A Su Moorefield man Dye Spingarn Me Judge Ira Ja Deliv PHILADELPHIA, June 27.—With delegates in attendance from more than 30 States, including Georgia, Oklahoma, Colorado, Tennessee, South Carolina and most of the Eastern States, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People opened its 15th Annual Conference in Philadelphia with a mass meeting in the First African Methodist Church at which the outstanding features were addresses by Moorfield Storey, National President of the Association and Congressman L. C. Dyer. At this meeting too, a greeting was read from President Coolidge expressing "my good wishes to your splendid organization and my hopes for the fullest realization of its high purposes." Welcome to the Conference in behalf of the City of Philadelphia was extended by Charles Hall. President of the City Council and by Isadore Martin. President of the Philadelphia Branch N. A. A. C. P. Mr. Hall took occasion during his address of welcome to deliver a vigorous denunciation of the Ku Klux Klan for which he said there was no place in America. Bishop John Hurst, presiding officer at the opening, mass meeting, charged Southern sentiment was dominating the Nation despite Northern victory in the Civil War, and asserted that the time had come for Negroes to stand to gether and make common cause for their rights. Mr. Storey in his address reviewed the growth of the N. A. A. C. P. from a small committee to a membership of 100,000 and asserted that it rested with colored people whether the campaign for their full citizenship rights was to be carried victoriously onward by the N. A. A. C. P. Commenting upon President Coolidge's message of greeting, to the N. A. A. C. P., Mr. Storey said: "There is a very simple way of testing President Coolidge's wishes for the realization of our high aims. Let us test the President in the matter of segregation in the government departments in Washington. It began under CONGRESSMAN WILL R. WOOD LASHES "SOLID SOUTH. (Washington, D. C.

"Dating from the days of human slavery," said the Congressman, "when all labor in the South was regarded as menial and degrading, the Southern states have been reluctant to recognize the human rights of the working classes. This reluctance is accented because of the additional fact that the bulk of labor is done by the Negro, whom the Democratic "Solid South" does not regard as entitled to any rights. On the other hand, the North, from the days of the agitation against slavery, has been the otitelad and the hope of free labor; labor that was given not only its right but was accorded honor. "The northern industrial states have been developed by free labor. For that reason the northern Republican states lead in the matter of all legislation looking to the upliftment of working conditions, the improvement of industrial standards, and the protection of those who earn their living in the sweat of their brow." Mrs. Amanda H. Lee Passes Away. A telegram received last Tuesday morning, July 1st conveys the information that Mrs. Amanda H. Lee died at Dunville. Va. after a long and protracted illness. We published recently a testimonial received by her from her superintendent which was a remarkable statement relative to her sterling qualities as principal over the schools to which she had been assigned. Mrs. S. J. Holbrook was devoted to her and stood the severe test to which she was subjected, ministering to the sufferer during her last hours. REV. WING AT WILBERFORCE Rev. G.

The Democratic National Convention began balloting for a candidate for President after the adoption of the platform. The supporters of Hon. William G. McAdoo made vain efforts to have the adoption of the platform delayed on account of the Ku Klux Klan issue. The Smith forces insisted upon a direct condemnation of the Ku Klux Klan by name and when the platform was read without this specific denunciation, it was carried to the floor of the convention where it was adopted by just one vote, so far as the official announcement was disclosed. A SHREWD MOVE It was the purpose of the supporters of Gov. Smith of New York that this should be done as it disclosed the fact that Hon. William G. McAdoo was really the candidate of the Ku Klux Klan, inasmuch as the members of the Convention belonging to the organization and the States controlled by the same solidly supported him for the presidency. No such scenes have ever been in any national convention before. This vote had a tendency to weaken mr. McAdoo. Another thing which also injured the Californian was the vote on the Wilson League of Nations. LEAGUE OF NATIONS Former Secretary of War Newton D. Baker, made a dramatic appeal for support of his independent platform plank endorsing the League of Nations He declared that the failure to re-enact this League of Nation plank would be a reflection upon the former President. By an overwhelming vote, the Convention rejected Secretary Baker's plea. As Mr. McAdoo is the senior-law of President Wilson, this also injured his chances. The influence of the Ku Klux Klan is everywhere in evidence. This organization opposes Catholics, Jews and Negroes while also ostracising the foreign born. BOB WAGONER KILLED WHEN LIGHTNING. STRIKES SHELTER. (Preston News Service) WINSTON-SALEM, N. C., July 2.—Among the six men killed Tuesday afternoon when they were trapped in a shed near a quarry where they were working by a thunder storm by a bolt of lightning which struck the shed containing 150 pounds of dynamite stored there, was Bob Wagoner, aged 50 years. The explosion resulting when the dynamite was set off by the lightning was heard several miles away.

After the wounded persons ha dpossitively identified the three men held as members of the attacking party, the oorner's jury returned a verdict that Penny Westmoneland came to her death by pistol wounds by members of a mob, and among members of the mob were Gullege, Shockley, Rogers and others, not identified.

