MAY 17, 1923 JOHN MITCHELL, JR THE RICHMOND PLANET CHALLENGE DIRECTOR HINES TO KEEP THE HARDING PROMISE OF COLORED PERSONNEL FOR TUSKEGEE VETERAN HOSPITAL STAFF REPORT SAYS VETERAN'S BUREAU COMPROMISED WITH WHITE COMMITTEE FROM ALABAMA ON BLACK AND TAN STAFF. National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Sends Sharp Letter of Protest. VOL. XL, NO. 39 CHALLENGE DIRECTOR FOR HARDING PROMISE OF FOR TUSKEGEE VETERAN REPORT SAYS VETERAN'S WITH WHITE COMMIT ON BLACK AM National Association for the People Sends Shar Upon receipt of the report that Director General Hines of the Veterans' Bureau had "compromised" with a white committee from Alabama, offering to appoint a white doctor as head of Tuskegee Hospital for Colored Veterans, and two white assistants, the remainder of the staff to be colored, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People at once wrote a sharp letter of protest. The letter, which is signed by James Weldon Johnson Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. inquires whether it is the intention of the Veterans' Bureau to fulfill President Harding's promise that the hospital would be manned entirely by a colored staff. The letter reads as follows: August 7, 1923. Hon. Frank T. Hines, Veterans' Bureau, Washington, D. C. My dear General Hines:—In today's New York Tribune appears a dispatch from Montgomery, Ala., dated August 6th purporting to be an account of a meeting held by the citizens of Tuskegee. At this meeting, after hearing the report of State Senator R. H. Powell, Dr. L. W. Johnson and W. W. Kimbail members of the committee which conferred with you in Washington last Friday and Saturday, it is stated that the citizens of Tuskegee accepted a compromise plan for the personnel of the government Negro hospital suggested to this committee by the head of the Veterans' Bureau. The report goes on to state that by the compromise, the chief physician and two others of the hospital staff will be white and the remainder of the medical staff is to be composed of Negroes. "On behalf of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People I am writing to ascertain if this report is correct. We are especially anxious to secure this information, in view of the fact that the late President Harding stated through his secretary in a letter to this Association dated April 28th "It is the plan of the Director of the Veterans' Bureau, with the approval of the President, to man this institution completely with a colored person." "We would like to know what is to be the action of the Veterans' Bureau in view of the definite promise made by Mr. Harding that we may inform those interested in this question whether or not the promise of the late President Harding is to be carried out." DROWNED AT BAYSHORE. A most distressing accident occurred at Bay Shore. Wednesday night, August 8th, when George Johnson, a matri carrier of this city lost his life. It seems that the unfortunate youth went down on the 19 Merrymakers Twilight excursion to Bay Shore and he and a companion rented one of John Hill's lockers together. When Mr. Hill went his rounds, he found clothes in the locker and hastened to the train to see if any one could identify them Johnson's companions identified the clothes and the parents of the youth were notified. The body was recovered the next day, having been badly mutilated by crabs. The remains were brought to Richmond. No one heard him make any outcry and he evidently got beyond his depth or was attacked with cramps. The body was brought to this city. THE FIRST CHRISTIAN CHURCH CALLS PASTOR. Rev. Matthew Hamilton of Norfolk Va., has been notified by T. P. Hurd, Chairman of the Board of Deacons of the First Christian Church of this city located at 735 N. Third street that he has been called to the astorate, J. H Mason is elder. Rev. Hamilton has the call under consideration. If accepted he will take charge on the first Sunday in September. Getting into a well is one thing and getting out of it is another, if you are in time for the Theban picnic to Bay Shore Thursday, August 23rd. REWARD OFFERED FOR CAPTURE OF FLOGGERS Georgia Government Incensed at Series of Whippings in State. Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 11.—The "full power of the executive department will be used" to stop the "series of floggings in Macon, Bibb County, and other outrages in the State." Governor Walker er declared tonight in announcing rewards for the arrest, with evidence to convict, of persons connected with the recent whippings in Macon and an invasion of the State Reformatory, at Milegeville. The Governor offered a reward of $500 for the leader of the Macon floggings party and $100 for each member. He offered similar rewards for the leader and members of the mob that invaded the State Reformatory. "I am going to the limit of my authority to put a stop to these whippings in Bibb County," the Governor stated. "The mob outrages in other parts of the State also must come to an end. The law of the State will be upheld." The Governor's action came after he had investigated both the Bibb County floggings and the occurrence at Milegeville. In his prosecution offering the rewards, the Governor charged the Baldwin County mob who committed the offense of rioting and later assaulting Jim Douglas, Negro janitor at the State Reformatory. The Bibb County floggings began several months ago when whoops were administered to Dr. Schrieber formally at Boston; Dr. R. N. Mills, Lynwood L. Bright and others. Ms. Frederick A. Pace of New York was taken captive by the party when Bright was whipped, but was not flogged. Thursday night four men were flogged and left in the woods near Meacon, according to reports given police R. E. Bobo proprietor of a small grocery store; Otie M. Perry under indictment for alleged illicit liquor traffic; Gus Roberts, a reported friend of Perry and J. B. Goodyear were the men said to have been whipped. No arrests have been made in any of the cases. --- An appeal to the citizens, colored and white to see to the cutting down the weeds on the outside of their lots would help to open the peoples eyes. On Fourth street where they are building the new bank and on every street in the city, one can see trees and weeds growing on the side walks and no one ever takes notice. They are building some pretty buildings but do not look around and see the weeds. An appeal to the public would open their eyes since they clean away the snow when they read the appeal for such. -Citizen POSITION WANTED PRINTER:—Fifteen years experience wishes position in good job office or news plant.

RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 18, 1923 WARNING TO AMERICANS IN FRANCE ON COLOR PREJUDICE EXPRESSES THE NATIONAL POLICY OF FRENCH NATION NEW YORK TIMES SAYS FRANCE, AVERSE TO COLOR BAR ANYWAY, IS MORE SO NOW BECAUSE OF HER DEPENDENCE UPON THE BLACK COLONIALS FOR MAN-POWER. The warning by the Foreign Office that the color line must not be drawn against French citizens by towers, of whom Americans have been the worst offenders may be considered as in part an expression of national policy. Every one knows that the French people are not prejudiced against the map of color and do not object to social contact with him in public places. Some of their most honored literary men have been of Negro blood. No one thought of discriminating against them. They were received in the saisons. They were never made to feel a social inferiority. Marriages of white women with colored men in France have not been uncommon. But when before has the Foreign Office intervened to require consideration from alienes for men of color? The notification in this case that they are French citizens, and must be treated as such is something more than a gesture to place France's colored Deputies, who have demanded that insults to colored people by foreigners must cease. Light on the new departure can be had from a report to the Chamber on the military reorganization bill made by Deputy Fabry. He pointed out that the French Army of 660,000 men contained only 188,963 Africans. The time had come, he said, when the colonies should contribute more soldiers to the national defense. He estimated the population of the overseas possessions at 60,000,000. If added to the population of France, there would be nearly 100,000,000 people for conscription, on about 40,000,000 more than were available in Germany, which no longer had colonies. In a debate upon the Fabry report a reorganization of the army was urged that would add 850,000 colonials to the army of whom 400,000 could be fully trained to take the field. During the war the colonials provided 845,000 soldiers. M. Fabry, who is a member of the Army Commission and a vigorous advocate of preparedness to the limit of French resources, declared: These races in case of necessity are capable of a superior effort. France must train them in modern warfare and familiarize them with all the scientific material that will play a part in future wars. It is calculated that North Africa and Indo-China could easily provide more than six-tenths of the armed forces. Of course, there would be a danger in this display in favor of the colored races. M. Fabry admits that while the Senegalese and the Madagascar troops get on well with whites being of a happy-go-lucky disposition, the North Africans and the Indo-Chinese do not mix so well. An army organization in which the whites were in a minority would give the colored troops an exaggerated sense of their own importance which would certainly lead to friction. France could not use masses of colored troops in campaigns against white men without exciting protests. But fear of German aggression in the future is reminding France that in a war in which she had no powerful allies she would have to rely upon the colonials to make a stand against invasion. Since the war there has been a better appreciation of the value of the colonies and their development is urged by military men as well as by economists. France now talks rather grandiosely about her colonial empire. She must have a larger fleet to maintain. Its resources are exapatiated upon by army men; its attractive man-power is emphasized. Certainly the home Government must keep on good terms with the colonials and give them all their rights under the law if it will have to depend upon them in the emergency of war.

Neal, who departed her life two years ago, August 21 1921. The month of August once more is here, To me the saddest of all the year. Because two years ago today. My dear little Dorothy passed away. Dorothy dear, how I miss you, Oh, how happy you must be, With your loved-one gone, before you; Some day darling look for me. Dear is the grave where Dorothy is laid. Sweet is the memory that will never fade; Part of my life is buried deep, Under the sod where my darling sleeps. On how we miss the welcome foot step Of the one we loved so dear; Often we listen for the coming Feeling sure that Dorothy is near. The pain was hard, the shock severe To part from one I loved so dear; But in my heart she will remain, Until in heaven we meet again. Off from my heart comes a bitter cry, Oh why. Oh why, did my Dorothy die; Then comes the answer solemn and sweet My child is not dead, but only asleep There is one who still lingers At the spot where she is laid; Who still comes and scatters flowers At the grave where Christ has made. We did not know the pain you bore We did not see you die; We only know you went away, And did not say good-bye. In Memoriam. MOORE—In sad but loving memory of our dear daughter. Alice V. Edwards.

