THE RICHMOND PLANET HENRY LINCOLN JOHNSON SEATED BY THE G.O.P. CREDENTIALS BODY REGULAR GEORGIA DELEGATES SEATED.-PRESIDENT HARDING'S LETTER A POTENT FACTOR. Declares Mistake Made in Treatment of Georgia Colored Folks.--Effect Instantaneous and Ben Davis and Others are Happy. MAY 17, 1923 Virginia St. VOLUME XLII, NO. 29 HENR REGULAR Declares CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 4—A letter from the grave suddenly upset the plans of Republican party managers for "cleaning up" the long standing factional fight in Georgia, and resulted to day in the seating again of delegates headed by Henry Lincoln Johnson, the Negro National Committeeman from that State, long a stormy petrel before the national convention. Just as most of the old line party managers on the committee had decided that Johnson and his delegates must go to make place for those representing the faction formerly headed by J. L. Phillips, which had been recognized by officials of the national committee as representing the regular organization in a State, a letter was produced written by President Harding to C. Bascom Slemp, new secretary to President Coolidge, saying that in recognizing the Phillips faction a blunder had been made and suggesting that action be taken to alter the situation. LETTER IS TRUMP CARD. Charles D. Hiles, committeeman from New York, practically forced the production of the letter. It was a trump card for Johnson and the committee voted, 22 to 14, to seat his delegates. A submotion offered by Joseph B. Kealing, committeeman from Indiana to seat the contesting delegation was rejected by the same vote. Then the committee made the vote to seat John son's delegates unanimous. The Georgia contest, which occupied practically all of today's session was the only enlivening feature of the pre-convention period. The session was alternately noisy, bitter, pathetic and funny. Johnson, as is his custom, had charge of the presentation of his own case and for nearly an hour he paced back and forth in front of the committee members, combining argument with appeals for consideration for the people of his race, and frequently was subjected to a running crossfire of questions from committeemen. VERBAL EXCHANGES ARE SHARP Often the Negro committee calling his associates by name, asked them to confirm his statements. At other times he engaged in sharp exchanges with members of the contesting delegation, in which personalities figured on several occasions. There were frequent bursts of applause from spectators and gales of laughter in which members of the committee joined. A. S. Anderson, of Millen Ga., who told his auditors he held office at the hads of Democratic electors in his district, presented the case in chief for the contestants, basing his argument largely on the reorganization of the State party machinery at Atlanta in July, 1921, at the request of President Harding and officials of the national committee. Until that time, he contended, chaos had ruled in party councils in the State. "Every time we would have a Republican meeting," he declared, "there always was a row, and we had to call on Democratic policemen to separate us." Denying allegations by the Johnson faction that after the reorganization of the party, Phillips, as State chairman, had undertaken to read the Negroes of Georgia out of the party. Anderson said an effort had been made "to draw a decemby line" in the party. He added that Negroes had participated in the Atlanta convention and that Negroes had been elected delegates at the convention last April. OUT OF RUNNING. Anderson, in concluding, said that, while the 1921 convention had recommended Philips for national committeeman in place of Johnson, he was authorized to say that Philips had withdrawn, and that if the contestants should be seated some one else would be chosen. This announcement appeared to turn ish Johnson the cue for his introductory remarks. "The contestants here," he said, "are playing the tragedy of Caesar with Caesar left out. Where is the national committeeman you elected at Atlanta? Can you answer in encency? Will tell you where he is. He is on trial in the District of Columbia for stealing $2,000,000 of money from the government in this war profitering." PERRY HOWARD. TOO. CLEWELAND, OHIO, June 5.—Republican National Committeeman Mulvihill, veteran winner of many a hard-fought contest before the Republican National Committee, lost his fight today when the committee refused to seat his delegates and accepted instead the delegates headed by Perry W. Howard, noted colored lawyer of Jackson, Miss. The committee's action forecast the replacement of Mulvihill as national chair by Howard. The motion to seat the Howard delegates was by Committeeman Hilles, of New York. The vote was unanimous. 38 votes were cast. NEGRO YOUTH URGED TO CEASE SELLING LABOR. American Federation of Negro Students Specifiee Other Vocations. (Preston News Service.) PITTSBURGH, Pa., June 5.—In a letter to editors of the country the Youth Movement, known as the American Federation of Negro Students, of which I. J. K. Wells is president broadcasts a call to the thousands of Negro youths and points out a path whereby thousands of our youths can work for the economic freedom of the race. This movement which is constantly spreading among the colleges, and last week by colored students of the University of Michigan, adopted a program to encourage youths to prepare for Negro business. Plans are on foot whereby economic scholarships will be raised to encourage and stimulate, as well as foster business development. Below is the letter from the Federation: "You will remember that at our recent national youth conference called at Nashville, Tenn., the American Federation of Negro Students for its major program for 1924 decided to focus all efforts upon the economic development of the race. .We are therefore, interested in the kind of work our youths are doing, and the nature of education they are receiving out of school and college as in them. Within a fortnight there will be over 100.000 of our youths upon the field to earn money to return to school. What will this great army of workers do? It is quite certain that over 95,000 of them will sell nothing but labor. "Our movement agrees that many of us must sell labor, but it cannot remain silent when there are other high paying fields into which