This may be our last battle. We believe that it is the beginning of our final triumph. MAY 17, 1923 JOHN MITCHELL, JR THE RICHMOND PLANET VOL. XL. NO. 35 RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JULY 21, 1923 SIGNIFICANT OBSERVATIONS (Preston News Service.) (By John T. Clark, Ph. B.) NEGRO SANHEDRIN. About the best evidence of a group of Negroes getting prepared for All-Race Conference, which we understand is called for November, is the group of Negro leaders of Georgia, who met in Atlanta on July 4th. This statement expressing the aims and determination of the Negroes in Georgia ought to receive unusual praise of Negroes all over the world. We wonder if enough preliminary work will be done by Negroes in all sections of the country to make an all-race congress the success it should be. The Civil Rights groups who have practically sponsored the idea ought to acquaint the public with the progress of their plans from week to week, and outline instructions so that the conference can be truly representative. WHAT DOES LEAGUE FOR INDUSTRIAL DEMOCRACY STAND FOR Dean Pickens in a pointed editorial last week in the Wilmington, (Del.) Advocate turned the spot-light on the summer conference held at Camp Tamiment by the League for Industrial Democracy. We believe that friend Pickens bases his statement that, "the league is what it says it's for" on more than his contact with them around the council table, in the dining room, on the tennis court, at the batbing beach." The fact that he attended this conference 2 days makes us all the more disappointed that instead of informing us about the policies and program of this league, he takes a filing at the kind of democracy practiced by the Church and Y. M. C. A. In briefly giving names of those at the conference, he referred to others present as for lews—"poets, novelists, musicians and artists;" all workers, of course, but the average Negro who is in a position to have his political thought influenced would most likely be impressed by statements of what the league stands for rather than who they are. CATHOLICS URGED TO PRACTICE REAL CHRISTIANITY. An article appearing in "Our Catholic Missions" July issue by Rt. Rev. Manager Burke, shows that the Great Roman Catholic Church, while rather late in recognizing the great field for religious propaganda among Negroes is determined to set a standard of approach to Negroes that white protestant denominations will do well or think over. The following is an excerpt of the article:— "...when we know that many of these Negroes leaving the South for the 'industrial centers and big cities are a Catholies' it is our duty to give them the Catholic hand of fellowship. North is not South. A separate church for them is not the ideal by any means. Such is only a make-shift, lest they be lost.' When a Catholic Priest or Catholic layman meets a Colored Catholic from the South it is his great concern to assure him that he is not an 'undesirable,' but rather a very desirable in what the poor stranger may consider 'white church.'...Our Catholic laity can render good service to the new-comers. Tell them the hours for masses and other services, even accompany them. Do not tell them to Go, but ask them to COME." SPECIAL SERVICES AT HOOD TEMPLE A. M. E. ZION CHURCH Rev. M. F. Gregory, D.

Cor. 3rd and Clay Streets. HEAD OF HARLEM REALTY COMPANY WARNED BY KU KLUX KLAN THAT TROUBLE WILL COME IF HE RENTS PROPERTY TO NEGROES The Ku Klux Klan, or one who wishes to borrow some of the terror of the fiery cross, has written a threatening letter to Harry Bierhoff. President of the Rox Realty Company, warning him against renting an apartment house to Negro tenants. The letter was turned over to the Police Department yesterday and those known as the lead or in the anti-Negro movement of Harlem are being questioned. The letter, typewritten on a plain piece of paper reads: "Realm 7 Chapter 3. Harry Bierhoff, President Rox Realty Company, 343-345 Lenox Avenue, New York City. Dear Sir:— "We have been informed of your intention to rent your house at 46 West 117th street to Negro tenants. This is wholly un-American and is totally against our principles." RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JULY 21, 1923 We ask you in a gentlemanly way to rescind your order or unpleasant things you happen. Make your decision be the right one. (Signed) "K. K. K." GREEDY "K. K. K." Mr. Bierhoff, whose company is one of the largest in Harlem, said that he was not the owner of the property but merely the owner's representative. The owner, following several disagreeable transactions with Negroes, Notice was sent to the tenants on July 1 give ing them thirty days to get other Apartments. "I wish it borne in mind," said Mr. Bierhoff, that this property is not the first Negro house on the street. Personally I have grave doubts that the letter is inspired by the K. K. K., but suspect it comes from one or more of the tenants in the house. "It is time that the klan, if they are the writers of this letter, realize that Americanism is not a matter of color or creed, and that a real American does not hide behind o shroud and work behind a person's back. The true American faces you in a fight. I believe that this letter is but the 120 runner of other warnings which will be sent out by persons wishing to intimidate through masquerading in the mask of the klan." The Secretary of the Rox Company said that Negroes of Harlem, as far as the property owners were concerned, made good tenants and caused less trouble and paid better rents than the whites. It was said that the Negroer were rapidly moving south. (N. Y. Times.) In Memoriam.

