THE RICHMOND PLANET SENATOR PAT HARRISON CHARGES FIVE MEN WILL RECEIVE $650,000 FEE FOR THE FIVE MILLION DOLLAR LIBERIAN LOAN DEAL Names Emmett J. Scott, James A. Cobb, W. L. Houston William H. Lewis and Rev. Ernest Lyons. BILL FINALLY DEFEATED IN SENATE SHOWDOWN VOLUME XL, NUMBER 4 SENATOR PAT HARRIS MEN WILL RECEIVE $5 FIVE MILLION DOLL Names Emmett J. Scott, Jan William H. Lewis an BILL FINALLY DEFEATE (Preston News Service) Washington, D. C., Nov. 28.—A charge that five prominent Negroes had a contract to obtain $650,000 if the Liberian Loan bill should pass was made in the Senate last Thursday afternoon by Senator Pat Harrison, a democrat from Mississippi, during consideration of the bill. NAMES THE MEN TO GET THE BAKE-OFF Senator Harrison named the mea- three of them live in Washington—Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary of Howard University; James A. Cobb and William L. Houston, attorneys. The other two named by Senator Harrison are: William H. Lewis, of Boston, a former assistant attorney general of the Uni- tated States and Rev. Ernest Lyon , of Baltimore, a former minister to Liberia . Senator Harrison then offered an amendment to the Liberian Loan bill prohibiting the payment of any fee or commission to any attorney or agent of Liberia out of the loan. The amend ment was unanimously adopted. The Mississippi Senator said that it was "generally understood" that the five men mentioned by him had a contract under which they would be paid if the bill passed. CHARGE IS VIGOROUSLY DENIED The charge was vigorously denied by Senator Curtis, of Kansas, in charge of the bill who said that the rumor reported by Senator Harrison, "like others, had originated in the senator's own fertile brain." Senator Harrison said that he understood that these men had been conspicuous in buttonholing senators in behalf of the bill. Senator Curtis accepted the Harrison amendment. Both Senator Smoot and Senator Curtis said they had not been approached by the men named. SCOTT, COBB AND HOUSTON, MAKE STATEMENTS When the report of Senator Harrison's charges reached the men in Washington named by the senator from Mississippi they issued the following statements: Dr. Scott secretary of Howard University, said: "There isn't a scintillate of truth in any such statement as made by Senator Harrison. The senator could have been informed, directly if he had made any effort to ascertain the truthfulness of such a statement. Senator Harrison has evidently been depending upon information furnished him by men more anxious to feed grudges than to furnish the truth." "The charges are laughable and absolutely false" declared James A. Cobb. Continuing he said: "With respect to the statements made by Samar Pat Harrison on the floor of the Senate, in which he is reported to have said that I, along with four other gentlemen, were to receive $650,000 as attorney's fees or commission out of the Liberian Loan of $5,000,000. I beg to say there is not an iota of truth in the statement. "I have never made any claim whatsoever against the Liberian loan. Any aid or assistance that I gave to Liberia with respect to the loan was purely of an altruistic nature. It is true that while the Liberian Commission was here I did act as legal adviser for them in respect to certain minor matters, namely, looking over and drawing up a lease for the premises occupied by the commission and arranging for the purchase of an automobile, etc., as well as to assist them in general in manners and customs with which they were unfamiliar in this country. There was a proper adjustment for all of these services before the commission returned to Liberia. "Undoubtedly the Senator received his misinformation from certain politicians who are unable to lift their belts above the dust and whose venality dictates the seeking of graft in every endeavor they may make on behalf of any person or cause, and this characteristic of theirs induces them to think that any one who may assist or aid a cause is actuated by a similar motive." William L. Houstoon, a prominent attorney and member of the Board of Education, characterized Senator Hur (Continued on Fifth Page.) W. F. DENNY ATTORNEY IN COL KERLIN'S SUIT AGAINST VIRGINIA MILITARY INSTITUTE The case of Dr. Robert T. Kerlin, dismissed member of the faculty of Virginia Military Institute, who is sitting the institute for $50,000 in dams, will in all probability be heard at the February term of the circuit court of Rockbridge county, Colonel Joseph Button, member of the board of visitors of the school, told The News Leader today. According to Colonel Button, the school authorities are not concerned as to the outcome of the case, and took up, on the filing of the suit as an estate move on the part of Prof. Kerlin to win further admiration in the eyes of the colored race and to cause a big sale of a book written by him, in which the Negro race is unqualifiedly Lefriended. Dr. Kerlin who holds a Ph. D. degree from Johns Hopkins University, end who is a native of the South, was formerly professor of English at V. M. I. His utterances in connection with the conviction of a number of Negroes in Arkansas is said to have caused his dismissal. DECLARATION OF PLAINTIFF The plaintiff sots forth in the de- claration that the defendants "while knowing the premises, but greatly en- vying the happy condition of the plain- tiff and constriving and wickedly and malleably intending to injure him in his good name, fame, credit and tortu- ne, and to bring him into public sca- dal and to destroy his usefulness as a teacher," dismissed him from the facu- ty. Dr. Kerlin declares his letter to the governor of Arkansas, was in accord- ance with his rights as a citizen, and the action of the school authorities pro- vented him from earning a livelihood and had harassed, oppressed and de- prived him of the means of supporting himself and family. "Because of the natural feeling in the South," the plaintiff further states, "it is impos- sible for him to secure a position in the South, his home, where he was born and reared and which is the se- ction he loves best of all." RECEIVED LARGE SALARY. While at V. M. I. Dr. Kerlin was paid an annual salary of $4,000 and his present salary as teacher in the State Normal School, West Chester, Pa. is $3,500. Because of newspaper reports growing out of the V. M. I. in- cident, he was forced to go without employment of any character for a number of months, he ayers. The suit is filed through William F. Denny, a colored lawyer of Richmond, and B. F. Harris, a colored attorney of Petersburg, Timberlake and Nelson, Staunton attorneys will represent the institute. (Richmond, Va., News-Leader.) LEAVES KLAN BECAUSE OF ITS "STRIKE IN THE DARK" POLICY (Preston News Service) Cambridge Mass. Nov. 29—Hubert C. Clay of Colorado Springs, Colo., is said to be carrying a pistol about the Harvard university campus because he received a letter signed "K. K. K." in which he was warned to leave the city. He is said to have told the police that while the note might seem a joke to easterners, such a message in Colorado would be regarded as a serious matter. When advised by the dean of the university to go unarmed, Clay is reported to have told the dean "Well I a lot rather shoot somebody than have my body tarred and feathered." Clay is a sophomore and said to be a descent dant of Henry Clay. He said he was a member of the Ku Klux Klan, but with drew because of its policy of "striking in the dark."