the energy of our youth need to be directed." "We feel that our youth will use their services in other fields as soon as they really learn how much better they will be paid therein. Our people are heavy buyers of all kinds of goods from necessities to luxuries. There are suits, dresses, shirts, hosiery, foods, musical instruments, automobiles, in surance, cosmetics and hundreds of additional things our youths could sell and earn three or four times more than can be earned by the sale of cheap labor. "From common observation of the patience, energy, tactfulness, time and pleasant personality expended by our youth as waiters, pulman porters bell hops, red caps, waitresses and house servants there is little question but that great success could be achieved selling goods instead of labor. Conidence, personality and the independence so sorely needed, by our group will receive great stimulus, if we will loudly call our youth from the wholesaling of labor. Our trained youth must be discouraged from crowding the field as individual labor merchants "Our movement is laying plans to raise economic scholarships to foster and stimulate A Bigger and Better Negro Business. We heralded this call to the youth of America, and we feel secure in appealing to publication in this case and all others wherever the larger interests of your readers are to be served. —L. J. K. WELLS, President. Mr. and Mrs. Lee Olphin, of Newark, N. J. and Miss Hattle Vanran slear, of New York City are visiting the city this week. They will leave Monday for their homes. FLOWERS FOR DR. R. H BOYD NASHVILLE. Tenn. May 30.—(Special.) Two huge boxes of cut flowers consisting of illies of the valley, red, white and pink peonies with ferns were placed upon the grave of the late Dr. R. H. Boyd here today. This was the act of former co-workers of the deceased founder and builder of the National Baptist Publishing Board's Plant of this city. The movement was fostered by Miss N. E. King and Mrs. A. E. Tittle, representing the Union-Review Department and the Stenographic Department respectively. Out at Greenwood Cemetery where the services took place, the representatives sang "Longing For Heaven" from Celestial Songs Show Book No.1 led by Mr. A. G. Price. Prayer was offered by Rev. J. L. Harding, a member of the Publishing Board; after which a few remarks were made by Miss N. E. King; then "We Are Climbing Jacob's Ladder" was sung by the representatives led by Mrs. J. Caruthers. During the rendition of this song ten representatives, one from the ten Departments of the Plant, each holding an arm-full of flowers, slowly marched circled the grave and stood, and as the last stanza of the song was rendered they gently placed these flowers upon the last resting place of the deceased as fitting memorial to their fallen Chieftain and Leader. Mr. Lee S. Gray the General Foreman who had worked with Dr. Boyd for twenty-five years, was master of ceremonies. Robbins' 100 in 1 will do all that is claimed for it.

INTERRACIAL MEETING IN NEWPORT NEWS DOES MUCH GOOD Not since its organization several years ago has there been a more important meeting than the one held by the inter-racial committee last Monday night at the Y. M. C. A., New port News, Va. The clergy in large numbers, public school teachers, doctors, lawyers, busi- ness people and men and women in all walks of life made up the gathering. Quite a number of white people of both sexes were also at the meeting. Mr. George T. Hardy presided and Judge Hudgins of the Juvenile Court was an interested participant and made a very splendid talk. The meeting was progressing very smoothly in routine matter when Lawyer J. Thomas New some was called on by the chairman to address the gathering Reports had just come in from the various committees on clean-up week and it was said that much good had been done by inter- racial co-operation in that direction. ATTORNEY NEWSOME'S SUGGESTION Lawyer Newsome threw a bomb and created a sensation from the very beginning of his address. He said that the meetings were worse than use less than the two groups met in frank and sympathetic discussion of existing moral and spiritual evils in the light of the facts as they are known to exist. He did not believe he said, that .cleaning up back yards," was half so important as purifying black hearts and creating a public sentiment looking to a higher regard for the makers of our homes—our women and girls. He wanted to know how the inter-racial committee stands as regards the protection of Negro women. The lawyer declared that it is well known that the Negro woman has been the foot-mat for the beasts of both races for generations. "It is so well known," he continued, "that scant consideration will be given her when her honor has been assailed and she seeks legal redress, that it has become almost a foregone conclusion, if it is only a Negro girl, that the mat ter will be practically laughed out of court." PUBLIC OPINION LACKING "This condition is not due to a lack of law to meet the cases as they arise almost daily, but to a complete absence of public opinion demanding that the Negro girl shall be protected certainly until she reaches the age where the law looks upon her as in some sense able to defend herself." The lawyer then asked the committee point blank how it stands with respect to the enforcement of the law when crime sare committel against Negro girls and Negro women. He said that "the well known attitude of the white public on this grave question reacts on the Negro public to such an exent that there is too often a condemnment of the blackest crime against Negro woman-hood by those who ought to mould a public opinion which will drive out of decent society the heast who tears out the very vitals A lively discussion followed the address participated in by the chairman Judge Hudgins, Lawyer Walker Dr. S. Ahowell, Miss Emily Thomas, Mrs. Clark, Mrs. Jordan, Dr. Ward, and Professors Irving, Clark and Palmer. Judge Hudgins drew applause when he declared that he agreed with Lawyer Newsome and intended to send to jail every rascal brought before him, proven guilty of a crime against a woman whether that woman was white or black. A committee was appointed to appear before the Council to ask for a Colored police woman to give her entire time, with pay, to delinquent Negro girls. —R. T. WHITE. In Memory of Rev. Albert T.

