VOLUME XL, NUMBER 5 JOHN For O Propert Unjustl He Still Wa DEMOCRATS FIGHT THE DYER ANTI-LYNCHING BILL TO DEATH IN THE SENATE (Preston News Service) Washington, D. C., Dec. 4—Possibly no bill in the history of the Senate was ever as bitterly fought as the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill. The determined southern democratic members of the Senate are putting up the fight of their lives to defeat this bill. The famous un-American speech of Senator Haynes is being freely quoted. To sit in the senate and listen to filibuster methods one is reminded of antebellum days. The fact that this measure contemplates provision for the benefit of American Negroes has stirred the fro of southern democrats and other members of the Ku Klux Klan. While no public mention of the klan was made on the senate floor it was plainly obvious that it is the one big purpose of the klan element to defeat this measure. The bill is being championed in the senate by such stalwart men as Senator Willis, of Ohio; and Lodge of Massachusetts and Edge of New Jersey. These senators seem to be determined to wage a desperate fight for the passage of the bill although the minority is throwing a terrible bluff in the republican camp. Some observers are of the opinion that the republican members will finally abandon the fight to pass this bill in the face of such stubborn opposition. Commenting editorially upon the action of members of the senate in regard to this measure the Philadelphia Inquirer says: "A VICIOUS MINORITY SWINGS A CLUB" "There is a bill before the Senate of the United States which a minority of its members do not like. To prevent a vote on this measure, which is designed to deal with that extreme pleasure which certain states find in hanging men to trees or burning them at a stake, these opponents have resorted to a filibuster. They have blocked all business. "While their actions have been strictly parliamentary under the ancient and moth-beaten rules which govern the proceedings of the Senate, they have nevertheless made national nuisances of themselves. They have swung a club They have threatened to block all progress. "The situation raises the question as to the rights of a minority. Those rights consist in demanding a careful consideration of any proposed legislation. They do not comprise a resort to methods which refuse a ballot on approval or rejection. The deliberate denial of reasonable debate would afford a justifiable reason for protest and complaint. But there is no such denial on the part of the majority in this case. The boot is on the other leg. It is the minority which denies debate and the subsequent bringing of the issue to a vote. "It is a vicious movement which those who object to the bill have resorted to. It means the refusal of all rights to the majority by the domination of the majority by the majority. No THANKSGIVING A GALA DAY IN RICHMOND LAST WEEK Thanksgiving was a gala day here and Richmond enjoyed a larger variety of events than has ever been her pleasure before. The churches took a more active interest in the day than heretofore and services of a character consistent with the spirit of the day were held, in nearly all of them. The festive and sporting elements of the city were energetic in pushing social and athletic events. The fans enjoyed a double-header football clash at Hovoy Field, a thing seldom heard of, and the trippers of the light fantastic toe were entertained at various socials and dances throughout the city. One of the most inspiring sights of the day was witnessed at the First Baptist Church, where the B. Y. P. U., with the aid of the Church had prepared more than 100 orders of provisions for the needy. Each order contained groceries and meats sufficient for some days. The needy were amply supplied and a surplus of several barrels was sent to the Old Folks Home and the Orphan Asylum. This was about the most suspendible arrangement of the kind ever prepared in this city and the committee deserves great credit. Dr. W. T. Johnson, pastor, conducted Thanksgiving services at 12 o'clock and Rev. L. V. Jeffress of West Point, Va. delivered the sermon, which was a gem. Dr. Walter H. Brooks, pastor of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church of Washington, D. C. paid his annual Thanksgiving call to Richmond and delivered two messages at the Ebenezer Baptist Church. The message of the morning was "The Supreme Standard of Human Conduct" and was pronounced by critics to have been one of the best Thanksgiving messages heard here and takes its place as the message of the age. This is the most fashionable event of the day here each year and large crowds were to each service. Dr. W. I. Stokes, was in charge. Fifth Street Baptist Church was open from morning until past midnight. At the morning services, Pastor T. J. King delivered the Thanksgiving sermon to a large congregation. After this service dinner was served by committees from the Calendar Society and the Missionary Society under the leadership of Mrs. Susie A. King and Mrs. Lillie Hardy. A great group rally took place at night, when the group leaders, under the leadership of Mrs. Mary B. Montgomery raised $655 in an effort for the Church. The pastor delivered the message of the evening and Master Linwood Binford delivered an oration on Thanksgiving. The pulpit was decorated with varied products of the soil and after the exercises they were distributed among the needy. Trinity Baptist Church, Rev, K. D. Turner, pastor, distributed more than a truck load of provisions to the needy, in commemoration of the day and many hearts were made happy. The Young Men's Christian Association entertained the men of the city in the rooms at Third and Leigh Streets from 7 to 11 P. M. A free dinner was served under the auxipses of the Women's Auxiliary and the men use high encomiums in praise RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1922 John Mitchell, Jr. has signed a deed of trust in favor of the Mechanics Savings Bank and the Order of Knights of Pythias, protecting both against loss to the extent of his real estate holdings, which he claims, under favorable conditions will bring $231,000.00. The amount to be covered is approximately $100,000.00. The Receivers have not as yet reported on the assets and liabilities of the Mechanics Savings Bank, although it was reported that they would do so by December 1st. The Directors of the Mechanics Savings Bank employed the auditors of the American Audit Company to verify the reports and to get a statement. Attorney Robert N. Pollard secured an order from the Receivers permitting the American Audit Company to do the work. When they presented themselves at the Mechanics Savings Bank for the purpose, they were told that the other auditors were using the books and they could not get to them until they had finished. They have been waiting now for about two months to get into the Bank. It was originally understood that a report would be made in ten days. It has now been nearly five months. Depositors have carried in their pass-books and they called December 1st to secure them, but some of them were informed that they were not ready to be given out. The depositors have expressed themselves as willing to aid the institution and the white people of the community are sympathetic. John Mitchell, Jr. endorsed a note for the Mechanics Savings Bank for $20,000.00. The American National Bank holds this note and other notes amounting to $79,000.00. It has, though, mortgages and Strand Theatre Bonds to the amount of $125,000.00. Still it has brought suit for judgment against John Mitchell, Jr. for $22,000.00. of the palatable Thanksgiving menu served them. Dr. Walter H. Brooks of Washington, delivered an address, rich in wisdom and profound in thought. President John S. Powell and General Secretary Scott C. Burrell were all smiles as they surveyed the rooms crowded with young men. The women's committee was headed by Mrs. Laura Pride. Others who assisted were Mesdames Ellen Harris, Sarah Ragland, Frances Dabney, S. Alice Kemp Burrell, Eleanora Branche, Misses Louise Warren, Hattie A. Burrell, M. Robekah Burroll, Blanche A., Taylor, Janie E. Hart, Mr. Claude L. Anderson was chef for the occasion. The ladies wound up the night with a yell for the boys: "What's the matter with the Y. M. C. A? She's all right! Who says so? Everybody! Who is everybody? The Ladies Auxiliary!" THE BEE-HIVE PUZZLE SOLUTION We are publishing this week on page six of this issue the Bee Hive Puzzle Master List.

