COURT. Appellate Court Rules Against Him--Must Win or be Sent to Federal Prison. He Will be Finally Sent to British Possessions. MAY 17, 1923 Virginia State Library. VOLUME XLII, NO. 13 LINCO GARV FACE S. C Appellate C Against H Win or b Federal He Will be F British Po (Richmond Times Dispatch) NEW YORK, FEB. 2. —The conviction of Marcus Garvey, self styled professional president of the African republic, for use of the mails to defraud, was affirmed today by the United States Circuit Court of Appeals. Garvey was convicted in June, 1923 in connection with the sale of stock of the Black Star Line, Inc. He was sentenced to five years in Atlanta Penitentiary and was fined $1,000. The Black Star Line was organized by Garvey to acquire vessels to trans port Negroes to Africa, where a great nation was to be established for the race. The high court's opinion summarized the indictment as declaring that the entire scheme was to persuade Negroes to buy stock in the Black Star Line at $5 per share when the defendant knew that notwithstanding frond representations, the shares were not and in all probability never could be worth $5 or any other sum. The persons indicted with Garvey were acquitted and Garvey himself was convicted on only one count. GARVEY WILL APPEAL TO THE U. S. SUPREME COURT. (New York Negro World) At the last minute as we were about to go to press the news was received that the New York Circuit Court of Appeals had handed down a decision confirming the conviction of the Hon. Marcus Garvey in the case of the alleged using of the U. S. mail to defraud. An appeal will be taken to the United States Supreme Court, and all friends of Mr. Garvey are requested to do their bit in rallying to the Appeal and Defense fund to be raised to fight the case for justice. Mr. Garvey feels that the Negro race will not lose the opportunity of fighting against prejudice and injustice to the end and to make a record for future generations of the race, demonstrating the tremendous opposition encountered in the fight for the true emancipation of the race.

Immortal Abe F resting place is altogether But, in a cannot hallo The brave far above our long remember It is for us which they w It is rather us—that from for which the resolve that God, shall h able, by the p Newember resting place for those who here gave their lives that the nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate—we cannot consecrate—we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from those honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from this earth.

The Sabbath Glee Club scored heavily last Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock at the Bifou Theatre, when the Sabbath Glee Club and the Alpha Female Glee Club, under the leadership of Leader Joseph Matthews gave a rendition by a 106 voice mixed chorus. It was called a Folk Song Recital and the crowd was so immense that two recitals had to be given to the delighted public. SURPRISED THE BURGLAR We were passing Third and Clay streets Monday morning, January 26 a few minutes before 6 o'clock on the way to the Planet Office, when we heard a cry, "Get him! Get him!" On looking across the street in front of Dr. A. M. Bowles' Pharmacy, we saw a colored man, wearing an overcoat, running. He turned the corner running diagonally across Third street to the alley in the rear of the J. W. Bliley undertaking establishment. He had reached the middle of the street when another man followed. He stopped and levaled a revolver at the fleeing man. HEARD FOOTSTEP He was approached by another man wearing a cap, who proved to be Private Detective Jones. It was then that we recognized Dr. George W. White. Explanations were in order. Dr. White's Bulk car was at the door. He explained that he had entered his office, which is located over Dr. Bowles' Pharmacy at that unusual hour and when he looked at his small safe, he saw that it had been toppled over and the outside door was open, while some one had been endeavoring to prize open the inner door. In the meantime he heard footsteps on the stairway by which he had just entered FELL AT THE BOTTOM He saw a man making about two bounds on that long flight of stairs. The man fell at the bottom, but quickly got up, leaving his hat. It was then that Dr. White had run out and fired twice at the burglar. Dr. White said that he had forgotten he had a revolver until he reached the street. The burglar did not secure any money. He left a crow-bar and a screw driver. No arrests have been made, although good finger prints were secured and the police are on a lookout for the intruder. --- Funeral Director Robert C. Scott is doing a good business and is giving absolute satisfaction to both the living and the dead. THE RICHMOND PLANET.

