Virginia Again Disgraced-Gov. E. Lee Trinkle Outspoken in Condemnation of the Outrage. Dead Body Burned--Grand Jury to Investigate--His Excellency Visits Scene VOLUME XLII, NO. 20 HORR Virginia sp Dead Body (By Carter W. Wormeley) Desires first hand information of conditions at Waverly, where last week the Negro, James Jordan was lynched, Governor Trinkle made a hurried trip by automobile Saturday from Richmond to Sussex. Here he spoke before a large gathering of the most representative citizens of the town and county, who awaited him in the office of Commonwealth's Attorney Thomas H. Howerton. This office stood within approximately one hundred yards of the spot on which the Negro forfeited his life, and from which the body had been surreptiously removed during the preceding night. The Governor having entered, accompanied by his secretary and others of his pany, all present arose, after which he was immediately presented by the Commonwealth's Attorney. By the side of Attorney Howerton sat Sheriff Fannin. The occasion was impressive. "It is difficult for me to express to you how deeply I am grieved and shocked at what has come to pass" began the Executive. "I am conscious of the dreadful provocation. I know that Southern men will protect Southern women. I am aware that, at times, the resentful fury of an outraged citizenship is hard to curb. But as the chief officer of the State I feel my duty to point to you, and through you to the citizens of Sussex that correction of crime lies in appeal to the courts not to be submission to moh rule. "I do not believe that there is a man present within the sound of my voice who does not know that I speak the truth. I cannot too easily enjoin upon you the importance of upholding and of strengthening the arm of the courts. What I am saying to you is but the gospel of sound sense. It is a gospel which should be preached and spread throughout all circles of society. For in the observance of the law rests the strength of the law, and in the strength of the law reposes, at last, the safety of the State. Had the thousand men who participated in this crime been ruled by reason, the prisoner would have been arraigned in court at the latest, within three days. The law had then been up held, society would have been vindicated, and Virginia would have been spared what must remain as a stain upon the record of your county and the State." At the conclusion of the Governor's remarks he was accorded a rising vote thanks. And it appeared the scowl of the governor, the meeting that all present would, whenever occasion offered, do all in their power press the community with their belief that a serious error had been committed. And that the public mind and impulse should be very earnestly directed to different methods of seeking and of securing redress. Upon the streets of Waverly Saturday afternoon life moved on normally, although a slight tension seemed to hover and vibrate over the quiet town. Little or no hostility or resentment appeared in the attitude of the Negroes. And indeed, it was said that numerous expressions of satisfaction had been voiced by the colored population that the guilty Negro had been apprehended, from which fact it was argued suspicion of the innocent would be removed. The Negro in question is said to have come to Virginia from North Carolina and to have been a former convict. He was under suspicion as a desperate and as a dangerous character. WAVERLY. VA., March 20.—A frenzied mob of 500 residents of Waverly and Sussex County battered in the doors of the city jail with a ten foot water main shortly after 8 o'clock tonight, dragged James Jordan, 22, colored from a cell and. after identifying him as the man who attacked a young married woman on (Continued on page 8.)

This question has agitated much discussion throut the country. It is generally known as the Child Labor Amendment. The Y W. C. A. team composed of Misses B. C. E. Edmunds, M. L. Smith and C. V. Kyles defended the affirmative and Messrs. A. Milberry, W. R. Johnson and J. Watson defended the negative. Both sides evidenced thorough preparation and diligent study for the presentation. After the heated discussion the judges, Miss Lucy Mason, Dr. J. B. Simpson and Attorney J. T. Carter rendered, thru sealed balloons an unanimous decision in favor of the affirmative.

