Coolidge Defends Colored Man in Race for Seat in Congress VOLUME XLI, NO. 39 Coolidge D Colored M for Seati PRESIDENT CALVIN COOLIDGE WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.—President Coolidge, in a letter made public Monday, rebuked Charles F. Gardner of Frot Hamilton, N. Y. for suggesting that the President should exert his influence to prevent the nomination of Charles D. Roberts a colored dentist of the Republican candidate for Congress in the Twenty-first New York City District. The letter indicated that race prejudice would not be tolerated at the White House. President Coolidge's letter reads: August 9, 1924 My Dear Sir: Your letter is received, accompanied by a newspaper clipping which discusses the possibility that a colored man may be the Republican nominee for Congress from one of the New York dis N. A. A. C. P. FIGHTS TEXAS BAR AGAINST RACE IN PRIMARY. The El Paso, Texas branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, has begun a fight against the Texas law which would harm Negroes from voting in the Democratic primary elections of the State. As the Democratic nominee is practically with out exception elected to office in Texas, the primary election is virtually the election for office and the Texas law effectually deprives colored people of their ballot. The N. A. A. C. P. fight is being undertaken against a new law which was enforced at the recent primary of July 26. At that election Dr. L. A. Nixon, a colored citizen of El Paso, and a regular Democrat of many years standing, who had voted in previous Democratic primaries, presented himself at the polls and was denied the privilege of casting his ballot. Dr. Nixon has brought suit for $5,000 damages against election judges C. C. Herndon and Charles Porras. Dr. Nixon's attorneys being F. C. Knollberg a member of the local N. A. A. C. P. and Robert J. Channel. The suit will test the constitutionality of the section of the Texas law debarring Negroes unlawfully or unlawfully injuring mayies, the section reading as follows: All qualified voters under the laws and constitution of the State of Texas who are bona fide members of the Democratic party, shall be eligible to participate in any Democratic primary election, provided such voter complies with rules and laws governing party primary elections. However, in no event will a Negro be eligible to participate in a Democratic primary election, nor in the State of Texas, and should Negro vote in a Democratic primary election, such ballot shall be void and election officers are herein directed to draw out such ballot and not count the vote. This section of the Texas law is held tricts. Referring to this newspaper statement, you say: "It is of some concern whether a Negro is allowd to run for Congress any where, at any time, in any party, in this, a white man's country. Regested ignoring of the growing race problem does not excuse us for allowing encroachments. Temporizing with the Negro whether he will or will not vote either a Democratic or a Republican ticket, as evidenced by the recent turn over in Oklahoma, is contemptible." Leaving out of consideration the manifest impropriety of the President Intruding himself in a local contest for nomination, I am amazed to receive a letter. During the war 500 000 colored men and boys were called up under the draft, not one of whom sought to evade it. They took their places wherever assigned in defense of the nation of which they are just as truly citizens as are any others. The suggestion of denying any measure of their full political rights to such a great group of our population as the colored people is one which, however it might be receiv ed in some other quarters, could not possibly be permitted by one who feels a responsibility for living up to the tra ditions and maintaining the principles of the Republican Party. Our Constitution guarantees equal rights to all our citizens, without discrimination on account of race or color. I have taken my oath to support that Constitution. It is the source of your rights and my rights. I propose to regard it, and administer it, as the source of the rights of all the people whatever their belief or race. A colored man is precisely as much entitled to submit his candidacy in a party primaryXi as is any other citizen. The decision must be made by the constituents to whom he offers himself and by nobody else. You have suggested that in some fashion I should bring influence to bear to prevent the possibility of a colored man being nominated for Congress. In reply, I quote my great predecessor, Theodore Roosevelt. "*** *** I cannot consent to take the position that the door of hope—the door of opportunity—is to be shut upon any man, no matter how worthy, purely upon the grounds of race or color." Yours very truly. —CALVIN COOLIDGE. (Special to the New York Times.) to violate the 15th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States and the federal election statutes.

Mrs. Anna Taylor died at her residence in Washington Park, a suburb of this city Thursday morning. August 7th after a prolonged illness. She was an illiterate woman with rare intellectual attainments and she cultivated the habit of thrift in a manner that brought amazing results from one of her years and opportunities. She was among the first organizers of the Courts of Calanthe and held a deputy-ship until the time of her death. She was a person of strong likes and dislikes. She knew how to value a friend and to appraise an enemy. Although ripe in years, she was still young in intellect. She was a devoted and other Preston Taylor, her husband, who preceded her to the gravest trusted her implicitly. It was with a feeling of of genuine sorrow that the news of her death came. She was one of nature's few gentle women and "after life's fittile fever sleeps well." There are few women today of her kind and type. "Nothing in her life became her like her leaving it." She had run life's race with credit to herself and with honor to those, who were favored to have her tited among their acquaintanceship of friends. She cannot come to us again but we can go to her and down the long cavernous avenue of death, we shall find her waiting to greet us. —JOIN MITCHELL, JR. Mrs. Anna Taylon widow of Preston Taylor died.