DIES BY "FOOLPROOF" GUN OF POLICEMAN Bartender Examining Safety Catch on Weapon Gets Bullet in Chest. Patrolman John Dynan of the West Forty-seventh street station who has been in the Police Department since 1913 and has an excellent record, went off duty early yesterday and without removing his uniform entered the saloon of Murray and Campbell at 718 Eleventh avenue. There he became engaged in conversation with James Berlio aged 26, bartender; Thomas Logan, uncle of Bertie, and George Boyle, a chauffeur, of 774 Ninth Avenue. The policeman boasted of the safety catch on his revolver. "Some guns may go off easily," said the patrolman, "but my gat won't fire while this safety catch is down. I can throw it down on the floor and it won't explode." Bertie asked to see the revolver and when the policeman handed it to him he bent over it to examine it more carefully. A report followed and the bartender fell with a bullet in his chest He died within a few minutes. Patrolman Dynan was suspended by Deputy Commissioner Leach and an investigation was ordered. James Morgan Assistant District Attorney said the shooting was accidental. Dynan was examined by Dr. Charles Nammack, police surgeon who said that although he had been drinking he was fit for duty. He is married and lives with his wife and 5 children at 428 West 142nd street. Bertle, the bartender was married and had two sons. (New York Herald Nov. 27, 1922.)

"Treat this group of racial and polite SENATE REJECTS THE LIBERIAN LOAN BILL SENATE REJECTS THE LIBERIAN LOAN BILL Washington. Nov. 27.—The first piece of legislation on the Administration program, namely, the Liberian $5,000,000 loan bill, was decisively beaten in the Senate this afternoon when by a vote of 42 to 33 the bill was committed to the Coromantee on Finance. Thirteen Republicans joined with the Democrats to shelve the menure and the number would have been greater had several absentees, among them Johnson and Moses, been present. President Harding and Secretary Hughes had urged the passage of the bill, and Senators Lodge and Curtis, the floor leaders of the majority, labored to the last minute in an effort to hold their colleagues in line. Even Senator Watson of Indiana, who has hitherto stood by the Administration in practically every Mr. Harding wanted, voted to send the bill back to committee. REPUBLICANS VOTED TO REMIT. The thirteen Republican who voted to recommit were Cameron, Capper, Formald, Harreld, Jones of Washington, Ladd, La Follette, McNary, Nicholson, Norris, Poindexter; Sutherland and Watson. The Democrats voted so idly against the bill. Senator Shortridge of California made the final plea for the measure. He pictured Liberia as a deserving struggling little African republic that was entitled to the consideration of the United States as a little nation of colored folk who had been willing, he said, if the chance had been theirs to fight for the Allies. The money he explained, would aid them to build roads, schools and churches. Senator Reed of Missouri, replying to Shortridge and closing the debate for the opposition, declared that the proposition to advance this money to Liberia could not be justified on any ground. He said that only one out of every 500 Liberians was civilized and that back in the hills, less than fifty miles from the coast, many of the inhabitants still practiced cannibalism. Once during an interchange with Senator Shortridge who is the tallest man in the Senate. Reed remarked if the Californian visited those he sought to aid financially they might thank him by "roasting" him. THE "LOBBY" CHARGE As did Senator Harrison on Friday last, Reed charged that if the loan was made a large part of it would go into the pockets of "lobbyists," who he said would be paid for their alleged activities in getting the bill passed. Following the collapse of the legislation the Administration leaders had no comment to make. It is generally understood that this ends the effort to advance $5,000,000 to Liberia. Immediately the Liberian Loan bill was out of the way. Senator Shortridge moved to make the Dyer Anti-Lynchming bill the unfinished business of the Senate. Senator Harrison of Mississippi, who will direct the opposition to this measure, was quickly on his feet, and when recognized yielded the floor to Senator Myers of Montana, who made a speech defending Clemenceau. In the course of the afternoon Harrison called for a quorum every time that Shortridge sought to get action on his motion The motion was still pending when at 5 o'clock the Senate adjourned till noon tomorrow. --- When Patronizing an Advertiser tell him you saw his advertisement if this paper. 50 COLORED MINERS DEAD IN ALBAMA DISASTER. (Preston News Service) Birmingham, Ala.—Of the 84 persons who lost their lives in the frightful disaster at Dolmite Mine No. 3 near here last Wednesday more than 50 were colored. The reported cause of the fatal disaster is said to have when a string of coal dump cars broke loose, ran away and dropped 800 feet down an incline and the impact created a cloud of coal dust. The crash of the runaway cars covered a high tension electric cable and the flash or sparks therefrom ignited the explosive coal dust. So terrific was the explosion that the shock was felt for several miles. It is claimed that this mine has been in operation since 1882 without a serious accident until last Wednesday. OPPOSE CULORED MAN FOR FEDERAL JOB IN SOUTH SENATORS SAY NOMINATION MAY LEAD TO RACE WAR. Washington, D. C., Nov. 22.—President Harding today raised the ire of the Southern Democrats in the Senate when he sent in the nominations of Walter L. Cohen to be ensign in the coast guard at New Orleans and of George V. Denny of Savannah to be Comptroller of Customs, District No. 20, with headquarters at New Orleans. Cohen is a Negro. Senator Ransdell (LA.) says the President promised bira he would not name any Negroes to Federal offices in his State because of the large Negro population and the keen prejudice which prevails. He announced he would fight the confirmation to the limit. The Senator added that if Cohen is confirmed he would be placed in charge of white men and women in the same office," a condition which might bring about a race war in the State." President Harding sent the name of Mr. Denny to the Senate last spring. Senator Watson of Georgia blocked the confirmation on the ground that Denny was "personally objectionable." Southern Senators take umbrage at the action of the President in renaming Denny after Senator Watson's death. In Memoriam JONES—In sad but loving memory of my dear mother, Amelia Hickman Jones, who departed this life two years ago today, December 2, 1920: Gone, but ever fondly remembered. We cannot forget you, dear mother, While in this life we stay. Our hearts have never been the same Since you passed away. In our hearts your memory Engers, Tender, kind and true. There is not a day, dear mother, That we do not think of you. THE FAMILY. YOUNG WIFE MURDERS HUSBAND IN JEALOUS QUARREL. (Preston News Service) Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 1,—James Smith, aged 42 years was shot and instantly killed last Friday afternoon by Janita Smith, aged 18, his young beautiful wife in their kitchen according to police reports. It is said that Smith came home from work. Friday afternoon and in a jealous fit accused his youthful wife of accepting the attentions of a young man. An argument ensued and later, it is said, Smith went into the kitchen to wash his face and hands and his young wife went upstairs and got Smith's revolver and returned to the kitchen and told her husband that she was going to put a stop to his falsely accusing her of other men. Smith attempted to take the gun from her and during the struggle she is alleged to have emptied the gun. Five shots going through his body Smith died instantly. Mrs. Smith was arrested a short time later several blocks from her home and lodged in jail charged with murder.

(Preston News Service) Washington, D. C. Nov. 30.—Many disabled colored men who before the war were merely wage earners are now enabled by the vocational training of the United States Veterans' Bureau to carry on their own business successfully to a much larger degree and income than before being disabled. This statement was made a few days ago by Dr. J. R. A. Crossland; technical assistant in charge of the bureau; in an address before a large audience of former service men and residents of this city in the Whitecaw Hotel. The occasion being a reception and banquet given in honor of Dr. Crossland. He was introduced by Hon. J. Finley Wilson Grand Exalted Ruler of the Blks., editor of the Washington Eagle and President of the National Negro Press Association. The committee in charge of the affair consisted of: C. H.

