NO. 28 A SHO Willie Nineteen Heart P On the Wa Prisoner' The case of Willie Moore, charged with the murder of Sarah Ann Haru Sunday night, May 17th was called in the Police Court, Tuesday morning, 19th inst. Judge Ingram preiding and after a preliminary statement of facts Moore was sent on to the grand jury. He was not represented by counsel. The funeral took place Wednesday, 20th inst. from the Seventeenth Street Mission, Rev. G. A. Simmons, pastor of the Christian Baptist Church officiating. Increment was in Woodland Cemetery. STORY OF THE MURDER. Willie Moore, who resides at 1315 N. Seventeenth Street stabbed to death Mrs. Sarah Ann Hart just east of the corner of 10th and Turpin Streets, Sunday night, May 17th, shortly before 9 o'clock. There were nineteen stab wounds in the body. They were knife wounds. One of them was made with such terrific force that the rib bone was cut through and the heart of the unfortunate woman penetrated. Another wound on the chin extended far enough back to sever the jugular vein and to produce almost instant death. The woman resided with her mother at 1315 N. Seventeenth Street and acted as cook there. She had been separated from her husband, Willie Hart, since last September. A VISIT TO THE RESIDENCE A visit to the residence last Tues day morning elicited the following information. Mrs. Priscilla Holloway mother of the murdered woman, conducts a roaming house there. Two other men and their wives room with her. Mrs. Holloway came here from Greenwood, South Carolina seven or eight years ago. She has two children, Henry Cauthorn and Sarah Ann Hart, deceased. The latter has been married about six years to Will Hart. Hart is from Columbia. South Carolina. The couple separated about last September. Will Moore, who lodged and boarded with Mrs. Holloway worked in South Richmond PRAYER MEETING SERVICES Prayer meeting services are held at the Holloway home every Sunday afternoon. They were being conducted last Sunday afternoon when Mrs. Holloway heard a pan fall in the kitchen, where her daughter, Sarah Ann Hart was preparing a meal. She went in there after she heard Moore caring and reprintmanded him. He had thrown into the slops the meat that Sarah Ann Hart was frying. He later came upstairs and expressed regret for his action, telling her he would not curse in the house any more. That night she went to the Christian Baptist Church, which has recently been organized by Rev. G. A. Simmons of 1013 Turpin Street. MURDERED ON WAY TO CHURCH Later, Wilke Moore accompanying tw., other females, left to go to the same church. When they came in, Mrs. Holloway asked for her daughter. They told he, that Moore had run them away. Willie Moore is said to have knocked the woman down with his fist and then as she 'ay on the ground had stabbed her repeatedly with the knife which he always carried. Mrs. Holloway said that she had been after him constantly about carrying that open knife, warning him that some one that he intended to kill might kill him first. She told him that the boys were afraid to sleep with him on account of this habit. ALWAYS CARRIED KNIFE Once she took the knife away from him and she has it yet. However, he secured another one. In the little quaint structure on Seventeenth Street last Tuesday morning were several females, while Rev. G. A. Simmons was present to administer consolation to the bereaved family. As Editor Mitchell passed up Seventeenth Street he was Funeral Direct or Robert C. Scott's silver gray hearse approaching the residence and following it was the dead wagon. They stopped at 1315 North Seventeenth Street. The rear doors were swung open and the two attendants carried the remains, which were in a pearl gray casket into the house, where it rested on the wheeled receptacle for inspection by the public.