(From The Monitor, Omaha, Neb.) Information that must prove gratitude to all right-minded Americans, and we believe them to be in the vast majority, is that, which relates to mob-murder or lynching which is the crying disgrace of our country. The number of lynchings reported for the first six months of this year is five. This is an amazing reduction from that of former years. Of course, this is five too many in any civilized country, but it points hopefully to the fulfillment of the dream of Negro newspapers of this country which were the first, merely "a voice crying in the wilderness" to begin the agitation against lynching Among the outstanding services of the Negro newspaper in the United States has been its persistent agitation and fight for forty years against lynching and mob violence. Gradually its feeble voice was heard and here and there a powerful daily raisee its voice against this infinity. Then came that great organization, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which has consistently, uncompromisingly and scientifically fought lynching for the past decade by a tremendous campaign of publicity and agitation for a federal law. The conscience of the country has been so arused that there has been a steady reduction of lynching in the last few years. It must not be forgotten, however, that the United States and all lovers of America's good name owe a debt of gratitude to the Neo-grope press of the country and to the N. A. A. C. P₄ for their work in redeeming America from this menace and curse. The work is not yet consummated. There must be no cessation in this fight until law and the orderly process of the court shall be enthroned and the lynching of any human being becomes an impossibility in the United States. The fact that the reproach of lynching is being gradually rotten away emphasizes the fact that it pays to fight in a righteous cause. WASHINGTONIANS FETE VIRGIN ISLANDS BAND. (Preston News Service.) WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 7.—In the beautiful Lincoln Colonnade, U. S. Bandmaster Allon A.

A flashlight was taken of the band and the reception committee. After other public concerts in Washington the band departed for Philadelphia, New York and Boston where this excellent aggregation of fine musicians are reported to have won pronounced ovations.

TRAVELERS RETURNING FROM THE British West Indies bring back tales of a gloom which has taken the joy out of the lives of the native West Indians of British declensions; and follow-up reports in this country corroborate the story of unemployment over there and shattered hopes for those who expected to embark for this part of the new world. The unemployment situation, which naught seemed to improve, gave life to expected exodus to the United States and other attractive countries, but the quota system, which places the British West Indian colonies within the allowance for Great Britain, has made it impossible to determine, as yet, just what proportion of the British quota of 34,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1925, will be allocated to the British West Indian colonies. To offset this difficulty, many of the natives prepared to depart for South America and Cuba, but poor steamship facilities have made it beyond belief to hope that the 3,500 natives, who desire to quit the Indies during the present year, will be able to emigrate. This condition, coupled with the normal unemployment situation, foretells a season of idleness, low wages, and inconveniences, if not suffering, for many hundreds of the sturdy West Indians, who are thoroughly able, under ordinary circumstances, to hold their own in any kind of company. Notwithstanding local prejudices, which ought to be rubbed out, West Indians have contributed much to this country's advancement, and it is to be hoped that the quota system may soon determine West Indian eligibles to citizenship in the United States, in order that desirables may be free to join their fellow countrymen here and give helpful assistance to the universal problem confronting the dark peoples of the world. ```markdown ``` DR. ERNEST LYON, LIBERIAN CONSUL General at Baltimore, is quoted as saying that "no person or persons leaving the United States under the auspices of the Garvey movement, will be allowed to land in the Republic of Liberia," and that "all Liberian consuls in the United States are instructed and directed not to vise the passports of any persons leaving the United States for Liberia under the direction of that (Garvey) movement." This decision, it is reported, has been made to prevent the Garvey expedition from making an attempt to supplant the constitutional regime of President King, of Liberia, and, if it is enforced, bespeaks an era of non-use for the Fordson tractors, agricultural implements, water filtration plant and sawmill now enroute to Liberia for the 300 men and women who, it is said, would make up the expedition scheduled to sail in October, 1924, under the supervision of the intrepid Marcus Garvey, who is again in the toils of the law for an alleged misrepresentation of his income. Thus a new angle of the so-called back-to-Africa movement has unveiled itself; and it comes from an unexpected source. Everybody was cut and dried for difficulties which might arise from the European nations which have rich holdings in the dark continent, and nearly all of us have been wondering just how Africa could be redeemed within the law of man and of money. But no one dreamed that little Liberia, the proposed prospective home for freed Negro slaves, back in the days of President Monroe, would hoist the red lantern which will apparently stand-off a Garvey redemption. Here it is, though, and with it comes another reaction which causes us to feel as we've always felt,—that there's something radically wrong with the back-to-Africa project. ```markdown ``` THE LEOPARD CANNOT CHANGE HIS spots, but the lion can lash his tail; and, according to quotations from the literary market, Rev. Thomas Dixon, author of "The Leopard's Spots," and "The Klansman," shares this belief along with us; for the learned writer and erstwhile preacher, it is said, recently condemned the present-day Klan, saying: "I am opposed to the present-day Ku Klux Klan because I believe it a menace to American democracy. The disguise is a dangerous weapon in the hands of many irresponsible and reckless people and a lawless phase of an organization which politically might do a whole lot of good." If this man of God is correctly quoted, he fears a lashing of the lion's tail, and, like the zealous Samaritan who took a baby lion and reared it, as a pet, only to become its victim after it became full-sized, Rev. Dixon has become surcharged with fear, lest his literary play creature should become too much of a stomach-full for him. Stranger things than this have happened, and Rev. Dixon is to be congratulated upon his new realization. It is not too late for him to turn his pen to a more useful service than that to which he has applied it in the past. With anthropologists admitting the identity of white Indians, it may be that extended research might bring white Africans to light; or, who knows but that facts might be evolved to prove the existence of black Caucasians or brown "Nordics" a la Klan. The weaving threads of human history are making many a scientist loony with new theories. But the theory of God and of Adam and of Eve seems to be holding its own. And attful writers like Rev. Dixon, who have forsaken their professions to mould an opinion adverse to that moulded by Christ in His sermon on the "Mount" have ample time to retrace their steps and contribute more to the theory of the God of Love and Justice, rather than the idols of racial hatred and supremacy.