C., June 5—Dr. James E. Shepard, Principal of the Durham State Normal School in this city, member of the State Inter-Racial Committee, President of the North Carolina Colored Teachers Association and one of the outstanding representatives of the Negro race in America, has given en to the newspapers a very comprehensive interview in regard to the inter-racial relationship of the South and the educational advancement of the colored people, especially in North Carolina. One portion of the interview which is of particular interest to the colored people generally is Dr. Shepard's statement in regard to Howard University. Dr. Shepard was asked to state frankly his views whether or not he thought a Negro President should be placed at the head of Howard University and other schools where white men are now at the head He stated his position as follows: "I rejoice at the growing progress of my race in educational matters in the country at large. The remarkable achievements of President Hope of Morehouse College and of Dr. Moton at Tuskegee and distinguished Negro presidents of other institutions are convinced proof that the Negro is capable of successfully operating large educational institutions. The time is fast coming when institutions devoted exclusively to the education of the Negro youth of the country must be headed by Negroes. "In the particular instance of Howard University, to be perfectly frank I do not believe that that time has yet come and it will not come until Negroes are willing and able to put in sufficient money to operate such an institutions upon the present or even a larger scale. This will require an enormous endowment and this endowment is not in sight. Until that time comes Howard University must be the ward of the nation and depend upon appropriations from Congress. "A white President would naturally be more able to secure and hold the ear of the senators and representatives coming as they do from widely scattered sections and with various viewpoints, better than the colored president could hope to do. This is not discounting in any sense the ability of Negroes to secure results along any line when they desire. We must face conditions rather than theories." Speaking of Dr. Durkee, the president of Howard University Dr. Shepard was strong in his endorsement of him. He said he had known Dr. Durkee for several years and that he was an unselfish worker seeking to advance the cause of the Negro and so cure for the Negro a hearing in the world. "I have heard Dr. Durkee speak in the North and in the South," said Dr. Shepard, "before white and colored audiences, and he has presented the cause of the Negro to those particular audiences in a different and far more convincing way than a Negro could have done. I recall with pleasure," said Dr. Shepard, the address of Dr. Durkee before the State Colored Teachers Association at Staten School, Winston, N. C., on Thanksgiving, 1923. In the audience were white Southern ers and over a thousand colored teachers of the State. President Durkee made an address then, which held the audience spell-bound and he made a plea for the Negro which could not have been surpassed by any man white or black before any audience. He endeared himself to the colored teachers of North Carolina as few men have done in a generation. His aim for How ard University, as I understand it, is to put every department in Class A and to raise sufficient money for these various departments so that they will be properly endowed and then it is his desire to relinquish his job to anyone who can carry it on because then How ard University will be an independent institution. I deplore the various attacks of the colored people or white people for that matter upon any man who is really working for the advancement of the race and I know from personal knowledge that Dr. Durkee is unselfishly working for the Negro race. I hold no brief for him, because I feel he needs no defense at my hand. I simply, as a Negro who believes in his race and is working in every way to advance it, desire to speak the truth and to give a word of praise to those white men who are fearlessly championing the cause of the Negro. As I view the growth of Howard University I think all of its friends will agree that it has really made more progress in the last five years than in any twenty years previous. I do not think I need to be quoted further along this matter, but I desire to go on record as a friend of Howard University and a friend of President Durkee."

HARLAN, an expert in the Department of Agriculture, returned from Abyssinia with the announcement that Abyssinians "are not Negroes and have nothing in common with Negroes except color," the sociological "pros" and "cons" have been scratching their heads bald trying to advance new truths concerning the trend of descent of dark Ethiopia's stock. And now that Prince Ras Taffari Regent of Abyssinia and descendant of King Solomon, with his escort of Ethiopian aristocrats, is doing a friendly marathon over France, Americans, both white and black, who are inndulging in health tours in that gallant country, have been in a quandary as to whether or not the Prince and his human accompaniments should be welcomed or scorned, as the case might be. The problem was so perplexing that some German scientists were consulted and they unanimously described the Abyssinians as a mixed Hamito-Semitic people, who contained no Negro blood whatever, and none of the Negro qualities, either physical or mental. Furthermore, it was said, "over there" that, upon the ground that they are Ethiopians, pure-blooded Abyssinians hotly resent being considered Negroes. To cap the climax, it is said that when an Abyssinian Emperor was asked to head a so-called Pan-African movement for the benefit of the Negro race, he quickly said: "I am not a Negro; I am a Caucasian." Thus, the elimination process has reached Abyssinia, and who can say what may eventually happen to all Ethiopians when they are permanently separated from their Fatherland? Either they'll all become Negroes or mulattoes or else they'll form a new species of human-kind, void of a genealogical past so far as the root is concerned. It's no wonder that Samuel W. McCall, former Governor of Massachusetts and ex-member of Congress, once said: "If a Jew goes wrong, it is because he is a Jew; but if a Christian does the same thing, it is because he is dishonest." Transposing this conclusion, we have the unhappy theory that if a Negro goes wrong, it is because he is a Negro; but if an Ethiopian does the same thing, it is because he is dishonest. Going a step further, we have the illuminating knowledge that a Negro is an Ethiopian, and an Abyssinian is an Ethiopian; but, not even for the love of Mike, is an Abyssinian a Negro. Stand up, before the bench breaks! A DOCUMENTARY TEAM was made of Congressman Foster's Bill, H. R. 3228, "to create a Negro Industrial Commission," and Congressman Celler's Bill, H. R. 5564, "to create a Commission on the Racial Question," and after Chairman Graham, of the House Committee on the Judiciary, had called the august Committee together, and the two Congressmen, a Republican and a Democrat, respectively, had paid each other appropriate legislative courtesies, an array of witnesses, both for and against a Negro "commission" awaited the Chairman's call, eager to be "placed upon the record." President J. Stanley Durkee, of Howard University, put his OK on the "commission," saying that "it should tell the Nation the results of its work, and influence the thought of the Nation." Mr. Perry W. Howard, Special Assistant to the Attorney General, said: "I want to give my unqualified indorsement to House Bill 3228." Mr. Isaac H. Nutter, Attorney, of Atlantic City, N. J., approved the "commission" saying: "I think the vital thing for that commission is the appointment of men of both races, who are not only learned, but who have some equilibrium, some poise that will give and take and get at the root of this thing." Prof. Jesse Lawson, President of Frelinghuysen University and creator of the Spencer Commission Bill' of which the Celler Bill is an exact counterpart, after admitting that he had been studying the racial problem for 22 years, presented a very elaborate argument as to why the Celler Bill should be passed. Prof. Lawson seemed to be an enthusiastic supporter of the Celler Bill, but only luke-warm upon Mr. Foster's measure. After decrying any tinge of politics which might have silently soaked into the "commission" project, and, further, after resenting an insinuation that he was a Democrat, Col. Giles B. Jackson, Attorney, of Richmond, Va., had put into the record his testimony of 1923 when he appeared before the same Committee upon a similar "drive." Mr. William A. Byrd, of Jersey City, N.