He may boast of the hearty support and allegiance of both young and old in the achievement of his program. "GRUMPY" GOES OVER STRONG. Times have been few when the interest in drama in this community has been awakened to the extent that was evident in True Reformer Hall on Friday, May 15, at the production of Samuel French's mystery play, "Grumpy". The play was given under the auspices of the Howard Dramatic Club and was under the personal supervision of the accomplished Mrs. Kate G. Colson. The scenery was such as would so inspire a cast in its interpretations that the characters would cease to be imaginary. This play marked a distance advancement in dramatics in Richmond, showing what can be done with local talent. Mr. Hannibal Holmes' characterization of the title role was superb. It was one of the best interpretations ever seen hereabouts. He accomplished what few amateurs attain—a complete loss of self in the character presented. Mr. Raymond Clarke's interpretation of Mr. Jarvis and Miss E. Rosalie Clarke as Grumpy's grand-daughter were very forceful and made a deep impression upon the audience, which paid enthusiastic tribute. Mr. Joseph Richardson in his impersonation of Earnest Heron showed great ability as an actor. Richardson is a young man of inherited grace and feelings. The effect of the evening was heightened by the warmth and emotional singing of Mr. James Cheatham. We are greatly indebted to the entire cast for their remarkable contribution to our dramatic knowledge and pleasure. —W. T. S. Launched by the Va. Baptist State Convention (By Charles Stewart) NEWPORT NEWS, VA., May 18 —The fifty-eighth annual session of the Virginia Baptist State Convention held here last week with the First Baptist Church, Rev. A. A. Galvin, D. D., pastor has passed into history as one of the greatest sessions in the history of the organization, and a drive for a quarter of a million dollars to be raised in five years was launched, and every delegate declared that it would be raised and dedicated to Christian education. May it be said to the credit of the convention that during the entire session there was not one point of order raised, but all worked together for one end, the betterment of the cause. PRESIDENT KING PRESIDES Dr. T. J. King called the convention to order Wednesday morning, May 13, at 9 o'clock and made a brief statement, congratulating the convention on having so many present at the opening session and briefly outlined the work for the week. He referred to the past 12 months and said that death had invaded the ranks and several of the strong warriors had answered the summon. The Rev. S. N. Daughtery, lined the opening hymn, "Amazing Grace How Sweet the Sound", and the Rev. L. J. Alexander read the 9th Psalms as Scripture lesson and the opening prayer was made by Rev. E. D. Sands. Many prayers and songs followed, marking the opening of the convention. Following the opening, the gavel was turned over to Dr. A. A. Galvin, pastor of the First Baptist Church, who presided during the delivery of the addresses of welcome. He formally tundr over the keys of the church to the convention, declaring that they stood ready to serve. The key not only opened the church, but opened the homes of all the members of the church as well as their pocket books. "We are proud to have you mea, with us this week", said Dr. Galvin, "because you bring to our youth inspiration, and your meeting will be a part of the education of our young people. They will have an opportunity of seeing and hearing some of the best thinkers in the whole race. I am not to deliver the address of we come for we have others for that purpose, and as naster I open the doors of the church". PROF. LEE SPEAKS Prof. J. S. Lee, president of the State Sunday School Convention was the first speaker. He spoke for the young people of the state and city, the future church, the youth who could take the places of the men and women of today. In extending welcome Prof. Lee made an appeal for the young men entering the ministry, asking the older ministers to encourage them. He hoped that a conversion would be had during the session of the convention. Rev. J. A. Brown, pastor of the Queen Street Baptist Church, Hampton, represented the Ministers Conference in his welcome to the convention. He was eloquent and said some practical things to the brother ministers, those who were in the battle against ignorance and litteracy. The other denominations were represented in a welcome address by Rev. G. C. Taylor, pastor of the A. M. E. Church, Newport News. His address was freighted with Methodist enthusiasm and fire and punctuated with outbursts of applause. DR. W. H. R. POWELL RESPONDS. The Rev. W. H. R. Powell of Philadelphia, who is a graduate from the Virginia Theological Seminary and College responded to the addresses. He is one of the aggressive young ministers. He in choice language accepted the addresses. Dr. S. A. Thompson sang a solo which added much to the spirit of the meeting. Rev. Henry A. Stevens, preached the convention sermon at 12 o'clock noon, using as his text, "And hereby we do know that we know Him if PRICE, FIVE CENTS OO DRIVE by the Va. t State ention we keep His commandments", I John ii:3. The sermon was well prepared and likewise delivered. In the afternoon session on the main feature was carried out, which was the delivery of the annual address by President T. J. King and the election of officers. The opening of the session was conducted by Rev. J. H. Burnham, Rev. I. A. J. Ken- nedy and A. Gaffney. Attorney T. C. Walker was introduced and made a short address telling of the educational work being done throughout Virginia. Dr. W. F. Graham read a telegram announcing the death of the wife of Dr. J. W. Boykin, Camden, S. C. It was ordered that a telegram of sympathy be sent from the convention. GREAT ANNUAL ADDRESS "The Way Will Grow Brighter" was the subject of a solo song by Rev. I. C. Reddie, and then Dr. J. H. Burks, of Columbus, Ohio of the pioneer ministers of the convention in an eloquent address presented Dr. T. J. King who delivered the annual address. The address was styled as a literary gem, the masterpiece, it being the seventh address delivered by Dr. King, who had improved each year, furnishing more and more inspiration to the work. He had carefully studied the work of the Baptists of the State in all of its phases, hence was prepared to make some practical recommendations. Among them was the budget calling for $250,000 to be raised in five years and dedicated to Christ's an Education. This brought forth applauses and the approval of the brethren. Following the address the correspondent secretary reported, as did the treasurer, Dr. W. T. Hall, and the auditor, Dr. R. H. Bowling. MEMORIAL DAY SERVICES AT SHARON SUNDAY. The Memorial Services in honor of our soldiers who fell in war. will be held at Sharon Baptist Church, Sunday morning, 11 o'clock. Rev. R. H. Johnson. B. D., will deliver the message. Rev.

