at the gates of human culture with hands haden full with musical gifts." I earnestly solicit your help and cooperation in a determined effort to persuade our misguided friends "o cease their desecrating work and to join with us in honoring, and protecting from any secular or degenerate use the Negro Spirituals—the only songs in America that conform to the scientific definition of folksongs. I have the honor to remain. Very truly yours. (Signed.) H. T. BURLEIGH. BETTER RACE FEELING. A movement which is working for good and not receiving the appreciation it deserves is that of promoting better feeling and clearer understanding between the white and colored people of the South. The work is being done by what is known as the Southern Commission on Interracial Cooperation with headquarters in Atlanta. Two-tbirds of the counties of the thirteen Southern States have local organizations of representatives of the white and colored people, respectively. Kentucky has recently supplied two illustrations of the benefits which accrue. At Madisonville when a mob formed to seek out a drug-razed Negro who had murdered the Sheriff, the commission met and it was soon clear to every body that the guilt was that of an individual and not that of a class. The Negroes joined in the search for the assassin. They deplored the act. Sheriff Hanson had been friendly to the Negroes and the friendship had been reciprocal. The guilty man was legally tried and legally executed. The mob had considered burning the Negro section and precipitating a race war. The surrender course was followed because the inter-racial commission could appeal to public sentiment in a sensible way. At Corbin a Negro was wrongly accused of cutting a white man. The cutting was not even by a member of the race of the accused. The ringleaders of the mob which formed and herded all of the Negroes of the town was sent to the penitentiary through the efforts of the inter-racial commission. Mob law is anarchy. It brutalizes the community. It lowers the standards of whites and blacks. It discourages the ambitions of Negroes to be good citizens. It is anarchy and has no place in civilization. Everybody knows these things but it takes organization to make the knowledge effective.—Louisville Times. --- THE DOINGS OF THE Y. M. C. A.

NEGRO STATE TEACHERS WILL MEET HERE NOVEMBER 29-30 AND DECEMBER 1, 1922 We are by this method calling the attention of every teacher of Negro Youths in Virginia to the fact that our State Teachers' Association who convene on the above date, at 8:00 P. M. and have a three days session, closing Friday night with an executive session Saturday morning, December 2, 1922. There are a number of important subjects for every progressive teacher, thus none can afford to be absent. Such subjects as "Better Equipment, Teachers, where can we find them?" "Longer terms and every boy and girl in school between the ages of 7-16." "Is the Present Pension Schedule Satisfactory to teachers?" "The necessity for College prepared teachers by the State in our schools." "The necessity for closer Supervision in Rural Schools." "Are Tests and Measurements for Mental Efficiency making better schools?" Aside from the discussion of the above named subjects by prominent educators of our state, we are expecting to appear on our program. Con- THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA 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- 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. missioner of Education, Hon.

That the "rum barrage" is to be continued on a larger scale than ever before is evidenced by the fact that 30,000 cases of whisky were cleared on Nassau last week, ostensibly for St. Pierre, Miquelon or Tampico, Mexico, but actually for consumption by thirsty Americans.