Ark. July 20.—With the expiration on July 12 of the 15-day period during which a motion for rehearing of the cases of the six Elaine Negroes whose petition for dismissal of their cases was granted by the Arkansas Supreme Court two weeks ago, attorneys now express the opinion that the Negroes now are free from any further legal difficulties. The freed men's petition set forth that their cases had been passed during two terms of court and the Supreme Court held they should be released, under a state statute which provided for release of defendants when the cases have been passed over two terms of court through no fault of their own. The six men were alleged to have participated in the Elaine insurrection in 1919 in Phillips county. The men have not been in custody since the Supreme Court's ruling freeing them more than two weeks ago. —Mrs. Senora L. Bowe is spending her vacation in Philadelphia, Pa., the guest of her aunt Mrs. Saunders. —Mrs. J. W. Harris, after spending two weeks in New York visiting friends on her return home stopped over in Washington visiting her nephew. She had a fine time. —Miss Inez Cogbill left the city last Tuesday for Ashville, N. C., to spend several days. —Mr. Charley Poole left the city Wednesday night to spend several weeks in Raleigh, N. C. —Mr. Richard Webb arrived in the city Wednesday, the 11th and will spend several days here. He is looking the picture of health and is as jovial as ever. As soon as he and his madam, who was Miss Mary Walthall complete their business "it's good-bye to the sunny south." They will make their permanent home in Cleveland Ohio. WIFE WANTED!

FIVE CENTS THE STRAND THEATER IS NOT SOLD All Questions Postponed Until November. In the Chancery Court of Richmond Va. Friday, July 13th Gen. Joan Stern, Attorney C. M. Chichester, representing the American National Bank renewed the motion for the sale of the Strand Theatre. Attorney James W. Gordon, Attorney John Randolph Tucker, receivers for the Mechanics Savings Bank and Attorney Leith S. Bremner were present. After a spirited discussion, Judge William A. Moncurre decided to issue an order requiring the receivers to pay twenty thousand dollars ($20,000.00) on the total indebtedness of the Mechanics Savings Bank to the American National Bank. This payment reduces the indebtedness to thirty thousand dollars and with some other payments expected to be made on the mortgages will reduce the total indebtedness of the Mechanics Savings Bank to the American National Bank, the only creditor, outside of the depositors to about twenty-six thousand dollars. Other collections expected to be made will further reduce this liability Judge Moncurre notified all parties that the question of the sale of the Strand Theatre would not be taken up again in his court until the November term. This was highly satisfactory to the depositors representative. THE IMPERIAL ORDER OF KING DAVID.

ORGAN DRIVE RESULTS Partial reports in our Organ Drive to date total over $1600. Additional reports carrying the grand total will be later made in this column. This is an exceptionally good showing in view of the fact that recent rally and installation reports reached over $1500.00. The outstanding feature of the entire drive was the contribution of $5.00 from little Miss Octavia Harris—"A little child shall lead them." Again we note the supreme loyalty of our friends, and the sacrificial efforts of faithful members. This is but a demonstration of love for the cause of Christ and an expression of a heart felt desire to approach the ideal in the matter of church appointments for the worship of God. The names of all contributors will be posted on bulletin boards in the vestibule of the church as soon as possible. This Honor Roll adds another chapter to the very splendid history of the church. We deeply appreciate this tangible evidence of good will and sympathy on the part of our friends. We heartily thank each and every person and organization that in any way contributed to the success of the effort. We hope to open the organ to the publia with appropriate exercises on the first Sunday night in August. All are welcome to our services. Rev. R. H. Johnson. B. D. Pastor. W. L. Johnson. Clerk.