Johnson, of New York City; and Col. M. Trigg, of Tennessee, warmly indorsed the "commission" bill and argued brilliantly as to why it should become a real, live part of the Government. But the "cons" had not been heard from. And when Mrs. M. Mossell Griffin, of Philadelphia, Pa., took the stand and said: "Mr. Chairman, I appear here as National Legislative Chairman of the Federation of Colored Women's Clubs representing 161,000 women, organized in 40 States, and we are opposed to the Bill," everyone sat up and took notice. Mrs. Griffin stood up admirably under a severe cross-examination, and closed with quite a burst of oratory, in which she said: "I would like to say to the gentlemen, again, that Mr. Foster has just brought out the very point that we wanted to present to you—that there are men who stand out prominently as leaders of our race, who lead groups, but the groups that they lead are not altogether satisfied with the positions that they take.

We believe in saying, when a thing is wrong, that it is wrong. I have taken this matter up with some of our prominent educators. For instance, I talked to a man who was here the other day, and when I told him my viewpoint he was nonplused. He said: 'I had never thought of that.' And yet he is a man who has been advocating the bill' and I dare say you have his name. He was at a loss to see just what the possible dangers were. It was Prof. Kelly Miller. I do not mind calling the name. I say to you that although these prominent educators who stand out are willing to submit to this kind of thing, we are opposed to it, and we are simply here presenting to you our disapproval." And when Mrs. Griffin's corroborator, Attorney James L. Neill, of Washington, had added his testimony to the deluge of logic it seemed to be about a "fifty-fifty" bet, as to the prospects of the "commission" despite the numerical strength of the "pros." AN EXCITED REQUEST FOR AID, a curt rebuff, a series of shots, and Harlem's "finest man," six feet tall; broad of shoulder, fell to the sidewalk, unconscious but smiling the same smile of the old golden days and dreamy nights—the smile which had transmitted its gladness to a thousand human hearts, and which had augmented the courtesy, yea the charity of a thousand acts of kindness. Barron D. Wilkins had been hurriedly sent over the long trail, leaving Harlem sad over the departure of its idol. Barron D. Wilkins had original initiative. Years ago when the "Haymarket" made hay while the moon shined, at 30th Street and Sixth Avenue, New York, Barron conceived recreational innovations which he established in 35th Street, near Eighth Avenue. "Here," he said, "I will provide unique pleasure." Moving to Harlem in 1903, Wilkins established a cabaret at 134th Street and Seventh Avenue, which has never been permanently closed. Here, the man "with the big bank roll" lived and let live. He financed the Negro base ball teams. He assisted his friend, Jack Johnson, when the latter was trying to "break in." He aided the needy. He smiled unceasingly. Even as Death was on its distant way to meet him, he had ordered a suit of clothes for Sam Langford, the ex-prize fighter, to whom he had sent a check for $25. He was always strong for the guy who was "down" and many a weary wife and child have been the beneficiaries of Barron's bountiful spirit. Harlem's thousands mourn the loss of this human gladiator, whose gracious hospitality will no longer dispense bills and blessings. He has gone to test the equation of a mystery, whose veil, some day, each one of us must thrust aside, that we may gaze upon the features of the inevitable conqueror of this life. May his soul rest in peace. Harlem, N. Y., without Barron D. Wilkins, will be like a motorless motor.

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCHES TALK UNITY OF BRANCHES (Preston News Service) GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. June 4.—Judging from the attitude of the special envoyes that have been sent respectively to talk or rather convey disposition on the part of the two branches of the Presbyterian church to consider unification a casual observer is led to believe that are long some plan will be devised to overcome the bone of contention which has stood in the way of getting together for more than half a century. "It is said that some Negro communicants of the church are dubious of this measure as it may work to the detriment of the race. One minister commented in an off-hand manner. "I get uneasy whenever I see the white folks of the North and the South shake hands." One would gather from this that there is a feeling among certain feint hearted Negro Presbyterians that the contest will change from North against South over the Negro question to, the North and South whites against the Negro.

