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.

A row of anaemic, stoop, should: ered. stringy | headed, skinny legged half-fed children are marching up to the cave to the tune of the bell. On the eave is an old board sign. On this sign in eave-man lettering is the following Bryan} esque inscription: “NO EVOLUTION TAUT IN THIS CAVE”. A 4 | ‘When Mr. Bryan sees this cartoon he will pro- bably exclaim “Amen”.

When Mr. Schuyler has lived as long, trav- eled as much, and has acquired the persp:city that Prof. Miler has, he will find a cause for recision of some ‘of his blab-blab stuff against Prof. “Miller. “He will find that the Negro immi- ‘erant to the North should continue Jin the voontion he has the most Jsnowledge, mostly farming, and deal sparingly fn such manufacturing en. terprisés as “Kink No More”, “Smell /My Feet”, a nd “Make You White |Creams”, When our farmers are “scattered Some and their crops di- | versified and they learn to call on the land bank fnstead of the money }sharks, then we will be in a way to solve the unemployment concern- ing the Negro.