Do note all of this, the Richmond Right Infirmary Blues, the "crack" military organization of Virginia in general and Richmond in particular took four Negroes with them to New Haven, Connecticut. Even the Governor of Virginia and the Mayor of Richmond were in favor of having them named to go with the party. What is the use of colored folks worrying? The better class of Virginians are all right and so are the better class of colored folks. "A PEACE - TIME HERO". THE RICHMOND, VA. Times Dutch is strengthening the "bond of union" between the better class of white folks and the better class of colored ones. A recent editorial under the caption of "A Peace-Time Hero" in the columns of that journal does follows: But many weeks ago Richmond uncovered its head in respect for an armed and gentle Negro whose worm body was given burial from St. Paul's Episcopal Church, the church that has been glorified through the worship there of Robert E. Lee, the church that in many ways is the most sacred reminder of the Confederacy that Confederacy which a three part of the world still believes was determined to keep the Negroes in involuntary servitude. That part of the world which is most of the South looked on and invoked because it did not—could not understand. It failed to grasp the significance of that solemn ceremony over the remains of a Negro man or who had been a slave, a man attended by hundreds of men of the dead man's race who saw the news of their white brother and heard the impressive words of the funeral service read by white efficients. It could not understand that his gentle Negro who had died was being honored merely because he was gentle, because his life had been one of devotion to others and of rigid adherence to his humble duties, and the Richmond, in honoring his memory was symbolizing the friendliness. VICTORY OVER SPAIN relations that always have existed between the races here, and paying tribute to that faithful allegiance to their white friends which has been one of the most notable traits of the Negroes of the South'. This is an admirable statement of the event. The personality of Robert Damell, the humble colored sexion disappeared as the great out pouring of white and colored people recognized the transcendent qualities to which he stood and emphasized the fact that he represented a type of black humanity that is unfortunately "growing, beautifully less". These colored folks of recent parenthood are much bruised over this trouble as are the northerners who have seen many summers and who cannot understand that friendship between this class of white and black people is of a kind that "Time cannot afface or eternity wash away". It may further "In the South understands; it understands, too, why, Tom Lee, a Nebraska of Memphis, is recognized as a hero; why columns of newspaper are used in telling of his history, and why the city of Memphis is giving him a home and collecting an insurance fund to make the remaining years free from poverty. Tom Lee is a simple, black man, attracted Nebraska, but today Memphis and the South generally are paying him the tribute due to the honest hero who without thought of self wrested his little boat into the murky waters of the Mississippi River and carried safely to shore thirty-two white passengers who had been thrown into the waters when the stormer M. E. Norman suddenly turned turtle and sank. Tom Lee had no thought of reward, no thought of personal danger. Like the real hero, no difference what, the race or color, he did only what he conceived to be his duty at the moment, and he is honestly surprised to find that his simple performance of duty has made him an outstanding figure among his people". For more than forty years, we have endeavored to bring all of the white people to a full realization of the fact that there have been and that there are today tens of thousands of Robert Dumells and Tom Lees in the Southland. They are humble, polite, obliging and would give their lives for those white people regardless of sex or religion, who have won their confidence and are entitled to their service. They will do more for the approval of this class of white people than they will for money. The Times-Dispatch editor concludes as follows: "Here, again, the North will not understand; it will more nearly grasp the meaning of Tom Lee and the honor done him than it did the significance of Richmond's burial of its aged Negro servitor, for at Memphis there was a single, concrete instance of great personal bravery to be rewarded. But still it will not see in this further evidence that the South is the natural home and the one real friend of the Negro, and that it recognizes and respects devotion and courage wherever and in whatever fashion it may be displayed. "These two incidents are cited here not because they are unusual but because they reveal to a world without the South conditions to which it has been blinded by ignorance and realism. One wonders if either one of these incidents could have happened in Chicago or any other Northern city that has been wont to point the finger of scorn at the South because