Philadelphia, Dec.—The Friends have always stood fearlessly and faithfully by men, women and children who were disadvantaged but who were making a brave struggle to find a way out of their troubles. This spirit still prevails, as was shown in the recent conference which was held., in the Friends' Meeting House, Fifthth and Race Streets, under the auspices of the Philadelphia Yearly Meeting Committee on the Interests of the Colored Race and of the Philadelphia Inter-Racial committee. Dr. Elbert Russell, director of the Woolman School Swarthmore, Pa., presented a resolution calling for an open inter-racial conference to discuss methods of promoting inter-racial co-operation. This resolution was man imously adopted. A well-known Philadelphia Friend, J. Henry Scattergood, presided at this conference, which was called to consider "The Importance of Teaching Modern Sociology Squarely:" "The Preparation of Up-to-date Textbooks for Civic Classes;" "How to Teach Interracial Understanding and Cooperation;" "Qualities Needed in Civic Teachers; and "The Problem of Segregation." Anne Biddle Stirling, chairman of the Philadelphia Interracial committee referred to the fear and prejudice in the minds of white people which keep them from thinking clearly on problems of race relations. Mrs. Stirling stated that altogether too many white children are given the idea that the Negro as a class is dirty, ignorant and lazy. She pointed out clearly the need of teaching white children—and colored children, too—about Negroes who have made important achievements. Principal Lestie P. Hill of Cheyenne State Normal School spoke on "The Negro's Contribution to American Life." "We must have stated," he said "those important features of the lives of colored people about which we have heard too little. Newspapers and magazines are quick to exploit the negative aspects of the race problem. Seldom do we get any hearing for the uplifting features of the Negro problem. There is the deep-fixed conviction in the minds of many white people that the colored people of the United States are a worry, a problem., and an embarrassment." Associate Editor Alice Dunbar-Nelson of the Philadelphia Wilmington Advocate said: "Many children receive their picture of the black race through a picture of some Hottentot which they have seen in an elementary geography. Every locality has its history tinged by prejudices. There is a prevailing need of giving children the needed facts concerning Negroes. We do not teach literature. We are are taught by literature. Often a good poem has a high value in shaping human lives. Very often the wall of white prevarication does not admit color-truth. We need to begin with little children by giving them correct pictures of the contributions which all groups have made to civilization."

THIRD INTERNATIONALE DISCUSSES NEGRO PROBLEM IN U. S. A. (Preston News Service.) Moscow, Russia, Dec. 4.—Among the many questions being discussed at the Third International held hero to the Negro question. It came before an open session and attracted considerable attention and wide discussion. President Kolanoff proposed that detailed reports on the Negro question everywhere and especially in the United States be submitted before the conference in open session for the purpose of clarifying the subject for European members who are unfamiliar with the problem in other countries. However, it was suggested that the Communist parties support the Negro movement everywhere in connection with a proposal to call a congress at Moscow of all the revolutionary Negro organizations of the world, "to realize a united front of all Workers against capitalism and imperialism." The speaker then said that the political rights of Negroes in the United States were mere scraps of paper and that for a long time capitalist had been spreading propaganda among the Negroes in favor of white capitalists and against white workers. Until now he said the workers had done nothing to counteract this. Claude McKay, the versatile writer of New York City, who, it is understood is not a delegate, also addressed the Internationale, Mr. McKay asserted that the Negroes of America, were denied the right of free assembly and were often lynched, one purpose of the capitalists being to turn the mind of the worker class from class war by in citing him to race war. --- BYRD—CARTER Mr. and Mrs. Edward R.

(Preston News Service) Moundsville, W. Va., Nov. 27.—A pardon was issued last Friday to Claudia Garner who has served six years in the penitentiary here for murder. He is alleged to have told the war den when informed that he was free, "I don't want to be pardoned until after Thanksgiving, as I want to play my usual part in the prison minstrel show on that day." PASSENGER-INVOKES LAW AGAINST WHITE INVADERS OF RAILROAD CAR IN S. CAROLINA TWO How a colored railroad passenger in South Carolina maintained his rights against white invaders of the smoking and wash rooms is told in a letter of Wm. H. Summerson of Darby, Pennsylvania, made public today by the National Association for the Advance of Civil Rights, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York. "Leaving Charleston, S. C., Oct. 29, 1922 on the Atlantic Coast L. R. R. for Philadelphia," says the letter in part. "I took a seat in coach 1014 which in appearance was the same as the one occupied by the whites. In the forward end of the coach were, on the left, Ladies Toilet and on the right, Ladies Wash Room. About 15 minutes after the train left Charleston, I noticed a young man go into the ladies toilet, after coming out, be then went into the ladies' wash room, about 10 minutes later 2 men did likewise. I at once thought something was wrong so I began to investigate and I found that at the rear end of the coach, the smoking room with all accommodation was then taken over by whites and women once accustomed to use the women's toilet and if they wanted to smoke, they bad to go to the platform of the car to do so, and at one time 6 or more were there smoking while the train was speeding along. "Shortly after noting these faces the train conductor came along and I asked him, what about the men's smoking room and their toilet in that coach and he said that we would have to use the women's and go to the platform, if we wanted to smoke. I then said to him that it was against the law of the Inter-State Commerce and that I would report it. "Later I secured the names of a few witnesses which I here send you—While I was getting these names the conductor sat 3 or 4 seats back of me talking to 2 white men. Shortly afterwards they disappeared into the smoking room and a short while after that they disappeared by the whites and turned over to us before we reached Florence, S. C." The N. A. A. C. P., commends Mr. Summerson for the way he obtained witnesses and his courage in dealing with the situation. --- COMPULSORY MARRIAGE LAW IS URGED IN TURKISH ASSEMBLY "Matrimony, and Not the Maintenance of Peace and Work. Is the First Duty of Citizens of Turkey." Berlin, Nov. 23.—Marriage, and not the maintenance of peace and work, is the first duty of citizens of Turkey. Alarmed by the decimation of the population through more than ten years of uninterrupted wars and the present disposition to shirk matrimonial duties, the Kemalist national government has introduced a compulsory marriage law in the National Assembly. It serves for the punishment of matrimonial offenders. Translations from Turkish newspapers appearing in the German press give the following provisions of the proposed law: 1. Men and women who are unmarried when they reach the age of 25 will be forced to marry. 2. If sickness is given as a reason for nonmarriage, they must, at the age of 25 undergo a medical examination by physicians appointed by the government. If they are pronounced incurable they may remain single, otherwise the marriage will only be postponed until health is restored. 3. If a husband must travel and is not financially or otherwise in a position to take his wife with him, he may get from local authorities a "matrimonial leave of absence." If circumcision makes is necessary for a husband to live apart from his wife for a great length of time, and his means permit it, he can be compelled to take a second wife, and when his return home bring her with his wife. 4. Men who reach the age of 50 and have but one wife, though their means would enable them to marry a second and they refuse to do so, will be compelled to educate and maintain one or more orphans. 6. Men who are not with through with their college or university studies at the age of 25 are freed from the duty of being until their studies are completed. --- M. CLEMENCEAU HOLDS UP FOR BLACK TROOPS BY QUIZ ON SHAW MONUMENT. Band Called Off So Guest Would Not Doff Hat and Take Cold. GREETING FROM MAYOR 'We Are Twins,' Visitor Says, as He and City Were Born Same Day. Chicago, Nov. 27.—Chicago gave Georges Clemenceau a fine reception this afternoon. Brig.-Gen. Charles G. Dawes had charge of the technical air ranglements. He looked upon the day and found it raw and rough, with cloaks darkening the city, with roaring in from Lake Michigan and a threat of snow in the air. "If we have a brass band," said Dawes, "it will play the two national airs and M. Clemenceau will have to take off his hat. That may mean pneumonia. Call off the band." And so it was. There was plenty of fast trotting cavalry—the 122d Illinois Field Artillery—slik hatted committeemen, a parade, ticker tape writing, a downpour of confetti, crowds, police to thwain, explosions, enough police to thwain, attack on the Bas tille, but there was no first time since reaching this country Clementone appeared in public with out having to stop and gare his head for the "Marsollause." Nothing will fit that happy thought of Gen. Dawes but the tortured word unique. ONLY ONE SPEECH SCHBDULED Tonight Clemenceau rested at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Potter Palmer on the Lake Shore Drive, about a mile and a quarter from the center of the city the morning he will see the lake from his bedroom. A P.M. to morrow he will speak of his mission in the Auditorium. This is his onlyshelled uted address in Chicago, but he has been known to change his mind. The Chicago he knew was the Chica- M. THE TIGER OF FRANCE. go before the fire of 1871 and the re-building. "Ah," said he quickly when they asked him tonight what changes he noted. "It was yellow buildings with Milwaukee brick then; now its all brown. I have great interest in Chicago, because, you know, it ceased to be a fort (Fort Decarborn) and became a city the same year that I was born. So we are twins, eh." A correspondent told him at the Palmer home tonight of Senator Hitchcock's renewed attack in the Senate and his challenge to Celeomenceau to give "the real facts" as to black troops of France in Germany and as to atrocities. RECALLS BOSTON STATUE "Attacked?" said Clemenceau, tilting those cloquent eyebrows; "again? Good. Well, I have the official statement that it is not true. I can say no more. But wait a minute. Did I not see in Boston the other day the statue of Gould Shaw with his Negroes? Will you ask Senator Hitchcock about that? The statue he spoke of was St. Gauden's famous group in front of the State House—Col. Robert Gould Shaw leading his Negro civl war troops on the march. Clemenceau also was informed that a Negro in the Senate gallery had tried to ask Senator Hitchcock a question to do which he had removed. "Yes? What's it no business of mine," he replied. Nor, M. Clemenceau gave questioners to understand when they tried to get his views on Richard Washburna Child's "open door" speech at the Near East conference in Lausanne, was that "Any business of mine." He conceded that he was looking for ward to his visit with President. Wil son in Washington. Did he recall that Mr. Wilson once wrote a letter accusing him of being militaristic? FORGETS WILSON ACCUSATION "Oh," he exclaimed, dismissing the subject with a wave of the hands, "that was centuries ago. That is all for gotten." --- MOTOR BANDITS ROB BANK ON $4,000 IN GOLD. St. Joseph Mo., Nov. 23.—The days of the hard-riding, quick-shooting James boys, who raided Gallatin, Mo., half a century ago, were recalled to day when six bandits robbed the First National Bank of $4,000 in gold and currency. This time the speedy ponies which would sprint the instant their masters finished the job and jumped back to the saddle, were missing, but the watchers, holding the crowd of citizens at hay while "inside men" grabs the loot, the detonation of the exploding vault, the cornering of the night warrior, the wounding of the exceedingly humous, and the hurried getaway all were present. Today's bandits came by motor. They overlooked an extra $10,000 in their hurry to dongart and they use sawed-off shotguns instead of revolvers to keep the crowd intimidated. John Chamberlain, the night watchman and Frank Woolrfruit, a hotel keeper who were wounded are not considered in serious condition.