KEMALISTS TO FORCE DEMAND FOR CAPITAL Constantinople, Nov. 13.—From Angora comes the report that Rafet Pasha the Nationalist Governor has been instructed to press the demand for complete control of Constantinople without allied interference. The tension was slackened today over the successive demands of the Kemalists for greater control of Con- PATIENTLY WAITING. "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." stantinople, and it was said in allied circles that sober reflection by the Turks had caused them to decide to make no further provocative moves prior to the opening of the Lausanne conference. While the situation continues uncertain, the peril of a rupture has momentarily been averted. The departure today for London of Col. Gibbron, British Chief of Staff, and the decision of Sir Horace Rumbold the British High Commissioner to depart Wednesday for Lausanne is interpreted as indicating an improvement in the situation. Nevertheless a persistent impression prevails in some quarters that the Allies may find it expedient to evacuate the capital before peace is formally pronounced. The allied authorities are considering the question of waiving passport visas for Greeks, Armenians and others who desire to leave the city, which movement of population would lessen allied responsibility when the actual transfer of Constantinople to the Kemalists takes place. The British Embassy is giving asylum to several hundred Turks of the old regime, including many former Ministers whose lives are in peril. The economic situation grows worse. Prices of foodstuffs are steadily soaring and business houses continue to suspend. Supplies are running short and there is only a twenty days' stock of the principal food-stuffs. The Greek and American employees of American firms are leaving their posts and thousands of depositors are withdrawing their funds from the banks, fearing seizure by the Kemalists. Lausanne, Switzerland, Nov. 13. Turkey demands merely that it be dealt with as a Government, founded as other responsible governments are, and that it be allowed to enjoy the same rights in its international relations, said Gen. Ismet Pusha, head of the Turkish Nationalist delegation, when asked today what Turkey's demands will be in the conference. Is met denied the reported wholesale atrocities against the Greeks and said there had been an organized effort to stifly the Turkish Nationalists in the eyes of the Western world. The Nationalist delegation appear confident of being granted their demand that Turkey shall be relieved of the capitulations, which are extra territorial rights granted to foreigners in Turkey. They are also firm in believing that full sovereign rights will accrue to their Government through the conference. Egypt is striving to have a voice in the Near East conference, and apparently has much to say on religious questions which does not harmonize with the Angora plans to shear the Sultan of temporal power and permit him to remain in Constantinople merely as ticular head of the Moslem world. Ismet dodge the question today, but discussions indicated that the admiration of the Egyptians to the conference deliberations might turn it into a debating organization. It has been decided that the negotiations will be held in the historic Hotel du Chateau at Ouchy, on Lake Lemana, a mile from Lausanne. As there is all ready one treaty of Ouchy it seems likely that the name Lausanne will be attached to any agreement reached. BIG WHISKY ARMADA RUSHES DRY CRAFT. Handiepped by lack of funds with which to employ men and motor launches, the prohibition enforcement department is fighting a futile battle in its efforts to prevent the landing of thousands of cases of Bahama whisky from the fleet of liquor laden vessels anchored four miles off the Atlantic coast immune from Federal molestation so long as they do not come with in the three mile limit. With the strength of the "whisky armada" admittedly greater than that of the dry forces, it is practically impossible for the small number of Federal operatives engaged in the fight to cope with the situation. The movements of virtually every dry agent are being watched by spies of the alleged international bootleg ring, which is lavishing gold in an effort to corpure JOHN MITCHELL, JR. The "Tippo: totilla" has become a "double incroce" since the State Department ruling that contraband carrying craft cannot be molested outside the three mile limit according to one of the Federal operatives engaged in "the battle against Bahama." Many officers in Long Island counties he said already have been "lured by here" to "look the other way" while contraband is brought ashore. That the "rum barrage" is to be continued on a larger scale than ever before is evidenced by the fact that 30,000 cases of whisky were cleared out of Nassau last week, ostensibly for St. Pierre, Miquelon or Tampico, Mexico, but actually for consumption by thirsty Americans. Preparations have been made to clear more than 50,000 cases this week. The New York Herald learns from an official source. Whisky stocks valued at upward of $20,000,000 foreign prices, are at the disposal of the Nassau headquarters of the bootleg ring. The liquor is sold at wholesale quotations of from $25 to $35 per case in Nassau. The small boats of "independent" bootleggers pay the run running schooners from $50 to $65 per case for the wet goods and run the risk of bringing it to shore. The "N-w York Liquor curb" quotes the whisky at retail prices of from $90 to $100 per case in quantity lots. Recognizing that the State Department ruling has opened the way for the bootleg ring to flood Atlantic coast cities with contraband liquor, prohibition officials believe that Congress immediately should make a large appropriation for the emergency that thus arises. What recommendations will be made by E. C. Yellowly, acting prohibition enforcement director; he has not revealed. Efforts of dry agents, customs department operatives and members of coast guard station crews to patrol the coast line in a concerted campaign to thwart the landing of contraband are ineffectual because of the great odds against them. The motor launches that go between shore and the "whisky armada" greatly outnumber the force of the Federal men. FIVE ```markdown ``` --- men employed in trying to capture them.

