THE RICHMOND PLANET SEWERS' DEATH TOLL IS HEAVY Three More Lives are Snuffed Out. White and Colored Men Take Desperate Chances.--Gas masks Said to be Useless MAY 17, 1923 VOLUME, XLII, NO. 32 SEWET TO Three Sn White and Desperat masks Isaac Johnson, who resides at 106 Wood Street, Chelsea Hill, adjacent to the Bowling Green Road, was as phylaxed and killed instantly, while working in a sewer under the Marshall Street viaduct in the vicinity of the city jail. Sam Thomas, 1302 St. James Street, hastened to his assistance, oblivious of the cause that had snuffed out the life of his companion. It was a veritable death-trap and he too succumbed to the deadly gas. Eugene Norris, of 2402 Newborn Street was also a victim in a similar attempt. J H. Newsome, white and Jack Thomas, white, daringly undertook the task of rescuing the three men. TWO MORE MEN EXHAUSTED They succeeded in bringing the bodies to the surface, but were in turn exhausted and they were rushed to the Memorial Hospital, where after much effort, they were permitted to return to their homes. The manhole was thought to be absolutely safe, it not being connected with any other sewer. Johnson had gone down into the sewer and was returning, having nearly reached the top, when he fell backward into the sewer. His companions thought that he had lost his footing and went to rescue him, not thinking that sewer gas was the cause of his toppling to the darkness below. FIVE DEATHS IN THREE WEEKS The men, who went to his aid carried a long rope. They could give no warning and they died without a struggle. The white men carried gas masks, but they claimed that they were of little use. The men were employed by the Kelly Construction Company, which concern has the contract from the city. This makes five deaths within three weeks as a result of this sewer and its construction. The other two were eight year old colored boys. DR. CARRIE SUTTON BROOKS ILL MONTCLAIR, N. J.

D. and of the seventy-third anniversary of the historic Fourth Baptist Church closed Monday night, June 15th, after an elaborate program lasting eight days. Mr. George W. Gilliam, Jr., clerk of the church, in sketching the life of Dr. Payne, says: "The subject of this sketch was born of slave parents. William and Betsy Payne, about 1849. As soon as he was large enough he was put to work on the farm where he labored until he came to Richmond, Virginia, April 5. 1865. Remaining here for a while he worked at whatever he could find to do, such as carpenter, helper in a blacksmith shop and cooper in a warehouse. He married Miss Sarah Walker of Buckingham County, Virginia, and as a result of this union, he was blessed with two children, Felisco and Virginia V. Payne. He also adopted two of his nieces, Rosa B. and Lillie B. Jackson. "Rev. Mr. Payne professed religion 'n 1866 and was a candidate for memburship in the Doverme Baptist Church of Goochland, Virginia. Circumstances over which he had no control caused him to be absent from the above named church at the times of baptizing; so that two years elapsed before he could be baptized. Yet he remained under the supervision of the elders of the church. When he settled in Richmond he petitioned the Second Baptist Church for membership. After he was examined by the deacons and the church, he was baptized by the late Reverend William Troy, September 12, 1868. The church soon granted him a license to preach; he was gifted in song, prayer and exhortation and worked hard in preparation for the work that was before him.

Her program gave a wide range for her wonderful voice and the audience was well pleased. This was her second appearance here and the richness and melody of her voice have earned a permanent welcome.

Claiborne, of King William county, an unarmed colored man was shot twice and killed by State Prohibition officer, R. S. Durrette. Durrette's only excuse was that Claiborne tried to wrest his reviver from him. He fired once, breaking the colored man's arm and then again, shooting him through the heart. The colored man beckoned to him and when he got near enough to see mash on his overalls, he arrested him and he alleges that the struggle followed. A still was found in the neighborhood. There is much indignation among the people over the killing, which is considered to have been unnecessary. RICHMOND EDUCATOR WILL TOUR EUROPE THREE MONTHS Mr. Robert P.