JUNE 7, 1924 The seating of the delegation from Georgia, headed by National Committeeman Henry Lincoln Johnson, by the Republican National Committee will be hailed with joy by the colored people throughout this country. You may say what you will but that able statesman of color ranks with the best, irrespective of color that this country has ever produced. Despite his "ups" and "downs" he has remained true to the Republican Party. His only rival for this kind of recognition is R. R. Church of Tennessee and he should be accorded the same kind of recognition. The two are friendly and they represent the highest type of Negro political endeavor. We are standing solidly behind both of them. THE GEORGIA CONTEST. We have received a copy of "Facts, Party Customs and Law," upon which basis, the four delegates and alternate delegates from the State of Georgia base their appeal to the Republican National Convention, which meets in Cleveland, Obio, June 10, 1924. Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson, member of the Republican National Committee is attorney for the appellants and in fact is one of the delegates from that State. The argument adduced, from a standpoint of right and justice is unanswerable and must necessarily result in the recognition of the credentials, which this powerful aggregation of delegates will produce. In summing up the contention, Mr. Johnson proves that the whole trouble is based solely and wholly upon race and color, that Georgia has not contributed a single electoral vote to Republican nominees in fifty years and that there is no likelihood of its so doing to day. On the other hand the ignoring of fundamental principles, the disregard of the tenets of the Republican Party will lead to the radical estrangement of this class of people. As southern colored voters, who have migrated to northern States will prove a potent force in the coming campaign, it would be political suicide to unceremoniously turn down their relatives and friends in Georgia whom they have left behind, but to whom they are bound by the tenderest ties of friendship. Certain it is that the colored people of this country are in no humor "right through here now" to tolerate any backward movement along these lines. We indulge in the hope that the great Republican Party will take no backward step in this movement. We have but one representative upon the Republican National Committee and this one should not be eliminated, but rather increased by at least one other, who is just as able. We are interested in the success of the Republican Party and for this reason we trust that its leaders will deal justly with the delegations, who are standing in the forefront to represent one of the most faithful aggregation of voters, this country has ever produced. Again we repeat it, the argument adduced by Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson for his clients is unanswerable and the colored people of this country stand squarely and un equivocally behind him in these reasonable demands. We have received a copy of a circular signed "A. B. C.," making a virulent attack upon Rev. J. E. East, D. D. We must admit that we are at a loss to understand the purpose of this movement. It seems to us that some sinister influence is at work. The circular is dated Pittsburgh, May, 1924 and to our mind should have been filed with the Board having charge of the appointment of this missionary and if not considered there should have been appealed to the National Baptist Convention itself. This underhanded method of attack is not only unmanly, but disgraceful and seems to indicate that the author or authors are not invulnerable to at- tack. It pays to fight fairly. By this policy, friends are made for Rev. J. E. East, D. D., even though he may not deserve such friendship. Is there a bug under this chip?? Let us hope not. AN HERETICAL BISHOP. Bishop William M. Brown was found guilty of heresy by the trial board of the Protestant House of Bishops in session last week at Cleveland, Ohio. In view of the fact that the Bishop not only denied the divinity of Jesus Christ, but declared that he believed that he was a symbolical character that never actually existed any more than the proverbial Santa Claus or the popular Uncle Sam, we do not see how the trial board could have arrived at any other conclusion. Leaders of this type should be as bold as the late Robert G. Ingersoll and equally as free from arrant hypocrisy. You cannot be Christian and atheist at one and the same time. Bishop Brown has a right to his opinion, but he should separate himself from the Christian Church, when he expresses the same and not put that great body to the annoyance and expense of performing that service for him. The Modernists are entirely out of tune and allignment with the Church as founded by the Christian Fathers and they should be bon-st enough to understand that fact and proceed with the members who believe with them, to establish another church of a different faith and order. Mrs. Lucie E. C. Scott has im- improved to such an extent under the skillful treatment of Dr. A. A. Tennant that she will soon be able to be on the street again. Actress Hilda Thompson, who has been ill during her stay here, has improved greatly under a well-qualified W. White. She leaves today for Baltimore. REV. GEORGE BRAGG, JR'S. HISTORICAL RECITAL To the Editor of The Planet: I was much impressed in reading the beautiful tribute paid by the Richmond "Dispatch" to 'Miss Belle Mason' a venerable colored communicant of St. James Episcopal Church, Richmond. It recalled tender recollections of the past between the white 'elect', and the colored 'elect' created by them by a participation in their life. Just as beautiful relations were established beween the races, under the old order of things, so let us hope that the same kind and quality of amity and good will may obtain under an entirely new order of affairs. Some years ago, I celebrated the Holy Communion in St. Stephen's Church, Petersburg, Va., where I was brought up. It was an anniversary occasion. I was the celebrant of the Communion, and the Priest, who assisted me and delivered the cup. was Rev. Giles B. Cooke, who had presented me for confirmation, in that same church when a boy twelve years of age. Mr. Cooke was an ex-Confederate soldier, a 'Major' on the staff of Gen. Robert E. Lee. Among those who came forward to receive communion were two white Southern ladies of the very high est class. One had been my teacher; the other had been, the owner of some of the people in that congregation. These white ladies were 'more humble' than Miss Belle Mason; for they neith er came forward 'first' to receive, or waited until all the colored people had received. On the contrary their humility was most marked, for at different rails each came in the milst of those received; and they received the blessed sacrament from the hands of a colored Priest whom they had known as a 'newboy.' "Referring to St. James Protestant Episcopal Church, Richmond, it will be doubtless, a piece of welcome information to learn, that possibly, the most beloved rector that church has ever had the late Dr. Dr. Joshua Peterkin, began his ministry as the rector of the church over which the present writer presides, St. James, First African Church, Baltimore. We are about celebrating the one hundredth anniversary of the founding of the church, by a colored Priest, William Levington. Mr. Levington died 12136. At the time, young Mr. Peterkin was at the Virginia Seminary and had about determined to go to Africa as a Missionary. He changed his mind and his ordination was hastened in order that he might become the rector of St. James First A. C. and thus save the parish from perishing. While rector of St. James, Richmond, he became one of the founders of the Bishop Payne Diylynth School, Petersburg, which has educated such a large number of colored Episcopal ministers. And, in passing I might say the late Rev. Dr. William Meade Clark another rector of St. James, Richmond, also Editor of the Southern Churchman, in variably and persistently as few other men, North or South, advocated a square deal' policy towards the black man."