GENERAL KLAN SESSION HELD IN ATTANTA Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 27—Facing what is probably the greatest crisis in the history of the organization, the Imperial Klonovocation of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan was called to order to day. The meeting will last three days. Secrecy veils the proceedings and only the most mmegre reports are being given out as to the business transacted. It was announced, however, that nearly 1,000 chapters of the order were represented and that every section has its delegates. It is understood that the Klonovocation in York, Louisiana and Kansas will be considered and that steps to combat Klonovosition will be discussed. Coming on the heels of Mayor Hyland's order to clear the organization out of New York. The Klan outer preceedings in Kansas, and Governor Parker's visit to Washington to see the President on the situation in Louis jann, the suggestion of Senator Walsh that the President issue an order for the Klan to disband, has caused great perturbation here. In addition to these troubles the Klan is almost hopelessly involved, it would appear, locally in the courts, where a tangle of li'gations remains to be settled. It is certain that the order will fight to the end any effort to disband it or drive it out of any State, holding that it is legally chartered and has the right to operate in every State in the Union.

ATTACK JEWISH STUDENTS IN AUSTRIAN UNIVERSITIES. Vienna, Nov. 27—An anti-Semitic demonstration by students today has caused the suspension of classes in all the universities. Jewish students were beaten and driven from the buildings. The Christian students presented a memorial demanding that neither Jewish teachers nor students shall exceed 10 per cent of the number in the universities and also requiring that all foreign students shall pledge them selves never to seek or accept employment in Austria. The outbreak occurred simultaneously in all of the many colleges and academies in Vienna.

Senator Hitchcock (Neb.) had inserted in the Record the comments made by Clementean upon Senator Hitchcock's first speech. Then Senator Hitchcock directed attention to M. Clementean's denial that there are now black troops in the army of occupation on the Rhine. He recorded records to show that there were quartered on October 21. Germany 23,000 dark troops "of further races of whom 200 were Negroes." "I do not believe that M. Clementean deliberately lied," added Mr. Hitchcock," but I think he had, while in public life, habitually made reckless statements." During his speech he was interrupted by a Negro soldier in the gallery who desired to ask a question. The query at the time was over looked. When he concluded Senator Hefflin (Ala.) demanded that "the Negro who had insulted the dignity of the Senate should be ejected from the gallery." The Negro, Lucius Jones, is being treated at Mount Altio Hospital near here. He voluntarily left the gallery. As he hobbled out Senator Reed (Pa.) if it is any satisfaction to the Senator. Alabama he has aided d in driving from the gallery a wound soldier of the United States army." Senator Myers (Mont.) said he disent from the criticism hurled at M. Clemenceau. "I agree with him," he explained, "that we left Europe (too soon and that we should be in the League of Nations taking part in the affairs of Europe." --- EGYPTIANS SIDE WITH TURKS IN DEPOSITION OF SULTAN. Lausanne, Nov. 23.—The two Egyptian nationalist delegations here, which are making a common cause to obtain the complete independence of Egypt, have joined in a telegraph to Angola expressing felicitations upon the election of a new Caliph. According to the Nationalists the former Sultan will no longer be recognized as the head of the Moslem church in Egypt, and should the British seek to place him in such a position there, as rumored, they say it will stir up the worst Moslem revolt thus far known. The Egyptians, they insist, respect the British mixing in Moslem religious questions, as has been done in the case of the ex-Sultan. The telegraph dispatched to Angola congratulates the Turks upon their inspirational victory and thanks them for the fact that the Turks are standing for Wilson's principle of self-determination at Lausanne, for all countries included from Turkey, and for Me message conveys the order to the consequence will accept that principle, in order to " lift the yoke of British imperialism from Egypt." In taking the former Sultan to Malta Huff Rey Bey told the N. Y. Herald correspondent this afternoon in behalf of the delegation England has made the worst stroke yet, and will stir up the whole Moslem world, "The Caliph belongs to the most powerful Moslem nation which is Turkey, and this will be rightly recognized by every Moslem people," he said, "England is now crowning her political mistakes by mixing into the religious question. She will have to protect the ex-Sultan in Egypt with troops." The Egyptian is only one of the many delegations here seeking independence for their countries, including Palestine and Syria. The Palestine delegation is made up of Arabs and Christians. All these delegations are conferring daily with the Faras, who have committed themselves to the independence of the countries they represent. If their claims are not granted here a conference will be held in the near future to decide upon common action. A significant feature is that all these people are following in everything the leadership of the Turks, who seem to be the most powerful force against the nations of Europe. Remarkable Preparation Makes It Grow Long, Soft, Silky, Longevity Valletta, Nov. 25. —(IIy Courter to Syracuse, Sicily.) —Hidden in a heavily guarded house that lies in a highwall garden outside of Valletta is a broken solitary old man—trombling in constant terror of assassination—who today is causing more anxiety to the chief of the British Foreign and oclon tal Offices in Whitthall than any other person in the world. He is former Sultan Mohammed VI, ruler of the Ottoman Empire and religious leader of the Moslem world, who a week ago begged the battle cruiser Malaya to take him away. He took refuge on this tiny, rocky scrap of island fortress, lost in the middle of the Mediterranean between Sicily and L'France. The former Sultan and a few faithful members of his retinue, who accompanied him on his flight, believed his death had been decreed. The Compagnie de Compagnie in the Orient to the detriment of the Musculum interests. Despite the fact that he is a refuge here Mohammed VI, has neither abdicated the Sultanate nor surrendered his right as Caliph. There are historic precedents where in two rivals for spiritual power have ruled simultanously in the world. Therefore, while he asserts his position as Caliph, the British Government—the greatest, Mohammedan power in the world—faces a grave responsibility in the protection of the Islam leader. Should Mohammed VI, he assists shated while under British protection there are most grave potentialities in Moslem India and throughout the Moslem world. The terrified former Sultan's desire for protection is quite equaled by the British determination to project him at any cost. Utmost secrecy has surrounded the former Sultan's every movement since he fled from his palace under British control by the Malay arrived Vakhta Haqi. Vakhta Haqi, the former Sultan of first forced to land, asking "Is Malta safe for me?" Later in the day he was spirited ashore in a closed launch. Only a small group of British officials received him, as the landing hour had been kept secret. Preceded by a motor car and police guard he was pushed in a closed limon sine to the artillery officers' mess at Fort Tigreyn, which has been allotted to his use. Here again a group of officers had waited before the door to receive him, but, witnesses declare, the former Sultan with a hurried salute dashed into the open door of the mess, apparently anxious to get under cover as soon as possible. Since then he has not left the building. Keping himself strictly incommunicado, refusing to see any visitors and even excluding Malta representatives of the allied Governments, he is closely guarded by thirty-four British policemen, together with a sprinkling of plain clothes men and British troops. Through fear of poisoning, all food piled from the army centeen is prepared by chosen person, who would accomplish him on the flight. It is stated here that the former Sultan s dreed of an attempt at assassination is so great he has insisted that the British board up the skylight on the dining room where he eats his solitary meals. Particular interest; is attached to a mysterious black satchel which an addie de camp carefully carried when the former Sultan landed. The satchel is said to contain a goodly share of the Turkish crown jewels, which are reputed to be among the most valuable collection of gems in the world. If the jewels are in his possession, however, the former Sultan is not wearing them. The royal party fled from Constantinople practically without baggage, but local shopkeepers, who had hoped to reap a rich harvest by supplying his needs, have been greatly depressed when members of the party at Fort Tigney have ventured forth on shopping trips and requested "something good but cheap—nothing expensive." Undaunted by guards or passes, an American business man is on the forerer Sultan's trail. Joseph Mamo, a naturalized Maltese American formerly a resident of Chicago at North Avenue and State street and also of Bakersfield, Cal., says he is going to see the former Sultan if any one does. Mr. Mamo is the sole distributor for the Mediterranean of an American motor, and vows the former Sultan's first official act in Malta will be to purchase an American automobile. tiful It now ant changes see the band into brittle this marvel- This young lady gives all the credit for her beautiful hair and complexion to EXELENTO preparation THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND.