It was my first time in Michigan. A day at Ann Arbor, seat of the huge University of Mich- igan, was a milepost in my travels. It was from Michigan that Dr. J. A. Miller, of Detroit’ carved his M. D. Moreover, Dr. Miller was one of the first Negroes to be graduated from medicine at this institution. Previously in the early nineties, Dr. John A. Miller had left his Vir- ginia home and buffeted his way through Williams College in Masea- chusetts where he took the liberal arts and selences courses. ‘A great novel as archate and as subtle gs Evangeline could be writ: ten about this Detroit physician. He believed in service and went to the heart of Dixie, Vicksburg, Miss., to heal and soothe the physical woes of a benighted race. There he built up a lucrative practice. He is of medium stature and truly a man. Nature tanned him chocolate brown, But being too much of a man to yield to the sullen dictates of the Mississippi fre-eating whites who insulted his intelligence, and tried to decrease his manhood, by decreeing the amount of Liberty Bonds he should buy during the World War. Nature was mocked and to his body was applied the Ku Klux coat of tar and need I to say the never absent feathers. Upon the heels of this in sult followed the diabolic ultimatum measured in hours to vacate Vicks: burg on the mishty Father of ‘Waters. Upon the counsel and ner suasion of his friends, from the Mayor down, he was dissuaded from dying at his’ post as he had pledged himselt to do. | Thus Detroit acquired one of its leading physicians. His fine home, his many friends and Ruse practice gained there in less than four years show to the world the invineible- ness of @ real man, Dr. Miller would impress anyone. Personally he has a distinct, crisp business attitude. Although one-half century old he likes to dance. With his breakfast he prefers music of the masters. In his splendid library in both his of fice and his home are to be found works ranging from 0. Henry to Dumas and Shakespeare. Travel and study have broadened him. He ha Seen much of America and almost every country in Europe. Upon leaving Dr, Miller and his Detroit I crossed into Ontario thence to Buffalo and down to Cleveland, Making this trip I reflected much Dut soon I was thrown into a most receptive mood.

From: The N. Y. Times. (Preston News Service) CRITICS OF RACE RELATIONS AND PROGRESS in the little “Mountain State,” West Virginia, would do well to muzzle their guns and stop “knocking” the truth; and T. Edward Hill, of the West Virginia Bureau of Negro Welfare, is to be congratulated upon his able reply to the urbanites who have been wasting their time by lambasting the residents of the hills and dales of one of our greatest commonwealths. We are not natives of the little sturdy State of which “Mon- tani Semper Liberi” (Mountaineers Always Freemen) is the headlight; but we have traversed her mountains and streams sufficiently to observe a uniform type of race relations and race progress, the superiors of which, all in all, we have yet to find ‘west of the Atlantic or east of the Pacific. Critics should study the history of West Virginia and the enunciations of her statesmen. Then they should take an in- ventory of her activities in behalf of her colored populace, making note of the appropriations of State funds for Negro institutions and individuals; the attitude of the State Judiciary; the public school system; the Negro in industrial life; wages, hours, and conditions of labor; wealth; home ownership; and last, but by no means least, the genuinely-sincere interest which State officials exhibit toward their Negro constituency and the happy interracial spirit found throughout the State, which is full of promise for ambitious, honest, capable folks, their color aa vinsine “Ignorance is bliss, but 'tis foolish to knock e truth.” WHEN THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CON- ference of 1844 requested Bishop James Osgood Andrews “to desist from the exercising of the office of Bishop as long as he persisted in being a slaveholder,” this institutional vehicle of spiritual life became noticeably bisected into the M. E. Church North, and the M, E. Church, South. The southern delega- tion unanimously sustained Bishop Andrews and his impedi- ment of slavery, and the good church, established by John ‘Wesley and brought to this country by Philip Embury and Robert Strawbridge, and their associates, born and trained in England and Ireland, set out upon its bilateral religious sea of Methodism, which, today, is comprised of sixteen distinct de- nominations, ali agreeing essentially in doctrine. The Methodist Episcopal Church, North, with its member- ship of 3,376,888, has striven valiantly with its methodical religious cohtemporary of the South, but its church union plan, which has been anchored on the council table for some time past, the subject of consideration, discussion, and prayer, has apparently been wrecked on the reefs of spiritual discord. For Bishops Candler, Collins, Darlington, Ainsworth and Dickey, of the southern wing, have just made the unanimous announce- ment that “the plan proposes a relation to the Negro not best for him, and not possible for us. It calls'for the acceptance by our people of two Negro Bishops.” ' And the spirit of Bishop Andrews, of 1844, may whisper back from its dank resting place, “Amen.” And thus, the Methodist Episcopal Church, through a group of its bishops, who have Ipng since departed from the pastoral oversight which moved the followers of Wesley, Embury and Strawbridge, exhibits outward causes for its sixteen distinct branches; its A. M. E. membership of 850,000; A. U. M. P., 4,000; A. M. E. Z., 578,310;'C. M. E., 219,739; and M. E. South, 1,673,892. Alll but the last-named are striving to reach back and clutch in their religious palms the doctrines of Wesley, who, in tum, ‘was reaching back to the doctrines of Jesus Christ. The latter group, however, clings tenaciously to its own institutional “‘im- possibilities.” Separate church—separate sepulchres—Hell? Heaven? Someday, somehow, we'll understand! WITH THE RUMOR THAT CHICAGO DEMO- crats are planning to run a Negro for Congress in opposition to Martin B. Madden, Republican, and the indisputable fact that the Klan issue was a paramount one jn the Democratic convention, an era of wonderment has ensued in the minds of thoughtful BRETHREN. _A\ Negro running on the Na- tional Democratic ticket would be as strange a spectacle as Barnum’s white elephant; yet an analysis of the national sit- uation permits the formation of some theories which are, at least, worthy of careful consideration. Three hundred thousand Negro first voters will go to the polls this November in States where a ballot is a ballot. A. large percentage of these voters came from locations where all they knew about elections was what they read in the papers. ‘What they read locally smacked of simon-pure Democratic Policies, and what came to them from far away presses of the North was belittled by those from whom they, at that time, made their daily bread. They settled in liberal localities of many northern States, where they found work among both Republican and Demo- cratic employers, neither of whom were much concerned about the semi-strenucus political and social life of the South, Astute Democratic leaders, willing to risk all for the crown of victory this autumn, and feeling sure that naught can change the South’s electorate attitude, may be making a “bob-tail” bid for the Negro vote, believing that States like New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Illinois, which yield tremendously heavy contributions to the electoral) college, will, for victory’s sake, bargain with the advocates of unadulterated Democracy. The latter party’s attitude against the Klan in Indiana, and the insistence of some of its leaders at the Convention to make a national issue of the Invisible Empire, certainly point to a political turnover of some kind, which the BRETHREN are viewing in wonderment, If this trend of advocacy of greater political privileges for the BRETHREN is not a sugar-coating, designed to hide an ill-tasting medicant, but is the result of an honestly-inspired oh (Continued on page 4) between brown and ebony and you have a fair idea of his complexion.