ARMISTICE DAY IS FITTINGLY CELEBRATED (Preston News Service) Wilherforce, O., Nov. 22.—Armistice Day was celebrated here in a fitting manner when honor was paid to the 146 Wilberforclans who saw service in the late World War. Four companies of the R. O. T. C. under the command of military experts, properly officiated and regaled in bright new uniforms, headed by the large band with its new $2,500 instruments. After guard-mount all passed in review, followed by a company of Red Cross nurses and the young ladies of the several dormitories under the leadership of their commanders. The band was under the leadership of Prof. M. S. Stewart, Major John E. Green and Sergentains Andrews and Button are to be congratulated for the fine showing these two units made. President Gregg, to whose untiring efforts the re-establishment of the R. O. T. C. is due, was highly gratified with the showing. During the parade an army airplane circled above and the aviator let go a large amount of Red Cross literature with two prize envelopes. The program for the occasion had been arranged by a special committee with Prof. E. C. Warrick as master of ceremonies. Addresses were delivered by Baxter S. Scruggs. Co-ordinator for the U. S. V. Burreu; Clarence Calamian instructor in Auto-Mechanics; Miss Halle Quinn Brown, president of the National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, and Carl Burns, a student who saw overseas service. The musical numbers were rendered by Miss Ruby Pollard, Ralph Carter, Mr. Myers and the Male Quartette. The day's exercises included a spirited foot ball game between the ex-varsity men and ex-soldiers. The game was intensely interesting and very well played. Gideon Smith, of H. Criticises Prevalent (By Gideon E. Smith.) Director of Athletics and Coach, Hampton Institute. Is it possible for two wrongs to make a right? Quitting a game because you believe some injustice has been done your team does not justify the act. In looking over the records of schools and colleges in the 1922 Football Guide. I find that the forfeited games of 1921 were among the high schools and colored colleges. In athletics we seem to keep in the high-school class. Nothing is ever gained by forfeiting. We do stand a chance of winning, if the game is played out, but we lose even the sympathy of the rooters who we walk off the field. A football fan is lue from forty-eight to sixty minutes of football and he is disappointed when he is forced to accept less by a team leaving the field. PRICE, FIVE CENTS BILL GAINS SENATE CHIP SUBSIDY MEASURE SESSION OF CONGRESS Association Makes Announcement with Republican Leaders. SURE TO MEET DEFEAT. N. A. A. C. P. Secretary Conters With Republican Leaders in Washington. After a critical situation in the United States Senate, during which a number of leaders were disposed to sidetrack the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill in favor of the Ship Subsidy Measure, it was finally decided by Republican leaders, at the urgent and earnest instance of James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to take up the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill first. Although President Harding failed to make any mention of the Dyer Anti Lynching Bill in his message to Congress the pressure exerted by the N. A. A. C. P. and other organizations was effective in the Senate. During the opening week of the Special Session of Congress full page and half of advertisements in the daily newspapers throughout the country were inserted by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. These advertisements, according to telegraph reports from Mr. Johnson in Washington, caused a sensation among the Senators and in political circles generally and made it impossible to ignore the Dyer Bill. The advertisements were paid for by the following. The Anti-Lynching Crusaders, the American Fund for Public Serviced, established by Mr. Charles Garland; branches of the N. A. A. C. P.; and a list of individual contributors including Moorfield Storey and Philip G. Peabody of Boston, Thomas W. Lamont, Paul Warburg and Felix Warburg of New York, Samuel Mather of Cleveland, Mary D. McNurleitz of Philadelphia, and William F. Cochran of Baltimore. On Thursday, November 23, just before it was decided to take up the Dyer Bill and when the fate of the measure was still in doubt, Mr. Johnson followed up a day of conferences with the publican leaders with a letter to each one of them in which he said in part "I am fine in the conclusion that if the Ship Subsidy Bill were given preference over the Anti-Lynching Bill, that it would mean the death of the Anti-Lynching Bill. That would mean that this just and humane legislation on which twelve million colored people are united would be lost so far as this Congress is concerned. I trust you will pardon my great anxiety regarding this matter, but knowing the pres ent state of mind of the colored people as I do, I am sure that there is nothing that would be so disastrous as the failure on the part of Congress to en act this legislation into law at this session." Mr. Herbert K. Stockton of New York, a member of the legal firm of Height Smith, Griffin and Deming also a member of the Legal Committee of the N. A. A. C. P., is in Washington and is rendering invaluable assistance to Mr. Johnson in the fight for the Bill. MALE HELP—Be a DETECTIVE. Excellent opportunity. Good pay. Travel. Write C. T.