Colored people are all right, although some people seem to think that they are all wrong. Wrong-doers cannot always triumph. They will get what is coming to them after a while. Some people by baseless charges endeavor to destroy in a few weeks a reputation built up during forty years It is good to trust in God. If some of us did not take that course our minds would become unbalanced. Senator Newberry is no longer an issue in this country. His resignation seems to have silenced critics in all parts of the country. They are after Attorney-General Henry M. Daugherty. The object of the attack is not so much to impeach him as it is to force him out of the cabinet: We must live right and do right in this world and all will be well in the long run, despite the persecutions to which we may be subjected in the interim. President Warren G. Harding is usually in a good humor, but he has been sorely tried recently by his enemies inside and outside of the Republican Party. Good white people will stand by you even during the moments of adversity, if they believe you are in the right and they believe that the people, who are attacking you are in the wrong. The political dodge to send the Liberian Loan Bill back to committee by charging that five colored men were to receive money to promote its passage deceived no one but the one, who wanted to be deceived. True friends will stick by you during moments of adversity, while insincere ones will sneak off, when they are most wanted in an emergency. There is nothing like trouble to give you an insight as to those, who really trust in you. The conference at Lausanne, Switzerland, seems to be no nearer a solution of the many problems than it was when it first convened. The Turks seem to hold the upper hand and they do not appear to be at all uneasy. When a bill for the relief of Liberia with the endorsation of both a Democratic and a Republican administration and the approval of a committee of the United States Senate cannot pass that body conditions in Washington are in a bad way. What are you going to do about it? The Irish problem is settled so far as Irish diplomacy can settle it. When they proceeded to pursue the British policy of executions, they got the confidence so long desired and King Edward commissioned the new government to go ahead with its program. To be found with a revolver or a rifle or firearms of any kind in Ireland now means death to the owner. The colored Missourians sent Mr. Georges Clemenceau a large bouquet of American Beauty roses with a letter expressive of their appreciation of his kind words spoken in bobtail of Negro troops. He was deeply touched by this token. The idea was excellent and the execution of it was beyond praise. Having lived an honest upright life, with the respect and esteem of our white and colored neighbors, these are indeed trying times through which we are now passing. But God is not dead and Right will be triumphant before the end comes. Those who have tendered words of consolation and financial help have our thanks. We shall press onward to the end. A group of United States Senators and Representatives have launched a movement for a change of the Constitution of the United States. The propositions seem to be dangerous and of an experimental nature. They want the Congress to count the votes for President and Vice-President. They want two sessions of the Congress per year instead of one session. President Harding has announced his opposition to the proposed changes. Battling Siki, the Senegambian African is having practically the same trouble in France that Jack Johnson and his like experienced in this country. He awakened latent prejudices when he beat Georges Carpentier, the French Light heavy-weight champion. They are trying to rob him of his title, but until he is beaten by Carpentier or some one else, he will hold his rank among the fair-minded people of the world. Prize-fighting is said to be brutalizing and some people cannot avoid showing bad traits when they patronize the ring too long. REPUBLICAN IMPOTENCE The Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill was laid aside by the Republican steering committee of the United States Senate on account of the open, united opposition of the Democratic Minority with the sympathy of the Republicans, who did not favor the measure. The result was just what was prophesied many months ago. The Republican majority in the Senate is impotent and unable to unify fully fulfill party pledges. This is due primarily to the policy of the administration in backing any democratic opposition in the several States which bears the name of Republicanism. It is not cohesive and cannot be utilized in an emergency and will ultimately result in the disintegration of the Republican Party itself, President Harding does not seem to understand that if he cannot secure favorable action upon the Liberian Loan and the confirmation of Walter L. Cobe not New Orleans he cannot secure the passage of the Ship Subsidy Bill or up on any other measure vital to the success of the Republican Party of the nation. It is essentially necessary to secure the approval of the Democratic minority in order for the Republican majority to secure any enactment of any of its measures. The only proper course is to make an issue upon one bill and "fight it out on that line if it takes all Winter." A WORD ABOUT COMMUNISM. The New York Herald is publishing a series of articles about the activities of the Communists, who are said to be planning the over-throw of this Government and they assert that proselytizing work is being done among Negroes in this country. They take the matter seriously from the fact that less than half-dozen colored people are in the movement. We are of the opinion that the Communist movement has been promoted by Government agents, who by their high-handed methods have caused resentment on the part of thousands of people, who otherwise would have been law-abiding. Nothing breeds Communism and Anarchy like ill-treatment, the taking away by "strong-arm methods" fundamental rights and privileges. The war conditions emphasized this state of affairs. Innocent people, who meant no wrong were incarcerated in jails and penitentiaries and "freedom of speech" became a joke and the use of it a penitentiary offense. Honest people and felons were herded together and the threat of imprisonment became a menace from one section of this country to the other. The best way to meet Communism and Anarchy is to organize against it and to conduct an educational campaign in the interest of the Constitution and Laws of these United States. We cannot win by rough-rider tactics. We will only succeed in building up a "spy system" in this country, closely THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA akin to the one that existed in Russia during the days of the Tsar. Colored people are law-abiding and at no time, despite ill treatment have they failed to support the Government and honor the flag of the nation. Judging people because they do not favor our form of government is dangerous. If they do not like it, they do not have to live under it. They have the right to take peaceable and lawful means to change it. When they resort to unlawful methods, then it is time enough to make them feel the full and drastic effect of the law. A REMARKABLE FIGHT. No organization in this country has ever made a more skillful or a better managed campaign for the placing upon the statute books of this country the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill than did the officials of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. If it is not a law, it is not from any lack of effort on the Association's part. The South saw or thought it saw in it an exercise of federal power which would be dangerous to State's rights and these same people passed the National Prohibition Act, which is more drastic in its disregard of State's Rights than the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill could ever be. How a person could support the one and attack the other is one of the mysteries of this age. Both are great mortal issues. One relates to property and the other to life. Human life is paramount in a Government and the first duty of all civilized Governments is the protection of human life. It is evident that the standard of this Government is being constantly lowered and fundamental rights disregarded. This is an age of hypocrisy and hypocrites. EAST AFRICAN NATIVES GET BEST OF BOSS, Cover With Hat Glass Eye He Leaves to Watch Them. Berlin, Nov. 30.—East African super station and ingenuity are amusingly illustrated by Dr. E. Nigmann in his memoirs of the days when he was in charge of German colonial administration in that part of the world. One of his most reliable aids, he says, a native lieutenant-colonel who had lost an eye in one of the local expeditions and wore a glass one in its place. This officer was assigned to superintend the erection of a post office in a rural district. The inhabitants had long been delinquent in tax payments and consequently each male adult was required to meet his civic obligations by putting in a week's labor on the new Government building One day while the native laborers were industriously at work under his vigilant watch the lieutenant colonel was temporarily called away. On leaving the building he took out the glass eye, placed it on one of the wails, and announced to the workers: "Look here my men. I must go now, but I am leaving my eye to keep tab on you to see that you keep working while I am away." It was with considerable self-satisfaction that he returned to find his gang hard at work. Next day the lieutenant-colonel had another summons to leave his post. Again he placed the glass eye in charge and left. Returning, he noticed from afar that building operations were at a standstill and all of his dusky help snoring peacefully. Upon looking for his "foreman" eye he found it carefully covered with an old hat. MARCUS GARVEY COMING TO PITTSBURGH. Pittsburgh, Pa., Dec. 5.—The movements and activities of no other race man is more closely watched than those of Marcus Garvey, Provisional President of Africa and president general of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Mr. Garvey is scheduled to attend the three-day conference of the U. N. I. A., in this city on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. It is reported that when local officers of the U. N. I. A., sought to have the Mayor of Pittsburgh welcome the convention and Mr. Garvey to the city considerable comment was made in this connection, as it is generally known that Mayor Mugee is not altogether sympathy with Mr. Garvey's movement and the public announcement by the U. N. I. A. officials greatly incensed the Mayor as they used his name in connection with the coming of the convention without his permission. According to reports representatives of the Mayor of Pittsburgh have indicated that they will advise Mayor Magee not to have anything to do with the Garvey convention as Mr. Garvey is under indictment in New York State on charges of misusing funds entrusted to him by millions of Negroes throughout the country and for that reason they are sure Mayor Magee will not recognize the convention. It is said that the U. N. I. A., has over 2,500 members in the Pittsburgh district and elaborate plans have been made for a grand convention. Mr. Garvey will make several addresses during his stay in this city explaining the purpose and intent of his organization. Many of the leading Negroes of Pittsburgh are opposed to the Garvey movement because Mr. Garvey and his organizers are not Americans, but West Indians who are stirring up unrest among Negroes in the United States. These persons express a serious doubt as to Mr. Garvey's sincerity in the program he outlines and point to the our landish misuse of funds and general business mismanagement as grounds for their doubts. However, the more ignorant and working classes in this section have rallied to the Garvey movement and are supporting it whole heartedly.