WHEN DAD WAS A BOY BY SATTERFIELD LET ME TRY IT, BILL! MILKIN' TIME SATTERFIELD AUTOCASTER WASHINGTON, March 23.—The Supreme Court announced today its refusal to review the case of Marcus Garvey, a New York Negro leader, who was found guilty of using the mails to defraud sentenced to prison for five years and ordered to pay a fine of $1,000. He said he was the "Provisional President of Africa". . . In denying the petition for a writ of certiorari the Court merely announced the refusal without any explanations. Garvey asserted through his counsel George Gordon Battle, that "the writ of certiorari should be granted in furtherance of justice, and to protect the petitioner in the enjoyment of his constitutional rights". Garvey's case is now closed and he must stay in the Atlanta Federal prison. --- —Mr. J. F. Robinson, Mrs. C. L. Robinson, supervisor, of Louisa County Coked schools. Rev. R. J. Robinson, pastor Mt. Olivet Baptist Church Louisa Co., Va., and Mr. Charles W. Nelson were in the city and called on us. NOTED WOMAN DELIVERS GREAT ADDRESS HERE. Miss Hallie Q. Brown, of Oberlin, Ohio delivered one of the ablest addresses ever heard in this section, when she occupied the rostrum at the Ebenezer Baptist Church last Sunday afternoon for more than an hour. Her address related primarily to colored women and their work, extending over a period of more than sixty years. While she spoke from written manuscript, her style of delivery and her elocutionary powers made it practically unobservable. It was difficult at times to suppress the penc up applause, which finally broke forth at the conclusion of her deliverances. Mrs. Ora B. Stokes in her inimitable manner presided with ease and grace. The University Glee Club furnished the music, Prof. W. H. A. Booker, director and Rev. James S Hatcher and his singers sang a selection that thrilled the audience. Prof. W. D. Jones and his choir were at their best. OLD PAPERS FOR SALE AT 250 PER HUNDRED — Planet Office. THE UNION-HARTSHORN DRIVE BEING PUSHED FORWARD STEADILY The big drive for $50,000, Richmond's quota in the Union-Hartshorn campaign for $600,000 is going rapidly forward. Workers all over the city are diligently canvassing for funds and indications are that the venture will be successful if local citizens continue to respond to this work effort. A great program for the expansion of Union University and Hartshorn Memorial College will be "put over" with the successful completion of the drive and it is therefore urged that each one contribute as liberally as possible. All efforts are being put forth so that the goal may be reached by the last of this week. Contrary to a statement which appeared in last week's issue, there are other institutions in the State which prepare individuals for teaching in the high schools of the State of Virginia. This notation was an error. A mass meeting in the interest of the drive will be held in Armstrong H'zh School auditorium Sunday at 5 P. M. Subscribe to The Planet. REV.

John Jasper's famous "Sun Sermon" last Sunday night to an audience that rammed and packed the church edifice to its capacity. The aisles would have been packed also were it not for the persistent and emphatic appeals of Trustee E. F. Johnson and his orders to his ushers to force an observance of the fire regulations. As it was, the crowd stood at the doorways, while a mass of people for a time blocked the sidewalk on the outside. "THE SUN DO MOVE". Rev. Dr. Hatcher wore the ministerial robes of his office and found his text in the tenth chapter of Joshua. He spoke of the designation of Rev. John Jasper's sermon as "The Sun Do Move and the Earth is Square". He declared that those who had criticised and ridiculed John REV. DR. JAMES S. HATCHER.

Rev, Dr. Hatcher, wore the ministerial robes of his office and found his text in the tenth chapter of Joshua. He spoke of the designation of Rev. John Jasper's sarmon as "The Sun Do Move and the Earth is Sonare". He declared that those who had criticised and ridiculed John Jasper were dead, many of them forgotten, while John Jasper was known all over the world and his name would live on. He read from the following verses: THE TEXT "Then spake Joshua unto the Lord in the day when the Lord delivered un the Amorites before the children of Israel Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon in the valley of Ajalon. "And the sun stood still, and the moon staved, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasteth not to go down about a whole day.

A POLITE COLORED person has a chance to get a job, where an impolite one has not even "a look in". COLORED FOLKS, who support race journals by paying for them promptly are rendering themselves and their own people a great service. SOME COLORED FOLKS are making plenty of money in certain parts of this country and most of them are spending thoughtlessly the money they are making FORMER SECRETARY of the Treasury, Carter Glass and present Secretary of the Treasury, Andrew W. Mellon, speaking from the same platform in Richmond is one of the surprising things of this decade. BATTLING SIKI'S fight in New York recently was remarkable in many respects. Although an African and outclassed in the contest, he took his grilling punishment and demonstrated conclusively that he could not be knocked out, even when helpless against the powerful blows of his antagonist. He won the admiraion of all, both white and colored. THE BRITISH Government, under the leadership of Prime Minister Austin Chamberlain has "scrapped" the protocol of the League of Nations by declining to be bound by all of its provisions. This has caused a protest in France and the indications are that this European Republic will ultimately find itself isolated by the Great Powers, unless it listens to reason and discontinues its policy of feverishly building up a great war machine, that will not only endanger Germany, but other countries adjacent to it. JACK DEMPSEY is having the time of his life in trying to hold the heavyweight championship without fighting to retain it. He even had to seek matrimony in order to further delay the ordeal. It begins to look as though he must either fight this year or retire from the fistic arena. They are now endeavoring to match him with that pugilistic marvel, Tom Gibbons, a light heavyweight, who has been defeated by him, rather than match him with Harry Wills, the black heavyweight, who has not been defeated by him. The indications are that he will be required to fight the colored giadiator and settle a question as to the superiority of one of the most remarkable pugilists ever seen in the arena. PRESIDENT COOLIDGE tendered Hon. Charles W. Warren a recess appointment as Attorney-General. He decided to decline the honor and so Hon. John G. Sargent, former Attorney-General of Vermont and a per sonal friend of the President has been named and confirmed. It seems now that the appointee, while being an ideal American has opinions of his own and that he does not hesitate to express them. It develops that he was openly antagonistic to the Women's Suffrage Amendment and that he is not "in love" with the Volstead Amendment. It is reported that had the confirmation not taken place so promptly, opposition would have developed from these two sources.