Powderly, white, of Pennsylvania, passed on to Heavenly realms; and in his passing the Race loses one of its staunchest friends» His death moves us to recall words spoken by him at Richmond, Va., on October 10, 1886, when he said: “OF the two races in the South at the present time, the Negro is making the most energetic struggle for an education. If the whites would not falt behind in the race, they must learn that moral worth, not wealth, is the true standard of individual and nat- ional greatness.” i The occasion was the General Assembly of the Knights of Labor, of which Mr. Powderly was General Master Work- ‘man, held at Richmond, Va., in October, 1886. Frank J. Ferrell, a colored delegate, sent by the New York division, had been selected to introduce Hon. Fitzhugh Lee, Governor ‘of Virginia, who was to address the Assembly. Prior to that evening, Mr. Ferrell, who, because of his color, had been denied hotel accommodations at Richmond, as the result of which the entire New York delegation withdrew from the hotel previously selected by them, had been the topic of city-wide discussion, The Richmond Committee argued against the very thought of a Negro being considered for the honor of introducing the Governor of the State. After much ex- citement, which reached its zenith when it became known that the Negro delegate had been admitted to one of the choicest seats in a Richmond theatre, following which many left the building vowing vengeance on the “intruder,” Mr. Ferrell was assigned to introduce the General Master Workman, Mr, Pow- derly, to whom he paid the following tribute: “Tt is with much pleasure and gratification | introduce to vou Mr. T. V. Powderly of the State of Pennsylvania who will reply to the address of welcome of Governor Lee of this State, which is one of the oldest states in the arena of political influence in our country. He is one of the thoughtful men of the nation, who recognizes the im- portance of this gathering of the toiling masses in this our growing Republic. As Virginia has led in the aspira- tons of our country in the past, I look with much confi- dence to the future, in the hope that she will lead in the future to the realization of the objects of our noble Order. It is with extreme pleasure that we, the representatives from every section of our country, receive the welcome of con- gratulation for our efforts to improve the condition of hu- manity. One of the objects of our Order is the abolition of those distinctions which are maintained by creed or color. I believe I present to you a man above the super- stitions which are involved in those distinctions. My ex- perience with the noble Order of the Knights of Labor and my training in the District have taught me that we have worked so far successfully toward the extinction of those regrettable distinctions. As we recognize and re- pose confidence in all men for their worth in society, so can we repose confidence in one of the noblest sons of labor —T. V. Powderly—whom I now take the pleasure of presenting to you.”” = ys ‘Throughout his jlife, Terence. V.