IT LOOKS AS THO WILL HAVE HIS NEW YORK CITY, July 19. — Again the "powers that be" in the boxing game, have spoken and according to all indications a Wills-Firpo bout is in the making. Firpo's showing, according to experts of fastiana, has not yet warranted a meeting with Dempsey. The South American, young, pugnacious and aggressive, is being pointed out as a poor defensive fighter, and post mortems on the Willard-Firpo fight, lead one to believe that Willard simply quit. FIRPO SHOULD NOT HAVE CRACK AT TITLE AHEAD OF WILLS. Is Firpo to get a crack at the title ahead of Wills, just because it only took him eight rounds to put away aged, decrepit, big Tim, Jess Willard? The world knew, at least those of them who looked at it fairly, that Willard would never be the same man as the Willard of Toledo fame or misfame. They knew that Willard's days as a fighter were over, and that the attempt to again bring him into the limelight would fall through as soon as he met a fighter of even mediocre experience. The Milk Fund fight in New York, a couple of months ago, when it took him eleven rounds to dispose of Floyd Johnson, an admitted second rater, showed just where he stood. His legs refused, him then, almost, and it was his legs which caused his defeat at the hands of Firpo. FIRPO NO WILD MAN Close survey of the details of the fight showed conclusively that Firpo was not the wild man the writers would have the gullible public believe him to be. He hit Willard again and again, but not until the fatal eighth had his punches worm the aged veteran down to such an extent that he could virtually push him over for the count. Then and not until then, did he show the "feculousness of his fighting" or the "wild nature" which many writers claimed he possessed. And now with it apparent that these two might meet, they say the following: FIRPO—"I am ready to fight Wills any time, any place." WILLS—"Just another stopping stone to Dempsey. I feel that if I dispose of Firpo, then the final barrier will be hurled aside and Dempsey will be forced to meet me." SIKI'S COURT TROUBLES SEEM NEVER TO END (Preston News Service) PARIS, July 18.—Judge Escoffler of the French Civil Tribunal, last week upheld Edmund Lappart's attachment against Battling Sikit's share of the purses for his fights with Morelle and Marcel Nilles. Leppart, one of Sikit's former managers, claims to hold a binding contract entitling him to 30 per cent of Sikit's earnings. The validity of the contract will be decided in court, but the court trial will not come up until some time during next October. And Leppart announced that he would attach every purse Sikit fights for. PICTORIAL REVIEW OF THE CURRENT EVENTS OF THE WORLD THE NEW MODEL WRAP FOR 1924.

(Preston News Service) NEW YORK, July 20.—Harry Wills, brown panther of New Orleans, and the most logical contender for a championship bout with Jack Dempsey, established a camp at East Chester, Mass. and began training with the hope that he is at last to get a crack at the belt. Accompanying Wills on his trip were Mr. and Mrs. James McCoy and Mrs. Harry Wills, pretty and accomplished wife of the challenger. Mrs. Wills has taken more than a passive interest in the welfare of her husband, during his training for all fights and her presence in his camp makes the place bright, cherry and homelike. WILL HAVE TO TRAIN HARD. Wills and his staunch supporters realize that he will have a hard time rounding into condition for such a bout, after his layoff of almost a year. Leo Gates, heavyweight, who recently returned to New York, has been engaged as his sparring partner. Wills' manager feels that he should have at least one fight before meeting Dempsey and has agreed to permit the challenger to box the winner of the Bill Tate-Clem Johnson fight sometime during the month of August. HOUSE CF DAVID NINE TO PLAY CUB$N X GIANTS (Preston News Service) PITTSBURGH, July 20.—One of the greatest baseball attractions to have ever hit the Smoky City is scheduled to take place next Saturday afternoon at Central Park, when the famed House of David baseball club will cross bats with the Cuban X Giants in their first appearance here. The visiting team comes here with a record hard to beat. Wherever they go, it is a rule rather than an exception, that attendance records are broken. And in their lineup, they boast of some of the greatest stars the game has ever known. Were it not for their hirsute adornment, several of these players would be in the big leagues. Included in their lineup is Vaughan, pitcher; Tally, the Babe Ruth of the H. of D. team; Bauske, the clever shortstop. THE BACHARACH GIANTS KNOCKING 'EM GOLD (Preston News Service) ATLANTIC CITY, July 19.—The Bacharach Giants, for a long time, mere set-ups for the real fighting teams in the Eastern League, came to life here last week with a bang when they took three games in a row from the famous Cuban Stars. On Sunday, the Bacharachs took both ends of a double header, defeating the Stars 9-7 in the first game and winning the twilight encounter 5-4.