After holding his peace for a long time and sitting back letting matters take their course he is beginning to rebel against con- ditions obtaining ni the heavyweight division. He finally has raised his own voice in protest against Luis Angel Firpo, a foreigner, being given first crack at the world's title, while he is left to cook his heels on the outside. He thinks it most unfair. Thousands, probably 30 percent of local fight fans, agree with him. HERE'S HIS PLAY.

Never once have I done anything that bred even the slightest suspicion of my honesty, integrity and respectability. I can't understand why I am not given a chance. "Flirpo hasn't a chance against Dempsey. He doesn't belong in there with him. It is nothing short of criminal to stage such a match. How far will Firpo go? Not over three or four rounds at the most if Dempsey is only half the fighter he was. I note that I have been criticized in some quarters because I have not kept fighting. The fault is not mine. Whom can I fight? "Do you think you could get Firpo or Gibbons or any of the so-called contenders in the ring with me? Jess Willard shunned me as Dempsey is shunning me. I could yet matches. I could have all the fights I want if I did a certain kind of business. I don't want a lot of set-ups and high divers. Other boxers are doing it right along. They always have done it and they always will do it if it the public stands for it. But not for me. I never avoided a good man, but I'll confess I am wilfully avoiding the bad ones. I am willing to fight any first-class heavyweight. And I'll fight them on a winner-take-all basis MAKES OPEN OFFER. "Yes, I know that's old stuff, but I am sincere. I'll meet Gibbons, Firpo and the others and not ask for even training expenses. They can have every penny of the percentage money offered for the match by the promoter, if they beat me. "I've got a bit of money; I am almost independent. Consequently, I can afford to fight winner-take-all. That should also disprove that I am looking for the loser's end of a match with Dempsey." "Would you fight Dempsey winner- take-all?" he was asked. "Certainly I will and I'll do it with a smile." HOMESTEAD GRAYS HAVE A HARD WEEK AHEAD. (Preston News Service.) PITTSBURGH, August, 16.—The Homestead Grays, strong independent club and colored semi-professional champions of the East, are facing the hardest week in the history of the club according to Manager Cum Posey. The club winds up its week at the million dollar home of the Pittsburgh Pirates—Forbes Field—with two mighty important games. The strong West Newton club, with an all-star line-up, will oppose the Grays on Friday in a twilight encounter while on Saturday, the afternoon game will see the strong Bellevue club pitted against Posey's men in the second game of the series at Forbes Field. Bellevue won the first game at Forbes Field in 13 innings and this fact alone will serve to bring forth a record crowd. But, Friday's contest looms important or even more so than Saturday's. The Grays have met West Newton twice before this season, both games resulting in the scores. And with the line-up of the visitors strengthened, and a special train chartered to bring forth the rooters, interest is at a high pitch. Included in the West Newton line- PICTORIAL REVIEW OF THE CURRENT EVENTS OF THE WORLD THE FILM "THE MUSICAL" OF THE YEAR 1920, WITH THE ACTORS JOHN BURTON, JOHN BURTON, AND JOHN BURTON, IN A MUSICAL SET BY JOHN BURTON.

(Preston News Service) PITTSBURGH, PA. — Seall Hall and his Cuban X Giants have been playing splendid baseball so far this season. With a young, speedy, intelligent club behind him the veteran Hall has won a majority of the games played. Last Sunday, before more than 3,000 fans, the Barnesville club, who held the Cincinnati Nationals to a 9-7 score, went down to a 9-7 defeat in ten innings. A complex attack, including four bunts in succession, and a triple everted up the score in the seventh. Westerwick, the Scottdale pitcher, said to be one of the highest paid twirlers in independent baseball, proved no puzzle after the seventh, and Mashaw's home run with a man THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA FAMILY on the paths in front of him in the tenth, proved the straw that broke the camel's back. The club has turned in four triple plays this season, one of these starting from the outfield. They have won 26 games and lost 21. WILLS SAYS DEMPSEY HAS BUT ONE RIVAL.

Speaking about real baseball, you should have seen the game between the Bacharachs and the Baltimore Black Sox here last Tuesday afternoon. There is no national league, white or black, that ever played such clever ball as those sons of Ham offered the public. Harper twirled superb ball and Carr was not to be smiled at. Those Bacharachs just had their eye on the ball and would have hit anybody, but at that Carr was able to hold them to six scattered hits. The boys were playing such sensational ball that the six errors made by the Bacharachs were negligible. The pitching department of the game was all that one would expect. The support of the pitcher might be regarded as somewhat faulty, but the errors made mostly were on accepting very bad chances. The boys really played after everything.