LAW IS SILENT ON INTOXICATION. Because the Federal grand jury that returned indictments against the accused "had no right to imprison" he had been intoxicated, for intoxication is not an offense under the prohibition act, or any other law of the United States," in the opinion of the United States Circuit, Judge Martin A. Knapp, the action of the United States District Court at Charleston, W. Va., in the case of David Clayton convicted of perjury, was yesterday reversed and Clayton is to have a new trial. In the lower court Clayton was sentenced to imprisonment for a year and six months and required to pay the costs of the prosecution. He appealed and the points raised by the attorney for the defendant were upheld by Judge Knapp who wrote the opinion reversing the district court. Clayton was indicted as a result of answers which he made to several questions asked him when he was summed on before the grand jury at a session of court at Webster Springs on August 30, 1921. He was asked whether he had purchased any whisky or intoxicating liquor from any person in the Southern District of W. Va. between January 16th, 1920 and August 29th, 1921; whether he had had any intoxicating liquor in his possession during that period, and whether during the same period he had been intoxicated. He answered each of these questions in the negative except admitting that he had on one occasion found on the road a small bottle containing about half a pint of liquor. Two days later he was indicted for perjury and was convicted at Charleston the following November. (Times-Dispatch, November 15.)

In the interests of millions of colored people who love and revere the Spirituals and who believe these old melodies can be an essential factor in the cultural evolution of the race as well as a powerful stimulus to its higher artistic development—and, in the interest of millions of white people who love and revere the Spirituals and who believe that the "Negro stands at the gates of human culture with hands haden full with musical gifts," I earnestly solicit your help and cooperation in a determined effort to persuade our misguided friends "to cease their desecrating, work and to join with us in honoring, and protecting from any secular or degenerate use the Negro Spirituals—the only songs in America that conform to the scientific definition of folksongs, I have the honor to remain. Very truly yours (Signed.) H. T. BURLEIGH BETTER RACE FEELING. A movement which is working for good and not receiving the appreciation it deserves is that of promoting better feeling and clearer understanding between the white and colored people of the South. The work is being done by what is known as the Southern Commission on Interracial Cooperation with headquarters in Atlanta. Two-tbirds of the counties of the thirteen Southern States have local organizations of representative of the white and colored people, respectively. Kentucky has recently supplied two illustrations of the benefits which accrue. At Madisonville when a mob formed to seek out a drug-crazed Negro who had murdered the Sheriff, the commission met and it was soon clear to every body that the guilt was that of an individual and not that of a class. The Negroes joined in the search for the assassin. They deplored the act, Sheriff Hanson had been friendly to the Negroes and the friendship had been reciprocal. The guilty man was legally tried and legally executed. The mob had considered burning the Negro section and precipitating a race war. The serer course was followed because the inter-racial commission could appeal to public sentiment in a sensible way. At Corbin a Negro was wrongly accused of cutting a white man. The cutting was not even by a member of the race of the accused. The ringleaders of the mob which formed and herded all of the Negroes of the town was sent to the penitentiary through the efforts of the inter-racial commission. Mob law is anarchy. It brutalizes the community. It lowers the standards of whites and blacks. It discourages the ambitions of Negroes to be good citizens. It is anarchy and has no place in civilization. Everybody know, these things but it takes organization to make the knowledge effective. Louisville Times. --- THE DOINGS OF THE Y. M. C.