of its treatment of the Negro". It should not be forgotten that just in proportion as one class of liberal white southerners recognize the worth of this class of colored folks, another class of illiberal ones are endeavoring to bring about the THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND VIRGINIA Negro's undoing. They misrepresent, oppress, aggravate, hamper and injure him. It is often caused by envy and jealousy. They set up the cry of Negro-lover, from which many New Day white folks shrink and under cover of this perpetrate outrages upon this hapless and helpless class of people in a way to reflect upon the better class of white people of the Southland, who in reality, are these same Negro's best friends. What is needed is positive action on the part of the white folks. In St. Paul's Church at Richmond and in the Mayor's office at Memphis, Tennessee, we see the movement carried along the lines indicated by us and some way and some how God will make for the Negroes of this country in general and the Southland in particular, the rough roads smooth and the crooked ones straight and the stentorian halujahs of these same Negroes will be heard in all of this land.

In the boatman's home the water-soaked travelers whom Lea rescued from their harrowing experience, when it seemed that the bottom of the Mighty Mississippi was holding its welcoming arms open to them. Tom Lea's Cabin typical of the humble but cleanly Negro home of Arkansas and its sister Southern States in its act of charity towards the distressed and under the pressure of critical moments when lives were in danger, became a living example of what may be termed enforced social equality. In fact it became a miniature hospital for the comfort of the afflicted, without regard to race or color. Social equality, the sadly misunderstood bugbear of projectionists of racial supremacy, was left sitting on the bench while Tom Lea and his family went to the bat, with charity for all and malice toward none, administering to the Norman's survivors. Life is sweet. Life is wonderful; and when the grave yawns openly in the faces of either whites or blacks, those things which make life sweet and wonderful come to mind without suggestion. There are many things down in the districts which abut Tom Lea's Cabin which would make life sweeter and more wonderful to the thousands of "Tom Leas" of the Southland who have been forced into a life of semi-darkness by the bugbear of social equality. These sumerged "Tom Leas", of pride and ambition have long awaited the dawn of the day when advocates of supremacy, who have succeeded in keeping the Negro in his place by means of the social equality blindfold would understand that social equality is an individual and not a racial matter. To set it up against individuals is quite right and proper; but to set it up against an entire racial group, sought to be oppressed because of color is an act of gross ignorance,—a proof of indisputable bigotry. That it is a mere smoke screen is amply proved by the increasing number of "human admixtures" in the territory where social equality is the misnamed test of civilization. Duplicates of Tom Lea's Cabin on the Mississippi may be found all over the Southland. full of Christian love but kept apart from the freedom of America only in such times as scourges and depression beset the oppressors, when misery is not at all particular of the company it keeps. We are grateful to God for the continuing lives of the souls whom Tom Lea rescued from the muddy Mississippi: for we are optimistic that they will carry back to their constituency tales of the charity which they received in the home of the humble Negro hero. Perchance their message will stimulate contrition and meekness in the hearts of many who use social equality as ballast for Opportunity. Justice and Love. HOWARD UNIVERSITY STRIKE. "A Little Knowledge is a Dangerous Thing."—Howard hilltop continues to rage with civil indictments and counter indictments as between the Faculty, headed by President J. Stanley Durkee (white) and the striking students. From the maze of allegations which are being hurled back and forth, it is difficult to say who is in the right. Nor is it possible to forecast just what kind of ashes the burning flames of the Howard insurrection may bring forth. There is one question, though which is outstading in the disgraceful hilltop strike. That question runs parallel to the question put by Governor Coolidge when the Boston police strike was in progress. The Governor said that no one had the right to strike against the public interest. Howard has long since been th pride of the Race's educational institutions of gigher training. A quasi-Federal institution receiving appropriations of the people's money through Congress if represents a benefice, as it were, of the people—an endowment for the training S—"GOOD NIGHT" LADIES! 