WILLIS BRITT DANGEROUSLY WOUNDED 18-YEAR OLD WHITE YOUTH BENT UPON MURDER AROUSES CITY. Speedy Trial Promised--No Colored People Involved in the Triple Slaughter VOLUME XLII, NO. 38 ASTOU WILLIS 18-YEAR C Speedy Tr The killing of a white woman, a police-mergeant, a white man and the wounding of another popular white citizen has aroused all classes of citizens here, irrespective of race, color, sex or condition. Rudolph E. Disse, the young white man, who committed the crime and who seems to have no remorse over his act is a "neer do well". The story as told in all of its revolting details is that Vivian Tomlin Peers had been married to Marvin Peers, who, two years ago secured a divorce from her. She became enamored with Rudolph E. Disse, who proceeded to live with her as man and wife on Rosewood Avenue, although not married to her. WORKED AT MR. CARTER'S. Vivian Peers secured temporary employment at Henry G. Carter's lunch room. 1009 W. Broad Street. As a result of jealousy Disse had trouble with Carter and the latter beat him. He threatened Carter's life and a warrant was sworn out against him by Carter. The case was called in the Police Court, before His Honor, John H. Ingram, Police Justice. In the meantime, Disse had gotten out a warrant against his sweetheart, charging her with being an immoral character. This took place last Tuesday morning. Another warrant was served on Disse by Police Sergeant J. Harvey Burke, charging him with passing a worldless check. IN CHARGE OF AN OFFICER. The cases were continued until the 4th of August. Vivian Peers wanted her trunk from the Rosewood Avenue address where Diss$_{e}$ had resided with her and Mr. Willis Britt, who was at one time foreman of the Times Dispatch$_{e}$ press room, offered his car for the purpose. Into this car went Police Sergeant Burke. Willis Britt driving, Vivian Peers and Diss$_{e}$ After arranging for the removal of the trunk in Rosewood Avenue$_{e}$ and securing her satchel, Vivian Tomilin Peers went with the party to 507 N. 7th Street, where she expected to reside. BEGAN TO SLAUGHTER. Here Viwan Tomlin Peers was to get out, the place being near the corner of 7th and Clay Streets. Disse asked the girl if he would ever see her again. She told him she would not. He drew a revolver and shot her. He then shot Mr. Britt, following it up with two shots at the police officer. He crumpled up on the ground, being shot through the stomach. Disse then got at the wheel and drove the car up 7th Street towards Broad Street. He was followed by a veritable hall of bullets from the revolver of the wounded officer. Some of them struck the car but did not stop Disse. KILLED INSTANTLY. He went to 1009 W. Broad Street, where he found Carter at work. Without warning, he opened fire on him, shooting him through the heart, killing him instantly. He then started down Broad Street and a policeman overhaulled him at Brook Avenue and Broad Street, covering him with a revolver. He submitted to arrest and was carried to the Second Police Station. Officer Burke was one of the most popular men on the force and was loved and respected by his host of friends both white and colored. As for Willis Britt, he is SOUTHERN AID SOCIETY OF VA. INC. A GREAT ECONOMIC VALUE ADDING FAME TO THE BUSINESS STANDING AND LEADERSHIP OF COLORED RICHMOND. During the past 40 years practically every speaker or writer on race business progress, or the capacity of the race to conduct large business enterprises has referred to the standing or success of the colored enterprises at Richmond as the leaders in such development, or as practical examples of what colored people could do in such spheres of activity. In fact, it seems that outsiders of both races have a better knowledge and appreciation of the genius displayed by the various groups in control of these enterprises than the home people. It is therefore timely to comment on the great public service that one of these enterprises has rendered to the city and to our race group over its entire territory. WONDERFUL GROWTH, IN YEAR OF UNCERTAINTY. The Southern Aid Society of Virginia, Incorporated, is reporting in a whole page ad in this issue its wonderful growth in business despite what has been, and is considered an uncertain business year. Such growth under the most favorable conditions would be considered a great achievement on part of those in charge of the institution. Thus it will be profitable to attempt to analyze the methods of this organization and its unplifting influence to Richmond. As is generally known this Insurance Organization was chartered February 1893 to conduct an Industrial Sick Benefit Insurance Business. It has stuck religiously to its original purpose, and as a result it stands today as the oldest and largest strictly Sick Benefit Insurance Company in the country. It has increased its income from $7,000.00 the first year to over $800,000.00 in 1924. It will soon have an income of $1,000,000.00 per year. MONEY WISELY INVESTED It has wisely invested its funds in high grade realty here and elsewhere and in that way provided modern office buildings for the conduct of its own business, and afforded to race professional and other business groups facilities not heretofore available to them. It has also invested large sums in State and a model citizen and beloved by al who know him. A MODEL CITIZEN He is a man of charming approach practically a master mechanic and might well be termed nature's gentle man. He is constantly endeavoring to do a favor for a friend. He has a charming family and is a model for those, who have compiled with ma-trimonial laws of this country. The case seems to comply with all of the requirements stipulated under the law for first degree murder. County Bonds, and first len mortgages on churches, hospitals and homes of our race group. It is a large tax payer in the cities where it holds properties, and thus is heavy mail business is a large contributor to the post office business. In purchase of supplies and equipment it gives large patronage to merchants and businesses handling such commodities. REDERS LARGE SERVICE TO RACE ENTERPRISES. But in the handling of such vast sums of money the Southern Aid Society of Virginia Incorporated touches more largely the business life of the various cities in which it does business as well as renders the largest service to our group and its enterprises. Premiums collected from house to house are deposited in local banks - white and colored. These funds enable these banks to extend accommodation for the general upbuilding of the community. In fact, the deposits of the various insurance organizations with headquarters at Richmond have made Richmond the financial metropolis of the South-East. It is hardly necessary to add that the colored Insurance Companies and Fraternals are the mainstay of principally all colored banks here and elsewhere. Thus when the world points to the number and growth of the colored banks of Richmond they pay a covered compliment to the organizations that are behind the scene. PAYMENT OF CLAIMS A BIG ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTION. The payment of claims or benefits is another most important and help ful service the Southern Aid Society of Virginia Incorporated renders to our group and general business over its territory. This is best appreciated when we state that before the advent of such organizations, there was poverty and want in thousands, of homes. The public almshouses, missions and free dispensaries were always overcrowded. But now, thru the teaching of personal thrift and protection by the Southern Aid Society of Virginia Incorporated and like organizations, it has become a mortifying crime for anyone to ask help or charity in the sections where these organizations operate. They have made it possible for the race physician, druggist, nurse, hospital, lawyer, mechanic and business man—including the undertaker, to live, prosper and enjoy a good or fine practice or business. Surely we at home, as well as those abroad should appreciate the economic value of the great Southern Aid Society of Virginia, Inc. GOLDEN BROWN SAMPLE$ ARE SUPER-EXCELLENT.