(Preston News Service) INDIANAPOLIS, July 20.—Jack Johnson, former heavyweight champion of the world, discussed the ring sport with county officials here Friday, while attempting to obtain the release of his automobile, which was attached by the sheriff, when Johnson was appearing here on vaudeville in 1921. During the visit of such a distinguished personage as John Arthur Johnson at the courthouse, considerable attention was attracted and everybody wanted to hear Johnson's opinion about the big fighters. He was constantly questioned by persons who crowded into the sheriff's office about first one fighter and then another. Someone asked Johnson if he thought that there was any fighter today who could whip Dempsey. As quick as a flash Johnson answered. "Certainly." "Who?" he was asked "There are three people in the world who can knock out Jack Dempsey," the former champion asserted. "They are Firpo, Harry Wills and Jack Johnson." SOMETHING ACHIEVED (From the Pittsburgh Courter) "Whatever else may be said of the N. A. A. C. P., unstinted credit belongs to its unruling activity in behalf of those Arkansas farmers, whose lives were about to be snuffed out by the hand of prejudice and Southern "speedy" justice. The Arkansas court, following orders from a higher tribunal, has ordered the release of the men. For this ray of light along our benighted road, let us give thanks to those whose hands and heads directed the rescue of our ill-fated brethren.

We refer to the established practice of giving Negroes a hasty trial to escape the lynchers. The reversal of the court and its hasty action serves notice that there must not only be a trial, but a trial clothed with all the formality, dignity and impartial rulings common to trials in our highest tribunals. "The net benefit will not dawn upon us until in after years. Precedent is a most valuable thing, at times. In future years, when a kindred situation is brought before the courts of the land, the rulings, findings and orders of court in the case of the Arkansas farmers will be referred to with pride and confidence.

A., passed a resolution calling upon Congress to enact a Federal antitrust law. The resolution which was unanimously adopted, is as follows: "Whereas the crime of lynching has become a national shame and a blot upon Christianity: "And whereas the records show that in the past 37 years more than 4000 American citizens have met their deaths at the hands of mobs in America, in spite of State laws against lynching: "Therefore, be it resolved, that we respectfully petition and recommend to the Congress of the United States the enactment of a Federal law against mob violence in every form; "Be it further resolved that a copy of these resolutions be sent to the President of the United States and to the Representatives and Senators from the States of this region." There were 190 delegates at this Conference, 6 States and 9 Countries being represented, among the colleges represented being: University of Colorado, Colorado, School of Mines, Hastings College, University of Nebraska, University of Denver, Haskell Institute and Southwestern University. --- ASSOCIATED PRESS (WHITE) CORRECTS OWN NEWS STORY The Associated Press, one of the greatest white news-distributing agencies in the world, has corrected a story it sent out on the release of six Arkansas farmers whose cases were fought to the Arkansas Supreme Court by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. In the original Associated Press story the Arkansas riots of 1919 were attributed to a Negro "insurrection" and it was charged that fighting had been begun by Negroes. In response to vigorous protest from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the Associated Press sent out the following story: "New York, June 28.—Herbert J. Seifgman of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in a statement issued today, pointed out that recent newspaper despatches from Little Rock, Ark., telling of the release of six Negroes implicated in the Elaine rioting in 1919, incorrectly described the cause and nature of the trouble. "Denying the statement made in press despatches that the riot started when persons concealed near a Negro meeting house at Hoop Spur, Ark., fired on a party of white men in a motor car, Mr. Seifgman quoted Justice Holmes of the Supreme Court of the United States as describing the riot's cause thus: "On the night of September 30, 1919, a number of colored men assembled in their church were attacked and fired upon by a body of white men, and in the disturbance that followed, a white man was killed." "Justice Holmes' statement was made in the court's opinion handed down February 19, 1923, ordering the Federal District Court to reconsider the case. "Allegations contained, in press despatches that the Negroes had been persuaded by an agitator, posing as a government agent, to arm and drill in preparation for the day when they should take over control of affairs in that section, also were denied by Mr. Seligman. He declared testimony of T. K. Jones and H. F. Smiddy before the Arkansas courts showed that the Negroes were not armed" Subscribe to The Richmond Planet ```markdown ``` 11 THE MILITARY MARRIAGE OF THE GERMANS IN THE WORLD (Wide World Photos) TURNED BACK AT THE GATE.