4—HOME SWEET HOME? By "THE CAMER^MAN." (Preston News Service) of Negro youth for the public service. The Howard student of the past has made a high mark in world service, and upon his virtues the Howard student of the future has built high hopes,—hopes which amid this strike spectacle of today, are indeed placed in jeopardy. At best, and regardless of facts it is difficult to justify any Howard student under twenty-one years of ages coming to this public university for a brief four or five-year course, making himself unamenable to the University's rules and regulations, even though it may be later shown that they are unjust. Such action is not in keeping with common sense, good judgment, and regard for public interest, which, first of all, in this particular, has its eyes set upon the higher education of those Negro youths who seek such an armor with which to take part in the Race's battles of jife. That these boardless youths who have scarcely yet touched the hem of life's garment, should take strike means to overthrow rules is a severe blow to the call of education. There are probably sufficient colleges in America today to accommodate those students who cannot, for a few years, stand the gaff of rules and regulations unjust though they may be. Of course, it is patent knowledge that Dr. J. Stanley Durkee has, for some reason or another sought to make Howard over into a "high brow" institution instead of keeping it open to the masses, and has practiced discrimination against certain classes of applicants, as to whom special and extraordinary rules of debarment have been made. And it must be embarrassing to him that the "high brow" atmosphere which he has sought to create in Howard's student body should revolt against the administration. Even so the true purposes of education must be served; and Negro youth of America must look upon How and as a privilege rather than a right. Hence, the strikink students, who might be justified were they men and women of the world rather than fledglings are solely responsible for the spectacle of discord which Howard now presents—a picture which is not at all consoling those who are fighting the sterner battles of life in behalf of the struggling Race. ```markdown ``` "GOOD NIGHT" LADIES! According to the loquacious "stub" pen of Miss Evelyn C. Hunt, (white) society and dramatic writer of William Randolph Hearst's Washington Herald of May 10th there are hundreds of thousands of sympathetic Christian white women in the world who are not "ladies"; for, as Miss Hunt says, in her comments in last Sunday's Hearst Herald regarding the walkout of the two hundred colored singers who were humiliated beyond performance over the conduct of Washington segregationists: "Every lady would have walked out if she had found herself seated next to a colored person" in which, event, we presume it would have been a case of "Good Night-Ladies". But, as we said before, the Hearst dramatic editor "stubbed" her pen. In the first place although Miss Hunt evidently takes it as a presumption, nowhere in the dictionary are we able to find that "ladies" are limited to the white women's group. In fact, going back to the dreary past when Moses married the daughter of Jethro, who was decidedly black but, nevertheless, one of the finest ladies in the land, Miss Hunt can readily see that, for historical reasons, "her ladyship" depends upon no scheme of color. In the second place just a short hour or two at a playhouse, or at church for that matter, does not reveal what female attendants are actually "ladies" or what males are "gents." Why no one, as yet, has been able to tell just what in the State of Arkansas, is responsible for the increase, during the past 40 years of 550 per cent. in the number of muattoes. In the third place, however, and for the sale of argument, we will presume that when Miss Hunt referred to "ladies" she meant, whites only. We're quite ready to admit that in certain spheres, white women "ladies" and others, deem it a calamity to come in contact with colored people in public places. As a rule, the poorer and more ignorant whites are the greater insult attends the contact. On the other hand, the more of a lady the "offended" is, the more she realizes along with the col- ored "offenders" that contact in a theatre or other public gathering is of small concern and has no bearing upon the social status of either white or black. This is the view that all colored people take and this is the view that intelligent Christian white people take. Contact is not content, and while all ladies are women, all women are not ladies either in the strict sense or in the restricted sense of Evelyn C. Hunt. Following the Washington Auditorium episode so upsetting to Miss Hunt the colored ladies of the Mu So Lit Club, Washington, entertained at tea many white ladies who had been present at the Quinquennial of International Women. It is said that the majority of the guests present were foreign ladies of distinct ion who were delighted with the courtesies extended them and pleased to be in a ladylike atmosphere where color was not a mooted question. As Miss Hunt must see, it was quite an error to be so selfish to presume that all ladies were restricted to the confines of American shores. Be that as it may, we'll be ready to cry, even in Heaven if Miss