NEGRO STATE TEACHERS WILL MEET HERE NOVEMBER 29-30 AND DECEMBER 4, 1922 We are by this method calling the attention of every teacher of Negro Youths in Virginia to the fact that our State Teachers' Association will convene on the above date, at 8:00 P.M. and have a three days session, closing Friday night with an executive session Saturday morning, December 2, 1922. There are a number of important subjects for every progressive teacher, thus none can afford to be absent. Such subjects as "Better Equiped Teachers, where can we find them?" "Longer terms and every boy and girl in school between the ages of 7-16." "Is the Present Pension Schedule Satisfactory to teachers?" "The necessity for College prepared teachers by the State in our schools?" "The necessity for closer Supervision in Rural Schools?" "Are Tests and Measurements for Mental Efficiency making better schools?" Aside from the discussion of the above named subjects by prominent educators of our state, we are expecting to appear on our program. Com- THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA 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- 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. missioner of Education, Hon.

Washington High School KEMALISTS TO FORCE DEMAND FOR CAPITAL. Constantinople, Nov. 13.—From Angora comes the report that Rafael Pasha the Nationalist Governor has been instructed to press the demand for complete control of Constantinople without allied interference. The tension was slackened today over the successive demands of the Kemalists for greater control of Con- PATIENTLY WAITING. '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.' stantinople, and it was said in allied circles that sober reflection by the Turks had caused them to decide to make no further provocative moves prior to the opening of the Lausanne conference. While the situation continues uncertain, the neril of a rupture has momentarily been averted. The departure today for London of Col. Gribben, British Chief of Stats, and the decision of Sir Horace Rumpold the British High Commissioner to depart Wednesday for Lausanne is interpreted as indicating an improvement in the situation. Nevertheless, a persistent impression prevails in some quarters that the Allies may find it expedient to evacuate the capital before peace is formally pronounced. The allied authorities are considering the question of waiving passport visas for Greeks. Armenians and others who desire to leave the city, which movement of population would lesser allied responsibility when the actual transfer of Constantinople to the Kemalists takes place. The British Embassy is giving asylum to several hundred Turks of the old regime, including many former Ministers whose lives are in peril. The economic situation grows worse. Prices of foodstuffs are steadily soaring and business houses continue to suspend. Supplies are running short and there is only a twenty days' stock of the principal food-stuffs. The Greek and American employees of American firms are leaving their posts but thousands of depositors are withdrawing their funds from the banks, fearing seizure by the Kemalists. Lausanne, Switzerland, Nov. 13.—Turkey demands merely that it be dealt with as a Government, founded as other responsible governments are, and that if he allowed to enjoy the same rights in its international relations, said Gen. Ismet Pasha head of the Turkish Nationalist delegation, when asked today what Turkey's demands will be in the conference. Is not denied the reported wholesale atrocities against the Greeks and said there had been an organized effort to stifly the Turkish Nationalists in the eyes of the Western world. The Nationalist delegation appear confident of being granted their demand that Turkey shall be relieved of the capitulations, which are extra territorial rights granted to foreigners in Turkey. They are also firm in believing that full sovereign rights will accrue to their Government through the conference. Egypt is striving to have a voice in the Near East conference, and apparently has much to say on religious questions which does not harmonize with the Angola plans to shear the Sudan of temporal power and permit him to remain in Constantinople merely as tittular head of the Moslem world. Ismet dodge the question today, but discussions indicated that the admiration of the Egyptians to the conference deliberations might turn it into a debating organization. It has been decided that the negotiations will be held in the historic Hotel du Chateau at Ouchy, on Lake Leman a mile from Lausanne. As there is a ready one treaty of Ouchy it seems likely