Over of the National Baptist Convention, unincorporated issues a statement from Kansas City, Mo., under date of August 7th, in which he makes assertions in no wise conducive to peace between the two national Baptist bodies. We are gratified to observe though that the utterances accredited to him did not emanate from the officials of that influential body. He criticises the utterances accredited to President L. K Williams in an address at the Jubilee meeting of the Virginia Baptists at Lynchburg recently. The distinguished churchman is reported to have said: "The incorporated brethren have done all that they ever will do to bring the two factions of the Church together." It seems to us that the two bodies can at least "agree to disagree" and each organization can go its way in peace. Where the differences are fundamental this is the only safe, sane and proper thing for them to do. Giles B. Jackson is dead. With his passing, the last chapter in the life of one of the most remarkable colored men in this State is written. He struggled "from the gutter," so to speak by his own efforts to a position of eminence and renown. He built up a peculiar practice both in law and in statesmanship and made a living and earned a salary that most men might envy. He had some friends among colored people and many enemies, and some enemies among white people and many friends but those friends that he had were bound to him as with "hoops of steel." He was popular among southern white people and few colored men of the Southland were so well known as he appeared to be. He was a powerful, persuasive orator and he always had his subject well in hand and his plans worked out to a nicety, before he advanced an idea or wrote a line. He was brainy, witty, skillful, resourceful, energetic and determined. In later years, he joined the Baptist Church and basked in the "sunshine of the Lord." It is needless to say that his place cannot be filled. He has not trained a living soul to take his place. What he learned came from rugged experience, hard times and scanty living. His white friends were devoted to him and they stood by him in the midst of all adversity. He made enemies at times and he fought them with all the power that God had given him. He possessed a remarkable vitality to the end. 'Some time, in the better land, we shall understand.' A QUESTION OF COLOR. Bishop George Alexander McGuire, former Rector of St. Philips P. E. Church of this city, but now Bishop and founder of the African Orthodox Church has attracted much attention by declaring that God and Christ are black. This is no new theory. The late Col. Joseph T. Wilson, author r of the Black Phalanx took this view of the sit- uation. Bishop McGuire explains the sit- uation in a most reasonable manner when he says: "Of course." "God is not a Negro. A spirit is nothing physical. But in one's prayers one must vision some one to listen, and we can think only of some one in human form. I had had the picture in my wind of a white God. Now came the picture of a black God. Oh when I say my prayers I would rather say them to a great patriarchal Negro to a white man!" "And Jesus, the God, is not black; nor is His mother, the Spirit. But when I picture them, too I want to picture them as black—together with me in the image and likeness of my God. "There is no doubt, however accruing to the genealogies of Jesus given in the New Testament, that He had black blood in His veins. In addition to the blood of Shem, He had also the blood of Ham. The Scriptures bear record that Tamar, the mother of Pharez, and Rahab, mother of Boaz, were Canaanites, Canaan being the fourth son of Ham. From Pharez and Rahab runs the pedigree of Christ. 'And since by the standards set up by white men one drop of Negro blood makes a man a Negro, if Christ with this known pedigree were living today in Dixie the color line would be drawn against Him.' This then explains the whole situation. It conforms to the New Testament, John IV, 24th verse: God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth. We shall note with interest the result of Bishop McGuire's labors along these lines. He is building a Church, which will increase in power and influence. We are interested in know whether or not white people are admitted to membership and if so, if they have the same chance of advancement ecclesiastically as is given those communicants of a darker hue. SWINGING THE OTHER WAY. The pendulum is swinging the other way for the Negro in the Southland if we are to judge by certain happenings and by the outspoken attitude of certain white people, whose attitude cannot be mistaken and whose utterances cannot be questioned or denied. They belong to citizenship of the higher order and their spoken and written words can be logically accepted as the gospel of truth. These thoughts came to us after reading the comment of the editor of the Richmond, Va., Times-Dispatch upon the action of that brilliant Assistant Attorney General of Virginia, Hon. Leon M. Bazile in joining in recommending to His Excellency, E. Lee Trinkle, Governor Virginia that a colored man-charged with the murder of a white one that a reprieve be granted in order that Attorney William F. Denny might have the time to secure another attorney to take the place of Hon. Josiah D. Hank, who expired suddenly, before he could complete the brief for an appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States, alleging that the failure to have colored men on the jury constituted a vital error, where the life of the prisoner at the bar was at stake and a demand had been made for the granting of the same. the merits or demerits relative to the guilt or innocence of the accused are not involved in this issue. It is a question of law, which the distinguished counsel representing the State is willing to have passed upon by a higher tribunal. The other case in point is the action of the Richmond Chamber of Commerce in recognizing the death of a colored citizen of this community, who was not a member of that body and in fact under its rules and custom could not be and yet for the first time in its history passed resolutions expressive of its sorrow over his demise, Giles B. Jackson was well known by Hon. William T. Dabney, Manager of that great organization and enjoyed his absolute confidence. They were as one. We take it that it was his "fine Italian hand" that wrought this "miracle" as a tribute to his black friend. Southern white men have been noted for this kind of action, but they have usually acted in an individual capacity. That the influential Richmond body should have acted in this capacity will attract nation-wide interest. The Richmond Times-Dispatch speaks of Northerners who bemoan the injustices inflicted upon the Negroes. They will be all right, when they learn that there is a division among the white people of the South just as there is a division among the white people of the North. Tens of thousands of white people prefer Negroes and association with them within prescribed limits. They are the colored people's best friends and frequently aid them in a thousand unseen ways. Some times, they stand out in the open as has been done in this case. We have recollections of the Simon Walker case, wherein Gov. Fitzhugh Lee saved a fifteen year old co.ored boy from the gallows, the Lunenburg Case, wherein Gov. Charles T. O'Ferrall mustered the troops of the commonwealth to save these hapless Negro prisoners from lynching being guided in his action by one of the most distinguished Attorney Generals that has ever occupied that position. We prefer to the father of the present able jurist, R. Carter Scott. of the Circuit Court of this city. The Supreme Court of this State came to the rescue of the prisoners for "the first and last time" in the judicial history of the commonwealth, took bodily possession of the prisoners in order to prevent the lynching. All of these things were done by southern white men of the better class and it led us to indulge in the expression many years ago—all of the justice that we could not secure from the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia, we were willing to go without THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA MR. DAVIS SPEAKS PLAINLY. Hon. John W. Davis, Democratic presidential nominee delivered his speech of acceptance at Clarksburg West Virginia, Monday, August 11th, 1924. It was an able presentation of the