Lineberger of California in the House of Representatives. February 18. 1925 under the caption "Milestones in the War Against the Narcotic Peril." We are much interested in his deductions and practical conclusion, when he quotes from a resolution adopted at the annual convention in December of the Association of Life Insurance Presidents, which contained the following preamble: "Recognizing the serious and growing menace of narcotic drug addiction to the integrity of society and the public health; and believing that the remedy is thru education rather than penal or punitive laws, etc." This applies with equal force to prohibition of intoxicating liquors.. It cannot be eliminated by man-made laws. The work must be done in the home and begin with the babe in the cradle. This will accomplish the practical elimination of the evil and raise up a constituency that will eventually stamp out both evils. The appropriating of large sums of money only corrupts the morals of the electorate and grievously fails to accomplish the basic purpose of the movement. When will common sense be enthroned and when will reason have its sway? We fear that Mr. Lineberger is appealing to deaf ears. This is an age of detercreation, where men with prejudices and with little minds endeavor to disregard the sign-boards of the ages and look no further than their front gate or the limited bounds of their own neighborhood. Fundamental principles are not only disregarded, but they are forgotten. Abusing white people will not get us anywhere. Praising some of them will help us a long way up the road. SOME PEOPLE are unfitted and unsuited for some jobs and they seem never to find it out. U DRIVE TAXI-CO. U DRIVE TAXI-CO. SEDANS, 12d. per mile.

THE RICHMOND PLANET RICHMOND VIRGINIA RACE PEOPLE --- COLORFUL NEWS "MOVIES" With a high temperature and rapid pulse, Howard University wearily lies upon a bed of pain and sickness. Specialists have been called in and Howard alumni have proffered their curatives, but the big school which has so long been a heaven of knowledge for Negro youth, is the victim of an epidemic of dissension and unrest, the final effects of which may leave wounds for time and tolerance to heal. The student strike which seems to have been won by the protestants has apparently innoculated other Howard elements with a feeling of restiveness, and internal and external groups, perhaps sincere and perhaps otherwise, have filled the university organization with educational antidotes—mostly painful ones. We have no arguments to advance which involve the Howard organization in detail. We do not know who ought to be at Howard, or what man, woman or child should be hired or fired in order to return Howard to the educational vigor which the University at one time enjoyed. However, there are those essential facts concerning Howard, which we do know. (1) Howard was created primarily for the higher education of Negro youth, and as such its past history is enviable in the annuals of Negro education; (2) Howard is a quasi-public institution in that funds from the public treasury are appropriated yearly by the People's representatives in Congress for the maintenance of the school; and (3) Howard is an eyesore to many members of Congress, who believe that higher education for the Negro should by no means be fostered and preserved. It follows that the dissension and strife now present on Howard hilltop are spectacles happily observed by "I told you so" enemies of Howard, who may during the coming year have a say in the dispensation of public funds. The days of President Wilbur Thirkield should be hastily recalled as exemplary days at Howard, when peace, harmony and unity made Howard what it was yesterday. The education of Negro Youth should be the paramount item for consideration by Howard's well wishers, and the cooperation of the public should be courted rather than jeopardized by all who would see Howard rise to the HOWARD IS ILL.

And the rose would have been as any other name, we think. Nevertheless Senator's hopes are encouraging, and are materialized, there'll be peace on and good will toward men. Geography, creeds and skin tint wielded so much power through all that we wonder, at times if the new nation has so very much on the old, differences trickle through all the ones named by the good Senator, and if occupations and religions can mend triances and smoke the pipe of peace sincerity, then racial differences will go to the scrap heap with all the banefences named by Senator Copeland.

The facts must be faced and all people must realize that American Negroes are thinking in terms of modernism—not heated modernism, but safe sane modernism dealing with the naked truth and seeing it just as the rest of the modern world. white, yellow brown and red see it. The transition is to be commended by all honest people, who should reciprocally call a spade a spade and discontinue attempting to deluge the Negro with a veneered surface of American events and American hopes. REFRESHING HOPES And now comes Senator Royal S. Copeland, of New York and for a plea doth say that "sectional occupational and religious differences of the Democratic Party" must be thrown upon the scrap pile of disuse. Eureka! And the rose would have been as sweet by any other name, we think. Nevertheless the Senator's hopes are encouraging; and if they are materialized, there'll be peace on earth and good will toward men. Geography, creeds and skin tints have wielded so much power through all the ages that we wonder, at times if the new civilization has so very much on the old. Racial differences trickle through all the elements named by the good Senator and if sections-occupations and religions can mend their variances and smoke the pipe of peace in all sincerity, then racial differences will go along to the scrap heap with all the baneful differences named by Senator Copeland. The task of course depicted by the Senator is a superhuman one and it will be necessary, first of all, for him to secure the hearty cooperation of his confreres below the Mason and Dixon line, where the church south is alienated from the church north; where history begins with the Battle of Gettysburg; and where occupations frequently suffer from the intervention of practices which challenge law, order and Christianity. There's virtue, though even in a hope; and there can be consummation of that hope if the good old preamble of the U. S. Constitution can be stamped into the minds of all who claim the right to its inspiration and the bene fit of its protection. THE RICHMOND PLANET.