that the name Lausanne will be attached to any agreement reached. BIG WHISKY ARMADA RUSHES DRY CRAFT. Handicapped by lack of funds with which to employ men and motor bunches, the prohibition enforcement department is fighting a futile battle in its efforts to prevent the landing of thousands of cases of Bahama whisky from the fleet of liquor laden vessels anchored four miles off the Atlantic const immune from Federal molestation so long as they do not come with in the three mile limit. With the strength of the "whisky armada" admittedly greater than that of the dry forces, it is practically impossible for the small number of Federal operatives engaged in the fight to cope with the situation. The movements of virtually every dry agent are being watched by spies of the alleged international bootleg ring, which is lavishing gold in an effort to corp JOHN MITCHELL. JR. The "tipo": *botilla* has become a "double narcissus" since the State Department ruling that contraband carry ing craft cannot be molested outside its three mile limit according to one of the Federal operatives engaged in "the battle against Bahama." Many officers in Long Island counties he said already have been "lured by inere" to "book the other way" while contraband is brought ashore. That the "rum barrage" is to be continued on a larger scale than ever before is evidenced by the fact that 30,000 cases of whisky were cleared out of Nassau last week, ostensibly for St. Pierre, Miquelon or Tampico, Mexico, but actually for consumption by this American. Preparations have been made to clear more than 50,000 cases this week. The New York Herald learns from an official source. Whisky stocks valued at upward of $20,000,000 foreign prices, are at the disposal of the Nassau headquarters of the bootleg ring. The liquor is sold at wholesale quotations of from $25 to $35 per case in Nassau. The small boats of "independent" bootleggers pay the run running schooners from $50 to $65 per case for the wet goods and run the risk of bringing it to shore. The "N-w York liquor curb" quotes the whisky at retail prices of from $90 to $100 per case in quantity lots. Recognizing that the State Department ruling has opened the way for the bootleg ring to flood Atlantic coasts with contraband liquor, prohibition officials believe that Congress immediately should make a large appropriation for the emergency that thus arises. What recommendations will be made by E. C. Yellowly, acting prohibition enforcement director, he has not revealed. Efforts of dry agents, customs department operatives and members of coast guard station crews to patrol the coast line in a concerted campaign to thwart the landing of contraband are ineffectual because of the great odds against them. The motor launches that go between shore and the "whisky armada" greatly ontnumber the force of the Federal men men employed in trying to capture them. Aforce of dry agents ten times as large as the present one would be put very much to task in obterating the ram fleet. (New York Herald, Nov. 7, 1922.) --- C. S. LAW IS SILENT ON INTONICATION. Because the Federal ground duty that returned indictments against the accused "had no right to move." er he been intoxicated, for intoxication is not an offense under the prohibition act, or any other law of the United States" in the opinion of the United States Circuit Judge Martin A. Knapp, the action of the United States District Court at Charleston, W. Va., in the case of David Clayton convicted of perjury, was yesterday reversed and Clayton is to have a new trial. In the lower court Clayton was sentenced to imprisonment for a year and six months and required to pay the costs of the prosecution. He appealed and the points raised by the attorney for the defendant were uphold by Judge Knapp who wrote the opinion reversing the district court. Clayton was indicted as a result of answers which he made to several questions asked him when he was summoned before the grand jury at a session of court at Webster Springs on August 30, 1921. He was asked whether he had purchased any whisky or intoxicating liquor from any person in the Southern District of W. Va. between January 16th, 1920 and August 20th, 1921; whether he had been any intoxicating liquor in his possession during that period, and whether during the same period he had been intoxicated. He answered each of these questions in the negative except admitting that he had on one occasion found on the road a small bottle containing about half a pint of liquor. Two days later he was indicted for perjury and was convicted at Charleston the following November. (Times-Dispatch, November 15.) .