subject, and a complete review of his views and attitude, relative to all important national questions. He devoted some time to the task of establishing the fact that his legal connection with the John P. Morgan interests had, been completely severed and that he was accordingly "foot loose and fancy free," so far as his previous connections and entanglements with "big business" is concerned. He alleges that the people have lost confidence in the Government, but he fails to emphasize the fact that the lack of confidence is extended to any Government. It is closely akin to the story told of an Irishman, who had been in the country long enough to cast his first vote. He was asked how he wanted to vote, His reply was "Agin the Government." He had learned to have an antipathy to the Government of Great Britain and so, no matter where he migrated, he was "agin the Government." The charges of corruption with reference to governmental affairs was as rife during the administration of President Woodrow Wilson as they were during the administration of President Warren G. Harding. It is needless to speak of President Calvin Coolidge from the fact that the men and the officials, who have been lambasted most were appointees of another administration. It is also a fact that the plan now is to adjudge men guilty first and to try and convict them afterwards. This is repugnant to free institutions but when political campaigns are in the offing conditions are reversed and fundamental principles either ignored or forgotten. Mr. Davis says: No matter how loty the ideals or how pure the purpose of any party, the country is not served unless it possesses both the will and the power to carry those ideals and purposes into effect. When it becomes a leaderless and incoherent mob* it must give way to some rival better fitted for the task on government. Need I dwell on the picture that the last twelve months present! On one side the Executive, on the other the members of his party in both houses of Congress, seeking different aims; entertaining different views; advocating different measures. What else could Mr. Davis and the people of the United States expect, when the leader of the Republican Party was stricken down by the hand of death and a substitute elevated to his position and that substitute has not as yet had the opportunity to launch an administration in his own right and to surround himself with a corp of officers of his own selection. Certainly the ordinary rules of fair play would call for the according to him of an opportunity to show just what he can do and this will come only with his election next November to the position, which he now occupies. Mr. Davis overlooks the fact that the Democratic Party has not given the people of this country the idea that it possesses the cohesiveness and the unity of purpose, which he elogizes. Visions of the scenes in the Democratic nominating convention held recently in New York City dissipates and eliminates the idea that the Democratic administration, which he hopes will succeed the Coolidge management of affairs will do even as well as the one, which he criticises. It is admitted that the nomination came from a leaderless mob. It was only by the retirement of many of the original delegates, who came to attend that body that a firm foundation was secured and one of the most brilliant Democrats in the country was finally selected to head the ticket. Mr. Davis boldly announces that he is in favor of the League of Nations. In this statement alone, he will find many of the leading members of his Party in strict disagreement with him. President Calvin Coolidge is openly opposed to this same foreign organization. Hon. John W. Davis promises, though to obey the mandates of the people in this respect and President Coolidge agrees to do the same thing. In his discussion of racial and religious intolerance, the nominee is especially strong. The essence of it all is summed up in these words: to my hands will fall, when I am elected) the power to appoint thousands of persons to office under the Federal Government. When that time arrives I shall set up no standard of religious faith or racial origin as a qualification for any office. My only query concerning any appointee will be whether he is honest, whether he is competent, whether he is faithful to the Constitution. No selection to be made by me will be dictated, inspired or influenced by the race or creed of the appointee. Believing him to mean all and exactly what he says, we are free to say that the colored people of this country have absolutely nothing to fear from a statesman of the john W. Davis type. His language is clear and emphatic. Let us hope that the mismatic atmosphere now so prevalent from a race prejudice viewpoint in Washington may not affect this distinguished American to such extent as to cause him should he be elevated to the presidential office to forget the full import and effect of all that he was bold enough to say. COL. GILES B. JACKSON COL. GILES B. JACKSON formed his friends that he thought it was gone. Then he had another attack at home and narrowly escaped with his life. WARNED OF DANGER. He remained at home for six weeks, many not knowing that he had returned to the city. He was again warned on the danger, but he improved so rapidly that he went to his office and began work again. Then on last Monday night he had a severe attack. His family depaired of his recovery. Dr. Early was called and ministered to him, with the result that the paroxysm passed away. He felt so much better that he insisted upon going to his office last Tuesday morning for a brief stay. INTERESTED IN THE BANK. It was from there that he talked to Editor John Mitchell. Jr, over the telephone and he was to confer with him about a matter concerning the Mechanics Bank on Wednesday. That night about 10 o'clock, he had another attack. Dr. Early again responded. It was soon checked and about 3 o'clock he again suffered from an attack. He went into the bathroom and upon coming out walked around the room, saying that he had a pain about the heart, HIS LAST MOVEMENT. He sank into a chair, throw his head back and expired. Funeral Director A. D. Price was notified and the work of embalming the body began. His funeral will take place today 3 P. M. from the Ebenezer Baptist Church. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE NOTES COL. JACKSON'S DEATH. (Richmond) Va., Times Dispatch, August 14, 1924. For the first time in its history the Chamber of Commerce of Richmond yesterday afternoon took cognizance of the death of a citizen who was not member of its body and adopted resolutions expressing its sorrow. More unusual still is the circumstance that the man of whom the resolutions recite that 'his passing is a heavy blow to this city in which he has spent his entire life' was a colored citizen. This signal mark of respect was paid to the memory of Giles B. Jackson, lawyer, who died at his residence, 818 North Fourth Street, yesterday morning at 4 o'clock, aged 70 years. Following is the text of the resolutions, which were adopted by the executive committee of the chamber of commerce at a special meeting called at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon, there being present Julien H. Hill chairman; Robert S. Crump and Coleman Worham: "Be it resolved, That the news of the sudden death of Giles B. Jackson has been received with deep sorrow by the Richmond Chamber of Commerce and we feel that his passing is a heavy blow to his city in which he had spent his entire life. "His work for harmony between the white and colored races and his indifferentable efforts for the material advancement of the colored people will stand as an enduring monument to his memory. His efforts for the co-operation and friendship of the two races were recognized nationally and gave him at all times a ready audience with his friends among the white people in every station and walk of life. "In his profession of law, he acquitted himself with great credit and earned the respect of the bar. "Born and raised in the South and himself an example of the encouragement lent to those of his race who are ambitious to stand for what is best in the community. he practiced and preached the value of the friendship of the white race. "His influence should be lasting and his example emulated." DANCE FLOOR FALLS INTO LAKE MANY HURT; FOUR KILLED. (Preston News Service) NEWARK, OHIO.