SATURDAY.....JULY 5, 1924 God's blessings will be upon you if you trust in Him. Be happy although trouble is knocking at your door. Some people, who talk the most peace do the most fighting. The Golden Rule is not generally observed these days. People, who treat you wrong will reap punishment in due time. Pray for them. Climbing up towards Heaven does not necessarily mean that you will fluently reach there. We thank those of our friends, who have been aiding us with their subscriptions. People, who want to go to Heaven are in a striking contrast to the number, who actually get there. Life is too short for any of us to treasure up animosities and to destroy long existing friendships. The Sarah G. Jones Hospital drive under the management of Mr. James H. Frayser is meeting with deserved success. - You can only find out your true friends, when you get into trouble. Before that time, you are only guessing about them. Usually getting even with some people in this world means that these same people may get even with you in the world to come. France is loosening up in its de mands upon Germany. The drop in the value of the franc is the immediate cause of it. If the Democratic National Convention at New York had been a Negro organization, what would the white press of the country have said about it? Some people are so contrary that they cannot always agree even with themselves. They will start down the street for one purpose and then turn abruptly back for another. Some so-called Christians are now doubting the fundamental truths of the Bible. It means that the time has come for them to forsake the religion, in which they do not believe. Children get angry with each other and make up. Grown people often carry their animosities for years and drop into their respective graves with out having spoken to each other during the greater part of a lifetime. The Democratic platform pledges immediate independence for the Philippines should that party be restored to power, despite the fact that it did not grant this independence when it was in power in all branches of the Government and President Woodrow Wilson, a Democrat urged it so to do. The meaning of the whole business is that both of the political parties are as one upon this question and neither the one nor the other is really willing to confer the right of self-government up on these people. Japan continues to profess friend ship for this country and this country continues to express admiration for the people of Nippon. The people of both countries are a. liberty to think what they please about the whole master. In reality, Hon. William J. Bryan appeared as the champion of the Ku Klux Klan and he and his brother voted with the members of that organization in the Democratic National Convention. Mr. Bryan lives in Florida and evidently he desires to return and live in peace there. He adopted the only safe policy to accomplish this result. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge must have smiled grimly, when he read that a Democratic National Convention at New York had rejected the Wilson League of Nation's plank by an overwhelming vote. His treatment at Cleveland was evidently forgotten in the exhuberance of his joy over his justification in a gathering of his bitterest enemies. The death of Judson W. Lyons, former Register of the Treasury of the United States removes from public view one of the most remarkable of the old type of political leaders. He was a man with a remarkable personality reinforced by an indomitable will. He resided at Augusta, Georgia and was an authority upon political conditions in that State. Bishop L. J. Coppin of the A. M. E. Church is dead and his leaving this earth will cause general mourning among the vast throng of admirers who knew his true worth. That great Church has never produced a nobler specimen of man-hood and in his loss the great organization has experienced a blow from which it will not soon recover. Senator Carter Glass of this State who has been so prominently mentioned in connection with the presidency comes from Lynchburg and is known for his outspoken position upon all fundamental principles. He is a states man of high character and his word is his bond. Colored people have nothing to fear at his hands for he is known to mete even and exact justice. For this reason, had he been nominated for the high office, he would have split the Negro vote wide open. The action of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in expressing dissatisfaction with both the Republican National Convention and the Democratic National Convention platforms and returning to a third party before the last named organization has expressed itself in convention assembled upon these vital questions seems not only to be premature but unwise. The Republic can National Convention expressed itself in specific terms upon the question of lynching. It is hardly fair to hold President Calvin Coolidge responsible for the failure of the legislative branch of the government, when it was demonstrated that the Republican Party was in control of the government only in name. The leaders of this great organization may have had a purpose in their action, which, up to this time has not been disclosed. We shall see, though what we shall see.

Large losses in employment in the iron and steel industry are reported for May, 1924. The shipbuilding and automobile industries also show a loss in pay-roll totals. The genuineness of this temporary slump was reflected by a young colored unskilled steel worker of Pennsylvania who recently stated that he was daily expecting to be "laid off." This tendency should cause both the steel employer and the steel worker to reflect over their conduct. Has the latter, aside from his efficient habits, tried without ceasing to weave his way into the select classes of steel workers—those who are the "last to go"—so that, when danger appears, he can present a preponderance of proof to show why he should be the last, rather than the When a slump, be it temporary or permanent, hits industry the weakest human unit is apt to feel it first. The iron and steel industry has furnished more employment, of certain types at least, to Negro labor than any industry under the sun; and Negro labor has performed more efficient work, at a lower wage for the iron and steel industry, than has any other racial labor unit. Even so, promotions have been slow, and entrance to the select skilled classes for him, have been difficult. A slump which is undoubtedly temporary, is on foot, and will probably take its first toll, no matter how slight that toll may be, from the Negro worker.

BEWARE OF CIVIL SERVICE "SCHOOLS." WASHINGTON, D. C., June 20.—The United States Civil Service Commission and the National Vigilance Committee of the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World today issued a joint warning against misleading advertising of many so-called civil service coaching schools. The following points are emphasized: (1) No "school" of this kind has any connection whatever with the Civil Service Commission or with any other branch of the Government (2) No school can give advance information regarding examination questions. (3) No school can furnish civil service information of value which cannot be obtained without cost from the Civil Service Commission at Washington or its representative at the post office or custom house in any of approximately 3500 cities. (4) No school can "guarantee" appointment in the classified civil service. Appointment can be secured only through open competitive examination under the civil service rules. No school can cause a competitor to be certified for appointment out of the regular order, as determined by his examination rating. The Civil Service Commission states that large numbers of applications for examination received at its office indicate that many civil service schools accept as clients and take money from practically illiterate persons who could not possibly pass any kind of examination. E. I. McKinley, deputy labor commissioner of Arkansas, it is said in the joint warning, recently has investigated correspondence schools of this class and authorizes the statement that he has concluded that the majority of them come as near being "fakes" as the postal laws permit. The "schools" that Mr. McKinley condemns are the ones that offer to qualify persons for civil service positions or make a professional man of a laborer in a few weeks. Mr. McKinley says that schools which prepare for civil service examinations rank second to "defective schools" in number.