The President, his fa WILLS SAYS DEMPSEY BUT ONE RIVAL HAS 一 Harry Wills, who holds all long distance, non-stop records for challenging, does not think very much of Senor Luis Angel Firopo as a fighter. As a prospective heavyweight champion Senor Luis, it isn't worth a serious thought, thinks Mr. Wills. The patient and enduring Senegambian is quite sure that the Argentine lewain will never hear the bell ring for the fourth round when he meets Jack Dempsey at the Polo Grounds on the night of September 14. Mr. Wills believes that Senor Luis, it isn't worth a serious nap not later than the third round while a referee does a sum in arithmetic over his flattened form. "Firpo is not the man to beat Jack Dempsey," said Harry with great finality. "I think there is only one heavyweight in the world capable of doing that, and his name is Harry Wills." This is the most daring and sensational statement the writer has heard the colored, heavyweight make. He is usually modest and reserved to the point of bashfulness. Boxing writers seeking his views on the heavyweight situation have always had great difficulty in drawing him out. He is less communicative than his manager, Paddy Mullins, which is saying something. Paddy prepared a masterful speech the other day to be delivered before the assembled Boxing Commission. All the board heard from Paddy was a simple fish story. He told newspaper men afterward that he would deliver the speech "next time." Harry Wills practices a studied reserve, in his speech, his manner and his dress. There is nothing flasy about him, unless it is his boxing. So, when Harry opened up with the remark quoted above, it was time to listen. "How long do you think Luis Firpo would last with you?" Wills was asked. BUILT FOR DEMPSEY "Oh, just about as long as he will with Dempsey." was the reply. "His style was made for Dempsey.

Dr. Fred Palmers SKIN WHITENER PREPARATIONS Dr Fred Palmer's SKIN WHITENER PREPARATIONS excuse for running out. It would have been impossible for me to arrange a barnstorming tour like the one that Firpo is on now. The men who were willing to take a chance with Firpo would never have stepped into the ring with me. And if they had I would have been accused, of picking up a lot of easy money by boxing soft setups. 'You hear a lot of talk to the effect that Firpo and I should have been matched, with the understanding that the winner was to have a bout with Dempsey for the title. Well, I was perfectly willing to fight the South American, but you didn't hear of any promoter trying to arrange such a bout, did you? It seems that when the name of Harry Wills is mentioned the promoters begin to talk of something else. "I'd like to know what they have against me. I've certainly played the game squarely and fairly. I work hard for a living, and I don't get it out of boxing. I live quietly and have never tried to show myelf off among the white lights. In every fight I've had I've done my best. I'm an American citizen, and if this count try went to war I'd be asked to shoulder a gun. I wouldn't be able to retire to the Argent ne and live on American dollars until peace returned. --- --- "I think it will be only a question of time—a very short time, too—before Dempsey will step ins de that round-house right and send his left to the chin. When he does the fight will be over because Dempsey can hit with his right. "I don't mean to say that the South American giant can't hit. He can probably sock hard enough to knock Jack Dempsey cold, but he has to have plenty of time and a slow-moving target like Willard to shoot at. If he lands that right with all its force, the person hit is almost sure to go down. All the men whom Firpe has met so far have been slow-moving targets. They were set-ups, that's all." "I see that some of the writers have been criticising me lately for not going out and knocking over some of the easy one. Well, if I had done that I guess the criticism would have been a good deal worse. They say I have refused a lot of matches on the ground that I'd fight Jack Dempsey or nobody. That isn't true. I haven't been offered any matches and the ones that my manager, Paddy Mullins, tried to make for me always fell through for one reason or another.