Chicago, Ill.—St. John Baptist Church, Rev. Dr. F. A. McCoo, pastor—The Rev. Dr. W. H. Skipwith, noted international preacher, singer and one of America's foremost evangelists is with us for his fifth year in revival. People who have been hearing him for years in various sections of the country, are crowding our church and saying as they leave "I have been hearing this man preach and sing for ten years or more, but he seems to get better and better." The majority of the 2,800 members of our church have been hearing him for five years and yet when he comes they clamor to hear him. Why? Because he always has a message, in sermons and songs. Hence, he never wants for a crowd and is always engaged. He's a real God-sent Evangelist preacher, and when it comes to singing, he is in a class by himself. He can measure up to any on the field, black or white. Just coming out of a fifteen weeks engagement without recreation, we were somewhat fearful of a breakdown but eighty persons have united with the Church since Sunday. —S. Brewer WYTHEVILLE NEWS.

Date Is Still Unsettled, Promote Wanting August 1st. While South American Asks for Aug. 20. NEW YORK, June. —Tex Rickard, Madison Square Garden promoter, Monday confirmed the report from Buenos Aires that Luis Firpo, Argentine heavyweight, had finally recaptured his announced retirement and had definitely signified his willingness to meet Harry Wills in a bout here this year. Rickard stated that he had received a cable from Buenos Aires stating that Firpo and Juan Homs, Rickard's South American representative, had come to an agreement, and that the Argentinian would affix his signature to a contract today. What the terms of this contract are, however, Rickard would not disclose, although he admitted that in closing the agreement Homs, following Rickard's instructions, had acceded to Firpo's demands. These demands, it has been intimated at various times, reached $250,000, but Rickard would not say whether such a high amount actually is involved in the present agreement. Rickard said that he did not care to make any statement until Firpo had signed. Rickard, however, said that the only point not settled in Buenos Aires between Homs and Firpo was the date. The promoter added that he was anxious to hold the bout no later than Aug. 1, but that Firpo was insisting that he would not be ready to meet Wills until August 20th. Rickard desires the earlier date because it would be better to have more time between this bout and the probable meeting between the winner and Jack Dempsey for the world's title. Rickard already has signed Wills to meet Dempsey the latter part of August or early in September, and has repeatedly stated that he has an understanding with Jack Kearn's manager of Dempsey, whereby Dempsey will meet any one whom Rickard of Wills's contract with Rickard of course is subject to elimination should the Negro meet defeat in the interim, so that if Firpo should defeat Wills it would mean another battle between the Argentinian and the champion this Fall. Rickard Monday reiterated his previous announcement that he would hold these important heavyweight championship contests at Boyle's Thirty Acres in Jersey City. R EARL JOHNSON WINS A A U TEN MILE CROWN --- (Preston News Service) NORTH TONAWANDA, N. Y., June 4.—Two new national champions were crowned here Friday when R. Earl Johnson, of Pittsburgh, won the A. A. U. Ten-Mile run championship formerly held by Willie Ribla and H. C. Freeman of the Central Walking Club, dawned the seven-mile-walk crown. Johnson took the ten-mile run after a hard fight with Albert Micheelson of the Cygnet A. C., Port Chester, Conn, and James Hennigan, of the Dorchester Club, Medford, Mass. Micheelson and Hennigan finished second and third respectively, after having stuck with Johnson for a major part of the way. The times were: Johnson, 54: 29-5; Micheelson, 54:30; Hennigan. 54:32-4.5. It is thought that Johnson was not compelled to extend himself at any time through the whole pace, as he appeared to simply be regulating his pace sufficient to win over his competitors. He at no time appeared to be endeavoring to establish a record. However, the men made a fairly strong effort to finish with a spurt, but as they put on additional speed Johnson seemed to Slyly increase his pace keeping all the while a sufficient lead to assure victory. HAMPTON CLOSES BIG ATHLETIC YEAR (Preston News Service) HAMPTON, Va., June 5—Some of Hampton's outstanding athletes will be lost to the institution through graduation, but there are many bright prospects from which to build up a formidable aggregation in the various branches of athletes for next season.