THE PLANET, 311 N. Fourth Street Long Distance Telephone, Randolph 2213. Richmond, Va. --- STATE BOARD OF HEALTH ACCOMPLISHES MUCH IN EFFORT TO ERADICATE DISEASE SCIENTIFIC AND SYSTEMATIC METHODS WIN IN FIGHT WITH CONTAGIOUS DISEASES. SIX Norfolk, Va., Nov. 1.-Speaking before the Virginia Medical Society this afternoon, Dr. B. B. Baghy, of West Point, made an extraordinary statement concerning the efficiency of the State Board of Health. Comparing 1909, the year he began practicing in West Point with 1922 Dr. Baghy said that in the former summer he had attended ninety-six cases of malaria and twenty-two cases of intestinal diseases, seven of the latter being typhoid. During the same season of 1922, he did not have a single case of malaria and only one of intestinal trouble—a minor ailment that lasted only five days. There was not a case of typhoid. He compared the sanitary conditions of West Point in 1909 with the conditions of today. Then there was a sanitary privy in West Point; and the scavenger service was being done by chief, dirrman of the town—a situation which did not promise well for the milk supply. Today West Point has a model water and sewerage system with an ordinance compelling every house to connect with it. Dr. Bagby did not think that the rural need was for more doctors as much as for more health officers. He said that their sanitary improvement would not have been possible except for the support and assistance of the State Board of Health, to which body he also gives a large share of the cedit it for eradicating malaria through the drainage of the swamps around West Point. One startling paragraph of the doctor's speech dealt with hookworm. He said: "When I began to practice medicine in 1904, some section in King and Queen County showed a hookworm infection of nearly one hundred per cent among the school children, and many adults were sallow, anemic, sick and thin. Thanks to the State Board of Health these same people are now healthy, prosperous and happy. I know of several families of prosperous farmers, now enjoying touring cars of their own, who a few years ago on account of hookworm, were more or less dependent on charity." The doctor added that he had not found a single case of hookworm in five years. The West Point physician recognized and deplored the conservatism of the normal country district. He said: "The people in my section that are crying lonest for more rural physicians are the ones that are most bitter Read The Richmond Planet --- ly opposed to employing a county health officer." But he added: If we had a competent health unit in each county, instead of needing more rural physicians we could do away with many that we now have; and our peo ple would be far healthier and much better off financially." Dr. Bagby predicted the time when every Virginia county will have a complete public health unit. "And then, he said "typhoid fever, cholera infantum, smallpox and hookworm will in time be completely wiped out of Virginia; and syphilis, tuberculosis,", dipheria, rheumatism and arterio-sclerosis will be on the rapid decline." He closed with a plea to the medical society to aid the State Board of Health in securing that result. TUBERCULOSIS CONTROL IN TWO COUNTIES. Richmond. Va., Oct. 31.—Two Virginia counties have blazed the way for a State-wide departure in tuberculosis control. One of the chief problems confronting those who are seeking to eradicate tuberculosis has been the care of indigent cases. The State sanatoria are run on a semi-charitable basis; they are not supposed to pay expenses; in fact, the patients pay just about one-half the costs of their care and treatment; but there are unfortunately a large number of tubercular people who cannot even afford the small sum charged at the sanatoria. Giles and Northampton counties have adopted an intelligent policy of dealing with such situations. Each has made an appropriation to be used exclusively for the care of their indigent sufferers who are sent to the State's sanatoria. By this plan, the State pays one-half the costs and the county pays the other half. These appropriations followed field clinics held in the counties; and as is usual where such clinics are held a number of in urgent cases was discussed. In many of the States there are local hospitals for the care of such patients. In Virginia the State institutions partially solve the problem; and if the other counties follow the lead of Giles and Northampton the poor of the State can be sure of treatment up to the limit of the capacity of the samatoria. Miss Anna T. Hope, field nurse of the Bureau of Tuberculosis Education State Board of Health, in each case appeared before the board of supervils or advocating the appropriation. She will go next week to Northampton to follow up the clinic work. Mrs. Agnes Gay will assist in the work for Glies. "FEAST IN FOREST" A SUCCESS. ARRESTED FOR VAGRANGY, AUTHOR SHOWS BOOK AND GOES FREE. (Preston News Service) plants, host old folks' I thousands and girls, our street Common said: "Th the curso (Preston News Service) Pittsburgh, Pa., Nov. 10.