DEMOCRATS FIGHT THE (Continued from First Page) matter whether a measure is desirable or is not once before the Senate there is no moral excuse for preventing its discussion and its submission to a roll call. And if there is no moral excuse there should be no legal one. The rules of the Senate are altogether too weak. They ought to be amended so as to render impossible strangulation of the larger number by the smaller. "If this sort of thing is allowed to continue, it will be possible for any 'bloc' or combination to hold up the Senate for any length of time and thus defeat by bulldozing and virtual force any bill that could not be defeated in any other way."

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. --- The 33rd anniversary exercises closed 8 P. M. at the 4th Baptist church. The sermon by Rev. K. D. Turner went right to the soul. Subject: The Enduring Builder. The choir of the church sang in the spirit and added much to the meeting.

SOCIETY OF FRIENDS (Continued from First Page) rector of William and Mary College, spoke on "How to Promote Inter-racial Understanding and Cooperation." Doctor Dillard emphasized the following points: (1) The Federal Government ought to help Negro education through State organizations. (2) The advance which has been made in the problem of handling race relationships is a mixture of good and bad. (3) In 1912 1913 the Jeanes teachers who go about helping to improve the public schools, received from public ta funds $3.402. In 1921-1922 the Jeanes teachers received from public tax funds $114.521. In 1912 four county training schools were established. The counties all to gether gave for these county training schools (there were three that finally ran through the year) $3344. In 1921-1922 156 county training schools received from public tax funds $657.911. Doctor Dillard pointed out that "the great body of Southern people hate lynching and want it blotted out." He said that there are hoodlums everywhere, North and South. He stated that "education; religion and public sentiment are extremely important factors in the adjustment of race problems." He expressed his admiration JOHN MITCHELL. JR. for educated, refined, cultivated colored men and women who live in good houses and have good surroundings but who are rudely handled by public service men. "Those educated colored people show great temperance without servility and are indeed Christians who exert unusual self-control. In Jesus Christ is right, then the Negroes have taken the right line in being tem perate and patient. I repeatedly say to colored people, 'Don't quit being Christians.' NEGRO EDUCATION IN DELAWARE Dr. Joseph H. Odell, director of Service Citizens of Delaware, in his address on "Equal Educational Opportunities for Negroes" said: "Pierre S. Du Pont and I visited Negro schools in Delaware week after week in 1919. We found the Negro schools in deplorable condition. A photograph was made of every Negro school and every Negro school was carefully measured. We so captured a complete picture of the Delaware school system for Negroes. We found that not a single Negro school house was worth saying. The Negro schoolhouses were unsanitary, foul, and inadequate. During the past eighteen months Delaware has built fifty-one Negro schools with ninety-three rooms. There has already been completed $706,000 worth of Negro schools Under contract now there are Negro schools which will cost $215,000 in adition. There are still nine Negro schools to be built." Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, declared that men and women are looking to Delaware as a model State in careful education al planning. Doctor Gregg stated that the problem of raising the level of education is that of working hardest where the problems are worst. He pointed out that Negro education must be undertaken for the interest of both white and colored people. NEGRO EDUCATION IN PENNSYLVANIA Dr. Thomas E.