Ampton Institute, Forfeiture of Games Every school should insist that its eleven play out the entire game, no matter what the decisions of officers are. It was much better for Columbia University this year in her game with New York City College, that she played the game out rather than walk off the field when an unjust decision was given. The decision of the referee cause of Columbia to lose by a narrow margin; nevertheless, Columbia swallowed the bitter pill and would not even accept soothing syrup afterwards. A few days after the game the referee admitted his error and conceded the game to Columbia. Columbia did not accept the change. That was true sportsmanship. The public is with Columbia in her stand. Many of our leasing school's at one time or another have forfeited games. (See Sport Column, Page 8) WILL ASK SENATE TO OUST MAYFIELD, KU KLUX KLAN SENATOR-ELECT FROM TEXAS TWO Fort Worth, Tox., Nov. 18—Earle B. Mayfield, Democrat Senator-elect from Texas, having been through a dozen court contests to retain his nomination and keep his name on the ballot, now faces another battle to save his seat. His opponents, through Luth er Nickels, Dallus attorney, announce they will carry the fight against him to the floor of the Senate. R. B. Creger, Republican National Committeeman from Texas close personal friend of President Harding will aid in the fight against Mayfield. It is contended there was no election in Texas. "The fight for constitutional government will continue," said Creger, "until the Ku Klux Klan is dissuaded. The party of Texas did not indorse George Peddy for partisan reasons, in hope of gaining a victory. We were for Peddy because we want to see the Klau driven from Texas policies." The Pedy forces were pleased at the defeat of Senators Frelinghuysen and Calder, as both voted to support New berry, and the Pedy factions allega the Mayfield and Nowberry cases are similar. Mayfield fought through two primaries for his nomination and when he won his Democratic foes, claiming he was of Ku Klux Klan candidate in stead of the Democratic, sought by trials, injunctions and mandamuses to force Secretary of State Staples to order election boards throughout Texas not to print Mayfield's name on the ballot. "STEAM ROLLERED" BY KLAN These court contests began immediately after the State Democratic convention in San Antonio, where the anti Klan faction alleges it was "steam rollered" by the Klan. It held a convention of its own in Dallas and nominated George E. B. Peddy of Houston as an independent Democratic candidate. Peddy's name could not go on the ballot with a Democratic designation, for he had voted for Mayfield in the primaries. The Republicans, therefore, accepted Peddy and sought to have his name go on the ballot as their nominee. Secretary of State Strompley backed by Al Gore, the Republican candidate, Peddy go on as a Republican candidate on the ground that the Republicans failed to nominate him either in primary or in convention. Peddy's counsel at a hearing in New Orleans asked a special Federal court of three judges to order Keeling to place Peddy's name on the ballot. The court ruled that it was without jurisdiction. While this hearing was going on Mayfield was being tried in District Judge Scarborough's court at Corsecla, Texas, the Judge having granted an injunction against the printing of Mayfield's name on the ballot when anti-Klan attorneys declared he had exceeded the $10,000 expense limit in his primary campaigns. It is on this same claim that the case will be pressed in the Senate, according to Peddy's counsel. The trial at Corsecla lasted a week and Mayfield was the stand a long time. He admitted that he had joined the Klan but said he had resigned from it in January. Evidence showed that the Klan had accepted him as their candidate and had raised large funds for him; including $12,000 in Dallas, $10,000 in Houston and $6,000 at Wichita Falls. No sooner had Mayfield admitted he had got out of the Klan than Col Billy Mayfield's paper, a Klan publication came out severely ambushing the candidate for "riding the Klan until he was nominated and as long as he could use it," said Mayfield. "It was of no further use to him." "Billy" and "Farle" are not related. GUILTY OF EXCESSIVE SPENDING The jury, on instructions from Judge Scarborough, found Mayfield guilty of exceeding his expense limit and of "knowingly failing to keep account of his various items of donations and expenses." The most sensational point in the trail was when Mike McNamara, an employee of the State Oil and Gas De partment, testified. This department is part of the Railroad Commission of which Mayfield is a member, McNamara declared the stand and told him to collect funds at Graham, that he did so and sent the money to Mayfield, the amount being $200 which Mayfield had failed to list. When it became known that Mayfield would have to submit to an injunction hearing McNamara was called to Austin, where Mayfield, he testified, asked him to "forget" the $200 matter, to say that he raised it without the censure date's knowledge or request and that McNamara gave him the fax. A few days after the Corcusman hearing McNamara was "fired" by J. W. Hassell, chief of his department. Citizens at Graham and all over the State protested against this dismissal, but he has not been reinstated Mayfield approved the dismissal. Mayfield appealed the Corcusman case to the Appelate Court in Dallas, and it went from there to the State Supreme Court. Whenever Mayfield would win in the course of the litigation the Peddy or anti-Klan attorneys demand a rehearing, or file a writ of annulment in another court. Finally both sides appealed to the State Supreme Court as a last resort. For the first time in Texas history the said Supreme Court found itself holding night sessions. Once it was advised that Henry D. Lindsley, Peddy's campaign manager and former nation al commander of the American Legion by airplane from Dallas to Austin to London against Mayfield. So the three Supreme Judges sat solemnly at their bench, awaiting arrival of the plane, but it had an accident at Waco and never arrived COURT SITS ON SUNDAY At another time the Dallas Appellate Court decided a point in favor of May field at 9 o'clock on Saturday night be fore the election and Peddy asked a re hearing. So the court met at 9 o'clock Sunday morning to give its ruling. This was the first Sunday court session ever held in Texas. The ruling was against Mayfield, so the Peddy attorneys again hurried to the Supreme Court, declaring that since the ruling was given on Sunday it was illegal. The Supreme Court held otherwise, its decision coming the following Monday afternoon at 3:30, with the polls opening next morning at 7 o'clock. In the meantime election boards in 250 counties were receiving daily messages from Staples ordering them to print Mayfield's name on the ballot or rescinding this order. Sometimes, in the seasaw of the litigation, contrary orders would come within an hour. Many counties had to distribute ballots without Mayfield's name because there was no time in which to print, use, or ballot printed names of Senatorial candidates. Some counties printed two sets of ballots so were able to compy with the final ruling of the Supreme Court. In Dallas county, the strongest Klan section in Texas, Mayfield's name did not get on the ballot, although he won in that county by a 3 to 1 vote over Peddy, Bexar county, in which is the city of San Antonio, also used uncleavess ballots. Peddy's name was not on any of the ballots. 76 KNOWN DEAD—32 INJURED—COAL MINE BLAST TOLD THE TANK One court, that of District Judge A. M. Blackman at Groesbeck, issued two injunctions against the printing of Mayfield's name. The Dallas Appellate Court overruled the first on an appeal but the Mayfield forces were not quick enough on the second, so a Trial actually started which would have been a repetition of the Corsica hearing. Half way through and after McNanura had testified regarding the funds he had given to Mayfield, word was received that the Appellate Court had assumed jurisdiction so Judge Blackman discontinued the hearing. This was on the Saturday before the election. MAYFIELD DENOUNCES JUDGES Mayfield in bitter terms denounced Judge Scarborough as a "disgrace to Texas" and was but little less emphatic in his denunciation of Blackman, "I may be held in contempt of court" he told one audience, "but I hold them in as much contempt as they may hold me." Several motions for contempt of court were filed, one directed against Thomas B. Love of Dallas, Democratic National Committee from Texas. Love asked the people of Texas to dis regard Judge Blackman's injunction and vote for Mayfield and asked election boards to print his name. Kealing and Staples were cited to appear for contempt in the Dallas Appollite Court or wiring instructions to counties he force received notice of a rallig from that court. None of the contempt cases has been finally acted upon. THE MAYOR In his first primary campaign Mayfield refrained from mentioning any of his opponents or even denouncing their issues. In the second primary he was forced to weaken in this attitude because of the rapler thrusts by James E. Ferguson, who remained as his sole contender. Mayfield used strong language against Ferguson and the latter came back with accusations of sensationalism.

Ferguson read affidavits telling of alleged drinking orgies in which Mayfield participated and said that on two occasions he became drunk while campaigning.

Winchester, Va., Nov. 22—Moonshiners in the wooded fastnesses of Highland and Bath counties, Va., have adopted a novel method, untried here toford, for defeating the efforts of pro-bison officers to break up their stills according to officers returning today from raids in the mountains. Distillers are now employing kennels of skunks to permeate the atmosphere with a high-powered odor that dwarfs into significance all others in the vicinity of the stills, preventing officers from locating the stills by the alcoholic odors in the air. To do so able to smell the stills," explained one of the moonshiners, began using pole-cats. When caught or a pole-cat gets started in any given neighborhood, the smell from a corn whiskey or apple brandy still cannot be detected by any human nose. PASSES CENTURY MARK; MEETS DEATH IN FIRE. Thomasville, Ga., Nov. 21.—George Hadley, said to have been the oldest man in this section of Georgia, was burned to death in a fire that destroyed his home last Wednesday night. He gave his age to census enumerators in 1920 as more than 100 years and to substantiate his age he told of things he witnessed which happened more than 90 years ago.

Jollet, Ill., Nov. 22.—William Bross Lloyd, wealthy Chicago radical, was put into prison garb early today. Lato last night Lloyd, convicted with twenty others under an Illinois law for radical utterances, voluntarily surrendered at the Jollet penitentiary to begin serving his sentence 1 to 5 years. It was regarded as probable that Lloyd today would be assigned to teach a class of other prisoners. For six days a search has been made for him. It centerer around his comfortable home in Winnetka, a fashionable Lake Shore suburb of Chicago, where he was reported to have gone after his last effort to retain freedom had been denied by the supreme court. Lloyd spent his first night of confinement in a detention cell. His arrival at the prison was shrouded in secrecy, but he found a small army of newspap er men waiting.