MISSIONARIES ON PROGRAM AT THE NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION. OHICAGO, IL. (Specialist) - Returned Missionaries from Africa, India, Panama and the West Indies Islands will be on the program here at the National Baptist Convention September 10th to 16th. This is but one of the many features that have already been announced as a result of the program committee meeting held at Cincinnati several weeks ago. Rev. E. D. Hubbard of West Coast Africa, Rev. Matsunan, from the East Coast Africa Rev. R. H. Thourborne from Panama and Rev. Falkstine of the West Indies Islands are known to have already made arrangements to be present at the big Foreign Missionary Rally. In addition to these some of the able ministers of the Baptist convention have been programmed to speak. Rev. S. E. Pierce, of Macon, Ga.; Rev. W. Wilber Page, of Cincinnati, Ohio; Rev. A. L. Lucas, of Waco, Texas; Rev. G. C. Coleman of Oakland, California and others whose name have not been divulged by the program committee are known to be preparing their messages for this gathing which will be international rather than national in its scope. The local committee in Chicago has already addressed itself to the task of housing ten thousand visitors that will be here during the week. Assurances of an unprecedented attendance was made last Sunday morning at the Friendship Baptist Church by Dr. L. Drane, the pastor, who is also the chairman of the local committee on entertaining the Convention. Dr. Drane stated from the pulpit that Chicago would give the best reception of any city where the Convention had met within the past forty years and that the homes of the windy city would be thrown open to receive them.

FLOYD J CALVIN QUEIRES. 11 (Preston News Service) NEW YORK, July 3.—The versatile and virile writer, Floyd J. Calvin, who conducts a special department in the Pittsburgh Courier, says in the issue of June 28th: "An echo from the Republican National convention recently held in Cleveland is to the effect that Henry Lincoln Johnson of Georgia and Perry W. Howard of Mississippi will be appointed to lead Negroes of New York and Chicago in the coming Republican canapaign. If this rumor materializes it will mean a blow to the party's chances of winning in November, which will not be inconsiderable. "Some people get expediency and sound principles mixed. It is argued that since Johnson and Howard are elevated to the national committee, the highest tribunal in the party, they are the logical leaders of Negroes. They are—in Georgia and Mississippi, from whence they are elected." "The only reason Henry Lincoln Johnson and Perry W. Howard are on the national committee is because northern Negroes forced their election as a need of recognition for the race in a section where the Republican party is the Negro—and perforce the Negro ought to have a voice in the party councils because of that fact. If this recognition were not granted, then that would be an argument against the Negro gaining recognition elsewhere, for charity begins at home. But to take these same two southern politicians and put them over northern Negroes is nothing more than the old reconstruction principle of carpet-bag rule. Southern Negroes themselves could not resent being crushed in the South but northern Negroes, as a measure of self-protection, could resent it for them. But it is not to be thought that what northern Negroes do from personal motives indicates any particular love for southern Negro politicians. Northern Negroes have their own political leaders and they believe in local self-government. "Let the two Negro national commit DOWNINGTOWN INDUSTRIAL & AGRICULTURAL SCHOOL—DOWNINGTOWN, PA.

Such an adjustment, by changing the tuning, changes what is called the "natural frequency" of the radio tuner or the musical string. This natural frequency is the rate of vibration which is the easiest for the tuned system. If a piano string is tuned to the frequency of 250 cycles per second, which is the pitch of middle C, it will give off a note of that frequency whenever it is disturbed or struck. That happens because tuning the string to 256 cycles is nothing more than inaking its natural frequency 256 cycles, so that its easiest, or natural rate of vibration is 256 cycles per second. teemen represent the states they are elected to represent, and be satisfied with that " ILLINOIS DEMOCRATS NAME COLORED MAN FOR CONGRESS SEAT (Preston News Service) CHICAGO, IH. July 3—Earl B. Dickerson, an attorney of this city, will be offered the Democratic nomination for Congress in the First Illinois District taking the place of James F. Doyle, who has found that he cannot make the race it was announced here Sunday by Illinois Democratic leaders. Dickerson, who is a graduate of the Universities of Illinois and Chicago has been selected tentatively by the organization leaders to make the race against Representative Martin B. Madden, veteran of twenty years' service, and Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee. Dickerson's selection, if approved by the full committee, will be the first in stance of a Negro candidate seeking office on the Democratic ticket in Illinois in a number of years.