Amid the struggle which the Race is making for full participation in the institution of American democracy, it is enlightening as well as inspiring to take a glimpse into the past and note the manhood and perseverance of gladiators who cast their offerings into the great melting pot of argument for the freemen, whose progeny is just as determined now as were their forefathers then that Liberty and Justice should eventually evolve from the laws and customs of this country. Such an example is here shown in excerpts from the speech of Hon. G. W. Murray, colored member of Congress, representing the Seventh District of South Carolina, in the year 1893, who, in attacking a bill which had been introduced for the purpose of repealing the Federal election laws, said: Mr. Speaker: I appeal to Republicans from everywhere standing true to the principles of Sumner, Seward, Lincoln and Grant, *****to resist this nefarious measure with all their power and resources. *****A man brought up under the inspiration of American institutions, even devoid of theoretical education, is better prepared and entitled to vote than the alien ignorant alike of our language and our institutes, fresh from some foreign land, who is hurriedly made a citizen and permitted to vote without: (Applause on the Republican side.) "How unjust it is to deny others the right claimed for yourselves. Mr. Speaker, regardless of the fact that we of right have been citizens of the country from its birth; that our forefathers joined with yours in making it what it is; that we have aided in winning every battle celebrated in its song and history; that we are taxed to support this Government; and that in hours of danger we are required to stand between it and the guns of its enemies in obedience to the wish of the friends of this iniquitous measure, ascending the mound beneath which are buried not only the fetters and liberty of more than six million black people, but the heroes and martyrs who died to strike off their shackles, I request you to let those laws remain for the sake of the white men in opposition to the local administration parties in the South". (Applause on Republican side.) "Mr. Speaker: I appeal to Republicans from everywhere-standing true to the principles of Sumner, Seward, Lincoln and Grant,****to resist this nefarious measure with all their power and resources.****A man brought up under the inspiration of American institutions, even devoid of theoretical education, is better prepared and entitled to vote than the alien-ignorant alike of our language and our institutions, fresh from some foreign land, who is hurriedly made a citizen and permitted to vote without: (Applause on the Republican side.) "How unjust it is to deny others the right claimed for yourselves. Mr. Speaker, regardless of the fact that we of right have been citizens of the country from its birth; that our forefathers joined with yours in making it what it is; that we have aided in winning every battle celebrated in its song and history; that we are taxed to support this Government; and that in hours of danger we are required to stand between it and the guns of its enemies in obedience to the wish of the friends of this iniquitous measure, ascending the mound beneath which are buried not only the fetters and liberty of more than six million black people, but the heroes and martyrs who died to strike off their shackles, I request you to let those laws remain for the sake of the white men in opposition to the local administration parties in the South". (Applause on Republican side.) Attention is pointed to the continued interspersion of applause for Congressman Murray's remarks, reminding us here now that no such spectacle is possible today. That it will be possible in some of the Congresses of tomorrow in our sincere hope, together with the abiding desire that some day, somehow the instrumentalities of evasion now used in many States to erect a barrier between the black man and the ballot box will be thrown into the discard; and that in their stead real patriotism and appreciation for full American citizenship for all Americans will pervade the U. S. A., from coast to coast, and from Canada to the Gulf. With breasts which are swelling with pride, Washingtonians have frequent occasion to rejoice over the advent of safe and sane business ventures which are rapidly bringing the Capital City into the forefront in the Race's progress the country over. The coming of Frank L. Gillespie and his Liberty Life Insurance Company refreshes Washington's memory to the extent of realizing that, too the Supreme Life and Casualty Company, the National Benefit Society, North Carolina Mutual, Standard Life and Federal Insurance Companies are here and going strong, growing in business and in employment offerings to trained Negro youth.