He discussed the conflict of two important ideas—democracy and slavery. He stated that the Negro problem has always been treated in the spirit of compromise. "The principle of charity has been eliminated from State public-school systems," he said. "There are now constitutional provisions for the securing of educational facilities for the free public-school education of all citizens. We should open to colored people the door of opportunity through the public schools. The Nation faces the obligation of affording Negroes educational facilities. Each state has a similar obligation for the education of Negroes within its borders." GETS $50 FOR DISCRIMINATION IN N. Y. SWIMMING POOL. A colored citizen of New York, James Pilcher, who was excluded from the Madison Square Garden Swimming Pool, took the case to law, upon the advice of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, with the result that the Swimming Pool settled the case out of court and paid $50.00. The case was undertaken under the Civil Rights law of New York State. Mr. Pilcher consulted his attorney in August of this year. On November 22, a check for $50 was in his attorney's hands. The exclusion at the Madison Square Garden Pool was upon the protest that Mr. Pilcher was not a member of "the club" and could therefore not use the swimming pool. However, Mr. Pilcher was accompanied by a white friend who gained access to the pool upon payment of the admission fee, without being a member of "the club."

(Preston News Service) New York City,, Nov. 29.—The third meeting of the officials and state directors of the Anti-Lynching Crusaders organization was held here last week. It was reported that there were over 700 key women in 25 states hard at work in an effort to enlist the al-ld, support and influence of both white and Negro citizens to suppress lynching in America. It is said this movement owes its origin to Mrs. Helen Curtis, of New York City. That she was inspired by a public statement of Congressman Dyer at the N. A. A. C. P. convention in June at Newark, N. J. The committee made it plain that the purpose was a specific one and is organized to raise money for a specific purpose and then disband in January 1923. The purpose and object of the Anti-Lynching Crusaders is to stop lynching and mob violence. The one clear and practical program so far outlined for the accomplishment of this purpose is that of the Nat. Association for the Advancement of Colored People, namely to pass the Dyer bill and enforce it. The Crusaders have determined to raise one million dollars and turn it over to the anti-Lynching fund of the N. A. A. C. P. in trust to be used to pass and enforce the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill and to put down mob violence. Some people have doubted if a million dollars is necessary. It is, and the Crusaders have asked the executive office of the N. A. A. C. P. to outline roughly how the money could be effectively and economically expended. The statement follows: An anti-lynching program demands: —Publicity, Pressure upon congress, pressure upon state legislatures, inves tigation, and legal processes. The Negro has never given his cause proper publicity. It is proposed, if sufficient fun is obtained, to conduct a newsworthy campaign of publicity patterned after the Red Cross and Child Welfare campaigns. A campaign where full page statements of the facts concerning lynching shall appear in every influential daily paper throughout the country until the gen eral public is informed of the fact that this country is cursed with lynching. Such a publicity campaign could be started with $10,000 and would, to be complete cost one million dollars. Pressure upon congress. The country must be aroused by letters., telegrams, and articles to pour in upon the senate and stream for immediate action. Such a campaign throughout the United States cannot be completely inaugurated for less than $25,000. Pressure upon state legislatures; efforts to strengthen state laws must noting.

If the Dyer Bill is passed the campaign against lynching, mob violence, and legal defense has just begun and the race must be ready for two things: Investigation of every case of lynching and mob violence which occurs. These investigations must be far more thorough than in the past for on them we must be able to build court cases with facts and witnesses. This will mean the use of detective agencies local investigators, documentary research, etc. This takes money. Legal processes: Finally there are the actual law cases. The Federal Gov entment will probably attend to the actual prosecutions but the race must stand ready to help in the preparation of the cases, the gathering of witness es and the stimulation of the interest of the public mind. So money will be needed in this event. The Crusaders pledge that every cent of every dollar contributed to the anti lynching fund is to be held in trust by the Guaranty Trust Company of New York City to be turned over as directed whenever need arises. The members of the publicity committee are: Mrs. Grace Nall Johnson; Mrs. Alice Dunbar Nelson; Mrs. Lillian Alexander and Mrs. Mary B. Talbert. --- FEDERAL JUDGE SCORES KLAN. Charleston, W.

WHITE WOMEN PLEDGE RACIAL GOOD WILL North Carolina Group Joins Southern Movement for Christian Race Relations. STRONG STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLES. Special Emphasis on Protection of Women, Children and Home-Mob Violence Condemned. Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 22.--Another important step in the South-wide movement for better race relations was taken when eighteen representative North Carolina women met in Raleigh, on December 12 accepted membership in the State Committee on Race Relations and gave out a vigorous declaration of their principles and purpose. The personnel of the group was most notable, including outstanding leaders of the State Federation of Clubs, the State Welfare Board, and the big church organizations. It is doubtful if there could be found in the State another group of equal number having as wide connections and able to wield as great an influence. After a day given to earnest study of the interracial situation, the group drafted and gave to the public the following statement: "We are conscious of a world condition of restlessness in which race friction plays a conspicuous part. We cannot ignore the fact that this presents a problem which the South is so acutely involved that we are conscious that the eyes of the world are upon us, questioning our course. We cannot shirk the responsibility of taking up the chalenge, grasping the opportunity presented, seeking a solution of this problem and demonstrating it on our south ern soil. We believe that unrest existing between two different races dwelling side by side under the same economic system and the same government can be lessened, and eventually dispelled by a course of justice and fair play. When one race exceeds the other in numbers, in possessions and in opportunity, there is but one solution. As a Christian people we hold the elements of that solution. It lies in the cultivation of an attitude of fairness, of good will and a conscious determination to establish an understanding sympathy. We believe that every human being should be treated not as a means to another's ends, but as a person whose aspirations toward self-realization must be recognized; that we must cheer racial integrity and racial self-respect, as well as such mutual respect as will lead each to higher moral levels to mutual trust and mutual helpful- nuss. We believe that in this process certain values must be developed and maintained. No family and no race rises higher than its womanhood. Hence, the intelgence of women must be cultivated and the purity and dignity of womanhood must be protected by the maintenance of a single standard of morals for both races. The right of childhood to health and safety, to the training of body and mind in right habits and the soul in right 'purposes, is unchallenged. The childhood of every race must be safeguarded for 'races move forward on the feet of little children." As a foundation for social security for all races the family ideal must be made possible by economic justice, by religious sanction, by legal safeguards and a single standard of morals. We believe that violence has no place where people lend their support in every possible way to the agencies constituted by the people for the apprehension, trial and punishment of offenders against society. We resent the assortment that criminality can be controlled by lawless outbreaks, and woman's honor protected by savage acts of revenge. We believe it our highest duty to pursue these methods toward harmonious racial adjustment. We believe that bitterness, resentment and strife will yield to mutua- trust only as we steadfastly cultivate in both races these attitudes and this faith in our common humanity. To these ends we pledge ourselves. Similar organizations of women have been effected during the last year in Georgia, Alabam, South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee and Texas. This enlistment of the women is generally regarded as one of the most significant phases of the good will work that is being done throughout the South by the Commission on Interracial Cooperation, which came into existence in 1919 and now has branches in every Southern State and in 800 counties. --- LOUISIANA DEMOCRAT OPPOSES (Pregton News Service) Washington D. C., Nov. 30.—A determined fight on the confirmation of the nomination of W. L. Cohen as controller of customs at New Orleans will be made in the senate, it was announced by Senator Ransdell last Thursday afternoon, a democrat from Louisiana. This announcement was made just after Senator Ransdell left the White House where he had a conference with President Harding. The senator said, however, that the subject of Cohen's appointment, made by the President, had not been discussed by him and the President. "I will see to it that the confirmation is held up when it comes before the Senate," he said. PITTSHURG LODGE MAN PRAISES AMERCIAN WOODMEN, Pittsburgh, Pa., Nov. 24—I am sorry that the American Woodman was not founded right after the close of the Civil War," declared Anthony B. Rice, a prominent fraternalist, in commenting on the wonderful things the American Woodman organization is doing for the advancement of the race. Continuing Mr. Rice said, "I belong to every fraternal order under the sun except the American Woodman and would join them if I was not over the age limit. In the last iss. of their official organ, the Banner, I read about their Building and Loan Department. I wish a copy of that publication could be placed in the hands of every Negro man and woman in this country who is under fifty years of age. That article contains food for serious thought for my people and for members of other organizations which have been in existence for lo these many years. "It appears to me that our only stock in trade has been a monopoly on fine feathers, pomp and display. But nothing concrete or tangible towards building up anything of benefit as far as business is concerned. "In a recent issue of the Journal I noticed that the G. U. of O. F., claimed a membership of about 700,000; quite a goodly number, eh! Coming in existence about the year 1847, of national importance to the race, what can they point to as far. I mean as to the initiative of some national plan whereby that army as a group could be benefitted through business opportunities of any kind—ho wmany houses could they have purchased; how many places of business could we have had how many of our own could have been employed? If we only had a tax of 25 cents per head—just figure what that sum would mean in a few years, if we meant business. But no, our thoughts have been in other channels, not business. Your head of other organizations had better wake up and do something which will meet the hearty co-operation of all its members. "The advancement of the race in this country depends upon material advancement and not on ostentation, pomp, and glamour. I regret that I did not know of the American Woodmen long ago. But during the rest of my life I shall strive to spread the news of this wonderful organization and endeavor to encourage young men and women of my race to affiliate with it."