I feel that your organization is entitled to credit for the saving of these people's lives.

Our primary object and desire is to reimburse any of our people who have invested in any enterprise fostered by us We solemnly swear now, as we swore upon the witness stand, that not one dollar of our forty-five years' accumulation has been the result of dishonorable actions or sharp practices. We insist that the money alleged to be missing cannot be traced to us either directly or indirectly and that of all the people involved we are the greatest sufferer, even as our honesty has been our greatest asset. The money belonging to us and to the organizations with which we are affiliated was taken by others or was accredited to other accounts, so that when checks were drawn upon the account there was no money to meet them. There was no other course for us to pursue, other than to assume complete responsibility Our ledger sheets at the Bank had been stolen, removed in order to cover up these peculations and to make us the victim. We had not transferred our property. It was all in our own name and while the liability chargeable to us from this source was approximately ($64,000) Sixty-four Thousand Dollars, we surrendered assets (real estate) which conservatively handled, will bring over ($100,000) One Hundred Thousand Dollars, which is ($36,000) Thirty six Thousand Dollars more than the alleged liability. We have never had charge of a record in the Mechanics Savings Bank in twenty years' service. We could not have made a false entry upon the books of that concern. We had no reason so to do when we had surrendered property with a gross rental of ($11,000) Eleven Thousand Dollars. We have defended colored people, secured their release from jails, penitentiaries and stopped executions upon the gallows. We are now called upon to defend ourselves. Certain it is, that the people whom we have defended will stand by us. As for the better class of Southerners, their testimony in our behalf is an outstanding feature of this crucial period of our existence. We are trusting in God.