FLYING, DIVING, A NEW ERA. FORD'S NEW PLAN. RAIN, CORN, PRICE. Judge Gary says there is something wrong with business conditions, and the something is LACK OF CONFIDENCE "the abnormal, unnecessary and TIMID, ill poised mental attitude of managers, including ourselves." That's as sound as a steel ingot. Our troubles are mental. Put a plank six inches wide on the ground, and of a hundred people, every one will walk the length of it without fear of falling. Put the same plank fifty feet in the air, and two in a hundred, perhaps, will be able to walk it. Put your plank up two hundred feet, and not one in a thousand will try to cross it. Yet, leaving out fear, it is as easy to walk such a plank a thousand feet up as it is flat on the ground. The height of our national prosperity makes some citizens dizzy. This is a new age, and the things we do would have surprised not only our grandfathers, but our sisters a few years back. Young gentlemen studying at Annapolis are told that hereafter an officer and a gentleman must know how to fly.

Henry Ford will use United States ships, if he gets them, to take cars South and around into the Gulf of Mexico and bring fruit and vegetables back to the north. That programme would be welcomed by millions. It would help to solve one problem of distribution and develop the great producing regions of the South as they should be developed. Messrs.

It has been raining in the corn belt and that has cheered the farmers. The corn crop suffered for lack of rain.

At Yucaipa, California, all members of the First Methodist Church witnessed the e.ul of a Bible-reading marathon. It was a noble reading, all out loud, every word distinctly pronounced. The pastor, the Rev. R. D. Kaley, stayed awake and read or listened throughout the 69½ hours. More deliberate reading, especially of Job and Isaiah, would be preferable. But any Bible reading is better than none. In Thibet you can give a few copers to a pagan priest with his prayer mill.

He took an arrogant tone, particularly toward the sheriff, and only was glad. She was glad because the losing job gave the Wreck something to do and in its performance he forgot his embarrassment at other things, at least tempo. He was terse and confident in his hands. Not a finger would himself; he had four men work for him. It took their united effort to get the fluffer on four sails. Bob Walls wanted to get over with and end on the trawl again.

But he said it would be to be rolled for quite a distance, and to the main road, sheriff scolded. You ran her in here, didn't you run out? In her in here in the dark, the Wreck. "Didn't know what chances I was running. Won't run again. Roll her." We haven't time." So? Well, I have." they rolled her. The Wreck encended to sit in the filver they rolled the thing up a grade with Bob Wells sweat- curing under his breath the members of his posse silent- ending themselves to the humili- task. on the down grades the Wreck counted and let the pose do the bringing. Then it was that he found self walking behind, with Sally gan at his side. Proximity gave a queer thrill. He stole glances her, when he thought she was ware of it. Engaged! He blushed never he remembered it. Of course, it was all a mere makehift. there was no illusion about the making of her engagement to Bob if it had ever really existed. with that broken, Sally was afflianced to nobody, except critically to himself. Perhaps it will be necessary to have a formal about it. He dreaded the night.