VIRGINIA THREE ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` A STATEMENT TO THE PUBLIC: We stake forty-five years' reputation for honesty, integrity and honorable action against ten months' aspersions of our enemies and those who desire to profit by the failure of the greatest financial institution of the colored people. 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. In the language of Shakespeare, we are saying to our traducers and slanderers- There is no terror, Cassius, in your threats For I am armed so strong in honesty that they pass me by Like the idle wind, that I respect not. A full, free and square vindication is demanded by us and we believe we shall obtain it. JOHN MITCHELL, JR.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES One Year ..... $ 2.00 Six Months ..... 1.10 Three Months ..... .68 Foreign Subscriptions ..... 2.80 SATURDAY.....AUGUST 18, 1923 GREAT BRITAIN AND FRANCE. The strained relationship now in evidence between Great Britain and France emphasizes the fact that the beginning of another great controversy is at hand and that a grenouvely effort is being made to embroil this country in the controversies of Europe. What other construction can be based upon the able joint copy made by Premier Baldwin, when he makes the basis of an agreement the amount due by this country to the United States of America? France has occupied the Ruhr Valley and has been unable to make it a paying proposition, due, of course to the passive resistance policy of Germany, which country is virtually paying the German population to remain idle. The condition is closely to that evident in Cura, during the occupation of that Island by Spain. With the Ruhr in the hands of the French Republic, the German Government is unable to meet its obligations to either France or the other allies. It is on this account that the other countries including Italy and the neutral ones have begun to form what will result in practically new alliances. The remarkable part of the whole business is the refusal of France and Belgium to submit the quotations at issue to the League of Nations for settlement. It is evident that some agreement must be reached as suggested by the United States for the ascertaining just what Germany will be able to pay in the way of reparations. As the matter now stands, a condition of unrest exists throughout the civilized world and money values cannot be stabilized. France is now supplying an enormous standing army, which organization threatens the peace of the civilized world. Just what economic pressure can be brought about to cause France to change its position is the question. Belgium which, hitherto has been an ally of Great Britain is now practically linked up with France. The fall in the value of the French and Belgian franc is an indicator that Great Britain is undermining values by its present policy. France raised the German mark and Great Britain and its associates may soon be in a position to underline the value of the money of its "cross-channel" neighbors. THE NEW PRESIDENT. The feeling seems to be general to give the distinguished occupant of the White House a chance to formulate his policies. It is true that he is now engaged in the delicate task of carrying out of his predecessors policies whether they meet his approval, unreservedly or not. Still, he must necessarily sooner or later assert himself, for he is a statesman of firm convictions and set policies, of his own. From past records, it seems only fair that he should be given a four year term of his own, in which to carry out his own policies for the good of the nation. If the White House occupant substitutes firmness for a vacillating policy, he may arouse a storm of protest which will be followed by a submit, the like of which has never been accorded to any one but Theodore Roosevelt. New England is now in possession of the government, so to speak and we are of the opinion that it will endeavor to carry out the higher ideals of that section of the country. Herefore, its statesmen have been forced to take orders from other sections of the country, rather than give them. The country seems to have a "craze" for elevating ordinary men to high positions, for which they are neither suited nor fitted Men of ability prefer private life and they are enjoying as much of it as possible, during the time that they are not being hounded by the "Department of Injustice." MR. SLEMP'S APPOINTMENT. The naming by President Calvie Coulidge of ex Congressman C. Bagcom Slemp as his secretary has caused a down-right secession in this State. The probability or possibility of such an appointment had not been hinted. The distinguished Virginian is one of the best posted politicians in this country and enjoyed the absolute confidence of the late President Warren G. Harding. Practically every wish of his seems to have been respected by that late caintain. Just what effect his close relationship with the present Chief Executive will have upon southern conditions, so far as it relates to our people is problematical. We have been of the opinion that Mr. Slepm has learned much in recent years and his influence for good will yet be seen and appreciated by many of his most relentless critics. As a Virginian we are necessarily pleased over the appointment of a representative from this State. Mr. Slepm is approachable and we are of the opinion will now reflect the fundamental attitude of the great statesman in the White House, whom he has been selected to serve. OKLAHOMA GOVERNOR ACTS. It is the irony of fate that the lawless elements in the Southland should now be visiting their vengeance upon people of their own color. Even the Ku Klux Klan has become a menace and a scourge to leading white citizens who have seen fit to differ with the leaders of that powerful organization. The following report explains itself: Oklahoma City, Okla., Aug. 13.—Govorner J. C. Walton, late today issued proclamation placing the city of Tulsa under martial law. The city goes under the rule of the military at 6 A. M. to morrow. Guard units from Oklahoma City and Okmulgee were ordered to proceed to Tulsa. Issuance of the proclamation followed flogging of Nathan Hantman, ot Tulsa Friday night. Hantman called at the Governor's office today and was in conference with Aldrick Blake, executive counsellor. The martial law order was promulgated immediately after Hantman told his story. All civilians must be off the streets by 11 P. M. and may not appear again until 6 A. M., without permit, it was announced. The order will not affect the courts or other departments of the civil government with the exception of the police and the sheriff's office, Counsellor Blake said. Governor Walton, who is resting at Sulphur, telephoned Blake instructions to issue the martial-law proclamation. "We intend to go to the very bottom of the Tulsa situation" Counsellor Blake said after his telephone conversation with the Governor. "The Hantman whipping is only one of a series that have been reported to the Governor's office. Other counties may be placed under martial law if reports of similar mob outrages continue to come in, it was stated A recent whipping at Kingfisher is being investigated it was said It was stated however that there are appealed to be no immediate necessity of sending troops there. Once troops are in control at Tulsa an investigation will be made, not only into the Hantman whipping, but also into general conditions prevailing in the city, it was understood. This is an indication that lawlessness has exceeded its limits and that the majesty of the law is being invoked to curb its power and to restrain its further operation. The outlook has been dark, but this migration of colored people to other sections of the country is having its effect. Justice has been a stronger in many portions of the Southland for many years and it may be that the doe of peace may yet find a resting place where outrages and lawless practices have been noted for a half century or more. PICKENS' "PSYCHOLOGY OF GARVEYISM.' PICKENS' "PSYCHOLOGY OF GARVEYISM.' The ecaliarities of the Marcus Garvey movement are British West Indian rather than American, according to William Pickens Field Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, writing in the August number of "The Forum" (354 Fourth Avenue, New York City). "The West Indian black whom Garvey found in New York." says Mr. Pickens "were the first to be moved by the idea of entire racial separateness even to the absurd extent of having a continent assigned to a color—a condition which commercial interdependence and scientific intercommunication make impossible. The American Negro is physically and constitutionally a part of his country; the West Indian Negro is physically separate and subjected by a subtle benevolent caste feeling. Also other differences in these group complexes explain Garveyism; the American Negro is used to the theory an to more or less of the practice of democracy ad equality; while the West Indian Negro has been bearing of 'tords and ladies,' titles orders nobilities. "If American Negroes had planned the 'Republic e Africa' we would hear nothing of 'Knights and Ladies of Ethiopia,' 'Knights Commander of the Nile.' Tukes of Uganda,' 'Sir' this and 'Sir' that. Those are the reactions of the British substratum." Mr. Pickens further refers to the West Indian division between black and light-skinned Negroes, which Garvey unsuccessfully attempted to use in the United States. —Read The Planet and keep informed in racial matters.