—The playlet entitled "Feast in The Forest," given last Tuesday night in Montforte Hall, under the auspices of the American Woodmen proved to be one of the most entertaining historical deplusions of racial progress given here in many years. The play was written by William Blue, formerly bandmaster of the 350th A. E. F., and now national director of music for the American Woodmen. Mr. Blue has cleverly compiled facts of his historical development of the race in this country since the close of the Civil War, showing the obstacles and hindrances which have confronted the race and how most of them are being over come. The play shows what a large part the American Woodmen fratern al order has played in this wonderful development of the race. He was assisted in the work here by Mrs. M. I. Smith, district worthy guardian, who has charge of the Juvenile department of the American Woodmen in all states east of the Mississippi river; District Auditor, E. E. Carrington; Mrs. E. B. Mayo, Mrs. Margaret Witherspoon, John F. Willis, J. W. Pitner, Ernest Eastman, Earl Sams, Oliver Steath and others. The show had a cast of 60 characters and 40 musicians. The music for the occasion was furnished by the Pittsburgh American Woodmen band. AGED WEALTHY WOMAN DEAD. Pittsburgh, Pa., Nov. 10—Mrs. Harriett Googins, aged 82 years, widow of the late Lemuel Googins, died at the home of her youngest son, Lemuel Googins, Jr., in Webster avenue, on Thursday afternoon at 3:45 o'clock following a lingering illness of three years. Mrs. Googins was the daughter of Rev. Louis and Caroline Woodson. She was born in Pittsburgh and has resided here all her life, being a lifetime member of Bethel A. M. E. church from which funeral services were held on Monday afternoon, with the pastor, Rev. J. C. Anderson officiating. She is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Virginia Proctor and Mrs. Emma Lovett; two sons, Granville and Lennich Googins and several relatives. In a will probated several years ago by her husband, who preceded her in death, she was left the sole beneficiary of property valued at over a half million dollars. The late Lemuel Googins was regarded as the wealthiest Negro in Pennsylvania. The two sons are the sole heirs to this vast fortune which has been kept in tact since the demise of her husband. ARRESTED FOR VAGRANCY AUTHOR SHOWS BOOK AND GOES FREE. Jacksonville, Fl., Nov. 9—Edwin Burch, charged with vagancy, handed the police judge a copy of his booklet which he was distributing among Negroes here and was discharged by the official with the following comment: "I think your work will accomplish more for the betterment of your people than me sending you to the prison farm. I am told that the police found you at the union depot passing out these books to colored people. You say you have just landed in town. After looking over your booklet I am confidant that you will be able to accomplish much good in this city by placing it in the hands of your people. You are at liberty to carry on this good work here." The commandments follow: 1. Men, women, boys, girls, husbands wives, sweethearts, and lovers; hate not work, it is the first step to progress, prosperity, honesty, respectability and wealth. 2. Keep within the confines of the law. Crime and the violation of laws pay off only in grief, worry, sorrow and misery. 3. Love, adoré and cherish the Negro woman; by this you respect your mother and gain the respect of your fellowman. 4. Remember, America has done more for you than any other country in the world, and will do more in proportion to the number of converts from ignorance to intelligence. Let well enough alone. 5. Remember, in America, Canada, Mexico, or across the sea, you are a Negro wherever you may be. The stain shall be forever upon thee. The history of the Negro has been written and cast to the four corners of the world. You cannot overcome history. 6. Remember, when mingling with evil associates, you are swinging up the jail house gates. Desperadoes, out laws, and bad characters, all must bow before the forces of law and order. 7. Do not attempt to do some things you see in the movie show. Moving pictures have caused the eyes of many to be opened and have caused the eyes of many to be closed. 8. Respect the man who owns this country. He is your best friend after all. He gave you a homo in the best country in the world. Otherwise you would be, perhaps, this day, in dark Africa, the least civilized, less developed and recognized of all countries. 9. Listen not to slick-tongued self-styled Negro leaders, who give you a mouthful of sweet dreamy talk and take a handful of your hard earned money. 