HOW SHOCKING BULLDOWN DOWN YOUR DRESS? HALLIE Q. BROWN IS AGAIN HONORED HALLIE Q. BROWN IS AGAIN HONORED Famous Lecturer to Serve On Reception Committee at Atlantic City WILDERFORCE COLLEGE, Ohio. Miss Helle Q. Brown, of the faculty of Wilberforce College, lecturer, scholar and teacher of international repute, has accepted the invitation from Madame Mamie Highower to serve on the Reception Committee at Atlantic City in honor of Miss Golden Brown of America, and four other seintillating beauties from our race firmament. Reading like a fairy tale, Miss Brown's life story is extremely rich in romance and high achievement. Born on a little farm in Chatham, Canada, Miss Brown has rapidly risen in the esteem of her peers and she is today as firmly fixed in the affections of the residents of Aberdeen, Scotland, as she is in those of Aberdeen, Mississippi—in Yorkshire, England as in New York, U.S.A. She is both a lecturer and interpretative reader of the front rank. Miss Brown has appeared on the lyceum platforms of hundreds of American and Continental cities, always with a single result: a cordial greeting and the unanimous acclaim of the populace. Included in the Hallie Q. Brown repertoire are: Has Big Repertoire "Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee" "My visit to Windsor Castle, "Robert Burns, the Scottish Flowerman" "Song, Lecture and Recital, "Paul Lawrence Dunbar" "His humor and pathos in poetry and prose, "Folk-Love and Folk-Song" "Illustrated by quaint wit and wisdom of cotton field and cabin. "The Humor and Conflict of the World's Oppressed." For Sunday—"Character Building" and "The Call to Arms." Besides these lectures, Miss Brown has delivered hundreds of talks before the Women's Christian Temperance Union and other organizations, including the Y. M. C. A., B. W. T., etc. on various weeks' temperance missions. The Aberdeen (Scotland) Journal, one of the leading literary lights of Lauder-Land, recently said: "Miss Brown displayed remarkable elocutionary powers, and her gestures were graceful and appropriate. . . Her Negro Folk-Song was a quaint and plaintive lullaby." For some time Miss Hallie Q. Brown has honorably filled the chair of oratory and public speaking at Wilberforce College, Ohio. Long on admirer of her friend, Madame Mamie Hightower's inestinable service to our Group as a beauty culturer and benefactress, the acceptance of Miss Brown on the International Reception Committee completes a group of race publicists unique in the nation's annals. Besides Miss Prown, Robert L. Vann, of the Pittsburgh Courier, Edouard Scott, the Rembrandt of race artists, and C. C. Spaulding, president of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Co., have already signified their intention of assisting Madame Hightower in welcoming the loveliest girls and women of our Group in Atlantic City. Besides the Hudson Super-Six Coach, which will be given to Miss Golden Brown of America, along with a $100.00 trousseau and free trip to Atlantic City, with all expenses paid— four other free trips and four other $100.00 trousseau and forty-eight dazzling diamond rings will be given to those glorious girls, the very flower of our Group, who receive the most votes in Madame Mamie Hightower's National Golden Brown Beauty Contest. From 50 to 100 are packed with each of the justly famous Golden Brown Beauty Preparations, and girls from Portland, Maine, to Portland, Oregon, are striving with might and main to achieve the coveted honor. Friends, too, have entered the spirit of the Contest and are backing their favorites to the limit.