He walked behind the flivver in a pleasant but forbidden dream, with Sally wading his side. "You booned me!" He would rouse himself like that. "Keep her in the road. What are you trying to do; put her up a tree?" Then he would look at Sally, his mood would soften and the old em- barrassment would descend on him like a shroud. "We'll get out of here all right, Sally. Don't you worry." "I'm not worrying." "I mean about—" He caught him- self. Sally had long silences herself. She wished it were all over; that Bob Wells and his pose would hurry up and take themselves off and vanish absolutely out of the picture. She found me joy whatever in the pleasure to which the sheriff and his pose were subjected; she believed that most of it was unnecessary, even from the standpoint of punishment. But at the same time she did not want to be left alone with Henry "THEN THE ENGAGEMENT'S OFF. I SUPPOSE." "THEN THE ENGAGEMENT'S OFF, I SUPPOSE." Williams. That was the woman of it. "Don't you worry." repeated the Wreck, suddenly wry. "You don't have to—Hey! Don't you know which way to turn the wheels on a cruise? Want to upset her again? Want to wreck her?" Sally looked at the Wreck. "I don't have to what" she asked. "Oh." He was caught unwares. "Why, you don't have to—That is, unless—That's not it, either. What I mean is, you're not really engaged." It was a reckless speech and he felt instantly that he ought not to have made it. Sally was looking straight ahead. "Of course not," she said, in a low voice. The Wreck cursed himself. He knew that he was clumsy, and yet he was desperately groping for an understanding. "What I mean," he said, "is that it's working backwards, if you can understand. First we were supposed to be married. Then that off. Then we were supposed to be just engaged. And the love of Mike! Don't put your shoulder against that muqguard. You'll bend it! Get hold of the body. And shove. Shove! Don't they grow any brains in Montana?" The sheriff and the posse glared—and shoved. "And then?" remarked Sally.

[ I suppose, "he said, as he glared at the pose. "Which leaves everything exactly where it was at the start." There! He had reached the subject at last. He had dealt with it boldly, perhaps roughly; but he had not dodged it. Sally's eyes had a queer, uncertain look. There was something blurring, even when she looked at an object as plain and familiar as the fifteen. Silly, of course; but she could not get the blur out of her eyes unless she rubbed them, and she scorned that, with the Wreck at her elbow. "Let go of that steering wheel!" commanded the Wreck. "Can't you see that she'll stay in the ruts? All you've got to do is to be busy and shove. You act like we were pushing a five-ton truck. No. No! The other way. Are you trying to bust a spring? If you haven't got any brains, can't you have a little beef?" He came back from the bossing job with a glance in the direction of What? "She was sprinting. He could feel his soul squirm.

She was not crying, after all; at least, not now. Strange people, women. You never could tell how long they were going to stick to one thing. Still, if there was anything he could do for Sally Morgan, all she had to do was to say the word. "Of course, we don't the sheriff It's all on," she said daily. "No?" "What's the use of giving him too satisfaction? We could just keep on—" He broke off in a cry of laugh. The flusher was dividing into the again and the pose seemed to stop it.

"They don't get anything right," he complained. "Still, I think they're trying," she said generously. "But they don't understand." "Lots of people don't understand things." "Huh!" She meant something; he felt certain. Did she mean that there were some things that he did not understand? Well, if so, what were they? "Now you're just talking nonsense—in circles."

We'll be almost at the end of this foolishness." "Yes," agreed Sally. "I bet you'll be glad." She bit her lip until it made her wince. He was probably the most impossible person in the world.

Editor The Planet, Richmond, Va. Dear Sir: Having read the letter of Mr. I. S. Moore, of Bahia, Brazil in your issue of May 16th inst. and his references to some modern Judeas, I am writing this to ease my mind from a sense of aberration. Away out here I have two superlative interests; the unity of Christians in my sense of Christianity and the unity of the American Negro. Mr. George Schuyler, writing in the Pittsburgh Courier of May 16th shakes my interest in assailing Prof. Kelly Miller on his stand' and advice on the Negro situation. Mr. Schuy OUR FATHER ARTIN HEVER This Week (By Ernest Rice McKinney) (Preston News Service.) It was moved, seconded and carried that Mr. Bryan be refused membership in the body and that each member of the convention covenant to refrain from any and all association with the thrice stung candidate. Which brings up to Tennessee, the law against the teaching of evolution, Mr. Bryan as chief prosecutor and Prof. Scopes. In the first place Mr. Bryan knows nothing about the theory of evolution, the principles of pedagogy or any of the things that the modern intelligent world is concerned with. As prosecutor in the Scopes case he will be a complete fizzle. The state's attorney is all the prosecutor needed. There is no question about Scopes h a ving broken the law. The law as passed by a very "granite" headed legislature and it is the law of darkest Tennessee. This law forbids the teaching of the theory of evolution in the state schools and Prof. Scopes broke this law. He admits it. The court will find him guilty; as it should. When a man breaks the law he should be punished no matter how assin'the law. But Mr. Bryan is not ler should be branded as being liberally inclined and as another one of the Judases and the public would be wise to ignore his criticism.. When Mr. Schuyler has lived as long, traveled as much, and has acquired the perspicacity that Prof. Miller has, he will find a cause for recision of some of his blab-blab stuff against Prof. Miller. He will find that the Negro immigrant to the North should continue in the vocation he has the most knowledge, mostly farming, and deal sparingly in such manufacturing enterprises as "Kink No More", "Smell My Feet", a nd "Make You White Cream". When our farmers are scattered some and their crops diversified and they learn to call on the bank bank instead of the money sharks, then we will be in a way to solve the unemployment concerning the Negro. Cabarets, dance palaces and jazz halls, such as Mr. Schuyler boasts of in New York City tend only to make us more idle and degraded. A little better treatment and we will stay on the farm in the South. Let Prof. Kelly Miller alone and maybe he will convert a few of us lazy northern, eastern and western Negroes into producing from Mother Earth again, to the benefit of ourselves and our country. Yes, the economic system will be regulated, too. George can't do it, so give us more Kelly Millers. Yours truly. ROBERT GRANT. Box 55. Stillwater, Minn. COLORED PRINCIPALS FOR OUR COLORED SCHOOLS.