(Preston News Service) Pittalburgh, Pa., Aug. 17—There has been a lot of talk about the Negro not getting a chance, but this has been recently disproved by the promotion of John L. Clark, who set out 14 years ago to become one of the best Negro printers in the country. Mr. Clark worked in the shops by day and attended school at night studying the art and science of the printing craft. He learned the trade from printer's devil to assistant layout man, both by practice and theory. He was content to work hard and study fitting himself and perfecting his knowledge of the printing craft without complaining about the odds against him on account of his color. He told a reporter of this service that: "I never felt it just or even fair to the white man to complain that he does not give the Negro a chance. I knew that I did not know enough about printing to demand a job in a first class shop; but when I was satisfied that I knew my trade thoroughly I made application for a job in the best shop in Pittsburgh. They needed a printer and told that they would give me a job. I was given a very difficult piece of work. I noticed that the manager smiled when it as handed to me. After I had been with this concern for several months one of the foremen told me that they had expected me to be like most Negroes, not fully prepared. I am still studying for as long as a man is a printer he must study to keep abact with the fine points of the craft. I am also making a special study of advertising." He finally admitted that among his clients were the Strait-Tex Chemical Company, and then handed me some of the recent literature and advertisements he had produced for them. They were certainly master-pieces of art printing. SHARON CHURCH SERVICES. August 19th/ Location: Corner of Leigh and First Streets. 10:00 A. M.

POLICE CHIEF IS FINED FOR SHOOTING MAN POLICE CHIEF IS FINED FOR SHOOTING MAN (Proston News Service) Durham, N. C. Aug. 16—William Hester, who was shot some weeks ago by Police Chief W. F. Dody, was tried in the recorder's court last Thursday morning on a gambling charge and was acquitted. At the time of the shooting, police announced that Hester was flushed from a gambling game in the Hayti section of this city, that he ran in an attempt to escape. Chief Dody, according to a warrant issued at department headquarters, shot Hester during the chase. Afterwards the chief claimed that he thought Hester was another Negro, who is wanted by the police department. Dody was fined $10 and cost by the recorder on a charge of shooting.