A resolution that since the Republican party in Indiana "has seemed to have chosen the open road with the klukt klukt" there is nothing for the Negro voters to do but hunt up a new crowd of political friends, was adopted by the executive committee of the National Negro Press here. The resolution advises the Indiana Negro to make a finish fight on the klan issue and to stand by those who stand by them. In a burning speech Mevin J. Chisum declared: "atlough we are all Republicans, we have found during our stay in Indiana that practically all of our Republican friends in the state are affiliated with the klan, and for that reason I urge my people to cast their party affiliation aside in the coming campaign and vote against the organization."

SOUTHERN WHITE WANTS GREGATION IN JAIL; RIOT RAHWAY, N. J. Aug. 14—Following an investigation as to the cause of the rioting at the New Jersey State Ro formatory here last week, it appears, according to the report that a certain southern white man who is said to have done time in Leavenworth was the king leader in the trouble. His leadership was to the effect that the riot was the result of a fight between the colored and white factions of the institution on the ball field Monday evening preceding the fatal rioting Officials of the investigation commission say that they are convinced the rioting was the result of racial feeling in the institution and that the blame for the affair could be laid on the group of ring laders indicated by the testimony of the guards and some of the inmates. A former service man with a Fort Leavenworth record, is believed to have started the agitation to have the colored boys to eat separately from the white group. Officials of the institution want the ring leaders sent to the State penitentiary at Trenton. VIRGIN ISLAND COMMISSION'S REPORT READY FOR MAILING WASHINGTON, D.

Aug. 14.—Tiger Flowers, sensational Atlanta middleweight fighter, scored his sixth brilliant victory before Gotham fight fans here Saturday night when he stopped Jack Townsend Chicago middleweight, in the eleventh round of a scheduled 12 round fight. Flowers was outweighed 23 pounds. No fighter Eastern promoters have been able to secure has been able to successfully combat the Georgia southpaw, Harry Greb, world's middleweight champion, accompanied by his manager, "Red" Mason was present but left before the match ended. Greb is matched with Flowers for a titular tilt in Freeport, Ohio on August 14th. On leaving Greb refused to make a statement when several friends among the boxing fraternity asked for an opinion on his coming opponent's ability. GREBB LEAVES. When Greb deserted the ringside the sixth round had rolled by and Townsend, much the larger man was then punch-drunk from a two-handed pasting. Once before the end of the sixth and twice later in the match Townsend hit Flowers after the bell rang. He fought as though he desired rather to use on a foul than any other way. Only a week ago Townsend won from George Godfrey, the sensational Phila adelphia heavyweight, and for that reason he was accorded an excellent chance to beat Flowers. OWNSEND BADLY CUT Flowers began fast with the opening bell and continued to carry the fight to his man throughout at all times keeping in the lead. Townsend's offense was rendered nil because of Flowers' marked aggressiveness and Townsend's defense was blank from the sixth on because his two eyes were nearly closed, and he staed to his corner at the end of every round, bleeding from the mouth and nose and from the left ear, which was badly cut. Harlem fans had come to regard Townsend a coming heavyweight champion contender. Flowers made an egg out of him and frapped that egg in to a chocolate frosting. The whole works caved in in the eleventh when Townsend failed to rally from an unmerciful tenth round beating, and could not put up his hands when the two men came out to begin the round. Then his seconds threw up the sponge and Flowers had won his sixth start here. It was on Flowers' New York campaign that the Atlantan proved his worth as a top contender for Harry Greb's title.

(Baltimore Afro-American.) Sister H. P. Harrell, white, faith healer, who has been conducting a series of meetings at the Douglass Theatre, left Sunday to open a series of similar meetings at a white Pentacostal Church on Lombard Street.

Junius Gray co-operated with the police and discussed ways and means of closing the meetings. Anthony Johnson, 613 N. 57th Street Philadelphia, who declared he is a former employee of the faith healer, says he doesn't believe in her powers because Rev.