Defeats Union by Score of 8 to 6. (By H. A. Cornish.) Hampton, Va., Dec. — In her closest contest of the season, Hampton Institute defended the much-reputed Virginia Union University football team on Thanksgiving Day by a score of 8 to 6, and thus became the undisputed champions of the Colored Inter-collegiate Athletic Association of the Middle Atlantic States. Twenty-five hundred people from Hampton and neighboring cities were present to cheer their respective teams on to victory. GUNN DROP KICKS Promptly at 2:30 Union kicked off to Hampton. The pigskin got as far as Hampton's 30 yard line. On the first two plays Hampton made 5 yards. Jacobs then called upon Gunn, who sent the bill down to Union's 21 yard line. Union was not able to gain ground to any extent and punted to her 42 yard mark. Hampton fumbled on her first play, but Dame Fortune snapped on her and she recovered the oval. The Instil the boys were out to win. Points must be made. Jacobs called a new signal. Gunn dropped back and scored Hampton's first three points with a field goal from the 35 yard line. Union received the ball on her 20 yard line and punted out of danger to Hampton's 45 yard line. Hampton fumbled on her next play. This time orteue was not so kind and Union covered the leather on Hampton's 40 yard line. After attempting a line plunge and an end run, Union kicked behind the goal. Hampton received the ball on her 20 yard line and punted to Union's 40 yard line. Jackson, the speedy quarter for Union was on his toes on the next play. He hit the "Sea scisers" barrier and gained 19 yards. The Institute wall stiffened and held Union for downs. Gunn punted out of danger to Union's 49 yard line. A fumble by the Richmond boys and the "Sea sides" covered it on the 50 yard line. Hardwick and Cardozo began to hit the union line. A fumble by Hampton and McDonald covered it for Union. The on or backs tried the Hampton line on two occasions but did not gain. An incomplete forward pass ended the quarter. UNION MAKES TOUCHDOWN Jackson punted on his fourth down to Hampton's 90 yard line. With his back to the wall; Gunn sent the pigskin to the visitors' 49 yard line. Union tried her lightning end runs and famous triple passes, but they were broken up by Hampton's tackles. After an incomplete pass Jackson was forced to kick. Cardozo received the punt on his 20 yard line. Gunn returned the punt to the 50 yard line. Hero things began to pick up. Through repeated line plunges and a forward pass from Jackson to W. A. Smith, which notted 30 yards, Union put the pigskin on the "Seasiders" 10 yard line. It looked as though the Hampton line would stiffen and hold Union for downs, but after two more plays, which netted 7 yards, Jackson put the ball over on the fourth down for Union's lone score. An attempt for the extra point by the air route failed. HAMPTON SCORES TWICE Capt. "Red" Dahney, Hampton's All American center, kicked off to Union's 27 yard line. Union advanced the ball to her 37 yard line. A penalty of 15 yards was imposed on Union. Jackson covered a bad pass behind his goal line, where he was downed by A. Jaffin, Hampton's fast end. The result was a safety, which netted two points for Hampton. In the mix-up Jackson's nose was injured and he was forced to leave the field. Union took possession of the pigskin on her 30 yard line. After Hucles had been thrown for a loss of 9 yards, he punted to the 50 yard mark. Hardwick after making a 7 yard gain, fumebel, and Union recovered on her 43 yard line. On another bad pass Hucles was thrown for a loss of 30 yards. Union then punted to Hampton, who worked the ball up to her 20 yard line. With only two seconds to play, Gunn dropped back and from a difficult angle sent the ball skimming over the crossbar, netting the three points which won the game for Hampton. The first half ended—Hampton 8; Union 6. A SERIES OF THRILLS The second half furnished thrills galore. More than once were the nerves of the spectators at the highest pitch. Union worked the ball to Hampton's 20 yard line. An attempted forward pass to her 1 yard line failed. At another time Union was within striking distance. On the 16 yard line Jack son who had returned to the game, attempted to drop kick. His failure saved the day for the Institute boys. Union did not furnish all the thrills. Several of Hampton's second-string backs were thrust into the fray. Joe Green and Dixon added pop to the team. The "Seasiders" marched straight down the field to Union's 1 yard line. Then a fumble. Union cover ed and punted out of danger. In the last few minutes of play Union again had possession of the pigskin. Long forward passes were being completed. Union was going strong. Jacobs, the quarterback intercepted one of these and ran 15 yards as the whistle blew ending the game. Jackson. Hulcs and Derritt were easily the stars for Union. The entire Hampton team played stellar ball. Too much cannot be said of the all-round work of Capt. Edward L. Dabney, All-American center for three seasons and probable recipient of that honor for the present season. This was Captain Dabney's last game for Hampton, as he has just completed four years' service with the Hampton team. HAMPTON 8-— UNION, 6-— Ruffin, A. L. E. W. A. Smith Ruffin, J. L. T.

Score by periods: Hampton 3 - 5 - 0 - 0 - 0 --- A'S FORFEIT TO SHAW Shaw University came back to Richmond Thanksgiving Day to retrieve its prestige, which had been shattered earlier in the season when Manager Sam Thomas' A's trounced them 6 to 3. The game was played at 1 o'clock and because of the hour and short notice, the crowd was not as large as it should have been, and it is reported that the promoters did not clear expenses. The A's sent in an aggregation of seasoned players that can make any team step some to put the pigskin under their goal. Look 'em over; Ends, Kirk Cogbill and Jasper Robinson; tackles, John Robinson and Marcellus Giles; guards, Walker Brackett and Andrew Jackson; center, Molvin Walker; half backs, Ulysses Payne and Charlie Gordon; full back, William Cotlier; quarter back, Charlie Ammons. The superior condition of the Shaw team, the uncanny headwork and the toe of Coach Hucles, together with an almost perfect working machine told in the long run and the A's had to bow for the first time this year. A more worthy foe can hardly be imagined. The teams fought evenly during the first half, with the advantage on neither side. On the second play in the game Hucles did outwit the A's line by slipping through ahead of his interference and made a run of about 25 yards, but old Battleship Ammons nailed him. The A's tried their light backs, Tupponce, Tyrece Baker and A. Jackson, but they could not pass the Shaw defense. The second half was the best brand of football seen in Richmond. The defense of their goal by the A's in the third quarter should live in song and story. With their last line of defense backed against the posts and Shaw entitled to four, downs to make the line, the A forwards smashed through Shaw's line like catapults and smacked the backs down before they could reach the line. To observers it was apparent that this superhuman defense had weakened the A's and from that time on they could only hold on like grim death while Shaw worked slowly but surely toward their goal line. True, Cogbill came an inch from taking a forward pass out of the air, but he was amply covered. Hucles worked his team to a favorable position and drop-kicked from the 30 yard line. Shaw then set to work for a touchdown, which was earned a few minutes later when Lytle grabbed a pass and went over the line,—at least part of him went over the line and part stayed in the hands of Ammons Lyttle proved himself to be an adept at receiving passes and completed many. Russell Williams was a hard man to stop, oftimes taking four A's to do the job. Mitchell and the other Shaw backs were good. Walker played center for the A's and wrought well, nailing the runner at times just as he started. Ammon's leg injury at the beginning of the game slowed him up a bit, but he was easily a star. At the end of the game the A's forfeited to Shaw because of a decision of the Referee and Shaw was declared winner by 1 to 0. Officials were Mr. Penn, of Petersburg, Referee; Robert Whiting, Hampton, Umpire; Gregory, of Union, Linesman. LIVINGSTONE DEFEATS A. & T (Preston News Service) Salishury, N. C., Nov. 28—The A. and T. football team made a creditable showing in the game here last Saturday, but lost to Livingstone by a score of 12 to 6. After the first quarter the visiting team outplayed the local squad. Livingstone got off to a flying start and made two touchdowns before the A. and T. lads really got their stride. The score stood 12 to nothing in favor of Livingstone at the end of the first quarter. It is claimed that THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA the visitors had not rested sufficiently before the game. In the second quarter the visitors made a touchdown and came very near making two more. In the fourth they made what was thought to be a touchdown, but the referee maintained that it was not a touchdown. In the opinion of men on both sides the decision was unfair and caused considerable ill-feeling. --- SOCCER FOOTBALL IS WESTERN FAVORITE. (Preston News Service) Topoka. Kans., Dec. 1.—Prof. J.