Boyd, alleges that he has been damaged to the extent of $5,000 by the Memphis and Jackson C. M. E. church conference by being fired from the assignment of looking after the spiritual welfare of the Moscow, Tenn., circuit. In his bill filed last Wednesday morning Rev. Boyd charges that he's a regularly ordained minister and that he was assigned to the Moscow circuit by Bishop E. Cottrell in December 1922 for a term of one year but that he was discharged or "fired" by Presiding Elder Bell in June 1923. In addition to the financial loss, Rev. Boyd claims that his reputation as a minister of the Gospel has been damaged and he asks therefore for the punitive damages so that the conference will not be so apt to injure others in the same manner 12-YEAR OLD BOY PLANS TO KILL WHOLE FAMILY 12-YEAR OLD BOY PLANS TO KILL WHOLE FAMILY (Preston News Service) Centerville, Md., Aug. 16—The alleged determination of Frank Bryson, aged 12 years, to wipe out the entire family of W. C. Hall, has been practiced by the young had according to police officials. It is said that Bryson deliberately placed a quantity of strychnine in the milk being fed to Hall's one-year old baby who died from the effects of the poison. It is further claimed that the Bryson boy mixed poison in sugar, oatmeal and coffee about the Hall home with the confessed intention of killing the father of the child. He did not desire to cause any serious injury or the slightest bit of harm to Mrs. Hall, but that he was tired of caring for the baby and also tired of the brutal treatment he had received from Mr. Hall, according to the police.

PENNA. KLAN REBUFFED FOR FLORAL TRIBUTE. (Preston News Service) Rochester, Pa. Aug. 16—"Fools rush in where Angels fear to tread" fully expresses the situation brought about last Thursday morning when the Harding Funeral Caravan passed through here on route to Marion Ohio for the final resting of the mortal remains of the late President. Three silent figures, clad in the rain, men of the infamous ku klux klan and bearing a large cross of red carations, attempted to pay tribute to the late President Harding at the Pennsylvania railroad station here as the train slowed down in respect to the large crowd that had gathered to pay their respect, to the lamented chief. As the train moved slowly through the station one of the klansman advanced with the cross in the hope that it would be taken aboard. There was no one on the platform of the funeral car and the floral offering was not tak en aboard. As the train disappeared from view the klansman holding the cross upright stood at attention. Then they were whisked away in a waiting automobile.

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. Lot 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.

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.'

NOT TAKING ANY CHANCES. "Firpo has cleaned up a far fortune in this country and after Dempsey knocks him out he will take all that money back to South America with him. It won't be spent here. The Dempsey-Firpo match was an easy one for Tex Rickard to make because Dempsey and Kearns wanted Firpo. They knew that they were not taking any chances when they signed for that fight. They knew that if they took me instead of Firpo they would be taking long chances. That's the reason the Dempsey-Firpo match was made. IT CAN BE DONE if the Depositors will help. The future of The Mechanics Savings Bank is in their hands. Have them follow the instructions of eminent counsel employed to handle this matter and the RE-OPENING of The Mechanics Savings Bank is a certainty. Act promptly and you act twice. "I understand that Dempsey has said that he will be ready to fight any heavyweight in the world three weeks after his bolt with the South American. I'd like to make a little bet that he finds plenty of excuses for dodging Harry Wills. Kearn's best excuse for dodging willhad yy best excuse is that no promoter can be found who is willing to put on the match. I think he will find that Simon Flaherty, owner of the Queensboro Stadium, will offer him a proposition that will meet with his satisfaction if he really wants to let Dempsey get into the ring with me."

In default of the fine Rhodes is to serve sixty days in jail. Rhodes didn't have the kale, so he was "ugged." According to the testimony Rhodes late Tuesday evening left Baltimore with thirty-five half pints and several jars of corn whiskey for a party in Washington He reached Washington after dark and was picked up by a policeman. Rhodes told the court that he did not own the whiskey, but had been paid $10 to bring it to Washington. The court believes that Rhodes owned the whiskey, and if he did not own it he knew the parties who engaged him to deliver it as well as those to whom it was to be delivered. Rhodes said that he was to be at a certain street at a certain time and the man to whom he was to deliver the whiskey would meet him and make himself known that he was the right party to receive the cargo.

These doctors advised me to be operated on, as that was the only chance for me. I was advised to go and get some of L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicine and try be fore being operated on. I did so, and in twenty four hours after using his medicines I passed at least a half dozen gravel, some as big as a large pea. Since that time I have not suffered with the gravel. I highly recommend L. J. Hayden's medicine to all suffering humanity. I am. J. A. PAGE. 4 Auburn Ave., Richmond Va. W. I. JOHNSON FUNERAL DIRECTOR 10 WEST LEIGH STREET, Prompt Service.