Hunt's rule obtains,—and we are sure it will not—and all ladies whom St. Peter, in Heaven, seats besides colored people, get up and walk out of Heaven. Wouldn't that be awful? ```markdown ``` HOME SWEET HOME? "Hot dogs, pretzels and pop are all right for in between eats; but please give me some pork chops or steak and onions once or twice a day", said a genial looking visitor, as he sat down in the office and watched us caress the typewriter keys. "What's the big idea?' we replied savagely at the interruption. "This is a busy desk, not a free lunch counter". "Come on now. Mr. Cameraman, and hold your horses. Noting that you so often show signs f brain ptery, I want to give you an honest-to goodness idea" our visitor laughing ly replied. "Well shoot away and make it snappy". "It's just like this, Mr. Cameraman", our uninvited guest continued, with a shrug of his broad shoulders. "I've always claimed that colored people are the greatest imitators in the world. Now during the war, when the white folks were swarming into the city and delicatessen shops and two room apartments were all the rage, the colored people were just as satisfied as they could be with detached houses and broad lawns, with plenty of space and air; but now that the war is over and the housing situation is easing up, they have gone wild about one room apartments and kitchenette affairs; and all those nuts who don't stop at the delicatessen store and bring home some potato sal'ad and cooked ham are wearing out two and three can openers each week taking the tops off of sardines or corned beef. I tell you, sir, Home Sweet Home with Mother in the kitchen basting chicken and baking mince pie is almost a thing of the past". "But this is a modern day, when to save time is to lengthen life" we interrupted, reflectively. "I know all about that", our visitor persisted: "but what I want to show you is that the imitation idea of Home Sweet Home, a la apartment style, which we absorbed from the white folks is putting us on the rocks of financial and physical decay. You see the delicatessen stores soon drew a bunch of Chinese laundries and Jewish tailor shops, together with some 'serve me quick' lunch counters, where all they have is cakes and coffee. Oh, it is modern life all right. The doctors, drugists and dentists are reaping a windfall nowadays; and it's easier for me to walk on my hands than it is to get Sis to sew on my vest. She'd rather take it to the tailor shop and pay for it with her own coin". "Don't tell me" continued our visitor sadly, as he arose to depart. "The good old community of interests, which used to prevail in the home is becoming very wobbly. Money! Business! Rush! They have all taken a wall loat at Home Sweet Home and knocked out the oneness which we had when I was a kid. Those things are all right, but the home of sacrifice, love, unity, companionship. quietude is no place for them", he fairly shouted as he hurriedly left. And we're not sure that the brother was not correct.

BY ERWIN GREER (President Greer College of **Automotive Engineering)** The automobile theft is doing a big business of late, and the records show a large increase over that of last year. How then, can the car manufacturer bring out a less standardized and thief convivence that will real prevent a car from being stolen and what will be the characteristics of this perfect lock? The motorist of today needs be a conviviance that can be locked unlocked from the car seat by driver, or else something that automatically remind the driver its existence before he starts. Something which merely proves the engine from being started on the ordinary way is of absolute no use. For example, if the starter is disconnected by the owner, there would be nothing to stop two or three men from startling the engine by pushing the car with the gears in mesh. Why not give the thief constructive rather than destructive work? Let him build up instead of tearing down. Destruction is much more simple than construction, and it can be done with most any tool. Any prisoner, given time and a saw, can eventually break jail, therefore, if the device will break a connection of some sort, perhaps something that would temporarily prevent the engine transmitting power to the differential, it would be more likely to confuse the thief than a more locking device, which could easily be destroyed, and allow the car to be driven away. It isn't the fact of getting the better of a thief with only a few minutes' time in which to work out his getaway. It's got to be something that will puzzle the skilled mechanical thief, who has a longer time in which to accomplish his work. The majority of old time motorists suggestions seem to turn to some device which will lock the gear in neutral, and by the way, there are already numerous devices of this kind in existence, many of them operated with a Yale key. This hancyle is to reach of the driver, but in such a make it awkward than it tries to file off the again is a desire ther than a constructible device which brings us closer to what we started. 1 GUESS ATLL FOOL EM your car unattended.