BROOKS CORRECTS PAPER ON TYPEWRITER CONTEST. (Proston News Service) WASHINGTON] D. C., June 6—Negroes of the country notice more and the more the apparent concerted action on the part of daily newspaper reporters and writers of "nordie" descent to minimize the creditable activities of race men and women, and on the other hand, magnify racial short comings of colored people. A few days ago the Washington Evening Star in an article in connection with a prize being won in a typewriting contest played up a white lad as the first per son in the District of Columbia to win reichognition. Norman E. Brooks saw the article and took exceptions, or rather endeavored to refresh the "con vient-forgettery" of the American whites. Mr. Brooks' communication follows: "In the picture section of Sunday's Star for May 18, 1924. I notice the picture of a young man who had received a gold medal for typewriting and it was said that he was the first in the District to receive such a medal. "I beg to inform you that a young colored boy of the name of Cortez Wilson Peters was the first one in the Disstrict to receive this gold medal for type writing. He received the medal on June 18, 1923, when he was graduated from Dunbar High School. And since that time he has won a Reington Standard typewriter, which is the highest medal that can be awarded outside of the international contest, which is held in October. "I just thought that I would call your attention to this fact because there is much good that the colored man is doing in Washington and elsewhere, that is not given general recognition. To verify my statement you may write to the Underwood and the Remington Typewriter companies at this city or to the main office of the Remington Company in New York City. TWO MEN INJURED WHEN ELEVATED CAR OVERTURNS (Preston News Service) COLUMBUS Ohio, June 9—Howard Ross, aged 35 and Hezekiah Austin, aged 32, were injured last Thursday when a car on an elevated track at the plant of the Welch Chemical Company where they were employed fell with them to the ground.

LANCASTER, Pa., June 6—Miss Helen Evet, aged 23 years, a nursemaid in the home of William Stathopolis, a restaurant keeper, and three of the Stathopolis children, were found dead in a gas-filled room of their home last Tuesday morning. The tragedy took place during the absence of Mr. and Mrs. Stathopolis. It is said that a policeman patrolling the beat detected the gas fumes and broke into the house where they found the bodies. Gas escaping from an autoatic water heater is believed to have been the cause of the tragedy. ATHLETIC PAGE "AXE-MURDERERS" TO HANG FOLLOWING CONVICTION BIRMINGHAM, ALA, June 4.—(P. N. S.) Pearl Jackson and Prison Johnson have been sentenced to hang following convictions in connection with the numerous mystifying and terrifying murders in Birmingham during the past three years. The Jackson woman and Johnson were found guilty for participation in the slaying of John Robert Turner a white man, with an axe. Similar testimony has been brought out against Odel Jackson, who, also is being tried in connection with this crime. According to testimony, the defendants started out to rob somebody after drinking a quantity of "skull and cross-bones"—said to be dangerous and treacherous composition of wood alcohol and other ingredients, freely dispensed by both white and colored "leggers" to almost any body who has the price. It is said that Mrs. Pearl Jackson will be the first woman to be executed in Alabama for many years BATHING BEACH FOR WASHINGTON NEGROES AGAIN TO FORE. WASHINGTON, June 5.—(PN S) THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA They all want to know the approximate amount of the assets to re-open the Mechanics Savings Bank. The amount is stated in the following extract from the decree signed by the able Judge of the Richmond Chancery Court- But how much more is needed? The Receivers assert that they cannot determine this amount until all the pass-books of the depositors have been turned in and balanced. To meet this condition the depositors, in meeting assembled, by unanimous vote, decided to share in any liability in excess of the amount already ascertained. This relieves the situation and enables the Receivers to strike a balance and submit the same to the Court with such a recommendation as may, in their judgment be fair to the people whom they represent. This then will necessarily end the delay as the Receivers have been unofficially reported to be in favor of re-opening the Bank and willing to do all in their power to help the colored people of this community. The issue is plain. Personal feeling and animosities should not figure in this matter. Let us re-open the Mechanics Savings Bank in order that those depositors who are urgently in need of some of their money may be able to get it and those who wish to deposit their savings may be permitted so to do. The depositors stand pledged not to make any run on the Bank Other issues and conditions can be met as they are presented The primary purpose at this time is to do business again. Let us ascertain the approximate amount of liability, put up the assets necessary and with the aid and support of the good white people and the self-sacrificing colored ones, backed by an abiding faith in the Almighty God, let us re-open the Bank. Patiently Waiting. 'And it being represented to the Court that the closing of said bank by the plaintiff was because of the presence in its assets of obligations of the Bonded Realty Company, Inc., amounting to the sum of $83,500.00, which are not secured to the satisfaction of the plaintiff and it being further represented to the Court that there is a reasonable prospect of the defendant being able, within a short time, of satisfying the plaintiff as to said obligations of the Bonded Realty Company, Inc., and as to the entire solvency of said bank, it is further ordered that said receivers be authorized and instructed to report to the Court, at the earliest possible date, together with a statement of the assets and liabilities of said bank, such offers and plans as may be submitted to them by the defendants, or others on its behalf, with a view of satisfying the requirements of the plaintiff and effecting a prompt discharge of said receivers, and the return of the assets of said Thomond, Va. to its proper Of the $158, 196,417 carried in the second deficiency bill reported to the House of Representatives Thursday by Representative Martin B. Madden of Illinois, $50,000 is recommended for the construction of a bathing beach for colored people. Although an appropriation of $25,000 for this purpose has been available for two years, officials and the Negroes of Washington have been unable to agree upon the location of the proposed beach. The colored people of the District have insisted that their bathing beach be located in the Tidal Basin on the opposite side from the one used by white people. Just what the colored people of the District will do in the case cannot be surmised as the whites, under the lead of Col. Sherrill, who has charge of public buildings and grounds, are determined that Negroes shall bathe elsewhere than in the Tidal Basin. It is said that there are certain groups of Negroes of the District inclined to accept either the south end of Columbia Island or the Virginia end of the Francis Scott Key bridge. They argue that a half loaf is better than none. Under the leadership of Mrs. Julia B. Jones, of the Pittsburgh Courier, a monster testimonial was given last Thursday night at Loendi Club in honor of William Randolph, the high school student who successfully defeated all opponents in a series of oratorical contests in Allegheny county recently. He was defeated—many say, by partial judges in the state contest. A handsome gold watch was given young Randolph as a token of respect and esteem. MANY COLORED SPEAKERS ON SOCIAL CONFAB PROGRAM.