Bail, pastor 77 "THE CAMERAMAN." (Prestige News Service) leaders much of the business of real property transactions has been taken out of the hands of unscrupulous white dealers, who heretofore reaped a harvest from illly-advised Negro clients; and home ownership in Washington has grown by leaps and bounds, safeguarded by race capital and race advise and frequently refinanced by race mortgage and guaranty companies. In this connection, the Universal Development Company, with holdings of $120,000 in choice business property such as stores and garages, on Washington's most prominent streets, has taken a conspicuous place in business development. Twenty-seven drug stores and approximately forty registered pharmacists compound prescriptions and dispense toilet articles to thousands of customers who no longer spend needless carfare to and from the downtown white section for pharmaceutical goods. Haberdasheries and shoe stores are plentiful and milliners and dressmakers work endless hours on beautiful hats and gowns. Four busy local presses grind out informing local news, and two great out of town papers the Pittsburgh Courier and the Chicago Defender have added their busy activities to the dissemination of national news. From cobbling to the manufacture of ice cream and choice sweets, the Negro merchant is kept busy. Thriving cafeterias and restaurants serve tasty viands to the hungry folks, local and transient; and race cab services, to say nothing of privately-owned cars and all the way from Fords to Rolls-Royces, convey busy folk from hotel to bank, from theatre to home. Employment is being given to thousands of trained youth, and professional life in Washington is surging with success, from sanitarium to home bedside and from office to court. Optimism is running the gamut of business progress in Washington, and the city has taken a firm place among the great cities of the country in which race consciousness pervades our group to the extent of bringing up and doing—making internal currents of success in finance, in the interchange of abilities and in the substantial plane of genuine race advancement. March on, Washington! MONEY! PRESTIGE! POWER! A prominent race member of the Republican party and officeholder under the Harding-Cooleidge Administration, for whose official scab fifty-seven different varieties of the BRETHREN have been clamoring, not because they are able to put greater efficiency into the incumbent's office, but simply because they want jobs, musingly said to us as we dashed off a "movie" last week: "Money, Prestige, and Power are three much sought acquisitions, any one of which is liable to cause a BROTHER to run off the track at any time. And if he ever acquires all three of them at the same time, Hell and Maria, he is apt to attempt to do stunts which would make an East Indian magician look like a piker." "It's just like this", continued our amiable Republican disciple, as he flicked some cigar ashes off his Prince Albert coat: "Political economists say that money is a medium of exchange. Webster gives two meanings to prestige, one being weight or influence, force or charm; and the other being delusion. illusion, trick or charm. And Power! Well, anybody who has read a smattering of history or lived in Georgia or Florida, knows what power is. The result is simple. Mere efficiency is a small potato when put up as a set-off against an army of insistent, all of whom are willing to exchange money, influence, and force, or any one of them, for the chance to perform an illusion upon the long suffering public.