JAAAHALME MIKAHIKAM PTODDON OLD ALABAMA MEDICAL SCHOOL BUILDING USED FOR NEGROES. (Presston New Service) Mobile, Ala., Nov. 25.—The old medical college building here has been turned into a school for Negro children, according to announcement made last Monday by the school board commissioners. The building is being used for ten classes and many colored children, who were without the advantages of education, have enrolled. Use of the building for Negro school purposes is said to be temporary. The commissioners are at this time negotiating for the purchase of property in Davis avenue on which will be built a modern school building for Negro child. It is said, however, that the commissioners are still considering the property of the parental home, and efforts are being made to untangle some of the legal phases oncumbering the property. It is said that decision of the School board to use the medical college came after many stormy sessions, at which time protests were entered against. Its use for both white and colored children was a school. Finally, the board, taced with the choice of other scores of children without a school or come out firmly and size the building. It chose to use the building. No protests were then made. Constantinople Merchant Calls His Shop "American Bakery" A. D.

PHONE MADISON 577—Man On Duty All Night—RICHMOND, VA (RESIDENCE NEXT DOOR) NEW PARTY CONVENTION The following interview was given out today by the Committee of 48 from its National Headquarters, 15 East 40th street through its Executive Chairman, Mr. J. A. Hopkins who has been singularly accurate in his pre-election forecasts, Mr. Hopkins said: "The outstanding features of the election returns are the triumph of Economic Progressivism and the fact that the American public disregarded party labels and voted for mon and measures. As a result the new party movement was established as a political entity in Delaware and Pennsylvania and displaced the Democratic Party as a major party in Minnesota, Idaho and South Dakota, where the new party now occupies either first or second place in Wisconsin, the Democratic Party holds its identity altogether. On the other hand, the republican party like the Democratic Party in 1920 was emphatically repudiated and its most prominent leaders the Senate and the House were disastrously defeated. These are the significant facts which constitute the handwritten The election of Democratic candidates in some states was due to the lack of Progressive organization in these states, and does not in any way indicate a revival of confidence in the Democratic Party. This is borne out by an analysis of the returns Brookhart in Iowa, Stipendat in Minnesota, LaFollette in Wisconsin Wheeler in Montana; Howell and Bryan in Nebraska; Frazier and Sinclair in North Dakota; Walton in Oklahoma were elected not because they were Republican or Democrats, but because they were opposed to practically every thing for which the Democratic and Republican parties stand. These men stood for the abolition of Special Privilege the public ownership of our Transportation System, the Public Control of our National Resources; Equal, Economic, Legal, Civil Rights and the preservation of all Rights guaranteed by the Constitution. This is the platform of the Committee of 48 adopted at its National Convention in December 1919. "These are the paramount issues up on which the Progressive forces of the country will unite in 1923 and 1924. Beveridge went down in defeat in Indiana because after defeating Henry S. New, the Harding Senatorial mouth piece, in the Primaries he turned around and joined with the Harding reactionaries in the election, Du Pont of Delaware, Mondell of Wyoming, the Republican floor leader in the House, Volastad of Minnesota, the Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Mitter of New York, Townsend of Michigan Frelinghuysen of New Jersey, Sutherland of West Virginia and Culbertson of Texas, were all discarded because they represented Special Privilege, while Lodge only won by a hair breadth in Massachusetts and the recount may yet reverse this result. The new Senate and House will in chile many members who, irrespective of party labels, stand squared for the Progressive principles of the Committee of 48. They have nothing in common with either the purposes or the political beliefs of the Republican and Democratic Parties. They represent a cohesive force bound together not by party labels but by principles. They represent the nucleus of the New Party movement which in 1924 will contest the election with the reactionary stand-patters of the Republic-Democratic Party. In the 1922 election the voters of the country have demanded a new political alignment. This alignment must follow the principles which they have endorsed. Their virtud comes as a culmination and endorsement of the preparatory work which the Committee of 48 has been carrying on during the last four years, and the plans are already under way for the National Convention at which the New Party will be formally launched preparatory to the 1923-24 campaigns.

Second street, Richmond Beneficial Insurance Company's building, Richmond, Va., last Friday afternoon, Chairman W. H. Crocker of Suffolk, presided and Mr. C. C. Dogan, of Norfolk, kept the record of the meeting. The session was opened by prayer on the part of Rev. M. E. Davis, of Ports mouth. The most urgent business before the Committee was that of providing for the next annual meeting of the League After considerable discussion of the various cities of the State Richmond was selected as the place for the meeting, which was appointed to be held July 11th and 12th, 1923. A program consisting of addresses and papers on various business subjects, also group conferences will be arranged. To this end men of national reputation, experts from the U. S. Commercial Department and experienced men acquainted with the selen tffic side of commercial affairs, will be invited to be present and to discuss repective subjects. One of the most important things done by the Committee was the arrange mer: for registering the colored business men, women, and corporations in the state of Virginia. Blanks for this purpose have been printed, and will be placed in the hands of commissioners, who will register over race enterprise in the cities, towns, villages and cross-roads in the commonwealth. When this data for the entire State will be compiled and published as the first Negro Business Directory of Virginia, it will be a very useful volume of information and will serve as a stimulus for greater business activity among the colored people of the state.

REVOLT THROUGH NEGROES (Myr Francis M'Cullagh.) Moscow, Nov. 15. The first appearance of Negro delegates in a congress of the Third Internationale, which has been noted in the fourth such meeting of that body, now in session here, is interpreted by the Izvestia, Moscow's official organ, as a "portent of the mightiest historical moment, in that the blues may play a considerable role in the impending struggle against world imperialism." The paper continues: "The awakening of Asia is an accomplished fact, and Asia's imperialism is its most vulnerable spot, owing to the coordination of white proletarianism with the revolt of oppressed Asiatics But the greater blow to the international bourgeoisie will fail when the liberation movement inflames the blacks, a tenth part of whose race is in America. Such a movement will effect not only capitalistic America, but also England and France, and in Africa whether it is hoped to extend Bolshevism through the American Negroes." The Izvestia prints prominently a statement of the position of the Negroes of America by Asseh, an American Negro delegate. Asseh gives statistics including instances of oppression of the blacks in the Southern states. The Negro question is to be studied by a special commission of the International. This extraordinary assembly, where in the workers of all nations are reprinted, is sitting in the throne room of the Kromlin, a commission is engaged in compiling a report of the speeches. None of the speeches will fill a large volume. Used of the speeches were in German, that language being more generally understood among the delegates. The bold program outlined is the destruction of the forces of oppression everywhere, Fascimo, the influence of the Powers in Asia, or that exercised by the whites against the blacks.