Every private in this regiment and most of the officers were Negroes. The General said:— "This is the best disciplined and best drilled and best spirited regiment that has been under my command at this cantonment.

It relates to the world how 300,000 Negroes crossed the North Atlantic, braving the terrors of the Submarine Peril to battle for Democracy.

This program had been arranged to show foreign ladies just what America has contributed to music. Evidently some one—in charge—decided that this was not enough to show the foreign ladies. They must be shown that democracy in these United States is confined to whites only. They must be shown also just what the land of the free and the home of the brave has contributed to the god of hate, prejudice and bunk But the miracle happened. These Negro singers and musicians walked out. There was no program as far as they were concerned. This little group, by their actions, said to the United States and to the rest of the world, that at last the American Negro is beginning to show the germs of mass or group action. This is the summation that white America has striven against with might, main and flattery.

Now, with Cleopatra you use no hot combs and your hair becomes long, soft and silky, with just enough wave to be beautiful. After using Cleopatra for a short while you can dress your hair in any style most becoming. Cleopatra does exactly as we say. Cleopatra is not an experiment, but's the result of long and careful scientific study of the hair and scalp of colored people. Cleopatra is a very high class preparation put up especially for those who can af- ford and who appreciate an exclusive toilet article. As you know, the hair is a tube with a delicate skin covering, and once this skin is destroyed the hair quickly dies. Now, nothing destroys this skin quicker than a hot comb By mail, one dollar prepaid, a full 30-day treatment. Write name and address plainly. P. O. Box 422---Dept. M --- A MIRACLE happened in Washington recently. Something that most of us have said could not happen. But it did happen. A group of Negro women were there to attend the sessions of the International Council of Women. Women were there from all over the civilized world as well as from the United States. United States women were in the majority. They were running the affair. The foreign women were guests. Our own white women had charge of all arrangements as to program, halls, receptions, and all the rest of it, including the seating arrangements. A group of Negro musicians—our very best—had been invited to give the program on a certain night. They were there all ready to sing. They discovered that Negroes, their own people mind you, had been segregated. That is, the white women who run and manage the International Council of Women in this country had permitted someone to demonstrate to the foreign ladies just how "we handle the race problem in SOMETHING ENTIRELY NEW. and those who have tried this method know to their sorrow we speak the truth.

Some Negroes will say that these Negroes missed an opportunity to show the whites just what we can do. This is tommy-rot. The whites in this country know better than we, just what the Negro can do. The outstanding gain to us from this affair is, that this group of Negroes denied themselves the pleasure of applause, congregation and that good feeling that comes to all of us when the world bows at our feet. It is this budding consciousness of kind, this young racial solidarity that should make us stop and think before we say that these Negroes did not do the wise and politic thing. I hope that more Negroes will decide to take the same attitude when the same situation confronts them at some future date.

(Adv.) --- SHOCKING MURDER (Continued from page 1) A heart-rending scream reviverated through the neighborhood — it was the biblical mother while a boy sobbing as though his heart would break. limped up the street just in front of the Planet's representative. The features of the woman were calm and peaceful. TOOK MONEY FROM BODY. She had paid the debt of nature and rested well. Women from the neighboring houses proceeded to hurriedly go to the residence and just then a car driven by Funeral Director John Everet Price came up seventeenth Street. He offered the Editor a seat and a few moments later he was again in the Planet office. Willie Moore is reported to be 25 years of age and the woman he murdered 'is somewhat older. After he killed Sarah Ann Hart, it is reported that he took money from the body, pulling up her skirts and extracting a roll of money from her stocking. Then he waited until the officers came, after which he left hurriedly for parts unknown. SURRENDER TO THE POLICE. On Monday, he surrendered himself to an officer and he is now in the Richmond city jail, awaiting the action of the grand jury. It seems that the party that left the Holloway home took "a short cut", going up the Tenth Street hill. The tragedy occurred soon after they got to the top, in the middle of the street just in front of the second brick garage counting from the west. The whole neighborhood was aroused. WILLIE MOORE INTERVIEWED Shortly after 4 o'clock, Editor John