NEGRO BUSINESS IN WASHINGTON 4- A LOST WORLD. upon some paper that bears the government watermark. And Bill Smith, who hasn't a nickle, but who is the most eloquent and influential preacher out in my State, wants to give up soul guidance in favor of diverting some yellow money to his bank account. And Dr. Brown, who is the most expert surgeon in my county, wants to abandon a life of amputations to enter the high social life of Washington. And poor me', sighed our friend, "I was drafted into the service for efficiency's sake; but, as Gray said, 'Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown'. I'd like to go back home to peace and quietude, but the boss has told me that for efficiency's sake, I'm to stay four years more. He says this year they have decided to blue pencil money, prestige and power, unless founded upon ability. But gracious me, the BRETHREN don't seem to believe him, and they're running off the track three times a day, with delusions, tricks, and bucks of as many varieties as the condiments of the famous Heinz". A LOST WORLD. Fountain pens have been particularly busy during the past half-year describing jazz music and the origin of syncopation. Musical historians have vividly described the peculiar rhythm which they claim was raised to its height by Negro musical performers and their imitators, from the days when Mav Irwin sang "I'm a Little Alabama Coon", and Will Marion Cook wrote "Emancipation Day" to the present day when Vincent Lopex, Meyer Davis and Paul Whiteman (whites) together with Ford Dabney, "Gricket" Smith, Allie Ross, Will Vodery and other eminent Negro performers dispense jazz and classics with equality, facility and charm. Due respects have been paid to W. C. Handy, Walter Craig Shelton Brooks, James Reese Europe, Hallie Anderson, Will Riker, Bob Douge, Paston Penalver and others, who have had and are having their innings in the musical world. The writer was once a fiddler in Harlem, when Sulzer's Harlem River Park at 126th Street and Lexington Avenue was almost as famous as Madison Square Garden; and we venture to call attention to one sad fact in the advent of jazz and the participation of Negro performers in its rendition. From 1914 to 1918, Negro musicians enjoyed a 'corner' on the jazz market, which is to them now, in a massive sense, a lost world. White musicians walked the streets idle, from Chicago to Washington and from New York to St. Louis, while Negro jazz artists reaped tremendous returns from their emotional strains. Negro orchestras were sent to Florida, and jazz bands were made up in New York for exportation to London and Paris. Negro musicians, who had been studying and not playing stopped studying and went to playing; and white musicians who had been playing and not studying, were forced to stop playing and go to studying. And since 1918 the 'corner' has been slipping from the grasp of Negro Jazzers. A few eminent race artists in the jazz world are still enjoying the prestige and financial returns of their abilities. But to use the vernacular of a few thoughtful musicians, "The Jew boys and the American whites have fiddled the Negro off Broadway." They studied jazz and technique, and when they began to emerge from their long vacation, alas, they could out-jazz the ja-zers. In Washington, in Philadelphia, in New York, and elsewhere, the BROTHER-musician is largely dwelling in the lost world of jazz. Only those who kept preparedness in the foreground of their musical careers have retained their seats on the musical 'corner', which at one time seemed destined to remain in the grasp of race performers for years to come. Union Wallops P.E.A's by the Score of 61 to 20 The well-trained Union machine, hitting on all five swamped the local P. E. A. 61-20 for the first defeat in their history last Monday. Although the schoolboy tossers played hard and fought all the way, they were no match for their experienced collegiate opponents. Ballard led his teammates with 21 points; Gardner scored 16 and W. H. Jackson registered 10. J. C. Jackson C. G. Williams and Bugg guarded well. For the P. E. A's, Bugg guarded Cheatham were the outstanding players. NEW YORK BANS JACK DEMPSEY FOR SIDE- STEPPING HARRY WILLS NEW YORK, March 24—JACK Dempsey, world heavyweight boxing champion today was placed on the New York State Athletic Commission's ineligible list. The boxing commission further decreed that "no licensed club, matchmaker, nor any official connected with a licensed club in this State," shall enter into a contract with or have negotiations for a match with any boxer suspended or declared ineligible by the commission. The action against Dempsey was taken because of the champion's failure to make a satisfactory reply to the commission's ultimatum of March 6, giving him fifteen days in which to accept the challenge for a title match submitted by Harry Wills, the colored heavyweight, who has been on Jack's trail for several years. HOLDS REPLY EVASIVE. A recent letter addressed to the commission by Jack Kearns, Dempsey's manager, in which Kearns said Wills' challenge of three years ago had been accepted by the champion, but that the commission had ultimately refused to sanction the bout, was deemed an insufficient reply to the ultimatum. Dempsey was not suspended, it was said, because he does not hold a New York license; hence the declaration of his ineligibility to box in this PEN POINTERS PEN POINTERS A group is one who tells every thing she hears—plus This is the season when mother tells father how when and where to drive the auto It will showers bring play flow can still be because someone planted the seeds If you take advantage, every knuckle is a boost if opportunity does the knocking.

Before the commission met there were rumors that it would declare the heavyweight title vacant, but such a step, it was learned, was not considered. James A. Farley, chairman of the commission, voted with William Muldoon, another member, to discipline Dempsey in this manner. George F. Brower, the third commissioner, was not present at the meeting. Replying to a query as to whether the edict forbidding promoters from negotiating with an ineligible boxer would prevent Tex Rickard from angling for a Dempsey match in Boyles' Thirty Acres, Jersey City, Farley said: ..HOLDS WHIP OVER RICKARD. "We would not consider such action on the part of Rickard as clubby." THE EDITOR TEX RICKARD CONVICTED.