The Hon. Marcus Garvey is much wrought up over an interview with Monsieur Diagne, the black Senegalese Deputy, who is quoted as saying: Garvey's crusade for the redemption of Africa can only fall flat for African Negroes are diverse and lacking in cohesion. The dangerous Utopia proposed would not serve their real interests. The majority of both Negro Congresses at Paris in 1919 and at Brussels in 1921 opposed Garvey strongly. We are of the opinion that Monsieur Diagne is correct in what he says both about the African Negroes and about the two Negro Congresses, but he over looks the fact that Mareus Garvey and his followers do not recognize the following and representative character of either of the Negro Congresses, to which he alludes. The "Echo de Paris, or rather its reporter asked: "Is the movement dangerous?" He answered "Not now, but eventually." We do not question the accuracy of this reply. It is the future, which holds the danger to which a reference is made. Other quotations are as follows: The paper went on to say, however, that Monsieur Diagne himself as a Negro believes that most Americans are eager to see Garvey succeed and take the surplus Negro population out of the country. He says the United States Negro population has risen from four millions in 1866 to fifteen millions now. We are of the opinion that there is truth in all that this distinguished Black French statesman has said. There is no great revolution, which does not carry with it the elements of danger. One of the colonists of this country made the remark: "We must all hang together or we shall hang separately." It is true of every revolution, whether peaceable or otherwise. There are thousands of Negro-haters who see in the Garvey movement a chance to rid this country of its surplus Negro population and who favor its success for that reason. They are "fooling themselves," just as tens of thousands of them fooled themselves with the Booker T. Washington movement. The Hon. Marcew Garvey is "building better than he knows." He is laying the foundation for a world wide revolution on the part of the black people. He may be imprisoned or executed, but the fire he has kindled will burn brightly and the work, which he has begun will go on to its conclusion. We see or think that we see this in the agitations now going on in India, Turkey and Africa inclusive of the Isles of the Sea. Monsieur Diagne, like Dr. W. E. B. Dubois belongs to another type of Negroes. They are loyal first to their motherland. Diagne is a Frenchman first and a Negro afterwards. Du-Bois of a mixed breed is a citizen of the United States and an advocate of the Negro's rights afterwards. He advocates justice to the Negro, just as he would advocate justice to all subject races. Hon. Marcus Garvey is leader of Negroes, of black peoples and he makes no secret as to his attitude. He has contempt for any Negro, who fails to be absolutely loyal to the Negro as such and who does not bow to the shrine of the Ethiopian. We admit that we do not approve of his attack upon Monsieur Diagne's private life. His family should be above attack. He is married to a white woman and Garvey charges him with committing race suicide. We do not disagree with Monsieur Garvey in thought, believing that Colored men should marry colored women, but we do not think that we should set ourselves up as a judge in this matter of personal selection. It has proven to be a racial weakness among black men, just as the selection of colored women by white men has proven to be a national scandal. But in the discussion of great, fundamental questions, this consideration should not enter. Still Hon. Marcus Garvey states a fact when he says: All black men do not want white women for wives or for companions; therefore, we are bound to have a differeent opinion on things to such fellows as Du Bols and Diague. We respect the womanhood of the white race, inasmuch as we expect the men of the white race to respect the womanhood of the black race. Fellowss like Diague are those who aggravate the race question, because they force white men to conclude that to educate a black man, to give him opportunities is but to fit him to be a competitor for the hand of his woman; hence, the eternal race question; but we of the Universal Negro Improvement Association say to the white race, and especially to the manhood of the race, that we feel that only the lowest element among Negroes seek marriage or comuniorship with women of other races. The men of the highest morals, highest character and noblest pride are to be found among the masses of the Negro race who love their women with as much devotion as white men love theirs. "Aggravation" is a mild form of expression. These aggravations will come in one form or another. It would be well for white men to lecture their own women for black men cannot marry white women without the white women's consent. Marcus Garvey asks: "Does he mean to free Africa is dangerous? If that black man means this, then he is nothing else but a wretch, he is a traitor of the blackest kind, but who would sell his country and his countrymen, but for a mess of white pottage. We do not see it in this light, for we believe that to free Africa or to attempt to free it is dangerous. But we believe that the dangers threatened are worth the cost. Marcus Garvey has often said that he would offer his own life as a sacrifice upon the altar of his mother-land's emancipation. His followers must do the same thing. The threats of danger should not deter positive action. Ghandi's movement in India, with absolutely a policy of non-resistance has been attended with danger for he is now in an English prison. No great reformation or revolution during the cycle of years has ever been accomplished save by the shedding of human blood and Monsieur Diagne's conclusion that the movement will become dangerous is in line with past precedents. But why should this deter or hinder present action? It was Patrick Henry who declared in St. John's Episcopal Church "Give me Liberty or give me death!" and it was by the inspiration of this ringing declaration that the American colonies won their recognition and brought about a Republic, which today leads the world. If the Hon. Marcus Garvey has in his band, people, who would desert the ranks if they thought that danger threatened, then the sooner that they are dropped from the movement, the better. It is a loss of time to deal with colored people of the Diagne and the Du Bois type, they are loyal first to their own countries and as such are entitled to respect. They regard racial activities as secondary. They owe allegiance first to the President of the French Republic and his Government and the President of the United States and his Government. These two types of Negroes should stop abusing and maltreating each other, but both types should pursue their selected course in peace. Selah. THE USE OF BLACK TROOPS. The remarks of the great French statesman, Georges Clemenceau was the subject of discussion in the United States Senate and as usual, the Negro had to be dragged into the discussion, not by a southerner, but by a westerner, who might also be termed a northerner. Senator Hitchcock is quoted as follows: The Nebraska Senator added that his purpose was not so much to criticize Clemenceau, but rather the policy of the French government toward Germany. He said America was honored by the former Premier's visit and observed that Clemenceau himself had invited criticism of his remarks. Referring to statements of former Prime Minister Nittich, of Italy, that Clemenceau's policy was characterized by a hatred of Germany, Senator Hitchcock continued: "So I deprecate somewhat the character of the messenger who has come from France to ask the United States to co-operate for peace. And yet Clemenceau was wild in his attitude toward Germany as compared with the present government of France. It has been said that he lost his position because of his too mild treatment of Germany, while the present attitude of France toward Germany is the extremist of extremes." "The policy of the French government is the policy of war not of peace" said the Senator. "The host evidence of this is the French reparations demands." He added that use of the black troops in the occupied regions was "a further provocative measure taken by France." "I'd like to have Clemenceau in his next speech justify the putting of Nemo troops among white people" said Senator Hitchcock. "It can't be justified." Mr. Clemenceau reminded the public that Senator Hitchcock had recently been defeated for re-election to the United States Senate. Just how a Senator from the Union State of Nebraska THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA could criticise the use of black troops in Germany, when the Federal Government used these same black troops in the heart of the Southland with Port Hudson, Fort Wagner and other places, not exceeding Richmond, Va., as the localities where they displayed signal bravery is a surprising thing to us. The discipline displayed by these troops was admitted to be the best in the world. Georges Clemenceau did not fail to comment upon the behaviour and valor of the black troops this country sent to France and by indirection, he dealt a blow to the distinguished Nebraskan, from which he has not yet recovered. We regret to learn of the injury to Hon Wm. F. Rhea, Chairman of the State Corporation Commission in a automobile accident last Monday and we hope for his early complete recovery. He and his associates constitute the hub around which the corporations in this State revolve. The United States Senate has sent the Liberian Loan Bill back to the committee, which means its defeat for this session. When it comes to giving colored folks even in Africa money as a loan, the politicians have that tired feeling, which can only be dissipated by summary action at the polls. The Democrats in the United States Senate have decided to defeat the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill by a prolonged filibuster. It will be necessary to force it through the Senate however in order to save the Ship Subsidy bill. 13 the Democratic minority can defeat the one, they can annihilate the other Subscribers continue to answer our appeals and for this, we are sincerely thankful. You can pray too much and work too little, just as you can sleep too much and pray too little. RHINE TROOPS ARE ARABS. But Some Are Said to Have Mixed Negro Blood. Paris, Nov. 27.—It is entirely true that there are no black French troops on the Rhine, as former Premier Chiemenga says, but there are many units of Arabs from Algiers and Moroc co still there. The distinction is sometimes very fine. A majority of these Algerians and Morocans are pure-blooded Arabs, having about the same complexion as American Indians, but there are others with mixed Negro blood. These warriors are fierce fighters and all are Mohammedans. "Just yesterday," the Royalist Cleral newspaper Action Francais angrily says: "in campaign has been started to withdraw these Arabs from the Rhine to please the boches. It is stated that French civil authorities in the Ribnuelin, numbering hundreds are openly sympathizing with the civil population regarding the presence of these Arab troops." The newspaper fears that enough pressure might be brought on the Government to override military influence on the question. WYTHEVILLE NEWS Rev. G. O. Wing continues to point men to the Saviour.