GOOD PEOPLE outnumber the bad ones despite the fact that sometimes it seems to be all the other way. A REVOLUTIONARY movement demands martyrs and those selected should not shrink from the duty confronting them. SOUTHERN WHITE POLKS or at least some of them abuse the Negroes, but they are not willing to part with them. WHEN WE REALIZE and understand that our destinies are fixed, we will not be disposed to worry over the misfortunes that seem to be our portion. RADIO NOW CARRIES the human voice eleven thousand miles. This emphasizes the fact that many of the seemingly impossible declarations of the Scriptures may yet come to pass. NORTHERN FRIENDS are for the most part commercial in dealing with colored folks; colored ones are for the most part sentimental in dealing with the same class of people. COLORED PEOPLE are handi-capped by more than a century of slavery, which undermined their mental powers and dwarfed their manhood. They should not forget that. THE BEGINNING of Marcus Garvey's downfall came when he lost support of the Liberian Republic, and he failed to find some other African dependency to take its place. He had apparently the whole white world against him and a large proportion of the black world not in his favor. THE ANNOUNCEMENT is made that the Voorhees Industrial Institute at Denmark, S. C., with a plant valued at $200,000 has been added to the educational institutions of the American Church Institute for Negroes. This Protestant Episcopal organization now supervises ten well-equipped industrial and academic school's for colored people in the South, representing an aggregate value of more than $2,000,000 and educational equipment for 4,000 students. St. Paul's School at Lawrenceville, Va. under that able churchman, Rev. James S. Russell is one of these institutions. REV. DR. WALDRON AND DANCING. WE HAVE RECEIVED a communication from that brainy churchman, Rev. J. Milton Waldron, D. D., in which he announces his opposition to teaching of dancing in the public schools of Washington. It seems that he has interested the Baptist Ministers' Union and the Evangelical Passors' Alliance in the movement. Certainly both organizations have undertaken a big job and begun a movement against one of the largest "forts of the enemy" in the country. The report prepared by Dr. Waldron as chairman of the Committee on Dancing in the Public Schools of Washington constitutes a ringing indictment of this alleged evil. We have never understood just how these aesthetic instructions could be properly given at the public expense. They should be relegated to private institutions, where competent instructors are already busily engaged in training the young limbs how to dance. The less apparel worn for these performances the better. The reason for his kind of instruction is the insistent demand therefor. The mothers of the children dance and set the example and the children naturally follow in their own or some other child's mother's foot steps. Dr. Waldron says that men ranging in ages from 18 to 60 years dance with these young girls. We would be pleased to receive information as to how he knows. Have some of these brazen young folks been bold enough to invite this able divine to dance with them? But joking aside we are of the opinion that the last days of Pompei are now at hand and that the experiences of Sodom and Gomorrah are again heaving in sight. Certain it is that we are living in an age, where flagrant disregard of all laws, both moral and divine seems to be popular with all classes and true humility and divine worship flouted upon every side. When ministers of the Gospel under the plea of modernism flaunt the divinity of Christ and challenge the fundamental teaching of the Scriptures, naught else is to be expected. Dr. Waldron is right in his contentions, regardless of the protests of these people he is attacking. He should continue to cry aloud and spare not. In the meantime, he will find in the ministerial group, no doubt, men who will march with his "army" and chuckle with satisfaction over every set back he may have in his open warfare upon the evils of today.

One day I heard of Exelento Quinine Pomade for the hair and purchased a jar. Almost immediately it stopped all dandruff, made my hair grow long, soft and fine, and gave it a delightful sheen. Because of the perfectly wonderful results I obtained from Exelento Quinine Pomade, I purchased a jar of Exelento Skin Beautifier.

All the old familiar makes of cars were there, but name plate and basic construction alone marked them for the friends of former years. catch up with demands and requirements.

Each succeeding booth held its mechanical surprise. Here a famous manufacturer unveiled a 1925 creation new from hood to trunk rack and powered with a motor fresh from the modern experimental laboratory. There flood lights picked out a graceful body so radically improved that it made last year's coach work antique in comparison. Everywhere was change, improvement, and—confidence.

James spoke of the wonderful career of this wonderful woman and mother, whose life could be commended to all women of all ages and all races as an ideal mother. Rev. James remarked that he had attended thousands of funerals in the last 32 years, but saw less reason for sorrow than any attended. He felt God had given this mother her heart's desire, to see all her children grown and married with credit. Her beloved husband just preceded her to the grave a few years ago. Mrs. Meadows was 72 years of age. Rev. W. R. Howerton was called on for remarks as the daughter and son-in-law were members of his parish. The floral designs were very unique and significant of a noble life blooming into a more joyous state in the land where the roses never fade. The polite funeral director W. F.

July 8, 1915. A perfect cure has been effected by L. J. Hayden's Pure Herb Medicines. After waiting thirteen years and have not suffered from the horrible disease, Gravel, I desire to make a statement to L. J. Hayden. Thirteen years ago twelve leading physicians of my city treated me for kidney trouble and gravel without the desired benefit. These doctors advised me to be operated on, as that was the only chance for me. I was advised to go and get some of L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicine and try to fire being operated on. I did so, and in twenty-four hours after using his medicines I passed at least a half dozen gravel, some as big as a large pea. Since that time I have not suffered with the gravel. I highly recommend L. J. Hayden's medicine to all suffering humanity I am. J. A. PAGE. 4 Auburn Ave., Richmond Va. DAY PHONE, RAN. 4903 W. A.

Hayden's wonderful Herb Medicine, after suffering a long time with the dreadful disease.