And the pathetic fact is that millions of women will wear skirts so short as to be silly, and paint their ears without loss of time. Also the eyelids are to be stained dark brown or blonde the eyelashes curled, and the inside of the nostrils stained bright red. The short skirt, in reason, is sensible, a step toward common sense, and away from microbes. Red ears, with natural, indicate good blood condition. But for women to wear skirts that would look foolish on a child, paint artificial with on their ears, or their lips and color their eyelids, that looks too much, however, back it all there is a dine wisdom, in unfortunate. Woman is on her way some grand destiny. Let us on her nose and aguire, not criticize. We can estimate the wealth under ground in this country. The Bartlett Oil Company strikes a new oil well in its Colorado territory. The roar of the gas, rushing out, twenty million feet a day, can be heard for six miles. If gas were worth one dollar a thousand, which is called "a cheap, confiscatory price," how much would that well yield in money? And the wealth in the ground is perhaps less than the wealth in the air. Floating above every farm, waiting to be taken out and used, is enough nitrogen to fertilize many such farms. We buy nitrogen buried in the air from South Africa and there are billions of pounds. Nevada's Ancient Cit Nevada's Ancient City 10,000 Years Old AUTOCASTER Prof. M. R.

SIX By Arthur Brisbane --- --- And what is the wealth below the waters of the oceans, seas and lakes, that cover the greater part of the earth? Here and there, along the Pacific Coast, you see oil wells out in the ocean. Men eventually will explore the ocean's bed, as they now explore Alaska, or Africa, and give to the farms, from the air, the nitrogen they need. Henry Ford would do it now, if he had Muscle Shoals. The Supreme Court decides that the game and fish act is constitutional. The National Government therefore has power, where game and fish are concerned, to protect the interest of the people. The Monterey Fish Product Company must now discontinue turning into fertilizer fish fit for human food. What about an act that would prevent exploiters of child labor turning young lives into dividends and grinding up children into profits? Isn't that worse than grinding good salmon into fertilizer? The Supreme Court was not able to uphold the constitutionality of an act to protect children, although certain so-called "radical" justices on that bench did uphold it. However, our highest court does find a way to protect fish and game. About a hundred years ago, in a Vermont log cabin, a young mother read to her children old Bible stories, about the whale that swallowed Jonah. Eliah and his charist of fire and the fig tree that withered under Divine rebuke. That man was poor and all her people were poor, and ours was a young and poor nation then. The old Bible from that log cabin, carefully wrapped up, was taken to the broad platform before the Capitol. With his hand on that Bible, Calvin Coolidge swore to do his duty as President of the United States. He is the grandson of the New England woman that owned the Bible, 100 years ago. This is the land of opportunity and growth. What will it be in years to come, if the 112,000,000 now here work as hard and hopefully as men and women did in the days of Calvin Coolidge's grand mother?

The Wreck and, Sally discuss making an escape in Underwood's big NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY "I could make him put the valves back," said the Wreck, "but I couldn't give him any good reason for it. I suppose I'd have to lock him up after he did it, to keep him from telling." "He dismissed the idea with a smile of her hand. It couldn't find the wheel to our feet," she said, "what do you want, but trying to make it on?" "I definitely simple." She was doubtful about that. So we were doubtful about that. "I don't sure about you," she said. We began ruffling with familiar symptoms. Henry, there's no need for you to be sensitive about it. You're not supposed to be a good rider, any one than I'm a good chemist. You haven't had the training. I think you'd make a beautiful rider in time, but you a very bad one just now that suffer agony every time you get in a horse." "You haven't heard no squealing," she said, sharply. "No: I haven't wouldn't squeal if you were there." But so far she is making a getaway goes it's not a question of squealing. It's a question of falling off."

There was something about his stubbornness that secretly delighted her, but she did not mention it. "Well, we may have to try it." she said, "if you really don't mind tiring off." "I don't mind."