DEBS DESPISES AND DEFIES U. S. LAW Would Rather Be in Jail With Self Respect Than Be Free and Gagged Chicago, Nov. 26—Eugene Debs, leader of the Socialist party, made his first public speech since leaving Atlanta Penitentiary here today. Hundreds stood outside the hall for hours after fire guards had limited the audience to 4,000. Jean Longuet, French Socialist in whose honor the meeting was held, was overshadowed by the demonstration to Debs. Huge haskets of red roses tied with red ribbons were given to Debs and after the meeting the Socialist National Committee was forced to conceal him for nearly an hour to keep the crowd from covering him away. "I am just recovering from the effects of a speech I made almost four years ago." Debs told the audience "It was a record making speech. I be gan it at Canton, Ohio, and finished it at Atlanta penitentiary." HAS NO REGRETS "But there is nothing to regret. I opposed the war and I still oppose war. I would not go to war at the command of any capitalist country on the face of this earth. I would have saved the lives of the 60,000 American boys who perished on the battlefields of France to create 30,000 new millionaires in the country. I spoke at Canton from a deep sense of conviction, and after all ten years is a very modest sentence for having an opinion of your own in the Unit ed States. "Out of the war," he said, "one great good came, quite unexpected to the ruling classes of the world. That was the Soviet Republic." Ho praised the nineteen Communists, including William Bross Lloyd, whose conviction under the Illinois anti-syndicalism law was uphold a few days ago, and attacked the act under which they were found guilty as a "disgrace to any State." Likewise, he said, he stood behind the twenty Communists who are slated to go on trial at St. Joseph, Mich., tomorrow under a similar law and would fight for the freedom of the sixty-eight war time prisoners. "Mostly members of the de spised I. W. W." who are still in Federal prisons. DESPISES THE U. S. LAWS "I am almost ashamed,' Debs said, "to be out of prison while those men are still back of the iron bars." Their continued incarceration is a "high confluent from the Government of the United States, a Government so cowardly it fours these sixty-eight men will overthrow it." "I would far rather," he continued, "he in jail with my self-respect than on the streets with a gag in my mouth, "I despise and defy their laws. I am not a citizen of the United States, despite the fact that I was born and raised in Indiana. Because I obeyed my conscience. I lost my citizenship, but I would far rather have it that way than keep my citizenship and lose my conscience." He attacked "government by injunction" and said that if he had been in Chicago when the recent rail strike in junction was issued he would have 'as sorted my manhood by defying it and the corporation lawyer-judge that issued it." Jean Longuet devoted most of his ad dress to an attack on Georges Clemenceau and the peace treaty of Versailles. Clemenceau, he declared, no more rep resents France than Mr. Schwab or Mr. Plepont Morgan represents the spirit of America." TWO INJURED IN AUTO WRECK (Preston News Service) Washington, D.

My interest in Liberia dates back to 1909 when T went (o Liberia by appoint ment of President William H. ‘Patt aa a member of tho American Commis: ston to Liberia. It was through the et forts of this Comunission that Liberia's dificulties ut that time were adjusted and its debt refunded. My interest was also shown in 1918, when T was one of a group of persons who met President Wilson at the White House for a dis cussion of this Liberian Credit, tho meeting having been arranged by Ma- jor Robert R.

THE RIOHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Yes, the owners of the Mechanics Savings Bank, representing approximately individuals, the depositors, representing about three thousand, not including tl Christmas Savings Club Cards, the white and colored people of this city, who ar ested in retaining the confidence of the colored peoole of this community and the ¢ the white and colored peuple of the United States, are waiting. They all want to know the approximate amount of the assets to re-open { Savings Bank. . The amount is stated in the following extract from the decree sigt Judge: of the Richmond Chancery Court- , Bat how much more is needed? The Receivers assert that they cannot determine this ameunt vatil all the pass-beoks of the depositors have beea turaedin and halanced, To meet this condition the depositors, in meeting assembled, hy wnanimous vote, decided to share in any Kiahility 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 Rank in order that those depositors who are ur- gently in need of some of their money may be able to get it and those who wish to deposit their savinés may be permitted so to do. The depositors stand pledged nut to make any run on the Bank (ther 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. by 1 genuine interest in the struggles of tho Little Republic on the West Coast of Africa.

It is, therefore, exceedingly untar for the junior Senator from Mississip: pi to publicly make a statement mani Testly intended to unfavorably. reflect upon me when he could most easily have been direetly and correetly te formed as to the facts in the matter. It is also most unfair to the juntor Senator from Mississippi for him to have been made the dupe of certain Negro politicians from his own State. who are seeking to feed personal grudges rather than to furnish the truth and whoso false representations have caused the Senator to make state ments on the floor of the Senate which he, himself, confesses he is un ablo to prove. .

SERIOUS FAMINE IN PORTUSESE EAST AFRICA ENDANGERS LIVES OF MILLIONS OF NATIVES SIX New York, Nov. 20. A story of funie that threatens the life of at least 1,500,000 natives in Inhambane Portuguese East Africa, was brought to New York Office of the Board of Foreign Missions of the Methodists Episcopal Church today by the Rev. J. D. Pointer of Wilmore, Kentucky who is just returning on furough from missionary service in that country. Rev. and Mrs. Pointer have spent ten years in Inhambane and are now to have a year's rest in Wilmore, Kentucky; Mr. Pointer was formerly a pastor in Louisiana. According to Mr. Pointer the famine area extends about 300 miles north and south and about 100 miles island from the coast. Abut 1,500,000 people live there, of whom some 6,000 are Christians. The 1922 harvest, which usually comes in March or April, was a total loss because of lack of rain. Most of the lakes have dried up and there is practically no irrigation. Corn and peanuts are the main crops, though the tapiocea plant and sweet potatoes are also raised. None of these articles have been grown throughout the territory since March 1921 and since the natives have no money, they have been unable to avail themselves of sup plies coming by boat from the Transvail. Even this grain has been held at the prohibitive price of $2 per bushel. As a result, large numbers of people have been dying since last April; the number will run into many thousands before the harvest of April 1923, says Mr. Pointer. Then, if there is another crop failure at this time—as is not unlikely according to experts—it will be necessary to raise millions of dollars for food if wholesale disaster is to be prevented. The Portuguese officials in Inhambane, Mr. Pointer reports, are helping a little but nothing commensurate with the need and suffering. The Board of Foreign Missions has sent from its headquarters, 150 Fifth Avenue, New York City enough funds to purchase grain to keep the members of the Chrisian communities alive until spring; it has no funds available for more extensive relief. This Inhambane section of Africa has for many years furnished some 300,000 young men annually for work in the mines around Johannesburg. When the effects of the famine were first felt, there was a rush of men to the mines, but it was necessary to turn away many thousands. Many mines have been working only part of the time owing to strikes and a number have been flooded during the disorders and cannot be operated for some months. It is noticed also that the young men are not returning from Johannesburg after a year or two in --- Read The Richmond Planet Agents Wanted Everywhere the mines, as is their custom, but are remaining until the famine is over. The Board of Foreign Missions has also received word from Dr. J. C. Stauff facher, missionary in Inhambane, that 'you can travel a day's journey in any direction and see several people dead or dying from starvation by the roadside. Last week on our farm at Kambini five were found dead before they could reach us. A little boy came to me yesterday and wanted to sell his little sister for two sacks of corn because he was hungry." MISSISSIPPI GOVERNOR AND LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR TILT. In Disagreement Over the Pardoning of Negroes. Jackson, Miss., Nov. 22.—It is said that the war of the Rebellion was caused on account of the Negro, and now a governor and his Heutenant governor are at war over two Negroes. Governor Russell is dead as Hector in Mississippi," declared Lieutenant Governor Homer Castle, who went to Memphis last Tuesday to carry on the fight precipitated last Saturday when Governor Russell raced from Memphis to the Mississippi Line to block the pardoning of two Negroes by Lieutenant Governor Castle. Castle said that he went to Memphis to gather information to prove that Governor Russell was in Memphis when the pardoning was done. He ex pressed complete confidence that his position would be upheld when the test comes. He was bitter in his denunciation of Governor Russell and said that the governor interfered solely for the purpose of getting into the limelight. He explained that he signed the pardon for the two Negroes at 9:40 o'clock Saturday morning and that he had the advice of counsel that the pardons became effective immediately, their force not depending on the fixing of the seat of the secretary of state. It is said that court proceedings will be instituted in the next few days, probably at Greenville to test the right of Lieutenant Governor Castle to grant the pardon.