(By Archer S. Mitchell) “1g questioned, a large majority of the most intelligent men and women of the race would say that the greatest bar to the progress of the Negro is ignorance and hence the greatest need of the race is the right sort of education, and yet there are comparatively few men of oustanding ability who are willing to commit themselves to the work of teaching as a profession. A happy exception to this rule is Prof. Nelson ‘Williams, Mr. of Richmond, instruc- tor in history in Armstrong High School. In the language of his pu- ‘piis—“He knows his stuff.” Prof. Williams is an M. A. of Co- lumbia University and a member of jhe Alumni of the Graduate Schools ‘of that University. He is a fellow also of the American Sociological Roeleiy. “His expert knowledge in religious education, as well, has been freely given to this community for ‘a number of years. ‘An outline of his scholarly ad- dress delivered last Friday night be- fore the Attucks Athletic and Lit- erary Society of Richmond, on the Psychological Basis of Religious Ed- ucation” was enthusiastically re- ceived by this intelligent group of students of social science. Mr. John L, Ballard is president. Prof. Wiliams’ synopsis follows: (); Consciousness fa evatution ary. (a) Mind and body evolve to- getler, Mind determines the direc- tion of the body and racial ideals. Consciousness is an evolution from insufficiency to sufficiency. (b) Dominance of environment by eonsclousness. A conscious control of building ideals, The senses evolve around this control of conscious modifications. Prophets and teach- ers modify and thus shape this rev- olutionary conscious ideal. Out of consciousness come the mental ideals not so much as “to what” Biology says, as “‘to what we are,” Dut, rather not what conscious Psy- chology says “what we are” but “what we are to be.” (c) Conscious evolution—Indivie- ual ideaTism, and racial tendencies “are modified, theii, conscious selec- tion—elinination, Human conscious- ness is constructing a human build- ing—A higher consclousness 1s con- structing and maintaining an ideal building. (a) A sufficiency not found in the ‘senses. Man is dust; Consclousness ‘Ys God. (2) Are the problems of Religious Education based on the acceptance of the doctrine of recapitulation? No. (a) Man is not what his exper- fence bas been. (>) Man {a not what his race experiences have been nor the sum of these experiences. (c) Life selfexisting before the child was, Embryogeny development— Ontogony (child)~Phyllogeny (race) The theory assumes that each indi vidual passes through the racial steps of development. The race once welled in trees, caves, ete. The child need not and should not do so for development. (a) What the racé Was doing at certain time (adult life) cannot de- termine what the child is doing at a certain time. Adult life of g race and the child life of a child will not fit recapitulatory in terms of development. (e) Not sustained by Biology. Nature has many short cuts, (1) Nature drops (2) out un: ‘used material. The child a con. scious animal (3). (3) Conscious Selection Maintains After Modification by (a) Natural short cuts. (b) Dropping out what is not desirable. (c) Eliminating erudeness. (4) | Utility—modityins symbyosis, (0) Multiplication by ex perience. (f) Self evaluation. —(g) Bnvironmental adjustment. (bh) Idea adjustment. (1) Ethfcal discipline o1 ideal adjustment. (4) _ Imitation in Educatfon— “deal Race.” (a) No ground for s perfect biological adjustment. —(b) Instructive tendencies are eminent (e) An impulse from without (out side stimull.) (d) A regulating med ium of thought expansion. (e) 4 ‘gonse of fitness. “Energerisms.”” (f) The sense of fulfillment. Get ting a gtip on the thing—Judgment others. (bh) Motor teaching — —empression (1) —expression (2) (®). Conscious and unconsctous—imi tation. (j) Assimulated movement in ideas. (5) Examples in Religious Educa tion, (a) Race is advanced through examples. (b) Examples of motive tion must be concrete and reach the imagination. (c) Examples must be presented not as ‘cultivated virtues’ but as ‘Soofal situations’ “Virtues and the Virtues.” (d) Unity of good character. (e) Moral attitude to: wards Society, (f) Ethical back- ground. (g) Limitations of Examples by (1) time (2) space (3) cireum. stance. (h) The perfect Example— No limitation. (1) The Ideal Exam- ple—Christ. A perfect Teacher in precept and example, (6) Precepts and Codes. (a) Pre cepts and Codes have limitations. (b) Edit the Prevept. (c) Keep uni- versal valuo only. (d) A code of commandments not sufficient. (e) ‘The doctrine of good intentions— insufficient. (f) The Code says “thou shall not,” the abstract virtue of the Code is there, but “Who is my neigh- dor” must be answered in terms of social and religious valuation. (&) Not negative teaching but a sound inoculation of Positive moral char acter. (7) ‘The Conscious Ideal. (a) Growth of the individual ideal. (b) Progressive experiences and a defin ite sense of living above ignorance. (@) Narrowness dies out. (4) A standard supreme end sought. (e) Conception of codes and types that lead to that end. (f) The basis of | universal right—One joyous concrete ‘conception—God. WILCOX’S TONIC TABLETS. FOR THE BLOOD AND NERVES cured me of rheumatism and neu- ritis after specialists had failed, M. EB.