BRITISH SCIENTIST SEES POWER OF NORDIC THREATENED. (Special by N. A. A. C. P. Press Service.) NEW YORK. Aug. 14—Speaking before the British and the American Associations for the Advancement of Science in Toronto, Canada, Dr. J. W. Gregory, president of the British Association, yesterday forecast loss of political power by the white race owing to increase in population of the colored races of the world. Dr. Gregory is quoted by the New York Times as saying that the white race has, attempted to rule and administer too much of the world's territory, one-third of the world's population (the whites) ruling eight-ninths of the habitable land of the globe. "During the last century," Dr. Gregory is quoted as saying, 'and especially since the development of railway and storm navigation after 1840 the whole of America all Africa except Abyssinia and Liberia, all Australia, and all Asia, with the exception of China, Japan and Siam have fallen under the control of European people. . . . . . . During the past half century the unprecedent enticed increase' the white race has been exceeded by that of the colored people. Increase disparity in numbers means, in a democratic age, an inevitable transfer of power, while the former prestige of the white man has been undermined by his own beneficent rule Alike in war and peace the person all authority which the white man held in 1900 has undergone a momentous decline." For the United States Dr. Gregory predicted, in a space of perhaps 100 years, the increased migration of Southern Europeans intothe Southern States and the intermarriage of these people with Negroes, which would make it iv possible for the South to continue to refuse political rights to colored people One possibility suggested by Dr. Gregory was the eventual formation of a colored free state, in the Southwestern part of the United States.

MEMPHIS TENN. Aug. 14—In a passionate address before the local Rottertian club W. R. Satterfield declared "the alluvial lands of the South need white people who have home building as their chief aim in life. There are no schools in our country teaching the younger generations to go back to the farms and earn a living with their own hands, therefore, the South must give her attention to the desirable whites of Europe." In his address Mr. Satterfield told of the work of the Southern Alluvial Land Association had been doing in presenting the cause to the world. He said this association had been particularly successful in providing a clause in the recent immigration act which will allow the South to select a reasonable number of desirable European immigrants. He pointed out the lack of interest the Negdoes show in home building and also exodus of large numbers of young Negro men to northern industrial centers as well as the general tendency of Negroes to leave the farms and go to the cities and towns. This phase of the situation according to Mr. Satterfield gives the South a perplexing problem. He said there is too much valuable land not under cultivation at present and the general tendency is that more of it will be neglected unless some drastic measures are taken.

Tabloid Magazine Meeting Mr. Wright--Woman Hater. 81X --- I dressed leisurely and with unusual care. I always enjoyed getting into my filmy silken underthings. Then I stood and surveyed my evening frocks. I decided that I would choose the most sophisticated of them all. I decided on an orchid geogette, starred with rhinestones that glistened like fireflies as I moved. A scarf of violet tulle with wispy ostrich ends and a bandeau of brilliants for my bob completed my attire. Marjorie had said that Curtiss Wright, who was dining with my father, was an impenetrable person who disliked all modern girls. It did not make the slightest difference to me what Mr. Wright thought, but the challenge from Marjr was too much for my pride. I heard Johnson let them in the front door and then voices in the hall. First I had thought of letting them find me curled up cozily on the chaise-longue in the sun-parlor, yet maybe that pose would be too suggestive of the clinging vine. So I decided to burst in on them. Besides, walking down the steps that led into the living room was always effective. I had tried it, with satisfactory results, before. "Sallie!" exclaimed Father, rising and coming forward, "this is a pleasure seldom bestowed upon your dating old Dad. I am especially glad that you decided to grace the table to-night because I have brought Mr. Wright home." He turned to the tall, immaculately groomed person standing at his side. 宏宏宏 "Wright, this is my daughter." The guest bent low over my hand, with an air that was courty, but the exaggeration of the movement was tinged with satire. "Oh, I say, Wright, would you like a drink?" Father broke in at the wrong moment. "I've some excellent whiskey, or maybe you'd prefer a little rum." Mr. Wright accepted and they moved over to Father's corner cabinet. In a moment Johnson appeared, in answer to Father's summons, with the interesting paraphernalia for making highballs. I felt the need of a little boost myself, after the drinks I had had with Ted the night before, and must have looked longingly, for while Father was fussing around the table. Mr. Wright came over to me. "Are you joining us?" he inquired in a low voice. "Father would pass out of the picture if I did," I answered, "but I certainly need something to pick me up." "Can you suggest any way that I might be of service?" Although he was perfectly gallant in his faultless manner, I felt that he was laughing at me. "Oh, it isn't a matter of life or death!" I said flippantly. "I guess I can survive." I turned toward the radio and in a minute the room was flooded with the soft melody of a hushed orchestra playing a fox-trot. "Good, Sallie, we'll have music with our meals," father said jovially coming over to me and pinching my cheek. "Wright, she's a mighty fine little girl." I was furious with Father and for the first time in my life, his "hittle girl" attitude irritated me beyond words. He might just as well have stripped off my dashing evening gown and clothed me in a pinafore—I hated to be made ridiculous in the eyes of Mr. Wright, whose whole manner stamped him as a man of the world. Dinner was announced. I was glad I had used candles for they create an interesting atmosphere. I can remember my mother having often said that any woman was more alluring in their radiance and that many romances were born under their faint and mellow glow. "What's the program for tonight?" "What's the program for tonight?" Father asked. "A dance at the Willow Branch Club, Alma Davis' dance for her When Edmund Carter Whitney was born on Castle Street in Boston, where Brigham's cremery now stands, he was the thirteenth child. The family was exceedingly poor. Eddie, as he was called, was practically given away. A man named Symms in Lancaster, Mass., "took" Eddie and started to make a farmer out of him. Begging piteously for a chance at some sort of clerical life Symms took Eddie to the town's Savings Bank and got him a job as errand boy. In his spare time he helped the Chief of the Fire Department, the Postmaster and the Board of Selectmen. On summer mornings he drove a milk wagon after first milking Symms's corn. When Eddie was ARITIES HAPPENINGS e's ions By GRADY'S BAKER Right--Woman Hater. visitor. Then later I'm hoping that some of the crowd will go to Gong's and get chow mein." "Sallie, dear," Father began, "do you think you should be going about to these funny Chinese places at all hours of the night? I saw where a chop-suey house was raided a few nights ago because, as the paper had it, some of the 'society buds and their escorts had been going there and smoking opium in search of a new thrill.' I know the place you go couldn't be anything like that and of course there's always a chaperone.' "Certainly, Father, and hoop skirts! For they go hand-in-hand." "Why, Sallie, what do you mean?" demanded Dad. Before replying I noticed that Mr. Wright, though he had remained silent, was interested in the conversation. "Just exactly that, dear old forge. Chaperones aren't good this season—we aren't a bunch of kids, you know, Father, and we are perfectly capable of taking care of ourselves." It wasn't often that I talked so plainly to Dad, but I was determined that Mr. Wright should not be under the impression that I was a child. "Sallie, Sallie, of course I trust you, my dear," agreed Father. "I expect you to use your own good judgment about suh things, only please use discretion. Please don't misunderstand me, now, daughter. I know you do none of the things we hear grossed about town." "As a rule, most of that is propaganda inaugurated by reformers who are past the age of being tempted themselves, don't you think?" suggested Mr. Wright. Whether he thought so or not it was the polite thing, at that moment for him to have said.