Lovy; Ohio, Mrs. Inquiry Johny S. Harrett, Oklahoma, Mrs. (Preston News Service) Buffalo, N. Y., Nov. 24.—Mob violence is no respector of race or sex is the contention of the women who are the moving spirits in the Anti-Lynch Crusaders, a newly formed organization representing every State in the union. These women are under the leadership of Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, formerly president of the National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs and winner of the Spingarn Medal for distinguished service rendered during 1921. The organization is working in conjunction with the National Association for the Advancement for Colored People and during the past few months have been able to enlist the co-operation and support of some of the leading white editors and thinkers through out the country in this movement. These women have set as their task to secure a membership of one million Negroes throughout the United States to work for the abolition of lynching and the passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynch Bill. A general education of the public as to the curse and shame of lynching is the hard part of the task set out to accomplish. However much is being done in this direction. Leading educators and editors are being influenced to use their talents and means to mould public sentiment against the crime of lynching. A million women united in an effort to press lynching is the slogan actuating these women in their strenuous effort to arouse the country against (this form of barbarity. The officers of the organization are: Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, National Director; Mrs. Helen Curtis, First National Vice Director; Mrs. Butter R. Wilson, second; Mrs. Lillian Alexander, Secretary; Mrs. Grace Johnson, Director of Publicity; Miss Mary Jackson, National organizer; Mrs. Etnah Bouttee, Mrs. Nina DuBois, Mrs. Genevieve Cannon, Mrs. Laura Rollo.k. and Mrs. Lillian Ray Waller, Program Directors; State Directors are: Arizona Mrs. Lynn Ross Carter; Arkansas, Mrs. L.

Napier; Texas, Mrs. Ethel Ransom; Virginia, Mrs. Margaret Johnson; West Virginia, Mrs. Maggie W. Arter; Wisconsin, Mrs. Clara C. Montgomery; Wyoming, Mrs. Olio Redd. When asked what progress was be ing made in their efforts to interest the people in the movement Mrs. Tubbert said: "We are having wonderful letters from hundreds of outstanding white women of the country as well as colored women of every state in the union. The campaign is progressing at most miraculously. We have had but few knocks and those were due to mis understanding of this campaign." PARADE OF MASKED MEN STREET TERRIOR TO HEARTS. Breckenridge, Tex. Nov. 22.-Scorers of Mexicans and Negroes have left this town during the past 24 hours as cording to reports being sent out by local authorities. It is said that Negroes are by far in majority of those leaving. The sudden exodus followed a march of a crowd of masked men, estimated at over 500 through the Negro and Mexican districts last Tuesday night and alleged threats that Mexicans and Negroes must leave Breckenridge at once or have their homes burned. Other threats of violence are alleged to have been sent to Negroes and Mexicans. It is thought that members of the Ku Klux Klan are responsible for this movement to drive Mexicans and Negroes out as most of the work being done here is by Negro and Mexican labor. Many jobs held by Negroes and Mexicans were vacant on Wednesday, including that of a Negro School teacher, who is alleged to have left town also. Mayor Fulwiler is reported to have issued a statement to the effect that everything possible will be done to protect residents of this city, regardless of race or creed. The chamber of com merce pledged co-operation with the city authorities in affording protection. Extra police have been placed on duty; it is said that no further trouble is expected ```markdown ``` WOMEN QUARREL; GO INTO THE STREET AND FIGET. (Preston News Service) (Preston News Service) Newark J. J. Nov 28 - Suffering from a stab wound in the chest, Miss Phoebe Morrow, aged 29 years, was taken to the city hospital last Friday night. There it was found that the knife had penetrated her lung. She told the police that Miss Elvira Taylor had stabbed her in the fight.

The Gold and black defenders, ile spite their former prowess as manifest ‘ed inv previous games, were actintly outplayed in (he first three quarters of Ure game, In reality they lacked the usual punch and fight spirit which oe. dlinarily characterizes their brand of football, ‘The opponents, on the con- ‘trary, proved to be hard line hitters, clean taeklers, and full of fight; in fact, a much ‘better team than Sim: ‘mons had list season, } Repeatedly during the first quarter, Simmons ripped through tackle, tore arcund ends, and fought the heavy W. Na. Mno for first downs, So effective vere the plunges and dashes of the Maroons that they marched down (he gridiron {o Institute's one-yard line, where the Yellow Jackets, with in- creased vigor, held their driving op: ponents for downs and kicked out irom behind their own goal, | During the latter part of the secon’ quarter Hall, for Simmons, received ft pass on Institute's 30 yard Tine, bw made no further gain; yet Ure pass netted twenty yards, By eight succes: sive line plunges Simmons scored the first touchdown of the game, and Hall Kicked tho goal, Institute received, and Sinckur, racing around left end, fum bled wnen he was carried off his fest by two sturdy “Cornerackers.” ‘The first half ended with Simmons recover ing the fumble on Institute's 1 yard hne. ‘The second half began with Sim- amon receiving onthe 30 yard line, Dut Institute got the ballon downs.

With line plunges the Yellow Juckets forced their way to the ten yard Hino where the ball went over 19 Simmons on downs, Cardwell received a punt on the ten yard line and on the next four plays he made the touclr down for Institute, Turner kieked the Koal. Inasmuch as the referee dcelared the point Mexal on the basis that the gonl was kieked while time was beinx taken out, the unerring toe of ‘Turner accordingly “had to send the pigskin twirling between the uprights a see- ond time in order to get the seventh point. The remaining portion of the contest was played, while Simmons held the ball, the end of the clash com ing with Simmons on Institute's ten yard line.