The action of the Federal officials in New York in the case of Marcus Garvey is mystifying, to say the least. It is in line though with practices in evidence during the period of the world war when men of Communistic and Soviet tendencies were arrested, herded in the prisons of the country and denied any communication whatever with the outside world. The guarantees of the Constitution were ignored if not for gotten. In fact in their blind prejudices, these officials regarded these people as being outside of the protection of that instrument. They could not see that the proper course was to meet these revolutionary forces with argument as long as these revolutionary forces used argument and then with severer punishment when they resorted to an appeal to violent tactics. But they extended these repressive measures to mill-mannered men and made the pledges guaranteed to the residents of a Republic look like a mockery. Now comes this foreigner, Marcus Garvey, convinced of the tentative charge of using the mails to defraud, based upon a letter sent to one of the citizens of this country relative to the sale of stock in the Black Star Line Corporation. Garvey was endeavoring to deal in maritime enterprises, when he had no experience along this line and as a result losing thousands of dollars in air experiment, which according to the evidence submitted was doomed to failure in the hands of the men, who set themselves up as capable of managing the movement. The following telegraphic report is interesting reading: Washington, July 16.—A united protest from many Negroes throughout the country against the recent conviction of Marcus Garvey, head of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, was voiced today in scores of telegrams addressed to the Washington ton office of the Associated Press. Each of the messages reported sentiments said to have been expressed at a Negro mass meeting yesterday. They came from nearly every state and were identic except for the number of persons reported in attendance at each local meeting. "We, loyal Negro citizens of the United States" said each message, "at mass meeting assembled, beg to register with our white citizens through you, our protest against the injustice treat has been done to Marcus Garvey, president of the Universal Negro Improvement Association; his frame-up conviction in New York and denial of bail pending appeal. We sincerely hope that the white press of our great country will turn on the search-light of justice and thereby maintain the honor and glory of our fair institutions of justice." Garvey was found guilty recently in federal court in New York on conspicuous charges growing out of a plan to establish a Negro republic in Africa. Various protests have been made to the White House and department of justice, but the department has an announced that no action will be taken which will interfere with the handling of the case by the district court. But it is the denial of bail to Garvey that is attracting the most attention. He is not guilty of arson treason or murder and the Constitution of the United States specifically provides that excessive bail shall not be required. The logical conclusion then is that no bail at all is worse than excessive bail. It is asserted that if Garvey was bailed, he must leave this country. Granting that his is or would be he case, it would seem to us that if all that is charged against him by his enemies is true, his leaving would be a good riddance. But then is citizens of color in this country are unable to secure their full measure of protection under the Constitution, it may be that Marcus Garvey, who is a British subject is not entitled to any of its protecting provisions. Now comes the outcry against that conservative leader and organizer Dr. R. R. Moton of Virgina and the Ku Klux Klan of Alabama has streged a threatening demonstration against him and the institution, of which he is the official head. There is a general attack upon Negro leadership all along the line. It takes first one shape and form and then another. The Nationa. Association for the Advancement of Colored People has also been the subject of much bitter comment and may not be long before the distinguished Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois will also be a victim of the virulent demonstration. We shall see what we shall see but the outlook is dark and the question that logically arises is what are we going to go about it? THE HEAVYWEIGHTS. Firpo, the heavy-weight fighter from the Argentine Republic succeeded in knocking out the former ex-heavy-champion, Jess Willard recently in the eighth round and it was thought that this would have elevated him in the eyes of the sporting world to the point where he would logically have a chance at Champion Jack Dempsey but his ring generalship was not up to the standard and it is now universally conceded that he should have put Wallard out in the earlier rounds to attract the attention he desired. Willard was regarded as having passed the age limit for a successful fistic combat. They are now suggesting that Firpope meet Harry Wills, the heavy-weight fighter who is now in New York or engage in a fistic combat with Tommy Gibbons, who remained in the ring recently with Jack Dempsey, fifteen rounds, when every one thought that he would have been knocked out in about five rounds and that eight rounds would be his him. Jack Dempsey and his manager are announcing that they are ready to arrange a bout with Harry Wills, but closing the deal for the fight on Labor Day is another matter. Can the colored fighter win in a contest with Jack Dempsey? This is the question. Certain it is is if he agrees to a battle with him. Jack Dempsey will have some underground assurances that he can win in the contest and retain his pugilistic honors. THE TUSKEGEE QUESTION A very peculiar report comes from Washington relative to the Colored Veteran's Hospital at Tuskegee Alabama. It says: Washington, Juiy 18.—Director Hines of the Veterans' Bureau, anounced today that he would have to go ahead with a policy with respect to the Negro hospital near Tuskegee, Ala. soon unless he could reach some middle ground with the committee of white citizens of that town appointed after his recent visit there. He has received a suggeston from the committee, he said, proposing that all physicians and almost all administrative assistants at the hospital be white persons. He rejected this suggestion on the ground, that it would nullify the government's intent and asked the committee to reconsider its proposals. The hospital he said is being run efficiently at present with about 60 per cent of the personnel Negroes, including all nurses and attendants and a large part of the administrative staff with all of the physicians white. The feasibility of putting the hospital entirely in charge of Negroes is surges ed by the President, has been studied by bureau officials, it was said and they have determined that it would be possible to assemble a sufficient number of Negro physicians for ward service. They are not satisfied, however, that an adequate number of Negro doctors could be obtained to tie the posts in the hospital requiring more expert knowledge. This is rather a peculiar statement from Director Hines. Just why he should attempt to reach some mild ground with a body of irresponsible white citizens of Tuskegee Alabama relative to an already announced policy of the Administration which is that of Negro officials for Negro institutions, which policy is in line with a recognized southern principle will always be a mystery to the average citizens irrespective of color. This "milk and water policy" is ruining the government, which seems to be "blowing hot and cold" at the same time. Mixed schools are regarded as being an abom nation in southern localities. Now comes a mixed "faculty" in a veterans' hospital and the Ku Klux Klan has been taken into considerations. This vacillating policy will prove the undoing of the Republican Party in this country unless some far-seeing citizen has the vision and ability to check it. VIRGINIA HEALTH OFFICERS VACCINATE ALL IN COACH (Preston News Service) Richmond, Va., July 19.—Local health authorities stopped a passenger train on the R.F. and P.R. R. at Acca, near this city last Wednesday, and took charge of Frank Summer, who is said to be suffering from small pv. Two health officers boarded the train locked the doors of the coach in which Summer was riding declared a temporary quarantine and proceeded to vaccinate all passengers in the car. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA N. Y. ALDERMEN UNSEAT A COLORED REPUBLICAN. George W. Harris's Place Given to His Democratic Opponent by a Party Vote. HE LOSES FIGHT IN COURT Boasd Grants $100,000 for Experts in City's Fight Against Gas Companies. The Republican minority in the Board of Aldermen was reduced to eleven yesterday when by a strictly party vote of 46 to 7 the board unseated George W. Harris a Negro Republi can member, whose election in 1921, to lowing a recount proceedings lasting a year and a half, was declared void. John W. Smith, also a Negro but a Tammany man was declared elected and took the seat formerly occupied by Harris. With the acquisition of Smith the Democrats now have 54 members. The Committee on Privileges and Elections in its report, which was adopted, contented that Smith had deftened Harris by 46 votes and that Smith should be seated. Before the board had taken action Harris learned ing of the committee's report, had obtained from Supreme Court Justice John Ford early in the day an injunction which would stay the subsequent action but Justice Ford, a few hours later signed an order vacating his own injunction. The Republican minority of which Adderman Jacob W. Friedman is leader voted solidly. It insisted that the unseating of Harris was the result of political steam-rolling tactics and that Harris unquestionably had been chosen by the voters of his district. Fauro court action they insisted would prove their contention. At the meeting Thomas O'Reilly Democratic alderman from the eleventh district, which includes the upper west side was declared to be legally elected thus throwing out the protest of James W. Sullivan a Republican who has been contesting the seat held by his Democratic opponent. (New York, N. Y., July 11.) THE TROUBLE AT RICHMOND The great interest that is being manifested today in Richmond seems to be centered around one person—Mr John Mitchell, Jr. president of The Mechanics Savings Bank. Mr. Mitchell has been condemned by a Richmond Court of making a false entry on the bank's ledger. It is left for the Virginia Supreme Court to give the final decision. Mr. Mitchell states that he never handled the bank's ledger and the entry that was made on the book was unknown to him. Not withstanding, he has put up enough property to cover any deficit that no depositor lose anything. To give a short version of the whole affair, there seems to be a hidden "hand" at work merely to get the "Man." It does not seem to be a question of much money; but the man. It seems to be a case where some one is trying to use the law to persecute, rather than prosecute. The writer has never met this gentle man but only knows him through books and papers. He is known to be a man of very conservative learnings for the uplift of his race. In fact, he could be called "The Pacificator" in harmonizing the differences between the two races. He has done a great deal to keep the colored people in the South, but has always stood for bettering their condition. Firstly, the accusation against him has not been proven. Secondly, we doubt very much if anybody believes that he is guilty—even the judge that passed the sentence. The Richmond Planet of which Mr. Mitchell is editor and owner, is one of the most popular and conservative publications of its kind. The editor himself is one of the ablest men of his race. In conclusion we have this to say. The judge is already done more harm to the Old Dominion state in driving the wedge of hate between two classes of people under the guise of "law" than can be lived down in many years to come. We should be men strong enough, and have the moral courage to desist from using the law to persecute instead of using it to prosecute, even if there are some who are willing to up hold us in those cruelious things.