Coconut matting should be well beaten, scrubbed with warm water and salt, rinsed, and then hung in the open air to dry. Windows—When windows are hard to open, rub the cords with soft soap and the sashes will run smoothly. Onions—When cooking onions a little vinegar placed on the stove in an earthen jar will prevent the smell getting through the house. Adhesive Tape—To remove adhesive tape from the skin, saturate a sponge with benzine, wash the tape with it, and it can be pulled off without any trouble. Meringue—If a teaspoonful of water is added after the sugar is beaten in, your meringue will be very light: A pinch of baking powder added while beating is also very good. Starch—If a few, shavings of candle are added to starch, the clothes will shine and be very easily ironed. Mahogany—If washed with vinegar or cold tea, all spots will disappear and mahogany will look like new. Sink—If a lump of kitchen salt is kept in the sink, it will keep the pipes and sink clean. Enamel Utensils—When enamel kitchen utensils appear hopelessly ruined after food has been burned in them, place a mixture of strong soap powder in them and allow to stand three or four days without changing the water. Then pour the water off and rub with a soft cloth. All the blackness will disappear: Do not scrape before soaking as the enamel will crack. Yarns—Yarns can be thoroughly shrunk when in the skins, and then will not shrink when the article made from it is washed. Place the wool in a vegetable steamer on a plate. When dry, it will be soft and fluffy, and will be unshrinkable. Women Outside the Home Miss Ann R.