Mitchell, Jr. called at the City Jail and found Deputy Sergeant John R. Saunders at work preparing his reports. A few moments later, the Planet's representative was standing before a crowd of prisoners on the second tier asking for Willie Moore, the sayer of the wife of Will Hart. A colored man of slim build, wearing a soft-felt hat stood before him and announced that he was Willie Moore. He had a slight smile on his countenance and appeared to be somewhat embarrassed by the steady gaze as question after question was proclaimed to him. MANY LISTENED Around and about him stood a solid mass of the prisoners, who listened to every word spoken. Moore noted that he was from Connaker, South Carolina. He had been in Richmond five years. He had never been married. He lived at 1315 N. Seventeenth Street and kept company with Sarah Ann Hart. He had been drinking. When he left the house to go to Christian Baptist Church at the Samaritan's Hall, 6th and Duvai 'Street, in the parry were Henry Littlejohn, Kate Littlejohn, James Austin, Eva Austin and himself and Sarah Ann Hart. He had words with Sarah. In reply to many questions asked by the editor, he said: THE MEAT TROUBLE. "Yes, we had words. She was quarrelling about the meat. It was about 3 o'clock in the day when the trouble occurred. I did not throw the meat in the slops. I throw it out in the yard. I put the pan back on the stove. When asked why he throw the meat out, he said he did not like the smell of the meat. Yes, Mrs. Holladay had come to him and upbraided him about his actions. He had promised not to curse in the house any more. He did not carry a knife all of the time, but he did most of the time. He admitted that she took one knife away from him and still had it. He did not carry a knife to do any one any harm. He did not say before he went out that Sarah Hollard would never come back. HE CUT HER. The party went up the hill about 9 o'clock Sunday night and came up at the dump on Turpin Street. The other members of the party were about a block ahead of him. "I cut her," he said simply. When told that there were 19 wounds on the body, he said he could not see how that could be. He had no recollection of cutting her that many times. He did not take any money from her. He did not wait until the officers arrived. He did not run away. He just walked away. He did not know she was dead. When asked about the whereabouts of the knife, all he would say was that he "host it." He went over to South Richmond and stared in the Southern Railway yards that night. He worked for the Southern Railway as a section hand. GAVE HIMSELF UP On Monday, about 1 o'clock, he gave himself up to a policeman and he was brought over to the First Police Station. He has many relatives in South Carolina. His people are at Connaker, South Carolina. His fa her's name is Arthur Moore, his mother's name is Anna Moore. He has a sister named Allie Moore and two brothers Isiah and Chester Moore. His uncle's name is Hamp Moore. This ended the conversation. In this mass of humanity, no one would have picked this man out as being the one charged with the butchery of this comely-looking woman. It was only he day before that John Mitchell Jr. had been accosted by Mary Burnes who resides in the vicinity of the Richmond City Jail with her grand-daughter. She was glad to see him. THE LUNENBURG PRISONERS. She was one of the noted Lunenburg prisoner, for whom Editor Mitchell had even some of the best moments of his life to free from the gulls and she was released from a ten year sentence and sentiently to thirty-five years ago. This soot: a company of Virginia militia had escorted them ETERNAL JUSTICE. (By Charles Mackay) The man is thought a knave or fool, Or bigot plotting crime, Who, for the advancement of his race, Is wiser than his time. For him the hemlock shall distill, For him the axe be bared; For him, the gibbet shall be built; For him the stake prepared. Him shall the scorn and wrath of men Pursue with deadly aim; And malice, envy, spite and lies, Shall desecrate his name. But truth shall conquer at the last, For round and round we run, And ever the right comes uppermost And ever is justice done.

And live there now such men as these— With thoughts like the great of old? Many have died in their misery, And left their thought untold. And many live, and are ranked as mad, And placed in the cold world's ban. For sending their bright far-seeing souls Three centuries in the van; They toil in penury and grief, Unknown, if not maligned; Forlom, forlom, bearing the scorn Of the meanest of mankind; But yet the world goes round and round And the genial seasons run. And ever the truth comes uppermost, And ever is justice done. C. P.

Thirteen years ago twelve leading prescriptions of my city treated me for kidney trouble and gravel without the desired benefit. These doctors advised me to be operated or, as that was the only chance for me I was advised to go and get some Hayden's Herb Medication and try to be fore-borne operated on. I did so, and twenty four hours after using the medicines, I passed at least a half dozen gravel, some as big as a large tree. Since that time I have not suffered wish the gravel.