It depends on how many children you have, how many reasons there are why you don't get a rest on your vacation. Just think of the work you put into your garden to grow a lot of weeds—when the peaky things would have grown anyway. It's the heat we're kicking about now that's going to cost us so much a ton a few months from now. When sonny sneaks off to the swimming hole to get sunburned, he sometimes gets tanned.

Any time a day seems to drag, you can make up your mind you haven't enough to do. We think a man should stand up and take what's coming to him, and yet we train a youngster to lean over for the same purpose.

SOME PEOPLE never feel right, except when they are doing wrong and some never feel uncomfortable, save when they are doing right. THE OUTLOOK in Morocco is gloomy for Spain and gloomier for France. It will cost millions of dollars and many years to subjugate these educated African people, who learned from Europeans the finer art of modern warfare. THE DEATH of Row. Charles Stewart. D. D. of Chicago, UL. shocked not only the Baptist brotherhood and sisterhood of the Nation as it applies to the citizens of color, but the other organizations as well. Dr. Stewart was at his best. He was a scholar, a diplomat and a Christian. His remarkable abilities served the race with which he was identified. On fundamental principles, he was as true "as the needle to the pole". That he should have fallen in his prune is to be regretted, but God knows best and with a head bowed with grief, we commend his spirit to the Mighty Power thus rules the affairs of men. RUDOLPH E. DISSE could not have compiled with the requirements of the statute for the infliction of the punishment for first degree murder, more explicitly than he did, even if he had been coached by one of the leading criminal attorneys of the State. He left no loop-hole by which he could extricate himself. The killing of Detective Burke and Vivian Tomlin Peet's supplemented by the wounding of Willis Britt might have brought the punishment for second degree murder, but that midday trip to Mancock and Broad Streets in Mr. Peet's car, the killing of Henry G. Carter, closed every avenue of escape for him and sealed his fate. Insanity must be his only plea and upon what ground can he make it? FULTON NOTES. On the 19th great services were held at Mt. Calvary and Rising Mt. Zion Baptist Churches. Rev. O. B. Sims filled the pulpit at Calvary in the morning, while at the same time Rev. C. A. Cobbs officiated at Zion. Such spirit seemed to make a deep impression on both congregations. The messages of both pastors were along the lines of unity. The $^{e}$ writer recommends that these pastors call their licentiatess together and put on a street campaign in Fulton Y, GRILS AT WOHELA CAMP ON THE JAMES HAVING GREAT TIME (Edwina G. Clay) CLAREMONT VA, July 27.—Wohela campers rad two delightful surprises last Tuesday. First, the addition of a bus-ful of new campers and then the 23 mile auto trip to Scotland to see the home folks. Wednesday brought the welcome party to the "rookies" and the sueceeding days, trips to the beach in the day, council fires at night, trail blazing and a picnic. Saturday Mrs. Robert Scott motored down to bring her daughter, Grace. She was accompanied by Miss La Countess Wintrey. In every way is Wohelo a success for the fat are growing thin and the thin are getting fat and the kiddies all declare they could live here forever. We are learning more about birds, flowers and trees than we ever knew before and the various excursions are incubating in the impressionable minds of the children an appreciation of nature and a love of the innocent pleasures of life.