KLAN FORCES WORK TO HALT OPPOSITION Demonstration on National Democratic Convention Floor Prompts Action of the Klan Members. SIX NEW YORK—Rulers of the Invincible Empire are fighting with their backs to the wall. Imperial Wizard Evans, Senator Earle B. Mayfield, Alva Bryan, Texas Klan member on the committee on resolutions; Hollins N. Randolph, chairman of the Georgia delegation and all of the dragons, cyclops and kleagles had a great shock and fright yesterday when the demonstration against their order broke on the floor. For the first time they were given a warning of the deep-seated feeling among the people of America against their organization. The reaction today and tonight added to their discomfort, for it became ap art that Southern Democrates now see the danger to their beloved party, which comes first in their minds and devotion. They looked upon the Klan as a harmless, foolish plaything of people who wanted something to do. But the outbreak in the Garden brought them to realize that they have been playing with fire. KLAN DELEGATES IN CONFERENCE Early today Klan delegates to the convention conferred at the McAlpin and the Great Northern Hotels to work out some plan to stop the drive on their camp. They now believe a majority of the delegates are preparing to blow a blow at their empire that ultimately will result in its disintegration. Early in the day it was reported that Mr. McAdoo had decided to tell his agents to desert the Klausmen in their effort to prevent the use of the name of the organization in the platform plank. But that story was denied by McAdoo workers, who said he had taken no stand whatever on the subject. The Klausmen are frightened. They now believe the convention will give the klan such a black eye in the South where it originated, that it cannot prosper. Once the Democratic convention puts the brand of disapproval on it, it was pointed out today. Southern leaders must tell their lieutenants and workers to steer clear of it. That attitude would kill it. Secuting trouble several days ago, Klan officials began we call in their reserves. Among the first to get a summons was W. B. Hanger, attorney of Fort Worth. Texas; who is representing Senator Mayfield in his fight to retain his seat in the Senate. It is said by Texans conversant, with the facts that when in distress or close quarters as he is here, Evans sends for Hanger. CHARGES KLAN IS DRAWBACK. About the time Hanger got the notice to come to New York he was notified that his mother was ill and he could not leave the State. In the absence of Mr. Hanger, Randolph, of Georgia and Alva Bryan of Texas will act as directors for the imperial wizard, and will be assisted by Virgil C. Pettie new national committeeman from Arkansas. Judge W. B. Council, a prominent member of the North Carolina delegation said today the Democratic party must hold itself free from alliance with orders like the klan. "I would not name the klan in our platform but would force it from the political arena, said he. "We cannot afford to take distention from any secret order if we expect to maintain our party. The fight made here will serve to bring our leaders to a realization of the danger of Ku Klux Klan co-operation." It has been manifest to Democratic chieftains that the klan is a drawback rather than a help. TEXAN DEMANDS BLOW AT KLAN Captain W. E. Lea, of Orange, Texas came here to demand an anti-klan plank. He was Mayor of his town for several years and is known throughout the States as a courageous opponent of the order. At Underwood headquarters he said, "We estimate that about twenty-five of the Texas delegates are klansmen. From talks with members of the organization I am sure Dr. Evans is here and has a thoroughly centralized outfit, and his advice to his men is to sit tight." "The South is getting tired of the Klan. A new type of man has taken charge of the organization. The person nel has degenerated. When Simmons sold out Klansmen became disgusted, many never attended more than one meeting. "The Klan does not represent one-fourth of the voting population of our State, but by being well organized it plays a significant part in politics. In the next election we will name an anti klan man for Governor that is, if the party here uses the name of the order in a denunciatory plank, so that our own men can be put on guard. "They are an organized minority. Their leaders told them to attend the primary and their opponents were indifferent." Captain Laa asserted that Texas people are beginning to see the kluxers are hurting the reputation of the State and predicts they will cast it out at the first opportunity. FRIENDS OF MAYFIELD ALARMED Friends of Senator Mayfield, now fighting to retain his seat in the Senate, are alarmed for him They contend that if the convention here denounces the order Democratic Senators cannot afford to support him Mr. Mayfield has admitted that he belongs to the order, but that being part of the creed, it is not he'd against him. Testimony before the Senate committee shows he was a member. Senator Mayfield is a delegate at large from Texas and is quartered in ORCES WO ALT OPPOS on on National D on Floor Prompts the Klan Members the Hotel McAlpin, headquarters for the Klan delegates. He held conferences with Klanens today over the threatening situation here. It was said in the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel that he and a bodyguard had visited Chairman Cordell Hull of the Democratic committee tee, but this was denied by Mr. Hull. HOW 20 PROMINENT NE GROES IMPRESSED ME. takes the same attitude. Their argument must be, granted the urgent need for business which is better, hands off on creating and building where others fail. Regardless of the laity's attitude regarding the theologian's financial ability Mr. Hunter and his forces have achieved a greater amount of organization than surface examination would indicate. The policy of the bank as expressed by President Hunter includes that every responsible employee who has not previously done so must further strengthen himself by attending some of the recognized business colleges in Pittsburgh. Although not one whom we would style a dramatic or colful figure, the race must learn to value such a type as the Banking Parson of the Steel City. TWENTIETH PROMINENT PERSONAG Fortune is often opportunely kind to every man. I wanted a metropolitan character to crown my twentieth impression. Being drawn again to Detroit to a regional conference of the Kappa Alpha Psi convention furnished the occasion and the man. It was Dr. W. E. B. DuBois. Though that name had made its ring upon my ears perhaps a thousand times. I had never seen him. But I had read his trenchant grape shot opinions. I, therefore, expected to find a six-footer with a basso profundo cadillac voice, a terror striking visage, a mortal with horns as it were. On the contrary the noted Doctor was ordinary in these things and differed from the average from the inside of his head rather than from the outside figre nature gave him. Although he had just recently returned from abroad and had aimed a cave-man smash at the Sanhedrin and had dropped a heavy bomb upon Sir Marcus Cave; he wore a kind face which I believe is normally so. He weighs about 160; is roughly five feet, seven; and is light brown of skin. The writer was placed upon the stage at his immediate right, evidently too close to make a careful study without crudely gazing into the Dr. face. When called upon to deliver my address on the program I digressed and took the pains to remind Dr. Dubois and the audience that under the auspices of our American Federation of Negro Students he had been named as one of the Ten Greatest Negroes America Has Produced. The speaker who introduced him added to the tribute still more mellifluent and ear-tickling compliments. When Dr. DuBois began his lecture on Africa, instead of graciously dwell upon the oral buques hurled at him, he somewhat similar to the late Booker T. Washington when criticised in Boston, made the briefest acknowledgment that he heard us and plunged into the midst of his long and fruitful address which he delivered without moving an inch upon the platform. I would judge that our DuBois though not formal and stiff is not what we call a good mixer. He has the "down East, Boston" accent. Though lacking the bay-window, he with Dr. Quinland conforms to my preconception of big men. He has raised a very fine saug-fitting goatee. Goatees, like great men are scarce. This rather superficial description setting forth some facts and needs here and there, while mentioning our achieving group merely suggests the scores we might have mentioned. The younger group of us must awaken to the needs of the hour. Even as the intrepid Roman senator closed his every oration with the phrase "And Carthage Must Be Destroyed," the A. F. of N. S. says that indifference and ignorance and lack of preparation among our youth for our economic freedom must be destroyed. Not so much how twenty prominent Negroes impress us as how we grasp the present to impress the future. Next week some of our leading colored schools of the South will be criticized and compared with the large mixed universities of the North. N. A. A. C. P. CONCLAVE N. A. A. C. P. CONCLAVE President Wilson. It can end under Coolidge." Representative Dyer in a fiery attack upon "the most cowardly Republican Senators who have ever been in office" urged colored voters to vote upon the basis of present issues, not the Civil War. He asserted that not by the action of a Republican but through the efforts of a member of the Farmer-Labor Party the case of Walter Cohen had been reconsidered and Mr. Cohen confirmed as Customs Collector at the Port of New Orleans. He charged Senator Pepper of Pennsylvania with giving more attention to the world court than to his colored constituents and de nounced the ku klux klan. "I will not vote for or support," said Mr. Dyer. "for any office, anyone who is a member of or countenances the Ku Klux Klan. If I lived in Indiana I would not vote for the Republican candidate for Governor because he owes his nomination to the Klan." SPINGARN MEDAL TO ROLAND HAYES The Spingarn Medal, it was announced at the N. A. A. C. P. Conference goes this year to the greatest singer of his race Roland Hayes, now triumphantly touring European cities. In Mr Hayes's absence, it was arranged to have the medal presented by Provost Josiah H. Pennman of the University of Pennsylvania to a representative of Mr. Hayes. The Committee making the award consists of Bishop John Hurst, Chairman; Dorothy Canfield Fisher, author of "The Bent Twig," ee James H. Dillard, Director of the Jeanes and Slater Funds; John Hope, President of Morehouse College; Theodore Roosevelt, Assistant Secretary of the Navy; and Dr. W. E. B. Du Boss, Editor of The Crisis. Roland Hayes, to whom the Springarn Medal goes, has achieved unique distinctions, having been hailed by leading critics in Europe and America as one of the greatest of living artists of any race. Born June 3, 1887, at Curryville Georgia, Hayes was working as a stove molder when his voice was discovered by Mr. Calhoun a colored singer, who urged him to study and gave him his first instruction. Rolaf Hayes worked his way through Fiske University, coming North with the Fiske Jubilee Singers and remained to study in Boston, where he gave his first recital in Jordan Hall in 1912. Since then he has toured the countries of Europe as well as the United States achieving new triumphs at each appearance. In April of 1921 he was accorded the honor of being commanded to sing before the King and Queen of England. He has given more than sixteen recitals in England, has sung more than forty times in the salons of Paris and has been soloist with the Boston, Philadelphia and Detroit Symphony Orchestras in the United States. On his present tour of Europe, Mr. Hayes is to appear with Sir Henry Wood's Orchestra in England and will give recitals in Paris, Vienna, Budapest, Prague and other cities of Czecho Slovakia, Hungary and Italy. On his return to America, early in October of this year Mr. Hayes will fill sixty coop cert engagements throughout the United States on a tour which will take him to the Pacific Coast. NEGRO HAS MADE GOOD IN THE NORTH, SAYS JUDGE JAYNE, OF DETROIT CIRCUIT COURT Addressing last night's (Thursday, June 26th) mass meeting of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, now in Fifteenth Annual Conference in Philadelphia Hon. Ira W. Jayne, Judge of the Circuit Court of Detroit, declared that he could prove by established facts from the industrial centers of the North that the Negro migrating from the South had made good in his new environment. Judge Jayne said in part, "Mr. Forrester B. Washington, recently of Detroit, now of the Armstrong Association of Philadelphia, surveyed the situation in Detroit acknowledd one of the centers of this migration. His findings have been accepted as accurate by all elements of the comunity. These have been supplemented by similar reports in other cities. All these figures show the Negro the equal in productive value to any group, the superior of many. In the riveting and moulding industries he has broken production records often, that it is no longer a novelty. "466 firms in Detroit employ 40,000 Negroes, in numbers ranging from 7,500 and 4000 down to 10 at equal pay with whites and under equal working conditions. One-fifth of the Post Office force in Detroit are Negroes. Postmaster John B. Smith says they saved the day for uninterrupted service during the recent wage demoralization. 21,000 Negroes are employed in the steel industry in the Pittsburgh district. No gro workers perform the major work in the stockyards of Chicago. These same statistics show his employment to be as regular his health in the North as good his dependency no more frequent than that of any other racial group. His cheerfulness, once mistaken for laziness, has been recognized as willing loyalty, and what is more important and encouraging still THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Use the Proven Hair Grower HEROLIN POMADE HAIR DRESSING lengthens and straightens the hair, stops falling hair and dandruff and brings new beauty to hair and new health to the scalp.