(Preston News Service) Paris, Nov. 28.—Carpentier, although still suffering from injured hands, is anxiously awaiting the time when he can again meet Battlefight Sikl in an effort to regain his European Championship title. Carpentier makes it plain to all fight promoters that he does not want to fight anybody until he has had a chance with Sikl. Sport writers are loud in their denunciation of the federation for the severe punishment handed to Sikl for his apparent unseemly behavior. It is pointed out by many writers that if Sikl lost his head. It was largely due to the unusual and excessive attention paid to him by French people after his victory over Carpentier. GAMBLERS TO BE BARRED FROM NEW YORK FIGHTS. (Preston News Service) New York City., Nov. 23.—Every effort is being made to dignify the many sport in New York state according to recent actions of the state boxing commission.

The names of these persons have been given to the various clubs with instructions that the men are to be barred from attending bouts. The commission, it is said, has a corp of detectives searching fight crowds for men who have been denied the privilege of attending bouts. HOW SIKI BEGAN HIS FIGHTING CAREER. (The Liverpool Echo, Nov. 11, 1922.) Battling Siki is a civilized savage. When he tastes blood in the ring tax civilization disappears into thin air and the natural science of the wild man comes into play writes a Paris correspondent of the "Richmond Plane." (the coloured people's journal, published in Richmond, Va.) Siki's grand-father was a siave, vaptured by Moors in the interior of Senegal, a region almost as dark as the darkest regions of the Congo. His story does not record whether the old man wore a nose ring, but his airiness of at fire is a recorded fact. Escapeing from the Moors he fled to St. Louis, the Senegalese port where he married and where Louis, later to develop into Battling Siki, was born a generation afterward. Louis Fall was born December 16, 1899. From the age of 7 he became a hanger-on at the docks, achieving an early reputation as a battler by licking all the kids of his age within a radius of twenty miles. When he was 8 years old he was beging for pennies thrown by passengers of a French liner making port from Brazil. One of the other boys grabbed a penny Louis thought was his, and Louis swung a straight right and knocked him out. The feat was observed by Freda Stampich, a Berlin dancer, who was so captivated by the boy that she kidnapped him and took him to live with her at her villa at Marsolles. There she sent him to school. In 1911 the dancer decided to return to Germany and demanded a passport for herself and Louis, but it was refused by the French on the ground that Louis was a French subject and could not be adopted by a German So the dancer left 6,000 francs to provide for Louis' needs until he could earn his living, and., departing for MARITIME NOTICE MARITIME NOTICE IS SCHEDULED TO SAIL FROM THE PORT OF SAN PEDRO, LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, ON FEBRUARY 1ST, 1923, FOR Liberia and other West African Ports and SOLICITS BOTH FREIGHT AND PASSENGERS for these points Steamer has a carrying capacity of two thousand (2,000) tons of freight and two hundred (200) passengers. The Steamer will touch West Indian Ports. For further particulars write OSCAR HUDSON, Liberian Consul, 617 Montgomery Street, San Francisco, Cal. Germany passed out of her youthful protege's life. From then on the boy gravitated nat urally to fighting. He became a hang er-on at a Marseilles boxing academy and showed such prowess that he was speedily acclaimed champion for his age and weight on the Siviera. In 1914 when Louis—now calling himself battling Ski—was 15 years old he enlisted in the French army and in a few months arrived at the front There he covered himself with glory and received the Croix de Guerre and the Military Medal. The war over, he recommenced his fighting and rapidly defeated all the champions of the South of France—Stuber, Leonard, Audeny— in quick succession. Seeking new worlds to con quer, he came to Paris, where he celebrated his arrival by knocking out Derensky. His next match was with Maurice Iceleave, whom he beat on points in ten rounds, after which he sent Andre Marchand to sleep in the fifth After that he toured Europe beating Devos, Lygett, Westbroeck, De-Pauss (champion of Belgium.) Breitenstratter and G. Spalla. The day Carpentier was K. O'd by Dempsey at Jersey City. Siki knocked out Pionnier in eight rounds. He then challenged Balzac, whom he sent to the pat in two rounds. His next victory was against Leroy. Light heavy weight champion of Belgium after which he challenged Carpentier. "If he beats Journee and Nilles Carpentier will meet him," stated Des camps, to this demand. So last winter Siki despite a heavy weight disadvantage, beat Journee, in June of this year he won on points against Nilles after fifteen rounds. Siki's simian crouch had by this time become famous and Carpentier agreed to meet him, all authorities concurring that Siki didn't stand a chance. How much of a chance he stood was shown at the sixth round on September 24, when Carpentier once ring idol of France, was carried away to his dressing-room an insensible mass. Sikt's weight when he stepped into the ring against Carpentier was 174 pounds. He says he can make 182. He is 5 feet 11 3-4 inches tall and his development is almost exactly equal to that of Carpentier. ALPHA PHI ALPHA PIONEERS TO HOLD SESSION IN ST. LOUIS (Preston News Service) Washington, D.

(Preston News Service) Pittsburgh, Pa., Dec. 8.—Industrial activity is on the upward trend in the Pittsburgh district for there is a pronounced scarcity of labor. "The demand for labor in plants in this district is almost as great as it was during the war," declared John T. Chark. Executive Secretary of the local branch of the Urban League. "Hardly a day passed by what several calls from plants in this section come to the League asking our assistance to secure steady reliable men with families who care to locate in this city and work in the plants. Employees here are especially anxious to get southern Negro workers with families. They are averse to single men for these men usually prove to be 'flanters'—they will not work steady nor can they be depended upon," he continued. Mr. Clark said that he is in position to place hundreds of married men with families who care to come North and settle down. The Urban League will use its facilities for seeing that families of such men are properly located and settled into their homes here. "I should be glad to hear from steady, reliable married men with families who care to come here to work in Pittsburgh plants. Communications addressed to me at 518 Wylie Avenue will receive prompt attention" he said. STEALS FUNDS OF LODGE; GETS TWO YEARS IN PUN. (Preston Newa Service) Pine Bluff, Ark. Dec. 7—Z. Z.