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

SIX James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People 62 Fifth Avenue. New York City has issued a statement calling the contest over the Tuskegee Hospital for Colored War Veterans a test of the Harding Administration's attitude toward Negroes. The statement is as follows: "Despite the government's promise made by president Harding to staff the Tuskegee Hospital for Colored War Veterans, with colored doctors and nurses, the ku klux klan with the apparent connivance of Colonel Stanley, have already driven away Dr. Kenney a colored physician of high standing who has bad to flee with his family from Tuskegee. This whole situation is one which again tests the Administration's attitude towards colored people, as well as the government's integrity in the face of the ku klux klan mob. The government could settle this whole matter in an hour by taking a firm stand. The ku kluxers around Tuskegee are bluffing and will carry that bluff as far as they can. If President Harding has a backbone the size of a toothpick, he will call that bluff and that will be the end of the present disgraceful situation. "The contentions of the Alabama white people are untrue and absurd. They pretend to fear the menace of a colored personnel in charge of the hospital, whereas the Tuskegee Institute entirely manned and attended by Negroes with several hundred teachers and fifteen hundred students, has never given them, although in their midst, grounds for the slightest apprehension. "Colored people throughout the United States are awaiting to see how the United States government will meet this challenge of the ku klux mobbists." MISSOURI GOVERNOR PAROLES TWO SLAYERS.