10. Remember the money the Negro spends in fine churches, automobiles, conventions and foolishness would build hundreds of mills, factories. plants, hospitals, office buildings and old folks' houses, thus giving work to thousands of Negro men, women, boys and girls, who pose and repos upon our street corners. Commenting further Judge Beckham said: "This man has evidently seen the curse that is being rocked upon his followmen by the insiduous Garvey movement, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the Niagara movement and such other tomy-rot that quick witted lazy Negroes are foisting upon the hardworking members of their race. Material progress of the colored race in this country will be the salvation of the Negro. This man's philosophy is sound. I hope Negroes will do as he points out. The white man of America is the best friend the Negro has. The Negro must now consider life seriously and develop himself and help better his material condition if he would hope to enjoy the full status of American citizenship. White men have to work for their salvation and why not the Negro. I sympathize with the Negro and believe I fully understand the many difficulties confronting him. There are too many lazy, good-for-noting members of that race in this country today. This group must get to work and contribute something to the general welfare. It is the only hope of the Negro race." "NO ROOSEVELT TREE FOR REBELS." (Preston News Service) Montgomery, Ala., Nov. 9.—One of the reasons why a tree in honor of the memory of Col. Theodore Roosevelt should not be planted on the "sacred" ground of Alabama's capitol, as given by the United Daughters of Confederacy is because Roosevelt while President of the U. S., had the timerity to appoint a Negro woman, Mrs. Lilian Cox, as postmistress at Indianaola, Miss. It is said also that when President Roosevelt had chiselled from a bridge near Washington the name of Jefferson Davis. It is claimed that at the time Roosevelt virtually held that Jefferson Davis was a traitor. To dedicate a tree to Roosevelt on the capital grounds where Davis took the cath (or office as Confederate president. It is contended would be invading sacred ground. Governor Kibly told a delegation of women from the U. D. C. last Monday that he could not join in a request to the Boy Scouts to remove the tree planted on Friday as a memorial to Theodore Roosevelt. After the delegation left Governor Kibly told newspapermen: "I was not able to comply with the request. How ever, I did tell the delegation that if the Boy Scouts made a voluntary request for permission to take the tree from the capitol grounds it would be granted."

(Preston News Service) Pittsburgh, Pa., Nov. 10.—Speaking before an audience that taxed the seating capacity of Ebenezer Baptist church of which the Rev. Junius C. Austin, is pastor, Dr. James Wedon Johnson, executive secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., made a profound plea for racial co-operation on the part of members of the race to do all possible to urge the passage of the Dyor Anti-Lynching Bill now pending in the United States Senate. The seating capacity of the church is 2,000 and fully twice that number could not gain admission and had to be turned away. The meeting was held under the auspices of the Anti-Lynching Crusaders of which Mrs. Daisy E. Lampkins is direct toreral for the state of Pennsylvania. The music for the occasion was furnished by The Arlon Male Quartet, Robert A. Lewis director; and Col. William Lam, national music director of the American Woodmen, Rev. J. C. Austin, president of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. acted as master of ceremonies; Mrs. Mary Turner-Bucwell chairman program and music. More than a score of the various women's clubs and organizations of the city co-operated in selling buttons and securing memberships to the Anti-Lynching Crusaders organization. The speaker pointed out in detail the long and difficult struggle that had been put forth to pass the Dyer Bill in the House of Representatives and how it was kicked and cuffed in the Senate and finally left over unpassed by the last session. He told his hearers that if members of the United States Senate were sufficiently convinced that the Negroes throughout, the country were in earnest for the passage of this bill to stop the curse of lynching in this country favorable action could be expected. The lack of co-operative interested shown thus far by Negroes throughout the country failed to compel the members of the Senate to feel that they must act favorably on the Dyer Bill. This strenuous effort by Negroes throughout the country on the eve of this important national election is bound to bear fruit. He urged every Negro voter to write bill Senator asking for the passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill.