Declaring that the Negro preferred "seven dollars a day in the North to seven dollars a week in the South" and "ten months equal schooling in the North to two months' slighted schooling in the South," Judge Jayne expressed the hope that the Negro who had come North would stay. "The Negro is a man He is here. He is a working man, respected and respectable. I hope the Negro stays until he has learned all there is to know of this industrial system which is at once our salvation and our despair. I hope the Negro leavens its sordid dulness with that inextinguishable joy and rhythm which have brought him unscarred through the crucible of slavery and degradation. I hope the Negro leavens its selfish greed with his innate loyalty and faithfulness which have always been his even in his reputation among his enemies." JAMES A. COBB DISCUSSES "SE GREGATION IN AMERICAN LAW." DECLARES TESTDENTIAL SEGRET GATION VIOLATES U. S. CONSTITUTION. Speaking at last night's (Friday), June 27th) mass meeting in the Union Baptist Church, 19th and Fitzwater Streets of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, now holding its Fifteenth Annual Conference in Philadelphia. James A. Cobb, former Assistant U. S Attorney for the District of Columbia declared that presidential segregation of colored people was a violation of the federal constitution. Mr. Cobb said in part: "Several years ago there sprung up a veritable epidemic of city ordinances passed to accomplish the purpose of racial discrimination and segregation in the matter of occupancy of homes. Atlanta, Ga.; Louisville, Ky.; Richmond, Va.; Baltimore, Md. and Raleigh, N.C. may be mentioned as typical of the cities which attempted to pass such laws. So flagrant was this attempt to defeat the constitution at rights of citizens that the Courts even of some of Southern States put themselves on record as definitely opposing such legislation. * * * "Mr. Justice Day, delivering the opinion of the Supreme Court of the United States, in the well-considered case of Buchanan vs. Warley, (known as The Louisville Segregation Case) said in part: 'That there exists a serious and difficult problem, arising from a feeling of race hostility which the law is powerless to control, and to which it must give a measure of consideration may be freely admitted. But its solution cannot be promoted by depriving citizens of their constitutional rights and privileges.' And further on in the same opinion he said: 'We think this attempt to prevent the alienation of the property in question to a person of color was not a legitimate exercise of the police power of the State and is in direct violation of the fundamental law enacted in the 14th Amendment of the Constitution, preventing state interference with property rights except by due process of law.' 'Certainly this would appear to be the last word on this question of segregated housing. But now the individual fiat of a group of people, entering into a mutual covenant not to dispose of their land to the people of the Negro race or descent is chosen as a means of doing what the Constitution of the United States and the interpretation by the Supreme Court of the United States, has indicated definitely cannot legally be done. 'If the Constitution does not protect the rights of all citizens, it does not protect the rights of any since it knows no distinction of race or color.'