WORKERS GIVEN INCREASED WAGE IN YOUNGSTOWN AREA (Freston News service) Youngstown, Ohio July 19.—Sheet and tin workers have been granted a 6 per cent wage increase in the Youngs town district it was announced last week. It is said that owing to greatly increased selling price of the products the employers have agreed to the advance in wages. SHORTAGE OF TRAINED NEGRO MINISTERS IS REVEALED (Preston News Service.) Washington, D. C. July 20—The demand for at least 1,500 educated Negro ministers yearly. In the United States is being supplied by only about 100 Negro men having any sort of ecclesiastical training, with the result that the Negro churches of America face a serious shortage of educated or even trained ministers each year according to statistics compiled at Howard University under the supervision of the Department of the Interior. There are about 50,000 Negro churches in the United States of all denominations. Last year less than 100 Negro men were graduated from any kind of training school for ministers and of this number less than ten were college graduates. The average school training among the others was about one and a half years of grade school work. This shortage of preachers is illustrated by the fact that there is now 1 white minister to every 889 white people in the country. There are a large number of ministerial training schools in the country, but few of the young men, who comprise a college course are inclined to the theological training. Among the Negro schools maintaining high grade theological departments are: Lbacon, Wilberforce, Howard, Virginia Union, Livingstone, Gammon Theological Seminary and others. Just why the college trained young Negro does not enter the ministry is a problem. It is said that the most serious draw-back confronting the Negro in America to day is the lack of training on the part of 75 per cent of its ministers. THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND. VIRGINIA BRISBANE COMMENTS ON THE NEGRO MIGRATION New York City, July 20.—In his daily editorial comment under the caption of "To-Day" Arthur Brisbane has the following to say regarding the coming of the Negroes to the North: "Constant migration of Negroes from the South to the North is a menace to southern agriculture. It may also prove to be an important factor in the 1924 campaign, and others. In the North those colored men will vote, and 90 per cent at least, will vote the Republican ticket. Twenty-five thousand colored voters or fewer, located in the right spot, might decide a close national election." MEXICANS LABORERS BROUGHT TO W. VA. (Preston News Service) Benwood, W. Va.

JUMPS TO DEATH WHEN BLINDED BY LIGHT FLASH Philadelphia, Pa., July 20.—Samuel Simmons a member of a gang of laborers laying new tracks on the Market street elevated, was instantly killed last Friday afternoon when he jumped in front of a speeding ferry bound train. His body was dragged for about 20 feet. Another workman after the whistle which warns the workers of a train's approach had been blown, touched the third rail with a crowbar. An illuminated flash blinded the entire group, causing everyone to jump. Simmons is said, frightened and bewildered by the sudden and intense illumination, jumped the wrong way. Fellow work men shouted to the operators, who gave emergency signal and the train was stopped as quickly as possible. The police took the horribly mangled body to the Misericordia hospital where Simmons was pronounced dead and then removed his body to the morge. # 1 tens the hair gently. harm the hair or scalp. air yourself. ams or greases and use a den. rurgist cannot supply you, and $1.00 for a bottle of aid anywhere in the United WRITE FOR TERMS chemical Company Pittsburgh, Penna.

Veterans’ hospital with Ne Bro personnel rests on a determination cf whether the good faith of the feder. al government is involved throug promises made by the White Commit. tec of the Treasury Department. Ac. cording to Director Hines, for the Present the hospital will be conducted with the present staff of white doctors aul Negro nurses but the process of selecting Negro phys'cians, ready to put them in when a definite policy is decided, will continue. FIND COMMITTEE MADE BIG PROMISES There seems no doubt, sald Hines, that the White Committee made prom: ises when land was donated for the in stitution. that it would be under the control of white pergonnel. “I recognize that possibly the committee exceeded its powers in making such promises, and I, therefore will move cautiously and seek to determine just what was meant. The Tuskegee Institute ta manned entirely by Negro personnel, but has a Board of Trustees compose { 0 16 white men and 4 Negroes, 11 may be that a similar form of control of the hospital was contemplated.

We do well as a race to look at our own door for many of the causes ot our hard lot. We are inclined to give more thought to ‘our rights’ than to onr obligations. There is much unrest and moving around. I admit that con d:tions are far from what they shoald b- but Tam firmly envinced there are more white people working with us, for ua than one thinks.