Howard Watt though it was not beyond the rough planning stage, brightened her wonderfully. She became as cheerful as though she were already far on the road. Of course, she knew, it would be an awful ordeal for the Wreck, but he was so willing, even eager, to undergo the torture that it reconfined her to the prospect. Whatever be fell him, she knew that he would take it standing up, like a man—except of course, when he happened to fall off. The Wreck, despite his brave front, was not looking forward to the exploit with joy, even though it might bring discomfiture to their enemies. He would never love a horse. He knew too well what they did to him. But with Sally determined to make an early departure, he was the last person to interpose any objection as to method. If it became necessary to crawl] all the way to the Bar-M on hands and knees, or even to Chicago, he would have taken the same attitude. It was his business to see that Sally reached her destination, whatever it was, and he proposed to attend to it. "I'll put up all the grub that we can carry," said Sally "That'll be Va "SOMETIMES YOU CAN BE PERFECTLY LOVELY." more important than spare clothes. It will be mostly sandwiches, I'm afraid. What kind do you like?" "Any kind." "But you must have some preference." "I'm not particular." She beamed at him, and he did not know why. "You're not fussy about your cooking, are you, Henry?" "Not that I know of." "It's not the main thing in your life, is it?" "No." "And if you were marrying a girl that isn't the first thing you'd think about?" "What in thunder was she driving at, he wondered? Was she making fun of him? He was not marrying cooks or anybody else. Why couldn't she let him alone?" "No: I wouldn't think about it as all, he answered, rather stupidly." "Would I be supposed to?" She laughed without restraint, she was a queer, awkward person. "No: it would be rather nice not to think about it," she said. "But, just the same, I'm going to put you up the nicest sandwiches I know how to make." "All right. Anything at all." "And I may even expect you to praise them." "Sure, I will." "She laughed again, but there was not the least hint of teasing in her eyes." "Henry Williams," she said, "sometimes you can be perfectly lovely. With This Deep One Letter let this cross-word puzzle by there are TWO big 13 LETTERS on 18 and 42 horizontal.

There was nothing Chester could contribute in the of information, and he felt that was politic to let him alone more he searched the more probe it seemed that he would ride away Charley McSweeny's horse. would not allow the small matter of a bet to detain him, although he would have found pleasure in the umphing over the forough of the Underwood ranch. Sally informed him an unannounced that the sandwiches had been made and put away, and that she hoped he would not complain about them. He merely shrugged. She also told him that she was going for a little ride in the afternoon with Chester. He shrugged again, but there was a scowl that went with it. She did. He saw them ride away toward the hills, and then spent part of a miserable afternoon in the quest for the missing wheel. It was none of his business that she girl who was engaged to the shepherd or anybody else, ought to be galloping over the range with any young man who happened to come along. The afternoon of Jerome Underwood was equally unpleasant. He wanted to get hold of Bob Wells and acquaint him with discoveries, but the shifter was somewhere on the road and could not be reached by telephone. It seemed to Underwood that the whole system of suppressing crime was unnecessarily primitive. He saw the situation entirely in terms of New York; he expected metropolitan service. He fumed and exploded, and he shot grim injuvenees does at Charley McSween, who maintained his calm, although he began to be sorry that he had ever bothered himself about obtaining an emergency cook. Sally came back from her ride flushed and charming. She told Chester that it had been delightful every foot of the way, even saying it in the presence of the Wreck, who happened to be in the vicinity of the corral, apparently still looking for an essential part of his filly. Back in the kitchen again, she became serious and restless. She wailed awhile for Henry Williams; she had something to say. But the Wren was evidently minded to keep aloof. He did not appear until after she had sent Timothy to find him, with message that she wanted to talk. He came into the kitchen with a sullen look on his face and with out a word, began putting on his apron, grimly resigned to the performance of at least one more hateful task. "Never mind the apron yet," she said. "There's something more important." He waited for the explanation.