NEW YORK, N. Y. July 2—Atter the hottest night session since ballo:- | ing began, in whic W. G. McAdoo reached the highest point, 505.9, yet at “tained by any candidate, the Democrat | ic National Convention adjourned ot 11:20 tonight until 10 o’c'ock tomor- row morning. Tonight's session of the Democratic National Convention resulted in the Diggest time yet for McAdoo. ‘The delegations from Missiseippi ‘and Oklahoma both went to him on the first ballot of the ntght—the thir- tyninth of the serles—and Missour'. after a poll, decided to go a.ong. The net results of this was that MicAdoo at tained 499 on that ballot and on the next went over the 500 mark—to 505 12 to be exact. MCADOO FORCES ARE JUBILANT. ‘The McAdoo drive took the convent: lon by surprisa. though the opposition knew of it and prepared for a bis stege. Of course, the McAdoo people ‘went wild at the startling advance of their candidatd following the hamme. ing he received yesterday. They cheer ed, paraded and threw up their hats. ‘The inevitable girl on the shoulders of two men made her appearance and was carried around the hall. ‘The Smith people and the galleries responded with their thumping chorus “Smith, Smith, we want Smith,” and there was ‘a noisy time as the Garden has known. Franklin Roosevelt, sitting in the New York delegation watched the Mc ‘Adoo drive with apparent unconcern. ‘It is not surprising that Mx. Me- doo should ‘have gone to over 500,” |said he, after the fortieth ballot. “They have announced that they could reach |640—I think that was the figure—and jwe are glad to have them throw in |their reserves so that we will know | just what these amount to.” ‘The inference was that the only figure the Smith manager was inter- ested in was the muagical 732—two- thirds of the convention—and_ that there was no apprehension of the Cali- fornia candidate reaching anything Iike that number.