An old hag of a school teacher, thin, wrinkled, flat-footed and thin fin ginger stands in front of the cave ringing the schoolbell. A row of anaemic, stoop shouldered, stringy headed, skinny legged half-fed children are marching up to the cave to the tune of the bell. On the cave is an old board sign. On this sign in cave-man lettering is the following Bryan-esque inscription: "NO EVOLUTION TAUT IN THIS CAVE". When Mr. Bryan sees this cartoon he will probably exclaim "Amen". It is related that the jack-asses held a convention recently. The meeting was called to consider the case of Mr. Bryan. Have The PLANET Delivered to You.

His only concern is to try with all his might to return the American youth to the status of the cave man intellectually. He is against the theory of evolution, freedom of thought, intellectual honesty and truth. He doesn't believe that our youth should have an opportunity to fight the way through the darkness. He doesn't believe that they should search for the truth unhampered and unafraid. His god is Preconceived Opinion. He knows nothing of the long struggle to develop what little scientific method we have. Our scientific men don't know a great deal about the universe but they know more than the best of our ancestors and infinitely more than Mr. Bryan.

These women represent intelligence, character and leadership and one must congratulate the city of Norfolk for recognizing these qualities and amply rewarding them. A complete review of the Norfolk teaching force would add to this number well prepared men who are holding positions as principals of the larger elementary schools and the high school, the latter school represents the largest outlay which any Southern city has made for Negro education. All these schools are doing their work well. Now, Mr. Editor, I am anxious to know why should Richmond be so far different in this respect from all other cities in Virginia and the South? Is it due to the fact that there are no Colored persons in the city competent to assume the princi palship of these schools? Have not the city schools in all these days been able fully enough to inspire men and women to complete such courses as would fit them for these positions? The writer believes that there are men and women in Richmond just as capable in all respects as are these persons who are so successfully conducting the Norfolk schools. And even if there were not, may they not be found somewhere? A transfusion of new blood often stimulates growth. The question. Mr. Editor, which finally forces itself upon me is this. Do the Colored people of Richmond really want colored leadership in their public schools? Have they felt the need of the stimulation both to their children and to the community as large which competent Negro men and women could give? Have they felt that many doors of opportunity for leadership are closed to the race but this one which rightly belongs to it under the laws of the Southern States should be held by it? Do they know that every city in Virginia and A young girl in a dark coat stands in front of a circular backdrop.

THE 311 N. the South has its Negro men and women directing the affairs of its public schools for Negroes and that Richmond has become the laughing stock of the Negroes of other cities and states? Have they felt that the "Best Negroes in the world" apparently cannot produce men and women capable of taking charge of their own schools? When they know and feel these things, surely they will present a united front, and when such a front is presented in the name of justice THE monials from the Secretary of War and Army officers of high rank and reputation are set forth in no uncertain terms. The following ringing words of Major General Bell, addressed to the famous "Buffaloes," the 367th Regiment, are typical of the high regard and respect of American and European officers for our colored troops. 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. I predicted last fall that Colonel Moss would have the best regiment stationed here and you men have made my prediction come true. I would lead you in battle against any army in the world with every confidence in the outcome".