THREE AGES OF BARBARISM. STONE, BRONZE, IRON. This is the political stage of "rosy reports." They pour in on La Follette, Davis and Coolidge. Coolidge is told that Ohio, Iowa and Kansas are already his. Davis is told that with the South and New York, Massachusetts, Illinois, etc., he is ELECTED NOW. La Follette's followers say they have "twenty-five States sure." The "rosy" days are pleasant, only some one is sure to be disappointed. The Government has ordered a group of flying machines that can travel through the air, on the water and on land. Only one step remains, the amphibian and submersible flying machine pulling in its wings and becoming a submarine. That will come also. John R. Voorhis, oldest office-holder, aged ninety-five, predicts a woman President. She will come, but rat in fifty years. Many women in the United States would make President's better than any, with two exceptions, since Thomas Jefferson. But man, proud man, dressed in a little brief authority, will take a long time to get over his SUPERIORITY COMPLEX. Men of low intelligence sincerely believe that they are in some mysterious way woman's superior, and such men decide Presidential elections. If a woman becomes President before 1980, it will be through promotion of a Vice-President. That might happen within a generation. The world really is becoming a small place. American fliers, coming home by the shortest route, put on Arctic clothing as they left England. The hop was from England to Greenland, and then they will be getting Summer things ready for their joyous, triumphant landings in warm America. "Around the world in eighty days" was a fairy story. Around the world six days or less will be REALITY, before 2000 A. D. The scientific world notes the discovery in France of a new anaesthetic called "sommifaire". With no other effects this anaesthetic makes possible the longest operations. It is injected into the blood, causes the patient to remain half conscious for thirty hours, which is excellent for major operations. It is hard to believe as you read of scientific methods for avoiding pain that when anaesthetics were first used they were savagely denounced as works of the devil. Earnest preachers declared that God WANTED us to suffer and it was a sin to thwart His divine will Joseph Greenberg, of New York, will return to his home with new knowledge of this country and greater respect for the size of Texas. He left Brooklyn in a little automobile to bring his son back from "somewhere in Texas," and told his wife he would be gone "about three days." He will be surprised to find it will take him about as long to cross Texas as to cross all the rest of the American continent. When you've entered Texas on one side and come out on the other, you have covered almost half the distance from ocean to ocean. When historians write of the three great periods of barbarous development, the stone age, bronze age and iron age, they will say: "The full industrial development of the iron age, resouched at about the year 2,000 of the period humorously called 'the Christian Era,' may perhaps be called the beginning of civilization. "Men had developed faint ideas of right and wrong. But while they had begun to leave their great fortunes to education and science instead of seeking to bribe their deity and buy eternal bliss for their own worthless souls, they retained the worst features of earlier barbarism. The discoveries of science in chemistry and physics were used for war murder on a gigantic scale. "The dregs of the race committed murder with their own hands. The so-called upper classes lived in shameful luxury, utterly different to poverty, disease and ignorance around them. They even herded young children of the poor into factories and mills, grinding them into profits for their own use. "On the whole, that culminating period of the iron age was inferior in dignity and decency to the stone age." Respite Comes to Death Cell Occupant on Eve of Execution. CHANCE FOR LIFE SLIM Carrying Out of Sentence Stayed Pending Further Legal Step. Thursday night was to have been the last night on earth of Bossy Patterson At dawn Friday morning he was to have been led to the ghastly chair whose embrace is as fatal (albeit more merciful) as the hug of the Iron Malden of the Inquisition. And those who think themselves tired of life should be permitted to look in on Bossy this morning, to see how sweet is life, even though the world be an 8x10 cage, and the sky a sheet of metal four feet above one's head. Just room enough for a cot and the spectre of the Chair. Bossy's execution has been stayed until October 10th. Governor Trinkle granted the reprieve at the instance of Leon M. Bazile, Assistant Attorney-General. Patterson, colored, was sentenced to death for the murder of a Petersburg merchant. He appealed and a writ of error was granted. At the second trial his lawyer raised the point that refusal to allow Negroes to sit on the jury was a discrimination against the race. The second jury also brought in a death penalty. A second appeal was taken on the point cited and before the Supreme Court Mr. Bazille contended successfully that the question had not properly been raised. The date of Patterson's execution was set for August 8th. Friends of his interested the late J. D. Hank in the case. Mr. Hank informed Mr. Bazile that he intended taking it to the United States Supreme Court. Two days later Mr. Hank died suddenly at his home here. And Mr. Bazile took the position that Patterson shouldn't be denied his slim chances for life because his attorney died before completing his work. (Richmond, Va., Times-Dispatch August 8th.) THE CASE OF "BOSSY." (Richmond, Va., Times-Dispatch-) Our northern brothers who mourn and bemoan the injustices inflicted upon the colored people of the South, by the heartless descendants of those who were once slaveholders might do well to consider the case of "Bossy" Patterson, a Negro twice convicted of wurder in Virginia. According to a plain, uncolored news story published in The TimesDispatch of Friday, Bossy was tried on the charge of having killed a merchant of Petersburg; he was found guilty and sentenced to death. His counsel appealed and a writ of error was granted. On the second trial, he was again convicted and sentenced to death; but his suit was alleged as error that Negroes were not permitted to sit as jurors. Anone, appeal was taken, this time on that point. The Assistant Attorney-General of Virginia, Leon M. Bazile, contended that the point had not been properly raised. His contention was sustained by the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia, and the Negro remained under sentence of death—he was to have been electrocuted on August 8. There the case might well have rested—even in some of the Northern States whose people so bitterly condemn the Southern people for inhumanity toward Negroes. But it happened that Josiah D. Hank, an eminent virginia lawyer, had become interested in Bossy's case, and had announced to the Assistant Attorney-General his intention to appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States. No formal motion had been made, no step had been taken not even any formal notification had been given the Assistant Attorney-Genial, when Mr. Hank suddenly died. According to every technicality, Bossy should have been put to death on Friday; he had been sentenced to death, the Supreme Court of Virginia had sustained the lower court, and his counsel had merely declared informally that he purposed appealing to the Supreme Court of the United States. But the Governor of Virginia has reprived Bossy until October 6th, because the Assistant Attorney-General of Virginia has informed him that if Bossy's counsel had lived he would have appealed to the highest court in the United States, and because both the Governor and the Assistant Attorney-General are intensely desirous that this Negro, convicted of murder though he is, shall have every possible chance for his life. That is the way in which we of the South display our hatred of the Negro and our inhumanity toward him. It is wondered if the Governor and Attorney General of Connecticut or Vermont or Massachusetts, say, would display their love and tender feeling of equality in the same way. CONDITIION SERIOUS. Frank Lipscomb, colored, seriously wounded in a shooting fray Sunday afternoon, when a bullet intended for another person lodged in his abdomen was reported by St. Phillips' Hospital authorities to be in a serious condition last night. A colored man by the name of Davis is being sought by the police, as the person who fired the shot. It is said that another colored man by the name of Edgar Phillips and Davis, had been ourrelling. NO CLUE IN SHOOTING CASE. Two Negroes Are Mortally Wounded From Ambush. DANVILLE, VA, Aug. 14—County authorities today admitted inability to clear the mystery in the shooting Satur day night near Bachelor's Hall of William Winstead and Scott Winstead, colored, both lying at the point of death with gunshot wounds. Magistrate R. S. Pitts quotes each as saying they were fired on by unknown persons while passing Callahan's Store in an automobile early Sunday, but they do not know who shot them. Last Thursday both men were fined $10 for making imperfect remarks to Howard Hardy, white road boss working near Bachelor's Hall. So far, the authorities assert no chance to the assailants has been secured. Everett Jones, colored, of 615 North Thirtieth Street was knocked down and Thirtieth Street, was knocked down and injured yesterday by a trolley car said to have been operated by W. A. Johnson. Jones was treated by a city ambulance doctor and sent home. Police arrested Johnson on a technical charge of care lessly operating the car.

As the national elections approach the National Association is receiving many inquiries about the stand taken on the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill by canidates for re-election. Senator Walter E. Edge of New Jersey is one of the candidates about whom inquiries have been received and in response to one of them the N. A. A. C. P., wrote the following letter: The Dyer Bill never came to a vote in the Senate, but several votes were taken for the purpose of trying to bring the bill up for consideration and there were a number of voters who voted favorably. Senator Edge, according to our record, was not among that number. This does not mean that he voted against the bill, but simply that he apparently did not consider the matter important enough to be present and vote favorably. HUSBAND WANTED.