This Week (By Ernest Rice McKinnley) (Preston News Service.) Due to the fact that he had been only a mediocre student, there was great competition awaiting him should he attempt to carry on passing for white. There were thousands of white boys ordinary and commonplane just like him. In this same school along with our "passing" hero was a brown skin Negro boy who could not pass for white. To make a long story short I will say that this brown skin Negro was one of the most popular the most accomplished and in scholarship one of the ranking students in the school. This youth went to school and became just a freshman, one of about two thousand. After having been there for a couple of years he was just a sophmore, one of a thousand. He went into the junior class just one of many. He did nothing to get himself elevated in the eyes of students or faculty. When he graduated he was simply a colored boy coming out into the world, ready to ask Negroes to give him their money in order that he might live and not starve. If you will follow up this sort of thing you will find that such is usually the case. As a rule the Negro student who passes for white in college, is a very ordinary youth. As a rule, also, this student amounts to nothing after school days are over. It is a rare thing to find a Negro becoming prominent or worth while who has passed for white in school. They have to put in too much time dodging and shuffling to keep from being W. A. PRICE, Incorporated My remarks last week were prompted by a series of incidences in one of the large universities. It seems that a young man from Cleveland was preparing to matriculate in this school. An Aunt with whom he lived called him in and told him that he was not going there as a Negro but as an American citizen. The young man evidently interpreted this to mean that he should "pass" for white. Evidently he thought that "passing" was the only way that he could deport himself as an American citizen. --- Checker Cab Low Rates and Prompt Service YOU GET BOTH WHEN YOU CALL RANDOLPH 456.

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA found out The serious part of this matter is that this type of student has the brass to graduate, hang out a sign and ask real Negroes to come in and part with hard earned cash. This animal, who is ashamed of his color and race, really feels peed and hurt when we pass him by and take our money elsewhere. He doesn't want to be black, but still he wants our money. He wants us to keep him alive, feed and clothe his family, buy him an automobile and send him on a vacation in the summer. The only reply that can be made to this sort of attitude is the wall known slang saying: "Them Days Is Gone Forever". There was a dentist, in our town, who is alleged to have made attempt to pass for Japanese while in school. After finishing he attempted to pass for black. But we passed him by and he has gone to find some place where Negroes have no prejudice against those of us who are only black while chasing the dollar, struggled for by real everyday Negroes.

F. Britten, cool historical logician that he is, writes very disconsolately in "The Sunday Pictorial" of London, England, depicting in future years "an unparalleled war to the death between the white and colored races" of the world. Mr. Britten writes in an excited vein, saying: "The shadow of a war cloud in the East is falling darkly upon the hitherto sunny world supremacy of the white race, whose prestige will disappear when the savage, barbaric millions from Africa and Asia can dey the white man". Even more disconsolately, Mr. Britten continues: "He, (the white man) has committed the crowning folly of leading the colored races into battle against white men, and the colored races hate the white with a hate whereof we have no conception". Friend Britten has wandered far from the pet theory of his race kinsmen, whose scientific satellites picture the darker races of the world, save the Japanese, as an indolent, half civilized, but happy-go-lucky people, void of initiative and complacent even amid hardship imposed by alleged superior groups. He also wanders far from the psychological proofs, as adduced by his group, of alleged inferior mental equipose among the dark human spots of the old globe. Lastly, Britten impliedly casts espersions upon the civilization which his people have carried to the dark vales of Asia and Africa. Methinks, perchance, that FEAR may have guided his pen to portray a retaliation, by the world's darker races, for grave acts of injustice which it is roundly admitted the self-constituted "supremists" have heaped upon the weaker races, usually dark of the world. Yet, we think—and we are glad so to think—that the calamities penned by friend Britten will never come to pass. That civilization and that Christianization which the darker races have imbibed from the white man's teachings have not yet, thank God, become sufficiently saturated with that master of the white world, "COMMERCIAL SUPREMACY AND ITS MONEY MARKET" to form an eclipse of the true types of idealistic life. While the white world is delving into finance, the dark world is plodding along hopefully, delving into Religion, Art, Music, Education and the refining products of honest-to-God civilization. The prospects of war are not, in general, disturbing the mind of the dark world. Rather, on the whole, "away with war" seems to be the hope of the dark world content, which almost mutely wonders why, in the name of Jehovah, the white world forgets its financial market for only one thing in this brief life—and that one thing is WAR which, said General William Tecumseh Sherman, is Hell. ```markdown ``` RELIGIOUS EDUCATION.

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

FIVE 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 out-come". THE NEGRO IN THE NAVY.

It relates to the world how 300,000 Negroes crossed the North Atlantic, braving the terrors of the Submarine Peril, to battle for Democracy. The loyalty and patriotism that characterized the black man's nature his sublimé self-sacrifice, his indisputable bravery, the wisdom of Negro Officers in command of their own troops.