Wednesday, took him to a vacant lot in front of the depot and hanged him to a tree, riddling the body with bullets and later burning it. He is said to have confessed. Jordan was arrested today after posters were circulated bearing his description. His foreman at a sawmill remembered him from the description and notified the police. After the lynchman Commonwealth Attorney Howerton said he would conduct a rigid investigation and present the names of the leaders of the mob to the grand jury. The town is restless and there is a subdued feeling of excitement in the air, although the streets have been cleared and there is no evidence of disorder. The lynching took place about 100 yards from the jail within a few feet of the Norfolk and Western depot. A train had just pulled into the station and a part of the lynching episode was visible from windows of train. Commonwealth's Attorney Howerton had put in a long distance call to Governor Trinkle appealing for troops. While the call was being made the man was taken from the jail. It was thought that troops or assistance of some kind would arrive on the train which pulled in from Norfolk a few minutes before Jordan was stung up. According to county officers, the circumstances of the attack had aroused indignation throughout the county that could not be controlled when it became known the perpetrator of the crime had confessed. "Everybody in the county seemed to have been there". Mr. Howerton said, adding that his efforts as well as those of Sheriff Fannin to prevent the lynching were like throwing chaff into the wind. The young woman was attacked at her home about 3:30 o'clock in the afternoon, during the absence of her husband. She first saw the man in the back yard and hurriedly fastened the doors and armed herself with her husband's pistol when his actions became suspicious. However, the man opened a back window, entered and took the weapon away from her. Jordan was positively identified as having been the one who entered the home of a young white married woman and attacked her. She had been removed from the home of her parents in the country, about twelve miles from Waverley Sheriff Fannin and Deputy Sheriff Harris took him to her and she was positive he was the man. Shortly after dusk the sheriff's party returned to Waverley and lodged their prisoner in jail. Citizens gathered and the streets soon filled when news spread that the man had been identified. Pleas of the Commonwealth's Attorney to let the law take its course failed to deter the mob, members of which shouted, "No, no, no" when Prosecutor Howerton pleaded for the law. He assured them he would ask the judge of the circuit to call a special grand jury tomorrow morning if they would disperse and let the law take its course. After the lynching, Commonwealth's Attorney Howenton stated over long distance to come to The Times Dispatch that he would make every effort to learn the identity of the mob leaders and present their names to the grand jury. Jordan was captured at Gray's Lumbe, Mill, at which he had been employed for about two weeks. He was in the act of changing from a pair of old shoes to a new pair when Sheriff Fannin placed him under arrest. The pistol, a peculiar four-barreled weapon, which the assailant had wrested from the woman, led to his capture. He had given it to a colored man who reported it to a citizen of the town. None in Waverly tonight knew the name of the man who had been lynched. He was said to have come originally from North Carolina, had lived in Franklin, Southampton County, Va., and then recently had come to work in Waverly.

SCIENTIST DISCUSSES NEGRO VARIABILITY. WASHINGTON, March 26—(P. N. S.—There is less variability among American Negroes than among the white population, according to the researches and conclusions of Dr. L. J. Herkosvitz, fellow of the National Research Council, who Wednesday addressed the Anthropological Society in the National Museum buildings. Dr. Herkosvitz said that researches now being conducted by him among the male students at Howard University show that there is more consolidation toward a definite group among Negroes than among whites. Racial crossings, he pointed out, is on a marked decrease. PITTSBURGH CATHOLICS MAKE DRIVE FOR SCHOOL FUNDS PITTSBURGH, PA. March 26—(P N. S.)

Everything Estimates and Servi all and See us when i ine. We carry a large SUN DO MOVE SERMON (Continued from Page 1) before it or after it, that the Lord hearkened unto the voice of a man; for the Lord fought for Israel". 3AYS EARTH IS SQUARE While Rev. John Jasper always preached his sun sermon from the text, Exodus 15:3, "The Lord is a man of war; the Lord is His name," Rev. Dr. Hatcher confined himself to the tenth chapter of Joshua. Like the late pastor of the S'xth Mount Zion Baptist Church, Rev. Hatcher had selected this sermon at the request of some members of his congregation. He stood squarely upon the sayings of the Bible and near the conclusion gave out a statement relative to the earth having four corners, confining himself to the opinion that a round object could not have four corners. At times, he had his audience convulsed with laughter and at others he aroused a feeling of awe and divine faith in the declaration of the Scriptures. SCRIPTURAL CITATIONS He cited as follows: Genesis 15:17: "And it came to pass, that when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces". Genesis 28:11: "And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set." Genesis 32:31: "And as he passed over Penuel, the sun rose upon him." Ecclesiastes 1:5: "The sun also arisen, and the sun goeth down". Matthew 5:45: "For He make His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust". Relatively to the earth, Rev. Dr. Haddock came from Isaiah 11:12: "And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and shall gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth." Revelations 7:1: "And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any *way*." EFFECTIVE DISCOURSE. It is practically impossible to fully describe the effective manner in which he delivered this discourse. He swayed the audience at will and won the hearty approval of all, apparently, within the sound of his voice. He, with his corps of singers rendered selections. He has an excellent musical voice and his ardent supporter, Truslee E. J. Johnson, who both tenor and bass, readily assisted him. At the conclusion Miss Rallie Q. Brown was introduced and made a few remarks. She will deliver an address tomorrow night at the church. Rev. Dr. Hatcher will deliver the sermon again by request at the City Auditorium on the fourth Sunday afternoon in April. (26th). DICKERSON'S OYSTER PUNCHER POPULAR INVENTION.