Three men are convicted, two white and one black. One white man was convicted on July 13, 1923, in Brooklyn New York for fraud to the extent of $610,000. He was found guilty on thirty-four counts each count carrying a penalty of five years each and a fine of $5,000 making an aggregate sentence of 170 years and $170,000 in fines. After the jury returned the verdict of "gulley," this man was given bail in the amount of $15,000.00 to appear for sentence. When he was sentenced a few days after, he was given two years and fined $2,000 with bail on appeal. His crime was committing fraud on a bank in which thousands of people placed their savings. The other white man a minister of the Gospel, was convicted in Denver, Colorado on July 25, 1923 on 2 counts, for forging permits to supply liquor to rich residents of his city. The penalty for the crime on each count is five years' imprisonment, and a fine of not more than $10,000.00. On the 26th of July he was sentenced to two years in Federal Prison for each count to run concurrently, without any fine. He was released on bail bond of $5,000 pending appeal. This was an unnecessary and unusual crime as committed by the individual. The black man, Marcus Garvey, was framed-up and tried in an atmosphere of prejudice, in New York, for the alleged use of the mails to defraud in the sale of stock to help his race start a steamship line for their industry and commercial improvement. All the money collected was spent for the promotion of the company that bought three ships. The case lasted twenty-seven days. It could not be shown where Garvey got one penny of the money for stock for his personal use, but on the contrary he was the largest stockholder and greatest loser in the unfortunate failure of the concern caused three wiles of his enemies. He was indicted on eleven counts. He was found guilty of one count on the 18th of June in an atmosphere of prejudice. The maximum penalty on the one count was a fine of $1,000 or five years, or both. After conviction before sentencing applied for bail pending sentence. His application was denied. When brought for sentence three days after, he was given the maximum of 5 years and a fine of $1,000. Application for bail pending appeal was denied. He is still in jail. Three other applications for ball were made and all denied. We have three cases, one a bank commercial fraud for personal gain; one an unnecessary and unusual violation of law; the other the effort to help a race by an experiment, in fact, that teaches self-help and self-reliance. The first two are given the fullest opportunity to prove their innocence; the letter, "unfortunately" a black man in a white country is deprived of every opportunity of proving his innocence and especially that he tried his own case as counsel. Partial newspaper report of the cases of the two white men: MAGRUDER GUILTY ON ALL 34 COUNTS IN $610,000 FRAUD MAXIMUM PENALTY IS 5 YEARS, $5,000 FINE ON EACH COUNT; HEADED BIG SHIPYARD FIRM.

Walter A. Grace, pastor of a Catholic church at Arvada, a suburb, tried in United States District Court on charges of forging a permit for an application to ship Liquor into Colorado was found guilty today. The jury deliberated only ten minutes. "The judgements of God are not those of men." was Father Grace's only statement when the verdict was unnounced. The defense filed motions for new trial and arrest of judgment. The court is to rule on these Saturday. The penalty for forging liquor permits is one to five years' imprisonment and not more than $10,000 fine. GOT LIQUOR FOR INMATES OF HOME FOR AGED, MEN The Rev. Walter A. Grace was accused of obtaining fifteen barrels of old bottled in bond Early Times whiskey, ostensibly for the Mullen Home for the Aged, but actually for his friends. Father Grace was pastor of one of Denver's show places the Shifine of St. Anne, and he was deeply indebted to a number of prominent citizens for aid in building it. Prohibition agents alleged he forged the name of the Mott, superior of the Mullen Home to a permit for withdrawal of whiskey and later altered the permit so that in stead of calling for one barrel it called for fifteen. It was charged also that the priest obtained the money to finance the deal from one of his parishoners. Mrs. Katherine O'Connan, daughter of the millionaire for whom the home was named. It was asserted Father Grace got the money by telling Mrs. O'Connan how much occasional toddies would be relished by the old men at the home. But very little, if any, of the liquor got to the home, it is said. Mrs. O'Connan also is accused of conspiracy to violate the Volsted act but is to have a separate trial. PRIEST IN RUM CASE GETS TWO YEARS. IN JAU. Denver, July 26.—Father Walter A. Grace Arvada priest was sentenced to two years in Federal prison on each of two counts for forgery of applications for liquor permits this afternoon. The sentences are to run concurrently. He was granted a sixty-day stay of execution pending appeal to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals and bond was fixed at $5,000. The priest spent last night in jail. STILL ANOTHER CASE. But still there is another case recently disposed of that makes interesting reading. Dr. Edward A. Rumely, S. Walter Kaufman and Norman R. Lindheim, all white men, were convicted and sentenced in December of 1923 to one year and a day at Atlanta Federal prison for conspiracy to defraud the United States Government. They were immediately granted bail on appeal in the amount of $10,000 each. Their appeal was heard and decided on July 27 1923. Their conviction was upheld, but they will appeal to the United States Supreme Court. Thus again the fullest opportunity has been granted to the convicted persons to prove their innocence. But what of Garvey. Oh, he is a Negro. Bring this to the attention of your Senator and Congressman. Have this read before your Church, Lodge and Society and pass the news along to your neighbor.
